Zhang Yifan listened, nodded, and said kindly: "Father, the son understands this truth." ”

Hearing that he was so persuaded, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised. Originally, he thought that this son-in-law would think that he was alarmist!

He was thinking about it, but he heard Zhang Yifan's words turn around, and said: "Erchen asks a question, under the current situation, how many Mengyuan troops will take the initiative to attack 10,000 court officers and soldiers, not cavalry?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this, he realized that his son-in-law really didn't understand the reason, but he didn't have a seizure, he just thought about it and replied: "If it's just infantry, Mengyuan cavalry doesn't need much, and with the same strength to use harassment tactics to contain it, it will exhaust the money and food of the infantry army and defeat it!" ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he replied again: "Then if there are reinforcements for these 10,000 troops, and only give the Mengyuan army two days, how many troops will they want to swallow up these 10,000 imperial court officers?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened and replied without hesitation: "The besieged infantry army is a trapped beast, and the combat strength should also be tested clearly, rather than just based on the number of people." In addition, the number of reinforcements, how to rescue, whether they are in a hurry, whether they are changed to encirclement points to send reinforcements, whether they can defeat the reinforcements, and then slowly eat the infantry army, and so on, all depend on the situation on the battlefield! ”

Zhang Yifan: "......"

I feel that it is very difficult to do Q&A with military experts like Zhu Yuanzhang.

Thinking so, he changed his way of saying it: "Then 10,000 elite imperial court elites and 50,000 elite imperial elite reinforcements are all cavalry, and they can rush to the battlefield in two days." In this case, how many troops does Meng Yuan have in his hands to wipe out 10,000 elites of the imperial court? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang probably wanted Zhang Yifan to know what the battlefield was like, so after hearing his question again, he was not impatient, and still replied without thinking: "There is only one and a half days, if you want to eat the 10,000 elite infantry of the imperial court, you need at least 50,000 people, and it is even possible to give up." Because it is difficult for the cavalry to fight against the infantry army in formation, the advantage of the cavalry is mobility. And the 10,000 infantry army is the elite, and there will not be many flaws for the cavalry to seize in the short term. ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head, feeling that if he was really on the battlefield, facing an enemy like Zhu Yuanzhang, then this battle would be difficult to fight.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he had no choice but to answer truthfully: "My idea is to form a car battalion to attract the Mengyuan army to besiege, drag the Mengyuan army, and finally the reinforcements arrive to destroy the Mengyuan army!" ”

Speaking of this, he quickly added: "The meaning of the chariot camp is to create an army composed of all chariots, and to create a kind of side carriage, which can be connected to each other to form a fence to resist the cavalry charge. And on the car you can place artillery, grain, and so on. The imperial court officers and troops shrank inside the chariot camp, so that they could effectively resist the Mengyuan cavalry, and they could hold out until reinforcements arrived more than ordinary infantry troops. ”

Hearing what he said at the end, several people in the Wuying Hall couldn't help but light up. Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "What kind of car camp, and what is this partial van?" ”

The car battalion was a product of the middle and late Ming Dynasty that came out to deal with the Mongolian cavalry, and it was formed when Qi Jiguang was transferred to the north to deal with the Mongolian cavalry, and there was an official establishment description. Later, when Sun Chengzong served as the governor of Jiliao, he also built a car camp.

However, there are not many examples of battles recorded in the history books, that is, the bloody battle of the Hunhe River is more famous. The elite of the Jianyu led by the wild boar skin, and the outnumbered were outnumbered, but they could not break the car battalion, and in the end, the Zhejiang soldiers ran out of gunpowder projectiles, and then defeated the Zhejiang soldiers by virtue of their numerical superiority.

This is still a cavalry dismount and foot battle, and the cavalry cannot charge.

Zhu Yuanzhang just heard the advantages of this car battalion, so he immediately asked.

Zhang Yifan explained to his father-in-law according to the situation of the car camp compiled by Qi Jiguang.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, turned his head to look at Deng Yu and Li Wenzhong and said: "This kind of car camp, used to escort the army's grain and grass materials, is good!" ”

The food and grass of the army is the lifeblood of the whole army, and generally speaking, it must be heavily protected. But if there is this battalion of vehicles to transport it, because its defense is strong enough, it can reduce some of the force protection and use the force to engage the enemy.

