Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!
Chapter 388 Jindouzi recognizes his aunt and wins!
Chapter 388 Jindouzi recognizes his aunt and wins! (Thanks to the leader of the alliance, Baiding Li Xiucai)
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, following the two battalions of cavalry commanded by Zhou Lang, rushed across the pontoon bridge and rushed to Lishui County overnight.
The upper reaches of Lishui River.
Lan Yu, the commander of Prince Wei, came to the river bank.
The turbulent river water, illuminated by the torches, rolled forward.
"Third brother, Chang Mao and the others must be nearby and have hid the boat." Lan Yu withdrew her gaze from the river. When she was still some distance away from Lishui, Chang Mao took the initiative and led a group of scouts to take the lead. Villages look for boats.
He guessed it then.
Chang Mao must have cheated.
Collect ships in advance and hide them.
The formulation of the confrontation drill plan involved many people.
Although confidential.
Routes are also determined by drawing lots.
But as for Chang Mao's identity, it's not difficult to find out some details and get some hints in advance.
He suspected that Chang Mao had already collected all the ships along the Lishui River.
Zhu Laosi, don’t even think about getting a boat!
Lishui is not too deep.
The deepest part is only one person deep.
In shallower places, you can directly wade and swim.
But it’s already November.
After wading through the water and swimming to the other side, Army No. [-] Town was all wet, so don’t try to run too fast.
Moreover, once the gunpowder prepared by the imperial court for confrontation drills was soaked in water.
It will also be judged as a loss of combat effectiveness by the judging panel.
And artillery.
By wading and swimming, the artillerymen would not be able to cross the river.
It will also be judged as a loss of combat power.
Helplessness flashed across Xu Da's eyes. Of course he had thought of what Lan Yu had thought of, but there was nothing he could do.
Army No. [-] Town, as a guest army, was unfair from the beginning of the confrontation drill.
Shiro must know it too.
However, as long as the First Army Town tried its best, even if it lost, it would still be an honor.
Thinking of this, Xu Da smiled and said: "Don't think too much, there is no fairness on the battlefield. Compared with the Army's First Town, the two new imperial armies participating in the confrontation drill are fighting locally and naturally have various natural advantages. .
Now it can be regarded as an actual battle. The First Army Town appears as a guest army in Lishui County, which you are defending. On the real battlefield, you will definitely collect and destroy the fishing boats on the Lishui River in advance to prevent the First Army Town from crossing the river easily. Opportunity……"
Lan Yu felt much better after hearing this, but smiled bitterly.
That's right.
Can……
"But if this is the case, and we all lose to the First Army Town, then the real combat effectiveness of these new recruits from the First Army Town will be terrifying! Third Brother!"
This is equivalent to Zhu Laosi leading the Army's First Town into their territory.
Under the conditions of not taking advantage of the right time, place and people.
And gained an advantage!
The first town of the Army cannot be achieved without excellent quality!
Thinking of this, Lan Yu suddenly became energetic.
A strong desire to win flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he especially wanted to see how they tried their best and were in the right place at the right time.
The first town of the Army, does it have excellent qualities?
Overwhelm them!
The smile on Xu Da's lips flashed away.
Lan Yu cleverly captured it, and the sudden look in his eyes flashed away.
Haha ...
Then he laughed heartily and pointed at Xu Da, "Third brother, you are really an old fox! You have encouraged us all the way, but you actually want to see the true quality of your son-in-law's No. [-] army!"
"You even tend to think that we have the right time, place, people, and tried our best, but we are still no match for the Army's No. [-] Town!"
"is not it?"
The smile on Xu Da's face became even stronger.
"Tongzhi, Chang Biaotong is back!"
At this moment, the general beside Lan Yu reminded him.
Xu Da and Lan Yu looked in the direction of the general's finger.
Upstream, more than thirty fishing boats came quickly along the current.
After a while.
Chang Mao landed ashore, and Prince Wei led his soldiers to rush up and began to use fishing boats to build a pontoon bridge on the river.
Chang Mao came to Lan Yu and said with a smile: "Commander, fortunately, I lived up to my command and found 35 fishing boats. I paid to hire them. At the same time, I also spent money to remove some door panels in a nearby village."
Lan Yu looked at Chang Mao and nodded.
If he hadn't completely thought it through before, Chang Mao would report this to him.
He would definitely be unable to bear it and beat Chang Mao to death with a whip.
The 35 fishing boats and door panels were clearly prepared in advance.
Otherwise, how could we find so many fishing boats in such a short period of time.
"Go back to your headquarters and prepare to cross the river."
Chang Mao glanced at Lan Yu suspiciously.
He was prepared to be scolded and questioned by Lan Yu.
'It's strange. Lan Yu didn't guess that I had prepared these boats a long time ago? '
Chang Mao was suspicious and slandered, so he took the order and left in a hurry.
After three sticks of incense.
A pontoon composed of fishing boats and door panels appears on the river.
Lan Yu waved her hand, "Cross the river!"
When the artillery finally crossed the Lishui River, Lan Yu glanced downriver in the direction of the Army's No. [-] Town. Her gaze shifted and fell on Xu Da. She smiled and said, "Third brother, let's go too."
As soon as the voice fell, the horse galloped across the river.
Get off your horse.
Following the soldiers, loudly encouraged: "Quick! Speed up, there are only the last forty miles left, brothers, grit your teeth and hold on!"
……
further upstream.
Mu Ying and Geng Bingwen led the evaluation team and followed the new army from the Beijing camp across the river.
Mu Ying looked at the pontoon built by the fishing boats and door panels, smiled bitterly and shook her head, "This confrontation drill has been unfair from the beginning."
"On our side, we plundered all the fishing boats. We couldn't use them and hid them all. The artillery in the Army's First Town couldn't cross the river. If the gunpowder got wet..."
Geng Bingwen smiled and said, "The two new armies are doing this secretly, does your Majesty really not know?"
Mu Ying raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Geng Bingwen.
"Your Majesty just wants to see if Army No. [-] Town, as a guest army, can win without taking advantage of the right time, place, and people. He wants to see the quality of Army No. [-] Town approaching actual combat."
Geng Bingwen looked at Mu Ying with determination and smiled.
Is it true?
Mu Ying was slightly stunned.
If this happens, can the First Army Town arrive at Lishui first?
impossible?
Mu Ying shook her head.
He thought it was impossible.
It's too difficult!
After instructing the evaluation team to go back and report the news, Mu Ying and Geng Bingwen followed the new troops from the Beijing camp across the river.
"Marquis Changxing, have you really severed the father-son relationship with Geng Xuan?"
Mu Ying asked abruptly.
Geng Bingwen was slightly silent and said with a wry smile: "Muying, I have pity on the hearts of parents in the world. When your children grow up, you will understand my helplessness."
"However, if father and son meet on the battlefield in the future, I will not show mercy."
Mu Ying silently nodded.
Many people in the prince's family secretly scolded Marquis Changxing for trying to have two boats and betting on the prince and the fourth son.
However, he believed in Geng Bingwen.
If one day there is a conflict between the fourth child and the prince, Geng Bingwen will definitely be loyal to his ministers.
I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen.
That was too cruel to many people in Ming Dynasty.
Brothers, father and son, cried out to kill Zhentian while crying on the battlefield.
No matter who wins or loses, it is destined to be a tragedy.
……
The Prince's Guard and the new army from the Beijing Camp were stationed at Zhou Lang's headquarters. After building the pontoon bridge, the entire army rushed through Lishui.
After half an hour.
Zhu Di led the soldiers of the first town of the army to Lishui.
Along the pontoon bridge built by the two cavalry battalions, we slowly passed through the Lishui River.
Looking down from above.
On the south bank of Lishui, the three armies were in different directions, brightly lit, like a fire dragon, rolling across, racing against time, rushing towards Lishui County.
Another hour passed.
Zhu Yuanzhang led his ministers to the banks of Lishui River.
The ministers cursed in low voices and got out of the carriage.
"The First Army Town is so wicked!"
"What kind of road was built!"
"Co-authored, can only pass through their artillery carriages?"
……
When Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the imperial chariot, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard a small complaint from behind.
Stretched.
The corners of his lips twitched and the smile disappeared.
back pain!
Fourth child and the others are so wicked!
What kind of road was built!
The ditches washed out by rainwater on the landfill road were very tricky and only as wide as the two wheelbases of their artillery vehicles.
It’s been a bumpy ride.
His old bones are almost falling apart!
Zhu Xiongying followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the car and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's smile first, then the expression on his dark face. He held back his laughter and pointed forward, "Grandpa, the pontoon bridge built by the First Army Town."
Zhu Xiongying's voice was not high.
But a lot of people heard it.
With the faint light, he looked in the direction of Zhu Xiongying's finger.
You can vaguely see a floating bridge lying quietly on the river.
"Let's go and have a look." Zhu Yuanzhang greeted and took the lead to walk away.
The accompanying maids and eunuchs rushed forward with lanterns to light the way.
A group of people came to the river.
Curious, they all bent down and took a closer look with the dim light of the lantern.
Zhu Yuanzhang squatted down and observed.
His eyes have become worse and worse in recent years.
However, this cannot be told to anyone.
Zhu Xiongying pointed to the iron parts that fixed the logs and introduced: "This kind of standard iron parts is a method that the cavalry battalion found out during the engineering department training. It makes such a simple wooden board assembled from logs. Two pieces of wood are assembled by the engineering department. A trained cavalry battalion, with the cooperation of four soldiers, can produce a piece in a quarter of an hour..."
Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully and nodded silently.
After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, he stood up and walked straight along the pontoon to the other side.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous! This pontoon is too crude!"
……
All the officials behind him expressed their opinions.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at it, smiled, turned around and invited: "Father, let's try it too. This kind of pontoon bridge can be used for cavalry to rush and to carry artillery carriages. It is very safe."
Zhu Biao smiled and rubbed Zhu Xiongying's little head, then followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the other side of the river.
Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others followed silently.
The opposing officials looked at each other, did not dare to say anything, and quickly followed.
They walked onto the rickety pontoon with trepidation. As they walked, the tension on the faces of the officials gradually disappeared, and many people were out of curiosity.
He even stepped on the bridge with a little force.
A solid feeling comes through the soles of your feet.
Many officials secretly looked at each other in surprise.
After everyone crossed the bridge, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, looked at the simple pontoon bridge across the river, and asked: "How long did it take the two cavalry battalions in the First Army Town to build this simple pontoon bridge?"
The provincial civil servant who was left by Tang He to report the situation hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it will take about an hour."
"An hour?"
"You built such a bridge in one hour?"
"Now that there are three new armies, the First Army Town should be at the forefront, right?"
……
The officials were whispering and discussing.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the officials, pointed to the pontoon bridge, and asked Zhu Biao and the surrounding military commanders: "Is there an army in the imperial army that can build such a pontoon bridge in such a short period of time?"
Zhu Xiongying heard the sound and looked at the silent crowd.
Certainly not.
Even two cavalry battalions with several times the number of Fourth Uncle's could not do it without the training of the engineering department.
The generals of the imperial court felt that the engineering department was just digging soil to build roads and did not bother to do such a thing.
I think that as long as I have hands, I will.
The army was marching and encountered road conditions.
Soldiers can directly repair it themselves.
No special training is necessary.
But they all ignored the cooperation and assistance mechanism and tacit understanding gradually formed during the training of the engineering department.
As well as various tools creatively invented in order to improve efficiency and achieve the goal of rapid military deployment during training to build bridges and pave roads.
Not to mention Zhou Lang and the others, they explored and invented various iron parts to speed up the engineering work.
