Seeing that his eldest grandson listened to what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking everything into your own hands is not a sign of responsibility, it is just arrogance.
Zhu Yuanzhang has lived to this age and is still making mistakes and absorbing new knowledge.
Although our eldest grandson is great, we don’t have to put too much burden on ourselves.
Lao Zhu knew that Da Sun had put a lot of effort into the pension plan.
But as Zhu Yuanzhang said before, when any system remains in the form of a plan, it looks perfect, and no mistakes can be found.
But when it comes to the implementation stage, many unexpected surprises will come to our door.
Find problems, solve them, and don't waste time on others.
Zhu Xiongying thought for a moment,
He opened his mouth and said,
"Grandpa, we still have to fight Timur. After swallowing this whole piece, it's time to recuperate."
Lao Zhu nodded in agreement. In the past few years, he had conquered the north and south, and achieved countless great achievements. It was these glorious achievements that temporarily suppressed the contradiction.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty swept across the Xiongnu, and the battle shocked the world, but in fact he expelled the Xiongnu and almost destroyed the Han Dynasty.
This is the result of aggressive military tactics.
If it weren't for the fact that the two emperors after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were both wise emperors and had a good rest for two generations, the Han Dynasty would really have been overthrown by the uprising.
In front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the rule of Wenjing, and behind him was the rule of Zhaoxuan and Zhongxing.
It took four generations before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty achieved the great feat of launching an attack.
However, at this stage of the Ming Dynasty, martial arts were more prosperous than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
And it's not just because Zhu Xiongying has fought so many battles in the past few years. He has been fighting since the founding of the Ming Dynasty and has never been idle.
If the economy hadn't stabilized, it's hard to say what would have happened.
"As for the current issue of the military system..."
Zhu Xiongying pondered for a while again, thinking about whether he could find answers in the modern system just like the extra points system solved the problem of the North and South rankings.
What if we use the method of recruiting troops every year for military training to maintain combat effectiveness? And then retire from the army every few years, so that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers during military training can be maintained to meet the needs of the King of Sai to mobilize troops.
However, this method is obviously not feasible.
In ancient times, young adults were the absolute main force of the dynasty. They were not only the new force of farmers, but also the main force of the army.
If there is a military training program and people are regularly transferred from various places for training, it would be better to directly hire professional soldiers.
Moreover, unlike the modern developed transportation system, even if Zhu Xiongying clears the road, these young and middle-aged people will move very slowly. If they come and go, they will waste their time.
Volunteer army and professional army,
It's really hard to choose...
Hiring professional soldiers is like a special medicine that can immediately solve all the problems of volunteer soldiers.
But if the control is not good, the consequences will be too great. The Tang Dynasty is the best example, and the consequences are irreversible.
Speaking of this, Zhu Xiongying suddenly felt that the soldiers and horses in King Sai's hands had to be controlled, and at least he had to start thinking about what to do.
Because the soldiers and horses in the hands of King Sai are also professional soldiers.
Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned. This matter is really difficult to handle. Tax reform affects the whole body, as does military reform.
"Grandpa, please don't press these down in advance.
After Timur was captured, it was time for the government troops to demobilize. "
"OK!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily. There was no need to rush this matter. It was the old Zhu Yuanzhang who discovered this matter first.
After listening to the words of the eldest grandson, the tone of the Fubing system was also set. The Fubing system was abolished.
As for the hiring of professional soldiers, we still have to discuss it further.
"By the way, Grandpa, this just happens to be the letter that Third Uncle and the others sent today."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he took it over excitedly. The old man actually also loved fighting.
The character of the second warmonger has finally found its roots.
Zhu Yuanzhang read ten lines at a time.
Then he said,
"We have to fight in the spring."
Lao Zhu's tone was firm, not as if he was talking about a guess, but as a fact.
Zhu Yuanzhang smoothed the letter with his hand, squinted and said,
“This battle must be fought.
The border between our Ming Dynasty and Timur is now close to each other.
If we don't move them, they will have to move us.
Since the last time the second son encountered Timur’s army in the grassland, the Timur army has become more and more bold, entering our territory frequently.
What is such an unscrupulous provocation if it is not to start a war? !
Damn it, how cold must they be? !
Tamerlane is bitten to death and cannot be fought in winter? ! "
Lao Zhu had never been to that side of the grassland and had no clear physical sense of how cold it was there.
And Zhu Xiongying held his chin,
said,
"Grandpa, it's really cold."
If it weren't for the previous national luck rewards that improved the cold resistance of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the situation would only be worse.
“They’re frost-resistant, so they’re also more proactive.
Wait until the spring comes and call directly. No matter how we look at it, we will be passive.
Just fight in winter? Catch them off guard? "
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shone and he looked at his eldest grandson and asked.
actually,
Zhu Xiongying is also thinking about this issue.
How feasible is it to mobilize troops despite the severe cold in winter?
Even if it was an assault, it would require a few teams of surprise troops. It would be impossible to risk huge casualties and cause hundreds of thousands of people to freeze to death and suffer frostbite in vain.
"Grandpa, why don't your grandson come and see you?"
This time Zhu Yuanzhang did not refuse directly, but instead pondered,
There is one thing that Lao Zhu knows very well.
The war in the north is about to break out.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so one of Daming and Timur must die.
In other words, there is another way,
Let Ming give up all the grasslands as a buffer and neutral area for Ming and Timur.
However, if he did it this way, not to mention that Lao Zhu couldn't do it from the bottom of his heart, the second and third children would have to explode in an instant if they knew it.
"Grandson, be careful in everything."
Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Xiongying's hand and said seriously.
Zhu Xiongying also nodded seriously,
"Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson will definitely protect himself."
"well...."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want his eldest grandson to go, but if his eldest grandson didn't go, he would be leaderless.
Lao Zhu wished he could go by himself, but he also knew that this was impossible.
If the Ming Dynasty did not fight this battle, all the results obtained before would have to be cut off. This would be tantamount to capitalizing on the enemy in disguise.
If you want to get it back, you don't know when.
so,
Zhu Xiongying must go to Yandi in person to take command of the overall situation.
Using the entire grassland as a chessboard,
This handsome guy from the Ming Dynasty camp is finally going to be put on the chessboard.
