Chapter 342 Zhu Silang Has It, and the Prince Must Have It!

"Yunwen, call me grandpa."

…

East Palace.

The prince's concubine's bedroom.

Lu Ben hugged Zhu Yunwen and teased her affectionately, and at the same time asked: "How has the prince treated you mother and son during this period?"

Lu smiled easily and said: "Very good, the grandson is not here, and the prince often comes to see Yun Wen..."

Lu Ben was even more happy when he heard this, "Zhu Silang is really our family's nemesis. After this nemesis left Jinling, everything got better..."

He made a special trip to take leave and come back to celebrate his grandson's first birthday.

Yun Wen is the Qilin son of their Lu family.

"On the way back, my father happened to meet the Fujian chief envoy at the inn. He wrote a letter to his father on the name of a local powerful man in Fujian. Emperor Zhu thought that Ye Mao was from Jiangning and would support Zhu Silang. What might happen to him? I never thought..."

…

Lu was secretly surprised.

Are the Japanese pirates going to give Zhu Silang a slap in the face?

No news came back from Jinling City.

But it's not surprising.

Fujian is too far away from Jinling.

Lu quickly asked: "Father, is Zhu Silang going to be in trouble this time?"

Lu Ben pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "It should be almost the same, otherwise it would be impossible for Ye Mao to write to me in a hurry without results."

Ye Mao made it clear that he hoped to join the prince's disciples through him.

However, he was thinking about how to get Ye Mao to board the Lu family's boat.

Before Yun Wen was born, he would not have thought about this.

But now that Yun Wen is around, the evil thoughts in his heart that cannot be told to outsiders, even to his daughter, are getting heavier and heavier.

Ye Mao took the initiative to write a letter, hoping that he would help introduce him to the prince's family.

He began to think about how to make Ye Mao become Yun Wen's person.

Ye Mao is now a border official.

And not too old.

Will definitely be able to enter the center in the future.

After returning to the court, at least he started as a minister.

However, he still has no idea how to operate it.

Changing the subject and asking: "How does the prince treat that little wild cat?"

The smile on Lu's face froze slightly.

Looking at Lu's face, Lu Ben guessed it, and his face turned slightly cold: "The prince is not tired of this barbarian girl? What is there about her that fascinates the prince, and you can't learn from it?"

How can my daughter learn?

Mrs. Lu lowered her head and complained in her heart.

Although, after the Crown Princess seriously dealt with the gossiping palace maid, these things were never spread again.

But she already knew.

But she didn't know how Miss Wang kept the prince awake most of the night.

Maybe, she ran to ask Beauty Wang for advice.

I definitely can't tell my father this.

Even the father cannot know about matters related to the reputation of the prince.

"Beauty Wang understands the prince's thoughts very well. We are all vying for it. When we want to give birth to a son for the prince, Beauty Wang prays for blessings and wants to give him a daughter..."

It is no secret in the East Palace that Beauty Wang wants to have a daughter.

It is said that the prince was also very happy.

I think back to when I went to Tuqiao Village on the first day of the new year.

Isn’t it that the prince hugged Zhu Silang’s family Qihua and couldn’t put it down?

Wang Meiren observed really carefully.

This kind of method to please men, I don't know why, there is no end.

Lu Ben glared at Tie Buchengang, "I heard that nowadays, the Crown Prince always goes to the palace of Princess Wang to learn the art of war..."

snort!

I don’t know if I’m going to learn the art of war or something else…

Lu nodded.

…

at the same time.

Jiang 𤩽 took a letter and hurriedly entered the palace.

All the way to the imperial study room.

Seeing that the door of the royal study was closed, he asked in a low voice: "Is the emperor here?"

The palace maid replied softly: "Your Majesty is taking an examination of the Crown Prince's art of war."

Jiang 𤩽 nodded and chose to wait.

How can the news of Zhu Silang's success be compared with the Prince's Art of War examination.

During this period, His Majesty will spend half a day every month to call Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Wei Guogong and others to test the Crown Prince's art of war.

