Daming: Me!The auspicious beast unicorn of the old Zhu family

Chapter 103 Bravely crowning the three armies, Chang Yuchun!Xu Tiande of the Great Wall!
The Ming Empire, Yingtian City.

Miyagi, Imperial Study Room.

In order to discuss the decisive battle with the Yuan Dynasty, drive out the Tartars, and restore the Central Plains, Comrade Zhu also summoned the important officials of the Ming Empire to gather here.

He himself sat on the main seat, and standing behind him were the Commander of Jinyiwei, Sword Master Changhong, and the fourth prince, Zhu Di.

Standing on the left are generals who are good at military affairs—Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He.

Standing on the right are civil servants who are good at internal affairs and strategy—Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and Wang Guangyang.

It is related to the future of the Ming Empire. This war must not be lost. Once it fails, the main force of the Ming Dynasty will suffer heavy losses. At least within ten years, there will be no strength for the Northern Expedition, and it may even be counterattacked by the Yuan Dynasty , thus losing a lot of land that has already been acquired.

These civil servants and generals who have just been promoted to rank.

Their high-ranking officials, wealth, glory and wealth are all tied to the Ming Empire, so naturally they also try their best to assist Comrade Zhu, and strive to end this war satisfactorily.

"Report-"

"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness and Qin Guogong (the title Zhu Wenzheng was conferred on) have been waiting outside for a long time."

As part of history that has been changed.

Due to Zhu Wenzheng's achievements, he became the founding Duke of the Ming Empire, and he was given the title of 'Qin', so he was called Duke of Qin.

This bestowed number can be regarded as one of the top ranks among the several princes.

On the one hand, it is to highlight Zhu Wenzheng's illustrious achievements.

On the other hand, it is also because Zhu Wen is Comrade Zhu's nephew, so he took a little care of his family.

Because Zhu Wenzheng is still young, just in his early thirties, old Comrade Zhu is probably also thinking about leaving such a strong general who can recruit and fight well to his son Zhu Biao, at least he will not fall into the situation of no general. Available embarrassing situations.

"Xuan."

"Da da da--"

Prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Wenzheng rushed to the imperial study without stopping.

Looking at several important court officials, all of them are listed here.

The expressions of the two couldn't help becoming serious, as if they felt a breath of wind and rain that was about to come, and they entered the line separately.

Zhu Wenzheng walked directly to the left, while the crown prince Zhu Biao stood beside his father, clasping his hands.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's stop talking."

"This time you are called here."

"Just for one thing—"

"Damn the Yuan Dynasty! Drive them back to the grasslands! The territory of our Han people should be ruled by our Han people. Since the Song Dynasty, the northern region has not been under the control of our Han people for a long time, and I, Zhu Yuanzhang To be No.1 in the successful counterattack against the North!"

"."

The people around you are all your confidants.

Unlike in the court, there are many civil servants and generals who need to maintain their image.

and so.

Comrade Zhu is also acting casually at this moment, directly slamming the table.

Immediately announced their strategic goals!

The army under his command has fought many battles in the north and south over the years. They hardly have time to take a good rest. First, they dealt with the Yuan army as the Red Scarf Army, and then attacked Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng one after another. Strong opponents.

However, the world is still not settled, so Comrade Zhu can only make his brothers work harder.

Only by winning this decisive battle.

Only then can it completely establish the initiative of the Ming Empire to occupy the upper hand.

Otherwise, as long as the main force of the Yuan army exists for a day, Comrade Zhu will have no peace for a day, because they may launch a counterattack at any time, and a tragic war will break out!

Rather than letting the opponent take the initiative, it is better to take the initiative by yourself.

Old Comrade Zhu looked at his good brother Xu Da, and said, "Tiande, you have just come back, and you will be asked to prepare for the army again. It is really hard for you."

Xu Da, who is now named Wei Guogong and Prime Minister Right, clasped his fists together and said: "This is the duty of a general, it's not hard work."

