By that time, no matter how well the Jinling city wall was built, it would not be able to protect the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Jinling City Wall in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth was just a face-saving project, and there was no problem at all.

However, to Fang Shiyu, this sentence is a completely different concept.

Old man Zhu actually dared to say in front of him that building the Jinling city wall was a face-saving project of the Ming Dynasty, which was to publicly slander Zhu Yuanzhang!

It seems that the other party subconsciously began to accept his plan to go to Southeast Asia.

Beautiful job!

I must strike while the iron is hot and let old man Zhu run away with him as soon as possible.

"Come on, please tell me where should this cement be placed?"

Fang Shiyu asked Zhu Yuanzhang seriously

"This cement should be placed in the north where he is needed."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a positive tone.

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang bent down and drew a horizontal line on the bluestone slab.

There are many squares around the horizontal line, and there is nothing on it.

"Did you see what I'm painting? These are the northern borders of my Ming Dynasty."

"This line is the Great Wall, and below is the territory of my Ming Dynasty. As for those blocks, they represent various defensive buildings."

"Then behind it is the boundless grassland occupied by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Xiao Fangzi, do you understand what I mean?"

Looking at the picture Zhu Yuanzhang painted on the bluestone slab, Fang Shiyu pointed seriously.

It was a pity that I learned to draw when I thought that Old Man Zhu was an abstract artist.

Seeing that Fang Shiyu understood what he meant, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and then said excitedly.

"The Beiyuan Tatars have many cavalry and are very powerful. If our Ming Dynasty army fights them on the grassland, the reason for failure is often because the logistics cannot keep up."

"If I want to solve the problem of Beiyuan, my personal solution is to build strongholds and barracks in the grassland, which can store grain, and also serve as a front-line base for attacking Beiyuan."

"Before, my Ming Dynasty tried to use three-dimensional soil to make building materials, but unfortunately it was not only not strong, but also the bonding was too slow."

"The Tartars in the Northern Yuan Dynasty often quickly dispatched troops to harass guerrillas while our Ming army was building a base, which led to the failure of our Ming army many times."

"So over the years, our Ming army could only passively defend the cavalry of the Northern Yuan Tartars along the line of the Great Wall, and occasionally attacked, but they could only repel them, so there was no way to kill these damn Tartars."

"But now it's different with cement. As long as you use this thing, my army of the Ming Dynasty can build a small fortress in just four or five days."

"At such a quick time, the Tartars in the Northern Yuan Dynasty could react. By the time they reacted, we had already advanced step by step and were constantly building various fortresses on the boundless grassland to eat up the territory of Beiyuan and other places."

"Those Northern Yuan Tartars will inevitably be wiped out by us."

Zhu Yuanzhang said while constantly drawing circles on the bluestone slab.

Each circle represents the fortress of the Ming Dynasty.
