Daming: From the end of Hongwu

385 Chapter 383 - Training General
in the palace.

Zhu Di withdrew his eyes looking towards the south, and said in a soft tone: "At this time, Zhen Wu and the others should have already set off."

The dog waiting on the side smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao is the most appropriate thing to do. I think it has already been sent out."

Zhu Di hummed, then raised his head to look at the sky.

This is the first large-scale military operation in the Yongle Year.

It belongs to the Southern Expedition under his rule.

It also means that he has begun to write in the history books, outlining the great achievements of their era.

Thinking about it, Zhu Di secretly clenched his fists tightly.

Annan is just the beginning.

A group of them rebelled and won the world, and they must have come to create a prosperous age comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties, not a chaotic dynasty that would be reviled by future generations.

He Zhu Di will definitely create an era that can be proud of.

Seeing that Zhu Di was preoccupied and a little depressed, Gou'er couldn't help asking: "Is Your Majesty worried that the battle will not go well?"

Zhu Di came back to his senses, glanced at Gou'er, didn't intend to explain too much to Gou'er, just shook his head and said: "I know Zhen Wu's ability better than anyone else, little Annan can't stop him, but..."

"But what?"

Zhu Di laughed at himself and said, "But the only pity is that I can't personally lead this battle, which is somewhat of a fly in the ointment."

The dog was a little dumb.

The next moment, he couldn't help laughing out loud, saying that he had commanded thousands of troops in Jingnan, and he had also defeated the enemy generals, and as long as after that kind of passionate moment, in those ordinary years in the future, How can you not miss it.

"Is it funny?" Zhu Di turned his head and asked with a dark face.

Gou'er quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Why would my servant laugh at Your Majesty? It's just that this servant thought that only servants would miss fighting on the battlefield. I didn't expect that Your Majesty is still thinking about the battlefield now that you are a king. You can't tell those The ministers were scared to death."

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Those courtiers, if they knew that he had the idea of ​​going to the battlefield, they probably would have been scared out of their wits.

but…

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said, "Just wait, sooner or later, I will take you to the battlefield for two more rounds."

When the dog heard this, he immediately became more energetic.

"okay."

While Zhu Di was talking, he turned around and said, "Let's get down to business, go and call San Bao over. This year Zhen Wu appointed An Nan to be able to get him in order, and his fleet must also be ready this year. At the latest next year, he will have to give it to Lao Tzu." Let's go by boat."

The dog went away at the sound.

Speaking of which, he was actually a little envious of Sanbao, but unfortunately, he didn't have the ability of Sanbao, and he couldn't envy some things.

At this moment, the people in the capital also witnessed the scene of Zhen Wu setting off with the army. They were excited and looking forward to it. These days, the incident of Annan attacking and killing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty has long been rumored. People all over the country More or less there is a feeling of common hatred.

As a kingdom of heaven, they have the most basic sense of pride. Even though their own lives may be a mess, they can still muster an inexplicable sense of superiority when facing barbarians from all directions.

It's like people in the high-latitude world have always been looking down at the low latitudes.

The little barbarians have learned from us since ancient times, how dare they deceive the Lord? !
How can this not teach a lesson.

For a while, tea stalls, restaurants, brothels, etc., were discussing the matter of Zhen Wu's southern expedition. Many insightful people analyzed to everyone that Zhen Wu would win, but there were still many people who did not understand military affairs. People who don't dare to believe it for sure.

In their hearts, this is war after all.

And there is no certainty in war. When Jingnan was in trouble, a group of people still said that the court would win. What happened?It's not that the King of Yan has taken over the country.

What if Zhen Wu made a mistake and was careless now?
Wouldn't that be a complete shame.

They absolutely cannot accept this result.

So, these people began to pray secretly in their hearts. In the quiet of the night, they prayed that Zhen Wu could beat Annan with such force, and prayed that when the military report of victory came, they could enjoy the spirit of this battle. feast on.

