Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 327 Eat, drink, eat!

The soldier heard the angry scolding, but he did not get angry. Instead, he calmly replied: "It is our duty to guard the gate. Without Commander Yu's order, even if it means killing people, we will never even think of opening the gate for you."

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Lu Qing turned around and asked.

However, Zhu Tuosi didn't take it seriously at all and said with a smile: "Give them my token and let them give my token to me."

They told Yu Yuan about this and asked Yu Yuan to open the gate of the camp. "

Lu Qing handed the token to the general, who quickly entered the city. After a while, the general Yu Yuan came up to meet him. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know that you are going to see your Majesty today. I hope you will." Your Majesty, please forgive me.

Zhu Tuo couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yu Yuan fully dressed in military uniform, and took him out with his own hands: "Commander Yu, what mistake did you make? Come, come, come and visit this camp with me!"

"As ordered!"

Yu Yuan took Zhu Tuo into the barracks and saw more than 1 soldiers practicing. They held a long spear in their hands and continued to perform stabbing drills. The sound resounded through the sky.

Zhu Tuo couldn't help being attracted by this atmosphere, grabbed Yu Yuan's arm, and said with a smile: "General Yu, you have the potential to be a leader. As long as you work hard, sooner or later I will give you a leadership position."

Yu Yuan said in surprise: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten this? You even gave me a military rank."

"Oh, I have forgotten that you were appointed as the governor."

"Right Lieutenant Colonel..."

"I'll give you the title of Captain Zuo."

It's General Qin. "

"Give him the title of a former general."

"There are others."

Zhu Tuo was speechless for a moment. He couldn't help asking: "When did so many school officers appear in Lingnan? How could I not know? Where is the man named Shi Ziliang? Which school officer has he been promoted to? ?”

"He is already the commander-in-chief."

"Well, that's all, let's not mention this for now. I'm very pleased to see you commanding the troops well today. If our troops in Lingnan can be as commanded as you, why worry about Lingnan not being strong enough!"

"Hehe, let's drink together!"

So Zhu Tuo ordered his men to bring good wine and food. Yu Yuan said with a troubled face: "Your Majesty, there is a rule in the army, that is, no drinking is allowed during training. As a general, I naturally have to set an example."

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Zhu Tuo did not try to persuade him anymore, but said, "In that case, why don't you have a drink with me and I'll take a sip. What do you think?"

"Appreciate further details!"

After Zhu Tuo had eaten, he said goodbye to Yu Yuan and went to Shi Ziliang's camp.But they saw that the gate of Shi Ziliang's camp was wide open, and there was no guard in front of it.

Zhu Tuo sat on a tall horse and came to Shi Ziliang's camp without any obstruction.

Zhu Tuo looked far into the distance, but found that there was no one on the martial arts field, so he couldn't help but cursed.

He said: "It is in vain that the king has such trust in Shi Ziliang, but he did not expect that he is so ignorant of the world. As a commander, he has not started training so late!"

Lu Qing nodded vigorously at the side, deeply agreeing: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Generals like Shi Ziliang really deserve to be beaten."

"Yes, when I see him later, I will take him down with my own hands!"

"Why bother Your Majesty with such a simple thing." Lu Qing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this scholar Liang is thin-skinned. If Your Majesty hurts him again, I am willing to take action for Your Majesty and beat him up."

"Okay, I promise you!"

Zhu Tuo opened the tent and happened to see Shi Ziliang gobbling food and drink there. He immediately became furious and yelled: "Shi Ziliang, how do you behave? This is a barracks, not a restaurant!"

He didn't expect King Su to come. He stood up quickly, wiped the oil on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, please allow me to make a final decision."

"I don't want it, I don't want it!"

Zhu Tuo glared at him and cursed: "Shi Ziliang, how can I trust you? Is this how you usually train your troops? Drink, eat, and lie! Well, who did you learn this from?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Tuo raised his hand, blocked him back, and shouted angrily: "The matter has become clear, and you still want to deny it? I deal with state affairs in the palace every day. As a general, instead of setting an example, you are in the camp. I was drinking heavily, what was going on in my mind?
This fat man doesn't look like a commander at all! "..."

"I haven't taught you for three days, but you are getting more and more arrogant! If I don't come today, will you bring a prostitute home?"

Zhu Tuoyue became angrier as he spoke, and later he said bitterly: "Shi Ziliang, you really failed to live up to my expectations!"

Lu Qing added fuel to the fire: "Your Majesty, the army has military rules. We must kill people and silence them in order to calm the anger of the soldiers!"

Shi Ziliang kept his head lowered. Hearing this, he became furious: "Lu Qing, you!"

