Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 106

Wearing a bright armor with phoenix wings and a helmet, Mu Ying majestically climbed onto the high platform and spoke passionately and generously to encourage morale, which made the soldiers below scream.

Then they shouted slogans together.

"Drive out the Tartars and the Ming Dynasty will be victorious..."

After going through the process, the troops lined up neatly. Mu Ying was at the front, with Vice General Lan Yu at her side, followed by the generals such as the left deputy general, the right deputy general, the left and right staff generals, and Li Wei.

Zhao Ben, Minister of the Ministry of War, followed the holy orders and issued the seal to Mu Ying. At the same time, he sent the generals off on behalf of the imperial court.

"May the general make a triumphant return as soon as possible!"

"I wish General Lan a great victory..."

……

Zhao Ben exchanged greetings with the generals one by one. When he came to Li Wei, he was startled: "What is this?"

All the generals wore Ming-style armor. Only Li Wei wore the "god mecha" he made himself. Crucially, he also wore a face shield.

Li Wei quickly opened his mask: "Master Zhao, it's me!"

Zhao Ben's face suddenly darkened, and he thought to himself that he was unlucky. He would have told Mu Ying Lanyu a few words to avoid running into this thief.

"Oh, who did I ask? It turned out to be General Li. Then I wish General Li an early heroic death and a heroic death in this expedition." Zhao Benpi said with a smile.

Li Wei's face froze, and he curled his lips and replied rudely: "Master Zhao is too polite, then I also wish Master Zhao that he will work hard and die long ago!"

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

After Zhao Ben finished talking, the army finally set off under the leadership of Mu Ying to expedition to Beiyuan.

Looking at the retreating army, Zhao Benchang breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that the dog thief was finally gone.

In his mind, the biggest benefit of this army expedition is that he got rid of Li Wei, the troublemaker in the court. Without him, the ministers in the court no longer have to be distracted by thinking about impeachment every day, and can finally do their business with peace of mind. .

The army marched like a long dragon. Except for Li Wei's Shenji Battalion, the other 1 troops led by Mu Ying this time were mainly cavalry, so Li Wei's Shenji Battalion was naturally left behind. Last.

Li Wei was not in a hurry, just hanging from a distance.

The cavalry marches faster than the infantry, but not much faster. After all, the horses also need to rest, not to mention the burden of food and baggage. Although the infantry moves slowly, people have good endurance and can still keep walking. To catch up.

In fact, in ancient times, humans relied on their endurance to run long distances to consume their prey. In nature, humans are not ranked high in terms of speed, but in terms of endurance, humans are still quite strong.

But this human being does not include Li Wei himself.He is a weakling among humans, especially in this Ming Dynasty.

After leaving the capital, Li Wei quickly asked Lu Tang to help him take off his steel armor. This thing was really heavy, and he was already exhausted in just such a short time.

After taking off their steel armor, Lu Tang and others cleaned out one of the carriages under his instructions. Using the steel bars and wooden frames that had been prepared long ago, Lu Tang and others quickly changed the flatbed carriage into a It became a gorgeous and comfortable carriage.

It is impossible to ride a horse. Don't say he can't ride. Even if he can ride, he will never ride. Just kidding, riding a horse for thousands of kilometers will wear out calluses on all three of his legs?

After the carriage was arranged, Li Wei came up and lay down comfortably on the bench covered with animal skins. While leisurely admiring the beautiful scenery along the road, he took out a gold-rimmed handbag from his arms. Yu Ruyi plays with it.

"Well, the needle doesn't poke, the needle doesn't poke..."

On the first day of the march, the army stopped to rest after walking thirty miles. After all, it was almost noon when they left the city.

When the army stopped, Li Wei's Shenji Battalion had fallen four or five miles behind, and it was only in the evening that they could catch up.

In the temporary camp, Mu Ying summoned all the generals. They had already held a meeting for a long time, but Li Weicai arrived late.

Seeing him coming in, all the generals frowned.

"I've met General Mu. How are you generals?" Li Wei greeted with a smile.

"Why is your Shenji Camp moving so slowly?"

Lan Yu asked loudly with a displeased face, and the other generals were also a little unhappy. After all, no one wants to be held back by someone who is going to fight.

"General Lan doesn't know something. You are cavalry and we are infantry. The cavalry has horses and the infantry has no horses. Of course we will be slower!"

Li Wei patiently gave him some knowledge about the numbers of cavalry and infantry... Bah, the difference between the arms.

"Nonsense, the infantry is not as procrastinating as you!"

"that is……"

"Don't hold everyone back..."

The infantry's marching speed is indeed slower than that of the cavalry, but Li Wei's slowness is too much. Originally, the marching distance today was not much.

Li Wei pouted, wondering what was going on. General Mu Ying hadn't even spoken yet.

"Okay, okay, General Li's words are not unreasonable. Let's just make do with it."

Mu Ying quickly smoothed things over, but then she still told Li Wei: "General Li, the time for this expedition is tight, your Shenji Battalion should try to move as fast as possible, so as not to delay the fighter plane!"

Li Wei thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay, General, don't worry."

"Humph!" Lan Yu snorted coldly.

But seeing that he agreed, he said no more and the generals continued to discuss the route of travel and the supply of food and grass.

……

Li Wei is having a meeting here, and Lao Zhu is also burning the midnight oil in the Qianqing Palace in the capital.Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little tired after approving the memorial for a while, so he wanted to scratch his back with Yu Ruyi, but he scratched the place in his memory and found nothing.

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and searched again, but still couldn't find it. His expression suddenly changed.

"Come on!"

A guard hurriedly came in and knelt down: "See your Majesty."

