Chapter 389: Victory! Sending Help From Thousands of Miles Away!

On the open ground.

There is one mark for the Army's First Town and two marks for the Imperial New Army, standing in formation five hundred steps apart.

Xu Da led the members of the judging panel and shuttled between the arrays of both sides to ensure that there was no one on either side carrying lethal weapons, while repeatedly emphasizing the rules of confrontation.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The civil servants were the first to lose their composure.

"The headcount ratio is two to one. The imperial court is still a battle-hardened veteran. This should be a sure win, right?"

"If I can't win, if I were these Qiu Ba, I would hang myself!"

"Qiu Ba's face is rough and thick!"

…

Whispers filled with indignation alarmed the generals.

After hearing this, Geng Bingwen, Tang He, Lan Yu and others glanced towards the official direction.

All the generals rarely spoke.

In terms of being thick-skinned and shameless, they are not as good as these rotten scholars.

However, at this moment, the general was not in the mood to argue with the civilian officials, and was more concerned about the upcoming close combat.

They are all wondering what tactics the Army's First Town will adopt.

The morale of both sides is about the same.

Starting from the inspection of Jinling City, Army No. 1 Town performed continuously and brilliantly, up and down, and never allowed itself to be defeated in the final stage.

The new troops in the Beijing Camp and the Prince's Guards also held their breath, trying to regain their face.

The imperial court had a numerical advantage, and the soldiers were veterans who had experienced many battles.

After reviewing and attacking Lishui County in the Army's First Town, it has been proven that this new army, which is almost entirely composed of new recruits, is incredibly solid in terms of training.

But their numerical disadvantage is too big!

…

Zhu Yuanzhang looked away and waved to Zhu Di, "Fourth."

Zhu Di was standing with a group of brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu, laughing and chatting in a low voice. Hearing the sound, he hurriedly ended the conversation and walked away quickly.

The civil and military officials all looked curiously.

"Father, what are your orders?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di with a smile, "Aren't you worried about losing?"

Preparation Phase.

The fourth child immediately became the hands-off shopkeeper.

Tactical arrangements are completely left to young people such as Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu, and Zhou Lang.

He admitted that these seedlings who followed Lao Si from the grassland to fight in triumph were indeed outstanding.

But he was promoted too quickly.

Let’s talk about Tan Yuan.

After returning from the grassland, he was promoted to a young general who led an army of five hundred.

Over the years, he followed Lao Si to Jilong Island and was quickly promoted to a command-level officer commanding more than 10,000 troops.

Zhang Wu, the associate leader, and the first bidder, Biaotong, had lower official positions in the past.

It can be said that Laosi Army No. 1 Town does not have the bad habits of the old army generals of the imperial court.

To a large extent, it was because generals such as Tan Yuan and Zhang Wu were too low-level before and had not yet developed those bad habits.

This is an advantage for the first town of the army. It completely follows the design of Laosi, trains to the letter, and organizes it into an army.

But for real actual combat, I'm afraid it's a disadvantage!

"If it were you who were in charge, how do you think we could fight with such an obvious numerical disadvantage to find a chance to win?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, more people looked at Zhu Di.

Lan Yu stepped out of the queue, cupped her fists at Zhu Di and said, "King Yan, tell everyone, how would you fight if you were commanding the army's number one target?"

"Fourth brother, tell us."

"Fourth brother, tell everyone."

…

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!" The generals bowed in unison.

"Mr. Han Han, why are Lan Yu and the others acting like this? Are they taking the exam for Prince Yan?"

Li Shanchang turned his head and looked at his fellow civil servants who were asking. When he saw others looking at him, he explained in a low voice: "It's not a school entrance examination."

As he spoke, Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Di.

Does this person still need to take the exam?

Traveling across the grasslands and fighting thousands of miles away, this king's military talent has been proven.

"They want to know King Yan's ability to train generals..."

Tan Yuan and others must have accepted Zhu Silang's training.

Let’s first listen to how Zhu Silang directed this confrontation drill.

According to Zhu Silang's idea, let's see how the generals led by Zhang Wu, the first standard in the army's first town, fight, and compare and verify with each other.

If so, in the next confrontation.

The tactics used in the Army's first town and the first standard coincide more closely with Zhu Di's idea.

Regardless of final victory or defeat.

It can all be proved that these young generals in the Army's First Town have a high degree of understanding and practical application of Zhu Di's military thoughts.

The civil servants, who were unaware of the generals' intentions, suddenly realized what they were saying and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "Father, if I am commanded by my son, I will first allocate about 800 troops to entangle Qu Nengbiao, concentrate the superior forces, and attack Chang Maobiao..."

"Your Majesty, is it because Chang Mao is a member of the Crown Prince's guard?" Lu Ben suddenly asked loudly.

Everyone's expressions changed.

Lu Ben almost openly questioned that Zhu Silang deliberately targeted the prince!

