Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 51
Although the Great Wall is thousands of miles long, it is impossible for every inch of the Great Wall to be full of guards.

What's more, from Ganzhou Longyou in the northwest to the mountains and seas in the northeast, it is also divided into three passes: outer, inner, and inner. They cross each other, but they are not connected end to end.

In fact, the role of the Great Wall, since ancient times, has not been like a city wall to prevent foreign enemies from entering, but more as a stronghold, warning, material hoarding and supply lines.

In other words, since Qin Shihuang's renovation of the Great Wall, the Great Wall was more used as an outpost for attack, not for shelter.

It has not been the cold stones that have been able to guard the world of the Han family since ancient times, but the warm-blooded men who have gone on and on in China.

So when Zhu Qi learned that there were actually three hundred Beiyuan Huqi operating around the Taiyuan Mansion, he was extremely shocked, while the other generals in the Taiyuan Mansion were used to it.

Not to mention the Taiyuan Mansion, five years before Hongwu, the entire north of the Huanghuai River was within the scope of Huqi's activities in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, that is, after recovering the Sixteen States of Yanyun, the Huanghuai River Basin could be said to be much safer. In fact, it has been seven years since Hongwu, and the Ming Dynasty has not completely regained the basic territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Liaodong, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places are still under the control of Beiyuan, especially Yunnan, and there is another one that has been in the Song Dynasty. Where is the Dali Duan family who is jumping around!

Of course, the Duan family of Dali is now the chief official of Northern Yuan. Just like Yuan's son-in-law Koryo, they are both Beiyuan's vassal dogs, and their official name is Dali Chief.

In any case, after many years of blood and fire at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the soldiers in the Taiyuan Mansion can be said to be "old fritters". He started to act on his own, and submitted combat suggestions one by one.

There is no need to mention such things as strong walls and clearing fields, sentry cavalry inspections, etc., but sometimes there will be one or two contradictory suggestions. For example, Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, suggested to stick to the city and send out sentry posts. After the news, make plans.

However, Liao Yongzhong, the Marquis of Deqing, suggested that the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Mansion should be divided into several groups of cavalry of 500 people, and they should take the initiative to attack and search for this 300-man Hu cavalry. Isn't it a joke that they are wandering outside.

Which of the two people said was reasonable, Zhu Qi didn't know, and he didn't understand, the only thought was to follow the famous general, and he did what the famous general said.

But Geng Bingwen and Liao Yongzhong, who made the suggestion, are both famous generals. Geng Bingwen attacked Guangde, Changxing, and Bianliang. He has made outstanding military exploits and made outstanding achievements in history. The only failure is the battle of Jingnan. Hanging hammer.

Liao Yongzhong is also very powerful. He was responsible for the battle to the death in Fanyang Lake, the establishment of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the destruction of Xixia. It is a pity that he was given to death in the eighth year of Hongwu in history. Of course, it is the seventh year of Hongwu, and he is still alive and well. of it.

It stands to reason that Zhu Qi, as the biggest general staying in Taiyuan Mansion, should make up his mind at this time, but Zhu Qi, as a young man with three talents cultivated in the 21st century, has never been the kind of self-righteous and arbitrary person.

If you are not familiar with things, then leave it to the professionals. What if there are more professionals?Then let's discuss together!

Isn't there a thing called the General Staff in military history, which shined in World War II?Although I can't figure out such a thing as the staff department for the time being, it is still possible to gather famous generals to discuss specific strategies.

Although the enemy is only [-] Hu Qi, but Zhu Qi does not want the people under his rule to be harmed by Hu Qi.

The soldiers didn't think too much, it was just a battle meeting, and they had participated in many such meetings before. Although there was no such thing as a staff department in ancient times, the general would often ask his staff and subordinates before making a decision. General's opinion.

Ever since, the first military meeting presided over by His Royal Highness King Liao was formally held under such circumstances.

A large number of military generals gathered together. For now, the most famous ones are Liao Yongzhong and Geng Bingwen. They also expressed their views at the meeting.

One advocates the defense of the established target, and the other advocates that the enemy is infiltrated by a small group of troops, so let's also divide into small groups and go directly to search.

The opinions of the two famous generals were at odds, and the generals under him quickly divided into two factions, arguing endlessly.

Zhu Qi suddenly had a headache. He really wanted to ask them to come up with multiple plans in the form of the general staff of later generations, and to digitize the success rate of all the plans. arrived.

The biggest difference between the modern staff department and the ancient staff is that the staff department has completed the digital problem solving of military warfare, and on the premise of a large amount of digital data specific to individual soldiers, it uses mathematical problem solving methods to give the optimal solution .

There is really no way, Zhu Qi decided to believe in metaphysics, he looked at Zhu Di and Li Jinglong, and asked:

"What do you two think?"

