Chapter 447: Liu Ruyi, upper, middle and lower three strategies, red and pink military division

Liu Ru continued: "From the point of view of the concubine, the lord can only go to the east, and the Dengzhou Mansion in the east, there is no prince in the east, and his own military strength is not strong, so he can only rely on the support of Dongjiang Town behind him. Dongjiang Town's troops are also limited. As long as the lord continues to attack Dengzhou Mansion, it will inevitably greatly consume the strength of Dongjiang Town. When the army in Dongjiang Town is almost consumed, the lord can move into Dongjiang Town. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ru's eyes lit up slightly, and he said softly: "The master supported Xu Qingluan of the Wenxiang Sect and sold them a large number of weapons, presumably because the Wenxiang Sect and the officials and soldiers of Dongjiang Town killed each other, so as to consume the military strength of Dongjiang Town, right?" ”

Zhang Zhun smiled, noncommittal.

Liu Ru pondered for a moment and continued: "Dongjiang Town is isolated overseas, and unlike other border towns, all supplies need to rely on sea transportation. This obviously greatly limited the strength of Dongjiang Town, and even if it suffered losses, it could not be replenished quickly. At the same time, Dongjiang Town is far away from the imperial court, and there are too many short-sighted people in the imperial court, only thinking that Dongjiang Town consumes money and food in vain, but there is no record of success, and if Dongjiang Town has a big loss, the imperial court may not be willing to make up for it. ”

"My lord's navy is getting stronger and stronger now. At the right time, the old man mobilized the navy from Dengzhou Mansion to the north, first to eliminate the Dengzhou Naval Division, and then cut off the supply of Tianjin Naval Division to Dongjiang Town, and Dongjiang Town naturally languished. The islands inside and outside the Bohai Sea fell into the hands of the lord only a matter of time. ”

"As long as the lord controls Dongjiang Town, there will be a lot of room for maneuver. Whether it is to ask for territory from the Tartars in the north, or from Korea in the east, or to the south, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Liaodong, Korea, and Japan are all under the military authority of the master. If the lord can successfully contain the Tartars and seize Liaodong back, then the lord's foundation will be even more stable. Liaodong is rich and well-known. ”

"The concubine has the courage to say that there are actually many interests that can be exchanged between the lord and the court. The master may not always wear the hat of a thief. For example, if the lord replaces Dongjiang Town and replaces the imperial court to curb the Tartars, the imperial court may not be unwilling. If the lord controls Dongjiang Town, the Tartars will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely allocate a large number of troops to fight against the lord, so that the pressure on the imperial court in the direction of Ningjin will be reduced. This is good for the imperial court. ”

"The land of Qingzhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion is a little smaller, but it is better to be surrounded by the sea on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the master's ability, as long as he runs the business, continues to accumulate materials, and constantly introduces more people from the outside, he can also support the future war. As long as you control Qingzhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion, you can use the sea route to slowly plot Jiangnan. Jiangnan is rich and well-known all over the world. If you can control Jiangnan's financial resources, the master's strength will inevitably be greatly enhanced. ”

Zhang Zhun said with a glittering gaze: "You are from Jiangnan, what do you think about controlling Jiangnan?" ”

Liu Ru said cautiously: "In the opinion of the concubine, there is no need for adults to raise troops in Jiangnan. All dynasties and dynasties controlled Jiangnan, and they all grasped a few key points. The southerners are not good at war, but good at Jia. If you can control Qijia, you don't need to raise troops, and the southerners will be controlled. The concubine is foolish, as long as the lord gradually establishes a chamber of commerce, develops and grows, and gradually controls the economy and trade in Jiangnan. ”

"Specifically, the south of the Yangtze River is rich, the things are rich, the people are outstanding, and the lives of the people are free from the suffering of the north. For them, as long as they can maintain their current life, or their life has improved slightly. What adults have to deal with are the merchants in Jiangnan. To deal with these merchants, the concubine believes that measures should be taken to divide and crack down on co-optation. Strike at a group, neutralize a group, win over a group, and gradually disintegrate it. ”

"The trade in Jiangnan is dominated by water. The so-called water is wealth, and water is the medium. Specifically, it is inseparable from the sea, the Yangtze River and the canal. As long as the old man's warships control the sea, the Yangtze River, and the canal, and prohibit the passage of merchant ships without permission. The merchants in Jiangnan have to deal with the master. Those who know the times are Junjie, and some of them, in order to make profits, will inevitably move closer to the master. For those who are close to the master, the master may wish to focus on cultivation, and gradually control Jiangnan through his relationship. ”

"In fact, there is a good candidate next to the master, and that is Shen Lingfei. She has the background of the Shen family in Suzhou and is very familiar with the big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. In the future, as long as the master's warship controls the waterway, he can ask Shen Lingfei to come forward and interview these big merchants. If they are willing to submit, the lord can naturally let them continue to do business and continue to maintain the prosperity of the family. If you are stubborn and obsessed, you will take iron-blooded measures to get rid of it. With a two-pronged approach, Jiangnan can be flattened. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded with a deep groan.

