Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

After arranging the bank matters, Li Wei went to Shenji Camp.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not give him much time to prepare. The various guards in the capital had already begun to mobilize troops and horses, so he had to hurry up.

When he arrived at the big tent of Shenji Camp, Li Wei ordered people to summon all the soldiers and announced to them the edict to conquer Yunnan.

After everyone heard this, they were all pleasantly surprised.

"Great, we have been idle for a year, and finally we have another fight!"

Sun Lei shouted, since he asked to be transferred to the artillery guard directly under Li Wei, he has been looking forward to taking these cannons to the battlefield to show off his power.

Although the others were not as arrogant as him, they all excitedly asked for help.

After the last battle, they all were promoted to two or three levels after coming back, and there were also many other rewards. If they come back this time, they will definitely receive rewards!

Li Wei raised his hand and pressed it, and said calmly: "Now we have [-] people in the Shenying camp. There is no need to mobilize all of them. I have already asked your Majesty for permission. This time we will mobilize [-] people to join the army and go out, and the others will stay and continue training." !”

"Admiral, I must follow you. Our new artillery must be taken out for practice, otherwise it will become rusty in the camp!"

Sun Lei said roughly.

Li Wei rolled his eyes at him and was speechless. How long had this artillery been in service? Why was it rusty? Moreover, we train every day in the camp, and we don’t just let it go.

"Okay, needless to say, the artillery must follow, but we can't pull them all out. In this way, there will be thirty divine cannons, one hundred divine machine cannons, and the rest will be left to continue training."

Li Wei said impatiently.

After hearing this, Sun Lei felt a little regretful that he could not bring all the artillery, but he finally brought more than half of it, which should be enough for him.

After Li Wei finished speaking to him, he glanced at Song Zhong, Jiang Long and others. Several people raised their chests and raised their heads, saying that I can do it!
  "Sir, why don't we discuss the battle plan first and then make a decision?"

Jiang Long reminded him loudly.

Everyone looked at each other and understood what he meant. What he said was discussion, but in fact it was just a competition among everyone.

"That's fine." Li Wei nodded lightly, then ordered someone to fetch the map, unfolded it, hung it, and took everyone to look at it.

Li Wei followed Zhu Yuanzhang's example and recounted the deployment of this battle:

"If you want to capture Yunnan, go to Qujing first. Qujing is the chokepoint of Yunnan. As long as you can capture this place, it will be much easier to pacify Yunnan!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty! If our army follows the river and goes straight to Qujing, we will surely be able to decide the outcome in a single battle!"

Seeing Li Wei pause for a moment, Song Zhong quickly spoke first.

Li Wei was stunned. Song Zhong's statement was similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts at the time.

So he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's what I thought!"

After speaking, he continued to look at Song Zhong, waiting for him to continue.

However, Song Zhong didn't react for a moment and was stunned for a moment before giving Jiang Long a chance.

"Qujing is the eastern gateway of Yunnan. It is adjacent to the Baishi River in the north and is its natural barrier. Therefore, if you want to capture Yunnan, you must first go to Qujing. After capturing Qujing, our army can go straight to Yunnan."

Jiang Long analyzed calmly.

Li Wei listened and memorized, and finally had some sense of pictures in his mind. "Well, I think so too!" Li Wei nodded and then took out Lao Zhu's deployment and said: "In addition, I also suggested to Your Majesty that you send a group of soldiers to march from Yongning to Wu... Wu what? Coming?"

"Sir, is it Usa?" Song Zhong cautiously asked.

"Yes, that's Uzzah!"

"My lord, this is a very clever plan. By keeping the local army at Usa, our army can attack Qujing with peace of mind!"

Song Zhong immediately said loudly, flattering first and then explaining. Li Wei nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Excellency is far-sighted and uses troops like a god..."

Du Yuan did not rush to speak, and could only praise Barabala behind him.

Li Wei also nodded to show dignity, but then his tone changed and he said: "Mr. Du will stay here to look after the house."

"what?"

Du Yuan was stunned for a moment. He felt that he was pretty good at flattering him!

Li Wei glanced at him lightly, "Flattery is good, but you have to be really capable!"
  After eliminating the Du members, Li Wei copied the arrangements of Zhu Yuanzhang that he could remember and told them again, pausing after a few sentences.

All the officers and soldiers were also very cooperative. They came up to praise the Lord for his wisdom, and then explained to him the reason for this arrangement.

Amidst the praise from everyone, Li Wei also suddenly realized that he understood Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement. How should I put it, he felt that the gap between him and Zhu Yuanzhang was just a geography class!

In ancient times, the most important thing in using troops was to make use of various dangerous terrains. A river or a mountain could stop hundreds of thousands of troops, and even defeat a large number with a small number.

Unlike later wars, where aircraft, tanks, and satellite missiles were deployed, the impact of terrain on the war has been greatly reduced!
  After Li Wei went through an "examination" of these soldiers, he finally chose Song Zhong and Zuo Wei.

In fact, both Song Zhong and Jiang Long have good abilities, but Song Zhong is closer to him (knows how to flatter horses), and Jiang Long has always been responsible for the training of Shenji Camp, so he feels more relieved to keep Li Wei.

As for Zuo Wei, the guards he leads are still mainly cavalry, with more than [-] cavalry. The role of cavalry is still very important now, and they are highly mobile and must be brought along.

After the people were selected, Zuo Wei, Song Zhong, Sun Lei and others began to make hurried preparations.

A month later, [-] troops boarded ships from Longjiang Port and set off for the expedition. Zhu Yuanzhang personally bid them farewell.

Fu Youde led the soldiers to bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang especially glanced at Li Wei, who had a unique painting style in the crowd.

Fu Youde understood and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will ensure that it is foolproof!"

At this time, he was no longer as indifferent as when he was discussing the matter, because Zhu Yuanzhang had already promised him that if he fought well this time, he would be granted the title of official when he came back!

Nowadays, in the Ming Dynasty, apart from the six Dukes who were granted the title at the founding of the country, only Tang He was granted the title of Duke in the eleventh year of Hongwu, and he is about to become the next one.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also hung a drag bottle on him when he promised him, but Fu Youde didn't care much about this. He was full of confidence in this battle, and it didn't matter even if Li Wei was allowed to play soy sauce throughout the whole process.

After the generals bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang, they began to board the ship one after another. Li Wei and his Shenji Battalion also followed to carry the baggage to the ship, especially big things like artillery. It was not enough to rely on the artillery guards alone. They also recruited A group of laborers were hired to help.

It took the army three or four days just to carry the baggage, and then the soldiers were able to board the ship and set off.

More than [-] warships formed a giant dragon that was several miles long. They set off from Yingtian in a mighty manner, sailed up the river, and marched towards Yunnan! (End of chapter)