Chang Yuchun, who has a fiery personality, is even more excited: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, as long as Brother Tiande and I are here, the Yuan Dynasty is nothing to worry about. Before the end of this year, I will give the dog head of the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to you." Twist it off and use it as a urinal for you!"

Old Comrade Zhu scolded with a smile: "Boren, don't be shy, who wants the head of the dog emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to be a urinal? We are not afraid of anything, but we can't do anything if we scare the queen."

Chang Yuchun suddenly realized, and changed his words: "Okay, then I will change the dog head of the Yuan Dynasty emperor into a cuju, and let the princes take turns kicking and playing. Men can't be scared by this small scene, and they have to be brave. Protect the country at home."

Old Comrade Zhu said dumbfoundedly: "Well, you Chang Yuchun, you really got into a fight with someone's head."

The battle has not yet begun.

Chang Yuchun had already started thinking about the head of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

Either use it as a urinal, or use it as a Cuju.

If the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty knew Chang Yuchun's imminent thoughts, he would probably be speechless for a while, as if he had dug his ancestral grave. Why don't you be so cruel? Often the two armies fight and capture the boss of the enemy, even if the other party doesn't surrender. It is also to bury the other party well and appease the enemy's army.

It would be better to switch to Chang Yuchun, not only did he not intend to appease the morale of those Yuan Dynasty Tartars, but even planned to stimulate them.

Anyway.

Those who are not from our clan will have a different heart!

If they like to make trouble, Chang Yuchun will clean them up justifiably.

The prince Zhu Biao also seemed a little helpless, he was not very interested in Cuju, and he was even less interested in kicking other people's heads. There is not much reaction, let alone the processed Cuju.

in contrast.

Little Zhu Di, the troublemaker, looked very interested.

All along, he had heard his father and elder brother say how bad the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was, and he wanted to punish him a long time ago.

It's just that I have been suffering from no chance.

If he could kick the head of the dog emperor of the Yuan Dynasty as a Cuju, he would be able to vent his anger. Anyway, little Zhu Di is not afraid of that kind of thing, but he doesn't know if the second brother, the third brother, and his own younger brothers are afraid.

The militant Chang Yuchun asked for the battle: "This time to crusade against the Yuan Dynasty, please also send the last general to the vanguard!"

Only war.

Only then can their generals make more achievements!
As a fierce general on the battlefield, Chang Yuchun was almost born for war, and he belonged to the type who would feel uncomfortable if he didn't fight for a day, because he didn't know what else he could do besides the skill of fighting.

perhaps.

It is precisely because of the ultra-high intensity of the South and North Wars that the number one fierce general in the history of Ming Dynasty.

He passed away early when he was only 40 years old.

"Hey--"

"Don't be so anxious, Boren."

"This time we are not going out for one city and one place, but to swallow all the territory occupied by the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains and Northwest China in one go. This is not an easy task."

"."

After calming down a certain militant, Comrade Zhu looked at the crowd, as if intending to listen to their opinions.

One is short, two are long.

Everyone here is almost the peak talent of this era.

Let's analyze the issue of the Northern Expedition together, find out more loopholes, and fill them in time. Only in this way can the odds of winning this war be greater and the losses smaller. After all, Comrade Zhu's future goal But to conquer the world, if there were heavy casualties in the decisive battle with the Yuan Dynasty.

This will definitely seriously delay his pace of conquering the world!

Chang Yuchun was the first to speak and said: "Your Majesty, the general feels that since we are the first to attack, it is best to launch a surprise attack when the enemy is unprepared. The general is willing to lead an iron cavalry to drive straight in Huanglong, conquer the capital of the Yuan Dynasty!"

this approach.

It's just like the conspiracy of Ziwu Valley proposed by General Wei Yan of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period.

The victory lies in the use of troops!

While the risks are high, the returns are also very high.