Even shovels, saws, and axes were all improved during training.
More convenient to carry.
When used in engineering and soldier operations, it is more labor-saving...
Without a lot of training and exploration, it would be impossible to achieve these innovative and innovative results!
"grandfather……"
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others looked at Zhu Xiongying after hearing this.
Zhu Xiongying pointed to the pontoon and said: "The achievements made by Army No. [-] Town, and even the firearms workshop and shipbuilding workshop on Jilong Island, were actually made by soldiers and craftsmen who worked hard and repeatedly, just like the cavalry battalion. The training engineer department, the invention and creation of various iron parts, and even Zhou Lang and his soldiers, during the training, also summarized the softness and hardness of various trees, and even which tree they saw was easier to saw and easier to cut. There are summaries for building a simple pontoon..."
……
Fourth uncle just proposed a general direction.
For example, the engineering department must have a series of skills such as building roads and building pontoons.
As for how to do it, my fourth uncle didn't know and had no specific guidance.
Everything was discovered by the soldiers themselves during training.
He had read a book summarized by Zhou Lang and others.
A thick book.
Very detailed.
Even which kind of grass is stronger for weaving rope is recorded in detail, and various fast and strong weaving methods are even summarized.
Not only think about it yourself.
He also consulted the local people in Fujian and Dongfan.
The book, compiled by the cavalry officers themselves, was written in plain language and was superficial.
Very interesting.
These children all watched with great interest.
Not to mention its high practicality in the military, it also has high practicality among civilians.
His fourth uncle had already given this book to Jiang Jinzhong, who asked him to revise it, publish it, and prepare to distribute it to rural communities in Dongfan and Fujian.
From the military to civilians, those practical skills discovered will spread and benefit people's daily lives.
Fourth uncle can always do this and accomplish everything.
But look at the imperial court.
Point out the direction, but everyone sneers at it!
This is what a long-barreled fire gun looks like.
The same goes for the exploratory training of the Engineering Section.
Could it be that from now on, the court will always be like this, waiting for help?
Wait for Fourth Uncle to figure it out and then ask for it from Fourth Uncle?
With this attitude, when will Ming Dynasty be able to explore and create on its own initiative?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked serious and turned to look at Zhu Biao and the accompanying civil and military officials, "Even heroes understand the truth, you should know better, right?"
"In this confrontation exercise, even if the Army's First Town loses, it will be a glorious defeat. Even if the new imperial army wins, do you still feel like you have won when you look at this pontoon bridge built in an hour?"
"If you lose..."
snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly and stopped talking.
blah blah blah...
The sound of rapid horse hooves came from a distance.
The two riders approached quickly, one behind the other, "Report, the latest news from the Prince Guard!"
"Report, the latest news about the new army in the Beijing camp!"
……
After the two evaluators approached, they got off their horses and trotted to Zhu Yuanzhang. They held the letter and newspaper in their hands and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The ministers watched Zhu Yuanzhang take the letter and stared nervously.
Li Wenzhong asked out of curiosity: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Zhu Yuanzhang casually handed the letter to Li Wenzhong, turned around, and glanced at Zhu Biao, "The latest news, according to the order before and after crossing the river, the Prince's Guard led the first to cross Lishui, followed by the Beijing Camp New Army, and finally the Army's First Town. "
call!
The sound of exhalation sounded instantly.
"The new imperial army has finally surpassed them."
"It doesn't matter if we exceed the past. Who doesn't know that our new army of the imperial court cheated while crossing the river."
"You can't say that. The first town of the Army is a guest army. It's just like the Northern Expedition. We fight on the grassland and the Beiyuan strong walls clear the fields. We prepare in advance and take advantage of the geographical advantage. Isn't it normal?"
"In short, whether it is the prince's guard or the new army from the Beijing camp, as long as they seize Lishui County in advance, the face of the new army of the imperial court can at least be saved."
……
All the officials breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily camped by the Lishui River.
Zhu Fu.
Wu Yunqige took Naren Tuoya, hesitantly, to the outside of Xu Miaoyun's dormitory.
Narentuoya followed Wu Yunqige and came to the door. She was very unfaithful and gently pushed Wu Yunqige. She also whispered encouragement: "Miss, stick out your head and cut your head, shrink your head and cut it. It's your own fault. You have to bear it yourself, I am very loyal to accompany you!"
Wu Yunqi gritted his teeth angrily.
In fact, they had already quietly returned to the house through the back door of the house.
I have been thinking about what to say after meeting Xu Miaoyun.
……
Wu Yunqige took a deep breath.
Knock on the door.
dong dong dong...
Squeak!
The door opened from the inside, and Chunxiao couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw Wu Yunqige and Naren Tuoya standing at the door.
Wu Yunqige forced a smile and asked, "Is it convenient now, Miss Miaoyun?"
"Chunxiao, who is outside?"
There was a questioning sound from inside.
Chunxiao turned around and replied with a smile: "Master's wife, it's Miss Wuyun and Miss Naren."
"Invite them in quickly."
When Wu Yunqige and Naren Tuoya entered, they saw Xu Miaoyun coming out of the dormitory to welcome them.
Wu Yunqige hurriedly said: "The princess just gave birth..."
"It's okay." Xu Miaoyun smiled and stopped Wu Yunqige first.
During the greetings, Wu Yunqige was brought into the bedroom.
Narentuoya and Chunxiao both took the initiative to stay outside the dormitory.
Wu Yunqige curiously came to the crib, bent down, and looked at Jindouzi.
Wink and tease.
Jindouzi kicked up his two short legs, stretched out his little hands, and babbling in baby words with a smile.
puff!
Wu Yunqige was amused.
Xu Miaoyun came over with two cups of tea. She couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Jin Douzi and Wu Yunqige interacting. Then she smiled and said: "This little thing is very troublesome. Even Chunxiao and the others can't let this little thing go." The thing smiled, I didn’t expect that I would be so happy when I saw you for the first time.”
Wu Yunqige glanced at Jindouzi with a smile, turned around, and took the teacup handed by Xu Miaoyun.
The two sat down on the small stool next to the crib.
Wu Yunqige lowered her head and stared at the teacup...
what to do?If you think about it, forget it all!
Wow!
Just when Wu Yunqige was racking her brains to recall the words she had organized before.
Jindouzi cried.
The sudden cry made Wu Yunqige's mind go blank.
Xu Miaoyun hurriedly put down the tea cup and reached out to pick up Jindouzi, "I'll make you laugh..."
Xu Miaoyun said to Wu Yunqige while coaxing Jindouzi, who was not worrying anyone.
Wu Yunqige waved her hands hurriedly, "It doesn't matter..."
Jin Douzi crawled in Xu Miaoyun's arms, her big eyes stained with tears and still watery, looking curiously at Wu Yunqige who waved her hands in panic.
The next second, his little mouth opened and he smiled.
This time, both Xu Miaoyun and Wu Yunqige looked at Jin Douzi blankly.
Xu Miaoyun came back to her senses and looked at Wu Yunqige with a smile, "This little thing is really destined to you. Do you want to hug him?"
"Can it?" Wu Yunqige asked subconsciously.
Xu Miaoyun smiled and handed over the golden beans.
Wu Yunqige stiffened and carefully picked up Jindouzi.
She rode horses and shot eagles on the grassland.
I also played with the little lamb.
It is a baby that has never been held, is only a few days old, and is so fragile that it seems that it can be injured at the slightest touch.
Wu Yunqige looked at the babbling little thing in her arms.
Could not help laughing.
He raised his head and said with a smile: "It seems that this little guy and I are really destined, and I didn't prepare any gifts..."
As he spoke, he freed up a hand, fumbled around his waist, and took out a dagger inlaid with gems, "This is the only thing I brought from the grassland to the Central Plains. Just give it to the little guy."
She had been thinking about what she would say after meeting Xu Miaoyun.
How can she explain clearly that she really has no wrong thoughts about Zhu Ruruo.
Unexpectedly, I prepared a gift for the little guy.
Xu Miaoyun looked at Jin Douzi's hand and seemed to like the dagger very much. She didn't refuse and took it with a smile, "Then I'll accept it for Gao Xu. You and the little guy seem to have a close relationship. Why don't you work for the little guy?" How about mom? When he gets too noisy, I will send him to you and you can help me carry him."
Wu Yunqige is very good.
At least, she felt that it was a good fit for their family.
Worthy of Shiro.
It’s just that Shiro dotes on her too much.
Whenever Wu Yunqige is mentioned, her face becomes stinky.
If Wu Yunqige becomes Gao Xu's godmother, the relationship between the two parties will become closer, right?
Shiro only thinks about her.
Even when giving birth to children, she must be deliberately restrained for the sake of her body.
How could she not think about Shiro.
Don't you think about this home?
……
Goddamn?
The light in Wu Yunqige's eyes flashed away. Inspired by this idea, she thought of a good idea, and then smiled and said: "Godmother doesn't sound good, it makes me look very old. How about I be the little guy's aunt?" "
what!
I'm so smart!
I became Auntie Little Golden Beanzi.
We have a sworn brother-sister relationship with Zhu Ruruo!
In this way, everyone living under one roof will not be so embarrassed.
Moreover, as a sworn brother, Zhu Rurude couldn't do anything to his sworn sister, right?
Zhu Rurude is really brave.
She had to point at Zhu Ruruo's nose and curse her like a beast!
Xu Miaoyun didn't consider this aspect.
Whether she is an aunt or a godmother.
They can bring the relationship closer to each other, and then smiled and said: "Okay."
The two women each had their own little plans, so Wu Yunqige gained an additional layer of identity.
Jindouzi's aunt.
Wu Yunqige was in a good mood, and felt Xu Miaoyun's kindness and kindness. She gradually relaxed and looked at Xu Miaoyun: "Miss Miaoyun, actually I have no idea about Zhu Ru Ruo. I pretended to be pitiful before and deliberately made trouble in front of you and Zhu Ru Ruo. , I want Zhu Rurude to hate me, do you believe it?"
puff!
Xu Miaoyun couldn't help being amused.
"Xin, I've seen it a long time ago." Ren smiled and nodded, looking at Wu Yunqige with a smile.
Wu Yunqige was probably the first to treat Shiro like this.
After Shiro's triumphant return from the grassland.
From the top officials to the common people.
Many young girls secretly fell in love with Shiro.
Wu Yunqige is a special case.
This is also the reason why she likes Wu Yunqige and feels that Wu Yunqige is suitable for their family.
Wu Yunqige will not get close to Shiro because of his power.
If he gets close, he must be in love with Shiro from the bottom of his heart.
As for whether Wu Yunqige will fall in love with Shiro.
In this regard, she is very confident.
……
call!
Wu Yunqige secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled even more happily.
She thought it would be difficult to explain clearly.
Unexpectedly, it was so easy.
Miss Miaoyun, after all, is a smart woman who can manage her life well. It is comfortable to associate with such a smart and beautiful woman!
this night.
Two top beauties chatting happily.
……
at the same time.
Zhu Di led the soldiers and galloped toward Lishui County.
Lishui County.
time is approaching.
The night is deep.
Lishui County Magistrate Lian Zining, along with county officials and government officials, stood at the north gate of Lishui County and waited quietly.
"Sir, the first one to arrive in our Lishui County should be the Prince's Guard. I have already prepared food for the soldiers. You can enjoy it when the Prince's Guard arrives."
After hearing this, everyone looked at the county magistrate, and then looked at Lian Zining.
Lian Zining frowned slightly, "Are you just preparing those led by the Crown Prince's Guard?"
The county magistrate sneered, "There is also the Beijing Camp New Army. As for the First Army Town, we have limited manpower, so we can only let them wait and then prepare..."
snort!
