Chapter 76: The First Step to Save Blue Jade
Running the Daning Division is definitely a good move.
First of all, if the defense line in the north of the Ming Dynasty can be pushed to the hinterland of the grassland for hundreds of miles, Beiping will no longer be a national gate. Moreover, with the control of the Monan grassland, the Tatars lost the foundation for development, and it was difficult to gather more than 100,000 troops to threaten the nine sides.
Secondly, the Daning Dusi and Liaodong were connected to support each other, and they could prevent the Jurchens from becoming bigger.
In addition, the successful cultivation and pastoral mode of Daning Dusi has a strong attraction and assimilation effect on other grassland tribes, not to mention that there are rich coal and iron resources under the land of Daning Dusi, and the value is even more incalculable.
Of course, Liu Chun has selfish intentions, but his selfishness is based on being beneficial to the world...... And Huang Zicheng and his ilk are completely calculating and selfish!
The strategy proposed by Huang Zicheng is actually the same as Fang Xiaoru, and I have to say that the level of the literati around Zhu Biao is like this...... They tried their best to shape Zhu Biao into a benevolent lord, and when the old Zhu died and Zhu Biao succeeded to the throne, they could implement the so-called "benevolent government", so that the officials under the heavy pressure and butcher's knife could take a breath and live a comfortable life.
For the sake of this most noble goal, what long-term, what the world, all stand aside!
Even at the expense of burying the root cause, Lan Yu's dislike of the literati of the East Palace is indeed justified.
But the question is, can it be useful to go to Lanyu now?
Can he change Zhu Biao's mind?
Liu Chun expressed strong suspicions, and even if Lan Yu had this weight, would he be willing?
In Lan Yu's heart, he is loyal and loving to the prince Zhu Biao, even if Zhu Biao does something wrong, he will not openly refute it for the sake of the prince's face.
To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a fool!
And since Zhu Biao came to Beiping, he has suppressed Zhu Di intentionally or unintentionally.
Brother and brother Gong are superficial, and it involves deeper things, and the prince may not be willing to let his brother score more...... Thanks to so many official struggle and power plot novels, Liu Chun can already figure out what most people think.
He was ninety percent sure, and it was useless to see Lan Yu.
That guy is a brute bull, for the sake of the prince, he will give up all principles, even if he disagrees with it 100%!
What to do?
Throw in the towel?
After preparing for so long, I almost had to give up at the end of the door, which was even more uncomfortable than eating two catties of fly!
Liu Chun gritted his teeth, bitter and bitter...... He spun his head around and thought of a solution, but the horse suddenly stopped and neighed in terror.
It turned out that in the barracks, the drums were beating loudly, and people were shouting and neighing, so it was not lively.
Lan Yu was ordered to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and to completely eliminate the old opponent who had been fighting for decades!
The officers and men of the army were all rejoicing, and they prepared their horses and weapons, and brought food and baggage, what kind of jerky, fried noodles, and hand oil, hats, boots, and gloves...... It's all produced by Arieskou.
Everyone was elated, the original plan was to send 150,000 troops, but due to the increase in many procurement items, the cost also went up, and only 100,000 could be dispatched.
But some people have estimated that with adequate preparation, these 100,000 people are comparable to the combat power of 200,000 people. Instead of weakening, it strengthened.
"Young Master Liu, it's all your credit!"
Lan Yong greeted him and said with emotion: "By the way, you come here, but what kind of treasure do you want to give us?" ”
Well, in the eyes of this guy, Liu Chun has become a good money boy.
"The baby is gone, but I have a suggestion."
"Oh? What is recommended? Lan Yong asked very seriously, in his eyes, Liu Chun basically had a half-immortal body, and he was convinced of what he said.
"General Lan, as far as I know about the grassland terrain, once you defeat the Tartars, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Puppet Emperor may flee to the direction of Holin, which was the former capital of the Mongol Empire, and the location is very important. If you can divide a partial division and ambush and intercept in advance, you may be able to have unexpected gains. ”
Liu Chun is not talking nonsense, he remembers it right, this time the Blue Jade Northern Expedition achieved unprecedented success, directly destroying the Northern Yuan, capturing and capturing countless people. Only the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty fled, although he was later killed by his subordinates, but after all, it did not fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, which made the victory a lot inferior.
