Chapter 833: Prince Dingguo Wang Bi: I Have Two Strategies, One Is To Win Quickly, The Other Is To W
Just when a group of Japanese local daimyo on Kyushu Island were contacting each other, preparing to unite to join forces to keep warm and resist the Ming army.
In Chuzhou City, which was originally built in Qianguo and is now renamed by Chu King Zhu Zhen, Chu King Zhu Zhen and Dingguo Duke Wang Bi are also discussing the next attack.
"Father-in-law, what should we do next? Continue to attack other Japanese daimyo?!!"
King Zhu Zhen of Chu looked at Duke Bi of Dingguo in front of him with a very humble attitude.
Because unlike the deputy commander-in-chief Guogong of other princes and vassals, his deputy commander-in-chief Wangbi is his father-in-law!
His first concubine is the daughter of Duke Bi of Dingguo, and he has a son-in-law relationship with Duke Bi of Dingguo.
So with this kind of relationship, it was naturally impossible for him to act like a vassal prince to Prince Dingguo.
Duke Dingguo Wang Bi looked at his son-in-law, his eyes even more satisfied.
Although he had guessed that his son-in-law was not simple before, but after getting along with him for half a month, he realized that his son-in-law was not only not simple, but also very simple!
Not to mention his ability in marching and fighting, but in terms of construction, government affairs, personnel arrangements, etc., he is really amazing!
Even in his opinion, Chu King Zhu Zhen's ability in these aspects can be said to be no less than that of the six ministers and nine ministers in the court.
After establishing the Chikuzen Kingdom and having a preliminary general understanding of the geography of the Chikuchen Kingdom, a feasible, rational, and constructive construction plan for Chuzhou City was compiled in just three days.
In just half a month, concrete and cement production plants and steel smelting departments were built on the spot in Chuzhou City.
Then the original capital city of Chizen Kingdom was also blown to pieces by gunpowder charges, and the so-called Daimyofu of Chizen Kingdom was also bulldozed.
With more than 300,000 captured samurai and Japanese slaves from Chikuzen, Hizen, and Bunzen countries working day and night, the construction work continued without stopping when new people were replaced.
A Chuzhou city that was twice as big as the original one and was conceived and planned by Chu King Zhu Zhen and related officials also began to take shape.
According to this construction progress, it is estimated that in about half a month, the construction of a Chuzhou City wall, which is entirely made of concrete, cement and steel bars, and is two feet high and one foot thick, will be completed.
In another month or so, various related large bungalows inside Chuzhou City, made of concrete, cement and steel bars, and used to house the Ming Dynasty Marines and other personnel, will be generally completed.
By then, their Ming Navy marines will have a real and reliable military base city on Kyushu Island!
It can be used as a logistics repair and supply point for the Ming Dynasty's 100,000 marines.
Retreat, it can be used as a defensive fort where one hundred thousand navy generals of the Ming Dynasty are waiting for support.
Even if a typhoon suddenly blows, they don't have to worry about being unable to resist or escape.
And he is not bragging, as long as the Chuzhou city planned by Chu King Zhu Zhen is built and relevant food and other materials are stored in it.
So as long as the food in Chuzhou City continues to be exhausted, he will be confident that this Chuzhou City will never be captured by the Japanese!
In other words, if the Japanese really wanted to capture this Chuzhou city, he was confident that the Japanese would pay millions of lives for it!
At the same time, during this period, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the 100,000 Ming navy soldiers, as well as the various work arrangements of the more than 300,000 Japanese slaves captured, were also managed by Chu King Zhu Zhen in an orderly manner, without any chaos in the area.
It can be said that as a general who marches and fights, what he likes most is civil servants like Chu King Zhu Zhen who are capable of construction and logistics.
With such civil servants assisting him, he can focus more on fighting and expeditions, which can be said to be very worry-free and comfortable.
King Zhu Zhen of Chu did not know that Duke Bi of Dingguo was boasting so much about his abilities in his heart. If he had known, he would have bowed his head humbly, saying that his abilities were only "average."
