With Tang and this peacemaker, others have also recommended talents. Sometimes, because of disagreements, discussions can still quarrel.

Zhu Yunxi listened to the noisy gossip of the people in the room, and only felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

The 500,000 army has not yet landed, and the generals of the five roads have been found by them for almost ten?

In fact, with the size of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention 500,000 troops, a million troops can be put together. The point is that the cost is too great to outweigh the losses.

If it only fights for a few months, the Ming Dynasty can still support the expenses of a million army. But if the war lasts for a few years, the cost of a million people will not be enough.

Moreover, the agricultural production delayed for this reason, as well as all kinds of industries, will also suffer huge losses.

Therefore, after Lao Zhu became emperor, he organized a Northern Expedition every two years on average, but he only dared to control the number of people at about 100,000. I am afraid that there are too many people, and the impact on the economy of Daming will be too great.

Zhu Yunxi basically inherited Lao Zhu's ideas, and didn't want to use too many people to conquer the Northern Yuan. The reason why he discussed the concept of a 500,000-strong army was to count the combined armies of the naturalized army and other tribes.

The real Ming soldiers can go up to the sky with 300,000.

When Zhu Yunxi was slandering in his heart, Lao Zhu felt good about himself, feeling fortunate to have him, the imperial grandfather, otherwise his eldest grandson would not even be able to pick out a qualified general.

"Grandson, have you written down all these people?"

"If you go north in the future, you will pick the main general from here, and no matter how bad it is, you can make them a deputy general or something."

Zhu Yunxi didn't think so when he heard this, but he agreed with a smile on his face.

"Grandson remembers, thank you for the recommendation of Grandpa Huang and all the veterans."

"Come on, let's continue to discuss what tactics to use to attack the Northern Yuan ......."

The next discussion is the free play time of several veterans, some advocate the use of cavalry to maneuver quickly, some advocate the slow advance of infantry, and some advocate the coordination of infantry and cavalry, which can not only ensure logistics supply, but also ensure the mobility of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

As for feeding the war with war, basically no one mentions feeding the enemy.

This kind of thing requires luck against the sky, if you don't have Huo Quzhi's ability to have its own navigation and grab food wherever you go, it's better to be steady and steady, and slowly push it step by step.

After all, Li Guang, a famous general at the same time as Huo Quai, was unable to seal the Hou because he was lost.

Therefore, it is enough to think about such a thing as a light cavalry raid, whoever uses this as the main means of attack will sooner or later be taught to be a man by the bad weather on the steppe.

Lan Yu was also unusual, and did not make any risky suggestions, but only proposed to set up some supply points on the grassland in advance to facilitate the subsequent advance of the army.

This was unanimously praised by everyone present, and Zhu Yunxi immediately said that he would immediately start ordering people to prepare.

In fact, the so-called supply point is to build cities, and then supplement them with some fortresses to build military towns.

If you had put it in the past, you wouldn't have thought about it.

First, the distance is long, and second, the cost is huge.

However, now with railways, inland resources can be easily transported to the border. It was relatively easy to transport it to the place where the city was built by horse-drawn carts and ox-carts.

Later, everyone had a discussion about the location of the city, and Zhu Yunxi just stood aside and watched silently during this period. In fact, he also has a set of plans in mind, that is, to build according to the map of later generations.

However, to his surprise, the location chosen by these seemingly vulgar veterans to build the city was surprisingly similar to that of later generations.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Yunxi's suggestion to build cities outside the Yellow River loop was still within Zhu Yunxi's expectations, after all, Baotou and Bayannur were in the vicinity of the later generations. But when Lan Yu pointed his finger at Ulaanbaatar in the later generations, Zhu Yunxi showed a shocked expression.

"Liang Guogong, it's too far away to build a city here, can we hold it?"

Lan Yu said resolutely.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!"

"I've been to this place in my early years when I was fighting, it's surrounded by mountains in the north and south, and a large grassland in the middle, and more

The two rivers pass through here, and it can be said that it is one of the few places on the grassland where soldiers must fight."

"If we don't occupy it, the Beiyuan people will rely on this, attacking and retreating, so that our Ming Dynasty will be unable to defend it!"

Hearing this, the others also gathered in front of the map to watch, they were not as wild as Lan Yu, and they had not been that far away. But seeing that Lan Yu said this so well, they couldn't help but be a little curious.

"It's a bit far from the Northern Yuan Khan's Court, right?"

There is no one else who dares to question Lan Yu in person except Lao Zhu.

Lan Yu heard Lao Zhu's questioning and said humbly.

"It's true that this place is a bit far from the Northern Yuan Khan's Court, but Wechen's intention in suggesting that this place be occupied is to cut off the possibility of escaping from the Northern Yuan Cave."

