"I think I can use troops against Annan."

With a word from Li Yan, Zhu Cilang knew that this guy should have understood what he meant.

General Li Yan was very clear about his current situation in the court. If he could use this matter to lead troops to the front line, it would of course be a very good thing for him.

But if you lose this opportunity, it will not be so easy to find an opportunity in the future. So you have to seize this opportunity no matter what, so that you will not become a civil general. This is also the last chance to realize a person's life ambitions.

In the original Ming Dynasty, the status of civil officials and military generals was naturally the highest in civil officials. However, since His Royal Highness took power, the direction of the court in all aspects has changed. Only those who lead troops in the army can gain the respect of the soldiers.

Being a civilian general in the court, no matter how much His Royal Highness valued you, he would not have much status in the army. General Li Yan saw this clearly.

But the question is that he came from Li Zicheng, so whether he could take charge of the army to the front line is another matter. Now that the Crown Prince has given up an olive branch, it is obvious that he wants General Li Yan to lead his team to Annan Kingdom.

General Li Yan also thought that the journey to Yunnan was long, and fighting with Annan was not that simple. The most important thing was that the south was relatively humid and the jungle was dense. However, even if there were ten times more difficulties, General Li Yan was ready to challenge it, which was an excellent opportunity for his life.

"Mr. Li, please be careful."

Shi Kefa, Minister of War, thought about it and said that all the ministers of the court expressed their attitudes. Although Shi Kefa and His Highness were almost the same as the steps of the crown prince, Shi Kefa still retained his opinions on Annan Kingdom, which was far away in the sky.

"Don't talk nonsense first, listen to the general's opinions. Maybe there is another village. I know what you are thinking about. The focus is on logistics support. But if the general can solve this problem, wouldn't there be no problem? It can also promote our country's power and punish these small environmentally friendly countries. The most important thing is to make our palace angry."

Many court ministers present did not dare to obstruct His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but when General Li Yan stood up, they did not have so many concerns.

Seeing that General Li Yan was about to be siege, Zhu Cilang couldn't give me no care at this time, and it was a chance to speak.

Many people present had a sudden slap in their hearts after hearing His Highness the Prince's words. It turned out that the problem in Annan Kingdom was so serious that His Highness had already accumulated a sigh of anger in his heart.

Some flattering people have decided that they will never stand up and say more at this time, but for some important officials of the court, they cannot control so much.

For example, Shi Kefa and Hou Fangyu have made great contributions to the court. The current court also has their contributions. It is impossible to rely on the character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and wait for General Li Yan to stand up and oppose it after he finished speaking.

"Your Highness, if the empress is a military force against Annan, except for military ammunition, the empress does not need the court to supply one or two silver coins."

After General Li Yan finished speaking, everyone present was as if they were in a panic. The soldiers in the Northeast were already very frugal.

In addition to military ammunition, the supplies given to them were extremely limited, but unexpectedly, General Li Yan was even more powerful and wanted nothing except military ammunition.

"Even so, it is not an easy task to transport a large number of soldiers over. The general may not know that if he wants to arrive in Yunnan from the capital, he will take three months to change the water route after he takes the water route and then change the road route."

Seeing that Shi Kefa and others were already a little relieved, they had to figure out most of the matters out. They couldn't give the green light based on these two words of the general.

If they want to stand the last post for the court, Zhu Cilang looked at these people happily, and had to raise objections to each other and find solutions to their respective objections. This is a normal court.

Zhu Cixuan also looked at the general. The Minister of War raised a question. If you want to lead troops there, you have to solve this problem. This is not Shi Kefa’s own problem, but it is also a problem for the entire court.

"Sir Shangshu, what you are talking about happened before. You may not have observed the movements of the court in recent times. The cement roads repaired by the court are gradually increasing. If you follow my marching route, you can reach Yunnan within about two months."

General Li Yan walked to the front of the sand table and explained his marching route to everyone.

Naturally, the army cannot set out from the capital. There are also many elite troops around Nanjing, so they set out from Nanjing.

As for General Li Yan's attempt to arrive in Nanjing City, the speed was too fast. It would take a quick whip to go along the cement road, and it would take only a few days to reach it.

From Nanjing City to the south, the imperial court also built several major roads. Combined with the water system in the south of the Yangtze River, it was possible to reach Yunnan within two months.

The transportation problem has been solved, but it is necessary to think carefully about how many people you bring over. Annan is not a small country. According to the records of the imperial court of this country, the total population is 10 to 20 million. If there are fewer people, it may not be of much use.

"What would the army do the general need to go to the expedition of Annan?"

The second key issue was mentioned by Zuo Mengjun.

This guy is not a soldier, but he is responsible for logistics supply. Although only military supplies are required, you have to give these people the military pay according to the regulations of His Royal Highness. As long as you go to the battlefield, everyone's salary must be doubled.

Moreover, even if the military supplies are transported separately, the cattle, horse and vehicles that need to be arranged are not a decimal number. Of course, it will depend on how many people will go on the war in the end.

"The three regiments and some auxiliary troops will not exceed 40,000 people at most, and they will definitely conquer Annan."

After hearing General Li Yan's words, the people in the court immediately sneered, thinking that this guy was talking big.
