I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 87 Sending troops to Kuwu Island?
"After Jiannu Sanbeile Mang Gurtai succeeded to the Great Khan, he ascended the throne on the eighth day of last month and proclaimed himself Emperor. Alliance.

Horqin, Chahar, Tumed, Ordos, Yongshao, Buryat, and wild Jurchen tribes profusely congratulated Manggurtai and formed a new alliance.

Even some princes and nobles from Tsarist Russia, Japan, and Korea quietly joined the alliance..."

Listening to Cao Wenzhao's report, Zhu Youjian's face gradually became ugly.

Little Ice Age, global cooling.

In extreme climates, severe cold, severe drought, locust plagues, floods, earthquakes, followed by plague...Da Ming's life was very difficult.

The life of the northern slaves, northern barbarians, and Tsarist Russians was actually even more difficult.

According to the secret report of Jinyiwei, a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock were frozen to death in Horqin, Ordos, Tumed, etc., and many small tribes were annihilated...

At the same time, the Ussuri River Basin to the east of Heishui is covered with ice and snow all the year round. In the former natural hunting grounds, wild beasts began to freeze and starve to death on a large scale. Many tribes of savage Jurchens could not survive and began to gradually migrate south.

And it was Tsarist Russia that alerted Zhu Youjian the most.

"What's the situation on Phi Island guarded by Mao Wenlong?" Zhu Youjian asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, what the last general reported is related to General Mao's Phi Island." Cao Wenzhao said, "It seems that General Mao and Sun Chengzong are not in harmony.

The conflict between the two is mainly due to the different tactics.

General Mao was guarding Phi Island. He was almost alone and helpless all these years, and the food and salaries transported by sea were not enough at all. Therefore, he allowed his subordinates to attack everywhere, harassing the slave camp while occupying the mountain as king, and his life was good;

On the other hand, Marshal Sun Chengzong advocated to fight steadily and step by step, and did not give Jiannu iron cavalry any chance to break through..."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhu Youjian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

In the original script, Yuan Chonghuan falsely preached the imperial decree to trap and kill Mao Wenlong. There are various theories in the records of later generations, which is puzzling.

Unexpectedly, the crux of the problem actually lies here.

The tactics are different, but it is only a superficial phenomenon.

No one can replace Mao Wenlong's role of guarding Pidao and restraining Jiannu cavalry from going south to attack Shanhaiguan. Therefore, he became the first "nail household" that Jiannu wanted to get rid of quickly.

So, those poor three generations of Liaoxi generals jumped out...

Yuan Chonghuan is just a pig-killing knife being used by others.

The idiot emperor Zhu Youjian sighed secretly, and murderous intent was already in his heart: "Liaoxi general... Haha! '

Those people hold Daming's food and salary in their left hand, and gold, silver and jewelry from the pig's tail of Jiannu in their right hand, as well as the promises of various high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

In the final analysis, it is still a word:

The Ming Dynasty was so poor!
The so-called different methods of warfare, one is fighting positional warfare, the other is fighting guerrilla warfare, when the contradictions cannot be reconciled, Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan... All kinds of theories are quite suspicious.

The problem is, he can't say such words directly as an emperor.

Because, isn’t this Cao Wenzhao also one of the poor three generations of Liaoxi generals...

"There are not many Jiannu cavalry, but because they are flexible and especially good at field battles, Sun Chengzong's defensive strategy is actually good." Zhu Youjian pondered a few times and continued:
"The threat and harm of Mao Wenlong's guerrilla warfare to Jiannu should not be underestimated."

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "Then, let's fight each other. As long as you can kill those pigtails, it doesn't matter what kind of fighting method they use."

Cao Wenzhao: "..."

The emperor of our Ming Dynasty has a big heart.

The relationship between the frontline commander and the general soldier is almost at odds, and His Majesty the Emperor actually downplayed it and asked them to fight their own way?

"Your Majesty, the way to use troops is to work in unison..." Cao Wenzhao hesitated to speak, his face flushed red.

It is not impossible to teach the emperor the art of war.

The problem is, he is a small guerrilla, he is not even considered a general, and at most he only commanded two or three thousand troops, so why should he teach the emperor the art of war?
In addition, this emperor seems to know nothing about the art of war, so it's useless to talk about it!
"It doesn't matter, the Phi Island guarded by Mao Wenlong is at the weak point of the Jiannu people, if you blindly stick to the rules and fight against them, you will suffer a loss sooner or later.

