Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 560
By the time Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang and others arrived at Gu's Bieyuan on Lushan Mountain, it was already late afternoon, when the scorching sun was in the sky.

Fortunately, it was still very cool on the top of Mount Lu. When Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang saw Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao who was lying on the rocking chair was even covered with a summer quilt.

"All here?" Zhu Youxiao asked squinting his eyes. After staying in Lushan for the past few days, he was always thinking about how to win the treasured land of Europa and how to set fire to the Palace of Versailles.

But the calmness he has cultivated over the years has made his desire become unremarkable.

Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang replied in unison: "All are here."

"Then let's start." Zhu Youxiao straightened up from the rocking chair, put his legs on the ground, and jumped up.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao's personal attendant, Liu Rushi, was not there, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly supported Zhu Youxiao, and Yang Sichang also ran over tremblingly, holding Zhu Youxiao's other arm: "Your Majesty, be careful."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and walked towards the auditorium with the help of these two old guys who were much older than himself. Along the way, the trees were like shade, and the tall banyan trees almost blocked half of the dome, and the yellow leaves that fell from time to time Spinning and falling on the road.

The road surface is the newly popular asphalt road. This kind of road was originally only used for the national roads of the Ming Dynasty, but because the Lushan Mountain is where the rich and powerful are concentrated, the asphalt road is also used in this area.

Zhu Youxiao felt soft and solid when he stepped on it. Against the backdrop of the brocade clusters, it looked more and more green like a stream of new tents in March, flowing directly to the base of the stone wall in front.

"Wen Ruo, I remember that you were a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli, right?"

Zhu Youxiao asked Yang Sichang, the old man who had passed the seventy-year-old staggered slightly, turned around and bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister is the laurel of ten thousand years and thirty-eight years."

"You can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties. Jiandou was the second year of Tianqi, and you have been an official for forty years. Time flies like smoke. It's not easy."

Zhu Youxiao continued to move forward as he spoke, secretly thinking that if the direction of the entire Ming Dynasty had not been changed in the seventh year of the apocalypse, these two people would not be where they are today. The strategy of spreading the net on six corners and ten sides will fail completely, and he himself will end up committing suicide and martyrdom.

But in this world, the two became their right-hand men, and directly expanded their territory to Siberia, Australia, and the coast of the Caspian Sea.

Due to the difference of the emperor, the life trajectory of the minister has also changed.

When they arrived at the auditorium, other military officials had already taken their seats. When Zhu Youxiao, Lu Xiangsheng, and Yang Sichang came, everyone stood up and saluted. Zhu Youxiao pressed his hand and shouted: "Pingshen."

Only then did the ministers settle down, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang waited for Zhu Youxiao to sit at the top, and then took the top positions on the left and right. Lu Xiangsheng was on the left and Yang Sichang was on the right.

"Europa is the only region other than the Ottoman Empire that can pose a certain challenge to the global unification of our Ming Dynasty. It is also the largest market and the richest place. However, due to cultural differences and the deliberate resistance of some regimes and churches in Europa, we The trade in Europa has not been fully opened, and in order to achieve the goal of Ming Dynasty's unification of the world, this Europa must be conquered and brought under my Ming rule, so that this Europa can truly become our consumer market, tax revenue Only then will it become the real income of our Ming Dynasty court, otherwise, no matter how developed Europa’s trade is, it will also make wedding clothes for Europa’s country, and promote the development of other countries.”

Yang Sichang personally introduced the necessity of conquering Europa to Zhu Youxiao, other military officials and senior generals present.

In fact, everyone is well aware of this. After the empire has developed to this day, basically no one is unwilling to expand the empire's territory, let alone the hawks in the military system. It depends on how much success can be achieved on the battlefield. Once the horses are freed from Nanshan and the knives and guns are put into storage, they can only rescue disasters in peacetime. They work hard for a drill, but there is no challenge.

Therefore, without waiting for Yang Sichang's detailed analysis, he unanimously passed the decision to destroy Europa.

Then the next step is to discuss how to fight Europa.

Since the seven years since the apocalypse, Daming has never met any decent and powerful enemies, and basically every battle must be won. Therefore, although the soldiers are a little arrogant, they have never had any fear of the Western Fan.

Even when Lu Xiangsheng talked about the general situation of Europa, he didn't pay much attention to the strength of the so-called Frangji Armada and the red-haired ghost.

"Today, our Ming army has more than 120 million regular troops, of which more than [-] are deployed in the local border and important strategic areas, more than [-] are in the Indochina Peninsula, and more than [-] are stationed in the Caspian Sea and the Ottoman Empire and the Raksha Kingdom. The military confrontation means that the army that can be mobilized at present is only more than [-] troops, and among the five fleets of the navy, except the South China Sea Fleet is responsible for maintaining law and order in the South China Sea, the four fleets of the North Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the Ocean Ocean have a total of more than [-] troops. Enter the Europa region from the Suez region to fight against the navies of France, Holland and France;

That is to say, once the war to conquer Europe starts, we can only mobilize about 60 troops now, plus some newly formed air force and artillery units, the total is about 70; fortunately, the European countries are good at water warfare It is shorter than the land battle, and now the army that I can mobilize in Ming Dynasty is mostly the navy, so it is just right. "

After Lu Xiangsheng analyzed every word, Zhu Youxiao asked the opinions of other members of the military department, and finally said: "Europa is going to be fought, but the strength of the European countries is not weak, and the defense depth is not weak. If If we attack rashly, we are afraid that there will be a situation where we will return without success. In my opinion, it is better to attack Italy first. The Holy See of Italy is now the name of the master of Europa. Europa is different from my Ming Dynasty. Its Holy See Above the country, if my Ming Dynasty attacks Europa in the future, if Europa wants to jointly deal with my Ming Dynasty, the most able organizer must be the Pope, so we might as well come to capture the thief first and capture the king first. Once the Holy See is destroyed, it is equivalent to strangling What do you think of the opportunity for Western countries to unite against our Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, the officials of Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang hurriedly called His Majesty wise.

And Zhu Youxiao just smiled, because in fact, no matter how big it is, Europa will lose. In the face of absolute strength, any strategy and tactics are false, and now Zhu Youxiao wants to attack the Holy See first to shorten the time to conquer Europa as much as possible. It's just time.
