First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 98

Hot recommendation:

"Lord, this time I definitely can't wait and see it, Yuan Ting has a big picture!"

Jia Lu let out a deep sigh, the worry cannot be concealed.

The Yuan Dynasty was an empire built on a military basis, and the Mongols were naturally unique as the tiger and wolf divisions that swept the world. Even if the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the day is thinning, and the final fight is still quite terrifying.

In terms of strength alone, a four hundred thousand army, as long as it rolls forward, is enough to crush any enemy.

Not only are they more powerful, but among these people are the Mongolian kings of Shaanxi, Hexi Corridor and other places, as well as the vassals of the Western Regions, and they are equipped with iron armor.

And don't forget that the Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for decades, plundering a large number of skilled craftsmen to enrich the grasslands.

The result is that these cavalry are not only brave, but also very well equipped, armor, scimitar, longbow, sharp blade... completely not comparable to the three cavalry under Lao Zhu.

"One more thing, the lord must also be careful." Jia Lu took out a letter again, which was sent from Jiangnan.

In Jiqing and other places, the Yuan garrison, including Tu Jianbuhua, the privy envoy who smashed the horses, and the landlord's armed leader Chen Yexian, and the Yuanting navy division of the Yangtze River, had a total force of nearly 200,000. Waiting for an opportunity to cross the river, attack the Red Scarf Army in Huaixi.

"From the perspective of the old man, Tuo Tuo means to attack from north to south, from south to north, and attack on both sides. First take Gaoyou, then Hezhou, and then join the main force of the Yuan army to attack the Red Army in Jiangxi and other places, and join the Central Plains. Losing Liu Futong...In this way, the massive Red Scarf uprising can only disintegrate, and the stars fall away. Yuan Ting can survive and wait for the next uprising."

Jia Lu served as an official in Yuan Ting for many years, and once an official in Zhong Shu Zuo Cheng, he understood Yuan Ting's ideas too well. His analysis is 100% attached and free of ideas.

In fact, Tuotuo had long wanted to go south, but he never sent troops, except for the grain and grass, he was waiting for the cavalry from the Western Regions.

In addition, Tuotuo also imagined that he would go south from Suzhou and other places, use Yipiandi to squeeze Haozhou and other places, and finally besiege Gaoyou, destroy Zhang Shicheng, and pacify the two Huai areas in one fell swoop.

And for this plan, he tolerated Cheri Buhua's failure and urged him to rectify his troops and launch an attack... Needless to say, Cheri Buhua smoothly gave Zhu Yuanzhang a big gift package. Let Tutuo's plan completely bankrupted.

There is no other way but to mobilize the soldiers and horses from the south of the Yangtze River, and use the north-south joint attack method to bet a bigger bargaining chip. If he wins, everything is easy to say, he is the hero who continues the great Yuan Guozuo, but once he loses, the main force of the Yuan army is exhausted, and the overall situation will never be restored.

Great Yuan's prosperity, in one fell swoop!

Turns out Tuotuo is the old Showa.

In history, while the army of the freed-off army attacked Gaoyou, the Yuan army in the south of the Yangtze River launched 100,000 horses to attack Hezhou. At that time, Lao Zhu had only 10,000 soldiers and horses. The battle was very hard. Even Li Shanchang personally went to defend the city. This repelled the Yuan Bing.

Then Lao Zhu fought in Hezhou and got the attachment of Chang Yuchun and others, and gathered the Chaohu navy. Only then did he cross the river to attack Taiping and celebrate...

Too many people in later generations were attracted by the battle of Gaoyou, ignoring the battle with Zhou, and also defeating the strong with the weak. And through the battle with the state, forged Lao Zhu's core team.

It was this team that finally defeated the heroes of all walks of life, the Northern Expedition, the destruction of Yuan Ting, and the restoration of the Han family after a hundred years!

Zhang Ximeng pondered for a long time before he raised his head and said to Jia Lu: "Yuan Ting's advantage lies here. The old man thinks that there are any weaknesses in getting rid of it? Or that this huge army of hundreds of thousands is really true. Can't it be forever?"

Jia Lu smiled, "If he was really invincible, he would have gone south long ago."

The old man cheered up, changed his face, and reanalyzed.

"For the first one, the Yuan army was divided into north and south, but after all, there was a Red Army rebels blocking it, and it was far away from the capital. He may not be able to order the Yuan army in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if he can order the movement, across the Yangtze River, I am afraid that there is no The law cooperates tacitly and works together to attack. This gives us the opportunity to break through and deal with them separately."

"Second, although the northwestern cavalry who have been transferred from the demobilization are powerful, they are not satisfied with the water and soil, especially the heat in the south. Therefore, they will enter the autumn and go south in September. If they cannot win as soon as possible, they will be delayed until the spring and summer of next year. After getting warmer, the Yuan army must be sick and will collapse without fighting!"

"There is this third article, that is to get rid of yourself. Although he is considered a different kind in the Yuan court, he is a great minister without arrogance, and he is insignificant, far-sighted, and a good priest. He is called the minister of the society. But his ability to command the army can only be said to be reluctant. Moreover, above the court, he may not be able to tolerate a prime minister who will sweep away the smoke and dust and return in victory! Don't forget, the uncle who is free is Boyan. !"

