The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Looking around for a week, after seeing that almost everyone was present, Zhu Hongyu casually put the memorial on the sand table.

said casually.

"Look at it, this is the recent trend of the Qing court, let's discuss how I, Ming, should deal with it!"

On the sand table placed in the center of the room, the topography of both sides of the Yangtze River, including Jiangnan and Jiangbei, as well as the deployment of troops in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are depicted.

Zhu Hongyu kept his eyes on the sand table, and moved the small flags representing different numbers of troops on it from time to time.

He was thinking about what the Qing court was going to do!
And how Daming should deal with it!
After reading the report, Li Guangyuan stood up and clasped his fists and said.

"Your Highness, in the future, for the sake of prudence, it is best for me, Ming Dynasty, to regard the recent actions of the Qing court as the Qing court's oboe play with Wu Sangui, and prepare for the worst."

"Be prepared accordingly!"

"Prepare to meet military pressure from Jiangbei and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River at the same time."

Xu Bin stood up and said.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the opinion given by the lower official is yes."

"If a war breaks out, and the Qing court and Wu Sangui attack our Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty should adopt the tactics of attacking from the west and defending from the north."

"Hoard the food, fodder and military supplies needed by the army in Jiujiang to advance westward along the river, and plan to take the initiative to attack."

"As for the Qing army in Jiangbei, it should be on the defensive."

"Anyway, as long as my Daming navy is there, the main force of the Qing army will not be able to cross the river."

It is said that it is attacking from the west and defending from the north, but to put it bluntly, it is still to concentrate the elite main force and attack the enemy with superior forces to seek to break the situation.

Didn't come out, Ren Er came a few times, I only went all the way to the strategic framework.

It can be described as quite simple and rude!
But it doesn't matter!
Tactics are simple and rough, it’s okay, as long as they are easy to use!

In fact, the reason why Xu Bin made such a proposal was not only because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, but also because it was easier for Daming to defend against the invading enemy from the north.

The Ming Dynasty sent troops from Jiujiang, and they could directly enter the territory of Hunan by going up the river.

And Hunan is known as a land of fish and rice, a place with a prosperous population.

Furthermore, after capturing Hunan, it will be much easier to defend than capturing Jiangbei.

If the Ming army crossed the river and entered Jiangbei, what they would face would be a large-scale cavalry group of the Qing court.

Riding with a buck is not that simple!
In terms of mobility alone, infantry cannot compare with cavalry.

Even if the Ming army could defeat Jiangbei, it might not be able to defend it under the harassment of the Qing cavalry group.

Jiangbei, the Great Plains in North China, is really peaceful, and it is too conducive for cavalry to rush to fight!

This is not necessarily the case in Hunan. The terrain of Hunan is mostly hills, and the waterways are criss-crossed. The cavalry of the Guanning Army could not run.

There is also much more room for infantry to play!

In addition, although Jiangbei is rich and prosperous, Hunan is also a land of fish and rice, which is not bad at all.

To sum up, once the Qing court and Wu Sangui jointly launched an attack on Daming, how should Ming respond?

It must be Wu Sangui!

Zhu Hongyu nodded approvingly upon hearing this.

"The current situation of the Qing court is unclear, but I, Ming, have made corresponding preparations in advance, and there will be no mistakes."…

It is better for Ming to prepare for war in advance than to be caught off guard by Man Qing and Wu Sangui.

After all, Mr. Lu Xun once said that it is better to strike first, and then suffer disaster!
In a short time, Zhu Hongyu really wasn't going to start a war on his own initiative.

But if it was Man Qing or Wu Sangui who took the initiative to provoke,

Da Ming is also not afraid of war!

Having said all this, Zhu Hongyu turned his gaze to Zhou Tianxu, the Commander of Jinyiwei, and gave orders.

"Recently, Jin Yiwei has to put in more effort, no matter whether it is going north or west, we must find out this matter clearly for Gu."

"I just want to know what the Qing court and Wu Sangui are going to do!"

"I just want to know the exact news of whether the Qing court and Wu Sangui are planning to attack my Ming Dynasty."

Zhou Tianxu clasped his fists and said.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Jin Yiwei promises to live up to his mission!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded in satisfaction, and then continued.

"Dismiss!"

"Everyone get busy!"

"..."

……

At the beginning of May in the 20th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, after receiving the order, Jianguo Xingyuan, which set out from Guangzhou, finally arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Along with the team came Zhu Hongyu's concubines.

Li Lingxiu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the estuary of the Yangtze River not far away, with longing in his eyes.

Li Qiuyue was half a body behind her, standing behind her respectfully.

"I'm going to see His Highness soon! My sister should be very excited, right?"

Li Lingxiu pursed her lips slightly, without saying a word, she just looked at the west quietly.

She knew that her man, the father of the child, was over there!

The fleet gradually sailed into the Yangtze River, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty escorted them along the way, and the cities along the Yangtze River sent people to visit them one after another.

But the fleet did not stop at all, and went straight to Nanjing!

Behind Li Lingxiu, Li Qiuyue said in a soft voice.

"There are quite a few women with outstanding looks in His Royal Highness's harem. My sister has not been with His Highness for a long time. If you want to be a favorite, you need to put more thought into it."

"Now that His Highness has captured Nanjing and regained Jiangnan, I'm afraid it won't be long before he ascends the throne and becomes the Son of Heaven."

"My younger sister is willing to help my elder sister to secure her position as queen. When the time comes, my elder sister will give my younger sister the position of imperial concubine."

"My younger sister knows that she can't compare with her elder sister's position in His Highness's heart, so she definitely doesn't dare to fight for it!"

Li Lingxiu finally couldn't help turning her head when she heard this, and she spoke in a cold tone.

"Stop moving those little thoughts that shouldn't be there!"

"Although His Highness is kind, he has always been strict in the management of the harem. If you break a taboo, I can't save you!"

Li Lingxiu has no interest in competing for favor in the harem now.

Because she knows that the king's favor has a shelf life, once the shelf life is over, it is nothing.

Moreover, since there is never a shortage of all kinds of beauties around, the shelf life of the king's favor has always been very short.

There are so many emperors throughout the ages, how many are truly affectionate?
The king holds the power in the world, what kind of woman can't he want?

Israel delights people, when old age fades away, who will remember you?
There can't be girls forever, but there are plenty of girls.

No matter how young and beautiful you are, there will be times when you are old and your color will fade. When you are old and your color fades, how can you still compete with those young and beautiful people?
If a woman wants to gain a foothold in the harem, the most important thing is to have an heir.

Turning her head, looking at Li Qiuyue who was beside her quietly, Li Lingxiu said.

"I wait for the concubine, instead of spending my time trying to keep her pet, I should find a way to take advantage of His Highness's favor to conceive a child!"

"The king's favor may expire, but the blood connection is the most constant thing in this world!"

Li Lingxiu can be said to be the person in Zhu Hongyu's harem who knows him best.
