1009 Sending troops to Dongwu
When the Tang King saw it, he was a little anxious. For him, this matter was to suppress the future of the Tang Prince's Mansion and the savings of the Tang Prince's Mansion over the past few hundred years. If he failed, he would lose all his money. In other words, the court could bear failure, but he could not bear failure!
Seeing Min Hongxue taking a sip and putting the teacup on the table, he couldn't help but say with a little anxiety again: "Min Ge Master, you have to be careful of this!"
After hearing this, Min Hongxue saw that he was very anxious and understood his anxiety, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, some of the chieftains have colluded with Dongwu, this is a sure thing..."
Hearing that he was so sure, King Tang was so anxious that he couldn't wait for him to finish his words, so he couldn't help but interrupt, frowned and said with anxiety: "What should I do? What should I do?"
"Your Highness, there is no need to panic about this matter!" Min Hongxue had to comfort him and said, "The emperor has a decree. For the matter of "Your Highness to set down Dongwu and divide the ceasing, you can only succeed and not fail! Regarding this, your Highness, please rest assured!"
Speaking of this, he saw that the King of Tang's face looked a little better, and continued: "Whether it was the news from the emperor or the news we sent back from the detailed works, the Talong King of Dongwu is a character and is not so easy to deal with. Now he is trying to rest and consolidate his rule. Regarding this, the longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial the rule will be! It is also because of this that the emperor will agree to Your Highness's request, and allow you to lead troops to the expedition before the subsequent army has been trained!"
The soldiers, weapons, materials, etc. of this army were all paid by the King of Tang, and belonged to the army that founded the country in Dongwu after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the supreme commander of this army was the King of Tang, which was why the King of Tang could arm the army as much as possible and allocate enough supplies. Therefore, the King of Tang had a great say in this army. It was precisely because he had a great say that it just proved that the emperor and the court had a trust in the court, and indeed wanted to help him build the country in Dongwu and complete the feudal overseas move.
Min Hongxue is actually a little unfavorable to the ability of the King of Tang. After all, not every young man has the ability of the emperor. Over the past year since he came into contact with the King of Tang, Min Hongxue felt that the King of Tang was a little eager for quick success and was not calm enough in his temperament. Of course, this also has something to do with his age and experience.
At this time, Min Hongxue said slowly again: "Togo's strength cannot be underestimated. Since they can unify the entire Togo and drive the Western barbarian army out of their territory, all the situations show that this time Togo's battle to destroy the country must be cautious and careful!"
"Yes, yes, Master Ge is right!" When the Tang King heard this, he nodded in agreement. Min Hongxue's attitude made him very satisfied. However, he was worried about what happened before, so he thought about asking what solution was there?
But before he could ask, Min Hongxue was already saying: "Therefore, the first phase of our battle is to occupy Meng Yang, Meng Mi and Mubang with lightning speed, and then defend and wait for attack to consume Dongwu's strength. When the subsequent military training is completed, the flintlock rifle and other heavy military weapons are equipped, then look for an opportunity to fight with Dongwu's main force, and aim to occupy the grain-producing land Awa. The third phase is to occupy the entire Dongwu. Your Highness has no objection to this plan, right?"
This was the result that the emperor had just obtained after discussing with several parties in the chat group. The King of Tang also participated, so he naturally knew. He understood that he didn't understand these things very well. Since he had discussed this, it would definitely be OK. At this time, he heard Min Hongxue mention it, and then nodded and responded: "Of course there is no objection! But, Master, you must pay attention to what you are worried about!"
When Min Hongxue heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I have already told you the solution!"
When the Tang King heard this, he was very surprised. After thinking for a while, he suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Does it mean that it is impossible to cover up the lightning?"
"Yes!" Min Hongxue heard this and nodded, "I have already stated in the military discussion that the chieftains will obey the order within half a month and will not delay. This does not mean that we will send troops again in half a month! Tomorrow morning, your highness's army will be divided into two armies, one army will directly take Mubang and then attack Mengmi, and the other army will take Mengyang, so that they will be united first. Then let the chieftain army assist."