You have to know that those Jian slaves pay no less attention to firearms than our Daming, and even, judging from their desperate and frantic purchase of new firearms for more than half a year, they should start to attack Pidao. "

Zhu Youjian thought about it, reached out and rang the bell in the cabin.

After a dozen or so breaths, Hong Niangzi pushed open the hatch and walked in.

"Hongliu has seen the Lord Long Live." The red lady turned to salute, but Zhu Youjian stretched out her hand to stop her.

"You send a letter to Mr. Cao, asking Zheng Zhilong to arrange a batch of warships and send Cao Wenzhao to the front line of Kuwu Island." Zhu Youjian took out a map from his sleeve and spread it on the table, "Cao Wenzhao, you also come here have a look."

Cao Wenzhao stepped forward, only took one look, and was stunned.

"Your Majesty... is this going to go around Jiannu from the sea?" Cao Guerrilla was a little confused about the emperor's 'strategic intention', so he could only roughly guess that it should be to put a knife behind Jiannu.

"It can be said that," Zhu Youjian leaned over to observe the map, and said casually, "However, it can also be said that the belly button of Tsarist Russia will be stabbed with a knife."

Cao Wenzhao: "..."

Liaodong has changed, don't want to defend the slave cavalry, and go to war with Tsarist Russia?
"Your Majesty, is this going to war with Tsarist Russia?" Cao Wenzhao said thoughtfully, "I never noticed before that the location of Kuwu Island is so terrible..."

Zhu Youjian laughed, straightened up, reached out and patted Cao Wenzhao on the shoulder, and said, "I'm not asking you to go to war with the Russian old man, but I'm sending you to Kuwu Island to build a military base."

"Of course, if Lao Maozi, Jian Nu or even the Japanese pirates show their flaws, you might as well stab them a few times."

"In this way, the crisis of Phi Island can be resolved."

Cao Wenzhao nodded silently, feeling that the emperor's words were indeed reasonable, and meant to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

However, going to Kuwu Island... Dare to go to those broken ships of the Ming Dynasty?
The pirate ships of the Japanese pirates, the pirate ships of the Spanish and Portuguese, plus the warships of Jiannu in the barbarian Jurchen area, if they encountered any fleet at random, they would probably have to be chased and beaten.

After the Ming Dynasty entered the Yongle Dynasty, the warships became smaller and smaller, and their combat power naturally became weaker and weaker. The so-called Great Ming Navy went out to sea, and even those stronger pirate fleets could not beat them.

"Your Majesty, the final general will go to Kuwu Island. The main goal is...to establish a military base?" Cao Wenzhao asked.

Cao Wenzhao is still a little confused about the "strategic intention" of the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian.

"I will make you the Marquis of Liaodong, and I will give you five hundred elite soldiers, two iron-clad warships, and one thousand students from the Daming Academy.

After you first go to Kuwu Island to build a port and camp, I will successively give you [-] to [-] people, dozens of ships of food, and [-] scholars. "

Zhu Youjian slowly sketched on the map with one finger, and said casually: "When you arrive at Kuwu Island, don't think about fighting and killing all day long, but learn to treat guests to dinner, and let their patriarchs, leaders, and even all of them fall away." people enjoy a good life;

By the way, I have prepared a big gift, you can bring it over and defeat it...cough, give it away as you like.

Cao Wenzhao, you are a hero, this is not enough, far from enough.

As a Lord Marquis, you will be violent at every turn, which shows that you are still a low-level player, and all my painstaking efforts were wasted.

When you go to Kuwu Island, you must first learn to engage in infrastructure construction and production, learn to treat guests to dinner, and learn to defeat others without fighting. Only in this way can you be worthy of the three characters of Liaodonghou, understand? "

Cao Wenzhao nodded.

Soon, he shook his head vigorously again, with a dazed look on his face.

This task...is outrageous.

Two boats, plus [-] elite soldiers, and [-] helpless students, are all the possessions of Cao Wenzhao, the "lord"?

Does this make him poke Jiannu in the ass?Isn't this going to die in vain?
This emperor is not a human being!