Zhu Di frowned slightly.

He glanced at Zhu Biao, then shook his head with a smile, "Master Lu, what soldiers pursue on the battlefield is victory or defeat. The reason why they concentrated their superior forces to attack Chang Maobiao was not because Chang Mao was a general led by the Prince Guard, but because, relatively speaking, I know Chang Mao better than Qu Neng..."

"Chang Mao is an extremely emotional general. As long as I anger him, I may disrupt Chang Maobiao's rhythm."

"In order to disrupt Changmaobiao's rhythm as quickly as possible, I will try to pick on the captains and team officers in Changmaobiao as soon as the two armies collide. The new army of the imperial court still has a strong color of the old army. Although the confrontation has not yet begun, I have reason to guess that both the Prince's Guard and the new army of the imperial court have not trained the low-level generals such as the platoon leaders and the tent leaders at the bottom..."

"Without the command of the captain and team officers, I have reason to judge that the platoon leaders and the tent leaders in the new army of the imperial court cannot take on the responsibility of cooperating with each other and making more appropriate tactical decisions on the battlefield. The entire Changmaobiao will inevitably become a mess..."

...

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked bitter.

It undoubtedly proved that the fourth brother's tactical arrangement was very reasonable.

It directly hit the soft spot of the new army of the imperial court.

"Once the rhythm of the new army in the Beijing camp is disrupted, I will give orders to entangle Qu Nengbiao's brothers, relax the fighting, control the rhythm, keep Qu Nengbiao, and divide the troops to rescue Chang Maobiao who is retreating step by step. Once this part of the reinforcement rushes into Chang Maobiao's chaos, their rhythm will definitely be affected by Chang Maobiao..."

...

"In short, the most critical point of this battle is to make the new army of the court fall into chaos. The more chaotic the better. The more chaotic it is, the more difficult it will be to command and dispatch the new army of the court. The first town of our army can rely on the good tactical adaptability of low-level generals such as platoon leaders and tent commanders to establish advantages in chaos!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

The fourth brother said it very clearly.

The court has an advantage in military strength.

But the fourth brother believes that the new army of the court also has very obvious weaknesses.

That is, the platoon leaders and tent commanders at the bottom level have lost the guidance of higher-level generals and have weak tactical adaptability.

From the expressions of Lan Yu and Mu Ying, this has also been confirmed.

Disrupt the rhythm of the court and pull the court into an area that it is not good at.

And this area is exactly what the First Army Town is best at.

In the area that it is best at, offset the military advantage of the court's new army.

However, this kind of war rhythm is not something that ordinary people can grasp.

Let's not talk about anything else.

When Chang Maobiao is completely confused, shrink the intensity of the fight against Qu Nengbiao, continue to release Qu Nengbiao's forces, and gradually reinforce Chang Mao.

This process is a great test of the ability of the commanding generals.

Since the fourth brother dared to propose this tactic.

The fourth brother must have this ability.

But do Zhang Wu and others have it?

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

A judge trotted over, and after approaching, he saluted and reported: "Your Majesty, the inspection has been completed. Duke Wei asks if we should start the confrontation immediately?"

After listening to Zhu Di's idea, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait and immediately gave a clear order, "Start!"

Dong-dong-dong...

The sound of war drums sounded at the edge of the broad land.

"Come on, First Town!"

"The First Town of the Yan King's Army, the strongest army in the world, come on!"

...

The people of Lishui County who were watching from afar outside shouted and cheered for the First Town of the Army when the drums sounded.

When the officials heard this, many of them looked embarrassed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction of the people, and then shifted his gaze to Zhu Di, "The people of Lishui have high hopes for you and your First Town of the Army!"

He was not surprised by this.

The local villages and communities made Lao Si have a great influence in the Ming Dynasty.

The people are very grateful to Lao Si.

And Lishui is one of the thirteen counties in Zhili that have been fully built into local villages and communities.

In addition, yesterday, the First Town of the Army successfully seized Lishui.

It is not difficult to understand that the people today ignored the new army of the court and cheered for the First Town of the Army.

Zhu Di smiled low-key.

He did not want to show off this.

He did not even want the people to do this.

But the people were simple and could not see his difficulties.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and glanced at Zhu Di, without saying anything, and looked towards the wide land.

…

Xu Da waved the flag fiercely.

He turned his horse and rode away from the two armies.

“Kill!”

Chang Mao raised his wooden stick fiercely and shouted: “Tell these new recruits what a real war is!”

“Kill!”

Two battalions, four thousand people, shouting and killing loudly.

“Brothers, tell these old soldiers what a real new army is!”

Zhang Wu was not to be outdone.

The prince said that when fighting on the battlefield, you must dare to show your sword!

“Kill!”

The two sides, three battalions, raised wooden sticks and rushed and collided with each other under the gaze of countless eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying could not sit still.

