Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 158 Chapter 158: Emperor Qumo Zhu Xifeng, the founding emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that his grandson actually said that his royal guards were not as good as the iron gall guards under Lao Jiu, Zhu Yuanzhang did not get angry, but felt that it was natural.

In fact, the Jin Yiwei and the Iron Dan Guards are two completely different work natures!

The Jin Yiwei are better at guarding and intelligence, while the Iron Guards are the iron-blooded legion that charges on the battlefield. The two have different responsibilities, but there is actually no comparison!

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Jin Yiwei may not be as good as the Tie Guan Guards, but when it comes to other aspects, such as investigating cases and confiscating homes, the Tie Guan Guards may not be the opponents of the Jin Yiwei!

Zhu Yuanzhang would not have any bad thoughts just because of his child's words.

But seeing Zhu Yue shaking his head in denial, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more excited!

"No, we have heard that you, the brave guard, are already famous in the northwest! It is said that each of them is seven feet tall and has a strong back and a strong waist!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"That's just a rumor, and it's not worth mentioning!"

Zhu Li continued to explain.

"Then all members wear armor, even the horses wear soft armor. All members and horses are carefully selected. Is this correct?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Zhu Yue was immediately stunned!

Something is wrong!

How did the old man know?

"Furthermore, we also know that the members of these Iron Guards are all young adults between the ages of 25 and 35, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, staring at Zhu Yue with a smile.

kindness?

Zhu Li's heart was even more shocked!

The old man actually knows his iron-hearted guards so clearly that he almost knows them all?

How did he get the news?

You know, the Iron Guards are indeed relatively famous in the northwest, but they are just famous!

As for how the Iron Dan Guards were formed, few people know the specifics, and Zhu Li also keeps it a secret!

Logically speaking, the old man has at most heard of this iron warrior, but he definitely knows more than that!

Of course Zhu Yue would not know that Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen his iron-gallant guards in the simulator screen!

It can also be said that the Iron Guards were definitely the top super cavalry regiment in the world during the Hongwu period!

Although there are only 2,000 people at present, by the Chengwu period, the number expanded to about 10,000, and a group of veterans will be eliminated every year, and then new blood will be absorbed to keep the overall combat effectiveness of this team at its peak!

It was not until the emergence of flintlocks and Ming-style rifles that these iron-hearted guards got off their horses and finally became one of the imperial guards of the palace!

Zhu Yuanzhang not only knows the current status of the Iron Guards, but also knows the future outcome of this super army!

Zhu Yue couldn't help but narrowed her eyes at this moment!

He never expected that the old man could understand the iron gall guards so clearly!

Or is it that the Jin Yiwei arranged by the old man are actually hidden in the Hanzhong Mansion, and they have been spying on all kinds of information for the old man?

Or could it be said that some of the members of the Iron Dan Guards have joined the Jinyi Guards?

But the old man knew so clearly, why did he say it?

Doesn't this clearly tell him that he has placed spies among his elite troops?

Except for the old man's spy inside, Zhu Li really couldn't imagine how the old man could kill the iron gall guard like this!

"Okay, let's just say casually, you are quite good as a brave guard, there is no need to belittle yourself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yue's stunned look, but did not say any more on this issue.

In fact, it was just a bit of a bad taste, and I just wanted to test how Lao Jiu would react after hearing these words?

But it feels quite good to be able to directly suppress Lao Jiu!

Brat, you do things secretly and secretly. Do you really think we don’t know anything?

When we have a showdown with you later, how shocked will you be?

Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look forward to the moment of direct showdown with Zhu Yue!

Presumably the expression on Lao Jiu's face at that time will be quite wonderful, right?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang looked unconcerned, Zhu Yue became more and more suspicious, but no matter how many questions he had in his mind, he couldn't ask them directly!

If he asked, it would mean a direct showdown with the old man!

Let’s wait a little longer and see what the old man’s purpose is!

