I want to be a grandson

Chapter 316 tit for tat
After the hunting grounds were set up, all the princes brought their entourages and guards, and entered the grounds after inspection.

The inspection by Sapphire and the others was very strict. Every guard had to be thoroughly inspected, and they were not allowed to carry them for private use. The weapons, bows and arrows used were all standard.

Moreover, every bow and every arrow has the name of the prince it belongs to, and the number issued to each person is registered in the register.

In this way, if something happened to assassinate the king, he could trace the source and quickly find the murderer.

After the guards have been inspected, the prince will enter the vast hunting grounds under their escort.

"The ministers are waiting to see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!"

Tents were set up in the hunting ground, and simple desks and futons were placed on the open space, one for each person, quite like the state of Han and Tang Dynasties sitting while sharing food.

"Your uncles are free from courtesy!"

When all the princes arrived, Zhu Yunxi came with his guards, and these vassal kings also followed the court etiquette and performed the ceremony of a monarch and his ministers.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi looked around and asked, "Second Uncle, are all the Wang Uncles here?"

King Qin Zhu Xi replied: "His Royal Highness, all those who should come have come, please give orders to Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxie said with a smile: "Second Uncle, you are being polite... Please sit down, Uncle Wangs. Today's hunting only talks about bravery, riding and shooting, so you don't have to be polite, all Uncle Wangs, please sit down."

After speaking, he took the main seat facing north and south, and when the others saw him sitting down, they also took their seats in order of age.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi said this is because hunting is also a kind of drill for marching and fighting. In the barracks and on the battlefield, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers should not be too important, otherwise everyone is busy saluting, and there is no way to fight this battle!

And today is the royal family hunting again, all the family members came, and some family members were reunited for the purpose of entertainment.

So when hunting, it is about force and courage!

Zhu Yunxie said to the crowd: "Uncle Wang, Grandpa Huang has government affairs to deal with, so he won't come here today, and we can be more casual, so as not to let go of our hands and feet."

When everyone heard this, their expressions immediately relaxed a lot.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the big mountain on everyone's head, who dares to be presumptuous with him on it?Who dares to really let go of his hands and feet, what if the limelight overwhelms his elder brother, or even the grandson of the emperor?
But if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't come, there is no need to worry about all this!
Dai Wang Zhu Gui asked with a smile: "Grandson, if this is the case, then we don't have to be restrained... But we only brought three hundred guards when we came here, and now only a hundred people can enter here, which is too small some!"

Knowing that the younger brother was picking on the thorns, Zhu Xi said displeasedly: "Hundred people hunting is not a lot! I don't even look at the total number of our guards. The whole hunting soldiers and horses are more than two thousand, which is not too small." ?”

"Second brother, this isn't much, it's just a mere 2000 people, how can you appreciate the spirit of thousands of troops..."

Zhu Yunxi said calmly: "Today's hunting was arranged by the general. Go and invite the general here, so as to give the princes Jiang Jiang the hunting rules."

The guard took the order and went down immediately to invite him.

After a while, Lan Yu came with Dingyuan Hou Wangbi. At this time, Lan Yu was wearing a suit of armor and was about to salute but was stopped by Zhu Yunxi.

"General, hunting is a drill, and the tent is also a barracks. Since you are in the army, you don't need to be polite!"

"Chen Lanyu, thank you His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson!"

Lan Yu didn't insist either, but just bowed and clasped her fists in salute.

Because when he was invited here just now, he had already been told what was going on, so Sapphire knew what was going on, and scanned the crowd with her eyes.
Then he said: "Princes, His Majesty specially decreed this hunt to be handled by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. The hundred guards are all elite soldiers selected by the princes. Naturally, there is no need to say more about their abilities."

"As for why a hundred people participated, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has its own calculations on this matter, so there is no need to say more!"

Dai Wang Zhu Gui was speechless for a moment...

My face is also a little hot...

The meaning of Lan Yu's words is: the matter is this matter, and there is no need to explain it to you!
In order to relieve the tense atmosphere, Wang Bi smiled and cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, princes, although the hunting ground is not small,

But since it is hunting, it must be galloping horses, bending bows and shooting arrows. If there are too many people, it will be crowded, and it will inevitably fail to reflect the strength of everyone, so after thinking about it, we set the number at one hundred..."

Just when Zhu Gui's embarrassing atmosphere was relieved, Wang Bi suddenly added: "Besides, not everyone is qualified to participate in the hunt!"

Does anyone qualify?

of course not!

Don't think that it is enough to find some soldiers and horses for royal hunting.

You must know that this is a great honor, representing the recognition of each prince's soldiers.

Zhu Yunxi said lightly: "Dingyuanhou, tell everyone what the rules of this hunt are."

"Yes, I obey!"

Wang Bi went on to say: "This hunting will release prey of different sizes for the princes to hunt and kill."

Zhu Xi asked: "According to the practice every year, there will be some prizes. If we want to separate the winners and losers, how should we calculate it?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it depends on the interests of the princes. It can be calculated according to the number of prey or the weight. There is no one-size-fits-all rule."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said, "General, Marquis Dingyuan, please take a seat."

