Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 117 One Country Two Emperors?
[There is no objection to the crusade against the Southwest, but who should be in command has become another problem. 】

【The elite of military commanders and cavalry were all buried in the civil fort, and they have not been able to catch their breath. Today's court is strong in culture and weak in military, and you are so distressed that you can't find a general who can stand up.There are two pillars of Wu Xun, one is the Zhang family of the British Duke, and the other is the Xu family of the Duke of Dingguo. It is unnecessary to think about the British Duke's lineage, which has a very good relationship with King Qi.So, you can only turn your attention to Ding Guogong's lineage. 】

[On June 30rd of the tenth year of Jiajing, you ordered Duke Xu Yande to hang the seal of General Pingnan as the commander-in-chief, lead an army of [-], and go south to crusade against King Qi.He ordered Mu Shaoxun, the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan, to send troops from the east road, join forces with Xu Yande, the Duke of Ding, and join forces to attack King Qi. 】

【You stand on the city wall of the capital and look to the south. You believe that you will not lose. 】

【Before this battle, you scattered all your eagles and dogs to go deep into the southwest to investigate the enemy's situation. The eldest son of the southwest, Zhu Youxie, inherited the new king.And it is this year, the tenth year of Jiajing, you want to announce to the world that after the Ming Dynasty, there will be no Qiwang Mansion that split the soil for the country! 】

Zhu Di: "I am damn!"

In this battle, whether it was won by the imperial army or the Southwest Army, Zhu Di did not want to see it.

If the imperial army wins, Daming will lose the barriers to defend the southwest, and will inevitably suffer from the invasion of foreign races in the south in the future, and the imperial court will continue to pour money into the southern region from the treasury.

The Jiajing dynasty may not have realized this problem, because for so many years, there has always been Qi Wang's mansion guarding the frontiers, and there is no need for the court to worry about it.

But Zhu Di understood that because in the Yongle dynasty, there was no King Qi who commanded a hundred thousand southwest troops to guard the border, and the current King Qi is still supervising the country in Jinling City.

Daming needs to invest a huge amount of military expenditure in the Annan area every year. Those bastard chieftains and foreign races will admit defeat if they can't beat them.

This is because of the prosperity of Yongle and the strong national strength of Ming Dynasty, which makes it not so prominent.

But there will be a day when Daming weakens. At that time, what should Daming do?
But if the Southwest Army defeated the imperial army, it would make Zhu Di even more frustrated.

How will it develop in the future?

King Qi led the Southwest Army, sent troops from Annan, conquered Jinling City, first stabilized the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and then continued northward to usurp the throne?
Although there is only one example of the great unification from the south to the north in the past and present, it is not without exception. This person is... Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang!

Isn't it too much for future generations to learn from their ancestors?

It would be even more terrifying if King Qi didn't replicate the achievements of his ancestors.

Because if that were the case, the situation would change... King Qi ascended the throne in Jinling City, and the emperor of Shuntian Mansion would be Jiajing, one country with two emperors, and the Ming Dynasty divided and ruled!

This is the situation that Zhu Di least wants to see!
[After the army sent troops, Prince Qi's Mansion guarding the southwest seemed to be sitting firmly on Mount Tai, without any response. 】

[In July, the imperial army occupied the Aizi River and captured more than ten soldiers from the Southwest Army. On the [-]th, the imperial army and the Southwest Army held a small-scale battle. Withdrew more than ten miles.In September, the imperial army attacked the eastern capital of Annan with all its strength, and achieved a great victory. After this battle, the Ming army had regained the northern part of Annan. 】

[The imperial court was full of jubilation. They did not expect that the prestigious Prince Qi's Mansion would be so vulnerable, and the imperial army's offensive was retreating steadily.Some people say that hundreds of years have passed, and the Southwest no longer has the demeanor of King Qi Wu of the past, and the current Prince Qi's mansion is a mess. 】

[And you don't agree with this sentence, as the imperial army advances, you feel more and more uneasy. 】

[The current King Qi is the fifth generation King Qi Zhu Youxie, the great-great-grandson of King Qi Wu Zhu Gaoxuan.Do you still remember that in the tenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Youxie, who was still the son of King Qi, led the [-] Southwest Army to quell the coastal pirates that troubled the court with a flick of his fingers. Fame! 】

[You have a secret letter to Xu Yande, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, Ding Guogong: "I heard that the army said that those who are easy to get to the southwest, be careful not to believe it, and you will lose if you believe it. Don't you see that the former Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, buried [-] troops in Mobei. Lion You should try your best to fight the rabbit. Master Qi is not a rabbit but a fierce tiger. You should be more cautious. Only in this way can you win every battle. Because of the cunning of King Qi, the expedition to the southwest is thousands of miles away. Be careful? You are the commander, if you are careful, you will win, and if you are not careful, you will lose. It is advisable to purge the team, observe the movements of the soldiers, and draw up strategies to win the victory."]

【You want to use this to remind Xu Yande, don't underestimate King Qi, and use your troops with caution. 】

【Xu Yande listened to your words, started to slow down the march, acted carefully, and advanced the army step by step.It was only in November that they marched tens of miles north of Qi Wangfu, the western capital, Xu Yande laughed and said: "This is victory!"]

