Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 179 Lan Yu, this idiot
First, with 12 soldiers and horses, almost all [-] enemy troops were annihilated, and then [-] enemy troops were annihilated one after another?

What a great achievement this is.

How incomparable is this bravery?

You know, this is 3 people fighting against 20 people. Although it is not a one-stop battle, it is not bad.

This is an even greater disparity in strength than when Zhu Chu and Mu Ying combined 40 to [-] to face Silun's [-] to [-], almost a tenfold difference.

Although the Eleventh Village of Weimo Prefecture and the Chief of Guangnan, Nong Zhenyou, have not caused too much chaos, they are enough to be regarded as an unparalleled achievement.

Even Lan Yu was stunned after going to court.

Because he prides himself on being full of force, but even he dare not say that he can annihilate so many enemy troops with such a disparity in strength.

If Lan Yu dares to fight, he will not be afraid.

But the problem is, first annihilate 12 of the 11 enemy troops, and then kill all [-] wolf soldiers.

This is ancient times, and annihilation battles rarely occur. If it really reaches that level, it can be said that the enemy and we are already fighting to the death. It is conceivable that the enemy will suffer countless casualties, so our own side will also suffer countless casualties.

Moreover, a unit that can fight to this extent can be said to be an elite soldier who is brave and good at fighting without fear of death. Since ancient times, not many troops can do this.

This kind of troops is already a desperate soldier who has fought to the death in a last-ditch battle.

In the inner hall of the palace, Xu Da followed Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial carriage all the way to the palace.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty," Xu Da congratulated with fists in his hands as soon as he came in.

In fact, before the Qing Dynasty, even when meeting the emperor, ministers of many dynasties did not need to kneel down. It was only after the Qing soldiers entered the country that they became servile.

Therefore, although he met Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, he was not in the court hall, and he was not listening to the edict or oral instructions. In addition, Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang were related, so they just handed him over.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's face was as gloomy as water. After sitting down, he asked Xu Da: "What can I say to congratulate you?"

"Ah?" Xu Da was stunned and said to himself, "Your Majesty, you were in the court just now, didn't you still talk about my tiger son?"Why do you regret it again?

Because I regretted it last time, this is not the first time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and angrily said: "This naughty boy, we originally wanted to call him back to the capital before the year and give him a good scolding and beating. Look at what he did before, even Hu Yuan They were all killed. When Hu Yuan followed us to conquer the world, he was not even born yet."

Xu Da was helpless and came to settle old scores again.

That was already a year ago, and it’s not over yet?
"Tell me about this time, 11 soldiers and horses, first annihilate [-], and then annihilate all [-]? Who are you fooling? Mu Chun must have sent troops from Kunming to support, otherwise it will definitely not be possible," Zhu Yuanzhang said firmly.

Because he had a secret and knew that Zhu Zhen had indeed been to Kunming.

Although Zhu Zhen already knew who the Jin Yiwei was in Dali, he also left the second and fifth son behind this time.

However, who said there are no Jinyiwei in Kunming?

It would be better to say that in all the cities controlled by the Ming army and Han officials, there were Jinyi guards.

Did Zhu Ming think that he didn't know that he had met Shen Wansan?Have you met Zhang Sanfeng?He even kept Shen Wansan's son, Shen Rong, by his side?

He thinks he doesn't know anything, right?
"He just doesn't want to see us, right? And he used to complain and cry to us about his difficulties. But it turned out to be bullshit. He also gave us a piece of broken glass, but actually he has a better one. Xu Da, tell us. , Is there anyone in this world who treats someone like a son? Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he flew into a rage.

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang who was angry, and sighed for Zhu Zhen in his heart, feeling that it was not worth it.

Because Xu Da knew that this morning, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry for some unknown reason. As a result, Zhu Yuan's news hit the muzzle of the gun and exploded Zhu Yuanzhang's powder keg.

As for what exactly Zhu Yuanzhang was angry about.

Xu Da didn't know, and it was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to tell Xu Da. The reason was actually because, just a few days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang had already conferred the title of Crown Prince and Tutor on Lan Yu, Duke of Liang.

But Lan Yu actually dared to complain in private, saying, "Can't he be a grand master?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became furious like thunder.

This damn blue jade, from the beginning of his campaign in Beiyuan, although he has contributed to the great victory in Yuerhai, he has been arrogant about his achievements, and I am afraid that he is suspected of being superior to his master with his achievements.