Once it fails, the lone army trapped in the enemy's siege is basically in danger, and it is difficult to survive.

Once successful, it can basically establish the outcome of this decisive battle. Directly capturing and beheading the enemy emperor will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Yuan Dynasty. Time will do.

Comrade Zhu, Xu Da and the others would definitely not give the other party this chance.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Before the opponent has fully recovered, completely defeat the enemy's front and continue to expand the results of your own battle!

however.

Regarding Chang Yuchun's proposal.

Comrade Zhu shook his head, as if he didn't want to accept it.

"No!"

"Bo Ren, you are my Great Ming General, and there will be many tough battles for you to fight in the future."

"You can't do such a risky thing."

"In case something happens to you, our Daming will lose a unparalleled warrior who is brave enough to win the three armies."

"We absolutely won't allow it."

"."

Comrade Zhu refused decisively.

He didn't want to take the top generals of his own empire to gamble for such odds, and it didn't mean that Chang Yuchun's proposal was bad.

But in the event of a failure, not only would he not be able to reap any results, but he would also lose a general of the three armies and a side army for nothing.

Boren has fought for himself for so many years.

There was almost no time to stop and take a good rest, and Comrade Zhu felt guilty.

The glory and wealth have not yet been enjoyed.

It is a battle of the South and the North all day long.

But today's Ming Empire is inseparable from Chang Yuchun, the top general of the brave warrior faction, so he has to be sent to battle every time, and Comrade Zhu can only hope that this old man will live well, and then he can enjoy his old age and enjoy the joy of life Happy.

This idea.

There are also some similarities with Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period.

Because Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and other five tiger generals have all passed away, there are very few generals in Shu who can fight well, and only the elderly Zhao Yun and the mainstay Wei Yan are left.

In addition, at that time, the national power of Shu State was far weaker than that of Wei State.

Once Meridian Valley's plot went wrong.

Then not only Wei Yan, the general of the Shu Kingdom, died, but even the army that made a surprise attack could not escape the end of annihilation.

For the Kingdom of Shu, this is absolutely an unacceptable and heavy loss.

"His Majesty--"

"Needless to say, Boren, it is impossible for us to let you take this risk. If I remember correctly, your eldest son is only 16 years old this year. If you have something wrong, what will your Chang family do?" ?”

"Your Majesty, the eldest son of the last general is not too young now. Even if I have a bad one, as long as you take care of him, Your Majesty, it will be fine for the Chang family to be rich."

"We don't listen! Take care of your own son, we don't have the time to take care of your family."

Old Comrade Zhu looked like he didn't want to eat oil and salt.

Although on the battlefield, there is a possibility of dying on the battlefield.

but.

Generally speaking.

Relying on the ferocity of the Ming army, Chang Yuchun's bravery to win the three armies, and the help of many colleagues, the safety rate can be greatly improved, and life and death are at most [-]-[-].

If Chang Yuchun's tactic were to be implemented, if it failed, it would be a near-death situation.

"You nominate a general to perform this mission instead of you. We can agree to let you lead the army in person. That is absolutely impossible."

"This task requires extremely strong decisiveness, as well as a swift surprise attack, it must be carried out by the last general."

of course.

My wife's younger brother, Lan Yu, is very capable and can also take on this role.

When Lan Yu joined the army, she served under Chang Yuchun's tent from the very beginning, and took the post of governor of the army. He praised Sapphire, and later, due to his repeated achievements in battle, he was promoted from Guan Jun Zhenfu to Qianhu and Commander, and later promoted to the governor of the Metropolitan Government.

in the original history.

Lan Yu is one of the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, brave and good at fighting!
He defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the fishing sea, basically destroyed its official system and became famous all over the world.

In Hongwu's 12 years, he was named Yongchanghou, and in Hongwu's 20 years, he was named General Zhenglu.

In the 21st year of Hongwu, he paid homage to the general and the Duke of Liang.

As Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and Chang Yuchun is the father-in-law of the prince Zhu Biao, so as the uncle of the prince concubine, Lan Yu tried his best to maintain the prince's status as the crown prince, and Zhu Yuanzhang formed his son Zhu Biao's first-class military group team in the Ming Dynasty. As a son to inherit the Datong, he completely wiped out Beiyuan's preparations.

however.

There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

The prince died, the emperor's grandson died, and the second son Zhu Yunqi was still young.

In order to avoid the occurrence of a situation where the master is weak and the minister is strong, or because Lan Yu and others are too careless, it has exceeded the limit that Comrade Zhu can tolerate, so Zhu Yuanzhang can only raise the butcher knife in his hand, and prepare for the prince Zhu Biao. All the members of the warrior group were slaughtered, and Lan Yu finally ended up like Zhou Yafu.

In the 26th year of Hongwu, Sapphire was killed for treason, peeled the real grass, and spread it around.

Investigating his henchmen, more than [-] people were implicated in the death.

Known as the "Sapphire Case" in history.

However, in Chang Yuchun's view.

Although Sapphire can take over her task and carry out this surprise attack plan.

But he also knows in his heart that the risk is too great. He is nearly 40 years old now, and he has been in the field for a long time. Naturally, he doesn't care about these life and death. He just likes this kind of hard work. Even if he dies, he will The achievements made are enough for future generations to live a good life.

but.

Sapphire is different.

He is still young and still has a great youth.

In the future, he might become the pillar of the next Ming Empire, and since he is his wife's younger brother, Chang Yuchun naturally couldn't recommend Lan Yu to perform such a task.

"That won't work!"

"Other things are easy to talk about, but this matter is absolutely not."

"The capital of the Yuan Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and the walls are high and thick. It must be impenetrable, and it is difficult to break through it in a short period of time."

"And if you want to go deep alone, you can only lead a surprise attack with light cavalry. You must not be able to carry too many siege equipment. If you can't break through Yuan Dadu in a short time and be blocked under the city wall, food and grass supplies will become a big problem." The question is, when the time comes, the Yuan army from all around will come to support us."

"It will fall into a situation where you can't advance or retreat, and then you will fall into a passive situation."

"."

According to the deployment of troops in the Central Plains and Northwest of the Yuan Dynasty.

As well as the relationship between the various ministries and the political orientation and military strength of the various ministries.

Comrade Zhu analyzed.

of course.

In the end, there is only one reason for this.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want Chang Yuchun to take this risk, and he could try it with other generals, but Chang Yuchun, a Ming general, couldn't have any accidents, otherwise it would not only deal a huge blow to morale, but also make the current The Ming Empire lost a top general for no reason!

See His Majesty's attitude.

Chang Yuchun also knew that His Majesty would never agree to take charge of this surprise attack force by himself.

There was no other way, he had to go back and wait for someone else's proposal.

Liu Bowen, who is good at making plans, bowed his hands at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the strategy of the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty is extremely deep and difficult to accomplish overnight, so it is still very necessary to divide it into several small stages and carry them out separately. of."

Make step-by-step goals.

This is the top priority.

Whether it is marching and fighting, or learning knowledge, it is best to set a staged goal for things that cannot be done immediately, which can save a lot of energy.

Wei Guogong Xu Da said: "If your Majesty chooses the strategy of the Northern Expedition to advance steadily and sequentially, with the Shandong Chief Envoy already in our hands, I suggest attacking Henan first, breaking its wings, and then taking Tongguan and defending it. Its household threshold and the situation of the world are under my control. After entering the capital of Yuan, the enemy will be alone and helpless, and can be conquered without a fight. Once the capital is conquered, the drums will go to the west, and Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and Guanlong will be swept down. .”

As a famous general in the army and a representative of the war-seeking faction.

