Chapter 394: The People of the Ming Dynasty Are Divided, and the First Army Town Appears
Chapter 394 The people of the Ming Dynasty are not united, and the first army town appears on the grassland!
Nahachu walked out of the Khan's tent.
He looked up at the pale and powerless sun hanging in the sky.
The glory of the Mongols has declined to the extreme with the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the rise of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
His age.
Although he did not witness the most glorious Khuriltai Conference, when the Mongols crossed the east and the west.
But he also caught the tail of the Yuan Dynasty.
Childhood.
He witnessed the glory of the Yuan Dynasty's control of a vast territory.
In his youth, peasant uprisings began to appear in the Central Plains.
The center also began to be frequently turbulent due to power struggles.
In his middle age, peasant uprisings in the Central Plains were already everywhere, and he witnessed with his own eyes that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was a humble and insignificant figure who came from the mud legs.
He rose step by step.
Finally, he established himself in Nanjing and established the Ming Dynasty.
Then he launched a massive northern expedition under the slogan of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China".
He witnessed with his own eyes that the imperial court still occupied half of the northern part of the country.
Under the attack of the Ming Dynasty, it collapsed with a bang.
When evacuating Dadu, the panic and despair on everyone's face can still be vaguely seen even now.
Originally thought that after evacuating Dadu, they would arrive at the grassland and occupy the right time, right place and right people.
The imperial court could at least regroup.
Not to mention returning to the Central Plains.
At least with the help of the foundation left by their ancestors, they could compete with the new Central Plains dynasty.
But I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
The Ming Dynasty nibbled away step by step.
He was forced to give up the entire Liaodong, and now, the Ming Dynasty's troops were going to go deep into the grassland.
...
In recent years, Toghon Temur used the method of raising poisonous insects and cruel internal wars to awaken the blood and courage of the Mongols.
Cultivated a group of young wolf cubs.
This group of wolf cubs, who were extremely eager for power, opened their eyes full of tyranny and scanned the grassland, anything that could make them stronger and have power, and wanted to pounce on it and bite it at any time.
It was frightening, but also somewhat comforting.
Can these wolf cubs, who look like eagles and wolves and look around for prey, lead the grassland people to win a battle with the Ming Dynasty?
No!
It is enough to compete with each other.
Now, foreign hunters are about to enter their territory.
These young wolf cubs pushed him out, the old wolf, hoping to use him to test the hunter of the Ming Dynasty.
Okay.
He is willing to fulfill this group of young wolf cubs.
Although cruel.
But this is the rule of the grassland.
Hula...
The curtain of the tent behind him rang.
Interrupting Nahachu's thoughts.
Nahachu turned around...
Zhang Yu came out of the tent with Zheng Shilong.
Zhang Yu bowed and reminded: "Your Majesty, be careful."
Humph!
Nahachu snorted slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Yu, and whispered a warning: "Zhang Yu, you'd better have no connection with the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di."
Zhang Yu's smile became even stronger.
Since the fourth prince traveled across Liaodong and the grassland.
Nahachu's suspicion of him never disappeared.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get any handle.
Zhang Yu smiled and nodded, passed by Nahachu and left.
At the same time, he glanced at the young leaders of various tribes gathered in the distance.
Walking further away, he whispered with emotion: "This battle of the court is definitely not easy to fight."
He was in the grassland.
He witnessed the cruelty of the survival of the fittest through the fierce internal fighting in the grassland in recent years.
Zheng Shilong raised his hand and touched his big bald head, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Wan, when will we contact the fourth prince?"
Zhang Yu shook his head, "Let's act according to the situation. Now not only Nahachu suspects us, but Toghon Temur is actually worried about us, not to mention that there are Mahamu and Arutai who are watching us all the time."
Of course, he wanted to contact the fourth prince as soon as possible.
But the current situation made him dare not act rashly.
"The fourth prince took Toghon Temur's princess as his concubine. Will Toghon Temur go after him this time?"
Zhang Yu frowned slightly.
Just now, he stayed behind to test Toghon Temur about the specific strategy of this battle.
But Toghon Temur did not reveal any information.
Zheng Shilong saw that Zhang Yu did not answer, and whispered: "I don't know what the First Army is like. The fourth prince of Ming is very good at fighting. In Shandong, he led a group of peasants and defeated my brothers..."
Zhang Yu laughed when he heard it. He also wanted to see the new army of the fourth prince, the First Army, which had already spread to the grassland.
What is the difference between it and the elite he had seen?
Just like Zhang Yu and Zheng Shilong.
In the distance, Mahamu and others also gathered together to discuss Zhu Di and the First Army.
"I heard that Emperor Ming Zhu Yuanzhang exiled the Fourth Prince of Ming overseas."
