In 1356 (the sixteenth year of Yuan Zhizheng), his benefactor Guo Zixing died of illness in Chuzhou (now Chuzhou City, Anhui), and the 28-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang became the leader of this team. Although it occupies one place exclusively, looking around, there is Jinling occupied by the Yuan army in the south, Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen in the southeast, Chen Youliang in the west, and Mongolia occupies almost the entire Eurasian continent in the distance.
Others are at least the territory of a province, and Zhu Yuanzhang has only one prefecture-level city in his hands.
If you really want to compare strength and territory, is it necessary for Zhu Yuanzhang to fight?
However, in 1368 (the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty), the 40-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing and ordered the Northern Expedition. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led an army of 250,000 and marched north into the Central Plains. In just over a year, the Northern Expeditionary Army captured Dadu, and the Yuan Dynasty was gone, and Emperor Yuan Shun could only abandon the city and flee to the Mongolian steppe.
In just 12 years, Zhu Yuanzhang has completed the great cause of expelling Hu Lu and restoring China, what is the secret of his success?
The most important thing is his grasp of timing and precise shots.
During this time, the Philippines deliberately harassed in every way, with zero harm and 5 annoyance.
Some people say that they sent a synthetic brigade over and destroyed him. But no!
What can be solved with a water gun is a waste with a submachine gun, and sending a synthetic brigade is equivalent to driving a tank to crush an earthworm, which is indeed suspected of abusing animals.
The most important thing is that in Biden's layout to contain China, the Philippines, like Lithuania, is just a low-end consumable in it.
Just as two chess players use the earth as a chessboard to play chess, Japan, Australia, and Saudi Arabia are chess pieces, and the Philippines can only be counted as a fly flying over the chessboard. Just take something and shoot it away, if you really want to deal with it, it will increase its value.
What we have to concentrate on dealing with is the chess piece, the opponent's entire layout.
I drained my physical strength on the fly, and when the tiger came, how to deal with it?
This article is the first article in the "Breaking the Game" series, please stay tuned for subsequent articles.
1. Biden's layout
When Trump was in power, he thought the United States was strong, strong enough to overwhelm China. So a series of withdrawals from the group, throwing away various international organizations, relying solely on the power of the United States, and a 1v1 boxing with us. As a result, the United States was the first to fail.
In 2020, Trump lost ** because of poor epidemic prevention and controlNo, it is the ruling class of the United States that thinks that Trump lost the war, and the reason for the defeat is that he is thinking wrongly.
Our hard power has long surpassed that of the United States, and Trump still wants to rely on the strength of the United States to carry it with us, he is even older and confused than Biden!
After Biden took office, he learned the lessons of Trump, strengthened ties with allies and lackeys, formed various organizations such as the "Five Eyes Alliance" and "Asian version of NATO", and fully mobilized the strength of their camp, from east to west, from south to north, from finance to science and technology, from culture to **, from food to minerals, from cotton to chips, laying out one game after another, to trap, sleep, and trap us to death.
His thinking is simple and clear: since the United States can't fight hard with China, then pull people's heads, and the United States, the European Union, and the "Five Eyes Alliance" can always surpass China, right?
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with this idea, at least it is stronger than Trump.
Let's take a look at Biden's triple layout:
First, the layout of East Asia and the Pacific Ocean. The United States is in the center, Australia and New Zealand on the left, Japan and South Korea on the right, plus three island chains, a left and right flanking attack, and a blockade in the middle. It's like a man stretching out his two arms and forming a pincer.
The great thing about this relayout is that it is difficult to break.
1. Australia's road is too far away, and our navy does not have an advantage, on the contrary, the US navy will come over at any time to reinforce it, which is difficult to bite.
2. Japan and South Korea are insignificant, but Japan is a strong opponent. Historical grievances have determined that China and Japan will fight to the end. When Japan is killed, we will also be greatly damaged. At this time, the United States will come to pick peaches, just like they did in World War I and World War II.
3. There are three island chains in the middle road, the first one has been abolished, and the second one is in a tug-of-war. Only when our naval strength is 60% that of the United States will it be possible to completely break the three island chains.
There is another misleading situation here: the greatest advantage of the US military over our military is the navy, and it is unwise to attack the strong with the weak, and how much investment is needed to meet or exceed the level of the US Navy?
Second, the layout of Asia. Japan and South Korea in the northeast, Frog Island in the east, ** in the southeast (the Philippines is the head), Vietnam in the south, India in the southwest, the Middle East in the west, and Afghanistan in the northwest are attacked from seven sides.
Japan and South Korea are desperate for the United States, Frog Island Cai is eager to hug Biden's thigh every day, ** is the military pivot of the US military in the Eastern Pacific, Vietnam has been on great guard against us, India's dream of a great power has never woken up, there are more than a dozen US military bases in the Middle East, and Afghanistan was still occupied by the US military at that time.
Even Russia, which is due north, would not have "unlimited cooperation" with us if it were not for a complete break with the West in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
On the way forward, we have always been alone, never relying on a savior, nor on the immortal emperor.
Third, the global layout. North America (the United States, Canada) and Europe (the European Union) are fighting from east to west, blocking us in the middle.
