Chapter 653: The country is prosperous and the people are rich, and the soldiers can move
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao immediately got up and went to the map, and looked at the place marked Ertzis River.
"The Rakshasa Kingdom is finally about to launch troops!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao said this and then ordered: "The Privy Council is ready for war immediately!"
"yes!"
Sun Chuanting replied.
"There is no good thing to have a great country in the north, so it must be destroyed!"
Lu Xiangsheng started talking at this time.
Zhu Youxiao pointed out: "That's right! Although the expansion of the south is more profitable and naval warfare saves more troops than land warfare, if the north is unstable, the entire Ming Dynasty will be threatened at any time. In recent years, you and the Duke of Heguo were in the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion to raise soldiers. The court has repeatedly suppressed the extravagant trend, allowing wealth to accumulate in the hands of the treasury and common people, so that the country is prosperous and the people are rich today! But we cannot learn from the Song Dynasty. If the wealth is strong, we will not strengthen the army, and hope to exchange peace for annual tribute!"
"What Your Majesty said is that if you raise troops for a thousand days, the imperial court has not been idle in military affairs over the years, and even has been dispatching troops to the Anxi Protectorate's Office to train troops. So far, the southwest has not sent troops to Uszang, and has opened up the connection between India and our Ming Dynasty on land."
Sun Chuanting replied at this time.
"Looking at the whole world, the basic situation is:
The Rakshasa Kingdom in the north was unwilling to see my Ming Dynasty expanding in Siberia and the Western Regions;
In India, the Mughal dynasty survived and its country was not far away;
In the south of our Ming Dynasty, there were many vassal states, and some of them had gradually become rich, but they did not have much power yet;
In the East, Korea, Japan has an agent of our Ming Dynasty. Although it is quite powerful, it is just taking advantage of our Ming Dynasty;
There is no threat to the northeast!"
"It can be said that destroying the Rakshasa Kingdom first is the most necessary thing!"
Zhu Youxiao said.
"To completely destroy the Rakshasa Kingdom, we need to make a long-term plan and we are not impatient!"
"Just like destroying India, you can't eat it in one bite. You still have to advance step by step, occupy a land, build a city, transform a tribe, and migrate a group of Han people to settle down. Military occupation is ahead and civilized occupation is behind. Only in this way can we completely become our Han family after years!"
Lu Xiangsheng said.
"There are a large number of regular troops in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the national defense soldiers used in defenses in various places, there are a total of 500,000, and they all originated from the guards of the Ming Dynasty. They are the imperial army of the Ming Dynasty. They are orderly, strict military disciplines, and excellent equipment. More importantly, the cultural level is very high. They are either noble royal families or pure Han people from Qingyuan Family with a strong sense of honor. However, if so many soldiers destroy the Rakshasa Kingdom and guard the cities of various places, it is not enough. They may be defeated by the Rakshasa Kingdom, which is familiar with local geography!"
Sun Chuanting also started talking and said, "So, I am wondering whether the country of Rakshasa can take the initiative to mobilize troops to attack us and use a plan to destroy its main force. In this way, it will be more certain to annex the country of Rakshasa in the future!"
"This is a solution. I ordered you to be the three-sided commander, to control the army of the east, north and west, and to let the governors of various provinces cooperate with you. You should go to the Anxi Protectorate Office first and discuss with the Duke of Heguo how to design a large-scale annihilation of the main force of the Rakshasa Kingdom, so that it will greatly damage its vitality, and mobilize the entire country's army as a result!"
Zhu Youchao talked about Sun Chuanting.
The next battle with the Rakshasa Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty was considered a national war. In this case, Zhu Youxiao had to temporarily delegate power, so that Sun Chuanting, who was good at commanding and strategic arrangements of the large corps, had a lot of power temporarily.
...
"We will go some more and draw the geography near the mountain ahead, which will definitely be useful in the future."
The fifth prince Zhu Cizhuo should be the first child of the Ming Dynasty royal family to come to the Ural Mountains.
