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

Chapter 127: Full marks for this understanding
Zhang Yifan knew that Zhu Di was looking for him.

Although he had thought about winning by such a big score, he only thought about it and did not think it would really happen.Therefore, he was also excited.

Although there were only a few hundred soldiers roaring just now, he felt his blood boiling in the current environment.

Zhu Di came here because he wanted to share the joy of victory with him!
With this thought in his mind, Zhang Yifan saw Zhu Di staring at him and walking closer to him.

So Zhang Yifan smiled happily.

Such a big victory, we should celebrate happily together!

As a result, what he never expected was that Zhu Di said to him: "We won, and the [-] yuan will really be given away. Don't cry?"

"..." After Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out.

When he came to his senses, he replied angrily: "If you can cry, of course you will cry. Can you hide under the quilt and cry?"

"Hahaha..." Zhu Di laughed immediately, then suddenly stepped forward, hugged Zhang Yifan, and said loudly: "Yifan, we won, no one will look down on us again!"

Zhang Yifan couldn't laugh or cry when he hugged him. This guy's metamorphosis (change of attitude) is so fast, it's hard to get used to it!
"Ah, um, you hugged me too hard!" Suddenly, Zhang Yifan quickly slapped Zhu Di with his hand and shouted, "Let go quickly, or I will pull your hair!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately let go and laughed again: "You, you should practice hard in the army, or you won't be too weak!"

After finishing speaking, he hugged Zhang Yifan and said, "Let's go to see our father together!"

"I won't go, I've been killed in battle!" After hearing this, Zhang Yifan declined because he didn't want to be stared at by those on the general stage and felt uncomfortable.

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately refused: "That's not possible, I must go!"

After finishing speaking, she put her arms around his shoulders and forcibly walked towards the stage.

They are all in the same year, why is Zhu Di so strong?
Zhang Yifan thought helplessly, and had no choice but to say: "Let go, I'll go by myself!"

After hearing this, Zhu Di did not insist. He let go of his hand, and the two of them walked side by side to the general stage.

There is no doubt that at this moment, the two of them are the focus of the audience.

Although the civil and military officials were far away and couldn't hear clearly what the King of Yan and the Consort were saying, they could tell that the relationship between the King of Yan and the Consort was very good!
Including Lan Yu, who also looked at the two of them, her face flushed, but she didn't know what to say.

The friends around him also looked at the figures of King Yan and the Prince Consort in silence.

After a while, I heard Zhu Shou say: "This must mean there is no concession, right?"

"The Marquis of Jinghai is crazy to let this happen!" Cao Zhen heard this and said: "This is a big defeat. I lost to the 16-year-old King Yan. If I were the Marquis of Jinghai, I would be ashamed!"

After hearing this, Wang Bi turned his head and glanced at Lan Yu, thinking in his heart, even Lan Yu couldn't beat Jinghaihou. If Jinghaihou was ashamed, then what kind of Lan Yu was he who shouted dissatisfaction and wanted to challenge King Yan?
With this thought in his mind, he comforted him: "Actually, Marquis Jinghai lost to His Majesty. This formation is too powerful. No matter who it is, they will suffer a big loss if they encounter it for the first time."

"You mean, His Majesty came up with this formation?" After hearing this, Zhu Shou turned to look at him and asked.

After hearing this, Wang Bi asked him: "Then tell me, could this unprecedented formation be thought up by King Yan himself?"

Classmate Zhang Yifan was ignored again.

When Zhu Shou heard this, he nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right. His Majesty must have taught him."

Having said this, he turned to look at Lan Yu and comforted with some sympathy: "Brother Lan, you have lost to His Majesty, so there is nothing to say!"

After hearing this, Lan Yu glanced at them, but before he could say anything, a eunuch came over to convey the order, asking him to also go up to the generals' platform.

When Lan Yu heard this, she didn't hesitate and strode towards the general stage.

After a while, both sides of the contest, as well as their opponent Jinghaihou, had gathered on the general stage in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Important civil and military ministers, including several famous generals, were also watching them.Of course, the most important thing is to look at King Yan.

