Yu Qian glanced over and looked at His Royal Highness the Twenty-Year-Old Prince, his eyes were full of the shadow of His Majesty Taizong back then.

I sighed secretly in my heart.

Daming ......

How nice it would have been if there had been no fourteen years of Orthodoxy.

Thinking about it, if there is no fourteen years of orthodoxy, how can Zhu Jianji be the crown prince, just like when Yongle was prosperous, everyone was thinking that if there was no internal friction of Jingjing, Hongwu would directly inherit the Yongle prosperity.

But there is no internal friction, where did the Yongle Emperor come from.

It's all cause and effect.

Fortunately, now that Daming has come out of the trough and is on the way back to the top, at least the current national strength of Daming is similar to that of the early stage of Yongle.

Gathering his thoughts, Yu Qian asked, "Your Highness still plans to use the young army as the main force of the northern expedition?" ”

Zhu Jianji nodded, and said to Qian: "Yes, only the young army is used, the Shanhaiguan garrison, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and even the regimental battalion are only responsible for ensuring the logistics of the young army." ”

Everyone secretly slandered in their hearts.

It is too extravagant to let the elite division and battalion of the Ming Dynasty take care of the logistics.

But it can't be helped.

Now the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty are indeed young troops.

When the young army was only 10,000 people, it could still start from the Hami area and sweep the line outside the pass from west to east, and now the young army has expanded to 50,000 people.

If you divide it into five fronts, you can completely collapse outside the gate.

Of course, this is not feasible.

The fifth-line troops went on the expedition, and the Ming Dynasty currently did not have the strength to ensure the supply of logistics baggage.

Chen Xundao, the head of the household, said: "Your Highness, is the young army attacking with the whole army?" ”

As the head of the household, he has only one thing to do: to make every effort to deploy materials and ensure that when the young army marches north to the Jurchens, it will not lose its rhythm because of the logistical support of the household.

Zhu Jianji said: "Yes, the young army has 30,000 firearms troops, plus 20,000 heavy snow iron horses. ”

If there are not enough people, how to plow the court and sweep the holes.

For the Mongolian tribes, Zhu Jianji felt that he could slowly figure it out, and even if there was really any mistake, Zhu Jianji was willing and relieved to hand it over to his son Zhu Youzhen.

But the Jurchens ...... You have to solve it yourself to be reassured.

After all, in history, the Jurchens entered the customs.

Chen Xundao: "With 50,000 troops, the logistical pressure is not heavy, but there are 20,000 cavalry troops in it, and the pressure on grain and grass is a bit great, but Your Highness can rest assured that the household department has been preparing for this matter for more than half a year, and it can come up with 50,000 people for a year's logistical support!" ”

Zhu Jianji said categorically: "It won't take a year, according to Gu's analysis, at most three months, the young army can defeat the Jurchen army on the whole line, so as to enter the ruling period, so on the side of the household department, it is enough to prepare two months of logistics grain and grass, but it is the baggage of 50,000 people, and the household department must be fully equipped, especially the war horse...... The Heavy Snow Iron Cavalry is likely to have a tough battle with the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, and after the war horse is damaged, it will be replenished in time to ensure that the Great Snow Iron Cavalry can bite the Jurchen, so as to achieve the goal of total annihilation! ”

Why do you have to build a Snow Rider?

Here's why.

The 30,000-strong young firearms unit is not a full cavalry army, and if Ligunaha is defeated and flees to the northwest, there is no way to completely annihilate the young army of 30,000 people.

It must be torn with a heavy snow iron horse, so that Li Gunaha can't escape if he wants to.

Chen Xun was a little surprised, "The war horse has been prepared, but His Highness said that it would take three months to defeat the Jurchens, why did the household department only prepare two months of grain and grass?" ”

Zhu Jianji laughed darkly, "There is one month of grain and grass left, let North Korea Li Ji come out." ”

During the Spring Festival, the king of Joseon, Li Xuan, came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, but died on the way back to Korea, and was called Ruizong, and it was Li Xuan's nephew Li Jiao who took over the throne of the king.

