In the winter of the eleventh year of Hongwu, Guo Pu, the county magistrate of Kuangbao, did something that made everyone look at him with admiration. He actually paid a stack of treasure money when paying taxes to the government office at the end of the year. What is even more surprising is that the prefect is not only not angry, but also praised him greatly. After the county magistrates asked after inquiring, they found out that Guo Pu privately gave the prefect a set of crystal glass cups, which was said to be crystal clear, which was better than the Hui merchants brought back from Persia. Anyway, the tax silver belongs to the country, and it is not for the prefect. He has such great benefits, so he naturally has to be compatible.

Everyone privately believed that Guo Pu was the prefect of Qi so much that immigrants in various counties died of cold and starvation, only Huairou County, but not one died. Such governance methods are really admirable.

"It's not that Wudianshi, a strange man. It is said that Guo Pu visited the cottage three times and asked him to come out of the mountain. This time, he thought about it for three days and three nights, and realized the method of Persians burning crystal glass. I can see that the rice and grain immigrants from Huairou County are all out on it." Cheng Anping, the magistrate of Wanping County, exclaimed.

"It's not all. Wudianshi smelting, mining, burning lime, and making cement. He was actually a talented person from the club. This time he was so lucky that he got gold. I heard that the gold mine could cost more than ten taels a day. Many of my immigrants went to Huairou County, which was easy to live there. I couldn't bear to see them starve to death, so I let them go. If the court pursued this matter, I would really not be able to deal with the matter." The magistrate of Miyun shook his head and sighed.

After a while, everyone was speechless. Immigrants from all counties fled, and many of them went to Huairou to find things. What they fear most now is that Guo Pu was serious and sent refugees back one by one, so that the people starved to death on their own land. They couldn't bear it. But the small official with a sesame size had a monthly salary of only a few taels of silver. If he didn't accept bribes, he could care about so much. He blamed himself for not having the luck of Guo Pu, and he picked up a God of Wealth from somewhere and turned stones into gold.

Seeing that the magistrate personally sent Guo Pu out of the mansion, everyone greeted him. Lord Guo Pu might be promoted to the prefectural chief another day. If you don’t quickly get caught, then when will you wait?

Just after the end of the New Year, Wu'anguo received a heavy package, full of snowflakes of silver. The silver was given by Chen Xing, a native of Shanxi. In autumn, Wu'anguo exchanged silver for the thousand taels of treasure money in his hand. This time he returned all of them. The Chen family was a wealthy family in Hongtong County, and this time the government almost destroyed the family. When he arrived in Huairou, he exchanged the silver from Wu'anguo. Instead of farming, the Chen family rented a shop in the city and made a business. Seeing that Huairou County encouraged industry, Chen Xing opened a fireworks workshop and hired some Shanxi skilled craftsmen living in the city. The fireworks he made were well-known and sold to Nanjing. It is said that they could bloom in different colors in the sky. During the Chinese New Year, no one wants to have auspiciousness, and the ground is rich, Chen Xing returned the book back then. He did not want to owe others favors, so he came to pay back the money.

"Actually, you don't owe me what I have. Didn't I exchange my money for your treasure money?" Wu Anguo didn't want to accept it, so he shirked.

"Dianshi, please stop telling jokes. How much Baochao is worth? I, Chen Xing, feels like a mirror in my heart. I will never thank you for your kindness. The life of the Chen family is saved by you. In the future, as long as Lord Dianshi tells me, one of my Chen family frowns, and is not a descendant of the Chen family." Chen Xing gave a deep gift, put down the package, and said goodbye. There are several similar stories about repaying kindness. Shanxi people seem to have a natural business mind. They are all open to many small business deals in the county. After making money, they all go to the families who bought their own Baochao to pay off their debts. The simple style is very different from the 21st century.

Yixue is now based on the advice of Wu Anguo and Vice President Shisanlang, business (management and accounting), Yuxue (mining), craftsmanship (smelting and manufacturing), martial arts and military tactics. These subjects are considered electives and students can learn them at will. Most teachers hired past caravans from the country. Scholarships are set up among students. Any grades of any subject are unanimously recognized by all teachers and students in the class can enjoy a scholarship of five taels per month. If you have any learning and gains or inventions, you can get more. The school's academic style has risen sharply. For those issues that everyone cannot understand, the school stipulates that anyone can express their opinions, regardless of the superiority of teachers and students, so the school has a strong debate style.