They are also looking forward to, through a war, to preserve their sense of superiority as a kingdom of heaven, and at the same time let those barbarians recognize the facts.

A barbarian is a barbarian.

As long as he is dishonest, he will be beaten as a dog.

Especially in some military families, there are more discussions on this matter.

Xue Lu's home in Beiping.

During dinner at night, Cao Lulan, Xue Lu's daughter-in-law, also said angrily: "You said that Mongolia in the north came to bully us, and that's all. The barbarians in the south dare to bully us. Is there any reason for this? It really pissed me off."

While drinking the porridge, Xue Lu said casually, "Why are you so angry, Boss Zhen is in command to set off and teach them a lesson."

Cao Lulan smiled sarcastically and said, "Aren't I worried about accidents?"

Ok?
Xue Lu put down the bowl, smiled confidently and said, "Accident? How can there be an accident when Boss Zhen makes a move? You can just wait for the news with peace of mind."

"Really?"

"Really." Xue Lu said with certainty.

Xue Lu's son Xue Xun rolled his eyes at this moment and said to his mother: "Mother, don't worry now, how many times have I told you that you don't believe me, you will always believe what my father said."

Cao Lulan narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "I believe it, I am afraid that there will be some accident, and I am afraid that it will make those barbarians jump up and down again. Those white-eyed wolves are the most annoying."

Not really.

There are always some small countries, ungrateful, jumping up and down, and can't even face up to their past.

At the same time, those old neighbors in Fengwei Hutong and Qingshui Hutong, Zhang Wu, Cao Xiaoman and other Zhen Wu's old subordinates were also chatting. Those who fanatically trusted Zhen Wu built up confidence for those around them. , and at the same time looking forward to the news of victory being delivered earlier.

It would also make some people who have no confidence in Zhen Wu completely shut up.

……

On the other side, Zhen Wu and his group stopped and went until the end of April, when they came to Taiping Mansion in Guangxi. Zhen Wu checked the preparation of food and grass for the first time, and then summoned all the generals who had been appointed this time in the mansion. Officer, I plan to lecture the generals before going down to inspect the various troops.

These generals include Beijing officials, but most of them are local military officers like Guerrilla General and General Yingyang. their troops.

Even though he had gone through the files of those generals and learned about the drills of their respective troops, Zhen Wu could judge the character of each general more accurately only after seeing them in person, and how The spirit of every team.

When Zhen Wu was waiting for someone to come over, he was chatting with Zhang Fu, Liu Sheng and others. While chatting, Zhen Wu suddenly looked at Cheng Kuan, the commander of the capital. To deal with it, Zhen Wu specially asked him to come here, so he specially asked Zhu Di to approve a batch of firearms and bring them here.

"This time, whether it's the previous pass and the heavy cities of many countries that need heavy artillery to bombard him, or the convenience of the loyal weapon in the mountains and forests, firearms can play a big role, so you must cherish this actual combat experience, As long as you do well this time, I guarantee that you will have a bright future in the future, and you must have heard that His Majesty has discussed with me the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, which specializes in firearms, do you understand me?"

Cheng Kuan excitedly said: "I understand, General, please rest assured, I will not disappoint the General."

Zhen Wu nodded.

He is very confident in Daming's current firearms.

But Liu Sheng asked with bright eyes at this moment: "General, Your Majesty really wants to form the Shenji Battalion?"

Zhen Wu glanced at him and said: "Don't worry about it, you bastard, you think I don't know about you? You first let me take care of the navy."

Liu Sheng smiled awkwardly.

As the few of them chatted, other generals gradually arrived, and everyone who came in came to see Zhen Wu first, and Zhen Wu took the trouble to say a few words to everyone.

For those who are dull and always do things with their heads down, Zhen Wu will praise them for their achievements that they are proud of in the past. As for those who have the ability, Zhen Wu will briefly discuss with the other party a few words about how to govern the army.

In short, after seeing him for a while, Zhen Wu not only calmed down these local officials, but also cheered up their emotions, as if they had met Bole in a trance.

