Chapter 145 The commander-in-chief of the East Route Army decided it was you(2/2)
The Ming army that was divided into various places could be arranged to directly penetrate the southern part of the desert and the Liao area.
Of course, in order to avoid the failure of the Second Northern Expedition, the strategic focus this time will no longer be the southern and northern desert areas.
Those places are full of wastelands and those who are not familiar with the terrain will easily lose their direction.
But Liao is different. There are many fortresses in Liao. The Ming Dynasty's official army was never afraid of siege. What you are afraid of is that you can't catch you!
So the main goal of this expedition is Liao!
This Third Northern Expedition planned to fight on the western, northern and eastern fronts.
Among them, Xu Da, who was in charge of Qinghai, was the commander-in-chief and Mu Ying was the rich and handsome man, focusing on restraint and looking for opportunities for fighters.
The northern line is equipped with Fu Youde as the head coach and Li Wenzhong as the deputy general. He is also a feint to attack the Yuanting headquarters, which is actually to restrain the main force and look for fighter opportunities.
And the real focus is the Liao area on the eastern front!
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the inner officials beside him to bring the map, spread it out and put it in front of the three brothers Zhu Qi, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, pointing to the Liaodong Peninsula and said:
"Nahachu now occupies Shenzhou, which is a vast territory in Liaodong, and wants to conquer Shenzhou.
We must walk through the western Liaoning Corridor, and this narrow and long road has countless cities along the way.
If you blindly attack the city head-on, you will be the enemy who is right in the face. I am afraid that you will suffer heavy losses before you arrive in Shenzhou.
To walk the western Liaoning Corridor, our Ming Dynasty must use heavy troops, and it may not be able to take it down.
What's more, the Northern Yuan King Baobao could not sit idly by and watch the Ming Dynasty attack the Liao territory without any response."
After Zhu Yuanzhang analyzed it, he looked at Zhu Qi, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao asked:
"Boss, third and fourth, what do you think if Liao land on the Eastern Front is going to be fought, how should we fight?"
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were both silent, only Zhu Qi pulled Zhu Di next to him, then lowered his head and said to Zhu Di with his mouth:
"Sea road, sea road."
This journey to attack Liaodong was not what Zhu Qi thought of, but what Zhu Yuanzhang thought of in history, and one of the rare extremely successful long-distance naval landing operations in history.
It was to go directly from Tianjin Wei to Navy, go straight to Lushunkou, then swept across the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and then cooperated with the Ming army of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to capture the entire Liaoxi Corridor and the Liaodong Peninsula!
Zhu Yuanzhang did this in history, and directly defeated all the ordinary territory that Naha had left. He would definitely do this now.
After all, Liu Yi, Pingzhang of Liaoyang in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, was dead, and the navy under his command was not left.
Not to mention Goryeo, he had already surrendered in secret, and there was no longer any power on the water that could stop the Ming Navy.
This is a great time for water attack!
Zhu Qi planned to remind Zhu Di to let Zhu Di speak out this strategy.
Then I would admire him crazy and then actively recommend Zhu Di as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Di had such military talent, he could think of him as his own. Maybe he would let Zhu Di be the commander!
Zhu Qi even thought about the words he praised, such as "I think it is absolutely possible for the fourth brother to be the commander. After many battles before, I have already seen that the fourth brother is a general who is no less than Uncle Xu!"
And "As long as the fourth brother comes out, Naha will definitely destroy Gula!"
Balabara has a lot of things, and this matter is stable.
Zhu Qi thought to himself, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Qi's mouth reminder, and was a little ecstatic. Then he looked at the map and then looked at Zhu Qi.
Zhu Qi gave him a look of encouragement and continued with his mouth: "Sea Road, sea Road..."
Zhu Di immediately opened his mouth and shouted:
"Yes! Third brother, you are too strong! We can walk on the sea!"
Zhu Qi was stunned, and he wanted to go up and slap Zhu Di and then physically lock him up.
But now is not the time to beat my brother, he hurriedly remedy and said:
"Oh, this is not what you think about first..."
But before Zhu Qi could speak, he heard Zhu Di continue to shout:
"I understand what the third brother means. He set out from Tianjin Wei, headed straight to the Liaodong Peninsula, attacked from the rear of Naha, and attacked him unexpectedly!
Naha's definitely not expect that we will attack from the water! At that time, we will attack with the defenders of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Naha's will definitely be defeated!"
When Zhu Qi heard Zhu Di's words, he immediately nodded and said:
"Yes, I'm worthy of being the fourth brother, but this method is really not what I think."
Zhu Di immediately said:
"Why aren't you thinking about third brother? Isn't it just that you have been talking about sea routes and sea routes? And this strategy was told to us when you were in Tianjin Wei before.
You said that after defeating Liu Yi, there would be no navy in Beiyuan, and he would go directly to the Liaodong Peninsula by sea. This is something Naha would never have imagined!”
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he continued, regardless of Zhu Qi's crazy eyes and said:
"Dad, I recommend my third brother to be the commander of the Eastern Front!
I think it is absolutely possible for my third brother to be the commander. After many battles before, I have already seen that the third brother is a general who is no less than Uncle Xu!
As long as the third brother comes out, Naha will definitely destroy Gula!”
My grass! You dog-like Zhu Di!
Are you good at reading minds?
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and clapped his hands and shouted:
"Okay! I'm worthy of being my son!
Qi'er, our Ming Dynasty's third Northern Expedition, the commander of the Eastern Army will decide that it is you!
Chapter completed!