Shisanlang's name is Cao Zhen, and his courtesy name is Ziyou. He is nicknamed Shisanlang. Because his nickname is too famous, no one remembers it. He was originally the son of a maritime merchant. He was born in a vain. He studied martial arts since he was a child. He liked to travel in a vain when he was young and killed dozens of pirates. Later, because he was disagreeing with his family's legitimate brother, he traveled far away. He once worked as a caravan bodyguard and went west of the Golden Horde in the Western Regions with the Persians. He was very familiar with the geography of the Western Regions. He understood the laws of various countries because of his business needs. In the tenth year of Hongwu, he came to Huairou with the caravan to buy iron tools and met the county.

The city's Yixue School held a notice to hire a teacher with a high salary, and he stayed there. He jokingly called it the "University of Florence" in the East (Note: established in 1321). Wu Anguo and he hit it off at first sight, calling him the first person in the Ming Dynasty to open their eyes to see the world, and he relied heavily on him. Many of the management plans of Hanyuan Trading Company were all due to his contributions. Later, Wu Anguo was busy and handed over all the school affairs to him. I believe that this young man who had been to the West would bring some new things to this place, and Shisanlang really lived up to the expectations of Wu Anguo.

Shisanlang believed that "wealthy and not practicing martial arts is like a child walking on the street with a brick in his arms, and sooner or later he would be robbed." So he took the lead in proposing to open a martial arts degree in the school. He received the support of Wu'anguo. Later, he opened a department such as Shang, Yu, and Ye. The business teacher was actually a big cannibal who was brought from the caravan named Muhammad, who could speak fluent Chinese. The school size has doubled the size of last year. Some unintentional scholars and losers also chose to come here to study in order to earn some money to support their families. Usually, they can study for a few months.

Various businesses have made good jobs. The scholars have complained about this, but they are holding crystal glasses from Wu'anguo in their hands, furniture from Wu'anguo in their houses, tap water from Wu'anguo at home, and women wear new colorful satin from Huairou County. They can receive a lot of dividends when investing in Wu'anguo's industries every once in a while, and the voices of opposition are reduced, and gradually become praise. "Although these tricks are not as good as the Spring and Autumn Period, someone must do it, otherwise what should we use," the scholars think so.

Jiang Ye and the orphans from Shanxi settled in the academy. Zhang Zhengxin asked a kind-hearted woman to take care of their daily life according to Wu Anguo's requirements. Jiang Ye's father was originally a scholar, so he laid a good foundation for their brother and sister. He made rapid progress in this school. Shisanlang was very fond of this and taught him to study and practice martial arts every day. The child without parents matured early, and this child was only twelve or three years old, and he actually had an adult-like behavior. His sister Jiang Min also reached the age of foot binding, and the woman who took care of her had to bind him.

Jiang Min cried and refused to let him get married. Jiang Ye, who is the elder brother, actually ordered Jiang Min to abide by the wife's words. That day, Wu Anguo came to visit them at school. Seeing this, he asked Jiang Ye why his sister had to bind her feet. Jiang Ye said very maturely: "In this way, she can marry a good family in the future. I, as a elder brother, can rest assured and give my parents an explanation." Wu Anguo touched his little head and asked him gently, "If a man doesn't look at the various benefits of your sister, he only cares whether she binds her feet, and gives your sister to such a man, are you relieved?"

Jiang Ye tilted his head and thought, "Of course I won't marry my sister to such a blind man." As soon as he finished speaking, he understood Wu Anguo's intentions and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your advice." He turned around and ran away to apologize to his sister. He gave up the matter of foot binding. The trend of the daughter of Huairou County's non-foot binding began from then on and finally spread, making the old masters heartbroken. That's a later story, so I won't mention it here.

