Li Wei didn't force it, put aside Lu Tang's affairs, and recruited those craftsmen who participated in the production of the Flying Thunder Cannon, and explained to them that he wanted to take them on the expedition.

However, Li Wei also did not force them, but let them choose by themselves, of course, this matter was not done in vain, not only did they have money and food, but in case of an accident, they were also compensated like soldiers, and Li Wei generously gave double.

Among these craftsmen, there are many young and strong people with great ambitions, even if they are not for the so-called great ambitions, for the money and food promised by Li Wei, it is worth it!

In the end, one hundred and ten craftsmen agreed to fight with Li Wei, and Li Wei formed a team of them and brought them with them when they were ready to go on the expedition.

A month passed quickly, Li Wei was waiting for the day of the expedition, and Mu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang were also discussing the strategic deployment.

"Mu Ying, let's transfer 30,000 troops from Shaanxi for you, and when you leave, you will bring 10,000 elite cavalry, and when you arrive at Helin, you will directly surround us in four ways and wipe him out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his finger on the map and said fiercely, in the battle with Lin Tun, it is the Northern Yuan Guogong who is detached from the fire, and the soldiers and horses are not more than 10,000 people, with the current combat strength of the Ming army, they can defeat these remnants of the defeated generals one-on-one!

But these guys can't beat and run, they run quite fast, or they don't send some troops to surround him, and these guys will rob around in another place.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will live up to their expectations and annihilate them all here!"

This expedition is not a big battle, Mu Ying has been fighting in the south and north for so many years, and he is full of confidence in this battle.

"By the way, how is the training of that dog's god machine camp?"

Due to the revelation of the itchy thing, Li Wei was demoted from a stinky boy to a dog again.

Mentioning this, Mu Ying patted her ass with some admiration and said: "Or you still have to say that Your Majesty is wise, this Li Wei is indeed outstanding, at first the minister was quite angry when he saw him make the army look like that, but I didn't expect that after he later took out those military horns, bayonets and other things, the whole army immediately changed its appearance, after this month's training, the current Shenji Battalion has a lot of combat power!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly, he knew all the things that Li Weicheng had, but he felt that these were not all, there must be something hidden in this dog thing.

In fact, it is true that Li Wei did not take out some good things, such as the telescope that he made together by the way when he made a sextant for Wang Jinghong, a little dezi (a small telescope is needed for a sextant), the flying thunder cannon was not officially handed over to the military camp for use, and some carriages he modified, and so on.

He also has a hint of fantasy, what if Lao Zhu is actually not willing to let him fight, but just scares him? If he performs too well, Lao Zhu will definitely change his mind?

Now he and Lao Zhu, the old and the young, can be described as rare friends who have forgotten their years, and they know each other very well, one is full of tricks for laziness, and the other is unscrupulous for squeezing.

Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed a little hesitant at this time, the importance of Li Wei is self-evident, although he has squeezed a lot of things out of this kid, but these are definitely not all, now he wants to throw this dog thing into the oil press on the battlefield and squeeze it hard, but he is afraid that he will be squeezed to death accidentally if he is too squeezed.

But if you can't squeeze it to death, but instead force out this kid's ability to lead the army to fight, then you will make a lot of money!

"If we give him to you, can you promise to bring him back completely?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and then asked Mu Ying.

Mu Ying smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is still very sure about this battle, not to mention that it is better to fight more and fight less to ensure the safety of this Lord Li." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and thought it was too, why don't you let this kid try?

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and said solemnly to Mu Ying: "Then we will hand him over to you, you must bring us back intact." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it'll be fine." Mu Ying patted her chest and reassured.

However, Lao Zhu was still not at ease, and emphasized again: "This person is very important, there must be no mistakes, let's say something unpleasant, even if he dies, he can't let anything happen!" ”

"Huh? This ......"

Mu Ying was inexplicably surprised when she heard this, and she was a little dumbfounded, this, as for it?

He knew that His Majesty valued this person very much, but he didn't expect it to be valued to such an extent.

Even if he dies, he must ensure the safety of this person, so what is the identity of this person? Even if my own son doesn't see His Majesty like this!

"Okay, with your guarantee, we can rest assured!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Mu Ying's shoulder and said.

"Uh......"

Mu Ying squeezed out a smile with bitterness on her face, and her heart was full of regret, you said it earlier, I would have known that this product was such a hot potato, so I wouldn't have patted this chest!

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give him a chance to regret it, and directly finalized the matter.

In the Shenji Battalion, Li Wei summoned all the main generals, and he was about to set out for the battle, and he had to make arrangements.

In the camp tent, there are five Qianhu officials, cavalry Qianhu Zuowei, the original archers are now logistics + artillery Qianhu Du Ziyuan, infantry Qianhu Jianglong, Sun Lei, and Song Zhong.

Originally, Song Zhong was the deputy Qianhu, and the original Qianhu was Yang Dayong, but Li Wei was more familiar with Song Zhong, so he was promoted to the positive, and Yang Dayong became the deputy, and the reason given by Li Wei was: The name is too long to remember.

The logistics Du Ziren trembled when he learned about it, and the next day he removed the word "Zi" from his name, and now he is renamed Du Yuan.

Yang Dayong also wanted to remove the big characters, but he also understood that Song Zhong had a good relationship with this Admiral, and even if he removed the big characters, it would be impossible for him to get them back.

In addition to these thousand households, there are also four deputy thousand households, and as for the hundred households, they are even more of a large group, anyway, Li Wei has not remembered all the names of these people until now.

In addition, he also brought Abu and selected dozens of elite soldiers for him to bring, which is equivalent to a personal guard.

In addition to their regular equipment, these people also carry two loaded handcuffs, which can immediately fire a considerable amount of firepower if there is a situation.

Lu Tang also came, and Li Wei asked him to lead those craftsmen under Du Yuan's command.

After Li Wei issued the summoning order, Lu Tang hesitated for a long time, and when he returned home, his old father said to him: "I can live a good life during this time, not because you are with me, but because of Master Li!" ”

The old man spoke very clearly and reasonably, in the past few months, because of Li Wei in the Ordnance Bureau, the life of these craftsmen has been much better, and before, even if Lu Tang was by his old father's side, he dared not speak out when his old father was wronged.

The comparison of reality before and after made him firm in his desire to follow Li Wei on the expedition, only if Li Wei is well and he gets ahead himself, can he better protect his family.

"See Lord Admiral!"

Li Wei sat on the main seat, and the generals saluted in unison.

"You don't have to be polite, let's all sit down."

After everyone sat down, Li Wei thought for a while and said: "Everyone, we are about to go on the expedition, let me talk about our tactical arrangement, our tactics are ......"

Li Wei paused when he said this, and everyone cheered up and listened carefully.

"It's just obscene development, don't wave!" Li Wei's face was serious, and he said solemnly.

Generals: "??? ”