It's just a one-time, two-time familiarity, thanks to the fact that he accumulated a lot of experience when he built his own coastal city base in Ming Dynasty.
He has suffered a lot of losses and stepped on a lot of pitfalls that should be stepped on before.
That's why the construction of the current Chuzhou City went so smoothly.
Just like when he was building the coastal city base before, he did not expect that the project construction would have such a large demand for concrete, cement, and steel bars, so he did not open a concrete cement production plant and a steel smelting department at the first time.
This led to the initial construction of his state city, which had to come to a standstill due to lack of raw materials such as concrete, cement and steel bars.
But having suffered this loss, he immediately arranged for the miners he brought over to explore where there was limestone, clay, and iron ore as soon as he attacked Chikuzen, Hizen, and Bunzen.
After finding it, they immediately arranged for people to excavate limestone, clay, and iron ore [and established a concrete and cement production Guanghe Construction and Steel Smelting Department on the spot.
Similarly, he is not that capable of compiling a feasible, rational, and constructive state and city construction plan in just three days.
Maybe he will have this ability in the future, but he definitely doesn't have it now.
After he had a general understanding of the basic geographical conditions of Chikuzen Province, he copied from the previous state city construction plans here, changed them there, and then pieced together such a Chuzhou City Construction Plan. That’s all.
Whether it is the construction plans of his eldest brother Zhu Biao, second brother Zhu Xi, third brother Zhu Fan, fourth brother Zhu Di, and the seventh brother Zhu Shu to build their respective coastal city bases, or the construction plans of Tamna Island and Tsushima Island Books are open to all the vassal princes and princes like them.
It was precisely because he had so many successful and detailed state and city construction plans as a reference that he was able to piece together ten feasible and reasonable plans in such a short period of time.
Constructive Chuzhou City Construction Plan.
In addition, there are more than 300,000 Japanese and samurai who were captured as slaves to carry out the construction of the state and city projects, so there is no need to care about the people's strength or their lives.
That's why he was able to build such an embryonic city wall of a state city in such a short period of time.
Otherwise, if he hired people from the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely not be able to advance the construction of Chuzhou City so quickly.
After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty are people of the same origin as him, and they must not be ruined like this.
So in general, "Forbidden Lord Zhu Zhen doesn't think he has anything to be proud of for being able to do these things.
At least Chu King Zhu Zhen believed that if his other brothers were in charge, then maybe the other brothers could do better than him.
Prince Dingguo stroked his beard, looked at King Zhu Zhen of Chu in front of him, and said with a leisurely smile:
"After we successively captured Chikuzen, Hizen, and Bungo, the remaining daimyo of the six Japanese kingdoms of Higo, Chikugo, Bungo, Hyuga, Ohsumi, and Satsuma received news. You will definitely panic.
"As long as their minds are clear, they will realize that they will definitely not be able to withstand our attack just by relying on their own 'power of one country'."
"If they don't want us to defeat them one by one [and then perish."
"Then there is actually only one way left for them, and that is to stick together to keep each other warm and unite to fight against us.
"Maybe even now, they have started to contact each other and gather with each other."
"And this is exactly what I hope for."
"As long as they unite with each other, it will depend on whether His Highness King Chu wants to win quickly or slowly."
King Chu Zhu Zhen blinked, looked at his old man and asked:
"Quick victory, how to win quickly?!"
Duke Dingguo Wang Bi replied:
"A quick victory means that after they gather all their forces, the Ming Dynasty's 100,000 marines will come out to decide the outcome in one battle!"
"With the might of the artillery, the strength of the armor, the sharpness of the swords, and the high morale of the Ming Dynasty marines!"
"Even if the opponent gathers an army of half a million people, as long as most of the opponent's troops are the Japanese samurai from Chikuzen Wai, Hizen Wai, and Bunzen Province that were captured before.
"I am absolutely sure that one hundred thousand can break half a million!"
