Chapter 397: Honest Second Brother

Zhu Yunxi was listening to the crowd touting the strict military discipline of the Ming Dynasty, and the armor was clear, when he suddenly heard a commotion from under the city wall, and his face was also stunned.

Several southwest toasts who were touting Daming also shut up when they saw this.

It's really shooting someone in the foot.

I and the others are just bragging for Daming, why do you still blow up the accident?

Lu Song, the envoy of the DPRK, smiled slightly when he saw this, and said with disdain.

"It is said that the Ming army is strictly disciplined, and it is nothing more than that......

Annan's envoy Nguyen Zongliang also had a playful smile on his face.

Annan has always been dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, or the central dynasty of any dynasty.

Even if the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties beat them into three grandsons in turn, they still relied on the mountains and seas to oppose the central dynasty and secretly poke and poke the ground to make stumbling blocks.

Therefore, now that they see that the discipline of the Ming army is slack, their hearts are much happier.

If this is a big wave of publicity after returning to China, it can be regarded as boosting the morale of Annan.

It's just a pity that there is one regret, that is, the secret edict of King Chen Hao, begging the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help Annan get rid of the female cadre Hu Jichen.

However, looking at the current degree of decay of the Ming Dynasty's military discipline, even if the old emperor has the heart to support, he has no power to support, right?

However, for Ruan Zongliang, the secret decree he brought was just a matter of incidentality, even if Chen Hao, the emperor, was deposed, he would still be an official in the new dynasty, and it would not have much impact on him.

It's just that Hu Jichen is unkind, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to share wealth and prosperity.

At the time of the Ming Dynasty's singing and dancing, the entire Daming cultural circle has been unstable.

Japan was in the period of the two emperors of the north and south, and he had the power to control the government of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

The Korean Peninsula was also not peaceful, and Yi Sung-gye had just ended the Goryeo Dynasty, turning the Goryeo Dynasty into the Joseon Dynasty and opening a new chapter in Lee's Joseon.

Annan, located in the southwest corner, was also uneasy, and his cousin Hu Jichen was plotting to usurp the throne, intending to change Lee's Annan to Hu's Annan.

However, they finally have a little self-knowledge, that is, they dare not go against Da Ming.

Even if it is against it, he only dares to make some small moves secretly, and after doing the small actions, he has to hurry to pay tribute, for fear of provoking the dragon of Daming.

Therefore, a small mistake in the Ming military exercise can also allow them to regain a lot of national self-esteem.

Zhu Yunxi listened to the ridicule of the North Korean envoy, and secretly thought in his heart that some things really haven't changed for hundreds of years.

One day, he will make the golden ou flawless!

"Wang De, go and inquire, who is making noise below?"

"No!"

Under the city wall, the guards of Jingying, Jinyiwei, Yulinwei, Jinghaijun, and the feudal kings of various places were arranged in turn.

The other vassal kings had no opinion on their ranking, but Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was very unhappy and asked Mei Yin, who was in charge of this military exercise, why did his army rank behind the bullshit Jing Navy?

Mei Yin saw that it was Zhu Fan's thorn, and suddenly felt a big head.

Among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, the second eldest Zhu Fan is not a thing. Greedy and brutal, extravagant, and the people who will be governed by the country are not to mention the people's livelihood, but at least the road to the goal.

He also likes to talk about pomp and circumstance, and always regards himself as the head of the world's vassal kings, and he has to take the lead everywhere. ….

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Jing Haijun is His Royal Highness the Taisun's own army!"

If you are a normal person, you will stop hearing this. However, Zhu Fan is not normal, and by virtue of his own military exploits in Xi'an, he ignores everyone.

"It's true that Zhu Yunxi is the grandson of the emperor, but he is a lonely nephew in his later life, how can there be a nephew in front of his uncle in this world!"

"Hurry up and let him retreat to the last side and bring the lone army to the front!"

"Otherwise, even if Lone agrees, the sergeant under Lone will not agree!"

