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

Zhu Tan didn't talk too much.

Guo Ying walked up to everyone and gave a light drink.

"What is the spirit of King Lu Wei!"

Five hundred people shouted in unison.

"First, don't be afraid of suffering, and second, don't be afraid of death!"

"louder!"

"First, don't be afraid of suffering, and second, don't be afraid of death!"

This time, in addition to the 500 people, the other 4,500 people also started shouting.

For a while.

The roar shook the sky.

Zhu Di stood in the stands and said with a smile: "What a man who is not afraid of hardship and death! If you have these two things as a soldier, it is enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod, and smiled at Xu Da beside him: "Tiande, this is a good slogan! Even if the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty shout this, it is also appropriate!"

Xu Da smiled and said: "It's concise and to the point, it's deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! Whoever can come up with this slogan must be a great talent!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded.

However, he already guessed who could shout this slogan.

Lao Shi likes to be unconventional the most, and nine times out of ten he is the one who came up with it.

Guo Ying looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay! I will lead you to charge in person! When the two armies meet, the brave one wins!"

Since it is a martial arts exercise, it is natural that you cannot fight with real swords and guns.

Whether it is Lan Yu's personal guards or King Lu's guards, everyone's weapon is just a wooden sword.

This is also to prevent everyone from getting too excited when fighting and killing people.

Of course, using a wooden sword may not result in death.

It's just that the loss will be smaller.

According to the rules, if the wooden sword hits the vital part of the opponent's armor twice, it means death.

If it hits the neck, etc., one hit will result in the player being eliminated.

There were hundreds of people watching to prevent anyone from cheating.

the other side.

Lan Yu snorted coldly at the guards and said, "I won't say any more nonsense. Whoever lies down today should get the hell out of my guards!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone burst into laughter.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the viewing platform, Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers looked at the momentum of Lan Yu's personal guards. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "After all, he is an elite who has been on the battlefield and has seen blood. This momentum is really extraordinary!"

soon.

Under the leadership of Guo Ying and Lan Yu.

Five hundred people from both sides collided violently!
As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, King Lu Wei felt the tremendous pressure from Lan Yu's personal guards!

These people are indeed fierce men who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Although they are holding wooden swords in their hands, they carry a suffocating killing intent.

Amidst the shouts, Lu Wangwei was knocked down several people just as soon as he made contact, and was sent out of the martial arts arena by the people who followed him.

Just as everyone expected.

After Lu Wangwei disembarked, he did not have any time to rest and immediately carried out a heavy march for more than 20 hours.

The physical exertion is terrible.

I only rested for two or three hours while eating.

The status has dropped a lot.

Although their morale is high now and they are trying their best, they are still far behind compared to the Lan Yu personal guards who have been waiting for work for a long time.

What gave Lan Yu's personal guards an even greater advantage was the martial arts of these people.

When they use their swords, they are all extremely vicious, killing people with every move, and there is never any unnecessary movement.

Every move was aimed at the weakest link of King Lu's guard.

Many times, the blue jade guard can accurately cut the neck of the Lu Wangwei sergeant with one sword. Fortunately, it is only a wooden sword. After the sword is cut, although blood will flow freely, it will not kill him. If he encounters a real weapon on the battlefield, he will probably be killed. Now Lu Wangwei has dozens of casualties.

At this time, Lan Yu saw that the battle was going smoothly and could not help laughing.

"Keep rushing for me!"

Lan Yu originally thought that with such a huge advantage at the beginning, Lu Wangwei would soon be unable to withstand the impact of his own side and collapse quickly.

However, what I didn't expect was.

Soon the blue jade guards were caught in a bitter battle.

After experiencing the first wave of attacks from Lan Yu's personal guards, King Lu Wei gradually stabilized the situation!
The blue jade guards suddenly discovered that these guys in front of them were no longer so easily knocked down!

Even when chopping, the opponent can block his attack and launch a fierce counterattack!

First of all, there is the despairing figure of the soldiers of King Lu’s Guards!

These Shandong people, with an average height of about six feet, stand like a wall!

The arms and legs are also much longer than the average Sapphire Guard!
As the saying goes, an inch long is an inch strong.

After the battle, this advantage was amplified a lot.

Secondly, this is what shocked Lan Yu.

These King Lu's guards have experienced such a long time and such heavy consumption, but at this time, their condition is not so bad that they are at the end of their strength, but they still maintain good combat power!
Seeing a King Lu guard being surrounded by three of his own guards, he was able to take away one of his guards with two backhand swords!
What’s even more frightening is that many of Lu Wangwei’s tactics are too shady!

The wooden sword in his hand actually broke when he was slashing his own guard!

This wooden knife is specially made!
Although the toughness and strength are not comparable to iron tools, they are not comparable to ordinary wooden knives!

At least, after cutting off one blow, there is no need for a second blow, because his personal guard has been knocked down to the ground and cannot get up.

Seeing this, Lan Yu couldn't help but become a little anxious.

Originally, he wanted to crush King Lu Wei with absolute advantage.