Slowly got up.

Just as Zhu Di said.

At the moment of collision, the first battalion of Sun Yuanchu’s first battalion quickly rushed towards Qu Neng.

They formed a formation to entangle one of Qu Neng’s commanders.

The two battalions under the command of Zhang Wu directly formed a triangle formation and rushed towards the heart of Chang Maobiao's formation.

It was clear that they wanted to break through Chang Maobiao's formation and create chaos.

Zhu Biao stared at the dynamic changes on the field and pursed his lips slightly.

The fourth brother said that the low-level generals such as platoon leaders and tent commanders in the new army of the court were not good at tactical response.

He didn't believe it!

These soldiers were promoted from veterans with rich combat experience.

Even during training, the middle and senior generals lacked the training and teaching of these low-level generals.

But these veterans have rich practical experience.

In terms of keen judgment on the battlefield.

At least they can be on par with these new recruits in the first town of the fourth brother's army, right?

…

"Kill!"

Chang Mao approached Zhang Wu, roared, held the 'wooden gun' in both hands, and stabbed Zhang Wu fiercely with a ferocious face.

Zhang Wu was not flustered at all, and strictly followed the military stabbing technique, waving the 'wooden gun' to block.

Just as Zhang Wu pushed Chang Mao's extremely powerful stab to the left.

Behind Zhang Wu, five soldiers who followed closely, very skillfully, stabbed Chang Mao's armpits, chest, and abdomen.

Chang Mao's face suddenly changed.

It was too late to block.

He stepped back suddenly, knocking down several of his own soldiers in succession, and barely stopped.

Zhang Wu glanced at Chang Mao, a smile flashed at the corner of his lips, and then he led the soldiers to continue rushing forward.

...

Zhu Biao's face gradually became embarrassed.

It was visible to the naked eye.

As the three captains were hit in the chest by the first flag, unwilling to withdraw from the battle, Chang Mao Biao really began to panic as the fourth brother guessed.

Zhang Wu led the first battalion of two battalions of soldiers. Zhang Wu did not give any orders, but took the initiative to divide them into several attack arrows and continued to attack. The prince's guards who still maintained the formation, one team after another.

"Come to my side! Come to my side!"

"Here, here we need support!"

...

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at the surviving officers of Chang Mao Biao, leading dozens of people, shouting desperately, trying to gather the scattered tents and platoons.

But every time the shouting sounded.

There are always several tents in the first battalion of the first town of the army, and they rush forward tacitly without orders.

The little force that several officers had just gathered was dispersed and extinguished in an instant.

The first town of the army cooperated very skillfully.

When the tents were killed in battle, the soldiers would go nearby and quickly merge into other tents.

They could always maintain a group of five or six people.

When they encountered the prince's guards who were killed and scattered and left alone.

A tent, like a wolf pack, rushed forward fiercely.

Two people took the lead in launching the attack, and when the prince's guards led the soldiers to block.

The remaining three people would take advantage of the opportunity when the prince's guards were busy blocking and exposed their flaws, and stab the prince's guards with their "wooden guns".

The prince's guards were veterans who had been through many battles, had rich combat experience, and were very brave.

It was always like this, and they were stabbed in the vitals and withdrew from the battle.

"Chang Maobiao is finished, and he can't be organized!" Mu Ying whispered in a low voice, his face was not good.

From the collision of the two armies to Chang Maobiao being messed up, it took less than an incense stick of time!

Use chaos to attack chaos.

The cooperation of the first town of the army is too skillful.

Now, the prince's guards have completely forgotten the battlefield cooperation and returned to the old army era, which is good at and accustomed to personal bravery.

But the army they are fighting now is not an old army.

It is a new army that has mastered advanced bayonet fighting techniques. The tents, platoons, and teams are very skilled in cooperation.

It can be combined and dispersed at any time to fight in coordination.

Personal bravery is useless in this advanced coordinated combat.

Lan Yu nodded, "Have you noticed that compared with the battle between the First Battalion and the Chen Family New Army in Palawan Island, this time, the First Town of the Army has a higher degree of cooperation and fights more tricky!"

Facts have proved it.

Zhang Wu and his group of generals who have never served in senior positions in the Ming Army have been trained very well by Zhu Laosi.

The development of the entire battle situation is almost in accordance with Zhu Laosi's idea.

...

"Qu Neng! What are you doing!"

Qu Neng heard Chang Mao's angry shout, frowned slightly, hesitated slightly, and glanced at Sun Yuanchu who was hiding behind.

This kid led a battalion to pounce on him and wanted to "kill" him as soon as possible.

He had to admit it.

The Yan Wang New Army has a good bayonet fighting coordination.

But Sun Yuanchu is too weak after all.

After he was almost killed by him.

Sun Yuanchu was honest and gave up the plan to fight him.