"Even if the opponent can exceed my expectations and amass an army of millions, I am still absolutely sure that I can protect His Highness and safely retreat to Chuzhou City to defend it, or to retreat to the naval fleet."
"However, in this way, although the Ming navy soldiers can win, I am afraid they will have to pay the price of one-tenth or two-tenths of the soldiers' lives."
"After all, the opponent is a human and not a pig. As long as the opponent is willing to pay a large number of human lives and attack with artillery, bows and arrows, and muskets, he can still risk his life to rush in front of the Ming Navy officers and engage in close combat with them."
"Then as long as there are more Japanese warriors on the other side, five Japanese warriors surround and kill one Ming Dynasty soldier [or even ten Japanese warriors surround and kill ten Ming Dynasty soldiers]"
"So when there are too many ants to kill the elephant, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties."
"Within my prediction, the Ming soldiers could basically wipe out more than 100,000 Japanese warriors at the cost of less than 10,000 casualties, and then completely destroy their morale, causing them to collapse and flee in all directions."
King Zhu Zhen of Chu pondered slightly after hearing the words, and then asked again:
"."Then what kind of slow victory is this?!!"
Duke Dingguo Wang Bi replied equally confidently:
"Slow victory means delaying logistics and sneak attacks from behind!"
"Now these Japanese local lords should be mobilizing troops to unite with each other. If they want to completely unite their troops, it will take about half a month at least.
"And when they are completely united, the city wall outside Chuzhou City should be almost completed."
"After they have organized their troops and come to attack us, we will send multiple guerrillas to sneak attack them everywhere and hinder their marching speed.
"As a result, it should not be able to buy us another half a month."
"By then, the construction of various buildings inside Chuzhou City should be basically completed."
"If most of the Ming soldiers are sent back to Chuzhou City to defend it, then even if they have a million troops, they will never be able to attack Chuzhou City!"
"After that, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stayed in Chuzhou City and did not fight with them head-on."
"If this drags on for a long time, they will inevitably be unable to support it first."
"After all, the logistical supplies for hundreds of thousands of troops are very huge. In a short period of time, they may be able to support it."
"But as time goes by, we will inevitably have to choose to retreat due to lack of logistical support."
“Moreover, they are a coalition composed of multiple ‘countries’, and according to the investigated intelligence, these countries were previously hostile to each other as ‘Southern and Northern Korea’ countries.
"In a short period of time, we may be able to cooperate with the outside world because we have this great enemy."
"But as time goes by, if they show weakness against our enemies, there will inevitably be conflicts among themselves.
Due to their long-term conflicts, they had to choose to separate again and withdraw their troops.
"But as soon as they dare to separate and withdraw their troops, the Ming Dynasty will immediately attack with all its troops and annex one of the small countries."
"Forcing them to unite again, Ming Dynasty will continue to avoid fighting and continue to use this method to bring them down."
"As long as this happens two or three times, these Japanese allied forces will be exhausted and unable to fight anymore."
"And in this process, Ming Dynasty can also gradually erode and annex them at the expense of smaller casualties."
"And as long as they unite, they will inevitably choose to gather their armies in a certain small country."
"As a result, other small countries will have no military strength to defend themselves."
"If it is in the Central Plains, then they can also send troops to guard the main roads leading to several other small countries to prevent other small countries from being attacked or attacked by us."
“But, this is an island!!!”
"We can completely take advantage of them to mobilize their troops and gather in a certain small country, and use the mobility of the naval fleet to quickly go around the rear coast of these small countries to carry out landing sneak attacks."
"Directly plunder all the Japanese, granary and other materials from several other small countries that are empty of troops, reducing their logistical sources of food and other materials."
"Or you can directly defeat all these small countries, and then form a large encirclement around the country that has assembled all its military forces."
"After that, we surround you without attacking, and you slowly catch the turtle in the jar."
"As long as this lasts for a while, they will collapse due to factors such as food and fodder logistics."
"In the end, the Ming Dynasty was also able to capture the hundreds of thousands of Japanese warriors at the cost of fewer casualties."
