The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 357 Zhu Yuanzhang's Murderous Intent

Since ancient times, poor culture and rich military.

Zhu Ying has never been stingy in building Xuanjiawei.

There is meat in every meal, and you will be full every meal.

As long as you can eat, you can eat whatever you want, any beef and mutton, and put it on a big basin.

Physical fitness is all about training and eating.

Without a strong body, those special trainings cannot be carried out at all. That is to say, among the current more than 8000 Xuanjiawei, the top 1000 are able to perform martial arts in the river naked in this severe winter.

In fact, Xuanjiawei winter swimming has been practiced many times in the military camp, and it has been a while since he went down the river to practice.

And this time, it was also Zhu Ying's intention.

Because the end of the year was approaching, many people came to the most lively capital in the whole Ming Dynasty.

Such as official reports, foreign ministers worship, businessmen buying and selling, etc., will all come to the capital.

Every year at this time, traders are counting on making a fortune, foreign ministers are counting on rewards from the kingdom, and local officials want to listen to the holy words.

For example, the court made some arrangements for next year.

Of course, when local officials rushed back to the capital at this time, most of them were looking forward to seeing if they could find some connections and activities.

Even if there is no chance, at least the official position can be stabilized.

New Year's greetings to the Shangguan in the capital, you can't be ambiguous.

Due to various factors, the current capital is almost at its busiest time. Zhu Ying asked Xuanjiawei to perform martial arts at the riverside wharf outside the Zhengyang Gate.

So far, the effect is very good.

The fame spread throughout the capital that day.

And the news soon reached Zhu Yuanzhang.

Out of curiosity, Zhu Yuanzhang asked his grandson to call Xuanjiawei over to have a look.

What kind of tiger and wolf teacher is it?

In the martial arts arena in the imperial palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the tall and mighty Xuanjiawei with firm eyes, and was very pleasantly surprised:

"Okay, that's great, this is the strongest army we've ever seen."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to praise him.

Being able to get the approval of Zhu Yuanzhang who has fought for a lifetime is enough to show how powerful the current Xuanjiawei is.

Just standing there, you can be as immovable as an ice sculpture.

The strong figure and fierce eyes all showed the strength of these soldiers.

"If there is an army of [-] people, it will be enough to sweep the world invincible. Even if there are [-] troops on the opposite side, they can directly charge and kill them."

"Da Sun, Xuanjiawei understands riding skills."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Ying replied with a smile: "Riding and arquebus need to be practiced every day. What my grandson wants to build is the fire cavalry. Even if the number is small, it should be of great use on the battlefield. "

"You can fight when you mount a horse, and you can also fight when you dismount. It can also be used for long-distance raids."

These soldiers can be said to have undergone all-round strong training, and their quality can be called a crime of the Ming Dynasty.

"A soldier who has never seen blood is not a good soldier. When Dasun is going to take it out and try it, he has to go to the battlefield and win the battle. Don't be a showman."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhu Ying replied: "The grandson just has this intention. After the spring, let them be led by the seventeenth uncle, and go to Shaanxi to see the blood. When the time comes, it is a mule or a horse. You will know after a walk."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the grandson was so relieved of the old seventeen, that he could even hand over his own bodyguard to him.

"It seems that Xiao Shiqi has to take advantage of his grandson's love. Such a soldier will give away the credit for nothing." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yingdao: "Seventeenth Uncle is good at planning, with such officers and men, he will be like a tiger with wings added. In addition to the constant information from Shaanxi, it should be possible to break through the vital points and put down the rebels in a very short period of time."

"Uncle Seventeen's biggest problem in the past was not whether he could win or not, but how to calm down quickly without causing too many casualties and delaying the spring plowing."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. The so-called rebels have never been taken seriously. There are so many elite soldiers and generals in the Ming Dynasty.

But thinking of military power generals, Zhu Yuanzhang had a few words in his heart that he wanted to say to Dasun.

When he waved his hand, Liu He immediately arranged for a carriage to come over.

In the Qianqing palace, the heat is overflowing, driving away the cold suffered just now.

"I'm getting older, and my bones can't bear it anymore. When I'm only two sticks of incense, I can't bear it anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his body was gradually warming up, and his hands and feet became more flexible, so he couldn't help sighing.

At this age, it's no longer about doing whatever you want.

