I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

"The Supreme Emperor, the general feels that we should follow the offensive route of the Yuan Dynasty all the way westward, breaking the city when encountering the city, breaking the army when encountering the army, and advancing steadily and slowly."

"Fart, take the route of the Yuan Dynasty, it's the way to die."

"When Genghis Khan marched west, he didn't think about logistics at all. He used war to support his war. Our attack this time has millions of troops, and most of the way is deserted and Gobi. We can give us all the supplies. Wear down."

"This is still without increasing the number of sick troops. According to our calculations, at least 300 million troops will be used to conquer the West."

"Old man Liu, have you ever thought about how many people are needed for an army of more than 300 million to transport supplies?"

"Fart me, isn't Lao Tzu the kind of person who doesn't consider reality? Don't we have the Three Bengzi Legion? With the carrying capacity and speed of the Three Bengzi, it can fully support the supply of the army, not to mention the super transportable What about the airship unit?"

"Damn, you're thinking beautifully. The Three Bengzi Legion don't need money for equipment, and airship manufacturing doesn't need money. Let me tell you, old man, if these legions move casually, golden beans will be scattered on the ground."

Beiping, Imperial Palace, Kyushu Operation Command Room.

This is the top secret of the Ming Dynasty, and those who can hold meetings here are all trustworthy generals and ministers.

There is only one purpose for forming this place, to conquer the west and unify the world.

Although there are still 10 years to go before the day when the imperial court decides to go to war, everything needs to be prepared.

Especially the old man and those elderly veterans, knowing that they might not live to that day, decided to formulate the entire Western Expedition plan before they died.

So after the plateau war was settled, Zhu Zhangui handed over the combat matters to Jianghuai, and returned to Beiping by himself to study the western expedition plan with these veterans.

Of course, the main reason is to be with the old man.

After returning, Zhu Zhangui originally wanted to take the old man around to see the wonderful mountains and rivers of Daming.

As a result, the old man was not interested at all. Instead, he wanted to formulate a plan to conquer the world to unify the world, and to do everything in advance for his fat son and his grandson.

Zhu Zhangui couldn't resist the old man, so he discussed with his father and established the top secret Ming Dynasty, the Kyushu Operation Command Room.

Every day after Zhu Zhangui finished helping his father with his affairs, he came here to accompany the old man and the veterans to discuss the plan for the Western Expedition.

In addition to them, Zhu Gaoxu, who was paralyzed at home and was about to become decadent, and Zhu Gaosui, who had been idle all day long, were also invited over.

In the words of the old man, your two uncles have fought wars all their lives. They may not be as good at other things, but they are still very sensitive to wars.

Now that one of them is disabled and the other is powerless, you don’t have to worry about the two of them making trouble for you. Instead of letting them be idle at home, it’s better to let them participate in it, maybe something different will happen. spark.

Naturally, Zhu Zhangui would not refuse.

As the old man said, the second uncle was paralyzed at home, and the third uncle didn't even have a soldier except for a few guards, so he was worried about this and that, so he, the prince, didn't have to mess around.

The two people who were summoned to the command room, their originally decadent spirits suddenly became excited, and followed a group of veterans, discussing various battle plans and the situations they would encounter all day long, chatting happily.

Today is August 8, which is an ordinary day for everyone, but for Zhu Zhangui, this day is not ordinary.

Because according to the historical records, the old man was gone on this day, so he rushed over early in the morning and stayed with the old man to watch the old man.

But seeing the old man chewing a popsicle in his mouth, holding a fan in his hand, and discussing the battle plan with a group of veterans with great interest, Zhu Zhangui felt that his worry might be a little unnecessary.

"Oh!"

The veteran who got angry again because of discussing the plan, slapped the table, pointed at the old man opposite who rejected his plan, and roared: "Xu, you say my plan is not good, then tell me about your plan, I will listen to it." What's your opinion?"

"Peace of mind, peace of mind!"

Yu Qian, who was called to help him, quickly walked up with a plate of popsicles, and persuaded the two old men who had already quarreled to turn off the fire.

The two old men secretly took a look at the old man, seeing that he was eating a popsicle with great interest and looking at the sand table, not paying attention to the two of them, they were secretly relieved, each picked up a popsicle, glared at each other and started eating.

"Hmph, if you want to listen to me, that's fine, I will let you open your eyes."

