Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 461 The Elites of Yan Fan
  The day before New Year's Eve.

The weather is still cold, with the north wind blowing and blowing snow all over the sky.

But the soldiers in the capital camp were full of enthusiasm. Today was the day for the princes and grandsons to conduct military training and review, so there was another excitement to watch.

It was rare for Zhu Yuanzhang not to go to court today. When the sun came out and the weather turned warm, he led a group of Jinyi guards and Jinwu avant-gardes to protect him, and went out of the city to the capital camp, preparing to watch the soldiers review and see the strength of the soldiers of the Ming prince and grandson. .

The Beijing camp had already cleared several school grounds, and the soldiers in the camp gathered around the grounds to watch.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a high platform. Considering the cold north wind, Zhu Xuan also made a wooden wall with wooden boards to block the wind. He also asked people to prepare tiger skin coats, fearing that the emperor would catch a cold.

All the princes and grandsons who had personal guards in the fiefdom came, and all the personal guards were assembled.

They also didn't feel cold, but were very excited, because it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show off in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

The prince, who had no bodyguards, was sitting next to Lao Zhu on the high platform.

Zhu Xuan's bodyguards had already assembled Li Niu and were waiting in the audience. He did not repeatedly warn the soldiers below like the other emperor's uncles, but stayed with the emperor's grandfather.

Not only the princes and grandsons came to watch, but some princesses and consorts also came.

Except for some people from the Ministry of War, most of the people who came were relatives of the old Zhu family, which was considered a family reunion.

"Third brother, fourth brother."

At this time, Zhu Xuan saw Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi walking up to the high platform, greeted them, and asked curiously: "Why are you the only one, eldest brother?"

"Little brother."

Zhu Yunxu gave people the impression that he was indeed much more mature. After saying hello, he led his younger brother to Zhu Yuanzhang, bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the emperor, uncles and cousins..."

The two brothers saluted all the elders present.

"Okay, you're welcome."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to sit down and asked, "Where is Yunwen?"

Zhu Yunxuan was still a little afraid of Grandpa Huang. He muttered in his heart and whispered in an uneasy tone: "Back to Grandpa Huang, my eldest brother said he was not feeling well and could not come."

Being unwell and unable to come is actually just an excuse.

Zhu Xuan understood as soon as he heard that Zhu Yunwen didn't want to come.

Maybe there are a lot of people here that he doesn't want to see.

Maybe Grandpa Huang didn't take him with him on the train day, and now he is very angry and unhappy.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened slightly.

Whatever Zhu Xuan can think of, of course he can too.

That eldest grandson didn't even give him any face. He could send someone to invite him regardless of previous suspicions, but he still refused to come.

Zhu Yunzhen saw that Grandpa Huang seemed to be angry, and secretly screamed.

Big brother is going to kill them.

However, when he noticed that Zhu Yunzhen and Zhu Yunxi looked frightened and panicked in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger disappeared. I don't know when his grandson started to fear him, just like he was afraid of tigers. As the emperor's grandfather, he felt that he was a failure. , so there is nothing to blame.

"Yunqi, arrange for the imperial doctor to check on Yunwen."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with concern on his face, and then said: "Yunxi, Yunxi, you don't have to be reserved. It seems that we haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "The last time Grandpa Huang met us was on New Year's Eve last year during the family reunion dinner."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt choked in his heart.

In the past, I was dissatisfied with the Lu family, hated the house and the crow, and even ignored my own grandson.

Now I am reminded by my grandson that I have indeed not cared about them for a long time.

"Grandpa Huang was wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of guilt and he said softly: "It's us who have neglected you. Grandpa Huang is sorry for you."

Zhu Yunxuan said quickly: "Grandpa Huang is the lord of the Ming Dynasty. He has to face the whole world. We don't dare to think so if we are not sorry."

Hearing that he was still making excuses for himself, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, took their hands and said, "You are sitting next to us. If you have anything you want to say to us, just ask, you know?"

Zhu Yunzhen originally wanted to plead for his eldest brother, but after thinking about it in the end, he was afraid that it would be counterproductive, so he decided not to do it.

"My grandson knows."

Zhu Yunxuan nodded and said, "Is it cold, Grandpa Emperor? My grandson will give you some clothes." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "We're not cold, so you can wear them. The review is about to begin. You should also take a closer look later. Your uncle, uncle How strong is our brother's army?"

Generally speaking, the stronger the military force of the vassal king, the more worried the court will be.

However, Lao Zhu was not worried about the power of the vassal king at all. In his ideal world, brothers fought, father and son fought in battle, and believed that his family could live in harmony and defend the Ming Dynasty together.

I had such a wonderful imagination about my old Zhu family.

Zhu Xuan asked: "Grandpa Huang, can you announce the start?"

"Then let's get started!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said expectantly.

The other princes and grandsons also looked at the school grounds expectantly.

It was a rare opportunity for Ming Dynasty to review soldiers.

Even though the weather is cold, they feel warm all over.

"start!"

Zhu Xuan picked up the flag and waved it.

dong dong dong...

Huge war drums were beaten on the school grounds.

The beating of the drums was so violent that the falling snowflakes trembled for a long time.

The sound spread far away, bringing waves of blood in this icy and snowy environment.

The soldiers were already excited.

"In order of eldest and youngest, the fourth soldier's soldiers go out first."

Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order.

After the princes waiting for the review received the order, Zhu Di gave Zhang Fu a few instructions, and then sounded the war drums of his own phalanx. A thousand soldiers walked out of the military formation neatly and walked to the center of the school field.

King Yan's team was neat and orderly, and their fighting spirit was high.

First they practiced the walking phalanx, and then they practiced formation formation and so on.

Zhang Fu, in particular, showed off his strong horsemanship skills, riding and shooting at the same time. His arrows were all missed, and he shot down more than ten archery targets in a row.

After drawing the bow more than ten times in a row, he could still maintain his accuracy so well, and his arms were not sore or numb. Many generals in the Beijing camp, including Lan Yu, took a high look and felt that Zhang Fu was definitely a general, but it was a pity that he was a subordinate of Zhu Di. General, there is no way to dig him out.

After Zhang Fu's personal performance was completed, the soldiers below also began to demonstrate their team's ability to kill enemies.

After a round of drills, Zhang Fu led his troops to retreat.

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands vigorously.

Yan Fan's soldiers are indeed very strong, especially the leader Zhang Fu. Such strong horseback skills are extremely beneficial in grassland battles. In addition, with his perfect cavalry archery skills, he can kill many generals in an instant.

"It's not for nothing that the fourth child can beat the Tatars and run around."

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted excitedly: "Reward the Fourth Brother greatly, and the one who leads the army is called..."

Zhu Gaochi reminded from the side: "Grandpa Huihuang, his name is Zhang Fu."

"Reward Zhang Fu again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di walked out of the school grounds, led Zhang Fu and others, and knelt down to receive the reward.

A thousand soldiers shouted together.

However, the spanked butt was not healed yet, and it was still so painful that Zhu Di was covered in cold sweat when he knelt down.

You can get a big reward, no matter how painful it is, it's worth it.