Once in the palace, carriages were prohibited, and Zhu Yuanzhang walked wherever he went by himself.

It's no longer possible. Under the persuasion of the great grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang also arranged a carriage. The imperial doctor also said that he often suffers from cold and is prone to rheumatism.

"What did grandpa say, with such a body, even some adults in their 40s are not as good as those who are 50 years old, who can compare with grandpa."

"However, what the imperial doctor said is reasonable. No matter how good your body is, you have to keep it warm. Grandpa, don't try to be brave."

Zhu Ying sat next to the old man, and she didn't make any bows or salutes, just like ordinary grandparents, chatting briskly.

Zhu Yuanzhang enjoyed this feeling very much.

This is called real family happiness.

It was really unpleasant for other princes and grandchildren to see him trembling.

Feeling almost done, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to signal everyone to go out.

Liu He arranged for the maids and eunuchs to withdraw one by one, and then guarded two feet away from the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

"How is Sapphire recently?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this serious tone, Zhu Ying immediately understood what the old man meant, and replied:

"Lanyu has been dealing with various matters in the Department of Public Security during this period of time. As the end of the year is approaching, the Department of Public Security's affairs have also begun to get busy."

"Those Huaixi disciples also caused him a lot of trouble."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, sighed, and said with some emotion: "We can bring down this world without the help of some old brothers."

"Now, those old brothers are gone and old, and now there is only Brother Tang left. Seeing that there are still problems with the bones."

"Could it be that we are ruthless and sent them down? In fact, their power is too great. In our hearts, we can't sleep well every night."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Dasun and said: "Dazun has accused us in his heart because of these things."

Zhu Ying shook her head and said: "Serving meritorious service is arrogant, forming cliques, causing chaos in the government, not thinking about making progress, you should be killed!"

"Occupy the neighbors, force the people, act recklessly, indulge the evil servants, you should be killed!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying paused slightly, and continued: "Danger my Daming country, destroy my Daming society, you should be killed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he heard this.

In this world, too many people don't recognize him.

But who knows the pain in his heart.

In the first two paragraphs, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel much, but the last sentence really resonated.

This world belongs to Daming, and it also belongs to Lao Zhu's family.

Anyone who dares to touch anything must die.

The eldest grandson was able to realize this, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very relieved.

"There are too many old brothers in Huaixi. Now they are fighting with us. We won't treat them badly after this fight."

"But there are always some brothers who always feel that they don't get enough, and wish we could give them the throne to be satisfied."

"We don't want to kill them either, but we have to. Let's just say that in this army, about [-]% of the generals now have unclear relationships with the old brothers in Huaixi."

Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking, he believed that Dasun should understand what he meant.

Lan Yu was not in the army, nor did he hold the position of the governor, but the five armies' governor's mansion, which one should not give Lan Yu face.

Jin Yiwei secretly inquired, and the current Lan Yu is still as powerful as before, and those Huaixi nobles follow his lead.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little jealous.

What he was afraid of was not Lan Yu, but his grandson's future.

The current military power seems to be under Dasun's control. If anything happens, the generals headed by Lan Yu will definitely support it.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no doubts about this.

But if he was gone, without the rival Sapphire, would he still be able to listen to his grandson honestly?

If there is any disagreement, it is better to listen to Dasun or his Sapphire.

Sapphire, who was already the Duke of the state, can be said to have won the meritorious service of the dragon again after the eldest grandson ascended the throne, and will definitely have power in the court.

This world, can it still be the world of the old Zhu family?

Dasun is very good, Zhu Yuanzhang knows, but there are some things that cannot be completely conquered by means. The way of an emperor lies in balance.

Once the balance is lost, some things can be said.

Throughout ancient and modern times, it is better to be.

Zhu Ying began to ponder in her heart.

Regarding these aspects, in fact, he has already started to prepare, and Lan Yu's going to the Department of Public Security can be regarded as a kind of weakening.

But so far, the weakening is not obvious.

Because in the eyes of others, Sapphire has an irresistible relationship with him, and will surely take off in the future, so the status of Huaixi noble leader is still very stable, even more solid than before.

Just looking at the eyes of the old man, Zhu Ying knew clearly.

Father, this is a move to kill.

Maybe it was because of seeing the strength of Xuanjiawei, or maybe it was other reasons that made the old man feel that the blue jade series should be eliminated.

