Chapter 894: Promising Promise
Zhu Gaoxu was a little moved, and said with a "hmm": "What should the surname Yang do?"
Xu Lang said: "The crown prince has ascended the throne, and another assassination will damage His Royal Highness's reputation, and he will be caught by the imperial court by a little accident, which is not conducive to the current situation, and besides, our plan must be redeployed, and we can't act rashly at the moment, the surname Yang is just a fake prince, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation of His Highness......
Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and felt that Xu Lang was reasonable, and said: "This time it will be cheaper for that kid, when this king becomes a big deal in the future, he will never spare you, sue Sรน Meiqing and Chen Gang to stop the assassination?"
"Yes!" The guards took the order and left, and returned in a hurry after a while, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and shouted, "What's the matter?"
The guard said, "Lord Mei, Lord Chen, are they back?"
"Was the assassination successful?" Zhu Gaoxu's face was overjoyed, he was disgusted with this young man who had ruined his big things, and he wanted to kill him with his own hands.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Gang walked in with Mei Qing in his arms, and bowed his head before he could take a closer look: "Lord Wang, it's useless to be lowly, you failed to kill the prince, please punish Your Highness?"
"Failed to assassinate?" Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be a little incredulous, eight hundred warriors of the rivers and lakes, with a strong crossbow, could not withstand the opponent's five hundred soldiers, which was incredible.
Chen Gang carefully talked about today's battle, and when he learned that the other party used the method of using soldiers, he showed an incredible look.
Xu Lang muttered: "It seems that this person named Yang Zheng is a person who knows about military affairs, and the formation is a team of twelve people, with the first one being the captain, and these two people hold a long card and a rattan card. The long player holds a long shield to block the arrows and spears of the Japanese robbers, and the rattan player holds a light rattan shield with a javelin and waist knife, and the long player and the rattan player mainly cover the rear team to advance, and the rattan player can also fight the enemy in close combat in addition to covering. Then the two of them are wolf whisks holding wolf whisks, wolf whisks are the use of the southern growth of bamboo, choose its old and solid ones, cut the end of the bamboo obliquely into a pointed shape, and leave sharp branches around it, each wolf whisk is about three meters long, the wolf whisk hand uses the sharp blade at the front end of the wolf whisk to assassinate the enemy to cover the advance of the shield hand and the attack of the spearman behind. Then there were four spearmen with spears, two on the left and two on the right, and the shieldmen and wolf-bearers on the left and right in front of them. Followed by two soldiers armed with "boring palladium" to serve as guards, supporters, and other work. If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short soldier will rush forward with a short knife to slash the enemy. The division of labor of various weapons is clear, as long as everyone is proficient in their own kind of operation, the key to effective killing of the enemy lies in the overall coordination, and the order is prohibited, which is really a rare formation, and Lord Chen's soldiers are not wronged when they are defeated?"
"Hmph, I can't imagine that kid still has some ability?" Zhu Gaoxu snorted, he can't do anything with Wen, but he still has some insight with Wu, as Xu Lang said, he is quite curious about the mandarin duck formation, and the other party is the first to take the lead, and he has a lot of temper with himself, and he thinks that although this guy is a little arrogant, he is not a general!
"Lord Wang, do we still want to continue to kill?" Mei Qing was stabbed in the chest by Yang Zheng, although it was not a fatal injury, but the injury was not small, and he coughed a few times after saying a few words at this time.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "This person is not really the prince?"
"Isn't it the real prince? No wonder?" A trace of remorse flashed in Mei Qing's eyes, as the guard of the King of Han, he understood the meaning of this opportunity in front of him to the King of Han, and he couldn't imagine that it would be so ruined, if he had been more careful, if he had kept the words of the little prince, and then explored it carefully, maybe it would not be the situation today?" Thinking of this, he sighed lightly, shook his head and stopped talking.
Zhu Gaoxu was also very depressed, years of preparation, actually pounced, this is not counting, the original active situation, with the crown prince ascending the throne as the emperor turned passive, it is not so easy to do it again, and the reason why there are so many soldiers vassal beside him this time, most of them are aimed at Emperor Renzong's body and bones, the situation is still unclear, now that the prince has ascended the throne as the emperor, the situation in the court is bright, for the sake of the future, livelihood considerations, I am afraid that this time the soldiers will leave.
Xu Lang glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and saw that this high-spirited prince in the past, his face was a little excited, and he understood that this prince was a little disheartened about the situation in front of him, in fact, it was not only the prince, but also Huang Yan and the other guards in the palace showed a look of disappointment on their faces, what he had to do now was to restore the confidence of the king of Han, thought about it and said loudly: "The prince doesn't have to be so pessimistic, we just need to gather the ministers of the court, and the big thing can be done?"
"Gather the ministers of the court?" King Han smiled bitterly and said: "Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne as the emperor, I am afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government have long avoided this king, so how can they be retracted?
