Chapter 252 Early Launch - Autumn Soldiers on the Battlefield(1/2)
If Hudun Rabbit has had mad cow disease, it is not all.
The reason he chose this time was considered and did not make a decision casually.
The emperor regarded the Hudun Rabbit as a long-term enemy, and the Hudun Rabbit was also guarded against the Ming Dynasty. This is relative and not surprising.
Therefore, it is estimated that Hu Duntu is also worried that the Ming Dynasty will intervene in Mongolian tribes and affect his great cause of unifying Mongolia. When the Jiannu was not destroyed and the Ming army was still unable to take action, it should be considered the right choice.
If this is the case, it will not be so easy to stop Hudun Rabbit from acting.
"Long live, if there were no Nei Khalkha Alliance's help, how much influence would Pingliao be?" Luo Yangxing also felt embarrassed, and the respectful inquiry was accompanied by some temptation.
It’s not that easy to be strong with the Tiger Dun Rabbit, but also wants to borrow the power of the Nei Khalkha Alliance?
Zhu Youxiao did not answer immediately, and he was weighing the pros and cons. If there was no top priority in pacifying Liao slaves, he really didn't want to participate in the war within Mongolia, and the more lively the battle, the better.
From the perspective of strength, the five Neikhal tribes alliances are mostly not opponents of the Chahar tribe. In order to make the weaker Neikhal tribe, it seems that it is not worth the effort before Jiannu was destroyed.
Moreover, it is not certain how much effect it can be on the attack on Jiannu with the power of the Neikhalk Alliance.
Luo Yangxing bowed and waited quietly. He knew that although the emperor was young, he had a clear understanding of the general trend, which was more accurate than the results they had studied intelligence and analyzed and judged every day.
After a while, the emperor seemed to figure it out, his voice calmed down and said slowly: "The information is kept confidential for the time being, and there is no need to inform all parties. Liaodong's actions remain unchanged, but they must be in advance. I will let the Ministry of War write, mobilize people and increase troops to Liaodong."
Luo Yangxing bowed and responded, but was shocked.
It is normal to keep the information confidential, but not to inform the Neikha Alliance? This has a profound meaning. Moreover, if the action remains unchanged, it means that it is necessary to form a coalition with Neikha to launch an attack on Jiannu.
In other words, the emperor ignored Lin Dankhan's actions and did not care about the attacks of the Neikhalk Alliance.
Even formed a coalition with Neikhalkha to attack Jiannu, which also created a good opportunity for Hudun Rabbit.
There are no eternal friends between countries? There are only eternal interests. For the outside world? There is no benevolence, righteousness and morality, and there is no benevolence of women.
Although the five Neikhalk tribes are now considered allies of the Ming Dynasty, they have not made any alliance.
The fact that the Hudun Rabbit wants to attack is also nominally a matter within Mongolia. If the Ming Dynasty wants to intervene, it is not justified in name.
Of course? If Neikhalkha had an offensive and defensive alliance with the Ming Dynasty, or even naturalized inwardly, it would naturally be a different matter.
Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes, sat upright, and strengthened his thoughts.
Perhaps? The military operations of Huduntu can speed up the Ming Dynasty's process of subduing Mongolian tribes. And Jiannu is already surviving? There is no need to worry too much about the Mongolian tribes coming to join us.
The Hudun Rabbit has been quiet for several years, which has enabled the Pingliao plan to be implemented relatively smoothly. Jiannu is in a desperate situation? A large counterattack is imminent, which is also the main reason why Zhu Youxiao dared to indulge the Hudun Rabbit to make trouble.
"The intelligence work of the Mongolian tribes needs to be strengthened." The emperor made a decision, which also means that the Ming Dynasty's attention should be turned to Mongolia? Not all? But it should also focus on it.
The emperor sorted out his thoughts and continued to explain: "The Pacification Department should recruit more naturalized Mongolians, send them out, and spread more the benefits of naturalized Ming Dynasty. Give those Mongolian tribes that were forced by the Tiger Dun Rabbit to have an extra choice."
Strive to naturalize the Mongols and become the people of the Ming Dynasty. Luo Sigong understood it and believed that he would do better and satisfy the emperor.