Among them, Wei Guogong Xu Da looked even more pleased. It was really worth it to have such a young and promising son-in-law!
When he was only 16 years old, he defeated Wu Zhen, a veteran general in the army who had been promoted to Marquis of Jinghai based on his military merits, and wiped out his entire army.

This was also the time when he was young and had not caught up. Otherwise, it is hard to say how high his military achievements would be and whether he would be able to catch up with these old guys!

While he was thinking, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say: "The result of the competition is that King Yan and the Prince Consort won. Do you have any objections?"

After Wu Zhen heard this, he immediately responded: "Your Majesty, I will finally be convinced of my defeat!"

He was also aboveboard and had fully recovered at this time, without the 'I don't accept' he shouted at the beginning.

Just listen to him continue to play to Zhu Yuanzhang: "At the beginning, the last general underestimated the enemy. King Yan was only 16 years old, and he had never really led an army or been on the battlefield. The prince-in-law also used a strategy of underestimating the enemy and died before fighting. , which made the generals think that they themselves had no confidence, so they were even more underestimating the enemy. As a result, they were caught off guard during the battle and were completely defeated, which is really shameful!"

"..." Zhang Yifan was dumbfounded when he heard this. It turned out that he had used a trick to underestimate the enemy!

This understanding deserves full marks!

After hearing this, the others couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yifan. When Marquis Jinghai said this, they suddenly realized.

Even classmate Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this. He dared to love the consort not because he was afraid of pain, but because he wanted his enemies to despise him?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be really good.If this strategy of underestimating the enemy is used, the effect will definitely be better if it is combined with the formation used for the first time!
As they were thinking about it, Marquis Jinghai continued to speak: "The formation of King Yan is really powerful. The general saw it for the first time and suffered a big loss. Now that I think about it, I feel that if it is a close combat, It is also difficult to crack, especially since the Japanese pirates have almost no cavalry, the general thought that with the Japanese pirates’ combat power, it is basically impossible to solve it.”

After hearing this, Deng Yu also praised: "Yes, this formation is used in the northern war, as long as it is close combat, it is equally useful!"

The other princes nodded when they heard this.Their eyesight is of course one of the best. After watching this competition, they can already feel the power of this formation.Although the enemy in the north is different from the Japanese pirates, as long as it is modified appropriately and used well, it can still be applied to the northern front.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong on the civilian side rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. Your majesty has come up with this formation that is really amazing!"

Even several princes praised the power of this formation, and it was witnessed by all just now. If it is clearly stated that this formation was created by Zhu Yuanzhang, it will naturally be able to minimize the increase in the royal family's prestige caused by King Yan's great victory. .

After all, it is normal that Zhu Yuanzhang is powerful.But it would be rare if King Yan was that powerful.

At this time, after hearing what he said, Wang Guangyang immediately started flattering him: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that he came up with such a desperate formation. I don't know what it is called. He should leave his name in history!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Hu Weiyong, then looked at him again, and then found that other people were also paying attention, so he replied calmly: "This formation is called the Yuanyang Formation. It is named after the left and right formations are the same and resemble a pair of mandarin ducks. !”

Having said this, he paused, turned to look at Zhang Yifan, and then said: "This formation was created by the prince-in-law, not me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Prince Consort subconsciously, but no one believed it, and then turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.With a confused look on his face, he couldn't understand why the emperor said that?
Judging from their expressions, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly knew what they were thinking, so he emphasized again in that decisive tone: "When they went to select the sergeants, the prince-in-law told King Yan about this formation for the first time. Those commanders were all Those present. To be honest, I can’t imagine this formation.”

Jun Wu joked that if you lie like this in front of your face, if it is exposed in the future, even the emperor will lose his face.

However, if you want them to believe that this powerful formation was actually created by the Prince Consort, they cannot believe it!

For a moment, they looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Zhang Yifan, wondering whether they should believe it or not.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhang Yifan: "Tell me, how did you come up with such a formation? I'm a little curious!"

This sentence is absolutely true.

You know, this Zhang Yifan is just an orphan from Liujia Village. He has found out his background clearly through his investigation.Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible to come up with such a powerful formation.

After hearing his words, everyone's eyes were naturally focused on the Prince Consort.

