"What did Lan Yu say?"

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry.

Zhu Yunwen replied: "Liangguo Gong reported that the governors Nie Wei, Xu Sima, and Qu Neng broke Yuelu Timur, and Lan Yu has captured Yuelu's father and son, surrendered to them, and sent people to Jingshi. ”

"Hmm."

Lan Yu's military ability, Zhu Yuanzhang has always trusted, and he is simply a genius general.

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the southern expedition to Yunnan, Lan Yu broke through Dali, and after the war, Lan Yu made great contributions, and his daughter married the King of Shu as the concubine.

In the twenty-first year of Hongwu, in the first battle of the Northern Expedition to the Desert Fishing Sea, Lan Yu led an army of 150,000 to take a wave of the Northern Yuan's nest and captured more than 70,000 enemy troops.

Feng Wolf Juxu became famous in a fight.

In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Lan Yu pacified the southwest and swept away the rebellion of many Xuanfu Divisions.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's westward expedition, Lan Yu had just arrived in the land of Xifanhandong, and he had already broken the enemy army, and the efficiency was outrageous.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, and waited for the following.

Zhu Yunwen continued: "Liangguo Gong Lanyu asked for additional guards. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said categorically: "Xu! ”

The land to the west, now that it has been laid, must be guarded.

Zhu Yunwen paused, and then said: "Liangguo Gong Lanyu asked the local people to be recruited as soldiers, and continued to turn to crusade against Duogan and Baiyi. ”

The inside of the Wuying Hall was immediately quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word.

Duogan and Baiyi are part of the minority settlements in Sichuan, Tibet, Yunnan and Myanmar.

Lan Yu is so confident, she wants to take down these places in waves.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "No, pass the decree to let the Lanyu class master return to the court!" ”

At this moment, Emperor Zhu's suspicions began to haunt him again.

As soon as the crown prince Zhu Biao died, Lan Yu lost his backer.

At this time, he asked for an order to continue the westward expedition, didn't he want to stand on his own feet in the southwest?

Such a young warrior is unruly, but it is safer to see in front of him.

If necessary, it is better to ......

In the middle of his thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "Do you have any ideas about completely eliminating the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept to the two imperial grandsons.

Beiyuan has always been a problem for the Ming Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 11 Northern Expeditions have been launched in 25 years.

Although in the twenty-first year of Hongwu, Lan Yu hit the fishing sea, took the Northern Yuan royal court, and destroyed the main force of the Northern Yuan, but they still had residual forces active.

Those people relied on the four seas as their home, kept running, kept running.

The vast grassland is difficult to exterminate.

Unless they kill them.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to do this.

There's no need to send someone to keep watch.

Mobei has a total of that little population, and the herdsmen are not fixed, and building an office building is purely lonely and a waste of resources.

It is Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest wish to completely destroy the Northern Yuan Dynasty and permanently stabilize the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

He has an obsession that must be completed in this life!

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is also worried that if he can't stand it, the monarch of future generations will face this problem.

How will they go about it?

Zhu Yuanzhang simply threw the question out.

As soon as the question came out, the two of them looked pensive.

Zhu Yunwen took the lead in answering, and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks that we can implement a tea and horse exchange market at the border, encourage Han and Mongolian intermarriage, dilute the estrangement, and carry out sinicization." ”

This is a question he had prepared before.

To be precise, it was Huang Zicheng who accurately bet on the topic!

Because of the intermarriage between Han and Mongolia, it is the national policy vigorously promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Practice has proven that it works!

In the past 20 years, a large number of Mongolian women have remained in the Central Plains, diluting the consciousness of supporting the Northern Yuan regime in exile.

The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, no women have children, the population has plummeted, and the threat will only get smaller and smaller.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and vetoed the proposal of the tea and horse exchange market.

"If Beiyuan gets iron tools and salt, it will only become more rampant."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Now they have been forced to become lost dogs, and they can't rob my Ming border." ”

"Now that we have the initiative, we must not give them a chance to breathe!"

The candle flame reflected Zhu Yuanzhang's vicissitudes of life and full of wisdom: "Now is not the time for mutual markets." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded slowly, feeling that it made a lot of sense.

Beiyuan seems to have been subjected to severe economic sanctions, and he can't even eat.

