"Nephew Jing Changxian, Your Majesty asked me to train the army, and also asked me to be the pioneer of the Northern Expedition...... I, I can finally learn from my father and cross the desert. ”

Xu Huizu was in tears, holding Xu Jingchang's wrist with one hand and the wine glass with the other, pouring liquor into his throat.

This is a deep and introverted person, and he will not show his feelings easily, especially in front of his juniors.

There was no way, so I had to cover my face with wine and chat with Xu Jingchang.

What can Xu Jingchang say, he can only accompany the uncle to drink, and then casually say: "Uncle, are you sure?"

"Nope!" Xu Huizu replied simply.

Xu Jingchang was stunned, is it so direct?

Xu Huizu took another sip of wine, and then said to Xu Jingchang: "You know uncle, I learned the art of war with Emperor Taizu and my father in my early years, and I also trained to suppress bandits several times, but I dealt with bandits and bandits...... Then he was defeated by the biggest bandit leader. When it comes to the ability to lead troops, I am far inferior to His Majesty's. ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, "I can see this." ”

Xu Huizu said again: "My ability to train soldiers is only upright, and I am too far behind to deal with the Mongolian tribes." Especially cavalry attacks, I can't do it. You know what I mean, right? ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "I understand, you are from a professional class, you are a step-by-step teacher, a dignified teacher, and you are good at fighting in a stupid battle." No one can fight hard, and when you need to change the right to plan, you can't do it, right? ”

Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, and nodded helplessly, "That's right, that's what I meant." ”

"Then what can you do if you have nothing to do?"

Xu Huizu raised his voice suddenly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your grandfather lost once back then, and I want to make up for his old man." ”

Xu Jingchang was unconvinced: "Then you can't mess around!" You're obviously not sure, but you insist on being strong, what if you get involved in the overall situation? ”

Xu Huizu looked at Xu Jingchang and suddenly smiled, "I'm not smart enough, but someone in our family is stronger than me!" ”

"Who?"

Xu Jingchang let out a low snort, and then realized something, he stretched out his finger and pointed to his nose, "It can't be me, right?" ”

Xu Huizu slapped the table and laughed: "Smart, our uncle and nephew join forces, and we are invincible!" ”

Xu Jingchang also slapped the table, "What are you kidding?" Am I the one who can lead the troops? ”

Xu Huizu snorted: "Why not? First of all, your surname is Xu, and you are a member of the Xu family! ”

It turns out that the people of the Xu family have their own talents?

"Secondly, you are the Duke of Dingguo, the hereditary Duke of the Kingdom, how can anyone who can't lead troops?"

Xu Huizu smiled and said: "You kid has to learn if you don't learn, you can't hide if you don't lead the troops, and you don't want to be looked down upon by the courtiers, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang frowned, who dares to look down on me?

I'll send him to prison!

As for the matter of leading the troops, Xu Jingchang didn't want to get involved at all...... It's not that he's greedy for life and afraid of death, the problem is that he's really not good at this, Xu Jingchang also tried to train Jinyiwei.

But he found himself with nothing more than being able to teach a little queue.

If it is a bandit fight, he can still explore his experience and slowly improve.

But if it comes up with tens of thousands of cavalry, they will go on an expedition to the desert and wipe out their old enemies for many years...... I'm sorry, he's not Huo Quai, he really doesn't have that ability.

It's just that this time Xu Huizu pinned his hopes on him, thinking that with his cleverness, he could make up for the shortcomings, and then fight a good fight, this idea is afraid that it will be in vain.

If it doesn't work, it's not good, it's useless to be strong!

Xu Jingchang thought about it again and again, and suddenly said, "Uncle, how many Mongolians do you have?" ”

Xu Huizu was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, it's just how many Mongolian cavalry can we have under our command?"

Xu Huizu thought about it, in fact, the number of Mongolian soldiers in Daming was really a lot. When Zhu Yuanzhang fought the world, he captured many Mongols.

Don't think that the Great Yuan Dynasty is a Mongol, all Mongols are human beings!

Not at all like that, a considerable number of low-level Mongols joined the Ming army...... Lao Zhu also issued a special decree to treat these attached Mongols equally.

Later, Zhu Di guarded Beiping, and there were many Mongolians under his command, needless to say, there were three guards composed of special Mongolians.

It's just that there is a question now, Xu Huizu hesitated: "You plan to use this Mongol to deal with the Mongols?" ”

Xu Jingchang shook his head, "How can you say that!" Our command is dominated by Tatars, and we have to deal with Warat! ”

Xu Huizu smiled awkwardly, "You're using differentiation and disintegration, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Uncle, what I mean, we can buy cavalry...... Whoever is willing to fight for us can be granted pasture. ”

"Give them pasture? But we don't! ”

"If you knock it down, you will have it!"

Xu Huizu was speechless, he had to slow down.

It is absolutely correct to gather more of the Mongols and let them charge ahead.

Xu Huizu knew that Huo Qubing was able to run rampant in the desert at the beginning, and every time he went out in battle, it was a brilliant result, and a very important reason was that Huo Qubing could collect the Huns and let them act as guides.