At this moment, the first battalion had been surrounded by his one battalion, more than 2,000 people, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely strangled.

But the prince's guards were about to give up.

Ignore the prince's guards?

Do your best to strangle the first battalion, and then have a final battle with the remaining troops of the first battalion?

This is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

The prince's guards are completely in chaos.

If he sends troops to rush in, it will be disrupted by the prince's guards fighting on their own, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Don't send troops to reinforce Chang Mao.

Will Chang Mao hold a grudge against him?

The prince's guards completely lost the war, even if he led his troops to defeat the first battalion.

Win the final victory.

He won militarily, but lost completely politically!

After all, the victory he achieved on behalf of the new army of the Beijing Camp will only make the prince's guards more embarrassed!

Some people may even accuse him of sacrificing the prince's guards for his own victory.

'What should I do! '

Qu Neng was struggling.

"Charge! Speed ​​up the attack. Two thousand people are surrounding and killing a battalion. What are you doing!"

Qu Neng angrily urged.

He didn't want to give up. He wanted to try to concentrate his superior forces and defeat the first battalion before Zhang Wu defeated Chang Mao.

...

Zhu Yu smiled and whispered, "Qu Neng is anxious. Fourth brother, can Sun Yuanchu's first battalion hold on? If it holds on, do you think Qu Neng will send troops to support Chang Mao?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at Sun Yuanchu's first battalion, who was surrounded by Qu Nengbiao and constantly squeezing the space, and said confidently: "The overall quality of Sun Yuanchu's first battalion is very balanced, and there are no ones that stretch the crotch too much, and there are no ones that are too top-notch. If this battalion is used for charging and breaking formations, it is not the best choice. However, this battalion has a balanced quality and strong tenacity. Qu Neng has three times the number of troops as the first battalion, but it will probably take a lot of effort to defeat this battalion. A little effort.”

Everyone understood instantly.

Zhu Di said it politely.

But everyone understood it.

Zhu Di was very optimistic about this camp and thought it could hold up.

Zhu Di looked at Qu Neng from a distance and continued: "As for whether Qu Neng will divide his troops to support Chang Mao at Chang Mao's urging, it depends on whether Qu Neng is a pure general."

He thinks not!

Qu Neng was a second-generation descendant from a martial arts family.

Even with excellent military talents.

I have been exposed to politics since childhood.

At this moment, I am afraid that I am also weighing the political gains and losses of not supporting Chang Mao.

History also proves this.

Qu Neng followed Li Jinglong to attack Peiping.

At one time, they had already invaded Beiping Wengcheng.

Take the outer city of Peiping.

The city of Peiping was destroyed in just a matter of seconds.

In history, at that moment, Miao Yun, Gao Chi, and Gao Xu lived and died only in the blink of an eye.

But Qu Neng finally chose to withdraw his troops under Li Jinglong's strict order.

In fact, even if Qu Neng had insufficient troops at that time, he could not fight together to conquer the Wengcheng of Beiping.

You can also occupy the outer city and refuse to retreat, forcing Li Jinglong to increase his troops.

Li Jinglong also had to consider that things were getting serious.

Unfortunately, Qu Neng asked for reinforcements several times, but failed, and then chose to retreat under Li Jinglong's strict order.

After all.

Qu Neng was worried about offending Li Jinglong.

At that time, it was more about political considerations than military considerations.

He was worried that even if Peking was conquered and Li Jinglong hated him, there would be no good consequences in the future, resulting in a military victory and a complete political defeat.

Throughout the ages, such examples abound.

Although Zhu Di didn't express his thoughts.

But everyone understood it.

They all looked at Qu Neng.

I want to see whether Qu Neng, the son of Qu Tong, is a pure general, or whether he thinks more about politics.

…

"Qu Neng, hurry up and send reinforcements. Do you want to watch the entire army of the Prince's Guard be annihilated?"

Chang Mao led a dozen soldiers to deal with the siege of dozens of Zhang Wu men, shouting threats in the direction of Qu Neng.

Qu Neng kept a close eye on the already shaky first battalion in the middle of the siege. Two more sticks of incense... No, give him one more stick of incense and he can defeat the first battalion.

But if we don’t save the prince’s guard and lead his entire army, we will lose our face and lose face. In the future...

Qu Neng clenched his fist tightly.

Close your eyes.

It opened again instantly.

"Quick! Speed ​​up the attack!" With a shout, Qu Neng rushed directly into the battle.

He wanted to truly compete with the strongest army in the world.

As for Chang Mao, and even the grudges of the prince family, we will talk about it later.

This opportunity to compete with King Yan's new army was so rare that he didn't want to give it up!

Sun Yuanchu was slightly stunned when he saw that Qu Neng ignored Chang Mao and chose to annihilate his whole battalion. Then a smile appeared on his lips, "Brothers, hold on! The Xie Tong will defeat the crown prince's guard in no time!"

