"Huang Gongzi, be cautious!"

Fu Youde finally couldn't help but remind him.

He knew that although the emperor was called Hongwu, he used troops cautiously all his life, and he was even more afraid that future generations would be arrogant, frivolous, and reckless in using troops, thus causing trouble.

In the Emperor's ancestral teachings, the emperor clearly wrote, I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's prosperity and strength, be greedy for temporary military achievements, and raise troops for no reason, resulting in injuries.

So will the emperor's grandson's such aggressive remarks ruin his previous perfect image in the emperor's mind?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "It's okay, our eldest grandson said it very well, we are very happy!" ”

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is really happy, he was born as a martial artist, and the world was beaten down by him, of course he knows that the truth in this world is on the tip of the knife, if he really believes in the Confucian set of Huairou Yuanren, then he is not Zhu Yuanzhang now, but Zhu Chongba!

Later, he listed the countries that were not to be conquered, firstly, he did not put these small countries in his eyes, thinking that the land was not enough to supply, and the people were not enough to make orders, to put it bluntly, he felt that it was useless to defeat them, and secondly, it was also the founding of the Ming Dynasty not long ago, and it was in urgent need of stability, and the northern Mengyuan was still the most thief-minded, and it was the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and the southeast was to appease, and the emperor also wrote in the ancestral training that Hu Rong was approaching the northwest of China, and the world was a border trouble, so he must choose to train his troops, and be careful when he was prepared.

In short, Zhu Yuanzhang used troops cautiously, but he was never afraid of using them.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he went north to the depths of Mobei and took Annan to the south, but these places were returned to later generations.

At this time, Feng Sheng, who had not spoken much, raised a question: "Childe, you said that let the vassal kings control it, they can almost be said to be independent and become a country, if it is a few generations later, it is difficult for them to guarantee that they will not rebel!" ”

Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "Even if the vassal kings want to rebel, think about it, who are they?" ”

Feng Sheng was stunned, not understanding why Huang Xiongying suddenly asked this inexplicable question, and subconsciously said, "What person?" Isn't that an anti-thief! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile: "What stupid, they are Han!" ”

"Yes!"

Huang Xiongying nodded heavily: "Han people infighting, it is better than being bullied by foreigners, besides, the world is bigger, beyond our imagination, my grandson also read some miscellaneous books in his spare time, which said that the sea is endless, on the other side of the sea, there is a large amount of land, and the resources there are inexhaustible for my descendants of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Why should they rebel? All they have to do is conquer more lands! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he listened, and the thing he cared about most in his life was to hope that the Ming Dynasty he had laid down would be forever, forever prosperous, and forever for generations.

Since Qin Shi Huang unified Kyushu, the longest of all dynasties was only more than 300 years of the Song Dynasty, and it was also divided into the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, so the lifespan of a dynasty was about two or three hundred years.

After two or three hundred years, there will be a series of problems such as bloated institutions and land annexation.

And Dasun's words today can be said to have opened the door to a new world for Zhu Yuanzhang and given him a direction to solve this problem.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that even if he doesn't fight, his eldest grandson will definitely fight after he takes the throne.

Then why not take advantage of the fact that he is still alive to defeat the Japanese kingdom first, so as to confirm whether what his eldest grandson said is feasible?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt good and said with a smile: "The eldest grandson is right, but the first thing we need to do now is to get rid of the coastal pirates first!" ”

"Hmm."

Huang Xiongying nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I brought you Grandpa Song here today, just to talk about this matter, didn't you say last time that there was a set of formations to deal with the Japanese invaders?" Your grandfather Song, who is familiar with the art of war and has a high attainment in formation, let him come over to check it. ”

"The emperor praised it falsely!"

Feng Sheng humbled up, but a touch of arrogance that was not easy to wipe on his face unconsciously flashed.

Huang Xiongying's rhetoric about the basic national policy just now shocked him.

The idea of the emperor's grandson is really bold and groundbreaking, no wonder he can create a god such as a mirror, and no wonder the emperor likes to come here so much, except for the identity of the emperor's grandson, this young man is still an unborn genius!

But when it comes to the Art of War formation, he also has enough reason to be proud in front of this young genius.

In the five years of Hongwu, Wang Baobao was conquered on three routes, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong did not win, but he Feng Sheng won a lot.

