Chapter 388: Jindouzi Recognizes His Aunt and Wins! (Xie Baiding Li
Chapter 388: Golden Beans recognize their aunt, and they win! (Thanks to the leader of the alliance, Baiding Li Xiucai)
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, following the two battalions of cavalry led by Zhou Lang, rushed across the floating bridge and rushed to Lishui County overnight.
Upstream of Lishui.
Lan Yu led the Prince's Guards and came to the river bank.
The turbulent river water, in the reflection of the torches, rolled forward.
"Third brother, Chang Mao and his men must be nearby and have hidden the boats." Lan Yu retracted his sight from the river. When there was still some distance from Lishui, Chang Mao took the initiative to lead a team of scouts to take the lead and look for boats in the villages along the coast of Lishui.
He guessed it at the time.
Chang Mao must have cheated.
He collected the boats in advance and hid them.
The formulation of the confrontation exercise plan involved many people.
Although it was kept secret.
The route was also determined by drawing lots.
But given Chang Mao's identity, it was not difficult to find out some details and get some hints in advance.
He suspected that Chang Mao had already collected all the boats along the Lishui River.
Zhu Laosi, don't even think about getting a boat!
Lishui River is not too deep.
The deepest part is only one person deep.
Shallow places can be waded directly.
But it is already November.
The First Army Regiment will be soaked when wading to the other side, so don't think about running too fast.
Moreover, once the gunpowder prepared by the court for the confrontation exercise is soaked.
It will also be judged by the judging panel as a loss of combat effectiveness.
There are also artillery.
If wading and swimming, the artillery will not be able to cross the river.
It will also be judged as a loss of combat effectiveness.
Xu Da's eyes flashed with helplessness. What Lan Yu thought of, of course, he also thought of it, but what can he do.
As a guest army, the First Army Regiment was unfair from the beginning of the confrontation exercise.
Silang must know it.
However, as long as the First Army Regiment tried its best, even if it lost, it would be an honorable defeat.
Thinking of this, Xu Da smiled and said, "Don't think too much. There is no fairness on the battlefield. Compared with the First Army Town, the two new troops of the imperial court participating in the confrontation exercise are fighting on the home ground, so they naturally have various natural advantages.
Now it can be regarded as a real battle. The First Army Town, as a guest army, appears in Lishui County, which you are defending. In the real battlefield, you will definitely search and destroy the fishing boats on the Lishui River in advance, and don't give the First Army Town an easy chance to cross the river..."
Lan Yu felt much more comfortable when he heard it, but he smiled bitterly.
That's right.
But...
"But if this is the case, we all lose to the First Army Town, then the real combat effectiveness of the new recruits of the First Army Town is very terrifying! Third brother!"
This is equivalent to Zhu Laosi leading the First Army Town into their territory.
Under the conditions of not taking advantage of the time, place and people.
And gaining an advantage!
The First Army Town cannot do it without excellent qualities!
Thinking of this, Lan Yu was immediately full of energy.
A strong desire to win flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he especially wanted to see that they had tried their best and had the advantage of time, place and people.
Does the first army town have excellent qualities?
Overwhelm them!
Xu Da smiled.
Lan Yu caught it cleverly, and a look of realization flashed in his eyes.
Haha...
Then he laughed heartily and pointed at Xu Da, "Third brother, you are really an old fox! You have been encouraging us all the way, but you actually want to see the real quality of your son-in-law's first army town!"
"You even tend to think that we have the advantage of time, place and people, and we are not the opponent of the first army town even if we try our best!"
"Is it right?"
Xu Da's smile became even stronger.
"Commander, Chang Biao is back!"
At this moment, the generals beside Lan Yu reminded.
Xu Da and Lan Yu looked in the direction of the general's finger.
Upstream, more than 30 fishing boats came quickly downstream.
A moment later.
Chang Mao landed, and the prince's guards led the soldiers to rush up and began to use fishing boats to build a floating bridge on the river.