Zhang Wu was secretly surprised when he noticed Qu Neng's choice.

Started to speed up the encirclement and suppression of the prince's guards.

…

In the distance, Zhu Di was slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on his lips and he was relieved.

Qu Neng is still young now.

Being young is more pure.

Perhaps, in history, there are other details about the attack on Peking that are not recorded in historical materials.

Anyway, he appreciates Qu's ability to make this choice.

General, the highest pursuit is victory.

Now dividing the troops to rescue Chang Maobiao is obviously a political choice regardless of military affairs.

If his army's first town is the enemy in Beiyuan.

Qu Nengruo rescued Chang Mao for political considerations and gave up a possible victory.

It’s a crime against the country!

Discrediting the identity of the general!

Zhu Di whispered: "Father, eldest brother, if Qu Neng can maintain this kind of purity, he can be well cultivated. There should be more generals in the court who are pure generals who do not consider their own political interests."

"Your Majesty, I agree!" Lan Yu stood up and joined Zhu Di.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao nodded imperceptibly.

Qu Tong stood behind and glanced at Zhu Di gratefully.

The prince expressed his support for King Yan's words.

The prince's family did not dare to target Qu Neng too much because Qu Neng sacrificed the prince's guard rate today.

King Yan recommended his eldest son to the prince.

And there is also the accompanying sapphire.

Whether in the heart of His Majesty or the heart of the Prince, the influence is of great importance.

…

"Collapsed! Chang Mao collapsed!"

At this moment, someone shouted.

Everyone's attention shifted to the 'battlefield'.

I saw that Chang Mao was stabbed in the chest many times by a wooden blunderbuss during Zhang Wu's siege, and he continued to 'fight' shamelessly several times.

The judge team directly sent someone to order them to withdraw from the battle.

Chang Maobiao, who was already in chaos and lost two-thirds of his personnel, was directly declared defeated by the judging panel following Chang Mao's death.

Zhang Wu led more than 900 remaining soldiers and attacked Qu Nengbiao.

The besieged Sun Yuanchu camp saw Zhang Wu rushing towards him, and immediately gave the order to move towards each other.

The two troops defeated the encirclement and after reuniting, Zhang Wu did not retreat outside the encirclement.

Instead, they rushed in through the gap that had been opened.

Before Qu Neng adjusted his formation, they rushed and attacked fiercely, relying on their local superiority in force to break through the other side of the encirclement, and directly cut off Qu Neng's encirclement.

Qu Neng's formation gradually became chaotic.

Three more incense sticks of time passed.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qu Neng's group, who was still holding on but had already become a mess, and ordered: "Sound the gong to end it."

Now, Qu Neng's group was entirely supported by Qu Neng alone.

Several captains had been "killed in action".

More and more team officers were "killed" and withdrew from the battle.

The coordination between the tents and platoons was no different from that after Chang Mao's group was in chaos.

Only before the first group, many people were lost in the battle.

Qu Neng was able to continue to persist.

But it was no longer necessary.

The ultimate goal of the confrontation exercise was to find out the gap between the new army of the court and the old fourth new army.

Everything that should be exposed was also exposed.

Dong Dong Dong...

The drum sounded to end it.

The shouts and cries of killing gradually subsided.

Everyone slowly put down their "wooden guns" and looked at the opponents who had just fought hard.

A group of veterans looked at the new recruits of the First Army Town, and their eyes changed.

Became serious.

Qu Neng walked up to Zhang Wu and bowed with a smile, "We lost, and we lost with conviction!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Wu deeply with envy.

When he heard about Zhang Wu.

It was the Queen who betrothed Miss Mingxia to Zhang Wu.

At that time, countless people secretly beat their chests and cursed that Zhang Wu was lucky.

Even his father envied him.

After all, Miss Mingxia was the Queen's personal maid.

Let alone this identity relationship.

Even if she followed the Queen and was taught by the Queen, her abilities were valued by these officials and nobles.

The ladies of ordinary gentry families.

Even the ladies of officials.

Their knowledge and abilities may not be comparable to Mingxia.

Such a woman was married to an unknown little person by His Majesty and the Queen.

Is it because this little person has a good relationship with the Prince of Yan?

There are many jealous and dissatisfied people in the court.

But today, the facts prove that His Majesty and the Queen have a good eye for talent!

Zhang Wu's personal bravery may not be as good as his.

But under the guidance of the Prince of Yan, his training and command abilities are not inferior to his!

At least, the first regiment of the army was trained by people like Tan Yuan and Zhang Wu, who cooperated and assisted the Prince of Yan.

He also participated in the training of the new army of the court.

But it is obviously not as good as the first regiment of the army.

He envied Zhang Wu very much for being taught by the Prince of Yan.