Speaking of this, he explained to the King of Tang: "Although these chieftains have colluded with Dongwo, they are mostly worried that Dongwo will invade their land, and they are not sincerely aiming at Dongwo. As long as the army of Your Highness can take these places in time, even if these chieftains have colluded with Dongwo before, they will never be able to do so in the future."
The King of Tang unconsciously let go of his eyebrows, and was a little overjoyed. He didn't expect that the difficult thing he thought was indeed a solution for the understatement of the matter. He rubbed his hands hard and said repeatedly: "No, not bad, it should be like this!"
Seeing him like this, Min Hongxue reminded again: "Your Highness, when Duobu doubts his troops this time, he asked Dongwu to go to the Ming Dynasty. After occupying Mubang and other places, even if the stalemate continues, if King Long feels that the imperial army is large, he must have a large army to deal with it. This will help consume Dongwu's national strength and reduce resistance for Your Highness's next plan!"
When he heard another real plan, King Tang was even more happy and nodded repeatedly. After discussing for a while, he couldn't help but say goodbye and went to the military camp to check the food and supplies.
Min Hongxue sent King Tang out of his mansion and looked at his departure back, and was a little worried.
In the past, the emperor decided not for Dongwu's strategy. But after he was ready, the court would announce the feudal kings' feudal overseas national policy, and then take a few Dongwu's crimes and swear to go to war.
But later, when news from all sides came, and found that it could not be delayed, it could only be carried out in advance. It could not affect the feudal and overseas national policies of the vassal kings, so it simply carried out secretly. When the battle was sure, it would not be too late to announce the high-profile.
Of course, the leadership of the Tang King does not mean that the Tang King will command the war. Many of his generals were drawn from local garrisons. The leadership ability of several important generals was at least recognized by Min Hongxue. Those who are familiar with Donggo in the local area will command the war, at least on the tactical level, don't have to worry too much.
As planned, the Tang King's army quietly set off early the next morning and began to carry out the first phase of the battle.
A few days later, in Hanlong Pass, the King of Tang stood on the top of the city, looking down at the five thousand soldiers standing below, feeling quite excited. The vassal king led the troops, and over the years of the Ming Dynasty, it was finally realized in his own hands!
It is not the wish of Taizu's descendants to be killed. A man should be a real man, just like learning from Taizu, and establishing a country and establishing a career is the true nature of a man, and he is worthy of Taizu's descendants. The King of Tang thought in his heart, and felt a sense of anger in his heart. He really wanted to whistle to the sky. I, Zhu Youjian, will definitely live up to this opportunity and must knock down Dongwu!
Thinking of this, he said loudly: "You were mostly victims of disasters before, and they were fleeing people. It was the orphan that gave you the opportunity to survive and support your home. Now, it is the time for you to repay your orphans, and it is also the time for you to take revenge!"
The victims and fugitives in Yunnan, especially those in the southwest, were mostly caused by the military disasters caused by Dongwu's invasion, so the King of Tang said this. When he heard him say this, although he knew that his army was going to dig Dongwu, these soldiers were still very excited. Most of them were people near the Yunnan border, so they naturally knew about Dongwu's affairs. In the past, the imperial court could defeat tens of thousands of Dongwu's army by a general led by five hundred soldiers. Now there are five thousand troops, which is a great hope!
Thinking of this, some people knew the details, turned their eyes to the front general. He was Fu Yuman, the son of Fu Guochun, who defeated tens of thousands of Dongwu's army by just leading five hundred soldiers. I believe that with him, he will definitely win this time.
The King of Tang watched the movements of the soldiers below on the city, and naturally followed the trend to look at the middle-aged general. He wanted to kill Togo, so he naturally had an understanding of Togo's past. When he knew the court's previous achievements, he immediately wanted to ask the general who had won Togo's past to come out. Anyway, with the support of the emperor, he had enough wealth and honor in his hands. I believe he could invite the people out of the mountain.
However, he did not expect that the Ming general who fought the Dongwu army in a panic escaped was either transferred to the northern border and died in the battle with Jianlu, or he was already old. Fu Guochun was still there, but he was just an old man with limited mobility. Fortunately, they all have descendants, and I believe that these descendants should be able to do it under the guidance of their elders.
