337, Zhu Cilong persuaded the Duke, the Ming army was ready to go
Zhu Cixuan looked at the British Duke, and the two sides exchanged their gazes.
Zhu Cixuan pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Sure enough, someone can see it."
The British Duke followed Zhu Cixuan's footsteps and said as he walked: "At this point, if someone still can't see the importance of Your Highness, you are to the Ming Dynasty, then this person is definitely a fool."
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
British justice: "If the old minister was the commander of Jiannu, after learning that His Highness was alone in Mongolia, the old minister would choose to work with Tatar Mongolia to destroy His Highness's army first."
Zhu Cixuan asked back, "Then Liaodong doesn't want it?"
Britain’s justice: “Liaodong is of course necessary, but it’s enough to keep a Shenyang. As long as you can ensure that Shenyang is not lost before destroying Your Highness’s troops, it will be no difficulty for Jiannu to recover even if there are many cities left.”
This is what the British Duke was worried about. In his opinion, Dorgon had a high probability of ignoring the British Duke's troops from Liaodong and chose to march into the south of the desert to kill Zhu Cixuan!
The British prince volunteered: "Otherwise, let the old minister attack Tatar Mongolia. Your Highness, please stay in Shanhaiguan."
In the view of the British Duke, if the two commanders of the commanders switched directions, Dorgon would inevitably focus most of his energy on Shanhaiguan, and the British Duke could also calmly deal with Tatar Mongolia.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Cixuan suddenly spoke: "Duke of England, do you think if you send troops, you will definitely be able to defeat Tatar Mongolia?"
The British Duke was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said: "The old minister dare not say much, but he is 70% sure."
Zhu Cixuan said: "Why is there 30%?"
British justice: "Because the old ministers were worried that they would not be able to find the main force of the Mongols."
Zhu Ciyang laughed: "Yes, this is the problem. In the past few years of the Ming Dynasty, why did the progress often go bad when fighting with Mongolia? Isn't it because I couldn't find the main force of the Mongolians?"
Not to mention anything else, even when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were ruled, the Ming army suffered great defeats when conquering Mongolia.
This is not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the most troublesome problem of the Central Plains dynasties when fighting with the northern nomadic peoples in history.
Nomadism, as the name suggests, means wandering and grazing on the grassland. But this grassland is so vast from the west to the east, how can we find it?
During the Han Dynasty, Li Guang, a famous flying general, was a lost king. He often got lost when he was fighting the Huns, and finally made a joke that "Li Guang is difficult to seal".
The problem that Li Guang could not solve back then was still difficult for the current British Duke.
The British Duke sighed and said, "Please rest assured that the old minister will do his best to find it."
Zhu Cilang shook his head slightly and said, "I know that the British Guild does its best, but what I must say is that if I go this time, I will definitely find the main force of the Tatars."
"Ah?" The British Duke was stunned again: "Your Highness means..."
Zhu Cilang said seriously: "I can tell you very responsibly that the Duke of England. Only when I go in person can I ensure that the main position of the Tatars can be found. This is why I insist."
Duke of England: "…"
The British Duke actually wanted to question it, but looking at Zhu Cilang's expression, he suddenly believed Zhu Cilang's words again.
In such a major decision, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not lie.
British justice: "Your Highness, then we can actually study a more secure plan, and there is no need to take such risks."
Zhu Ciyang laughed and reached out to pat the British duke on the shoulder: "My good duke, war is not a joke. The Ming Dynasty's current strength is not completely crushing Jiannu and Tatars. Where can we get a safe plan?"
"Believe in me, I am not a tired person. Is this so eager to run into the grassland to send people to Dorgon? Let go of your heart and prepare for the next big battle."
Looking at the British Duke's departure, Zhu Cilang also breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s really impossible to say something like the system, and no one believes it.
Just now, the system has issued a new task to Zhu Cixuan.
"Please find the tents of the Tatar Chahar tribe and the Korchin tribe within one year and destroy these two tents."
While getting the task, Zhu Cilang also had two coordinates in his mind. Obviously, this is the location of the two tribes.
Even if Zhu Cilang tells the British Duke these two coordinates, it is useless, because after the beginning of spring, the two major tribes will inevitably continue to be nomadic.
The distance from Beijing City to these two coordinates is at least twenty days. In twenty days, they have already run hundreds or thousands of miles on the grassland, and they can't find it at all.
"Anyway, this time I can only do it myself." Zhu Cilang said to himself, and a trace of splendor flashed in his eyes.
The Mongolian border troubles that have plagued the northern border of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years is time to solve them.
When the Mongols went south to conquer the Song Dynasty and became the ruler of Chinese civilization.
It’s time for the Ming Dynasty to go north to allow the Mongols to integrate into the Chinese civilization again!
With the close cooperation of the Duke of England, the entire military subordinates quickly took shape.
According to the plan proposed by the Ministry of War, this time, Zhu Cilang led a total of 45,000 cavalry including 25,000 musketeers and 20,000 Qinghai Heshuo Special Surrender Army to head north to attack the Tatar Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert.
On the other hand, the British Duke led 100,000 Ming troops to guard Shanhaiguan, and guard against the Qing Dynasty.
Once the Qing Dynasty showed signs of redirecting its troops to encircle Zhu Cilang, the British Duke would immediately lead his army to attack Liaodong and force the main force of the Qing Dynasty back, which would be favorable for Zhu Cilang to destroy the Tatar tribes.
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction to express his approval when he listened to this plan.
"Very good, so please follow this plan. I heard that the Mongols like to use the captives' heads to make wine glasses to drink, so I will naturally not be as savage as them, but if there are indeed a few Chahar and Korqin's heads here at this moment next year, I will be very happy."
When the ministers heard this, they laughed at the same time.
Zhu Cilang bowed to Chongzhen and said seriously: "Please rest assured, let alone a few heads, I will get a Jingguan for my father and put it on, so that the Ming soldiers and civilians in the capital will boost morale!"