In his life, he fought in the south and the north, except for the spring in Pingzhang, he was known as the most victorious.

So he was also looking forward to it, wanting to see what formation the emperor grandson could bring him, and of course he hoped that the emperor grandson could surprise him.

Because only a strong enough emperor grandson can these heroes who have made great achievements be free from the emperor's suspicion.

Otherwise, before the emperor leaves, I am afraid that they will be sent away first.

"That kid is ugly!"

Huang Xiongying said, asking Lao Xu to take down all the food on the table and empty the entire table.

"The art of war, the terrain, the help of the soldiers. Expect the enemy to win, calculate the danger far and near, and the way of the general is also. Those who know this and use war will win, and those who do not know this and use war will lose. ”

Hearing this, Feng Sheng bowed slightly.

I only heard Huang Xiongying continue: "There are many hills and ravines in the southeast coastal areas, rivers and canals, and narrow roads, so it is not easy to carry out large-scale operations. ”

"So if you want to deal with the Japanese invaders, you must be easy to move, have both long and short, both offensive and defensive."

Feng Sheng couldn't help nodding and said, "Well said." ”

He has fought all his life, of course, he knows the importance of adapting measures to local conditions, as the so-called land, far and near, dangerous, wide and narrow, life and death.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with a smile.

"And my set of formations is specifically designed to deal with the Japanese on this kind of terrain!"

Huang Xiongying said, stood up, took a few teacups from the side, put them on the table, and then said:

"You see, my formation is based on a small team of eleven people, and these eleven teacups represent eleven soldiers."

Huang Xiongying took a teacup and put it in front: "The first person is the captain, the second two are on both sides, one holds a long card, the other holds a rattan card, the long player holds a long shield to block the arrows and spears of the Japanese Kou, the rattan player holds a light rattan shield and carries a javelin and waist knife, the long player and the rattan player mainly cover the rear team to advance, and the rattan player can also fight with the enemy in close combat in addition to covering." ”

Huang Xiongying first placed three cups in front of him, while Zhu Yuanzhang, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde listened attentively.

The three of them are all battle-hardened, their eyes are like knives, and if there is any loophole, they can almost be said to be able to see it at a glance.

Under the gaze of the three super masters, Huang Xiongying was not nervous, and said slowly:

"The first three people and then the last two, is the wolf, the so-called wolf, is the common bamboo in the south, choose its old and solid, the end of the bamboo obliquely cut into a pointed shape, and leave the sharp branches around it, each wolf is about a zhang long."

"The Wolf Warrior uses the blade at the front of the Wolf Lance to assassinate the enemy to cover the shield player's advance and the spearman's attack behind."

As he spoke, Huang Xiongying brought four more teacups, put them behind the wolf's hand, and said:

"These four are spearmen with spears, two on the left and two on the right, and they take care of the shield-bearers and wolf-bearers on the left and right sides of the front."

Immediately after, Huang Xiongying took the last two cups and put them behind the entire formation.

"The last two to follow were soldiers armed with boring palladium (agricultural tools, similar to Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed nail rake), who were mainly engaged in guarding, supporting, and other work, such as the enemy's roundabout attack, and the short men rushed forward with short knives to slash the enemy."

Huang Xiongying's voice fell, and the whole room was silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde all frowned, looking at the formations on the table, and thinking back to what Huang Xiongying had just said.

They really can't find anything wrong with this formation.

The spear and the shield, the long and the short are closely combined, echoing from the beginning to the end, giving full play to the effectiveness of various weapons, as Huang Xiongying said at the beginning, it is convenient to move, long and short, both offensive and defended.

If there is anything wrong with it, it is that this set of formations is not suitable for large-scale operations, only suitable for small-scale operations, and it can be said that it is very suitable for suppressing Kou, so it can be said that it is the only three gods of war left in the Ming Dynasty who have experienced a hundred battles, and they can't find fault for a while.

Perfect.

The perfect Suppression Formation.

The trace of arrogance on Feng Sheng's face had long since disappeared, and his breathing became a little short.

This emperor's eldest grandson is actually a military genius like his grandfather!

Not to mention anything else, just talking about this formation, if you are not proficient in the art of war, you can't put it out if you have experienced a hundred battles, but the emperor's grandson is just a teenager who has never been on the battlefield.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the three big men with almost sluggish expressions on the side, and when he looked at Huang Xiongying again, his eyes were full of admiration.

