I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 212 The Birth of the General Staff

"Step back! Don't step on the paper!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted.

Jiang Bin looked down at his feet in confusion after being scolded, and quickly lifted his feet. He saw a piece of paper with messy numbers written on it. He looked at it twice and found that he didn't understand it. However, he didn't dare to look at it any more, and carefully put it on the table.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, father." Jiang Bin was very soft.
Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houxuan ignored Jiang Bin and looked at the map on the wall.
Jiang Bin breathed a sigh of relief, and then he began to observe the situation in the house. He saw papers with strings of numbers written on them scattered everywhere in the house. There were five or six maps hanging on the wall, which were painted in a mess with red and blue brushes. However, he could vaguely see that they were maps of the Nine Borders and the Mongolian grasslands, and he could also see the different directions of advance.
"It's really interesting!" Zhu Houzhao's face was full of fatigue, but his spirit was extremely excited.

"Yeah," Zhu Houxun responded in a tired voice while drinking porridge.

"Your initial calculation was correct. At this stage, it is enough for us to train 50,000 elite soldiers. But there is the problem of logistics," Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop it now!" Zhu Houxuan said immediately. He glared at Zhu Houzhao unhappily. "Didn't we make it clear just now? Some of the current logistics data are estimated by us. They are not accurate enough. So we can discuss it again after we get more accurate data."

"Okay! I understand." Zhu Houzhao said, scratching his head a little embarrassedly.

"Take a rest! Even if you are not tired, I am!" Zhu Houxun said unhappily.

"Hehehe!" Zhu Houzhao laughed along, not looking angry at all.

Zhang Yong and Jiang Bin were stunned. The only person in the world who could talk to Zhu Houzhao like this was His Royal Highness the Prince of Jing. Zhu Houzhao could actually endure it. Not only did he endure it, he was not angry at all.
The question these two masters were discussing made them both secretly shocked and completely confused.
Unable to figure out the situation, the two decided to keep quiet.
After a while, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Brother, this is so interesting today. We should do this more often in the future!"

"No! I'm very busy every day and don't have time to play this with you." After resting for a while, Zhu Houxun's attitude improved a little, but his tone was still not polite at all.

"How can this be called playing? This is the deduction of military and national affairs, it's very important." Zhu Houzhao immediately became interested.

Zhu Houxuan shook his head repeatedly after hearing this.
"Brother, I beg you, please accompany me to do more deductions like this in the future." Zhu Houzhao begged in a different tone.

Zhang Yong and Jiang Bin heard this and regretted why they didn't leave and stayed here.
But things have come to this, the two of them can only try to keep quiet, for fear that the two masters will notice their presence
Zhu Houxuan looked at Zhu Houzhao helplessly, "Just get it clear, you are the elder brother and I am the younger brother"

"I can call you brother." Zhu Houzhao said immediately, with a sly smile on his face, "Do you think it's okay to call me that? My brother, my brother."

"Stop! Stop!" Zhu Houzhao was really having a headache now. You know, Qin Yuelan, the most famous actress who played the role of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, was his wife. Zhu Houzhao really felt sick when he heard her call him like that.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Houzhao laughed shamelessly at Zhu Houxun's expression.
Zhang Yong and Jiang Bin were even more confused after hearing this conversation. They wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"Then you agree to me?" Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly.

"Brother! I think this kind of thing is not something we should do." Zhu Houxun suddenly said seriously.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Zhu Houzhao was keenly aware of the change in Zhu Houxuan's attitude and said seriously. "Brother, you see, this involves planning the route of the march, calculating the logistics needs, and the subsequent huge work of collecting logistics and transportation data. This logistics data is constantly changing. For example, how much the transportation capacity can be increased after replacing the ball bearings of the transport vehicles, and how much grain transportation can be reduced by transporting more salted fish."

"Such problems involve huge calculations and deductions, and require field investigations, which is simply not the case."

Zhu Houxuan paused for a moment, pointed at Zhu Houzhao, thought for a moment and said: "You, the great general of the Ming army."

When Zhu Houzhao heard what Zhu Houxun said, he immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Then Zhu Houxuan pointed at himself and said, "I am the chief logistics officer of the Ming Dynasty's army."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he nodded even more diligently.
"This is not what we should do at all. We should coordinate the overall situation. These things should be calculated by others and given to us to decide. Not only do they have to calculate them, but they also have to take into account all possible unexpected situations. The battlefield is ever-changing, and it would be exhausting for us to calculate them all." Zhu Houxuan let out a long sigh.

After listening to this, Zhu Houzhao nodded thoughtfully.

"We should form a large team to do this specifically. Let them collect data on various logistics and troop marches, consider the impact of various unexpected situations, calculate the results based on the existing data, and add the war game simulations done in the Leopard Room before. What should be presented to us in the end should be the various resources consumed and the various risks faced by each attack, and then we can make a decision," said Zhu Houxuan.

Zhu Houzhao quickly digested what Zhu Houxun said, and slapped his thigh excitedly, "Yes! That's how it should be! The people in this team must be proficient in mathematics and very familiar with military affairs."

Zhu Houzhao paced around the room excitedly. "With various calculations and war game simulations, most of the situations on the battlefield can be calculated in advance. We must form such a team."

"Your Highness Prince Jing, this idea is good. If we have such a team, then everyone can become a famous general who can plan everything for the best," Zhang Yong suddenly said.

Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands suddenly and said in surprise: "Yes! That's right, everyone can make a perfect plan and become a famous general!"

"Zhang Banban, you really see things clearly," Zhu Houzhao praised without reservation.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. It's the method of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jing that is good." Zhang Yong immediately nodded and said.

Jiang Bin looked at Zhang Yong with some jealousy.
"I want to form this team immediately." Zhu Houzhao was a little impatient when he thought of having a group of people to accompany him in the expedition to Mobei.
"We need to give this team a name, what should we call it?" Zhu Houzhao continued.

At this time, Zhu Houxuan's voice interrupted:

"Why not just call it the General Staff!"