Xu Lang smiled and said: "Is the current situation of the prince worse than the Yan King back then?" This sentence was a little unkind, but Zhu Gaoxu did not mean to be half annoyed, his heart moved slightly, Zhu Yuanzhang ensured that the Zhu Ming Dynasty could rule for thousands of generations, on the one hand, strengthen the absolute monarchy, firmly grasp the military and political power in the hands of the emperor alone, on the other hand, try to strengthen the power of the royal family itself, and the specific method is to divide the kings. He made twenty-five members of the clan (twenty-four sons and one grandson) vassal kings, stationed them in strategic locations throughout the country, and figured out that they would come to the royal family of the domain. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The world is so big, it will build a feudal screen, defend the country on the top, and live on the people. "From a national point of view, there are two main types of these feudal domains, one is the belly, and the other is the border fortress. The feudal kings established royal palaces in their own fiefdoms, set up official subordinates, and their status was quite high.
Each vassal king has food and ten thousand stones, and has the right of military command, and has the prince's guard command envoy in the palace, and has three guards under his jurisdiction, with 3,000 guards and 19,000 guards. The nine border kings (Liao, Ning, Yan, Gu, Dai, Jin, Qin, Qing, and Su) had the important task of defending against the invasion of the Mongol nobles, so there were many guards in the armor. Zhu Di, the fourth son of Beiping, had 100,000 troops, and Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Daning, "brought 80,000 armor and 6,000 leather cars". They were responsible for building cities and fields, training generals, inspecting key points, and supervising the manufacture of weapons. The King of Jin and the King of Yan went out to fight many times to defeat the army of the remnants of the Mengyuan Dynasty, which was particularly valued, and the generals in the army were all subject to its control, and even the small matters in the army of the two kings were self-determined, and the major matters were reported to the imperial court. Especially King Yan, because of his outstanding achievements, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to "control the horses along the border" and have a unique status. Among them, King Yan, who is distinguished by his military exploits, is the most powerful.
After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he felt that it was difficult to restrain the kings, and the kings had military power, posing a potential threat to him, so he and his cronies Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and other ministers took a series of measures to cut the feudal kings, and decided to cut those less powerful vassal kings first, so he first attacked Zhu Wei, the king of Zhou, abolished him as a concubine, and detained the king Zhu Gui in Datong, imprisoned the king of Qi Zhu Wei in Beijing, and the king of Hunan Zhu Bai burned himself to death. At the same time, it also deployed troops around Beiping and in the city, and in the name of defending the border, the guards of Zhu Di, the fourth son of Ming Taizu, were transferred out of the fortress to defend outside the fortress, preparing to cut off the king of Yan. Later, he ordered the governor Song Zhongtun to garrison Kaiping, and transferred the army under the jurisdiction of King Yan in the Northern Plain. However, due to the rebellion of Shi Gecheng, the head of the palace, the secret court "King Yan pretended to be sick". Zhu Di pretended to be crazy and was discovered, the imperial court successively sent soldiers to surround the Yanwang Mansion, only the eight hundred soldiers of the Yanwang Mansion remained, the situation can be described as extremely difficult, compared to his father's back then, he now has three thousand guards, four counties, ten thousand soldiers, and the current situation, he is in Le'an Prefecture, not far from the capital, the imperial court does not mean to cut the domain, it is not empty to say that the situation is indeed promising!
"What Xu Junshi said is extremely true, although the current situation is unfavorable, compared to the father who snatched it back then, his father seized the world from Emperor Jianwen with 800 dead soldiers, and the land of Yan Wangfu seized the world, and now this king has all the help, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and he has a lot to do under the rule of the four major counties?" Zhu Gaoxu nodded frequently.
Xu Lang saw that Zhu Gaoxu's face looked better, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "As long as the prince follows the example of Cheng Zu, it is not difficult to be the prince in this world.
Zhu Gaoxu's heart suddenly moved, and he slowly turned around to look at Xu Lang, and said, "What does Xu Junshi mean?"
Xu Lang said: "Although the current situation is not conducive to the prince, but the prince only needs to plan carefully, but it is not a good thing?"
"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flashed and said, "How do you say this?"
Xu Lang said: "Your Highness only needs to win over two people?"
Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows and said, "What person?"
Xu Lang said: "One article and one martial arts?"
Zhu Gaoxu asked anxiously, "Who is it?"
Xu Lang's eyes flashed and said, "Yushi Li Jun, British Gong Zhang Fu?"
Outside the tomb of Liangxiang Leyi, Yang Zheng wiped the blood all over his body, and breathed a sigh of relief, after a fight just now, nearly five hundred soldiers, in addition to the fifty dead and wounded people of the Shenji Battalion, the soldiers of the ancient city of Hangzhou were only injured forty or fifty people, not that Zhang Yi's soldiers were much more powerful than the Shenji Battalion, but when Zhang Yi set off, because of the frequent practice of the Mandarin Duck Ancient Formation, everyone had a shield in their hands, although the eight hundred Jianghu people were good at martial arts, but they were not good at using strong crossbows, so a shot and killed, it seemed to be extremely fast, but the effect of killing was not very good, and the overall casualties were barely one hundred soldiers, compared to the other party's eight hundred Jianghu people, This casualty is indeed nothing, but Yang Zheng can't see half a point of joy in his eyes, looking at the more than 100 soldiers who fell in a pool of blood, he can't be happy, many of these people are still teenagers in their twenties, and before they have time to taste a good life, they are sleeping underground because of this assassination.