The military training manual written by Zhu Silang to Qiu Fu, the commander of the Daliao River Guards, has been tested and perfected in actual combat and has been sent back to the court.

The East Palace Guards and the Beijing Camp have begun to add some firearms and adjust the proportions of gunmen, archers, sword and shield soldiers, and cavalry in accordance with this military manual.

The training in the Beijing camp was in charge of Wei Guogong Xu Da and Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong.

The training of the prince's guards is led by the prince, assisted by Mu Ying and Lan Yu.

In the past, the prince did not often go to the prince's guard to lead the camp.

During this period, the prince often spent at least half of the day in the military camp.

In the past, I looked a bit weak.

Today, a lot has changed.

Obviously, the prince attaches great importance to the Northern Expedition to destroy the Yuan Dynasty.

Is it because Zhu Shilang is so good that there is pressure?

Jiang 𤩽 glanced at the letter in his hand.

Zhu Silang left Jinling and went to Fujian. When the news came back this time, he felt as if he had broken free from the shackles and returned to the sea.

At least, Zhu Silang gave people the impression that he was even better after annihilating the Japanese pirates this time.

Although this battle cannot be compared with Zongheng Grassland.

But in this battle, he felt Zhu Silang's very proactive and aggressive nature!

…

Squeak!

When the door opens.

Jiang Jing was awakened and saw a group of people including Zhu Biao and Xu Da coming out. He quickly saluted and said, "Meet the Crown Prince. This is news from Fujian."

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Since Lao Si arrived in Fujian, there has been no new news for a while.

Xu Da, Lan Yu and others couldn't help but look at Jiang 𤩽 curiously.

Jiang 𤩽 hurriedly said: "The Japanese pirates landed in Min County."

"What's the matter?" At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from inside.

Zhu Biao and his party went and returned.

Jiang 𤩽stood in front of the imperial desk and saluted. Under the eager eyes of Zhu Biao and others, he held the letter in front of Zhu Yuanzhang with both hands, and briefly stated, "The day after Zhu County Magistrate arrived in Jian' an, he went to Min County. Then, the Japanese pirates invaded Min County. There were 8,000 Japanese pirates and 200 warships..."

When Zhu Biao and others heard this, their faces changed.

Xu Da was even more worried.

However, no one spoke and listened patiently.

When they heard that the Japanese pirates were completely wiped out and 200 warships were captured, everyone was stunned.

Lan Yu couldn't help asking, "Jiang 𤩽, do you know the details of the Prince of Yan defending the city?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his lips slightly and glanced at Lan Yu, "You guys talk about yours."

After giving the order, he felt very comfortable and continued to read the contents of the letter again and again.

This bastard Lao Si is really a little cow going to heaven.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for so long, and it has always been helpless against these slippery pirates.

Let's launch a naval battle.

It's not the time yet.

The Ming Dynasty has just received the Liaodong navy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and needs to be reorganized.

Unexpectedly, he has achieved such great results in Fujian.

It seems that it was right to let him deal with the pirates at the beginning.

……

Jiang 𤩽 secretly spied on Zhu Yuanzhang, and then his eyes fell on Lan Yu.

In the past, among the princes, Lan Yu was definitely the most radical and blatant one against Zhu Silang.

Now it's good.

Others haven't changed their positions yet.

Lan Yu changed early.

From being hostile to Zhu Silang, now, he is only thinking about appeasing Zhu Silang and helping the prince and Zhu Silang to have a good relationship!

Because Jinyiwei has spies in Lan's house.

He knows better than anyone the change in Lan Yu's attitude towards Zhu Silang.

While thinking about his own thoughts, Jiang 𤩽 said with a smile: "The King of Yan used a new tactic in defending the city..."

Although Jiang 𤩽's words were somewhat vague due to the limited content of the letter.

But the people present were all experienced warriors and understood it immediately.

In addition to being shocked, they secretly cheered.

Regardless of their positions, they are all soldiers. Such a wonderful city defense tactic, putting aside personal emotions, everyone has to give a thumbs up.

