Chapter 163
Inside Fengtian Hall, the silence was like ink.

Old Zhu frowned. Geng Bingwen was a veteran who followed him to fight the world. He was naturally very clear about Geng Bingwen's ability.

When facing Zhang Shicheng back then, Geng Bingwen garrisoned Changxing City for more than ten years, defending the city with [-] troops, and resisting tens of thousands from outside Changxing City, he became famous in one fell swoop.

Even Chang Yuchun, a brave general who looks down on the world, calls Geng Bingwen a "veteran general" and dare not despise him in the slightest.

To put it bluntly, if in the original history, Emperor Jianwen hadn't replaced Geng Bingwen, even if Zhu Laosi was awesome, he would probably be consumed by Geng Bingwen to death.

According to historical records: "Changxing is the land that Shicheng must fight for. Bingwen refused to defend it for ten years.

If Geng Bingwen, who is known as the "master of defense", can't defend Jiayuguan, then no one in the world can defend it.

However, the current battle situation in Jiayuguan is very different from the situation in Changxing City back then.

Although there are quite a few frontier guards in Jiayuguan, there are 20 people.

But once Timur's main army goes to Jiayuguan, there will be more than 150 million troops outside Jiayuguan, which is an extremely terrifying number.

150 million, one person and one brick can tear down Jiayuguan abruptly.

"This cripple, don't you want it at home?"

Lao Zhu couldn't help being rude.

This is a full army of 150 million, and this lame Timur probably evacuated his hometown.

"Immediately send an order for Chang Mao to rush to the northern border with the Beijing army."

Old Zhu Ning said, paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"Follow Zhu Di's restraint."

As soon as Chang Mao arrived in the south, he launched the final battle against Angkor.

At present, the four countries in the southern border have been completely pacified, and Chang Mao is dealing with the aftermath of the four countries. This time, the battle to pacify the four countries went smoothly. The 30 Beijing camp troops who went to conquer the southern border did not suffer serious casualties.

More than 25 people died, and close to [-] were slightly or seriously injured. Excluding these, there are still [-] fresh troops.

If these remaining fresh troops were put into the northwest battlefield, together with the Jiayuguan city guards and Zhu Di's current second line of defense in the north, then Ming would have deployed nearly 60 troops on the northwest battlefield.

This does not include the 30 that disappeared with Sapphire.

The combined strength of the two sides exceeded 200 million, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the war of the century.

As for the four countries that have just been flattened in the southern border, it is not a big problem to take over with Mu Ying's prestige in the southern border.

"According to the order."

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Bowen is naturally in charge of the implementation of the scheduling.

Old Liu looked at the majestic old Zhu sitting on the dragon chair in front of him. For some reason, he had the illusion of dreaming back to the early years of Hongwu.

"Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor."

"Chen, I have something to say."

Yang Rong among the cabinet ministers stood up at this time and said suddenly.

"Say."

Old Zhu glanced at Yang Rong.

He remembered that Zhu Xiongying had mentioned to him that this Yang Rong had always known soldiers, so could he have any good suggestions for the current situation?
"I'm worried. All the soldiers of the country are going to the northwest. If the capital is in trouble, what should I do?"

When Yang Rong said this, everyone frowned.

This is very reasonable.

The soldiers who are good at fighting are all transferred to the northwest. Once the capital is in trouble, there will be no soldiers to use.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no need to worry.

After all, in the current Ming Dynasty, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and there is no disobedience or rebellion, so there is no need to worry about being raided on his hometown like the later Chongzhen.

"The defense of the capital city can be taken over by the new army. Although the combat power is limited, it is enough to cope with the current situation."

Tie Xuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, spoke in praise.

Since the end of the War of Wa Kingdom, he began to prepare for the new army.

Although these recruits have not yet undergone systematic training, let alone the slightest battlefield experience, they are 10,000+ hard-bodied men. Coupled with the strong city walls of Yingtianfu, the guards of the capital still have a certain degree of confidence.

"Well, let's get started on this right away."

"The defense of the capital is fully controlled by Xu Huizu."

Old Zhu nodded.

Although I don't think the capital will be attacked by surprise, it is always right to take precautions before they happen.

........................

Cathay Pacific is peaceful, but wars continue.

In ancient times, the reason why a war can drag down a huge country, and even lead to the subjugation of the country.

For example, Emperor Sui Yang, the core factor for the demise of the Sui Dynasty was the failure of the three expeditions to Goryeo.

The reasons for the collapse are no different from two aspects.

Military rations, two, transporting military rations.

