Chapter 316

After Zhu Yijun said that he summoned Liang Menglong on the platform that day, he asked, "How does Liang Jinglue plan to dispatch the general?"

"Go back to Your Majesty!"

"I plan to use the participating general Deng Zilong and the commander-in-chief Liu Ting to raise [-] troops each. After repelling the invasion of Myanmar and Yi, they will attack the land of Longchuan, and then attack Ava with all troops, and then stay and garrison;"

"At the same time, Admiral Chen Lin, the commander-in-chief stationed in Japan, was recruited to supervise his navy to go to Siam. Most of his old troops were from Fujian and Guangdong, and they were familiar with the sea route from Annan to Siam;"

"In addition, I intend to transfer Li Rusong to lead a battalion of cavalry from Jinwuwei and Liaodong to Siam with the navy. Gein can go to the south of Myanmar from Siam, and the south of Myanmar is mostly plains, so you can go to Siam. In the cold season, when the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, use cavalry to quickly destroy the rear, leaving them without food and people to conscript."

Liang Menglong confessed to Zhu Yijun his troop deployment plan.

Zhu Yijun nodded.

"Your opinion, if the extermination of Myanmar falls short, what is the most likely reason?"

Zhu Yijun knew that he had to think about defeat first in battle, so he asked Liang Menglong that.

Liang Menglong didn't say that there would be no defeat, and how long he would be able to successfully destroy Burma. He just thought about it and said: "Contact!"

"The matter involves the entire southern region, and the land and water stretches for thousands of miles. I am afraid that the imperial decree and the chapters of the echo will be difficult to arrive at. If you interrogate the decree, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the minister to return quickly."

"In addition, this dynasty is a large country with thousands of miles away, and it often moves the whole body if it is pulled. I am afraid that due to lack of communication, some people will take the opportunity to cause chaos when the whole country gathers heavy troops, money and food to destroy Burma."

Zhu Yijun pondered for a while, and then came: "That's right, the biggest problem is still the problem of communication."

As he said that, Zhu Yijun laughed: "But don't worry, Qing, even if someone says that Qing intends to seek rebellion, and even if there is solid evidence, I will ask you after the Burmese incident is over."

"As for the matter that affects the whole body, no matter how big the crisis is involved, I will not give up easily, unless the dynasty changes!"

In a country with an absolute monarchy, the success or failure of any major event often depends on how determined the emperor is.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun's words were a reassurance for Liang Menglong.

Liang Menglong also cupped his hands and bowed: "The state-owned sage, great things can be achieved!"

……

After Zhu Yijun summoned Liang Menglong on the platform, he went to the Siyusi and asked Shen Shixing and other ministers in power: "I gave each of you a telescope in the past, did you gain anything?"

At this time, Qi Jiguang came out and said: "Since your Majesty has asked, I will ask for an order to use Guojiu to admiral the Tianxia post road project, and build a gate to station sentries on the coast and plains!"

Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows and smiled after hearing this: "Sure enough, you know what I mean!"

After hearing this, Shen Shixing and others all took a look at Qi Jiguang, thinking, isn't it the meaning of looking long-term, it turns out that the holy will is so practical?

"My original intention was to use this mirror to close the station to strengthen communication, but I don't know if it is practical, so I intend to ask Qing and others to think about its application value after getting the telescope."

Zhu Yijun said with a smile to Qi Jiguang: "Unexpectedly, Lord Ji really thought of this aspect, which shows that my intention is still feasible."

"Of course, Master Shen and so on let his son learn the art of war, etc., which is also in my favor!"

Zhu Yijun then said another sentence.

Shen Shixing waited for this to suddenly realize.

"Ji Guogong, tell me what you think, how to establish Guantai contact?"

Zhu Yijun continued to ask Qi Jiguang here.

Qi Jiguang bowed his hands and said yes, and then said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, after I got this telescope, I thought that he could greatly shorten the time of post-road communication!"

