However, Zhu Di is not a fool, and after the stress, he still has a problem: "But what formation can you come up with?" How can you guarantee that the formation you come up with will work? This militaristic affair has never been touched by you! ”

"You believe me!" When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately said sincerely: "I haven't touched a lot of things, but think about it, I won't surprise you that time, right?" Zhu Di listened, although he agreed with this truth a little, but he still said: "Training, I am still a little better, this competition, I still have to be the main one, you can give me an idea." Sometimes, you might have a good idea! ”

Although the commanders of the guards on both sides of the "......" stood straight and looked ahead, their ears were listening.

At this time, when they heard that King Yan and the horse had taken the first step in selecting soldiers, they disagreed and quarreled, and they all shook their heads secretly: That's it, do you still want to compete with that blue jade?

Zhang Yifan said for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't convince Zhu Di, he understood that he was still too qualified, and it was reasonable for Zhu Di not to believe it.

No matter what, he must take out some genuine goods to show Zhu Di, and he will believe it. Thinking of this, he pulled Zhu Di back to the back of the general platform, and said to Zhu Di at the same time: "Give me your waist knife." Zhu Di listened, although he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, but he still took out his waist knife and gave it to his brother-in-law.

Zhang Yifan held the waist knife, and then asked Zhu Di: "Do you still remember all the news about the Japanese invaders?" Zhu Di listened, nodded, and replied, "Of course I remember!" ”

"Okay, then I'll explain to you what I came up with in response to the situation of the Japanese Invaders, do you think it makes sense, can you select soldiers and train them according to what I say?" When Zhang Yifan said this, he drew it on the table with the tip of a knife, and began to explain at the same time.

I have to say that it is still useful for him to do his homework in advance. Otherwise, you'll have to remember it now.

Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Formation, as well as the corresponding changes in size and size, were improved on the basis of Tang Shunzhi's Mandarin Duck Formation in view of the mountainous areas, the vertical and horizontal rivers, the narrow roads, and the characteristics of Japanese warfare in coastal areas.

This formation is the end of the war, which can be proved from Qi Jiguang's record. In the battle of Niutian, thousands of Japanese were defeated, 688 were beheaded, no one was killed, and 954 civilians were rescued.

In the battle of Wangcangping, nearly 10,000 Japanese were defeated, 177 were beheaded, 3,000 people were rescued, and no one was killed.

…… In total, there were more than 80 battles in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and there was not a single defeat. Every time, almost all the enemy was annihilated, and he only suffered a few or dozens of casualties, and the most casualties were only 69 people.

In the battles of Niutian and Wangcangping, he eliminated thousands of Japanese pirates, but none of them were killed.

This battle loss ratio between friend and foe is definitely very rare in Chinese history! is also because of such a powerful record, in later generations, Zhang Yifan looked at the relevant information out of curiosity, and now he is just using it.

Anyway, for him, it's just talk on paper, and it's just good at it. He explained the mandarin duck array from the terrain and weapons, and among them, he also constantly drew with the tip of a knife to assist his explanation.

At first, Zhu Di was a little unimpressed, thinking that Zhang Yifan could have come up with something on the spot?

As a result, the more he listened, the more he felt that it made sense, and slowly, his whole mind fell into it, and he listened attentively to Zhang Yifan's explanation.

So, on the side of the barracks, there was a strange scene. And he saw more than a hundred thousand soldiers, all of them standing motionless.

At this time, it was already July, and the temperature in Nanjing was also very high. However, these soldiers stood motionless in splendor, sweating like sculptures.

On the platform, the commanders of the guards did the same, standing there, facing the officers and men of the whole army. In the entire school field, there was no other sound except for the sound of hunting and hunting with flags blown by the wind.

And behind the point, only Zhang Yifan and Zhu Di were talking. However, the voice was not loud, and even the commanders of the guards in front of the general could only faintly hear some words.

Zhang Yifan didn't speak well, and even some of them were asked by Zhu Di speechlessly, and in the end he was annoyed, so he asked Zhu Di to shut up and asked him to talk about everything he wanted to talk about first.

Zhu Di could also listen to it, and sure enough, he no longer asked about the details, but listened carefully. Unless it's something he thinks is very important, he'll ask.

That's it, after talking for about half an hour, Zhang Yifan's mouth was dry, and he finally talked about everything in the Mandarin Duck Array, almost repeatedly.

In the end, he said to Zhu Di seriously: "You just need to train the soldiers as I say, of course, you must train the soldiers well, and the orders are forbidden, such as the call of the arm, I think this will be our greatest hope for victory in the competition!" Zhu Di listened, and did not answer immediately, but frowned and thought, looking at the content of Zhang Yifan's painting from time to time.

