"My lord, do you mean that Yang Mubo still needs to unify the chieftains in other places?”Mu Yong asked curiously.
"Yes, it seems that Yang Mubo still needs to unify Guangnan Prefecture and Guangxi Prefecture, then he will move east and enter Guangxi Province to wipe out the chieftains of Si 'en Prefecture, Si City Prefecture, and Zhen' an Prefecture. Only then will he be able to gather 40,000 to 50,000 troops to launch a surprise attack on Guilin or Kun Prefecture!”
Zhu Bomu had always felt that Yang Mubo needed at least 40,000 men to resist the first wave of the Qing army, but Mu Yong also voiced his concern,"
"But can Yang Mubo gather so many people before the Qing court makes a move on him?”
"Yeah…that's where the problem lies.”After sighing, Zhu Bomu said to Mu Yong,"We can't go to the battlefield in Wang Nongli now. We have to be wary of the Qing army from Peace Hall sending information to the Kun Prefecture.”
"I understand. I'll send people to ambush them on the road north near Peace Hall and intercept their scouts!”Mu Yong nodded, understanding Zhu Bomu's words very deeply.
The Peace Hall, which had less than 800 people, naturally did not dare to underestimate Yang Mubo after witnessing his military prowess. However, this did not mean that they would sit idly by and watch as Yang Mubo gathered the tens of thousands of people in Kaihua Prefecture to become a force that threatened Yun Gui.
Sending a letter to the Kun Prefecture was the safest method. As the person who was playing chess behind the scenes, Zhu Bomu naturally had to help his chess piece grow.
The most important thing was to intercept the scouts and stop the news from Peace Hall from being sent to the outside world. If necessary, they had to occupy the relay stations along the way!
Kaihua Prefecture was a prefecture with fewer troops and more people. Usually, they would have to increase their troops occasionally. At present, Zhunkar was in chaos in Qinghai-Tibet. The Green Army soldiers in southern Yunnan had basically gone to Lijiang to defend. Even the Governor's Office had moved there.
Lijiang and Kaihua, one in the northwest and one in the southeast. If it was not necessary, they would not send people down to check. Therefore, as long as they blocked the news sent out by Kaihua House, Zhu Bomu might be able to help Yang Mubo buy more than three months.
Three months, that would depend on how far Yang Mubo could go.
After arranging everything, the original hundred cavalrymen instantly became ten cavalrymen, in addition to Mu Yong and Zhu Bomu.
With so few people, they naturally chose to go home.
On the way back, Mu Yong specially said,""My lord, if Yang Mubo fails…"
"Go south to Jiaozhi, lay low for five years, unify Jiaozhi, and go north to the Central Plains!”In just 16 words, Zhu Bomu had already thought of a way out if Yang Mubo failed.
"Should I call Li Dao back?" Mu Yong suggested.
Because of Zhu Bomu's chieftain uprising plan, Li Dao had already led 100 Southwestern Horse Scout Cavalrymen to each chieftain's mansion in the four southwestern provinces half a month ago.
This trip would take at least three months to half a year. Mu Yong was worried for a reason.
However, after thinking about it, Zhu Bomu still shook his head and said,""There's no need. You have to believe Li Dao!”
" I was a little flustered..." After Zhu Bomu said it, Mu Yong also felt that he seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Right, arrange for some people to quietly join the soldiers. If Yang Mubo is going to be defeated, our blades must be faster than the Qing soldiers!”Halfway through the journey, Zhu Bomu suddenly said.
Only when he was fully prepared could Zhu Bomu play the role of the chess player behind the scenes, instead of being exposed and playing chess with Kang Xi openly.
He, Kang Xi, could lose ten or a hundred times, but he, Zhu Bomu, could not afford to lose even once!
With this uneasy atmosphere, the group of 12 returned to the mountain town before sunset. Two hours after they arrived, a team of riders carried the body of a Mongolian Qing soldier back to the mountain town.
"What's going on?" Mu Yong asked as he looked at the Qing soldiers who had died a long time ago. Zhu Bomu had almost arrived at the alley.
"It was a messenger sent by the Qing soldiers. He was also a Mongolian. His archery skills were very vicious. We chased after him with ten people, but he still took down three of our brothers.”
The leader lowered his head in shame, while Zhu Bomu stepped forward and patted him, indicating that he was fine.
The Southwest Light Cavalry was not a high-level soldier type in the Total Battle System. It was not even considered an intermediate soldier type. Facing the heavily armored Mongolian cavaliers, and with the attributes of the Mongolian horses and Dian horses, it was not surprising that three of them were defeated.
In the end, this era was still the era of heavy cavalry and line musketeers. In a few decades, the United Kingdom would use the lobster soldiers of line musketeers to conquer the world.
Zhu Bomu's Total War System had mutated and was the product of combining it with Age of Empires III.
The original game of Age of Empires 3 started in 1500 AD, followed by the technological explosion in the West, and finally ended in 1850, before the Qing Dynasty's Westernization Movement.
Logically speaking, there should be flintlocks. If there really were, Zhu Bomu even dared to claim that he could conquer the entire Central Plains if he gave him 50,000 flintlock soldiers.
This wasn't a joke. He was serious.
This was because the soldiers produced by the system were not afraid of death. This meant that if Zhu Bomu used a line tactic, with the addition of 50,000 people, he would not be able to kill them.
Even if there were 200,000 cavalrymen charging at him, as long as he had enough artillery support, he would be able to defeat the other party!