Even when the troops returned to the court after the Battle of Yuerhai, they not only insulted the Princess of Beiyuan, but even when they arrived at Xifeng Pass at night, because the officials guarding the pass failed to open the door in time to receive her, Lan Yu sent troops to destroy the pass and broke in.

Zhu Yuanzhang then named him the Duke of Liang. With just one word difference, he was planning to knock Lan Yu.

But Lan Yu is becoming more and more arrogant and arrogant.

Moreover, Lan Yu has adopted many adopted sons to serve him in the army, and the promotion and transfer of personnel in the army are all at his discretion.

What on earth is he going to do?Rebellion?
Now that he is still alive, he is like this. If he waits until he dies and Zhu Yunwen comes to power, will he be able to control Lan Yu?Can he still control his eighteenth uncle?

Not to mention that there is a fourth child in Yanjing, and even the second and third children are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Zhu Yuanzhang really had a headache.

Sapphire, sapphire, your life is really over.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though he was old, the murderous aura in his body was stronger than Zhu Chu's.

Xu Da was shocked. Could it be that His Majesty was finally going to attack his own flesh and blood?

Thinking of this, Xu Da broke out in cold sweat. He quickly stepped forward to take the memorial that Zhu Yuanzhang had brought from the court, opened it and read it.

After a while, Xu Da stroked his beard and couldn't help but admired: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Dian King is really brave and resourceful, and he has endless plans."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses from his inner world, glanced at Xu Da, and didn't care that he was reading the memorial, and asked: "What did you say?"

Xu Da spoke slowly and told Zhu Yuanzhang.

Different from before, what the young eunuch reported to the court was only the outline, that is, the causes and consequences of Zhu Zhen's two rebellions, and now was the detailed content.

Zhu Ming was also unambiguous. He led his troops to Kunming first to understand the enemy's situation, and then rushed to Qiubei County. Then he learned that Qiubei County's No. 12 Village had mobilized [-] troops to surround him.

So Zhu Chu made a small plan, first showing the enemy to retreat weakly towards Longtangou, and then laying an ambush here. When the enemy troops penetrated deeper, he relied on the favorable location to catch the enemy off guard. He recorded everything in detail.

Zhu Chu didn't feel too happy about his success, but told the truth in detail. He made it clear that it was because the owners of the eleven villages in Navimo Prefecture were at odds with each other, and there were usually frictions between the villages, so in the middle After the plan, they crowded around and pushed each other into a ball, which gave him the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Zhu Ming said that if the enemy's army had not been in chaos, his original plan was to cut off the enemy's middle army in the middle, and then take advantage of the enemy's low morale to frighten the enemy's front and rear troops into submission and collect the prisoners.

In fact, he didn't expect to be able to wipe out all the enemy troops.

As for Guangnan Chief Nong Zhenyou, Zhu Chu also explained the details and process.

For example, at that time, he had allocated [-] troops, including thousands of cavalry, to quickly control the situation in the [-]th village. At that time, he actually only had [-] troops in hand.

In order to deal with Nong Zhenyou, Zhu Ming first gathered the people in the city, and then conquered the hearts of the Yi people, and then he dared to fight Nong Zhenyou to the death.

If internal unity cannot be guaranteed, he would rather withdraw from Qiubei County temporarily and find a solution later.

After that, it was natural to arrange for Arqiong and others to pretend to be the leader of the village and surrender, and then use a strategy to trick Nong Zhenyou into entering the city, and then annihilate Nong Zhenyou in one fell swoop.

It's just that Zhu Xi's performance on the city wall, like a god descending to earth, is omitted.

In fact, the reason why the [-] wolf soldiers were wiped out so smoothly had a lot to do with Zhu Zhen's strong personal force.

His terrifying power not only boosted his own morale, but also dealt a huge blow to the enemy, and he was able to defeat them all in one fell swoop.

All in all, Zhu Zhen did not hide anything and wrote out the two battles in detail.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da with wide eyes for a moment, his face full of disbelief.

Xu Daze said with a smile: "If Uncle Chengyi (Liu Ji and Liu Bowen) hadn't died of illness long ago, I would have thought that His Highness the King of Dian was Liu Ji's disciple."

Zhu Yuanzhang once compared Li Shanchang to Xiao He and Xu Da to Han Xin. As for Zhang Liang, I am afraid only Liu Bowen can compare.

