Looking at the unbelievable look on the faces of Yu Qian and the fifth child, Zhu Zhanji didn't say anything more, just said: "Okay, you don't have to care so much, hurry up and arrange shelter and food for these soldiers, and the food supplies brought are all thrown away on the way, by the way, tomorrow at dawn, I will send some people in the city to pick up the things again at the place where the baggage supplies are thrown, and no one will pick up the things thrown at that time." ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Yu Qian hurriedly received his order.

However, before leaving, I still couldn't help the shock in my heart, and wanted to confirm it again, whether it was true, but I still held back, and just asked in a different way: "Your Highness, do you want to inform the court about the annihilation of the 20,000 cavalry of the Warat Division?" Now that His Royal Highness has come to Mobei in person, the ministers of An Yi'an and the hearts of the people of the world are still in the capital. ”

Listening to Yu Qian's question, Zhu Zhanji did not refuse again.

After all, he has a point.

Before leaving, the ministers of the court and China were worried about whether his trip would be successful.

Although he forcibly overpowered everyone's opinions, the human heart is not something that can be suppressed.

If you want them to be stable, you have to tell them the facts.

In this way, the courtiers in various places, including those in the court, can also feel at ease, and the pressure on the third child can also be reduced.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji said directly: "It's good to tell them, and you can personally go to the army to collect the battle report, and then compile it into a book and send it back to the court." ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Yu Qian was stunned.

Really.

His Royal Highness Taisun really relied on these 5,000 cavalry to defeat the 20,000 cavalry of the Navara Division.

If this is not the truth, it is just to appease their Mobei's heart, and they will definitely not pass this matter back to the imperial capital.

Thinking of this, Yu Qian didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly replied: "Weichen takes orders!" ”

With Yu Qian leaving, Zhu Zhandong, the fifth elder who was originally by his side, still hasn't recovered from the shock of hearing the news just now.

He is different from that Yu Qian.

He has always trusted his eldest brother.

As long as his eldest brother said it, he would never have the slightest doubt.

But it was precisely because he believed in this matter that he became more and more shocked by this incident.

Cavalry against cavalry.

is Taizu, and his grandfather Zhu Di, who became famous for defeating the cavalry of the Mongolian tribe one-on-one with cavalry.

Not to mention contemporary, even in the entire long history, there are only a handful of people who can do this.

Most of the time, they relied on the national strength of the Central Plains to defeat it.

But what about my eldest brother.

But with only 5,000 men, he defeated the 20,000 cavalry of the Navarat tribe on the way!

Not only that, but he also killed more than 13,000 people on the spot, and killed the leader of the other tribe, Hiros Tohuan, leaving less than 7,000 people to flee in all directions.

Look at the soldiers who had just entered the city.

I don't dare to say that they were all unscathed, but at least I didn't see too many wounded.

Although it is unknown how many people came back, judging from the fact that there were not many wounded, this battle was at least a big victory.

It's not like all the wounded were discarded, right?

For a while, for the eldest brother in front of him, who had already done a lot of shocking things, Zhu Zhandong's heart added a sense of respect.

I feel that my eldest brother seems to have countless secrets.

Every seemingly random move in his hands can often play an effect that others can't do in a lifetime.

Just when the fifth Zhu Zhanji was still in shock, Zhu Zhanji, who had already walked a few steps on the side, turned his head with a frown and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's go? ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, the fifth Zhu Zhanji came back to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.

There were some things that Yu Qian didn't dare to ask more, but the fifth Zhu Zhan didn't have so many taboos, and kept asking Zhu Zhanji about the entire process of the war along the way.

Inside the General's Mansion in Dingbei City.

This is where the old man once lived, the whole general's mansion is very large, the main house has been kept because the emperor has lived, and the fifth Zhu Zhan and Yu Qian both live in the partial house.

Now that Zhu Zhanji came, he also lived in it directly.

in the room of the main house.