"I don't know why the Fourth Prince of Ming would come back to work hard for the Ming Dynasty when Emperor Ming treated him like this."
"Everyone, we all know the name of the Fourth Prince of Ming. Now we have to see whether he is worthy of the title of the strongest soldier in the world when he goes out to sea for training. I guess the Khan will definitely focus on the Fourth Prince of Ming!"
"No way? The Ming Dynasty is our biggest enemy, and the Crown Prince Zhu Biao is the future successor of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Khan is not confused, he should focus on attacking the Crown Prince, right?"
"Hehe, everyone, don't forget that the Khan's women are now warming the bed for the Fourth Prince of Ming!"
"It's just a woman!"
…
Throughout the grassland, heroes big and small were talking about Zhu Di and the First Army Town.
Eagerly waiting for Zhu Biao and Zhu Di's reply.
Beiping.
Zhu Biao led the new imperial army from the four towns to arrive.
"Is this the new army of the imperial court? I feel that I am not energetic enough and a little sluggish. It is not as good as the first army town that arrived first and is full of energy!"
"Is the new imperial army really inferior to the first army town?"
"The dress of Army No. 1 is really peculiar."
"It's a little strange, but I think the attire of Army No. 1 Town is particularly majestic."
"I just don't know how capable the Army's number one soldier is at actually fighting the Mongols?"
…
When the people of Peiping heard that Zhu Biao had arrived with the new imperial army, they ran out of the city and stood on the roadside to watch the excitement.
Zhu Biao listened to the people's discussion.
He turned around and looked at the soldiers who looked exhausted after a long march.
The mental state is indeed very bad.
no way.
It’s just a long journey.
After entering the north, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and the official road, which was already covered with snow, became even more difficult to pass.
Along the way, the soldiers kept clearing away the snow.
The physical exertion was severe.
Zhu Biao looked away and asked in a low voice: "Along the way, there is no one left behind in the Army's First Town?"
Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others heard the sound and shifted their gaze to Zhu Biao.
Lan Yu nodded: "Yes, no. The system of doctors in the Army's First Town is very sound. Moreover, the physical fitness of the officers in the Army's First Town is generally better than that of the imperial court."
Although most of Zhu Laosi's Army No. 1 Town are Fujianese.
Southerner.
After entering Hebei, the temperature dropped sharply, and there was no attrition and lag behind.
Mainly due to Zhu Laosi's thorough preparation.
On the way, when he was overtaken by Army No. 1 Town, he went to Army No. 1 Town to learn more.
"The staff groups at all levels in Army No. 1 Town are very professional. They can calculate the consumption of each person, every day, and under different circumstances..."
While he was studying and observing.
I have seen it with my own eyes, a group of members of the staff group, calculating piles of papers and papers.
Just use Zhu Laosi's addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and table statistics.
Control the staff around you and make statistics to the associate level.
The staff members at the association level also made statistics to the standard level.
And so on.
In the end, each shed has a clear calculation of how much consumption it requires.
In the new army of the imperial court, a staff group was also established according to Zhu Laosi's detailed training outline for the new army.
But on the court's side, capable people would rather stay in the old army that has not been trained yet than come to the staff group.
Because in everyone's opinion, the staff team does not have much power and is just a handyman.
In the end, when the imperial court organized and trained the new army, it could only insert some generals with senior qualifications and relatively mediocre abilities.
After all, perhaps these people can only serve as a hundred households if they lead the army.
But as long as you are willing to be a staff military officer.
You can be promoted to one level.
To be a standard-level staff officer with a rank equivalent to that of a thousand households.
This results in the overall quality of staff members being low.
And the number of magic methods.
They won't.
Officials under the six departments of the imperial court saw the convenience of Zhu Laosi's calculation method when he led his students to inspect the officials.
I learned it from Zhu Laosi's students.
So when teaching the staff group.
The imperial court asked these officials to teach the staff group.
"Prince, after we left this matter to the officials of the Sixth Department, we didn't bother with it again. In this regard, we also had a great dereliction of duty. We also neglected the construction of military staff and military personnel in the army."
Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Lan Yu who admitted his mistake.
Smiled and nodded.
Lan Yu's attitude is very correct.
Don't just pass things off to others.
I reflected on myself, external factors, and all aspects.
"I originally thought that during the review and confrontation drills, the gap between the new imperial army and the Army's First Town had been exposed. But now it seems that we are still too optimistic. You should carefully observe the gap between the two sides and write it down. correct."
"yes!"
Everyone took orders one after another.
Zhu Biao asked: "Huizu holds a staff military position in the Fourth Army. How is he doing?"
Mu Ying smiled, "Very good. Hui Zu and Geng Xuan lead a separate team and are responsible for the overall situation."
As she spoke, Mu Ying glanced at Xu Da with envy.
