Chapter 20 Wang Fu, a fierce general?

In a corner of the camp, Wang Fu was holding a long spear in his hand, and Zhu Zhen was standing in front of him.

Just listen to Wang Fu's explanation: "My lord, please don't read those novels and stories. In a real battlefield to kill enemies, swords like ours are almost useless."

"As a leading general, even if he leads the army, he is still fighting on horseback. Unless he falls off his horse, he will use the saber in desperation."

"Think about it, the enemy and we are both on horseback, and we are separated by such a long distance. What can you do with a knife?"

Zhu Ming nodded and said: "Wang Fu, I asked you to teach me some of the most basic fighting methods. I am not a fool. Did you misunderstand something?"

Wang Fu scratched his head in embarrassment, coughed slightly and said, "Let's start with the spear first. The spear is the king of weapons and the most common weapon on the battlefield, so it is easy for novices to learn. But if you really want to master it, It is extremely difficult to master a superb marksmanship."

Then, Wang Fu turned around and suddenly shot in the air.

He first made several quick thrusts, and then used one move to sweep away the entire army.

In these moves, Wang Fu not only brought out the strengths of the gun, that is, the characteristics of an inch longer and an inch stronger, but also showed a sense of domineering.

Zhu Ming's eyes gleamed when he saw it.

But Wang Fu himself shook his head: "Lances are really not suitable for slashing and sweeping. In fact, the young prince, Prince Muchun is good at marksmanship. In my words, he is better at long knives."

"Especially Wei Guogong, his marksmanship is so superb that even dozens of people on the battlefield can't get close to him. He can be said to be like a god of war. If you can get his guidance, I'm afraid it will be of endless use."

Zhu Ming was stunned: "Wei Guogong? Who?"

Wang Fu also said in a daze: "Uh, that's Lord Xu Da."

"Xu Da? Isn't he dead?" No matter how ignorant Zhu Zhen was about history, he had heard of the roasted goose incident.

Regardless of whether the goose-roasting incident is true, or whether it was fabricated by the Manchus to smear Lao Zhu's reputation, or whether the goose-roasting incident is nothing to do, it is better to believe in unofficial historical records. The foundation was laid for Lao Zhu's several goose-roasting events before he became famous. Xu Da's unshakable position was established.

But at least Zhu Ming understood that this was the autumn of the 24th year of Hongwu.

He was crowned king in April this year, left Yingtian in August, and arrived at the Xipinghou Mansion in early September. It is now around the tenth day of September.

And didn’t Xu Da die in the 18th year of Hongwu?
An old guy who was supposed to have been dead for six years was suddenly mentioned by Wang Fu, and even said that he would go to Xu Da to become his disciple?
Zhu Zhen only felt a little cold on his back.

It's not that he thought he had seen a ghost, but he found that when he was dormant in the palace and was a little transparent, it seemed that many things were different from the original history.

Even if he didn't do anything, the butterfly effect began to secretly start.

It would be better to say that just because he did nothing, he may have deviated from his original historical self. Just because he did not dare to do anything, did he change history?
No matter what is changed accidentally, it is like throwing a stone into the lake of history. Maybe it is just a ripple now, but it is still undeniable that there will be changes.

Isn't this the butterfly effect?

So Xu Dacai didn't die?

But why didn't he die?He didn't change the world's technological level. Xu Da died of a sore on his back. Logically speaking, he should have gotten sick, shouldn't he still get sick?
Because Zhu Zhen couldn't figure out the situation and was too far away from Yingtian, it was difficult to inquire about Xu Da's situation, so he started thinking in a confused way.

Wang Fu looked at Zhu Zhen with suspicion.

What is this young prince thinking?Why is he so looking forward to Xu Da's death?Does he really want to rebel?

Because Xu Da and Tang He were Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand men, after Chang Yuchun's death, although the two generals had retreated to the second line, Fu Youde and Lan Yu began to command the Ming Dynasty army.

But once the two generals raised their arms, the Ming army was still their subordinates.

It can be said that as long as they don't die, even if Lan Yu wants to rebel, it is doomed to fail.

So, what does this young prince want to do?
Zhu Zhen didn't know that his surprise had aroused Wang Fu's deep suspicion.

"Forget it, I don't want to, after all, General Xu. No, Duke Wei, right? After all, Duke Wei has made great contributions, and he deserves to enjoy a few more years of happiness. Having said that, Wang Fu, since you are good at using a sword, why not Teach me sword skills?" Zhu Zhen raised his head and looked at Wang Fu with doubt on his face.

Wang Fu cried out: "Your Majesty, the sword used by the general is a long sword, which is very heavy. That's why I want you to become proficient in marksmanship first."

Anyway, Zhu Xi is only 12 years old, isn't he?

"Stop talking nonsense, you can use it, but I can't? Go and get your weapons," Zhu Zhen was furious, actually looking down on him?

Wang Fu had no choice but to call a few soldiers to get his sword.

When Wang Fu's weapon was taken, Zhu Min couldn't help being shocked and shouted: "Damn, you are using the Qinglong Yanyue Sword?"

It turns out that what Wang Fu used was the famous Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which can also be called Guan Dao, because this sword has been closely connected with the martial sage Guan Yu. When mentioning the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, the first thing that comes to mind is Guan Erye.

Unexpectedly, Wang Fu, who usually seems to be inconspicuous, would actually use such a high-profile weapon?
Zhu Ming nodded again. It was no wonder that he had previously felt that Wang Fu's fighting style preferred to be open and close, even a bit domineering.

It turned out to be the case.

Moreover, this Qinglong Yanyue Sword is very heavy. Although it is not an exaggerated 82 kilograms, it weighs more than forty or fifty kilograms.

No wonder it took two or three soldiers to carry it.

At the same time, one thing that needs to be explained is that in ancient times, a pound was not ten taels, but 16 taels. It was not until the [-]th century in modern times that it was changed to one pound and ten taels after the unified unit of measurement was announced.

Therefore, ten pounds at this time was 160 taels, which is equivalent to sixteen pounds in modern times.

Fifty catties is not 500 taels, but 800 taels, which means eighty jins.

So the real Qinglong Yanyue Sword should weigh more than 130 kilograms?
In fact, Zhu's idea was a bit exaggerated, because there were no grams in ancient times. If calculated according to modern grams, one pound in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to one pound in modern times.

Because one pound in modern times is 590 grams, and one pound in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to 16 grams, so it seems that one pound is equal to [-] taels, but in fact the total difference in one pound is not very big.

Moreover, Luo Guanzhong, the author of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was from the Ming Dynasty after all, and he also used Ming Dynasty values.

Therefore, the 82 kilograms of Qinglong Yanyue Sword is only about 130 kilograms at most, and it is definitely not as exaggerated as more than [-] kilograms.

But Wang Fu's weapon was also outrageously exaggerated. Even if it only weighed fifty kilograms, converted into modern units, it still weighed 56 kilograms.

Think about the weight of more than 50 kilograms. Just lifting it is very difficult, let alone wielding it on the battlefield.

Is Wang Fu still a fierce general?
