The 15th day of August in the 26th year of Hongwu does not seem to be much different from the past.

When is the same bright moon, and the same people are about after dusk.

It was a beautiful night, and on the street, people carried lanterns, and the beautiful lanterns represented the joy in people's hearts. Small traders and hawkers sell their goods wantonly, attracting tourists.

The bustling crowd is endless, and rubbing shoulders here is no longer a metaphor, but a fact. Even so, it is also a skill that the lion and dragon dance team can still find a suitable gap in the crowd to move forward.

The big girls and little daughters-in-law also rarely took to the streets, but in this situation... A few shy whispers were inevitable. There are many thieves, and there are many people who take advantage.

"Whoosh~"

"Smack!"

A clear sound sounded one after another, and the fireworks bloomed wantonly in the sky, and the "stars like rain" was the scene.

Standing on the Wufeng Tower, Zhu Yuanzhang watched the prosperity of the city, opened his hands, and said with a hearty smile: "This is the great tomorrow, this is the Jiangshan Sheji of my Zhu family for thousands of generations." ”

"It's a pity that this month is not long, and this scene is difficult to stay for a long time. Behind him, Xu Ruyi thought to himself.

seemed to feel that Xu Ruyi's emotions were wrong, Lao Zhang quietly pointed at Xu Ruyi and clicked on Xu Ruyi.

Xu Ruyi turned his head to look, only to see Lao Zhang glaring at him with a straight face, and then immediately pulled a very natural smile on his face.

Sichuan's change of face is nothing more than that. Xu Ruyi complained secretly, but he barely had a smile on his face, but it wasn't so natural.

The night breeze gradually rose, blowing the cold imperial mind.

didn't turn around, his eyes were still deep, and he still looked into the distance: "I am very happy that you were able to enter the palace early in the morning to tell me the news of Lanyu, which shows that what you said in the past about the slave and maid duties are also true, not just talking."

In fact, I had already guessed what Lan Yu wanted to rebel against, and even today's opportunity was given to him by me.

What is so strange about a group of rabble in Shu winning the war? I am just looking for an excuse to make Nanjing more lively. Excitement is chaos, if it's not chaos, how can he rebel?"

Maybe it was because he drank two more glasses of wine at dinner, which made Zhu Yuanzhang's words extra much today: "He has won a hundred battles, why can't I, Zhu Yuanzhang, kill Wuji?

Teng Xiang Siwei has been transferred to the palace by me to take care of the four gates, and the three major battalions of the forbidden army have been operated by Lan Yu for many years, at most he can only move one 3,000 battalions, so he wants to take my life? Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

Xu Ruyi sighed in his heart: "In fact, he himself knows that he can't succeed, but he just knows that he can't do it." ’

Xu Ruyi. ”

"The slave is here. ”

"Maybe it won't be calm tonight, Yun Wei is timid, you go and accompany him. "The old man is not worried about his grandson. Perhaps only at this moment is Zhu Yuanzhang more like a flesh-and-blood person.

"Yes. Xu Ruyi knelt and kowtowed, and then went down the stairs to Wufeng Tower.

On the way to the East Palace, Xu Ruyi kept recalling the meeting with Lan Yu yesterday evening. What impressed him the most was the sentence "Eat his face with blood." ”

The last battle of a generation of heroes, two heroes go head-to-head, one is waiting for battle, and the other is generous to death. What a tragic battle it will be!

Xu Ruyi wanted to witness this scene with his own eyes, but his heart told him that he was not qualified enough, and his heart was not ruthless or hard enough. If he really saw a blue jade covered in blood, his reaction might have been more than he imagined. Maybe staying by Zhu Yunwen's side for a quiet night, with his eyes closed and open, is not a bad thing.

Although he planned to do so, Xu Ruyi's mind suddenly thought of the strange answer that Lan Yu gave when he talked about the winning rate last night, "one and a half"

Why one and a half?

Was it a casual number or did he really do the math?

If so, how?

Before he could come up with an answer, Xu Ruyi had already walked to the East Palace, the door of Zhu Yunwen's bedroom.

At this time, I think he is already asleep. Xu Ruyi thought about it, put down the hand that was about to knock on the door, turned around and sat down on the stone steps in front of the palace door, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, thinking about his thoughts randomly.

"Grandpa Xu. A slightly reverent voice sounded behind him, and when Xu Ruyi turned around, it turned out to be Zhu Yunwen's personal attendant Xiaoyuanzi, who had eaten grilled fish together last time.