Liu Chun gave the suggestion of intercepting and killing in advance, it is for the possible fish that slip through the net, it depends on whether Lan Yu has this blessing, if he can listen to Liu Chun, he will definitely be able to make immortal achievements!
The two of them were chatting, Lan Yu actually came out on horseback, and when he saw Liu Chun with his godson, he also came over.
"Boy, what are you doing here? Don't you want to go out with Benjue? Lan Yuhao said angrily: "The position in our army, you just open your mouth, and Ben Jue agrees to all of them." ”
This guy is really not joking, Liu Chun grinned, and went out with the army to exterminate the Northern Yuan, who doesn't want to witness the glorious moment when the invincible Mengyuan Empire completely disappeared.
It's a pity that at a young age, I'm afraid he can't stand the pain of the expedition, and it is not Liu Chun's willingness to get mixed with Lan Yu...... There is no way, I can only refuse painfully!
"That Hou Ye, everything I can has been exhausted, and the rest of the things, the kid can't get involved!"
"Humph! Slick! Lan Yu said unceremoniously: "The eldest husband can't carry a three-foot sword, and he is not a hero after all if he goes into battle to kill the enemy." ”
Liu Chun could only smile, "Indeed, the kid is not a good man, he can only do something insignificant, Master Hou ......" Liu Chun said, and took out a thick strategy.
"Please take a look."
Lan Yu took it and took a quick look, only to see it much, and then he showed a happy look.
"You wrote this?"
"That's right, this is the kid's idea of Jing Luo Daning, I want to ask for the opinion of the Hou Ye, if the Hou Ye can agree, go back to the prince's side, and it is easy to speak."
"You want to dedicate it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Lan Yu asked suddenly, his tone was full of surprise, could it be that this kid has figured it out and wants to follow His Royal Highness the Prince?
"Ah, yes!" Liu Chunhan said with a smile: "The prince patrols the border and prepares to build the Daning Division, if you don't hand it over to the prince, who else can you hand it over!" Liu Chun didn't say the next sentence...... Whoever asks the prince not to agree, I can't do it.
Lan Yu happily stroked his palm, "Great, boy, you are right to listen to me, Your Highness is kind and generous, you are a good person, with your talent, when you arrive in the East Palace, you will definitely be appreciated and reused...... I'm about to go on an expedition, and I don't have time to take you to see the prince, so I'll use a seal, and you can go back and persuade His Highness." ”
……
Coming out of Lan Yu's barracks, Liu Chun's heart was pounding, he was telling a big lie!
If Lan Yu knew that he had already found the prince and was rejected by the prince, would he have stamped this seal?
If Lan Yu knew what he was going to do next, would he have carried a knife and cut off his head?
Don't look at Lan Yu's usual laughter and scolding, he is a very good person, but if he annoys him, this is a real tiger, three points more dangerous than Zhu Di!
But after thinking about it again, Lan Yu immediately set out on the expedition, and when he returned, at least in a few months, maybe the matter would have already passed...... It's really a big deal, so he hid far away in advance, so that Lan Yu couldn't find him.
And doing so is good for Sapphire as well...... He was tied to the prince too tightly, and he had a terrifying posture of only the prince in his heart. Lao Zhu certainly doesn't care about Lan Yu, but as soon as the prince dies, the grandson who is young, has poor prestige, and has no close blood relationship, no matter what, he can't control the tiger of Lan Yu, and it becomes inevitable to remove it.
Letting Lan Yu have a dislike with the crown prince in advance is the only chance to protect this last fierce general of the Ming Dynasty.
"Lan Yu, the master can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to you. It's a pity that you're afraid you'll never get it. ”
What is an international ...... Uh, no, what is a good thing that doesn't leave a name!
Liu Chun leaned back with a beautiful tactic and went straight to Zhu Di's residence.
On the day of Lan Yu's oath to go on the expedition, a note in the joint name of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Lan Yu, the Marquis of Yongchang, bypassed the crown prince Zhu Biao and was sent to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles.
The future of Daning Dusi, Liu Chun's plan, and Zhu Di's ambitions...... It's all here.
