I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 352: Bei Yuan called?Lao Zhu wants to lead the new army to conquer in person?

But just when Zhu Yunxuan was thinking this.

A piece of bad news suddenly came over. Ming Dynasty's biggest enemy, Bei Yuan, was about to make a move!

It seems that 60 troops have been mobilized and are about to go south!
He intends to avenge the Ming Dynasty for last year, tear up last year's peace treaty, and start a new war between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty!
As soon as this news came out, the court was shocked.

Lan Yu seized this opportunity and kept begging Zhu Yunxi to let him lead the new army on the expedition, which made Zhu Yunxian tireless.

Even during this period, there was movement on Yangshan Mountain... Lao Zhu also faintly revealed the idea of ​​​​wanting to conquer in person!

Just let Zhu Yunzhen have one head and two heads!
You said it’s okay for generals like Lan Yu to want to go to the Northern Expedition. Why did you, Lao Zhu, come over to join in the fun?
But it’s not just Lao Zhu...

The palace, the imperial study.

Zhu Di came directly to the door and said all his good things: "Good nephew, you must let me lead the troops to fight Bei Yuan this time!"

He rambled and said, "Look, among all the feudal lords, am I the only one who has not caused you any trouble during this period?"

"Really, I don't ask for more. Give me the new army, and I promise to go directly to the royal court of Beiyuan!"

"It's not impossible to seal the wolf as Xu!"

Anyway, the meaning behind the words is to let him lead the new army to the Northern Expedition!
Zhu Di is not stupid. He knows that the new army's combat effectiveness is the strongest now. Compared with his previous army, he is certainly more likely to lead the new army to achieve success.

Of course Zhu Yunzhen knew that Zhu Di was the only emperor who sealed the wolf in Xu.

Of course, ability is not a guarantee.

But Zhu Yunzhen was also in a dilemma, because during this period, there were at least three people who were thinking about his new army!

Lao Zhu, Lan Yu, and even Fu Youde are all thinking about the new army!

Fu Youde even mentioned how he helped him find a way to dismantle the old army. In short, these people really tried their best, just for Zhu Yunzhen's family fortune!

Who doesn't know that the new army is powerful?In Annan's previous victory, I heard that Lan Yu didn't even use half of his strength!
Just defeat Annan's army to a pulp!
And Bei Yuan's army was like paper in front of guns and cannons, absolutely vulnerable!
The idea that cavalry restrained musketry has never been true.

In the future, after the Qi army wiped out the Japanese pirates, they switched their defense to the north and added many muskets to deal with the enemies in the north.

The effect was remarkable. The Qi army was not only invincible in the southeast.

It’s just as invincible in the north!
And Qi Jiguang's talents were also fully demonstrated. He could effectively defeat his opponents regardless of whether they were enemies from the north or the south!
Faced with Zhu Di's request.

Zhu Yunzhen shook his head helplessly.

Said: "Fourth uncle, this is really not something I can't bear to part with."

"The matter of starting a war with Beiyuan is not even finalized at all. Whether we need to send new troops there is still a question."

"I can't just give it to you directly."

Zhu Yunxuan first used the dragging technique.

Although the court was shaken by the war with Bei Yuan, there was no panic at all.

There was even a hint of joy.

Because Zhu Yunxuan had never advocated the Northern Expedition, Lan Yu and other generals could not find the opportunity for the Northern Expedition and had no battles to fight. It can be said that they were frustrated.

Now Beiyuan finally came to the door himself.

How could they not be happy?
Speaking of which, the reason why Beiyuan sent troops southward had a lot to do with Zhu Yunxu.

It was precisely because Zhu Yunxu laid off more than [-] old troops and the labor riots caused Zhu Yunxu to disappear. After the people in Beiyuan learned about this news, they felt that the Ming Dynasty was in chaos and might have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So he launched a large army and prepared to go south.

It's just that it's troublesome for nomads to gather large armies, and they often launch wars in winter, because they don't need nomadism at this time.

There are no aquatic plants for nomadic grazing.

Moreover, the winter was severely cold and the nomads were short of food and clothing, so they would naturally go south to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty.

This is the difference between nomadic civilization and agricultural civilization.

Because farming civilization often launches wars after spring plowing or autumn harvest, and fighting again cannot delay the food harvest!But now Beiyuan is sending troops, which happens to be stuck in the days when the autumn harvest is about to happen.

That’s exactly the time right now!
Many ministers in the DPRK and China are very worried, worried that this war will affect this year's autumn harvest.

However, there is no shortage of food in Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, not many people raised this question.

But the difference is that Zhu Yunxian is extremely concerned about this issue.

Because food is equivalent to labor force in Zhu Yunxu's eyes!

The more food there is, the more labor is available!The construction of Ming Dynasty is getting faster and faster!
As the saying goes, one step is fast and every step is fast.

The most important thing is to have the first-mover advantage. It will be extremely beneficial to Ming Dynasty to complete the construction of national highways and water conservancy projects early.

And this effect will only increase year by year.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan did not really want to affect the autumn harvest - after all, the Ming Dynasty's army was dominated by the garrison army.

The guards troops usually have to grow food!

Not a professional retired soldier!

On the contrary, the new army is a completely off-duty professional soldier who only needs to concentrate on training and fighting.

So it's no wonder that everyone is envious of Zhu Yunzhen's new army.

I want to lead the new army to fight Beiyuan.

It's a pity that Zhu Yunxuan must first leave this piece of fat to Lao Zhu. Let's see what his thoughts are. If Lao Zhu is really interested in the Northern Expedition, the new army will naturally be under Lao Zhu's command.

Let Lao Zhu also experience war in simple mode.

"Well..." Zhu Di was extremely anxious.

He really wanted to lead the new army northward, and sealing the wolf in Xu has always been Zhu Di's biggest ambition!

Zhu Di continued: "My nephew, as long as you hand over the new army to me for the Northern Expedition, I swear that I will not take your position as crown prince in this life, okay?"

"I also promise to support you for the rest of my life and be your die-hard subordinate, okay?"

Just thinking about the day when Feng Lang lived in Xu, Zhu Di felt like he was itching.

"Um, can it be said that Fourth Uncle, you are still thinking about my position as crown prince?" Zhu Yunxuan first joked.

If there is anyone who has the least desire to compete for the throne now, it is definitely Zhu Di.

Then he broke the news: "Oh, let me tell you the truth."

"This new army... may have to be left to Grandpa Huang. Maybe Grandpa Huang will also be interested in fighting Bei Yuan."

"I can't possibly let Grandpa Huang lead the old army to endure hardships, right?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he realized that Lao Zhu also had thoughts of the Northern Expedition?
The last inspection trip to the north was not enough. Now that there is a real war, you actually want to continue?
How can this work?
Zhu Di was anxious and said what was on his mind: "Dad is already old! Can you ride a horse? Why go on the Northern Expedition?"

"You still have to leave this matter to me!"

But right now.

Outside.

But suddenly there was a cough: "Cough! Cough!"

"Are we really too old to ride a horse?"

Zhu Di looked back and was so frightened that he felt like he was dead.

I don’t know when Lao Zhu came back!And he’s still wearing a military uniform!Looking at it like this, it seems that he is planning to compete with him for the position of commander-in-chief of the new army!
Zhu Di was anxious, this is not possible!Don't say I'm here, even if I'm the King of Heaven, I'm here.

No, no!