Shisanlang and Wu Anguo had privately discussed martial arts skills, and mocked Wu Anguo for the sword skills he learned in the workers' amateur sports team in the 21st century, believing that Wu Anguo was not as powerful as he was, he was not his ten moves. But with this strength, ordinary martial artists could only escape in front of Wu Anguo's sword. He praised Wu Anguo's karate, believing that: it was a big combination and a unique lineage, which was a strange martial arts. After knowing each other for a long time, Shisanlang threw Wu Anguo a knife technique, saying that it was the most appropriate.

With Wu'anguo's natural brute force, Wu'anguo opened it and found that it was the "Spring and Autumn Sword Technique". The Spring and Autumn Sword Technique is the most popular horse sword technique in the army since the Tang Dynasty. It emphasizes the strength of the waist and the unity of the people and horses. Wu'anguo is a martial artist who often practices in his spare time and makes his entry very fast. He gradually became a thirteen-year-old man no longer has his opponent. He admired his understanding very much, "It's a pity that you have never met a famous teacher, otherwise you can definitely establish a school." After a contest with Wu'anguo, Shisanlang said this.

At the end of the 11th year of Hongwu, the magistrate of Huairou recruited more than 4,000 unemployed refugees from all over the country, repaired the roads connected to Huairou County and the provincial capital and several streets in the county, and laid concrete. Since then, merchants have been transporting carts that transport goods every day are almost connected from the end to the end. "Don't put the money in the warehouse and rot, it should be used for the people." Guo Pu's advice to Wu'anguo has always been obedient. He believes that instead of paying more silver to seek credit, it is better to hide wealth from the people.

So I spent a lot of money on municipal construction. The market became more prosperous in this way, with crystal glass (glass) vessels, steel, iron, wood, porcelain, and dyes flowing out from here. Many industries no longer need to be managed by Wu'anguo himself, and young people from craftsmen can stand alone. Those colorful dyes were extracted from the coking waste - coal tar by Yixue students under the guidance of Wu'anguo (

Note: Anilin Zi, it turned out that in 1856, the British Pan Qin accidentally proposed it from coal tar, and this time it was directly pirated by Wu'anguo students). Some local gentry also put down their airs under Guo Pu's persuasion and personally served as managers of some departments. In this way, Wu'anguo was much more relaxed and could take more time to run his school and make his inventions (actually a plagiarism of later generations). All the new things are no longer the students assigned by Wu'anguo himself.

The production was posted in front of the county government office and the price was sold. The higher the price was obtained. When merchants from all over the country saw it, they bought one of them, opened their own industries nearby, and made a fortune. Soon, various business companies in the county broke through like wheat seedlings after the rain. Many of these had little to do with Wu'an Kingdom. For example, Xu Ji pawnshop, a native of Xuzhou, actually opened five consecutive accounts from the provincial capital to the county town, and they were doing big money.

Within five years, the population of this county is estimated to reach 200,000, and it will be promoted to Zhongxian immediately. The yamen runners think so. After being promoted to Zhongxian, they may not make much money, but they feel proud.

In the late summer, just as Guo Puhe planned to expand the small road from the county to the township into roads so that the people could walk, Wang Hao came to inform him that Xu Dadu of Wei sent someone to write a letter.

Xu Da, Duke of Wei, is the commoner brother of the current emperor, and is the leader of the three dukes. He is in charge of the military and civilians of Datong provinces. He is in court on weekdays and only comes to Peking during wartime. Guo Pu, a small official with a sesame size, has never expected to be favored by this world-renowned hero. He dared not be negligent and hurriedly invited the scholar to come in.

The person who wrote the book was wearing the clothes of the banner master (Ten-master) with a hint of heroic spirit between his eyebrows and his words were very polite, which made Guo Pu very fond of him. After receiving the letter, he was even more surprised that the general Xu Da actually invited the county magistrate and Lord Dianshi to the army to discuss. Guo Pu quickly responded, took out the silver and gave it to the book, picked up a pen to compile the book, and told Xu Da to visit the army tomorrow. Then he sent someone to invite Wu'anguo and Li Shanping to come back to discuss.

In Wu'anguo and Li Shanping discussed the law of the Ming Dynasty with Shisanlang in the school. According to Wu'anguo's view, the law is not for governing the people, but for protecting the people. Only laws that formulate and stipulate the rights of the people are the real law. Otherwise, it is just a matter of the ruler's use of the name of the law to oppress the people, such as this great immigration. Now the laws of the Ming Dynasty are only at ease with which the people give orders, but do not love the people, so they cannot be called law.

