Guangzhou Guangdong and Guangxi Governor's Office.

Half a month ago, Zhao Ming arrived here secretly by boat from Hailu.

After Zhao Ming arrived, Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan, Li Benshen, Wang Shuang and other generals also came to Guangzhou one after another.

Dongshu is the dominant leader of Southeast Asia, with more than 100,000 armors and strong strength. The most important thing is that its country is densely covered with jungles and humid climate, which is difficult to attack.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had assembled more than 100,000 troops in Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou, and the South China Sea Fleet also assembled ten warships in Guangzhou.

At this time, in a hall in the Governor's Office, there was a huge sand table in the middle, showing the terrain of the Indochina Peninsula.

Zhao Ming held a wooden pole and pointed to a large area south of Yunnan, and said in a deep voice: "Dongshu is in the southwest of Yunnan, bordering the Ming Dynasty, with a population of nearly 10 million. However, hesitating about the northeast of the country, the area bordering the Ming Dynasty, the mountains are stretched and the primeval forests are dense, and it is difficult for people and caravans to pass through, so the connection with our Ming Dynasty is not close."

Many Ming generals were seriously looking at the sand table and examining the terrain of Donghuo.

The information on this sand table was provided by merchants in the Ming Dynasty and was drawn by the Military Information Department.

Now, wherever the merchants of the Ming Dynasty went, the Military Information Department's detailed work went, collecting mountains, rivers and terrain from all over the place and creating military maps for emergencies.

Zhao Ming looked at everyone and said, "Dongyu Country is considered a domineering in the southeast, but its strength is far from that of our Ming Dynasty. I think it is not difficult for the Ming Dynasty to destroy Dongyu. The difficult thing is to destroy Dongyu with the support of Wu Sangui and the English country."

Zheng Chenggong said: "Then the Regent deliberately gathered supplies in the northwest and sent troops into Uszang. The purpose was to make Wu Sangui mistakenly believe that the Ming Dynasty wanted to recover the Western Regions, direct Zhou's attention to the Western Regions, and then destroy Dongxu with thunder."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly: "This is indeed my plan, but it is still difficult to determine whether Wu Sangui will be deceived. Furthermore, even if Wu Sangui's eyes turn to the Western Regions, Dongxu is not so easy to destroy."

Jin Shenghuan agreed deeply, "Previously, Your Highness asked me to pay attention to Dongyu, so I studied this country and learned that its country has more than 100,000 armors, and the northeast is full of mountains and dense forests, which is difficult to pass. It is difficult for the army to destroy Dongyu, even if it crosses the mountains and forests in the north of Dongyu. Zhou and Dongyu are approaching each other, and the fleet can cross the sea to Dongyu. It is easier than us to enter Dongyu by land. I think that before we enter Dongyu's hinterland, the reinforcements of Zhou have mostly already arrived in Awa and are waiting for us."

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "So, I am summoning you to come this time to discuss how to end the war in Dongxu before the Zhou army launched a large-scale aid to Dongxu and avoid falling into the quagmire of war. Dongxu is wet and hot, and once the war lasts for a long time, it will be extremely unfavorable to our Ming Dynasty."

The Ming Dynasty is very powerful now, but it is not without the possibility of being dragged down by a small country war. Zhao Ming is still very alert in his heart.

Zheng Chenggong said: "Since that's the case, we can only make a quick decision. Then it will be impossible to just send troops from Yunnan and cross the mountains and dense forests."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, "I originally planned to fight and repair the official road from Yunnan to Dongxu, but later I learned that Dongxu, Zhou, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance of England and Geely knew that this plan was difficult to achieve and would become a protracted war of attrition, so I stopped it."

Zheng Chenggong looked at it and smiled and said, "It is still okay to be a suspicious soldier in the Yunnan route." As he said that, Zheng Chenggong pointed at Guangzhou, "The Regent came to Guangzhou and transferred tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Guangxi to adapt to the mountains, forests and climate. I believe he had a strategy."

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Oh! Let's talk about it successfully, what strategy do I have?"

Zheng Chenggong took the wooden pole, walked a few steps beside the sand table, stopped, pointed to the sand table and said, "Since we are going to end the war in Dongyu quickly, and we see the position of the regents' hidden troops, I think the regents are probably going to attack Dongyu in three ways."

Zhao Ming held his arms, and many Ming generals also looked at Zheng Chenggong.

To be honest, if Zhao Ming hadn't been Zhao Ming, Zheng Chenggong would have been the brightest cub in the southeast Anti-Qing battlefield. However, because Zhao Ming appeared and rose in Zhejiang, Zheng Chenggong's performance in the past twenty years was mediocre and not too dazzling.

Zhao Ming did not apologize for stealing Zheng Chenggong's many limelights, but if he had the chance, Zhao Ming was still willing to show Zheng Chenggong a chance to show his talents.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Zheng Chenggong pointed at Yunnan with a wooden pole, "I think that the first road is Yunnan, and we can still follow the previous strategy, while building roads and fighting in the hinterland of Dongxu. After all, the court has captured Dongxu. If there is no land connection between the Ming Dynasty, it will not be controlled by the court. However, this road has only attracted Dongxu's attention, not the main force that attacked Dongxu."

Zhao Ming nodded and encouraged: "Continue to talk!"

Zheng Chenggong picked up the wooden pole, pointed it at Guangxi, then drove to Annan, Siam and other countries in the southeast, and said in a deep voice: "I guess the main attack direction of the regent should be here. The mountains and dense forests in the northeast of Dongyu are relatively flat, but the army can use Siam to bypass the mountains and forests in the northeast, and directly surround the capital of Dongyu, killing Dongyu with one mistake."

Zhao Ming smiled on his face and praised: "Heroes have similar views. The key to this battle is the word "fast", so only this road is the fastest."

Zheng Chenggong continued: "As for the third route, I think it's a navy. The regent gathered ten gunships in Guangzhou and asked me to come. I guess I wanted me to lead a fleet to bypass Malacca and go to the coast of Dongxu, block the coast of Dongxu, and prevent Zhou and English from reinforced Dongxu from the sea. Is this the guess correct?"

"All right!" Zhao Ming laughed: "My strategy is indeed to let Li Dingguo send troops from Yunnan, put pressure on Dongxu, and lead Dongxu troops into the mountains and forests in the northeast to set up defenses, causing emptiness in the rear. At this time, the army and the navy hidden in Siam, and the navy attacked at the same time. The navy was responsible for blocking the coastal areas and preventing Zhou and Britain from reinforcements. However, I led the army to directly enter the hinterland of Dongxu from Siam, quickly attacking Dongxu, and forcing Dongxu to surrender."

Zheng Chenggong was very happy after hearing Zhao Ming's words, but then said: "I think the Regent's plan is feasible. However, how can the Regent do so without being noticed by Dongxu?"

Jin Shenghuan also asked: "If Dongxu noticed it, they might have asked Zhou State for help as soon as we dispatched troops. When we were deployed, Wu Sangui's troops had already entered Dongxu."

Zhao Ming smiled slightly and said, "This requires waiting for news from Yunnan."

At this moment, Li Ponu came in from outside and saluted Zhao Ming and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Chen has arrived."
