Chapter 172: Serving the Crowd
Xuehua was originally Lan Yu's horse, but Zhu Gui bypassed him and made Zhu Yuanzhang agree to the matter, and Lan Yu did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes, so she could only obediently comply.
It's just that he couldn't hide his hatred in the eyes that he looked at Zhu Gui, but Zhu Gui was not moved at all.
Maybe his ability to fight is indeed not as good as the other party, but whether it is a strategy or a city government, he doesn't feel that he will lose to the other party.
"Thank you father, thank you to the general."
got the cheap Zhu Gui, and he didn't forget to be angry with the blue jade.
This time, Lan Yu can be said to have lost his wife and broken his soldiers, his face was bloodless, and he only got up from the ground long after Zhu Gui left.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had also left the dragon chair and returned to the harem.
"The child deceived me too much, and the old man will teach you a lesson sooner or later." Lan Yu said through gritted teeth.
And this scene was heard by the chief eunuch hiding behind the tent, and he quickly reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded and didn't say anything, but he aroused a trace of curiosity about Zhu Gui in his heart, "This kid seems to be able to see through my thoughts, does he really know that I want to deal with Lan Yu?" Whether he knows it or not, he has done a good job this time, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to reduce Lan Yu's power, but you kid must win this battle. ”
At this time, Zhu Gui had already left the palace, and he was not very happy about putting Lan Yu together, because he knew that with Lan Yu's character, he would definitely retaliate against him, although he had already prepared for this, but no one was sure how much energy a great general would have when he was angry.
This was followed by the Emperor's decree, ordering him to set out in a week with his army and go to the border to repel the Mongols.
As said before, the emperor did not give him any support, only gave him the official position of an empty general.
But this is enough, Zhu Gui took the holy decree and the tiger talisman, went to the camp outside the city gate, where Lan Yu's subordinates were stationed, and then said to the adjutant of the military camp, "This king is here to transfer troops, here is the emperor's holy decree and tiger talisman, you quickly remove the 20,000 cavalry, and you will set off in a week, and this king will train them in these days." ”
After the lieutenant verified the decree and the tiger talisman, he quickly left.
Soon after, the lieutenant returned, followed by twenty thousand households.
"Lord Wang, these twenty thousand households here will go out with the prince, please sign the order." The adjutant took a copy of the military policy and said.
Zhu Gui took the military strategy, looked at it once, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signed his name and stamped it.
Then he said to the twenty thousand households, "This king will send another twenty people to move over, and you will all become deputies." ”
The twenty thousand households glanced at each other, all showing surprised and indignant eyes, but most of them didn't dare to say anything to Zhu Gui, the prince.
But someone still stood up and said, "Lord Wang, we are the personal life of General Lanyu, and you still need to rely on us if you want to win the battle." ”
The implication of his words was that he did not want to comply with Zhu Gui's appointment.
"Oh, is it? It seems that you are not convinced by the appointment of this king, so let's compare yourself with the people sent by this king, and if you win, you can continue to serve as a thousand households, how about it? ”
Zhu Gui said lightly.
This group of people is a strong general under Lan Yu, they are very conceited existence, plus this competition is harmless for them, even if they lose, they just obey Zhu Gui's orders, if they win, they can completely slap Zhu Gui in the face, so they agreed.
On Zhu Gui's side, he ordered his own soldiers to call twenty personal guards.
Half an hour later, the twenty men finally arrived, and the two sides gathered in the camp hall, surrounded by ordinary soldiers.
Zhu Gui's personal guards all carried flintlock pistols, body armor and fish scale armor, they were burly, and they exuded a breathtaking momentum, which was not far behind the elite soldiers under Lan Yu's command.
When the thousands of households on the other side saw such a scene, you were a little dumbfounded, they didn't expect that there would be such a fierce general under the little prince in front of them.
"Let's get started, one-on-one or in a group?" Zhu Gui looked at the adjutant and said, as if he was not afraid of the other party and used any strategy.
After all, these relatives under his command are all elite soldiers who have fought many vicious battles with him, and even if they don't use flintlock pistols, their skills are also very amazing.
Those twenty and no thousand households said that they wanted to be one-on-one.
So the school field was divided into four groups, and eight people began to fight at the same time.
Lan Yu's thousands of households are equipped with waist knives, which is also the standard configuration of the Ming army, but their waist knives are made of a hundred alchemy diamonds, but they are much inferior to the weapons of Zhu Gui's personal guards.
The Tang knife, all of which shone in the sun, emitted a cold light, and the surrounding sergeants all gasped.
Two of them, Qianhu, were already stabbed on their necks before they could react.
The other two Chiho reacted a little quicker, but Kankan only slashed at the knife, and their weapons were cut off from the point of contact.
Almost instantly, the victory or defeat of the two sides was decided, and the school field became silent in an instant.
The adjutant of the barracks became extremely ugly on his face, and after a while he said, "The weapons of the prince's personal guards are really good." ”
Zhu Gui could hear the ridicule in the other party's mouth, sneered, and then shouted below, "Change weapons, don't let the other side think that you can only win by weapons." ”
When the four guards who had already won heard this, they actually went down again, and then borrowed a weapon from the sergeant next to them, and once again took the stage to fight with the four thousand households on the opposite side.
This time the scene was not so shocking, but the guard on the opposite side also took only twenty moves to win again.
This time, even in the rare barracks, the surrounding sergeants began to cheer.
The adjutant of the barracks had an unusually ugly face, but this time he had no excuses.
The contest continued, and the battle that followed was much the same, with only one of the guards losing to the other due to carelessness.
Zhu Gui didn't care, so he let the Qianhu continue to hold his original position, while his personal guard served as an adjutant.
After the contest ended, Zhu Gui immediately announced, "Tomorrow will start the three-day training, and this king has only one requirement, that is, you must absolutely obey this king's orders." ”
After this competition, the entire military camp was very convinced by the king, so his words were also listened to by the adjutants of the thousand households.