Zhu Biao didn't quite understand what he heard, so he asked humbly, "I heard Jiang 𤩽say that Lao Si defended Min County and was on the verge of collapse, but the Japanese pirates just couldn't take it down. What's the subtlety of this?"

Lan Yu spoke first: "Prince, the subtlety lies in the effective use of troops. There are only three or five people defending each place where the Japanese pirates climb the city ladder. The remaining troops are organized into groups of three or five as a reserve. The King of Yan is always keenly aware of every part of the battle situation..."

In a close combat.

Use a light front and heavy back style of play.

To be honest, beginners can't learn it at all.

To put it bluntly, a group of five people deployed at the ladder, in addition to guarding the ladder.

There is also a test of the enemy's attack on this siege point.

During the siege, don't think that dozens of ladders will be built at the same time.

Don't think that there will be a large number of troops near some ladders.

But in fact, any siege commander will arrange some real elites to attack two or three climbing points.

The tactics of the Prince of Yan require the commander to have a keen perception of the battle situation and the ability to make quick and correct decisions.

In the letter, the north gate defended by Xu Huizu and the south gate defended by Zhang Wu were repeatedly broken through by the Japanese pirates, causing a large number of Japanese pirates to pour into the city in a short period of time.

It is because they do not have Zhu Di's keen perception and decision-making ability.

However, these two young men, following Zhu Di and fighting such a war, will definitely benefit a lot.

The understanding of war has definitely reached a new level.

If the prince can participate in it...

Lan Yu secretly regretted it.

Such an opportunity is too precious for beginners.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has been reading the letter, he is also listening. After Lan Yu finished speaking, he smiled and said, "This opportunity is indeed rare. Let's build a simple city wall in the Beijing Camp and let the Beijing Camp cooperate with the East Palace Guards. According to the way the fourth brother fought against the Japanese pirates in Fujian, Biaoer will be responsible for defending the city and simulate fighting."

"Thank you, father!" Zhu Biao's voice was slightly choked with sobs.

In all dynasties, no prince could receive such treatment from him, right?

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other and couldn't help laughing excitedly, "Yes, sir!"

Xu Da looked at this scene and sighed silently.

He felt again that in the ninth year of Hongwu, Si Lang directly brought everything to the table, which was a correct choice.

If Si Lang went to the vassal state.

With his current achievements.

I'm afraid that His Majesty's attitude towards Si Lang is definitely not as fond of him as it is now.

It should be guarded against!

After receiving the order, Lan Yu's eyes fell on Jiang 𤩽again, and he couldn't wait to ask: "What about the field battle? If I command the Japanese pirates, the 900-man square formation of the King of Yan will definitely be defeated by me before the cavalry arrives!"

Jiang 𤩽 said it simply.

He was puzzled.

If he commanded the Japanese pirates.

Even if the King of Yan hid the cavalry, it would not be so easy to win.

Before the cavalry attacked, he had the confidence to defeat the 900-man formation of the King of Yan.

Then, before the cavalry arrived, thousands of people formed a battle array to fight against 500 cavalry, and the odds of winning or losing were at least 50-50!

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Everyone suddenly laughed secretly, knowing that His Majesty was going to show off again.

Zhu Yuanzhang clicked on the letter and looked at Lan Yu, "Lanyu, if it were you who were in charge of the Japanese pirates, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to win..."

Lan Yu felt a little dissatisfied for a moment.

"For this battle, Lao Si gathered two hundred gunmen and lined them up in a row. He rode a horse and stood at the front with the gunmen. He kept suppressing the gunmen and did not allow the gunmen to shoot until the Japanese pirates rushed into the fire. The best effective shooting range of the musket is within fifty steps before suddenly ordering the gunman to shoot..."

Lan Yu looked surprised.

The dissatisfaction in my heart disappeared instantly.

Even if you don’t listen to the subsequent developments.

He could guess it too.

During this period, after Taiziwei took the lead in equipping a large number of fire guns, Mu Ying specialized in multi-stage shooting training.

He had seen the power of a volley of fire cannons.

A fifty-step volley, he could imagine.

