People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

In ten days, can Zhang Yi assemble a team that can defeat Zhu Di?

This very challenges Zhu Yuanzhang's cognition.

If Zhang Yi directly trained Zhou Tong and other Jin Yiwei in the imperial edict, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably not have any reaction.

Jin Yiwei is essentially a soldier.

They had basic military training.

But those Taoist priests, Lao Zhu was not bragging, they were able to know how many times they went to the toilet on a given day when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to look for information during their days on Longhu Mountain.

How could these people, who had absolutely no combat experience, develop combat effectiveness within ten days?

Not to mention the most difficult long-range arms to train besides cavalry in the feudal era.

Even a serious infantryman cannot be trained in ten days.

"I must go and see it that day!"

Lao Zhu showed great interest in this matter.

"When the younger brothers of the Zhang family handed over the design drawings of the Xuanwu Cannon, they did not hand over the Palm Thunder!
This shows that he believes that these muskets are more valuable than Xuanwu cannons! "

"That's right, with that kid's perspective, if it weren't for the purpose of informing Zhang Chenggong this time, he might not have surrendered his musketry skills so quickly!"

Lao Zhu and his son didn't know how many things were still in Zhang Yi's mind.

But the father and son knew Zhang Yi well. If there was something that he had been hiding for several years and was unwilling to hand it over, it must be very important.

"My son also wants to follow my father to meet him!"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile as he thought of Zhang Yi.

"Then let's meet him! Just in time, he gave me a reason to [release] him!"

"I'm afraid that the adults in the court will not be very satisfied with my father's decision!"

"They are not even satisfied with my delay in giving a result!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite happy at first, but when he heard Zhu Biao talking about the situation in the DPRK, he couldn't help but snorted.

Hundreds of officials headed by Hu Weiyong, this time using the auction house operation as a fulcrum, began to attack Jin Yiwei.

The clamor for the abolition of Jinyiwei became loud and noisy.

Zhu Yuanzhang could feel a trace of pressure from civil servants.

The conflict between the Jin Yiwei and the civil servants further intensified, but the emperor took no action, so they targeted Zhang Yi at the breach.

It is said that people who commit crimes do not investigate themselves.

It is recommended that Zhang Yi and others be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial and should not be directly investigated by Jin Yiwei.

This is actually a disguised form of helping institutions such as the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to regain their power.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was planning this incident, he did not expect that the matter would be pushed to such an extent.

Among them, there is one person who is the most crucial, and that is Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong has always been very peaceful since he became prime minister.

He has pretty good abilities and dares to argue hard on specific matters.

And in his dealings with others, he appears to be very low-key.

Lao Zhu was quite satisfied with him, but now, he really showed his edge.

And the timing he chose to launch was also very clever.

This time, Hu Weiyong really took into account both personal grudges and justice.

From the perspective of the prime minister, Hu Weiyong took the initiative to stand up for the officials and tried to end and restrict the Jin Yiwei, which quickly gained the favor of many officials.

Regardless of party affiliation, Jinyiwei is a thorn in the side of the civil servant group.

This time even officials from the eastern Zhejiang faction followed Hu Weiyong in the charge.

Hu Weiyong's reputation and prestige have increased tremendously in just one month.

But if he said he offended the emperor, it wouldn't be possible...

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with him taking the lead, he also understood that this was the normal state of struggle between kings and prime ministers.

Hu Weiyong fought, but it was a measured fight.

On the contrary, Lao Zhu was more disappointed with Wang Guangyang's He Xini than him.

Wang Guangyang came back from his training in Zhejiang, and there was no constraint from Li Shan.

Both in terms of qualifications and prestige, he is much higher than Hu Weiyong.

But even so, he could still be suppressed by Hu Weiyong. It can only be said that he is really not good at it.

Thinking of the turmoil these days, Zhu Yuanzhang said:
"Zhang Yi is still the chess piece, their target is Jin Yiwei himself!
But fighting is a good thing. The bigger the fight, the more the north will see it!
Don't worry about this matter, let Hu Weiyong make trouble..."

"That's right. When the princess arrives in Mobei and joins her brother, the information we get will be more accurate!"

Every move of Guanyin slave back to Mobei was under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.

After setting foot on land again, they became even more careful when walking towards Mobei!

Until this time, Guanyin Nu has not yet broken through the territory of the Ming Dynasty and entered Mobei!
This made Lao Zhu feel a little relieved about his control over the land under his rule.

