Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 406 I can’t march and fight, but I can do it with food and grass.

"Sigh~"

When she woke up, Su Jing suddenly found that the sky outside the window was a little dim.

"Good guy, you really can't drink too much at noon."

Su Jing shook her head, feeling helpless that her nap took too long at noon.

As a result, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fall asleep at night.

Su Jing quickly stood up, opened the door and came to the yard. She had to hurry up and finish the second wheel.

Although it is very rough and has not even been polished, what Su Jing wants now is just a simple shelf.

The main thing is to practice, and the later finishing and polishing will be carried out after the wood has arrived.

"gentlemen."

As soon as Su Jing sat down, she heard a voice coming from the door of the courtyard.

By reputation, it was Zhu Di.

"King Yan, why are you here?"

Su Jing was curious, but she understood casually: "You also asked your father to come to study with me, right?"

Zhu Di walked into the courtyard, came to Su Jing and saluted: "Yes, Mr. Su."

"You arrived earlier than King Qin and King Jin. Could it be that you set off early?"

Su Jing asked with a smile.

Zhu Di replied: "No, the student is good at horses, so he came directly on horseback, which is faster."

Su Jing nodded, not surprised.

Among the princes, Su Jing was definitely the most impressed by his understanding of Zhu Di.

Of course, it is not the impression of teachings in this life, but the history books I read in my previous life.

Even though Prince Zhu Biao studied with him for more than half a year, the most he knew was what Zhu Biao was like when he was young.

As for Zhu Di, Su Jing, the life-long soldier of Emperor Yongle, is very familiar.

Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the most famous was definitely Lao Zhu, followed by Zhu Di.

Of course, Su Jing also knew that because of her appearance, history was quietly changing, and perhaps the Yongle Emperor could no longer be the Yongle Emperor.

"sit down."

Su Jing greeted Zhu Di, and then continued to do carpentry.

Zhu Di watched Su Jing's movements, took the initiative to come to her side and said, "Mr. Su, are there any students who can help?"

Su Jing paused and said, "Then help me sweep away the sawdust in the yard."

"Okay, Mr. Su."

Zhu Di immediately picked up the broom on the side and started cleaning directly.

less talking, more working.

Zhu Di didn't do any homework before he came.

Because Su Jing had just started carpentry, she didn't pay much attention to Zhu Di when she was in high spirits.

It didn't take long for Zhu Di to clean the yard.

Even though Zhu Di, as a prince, had never done this kind of cleaning work in the palace, the quality of the work done now was absolutely acceptable.

At least at first glance, there's basically nothing wrong with it.

After sweeping the floor, Zhu Di wanted to ask Su Jing if he had any other work, but found that Su Jing was very focused on doing carpentry, so he did not interrupt, but stood aside silently.

He didn't know how long it took, but the sun had already set in the west for a long time, the sunlight was much dim, and it was not easy for Su Jing to continue, before he stood up.

"Prince Yan, I'm sorry, I fell into a trance all of a sudden."

Su Jing suddenly realized that there was Zhu Di beside her, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

Lao Zhu's son, the future Emperor Yongle, was left in the dark for a long time.

Su Jing herself felt it was a bit excessive.

"Mr. Su, the students are fine. Your business is more important than the students."

Zhu Di replied very sternly, and his tone was incomprehensible.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Di and felt that he seemed to have a more military temperament than when he saw him before.

"Prince Yan is so polite. It's not easy to ride here on horseback. Let's go to the street to eat first."

Su Jing greeted.

Su Jing was very excited about horse riding when she first came to Ming Dynasty, because Su Jing was an equestrian enthusiast in her previous life and had even signed up for an equestrian training class.

Su Jing was extremely excited every time she rode a horse.

But in her previous life, riding horses was more troublesome. She had to go to the racecourse. Su Jing was a boss and was very busy, so it was rare to ride a horse a few times throughout the year.

But Daming is different. Horse riding can be used as a daily transportation method in Daming.

When something can be done continuously, Su Jing can feel its essence.

Riding a horse is really tiring!

Especially after a long time, the top people will become very weak. Without long-term training, they will not be able to persist.

