Chapter 53: It's so comfortable, my husband
Infantry against knights, pay attention to battle formations!
Today's autumn training came quickly, and it stands to reason that it should be summer now, which is why there is such a big sun.
They saw the orderly change of tactics of the teams, and saw the earth-shattering screams, they were wearing heavy armor, and there was no trace of impatience in the hot sun.
Zhu Xiongying sighed in his heart, it is really a good army, with such an army, half of the fourth uncle will be defeated in his hands?
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Xiongying was concentrating on the artillery at this time, and suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, wanting to let his grandson understand what is the art of war, what is the art of war, what is the art of war, what is the art of war, what is the art of war?
"Bao'er!" Qin Yu laughed. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at Li Wenzhong, then pointed to a blank space, and said to Li Wenzhong:
"Bring the gun and let our grandson hear it!"
"Here you go!"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Li Wenzhong was busy below, so he turned around and said to Zhu Xiongying:
"This cannon is very good, grandson!"
"When we started our business, we were destitute, and if it weren't for the artillery, how could we have taken so many people to attack a city!"
As he spoke, he poked the cannon below with his finger and sighed with some regret:
"It's the best to use, but it's also the most expensive."
"But compared to this cannon, it's stupid, bad, and expensive."
"Oops! I did the math, and if I could force the pus out, it would be great! β
After speaking, he grabbed Zhu Xiongying's arm and looked at him with a solemn expression:
"This cannon is a very powerful weapon, and when you become the emperor, you must not have such a weapon!"
Fall into the hands of others! β
"Yes!"
Li Wenzhong is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, and he is deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and is calm, but this person has a bad habit, that is, he is very repulsive to outsiders.
He doesn't like foreigners, men or women.
Zhu Yuanzhang knows this.
He knew very well why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use him as an experiment, just to deter these gringos!
He turned back and commanded, and then stood aside and watched what happened.
The partial general next to Li Wenzhong, named Li Tie, a family of three, also eats at the Li family on weekdays, and also eats at the Li family, and can also be said to be a general of the Li family.
Li Wenzhong represents the wealth of Li Tie's family, such a person is equivalent to the Li family's personal guards, they are all the personal guards under Li Wenzhong, and they are also the bravest and most loyal personal guards!
Li Tie came here just to make a fuss.
He not only asked the soldiers to place the cannons beside the Goryeo envoys, but also aimed the cannons at them from time to time, so that the envoys were startled and quickly dodged!
"Hey, hey, hey!" Li Tie took the dagger and knocked on the muzzle:
"What's going on, can't you see it? In this kind of place, it's better not to walk around casually, lest people mistake them for bandits! β
"You don't have to tell me, just cut it off!"
One was Matsuda Ryuhei, a native of Dongying, who served as a staff officer in his general's office, and the other was a Goryeo native who was subordinate to Li Sung-gye's general, Kim Yunchang.
The two of them trembled and approached Li Tie.
"My lord, it's not us messing around, it's ......"
Li Tie lazily interjected:
"I'm not a Commander anymore, I'm just a Commander!"
"Ugh!" Although Li Tie interjected unceremoniously, they were not angry because of this.
"yes, that's it."
Li Tie said angrily:
"Call me the Commander!"
The soldiers around Li Tie were even more forced to laugh, even the soldiers who were adjusting the artillery laughed along, which made Matsuda Ryu calm down.
Ryuhei Matsuda took a deep breath.
"Commander, it's your cannon......"
"Why should I set off firecrackers? My baby? Do you want me to add a name to your family tree in our old Li family? β
Seeing Matsuda Ryuhei's angry face, but without a speaking expression, Li Tie glanced at him again:
"Matsuda Ryuhei, who are you? Damn it! Even if you rely on you, you dare to call yourself a dragon? β
"Well, how about I change your name to Matsuda Shohei?
As he spoke, he smiled at the soldiers beside him.
Several soldiers next to him couldn't help but laugh when they saw that their leader was laughing.
If Matsuda Ryuhei continues like this, he will really become a turtle with a shrunken head, and he is very angry:
"This commander is really rude, I have always heard that Ming Guo pays attention to etiquette, but today's behavior of this commander really chills me!"
Li Tie snorted fiercely at Matsuda Ryuhei, and a trace of murder flashed in his eyes:
"Who do you think you are?"
As he spoke, he picked up a flintlock pistol from the side, and a bullet hit Namatuda Ryuhei's heart.
Be careful! β
Matsuda Ryuhei sat on the ground, and after a while, he found that his body was not in pain at all, so he climbed down from the bed and reached out to grope his body, but he didn't find anything.
At this time, Li Tie and the others laughed:
"Hehehehehe, this idiot!"
"I was wrong, my stupid, there's something in my gun, not bullets!"
"You...... You...... Yaga! β
Li Wenzhong saw that the Dongying envoy was so angry, so he no longer pretended not to see it, and slowly took his finger and walked towards him slowly:
"What's going on?"
Matsuda Ryu calmly did not fight in one place.
