After the ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne, first glanced at all the courtiers below, and then picked up a piece of music from the imperial case in front of him, shook it slightly, and then said: "This music is played by Lan Qing, Yan King Yan and the horse have no experience in leading the army in actual combat, and do not agree with the king of Yan and the horse leading the army to fight the Japanese Kou." ”

When Lan Yu heard this, she immediately clenched her fists and waited. At this time, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know how the emperor would rule in the end?

He was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that the emperor would protect his son.

At this time, even if Lan Yu's personality is very selfish, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang, he does not have the confidence to make great achievements in the future.

And after Hu Weiyong heard this, he was happy in his heart, he originally thought that the emperor would treat it coldly, but he didn't expect that when he said this at this time, it would be the beginning of the show!

No matter how Zhu Yuanzhang deals with it, on one side is his son and son-in-law, and on the other side is his eldest son's daughter-in-law and uncle, in short, it's a good show!

If Lan Yu is not allowed to play and still protect his son, then the prestige of the emperor's side in the army will definitely have an impact. In this regard, Hu Weiyong is very happy to see;

If Lan Yu plays correctly, then there will be no result in the matter of the vassal king leading the troops, and the royal strength will not increase, which is also the result that Hu Weiyong wants very much. Just like before he induced Ye Boju to play the feudal system of the vassal king, he just didn't want the royal power to be too great.

On the other hand, Taishi Li Shanchang is actually happy to hear about this. It can even be said that the reason why there is this piece of blue jade is, in the final analysis, he is still the initiator.

If he hadn't elevated the status of the Captain of the Horse Commander, maybe there would be no such thing.

Therefore, Li Shanchang at this time automatically entered the state of watching the play.

After thinking about it, they saw Zhu Yuanzhang throw the blue jade piece back on the imperial case, and said to the courtiers below: "King Yan, on this side, is not satisfied with what Lan Qing plays, and is willing to compete with Lan Qing on the ability to lead troops to fight, so as to prove that King Yan can lead troops to fight......"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and they all turned their heads to look at King Yan. Even Lan Yu herself is no exception.

In fact, they all think the same.

Although Lan Yu was not crowned a prince by military merits, he also became a minister of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with his military merits. He didn't know how many battles he had fought and how many enemies he had killed.

On the other hand, King Yan has only trained in Zhongdu. Ordinary military training and battlefield battles are completely different. Plus Yan Wang is only sixteen years old, so his experience is not enough!

That's it, King Yan even proposed to test the ability to lead the army to fight with Lan Yu, how much could he think of this?

As for Zhang Yifan, the commander of the horses, although Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned it, no one considered him at all.

At this time, Zhu Di saw that they were all looking at him, and he was not timid at all, but even more held his head high, and his momentum was full.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw all their reactions, and still said unhurriedly: "...... I think that ambition is not old, King Yan has this thought, and I must also encourage it. Therefore, I am exactly what it plays. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Lan Yu again and asked, "Lan Qing, do you dare to fight?" ”

When Lan Yu heard this, he immediately became angry, how underestimated he was to ask this question.

also thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang is emperor, Lan Yu held back his anger and immediately replied loudly: "If the last general fights, he will go all out, and he will not play on the spot!" ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately became angry, and immediately responded loudly: "If you don't go all out, you're a bad seed!" ”

Zhang Yifan was speechless, this matter has not yet been decided, and the two sides are already full of gunpowder.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to their conversation, but laughed and said: "Okay, soldiers should be like this, what's the point of cheating!" I'll see if the newborn calf is stronger, or the veteran is stronger! ”

"Yes!" When Zhu Di and Lan Yu heard this, they did not hesitate, and immediately stepped forward to hold their fists to receive the order.

Zhang Yifan slowed down for a moment, and only remembered that he seemed to be in the competition list after seeing them receiving the order, so he followed the list, stood behind Zhu Di, and responded with the same fist: "Obey the order!" ”

His reaction was slow, Zhu Di and Lan Yu were a lot, and they were not decisive at all, which made Li Shanchang and others look at it, and they were even more disdainful in their hearts. That's it, how can there be a little military aura?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind, after all, this son-in-law was an orphan in Liujia Village, and he had never been in contact with the army, so how could he be as vigorous as a person who had led soldiers.

At this time, he looked at the courtiers below, and then said again: "The enemy who led the army to fight this time is the Japanese Invaders, so I summoned Wu Qing, and Wu Qing explained the news of the Japanese Invaders to the two sides of the competition. Both sides can listen and ask questions. Three months later, the two sides competed against the Japanese invaders, and I and the generals in the army watched the battle. ”

Lan Yu, on his part, thought that even if he was sent to fight the Japanese now, there would be no problem at all. However, since the emperor said that he would listen to the news of the Japanese invaders first and wait for three months to compete, he didn't care.

Anyway, he didn't believe it, even if he gave King Yan and the horse three months, would it be difficult for them to fly into the sky and beat him?

Therefore, whether it is Yan Wang's side or Lan Yu's side, there is no opinion.

So, Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai, came out of the ranks, and in front of the emperor and the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, told King Yan, the concubine and Lan Yu about the characteristics of the Japanese he had encountered.

"The fighting power of the Japanese is not strong, and most of them have brave people who take the lead in the charge, and the rest follow up, and the morale of the victories is greatly boosted. If you kill those brave people, the rest will be scattered by birds and beasts......"

Hearing this, Lan Yu's face showed a trace of disdain. What is this, this is the rabble and nothing more!

However, this is in front of the emperor, and it is Jinghai Hou explaining, no matter what, he has no qualifications to laugh at this time, so he can only continue to listen patiently.

"The weapons of the Japanese are mostly composed of Japanese knives, Japanese bows, and spears. As far as the Japanese knives are concerned, especially those used by the brave people, the blade is five feet, the handle is one foot five inches, the total length is six feet five inches, and the weight is two catties and eight taels, which is extremely sharp. In one battle, three of my sergeants raised their spears and stabbed at the Japanese invaders. With a swing of his sword, the three guns were cut off together......"

When Lan Yu and Zhu Di heard this, they couldn't help but show a hint of love on their faces. Obviously, for soldiers, sharp weapons are one of their favorites.

This can also be proved by Zhang Yifan. He listened to the old god, and he didn't have the expression that Zhu Di or Lan Yu liked when they heard the sharpness of the sword.

"The bow is also very distinctive, eight feet long, and you can step on the end of the bow with your foot and shoot it upright. The arrow is made of iron, two inches wide, swallowtailed, weighing three or two taels, fired after approaching, and the hit rate is extremely high. ”

"The spear is eight feet long, slightly longer than our spear, and it is also the most commonly used blade of the pirates." Speaking of this, Wu Zhen paused, and saw that King Yan and Lan Yu were listening carefully, before he continued to explain: "The above is the armament situation of the Japanese Kou. ”

After finishing speaking, he paused slightly, and found that neither Yan Wang nor Lan Yu asked questions, so he continued to speak.

"The Japanese invaders crossed the sea and landed mostly on the coast of our Ming Dynasty, especially in Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. Therefore, the battlefield is mostly on the seaside, mountains, forests, fields, ditches and rivers, and other terrain, which is not conducive to cavalry maneuvering and charging. ”

"In addition, the Japanese are cunning, the most adept at setting up ambushes, and like to fight in close quarters." When Wu Zhen said this, he frowned slightly and said, "The terrain is unfamiliar, the terrain is changeable, and suddenly encountered an ambush, and the Japanese are led by brave people, and it is very easy to cause a large number of casualties to our army." ”

Lan Yu listened, and frowned slightly. This method of warfare is indeed the tactic in which this rabble can best exert its combat strength.

Immediately, though, his brow loosened again. Because he has this self-confidence, as long as he leads the army to fight the Japanese invaders, he will definitely not be ambushed.

Zhu Di's expression has not changed from beginning to end, and he has been listening carefully. For him, all this information is very valuable, and he dare not leave anything out.

As for Zhang Yifan, don't say it.

When Wu Zhen said this, he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then continued: "Among the widows, there are often some remnants of Zhang and Fang's subordinates. For the tactics and weapons of these thieves, it must be ......"

He originally wanted to say that everyone must be familiar with it, so he won't say it.

However, Wu Zhen immediately came back to his senses, and King Yan estimated that he would not be very clear, so he immediately changed his words, and introduced the weapons and equipment of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen's remnants, as well as the customary tactics and so on.

After saying this, Wu Zhen himself concluded: "One of the great advantages of our army over the Japanese is that the Japanese have no firearms, and if our army can use firearms to kill and injure the brave people of the Japanese Invaders, the victory or defeat of the battle will be divided!" ”

The Ming Dynasty issued a rule in the tenth year of Hongwu: 100 households in the army, 10 guns. When Mu Ying conquered Yunnan Tusi in the 21st year of Hongwu, he also used the combat method of three-stage shooting.

However, on the side of the Wa Kingdom, it was not until the Warring States Period of the Wa Kingdom, the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, that in the year when the great pirate Wang Zhi landed in the Wa Kingdom, he arrived at Tanegashima Island in the south of the Wa Kingdom with three Portuguese merchants from Siam.

It was through Wang Zhi's recommendation, introduction, and translation that the owner of the island, Shi Yao, purchased and introduced new muskets from these three Portuguese and mastered the technology of making ammunition, an event known in the history of the Japanese kingdom as the "introduction of iron cannons". The firearms of the Wa Kingdom also came from this time.

After Wu Zhen said this, he introduced the naval battle: "The warships of the Japanese are not large, and the battles at sea are mainly fought by jumping ship. Just like in a land battle, our army will attack it with firearms, and we will be able to defeat the brave people among the Japanese invaders! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, deliberately glanced at King Yan, and then reminded: "However, it is rainy and humid in the south, and the impact of firearms is very great, this matter must be known, and it must be guarded against!" ”

Obviously, Lan Yu must have known, and he was afraid that King Yan would not care, so he deliberately said it.
