Chapter 219 The terrifying background of Prince Qi’s Mansion
[In the 14th year of Zhengtong, August 15th, this day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is obviously a great day for reunion, but a disaster occurred in the north of the Ming Dynasty. 】
[The 400,000 Ming army led by Emperor Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Dynasty were completely annihilated in Tumubao. The military generals and relatives suffered a disaster, and all the civil servants and wise ministers also died in Tumubao. Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Oara people, and four generations of people were saved.
The established foundation was overturned in one fell swoop.】
[You don’t quite understand how this battle was fought. Before the Xuanfu war, the Jinyiwei had already clearly investigated the deployment of the fourth Wala army. With an absolute advantage, they also occupied the condescending position in intelligence. It wouldn’t be possible to change a pig.
Zhu Qizhen lost the winnable battle.】
[After the Oara people annihilated the elite Ming army in one fell swoop, the Oara Grand Master first led the grassland coalition aggressively and marched all the way to the capital gate. He was ambitious. He wanted to become the second Genghis Khan and re-establish the vast empire of the Mongols! ]
[At this time, you received a letter from the capital, which was handwritten by Yu Qian, who had just been promoted to Minister of War.]
[The Ming Dynasty was not the cowardly former Song Dynasty. The ministers headed by Yu Qian refused to move south to temporarily avoid the power of Wala.]
[At Yu Qian’s suggestion, the imperial court decided to summon the two capitals, Henan to prepare troops, Shandong and Yingtian Prefecture to prepare Japanese troops along the coast, Jiangbei and Shuntian Prefectures to transport grain, and urgently go to the capital. At the same time, the provincial vassal kings and Qin Wang were summoned to guard
The capital, fight to the death with the Wala people.】
[The troops in the two capitals, Henan, Shandong, Jiangbei and other places had no problem and rushed to the capital at full speed, but there was a problem in summoning the vassal kings of the provinces. 】
[It is not that the provincial vassal kings are timid, they also want to send troops to defend the capital, but they are willing but unable. The Yongle Dynasty continued the Jianwen Dynasty's policy of reducing vassal vassals. Although the vassal kings of the provinces were not worried about their lives, they did not have the military power in their hands.
They were all handed over honestly. The vassal kings of each province are now just mascots waiting to die, and they have no troops at all.】
When Chongzhen was overthrown, Prince Qi's Mansion had developed into the unparalleled Qi Ming Empire, which occupied the entire Western territory.
[You hold 100,000 Southwest troops and are stationed in Annan Province, building an indestructible wall for the Ming Dynasty in the Southwest, like a magic needle that fixes the sea. As long as the Palace of Prince Qi of the Southwest is there, the countries in the Southwest will not dare to offend the Ming Dynasty. 】
After one has secured the throne, it can be said that it is quite clever to eliminate the three bodyguards of these vassal kings through various reasons, or simply depose them as common people.
[You have built the 100,000-strong Southwest Army into a nearly modern force. All members are equipped with weapons that are hundreds of years beyond the current world. There is only a thin line between them and the "AK Legion". 】
Yu Qian's army had been crippled after the battle to defend the capital, and could not stop King Qi's elite and powerful Southwest Army. After Desheng's victory, King Qi's prestige reached its peak, meeting all the conditions needed to usurp the throne.
Even Zhu Qiyu had already laid down and was preparing to write the edict for Zen status.
At that time, Zhu Di, who was imitating Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen, was puzzled. Could it be that King Qi really had no ambition at all and was just a rotten salted fish? But what he did was not like a salted fish at all, but more like diligence.
A model worker, why didn’t he want to be the emperor?
The answer is simple. The benefits he gets from being an emperor are not even as good as the benefits he gets from being a local emperor in the southwest.
He really didn't want to be the emperor, he just rushed to the throne and usurped the throne reluctantly.
Although this eliminated the hidden danger of feudal kings causing rebellion, it also planted the seeds of another hidden danger.
[You have to win this battle and bring a hundred years of peace to Prince Qi’s Mansion in Southwest China!] Zhu Di suddenly realized something: "That's it."
——The scene of the Hongwu dynasty when the vassals beat the foreigners to a pulp no longer exists. When the Ming Dynasty faced threats, these vassals all became helpless wastes.
[You know that Yu Qian can win this battle and continue the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, but you still choose to lead the Southwest Army northward to aid the capital.]
In the capital at that time, if King Qi had the idea of usurping the throne, no one could stop him.
[It’s just that the imperial court doesn’t know that the southwestern countries have disappeared now. They only exist in name but have actually been occupied by Prince Qi’s Mansion. 】
Because Zhu Zhanqi went to kill the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di soon realized a new question: "How did King Qi know this?"
He is the son of Zhu Di and a prince in the lineage of Emperor Taizong Wen. It is reasonable to assume that he will inherit the throne in terms of seniority.
At this time, Zhu Qizhen, the real official of the Ming Dynasty, was still raising horses on the grassland. As for Zhu Qiyu, he was at best a temporary pseudo-emperor. The ministers, including Yu Qian, did not regard Zhu Qiyu as the real emperor at all. King Qi was in the desert
After Peking University defeated Wala and protected the Ming Dynasty, his prestige soared. If he wanted to become emperor at this time, not only would he not face opposition, but he would gain the support of a large number of people.
[Yu Qian wants to win this battle and save the Ming Dynasty.]
[In your layout, this is an extremely critical move.]