Zhang Wu smiled and clasped his fists, "Qu Biaotong is also very strong. Before the confrontation, we all analyzed that as long as we beat Chang Mao so hard that he couldn't bear it, Qu Biaotong would definitely support Chang Mao for his own future political interests. After all, this is just a confrontation exercise. Compared with future political interests, even if we support Chang Mao and lead to defeat, we can win the favor of the entire prince's family. But the facts have proved that we made a wrong judgment, otherwise the battle would not be so difficult. If we continue to fight, it is still unknown who will win or lose."

...

"The prince often tells us that if a general wants to become a famous general, he must be pure!"

Qu Neng was slightly stunned.

Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If he was not really reluctant, this rare opportunity to compete with the first town of the army.

Find out his own shortcomings.

He will definitely choose to support Chang Mao for future political interests.

Qu Neng put away his thoughts and said solemnly: "The prince is right, and I will remember what the prince said."

If he doesn't correct it.

I'm afraid that when I see Zhang Wu again in the future, I can only look up to him!

The Prince of Yan was not his target for comparison.

But the generals trained by the Prince of Yan, such as Tan Yuan and Zhang Wu, were the targets he wanted to catch up with and compare with.

"Your Majesty summons three battalions, generals above the rank of team officer!"

At this moment, the order came.

Qu Neng, Zhang Wu and others hurried to the front of the imperial carriage.

Soon, a group of generals stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhang Wu and said with a smile: "When I first met you, you were still a general flag, right? Now you have become an assistant commander, and your performance today is even more outstanding. It is worth it that we betrothed Mingxia to you. Now, you are worthy of Mingxia!"

Zhang Wu glanced in the direction of Mingxia standing beside Ma Xiuying.

He knelt on one knee, saluted, and said in a sonorous voice: "Zhang Wu will always remember the kindness of your majesty and the queen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "Get up, follow our fourth brother and work hard!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shifted to Qu Neng, Chang Mao and others, "What do you want to say about this battle?"

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Qu Neng for not cooperating on the battlefield for personal attention..."

Hmph!

Before Chang Mao finished his angry impeachment, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted heavily, "Do you know that Zhang Wu and others are waiting for Qu Neng to divide his troops to support you, so that the supporting troops will fall into the chaos of your battalion, and then rely on their flexible cooperation between tents and platoons to annihilate you!"

Chang Mao lowered his head and dared not breathe.

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to pay attention, and pointed to a team officer in the Prince's Guard, "Tell me about your feelings on the battlefield when facing the first battalion of the first town of the army!"

The team officer hesitated and looked at Lan Yu.

Lan Yu stared at him, "Tell me the truth! Just say what you feel!"

At this time, if they still try to hide their feelings, the Prince's Guards and even the entire new imperial army will not be able to correct their shortcomings.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the First Army is very tricky. They have fewer troops than us, but I feel that no matter where we rush to the battlefield, the soldiers of the First Army have more troops than us. The further we go, the more suffocating we feel..."

Everyone listened quietly.

The feelings of the lower-level generals.

More intuitive, giving people a greater impact.

Qu Neng listened silently and sighed secretly.

The reason is that although our own troops have an advantage.

But I always feel that the First Army has a greater advantage in troops.

Suffocated for this.

In the final analysis, it is still on the battlefield that the First Army has a very good coordination with the shed platoon at the bottom.

After the team officer finished speaking.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked around at the generals present. "The court has been training the new army for several years. The soldiers are walking on gravel roads. You should not walk if you can. The military tactics and drills are to be passed on to the lower-level generals. You are so high up that you think that the lower-level generals are not worthy of learning if they can't figure it out by themselves..." Zhu Yuanzhang began to list the bad habits in the army. ... "After watching the performance of the First Army Town today, do you still think that the lower-level generals are not worthy of learning? If they can't learn, you won't be able to win in the future! Without merit, why should you be rewarded for your merits? Not to mention being rewarded, you may die on the battlefield!" ... The new army of the court inherited some bad habits from the old army. Zhu Yuanzhang actually knew it all along. He just couldn't find a chance to attack. He knew very well that if there hadn't been this disastrous defeat, these bastards wouldn't listen even if they were taught face to face. He had been waiting for this opportunity. The fourth brother really lived up to his expectations. The First Army Town gave these bastards a wake-up call. All the generals lowered their heads and dared not to argue.

After a long time.

When Xu Da led the judging panel to come over, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and asked: "Tian De, what is the final result of the judgment?"

Xu Da came over and handed the judgment result to Zhu Yuanzhang, and reported: "Your Majesty, the first battalion of the first regiment of the army still has 1,083 people who can fight."

"The prince's guard led Chang Mao's battalion, and the whole battalion was defeated."

"The new army of the Beijing camp, Qu Neng's battalion, according to statistics, still has 1,345 people who can fight."

...

"Hiss!"

