Chapter 163 Cherish each other A few words made everyone present look at him with admiration.
Since the army was raised in Xuzhou, everyone has been worried about survival all the time.
Almost all efforts have been centered around how to make the army more powerful and larger in scale.
But no one had time to think about deeper and longer-term issues.
Including the old Jinshi Lu Luzeng, the development plan offered to Zhu Bayi was only to take the elite soldiers from Huaisi and the grain from Wuyue, waiting for opportunities to compete in the world.
There was no detailed consideration of how to compete and how to manage the territory after it was established.
Zhu Chongba, with a small sign, quickly thought of this level from the scene in front of him.
And in one sentence, the biggest weakness of the Huai'an Army is revealed, which is the lack of farmers.
To the east of the canal, the fields are mostly salt-alkali flats.
It was not suitable for farming in the first place.
After the people found that they could find better livelihoods in the city, they were unwilling to continue digging in the land.
Therefore, in the Huaidong area, food has always been insufficient to make ends meet, and all the food has to be purchased from other places.
After Zhu Ba11 occupied Huai'an, he banned most of the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties and gave them to the people, which accelerated the prosperity of the market in a very short period of time, causing the food gap to become even larger.
Although the current method of linking the shipment of salt with the shipment of grain can alleviate part of the crisis.
But not having sufficient food reserves is a hidden danger after all.
No matter how powerful an army is in combat, no matter how sophisticated its weapons and armor are, it cannot fight without food.
Even if he can dominate at the beginning, if his opponent adopts the strategy of clearing the field, it will be difficult for him to defeat the enemy again.
If the troops are unable to advance due to insistence for a long time, their combat effectiveness will be quickly reduced.
When the food they carried with them was used up, there was no other option but to retreat.
And if the opponent is more ruthless and bans the flow of food to Huaidong by force, or the price of food soars due to the year of disaster.
The Huai'an Army will inevitably suffer an unprecedented major blow.
Even if all the above situations are dealt with by luck, the Huai'an Army will not be able to achieve much development.
Because the wealth of the Huai'an army relies too much on commercial taxes and salt taxes, while other regions do not have the same generous commercial taxes and salt taxes to collect.
Therefore, if the Huai'an army only plans to separatize one area in the future, or take Yangzhou and Gaoyou into its hands, it will only be enough to become a powerful prince.
If you want to conquer the Central Plains in the north, or conquer the world, if you don't change the current governance method, the more your territory expands, the weaker your strength will be, until you drag yourself to death.
These words may not be completely accurate, but it is the first time that someone has discussed the same issue with Zhu Bayi from such a high and deep perspective.
How could he not be horrified and moved?
What's more, in Zhu Dapeng's memory, the 16th generation ancestor in front of him was the final winner of the peasant uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty.
How could this person's words be too outrageous?
Thinking of this, in front of everyone, Zhu Bayi straightened his clothes and saluted Zhu Chongba solemnly on horseback, "Hearing the general's words today is like a slap in the face.
The general can see that I, Huaidong If it is not enough, do you have any good tips for me to teach?
If so, please teach me in person, and I will thank you very much."
"The general manager's words are serious, Xiao Ke must not take them seriously."
Zhu Chongba himself felt a little surprised when he saw that he had persuaded the world-famous Governor Zhu in just a few words.
He first bowed his hands and bowed deeply, and then said hesitantly, "Three months ago, the Chief Manager went to Huai'an.
The offensive was so sharp.
I don't know why, but after landing in Huai'an, he suddenly restrained his minions.
Xiao Ke Baisi If you can’t figure it out, please ask the chief manager for some advice.”
"This, this, I was able to capture Huai'an that day, it was purely a risk, and then I didn't dare to repeat my old tricks, lest I lose and lose all my previous efforts."
Zhu Ba11 smiled, with an awkward expression on his face.
For more than three months, the Huai'an army has only been hanging around in front of home, without making any effort to expand its territory.
On the one hand, it is because the troops in his hands are too thin, and there is another factor, which is also the most important factor, that is, this guy's strategic thinking.
In fact, in addition to accepting some guidance from Lu Luzeng, most of his other strategic ideas came from Zhu Dapeng.
According to Zhu Dapeng's otaku mentality, after he has a base area, he should naturally immerse himself in farming, digging for gold, and gathering strength.
When the strength is accumulated enough, give the opponent a fatal blow.

Obviously, this strategy is too wishful thinking.
Even if Zhu Chongba didn't ask, after listening to his previous words, Zhu Ba11 suddenly realized this problem.
You want to develop slowly, but your opponent is not a fool and will never stand still and wait for you to develop slowly.
They will try every means, including military and non-military means, to curb your development, and then strangle you alive in Huaidong, a land where copper coins and salt flow, but there is no rice.
Sure enough, after Zhu Chongba listened to his explanation, he immediately smiled and shook his head, "Since repeating the old tricks is a risk, how can you know that staying in Huai'an is not taking a small risk?