Even if the victory cannot be achieved with zero casualties, at least it should be an absolute crushing.

Unexpectedly, they only took a slight advantage at the beginning, but now they are starting to fight towards a stalemate.

Lu Wangwei's defense became more and more like an iron wall, making the attack of Lan Yu's personal guards gradually become powerless.

Lan Yu couldn't help but be horrified and inexplicable.

What the hell are these soldiers? Aren't they from the inland guards? How do you train on a daily basis? Why does it seem that this strength and martial proficiency are not at all inferior to those of his personal guards?

In fact, Lan Yu felt that the physical strength of these guys was much better than that of his personal guards.

Even after experiencing such huge exertion, the physical strength displayed by these King Lu guards was still stronger than that of his personal guards!

This is too scary.

Their staying power is too exaggerated!
Lan Yu couldn't even imagine that if these King Lu's guards remained at full state, would his personal guards still have the upper hand at the beginning?
For a time, Lan Yu became more and more unsure. He no longer took the lead in the charge, but frowned at the situation between the two sides, intending to study the tactics seriously.

the other side.

Seeing this scene, Guo Ying was all smiles, everything was as he expected.

Even though Lu Wangwei was at a disadvantage at the beginning, Guo Ying did not panic at all.

He knew that this was just Lu Wangwei's initial incompatibility and inexperience, and he just had to wait for them to adapt.

The amazing quality of the soldiers of King Lu's guard will be reflected in the actual battle situation.

Guo Ying stood in the formation and commanded calmly.

The ability of these Lu Wangwei to maintain their current state is definitely inseparable from their daily training!

Every day, these King Lu's guards underwent extremely sufficient physical training, and the muscles on each body were as if they were carved with knives and axes. Not to mention anything else, just physical strength and strength are definitely far superior to ordinary soldiers.

This has been accumulated over a long period of time and cannot be faked.

What's more, the training intensity of these Lu Wang guards is not low on weekdays. In terms of tactics and martial arts, there may be some gap between them and Lan Yu's personal guards who fought on the battlefield, but it is not big.

The advantages of physical strength and height are enough to make up for this gap.

Moreover, the degree of unity of King Lu's guards is not comparable to that of Lan Yu's personal guards.

To put it bluntly, the people in Lan Yu's bodyguard are all connected by interests.

Even because Lan Yu recognized them as adopted sons, they cooperated very well.

But he still couldn't cooperate like Lu Wangwei.

For example, there will be the tall Lu Wangwei standing in front, who will be slashed by several blue jade guards, giving the comrades behind him a chance to attack.

Although he was eliminated, the Lan Yu guards behind also lost the opportunity and were sent away by the people behind King Lu Guard!

At this time, the entire battle situation has gradually been controlled by Lan Yu's personal guards, and both sides have a half advantage.

On the martial arts stage.

Everyone watching the battle was shocked by Lu Wangwei's performance.

Xu Da said with shock on his face: "This Lu Wangwei is so good at fighting, it's really unimaginable!"

King Yan Zhu Di was fascinated by this, his eyes widened, and he said in shock: "That's it, after sitting on the boat for so long, and marching for three hundred miles without even taking a breath, he immediately followed Lan Yu's bodyguard Fighting state!
If they had a good rest, how powerful they would be, it was simply terrifying! "

As he spoke, Zhu Di said enviously: "If these powerful soldiers in the world were given to me as commander, wouldn't they be able to chase the Tatars in Mobei?"

Zhu Neng gave a dry laugh and said: "Your Highness, I heard that these King Lu's guards, including soldiers and generals, only have a monthly salary of 20,000 taels of silver. Even if we sell Prince Yan's Mansion, we can't afford it."

When Zhu Di heard this, he frowned and said to Zhu Neng: "Zhu Neng, come here."

Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment and walked slowly to Zhu Di.

"I don't know what your highness is looking for."

Zhu Di kicked him hard.

"I am here to say a few words of emotion, do you need to spoil your fun? I know that I am poor, right? Damn it! I really want to kick you to death, get out!"

Zhu Neng was kicked and looked a little embarrassed.

People around looked at it and snickered.

Everyone knew that this must be the confidant of His Highness King Yan. If he were an ordinary person, Zhu Di would probably kill him with a knife.

Zhu Fang looked a little ugly as he watched Lu Wangwei and Lan Yu's personal guards fight back and forth.

"These soldiers have some abilities due to their strong bodies, but this is a martial arts exercise. If they actually go to the battlefield, I don't know what it will be like."

As soon as Zhu Xi finished speaking, Jin Wang Zhu Fan looked at him and said with a half-smile: "Second brother, you are not familiar with the art of war, so of course you don't know. It is really rare for these Lu Wang guards to perform like this! If they get to the battlefield, I'm afraid someone will They are all elites who can fight one against a hundred!"

Zhu Feng said angrily: "Lao San! How dare you mock me for not knowing the art of war?"

