Chapter 1082 Formation of Xuanwu Guard
In front of the envoys from various countries, Zhu Zhanji scolded the Java envoys. The news spread quickly, and when it reached Zhu Di's ears, he was walking with Zhu Gaosui.
In the hot summer, the high temperature does not care whether you are an emperor or a commoner.
Zhu Di has a quick temper and has rheumatism, so it can be said that he doesn't like it all year round.
Zhu Gaosui glanced at Zhu Di who was expressionless, and said with a smile: "Father, Zhan Ji is... a little reckless, after all, Ming Dynasty is conquering Burma, and these vassal states need to win over them well!"
Everyone understands the principle of long distance and close attack.
On the matter of attacking Burma, Zhu Di insisted on his own opinion and abruptly suppressed those objections.
Zhu Di stood under the shade of a tree with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Myanmar has repeatedly attacked and attacked Yun/South. If it cannot be resolved, it will be a hidden danger in the future. People are young and old, and this is also the case in Ming Dynasty. Clean up side problems when you are strong, and wait for future generations? I am afraid it will not work!"
At the beginning of the Yongle Dynasty, there were many border troubles in the Ming Dynasty: two heroes in the grassland, Japanese pirates, Jiaozhi...
Now the Wa Kingdom bowed its head, North Korea surrendered, and Jiaozhi merged, leaving only the grassland. As for Myanmar, it is not a serious problem, just like mosquitoes, the bite is very annoying.
Zhu Gaosui took a peek at Zhu Di, and said with an apologetic smile: "Father, but Java is lonely overseas, which is of no benefit to Daming, and my ministers have heard that Javanese people are fierce, and they only need to escape arrest for three days to get away with murder. Killing each other at every turn, this country is truly formidable!"
Wanwan took her 'guards' and ran past in a hurry, Zhu Di couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it, and the eunuch went to the woods on the left to check.
When he came back, he looked like he was holding back a smile.
"Your Majesty, the Princess dug a hole in it just now, and the old slave looked at it. There is a water basin beside it. He probably wants to plant something."
Zhu Di's beard curled up, his expression softened a bit, and then turned cold: "Da Ming has a fleet, an invincible fleet, so fierce? I really want to see it!"
Daming is at the height of the sun at this time, looking around, he can't find an opponent who can strike the whole country, it's really lonely!
Zhu Gaosui smiled and said: "Yes! Father has ruled Daming as far as the Han and Tang Dynasties, but overseas is dangerous after all, but... Father, the Jubao Mountain Guard is very powerful. If they go, they will surely be able to win."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "The Suzaku Guards are not bad either. I plan to expand the guards with guns and cannons. By then, 10,000 people will be enough to destroy the country, and I will be able to overlook all the states in Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Gaosui nodded and said yes, but his eyes were a little scattered.
For Zhu Di, the rest was only temporary, and after going for a walk, he summoned Meng Ying and Zhang Fu to discuss the matter.
Zhang Fu had been silent for a long time, and looked more bookish.
Zhu Di was practicing swordsmanship, and a long sword was used by him vigorously. The tricks looked simple, but they were all tricks on the battlefield.
Most of today's martial arts are actually born out of battle formations. They are all murderous tricks, which emphasize practicality, and those graceful tricks are not seen at all.
The last knife is a diagonal chop, and then the knife is retracted.
After receiving the ice towel from the eunuch, Zhu Di wiped off the sweat on his face, and threw the knife at Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu, he moved his body slightly, grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand, and then saluted Meng Ying.
This is a signal!
Zhu Di said with satisfaction: "It seems that you are not neglected at home, so get ready, I'm going to perform martial arts outside the city of Beiping!"
Zhang Fu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, how many people do you dare to ask?"
There are quite a few guards in Beiping, if they all get together, there will be only human heads in the city.
Zhu Di said: "During the Northern Expedition last time, I wanted to perform martial arts in Shacheng, but unfortunately the time did not wait for me. Now that Ming Dynasty has not used swords for a long time, it is time to take a look. Let the people see it, so that they can feel at ease. Let the officials see it." Look, don't let them think that Daming's swords and guns go to the warehouse, and the horses go to Nanshan."
"As for those envoys, let them have a look. If there is any disobedience, then they will die without regret!"
The emperor is itching again!
Both Zhang Fu and Meng Ying realized this,
Zhu Di was not reconciled to this kind of easy life, he preferred the feeling of defeating the enemy with gold and iron horses.
"What do you two think of Jubaoshanwei and Suzakuwei?"
Zhu Di gave the question, but it surprised Meng Ying and Zhang Fu.
Meng Ying said: "Your Majesty, the Suzaku Guards are skilled in warfare and dense with lead bullets. If they go out alone, I think they can attack North Korea. If they expand, I think the number should be strictly controlled. It is best not to use the guards in the south." In exchange, at most put a guard in Jinling."
Zhu Di nodded: "That's right, the south is peaceful, but if there is too much, there will be chaos."
The literati and gentry in the south are too close together. If there are too many firearms guards stationed in the south, if there is a change, then...
Zhang Fu sighed in his heart, knowing that this was suspicion, but the current army was like this, and the instructor had only started working not long ago, so it was difficult to reverse the notion that being a soldier was just food, and whoever gave food would follow.
There is also the issue of the gap between the North and the South.
Lao Zhu's family collects heavy taxes in the south and goes to appease the north. This is suppressing the south!
Zhu Di pondered: "Let's form a guard first, and put it in Beiping. Xuanwu Guard, yes, it's called Xuanwu Guard."
Suzaku Guard, Xuanwu Guard, will there be Qinglong Guard and White Tiger Guard behind them?
Meng Ying felt that Zhu Di was already a little fanatical, and actually put the name of the army on the holy beast.
Adding the Suzaku Guards, the two guards make up 10,000 people. This force can destroy the country!
Think about the muskets that don’t use matchlocks, think about the artillery that is blasted out by one cannon, blocking the way...
Meng Ying thought of another layer and glanced at Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu said: "Your Majesty, the side wall has been equipped with artillery one after another. It is more than enough to defend, but it is not enough to be aggressive. Can you equip a small amount of muskets?"
Zhu Di shook his head and said: "If the side wall is replaced with muskets, Arutai will definitely join forces with the Oirats! And the Northern Expedition will not help, so you have to remember, don't underestimate your opponents, if they are cruising to deal with them, Daming will be able to fight against them." how?"
The enemies on the grassland were more mobile than the Ming army. If they wanted to avoid a decisive battle, then the Northern Expedition would be a waste of food and grass.
This is Zhu Di, the king of horses!
He is not an emperor who grew up in the hands of women in the deep palace, but led his army into the grassland many times when he was young, and conquered the remaining princes of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
The several personal conquests after ascension to the throne stabilized Daming's northern defense line, allowing Daming to recuperate.
So those who say that Zhu Di is militaristic are idiots!
The foreign races in the north, as long as you spare ten years from conquest or suppression, a new opponent will appear after ten years, and by then it will not be the money and food that the Northern Expedition spent.
—— Civil Fortress!
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he was unable to suppress the north, and then his son was unlucky, and those who were recuperated and integrated with the grassland forces almost destroyed the country first!
Zhu Di got up, and said with his hands behind his back: "Although the world is safe, forget that war will be in danger! Let's all go prepare, just see which one is more elite during the martial arts performance, and pick them out at that time to form the Xuanwu Guard!"
Zhang Fu and Meng Ying hurriedly bowed to accept the order. Before leaving, Meng Ying looked back at the back—it was still wide and reassuring!