After Zhu Fan shouted these words, the guards behind him immediately raised their spears and made noise.

"No!"

"No!"

Mei Yin looked at this battle

, really angry and scared. is angry that Zhu Fan is ignorant, and he is afraid of attracting His Majesty's dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, as soon as the soldiers finished clamoring here, he saw Erhu running over on a fast horse.

"Who's clamoring here?"

Zhu Fan is a mixed bag, but he still has responsibility.

As soon as he saw Erhu coming, he knew that the old man knew about it, and immediately stood up.

"Is Lone clamoring, do the two tiger brothers want to cut Lone?"

When Erhu saw that the person making trouble was King Qin, his face suddenly showed the same ugly expression as Mei Yin.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, today's military exercise is a ceremony of the imperial court, and there are still a few vassal states and southwest Tusi watching it, can't you save some face for the imperial court?"

Zhu Zhang's eyelids rolled over.

"The imperial court didn't save face for our vassal kings, so why should we save face for the imperial court?"

"Don't talk about Lonely, just talk about the military camp you arranged for Lonely, what kind of place does it take for birds not to?"

"Besides, the rice and vegetables you provided to the lonely guards, even if the rice grains are counted, the vegetables are all rotten leaves!"

"Are you sending Hanako?"

In fact, Zhu Fan has endured it for a long time.

They traveled thousands of miles to the capital to participate in military exercises, and the court was not good at entertaining them, so they made things difficult for them everywhere.

It's not that you can't live, or you eat too badly. He also crammed thousands of people into a small camp, and he didn't even dare to pee at night, for fear of hurting his own people.

When the other vassal kings heard King Qin's complaint, they also applauded.

Only Zhu Li came over to persuade him.

"Second brother, who is not like this?"

"Besides, let's stay in the capital for a few days, and we'll go back to the fiefdom after the military exercise, you can't just let the court build you a barracks for these few days, right?"

"Bear with me, let's get through the day first!"

Zhu Di also came over and pretended to persuade.

"The third brother is right, we don't have the third brother's life, we live directly in the Jinghai Navy camp, what's wrong with eating chaff vegetables, this is our life......

Zhu Li just wanted to echo Zhu Di, saying that Zhu Di was right, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi, the bad species, actually scolded themselves in a roundabout way.

"Zhu Di, what do you mean by that?"

"I've been in the capital for more than ten days, and I only went to the Jing Navy yesterday, and I only brought a few hundred people over, when did I do specialization?"

Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said with a disdainful expression.

"The third brother is right!"

"The third brother has always lived with us, and he eats the same pig food, but we are poor and can't afford to buy dried meat and rice wine, so we can only starve our subordinates ...... stomachs....

Zhu Li suddenly felt a little weak when he heard this.

To tell the truth, he did eat a few small stoves these days, and it was still the labor army supplies sent by his eldest nephew himself.

Now that he was caught by the little tail, he didn't know how to defend himself for a while.

Seeing that several vassal kings had to make trouble for a while, Erhu hurriedly beat his horse and went back to tell Lao Zhu about the matter here, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to decide.

As soon as Lao Zhu heard that Zhu Fan and Zhu Di were stirring up trouble, the old face pulled down on the spot.

He wanted to order someone to whip these two rebels, but he was afraid that the two rebels would make a bigger move and throw people abroad.

But if they don't deal with it, the two of them will toss for a while, and Daming's face will be lost.

Just when Lao Zhu was hesitating, Zhu Yunxi walked over.

Zhu Yunxi also learned about what happened next from Wang De, and when he thought of the emperor's grandfather's calf protector's temperament, he knew that the old man must have fallen into the multiple-choice question of meat on the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly came to Lao Zhu's side, picked up the two golden cups on Lao Zhu's table, poured them full of wine, and ordered someone to send them to Zhu Fan and Zhu Di.

Qin Deshun looked at Lao Zhu, then at Zhu Yunxi, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Lao Zhu also looked at Da in surprise

Sun, I can't figure out what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

"Eldest grandson, what do you mean by giving wine to the two uncles?"