Chang Mao came to Lan Yu and said with a smile: "Commander, I have fulfilled my mission and found 35 fishing boats. I hired them with money. At the same time, I also spent money to dismantle some door panels in the nearby village."
Lan Yu looked at Chang Mao and nodded.
If Chang Mao had reported this to him before he had figured it out thoroughly.
He would definitely have beaten Chang Mao to death with a whip.
Thirty-five fishing boats and door panels, these were clearly prepared in advance.
Otherwise, how could so many fishing boats be found in such a short time.
"Go back to your headquarters and prepare to cross the river."
Chang Mao looked at Lan Yu suspiciously.
He was ready to be scolded and questioned by Lan Yu.
'Strange, Lan Yu didn't guess that these boats were prepared by me in advance? '
Chang Mao was suspicious and complained, and hurried away after receiving the order.
After three incense sticks.
A floating bridge composed of fishing boats and door panels appeared on the river.
Lan Yu waved his hand, "Cross the river!"
When the artillery finally crossed the Lishui River, Lan Yu looked downstream in the direction of the First Army Town, then shifted his gaze to Xu Da, and said with a smile: "Third brother, let's go too."
As soon as the voice fell, the horse galloped across the river.
He got off the horse.
Following the soldiers, he encouraged loudly: "Hurry up! 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 judging team and followed the Beijing Camp New Army to cross the river.
Mu Ying looked at the floating bridge built by fishing boats and door panels, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This confrontation exercise, from the beginning, was not fair at all."
"We have plundered all the fishing boats here. We can't use them ourselves, so we hide them. The artillery of the First Army Regiment cannot cross the river. If the gunpowder gets wet..."
Geng Bingwen smiled, "The two new armies are doing this secretly. Your Majesty really doesn't know?"
Mu Ying raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Geng Bingwen.
"Your Majesty just wants to see whether the First Army Regiment, as a guest army, can win without the advantage of time, place and people. I want to see the quality of the First Army Regiment in actual combat."
Geng Bingwen smiled at Mu Ying with great confidence.
Is it really so?
Mu Ying was slightly stunned.
If this is the case, can the First Army Regiment arrive in Lishui first?
Impossible?
Mu Ying shook his head.
He thought it was impossible.
It's too difficult!
Instruct the judging panel to report back and then Mu Ying and Geng Bingwen followed the Beijing Camp New Army to cross the river.
"Marquis Changxing, did you really sever the father-son relationship with Geng Xuan?"
Mu Ying asked suddenly.
Geng Bingwen was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mu Ying, parents are so pitiful. When your child grows 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 nodded silently.
Many people in the prince's family secretly cursed Changxing Hou for trying to play both sides and betting on the prince and the fourth son.
However, he believed in Geng Bingwen.
If the fourth son and the prince have a conflict one day, Geng Bingwen will definitely be loyal to his subjects.
I hope this will not happen.
It would be too cruel for many people in the Ming Dynasty.
Brothers, fathers and sons, shouting and killing on the battlefield, crying at the same time.
No matter who wins or loses, it is destined to be a tragedy.
……
After Zhou Lang's troops built a pontoon bridge, the prince's guards and the new army of the Beijing camp rushed to pass through Lishui.
Half an hour later.
Zhu Di led the soldiers of the first regiment of the army to arrive in Lishui.
Along the floating bridge built by the two cavalry camps, they slowly passed through Lishui.
Looking down from above.
On the south bank of Lishui, three armies were in a row, with lights on, like a fire dragon, rolling and sweeping, racing against time, rushing towards Lishui County.
Another hour passed.
Zhu Yuanzhang led his ministers to the bank of Lishui River.
The ministers cursed in a low voice and got off the carriage.
"The First Army Town is too wicked!"
"What kind of road did they build!"
"So, only their artillery carts can pass?"
...
Zhu Yuanzhang got off the imperial carriage and heard the complaints from behind, and couldn't help laughing.