"General, general, general, your men are so rude!"
Li Wenzhong glanced at Li Tie and said casually:
"Nonsense! I am a man of the Ming Dynasty, and my soldiers are also a man of the Ming Dynasty, what does it have to do with me? β
"Well, you can call me 'Admiral' because I'm Admiral!"
Matsuda suppressed the anger in his heart, but he still wanted to express his anger in words, because this is his home turf.
"Commander, you are really rude from the Ming Dynasty!"
"Oh?" Li Wenzhong suddenly became interested:
"What do you think?"
Ryuhei Matsuda pointed to his abdomen with a finger:
"This kind of thing, in our Dongying, we should let him die by himself!"
"Damn......" Li Wenzhong scolded in his heart, but on the surface he was regretful:
"Then I'm sorry!"
"Da Ming doesn't allow this to happen!"
Matsuda Ryuhei was a little unconvinced:
"What do you think?"
General Li Wenzhong thought for a while and said:
"How about I give you a copper plate? You're not hurt anyway! β
"No way!" Matsuda Ryuhei also said angrily: "I am the special envoy of Dongying, and being so humiliated by him is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and this matter must not be revealed."
"The bigger the butt, the bigger your face! Li Wenzhong glared at him angrily: "Don't embarrass me!"
"Sorry, I'll go first!"
turned around and said to Li Tiedao:
"Bring two copper plates!"
As he spoke, he turned and left.
He turned around and glanced at the high platform.
"Look, this is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if you are not convinced, you can go to my uncle to complain about me!"
"No, the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty are here, if you really have the ability, go to them to settle accounts!"
"I definitely don't blame you"
Matsuda Ryuhei looked at Li Dai blankly, and after a while, he bowed his head suddenly, with a decadent face.
Speaking of this, the hatred in her heart became stronger, the other party was observing the military exercises of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to learn something from it, which is also the consistent style of their Japanese, from the Tang Dynasty to the present, they are absorbing the resources of China to improve themselves.
Even the pirates who gave the Ming Dynasty a headache were instructed by the Japanese to go to the south of the Ming River to rob, because the Japanese had poor resources and were blocked by the Ming people, so the life of the Japanese was very difficult.
The other is to prevent the Ming Dynasty's worries: if their worries pass and they directly send troops to Dongying, with their current strength, they will not be able to resist it at all.
Although all this is because of Da Ming and because of his country, he will never accept such humiliation.
Li Wenzhong took the lead, his face was gloomy, and Li Tie said tentatively on the side:
"The patriarch seems to be a little unhappy?"
Li Wenzhong turned around, looked at him and said, "Shouldn't I be happy?" β
"It's nature!" Li Tie said as it should be:
"After repelling the arrogance of the Japanese and playing the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, we are naturally happy!"
"Alas!" Li Wenzhong let out a long sigh, and then said:
"I don't like them, but there's no need to use this kind of indiscriminate trick!"
"The emperor doesn't like them, but he doesn't like them either! I just punished you a little bit and made you spit in front of him. β
"Do you think this will disgrace our country?"
"This is not the glory of the country! If you have the strength, you can go straight to the battle. β
7. Let them fear you and respect you from the bottom of their hearts, this is our country! β
Li Tie was making a toast: "Yes, his subordinates are guilty!" β
After a long time, Li Wenzhong finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart:
"Phew, is it comfortable?"
"Oh my God, I've never done anything like this!"
"There's no next time!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
When the army returned to the city after the parade, Zhu Xiongying was still thinking about how to increase the power of these cannons.
As for the cannon, not to mention, the difficulty is just too great!
However, if he had a way, he could still succeed, because his firearms were still rudimentary.
Not to mention that this thing often explodes, and the most important thing is that the carapace of this thing is made of bronze and metal, and it won't be long before this thing will be burned to ashes!
In battle, how can there be time to get water to cool the musket? Maybe even pee when the fire is on!
"Forget it, don't worry, I'm still young!"
Just when he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a village in front of him, a group of men, women and children were shouting loudly, so lively!
Zhu Yuanzhang was confused, holding a bronze mirror, covering his eyes with a parasol, and looking ahead.
"Why is it so noisy, what's going on?"
Guo Ying stepped forward, he had been in the army for many years, and he rarely read books, but his eyes were very sharp, and he was slightly puzzled:
"It looks like you're slaughtering sheep."
"Slaughtering sheep?" Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled: "It's not a big day now, what kind of sheep to slaughter?" β
"I don't know about that!" Guo Ying's tone was as ruffian as ever: "My lord, why don't we go in?" I see that there are also many women in this village who are breastfeeding their sons. β
......"
"Go, go!" The old man was a little displeased: "You are in your forties!" Have it? β
"No, how can the flowers at home compare to the flowers outside!"
Guo Ying was still desperately looking ahead, but he saw his father holding his hands high, with an expression of wanting to hit him, and said, "If you want to be a big person, let the people outside come to see it, how prickly!" β
Then, Guo Ying showed a lewd smile on his face and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"And, Boss, who are you?"
