Chapter 254: The big enemy who helped, the plateau war plan

"General."

"Northern Sapphire has strong soldiers and horses. Going south from Goryeo, the distance is too close and supplies can be made at any time."

"If you want to stop them at sea, you can only rely on typhoons and manpower, which is nothing more than a dream. Let's see below, it is better to use the fort to prevent their landing."

"Although the Ming Dynasty fleet on the southern route is powerful, it is far away from the Ming Dynasty's mainland, and its supplies can only rely on the Ryukyu Three Kingdoms and several naval bases. I thought there was a chance to use the fleet to stop them at sea."

Staff officer Yamamoto Muliang said.

"What Yamamoto said is what a village woman thinks."

"Although Sapphire on the northern front is strong, the battleships are not as good as the southern front. No matter how strong the infantry is, it is useless. It is better to use battleships to attack at sea."

"When you look at the battleships on the southern front from a distance, you can tell that they are all armored ships. Isn't it a case of seeking death in a naval battle with these ships?"

"It's better to use forts to stop them. They won't be able to get ashore anyway."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suddenly slammed the table and announced.

"Both of you, everything you say makes sense."

"idiot!"

Zhu Biao said.

Murakami Ariki retorted.

"enough!"

"Murakami's words are to deceive the general and collaborate with the enemy!"

"Should we start cultivating now?"

Murakami Ariki cursed loudly.

"We amend the affiliation treaty and reduce the benefits and protection that our Ming Dynasty can provide to the affiliated countries. In this way, the so-called Tibetan eminent monks will most likely give up."

"Where are the forts on the southern front that can block the ironclads?"

"Fengxue, the envoy from Tibet and the eminent monk's old friend has arrived at Yingtian Mansion. How do you plan to make him give up surrendering to the Ming Dynasty?"

"This is simple."

Yamamoto Mumuang retorted.

He felt that he was so smart. No matter what he did, the situation would never be perfect, but he suddenly found a flaw.

Jinling City.

"Bagaya Road!"

"That's better than sending the battleship to die on the southern front. Cold noodles will not please you!"

"It is true that there are no ironclads on the northern front, but there are many battleships on the northern front. Goryeo's battleships will be drained by Lan Yu. How can we defeat Lan Yu in such a narrow place?"

"In this case, let's just allocate some warships to both sides. Sixty-four points, four on the northern line, will be used to block Lan Yuyu's sea, and six on the southern line will be used to buy time to build the fort."

British government.

"If he really goes all the way and agrees, that would be even better. Anyway, we, Ming Dynasty, will not suffer any loss."

Xiao Han said.

The development of Tibet is a bit difficult. For the current Ming Dynasty, the burden is indeed a bit heavy. The best solution is to take the next step first and then put the development on hold for the time being, unless... someone generously helps with the construction.

"But... if we directly force the old friend to give up, it seems that we cannot achieve the goal of letting Wan Shanhou's group help develop it."

Zhu Biao frowned.

"So... we Ming Dynasty must be strong in this matter."

"We can't show the slightest hint that we, the Ming Dynasty, don't want it. We must express an attitude that we don't want to give them too many benefits, but they must surrender and cannot refuse."

Xiao Han said, took out a memorial from the bookcase and handed it to Zhu Biao.

"This is...the Karmapa, the Mahayana, the Great Compassion?" "The King of Chanhua, the King of Protectors, the King of Praise, the King of Assistant Teaching, the King of Chan?"

Zhu Biao looked at the list of awards on the memorial and was a little confused.

"I guess that kid from Queen Wanshan must be more anxious than us now."

"After all, once Tibet surrenders to the Ming Dynasty, the only direction they can go out is to the west. The huge Liang Kingdom will be made dumplings by the Ming Dynasty. What do you think will happen to Queen Wan Shan in this case? What to do?"

Xiao Han chuckled.

"If I were the Queen of Ten Thousand Mountains."

"We will definitely send more people to work carefully to find out the information, and send envoys in advance. Once the Ming Dynasty accepts the surrender of the first Tibetan King, he will win over one regardless of the cost..."

Zhu Biao couldn't help but his eyes lit up as he spoke.

"What you mean is that if we issue a reward with great fanfare and this news spreads, the agents sent out by Queen Wanshan must think that Tibet will completely surrender to our Ming Dynasty."

"In order to ensure that they can win the loyalty of at least one Tibetan king, the envoy from the Queen of Wanshan will definitely have a lot of autonomy. If they get this news, they will go directly to the Tibetan king to negotiate terms without having time to discuss it carefully. "

"In this case, the King of Tibet, who had doubts and did not want to completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty, would definitely ask for an exorbitant price to pay back the money. In the end, Queen Wanshan became the one who was wronged for developing Tibet."

Zhu Biao rubbed his hands and said.

"Ah."

"Yes, that's right."

Xiao Han nodded slightly.

"But... what if all the five kings of Tibet defect to Queen Wanshan, and Queen Wanshan really develops Tibet regardless of the cost?"

"With the topography of Tibet, it will be difficult for us to capture Wanshanhou."

Zhu Biao immediately frowned slightly.

"impossible!"

"What kind of strength does he have after thousands of mountains, and he still develops Tibet?"

"If our Ming Dynasty wants to develop all the territory of the Five Kings, it will be difficult for us. Why should he?"

"I guess the power given to the envoy by Queen Wanshan is to accept the allegiance of the two kings of Tibet at most and shut out the remaining three kings. This is the limit of what they can develop without the economy collapsing."

"In this case, in order to protect themselves, the remaining three kings can only come back and continue negotiating terms with our Ming Dynasty to avoid being annexed by others."

"At that time, our Ming Dynasty will have the absolute initiative to win over other Tibetan kings. As long as we issue more announcements about the development of Tibet, write some memorials about the military value of the Tibetan Plateau, and do some things to promote commercial and industrial construction. look.

Tell me, what will Empress Wan Shan think after reading it? "

Xiao Han smiled confidently and raised the corners of his mouth.

"I'm afraid that our Ming Dynasty is angry because he grabbed the territory of two Tibetan kingdoms. He wants to drive them out completely on the plateau, block their strategic space at any cost, condescendingly attack his Liang Kingdom."

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said.

"so what."

Xiao Han chuckled.

"So Wanshanhou will definitely develop it to the maximum extent regardless of the cost, stabilize the two plateau Tibetan kingdoms, and find ways to penetrate influence into the other three countries."

Zhu Biao's eyes shone.

"That's right. If you pay a small amount of money, you can attract thousands of people to dig into the bottomless pit of plateau development."

"This will continue to weaken the national power of the Liang State behind Wanshan, and it will be unable to interfere with the two countries established by the Ming Dynasty in the south. At that time, we will only have to play tricks on the plateau to gather food and troops for our neighbors, and then let the south help us contain Wanshan. Most of the troops behind the mountain, and this Tibetan land, aren’t they being developed for the Ming Dynasty?”

"This is called the Plateau War Plan!"

Xiao Han said, picked up the brush, and drew a large circle on the map representing the plateau Tibetan area.
