Chapter Eighty-Eight: Blue Jade's Personal Attack

As soon as the provocative remarks of General Lan Yu on the southern battlefield were published, it caused an uproar, neither the people nor the military in the north could not have imagined that General Lan Yu would ridicule General Xu Da, and now, there are many cities in the north of the Ming Dynasty that have newspapers, and the speed of transmission of news is much faster than before, and the entire public opinion is on the cusp.

"This blue jade! It's not that I don't want to go to war in the north! It's the Tian Yuan Emperor in the north who withdraws his troops! Xu Da, who has always been steady, couldn't sit still, he knew in his heart that Lan Yu and Hu Weiyong were old acquaintances, and this time it was aimed at himself to show off his exploits in the Southern Theater.

Although the military achievements of the northern theater are not bad, it did not cost a soldier to take five cities, compared with the south, it is indeed a small thing, nearly half of the cities in the Guizhou battlefield of the southern battlefield are open to the Ming Dynasty, once Guizhou is taken, the next is the Yunnan battlefield, the Yunnan battlefield is the most important, take Yunnan, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains will be exhausted.

On the battlefield in the north, Emperor Tian Yuan took the Mongolian soldiers to shrink into his own territory, if the Ming Dynasty went deep into the north, it would not be so easy to take it, and he needed the help of other generals, which Xu Da and Lan Yu both knew, at the moment, Lan Yu's ridicule of himself Xu Da could only endure it, he had to admit that with the newspaper, even Lan Yu's ridicule and provocation against him could be published on it so that he could receive this message as soon as possible, and it could be regarded as General Lan Yu publicly expressing that he and General Xu Da were at odds.

"General, what does this General Lan want?" Xu Da's non-commissioned officers also read the newspaper, and some were a little puzzled about what Lan Yu did, and some people even wanted to find Lan Yu with Xu Da to get angry, after all, in terms of reputation, General Lan Yu couldn't compare to Xu Da's status in Daming, no matter how Xu Da said it, he was also the prime minister before, Lan Yu could only rely on Hu Weiyong's fox fake tiger might, and now that Hu Weiyong is gone, it can be said that Lan Yu is completely relying on himself to make a name for himself.

"This blue jade, if you want to taunt me from a spiritual victory, forget it, let him go, after all, we adults have a lot of them, so we don't care about him in general." Xu Da stretched his waist and put the newspaper aside, not taking Lan Yu to heart, but instead looking at gossip anecdotes that he didn't usually like to read.

In the newspaper, Zhu Di couldn't help but ask the writer in charge of printing and publishing, "How do you review the articles?" Can this be published? Is this to embarrass General Xu? ”

Zhu Di was very helpless, but not only the newspaper in Beiping recorded this article full of ridicule, but even other newspapers and magazines he opened recorded this article, which made him very helpless, he was very angry, Xu Da had a very good relationship with him, but he didn't expect that Lan Yu's article mocking Xu Da was printed in the newspaper, how could he be embarrassed?

"Fourth Highness, this has nothing to do with us, even the Yingtian Daily in Nanjing City also published this article, Your Majesty let it go, we are also in order to compete with Your Majesty's newspapers!" The scolded workers were very helpless, they were nothing more than fighting against His Majesty's Yingtian Daily, in order to grab business and the competitiveness of the newspaper industry, they had no choice but to publish bad remarks about General Xu Da, who didn't know the relationship between his own master, His Royal Highness and General Xu Da, just to point out the fierce information and eyeballs, so he made this decision.

"Forget it, I understand your good intentions, and you are also for competition, I can understand it, so I don't blame you." Zhu Di sighed, very helpless, after all, there is no Yingtian Daily of his father, and it is estimated that his newspaper will not grab these headlines that are not friendly to Xu Da for a little traffic news, this time, he miscalculated.

By Zhu Di's side, Ma Sanbao didn't say anything, in his previous life, the news published in the newspaper may be even more excessive than the current news, the paparazzi at that time had no lower limit, and the attack on life was more serious than this Lan Yu's attack on Xu Da, he thought, in history, Lan Yu was also one of the members of Hu Weiyong's case, but Lan Yu was found later, so there was a lot of good time.

"Let's go, come to the door with me to apologize, this is published, where will General Xu Da's face go? Under this public opinion, isn't General Xu Da on the blade? Zhu Di was a little impatient, at the moment Lan Yu's actions were undoubtedly hanging the blade on Xu Da's neck, provoking Xu Da if the progress could not catch up with Lan Yu would be absolutely embarrassing, Zhu Di didn't want General Xu to be so wronged, he never thought that General Lan Yu would be disrespectful to General Xu Da, both sides are generals, and they have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't expect to tear it up now.