Before the county magistrate finished speaking, Lian Zining snorted and turned around, looking at the magistrate coldly: "Do you think that by doing this, you are trying to please the prince?"
"Zhang Xian Cheng, do you know why Yang Xian Cheng of Jiangning was promoted to the county magistrate, but you are still in the position of county magistrate, and you are wasting your time!"
"Zhang County Cheng, you always like to do things in the wrong direction!"
When setting up a rural village community, as long as he goes to the village to take a look, this guy will follow him everywhere.
However, the purpose of going there is not to carefully observe the customs and customs of each village under the rule of Lishui.
Instead, she followed him every step of the way, trying to please and flatter him.
They, the county magistrates who established rural village communities, and the imperial guards were all keeping a close eye on them.
Report to His Majesty at all times.
Your Majesty is fully aware of everyone's performance.
Fang Xi recommended Jiangning Yangxian Cheng to His Majesty.
His Majesty directly agreed.
It is because His Majesty knows the performance of Yang Xiancheng in the construction process of Jiangning rural village community.
In front of him was Zhang County Cheng.
He thought he couldn't be promoted because he didn't recommend it.
Your Majesty is aware of his performance in the construction of Lishui rural communities.
He recommended it and it works!Now he actually wants to make things difficult for King Yan and please the prince by targeting Army No. [-] Town?
Where to put the prince!
They went to Fujian to observe how King Yan entertained everyone.
The honesty made him ashamed!
Now that King Yan has returned to the court to help the prince in his northern expedition, he is using such despicable means to target others?
Not to mention, the relationship between King Yan and the prince has not broken down yet.
Taisun also studied with King Yan.
Even if it breaks.
He also disdains the use of such despicable means.
Apart from making people sick, does this method have any other practical effects?
blah blah blah...
Just when everyone was being trained by Zi Ning, he suddenly became angry and was silenced, in the distance, deep in the darkness, there were faint sounds of footsteps in groups.
Lian Zining's ears twitched slightly and he glared at the county magistrate fiercely.
Turn around and listen intently.
blah blah blah...
The footsteps became more and more distinct.
"coming!"
"It must be an army!"
"It should be the crown prince Wei Shui, right?"
……
When the long fire dragon came into view from a distance, everyone at the city gate started talking excitedly.
Lian Zining was also very nervous.
He squinted his eyes and tried hard to see which new army it was.
He just hates Zhang Xiancheng's dirty behavior.
heart.
Of course, we also hope that the Crown Prince will lead the team and arrive in Lishui County first.
rumbling...
The sound of horse hooves came in waves.
In the darkness, a troop of cavalry rushed out with torches and approached.
"Not a red coat!"
"The First Army Town!"
……
When everyone saw the military uniforms of the Army's first town cavalry officers led by Zhou Lang, their expressions suddenly changed and they exclaimed.
Lian Zining's eyes widened and he stared in disbelief at the cavalry approaching quickly...
As far as he knew, the two new armies of the imperial court had cheated!
Even if the Army No. [-] town chooses a route with the best road conditions, it will be difficult to cross Lishui without a boat.
Could it be that the artillery was abandoned?
Appeal!
When Zhou Lang reined in his horse, Lian Zining came back to his senses.
Hundreds of cavalry brothers stopped suddenly a hundred steps away.
Zhou Lang turned over and dismounted.
Hey!
Lian Zining sighed in disappointment and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
The two sides had met each other when they were in Fujian.
They are all old acquaintances.
Zhou Lang strode over, clasped his fists and said, "County magistrate Lian, have the other two new armies arrived? If not, our department will take over Lishui County in accordance with the confrontation drill agreement."
Lian Zining smiled and handed over his hand, "Zhou Biaotong, the Prince's Guards and the new Beijing Army have not arrived yet. Tonight, Lishui County will be handed over to the Army's First Town."
Zhou Lang nodded with a smile.
After a few brief greetings, he led the cavalry and rushed into Lishui County.
blah blah blah...
The crisp and rapid sound of horse hooves broke the silence of Lishui County.
within the county.
Small courtyards and huts were lit up with lights.
"The new army for the court's drill has arrived?"
"Father of the child, do you think it is King Yan's first army, or the new army of the imperial court?"
"It should be the new army of the imperial court, right?"
"Dad, my son wants to join the army and join King Yan's new army."
……
Lian Zining had already informed all the people in the city, and the people did not panic when they heard the rapid and crisp sound of horse hooves.
Families crawled into warm quilts, gathering together and talking curiously.
……
blah blah blah...
"After entering the city, you must not disturb the people and quickly take over the county government and city defense."
Behind Lian Zining, everyone in the Lishui County government looked at the battalions with fear and awe. Under the reminder of the generals at all levels headed by the camp management leaders, they passed by holding torches and entered Lishui County.
Lian Zining observed silently.
In the light of the fire, every soldier was obviously very tired, and their footsteps were very heavy.
Some soldiers with poor physical condition could no longer walk.
He was supported by Pao Ze beside him.
He also saw with his own eyes that King Yan's mount, Xiao Hei, was carrying a soldier and followed a battalion passing by.
But in the firelight, the eyes of even the most exhausted soldiers were exceptionally bright. Almost no one looked at them, and everyone was staring at the city gate.
He knew that this was their goal.
But when the goal is achieved, at this time, you should cheer loudly, right?
Just because generals at all levels have an order not to disturb the people.
These exhausted soldiers finally achieved their goals.
They all suppressed their excitement, just smiled silently, looked at each other, and quietly entered the city.
Their faces were covered with dust and their silent laughter was such an impact!
This was completely different from the imperial army he had seen.
Could it be that this is the army that King Yan said he wanted to sweep across the world in the name of ideals?
Lian Zining saw from the corner of his eye that Zhu Di and his party were coming on foot. He came to his senses and hurriedly greeted them, "Lian Zining, magistrate of Lishui County, congratulates King Yan for leading the army's first town to arrive in Lishui first."
Zhu Di looked at Lian Zining and said cheerfully: "I accept your congratulations. I heard that you did a good job in establishing a rural village community in Lishui County. I congratulate you too."
Lian Zining smiled slightly.
He could hear it.
This person truly recognized his administrative achievements in Lishui County from the bottom of his heart.
Can be recognized by the founder of the rural village community.
It's something to be proud of.
"The prince recognizes the administrative achievements of the official, and the official is very happy."
……
The two sides exchanged a few words, and Lian Zining made a gesture of invitation, "Your Majesty, the county government has prepared some food at the top of the city..."
Zhu Di nodded and turned to look at Tang He, "Second uncle, let's go to the top of the city and have something to eat?"
Haha ...
Tang He laughed heartily: "Okay, my second uncle will follow you and become a winner."
As he spoke, he turned around and ordered to the members of the evaluation team: "Immediately rush back and tell the court the news that the Army's first town has won the first stage and won the victory in Lishui."
……
City head.
Soup He was holding a bowl of hot soup and eating a tortilla.
While eating, he praised: "The corn crop discovered in your Tuqiao Village is a good thing. My second uncle has long wanted to visit your Tuqiao Village, but unfortunately, he has never had the chance."
Zhu Di invited with a smile, "Second uncle, the confrontation drill is over. Two of my students are getting married. At that time, second uncle and I will go to Tuqiao Village together."
"That's daring!"
Tang He laughed heartily. After laughing, he looked at the looming fire in the distance, stopped his smile, and asked: "Fourth, I observed that after dark, the soldiers of the Army's First Town did not seem to be affected at all. Are you? How did you do it?"
Imperial army.
Once it gets dark.
Even with torches, marching was difficult.
Without him.
At night, many soldiers were blind.
Doctors call it night blindness.
He estimated that the other two new armies were inferior to the Army's First Town except for their endurance.
I'm afraid night blindness also plays a big factor.
Zhu Di stared at the slow-moving firelight in the distance, "Second uncle, in our army's first town, we eat meat every few days, and fish is available every day. The soldiers don't want to eat it..."
Night blindness, to put it bluntly, means malnutrition.
In the imperial army, pickles are served as staple food every day, so it would be strange if they are not night blind.
Of course, this has been true for soldiers in all dynasties.
The pickles are paired with the staple food, which is good enough to fill you up.
Tang He asked curiously: "How much does this cost? Your army has nearly 3 people, plus [-] people in the navy. If you eat like this, this alone is an astronomical figure, right?"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't cost much. It's mainly due to the efforts of the local village community..."
Jin Zhong wanted the soldiers to eat well.
An agreement was reached with the local villages and villages near Jilong Island.
They provide chickens and piglets for the village.
The common people helped to raise them.
After the three pigs grow up, one of them belongs to them, and the other two can also be sold to them.
Raising chickens is more convenient and saves money.
Every now and then, the navy would drive a warship and go to the sea with a fishing net to catch something.
Then the caught fish, with good meat quality, were sent to the army for consumption.
Some bad ones.
Throw it directly into the fish pond built by diverting seawater into the bay. People in nearby local villages and communes go to the fish pond every day to catch fish, bring them back, chop them up and feed them to chickens.
The cost of raising chickens is very low.
Almost no cost.
"Second Uncle, Fujian is planting acorn trees, chestnut trees, jujube trees, and persimmon trees in the mountains and forests. When these trees enter the fruiting period, the acorns can be used to feed pigs, and the chestnuts and dates can be added to pasta to make various kinds of pasta. Grow mooncakes, pastries, and the like, and dry persimmons and fruits to sell to business travelers on long voyages. They cannot eat fresh vegetables at sea, so these things are very popular..."
……
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Di looked at Tang He with a smile, "Second uncle, as long as our Ming Dynasty continues to develop like this, the future will definitely be an era of prosperous and active people and extremely abundant various goods!"
'How come there is such a monster in Lao Zhu's family! '
Tang He sighed secretly, looked at Zhu Di with a smile, and asked in a low voice: "Fourth, what are you afraid of?"
Zhu Di looked.
Tang He said bluntly: "Second Uncle can sense that you are trying your best to convince me and many people to agree with the new changes in Ming Dynasty. Tell Second Uncle, what are you afraid of? What are you worried about?"
'These old men! '
Zhu Di sighed with emotion.
He has a lot of worries about the future.
Will big brother change?
Will something unexpected happen and all his hard work be in vain?
The collision of old and new contradictions.
……
He just hoped that he could convince more people to support Ming's current changes.
When Zhu Di and Tang He expressed their feelings to each other.
far away.
Two new imperial troops approached Lishui County one behind the other.
Chang Mao looked at the bright lights and shadows on the top of the city, his face extremely embarrassed.
All the soldiers were already tired and hungry. At this moment, looking at the city in the distance, they looked downcast, like deflated rubber balls.
Mu Ying has already joined Lan Yu and Xu Da.
Lan Yu stared at the top of the city and smiled bitterly: "Third brother, you see, the imperial court had the advantage of the right time, place, and people, but it still lost completely!"
He really tried hard.
After running all the way to now, almost [-]% of the soldiers fell behind and stayed behind to slowly gather up and follow.
Even so, he still didn't get past Zhu Laosi's first army town.
……
By the Lishui River.
Zhu Yuanzhang is in the commander's tent.
The ministers looked at Zhu Yuanzhang eagerly.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the letter and newspaper in his hand, raised his head, looked around at everyone, a smile appeared on his lips, "The results are already there!"
Everyone was shocked immediately.
"The first town of the Army is the first to arrive in Lishui County!"
The ministers suddenly raised their heads and were in an uproar.
"how is this possible!"
"The first army town crosses the river last!"
"Yeah, what happened after crossing the river?"
