"Three thousand, there can't be more, no matter how much the quality can't be guaranteed."

Chen Kan also stretched out three fingers.

It's just that the numbers spit out of his mouth made Zhu Di almost go berserk.

Three thousand a month, even if it takes a month to prepare for the army to start, three thousand is too little.

Cut nine tenths of the plan at once, and whoever comes can stand it.

Fortunately, the burning eyes of a group of nobles in the audience made the anger in Zhu Di's heart dissipate a little.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Di said lightly: "I want 10,000 firearms, this is my minimum requirement, 3,000 is too little, the southwest is high and densely forested, and too few firecrackers will not play a role." ”

Chen Kan shook his head: "Your Majesty, 10,000 pieces really can't be made, there is only one production line for the Ordnance Supervisor, even if the production line can be increased, there are not so many archers who know how to make firearms, even if the ministers lead the Ordnance Supervisor to work overtime, it will be up to the sky if they can make 5,000." ”

"Five thousand!"

Zhu Di's brows furrowed into buns, five thousand firecrackers could not play a decisive role at a critical time, after all, the two sides of Daming and Annan combined were large-scale legions of nearly 300,000 people.

Chen Kan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, in the minister's opinion, the effect that the firearm can play in the southwest rainforest is not so strong, the southwest mountains are high and the forest is densely bunkered, and my Ming firearm is not strong enough to penetrate the thick tree trunk, so the minister's suggestion is that instead of equipping the soldiers of the Southern Expedition with so many firearms, it is better to assemble a few more artillery." ”

Chen Kan's sudden suggestion made everyone present stunned.

Zhu Di's tightly knit brows stretched slightly: "But the cannon is extremely heavy, and it is not easy to transport the cannon to the southwest." ”

Chen Kan spread his hands: "Why do you want to go by land?" ”

Zhu Di was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Kan's words instantly aroused everyone's interest.

Chen Kan got up and walked to the side shelf, took the globe and put it on the table in front of Zhu Di.

After sorting out his thoughts, he pointed to the location marked on the globe and said: "Your Majesty, generals, please see, Annan is long and narrow, has a long coastline, and borders Yunnan and Guangxi of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Chen Kan's question was thrown, and everyone present was stunned.

Yes, who stipulated that the Ming could only launch a counterattack from Yunnan?

Zhu Neng hesitated: "What does Jinghaihou mean?" ”

Chen Kanti drew a line on the globe, which was the route from the East China Sea to Nanyang.

Putting down the pen, Chen Kan said: "Li Jili Chen soldiers on the Yunnan border, the wolf's ambition is obvious, and it is really unreasonable not to destroy Annan."

But if I send troops to fight in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the distance of the southwest land route, the miasma in the southern mountains and forests is like a moat.

I'm afraid that my Ming army will be reduced by two or three tenths before it enters the territory of Annam, so why don't we change our thinking? ”

The people present are all famous generals, so they naturally know that what Chen Kan said is true.

The biggest problem in the conquest of Annam was not the monkey-like soldiers of Annam, but the miasma in the swampy mud and rainforest.

It's just that most of their thinking is limited to land, even if there are sailors in the Ming Dynasty, most of the time what they do is to escort goods and maintain the stability of the big rivers, and few people will set their eyes on the sea.

And now that Chen Kan is so guided, many people suddenly notice the red line drawn by Chen Kan on the globe.

Zhu Neng muttered: "Li Jili Chen soldiers on the Yunnan border, its country will inevitably be empty, if my Ming 100,000 troops land from Annan itself, it will definitely be able to catch Li Jili off guard."

In the event of a domestic attack, Li Jili will inevitably return to the division for reinforcements, and when Li Jili returns to the division, Mu Sheng will be able to take advantage of the situation of the Yunnan army to pursue.

If Mu Sheng could drag Li Jili's army back to the division, he would have been sure to sweep the entire territory of Ping'an Nan in the shortest possible time, and at that time, under the attack of the two phases, the 200,000 troops under Li Jili would be just a turtle in the urn. ”

Zhu Neng's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear it clearly.

The eyes of all the generals lit up.

Sheng Yong took over the conversation: "It is okay to land from Guangxi, Li Jili Chen soldiers in Yunnan, let's go ashore from Guangxi, and swallow the 200,000 troops under Li Jili in a roundabout way, the backbone will be lost, and the country in Annan will inevitably fall to the wind." ”

Chen Kan drew a line, and the generals began to discuss it with great interest as if they had discovered a new continent.

Even Zhu Di couldn't help but prick up his ears.

After all, naval warfare has always been regarded as a war that cannot be put on the table by the famous generals of the Central Plains.

The main reason is that there are too few available means, and the small boat will be cool when it meets the big ship, and it is basically impossible to fight any turnaround battle, and there is no way to use the conspiracy and conspiracy, and there is no way to make these famous generals with excessive IQ have any sense of achievement, so everyone subconsciously ignores this kind of battle.

But now, everyone suddenly found out that the naval battle could still be fought like this, and they were suddenly full of interest.

Chen Kan's face was a little stiff.