Among the children of the Xu family, those who are near the water and the terrace will get the moon first.
With his brother-in-law, Lao Si, personally taking care of him, he has been far behind many of his peers in Zhuzi Lane over the years.
"Third uncle." Zhu Biao looked at Xu Da with a smile, "After Huizu finishes his term in Fujian, let him return to the court and take up his post in the new army. He has learned a lot from Lao Si over the years, and the court needs it to organize and train the new army. Talent, Gu Suan understands clearly that if you only rely on the imperial court to learn from the detailed outline of the fourth child, you can only learn half a bucket of water. "
…
"Let Huizu come back and serve as a co-union to set an example for the new army of the imperial court to observe closely!"
Everyone was secretly surprised.
Xu Huizu is so young.
Just serve as co-president?
But soon, everyone was relieved again.
Even Li Jinglong now serves as the new army co-president of the imperial court.
Xu Huizu followed Zhu Laosi. Although he served as the county magistrate in Min County, they did not believe that Zhu Laosi did not teach his brother-in-law to train and lead troops.
After everyone figured it out, they all looked at Xu Da with envy.
Xie Tong, commanding two soldiers, more than 4,000 people.
The strength of the troops is slightly less than that of the First Guard Commander, but it's almost the same.
The imperial court's new military system is now copied from the Army's First Town.
However, the specific grade has not yet been determined.
Feeling the envious eyes of everyone, Xu Da smiled implicitly and said: "Everything is subject to the prince's arrangement. However, Huizu is still a bit young, so the prince had better let him work from below and slowly start."
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "The fourth child is also young. He has already established a lot of achievements outside. I am afraid that the founding of the People's Republic of China is not far away. Huizu is the brother-in-law of the fourth child. I don't believe that the fourth child has not truly understood the truth in these years. Pass this skill on to Hui Zu.”
…
Everyone is talking about it.
Close to the camp outside Peiping City.
Nearly 300,000 elites from all over the north have gathered in Peiping.
There is a vast land in the north of Beiping City, and there are continuous large camps everywhere as far as the eye can see.
The size of the army is 300,000.
Anyone who sees it can't help but feel excited.
When Zhu Biao arrived, Zhu Di was already waiting outside the camp gate with a group of generals.
Zhu Biao looked at the generals gathered at the camp gate from a distance.
Line of sight extends.
The endless stretch of camp comes into view.
The sound of drills, shooting, and shelling came from the camp from time to time.
This is his soldier!
In the near future, I will follow him and gallop on the grassland!
Zhu Biao withdrew his gaze and fell back on Zhu Di, who stood at the head of the generals and served as deputy commander.
Silently excited, he clenched his fists.
"Brother."
Zhu Di smiled and led Zhu Ping and others to greet Zhu Biao when he approached.
Zhu Biao reined in his horse.
He got off his horse and walked over quickly. Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he smiled and hugged Zhu Di hard.
It made Zhu Di feel a little unnatural.
Zhu Biao let go and smiled: "Take brother and go to your army's first town to have a look."
Zhu Di quickly arranged for people to set up camp for the new imperial army that arrived, and then took Zhu Biao and a group of people to the camp of the Army's First Town.
Lu Ben followed the crowd, looking at Zhu Di with dark eyes all the way, while ventriloquising, 'What should we do to allow Zhu Silang to lead the army alone and separate from the prince? ’
While talking and laughing, everyone approached the army's first town camp.
"put!"
Bang bang bang...
"One two one!"
"To the left!"
…
As soon as I got close, I heard noisy sounds inside the camp.
Zhu Biao asked curiously: "Have all the soldiers rested?"
Lao Si and the others walked in front, clearing the road along the way, and arrived only a day or two earlier than them.
Getting into training so soon?
Can the soldiers tolerate it?
Zhu Di explained with a smile, "After arriving, the soldiers rested for a day. The brothers are all from the south. It is their first time to go north, so they must seize the time to adapt to the weather in the north..."
Because of this matter, everyone in the entire First Army Town was extremely busy.
To ensure that most soldiers are not defeated by the cold in the north.
Food, cold protection, cold-repelling medicinal materials...
There are so many things to prepare for in every aspect.
Zhu Biao and the generals followed, listened patiently, and walked into the camp to observe.
Zhu Biao also noticed.
Compared with Jinling, Army No. 1 Town's spirit is still a bit inferior.
The soldiers were obviously not used to the severe cold weather in the north.
His hands were red with cold, holding the firecracker, and they were shaking faintly.
Zhu Biao approached a soldier holding a fire gun, reached out and touched the soldier's red hands. His palms were sticky, he rubbed them, then put them to the tip of his nose and smelled them. He spread his hands and asked curiously: "Fourth brother, the soldiers' hands are painted What?"
