Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Prince's Secret Thoughts Eavesdropped on by Zhu

Zhu Hu knew that the teaching had officially begun, and said seriously

"If the Ming Dynasty can recover these treasures, Guozuo will be extended for three hundred years. "

Liu Bowen glanced at Zhu Hu.

"I don't know which place King Wu thinks is the most important to take back?"

This question was asked to Zhu Hu.

It's different from the fantasy realm before I came.

Liu Bowen's questions need to be realistic.

Zhu Hu thought seriously.

The importance of the northeast is undoubted, the main force of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is there, and if this group of tiger and wolf soldiers is not eliminated for a day, it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to be stable for a day.

Moreover, the strategic position of the Northeast in Zhu Hu's heart has natural advantages, and he needs the full support of the Northeast to fight with the little devils in the future.

The

amount of manpower, material, and financial resources consumed to pacify the northeast is the largest in these four places.

Judging from the real history, it has not been possible to completely cut off this group of people for hundreds of years, and you can see how difficult it is.

The importance of the southeast is not low either.

The surrounding tributary states are at most from Fuzhou, Mingzhou, and Chongmingzhou.

Just like Zhu Hu's plan, if you want to take the sea trade in the future, stability in the southeast is a necessary condition.

At present, the biggest problem in the southeast is the rebellion of the Japanese and the pirates.

Compared with the Northern Yuan Tartars, this group did not have the rampage of cavalry, and they needed to consume much less strength.

Coupled with the blessing of the Mandarin Duck Array, the southeast is simpler than the north.

As for the west side, it's more like a bomb that explodes regularly.

Wusizang and Tibet, the places with the most moths in all dynasties, will rebel and divide the territory every once in a while.

However, compared with several other places, there are fewer people in the west and fewer soldiers and generals, and only a few tens of thousands of soldiers and horses need to be sent to easily recover.

Relatively speaking, it is a lot easier.

The problem of the West has never been about reconquest, it is the subsequent governance that is the crux of the problem.

The last southwest remains.

Now the southwest side is controlled by the king of Liang of the Northern Yuan, although it is in the south, it is the blood of the Northern Yuan that is shed.

This place is surrounded by rolling mountains and is the most difficult to bite.

Flipping through the "History of the Ming Dynasty", it was not until the fourteenth year of Hongwu that Yuan Liang was officially defeated by the Ming Dynasty.

The famous Mu Ying later guarded Yunnan until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The more Zhu Hu thought about it, the more he realized that his initial idea was too naïve.

On his own, he can't make Daming dominate the world in a short period of time.

He spoke slowly.

"In the eyes of the later students, the most important place to clean up these four places was the north, then the southeast, then the west and the southwest.

North Side..."

Liu Bowen interrupted him, took out a white chess piece from the chess box, and placed it in the position of 'Yingtian' on the map.

"Lord Wu, it's wrong, the first thing to clean up is this. "

Zhu Lu narrowed his eyes.

Damn, multiple-choice ABCD your answer is E.

What does it mean to make a fuss in the heavens.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked you to teach the prince the art of war, how did you teach politics.

Liu Bowen said:

"King Wu knows that Prime Minister Xu You is on the front line, how much money and food do you have to consume every day?"

Zhu Hu shook his head.

This is indeed his knowledge blind spot.

Liu Bowen said lightly

"Soldiers eat one liter of five-fold rice a day, and horses eat three liters of concentrate feed and four catties of hay every day.

For 10,000 troops, people alone will have to eat 150 stone of grain a day.

Prime Minister Xu Youcheng went to the Northern Yuan Dynasty this time, with 250,000 soldiers, and 3,750 stone of grain in one day.

If you add horses, you have to eat about 10,000 stone of grain and grass in total. "

"At the end of a month, the grain and grass will eat 300,000 stones. "

"Generally speaking, a hundred miles of road, an ox cart takes seven days to travel round trip, and you have to eat a lot of food in these seven days. "

"Where does this grain come from, part of it comes out of the military cantonment, and the rest of it naturally comes out of the household. "

Therefore, it is most important to respond to the sky. "

"If you take into account the food supply, where does King Wu think that the four places are most suitable?"

After Liu Bowen's reasoning.

Zhu Hu suddenly fell into deep thought.

In this way, it seems that the southeast is the priority to be pacified.

The southeast is close to each other, food supply is not a problem, and if the sea trade route can be opened, there will be a few more intakes, and the money bag can be larger. "

Liu Bowen nodded with satisfaction.

"King Wu Congmin, among all the princes, only the crown prince and you can think of this.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not arrived, grain and grass go first, if it is a fierce general who can only fight, he can hand over the grain and grass to the rear to do.

But if you want to be a good commander, the first thing you need to consider is food and grass!

This first lesson is to teach the use of "food." "

Liu Bowen began to teach Zhu Hu about grain and grass.

From the selection of grain and grass types, the proportion of materials for horses to eat forage, to the weather and grain distribution time to be considered when transporting grain.

He taught Zhu Hu everything in detail.

Zhu Lu listened with relish.

It turns out that fighting a war is not as simple as he imagined, and it takes a lot of consideration to win the war.

After more than ten years of exam-taking education, he developed the habit of taking notes, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to send him a pen and paper, for fear of forgetting something.

Liu Bowen saw Zhu Hu working so hard, and his heart was even more joyful, and his interest in speaking was much higher.

Three hours passed.

Outside, the sky was shining from sunset to sunset.

Liu Bowen, who is over 60 years old, spoke for six hours in a row, and he was still full of energy.

He talked about the period from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Zhizheng period, during which he gave no less than 20 examples of grain use.

Seeing his enthusiastic appearance, he couldn't wait to dig out his brain and give it to Zhu Hu to eat.

Zhu Hu also understood the teacher's good intentions, and kept every word of him firmly in his mind.

"In the sixteenth year of Zhizheng, a certain and Kaiping Wang Chang Yuchun and Lu Zhongheng went to conquer Jiqing together.

At that time, there was not much food left in his hand, and there were no supplies to send later, so he had to capture Jiqing and eat Jiqing's grain to survive.

It took a night to calculate the grain, and the soldiers' daily food was determined to be one liter and a half, and finally when the Jiqing was laid, there was only half a jar of grain and rice left in the grain depot.

The world says that I, Liu Bowen, can pinch and calculate, this pinch is bluffing, and it is the most important thing to count in grain science. "

When Liu Bowen finished telling the last practical case.

Zhu Hu also really met Liu Bowen for the first time.

This is an interesting little old man with real skills and real kung fu.

No wonder Lao Zhu can win.

This Ming is a capable person!
