Lingbei?

The emperor wants to attack Lingbei?

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and then became ecstatic!

What a happy event!

If the emperor really wants to conquer Lingbei, then this will be a great military achievement!

For military attaches such as Liu Sheng and Chen Mao, the most important thing is military merit!

Because military merit represents titles and rewards, and represents everything about a military attaché!

But there are only a few people in Wala, including the old, weak, women and children, only 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry, which is not enough for generals like them.

But now that the emperor wants to conquer Mongolia's Lingbei Province, it's completely different!

The Lingbei Province is vast, and its administrative seat and forests were the former imperial capital of the Great Mongolia.

With such a historical origin, there are many Mongolian tribes nomadic in Lingbei Province. They are all nostalgic elements who miss the glory of the Great Mongolia.

These Mongolian tribes all have military achievements and titles!

Thinking of this, the generals' eyes instantly turned red, and they howled to support His Majesty in conquering the Lingbei Province.

However, when Hu Guang, Jin Youzi and other civil servants heard this, they were instantly stunned.

After destroying Wala, we still want to attack Lingbei? !

Hit a big watermelon!

Without much thought, Hu Guang immediately and subconsciously stepped out of the queue and objected loudly: Your Majesty, you must not!

When Zhu Di heard this, he felt a little unhappy, but he was Emperor Yongle after all, so he did not show it, but smiled and motioned for Hu Guang to continue.

Your Majesty, compared to China, Lingbei is an out-and-out enclave. Not only is it far away from the defense line of the Great Wall, it is also surrounded by wolves. My Ming Dynasty's expedition to Lingbei is simply not worth the gain!

Let's not mention the manpower and material resources needed to conquer Lingbei Province for the moment. Even after Lingbei was defeated, the imperial court sent a large number of troops to garrison here, which consumed countless manpower and material resources, but there was no benefit from Lingbei at all!

In order to develop their 'Longxing Ancestral Land', the Mongolian court established provinces and stationed troops. At the same time, it frequently mobilized human and financial resources from the mainland and took many measures to support the economy of the pastoral areas. These measures mainly included continuously dispatching people of all ethnic groups in the mainland to provide Cattle seeds were brought into pastoral areas, wells and canals were dug, and farming was vigorously established in places such as Helin, Chenghai, Qianzhou, Jilijisi, Wutiaohe, Hanghai, and the north of Jinshan Mountain. But what about the benefits? Very little, almost none!

Lingbei is a vast area with sparsely populated areas, and the land is barren and overgrown with weeds. The food harvested from farming is not enough for the Lingbei garrison. It even needs supplies from the Mongolian court every year. Countless manpower and material resources are invested every autumn to feed the garrison here. The people simply lose more than they gain!

Although Lingbei Province is important, the Ming Dynasty does not need this enclave at all, let alone spend countless manpower and material resources to forcibly recover this place...

Hu Guang relied on the historical lessons of the Mongolian court and was talking eloquently, citing scriptures, without noticing Zhu Di's increasingly darker complexion.

He didn't notice, but Xue Lu did, and angrily shouted: Hu Guang, you are a scholar and have no experience in military affairs. You know nothing!

General Xue, you warriors just want to seize military glory. How can you ignore the interests of your family and country?

Idiot, what are you calling for? Do you believe I will beat you up?!

In an instant, Liu Sheng, Chen Mao and others joined the battlefield and stared fiercely at the literati.

If you don't let me fight, you will take away my military glory. This is a life-or-death feud!

Besides, this is a large marching tent, the world of warriors, what are you literati talking about?

Seeing Wen and Wu start to exchange insults, Zhu Di's old face suddenly turned darker.

At this moment, Jin Youzi sighed and said: Your Majesty, even if we want to conquer Lingbei, we must consider the long term.

Although our Northern Expeditionary Army is said to number 500,000 people, the actual number of soldiers is only 100,000. The rest are auxiliary militiamen responsible for transporting food, grass and baggage.

