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

Chapter 49 Training troops under orders
"More convenient and faster? Tell me what's going on." Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanchen in front of him. Although his tone was very gentle, at this moment he was like a general about to go on an expedition, exuding endless momentum and fighting spirit. It seemed more like he was expecting something.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanyu understood that Zhu Di was expecting him to use the Xian family's military training methods to train an invincible army, so that he, the general who conquered the north, could conquer Mobei and establish achievements far beyond those of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Obviously, if Zhu Zhanjun can satisfy Zhu Di, then everything will be easy to say next.

If Zhu Di is dissatisfied, the consequences of angering the emperor will be...

So he did not show off and said to Zhu Di: "In Penglai, my grandson once saw a method used by immortals to train Tao soldiers, called the method of obeying jade."

"Taking the jade method? It sounds like it has something to do with jade. Shouldn't you eat jade?" Although Zhu Di didn't read much about the classics, he had a lot of knowledge, and he could guess a general idea after hearing it.

"The method of taking jade is to use a special method to refine a kind of jade medicine, and dissolve it with water before taking it, so it is called the method of taking jade." Zhu Zhanquan explained to Zhu Di, and also compared this method with his own Qianyuan Zhuangmian Ointment made a comparison: "A pair of jade medicine can be dissolved and can be taken by hundreds of people. It is most suitable for large-scale training of soldiers. It only needs to be taken for three months, and special training methods are used to digest the power of the medicine." , it can make the soldiers look like jade, not afraid of swords, and their strength will be greatly increased.

Although Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment is indeed more effective in terms of medicinal effect. A pair of Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment can make people tear apart tigers and leopards, drag down nine oxen, but it is more about increasing Qi and blood and consolidating the foundation. If you want to cultivate a strong general who is not worthy of any mistakes, you still need follow-up hard training and guidance from famous teachers.

In addition, the cost of one furnace of Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment is enough to refine ten furnaces of jade medicine. Therefore, if you want to train soldiers, grandpa, it is most appropriate to train soldiers with the jade method. "

Zhu Di touched his beard, looked at Zhu Zhanchen seriously, and fell into thinking.

There was nothing difficult to understand about the method of obeying jade that Zhu Zhanjun explained. Zhu Di figured out what was going on just after listening to it once.

But he did not make a decision immediately, but carefully considered the pros and cons.

The method of serving jade is indeed suitable for large-scale training of soldiers, but Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Cream is not without its advantages.

If the jade medicine taken by Yufa was better than Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment, Zhu Zhanquan would not use Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment instead of jade medicine.

So there should be differences that he didn't understand, and Zhu Zhanchun didn't tell all the key points.

So Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhankun: "Then why don't you use jade medicine yourself, but instead go to all the trouble and effort to refine this marrow-strengthening ointment?"

Zhu Zhanquan was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect that Zhu Di would ask this question, but he still answered truthfully: "Because what you can get by taking jade medicine is only a body that is not afraid of swords like sapphire, and the ability to change your strength." It should be larger, which is indeed enough for ordinary soldiers, and even for ordinary military lieutenant generals. But for the grandson, this is tantamount to self-destruction, because the grandson is suffering from both qi and blood loss. The resulting physical weakness requires replenishing Qi and blood so that the foundation of the body's losses can be compensated, rather than seeking quick results."

"That's the truth." Zhu Di accepted Zhu Zhanchun's explanation. After nodding slightly, he suddenly put his arms around Zhu Zhanchun's shoulders, put his face in front of Zhu Zhanchun and asked him: "What about Zhanchun? Do you know how to refine jade medicine and how to train soldiers? If grandpa asks you to use jade medicine to train a guard of soldiers, can you do it well?"

"If grandpa has an order, then my grandson is naturally bound to do his best and will go all out." Zhu Zhanyu heard what Zhu Di meant, but did not refuse: "But when it comes to training soldiers, my grandson only knows how to refine jade medicine and temper it." The soldiers should be trained to strengthen their muscles and bones. As for things like fighting in battle formations, Grandpa, you have to send someone else to teach them."

Zhu Zhanjun had already heard Zhu Di's intention, which was simply to let him train a troop of soldiers and horses whose combat effectiveness exceeded that of an ordinary army.

For Zhu Zhanchun, this is not a difficult task, and he can also take this opportunity to gain military power, which is also a good thing for the competition for reserve positions. After all, this is an army trained by Zhu Zhanchun. It is indispensable.

And if this thing is done well and satisfies Zhu Di, there will definitely be more soldiers and horses for Zhu Zhanchen to train in the future. After all, for an emperor like Zhu Di who can fight on horseback, the more troops he can fight, the better. Okay, one guard and horse only has 6000 or [-] people, so what is that enough for?

It's just that Zhu Zhanjun is a little hesitant. On the one hand, he is worried that this is actually Zhu Di's test of Donggong. On the other hand, it is because what he wants most now is to restore his own strength, rather than spending time and energy on repeated tasks. Refining a certain kind of elixir and training the army.

Of course, if you can really hold a guard and horse, then it is natural to get military power. After all, this is a soldier and horse that can be used as a Taoist soldier and can be used in many ways.

Faced with what Zhu Zhanyu said, Zhu Di looked at him carefully before letting him go, and then threw him a gold medal: "This is grandpa's token. Take it. If you need anything during military training, you can do it." Take it to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for it. For other needs, you may be able to do it easily.

This guard horse will be left to you to train. The imperial edict and military symbols will be prepared for you later. If there is anything else that Grandpa needs to prepare for you, you can mention it now. "

"Grandpa, I need a general who knows how to train troops. Grandpa, you have to send me one no matter what. Otherwise, my grandson will have to refine elixirs and train troops. I am really too busy alone." Zhu Zhanqi saw Zhu Di was determined, and naturally wanted to save himself some trouble.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanyu and said angrily: "Little monkey boy, are you still playing tricks on grandpa? Since grandpa asked you to train soldiers, you should train well for me. Don't think about it. You have to train this guard horse." If you do well, grandpa will reward you with them. If you don't practice well, grandpa won't be able to take back the military power of this guard horse?"

"Grandpa, you misunderstood. My grandson is really too busy." Zhu Zhanquan looked at Zhu Di with a flattering smile. He knew that Zhu Di had seen through his little thoughts, but he still insisted: "Grandpa, no The matter of military power is that your grandson really doesn’t know how to do military affairs. If you don’t send someone who knows how to do it, your grandson really can’t take care of it! Moreover, using the jade method to train soldiers, whether it is refining jade medicine or training soldiers, is It takes a lot of time and thought, and my grandson really can’t do it alone.”

When Zhu Di heard what Zhu Zhanqun said, he thought about it and said: "I will send you a deputy general later, and you also have to learn the art of war... In this way, I make a decree that no matter who the general in the court is, you will You can ask for advice and let them teach you the art of war."