……
Zhu Biao handed over his hand in confusion, "Father, did the letter sent back by my second uncle point out the reason why the Army's first town finally crossed the river and overtook it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao.
Satisfied and nodded.
Biao'er was not affected by the failure and immediately wanted to find out the reason.
not bad.
"Your second uncle reported in the letter that although Laosi's Army No. [-] Town is a new recruit, its tenacity and endurance are very good, and its overall quality is better than that of the imperial army. In addition, Laosi Army No. [-] Town has no night blindness. Later, this advantage made Army No. [-] Town like a fish in water."
……
Inside the tent, there was a moment of oppressive silence.
That night, everyone from Zhu Biao to civil and military officials tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The next day.
The sky is bright.
When Zhu Yuanzhang set off for Lishui County.
Jinling City has just woken up.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops back to Jinling to report the news to the people and rushed into Jinling City.
"Seize Lishui, the first stage of confrontation drill, the army takes the lead in the first victory!"
"The first town in the army, grab Lishui and come out on top!"
……
what? !
When the people heard the news, they were in an uproar.
"The new imperial army actually lost?"
"The first town of King Yan's army is indeed the most powerful soldier in the world!"
"Before dark today, the results of the second phase of the confrontation drill should be out, right?"
……
Xu Miaoyun smiled after hearing the news.
The worry in his eyes flashed away at the same time.
Of course she is happy that Army No. [-] Town has achieved such good results.
But at the same time, I am also worried that the outstanding performance of Army No. [-] Town will become dazzling and make people anxious.
……
The entire Jinling is eagerly looking forward to the second phase of the confrontation drill.
Three poles in the sun.
Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Lishui County.
The vast land outside the city.
Three new armies stood in formation.
Zhu Di was the leader, and the commanders of the three new armies stood beside him.
Listen to the judging panel’s summary of the first stage results.
"On the way to the attack on Lishui, the new army of the Beijing camp suffered 300 injuries and withdrew from the battle order. Two artillery carriages were damaged and withdrawn from the battle order. The horses were lost..."
"The final verdict is that the first stage result of the Beijing Camp New Army is C-Class!"
……
"The East Palace Guards led, 200 people were injured, three artillery carriages were damaged, and the war horses...the final judgment is, C-up!"
……
"In the first town of the Army, eight people were injured. A pontoon bridge was built along the way. The artillery carriage was not damaged... The final comprehensive judgment is that the armor is on!"
When Liu Bowen read out the "top grade" results of the Army's first town.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes all looked at it.
Lu Ben hid in the crowd of officials, staring at Zhu Di with malicious eyes.
Blue jade waste!
Even though they had all the advantages, they lost to the Army’s No. [-] Town!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di with a smile and waved.
After Zhu Di approached.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Are you confident in the upcoming assassination session? If you win, this year, with Fujian's tax revenue, my father will reward you with the first army town!"
Hearing this, the officials' eyes widened instantly.
last year.
Fujian’s fiscal and tax revenue has reached 140 million taels!
I’m afraid there will be more this year!
All rewards were given to Zhu Silang's first army town?
Zhu Biao raised his head in shock, then lowered his head.
Zhu Xi and others looked at Zhu Di with envy and urged.
"Fourth, promise!"
"Fourth brother, what are you afraid of? Promise!"
"Fourth brother, if you lose, you won't lose any money. If you win, the minimum is 140 million taels. I promise!"
……
The ministers looked at the princes who were eager to try and wanted to replace Zhu Di. They wanted to object, but they were afraid of offending Zhu Yuanzhang.
They all looked at Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen pretended not to see it, looking at his nose and his heart.
Your Majesty just took the opportunity to give King Yan some money.
This is a father's love for his son.
It stands to reason that Fujian’s fiscal and tax revenue belongs to the state.
There is no reason for Your Majesty to use it like this.
But this time, he didn't want to take the lead in opposing it.
If it were not for King Yan to go to Fujian to govern these years, Fujian would still be a poor province at the bottom.
In these years, Fujian has paid more taxes than in previous years, more than what your Majesty gave to King Yan.
In the future, Fujian, a province with a large tax revenue, will continue to provide huge tax revenue to the imperial court.
All of this is the result of King Yan.
This prince went overseas to start a business.
It is said that money is very tight.
The imperial court has received so many benefits, so it is only natural to repay others, right?
Besides, it's money well spent.
As long as Daming and King Yan have a good relationship, King Yan will be more grateful to Daming in the future, a hundred years from now.
This is His Majesty’s true intention!
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao out of the corner of his eye, and then at the ministers.
The eldest brother had no objection.
But he didn’t express his support!
Moreover, the old man's generous use of money from the treasury is indeed a bit of a bad rule.
Brother should be concerned about this issue.
Zhu Di then smiled and said, "Father, I don't want money. If I win, I hope my father can agree to one condition."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.
jerk!
Do you know how difficult it is for him to find an honest excuse to give him money?
When the internal funds arrive, I will have some money.
But it’s only 10,000+ taels of silver.
What can I do if I give it to the bastard fourth child? !
"Fourth brother, why are you so confused!" Zhu Ming yelled angrily.
As he spoke, he glanced at the ministers.
Isn’t the fourth child worthy of this money?
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "I hope that my father can capture the prisoners of the Northern Expedition and hand them over to me. Dongfan and Palawan Island under my rule are too short of people..."
There are a large number of Han people on the grasslands.
There are also Mongolians who have been Sinicized for 100 years.
More than 100 million taels of silver are all spent.
If you take it, it will make many people feel unhappy.
Counting 10 people, who have migrated to Dongpan and Palawan one after another, can become chickens that can lay golden eggs.
The corners of Baiguan's lips moved, subconsciously wanting to object.
Of course they understand the value of population to Zhu Silang.
But without giving the population, the emperor would obviously give Fujian's finances and taxes this year to Zhu Silang.
The choice between them is confusing for a while.
snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw everyone's reactions, snorted secretly, and immediately agreed: "Father, I agreed! The imperial court will help you raise the captives until the migration is over!"
He now has the confidence.
Say this to your son!
A small part of Fujian's annual fiscal and tax contribution to purchase cheap corn was enough to feed this group of captives.
What's more, the prisoners can also work for the court during this period.
Zhu Di was overjoyed: "My son, thank you father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, waved his hand, and ordered: "Let the three armies practice shooting. After the shooting, the Army's No. [-] Town will allocate a bid, and the Prince Guards and the Beijing Camp New Army will select two bids to form a coalition to compete with the Army's No. [-] Town. bayonet charge!"
There is no way to engage in direct confrontation drills as there is a volley of guns and guns.
We can only let the soldiers perform.
immediately.
The new troops from the three towns fired volleys at the same time in the open space outside Lishui City.
bang bang bang...
The sound of shooting like fried beans resounded throughout Lishui County.
Shrouded in smoke, accompanied by the roar of artillery.
The people of Lishui who were watching from a distance were stunned.
Is this the Ming Dynasty’s martial ethics?
Tang He, Xu Da, Zhu Xi and others accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang and stood not far away to watch.
Zhu Feng whispered: "Father, the loading speed of No. [-] Town of the Fourth Army is faster!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
Although the two armies were fighting, there was basically only one opportunity for volley shooting.
But this performance reloads and shoots again.
Army No. [-] Town is faster, which undoubtedly shows from the side that Army No. [-] Town is more skilled in the use of firearms.
After the salvo performance.
The real confrontational exercise begins.
The army's first town, Zhang Wu's first association's first bid went into battle.
Prince Wei led the new army in Beijing. Chang Mao led Yibiao and Qu Neng led Yibiao to fight.
Each soldier received a stick.
One end of the stick is wrapped in cotton cloth, and the inside is covered with white mud powder.
As long as it hits the body, it will leave a white mark.
According to the rules of confrontation, anyone who is hit in the chest must automatically exit the confrontation drill.
The first town of the army, one mark, against the new army of the imperial court, two marks!
Lan Yu, Mu Ying and Wang Zuo came to Qu Nengbiao and Chang Maobiao.
Lan Yu warned: "Remember to work together in groups of five. The soldiers must not show individual bravery, but must cooperate well..."
Lan Yu warned repeatedly.
He did not forget.
Palawan Island, the scene of close combat between the first battalion and the Chen family’s new army.
The shock to him from the First Battalion was too strong.
Allocate a small number of troops to seize the hardest bones.
On the battlefield, a group of five other people continued to combine and disperse with each other, killing chickens with a sledgehammer, concentrating superior forces at local points to sweep the Chen family's new army.
It will be easy to chew after it is solved.
The Chen family's new army lost all its advantage in strength.
The first battalion concentrated its absolute superior strength and began to gnaw on the hard bones.
Since returning, he and Mu Ying have been training this tactic.
Confidence, in this regard, does a good job.
Moreover, the Prince's Guards and the new troops in the Beijing Camp were both battle-hardened veterans.
But Zhu Laosi's Army No. [-] Town has obviously not relaxed in the years since the observation group left.
"Don't worry, Commander!"
Chang Mao patted his chest and glanced at the No. [-] Army Town in the distance, "I dare not say anything else. Fighting on the battlefield, the No. [-] Army Town is not qualified! What's more, we are two bids against one bid!"
Qu Neng nodded silently.
Eyes eager to try.
Finally, I can truly compete with the most powerful soldier in the world whom I have admired for a long time.
The only regret is that we can't compete one-on-one. We need to join forces with the Prince Guards and attack the Army's first town with a score of [-] to [-].
He prefers one-on-one.
Even if you lose.
He is all happy!
Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and a group of people stood together with Zhu Di.
Zhu Ming watched Chang Mao patting his chest from a distance, and was a little worried, "Fourth brother, aren't you going to arrange tactics for the brothers in Army No. [-] Town?"
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "In the past few years, they have practiced every day. They know how to fight."
He wants to see it more, he doesn't care.
Can Tan Yuan and the others win this battle?
Zhu Yuanzhang heard the discussion among the brothers, and looked at each other and towards Army No. [-] Town with Ma Xiuying.
Tan Yuan patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and warned: "We don't know how capable Qu Neng is. We should try our best to entangle Qu Neng, concentrate our superior forces, and beat Chang Mao hard. We all know Chang Mao... "
Zhang Wu suddenly laughed.
Just as he thought.
They knew Chang Mao when they were in Liaodong.
This man has some ability, but even greater flaws.
dong dong dong...
While Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and others were discussing specific tactics.
The drum beat suddenly started.
Everyone was shocked immediately.
Ma Xiuying watched Zhang Wu lead his troops out of the Army's First Town. She turned slightly sideways and whispered to Mingxia who was standing next to her with a smile, "Do you have confidence in Zhang Wu?"
In the past, in front of Chongba, the young man stuttered and was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Now, he has become a co-tender under Lao Si.
Mingxia's face turned slightly red, "My dear, my servant doesn't know either. After all, the imperial court has two standards, and we only have one."
As she spoke, Mingxia stared at Zhang Wu nervously...
"Today is a good opportunity to truly observe King Yan's ability to train generals."
Tang He stood in front of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, turned around and whispered, "Zhang Wu used to be a general under your command, right? Now he has started to command two banners. You know Zhang Wu best. Take a good look at Zhang Wu's progress." .”
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng smiled and nodded.
They also really want to see what the old dull and introverted young man has become now.
……
At this moment, many people were talking about similar things to Tang He.
A pair of eyes, staring at the training ground attentively...
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The wind suddenly stopped.
Let me report the word count. It is more than 400 words, which is a shortfall of [-] words.
I should have another two thousand words to finish writing this content completely. It's twelve o'clock and I can't write two thousand words. I will look for opportunities to make up for these two thousand words later.
