The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Generals usually disdain for weak civil officials. After all, these people are powerless and only talk about war on paper every time they fight. If they lose, their soldiers will be blamed for being desperate.

Although there are reasons for their own confrontation with Mongolian cavalry in recent years, these civil servants who are afraid of life and death will undoubtedly bear the responsibility of unfavorable command.

But facing this old Master Lin who was like a war god, they changed their past views on civil servants, but they cast admirational gazes at Lin Junran from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, this one not only presided over the victory in the north gate of Tongzhou City, but also directed the victory in Manzhutan, which made their soldiers on the nine sides proud.

Lin Weiran stood on the podium and saw the different gazes of the generals. However, there was not much joy in his heart and said seriously: "Everyone, this cabinet master is not here to teach you today, but wants to discuss some issues with everyone!"

Generals such as Ma Gui were stunned, but they did not expect that this powerful and powerful Lin Ge Lao, not only did not put on airs, but also acted so humble.

Not to mention Lin Qingran's identity as a Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace and Minister of War, just the ability to dominate the great victory of Manzhutan does not need to discuss anything with them, such as the soldiers, but only instill strategic and tactical concepts in them.

Lin Weiran picked up a big chip from the podium, turned around and wrote on the white wall in the right vertical text that he was most accustomed to in this era: "Will Altan go south again?"

this……

Ma Gui and other generals exchanged glances silently. The Master Lin really didn't plan to teach them how to march and fight, and seemed to be really going to discuss with them.

Lin Weiran has never served as a lecturer, but it did not hinder his performance. He turned around and faced the generals and said, "This is the first question in this class. Will Altan continue to go south?"

Ma Gui and other generals did not think about it, and bitter smiles appeared on their faces.

This should not be a problem anymore. Based on their years of experience and situation, unless the sun hits the west, it will be impossible for Altan to continue moving south.

Lin Weiran did not laugh. He first glanced at the generals who looked relaxed, and then directly called out: "Guan Hu, you can answer this question!"

Guan Hu was originally a Qianhu of Wanquan Zuoquan, but he performed well in the battle at Manzhutan and had directly replaced Zhang Peidong as the commander of Wanquan's left guard. He followed Lin Weiran to know him.

Ma Gui and other generals turned their heads and looked at Guan Hu. Guan Hu immediately stood up and said, "Gei Master Lin, this... will definitely continue to move south. How could they not continue to move south?"

Ma Gui and other generals also nodded and agreed, resolutely recognized Guan Hu's judgment, and at the same time they looked up at Lin Yueran's reaction.

Lin Weiran's face was indifferent, but he asked lightly: "What is your basis?"

this……

Ma Gui and other generals were slightly stunned, and then they couldn't help but look at each other.

Although they all took it for granted that Altan would definitely go south, they actually didn't think about this issue seriously and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Guan Hu scratched the back of his chest and responded hesitantly: "The Tartars have been coming to bother us all these years. Naturally... it is impossible to give up. We will definitely... come again!"

"What do you think?" Lin Qi looked unquestionable, and looked at the other generals and asked.

Generals such as Ma Gui were not as nervous as Guan Hu, and they were all border soldiers who were indifferent to life and death, and they also expressed their opinions on this issue.

Among their answers, there were both reasons why Mongolia needed Ming Dynasty supplies, the view that both sides had a deep hatred of blood, and Altan's ambition to restore the Yuan Dynasty.

Although from the perspective of the Ming people, the Ming Dynasty was already a land of the Chinese people, there were many people in Mongolia who were thinking about the glorious Northern Yuan Dynasty, so there was always a large market for "resurrection".

"You believe that Altan's return to the south is mainly interests, feud and resurrection, but so?" Lin Qingran immediately made a summary on the white wall, and then asked seriously.

Ma Gui and other generals nodded one after another, and they already agreed with this statement, but some generals shook their heads gently, and there were still some differences on this issue.

Lin Xuran took all this and raised a question: "Who among you has any objections to the feud? Please stand up and tell the reason!"

Generals such as Ma Gui and Guan Hu exchanged glances, and some generals seemed ready to move.

"Gei Master Lin, I have objections to this view!" A young general suddenly stood up and responded with a firm look.

Generals such as Ma Gui looked at the handsome young general, who was already Han Xing, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou. This person did not belong to Jiubian, but a general transferred from the south.

Lin Xuran nodded calmly when facing this old subordinate.

"Lady Lin Ge, since the founding of Taizu, our Ming Dynasty and the Tartars have formed a bloody feud. However, they have always paid tribute to our Ming Dynasty in the early days. Even in the Jiajing Dynasty, there was a long period of peace. The conflict between the two sides was a great loss. Therefore, because the view of feud is not enough to support Altan's conclusion that he continues to move south!" Han Xing said his own point of view as if he was greatly encouraged.

"This is a wonderful statement!"

"Yes, Altan's tribe must have chosen not to continue going south because of blood feud!"

"That's true. Even if there is a factor of feud, it must not be the main cause!"

...

After hearing the Korean star's view, generals such as Ma Gui responded one after another.

As for the general who had raised this point earlier, he frowned slightly, and began to think again, and then found that the Korean star's statement seemed more reasonable.

Lin Xuran also saw all this. After indeed this view was consistent, he continued to raise another question: "Who among you has any objections to Resurrection, please stand up and explain the reason!"

Compared with many of the educational methods of cramming, he prefers to allow these generals to think and be more flexible in future wars.

After Lin Qinran's repeated questions, the generals present also adapted to the atmosphere, and at the same time they began to think about the questions raised by Lin Qinran.

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up, which was particularly conspicuous among the generals. He replied strongly: "Gei Master Lin, will you not be able to say the same thing as the restoration?"