Xu Da's military suggestions are definitely of great value, and Comrade Zhu naturally listens to them all the time.

throughout the strategic phase.

It can be divided into three parts to execute-

In the first stage, first attack Henan and occupy Tongguan;

In the second stage, capture Hebei and the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and destroy the Yuan Dynasty;
In the third stage, the main force went south from most of the capital to capture Shanxi, slightly settled Shaanxi and Gansu, and completed the unification of the north.

"Tiande is worthy of being a veteran general in the army. His strategic policy is very clear."

"For this Northern Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty, we intend to let you, Tiande, be in command, and Bo Ren will be the deputy commander and concurrently serve as the vanguard general. You can choose the generals in the army."

"By the way, how many soldiers and horses do you think are needed?"

"We can also prepare in advance."

"."

Comrade Zhu adopted Xu Da's suggestion, put down the memorial in his hand, and asked.

Due to the large scale of this war and the great depth of the strategy, and as far as Xu Da knows, the current Ming Empire is short of food and grass, and I am afraid that it cannot support too many large troops in the Northern Expedition. Therefore, we can only estimate as much as possible, and then choose the most suitable one value.

Although His Majesty said before, he still has 20 million shi of rice, enough to feed 4 million people for a whole year.

however.

This sum of rice was transported to the chief envoy of Shandong to help the victims.

He, Xu Da, was naturally embarrassed to say, let the victims eat less, and take back the food for the Northern Expedition, right?

After a long time.

Xu Da, who had almost finished the calculation, said, "A 25 army will be needed at the end."

Comrade Zhu asked: "Is this enough?"

Xu Da was a little helpless: "The more soldiers and horses, the better. After all, the Yuan Dynasty still occupies the north, and the main force is still there. Even if there is an army of 25, the last general may not be able to guarantee a full supply. But now we have to consider the issue of logistics supplies. At that time, there will be more soldiers and horses, and the food will not be enough, so it is better to bring fewer people from the beginning."

Xu Da was worried.

Not without reason.

In ancient wars, the three armies did not move, and the food and grass went first!
Since ancient times, I don’t know how many wars have been fought because the food and grass were burned and cut off, which led to the complete defeat of the army.

No matter how brave you are in fighting, if you have been hungry for days and nights, you will not have the strength to pick up the weapons in your hands, and you will have to let the enemy slaughter you. Therefore, a truly powerful general must pay attention to the protection of his own food supply and the ability to withstand logistics. It is estimated that they are all very powerful.

heard.

Prince Zhu Biao smiled slightly: "Uncle Xu doesn't have to worry about the shortage of food and grass."

Xu Da shook his head again and again: "His Royal Highness, I don't want to touch the food of the people of the Shandong Chief Envoy, and I will be stabbed in the back."

The prince Zhu Biao explained: "I didn't mean that. This time, under the order of my father, the chief envoy to Shandong not only provided disaster relief, but also punished those powerful landlords who maliciously raised the price of grain. For the elders, it is natural to carry out house raids as a warning to others."

Xu Da obviously didn't know how many people's homes had been ransacked by the chief envoy of Shandong Province, and he said a little puzzled, "Even if they ransacked their homes, the few families might not be able to afford the food and grass consumption for hundreds of thousands of troops to go to war, right?"

In Xu Da's view.

It would be nice for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to confiscate a few houses.

For the government of a city, there may be a lot of food and money, but for hundreds of thousands of troops, it is a drop in the bucket.

It is clear.

Xu Da underestimated the means of Prince Zhu Biao.

After seeing the dirty deeds of those powerful landlords, and some of them made unscrupulous speeches at the Confucian family banquet, Prince Zhu Biao's knife went down, but he confiscated many houses, even the most powerful The Kong family, that is also unavoidable.

"Uncle Xu, why don't you guess how much food and money I got from ransacking the house."

"One hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, 10,000 taels of silver?"

"Too few, you can guess again."

