Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Yao Guangxiao stared at Zhu Tao, he really couldn't understand Zhu Tao's brain circuit.

"You're saying that as long as you conquer Annan, you can pass through Annan as a passage, and then go to attack that place called America."

When Zhu Tao talked about his excitement, he found a map and drew on it with a blue pencil.

"Actually, if Annan is defeated, it can be spread outward through this channel, and then used as a springboard to attack the Americas. The territory of America is roughly equivalent to the size of Ming Dynasty today."

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao was completely overwhelmed. You know, if what Zhu Tao said was true, it would be equivalent to more than doubling the territory of Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, this is an inestimable feat. If you can really do it, it will be immortal."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Tao wiped the corner of his mouth and said with some aftertaste.

"Yeah, if America is brought down, I won't have to worry about eating chili. Recently, there is no chili to eat in hot pot. It's really annoying."

Yao Guangxiao just picked up the tea and took a sip, but after hearing Zhu Tao's words, he almost spit out the tea.

The reason why people want to expand abroad is to expand the territory and make great achievements.

But His Majesty the Protector of the King, he attacked Annan and even conquered the Americas in order to eat a bite of pepper.

This prince is really too weird, so Yao Guangxiao didn't know what to say for a while.

"Then how do you plan to implement this plan, Your Highness?"

Zhu Tao shook his head, but said lightly.

"I don't need to do it myself. I think I'll let Xie Jin go for it, so that the children can learn a lot."

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help being surprised. Although he said he was a smart kid, he was only 12 years old after all.

If you want him to gain military merit on the battlefield, at worst, let him follow a certain general to do logistics, which is safe and can be rewarded based on merit.

But if he was asked to be the chief general of the first army, it would be a bit difficult for him.

Besides, I am afraid that others will not be convinced, after all, I am too young to be convinced.

Zhu Tao just chuckled and said to Yao Guangxiao.

"This matter is settled like this. If there is something to do, the disciple will do his best. I will go to see the father and ask him to appoint Xie Jin as the main general of this expedition against Annan."

Although he was yearning for Yao Guangxiao, he still felt that if he wanted to send troops to fight, he still needed to find a reliable general.

Therefore, he immediately dissuaded Zhu Tao from saying.

"This kind of thing can't be played casually. One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. Besides, although Xie Jin is smart, he has never been on the battlefield after all."

Zhu Tao still insisted on his own ideas, he told Yao Guangxiao.

"Old Yao, why are you living and going back? Did Zhuge Liang really lead soldiers before he came out of the mountain? What's more, this guy is my apprentice, and I have been leading him for a year. How to go out and hang out."

Yao Guangxiao had nothing to say, and Zhu Tao came to the palace to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, all civil servants and generals were also here.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally happy when he saw that Zhu Tao came here on his own initiative. He didn't expect that the child was usually so lazy, but this time he came to work on his own initiative.

He was naturally happy to see Zhu Tao, and quickly ordered the eunuch to move a seat and serve tea.

Zhu Tao didn't come here to be polite, and directly took out the letter of war from King Annan from his bosom.

Then, he said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, my son sent Daotong to Annan this time, just to test whether this small country has a heart of awe, and see if they are shameless in this situation, and they will have to beat them if they don't."

Zhu Yuanzhang was even happier, after all, he found an opportunity this time.

Otherwise, it can be regarded as an unknown teacher. Now that the other party has jumped out to seek death, then he doesn't have to be polite.

So he looked at Zhu Tao and asked excitedly.

"Then Tao'er, how many soldiers and horses do you think will be needed to conquer Annan this time? How many people can be generals?"

Zhu Tao thought for a while and replied directly.

"Besides, the military expenditure is too high. To conquer a small country like Annan, there is no need for a large army, so the third brother and the fourth brother don't have to follow along. I recommend one person as the main general, but [-] soldiers are enough to defeat Annan."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and thought that he was going to recommend Li Jinglong or Xu Zengshou and others.

Although these people have made some progress now, if these juniors are allowed to go forward in such a war of destroying the country, they still feel somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, he also tentatively asked Zhu Tao.

"Tao'er, we know that Zengshou, Jinglong and others are all your disciples, but you can't just push them as the main generals to conquer Annan, after all, their qualifications are still young."

Zhu Tao curled his lips, and he said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"When did I say to let Li Jinglong and Xu Zengshou be the main generals of the main house Annan, I just want one of them to be the deputy general and the other to be the logistics officer."

In fact, even if this was the case, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong were already very excited. After all, in such a war of annihilating the country, taking up any position at will can gain military merit.

If it weren't for the relationship with Zhu Tao, the logistics officer and lieutenant general would not be able to be appointed.

After the conquest of Annan, if you can record a sum in the credit book, I am afraid that these two boys will not be able to benefit from it.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and it seemed that apart from these two, Zhu Tao had only one other disciple, Li Qi, who was the eldest son of Li Shanchang, who was recruited by him as his son-in-law.

So he had to ask tentatively.

"Then you are talking about Li Qi, the son-in-law, but he has always been a civil servant, never participated in frontier affairs, let alone has any military talent, how can he afford the war of destroying the country."

Zhu Tao smiled, and he directly rejected Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The son-in-law has a body of gold and jade, how did he endure the suffering of the war? Since the father is so eager to ask, I will directly recommend a general, and that is my disciple Xie Jin."

As soon as he said this, all the civil and military present were in an uproar.

You know, this Xie Jin is just a 12-year-old child, how can he take on the role of chief general.

Before these civil officials and military generals came out to object, Zhu Yuanzhang himself felt a little unnatural, and he said right away.

"The imperial court sent [-] troops to subjugate the country of disobedience. What a big deal. How can such a thing be entrusted to a child? Isn't this a child's play? You must not be so careless."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang saying this, Zhu Tao just said with a smile.

"Father, did you forget that in the 12th year of Hongwu, when I first met you, I was only a teenager."
