Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued to order: "Send an order to Wanyan Cheng, let him take three thousand cavalry behind the army to search for the eldest prince."

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen realize that his son had grown up—a teenager in his teens, who was still busy with puppy love and playing truant from school.

It is said that the folks love the eldest grandson and the youngest son, but in fact, why is it not the case in the royal family?

Moreover, the eldest son of the emperor naturally had no possibility of inheriting the throne, which made Emperor Chongzhen vaguely want to make up for this child more.

As a result, he got used to something wrong—just ten years old, he learned to run away from home!

……

After shaking his head and putting aside these troubles, Emperor Chongzhen once again turned his attention to the civil and military ministers in the tent.

In the original plan, it was a good thing for Myanmar to be included, but they would not be in such a hurry to accept it all. At least there must be a time for the transition to allow Myanmar to fully integrate into Ming Dynasty.

But Cromwell's words completely disrupted Talong's plan, and also completely disrupted Emperor Chongzhen's plan, causing Daming and Mughal to fight ahead of time—Emperor Chongzhen would not admit that he had been looking forward to it for a long time. It's the day!

After calming down his furious mood, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Now tell me, what should we do next?"

Nan Juyi directly bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, together with Admiral Zheng of the South China Sea Fleet, we have taken over Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Goa. All the coastal defenses in the Bang area were attacked again.

Now the coastal defenses in these places are useless, and I, Ming Dynasty, can just send guards to land in these places and take them into my pocket in one fell swoop.

After that, you can rely on these states as a springboard to advance northward step by step, and then join forces with the army on the Burmese side, and then attack the entire Mughals. "

Zheng Zhilong also opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think what Admiral Nan said is true. As long as this piece of land is captured, it will be able to form a horn with Myanmar. If Odisha is taken down, the army can be divided into three groups. Divide into a joint attack and go straight to Agra."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard the word split into joint attack, he felt a ball of sadness.

How did Salhu fail?The most fundamental reason lies in the four words "separation, advance and joint strike"!

Let alone satellites these days, there is not even a radio, nor are there wired telephones. It is basically a nonsense thing to want a proportionally distributed army to convey military orders.

It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the generals are outside, and the emperor's orders are not accepted-not on the front line, without access to the latest military intelligence, any order may be random.

As for the tricks and tricks written in the books of the literati, it is purely an outbreak of Wenqing disease and must be cured!

In "Sun Tzu's Art of War", it has been clearly pointed out that soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who win due to changes in the enemy are called gods.

A lot of literati who don't even know the terrain of the battlefield just worked out this formation and that formation, and then told the generals how to fight—you are so awesome, why don't you where?

Now the routine proposed by Zheng Zhilong is actually the same.

It is not a problem to divide the troops into three groups. There are a total of 50 killers who came to Mughal to make military exploits this time, basically mobilizing a quarter of Ming's troops. Lu can also reach 17 people.

In terms of the strength and firepower of 17 troops per route, Emperor Chongzhen already had enough confidence to anger Mughal.

After all, the firecrackers, artillery and other equipment brought by these 50 people are basically enough to cover every inch of Mughal land.

However, the unreliability of dividing and attacking is that the three armies have no way to support each other. Even if they don't need support, the three armies have no way to coordinate and divide labor among each other.

For example, according to Zheng Zhilong, the army on the west road is the army that took down the southernmost Mughals in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and the army on the middle road is the one that took down Odisha. As for the army on the east road , is the way from Burma to send troops.

The question is, where is Tamil Nadu?Where is Odisha?Where is Myanmar?

Let's not talk about him in Assam, even if they are dishonest, it's nothing to worry about. If they can survive the army's attack for a month without destroying the country, even if their ancestors' graves are buried well!

However, judging from the map, starting from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh and heading south until Tamil Nadu, these places are like a big island sticking out, and Odisha is in Andhra Pradesh. northeast of Labang.

In this case, the consequence of dividing the army into three groups is that Odisha will become the first region to be taken, and by the time the western army advances to Andhra Pradesh, the central army may have already advanced The hinterland of the Mughals will probably be near Galinger, and at the last and last time they will have to take down those states on the Gundwana side.

And if all goes well, the East Army will probably advance to Bihar, and probably reach Hajipur.