Otherwise, in the vast grassland, you will plunge into it and find no way out. Then it's not the champion Hou, but the lost Hou.

So this step is right.

If you want to win over the Mongols, you have to give them a reward.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and it is also appropriate to give pasture.

Not to mention that it hasn't arrived yet.

"You do this, what do you think these people will do if they rebel against Da Ming in the future?"

"It's very easy to do, the key is to divide them carefully enough, and divide them into hundreds or thousands of pastures, so that they are kings everywhere, rich and glorious. Isn't that simple! ”

Xu Huizu thought about it seriously, and suddenly he smiled, "I don't understand this, you deal with the Jurchen tribes, I see that you try to preserve it, and you don't want to break up." How did they get to the Mongol tribes, they were going to be scattered. What is the rationale for this? ”

"This is called adapting measures to local conditions and seeking truth from facts." Xu Jingchang said: "The Jurchens are still in the fishing and hunting stage, their tribes are scattered, and there is no core identity. At this time, if you fight, it may lead to the unity of all departments, so that they can really unite together, and then it will be troublesome. Therefore, we need to trade with them on an equal footing, do business well, subtly, continue to influence, and win people's hearts. Unconsciously, the Jurchen tribes were brought together. ”

Xu Huizu nodded, "That makes sense, what about the Mongols?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The Mongols are different, they have already completed the unification, and they have also established the Great Yuan Dynasty, even if we are driven to the grassland, their civilization is much higher than that of the Jurchens, and there is also the Golden Family." The Mongols are trying to unify the steppe and then oppose us. Therefore, for the Mongols, we need to constantly divide and disintegrate, buy and win over. Sometimes it's better to use silver than a knife. Of course, we still need to have a knife, and when we need to shine a sword, we must be able to take it, otherwise it will become a joke. ”

Xu Huizu frowned, thought about it again and again, and finally nodded with a smile, sighing very much, "You kid has too many tricks, although you may not be able to fight with soldiers, but against you, it may not end well." ”

Xu Huizu immediately nodded, "Okay, this time I have a plan in my heart." ”

After drinking this meal, Xu Huizu immediately took action, he really didn't have much time.

In just three months, it is necessary to prepare the men and horses, and to ensure that the victory is guaranteed, and the difficulty can be imagined.

However, Xu Huizu has a good way to be taught by his nephew, and he has a few more chances of winning in his heart.

He first recruited Mongolian cavalry in the army, proficient in horsemanship, and those with excellent bow and horse martial arts were preferred.

Those who can be familiar with the road and can find the grassland tribe will be promoted to the next level immediately.

Enjoy double military salaries, according to the size of the merit, awarded pasture.

After this order was announced, Xu Huizu was immediately left with a trouble, how could he select those who were really capable from the massive number of personnel, so as to avoid being deceived by others.

Xu Huizu was so busy that he had no time to rest, and he worked day and night, which can be said to have worked hard...... After all, this use of troops is too important for him.

Xu Huizu wants to restore the reputation of the Xu family and wash away his father's regrets, everything is in this time.

As the personnel dispersed, Xu Huizu gradually got a lot of news.

One of the most important ones, Xu Huizu was very surprised.

He hurriedly found Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, according to secret reports, it is said that the Tatar Khan Ghost Lichi is not a descendant of the Golden Family. Most likely the Warats. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately became interested, if this is the case, maybe this is a godsend.

He hurriedly called Xu Jingchang over.

In the face of this news, Xu Jingchang was very calm, because he had already worked hard to study it before, and the history of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty was a bad book.

Mainly from the Central Plains, from a huge empire, turned back into a tribe, and this tribe was also divided into two parts, the east and the west.

It's hard to describe the complexity of this.

For example, Arutai, who has been mentioned repeatedly, is now the Taibao of the Tatar Ministry, commanding the military power and has huge power.

But this Arutai came from the Persian side, and according to reason, it belongs to the Semu people, not the Mongols.

This is also the reason why he could not establish himself as the Great Khan.

And the ghost power red khan is supported by Arutai, and it is also very doubtful whether this person is of golden family blood.

According to the secret report, he may be Kyrgyz, a puppet pushed by Arutai.

"So to say that the Arutai dictatorship, the ghost is an impostor, the Tatars are scattered, and it is time to send troops." Zhu Di only felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and no one could stop him this time.

Xu Jingchang thought for a while, he also agreed to send troops, but not to send troops to fight against the Tatars.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should help the Tartars to resist the invasion of the Varats."

"Defend against Warat? Do you mean that Varat is going to attack the Tatars? Any news? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It depends on whether Your Majesty needs it." ”

Zhu Di frowned, "You say it directly!" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The minister suggested that the news be spread to Wara immediately...... Then we warmly invited the ghost force Chi Khan and Arutai Taibao to come over to compete and exchange, and the two sides would trade and repair and make a fortune together. ”

Only then did Zhu Di glance at Xu Huizu, "How is your nephew?" ”

Xu Huizu said in a low voice: "Chen Ping who is comparable to Han Gaozu!" ”
