Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

When Enkehan and Hailisu were testing each other and guarding against each other, Zhu Yunxi had already held a symposium on the analysis of Beiyuan operations in Beigong.

The participants this time included Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, and Tang He, who had retired to the second line long ago but had been stranded in the capital for recuperation.

Lao Zhu also participated in the audition, and brought along a few generals of the younger generation who he looked more pleasing to the eye, such as Li Jinglong, Mei Yin and others.

The number one enemy of the Ming Dynasty will always be Beiyuan in the north. Besides, whether it is Vietnam, Japanese pirates at sea, or Li Fangyuan of the Northern Dynasty who kept testing Liaodong, they are all just scabies.

After all, compared to these small troubles, the grassland nomads are the decisive force that can bring disaster to the Central Plains and overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi sent an internal reference to all the participants, which recorded in detail all the information collected by Jin Yiwei about Beiyuan.

It's just that there are true and false information in this information, and the veterans present need to distinguish through experience.

"Have you all finished reading, now tell us your thoughts?"

Fu Youde looked at the others and saw that they didn't mean to speak, so he got up and said.

"Elebek Khan's succession to the throne should be true, and it must be true that Haohai Dayu, who was born in Wala, was reused. As for the fight between Ugqihashiha and Haohai Dayu, there is no evidence for this matter, and further confirmation is needed. "

"General Lan, what's your opinion?"

When Lan Yu heard the words, she didn't look at anyone and just started spraying.

"What the hell is this? How dare you show this old man information like this?"

"If the old man's scouts were so perfunctory, the old man would have killed his whole family long ago!"

Zhu Yunxi explained in embarrassment when he heard the words.

"Beiyuan's investigation is tight now, and it's not easy for our Jinyiwei spies to sneak in..."

Sapphire curled her lips when she heard the words, and her voice became a little softer.

"That can't be fooled like this, there is no defense map, let's analyze the fart?"

Seeing that Lan Yu even dared to hate his eldest grandson, Lao Zhu couldn't hold back his old face on the spot, so he stood up and kicked Lan Yu's chair.

Lan Yu just wanted to scold, but when she turned her head and saw it was Lao Zhu, she hurriedly got up and bowed her head to say hello.

"So it's the superior!"

"The superior kicked it really well, it made our chairs rattle!"

Old Zhu didn't like his tricks, he said with a cold face.

"The child asks you something, if you know it, just say a few more words, if you don't know it, just shut up, what are you talking about?"

Lan Yu hurriedly agreed upon hearing this.

"The superior is right!"

"Let's shut up...shut up..."

Old Zhu snorted coldly and returned to his seat.

"You guys continue!"

With the episode of Lao Zhu, the analysis forum suddenly became a little more tense.

Fu Youde and the others, who were already a little apprehensive, didn't know what to say at this time.In the end, it was Zhu Yunxi who spoke first to break the deadlock.

"The deployment map is not difficult to make. When we officially fight Beiyuan, I can mobilize the flying team to do reconnaissance in the sky."

"It's just that for now, we haven't reached the real decisive battle with Bei Yuan, and I don't want to reveal too much of my cards."

"Today we only analyze the general situation of Beiyuan, and then formulate a strategy for dealing with Beiyuan in the future."

"This cycle will be very long, maybe three to five years, or ten to eight years."

"I also invite everyone to speak freely and brainstorm."

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Tang He hesitated to speak.

"The momentum..."

"Actually, fighting Beiyuan is not entirely our Ming's business. We can still unite with other tribes."

"What about Horqin, Wuliangha, and Dongchahatai, etc., they can all be contacted..."

After hearing Tang He's words, Fu Youde secretly praised Tang He's greatness. Tang He's words turned the extermination of Beiyuan into a joint resistance against the enemy, which could not be more secure.

Although the strength of the few tribes he mentioned is average, they can't stand up to the large numbers. If they can really cooperate with Daming to attack Beiyuan, it will still be a big help.

Lan Yu hurriedly added a sentence after Tang He finished speaking.

"Tang Shuai is right!"

"For the grassland nomadic tribes, the tribal enmity between them is much greater than the enmity against Daming."

"Because of the battles between the tribes on the grassland, it is really endless, killing more than the wheels!"

"If the grandson of the emperor doesn't mind the trouble, we can still try to unite a few tribes. As long as we give them some food, grass and weapons, they will be able to drive for Ming Dynasty."

"If we can divide the pastures for them and allow them to trade with Daming, they can rush forward screaming!"

Zhu Yunxi said to Kong Yanjin who was beside him when he heard the words.

"Write it all down, I will read it often in the future."

"Back to the emperor's grandson, I have memorized it, there is no mistake or omission."

