Chapter 260: Discussion on North Korea’s Strategy

Everyone was surprised by the emperor's ambition and wanted to aid Korea for a second time. Liu Yanyuan even said he could stop him. Yang Jing made him a little patient and asked Sun Chengzong to finish his words. It would not be too late to oppose it again.

"Master Sun, just give me a detailed explanation for the Qing family. If you have any questions, you can also ask Master Sun directly." Yang Jie said to Sun Chengzong.

"I obey the order." Sun Chengzong agreed.

Sun Chengzong also picked up a stick and pointed to the Korean Peninsula and said, "Everyone, this is North Korea, this is Seoul. Now, North Korea has been forced to surrender by Donggu. It is said that there are only a few hundred soldiers stationed there in this Seoul. Therefore, Sun thought that thousands of elite soldiers could be sent to take sea boats and cross the sea to Seoul, North Korea, and directly attack the Donggu who was entrenched in Seoul..." Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong's stick went east from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, crossed the sea from Tianjin Wei, and arrived at Dongjiang Town. He drew a few circles on the top of Dongjiang Town, and then the stick head was along the coast of North Korea and went straight to Seoul. It was a genius idea, a cross-sea attack in the 17th century...

The few people next to them were dizzy. This idea was beyond their expectations at such a long distance. I was afraid of walking on land for several months. They thought that the emperor was going to open up the land passage between Jinning and North Korea. Where did they know that the emperor would use a ship directly! If this is the case, it is really interesting to aid Korea.

"...There were about five or six thousand people across the sea. First, they used ships to transport people from Tianjin Wei to Pi Island, rest on Pi Island for a few days, and then concentrated the ships to transport people to Seoul at one time. Thousands of elite soldiers, carrying artillery, besieging the city from all sides, and hundreds of Eastern Capitol soldiers. How to defend? Therefore, North Korea will definitely go down in one go..." Sun Chengzong explained his plan with a smile.

Everyone looked at Sun Chengzong in surprise, and their eyes followed Sun Chengzong's stick head. What a genius idea! Why did he never come here and never expected that he could lead directly to Seoul, North Korea? Looking at Sun Chengzong's time, he went from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the capital of North Korea in less than a month, and he rested on Pi Island for a few days.

Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War, has done a lot of homework recently and has some impression of North Korea. Although Sun Chengzong said it very well, he still had a grudge against the aid of North Korea. The main reason was that the last time he aided Korea, the Ming Dynasty suffered too much loss, so he was preparing to fight with Sun Chengzong. He asked: "Sir Sun, I want to ask, there is no problem for thousands of people to fight hundreds of people, but if the Donglu gets news and sends tens of thousands of people back to attack North Korea, wouldn't these thousands die?" Liu Yanyuan was very puzzled. After hearing Liu Yanyuan's words, everyone also thought it was a problem. There was no suspense for thousands of elite people to fight hundreds of people. However, once the Donglu came to his senses, he sent troops to attack North Korea. Isn't this a waste of fighting?

"...Haha, Lord Liu, this matter is simple. In this attack, Sun planned to set off in early October and stay in Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town for a few days, and then suddenly attacked Seoul, North Korea in early November. How can the Donglu guard against this? It is already the cold winter month, and the road between North Korea and Donglu has long been blocked by heavy snow. If it is done smoothly, by next year, the Donglu will still say whether he knows the news. Even if he knows the news, he will not be able to come to North Korea immediately..." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

The few people next to him changed from the expression of confusion just now to the admiration of Sun Chengzong.

Liu Yanyuan did not expect that Sun Chengzong used the bad weather in winter to block the Dongliu. If this is the case, it would be possible. However, after thinking about it, he said: "Mr. Sun, even if he can conquer North Korea, will the Dongliu not come back in the second year? Thousands of people are still dangerous! If the Dongliu does not come, then it will definitely be tens of thousands! How can thousands of people resist? Isn't it a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? Is it a thousand elite in my dynasty for nothing?" Liu Yanyuan was preparing to fight with Sun Chengzong. In his impression, fighting in North Korea is burning money! But, the court now has money? Even if it is rich, it is better to go to rescue disasters.

