Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 268 Enough to Give Su Jing Face

Zhu Di's one-day study at Su Jing is also over.

After returning to the Forbidden City, he immediately rushed to Zhu Yuanzhang, which is Fengxian Hall.

"My son sees my father."

Zhu Di bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang in salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fourth son who was most like him, and said calmly: "What's the matter, fourth son, what Su Jing taught you should be about the art of war."

Based on Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Zhu Di, the only thing Zhu Di wanted to ask Su Jing for advice was the art of war and military affairs.

"Yes, father, Mr. Su taught my minister the theory of large-scale combat, and my minister has benefited a lot."

Zhu Di replied.

"Great deep combat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly. As a top military strategist, he was a little surprised when he heard this deep combat theory.

Zhu Yuanzhang has basically studied all the art of war in the world.

Even if it is a remnant copy, Zhu Yuanzhang has it here.

As the emperor who personally led troops to fight, Zhu Yuanzhang's military level is a style formed by combining theory and practice.

Theories that he has never heard of are really rare.

"Tell me, what does this deep combat theory talk about?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

He is also very interested in military affairs.

Zhu Di immediately repeated what Su Jing taught to Zhu Yuanzhang briefly.

Su Jing originally taught too many things, and Zhu Di definitely couldn't finish it in a short while, he just talked about the core of his understanding.

"When carrying out the pursuit, the advance detachment plays a very prominent role. The advance detachment usually consists of a reinforced regiment or a reinforced battalion... There are generally three types of pursuit: frontal pursuit, parallel pursuit, and a combination of frontal and parallel pursuit..."

……

In less than half an hour, Zhu Di fully explained what he understood to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened very carefully. He originally thought that this theory was something clichéd, just changing the soup but not the medicine.

After all, it is just a little-known theory.

But after actually listening, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed.

He realized that the set of in-depth combat theory taught by Su Jing is a very complete combat system, quite complete.

This kid Su Jing has never fought a war, so it's fine to engage in small-scale battles such as wolf constitutions and mandarin duck formations. His talent is understandable.

But truly systematic combat ideas and theories should not be available to young people like Su Jing.

Could it be that nine-year compulsory education teacher again?

Zhu Yuanzhang was only a little puzzled, but he didn't get entangled. Anyway, it just came out of Su Jing's mouth.

"Fourth, that's all Su Jing said?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little bit unsatisfied, and he still felt that there were a lot of merits in this theory.

Zhu Yuanzhang was good at defeating Ming Dynasty, but he didn't think that he was invincible in the world, and it was necessary to learn and forge ahead.

His ability to accept new things is still very strong.

"No, what Mr. Su said is enough for my son to study and ponder for a long time."

Zhu Dichao replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's right, Su Shi's theory of large-scale and in-depth combat is indeed possible. Fourth, you should study more, and it will be useful when you go to the feudal clan in the future."

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, took his feudal domain in Beiping.

That is the main direction of the main fight against the remnants, which shows how much Zhu Yuanzhang attaches importance to Zhu Di.

Although he is not very good at reading, Zhu Di is still very talented in fighting.

"Yes, father, my son will definitely study it with all his heart."

Zhu Di replied immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "You remember, fourth, don't take what Su Jing taught as the most reasonable words. The correct way is to gather the strengths of a hundred schools of thought. Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and you must not just follow Do what others teach or what the book says, understand?"

Su Jing's prestige is too high, Zhu Yuanzhang is also a little worried.

Fighting a war is different from other things. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be too great.

Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang has long formed his own military system.

"My son understands."

Zhu Di immediately replied: "Father, don't worry. Mr. Su also said that this theory of deep combat is not suitable for the current Ming Dynasty. It is a theory that can only be used after the development of weapons and equipment to a certain level."

"At present, it is absolutely not advisable to just understand and learn from it. It is absolutely not advisable to copy it completely. Moreover, with the current weapon level of Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to achieve the operation in the theory of large-scale combat."