The consumption of military rations is equivalent to burning money. After the army is deployed, it needs a steady stream of supplies. For example, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought all the year round, the treasury was burned and smoked.

What is even more terrible is the transportation of military rations.

For example, if an army of 20 is fighting in the front line, at least 50 laborers need to be mobilized to transport food, and half of the food shipped out is eaten halfway. Coupled with transportation losses, very little can really be supplied to the front line. and less.

Start a war, waste people and waste money.

It is precisely because of the influence of many factors that the continuous war drags a country's finances into a quagmire and cannot extricate itself.

But in Zhu Xiongying's reign, there were no such problems.

In other words, it was solved perfectly.

First of all, the shortage of military rations was completely solved because of the appearance of Linggu.

The production cycle of Lingu is short, and the output is high, no matter how much you eat, it will be enough.

As for the problem of military ration transportation, which has been a headache for successive dynasties, it is even easier to solve, and it is not a problem at all for Zhu Xiongying.

Thanks to the establishment of the Qiankun Supervisor, the transportation of Linggu is completely zero loss, and there is no need to mobilize any large-scale labor. At most, some porters can be found, and the transportation speed is extremely fast, which can continuously supply the front line.

In the Great Ming Dynasty, it can be said with pride.

War, no matter how you fight at the border, it will not affect the lives of ordinary people.

That's why there is such a contradictory saying, 'The country is peaceful and peaceful, but the war continues'.

Yingtian Mansion, Xuantian Supervisor.

Liu Rixin was frowning with Monk Daoyan, the two old men with a combined grade of more than one hundred and five, staring with big eyes at the moment.

Zhang Tianjian and Xuantian Supervisor, among the many newly established yamen, can be said to be the two most closely coordinated.

It's not that Liu Rixin and Daoyan are about the same age and get along well.

It is purely because Zhang Tianjian needs to employ people, and these people are all excellent supervisors from Xuantian Supervisor.

Time waits for no one. Of course, Liu Rixin can't wait until Xuantian Supervisor and the supervisors have completely graduated before training them. The time period is too long, and the establishment of Zhang Tianjian can't wait, but it has to be carried out simultaneously with Xuantian Supervisor.

"Are you kidding? To Jiayuguan?"

Liu Rixin looked at Daoyan, and the little old man was about to explode.

He selected the thirty prison students he was most satisfied with from the Xuantian prison. These thirty prison students could not be said to have the best spiritual roots, but for Liu Rixin they were the most suitable candidates to be in charge of the sky prison.

From the time these thirty supervisors entered Xuantian Supervisor, Liu Rixin picked them out individually and began to train them specially.

Therefore, these [-] superintendents are superior to other supervising students in terms of spells, such as the simple summoning of wind and rain, and the relatively basic summoning thunder technique.

Liu Rixin is full of confidence and wants to use these 30 people to build the basic team for Zhang Tianjian.

But today, Dao Yan suddenly found Liu Rixin and told him that he would send these thirty supervisors to the Jiayuguan battlefield to help.

The reason is also simple. Unnatural forces appeared on the Jiayuguan battlefield.

In the entire Xuantian Prison, currently only these [-] supervising students have the ability to cast basic spells under Liu Rixin's special training.

Although others have strong aptitudes, they are still at the stage of theoretical knowledge.

"These 30 people may not be able to resist the enemy on the battlefield, but they can greatly boost our morale."

Although Dao Yan is now devoting himself to education, he is still sensitive to the situation.

As the supervisor of Xuantian, he also has the qualifications to participate in the battle report of Jiayuguan. He knows that a strange white-skinned man appeared in Jiayuguan, which caused the morale of the soldiers guarding Jiayuguan to be frustrated.

And at this time, if the students from the Xuantian Supervisor are sent there, even though it won't have any real effect, it can restore morale and tell the guards.

I am Ming, not inferior to these white-skinned people.

"Liu Jianzheng, these 30 people are still the supervisors of my Xuantian Supervisor. As long as they have not graduated from the Xuantian Supervisor, my Xuantian Supervisor has the right to dispatch them. There is no need to discuss this matter."

Dao Yan condensed his voice, and directly said the words to death.

Even though Liu Rixin gritted his teeth, there was nothing he could do.

"Since that's the case, I will personally take them to Jiayuguan, old man!"

Liu Rixin gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

These 30 supervisors were selected by him for special training, and they will be used as the foundation of Zhang Tianjian in the future. He doesn't want to see these [-] students lost in Jiayuguan for nothing.

Monk Daoyan was taken aback for a moment, and then glanced at Liu Rixin in surprise.

