Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 72 The perfect bandit suppression formation!
"Young Master Huang, be careful with your words!"

Fu Youde finally couldn't bear to remind him.

He knew that although the emperor was named Hongwu, he used his troops cautiously throughout his life, and he was even more afraid that future generations would be arrogant, frivolous, and willful in using troops, which would cause disaster.

In Huangming's ancestral training, the emperor clearly wrote, I am afraid of future generations, relying on China's prosperity, greedy for short-term military exploits, raising troops for no reason, and injuring people, remember not to do so.

So Huang Dasun's aggressive remarks will ruin his previous perfect image in the emperor's mind?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "It's okay, our eldest grandson spoke very well, we are very happy!"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is really happy. He was born as a warrior, and he brought down the world. Of course, he knows that the truth in this world is on the tip of the knife. It was Zhu Chongba!
Later, he listed the countries that would not be conquered. Firstly, he did not take these small countries seriously, thinking that the land would not be enough to provide supplies, and the people would not be enough to command. Not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there is an urgent need for stability. In the north, Meng Yuan is still ruthless and is the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty. In the southeast, it is enough to appease. The Emperor Ming ancestors also wrote that Hu Rong approached the northwest of China, and the world was a border trouble. It is necessary to select generals to train troops, and be prepared at all times.

In short, Zhu Yuanzhang used troops cautiously, but he was never afraid of using troops.

The descendants of the later generations actually did not abide by the "Nation of No Conquest" in the precepts of the emperor's ancestors. After Zhu Di came to power, he went north to the depths of Mobei, and went south to take Annan, but these places were returned by later generations.

At this moment, Feng Sheng, who had been silent all this time, raised a question: "My lord, if you say let the vassal princes control it, they can almost be said to have become an independent country, and after a few generations, they will not guarantee that they will not rebel! "

Huang Xiongying smiled and said: "Even if the feudal lords want to rebel, but think about it, who are they?"

Feng Sheng was taken aback, not understanding why Huang Xiongying suddenly asked this inexplicable question, and subconsciously said, "Who is that? Isn't that a traitor!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile: "So stupid, they are Han Chinese!"

"Correct!"

Huang Xiongying nodded heavily: "It is better for Han people to fight among themselves than to be bullied by foreigners. Besides, the world is so big that it is beyond our imagination. My grandson once read some miscellaneous books in his free time. It said that the sea is endless. On the other side of the sea, There is also a large amount of land, and the resources there can be inexhaustible for my future generations!"

"Why should they rebel? They just need to conquer more lands!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes glistened when he heard this. The most important thing in his life is to hope that the great Ming Dynasty he built will last forever, prosper forever, and last forever.

Since Qin Shihuang unified Kyushu, the longest of all dynasties was the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years, and it was also divided into the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, so the life span of a dynasty is about 300 years.

Two or three hundred years later, there will be a series of problems such as overstaffed institutions and land mergers.

What Dasun said today, it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang opened the door to a new world and gave him a direction to solve this problem.

Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that even if he didn't fight, his eldest grandson would definitely fight when he came to power.

Then why don't you take down the Wa Kingdom while you are still alive, so as to prove whether what his grandson said is feasible?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood immediately, and said with a smile: "Dasun is right, but the first thing we need to do now is to clear the pirates along the coast!"

"Ah."

Huang Xiongying nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I brought you Grandpa Song here today just to talk about this matter. Didn't you say that you have a set of formations to deal with Japanese pirates last time? You, Grandpa Song, are familiar with the art of war and have a high attainment in formations." , let's let him come over to check."

"The emperor is absurd!"

Feng Sheng made a humility sound, but there was an imperceptible arrogance flashing across his face unconsciously.

Huang Xiongying's rhetoric about basic national policies just now shocked him greatly.

Huang Dasun's idea is really bold and groundbreaking. No wonder he can create a god like a mirror, and it's no wonder the emperor likes coming here so much. Apart from the identity of Huang Dasun, this boy is still an unborn genius. !
But when it comes to the art of war, he also has enough reasons to be proud in front of this young genius.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Wang Baobao was conquered by three groups. Xu Da and Li Wenzhong failed to win, but Feng Sheng won a lot.