Zhu Zhanji, who had been fighting for a day, did not go to rest first, but directly ordered the fifth Zhu Zhanji to carefully explain the situation in Mobei today, and asked him to count all the people and soldiers in Mobei now.

According to their words, the number of soldiers in the entire Mobei city has reached 70,000.

The reason why it exceeded the previous 50,000 was because of the addition of more than 10,000 craftsmen in the hands of the fifth Zhu Zhandong.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanji didn't give them any names after he brought them over, so these people still maintain the previous structure when they were in the old man's army.

However, the actual battlefield combat effectiveness of these people was not sufficient, so Zhu Zhanji did not count them in at all.

Even now, he is reluctant to fight on the battlefield with such an army.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji also knew that it was not the same thing to let them follow the army to fight in the east and west without any name, and he also forgot about them when he was canonized.

Now that he heard the fifth brother mention it again, Zhu Zhanji immediately said: "From now on, the fifth brother, you will lead all the more than 10,000 craftsmen and soldiers under your command to be included in the construction department of the military camp, and you will be the commander of the fifth child, with the rank of third-grade official." ”

"The rest of the division's internal system will be finalized by your fifth child, and it will be submitted to the imperial court for approval after it is finalized."

"Directly obey the orders of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, build with the army during the war, and recuperate around the capital during the war."

"I can specially approve the number of your subordinates to be 30,000, and the remaining more than 10,000 will be collected by you and the court will bear the burden in the future."

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, joy suddenly appeared on the face of the fifth old man.

At the end of the war, the men under his command often talked about it.

Although they were not given a lot of money, now they came from places where war was taking place.

Although they have money far beyond ordinary craftsmen, what they do is not what ordinary craftsmen will do, and now that they have been defeated, the imperial court always has to give some rewards and names.

But I waited and waited and got no news.

Although he, Zhu Zhandong, has been saying that they are the descendants of the grandson, and his eldest brother will consider them for them.

I will not treat them badly.

But he couldn't wait for a piece of news, and he was anxious, not for himself, after all, as long as he was willing, his eldest brother would give him whatever he could.

He was for the craftsmen and soldiers in the army.

Although I wanted to mention it to my eldest brother several times, I didn't say it.

Now after hearing that his eldest brother took the initiative to say these words, Zhu Zhan Rong's heart was unhappy.

This shows that his eldest brother has not forgotten the exploits they have made.

At the same time, this reward is definitely not small.

Construction Division.

Not to mention the issue of intimacy and power, this is at the same level as the Beizhen Fusi of the Jinyi Guard in the capital.

He, the commander, is still the third grade.

The establishments below will definitely not be small.

From an ordinary craftsman, he suddenly reached an official position that could access the three or four grades of the imperial court, this reward.....

The key is that his eldest brother also said that he wants to finalize the establishment issue by himself.

This gives him too much leeway.

Although it still needs the final approval of the imperial court, it is inevitable, and the establishment of any yamen and department must be through the imperial court.

If you don't go through the court, even the court doesn't know about your existence, so what will it become?

It is only through the imperial court that they are essentially regular armies that conform to the rules.

Of course, from it, his fifth eldest Zhu Zhan can also see his eldest brother's trust in him.

But he won't say it, he will only keep it all in his heart.

After all, they are brothers, and some of the words are too straightforward, but they seem rusty.

As long as one is willing to do it, and the other is good to remember, it is enough.

And after that, for the whole hour, Zhu Zhanji was discussing with the fifth brother about transferring troops from Mobei to Nu'er to do the Dusi.

Although the fifth Zhu Zhan Feng does not have jurisdiction over these, it is still possible to discuss.

After all, his fifth child is much more familiar with this place than Zhu Zhanji.

After the final discussion was completed, it was decided to mobilize 40,000 people from Mobei and the 5,000 cavalry under his command to rush to Nuer Gandusi, send people to various cities overnight to transfer troops, and set off early tomorrow morning.