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but Su Jing did not mislead his disciples.

However, what does it mean that weapons and equipment have developed to a certain level?
The current Daming has the most powerful army, the sharpest weapons and the most powerful firearms. All enemies will become losers under the iron cavalry and artillery fire of Daming.

"Fourth, did Su Jing really say that? Then does he have any advanced weapons?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Di, obviously not convinced.

There is no doubt about the strength of Daming.

But in Su Jing's words, it was clear that he underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang, as the lord of Ming Dynasty, so he would not be happy.

Zhu Di replied: "No, Mr. Su said that Daming's weapon level should be based on the premise of scientific and technological level. He told me too much now, and I would think it was a fairy tale."

myth!

If it is beyond the reach of human beings, it is called a myth.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed slightly. Could it be that what Su Jing said meant that the weapon in his mouth could not be resisted by manpower?Even mighty power like a fairy?

"His tone is really not small."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said, "Then he can tell. When will we see such a weapon? Probably not."

"No."

Zhu Di nodded.

"Humph."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Sure enough, as I expected, Su Jing is just bluffing you, fourth brother, don't think too highly of Su Jing, I am much better than Su Jing in leading troops to fight. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud of finally finding something that could crush Su Jing.

However, Zhu Di didn't react too much, he just said: "Mr. Su asked the minister to pass a message to the emperor."

"Oh, what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.

Most of the time, Su Jing ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's answers, and it was really rare to take the initiative to spread the word.

Zhu Di said: "Mr. Su said that he will continue to improve the firecracker, but he has nothing in Yingtian Mansion, so he needs some help from his father. I also hope that my father can agree to Mr. Su's request."

Returning to the rumors, Zhu Di added his own suggestion at the end.

It is really that Su Jing's improved flintlock is too amazing, even for a child like Zhu Di, he thinks it is extremely powerful.

"Of course, I will provide whatever Su Jing wants!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hesitate at all, and said immediately.

Improving firecrackers, this is something that can immediately enhance Da Ming's strength, but there is no delay at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself forgot that at first he agreed to Zhu Biao to follow Su Jing to Laizhou Mansion for the purpose of improving the fire gun.

But as soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang felt something was wrong.

Just now I was running on Su Jing in front of Zhu Di, but when Su Jing said that he wanted to improve the gun, he immediately changed his attitude.

In front of his son, he still couldn't hold back his face.

"Okay, I understand, fourth child, you can go back."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked Zhu Di to step back.

"Yes, Father."

Zhu Di nodded silently, not daring to say anything more.

With Zhu Di's departure, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sit still.

Improve firearms!

This matter is too important. The Northern Expedition is imminent. If it can be done before the Northern Expedition, even if the number is not so large, it can increase some combat power.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to talk to Su Jing by himself, but thinking about it, he was a little too impatient.

After all, the relationship between myself and Su Jing is still in the stage of pulling.

Impatience is unacceptable.

After a brief thought, Zhu Yuanzhang had a solution in his mind. He went out of the palace directly and went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

In the Metropolitan Mansion, Mu Ying is dealing with many military affairs, and the war is imminent, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is busier than usual.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Suddenly there was a sound outside. It was Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival, and all the officials knelt down and saluted.

Hearing that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who came, Mu Ying immediately put down her work and was about to rush outside.

"Ying'er, just keep doing what you do, the rest of you, step back."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in quickly, very fast, mainly because he was also in a hurry.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

All the people around dispersed, leaving only Zhu Yuanzhang and Mu Ying.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

Mu Ying got up and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

This etiquette cannot be lost, Mu Ying is very aware of her position, although the adopted son is honorable, but she must not rely on this status, no distinction is made between superiority and inferiority.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Ying'er, I've been quite busy recently."

"Going back to my father, my son is just doing what he should do."

Mu Ying replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I came to you today because I need you to do something. It's very important, so hurry up."