After hearing Liu Yanyuan's words, everyone felt that Liu Yanyuan was right. Even if he didn't come this year, it didn't mean he would not come next year. This news will always be leaked. When the Donglu came, it would be tens of thousands. Wouldn't this North Korea be beaten in vain? He looked at Sun Chengzong in confusion and saw how he explained it.

"...Mr. Liu, it would be even better if the Donglu wants to come to court. If the Donglu is coming, it means that the Donglu wants to advance westward is basically impossible. This is exactly the goal of our dynasty. To drag the Donglu in Korea, haha... As for those thousands of people, if the Donglu is coming, if the Donglu is in great force, you can take it away immediately. Why fear the Donglu? The Donglu has no ship, can the horse still go into the water?" Sun Chengzong had already been confident about this plan. Now, no matter what others say, he can refute the other party to nothing.

"Mr. Sun, in this way, will North Korea fall into the hands of the Eastern Captains again? Aren't our country busy in vain? What's more, if the Eastern Captains enter North Korea again, will North Korea be harmed by the Eastern Captains again? They are tortured?" Liu Yanyuan had another question.

Everyone also thought that Liu Yanyuan was asking on behalf of them. North Korea wanted to fight again. Isn’t it a mess? His admiration for Sun Chengzong just now became doubtful again.

"Haha, Lord Liu, don't you think this is a good way to hold the Donglu? Next year, the Donglu will send troops to North Korea, and other places will definitely not have the energy to send troops. Isn't this what our dynasty asks? By the end of next year, if the Donglu has few people stationed in North Korea, our dynasty can learn the first time and cross the sea to attack Seoul once again. In the third year, wouldn't the Donglu have to send troops to North Korea again? This simple battle can make the Donglu unable to stop, and can only run back and forth, exhausted... As for North Korea's death

The issue of the problem of vicious hands is all intentional. How many people have died for North Korea? Whether North Korea is suffering or being destroyed, it is better to be more miserable than our country. Will the East Envoys go west and enter the pass and knock on the pass?" Sun Chengzong has changed now, different from before. He would never have had such an idea. Maybe it was influenced by Yang's reform. He also felt that the battlefield was in Korea and North Korea was better than its own family. Once the border wall was passed, the capital was the capital, and the emperor was here. The impact of letting the East Envoys go to the pass was really bad.

Liu Yanyuan had nothing to say about this. He, the Minister of War, would never please him, and he would still be good at stepping down, so he could only be speechless.

After hearing Sun Chengzong's explanation, everyone looked like this. Sun Chengzong is indeed a veteran! He is beautiful in his work. He is full of admiration for Sun Chengzong.

Liu Yanyuan still didn't give up, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Sun, Liu thought that there were loopholes in using North Korea to hold the East Gate. I thought that if no one stopped the East Gate, wouldn't it be easy for the East Gate to go to Seoul again? In this case, it may enter North Korea in February and go back in May. In this way, the East Gate still has the ability to advance westward! In Liu's opinion, if we want to drag the East Gate to North Korea, our North Gate will inevitably fight directly with the East Gate. If our North Gate directly fights with the East Gate, the loss will definitely be quite large!"

Liu Yanyuan's words made some sense, and everyone stood on Liu Yanyuan's side again to see what Sun Chengzong said.

"...Mr. Liu said it makes sense. Sun's meaning is that our dynasty should not participate in the war directly. Instead, our dynasty sold grenades to North Korea, and helped the North Koreans train how to use grenades to resist the Donglu, so that North Korea can use the advantages of the city wall to continuously consume the Donglu. Sun thought that it might not be realistic for the Koreans to fight the Donglu in the field, but people standing on the city wall, relying on the city wall, throwing grenades down and killing the Donglu. Even women and children can still do this. Lord Liu, I don't know what you think about this?" Sun Chengzong continued to talk about his plan.

"...This..., this really seems to be possible..." Liu Yanyuan, as the Minister of War, still knows about grenades and has visited how grenades fight. When he thinks of the bloody scene and the scene of pigs and lamb legs flying around, he feels disgusted.