Finally, shamelessly ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
(End of this chapter)
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, following the two battalions of cavalry commanded by Zhou Lang, rushed across the pontoon bridge and rushed to Lishui County overnight.
The upper reaches of Lishui River.
Lan Yu, the commander of Prince Wei, came to the river bank.
The turbulent river water, illuminated by the torches, rolled forward.
"Third brother, Chang Mao and the others must be nearby and have hid the boat." Lan Yu withdrew her gaze from the river. When she was still some distance away from Lishui, Chang Mao took the initiative and led a group of scouts to take the lead. Villages look for boats.
He guessed it then.
Chang Mao must have cheated.
Collect ships in advance and hide them.
The formulation of the confrontation drill plan involved many people.
Although confidential.
Routes are also determined by drawing lots.
But as for Chang Mao's identity, it's not difficult to find out some details and get some hints in advance.
He suspected that Chang Mao had already collected all the ships along the Lishui River.
Zhu Laosi, don’t even think about getting a boat!
Lishui is not too deep.
The deepest part is only one person deep.
In shallower places, you can directly wade and swim.
But it’s already November.
After wading through the water and swimming to the other side, Army No. [-] Town was all wet, so don’t try to run too fast.
Moreover, once the gunpowder prepared by the imperial court for confrontation drills was soaked in water.
It will also be judged as a loss of combat effectiveness by the judging panel.
And artillery.
By wading and swimming, the artillerymen would not be able to cross the river.
It will also be judged as a loss of combat power.
Helplessness flashed across Xu Da's eyes. Of course he had thought of what Lan Yu had thought of, but there was nothing he could do.
Army No. [-] Town, as a guest army, was unfair from the beginning of the confrontation drill.
Shiro must know it too.
However, as long as the First Army Town tried its best, even if it lost, it would still be an honor.
Thinking of this, Xu Da smiled and said: "Don't think too much, there is no fairness on the battlefield. Compared with the Army's First Town, the two new imperial armies participating in the confrontation drill are fighting locally and naturally have various natural advantages. .
Now it can be regarded as an actual battle. The First Army Town appears as a guest army in Lishui County, which you are defending. On the real battlefield, you will definitely collect and destroy the fishing boats on the Lishui River in advance to prevent the First Army Town from crossing the river easily. Opportunity……"
Lan Yu felt much better after hearing this, but smiled bitterly.
That's right.
Can……
"But if this is the case, and we all lose to the First Army Town, then the real combat effectiveness of these new recruits from the First Army Town will be terrifying! Third Brother!"
This is equivalent to Zhu Laosi leading the Army's First Town into their territory.
Under the conditions of not taking advantage of the right time, place and people.
And gained an advantage!
The first town of the Army cannot be achieved without excellent quality!
Thinking of this, Lan Yu suddenly became energetic.
A strong desire to win flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he especially wanted to see how they tried their best and were in the right place at the right time.
The first town of the Army, does it have excellent qualities?
Overwhelm them!
The smile on Xu Da's lips flashed away.
Lan Yu cleverly captured it, and the sudden look in his eyes flashed away.
Haha ...
Then he laughed heartily and pointed at Xu Da, "Third brother, you are really an old fox! You have encouraged us all the way, but you actually want to see the true quality of your son-in-law's No. [-] army!"
"You even tend to think that we have the right time, place, people, and tried our best, but we are still no match for the Army's No. [-] Town!"
"is not it?"
The smile on Xu Da's face became even stronger.
"Tongzhi, Chang Biaotong is back!"
At this moment, the general beside Lan Yu reminded him.
Xu Da and Lan Yu looked in the direction of the general's finger.
Upstream, more than thirty fishing boats came quickly along the current.
After a while.
Chang Mao landed ashore, and Prince Wei led his soldiers to rush up and began to use fishing boats to build a pontoon bridge on the river.
Chang Mao came to Lan Yu and said with a smile: "Commander, fortunately, I lived up to my command and found 35 fishing boats. I paid to hire them. At the same time, I also spent money to remove some door panels in a nearby village."
Lan Yu looked at Chang Mao and nodded.
If he hadn't completely thought it through before, Chang Mao would report this to him.
He would definitely be unable to bear it and beat Chang Mao to death with a whip.
The 35 fishing boats and door panels were clearly prepared in advance.
Otherwise, how could we find so many fishing boats in such a short period of time.
"Go back to your headquarters and prepare to cross the river."
Chang Mao glanced at Lan Yu suspiciously.
He was prepared to be scolded and questioned by Lan Yu.
'It's strange. Lan Yu didn't guess that I had prepared these boats a long time ago? '
Chang Mao was suspicious and slandered, so he took the order and left in a hurry.
After three sticks of incense.
A pontoon composed of fishing boats and door panels appears on the river.
Lan Yu waved her hand, "Cross the river!"
When the artillery finally crossed the Lishui River, Lan Yu glanced downriver in the direction of the Army's No. [-] Town. Her gaze shifted and fell on Xu Da. She smiled and said, "Third brother, let's go too."
As soon as the voice fell, the horse galloped across the river.
Get off your horse.
Following the soldiers, loudly encouraged: "Quick! Speed up, there are only the last forty miles left, brothers, grit your teeth and hold on!"
……
further upstream.
Mu Ying and Geng Bingwen led the evaluation team and followed the new army from the Beijing camp across the river.
Mu Ying looked at the pontoon built by the fishing boats and door panels, smiled bitterly and shook her head, "This confrontation drill has been unfair from the beginning."
"On our side, we plundered all the fishing boats. We couldn't use them and hid them all. The artillery in the Army's First Town couldn't cross the river. If the gunpowder got wet..."
Geng Bingwen smiled and said, "The two new armies are doing this secretly, does your Majesty really not know?"
Mu Ying raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Geng Bingwen.
"Your Majesty just wants to see if Army No. [-] Town, as a guest army, can win without taking advantage of the right time, place, and people. He wants to see the quality of Army No. [-] Town approaching actual combat."
Geng Bingwen looked at Mu Ying with determination and smiled.
Is it true?
Mu Ying was slightly stunned.
If this happens, can the First Army Town arrive at Lishui first?
impossible?
Mu Ying shook her head.
He thought it was impossible.
It's too difficult!
After instructing the evaluation team to go back and report the news, Mu Ying and Geng Bingwen followed the new troops from the Beijing camp across the river.
"Marquis Changxing, have you really severed the father-son relationship with Geng Xuan?"
Mu Ying asked abruptly.
Geng Bingwen was slightly silent and said with a wry smile: "Muying, I have pity on the hearts of parents in the world. When your children grow up, you will understand my helplessness."
"However, if father and son meet on the battlefield in the future, I will not show mercy."
Mu Ying silently nodded.
Many people in the prince's family secretly scolded Marquis Changxing for trying to have two boats and betting on the prince and the fourth son.
However, he believed in Geng Bingwen.
If one day there is a conflict between the fourth child and the prince, Geng Bingwen will definitely be loyal to his ministers.
I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen.
That was too cruel to many people in Ming Dynasty.
Brothers, father and son, cried out to kill Zhentian while crying on the battlefield.
No matter who wins or loses, it is destined to be a tragedy.
……
The Prince's Guard and the new army from the Beijing Camp were stationed at Zhou Lang's headquarters. After building the pontoon bridge, the entire army rushed through Lishui.
After half an hour.
Zhu Di led the soldiers of the first town of the army to Lishui.
Along the pontoon bridge built by the two cavalry battalions, we slowly passed through the Lishui River.
Looking down from above.
On the south bank of Lishui, the three armies were in different directions, brightly lit, like a fire dragon, rolling across, racing against time, rushing towards Lishui County.
Another hour passed.
Zhu Yuanzhang led his ministers to the banks of Lishui River.
The ministers cursed in low voices and got out of the carriage.
"The First Army Town is so wicked!"
"What kind of road was built!"
"Co-authored, can only pass through their artillery carriages?"
……
When Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the imperial chariot, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard a small complaint from behind.
Stretched.
The corners of his lips twitched and the smile disappeared.
back pain!
Fourth child and the others are so wicked!
What kind of road was built!
The ditches washed out by rainwater on the landfill road were very tricky and only as wide as the two wheelbases of their artillery vehicles.
It’s been a bumpy ride.
His old bones are almost falling apart!
Zhu Xiongying followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the car and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's smile first, then the expression on his dark face. He held back his laughter and pointed forward, "Grandpa, the pontoon bridge built by the First Army Town."
Zhu Xiongying's voice was not high.
But a lot of people heard it.
With the faint light, he looked in the direction of Zhu Xiongying's finger.
You can vaguely see a floating bridge lying quietly on the river.
"Let's go and have a look." Zhu Yuanzhang greeted and took the lead to walk away.
The accompanying maids and eunuchs rushed forward with lanterns to light the way.
A group of people came to the river.
Curious, they all bent down and took a closer look with the dim light of the lantern.
Zhu Yuanzhang squatted down and observed.
His eyes have become worse and worse in recent years.
However, this cannot be told to anyone.
Zhu Xiongying pointed to the iron parts that fixed the logs and introduced: "This kind of standard iron parts is a method that the cavalry battalion found out during the engineering department training. It makes such a simple wooden board assembled from logs. Two pieces of wood are assembled by the engineering department. A trained cavalry battalion, with the cooperation of four soldiers, can produce a piece in a quarter of an hour..."
Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully and nodded silently.
After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, he stood up and walked straight along the pontoon to the other side.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous! This pontoon is too crude!"
……
All the officials behind him expressed their opinions.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at it, smiled, turned around and invited: "Father, let's try it too. This kind of pontoon bridge can be used for cavalry to rush and to carry artillery carriages. It is very safe."
Zhu Biao smiled and rubbed Zhu Xiongying's little head, then followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the other side of the river.
Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others followed silently.
The opposing officials looked at each other, did not dare to say anything, and quickly followed.
They walked onto the rickety pontoon with trepidation. As they walked, the tension on the faces of the officials gradually disappeared, and many people were out of curiosity.
He even stepped on the bridge with a little force.
A solid feeling comes through the soles of your feet.
Many officials secretly looked at each other in surprise.
After everyone crossed the bridge, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, looked at the simple pontoon bridge across the river, and asked: "How long did it take the two cavalry battalions in the First Army Town to build this simple pontoon bridge?"
The provincial civil servant who was left by Tang He to report the situation hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it will take about an hour."
"An hour?"
"You built such a bridge in one hour?"
"Now that there are three new armies, the First Army Town should be at the forefront, right?"
……
The officials were whispering and discussing.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the officials, pointed to the pontoon bridge, and asked Zhu Biao and the surrounding military commanders: "Is there an army in the imperial army that can build such a pontoon bridge in such a short period of time?"
Zhu Xiongying heard the sound and looked at the silent crowd.
Certainly not.
Even two cavalry battalions with several times the number of Fourth Uncle's could not do it without the training of the engineering department.
The generals of the imperial court felt that the engineering department was just digging soil to build roads and did not bother to do such a thing.
I think that as long as I have hands, I will.
The army was marching and encountered road conditions.
Soldiers can directly repair it themselves.
No special training is necessary.
But they all ignored the cooperation and assistance mechanism and tacit understanding gradually formed during the training of the engineering department.
As well as various tools creatively invented in order to improve efficiency and achieve the goal of rapid military deployment during training to build bridges and pave roads.
Not to mention Zhou Lang and the others, they explored and invented various iron parts to speed up the engineering work.
Even shovels, saws, and axes were all improved during training.
More convenient to carry.
When used in engineering and soldier operations, it is more labor-saving...