"Although the main forces of the Northern Yuan are now on the side of Warat, we still have to fight from east to west when we fight."

"One is to sweep away the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland, and the other is to subdue some tribes that are not reused, so that they can be the forerunner of the Ming Dynasty."

"This step-by-step strategy is the only way to defeat the enemy."

"Moreover, there is another advantage of occupying this place, that is, you can use this place as a foundation to dominate the grassland within a radius of thousands of miles, so that those tribes on the grassland will not dare to act rashly."

"Otherwise, even if we destroy the Northern Yuan, there will be countless grass kings on the grassland, and it will be even more difficult for us to deal with it at that time."

Lao Zhu heard Lan Yu's explanation and nodded appreciatively.

Lao Zhu just didn't look down on Lan Yu's stinky temper, but he always appreciated Lan Yu's military talent.

After everyone finished discussing, Zhu Yunxi looked in the direction of Ulaanbaatar with a bitter face.

"If you build a city here, you won't be able to do it in three or two years, and the Northern Expedition can only be postponed."

Lao Zhu smiled and patted his eldest grandson's shoulder.

"Silly boy!"

"Do you think the Northern Yuan is so easy to destroy?"

"If you can completely solve this *** annoyance in your lifetime, the kings of the future generations will have to call you an ancestor!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he suddenly blessed his soul.

"Becoming an ancestor?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, the entire government hall was silent.

Everyone said in their hearts, good guy, Your Majesty just made a joke, the imperial grandson even thought about his own temple number?

After Lao Zhu was stunned, he slapped Zhu Yunxi's head.

"What nonsense!"

"We haven't entered the temple yet, why are you in a hurry!"

Zhu Yunxi shrank his neck weakly, and hurriedly beckoned someone to go to the side hall for dinner.

He is not as deductible as Lao Zhu, as long as he does more work, he doesn't dare to say, he will definitely take care of the meal at noon!

When everyone heard that the meal was open, they were so happy that they didn't look at it and laughed.

They have eaten a lot of His Majesty's food, but the emperor's grandson's food is still the first to be eaten.

Everyone came to the side hall with great anticipation, and was directly dumbfounded when they saw a dazzling array of dishes.

Lao Zhu was also a little surprised, but his eyes were well concealed. After all, he had seen this kind of eating method as early as when he was in the Hope Academy.

When everyone was confused, Lao Zhu came to the plate area to get a plate, then walked to the rice and served a big spoonful of rice, and then came to the dish area and filled himself with a full plate of dishes.

When everyone saw Lao Zhu's movements, they immediately followed suit, and Feng Sheng, the rice bucket, directly took two dinner plates, one for rice and one for vegetables.

As for the other generals, they are also very similar, and those who can take two plates will never take one.

Fu Youde and the others praised with a smile while sandwiching the dishes.

"This way of eating is good, you can choose what you want to eat, but it is much more affordable than eating a large table of dishes!"

"That's it!"

"In the past, there was a banquet in the palace, and there were only one or two dishes on the table, and I didn't even bother to look at the other dishes."

"It's still the emperor's grandson's side, there are meat and vegetables, you can eat whatever you want!"

Most people are very satisfied with this buffet eating method, only Lan Yu is noisy about it

Drink alcohol. In fact, others also want it, but because the old emperor is here, they don't dare to make a mistake.

As for Lan Yu, he has now been deprived of his title, how can he show his inner anguish if he doesn't lie coquettish?

"Liang Guogong, there is no wine here, but if there is wine, the price will be to drink it."

"Sake brewing...... Then come to two altars......

Zhu Yunxi ordered someone to send him two altars, and he also led the subordinate officials of the government hall to eat together.

These veterans also shouted five and six when they ate, even if the sweet wine brewed, it could make them drink a little drunk.

As for how much is pretending to be drunk and how sober it is, no one can tell.

After all, with Lan Yu, a super huge "wronged baby", present, even if he is not drunk, he can get drunk a little.

Lan Yu drank with some old acquaintances for a while, and suddenly felt bored, so he carried a wine jar to Zhu Yunxi to complain.

"Niece and grandson, we really can't be idle, there are not many students in your military academy, and the old man is about to grow maggots when he stays there..."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Lan Yu when he heard this.

"Uncle, can we say something clean when we eat?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth.

"Let's talk about it again!"

"We want to go to the barracks to take care of something, even if we let the old man raise horses, it's better than always carrying it, right?"

"Besides, the level of those students in your military academy is too poor, and they really don't have the material to be generals, old man......

"Alas......

