King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

When Lan Yu heard Zhu Tan's words, she didn't care at all about the dissatisfaction in Zhu Tan's tone.

Maybe he's used to it too.

There are many people in the world who are dissatisfied with him, Marquis Yongchang, and Zhu Tan is afraid that he will still be at the back.

Lan Yu said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Lu, among the soldiers in this world, you still have to judge them based on their combat prowess!
For example, the most inferior ones are probably the soldiers from the Interior Guard!

In fact, it's not that the guardsmen are not good, it's just that these guardsmen who are raised in the interior are rarely exposed to war. They only have one month of training every year. The rest of the time they are a group of farmers with hoes, so what's the point of talking about combat effectiveness? What can be said?
Above the inland guards, there are the guards near the nine sides.

Those soldiers are deployed to the front line every now and then. They don't have much time to farm every year, but they have a lot of time to fight!

Most people have seen blood. These soldiers are very courageous in fighting. Their combat power is far superior to that of the soldiers from the Inner Guards.

As for the soldiers above, the more powerful ones are the frontier troops on the nine sides. These people have been fighting against the Tatars for many years. How can there be a year without death?

The border soldiers who have experienced life and death are naturally not comparable to those Taiping young masters who have been in peace for a long time.

The most powerful one is the Beijing Army!

These soldiers are all under His Majesty's nose, and they never slack off in their daily training. In every battle, the Beijing army takes the lead, so there is no doubt about their combat power!
And the strongest people in the world are the personal guards of the major commanders!
Haha, these soldiers are not many in number, but once they arrive on the battlefield, they are used as the sharpest knives of the army!
They are often the leaders and vanguards of various armies.

A battle that ordinary people cannot win, they will almost never lose if they take action! "

Everyone didn't have any objections when they heard Lan Yu's words.

In fact, what Lan Yu said is almost universally recognized by the military.

After more than ten years of peace, the combat effectiveness of the inland guardsmen has indeed begun to decline, even though Zhu Yuanzhang still issues an imperial edict every year requiring drills and training in various places.

But most of the time, these soldiers are no different from farmers. In addition, the guards officers in some places are even more audacious. They are corrupt, bend the law, exploit and squeeze these guards soldiers, resulting in many soldiers being even more disorganized and undisciplined. , as for the combat power, it is even more impossible to talk about.

Therefore, these veterans also have a headache. When the guard soldiers come to the battlefield, they must be retrained before they can be sent to the front line.

Otherwise, if the Mongolian cavalry charges, the army will be easily dispersed!

Therefore, there is no problem for Lan Yu to rank these guard soldiers at the end.

As for the next ranking, there is basically no problem.

In short, the principle of Sapphire is that the closer it is to the battlefield and the border, the stronger its combat power will be.

Everyone agrees on this.

just.

If arranged in this way, Zhu Tan's face will not look good.

After all, his King Lu Guards were out-and-out Inland Guard soldiers.

Zhu Tan looked at Lan Yu with a smile.

"Marquis Yongchang, what kind of army do you think my King Lu's guards are?"

Lan Yu coughed dryly.

Is this King Lu stupid?
You have made it so obvious, don't you have an idea of ​​what your army looks like?

Could it be that Shandong is on the nine sides?

I really don’t know what to say!
Lan Yu laughed dryly and said, "Your Highness, Prince Lu, I speak outright. If I offend you, don't take it to heart."

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard this.

Just saying this has offended people a lot.

Zhu Tan's expression did not change and he said calmly: "Marquis Yongchang just said it's okay, I am very generous."

Hear this.

Xu Da, Zhu Di and other people who knew Zhu Tan couldn't help but twitch their eyelids.

Although Zhu Tan rarely takes action, those who oppose Zhu Tan will basically not end well!

that's all.
You dare to say that you are generous.
Lan Yu said with a smile: "I've also heard that you changed the military system in the vassal territory and changed the guard system into a recruitment system. You also put in a lot of effort. Even now, the person who is commanding King Lu's guard is actually Wudinghou Guo Ying!

However, His Royal Highness King Lu, I still have to tell you that although the investment in the recruitment system is not small, the results may not be great!

There is no use spending money on raising this soldier. He must be sharpened on the battlefield with real swords and guns before he can become an elite soldier!

No matter how you train them in the rear, these soldiers have never seen blood. In my eyes, they are still soldiers of the Inland Guard!
At most, they are slightly stronger than other guard soldiers. After all, they don't have to farm all day long and can still receive more or less experience!

I estimate that their combat power is still inferior to that of the guardsmen near Jiubian.

After all, the guardsmen near Jiubian have too many combat opportunities throughout the year!