"Father, please tell me, my son will definitely do his best to complete it!"

Mu Ying didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, very satisfied, and he continued: "Now you go to Niu Mansion immediately, take him to the firecracker manufacturing department of Baoyuan Bureau, and then let everyone cooperate with Su Jing, he can do whatever he wants, Understand?"

"Father, my son understands, this is Mr. Su who wants to improve the firecracker again, right?"

Mu Ying's expression became excited.

As one of the people who went to Laizhou Mansion with Su Jing, he knew what Su Jing was doing in Laizhou Mansion.

Not only that, in fact, he has been remembering it these days.

But he was very busy, and Su Jing's affairs were very complicated, so he didn't take the initiative to bring it up.

Mu Ying has never been involved in matters in the court.

Regardless of Mu Ying's young age, his political wisdom is not bad at all.

"That's right, Ying'er, this matter is extremely important, you have to get it done."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Mu Ying immediately said: "Father, please don't worry, my son will do it right away, there will be absolutely no mistakes."

After speaking, Mu Ying left the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion directly.

Do this quickly, the sooner the better.

The things here are well ordered, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go back to the palace directly, but went to Chengyibo's mansion.

The matter of finding Liu Bowen as a lobbyist still has to be done.

Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Liu Bowen's house.

"The old minister sees His Majesty."

Liu Bowen knelt down respectfully towards Zhu Yuanzhang, still showing respect.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately pulled Liu Bowen up and said, "Bowen, get up quickly, you and I, the monarch and his ministers, don't need to perform these vain rituals."

After Liu Bowen resigned, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion of him was greatly reduced.

Liu Bowen, who has nothing and can't do anything, has no need to be suspicious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bowen got up slowly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I don't know why Your Majesty came to the old minister's house?"

Liu Bowen also got straight to the point, since it was impossible for this old Zhu to come if he had nothing to do.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Berwen, you really deserve to be my ovary. You really can't hide anything from Mr. Qingtian. Then guess what I came for?"

Liu Bowen replied: "Your Majesty's mind is like an ocean, and I can't guess it."

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Liu Bowen didn't guess a word.

It has to be said that Liu Bowen is already quite vigilant about restraining his edge.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and said: "Bowen, it doesn't matter if you guess casually, and there is no one else here. Didn't you often give me advice and suggestions before, and you were never afraid of saying something wrong back then."

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen were really harmonious between monarch and minister, trusting each other and sharing weal and woe.

It's a pity that we can't go back to that time now.

Liu Bowen was silent for a while, and said: "The old minister will venture to guess, His Majesty should be here for Mr. Su, right?"

Liu Bowen resigned at home, but the outside news is very clear.

He is even more familiar with the situation in the court.

There is no way, he was the leader of the Zhedong Group before, and he specifically opposed the Huaixi Group headed by Li Shanchang in the court.

For most things, Zhu Yuanzhang would ask him and Li Shanchang for their opinions before making a decision.

It hasn't been long since Liu Bowen asked to resign. He can guess the changes in the court situation.

"Berwin, you are still as good as ever, yes, I came here for Su Jing."

Zhu Yuanzhang admitted it directly, and continued: "I want you to be my lobbyist, Bowen, and let Su Jing become an official. You can see if you can."

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been easy to communicate with Liu Bowen.

Because Liu Bowen always knows what he thinks and is capable of solving his problems.

When Liu Bowen heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he said calmly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter will be inconvenient for the old minister."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in his mansion, Liu Bowen guessed his purpose, but he still didn't want to.

"Why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked back, but he was not too angry.

Liu Bowen explained: "The old minister has already resigned, and now he is just an idler, and Mr. Su is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. If the old minister is a lobbyist, wouldn't he be neglecting Mr. Su?"

It's definitely not good to refuse directly.

But Liu Bowen will also find reasons, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying this.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not accept this reason. He looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Being a lobbyist in the capacity of Mr. Chengyi is enough to give Su Jing face."
