Valley Emperor

Li Xuan, both before and now, does not have much confidence in which step the Tang Dynasty can take in the future. Although he often dreams of drinking horses on the Qinhuai River and entering the Forbidden City, in fact, he has never had much confidence. Confidence can get this far.

According to his own inference, it is possible for his Datang Dynasty to occupy several prefectures and counties in a short period of time, and even expand its scope of activities to several provinces within a few years.

But he felt that this kind of expansion would be short-lived. Before the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to it and gathered national forces to encircle and suppress it, his Datang Dynasty would have more room for activities, but it was only during this period of time that it would be able to do something big.

Waiting for the Ming Dynasty to really pay attention, the activity space of the Tang Dynasty is bound to be severely compressed. At that time, it is unlikely that the Tang Dynasty wants to be a bandit like Li Zicheng.

Because the Datang New Army relies heavily on firearms for combat, without firearms, although the Datang New Army still has a certain advantage in the quality of soldiers, this advantage can be resolved.

In order to maintain the use of firearms, the Tang Dynasty must have a stable rear that can provide soldiers, weapons and ammunition, which means that the new army of the Tang Dynasty cannot run around like Li Zicheng or Hong Xiuquan.

You can't even play coercion, because the premise of coercion is that in a year of desolation, the ruled class is extremely disappointed with the ruling class, and it sometimes sweeps the whole country when it can't survive, but the Ming Dynasty in this year is still a dynasty. In the mid-term, although a lot of problems have been exposed, it is far from the situation in the late Ming Dynasty when the people are struggling to live and change their children to eat.

Chinese peasants are the most simple, as long as they are a little bit aggressive, they will not rebel, and they can't hide from this kind of thing.

Furthermore, although the Tang Dynasty was small, it was still a regime established according to a standard dynasty.

The current national conditions and the particularity of the new army of the Tang Dynasty determined that the path of bandit exile was not suitable for the Tang Dynasty.

Since you don't play bandits, you can only play the base area mode, but to keep the base area and even develop and grow, the new army of the Tang Dynasty needs to defeat the Ming army, and it needs to continuously defeat the Ming army, and this needs to maintain the advantages of weapons and personnel. .

As for the advantage of firearms, Li Xuan didn't know how long he would be able to maintain it.

Everyone is not stupid. You, the new army of the Tang Dynasty, will use firearms, and the Ming army will also use them. Even if they can't react for a while in the early stage, they will definitely use firearms on a large scale in the later stage.

To be honest, the muskets of the new army of the Tang Dynasty are not high-tech products. The craftsmen in the valleys can make them, and the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty can also make them. In fact, probably during this period, the Ming Dynasty will imitate them. Bird gun, and bird gun is a very typical matchlock gun.

As for artillery, the Ming Dynasty was even more indispensable. Today's Ming Dynasty has been equipped with a large number of Folang cannons, and there are many general cannons of hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

Even if there were no fire guns and artillery before the Ming Dynasty, but people wouldn't copy them?

Therefore, the technical advantages of firearms cannot be maintained for too long in theory, and how long they can be maintained depends on how much the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the Tang Dynasty.

Maybe one or two years, maybe five or six years, if the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers are collectively stupid, it is possible to maintain it for ten or twenty years.

How long the advantage on firearms can be maintained is unknown.

And once there is no advantage in firearms, the quality of soldiers and tactics will be of little use.

Even if the Ming army is worse than you, they can't fight one-on-one, but they won't fight one out of ten?

Based on these reasons, Li Xuan has always been relatively pessimistic about the future of his own Datang Dynasty. It is possible to be able to traverse several provinces and jump around for a few years, but it is really too difficult to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Although Li Xuan won't tell everyone about this thought in his heart, it doesn't mean he won't think about it and make some preparations for it.

What to prepare?

Of course it is to escape. For more than a year, Li Xuan is always ready to escape.

And these days, there is nothing safer than escaping the sea.

At that time, if he can't beat the Ming Dynasty, he will go to sea with the remnants of the Tang Dynasty. Well, not to go to the sea in the small blue building, that is what women do, but to Nanyang or some other place. In places like Nanyang, it is relatively easy to find a place to kill all the natives and continue to be his emperor.

Even if he can't take the army with him, it will be easier for him to take his family to run. He can't wait for the Ming army to kill him.

That's right, even if there are thousands of troops under his hand, they have already planned to attack the city and overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but Li Xuan still did not forget to leave a way out for himself.

Because he really has no confidence!

Besides planning to leave a retreat for oneself, there are of course other more important reasons for choosing to go south and go to the beach~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, it is not necessary to go to the beach to escape, but also to go to the deep mountains and forests the same effect.

Going to the south will also have a great positive effect on the strategic development of the Tang Dynasty. If you go to the south first, you can stay away from the ruling core of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Yangtze River Basin, and the military pressure will be less. There can be more development time.

In addition, foreigners can also exchange science and technology.

Although the Westerners these days are not very good at science and technology, there are some things that are still very good. For example, their artillery is good. When the time comes, we will see if we can get the artillery manufacturing technology from foreigners.

In addition, it is very important to do sea trade business to make money to support the family, oh no, it is to support the army.

The combination of so many reasons prompted Li Xuan to make the choice to go south.

So at the next day's imperial strategy meeting, Bai Yunqi, who was hinted by Li Xuan, once again put forward a plan for going south, and he came up with a very detailed strategic plan for going south.

A discerning person glanced at Bai Yunqi's actions and knew that this was a decision made by His Majesty himself.

Because everyone in the top management of the Tang Dynasty knew that Bai Yunqi was the Emperor's spokesperson, and at each imperial strategic meeting, he seldom took the initiative to say anything, let alone put forward any constructive opinions.

Once he came up with a very detailed plan, then nine times out of ten it was the emperor's intention.

And this time, the same is true, Bai Yunqi's plan for going south is more detailed than the plan Li Chunjing and the others proposed yesterday.

In this plan for going south, not only military strategy issues, but also political and economic issues are taken into account.

With such a detailed plan, ten Bai Yunqi couldn't come up with it.

Only Your Majesty can come up with such a detailed plan!
