After Su Wu and Yang Shiqi left, Zhu Gaotian secretly came to the military camp again.
And the general he met this time was none other than the cavalry battalion among the five military camps under his command, General Chen Yulin!
"General, please see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"In this army, there are only two of you and me. Why don't you stand up and speak to us for such a grand ceremony?"
"Your Majesty, the situation is different now. You have ascended the throne and become the emperor. You are no longer the prince and prince you were back then!"
Chen Yulin didn't dare to do anything disrespectful.
"The due etiquette of a monarch and his ministers must still be observed. Moreover, at that time, the general did not understand the etiquette. I hope your majesty will not blame the general!"
After hearing what Chen Yulin said, Zhu Zhugaoyan immediately turned serious and pretended to be angry.
"Oh, you're still hanging out with me, aren't you? Today I will ask you to stand up and talk to me as usual, otherwise I will be really angry!"
"Hey, Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me like this. The general is just a little Cavalry General..."
Chen Yulin looked aggrieved. He obviously didn't do anything. He just knelt here to say hello. Your Majesty was going to be angry. You really have an ulterior motive.
"What's wrong? You still think your official position is too young, don't you? Do you want me to reward you with a protector of the country and a general who governs the country?"
"No, no, no, how dare Mo Jiang have such thoughts?"
Chen Yulin was shocked.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I came to you today just to discuss something with you!"
call……
Seeing Zhu Gaotian's gloating look, Chen Yulin breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty has finally become your Majesty. Maybe he really can't be like before...
"If your Majesty has something to do, just give him an order. Obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty. What's more, you are the emperor and the general is a minister. How dare you have any intention of disobeying it?"
The general is a sharp sword in your majesty's hand. As long as your majesty points to it, the general will move forward without hesitation. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, the general will not hesitate!
"Don't be so stubborn. In fact, I am really negotiating with you this time. If you don't want to accept it, it doesn't matter if you refuse. I won't blame you!"
Zhu Gaoyan looked at Chen Yulin. This was the general he brought out with his own hands. Although his bravery and strategy were not very high, he was a very obedient general, and his sincerity definitely came first!
Didn't Han Xin once say that I only need ten generals who are completely obedient to me, and I can command an army of millions?
Chen Yulin is one of Zhu Gaoxi's subordinates.
"Military orders are coming down like a mountain, your Majesty just gives orders!"
"General Chen, I know your sincerity, but you are in charge of tens of thousands of troops. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about these soldiers under you, right?"
Speaking of this, Chen Yulin rolled his eyes,
"Your Majesty, is it possible that you really want to send us on a very dangerous mission?"
Chen Yulin thought for a long time. Now that the Ming Dynasty is stable domestically, its prestige abroad has reached an unprecedented height. Foreign enemies will not invade easily. There are no tasks that are so dangerous now!
Even if he tried hard, he couldn't think of any mission that could cause heavy losses to the cavalry battalion he led.
"I have just received a report from the border, saying that the remnants of Waci are uniting with several other tribes and countries to prepare to launch an attack on Liangzhou in our Western Region this winter!"
Those nomads are going south again. Don't they know that the army in your Majesty's hands is enough to beat the crap out of them?
Are they here to die?
Haven't you been beaten enough before?
Zhu Gaoyan looked at Chen Yulin's expression and guessed what he was thinking.
"I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. Do you know when I went to conquer Wasac before the death of the late emperor?"
"The general will remember that when His Majesty heard the news of the death of the late emperor, he immediately sent his troops back to the court. At that time, there seemed to be a problem with our supplies!"
Zhu Gaoying nodded.
"Yes, not only has there been a problem, but it has been a big problem. Do you know how much food and money is left in the treasury now?"
"The general doesn't know this!"
How could the generals in the army know about these internal affairs?
"In March, even if we can't afford the war now, according to the minimum expenditure, food and money, we can only last until March next year at most!"
So fast?
Hearing this, Chen Yulin was stunned. Logically speaking, the funds and food in the treasury should be able to maintain the country's operations for at least a whole year. It's not winter yet, so... what about this year's taxes and food?
"Moreover, on the day I ascend the throne, I will grant amnesty to the whole world and exempt from taxes for three years!"
At this time, the Ming Dynasty's treasury was really empty.
"If we only use the money and food in the treasury, if the enemy comes fiercely, we may not be able to survive even half a month!"
"Then what your Majesty means is..."
It is simply impossible to fight a war in this situation unless enough military pay and food are collected from the people!
But His Majesty will never do such a thing!
"So, in the battle to defend the city of Liangzhou, I need you to lead your men deep behind enemy lines to disrupt their supplies and make them make strategic mistakes!"
"During this period, I will never have any contact with you. All judgments and decisions are yours!"
Chen Yulin led an army and was alone in Mobei. He was unable to make any contact with the central court, and he was also unable to obtain any supplies from within the court.
This is a very stressful task!
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the dangerous ministers will not be qualified for the job, and I am even more afraid that I will live up to your Majesty's expectations for the humble ministers!"
If it was only Chen Yulin, Zhu Gaoyan sighed. He had already thought of this result and did not feel too disappointed.
If the command is good, these tens of thousands of people will play a role in turning the tide of the war. If it is not good, then the lives of these tens of thousands of people will be wasted.
This is Zhu Gaotian's gamble, because he knows that Liangzhou cannot tolerate any mistakes!
If everything develops in the direction of evil, then Zhu Gaotian may become a tyrant and a coward.
"But Mo Jiang knows better. If Mo Jiang doesn't go there, I'm afraid no one is more suitable than Mo Jiang!"
Chen Yulin suddenly raised his head, his eyes extremely firm.
"So, the general is willing to go!"
"The general will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust in the general. Even if the general is incompetent, he will definitely have a few beasts on his back!"
Although Chen Yulin's hands were trembling at this time, he understood that someone must step forward at this time, and looking at the Ming Dynasty, there was no one more suitable than him.
