Zhu Cijing slowly glanced at the generals present, and familiar faces appeared in his eyes. Movies and TV plots flashed through his mind. Most of them were famous generals who were famous in history, but in history, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, their endings were almost tragic.

Like Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming, etc., they all died in battle and died for their country;

Sun Chengzong even led his family to resist the Qing army at the age of 75. After the city was broken, he hanged himself and died unyieldingly;

Qin Liangyu, who regrets his life, may be the best luck among them, but she may have sacrificed her life for the country, and her inner grief may be worse than death;

As for Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu, their reputation is better than to die directly in battle!

Of course, history has been rewritten by him. These people are now senior generals with heavy troops. The tragic fate has gone away from them. Today, they are going to discuss how to deal with Huang Taiji, a destined enemy that has brought them pain, humiliation and even shame in history.

Thinking of Huang Taiji, Zhu Cijiu felt a sense of anger reaching his mind. He couldn't help but hold his hands and press it on the table, rubbed it, and stood up aloud, saying: "Everyone..."

As soon as he spoke, with a silly sound, all the generals stood up straight, and the emperor stood up. Who dared to sit down?

Zhu Cijiu nodded and continued to say loudly: "Everyone knows that Jiannu has always been a confidant of the Ming Dynasty. Last time they were asked to run away in Liaodong, Huang Taiji had been practicing in the Mongolian grassland for several years and began to frequently plunder the Ming border, hoping to lead me to the grassland to fight with it. I know that he wanted to reproduce the miracle of the Battle of Sarhu and the Tumu Fort. Before the Battle of Sarhu and the Bumu Fort, Jiannu's Later Jin and Mongolia's Watshu national strength were far from that of the Ming Dynasty, but in the end they all used the command errors of the Ming Dynasty to win. Naturally, I would not make such a mistake. This time I recruit everyone to discuss a detailed strategy to ensure that there is no mistake."

The generals present all showed praise on their faces. If they were stimulated, they would most likely lead to defeat. The way to win was to make a decision and then move.

Zhu Cijing then took out a long white wax pole and pointed to the sand table model in the middle of the table and introduced: "This is the topographic map of Mongolia in the south of the desert that I asked the Jinyiwei to secretly investigate. Now the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes are mainly concentrated in Chahar, Korqin and Hailar. The Chahar grassland is the location of the Khanate of the Qing Dynasty. There are about 100,000 Jiannu cavalry and 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, while Korqin and Hailar are mainly Mongolian tribes, with about 50,000 Jiannu cavalry and 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, which means that Jiannu now has 500,000 cavalry!"

Before he saw the sand table model, Zhu Cijing always thought that the Mongolian grassland was a big plain, with a flat mountain and endless view. After seeing the sand table model, he realized that he was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong. Most Mongolia in southern deserts are high and low deserts, and only a few basins have large grasslands. The three largest grasslands, Chahar, Korqin and Hailar, all have tens of thousands of square kilometers of square kilometers, and there are more than a dozen medium grasslands of thousands of square kilometers, while other places are basically deserts and Gobi.

Regarding how to attack Zhu Cijiu, he pointed to the sand table model and continued: "I now have a preliminary strategy, that is, divide the troops into three groups, directly attack the three prairie, and destroy Jiannu in one fell swoop.

I personally led the First Corps of the Imperial Guards, the Second Corps of the Imperial Guards, the Qin Army and the Dingliao Army as a total of 400,000 troops as the southern route, set out from the capital and attacked the Chahar grassland;

Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong Army, the First Border Defense Army and the Wuwei Army as a total of 300,000 troops, and moved from Beidaying to Haizhou City to attack the Korqin Grassland;

Sun Chengzong led the Guanning Army, the Liaodong Army and the Dongjiang Army as a total of 300,000 troops as the northern route, and set out from Guanning City to attack the Hailar Grassland;

Huang Taiji wanted to defeat each one, so I would let him not defeat any of them. With the combat power of the regular legion of the Ming Dynasty, 300,000 troops were advancing together, and he just gathered all 500,000 cavalry to attack the whole way, but it was useless.

As for defense, Hong Chengchou still led the Shaanxi Preparatory Corps to guard Yulin, Gansu and Ningxia;

Zuo Liangyu still led the Shanxi Preparatory Corps to guard Shanxi, Xuanfu, and Datong;

In addition, 50,000 elite troops from the Beiyang Navy were transferred to work with the Jinyiwei to guard the capital;

Transfer 50,000 elite troops from the North Sea Fleet to guard the Dongdaying;

The Henan Preparatory Corps who transferred Wu Sangui and the Japanese First Corps who were in charge of Beidaying;

As for Liaodong, it was guarded by Ma Xianglin's Second Border Defense Army Corps and You Shiwei's North Korean Corps;

It's probably that's it. Okay, everyone, sit down and think about it carefully. Is there any problem with my strategy?"

After saying so much in one breath, Zhu Cijing was so dry that he said that he was dry. He put the ash pole on the table, sat down with his butt, picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

The generals stared at the sand table model and sat down slowly, frowned and thought hard.

You should know that the Ming army has only thirteen legions in total. Apart from the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force and the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force who went to the South China Sea, there were only eleven legions left in the Ming Dynasty. This time, the emperor sent ten out in one breath, and even the defense had to call for the reserve legion, the elite navy and even the vassal states. The emperor wanted to devote the strength of the Ming Dynasty to the whole country to compete with Jiannu!

Seeing that everyone looked so serious, Zhu Cijing knew that they were all frightened by his actions of using the whole country to fight against Huang Taiji. He couldn't help but explain: "I have carefully studied the battles of the northern nomadic tribes of the Central Plains dynasties in the Central Plains. The most successful ones were Hou Huo Qubing, the champion of Emperor Wu of Han, to fight against the Huns in the north, Li Jing, the Duke of Wei during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, to pacify the Turks and the Northern Mongol Yuan during the reign of Emperor Taizu of this dynasty.

Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty had limited troops, so Huo Qubing could only rely on his personal courage to chase the Huns and escape from the distance, but failed to do his best;

Although the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, it did not effectively control the southern desert area, so it later rose and occupied even larger territory than the Tang Dynasty;

Emperor Taizu was very talented and had a great strategy. After eight Northern Expeditions, he finally subdued the Mongolian Yuan tribes. However, I don’t have as much time as Taizu. You should know that Taizu spent more than 20 years on the Northern Expedition.

At that time, the continental countries had not yet risen, and the Ming Dynasty was the only country in the Celestial Empire, so I don’t have to care about that time. But now the continental countries have begun to colonize the world everywhere. If they let them go, they will inevitably be so powerful that even the Ming Dynasty cannot fight. If that time comes, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

Therefore, I must concentrate all my troops to destroy Jiannu in one fell swoop, and place the southern desert area into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, station troops to relieve their worries and strive to face the European powers with all their might!