"300,000 stone grain grass, 30,000 taels silver?"

"You guessed it, the savings of those landlords and powerful people are far more than this, it is definitely an unimaginable number."

"Could it be that there are 1 million stone grains and 100,000 taels of silver?"

Xu Da said tentatively.

Obviously, he couldn't imagine how rich those moths really are without having formally ransacked the family of the Kong family.

Therefore, the answers given again and again are all low and cannot be lowered.

Poverty limits his imagination.

In Xu Da's view, the 1 million stone grains and 100,000 taels of silver are already astronomical figures. If the transportation loss and the portion of grain eaten by the auxiliary army are not counted, 1 million stone grains are even enough to supply 200,000 troops. Been eating for a whole year.

Of course, real marches and wars definitely cannot be calculated in this way.

Because of the high-intensity movement of the war, the soldiers will definitely eat more. You have to transport it from the rear. In the case of inconvenient transportation, it is not bad if three stones of grain can reach one stone.

There are also weather factors, enemy harassment and so on.

One set counts down.

1 million stones of grain, enough to feed an army of [-] for a year, is considered pretty good.

"Less, too little."

"In this trip to Shandong, we harvested a total of 8 million stones of grain and 10 million taels of silver."

"Among them, the Kong family occupies half of the shares. It can be described as an incomparably rich country, and its methods of collecting money are also appalling."

"."

Prince Zhu Biao narrated his achievements in Shandong.

After hearing this astonishing number, except Comrade Zhu who had already received the news.

The rest of the people couldn't calm down.

This TM is too much, right? !

Since following Comrade Zhu, due to repeated battles and shortage of supplies, they had to tighten their belts in any war and save food and money. This kind of wealth battle that doesn't care about logistics at all, they have never fought in their life !

Zhu Wenzheng, who is the party involved in the ransacking of homes, said that raiding other people's homes and their food and property is indeed an addictive act.

Even, Chang Yuchun's eyes were almost golden at the moment.

Sure enough, the golden belt of murder and arson.

If His Majesty allows, he also wants to personally kill a few notorious landlords who have committed all kinds of crimes, so as to get addicted to ransacking their homes.

"."

Li Shanchang, the head of civil servants.

At this moment, it is completely impossible to maintain the indifference before.

in his eyes.

It seems that there are only small coins floating around.

Generally speaking, money, food and grass cannot shake him. After all, he used to be the big steward of Comrade Zhu's group, managing the material mobilization of the entire force, although he was a little poor.

but.

This is comparable to the Ming Empire's one-year grain tax and two-year fiscal tax.

Li Shanchang, a well-informed and prudent civil servant, almost couldn't help but propose to copy more.

If only a little more.

Why did he have to pick and search every time, wishing to break a grain of rice into two to eat, and break a tael of silver into two halves to use?
"so much?!"

Wang Guangyang was shocked.

If someone else told him that so much was stolen from the house, he would definitely be skeptical.

However, the person who said this was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and with the presence of that lawless guy Zhu Wenzheng, these things became logical, and there was nothing strange or surprising about it.

Juggernaut Changhong kept his eyes closed and meditated, never saying a word.

He has a lot of work during this time, and he doesn't have the energy to get involved in this kind of thing, so let's just be a wooden man quietly.

As for little Zhu Di.

He expressed indignation in his heart.

Brother, this is too unkind. There is such a fun thing, and he doesn't even call himself. He also wants to try the joy of stealing the house. How can he let his cousin enjoy it alone.

but.

Since the ransacking of the house didn't catch up, it's fine if I can catch up with the Northern Expedition.

Father and elder brother will definitely not agree to his going, but little Zhu Di doesn't care, he can sneak out, he has awakened the blood of the unicorn, and he has the pattern of 'waning moon', and he is not something ordinary guards can see , is as slippery as a loach, if you don't pay attention, you will get lost.

"These money and food are currently placed in the Shandong chief envoy."

