Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 302 Chapter 302: Western missions come to seek peace? Let's go to Honglu Temple to practice Tai Chi!
For Lan Yu and the others, looting after attacking a city is a basic operation. They did this kind of thing a lot when they fought against Beiyuan!

Even Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are like this, especially Chang Yuchun, who is even more ruthless. He is the one who directly massacres the city!

Zheng Heping's behavior is relatively mild on weekdays. Even on the battlefields of the Battle of Japan and the Battle of Nanyang, he did not do anything too outrageous, so Lan Yu had doubts in his heart.

Now after hearing Zheng He's statement, Lan Yu's worries were immediately relieved.

"If you say that, we'll know for sure!"

"Don't worry, we won't make it difficult for you. Just leave the rough work to us rough guys!"

Lan Yu laughed and said.

Zheng He:"……"

Why are you afraid that I will join in and take away what you can grab?

Zheng He is too lazy to be happy and argue with Lan Yu. This guy is now the chief officer of the Royal Guard Academy. In addition, with Zhu Li's important position, his status has long been different from what it used to be!

There is no practical meaning in arguing with Lan Yu about these issues.

"By the way, Duke Liang, His Majesty said that matters at sea are up to me, and matters on land are your decision. I would like to ask, what are you going to do after landing ashore?"

Zheng He suddenly asked seriously.

"You are really in a hurry. To get to the Persian Gulf, no matter how fast we sail, it will take more than a month and a half. It would be great if we can get there within two months!"

"Your Majesty asked us to be in position within three months. You started asking about things on land just two days after setting off. Are you a little too anxious?"

Lan Yu laughed immediately after hearing this.

"Isn't this boring? After all, being idle is nothing but idleness!"

"Let's discuss more about the specific marching arrangements now. Once we get ashore, we will be confident and everyone will have a clear mind!"

Zheng He reminded him seriously.

"Well, since you asked, we can discuss it together!"

"Bring me the map!"

Lan Yu nodded, without any nonsense, and directly called the people below to bring over a map!

This map mainly shows the general terrain and orientation of the Persian Gulf and Red Sea areas. In the center is Damascus, their primary destination this time!
"Look, if you want to go to Damascus by sea, there are two closest routes!"

"One goes directly to the Persian Gulf, and the other goes directly to the Red Sea!"

"However, if these two routes go too deep, our fleet will go deep into the enemy's siege, which will be disadvantageous for us!"

"So we thought we would not enter the Persian Gulf or the Red Sea, but land directly from this place called Yemen, and then go north and fight all the way to Damascus by land!"

Lan Yu was on the map, gesturing to all the Huaixi nobles and Zheng He, and expressed his existing thoughts.

Zheng He looked at the location marked by the blue jade on the map and his understanding of the two landing sites in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, and nodded.

If you want to reach Damascus as quickly as possible, going directly into the Red Sea or the Persian Gulf is definitely the fastest option.

But the risk to the Ming Dynasty fleet is also the greatest!

Although the Ming Dynasty fleet is very powerful, if it is surrounded by all sides, it will inevitably suffer a lot of losses!
"You are right, and you have considered it very comprehensively. Our fleet is indeed not suitable for going deep into the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. In the early stage, it can only operate in the open sea!"

"As long as they are not surrounded, the Ming fleet will be invincible on the sea!"

Zheng He nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with Lan Yu's point of view.

It has to be said that although Lan Yu has a somewhat reckless personality and seems to be a rough guy, in fact he is rough but has subtleties. Especially in the military field, his experience and on-the-spot command ability are also undoubted!
"According to the intelligence analysis obtained by Honglu Temple, after landing from here, we will actually not encounter much resistance, because this large area is actually desert, and the situation is not much different from Mobei. The land is vast and the people are dilute!"

"What we need to do is think about how to get through this area and reach Damascus in the shortest time. After all, we don't have many horses. The total number of horses carried on the ship is only about 10,000!"

Lan Yu pointed at the area where Saudi Arabia was and reminded everyone.

