"What does the prince want? To defeat Abatai in Huainan, or to make Jiannu never dare to invade the Central Plains again from now on!"

After just a few polite words, Mao Chengzhi directly said these words.

The reason why he was so straightforward was precisely because Prince De had actually met him.

In fact, even Mao Chengzhi was unsure when he decided to cross the river to visit Prince De.

Although Nanjing and Jiangbei are separated by a river, when many things are reported, I don’t know how they will be interpreted by others. After all, people will spread more and change things. Especially the fact that Zhu Guoqiang beheaded the magistrate of Taoyuan County.

, after it spread to Nanjing, it immediately caused an uproar in the six ministries. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when has there been such a domineering person? Even if the emperor kills civil servants, he cannot just kill them.

But when the news came to Mao Chengzhi, he shouted "Good kill". From then on, he paid attention to Prince De's actions. After hearing about his killing of generals and deserters, "De" was everywhere in Nanjing.

Words like "The Crown Prince is a murderer". Officials from the six ministries in Nanjing all wrote letters of impeachment. This was also spread among the imperial students in Nanjing. Mao Chengdou, who approved of Crown Prince De's killing of officials, naturally became an outlier among them, and even

I even had a dispute with my classmates because of this!

It was under this situation that Mao Chengzhi made a decision - to bring the young master to Jiangbei and join Prince De. This was not only for the future of the young master, but also for the old commander.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, in the end, the key to being reused in Prince De was to show his ability. Mao Chengzhi, a military commander, was not one to beat around the bush. After he said these words in a straight-forward manner, he became even more worried.

I became uneasy.

Is he singing in that play?

Zhu Guoqiang, who was originally curious about the identity of his former Dongjiang general, looked at Mao Chengzhi curiously. As Mao Wenlong's adopted son, he was able to abandon his official position and go to Mao Wenlong's hometown to raise the son of his late master. Apart from anything else, such a loyal man is indeed extremely loyal.

It was rare, especially when Mao Wenlong was an imperial prisoner.

"Then tell me, what's the difference between the two?"

"Back to the Master, Chengzhi is a rough man and doesn't know how to beat around the bush, so I only have one sentence: Why did Jiannu never dare to join the invaders when Mao Shuai was alive? After Mao Shuai was killed by a man named Yuan, Jiannu immediately

Just break through the wall and enter the border?"

Does this need an explanation?

The location of Phi Island says it all.

"At that time, Mao Shuai was in Dongjiang. Although his strength was not enough to destroy the Jiannu slaves, his troops were enough to contain the Nurhachi army. Although they were insufficient, there was absolutely no problem in containing them. This achievement was enough to ensure that the Central Plains would not be invaded by foreign enemies for the time being. Therefore, as long as Dongjiang Town is there, Jiannu

The slaves will never join the invaders. Once Dongjiang Town is gone, the slaves will have no worries anymore! Oh, what a pity. If Dongjiang existed in our Ming Dynasty, why would the slaves be invaded thousands of miles away!"

Although Zhu Guoqiang did not mention Mao Wenlong, he was able to explain the key point in one sentence, which still made Mao Chengzhi sigh.

"Your Majesty is wise! In the next generation, I would like to express my gratitude to you, Dongjiang, for rectifying your name!"

After that, he stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I just said that if the Crown Prince only wanted to defeat Abatai in Huainan, then with the elite soldiers and generals under his command, it would be easy to defeat Abatai. But what happens next? Even if he is a slave.

He was severely damaged in Huainan, and he will definitely invade again in the future. The reason is because Jiannu regards our Ming Dynasty as a hunting ground and is used to our Ming Dynasty's plunder. Therefore, from the following point of view, even the prince only wants to defeat Abatai

In Huainan, I am afraid it will be difficult to prevent the Jian slaves from invading the invaders again in the future. At worst, they will not be as far away as the invaders, and they will not go deep alone! Then rob the capital, rob Tianjin Guards, enter a few hundred miles, and then leave after robbing.

Can the Ming Dynasty move its capital?"

Mao Chengzhi's words made Zhu Guoqiang frown slightly. Indeed, it would be difficult to deal with them just once and then leave. They withdrew without waiting for Ming Dynasty to mobilize their troops.

"Oh, so in your opinion, what should we do?"

"I have a way. Although it may not be as good as the illustrious military achievements of Abatai and Huainan, it can at least guarantee that from now on, Jiannu will never dare to invade the Central Plains again!"

"oh?"

Not to mention Zhu Guoqiang, even Mao Chengdou was a little confused. Didn't the eldest brother originally say that he wanted to give a huge contribution to Prince De?

"tell me the story,"

Zhu Guoqiang looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, and Liu Hanyi also looked at this person with interest. This person's tone was so loud! "Does the prince know how many people there are in Jiannu?"

"110,000, up to 130,000!"

In the Battle of Songjin next year, Jiannu mobilized an army of 110,000, almost all of them old and young.

"It's incredible, 120,000 people, that's all!"

Mao Chengzhi, who was very familiar with the inside story of the establishment of slaves, then said.

"This time the slaves invaded the Central Plains. According to the newspaper, there were 100,000 troops. This is definitely an exaggeration. Huangtai would not be so stupid. He would send at most half of the troops, which is about 60,000, and then he

He will also lead troops to contain the Jinzhou area. In order to create the illusion of great power, he will also use all the troops of the country. In this way, I can guarantee with my head that the hinterland of Liaodong must be extremely empty and even undefended now.

The reason why I dare to do this is because I have no worries and no need to worry about the safety of the rear. If the prince can attack Huanglong directly, no one in Liaodong can defeat the army led by the prince!"

"Liaodong is so far away, how can we still fly there?"

Zhu Guoqiang ignored Liu Hanyi's rhetorical question, but stared at Mao Chengzhi and asked directly.

"If I guess correctly, you want me to go to Liaodong by sea, right?"

"The prince is wise. The reason why Jian Nu dares to use all the troops in the country is because he does not need to worry about the safety of the rear. If the prince enters Liaodong by sea, the second best thing is to corrupt Liaodong. The most important thing is that Jian Nu will not dare to do it again from now on."

If he wants to invade the Central Plains, I can also enter Liaodong by sea."

Mao Chengzhi raised his head and replied,

"If the prince is willing, I am willing to be the pioneer and lead the way for the prince! I am the naval commander of Dongjiang Town, and the sea route to Liaodong is all in the general's mind!"

"Your Majesty, this plan won't work, the risk is too great!"

"Yes, the risk of traveling thousands of miles by sea is much worse than marching to fight!"

Facing the opposition from everyone, Zhu Guoqiang, who frowned, just said silently after being silent for a long time.

"Everyone, I remember that when I read "Zuo Zhuan" earlier, I saw a sentence that said, "If I can go, the enemy can go too. This is exactly the situation now."

Looking at the people in the hall, Zhu Guoqiang said loudly.