When Deng Yu heard this, he also nodded, and said approvingly: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the defense of this kind of car battalion is good. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Yifan, and then said: "The meaning of the big horse is that he wants to use this kind of car battalion to attract several times the Mengyuan army to attack, and then use reinforcements to kill him?" If this is the case, Commander Meng Yuan must be given a reason to eat the Che Battalion! ”

After a pause, Deng Yue found that Zhang Yifan seemed to be a little incomprehensible, so he explained: "For example, the car camp occupies the main traffic route, and it is very disadvantageous for Meng Yuan not to destroy this car camp. For another example, there are important people in the car camp, which Meng Yuan must get rid of quickly. For example, the Che Battalion protects the army's grain and grass, and Meng Yuan can cut off the army's food and grass supply if he destroys the Che Battalion, etc. In this way, we can fight the battle that the big horse wants, and use the defensive power of the car battalion to hit the Mengyuan army hard! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but suddenly realize and admire.

The purpose of his previous example to Zhu Yuanzhang was to ignore the necessity of why Meng Yuan wanted to attack the Che battalion. I just think that if 10,000 troops are wiped out by Meng Yuan, how many troops will they have to destroy. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has actually already answered why it is necessary to eliminate 10,000 imperial court officers and soldiers, there must be a sufficient reason for this, just like the kind introduced by Deng Yu.

Otherwise, Meng Yuan is not a fool, seeing the defensive front formed by the partial vans, he must know that it is not so easy to fight. Why do thousands of people die to gnaw? You must know that even with a casualty ratio of one to two, Meng Yuan can't afford to lose.

On the steppe, how many people can there be!

I wanted to pretend to be a force, but I didn't!

He was regretting, but King Yan on the side was very happy, and immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, the son asks Yifan to go north together, with his ideas, he can recover Liaodong as soon as possible and defeat Meng Yuan!" ”

No, it's just chatting here, and there's a car camp! I don't know what Zhang Yifan can still do after he arrives in the north.

When Li Shanchang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, King Yan's proposal was good, so without waiting for Zhang Yifan to speak, he immediately played: "Your Majesty, the war in the north has dragged on for a long time, and it does affect the livelihood of the people in the north. If the enemy in the north can be solved as soon as possible, it will be a blessing for tens of millions of people! ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he hurriedly played: "Father, the son still has to take care of Jing Jing and the child, and he can't leave!" ”

The son is only a full moon, and the fourth child wants to pull himself to run north, but his brain is kicked by a donkey? I don't like to fight, I just want to farm!

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, but before he could answer, Li Shanchang immediately looked at Zhang Yifan and said righteously: "Dare to ask the big horse, who was the one who was talking to Tusi and the vassal country just now?" Soldiers, treacherous ways, with a dignified and upright law, without a fight and surrender to the army side is the best policy. But who is it, with his words and tricks? Who said that those who dare to offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away? In this way, when things come to an end, but under the pretext of women and children, they don't even dare to go to the north? ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, his face immediately turned red, this is saying that he just knows how to talk about cannons, and he really wants to use a knife to rob but he doesn't dare!

When he was about to argue, Zhu Di had already taken the first step to speak: "Yifan, you are not good at this, you are afraid of military affairs, if I ask you to go to the barracks, you will not go." In this way, no matter how nice you speak, will anyone listen to you? Jing Jing's side, it's already past the confinement, and it's basically fine. You can let your sister-in-law take care of it, and it will definitely be fine. Now that the north needs you, I also need you, so don't push it! ”

Zhang Yifan: "......"

This fourth, you really know how to fight and fight!

When Li Shanchang saw that King Yan supported him, he was immediately overjoyed, and then continued: "The family and the country are all over the world, and there is a country first and then a family. I am old, otherwise as long as His Majesty decrees, even if the sword and the sea of fire will not resign, defeat the strong enemy as soon as possible, and let millions of soldiers return to the field and reunite their families. Big horse, you are still young, and you are the first genius of my Ming Dynasty, such an important matter, how can you not resign because of your small family, and live up to the grace of God? ”

Wei Guogong and Cao Guogong listened, although they did not speak, but from their expressions, it could be seen that they were a little disappointed in the big horse.

