First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 424

Zhu Yuanzhang regarded Chen Youliang as a great enemy, and this battle to destroy Chen has been brewing for a long time.

But even so, this final determination is not easy to make.

Looking at this battle from outside, Zhu Yuanzhang has a huge advantage, swallowing Chen Youliang, unifying the southern region, going north to destroy the Yuan, and unifying the world... This kind of wealth battle has never been fought in eight lifetimes.

But from the perspective of Zhu Yuanzhang, the account is not calculated like this.

Chen Youliang still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. If you want to destroy Chen, it will not work without mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops.

And once so many soldiers and horses are mobilized, it involves logistics, ordnance, food and grass, all kinds of materials, and spending money is like running water. The cost of a war of this scale is not only on the battlefield, the pensions of the dead and wounded soldiers, the treatment of prisoners, the control of the newly occupied territory... All kinds of things are too numerous to count.

Although Qin State won the Battle of Changping, it almost exhausted the national power of Great Qin, and had to spend a long time recuperating.

Not to mention anything else, it is very fatal just to massively transfer the labor force and cause an impact on agriculture.

Saying these things is not to let Chen Youliang go, and not to use troops for him.

On the contrary, only after thinking about all these things, coming up with a plan, and solving it properly, can we concentrate all our efforts, make it all work in one battle, and completely eradicate the scourge of Chen Youliang!

Up to now, Zhu Yuanzhang's side has prepared almost 70%. Although he can fight, he still cannot say that it is foolproof.

"Mr. said that this newspaper can mobilize the people and work together. This is considered to have solved a major issue of people's hearts. As for the military situation on Chen Youliang's side, Guo Ying also assured us that the Secretary of Gongwei is confident that this matter will be done."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The rest are the civil servants and military generals, how are they prepared?"

Zhang Ximeng nodded and said: "My lord, Chang Yuchun has already gone to Jiangzhou to reorganize his army. I thought I could give him 80,000 main force, go upstream from Jiangzhou, enter Huguang, directly take Wuchang, and destroy Chen Youliang's main force!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Eighty thousand people, isn't it too few?"

"My lord, Chang Yuchun, I'm afraid he won't be able to command more soldiers! If he is less than 100,000, he can run wild. If he exceeds 100,000, I'm afraid that he will make mistakes and cause trouble instead!"

"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and it seemed that Chang Yuchun had really blown up, saying that he could lead an army of 100,000 and run rampant in the world.

For some generals, even famous generals have an upper limit for commanding troops. On the battlefield, it is not the more people the better.

An outstanding general is to know himself and his enemy, to be able to handle it calmly.

Therefore, most generals in history will not lead troops indefinitely, of course, except for Han Xin... The famous Beifu soldiers, when they broke Fujian, only 80,000 people. Thousands of people, like tiger and leopard cavalry, elite soldiers of Baishu, and even Yue Fei's Beiwei Army, were in a similar situation.

The 80,000 people awarded to Chang Yuchun fully considered the upper limit of his ability to command troops. Of course, this upper limit is not the combat power. With Chang Yuchun's bravery and the training level of Zhu's army, it is not impossible for 80,000 people to defeat hundreds of thousands of enemies.

"Well, Mr.'s words are also knowledgeable and responsible. But our intention is to let Xu Da go out of Qichun and block Jiangbei, lest Chen Youliang escape north, especially not let him and Yuan Ting get together, otherwise it will be It's a heartbreaker."

Zhang Ximeng nodded again and again, "My lord, in this way, with the addition of the navy, we will have a three-way army here."

Lao Zhu said: "There is still a road to Tang He, this is the four-way army... It's just that although there are many soldiers and horses, it is still a little short of destroying Chen! After all, there is still a road, and it is not blocked!"

"Ba Shu!" Zhang Ximeng said solemnly: "Although Ming Yuzhen and Chen Youliang had a falling out, after all, they both came out of the sky. If Chen Youliang entered Shu, it would not be easy."

Old Zhu said: "Yes, although it is not very likely whether it is to join Yuan Ting or escape into Shu, Chen Youliang is a bit arrogant. He will probably fight to the end with us. But this preparation must be made. , Only when we are foolproof can we dare to go all out!”

While the monarchs and ministers were talking, they did not know that the Zhu family's army envoys headed by Sun Yan and Gao Qi had entered Bashu.

And over the mountains and mountains, came to the Diaoyu City in Hezhou.

This is a mountain that stands abruptly, with a height of 100 feet. The three rivers of Jialing River, Qujiang River and Fujiang River converge at the foot of the mountain. It is surrounded by water on the south, north and west sides. The terrain is very dangerous. It has both the danger of mountains and rivers and the convenience of transportation. It can be connected to all parts of Bashu through waterways and land passages.

Because of this, the small fishing town attracted the attention of the Mongolian Khan.

Meng Ge personally led an army of 40,000 people, known as 100,000, to storm the city of Diaoyu.

Before that, the Mongol Empire had experienced two major campaigns... The first was the Western Expedition hosted by Genghis Khan. This time, a powerful enemy, Khwarazimo, was conquered and the Mongol Empire began to take shape.

After Okuotai took office, he continued the path of Genghis Khan, attacked and destroyed the Jin Kingdom in the east, and used troops in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The army led by Batu sieged cities and lands all the way, wiped out the Rus countries, entered Europe, captured Kyiv, and captured Pest in Hungary... The entire Western world has been unable to resist the Mongolian army, all European countries, All under the iron hoofs, trembling, and only praying to the God who has few divisions.