"Could it be that you want to add fuel to the fire and want the two of them to get drunk and continue to make trouble?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, just ask Grandpa Qin to send the wine over."

"The two uncles are extremely smart, they can stop as long as they see the wine glass."

"This?"

Lao Zhu looked unconvinced, but seeing that the eldest grandson was firm, he still gave Qin Deshun a look.

Qin Deshun understood, and hurriedly went down to the city gate tower with two glasses of wine.

Seeing that Qin Deshun had already left, Lao Zhu grabbed the eldest grandson's hand and flicked it at his head.

"Bad boy, why should I say this time?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled strangely when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, have you forgotten the allusion to the golden cup and drinking together?"

Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.

"Reverse Sun, you can figure it out, hahaha!"

On the other side, Zhu Fan was fanning the flames under Zhu Di's instigation, arguing with Mei Yin, insisting on raising the position of his army, and encouraging other younger brothers to follow suit.

King Zhou saw that the fourth brother of his compatriots was on the field, so he naturally made a fuss.

However, when they were at their most jubilant, they saw Qin Deshun walking over with a tray.

"King Qin and King Yan take the order!"

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di heard their father's will, and hurriedly turned over, dismounted, and knelt on the ground.

"My son's congratulations to my father, Emperor Jin'an!"

"Your Majesty's dictation, I will give the two of you a glass of imperial wine!"

"Imperial wine?"

Zhu Fan was ready to be scolded for a long time, and it was even possible to be whipped by the old man.

However, the only thing he didn't think about was giving wine.

Could it be that the old man is encouraging me?

Zhu Di didn't feel as good about himself as Zhu Zhang, and after hearing the "wine", his heart jumped "suddenly".

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

The old man's move must contain a particularly deep intention. ….

With this in mind, Zhu Di's brain spun fast when he looked at the tray again.

Sake ...... Jinbei ......

Oh my God, the golden cup!

Lone understands, the old man is warning himself, the golden cup is drunk together, and the white blade is not forgiven!

The old man is murderous!

When Zhu Di thought of this, when he looked at the two glasses of wine on the tray again, his face became very unnatural.

He trembled and raised his wine glass and respectfully said to Qin De.

"I also asked Gonggong Qin to go back and tell his father, just say that Zhu Di knew that he was wrong, and this would be a good way to restrain the soldiers, and there would never be any more noise!"

Qin Deshun smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then looked at King Qin on the side.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, is it your turn?"

King Qin picked up his wine glass, looked at Zhu Di, who was reluctant to drink, and then looked at Qin Deshun, who was smiling and groaning, and blurted out a question.

"Father-in-law Qin, there won't be poison in this wine, right?"

When Qin Deshun heard this, his eyelids drooped on the spot, and he didn't even bother to look at King Qin.

He discovered that King Qin's kid had a hole in his brain.

With such a grand scene, even if the emperor hates him so much that the roots of his teeth itch, it is impossible to poison him!

"His Royal Highness King Qin will not accept the order!"

Seeing Qin Deshun urging himself like this, King Qin was even more sure that there was something wrong with this wine, and secretly wondered in his heart, he was just playing a little temper, should the old man really want to kill himself?

"Father-in-law Qin, you wait for a while!"

After Zhu Fan said this, he immediately pulled Zhu Di to the side.

"Fourth, have you guessed something, tell the second brother!"

"Second brother, haven't you heard the allusion that the golden cup drinks together, and the white blades do not forgive each other?"

"What kind of allusion is this?"

"What His Majesty said to Ru Taisu after Hu Weiyong's case, not long after saying this, he killed Ru Taisu......

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhu Fan also heard about Ru Taisu, but he forgot for a while that there was also the "Golden Cup" thing. Now hearing Zhu Di's analysis, he was shocked into a cold sweat on the spot.

"I can't!"

"Father, won't he want the lives of the two of us because of this little thing?"

Zhu Di also felt that he couldn't, but when he thought of what happened to him, he thought about dragging Zhu Fan into the water.