After the two thanked them, they also sat in the seats prepared for them.

What followed was a simple "military parade". Every prince's soldiers and horses had to walk in front of everyone. Firstly, it was to show the military formation and their achievements in the fiefdom.

Secondly, being able to show their faces in front of the emperor's grandson and various princes is to express that the imperial court values ​​soldiers and horses, so that they will not slack off during training and fighting.

According to the order, the soldiers and horses of Qin Wang Zhu Xi came first. These soldiers and horses carried bows and arrows on their backs and had knives in their waists.

There is nothing special about a phalanx like this, and almost every prince's guard does it.

What we are looking at now is not how brave they are in battle, but also their mental outlook and the murderous fortitude on their faces.

To know whether a soldier and horse has experienced many battles and is invincible, it can be seen from his energy and spirit!

After all, soldiers and horses who have killed people on the battlefield and have been tempered will never be immature!
Zhu Yunxie said approvingly: "Second Uncle's soldiers and horses are very good. I must have trained more in the fief, and they are also extremely brave on the battlefield."

Zhu Xi reached out and touched his beard, with a satisfied expression on his face, and said modestly: "It's just normal. The Guanzhong area is connected to the Oala tribe of Mongolia in the north. They often buckle their sides. These soldiers and horses need to be vigilant from time to time. That's all. That's all."

"Second Uncle is humble, such an elite soldier must be brought out by a strong general like Second Uncle!"

"I shouldn't praise you so much..."

Then came the soldiers and horses of Jin Wang Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yunxi said again: "Third Uncle's troops are also good. I didn't expect Third Uncle to lead troops so well and achieve such achievements. It's really unexpected!"

Zhu Yan also said with satisfaction: "Hehehe, isn't it good? I'm training soldiers and I don't slack off at all!
What are they like... oh, you didn't see it, they are simply a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals... After being trained by me, they became elite soldiers..."

Facing King Jin's self-promotion, everyone also smiled, and no one tried to tear him down.

You must know that these guards already have a good background, what is the shrimp soldier and crab general he said in his mouth, if that is the case, how can they be constituted as guards.

Besides, if the army formation is not evenly organized, what is the difference between them and the bandits?
So in fact, the difference between the military formations is very small, it can be said to be negligible, and it is not enough to reflect the combat effectiveness of soldiers and horses.

It's like Ah San, find some people, after a period of training, they can still act like dogs, but they can't stand the war at all!

Further down is the army of Yan Wang Zhu Di, led by Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu.

Zhu Yunxi also praised a few words as usual, and Zhu Di naturally behaved very modestly.

These are Zhu Yuanzhang's closest sons, so Zhu Yunxi naturally had to be more enthusiastic, so as to reflect the royal family's affection.

But Zhu Yunxi just nodded his head to show his courtesy to the soldiers and horses of the next princes.

So when the soldiers and horses of the contemporary Wang Zhugui passed by, Zhu Gui felt uncomfortable when he saw the emperor's grandson was indifferent.

He suffered from being dumb with Lan Yu, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous. After all, Lan Yu was the general of the dynasty, with a high position and authority, and his temper was not very good.

When I went to recruit the Mongols back then, they intended to surrender, and I was having a good time switching glasses at the wine table, but Lan Yu insisted on taking off her clothes for others to wear.

The other party is also short-tempered, and may feel ashamed to ask for other people's clothes, so they just don't wear them.

Sapphire was in a hurry at that time, drew out the knife and slashed at the opponent, and even injured the opponent. Fortunately, he was not the main general at the time, otherwise the two sides would have fought hard, and ended in a deadly situation.

Under the appeasement of the general, the other party didn't say anything, so the surrender was smooth.

For Lan Yu, a "reckless person", Zhu Gui didn't dare to make mistakes, but he felt awkward about his nephew from the bottom of his heart.

"Yunxi, what do you think of my soldiers and horses? Also give me comments."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at him, and said with a needle in his mouth, "Uncle Thirteen is the master, so he should be more aware of his guards, why should I judge!"

"I don't want to hear your opinion. It's okay for you to speak out, but if it's really hard to turn around, I'll clean them up and practice hard!"

If this is really the case, it is equivalent to bringing hatred to the emperor grandson!

Zhu Yunxi saw that he was so ignorant, so he was not polite: "The reason why the emperor let the thirteenth uncle be the acting king and entrust the land of Datong is because of grace on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to let the thirteenth uncle guard the frontier. Could it be that the thirteenth uncle even himself You can't tell whether the soldiers and horses are strong or weak?"

This is a bit murderous!

It's almost like saying that he is blind and mediocre, otherwise how could he not be able to tell the difference?
The second is to live up to the grace of God and be ashamed of the kindness bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The third thing...is such a mediocre and incompetent person still worthy of being a feudal king and guarding Daming?

Zhu Gui was pushed back, feeling very aggrieved, knowing that now was not the time, so she curled her lips and didn't say any more.

Besides, there is a second brother who is going to teach him next to him, so even if he is angry in his heart, he can't let it out at this time...