"Seeing that the people of Daming live and work in peace and contentment, without worrying about food and clothing, isn't it a New Year's festival to have a good fruit, aren't you excited?"
"Even if you want to play with everyone, you have to play with everyone!"
"Everything else is different!"
"And then?" Zhu Yuanzhang was really moved:
"Let's go."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Let's go!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned around: "Little Si, how did you find out that she is a widowed woman?" β
"Hello! How could a dignified and manly husband be a wet nurse in the village? β
"What the you... Well said, kind of interesting! β
At this time, Zhu Xiongying saw that the convoy stopped, and the old man and Guo Ying on the side also lowered their voices.
As he spoke, he chatted with Li Wenzhong about the military exercises.
Zhu Xiongying has been listening carefully to Li Wenzhong's story, because on the battlefield, Li Wenzhong is also his teacher!
"Your Majesty, the battle formations that I practiced just now are all used to deal with light armor, but when facing heavy armor, they are useless."
Li Wenzhong was trained by his father, and under his leadership, he fought in the south and the north, and was invincible.
He is also a famous military general in the Ming Dynasty, and his commanding ability is also first-class.
Li Wenzhong said thoughtfully:
"The biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty now is the prairie."
"Our Ming army, mainly infantry, if there is no change in the battle formation, and the iron cavalry rushes to the front, it will be a catastrophe!"
"Father!" Li Jinglong, who had been watching very seriously from the sidelines, suddenly interrupted him.
"What if we are attacked?"
Li Wenzhong turned around, glared angrily, no longer paid attention to Li Jinglong, turned around, and smiled at Zhu Xiongying:
"In today's game, because of the rush of time, we can only show so many tactics, our attack, defense, field battle, water battle, fire battle, all of which have not been displayed."
"In response to that sentence, everything is unpredictable, unpredictable"
Speaking of this, Li Wenzhong's voice stopped abruptly:
"I also know that the prince likes military affairs and likes to collect all kinds of military books!"
Then, he turned around and said to Li Jinglong beside him:
"However, if you want to teach the soldiers well, you can't just read books, if the prince has something to do in the palace, you can ask Jiujiang (Li Jinglong's pen name) to accompany the prince to the army in Beijing and watch the soldiers train, so that it can be better, the prince ......"
"Yes, yes, my lord, there are a lot of good horses in Beijing, we can go in and sit!" Li Jinglong didn't wait for his father to finish speaking, so he preemptively said.
Li Wenzhong suddenly shouted: "I'm talking to my grandson, when will it be your turn to intervene!" β
He raised his hand and slapped Li Jinglong in the face a few times.
Zhu Xiongying smiled: "The ancients said that discipline is not strict, let alone Li Jinglong, even the other princes in the palace are also beaten by their fathers every day." β
Li Wenzhong shook the horsewhip twice, then turned around and showed a smile at Zhu Xiongying:
"The child is stupid, but he knows how to be loyal to His Majesty..."
Li Wenzhong is also helpless about this, since he led the army to the expedition two years ago, his body has become weaker and weaker day by day.
Although he was only in his 40s, he felt as if his heart had been cut with a knife at night, and he vomited blood every day for the past two days.
His days are coming to an end, and he's going to reach out to his parents, but that little guy in Jiujiangβ
Li Wenzhong raised his hand, covered his mouth, cleared his throat, turned to Li Jinglong and said:
He is his father's adopted son and his father's nephew, he has suffered a lot of favors in the court, fought on the battlefield, killed countless people, and died soon, but he is most worried about his son.
Fortunately, the emperor was very interested in soldiers, so although the emperor did not approve, he did not openly oppose it.
Yes, taking the opportunity to talk and laugh with his grandson, he must pull down this face and seek a good future for his children.
Although his title can be hereditary, there is a big difference between his title and a high-ranking title.
As for the money, he also looted a lot in the war, and Cao Guogong did not lack these, but if he was defeated and died, and there was no one in the family to preside over the overall situation, this money would become a disaster.
This Deng Yu was just killed? The eldest daughter became the concubine of Prince Qin, but the Deng family showed signs of weakness!
Li Wenzhong also thinks so, he is in the court, in the opposition, his status, his merits, his power, and everything about him, he can see it clearly, so he will push out his descendants when he is about to die.
It stands to reason that the best choice should be the heir to the throne, but the heir to the throne does not need it, and the qualifications of the heir to the throne are not enough, and the heir to the throne may not like it.
Besides, he has such a good relationship with him, he has no reason to do this, even if something happens in the future, he will not find trouble for himself.
The most important thing is three generations!
So, at the same time, they remembered the emperor's grandson.
But this is the first incense!
Guo Ying's family has Guo Ming and Guo Zhen, Ping Bao'er's family has Ping Tan, and Mu Ying's family has Mu Chun and Mu Sheng, all of whom are not very old!
Actually, she doesn't have to worry so much, but her body.... She is now a great hero, she must have a good relationship with her eldest grandson and her son, and it depends on herself how much she can achieve in the future!
