Chapter 289: Zhu Di Lanyu led his troops south

Hepu County, county ya.

After Zhu Biao heard Li Jin's words, his eyes widened, and he asked puzzledly:

"Master Li, what do you mean by that?"

Li Jin touched his chin and explained mysteriously:

"Do you know that Annan has already changed the world now?"

"The original Emperor of Annam was surnamed Chen, and now it has been replaced by the surname Hu, do you think the current Annam is still the same as the previous Annam?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he only felt that his head exploded all of a sudden.

Just last year, the monarch of Annan also sent envoys to Daming Yingtian to ask for the canonization of Daming.

At that time, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about what the name of the current Emperor Annan was, they just thought that it was just a normal change of power in Annan.

Because the name written on the national book is also surnamed Chen.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, not only stamped and agreed to Annan Xinjun's request, but even rewarded a lot of property to this sensible Annan Xinjun.

As a result, now Li Jin actually said that this monarch of Annan is a fake, and even he is not surnamed Chen.

What does this mean?

This is not to say that the emperor of Annam is not a succession to the throne at all, and it is more likely that he obtained the throne through a coup d'état.

This conjecture made Zhu Biao gasp.

After all, as the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty recognized a vassal state that gained power through rebellion, so what should other vassal states think?

Originally, as the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty should have recognized orthodoxy and protected the power of the vassal state from being at its peak.

Now it's good that Da Ming not only recognized a rebel regime, but also sealed the coffin for the other party, making the other party justified, and gave away so much property by the way.

Once this matter is exposed, Daming's reputation will plummet, which Zhu Biao cannot tolerate.

"Master Li, is what you said true?"

Zhu Biao's face is serious, this matter is very important, if it is really as Li Jin said, then this matter must be reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, so that Zhu Yuanzhang can deal with it as soon as possible.

Li Jin shook his head and cut the railway:

"Naturally, it is true, this matter has long been rumored in Annan, it can be said that it is a household name, just send a brocade guard over, and you can find out clearly."

Seeing that Li Jin was so sure, Zhu Biao couldn't help but believe it in his heart, took a deep breath, and then said:

"This matter should be reported to the imperial court immediately, so that the imperial court can send someone to verify."

"Once this really happens, then we must not sit idly by."

Li Jin pursed his lips and retorted:

"I advise you not to let the emperor know."

"Now that Emperor Annan has been canonized by the emperor, if after the investigation is clear, it is found that this emperor is indeed a fake, presumably the emperor will definitely feel that he has lost face."

"At that time, the emperor Long Yan was furious, whether this anger was sent to Annan, or to you and me, who can say clearly?"

"Let's wait for the weapons and equipment, as well as the arrival of the marines, and then we will think about it."

Li Jin is naturally based on stability, what kind of temper does Zhu Yuanzhang have? A man who wants to save face.

If Zhu Yuanzhang really knew that such a big oolong was made, maybe the first person to kill would be those who knew about it.

However, Li Jin didn't know Zhu Biao's identity, and in the face of Li Jin's persuasion, Zhu Biao was fearless, and said righteously:

"No, if this matter is concealed from the emperor, I am afraid that the responsibility will be even heavier at that time."

"Although the emperor loves face, he is still a wise monarch, this kind of major right and wrong, presumably the emperor can definitely distinguish the priorities."

"I'll report this matter to the emperor first, you take those soldiers to continue training, and when the equipment and navy arrive, maybe the emperor's will can come down."

"In this way, it won't be too delayed, what does Master Li think?"

Li Jin carefully looked at Zhu Biao for a moment, and then said thoughtfully:

"It seems that Lord Huang knows the emperor very well!"

Zhu Biao was shocked, thinking that Li Jin had seen something, and hurriedly explained:

"I don't dare to say that I understand, but I've seen it more times, so I have an idea."

Li Jin sighed and said:

"Lord Huang is really lucky, this official hasn't seen Tianyan once until now!"

Zhu Biao complained in his heart: You don't know how many times you've seen your father, if it weren't for your luck, you would have been beheaded by your father.

Although he complained in his heart, Zhu Biao smiled on the surface:

"Presumably, Lord Li this time, if he makes another great contribution, he will inevitably be summoned by the emperor, and he will be able to see the face of the sky at that time."

"I hope so."

Li Jin said casually:

"Lord Huang should write the song first, and before writing, send someone to Annan to check it out, so as not to have any deviations at that time."

Zhu Biao nodded solemnly and said:

"At that time, naturally, please rest assured Master Li."

"If nothing else, I'll take my leave!"

Li Jin waved his hand and signaled that Zhu Biao could leave.

Looking at the back of Zhu Biao leaving, Li Jin rubbed his chin and felt that this Lord Huang did not seem to be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

...

In the South China Sea, a fleet has just crossed the strait.

Zhu Di and Lan Yu stood on top of the flagship, looking at the rippling sea in the distance, constantly communicating with each other.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, your fief is in Beiping, and most of the enemies there are Mongols, not pirates, I think you can return to Beiping and prepare cavalry."

Lan Yu is the coach who went south to support Li Jin and Zhu Biao this time, and there was no Zhu Di in the original support team, but Zhu Di was stalking and had to be with Lan Yu, so he was allowed by Zhu Yuanzhang to follow the navy.