Liu Ru received Zhang Zhun's encouragement and continued: "The concubine believes that the target of the master's military attack should be on Zheng Zhilong. If the lord wants to control the southeast coast, he can't help but clash with Zheng Zhilong. The interests between the old man and Zheng Zhilong are irreconcilable. Therefore, a major war cannot be avoided. The lord invested a lot of money in the navy, obviously preparing for the big war in the future. ”

"As long as Zheng Zhilong is eliminated and the southeast coast is controlled, all the seaports in the south of the Yangtze River are under the control of the master. Whether a merchant ship goes north to Bohai Bay, east to Japan, or south to Nanyang Manila, it must first obtain the approval of the lord. The merchants of Jiangnan, if they want to do maritime business, must go through the hands of the master. At that time, no matter what measures the master takes, as long as it is not a measure that hurts them very much, they will not be able to resist. ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "One into five taxes, I don't know if they will accept it?" ”

Liu Ru said a little slyly: "People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads." Of course they refuse to accept it now, and it will not be their turn to accept it in the future. The maritime trade is so lucrative that a five-fifty tax is nothing? The ship tax collected by Zheng Zhilong is higher than one into five! Aren't they still giving? ”

Zhang Zhun said with some surprise: "If so, I really can't imagine that you still have a lot of understanding of marine trade!" What you just said already involves the maritime strategic level. That's right, as long as the maritime trade in Jiangnan is controlled, and then the means of dividing and cracking down are adopted, I am not afraid that the merchants in Jiangnan will not give in. What we want from the other party is just the big businessmen of Jiangnan, not the whole of Jiangnan. ”

Liu Ru was a little excited, and a little shy and said: "This is the conclusion that the concubine peeked at the "Basic Knowledge of Navigation" written by the adult, combined with her own research. The concubine didn't know if it was really feasible. The concubine felt that the adults could build a transparent house, lock up all the merchants in Jiangnan, let them see the beautiful world outside, and then make a small opening. If you want to get out of the mouth, you have to pay a commercial tax of 10% and 5%. I think all the people will come out of the house. ”

Zhang Zhun sighed and said: "You really can't underestimate the ancients!" ”

Liu Ru asked in surprise: "Master, what are the ancients?" ”

Zhang Zhun smiled, concealed his leakage, staggered the topic and said: "You just said the best policy, but there is also a middle policy and a lower policy?" ”

Liu Ru was encouraged by Zhang Zhun and said euphemistically: "The central strategy is naturally to develop westward, first attack Shandong, and then wait for the opportunity to seize the Beijing division. The Jingshi is very close to Shandong, and if the timing is right, it is not impossible for the master to take the Jingshi. It's just that, in this way, the old man is under a lot of pressure. The eyes of everyone in the world will be focused on the master. ”

"If the master attacks the Beijing Division, he may be jointly suppressed by the Tartars, the border army and the Shaanxi People's Army. Gyeonggi is the key point of the imperial court, and the imperial court will inevitably demand the kings of Qin from all over the country at all costs. The Ming army from all over the country flocked to gather, and the old man could not take care of the beginning and the end, so I am afraid it would be difficult to succeed. With the master's current strength, he may not be able to parry so many enemies. In case of failure in the attack on Beijing, the imperial court may also unite with the Tartars, or even the Shaanxi People's Army, to encircle and suppress Shandong. At that time, the lord will only have two mansions, and it is still unknown whether he will be able to hold out for a long time under the continuous attack of the wolves. ”

"Besides, the supply of grain and grass in Jingshi depends on the supply of Jiangnan. There are 1 million people in Beijing, and all the grain has to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River. The old man captured the Jingshi, and the Jiangnan Caoyun would inevitably stop. With the current supply capacity of grain and grass for the master, even if he occupies the land of Gyeonggi, I am afraid it will not be able to last long. In Beizhili, Datong, Xuanfu and other places, due to the long-term drought and the ravages of Tartars, most of the land is not harvested, and it is impossible to collect grain nearby. The army is without food and will inevitably collapse. ”

