The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 396 The truth about Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma is revealed. Lord Ye has an extraordinary relationship with Li Jing and Qin Qiong!
Under the bright moonlight,
Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife, Xu Da, and Wang Baobao all looked at the four antique thread-bound books on the ground with wide eyes.

The four of them looked at the words on the cover, only to find that they were indeed Tang Kai fonts from the Tang Dynasty, and the handwriting was the same.

Seeing this scene, they were even more puzzled!

You must know that these four books represent the martial arts and military skills of three famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, but how can one person write the title on the cover?

If all this is true, then the person who wrote the title on the cover was really not that simple at the time.

Thinking of this, the four of them just looked at each other and started reading.

The four people squatting in a crowd opened four books at the same time and browsed quickly under the bright white moonlight.

Because Queen Ma didn't understand the relationship between martial arts, she chose "Li Weigong's Art of War"!
Although she has never personally led troops to charge, nor has she ever sat in command, it does not mean that she cannot understand military tactics.

Not to mention that I can eat this bowl of professional rice, but it is also among the 'experts who know the way'!
After Zhu Yuanzhang read "Mirror of the Six Armies" written by Li Jing, he only read a few sentences and kept nodding his head and said: "Someone must have bound it and then written the title of the book cover."

"This content must have been written by General Li Jing himself. The handwriting is mature and sharp as a knife, but the font is correct and very sophisticated!"

"This is a summary of the art of military use in these few sentences. We were all amazed after reading it!"

"He deserves the title of God of War!"

Empress Ma also nodded and said: "The handwriting of this "Li Weigong's Art of War" is the same as the "Mirror of the Sixth Army" in your hand. It is so well written that I, who has never led an army in a war, can read it." I feel suddenly enlightened!”

Having said this, the two of them smiled with satisfaction at the same time.

Not only are they satisfied, they are also very happy in their hearts. You must know that in their hearts, Zhu Di is the future royal general. If he gets the true inheritance of Li Jing, who else in the world can stop him?

Maybe, even if he is in a desperate situation with few soldiers and little land, he can still survive.

The reason why they had such a premonition was because they took a brief look at the catalog and found that it not only contained the art of war, but also the way to manage the army, the way to win over the generals, the way to win over the morale of the army, the way to recruit troops, and the way to support the war with war. Way!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned.

"What if the Fourth Brother thoroughly understands Li Jing's "Mirror of the Sixth Army" and "Li Weigong's Art of War" and rebels against our Biao'er in the future?"

"."

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this way, Queen Ma also saw his worry in his eyes.

Empress Ma just patted the back of Zhu Yuanzhang's hand gently and gave him a reassuring smile.

Queen Ma's intention was very obvious, she wanted him to trust her son!

After Zhu Yuanzhang understood Queen Ma's eyes, he relaxed his brows.

"Right,"

"The fourth child was raised by Biao'er. We are just the father who gave birth to the fourth child. Biao'er, the eldest brother who is like a father, is the father who raised him!"

"He doesn't dare to rebel against Biao'er!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of expectations for the future.

At this moment, he has seen that a hundred years from now, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be a situation where the boss will rule the country while the fourth boss will expand the territory.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was looking forward to the future, Xu Da and Wang Baobao also discovered the clues.

Xu Da held up "Qin Qiong's Marksmanship Experience" and said: "Qin Qiong in the storybook always holds a golden mace, but he doesn't know that he is a top master of marksmanship."

"After I go back, I have to change the image of Qin Qiong in the portrait of the door god. It can't just be holding a mace in both hands. It must be holding a mace in both hands and carrying a spear on the back, or holding a mace in one hand and a gun in the other!"

"His experience in marksmanship can be said to be the secret book of marksmanship!"

Wang Baobao looked at the "Experiences of the First Guardsman of Yanmen Pass on Sword Skills" in his hand and was even more impressed.

Wang Baobao nodded and said: "Who is the first guard of Yanmen Pass?"

"What a genius!"

"After you understand this skill of swordsmanship, you can really chop enemies on the battlefield like meat on the chopping block."

"It is said that the King of Hell wants people to die at the third watch, but will not save people until the fifth watch. If you learn this sword technique, it means that if you want to cripple your opponent, your opponent will be crippled, and if you want your opponent to die, your opponent will have to die!"