In his lifetime of fighting north and south, except for Chang Yuchun in Pingzhang, he claimed to have won the most victories.

So he was also looking forward to it, and wanted to see what formations Huang Dasun could bring him. Of course, he hoped that Huang Dasun could surprise him.

Because only a strong enough grandson of the emperor can these heroes with great military exploits be free from the emperor's suspicion.

Otherwise, the emperor might send them away before leaving.

"That kid is making a fool of himself!"

As Huang Xiongying said, he asked Lao Xu to take all the food off the table, leaving the entire table empty.

"The law of war says that the master of the terrain is the aid of the soldiers. Predicting the enemy's victory, and calculating dangers and dangers, is the way of a general. Those who know this and use warfare will win, and those who do not know this and use warfare will surely lose."

Hearing this, Feng Sheng nodded slightly.

Just listen to Huang Xiongying continue: "The southeast coastal area is full of hills and gullies, the rivers and canals are vertical and horizontal, and the roads are narrow. It is actually not easy to start a large-scale battle. Moreover, the Japanese pirates are flexible in combat and are good at setting up ambushes. They are good at hand-to-hand combat. The reason why Kou is not effective."

"So if you want to deal with Japanese pirates, you must be easy to move, have both good and bad, and have both offense and defense."

Feng Sheng couldn't stop nodding, and said, "Well said."

He has been fighting all his life, of course he knows the importance of adapting measures to local conditions, as the so-called land is far and near, dangerous and easy, wide and narrow, life and death.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with a smile.

"And my set of formations is specially designed to deal with Japanese pirates on this terrain!"

Huang Xiongying said, stood up, brought several teacups from the side, put them on the table, and said:
"Look, my formation is based on a team of 11 people, and these eleven teacups represent eleven soldiers."

Huang Xiongying took a teacup and put it in front: "The first person is the captain, and the second two are on both sides. One holds a long card and the other holds a rattan card. The rattan shield is equipped with javelins and waist knives, and the long and rattan players mainly cover the advance of the rear team, and the rattan players can also engage in close combat with the enemy in addition to covering."

Huang Xiongying first placed three cups in front, while Zhu Yuanzhang, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde listened seriously.

The three of them are people who have experienced battles, and their eyes are like knives. If there is any loophole, they can almost see it at a glance.

Under the watchful eyes of the three super masters, Huang Xiongying was not nervous, and said slowly:
"The three people in front and the two behind are wolf traps. The so-called wolf traps are moso bamboos that are common in the south. Choose the old and solid ones, cut the bamboo ends into a pointed shape, and leave sharp branches around them. , each wolf whisk is about ten feet long."

"The Wolf Whipman stabs the enemy with the sharp blade at the front of the Wolf Whip to cover the advance of the Shieldman and the attack of the spearman behind."

As he spoke, Huang Xiongying brought four more teacups, put them behind the wolf's hand, and said:
"These four are spearmen with spears in their hands, two on the left and two on the left, and they respectively take care of the shieldmen and wolfmen on the left and right in front."

Immediately afterwards, Huang Xiongying took the last two cups and placed them behind the formation.

"The last two to follow up are soldiers holding boring palladium (farm tools, similar to Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed rake). They are mainly responsible for guarding and supporting tasks. to kill the enemy."

Huang Xiongying's voice fell, and the whole room was silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde all frowned, looking at the array laid out on the table, recalling what Huang Xiongying said just now.

They really can't find anything wrong with this formation.

The spear and the shield, the long and the short are closely combined, and the head and the tail echo each other, giving full play to the effectiveness of various weapons. As Huang Xiongying said at the beginning, it is easy to move, has both long and short, and has both offensive and defensive capabilities.

If there is something wrong with it, it is that this formation is not suitable for large-scale warfare, but only for small-scale warfare. There were only three war gods left, and they couldn't find fault for a while.

perfect.

The perfect formation to suppress bandits.

The trace of arrogance on Feng Sheng's face has long since disappeared, and his breathing has become a little short.

This great grandson, like his grandfather, is a military genius!
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about this formation, unless you are well versed in the art of war, someone who has experienced hundreds of battles can't show it, but Huang Dasun is just a young man who has never been on the battlefield.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the almost dull expressions of the three big men from the side, and when he looked at Huang Xiongying again, his eyes were full of admiration.

