Chapter 539: Three Armies Depart Together, Each Leading the Way

Zhu Biao's title of "the most stable prince in history" is not just a joke.

That was something Zhu Yuanzhang really spent countless time and various supports to bring to life.

And Zhu Biao is worthy of this trust.

I won’t talk about it when I was studying earlier, especially in recent years.

With the establishment of the cabinet and Zhu Yuanzhang's letting go, it can be said that Zhu Biao was almost de facto emperor.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not still appeared at court meetings and his replies could not be seen on some memorials, I am afraid that many people would have completely regarded Zhu Biao as the emperor.

Zhu Biao also seized these opportunities and expanded his influence in all aspects, including the court and the military.

It was this kind of absolute influence that made Lan Yu and Li Jinglong completely intimidated.

Don't think Zhu Biao's words are a joke.

If they really wanted to fight for this today, then Zhu Biao would definitely be able to hide them for the rest of their lives.

They knew very well why the three of them were sent out on this expedition.

It's not that the Ming Dynasty has no other generals. On the one hand, it is to cultivate them, and on the other hand, it feels that for minor matters, there is no need to use other generals.

Xu Da and others were able to fight large battles with an army of hundreds of thousands, so could it be that they couldn't control these few thousand people?
Zhu Yuanzhang simply felt that there was no point in using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, so he did not use those old men.

But what if the people they choose are not ambitious and end up causing trouble?

Haha, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Biao really didn’t mind using that “big knife”.

Once Lan Yu and Li Jinglong behave themselves, everything will be easy.

Reorganize the troops, prepare food and fodder, and forge weapons...

Originally, these things were easy to do, and now with Fu Youde's huge harvest in the previous time and Prince Zhu Biao standing behind him, all the matters were done very quickly.

It's just like mercury pouring on the ground, flowing like water and constantly moving forward.

With Zhu Biao watching the expeditionary force, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and began to torture Master Hu.

In his opinion, among all the people in the Ming Dynasty, the only one who could give him advice on matters of maritime trade and navigation was Master Hu.

And Mr. Hu has been free recently anyway.

If he were asked to work as an official, he would naturally be unhappy.

But as it is now, Zhu Yuanzhang came to him to chat and talk nonsense about some trivial matters, and asked for his advice on the matter.

Mr. Hu was quite happy about it.

Blow!

Who doesn’t know how to brag?

In my previous life, I would sit at a roadside stall with my best friends and chat over barbecue and beer until our faces turned red, all for the pleasure of showing off.

It’s even better now. To show off in front of Emperor Hongwu, all you have to do is move your mouth. What’s there to be unhappy about?

Therefore, Mr. Hu really dug out all the knowledge about colonization and navigation in his mind.

However, no matter how much Mr. Hu boasted, there was one thing he remembered very clearly.

That is, even if Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to bring up matters concerning military power, he pretended not to hear it.

If you are really pressed, just say you don't know.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more trusting and dependent on Master Hu over the past few days.

There's nothing we can do about it, since Master Hu is so useful and sensible.

However, it was during these days that the day for the three armies to set out on the expedition arrived.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to the dock to see them off and wished the army a safe journey. There was no other way, as all three armies were heading for unknown places overseas.

All the knowledge in their minds comes from the map provided by Master Hu.

But Master Hu had already said that the map could only be used as a reference.

After all, he has not been to the site for investigation, so the specific actions on land still depend on the coaches themselves.

As the army set out, it was divided into three groups and the fight between the three men began.

There is no need to mention Fu Youde. As a veteran general, he has the most experience in leading troops.

At the same time, he had already been out to sea once, so although he was not experienced, he was definitely better than the two greenhorns.

Look, just from the performance of the three fleets during the march, it can be seen that Fu Youde's fleet can be said to be the most stable among the three in terms of marching speed, direction, etc.

Moreover, even during the march, Fu Youde would, based on previous experience, have all the soldiers exercise on the boat every day and call on everyone to go fishing or something.

This can not only kill the boring time on the ship, but also make up for the shortage of food and fodder.

In comparison, the style of Lan Yu's work is completely different.

He is the fastest runner among the three.

Once he encounters a favorable wind, he really dares to pull the sail to full height and rush forward.

The main point is not to be afraid of death!

At the same time, the soldiers under his command are not only fearless of death, but also have a very different style.

The soldiers were in disarray and shouting loudly, looking more like bandits than soldiers.

But just looking at the fact that they never let go of their knives and that they would harass and loot any exposed ship no matter how big or small it was, Lan Yu was not worried about their fighting ability at all.

This is how he has always led his troops, either a big victory or a big defeat, and he dares to fight and fight hard.

In his opinion, if he wanted the soldiers to fight for him, he had to give them enough benefits.

Where do the benefits come from? Naturally, they come from the enemies.

Compared with Fu Youde's steadiness and Lan Yu's radicalism, Li Jinglong, who was at the end, was somewhat inferior.

This sea voyage and expedition is completely different from a land march.

What's more, even when marching on the road, Li Jinglong has the least experience.

Originally he was arrogant and proud, but after only being at sea for less than five days, he was already a little flustered.

It's quite embarrassing to be only concerned with the head and not the butt.

But fortunately, I don’t have to fight the enemy at this moment, so I don’t have to worry about a group of enemies suddenly appearing and catching me off guard.

Therefore, even though there were some bumps and bruises, at least Li Jinglong managed to keep up with the others.

As time went by, Li Jinglong continued to learn and grow slowly.

But unfortunately, at this time, we arrived at our destination.

According to the original arrangement, the three coaches should have asked the foreign king first, and then started fighting if the other party disagreed.

But even the most stable Fu Youde chose to forget about the inquiry at this time.

beat!
Just hit him directly!

How can you gain military merit without fighting?
After choosing the place, the Ming soldiers who had been stuck on the ship for more than half a month instantly turned into fully armed demons and rushed down from the ship.

These foreign nations, who can only make a few noises in the region, have never seen such a brutal and cruel regular army.

In an instant, there was wailing everywhere and the offensive was like a tide!
