Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 15 Fourth Brother, Times Have Changed
Xu Miaoyun, the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong Xu Da.According to historical records, she is "talented, intelligent, chaste and quiet", and has the reputation of "female students".The latter refers to the concubine Zhu Di, king of Yan.The two are loving husband and wife, and they have three sons and a daughter.After Zhu Dijing was difficult to succeed, he named Xu the queen.After Xu's death, Zhu Di mourned unceasingly, and he will no longer be a queen in this life.

For this pair of emperors and empresses who had a profound influence in history, Zhu Su took it for granted that he was very interested in their love story!
His eyes gradually became gossip.

(ω)
"You recognize us?" Zhu Di still frowned, but his tone was no longer hostile as before.Xu Miaoyun dispelled his vigilance without any guilt.

"The little girl came to the palace to accompany the empress. Her father is Wei Guogong Xu Da." Xu Miaoyun said without any panic.The words are clear.

"Ah!" Zhu Di remembered.It is true that Empress Ma, the mother, often called noble girls from Beijing into the palace to do some spinning and weaving work together.

This habit was left by Zhu Yuanzhang when he fought in the world.At that time, Lao Zhu and his generals fought everywhere, but only the young and old stayed behind.Empress Ma took on the responsibility of taking care of the children of the soldiers' families, and arranged for the boys in the generals' families to go to school with Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, while she took the girls with her, and taught them to spin and weave, and to be diligent and thrifty.

Not only the children, Empress Ma also took good care of the family members left by the generals at home.She can remember the birthdays of all the old people, and when the day comes, she will visit them personally with gifts.When encountering difficulties at home, she often saves money on food and expenses, and even sells her jewelry to save money to meet people's difficulties.

This habit still exists today.Lao Zhu's old team members respect and love Empress Ma even more than Zhu Yuanzhang!

Because Uncle Xu was away at war, Mother brought Uncle Xu's daughter closer to the palace... That's how it is!

Zhu Su suddenly realized.According to history books, Zhu Di and Empress Xu were childhood sweethearts, and the original root was Empress Ma.

"Uncle Xu's daughter?" Zhu Di completely released his guard.He let go of the hand protecting Zhu Su, "Then why don't you go and accompany the queen mother, why are you hiding here secretly and crying?"

After all, she was only a little girl around ten years old, after Xu Miaoyun was startled for a moment, the forced elegance on her face slowly peeled off.His big eyes were filled with moisture again. "me……"

"Little girl... the little girl was worried about her father, and she was in the imperial garden for a while..."

"It disturbed the two highnesses, it is really..."

Although the girl is young, when she cries, she feels like pear blossoms bring rain.Even Zhu Su, who has been bombarded by countless sexy female stars in later generations, feels amazing.

This little girl is just like a beauty!

The little beauty was weeping, and Zhu Su turned his gossiping eyes to his fourth brother.Fourth Zhu, come on!
It's time to show the real technology!

"Oh, so it's because of Beizheng. Then there's no need to cry!"

"Don't worry, when I grow up, I will definitely lead the army to the north, kill that Wang Baobao with my own hands, and avenge Uncle Xu!"

Little Zhu Di clenched his fist with one hand and looked to the north. The Emperor Yongle, who will chase death and chase the north in the future, is showing his domineering power at this moment!
Uh……

Zhu Su held his forehead with one hand...

Is there anyone who comforts people like this? Uncle Xu is not dead yet, okay...

Xu Miaoyun was already stunned.After a few breaths, the little girl's eyes began to burst, and the big teardrops could no longer be controlled, dripping down the delicate little face onto the muddy floor of the garden.

"I...I feel a little uncomfortable, first...retire..." The girl bit her lower lip, obviously very sad, but she was still desperately trying to hold back her tears.After a hasty salute, Xu Miaoyun immediately turned around and wanted to run towards the exit of the imperial garden.

"Wait!" Zhu Su stopped Xu Miaoyun.

He turned his head first, and gave Zhu Laosi a disgusted look, and stared at Emperor Yongle who was imagining his heroic appearance on the battlefield in the future.

Hey, Zhu Lao Si is still too young.After all, it's just a 13-year-old fur doll, its hair hasn't grown fully yet, and it hasn't opened up yet!

Forget it, here it is, let my experienced Zhu Wuye take action and save the situation for this useless Zhu Laosi.

After all, he is a brother in this life, so he reluctantly condescends to be his wingman...

"Miss Xu misunderstood. What my fourth brother wants to say is..."

"Uncle Xu, nothing will happen."

"Hey?"

"Hey?"

Two voices, a man and a woman, sounded. Not only Xu Miaoyun, but even Zhu Di looked puzzled and looked at Zhu Su who was full of determination.

"Your Highness Fifth, you mean my father is fine?" Xu Miaoyun seemed to have grasped at straws, and she directly ignored the first half of Zhu Su's sentence. "But what definite news?"

Ever since the news of Xu Da's battle came, Duke Wei's mansion was gloomy.The mother, the second mother, etc. were all looking for a job, and the uncles and elders in the family shook their heads, saying that the Great Yuan was a blow to the country, and the Duke of the State was caught in Wang Baobao's scheme again on his territory. .

She wanted to go into the palace to ask the empress for some news, but the empress only wanted to comfort her and was unwilling to say more.