At least, it hasn't been penetrated to the point of being riddled with holes, and there are fewer and fewer people with dissident intentions.

"I'm looking forward to it..."

……

Ten days passed by in a blink of an eye.

The day agreed upon by Zhang Yi and Zhu Di finally arrived.

After the emperor and the prince went to court in the morning, they were arranged by the royal guards to put on their private clothes again.

They quietly left the palace and walked on the streets of Ming Dynasty.

"Although I have been living in the capital, I feel like I haven't been here for many years..."

In the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and Zhu Ming, who had recently been detained, were all there.

Zhu Biao opened the car curtain and looked at the bustling city with emotion.

The place they passed through at this time was Guanhai Bookstore.

This was the place where he spent the longest time outside the palace, and it was also where he completed his transformation and growth.

There is Zhu Biao’s memory here, but Zhu Fang doesn’t understand:

"Brother, didn't you go out of the palace with your father a while ago?"

"Second brother, it's different. Even if you often leave the palace now, you have never really experienced the life of ordinary people in the market..."

Today, Zhu Biao has a mature enough mentality to guide Zhu Fang:
"If what happened three years ago hadn't sounded the alarm for us, I would also like to take you to experience it!"

Zhu Ping smiled and said:

"Now Yingtian Mansion has probably been cleaned up. I will wait for my elder brother to take me to Yingtian someday!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Biao showed a satisfied smile. He had been waiting for this day for three years.

The environment of Yingtian Mansion has been cleaned up, and he can also find Zhang Yi again as Huang Mu.

Zhu Yuanzhang guessed Zhu Biao's thoughts and had mixed feelings.

The carriage left the city and headed towards the temporary prison.

This building is hidden among the mountains and forests and is very secretive.

When the emperor's carriage and horses approached, the surrounding guards were already on alert.

Lao Zhu is very satisfied with the working attitude of these people.

Zhu Di has already arrived in advance, and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xi and others will not appear in front of them.

Mao Xiang, who had just entered the imperial prison and had not seen him for a long time, had already begun to guide the emperor to the observation room where they should go.

"The competition between Zhang Yi and Lao Si is here?"

Zhu Xi pointed to the school ground below, very curious.

“Back to Your Highness, yes!
His Highness King Yan has already begun to organize his troops and horses. After both parties have discussed the rules, we can start..."

The drill between the two sides was not really hands-on, and it was impossible for Zhang Yi to load live ammunition.

Only by agreeing on appropriate competition rules can the exercise be more conducive to the conduct of the exercise.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and looked at Zhu Di and Zhang Yi who were discussing. "This guy is in good spirits!"

"Brother Zhang's adaptability has always been good!"

During the conversation between father and son, Zhang Yi and Zhu Di began to separate.

Obviously, the competition is about to begin.

Zhu Di returned to his side and mounted his horse.

He waved his hand, and the armored guards beside him roared loudly.

"This guy, Fourth, has a lot of skills!"

The others did not speak, but Zhu Ping was the first to express his opinion.

"After the establishment of the military academy, the fourth child has always been the number one in the school..."

Zhu Biao turned around and gave Zhu Xi a look. Zhu Xi smiled sarcastically. Compared with the fourth child, he could only be regarded as an average leader in terms of leadership.

Compared with Zhu Di, the Taoist priests on Zhang Yi's side obviously lacked military literacy.

They were holding things similar to fire sticks in their hands and were nervously forming formations.

Long-range versus melee combat is also a relatively classic military exercise.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to see what Zhang Yi and the others were doing.

"start!"

Following the referee's order, Zhu Di and his men began to charge towards Zhang Yi.

Use the mobility of the cavalry to catch Zhang Yige off guard.

However, Zhang Yi did not panic at all. He said to Wu Baohe:

"You just treat it as a normal drill and shoot according to the rules!
Wu Baohe nodded, and then the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain began to arrange their troops.

They arranged their phalanx in three rows.

Facing the attack of Zhu Di's army, these Taoist priests did not care and opened fire.

Bang bang bang! 】

Gunpowder was spitting out, and traces of being shot appeared on many people in an instant. According to the acting rules, these people were judged dead and immediately quit the exercise.

Zhu Di had long expected this situation. He commanded:
"They're about to reload, go!"

However, Longhu Mountain soon exceeded Zhu Di's expectations, and the second wave of gunfire sounded.

Another group of people were taken away.

Zhu Di was completely dumbfounded.

Then, the third wave, the fourth wave...

