"Your Majesty, Shuntian is located in the north, located on the border, Yuan is eyeing my Great Zhou, at any time there is a desire to attack the south, two-thirds of the elite forces of my Great Zhou, fully around the north to carry out defense, although there are soldiers with their lives to form my Great Zhou safety flesh and blood Great Wall, but it is missing a backbone. Since the emperor intends to move the capital north. Then why don't you find a reason to boost morale and let Da Zhou know about my emperor Shengming. ”

"I said don't drag words here, believe it or not, is it because your mother died, you have a barrier against me, can you be happy." Wu Di said in one sentence that Gongsun Jian was wrong during this time.

Although it was a little embarrassed, Gongsun Qian still nodded. He was a little scared. After all, the person who can suppress Wu Di is no longer there, and he doesn't really pay attention to other people at all.

"You boldly say, even if I kill the third child, I won't kill you."

"Dad, I'm your own. I ......" Wu Gaosui secretly complained on the side. Wu Di's face sank; "You're the least capable, I want to kill you now." After he finished speaking, he looked at Gongsun Jian: "Tell me your reason." ”

The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the monarch and the minister die.

If anyone dares to oppose this, then the brocade guards can be arrested for espionage and treason, and executed on the spot.

I don't want to think about it, what is the place in the north, that is the most dangerous place, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the biggest threat is from the north, but who dares to move the capital to such a close place from the border. No, not a single one.

But Da Zhou did this, Wu Di did this, this is to tell Da Zhou, with me, Da Zhou Sheji is here, the Great Zhou Emperor is on the border, and the people of Da Zhou can sit back and relax.

Yao Guangxiao immediately understood the intention of this, and he immediately stepped forward to look at Wu Di; "Your Majesty, if this is the case, no one in the Manchu Dynasty will dare to have any objection to the relocation of the capital."

Wu Di's eyes lit up and he looked at Wu Gaochi.

If Wu Gaochi didn't understand, this prince could be regarded as a vain, and he immediately gave it up and hurriedly said; "Dad, I'll arrange it."

How to announce the reason for moving the capital to the people of the imperial court, Gongsun Jian can't see it, and today he came here to say goodbye to Wu Di.

Therefore, the next day, the pilgrimage meeting had not yet begun, and the sun had just begun to show its head. Gongsun Jian had already led the Shenji Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, as well as Zhang Fu, Wu Neng, Wu Gaoxu, Wu Zhanji and others to the south.

Annan.

Since the usurpation of power. As the emperor, Hu Jichen has been in the palace for several years, and everything is governed by his grandson Hu Hancang.

When he heard that his grandson had attacked the Great Zhou army, he sensed that something was wrong. In the past, although his grandson stole chickens and dogs from Da Zhou, he had not yet reached the point of daring to attack the opponent's main army, but this time, he actually attacked the Guangxi army of Da Zhou, which was clearly issuing a war letter to Da Zhou.

"What are you doing, what is it that gave you the courage to sneak attack the Ming army, is it me, or your father, do you really think that with our strength, we can confront the Ming army, and you don't want to think about it, how powerful the Yuan Dynasty was back then, and let them drive out of the fortress, what are we."

Hu Jichen did not politely count his grandson.

Hu Hancang really felt wronged, he did not order an attack on the Ming army, but just wanted to kill Chen Taiping, the grandson of Huang Taisun of the previous dynasty, but at that time, the Ming army was also there, and he had no choice at all.

After the incident, he immediately issued an order to give preferential treatment to the Ming army, but the troops under the right general Ruan Dacheng slaughtered the Ming army, and by the time the messenger arrived, those Ming troops had already died.

"Grandpa, I don't want to, I ......"

Hey, Hu Jichen sighed, it is useless to say these things now, he can only send a messenger immediately, hoping that before the Great Zhou Emperor decides to send troops, he will quickly admit his mistake, otherwise this dynasty that he has built up with great difficulty may ......

As soon as he heard that the Ming army had raised 200,000 troops, Hu Jichen almost fainted on the ground, he really didn't know how he should deal with it.

Hu Hancang has some backbone; "Grandpa, what are you afraid of, isn't it 200,000, why should we be afraid, we are not vegetarians."

"Fart, who do you think you are, able to fight against the Ming army." Hu Jichen couldn't wait to slap his grandson, did he think that with the more than 20,000 elephant army alone, or the sailors who had just been formed, they could block their attack.

The smell of milk has not dried, and I dare to speak out. He regretted it, he shouldn't have passed the position to himself as a foolish bastard.

No matter how much he complains, this big battle is inevitable.

When Chen Xuan, the commander of the Guangxi capital, learned that the general had arrived, he immediately gave up his command to the yamen, let Gongsun Jian move in, and then arranged for the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion to arrive here from Yingtianfu after proper arrangements, and then went to the tent to listen to the order.

Seeing Chen Xuan's expression like this, Gongsun Jian snapped his fingers very calmly and asked with a smile; "Do you know what we need most to march into Annam?"

In the past few years, he has been fighting with the Annan army, Chen Xuan naturally understands one or two, and he saw that several princes and the king of Han were waiting for his response. It is also a hand-off; "General, if our army wants to fight against the Annan army, the most difficult thing is for their elephant army."

Elephant Army?

Obviously, Zhang Fu, Wu Gaoxu, and Wu Neng did not understand such a force.

"Master, what is this elephant army?" It seems that Wu Di threw Wu Zhanji to Gongsun Jian like this, and let him follow him wherever he went.

I saw that a few people didn't understand this class. Gongsun Niu got up and laughed; "It's similar to our cavalry here, but this mount is different, ours is a war horse, and theirs is just an elephant."