Without a lot of training and exploration, it would be impossible to achieve these innovative and innovative results!
"grandfather……"
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others looked at Zhu Xiongying after hearing this.
Zhu Xiongying pointed to the pontoon and said: "The achievements made by Army No. [-] Town, and even the firearms workshop and shipbuilding workshop on Jilong Island, were actually made by soldiers and craftsmen who worked hard and repeatedly, just like the cavalry battalion. The training engineer department, the invention and creation of various iron parts, and even Zhou Lang and his soldiers, during the training, also summarized the softness and hardness of various trees, and even which tree they saw was easier to saw and easier to cut. There are summaries for building a simple pontoon..."
……
Fourth uncle just proposed a general direction.
For example, the engineering department must have a series of skills such as building roads and building pontoons.
As for how to do it, my fourth uncle didn't know and had no specific guidance.
Everything was discovered by the soldiers themselves during training.
He had read a book summarized by Zhou Lang and others.
A thick book.
Very detailed.
Even which kind of grass is stronger for weaving rope is recorded in detail, and various fast and strong weaving methods are even summarized.
Not only think about it yourself.
He also consulted the local people in Fujian and Dongfan.
The book, compiled by the cavalry officers themselves, was written in plain language and was superficial.
Very interesting.
These children all watched with great interest.
Not to mention its high practicality in the military, it also has high practicality among civilians.
His fourth uncle had already given this book to Jiang Jinzhong, who asked him to revise it, publish it, and prepare to distribute it to rural communities in Dongfan and Fujian.
From the military to civilians, those practical skills discovered will spread and benefit people's daily lives.
Fourth uncle can always do this and accomplish everything.
But look at the imperial court.
Point out the direction, but everyone sneers at it!
This is what a long-barreled fire gun looks like.
The same goes for the exploratory training of the Engineering Section.
Could it be that from now on, the court will always be like this, waiting for help?
Wait for Fourth Uncle to figure it out and then ask for it from Fourth Uncle?
With this attitude, when will Ming Dynasty be able to explore and create on its own initiative?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked serious and turned to look at Zhu Biao and the accompanying civil and military officials, "Even heroes understand the truth, you should know better, right?"
"In this confrontation exercise, even if the Army's First Town loses, it will be a glorious defeat. Even if the new imperial army wins, do you still feel like you have won when you look at this pontoon bridge built in an hour?"
"If you lose..."
snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly and stopped talking.
blah blah blah...
The sound of rapid horse hooves came from a distance.
The two riders approached quickly, one behind the other, "Report, the latest news from the Prince Guard!"
"Report, the latest news about the new army in the Beijing camp!"
……
After the two evaluators approached, they got off their horses and trotted to Zhu Yuanzhang. They held the letter and newspaper in their hands and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The ministers watched Zhu Yuanzhang take the letter and stared nervously.
Li Wenzhong asked out of curiosity: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Zhu Yuanzhang casually handed the letter to Li Wenzhong, turned around, and glanced at Zhu Biao, "The latest news, according to the order before and after crossing the river, the Prince's Guard led the first to cross Lishui, followed by the Beijing Camp New Army, and finally the Army's First Town. "
call!
The sound of exhalation sounded instantly.
"The new imperial army has finally surpassed them."
"It doesn't matter if we exceed the past. Who doesn't know that our new army of the imperial court cheated while crossing the river."
"You can't say that. The first town of the Army is a guest army. It's just like the Northern Expedition. We fight on the grassland and the Beiyuan strong walls clear the fields. We prepare in advance and take advantage of the geographical advantage. Isn't it normal?"
"In short, whether it is the prince's guard or the new army from the Beijing camp, as long as they seize Lishui County in advance, the face of the new army of the imperial court can at least be saved."
……
All the officials breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily camped by the Lishui River.
Zhu Fu.
Wu Yunqige took Naren Tuoya, hesitantly, to the outside of Xu Miaoyun's dormitory.
Narentuoya followed Wu Yunqige and came to the door. She was very unfaithful and gently pushed Wu Yunqige. She also whispered encouragement: "Miss, stick out your head and cut your head, shrink your head and cut it. It's your own fault. You have to bear it yourself, I am very loyal to accompany you!"
Wu Yunqi gritted his teeth angrily.
In fact, they had already quietly returned to the house through the back door of the house.
I have been thinking about what to say after meeting Xu Miaoyun.
……
Wu Yunqige took a deep breath.
Knock on the door.
dong dong dong...
Squeak!
The door opened from the inside, and Chunxiao couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw Wu Yunqige and Naren Tuoya standing at the door.
Wu Yunqige forced a smile and asked, "Is it convenient now, Miss Miaoyun?"
"Chunxiao, who is outside?"
There was a questioning sound from inside.
Chunxiao turned around and replied with a smile: "Master's wife, it's Miss Wuyun and Miss Naren."
"Invite them in quickly."
When Wu Yunqige and Naren Tuoya entered, they saw Xu Miaoyun coming out of the dormitory to welcome them.
Wu Yunqige hurriedly said: "The princess just gave birth..."
"It's okay." Xu Miaoyun smiled and stopped Wu Yunqige first.
During the greetings, Wu Yunqige was brought into the bedroom.
Narentuoya and Chunxiao both took the initiative to stay outside the dormitory.
Wu Yunqige curiously came to the crib, bent down, and looked at Jindouzi.
Wink and tease.
Jindouzi kicked up his two short legs, stretched out his little hands, and babbling in baby words with a smile.
puff!
Wu Yunqige was amused.
Xu Miaoyun came over with two cups of tea. She couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Jin Douzi and Wu Yunqige interacting. Then she smiled and said: "This little thing is very troublesome. Even Chunxiao and the others can't let this little thing go." The thing smiled, I didn’t expect that I would be so happy when I saw you for the first time.”
Wu Yunqige glanced at Jindouzi with a smile, turned around, and took the teacup handed by Xu Miaoyun.
The two sat down on the small stool next to the crib.
Wu Yunqige lowered her head and stared at the teacup...
what to do?If you think about it, forget it all!
Wow!
Just when Wu Yunqige was racking her brains to recall the words she had organized before.
Jindouzi cried.
The sudden cry made Wu Yunqige's mind go blank.
Xu Miaoyun hurriedly put down the tea cup and reached out to pick up Jindouzi, "I'll make you laugh..."
Xu Miaoyun said to Wu Yunqige while coaxing Jindouzi, who was not worrying anyone.
Wu Yunqige waved her hands hurriedly, "It doesn't matter..."
Jin Douzi crawled in Xu Miaoyun's arms, her big eyes stained with tears and still watery, looking curiously at Wu Yunqige who waved her hands in panic.
The next second, his little mouth opened and he smiled.
This time, both Xu Miaoyun and Wu Yunqige looked at Jin Douzi blankly.
Xu Miaoyun came back to her senses and looked at Wu Yunqige with a smile, "This little thing is really destined to you. Do you want to hug him?"
"Can it?" Wu Yunqige asked subconsciously.
Xu Miaoyun smiled and handed over the golden beans.
Wu Yunqige stiffened and carefully picked up Jindouzi.
She rode horses and shot eagles on the grassland.
I also played with the little lamb.
It is a baby that has never been held, is only a few days old, and is so fragile that it seems that it can be injured at the slightest touch.
Wu Yunqige looked at the babbling little thing in her arms.
Could not help laughing.
He raised his head and said with a smile: "It seems that this little guy and I are really destined, and I didn't prepare any gifts..."
As he spoke, he freed up a hand, fumbled around his waist, and took out a dagger inlaid with gems, "This is the only thing I brought from the grassland to the Central Plains. Just give it to the little guy."
She had been thinking about what she would say after meeting Xu Miaoyun.
How can she explain clearly that she really has no wrong thoughts about Zhu Ruruo.
Unexpectedly, I prepared a gift for the little guy.
Xu Miaoyun looked at Jin Douzi's hand and seemed to like the dagger very much. She didn't refuse and took it with a smile, "Then I'll accept it for Gao Xu. You and the little guy seem to have a close relationship. Why don't you work for the little guy?" How about mom? When he gets too noisy, I will send him to you and you can help me carry him."
Wu Yunqige is very good.
At least, she felt that it was a good fit for their family.
Worthy of Shiro.
It’s just that Shiro dotes on her too much.
Whenever Wu Yunqige is mentioned, her face becomes stinky.
If Wu Yunqige becomes Gao Xu's godmother, the relationship between the two parties will become closer, right?
Shiro only thinks about her.
Even when giving birth to children, she must be deliberately restrained for the sake of her body.
How could she not think about Shiro.
Don't you think about this home?
……
Goddamn?
The light in Wu Yunqige's eyes flashed away. Inspired by this idea, she thought of a good idea, and then smiled and said: "Godmother doesn't sound good, it makes me look very old. How about I be the little guy's aunt?" "
what!
I'm so smart!
I became Auntie Little Golden Beanzi.
We have a sworn brother-sister relationship with Zhu Ruruo!
In this way, everyone living under one roof will not be so embarrassed.
Moreover, as a sworn brother, Zhu Rurude couldn't do anything to his sworn sister, right?
Zhu Rurude is really brave.
She had to point at Zhu Ruruo's nose and curse her like a beast!
Xu Miaoyun didn't consider this aspect.
Whether she is an aunt or a godmother.
They can bring the relationship closer to each other, and then smiled and said: "Okay."
The two women each had their own little plans, so Wu Yunqige gained an additional layer of identity.
Jindouzi's aunt.
Wu Yunqige was in a good mood, and felt Xu Miaoyun's kindness and kindness. She gradually relaxed and looked at Xu Miaoyun: "Miss Miaoyun, actually I have no idea about Zhu Ru Ruo. I pretended to be pitiful before and deliberately made trouble in front of you and Zhu Ru Ruo. , I want Zhu Rurude to hate me, do you believe it?"
puff!
Xu Miaoyun couldn't help being amused.
"Xin, I've seen it a long time ago." Ren smiled and nodded, looking at Wu Yunqige with a smile.
Wu Yunqige was probably the first to treat Shiro like this.
After Shiro's triumphant return from the grassland.
From the top officials to the common people.
Many young girls secretly fell in love with Shiro.
Wu Yunqige is a special case.
This is also the reason why she likes Wu Yunqige and feels that Wu Yunqige is suitable for their family.
Wu Yunqige will not get close to Shiro because of his power.
If he gets close, he must be in love with Shiro from the bottom of his heart.
As for whether Wu Yunqige will fall in love with Shiro.
In this regard, she is very confident.
……
call!
Wu Yunqige secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled even more happily.
She thought it would be difficult to explain clearly.
Unexpectedly, it was so easy.
Miss Miaoyun, after all, is a smart woman who can manage her life well. It is comfortable to associate with such a smart and beautiful woman!
this night.
Two top beauties chatting happily.
……
at the same time.
Zhu Di led the soldiers and galloped toward Lishui County.
Lishui County.
time is approaching.
The night is deep.
Lishui County Magistrate Lian Zining, along with county officials and government officials, stood at the north gate of Lishui County and waited quietly.
"Sir, the first one to arrive in our Lishui County should be the Prince's Guard. I have already prepared food for the soldiers. You can enjoy it when the Prince's Guard arrives."
After hearing this, everyone looked at the county magistrate, and then looked at Lian Zining.
Lian Zining frowned slightly, "Are you just preparing those led by the Crown Prince's Guard?"
The county magistrate sneered, "There is also the Beijing Camp New Army. As for the First Army Town, we have limited manpower, so we can only let them wait and then prepare..."
snort!
