Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 117 Killing and Silencing (Third Update)
He saw a stack of papers in the box, and he recognized the top one at a glance. It was a Ming Dynasty treasure note!
However, ordinary Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes have face values ​​ranging from one hundred to one hundred coins.But the Ming Dynasty treasure note he saw had a face value of one hundred guan!
After coming back to his senses, Zhu Di immediately reached out and flipped through it, and found that the stack of papers were all Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes with a face value of one hundred guan.

So, he immediately raised his head, with an angry look on his face, and shouted angrily at Zhang Yifan: "Are you crazy?"

After Zhang Yifan heard this, he thought he would be surprised and happy, but he never thought he would be angry.

For a moment, he didn't understand its meaning and had to ask: "What's wrong? What does it mean?"

Seeing him like this, Zhu Di was furious and wanted to yell again.But he came back to his senses immediately, turned around and took a look, and found that he and Zhang Yifan were the only two people beside him, and the guards were standing more than ten feet away.

So, he immediately closed the box and handed it back to Zhang Yifan. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said: "You are really crazy. You dare to privately print Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. Doesn't the counterfeiter know? You are the consort, some small mistakes, or father The emperor can tolerate it, but if the emperor finds out about such a big mistake, you will die!"

"..." Zhang Yifan was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that this classmate Zhu Di actually thought that he had secretly printed these Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes!

I really convinced him!

Even if I try to die, it is impossible to privately print the Daming banknotes!

It turns out that Ouyang Lun, who was beheaded by his father-in-law in history, was greedy for money and did not dare to privately print Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, but chose to smuggle it.

Zhang Yifan was thinking about this, and when he was about to explain it to Zhu Di, he saw Zhu Di taking back the box that had just been put into his hand, and then whispered to him: "As soon as I saw the face value, I knew you were paying for it for me. Fifty thousand dollars. But have you ever thought about whether this money can be used? You are usually so smart, why are you suddenly stupid! Forget it, I will help you burn these. "

Zhang Yifan listened and opened his mouth to explain, but Zhu Di immediately said: "Are those people who help you print money reliable? Otherwise, it's better to kill them to avoid leaving any harm..."

"..." Zhang Yifan was speechless when he heard this. This fourth brother seemed to be really kind to him, but he was also cruel and even encouraged him to commit murder and silence!

Seeing that Zhu Di wanted to take the box and leave after speaking, Zhang Yifan grabbed his arm.Unexpectedly, Zhu Di walked too fast, or Zhang Yifan's strength was too weak, so he was actually carried over by Zhu Di.

"What?" Zhu Di took the initiative to stop, looked back at Zhang Yifan, and said a little anxiously, "I can't keep it, I have to burn it quickly!"

Zhang Yifan was really funny and asked immediately: "My fourth brother, why do you think these Ming Dynasty treasure notes are fake?"

"You speak softer!" Zhu Di complained after hearing this, and then whispered to him: "I'm afraid you in the countryside don't know that the maximum denomination of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes printed by my father is Yiguan. You actually printed it A hundred coins, that’s really crazy! Also, the pattern printed by my father was a bunch of copper coins, but the result was good, you actually printed a cow!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifan finally understood that this was the problem.

Did that classmate Zhu Yuanzhang print these [-]-guan Ming Dynasty banknotes just to save some paper?

So stingy!
So, Zhang Yifan said to Zhu Di seriously: "Fourth brother, this money was given to me by my father. If you want to say it was forged, then it was forged by my father!"

"What?" Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this.

He never expected that it was forged by his father!

No, why was this money stamped by my father?Why did my father print a hundred copies?

He was certain that the hundred strings must be related to the competition reward he had promised before.

At this time, Zhang Yifan saw Zhu Di in a daze, so he quickly explained to him to prevent him from misunderstanding again: "Didn't I solve the smallpox problem? My father said that he would reward me heavily, so I chose [-] yuan." , so we have these Ming Dynasty treasure notes!"

Zhu Di was still a little suspicious after hearing this.

Zhang Yifan didn't say much, called Zhu Wu over and said, "Tell Fourth Brother, how did you get this money?"

When Zhu Wu heard this, he quickly said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, this is the money that the emperor rewarded the consort, a total of [-] yuan. The consort said that he didn't want..."

Zhang Yifan didn't let him finish, interrupted him, and said to Zhu Di: "How about it, do you believe it now? Everyone in the court knows about this matter."

This explanation is reasonable.The reward for solving the smallpox plague was [-] guan, which was not much at all.Also, the image of a cow also corresponds to the smallpox plague.

But immediately, Zhu Di thought of another question.

Immediately, he pushed the wooden box to Zhang Yifan and said: "Yifan, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't ask for so much money. I said, if I win the competition, I will get this money..."

"Fourth brother!" After hearing this, Zhang Yifan had to interrupt Zhu Di and said, "Why are you acting like a girl, don't talk about mother-in-law and mother-in-law, okay?"