After a long while, he nodded with a serious face and said, "I think this formation is really good, then choose troops according to this, I bet!" "The Mandarin Duck Formation is actually a formation that combines multiple arms, and for different arms, when selecting soldiers, the requirements must be different.

It is also for this reason that Zhang Yifan will explain to Zhu Di before selecting five hundred sergeants. At this point, the two reached an agreement and walked back to the front.

At this time, Zhang Yifan found that the sun was in the center, and the sweat on the faces of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers standing under the stage was all dripping.

In front of many people, at least everywhere he looked, there was a puddle of water. Needless to say, this is all the sweat of the soldiers.

However, the whole army remained motionless, standing there like a log. At this moment, Zhang Yifan was really shocked!

This kind of shock is really much more shocking than he watching TV! At this moment, he felt the strength of the Ming army!

Zhu Di seems to be very accustomed to it, and he doesn't feel particularly touched by this. At this time, when he had made a decision, he ordered the commanders of the guards to begin the selection of the five hundred sergeants he wanted according to his requirements.

About another hour later, Zhu Di and Zhang Yifan, of course, mainly Zhu Di, selected five hundred sergeants to leave.

The commanders of the guards sent them away, and at the gate of the camp, several people looked at the backs of King Yan and the horses, looked at each other, and finally shook their heads.

As for the two of them, King Yan and the horse, how do you look like children. That's it, I still want to compete with veterans in the army to test the ability to lead soldiers to fight, this is too child's play!

But Zhu Di didn't think so, and he didn't care what others thought, and returned to his barracks with five hundred sergeants.

On the way, Zhang Yifan saw that it was not early, and said to Zhu Di: "Look, the hour is not early, I have to go back!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Di looked at him with that very surprised look and said, "Go back?" Even if you have smallpox to do, isn't the cow yet to arrive? Stay in the barracks first, at least you have to be more familiar with the barracks! ”

"......" Zhang Yifan was speechless when he heard it, thinking in his heart, I just want to be a military advisor and a mouth cannon, I have never practiced military training!

Besides, even if you know how to train your troops, so many powerful generals in the founding of the Ming Dynasty can't take your turn to lead your troops to fight!

However, Zhu Di didn't care what he thought, and called Zhu Wu and instructed: "You go and talk to the princess, just say that the horse will stay in the barracks these days and not go back!" Then he called another guard and told him the same: "Go back and tell the princess that I will eat and live with the soldiers before the competition, and I will not go back!" Zhang Yifan originally wanted to fight for it, but when he heard Zhu Di's words, he finally thought about it.

He is a ruthless person, he doesn't go home for three months in one breath, and he wants to eat and live with the soldiers in the barracks, so he will just stay in the barracks for a few days, so he won't be so hypocritical!

When he arrived at the barracks and before disbanding, Zhu Di stood in front of the five hundred sergeants and said very seriously and seriously: "In the future, you will be the soldiers of my Yanwang Mansion, not to mention anything else, you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be punished for your mistakes." Three months later, if you win the competition, you will be rewarded with 100 yuan per person, as an oath! After finishing speaking, he took out the waist knife that Zhang Yifan had already returned to him, and cut off a gun standing vertically on the side.

When these soldiers saw it, they were all greatly excited. You know, their monthly salary is only 1 guan, if you win the competition, it is a hundred months of military salary, for ordinary people, it is absolutely unbearable Even Zhang Yifan was shocked when he heard it, one person will be rewarded with 100 guan, 500 people is 50,000 guan, such a large sum of money, can you get it?

After the sergeants were disbanded, he asked Zhu Di this doubt: "With so much money, you won't be joking, right?" ”

"There is no joke in the army, how can you joke!" Zhu Di listened and said solemnly,

"I took out all the money, as well as the dowry from my daughter-in-law, and I was able to make up the 50,000 yuan. As long as you can win, it's worth it! ”

"......" Hearing this, Zhang Yifan looked at Zhu Di again in shock. Although Zhu Di was only sixteen years old at this time, he had to admire this ruthless man, looking at his action and determination, he was indeed a great dealer.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yifan said: "In this case, after all, this competition is a matter for the two of you, and you can't be allowed to pay this reward alone." I'll try my best to make it up here, and I'll make up as much as I can for you! "The princess of Shula's salary is two thousand a year, and the treatment of the horse and the princess is the same.

As far as this is concerned, Zhang Yifan's family can have an income of 4,000 yuan a year. However, the expenditure of the Horse Mansion is also a lot, after all, there are many people in the entire mansion, and there are still necessary expenses in ordinary times.

Therefore, Zhu Di patted Zhang Yifan on the shoulder and said, "The eldest sister has just been crowned a princess, and your previous savings have been used by you in Liujia Village." Your share of the money, forget it! ”
