Chapter 382 Zhu Xiongying Shows Off! (It Is Unreasonable to Not Return the Favor.

Chapter 382 Zhu Xiongying shows his cards! (Thank you for not giving back to the leader)

Inside the cabin.

The three brothers Xu Huizu, Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou are changing into new military uniforms.

Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu buckled the epaulettes on each other's shoulders.

"You two come and help me!" Xu Huizu scolded with a bad temper.

Looking at the epaulettes of the two, and then at his epaulettes.

Xu Zengshou smiled, "Brother, don't show off. You are just a non-staff member of our army. Brother-in-law just got you a new uniform to wear. Although you are higher than us, you are not a member of our army."

In order to join the army, they worked hard to develop the rural community.

When brother-in-law organized the first mixed brigade, he finally entered the army as he wished.

Through elimination and competition, he is now a shed master.

The lowest officer in the army.

Red background, a triangular star.

In brother-in-law's new army, the chief generals and deputy generals are easy to distinguish.

Just look at the epaulettes.

Those with bars on the epaulettes are deputy positions and technical positions in the army: deputy commander, deputy assistant commander, deputy standard commander, military staff and technical officers accompanying the army, such as craftsmen who repair muskets and artillery, doctors and veterinarians accompanying the army.

The golden epaulettes of my eldest brother, with a gold star and a golden bar, mean that my eldest brother is a second-level military officer at the standard commander level.

So far, there is only my eldest brother in the army who has this type of military officer.

Other military officers, technical officers, and deputy positions, whether at the assistant commander level or the standard commander level, all have two golden bars.

According to my brother-in-law's idea.

Those with one golden bar are non-staff personnel.

Sometimes, it is necessary to temporarily add some people to the army as deputies, and they wear this second-level military officer epaulette.

In short, all military personnel wearing this kind of epaulette with a golden bar have only the right to make suggestions in the army, not the right to command.

Xu Huizu smiled and glared at his two younger brothers, "Stop talking nonsense, I don't know these yet, put them on for me!"

He knew these things long ago.

Unlike Zengshou and Yingxu, he will definitely go home to inherit his father's title and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Therefore, his brother-in-law gave him a set of temporary epaulettes for non-staff personnel.

It is mainly convenient for the northern expedition, activities in the new army, and learning from his brother-in-law.

His brother-in-law is considering him.

If he really wears a set of formal epaulettes, it will probably be very troublesome in the future.

With so many Jinyiwei in the court, the new epaulette system of his brother-in-law may have been heard by His Majesty and the Crown Prince.

So, it's okay for him to wear this set.

...

In Zhu Di's cabin.

After Zhu Di helped Zhu Gaochi put on the small version of the military uniform, he began to change his own military uniform.

"Fourth uncle, let me help you put on the epaulettes." Zhu Xiongying also wore a small version of the new military uniform, with epaulettes on his shoulders, red background, gold edges, and a bar.

It shows that Zhu Xiongying is an ordinary soldier-level non-staff member in the new army.

The children practiced shooting in the army before, and they all wore this kind of military uniform.

Zhu Di smiled and handed Zhu Xiongying the gold shoulder strap with four gold stars.

After Zhu Xiongying helped Zhu Di put it on, he looked carefully, "Fourth uncle is mighty!"

It was the first time he saw his fourth uncle wearing a new military uniform. With his tall and upright figure, the split black work cloth military uniform and the golden shoulder straps set off.

Fourth uncle is very mighty!

When he can make the decision in the future.

He also ordered that the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty be changed to the style of the First Army.

In the firearms war.

The military uniform of the Ming Dynasty was too cumbersome, which seriously affected the actions of the soldiers.

Nowadays, the chain mail used by the First Army during combat has been cancelled.

It was changed to a lining made of more than twenty layers of silk and pressed with paper pulp.

It is light and does not affect the action.

Most importantly, the defense is not bad.

There have been paper armors in all dynasties since ancient times.

The Tang Dynasty even used paper armor on a large scale.

And the Fourth Uncle's new army added more than twenty layers of silk-pressed paper armor, which was even better than iron armor and chain mail in defending against musket shooting.

After the bullet hits, the layers of silk in the paper armor will dissipate the power of the bullet.

Within seventy or eighty steps.

Even a long-barreled musket can break the sternum, but it cannot penetrate the paper armor.

The bullet will remain in the paper armor.

The soldiers' sternum was broken at most, and it is easier to treat such injuries than bullets hitting the flesh.

Zhu Di smiled and rubbed Zhu Xiongying's head, teasing: "Do you want to show your cards when you go back this time? Say you like Cai Lu?"

This kid has secretly admired Cai Lu for these years, and he and Miaoyun have seen it.

Cai Lu, the heartless girl, may feel that the gap between the two sides is too big, although Xiongying always finds various ways to care.

But this heartless girl never thought about it in that way.

Even the children could see Xiongying's little tricks.

But Cailu, the heartless girl, was so thick-skinned that she didn't notice it at all.

Everyone was worried that this thing wouldn't work out in the end, so they saw it clearly but didn't point it out.

Even if it wouldn't work out in the future.

Xiongying was the only one who felt bad.

Cailu was not affected.

Cailu was a girl, and a girl from a humble family. She had the least say in this matter and was the most vulnerable.

Cailu was his and Miaoyun's student, and they certainly knew whether she was excellent or not.

But Cailu's family background was a problem.

He didn't know whether his father and elder brother could accept Cailu.

Since his father founded the country.

