Now, the Li family has been destroyed, and the warlords of Liaoxi have not yet been formed due to the overhaul of the Guanningjin defense line.

The Liaodong Shi clan also died or fell to Houjin, or had lost their land, moved to a different place, and became a paper tiger, which was the time when Xiong Tingbi could exert his strengths.

In addition, the new military system prohibits the maintenance of private soldiers and prohibits family members from accompanying the army, which has eliminated the emergence of warlords to the greatest extent.

Therefore, Zhu You's proofreading put the ancestor back to Liaodong, and Kong Youde returned to the Dongjiang River, so there was not much to worry about.

Zhang Yu'er was busy putting on the robe and tying the imperial lord, and finally took two steps back, looked carefully, and smiled with satisfaction.

Zhu Youxiao also smiled back with Hexi, and asked casually: "Why has Xiaobai been sleeping all the time in the past two days, it seems that it is not the same as before!" ”

Zhang Yuer also felt strange, and glanced at the white lady who was lying lazily in the nest, but she couldn't say what the problem was.

"Forget it." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "It's probably because the weather is warm and lazy!" After speaking, he walked over to take a closer look at Xiaobai.

Seeing him approaching, Xiao Bai immediately became vigilant, his calves were erect, and his eyes were staring at Zhu Youxiao, looking ready to escape from the clutches of the devil at any time.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiaobai's sparkling appearance with different pupils, and knew that it was okay, but he was very unhappy with its precautionary appearance.

Zhang Yu'er hurriedly went over, picked up the white lady, and smiled at the emperor: "The white lady is fine, the emperor can rest assured to go to the Wuying Palace!" ”

Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

In the side hall of Wuying Palace, all the generals have gathered together, and they are talking and arguing around the big sand table in the hall.

The sand table has been expanded a lot, and the important towns of the Nine Sides, as well as the various parts of the grassland outside the Saiwai, have been marked in as much detail as possible.

Moreover, the internal officials have already told them that with the permission of the Holy Lord, they can make noise, and they can look through the information in the hall, and they don't need to be too formal.

Only by seeing such an intuitive big sand table can the generals know better how serious the side of the Ming Dynasty is.

Not to mention that the Mongol tribes are very sluggish, it is a temporary peace bought with money and materials, that is, through the city, and when the year is bad, there are still tribes to loot.

Since the end of Wanli, the imperial court has issued a reward of silver to the Mongolian tribes outside the border of Xuanfu every year, and it was only a few thousand taels at the beginning.

When the Jiannu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and went to war, the Mongol tribes became the target of the two sides. The amount of silver that the Mongol tribes demanded from the Ming Dynasty soared, and now it has reached more than 100,000 taels.

These materials are on the bookshelf next to the sand table, as well as the annual food and salary required by the border towns, as well as the cost of transporting these food and salary by the imperial court.

What is this, a shame for a real military man!

Eating the grain transferred by the state from all over the country, and taking the military salary issued by the imperial court, but he can't be insulted to the outside world, and he has to spend money to buy peace. Where is the face of the imperial court? What is the point of raising troops in the country?

In addition to training non-commissioned officers, this first batch of martial arts officers were also required by Zhu Youxiao in accordance with the arrangement of the Ministry of War, and they often discussed and studied together, and they were all familiar with each other.

Therefore, looking at the marks of the situation between friend and foe on the sand table, reading these internal materials, debates and even quarrels are inevitable.

"The root knot is in Jiannu, if it weren't for the erosion of Liaodong, how would the western captives dare to gain an inch?"

"If the soldiers in the border towns are strong and strong, how dare the Xiyu make a mistake?"

"! If it weren't for the fear that the Western Captives would fall to Jiannu, how could they agree to their excessive demands? ”

"Alas, as soldiers, we can't suppress the rebellion and recover the lost territory, and I'm really ashamed."

"I feel at ease when I eat food and get paid, but when I fight for the country, I have been defeated repeatedly, this face is really embarrassing."

Zhang Pan raised his head and made eye contact with Cao Wenzhao, a guerrilla in Liaodong Town.

The remarks of these two people were surprisingly consistent, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, giving birth to a sense of heroic pity.

"When the recruitment and training of Dongjiang Town is completed, attacking Jiannu from the sea will make them lose sight of one or the other, and they will be exhausted." Kong Youde pointed on the sand table, "Look, such a vast coastline, where can Jiannu be able to defend it?" ”

Mao Chenglu thought so, his fingers came out of Phi Dao, went north along the Yalu River, and said happily: "If you go up the river and copy the rear of Jiannu, it can also make it impossible to prevent it." ”

Zhang Pan smiled and chwed, but his eyes were cast on southern Liaoning, Lushun, Jinzhou, and Nanguan...... That was a strategic vision he had for a long time.

"Lord Sun of the Ministry of War has arrived." The voice of the inner official came from outside the hall, and the people in the hall hurriedly put away their clothes and bowed down to greet them.

Sun Chengzong stepped into the main hall, although he was old, he was in good spirits.

"The last general will meet Master Sun." The generals bowed and saluted and greeted the officials.

"No courtesy." Sun Chengzong raised his hand with a smile, swept his gaze, and nodded with satisfaction.

Sitting down in the center seat, Sun Chengzong stretched out his hand to signal the generals to sit down, smiling with his thick beard.

After the generals sat down, Sun Chengzong coughed lightly and said, "The situation on this sand table, as well as the documents, must have read it, right?" ”

Hearing the generals' response, Sun Chengzong's face became solemn, and he said slowly: "Presumably, you didn't have too much serious sense of urgency before, but after understanding, you know that the state affairs are difficult and the court is difficult. ”

"The Son of Heaven is a saint, attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, and painstakingly plans to ensure that the army is strong and profitable, and there is no shortage of food and salary. You are the elite of the army, Your Majesty looks forward to Yin, and I hope that you and others will revitalize the decline in the army, and the soldiers will use their lives, and the soldiers and civilians will live in peace......"

"After you have returned to your town, you should train your soldiers according to the new law. A few months later, there should be thousands of elites in each town; A year later, they are all warriors......"

"In the battle against the Eastern Prisoners, the strongest soldiers are one of them, and the most important thing is courage; If you have the courage, you dare to fight, and if you don't have the courage, you will be strong and strong, and the soldiers will become decorations......"

"For more than ten years, the slave atmosphere has been blazing, Liaodong has been lost, the saints are worried, and the soldiers and people are afraid. However, this time of crisis is an opportunity for you to practice your deeds, be generous, and make meritorious contributions. ”

Sun Chengzong stood up, glanced at the generals aggressively, and arched his hand, "You can Ya Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's ambitions, build a war of suppression, sweep the merits, fight to seal the shadow of the wife, and leave a name in history?" ”

"The last general should be loyal to the country."

"The last general will defend the dangerous frontier and die on the battlefield."

"The last general will not spare this life, and he will be proud of the horse leather shroud."

…………

All the generals stood up and bowed, all impassioned, although there were no flowery words in their words, but they also showed the spirit of martial artists.

Sun Chengzong smiled, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "You are not afraid of life and death, and you are generous, how can the saint be stingy with the reward of the prince?" ”

As he spoke, he beckoned the generals to gather around the sand table, point out the situation, and discuss the joint attack of battle and defense.

When Zhu Youxiao came to the Wuying Palace, he was directly promoted to the main hall and announced that the public would meet him.

"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy!" After Shi Li's greeting, Zhu Youxiao smiled and stretched out his hand to signal the generals to take their seats.