Zhu Tuo glared angrily and shouted: "What do you mean?"

Shi Ziliang said softly: "Reporting to the prince, today according to the army rules, the officers and soldiers went up to the mountain for training. These things were done by some squad leaders. Now the junior general is here alone, and the junior general has nothing to do. Do, so just eat and drink here."

"Hey, no wonder there's no one here. It turns out they're training outside."

"Yes."

"Haha, I have nothing to do today, so I just came to drink with you. Come on, come on, come on, come on, Lu Qing, come on, the three of us haven't seen each other for a long time, come on, let's have a drink .”

Zhu Tuo suddenly had a smile on his face, hugged Shi Ziliang's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Ziliang, you have been following me for so many years, and I have always believed in you.

Understand? "

Zhu Tuo walked around the camp and observed different camps.

In general, the combat power of the Lingnan land is quite impressive. Perhaps it is because the Lingnan land implements a conscription system and has a monthly salary, so the soldiers are very enthusiastic about training.

In addition, in the Lingnan area, civilians do not need to work for free, and a certain amount of grain will be distributed.Moreover, these errands are done during busy farming times, which will not affect the farmers’ fields and allow the farmers to earn more money.

Zhu Tuo walked around the camp and did not feel that he was an outsider at all to the generals he had never met before. That is to say, he could still treat himself as a brother with the help of wine and hooking people's necks.

"Hehe, work hard, if you do well, I'll give it to you, ah, it's the leader!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Haha, we are all brothers, how can you say thank you! Zhu Tuo laughed, "I know that you are all very capable, but you are unlucky. Not long after I arrived in Lingnan, I encountered such a thing . "

"Lingnan is really too barren, and the people here are all yellow and thin. I simply became a censor and a captain, but in the process of suppressing bandits, I kicked this kid out. Seeing that he was so arrogant, I He was made the Commander-in-Chief of the Lingnan Army."

"Your Majesty is truly wise and powerful!"

Zhu Tuo made a silent gesture and said: "In terms of talent, you are no worse than that scholar Liang, and in terms of knowledge, you are far better than him. I know in my heart that if you work hard, you will have a bright future!" Zhu Tuo's These words made all the generals present excited.

"I want to be the emperor in the future. How can I succeed without some generals who can fight well? I have high hopes for you!"

Gradually, everyone was no longer so restrained. They all greeted Zhu Tuo and became familiar with each other as they chatted...Zhu Tuo refused to refuse anyone who came and drank more than ten cups in one go, causing everyone to cheer. .

Zhu Tuo felt that he was very comfortable with them, and he could do whatever he wanted, even if he swore a curse word, he could make them cheer.

Everyone is capable and good at talking, so Zhu Tuochao is very satisfied.

So, for several days in a row, Zhu Tuo got along with those generals, went hunting in the mountains during the day, went to the martial arts field to compete in the daytime, and at night, everyone gathered together, playing, playing, drinking and having fun, and the days were pretty good.

"Your Majesty, when did you come back? Don't tell me that you have forgotten the important events in Lingnan."

"I haven't forgotten. Besides, isn't Zhang Wei the person in charge of this matter?"

"Can't you say a word? You disappeared alone for more than ten days?"

"Okay, okay, Lu Qing, you are a man, why are you so annoying?" Zhu Tuo's eyes flashed, staring at Lu Qing, and said in a deep voice: "I'm leaving now, it's better to just handle the government affairs. "

Zhu Tuo said goodbye to the generals and returned to the palace. He had just read through several documents when he received a report from his own soldiers that Qitai was visiting.

"Qitai?" Zhu Tuo was startled, then frowned and asked, "Why is he here? Aren't you afraid that I will cut him into pieces? Leave him alone, let him go."

After Qi Tai entered the lobby, he bowed to Zhu Tuo with great respect.

Zhu Tuo observed carefully and found that Qitai was darker and thinner than before, and his aura was deeper. He just stood very seriously and did not speak.

Zhu Tuo hated this man with all his heart. This man kept colluding with ministers and going against him in the court, just like a little nigger.

Although he was an honest man, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and in a rage, he threw him to Annan and asked him to take care of the monkey king named "Great Sage".

However, before he took action, this guy took the initiative to come to his door. This was too bold.

"Your Majesty, this is the specific terrain of Annan. This is the map of Annan drawn by his subordinates, as well as the surrounding mountains and rivers. It is very clear, and I have compared it carefully. With this map, our Daming will Annan's situation can be fully grasped.

Qitai took out the map and reported the situation.

"It took you so long to draw a map? What are you doing?" Zhu Tuo couldn't help but ask after glancing at it.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at this document I have prepared for you.