Moreover, although Liu Bowen was a counselor, he did not use conspiracy as a strategy, which was different from the demon monk Yao Guangxiao.

For example, in the Battle of Jingnan in history, Yao Guangxiao suggested that Zhu Di directly attack Yingtian Nanjing in the later stage. Only then did he finally make the final decision and captured Yingtian City and won the final victory.But if it is Liu Bowen's style, he will not advance rashly. Although he can get a huge victory, if he makes one wrong move, the whole game will be lost.

Therefore, Liu Bowen asked Zhu Yuanzhang to send people to defend Hongdu, and then mobilize all the troops to fight against Chen Youliang.

But if it were Yao Guangxiao, he would probably advise Zhu Yuanzhang to immediately attack Chen Youliang from behind, right?

Looking at the method used by Zhu Chu to kill Nong Zhenyou in Qiubei County, it can be described as a conspiracy.

Aren't you going to attack the city?Then I will open the city gate for you. Do you dare to come in?

Although he was pretending to be the leader of the village, the city gate was really opened, and the plan was just that Nong Zhenyou would come in even if he knew it was a trap.

"It's a perfect plan," Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, but his face looked shocked and he became even more anxious.

Because he was even more sure that this boy was indeed something special. If he really had Liu Bowen's abilities, ingenuity and means, and also had the status of a vassal king and the blessing of the prince's bloodline.

He even has the powerful ability to command troops like Lan Yu and other generals, and has already made many achievements.

Once he dies, who can stop his ambition?
If he wants to rebel, who can resist?
Xu Da was still stroking his beard happily, watching the memorial praising Zhu Yu's combat abilities and methods, but he didn't notice how terrifying Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was.

"Come here, draft an edict, and send it to the King of Dian to come to Beijing as soon as possible. We miss this good son so much," Zhu Yuanzhang squeezed out his thoughts through gritted teeth.

Xu Da was stunned and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion.

As a result, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say: "Didn't that kid always say that he is miserable before? He said that Yunnan is miserable. Then let's let him go back to the capital and live a good life."

Xu Da smiled bitterly. He was not stupid. He could live a long life in the Hongwu Dynasty. Even Tang He retired to his hometown. How could he not know how to protect himself?Can you not know how to advance or retreat?
Xu Da had already heard the implication of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, but he would not interfere in Zhu Yuanzhang's family and state affairs.

He is just a general, no matter what.

Even Xu Da couldn't help but said with emotion: "Your Majesty, in fact, I was planning to resign today. I am already old. I can no longer wield a sword, ride a horse, let alone fight. There have been many incidents behind my back recently. I felt the cold and got gangrene on my back. So I wanted to go back to my hometown to take care of myself."

Xu Da actually wants to retire and return home?
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He had never thought that he would say these words. He suddenly said angrily: "What? Are you even going to leave us?"

Thinking of the loss of Crown Prince Zhu Biao and adopted son Mu Ying just last year, it can be said that he lost his father and mother in his early years, his wife in his middle age, and his son in his later years.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has experienced such a tragic event over and over again.

In addition, after becoming the emperor, in order to consolidate the country and the imperial power, and to pave the way for Prince Zhu Biao, he even dealt with those arrogant Huaixi nobles, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Yuanzhang was betrayed by his relatives.

Some died of illness, and some were killed by himself. Even his biological sons were enfeoffed to their respective vassals.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang a little annoyed, and even said: "Would you rather go back to play with Tang He than play with us?"

Xu Da was extremely shocked. Why is Your Majesty acting like a child?
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang and his three elder brothers were all from Fengyang. Even if they were not in the same village, they were not far apart. They had known each other since childhood. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang even killed a cow and invited them to eat meat and became the eldest brother.

So later when Zhu Yuanzhang went to seek refuge with Guo Zixing, Tang He had a higher position than Zhu Yuanzhang, but he still followed his lead.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was still a soldier or even a groom, Tang He already had thousands of households, and the gap was huge.

But Tang He came to follow Zhu Yuanzhang instead. Perhaps he was impressed by Lao Zhu's domineering spirit at that time?
Tang He is also one of the few heroes who died at the end of his life, and he is ranked fifth in the main hall of the hero temple.

But no matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang should not have said such childish words.

Xu Da felt dumbfounded and explained: "It's true that the old minister can no longer be reused. Now is Lan Yu's era."

It's not okay to refuse to accept old age.

"Blue jade?" Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "Do you really think that idiot can be of great use?"