After everyone arrived, Zhen Wu knocked on the table. Zhen Wu, who had been gossiping with everyone with a gentle face just now, suddenly became hardened.

The aura gained from years of experience in the battlefield was unleashed without reservation.

He said in a deep voice: "Since everyone has seen it before, I won't say much about the unnecessary words. Today I just want to tell you about my attitude. This battle is the first in my Yongle years. Your Majesty and I invite If you fail to succeed, you will die in Annan, so I hope that everyone will show their housekeeping skills and fight with me to the death. When we win, everyone will be happy, and everyone will be promoted and get rich together. Go out or shrink back in fear of death, for the sake of my own head, I don't mind beheading a few heads to sacrifice the flag first, understand?"

All the generals should confess in unison.

Zhen Wu glanced at everyone, as if he could see through everyone's heart, and then, Zhen Wu said with a calm expression: "Of course, if anyone performs well during this period, I will personally ask him for credit. I have checked Lao Tzu's style of work, I have never been stingy in promoting subordinates, but whether I have the ability to let Lao Tzu promote depends on everyone's performance, and I will tell you bluntly today that after this battle, some people present will definitely be crowned and promoted. However, I don't know exactly who will fall on it, you might as well look at your colleagues around you in the blink of an eye, and boldly guess who will become prosperous from now on."

As soon as these words fell, the blood in the hearts of the generals burned up.

Those who serve as soldiers are not for the purpose of being promoted.

When this opportunity falls into his hands, who would be willing to let the people around him snatch it away, and who would be willing to face colleagues at the same level at this time in the future and still need to meet.

fight!
Must not be left behind.

Immediately there are generals who stand up and ask for orders, to be the vanguard and fight the first battle.

Immediately afterwards, there was a noisy scramble in the hall, even Zhang Fu was no exception, and wanted to make a head start himself.

Zhen Wu was very satisfied watching this scene.

Only when soldiers fight to fight can they display their combat effectiveness.

When the noise was lively, Cheng Liang came in suddenly, and he whispered in Zhen Wu's ear: "Huang Zhong and Lu Yi have arrived."

Zhen Wu nodded, then knocked on the table to silence everyone.

"Bring Huang Zhong and Lu Yi up." Zhen Wu ordered.

Cheng Liang went away in response.

The generals looked at this scene, and they understood for a moment that Zhen Wu was going to deal with Huang Zhong and Lu Yi. Speaking of which, Huang Zhong and Lu Yi had high official positions. After they returned from the defeat, they were left idle in Guangxi , Waiting for the court's decision.

After Huang Zhong and Lu Yi came in, they knelt down in front of Zhen Wu with a plop.

Zhen Wu looked at Huang Zhong and Lu Yi with a murderous look in his eyes. He really wanted to kill these two people, especially Huang Zhong. He didn't believe that Zhu Gaoxu hadn't reminded Huang Zhong. In the end, Huang Zhong accidentally fell into Ruan Feiming's ambush , Huang Zhong should bear the main responsibility for the death of more than [-] soldiers.

However, before leaving, Zhu Di made a statement that if they were worthy of use, he would give them a chance. After all, the cause of this incident was still with Zhu Gaoxu, and it was impossible for Zhu Gaoxu to be punished. The head was cut off, and these two people were always the ones who followed Zhu Di when Jing Nan was in trouble, Zhu Di was also a little bit reluctant.

Zhen Wu was rather annoyed by this.

Both Huang Zhong and Huang Zhong lowered their heads at this moment, their faces were hot. They could completely imagine how angry Zhen Wu was at the moment, because they had also suffered a lot these days.

Especially when they thought of that arrogant Ruan Feiming, they woke up from their dreams angrily yelling every night.

If you don't kill this thief, the shame will never go away.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "General, I was defeated in the battle, and I knew that my crime was unforgivable, but I was unwilling to do so. I asked the general to give me a chance to participate in this battle, so that I could personally pay for those who died in battle. The officers and men will take revenge."

