Chapter 188 I am stronger than Emperor Wu of Han
Meng Chong was flattered. He never thought that one day he would be treated so gently by His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course Meng Chong is also very sober. He knows very well that the reason why he is treated so gently by Emperor Jiajing is all because of Prince Yu.
Without King Yu, he would be just a dispensable ordinary slave.
Meng Chong bowed to Emperor Jiajing again, and then asked carefully: "What does the emperor want to know about the prince?"
When Emperor Jiajing heard this question, he couldn't help but rate Meng Chong a little higher.
This sentence sounds like nonsense, but it is very important and is a typical word to protect the Lord.
A slave who knows how to protect his master is a good slave.
Emperor Jiajing liked such loyal slaves.
Emperor Jiajing said: “Let’s start with the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Meng Chong couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard that Emperor Jiajing was going to listen to King Yu's stories from the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Meng Chong organized his speech excitedly. He started with the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in Shunyi Industrial Park, talked about the song "Serving the Country with Loyalty" sung by Zhu Zaijing at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and explained the important lyrics in it. He also told Emperor Jiajing to listen.
When Meng Chong said these two sentences: "Why should I die to serve my family and my country" and "The great China wants to send congratulations from all over the world", Emperor Jiajing showed a knowing smile on his face.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart for San'er's bravery and loyalty!
Then Meng Chong told the story of how brave and fearless Zhu Zaijing led 2,050 people to Huangyugou to ambush the Tatar bandits.
Although Emperor Jiajing had known about these things for a long time, when he heard that Zhu Zaijing only brought 2,500 people with him, he dared to attack the main force of thieves from the Tatars and dealt with them ruthlessly. , and even escaped without any casualties, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but marvel in his heart, what a miracle this is?
He is indeed my son! Much like me!
Then Meng Chong talked about the sixteen-character formula Zhu Zaijing told Teng Xiang: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue". These sixteen After saying the words, Emperor Jiajing suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
He discovered that these sixteen words were truly the culmination of military strategism. They seemed simple, but were actually profound and profound. In the plainest language and the most concise words, it expresses the core values of defeating the strong with the weak, preserving oneself, creating opportunities, and annihilating the enemy.
With these sixteen words, San'er is enough to be famous throughout the ages and rival the famous generals of ancient times.
So at this time, Emperor Jiajing's mood was more like eating ice cream in the dog days of summer, which was so satisfying to his heart.
Then combined with the frontline secret reports sent by Huang Jin these days, Emperor Jiajing immediately felt Zhu Zaijing's "ability". All his actions in the suburbs of Beijing seemed to follow these sixteen Words are carried out.
For example, Meng Chong also talked about the sneak attack on Shixia Camp and the subsequent ambush in the woods, as well as the ingenious plan to abandon Qingshuitan Camp and sneak attack on the enemy's Shixia Camp.
These military operations, which seemed extremely risky, all achieved unexpected results.
Emperor Jiajing's face also showed an expression of excitement and pride. Emperor Jiajing praised: "Huo Qubing, who was under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he first went to war, was already eighteen years old, right? And San'er was only fifteen! Hahaha , In this comparison, I am even luckier than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!”
Meng Chong also quickly praised: "The emperor is the first sage emperor in ancient times. Naturally, Han Wu cannot compare with the emperor."
After listening to Meng Chong's words, Emperor Jiajing felt even more pleased with himself. He was humble. Said: "How can I compare with Han Wu? Han Wu spent fifty-four years conquering the Huns and conquering the Western Regions. Such great achievements are rare in ancient and modern times."
After being modest, Jiajing The emperor changed the subject again, "But when Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, he did not consider the people's strength and fought for years, which caused the Han Dynasty's population to decline and the people to live in hardship, until it was on the verge of collapse. If the succeeding king hadn't cleaned up the mess for him, he might have been Emperor Qin. The second one."
Meng Chong also replied: "The emperor is right, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not have the kindness of an emperor, so God will favor the Ming Dynasty even more and give me a younger man than Huo Qubing. "Hero."
Emperor Jiajing laughed, "It's so true, I think so too." Emperor Jiajing was in an extremely cheerful mood, with the martial arts that Zhu Zaijing helped him achieve. In the vast history, who dares to say that the martial arts of this dynasty are not as prosperous as those of the previous dynasty?