After taking a bite of the popsicle, the veteran surnamed Xu put away his folding fan, and Zhu Gaosui waved forward, "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, tell this old guy about our plan."

Perhaps in order to create a different spark, the old man divided the veterans into two teams, one led by Zhu Gaosui and the other led by Zhu Gaoxu, and they made plans for the Western Expedition respectively, hoping to see which one was the best.

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu should have come to speak just now, but Zhu Gaoxu could only talk and couldn't stand up like that, so he was led by the second-in-command veteran.

"Hehe, I will ask my father and uncles to enlighten me on that line."

Zhu Gaosui, who was watching the two old men quarreling with his hands behind his back, saw that it was his turn to shine, he bowed his hands at the old man and the veterans, picked up a baton and began to explain.

"Our plan here is this."

From everyone's point of view, Zhu Gaosui marked three locations on the sand table in front of him, namely Sarai, which is adjacent to the Golden Horde, Bandar Abbas, which is opposite the sharp corner of Yemen, and the canal area.

"Our plan is to attack in three directions. Here in Sarai we will use [-] battalions of reorganized light cavalry as the main offensive force. Its main combat mission is to imitate the Mongols, penetrate into the enemy's interior, destroy their cultivation, and disrupt the internal order of the enemy's country. Provide cover for forward operations."

"We decided to lead this part with Qian Yu, the head of the Seventh Legion. This general is brave in battle and has the courage to fight and fight. It is very suitable. It would be even better if we send a cautious veteran to cooperate."

After talking about the north, the baton in Zhu Gaosui's hand slid down and pointed to the location of Bandar Abbas.

"Oman is already under our control. Here we can directly attack the hinterland of the Timurid Empire. It is the best place to attack and land."

"Our idea is to send 60 troops from here to attack by sea ships, and cooperate with the troops in Asan Province to defeat the Timurid Empire in one fell swoop."

"And more importantly, it's close to Asan province. Our Ming navy is the largest in the world. There are no enemies at sea. Food supplies are not a problem at all. You can fight without any worries."

With everyone nodding in agreement, Zhu Gaosui pointed down the Tianlong Canal.

"The Roco Kingdom has launched an attack on the enemy according to the plan. With our support, even if we can't win, it can last until the day we launch the attack."

"Our idea is to land here with 80 troops and build a large supply base in Jerusalem."

Sliding his hand up slightly, Zhu Gaosui sneered and said, "The army is attacking northward, completely cutting off the connection between Timur and Ottoman."

"Our idea is that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. The two main forces of the Alliance of Allah are Ottoman and Timur. As long as one of them is dealt with, the next Ottoman will be easy to fight."

"Solve the two largest powers in the West at present, and the rest of the small countries!"

Zhu Gaosui withdrew his baton, looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Who can stop me, Daming?"

He stretched out a finger and said confidently: "As long as the biggest enemy, the Alliance of Allah, is eliminated, within ten years, the world will submit to my flag."

"it is good!"

The old man, who hadn't spoken during the two quarrels just now, couldn't help saying hello after hearing Zhu Gaosui's battle plan.

He turned his head to look at the side of the sand table, leaning against Zhu Gaoxu who was standing on a custom-made standing stretcher.

"Second brother, you are still thinking too seriously about the army, ignoring the powerful navy of our Ming Dynasty and the rising air force. This is the thoughtful consideration of the third child."

Now Zhu Gaoxu, who is not arguing about anything, laughed when he heard his father's words.

"Father, our Daming's development is really too fast, if we slack off a bit, we won't be able to keep up with the rhythm."

"Hahaha…"

The veterans also burst into laughter.

"Little brat, what do you think of your third uncle's plan?"

The old man looked at Zhu Zhangui who was with him all the time, and wanted him to talk about his thoughts.

Although these people are discussing so lively, Zhu Zhangui still needs to decide how to fight at that time.

After all, on the day when the war started, the old guys present, including him, were probably halfway through, and they couldn't help Zhu Zhangui even if they wanted to.

Zhu Zhangui, who heard about the battle plans of the two parties, was also thinking about which one was more suitable.

When the old man asked, Zhu Zhangui already had a general idea in his mind.

"Second Uncle and the others are conservative in their thinking, but it is not without merit."