If Zhang Yifan is not assertive in military affairs and is just a civilian official, they may not have any requirements, nor will they have the current expectations; However, Zhang Yifan also talked eloquently about military affairs, tough on the outside world, and also talked about their hearts. So, they naturally had expectations for Zhang Yifan. Unexpectedly, when the matter came, Zhang Yifan was cowardly, at least in their opinion, Zhang Yifan was cowardly, using his wife and children as an excuse, so the disappointment naturally came.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang knows that his son-in-law's attitude towards his daughter-in-law is far from being comparable to other people's attitudes towards their daughter-in-law. Just when Jingjing sounded the Dengwen drum, no one else could do it in Zhang Yifan's situation.

After getting married, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw it in his eyes. Including but not limited to conjuring up all kinds of long stories, just because Jing Jing likes to watch them, and even raised people and named them Popular Literature Starting Point Society, which makes Jing Jing happy.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and said: "I believe that Yifan is not what you think. In this way, King Yan will be in Beiping, and Taishi will also go first, and assist King Yan with Wei Guogong, at least you can build that car camp first, and see how to train soldiers. How about Yifan's side, accompany Jing Jing for another month or two, and then rush to Beiping to replace Taishi? ”

Although he seemed to be discussing, his tone was non-negotiable, so it was arranged.

Li Shanchang didn't expect that he had spent so much time, so he ended up telling himself to go to Beiping.

The previous said it was also impassioned, saying that as long as His Majesty gave an order, he would be willing to go to the soup. Now that Emperor Hongwu has really made an order, if he refuses to resign, he will be slapped in the face.

But fortunately, it's just a month or two, and it's a trip from south to north, and it's tiring. Forget it, I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, if I resign, the big colt will definitely follow suit.

With a plan in his heart, he immediately replied, his voice was very loud, and he also said impassionedly: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

When Zhang Yifan saw it, he knew that he couldn't excuse himself. In fact, he is not really afraid of military affairs, as he just said, it's just that his wife just gave birth to a child, so he let him go on a business trip, which is a little unkind.

But now, the matter has come to this, and he can only reply: "The son obeys the order!" ”

At this time, Zhang Yifan understood that in the future, either he should not be blindly forced in the military, or if he really wanted to be blind, he should not hide from the military. If you want to farm safely and steadily, you must defeat the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty!

Okay, now that you have this opportunity, let's see if there's a way to get the north out of nowhere!

When Zhu Di heard that Zhang Yifan agreed, he was immediately very happy, and immediately said happily: "Yifan, if the two of us join forces again, it will definitely shock everyone, right?" ”

The first time the two joined forces, it was during the competition, and Jinghaihou was defeated, thus indirectly defeating Lan Yu; The second time they joined forces, although they were not really joined forces, but Zhu Di helped Zhang Yifan, that is, he took the pirates in Guangdong and arrested Yongjiahou by the way.

Now, it is the third time to join forces, no matter whether Zhang Yifan is looking forward to it or not, Zhu Di is looking forward to it anyway, so he hopes to join forces with Zhang Yifan, do a big deal, and blind everyone's eyes again!

Looking at Zhu Di's excited appearance, Zhang Yifan was a little speechless.

He can feel that Zhu Yuanzhang is the kind of scheming old Jiang, and Zhu Di is a newborn calf, father and son, at least at this time, they are completely two extremes.

The matter has come to this point, as far as Zhang Yifan is concerned, of course, he also hopes to do a big deal, and after thinking about it, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, Liaodong has a long coastline, and the sailors are mobile, so they have a great advantage. In addition, Erchen is more familiar with Lan Yu and knows his ability to lead troops, can he also send him north? ”

Now that you have made up your mind that you will go to the north to do something big, you will naturally need resources.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, nodded, did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "Quasi-play!" ”

Zhu Di has already mentioned the matter of the water master, and if his son-in-law asks for it again, the reason is enough, and he has no reason not to give it.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also has his own ideas.

Among all his sons, at least from the current point of view, it is the fourth Zhu Di who is the most capable of fighting. If the fourth child can really fight a few beautiful battles, it can really deter other founding heroes, and he doesn't dare to think about the old Zhu family.

From this point of view, there is no reason why he should not allocate good resources to Zhu Di in order to improve the victory rate of Zhu Di's troops in battle.

However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, it is more about Wu, and Xu Da is in charge of Beiping; Wen, Li Shanchang will also rush to the north; These two people were originally his right-hand men in the world, and now they are sent to Zhu Di, who are stronger than Lan Yu and anything.

However, since you still want blue jade, of course you will give it too.

Even after the end of this imperial meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to equip Zhu Di with elite soldiers.

Zhang Yifan's butterfly wings flapped, and finally began to fully affect the war in the north.