"Second brother, my father just finished renovating Lan Yu a few days ago, if there is no Zhu Yunxi to stop him, the soil on Lan Yu's grave is cold now!"

"In order to open the way for his eldest nephew, my father is willing to kill even a fierce general like Lan Yu, not to mention our elderly vassal kings......

Zhu Fan heard this, and his heart beat a drum.

To tell the truth, he just wanted to block the old man, but he didn't want to put his life into it.

"Thank you fourth brother for solving your doubts, and the second brother will take the order to thank you!"

Zhu Fan threw down Zhu Di and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the wine glass.

"Thank you for your father's grace!"

"The sons and daughters must strictly restrain the soldiers and stop causing trouble to their father!"

Qin Deshun saw that both of them had received their orders, and hurriedly ran back to restore their lives.

After Lao Zhu learned the reaction of his two sons, he looked at Zhu Yunxi with a stronger smile.

This rebel grandson really has two hits, and he only scared the two uncles Wang with just two golden cups, hahaha!

At this moment, Qin Tianjian came to say that the auspicious time had come. ….

Lao Zhu saw that the auspicious time had arrived, and immediately announced the official start of the military exercise.

In the sound of military drums, the three thousand tiger benders carefully selected by the Beijing camp were neatly draped and rode on high-headed horses from the viewing platform slowly.

Lao Zhu stood on the city wall, looking at the Ming sergeant below, and couldn't help but show a smug look on his face.

This is the confidence that he dares to kill all his subordinates, Chen Bing Mobei!

As long as the Ming soldiers are always so brave, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are as strong as steel cast iron!

After Lao Zhu was proud, his eyes subconsciously fell to the side of the imperial grandson, watching the reaction of the envoys of the feudal kingdom on the imperial grandson's side.

Lu Song, the Korean envoy, was lying on the city wall to see the Ming army's formation, and saw that the cavalry in the Ming army could still maintain a solemn queue even when they were marching, and he secretly sighed in his heart.

Such elite people are really rare in the world!

Annan envoy Ruan Zongliang, who has always felt good about himself, also became much more respectful when he saw the cavalry phalanx of the Ming Dynasty.

In his opinion, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, whether in height or momentum, are not comparable to the soldiers of Annan.

It is very appropriate to describe the Ming army as mighty and majestic.

Comparatively speaking, the Japanese king Fuji Yushou is much calmer. First, he saw several Ming military exercises, and second, the Ming warships could not sail to Japan, and the Ming Dynasty could not help them even if it had millions of soldiers.

Aren't the 100,000 soldiers of Dayuan, who was at the height of the year, all for fish?

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to fight Japan, how to transport these majestic cavalry over was the biggest problem.

The southwestern toasts were not surprised, in other words, the reason why they stayed on the city wall to watch the ceremony was because of the Ming army below.

If they hadn't been able to defeat the Ming army, how could they have abandoned their homes and businesses and ran to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute?

After the Beijing camp was the array of Jinyi Wei and Yu Linwei.

Jin Yiwei's clothes were gorgeous, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's applause. Yu Linwei's queue was neat, and he also received a lot of cheers.

After the two armies was Zhu Yunxi's Jing Navy.

Compared with the elite of the previous units, no matter how much the Jing Navy is trained, it is only a new army, and the immature color on the faces of the soldiers cannot fade no matter what.

In addition, they have not undergone actual combat drills, and they are far inferior to the three armies in front of them in terms of power.

But there is finally an advantage, that is, the queue of the Jing Navy is quite neat. When marching, you can also change your movements and shout the corresponding slogans, which gives people a refreshing feeling.

Lao Zhu was quite considerate of the Jing Navy, and as soon as this army came over, he stared at two eyes.

In general, Lao Zhu is still satisfied, this army is good in terms of military appearance and military appearance, and what is even more rare is that it is like a rainbow, like a little tiger in a cage.