As for the final result, naturally I still have to inform Yu Qian.

But this is just etiquette, after all, Yu Qian is the direct person in charge of Mobei today.

But Zhu Zhanji is the grandson after all, and now he is the only monarch in the court, and he still has this power.

After agreeing on these, Zhu Zhanji was finally able to take a break.

A night's rest.

Although it was a day of fighting, it was more about horseback riding and shooting.

I didn't have much damage to myself, and at most I was just a little too nervous because of the big war.

But after a night's rest, most of the soldiers recovered.

At the same time, most of the troops mobilized from various cities in Mobei have also been prepared.

According to the calculation, they will all arrive at noon and go straight to the road.

In this Dingbei City, after a good night's sleep and a good meal, both Zhu Zhanji and the soldiers under his command have recovered a lot.

These days, the wind and food and sleeping in the open have also tormented them badly.

At noon, after lunch, after all the soldiers had arrived according to plan, they set out on the journey again.

Although the Nuer Gandu Division has always had troops to defend it, there will definitely be no problems for a while, but such a mess must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise the situation that his grandfather has managed to make will be a mess again.

For every day that is fast, the loss of one day can be reduced.

This time, although Zhu Zhanji did not bring the construction division with him, he still brought the fifth brother with him.

In addition to supervising the progress of his craftsmen in Mobei, Lao Wu is not of much use, and these things can be handed over to one or two trustworthy people to do, so as to train them.

I can't say that everything I do in the future must be the fifth child.

These things of building a city are not once or twice, and those under him also have their own experience.

In addition, now that Mobei is no longer threatened by the Navarat tribe, the next thing to do is to recuperate and develop.

There's not much need for the fifth child to stay here.

The reason why they stayed here in the first place was also to be able to learn more from Yu Qian about the experience of dealing with the enemy army.

But now it is clear that this opportunity is not available.

In that case, it is better to bring it with you.

For his younger brother, the fifth Zhu Zhandong, whether it is from what he has seen or from history, this person is a very trustworthy person.

And the talent is extraordinary.

Being able to cross the throne five times without sitting on the throne is not something that ordinary people can have.

Therefore, for his expectations, Zhu Zhanji is not limited to the commander of a mere construction department.

In the future, his upper limit will be higher than Yu Qian's in Zhu Zhanji's opinion.

In history, it was only because his eldest brother was Zhu Zhanji that many aspects of his talents could not be brought into play.

There are too many contraindications.

But today's Zhu Zhanji is not the Zhu Zhanji in history, such a big person is his own brother, if he doesn't use it, then he is blind.

Moreover, in Zhu Zhanji's ambition, what he wants to do is not just a qualified feudal monarch.

In this case, the key is to embrace all rivers, make the best use of things, and make the best use of talents.

You can't just do nothing because you're afraid of going wrong.

On the contrary, compared with this, what Zhu Zhanji is more willing to do is to firmly go down this road even if there is a problem.

Therefore, this old five, he definitely has to spend a lot of money to 'identify' it.

Moreover, in the entire Ming Dynasty today, needless to say, most of the court officials and ministers are the descendants of his father's disciples, although they still need to be adjusted slowly, but they are not urgently needed now.

And the newly established inner treasury, that is, the business of making money, has Zhu Zhanyong, the third child of his family, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

Although the third child is far inferior to the fifth child in terms of talent, as far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, the most suitable person for him to use is only the third child.

And what else is there besides these?

Naturally, it is in this army.

If you want to control the world, power, money, and soldiers, this is something that cannot be easy at any time.

The money and the power are there.

Only that soldier is what he Zhu Zhanji lacks the most now.

It can be seen from the rebellion of his second and third uncles.

If he, Zhu Zhanji, also had the same control power in the army as the court and the inner library, would such a thing still happen?

It's definitely impossible.