The recurring sound of gunshots can take away some people every time.

"Rush me!"

Zhu Di was a little embarrassed and continued to move forward. At the same time, he also ordered the cavalry to outflank.

The Taoist priests at Longhu Mountain seemed to be a little panicked.

But Zhang Yi just shouted:

"Ignore them, you just shoot."

Bang bang bang!

Zhu Di, who was on the battlefield, could not see the situation, but Zhu Yuanzhang was able to observe the whole situation on the battlefield.

He agreed with Zhu Di's analysis that the firing rate of the musket was indeed very slow.

But after Zhang Yi used his new tactics to divide the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain into three rows, the shortcomings of the muskets had been made up for.

The Taoist priests in the first row shoot, then immediately retreat to the second row to reload, and the cycle repeats.

Moreover, Lao Zhu also immediately discovered that this musket is better than a bow and arrow, that is, this weapon can be used at both distance and distance.

In a normal archer phalanx, once the cavalry breaks through a certain distance.

The method of killing enemies in a parabola is no longer effective right away.

However, Zhu Di had already rushed very close, but still became very desperate under Zhang Yi's three-stage attack tactics!
Although in the end, he rushed to the Longhu Mountain formation, he found that these Longhu Mountain Taoist priests had installed a spiked weapon on their guns.

"Still young for close combat..."

Lao Zhu and the others sitting above looked confused?
The three-stage attack tactic really opened Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

However, the space in the school field was limited. When Zhu Di and his men rushed forward, they thought that Zhang Yi and his men were at the end of their rope.

Who knew that the people from Longhu Mountain actually installed a sharp bayonet on their guns and started fighting with Zhu Di's remaining soldiers.

Then, the Taoist priest who was loaded with ammunition from behind fired another wave of shooting.

Take everyone else away completely!
This battle will end soon.

Longhushan won!
Although Zhu Di finally broke into their phalanx and killed many people.

But in the end, Wu Bao and a bullet fell on him, and Zhu Di, the coach, was killed, completely ending the exercise.

"very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up excitedly.

"Father, although Longhu Mountain won, it was just a miserable victory..."

"Don't you understand, these Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain have only been training for ten days, but you know that the people under the leadership of the Fourth, even including the Fourth himself, have several years of experience...

A group of new recruits defeated the veterans, which already explains the problem!
Moreover, these hot-shots don’t have infantry to cover them. If so, think about it for yourself..."

Although Zhu Biao did not understand military affairs, after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he also realized the horror of Zhang Yi's invention.

The emergence of weapons like muskets is of great significance just by reducing the cost of training.

"What if our cavalry can also use this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was further ahead than they thought. If Zhang Yi knew that the emperor had just glanced at him and had already begun to think in the direction of the Lancers, his jaw would probably have dropped.

……

The emperor didn't say anything, but Zhu Di below found out that he had failed and was a little downcast at first.

But after a while, he regained his energy.

"Zhenren Zhang, your fighting method is very novel. Did you invent it yourself?"

"It's your brother..."

Zhang Yi complained in his heart, but did not say Mu Ying's name.

Daming's application in firearms is definitely at the leading level in the world today.

Whether it is Mu Ying or Zhu Di, they are both experts in the application of firearms.

It’s not that the ancients were conservative, but productivity restricts the development of technology trees.

Not to mention the matchlock gun, the flintlock gun, even if it were to be made hundreds of years later, would be a slow-worked thing and not worthy of equipment at all.

If we want to fully develop firearms, we must at least build up industrial production capabilities in this area.

"Forget it, this kind of strategy is called three-stage attack!"

Zhang Yi told Zhu Di the three-stage attack method, and Zhu Di recorded it carefully.

"This kind of tactics can deal with these muskets..."

"It's a flintlock!"

“Well, the problem with the firing speed of flintlock guns is that their application range is wide!

Master, do you think this would be more powerful if used together with the cavalry and the Ming Dynasty's Xuanwu cannon? "

Zhang Yi was stunned when he heard this, and Zhu Di spoke eloquently about his idea.

"Isn't this the Divine Machine Camp?"

He was a little impressed by Zhu Di. This kid probably hadn't been on the battlefield yet, but many of his ideas were already very mature.

The Shenji Camp is one of Zhu Di's contributions to firearms.

"The Shenji Camp!"

Zhang Yi was talking to himself.

"Shenji Camp, this is a good name. Real person, you haven't answered my question yet?" (End of Chapter)