The wives of these princes were all daughters of nobles.

Historically, Zhu Yunwen's queen was also the daughter of Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan.

Xiongying is the future third generation successor of Ming Dynasty.

His choice for queen.

He, the fourth uncle, is not qualified to speak.

Moreover, he is a green picker, and due to his status, he is even more unable to express his opinion.

He supports it.

Others would say that he was trying to control Xiongying through his students.

"Brother, do you like Senior Sister Cailu?" Xiao Yongming seemed to have discovered a new world. He raised his head curiously and looked at Zhu Xiongying.

Then he looked at Zhu Di and said worriedly: "Dad, I also like Senior Sister Cailu, and I also like several other Senior Sisters..."

puff!

Zhu Di was instantly amused.

He glared angrily, "Your kind of liking is different from your elder brother's liking!"

You brat, a little over four years old, you know how to like it!

He just likes that his senior sisters often sneak in and give him delicious food.

It is also the case that children in this era mature prematurely.

The environment in which heroes live is more mature.

When Dongxu was eleven years old, his eighth uncle arranged a marriage for Dongxu.

Xiongying and Cailu studied and played together every day, so it was normal for them to have feelings for each other.

Xiongying was almost old enough for the old man to arrange a marriage for Xiongying.

This is why he wants to determine whether Xiongying has a showdown.

If that doesn't work, find a way to stop thinking about it while the children are still young.

Zhu Xiongying blushed slightly.

Unexpectedly, his fourth uncle saw through all his little thoughts.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Zhu Di solemnly, and said firmly: "Fourth uncle, I am going to have a showdown with the emperor and the others. I am determined to pick green. If they don't agree, then let someone else be the emperor." Grandson, my fourth uncle and I will go to sea..."

Zhu Di looked at the little guy. He was so determined and open-minded at such a young age.

I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

He nodded and said: "In this matter, because of my fourth uncle's status, I can't help you. You have to fight for it on your own."

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Of course he was aware of all the hostility the court had towards his fourth uncle.

His fourth uncle and fourth aunt have been teaching him.

When you return to court in the future, don't stand up for them because of these things.

If his fourth uncle supports him in winning over Senior Sister Cailing.

Those people in the court may have malicious thoughts in speculating on Fourth Uncle.

…

Zhu Xiongying followed Zhu Di back to the deck.

Tan Yuan and others, as well as the powerful men who followed, were all shocked when they saw Zhu Di wearing a new military uniform.

"Your Majesty, how do you feel? You are more powerful than us in your new military uniform!" Tan Yuan shouted, using a clever flattery.

Yu Jing, Zhang Wu and others stared at Tan Yuan.

No one expected that this big boss could flatter him so skillfully.

I stole what everyone wanted to say!

"What are you looking at? We are telling the truth!" Tan Yuan grinned.

Even if it is true, it is also flattery.

Zhu Di glared angrily, pointed forward, and ordered: "Yu Jing, give the order to lift anchor and enter the river!"

"Your Majesty's order! Weigh anchor and enter the river!"

Woohoo...

Shouts and trumpets sounded.

The flagship broke through the water first, splashing high waves, and went upstream into the inland rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

…

"Senior sister." Zhu Xiongying came to Cai Lu nervously and whispered softly.

Cai Lu turned around and looked at Zhu Xiongying, "What's wrong?"

"Senior sister, I have something to discuss with you alone."

…

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile when he watched Zhu Xiongying turn around and walk towards the stern of the ship with Cai Lu.

Yong Ming crawled into Zhu Di's arms and whispered: "Dad, are you whispering to your senior sister, just like you and your mother?"

Three black lines instantly appeared on Zhu Di's forehead.

Father's love, given too much?

…

stern.

Cai Lu looked at the jade pendant handed over by Zhu Xiongying and asked in shock, "What is this?"

Zhu Xiongying helplessly held his forehead.

Senior Sister Cailu is good at everything.

It's just too heartless and too neurotic.

He was really worried about whether Senior Sister Cailu could handle the intrigues in the palace.

However, the fourth uncle can protect the fourth aunt.

He certainly can too!

As for this jade pendant, it was made from leftover materials when the emperor's grandfather made jade seals.

His name is engraved on it.

In addition to this jade pendant, three bracelets were made from the remaining scraps.

One of them was originally for the fourth aunt.

Fourth aunt didn't want it.

Gave it to the second aunt.

Among the emperor's grandson, he is the only one who has this jade pendant.

His imperial grandfather had given it to him since he was born.

This jade pendant is his token.

"Sister, I want to give you this jade pendant. This jade pendant is..."

As Zhu Xiongying explained.

Cai Lu seemed to understand a little.

His face gradually turned red.

…

After a while, Zhu Xiongying returned to Zhu Di happily.

Zhu Di looked at the brat and snickered, and asked with a smile: "Have you made it clear to Cai Lu?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded with a reserved smile, "I forced the jade pendant my grandfather gave me to Senior Sister Cailu."

Zhu Di was stunned, smiled and gave a thumbs up!

"Did Cai Lu agree? Fourth uncle reminds you, you can't force me!"

"I agreed, I didn't force Senior Sister Cailu!"

"That's good." Zhu Di looked at the waves of the flagship splitting the water and reminded: "Then think carefully about how to show off with your imperial grandfather and the others after you go back. Don't just be happy."

Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

This chapter is too short to be long. It is time to arrange Zhu Xiongying's storyline. I will finish it in one go and return to the court tomorrow.