"Third Uncle's plan is good, but he ignored the navy's transportation capacity. It will take at least 1-2 years to transport millions of troops from Ming Dynasty to the attacking location."

"We can afford to wait for this time, the enemy will not give us this time."

"Once the enemy discovers our intentions, they will take the lead in launching an attack with a large army, and then we will send troops over, which will become a refueling tactic."

"Whether we win or lose, our side inherently loses the advantage of surprise attacks."

"So in my mind, the East's offensive is still the main focus, and the West's assistance is supplemented."

With that said, Zhu Zhangui took the baton in Zhu Gaosui's hand and began to talk about his thoughts.

"Third Uncle's plan to cut off one finger is worse than hurting his ten fingers, and I think so too."

"However, the battle plan needs to be changed. Instead of attacking by sea, attack by land."

"In my mind, Zhang Fu will form the main force to attack the Timurid Empire from the Asan area."

"On the plateau side, there is the plateau corps led by Jianghuai, which cooperates with Zhang Fu to advance westward."

"The Sarai side was divided into two armies. Qian Yu Dengheng led two assault armies respectively. They set out from Sarai and launched an attack on Salimang, completely cutting off the connection between the Ottoman Empire and the Timurid Empire."

"On the other side, the marine corps led by Qi Yuan cooperated with the Roco Kingdom and rushed northward. After joining forces with the two corps of Qian Yu and Deng Heng, they blocked the rescue of the Ottoman Empire, and cooperated with the other two corps to completely annihilate Tie Muer Empire."

"The navy can't be idle either. In addition to delivering supplies and grass to the various troops, I plan to let the navy pass through the canal and enter the Mediterranean Sea to attack the Ottoman seaside cities, causing complete chaos inside and not intending to rescue Timur."

"If necessary, Bandar Abbas will organize an assault force to break the Timur Empire in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhangui looked at the crowd with a baton in his hand and said: "Once the Timurid Empire is wiped out, the next step is to launch an attack on Ottoman, and try to get Ottoman within five years."

"If the national strength and control areas are under control by then, I will order a further offensive to the west. If the national strength is exhausted after several years of war, I will consider a temporary ceasefire and wait a few years before launching the final unification battle."

After speaking, he looked at everyone.

"I know that everyone's desire for Da Ming to rule the world is urgent, but ruling the world is not as simple as eating a snack. Even if you eat a snack, you have to eat it one bite at a time."

"People can't become fat if they eat too much. If they eat too much, they will either be stuffed to death or choked to death. We can't bring endless troubles to future generations for the sake of momentary honor."

"Clap clap clap..."

After Zhu Zhangui's words fell, the old man clapped his hands in satisfaction, and the other veterans also nodded in agreement.

As Zhu Zhangui said, it may be because they are old and eager to think about Ming Dynasty ruling the whole world, but they ignore the question of whether the national power can hold it.

"Okay, then the specific plan..."

After the applause fell, the old man had just opened his mouth to make a final summary when there was a knock on the door, interrupting his speech.

"The Supreme Emperor, Your Highness the Crown Prince, urgently report from Jerusalem that the Ottoman Empire has launched a full-scale counterattack against the Roco Kingdom."

"Come in!"

Hearing that it was the urgent report from the West, the old man stopped talking and asked Hu Yu to come in quickly.

After receiving the order, Hu Yu opened the door and walked in, handed the telegram to the old man, raised his hand in salute, and withdrew to the side to wait for the order.

Putting on the reading glasses that Zhu Zhangui matched for him, the old man squinted his eyes and read the telegram.

The others held their breath and watched the old man wait.

"Change the sand table!"

After reading the general content, the old man waved his hand and led the people to another sand table.

A group of people roared to another sand table. The old man handed the telegram to Zhu Zhangui, picked up a baton and said to everyone: "Just yesterday, the Ottoman Empire launched a counterattack against the Roco Kingdom."

"Omurad, this little brat, has a poisonous eye. He saw the weakness of the Roco Kingdom at a glance. He sent a large fleet to transport 3 elite soldiers to attack our canal and Jerusalem, intending to completely destroy the Roco Kingdom's backline. cut off, and then cooperate with the main army to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"It's a pity that this brat doesn't know that due to lack of manpower, Qi Yuan ordered the squadron to stand by the canal. As a result, the fleet he sent to attack directly collided with each other. The two sides fought a battle, and retreated after a simple contact. gone."