For Zhu Di to be in the navy, Lan Yu is really puzzled.

You must know that Zhu Di was named the King of Yan, and the domain is Beiping, which is very close to Mobei, more than 80 miles northwest from Beiping, which is Juyong Pass.

Out of the customs is Huailai, Huailai to the north is the desert.

There lived the lifelong enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but these people were all people who grew on horseback, coming and going like the wind, coupled with the complex terrain of the Mobei grassland, it gave the remnants of the Northern Yuan a chance to survive.

The fiefdom of King Yan in Beiping, the future battlefield, should naturally be Mobei.

The purpose of the emperor's enthronement of the king is also for this, but what Lan Yu can't understand is why Zhu Di has to stumble in the navy?

You know, there is a difference between a war and a war.

The tactics of the cavalry and the navy are completely different, and Zhu Di will inevitably command the cavalry in the future, which is a pure waste of time in the navy.

Faced with Lan Yu's question, Zhu Di had a different opinion.

Although the navy is not cavalry, it can be called an auxiliary branch of cavalry, and even can be combined with cavalry in the end to become a new branch.

The biggest feature of cavalry is that it is highly mobile, and if it is coupled with the ability of riding and shooting, it is completely possible to solve the opponent by flying kites.

This kind of cavalry with high speed and long attack distance is a nightmare for all arms, and the Mongolian cavalry also relies on this hand to fight invincible opponents all over the world.

But after Zhu Di met the Navy Special Combat Team, he had an ingenious idea.

In terms of shooting distance, Zhu Di dared to say at this moment that there was absolutely no one who could compare to the firearms in the hands of the navy.

The firing distance of the musket was one hundred and fifty paces, while the distance of the cavalry's bow and arrow was only fifty paces.

If the Mongols dared to play a salvo in front of the navy, Zhu Di promised that they would definitely be able to shoot the opposite side into a sieve.

So, what if these navies could learn to ride horses and fire a salvo of guns on horseback?

Zhu Di felt that if his idea could be realized, then the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty would rise to a new level.

It can be said that it is not easy to sweep the desert and exterminate the remnants of the Northern Yuan.

"Liang Guogong, have you ever thought about what kind of scene it will be when these navies learn to ride horses??"

Zhu Di said what he thought in his heart to Lan Yu word by word.

After all, Lan Yu is a veteran of a hundred battles and a veteran on the battlefield, just after listening to Zhu Di's words, he thought of the strength of the horse navy.

"If there really is such an army, presumably my Ming cavalry will reach the peak."

The firecrackers who can ride horses will not have much less mobility than the Mongol cavalry, but the range is greatly surpassing that of the other party.

The opponent's salvo can't fight himself, and if he wants to fight hard, he can't break through the fire salvo at all, so he can only escape.

But if they led people to attack their base camp, where would they flee to?

Lan Yu and Zhu Di were pleasantly surprised by their ideas, but what they didn't know was that in the next two hundred years, Daming would have such an iron cavalry, crisscrossing the battlefield, and it was also the last elite cavalry in the northeast of Daming, known as the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

In this way, the two excitedly discussed how to combine the cavalry and the firecrackers to give full play to the role of the battle array.

Zhu Di felt that there were two ways to use the firecrackers.

One is to directly train the firecrackers into an army, and then use them in combination with cavalry.

When fighting, it is to first use the fire gun to attack the opponent's forward to disrupt the opponent's impact formation, and then send the cavalry on the left and right flanks to take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy's formation, and it will definitely be able to win a big victory.

This is also the prototype of the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion behind Zhu Di, supplemented by the Shenji Battalion, and the cavalry harvesting is the main way to deal with the Mongolian cavalry.

This method of warfare against the Mongolian cavalry can be said to be victorious in a hundred battles, but there is one point, that is, the mobility is too poor, if the enemy escapes, it is difficult for the Ming army to catch up.

There is another way, and that is to fire the guns immediately.

Teach the Musketeers to ride horses and be able to fire volleys on horseback.

In this way, the firepower of the firecrackers is preserved, and the mobility of the firecrackers is increased.

Zhu Di believes that when the time comes, the Mongolian army will not be able to fight and fight, and it will not be able to escape, and with this army, it will definitely be able to sweep the desert and seal the wolf.

It's just that Lan Yu proposed that although this kind of army is strong, it will inevitably take a long time, and every soldier will be very precious, which requires strong financial support.

In this regard, Zhu Di disagreed, after all, his father and emperor now lack everything, but he will definitely not lack silver.

Although he didn't know how much silver his father had, Zhu Di knew that his father had a lot of silver.

First, Li Jin Tokyo massacre, looted all the wealth on Wajima, and then transported it to the Ming treasury.

After that, it was the gold mountain silver mine on Wa Island, all of which were mined by the Ming Dynasty, and these things should have belonged to the East India Chamber of Commerce, but in the end they were forcibly canceled by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the end, Li Jin's accumulated family background was directly taken by Zhu Yuanzhang as his own.

With Li Jin's way of accumulating money, he knows with his toes that this must be another huge amount of money.

Thinking of Li Jin, Zhu Di's eyes couldn't help but be a little fluttering, if it wasn't for Li Jin, he might have died on the battlefield, and he didn't know how the other party was doing in Qinzhou now?
