Chapter 467: Take Su Song or Huaian for the Moon First
After taking Yangzhou, Zhu Youlang has been thinking carefully whether to fight Huai'an or Susong first.
After thinking about it for a long time, it still couldn't make a decision, so Zhu Youlang summoned Li Dingguo to discuss it together.
Overall, Yangzhou won it relatively easily.
Zhu Youlang wanted to seize the opportunity to unify Nanzhili in one go to prevent future troubles.
After Li Dingguo met, Zhu Youlang immediately pulled him to the map and started chatting.
"King of Jin, I have been worried about whether to attack Huai'an or Su Song next time. Please help me analyze it."
Li Dingguo quickly clasped his fists and said, "That's my fault. From the geographical point of view, Huai'an is in the north of Yangzhou, Changzhou, and Susong is in the south of Yangzhou. Among them, Changzhou is also bordering Zhenjiang, while Susong is bordering Huzhou and Jiaxing. As for the north of Huai'an, Shandong is in the north, if the Qing army from Shandong gives Huai'an support, it is difficult to say the outcome."
Li Dingguo made a big spell, and Zhu Youlang understood it.
He agrees to beat Susong first.
"The King of Jin means that Su Song is surrounded by our army. To the north is Yangzhou, to the west is Yingtian Prefecture, Zhenjiang, and to the south is Huzhou and Jiaxing. Can our army march three times to annihilate it?"
Zhu Youlang said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Dingguo gave a flatterer and said, "And there is Chongming Island to the east of Susong. Therefore, even if the Tartars want to escape on the sea, they will have no chance."
Zhu Youlang thought to himself that this is true.
How could he forget Chongming Island?
Originally, Chongming Island was in the hands of Ma Fengzhi, the admiral of Susong appointed by the Qing court. However, after Ma Fengzhi failed to attack Nanjing, he thought that he could not defend Chongming, so he simply fled to the sea.
Today, Chongming Island is under the control of Zheng Chenggong's navy.
This is really an ambush on all sides rather than a three-sided attack.
"It seems that there is no reason not to hit Susong first."
Zhu Youlang nodded convincingly.
This is really the clear viewer of the authorities.
Zhu Youlang was caught in this problem and could not extricate himself, but Li Dingguo could see the key at once. It seems that Zhu Youlang would be more relaxed in the future and could not be trapped in specific matters for a long time.
"Since that's the case, I will issue an order to order King Zhong to lead some from Zhenjiang, Huzhou, Jiaxing and Chongming to attack Susong, and King Jin led a large army south to attack the barbarian camp."
Zhu Youlang doesn’t like to procrastinate, and he will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop when he has the chance.
Su Song's wealth is a very important point to attract Zhu Youlang. As long as Su Song can be recovered, it means that Zhu Youlang can follow the means in Yangzhou and then get millions of taels of silver.
"I will receive the order!"
Nowadays, Li Dingguo pays more attention to his behavior in front of the emperor.
When the emperor asks, he will answer the first time. But if the emperor doesn't ask, he will never speak out without authorization.
After all, the Ming Dynasty has almost taken over half of Jiangnan, and it is no longer time to be in Yunnan.
Although the emperor was nominal monarch at that time, he had no military force and no money.
Even the food, clothing and expenses in the palace have to be supported by Li Dingguo.
In other words, Li Dingguo did not have the intention to usurp the throne, otherwise he would have taken the emperor's throne in minutes by sending troops to force the palace.
At that time, Li Dingguo would not usurp the throne, and now he will not.
The benevolent and ambitious people in Jiangnan and the anti-Qing righteous men learned that the royal army had recovered many lost lands, and they all rose up excitedly.
Not long ago, nearly ten thousand righteous men from Huizhou Prefecture rose up and attacked the Shexian County Government, killed all the pseudo-Qing magistrates and county magistrates, and restored Huizhou.
When the Kuidong tribes arrived in Huizhou, they found that Huizhou Prefecture was already wearing the Ming Dynasty flag? They were shocked.
The situation in Ningguo Mansion and Guangdezhou is similar. They were not revived by Li Laiheng and others? They were revived by the rebels of the Qing people.
It can be said that the arrival of the King's Army gave many righteous men who supported the Ming Dynasty the courage to spontaneously organize people to fight against the tyranny of the Qing Dynasty.
And this is precisely because of the emperor Zhu Youlang.
This is something that Li Dingguo cannot replace.
Li Dingguo is also very self-aware.
He can't be Cao Cao, nor will he be Sun Kewang? He just wants to be Guo Ziyi of the Ming Dynasty.
It would be great if he could help His Majesty restore the world and finally retire.
Judging from the current situation, it is extremely beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.
The entire south of the Yangtze River, namely, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, were not in the hands of the Ming army.
And this is basically in the hands of the Three Feudalists.
The attitude of the Three Feudatories is very erratic? It is unlikely that they will contribute to the Qing court. If they remain neutral, it would be a good opportunity for the Ming army to recuperate.
The fierce battles of nearly two consecutive years have made the Ming army very tired.
The reason why we can win consecutive battles is entirely due to one breath.
Even if there is a crushing defeat, it is devastating.
Therefore, Li Ding Congress suggested that the emperor rest for a while after taking Nanzhili.
It's not too late to attack after the troops are restored.
Of course, Li Dingguo cannot say these words now, and he must wait until the Ming army recovered Nanzhili.
Otherwise, the Ming army would probably have some ideas from top to bottom.
Li Dingguo himself is a martial arts fanatic? From his perspective, it doesn’t matter how long it takes to fight.
But others can't do it. Let's take a break and then slow down.
ZTE is not in a hurry for the Ming Dynasty.

Nanjing? The prince of the regent Zhu Cixuan received an imperial edict from Yangzhou from the emperor, asking him to order King Zhong Zheng Chenggong to lead his troops to launch an offensive against Su Song and Changzhou from four directions.
Zhu Cixuan did not dare to neglect his order and immediately copied a copy of the order and ordered someone to go to Zhejiang to pass the order.
In addition, Zhu Cixuan also summoned Wen Anzhi and Zhang Huangyan to discuss the resettlement of disaster victims outside Nanjing.
Nowadays, there are more and more disaster victims outside Nanjing City? There are no longer enough areas divided in advance.
The victims spontaneously built shacks, but the cleanliness and hygiene level were not satisfactory.
The plague broke out not long ago in Nanjing, and the imperial court spent a lot of effort to control the epidemic.
Zhu Cixuan naturally does not want the epidemic to repeat again because the disaster victims gathered and did not pay attention to hygiene.
He hopes that Wen Anzhi and Zhang Huangyan can propose some practical solutions to help him handle the resettlement of disaster victims.
"Mr. Wen, Mr. Zhang? I'm going to discuss how to resettle the victims outside Nanjing."
Zhu Cixuan was very respectful, after all, Wen Anzhi was his teacher? Zhang Huangyan was also the Minister of War and a member of the cabinet.
Although he is the prince, he lacks experience in governing the government after all. He needs the assistance of the two.
There is no problem with putting your posture lower.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince? The old minister thinks that the court should allocate some money to build accommodation areas for the victims? And they cannot let them build it at will."
Wen Anzhi took the lead and said: "And the temporary accommodation areas that are built need to be managed? Similar to the city market."
Zhang Huangyan nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Wenge said it well. If you want to completely control this area, you must manage it like the market, implement a curfew at night, and ring the bell during the day to open the building."