"It can be shipped to the front line as soon as possible."

"This can not only support the great cause of the Northern Expedition, but it is more than enough to carry out several more wars. The extra part can also be used to build the empire."

"."

Prince Zhu Biao said.

If you have money in your pocket, you can speak hard!
You can do whatever you want, just spend money on it, and you don’t have to be stingy like before, it’s so cool!

Li Shanchang, the chief internal affairs administrator, immediately stood up and patted his chest and said that all these small things are covered by him. Whether it is to supply the logistics of the army's expedition, or to use it for construction, it is a trivial matter.

In the past, when there was no money, there was no way.

Now that he has money, if he doesn't have enough money to do things well, then it would be too embarrassing for Li Shanchang.

Comrade Zhu, who was in a good mood, slapped his thigh at this moment, and said to Xu Da: "Tiande, you heard it too, we don't have many other things now, except that money and food are sufficient, so you don't have to worry about logistics. , Just say how many soldiers and horses you want.”

After solving the logistics problem, Xu Da naturally let go of one concern and said, "Then you will be welcome, I need 300,000 troops for this Northern Expedition!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Obviously not very understanding.

It's not that Xu Da wants too many soldiers and horses, but too few.

To know.

In the original food shortage situation, Xu Da asked for 25 troops, but now that the money and food are sufficient, he only asked for 50,000 more people. This is a bit too conservative. Comrade Zhu thought he would ask for more Four 500,000 troops went to the Northern Expedition.

"That's all it takes?"

"Just that."

"We've only added [-] soldiers and horses, don't we need to add some more?"

"Enough is enough, there are many enemies around our Ming Dynasty, what if we take all the soldiers and horses out and are attacked by the enemy?"

Xu Da waved his hand and said.

In the hands of a top general like him, with [-] more soldiers and horses, the room for manipulation would be much larger.

For this war of the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty, we can earn more chances of winning!

In this regard.

Comrade Zhu is not reluctant.

Since he felt that the 300,000 army would be sure to win, he didn't need to add anything else. Comrade Zhu was still very relieved about his brother's military capabilities.

"However, there is one more thing to ask at the end."

"Go ahead."

"This battle will eventually require the intelligence support of Jin Yiwei, and even when necessary, the assistance of Jin Yiwei to defeat the enemy."

"It's just a small thing, sure."

In the face of the great cause of the Northern Expedition, everything can be delayed a little bit.

Even Jin Yiwei, who is mainly based on intelligence, needs to be transferred to the ranks of fighting if necessary.

of course.

Let professional intelligence personnel die in combat.

This is indeed a very bad deal.

Except for the [-] younger brothers who are commanded by Jin Yiwei and know Tuqi. After all, this can be supplemented casually. The mice don’t have any concept of family and friendship. , the training has been completed recently, just in time to test the training results in this battle.

"."

I heard the conversation between father and uncle Xu Da.

It mentioned the name of Jin Yiwei, which was to be used in this Northern Expedition.

Little Zhu Di's eyeballs rolled around, and he didn't know what kind of plan he was planning, which was unpredictable.

Secretly joined the army in the Northern Expedition.

That definitely won't work.

Because he is only eight years old now, even if he falsely reports his age, the height problem will be irreparable, and he will be seen through at a glance. At that time, he will only be carried back by his father and spanked, and he will be strictly guarded.

but.

If it is through Jin Yiwei, it may be feasible.

After all, Jin Yiwei's commander, Tucci, is also a very short dwarf. (Tucci:?)

This means that among Jinyiwei, as long as you can inquire about information, or have a skill, height doesn't matter at all.

Now the question is.

How to get into Jinyiwei.

Comrade Zhu said: "Tiande, Boren."

The two generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun stepped forward: "The last general is here."