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang's first round of testing Zhu Yue ended. He also knew the principle of giving up when he was ready. If he pushed Lao Jiu too hard, it might be counterproductive!

The subsequent conversation between father and son finally became much more normal, which also made Concubine Zhou, who was always worried, relieved.

"Your Majesty, the Han Palace has built a temporary palace for you, and I will always serve you!"

Soon, the group arrived at the Han Palace, and Concubine Zhou accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang and introduced them with a smile.

"Didn't we just say that we can just live in Prince Han's Mansion?"

"Why are you setting up a palace?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was somewhat unhappy!

He didn't want the ninth child to follow the example of the second child, Zhu Xi, and start large-scale construction projects after he got rich!

Fortunately, although the Han Palace in front of us looks grand, its scale is much smaller than the Qin Palace in Xi'an!

"Actually, it's just an extra courtyard built by itself, but it's not that big!"

Concubine Zhou quickly explained.

"Well, that's fine. Stop messing around!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

He himself is not the kind of person who is particular about things. For him, it is enough for him to have a small courtyard in the Han Dynasty palace for him to live in!

After all, I am only one person, and there are only two people together with Zhou Guifei, so I only need one bed to sleep at night!

As soon as he entered the Han Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a strong interest in the electric lamps in the Han Palace!

Even though the sun has not yet set, the lights in the palace are still on, mainly to satisfy the old man's curiosity!

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen these gadgets created by Lao Jiu in the simulator. Although he was still a little surprised after seeing them with his own eyes, he didn't make too much fuss!

But Zhu Yue is even more suspicious now!

When did the old man become so capable of accepting new things like this?

"Lao Jiu, where does all this electricity you are talking about come from?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked Zhu Yue at this time.

To put it bluntly, he is more interested in the kind of magic weapon that can generate electricity refined from Zhu Yue!

"This is just a gadget that my son developed in his spare time, but it is still in the research stage and the technology is not yet mature!"

Zhu Yue could only explain with a wry smile.

He always felt that the old man seemed to know something, but he had no evidence!

"Well, you are very good at studying this gadget!"

"We can imagine what it would be like if this kind of electricity could be used everywhere in the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

"It seems that the function of electricity is not just for lighting, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yue and asked with a half-smile.

When Zhu Yue heard this, a huge wave surged in her heart!

Good guy, if the old man doesn’t know something, he won’t believe it!

The key is how did the old man know?

This is not something that can be known by placing some informants around him!

Unless among the group of research talents he has trained, the old man has also arranged for spies early on, but that is basically impossible!

"Electricity has been installed in the Hanwang Mansion and the Business Building, but it also cost a lot of money. It will take a long time to spread it to the public!"

Although he was surprised, Zhu Li did not show it on his face, and still explained to Zhu Yuanzhang calmly.

"Well, let's study it carefully!" "If there is anything you need help from the court, just tell us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and warned.

He also knew that until the Chengwu period, only places like the imperial government and government offices began to use electric lights!

And only the royal palaces, court offices, and some powerful families could afford electricity, because at that time, electricity bills were not as expensive as usual!

There are no restrictions on you as an ordinary citizen, you can also apply!

But the problem is that you can’t afford the price!

Lao Jiu has a good saying, one generation can do one thing!

There are many things that cannot be forced!

"Dinner is coming soon. Dad, take a rest here now. After dinner, if there is anything you want to see, my son will take you to see it!"

At this time, Zhu Yue accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to the pavilion. There was a small pond and rockery next to it. The scenery was pretty good!

"Do you eat here on weekdays?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down in the pavilion and asked with a smile while drinking the tea that Zhu Yue made for him with the imperial tea set.

Although it is already the beginning of spring, it is still relatively cold outside in Hanzhong!

Someone has set up a briquette-burning stove around the pavilion, which has also raised the temperature a lot!

If it wasn’t for eating here, there would never be a need to do this!

