smallpox!
When these two words rang out in the hall.
Even Xu Da, Tang He and others, who had been on the battlefield for many years, could not help but change their expressions.
This is a plague in which more people die than live after being infected!
These generals have killed countless people in their lives and are not afraid of ghosts and gods.
But the plague is invisible and intangible. But there is still instinctive fear about something that is extremely deadly.
And when Chu Ze proposed that things contaminated with smallpox should be used as goods to be dumped into the territory of the Japanese country, thereby triggering the raging smallpox plague in the other country.
When everyone looked at Chu Ze again, their eyes became a little horrified.
This young man seems to be harmless.
But what people didn't expect was that this little guy had such vicious thoughts.
The plague is different from others. This thing will not avoid you because of your identity.
And Chu Ze's proposal is undoubtedly to kill them without distinction, no matter who the opponent is!
Smallpox is highly contagious, and everyone present knew this very well.
If there is someone behind the scenes who is maliciously adding fuel to the flames.
The speed of its spread may reach a frightening level.
If we just talk about it from the perspective of war, although Chu Ze's proposal is a bit vicious, it can definitely have miraculous effects.
Especially when he said that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of the smallpox plague.
But this approach may be a bit harmful to Tianhe.
"Good guy, now I suddenly understand what Dao Yan means. Why did he say that he asked Chu Zeshao to kill him? This guy doesn't want to start a war. He clearly wants to kill the clan and exterminate the race!"
At this time, the people in the hall looked at Chu Ze's harmless look. Most people probably just thought that he did not understand war, so they made such a suggestion based on the knowledge they could understand.
But Zhu Di could feel it faintly.
The confusion on Chu Ze's face was just a disguise.
In other words, this guy had something planned from the beginning.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
After making his suggestions, Chu Ze seemed to feel Zhu Di's gaze towards him.
He turned his head and smiled at Zhu Di.
That smile looked particularly eye-catching.
But Zhu Di felt a numbness in his back.
"Haha, no, no, actually, I think your suggestion is a good one."
Although Zhu Di also felt that Chu Ze was a bit sinister at this time, Zhu Di also knew that besides teasing him, Chu Ze was quite good to him.
At least, when they got along, Chu Ze probably had no intention of cheating him.
"Your Majesty, Chu Ze's proposal...I still feel that it is somewhat inappropriate. Smallpox is a plague after all. If we can't control it well, it will infect us. The soldiers are all fighting for the country, and they will not die. On the battlefield, he died at the hands of the plague."
"How can we be worthy of the families of the soldiers?"
After Xu Da pondered for a while, he finally took the lead in raising his objections.
However, what Xu Da didn't expect was that as soon as he said his objection, Zhu Di, who had always had a relatively low sense of presence, pulled his sleeve beside him.
"Father-in-law, we are actually already studying the smallpox issue. According to Chu Ze, from now on, our entire Ming Dynasty, from the kings and ministers to the refugees, will no longer have to worry about the smallpox plague."
"So... our soldiers, even if we are surrounded by people infected with smallpox, we will be fine."
"Is there still this matter?"
After Xu Da heard Zhu Di's reminder, he couldn't help but frown, and there was no doubt in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Di.
"Are you sure this is true? Do you have any clues now? Smallpox has existed for so many years, and there is still no accurate explanation. What if it happens?"
"If smallpox suddenly starts to rage in the army when the two armies are fighting, then the morale of the army will be unstable and the army will fight across the sea. Once the morale of the army is unstable, the entire expeditionary army may be annihilated!"
"If there is no absolute certainty in this matter, even the most humble ministers would not agree!"
Xu Da's question not only left Zhu Di speechless.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the chief position, didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Uncle Xu! Although there is no final conclusion on the issue of smallpox yet, I believe that there will be a conclusion soon. When the time comes... I will personally demonstrate the prevention of smallpox in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies."