Jialu gave three flaws. The first two are easy to say. They are nothing more than an analysis of strategic military strength, which is quite satisfactory, but the third one is too ridiculous.

Since Genghis Khan, the Mongols have been fighting inwardly for sweat. They fight fiercely externally and even more fierce internally.

Even if Kublai Ding was the capital, after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, he still carried the fierceness in his bones.

Kublai's reign for thirty-five years and Yuan Shun's reign for thirty-six years, one head and one tail, the total is seventy-one years.

And the Yuan Ting had a total of ninety years, and the middle twenty years were allocated to a full nine emperors... It is hard to imagine how messy Yuan Ting's government can be.

Compared with the Yuan Dynasty, the chaos after Su Xunzong's death is quite orderly.

Like the emperor's revolving lanterns, if they keep changing, the court will be chaotic, and the ministers will naturally come out.

The official system of the Yuan dynasty gave soil for the breeding of powerful officials.

If nothing else, Tuotuo's uncle Boyan was once in power, and the world only knew Boyan, but not the emperor. He claimed that he wanted to punish the five major Chinese surnames. This kind of hard work that carbon-based creatures can't make comes from his handwriting.

Boyan is so arrogant, how did he fall?

This is thanks to Tuotuo.

Tuotuo is Boyan's nephew. He has been fostered in front of Boyan since he was a child, just like his own son.

Tuotuo looked at his uncle's power, for fear that he would offend the emperor and be implicated... He simply united with the emperor's confidant and ousted his uncle.

Boyan was wronged and died on the way to Lingnan.

Tuotuo stepped on his uncle's bones and became the prime minister of Yuan Ting. It can be regarded as a very Mongolian characteristic father and son filial piety, brothers and friends respectful.

To become a prime minister, although he strives to be courteous and kind, reforms bad governance, appoints people on his merits, and does a lot of good deeds. But the mansions will be overwhelming, how can they be a single tree to support?

Once again, let's get rid of this background, plus his actions to beat his uncle...Who can believe that he is a loyal and pure minister?

From the ruling and opposition parties, those officials who have had hatred for generations with Tuotuo, and those opponents who want to seize power, are all staring at them and are unwilling to let Tuotuo succeed.

When the monarchs and ministers reached this point, Zhang Ximeng let out a sigh, "Master, if you fail, you will lose your appetite!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and listened.

Zhang Ximeng continued: "If he was just like the last time he wiped out Sesame Li, he might be able to succeed, but he plans to gather the Southern and Northern Yuan forces to smash the red scarf... At that time, even if he wants to be a loyal minister, I'm afraid Yuan Ting didn't believe him anymore. Right now, most of the people who want to get rid of the unlucky ones are not less than us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, but nodded vigorously, agreeing with Zhang Ximeng's judgment.

In fact, when you get to the position of Tuotuo, you have no choice.

Can he make the plan smaller, can it work?

Sorry, no!

So many people are staring, you say ten years of Pingliao, people say five years of Pingliao... Don't care if it can be done, first blow up the cowhide and get the military power.

The same is true for Tuotuo. He mounted the tiger's back and rushed forward.

At the thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang still had such a trace of sympathy, it is not easy to get rid of this prime minister!

But soon Lao Zhu threw this idea out of the blue.

He won't sympathize with Tutuo, he can't wait for Tutuo to die with a thunder!

The north and the south add up to a total of 600,000 troops. What should we do?

"My lord, it is not false to attack Gaoyou without the main force, but he may not be able to separate the divisions and attack us. Therefore, the city defense of Liuhe must be strengthened. Feng Guo's use of a thousand households alone may not be enough~www.mtlnovel.com~ must be dispatched. Heavy soldiers." Zhang Ximeng thought: "Liuhe is the gateway to Jiqing, and it is connected to Yangzhou. The location is critical, and non-generals cannot guard them. I propose to let Xu Da be responsible."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhang Ximeng said again: "Lord, just analyzed, the South and North Yuan army may not have the same heart and morality. If they attack Liuhe and join forces with the main force, the Yuan army in Jiangnan will be subject to the main force. It must be in Hezhou. The lord had better sit in Hezhou, mobilize troops and horses, and fight against the Yuan army! It would be best to eliminate the Yuan army in the south of the Yangtze River in Hezhou. At that time, we will cross the river to attack Jiqing and it will be easy. many!"

"Also... the war is not just about the gains and losses on the battlefield, but also other aspects." Zhang Ximeng turned his eyes to Jia Lu, bent his eyes, and said with a smile: "Old man, you can figure out Yuan Ting's plan. , I'm afraid that there are still many friends in the DPRK! How should you get rid of the power ministers for Yuan Ting, you will definitely be able to help!"

Jia Lu rolled his eyes, this kid really wouldn't do anything to himself.

"The old man can only do his best."

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "The old man can rest assured, just use any means. I have arranged for someone to secretly take over the old man's family members. Even if it is exposed at that time, it will not harm the family!"

Jia Lu was even more angry, and his beard pouted with anger. You little bastard, is that to relieve your worries?

Obviously it is to intimidate the old man with his family!

I'm afraid that I can't exert my energy to force the old man to harm his conscience!

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, and Guo Ying rushed in and said eagerly: "Your superior, Yuan soldiers crossing the river, attacked us!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he stood up suddenly, Zhang Ximeng and Jia Lu were also shocked, the battle came so fast!