Under a few stunned gazes, Huang Xiongying stood tall and jade, and said without changing his face:

"This formation can also be adapted, changing the column into a horizontal team is called the two instrument array, and the two instrument array can be changed into a three-talent array, and the three-talent array is suitable for both attack and defense, suitable for narrow terrain such as mountains and forests, roads, and ridges."

"Aren't the Japanese robbers flexible in combat and good at hand-to-hand combat? The use of this array is flexible and mobile, which just inhibits the play of the advantage of the Japanese invaders! ”

"If our Ming Dynasty's troops adopt this formation, they will definitely be able to kill the Japanese without leaving a piece of armor!"

Looking at Huang Xiongying, who was full of confidence, the three Ming gods of war were all distracted for a while, and their eyes changed when they looked at Huang Xiongying.

Good for a while.

Feng Shengcai burst into a shout: "Good formation!" ”

Feng Sheng, who had not commanded the army for several years, actually had a feeling of being ready to move at this moment, and he couldn't wait to test the power of this formation immediately.

And Fu Youde stroked his beard, with a look of relief, and after glancing at Zhu Yuanzhang's smiling face, there were two words in his heart: stable!

"Stinky boy, you told us at the beginning that you had a spell for a while and might be able to help you with it, but we almost ignored it, should you fight?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile, and then asked with a smile: "Big Sun, what is the name of your formation?" ”

Huang Xiongying replied: "This array is called the Mandarin Duck Array!" ”

In fact, this array was not created by Huang Xiongying, but by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general.

This formation has played a great role in the process of fighting against the Japanese invaders, and it has made great contributions.

The weapons used by the Japanese are Japanese knives, bows and arrows, and spears, but in front of the Mandarin Duck Array, the Japanese knives are difficult to get close, the bows and arrows cannot penetrate the shields, and the spears are not as long as the Ming army, and they cannot get close to each other alive or dead, which can be called crushing.

The results speak for themselves.

Battle of Huajie in Taizhou: 308 beheaded, 2 beheaded, the rest drowned and uncut are unknown, and only 3 people including Chen Wenqing were sacrificed.

The first battle of Baishuiyang: Our enemy compared 1,500 against more than 2,000, annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, beheaded 344 Japanese soldiers, captured 5 Japanese heads alive, and only sacrificed Chen Si and 3 others.

Surprise attack on the Ushida Woko: Defeated tens of thousands of Wako, beheaded 688, and no one on his side died.

……

The list goes on and on.

Even later generations of public security special police teams also borrowed this set of formations when facing knife-wielding bandits.

Therefore, it is natural that Zhu Yuanzhang and others can't find fault.

This set can be called a milestone formation, and Huang Xiongying certainly wants him to shine earlier.

It's just that it's inconvenient for him to say General Qi's name.

However, in his heart, there is a lot of admiration for this famous anti-Japanese general......

"Eldest grandson, let's find you eleven people, you help us put that ...... The mandarin duck array is practiced, let's talk to the emperor, is it okay? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with a smile and said.

Huang Xiongying nodded: "Of course you can." ”

With Huang Xiongying's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted out the door:

"Xiao Jiang!"

Hearing the shout, Jiang Xuan, who was secretly observing outside the door, trembled slightly, and hurriedly trotted in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "Master, what are your orders?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go and pick eleven good domestic servants, send them here tomorrow, and hand them over to your young master, all on the orders of your young master, understand?" ”

"The little one understands!"

Jiang Xuan hurriedly bowed respectfully in response......

……

At the same time, Liu's house, inside the study.

Zhao Mian, the head of the household, is visiting his father-in-law, Liu Sanwu, a bachelor of Hanlin.

Zhao Mian is in a high position, but he is only in his forties.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Zhao Mian ranked seventy-first in the second class of Jinshi, and Shen Wei and Hou Yong were also on the same list.

In the imperial examination, Zhao Mian's results were not top-notch. But within four years of being an official, Zhao Mian was able to climb to the top of the household book, which shows that he is capable.

Of course, he also has a good old man, Liu Sanwu, a bachelor of Hanlin.