She heard people say that a few days ago, His Majesty and the Empress went to the Fifth Prince's Courtyard, and after they came out, His Majesty rejected the advice to increase troops to the Great Wall.Maybe, what did His Majesty and the Empress discuss at the Fifth Prince's place, and the Fifth Prince listened to it?

"Definite news, it doesn't count..." Zhu Su hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Anyway, don't worry, Uncle Xu will be fine."

"He and Wang Baobao are old rivals. How could they be completely defenseless? Even if there is a loss, they will definitely not be wiped out."

"After a while, there must be news of the safety report."

Xu Miaoyun looked happy.Although she has always been intelligent, she is careless when she cares about it. It is rare for someone to assert that her father will be fine, and she can't help but want to believe it.

But at this time Zhu Laosi interjected: "Old Wu, don't make such a fuss here. I am much more proficient in military matters than you! Uncle Xu escaped so easily."

As soon as these words came out, the two eyes immediately turned to Zhu Di who was like a big tabby cat.

There was resentment in Xu Miaoyun's eyes.No matter how gentle she was, she couldn't bear this annoying Fourth Highness cursing her father again and again.Zhu Su's eyes were loveless: Zhu Laosi, I am helping you fix the pot!Is there anyone who dismantled it like this?
What a straight man of steel!
"Look at me, I'm telling the truth!"

Zhu Di has a straight face.He picked up a branch and pulled it on the ground, with a look of pride that "I know the best about military affairs", and said to Zhu Su: "Wang Baobao of Meng Yuan is commanding cavalry, and he is waiting for work to catch him by surprise. , how can I give Uncle Xu a chance!"

"Since ancient times, cavalry raids have always been devastating. This time they are still ambushing. As long as they break through the ranks of the army, they will definitely not be able to regain their foothold."

"The scene will only be a one-sided massacre!"

What little Zhu Di said was well-founded, he pointed to the imaginary battle map drawn on the ground, and looked at Zhu Su seriously.Completely ignoring Xu Miaoyun's sad and indignant eyes that were about to cry.

Zhu Su gave him a disgusted look... This guy, who wants to play these battles with you!Sister Xu who didn't see the other side is going to be heartbroken!
Big fat crock chicken and even Bao Zong, how did they come into this world?

Why?If Bao Zong was evaporated in advance like this, it seems to be not bad?

Seeing that younger sister Xu's eyes turned to him expectantly, she seemed to hope that she would severely refute this idiot who wholeheartedly cursed Xu Da to death.

In order not to make the little girl sad, Zhu Su sighed, and said leisurely: "Fourth brother, what you call 'Since ancient times' refers to the battles in the past, right?"

"Did you forget that our Ming army is equipped with a large number of muskets, which are enough to stabilize the formation during the charge of the Mongolian cavalry..."

According to historical records, in the Battle of Lingbei, Xu Da relied on the firearm battalion and managed to stabilize the front line under the impact of the Mongolian cavalry. Great Wall.

"Musket?" Fourth Zhu frowned.He had indeed forgotten the existence of muskets. "It is true that muskets can restrain cavalry assaults to a certain extent."

"But the reloading speed of the musket is very slow, and Wang Baobao is ambushing again, and he will rush into the formation in the blink of an eye. Uncle Xu and the others must not be able to parry it."

Zhu Di continued to think.When he was young, he liked to hang out in the military camp, and often pestered his cousin Li Wenzhong to ask questions, and he was very clear about the pros and cons of muskets.

Seeing that this guy was still stubborn, Zhu Su subconsciously said: "The fire rate of the musket is not enough, you can use three-stage shooting!"

"Three strokes?" Zhu Di looked puzzled.

"The musketeers line up in three rows, front, middle and back." Zhu Su explained. "Three people form a team. First, the musketeer at the front shoots, then retreats to the back of the team to concentrate on loading ammunition, and the No.2 soldier steps forward to fire. Then, the third person..."

"After the third person finished firing, No.1 was also loaded. The three reloaded and fired alternately, and the projectiles poured out, densely like rain, without stopping for a moment."

"In this way, no matter how fast the Mongolian Yuan cavalry is, they will not be able to break through the formation. As many as they rush over, they will die. Even if they are suddenly ambushed by the cavalry, it will not be difficult to regroup."

In fact, in the history books, there is no record that Xu Da used the "three-stage strike" tactics in the Battle of Lingbei.Zhu Su just spoke out to refute Zhu Di out of desperation.

The earliest three-stage attack actually came from Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son Mu Ying, who commanded the Musketeers to use the three-stage attack when he pacified Yunnan.It was in the 14th year of Hongwu that Mu Ying pacified Yunnan.Now, it is only the fifth year of Hongwu!

However, Zhu Su's theory of "three-stage attack" made Zhu Di stunned. He kept simulating in his mind the battle situation of the three-stage musket formation against the Mongolian cavalry.As a result, I have to admit that using this method of warfare can indeed completely suppress the overwhelming Mongolian cavalry!
"The musket tactics are so powerful!" Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

Seeing that Zhu Laosi was finally persuaded, Zhu Su also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He stretched out his hand and patted Emperor Yongle's shoulder pretentiously: "Fourth brother, times have changed long ago."

"Don't think you are proficient in military affairs, so you are always complacent."

"Let's learn more."