Everyone crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Just training and spending money can't train them to be elites like them! "

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Yongchang Hou, this is too much! According to you, my tenth brother's Lu Wangwei is just the last first-rate soldier?"

Lan Yu said indifferently: "His Royal Highness King Lu wanted to ask me, so I told him the truth."

"Humph?"

Zhu Di snorted heavily.

"You have never seen them, let alone taken them with you, how do you know! Do you think you are the only one in the world who can fight?"

Lan Yu sneered: "With several princes here, I naturally dare not claim to be the best in the world!

But except for a few princes, who else in the entire Ming Dynasty can fight better than me? "

The words fell.

Naturally, there is a sense of arrogance.

In fact.

In Lan Yu's heart, apart from a few people such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Li Wenzhong, even Song Guogong Feng Sheng and Ying Guogong Fu Youde were not convinced.

The three princes listened, but they couldn't say anything.

After all, Lan Yu really knows how to fight, and he is a very good fighter.

Zhu Di snorted lightly.

To be honest, he admired Lan Yu very much.

After all, Sapphire's military achievements are shining brightly, and it makes people feel reassured when fighting.

As long as he takes action, he is almost invincible and invincible.

However, Zhu Di was not convinced by Lan Yu.

He felt that when it came to fighting, how could he, Xu Da's disciple, lose to Chang Yuchun's disciple?
Zhu Di hummed: "That's not necessarily the case! This time in the Northern Expedition, I want to see what Marquis Yongchang is capable of!
I have heard that many people are saying that Marquis Yongchang has been looking forward to being granted the title of Duke!

I am worried about Marquis Yongchang, lest we end up in vain again!

I have to ask my eldest brother to get the position of Duke. "

Lan Yu's face suddenly turned red when she heard this!
This is so heartbreaking!

It slanders him too much!

To be honest, Lan Yu has never relied on anyone for her achievements in this life!
When he first worked under Chang Yuchun, Chang Yuchun repeatedly recommended his talented brother-in-law to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Helpless, although Lan Yu grew up very quickly, after all, his status was too low at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and he had no achievements or achievements.

What's more, there were too many talented generals in that era, not to mention those famous generals who later became marquises.

Just say that those who died early due to various reasons, such as Zhu Liangzu, Hua Lun and others, are not inferior to Lan Yu in ability.

Now Zhu Di said that Lan Yu asked Prince Zhu Biao to get the position of Duke. Isn't this an irony that he has no ability and relies on nepotism?

Lan Yu cannot accept this at all!

Lan Yu said angrily: "Your Highness, King Yan, I, Lan Yu, have crawled out of the dead in my life! I can only get to where I am today, all by myself!"

Unlike you, I have a good father!
You can be a prince and a nobleman from birth, you can command thousands of armies and be reused!
I was just a pawn in King Kaiping's account back then!
At that time, every day I was thinking about whether I could come out of the battlefield alive!
How long has it been since the white knife went in and the red knife came out?
Naturally, I can’t compare to His Highness the King of Yan, who has thin skin and tender flesh, with all the injuries I’ve suffered from life and death! "

The words fell.

Zhu Di also had an angry look on his face.

He said with a dark face: "Who do you think has thin skin and tender flesh?" Lan Yu snorted: "Who knows who has thin skin and tender flesh!"

Zhu Di said angrily: "Are you mocking me for being a showman? I told you that I went to Mobei with the Duke of Wei when I was less than 20 years old! In these years, I also led the army alone into Mobei to pursue the Yuan army!

In times of danger, I am no less worthy than you, Marquis Yongchang!
Do you dare to look down on me? "

Lan Yu sneered.

"Don't dare! Your Highness is so noble, how can he be compared to me who comes from a poor background?"

Speaking of which.

The princes could not stand it any longer.

If we continue talking, I'm afraid there will be a quarrel.

Fu Youde smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, Marquis Yongchang, please stop saying a few words! Compared with us old guys, you are the future of the Ming Dynasty! The future safety of the Ming Dynasty still has to fall on you! Maybe there will be more in the future. We want to work together, so why are we arguing like this now?”

Feng Sheng also helped to smooth things over and said: "What Duke Ying said is true! Your Majesty is in Peiping now. You are making too much trouble. Be careful that His Majesty knows!"

The army is about to set off for the Northern Expedition. No matter His Highness King Yan or Marquis Yongchang, I am afraid that they will have to lead the troops. Not to mention cooperation in the future, this time they may have to cooperate on the battlefield! Don't have any conflicts at this juncture. "

Lan Yu snorted coldly: "I didn't say anything outrageous, I was just discussing the matter!"

Zhu Di said coldly: "I just can't stand you! You insist on talking nonsense here about something I have never seen before! What's so great about winning a few battles? If I go on an expedition like you, I may not be as good as you. Poor job!"