Therefore, when Su Jing traveled far away, he always used a carriage, and he disliked the bumpiness of the carriage, so he took great pains to study the rubber tires.

Everything is for comfort.

Zhu Di was only a teenager, but he was able to ride directly from the capital to Lishui County. In addition to his talent in horseback riding, he also had absolute perseverance.

People always like to associate, and Su Jing now regards this perseverance as the reason why Zhu Di later became the Yongle Emperor.

But when such a thought flashed through her mind, Su Jing smiled.

What are you doing?
Looking for questions with answers?

Is a person's success really due to these excellent traits?

Successful people can always find countless excellent things, but there are no losers?

Su Jing is someone who has experienced ups and downs in the business world and has met many outstanding and even genius people.

"Fortunately, students usually like to ride horses, so this distance is nothing."

Zhu Di's answer pulled Su Jing out of her thoughts.

The two of them soon arrived at the Jinling Hotel. After all, Zhu Di was traveling all the way, so he couldn't take him to Shaxian County.

Of course, Zhu Di himself had no opinion on what to eat.

In the private room, Su Jing asked: "King Yan, when you come here this time, you probably still want to learn some military formations and tactics, right?"

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Mr. Su is right. The students have benefited a lot from the large-depth combat theory I learned from Mr. Su last time, so I would like to ask for more advice from Mr. Su."

As a small army fan, Zhu Di really likes to study the marching formation and the confrontation between the two armies.

But Su Jing really doesn't know much about this thing.

"It's good to have something to gain."

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's just that, to be honest, I'm not good at fighting. What I taught you before is almost all I have. If you still want to learn this, you might as well ask your father for advice, or They are generals like Wei Guogong. I guess they will be back soon during this Northern Expedition."

"The actual combat operations on this front line will definitely be much better to teach King Yan than my words on paper."

Humanity has been in constant war since ancient times, although the development of science and technology has led to the upgrade of weapons.

But military strategy can last forever. Su Jing asked herself that her military skills were very low. In the early Ming Dynasty, when there were many fierce generals, she was just a little Kalami.

As a prince, Zhu Di will definitely not lack the guidance of famous generals, so he should not let others down.But when the words fell into Zhu Di's ears, it was different.

Whether it was the previous mandarin duck formation or the large-depth combat theory, in Zhu Di's view, they were extremely advanced military strategies.

Now Su Jing says she doesn't understand, which is completely self-effacing.

"Mr. Su, I think the students can still learn a lot from you. If there is anything about the students that makes the teacher unhappy, the students will correct it."

Zhu Di is a straightforward person, outspoken and outspoken.

He thought that Su Jing was dissatisfied with him, so he was unwilling to teach him.

He had learned about the situation when his second brother Zhu Xi and third brother Zhu Fan came to Su Jing's place before, and Su Jing taught them a lot.

How come I don't understand much when I open my mouth, so why should I ask other people for advice?
Su Jing smiled helplessly and looked at Zhu Di, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

However, Zhu Di's outspoken personality suited him very well.

Say whatever you want, don't hide it.

"Let's eat first, and talk while eating."

Su Jing could only let Zhu Di eat first and think about what to say to Zhu Di.

"Yes, Mr. Su."

Zhu Di nodded and started eating immediately.

Riding all the way here, Zhu Di ate all dry food. He had been hungry for a long time, so he devoured it now.

"By the way, King Yan, did your father ask you to bring me a message this time?"

Su Jing thought of Lao Zhu and asked.

Zhu Di replied: "Yes, Mr. Su."

He wiped his mouth, swallowed everything in his mouth, and then said: "Father asked me to tell Mr. Su, if you don't want to just make excuses, you won't know what to say. You must at least say it first." Know."

That was Zhu Di's retelling of the "original words". He conveyed exactly what Lao Zhu said at the time.

Su Jing was not too surprised when she heard this.

How to change the Ming Dynasty? Find your own way!
This is Su Jing's core reply, and Lao Zhu just wants to hear Su Jing's opinion.

"Does your father still want me to reply to him?"

Su Jing asked Zhu Di with a smile.

