Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 49 Borrowing Duoyan’s Three Guards

This man is handsome and handsome. He looks very young, but he is very elegant. He does not look like a man in the military, but more like a kid from a rich family.

It was none other than Bai Chu.

When he heard that Zhu Di was going to conquer Mobei, Bai Chu found him immediately, hoping that he could serve as his military advisor.

At that time, Zhu Di was having a meeting in the camp. Before he could answer, Bai Chu was ridiculed by Zhu Neng.

It is ridiculous to say that he is a playboy who at best deceives little girls and now he has gone to be a soldier.

Bai Chu immediately issued a challenge. There is no doubt that Zhu Di's second-in-command was beaten to a pulp by Bai Chu. From then on, he never dared to speak rudely to Bai Chu again.

As soon as this news came out, no one in the entire army dared to underestimate Bai Chu. You know, Zhu Neng was a famous genius. Even Zhu Di was taught a lesson by him, which shows how powerful he is. of terror.

Starting from March 3, the army left Peiping, passed through the Great Wall, passed through Xifengkou, meandered along the northeast, and arrived in Daning on March 15.

Daning has been a strategic location since ancient times. It has a radius of thousands of miles, many mountains and rivers, and the terrain is dangerous enough to protect itself.

The Art of War says: Daning Town is bounded by Jianyi, Kaiping is in the north, and Liaohai is in the south, which is a vassal vassal.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang valued this place very much and gave it to his seventeen sons, namely King Ning.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Daning was the front line to resist the attack of the northern grassland people.

Zhu Di came to Daning with his army, and King Ning naturally welcomed him warmly and welcomed him in.

King Ning and King Yan have always been on good terms. King Ning needs the support of King Yan, and Zhu Di needs King Ning to support him from the front.

The two of them were like allies, inextricably linked.

It was not until Zhu Di launched a war that the war ended.

"Haha, fourth brother, I've finally waited for you."

A clear voice came from the front. The speaker was a man about twenty years old, handsome and majestic.

"Haha, Lao Qi, you miss me so much."

Zhu Di also laughed. Standing opposite him was Zhu Di's seventeenth younger brother, Zhu Quan.

The two chatted happily. Zhu Di introduced his generals to Zhu Quan. The people around Zhu Quan all dressed up as foreigners.

Zhu Di briefly introduced himself and asked everyone to station here. The army was not allowed to enter the city, nor was it allowed to harass civilians, which would violate military law.

"Fourteenth brother, the Tatars went south, did you suffer any harm?"

Under the leadership of Zhu Quan, Zhu Di came to the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters.

Zhu Quan immediately grimaced and wailed:

"You don't understand this, Fourth Brother."

"These Tatars are really crazy and rob everything they see. They are so poor."

“Some people left in such a hurry that they even forgot to bring pots and pans with them.”

"But when the Tartars left, everything disappeared and nothing remained."

"There are quite a few people in the city who have been captured by the Tatars. Fourth brother, you must avenge me."

Zhu Quan looked like he had been wronged, but Bai Chu still saw the joy in Zhu Quan's eyes. It was obvious that Prince Ning was lying.

It's no wonder that as the head of the feudal town, King Ning has countless elite men under his command.

In terms of military strength, King Ning was the strongest, with 80,000 troops and 5,000 chariots under his command.

The remaining vassal kings only had 5,000 soldiers and horses at most, while King Ning had a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses. Moreover, these 80,000 soldiers and horses also included the three most elite armies of the Ming Dynasty.

The Duoyan Sanwei were originally vassals of the Mongols, equivalent to the mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Ming Dynasty's national power was strong, and the three armies were forced to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. They usually grazed north of the Great Wall, which was a line of defense for the Ming Dynasty.

The Mongols are brave and good at fighting, and with the support of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the Duoyan Army is the strongest weapon of the Ming Dynasty.

Prince Ning is so powerful that unless Lu Kebo has a problem with his brain, it would be impossible for him to be his enemy.

Lu Kebo led more than 100,000 people, which seemed to be a huge force, but in fact it was just an illusion, and the purpose was to rob.

Lu Kebo did not dare to fight head-on with Prince Ning. In that case, his losses would be too great.

There is a reason why Prince Ning pretends to be so miserable. He knows the temperament of his fourth brother very well. This time, he will never return empty-handed.

Before Prince Ning finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Di.

"Okay, Old Seventeen, fourth brother still knows very well what kind of person you are."

"Nalu Kebo, I don't want to live anymore, so I will come to trouble you.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of Fourth Brother. I'm here to see your Duoyan Sanwei. Tell me, can you help me?"

In Zhu Di's military camp outside Daning City, a man wearing a black robe stood there.

Zhu Di straightforwardly explained his purpose to Zhu Quan, and then looked at Zhu Quan, his eyes flashing. It seemed that this time, he was determined to capture him.

Looking at Zhu Di's appearance, Zhu Quan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Fourth brother, I knew you wouldn't have any good news."

"I didn't expect that you would target my three major bodyguards."

Zhu Di was not polite and said directly:

"Then what else can we do? There are cavalry on the grassland."

"How can we pursue the Tatars without powerful cavalry?"

"The three guards under your command are all elite after your training. Aren't they great contributions to the empire?"

"You kid, don't be stingy. When I defeat the Tatars, I will definitely give you credit."

Zhu Quan is the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he is young, he is still very capable.

Today, the only person Zhu Di is afraid of is Zhu Yuanzhang, the seventeenth younger brother, the person Zhu Di is most afraid of.

As King Ning, Zhu Quan was in a vast grassland, surrounded by wolves. The only thing he could rely on was his status as a vassal king.

Zhu Quan was only fifteen years old at the time, but at this age, Zhu Quan had already managed Daning very well.

Moreover, Zhu Quan was able to maintain nearly 100,000 troops on the border, which shows how powerful Zhu Quan is.

The Three Guards of Duoyan, originally the three armies of Wuhariang, rebelled several times during the Hongwu period. Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly attacked them, but in the end they were defeated and defeated. Finally, they were killed to pieces.

But as soon as Zhu Quan came, he recruited Wuhariang's tribe and let them graze near Daning, gradually gathering Wuhariang's army.

The Wuhaliang Army completely surrendered to King Ning and was renamed Duoyan Army.

It can be said that as soon as Zhu Quan arrived in Daning, the Mongols no longer dared to look at Daning, because they all understood that King Ning was not someone they could provoke.

Although Zhu Di said something tough, whether he wanted to borrow it or not depended on Prince Ning's wishes. Otherwise, there would be no chance at all.
