Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Zhu Youxiao hesitated.

This is normal.

You can't overthink anything that involves the military.

Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be observed.

The teachings passed down from the sages are still affecting generations of people today.

Moreover, in the previous battle against Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao trusted the Liaodong warlords too much and asked them to send troops, but they returned in a big defeat. If it weren't for Liaonan's backing, Zhu Youxiao would really not be able to get down this time.

It is precisely because of such an experience that Zhu Youxiao now hesitates to send troops. After all, the grassland is no better than Liaodong, and the Ming army on the grassland really lacks guides.

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think it's time to send troops."

Eunuch Wei asked puzzledly: "Master Zhang, why did you object to the emperor sending troops to Liaodong before, and now you think you should use troops against Mongolia?"

Zhang Haogu explained: "Jiannu in Liaodong is different from Mongolia in Mobei."

"In Liaodong, the imperial court must be pacified, while Mongolia can be divided and recruited."

"Liaodong needs to be leveled, but it cannot be achieved overnight. It needs to be planned slowly, surrounded by three sides, and trapped in groups, so that it does not have room to move."

"My Daming is already very familiar with Liaodong. As long as I follow the steps, Jiannu who has no room for development will be trapped in Liaodong by my Daming. Eat it, you can eat it."

"But Mongolia is different. Mongolia is now divided into east and west. There are more than a dozen major alliances, and there are countless small and medium tribes. It is no longer the unified Mongolian Yuan. Insert a nail from top to bottom to deter the various ministries of the grassland, and at the same time divide and attract some."

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Zhang Haogu smiled and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is a vicious dog, and I, Daming, have locked him up. As long as you ignore him and starve, this vicious dog will sooner or later become a dead dog."

"Mongolia is a pack of wolves. Although it is a pack of sick wolves right now, once the pack of wolves gets hungry, they will jump over the fence and come to Da Ming to grab food. To deal with a pack of wolves, of course we can't use the tactics we use against dogs."

"Beat wolves, you can divide and recruit, throw a few bones over, and the hungry wolf that grabs the bone will bite the bone while staring at other hungry wolves with grinning teeth. These hungry wolves, as long as you beat them , Throw a bone every now and then, and you can become a dog that guards the house."

"Therefore, Liaodong can be slowed down, but the grassland needs to be urgent, because Daming is on the grassland, but his eyes are smeared."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "According to Master, I, Daming, want to help the Bahrain Department's request for help?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "If you want to help, you must help, and you must help in a fair and aboveboard way, so that all the tribes on the grasslands can see what it means to be attached to my Ming Dynasty, and what to do if you disobey me."

"This Bahrain department, the emperor can order it to be included. We divide them into pastures and provide them with seed crops. We also regard them as my Ming's subjects and follow my Ming laws. Within two generations, this Bahrain department It will completely become a part of Daming."

"And I, Ming, can use the Bahrain Department to get familiar with the grassland and train an elite team that can fight on the grassland."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu: "Master, do you want to Sinicize them?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Since I am attached to my Ming Dynasty, I naturally have to learn my language, write my words, and wear my clothes. Otherwise, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Youxiao slapped the table suddenly, which startled Eunuch Wei: "Master is right!"

"Since you want to attach my Ming Dynasty, you have to follow my Ming's rules. If you don't learn Chinese, don't write Chinese characters, don't wear my Han family clothes, and don't understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of attachment is it?"

"In the future, all ministries and alliances on the grassland must follow such rules."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said again: "Then, is there any qualified candidate for the master to send troops to the Tatars?"

Zhang Haogu frowned when he heard that, now the soldiers in southern Liaoning must not move, Huang Taiji would not dare to move lightly when the army in southern Liaoning was in Anshan for one day.

As for those warlords in Liaodong?

Who remembers these people now?
The imperial court does not hold them accountable at the moment, and does not pay any attention to them. The food and salaries are returned every year. At that time, I have to spit it out to the court!
And Yuan Chonghuan couldn't move even more. The [-] new troops currently in Ganshan are the main force guarding Ganshan and deterring Tumet and Turfan.

There is a shortage of soldiers, Daming lacks an elite soldier who can be mobilized at any time!
This is the sigh of Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu at the moment.

If it wasn't for Bao Zong, how could the three major battalions of the Ming Dynasty have lost their elites so that the imperial court had no available soldiers and horses?
Zhang Haogu thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, how about transferring troops from the three major battalions?"

The three camps?
Zhu Youxiao asked, "Are the three major battalions worth using at the moment?"

Today, there are three battalions in the capital, the three thousand battalions are divided into three battalions, with a total of 6000 people, the Shenji battalion is divided into five battalions, with a total of 4000 people, and the five army battalions are divided into five battalions, with a total of 3 people, a total of 5 people.

These 5 people were trained on the model of the new army. Except for the third battalion of the 6000 battalion as cavalry, and the middle army of the fifth battalion as cavalry, the rest were infantry. There were 4000 cavalry and [-] infantry.

But right now the training time for the new army is short, so it's still a question of whether they can use it. It's okay to fight in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, but it's a problem for them to cross the vast sea to go to the grassland.

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if the three major battalions can be used, let's find out if we ask."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Wei Banban, please invite Uncle Dingyuan Cao Wenzhao to come."

Soon, Cao Wenzhao came to the West Garden of the Imperial Palace: "See Your Majesty."

"Get up."

After Cao Wenzhao got up, he saluted Zhang Haogu again: "Shoufu."

Zhang Haogu nodded with a smile, and said, "Wen Zhao, the emperor and this pavilion called you here to ask you, how is the training of the three major battalions going?"

"If the imperial court wants to use troops right now, are the three battalions worth using?"

Use troops? !
Hearing this news, Cao Wenzhao's eyes almost brightened. The last time he used troops against Liaodong, the imperial court didn't use the three battalions. He thought he would have a chance when Liaodong was defeated, but he didn't expect Liaonan to defeat Jiannu. Daying did not catch up with the opportunity from beginning to end.

Now, it seems that the court is going to mobilize troops again, how can he miss the opportunity to make meritorious service? !

Immediately, Cao Wenzhao patted the Mingguang breastplate on his chest and said:

"If you go back to the emperor, the training of the three major battalions has achieved initial results. The soldiers have not slackened in their hard training for a day. Now they are ready to serve the emperor!"