Under a few stares, Huang Xiongying stood tall and straight, and said without changing expression:
"This formation can also adapt to changes. Changing the column into a horizontal formation is called the Liangyi formation, and the Liangyi formation can be transformed into a Sancai formation. The Sancai formation is suitable for both offense and defense, and is suitable for narrow terrain such as mountains, roads, and field ridges."

"Isn't the Japanese pirates flexible in combat and good at close combat? The use of flexible maneuvers in this formation just suppressed the Japanese pirates' advantage!"

"If our Ming Dynasty's anti-bandits army adopts this formation, it will definitely kill the Japanese bandits without leaving any traces!"

Looking at the confident Huang Xiongying, the three Great Ming Gods of War were all in a daze for a moment, and their eyes on Huang Xiongying changed.

a while.

Feng Sheng let out a loud shout: "Good formation!"

Feng Sheng, who hadn't commanded an army for several years, felt ready to move at this moment, wishing to test the power of this formation right away.

And Fu Youde stroked his beard with a look of relief on his face. After he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang's smiling face, he only had two words in his heart: stable!
"Stinky boy, you told us at the beginning that you might be able to help suppress the bandits, but we almost ignored it. You should know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile, and then asked with a smile: "Da Sun, what's the name of your formation?"

Huang Xiongying replied seriously: "This formation is called Yuanyang formation!"

In fact, this formation was not created by Huang Xiongying, but by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general.

This formation has played a great role in the process of fighting against Japanese pirates, and it has made great contributions.

The Japanese pirates' usual weapons are Japanese swords, bows and arrows, and spears. However, in front of the mandarin duck formation, the Japanese swords are difficult to get close to, bows and arrows cannot penetrate shields, and long spears are not as long as the Ming army.

The record speaks for itself.

Battle of Huajie in Taizhou: 308 heads were beheaded, and 2 Japanese heads were captured alive.

Battle of Baishuiyang: Our enemy was more than 1500 against more than 2000, wiped out more than 2000 Japanese pirates, beheaded 344 Japanese pirates, captured 5 Japanese heads alive, and sacrificed only 3 people including Chen Si.

Surprise attack on Ushida Japanese pirates: Defeated tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, beheaded 688 pirates, and no one from our side died.

……

There are countless such victories.

Even when the public security special police teams of later generations faced knife-wielding gangsters, they also used this formation for reference.

Therefore, it is only natural that Zhu Yuanzhang and others cannot find fault.

This set can be called a milestone formation, of course Huang Xiongying wants to make him shine earlier.

It's just that it's inconvenient for him to say the name of General Qi.

But in his heart, he has added a lot of admiration for this famous anti-Japanese general...

"Dasun, let's find eleven people for you. You can help us practice that...mandarin duck formation, so we can tell the emperor, okay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with a smile and said.

Huang Xiongying nodded: "Of course."

With Huang Xiongying's consent, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted out the door:
"Xiao Jiang!"

Hearing the shout, Jiang Yu, who was observing secretly outside the door, trembled slightly, and hurried to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Master, what are your orders?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go and pick eleven servants with good skills, and send them here tomorrow, and hand them over to your young master, all according to your young master's orders, understand?"

"Little understand!"

Jiang Yu hurriedly bowed respectfully to respond...

……

At the same time, in Liu's mansion, in the study.

Zhao Mian, Minister of the Household Department, is visiting his father-in-law, Liu Sanwu, a Hanlin scholar.

Zhao Mian holds a high position, but he is only in his forties.

In the 18th year of Hongwu, Zhao Mian was No. 70 in the Second Class of Scholars, and Shen Mo and Hou Yong were on the same list.

In the imperial examination, Zhao Mian's grades were not top-notch.But within four years of being an official, Zhao Mian was able to climb up to be the Minister of the Ministry of Households, which shows that he is capable.

Of course, he also has a good father-in-law, Liu Sanwu, a Hanlin scholar.

After Zhao Mian and Liu Sanwu chatted a few words about homework, he stood up suddenly, walked to the window, looked left and right, closed the window, and then said in a low voice:

"Father, why do you think the emperor has suddenly changed? In the past, the Japanese kingdom rebelled against the emperor several times, and the emperor had to endure it, and did not send troops to conquer. Why did he suddenly want to suppress the bandits on a large scale this time, and even conquer the Japanese kingdom?"