After thinking about this for a while, the King of Tang immediately took back his thoughts and shouted to the soldiers below: "I will give you this opportunity to avenge you. As long as we do not surrender, all the men will be killed, the women will be you, and the wealth you have captured will also belong to you! Your wealth is in your own hands, and how you want to live in the future depends on your own performance!"
Hearing this, the soldiers under the city immediately roared loudly: "Kill... Kill... Kill..."
Seeing that the morale was available, the Tang King felt a little satisfied. The war against Togo must not fail. What are those women’s money? As long as they can defeat Togo, there will be some in the future!
Thinking of this, he looked at the sky and gave an order, the army set out and attacked Mubang. Of course, he would not set out with the army. Even if he was willing, Emperor Chongzhen would not be willing. If the war failed and the Tang King died on the battlefield, it would definitely be a blow to the feudal and overseas affairs of the vassal kings. Emperor Chongzhen would not allow this situation to occur.
Therefore, the Jinyiwei Captain next to the King of Tang was always following the King of Tang to guard the King of Tang. At the same time, he was in charge of the King of Tang and did not allow him to do what he shouldn't have done.
"Your Highness, I am leaving too!" A thin and black man beside the King of Tang bowed and bowed to him and bowed.
After hearing this, the King of Tang nodded to him and said, "You are from Mubang, and you are most familiar with the terrain of Mubang. You work hard for me. In the future, Mubang will still hand over Mubang to you for governance."
The person in front of him was also a member of the chat group, Mubang native Baden-Tingding. He was overjoyed when he heard the sound, and hurriedly thanked him, and then turned around and prepared to go to the top of the city to follow the army.
"Remember, report more information, Gu Hege Gong and His Majesty are paying attention." The King of Tang was excited and reminded him again.
After hearing this, Badending had to turn around and make a promise again before leaving in a hurry.
The King of Tang walked to the outside of Hanlong Pass, looked at the army that was walking out one after another, and looked up at the distant mountains and forests, and was speechless for a long time.
At this time, Mubang was originally a vast area with sparsely populated areas, mostly forested. After the war between Togo and Ming Kingdom, the people's livelihood in this place was even more withered. In many places, there were no people, but there were several abandoned villages. Most of the population was concentrated in several cities, among which Mubang was the most. Therefore, the headquarters of the generals stationed in Togo was in Mubang.
"Sir, there is a lot of movement in the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid there will be some intentions against us, so I have to be careful!" A middle-aged man dressed in a literary man sincerely advised a bearded man holding a beautiful concubine and drinking and having fun.
The bearded man ignored him and happily drank the wine from the woman in his arms. When the middle-aged man saw it, he had a hint of worry on his eyebrows, and had to aggravate his voice and reminded him again.
After drinking a sip of wine, the bearded man finally became a little impatient. He turned to look at the middle-aged man and shouted loudly: "You Chinese people like to fight in the nest. They either guard against this or plot against that all day long. I will ask you to help me, so that you can implement Your Highness's will and achieve good results, so that I can speak well in Your Highness. Do you understand?"
King Talong's new policy had already begun to be implemented at this time, and it changed the practice of military military force in the previous dynasty. Therefore, the assessment of various places also changed from military affairs to civil affairs. This Mubang guard general was not good at governance, so he chose a scholar from the Han prisoners to be his master, which was easy to use.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face looked a little embarrassed, but he immediately disappeared, and the replacement was still worried. He listened to him and continued to persuade him with great sincerity: "Sir, the news sent back from the Ming Dynasty is really a bit worrying. What kind of soldiers are being trained? The adults may not know, but the villain is very clear that the Ming Dynasty has no money. If it is nothing, he will definitely not waste money and food to train soldiers. Now that he is training troops, and it has been almost a year since he has been trained, he has been trained by the former governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. This combat power cannot be underestimated! Besides, in this area, besides me, Dongwu, the villain cannot think of who would use troops against?"
"Haha, Mingguo is no longer possible!" The bearded man couldn't help but sarcastically, "Mubang has been occupied by me, Dongwu for so long. Has he fart? He just sent an envoy at the beginning and wanted to move his mouth and take Mubang back. Over the years, have there been other actions?"
