"What Wang Qing said is reasonable, but we must actually occupy Jiaozhi, making Jiaozhi the food base of our Ming Dynasty and an important base for controlling Western routes. In other words, whether it is Modengyong's surrender or not, it is the plan of the people of the Ming Dynasty, he and Ruan Gan and other Jiaozhi native lords must be eliminated!"

Zhu Houzhao said something at this time, which also laid the tone.

The officials involved in the court debate were also hawkish officials who came on horseback to govern the army and dismounted the people. They only paid attention to how to maximize national interests and did not care about the so-called reputation.

Therefore, the officials in the court also understood and accepted Zhu Houzhao's meaning, knowing that the Ming Dynasty is now different from the previous dynasties, and it is impossible to be self-sufficient. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not find a way to plunder the outside world, the domestic problems of the rich and the poor will intensify and chaos will occur.

Gui E, the Minister of War, stood up at this time:

"Your Majesty, I believe that if Mo Dengyong in Jiaozhi is as Wang Ge Lao said, please surrender to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty can take this opportunity to ask Mo Dengyong's army to be reorganized by the court, and his officials under him will be trained and appointed by the court, and his territory must be managed by the court's dispatched officials. As for the government's troops, the court can inform Ruan Gan about the surrender of Mo Dengyong and force him to surrender. If Ruan Gan refuses, launch a large army to attack again!"

Lin Tingxun, who had been the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, couldn't help but take the conversation: "Your Majesty, I think Mo Dengyong will not be willing to be a free minister of the Ming Dynasty as Guibutang said. If you want to take advantage of it, you will definitely cut off your life. You will inevitably have a sword and war against Jiaozhi."

"What Mr. Lin said is reasonable, and I also believe that swords and weapons are inevitable. I have three strategies for the top, middle and lower levels, which can be used for reference by Your Majesty and the people in the court." Wang Shouren also took over the conversation at this time.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Shouren to tell the three strategies of the upper, middle and lower. Although the Ming Dynasty attacked Jiaozhi was basically like a tiger eating sheep, there was no suspense in the victory or defeat, it was naturally the best to be able to pay the least price to recover Jiaozhi.

In this life, Wang Shouren did not suffer serious physical damage because he was demoted to Long Chu, so his physical condition was not as fast as in history because he was poked and then ate to Long Chu, and he died before he reached his sixties.

However, in this life, Wang Shouren was still able to stand in the court and provide advice for Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Now even if it involves the strategic matter of regaining Jiaozhi, Zhu Houzhao found that it would be much easier to deal with Wang Shouren in the court.

Wang Shouren said at this time: "According to the order, I think the best strategy is to agree to the Ruan family and send troops to attack the Mo family, but ask the Ruan family to allow our royal army to land in Qinghua, and to attack the Mo family from the south. At the same time, if the Mo family asks to surrender, he will also accept the surrender of the Mo family, and in the name of suppressing the rebellion of the Ruan family, he asks the Mo family to allow the royal army to use the Mo family's territory to take the opportunity to destroy the Mo family with the northern army and the southern army."

"Zhongce, even if the Mo family refused to surrender, the court still asked the Ruan family to allow the royal army to land in Qinghua, and from both north and south, first destroy the Mo family and then the Ruan family."

"The worst strategy is that if the Ruan family refuses to use the Ming Dynasty, whether the Mo family surrenders or not, they must first destroy the Ruan family and then destroy the Mo family. Because the land of Jiaozhi is a mountainous area in the north and a plain in the south, it is naturally easier to attack Jiaozhi from the south!"

After Wang Shouren said that, Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile. He couldn't help but believe more that Wang Shouren was an outstanding military adviser who could consider all changes very clearly and foresee the future, because he was familiar with history and knew that Mo would definitely surrender.

"My dear summary is comprehensive. I think the Mo family will definitely surrender, so it is time to see if the Ruan family is willing to borrow the Ming Dynasty. However, no matter whether the Ruan family is willing to refuse, our Ming army must land in Qinghua, the important city in southern Jiaozhi. It would be fine if the Ruan family agreed to borrow the road. If they do not agree, they will directly occupy the important city in Qinghua and find an opportunity to destroy the Ruan family!"