"What's the reason?" Lin Qingran asked with interest while taking care of the middle-aged man with beard.

The middle-aged general bowed to Lin Qingran with extremely standard etiquette, and then looked at the general present and said, "Have you ever thought about what is the request that Altan made repeatedly to go south?"

"Trade between trades!" Qiao Yifeng responded in confusion.

The bearded middle-aged general nodded slowly, but asked: "If Altan really wants to recover, would he still want to trade with us in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Maybe he's an excuse!"

"This shouldn't be an excuse, it should be his true thoughts!"

The generals also responded one after another, but there were already differences within them. Some generals chose to object, but some generals expressed their support.

The bearded middle-aged general had a hint of wisdom in his eyes, and he seemed to be talking: "Is this an excuse? Let's not discuss it for now! Altan was not the orthodox orthodox Tumote tribe in the north, and he was eyeing him in the east, and the intention of making a comeback. This made him unable to concentrate all his efforts to move south. A few years ago, he spent huge amounts of money to build the Dabancheng, and he was already trying to take root in Tumochuan. Does he really have the ambition to restore his life to do these?"

"This..." Ma Gui and other generals couldn't help but look at each other, and found that these things had indeed revealed a lot of information.

The bearded middle-aged general looked like a torch and added seriously: "You can't forget that Altan is already sixty years old this year, and he has many sons, but not those with his courage! Once he really starts a full-scale war with our Ming Dynasty, not to mention whether he can win, once he dies in the war, his will definitely be in chaos, so he has no conditions for recovery at all!"

Lin Weiran kept silent, but was seriously examining this celebrity in later generations.

"I agree with this point of view!"

"General Li Shen's analysis was so obvious!"

"I am a great Ming Dynasty. How could he, a foreign race, challenge? He must not have the courage!"

...

After hearing the middle-aged generals' analysis, Ma Gui and other generals expressed their support for Authenticity.

Lin Qingran looked up at the bearded middle-aged general, and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

Generals such as Ma Gui looked at the middle-aged general with envy, but they also secretly admired the person's vision and overall situation.

"If you go back to Master Lin, you are the general of the dangerous mountain ginseng in Liaodong!" Li Chengliang saluted respectfully again and told Lin Yanran clearly that he was authentic.

Li Chengliang was born after the Li family in Longxi, but he was a hereditary military post as a student two years ago. Now he is a general with the highest level of generals but the least experienced general training this time.

Because he tried to take the imperial examination, although he did not pass the imperial examination as Zhang Juzheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, he had read the books of sages for decades and had a deeper attainment in military tactics.

Lin Qingran nodded softly and then directly looked at it: "General Li Gan, why did Altan choose to continue going south in your opinion?"

Generals such as Ma Gui also turned their heads and looked at Li Chengliang. Although there was a hint of jealousy in many people's eyes, they were more curious.

"Purchase! The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. As far as I know, Tumochuan and other places in Mongolia encountered drought, and life is not easy now. They need the supplies of the Ming Dynasty to build a big board and promote the city. In addition..." Li Chengliang answered seriously in response to Lin Junran's gaze.

But without Lin Qingran asking, the other generals immediately asked one after another.

"Old Master Lin removed the cancer of my Ming Dynasty. The Shanxi merchants can no longer provide Altan with a steady stream of supplies as before, which intensified the internal conflicts. Therefore, they need to go south to replenish substances and eliminate internal conflicts!" Li Chengliang bowed to Lin Junran and said with admiration.

Lin Junran nodded with satisfaction and found that this famous general in later generations was indeed outstanding, so he looked at other generals and said, "Do you have any objections to this?"

"No, it's true!"

"General Li Shen's analysis was so obvious that every word was gem!"

"For the sake of interests, Altan will definitely continue to choose to go south!"

...

The generals also expressed their opinions, supporting Li Chengliang's views.

Li Chengliang was quite happy when he heard the compliments from the generals, but he looked at the famous Master Lin in admiration at this moment. He thought it was all about paper talks, but he didn't expect Master Lin to have led them on a different path, and he can be said to be their mentor.

Lin Weiran had no objection to this view, so he turned around and wrote on the white wall with a charcoal pen: "Where will Altan disturb the Ming Dynasty from and obtain the materials they need?"

In this class, he did not intend to talk about strategic and tactical matters, but was willing to spend time guiding these passionate generals and cultivating their ability to think logically.

Now that Altan's combat motivation has been determined, the next step is to deduce Altan's next combat goal and make the most effective strategic deployment.

"Let's go to Xuanfu!"

"No, it should be our great harmony!"

"You are not right. They are already eyeing our Liaodong wall!"

...

Faced with this new problem, generals such as Ma Gui expressed their opinions one after another. However, they were inevitably selfish, thinking that their territory was the most attractive to Altan to come and disturb him, and they all believed that their territory needed key defense.

Inadvertently, the atmosphere of discussion in this class has been mobilized, and everyone has had a fierce argument on this issue, but they cannot avoid denying each other.

"Since it's for materials, the biggest possibility is Shanxi!"

"If you talk about materials, Shuntian Mansion will undoubtedly be richer!"

"They are too brave, right? They dare to make up ideas about these places?"

...

Compared with border towns, Shanxi Heshuntian Prefecture, as the hinterland, is undoubtedly more resources. After a dispute, many generals no longer only care about their own territory, but instead turned their attention to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, they ruled out some barren border towns, Datong, the closest to Tumochuan, and Xuanfu were shortlisted, but the more consistent place was Heshuntian Prefecture, Shanxi.

Lin Weiran did not intend to discuss this issue with a certainty. After circled the four places, he turned around and wrote on the white wall: "How should we deal with Altan's invasion?"

After falling into this line of words, this lesson has been sublimated and is no longer limited to teaching, but has come to the most meaningful military discussion.
