People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

According to Zhang Yixun's reputation, there are at least 3000 to [-] Shenji Battalion soldiers currently training on the school grounds.

Two to three thousand people shot together.

This movement is indeed not small.

"My father has come to see you and is very impressed with you. This Shenji Battalion is currently only an infantry unit. If you follow my father's vision and add lancers, there may be even greater surprises..."

Zhu Di turned around and asked Zhang Yi:
"Brother Zhang, do you think that if the Shenji Battalion appears on the northern battlefield, it can make great achievements?"

Zhu Yuanzhang plans to drag the new Shenji Battalion to the northern battlefield?
Zhu Di accidentally revealed some military information.

Zhang Yi thought thoughtfully. In the original historical trajectory, the Shenji Battalion he set up had always been to protect key areas in the capital, rather than being sent to the front lines of the battlefield.

But after Zhang Yi thought about it, he understood. ,
In the original time and space, the Ming Dynasty did not have such a large industrial production capacity.

Matchlock guns are considered advanced weapons for today's daimyo.

Not to mention a better flintlock than an arquebus.

The emperor would definitely prefer to leave the best things to the imperial army guarding the capital.

But with the production capacity of this tiger's nest, arming a Shenji battalion is not a problem at all.

After the production capacity problem is solved, the emperor will definitely want to take the firearms unit to the north to test the waters.
In fact, the ancients did not rest on their laurels.

Both the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty's army have records of using firecrackers.

They are just weapons. If the weapon is easy to use, there is no reason why others won't use it.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty's firecrackers are not easy to use.

In the upcoming battle that will determine the fate of the country, Lao Zhu will also bet his fortune on it. '

Using Dadu as bait, if you want to lure Wang Baobao into the cave, you can only use Dadu, the former dynasty, as a bet. Zhu Yuanzhang had long planned to move the capital to Dadu!

If he loses the bet, all his efforts over the years may be in vain.

But the emperor did not lack the determination to gamble!

Pulling the Shenji Camp out is also one of the bets.

"feasible……"

It is unrealistic to expect muskets to kill everyone on the battlefield.

But if the musketeers are placed on a well-chosen battlefield, there may be something to look forward to.

The most convenient thing about Musketeer is that it is easy to get started and has strong adaptability.

As long as there is enough ammunition, it is very easy to train a group of people.

Just like the Shenji Battalion below, they have not been training for three months, but they are already somewhat like the Lancers that Zhu Di wants. I'm afraid they won't be able to train them for a while...

"The Shenji Battalion is equipped with thunder guns. Outside, our output of fire guns is even higher!
Those things were worked overtime to produce. Before the war comes, I hope to get together [-] muskets! "

If there is a musket that can be equipped with [-] muskets, it would be very terrifying.

Especially if the musket goes into battle for the first time, it may create many surprises.

"That poor Taoist is in Yingtian Mansion, waiting to witness the historical moment!"

"I really envy you. I want to go north, but my father doesn't allow it..."

When Zhu Di mentioned this, he was full of envy.

He will not get married until next year. After the marriage, he will probably have the power to declare a vassal.

Moreover, in the context of the Ming Dynasty's decision to move the capital, it is unknown how long Zhu Di, the King of Yan, will be able to serve.

Maybe, the future King Yan will become King Ning, maybe.

Unlike Zhu Xi who was stubborn and refused to join the feudal clan in the past, Zhu Di naturally yearned for the battlefield.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. There will be plenty of opportunities to eliminate the Northern Yuan Han Court in the future..."

"Wait, no, you are going to the north...?"

Only then did Zhu Di react and stared at Zhang Yi with wide eyes.

This was the first time he heard the news that Zhang Yi was going to the north, and he was instinctively panicked.

What will Zhang Yi do when he goes to the north?
Is it?

Zhang Yi turned a blind eye to Zhu Di's expression, but told Zhu Di many thoughts about what he would know later.

Zhu Di's attention quickly shifted to the training itself.

Zhang Yi bid farewell to Zhu Di and learned the news about Zhu Xi from Zhu Di.

He met Wu Baohe, chatted with these people, and after encouraging him, he went to visit Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xi was studying the sea chart at the place where he used to live.

Zhang Yi rarely saw such caring Zhu Xi, so he simply stayed aside and did not disturb him.

Zhu Fang studied for a while and then discovered Zhang Yi's arrival.

"You're here. I heard you're ready to leave?"

In a sense, Zhu Xi still has authority in Jinyiwei.

Zhu Di knew the news before he could, but Zhu Ping knew it in advance.

"Your Majesty, if you don't work hard to create humans, you won't be able to get out no matter how much you study!"