"Who has been to Qianqing Palace today?"

"Master Li Wei and Li came here this morning, and the prince came here in the afternoon."

The guard answered truthfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt cold after hearing this. Needless to say, Yu Ruyi must have been stolen by that piece of shit again.

"Why is this bitch stealing our tickles again? Can't he change his behavior?"

Zhu Yuanzhang roared in anger, his voice echoing in the Qianqing Palace.

It's a pity that Li Wei is gone now. Even if he wants to catch someone and spank him, he can't...

The next day, before setting off, Li Wei asked Abu to summon all the officials from thousands of households under his command and teach them how to wear leggings.

Gaiters are quite useful. I think back then, our ancestors relied on two legs and set a record of 140 miles of infantry march in fourteen hours. Li Wei didn't expect to compete with those predecessors. He just marched faster to catch up. Lan Yu and their cavalry will do.

Thousands of households gathered together, waiting for him to speak.

"Today I will teach you a secret of marching. If you all agree on it, go back and teach it to the brothers below. Everyone will agree on it."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Wei took the prepared cloth strap and wrapped one end flatly around the leg starting from the upper of the shoe. He turned the leggings over every two turns to ensure that the flat surface of the leg continued to stretch up to the crook of the leg.

After tying the leggings, he tried to take two steps, and then said to everyone: "As you can see, this thing is called leggings. During long-distance marches, it can slow down the rapid flow of blood in the legs and relieve pain. When we get back, let the soldiers tie them up like this, it will be of great help to our march."

The soldiers couldn't understand why. This thing was not difficult, but was it really useful?

"General, are these leggings really useful?" Song Zhong asked suspiciously.

"Of course, but you may feel uncomfortable in the first two days after using this thing. It will be fine in two days. You will know after you try it."

"Okay, I obey."

Although they still had some doubts, the general had orders, and they still arranged the leggings according to Li Wei's instructions.

In the next two days, Li Wei's Shenji Battalion continued to march slowly and leisurely, hanging far behind the army. It arrived a step late as usual at night, but fortunately it did not fall behind.

However, the Shenji Battalion was lagging behind every day, and it was inevitable that it would be looked down upon and ridiculed by other teams. Li Wei didn't care, but the soldiers below couldn't stand it anymore, and some even got into arguments with others.

On the third day, Li Wei asked Abu to call Song Zhong over again and asked:

"Song Zhong, how do you feel about using the leggings, brothers? Have you gotten used to them?"

"General, the soldiers have all adapted to it. I felt a little uncomfortable when I first used it two days ago, but after getting used to it in the past two days, I feel that marching is much lighter than before. The leggings that General thought are really good!"

Song Zhong quickly replied that he didn't expect that the method the general came up with was really effective. At first, his calves would feel uncomfortable with swelling, but after two days, this feeling disappeared and he could walk much more briskly. .

Li Wei nodded: "Okay, let's speed up and let them see our marching speed."

"Okay, my subordinates will pass on the order!"

Song Zhong happily agreed and immediately turned around to convey the order.

The people in the Shenji Camp had been holding their breath for a long time. Now that they were used to wearing leggings, they walked much more easily. After hearing the order, they immediately became energetic and quickened their pace. If the general hadn't stopped them, some of them would have broken into a trot. .

The speed of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion has increased a lot. Although it is still not as fast as the cavalry, it is not much worse. Furthermore, the carriages Li Wei uses for the Shenji Battalion are all carefully modified by the Ordnance Bureau. , much faster than the other creaking broken wooden vehicles. At this time, the infantry walked faster, and it didn't take long to catch up with the cavalry team in front of them.

The cavalrymen who were feeding their horses and resting when they saw this group of peasants actually caught up with them, opened their mouths in surprise.

Did these people eat Dragon Tiger Bone Strengthening Granules today?Why are you running so fast?

Several soldiers who had had arguments before were dumbfounded when they saw these cavalry, they all made faces, and then took two quick steps to pass them.

Lan Yu was drinking water and resting with Sun Ke, the left counselor general, while chatting. Suddenly, he saw a group of people wearing cloth armor walking past.

Both of them were startled. They stood up and looked around. They saw that the people from the Shenji Battalion had already taken advantage of their rest to catch up and were about to complete the overtaking.

"Hey, why are these people from the Shenji Camp walking so fast today?"

Sun Ke couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw these civilians moving forward quickly, as if they had taken medicine.

At this time, a gorgeous and ostentatious carriage sped past them. When passing by them, Li Wei opened the curtains and said provocatively:
"Hey, General Lan and General Sun, are you still resting? Hurry up, I'm waiting for you in front!"

Lan Yu and Sun Ke's expressions changed. They thought it would be a huge shame if the four-legged ones were left behind by these two-legged ones.

Lan Yu had a sullen face and looked at Li Wei's carriage going away. He didn't bother to take a break and immediately shouted: "Don't rest, everyone, get started immediately!"

The cavalrymen who were feeding their horses and resting were ordered to stop resting and continue on the road!

After all, the cavalry was much faster than the infantry. They quickly overtook the Shenji Battalion after setting off, but this time they were no longer as relaxed as before. As soon as they relaxed and rested a little, the Shenji Battalion would immediately catch up.

And those cavalrymen who had originally laughed at them leisurely were now made miserable by them. Originally, the army had just set off, and there was still plenty of time. There was no need to march in a hurry, but with the Shenji Battalion in such a hurry, they had to step up and dare not Relax.

　It will be on the shelves at noon tomorrow. Thank you for your support. I will write a testimonial for the launch in the evening and chat with you a little more.