It's just that these soldiers are too young, they haven't seen blood yet, and they have a little less murderous aura on their bodies, which gives people a sense of shortcomings.

But for the eldest grandson, it only took a few months to train the Jing Navy like this, which is already a military wizard.

"Message!"

"A jar of wine per person in the appreciating navy!"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he was just about to repeat it in his male duck voice, when he heard a deafening sound coming from downstairs at the city gate. ….

"Salute!"

As the leading soldiers shouted the word "salute", the three thousand soldiers who were marching took the fire guns off their backs and put them in their hands, and at the same time their eyes brushed in the direction of the city gatehouse.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

"Ten thousand years of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Sail to the sea!"

"The four seas are the vassals!"

Lao Zhu never thought that Jing Haijun would be able to give him such a surprise, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

"Good, good!"

"Add another tael of silver to each person!"

Qin Deshun finally had time to shout for His Majesty the Emperor this time, but to everyone's disappointment, Jing Haijun didn't react at all after hearing His Majesty's reward, and didn't say a word of thanks, just walked down like this.

There is no other reason, just because there was no rehearsal in this link, and the two Jinghai stupid birds in the lead didn't know what to do, so they could only pretend not to hear and lead everyone over.

The envoys of the foreign vassal on Zhu Yunxi's side, after seeing the Jing Navy passing, also let out a sound of exclamation.

It's just that in the midst of the exclamations, there is always a bit of dissonant tone.

"The Jing Navy looks okay, and the momentum is not bad, but it's too immature, and I haven't experienced the battle formation, so it's useless after all!"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the North Korean envoy Lu Song, and thought to himself that this person was really full of confidence, and even dared to dare to look at his own navy?

Originally, Zhu Yunxi was still entangled in who to train first, since the North Korean envoys jumped like this, then it would be better to use North Korea to train first!

"Envoy Lu doesn't need to worry, he will have to ride and shoot and firearms drills in a while, and it's too late to talk about it after you have seen the firearms drill!"

Lu Song laughed when he heard this, and arched his hand towards Zhu Yunxi.

"Then Weichen is waiting for good news, hahaha!"

While the two were talking and laughing, the guards of Qin King Zhu Fan walked over.

King Qin made trouble, but his ability to govern the army was still good. In addition, he has been holding back his strength to take the lead, and spent a lot of money to buy weapons and armor from a certain imperial grandson who did not want to reveal his name, which made his 3,000 guards look extremely elite, and even the previous Beijing camp was compared.

Lao Zhu was also full of praise for King Qin's guards, especially the new weapons and armor, the new ones could drip oil.

Zhu Fan was also very proud, and walked in front of the city gate tower proudly.

Because he had just seen Jing Haijun shouting slogans that were very spectacular, Zhu Fan also wanted to learn about it. It's just that the training time is too short, and the slogans are very chaotic.

So much so that the people on the city wall, without even hearing what he was shouting, saw his guards walking away in a cloud of dust and smoke.

Next is Zhu Li's guards, Zhu Li didn't spend money on those flowers, basically what the soldiers usually wear and what they still wear now.

As a result, the armor worn by his guards was somewhat mottled and uneven, and some of them had pieces of armor that had fallen off, and some of them had marks of swords, axes, and chisels.

However, it was such a tattered army, and the group of toasts in the southwest were boiling. Especially those female toasts, who are fighting against each other

Zhu Li, who was on the horse, pointed and praised this person as a real hero.

The southwest place has not been peaceful, when there is no Ming they fight each other, with the Ming they fight the Ming, and then by the Ming pressed on the ground rubbing. ….

After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, they continued to fight each other.

In short, there is no time to stop, and it is always sinking in the whirlpool of zero-sum games.

Because they often fought, they were not interested in the guards of the King of Qin, which had bright armor, but had a soft spot for the army of the King of Jin who had just come down from the battlefield.

Lao Zhu was also very satisfied with Zhu Li's guards, and secretly decided not to stuff the old, weak, sick and disabled guards of the third child, so let him keep his combat strength to fight Beiyuan.