"What's the matter?, didn't sleep?" Xu Ruyi patted the stone steps beside him and motioned for Xiao Yuanzi to sit down and speak.

Xiao Yuanzi sat down flattered, with an excited expression: "Sleep, didn't sleep." The prince sleeps, the little one doesn't... ”

"Why are you so nervous, take it easy, I'm not a monster. Xu Ruyi looked at Xiao Yuanzi funny, a little unclear.

"Hiss~" Xiaoyuanzi took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, barely loosening the strings, although the voice was still a little nervous, but he could finally understand "The prince fell asleep, but the little one couldn't sleep, so he wanted to come out to see the moon." ”

"Homesick?" Xu Ruyi asked.

"Well, the little one... ”

"Don't keep calling yourself small, it's uncomfortable to listen to. Xu Ruyi smiled: "My name is Xu Ruyi, what about you?"

"The little one ... Xiao Yuanzi subconsciously spoke, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Xiao Yuanzi." ”

"What about your real name?" Xu Ruyi asked again, "You can't be born like this, right?"

This is also the rule of entering the palace. Anyone who enters the palace must change their names, some can still leave a surname, and some directly change their surnames. For example, the famous Liu Jin, whose family name is Tan, was Liu who changed his surname with his godfather after entering the palace. There is also a nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, formerly known as Li Jinzhong, which is also a truth.

"I... My name is Liu Xi, well, Liu Xi. As if he wasn't sure, Xiaoyuanzi said it twice in a row.

"Why, I forgot my name?" said Xu Ruyi.

"Hey, hey. Liu Xi was a little embarrassed: "It's true that I haven't called it for a long time." ”

Xu is Xu Ruyi's casual attitude affected Liu Xi, making him gradually relax: "Father-in-law, you are really amazing, you can be the factory father of the East Factory." ”

"It's nothing, isn't it still a subordinate. ”

"It's not the same. Liu Xizheng said: "With you, we in the palace also feel hopeful." ”

"Hope, what hope, you want to usurp the throne~" Xu Ruyi made a joke and touched Liu Xi's shoulder.

"No, no, no. The small ones don't think about it. Liu Xi hurriedly shook his head and denied: "The little one just thinks that one day he can be an errand under his father-in-law." ”

"Really?" Xu Ruyi squeezed his eyes: "Then you have to work hard, people say that both civil and military." Even if you can't do it, you are so good in the civil and military world, otherwise you won't be able to enter the East Factory. ”

"The little one ... Small. Liu Xi scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a long time, and finally said gloomily: "I will only serve people." ”

didn't want to hit Liu Xi, Xu Ruyi pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, how about accepting you as the inside line of my East Factory now?"

"Really?" Liu Xi jumped up happily, but then wondered: "What is the inside line?"

"The inside line, the inside line is... Xu Ruyi explained: "In short, in the future, the Dora gang will gang up, and report to me if there is any news, if you have made meritorious contributions, I will pass on your skills and let you officially enter my East Factory, how about it?"

"Hmm!" Liu Xi nodded heavily, his face full of excitement.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Three thousand battalions, one of the three major battalions of the forbidden army. The reason why it is called the 3,000 battalion is because when this battalion was formed, it was reorganized and expanded with 3,000 Mongolian cavalry as the backbone.

The three major battalions of the forbidden army are divided into the Shenji Battalion, the Five Army Battalions, and the 3,000 Battalions.

The battle is generally the three battalions cooperate with each other, the five battalions are infantry, and the Shenji battalion is a long-range attack force, during the battle, the artillery of the Shenji battalion attacks first, and when the enemy is close with firearms, then the five battalions pounce to block the enemy, and when the enemy appears in decline or the battle of the five battalions is unfavorable, the cavalry of the three thousand battalions rushes to kill with all their might.

The three battalions are extremely powerful together, but if they are taken out alone, it is still the three thousand battalions with the highest combat power. There is no way, the firearms failure rate of the Shenji battalion is too high, and the five military battalions are infantry, and the two together are not as good as the 3,000 battalions with horses.

Of course, the 3,000 Battalion is now only called the 3,000 Battalion, and the real number has reached 10,000.

Although it was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the three camps did not have a holiday, but they paid an extra month's salary, which is also a common practice. It's right to think about it, if tens of thousands of soldiers who have seen the sow race sable cicada enter the city on this day, it is estimated that Nanjing City will be turned over.

The forbidden army is different from other guards, they do not produce, do not have their own military fields, and most of them are training-oriented on weekdays, so they are the most elite.