Comrade Lao Zhu warned: "The Northern Expedition should be mainly focused on the crusade against the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, in order to reduce the resistance of the Northern Expedition and win the support of the people, burning, killing and looting are strictly prohibited wherever the king's division goes. The army has turned into an existence like bandits and bandits, harming the people in the north."

Wait until the Yuan Dynasty is defeated.

Those conquered territories became the people of Ming Dynasty.

What he wants is a complete Central Plains and Northwest China, not a deserted land that has been beaten to pieces or robbed completely.

The management of military discipline is particularly important at this moment.

of course.

The brothers have fought in the north and south for so many years, and they must all know Zhu Yuanzhang's rules.

Xu Da said calmly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, brothers all understand that if anyone violates military discipline, they will be beheaded and shown to the public as an example. Regardless of the rank of the official or the size of the title, you must obey the military law in the army. .”

Chang Yuchun asked tentatively: "The people of the Han people, we must not harass them, the Yuan people."

Comrade Zhu cast a glance at him, and made the big man chuckle: "Don't ask us about this kind of thing, just do it yourself, don't go too far."

Although not explicitly stated.

But it seemed like he had said nothing.

At least.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Zhu Wenzheng, Tang He and the old fritters in the army all understood His Majesty's meaning at the first time.

One's own family must not be bullied, this is a matter of principle.

But for others, it is on the boundary of being able to be bullied or not being bullied.

Comrade Zhu naturally welcomes Yuan people who respect the law and are willing to submit to Daming sincerely. After all, the goal of the Ming Empire is to conquer the world. The current population of the Ming Dynasty alone is definitely not enough to occupy the world. , It is also normal to recruit some foreigners occasionally.

in history.

Comrade Lao Zhu established the Duoyan Sanwei to recruit elite cavalry from other races to serve the Ming Empire.

And at the time of Zhu Dijing's difficult battle.

This alien cavalry also played a huge role!

but--

Some Yuan people who are stubborn and want to make troubles all day long, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun can do as they see, some things need not be said too clearly.

"Wang Guangyang."

"The minister is here."

"You issued an appeal to the northern people, putting forward the slogan of "expel the barbarians and restore China". This way, you can have a certain appeal to the northern Han people, and you can actively support us in the Northern Expedition."

"Minister—obey the order."

Just write a short article.

For Wang Guangyang, who will be the right prime minister of the Ming Empire in the future, this is nothing more than a trivial matter.

"Soup and!"

"The end is here!"

"In order to ensure the smooth progress of the Northern Expedition, you are asked to stay at Jianghuai and strengthen your guard against the Yuan army's attack. We don't want to be stolen."

"The general obeys! If a person from the Yuan Dynasty is sent over, the general is willing to come and see him!"

As a good brother of Comrade Zhu when he was young.

Tang He also readily took over the task of defense without any dissatisfaction.

Like Zhu Wenzheng, he is a general who is good at defense. He has built his own line so impregnable that even a mosquito cannot fly over it. This is their talent!
He is very clear.

I am not as good at planning battles as Tiande.

He is not as good at fighting bravely as Boren.

In terms of military talent, they are indeed weaker than the two, and even in terms of defense, they are not as good as Qin Guogong Zhu Wenzheng, so only by giving full play to their talent advantages as much as possible can they barely see the backs of their talents.

"Next-"

"Mobilize all kinds of soldiers and horses, prepare food and logistics, equipment and weapons."

"Ten days later, send troops to the Northern Expedition!"

"."

Comrade Lao Zhu issued a combat order.

Everyone also replied in response, and then retreated to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

Only Comrade Zhu, Prince Zhu Biao, Sword Master Changhong, and Little Zhu Di remained in this imperial study.

I saw no outsiders.

All the people present knew about Qilin.

Prince Zhu Biao didn't have any taboos anymore, and directly saluted his father, "Father, this time I went to the Shandong Chief Envoy, in addition to helping the victims and punishing the powerful, I also got three extra unicorns. Secret treasure—"