It can be said that as soon as Biden took office, he laid out a big situation and cast a big net. The person who commanded the net was called the United States, and the people who helped to cast the net were England, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc., and there was a large group of people watching the excitement from the side.
The people in the net are us.
Fishing or dragnet fishing friends may know that when there are big fish, you can't quickly reel in the rod or net, because then the big money will break away and escape. You can only slowly reel in the nets and wait for the big fish to run out of stamina before you can catch the fish smoothly.
Therefore, while slowly closing the net, they will throw flies such as Lithuania and the Philippines from time to time to lure us to make excessive counterattacks, thus constantly consuming our strength.
Even Japan, as long as it can consume our strength, Biden will not hesitate to throw it. A fly like the Philippines, even if it is swatted to death by us, Biden will never shed a single tear. And as long as we expend too much strength to swatt the fly to death, Biden will definitely laugh and throw another fly.
What he expects most is for us to rush and struggle in vain in the net, until we are exhausted and left to their slaughter.
At that time, foreigners will still be able to act as a prestige and be domineering, and "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter" will reappear in China, and our children and grandchildren will be slaves and servants for generations.
We must break this triple layout, just like tearing that net, the question is, how to break the game?
2. Zhu Yuanzhang's three decisions
When it comes to grasping the timing and making accurate shots, there are very few ancient emperors who have reached the level of Zhu Yuanzhang.
First Decision: Capture Jiqing Province.
In 1356, he took advantage of Zhang Shicheng's attack on the Yuan army in Jiangnan. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was recuperating, finally made a move. He personally led the army of land and water, and the troops attacked Jiqing in three ways. In just 10 days, Jiqing (Jinling) was taken. And changed its name to Ying Tianfu. This time basically laid the geographical foundation for the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is of great significance for participating in the pacification of the Quartet in the future.
The second decision: hit Chen Youliang first.
After taking Ying Tianfu, Zhu Yuanzhang's power has made great progress. But there is Zhang Shicheng in the east and Chen Youliang in the west, which side should be fought first?In terms of strength, Chen Youliang is strong and Zhang Shicheng is weak, and it seems that Zhang Shicheng should be beaten first, but Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on hitting Chen Youliang first. His opinion is: Zhang Shicheng will only guard his home, and if he can't beat him for a while, he will be attacked by Chen Youliang from behind. And when he fought with Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng would only watch the excitement.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to face Chen Youliang, defeated Chen Youliang in two major battles, and then turned back to kill Zhang Shicheng and completely laid the foundation.
Third Decision: Northern Expedition Arrangement.
Before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang proposed the following strategic arrangement: first take Shandong and remove the barrier of Mengyuan;Advance to Henan, cut off its wings, seize Tongguan, and occupy its threshold;Then marched into the capital, at this time the Yuan Dynasty was lonely and took it without a fight;If troops are sent to the west, Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Gansu can be swept down.
Later, the Northern Expedition was carried out completely in accordance with Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement. When the army reached the capital, Emperor Yuan Shun could only flee from the wind.
When he joined the Red Turban Army at the age of 25, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a monk and a beggar. Fifteen years later, he had expelled Hu Lu and restored China, becoming the emperor of the ages. Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang's grasp of the timing and accurate shot are really worth learning from.
3. When the game is broken
Triple layout, siege on seven sides "very powerful?".Biden of the layout is very shrewd?
No. Because our layout has already started and played a great role.
Looking at the "One Belt, One Road" strategy we proposed in 2013, the land route is like a spear, the sea route is like a scimitar, and the combination of knife and gun is a bow, which is about to shoot the arrow to end the global hegemony of the United States and the West.
In October this year, the third Belt and Road Summit Forum was held, with the participation of more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations.
What does this mean?
We have grasped the main contradiction of the world: the contradiction between the aspirations of the vast majority of the world's people for a better life and the backward global order that benefits only the West.
What is the general trend?The desire of more than 6 billion people in poor and backward areas for a better life is the general trend!
A "community with a shared future for mankind" that conforms to the current situation will inevitably become the common pursuit of more than 6 billion people in poor and backward areas.
Under the general trend, no matter how subtle Biden's game is, and how loyal his allies and younger brothers are, they can only continue to fail and retreat step by step.
In August 2021, the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan in a hurry, and the seven-way siege was missing.
In February 2022, the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out. With the successive visits of the leaders of Germany and France to China, Biden's layout of "east-west attack" has been shaken.
In March 2023, Saudi Arabia reconciled with Iran, and the situation in the Middle East changed abruptly. In October, a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out, and Israel's act of poisoning Gaza drew condemnation from almost the entire world, and the anti-US wave in the Middle East continued to rise. The seven-way siege is one less route.
Since the beginning of this year, China's relations with Vietnam have improved rapidly and cooperation has been deepened. Seven Ways Siege One Less Road.
More critically, the United States, like Biden's body, is getting older and more inadequate.
The "triple layout, seven-sided siege" is constantly collapsing, and the global hegemony of the United States and the West is constantly collapsing.
So, can we let them go?
Because we are new, upward, and beneficial forces for the world, and they are selfish, **, and old forces that plague the world. In order to maintain their so-called "order" and the life of a "developed country", they will not allow 1.4 billion people to continue to develop, and they will not allow the vast majority of the world's people to live a good life.
Therefore, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord.
Fight, send them to the dustbin of history!
