Since the invasion of the Northern Yuan Pingzhang barbarians, to Xu Da personally led the army north to assist Zhu Di, the king of Yan, but in just two months or so, the battle situation of the Ming Dynasty in the north has been greatly improved, first of all, Xu Da sat in Beiping, Yan Wang Zhu Di personally led the army to counterattack, although the Northern Yuan cavalry came and went freely, but plundered a large number of baggage can not go fast, was pursued by Zhu Di, captured more than 2,000 people, killed more than 600 people, and recaptured countless baggage.

Secondly, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, also personally led the army of Yang Hewei, Gao Shanwei, and Tianchengwei to chase the Northern Yuan army to Jining Haizi.

This place is outside the Yanmen, the terrain is dangerous, the middle of the sea is low-lying, there are relatively low hills on both sides, it is very suitable for cavalry to attack, but the Northern Yuan cavalry does not attack, but with a small force to constantly harass, come and go, chase and flee.

The Mongolian cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, although after nearly a hundred years of sinking gradually lost their blood, but in the end of the Yuan Dynasty in hundreds of battles, they gradually awakened the nature of the nomads, although their swords and armor could not catch up with the sharpness of the Ming army, they did not have the artillery of the Ming army, but they were still the world's first-class cavalry troops, coming and going quickly, the cavalry charged fiercely like thunder, and the arrows rained down.

Although the Ming army also had many excellent cavalry, it was still difficult to catch up.

Many times, the Ming gathered a large army to go out to look for the Northern Yuan to fight, and both sides spent most of the time chasing and hiding in the desert......

Ming Jun is like a powerful swordsman, although he has practiced peerless swordsmanship, his opponent is a group of mosquitoes who are good at raiding.

At this moment, the Chinese army is in the big tent.

The third son of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, had a long beard hanging down his chest, holding an eagle letter in his left hand, and gently brushing his beard with his right hand, his eyebrows flashed.

Since childhood, he studied literature in Hanlin bachelor Song Lian, and learned books in the record of Du Huan, he not only has Zhu Yuanzhang's resourceful character, but also has a slender and strong figure and can be military, but his eyebrows and eyes have a little charm of Queen Ma.

History: Eyebrows and eyes, beautiful beard, looking forward to dignified, and more intelligent.

When it comes to appearance, he can be said to be the most well-groomed vassal king among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons.

"Military Chinese books, all use simplified characters, and implement Juntian land reform?"

Zhu Li looked at the content of the eagle letter, and couldn't help but read it softly, he put down the eagle letter, frowned and pondered, if he said that the vassal king who was facing the greatest pressure in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, in fact, the most pressure now was his Jin king Zhu Wei.

In the Jin Dynasty and other places, the Great Wall had not yet been built, the passes were missing, and the Northern Yuan cavalry often came to plunder.

Today's Northern Yuan cavalry is no longer tough with the Ming army, they began to use the tactics of wolves, looking for the defensive loopholes of the Ming Nine Frontier Guards, continuous looting and harassment, coupled with the Jin Dynasty and other places of the landlords and Buddha heads through the north, so that the Jin King Zhu Li not only had to grasp the military strongly, but also had to diligently repair internal affairs, and do a good job in the military and civilian tuntian.

As a result, there are now a lot of military leaders under him who eat the blood of soldiers and drink military households.

There are many wars in Jindi, and the command of each guard post and the authority of thousands of households are extremely heavy, so it has become a tacit rule to bend the law for bribes and embezzle people's land. The military leaders of this era were originally vicious wolves who drank the blood of soldiers, since Zhu Li wanted to use them to fight, he couldn't be too demanding, not to mention that there were many military leaders, and they were once born as generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and they were forced to rebel on the spot.

The common people in the Jin Dynasty and other places were even more miserable, the military leaders encroached on the fields of the landlords and squires in various parts of the Jin Dynasty, and the landlords and squires went to defraud the ordinary people, the big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate the shrimp.

Some landlords and squires, as well as the monks of the temple, even bluntly said that when the Mongols were there, I and other landlords and squires were still worry-free, and the Ming army came and invaded my land!

Therefore, many landlords, squires and monks simply carried the gold and silver wrapped in their family property, and directly voted for the Northern Yuan, or secretly reported the news.

Even if it is Zhu Li, there is no way, the feudal military leader nature of this era makes him unable to maintain too much military discipline, he pinched the eagle letter and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "Dad, we also want to Juntian, but you have to ask me if those military leaders under me agree?" ”

Zhu Li's wry smile was also a last resort.

"If I say Juntian today, tomorrow I will be commanded by the guard, and I will buy the cook to poison my diet......"

When Zhu Lifang came to Jindi to take up the domain, he found that the discipline of the commanders of the guard post here was erosive, and the encroachment of fertile land was very rampant, and the people did not think about the Ming Dynasty, but opposed the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

He made a lot of efforts to rectify it, and the result was ......