Even if it does, it will not reach the point where it is in such a desperate crisis.

Although Zhu Zhanji had already gained a lot of prestige in the previous battle in Mobei, and no one dared to question his commanding ability, this was not enough.

What is the control of an army?

It's through the generals in the army, big and small!

Only by cultivating all these people into their own lineage can they be regarded as truly in control.

But Zhu Zhanji, as the monarch, could not be like his old man, and he was about to confuse the name of the general of the expedition to the north.

What he wants to do is to be like his grandfather.

You can command the army on horseback, but you must also learn to use people.

And this fifth old Zhu Zhan is the person he selected for the Ming Dynasty army.

At the same time, it is also a pawn planted by him in the reform of the Ming Dynasty's military structure.

This time, he went with him to Nuer Gandusi, so that he was familiar with the combat methods of the musketeers, and slowly, he could directly command this team.

At the same time, along with the success of the research and development of various new technologies for this era, new types of weapons and equipment.

The new army formed will also be led by him.

A contrast to the old-fashioned army.

Of course, this is not to say that old-fashioned armies don't need to train people to command.

For now, the British public Zhang Fu is a suitable candidate.

But this is for now.

Compared to sitting in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the more suitable place for Zhang Fu to stay is Jiaozhi!

Countless people in history have said that if Zhang Fu is in charge of Jiaozhi, maybe Jiaozhi will not be lost, so let time verify it.

And after Zhang Fu left, the follow-up candidates were Chen Mao and Zhang Fu's son, Zhang Mao.

Of course, these are all the ideas of Zhu Zhanji's heart.

Everything will depend on the actual situation later.

But people who have no foresight must have near-term worries, especially when the emperor is the emperor, the ability to allocate these powers to the people is often more important than the emperor's own ability.

All the way.

The fifth old Zhu Zhan was not what Zhu Zhanji expected, and when he found out that the muskets that those soldiers were equipped with were different from the traditional firearms, he immediately became interested.

After truly understanding the effect of these muskets, he became more curious about Zhu Zhanji's defeat of 20,000 troops in the previous battle.

Either pestered Zhu Zhanji to tell him, or asked those soldiers on the side.

All in all, I want to really understand how effective these muskets can really be on the battlefield.

And what are the effects and drawbacks.

This is exactly the same as his previous temperament of longing for military life.

In the eyes of the fifth old Zhu Zhandong, what he wants to do is to be a character like his grandfather, who can fight well.

Lay a vast land for the homeland.

His performances also strengthened Zhu Zhanji's expectations for him.

Therefore, along the way, he also took the trouble to tell him about the tactics and advantages and disadvantages of the use of new weapons.

"Heaven Descends"

I want him to be able to think like himself, out of the form and method of conventional combat.

Of course, we cannot completely divorce ourselves from reality, and innovation can only be based on traditional military innovation.

After all, the productive forces of the Ming Dynasty are far from being able to completely subvert the conventional form of warfare.

Even the Korean Peninsula War in later generations, which was as strong as a beautiful army, was a conventional combat method that was not much different from ancient warfare, but the weapons used were much more advanced.

There's a lot more that can be done.

In essence, it is still a form of warfare that mainly focuses on land warfare and takes the geographical topography of the land as the target of contention.

It was only in the Gulf War that it was a truly subversive form of warfare.

Ground operations are even negligible.

Just when Zhu Zhanji led the army, while constantly marching, while taking advantage of the slow speed of the infantry, and constantly guiding the fifth Zhu Zhandong, a news from the north city of Mobei was also spreading rapidly towards the capital.

At this time, the most worried about the Mobei form is the imperial court in the capital and the small farm courtyard behind the Shanhaiguan.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all worried about His Royal Highness Taisun, who had disappeared for so many days, whether he had reached Mobei or not, and whether he had encountered the army of the Warat people.

And in the small courtyard of the farmhouse.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi no longer worry about their grandsons and sons all the time.
