At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Xuanzheng Hall suddenly became quiet because of Cheng De's words.

There was a brief moment of silence as the generals fell into deep thought.

When Cheng De saw this, he smiled slightly.

Everyone in the row of civil servants looked at the row of generals in surprise.

No one expected that the generals who just now were focused on fighting for a fight would now stop fighting.

This scene made the civil servants a little stunned.

But soon, they figured out that in order to become the main generals in the crusade against Beiyuan, these generals must be thinking of strategies to defeat Beiyuan, so as to convince His Majesty to adopt his strategy and make him the main general.

The civil servants headed by Li Shanchang were also thinking at this time, thinking about whether they could get a share of the crusade against Bei Yuan so that they could also make contributions.

As a result, the civil servants were all thinking, either lowering their heads and meditating, or closing their eyes and meditating, or reciting words...

Cheng De looked at the scene in Xuanzheng Hall in front of him, with a smile on his face.

In the Ming Dynasty, with this group of ministers, the country will surely be prosperous and prosperous.

Cheng De is very confident about Daming.

Seeing that all the ministers were thinking, the eight-year-old son Cheng Biao suddenly looked at Cheng De, and Cheng De also looked at Cheng Biao.

"Biao'er, do you have any questions?" Cheng De asked in a low voice.

Cheng Biaoxian looked at the civil and military ministers below and saw that their attention was not on his side, and then turned his attention to Cheng De.

"Father, why are those generals and uncles silent? Is it because it is too difficult to conquer Bei Yuan, or are they thinking about how to attack Bei Yuan?" Cheng Biao asked softly.

Cheng De smiled and asked, "What kind of Biao'er do you think it is?"

Cheng Biao thought carefully, and after a moment, he replied: "Father, Biao'er remembers that you said that these generals and uncles are all people who are proficient in the art of war and military affairs. Therefore, Biao'er thinks that for these uncles, it is definitely not the case. Because it is too difficult to conquer Bei Yuan, they are thinking about how to conquer Bei Yuan."

Cheng De's eyes showed relief, "Biao'er is right, they are all thinking about how to attack Bei Yuan."

Hearing Cheng De's answer, a smile appeared on Cheng Biao's face.

However, Li Sanqi below suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have just thought of a plan."

The smile on Cheng Biao's face disappeared, and he regained his calm and serious look. He looked straight, straightened his body, and sat as straight as a pine tree.

The other generals looked at Li Sanqi in surprise. As for the civil servants, they all looked surprised.

You actually thought of attacking Bei Yuan so quickly?

This is too fast!

Seeing this, Cheng De didn't say anything more, but looked at Li Sanqi, "What's the plan?"

Speak slowly and in a calm tone.

Li Sanqi said without any hesitation: "Tactics are subordinate to strategy, strategy is subordinate to politics, and politics is subordinate to economics. This is the principle."

"If our Ming Dynasty wants to conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty and march northward to the Central Plains, we must win the support of the people of the Northern Central Plains."

"Your Majesty can issue a proclamation for the Northern Expedition to the people of the north. The proclamation can state 'Expelling the Huru, restoring China, establishing a program of discipline, and relieving the people of Sri Lanka.' This was also the goal of your Majesty's initial uprising against the Yuan Dynasty. Now in the Northern Expedition, The start of the war can, firstly, show the people of the world that His Majesty has not forgotten his original intention and has always persisted in his determination to resist the Yuan Dynasty, and secondly, it can inspire the people of the north to rise up against the Yuan Dynasty."

"This is the strategy of the Northern Expedition, and it also belongs to politics. Once this issue is determined, then it is about economic competition. To put it more simply, it means competition in terms of money, food, weapons, etc."

"The general believes that, in terms of food, granaries across the Ming Dynasty are now full of food, which can be used by our Ming army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty for a long time, so that we can be in an invincible position."

"As for weapons, the seventh generation of the new Shengwu Cannon is now extremely powerful and highly accurate, and can shoot a range of three hundred feet. The new fire cannon has also reached its tenth generation, with a range of one hundred and fifty feet. The accuracy has improved to about 70%, close to 80%.”

"If the seventh generation of the new Shengwu cannon and the tenth generation of the new fire gun are brought to the Northern Expedition battlefield, we can kill the enemy to the greatest extent and reduce the casualties of our Ming army."

"In the eyes of the general, this is the so-called victory with strong weapons."

"The only drawback is that if these powerful weapons are brought into the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, it will cost too much money, but the general believes that if we can use these weapons to quickly wipe out Bei Yuan, end the war in the world, and unify the world, then the world will be The vitality can be restored earlier, and the population in the north will not suffer any loss. Instead, they will respect and obey the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, which will play an extremely important role in strengthening the Ming Dynasty's national power and stabilizing the people of the world. Therefore, the general will think that these It’s all worth it.”

