Chapter 232 We need a reason(1/2)
"What did you say?"
Zhu Qizhen walked over with a wrench, his face full of incredible feelings.
"My brother asked to go on an envoy to Annan to quell the war between Annan and Chameng!"
Zhu Qiyu has made up his mind and has a firm attitude.
"you……"
Zhu Qizhen thought about it, threw the wrench, and then said, "Follow me to the imperial study room!"
When the two brothers came to the imperial study, Zhu Qizhen asked impatiently: "How do you know, I am going to Annan?"
"ah?"
Zhu Qiyu was stunned, how could I know you were going to Annan?
I mean, I want to go to Annan!
Zhu Qizhen said again: "You are in the capital and the State Administration, why are you running around? I will set off soon. If you run away again, who will supervise the State Administration?"
"My brother...my brother..."
Zhu Qiyu didn't know what to do for a moment. You are the emperor. If you don't stay in the Forbidden City, you will run away and lose your shadow at any time. Do you still blame me?
I'm just a vassal king, okay?
"Do you want to say that the world is so big, you want to go and see it?"
Zhu Qiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "This is exactly what I mean!"
Zhu Qizhen was silent for a while before saying, "Well, since you have this intention, I won't stop you. But do you know what the current situation in Annan Kingdom is? If I agree to your mission to Annan, how do you plan to carry out? Is there any detailed plan?"
Regarding the war between Annan Kingdom and Chameng Kingdom, Zhu Qizhen sent the Prince of Jing'an on the surface to serve as an envoy, but in fact he had already made a secret arrangement.
Now Zhang Fu is still in Yunnan and sends envoys to negotiate, but the results are not ideal.
In fact, this result was expected.
Because the Ming Dynasty wanted to send troops, it needed a legitimate reason.
Otherwise, if two little brothers fight, what's the matter with you, the eldest brother, just fucking each other?
When the negotiations collapse and Annanguo disobeys his elder brother's mediation, I'm sorry, the elder brother has to take action!
When Emperor Taizong conquered Annan, he used this routine.
Even before Zhang Fu left Beijing, all strategies and tactics had been determined how to send troops, where to attack, supply routes, and all strategies and tactics were determined.
If Zhu Qiyu doesn't come to petition, Zhu Qizhen is ready to leave.
"My brother is preparing to lead a delegation to Annan to have a stake in the interests of King Chen Qing of Annan. At the same time, he ordered the Prince of Jing'an and Duke of Guizhou to collect troops from Yunnan and Guizhou. If the negotiations break down, he will be ready to send troops at any time!"
"You just run over like this. When someone is detained, Zhang Fu and others will definitely be afraid to act rashly and dare not act rashly. What should you do then?"
Zhu Qiyu said righteously: "If the descendants of Annan Kingdom violated the enemy, our Ming Dynasty would be justified in sending troops. If we can take the opportunity to conquer Jiaozhi, we will die without regrets!"
Zhu Qizhen could see that the little brother was really anxious.
Perhaps it was because he saw with his own eyes that the Ming Dynasty was constantly moving forward, and the passion in his heart was ignited, and he wanted to make a breakthrough in the world by himself.
Even if he is not Zhu Qiyu or the King of the Ming Dynasty, any 20-year-old passionate young man has his own dreams.
This is also a good thing. Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the system of vassal kings, the descendants of Zhu family in various places have become burdens to the court for a hundred years. Especially after the Jingnan period, vassal kings did not take charge of the troops and completely became a pig-raising model.
Now that the new policy has been fully launched, the Ming Dynasty does not need idle people, it is time to attack the vassal kings in various places.
As the leader of the vassal kings in the world, it would be a good thing if I could take this head well.
"Wain!"
Huai'en was waiting outside, and when he heard the summons, he hurried in.
"I'm here!"
"Take the map of Annan Kingdom!"
"yes!"
When the map was opened, Zhu Qiyu was surprised to find that it seemed that the emperor had already prepared.
The deployment of troops of the Annan Kingdom and Champaign nations and the Ming Dynasty's march route were clearly marked.
No wonder the emperor said he was about to leave, it turned out that he had planned it!
"The Prince of Jing'an is in Yunnan. The nearest route to attack Annan from here, but the problem is that the mountains are high and dense forests are not suitable for large-scale combat, so..."
Zhu Qizhen stroked his finger to the east and said, "The real killer is at the sea!"
"maritime?"