"Hey Zhang Yi, are you making fun of me?"

Zhu Feng was furious, but within a few seconds, he broke the power himself.

He smiled proudly and said:
"You probably don't know that the princess is already happy..."

Zhang Yi: ...

It must have been very hard for Zhu Xi in the past few months after his marriage, right?

While others enjoy the process, he probably expects the results to come out.

But looking at his proud look, Zhang Yi vaguely felt the infatuated gene of Lao Zhu's family.

Probably, his union with Guanyin Nu was really a tragedy.

"You go to the north, and I also want to find Mr. Chang..."

"Your Highness is going south, and I am going north!

Then please ask His Highness to wait in the south to hear the good news, and then go to Zhejiang to bid farewell to His Highness! "

"I'm afraid if you leave first, I have to make more preparations..."

The two of them didn't have much entanglement on this issue. Zhang Yi talked to Zhu Ping about some details and how to reasonably hide the truth from the north.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Fang, Zhang Yi quietly left the capital.

On the day he left, Zhu Yuanzhang received the news immediately.

"Father, the Zhang family brother should be looking for us this time, right?"

"It's okay, just come back and find an excuse to say you're not here... By the way, is there any news ahead?"

"According to the news from the front, Mobei's army has moved!
Duke Cao Guo also sensed the news of the mobilization of troops and horses from the north and was on alert!

However, the main force of the Mongols seems to be targeting Taiyuan, Shanxi..."

Zhu Biao read the information he knew to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the map, stared at it, and shook his head:

"There is no point in taking Taiyuan...

They are playing a game of attacking from the east to the west, and the opponent's target must be Peiping...

And if you want to capture Peiping, you must conquer this place..."

Kaiping...

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a place on the map and said in a deep voice.

Take Kaiping and go all the way north...

Peking Mansion is just around the corner.

Lao Zhu and Xu Da's predictions were both in Beiping, and the place where Xu Da went to make arrangements in advance was also in Beiping.

Zhu Biao said:
"Father, won't you stop the Zhang family's younger brother from going to Peking?"

"No need to stop it, anyway..."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not say any more.

He stared at Beiping Mansion and remained silent!

A month later, the front line reported.

In the Shanxi area, Mongolian troops began to invade the border.

The Ming army and the Mongolian army fought, with each other winning or losing. ,
But it is obvious that the opponent has gathered a lot of troops this time and the fighting situation is dangerous.

The emperor ordered Li Wenzhong to rush to Shanxi's aid, and at the same time ordered his deputy general Fu Youdejian to start a battle!
Li Wenzhong took the order and led his army to Shanxi... Everything went in the direction Zhu Yuanzhang expected.

"Will they come to Peiping..."

Peking Mansion!
Zhang Yi and an old man were sitting face to face...

The other party was very confident and said:

"It must have come...

It's just that Wang Baobao must be careful with his troops. Even if we do so much, he will still instinctively suspect that we are setting up a trap!

So you can't show it too easily, you have to make him work hard to make him believe it!

But after Kaiping is captured, the real battle will begin...

If they want to come up with results, they must capture Beiping Mansion as quickly as possible!
But this was the capital of the previous dynasty, and His Majesty has been determined to build it in recent years. It has long been impossible to win it overnight!
As long as we hold on to Beiping, he won't be able to capture it so quickly..."

If we can’t win Peiping, there’s no point!
Zhang Yi knows this very well!

"What do you think of Uncle Xu?"

The old man in front of Zhang Yi is actually Xu Da after he put on makeup.

Although Xu Da looked old, his energy was as good as ever at this time.

"Because they have people in Beiping Mansion... This is also a gift left to them by His Majesty..."

Xu Da's words made Zhang Yi take a breath. Zhu Yuanzhang's layout had other routes besides him.

But this is not surprising. If Lao Zhu didn't prepare a complete plan, how could this be possible?

After all, it took Daming at least half a year to do this from the time he prepared to set up the situation.

Among the Ming army, there were many generals from the Northern Yuan Dynasty...

But the generals of the previous dynasty will definitely not be reused in the army...

So, how did the emperor arrange the person who reassured Wang Baobao?

"Just watch it..."

Xu Da seemed to see Zhang Yi's doubts and comforted him softly.

Zhang Yi nodded when he heard this. He didn't know enough about military matters and was not interested in expressing any opinions.

This war is about intelligence.

Since the imperial court has done all the information for this purpose, there is no reason why it should not be handled well...

The emperor set a bait for Wang Baobao and the emperor of Beiyuan. This bait was the capital of the former dynasty, now Beiping!

