Qianqing Palace

Zhu Cixiang, the Shenwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is sitting on a dragon chair, with Sun Chuanting, the governor of Jiliao, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor-general of the Ministry of War, Xuan, sitting on the left and right below!

Sitting next to Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were Zhou Yuji, the leader of the Shenwu Army, Huang Degong, the leader of the Huben Army, Cao Bianjiao, the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Sun Yingyuan, the leader of the Longteng Army, and Lu Xiangkun, the leader of the Tianxiong Army.

Zhu Cixiang felt very lucky to be able to travel through time and become the crown prince before several of the Ming Dynasty pillars were killed in battle.

Now with the presence of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Cixiang's pressure can be reduced a lot.

Zhu Cixiang knew very well that if he handed over the National Defense Army to these two men, Zhu Cixiang could only provide support from behind, and both of them could put down the rogue bandits and regain Liaodong.

However, for the sake of safety, Zhu Cixiang did not intend to let go this time. How could he destroy Jiannu without the participation of Emperor Shenwu?

His eyes swept across the faces of all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said:

"Everyone, today I am holding a military meeting in Qianqing Palace. Do you know why?"

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng looked at each other, then cupped their hands and said:

"If what I have predicted is correct, it should be to liberate Liaodong and kill the Jiannu slaves. Please pass on your Majesty's decree. I am willing to dedicate myself to the restoration of the Ming Dynasty!"

The generals of the National Guard Army immediately stood up and saluted:

"Your Majesty is mighty. The National Guard Army has been waiting for this day for a long time. Please lead your Majesty to personally lead the troops to regain Shenyang and kill all the slaves!"

As a minister, under normal circumstances, I would never dare to bring up the word "imperial conquest".

Once something unexpected happens to Emperor Shenwu, the Ming Dynasty, which has just started to improve, may once again fall into catastrophe!

However, in the eyes of Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and other national defenders, the weapons of the national defenders were so sharp that there was no risk at all for Emperor Shenwu to lead a personal expedition.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded, waving his hands to everyone, gesturing for them to sit down:

"Everyone sit down, as you expected, I summoned you today to discuss how to destroy the Jian slaves. If Sun Qing and Lu Qing have any suggestions on this, just speak up as long as you think of it, don't have any worries!"

Sun Chuanting thought for a moment and cupped his hands and said:

"The Holy Father has made tactical arrangements a year ago, and I think they are flawless. All we need to do is execute them in accordance with the established tactics, and there is no need to change the plan."

Lu Xiangsheng also nodded and cupped his hands:

"Your Majesty, I and Master Sun have the same opinion. The three-way march planned by the Holy Father last year is definitely one of the best tactics. This can solve the problems of Liaodong and North Korea as quickly as possible."

Both Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting knew that Emperor Shenwu had formulated a plan to attack Jiannu and regain Liaodong years ago, and the Third Route Navy had also formulated relevant combat training.

Once the tactics are changed, it will have a great impact on the navy, and it will take some time to redeploy troops and warships. Now that the Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and strong naval support, it can completely crush the Jiannu with its strength.

Zhu Cixiang nodded and looked at the commanders of the National Defense Army:

"Five commanders of the National Protective Army, your National Protective Army is the absolute main force in the liberation of Liaodong, and it is also the army on the front line. I want to know what you think?"

Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, Cao Bianjiao and Lu Xiangkun hurriedly stood up and gave Emperor Shenwu a military salute:

"I have no objections. As the National Protector of the Ming Dynasty, wherever Your Majesty points your finger, the National Protector of the Ming Dynasty will attack without hesitation!"

Zhu Cixi slowly stood up from the dragon chair and said:

"Since all of you have unanimously agreed to the battle plan I made years ago, let's implement it according to the original plan and go back to prepare. The war will officially begin on April 1st against Jiannu Third Road. I want to see how long Jiannu can hold on!"

"According to the order!"

Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and other commanders of the national defense army immediately followed the order and exited the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Cixi then summoned Li Fang, the commander-in-chief who refused to accept the Ming Dynasty.