"The final general's strategy is to directly and quickly pacify the north and eliminate the Northern Yuan Dynasty by relying on the superiority of weapons. In this way, all the people in the world can recover their strength sooner."    "Moreover, this move can also preserve the military power of the Ming Dynasty. To deal with other enemies."

After Li Sanqi finished speaking, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty fell into deep thought.

Especially among the generals, many people looked at Li Sanqi's back in surprise.

Cheng De took a deep look at Li Sanqi. He did not expect that Li Sanqi could speak so highly. He was very pleased with Li Sanqi's performance.

"Everyone, please tell me, what do you think of what the Marquis of Zhenguo said?" Cheng De glanced at the ministers and asked.

The crowd was silent and no one responded.

At this moment, Feng Guoyong stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that weapons are an important factor in war, but they are by no means the decisive factor. The decisive factor is that people are not things after all. The balance of power is not only the military power and The comparison between the economy, and also the comparison between manpower and people's hearts. Military power and economy, these are all things that people need to master."

"In the eyes of the general, the battlefield is not a blind killing, but a competition of wisdom."

"Even if there are new holy weapon cannons and new fire guns, they all need people to command them."

"If you use them wisely, you can consume less, which can also reduce the loss of some money."

"Of course, the general still agrees with the views of Zhen Guohou, but the general believes that these powerful weapons need to be commanded wisely. Firstly, unnecessary losses can be avoided. Secondly, using them wisely can accumulate experience in this area and facilitate Perfect the art of war for leading armies in wars after the Ming Dynasty."

"These are the general's opinions. I hope your Majesty will learn from them."

Cheng De nodded, "I think the words of Marquis Ying are good. Combining the words of Marquis Zhenguo and Marquis Ying, I believe all of you dear friends have an idea of ​​how to attack Beiyuan this time."

"I believe that if weapons are improved and technology advances, the form of military organization and the methods of military command will also change."

"I hope that all the leading generals will not cling to the same leading methods as before without changing with the times. Nowadays, the weapons of the Ming Dynasty are extremely powerful. Some of the leading methods of the leading generals must also match the powerful weapons."

"I hope that all the generals can learn something from the experience of this expedition against Beiyuanzhong and fight against Beiyuan, and then think more about it and verify it on future battlefields, so that they can compile a new set of tactics in the future. Textbooks are then taught in military academies.”

"I have decided to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty. I have appointed Marquis Li Sanqi of Zhenguo as the general to conquer the captives, and Marquis Feng Guoyong as the deputy general to lead the Northern Expedition with 500,000 troops."

"Deng Youde, Zhang Jiusi, Wei Xiao, Yang Wei, Xu Da, Zhou Dexing, Geng Zaicheng, Hua Yun, Zhang Jiuyi, Liu Chongwu, Liu Ren, Xu Yingjie, Cheng Ying, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and others were accepted by the Marquis of Zhenguo Commander."

"Luo Mao, Liu Bowen, He Wenhui, Ye Dui, Feng Zhang, Gong Bosui, the six of you, with Luo Mao as the chief military advisor, the rest will be controlled by him and go out with the army."

Li Sanqi, Feng Guoyong and others bowed and saluted: "The last general (minor minister) obeys the order."

"In half a month, the army will be dispatched."

"Starting from tomorrow, I will issue a message to the world to attack Bei Yuan."

"All ministries of the Ming Dynasty must cooperate with this army dispatch. I hope that all ministers and ministers can do their best and work hard for the Ming Dynasty to unify the world. I have something to say first. After the Ming Dynasty unifies the world, I will follow the actions of all ministers and ministers during the Ming Dynasty's crusade against the Northern Yuan Dynasty. be rewarded for their contribution.”

"This reward is absolutely unprecedented."

"The titles of hereditary duke, non-hereditary duke, hereditary marquis, non-hereditary marquis, earl, etc. will be awarded to the world after the Ming Dynasty unifies the world. I hope you will know."

After Cheng De finished speaking, all the civil and military ministers in the palace said one after another: "I obey the order."

Cheng De glanced at Cheng Zhong, Cheng Zhong understood the idea and said: "Retreat from the court——"

The palace was full of civil and military ministers, except for Lu Fufu, Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Ting, and Zhang Qijiu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, who all left.

Cheng De glanced at the five people, and then said calmly: "Next, what I said, I hope that you will not say it to others. If I find out that the secret is leaked, I will never be lenient."

Lu needless to say, and the others were all frightened. They all held their breath and looked up at Cheng De.

Cheng De then said: "The new and world-famous Northeastern King in the north is actually He Sanwu, the left governor of the Ming Dynasty's military governor's mansion."

As soon as Cheng De finished speaking, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Lu Fufu and Yao Guangxiao quickly regained their composure after being shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Ting were deeply troubled for a long time. (End of chapter)