One hundred thousand soldiers just want to destroy Oala, sweep across Mobei, and recapture Lingbei. This is too childish!

Once we go deep into the grassland and the supplies of food, grass and baggage are no longer available, who can guarantee the emperor's safety?

After hearing his words, everyone fell silent.

Jin Youzi was very smart and did not directly go against Zhu Di's wishes like Hu Guang did, clamoring that Lingbei should not be attacked.

He went in the opposite direction, thinking along the lines of Da Lingbei, and then raised difficult questions one after another, especially the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.

You are His Majesty the Ming Emperor, not some cat or dog!

If it were another general who could fight whenever he wanted, even if he was defeated and died in Lingbei, it would not matter!

But you are different, you are the Ming Emperor!

If something happens to you, who can take the responsibility?

Now, every one of these people here are reunited with their families and going out to apologize to Emperor Taizu Gao!

When Xue Lu and other generals heard what he said, their excitement disappeared instantly, replaced by fear and uneasiness.

To attack Lingbei, we have to go deep into the grassland. As a result, the battle will last for several years and will not end in a short time!

But what does it sound like to leave His Majesty the Emperor hanging alone and fighting for several years?

Thinking about it, everyone fell silent, waiting for the emperor's decision.

Zhu Di glanced at the civil servants and generals, and then smiled and said: Don't worry about the food and baggage, batch after batch are on their way.

The King of Han has ordered Zhou Chen, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to rush to Peiping to organize businessmen to prepare to accept the Mongolian people and start the sheep herding plan!

What we need to do is to clear out the entire Mobei and force these tribal people to be sent to the vicinity of the Great Wall. Zhou Chen will then take over and resettle them.

Finally, the Lingbei Administration Office and Lin are captured, and this combat mission will be completed...

Everyone: ???

What?

Combat mission?

Who dares to arrange combat missions for His Majesty the Emperor?

No way, no way, Lord Han, you won’t be so brave, right?

On the north bank of Yinma River.

A rich pasture.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe were huddled on a small slope, chatting incessantly.

Cousin, this errand is difficult to handle. There are more and more scouts from the Walas.

Who says otherwise? If we encounter one and kill one, you and I will definitely die.

After all, the Wala Station was right in front of them, and the two proud brothers did not dare to pluck the hair from the tiger's butt.

In the early years, the Oara people were called Western Mongolia. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Many nobles were tied to the Mongolian tribe and had been intermarried with the golden family for generations. prominent.

This resulted in the Wara Army having the same fighting style as the Mongolian army, and the same scouting staff. Within a hundred miles of the Khan's residence, there were densely packed scouts and rangers, ensuring the safety of the Khan's court anytime and anywhere.

Cousin, why don't you withdraw? Wala is so well-defended that we can't penetrate!

Zhu Zhanhe spoke helplessly. Although he was brave, it didn't mean he was brainless.

Zhu Zhanji smiled slightly when he heard this and said calmly: Don't worry, I have prepared a secret weapon.

Secret weapon?

Zhu Zhanhe was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly: What secret weapon? Take it out quickly!

Look at your worthless look. This thing is worth thousands of gold. It is the most beloved treasure of Grandpa Huang. For borrowing it, I was scolded by the old man a lot...

After saying this, Zhu Zhanhe became even more interested.

What kind of priceless treasure is worthy of the old man’s love?

Zhu Zhanji looked around and after confirming that there was no danger, he took something out of his arms and even wrapped it in a brocade handkerchief.

This treasure is called the Thousand Mile Mirror. It is the only one in the world. It was presented to His Majesty the Emperor by my second uncle...

Zhu Zhanhe: ???

What?

Telescope?

Isn't this a telescope?

I still have a lot of this stuff at home?

Why is there only one like this in the whole world...

Zhu Zhanhe immediately covered his mouth with a look of shock on his face.

Oh my god!

My biological father, you are such a filial son!

Zhu Zhanji looked at his shocked expression and suddenly felt relieved.

Cousin, cousin, I just like your worthless look...