Li Fang, the commander of Ye Bu Shu, was the original member of the East Palace Guards. With Li Fang's qualifications, he could serve as the commander-in-chief of any battalion of the National Guard Army.

Zhu Cihong knew the importance of Ye Bu Shu and did not transfer Li Fang. He allowed him to continue to serve as the commander of Ye Bu Shu and expand the scope of Ye Bu Shu.

Nowadays, the number of people not to be collected on the Great Ming Dynasty has reached 2,000, and the military strength is close to the total number of soldiers in a town!

"Your Majesty, Li Fang, comes to see you!"

Li Fang entered the Qianqing Palace and immediately bowed and saluted:

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said:

"No gifts, please give me a seat!"

Li Fang hurriedly thanked her:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Cixi looked at his favorite general and said:

"Li Fang, the army officially sent out troops to exterminate the Jian slaves on April 1st. Tell us about the latest information from the investigation!"

"According to the order!"

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence from the various groups under my command who were working around the clock, after the defeated troops of Dorgon and Duduo of Jiannu Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner reunited, they once wiped out a small tribe of about 100 households in the Tumut tribe of Mongolia. .

After burning the yurt, they threw down some Ming army armor and tried to blame the Ming army. Only two Mongolians managed to escape. These two fled to the Great Wall and were captured by Ye Buhao.

Also, the Dorgon brothers led Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner and encountered a snowstorm on the road. When the two white flags arrived in Shenyang, Zhengbai Banner lost more than 1,300 people and Xiangbai Banner lost more than 1,800 people.

Although the Two White Banners did not enter the customs, the total losses still reached more than 4,000 people. These more than 4,000 people were Manchurian soldiers. Han and Mongolian army flags were not included. The Two White Banners lost almost half of their troops.

The extreme weather from the end of last year to February this year caused huge losses to the Jiannu slaves who lacked fur coats and heating fuel. In addition to the serious losses of the Manchurian soldiers under the Two White Flags, as many as 90,000 Jiannu slaves froze to death throughout the territory, which had a very serious impact on the Jiannu slaves. A serious blow.

The death toll caused by extreme cold weather may seem small in the populous Ming Dynasty, but it was a devastating disaster for the Jiannu slaves with a total population of just over 300,000.

It was almost impossible for the Jiannu to rely on the mainland to restore the population and replenish the army in a short period of time, unless they recruited young men from Mongolia and Korea.

However, the extreme weather also caused huge losses to various Mongolian tribes. Cattle, sheep, horses, and herdsmen froze to death and starved to death.

Nowadays, the slaves are no longer what they used to be. Their advantage over the Ming Dynasty no longer exists. The Mongols are not stupid. When the slaves are weak, they may not obey Huang Taiji's orders.

The problem in North Korea is equally serious. Hundreds of thousands of people in North Korea froze and starved to death due to the inhumane plunder of the slaves.

Common people and military uprisings occurred in many places across North Korea. Although they were bloody suppressed by the Korean soldiers who established slaves and pro-slaves, because the slaves were unpopular, the actual results were very limited.

Now North Korea is in a mess, and the timid and incompetent King Li Zong of North Korea has long been confused and doesn't know how to deal with it.

The slave-building general Sony wanted to lead his troops to completely suppress the various rebel armies. In the end, due to limited troops, he no longer dared to act rashly. Now the Korean people are looking forward to the arrival of the heavenly army every day..."

…

Li Fang, the commander of Ye Bu Suu, reported all the information that Ye Bu Suu had gathered to Emperor Shenwu. Zhu Cihong was overjoyed when he heard this.

Because the Ming Dynasty closed Zhangjiakou to stop all trade with the Mongols, and got rid of the eight traitors and profiteers. After encountering the heavy snow a year ago, Zhu Cixiang had already thought about the fate of the slaves and the Mongols. Like the Ming Dynasty, he started to invite everyone from the prince to supervise the country.