"My mother, what are you going to fight, that rough-skinned and thick-skinned thing, the bow and arrow can't shoot into it at all, and our infantry can't attack it at all. How can this be fought? Wu Gaoxu was the first to shout.

He went to sea with Gongsun Jian for three years, what the hell is this elephant? He'd seen it anyway.

Zhang Fu didn't see it, he asked modestly; "King Han, is this thing big?"

How can this be compared to himself, Wu Gaoxu blinked his eyes and thought for a while; "Let's put it this way, the knife and spear may not be able to stab it, and the foot will be raised and stepped down, if he is stepped on. Then you have no bones left, and you will be left with a pile of minced meat. ”

It's really so powerful, Zhang Fu looked at Gongsun Jian with some disbelief, he still believed that Gongsun was a little in vain.

Gongsun Jian can be regarded as agreeing with Wu Gaoxu's statement; "Yes. But that doesn't mean they can't handle it, for it's rough and thick, but it's not that flexible, and they have a big flaw, which is fatal, and I don't think they know it. So don't be afraid, this elephant may be very powerful for them, but in my eyes it's just a piece of. ”

With this, Zhang Fu and the others were relieved a lot. They all believed in Gongsun Jian.

If he says a way, then there must be a way.

And since this elephant soldier is not the greatest threat, then what will be the greatest threat? Several people didn't understand, and in the end, it was Wu Zhanji who narrowed his eyes: "Master, Commander Chen understands the Annan Army, since he thinks it's the Elephant Army, but you think it's not, then what do you think is the biggest threat?" ”

Fighting in the south is not as good as in the north, and the north should pay attention to the problem of water sources and drinking water, but in the south, especially to enter Annam.

It is still a place with lofty mountains and overgrown weeds, and there are countless poisonous snakes and beasts in it. Most of them are highly toxic.

If you want to fight against the Annan army, you must pay attention to this.

First, second, humid weather, coupled with heat, is the most important concern for the army. If it is not handled well, the army may suffer from beriberi. At that time, there will not be many combat losses, and this illness will be able to drag people to death.

The soldiers of the Ming army wore long boots, which were indeed easy to walk. But at the same time, it is not breathable, which is good in the north, but in the south, it is not suitable.

All shoes and socks need to be replaced to allow them to achieve ventilation.

Obviously, everyone who was still present didn't understand what kind of shoes were the most suitable.

Wu Zhanji saw that no one asked after Gongsun stopped in vain, so he could only step forward; "Master, then how should we replace it?"

This question is actually not very difficult, Gongsun Jian thought about it for a while and took out the shoe sample from the drawer of his desk.

This is actually straw sandals, but the bottom is made of a wooden plank, so that even if you step on something, you will be fine, and in order to prevent insects from climbing up from the calves, it is necessary to wrap white cloth between the calves, that is, leggings.

It just so happened that Gongsun Jian had already come up with a set yesterday.

He himself put on the back road; "All soldiers and generals must have such a set of equipment, and when you go to the Yamen, I don't care what method they use, I must ensure the supply of 200,000 sets. The deadline is two months to complete. Gongsun Jian pointed at Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu responded and was about to leave, but Gongsun Niu grabbed him and added; "Tell him, don't do it to the people, otherwise I will kill if I complete the task

After Zhang Fu left, Gongsun Niu took out a drawing again, on which it was obviously a long knife, it seemed to be a big knife, but it was not, only more than half a person high. "Master, what are you?" Wu Zhanji will always have endless questions.

Gongsun Vain was not angry at him for asking so much, but laughed; "Didn't Commander Chen just say that the elephant army is difficult to deal with, this is to deal with the elephant army

Target. ”

Don't look at the elephant man's tall horse, his support point is on its hamstrings, once the elephant breaks the hamstrings, waiting for him can only fall to the ground with a bang, and will not pose any threat to the army.

But this must undergo a certain amount of training, and for this matter, Gongsun Jian casually handed over the drawings to Wu Gaoxu; "Let the Ordnance Division, according to my size, build five hundred, and you will select five hundred people from the army to form a separate battalion. I'll show you how to train. When the time comes, once you meet the elephant army, you have to give me a top, I can't do it, I will cut you. ”

Everything was arranged, Gongsun vain breathed a sigh of relief, and next, that is, after Mu Sheng and Liu Daqing, the commander of the water division, arrived, they discussed the route of sending troops

Line.

Half a month later, Mu Sheng, who came from Yunnan, and Liu Daqing, the governor of the navy, rushed to Guilin.

As the main general, Gongsun Jian did not engage in a word, but after listening to the suggestions of Mu Sheng, Chen Xuan and Liu Daqing, he decided to divide the troops into three routes.

On the west road, with Mu Sheng as the general, he led the Yunnan garrison of 70,000 people to attack from the west. On the east road, Gongsun Jian personally commanded 100,000 troops and attacked from the east

marched, and then the army converged at the Baihe River.

As for Liu Daqing's sailors, they swam near the waters of Annam. Let it hold back, and prevent Annan from pulling his troops into the hinterland to fight.

Everything was ready, orders were being issued, and the armies were making intensive preparations, but Gongsun Jian had no intention of marching. This made Zhang Fu, Wu Gaoxu and others very incomprehensible that Qi Shushu came to Gongsun Jian's Chinese army tent.

"I said General, is it that no one in the south makes you wonder what we are here for. We've been resting here for almost three months, and Hu Hancang has mobilized more than 100,000 troops to prepare in the past few months, so we can't wait for him to finish preparing before starting. Zhang Fu sat on the chair, took a sip of the teacup, raised his head and asked.