"..." Zhu Di had never been said like this before. When he heard this, he was stunned.

Zhang Yifan felt relieved in his heart. He scolded Emperor Yongle like a bitch in front of his face. Who dares?Hehe, I dare!

This thought flashed across his mind, and he immediately changed his serious attitude and said: "I have a role to play in the competition. Of course I have to do something, right? You are doing your best in training, so isn't it reasonable for me to contribute some money? Isn't it possible? , if you win the battle later, you will take all the credit, saying that you defeated that Lan Yu alone?"

"How is it possible..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Di flatly denied it.

As soon as Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately went on to say: "Also, you have made great contributions to being able to be together with Jing Jing. You will be rewarded for your achievements, but you said it! If you refuse again, you will look down on me!" "..." Zhu Di was speechless, and finally he looked at Zhang Yifan seriously for a while, nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, then between you and me, we won't be so mother-in-law!"

He didn't say much, just turned around and shouted: "Assemble!"

His bodyguard heard this and immediately went to deliver the order.

Then, Zhu Di turned to Zhang Yifan and said, "Come here."

After saying that, he strode over.

It was about ten feet away, and when he arrived, five hundred sergeants scattered in training had already assembled and lined up.

It has to be said that these sergeants are very elite.

Zhu Di walked up to them and said straight to the point: "The prince-in-law solved the smallpox plague, and the emperor rewarded him with [-] coins, and now they are all here."

Having said that, he raised the box high and gestured for it.Then he took it back, opened the box, took out a few Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and asked his guards to hold the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and walk along the queue from beginning to end to show it to all the soldiers.

"Did you see that?" Zhu Di shouted loudly at the same time, "The prince-in-law has prepared the money. It depends on whether you have the ability to get the money!"

After training for a month, I feel a little tired.The excitement of one hundred guans per person has already dissipated a lot at this time.

However, now that they saw with their own eyes that King Yan and the Prince Consort had actually prepared all the money, all these sergeants felt as if they had been given blood again.

When Zhu Di saw it, he immediately shouted loudly: "Pass this king's military order to practice the mandarin duck formation and show your consort how our training has been this month!"

"As ordered!"

Five hundred sergeants roared in unison, their anger reaching the sky.

Zhang Yifan is of course very interested in this.

When he left the military camp, Zhu Di had only just learned about the Yuanyang Formation, and the various weapons required for the Yuanyang Formation had just been distributed. The sergeants were still familiar with using those weapons and repeatedly trained some of the simplest movements.

It's been a little over a month, how is Zhu Di doing?

To be honest, Zhang Yifan is very curious.

So, he watched carefully. Under Zhu Di's command, 500 people obtained weapons. After the formation was completed, the drill began.

Zhang Yifan watched with his eyes wide open, but to be honest, he was really just an outsider, just watching the fun.

In his eyes, he only knew how powerful he was.However, he couldn't see how powerful it was.

On the other hand, Zhu Wu behind him couldn't help but praise him from time to time.

In the end, Zhang Yifan had to turn around and said to him: "Come here and tell me a good way?"

Zhu Wu was a little stunned when he heard this. He had been following Zhang Yifan and knew that Zhang Yifan came up with this formation.Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifan actually asked him to talk about how good this formation was?
He thought Zhang Yifan was testing him, so he quickly explained to Zhang Yifan.

Zhu Wu had been on the battlefield, and when he explained it to Zhang Yifan, Zhang Yifan roughly figured it out.

To sum it up, these sergeants hold various weapons and belong to different arms, but the cooperation between them is very tacit.And when changing the formation, there is no flaw at all, everyone can cooperate with teammates to complete the formation change.

According to Zhu Wu, unless the formation in front of the drill is a heavy battle between two armies, it can be equipped with a large number of archers to shoot from a distance, causing a large number of soldiers to kill and injure the Yuanyang Formation, and then sending cavalry to charge to break it.

"Prince-in-law, to deal with this kind of military formation, the best way is actually to charge the formation with heavy cavalry, or harass and drag them to death with a large number of light cavalry. Otherwise, even the arrow formation is not very effective." Zhu Wu finally said, "Because this formation is not Densely, whether it is firearms or bows and arrows, the lethality against sparse formations is extremely limited!"

After thinking for a while, he added: "If it is just infantry fighting hand to hand, this formation will be the king, and it is also excellent for dealing with the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty."

Zhang Yifan was very satisfied with what he heard. When he saw Zhu Di coming over with sweat all over his face after the drill, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Fourth brother, you have practiced this Yuanyang Formation so well. It's amazing!"

"If you want to be powerful, it's also your formation that is powerful!" After hearing this, Zhu Di said disapprovingly, "I haven't practiced enough now!"

Zhang Yifan was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately asked: "I think you have practiced well, what's wrong with it?"

After Zhu Wu's explanation, he finally understood the trick, which he really felt was pretty good.
