Hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face finally became sad and changed to a smiling face.

150,000 troops, you have said it earlier. Our Ming Dynasty has a strong national strength, and only 150,000 troops are not a piece of cake, Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself.

However, when he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that now, since it is necessary to attack in two ways, he has to assign tasks to Chen Feng's army. He can't send 150,000 troops himself and let Chen Feng's army watch the fun in the capital, right?

Chen Feng's army's main task is to guard the frontier and participate in the frontier war. Although they have been fighting and stopping with the small Tartar troops, now, such wars must be attended by them.

"This Northern Expedition will be our second Northern Expedition, and it is also the most significant one. This time, we can only succeed, not fail." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "So, I have decided to appoint my brother as the marshal of this Northern Expedition. I hope that the Emperor will not let down my high hopes."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not say that Chen Feng would send troops, but instead proposed that Chen Feng take over the seal of the commander. It was Zhu Yuanzhang who was relieved that Chen Feng would come to command himself. At the same time, with him personally commanding, the army of the capital would have to be dispatched, right?

When Chen Feng heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he had guessed it in his heart.

"I report to the emperor, what kind of virtue is the empress? I will hold the seal of the commander and hand over the troops of the whole country to the empress. I will be frightened." Chen Feng said.

One needs to be given, the other dare not accept it, and no matter how many times it takes.

After all, the general seal was handed over to Chen Feng. If Chen Feng went out like Zhao Kuangyin, he immediately came back, and put on the yellow robe? Although the possibility is very small now, everyone who takes over the position of Marshal of the Army must refuse.

"Brother Emperor, if you can't look at the whole world, I'm afraid I'll be the only one. Do you want me to go to the battlefield in person?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Chen Feng immediately refused: "Since that's the case, then the empress will hold another high position and fight for the emperor's northern expedition. I hope this time, we can eliminate the Tartars in one fell swoop!"

Seeing Chen Feng agreeing, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled on his face: "That's right. Let's plan the details of the dispatch of troops. I wonder how many thousands of defenders can dispatch the troops?"

This is the most important thing. Although Zhu Yuanzhang said it very naturally, Chen Feng could also see it from the corner of his eyes

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's feet were walking on the ground regularly, indicating that he was still a little anxious at this time.

"In addition to normal personnel, the defenders of the capital can also dispatch 30,000 people." Chen Feng said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chen Feng say this, his face looked a little embarrassed. There were only 30,000 people, so a little?

Of course, I can't say much. If Chen Feng said that he could dispatch 100,000 troops, Zhu Yuanzhang would have insomnia every night.

The scale of Chen Feng's army has never been expanded. Until now, the total number of defenders in Dadu is only 40,000. Of course, the combat effectiveness of these 40,000 people is definitely quite powerful. Even if you face 100,000 Tartars, you can still break through from the front. The number of soldiers is not many, but the essence.

Moreover, what Chen Feng is focusing on developing is not the cavalry, but the navy. In the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Feng's navy is still expanding rapidly. Warships are constantly grounding water, and sailors who can adapt to the navigation of the sea are also constantly cultivating. Chen Feng's vision is not this small place on the land at all, but the vast sea and the entire world.

"Reported to the Emperor, the Dadu defenders, there are a total of 40,000 people. I feel that it is necessary to leave 10,000. Of course, if the Emperor feels that it is not enough, he can even produce 5,000 more. 35,000 people are the limit for the majority to be able to dispatch. Denied that the majority has become an empty city and may be successfully attacked by the Tartars." Chen Feng said.

Forty thousand people? In the past, didn’t Chen Feng have 40,000 people? Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang figured it out that in recent years, Chen Feng had not recruited new troops, and had maintained the scale of these 40,000 people without expanding.

Thinking of this, I felt happy. Looking at Chen Feng again, my eyes seemed to have seen my first love.

Chen Feng lowered his head: "I am ashamed of being aware of my arms. When the emperor needs force, I am unable to provide enough support."

"No, brother, you have done a good job. After all, the most important thing for us now is to rest and recuperate." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then most of us will dispatch 30,000 troops. I ordered Xu Da to lead 120,000 troops, 60,000 cavalry, and 60,000 infantry. In this way, 150,000 troops are enough."