Zhu Yunxi turned his head and said to the people present.

"The strategy of uniting other tribes to attack Beiyuan is feasible. I have tried it in Guihua City in the past two years, and the effect is not bad."

"As Duke Liang said just now, the grassland tribes hate each other more than they hate Daming."

"After all, we just wanted to drive them away, and we didn't think about occupying their playground, occupying their wives and children."

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the government affairs hall, and even Lan Yu was poked by the "Liang Guogong" and smiled silly.

Sapphire smiled, and looked at Lao Zhu secretly.Seeing the provocative little eyes of this guy, Lao Zhu couldn't help snorting, and turned his head away.

Isn't it just our grandson calling you Liang Guogong, what's so beautiful...

Zhu Yunxi continued after everyone laughed.

"I have tried to open up trade in Guihua City, and the herdsmen with a radius of thousands of miles have benefited."

"According to the report of the frontline general Chang Sheng, the herdsmen at the bottom of Beiyuan are not that loyal to Beiyuan. As long as they divide the pastures, guarantee their grazing rights, and allow them to exchange cattle and sheep for enough living supplies, they will Be as loyal to Daming as the people of Daming."

Sapphire interrupted again after hearing the words.

"It's natural."

"If you distribute ten tea bricks to each household, those herdsmen will be able to offer your tablets."

"If you can give them dozens of catties of salt, they will forget about Changshengtian and burn incense and kowtow to you every day!"

Fu Youde took Lan Yu's words and continued.

"General Lan's words are a bit of a joke, but they are very useful to the grassland herdsmen."

"Actually, the low-level herdsmen are very miserable. After our Daming retreat, they don't even drink tea, and they don't even have iron pots for cooking meat. They can only use horse skin as a pot to cook meat."

"Now the emperor's grandson has opened an opening for them at the border. For the herdsmen at the bottom, they are already like living Bodhisattvas."

Others also agreed one after another, talking about some Beiyuan customs that Zhu Yunxi didn't know, and they talked about Fengyue.

"The women in the prairie are also pitiful. Seeing our Daming man, he dragged him into the tent like crazy..."

"General Lan, you must have been dragged a lot, right?"

"pull!"

"We are on the prairie, so we have to sleep on our backs!"

"Choose to sleep?"

"For example, Princess Beiyuan?"

"Of course……"

When Lan Yu said this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why did the guy who spoke just now sound a bit like Old Zhu?

Lan Yu looked back nervously, just in time to bump into Lao Zhu's gloomy old face, so frightened that he almost slipped off the chair.

"Superior... We were just bragging..."

"Humph!"

"Continue with the meeting, no one is allowed to talk about those useless things!"

Lao Zhu corrected the meeting topic again, making the meeting on the right track again.

"Everyone, if Gu Ruo wants to destroy Bei Yuan, roughly how many troops, how many supplies, which directions will he start from, and how long will it take?"

"Who can make a general plan for Gu, so that Gu knows what is still lacking now."

Hearing this, Fu Youde thought for a while and said.

"If Bei Yuan is defeated, one hundred thousand elite soldiers are enough."

"If you want to completely wipe out Beiyuan...according to my estimate, at least 50 elite soldiers are needed."

"That's not even counting the people who transport grain. It is estimated that there will be more than 200 million people who transport grain..."

Tang He heard the words without saying a word, but nodded slightly.Seeing this, the others were also silent for a while, replacing support with silence.

Lao Zhu just frowned and didn't say anything to object.

Because this matter is not a secret, he discussed it with his officials when he proclaimed himself emperor in the first year.

Now compared to that year, there are many fewer troops. According to the calculations of the year, if the whole country of Ming Dynasty puts out 100 million elite soldiers, it may not be able to completely wipe out Beiyuan.

In the past twenty years or so, the required military strength is only half that of that year, which in his opinion is already a huge bargain.

However, for Zhu Yunxi, this number is still too many, too many to bear.

"no!"

"This number is too many. Our Daming is now in a state of waiting for prosperity, and we simply can't get so many people to fight!"

"It's okay to play for a few months, but if it lasts for three to five years, we Daming can't make a living?"

Hearing this, Fu Youde shook his head helplessly.

"Then there's no way."

"To be honest, 50 people throwing grasslands may not be enough. The grasslands are too big. We can't possibly surround all of Weitra. As long as there is a gap, they can escape into the vast grasslands."

The meeting reached a stalemate here. Zhu Yunxi was reluctant to part with so many people and was unwilling to spend so much supplies, but the others had no way to save money.

After a while, Sapphire spoke lazily.

"Emperor grandson, if you can trust me, you can give me a hundred thousand soldiers!"

