"General Li must not be polite. The child is impulsive and will cause trouble for General Li in the future."

Although Mu Tianbo's title and official position are higher than General Li Yan, his son will have to do business under his command in the future, so it is very normal for him to come over to have a glass of wine.

"Why should the Duke of the State say this? The junior officers also benefited a lot from some understanding of the cavalry."

In Mu Tianbo's opinion, this is a polite statement made by General Li Yan.

But in the eyes of these people around, General Li Yan never said any polite words.

What he said must be true, so when others looked like Mu Xianliang, their eyes were a little different. Perhaps this kid was really capable.

"General Li Yan, don't say anything to me happy. This kid has been spoiled by me since childhood. From now on, he will be beaten and scold Xi Tingzun. If he dies on the battlefield, I hope the general can transport his body back to Yunnan for me."

A good man died in the battlefield. I don’t know how many people were sacrificed for the imperial court, so when Mu Tianbo said this, there was no sadness in his eyes, but a hint of pride.

At this moment, General Li Yan was also shocked. This was the real noble family and the real hero of the imperial court.

Since its founding, the southwest region has never stopped. Being able to have the current stability is inseparable from the efforts of the Duke of Qian.

"Don't worry, the new army formed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different from the old army. Even on the battlefield of Qufu, many unpredictable things happened to the imperial army, but the total casualties will never exceed 10%. Therefore, the Duke can put his heart in his stomach."

Mu Tianbo naturally heard of the casualties on the battlefield, but Mu Tianbo didn't believe it at the beginning, but after coming to Nanjing City, many people said so, so Mu Tianbo couldn't believe it anymore.

In Mu Tianbo's impression, war has always killed one thousand enemies and lost 800. If we defeated the opponent's 300,000 army, our losses should be around 100,000, which is already a very small number.

But the real numbers surprised Mu Tianbo. It seemed that he was indeed a bit out of date. The court was different from before.

Think about the muskets and cannons you saw...

His Highness the Crown Prince’s new border concept…

Barbed wire bunker...

Everything has never been heard before, but now it has become a real reality. Mu Tianbo cannot believe that a new era is coming soon.

Mu Tianbo was also very happy at this moment and drank several drinks with General Li Yan. On the one hand, it was because his son followed a capable general, and on the other hand, it was also because he had made the right choice.

Zuo Liangyu's bastard didn't see the real situation of the court clearly, and he had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Just such a guy still wanted to rule Huguang?

Either dream or fool...

After returning to the main position, Zhu Cilang raised his wine glass with Mu Tianbo again. Other ministers also knew that the two of them had something to talk about, so they did not disturb them for now.

Whether in the 21st century or the current Ming Dynasty, a habit of us Chinese people is to solve some important things at the dinner table, and serious office spaces never decide anything.

"What do you think of the countries outside the southwest border?"

In Zhu Cixuan's territory, all small countries in the southwest should be the barriers to the Ming Dynasty, which is the so-called strategic depth, which is definitely not what they are now.

Nowadays, not only does it not become the strategic depth of the Ming Dynasty, but it will often invade the border residents of the Ming Dynasty. How can this be done?

"Please rest assured that although I am old, even if I fight for this old bone, I must ensure the safety of the southwest border. Before His Highness clears the Liuhe, there will be no war."

As soon as he heard Mu Tianbo’s words, Zhu Cilang understood that Mu Tianbo was wrong.

I am not trying to care about the current situation in the southwest region, but I am trying to let Mu Tianbo change his mind and not always stick to his own acre of three parts.

It is a matter of time before the imperial court wants to put away countries outside the southwest border. Now we have to let Mu Tianbo change his mind.

Although we cannot do any substantial attacks on them for the time being, work such as inquiring about information should be carried out in advance.

In other words, Mu Tianbo was thinking about how to defend the security of the border, while Zhu Cilang was thinking about how to open up borders.

The two of them are now on two roads.

What Zhu Cilang had to do was to pull Mu Tianbo on his own path.

"You misunderstood what I mean. I am very satisfied with the current situation of the southwest border, but what I want to say next is another thing. For the southwest countries, from now on, you have to pay more attention to all matters in their territory, such as customs and customs, terrain, and their population defense..."

Mu Tianbo is so smart. If he doesn’t have a good brain, how can he be at a high position?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said just a few words, and Mu Tianbo immediately understood what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, and an egg could be stuffed into his mouth.

According to the education Mu Tianbo received, the Central Plains of our Ming Dynasty was the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire. The places where their monkeys lived were not suitable for people to live in, so the court would not care about their territory. What is the crown prince now?

What's more, the southwestern countries are nominally vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. Is it against morality for His Royal Highness to do this?

"Don't look at this palace with such eyes. Although it is the Shu Kingdom of My Ming Dynasty, are there still fewer things they have made in recent years? Always remember eight words, if you are not my race, your heart will be different."

Zhu Cilang seemed to see what Mu Tianbo was thinking, so he spit out these eight words.

Mu Tianbo thought carefully and found that what Zhu Cilang said was a serious matter. He had never looked at the border areas in all dynasties. However, when the court was weak, the fact that all ethnic groups around him divided the Central Plains had not happened.

Take the current Qing Dynasty and Mongolia as an example. Didn’t they just want to divide the Ming Dynasty?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really far-sighted. The sheep-herding rule in the past is no longer suitable for His Royal Highness's footsteps.

No wonder he had to replace more than 100,000 troops with muskets and cannons before, and also set up barbed wire and other things in the border areas. His Royal Highness took ten steps to see.

After Mu Tianbo touched his goatee, the good days of the small country in the southwestern vassal states were probably coming to an end. My Ming Dynasty was going to take over this area...
