The third child, Zhu Fan, was leaning against the table, crossing his arms and looking at the sand table with a thoughtful look on his face.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Di,
Seriously,
"Fourth uncle, you have to be the most careful on this journey. There is room for repayment in everything, and don't be in a hurry to make meritorious deeds."
Zhu Xiongying's words were no longer a hint, they were simply a clear statement. He clearly told Zhu Di that he would protect him. Zhu Xiongying did not want Zhu Di to be eager for quick success and death.
Zhu Di raised the corner of his mouth and smiled,
"Eldest nephew, don't worry, my fourth uncle is very stable."
Zhu Xiongying took a deep look at Zhu Di and said nothing more. Logically speaking, Zhu Di is indeed the most stable one among Xiao Zhu.
If Zhu Di can't lead him well along the way, then no one will be able to lead him well.
The dog-licking expression on Zhu Di's face stopped, and he looked at the sand table with a solemn expression, faintly revealing a bit of a kingly aura.
The third child, Zhu Fan, scratched his head and sighed. The second child, Zhu Fan, saw Zhu Fan like this.
I couldn't help but say,
"Third brother, don't act like you can't pull a 4, okay?
There's going to be a war! You are sighing here! If you have anything to say, just say it! "
Zhu Xiongying looked at his third uncle. As King Sai's brain, his third uncle could always find some problems that others could not see.
The third child, Zhu Fan, frowned and said,
"Eldest nephew, I'm a little unsure.
What should these people do if they heavily defend Kohewobu in advance? "
"How is this possible?!"
The second eldest child, Zhu Xi, subconsciously denied it.
When Zhu Di heard the third brother's words, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
Zhu Fan shook his head, stood up and walked to the edge of the sand table, stretched out his finger and pointed at Kehewo's position.
"Look, this is the only gap, and we have no choice.
If the enemy is smart enough, no, it doesn’t need to be smart enough,
As long as they are willing to guard against us, they will deploy troops here to defend themselves.
And as long as this hole is closed..."
"Third brother, you can't..."
Zhu Di's voice was trembling. He was not afraid of close combat with the enemy in Kohevo. He was just frightened by the enemy's strength.
Third brother has a lot of unsaid things.
Since being reprimanded by their eldest nephew for underestimating the enemy, they have conducted all-round intelligence work on the Timur Empire. Similar to the Yuan people, the rulers of the Timur Empire also implemented a hierarchical system similar to the four-class system.
In other words, the people within its territory will be clearly divided into classes according to the time of conquest.
This hand has been played in Rome, India, and Mongolia.
Divide the hierarchy to facilitate governance.
Even if you are at the bottom of the hierarchy, as long as you think that there are people below who are even more oppressed, human nature will drive you not to resist the oppressors at the top, but instead feel that the existence of the hierarchy is natural.
In the hierarchy, there are the most powerful high levels, and there are also the weakest low levels. This is an existence that everyone can oppress.
Take the Indian hierarchy as an example. Under the seemingly lowest Sudras, there is another class. They are called untouchables.
Untouchables are not allowed to enter urban areas at ordinary times. They must wear a gong around their necks at all times. In crowded places, they must ring the gong to remind others to stay away from them.
The same goes for the Timurid Empire. The captives in these conquered areas were no different to them than animals. They never regarded the captives in these government areas as the people of their own country.
Therefore, they need to always be on guard against rebellion by these captives. This is the basis of political rule.
And if the Timurid ruler chose to heavily guard the conquered area of Kohevo, he would need to complete two actions:
The first is to adopt a tolerant policy towards other conquered areas where troops cannot be stationed when military strength is limited.
The second is not to use a soft policy to provide food relief to captives in conquered areas when resources are limited.
This goes against the basic logic of hierarchy.
The people in those conquered areas are just beasts. If the Timur rulers do this, the simple explanation is to allocate resources from high levels to low levels.
As a ruler, this hand requires not only courage but also an iron fist.
There are many things involved behind the garrison in Kohevo.
So Zhu Di still couldn't believe it subconsciously.
However, the third brother’s words were not meant for the fourth brother to hear.
Zhu Fan looked at Zhu Xiongying and saw that his eldest nephew's face was full of contemplation.
The palace of Prince Yan fell into silence.
The second eldest brother, Zhu Fan, looked left and right. Seeing that everyone suddenly stopped talking, and feeling uncomfortable holding back, he said loudly,
"No matter what, just garrison troops and let's do what they do!"
"Uncle Third, this is a signal to prepare for war."
Zhu Fan glanced at Zhu Xiongying appreciatively and said with a smile,
"Yes, eldest nephew, they want to make up for the lack of resources in us.
This fight is a fight to the death. "
"It's better to fight to the death! It's better to beat him to death!"
The second child, Zhu Xi, was not on the same channel as everyone else at all. He was still dancing around and making a forward stab at the enemy with his horse stance, which was very entertaining.
"Then why don't we fight?"
Zhu Di looked at his third brother at a loss.
The third child, Zhu Fan, smiled and said,
"We are already ready to fight, so why not?"
Zhu Xiongying's eyes flashed, he glanced at all the uncles, and finally looked at the sand table,
"Let's adjust our strategy a little..."
........
half an hour later
The generals went to mobilize their troops, while Zhu Xiongying went to pay a visit to his fourth aunt Xu Miaoyun.
"Auntie!"
Zhu Xiongying strode towards Xu Miaoyun. Xu Miaoyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said,
"Xiongying, why are you here?"
Xu Miaoyun is dressed in dark green, her hair is tied up and down casually, and she is full of intelligent temperament.
Xu Miaoyun stood up and pulled Zhu Xiongying to sit down. Zhu Xiongying looked to the left and right.
asked,
"Where are Gao Chi and the others?"
Xu Miaoyun smiled and shook her head,
"The two brothers also knew that there was going to be a war, so they went to see it.
Boys just like to fight and kill. "
Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath and looked at Xu Miaoyun,
Straight to the point,
"Auntie, I hope to leave all the rear logistics to you."
Xu Miaoyun's hand holding the teapot froze, and the tea had already overflowed. Xu Miaoyun came back to her senses, exclaimed, and quickly wiped the overflowing tea.
"Xiongying, what are you talking about...My aunt comes from a womanly family..."
Zhu Xiongying shook his head.
The fourth uncle, Zhu Di, had always led troops in wars from King Yan to the emperor, and had never taken care of financial affairs. Maybe Zhu Di had the ability to manage finances, but he would never be so outstanding.
Zhu Di had been fighting for many years, and his military supplies had never collapsed once. It is hard to imagine how Zhu Di's logistics was done.
Before and after Zhu Di's calamity, there were Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji.
But when Zhu Gaochi was still a child and before Lao San came to the border, who did all the finances of King Yan?
This person is far away and right in front of me,
It's this woman in front of me,
Xu Miaoyun.