In Xu Da's mansion, Zhu Di took his subordinates and Ma Sanbao to visit the door, and when he saw Zhu Di himself, Xu Da immediately understood what Zhu Di meant, he came to apologize, but Xu Da didn't take this matter to heart, there are different variables in different war zones, why be angry because of Lan Yu's words?

"Fourth Highness, why bother to apologize? There's no need, what Lan Yu did, you published it and it wasn't your deliberate provocation, the source of all this is Lan Yu, I didn't take it to heart, if you do this, it's not easy to find you next time I march and fight! Xu Da said helplessly, Fourth Highness Zhu Di insisted on apologizing, he could only threaten His Royal Highness with His Royal Highness's favorite marching battle, besides, Zhu Di is now a general in Zhenbei, if he does not participate in the war in the north, he is sorry for his identity and position.

Xu Da was reluctant to accept the apology, Zhu Di didn't insist, he himself was not a particularly stubborn person, the article published in the newspaper was his negligence, but in the final analysis, Lan Yu's mouth was to blame, if Lan Yu hadn't made a mockery of Xu Da, maybe all this would not have become so tense, and the relationship between them would have eased.

"Lan Yu, this person, sooner or later will be punished, General, Your Highness, let's just watch." Ma Sanbao said, suddenly, he was a little lost in his heart, the news of Lan Yu's death General Xu Da could not see, don't look at Xu Da is only middle-aged now, but in history, he will die because of the recurrence of old diseases, so many years have left a lot of diseases in his body, Ma Sanbao has no way to treat it, after all, he is not Hua Tuo, he does not have that kind of ability.

.................................

Nanjing City, in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw Lan Yu's provocation to Xu Da published in Yingtian Daily, Yingtian Daily is his industry, he does not fall in every issue, seeing Lan Yu's provocation to Xu Da, he touched his chin with great interest, both of them are generals under their command, and they have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and now the two do not deal with each other, especially Lan Yu took the lead in a war of words, which attracted the attention of His Majesty today.

"Your Majesty, in the eyes of the minister, this blue jade is excessive, although Lan Yu has made a lot of military exploits on the battlefield of Yungui, but Xu Da is also His Majesty's right-hand man, Lan Yu is afraid that this time it is not related to Hu Weiyong, Lan Yu and Hu Weiyong have an affair, or..."

"Lan Yu is a little too much, but he is also my famous general of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, don't mention Hu Weiyong's name, I am annoyed when I hear about Hu Weiyong now, I think I treat him well, I didn't expect him to be a rebel against the party, against me! Did my Daming treat him badly? Zhu Yuanzhang said, there is no example of rebellion by his subordinates without the founding emperor in history, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to, he started from scratch and finally sat in the position of the emperor, naturally he took this position very seriously, Hu Weiyong touched his bottom line, he naturally chose to kill without mercy" I believe that Lan Yu will not follow Hu Weiyong's old path, Lan Yu may just be young and vigorous, and he will not accept Xu Da, I really hope that they will compete, and only a competitive army can be called an army, compete for military merit, compete for merit, Competition for positions is actually normal, and only when there is competition can you be called a general. ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the prince was still a little worried, as a eunuch, he should not have interfered in Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking, but Lan Yu's personal attack on Xu Da made the prince a little worried about the relationship between these generals, the relationship between the generals is not good, once there is cooperation in the future, maybe he will backstab another general, especially in his opinion, Lan Yu and Hu Weiyong have a bad relationship, and the relationship between Xu Da and Hu Weiyong is very stiff, these two are likely to make things difficult for each other because of a trivial matter, the war is imminent, and the Northern Yuan has not yet been led, Neither the people nor the imperial court were willing to see the news of the internal friction of the Ming general.

Zhu Yuanzhang is indifferent to the relationship between Lan Yu and Xu Da, and the civil and military officials are very worried, but at the moment, Zhu Yuanzhang does not listen, they have no way, especially Wang Guangyang, who was recently released, the old man can know the fate of the internal friction of the Ming generals, thinking that Hu Weiyong was not used to seeing Liu Ji poisoning the latter, and the internal friction consumes a lot of vitality of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Ming people believe in the unwarranted thing of luck, once the luck of the great country is consumed by internal friction, once the foreign Northern Yuan takes this opportunity to attack the Ming Dynasty, The Ming will soon be captured by the Ming.

Far away in the battlefield of Yungui, Lan Yu also received the articles recorded in Yingtian Daily and Beiping Daily, he remembered his interview vividly, and the interview records of the two daily newspapers were very detailed, he was very satisfied, and expressed what he wanted to express, but Lan Yu also knew Xu Da very well, and he understood that some of his verbal attacks might be difficult to affect Xu Da, after all, Xu Da had also been the role of prime minister, but he was not so easily shaken by words.

"Today another city has been captured, you continue to write articles in a questioning tone, remember, you must use the momentum of questioning, so that those guys in the north have no place to be ashamed!" Lan Yu showed off in front of the reporters, complacent.