"Lard." Zhu Di said with a smile: "This is what we prepared on Jilong Island. Lard can prevent frostbite and chapped..."
Zhu Biao nodded.
Afterwards, follow Zhu Di to continue the visit.
After a long journey, we are still in the cold north where we are completely unaccustomed.
This time, they really saw some details of the New Army that had never been exposed.
All the way back to the handsome tent prepared by the Northern Expedition Army for Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao and others sat down, looked around and said with emotion: "Just now, you all went to see Army No. 1 Town. I believe everyone has a more intuitive and clear experience of Army No. 1 Town?"
…
Everyone nodded from time to time.
"It is precisely the details of every aspect of Army No. 1 Town that have been done well enough to ensure that the combat effectiveness and morale of Army No. 1 Town are preserved to the maximum extent in the completely unfamiliar cold north."
"What ensures these details comes from the excellent and capable staff team in Army No. 1 Town."
…
"When I say this, I don't mean to ask you to change it now. Not long after, the armies are arriving one after another, and they are about to leave the fortress. There is no time to change it. I just hope that you will keep what you have learned from the observation in your heart. The millions of soldiers of the imperial court Ma, in the future, will be gradually adapted into a new, more advanced army like the Army's First Town..."
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, hundreds of generals at all levels stood up in a roar, "The prince's instructions will be remembered in the end!"
A sonorous sound rushed out of the handsome tent.
The soldiers on duty around him couldn't help but feel excited and subconsciously puffed up their chests.
Zhu Biao was even more excited.
His face was slightly flushed, and he pursed his lips reservedly. He couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips. He nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and pressed it.
The corners of his lips moved slightly, just about to speak.
"Report!"
A general quickly walked into the commander's tent, "Outside the gate, there is an envoy claiming to be Beiyuan Khan, asking to see him!"
Everyone frowned slightly.
Zhu Biao immediately ordered: "Bring people in."
After a while.
The envoy from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who was covered in dust, entered the commander's tent. After saluting Zhu Biao, he said sonorously: "I am the envoy of the Khan. The Khan asked the Ming Prince that our grassland has not violated the territory of the Ming Dynasty for several years. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty has been aggressive and has already controlled the Ming Dynasty." Our government has forced us out of Liaodong, so why should we use our power to bully others?"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown slightly.
Indeed, Beiyuan has not violated the border for several years.
On the contrary, in the past few years, the imperial court has been aggressive and continuously launched attacks on Beiyuan.
There is something wrong with the moral principle of following a famous teacher.
"If Erghan Togush Timur is willing to claim the title of emperor and come to surrender to my eldest brother, our country can withdraw its troops immediately."
Zhu Di suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at Zhu Di...
Zhu Di sat on the left side of the commander's tent, the most honorable position except Zhu Biao. He looked at the envoy of Beiyuan with a smile and said, "There can only be one emperor in the world, and that is my father. Anyone who arrogantly calls himself emperor is an enemy of our Ming Dynasty." Provocation, as long as Togu Si Timur is willing to give up the title of emperor, he does not need to follow us back to the dynasty. He only needs to make an agreement with my elder brother to go to the border between the two countries and symbolically surrender to my elder brother. There is no need to pay tribute. We, the five hundred thousand elites, , turn back immediately!”
"Is Togus Timur willing?"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone else laughed too.
Togu Si Timur only had to do this.
There is no harm in the imperial court withdrawing its troops.
Because as long as Togu Si Timur did this, the grassland ministries would never listen to Togu Si Timur's orders again.
The envoy looked at Zhu Di, who was wearing a strange military uniform.
He held his chest and bowed solemnly.
The depth of the bow was deeper than that of Zhu Biao just now.
Zhu Di frowned slightly.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, many people's expressions also changed.
The envoy solemnly said: "I pay my respects to King Yan."
When the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was deep in the grassland, he was in the encirclement and suppression campaign and was lucky enough to see him from a distance.
The commanders of thousands and ten thousand who approached the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty were all killed by the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty.
He is relatively lucky.
The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty was wearing this strange attire, and he hadn't recognized it just now.
Although this person severely humiliated the entire grassland.
But they prairie people respect the real strong!
After the envoy paid his respects, he stood up, took out a letter from his arms, lowered his head, and held it in front of Zhu Di with both hands, "Fourth Prince, this is the letter of challenge from the Khan to the Fourth Prince. We have already arranged it in Zhangbeicheng. Heavy troops, you must capture Zhangbei when you go out. The Khan hopes that we will fight in Zhangbei. We will defend and your side will attack. The Khan hopes that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty will command the first town of the army and can serve as the Ming Dynasty's first town. One of the attacking troops."
The generals' faces were filled with excitement instantly.
Everyone sees the performance of Army No. 1 Town.
But whether it is a review, confrontation drill, or long-distance march, it is not actual combat.