As a result, Zhu Li's diet was secretly poisoned and almost poisoned to death.

Zhu Li was furious about this and beat the cook, which alarmed Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang personally wrote to him, warning him to be very careful, Zhu Yuanzhang's original words were: "I am handsome and heroic to calm the trouble, not to be appeased." Xu Xingzu, a lone chef, has not been humiliated for 23 years. The grievance is not big, the kid knows it. ”

What this means is that your father and I have been in charge of the army for decades, and I will never tolerate the mistakes of the military leaders, but only my chef Xu Xingzu, who has served me for 23 years, I never dared to humiliate him, you don't anger the people around you because of a little resentment, boy, you have to get to know each other!

This is to warn Zhu Li, you have no problem dealing with the corrupt soldiers under your subordinates, you must pay attention to ways and means, know the current affairs, distinguish priorities, and how can you blame your own chef, your father and I dare not blame your own cook, the military head can avoid buying the chef to poison you, but you beat your own chef, and the chef poisoned you, can you hide?

In the past month or so, the senior generals of the Ming Dynasty in the Northern Guard, the vassal kings, have deeply felt that there are some changes in the imperial court, these changes are relatively novel and practical, such as the imperial court to each command level of the generals, have issued Suzhou Mansion polished telescope, this mirror can see far away, convenient for the generals to observe the enemy, there is a new type of more convenient "cotton armor" began to equip, this armor only made a few sample armor, only Jin King Zhu Li and Yan Wang Zhu Di, Xu Da This level of generals can try on, It is made of cotton grown in Jiangnan and other places by the Emperor Ming, and the appearance is convenient, and the iron armor is lined with light and strong ceramic pieces.

This kind of cotton armor is different from the iron armor of the Song and Yuan dynasties, which is often fifty or sixty pounds, and it is light and protective.

In the Song Dynasty, the Jiangnan generation has cotton, to the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of cotton plants in the Jiangnan generation, and now the cotton cloth of the Ming Dynasty is mostly exported to the west of the Wa Kingdom, and the clothes made of the cotton cloth of the Daming Jianghuai are called "Wu Fu" by the Wa people.

There are also subtle changes, less noticeable, but they are happening. The camel caravan that traded with the Northern Yuan Dynasty not only had colored people and folk Han merchants, but also a few caravans were mixed in, others did not know, but Zhu Li knew that these caravans were played by the spies of Jinyiwei, one of them was to gather monks and lamas who had a degree, and went to the grassland to send doctors to spread Buddhism, and the other was to sell luxury goods, and explored a lot of information from the desert.

The caravans for transporting grain and grass also increased, and they used more spacious carriages with axles, which were more suitable for the ravines and mountain roads of the north, and could also transport more grain and grass.

At the same time, a two-wheeled trolley, specially used to transport grain, grass and baggage in the army, and a unique four-wheeled cart, in addition to four wheels, is also installed with six movable bearings, equipped with six small wheels, when pushing artillery, it is more convenient and labor-saving in the ravines and mountains......

This is something that has not been done before.

Along with the eagle letter, there were several other books, one of which was called "Fortress Fortress Science".

Zhu Li picked up the book, flipped a few pages casually, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at it for a while, his solemn face slowed slightly, he nodded again and again, he pondered, picked up the brush from the side, and began to write a letter to his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Juntian land reform, this system is very good, but the nine border towns, the military heads are numerous, the guards are seriously embezzled, if the Juntian to the household, I am afraid of the people upheaval, just because the border army is not obedient, the matter of Juntian will inevitably encroach on the good people's land, so the sons and daughters of the court, the direct official Tian Huangtian can be even, and the military field of the nine border guards can not be easily land reform......"

He picked up the eagle letter again, read it carefully, showed a solemn expression, and couldn't help but think of his younger brother Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was in Beiping, because it was once the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and there were many Northern Yuan spies, which can be called the base camp of the Northern Yuan spies in the world, Zhu Di was not so stable in Beiping, not to mention the land reform, just subduing the old Northern Yuan people in Beiping and dealing with the constant harassment of the Northern Yuan cavalry, it is a difficult thing.

He also thought of his second brother Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, and he didn't know what his relationship with Guanyin Nu was now, and whether he inquired about the news of the jade seal of the country.

If Zhu Wei can take down Guanyin slave Wang Min'er, it can greatly reduce the pressure on Qin, Jin, and Yan, Wang Baobao was the right prime minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, with a lot of soldiers and horses, and now Wang Baobao is falling, but his younger brother Timur still has more than 100,000 cavalry, and Wang Baobao's other younger brother King Kong Nu was accepted as a righteous son by his father Zhu Yuanzhang......

Zhu Li thought about it and prepared to write two more letters, one to Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, and one to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

"Brother King Qin, how are you doing recently? The younger brother is very good, only the love affair between the elder brother and Wang Min ......"