After eating, the big soldiers of the three battalions were more than a dozen people, dozens of people gathered together, and it was also the Mid-Autumn Festival, although they could not leave the camp and enter the city, but they also had their own liveliness.

"Big, big, big!"

"Small! small!"

"Open!" the dealer lifted the dice bell and laughed loudly: "One, two, three, six o'clock small!"

"Hahaha!" the laughter rang out, and the winner put the money in front of him.

"Oops. Sighing in annoyance, his face was tangled when he lost, lamenting his bad luck while considering the possibility of reversing.

The scene of the three battalions is mostly the same, but there are some slight differences in the three thousand battalions. In a large area to the west of the camp, more than 3,000 stout men led their horses in their hands, and their voices seemed to be saying something.

Compared with the hot gambling here, the scene here is much more lonely. But no one cares, no one cares. A group of Mongols, talking to their horses as usual, neurotic, what about them?

And the Mongols themselves don't care, so what about the Mid-Autumn Festival? This is a festival of the Han people, not theirs.

In the night sky, a strange firework exploded, seemingly faintly forming the shape of a knife.

In front of the military tent in the 3,000 battalions, Li Hu, the governor of the Left Army, saw the signal he had been waiting for for a long time, turned around and walked into the tent.

"Grandpa's signal?" Duane asked in a deep voice.

"Out. Li Hu nodded.

"What about Zou Xian and Feng Yuan?"

"It's all ready. ”

"Okay!" Du An didn't say anything more, stood up, and walked outside, followed by Li Hu.

。。。。。。

"Governor!"

"Governor!"

"Why are you here?"

When the scattered soldiers saw Li Hu and Du An, they stepped forward to say hello one after another, after all, they had only come a few days ago, and they couldn't forget it for a while.

The two of them had a calm attitude, and from time to time they gave up their hands and replied casually: "Ah." Just take a look at it," "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, see how the brothers are doing." ”

At this moment,

"Knock Knock Knock"

One after another, drums rang out, resounding throughout the camp. Everyone was stunned, and then grabbed the money in front of them and ran towards the school grounds.

Chasing souls will be drummed, and those who have not arrived at the three-way drum will be decided!

This is an iron law in the army, and no one dares to violate it.

I have to say that the Ming army during the Hongwu period was not the later old soldiers, and the combat strength and military discipline were still first-class.

After the three-way drumming was finished, Feng Yuan put down the drumstick in his hand, came to the general's platform, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, I am Feng Yuan, the governor of the Left Army's Governor's Mansion! The White Lotus Sect in the capital intends to cause chaos, and now it has entered the imperial city, closed the four gates, and the emperor's safety is only in danger!"

A middle-aged man dressed as a civil official and wearing a scarlet robe next to him also said loudly: "This official is Zou Xian, the right attendant of the military department, and what General Feng Yuanfeng said just now is the matter." Now, this official has brought the emperor's will, and transferred 3,000 battalions of soldiers to urgently enter the palace to escort King Qin, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

"This... Really fake?!" Although the middle and high-level have long known the inside story, the soldiers at the bottom are still kept in the dark, and this big drama is also played for them, as long as they are taken out of the battalion, the rest will be easy to say.

While all the soldiers were discussing, Du An jumped on the platform with Li Hu and said to Zou Xian: "I am Du An, the Governor of the Left Army!

"Please!" Zou Xian was also unambiguous, and reached out and stuffed the holy decree into Duan's hand.

On the school field, everyone's eyes were focused on Duane, waiting for the final result.

Du An's holy decree calmly unfolded, looked left and right, and then raised his head and said loudly: "Brothers, I have read the holy decree!

At this moment, no one doubted the truth of the holy decree, and the scene was a little noisy for a while, and it was inevitable that he would be a little excited when he was about to go to the battlefield to see blood.

Suddenly, a black horse galloped towards the side of the general platform, and immediately a general, wearing a silver helmet, wearing silver armor, a soap robe, and a dragon and phoenix ring knife, shining in the moonlight.

The "Herod's Law" black horse stopped in front of the general's platform, and immediately the general shouted: "A certain is the blue jade of the Ming Liang Kingdom, can you still recognize it?"

"In the past, a certain belt and others went on an expedition to the desert, can you still remember?"

"Today, the imperial city is broken, the situation is in crisis, the emperor is in danger, a certain want to lead you and wait for the sky to protect you, and you are willing to follow?"

A series of three questions shocked the whole army.

After a moment of silence, a shocking shout rang out: "Follow the general to the death!"

Knives, unsheathed!