After Zhao Mian and Liu Sanwu chatted a few words, they suddenly stood up, walked to the window and looked left and right, closed the window, and then said in a low voice:

"Father, why did you say that the emperor suddenly changed? In the past, the Japanese State disobeyed the emperor several times, and the emperor endured it and did not raise troops to conscript, so why did he suddenly want to suppress the Japanese on a large scale this time, and even to conquest the Japanese State? ”

Hearing this, Liu Sanwu glanced at Zhao Mian and did not answer, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Zhao Mian saw it in his eyes and said curiously: "Father, do you know something?" ”

Liu Sanwu still drank his tea and didn't answer, but frowned slightly.

"Hey—"

Zhao Mian saw that Liu Sanwu refused to tell him, so he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Don't you know, how difficult it is for the household department now, almost every time the army was raised before, it was by printing additional treasure money in exchange for materials, and now the treasure money has been greatly depreciated among the people, and the people are miserable." ”

"The last time the disaster relief and the expedition of the blue jade, I didn't dare to give away the treasure money again, but fortunately, there is the appearance of the mirror, if this time I rashly go out to the Japanese country, the household department has no way except to print more treasure money!"

"And...... Even if the treasure money is printed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to exchange it for military supplies, and if it is forcibly collected, it will be a hardship for thousands of people! ”

Zhao Mian knew that Liu Sanwu was most concerned about the people of the world, so he moved the people out.

Really.

Liu Sanwu's brows furrowed even deeper, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "Your Majesty...... I'm afraid I've listened to slander! ”

"Slander?"

Zhao Mian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Whose slander?" ”

Liu Sanwu raised his eyes, glanced at Zhao Mian, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This matter is very important, you still don't know." ”

"Father!"

The fire of curiosity in Zhao Mian's heart has been ignited, how can he just give up, stand up, and say: "You have always taught us to be upright, honest and dare to speak, what the people are good for, and what the people are evil, why this time, but only promised?" ”

's words decisively hit Liu Sanwu's vital point.

Liu Sanwu was stunned for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that I, Tantanweng, would be taught a lesson by my son-in-law today, heh——"

"You're right, as courtiers, we should find a way to correct Your Majesty's words and deeds!"

Saying this, Zhao Mian sat down silently.

Liu Sanwu looked at Zhao Mian and said, "Don't you want to know who gave the emperor a message to suppress him?" Okay, I'll tell you, but a young man on the banks of the Qinhuai River! ”

"A teenager?"

Zhao Mian was stunned suddenly, and then said incredibly: "Is the emperor confused, how can he listen to a young man?" ”

Liu Sanwu shook his head and said slowly: "That young man's identity is not simple. ”

Zhao Mian looked at Liu Sanwu with burning eyes: "What is your identity?" The emperor can listen to him! ”

Liu Sanwu also looked at Zhao Mian and said slowly: "The emperor's grandson, Zhu Xiongying!" ”

"What?"

Zhao Mian opened his mouth as big as the mouth of a box, and was stunned for a moment, and then he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry.

Zhu ...... Cinnabar...... The Emperor's grandson...... Hasn't he been a shopper? ”

Liu Sanwu shook his head and said: "People are not as good as heaven, the emperor's grandson did not die, but lived among the people, and now he has been found by the emperor again." ”

After a long time, Zhao Mian reluctantly digested this information and recovered from the shock.

He finally understood why his father-in-law had been reluctant to say it.

The old man Hongwu is very old, the prince died not long ago, and at this time, the emperor's grandson, who has been dead for ten years, appeared, and the whole situation is afraid to change dramatically!

But he was also very glad that under his repeated questioning, he got such an important message.

Zhao Mian couldn't help but ask, "Father, what ...... Where is the emperor's grandson now? ”

Liu Sanwu looked at Zhao Mian directly, and said quietly: "Zhao Mian, do you want to find death?" ”

Zhao Mian suddenly woke up, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he hurriedly said: "Father, the child knows that he is wrong!" ”

Liu Sanwu nodded.

"Remember, it's good that you know about this matter, and you must not reveal half a word, understand?"

"The child understands!"

Zhao Mian nodded again and again.

"Okay, you go back first, as for persuading the emperor, we have to think about it in the long run."

"Well, the boy is leaving."

Zhao Mian said that he was about to get up and leave.

"Wait."

Liu Sanwu suddenly stopped Zhao Mian and frowned: "You go back and tell the little girl, let her be more restrained, otherwise you won't recognize me as a father!" ”