Before the county magistrate finished speaking, Lian Zining snorted and turned around, looking at the magistrate coldly: "Do you think that by doing this, you are trying to please the prince?"
"Zhang Xian Cheng, do you know why Yang Xian Cheng of Jiangning was promoted to the county magistrate, but you are still in the position of county magistrate, and you are wasting your time!"
"Zhang County Cheng, you always like to do things in the wrong direction!"
When setting up a rural village community, as long as he goes to the village to take a look, this guy will follow him everywhere.
However, the purpose of going there is not to carefully observe the customs and customs of each village under the rule of Lishui.
Instead, she followed him every step of the way, trying to please and flatter him.
They, the county magistrates who established rural village communities, and the imperial guards were all keeping a close eye on them.
Report to His Majesty at all times.
Your Majesty is fully aware of everyone's performance.
Fang Xi recommended Jiangning Yangxian Cheng to His Majesty.
His Majesty directly agreed.
It is because His Majesty knows the performance of Yang Xiancheng in the construction process of Jiangning rural village community.
In front of him was Zhang County Cheng.
He thought he couldn't be promoted because he didn't recommend it.
Your Majesty is aware of his performance in the construction of Lishui rural communities.
He recommended it and it works!Now he actually wants to make things difficult for King Yan and please the prince by targeting Army No. [-] Town?
Where to put the prince!
They went to Fujian to observe how King Yan entertained everyone.
The honesty made him ashamed!
Now that King Yan has returned to the court to help the prince in his northern expedition, he is using such despicable means to target others?
Not to mention, the relationship between King Yan and the prince has not broken down yet.
Taisun also studied with King Yan.
Even if it breaks.
He also disdains the use of such despicable means.
Apart from making people sick, does this method have any other practical effects?
blah blah blah...
Just when everyone was being trained by Zi Ning, he suddenly became angry and was silenced, in the distance, deep in the darkness, there were faint sounds of footsteps in groups.
Lian Zining's ears twitched slightly and he glared at the county magistrate fiercely.
Turn around and listen intently.
blah blah blah...
The footsteps became more and more distinct.
"coming!"
"It must be an army!"
"It should be the crown prince Wei Shui, right?"
……
When the long fire dragon came into view from a distance, everyone at the city gate started talking excitedly.
Lian Zining was also very nervous.
He squinted his eyes and tried hard to see which new army it was.
He just hates Zhang Xiancheng's dirty behavior.
heart.
Of course, we also hope that the Crown Prince will lead the team and arrive in Lishui County first.
rumbling...
The sound of horse hooves came in waves.
In the darkness, a troop of cavalry rushed out with torches and approached.
"Not a red coat!"
"The First Army Town!"
……
When everyone saw the military uniforms of the Army's first town cavalry officers led by Zhou Lang, their expressions suddenly changed and they exclaimed.
Lian Zining's eyes widened and he stared in disbelief at the cavalry approaching quickly...
As far as he knew, the two new armies of the imperial court had cheated!
Even if the Army No. [-] town chooses a route with the best road conditions, it will be difficult to cross Lishui without a boat.
Could it be that the artillery was abandoned?
Appeal!
When Zhou Lang reined in his horse, Lian Zining came back to his senses.
Hundreds of cavalry brothers stopped suddenly a hundred steps away.
Zhou Lang turned over and dismounted.
Hey!
Lian Zining sighed in disappointment and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
The two sides had met each other when they were in Fujian.
They are all old acquaintances.
Zhou Lang strode over, clasped his fists and said, "County magistrate Lian, have the other two new armies arrived? If not, our department will take over Lishui County in accordance with the confrontation drill agreement."
Lian Zining smiled and handed over his hand, "Zhou Biaotong, the Prince's Guards and the new Beijing Army have not arrived yet. Tonight, Lishui County will be handed over to the Army's First Town."
Zhou Lang nodded with a smile.
After a few brief greetings, he led the cavalry and rushed into Lishui County.
blah blah blah...
The crisp and rapid sound of horse hooves broke the silence of Lishui County.
within the county.
Small courtyards and huts were lit up with lights.
"The new army for the court's drill has arrived?"
"Father of the child, do you think it is King Yan's first army, or the new army of the imperial court?"
"It should be the new army of the imperial court, right?"
"Dad, my son wants to join the army and join King Yan's new army."
……
Lian Zining had already informed all the people in the city, and the people did not panic when they heard the rapid and crisp sound of horse hooves.
Families crawled into warm quilts, gathering together and talking curiously.
……
blah blah blah...
"After entering the city, you must not disturb the people and quickly take over the county government and city defense."
Behind Lian Zining, everyone in the Lishui County government looked at the battalions with fear and awe. Under the reminder of the generals at all levels headed by the camp management leaders, they passed by holding torches and entered Lishui County.
Lian Zining observed silently.
In the light of the fire, every soldier was obviously very tired, and their footsteps were very heavy.
Some soldiers with poor physical condition could no longer walk.
He was supported by Pao Ze beside him.
He also saw with his own eyes that King Yan's mount, Xiao Hei, was carrying a soldier and followed a battalion passing by.
But in the firelight, the eyes of even the most exhausted soldiers were exceptionally bright. Almost no one looked at them, and everyone was staring at the city gate.
He knew that this was their goal.
But when the goal is achieved, at this time, you should cheer loudly, right?
Just because generals at all levels have an order not to disturb the people.
These exhausted soldiers finally achieved their goals.
They all suppressed their excitement, just smiled silently, looked at each other, and quietly entered the city.
Their faces were covered with dust and their silent laughter was such an impact!
This was completely different from the imperial army he had seen.
Could it be that this is the army that King Yan said he wanted to sweep across the world in the name of ideals?
Lian Zining saw from the corner of his eye that Zhu Di and his party were coming on foot. He came to his senses and hurriedly greeted them, "Lian Zining, magistrate of Lishui County, congratulates King Yan for leading the army's first town to arrive in Lishui first."
Zhu Di looked at Lian Zining and said cheerfully: "I accept your congratulations. I heard that you did a good job in establishing a rural village community in Lishui County. I congratulate you too."
Lian Zining smiled slightly.
He could hear it.
This person truly recognized his administrative achievements in Lishui County from the bottom of his heart.
Can be recognized by the founder of the rural village community.
It's something to be proud of.
"The prince recognizes the administrative achievements of the official, and the official is very happy."
……
The two sides exchanged a few words, and Lian Zining made a gesture of invitation, "Your Majesty, the county government has prepared some food at the top of the city..."
Zhu Di nodded and turned to look at Tang He, "Second uncle, let's go to the top of the city and have something to eat?"
Haha ...
Tang He laughed heartily: "Okay, my second uncle will follow you and become a winner."
As he spoke, he turned around and ordered to the members of the evaluation team: "Immediately rush back and tell the court the news that the Army's first town has won the first stage and won the victory in Lishui."
……
City head.
Soup He was holding a bowl of hot soup and eating a tortilla.
While eating, he praised: "The corn crop discovered in your Tuqiao Village is a good thing. My second uncle has long wanted to visit your Tuqiao Village, but unfortunately, he has never had the chance."
Zhu Di invited with a smile, "Second uncle, the confrontation drill is over. Two of my students are getting married. At that time, second uncle and I will go to Tuqiao Village together."
"That's daring!"
Tang He laughed heartily. After laughing, he looked at the looming fire in the distance, stopped his smile, and asked: "Fourth, I observed that after dark, the soldiers of the Army's First Town did not seem to be affected at all. Are you? How did you do it?"
Imperial army.
Once it gets dark.
Even with torches, marching was difficult.
Without him.
At night, many soldiers were blind.
Doctors call it night blindness.
He estimated that the other two new armies were inferior to the Army's First Town except for their endurance.
I'm afraid night blindness also plays a big factor.
Zhu Di stared at the slow-moving firelight in the distance, "Second uncle, in our army's first town, we eat meat every few days, and fish is available every day. The soldiers don't want to eat it..."
Night blindness, to put it bluntly, means malnutrition.
In the imperial army, pickles are served as staple food every day, so it would be strange if they are not night blind.
Of course, this has been true for soldiers in all dynasties.
The pickles are paired with the staple food, which is good enough to fill you up.
Tang He asked curiously: "How much does this cost? Your army has nearly 3 people, plus [-] people in the navy. If you eat like this, this alone is an astronomical figure, right?"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't cost much. It's mainly due to the efforts of the local village community..."
Jin Zhong wanted the soldiers to eat well.
An agreement was reached with the local villages and villages near Jilong Island.
They provide chickens and piglets for the village.
The common people helped to raise them.
After the three pigs grow up, one of them belongs to them, and the other two can also be sold to them.
Raising chickens is more convenient and saves money.
Every now and then, the navy would drive a warship and go to the sea with a fishing net to catch something.
Then the caught fish, with good meat quality, were sent to the army for consumption.
Some bad ones.
Throw it directly into the fish pond built by diverting seawater into the bay. People in nearby local villages and communes go to the fish pond every day to catch fish, bring them back, chop them up and feed them to chickens.
The cost of raising chickens is very low.
Almost no cost.
"Second Uncle, Fujian is planting acorn trees, chestnut trees, jujube trees, and persimmon trees in the mountains and forests. When these trees enter the fruiting period, the acorns can be used to feed pigs, and the chestnuts and dates can be added to pasta to make various kinds of pasta. Grow mooncakes, pastries, and the like, and dry persimmons and fruits to sell to business travelers on long voyages. They cannot eat fresh vegetables at sea, so these things are very popular..."
……
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Di looked at Tang He with a smile, "Second uncle, as long as our Ming Dynasty continues to develop like this, the future will definitely be an era of prosperous and active people and extremely abundant various goods!"
'How come there is such a monster in Lao Zhu's family! '
Tang He sighed secretly, looked at Zhu Di with a smile, and asked in a low voice: "Fourth, what are you afraid of?"
Zhu Di looked.
Tang He said bluntly: "Second Uncle can sense that you are trying your best to convince me and many people to agree with the new changes in Ming Dynasty. Tell Second Uncle, what are you afraid of? What are you worried about?"
'These old men! '
Zhu Di sighed with emotion.
He has a lot of worries about the future.
Will big brother change?
Will something unexpected happen and all his hard work be in vain?
The collision of old and new contradictions.
……
He just hoped that he could convince more people to support Ming's current changes.
When Zhu Di and Tang He expressed their feelings to each other.
far away.
Two new imperial troops approached Lishui County one behind the other.
Chang Mao looked at the bright lights and shadows on the top of the city, his face extremely embarrassed.
All the soldiers were already tired and hungry. At this moment, looking at the city in the distance, they looked downcast, like deflated rubber balls.
Mu Ying has already joined Lan Yu and Xu Da.
Lan Yu stared at the top of the city and smiled bitterly: "Third brother, you see, the imperial court had the advantage of the right time, place, and people, but it still lost completely!"
He really tried hard.
After running all the way to now, almost [-]% of the soldiers fell behind and stayed behind to slowly gather up and follow.
Even so, he still didn't get past Zhu Laosi's first army town.
……
By the Lishui River.
Zhu Yuanzhang is in the commander's tent.
The ministers looked at Zhu Yuanzhang eagerly.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the letter and newspaper in his hand, raised his head, looked around at everyone, a smile appeared on his lips, "The results are already there!"
Everyone was shocked immediately.
"The first town of the Army is the first to arrive in Lishui County!"
The ministers suddenly raised their heads and were in an uproar.
"how is this possible!"
"The first army town crosses the river last!"
"Yeah, what happened after crossing the river?"
……
Zhu Biao handed over his hand in confusion, "Father, did the letter sent back by my second uncle point out the reason why the Army's first town finally crossed the river and overtook it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao.
