In fact, everyone is very clear that the focus of this autumn offensive launched by the Qing army was to strangle the throat of the Ming army's pig iron supply. The accuracy and speed of the move did indeed make Yongli's monarch and minister feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Youlang really wanted to gain a foothold as soon as possible, and many internal affairs problems needed to be solved urgently. For example, administration, education, health, finance, maritime trade, etc., all of which were brewing in his mind for a long time, but the Qing soldiers just didn't give him a breather. Perhaps, if the war of Fujian did not show up such a sharp weapon, the Qing soldiers would not be in a hurry to kill him.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop." There is no way, so you can only solve external troubles first and then plan for development.

...

Taking care of Jiangxi or saving Guilin first is a dilemma. Not only does Zhu Youlang feel it is difficult, but all the cabinet ministers feel it is difficult.

If Chen Zizhuang's idea is to save Jiangxi first and drive Tan Tai out of Jiangxi at all costs, Guilin may be lost in a short period of time, and the west of Guangzhou will face a huge threat to the Qing army; and if Jiangxi has Jin Shenghuan, Zhang Jiayu and Du Yonghe, it should not be lost in a short period of time, but the supply of pig iron will be cut off.

The lack of supply of grenades means that the most powerful killing weapon is gone. I hope to fight against the Qing soldiers with big swords, spears, bows and arrows. The Ming army has no advantage at all and has a very small chance of victory.

If both sides take care of themselves, there will be no more troops to be dispatched.

Therefore, in the face of this complex situation, everyone was silent. Even Huang Zongxi, who was the best at using his brain, felt it was difficult to deal with and could not come up with any good solutions.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhu Youlang knew that they had no good ideas, so he said, "Since everyone has no good ideas, let's do it first, think about how to solve the current dilemma, who has come up with any good ideas, can meet me at any time. Jisheng, your Ministry of War can convene some generals to discuss, one person has short plans and two people have the lead, and three cobblers are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are there. In addition, you will be willing to let people spread to monitor the military weapon camps during this period. Whenever strangers approach, you must find out their origins and strictly prevent the Qing court from sending people to sabotage."

"I obey the order." Chen Zizhuang and Lu Daqi bowed to receive the order.

After everyone went down, Zhu Youlang asked Huang Zongxi to put the map in place and the two of them studied it carefully.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion: Can I purchase pig iron among the private sector? There are two provinces in Fujian and Guangdong, and it is estimated that it will not be able to collect less and it can be supplied in a short period of time." Huang Zongxi said.

"Yes, but it must be purchased at the price and cannot be forced to charge. This must be made clear." Zhu Youlang agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we don't lack money now, why should we compete with the people for profit?"

"Well. Taichong, I suddenly thought of an idea. The grenades were exposed. We still have mines. Why not make good use of mines? The Qing soldiers in Jiangxi dare not ride horses, but our army in Guilin and the whole province are fighting against the Qing soldiers in traditional ways, so the Qing soldiers must not be prepared."

"Yes, Your Majesty, why didn't I expect it? Landmines were used in the Battle of Longyan, but because it was night, the Qing soldiers must not know it. Judging from the reactions of the Qing soldiers, it can also prove that they did not ride horses and had the scattered formations, which were obviously specifically targeting grenades, and they should not know about landmines."

"Then use mines. Landmines are purely defensive. As long as you mobilize the enemy to my preset battlefield and fight an annihilation battle, it can still be done."

"Your Majesty, if you want to use mines, you can use them to the best effect. To mobilize the enemy, you must also mobilize their large troops. It is best to fight to determine the world and make the Qing soldiers dare not go south anymore."

"Yes, what you said makes sense. But how can you achieve the best results?" Zhu Youlang thought.

When Zhu Youlang was thinking, he liked to pace back and forth with his hands behind his back. At this time, what Zhu Youlang was most annoying was that someone interrupted his thoughts.

Li Hong and Huang Zongxi both knew about his bad habits, so when he saw him standing up and paced slowly, he closed his mouth and stopped moving. Li Hong also made a gesture quietly. The eunuch at the gate of the hall saw it and hurriedly withdrew and said something to Wen Jin.

Bai Xing basically stopped standing guard now, and Zhu Youlang gave him permission to be with Xiaomei everywhere. Therefore, twenty-four hours a day, the four Wen brothers took turns to take the shift to be on duty.

Wen Jin nodded to show that he understood—at this time, if any minister wants to meet the king, he must let him wait first.

The surroundings were quiet, there was no sound, and no one dared to move. It was the atmosphere that Zhu Youlang liked. He paced, but his thoughts were not in the battle situation in front of him, but flew to the distant past life, and to the great struggle of the great men in the past life against encirclement and suppression.

At the beginning of his journey, the situation he faced was much more complicated and severe. At that time, his worst plan was to drill into the valley, fight guerrillas, imitate the great men of his previous life, develop slowly and grow slowly.

A great man can create a new China under such difficult conditions. He has much superior conditions than him. At least he is the authentic Ming Shi and has a strong appeal. Even if he is hiking a mountain valley and fighting guerrillas, he can still get more support.

Now my situation has been opened, with some territory and some jars and jars, but I have some psychological taboos. I am always afraid of breaking this and that, and I always want to keep this and that, and I want to keep this and that. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

"If you have land and people lose people, people and land will be lost; if you have land and people lose people, people and land will be preserved." Isn't this what I used to guide Li Chengdong? Why did it come to my head and forget it?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "I think I can't compare with a great man. His strategic determination is too poor. Even if I have been born for more than two hundred years, it is still too far apart. There is no way, that is a godlike existence. We can't compare it. Learning a little bit of fur is enough to benefit."

When his thoughts returned to the current situation, Zhu Youlang felt that his thoughts suddenly became widened. So what if Guilin and Quanzhou were lost? So what if the entire Guangxi was lost? As long as someone was there, he would definitely win the final victory.

Zhu Youlang quickly returned to the map, thought carefully, and punched the last punch on Long Shu's desk, and said firmly: "That's it!"

When he heard him speak, Huang Zongxi and Li Hong both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Taichong, I have decided to transfer Zhongwu to the ears quickly, and let his navy be replaced by infantry, and take a break and go north to aid Jiangxi immediately. In addition, I will lead the army in person again to rescue Guilin, and mobilize Kong Youde's army. I will let this saint's unfilial descendants have a good meal of iron watermelon."

"Your Majesty, you can use your body as bait to mobilize Kong Youde, but the danger is too great. Except for Li Chengyin's 10,000 imperial guards, there is no other troops. I am against it." Huang Zongxi saw Zhu Youlang's plan at a glance and quickly expressed his opposition.

"Who said there is only 10,000? There is still an army, you didn't count it."