He really didn't expect that Liu Rixin, a little old man, had the courage to go to the battlefield.

"What do you look at, the old man just told his own fortune, and he is still far away from death."

Liu Rixin snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.

It is a daily habit to do a fortune telling for yourself every day.

Old man Liu muttered to himself as he walked.

"Why isn't your Majesty going out yet?"

In the entire Ming Dynasty, the only person who knew the reason for Zhu Xiongying's retreat this time, besides Zhu Xiongying himself, was Liu Rixin, an old man.

Liu Rixin knew that Zhu Xiongying retreated in order to deal with death.

"On the tenth of May, His Majesty's death is approaching."

Liu Rixin frowned, and left Xuantian Prison with a heavy heart.

About an hour later.

Liu Rixin and his concubine completed the warm-up exercise, then set off from their own mansion, took the thirty supervisors from Xuantian Supervisor, and teleported directly to Sudi through Qiankun Supervisor's moving array.

..............................

At the same time, the border of Qin land.

A series of military orders came out, and a large number of troops and horses changed defenses on the border, forming a powerful defensive array.

Zhu Di reined in his horse in the wilderness, looking at the vast northern land, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.

He thought about going back to the northern border many times, but he never expected that when he really came back again, he would be in such a posture.

"Father, we now have tens of thousands of troops under our command, and soon the 25 troops of the Beijing camp will also march to the northern border. All of them will be controlled by you, father. You now hold the life and death of Ming Dynasty in your hands."

"Why don't we fight back?"

"As long as the timing is right, we can counterattack Yingtian. After the father ascends the throne, we will mobilize troops and horses to deal with Timur."

Beside Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu was very excited, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he was, and he was extremely satisfied with his suggestion.

In Zhu Gaoxu's view, the current opportunity is even more difficult to come by than Jing Nan before, and has a higher probability of success.

These words made the fat Zhu Gaochi feel chills down his back.

The arrogant layman Zhu Gaosui on the side followed suit.

"Second brother is right!"

"Father, let's go against it!"

"Ula!"

'Snapped'.

With a scrape, he slapped Zhu Gaosui's face fiercely.

Although it was the third child who was scratching his head, the second child Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, looking at his father sideways with a startled face.

I thought to myself, Dad, didn’t you think of rebelling every day in the past, and now such a great opportunity is in front of you, it’s a pity not to grasp it!
"No matter how dare you speak nonsense, it's not as simple as a slap."

Zhu Di glared at the third child, and then coldly glanced at the second child in his own family.

These two boys are too restless.

rebel?

Not enough heads to chop?
Zhu Di understood very well.

Although the current situation is somewhat turbulent, it is all because His Majesty the Emperor is in retreat.

As long as His Majesty leaves the customs, everything will be pacified.

And from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Di didn't want to rebel anymore, he admitted from his heart that Zhu Xiongying was more suitable for the throne than him.

"Gao Chi, you go to meet the army of the Beijing camp. This time Chang Mao and his son will also come together. Although on the surface it is under the control of the father, you must not neglect it."

Zhu Di said in a condensed voice.

"Yes, father."

Zhu Gaochi nodded in agreement, and hurriedly turned around and left.

Looking at the eldest son who left, Zhu Di felt a little relieved, and now he is more and more pleasing to his fat boss.

Although his personality is very different from his own, and he can't charge forward, but he acts calmly, and he can rest assured when he is entrusted with his work.

..............................

Jiangxi chief envoy, 712 mines.

The extremely bright flowing colors surround Zhu Xiongying, don't look at the charming flowing colors, as the saying goes, the more charming the more dangerous.

If an ordinary person is next to this radiance, it is estimated that it can mutate at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even a practitioner with spiritual roots cannot withstand this concentration.

"It has to be faster."

Zhu Xiongying's eyes are like vast stars, deep in the sky.

Although he is retreating here, his spiritual consciousness still covers half of Daming, and he knows everything that happened in Daming.

If it is a simple military attack and defense, with Lao Zhu sitting in Yingtian, Zhu Di Lanyu, Geng Bingwen and others in the northern border, and millions of troops to support, even if Timur's 150 million troops come to invade, it will be no problem.

Yes, as far as the current situation is concerned.

It is obvious that the mysterious Western power that was worried before has begun to influence the situation on the battlefield.

The present is only a slight dabble.

And once Timur's main army arrives, and Timur's lame man arrives, then the mysterious power of the West will inevitably multiply.

At that time, whether it is the Jiayuguan battlefield or other places, the pressure will increase exponentially.
