If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 168 King Ning borrows troops
Although Zhu Zhanyu didn't care about any "goodwill" actions done by King Ning's troops on Kyushu Island, he had to say that the Duoyan Sanwei army, which originally belonged to King Ning and was later deceived by Zhu Di, still had no military discipline. What's the problem.

It's important to capture the city and seize the territory. They did not take advantage of the Mongolian tradition of massacring cities.

Although they were very brutal when attacking the Japanese castles that refused to surrender, after they captured the castles, they basically did nothing wrong.

Of course, neither Prince Ning nor Zhu Zhanyu took minor issues such as drinking, making trouble, and fighting seriously.

These people can just be captured by King Ning and given a beating with a military stick. It is not a big deal.

After all, the Duoyan Three Guards are not Zhu Zhankun's army, and it is normal for them to not be as disciplined in military discipline as the Qingyu Guards.

Not to mention the Duoyan Three Guards, even Zhu Zhanchun's own Tianjin Three Guards cannot be compared with the Qingyu Guards in terms of military discipline, even though their military discipline is already on the same level as the Duoyan Three Guards and the ordinary Ming army.

After all, these are still the armies of the feudal era. The strict discipline of the Qingyu Guards is not only stipulated by Zhu Zhanquan and strictly enforced, but also has a lot to do with the large number of noble children in the Qingyu Guards.

Perhaps many people think that these noble children should be like flying eagles, fighting dogs, and being domineering, but in fact, although the children of the noble family in the early Ming Dynasty do not deny that there are playboys, most of them are well-behaved.

He is really unruly. Let alone survive the Hongwu Dynasty when Lao Zhu was in power, Zhu Di is not an easy person to talk to.

In addition, Zhu Zhanchun's Qingyu Guards have been tempered for several months, and the heads of those who do not observe military discipline have long been chopped off and hung on flagpoles to dry. How can the Qingyu Guards' military discipline be bad?
As for the Tianjin Three Guards, although Zhu Zhanquan deployed officers from the Qingyu Guards to train them, they were separated by one layer after all, and some things were not implemented properly.

But even so, if they can do not disturb the local area, maintain strict discipline on the battlefield, and dare to fight hard, the Tianjin Three Guards are already a strong army in the world.

This actually made Prince Ning very envious, and he proposed to Zhu Zhanjun several times that he wanted to borrow people from him to train the Duoyan Guards and improve their military discipline.

However, even so, the military discipline of the Ming army can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous army compared to the Japanese themselves.

At the very least, when the Ming army attacked those Japanese castles, the army only targeted the castles where Japanese troops were stationed, and did not do any damage to the castle towns where ordinary Japanese people lived. It was not like the Japanese themselves who couldn't defeat them. The castle was set on fire in the castle town.

After Fan Zhong defeated the main force of the Japanese on Kyushu Island, the remnants of the Japanese scattered and disturbed local villages. Some remnants even tried to set fire to castle towns in various places. Come and cause trouble and losses to the Ming army.

If Zhu Zhancheng hadn't been familiar with the character of these Japanese, and specially sent troops to patrol various places to collect these remnants to maintain public order, I'm afraid that there would have been wars and riots everywhere on Kyushu Island by now.

However, there is also an advantage, that is, these Japanese people quickly obeyed the rule and management of the Ming army, and merchants from various towns quickly prepared gifts and came to see Zhu Zhancheng, hoping to meet these Japanese and not intend to leave. To establish good relations with the Ming army.As for the Japanese army counterattacking and driving away the Ming army?Even the current shogunate general who conquered the barbarians would not believe this kind of joke.

Because there are more than one Ming army coming to attack the Japanese country, the other four Ming armies have now invaded the Japanese country. Now it can be said that the whole territory of the Japanese country is full of wars, and the shogunate is unable to organize an army to resist the Ming army's attack.

After all, including Zhu Zhanquan and King Ning, there are a total of five routes to attack the Ming army of the Japanese state. Each route requires the shogunate to mobilize and mobilize all the troops from the country to fight. Now that the five routes are advancing in parallel, the shogunate and the Japanese government have already They are already so exhausted that they have no ability to organize effective resistance.

Compared with them, the Japanese daimyo on Kyushu Island were able to organize tens of thousands of troops to counterattack after the Ming army captured Fukuoka. This was already because they had sufficient martial virtue.

"Now the four armies are advancing together. Uncle Ning, is it time for your Duoyan guards to make a move?" In the courtyard of the hot spring villa, Zhu Zhanyu looked at Prince Ning and asked him.

Prince Ning was invited to the banquet today. In the past few days, he and the three guards of Duoyan captured the remaining Japanese castles on Kyushu Island. It can't be said that he has done a lot of hard work, but he can still be said to be a dusty man.

However, for Prince Ning, who had been depressed before, leading troops in battle these days made him enjoy it.

It has to be said that few of the sons of Emperor Hongwu are really good-for-nothings. Even though King Ning was easily deceived by Zhu Di into taking away the three guards of Duoyan, and even kidnapped him to go to jail, King Ning himself still had two problems in leading troops to fight. Take the brush.

In the past few days, King Ning has almost easily taken over all the castles on the entire Kyushu Island, without any effort.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Japanese castles are just like that. There is really not much city defense to speak of. It is completely unnecessary to compete with the Ming Dynasty in siege technology.

You must know that in this era, the Japanese still used the most primitive method of ant attack to attack cities, and they did not even have an siege ladder.

"It's really time to take action. Although Gu's men have captured many cities in the past few days, that's not what Gu came to Japan for." King Ning nodded slightly, and he was very interested in the meaning of Zhu Zhankun's words. He understood, but he still asked Zhu Zhankun: "Prince Zheng, I have helped you a lot during this period. Although we are uncles and grandnephews, we get along fairly well. I don't know. Can you lend me the Jade Guard for a while? I'll pay you back after I defeat Shi Jian Yinshan alone.

And those cannons and firearms of yours, I wonder if you can sell them to Gu?How about exchanging one year's output of Gu Na Shi Jian Yin Shan with you?Your artillery and firearms are really useful! "

"There are not many artillery and firearms for the time being. Those equipped by the Qingyu Guards are all produced by the workshops in Nanjing. The three guards in Tianjin have not yet been equipped. There is indeed not much for sale. If Uncle Ning wants to buy it, maybe he can wait for me. We'll talk about it after we build a new workshop on Kyushu Island and have production." Regarding the sophisticated artillery and muskets he has in hand, Zhu Zhanyu has no intention of selling them, but there is indeed no excess production at the moment.

However, regarding Prince Ning's desire to borrow troops, Zhu Zhanquan thought about it and said, "The Qingyu Guards are my personal guards and cannot be borrowed. However, the Tianjin Central Guards can be borrowed from Prince Ning's uncle."