He stretched his waist.
The corners of his lips twitched, and the smile disappeared.
Backache!
The fourth brother and his men are too wicked!
What kind of road did they build!
The ditch washed out by rainwater on the landfill road is very tricky, and its width is only the wheelbase of their artillery carts.
This bumpy road.
His old bones are almost falling apart!
Zhu Xiongying followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the car, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression of first laughing and then black face. He held back his laughter and pointed to the front, "Grandfather, the floating bridge built by the First Army Town."
Zhu Xiongying's voice was not loud.
But many people heard it.
With the faint light, he looked in the direction of Zhu Xiongying's finger.
You can vaguely see that a floating bridge is lying quietly on the river.
"Let's go and take a look." Zhu Yuanzhang called out and took the lead.
The accompanying palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly ran to the front with lanterns to light the way.
A group of people came to the river.
They were curious, bent down, and took advantage of the dim light of the lanterns to get closer and observe carefully.
Zhu Yuanzhang squatted down to observe.
His eyes have been getting worse and worse in recent years.
However, this matter cannot be told to anyone.
Zhu Xiongying pointed to the iron parts that fixed the logs and introduced: "This standard iron part is a method that the cavalry battalion found out during the training of the engineering department. To make such a simple wooden board assembled from logs, two cavalry battalions trained by the engineering department, four soldiers cooperated, and they could make one 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 floating bridge to the other side.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous! This floating bridge is too simple!"
...
The officials behind him spoke up one after another.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at it, smiled, turned around and invited: "Father, try it too. This floating bridge can be used by cavalry and artillery vehicles. It is very safe."
Zhu Biao smiled and rubbed Zhu Xiongying's little head, followed Zhu Yuanzhang and walked to the other side of the river.
Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others followed silently.
The officials who opposed looked at each other, dared not say anything, and hurried to follow.
Walking tremblingly on the shaky floating bridge, the tension on the faces of the officials gradually disappeared as they walked. Many of them were curious. They also stepped slightly on the bridge. The solid feeling came through the soles of their feet. Many officials looked at each other in surprise. After everyone crossed the bridge, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at the simple floating bridge across the river, asking: "How long did it take the two cavalry battalions of the First Army Town to build this simple floating bridge?" The civil servant of the Ministry of Personnel, who was left by Tang He to report the situation, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it took about an hour." "One hour?" "To build such a bridge in one hour?" "Now among the three new armies, is it possible that the First Army Town is still in the front?" ... The officials whispered and discussed.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the officials, pointed to the pontoon bridge, and asked Zhu Biao and the surrounding generals: "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.
Definitely 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. 1 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 and military department must have a series of skills such as building roads and building pontoon bridges.
As for how to do it, my fourth uncle didn’t understand 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 was compiled by the cavalry officers themselves, although the language was in plain language and was very 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 it for distribution 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 army of the imperial court 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.
Ta-ta-ta...
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 in the capital, as long as they seize Lishui County in advance, the face of the new army in 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 Mansion.
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.
Raise your hand and 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 were questions coming 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 hardly 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 teacup 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 started to smile.
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, is swaddled, 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.
I couldn't help but laugh.
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 to the Central Plains from the grasslands. 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 saw Jin Douzi reaching out 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'll 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 having children, for the sake of her body, she must be deliberately restrained.
How could she not think about Shiro.
Don't you think about this home?
…
Godmother?
The light in Wu Yunqige's eyes flashed away. Inspired by this idea, she thought of a good idea, and then smiled and said: "My godmother doesn't sound good, it makes me look very old. How about I be the little guy's aunt?" "
ha!
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. She gradually relaxed and looked at Xu Miaoyun: "Ms. Miaoyun, I actually don't have any thoughts about Zhu Crou. I pretended to be pitiful before and deliberately went to you and Zhu Crou. I wanted Zhu Crou to dislike me. Do you believe it?"
Puff!
Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but laugh.