"Du Zhenyu, Cao Zhenghua has done a good job. You can submit a memorial to recommend them to the promotion of politicians!" The emperor's last words greatly boosted Luo Yangxing and hurriedly bowed to thank him.
The emperor's intention was more obvious, and he intended to enhance his prestige and lay some preparations for his future succession as commander.
After repelling Luo Yangxing, the emperor sat in the imperial chair and thought for a while, and ordered someone to summon Sun Chengzong and others to prepare to conduct court discussions on the advance of the military operation.
The main reason for setting the major counterattack in next winter and spring is to estimate that Jiannu’s food and grass savings were exhausted. However, the situation has changed, and it is feasible to counterattack in advance.
Since military operations were to be advanced, the emperor believed that the battles in southern Liaodong could continue, and the continuous consumption of Jiannu's manpower and material resources was the same as waiting for their materials to be exhausted, or even better.
Faced with the two-sided attacks in southern Liaodong, Jiannu has never concentrated his efforts to launch a large-scale attack. The restraint on all sides is certainly an important factor, and there is not much food and supplies left, which is the main reason.
Unlike the Mongols, Jiannu brought a few more horses and could run long distances while drinking horse milk. They had a strong demand and dependence on food, grass and supplies.
This can be seen from the wars in history. Huang Taiji launched the battle to siege Jinzhou, which was accumulating food and supplies for a year.
Now, the Ming army will no longer give Jiannu a chance to breathe. It will continue to launch and fight continuously, rely on its manpower advantages to attack and harass it one after another, consuming its strength.

The change in the strategy of Ping Liao was only known to the big bosses in the court, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who were going to mobilize the departure, and the front-line generals who would soon receive secret orders and documents from the Ministry of War.
The people in the capital are attracted by the big news about flying in the sky, and the streets are all about this topic, and will spread to the distance with pedestrians coming and going from north to south. In addition, the "Da Ming Forum" newspaper has fueled the fire, so there is no problem with the hot search.
Not only teahouses, restaurants and streets, but also news of hot air balloons flying ascendant also reached Shaoyingyuan.
After all, children usually read newspapers, which is the emperor's request to care about national affairs and current affairs news since childhood.
In order to make the Academy of Sciences famous, the emperor was well prepared and printed pictures of hot air balloons in newspapers. Although it was labor-intensive, it was worth it.
"It's Kongming Lantern!" May stretched out his hand and lit the pictures in the newspaper, not surprised, and said, "It's only when you do it too big that you can bring people into the air."
After saying that, the little girl curled her lips and checked her tree intently to see if there were any bugs to destroy it.
Zhao Dabao, who came to offer treasure, blinked his eyes and smiled, "May is smart, you can tell what's going on at a glance."
May dipped a little stick in a little white ash, blocked the wormhole on the tree trunk, and said, "You read more books. This hot air balloon has been introduced. Although it is just a few simple sentences and is not so detailed, if you think about it carefully, you will understand it."
Zhao Dabao scratched his head, and his face showed a bitter look. Reading a book was a headache. After a pause, he asked expectantly: "May, I can make Kongming Lanterns, do you want it?"
"You?" Mayyue looked up at Zhao Dabao in surprise, and smiled with a pursed lips: "Okay, your hands are quite good, and the grasshopper cage is well-woven."
Zhao Dabao grinned and smiled calmly. Although he always tried to please May, who looked like his younger sister, he rarely got the good face of May.
After May finished speaking, he was busy with his own affairs again and soon finished it. He looked at the big tree with satisfaction and smiled happily.
"I'm relieved now." May clapped his hands and said to Dashu with his face raised, "Long live my wish after the final exam. It will take at least several months to see you, so there is no need to worry about bugs coming to bite you again."
Zhao Dabao didn't know what May's wish was, but when he heard that she seemed to be leaving for a few months, his good mood immediately became dark.
After his thick lips opened a few times, Zhao Dabao didn't ask any questions, silently put away the white ash he brought and returned to campus in May.
"Hey!" The two of them were walking when a greeting sound came.
On the grass beside the road, there are stone tables and stone benches. Two girls, one big and one small, are reading and studying, and they are also sending the greetings.
"I'm just calling you!" Bumubutai frowned and waved his hand, "Come here to help us see what this sentence means?"
Mayyue looked at the two girls with some displeasure. The older one was about 14 or 15 years old, so why was there no politeness at all?
