Chapter 19: The Strategy of Breaking North Korea

Of course there is an indescribable reason, that is, Cao Yi and Meng Ying are of the same generation.

Meng Ying is now in her sixties, and she is in her seventies in a daze.

Zhu Qizhen did not plan to let Meng Ying go to war again. He could not lead troops to fight at the age of his age. However, there was no problem in taking charge of the cabinet.

But Cao Yi can't do it anymore.

In Zhu Qizhen's design, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet should be separated from the Governor's Office of the Five Army to achieve the principle of mutual checks and balances. It was just a plan to facilitate reforms before, and the Governor of the Five Army was not a place for retirement. Every general who could Governor of the Five Army must be in his year of fighting.

Therefore, Cao Yi is old and can no longer stay in this position for long. Zhu Qizhen is willing to give this veteran a merit of destroying the country as the last battle in his life.

Zhu Qizhen said: "This matter is left to the Old General Cao. Please pay more attention to it. If that day really comes, you will ask the Old General Cao to take action."

Cao Yi was overjoyed and said, "The old minister understands."

Zhu Qizhen said: "So, according to the meaning of the Old General Cao, how should we fight this battle?"

Cao Yi thought for a moment and said, "With the current financial resources of the court, we must fight quickly and decide quickly, and it is not suitable for a long time. In my opinion, I will be in the early army and Liaodong Town to form the Yalu River and attack the Yalu River. I think the traitor Li family has also fought a war, so they must rely on the natural danger of the Yalu River as their backing, and they are heavily troops here."

"Then use thousands of cavalry in Haixi to break into northwest of North Korea and go straight to Seoul. However, the mountain road is steep, and the traitor Li will be prepared. As for whether it is successful or not, I don't know. I should send Yulin, Yongwei, Shenji, Shooting, and the four camps to join the power of the navy to enter Jianghua Road and attack Seoul."

"The rebel Li family is unpopular, and it is already the limit that can be achieved when gathering troops on the Yalu River in haste. If the Li thief is weak, I will break it to the Yalu River. If he has the power to fight, I will wait for the Haixi army to appear in Pyongyang and stop the Li thief's retreat. If both Li thief can block it, then it depends on the fourth camp's heart-wrenching attack."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart that it is much more convenient for big countries to bully small countries.

Cao Yi’s so-called strategy is actually just a conspiracy.

According to the news from within North Korea, Li Jiang is now only controlling the surrounding area of ​​Seoul. It will take some time for him to control the entire North Korea, because of the sudden intervention of the Ming Dynasty, there are signs of intensification of the internal struggle between North Korea.

So if the army enters North Korea within one year, as Cao Yi said, the biggest possibility is that Li Jiang has no time to gather the troops from all over the country to compete. Even if he can compete, he will just be holding on to the Yalu River and defending the Yalu River.

Facing Cao Yi's offensive, he was exhausted.

Not to mention guarding against the two troops of Haixi and the Navy.

Especially the navy, he can defend Ganghwa Island and Seoul. However, the navy broke into the three southern routes of North Korea and the army entered North Korea through the water route. How could Li Jiang resist?

This is the strategy of a big country bullying a small country. There are countless choices in its arsenal of weapons, but small countries only have one choice.

"Okay. Let's go down and prepare." Zhu Qizhen said: "By the way, it is said that the general officer of the shipping company Wang Ying entered Beijing."

Although Zhu Qizhen said he would not attack North Korea, everyone here knew that the attack on North Korea was a foregone conclusion, just sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, I have a word."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Please speak with the old general."

Cao Yi said: "I have been in Liaodong for a long time and are familiar with the weather in Liaodong. The bitter and cold places in Liaodong are in winter. It is ice and snowy. It only starts to melt after spring. When it melts, the earth is rejuvenated and it is muddy and cannot reach a large army. Therefore, if you want to use troops in Liaodong, it is best to snow from April to October every year, and even in some years, in October. Please give me a clear guide."

Zhu Qizhen felt a stern and said, "I understand."

He understood Cao Yi’s implication. No matter what, North Korea is also a big country. Even though it seems that North Korea is a hit, he dare not expect to destroy North Korea within a few months. So, in the end, he sent troops in March and April this year, or he had to wait for next year.

