717 The more chaotic the better
The inheritance of the Mongolian Khan throne laid the root of turmoil during the Genghis Khan era. In order to ensure that his own group could occupy the Khan throne forever, Kublai Khan followed the advice of the Han Confucians to establish Zhen Jin as the prince, but he still failed to resolve the conflict between grassland civilization and Central Plains civilization. Instead, it triggered a more intense conflict between tradition and innovation, and ultimately failed to resolve the bloody nature of the passing of the throne.
Zhao Bing was still very happy to see Queen Nanbi's participation in the throne-passing dispute. No matter whether she succeeded or failed, she would cause civil strife. However, he was still very optimistic about Nanbi. The Central Plains also had the young lord who succeeded the throne and the empress dowager was the one who was helpless in the extraordinary times. In Mongolia, this was more like a tradition.
According to the ancient Mongolian custom, as long as they become "Khan"-level figures, they can marry a wife without limit. However, they are nomadic peoples and have no fixed place to live, so they set up "Oerduo" to place them, which means "palace tent" or "concubine tent". However, only the wife and a few important wives can be called "Hadun". Only they can set up "Oerduo", just like the main house, side house, concubine and maid in the Han area.
Since men from the Mongolian Khanate went abroad for many years, the production, life management and even state handling of the Khanate are often held by women, and the empress can be accepted by most people. After the death of the old Khan, the new Khan was not elected before the new Khan, the empress often supervised the state and took charge of the government. This is definitely beneficial to maintaining national stability. However, there is a saying that the hens in the Central Plains are in charge of the morning disaster and chaos in the government, and the empresses in Mongolia are not all good people.
Dahadun Naimazhen of the Khan of Ogedei was the most typical one. She was never satisfied with just controlling the harem, but lived in "Oerduo" and began to abusive power and chaos. She was not lacking in cleverness, but also had the ambition of a jackal and leopard. She used her extremely feminine figure to incite internal struggles in the royal family and slap. Not only did she use the shaman's hand to make Genghis Khan's youngest son Tolei die in an unknown way, but she also wanted to continue to conspire to use the "sequel marriage system" to swallow the Tolei family as a whole.
Although this plan was not realized later, she turned to take advantage of the weakness of Ogedei's Khan's guilt and "drunk in the sea of alcohol" and deliberately indulged her. She destroyed the early achievements of Ogedei's Khan. Queen Nama Zhen finally moved from the backstage to the front stage, and with the support of the stubborn and conservative forces, she ascended the throne of the "country of the Great Mongolian" with her power, took over and acted recklessly, and became the first female protagonist of Empress Lü on the grassland.
The wife of the third generation of Khan, Hai Mihu Da Hadun, was not a good-for-nothing lamp. Gui Yu Da Khan was not only disabled but also had extremely mediocre qualifications. He made enemies with his cousin Badu for his first "the eldest son was in the throne". However, after her husband ascended the throne, Hai Mihu Da Khan used the reputation of "the official history of cleansing and dirty things" to challenge the vassal state of Badu. Fortunately, Gui Yu Da Khan suddenly died halfway, which avoided the successive civil war and division of the Mongolian Khanate. However, Hai Mihu still did not repent, but instead ascended the position of "responsible state" after her mother-in-law.
The one who turned the tide was the dragged widow, Kublai Khan's mother, Soluhetni, who showed her political talent in a scattered manner in the inconspicuous "Oerdo" away from the Khanate. Finally, she formed an alliance with the Badu family and successfully held a "Kulai" aristocratic gathering, making full use of the anger of heaven and people's grievances to completely drive the lost Hadun and her two unhappy sons off the stage of history.
Nai Ma Zhen, Hadun, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, served as the "responder" to take power for eight years and corruption in the country and the chaos in politics. He fought with his son, almost destroying the great cause created by Genghis Khan and causing a great regression in grassland history. The current chaos has been settled, and no matter who can inherit the Khan throne, it will further split within Mongolia. The political struggle between Mongolia and Han is more intense, but it is only beneficial for Zhao Bing...
Zheng Huchen's arrival strengthened the intelligence work and restored the connection between the cemetery and the outside world. Zhao Bing soon learned that the Yidu Wanhu Office stationed in Pingjiang and the Wanhu Office of Yingzhou, the Wuwei Army, had received orders from the Wanhu Office in Hangzhou to come for reinforcements overnight, and was preparing to gather all forces to capture and kill themselves in one battle to completely solve the Qiongzhou problem.