"If I can ignore the smallpox plague by then, then I think the soldiers will no longer worry about this problem."
Zhu Biao stood up suddenly, which could be said to have stunned everyone present.
The prince personally demonstrated the prevention of smallpox.
If this is really the case, let alone the soldiers will not be afraid.
Even they generals won’t be afraid anymore!
Compared with life, whose life is more valuable than the prince's?
"On the issue of the smallpox plague, I originally thought that we would announce it after we have the results to avoid causing unnecessary panic. But now that Chu Ze has raised it, let's talk about it too."
"In fact, the smallpox plague has never been eliminated. It's just that all places are aware of the dangers of this matter, so once it occurs, it will be dealt with as soon as possible."
"But a plague is a plague after all, and the best way to deal with it is always to cure it. Rather than avoid it."
"And Chu Ze has already found a way to cure smallpox. We are also conducting experiments now. As long as we are sure that there is a way to cure smallpox, let alone the prince, we will take the lead in showing it!"
"Not only us, but also our concubines and the prince must all set an example together!"
"This is a major matter that concerns the whole country. We can't make fun of it. Tian De, you can rest assured about this matter."
After Zhu Yuanzhang saw his son's domineering support, he, as a father, naturally had to support Zhu Biao's decision.
Moreover, Zhu Biao stood up in front of a group of military generals. This was also a time to show his son's responsibilities as a prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still very satisfied with Zhu Biao's move.
"So, has the little brother really found a way to cure smallpox? If so, then I still agree with the little brother's proposal."
"The battlefield is ruthless, and the winner is king! What we are discussing at this time is war. If we still have compassion at this time, we will be irresponsible to our soldiers!"
"It is better for the enemy to die than for me to die!"
"Your Majesty, the general's suggestion is that this method is not only feasible, but also cannot kill the weapons in the hands of our soldiers. It would be best if the weapons in the hands of our soldiers could also be infected with plague."
"If you touch it, you will die, if you touch it, you will die! Only in this way can we destroy the enemy to the maximum extent."
When Xu Da didn't know what to say for a moment, Li Wenzhong on the other side finally spoke.
And as soon as he spoke, his words were full of indifference to life.
Xu Da was considering the safety of his own soldiers.
But now that His Majesty has guaranteed it, we can definitely rest assured about safety issues.
Then he wouldn't have to worry about this.
What they have to consider now is how to maximize their advantages.
"Let me go...who is this uncle? I thought my idea was bad, but I didn't expect his idea to be sharper than mine! All the soldiers in the army collectively enchant their weapons, right? One chop, one is injured on the spot, and a bunch of them die later. .sharp!"
After hearing Li Wenzhong's suggestion, Chu Ze couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his direction.
This compliment is not polite.
But it comes from the heart!
He just thought of poisoning, but this big guy was even more awesome and just enchanted the entire army.
Convert physical damage into magic damage.
This thought made Chu Ze become extremely curious about the other party.
So while talking, he didn't forget to poke Zhu Biao next to him with his elbow.
"Who is this"
After hearing Chu Ze's inquiry, Zhu Biao subconsciously wanted to introduce the person who just spoke to him.
But as soon as the words came to his lips, he suddenly froze.
Then he looked at Chu Ze reproachfully and said.
"Don't mess up the seniority... This is Li Wenzhong, or Zhu Wenzhong. He is our brother Wang and the nephew of our father."
"In terms of seniority, you have to call him brother. What's wrong with uncle?"
"Uh, Li Wenzhong! The father of the God of War. I have long admired your name!"
Li Wenzhong, nicknamed Baoer.
In the early Ming Dynasty, he was the number one commander-in-chief under Xu Da.
But what he is most famous for is not his glorious achievements.
The most famous thing is that he is the eldest son of his family.
The first generation war god of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jinglong!
If it hadn't been for the emergence of the Mingbao Sect later on, it would have surpassed the rest of the world.
