Chapter 720: Barbarian Horn
The Imperial Study. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Li San had just left with his front feet, and Niu Ben arrived after a while.
When he returned, he sent someone to inform Niu Ben to come here.
When he arrived in the imperial study, Niu Ben saluted and laughed, and he said; "Your Majesty, in the future, I saw Zhu Sansi's younger brother Zhu Wuliu and others pressing a group of Westerners to go to the palace, saying that they were spies......"
While laughing, Niu Ben told him about the cause and effect.
"Hahaha, that's interesting." Regarding this matter, Xiao Ming just laughed it off, not to mention punishing Zhu Wuliu and others in order to appease these Dutchmen.
On the contrary, he wanted to praise them, they were very vigilant, and he was too lazy to do such things as flattery to the outside and cruelty to the inside.
The two laughed casually, Xiao Ming got to the point, he called Niu Ben this time for the Golden Horde.
For him, this unfriendly neighbor in the north has always been a serious trouble, and every day he does not get rid of it, he will not be at peace for a day.
Although he needs to recuperate now, and he doesn't want to fight the barbarians for the time being, war is never a matter of personal will.
The barbarians don't give him time to recuperate enough strength, in fact, the barbarians also see his weakness, so they are very active during this time.
They have been looking for a breakthrough on the front line of the Great Wall, hoping to cross many passes and directly enter the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
"You must also know about the barbarians, now the barbarians are constantly picking quarrels and provoking trouble on the border, which makes me very worried, now the Great Chongqing Country is in ruins, what is needed is a stable environment, if the barbarian iron horse penetrates into the territory of the Great Chongqing Country, it will be a disaster for the Great Chongqing Country." Xiao Minglang said.
Niu Ben's eyes were deep, and he said; "The last general understands that the barbarian iron horses come and go like the wind, and if we plunder in the territory of Dayu Kingdom, we will have no choice."
After a pause, he continued: "The generals have also read the battle report, according to them, this year the barbarians have frozen to death more cattle and sheep than in previous years, these five or six years in a row, the barbarians have had a famine, and many clansmen have starved to death, so this year's barbarian cavalry is more aggressive than in previous years, and this war may be inevitable." “
Xiao Ming's expression was solemn, the current barbarians were no longer simple nomads, after having artillery, he believed that the current barbarians were even stronger than the Tartars at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
After controlling the Silk Road over the years, the barbarians are much richer than the Tatars, and the barbarians already have artillery, so it is definitely not an easy war if the barbarian army comes to attack.
"Even so, we have to keep the enemy out of the country, the Great Yu Kingdom really can't stand the toss, I don't want this just started change to be ruined by the barbarians." Xiao Ming's tone was resolute.
Niu Ben said in a deep voice; "Does the emperor mean that we should attack and defend?"
"Well, that's right, you can directly reach the area of Changbai Mountain from Beisha City in Goryeo, which is the most densely populated place for barbarians, if you take Beisha City and build this city into a fortress, the barbarians will be equal to being attacked on their backs."
"It's just that this Beisha City is the city of Goryeo, does the emperor want to fight Goryeo at the same time? Moreover, now that the Wa Kingdom occupies the general territory of Goryeo, it is likely that we will continue to move the Wa Kingdom south, and then we will face the Wa Musketeers. ”
Niu Ben worried.
"Goryeo is already at war with us!" Xiao Ming walked to the map with Niu Ben, "Now that Goryeo climbed out of the sailor and pretended to be a Japanese to attack the coastal fishing village, how could I bear him, a few days ago Wang Xuan had already gone to Dengzhou with intelligence, and Yue Yun, who got the information, would immediately take the navy to destroy the Goryeo Navy, and then see how arrogant he was in Goryeo." Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and said.
Niu Ben was only in charge of the army, and he didn't know the navy, and he didn't have the right to command, so he said: "Emperor Shengming, attacking Goryeo at this time is tantamount to encircling Wei and saving Zhao, if we attack Goryeo, the barbarians will definitely not sit idly by, so that the barbarians can fight us on the territory of Goryeo."
Xiao Ming nodded, that's exactly what he meant, the Japanese attacked Goryeo, and the barbarians could still turn a blind eye, but if the Great Yu State attacked Goryeo, the barbarians would fight to the death.
In this way, he succeeded in bringing the flames of war to the territory of Goryeo.
"That's what I think, so now we want to occupy Beisha City, this Beisha City is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and one side faces the road, as long as we take Beisha City, we can build this city into an iron barrel, so that we can attack and retreat, and this sea belongs to us."
Niu Ben's face showed a hint of excitement, he was actually not willing to retreat in the pass and defend passively, and now he was very happy to take the initiative to attack.
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, the old minister will gather an elite to rush to Dengzhou and cooperate with Yue Yun to capture Beisha City." Niu Ben said.
"And Juehua Island."
Xiao Ming reminded that the plan for Juehua Island had already been proposed, which was a small island in the sea of Beisha City, which was once the place where Mao Wenlong was stationed in the Ming Dynasty, and also went deep into the hinterland of the barbarians.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Niu Ben's eyes were resolute, after waiting for so many years, they finally had to take the initiative to clean up the barbarians, although the purpose of this time was only to reduce the pressure on the pass.
……
Shengdu, where the barbarian golden tent is located.
Compared with last year, the situation in Shengdu this year is even worse than before, and the cattle and sheep of the Chinese people who have been frozen to death in the cold winter are everywhere.
Now the whole of Shengdu is shrouded in a hunger panic, and many people have starved to death these days.
"Father Khan, not only the cattle and sheep on the grassland have been frozen to death, but now the food of the tribesmen who cultivate the fields in Changbai Mountain has also frozen to death, if this continues, our tribesmen in the Golden Horde will be starved to death, this bitter cold land in the north is no longer suitable for the tribesmen to live, we must go south to find warm pastures for them."
Bei Shan knelt on the ground, and in front of him was a middle-aged man with a fierce face, he was the Heavenly Khan Dolgo of the barbarians.
The Vultures were also nervous, and with them came his four brothers, all of whom were all the sons of Dolgo.
This time, Wushu Guxian did not oppose Bei Shan, his tribe also suffered heavy losses this winter, he said: "Bei Shan is right, now we must go south, the Great Yu Kingdom now wants to trap us in this bitter cold place." “
Dolgo's gaze swept over his six sons, who, having spent his life fighting and expanding the territory of the Golden Horde by a third, could no longer bear the humiliation.
So he nodded slowly.
……
Dengzhou, the Navy is in a state of fanaticism.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, they didn't help much in this northern war, and now they finally have room to play.
After three days of preparation, Yue Yun boarded the battleship Emperor, looking at the forty-eight battleships assembled in the military port, Yue Yun suddenly felt a heroic feeling in his heart, this time it was their navy's turn to show their faces.