Everyone wants to see the actual combat performance of the Army's First Town!
Unexpectedly, the opportunity would come so soon!
However, everyone was embarrassed to say it.
After all, the First Army Town is an authentic southern army!
This time the imperial court mobilized elite troops from the south.
They were not drawn from places as far south as Fujian.
I'm just worried about being acclimatized.
Moreover, the First Army Town was a guest army returning to Korea to help in the war.
With such an army, it is too unethical for everyone to push people to the front line and fight a siege.
Even though there were many generals who yearned for Zhu Biao, some of them extremely hoped that Zhu Di would accept the letter of challenge, but they only looked at Zhu Biao in secret and did not dare to speak out and add insult to injury.
'pick up! Zhu Silang, aren't you very powerful? Take it! ’
Lu Ben stared at Zhu Di closely, clenched his fists excitedly, and shouted in his heart.
Zhu Di turned to Zhu Biao, clasped his fists and asked for instructions, "Brother, I want to accept this letter of challenge, please allow me!"
There is nothing wrong with fighting the first battle.
An army can only become stronger if it fights harder.
Before going deep into the grassland.
It is a good thing for soldiers to actually fight a battle.
Don’t you all want to see the Army’s First Town in action?
Then take a look.
Moreover, this kind of offensive and defensive battle may be the only battle after leaving the fortress.
The Army's First Town requires offensive and defensive warfare and actual combat drills.
Prepare in advance for the future conquest of the world.
However, he couldn't agree directly. The eldest brother was the one who made the decision here now.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly, "Fourth Brother, your army's first town is full of southern soldiers..."
And it is said that except for the First Battalion of the First Association, the other battalions have never participated in actual combat.
The first battle is an offensive and defensive battle.
Isn’t it a bit overwhelming?
He also wanted to see the Army's First Town in action.
So I hesitated just now.
"How about replacing it with the new army from the imperial court?"
Zhu Di shook his head with a smile, "Brother, Togu Si Timur wants to fight the First Army Town. We have to satisfy him. If the First Army Town cannot defeat Zhang Bei, let's rotate the new army of the imperial court."
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I allow Army No. 1 Town to accept Bei Yuan's challenge."
After Zhu Di accepted the order with a smile, he turned around and took the letter of challenge, opened it and read it.
He immediately laughed out of anger.
Togu Si Timur actually listed the seven major hatreds towards him in his letter.
The hatred of taking away my wife!
The hatred of humiliation across the grassland!
…
After all, I was worried that he would not dare to accept the letter of challenge, provoking and motivating the generals in the letter.
Zhu Di put away the letter and said with a smile: "Go back and tell Togu Si Timur that I have received the letter of war in the first town of the army. Ten days later, we will compete in Zhangbei!"
The envoy from Beiyuan looked at Zhu Di in awe, touched his chest and bowed excitedly, "I will definitely convey King Yan's words to the Khan!"
…
The envoy leaves.
same day.
The news first spread in Peiping.
"Khan Beiyuan has issued a letter of war to King Yan! I heard that the letter of war to King Yan also listed the seven major hatreds! The first hatred is the hatred of seizing his wife! Haha..."
"The two sides agreed to set up a battle formation in the important town of Zhangbei. The first town of the Yanwang Army will be the main attack, and Beiyuan will defend!"
"The first town of King Yan's army looks very good, but I heard that it has never been in a war. Is it okay?"
…
Even the cold weather can hardly extinguish the lively discussions among the people.
Press Chasi Yamen.
Lu Ben smiled proudly and raised his glass to Hu Weiyong, "Hu Xiang, let's drink this cup!"
Hu Weiyong picked up the wine glass with a smile.
Accompany Lu Ben and drink it all in one gulp.
He is no longer an official.
Without restraints, I followed him north this time just to get closer and get news of the war as soon as possible.
"Hu Xiang, at that time I was really afraid that Zhu Silang would refuse, or that the prince would stop Zhu Silang..."
Lu Ben's face was flushed. As he spoke, he came closer and whispered: "The prince hesitated at that time. Hu Xiang thought that the prince simply wanted to see the actual combat capabilities of Army No. 1 Town, or did he want to be the first to push Army No. 1 Town to the front line? To consume?”
Don't look at the two purposes, the final form of expression.
They all allow Army No. 1 Town to accept the challenge.
But the connotation is completely different.
If the latter.
This means that the prince is already feeling strange towards Zhu Silang.
Hu Weiyong shook his head.
He wanted to know too.
But people's hearts are separated from each other, and Prince Zhu Biao is not a person without a city.
How could others easily see through Zhu Biao's thoughts?
Lu Ben didn't hesitate and smiled.
As long as the army in the First Army Town, which has no actual combat experience, accepts the challenge!
