Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

On the Situation of the Kaifeng War was written by Wu Buwei. It was passed to Wang Cheng'en, the chief eunuch in charge of the eunuch, through the eunuch in charge of the field military hospital. Wang Cheng'en then submitted it to Zhu Youjian's Long Case.

The reason why Wang Chengen was so bold was because of what Zhu Youjian said to him. The Ming Dynasty was in danger. I wanted to turn the tide and save the Ming Dynasty, but I lacked everything. I lacked loyal and reliable ministers, lacked money, lacked talents, lacked weapons and equipment. There is a shortage of food, and even less of an elite army loyal to me.

If you have any good suggestions or find talents, just feel free to recommend them boldly. Even if you are wrong, don't worry. I forgive you for your guilt. Although your advice is offensive, I can listen to it. If you do the right thing, I will reward you generously.

In this world, the person who knows Emperor Chongzhen best is none other than Wang Chengen. Ever since Concubine Chen entered the palace, the emperor seemed to have changed a bit. He couldn't tell the specific details, but he seemed to have begun to show signs of being a wise king. He was wise, wise and decisive. This It's a good sign.

Well, the wiser the emperor is, the more stable the Ming Dynasty will be, and the more popular he will be as an old slave who serves the emperor all day long.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

Zhu Youjian carefully read Wu Buwei's excerpts. Just by looking at the title, he knew that Wu Buwei had put a lot of thought into it.

To be honest, if Kaifeng can be saved, he still doesn't want to give up, because every time Li Zicheng captures a place, his troops, food, weapons and equipment can be replenished, and his strength is enhanced. On the contrary, Ming Dynasty is weakened by one point.

The content of the excerpt is to give several hypotheses to solve the Kaifeng war situation. Perhaps Wu Buwei was worried about annoying the emperor and was clicked. He chose his words carefully, gorgeous and obscure, which cost Zhu Youji a lot of brain cells.

The first hypothesis is that Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, led an elite army of 300,000 to defeat Li Zicheng's rebel army and drove the rebel army out of Henan. The official army used the power of victory to pursue them.

The second hypothesis is that the war did not achieve the expected results and the two sides formed a temporary confrontation.

The third hypothesis, which is also the worst hypothesis, is that Sun Chuanting was defeated and retreated to Shaanxi and other places, using the Yellow River as a natural barrier to block the rebel army on the river bank.

Next, we will first list the various advantages of the official army, such as having more than 300,000 elites from Baoding, Shaanxi, and Huguang, more soldiers and generals, better weapons and equipment than the bandit army, and a relatively sufficient supply of food and grass. These are all It is one of the basic guarantees for winning the war.

Then I will list some of the disadvantages of the official army. Although the official army has more than 300,000 elites, the three governors support their own troops and listen to the announcements but not the instructions, which has formed a situation that cannot be lost. For example, He Renlong, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, Although they have been punished, it is still difficult to change some bad habits in the short term.

In order to preserve their strength and many other reasons, the three governors may not be able to cooperate sincerely and fight bravely. In addition, there are many bad habits in the army, such as empty pay and withholding soldiers' pay, etc., which are enough to affect morale, lead to ineffective combat, and lead to defeat.

Zhu Youjian saw it. Wu Buwei rarely mentioned Kaifeng City in his words, let alone reinforcements to Kaifeng. He only vaguely said that the battlefield is like a chess game. Sometimes, discarding a few unimportant chess pieces can actually make the whole chess game come alive. The opponent cannot see your chess moves, but is cautious and does not dare to make blind moves. On the contrary, your side will gain the upper hand and can arrange your moves calmly, etc.

Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded. With this strategic vision alone, Wu Buwei was qualified to be a military advisor. He was just worried that he would beheaded if he angered himself, so he wrote a lot of obscure nonsense in gorgeous words.

Of course, regardless of whether Wu was doing it to repay his kindness? Or is it for your own career? He really showed his abilities and scratched the itch in Zhu Youjian's heart.

Zhu Youjian tried his best to recall some of the Ming history materials he had read. It seemed that Wu Buwei was not included in the character tree of the Ming Dynasty. In his previous life, maybe he was just an unknown figure?

In this life, due to the unexpected appearance of Zhu Youjian, the trajectory of history has also undergone some changes. Wu Buwei, a little man with talents but no way to serve the country, also quietly appeared?

In any case, Zhu has many loyal and talented talents. Since Wu Buwei unexpectedly appeared, he would not miss it.

Wang Daban, Xuan Wu will not do anything.

Well, Your Majesty, it's night now, Concubine Chen is still waiting for you...