"Since that's the case, there are 30,000 Dongliu people who invaded the North Korea. To the maximum extent, ten grenades can destroy one Dongliu. Only 300,000 grenades can eliminate the Dongliu who invaded the North Korea. Where can I find such a cheap matter? What do you think?" Sun Chengzong looked at the people present with a smile.

This was the first time that several people knew that the account could be calculated like this. When they heard that Sun Chengzong was preparing to use grenades to consume the Donglu, and used ten grenades to destroy a soldier, everyone was stunned! They were even more surprised than just hearing that the emperor wanted to reopen the Korean battlefield! Sun Chengzong was indeed extraordinary! His old boss was so powerful! He was cruel and looked at Sun Chengzong with admiration.

Liu Yanyuan was a little stupid now. It turned out that Sun Chengzong was making this idea. This idea was even worse than his idea of ​​using food to replace human heads! You also killed one person with ten grenades. What would it look like if ten grenades flew down? Do you think I have never seen it before! Liu Yanyuan remembered the scene at that time again and was about to vomit again.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think this strategy is great. If you want to say that the combat effectiveness of the Koreans is not on the same level as that of the Donglu. Even the elite of our dynasty will only be tied with the Donglu. However, if you stand on the top of the city and click a grenade and throw it down, this is really okay for both women and children. You can kill the Donglu elite without any effort. In this way, it is really much easier for North Korea to defend against the Donglu! If the Donglu goes to North Korea and attack Seoul, each city will gradually be captured. When the Donglu arrives in Seoul, you will be afraid that the casualties will be severe. The city walls of Seoul are more common.

It is much taller and used grenades to further consume the Donglu in Seoul. It is impossible for the Donglu to seize the city in fear. Maybe the Donglu would be too serious, so the Donglu would have to retreat by himself!" Yuan Chonghuan was also surprised by Sun Chengzong's idea, admired Sun Chengzong's mind, and praised this plan. This plan was really wonderful. In the future, he was also preparing to use grenades to help defend the city. Therefore, he was very concerned about the use of grenades to defend. He was preparing to find time in the future to ask the emperor for more grenades.

This time, everyone was standing on Sun Chengzong's side. If this plan really was to follow what Sun Chengzong said, sell grenades to North Korea, and then teach the North Koreans to use it. If the Donglu wants to capture North Korea at a cheap price, it is really not that easy! If the Donglu loses a lot in North Korea, the Ming Dynasty will not have time to laugh.

Liu Yanyuan was about to pick some tricks, but he was not convinced by Sun Chengzong. No matter what, Sun Chengzong's idea was really good and gave people a refreshing feeling. Liu Yanyuan felt that since he was already the one who picked tricks, he would pick some tricks.

"Liu thought that Lord Sun might have overestimated the resistance of the North Koreans. Once the Donglu was furious and ashamed by the grenade, he threatened the massacre of the city, and was afraid that the North Koreans would surrender one after another after not long. Also, I heard that the North Korean walls are quite short, just a little higher in Seoul, and some walls can even be reached with bare hands." Liu Yanyuan picked another thorn.

Everyone thought that Liu Yanyuan's words were reasonable. According to many old soldiers who went to the Korean battlefield, the Koreans were indeed corrupt, and the city wall was indeed impossible to compare with those of the Ming Dynasty, and they all looked at Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Sun also thought about this matter. Sun thought that the Dongliu from his nest to North Korea is a long way to go. He can send troops to harass the food route along the way, or send elite troops to attack the Dongliu's retreat. Our dynasty has sea boats, and can log in at any place along the coast of North Korea. The Dongliu attacks Seoul to go south. Along the way, he will definitely send troops to protect the retreat route and protect the grain transport route. Therefore, the elite troops of our dynasty can continue to take advantage of the Dongliu when he goes south.

The way to harass the Donglu's retreat and the food route. If the Donglu sends a small number of people to rescue him, it can be eaten. If the Donglu sends a large number of people to rescue him, our court will retreat. If our court has the benefits of a sea boat, we can retreat to the sea at any time. The Donglu has no ship, so we can only stare at him. If you dare to approach the coast, the ships and cannons will be bombarded... When the Donglu leaves, our court will return to the ashore and continue to harass his retreat and the food route..." Sun Chengzong told his guerrilla war.