He was even more eager to see the heavy casualties suffered during the offensive and defensive battle in the Army's No. 1 town.
That must be very satisfying!
"Hu Xiang, I have already told the prince about your affairs. The prince has allowed Hu Xiang to follow him out of the country as a staff member. Hu Xiang must seize this opportunity and leave a deep impression on the prince's heart as much as possible. impression!"
Excitement flashed across Hu Weiyong's eyes.
He now wants a chance to get close to Zhu Biao.
Unexpectedly, it appeared so soon.
He immediately raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
…
Prince Qin's Mansion.
Zhu Xi followed Zhu Di and spent a day in Army No. 1 Town, running around and even training with Zhu Di and the soldiers from time to time.
He returned to Prince Qin's Mansion completely tired and gave some instructions to the officials of Prince Qin's Mansion.
I just came to the study and sat down. I closed my eyes and rested. At the same time, I thought about all the things I had been busy with Zhu Di in the military camp today.
These experiences are all related to the training of the new army.
The fourth child is willing to be honest and open to the brothers, teaching them that they must seize such opportunities.
Ta-ta-ta...
The sound of footsteps came.
Zhu Xi opened his eyes.
His face suddenly showed joy, and he stood up excitedly: "When did you come back, sir?"
Yao Guangxiao was covered with dust all over his body, his bright bald head was covered with a light layer of dust, and he wore a gray-black monk's robe. He clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I just came back. I heard that King Yan took over Gusi Timur. War letter?"
Zhu Xiang nodded, poured tea for Yao Guangxiao, sat down, and asked: "Do you know what Tuogu Si Timur has any conspiracy against the fourth child? If you know, tell me immediately! Don't hide it!"
Zhu Xiang's eyes gradually became sharp as he examined Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "When the poor monk left the grassland, the whole grassland was rumored that Wu Yunqige was accepted as a concubine by King Yan, and Tuogusi Timur was very angry. The poor monk speculated, This time, if King Yan leads the army alone, he may become the focus of the attack on the entire grassland! "
He knew that King Qin valued the brotherhood with Zhu Silang very much.
King Qin also told him.
Zhu Silang slapped him.
In this regard, King Qin, a person with a perverse temper, did not hold any grudge at all.
He still remembered what King Qin said at that time: The fourth brother is doing it for my own good. If I fail in the future, considering there are so many brothers in the royal family, the only one Shang Bing can entrust is the fourth brother.
He didn't lie to King Qin either.
Togu Si Timur did indeed plan this.
But after his persuasion, I changed my mind.
As for Togusi Timur, he changed his mind and prepared to focus on attacking the prince.
He was not going to tell King Qin.
He was worried that if too many people knew about it, the truth would be exposed.
Tuogu Si Timur listed the seven hatreds to the King of Yan Zhu Di, which was clearly intended to mislead the generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone in the Ming Dynasty mistakenly believed that Tuogu Si Timur hated King Yan very much.
Not surprisingly, in the future, Togu Si Timur will continue to strengthen the illusion that he hates King Yan very much.
In the end, the Ming Dynasty was induced to throw King Yan out, lead the army alone, and attract the heavy troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!
"Is there anything else?" Zhu Xi asked.
Togu Si Timur hated the fourth child and wanted to cut the fourth child into thousands of pieces. The seven hatreds in the war book have been clearly revealed.
He wasn't surprised.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head, changed the subject, and asked: "Your Highness, how is King Yan's first army town?"
"Elite!"
Yao Guangxiao became even more curious, "If I accept the challenge this time, can I win the actual battle?"
Zhu Xi didn't know how to answer for a while.
The first town of the army must be elite.
But the only shortcoming is that there is almost no actual combat experience.
Without any reference, it is impossible to draw a conclusion.
…
Six days later.
The First Army Regiment, Qiu Fuwei, four new armies of the imperial court, Zhu Chong, Zhu Yu and several other northern frontier kings and vassal guards.
The total force is 150,000.
They set off first.
They went to Wanquan Youwei.
They went out of the grassland from Yehuling and attacked Zhangbei directly.
This trip.
Zhu Di was the full commander.
However, Zhu Biao, Lan Yu, Xu Da, Tang He and other generals all accompanied them, and all the generals went to observe the actual combat of the First Army Regiment.
The other armies accompanied them to prevent the Northern Yuan from attacking the First Army Regiment during the siege of the First Army Regiment.
On the day of departure.
The people of Beiping all came out to watch the excitement.
The soldiers of the First Regiment took the lead and walked in the front.
The soldiers changed into cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes, which looked a little bloated.
Carrying marching backpacks and muskets, they held their heads high and marched forward silently.
The cavalry had already set off first.
Behind the infantry were two artillery battalions.