Indeed, even during the Chengwu period, this area was a desert and there was not much population.

It is obviously difficult to cross this area on foot, and it is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. However, the number of horses is very limited, which is equivalent to only 10,000 cavalry!

"Do you have any ideas?"

Zheng He looked at Lan Yu talking and knew that this assassin must have thought of some idea to cross this area.

"Our idea is to use 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard to first capture the coastline area on the Red Sea or Persian Gulf side. The remaining army can follow the fleet in depth!"

Lan Yu pointed to the coastlines on both sides of the peninsula. If one side could be controlled, there would be no need to worry that the Ming fleet would be surrounded by enemies after it penetrated into these two sea areas!

"That's a good idea!"

"I personally have no objections and support your decision!"

Zheng He also nodded with deep understanding.

If there are ground troops to cooperate, then the fleet will not have so many worries if it goes deep into these two sea areas!
And it can also cooperate with the cavalry on the ground. After all, these cannons on the fleet are not just decorations!

"Since you have no objection, then this matter is settled for now!"

"We have to wait until we get to the place to see what the specific situation is!"

Lan Yu immediately waved her hand and put the map away again.

"You just said before that we still have two or three months to reach the Persian Gulf, but you have already planned your next actions as soon as you set off?"

Zheng He asked Lan Yu in surprise.

"In the past few years at Imperial Guard Academy, we have mostly talked about tactics on paper. Tactical exercises like this are commonplace!"

"When it comes to the battlefield, that's another matter. After all, plans can't keep up with changes, right?"

Lan Yu reminded him seriously.

"Well, this makes sense. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. No matter how good the plan is, it must be adjusted on the spot!"

Zheng He nodded with deep understanding and said.

"Zheng He, this may also be the last time we fight for the Ming Dynasty, right?"

At this moment, Lan Yu suddenly took out the wine bottle he carried with him, raised his head and took a sip, and then asked.

"Yes, we are all old!"

"I can't stand it anymore!"

Hearing this, Zheng He couldn't help but nodded and smiled bitterly. "But we are not willing to give in. We feel that even if we are sixty or seventy, we can still carry a gun and mount a horse!"

"I really don't want to let us lie down comfortably at home after this battle!"

Lan Yu said with emotion.

"Actually, you can also look at this problem from another angle!"

"We are old, but the younger generation has also grown up. You are now in the Royal Guard Academy and helping the Ming Dynasty teach more young generals who can win the war. This is also where your value lies!"

"Sometimes you don't have to be on the battlefield to show your value!"

Zheng He could feel Lan Yu's honest and old mentality, so he could only try to comfort him.

"Those brats, before they have been baptized on the real battlefield, want to replace us, but that's too early!"

When Lan Yu heard this, she curled her lips in disapproval.

Even though he admitted in his heart that Zheng He was right, he was still unconvinced!
In his opinion, the most capable person in the entire Ming Dynasty, apart from Zhu Li and his few evil sons who defied the will of heaven, was Lan Yu!
He has his own pride, Duke Liang!
"That's right, even if you want to become a master, you, the master, have to nod your head!"

Zheng He immediately laughed.

He knew that Lan Yu agreed with what he said, but he was just being tough!

This old boy, no matter what time, what he cares about most is his own face!

……

Just after Lan Yu and Zheng He set off, the Western envoys rushed to Daming again, and they were almost anxious!
If the Wind King Zhu Xifeng leads his army of bandits to Damascus, then the entire Western matrix will be mobilized!

The key is that even if all the common people are mobilized, they may not be able to stop these tigers and wolves!

Two months later, just as Lan Yu and Zheng He's fleet were about to arrive outside the Persian Gulf, the Western mission finally arrived at Shuntian Mansion without stopping.

But this time when he came to Shuntian Mansion, the envoy of the Ottoman Empire no longer had the arrogant attitude he had last time. Instead, he looked groveling and cautious!
But even so, the requests of these envoys to see the Ming Emperor were simply rejected by Honglu Temple!
In the palace.