"A book of swordsmanship tips that also incorporates human body parts medicine?"

"."

Immediately afterwards, the four people exchanged glances. After confirming each other's previous opinions, they looked at each other again.

Finally, they got the truth!

The contents of these four books are written in three different handwritings!

The content of "Mirror of the Sixth Army" and "Li Weigong's Art of War" are written by the same person. Judging from the sophistication of calligraphy, it really looks like Li Jing's handwriting!
The content in "Qin Qiong's Marksmanship Experience" is also another kind of experienced handwriting.

Only the content in "The Sword Skills of the First Guard of Yanmen Pass" is another kind of handwriting that is as sharp as a sword, but does not look so sophisticated.

Moreover, the contents of "The Sword Skills of the First Guardsman of Yanmen Pass" and the handwriting of the titles on the covers of the four books are exactly the same.

In other words, all the content written by these three people was bound into a volume by the first guard general of Yanmen Pass, and they even picked up famous books on their behalf!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang and the other two people's eyes immediately lit up.

Because they could tell from the handwriting that the first guard of Yanmen Pass, who had only legends about his deeds in history, was just a young man compared to Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others.

Moreover, he is a young student whom they are very optimistic about, and they are willing to teach his secret skills to his young man!

If all this is true, then Zhu Di has obtained the true biography of three famous generals of the Tang Dynasty through the air!

Thinking of this, the four of them combined the books in their hands, feeling that Zhu Di was the big winner this time.

Just when the four of them were thinking like this, Zhu Di, who picked up the armor and Tang Dao again, and carried the tiger-headed golden gun on his back, came in front of them.

"Master gave this to me!"

Empress Ma put away the four books, put them in Zhu Di's arms and said, "Where are you taking these armors and weapons?"

Zhu Di said solemnly: "Mom, I can't hold up this armor now, I can't afford this sword and gun. I want to study hard the master has given me, the training experience of my ancestors."

"."

After Zhu Di left, Queen Ma realized a serious problem.

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and Wang Baobao and said, "Have you noticed that although these four thread-bound books look very old, they still look like they have been turned over to the edge by people who love reading."

"But they are definitely not old enough to be considered 'antiques'!"

Especially when she said the word "antique", Queen Ma not only increased her volume, but also dragged it out for half a minute.

After hearing this, the three people's eyes lit up again, and then they realized this.

They used to only study the content, but ignored the traces of time on the paper!
Yes!

If they were written by three famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, then these four books are real antiques. Even if they are well preserved, they still have obvious traces of time.

Obviously, judging from the traces of time on the paper, it is definitely not an object from the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, it is impossible for it to be handed down from the Tang Dynasty and be the original work of the original author!
If it is a gift from someone else, they will directly treat it as a fake.

But the person who gave it to Zhu Di was not someone else, but Ye Qing, who insisted on saying that his thing was a fake, but it really didn't look like a fake.

Therefore, despite their doubts, the four of them still value these four books.

Wang Baobao was dubious and said: "Look at the content. That's really what it is. But it's not like that when you look at the paper."

"You guys ask, is that really what happened?" Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma did not answer, but looked at the direction Zhu Di left with complicated expressions.

At this moment, Xu Da smiled calmly and said: "That's what it's about, isn't it?"

“When we didn’t pay attention to the aging problem of paper, didn’t we all think that was the case?”

"That's enough for him to learn!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang and the other two heard this, they no longer struggled with the matter.

It must be that he, Ye Qing, who is a fan of Tang Dynasty culture, created the fake!

Even if these four books and this set of armor and weapons are all fakes, they still look like genuine fakes to them.

Even if the thing is a fake, the inheritance meaning in it is truly passed on, which is enough.

Furthermore, even if the author of these four books is actually Ye Qing, he has received such unanimous praise from them.

It is enough to prove that this is worth learning for Zhu Di, and it is enough for Zhu Di to benefit from it for life.

But then, the four of them became very interested in Ye Qing.

Because if the author of these four books was Ye Qing, he would be too 'unfathomable'!

Just when the four of them realized this problem, they saw Ye Qing who had just finished washing.

"Still not sleeping yet?"

"Go back to your room and sleep early!"

“Once we board the ship, the sea is rough and rough, so we won’t have such a good sleep!”

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he went back to his room to sleep with his hands behind his back.

