Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhu Biao quickly summoned the three chief assistants, and negotiated with them on the specific dispatch of troops.

It should be said that none of the three capital assistants are just for nothing, and they are extremely efficient in handling affairs. It only took one day to sort out all the abbreviations of the regulations.

Before the official dispatch of troops, Zhu Biao summoned three generals in command of the army in his prince's East Palace on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang, and sent them a poem.

"The general was born with courage and courage, with autumn waters and wild goose feathers on his waist, wind blowing drums, mountains and rivers moving, lightning flashing flags, the sun and the moon are high, the unicorns in the sky are of their own kind, how can the ants in the cave escape, and the day of peace awaits the return, I will be released from the general Tabard."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di came to Zhu Tao's Zhuangzi again.

Zhu Di came here to discuss in the name of the National Commercial Department, and then purchase a batch of potatoes here, and deliver them to the army as soon as possible.

This matter was discussed very smoothly, and Zhu Tao gave him a [-]% discount on the original price, which made Zhu Di call him honest.

And Zhu Yuanzhang came this time because he considered that Zhu Tao had a lot of research in military affairs. Although this expedition to Liaodong was inevitable, he also wanted to see what weapons Zhu Tao could present as a gift.

After all, he had seen before that the two anti-thief facilities that Zhu Tao set up for Zhujiazhuang were simply the equipment of a powerful fortress, and they were even worse.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped making detours, and he asked Zhu Tao directly.

"Tao'er, the imperial court has accepted your suggestion and appointed Marquis Lu Zhongheng of Ji'an as the General of Liao Conquest, Marquis of Jiangxia Zhou Dexing as Deputy General of Liao Conquerment, and Marquis of Changxing Geng Bingwen as the General of Liang Mo. The decree has been issued and the army will set out soon. "

Zhu Tao was very surprised by this arrangement. As expected of Emperor Hongwu, he really had a talent and could make the best use of it.

Zhou Dexing is not good at offensive methods, but his strategy is second to none, while Geng Bingwen is a logistical and defensive talent. If he is given 2000 men to defend the city, he can withstand tens of thousands of attacks.

Such an arrangement is very reasonable.

Before he could say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Father just wanted to ask you, do you have any new inventions that can be used in this battle? After all, in addition to being brave and well-fed, you also need to be well-equipped. That telescope will shine this time, Dad wants to ask if there is anything else available?"

Zhu Tao sighed, thinking that father, the Duke of Fuguo, is becoming more and more on the road, he said: "Father, I knew you would ask this, I have prepared something for you a long time ago, if you give it to The imperial court probably will increase your salary again."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, and immediately asked: "Okay, our Tao'er understands what Daddy is thinking, if you have something good, please bring it out quickly."

After Zhu Tao ordered, Old Tang brought in a sand table with a few people, and carefully placed it on the table that had been lined up earlier.

After placing it, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di took a look and were stunned. The sand table was so beautifully made.

They are all from the background of leading troops to fight, and they are all people who command thousands of troops. They understand the role of maps and sand tables very well.

I have seen too many sand tables, but this one is different. Not only is the workmanship exquisite, but also the mountains, rivers, hills and even basins inside are all lifelike, and the accuracy is excellent, summarizing all the contents of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Even, in the Ming Dynasty, where the mountains have mines, where the land has oil, where there is barrenness, where there is wealth, where the world is peaceful, where there is unrest, and where the enemy's defenses are clearly marked.

This is not a sand table, but a three-dimensional military satellite. Although there was no such concept at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son knew that it was a rare treasure.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes began to shine brightly. Our Tao'er is really a rare genius. Every time he comes here, he can have different surprises.

This sand table is so accurate that even a fool can understand it at a glance, not to mention those generals who have survived a hundred battles. If there was such a sand table when the incident started, the time for the establishment of Ming Dynasty would have to be advanced. not enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, and he said to Zhu Tao: "Tao'er, this is really a treasure, it can even be said to be a rare treasure, where did you get it?"

In fact, Zhu Tao got this thing by signing in two months ago, and it has been of no use. It happened that the court was about to fight, so I took it out and asked my father to donate it to the court.

However, he couldn't say anything about what he got for signing in. It would be strange if his father and fourth cousin looked at him as a monster, so he had to play a sloppy eye and said.

"My boy bought maps of the provinces and state capitals of Ming Dynasty from various merchants, studied them for half a year, and then spent another two months to make this sand table, thinking that it will be useful one day. "

After saying this, Zhu Tao's face didn't change color and his heart skipped a beat. Anyway, the things signed are his own things, so it doesn't matter what you say.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this baby, the more he couldn't put it down, and he couldn't stop praising Zhu Tao, and Zhu Tao felt a little embarrassed when he praised it.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di who was on the side suddenly said: "Cousin, this sand table is so good. If it can be promoted in the army, and every guard can be equipped with one, it will really be a top match. Hurry up! Production, no matter how high the price of this thing is, our Guoshang Division will charge as much as it has."

Seeing Zhu Di's excited face, Zhu Tao really couldn't bear to pour cold water on it, but this sand table is so accurate that it is indeed not a mass-produced product. Even if he really asked himself to do it, it would only take a few months Just made one.

And with his character of not getting up before noon, he must have no patience, so Zhu Tao expressed his rejection very directly.

"Fourth cousin, you should know the truth that things are rare and expensive. This thing is not a telescope. It cannot be mass-produced through an assembly line. Every coordinate on this sand table is extremely accurate. This requires It takes a lot of time and energy, and I can't do it yet, little brother."

When Zhu Di wanted to say something, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said, "Fourth brother, don't push yourself too hard. It's a blessing for the imperial court to have such a good thing. There is a reason for mass production. Don't put me in a hurry." Tao'er is tired."

After hearing what he said, Zhu Tao didn't feel any awkwardness, but Zhu Di thought to himself, you are getting more and more involved in the show, and we sons have to stand aside in front of Zhu Tao, the adopted son.