Zhu Yue is not in seclusion, but he is also discussing with Cao and Li about Zhu Xiye's marriage!
Zhu Xiaye's situation is too special. Finding a wife for him must not be careless, but Zhu Yue is really having a headache in this aspect, so he can only let Cao and Li worry about it!
There is no way, who made one of them the aunt and the other the biological mother?
You must be thinking about your own son’s affairs!

"Father!"

Just when the three of them were discussing which girl would be more suitable for Zhu Xiaye to be the princess, Zhu Xiaqiu, the prince of the supervising country, came again!
"What happened again?"

Zhu Li knew that if the prince hadn't encountered something that he couldn't control, he would definitely not come to him!
"Isn't it that the mission from the Ottoman Empire is here again?"

"It's been seven days, and I've been clamoring to see you every day!"

Zhu Xiaqiu explained helplessly.

"Don't come to me about this matter, just let the officials from Honglu Temple send them away!"

"Also, don't pay any attention to them. The war has already begun, so why bother giving them a good look?"

"You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, don't get entangled in such trivial matters!"

When Zhu Yue heard this, she waved her hand disapprovingly.

Are you afraid now?

It's too late.

Since the Ming Dynasty's army has already set out to fight, how can it be justified to stop if it doesn't produce a result?
What's more, Zhu Yue never thought about the possibility of peace talks in this matter!
The entire Middle East must be occupied by Ming Dynasty in the future. This is related to whether Ming Dynasty can maintain its dominance in the future, and Zhu Li will not have any possibility of compromise!
"Okay, then I will let the officials from Honglu Temple do Tai Chi with the people from these missions."

"They are familiar with this matter anyway!"

Zhu Xiaqiu knew that Zhu Yue must have such an attitude, so he could only nodded with a wry smile.

"By the way, it just so happens that you, the elder brother, are here. Can you also help give me some advice on which girl from the family your fourth brother will marry as his concubine?"

At this time, Zhu Yue simply took Zhu Xiaqiu with him and began to consult on Zhu Xiaye's marriage.

Zhu Xiaqiu suddenly looked confused.

They are worrying about Zhu Xiaye's marriage here, so why is Zhu Xiaye not here?

"Where are the four old people?"

"In this matter, Erchen thinks it should still depend on whether the fourth child can see the right eye. Whether he likes it or not is the most important thing, right?"

Zhu Xiaqiu is really kind to Zhu Xiaye. He Zhu Xiaqiu only likes Yang. His relationship is called single-mindedness, and he knows what it feels like to like someone.

Therefore, he felt that the fourth child, Zhu Xiaye, was the same type of person as him, and given his special situation, it was not suitable for him to marry so many wives without restraint like the eldest brother and the third child!

"How did I realize that asking you to give me your opinion was a wrong decision?"

"Your boy is also famous for his stubborn temper in this regard. If I really ask you to come up with an idea, don't lead the fourth child astray!"

"You'd better go about your business!"

When Zhu Yue heard this, he immediately remembered this boy's emotional attitude. It was a waste of time to ask him!

What is the most important thing to like?

As for Zhu Xiaye, who can he take the initiative to like?
If he could really have the girl he likes, then they wouldn't have to have a headache here today!

Zhu Xiaqiu: "..."

"I think we should hold a flower-viewing party in the harem in a few days. At that time, all families will send their girls to be married to the palace, and let Ye'er take a look for herself. Is there anyone she can like? "

At this time, Mrs. Cao hurriedly helped Zhu Xiaqiu to rescue him.

"Isn't this tantamount to a beauty pageant for this kid?"

"This fourth child is so proud!"

"But the method you said is okay. I, a big man, will not join in. You two can discuss it!"

Zhu Yue immediately became happy when he heard this, and then he felt at ease and became the shopkeeper!

Mr. Cao: "..."

Li: "..."

The two women rolled their eyes, but in the end they didn't say anything more.

ps: Brothers, can you humbly ask for a few free recommendation votes? I beg you on your knees!