"Impossible, the number of survivors in the first battalion is almost one to one with the new army of the Beijing camp?"

...

The sound of sucking in cold air and the sound of discussion sounded from the ministers.

Many people are questioning whether Xu Da favors his son-in-law Zhu Di.

Xu Da doesn't bother to pay attention to the doubts.

He is partial.

But he favors the prince's guard.

Chang Maobiao lost two-thirds of his troops in the battle, and he did not judge the Prince's Guard to have been defeated until Chang Mao was "killed".

According to battlefield experience.

Chang Maobiao's "battle losses" were at most 50%, which could be considered a defeat.

"Your Majesty, after discussion by the judging panel, it was unanimously agreed that even if the battle continued, Qu Nengbiao would definitely lose, so in the confrontation exercise, the first regiment of the army won!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at the Prince's Guard and the generals of the Beijing Camp New Army, "Are you convinced by this judgment?"

Qu Neng immediately raised his head, "I am convinced!"

"I am convinced!"

"Your Majesty, I am convinced of my defeat!"

...

Other generals expressed their opinions one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and looked at Qu Neng deeply.

The fourth brother was right, Qu Neng was worth training.

Biao'er's subordinates could not rely solely on Lan Yu and Mu Ying, but also had to train some younger and outstanding generals.

Then he looked at Xu Da, "Tian De, go and announce the result!"

"We won!"

"We won!"

...

After Xu Da read out the final result, the soldiers of the First Army Town shouted excitedly.

Some threw their flying saucer hats high up.

Some hugged their comrades and shouted excitedly.

He did not disappoint the prince's high hopes!

He made the prince proud!

From now on, who in the court dares to let the prince suffer grievances for no reason!

No!

Confrontation drills are not enough.

Brothers, we must prove on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition that the prince's First Army Town is worthy of the title of the strongest army in the world!

The people of Lishui County cheered and shouted the strongest soldiers in the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered the First Army Town to protect the emperor.

Guard the emperor and return to Jinling in a mighty manner.

The emperor has not arrived yet.

The news has been passed back to Jinling.

"Have you heard that the First Regiment of the Prince of Yan's Army won the first and second stages respectively."

"This is a great victory!"

"The First Regiment of the Army is the most powerful army in the world!"

"I have begun to look forward to the First Regiment of the Army making a big splash in the Northern Expedition, just like the prince roaming the grasslands in the past!"

...

Accompanied by several followers of the Fujian Provincial Government, Ye Mao entered Jinling City in a low-key manner.

Listening to the excited discussions of the people.

The confidant behind him said excitedly: "Dong Weng, our First Regiment of the Army has won a great victory!"

Ye Mao smiled, turned his head and looked at the excited expressions of the people who accompanied him, and said with a smile: "We came just in time. At this time, the achievements of our Fujian construction this year are revealed, which is a great victory for the prince. Congratulations!"

He is confident that this year, the whole world will be shocked by Fujian!

"Sir, where are we going? As usual, we will go to the East Palace to wait for the prince to come back and report?" someone asked.

Ye Mao smiled and shook his head, "The princess has given birth, let's go see the emperor's grandson first." Although he is now the governor of Fujian. But His Majesty has already made it clear.

In the future, let him follow the King of Yan.

He is loyal to the King of Yan.

It is okay that the King of Yan was not in Jinling when he returned to the court in the past few years.

This year, the prince is in Jinling.

And the princess gave birth to a child for the prince.

He will definitely visit the princess first.

As for what the prince family thinks.

It has nothing to do with him.

This time when he comes back, he will ask his old father to either sell his property or divide it all among his brothers, and persuade his old father to follow him south.

Set up the family in Dongfan.

Prepare to leave the Ming Dynasty.

…

"Master's wife, Master's wife..."

In the bedroom.

When Xu Miaoyun was chatting with Wu Yunqige, Chunxiao's excited shout came from outside.

A moment later, Chunxiao ran in with Geng Xuan, blushing and panting.

Geng Xuan smiled brightly and reported the good news, "Master's wife, the first town of the army won a big victory, and the master won!"

…

Xu Miaoyun was fine.

Wu Yunqige opened her mouth slightly in shock after hearing Geng Xuan's story.

She felt a small hand scratching her lips, and then she came back to her senses.

Looking at Jin Douzi in her arms, she couldn't help but laugh, 'Grow up quickly, your aunt will teach you to ride a horse, and you will surpass your father in the future. Remember, you must often make him angry and vent your anger for your aunt! '

Xu Miaoyun didn't know what little calculations were in the mind of Jin Douzi, the unreliable aunt.

She smiled and glared at Geng Xuan, "You are in the army, how did you come back early? Your brother-in-law is very strict in managing the army."

"Sister, I came back to report to you just because I asked my brother-in-law." Geng Xuan smiled.