Hearing this, Liu Sanwu glanced at Zhao Mian, did not answer, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Zhao Mian saw it and asked curiously, "Father, do you know something?"

Liu Sanwu still drank his tea, did not answer, but frowned slightly.

"Hey--"

Seeing that Liu Sanwu refused to tell him, Zhao Mian couldn't help but sighed, and said, "You don't know how difficult it is for the Ministry of Households. Almost every time before raising troops, they relied on printing more precious banknotes in exchange for supplies. Now the treasure banknotes It has been greatly depreciated among the people, and the people are miserable."

"The last disaster relief and Sapphire's expedition, I didn't dare to give away printed banknotes. Fortunately, there is a bright mirror. If this time I rashly go to Japan again, the Ministry of Households will have nothing to do except to print more precious banknotes!"

"And... even if more treasures are printed, it may be difficult to exchange for military supplies. If they are forcibly expropriated, the people will suffer a lot!"

Zhao Mian knew that Liu Sanwu cared about the people of the world most in his heart, so he moved the people out.

really.

Liu Sanwu's brows furrowed deeper, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "Your Majesty... I'm afraid I've listened to the slander!"

"calumny?"

Zhao Mian was startled, and immediately asked, "Whose slander?"

Liu Sanwu raised his eyes, glanced at Zhao Mian, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This matter is very important, it's better that you don't know."

"Father!"

The fire of curiosity in Zhao Mian's heart had already been ignited, how could he give up on being so kind, stood up, and said solemnly: "You have always taught us to be upright, be upright and speak up, to do what the people do well, and to do what the people hate. Why did you get up obediently this time?"

These words decisively hit Liu Sanwu's vitals.

Liu Sanwu was stunned for a while, and then smiled wryly: "I never thought that I, Tan Tanweng, would be taught a lesson by my son-in-law today, heh—"

"You're right, as ministers, we should find a way to rectify His Majesty's words and deeds!"

Having said that, Zhao Mian sat down silently.

Liu Sanwu looked at Zhao Mian and said, "Don't you want to know who gave the emperor advice to suppress the bandits? Well, let me tell you, it's just a young man by the Qinhuai River!"

"A boy?"

Zhao Mian was taken aback for a moment, and then said incredulously: "Is the emperor confused, how can he listen to a young man?"

Liu Sanwu shook his head, and said slowly: "The identity of that young man is not simple."

Zhao Mian looked at Liu Sanwu with burning eyes: "What is his identity? The emperor can listen to him!"

Liu Sanwu also looked at Zhao Mian, and said slowly: "The grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiongying!"

"what?"

Zhao Mian opened his mouth as wide as the mouth of a box, and was stunned for a moment, then he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry.

"Zhu...Zhu...the grandson of the emperor...hasn't he been dead for ten years?"

Liu Sanwu shook his head and said: "Man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. The grandson of the emperor didn't die back then, he just lived among the people, and now he has been found by the emperor again."

It took a long time for Zhao Mian to barely digest the information and recover from the shock.

He finally understood why his father-in-law had been reluctant to tell the reason.

Grandpa Hongwu was old, and the crown prince passed away not long ago. At this time, the grandson of the emperor who had been dead for ten years appeared, and the whole situation was about to undergo earth-shaking changes!
However, he was also very fortunate that under his repeated questioning, he actually got such an important piece of information.

Zhao Mian couldn't help but asked, "Father, where... is the grandson of the emperor now?"

Liu Sanwu looked straight at Zhao Mian, and said quietly: "Zhao Mian, do you want to court death?"

Only then did Zhao Mian come to his senses, thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and quickly said: "Father, the child knows it is wrong!"

Liu Sanwu just nodded.

"Remember, as long as you know about this matter, you must never reveal half a word, understand?"

"The child understands!"

Zhao Mian nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, you go back first, as for persuading the emperor, we have to think about it in the long run."

"Well, the boy will leave."

After Zhao Mian finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave.

"and many more."

Liu Sanwu suddenly called out to Zhao Mian, frowned and said, "Go back and tell the little girl to calm down, otherwise don't recognize me as a father!"