"Believe it, I saw it a long time ago." She nodded and smiled at Wu Yunqige.
Wu Yunqige was probably the first one to treat Silang like this.
After Silang returned triumphantly from the grassland.
From the dignitaries to the common people.
How many young girls secretly fell in love with Silang.
Wu Yunqige was a special case.
This was also the reason why she liked Wu Yunqige and felt that Wu Yunqige was suitable for their family.
Wu Yunqige would not get close to Silang because of his power.
If she got close, she must be in love with Silang from the bottom of her heart.
As for whether Wu Yunqige would fall in love with Silang,
She was very confident about this.
…
Huh!
Wu Yunqige secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhan Yan smiled even happier.
She had thought it would be difficult to explain clearly.
Unexpectedly, it was so easy.
Miss Miaoyun is a smart woman who can manage her life well. It is comfortable to associate with such a smart and beautiful woman!
That night.
The two top beauties chatted happily.
…
At the same time.
Zhu Di led the soldiers and galloped towards Lishui County.
Lishui County.
It was approaching midnight.
It was very late at night.
Lian Zining, the magistrate of Lishui County, stood at the north gate of Lishui County with the county clerks and yamen runners, waiting quietly.
"Sir, the first to arrive in our Lishui County should be the Prince's Guard. I have prepared food for the soldiers. They can enjoy it when the Prince's Guard arrives."
Everyone looked at the county magistrate, and then at Lian Zining.
Lian Zining frowned slightly, "Only the Prince's Guard?"
The county magistrate smiled awkwardly, "There are also the new troops of the Beijing Camp. As for the First Army Town, we have limited manpower, so we can only let them wait and prepare..."
Hmph!
Before the county magistrate finished speaking, Lian Zining snorted coldly and turned around, looking at the county magistrate coldly: "Do you think that doing this is to please the prince!"
"Zhang County Magistrate, do you know why Jiangning Yang County Magistrate was promoted to county magistrate, while you are still in the position of county magistrate at an old age!"
"Zhang County Magistrate, you always like to do things in the wrong direction!"
When it comes to rural villages, as long as he goes to the village to see, this guy will follow him happily.
However, he did not go there to observe the customs and habits of each village under the jurisdiction of Lishui.
Instead, he followed him closely and flattered him.
The imperial guards of the court kept watching the county magistrates who were building the rural villages.
They reported to His Majesty all the time.
His Majesty knew clearly the performance of everyone.
Fang Xizhi recommended Jiangning County Magistrate Yang to His Majesty.
His Majesty agreed directly.
It was because His Majesty knew the performance of County Magistrate Yang in the process of building the rural villages in Jiangning.
The county magistrate Zhang in front of him.
He thought that he could not be promoted because he did not recommend him.
His Majesty knew clearly the performance of this person in the process of building the rural villages in Lishui.
His recommendation worked!
Now he actually wants to make things difficult for the King of Yan and please the prince by targeting the first town of the army?
Where does he put the prince!
They went to Fujian to observe how the King of Yan entertained everyone.
His honesty made him ashamed!
Now that the Prince of Yan has returned to the court to help the Crown Prince in the Northern Expedition, he is using such despicable means to target him?
Let alone, the relationship between the Prince of Yan and the Crown Prince has not broken down.
The Crown Prince is still learning from the Prince of Yan.
Even if it breaks down.
He still despises using such despicable means.
In addition to disgusting people, does this method have any other real effects?
Ta-ta-ta...
Just when everyone was suddenly angry and scolded by Lian Zining, there were faint footsteps coming from the darkness in the distance.
Lian Zining's ears moved slightly and glared at the county magistrate.
Turned around and listened attentively.
Ta-ta-ta...
The footsteps became clearer and clearer.
"Here they come!"
"It must be a large army!"
"It should be the Prince's guards, right?"
...
When the long fire dragon came into view from afar, everyone at the city gate was excited.
Lian Zining was also very nervous.