Zhu Houzhao made the final decision. Although the court officials present said, "Your Majesty is wise!", they didn't understand why His Majesty was confident that Mo would definitely surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Even Wang Shouren didn't understand why His Majesty was more confident than him, but he had to admit that although His Majesty was younger than him and was prone to impulsive in doing things. On the surface, he seemed very reckless and careless, but he seemed to know the world five hundred years before him and could always predict the opportunity.

Therefore, Wang Shouren did not question Zhu Houzhao at this time.

The envoy sent by the Ruan tribe left the capital with the Ming Emperor asking the Ruan tribe to agree to let the Ming army land in Qinghua and falsely destroy the Mo family.

And at the same time.

The General Staff of the Guards also took Zhu Houzhao's will to gather troops to Qinghua immediately and went to Guangzhou Prefecture.

anyway.

The basic strategy of the Ming Dynasty to recover Jiaozhi has been established, and next is the specific combat issues of the front-line troops.

During this period.

Zhu Houzhao also asked the Daming Stock Exchange to issue war bonds to gather capital to start the war.

Because in order to occupy Goa, the Ming Dynasty issued such bonds, and it also made the people who had eaten the crab for the first time make a lot of money, and even created many millionaires among the people.

Now, the Ming Dynasty discovered national bonds again because of the war, and the people were still rushing to invest money in the Ming army. The reason was no different. Everyone believed in the strength of the Ming Guards. After all, they saw the army running on the cement roads every day on the main road with their own eyes, so naturally they could see that the Ming Dynasty would win in a fight.

At this time, the people of the Ming Empire obviously had confidence in the Ming Empire.

The army of the Ming Dynasty also received a lot of financial support. Of course, the support behind these financial support is also the support of the people.

The people also invested in wars and paid more attention to the wars of the empire than ever before. It seemed that nationalism had risen a lot, which was even better than brainwashing education. Especially some selfish middle and upper classes, they didn't care about national justice, but now they invested in wars because they also believed in the strength of the imperial team, which made them pay more attention to the wars that the Ming Dynasty was about to launch than ordinary people.

"It is not a move that benefits the country and the people, and the killing should not happen in our China!"

The great scholar Bai Songyi criticized the martial arts strategy of the dynasty in Yuelu Academy, but after the speech, he would hand over the Shu Fengyin he received to his servants, saying: "Immediately go to Wuchang Prefecture to buy a national bond. There are more and more troops from Changsha to the Biao area. Everyone can see that the possibility of Annan becoming Jiaozhi this time is less than ten or ninety percent!"

"Master, my family members wrote to me. The uncle invested all 50,000 silver dollars in the mansion, saying that you just waited for you to recover Jiaozhi for the court and let him earn about 100,000 yuan. It would be more than a scramble to take down the latest batch of second-sell steam mining machines produced by the Royal Industrial Company!"

Even Mao Bowen, the commander of the Northern Army of the Guards in Wuzhou, received a letter from his family. For a moment, it increased his pressure a lot. He knew that he could not take it lightly to lead his troops to attack Jiaozhi this time, otherwise he would not only lose money from the court's troops, horses, and grain, but also his own money.

Because of this, Mao Bowen had to put down his figure and ordered his deputy general: "Go and call the Xing named Yu!"

Seeing this, Mao Bowen's deputy general couldn't help but wonder: "Master, Yu Dayou's Xing has always had a bad temper, and no one dares to contradict him. Don't you hate him very much, and even call him out of the central army? Why do you want to see him again today?"

"What can I do? The officials of the court are really worthy of being old foxes. The ideas they came up with are really vicious. Now this battle must be won. Not only must they win but also have to be fought well. Otherwise, it will be not only the court, but also the one who loses. Although the surname Yu Na Xing has a bad temper, his analysis of the situation of the war is stronger than the staff of the military headquarters. What Xing said the day before yesterday is no different from the Junichi edict issued by the General Staff of the Guards!"

As Mao Bowen said, he threw the document in his hand onto the case: "This Yu Dayou is young and far away in Wuzhou, but he is the same as the emperor above and the elders of the Wangge. You said he is amazing! Next, how to fight, it is good to ask him first!"

Mao Bowen said that, and then waved his hand: "Forget it, this guy has a stubborn temper. I ignored military law and forced him to beat him with military sticks. He probably still hates me, the head coach. I will go to see him in person and bring the good wine that Qin Jin, the governor of Huguang a while ago!"