In the face of the law, everyone is equal. Before the conclusive evidence was provided, all suspects were innocent. How could the other two accept these 21st century views of the great rebellion and betrayal? They fought red. He heard that the county magistrate had an urgent matter to invite him, so he quickly said goodbye. However, Shisanlang recorded what Wu Anguo had just said, saying that he should use Western laws as a reference and carefully consider it to see if there is really a law mentioned by Wu Anguo in this world so that Wu Anguo can be convinced.

In April of the summer of the 11th year of Hongwu, Yuansijun Aiyoushi Lidala died, and his son Tuogusi Temur was sent. His prime minister Lu'er, barbarian Halazhang, duke Fuhuochi, and Pingzhang Wan did not flower, Nai'er Buhua, and the Privy Council Aizu, who was a magistrate of the Privy Council, supported the public in Yingchang and Helin. Hu Weiyong, left prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Ning, and chief chief Tu Jie wrote a letter together, asking Zhu Yuanzhang to order the northern expedition, enthrone Langjuxu, and conquer the hometown of China. Zhu Yuanzhang welcomed him. He ordered Xu Da as the commander, Fu Youde and Tang He to take 300,000 troops to go out to the frontier. He did not ask about military generals but listened to civil officials. The last general Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong refused to listen, and he was so angry that he couldn't get up.

"What kind of person is this Huairou Wu'anguo? It's not easy to conquer Ziyou's child and follow him with all his heart." Xu Da Duke of Wei was sitting in the Beiping tower, unable to help but guess that what he was holding was a letter written by Cao Ziyou. Cao Ziyou was Shisanlang, and he was Xu Da's distant cousin. No one knew about it, and he himself was unwilling to borrow Xu Da's name to show off. This time Xu Da led his army to go out to the frontier, knowing that he had been to the Western Regions and wanted to bring him with him and make some military achievements to shine. Unexpectedly, Shisanlang accepted the letter from Xu Da to him, and actually politely rejected Xu Da's kindness and said that he wanted to establish a career in that small county, which made Xu Da very puzzled.

"I was idle since I was a child. In recent years, I have been wandering under the forest and spring, cultivating myself and becoming more lazy to hear the sound of killing. Moreover, a real man may not be on the battlefield to establish a career. In the past, Ziling fished on the riverside, and Guangwu's hegemony began; Wuhou did not come out of Nanyang, and Zhaolie's world was divided into three parts. My uncle did it to break the enemy's boundaries and brother Wu, and he had his own strengths and it was difficult to distinguish between the superiors and inferiors. If I want to be at peace for a long time, I think it is not about the military, but about the politics... Xu Da grabbed the letter at hand and couldn't help reading the key points again.

"Ziyu, this child is really like his master, Brother Uncle Ye, you have someone to succeed." Xu Da put down the letter sign, sighed, and the image of an old friend appeared in front of him. When people get old, they are a little nostalgic, even a great hero like Xu Da is no exception.

Yang Shuye was the teacher of Shisanlang. He was known as Yang Buyi, a man in the martial arts world. He was named after holding a sheathless iron sword. He was wearing a very clean cloth robbery at any time. He was a hero and was a hero. When he was young, he had a grace to Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da raised an army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. The people of Jiangnan secretly funded the silver that the uprising army secretly were also secretly escorted by Yang Buyi. On the road, he was ambushed by a group of giant thieves in Maoshan. Yang Buyi was shot in three arrows and was killed more than 40 times. He still killed several thieves, protected the silver cart and fled out, and sent the silver to the rebel army as scheduled. Zhu Yuanzhang thanked him with heavy metal. Yang Buyi cut off a corner of the silver, took it, bought a new long gown in the market, and laughed. After Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he hired masters from all over the world to protect the palace. He invited them several times, but he refused. He couldn't help but feel very strong.