It is estimated that Li Jinglong's name as the God of War can last longer.
"Father of the God of War? What are you talking about?"
After learning Li Wenzhong's identity, Chu Ze suddenly became startled, which startled Zhu Biao next to him.
Especially when I heard this guy suddenly say "Father of the God of War".
He quickly reached out and pulled Chu Ze.
Tell him to stop talking nonsense.
"Hehehe, I'm sorry, I got excited, I got excited. Sorry, sorry!"
After being reminded by Zhu Biao, Chu Ze also realized that his performance was somewhat outstanding.
I quickly laughed and said haha.
However, his strange behavior just now has attracted everyone's attention.
Xu Da, Tang He and other people who didn't know what was going on looked at Chu Ze out of curiosity, and then looked at Li Wenzhong.
For a while, I was a little confused about what was going on.
And now Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, who are initially familiar with Chu Ze's character, saw Chu Ze's performance just now.
I probably feel confident now.
Anyone who can be targeted by Chu Ze in this way probably has something going on at home.
For a moment, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Biao, when they looked at Li Wenzhong, they couldn't help but have a bit of pity in their eyes.
"What's that? Don't worry about this kid. He's had a brain injury and goes crazy from time to time. Everyone just doesn't think it's strange."
"Let's continue talking about the use of troops against Japan."
Although I had already expected that something was going on at Li Wenzhong's family, it was obvious that this was not the time to ask about these things.
After Zhu Yuanzhang had a laugh, he finally got things back on track.
As for the next topic, Chu Ze basically couldn't get involved.
However, being able to sit in this hall and witness the whole process of ancient pre-war planning was a unique experience for Chu Ze.
The complexity before launching a battle far exceeded Chu Ze's imagination.
From the planning of the march route, to the transportation of grain and supplies, to how the final battle will unfold, to what extent the battle will go, how many manpower should be invested, and what types of troops are needed.
Even after the war, how to prevent the opponent from counterattacking and so on were basically discussed.
After listening to the whole process, Chu Ze felt inexplicably a little excited.
A meeting that started in the morning and ended in the evening was officially over.
The result of the meeting was not unexpected. It was inevitable to send troops.
And when they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose in this battle was to occupy the entire Japanese country, all the generals, young and old, were so excited that they wanted to fight.
This is a war to destroy the country!
If someone becomes the general and wins this battle, let’s not talk about the credit for now.
Even the fame has to be maxed out!
For military generals, personally commanding a battle to destroy a country is a great honor, and it is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.
"By the way, when facing a war of this scale, don't we need to discuss it with the civil servants?"
After the meeting went up, Chu Ze followed Zhu Biao to the East Palace.
On the way, he also asked the doubts in his heart.
After listening to Zhu Biao's introduction, Chu Ze also knew that all those who came to participate in the meeting today were military generals.
In Chu Ze's impression, this kind of foreign war should be discussed together in the court hall with all the civil and military officials.
But from beginning to end today, only military officers showed up, and not a single civilian official was present.
In Chu Ze's opinion, this is somewhat strange.
Zhu Biao, who was walking in front, turned his head and looked at Chu Ze with a smile after hearing Chu Ze's question.
"What? Do you really have no idea what's going to happen?"
After hearing Zhu Biao's question, Chu Ze couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Zhu Biao did not continue to talk about this matter, but just walked ahead silently.
After arriving at the East Palace, it was still by the pond where they talked last time, but this time, a small table and parasol were placed.
Under the sunlight, the lake surface flashed with waves from time to time.
Ding dong
Chu Ze, who was short of hands, picked up the gravel on the ground and threw it into the lake with his backhand.
Looking at the gradually spreading ripples on the lake surface, the two of them were in a trance for a while.
After a long time, Zhu Biao took the lead and spoke.
"My father has given me full power over Hu Weiyong's matter and asked me to handle it. Do you have any advice on this?"