Everyone was really shocked this time! The dignified imperial teacher Sun Chengzong also used such despicable means. Is this still Sun Chengzong?

Liu Yanyuan was speechless. Sun Chengzong also learned to be foolish. After thinking about it, he smiled angrily: "Haha, Lord Sun, as an imperial teacher, how can you learn this kind of rogue tactic? This tactic is like Mao Wenlong and Mao often use it. When did Lord Sun fall into the same virtue as Mao Wenlong? Haha, this is not what Lord Sun did!"

Sun Chengzong said indifferently: "So what? As long as you can win, reduce the casualties of our soldiers, and as long as you can drag the Donglu to North Korea, Sun will be satisfied. Even if this tactic is despicable, what if you are despicable? Are you willing to Donglu to enter the pass and knock on the throne?"

Liu Yanyuan's face was flushed by Sun Chengzong's words. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor guarded the border. Once he entered the border wall, the capital was the capital, and the capital was the capital. Once the enemy defeated the capital, the world would be shocked. The consequence... Liu Yanyuan lost completely in this arena.

Facing Sun Chengzong's indifference, everyone had nothing to say. Since even Sun Chengzong himself didn't care, what else should we outsiders worry about? Man Gui and Zhao Rujiao were even more grateful to Sun Chengzong. They were always inferior to others. Now someone looked up to him, so he was naturally grateful.

Liu Yanyuan is completely speechless now. He used this despicable trick and grenade to hit the Donglu. The Donglu would be skinless even if he did not die in North Korea. Even if the Ming Dynasty lost on the Korean battlefield this year, it would be enough for the Donglu to drink a pot next year. Liu Yanyuan also sighed that this good man has also begun to learn bad things now! Sun Chengzong, who was originally a good person, has learned Mao Wenlong now. What kind of virtue is that Mao Wenlong?

Yang Jie stood aside alone, watching Sun Chengzong discussing North Korea's strategy with everyone, and found it interesting. Seeing that everyone seemed to have a result, he smiled and said, "Haha, my dear friends, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say." Liu Yanyuan was the first to stand up. He really had nothing to say. In his opinion, although this matter was not done openly enough, he could not criticize Sun Chengzong. If the Eastern Captains entered the pass, he would be the first to be unlucky.

"I believe that this strategy is great, and I have inspired it. I think that if the Korean battlefield restrains the Eastern Captains, the Eastern Captains will definitely be distracted, and the Eastern Captains will definitely slow down. This is a great thing." Yuan Chonghuan particularly praised this kind of thing. The direct consequence of this matter was that the pressure on his Jinning defense line was greatly reduced.

"Your Majesty, I think this method is very good. If Your Majesty had not asked me to clean up the Mongolians, I would have wanted to do this..." Man Gui looked envious. Man Gui thought this way of teasing the Donglu must be very interesting. He could also try the feeling of fighting across the sea. Man Gui never thought that it would be possible to fight like this. He was very curious about this strange tactic.

"Haha, don't think about this matter, just do your cleaning of Mongolia in advance." Yang Jing rejected Man Gui with a smile. Such a thing is actually just a trivial matter, and its importance is far less important than cleaning up Mongolia. Organizing the Imperial Army.

"I believe that this strategy is the best way to delay the time of the Eastern Captains' advance westward, and it is also the only choice to eliminate the strength of the Eastern Captains." Zhao Ruijiao was the truth. He liked this kind of thing because those who served in the army liked to do things such as few casualties and severe casualties in the enemy.

Yang Jie was very satisfied and looked at Sun Chengzong again.

Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, I think that when implementing this policy, you should also pay attention to the situation where the Donglu wants to stop. You cannot give up North Korea when you feel hopeless, and you cannot make the Donglu progress too quickly. The mastery of this strength is very important, and an experienced person needs to take charge..."

Yang Jie was curious. Isn’t Sun Chengzong wanting to go to the Korean battlefield by himself? If Sun Chengzong also left, his right-hand man would be gone, which would obviously not work.

"Haha, Master Sun, this matter is still early, let's talk about it later..."
Chapter completed!