Chen Feng said that he wanted 150,000 troops, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, but Chen Feng only dispatched 30,000, and the remaining 120,000 were provided by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court has spared no effort in fighting the Mongolians in recent years. Sixty thousand cavalry, and in such a short time, it has trained 60,000 cavalry!

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is not just about to fight the Tartars

I'm afraid there is another purpose, which is to be careful of yourself.

In fact, I didn’t have to be prepared for it at all. Besides, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to defend himself, he couldn’t help it. Chen Feng remembered the one in the harem.

"Siege Shangdu and go to the periphery of Datong to fight an ambush. Both of these two battles are not easy. I wonder how the emperor will arrange it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Now, the basic tactics have been formulated, and Chen Feng has sent 30,000 troops, and the main ones have been formulated, leaving only the last one: allocating the target.

If you want the army of Dadu and the army of the Ming Dynasty to join forces, Zhu Yuanzhang did not think this was a good way. Chen Feng needed to command all the troops, but it would be better for Chen Feng to command only in the rear. As for the army in front, Xu Da was still led by Xu Da.

Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved of Xu Da's military strength, and Zhu Yuanzhang was even more relieved of Xu Da's loyalty.

Then, for Chen Feng's 30,000 troops, it seemed a bit difficult to assign the two targets to him. It seemed difficult to make these 30,000 troops besiege Shangdu, who had 100,000 troops guarding him.

If his army was allowed to go to Datong to block the 80,000 troops in Kuoku, it seemed that it would be a bit over.

So, what should I do?

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and finally decided to let Chen Feng choose.

"Please make a decision, and I will definitely obey the emperor's will." Chen Feng said.

In fact, for Chen Feng, no task was very difficult, and he could do it completely. Therefore, when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Chen Feng kicked the ball back.

"If you can conquer Shangdu and capture the Mongol pseudo-emperor, this contribution should be the greatest contribution of this Northern Expedition. Such contributions will be left to the defenders of the Ministry of the Ministry to obtain." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke highly of this. It would be a great contribution to capture Tohwantemuer alive. However, he did not say that he would divide 20,000 troops to siege Shangdu with the Dadu defenders.

However, Chen Feng was quite satisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's distribution. Shangdu was surrounded by plains, which facilitated the deployment of Chen Feng's cavalry. Moreover, Chen Feng's army was equipped with a large number of firearms, which was very easy to surround Dadu or attack Dadu.

On the contrary, on the road to Datong, there were mountains all the way. Although it was to ambush Kuoku, the man named Kuoku was a very cunning person. If he couldn't do it well, he did not ambush Kuoku, but instead he was ambushed by Kuokuo.

Last time Xu Da

I suffered a loss in Kuogu's hands. This time, I hope Xu Da's luck will be a little better.

"Yes, after Weichen returned, he would rectify the army. However, it may take a certain amount of time for General Xu's troops to assemble? When will we start to act?" Chen Feng asked.

"All this is naturally decided by the emperor's brother. Xu Da's army has been ready for battle and can reach Dadu within half a month." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Half a month? Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass will go first. We must prepare well for this attack. Most of us have not prepared any preparations yet. Now, the river has been opened and the canal has resumed normal traffic. I feel that if we start sending troops at the end of April, we should be sure to win."

Only when the canal is reopened can the food from the south be transported to the north. The food consumption of these 150,000 people in war is an astronomical figure. Therefore, Chen Feng could not say with a clue that he could send troops tomorrow and war must be cautious.

Moreover, when troops are sent at the end of April, the battle will begin in mid-May, and the climate is also the most comfortable.

"Okay, then I am in Yingtian, waiting for the news of the soldiers' triumphant return." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, I have another request." Chen Feng said.

"Prince, please speak." Zhu Yuanzhang was very polite.

"Can the food and grass be collected by the court? The ministers are responsible for the transportation in the middle?" Chen Feng said.

After Chen Feng said this, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little silenced.

Chen Feng was rich and powerful, and his major businesses were making money every day. Therefore, Chen Feng almost raised his own supplies in every battle in the past.

Therefore, this time Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that most of the food and supplies for the 150,000 people would be prepared, and he didn't think much about this.

However, Chen Feng stopped doing it.