Li Jinglong immediately said: "The general thinks that what the two generals said is reasonable. It is better to keep half of the soldiers and horses to defend the city, and then divide the half of the soldiers and horses into small groups to search for Hu Qi."

Good guy, when Li Jinglong said this, Zhu Qi panicked. According to the theory of metaphysics, Li Jinglong really helped whoever lost in history. Yes, Li Jinglong led him abruptly and lost the battle of Jingnan.

When he said this, the plans of the two generals were cast a shadow. Fortunately, there was Zhu Di, a lucky star, so Zhu Di also frowned and said:

"Third brother, let's look at the map first."

As soon as Zhu Di opened his mouth, he knew that there was something. He didn't talk about it on paper, but pointed to the map. The map was newly made, completely in accordance with Zhu Qi's requirements, in equal proportions, and the mountains, rivers, roads, etc. were clearly visible.

Zhu Di continued:

"Taiyuan Mansion is located in a basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are many rivers in the west. If you come from the north and cross Datong Mansion, it will be like entering a pocket. If you don't take anything, it's fine to come and go like the wind, but if you Looting villages has yielded a lot, and it is not easy to get out of this pocket.

According to the usual situation, Bei Yuan's Hu cavalry are divided into small groups, which are nothing more than raiding grass valleys, plundering supplies and population, and withdrawing from the pass before my Ming army has arrived. There are many towns and villages that can be used as targets, why does this army alone appear near my Taiyuan Prefecture? "

A general hesitated a little and said:

"Based on the time, the Datong Mansion must have been attacked by Bei Yuan. Maybe this small group of Hu Qi wants to take advantage of the opportunity to go deep into the interior and make a fortune when we have no time to take care of ourselves?"

What the general said is also very reasonable. After all, places where looting is frequent are relatively poor. The more stable the place, the higher the prosperity and the more spoils of war. This is a matter of course.

But Zhu Di shook his head and said:

"If Beiyuan is still as scattered as it was before, and each tribe fights on its own, it's possible. It's just that Wang Baobao, the number one man in the world, has recently won a big victory..."

Zhu Qi also immediately realized that on the prairie, the strong are respected, Wang Baobao's reputation is now high, and he is still the prime minister of Beiyuan, with the military and political power in his hands. These three hundred Huqi are not too many, and they are not too few. The army and tribes are all desperately infiltrating and attacking the Great Wall outside the Datong line. What do you mean by 300 people crossing Datong Mansion and going to Taiyuan Mansion to burn, kill and loot?Are you afraid that Wang Baobao will wipe out your entire tribe?
Where there is a strange thing, there must be a demon!
But the rest of the generals are still a little hesitant. After all, these are just speculations. Even if Beiyuan won a big victory the year before, they would not have crossed Datong Mansion to attack Taiyuan Mansion. Isn't this courting death? What can 300 people do?

But Zhu Qi nodded at this time and said: "Well, this king thinks so too."

Looking at His Highness Liao Wang's swearing expression, and thinking of His Highness Liao Wang's "outstanding military talent" all the time, all the generals immediately became alert. Could it be that there is really a fraud in it?
After Zhu Qi finished speaking, seeing that Zhu Di didn't respond for a long time, he had no choice but to ask:
"Fourth brother, go ahead and let me hear your opinion."

Zhu Di also hesitated for a while, and said:

"Actually, I'm just an immature guess."

He pointed to the map, where the mountains and rivers are criss-crossed, and it is also the location of the famous Outer Three Passes. Ningwu, Yanmen, and Pianguan are connected to each other, and a constructed pass governs eighteen passes, including mountains, Xing, passes, cities, forts, The huge defense system of the village.

"Beiyuan's goal is not in the northern border of Datong. Could their goal be the three outer passes in the west?"

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Li Jinglong laughed loudly and said:
"How could it be? Impossible."

The rest of the generals also nodded one after another. After all, the Northern Yuan Dynasty really had no control over the west, and the Longyou area was already under the control of the Ming Dynasty. If they bypassed the three outer passes to the west, the Longyou Ming army could send troops to attack at any time. The difficulty is much more difficult than attacking Datong!
But Zhu Qi looked at Li Jinglong who was laughing and Zhu Di who was frowning, and asked calmly:
"If the king's army arranges to go west, will it affect the battle situation?"

All the generals were stunned and shook their heads. Of course, this will not affect the situation of the battle. Even if Bei Yuan attacked from all sides, the main battlefield is on the Datong line, and General Xu Da and General Li Wenzhong are standing there. We are just a reserve That's all.

Hearing what the generals said, Zhu Qi pointed to the map openly and decided:
"Gather an army over there and march westward, while marching, while searching for Hu Qi!"