In order to get this opportunity.

Poor him, he promised several months of military pay to Xu Zengshou and Xu Yingxu, two bastards, and agreed to treat them to a drink.

So that the two of them didn't compete with him for this opportunity.

You know, he now relies on military pay to support himself and Chunxiao.

…

It was getting close to evening.

Zhu Di arrived in Jinling with the emperor.

He brought the children to Zhuzi Lane.

He saw Yong Ming and Qi Huan standing outside the gate waiting from a distance.

“Dad!”

Little Qi Huan shouted happily, and couldn’t wait to walk down the steps with her short legs…

Zhu Di slightly squeezed his legs, and Xiao Hei understood and sped up.

When he got closer.

Zhu Di turned over and got off the horse.

He picked up little Qi Huan, “Do you miss Dad?”

“Yes, I couldn’t sleep yesterday because Dad didn’t come to see me at night!”

Zhu Di smiled and glared at her. This little girl has been sweet-mouthed since she was a child.

She is especially good at saying things that make him happy.

“Dad, Mom found a very beautiful aunt for Jin Douzi and us!”

Little Qi Huan leaned close to Zhu Di’s ear and complained in a low voice.

Zhu Di was slightly stunned, "Who?"

"It's Aunt Wuyun who lives in our house. Our Jindouzi likes this aunt very much. When Aunt Wuyun hugs him, he smiles foolishly."

A black line flashed across Zhu Di's forehead.

He didn't need to think, he could guess what Miaoyun wanted to do.

Women in this era are really silly and cute.

The father and daughter whispered to each other and came to the door of the house. Little Yongming bowed solemnly, "Dad."

Zhu Di smiled and picked up the little guy.

Little Yongming immediately smiled reservedly, stretched out his arms to hug Zhu Di's neck, climbed on Zhu Di's other shoulder, and first looked to see if Xiao Qihuan was not unhappy, then smiled reservedly: "Dad, Lord Ye Mao has returned to the court, and mother arranged for Lord Ye to stay in the house."

Ye Mao is back?

Zhu Di was slightly surprised.

He handed Xiao Qihuan to Dongxu and the others, and took Yongming to see Ye Mao.

...

At the same time.

Donggong.

Zhu Biao returned with Zhu Xiongying.

Just got off the carriage.

Ji Gang hurried over and whispered, "Prince, Fujian Governor Ye Mao returned to the court and went to the Prince of Yan's Zhu Mansion first. He has already settled down in Zhu Mansion."

After that, Ji Gang glanced at Zhu Xiongying standing next to him with his hands in his military uniform pockets.

At the same time, he observed the subtle expression on Zhu Biao's face.

The prince must be in a bad mood, right?

After all, the prince's guards lost too badly.

...

Jiang Yu made him fully responsible for the Fujian and Dongfan Jinyiwei systems.

Many times, Jiang Yu had to report to His Majesty first about the news from Fujian.

Let him be responsible for the prince's side.

Over the years, he has been recognized by many people in the prince's faction.

The prince's faction hates him as a hawk dog.

But they also know that they can't do without him to keep an eye on Zhu Silang.

He is also half of the prince's faction.

Wait until the prince ascends the throne.

It's time for him to overthrow Jiang Yu and replace him!

"Got it." Zhu Biao nodded.

Ji Gang was slightly disappointed. He didn't see anything unusual on the prince's face.

...

Imperial Palace.

Imperial Study.

After hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Go to Zhu's Mansion to pass on the order, order Zhu Di and Ye Mao to attend the morning court tomorrow!"

...

The night was hazy.

The curfew began.

Soon, the news of Ye Mao's return to the court spread among the upper class of Jinling.

After hearing the news, Lu Ben's face instantly became very ugly.

Zhu Silang had just made a big splash in the review and confrontation exercises.

No, it started from Zhu Silang's return to the court, and 1,500 cannons sounded in the Qinhuai River.

Zhu Silang's voice was higher and higher.

...

Many people had speculated and discussed before that Fujian's tax revenue this year might have to go up a level!

Now Ye Mao is back on time again.

This is intentional!

‘Zhu Silang! The Northern Expedition is your death! Toghon Temur, the Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, will regard you as a thorn in his flesh when he knows that you have touched his princess! ’

‘Tomorrow! I will listen to what gift Fujian, which you rule, will send you tomorrow, and then I will go north and spread the news that you have touched Wuyunqige to the grassland! ’

Zhu Silang still wants prisoners from the Northern Expedition, and he will make Zhu Silang a prisoner!

It may be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, and they must not belong to Zhu Silang!

…

When the people of Jinling were still talking about the victory of the First Army Town, the upper echelons of Jinling were already discussing and speculating what results Ye Mao brought back this year.

This plot is finally finished. After a transition, the Northern Expedition will begin. There will be no procrastination in the middle. Thank you all for your support.