Xu Da was startled and quickly lowered his head.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang really wants to kill Lan Yu, it has nothing to do with him.

What's more, Xu Da also knew Lan Yu's temperament well. When Chang Yuchun was still alive, that boy was famous for his courage to fight and Han Yong Wushuang. Although he made great achievements many times, he also developed a arrogant temperament.

When Prince Zhu Biao was alive, Lan Yu was Zhu Biao's uncle and could still restrain him.

But Zhu Biao is dead, and the current emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen has no relationship with Lan Yu. The person who is related to Lan Yu is Zhu Yunxi.

As long as the relationship is smoothed out, you can understand what Zhu Yuanzhang is worried about. He is worried that Lan Yu is too powerful and may even have the ambition to rebel.

But again, this has nothing to do with Xu Da. He just wants to retire and return to his hometown as soon as possible and leave this dragon's pond and tiger's den.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to retire and return to my hometown," Xu Da sincerely requested again.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Xu Da with unwillingness.

Tang He left, and all the old ministers died. If Xu Da also left, he would really become a loner.

So Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Xu Da, we can't live without you. Let's do this. When that kid Zhu Ming comes to Beijing, you can give us a good look at whether this kid is a loyal minister who can govern the world, or a A hero in troubled times. I never know when we will be related again. I remember that you have a little daughter in your family, right?"

Xu Da raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang dumbfounded.

In fact, Xu Da had a total of four daughters, three of whom were either married or engaged.

Among them, the eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun married Zhu Di, also known as Princess Yan.

(Official history does not seem to record Queen Xu’s real name. Some say it was Xu Miaoyun, while others said it was Xu Yihua. Here we take Xu Miaoyun.)
The second daughter, Xu Miaoqing, married Zhu Gui and became the acting princess.

The third daughter Xu Miaozhen (named by the author) is also engaged to Zhu Yuanzhang's son An Wang Zhu Ying.

Speaking of which, Zhu Ying is three or four years younger than Zhu Ying.

Now Xu Da only has a little daughter, Xu Miaojin, and Zhu Yuanzhang unexpectedly gave her another idea.

Xu Da is about to cry. He only has four daughters. Do you want to catch them all in one fell swoop?

How many daughters have I given birth to? Are they wives for your sons?
You can't come here to purchase goods.

At that moment, Xu Da called out: "Your Majesty, Miaojin is still young. What's more, you have arranged for the old minister's third daughter, Miaozhen, to be engaged to His Highness Prince An, and His Highness Prince An is the younger brother of His Highness Prince Dian. I'm afraid he will have to wait until His Highness Prince An first comes." His Highness the King of Dian can only consummate the marriage after getting married. How can a younger sister get married before an older sister? But when the time comes, my elder brother is not married yet, but what should I do if my younger brother gets married first?"

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was almost unable to cope with the relationship between this big family and asked: "Is that so?"

Xu Da wiped his cold sweat and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, so please think again."

And Xu Da would have a headache whenever he thought of his little daughter.

According to age, Xu Miaojin is one year older than Zhu Zhen, so she is in her prime.

This daughter is really smart and beautiful, but also a little naughty and quite independent.

She had even complained about herself before, saying that all three of her daughters had been taken over by the old Zhu family. She had even ridiculed herself that she did not dare to deny the marriage. As long as His Majesty gave the order, the daughters would get married obediently.

Xu Da was helpless. Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, and he was the emperor. Of course he didn't dare not give him face.

But this daughter also said wildly that if he dared to marry her to the emperor's son in the future, she would simply become a nun.

What's good about the Zhu family's son?
Xu Miaojin really looked down on these sons of Emperor Hongwu, thinking that they were just of good background, especially those like King Qin and King Jin who committed many evil deeds in their fiefdoms.

There are quite a few such vassal kings.

So Xu Miaojin looked down upon her even more.

She is very proud. As the daughter of Duke Wei, she will not bully the people because of her status, nor will she be complacent about it.

She, Xu Miaojin, is proficient in poetry, lyrics, and poetry. She also learned military skills from her father since she was a child. She can even ride on a horse and go to war, even if she goes into battle to kill the enemy.

That is to say, as a daughter, otherwise she would have to make achievements on her own.

So Xu Miaojin had long warned Xu Da that if she had to get married, she would become a monk. She would rather be a nun than a princess. Even if she was asked to be a queen, she would not care.