Without iron, they couldn't make weapons.

Without salt, their men and horses would be powerless.

Daming is doing business with them now, maybe they won't cause trouble for a while.

But their ambition to restore Dayuan is still there.

When they are full of food and drink, they will inevitably fight back!

So at this time, it is not the best opportunity for mutual markets.

When the generation of the Northern Yuan is dead, and the next generation is beaten by life, they will consider intermarriage.

This obviously takes a lot of time.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang should only want to completely eliminate the Northern Yuan militarily.

So it's better to analyze militarily.

"Tell me about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang set his eyes on Zhu Yunxi.

After a few points of deliberation, Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and said: "Sun Er thinks that if you want to completely eliminate the Northern Yuan, you should use multiple means at the same time. ”

Multiple means?

Why are you playing this house?

Zhu Yunwen obviously didn't believe it, and waited for a fool of himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't quite believe it, the problem that had plagued me for many years was as simple as you said.

"Tell me about it."

He glanced at Zhu Yunxi, as if to say: You kid had better say something dry, otherwise I won't beat you to cry dad and call your mother!

With his throat rolling, Zhu Yunxi calmed down and said, "First of all, it's better to defeat it militarily." ”

Look, you're going to make a fool of yourself!

Zhu Yunwen seized the opportunity and asked a fatal question: "The Mongolian cavalry comes and goes freely, how to completely defeat them?" ”

Although he didn't understand military affairs, he also heard that the Northern Yuan Dynasty was hit by the Ming Dynasty, and the tactics adopted in this way became more and more obscene and indestructive.

The Northern Yuan were mainly cavalry, and they ran away when they couldn't take advantage, constantly attacking back and forth, and the ghosts were not gone.

They deliberately attracted the Ming army to pursue, and then led the Ming army into the ambush they had set up to annihilate them.

The whole thing is how to fly kites and squat in the grass in the canyon.

Zhu Yunxi looked indifferent and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Are you talking about Genghis Khan's Raven Soldiers Scattering Star Array?" ”

“？”

Zhu Yunwen looked dazed, what kind of crow soldiers scattered the star array?

Unheard!

Looking at Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised: "You still know military formations?" ”

He had been fighting the Mongols for many years, so he was naturally no stranger to this tactic.

The Raven Soldier Star Array is a tactic developed by Genghis Khan, using the flexibility and speed of the cavalry to disperse the battle, coming like falling from the sky and going like lightning.

When the Mongol army swept the world in the west, it often used this tactic, causing the enemy to be embarrassed and gaining huge losses.

However, the Yuan people occupied the Central Plains and combined with agricultural civilization, and the Han army was the main battle, and no longer used the crow soldiers to scatter the star array.

Now they fled to the grassland, where they were violently beaten by the Ming army, and only then did they learn to be obscene and regain the tactics of their ancestors.

So much so that throughout the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols used this tactic to deal with the Ming army.

"The Yuan people's crow soldiers scatter the stars in the star formation, generally with two or three out of ten troops as the vanguard, destroying the strong and trapping the formation, three or five cavalry in a group, never clustering, in case of being surrounded."

Zhu Yunxi said again: "The enemy is divided and separated, the enemy is united, scattered and infested, extremely flexible, and can often defeat many enemy troops with fewer cavalry. ”

"Or if the number of troops is small, the suspicious soldiers will be deployed to fear the enemy, or the method of setting up an ambush will be used to feign defeat and leave, abandon the heavy gold and silver, and lure the enemy to chase the north into ambush, and often be able to completely annihilate the pursuers."

"The Yuan army is as small as a centurion, a thousand, and as large as tens of thousands of people, all of whom can skillfully use this tactic."

Zhu Yunxi talked eloquently.

And Zhu Yunwen doesn't understand military affairs, and he is in a state of confusion throughout the whole process.

In fact, the Ming army had a wealth of experience in fighting with the Northern Yuan cavalry, and there was no need for Zhu Yunxi to elaborate on it.

The reason why he mentioned these was just to pretend to be forced in front of Zhu Yunwen.

At the same time, he showed that he was professional enough to elevate his status in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Look at Lao Zhu's expression again.

The effect seems to have been achieved.

"Bastard, I can't see that you have something!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson happily: "Tell me about it, how to defeat them militarily?" ”