"Zheng He sent a call. Considering the next situation, Qi Yuan may not be able to handle it with a single legion. I hope that the imperial court will send another 1-2 legions, as well as a part of the naval fleet to assist in the battle."

"In addition, according to the information they received, the Ottoman Empire is also strong enough this time. In addition to the 3 elite army that raided, Omurad personally led an army of 15 to meet Rocco's army."

While the old man was talking, Yu Qian, who was in charge of the strike, quickly inserted the signs representing all parties into the sand table.

After the old man finished talking here, his side also almost missed the flag.

After the old man finished speaking, all the generals looked at the sand table, frowning and thinking.

The general surnamed Xu who was arguing with another general at the beginning stroked his white beard and said, "I think it might not be enough to send one or two legions. Although the army of the Roco Kingdom has been trained by our soldiers, the feedback on its combat capabilities is not enough. How good it is, plus there are many soldiers recruited by force, and the morale of the army is not very stable."

"It's okay if you fight with the wind, but if you gnaw on a hard bone, you may collapse at any time."

"So in order to prevent our Western ally from collapsing before we make a move, I suggest increasing the number of additional legions to 4-5. Once the Roco army has the possibility of collapsing, we should take action immediately and forcibly control it. .”

"Then retreat to the rear line, establish a long-term defense base in Jerusalem, and fight a war of attrition with the Ottoman Empire, while consuming the power of the Ottoman Empire, while delaying until the day we are ready."

The other generals nodded their heads when they heard the words, and the old man also nodded slightly to express his acquiescence.

"Little boy, what do you think?"

The old man once again looked at Zhu Zhangui who had finished reading the telegram.

Handing the telegram in his hand to Yu Qian, Zhu Zhangui smiled and said: "Grandpa Xu's idea is very good, and my grandson has nothing to add. Just draw two corps from the Army, and two corps from the Marine Corps, and then from Quanzhou Take out a local garrison army there, and send 5 army troops there."

"The garrison army can defend the canal, and the rest of the army is stationed in Jerusalem. On the one hand, it can support the canal, and on the other hand, it can also prevent the collapse of Roco's army."

"In terms of the navy, after several years of construction, the First Armored Squadron has been formed. My idea is to send them there, first to deter the enemy, and second, to let them try the sea to see if there is any problem with the ship. "

With a few simple words from Zhu Zhangui, he determined the amount of support and the simple battle plan that followed.

In the end, everyone discussed and made some additions, and the meeting was successfully concluded. The veterans left the palace in twos and threes. Hearty laughter broke out from time to time on the road, obviously talking about something happy.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Zhangui did not let them go back, but instead sent people to bring their families into the palace, the reason was that there was a family gathering tonight.

"Little brat, you will be 15 in a few days. Why are you holding a banquet today? Are you going out again?"

Knowing that Zhu Zhangui was going to hold a family banquet, the old man was a little puzzled.

There are still a few days until the [-]th of August. Why is there a banquet at this time? Does this kid want to go to the west with the army and prepare the [-]th banquet in advance.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the energetic old man and said with a smile: "No, I have no plans to go out in the past two years. As for why the banquet is held, hehe, grandpa is in good health today, and grandson wants to celebrate it. Is that reason enough?"

Hearing such an answer, the old man was taken aback for a moment, laughed and patted Zhu Zhangui on the head.

"Hahaha enough, enough, let's go, let's go to the East Palace, I haven't eaten a few dishes made by my granddaughter-in-law for a long time, and my mouth is hungry."

Tonight's East Palace is full of laughter. A group of little guys are singing and dancing to the drums in the banquet hall, celebrating the health of Grandpa today.

Zhu Pangpang finished his work ahead of schedule today, and sat with his second and third brothers, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, chatting about the past.

As the queen, Mrs. Zhang took her two younger siblings and several daughters-in-law, and whispered women's whispers.

Zhu Zhangui and Zhu Zhanji took Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's sons to play poker, which was recently developed in Daming, and yelled for the losers to drink quickly.

The old man sitting in the first place watching this harmonious scene couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He looked at the bright moon in the sky, which had begun to semicircle, and murmured proudly in his heart.

"Old monk, you really miscalculated. I, Zhu Di, are wicked, and my children and grandchildren are all good."
