Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 127 Sending off the Army (2)

"The prince starts driving!"

Outside the Chunhe Palace, following the commander of the Imperial City Guards, the Commander of the Habayashi Guards made Zheng Guogong Chang Mao a cry.

Hundreds of Habayashi guards composed of noble children got on their horses, and at the same time the prince Zhu Biao led the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying out of the palace.

The sun outside is very bright.

Especially the rays of light reflected from the armor and helmet made Zhu Xiongying almost unable to open his eyes.

The Imperial Guards of the Habayashi Guards in front of them all wore elaborately crafted armor with intricate patterns, and their horses were also of a pure color. They really looked like dragons and horses like tigers.

"Your Highness, be careful, step on the back of your servant!"

Zhu Biao's frame was a bit high, so Zhen Yiyi knelt in front of Zhu Xiongying and used his back as a step.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao didn't speak, but just looked at Zhu Xiongying.

"No, come alone!" Zhu Xiongying didn't step on the eunuch's back, but took the handle of the carriage, kicked it hard, and got up steadily.

Only then did Zhu Biao nod his head, then turned around and ordered, "Let's go!"

The crisp sound of horseshoes and the rutting of carriages resounded in the Forbidden City.

Along the way, no matter whether they were officials or palace people, they all stood with their hands down.

Zhu Xiongying opened the curtain, and inadvertently saw the old man standing under a tree in the distance, looking at this side with a smile.

"Grandfather!" Zhu Xiongying smiled and waved his hands.

The other side seemed to hear it, and responded with a smile.

~~~
Gradually, the carriage drove out of the imperial city and passed through Chang'an Avenue.

The crown prince went out of the palace, and the road was quiet and empty. Except for the guards, there were no ordinary people in sight.

"Father, is Ying Guogong going to Liaodong this time?" Zhu Xiongying asked in the carriage.

Zhu Biao was leaning on the soft couch, holding a heater in his hands. His body was a little puffy, but he was very afraid of the cold.

"And Duke Wei!"

Xu Da is going too?

Zhu Xiongying said in his heart, "You also said, since it's not a big war, why do you want both dukes to go at the same time?"

"Princess Wei is in charge of training troops, preparing troops and building fortresses, while Duke Ying is in charge of patrolling the fortresses!" Zhu Biao said with a smile, "The latter will return as soon as he goes, but the former will stay in Beiping for a few years!"

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed, "Your grandpa is worried about your fourth uncle, so he specially asked Duke Wei to take him and let him know how to fight!"

At this time, Zhu Di was still very young, and he was not the one and only Emperor on Horseback.

After all, no one is born to fight.There is only one way to become a famous general, and that is to keep killing.

"Wei Guogong is fourth uncle's father-in-law!" Zhu Xiongying smiled and said a word seemingly casually.

"You bastard!" Zhu Biao angrily tapped the top of Zhu Xiongying's head, "You always speak in a strange way!"

"My son is right!" Zhu Xiongying rubbed his head, feeling aggrieved.

The two of the Zhu family have a lot of hobbies.

Grandpa likes to pick chickens to eat, and son likes to flick people's heads.

"Wei Guogong is a steady and open-minded person. Your grandpa and I are very trustworthy!" Zhu Biao said, "When you grow up, you should be extra generous to an old official like Wei Guogong!"

"My son knows!" Zhu Xiongying agreed and looked out the window.

Xu Da's son Xu Huizu was among the Habayashi guards formed by the sons of Xungui.

He is riding a maroon war horse, which is extraordinarily heroic and extraordinary.

~~
If you go west from the capital, you can see the army barracks in Liaodong this time.

The banners stand in endless stretches, and the main camp is dense.

In sight, dozens of knights came on horseback.

"Minister Xu Da, see the prince!" The veteran Xu Da got off his horse and knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Biao's carriage.

"Wei Guogong doesn't need to be polite!" Zhu Biao laughed and got out of the carriage, quickly helped him up with his own hands, and said with a low laugh, "You are not above the court, you are still in armor, why should you be like this!"

"Your Highness is a king, and a minister is a minister, and etiquette cannot be broken!" Xu Da insisted.

After saying that, he immediately bowed his head to Zhu Xiongying, "My lord, please see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!"

Zhu Xiongying turned sideways slightly, and said with a smile, "Father doesn't accept your courtesy, how can a child alone dare to accept it?"

Xu Da smiled, "I come to welcome the crown prince and His Highness into the camp!"

"Okay!" Zhu Biao said with a smile, "Today I came alone, and I came to send off my Daming tiger!"