Zhao Bing estimated the itinerary of the two armies. Pingjiang is today's Suzhou, three hundred miles away. If the Yidu army comes by the canal, it will be able to reach it in two days, and only five days by land by land; Wuwei is far away in Luzhou, six hundred miles away. Although it is not far from the Yangtze River, it has to go by water, but it has to go by thousands of miles. Therefore, he judged that the troops of thousands of households in Yingzhou must come by land and march by land for ten days at normal speed, but it is rainy season now, so it is not easy to think about normalcy.
"Your Majesty, the enemy comes to help. Should we annihilate the current ten thousand soldiers in Shangdu first, and then fight against the other two to reduce pressure!" Ni Liang said after hearing the notice.
"I thought it was inappropriate. If we annihilate the ten thousand households of Shangdu in the current stage, the Pingjiang area will find that our army is in reality and will definitely stop and stay in Lin'an. This will be detrimental to our next stage of battle." Lin Zhiwu opposed.
"Although it is reasonable, if three thousand households of the Yuan army gather in this small place, we will lose the land of detour, which is not conducive to the development of the troops. We will be in danger of being trapped here!" Ni Liang nodded and shook his head again.
"Hiss, Ni Dutong's words also make sense. The enemy only needs to block Gukou and send troops to garrison, and we have to turn the defense into an offensive, which has indeed increased the consumption and difficulty of our troops!" Lin Zhiwu took a cold breath and said, "I will be frightened, and the enemy will be scared away. It will be difficult for us to catch them again. But when the enemy goes south, it will be difficult for them to eat them in one bite!"
"What about that?" Zhao Bing asked again as they looked thoughtful.
"I would like to ask your Majesty for your advice!" Lin Zhiwu said with a wry smile.
"Don't stick to your eyes. You must know that we are going to fight a big battle this time, and we must look at the entire southeast and even the entire south of the Yangtze River!" Zhao Bing smiled and said, "The enemy's reinforcements came, but the distance is different and the time required is also different. We can first concentrate on fighting one route, and then mobilize troops to fight the other route. Do you think it is feasible?"
"Your Majesty's intention is to lure the enemy of the Wanhu Yidu here first and annihilate them first. But my subordinates are worried that once the enemy of the Wanhu Yingzhou will stop and even turn back the same way after learning the news." Lin Zhiwu frowned and said.
"What do you think you should do?" Zhao Bing nodded, but turned to ask Ni Liang.
"Your Majesty, I think that after annihilation of Shangdu and Yidu two divisions, our troops can switch to attack Shaoxing and Dong Yicheng will attack Liujiagang. If it goes well, you can switch from the Taicang River to the canal to capture Pingjiang. Upwards can threaten Jiankang, and downwards with our army to form a threat to Lin'an. If there is no troops to adjust in Hangzhou, the Yingzhou army will be unable to retreat, so we can only divert the way to help Lin'an. We can wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy during its march." Ni Liang pointed to the map and said.
"Yeah, it's not bad!" Zhao Bing nodded in praise.
"It's a pity that Dong Yicheng's troops only have one brigade of marines. If they have sufficient troops, we can take it together with Jiankang, so that Jiangdong will become the object of Your Majesty!" Ni Liang said with a frown.
"Oh, tell me, what if there is enough troops?" Zhao Bing said in surprise. He didn't expect that this stupid guy could think about things.
"Your Majesty, if I have one or two divisions, I will go to attack Liujiagang to drive out the Zhending Wanhu troops stationed in Jiankang, and then take advantage of the fierce battle between the two armies and send troops to attack Jiankang. If you still have the strength, go up the river and capture Jiangzhou and Ezhou, peek at Xiangfan, and then use the Yangtze River as a defense to confront the enemy and manage the land of Jiangdong!" Ni Liang pointed at the map and said one by one.
"Hey, I understand!" Before Zhao Bing could speak, Lin Zhiwu interrupted.
"What do you understand again?" Ni Liang turned his face and looked at Lin Zhi's martial arts.
"Commander Ni, Your Majesty has probably known your thoughts for a long time. Don't forget that there are still five divisions led by the Left Prime Minister behind us who are waiting for the opportunity to move, and there are still five divisions in Qiongzhou that have not moved!" Lin Zhiwu stretched out his hand and said with his hands.
"Hmph, Your Majesty has a long time ago, but he has used it to make fun of us!" Ni Liang snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction.
"Haha..." Zhao Bing laughed without getting angry after hearing this. Only Ni Liang in the court dared to be so 'unty' with him. Now he felt even more relieved, which shows that Ni Liang, a stupid man, has finally gotten enlightened and has a general who can trust and be the only one.