Damn, you've snatched all of Lao Tzu's words, what did Lao Tzu say?

It's a pity that Chen Kan is too young and too shallow, so he doesn't dare to express his opinions even if he has them.

Of course, even if he is exposed, everyone will not pay attention to him.

The discussion among the generals was very up, and Chen Kan, the initiator, was completely thrown out of the clouds.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the generals and Zhu Di were finally satisfied, and finally remembered that there was still Chen Kan sitting on the side.

The generals subconsciously looked at Chen Kan, and almost laughed out loud.

I saw Chen Kan lying on the table sleeping soundly, with a well-proportioned snoring sound coming out of his mouth and nose, and there was crystal saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth, which had been stained with a large piece of water.

Seeing this, Zhu Di's face couldn't help but turn blue and white.

When they were discussing the conquest of Annan, and their son-in-law was actually sleeping, it was too much to ignore him, the emperor, and the famous generals of the empire in front of him.

Zhu Neng leaned into Chen Kan's ear, and the dantian puffed up all his strength and shouted: "The soul is back!" ”

"it!"

Chen Kan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly fell asleep, and he leaned away from Zhu Neng, his face full of vigilance, like a little girl who was about to be wheeled by a group of strong men.

Looking at Chen Kan with a frightened face, Zhu Neng suddenly pulled a teasing smile on his face.

"Young man should know that it is difficult to buy an inch of time, so he went to see Duke Zhou early in the morning, ignoring so many uncles and His Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

Chen Kan came back to his senses, raised his sleeve and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said, "What are you doing without sleeping in the morning?" ”

blurted out a sentence, and Zhu Di had a black line on his face.

Zhu Neng didn't expect Chen Kan to ask him such a rhetorical question, and he couldn't help but look contemplative.

After a while, he suddenly smiled: "In this way, it seems that it is more comfortable to sleep." ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Kan instantly showed the appearance of a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, and said happily: "Yes, Cheng Guogong also thinks it's a pity not to sleep in the morning?" ”

Zhu Neng nodded matter-of-factly: "It's a pity." ”

"Enough!"

Zhu Di's face was so black that he couldn't see it, his complexion was already black, and then he was so angry with Chen Kan, it was black and red.

Seeing that Zhu Di was angry, Chen Kan and Zhu Neng tacitly stopped the topic.

Zhu Di looked at the saliva on the desk with some disgust, stretched out his hand to summon a palace person, and asked him to directly change to a new desk, and then sat back on the dragon chair.

Then it took a few more minutes to adjust his emotions, and then he looked at Chen Kan and asked, "As you said, I have already discussed your proposal for the sea with a few Aiqing.

But now there is another problem, although there are many warships in the Ming Dynasty, it is still difficult to transport 100,000 people to Annan at one time, and the treasure ship built by Zheng He has not yet passed the test of wind and waves, what good way do you have? ”

Chen Kan slapped his head, and suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Who said that you want to transport 100,000 troops at one time?" ”

Chen Kan's expression changed, and he felt that a group of you discussed it for a long time, but you didn't get any results, right?

Are you kidding me?

Chen Kan covered his head, and suddenly had deep doubts about the IQ of the Ming monarchs.

Transporting 100,000 troops by ship, what kind of strange plan does this have to be devised by the brain-dead?

Zhu Di frowned: "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”

Chen Kan said with a painful face: "Your Majesty, the 100,000 army in your mouth, the real soldiers are only 30,000, you can just transport these 30,000 people directly, as for the people who transport logistics, what kind of people do you need if you take a boat?" ”

"Without the people, what do the soldiers eat and wear?"

Another idiot question.

Chen Kan patted his head: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are on a boat, on a big ship, in addition to the ship can transport soldiers, there is also a cargo hold, which can be used to transport food."

Moreover, there are many fish in the sea, and one big fish (whale) is enough for a soldier on a ship to eat for ten days and half a month.

What's more, this time we are fighting Annan and the birthplace of Zhancheng rice, is it true that Annam, a big country in South Asia, does not even have food to supply 30,000 troops? ”

Through Chen Kan's explanation, everyone finally came back to their senses.

looked at each other, and there was a trace of shame on their faces.

Seeing this, Chen Kan couldn't help but pout.

If it was a general under the command of Grandpa, he would not fail to consider these problems.

But thinking that these generals in front of him were all brought by Zhu Di from Beiping, who were used to fighting rich battles and were not good at water warfare, Chen Kan decided to forgive their ignorance.

Sighing, Chen Kan said weakly: "30,000 people are enough to sweep the entire territory of Annan, and the soldiers only need to carry twenty days of grain and grass with them."

Twenty days is enough for the soldiers to take a boat from Daming to Annam.

After the soldiers arrived in Annam, they did not have to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but only needed to quickly capture Thang Long City, the capital of Annam, and then they could use the grain and grass of Thang Long City to feed the war.

After capturing Thang Long City, scouts were sent to spread the rumor that the entire territory of Annam had fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible to the ears of Li Jili, who was sure to be in chaos.

At that time, let Xiping Marquis go to war, and it will be easy to break the army of Li Jili......"