Lan Yu said angrily: "Then let's see the real results on the battlefield and compete to see who is stronger!"

Zhu Di sneered and said: "Competition is a competition! I will accompany you at any time!"

While talking.

Zhu Di also felt angry.

Originally, because of his thoughts about the throne and the crown prince, he was suppressed and had nowhere to release himself, which made Zhu Di very depressed.

Now, seeing Lan Yu provoking herself, she became even more angry.

"How about I take a look at Marquis Yongchang's boxing and kicking skills now?"

Lan Yu was stunned when he heard this.

This is going to be a fight!

Am I still afraid of you?

Just fight!
For a moment, Lan Yu also got excited.

He sneered and said: "Your Highness, King Yan, wants to fight? Then give it a try!"

The words fell.

Zhu Di is about to rush forward!

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde were both stunned.

Why does this get more powerful the more you persuade me?
suddenly.

A sharp shout sounded.

"His Royal Highness King Yan! How dignified are you!"

The words fell.

Zhu Di stopped in place, not daring to move any further.

But it was Xu Da who got angry.

He looked at Zhu Di, frowned and said: "A little quarrel, but you don't even care about the prince's decency?"

Although Xu Da's voice was cold and stern, it also conveyed an unquestionable majesty.

He continued: "Generals are led by forbearance! Today you are about to take action because of a little quarrel. If you encounter setbacks on the battlefield in the future, will you be so impatient?"

Zhu Di lowered his head. Although he was dissatisfied, he was still a little in awe when facing Xu Da.

Xu Da said sternly again: "You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, don't you even have the most basic forbearance and patience? If you can't bear this little thing, how can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading troops to fight?

In the future, if the Mongolian soldiers randomly provoke you on the grassland, will you be ambushed?

In this case, you should not participate in the Northern Expedition this time!

Lest the time comes, it’s a small matter to lose face, but a big deal to lose one’s life! "

Xu Da turned around and said: "What's more, you are a dignified vassal king after all, how can you speak and act without any regard for the royal dignity?

If His Majesty finds out, there is no need to punish you!

It really makes the royal family look good!

The dignified vassal king actually wanted to fight like a little gangster with a marquis!
snort! "

Zhu Di couldn't even lift his head after being scolded.

the other side.

Although Xu Da was scolding Zhu Di, his words contained dissatisfaction with Lan Yu.

Although Lan Yu has always been arrogant and unconvinced by anyone, he has always been convinced by Xu Da.

Over the years, Xu Da fought in the south and north, and it was he who finally led the army to capture Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. He also made many northern expeditions, and it was he who withstood Wang Baobao's counterattack.

He even surpassed Li Shanchang, who once served as Zuo Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Regardless of military merit, personality or reputation, he is the absolute number one in the Ming Dynasty!
So Lan Yu also lowered his head at this time, not daring to express his anger, for fear that Xu Da would scold him.

Xu Da frowned and looked at Zhu Di.

"Now I wonder if you have such a big temper because you don't treat Miaoyun very well on weekdays?
You shouldn't be angry, are you so impatient with Miaoyun?
snort! If so, then I would like to take this opportunity to take Miaoyun back to the sky! "

When Zhu Di heard this, he became anxious!

He immediately cried out: "Father-in-law Taishan! You have wronged me! Although I am impatient and have a bad temper, I am devoted to Miaoyun! What's more, Miaoyun's temper is not that good. I ate a bear I don’t dare to get angry with him even if I’m too timid. It’s usually a bad thing to say, but I suffered a lot.”

"shut up!"

Xu Da's face turned red.

Why does Zhu Di speak without any regard for face?
You are a prince, and if you are known as a henpecker, how will that be disrespectful to you?

What would your Majesty think of the Xu family if he heard this?

However, Xu Da also suffered from Xu Miaoyun's temper when she was in her boudoir. He naturally knew what was going on, but he couldn't let Zhu Di talk anymore.

When Lan Yu and others heard Zhu Di's words, they also struggled to hold back their laughter.

No wonder Zhu Di, the powerful vassal king, gave birth to seven children who were all born to the princess.

It has long been heard that Zhu Di is afraid of guilt, but now it seems to be true.

When Zhu Di saw everyone smiling, he naturally knew that he had made a mistake. He couldn't help but blush, and glared at Lan Yu angrily.

If Xu Da hadn't stopped him here, Lan Yu's blood would really have splattered on the spot.

Although Lan Yu provoked Zhu Tan.

But he himself didn't feel much.

On the contrary, it was so interesting to watch these historical celebrities bickering here that I almost moved a bench to eat peanuts and melon seeds.

suddenly.

A eunuch's voice sounded.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

The words fell.

Everyone was shocked!
Imperial decree? (End of chapter)