The war horses pulled the yellow-orange cannons, crushing the frozen soil, making a creaking sound.
The 48 cannons marched in rows, attracting the attention of the people.
"This is all made of copper!"
"Speaking of which, the King of Yan should be the master of our Beiping."
"Yes, if the King of Yan had not refused to be enfeoffed, he would be the master of our Beiping. I heard that Fujian is very rich now, which should have been the welfare of our Beiping people. What a pity."
"I heard that the King of Yan has already established a base overseas?"
...
"No matter what, the title of King of Yan has a connection with our Beiping. In the future, when the King of Yan establishes a country overseas, it should be Great Yan, right? It also has a connection with our Beiping!"
"Live the King of Yan a thousand years!"
"The First Army Town will win!"
"Live the King of Yan a thousand years!"
"The First Army Town will win!"
...
When the people were discussing the connection between Zhu Di and Beiping, someone suddenly started shouting.
Then, all the people followed suit, and the shouts rose to the sky.
When the soldiers of the First Army Town heard the shouts of the people, their chests straightened up.
No matter what, they could not embarrass the prince!
Zhu Biao and others who were accompanying him, when they heard the shouts, reined in their horses and turned back to look...
Hmph!
Lü Ben's face darkened, and he exchanged glances with Hu Weiyong.
The prince led the troops in this battle!
But because of Toghon Temur's challenge, Zhu Silang stole the limelight before the war even started!
Hu Weiyong leaned slightly to Lü Ben, and whispered with a smile in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Why should you mind, Lord Lu? This is the only chance for Zhu Silang to be in the limelight in this battle."
Lü Ben laughed immediately.
Of course.
When Zhu Silang failed in the attack on Zhangbei, he would be beaten to a pulp.
The prestige that Zhu Silang had created before would be gone!
The first town of the army, the strongest army in the world?
It would also become a joke!
Everyone had different thoughts.
The first town of the army was the vanguard, with 150,000 elite soldiers, who were the first to march out of the pass.
The ninth day...
When the army went to Yehuling.
The news that Toghon Temur had issued a declaration of war to Zhu Di was transmitted back to Jinling.
The palace.
Noon.
Jiang𤩽 hurried into the palace and headed straight for Fengtian Hall.
He knew that at this time, the emperor would definitely hold a noon court in Fengtian Hall.
When he came to the square outside Fengtian Hall, Jiang𤩽 looked at several palace maids playing with Xiao Qihuan, his lips slightly raised, and a sneer flashed across his face, 'Poor thing, you will soon become a fatherless child. '
This time, Toghon Temur made it clear that he wanted to take revenge on Zhu Silang.
Zhu Silang is very dangerous!
Once Zhu Silang died in battle.
Xu Miaoyun and her orphan and widowed mother are in danger!
The foundation of Dongfan that Zhu Silang laid for them is also on the mind of many people in the prince's family!
After Jiang𤩽 walked past quickly.
Xiao Qihuan stopped kicking the shuttlecock and looked at Jiang Yu's back.
"Princess..."
Xiao Qihuan did not respond to the maid, and ran to the Fengtian Hall with her short legs.
...
"Your Majesty, urgent news from Beiping!"
In the hall, the midday court was in progress, and it stopped instantly as Jiang Yu's voice sounded.
Jiang Yu held up the letter and hurried inside, looking at the Dragon Court.
Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Gaochi stood on the left and right of Zhu Yuanzhang.
The ministers were watching.
The little eunuch took the letter from Jiang Yu and hurried back to the Dragon Court.
Jiang Yu also reported: "News came from Beiping, the pseudo-Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Toghon Temur, issued a letter of challenge to the First Army Town, and challenged the First Army Town in Zhangbei..."
Xiongying and Yongming listened, looked at each other, and their faces became solemn at the same time.
A few officials were worried.
More people looked at each other secretly, their eyes flashing with joy and relief.
‘Toghon Temur hated Zhu Silang so much, the prince’s northern expedition is a sure thing! ’
‘Best! Best is that Zhu Silang dies in Zhangbei, and the court sweeps across the grassland with revenge! ’
…
In an instant, some officials who hated Zhu Di excitedly clenched their fists and secretly rehearsed the development of the war.
The midday court was interrupted by an urgent report from Beiping.
All officials filed out of the Fengtian Hall.
Glancing at Xiao Qihua, who was crawling at the door of the hall with big black eyes and eavesdropping.
Many people had a playful sneer on their lips.
Go away.
Those who were on good terms gathered together in groups of three or five.
"Zhu Silang actually agreed directly. Is this because he is confident enough, or is he arrogant, forgetting that his army's first town, although elite, is full of new recruits!"
"I think Zhu Silang just wants to steal the crown prince's limelight!"
