Zhu Gaoxian's brain was running rapidly, trying to figure out the hints in and out of the old man's words.

In the world in his mind, Cao Cao said with emotion: "Boy, what kind of rebellion is this, the emperor has fed the rice directly to your mouth." ”

He couldn't help but be a little envious, if he had such a father back then, where would there be anything to do with the Sun and Liu families. It's too difficult to start from scratch, and what's even more difficult is that the opponents you encounter can fight one by one.

"I'll sue you for slander." Zhu Gaoxian said angrily, "I didn't think about rebellion, you made up it yourself." ”

"I think...... Your dad is probably fooling you. Li Shimin said sadly, "I am more experienced in this area. ”

Before the "Xuanwumen Change", Li Shimin's old father Li Yuan used political means to promise to fool Li Shimin three times, and each time he swore that he would make Li Shimin the crown prince, but each time he failed to do so.

In the end, Li Shimin was finally disappointed in his old father, and he couldn't bear it anymore and launched a coup d'état, flipping the table and becoming his own boss.

"People are numb." Zhu Gaoxian rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, since you are so experienced, why don't you come?" ”

"That's very good." Li Shimin bowed slightly.

……

Zhu Di suddenly felt that the King of Qi in front of him was a little different.

To be precise, in a very short period of time, the temperament on the body has undergone a completely different change, as if two people.

From the arrogant and arbitrary leader of the hawks, it suddenly changed to a strong and majestic. It's like a freshly fired spirit, in stark contrast to a pot of wine that has been precipitated for decades.

"What do you think?" Zhu Di asked.

"At the top of the high mountain, you can see the river rushing. On the top of the peaks, Fang Jue felt a long wind. Li Shimin said calmly, "The East Palace, the country's capital, should be the residence of those with outstanding talents." This expedition to the Northeast, who should be the crown prince based on the results of the battle, it is better to wait and see? ”

"That's what you think?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly, "But, why do you think that you must be better than the boss?" ”

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this: "The big husband acts, regardless of right and wrong, regardless of interests, regardless of success or failure, and about eternal life!" ”

Then, his eyes turned cold again, "If I don't even have this bit of self-confidence, how can I be worthy of the right to control life and death in the world?" ”

"Courageous." Zhu Di couldn't help but admire, and asked, "How to break the enemy?" ”

Li Shimin's eyes shone brightly: "Those who are strange are righteous, and those who are hostile are strange, then I will attack them; If the right is strange, and the hostility is right, then I will strike at it. So that the enemy's strength is always weak, and I am always strong. Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers. Therefore, he who is good at moving the enemy, the form is formed, and the enemy will follow it. Give it, and the enemy will take it; Move it with profit, and treat it with a pawn. ”

The world's first impression of Li Shimin is probably that he is a top politician who is good at playing tricks. Therefore, Li Shimin's military ability is ignored, because his military ability is so perverted that most people don't even realize where he is perverted.

Li Shimin's performance in every battle focused too much on the moment when he charged into battle, so that few people would seriously understand the whole process of his command of the battle.

Therefore, there is also an extreme illusion of conformity: "Li Shimin can only fight, and the layout, strategy, logistics, etc., are all arranged for him by someone sitting in the rear." ”

"Well said!"

Zhu Di and Li Shimin looked at each other, two pairs of imperial eyes, the collision between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, one represents the prosperity of Zhenguan, and the other represents the prosperity of Yongle.

Zhu Di grinned: "Good boy, it's really kind." ”

……

The world of minds.

Li Shimin returned control of his body to his master, Ge Zhu Gaoxian, and said: "Your father doesn't seem to be fooling you, he really plans to change the crown prince." ”

"Is it so urine?" Zhu Gaoxian was shocked.

Huo Quzhi sent congratulations: "Niu, Niu, it's just that I still have a question, does being the prince affect us to lead troops to fight?" ”

"It has an impact, but it depends on what the game does." Li Si said slowly in the tone of a senior conspirator, "Now it seems that the old emperor has made up his mind to pass on the country to Xiao Zhu, do you think the prince will be willing to give up his hand?" ”

"It's unlikely." Even Huo Quzhi, who has always been bad at scheming, can figure out this truth.

The crown prince, the lord of the East Palace, the prince of the empire, who can resist this temptation?

Even if Zhu Chupang can resist the temptation, can Zhu Zhanji?

There are too many interests involved in this, and it is impossible for Zhu Gaochi not to resist, and he cannot help but resist.