At this time, he stood by a small river not far from here under the escort of the Western Expedition Army of the Anxi Protectorate, under the escort of Wu Ya, who was standing by a small river not far from here, looking at the Ural Mountain in front of him, and talking to Wu Ya.
"Um!"
Wuya nodded.
Zhu Cizhuo couldn't help but glance at Wuya, and then walked towards Ural Mountain.
Wu Ya followed, pinched the gun in her hand tightly, and looked back a few times from time to time.
But just next time, Wu Ya looked back a few times, and when she turned her head, she found that Zhu Cizhuo was standing in front of her, still staring at her.
Wu Ya couldn't help but feel panic, then lowered her eyelids, stopped and didn't say anything.
"I'll just call you a mute!"
"Don't you know to dissuade me? This place has penetrated into the hinterland of Rakshasa Kingdom, which is very dangerous. And Rakshasa Kingdom is still frequently adding troops here?"
Zhu Cizhuo said something to Wuya angrily, then turned around and continued walking into the deep mountains of Ural.
Wu Ya still didn't persuade Zhu Cizhuo to go back, but just took her men to continue to follow Zhu Cizhuo.
Therefore, Zhu Cizhuo then crossed the Ural Mountains and came to the Volga River Basin.
“It’s really warm here!”
Zhu Cizhuo asked Wu Ya as he spoke: "What do you think?"
Wu Ya said "yes".
Seeing that she just said no, Zhu Cizhuo had the urge to spread Wu Ya's red lips apart.
But Zhu Cizhuo still held back. He was worried that he would anger Wu Ya and cause an accident by the other party.
"Thermometer!"
Zhu Cizhuo gave an order to the person accompanying him at this time.
The Ming Dynasty developed an instrument for measuring climate temperature early on, and Zhu Cizhuo can naturally measure the climate in these places now.
"The temperature difference between the east and west of Ural Mountain is very big! If you don't come here in person, you still don't know. If the Ming Dynasty wants to launch a war in the Rakshasa Kingdom in the future, it will be fine as long as you cross the Ural Mountain."
Zhu Cizhuo said that, after continuing to observe for a few days, he found out the food storage point of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the Volga River before he set off to prepare to return to the Anxi Protectorate.
"There is a sound of horse hooves!"
However, on the way back, Zhu Cizhuo encountered a large number of Rakshasa soldiers, and he started to speak to Wu Ya nervously.
"Prepare for combat!"
Only then did Wuya speak out and issue the latest order.
Zhu Cizhuo grabbed her arm and whispered: "What kind of battle do you do? I know that you dream of fighting with the Chahars who defected to the Rakshasa people to avenge your relatives! Therefore, you wish to follow me to go deep into the Rakshasa Kingdom and fight to find the Rakshasa people. Even if they are all killed, it doesn't matter. It's better to stay in the Anxi Protectorate's House and Guardian. As for the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty completely destroying the Rakshasa Kingdom, you think it has nothing to do with you. Even if you and your silence are all dead, it will not affect the overall situation! However, people cannot be too selfish. Have you ever thought about the relatives of these people under your command? Do you have the heart to let them die in vain and make their relatives sad?"
"Also, I don't want to die here!"
"I!"
Wu Ya looked at Zhu Cizhuo in shock, and was about to speak, but Zhu Cizhuo said first: "Go into the mountain immediately and go back along the mountain! The key is to send the picture I drew back!"
"obedient!"
Zhu Cizhuo said and added something to Wu Ya.
Wu Ya glanced at him angrily.
Zhu Cizhuo raised his mouth slightly and got on the horse first.
"Get on the horse and go into the mountain!"
Seeing this, Wu Ya had to get on her horse and gave a loud command.
"yes!"
Then, all the Ming troops who followed came boarded their horses and rode their horses to a mountain called Sayanling.
"There are people ahead! Chase!"
At this time, the Cossacks of the Rakshasa Kingdom also found Zhu Cizhuo and Wu Ya and others after riding their horses.
Chapter completed!