When Zhang Yifan saw it, he had no choice but to reply: "Didn't I hear Marquis Jinghai talk about the characteristics of Japanese pirates? Then we should target the characteristics of Japanese pirates. After thinking about it, I figured it out!"

"..." Everyone was speechless when they heard this.

After thinking about it, you figured it out?

That seems to be the case, but isn't it too simple?What happened, didn’t you just think about it and then figure it out?

Zhu Yuanzhang even thought, just by fighting, I created a dynasty?
For a moment, they didn't know what to say about this prince-in-law.

But at this time, Zhang Yifan was still adding: "This formation is not my fault alone. As I was thinking about it, King Yan was also adding that he saw problems in many places and then said what to do. Do it. Anyway, during the military training later, King Yan improved again, and finally it became what everyone sees!"

When everyone heard this, they turned to look at King Yan again.

When Zhu Di saw it, he quickly said: "This formation was indeed created by the prince-in-law. I just added some details. It is all his credit!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan immediately said: "No, it's because you ate and lived with the soldiers and spent three months in the military camp, so you perfected this formation and practiced it very skillfully. Otherwise, it would have been impossible." With this success, I just talked a little bit, and you are the one who deserves the most credit!"

"No!" When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "You are the one who deserves the most credit, I just..."

As they talked, the two little guys became humble to each other!

However, everyone seemed to hear it.This formation really wasn’t created by the emperor!
With this idea, both Hu Weiyong, who was unwilling to believe it, and the princes, all found it a bit incredible!

Could it be that these two little guys came up with the formation that they didn't even expect?And listening to the conversation between them, it seems that the most important thing was the consort’s idea?
This……

It feels really incredible!

They were thinking about it when suddenly, they heard Lan Yu say loudly: "The general will not accept it, the general will not believe it. Such a powerful formation was created by the two of them! In this competition, the general lost to this It’s about formations, not about leading troops into battle. Besides, if it’s not a competition, but real combat, with this formation, even the most advanced general can break it with firearms!”

After he finished speaking, he held his head high and was a little excited, as if he was risking his life!
Xu Da looked over after hearing the sound, and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Lan Yu like this.

This Lan Yu is arrogant and arrogant. Normally, no one except Lao Chang takes it seriously. As a result, now he lost to two 16-year-old boys, and it was a huge defeat. , which was a little hard for him to accept!
However, if you lose, you lose. The school competition itself is also a manifestation of ability.

This blue jade’s character needs to be tempered!
Hu Weiyong originally thought that if the emperor insisted that the formation was created by King Yan and the Prince Consort, and took the credit, he would have no choice.

Unexpectedly, Sapphire was so stubborn, and even jumped out to question, this was a favor to him!

So, he immediately followed up and said: "Your Majesty, I think this statement has a certain truth. The school competition is indeed different from actual combat. General Lan cannot be allowed to display his full ability."

This is actually a bit of a strong argument. The competition was originally scheduled and both parties agreed. Now that they lost the competition, they said that the competition was not a real battle.It feels a bit like a loser.

Based on Hu Weiyong's understanding of the emperor, he would definitely be furious.Because whoever dares to stop what the emperor decides to do will definitely not get any good results.Especially when it comes to imperial power, he knows it best.

However, since Lan Yu jumped out to the punch on his own, he didn't mind putting Lan Yu in front and bearing the emperor's wrath.

But who would have expected that after hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced at him, and then ignored him. He turned to look at Lan Yu. Seeing his unconvinced look, he didn't look angry. He just sneered. : "Do you think that if it were really on the battlefield, you could use firearms to break it?"

Firearms are extremely lethal and cannot be blocked by shields.

Although Lan Yu listened to the emperor's words and changed from "Lan Qing" to "you", he was already willing to give up. He nodded immediately, raised his head and echoed: "Exactly!"

"Okay, then I will convince you!" Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and shouted immediately, his voice was a bit loud.

When the others heard this, they couldn't help being a little surprised.

This mandarin duck formation is just a cold weapon.If you use firearms, it can indeed give it a lot of lethality.But why did the emperor say that he wanted Lan Yu to be convinced?
