Zhu Di had conceived many summoning scenes before, and had prepared a lot of rhetoric to deal with in front of the king, but now this scene and his father's rare encouragement were completely unexpected.

Looking at Zhu Di's touched and surprised expression, Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised, and continued to say with a smile: "I heard that you brought back dozens of cars this time, are they loaded with treasures captured by the Mongols, and you plan to present them to me?" ”

This question brought the scene back to the pattern of the monarch and the minister, and Zhu Di suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because he had made very full preparations for this, so he felt that he was much more comfortable at this moment than the homely conversation just now, and he replied calmly: "Back to my father, when I was fighting in the grassland, my son killed all the cattle and sheep captured as military food, so there was no surplus after returning to Beiping." The dozens of cars of the son were not filled with gold, silver and jewelry, but they were indeed the treasures that the son wanted to present to his father. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested in Zhu Di's answer: "Raising war with war is good strategy, and the famous generals of the ancients are nothing more than that." But you said that it was not gold or silver jewelry, but a treasure for me, but I thought it was interesting, and I quickly asked someone to come into the palace to show me. ”

"Erchen is bold, please ask my father to come out of the palace to take a look." Zhu Di raised his voice and was very confident.

"Out of the palace?" Zhu Yuanzhang was even more strange, "What can't be seen in the palace?" ”

Zhu Di pretended to be mysterious: "When the son returned to Beijing, he brought back three treasures to his father, which can also be said to be three great gifts, but the three treasures can only be seen outside the palace, and the palace is narrow and cannot be displayed, not to mention that the treasures are too powerful and will hurt the people in the palace." Please ask your father to show his dragon power again, put on the royal armor, and go to the school military field to read. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was interested, and it seemed that Zhu Di not only came prepared, but also planned to surprise himself. People are like this, once their interest is aroused, they will act immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang is also a person, he immediately ordered: "Come here, take my armor, I want to go and see the fourth child's gift." ”

The emperor went out of the palace, generally speaking, it was unimaginably powerful, but this time Zhu Yuanzhang went out of the palace, but it was surprisingly calm, except for the Long Xiangwei who was on duty to send hundreds of pro-army escorts, as well as several entourages of King Yan, the rest of the palace people and supervisors who accompanied him were less than ten people in total, and the horse team of hundreds of people came to the school military field like a gallop.

On the school military field, a group of more than 200 elite cavalry is waiting in line, a gust of wind whistled by, rolled up the front of the two flags, the flag grinned in the wind, it looked more majestic and majestic, on the two flags, one side was embroidered with the five words "Yanshan Guard", and the other flag only had two big characters of "flying feather", Zhu Yuanzhang was not interested in the two flags, but more than two hundred cavalry made his eyes shine, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, saw at a glance that the war horse under the crotch of the two hundred cavalry, They are all excellent Mongolian horses or Yinshan Hu horses, and each knight is a two-horse configuration, such a one-man two-horse configuration is the most powerful in the long-distance fierce battle. In addition, what attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's attention even more was that half of these cavalry were heavily armored iron horses, and the other half were leather armor.

With a roll of his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang understood, this is obviously Zhu Di's improved cavalry, which was brought back to the capital all the way to let me see it, it seems that these cavalry must have new tricks, otherwise the fourth child would not be so confident, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the cavalry with a smile and said, "This is the treasure you are talking about?" ”

Zhu Di said loudly: "Father, this is the first treasure of the son, the flying feather rider. Saying that, Zhu Di suddenly picked up a flag and waved it in the air, the leather cavalry saw the flag and immediately adjusted the formation, and at the same time each leather cavalry picked up a strange crossbow, Zhu Di waved the flag again, and the leather cavalry accelerated towards a row of targets a few arrows away, and after rushing for a while, he suddenly brushed on the horse's back, and at the same time held the crossbow flat, and the rows of crossbow arrows were shot out, and the well-informed Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded, because he clearly saw that the crossbows in the hands of the knights, Unexpectedly, seven crossbow arrows were shot in a row, and what surprised Zhu Yuanzhang even more was that most of the crossbow arrows could hit the target when they were fired from outside the ground, and their accuracy was so high that they could be imagined. In other words, when charging, this crossbow could be fired out of range of the Mongols' bows, and the Mongols had fallen in rows and remained unscathed.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Zhu Di and shouted excitedly: "What is the name of this crossbow?" ”

Zhu Di replied proudly: "Father, this is called the Beiping crossbow, the crossbow of Beiping Mongolia." While shouting, Zhu Di's order flag waved again, only to see that the ironclad cavalry of more than 100 people also moved, each of them picked up a firearm, quickly loaded the charge, and raised it flat, facing the pigs tied to the wooden stake a hundred steps away, snap and pop, more than 100 firearms fired at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly saw that those fat and strong pigs were instantly beaten into a sieve.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, with this Beiping crossbow and this firecracker army, why not be afraid of Mongolia, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, the desert can be leveled. Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he urged the horse to come to a leather-armored sergeant and stretched out his hand: "Your crossbow, try it for me." ”