Otherwise, there will be hidden dangers in the ruling and opposition world.

Even though his prestige in the army is already very high, it cannot be compared with Sapphire, who has been bathed in blood for many years.

Sapphire's advantage does not lie in the individual, but in the entire Huaixi military general Xungui Group, they have penetrated into the upper and middle ranks of all the armies.

Most of these middle-level officers are Huaixi military generals. Their influence belongs to Pao Ze, and they are the emotions of back-to-back killings. They cannot be completely replaced by some favors.

It is really because of knowing these things that in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the murderous intention never stops.

Taking out the sapphire dossier and handing it over to Dasun, to a certain extent, is to help Dasun win power and support.

But now, the grandson's wings are full and the throne has been confirmed. The cornerstone of the past has become a stone that blocks the way, and it should be removed.

At this moment, Zhu Ying really hesitated.

Knowing the nobles of Huaixi is just like in history.

Although it is possible to completely control the military power, it is undoubtedly a great damage to Daming as a whole.

Middle-level officers, especially those with experience in major wars, are the most rare.

In the original history, after Zhu Di won the throne, he conquered five times in person, defeated the Tatars and overthrew the Oirats.

On the grassland, it has established a great reputation.

However, after this prestige, there is an embarrassing state where there is no general available.

The lack of a large number of middle-level officers caused the Ming army to plummet. Almost all famous generals died in the Lanyu case, and there were few generals who could be used to great effect.

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that as long as the quality of the soldiers is high enough, the armaments are advanced enough, and the logistics support is sufficient, they can fight casually.

Actually it is not.

It is simply too important for generals to use cold weapons as the mainstay of the world.

The emergence and formation of a general often stands out after a long war.

Famous generals are even more difficult.

One general is incompetent, exhausting thousands of troops.

Even in the era of hot weapons in later generations, the wisdom of war is extremely difficult to find, otherwise there will be no peace and prosperity.

Zhu Ying trained soldiers, imitating future generations, supported by money, and practiced intensively to train an iron army.

He also has insights that are different from the current world, grows wealth, and cultivates people's livelihood.

But when it comes to real wars, maybe even a general with only one name in the history books is not as good.

Not to mention Zhu Di, Sapphire and other famous generals of the generation.

That is the strategic and military talent that has been honed in ten or even decades of war, which is far from being comparable to just talking about it on paper.

"Let's give the eldest grandson two years. Two years, we can afford to wait. If that happens, we won't see a turnaround."

"Da Sun, don't blame us for being cruel."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the struggling expression on his grandson's face, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said in a deep voice.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang could guess a thing or two about the grandson's thoughts, but in his opinion, the country of the old Zhu family is far more important than anything else.

The Ming Dynasty's million-strong army lacked the nobles of Huaixi, but it was only a temporary decline, and it should be considered in the long run.

"Thank you grandpa."

Zhu Ying replied after hearing this.

In two years, if you still can't completely control Huaixi nobles, you really won't be able to keep them.

However, in Zhu Ying's view, there is still a lot of confidence.

Although the grandfather and grandson didn't say anything, the meaning was clear.

What Zhu Ying needs to control is not Lan Yu, nor is it Cao Zhen, Zhang Yi, Zhu Shou, Wang Bi, who are also dukes, who have already achieved fame.

It's the middle-level officers who don't know their names.

For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang led the army in Handong, Gansu Province, he wanted to delay, but was stopped by the generals in the army.

With this kind of prestige, it can be regarded as controlling the military power in the true sense.

After a decree passed, even if it was a decapitation, he had to bow his head and wait for execution without any resistance.

"There is quite a gap between your fourth uncle and Lan Yu. Once Lan Yu complained to your father, and then your father told the fourth brother. There was resentment between the two of you."

"My eldest grandson should be clear about the relationship between your third and fourth uncles, so don't worry too much."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were told to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Di can be used, can be used, when in use, no matter whether it is sapphire or Zhu Di, they can be used to restrict.

Don't give up because of the previous relationship.

"Grandson understands."

Zhu Ying nodded and replied.

In fact, he has been thinking about it since he finished talking to the old man the day before yesterday.

If he hadn't cut down the vassal, would Zhu Di really have rebelled?

Even if it was really against him, would he be able to do it on his own?