Angry, one day, he learned that Yang Buyi had settled in Baguazhou and wanted to follow the story of Duke Wen of Jin and Jie Zitui, so he sent a navy to surround Baguazhou and ordered Lan Yu to invite him. At that time, Yang Buyi was playing chess with his friend and asked Lan Yu to wait. After the game was over, he calculated the number of things. Buyi took the case and drank it all and drank it. He said to his friend, "You asked me to teach you this sword technique, but Yang has always hidden his own privately. Today, he will show you one by one. After speaking, he pulled up his sword and danced under the autumn tree. He was slow and then fast, and gradually couldn't see the figure clearly. The sword energy was scattered, and the fallen leaves were falling like rain. He was all obsessed with Lan Yu and others. After a moment, the sword stopped and stood under the tree with a sword. When Lan Yu and others came to their senses, they went forward to explore, and they were already exhausted. It turned out that they had broken their meridians when dancing the sword, and they would rather die than be bound by others.

"The whole world is going straight, can it be Wang Tu, Brother Uncle Ye, Xu envy you for being carefree now?" Thinking of these past events, Xu Da's eyes gradually felt a little sore. The emperor is becoming more and more dangerous now. In spring, he heard that Shanxi immigrants were on the road with their bodies on their backs. He regretted the rash immigration in his heart. He dragged the Minister of Revenue, who was the first to immigrate out of the court and died in court. Although he claimed to be a commoner brother with him, he repeatedly tested whether he had any intention of rebellion. One day, he got drunk and dragged himself to the dragon bed.

Fortunately, I was always cautious and couldn't get up after waking up, so I was spared from the difficulties. However, those civil officials were afraid that the world would not be in chaos. They fought against military generals every day, and spoke out about war with scholarly spirit. Now, this summer, I heard that the Mongolian emperor died, so I immediately went to the book and asked to send troops north and the nine provinces to unify. It's a pity that the emperor, who had been on the throne for a long time, had lost his judgment. After such civil officials, they sent his governor to the frontier. If they didn't go, they were disloyal to Your Majesty. If they went, they were not prepared enough, but the outcome was unpredictable.

Suddenly, I heard a loud shout of horses neighing outside the camp. My personal soldiers came to the tent and reported that Guo Pu, the magistrate of Huairou County, and Wu'anguo, entrusted 100,000 kilograms of fine steel as a gift and came as promised.

"What a smart county magistrate. I can guess that there will be a war at once. I will send the steel to me so that I can't ask you. No wonder I can let more than 10,000 immigrants die." Xu Da asked his personal soldiers to invite him quickly, and his favor for Guo Pu became a little more.

After entering the tent, the ceremony was over. Xu Da ordered his personal soldiers to bring in a seat and have tea. Guo Pu did not dare to sit there. He turned around and was about to signal Wu Anguo to be cautious, but found that the latter had already sat down carelessly and was looking up at Duke Wei. Guo Pu was so scared that he secretly regretted that he had forgotten to teach this brother the rules in the officialdom.

Xu Da didn't care, and also looked up and down at Wu'anguo. The old and the young looked around, and then looked at each other in a short while.

"A man said that the classics of Huaruo's classics are hidden in a tiger with his bare hands. When I saw it today, I was indeed heroic. Since ancient times, heroes have been young, and this is not false." Xu Da laughed.

"I have heard that Marshal Xu has raised an army to expel the Tartars and restored my country to China. Today I can see it, which fulfills my wish for young children." Wu Anguo answered some compliments, which was also his thoughts. When he was studying history books in school, Xu Da was one of the ancients he admired the most. When he met in person today, he naturally felt like he was chasing stars.

Hey, you Wudianshi, when did you learn to flatter? Guo Pu saw that the two sides were getting closer, so he put his heart back in his stomach. He carefully pricked up his ears and answered Xu Da's question.

Xu Da did not hide it, and told them that Cao Ziyou was his nephew, thanking Guo. Wu thanked Ziyou for taking care of this year. Then he asked about killing tigers and killing dragons, establishing Yixue and opening factories. Guo Pu and Wu Anguo saw that he had no airs, and also talked in detail. When he saw that he had no airs, they were happy that Xu Da smiled. When Xu Da heard that Wu Anguo had returned from traveling abroad, he was as if he had obtained a treasure, so he hurriedly asked about Mongolia. Fortunately, Wu Anguo was prepared for his life experience and lies, and he has been paying attention to inquire about the world from past merchants in the past two years. The customs, mountains and geography outside the border were answered in a sensible manner. Xu Da was so happy that he stroked his beard straight, and his words were already showing the intention of recruiting him.