Mao Bowen's deputy general was very surprised and wondered when the coach's temper would be so good that he could still tolerate Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou still used the telescope used for the marching to observe the terrain in Wuzhou, and used the actual terrain of Wuzhou and the military maps published by the Ministry of War to confirm the accuracy of the military map surveyed by the Hubei corpses in Jiaozhi.

"Zhifu, you asked the military coupon bank to help deal with bond investment business) to help buy coupons. Before the battle started, the price of war coupons outside had increased several times. Even if the court does not visit, brothers will be afraid of fighting monkeys. Tell me when the battle will start. I really want to wait for the battle to be finished earlier, so that I can exchange it for real silver dollars as soon as possible, so that your sister-in-law can be married home!"

Yu Dayou's former classmate and now graduated from the Hunter Land Warfare Department, Lu Tong, participated in the war to recover Jiaozhi this time, first experienced the land war jungle battle, but this also allowed him to fight side by side with Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou was not angry because Lu Tong was younger than him but deliberately acted as his elder brother. He just stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body. He stomped the thick-soled military mountain leather boots on the ground, and began to unbutton his waistband, and said while swearing:

"What are you doing to buy coupons? I, Yu Dayou, joined the army, not to make money, but I can't fight this battle in the north for a while. I guess our army still has to stay in Guangxi for a while, but you will be transferred. According to Yu, the court will probably fight this fox and land warfare department from the south this time."

"Why did the imperial court send hundreds of thousands of troops to gather in the southwest? Did the ancestors of the Zhuang tribe be called the gang in the Ming Dynasty and sing a mountain song with the wolf. The wolf soldiers are more famous)?"

Lu Tong said a word and pointed to a girl looking at this place in the rice fields in front of him: "Look, that girl is very smart and suitable for being my brother and sister!"

Yu Dayou lifted his pants and kicked Lu Tong onto the land that was soaked by himself: "The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth. Can't you tell who is the brother or who is the brother?"

"Don't think that you are invincible in the Shaolin Temple. I'm afraid of you, look at your legs!"

As Lu Tong said that, he fisted and rushed straight to Yu Dayou's temple. Yu Dayou sideways and avoids it. Just as he is about to attack Lu Tong's chest with his elbow, he hears a mountain song. Yu Dayou can't help but take it back. Lu Tong, who is empty, looks at a gangster who is walking towards him.

The gangster pointed at Yu Dayou and said to an old gangster: "Father, I want him!"

"What's the point of being a Han soldier? There's Kuang among our wolf soldiers," said the old man.

The long, watery man said coquettishly: "I want him," and then blushed: "Because he is big!"

Lu Tong laughed out loud at this time.

Yu Dayou didn't know what was going on, thinking that these were wolf soldiers transferred by order, so he bowed and said, "Yu Dayou, a hundred households of the 4th Infantry Division of the Third Army of the Guards, has met two, but I wonder if they are two?"

As soon as Yu Dayou finished speaking, a commander came to the horse: "Lu Tong, General has an order, so you will immediately lead your headquarters to Qinzhou to board a ship to Xiangshan!"

Lu Tong couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that Yu Dayou's words had come true.

At this time, another voice of "The Grand Marshal arrived" came, and Yu Dayou couldn't help but frowned, thinking: "This guy must have bought war coupons too!"

After Yu Dayou came to Mao Bowen, he found that Mao Bowen really wanted to analyze the situation of the war by himself, and he also saw that Mao Bowen wanted to fight the war more beautifully and earn more money.

Yu Dayou told Mao Bowen about his analysis of the battle, knowing that the court would land in Qinghua in the south.

certainly.

Yu Dayou's analysis undoubtedly coincides with the decisions of Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren and others in the court.

A nation has outstanding talents in any aspect in any era, and governing the world can naturally make it useful for capable ministers and good generals. In troubled times, it often allows capable ministers and good generals to die unjustly or die in sand.

Yu Dayou is undoubtedly a general in the Ming Dynasty, which has been proven by history.

but.

Now, except for Zhu Houzhao and Mao Bowen, no one knows that Yu Dayou will become a general.

