Zhu Yunxi suspected that Li Jie gave Zhu Di's advice, so he recommended himself and asked himself such a big problem. This idea is actually normal, because Zhu Di's approach was indeed too unexpected, and this style of doing things is also very similar to Li Jie.

Of course, Li Jie was very unfair, so he immediately denied it. Zhu Yunyu still trusted Li Jie very much. After all, he also knew that Li Jie would never lie to him in such military and national affairs.

"Since it's not your brother-in-law's idea, it's the fourth uncle's own idea. However, this also conforms to the fourth uncle's personality. After all, my father said at the beginning that the fourth uncle is a natural general who inherited the military talent of the emperor's grandfather. If he could really lead the army, he would not be worse than Lan Yu and others." Zhu Yunxiu also showed a contemplative look at the end, as if he was seriously considering this matter.

"Your Majesty, you won't really consider asking the Fourth Uncle to lead the troops, right?" Li Jie couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Zhu Yunxi's appearance.

"I have this idea, but I can't make up for the time being. What do you think, brother-in-law?" Zhu Yunyu pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Jie and asked.

"This..." Li Jie also showed a thoughtful look when he heard this. After a while, he replied, "If the Fourth Uncle really has no other idea and just wants to compete with Timuer, a rare opponent, on the battlefield, it is not impossible. However, the Fourth Uncle's identity is too sensitive after all, so Your Majesty must be cautious!"

"Yes, I have the same idea. In fact, if you think about it the other way around, Uncle Fourth is my biological uncle. Letting him lead the troops has less trouble. However, the situation in China is subtle now, and I can't let him lead the troops directly!"

Zhu Yunxiu said this and pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Yes, let General Fu be the commander, and the fourth uncle is his deputy, so that he can go to the battlefield without worrying about any problems!"

"This method is good!" Li Jie nodded in agreement when he heard this. The reason why Zhu Yunqi was worried about Zhu Di was that he was worried that if he turned against the military power and killed the capital after he turned against him, wouldn't the entire capital be in danger?

However, Fu Youde, the commander now, is Fu Youde, and Zhu Di is just his deputy, which avoids Zhu Di's dominance in the army. With Fu Youde's restraint, even if Zhu Di has any evil intentions, he may not have any abnormal movements, otherwise he will be deprived of military power at any time.

"Without any time, please call General Fu and his fourth uncle to discuss matters immediately!" Zhu Yunxiu immediately ordered that Timur's army could arrive at any time, so since you make a decision, you should naturally move faster.

Li Jie was relieved when he saw this. In fact, when he heard Zhu Di's self-recommendation just now, he thought of this method. After all, he had to use Zhu Di and restrain Zhu Di's actions in the army. The best way was to send a heavyweight figure to restrain him, and Fu Youde was obviously the best candidate.

The reason why Lan Yu cannot be used is mainly because Lan Yu has a irritable personality. He and Zhu Di are the same type of people. When two strong people arrive in the army, maybe before Timur comes, they will fight first. In comparison, Fu Youde's temper is much better, and with Fu Youde's qualifications and prestige, it is enough to suppress Zhu Di.

However, although Li Jie thought of the above, these words could not be said from his mouth, otherwise it would only arouse Zhu Yunyu's suspicion, so it would be best for Zhu Yunyu to think it out by himself, which would have nothing to do with Li Jie.

Fu Youde had been recalled to the capital long ago, and Zhu Di did not go far, so the two were quickly summoned to the warm-up hall, and there were several important officials in the court. After the people came to Qi, Zhu Yunyu immediately expressed his attitude of fighting to the death with Timur.

Since even Zhu Yunxiu had expressed his opinion, the ministers were of course very righteous and wanted to fight Timur to the end. Then Zhu Yunxiu directly announced that Fu Youde and Zhu Di would lead the imperial guards to the northwest to respond to the enemy!

Everyone was stunned. If it were just Fu Youde to lead the troops, it would be as expected by everyone. But now there was a Zhu Di, and everyone was unable to touch it. After all, no matter how you look at this, it would not have anything to do with Zhu Di. Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask him to lead the troops?

Zhu Di himself was not surprised at all. Even Zhu Yunxiu asked Fu Youde and him to lead the troops together. After all, if he was Zhu Yunxiu, he would definitely not be assured to let a vassal king lead the troops alone.

However, the ministers were surprised and surprised. They saw Zhu Yunyu's expression firm, and Zhu Di and Li Jie next to them seemed to have known it for a long time, which made them understand that this must have been agreed on in advance, so they did not dare to ask more questions.

After determining the candidate for the troops, the next thing is much simpler. The most important thing is the matter of mobilizing troops. There are also many garrisons in the northwest. In addition to the necessary left-behind forces, it is estimated that they can mobilize about 50,000 troops.

The imperial guards on the capital and border troops in other directions can also be temporarily transferred. After statistics from the Ministry of War, it is estimated that the number of troops can be mobilized about 150,000. In addition to the 50,000 troops in the northwest, 200,000 troops is enough to deal with any invading enemy.

The plan was decided, Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand and immediately ordered everyone to take action, especially Fu Youde and Zhu Di, who asked them to mobilize their troops within ten days and set off on time in ten days to rush to the northwest.

All the ministers stood up and immediately stepped back to prepare. In the next few days, the Ming Dynasty's war machines also started to operate rapidly. Fu Youde and Zhu Di ordered troops and ordered military orders to be sent to various places to transfer troops. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works and other yamen were also mobilizing money, grain and weapons to prepare for the army's expedition.

Such a big move naturally shocked the whole country. After all, the Ming Dynasty had not mobilized such a large army for a long time, so under such circumstances, the news that Timur's whole country came to fight was quickly spread.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Jie also spread the story of Timur's massacre of cities and destruction of the country in the Western Regions, and at the same time he detained the Ming Dynasty's mission and spread all the undeclared battles. This also caused anger among the Ming Dynasty. Countless people of lofty ideals were gritted with hatred for Timur, hoping to go to the battlefield to capture Timur back to the Ming Dynasty for guilt.

Li Jie also dared not underestimate Timur, the enemy, but there was something he kept thinking that in history, Timur died suddenly due to dysentery on the way to the Ming Dynasty, which led to the end of this Eastern Expedition before the beginning. But now history has changed. Will Timur die of illness on the road like in history?