…
"If something happens to Zhu Silang, the prince will avenge Zhu Silang. If Xu Miaoyun, an orphan and widowed mother, cannot defend Dongfan, she should dedicate Dongfan to the court, right?"
…
News quickly spread from the palace.
"The first battle of the Army's First Town has begun!"
"Great! I believe that it won't be long before we receive good news from the Army's First Town!"
"Stupid! You fools, you are ridiculously stupid! Although King Yan's first army town is well-trained, it has no actual combat experience!"
"Prince Yan is too arrogant! He should never have agreed to this battle in the first place. In order to steal the crown prince's limelight, he will definitely pay a heavy price!"
…
In the city, some educated elites and common people had a heated debate over whether Army No. 1 Town could win.
…
The entire Zhuzi Lane is paying attention to Zhu Mansion.
In the sleeping hall.
A group of children stood in front of Xu Miaoyun.
All of them had angry faces.
Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "We don't care what other people say, Chunxiao, when will you set out to travel around the world?"
Chunxiao shook her head, "Master's wife, we have decided not to go."
The city is full of rumors.
Some people even started to talk about what happened to the master, what happened to his wife, the orphans, and the widowed mother.
How hateful!
The master doesn't care about anything!
Wu Yunqige sat nearby, looking at the group of children who wanted to stay and protect Xu Miaoyun, and couldn't help but smile.
To say that I am not envious would definitely be a hypocritical lie.
But this is what my sister-in-law deserves.
Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "Don't you even believe in your master? Besides, at this time, the master's wife and junior brothers and sisters are actually safer. You should do whatever you want."
Those people are just addicted to talking.
Just conjecture.
News of Shiro's accident did not come for a day.
No one dared to touch anyone in the Zhu family.
Even if news of Shiro's accident comes, those who hate Shiro will confirm it carefully before they dare to act.
"Besides, if you don't go out to increase your knowledge and skills, how can you protect your master's wife?"
…
After careful analysis by Xu Miaoyun.
He also pretended to be angry and ordered.
A group of children decided to continue traveling around the world as scheduled.
Wait until the children leave.
Wu Yunqige smiled bitterly and said, "This time, I have brought trouble to my sworn brother."
Seven hates?
Thanks to Gusi Timur, a grown man, for being able to make it up.
Too narrow-minded!
How could he have the mind of a prairie man!
The ancestor Genghis Khan would definitely not ignore the military and national plans because of the shame brought by a woman!
It is conceivable that Zhu Ruruo may be targeted by various tribes in the grassland.
The worry in Xu Miaoyun's eyes flashed away, and she shook her head with a smile: "How long did it take before we moved back to Zhu's Mansion? How could such a small thing spread throughout the grassland so quickly, and it also spread that Shilang accepted you as his side? Rumors like this?"
Wu Yunqige gradually became serious, "Sister-in-law is suspicious. Someone is deliberately spreading rumors, hoping that Togu Si Timur will target his sworn brother?"
Xu Miaoyun nodded, lowered his head, and looked at Jindouzi who was being 'punched and kicked' in the crib.
The worry in his eyes grew stronger.
This incident fully reflected the discord within the Ming Dynasty.
I am afraid that this lack of unity also exists in the Northern Expedition Army.
To what level has this disunity spread?
Shiro accepted the challenge.
There must be other considerations.
But it definitely has the purpose of setting an example for all armies and rallying people's hearts.
But can Shiro achieve his goal of uniting people's hearts by himself?
She is not worried about the battle in Zhangbei.
But she was worried, after going deep into the grassland!
This kind of people have different hearts and small thoughts, which eventually lead to catastrophe!
I hope she's worried too much.
There were too many people she cared about in this battle.
Shilang, Dadi, Huizu, Yingxu, Zengshou, Dongxu...
…
same day.
It's approaching evening.
When the sun has set on the prairie horizon.
A mighty army.
Slowly approach Zhang Beicheng.
Tuogu Si Timur, leading the leaders of various ministries, stood at the top of the city and looked from a distance.
"The person walking at the front, wearing the black military uniform, is the Army No. 1 Town of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, right?" Taiping, one of the leaders of the three Wala tribes, pointed in the direction of the Army No. 1 Town and asked curiously.
Togu Si Timur, Nahachu, Zhang Yu, Mahamu and others were all staring at the Army's First Town.
Ta-ta-ta...
Other armies have stopped advancing and have begun to build large camps.
The Army's First Town continued to approach Zhangbeicheng.
As the distance approached, the sound of steady steps reached my ears.
Everyone at the top of the city could see it more clearly.
Under the red light, the guns and swords behind the soldiers turned blood red.
The expressions of Mahamu and others gradually became solemn, and they looked at it carefully. They were like straight lines, approaching in array.
Behind the first army town.
Zhu Biao and others, standing on horseback, were equally serious and looked at it carefully...