Even Yu Dayou himself would not know that he would become a general in the future, nor even that His Majesty the Emperor had begun to pay attention to him.

Zhu Houzhao did set up an archive, and although he did not tell others directly, he was indeed secretly observing these talents who performed outstandingly in their original history.

Zhu Houzhao believed that even if he, a time traveler, could change history and make this society change, it would not be able to conceal these heroes' value in the Ming Dynasty like today.

Maybe there will be no Japanese riots in this era, but this does not mean that Yu Dayou will not become a famous general.

"After landing land land forces are needed to be invested in the south, and we cannot rely solely on the fox land warriors. When we think about whether we can draw troops from the Third Army of the Guards and the First Division and other troops on the northern front, we will also transport them to the south through the fox transport ship!"

Zhu Houzhao knew that Yu Dayou was in the First Division of the Guards, so he naturally wanted to see Yu Dayou's performance on the battlefield in advance, so he thought about increasing the army's strength on the southern front and transferring Yu Dayou first.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao spoke, but the Privy Council dared not refuse to obey.

However, Yu Dayou was not happy after receiving this order, and said bitterly: "What should I do? I'm seasick!"

But no matter what, even Mao Bowen could not say anything from the central government's orders, let alone Yu Dayou, he could only obey military orders.

In any case, the Southern Line Corps of the Ming Dynasty had begun to gradually gather in Yazhou. Regardless of whether the Ruan tribe of Jiaozhi agreed to let the Ming Dynasty land in Qinghua and use the conquest mode, the Southern Line Corps would advance from Yazhou to Qinghua.

War is not a fight, it does whatever you want. Even if an accidental war conflict wants to lead to a war, there will be a gradual process ranging from months to years. Now, it has been almost ten years since the Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty proposed to recover Jiaozhi and now officially deploy troops to establish a strategy. Even if it is established and the first shot is officially fired after the strategy is established, it will take some time. After all, the troops are not moved before the food and grass are taken first, and logistics and the tactical command of the front commander will take time.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao also did one thing, which was the decision of the commander of the Southern Line Corps. The Northern Line was Mao Bowen, a veteran who had rich experience in fighting in the southern mountains, and the Southern Line Corps was good at aviation operations. Zhu Houzhao still asked Wang Hong to be the commander.

After all, Wang Hong was a famous naval warrior who defeated the invasion of Western colonists several times. Although he was a civil servant system, it was naturally safer to use Wang Hong. After all, Wang Hong, who was most familiar with the Nanyang area, from the deputy envoy to the governor, was the most familiar with Wang Hong, who was in Guangdong and Guangxi.

After Zhu Houzhao established the commander of the Southern Corps, he considered the issue of unified coordination between the north and south lines, so he asked Wang Shouren to take up the position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, supervising the Nanyang Army, and unified the coordinated command of the north and south lines of the regaining Jiaozhi. He even asked Wang Shouren to handle the matter of full authority, and could deal with it first and then report to the central government.

This is also impossible, because although the Ming Dynasty has made great strides into the steam era, it has not yet entered the information age and has not even radio waves. Due to geographical isolation, it is difficult for Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, to remotely control the north and south lines beyond a distance of more than 5,000 kilometers.

Under such circumstances, in order to improve the efficiency of war command, Zhu Houzhao could only delegate power.

Moreover, when Wang Shouren went to the south, he had to fully trust Wang Shouren. He could neither change his commander casually nor command over the level. History has proved that even if he is a military god, command over the level is likely to have problems. He could not learn from Chang Kaishen.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao now simply relaxed, didn't worry about anything, and just waited for the outcome of the war. If the result was good, he would naturally be rewarded according to his merits. If the result was not good, he should be held accountable. Now he only did what he liked to do.

Zhu Houzhao is in this state of being a so-called half-day free life. He decided to do something he wanted to do in his heart. For him, a time traveler, the most regrettable thing is naturally that there is no Internet, no movies, TV and other videos, and no various electrical and intelligent equipment that can make people comfortable.

Although I lived in the 21st century in my previous life, because of my poverty, he did not really have time to enjoy many so-called things, or the ability to enjoy them.

Now, he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and is fully capable and qualified to have the best in the world, including women. However, he cannot have some things from later generations, which is a pity for Zhu Houzhao.
