Yun Xi continued: "All students should also know that Samarkand in the northwest did not accept the king, although it sent people to the Ming Dynasty several times, but it was only because it coveted the Central Plains so that people could listen to the reality of the Ming Dynasty, in a vain attempt to destroy the Ming Dynasty like the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty is at its peak and is not afraid of Samarkand, it must not be guarded against. ”

"Recently, the king of Qin in the northwest and the people from the Yamen of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division reported to the imperial court that Samarkand had already made a strong army, and after consulting with the ministers close to me, I thought that most of them were preparing for the Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, the students present were shocked. Although since the beginning of the year, there have been rumors in the capital that Samarkand is going to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the east, and there are rumors that the mastermind behind the emperor's evil magic in Guangzhou is a person from Samarkand, but they are not very foolish people, even if this is true, they don't know which year, but they don't want Samarkand to go to Daming next year!

The crowd couldn't help but talk again. Han Cheng asked Qin Shuang quietly: "Qin Shuang, Samarkand will go to Daming next year?" ”

"How do I know?" Qin Shuang said: "Although I was born in Yiwu, and Yiwu was also under the rule of King Qin, I have been in the capital for the past two years, how can I know such a thing?" What's more, my father is only a hundred households, and even if this is true, he will not know about it now. ”

After Yun Xi waited for everyone to be quiet again, he continued: "All the students are the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and all they lack is the experience of conquest. There are many generals used in this battle, and whether you are escorting grain and grass, serving as a staff officer for the generals, or serving as a general by my side, or serving as a general in thousands of households and guards, after defeating the soldiers of Samarkand, you will have become experienced generals, and I will be able to appoint you with confidence in the future. ”

After hearing Yun Xi's words, the students of Lu Shi present all breathed a sigh of relief.

They were not stupid, and immediately after Yun Xi talked about the battle against Samarkand, he thought: 'Your Majesty mentioned this battle in front of us, and he had already said that he would not let us return to our original guard, and he would definitely let us serve in this battle. Combined with what the emperor said before, we have been trained in thousands of households, and the emperor wants us to personally lead troops to fight with the army of Samarkand! ’

Thinking of this, they were immediately very worried. The battle with Samarkand was not the bandit war they saw their elders fight when they were in their hometown, it was bound to be a big war, similar to the big battle between Daming and Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and Meng Yuan.

Such battles were very tragic, and most of the attacks were enough, and Emperor Yuan Shun ran away by himself, so the casualties were not large, but the casualties in the rest of the battles were not small. If he is an official in the guard, the probability of dying in battle is very small; But if it is in thousands of households, it will increase greatly. Although even in the most tragic battle, the number of people killed on the spot is generally not more than 20%, but the probability of 20% of the death in battle is not low.

So when they heard Yun Xi say so much, they were all relieved to use their methods. "The emperor really still loves us students who teach martial arts, and he doesn't want us all to die on the battlefield." Everyone thought.

Yun Xi said a few more words and got off the stage. Before stepping back, he saw that most of the students in the classroom had relaxed expressions, and his own face was smiling.

But after coming off the stage, Yunxi's smile changed. In fact, his purpose was to let these students who had just graduated from the martial arts hall enrich the thousands of households of the army that was at war with Samarkand, and let them serve as deputy thousand households or hundreds of households, so that they could accumulate experience in the fierce war, and when the battle was over, they would have rich experience.

But in order to prevent them from panicking too much, he didn't say it directly, but gave them so many choices that they thought that there were only a few people who would go to thousands of households to become officials in the end. But in reality, it will be the majority.

But even so, don't put them in the guards with the heaviest casualties. It's not easy for me to train so many people. Yun Xi thought.

He was in a trance, and after Zheng Xuan saluted, he immediately asked urgently: "Your Majesty, is Samarkand really going to send troops?" ”

"I also said it just now, but it's just speculation, and there is no evidence to prove that he will definitely send troops to the east to conquer the Ming Dynasty." Yun Xi came back to his senses and replied.

"Your Majesty, but is this because Samarkand only wants to go east and fight in the east, not the Ming Dynasty?" Yu Zhouwen asked.

"Even if he just wants to go east, I will definitely send troops." Yun Xi said: "Yili put Li close to the Qin Domain, if Samarkand destroys Yili Lili to gain a firm foothold there, and then send troops to the east, Yiwu will definitely not be able to hold it, and even Handong, Chijin, Shazhou and other places can't hold it, so they can only retreat east to Jiayu Pass." ”

"And when Samarkand occupied Iwu, there were many changes in its strategy for going out, and the battle was all in the hands of Timur, and at that time in order to protect the northwest, it had to be heavily garrisoned here. The northwest is barren and difficult to support hundreds of thousands of troops all year round, and it is not easy to transport grain through waterways. ”

Both Yun Xi and Shang Bing are eyeing Yili and want to take away his land and population, but this yellow bird can't do it during the Eastern Crusade of Samarkand. With the strength of Yili Jiangli, he is just a fox between the two countries of Daming and Samarkand, although he does not leave his hand, but whether Samarkand or Daming can destroy him as long as he is serious, Yunxi and Shang Bing are not worried that he will covet Yiwu or the land west of the river, and Yiwu was still captured with the help of Yili and the previous Great Khan of the Black Son.

But if Samarkand is allowed to seize Yili Li, it is equivalent to a lion eating a fox, and even if Daming is a tiger, a lion squatting behind his ass will not be at ease.

Yu Zhouwen also understood this truth, but still asked: "What if you send troops while Yili has just been defeated?" ”

"How do you grasp such an opportunity?" Yun Xi asked rhetorically: "Without the technique of transmitting sound for thousands of miles, how can we accurately grasp such an opportunity?" I have discussed this with the old generals, but they all say that it will be very difficult to seize this fleeting opportunity, and even if they may not be able to do so. In order to be safe, it is better to join forces with Yili to fight the enemy. ”

Yu Zhouwen thought for a while, and came up with a question to ask Yun Xi, but suddenly remembered his identity, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The minister has overstepped, please forgive your majesty." ”

"It's okay," Yun Xi said with a smile, "It's very important for the battle of Samarkand, and I want to brainstorm ideas, if you have any good ideas, you can also give me a good idea, and I will not get tired of it." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Yun Xi instructed Yu Zhouwen and Zheng Xuan again: "Tomorrow is the twenty-third year of the lunar month, and you are entertaining the students in the lecture hall; Although these students have graduated, they can't ignore it, and they are also left to entertain them in the lecture hall. If you have a family near the capital and want to go home, just do it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two of them hurriedly agreed.

"Every year, the two of you have to stay in school to spend the New Year with the students, which is much harder than the rest of the officials, and I can't bear it." Yun Xi said again.

"It's not hard for the ministers to share the worries of the king." The two of them said in unison.

"Haha, it's hard to worry about you." Yun Xi smiled: "Who said that it is not hard to worry about the king?" Fortunately, the lecture hall only started on the second day of the second month of February, and you have only started to be busy since the end of the first month. But I still want to reward you. Yun Xi said and rewarded the two of them. They hurried thanks.

Yun Xi said a few more words and left the lecture hall with the two of them and the second-year students seeing them off.

Seeing Yun Xi leave, Qin Shuang and Han Cheng returned to the bedroom, turned their heads sideways and said to him, "I remember that you are already married and already have children?" ”

"That's true, what's wrong?" Han Cheng felt strange and asked rhetorically.

"Nothing." Qin Shuang said, "Just ask." ”