"Hehe......" Li Si chuckled, "when the conspiracy can't solve the problem, the only way to solve it is to use force to solve the problem." Let him come from all sides, sit firmly on Mount Tai and worry-free, Fang is the backbone of the general. ”

Xing Daorong crossed his hands on his hips: "Isn't this just praising me!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at this criticism: "Which ear of your ears can hear that it is praising you?" ”

Xing Daorong said triumphantly: "My Lingling General Xing Daorong, Wen Neng fights Zhuge Liang wisely, and Wu Neng fights Zhao Zilong, isn't it a general's backbone?" ”

Boss Cao smiled: "I can see it this time, you are really good at blowing, except for being able to blow." ”

……

Zhu Gaoxian, who came out of the imperial study, met the prince at the corner. It's just that this is not a coincidence, but the prince is waiting for him.

The prince's face was still flat, and when he saw Queen Qi, he smiled slightly: "I have nothing to do today, fourth, accompany my brother?" ”

"I'm happy to accompany you." Zhu Gaoxian did not refuse.

Although the two were political enemies in the court, in private, they walked side by side, and they showed a sincere smile during the conversation. The prince was fat and weak, and he was out of breath after taking two steps, and Zhu Gaoxian helped him sit under the tree.

The red glow of the evening shines through the flourishing branches and leaves of the deep palace, sprinkled on the yellow glazed tiles and red walls, the palace of Jinling City has listened to too many secrets, witnessed the life and death of too many people, and has become a witness to history.

"It's going to be war again." The crown prince was a little depressed when he talked about this, "Taxes are fiercer than tigers, every time there is a war, the imperial court has to increase taxes in various places, and in the long run, how can the country be stable?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian patted the prince on the shoulder and said: "Big brother, take a long-term view, you are not a stupid person who reads books, you should know that foreign wars have disadvantages and advantages, Taiping is not something you say with your mouth, Taiping was knocked down by me with my fists, and when I turn Jianzhou into Jianzhou Province, you will understand." ”

"Even if you fight down and build a state, what can you do?" The prince was quite puzzled, "Even if you can kill Jianzhou in the dark and force them to kneel, when they catch their breath, what is the point?" ”

"I plan to open a college in Jianzhou." Zhu Gaoxian said suddenly.

"Academy?" The prince couldn't react.

"Chinese Academy." Zhu Gaoxian smiled and said, "Transferred people from Guozijian to serve as teachers at the Chinese Academy of Chinese Literature, teaching Jurchen Chinese characters under the age of fifteen, four books and five classics. Once a year, students who pass the exam can have three places to join the Ming household registration, including themselves. With a Ming household registration, you can reduce taxes, reclaim fields, and be protected by the Ming army. The Jurchens, who do not have a Ming household registration, have to act as our laborers in the northeast. ”

The crown prince gasped: "You are going to exterminate the Jurchens!" ”

Guozijian reached its peak during the Yongle period, with more than 9,000 students at one time, making it the largest institution of higher learning in the world. These students of Guozijian, if you let them become officials, they may not be able to be good. When you let them teach and educate people, it's definitely full of sage philosophy.

The crown prince knew that King Qi did not have a good impression of Confucian culture, and he just used Confucius as a tool to brainwash the Jurchens.

Moreover, King Qi also locked in starting with Jurchens under the age of fifteen, first, because children absorb culture quickly, and secondly, children are easy to fool. grasped the new generation of the Jurchens, and then grasped the future of the Jurchens.

He wants to change the wandering Jurchens in Jianzhou from nomads to farming people!

Force can only disintegrate a nation's fighting power, but cultural invasion can corrode a nation's spirit.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished after death?" The prince asked.

Zhu Gaoxian laughed: "For this generation of Jurchens, I am a nightmare; For the Han Chinese, I am a hero; For the next generation of Jurchens, I am a great man. I spend my days singing wildly, who is the male for flying? ”

The crown prince couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart, no matter whether things were successful or not, King Qi's attitude was worthy of his respect.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Zhu Gaoxian and the crown prince is very strange.

King Qi's Mansion and East Palace are enemies, and King Qi and the crown prince can also be enemies, but Zhu Gaoxian and Zhu Gaochi are brothers.

Standpointingly, they are enemies, and personally, they are brothers.

……

Although the emperor sent a message to ask Zhu Gaoxian to select 30,000 elites from the Beijing camp, this is also a polite remark, in fact, how to distribute Zhu Di has already been decided:

The 27,000 elite infantry troops drawn from the five military camps, the 2,000 horsemen drawn from the 3,000 battalions, and the nearly 1,000 Qiwangfu escorts.

The supreme commander is naturally Zhu Gaoxian, followed by the British Duke Zhang Fu, and then the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Yong. After that, it was the town guard lieutenant, Ma Qi.