"Yes, my son also likes to eat in the open-air pavilion on weekdays. He doesn't like to eat in the house. It's a bit too boring!"

“The main reason is that the air outside is good!”

Zhu Li nodded and explained.

"Well, we think it's pretty good too!"

"If nothing else, your briquettes are really good!"

"It will give the people of Ming Dynasty something to rely on to survive the winter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the burning briquettes next to him and nodded with relief.

"Dad, why did you come to the Northwest this time?"

"My son can also make preparations here, so as not to delay your affairs!"

Zhu Yue asked tentatively to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

So far, he has not found out what the old man’s purpose is!

"Why do you think we came to the northwest?"

"If we say we came here specifically to see you, would you believe it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yue with a half-smile and asked.

Brat, can't you help but test it now?

We're going to whet your appetite, there's no point in showing off your cards early!

"Uh... Dad, please stop joking!"

"You have so many things to do every day, you can't abandon so many things in the court and come to Hanzhong to see your son, right?"

"If you really want to see your son, just write a letter directly, and your son will just go back. How can you come all the way?"

"If you want your son to do something, you can just tell him directly. As long as your son can do it, he will do his best!"

Zhu Li didn't expect that the old man would actually say that. He couldn't react for a moment and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"Why don't you believe the truth?"

"But when we come here this time, we do have a lot of things for you to do. Don't rush yet, just take your time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand noncommittally, but had no intention of continuing on this issue.

Seeing this, Zhu Yue couldn't continue to ask further questions.

But one thing, he is almost sure now, the old man is indeed here for himself!

Just to move the capital is just an excuse!

The good news is that at present, it seems that the old man does not seem to be looking for trouble. To put it bluntly, since the old man understands himself so clearly, if the old man really wants to cause trouble, he should not bring only such a few people. Dare you follow me into the city!

Even if all the imperial guards outside the city are included, it is not enough for Zhu Yue to fight alone!

Basically, we can rule out the possibility that the old man is looking for trouble, so the filial piety must continue to be maintained!

But the more this happened, the more curious Zhu Li became about the old man's purpose!

Not to mention, this time I really let the old man control his psychology!

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!

"Grandpa Huang, dinner will take a while anyway, why don't you go to the martial arts field and watch your grandson give you a set of military boxing?"

Zhu Xifeng ran to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time and invited him excitedly.

"Feng'er, don't be ridiculous!"

Seeing this, Zhu Li frowned and scolded.

Saijia Sutushan on the side was also frightened when she saw it. She didn't expect that her son would be so bold!

Of course, that's also because Saiga Sutushan didn't know what the grandfather and grandson said on the carriage before!

Otherwise she wouldn't be so surprised!

This brat... can really mess around!

Concubine Zhou also frowned!

Fortunately, she found that Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry. On the contrary, he seemed to be in high spirits!

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is still very tolerant of this eldest grandson, which also makes her relieved!

"What is Juntiquan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"It's a boxing technique that my father taught his grandson to practice. It can strengthen the body. And it's also very powerful in fights!"

Zhu Xifeng explained seriously.

"Oh? If that's the case, we really want to see how Da Sun is doing with his military training!"

"Come on, go show me to Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, and regardless of the surprised looks in Zhu Yue's and others' eyes, he let Zhu Xifeng carry him towards the martial arts arena!

Concubine Zhou Guifei is about to be beaten by these two grandsons!

You know, in the palace, the old man usually beats or scolds the princes and grandsons, and his requirements are very strict!

When did you become so amiable?

For example, Zhu Gaoxu of the Yan family, Zhu Jiyi, the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, and Zhu Youxuan, the prince of the Zhou Dynasty, these emperors and grandchildren who studied in Yingtian Mansion, were often beaten severely by the old man on weekdays!

It’s normal for Concubine Zhou to think so!

Because only Zhu Yuanzhang knew it in his heart!

The eldest grandson in front of me is the future Emperor of Qumo, Zhu Xiafeng, the founding emperor of Beida Ming!