Zhu Di hit the horse and followed Zhu Yuanzhang's horse, and when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to try the crossbow, he quickly dismounted and presented his crossbow hands to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, this is my son's crossbow, please try it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang took the crossbow with satisfaction and checked it in his hand, the crossbow was very heavy, about a dozen catties up and down, the workmanship was very fine, all parts were connected tightly, and the crossbow was lifted flat, and there was a sight at the front and rear ends of the crossbow, and the front and back two points and one line could be fired.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't put it down, he held the Beiping crossbow, turned around and said to Zhu Di with a smile: "This crossbow and fire gun, you found someone to get them?" ”

Zhu Di naturally wouldn't say that this was done by Linglong alone, because he didn't want his father to know that he was planning to weave talents, so he said with a smile: "Erchen's northern expedition, although a small victory, but quite emotional, our army's grain and grass morale are far superior to the Mongols, but every time the enemy is approached, the Mongolians' bows and arrows are really powerful, and our soldiers have suffered a lot of damage, so after returning to Beiping, his son made up his mind, offered a heavy reward, and secretly invited dozens of bow and crossbow and firearms craftsmen, and finally got these two things, Erchen thought, as long as our army can be equipped with a large number of equipment, In the future, when we encounter the Mongols again, our army will not have to fear their strong bows and arrows. ”

Looking at Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied: "It's rare that you put so much effort into it, if my sons are like you, why don't the Ming Dynasty be prosperous and stable, I ......" Saying, Zhu Yuanzhang was moved to red eyes, he felt a little out of shape, so he quickly changed the topic: "What about your second treasure?" ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, he saw Zhu Di waving the order flag a few times again. Those cavalry dismounted neatly, and ran to the dozens of carriages loaded with large boxes in a very orderly manner, and quickly opened the boxes, Zhu Yuanzhang understood, this box was loaded with artillery parts, some were cannon barrels, some were projectiles, and some were gun carriages, those cavalry were very skilled in assembling the cannons, and the six cannons appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, beat the horse back and forth, and shouted happily: "Come to two cannons, see how powerful it is?" ”

Zhu Di waved the flag, and the six cannons fired at the same time, all of them, and six hot fireballs roared out of the barrel and smashed into the open space in the distance, and the old high smoke and dust immediately flew up in the open space, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly, "In the Poyang Lake battle back then, if there were such cannons, why would I suffer the loss of Chen Youliang." ”

"Erchen is willing to dedicate these six cannons to His Majesty to supplement the defense of Gyeonggi and deter the Quartet." Zhu Di said.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't be more happy, "I have received my mind, don't worry, I won't ask for your cannon in vain, quickly take out your third treasure." ”

This time, Zhu Di did not wave the order flag, but turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's horse, took out a brocade package from his arms, raised his hands high, and respectfully presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this must be a very important thing, so he planned to reach out to pick it up, but he was now old and sore, and he could no longer lean over on the horse, bowed his head and tried, but he didn't reach it, so he planned to turn over and dismount, Zhu Di took two steps forward on his knees, straightened his waist, stretched his arms, and raised his hands high, Zhu Yuanzhang finally took over the burden, opened it, and was immediately deeply attracted, this is actually a map, a grassland map.

Zhu Di then opened his mouth to explain: "Erchen expedition to the north, deeply feel the disadvantages of no guide and no map, although Erchen has visited the Mongolian steppe, but only experienced a corner of the place, can not see the whole picture, after returning, the son of a lot of money to find dozens of familiar with Mongolia, often back to the grassland businessmen Hu and Han businessmen, gather and summarize their memories, draw this map, in the future I will conquer Mongolia again, this map can guide the way for the general of the army." ”

Today's Zhu Di even offered three treasures, these three treasures are not only to Zhu Yuanzhang's taste, but also one is more exciting, one is more pleasing than the other, one is more pleasing to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment, Zhu Di is extremely satisfied, this son is not only heroic and good at fighting, understands his own mind, but also can focus on the overall situation, start from a small place, share worries for the court, and most importantly, Zhu Di has a long-term vision, and every treasure can come in handy in the future.

This son is dedicated to the court, to the north of the Ping Domain, out of his own pocket to draw maps, get new weapons, and create an elite cavalry that is enough to restrain the Mongols, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this son, the more he looked at it, the more he loved it, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, if he handed over the country to the fourth child, what would it be like?

"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Zhu Yuanzhang is in a good mood, even if Zhu Di proposes to be the prince at this moment, it is estimated that he can agree.

Zhu Di saw that his father was so happy, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "The Beiping crossbow flying horse and the iron-armored fire gun heavy horse in front of you are the son's son who wasted the power of nine oxen and two tigers to expand, and his father Mingjian, just to build such a team of 200 elite soldiers, as well as draw maps and hire craftsmen to make crossbows, Erchen has emptied the private treasury of the palace." Speaking of this, Zhu Di was a little embarrassed: "Erchen is no longer able to support it, if His Majesty can ......"