Zhu Yunxi also sighed when he heard this, he originally thought that the general could teach this thing, but it turned out that this thing was really not taught, but born.

He carefully selected a few young people who thought he was more talented in military affairs and handed them over to Lan Yudai, but in the past two years, he was stunned that Mao had not been trained, and at best he could only manage military logistics in the barracks.

As for the ability to lead troops, in Lan Yu's words, it is not as good as the dog that watches the gate at his house......

"Uncle, what do you say would happen if you chose a child from among the generals and nobles?"

"They......"

Lan Yu's old face habitually showed a look of disdain.

"It's not that we look down on them, just these second ancestors, they don't have a war horse to live long when they are thrown on the battlefield!"

Zhu Yunxi automatically filtered the taunts from the famous generals.

"Let's say if they can be better off than the current students?"

"Well......

Lan Yu really thought about it seriously, and said after thinking for a while.

"There is a way that Lao Tzu is a hero, and the son of a mouse will make holes."

"If you choose from the children of military generals, the probability of becoming a talent should be higher."

"But if you really want them to become independent generals, you have to go through the battlefield experience. Only after the big waves and sand, the rest are heroes!"

"It's just...... Are they willing to throw their children into your school?"

"Others don't know, but the old man knows very well, your broken school only has a few desks......

"Shhhhhh

"Uncle, if you talk too much, I'll strangle your son to death!"

Lan Yu shut up decisively when she heard this, but her arrogant little eyes were full of disbelief. He knows what virtues those generals and nobles have, and they don't see rabbits or eagles one by one.

Don't look at Zhu Yunxi as the emperor's grandson, but if you want him to fool those old guys into sending the children of the family over to make him ruined, it is not happy to kill them.

If they let them send their children to follow Chang Sheng, then let these old guys stick upside down. After all, following Chang Sheng, although it is a bit dangerous, can definitely get military merit.

With such a criminal as Lan Yu, what can you do in a broken school with only a few desks?

Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, and then pretended to discuss loudly with Lan Yu.

"Uncle, I heard that you have trained a few good disciples in the past two years?"

"Huh?"

Lan Yu suddenly heard this, and his face was full of confusion with a capital letter. But when he saw Zhu Yunxi frowning at him, he instantly realized that he dared to love this grandson for others!

"Ahhh......hh It's okay, even if it's not as good as the old man, it's still the best among the younger generation!"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly picked up the topic when he heard this.

"Oh, this is great, it just so happens that my second uncle just wrote to me, saying that the war in the north is tight, and there are not enough generals and colonels in hand, so let me pick a few outstanding people to send over......

"Uncle, you should do me a favor and lend me your disciples!"

Lan Yu's stomach almost twitched with laughter when she heard this, but she still had to pretend to be serious on her face.

"No!"

"They are far from the old man, and they haven't even learned the old man's little finger skills, isn't it smashing the old man's signboard when they are sent out now!"

"You wait for us to train them for another two years, and I promise to give you a few qualified generals!"

The words of the two were very loud, and they were naturally heard by the veterans who were drinking and boxing around.

Everyone heard the conversation between the two, and they began to ponder in their hearts one by one.

"Lan Yu has accepted apprentices?"

"When is this, why doesn't the old man know?"

"I don't know, it's the first time I've heard of it."

"This guy is so stingy, I think we were also a lifelong friendship back then, and he accepted his apprentice and didn't accept the stupid boy of my family, who does this look down on?"

Only Fu Youde frowned and said weakly.

"Could it be the military school outside the city?"

"What school?"

"In the early years, the imperial grandson set up a military school and let Lan Yu be the headmaster, but he didn't recruit a few students, and he didn't hear what the name of the teacher was, so why did he suddenly have to be sent to the front line?"

Some of the others suddenly realized when they heard this, and some were still confused.

"I also heard that at that time, the imperial grandson still let my baby go, I hated that the place was unproductive, and I threw my baby into Yulinwei to live a mess......

"Oops!"

"Lan Yu also mentioned it to me before, but I thought that my own sons had entered the Jinyi Guard, so I didn't take his place seriously."

"Now that I look at it, this is a good place, a place for the emperor's grandson to train generals!"

"I just don't know if I can take care of me if I'm looking for Lanyu's husband now..."

Lao Zhu quietly listened to everyone's discussions, and there were ten thousand question marks in his heart. He clearly remembered the report from the Dongchang before, saying that the place was a joke. There are just a few broken tables, plus a martial arts arena for practicing riding and archery, in which more than a dozen students have been practicing for almost two years, and they still miss the target when they run fast on horseback......

Why did this suddenly become a training camp for famous generals, could it be this grandson and Lan Yu's old puppet playing them?