So here comes the question, the distance between the Central Route Army and the East Route Army is not too far, and it is easier to support each other. What about the West Route Army?

If you push forward all the way regardless of casualties and supplies, it is actually possible. At least it is not a big problem to advance to Sarangpur or Raisen, and you can also support each other with the central army.

However, the key issue is that it is not easy to say how many hidden dangers will be left behind by advancing steadily all the way.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen directly denied this strategy of splitting up and attacking together - splitting up can be done, but there is no need for a combined attack.

In other words, it’s okay to divide the troops into three groups, but each fights its own way, and it’s enough to take care of yourself. As long as you keep your head down and push forward, you will be able to pile up the entire Mughal sooner or later.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The South China Sea Fleet, in addition to the Southern Imperial Forest Guards, will deploy another [-] Beijing Battalions, and Qian Guogong will deploy another ten guards that are good at mountain warfare, plus those pirates. Commanded by Zheng Aiqing, take Kerala and Karnataka for me.

The East China Sea Fleet will be transferred to the Northern Imperial Forest Guard, and another [-] Beijing Battalion will be transferred, and the white soldiers will be transferred together. They will be dispatched by Nan Aiqing, and Bizhen will take Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

After these places are captured, the two love ministers will guard these sea areas for me, and the land operations will be led by the northern and southern guards respectively.

The Southern Imperial Forest Guard and its troops still headed north, heading straight for Bijapur, while the Northern Imperial Forest Guard and its troops advanced northeastward, heading straight for Gaokangda, and finally joined forces at Bidar, and then continued to advance northwest of the entire Mughals. . "

After Zheng Zhilong and Nan Juyi bowed to accept the order together, Emperor Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The most troublesome part of the entire Mughal War was the situation on the west side.

Because from Kashiqibang to the northwest, you can slowly enter a place name often heard by Emperor Chongzhen - the Imperial Cemetery, where the hairy bear who suppressed the first generation was folded here.

Of course, there are many reasons for the bear to be broken. For example, the eagle sauce gave out silver, the rabbit gave out light weapons, and the cemetery sent out people, and finally they jointly buried the bear.

However, Emperor Chongzhen, who was timid and afraid of death, was also extremely worried whether this place would become the cemetery of Daming—after all, the existence of those boom!

However, after thinking about it again, Emperor Chongzhen slowly let go of his mind.

I want boom these days!The cost is very high, first of all because of the issue of gunpowder, and secondly, unlike later generations who are always concerned with human rights, now all rights are decided by Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen said that you are an individual, so congratulations, you can have a Daming household registration and can bully barbarians who do not have a Daming household registration at will.

If Emperor Chongzhen said that you are a barbarian, then I'm sorry, no one in the dead street will care, at least the government of Ming Dynasty will not care.

Therefore, the pirates like Li Zizi came in handy.

The pirates can capture these people arbitrarily, and then sell them to the imperial court at a price of five taels of silver, and then the imperial court will arrange these "labourers" to work on the railway road and work on the railway construction.

No one will accuse Li Zizi and the others. If someone accuses pirates who are stronger than Li Zizi and the others, then go talk to the South China Sea Fleet. Their strength is higher.

After figuring out the map for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen was planning to study how to arrange the Central Route Army. The little eunuch who had been guarding the door pushed open the tent door and knelt down and said, "I want to report to the Emperor, Cheng Guogong and British Bulletin."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, but when he looked up, he couldn't see the shadow of the messenger, so he settled down in his heart, and said casually: "Bring the messenger in, just to hear some good news."

Only when it is good news, the messenger will wait outside the big tent to deliver it.

If it was bad news that the battle situation was unfavorable, the messenger sent by Zhu Chunchen would also be Hong Ling's urgent report, and it would have come in directly without the little eunuch's transmission.

It was just that after the messenger came in, he gave a military salute, and then said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Guogong and the British government have secret reports to be handed over to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, and motioned Wang Chengen to receive the secret report, and asked while unpacking it, "Is the trip to Assam going well?"

The messenger said: "Return to Your Majesty, everything went well on this trip. The king of Assamur Shan Kingdom is weak, and he brought a large army to Manipur before fighting. He has found the remnants of the former Tang Dynasty."