"Yes, my brother can lead his troops out of Tianjin Wei to sail along the coastline, bypass Annanguo, and arrive in Chameng!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned and said, "If you attack from the sea, I am worried that the imperial court now has insufficient treasure ships and cannot transport the brigade of troops."
"There is no need for a large group of troops to attack Annan. It is enough to have the Shenji Camp!"
The reconstruction of the three major camps has been completed, and the fifth military camps have become conventional combat troops and have gradually been equipped with new firearms.
The biggest improvement in combat effectiveness is the Three Thousand Battalions, and now they have become special combat troops. They have reached the Orthodox Fifteenth Style of All Staff, and have extremely strong individual combat capabilities.
Not long ago, when Jiangnan pacified the Japanese invasion, the Three Thousand Battalions defeated the Japanese pirates ten times their own, so they had no power to fight back. Their combat power can be described as terrifying.
In fact, the Shenji Camp has also changed a lot, and it is equipped with twenty heavy flying tiger cannons, fifty light flying tiger cannons, and a large number of new firearms such as mines and grenades.
When the battle against the northern part of the Mo River was the firepower of the Shenji Camp was the biggest advantage of the Ming army.
However, for such a single-army unit, multiple troops need to cooperate in combat, otherwise it will be easily targeted.
Zhu Qizhen seemed to see his younger brother's doubts and explained: "The key to soldiers is not the essence. The Shenji Camp is ready. Going to sea from Tianjin Port and arrives at Chameng first. At the same time, the King of Jing'an is in charge and the Duke of Qian is the deputy general. Advance from Yunnan, the main force of Annan will definitely go north to block the attack. At this time, you only need to take the Shenji Camp to attack Qinghua and you can take it down in one fell swoop!"
Zhu Qizhen has discussed the plan to send troops with Li Zhen, Chen Ying and others many times.
This battle did not aim at annihilation, but to completely defeat the capital of Annan. Therefore, siege troops were needed.
If the Three Thousand Battalions still take the lead, it is naturally no problem to defeat the main force of Annan on the front. However, if these people are huddled in the city to defend, it will become a protracted battle.
In this way, the advantages of the Ming army will be greatly reduced.
When the northern desert was attacked, the role of cavalry was particularly important because most of the Mongols lived nomadic.
To attack Annan, you need to conquer cities and plunder the land. At this time, it is time for the Shenji Camp to take action!
Zhu Qiyu was shocked, but unexpectedly, he had already set the marching route.
He even gave up the regular troops and directly activated the Shenji Camp.
Zhu Qiyu was not worried about the combat power of Shenji Camp, especially the power of the new artillery, just...
"Brother, our army is not familiar with the Annan terrain, and the Shenji Camp's strategy is mainly for long-range strikes. If it is targeted by the enemy and ambushed, what should we do?"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Is the soldiers and horses of Chameng a decoration?"
After saying this, Zhu Qiyu understood.
The Ming Dynasty is for you Chameng Country, so you can’t stand by and watch. You should take the lead and give you supplies.
What, you disagree?
Then stop beating Annan, kill you first!
After thinking about this section, Zhu Qiyu suddenly became excited.
"Since that's the case, when will I leave?"
"Um……"
Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and said, "Don't you plan to think about it again?"
"The marching route formulated by the emperor is perfect. I only need to implement it, no need to consider it!"
"As things like fighting... the battlefield changes rapidly, and you cannot act completely according to the plan. When you should make a decision, you must make a quick decision. You cannot ask me for instructions from thousands of miles away. When you should make a move, you must naturally adapt..."
"My brother understands that there is still Duke Jingguo. When I arrive in Chameng, I will discuss matters of all sizes and big things.
Seeing that the little brother was full of confidence, Zhu Qizhen said, "Okay, go back and prepare!"
Zhu Qiyu saluted: "My brother said goodbye!"
Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, returned from Mobei and was promoted to Duke Jingguo.
Since returning from the Northern Expedition, Chen Ying has been so suffocated.
The weapons and equipment were updated very quickly, but there was no war!
Seeing these new firearms are amazing when they are tested, they will not be wasted if they are not pulled out for actual combat?
Although the emperor has formulated the route to conquer Annan, the Prince of Jing'an has been going for half a year and the battle has not started yet. I am anxious!
So, after receiving the order, Chen Ying rushed to Prince Hui's mansion.
"Your Highness, when will you set out?"
Zhu Qiyu was having a meal. Seeing that Chen Ying was more anxious than himself, he said, "At least let me finish the meal!"