~~~
Entering the barracks, a murderous atmosphere rushed over.Among the thousands of troops and horses, there was not even the slightest noise except for the roaring atmosphere that was blown out by the wind.

Xu Dazhi's army was rigorous and upright, and his troops were used steadily and vigorously.

The old man often said that Xu Tiande's military stability is the number one in the country.

In terms of meritorious deeds in the field, although he is not as dazzling as Chang Yuchun, but in the management and training of the army, there is no one in the country that surpasses his expectations.Moreover, he is old-fashioned and simple, unpretentious, no love for women, nothing for wealth, and integrity is flawless.

Therefore, the prestige in the army is extremely high.

And he is not only capable of martial arts, but also literary.The old man often praised Xu Da for his ability to be a general and a prime minister, and he can be called the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty.

But behind all this is Xu Da's ruthlessness.

The hardships and dangers involved in the growth of a farmer into a famous general at that time are beyond human experience.

In every battle, Xu Da held a big gun and stood in front of the army, not retreating half a step.

Whenever the battle is dangerous, it is Xu Da who leads his own guards and fights with his life.

"Good!" When reviewing the army, Zhu Biao praised again, "Wei Guogong ruled the army, and he is no less than the first in the country!"

"Don't dare to be a prince!" Xu Da's face was simple and calm.

"turn right!"

Suddenly, the officer shouted, and tens of thousands of athletes, led by the first team, turned half-turned in unison.

Zhu Biao only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and heard the roar of countless footsteps in his ears.The tens of thousands of troops standing upright have already turned around.

"How did it turn around so neatly?" Zhu Biao laughed, "Although I have not been in the army for a long time, I also know that so tens of thousands of people are like one person, it is like a fantasy!"

"I would like to thank His Highness the Emperor Taisun for this matter!" Xu Da smiled slightly, "I was waiting in the palace that day and saw that His Highness used this kind of military method to train the little eunuchs, and then trained the honorable children. My heart was moved, so I used the military method to train the eunuchs. middle."

"In the past, no matter what the military discipline was, once the army started, it was inevitable that some people would not be able to take care of each other, and it would be a mess!"

"After using this method, the military discipline and military capacity will be the same as that of thousands of people. Only orders are needed, and the soldiers will act as they want without the use of semaphore and ancient music!"

As he said that, Xu Da looked at Zhu Xiongying, continued to laugh and said, "His Royal Highness is a genius in heaven, and it is the blessing of Ming Dynasty!"

Although Zhu Xiongying tried his best to control his heart, there was still a bit of complacency on his face.

"What does he know as a child? In the final analysis, it is Wei Guogong and others who can see the torch with their eyes. Only by training well can we get twice the result with half the effort!" Zhu Biao said.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying felt all complacent.

What Zhu Biao said is very true, he just showed some cleverness.In the end, it is these veterans who have fought for the country all their lives.

Immediately, he said modestly, "What my father taught me is that Wei Guogong doesn't have to praise Gu. Even if there are tens of thousands of Gu, Gu can't do this!"

This time Xu Da was a little surprised, but seeing the emperor's grandson so calm, his evaluation of the emperor's grandson was a little higher in his heart.

Among the reviewing armies, Zhu Biao entered the army tent.

In Xu Da's handsome tent, the furnishings are simple, except for the weapons, it is huge, full of marked maps.

"Let's go to Beiping now, you and the fourth son-in-law join hands, Liaodong Wuyou also!" Zhu Biao smiled while looking at the map.

"Cut!" Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying cursed in his heart.

Just now I told myself how mature Xu Da was, how he could be trusted.Now let's start talking, otherwise why would you say the four words Weng and son-in-law?
Xu Dasu said, "National affairs come first, I don't dare to have feelings for my son-in-law!"

"Why are you so careful, and there are no outsiders!" Zhu Biao laughed.

"Actually, I think that..." Xu Da hesitated, and spoke slowly.

"What do you think?" Zhu Biao asked.

Xu Da smiled slightly, "I also said this to the emperor a few days ago. Now that King Yan is commanding the army in the north and stationed at the frontier, it stands to reason that I should avoid it!"

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Zhu Biao said with a wry smile, "Where do we have to avoid it?"

"The King of Yan is brave and handsome by nature, and I can't teach him anything." Xu Da thought about it, "Furthermore," he said, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "The ministers and others have repeatedly threatened the King of Yan to fight. The prestige in the army has greatly increased, and if things go on like this, it is very "

"Not the blessing of the country!"
