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

Chapter 38 Ridge Parade

"Okay, I understand." Xu Da nodded, and only told everyone about it after the escort left.

"Mr. Xu, you are making it clear that you want to kill the king and seek rebellion!"

"Without the permission of the imperial court, you dare to meet the chieftain in the south in public. Isn't this plotting treason?"

Xu Da slapped his hand on the table and shouted: "Bold! The chieftain in southern Xinjiang has long been rebellious. If King Su hadn't taken action, how could he suppress it? Come with me tomorrow!"

The next day, Xu Da led a group of ministers to the mansion.

Because a large number of chieftains had been recruited some time ago, and according to Zhu Tuo's agreement, after they settled the internal affairs of the chieftains, they went to Lingnan one after another.

Zhu Tuo first hosted a banquet in the main hall of the palace, and the atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious.

Several chieftains from 0loo knew Zhu Tuo very well and didn't pay much attention. They talked in twos and threes, and some of them were still pouring wine for Zhu Tuo with smiles on their faces.

While chewing the cow bones, Zhu Tuo said proudly: "I personally sent troops to Annan and suppressed those barbarians in just over two months. From now on, no one here will dare to Bully us."

"All this is because of the king's contribution. Now the leaders of all major tribes will bow and salute when they see me!"

"That's right, our big boss can finally be proud!"

"Our king is like a star in the sky."

"From now on, I will put Your Majesty first!"

"The king tells us to go west, so we will go east. His Majesty tells us to drive, but we will not catch them!"

Hearing everyone's unabashed loyalty, Xu Da and the others fell silent.

What kind of party is this? They're just a bunch of traitors!
"Hahaha!" Zhu Tuo smiled from ear to ear, patted his chest, and said loudly: "We are all people of the Ming Dynasty. I am a person of the Ming Dynasty. I want to be aboveboard. From now on, you must obey my orders. Never get bullied!"

"Only His Majesty is following his lead!"

"Yes."

"Your Majesty's status is much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty."

"Haha, it's all the same thing!" Zhu Tuo didn't care at all.

After the banquet was over, Zhu Tuo waved his hand, "It's rare for you to gather together today, and I'm going to hold a Lingnan parade, and you are all welcome to come and observe."

"Walk together!"

A group of people, led by Zhu Tuo, boarded the Lingnan City Gate in Nancheng.

With the beating of drums and under the command of Shi Ziliang, the flags were waved, the army began to move, and there was a faint sound of footsteps.

The army was divided into ten formations, each with thousands of men.When the first team of 1000 people passed through the city wall, these chieftain leaders took a closer look and found that these soldiers were wearing uniform armor and walking in uniform steps. They were obviously well-trained.

"Hehe, these are the two major armies in Lingbei, which specialize in dealing with bandits."

This group of soldiers walked to the city wall. All the soldiers raised their spears high and shouted: "Guard Lingnan, I am here!"

This sudden sentence was like an earth-shattering thunder, making several chieftains on the city wall tremble.

Everyone's expressions became even uglier. Even if they were bandits together, they wouldn't have such a big battle.

Zhu Tuo said proudly: "Is my army very powerful?"

"Mighty!" At this moment, everyone cheered.

Several people said in unison.

"Haha, I have ten thousand soldiers and horses like this!" Zhu Tuo couldn't help but praise, and then said: "Besides, we in Lingnan also train people. If a war breaks out, Lingnan can mobilize 30 troops, enough for a year rations!" Everyone was shocked.

Even Xu Da, the number one general of the Ming Dynasty, also looked anxious.

He mined iron ore privately, sold private salt, established good relations with the barbarians in the south, and trained more than [-] troops in private.

In other words, anyone who sees it will have a feeling of rebellion!
"Your Majesty, you have brought so many soldiers and horses, have you reported it yet?" Xu Da said nervously.

"Report? How to prepare?"

Xu Da let out a long sigh and said, "This is the rule of the imperial court. All princes must have more than 2."

"Why did my father set such ridiculous rules?" Hearing this, Zhu Tuo's face darkened: "In the land of Lingnan, I have the ability to support 10,000+ troops, why are you not allowed to expand the army? Let me tell you, dad is old. , my brain doesn’t work well either, hey
"Your Majesty, shut up, shut up." Xu Da was shocked by these rebellious words.

"What are you afraid of? These are all my people, how could it be spread to the capital!" Zhu Tuo didn't care.

With a cry, the team turned around, headed west, and quickly left the west of the city.

They lined up in a row, facing the city gate.

At this moment, another group of soldiers also came out from the northern city wall. This was a phalanx composed of a thousand soldiers, but this time it was composed of a knight.

"Haha, these are my Lingnan cavalry. To be honest, I have about tens of thousands of cavalry. Although the number is not large, on the plains, if tens of thousands of cavalry charge together, it will be like the sky is falling and the earth is falling!"

Lu Qing was speechless beside him. Sometimes he couldn't understand why his king was so good at bragging?

Due to the high terrain and rugged roads in Lingnan Mountain, the army mainly relies on infantry. However, the number of troops in Lingnan is only 3. Where did your majesty find the courage to say such a thing?
Including all the iron cavalry in Lingnan, plus mules and donkeys, the number is only [-].

Where did His Highness Prince Su have the courage to scream so much in one breath?
As soon as Zhu Tuo said this, everyone was stunned and did not recover for a long time.

Behind this knight, there were also swordsmen and archers. These soldiers came out one by one, with steady steps and high morale. At a glance, these soldiers were well-trained and experienced in hundreds of battles.

As soon as the army came out, the army slowly assembled on the plain, looked into the distance, and shouted at the same time: "Invincible, invincible!"

This voice was heard from a long distance away, making the toast chiefs' mouths go dry and their hearts beat faster.

At this time, Zhu Tuo had already arrived at the top of the city. He put his hands on the top of the city and shouted to the army in the distance: "Warriors of the South, your hard work is rewarded!"

As soon as this statement came out, the neat soldiers on the city wall responded at the same time.

"Fighting for the king, I have no regrets!"

Zhu Tuo turned around, shrugged his shoulders, smiled at the chieftains and said, "Isn't the army in Nanwang City very powerful?"

"mighty!"

The chieftains of the major chieftains praised him one after another.

At this moment, even some rebellious leaders gave up this idea.

Facing Lingnan's army, if they confronted it head-on, they would be killed in an instant.

Will be crushed by such a group of elite legions.

Even Xu Da, who had been on the battlefield all his life, couldn't help but gasp at this time. Whether it was the soldiers from the south or this unprecedented military parade, he was emotionally excited.

King Su's military discipline is no worse than that of the Emperor!
"Mr. Xu, we must report this matter to the palace."

Xu Da glared angrily and shouted: "Are you trying to force Prince Su to rebel? Do you want the world to be turbulent again? Do you want the emperor to kill each other?"