Lu Yi also roared in pain: "General, I have been in the army for many years, and I have never been humiliated like this. I also ask the general to give me a chance. I am willing to be the vanguard of death, and I will never die with the enemy."

Zhen Wu withdrew his gaze from them, closed his eyes to calm down, and then asked Zhang Fu and the others: "What do you think?"

Zhang Fu is intelligent, when he heard Zhen Wu's question, he immediately understood that Zhen Wu was waiting for them to intercede for Huang Zhong and Huang Zhong, otherwise they would have been beheaded long ago according to Zhen Wu's style, so what else would they say?

Therefore, Zhang Fu stood up and said: "General, Huang Zhong and Lu Yi have made many contributions in the past, and they have always been willing to risk their lives for bloody battles. I suggest you give them a chance."

Zhen Wu nodded, then turned to look at Huang Zhong and the two of them: "This time it's about Zhang Fu's pleading, don't say I won't give you a chance."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu said coldly: "Military discipline officer!"

"Humble position." Two military discipline officers stood up.

Zhen Wu looked at Huang Zhong and Huang Zhong coldly and said, "Let's go to Huang Zhong and Lu Yi, and temporarily take the position of Qianhu. Afterwards, I will conquer Annan. You will stare at them. If you violate any military laws, you will be punished twice!"

"As ordered."

"Huang Zhong, Lu Yi." Zhen Wu then said loudly.

"The humble job is here." The two answered in unison.

Zhen Wu stood up, and said in a deep voice: "I will give you the opportunity to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds. From today onwards, you will be incorporated into the first echelon of vanguard. You must be the first in every battle, and you will be afraid of being killed. As for whether you will survive, or whether you will be able to return to your original position , depends on your abilities."

"Impressive order!"

"Okay, let's go down to organize the army, and the troops will send out Annan in half a month." Zhen Wu said.

The generals responded and then dispersed one after another.

In the next half month, Zhen Wu led Zhang Fu to go around all the troops, and after getting a general understanding of the situation of all the soldiers, he marched towards Annan in a mighty manner.

At this time, Zhen Wu also found out, and Ruan Feiming sent his most valued general, Ruan Zifeng, to lead [-] troops to Ailiu Pass, arrogantly posing as if he was going to fight Zhen Wu with horses and horses. Stance.

When Zhang Fu and others discussed countermeasures with Zhen Wu, they were not worried about this, but they were a little worried that Laos and other places would take advantage of this opportunity to make some small moves.

Zhen Wu dismissed it, and immediately wrote a letter, which was urgently sent to Laos and the King of Champa, and told them unceremoniously: Daming is going to clean up Annan, you should manage your own territory, and don't meddle indiscriminately. Give Lao Tzu a good look at your respective borders. If Hu and his son escape from your borders, Lao Tzu will take care of you together.

Zhang Fu and the others were a little dumbfounded.

Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows and said: "What? You are afraid of shit, these small countries don't have many soldiers, so what if they unite, I just took care of them all together, not to mention they are still fighting endlessly, dare to meddle with Lao Tzu What? I, Da Ming and An Nan, even if they are fools, they know how to stand in line, how can I be polite to them?"

The generals seemed to feel Zhen Wu's arrogance.

Everyone's eyes were red, and they wished they could reach Annan immediately and kill him.

……

　Thank you for the 600 tipping from 'Mist in the Dust', as well as the tipping from 'Liberty Bear' and 'Spicy Chicken Tiao', thank you to the three bosses, 'Spicy Chicken Tiao' I remember giving rewards several times, thank you.

　　In addition, let me briefly say that Huang Zhong and Lu Yi were not demoted in history, and it was Lu Yi who won the first battle. Later, Lu Yi was appointed as the capital of Cochin, and both commanders. Later, he failed to suppress the rebellion with Mu Sheng. Even if he was captured, he would rather die than surrender. .

　　As for Huang Zhong, when Zhang Fu conquered Annan for the second time, he directly cut off Huang Zhong's sacrificial flag, which was not effective in fighting.