Zhu Fan smiled and said: "Does the second brother know how to lead troops to fight? Xu does. I heard that you killed many people in Xifan and harmed hundreds of boys and girls. This was all done by leading soldiers. The soldiers did it, so there shouldn’t be any soldiers lost, right? The second brother’s record is pretty good.”

Zhu Ping was even more angry when he heard this.

It's because he acted recklessly in Xi'an. His concubine Deng is still imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

These things are his sins.

Unexpectedly, Lao San would expose him in front of everyone.

"Third brother! Are you looking for trouble with me today? Bastard!"

Zhu Fan wanted to ridicule Zhu Xi, but suddenly found that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes drifted towards him and Zhu Xi, and his face changed instantly.

Silent.

Zhu Xi also noticed Lao Zhu's eyes and stopped talking.

not far away.

Qi King Zhu Shu quietly watched Lu Wangwei and Lan Yu's personal guards fighting in a group on the battlefield.

a year.

Zhu Shu's temperament became much more restrained, but the killing intent in his body became much thicker.

Bloodlust and madness flashed in his eyes from time to time.

This year.

Zhu Shu guarded Kaiping Guard, just as Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

In addition to killing Tatars, it is to kill Tatars.

Even the killing made Zhu Di feel confused.

Because Kaiping Weiben is in the north of Beiping.

The Mongols in this direction no longer dare to spy on the south.

They would rather take a detour from Shanxi than mess with this evil spirit.

At this time, Zhu Shu looked at the battlefield and was stunned for a long time.

He suddenly said to the King of Zhou Zhu Zhu next to him: "I really don't know how this soldier, Lao Shi, was trained. This bloody courage is even more ferocious than the soldiers who followed me on the battlefield!"

King Zhu Zhu of Zhou shook his head and said: "I don't know either! However, I am not surprised by what Lao Shi can do! I am more interested in the muskets and artillery equipped by his Lu Wangwei. Look at these things They all sound very strange. I have never seen them before, so I don’t know how powerful they are.”

Zhu Shu shook his head and said boredly: "It's just fancy skills, real men should still fight like this on the battlefield!"

not far away.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fight between Lu Wangwei and Lan Yu's personal guards in front of him, and his expression was full of shock.

original.

He thought that Zhu Tan wanted to find a fig leaf for his failure, so he made Lu Wangwei sleepless and rushed to Beiping Mansion day and night, eager to practice martial arts with Lan Yu's bodyguard.

Even if you lose then, it won’t be so embarrassing.

But he didn't expect that Lu Wangwei was actually so powerful!
Even with such a huge consumption, he was not at a disadvantage in the fight with Lan Yu's personal guards, but was gradually turning the situation around!
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and said to Wen Xiangqing, Minister of the Ministry of War: "Wen Aiqing, the matter is now over, there is no need to talk about winning or losing, right?"

Hearing this, Wen Xiangqing turned around and said respectfully: "I am sincerely convinced by His Royal Highness King Lu! After thinking about it, I am too conservative. I never thought that His Highness King Lu's reform and innovation can actually make the inland guard station have such combat power! I really surrender! I ask your Majesty to remove me from the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War to show that I am willing to accept defeat!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "It's not enough to just admit defeat! How did King Lu do it? Do you want to learn it?"

When Wen Xiangqing heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I'm a dull man."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Don't make excuses. Wen Xiangqing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, listens to the order! I will remove you from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, and you will be temporarily replaced by the Minister of War with the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War. When the martial arts performance is over, you must ask King Lu in detail to train the soldiers." Law, and the reform of the military system!”

When Wen Xiangqing heard this, he didn't resist.

In fact, he himself was very interested in Lu Wangwei.

He had been working as a local official in Shanxi before, and he still knew a lot about the guardsmen. Even the guardsmen close to Jiubian would have a rapid decline in combat effectiveness if they did not fight for a year or two.
After becoming the Minister of the Ministry of War, I have a deeper understanding of the Inland Guards soldiers. It is considered good that those soldiers can have the combat power of the Jiubian Guards soldiers.

It is simply unbelievable that Lu Wangwei can show such fighting power.

Now His Majesty does not blame him too much. Instead, he gives him a chance to learn and make corrections. He is just relieved of the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, which is extremely merciful.

He immediately bowed and accepted the order: "My lord, I obey the order!"

Wei Guogong Xu Da stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is so clear about rewards and punishments, he is indeed the emperor of the Holy Tomorrow!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Anyway, it was Wen Xiangqing who came to the door. If we didn't make this bet, nothing would happen. Now, I'm demoted to one level and still have to continue to be the Minister of the Ministry of War! Haha. That's fine. We save money! The Minister of War requires 61 shi of salary a month, but the minister only needs to pay him 35 shi! We really hope that these people will make a bet with us and take the initiative to reduce their salary!"

Xu Da had a wry smile on his face.

Still dropping?

This dynasty is already the most harsh on officials in all dynasties.
If it is lowered again, I'm afraid no one will be an official.

The two were chatting.

On the martial arts field.

Lan Yu shouted loudly.

All the guards mobilized together, and the battlefield situation suddenly changed! (End of chapter)