At this time, Wo Kuotai died.

The Mongol Empire fell into chaos and was succeeded by Guiyou Khan, a great khan who was reluctant to use foreign troops.

In the Mongol Empire, if you can't fight, you don't deserve to sit on the dragon chair.

Sure enough, within a few years, Meng Ge replaced Guiyou and formed an alliance with Batu. The two giants of the East and West took charge of this unprecedentedly vast Mongolian Empire.

The battle strategy formulated by Meng Ge is still the thing left by the ancestors... The commander of the army in the west is Xu Liewu, his target is Persia, Dashi and other places, the fierce Mongolian cavalry, marching forward, conquered All the countries that the soldiers pointed to were Egypt.

If Egypt also falls, the Mongols will be able to push Europe from the Mediterranean direction, as well as the direction of Eastern Europe, and no one will doubt their combat effectiveness.

And just when the whole of the West was about to kneel, the distant Bashu, the small Diaoyu City of Hezhou, a group of ordinary farmers and soldiers, in a casual battle, Mongolian Khan Meng Ge was injured and died of illness... This is An unremarkable battle in the history books. Gu Lin

But it was this battle that killed the last great Khan of the Mongol Empire!

The four generations of Mongolian Khans, in addition to Guiyou, the three Great Khans launched three Western expeditions... Every expedition was due to the death of the Great Khan and had to be stopped.

Mongolia Khan, in particular, was killed in battle.

Since then, the Mongol Empire has never had a king who can command everyone.

Although Kublai Khan still regarded himself as the Great Mongolian Khan, and the rest of the Mongolian Khanate was still dominated by Kublai Khan, this huge empire had lost the ability to mobilize in a unified way.

Kublai Khan also became the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

This small fishing town has saved the entire western world and rewritten history.

Although the stubborn Diaoyu City did not ultimately save the Song Dynasty from its demise, but for them, they have done their best, worthy of their hearts, worthy of the elders of Bashu, worthy of the land of Huaxia!

At that time, Zhao Song perished, and it was meaningless to continue fighting. After receiving the promise of not hurting the people, Diaoyucheng gave up its resistance.

Thirty-two generals committed suicide together... Their country has perished prematurely, and their deaths were not sacrificed for the country, but for the sake of this ancient civilization.

The hot blood kept burning.

Heroes and seniors inspire future generations to never give up their struggles.

Seventy-two years after the Battle of Diaoyucheng, Han Shantong Liu Futong launched an uprising, lit the red scarf beacon fire, and sounded the horn to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty!

"The soul is back! Heroic spirits must not be scattered!"

"Your descendants have not given up after all. Huaxia is not dead, and people's hearts are not dead... Chopping wood into soldiers, rising up. Millions of red scarves, the north and south of the river, expelled the barbarians and restored China. Since ancient times, the barbarians have no national luck for a hundred years, Yanhuang Miao, how can you stay dormant on your knees for a long time!"

"There are people from Haozhou, whose name is Daming for the founding of the country, who are determined to rejuvenate China and expel the Hulu... When they succeed, they will surely comfort their ancestors.

Sun Yan and Gao Qi, representing Zhu Yuanzhang, read the sacrificial text in front of Diaoyu City and offered sacrifices to heroic spirits.

Ming Yuzhen didn't think so much at first, but what about a group of people who have been dead for almost a hundred years?

But soon Ming Yuzhen realized her mistake.

This is Bashu!

The most courageous and unyielding Bashu!

Mongolia destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the casualties in the Bashu land were almost exhausted, so Huguang had no choice but to fill Bashu.

The Qing army went south, and the people of Bashu were unyielding in the battle to the death. It was another time to fill Bashu with Huguang.

Then came the invasion of Japanese pirates, and it was the land of Bashu, which assumed the role of the mainstay.

Even in later generations, the three-line construction here still shelters the Central Plains and the Chinese people.

Ming Yuzhen went to Shu and ran to pay homage to the three eagle dogs that were loyal to the Mongolians.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not enter Shu, he sent people to Diaoyu City to pay homage to the heroic spirits.

The difference is clear at a glance.

No wonder Jiang Yan, without hesitation, decided to join Zhu Yuanzhang.

There is no way, the gap is really too big.

Shu people have never lost China!

History pens are like knives~www.mtlnovel.com~ The history of the millennium has its own public opinion.

Almost overnight, offering sacrifices to Luoyang was expensive. When people learned that the theme of the sacrificial text was determined by Zhang Xiang, the people of Bashu knew about Zhang Ximeng.

Knowing that he assists Da Mingzi can be equivalent to the role of Zhuge Liang.

Another person took Zhang Ximeng's article to the land of Bashu and circulated it everywhere.

A terrible wind blew up from the land of Bashu.

By the time Ming Yuzhen realized it, it was too late.

If you disobey Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, and when Chen Youliang perishes, it will be difficult for Bashu to maintain. And the people of Shu would not agree.

Ming Yuzhen had no choice but to announce that 20,000 people were dispatched out of Shu to attack Chen Youliang and avenge Xu Shouhui!

So far, the five-way army has come out, and Chen Youliang's last life has been cut off...
