I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 239 Countermeasures (Subscription Request)

Zhang Taiyue felt embarrassed and awkward when Cheng Fengxiao pointed at his nose and scolded him.

But unfortunately, what he did was a bit weird.

Zhang Taiyue's face flushed, veins popping out on his forehead, and he argued: "It's not unfilial to be a son of a nation if one is in a position to do his job. How can a scholar speak so harshly? A scholar, eh! A scholar..."

What followed were things like "eat the emperor's salary and serve the emperor loyally" and "this is what I want to say", which made Lu Jing, who was sitting at the conference table, couldn't help but smile.

Lu Jing pointed at the table and asked, "So what did you do against the new weapons of the Min Dynasty?"

Zhang Taiyue's face turned even redder, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Well, I found out... at the beginning! At the beginning! I found out that although the military equipment of our Min Dynasty was inexpensive and of good quality, the manufacturing requirements were not that high."

“But they are mostly iron.”

"Whether it's artillery, iron chariots, or the diesel vehicles that have been put into use on a large scale in recent years, they are all made of iron."

"So I formed an army of practitioners who are good at controlling gold, and another army of practitioners who are good at Yuan magnetic skills."

Cheng Fengxiao became anxious again and slammed the table!
Lu Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Old Cheng. Let him talk."

Zhang Taiyue also risked his life: "In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of these teams, I have specially organized a military training camp, in which all the people practice these two kinds of skills."

Cheng Fengxiao successfully became famous.

He stared at Zhang Taiyue and wished he could eat this grandson alive.

But it must be said that Zhang Taiyue still has a long-term vision.

We started preparing for a rainy day more than ten years ago.

The key is that he really found the weaknesses of the industrialized army.

In this world filled with mysterious and powerful forces, steel without special power protection is as brittle as crackers to masters of supernatural powers.

Once those Gold-controlling Masters and Magnetic Masters were allowed to get close to the artillery positions, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, even if powerful beings of other levels rushed to the artillery position, the consequences would be the same.

Therefore, the Korean army is equipped with artillery protection regiments around the artillery positions.

But the real threat from the Metal Masters and the Magnetic Masters is that... once the shells are fired, there will be no artillery guards.

However, the Metal Masters were able to silence powerful artillery shells by controlling the metal.

Even fighting back is not impossible.

In this regard, it is indeed difficult.

But Zhang Taiyue didn't say anything yet: "Later, I found that simply looking for practitioners with talent in controlling gold to form a targeted barracks is too inefficient."

"After testing, I found that earth-repelling techniques such as earth and stone were also effective in defending against artillery shells, so I also formed an army of earth-repelling masters to provide support at any time."

"If necessary, we can even use earth escape to destroy the artillery positions silently."

Lu Jing: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Cheng Fengxiao had such a bad temper that he was gritting his teeth in anger.

He pointed at Zhang Taiyue and said through gritted teeth: "Well, well, well, well, well, you Zhang Taiyue, you are really amazing! Calling you a scoundrel is really an understatement!"

Zhang Taiyue said with a bitter face: "Stop scolding, stop scolding."

Now he is really honest and begs to be let go.

Lu Jing also admired Zhang Taiyue very much.

When the North was still developing, they had already made painstaking preparations for a rainy day.

But admiration aside, problems still need to be solved.

Lu Jing knocked on the table and said, "Mr. Zhang, I understand you. It's reasonable to do your job well. But the problem was caused by you, so you have to find a way to solve it. If you can't solve it, you have to write it down in your resume and it will be made public in the Hall of Ten Thousand Peoples in the future." Zhang Taiyue's scalp instantly went numb!
Depend on!
What’s the difference between this and being hung on the pillar of shame in history books!
Damn!

What the hell was I thinking about in the first place?

This is also one of the more ruthless aspects of the Min Dynasty.

In the Min Dynasty, whether it was an office or a military hall, there was a group at all levels to work together to solve problems. Whoever's ideas were finally agreed upon by the group and whoever proposed the suggestions and plans would bear the main responsibility.

Others who agree shall bear secondarily liability.

Those who oppose are irresponsible, but a summary report must be made afterwards.

Those who neither agree nor oppose nor take any action will have their records entered in the military logs of government offices at all levels.

Inaction is an extremely bad negative evaluation.

Once there are multiple such records in a resume, it means that this person's career is basically over.

Moreover, the annual evaluation and the transfer every three years will be delegated layer by layer.

There are even penalties such as sending telegrams for accountability.

This would avoid to the greatest extent possible the emergence of some slacker officials in government offices at all levels of the Ming Dynasty who believed in "the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, no mistakes."

So Zhang Taiyue quickly decided: "I'll solve it! I can definitely solve it!"

Zhang Taiyue said: "I personally selected these soldiers in Dayu, and I also selected their generals. Although some of them may have been replaced now, I still have some of my old subordinates among them."

"If we can persuade them to surrender, it will be of great benefit to our Min Dynasty."

Zhang Taiyue: "I understand their backgrounds and know how to persuade them."

In order to avoid being nailed to the pillar of shame in the Hall of All Peoples, Zhang Taiyue stood up anxiously: "This way! I will go myself!"

Lu Jing smiled and shook his head: "That's too much. You are the head of a country. If they come, it would be great if you could meet them. It's not right to go in person."

Zhang Taiyue also understood this principle.

So he hesitated for a moment and said, "Let my eldest son Zhang Jingxiu go secretly to persuade them to surrender."

Lu Jing added: "It's definitely not enough to rely on friendship alone."

He thought for a moment and suggested, "Here's how, Chief of State, you list all the information of the former generals in the army. Then we will send people to find them."

"Especially those generals who were once very close to you and have now been banished to other places by Emperor Wanchang. Bringing them along will make it easier to persuade them to surrender."

“In addition to this, we need to go to those people’s hometowns and bring back their wives, children and elders who can be brought back.”

"You have to be quick, stealthy, and polite."

Zhang Taiyue also started to think: "The names of the generals, their hometowns, and even their wives and children are not a problem. But I can't remember the soldiers below, and there may be new recruits."

"But after persuading the generals to surrender and rebel, we can take them back to Dayu and launch a surprise attack, and secretly bring out their wives, children and family members."

This is a big deal.

Dayu has a strict household registration system.

It is not uncommon for a few people to leave their original registered residence and go to other places occasionally.

But with so many people walking together, it is still very difficult.

From Dayu to the territory of Minchao, there is not only a disputed area as large as the southern part of Jianzhou in between.

There are layers of checkpoints within Dayu alone!

So this is not a easy thing to do.