The four of them also responded and went back to their rooms to sleep!
It's just that they were sleeping on the bed, and they were still thinking about the relationship between these four books and Ye Qing, but they couldn't figure it out no matter how much they thought about it.

I figured it out before I saw it, and it was a very 'metaphysical' answer.

In this way, they just closed their eyes and went to sleep in line with the fine tradition of not thinking about it if they couldn't figure it out.

Over the next two days,

The Ningbo garrison troops went home to reunite with their families on vacation in batches, because for them, this may be the last time they see their families, the last meal they eat, and the last night they stay.

Zhu Di has been studying "Qin Qiong's Marksmanship Experience" and "The Sword Skills Experience of the First Guardsman of Yanmen Pass".

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

At Mao hour, at dawn, all the drums and drums in Ningbo Prefecture started ringing.

This is the same as the assembly broadcast in the previous life. All soldiers in the military camp and all soldiers at home on vacation, as long as they want to go to sea to participate in the war, must rush to the [assembly area of ​​the military camp] as soon as they hear the sound of drums.

In Ningbo City, countless young women, dressed in red and holding red lanterns, stood at the door of their homes.

From a distance, you can see the neat 'red street lights'!
The reason why they appear here is just to light the way for their husbands to go to war, and to seek a good fortune for their triumphant return.

"Ms. sir, I don't want to wear that white dress. You must come back alive."

"Sanlang, if you dare to let me wear white clothes, I will go to your grave every day and scold you, so that you can't sleep properly."

"His father, the child is still young and is waiting for you to come back to give him a name."

"."

At this moment, various names for 'husband' resounded throughout the streets.

Some of these titles are formal, some are informal, and some are very weird.

But no matter what, these titles represent their wives' love for them, as well as their prayers and exhortations for their safe return.

However, these upright men gave up at this time.

They dare not promise their wives or their children that they will return safely.

The only thing they can do is to let their wives remember how they stand tall and strong in armor, as well as their smile and gentleness that are unique to their wives.

But when they turned around, no one looked back.

Their eyes are firm, their direction is absolute, and their pace is getting faster and faster.

Finally, no soldiers could be seen in the streets and alleys!

After these soldiers returned to the team and were called, they immediately set off for the military academy field of [Donghai Mining Development Group].

By the time all 20,000 troops arrived, it was already after noon.

After they arrived here, the only thing they had to do was to identify the warship they were going to board, and then rest.

As for the transportation work, these armored soldiers are no longer needed to do it.

Besides, the weapons and ammunition have already been on board the ship, and the only things that need to be carried now are the vegetables and other food they want to eat.

That night they had a good meal on the shore.

Ye Qing was very generous to them. He made delicious chicken, duck and fish, not to mention all kinds of fruit wine, grain wine, and even wine.

Because once on the ship, many people cannot drink.

Even generals drink in a rationed amount!

The next morning, 20,000 troops stood proudly on the military academy grounds facing the rising sun and sea breeze.

The 20,000-strong army was all equipped with cloth-covered rivet armor, which did not have the heavy metal feel of the Northern Army's armor at all!
First of all, what they faced was not the powerful prairie warriors, but the 'Japanese' who were famous for their shortness.

Another is that when fighting at sea or even landing on the beach, they need warmth and lightness.

Of course, the protective effect of cloth-covered rivet armor is not low. Ordinary arrows and swords cannot hurt them in cloth-covered armor.

"Master Ye is here!"

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, 20,000 troops on both sides stood facing each other.

They watched Ye Qing and his party walk up to the swearing-in platform!

At this moment, Ye Qing was wearing a nondescript Ming Dynasty general's armor, but the young general next to him was very distinctive.

He was actually wearing a gilt and bright silver armor made in the Tang Dynasty, a standard Tang Hengdao at his waist, and a tiger-headed gold spear on his back.

Behind them were Xu Da and Wang Baobao.

Xu Da and Wang Baobao both wore Confederate general armor, but the cloth colors were different.

Xu Da and the generals behind him were all wearing red cloth-faced armor, while Wang Baobao and the generals behind him were wearing blue cloth-faced armor.

Just like two square armies of 10,000 people, one is a red square army of 10,000 people, and the other is a blue square army of 10,000 people!

at last,

Under the attention of everyone, Ye Qing led his team of generals to the oath-taking platform! .