When I think that I have achieved the achievements of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty in terms of martial arts, I have also achieved the achievements of Han Wu in martial arts.
It’s hard not to think that Emperor Jiajing was in a bad mood.
Isn’t this much better than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?
Then Emperor Jiajing asked: "Where is the final decisive battle?"
Meng Chong continued: "After the prince burned down the camp of the Tatar bandits, he knew that these bandits had no final support, and they would jump over the wall in a hurry. Therefore, the prince responded with a conspiracy and destroyed the Shunyi Industrial Park. The location was revealed on his own initiative, attracting the Tatar army, which was already overwhelmed by anger, to attack. "
"But the prince had a clever plan and sent Zhang Tianci, the chief engineer of the industrial park, to the Chaobai River on the first day before the war began. When the Tatar army actually came to the Chaobai River and wanted to seize the place where our army was stationed, and marched straight in to seize the supplies of the Shunyi Industrial Park, all the prince's plans were in place. It took effect at this moment."
"Eunuch Huang Jin and Feng Bao stood firm on the front line, repelling the enemy vanguard, and attracted more bandit troops to rush into what they thought was a dry river before the autumn flood. He wanted to push it over with all his strength. "
"At this time, a cloud-piercing arrow flew into the sky. Zhang Tianci, who was staying at the upstream dam, immediately blasted the previous water storage dam as planned. In an instant, the force was like thunder. , the water of the Chaobai River, as fierce as a giant dragon, rushed down, feeding the fish and shrimps of the Chaobai River to the bandits, which greatly damaged their morale."
"Then the prince was not afraid of life and death, and led him personally. Six thousand cavalry rushed to kill the bandit army from the Gushan camp, killed the general and captured the flag, snatched the bandit chief's banner and presented it to the emperor. Then the prince chased the bandit bandits for more than 20 miles, and ordered the original guards to guard the east and west sides. He tried to prevent the Tatar bandits from jumping over the wall, and then drove the Tatar bandits out of the Great Wall in one go! ”
Emperor Jiajing listened to Meng Chong's words and looked at the Tatar scroll that was quickly presented to the side of the monastery. The smile on his face was even brighter than it could be.
This kind of contribution is no less than that of Wei Qing in defeating Dragon City!
Of course, Zhu Zaijing, who is self-aware, still knows his own trade. The reason why he is so successful is that in addition to his foresight as a time traveler, he also invests in firearms regardless of cost.
Without the combination of the two, no matter how flexible Zhu Zaijing was in the suburbs of Beijing, he would be nothing more than a mosquito harassing giants and would be innocuous at all.
But with the blessing of firearms regardless of cost, the effect has changed qualitatively, directly changing the previous rules of war, making it an invincible army that comes and goes like the wind and is as powerful as thunder. .
Therefore, the real foundation for victory in this war is not Zhu Zaijing's various tricks, but the enhanced firearms that support him in completing his tricks!
The use of these firearms and gunpowder is fundamental to this victory.
Just like Huo Qubing who invented blitzkrieg, the reason why he was able to blitz the Huns without incident was because of the defensive armor and offensive weapons that surpassed the Huns for an era. The sharp sword, combined with Huo Qubing's youthful spirit, created a miracle.
Otherwise, with the same cavalry conditions, no matter how brave Huo Qubing was, he would not have been able to challenge countless tribes in the rear of the Huns and capture the Huns prince Jin Rixi alive. In the final analysis, the real decisive factor in that war was determined by the superiority of weapons and equipment, and nothing else.
Of course there are exceptions to everything, such as a certain transport captain. He completed a perfect rout with absolute superiority in troops and weapons, and finally spent the rest of his life on a small southeastern island. Not surprising.
The reason for his failure is also very simple, that is, there is little help for those who are unjust, and many help for those who are right.
How can we remain undefeated if the people are not loyal to us?
So if the rulers want to survive for a long time, they must either deceive the people to death, or give the people who can't be deceived more ways to survive, otherwise the lessons learned from the past are not far behind.
The most terrifying thing is the people who are angry and have no way to survive. They are not afraid of life and death at all.
A group of common people who are not even afraid of life and death. Which ruler can rule and oppress them for a long time?
The answer is absolutely no.
So you can’t do anything absolutely unless you are sure that the thing you want to do is truly absolute, otherwise something will definitely happen.