After Wang Baobao captured Kaiping, he had to capture Beiping Mansion with lightning speed to be considered successful. ,
Xu Da was counting on Wang Baobao's nervousness. As long as he captured Kaiping, he didn't have much time to make a steady move and had to capture Beiping Mansion quickly.

And his speed was the source of his failure.

When he found that his way back was cut off, he had no chance...

"This battle is not only about capturing the main force of the Yuan army, but I also want to capture Wang Baobao alive..."

Zhang Yi nodded silently, feeling a little excited.

This battle was unknown in history books, and it was history that he could witness with his own eyes.

Beiping Mansion seems to be peaceful with singing and dancing.

Although the army is heavily guarded, it has no intention of deploying force.

Although this city is no longer the capital of the country, it has become a lot more lonely because it has become a war front line.

However, the accumulation of more than 80 years in the previous dynasty is still enough to support the current prosperity.

"This place will be very lively in the future, but it's a pity not to see old friends!"

Zhang Yi's casual emotion made Xu Da sweat slightly.

The old friend Zhang Yi was looking for was His Majesty the Emperor.

However, Lao Zhu did let Jin Yiwei run a large industry in the name of Huanghe over the years.

Zhang Yi came to Peiping and found these things.

But Huang He happened to be absent, which made Zhang Yi quite disappointed.

Xu Da was speechless when he heard Zhang Yi's emotion...

The emperor and Zhang Yi recognized each other. He didn’t know when it would happen. As an insider, he could only try his best to cover up for the emperor:

"It doesn't matter if you're not here, Beiping Mansion will soon be covered by the flames of war!

Being able to stay away from the flames of war is a good thing after all! "

Zhang Yi nodded silently. Even he could not control the cruelty of war.

This involves the layout of the national destiny, and it is unknown how many people will be innocently implicated.

The war of blood and fire has always been cruel...

"Beiping will become a lock that firmly traps the Mongols, buying our army time to cut off their retreat...

You stay in the capital, I will leave tomorrow..."

Xu Da, as the manipulator of this matter, will not stay in Beiping Mansion!
Zhang Yi nodded silently and allowed the general to leave.

Next to him stood Zhou Tong.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask:

"Master Zhou, actually I have a question that I don't understand!
If I were Wang Baobao, wouldn't he know the layout of the northern army?

Where would General Xu find a surprise force to cut off Wang Baobao's retreat? "

In fact, he has never understood this problem.

Zhou Tong also couldn’t understand:

"Zhenzhen Zhang, this is no longer something we can consider...

But if you ask another troop, I know a little bit..."

Zhou Tong shared the information he knew with Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi's expression became strange.

……

"So are you sure that Li Wenzhong's army is in Taiyuan?"

"Yes?"

"Where is Fu Youde?"

"Where are Lan Yu's troops?"

Mobei...

Guanyinnu sat on the edge of the camp, listening to his brother asking about the situation ahead.

There are countless messages flowing into the camp through various channels.

Wang Baobao kept asking various questions in front of the sand table.

The scouts in Mobei were responsible for answering his questions.

When the answer he wanted was confirmed, Wang Baobao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He waved:

"ready to go!"

The men began to disperse silently, and the sound of breaking out of camp was heard from outside.

But Guanyin Nu witnessed with her own eyes that her brother, who was as majestic as a giant, fell down on the chair.

"elder brother!"

"I'm fine...

The overall situation is decided..."

Wang Baobao was very tired, but his eyes were full of fanatical joy:
“I have always felt that this thing was going too smoothly, but I just had to take action!
Everyone says that after I defeated Xu Da in Lingbei, I will definitely be able to bring Mobei back to the Central Plains in the future. Even His Majesty has high expectations for me!
But only I understand that we can’t go back!
Now, with a God-given opportunity, the emperor of Ming Dynasty destroyed the Great Wall, but even so, it is not easy for me, Mobei, to return to the Central Plains!
Your brother, I only have this chance in this life! "

"Brother, do you suspect there is fraud?"

Guanyinnu heard what Wang Baobao meant.

Wang Baobao nodded and shook his head:
“After I verified this matter in many ways, there is indeed no problem!

Now that the layout of the Ming army has been determined, there is no longer any doubt about this matter!

Regardless of whether someone wants to ambush us, he must first have soldiers..."

Wang Baobao was completely relieved to be able to confirm that the main troops in the north were where they should be.

"Let's go, brother will take you to see the prosperous times in the Central Plains, and go to your hometown to pay homage to your uncle..."

Wang Baobao took Guanyinnu's hand and walked out of the tent. (End of chapter)