[And you also relax and think about whether you have any military talent, even the mighty Prince Qi's mansion was beaten to the door so easily. 】

Zhu Di, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has experience as a top general, has a serious face: "There is a problem."

This scene is very similar to the strategy Mahamu used when Zhu Di conquered Wala in the north!
Please enter the urn!

Zhu Di's intuition told him that what lies ahead of the imperial army is not the Prince Qi's Mansion which is at a loss what to do, but a trap that has been ambushed for a long time!
"What's wrong?"

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di suspiciously.

"It's okay." Zhu Di waved his hand, "I'm praising you for combing your hair well today."

Yao Guangxiao stroked his shiny bald head, lost in thought.

You are trying to find fault on purpose, right?
Zhu Di was not in the mood to chat with the old monk, he was focused on watching the scenario simulation.

[At the end of November, you, who were studying the art of immortality in the Qianqing Palace, suddenly received a message-the imperial army was completely wiped out in the Battle of the Western Capital! 】

[You froze in place for a long time, unable to believe the facts: Why did the imperial army suddenly have the upper hand when they were suddenly wiped out! 】

[You are furious and ask what's going on, whether someone lied about the military situation! 】

【They told you that Duke Qian Mu Shaoxun suddenly led an army to mutiny from the rear, while the Southwest Army and Xidu rushed out, attacking from both sides, with fire dragons criss-crossing. 】

[You are a little confused, fire dragon, what is it? 】

[They tell you that as soon as the war started, flames soared into the sky in the camp of the imperial army, and the sound was like thunder, and the southwestern army rushed into the camp of the imperial army with a burst of fire. What the firecracker fires is not iron sand and lead pellets, but a strange cone-shaped copper pellet, which is far more powerful than Daming's firecracker. 】

【Although you didn't understand what the cone-shaped copper shot was, you now understand what a fire dragon is. Isn't this the artillery of the Shenji Camp!But why did the iron ball fired by the Southwest Army's artillery... still explode? 】

[No one knows what these strange weapons of the Southwest Army are. They only know that they easily captured the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, and captured Duke Ding Xu Yande and 30 imperial troops.Shuaiying was overwhelmed, and the 30 imperial troops were leaderless, all of them surrendered and were captured. 】

[You don't believe that Duke Qian has guarded the southwestern border for the country for generations and is loyal to the court.And the Duke of Qian's mansion guarding Yunnan for generations is also a kind of restriction on the Duke of Qi's mansion in the southwest, how could it be possible to rebel and descend to Qi! 】

[The cabinet tells you that this matter is entirely possible! 】

【Gong Qian is not loyal to the world, but the Zhu family.At the beginning, the imperial court did use the Qian State Mansion to check and balance the Qi Wang Mansion, but they seemed to have forgotten that the Qian State Mansion and the Qi Wang Mansion have been adjacent for a hundred years, guarding the southwest side by side. After meeting Emperor Jiajing, they trusted their old neighbor King Qi even more. 】

【You suddenly realize that maybe a hundred years ago, Duke Qian's Mansion has become an ally with Prince Qi's Mansion! 】

[After the change of Tumu Fort that year, Qi Wu Wang Zhu Gaoxuan led the Southwest Army to go out to defend the capital and expedition to Mobei.And when Qi Wu Wang Zhu Gaoxuan left the southwest, the responsibility of guarding the frontier was given to Mu Bin, the second generation of Qian Guogong. What kind of trust is this! 】

[Just because of the chaos at the time, few people noticed this matter, but after the country was at peace, Qi Wu King Zhu Gaoxuan was at the height of the sun, and under the radiance, this matter became obscured and not obvious. 】

[After decades, this secret relationship that was submerged in the water surfaced, but it is too late to regret it now! 】

[I was unwilling to crusade against the imperial army in the Southwest, thinking that this was a battle that should not be fought. After being defeated, countless surrenders were made, and the Qi Palace, which has hundreds of thousands of troops, has changed its shape! 】

Zhu Di calculated that the imperial army might lose, but he didn't expect to lose so badly!

In the blink of an eye, the 30 troops of the imperial court were wiped out!

What's more terrible is that the Southwest Army seems to have no intention of killing, but is focused on recruiting these troops.And the defeated imperial army didn't have any dislike for Prince Qi's mansion, which is also the royal family. They all grew up listening to the story of King Qi Wu's efforts to save the sky. They were unwilling to attack the southwest. Just... down?
This is not to crusade against the southwest, this is clearly to send warmth to King Qi!
The Southwest Army, which was originally not well-managed, received the hundreds of thousands of troops sent by Emperor Jiajing, and there was no suspense in this battle.

Emperor Jiajing amazed Zhu Di in terms of playing tricks and tricks.But in military terms... don't mention it.

It was Emperor Jiajing's biggest mistake to mix political tactics and military operations as the same thing!

In addition, Zhu Di also keenly noticed one thing - weapons.

Weapons of the Southwest Army!