Satisfied and nodded.
Biao'er was not affected by the failure and immediately wanted to find out the reason.
not bad.
"Your second uncle reported in the letter that although Laosi's Army No. [-] Town is a new recruit, its tenacity and endurance are very good, and its overall quality is better than that of the imperial army. In addition, Laosi Army No. [-] Town has no night blindness. Later, this advantage made Army No. [-] Town like a fish in water."
……
Inside the tent, there was a moment of oppressive silence.
That night, everyone from Zhu Biao to civil and military officials tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The next day.
The sky is bright.
When Zhu Yuanzhang set off for Lishui County.
Jinling City has just woken up.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops back to Jinling to report the news to the people and rushed into Jinling City.
"Seize Lishui, the first stage of confrontation drill, the army takes the lead in the first victory!"
"The first town in the army, grab Lishui and come out on top!"
……
what? !
When the people heard the news, they were in an uproar.
"The new imperial army actually lost?"
"The first town of King Yan's army is indeed the most powerful soldier in the world!"
"Before dark today, the results of the second phase of the confrontation drill should be out, right?"
……
Xu Miaoyun smiled after hearing the news.
The worry in his eyes flashed away at the same time.
Of course she is happy that Army No. [-] Town has achieved such good results.
But at the same time, I am also worried that the outstanding performance of Army No. [-] Town will become dazzling and make people anxious.
……
The entire Jinling is eagerly looking forward to the second phase of the confrontation drill.
Three poles in the sun.
Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Lishui County.
The vast land outside the city.
Three new armies stood in formation.
Zhu Di was the leader, and the commanders of the three new armies stood beside him.
Listen to the judging panel’s summary of the first stage results.
"On the way to the attack on Lishui, the new army of the Beijing camp suffered 300 injuries and withdrew from the battle order. Two artillery carriages were damaged and withdrawn from the battle order. The horses were lost..."
"The final verdict is that the first stage result of the Beijing Camp New Army is C-Class!"
……
"The East Palace Guards led, 200 people were injured, three artillery carriages were damaged, and the war horses...the final judgment is, C-up!"
……
"In the first town of the Army, eight people were injured. A pontoon bridge was built along the way. The artillery carriage was not damaged... The final comprehensive judgment is that the armor is on!"
When Liu Bowen read out the "top grade" results of the Army's first town.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes all looked at it.
Lu Ben hid in the crowd of officials, staring at Zhu Di with malicious eyes.
Blue jade waste!
Even though they had all the advantages, they lost to the Army’s No. [-] Town!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di with a smile and waved.
After Zhu Di approached.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Are you confident in the upcoming assassination session? If you win, this year, with Fujian's tax revenue, my father will reward you with the first army town!"
Hearing this, the officials' eyes widened instantly.
last year.
Fujian’s fiscal and tax revenue has reached 140 million taels!
I’m afraid there will be more this year!
All rewards were given to Zhu Silang's first army town?
Zhu Biao raised his head in shock, then lowered his head.
Zhu Xi and others looked at Zhu Di with envy and urged.
"Fourth, promise!"
"Fourth brother, what are you afraid of? Promise!"
"Fourth brother, if you lose, you won't lose any money. If you win, the minimum is 140 million taels. I promise!"
……
The ministers looked at the princes who were eager to try and wanted to replace Zhu Di. They wanted to object, but they were afraid of offending Zhu Yuanzhang.
They all looked at Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen pretended not to see it, looking at his nose and his heart.
Your Majesty just took the opportunity to give King Yan some money.
This is a father's love for his son.
It stands to reason that Fujian’s fiscal and tax revenue belongs to the state.
There is no reason for Your Majesty to use it like this.
But this time, he didn't want to take the lead in opposing it.
If it were not for King Yan to go to Fujian to govern these years, Fujian would still be a poor province at the bottom.
In these years, Fujian has paid more taxes than in previous years, more than what your Majesty gave to King Yan.
In the future, Fujian, a province with a large tax revenue, will continue to provide huge tax revenue to the imperial court.
All of this is the result of King Yan.
This prince went overseas to start a business.
It is said that money is very tight.
The imperial court has received so many benefits, so it is only natural to repay others, right?
Besides, it's money well spent.
As long as Daming and King Yan have a good relationship, King Yan will be more grateful to Daming in the future, a hundred years from now.
This is His Majesty’s true intention!
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao out of the corner of his eye, and then at the ministers.
The eldest brother had no objection.
But he didn’t express his support!
Moreover, the old man's generous use of money from the treasury is indeed a bit of a bad rule.
Brother should be concerned about this issue.
Zhu Di then smiled and said, "Father, I don't want money. If I win, I hope my father can agree to one condition."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.
jerk!
Do you know how difficult it is for him to find an honest excuse to give him money?
When the internal funds arrive, I will have some money.
But it’s only 10,000+ taels of silver.
What can I do if I give it to the bastard fourth child? !
"Fourth brother, why are you so confused!" Zhu Ming yelled angrily.
As he spoke, he glanced at the ministers.
Isn’t the fourth child worthy of this money?
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "I hope that my father can capture the prisoners of the Northern Expedition and hand them over to me. Dongfan and Palawan Island under my rule are too short of people..."
There are a large number of Han people on the grasslands.
There are also Mongolians who have been Sinicized for 100 years.
More than 100 million taels of silver are all spent.
If you take it, it will make many people feel unhappy.
Counting 10 people, who have migrated to Dongpan and Palawan one after another, can become chickens that can lay golden eggs.
The corners of Baiguan's lips moved, subconsciously wanting to object.
Of course they understand the value of population to Zhu Silang.
But without giving the population, the emperor would obviously give Fujian's finances and taxes this year to Zhu Silang.
The choice between them is confusing for a while.
snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw everyone's reactions, snorted secretly, and immediately agreed: "Father, I agreed! The imperial court will help you raise the captives until the migration is over!"
He now has the confidence.
Say this to your son!
A small part of Fujian's annual fiscal and tax contribution to purchase cheap corn was enough to feed this group of captives.
What's more, the prisoners can also work for the court during this period.
Zhu Di was overjoyed: "My son, thank you father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, waved his hand, and ordered: "Let the three armies practice shooting. After the shooting, the Army's No. [-] Town will allocate a bid, and the Prince Guards and the Beijing Camp New Army will select two bids to form a coalition to compete with the Army's No. [-] Town. bayonet charge!"
There is no way to engage in direct confrontation drills as there is a volley of guns and guns.
We can only let the soldiers perform.
immediately.
The new troops from the three towns fired volleys at the same time in the open space outside Lishui City.
bang bang bang...
The sound of shooting like fried beans resounded throughout Lishui County.
Shrouded in smoke, accompanied by the roar of artillery.
The people of Lishui who were watching from a distance were stunned.
Is this the Ming Dynasty’s martial ethics?
Tang He, Xu Da, Zhu Xi and others accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang and stood not far away to watch.
Zhu Feng whispered: "Father, the loading speed of No. [-] Town of the Fourth Army is faster!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
Although the two armies were fighting, there was basically only one opportunity for volley shooting.
But this performance reloads and shoots again.
Army No. [-] Town is faster, which undoubtedly shows from the side that Army No. [-] Town is more skilled in the use of firearms.
After the salvo performance.
The real confrontational exercise begins.
The army's first town, Zhang Wu's first association's first bid went into battle.
Prince Wei led the new army in Beijing. Chang Mao led Yibiao and Qu Neng led Yibiao to fight.
Each soldier received a stick.
One end of the stick is wrapped in cotton cloth, and the inside is covered with white mud powder.
As long as it hits the body, it will leave a white mark.
According to the rules of confrontation, anyone who is hit in the chest must automatically exit the confrontation drill.
The first town of the army, one mark, against the new army of the imperial court, two marks!
Lan Yu, Mu Ying and Wang Zuo came to Qu Nengbiao and Chang Maobiao.
Lan Yu warned: "Remember to work together in groups of five. The soldiers must not show individual bravery, but must cooperate well..."
Lan Yu warned repeatedly.
He did not forget.
Palawan Island, the scene of close combat between the first battalion and the Chen family’s new army.
The shock to him from the First Battalion was too strong.
Allocate a small number of troops to seize the hardest bones.
On the battlefield, a group of five other people continued to combine and disperse with each other, killing chickens with a sledgehammer, concentrating superior forces at local points to sweep the Chen family's new army.
It will be easy to chew after it is solved.
The Chen family's new army lost all its advantage in strength.
The first battalion concentrated its absolute superior strength and began to gnaw on the hard bones.
Since returning, he and Mu Ying have been training this tactic.
Confidence, in this regard, does a good job.
Moreover, the Prince's Guards and the new troops in the Beijing Camp were both battle-hardened veterans.
But Zhu Laosi's Army No. [-] Town has obviously not relaxed in the years since the observation group left.
"Don't worry, Commander!"
Chang Mao patted his chest and glanced at the No. [-] Army Town in the distance, "I dare not say anything else. Fighting on the battlefield, the No. [-] Army Town is not qualified! What's more, we are two bids against one bid!"
Qu Neng nodded silently.
Eyes eager to try.
Finally, I can truly compete with the most powerful soldier in the world whom I have admired for a long time.
The only regret is that we can't compete one-on-one. We need to join forces with the Prince Guards and attack the Army's first town with a score of [-] to [-].
He prefers one-on-one.
Even if you lose.
He is all happy!
Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and a group of people stood together with Zhu Di.
Zhu Ming watched Chang Mao patting his chest from a distance, and was a little worried, "Fourth brother, aren't you going to arrange tactics for the brothers in Army No. [-] Town?"
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "In the past few years, they have practiced every day. They know how to fight."
He wants to see it more, he doesn't care.
Can Tan Yuan and the others win this battle?
Zhu Yuanzhang heard the discussion among the brothers, and looked at each other and towards Army No. [-] Town with Ma Xiuying.
Tan Yuan patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and warned: "We don't know how capable Qu Neng is. We should try our best to entangle Qu Neng, concentrate our superior forces, and beat Chang Mao hard. We all know Chang Mao... "
Zhang Wu suddenly laughed.
Just as he thought.
They knew Chang Mao when they were in Liaodong.
This man has some ability, but even greater flaws.
dong dong dong...
While Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and others were discussing specific tactics.
The drum beat suddenly started.
Everyone was shocked immediately.
Ma Xiuying watched Zhang Wu lead his troops out of the Army's First Town. She turned slightly sideways and whispered to Mingxia who was standing next to her with a smile, "Do you have confidence in Zhang Wu?"
In the past, in front of Chongba, the young man stuttered and was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Now, he has become a co-tender under Lao Si.
Mingxia's face turned slightly red, "My dear, my servant doesn't know either. After all, the imperial court has two standards, and we only have one."
As she spoke, Mingxia stared at Zhang Wu nervously...
"Today is a good opportunity to truly observe King Yan's ability to train generals."
Tang He stood in front of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, turned around and whispered, "Zhang Wu used to be a general under your command, right? Now he has started to command two banners. You know Zhang Wu best. Take a good look at Zhang Wu's progress." .”
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng smiled and nodded.
They also really want to see what the old dull and introverted young man has become now.
……
At this moment, many people were talking about similar things to Tang He.
A pair of eyes, staring at the training ground attentively...
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The wind suddenly stopped.
Let me report the word count. It is more than 400 words, which is a shortfall of [-] words.
I should have another two thousand words to finish writing this content completely. It's twelve o'clock and I can't write two thousand words. I will look for opportunities to make up for these two thousand words later.
Finally, shamelessly ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