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "Father said no, you don't know how to talk anyway, so what are you doing spreading nonsense?"

"Hahahaha!"

Su Jing laughed out loud. He could imagine Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's anger when they said these words.

Zhu Di lowered his head, admiring Su Jing in his heart.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, his own son always had to be submissive and did not dare to breathe heavily.

Su Jing was able to anger her father, but nothing happened.

In the eyes of the young Zhu Di, Su Jing was the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who could do it except his mother.

"What about your mother? Did you come here with anything this time? Is there some fate that is coming?"

Su Jing stopped her smile and asked again.

Su Jing has always been nervous about Queen Ma's blind date, but he still prefers to take the initiative to understand rather than passively accept it.

Su Jing is not opposed to marriage.

Zhu Di shook his head: "No, the Queen Mother just asked me to tell Mr. Su to remember to take care of himself."

Ok?
Su Jing was stunned. She didn't expect that there would be no follow-up to what happened last time.

Do not!wrong!

Su Jing immediately realized that this was definitely not because there was no follow-up, but because Queen Ma had not found a suitable blind date to introduce to her.

"I didn't expect that my marriage would cause the Queen to worry so much. When you go back, King Yan, please remember to tell the Queen that Su Jing thanks the Queen for her concern."

Su Jing sighed slightly.

He also knew some general reasons. When Queen Ma found her future wife, she had to consider many factors. It seemed normal that it was not that easy to find her.

"Yes, the student remembered."

Zhu Di nodded seriously, Su Jing's instructions were the most important.

After a while, the dinner was almost done.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Di and said, "How's it going, King Yan? I'm quite satisfied with the meal."

Zhu Di hurriedly said: "The students eat well, Mr. Su took the trouble."

"What about the taste?"

Su Jing asked again.

Zhu Di replied: "It's very delicious, even compared to the imperial dining room in the palace."

"Hey, is it such a high praise?"

Su Jing smiled and said, "Did you know that your second brother King Qin also opened a Jinling Hotel in the capital?"

"Yes, I heard that my father, the Queen, and my mother even went there to have a meal."

Zhu Di replied.

Su Jing became interested and asked: "How is it? Is it better than my main store?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "This student doesn't know very well. I don't have much research on dishes, and they are not delicious. As long as they are full, students will wear armor and lead troops in battle in the future. The food does not need to be fancy."

Zhu Di's words surprised Su Jing. She had such self-control at such a young age.

"Prince Yan knows his position very well, but since it talks about eating, I have thought of something that I can teach Prince Yan."

Su Jing looked at Zhu Di. She was still thinking about what to teach, but now she had the answer.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he said, "Please give me some advice from Mr. Su. The students must listen carefully."

"Don't worry."

Su Jing stood up and said: "I just ate a lot. Don't sit down directly. Move around a little to eat. It happens that we still have a long way to go back. Let's go."

"I will obey Mr. Su's words."

Zhu Di immediately stood up and followed Su Jing.

On the way, Su Jing said: "King Yan, what do you think food is for the army?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Di's expression changed and he replied: "Mr. Hui, students believe that food is the most important core of the army. As the saying goes, food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved. If there is no food and grass, then no matter how powerful the elite soldiers are, General, it will have no effect."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Su Jing nodded and said: "For the people, food is the sky. Food is the sky for the people. But if it is placed in the army, food is even more important than the sky."

"For example, in Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, in addition to the gap in national power with Wei, another very important factor was the difficulty in transporting grain."

"Even if the genius Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and the dislodged horse, he still could not fundamentally solve the problem. Without the support of food and grass, even a million-strong army would have no choice but to retreat."

"There was also the Battle of Changping, where the Zhao army was deprived of food for more than 40 days and failed without attack. These examples all illustrate the importance of food to the army."

"So, King Yan thinks that the best solution is to solve the problem of food for the army? In other words, how to ensure the safety of military food. I mean multi-faceted security, including the security of supply."

Su Jing was really not good at marching formations, so she could only argue with Zhu Di about how to solve the problem of army food.

Sure enough, when Zhu Di heard this question, he immediately fell into thinking and even stopped.
