Chapter 3 Controversy
Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions emphasize "the king, minister, and assistant" and are indispensable. Zhu Youlang naturally understands the truth.
For the Yongli Dynasty, I am the king and have a soul from later generations. I dare not say that those who are wise and not wise, but I will never be a foolish king. However, the ministers are not united, or have no confidence in the future, and cannot see the future of the Yongli Dynasty clearly. This is a very unfavorable part of Zhu Youlang, the king.
He has to make up for this shortcoming as soon as possible.
"Qu Aiqing, I am not ready to adopt your opinion and Ding Aiqing."
Zhu Youlang said to Qu Shisi with a smile.
"Ah? Emperor, time is tight, whether to guard or leave, you have to make an idea. Neither guard nor leave, has the emperor decided on other matters?" Qu Shixi was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't think of a third way to go besides guarding and walking. Moreover, based on the emperor's previous judgment of his urinary nature, he must have tended to go.
"Fight!" Zhu Youlang's eyes showed determination and he spit out a word with determination.
"Fight?" The five people looked at each other.
"Emperor, Zhaoqing has not prepared for war for many years, and the city defense fortifications has not been repaired. The city wall is low, which is not conducive to defense. Moreover, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in Zhaoqing City, and there are 20,000 horses and infantry in Guangzhou. The navy and the newly conquered pirates have 30,000 people. At this time, the battle with them is undoubtedly a stone with eggs." When Ding Kuichu heard Zhu Youlang say the word "war", he concluded that the emperor was talking nonsense. It is okay not to be able to defend. Repairing the city wall fortifications at this time may not be able to stick to it. Fight? Are you dreaming?
"Your Majesty, what Lord Ding said is that you must not fight at this time. We do not have that ability. If General Yang Guowei from Guilin led his troops to come, he might be able to fight, but at present, there are only a few thousand soldiers in the city, and they are newly defeated, and their morale is low. Compared with the Eastern Dynasties, they only account for 10% and their chances of victory are almost zero." Qu Shixi also strongly opposed it. He did not call Shaowu but called the Eastern Dynasties, and did not recognize Shaowu's existence.
The matter is obvious, it’s not that I don’t want to fight, but my strength is not allowed.
"Hahaha, my dear friends, don't be impatient, wait for me to analyze it carefully with you." Zhu Youlang stood up, walked in the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking as he walked: "It seems that I am a college student, not a qualified emperor, and I can't do it if I just sit on the job. Also, isn't the emperor so proud of his words? I'm just a chatterbox, and these two things are not qualified. It seems that I still have to learn slowly and adapt slowly."
"I'll say you can't leave first. Ding Aiqing, your move to the capital is nothing more than running away." Zhu Youlang saw that Ding Kuichu wanted to speak, and raised his hand to stop him: "No need to explain, escaping is just running away. I'm not that stingy, and I'll still care about these things at this time."
"I ask you, if I flee to Wuzhou, how much can my troops increase?"
"Back to the emperor, there are five thousand soldiers and horses in Wuzhou."
"Okay, plus those five thousand, may it resist 50,000 soldiers?"
"No, but it's better than the five thousand now."
"That's just a little stronger. I can conclude that it's not enough to escape to Wuzhou, and I have to escape to Guilin before I can take a breath. From then on, the Qing army, the Daxi army, and the Shaowu army are all bigger than our Yongli Dynasty. Should I escape all the way? Also, I agree with the people's concerns mentioned by Qu Aiqing."
"I am the orthodox family of Ming Dynasty. I dare not compare myself with Emperor Gaozu and his ancestors, but I must not lose my ancestors' majesty. If I cannot firmly uphold my heart to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, what would the benevolent and righteous people and soldiers of the people in the world think? What would I think? They could only submit under the iron hoofs and butcher knives of the Qing soldiers. "Ten Days of Yangzhou" and "Three Massacres of Jiading" massacres millions of soldiers and civilians. From this we can see that the Qing soldiers are brutal. At this moment, the people in the world urgently hope that someone will lead them to resist the Blade Qing Dynasty and restore our Han people's clothes. If I just avoid war and just escape, the world will be full of desire to look up to you."
"So, it is not advisable to escape. I will never be the emperor who escapes in person."
Speaking of this, Zhu Youlang made a decisive conclusion.
The emperor escaped in person? What is this? As the emperor, can we not be too funny?
After hearing the emperor's words, the five ministers were shocked and all opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them.
Is this the emperor the same?
"Emperor, the emperor is wise, I agree very much. But why does the emperor say that it cannot be defended?" Qu Shixi suppressed the shock and ecstasy in his heart and asked in confusion.
"Qu Aiqing, you can't just rely on your passion to fight, you must have strategic decision-making ability." Zhu Youlang saw that all the ministers showed shock and admiration. He knew that what he said just now had worked. Seeing that Qu Shixi played the role of assisting very tactfully, he blew away awesomely.
Are you a quasi-Chinese medicine doctor and have no strategic decision-making ability? If that kid Wang Chen knew that he said this, he would definitely sneer.
"Please play the role of the emperor." Qu Shixi continued to play the role of assisting.
"As Ding Aiqing said, Zhaoqing has no city defense preparations, and when he is defeated, the morale of the army is unstable. If he defends his life, I am sure that it would be good if he can defend for half a year or three months. Therefore, it is not advisable to defend a strategy. People must be bold when they are in difficult situations. I think that offense is the best defense!" Zhu Youlang talked with his hands behind his back.
Madan accidentally told the philosophy on the football field in later generations.
"What the emperor said is that offense is the best defense. But offense must be done within one's ability. "The Art of War" says: Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround them ten times, and five times attack them. Now my total strength is only one of the enemy, and the strength is very different. Wouldn't it be a moth to fly into the fire?" Lu Daqi, who had not spoken for a long time, took a step forward and said respectfully.
"Hahaha, Tanhualang's literary reputation has been everywhere, but I didn't expect that he is full of martial arts! Lu Aiqing, you are not doing your job properly." Zhu Youlang pointed at Lu Daqi and joked.
Lu Daqi was a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, and was a test-testing flower in the palace. That's why Zhu Youlang said this.
Everyone was amused, and the solemn atmosphere in the hall immediately became loose.
"Lu Aiqing, don't forget that there is another saying in "The Art of War" that the superiors are called "the superiors are attacking plans, and then attacking diplomatic relations, and then attacking troops, and then attacking cities. Our soldiers are small and few, so we cannot fight against them, so we can only take them by wisdom." Zhu Youlang continued.
"Your Majesty, it's of course the best strategy, but no matter how good the strategy is, it's useless in the face of absolute power. Shaowu Dynasty's troops are ten times more powerful than me, so I'm afraid I can't win." Lu Daqi shook his head, not optimistic about Zhu Youlang's attack at all.
"Who said I want to go to war with Shaowu soldiers?" Zhu Youlang said.
"Ah? Emperor, this..." The five people were confused by Zhu Youlang today. They were just trying to attack in a coquettish manner, but now they said they would not go to war with Shaowubing. Master, what are you doing?
"The dispute between me and Shaowu is a dispute between brothers. Brothers fight against their insults outside the wall. If I don't beat him, I will fight the Qing army if I want to fight!"
Ah, Master, are you sick? You can’t even defeat Shaowu’s soldiers, and you still have to fight Qing soldiers? Isn’t this arbitrary death?