After talking for a long time, the two of them spent the meal with Xu Da at noon. The personal soldiers kept looking at the two of them, and they were surprised that these two small officials with the size of sesame and mung beans had used some magic, which was so favored by my marshal. Wu and Li saw that Xu Da was the most powerful minister, holding all the soldiers, and they usually ate only ordinary meals, but they did not have any wine to accompany each other, and they also secretly admired them.

When talking about military affairs after dinner, Guo Pu was a literati, but he didn't know that. Xu Da was determined to take the Wu'anguo exam, so he asked him to predict what percentage of the success or failure of this trip to the frontier accounted for.

Wu Anguo raised his courage and asked, "The general has been in a military life. Can you tell the young son how different it is from the Central Plains when fighting outside the border?" He didn't know that there was a war. Yesterday, he discussed with Guo Pu, Li Shanping and others for a long time before he came to the conclusion that he would use troops outside the border in the near future. When he went back and thought about it carefully, he always felt that the good and bad luck were uncertain. Today he heard that 300,000 troops went out of the border, which strengthened his inference.

"The Central Plains are mostly battles to attack cities and villages. The roads are complex and the population is large. Most of them are fighting in the wild outside the border. The terrain is empty and sparsely populated. It is said that you are not afraid of the Tartars' decisive battle, but are afraid of the Tartars running around." Xu Da pondered for a brief moment and concluded.

"Since Mongolia withdrew from the Central Plains, our dynasty has fought with him for more than a hundred times, but he has not been able to control the outside world. Can the marshal know why?"

"The Tartars fled east and west, and when our army returned, they came back. It was like hitting cotton with heavy hammers, and they couldn't use any force." Thinking about his governor to Peiping and Shanxi for many years, but he was unable to open up his territory outward, Xu Da couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his words.

"That's true. The Central Plains are fighting, with dense villages and people's hearts facing me. Our army has no shortage of supplies. The battle outside the frontier is sparsely populated, and our army has nowhere to supply. The 300,000 people are consumed, and the daily food and grass is no less than one million, and the food and fodder brought by our army will be exhausted in a moment. Therefore, we must fight quickly and quickly. The longer the time is, the more unfavorable it is for our army. If I were Tuogustimur, I abandoned Yingchang, Helin and other important towns, and went around with you on the grassland, and then disturbed your food route with a raft. Anyway, the property of the Mongols is nothing more than felt tents, cattle and sheep, and can be taken away together. When you have enough food and retreat, you will follow you and will definitely be defeated."

"Ah~." Xu Da's hand shook and the cup of tea splashed out, obviously very surprised. In recent years, he has not easily spoken out of the frontier. He is concerned about this every day. He did not expect that Wu'anguo would think of a way that an ordinary minor official could come up with. There were many old generals under Tuogusi Temur's command, so how could he not know? Thinking of this, his expression became heavier.

"In fact, with a long-time general like the Marshal, he did not need so many soldiers to fight the Mongols in a decisive battle. There are no famous cities and passes on the grassland. In addition to the enemy's opportunity, the war is actually a logistics. In the case of poor logistics, too many soldiers are a bad thing." Wu Anguo couldn't bear to look at his idol and supported Xu Da and said, "It's better to streamline these 300,000 troops, acquire 100,000 elite troops, and buy good horses and train day and night. Looking for opportunities to take advantage of the Mongols' unpreparedness and soldiers coming to the city, it is enough to destroy the country in one fell swoop. Now, the new death of the king must be prepared for me, which is not an opportunity to go out of the frontier." Wu Anguo didn't know much about the war in the era of cold weapons, but he read too many military works in the 21st century and was deeply impressed by the saying "Modern war is actually a logistical support". Although he was brought here, every sentence in Xu Da's ears is all the most reasonable quotes.