Since the general manager has raised the flag of righteousness, he will take it all the time."
It’s not taking risks.
It’s just that the way of taking risks is different, and the results are different every time.”
"This" Zhu Bayi didn't know how many times he was stunned.
He looked straight at Zhu Chongba, wanting to cut off his head and crack it open to see what was inside.
Monster, this person is definitely a native monster.
What is so unbelievable about him is that he has merged with the soul and thinking of Zhu Dapeng, a later generation.
Although Zhu Chongba was born and raised here, his vision was broader and far-sighted than that of a soul fusion person like himself.
You know, from AD 1352 to AD 2014, that is a span of more than 650 years.
But a person who has accumulated more than 650 years of experience is outclassed in terms of knowledge by a native who has no accumulation at all.
This blow is really not heavy enough.
"When Xiao Ke passed by Sizhou, he was lucky enough to see the Tiger Ben under the command of General Xu Da."
As if he was afraid that the blow to Zhu Bayi was not big enough, Zhu Chongba thought for a while and continued.
"The soldiers under General Xu are definitely the best in the world.
Even the auxiliary soldiers, to be honest, are not much worse than the soldiers at Meng Yuan.
I heard that there are five such tiger and strong divisions under the general manager.
The general manager doesn't use him to expand the territory, but uses him to guard the house.
It would be too much of a waste of natural resources.
Could it be that the general manager thinks that you are here?
When they are recharging their energy, will the officials from various places in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties continue to live in drunken dreams and die as before.
Who gave them such courage?
If they dare to continue sleeping soundly, how can they survive in the officialdom for decades if they only know how to live in intoxication and dream about death?"
This sentence is even more pointed.
Your Huai'an Army is developing, and others are not standing still.
Especially in places close to the Huai'an Army, such as Gaoyou, Yangzhou, etc., there is no shortage of money or soldiers.
What they originally lacked was just an enterprising spirit.
Now that the Huai'an army is watching eagerly, local officials, no matter how stupid they are, know that they must use all means to protect themselves.
How could I continue to go around drinking and listening to dramas?
It is true that most of the officials in the Meng Yuan Dynasty were greedy and sycophantic, but none of them were fools.
He is a fool.
He has been purged by the officialdom a long time ago.
He will never climb to the key position of controlling the whole government.
Regardless of whether officials are honest or corrupt, in an official-based society, everyone who climbs to high positions must be a good person.
I think of a very famous conclusion in Zhu Dapeng's memory.
The cold sweat on Zhu Bayi's forehead finally broke out.
He raised his hands and bowed deeply to Zhu Chongba again, "Hearing your words is worth ten years of reading.
Brother Chongba, I think Zhu has learned this lesson."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Zhu Chongba quickly jumped off his mount and bowed to the ground, "Xiao Ke was so rebellious that he talked nonsense in front of the chief manager.
The chief manager does not blame Xiao Ke, he is already kind.

How dare you accept the courtesy of the chief manager again?
" "Okay, you're a very particular person."
Zhu Ba11 laughed, and jumped off the horse, holding Zhu Chongba's hand, "Anyway, it's not that far from the city gate.
Why don't you and I take a few steps together and chat while we are walking?
There are still many things in Zhu's mind that he would like to ask Brother Chongba for advice."
"Xiao Ke, how can he be so virtuous and capable as to dare to call him a brother to the chief executive?"
Zhu Chongba insisted and refused to discuss friendship with him.
He freed his arm and bowed deeply again, "If you have anything to do with the chief general officer, just ask him.
Xiao Ke should tell you everything he knows."
There’s so much to say”
"You, ugh" Zhu Bayi shook his head at Zhu Chongba and had no choice but to accept it.
People in this era take etiquette and respect very seriously.
He doesn't like it, but he can't fight against the entire era on his own.
However, if you have the opportunity to ask Zhu Chongba for advice, etiquette will become secondary.
Anyway, as long as Zhu Chongba, a great evildoer, doesn't care about himself, as the superficial superior, he doesn't need to force himself to do anything he doesn't.
Although he has merged with Zhu Dapeng's soul and memory, physically speaking, he still belongs to Zhu Laowen.
Therefore, there is no psychological barrier to becoming brothers with Zhu Chongba.
Zhu Chongba, on the other hand, seemed a little restrained because he was just a senior officer and the other party was a general manager.
But generally speaking, the two of them admire each other very much, so sometimes even though they don't agree with each other's views and practices, they can still give each other enough respect.
So while walking and chatting, and while chatting and walking, it became more and more speculative.
Unknowingly, they felt like they had met each other very late.
"It's a pity that he is not under Zhu's command" "It's a pity that Zhu didn't know him earlier" Note 1: Although Zhu Yuanzhang treated his subordinates cruelly in his old age, his knowledge and knowledge were not as bad as those of unofficial officials.
Many of the orders he gave to Xu Da feel strategically like building high ground.
In particular, some of the orders given during the Northern period were absolutely well planned and the victory was won thousands of miles away
