Give me a fulcrum and I can move the earth.

Zhu Youxiao dared to say that his physics was the best in the Ming Dynasty, and his lever principle was so superb that the earth was trembling!

In the Liaodong War, he was also able to use his foresight to exert force in small events, thereby expanding them to create a more significant impact.

To put it bluntly, it was to use Liu Xingzuo's rebellion and the Chahar tribe's attack on Khorchin as the fulcrum, and add a little force to leverage the turning point of the entire Liaodong war situation.

Now, this goal had been basically achieved. The addition of 5,000 Ming troops had made it impossible for the Khorchin tribe to escape defeat; Liu Xingzuo's rebellion had caused the three guards of southern Liaoning to fall into the hands of the Ming army, and they had formed a blockade and siege on Daishan's two red flags.

Regardless of the final outcome, the Jiannu were already in a strategic passive position that was difficult to reverse. Falling into passiveness was the prelude to the Jiannu's downfall.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao expanded the war competition to all aspects and did not worry about the gains and losses of a city or a place, thus grasping the key to victory.

The competition in manpower, equipment, money and food, despite the huge investment, made the victory or defeat of the war stable and controllable.

When flintlock muskets can be mass-produced and equipped to the army in thousands of units per month; when the training of musketeers takes one or two months, or even less time; when muskets are equipped with bayonets and can be used both at long range and short range.

The change in the form of warfare had already made the Ming army invincible. Even if it meant "exchanging people for people", the conquest of Liao was just around the corner.

Manpower is also a factor in a country's overall strength. Adopting a strategy of attrition is the safest and most justifiable approach.

Of course, the war situation is reversing, and whether it can continue to be maintained still depends on Zhu Youxiao, the chairman of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as he lived well, even if he only lasted until the seventh year of the Tianqi era in history; as long as he did not make any stupid moves and seek his own death, the demise of the Jiannu would be a foregone conclusion.

Well, I could have destroyed the Jiannu in less than the seventh year of the Tianqi reign; as for the stupid move, I am smarter than a monkey, how could I make such a mistake.

Zhu Youxiao always had a relatively clear understanding and was very accurate in positioning himself.

Knowing people and assigning them to the right positions is one thing, and collecting money from everywhere to ensure the logistics of the army is the second. As long as these two aspects are not a problem, it will be impossible for the Jiannu to turn the tables.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Youxiao had already determined that he did not need to be as diligent in government affairs, live frugally, or even suffer as hard as Chongzhen, in order to accomplish the great cause of pacifying Liao.

As long as the direction is right, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort; if the direction is wrong, the harder you work, the further you will be from your goal.

Zhu Youxiao had not received any intelligence from the frontline yet. Although he was somewhat anxious, it was not what worried him the most.

In Changchun Palace, the palace maids were busy, constantly bringing in hot towels and hot water.

Zhu Youxiao's fingers tapped on the armrests of the chair like a chicken pecking at rice, so quickly that his usual rhythm was completely forgotten.

It's time to give birth, it's finally time to give birth! It's not some eleven months, let alone thirteen months, and I'm sure it won't give birth to a monster like Nezha.

Zhu Youxiao was lost in thought, listening attentively. At first, he could still vaguely hear Yu'er's humming, but now there was no sound at all.

Zhu Youxiao's impression of childbirth was still stuck in movies and TV dramas. The mother was sweating profusely, screaming hoarsely, and in excruciating pain...

Zhu Youxiao's fingertips suddenly stopped, and he stood up and walked to the palace door. He wanted to look around and hear more clearly, but a palace servant immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Your Majesty." Wang Tigan smiled and said with courage, "Don't rush into it when the Yin energy is strong. You are the true dragon emperor, and even more so..."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hands impatiently. He'd been told this twice before. Although he didn't believe it, he was also afraid that if he went in, Yang Hanyi and the other midwives would get nervous.

Yang Hanyi is the best midwife, and he brings along the clinic's most experienced midwife. "No problem, absolutely no problem."

Zhu Youxiao comforted himself and looked up to see the medicine boy Tao Yan coming out of the delivery room. She didn't look too nervous, so he felt a little relieved.

Zhu Youxiao asked the palace maid to call Tao Yan over. After asking about her, he learned that everything was normal inside and Yu'er was safe. He couldn't help but sit down in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty." Tao Yan pointed at the snacks on the table and said, "I'm a little hungry, these..."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said generously, "Take it and help yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Tao Yan got up, picked up the snack plate, walked out of the palace, sat on the steps under the eaves, and began to eat with relish.

Wang Tigan came closer and bowed, asking, "Your Majesty, we've been waiting for quite a while. Would you like to have some food served?"

You give birth to the baby inside while I eat and drink here?

Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes and was about to speak when he heard a sound coming from the delivery room and immediately stood up.

It was a soft groan at first, then the sound gradually became louder, and it was Yuer's cry of pain.

Tao Yan threw down the plate of snacks and ran into the delivery room quickly, leaving Zhu Youxiao staring at her intently.

With his five fingers clenched together, Zhu Youxiao stood there with a sullen face and a frown, not moving.

The cold and eerie aura, hmm, made anyone who provoked it explode like a bear, frightening the palace servants so much that no one dared to approach. Even Wang Tigan lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

It was not a rule for the emperor to come in person, but no one could stop him. This shows the emperor's love for Concubine Yu and his care for his future children.

Peace, peace!

Wang Tigan and the palace people prayed in their hearts. If anything went wrong, they could imagine the emperor's wrath. Who knows, someone might get a black eye and suffer a terrible fate.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao felt that Yu'er's voice became lower and not as strong as at the beginning, and his brows were wrinkled into a lump.