Squinting his eyes, he tried to see clearly which new army it was.
He just hated Zhang County Magistrate's dirty behavior.
In his heart.
Of course, he also hoped that the prince's guards would arrive in Lishui County first.
Rumble...
The sound of horse hooves came.
In the darkness, a cavalryman rushed out with torches and approached.
"Not a red coat!"
"The First Army Regiment!"
...
When everyone saw the uniforms of the cavalrymen of the First Army Regiment led by Zhou Lang, their faces changed instantly and exclaimed.
Lian Zining stared at the cavalrymen who were approaching quickly with disbelief...
As far as he knew, the two new armies of the court cheated!
Even if the First Army Regiment chose the route with the best road conditions, it would be difficult to cross Lishui without a boat.
Could it be that the artillery was abandoned?
Oh!
Lian Zining came back to his senses when Zhou Lang reined in his horse.
Hundreds of cavalry brothers stopped abruptly a hundred steps away.
Zhou Lang turned over and got off the horse.
Alas!
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.
Ta-ta-ta...
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.
"Have the new troops for the imperial court's drill 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.
…
Ta-ta-ta...
"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 first army 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?"
Ha ha……
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 good!"
Tang He laughed heartily. After laughing, he looked at the looming fire in the distance, restrained 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.
Nothing else.
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 20,000 people, plus 30,000 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 rural communities 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, cakes, 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 can see that the imperial court has the advantage of the right time, place and people, but it still suffered a total defeat!"
He really tried hard.
After running all the way to now, almost 10% 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 No. 1 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 immediately shocked.
"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 can it be!"
"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.
Nod with satisfaction.
Biao'er was not affected by the failure and immediately wanted to find out the reason.
not bad.
"Your second uncle said in the letter that although Laosi's Army No. 1 Town is a new recruit, his tenacity and endurance are very good, and his overall quality is better than that of the imperial army. In addition, Laosi Army No. 1 Town has no night blindness. Later, this advantage made the Army's No. 1 town 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 army town, grab Lishui and come out on top!"
…
ah? !
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. 1 Town has achieved such good results.
But at the same time, I am also worried that the outstanding performance of Army No. 1 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 from the Beijing Camp was injured. Three hundred people were injured and withdrawn from the battle order. Two artillery carriages were damaged. They were withdrawn from the battle order and the war 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, two hundred people were injured, three artillery carriages were damaged, and the war horses...the final judgment is, C!"
…
"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 No. 1 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.
Sapphire waste!
Even though they had all the advantages, they lost to the Army’s No. 1 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 fiscal and 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 1.4 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 a piece of meat. If you win, the minimum is 1.4 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 His Majesty to use it like this.
But this time, he didn't want to take the lead in opposing it.
If King Yan had not gone 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 a few hundred thousand 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 scolded 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 a hundred years.
More than one million taels of silver, the flowers have been spent.
If you take it, it will make many people feel unhappy.
But hundreds of thousands of people are migrating to Dongpan and Palawan, and they 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 took in 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 own 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. 1 Town will allocate one 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. 1 Town. bayonet charge!"
There is no way to engage in direct confrontation drills when firing guns and muskets.
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 nearby to watch.
Zhu Feng whispered: "Father, the loading speed of No. 1 Town of the Fourth Army is faster!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
Although the two armies were fighting, there was basically only one chance to fire.
But this performance reloads and shoots again.
Army No. 1 Town is faster, which undoubtedly shows from the side that Army No. 1 Town is more skilled in the use of firearms.
After the salvo performance.
The real confrontational exercise begins.
The First Army Regiment, Zhang Wu's First Brigade and the First Brigade went to battle.
The Prince's Guard, the Beijing Camp New Army, Chang Mao led a brigade and Qu Neng led a brigade to fight.
Each soldier received a wooden stick.
One end of the stick was wrapped in cotton cloth, and the inside was 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 withdraw from the confrontation exercise.