It's already February, so there's not much time left for Zhu Qizhen.

If you send troops next year, what will happen in North Korea happen if you prepare for Li Wang for a year? It’s hard to say. If you don’t say anything else, it will definitely be ten times more difficult than this year’s battle.

After Zhu Qizhen saw these people away, he paced back and forth, and finally paused suddenly, making up his mind that he had decided on this battle.

Don’t miss the opportunity and never come again.

After Zhu Qizhen made up his mind, he didn't think much about it. There was still the last money in the inner transportation warehouse. If it didn't work, it would be too late to think about other methods.

You can fight even if you have money. If you really don’t have money, you can’t fight?

Zhu Qizhen just didn't want to use money to pay for it. After all, it's easy to say because of food to the enemy, but if you really do it, it's blood and tears.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and asked, "Where is King Hui now?"

Fan Hong said: "King of Huang should be at the Arrow Platform."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen became interested and said, "Go and take a look."

After King Hui got married, he moved out of the palace. However, Zhu Qizhen took care of this younger brother. Although it was inconvenient for King Hui of the Forbidden City to enter, King Hui of the Palace City was free to enter and exit without restrictions.

The so-called "the superior has something to like, the subordinate must follow it.

Zhu Qizhen practiced archery and horse since he was a child, so King Hui also learned from Zhu Qizhen to practice archery and horse. In Beijing, unless he left the city, a large number of open spaces for riding horses and shooting archery were still found in the palace.

After all, King Hui is the prince. He is in a suspicious place and he is also self-aware and does not want to leave the city at will. He will not feel uncomfortable, and the East Factory is not comfortable.

So I often come to the palace.

Of course, it may not be that I wanted to get close to Zhu Qizhen.

After all, Zhu Qiyu knew very well that his future was to be held in the hands of his brother. For the sake of his future, he would naturally show more in front of the emperor's elder brother.

Zhu Qizhen came to the Arrow Terrace, and he had to pass through the Zhonghai Sea. Later, he was a little west of Zhongnanhai. Before he came to the Arrow Terrace, he saw two horses galloping, with an adult and a child on it.

Zhu Qizhen looked over from a distance and frowned. However, it was the prince Zhu Jianjun who was actually shooting arrows, and his uncle and nephew seemed to be competing, shooting on the target.

Overall, Zhu Qiyu is naturally better. Zhu Jianjun is still young after all and has not grown up. What he is riding is not a war horse, but a docile mare.

"Nothing." Zhu Qizhen shouted fiercely.

After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Jianjun got off the horse and came to Zhu Qizhen, saluting and saying, "Greetings to the emperor brother." "Greetings to the emperor."

Zhu Qizhen said to Zhu Jianjun coldly: "Have you never read the "Book of Filial Piety"? What do you mean by filial piety?"

Zhu Jianjun is now twelve years old. He has grown up and is a child of this age. He is caught by me now. He can only say dejectedly: "The body, hair, skin, and parents, and dare not hurt them. It is the beginning of filial piety. He has established himself and practiced his own way and made famous in future generations to show his parents. The end of filial piety. Filial piety begins with serving his parents, serving the king, and finally establishes himself."

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's not that I don't let you ride a horse. Now that your body has not yet grown up, you can't control a horse. Being cared for your own body is the first priority of filial piety. Don't you know that I will give you a good horse in a few years."

"Really." Zhu Jianjun suddenly looked up and said.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Of course it is true, but it is true that you have to copy the "Book of Filial Piety". Not many, just ten times."

"Ah-----" Zhu Jianjun said.

Zhu Qizhen ignored him and said, "Tell the queen about this and let the queen check his homework."

"Yes." Fan Hong immediately agreed in a low voice.

Zhu Jianjun's face became even more ugly.

Zhu Qizhen was busy with government affairs and saw that his children had less time, so the queen was more worried. Therefore, Zhu Qizhen rarely scolded him when he saw several sons and daughters, but the queen was punished from time to time, and for a moment he became a strict mother and kind father.

So Zhu Jianjun is even more afraid of his mother.

"The emperor brother, there is no need." Zhu Qiyu said carefully: "The prince is just a little playful."

Zhu Qizhen glared at Zhu Qiyu fiercely and said, "I haven't said you yet."