"Training 100,000 people is enough to wipe out the world," Xu Da remembered that Chang Yuchun said so. Unfortunately, Brother Chang died, otherwise he would have persuaded the emperor. Xu Da sighed again and whispered: "You only know one, not the other. The men of our Chinese dynasty have been interested in literature and neglecting military affairs since the Zhao Song Dynasty. They are not as skilled as Mongolians in their bows and horses. They often lose to one in the five. If they were not forced to survive by the Mongols and had the same desire to unite against the enemy, they might not have been able to drive the Mongols out of the Central Plains. The Mongols are good at bows and horses.

Our army is good at firearms, but the speed of firearms is not as fast as that of bows and arrows. The Shenji Camp (musketeer) cannot fight alone, so he must use a spear and a shield to protect it. He is complemented by elite cavalry. Therefore, fighting with the Mongols must coordinate and cooperate with various troops to fight less. Now, Tugustimur has more than 200,000 people, and few soldiers cannot compete with him. If there are too many soldiers, the food and grass will be insufficient. The victory or defeat is indeed unpredictable. This time, there are too many generals who do not want to fight. After hearing the scholar's words, the emperor pressed down and it will be difficult to violate the holy order. I can only do my best."

‘Just do your best, this is 300,000 lives. Wouldn’t you argue with reason? Wu Anguo raised his eyebrows, and he was very dissatisfied with the hero who swept the world so cowardly. This sentence came to his mouth and swallowed it again.

What a smart and skillful person Xu Da was. Seeing that Wu'anguo wanted to speak but stopped, he understood what he was going to say, and sighed and said, "Brother, I must blame me for not giving advice. Do you know the story of Wu Hou blocking the first lord from attacking Wu and being left in Shu. If Wu Hou had to walk with the first lord, even if Shu was defeated, he might not have been injured. Xu was not talented and brought these 300,000 people, he might not have won, but he could also be able to return to the entire army. Now Cao Guogong (Li Wenzhong) is ill, Duke Wei Guogong (Deng Yu) is new, and Siping Marquis (Mu Ying) has not returned to the west. If he angers the emperor, change the emperor

If others lead the troops, I am afraid that these 300,000 people will not be fully integrated. Once the vitality is damaged, all the civil officials will teach the emperor to build the Great Wall to defend themselves. Then our Ming soldiers and horses will disappear from then on. Now the Central Plains have been in peace for a long time, and the wind of valuing literature and neglecting military forces has gradually risen. In this case, the Mongols have become a great disaster. On the day when the iron hoof goes south, the creatures will be devastated again. My brother has lived overseas for a long time, but I don’t know how to kill the Mongols. Xu’s honor and disgrace are small, and the fortune of the Central Plains is great. He really dares to show off his temporary pleasure. He fights for the name of a loyal minister and breaks the mountains and rivers again!"

So that's it, no wonder the general who swept half of the Central Plains could not see this success or failure. Wu'anguo finally understood the mind of this famous general for all ages. Historical books record that Zhu Yuanzhang killed his meritorious officials in his later years. Xu Da knew that he would die, but he did not rebel. It turned out that he was not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, but fearing that the war would start again. The Mongols took advantage of the situation. This kind of mentality was much higher than that of those corrupt officials who spoke verbally about patriotism every day but secretly transferred the country's property to foreign countries. Thinking of this, he stood up and bowed and said, "Boy Menglang, thank you for the marshal's advice." His heart felt hot and his nose felt a little sour.

Xu Da waved his hand and told him not to be too polite. He said softly: "You and I hit it off at first sight, so I told you some things that shouldn't have said to you. I feel more happy. I have more than twenty cavalry to fight for half my life. I am not a timid person. The two brothers are all several times more talented and knowledgeable. If they are pillars of the country in the future, remember to weigh the pros and cons of things when they encounter them, and do not act voluntarily."

Wu Anguo didn't want Xu Da to be under too much pressure. He thought for a while and said, "The boy's previous defeat was just a matter of paper. He was really reckless. There may not be no chance of victory this time. If the marshal takes steps and advances slowly, he will send a small number of cavalry to plunder the cattle and sheep of the Mongolian herders every day. After a long time, the Mongolians can't stand it, so they will naturally have to fight you."