The Japanese pirates were rushing in densely, with two hundred gunmen within a fifty-step radius. As long as they held their guns level, they didn't have to aim at anyone. I'm afraid every projectile could hit a Japanese pirate.

The moment the explosion sounded, the array suddenly collapsed, leaving a huge void.

There was an explosion and instant death.

In an instant, it would cause great panic to the Japanese pirates rushing forward.

As long as King Yan seizes the opportunity and takes advantage of the enemy's temporary confusion, he quickly rushes into the empty space of the collapse, and attacks with fierce force like wind and rain, causing the chaos to spread to the entire enemy's offensive array in an instant.

…

"The Japanese pirate vanguard did not defeat Laosi's 900 men. Instead, a collapse-like chaos occurred. The Japanese pirates began to march the entire army. When the Japanese pirates were all trapped and squeezing the infantry under the command of Laosi, the cavalry launched a surprise attack..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped with a smile.

There is no need to say it anymore.

Even Biaoer can understand.

When a troop is fully engaged in battle.

It is impossible to form a formation to fight in a short period of time.

In the chaotic battle, orders could not be conveyed.

After a while, Zhu Biao came back to his senses, turned to Mu Ying, and asked curiously: "Brother, when you were in Yunnan, could you suppress our gunmen and shoot within fifty steps?"

His crown prince Wei rate definitely couldn't do it.

He was very curious whether his eldest brother Muying Yunnan could do it.

Mu Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Although I haven't tried it, I'm sure it can't be done."

The prince did not have the feeling of being on the front line during a battle between two armies.

It is incomprehensible. Within fifty steps, the violent roar of the enemy can be clearly heard, and the fear on the enemy's face can be seen.

Without the majesty established by defending the city for two days.

If the fourth child doesn't stand on the front line in person.

Even the two hundred gunmen of Haiphong could not do it.

He even suspected that the fourth child also used other methods, such as killing for shock.

However, the specific details are unknown due to limited space in the Hong Kong Economic Journal.

"In short, our army, at least for now, cannot reach this elite level. The fourth man's personal prestige plays a big role."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, Mu Ying's evaluation was very objective.

He reminded: "You all know about the battle in Fujian. We are very sure that some of the things shown in this battle in Fujian must be the prototype of the old four and twenty thousand feudal kings' guards. You must increase the rate of training the Jingying camp and the prince's guards. It’s a bit difficult, but don’t wait for a while. Lao Si will lead his troops back to help in the battle. Our regular army of the Ming Dynasty will be outmatched by his vassal guards. "

"I obey the order!"

…

After a while.

Watch Zhu Biao and others leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh and cursed in a low voice: "This bastard makes us a little impatient. We want to see what kind of elite team he brings back to us."

After saying that, he got up and headed to Kunning Palace.

Such great news.

You have to tell Xiuying.

As Zhu Biao and others left the imperial study room.

The news quickly spread in the court and the city.

"Have you heard? King Yan won another battle!"

"I've heard it before. Eight thousand Japanese pirates were wiped out! Two hundred warships were captured!"

"Two hundred warships! We have only been in Fujian for a long time, and King Yan's warships are ready to go to sea. It seems that King Yan is really leaving."

"The departure of King Yan from our Ming Dynasty must be a loss to our Ming Dynasty!"

"I still want to see King Yan severely punish corruption!"

…

After the people heard about it, they talked a lot.

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong clenched his fists, sneered on his yin and yang face, and just said a good word.

After Lu Ben heard this, he felt as if he had eaten a fly.

Calling Ye Mao a waste!

Towards evening, the entire Jinling, after the initial shock, began to have an undercurrent.

Hall of Beauty.

Beauty Wang, with her big belly, helped Zhu Biao take off his clothes while pretending to be curious and asked: "Prince, there are firecrackers coming from Jinling City from time to time today. I heard that King Yan won another battle?"

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Well, this is our Ming Dynasty's biggest victory against the Japanese pirates. Moreover, this time, Lao Si used many new tactics."

"Can Prince Wei Shu follow suit?" Wang Meiren watched eagerly.

Zhu Silang has it.

The prince must have it too!