I have already talked about the population, language, and customs of Annan. We can make some modifications based on the local conditions. "

Qitai has been following Annan for some time and already has a certain understanding of Annan's condition.There were so many things he said that Zhu Tuo was almost dizzy, especially the more than ten races, which looked extremely chaotic at a glance.

"What's the use of knowing them? Then where are Annan's military formations and defense lines? Why don't you get them for me?"

"Your Majesty, I have made all the preparations, please take a look at your Majesty!"

Qitai took out a foldout from his sleeve and said confidently: "These foldouts record the distribution of the garrison in Annan. In addition, there are also several strongholds in Annan that require special attention. The subordinates are also on the foldout. Marked.”

"Oh, it's not very clear, so what are Annan's soldier levels? Have you checked?"

"I've checked it out." Qitai's sleeves were like a treasure box. He took out a document from his sleeves, and then said: "Your Majesty, look at it, Annan mostly uses bows and crossbows, but they The ones used are short-range, fast, but the lethality is very limited."

Zhu Tuo slapped his hand on the table and shouted angrily: "So what if we meet the army? Why did I send you here? It is to hold Annan in my hands and make Annan a tool of my Ming Dynasty. Annan, have you sent Through the army?”

"There is already an army. This is the current situation of the army. It controls all parts of Annan and controls Annan's soldiers and horses. If I were not worried about causing commotion, I am sure that I can conquer Annan in less than five days. But I think that we We should start psychologically.

When Zhu Tuo heard this, he suddenly looked confused, and he didn't know how to vent his resentment.

"In addition, this is Annan's plan for the next three years. I hope your majesty will read it."

Qitai is very powerful, so Zhu Yuanzhang has high hopes for him and makes him his right-hand man to help his grandson Zhu Yunxuan.

In Shiji, Qi Tai became a military adviser and managed state affairs with Huang Zicheng.When cutting down the feudal town, Qi Tai advocated "cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots", led Zhu Di to the capital, and then killed him.

However, Zhu Yunxuan was unwilling to be framed for killing his uncle and did not take action against Zhu Di immediately, making it difficult for Zhu Dijing to succeed.

Qi Tai took out memorials one after another from his sleeves, as if he could never finish them. They piled up on Zhu Tuo's desk like a small hill.

Zhu Tuo stared at Qi Tai in surprise. He wanted to make accusations several times and cursed, but he finally held back.

Seeing Qitai's calm look, Zhu Tuo was also speechless.

"You have done so many things in Annan, you should know who King Annan is, right? Hum, now that I have returned to Lingnan, why don't I invite you to visit?"

Lu Qing frowned at the side and whispered: "Your Majesty, this seems a little inappropriate, right? You are a prince, and he is the leader of a country. How can you let him come all the way to you?"

Zhu Tuo held his head high and said proudly: "I am the king, he is also the king, I will give you one step!"

Is there anything wrong with him coming over for a visit?What's wrong? "

Zhu Tuo snorted coldly and said to Qi Tai: "I am not making things difficult for you, I just want to show the majesty of my Ming Dynasty. Do you understand? Is it Qi Tai?"

Qitai looked calm and bowed: "Your Majesty, I already know about this matter, so when I returned to Lingnan this time, I specially brought Chen Rikun, the Lord of Annan, to come and pay homage to Your Majesty."

Zhu Tuo was startled when he heard this.

"..."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Chen Rikun? His Majesty Annan?" Zhu Tuo, who was dressed very casually, was looking at Annan and others with interest.

There were 13 people in Annan's group, including Annan scholars, generals, and ministers, headed by Chen Rikun, the king of Annan.

As the king of a country, Chen Rikun does not have the slightest bearing of a king.

In the past, he was suppressed by the Li family, and if he disobeyed a little bit, he would be in danger of losing his head and body.

Now that the Li clan has been destroyed, a more powerful Ming has emerged, controlling the military and political forces in Annan. Fortunately, Da Ming is still reasonable, and Chen Rikun will not lose his life if he disagrees with him.

However, I felt a little uncomfortable as I was always suppressed by Qi Tai.

"Yes, yes." Chen Rikun looked like he lacked confidence and quickly bowed his head and saluted Zhu Tuo with his fists in hand.

At first, he only knew that Lingnan was very powerful, but he did not know how powerful it was. He thought that the people in Lingnan would starve to death and the soldiers in Lingnan would wear armor.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the prosperity of Lingnan, Chen Rikun suddenly changed his mind.

This is no longer powerful, but perverted!

It's a pity that Chen Rikun doesn't know much about Han culture, so all he can say is "Holy crap!"

Groups of soldiers wearing armor patrolled back and forth in the city.