"A soldier can see the semaphore of a soldier on a distant platform in advance through this telescope on the closed platform, and then know whether there is an enemy invasion, an earthquake or locusts passing through the border based on the semaphore."

"It's just that this kind of shutdown should be higher."

"Although a platform that is too high requires high skills, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have sent a letter to ask Uncle Guo, and Uncle Guo said that he built a high wall for Haoyou, and he has the skills of bamboo tendons passed down by his Li family ancestors. , can create a better platform.”

Obviously, after Li Wenquan was dispatched to Jizhou, Qi Jiguang became friends with him, and even kept in touch with him in private.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "Very good!"

"What if the enemy attacked at night?"

After Qi Jiguang said, Yu Youding asked a question.

Qi Jiguang said: "This is naturally simple. The Kongming lanterns left by Zhuge Kongming can solve this problem. The sentries can prepare Kongming lanterns of different colors in advance, and then release Kongming lanterns of different colors pulled by ropes according to the situation. The combination of the number of colors to determine the corresponding message."

"Your Majesty!"

"The minister believes that this strategy is indeed beneficial for the officers and soldiers stationed in the garrison to communicate with each other."

"It's just that the meanings represented by different semaphores and lanterns cannot be disclosed, and they must be replaced regularly. Special officers and soldiers must master this to avoid leakage."

Fang Fengshi cupped his hands and said.

"Ji Guogong's thoughts are indeed in line with my plan. I have asked the Jinyiwei to write the codebook of the relevant semaphore and lantern language, and have trained the orphans who have joined the Jinyiwei in Xingming Academy to receive this training. They will be sent to the future. The armies are responsible for liaising and compiling information."

"Therefore, I agree with Duke Ji's proposal to build a gate to let the sentries watch with binoculars."

"The Siyusi immediately drafted an order to order my uncle to supervise the construction of the Guantai under the title of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry. It is stated in the order that if the Guantai is built well, I will restore my Duke's title and let him inherit it."

At this time, Zhu Yijun also issued the order to let Li Wenquan, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Li, supervise and supervise the construction of the Tianxia Guantai.

The ruling ministers have no objection.

They all knew that Li Wenquan was very honest and serious in terms of engineering construction, so much so that several border patrol censors who covered up for cutting corners were severely punished because of his exposure.

When Zhu Yijun ordered to build a large-scale watchtower, Liang Menglong also began to dispatch troops.

According to Liang Menglong's transfer order, Chen Lin needs to transfer [-] navy troops stationed in Japan to Guangdong.

Li Rusong wanted to dispatch [-] cavalry from the Yang Huan tribe in Liaodong and [-] cavalry from the Jinwu Guard to prepare to cross the sea together with more than [-] barbarians from Zha Dashou.

Liaodong also had a navy, and Liaodong cavalrymen often crossed the sea to fight against the invaders, so Li Rusong and others were not seasick or afraid of crossing the sea.

For soldiers and horses in the north, the biggest problem is the temperature and various diseases caused by tropical bacteria. It is difficult for soldiers and horses who are not immune to these local diseases to adapt, so they cannot stay permanently, but attack at the right time It is still possible.

After Li Rusong got the decree, he said goodbye to his father Li Chengliang, saying: "Father, my son is going to cross the sea to conquer Burma, so I can't be filial in front of you."

"It's the greatest filial piety if you don't stay in Liao and give me anger!"

Li Chengliang said with a straight face, and handed a box of old man's ginseng to Li Rusong: "This is dedicated to His Majesty. You gave it to Your Majesty as a father when you came to Beijing."

"Your Majesty still lacks ginseng?"

Li Rusong asked.

Li Chengliang said: "Your Majesty is not you, he will know that being a father means that he really wants to live forever!"

"Oh!"

Li Rusong took the ginseng and said goodbye.

When Li Rusong turned around, Li Chengliang shouted: "Remember, when you see those civil servants, don't say that you did the killing of the barbarian slaves, and put everything on your father and me! Learn more from Jiguo Public School, ask Sell ​​them openly and secretly!"

"Know!"