The First Army Regiment, one brigade, against the court's new army, two brigade!
Lan Yu, Mu Ying, and Wang Zuo came to Qu Neng Brigade and Chang Mao Brigade.
Lan Yu reminded: "Remember to cooperate in groups of five, and let the soldiers never show individual bravery, and must cooperate well..."
Lan Yu repeatedly reminded.
He didn't forget.
Palawan Island, the scene of close combat between the First Battalion and the Chen Family New Army.
The shock of the First Battalion was too strong for him.
Divide a small number of troops to entangle the most difficult bones to chew.
On the battlefield, the other five people were in groups, constantly combining and dispersing with each other, using the momentum of a butcher knife to kill a chicken, concentrating superior forces at local points one by one, sweeping the Chen family's new army.
After solving the easy ones.
The Chen family's new army lost its advantage in strength.
The first battalion concentrated its absolute superior forces and began to bite the hard bones.
After returning, he and Mu Ying have been training this tactic.
Confidence, in this regard, is very good.
Moreover, the Prince's Guard and the Beijing Camp New Army are veterans who have been through many battles.
But Zhu Laosi's First Army Town has obviously not relaxed in the years since the observation group left.
"Commander, rest assured!"
Chang Mao patted his chest and glanced at the First Army Town in the distance, "I dare not say anything else, fighting on the battlefield, the First Army Town is not qualified! What's more, we are two battalions against one battalion!"
Qu Neng nodded silently.
His eyes were eager to try.
Finally, he can really compete with this world's strongest army that he has admired for a long time.
The only regret is that he can't fight one-on-one. He needs to join forces with the Prince's Guard and attack a mark of the First Army Town with a ratio of 2 to 1.
He wants to fight one-on-one more.
Even if he loses.
He is happy!
Zhu Chong, Zhu Yu and a group of people stood together with Zhu Di.
Zhu Chong watched Chang Mao pat his chest from a distance, and was a little worried, "Old Four, don't you go to arrange tactics for the brothers of the First Army Town?"
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "In the past few years, they have been practicing every day. They know how to fight."
He wants to see more, he doesn't care.
Can Tan Yuan and his men fight this battle well!
Zhu Yuanzhang heard the brothers' discussion, and he and Ma Xiuying looked at each other and looked at the First Army Town.
Tan Yuan patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and told him: "We don't know how capable Qu Neng is. Try to entangle Qu Neng as much as possible, concentrate superior forces, and hit Chang Mao hard. We all know Chang Mao..."
Zhang Wu laughed immediately.
It's the same as what he thought.
When they were in Liaodong, they knew Chang Mao.
This man has some ability, but his flaws are even greater.
Dong Dong Dong...
Just when Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and others were discussing specific tactics.
The drumbeats suddenly sounded.
Everyone was immediately shocked.
Ma Xiuying watched Zhang Wu lead his troops out of the First Army Town, slightly turned sideways, and whispered to Mingxia standing beside him with a smile, "Do you have confidence in Zhang Wu?"
The young man who stuttered and was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly in front of Chongba in the past.
Now, he has become an assistant commander under the command of Lao Si.
Mingxia's face flushed slightly, "My queen, I don't know either. After all, the court has two banners, and we only have one banner here."
As she spoke, Mingxia stared at Zhang Wu nervously...
"Today is a good opportunity to truly observe the ability of King Yan to train generals."
Tang He stood in front of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, turned his head and whispered, "Zhang Wu used to be a general flag under your command, right? Now he has started to lead 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 wanted to see what this dull and introverted young man had become.
…
At this moment, many people were talking about something similar to Tang He.
Pairs of eyes were staring intently at the drill ground…
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The wind suddenly stopped.
Reporting the word count, more than 13,400 words, 1,600 words short.
I should have another 2,000 words to finish writing this content. It’s twelve o’clock now, and I can’t write 2,000 words. I will find a chance to make up for the 2,000 words later.
Finally, I shamelessly ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