If the Ming Dynasty is over at this time, the barrier to protect the southwest from the wind and rain will be gone. Then the palace of Prince Qi in the southwest will face a worse situation, and King Qi will have no choice but to seize the throne.
[There is no other way. At this point, Yu Qian can only give it a try. 】
[You have an elite "Southwestern Special Forces" among the elite. Although there are only two thousand people, they are formed by the most hard-core sergeants selected from the Southwest Army. They are equipped with the most advanced weapons in the Southwest. They can defeat the enemy in battle.
Actual activities include harassment, sabotage, assassination and kidnapping, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, intelligence theft, psychological war propaganda, special security, and anti-subversion, counter-intelligence, anti-sneak attack and anti-hijacking activities. The organization is flexible, the personnel are capable, well-equipped, mobile and well-trained
, extremely powerful in combat.]
It sounds outrageous, but it's true.
[The main force of the Ming Army has been exterminated in Tumubao. Now the remaining troops are either reserves or grain transport troops. Their combat effectiveness is incomparable with the elite of the main force. The 400,000 elite troops of the Ming Army have all been extinct. What can these reserves do?
Can we defeat the Prairie Alliance Army?】
[You have a complete intelligence agency "Southwest CIA", which consists of twelve divisions, Southwest Military Intelligence Division, Southwest Coast Intelligence Division, Southwest Defense Intelligence Division, Southwest Intelligence Comprehensive Analysis Division, Southwest Financial Intelligence Analysis Division, Southwest Investigation Division, Southwest
Investigation Department...]
When Jianwen reduced the vassal status, King Zhu Di of Yan rebelled and usurped the throne. As a result, when he became emperor, he cut down the feudal vassal even more harshly than Jianwen, and directly lost the military power of the vassal kings.
[If he loses the fight, then Yu Qian will be a sinner for the ages, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be buried for him.]
Zhu Di looked a little embarrassed and touched the tip of his nose.
[Yu Qian, the Minister of War, did not know this. The meaning of his handwriting was simple and clear, that is, he hopes that you will lead the Southwest Army and send troops north to assist the capital.]
【You are the last vassal king in charge of the army in the Ming Dynasty.】
But King Qi refused the throne.
Logically speaking, King Qi should not have any psychological pressure. His seizure of power at this time cannot even be called a usurpation, but it is not a succession.
[But it is not true that there were no vassals that the Ming Dynasty could defeat. 】
[Now Yu Qian is the supreme commander of the Ming Dynasty, and his power has reached the pinnacle of his life. All the armies in the Ming Dynasty must obey his orders. However, Yu Qian has no time to think so much. He is too busy. Although he is already mobilizing various troops,
He shouted very forcefully, but in his heart he actually had no confidence.]
He was the rebel king himself, and he had a grudge against the other vassals in his heart. What if these people followed the example of King Yan back then and started a Jingnan War?
In the same way, when Zhu Di was not firmly on the throne, he expressed his goodwill and gained the support of his brothers by restoring several vassal kings whom Zhu Yun, the feudal emperor Zhu Yun, had cut off.
The weak Ming Dynasty is not worthy of the ambitious and capable King Qi. If he chooses to be the emperor at this time, he will try his best to restore the Ming Dynasty to the Xuande period. He will lead a broken ship that is half submerged and become a galloping hero.
The behemoths of the sea sounded great, but King Qi didn't care about them.
He has always been curious about the battle to defend the capital. King Qi led the army to force Oara back. After taking control of the capital, he did not choose to seize power and usurp the throne.
[Winning this battle, Southwest will no longer have to worry about the pressure brought by the court, and can focus on development, without having to evade and worry.]
He actually already knew the causes and consequences of the Tumu Fort Incident, as well as the outcome of the subsequent battle to defend the capital. This time he simulated it from the perspective of King Qi, and the results were actually the same. Zhu Di cared more about the details and King Qi's
idea.
[The battle was won, and the country of Ming Dynasty was temporarily relieved of the crisis and could continue to breathe.]
He gave up the throne at this time and chose to return to the southwest. He could completely lead this powerful force with the right time, place and people to develop into a magnificent empire. This can be proved from the section simulating Chongzhen.
He only used a simulator to see the situation clearly, and looked at the overall situation from God's perspective, and then he understood these principles. But King Qi was just a blind man walking at night with a lamp on. How did he see the situation so clearly?
Being clear and making the wisest choices?
Zhu Di was shocked by King Qi's long-term vision and foresight in layout.
King Qi: Do you think I'm stupid if I leave the powerful Qi Ming Empire to work for your weak Ming Dynasty?
In the same plot, after Zhu Zhanqi, who imitated the lineage of the Han Dynasty, became emperor, King Qi chose to usurp the throne without hesitation.
If he chooses to usurp power at this time, what will he get in the end?
A Ming Empire was leaking and broken everywhere, and everything it could do was restricted. Although it was a powerful medicine that could heal the Ming Dynasty, the empire was already in pieces before the Ming Dynasty could be cured.
[You have a "Southwestern Artillery Battalion", which was established at a huge cost and is equipped with various types of artillery developed by the Southwest Academy of Sciences. There are heavy guns with large range of destructive power, as well as light guns that are small and flexible and can be easily controlled by one person.
gun……】
[In twenty-five years, you have built the Southwest Army into a sharp sword that can combat dimensionality reduction in the current era! 】
[This is the terrifying background of Prince Qi’s Mansion in Southwest China!]
