After arranging the bank's affairs, Li Wei went to the Shenji Camp.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have much time to prepare, and the various guards of the Beijing Division had already begun to draw troops and horses, so he had to hurry up.

When he came to the big tent of the Shenji Camp, Li Wei ordered people to summon all the soldiers and announced to them the holy oracle of the expedition to Yunnan.

After hearing this, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

"Great, we've been idle for a year, and finally there's another fight!"

Sun Lei exclaimed, since he was transferred to the artillery guard directly under Li Wei, he has been looking forward to taking these cannons to the battlefield to show his might.

Although the others were not as embarrassed as him, they were all excited.

In the last battle, after coming back, these people have all been promoted two or three levels in a row, and there are a lot of other rewards, and this time they will come again, and they will definitely be rewarded when they come back!

Li Wei raised his hand and pressed it, and said lightly: "Now we have 20,000 people in the camp, we don't need to send them all, I have already asked Your Majesty for permission, this time we will send 10,000 people to join the army, and the others will stay and continue training!" ”

"Lord Admiral, I must follow, our new artillery must be pulled out for training, otherwise it will rust in the camp!"

Sun Lei said in a rough voice.

Li Wei glanced at him, a little speechless, how long has this artillery been in service, why is it rusty? And in the camp, I also train every day, and I don't just stand still.

"Okay, you don't need to say that the artillery will definitely have to follow, but you can't pull it all out, in this way, there will be thirty Shenwei cannons, one hundred Shenji cannons, and the rest will stay to continue training."

Li Wei said impatiently.

After listening to this, Sun Lei felt a little regretful that he couldn't bring all the artillery, but he finally brought more than half of it, and he should be able to enjoy it.

After Li Wei finished talking to him, he swept his gaze to Song Zhong and Jiang Long and others, and several of them raised their heads one after another, saying that I can do it!

"My lord, why don't we discuss the combat deployment before making a decision?"

Jiang Long reminded loudly.

Everyone looked at each other and understood what he meant, what he said was consultation, but in fact, everyone competed.

"It's fine." Li Wei nodded slightly, then ordered someone to take the map, unfold it and hang it, and then took everyone to look at it together.

Li Wei learned from Zhu Yuanzhang's example and talked about this combat deployment:

"If you want to take Yunnan, go down to Qujing first, Qujing is the throat of Yunnan, as long as you can take here, it will be much easier to pacify Yunnan!"

"My lord! In this way, our army will follow the river and go straight to Qujing, and we will be able to settle the situation in one battle! ”

Seeing Li Wei pause slightly, Song Zhong hurriedly spoke first.

Li Wei was stunned, Song Zhong's statement was similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts at that time.

So he nodded lightly and said, "Yes, that's what I thought!" ”

After speaking, he continued to look at Song Zhong and waited for him to continue.

However, Song Zhong didn't react for a while, and after a moment's stunned, he gave Jiang Long next to him a chance.

"Qujing is the eastern gateway of Yunnan, bordering the Baishi River in the north, which is its natural barrier, so if you want to take Yunnan, you must first go down to Qujing, and after obtaining Qujing, our army can go straight to Yunnan."

Jiang Long calmly analyzed.

Li Wei listened and took notes, and finally had some sense of picture in his mind.

"Well, that's what I thought, too!" Li Wei nodded and said, then took out Lao Zhu's deployment and said: "In addition, I also suggest to Your Majesty that Yixiao will be sent from Yongning to march into Wu...... What's going on? ”

"My lord, it's Usa, isn't it?" Song Zhong cautiously probed.

"Yes, yes, it's Usa!"

"My lord's plan is very clever, so that the local Turkish army will be contained in Wusa, and our army will be able to capture Qujing with peace of mind!"

Song Zhong immediately said loudly, first patting the sycophants and then explaining, Li Wei nodded with satisfaction when he heard it.

"Adults are far-sighted, and they use soldiers like gods......"

Du Yuan didn't rush to speak, so he could only follow behind and praise Balabala.

Li Wei also nodded face-savingly, but then his tone changed and said, "Du Yuan stayed to take care of the house." ”

"Huh?"

Du Yuan was stunned for a moment, he felt that he was shooting his ass very well!

Li Wei glanced at him lightly, although the sycophants are good, you have to have real skills!

After eliminating Du Yuan, Li Wei copied the arrangements of Zhu Yuanzhang that he could remember, and said a few words to stop.

All the soldiers were also very cooperative, and they came up to praise the wisdom of the adults first, and then opened their mouths to explain to him the reason for such an arrangement.

In the praise of everyone, Li Wei also suddenly realized that he understood Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, how to say it, he felt that the gap between him and Zhu Yuanzhang was just a geography class!

In ancient times, the most important thing was to use all kinds of dangerous terrain, a river, a mountain, to stop hundreds of thousands of troops, and even to win more with less.

Unlike the wars of later generations, aircraft, tanks, and satellite missiles are all on the spot, and the impact of terrain on the war has been greatly reduced!

After Li Wei went through a "school examination" of these soldiers, he finally chose Song Zhong and Zuo Wei.

In fact, Song Zhong and Jiang Long's skills are good, but Song Zhong is closer to him (can shoot horses), and Jiang Long has always been responsible for the training of the Shenji Battalion, so he is more relieved to leave Li Wei.

As for Zuo Wei, the guards he led were still mainly cavalry, with more than 3,000 of them, and the role of cavalry was still very large, and it was highly mobile, so it had to be brought with them.

After the person was chosen, Zuo Wei, Song Zhong, Sun Lei and others began to prepare in a hurry.

A month later, 200,000 troops boarded ships from the Longjiang port and set out for the expedition, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally prepared for them.

Fu Youde led the soldiers to bow goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang took a special glance at Li Wei, who had a unique painting style in the crowd.

Fu Youde understood, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will ensure that it is foolproof!" ”

At this time, he is no longer as indifferent as when he was in the first meeting, because Zhu Yuanzhang has already promised him that if he plays well this time, he will be able to be crowned a prince when he comes back!

Now in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the six princes who were crowned at the time of the founding of the country, only Tang He was crowned a prince in the eleventh year of Hongwu, and he is about to become the next one.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also hung a drag oil bottle on him when he promised him, but Fu Youde didn't care much about it, he was full of confidence in this battle, even if Li Wei was allowed to play soy sauce all the way.

After the generals said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang, they began to board the ship one after another, and Li Wei and his Shenji battalion also followed to carry baggage to the ship, especially the big things like artillery, it was not enough to rely on the artillery guards themselves, and a group of laborers were also recruited to help.

It took the army three or four days to carry the baggage, and then the soldiers were able to board the ship and set off.

More than 3,000 warships, lined up into a dragon several miles long, set off from Yingtian, went up the river, and marched to Yunnan! (End of chapter)