After listening to Wu Anguo's advice, Xu Da knew that he had a kind heart, and smiled and said, "I didn't expect to win and expect to lose first. This is the foundation of becoming a good general. Brother Wu doesn't have to be too humble. After Xu has been dealing with the Tartars for so many years, I may not be able to win, and the Tartars may not be able to get any benefit from me." In just a few seconds, he had already walked out of the shadow and restored his smile to the point of being calm and unlucky.

Then we talked about some mechanical manufacturing. What Wu'anguo learned in the 21st century is like the reincarnation of Lu Ban. Xu Da had heard of the name of Wu'anguo's skillful craftsman, and he personally confirmed it today. He admired it very much. He called his personal soldiers and took a musket and handed it to Wu'anguo, telling him that it was a Thunder gun, which was supervised by general Jiao Yu. The speed was slightly less than the launch of the bow and arrow, and it was much more powerful. Let Wu'anguo take it back and study whether it could be improved. "If this gun is accurate and speed comparable to that of the bow and arrow, why do our Ming army horses need 100,000, 30,000 enough to sweep the outside of the frontier, and 50,000 enough to hit the Golden Horde, so that Genghis Khan's descendants completely destroyed the country and destroyed the seeds." Xu Da solemnly wrapped the musket to Wu'anguo himself, and his eyes, which were like an ancient well without waves, showed a look of enthusiasm.

Before leaving, Xu Da personally sent two people out of the tent. Wu Anguo saw that Xu Da's hair was gray and he thought that I was an amateur in war and the firearms were not too late to improve now. However, what I brought from the 21st century would definitely be helpful to Xu Da. Thinking of this, I had an idea and took out the package I put outside the tent before entering the tent. From it, I took out the Russian high-power telescope I brought from the 20th century and handed it to Xu Da. He said: "This is something that my younger generation brought back from overseas. I can't use it normally, so I gave it to the Grand Marshal, hoping that it can help the Grand Marshal." Then he carefully demonstrated the usage for Xu Da.

Xu Da took it and put it in front of him, looked into the distant mountains, and after brushing it, the grass and trees on the mountain were all pulled in front of him, and even the goat's beard could be seen clearly. He was overjoyed and knew that he had this thing and had a few more chances of winning. Just as he was about to thank him, Wu Anguo took out his serial handshake, along with the crossbow box, and the drawings drawn in the craftsman camp, and handed it to Xu Da: "This is my self-defense weapon. You can fire three pieces at a time, within fifty steps, and you can penetrate heavy armor. The pattern is also in the box. The steel used for the materials has been given today. The commander can still make it, and a special group of crossbow soldiers to shoot in turn when encountering the enemy. No matter how skilled the Mongolian bow and horses are, they may not be as fast as this thing."

Xu Da reached out to take it. He was an expert in the battlefield. He knew at a glance that this thing could be used for great use. He immediately sent an order to make it by the craftsmen following the camp. After receiving this favor from Wu'anguo, nothing was around him. After pondering for a moment, he asked his personal soldiers to take a horse and handed the reins to Wu'anguo's hands, and said, "Brother Wu's figure must be an ordinary Mongolian horse that can't carry you. This is a good horse sold overseas. The emperor gave it to me last year, so I gave it to Brother Yu.

Brother” Wu'anguo saw that this horse was much taller than an ordinary Mongolian horse, and it grew more than half a body, and his whole body was pitch black and there was no trace of distortion. He knew that this was a good horse that was chosen from thousands of miles away. Just as he was about to refuse, Xu Da said again: "I originally wanted to keep my brothers in the camp to build something, but my brothers are geniuses. I must not be able to do it because of others. If you force yourself to keep you, you will miss your future. This horse is called Ben Lei. Brother Yu wishes him to carry you as soon as possible and make great achievements."

Seeing this, Wu Anguo could no longer say a word of refusal. The key to being a real man is to be intimate. Although he had been with Xu Da for only half a day, he had been with Xu Da for several years. He was about to get on the horse, but Xu Da called paper and pen and wrote a handwritten order, and took Wu Anguo to co-organize the military equipment of Peking, which was cheap. Wu Anguo knew that Xu Da had seen these swords and weapons he had made, and was afraid that someone would cause trouble for him in the future, so he left a way out for him in advance. He felt grateful in his heart, took it and put it in his arms solemnly, no longer thanked him, and rode away.
