After Li Dayong left, Lu Ning should also think about the next thing, so he set up a big banquet in the lecture hall.

The people invited to this banquet were the instructors in the martial arts hall, all of whom were the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty and the descendants of the heroes.

At this time, everyone present did not understand why a banquet was suddenly set up.

Could it be that there is a phased success, and the education chief is ready to treat everyone?

However, with Lu Ning's style, it may be more appropriate to give real money directly, how can he think of eating.

Everyone was chattering there and talking in private, but Lu Ning didn't think of so much.

He directly took out a globe and gave everyone an introduction.

At this time, all the people here were civil and military officials above the third grade, and they naturally knew very well what was going on with the ball instrument in their hearts.

After Lu Ning's introduction, they also knew that the Ming Dynasty was not the only country in the world, and there were many small countries and tribes outside the Ming Dynasty.

There are even places that have not yet been civilized, but they contain a lot of resources.

Seeing that everyone was talking there, Lu Ning waved his hand, indicating that everyone should stop, and then said to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now there is an opportunity to make contributions, Your Majesty wants to open up overseas territories, look for overseas gold mines and diamond mines, you need to send people to visit the sea, I don't know who can share the emperor's worries!"

Most of these people present were Waixi's old generals, and they were naturally highly meritorious.

However, since the founding of the country, many people have been named Hou Bo or even Guogong, so there are many lawless things.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view at this time, these Huaixi generals who fought the world back then had become a burden on the imperial court at this time.

Under the advice of Liu Bowen and others, many checks and balances on the nobles have arisen in the imperial court.

At this time, they only have two ways, one is to accept Zhu Yuanzhang's cup of wine to release the military power, and the other is to find another way out of the army, anyway, they can't rebel.

Just when they were in a panic, Lu Ning gave them the identity of a martial arts instructor.

At this time, it was time to raise troops overseas, and everyone was instantly excited.

You must know that if you can use troops overseas, these old Huaixi troops who can only fight wars will have a place to use, and naturally they will no longer need to unload their armor and return to the field.

Everyone admired Lu Ning very much, and it was that kind of respect from the heart.

It is because Lu Ning chose the best way out for them, so that they will not end up as the founding heroes of the country, and they will end up with a bleak consequence.

Even Tang Shengzong, who didn't deal with Lu Ning at the beginning, came over to toast in person, saying that he must obey the command and be unambiguous.

So, seeing everyone in such a state, it is really brave and usable.

Therefore, Lu Ning immediately gave Zhu Yuanzhang a recital and said that he was ready to go to sea to fight, and asked His Majesty to give instructions.

Zhu Yuanzhang recruited all these old Huaixi generals to the main hall and told them.

"Generals, you have followed me all the way from the Huaixi Uprising to the present, you are all brothers connected by blood, and now the Ming Dynasty is in the ascendant, and there are still many things waiting for you to do, do you have confidence?"

These generals all pinned their heads to the waistbands of their trousers to get all the way to the present.

Where they are afraid of going into battle, what they are afraid of is that after they are disarmed and returned to the field, they will only fight and become old peasants.

Now that they have been given the opportunity to fight, they are naturally excited one by one.

Therefore, most of them made various statements to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that as long as they had any fear on the battlefield, they would ask the prison army to kill them on the spot, and they would not tolerate mercy.

Everyone also expressed their position in this way, telling the Ming Emperor that the Huaixi people are not afraid of death, only those who will never retreat for the sake of the country.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang could directly issue the holy decree, and he immediately announced it in person.

"Since this is the case, there is no need to be ambiguous, let's entitle Lu Ning as the chief general of the Ming Expeditionary Force, reward the title of Governor of the Five Armies, and Zhu Di as the supervisor of the Expeditionary Force, Yanjing area, managed by Zhu Di's son Zhu Gaochi."

Then, he asked Lu Ning again.

"Zi'an, let's ask you, if you are asked to form a navy to explore overseas, if you spend a year building sea ships to train the army, is there enough time."

Lu Ning carefully planned the time, and then told Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, you don't need so much time at all, half a year is enough time to train sea ships and navy, and then you can set sail directly."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Lu Ning's ambitious words, and naturally he was even happier in his heart, and immediately replied.

"The ancients once said that giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, but today we feel that giving birth to a son should be like Zi'an, and it is the luck of the Ming Dynasty to have a prince like you."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang praising himself like this, Lu Ning was a little embarrassed, and he said immediately.

"The father and the emperor praised it falsely, the sons just did some things that should be done, but you just have to rest assured, if you can't make a name for yourself overseas and bring benefits to the Ming Dynasty this time, the sons would rather lose all their titles and become a commoner."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately went over and patted him on the shoulder, and said happily.

"You deserve to be our son, with such ambitions, why can't you do it? Go back and prepare at once, and start training the navy to oversee the construction of ships. ”

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang gave another decree to the household department, no matter how much money was lacking when supervising the construction of sea ships, as long as Lu Ning opened his mouth, the household department must give full support.