As for Zhu Fan who just passed, since he has the money to change the clothes of the guards, there should be no problem for him to raise 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.

Then there is the performance of Zhu Di and the guards of other vassal kings, the performance effect is similar, if it were not for the words "Yan" and "Zhou" written on the flag, outsiders would still think that it was the same army walking back and forth.

Because they all bought Zhu Yunxi's "Parade Dress" package, Qingyishui's standard armor and weapons, there was no difference at all.

Lao Zhu looked at his group of stupid sons, and looked at the rebel grandson who counted the money on the side and counted the soft hands, he was so angry in his heart that he couldn't wait to bring the rebel grandson over and throw him under the city wall and fall to his death!

At the end of the array marching show, it's time for events like archery and horse archery.

In this regard, Zhu Yunxi was very conscious, knowing that he was not the opponent of Uncle Wang and Jingying, who had been in battle for a long time, and directly chose to abstain.

Zhu Yunxi's move attracted a burst of ridicule, especially the laughter of several uncles who climbed the city wall.

"Big nephew, even if your riding and archery skills are not good, you won't give up, right?"

"Just send a few people up to compare, it's about participation, hahaha......

Zhu Yunxi listened to the ridicule of the second uncle and said very calmly.

"Riding and shooting will not participate, and it will be a shame to be in vain."

"Let's let my nephew show the second uncle a fire shot, and a cannon shot or something!"

"Firebolt?"

When Zhu Fan heard this, he immediately showed a disdainful expression on his face.

There is no shortage of firearms in the Ming army, but many people are not willing to use this thing.

Because this thing is heavy and clumsy, the range is short, and the target is not even hazy, it belongs to the thing that hits where it is pointed.

As for the artillery, it is even more useless, at best it is a big artillery battle.

If it is placed on the city wall to assist in defending the city, it is filled with gunpowder and projectiles, and it can be of some use to fight it condescendingly.

If it is placed outside the city to fight with people, that thing is a pile of broken copper and iron, and if you can't put two cannons, you will have to be rushed up and hacked to death.

"Big nephew, on the battlefield, I still pay attention to a real knife and a real gun, firearms, cannons and the like are toys, it's okay to listen to it on a festive day, you can't count on that in a real war!"

Zhu Fan said these words earnestly, and before Zhu Yunxi could refute it, Zhu Li couldn't help it.

The last time he repelled the Northern Yuan War, the main participants were Lan Yu and Zhu Li, the king of Jin, Zhu Li was the one who had really seen the power of artillery and firearms, and was the first to stand up for his eldest nephew.

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, the eldest nephew's fire gun is different, and it hits far and accurately!"

Zhu Fan was immediately unhappy when he heard this, thinking that he had good intentions to teach his eldest nephew two sentences of battle formation, why did he teach it wrong?

"The third!"

"Don't just point fingers at me just because you won two battles!"

"I'm down to business with my eldest nephew!"

"The eldest nephew is the grandson of Emperor Daming, and he will inherit the throne of our Ming Emperor in the future!"

"If you blindly follow him and coax him, you will only spoil him and make him develop an unstoppable problem!"

"Even if the firebolts you said are as good as they are, let's just ask, when it comes to the battlefield, how many guns can you shoot when people shoot ten arrows?"

"I'm afraid that after a shot on your side, the enemy has already shot before the gunpowder is loaded

Ten arrows are over!"

When Zhu Li saw the second brother say this, he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Although the speed of changing the gun has increased a lot, it is still very slow, and it is necessary to use an iron bar to clean the gunpowder residue in the gun tube before the new medicine can be put in.

Relatively speaking, bows and arrows are much more convenient, as long as the opponent is an experienced archer, enough to shoot four or five arrows in the time it takes to change the dressing here.

But he also wanted to defend his eldest nephew.

"Second brother, you can't just find fault and not look at the merits of others."

"It takes at least ten years for an archer to train, and the firecrackle can be used, can this be compared......

Fiery chicken fir