This person Zhu Jianji knows.

Seongjong of North Korea.

Li Jiao was born in the eighth year of Jingtai, Ruizong Li Xuantian, because his eldest son died early, the second son was young, Li Jiao was ordered by his grandmother Queen Zhenxi, and ascended the throne in Gyeongbokgung Palace.

But Li Jiao is only twelve years old now.

Therefore, Queen Zhenxi listened to the government.

Of course, Zhu Jianji, as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, knew that it was normal for the vassal state to succeed the king, and Zhu Jianji also had the right to decide on this matter - when the new king of Korea ascended the throne, he must play the Ming Dynasty and ask for canonization.

If Zhu Jianji is not satisfied, he can completely decide whether Li Ji will stay or not.

Zhu Jianji has long known about Li Jia, because the sticks of later generations like to brag, and it is okay to praise Shizong, because Li Jia was pro-government in the twelfth year of Chenghua, and during his reign, he promulgated the "Jingguo Grand Canon", greatly mobilized the power of Shilin, expanded the Hongwen Pavilion, improved the "three divisions of speech" system of the Sixian Mansion, the Si Jian Yuan and the Hongwen Pavilion, edited or published books such as "Five Etiquettes of the National Dynasty", "Selected Oriental Texts", "Eastern Tongjian", "Eastern Land Victory" and other books, attaching importance to cultural governance and worshipping Confucianism and suppressing Buddhism.

Touted as the "Holy Monarch of Peace"!

Sage ......

So Zhu Jianji plans to take care of Li Jiao.

The first step is to make Li Jiao a blood in this northern expedition, and he doesn't dare not go out, because he needs the canonization of the Ming Dynasty to ascend the throne, but after he pays the money, Zhu Jianji is not good not to be canonized.

It's an exchange of interests.

Chen Xunmiao understood what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, and smiled, "Your Highness Shengming!" ”

Because Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty is not absolutely strong enough to silence all the people in the world, there is really no way to send troops to North Korea.

So we can only loot North Korea as much as possible.

Treasure money is a chess move.

The Korean court, which was forced to use treasure money, did not dare to disobey the Ming Dynasty, and could only watch the gold and silver in North Korea flow into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Before taking Li Xuan, he got a lot of benefits, and now he canonizes the new king, and he takes it again, which is another expense, so that sooner or later, North Korea will be exploited by the Ming Dynasty into a poor egg.

At that time, I am afraid that I will cry and beg to be incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

It can also be regarded as a kind of soft expansion.

Yu Qian asked: "It is indeed feasible to let North Korea provide a month's grain and grass, in this case, why don't Your Highness take the opportunity to establish your authority and let North Korea send troops to cooperate and form a flank attack on the Jurchens, of course, this intention is not to value the individual forces of North Korea, mainly to establish the prestige of the young army, so that the Korean people can witness the invincibility of our Daming Heroic Division." ”

Zhu Jianji hummed, "Yu Shaobao's suggestion is good, and later, the Lone Association will issue an order to the Ministry of Rites, and ask the Ministry of Rites to notify the DPRK to send troops to cooperate with the young army to form a flanking posture against the Jurchens." ”

No matter what the combat strength of North Korea is, as long as it is a large army, it can put pressure on Rigunaha.

looked at Yu Qian and Chen Xun, "This matter, it's decided?" ”

The two saluted, "Your Highness." ”

Zhu Jianji suddenly remembered something, and said to Qian: "Yu Shaobao, although the army is on an expedition and the affairs of the military department are busy, Lone still hopes that you can go to the north with Lone to conquer the Jurchens this time, and see with your own eyes how my Ming Dynasty embarked on an invincible road." The affairs of the military department will be handed over to the two attendants on the left and right. ”

Yu Qian is old.

I don't know how long I can live.

Wang Wen didn't see the brilliance, I hope Yu Qian can see it, so that the Great Wall of Daming has no regrets in this life.

This can be regarded as a kind of respect for humility.