At the beginning, Zhang Fu was fighting in the southwest, and Ma Qi was the commander of the Ming army, and later the southwest was pacified, and Ma Qi was transferred back to the capital, but now he is following Zhu Gaoxian to fight. This eunuch is useless, similar to the prison army but the power is not as great as the prison army, and unfortunately he met a high-status prince and became a symbolic mascot.

……

Zhang Yingzhen took off the shoulder pads from the wooden frame and tied the armor outside, and helped put them on Zhu Gaoxian's body, wearing the armor on the outside and the lock on the inside.

The whole body of the black armor, the whole set down more than 80 catties, three layers of defense, fine iron forging and quenching, the top grade of the top. This level of armor, let alone a sword, even if a bow and arrow are shot on the body, they can't leave a white mark, and only a blunt weapon can cause damage. The shortcomings are also obvious, ordinary soldiers can't support such heavy armor, and they are exhausted after walking two steps. Of course, this armor is also unlikely to be mass-produced.

This is not the first time Zhang Yingzhen has worn armor for Zhu Gaoxian.

Noticing his wife's worried eyes, Zhu Gaoxian asked, "Is there anything on your mind?" ”

Princess Qi barely managed to squeeze out a smile, but her face was a little pale at the moment, she hesitated, and wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end.

She is a sensible woman, although she doesn't want her prince to go to the battlefield again, but saying it at this time doesn't make any sense except for blocking the prince's heart, so it's better not to say it.

But Zhu Gaoxian seemed to see through the princess's thoughts, stretched out his arm and held Zhang Yingzhen in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, just believe me." ”

The princess's moist eyelashes trembled slightly, and she gently closed her eyes and hugged Zhu Gaoxian tightly.

Zhu Gaoxian is a man who can't talk sweetly, his IQ and EQ are full of talent, whether it is playing tricks or leading troops to fight, he is good at it, but let him fall in love, which is a bit embarrassing.

And Zhang Yingzhen doesn't need King Qi to say anything crooked to her, what she needs is Zhu Gaoxian's confident "believe me", generous and powerful.

The generals and beauties embrace each other, like the most beautiful Danqing picture in the world. The world is gentle, but the spring willows are shaking and dyeing the fragrance of flowers, and the acacia cicadas are singing into the deep alleys.

……

Since the army was drawn from the five battalions and the three thousand battalions, the soldiers were all elite who crawled out of the pile of dead, and they were assembled in an orderly manner.

And Zhu Gaoxian's palace guards, after half a year of high-intensity training, have been replaced by full cavalry and are well-equipped.

It's just that standing with the cavalry of the 3,000 battalions is always missing one crucial thing - blood.

An army that has never been on the battlefield is like a sword that has not been sharpened, and Zhu Gaoxian brought the palace guards this time to temper his own family base.

In the temporary camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Zhu Gaoxian was in the camp of the commander, giving orders to a group of generals, including operational principles, tactics, discipline, and other aspects.

In the end, there are four key ones.

Article 1: One hundred and twenty-one (120 people), five battalions and one battalion (600 people), five battalions and one regiment (3,000 people), five regiments and one division (15,000 people). This is the establishment formulated by Zhu Gaoxian, and when each general leads the troops, he will formulate the establishment according to his own preferences and habits.

If you go all the way, you will stop in one place, and you will go down in turn, and you will attack one place in battle.

Rule 2: Fight with heavy armor infantry as the vanguard, with long soldiers, and cover the lightly armored archers, so that the archers can shoot close to the enemy, while the elite cavalry presses the formation in the rear, moves with the camera, or clashes or outflanks with cavalry. This is a conventional operation, and the special situation is improvised, with Zhu Gaoxian and Zhang Fu in charge, and the tactics of 30,000 people can be played.

Article 3: Each "picketing" has the right to exercise supervision, but if the picketing knowingly violates the law, or commits cover-up, the crime is increased by two degrees.

Article 4: Whoever marches in the place where he sleeps at night, he shall set up a fence in the cold, and dig a trench in the heat. The horses are herded in the trench, and they fight outside, and pass the horns and arrows to patrol the watch, so that the men and horses do not escape, and the next morning they come immediately, and they are not tired of searching.

In an army, military discipline is always the most important. If you win a battle, you will rush and rob, and if you lose a battle, you will run and run, that is not called an army, that is called a bandit.

"General Zhang, give the order to assemble the whole army and prepare to send troops." Zhu Gaoxian looked at his old father-in-law.

In the army, regardless of distance or proximity, it is based on duties.

Zhang Fu clenched his fists across his chest and bowed slightly: "The last general will take the order." ”