When Lan Yu said this, everyone in the Government Affairs Hall was shocked.But after being surprised, they saw that the speaker was Sapphire, and swallowed back their unconvinced words one by one.

Zhu Yunxi was also very moved when he heard this. If he only supported an expedition of 10 people, the cost of food and grass would be much lower, and it would not take up a lot of civilian labor.

However, when Zhu Yunxi was quite moved, a voice of opposition came from the government affairs hall.

"no!"

"We disagree!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and held back their laughter.

They had already guessed that Lao Zhu would object, but now that Lao Zhu really jumped out, they couldn't help but want to burst out laughing.

Looking at Ming Dynasty, only His Majesty the Emperor can cure Sapphire.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu looked at Lao Zhu with a bitter face.

"Superior!"

"Let's say you grew up watching me, so can't you give me more trust?"

Old Zhu rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Why should we trust you?"

"If we dare to hand over the army to you, you dare to bring people back to force us to abdicate!"

"Superior!"

Lan Yu still wanted to distinguish a few words for herself, but Lao Zhu was too lazy to talk to him, and turned to look at Zhu Yunxi.

"Big grandson, Li Jinglong is not bad, he is quite a soldier."

"If you really want to start a war against Bei Yuan, you can make him the leader of the army."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong, who was accompanying him in the last seat, and couldn't help thinking about the flames of Zhu Di's invasion of Nanjing City.

What look in the eyes of Grandpa Huang, why did he recognize Li Jinglong?
If I really handed over the army to him, would he have to rush to welcome Fourth Uncle back to Lord Qing's side?

When Li Jinglong heard Lao Zhu call his name, his heart was also agitated. He immediately puffed up his chest and looked at the emperor grandson with burning eyes.

This is a recommendation from His Majesty the Emperor. Even if the grandson of the Emperor doesn't want to see him anymore, he still has to give His Majesty some face, right?

However, to Li Jinglong's disappointment, the grandson of the emperor only glanced at him and avoided the topic of Lao Zhu.

"We'll talk about it later."

"Let's start with the 50 troops that Duke Ying just said."

"If Ming sent 50 troops, the food and grass needed by the army would have to be shipped in advance, and it would have to be shipped to the northern border before the official war."

"Besides, it is impossible for 50 people to be crowded together. They must be divided into several groups. How should the generals of these groups be distributed?"

Feng Sheng has been waiting for the opportunity, and immediately answered Zhu Yunxi when he heard Zhu Yunxi say this.

"The old man can lead the way!"

Hearing this, Fu Youde also raised his hand obediently.

"It's no problem for me to lead 10 horses."

Lan Yu looked back at Lao Zhu and said weakly.

"Boss, how about I lead the way too?"

Old Zhu scolded mercilessly.

"roll!"

"As long as we live, you will never touch military power in your life!"

Seeing that Lao Zhu was angry, Tang He hurried out to smooth things over.

"I don't want to argue, I can keep these two legs until now, thanks to the blessing of the emperor's grandson."

"But the old man can recommend a few people to the emperor's grandson."

"It's good that Geng Jun used his brother's son, Geng Bingwen. In the early years, King Kaiping and King Zhongshan made many military exploits in Datong, Shaanxi and other places. He is a person who is more knowledgeable about military affairs among the younger generation."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.He also has a good impression of Geng Bingwen, he is honest and stable, and he has the style of a general.

But its general is too stable, more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack.

But as the main general along the way, it shouldn't be a big problem.After all, with a strong general like Chang Sheng around, it's not his turn to be the main attacker, and he can just beat and drum as much as he can.

"There is another person who is not bad. This person is Jining Wei Commander Ping Baoer. He has a lot of strategy and good martial arts. Even if he can't be the main general, he can be a deputy general and follow his experience."

After Tang He said the name of this person, the people in the government affairs hall kept shouting in their hearts.

No wonder Tang He can live for so long, he really deserves the title of old fox.

This Ping Baoer's name was Ping An, and he was the son of Ping Ding, a general who followed Lao Zhu in the early days. Ping Ding died in battle in his early years, and Lao Zhu directly adopted him as his adopted son. He was one of Lao Zhu's most trusted young generals.

Tang He's recommendation of such a person can be said to have been recommended to Lao Zhu's heart.

Sure enough, when Lao Zhu heard Tang He recommending his adopted son, his old face turned into a flower with a smile.

"Paul is indeed a good kid, but he is still young and needs to practice more."

"Why don't we transfer him back from Jining and let him go to the front line to fight a few battles with Chang Sheng to get used to the wind and sand in the north..."

Tang He heard the words and hurriedly offered a rainbow fart.

"Superior Shengming!"

"In this way, this child also has combat experience, and he will definitely be able to stand on his own in the future!"