After a slight pause, Liu Ru gently pursed her thin ruddy lips and said in a small voice: "Moreover, if the master directly attacks the Jingshi, he will inevitably become the target of everyone." Once condemned by the world, he will be a high waiter, and I am afraid it will be difficult to justify himself. After all, the banner of the master's "Begging for Adultery" is to punish Yao Cuo, and on the side of the Qing monarch, it is Wen Tiren and these traitors to deal with, rather than directly to the emperor. ”

Zhang Zhun groaned and said, "Then what about the next policy? ”

Liu Ru said: "The next policy is naturally to accept the appeasement of the imperial court, and to be a strong party in peace and stability." The land of Laizhou Mansion is enough for the old man to be a big landlord. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ru smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said a little slyly: "I'm afraid that the old man has always had great ambitions, and he may not be willing to accept appeasement wholeheartedly." The imperial court may not have believed that appeasement could calm the lord. Besides, when there is chaos today, the court, the Tartars, and the people's army, you fight for me, the dragon and the tiger leap, and it is really hard to say who will win in the end. If the imperial court changes hands, the troubled times will come again. ”

"The so-called sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if the lord is in a safe corner, and he is in pleasure, no matter who sits in the country in the future, if it is not good for the lord, with the lord's house, even if he has the ability to defy the sky, I am afraid it will be difficult to support. Jun didn't see the queen of Tang Li and the queen, he didn't want to forge ahead, and tried to be in a safe corner, and in the end he could only helplessly sing when the spring flowers and autumn moon were. ”

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "I am going to rebel." ”

Liu Ru smiled slightly.

After getting along with Zhang Zhun for so long, Liu Ru already knows almost everything about Zhang Zhun's character. Zhang Zhun is not the kind of person who is particularly black-bellied and has a special city government. What he is going to do, the people around him can basically guess. Even more so for a woman as smart as her.

Zhang Zhun's pursuit is obvious, that is, to rebel. Although I don't know why Zhang Zhun must rebel, Zhang Zhun's belief in rebellion is very firm, and the goal is set early on, and what she can change is only the intermediate process. Her fate has been linked to Zhang Zhun's fate, and of course she hopes that Zhang Zhun's path will be steady.

In Liu Ruye's heart, he naturally hoped that Zhang Zhun would take the best policy. Even if Shangce can't create a new dynasty, at least he can stand in an invincible position in the troubled times in the future. If you take the middle or the next strategy, it will be short-lived, like a meteor streaked across the sky and then disappeared. Either it is sweet first and then bitter, and it is peaceful now, and it is regretful in the future.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhun continued to ask, "How is your correspondence with Gu Hengbo recently?" ”

Liu Ru smiled and said: "The rhetoric is gorgeous, the words are unfounded, pointing to Sang and scolding Huai, and I didn't get to the point." The time she spent in Meilou was too long. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said to himself: "The canary in the cage! ”

I secretly felt that my eight thousand taels of silver were worth it. Liu Ru is really Liu Ru is Liu Ru Yes, and the homework for this period of time is not done in vain. A lot of what she just said is really impossible for ordinary people to say. He is a traverser, it is not surprising to have such insight, Liu Ru is an authentic Ming Dynasty person. No wonder among Qin Huai's Bayan, she can rank first. Most of the descendants noticed her style, but they didn't notice her knowledge.

Zhang Zhun Huoran stood up and said in a deep voice: "I decide!" ”

Liu Ru hurriedly stood up and looked at Zhang Zhun with some nervousness.

Zhang Zhun said loudly: "I announce! From now on, you will be my military advisor! ”

Liu Ru looked at him in surprise, a little pleased, and a little uneasy and said: "Master, how can a cheap concubine be a military advisor?" If outsiders knew, it would be a joke. The lord still invites heroes and heroes from all over the world, and finds wise and resourceful people to serve as military advisors. ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "There is a military advisor next to me, what else should I go to?" ”

Liu Ru was about to say something more, but was stopped by Zhang Zhun with a gesture.

Zhang Zhun said eloquently: "You, a military advisor, don't need to be like Zhuge Liang, lead the troops to the front line in person, you can strategize in the rear." At the same time, you don't need to deal with other people, you can do whatever you like. It's okay for you to stay in Aster all day. You can go out and walk if you want. However, if you're going to go out and about, I'm going to have you with a bodyguard. ”