The plan was decided, Zhao Bing ordered Zheng Huchen to send people to closely monitor the movements of the Yidu and Yingzhou armies, and let the operation team sneak into Lin'an. At the same time, he sent an order to Dong Yicheng to attack Liujiagang, wait for an opportunity to seize the stored grain, and then turn to Taihu Lake, threatening Pingjiang. He ordered Lu Xiufu to lead the army north to enter the Yangtze River along the river estuary to capture Jiankang. In addition, Wen Tianxiang, Chen Zeweng and Gao Yingsong raised the matters and led the army to recover the prefectures and counties, and develop northward.
On this side, Zhao Bing ordered Ni Liang to launch a small-scale attack on the Shangdu Army, which had entered the valley, to make him feel the pressure, and thus force the Yidu and Yingzhou armies to speed up their aid, so as to quickly end the war here, adjust the direction of the battle, prepare for the capture of Lin'an, and strive to complete the strategic goals before the Yuan court resumes normal operation and gain a foothold in Jiangdong.
Zhao Bing's seemingly messy old fist seemed to have violated its original intention, but in fact it also had a secret. In terms of planning, Zhao Bing thought of Rommel's opening of the African battlefield during World War II. He was facing the British army that had been operating in Africa for a long time, and was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength and equipment. However, he not only quickly gained a foothold, but also almost drove the British army out of Africa, which was not unrelated to his skilled tactical use.
Rommel flexibly used the tactical method of division during the attack, and always took a large-scale attack and divided the British army. This move was designed specifically for his peers. You should know that war is one of the oldest professions of mankind, and there are top students in all countries. Even if there is not, those who command the army are well versed in military principles. And those who are a little familiar with military knowledge know that in combat, the first thing is to avoid being cut off and the second is to avoid being exposed on the flanks.
Rommel had only one armored regiment, plus two Italian divisions, and his combat power was negligible. Even if he was surrounded, he might not have the capital to win. In fact, even the ammunition and gasoline for combat may not be enough. Although he also used the tactic of division of troops to attack, he always acted as a stance to threaten the British flanks and try to cut off the British backbone. The eastern and western armies have almost this common problem in fighting, and once the flanks are exposed, they will retreat.
What Rommel needs is the British commander who understands principles like this "bricks" who are old-fashioned and rote books. If it weren't for the "bricks" who were commanders and ordered the troops to fight to the death, Rommel would not be able to handle. But it would be easy to deal with when he met his fellow "bricks". They would retreat after feeling unsafe, without a deep analysis of how much firepower the German army has, what is the purpose of the German offensive battle, and whether they can win a battle with them.
So Rommel could eat the scattered and left behind small pieces during the British retreat, and even if he didn't get it, he could seize a large amount of supplies he urgently needed. It was with this hand that he deceived the British army again and again, and kept making large-scale attacks, causing the British army to retreat hundreds of miles. So Rommel won the nickname "Fox of the Desert", and the fox is a master of cheating, and Zhao Bing now wants to be a fox...
After receiving the orders from the province and Wanhu Mansion, Liu Guojie of Yidu immediately rectified the troops and marched south, but the information he received was extremely limited. He only knew that the little emperor of the Song army led his troops to protect the tomb after learning that the imperial tomb had been stolen and excavated. Not only did he capture Yang Lianzhenjia, the chief religious general of the Khan, the Khan's confidant, Jiangnan, the General Manager of Religion of Jiangnan, but also fought with heavy casualties and was unable to launch an attack.
Liu Guojie was amazed at the fact that the remnant Emperor Song dared to go deep into the heartland of the Yuan court alone, but he was not surprised to have suffered a great loss against the Dujun. You must know that he had participated in the Battle of Yashan. When he was victorious, it was the little emperor who personally led the army to overturn the market. Not only did he defeat them, but even the Dujun Zhang Hongfan died of a disaster. He just escaped by luck. The sharp firearm of the Song army left an indelible impression on him.
Of course, Liu Guojie wanted to avenge the revenge of the past, but he was still sober and knew that the Song army could win one after another and gain a foothold in Qiongzhou, relying on sharp firearms and the warlike naval army. In this way, the little emperor came to protect the tomb for thousands of miles, which must be inseparable from the cooperation of the naval army, but there would definitely not be too many troops on the land, otherwise the Shangdu army would not be able to survive today and would still occupy the valley entrance.
