Chapter 44: It's Back
"Master, let's create another army!" Zhu Shou was playing with toys in the tent, and at some point Long Ji came to his side. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Huh?" Zhu Shou looked at Long Ji in surprise, what kind of army do you want to create now with the Fearless Battalion and the Xuanji Battalion?
Long Ji paused, knowing what Zhu Shou was thinking, he hurriedly explained: "The Fearless Battalion and the Xuanji Battalion are all infantry, and there is nothing to say when they charge into battle, but have you ever thought that the losses would be too serious. ’
Zhu Shou nodded, probably understanding what Long Ji meant, although the infantry he trained was very strong, but it was not good when it met cavalry.
"How did the Great Song Dynasty perish? What did Genghis Khan rely on to unify Mongolia back then? Long Ji continued to ask,
Zhu Shou slowly recalled that Zhang Hongwen had told himself about this problem, "At that time, the Great Song Dynasty was mainly infantry, and its combat effectiveness was naturally inferior to that of Jin and Mongolia, which were almost all cavalry, and finally defeated under the Mongol iron cavalry. ”
Long Ji nodded solemnly, "That's right, it's the Iron Horse!" We need Iron Riders. I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ambition will not be just a small place for the Ming Dynasty! ”
Long Ji is right, Zhu Shou's goal is not only so small, if he can, he wants to unify the world. It's not fun to be the head of a country, but it's much more fun to be the head of the world.
Iron cavalry needs a large number of horses and iron armor, this thing needs a lot of iron, and judging from the current resources of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not enough to build an iron cavalry. Zhu Shou shook his head: "At present, we can't meet that kind of requirement." ”
"Then we can train first, and we can send people all over the country to find the iron mine." Long Ji's eyes are shining, with the marksmanship he developed, coupled with the iron horse, he is simply invincible in the world! At this time, Long Jixiao's heart was a little swollen, which he had never thought of, and he only dared to think about it after meeting Zhu Shou again. Because the person in front of him is not an ordinary person,
After some weighing, Zhu Shou finally decided to agree with Long Ji's idea, training an iron horse is indeed only advantageous, and the disadvantage is nothing more than a waste of resources, but the Ming Dynasty is full of wounds in front of him, and the world is not yet peaceful, and the economy is prosperous, and the existence of pests will not last long, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's longevity, or for his own strong ambition. In short, there is no other way.
"Then it's up to you to do the whole thing." Finding iron ore to train the army is not something he can do, he can only give orders and give advice. They have to do the rest themselves.
"Yes!" The dragon bogey went down, and Zhu Shou began to fiddle with his toys again, somehow since he came to Daming, he has become more and more fond of playing with these children.
"Oops! How it's broken. Looking at the damaged toy in his hand, Zhu Shou frowned secretly, and an inexplicable sense of distress came to his head.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Liu Jin, who has disappeared for a long time, appeared,
Zhu Shou glared at Liu Jin, who had a head exposed on the other side of the tent, "Get out!" "The pro-sage chooses the villain!
"Hehe, the slave has a way to fix it for you." Liu Jin said with a smile, since he came out with Zhu Shou, he has been put in the logistics to cook, and sometimes he has to wash the clothes of the soldiers, which is unlucky, how good it is to be a eunuch in the palace.
"Oh?" Zhu Shouhu looked at Liu Jin suspiciously, there won't be any conspiracy in this guy, right? "Do you have a way?"
"Of course!" Liu Jin nodded seriously, "It's still the same as before!" ”
"Well, for the sake of how well you blow, you can try it." After speaking, Zhu Shou threw the slingshot over, hitting Liu Jin's forehead. "Ouch."
"You've got good news for your minions!" Liu Jin hurriedly took the slingshot back to his tent, "Fortunately, I'm prepared." I saw Liu Jin open a box, which was full of toys, and they were all exactly the same as Zhu Shou's. I'm afraid you won't be able to play badly. ”
Liu Jin took the new slingshot and went to Zhu Shou, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, take a look, I'll do it for you!" Zhu Shou looked at the new slingshot in Liu Jin's hand, his eyes lit up, "Oops! Lao Zhang, you really have you! You've really done a good job! ”
"Lao Zhang? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my surname is Liu. Liu Jin smiled bitterly,
"Whatever, whatever, you Liu Jin and Zhang Jin." Zhu Shou took the slingshot and played, and he would care what your surname was.
Zhu Shou played casually like this, Zhao Muyang trained his 500 heavy spirit camp, Zhou Xuan trained his fearless battalion, and Su Qi searched for materials all over the country to make gunpowder according to the new gunpowder formula given by Zhu Shou, which was also told to him by a neighbor veteran. Long Ji trained 10,000 recruits to learn to ride horses with guns. Tang Bohu actually set up a school in the camp when he had nothing to do, and Yun'er, Shame and others became his students.
Life went on day after day, Zhu Shou reformed, trained soldiers, mined iron ore, and cultivated horses, and equipped 10,000 iron horsemen in a year. Zhu Shou named this iron cavalry Yutianying, the reason for using this name is very simple, control the way of heaven, and rule the world only Yutianying.
This legendary iron cavalry will be comparable to the Mengjia army of the Qin Dynasty, the Yuejia army of the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, and even became the original form of the later Liaodong iron cavalry, which was also created by the Yutianying.
After two years of expeditions to the south and the north, Zhu Shou led an army of 50,000 to finally wipe out the grass of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty embarked on the real Hongzhi Zhongxing! The world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and gradually become rich. But this is not an absolute peace, the tenth year of the Ming Hongzhi Northern Yuan Tatar prince attacked the Chaohe River.
Zhu Youzhu was extremely shocked to learn the news, since the succession to the throne, the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, of course, it is forgivable to come to grab materials a few times occasionally, but how did there be a conflict this time.
Zhu Youzhu stood on top of the Dragon Court and asked expressionlessly, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
"The minister thinks that the world has just been peaceful, and the grass has just been eliminated, so there should be no more fighting!"
"Nonsense! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just revived the national style, why did he cower at this juncture? The ministers ask Your Majesty to let the ministers lead our Ming soldiers to fight to the death with the Tatars! Liu Daxia said,
"Our cabinet has also agreed to fight again after deliberation! I heard that the prince has 10,000 iron horsemen called the Yutian Camp, and it can be fought according to the views of the ministers! Li Dongyang said,
Zhu Youzhu glanced at these ministers who asked for war very optimistically, "He is worthy of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty." The prince has been fighting outside for two years, and it's time to come back. This time, let me take the lead in person! Meet these hateful Tatars! ”
"Your Majesty, you must not!" After listening to Zhu Youjiao's words, the ministers were so frightened that they hurriedly persuaded him, the prince and the prince don't study hard and fight outside all day long, and you, the emperor, also want to learn from him? Isn't Daming messed up?
Zhu Youzhu insisted on going his own way, and it was difficult for the ministers to persuade him, "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say much!" "Although Zhu Youzhu is very proud of his son being so good, he can't be compared to his son, right? Even if he can't compare, let him know that his son's Lao Tzu is not cowardly.
At the same time, Zhu Shou also led the army to return to the court.
The ministers and Zhu Youzhu argued, Zhu Shou walked to the door of the main hall and looked at his cheap father whose hair was already half white, and tears flowed down his eyes under excitement, "Father! Erchen is back! ”