"Yu'er, be polite." Hai Lanzhu scolded the girl lightly and waved with a smile: "Two classmates, can you come here to give me some advice? My girl's words are unscrupulous, please forgive me."
Bumubutai frowned and pouted, thinking: People have names, but the dog emperor insisted on naming Yu'er, and he didn't like it at all.
Mayyue felt that Hai Lanzhu was quite aware of her words, so she walked over. Zhao Dabao was a follower and followed behind Mayyue.
Hai Lanzhu looked at May's young age and spread the pages to Zhao Dabao and asked, "That's it, please explain it, okay?"
Zhao Dabao looked closely and shook his head and said, "I haven't read this, nor have the teacher taught me. May, do you understand?"
Mayo tilted his little head and glanced at it, saying, "Look for it and get the inside, and get the bottom. It means that you must have high ambitions, so that even if you cannot fully realize it, it will not be much worse."
Hai Lanzhu and Bumubutai looked surprised. Unexpectedly, this young girl was very knowledgeable and explained easily.
"Are you new?" May looked at the sisters and asked, "What grade are you in now?"
"Of course I'm in the first grade!" Bumubutai replied naturally.
May sneered and said, "The newcomer has an admission test. Those who have the shallowest foundation or no foundation will start from the first grade!"
Bumubutai opened his mouth wide, and his face turned red after being shocked.
Hai Lanzhu also felt embarrassed and smiled embarrassedly, saying, "We studied less when we were at home, and our foundation was a little shallow."
May waved his hand and said seriously: "It doesn't matter if the foundation is shallow. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will grow very quickly."
Zhao Xiaobao nodded and echoed: "Yes, yes! May is both smart and hardworking. It took less than two years to get into junior high school after the final exam."
May coughed dryly and glared at Zhao Dabao, saying that he was too verbally blamed.
"Your name is May." Hai Lanzhu looked at the cute little girl, and her eyes turned crescent, and said, "In less than two years, I finished five years of courses, which is really amazing."
Mayyue smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's nothing great. You have to work hard, it's not bad."
As she said that, she pointed to the book in Hai Lanzhu's hand and said, "Since it's first grade, the content of this book is deep, and it is not appropriate to read it now. As for learning, you must proceed step by step and not be eager to achieve success..."
Bumubutai bulged his cheeks, and he was very dissatisfied when he heard that this girl who was younger than him was a teacher. But she was also a little self-aware and knew that if she was more knowledgeable, she would be much better than herself.
Hai Lanzhu thought May was both smart and cute, and her little appearance was also pleasing, so she smiled and nodded, and was humbly taught.
After May finished speaking, he said, "I have something to do, so I will leave you here today. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the teacher, and the same is true for other seniors."
"Okay." Hai Lanzhu agreed, and couldn't help but tease, "Thank you, Senior Sister May for answering her questions, I'll have to ask you for advice another day."
May smiled, waved his hand, and turned around and left.
Seeing Mayyue and Zhao Dabao walking away, Bumubutai couldn't help but complain: "I'm not old, but I'm not humble at all."
Hai Lanzhu closed the book and said, "I'm not old and have a lot of knowledge. I'm going to graduate from elementary school!"
Humph, Bumubutai spoke with his nose to express his dissatisfaction and said, "That bad emperor insists on torture people in different ways. It's okay to do laundry, but he has to come here to study. What kind of elementary school graduates, who cares about learning from their Han people."
Hai Lanzhu lowered her eyes and said quietly: "Didn't my father, brother, and those captured people in the clan all want to learn the knowledge of the Han family. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very dedicated to the northern grasslands!"
"What's the point?" Bumubutai asked in confusion without thinking that far.
Hai Lanzhu shook her head gently and said, "I can't explain it clearly now. I just think that Emperor Ming must have had some plans to treat the captured tribesmen of Korqin like this. Alas, we can't help it, let's take one step at a time!"
Bumu Butai said "Oh", remembered another thing, and complained: "Sister, don't want Yu'er in the future, Yu'er shouted, I don't like it."
Hai Lanzhu laughed, teased the girl, and said, "That's called Da Yu'er. The full name the emperor gave you is actually quite nice."
"Don't call Da Yu'er, either." Bumubutai rolled his eyes, pissed in anger.
