Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 48 Review

The winter wind is very cold, blowing on the face like a knife.

It seemed that he saw his grandson's little face flushed by the wind. Zhu Yuanzhang on the horseback used a big hand to cover Zhu Xiongying's little face, only two eyes were exposed.

"Grandson is not cold!" Zhu Xiongying pushed away Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand and yelled on the horse, "When you were fighting in the early years, Grandpa Emperor, you had frostbite on your hands and feet in the wind and rain, and you never cried out. Have a hard time!"

"You are a majestic man. If your grandson can't even stand the cold wind, he is not worthy to be your old grandson, let alone the emperor's grandson of Daming!"

"Good boy!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Grow up quickly, and when you grow up, ride a horse with Grandpa Huang!" Then he turned and said to the people around him, "Hurry up, let the horse start running!"

The cavalry passed Chengtian Gate in the inner city and Daming Gate in the outer city.Walking outside the city, it has become a reunion formation.Thousands of cavalry surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang at the front, forming an arrow shape.

The boys on the horse looked sturdy and agile.On the hooks of the saddle, there are various weapons of different lengths.The long one is a gun, and the short one is a knife.There are also blunt weapons such as throwing axes, meteor hammers, and iron maces.

Boom, the horseshoes made the earth groan, and the mountains and rivers seemed to tremble with the horseshoes.

Looking at the tiger and wolf master beside him, Zhu Xiongying's heart became hot.

Can't help shouting, "Grandpa Huang, be a real man!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily again, "Child, where is this? When we were in Poyang Lake, we fought with Chen Youliang with tens of thousands of people, that is called prestige!"

Walking to the side of Zijin Mountain outside the city, the military camp can be seen faintly.

Suddenly dozens of riders came galloping from the front.

The horse stopped when it was some distance away from Zhu Yuanzhang, and the knight on the horse flew down before the horse stopped.

"Chen Sapphire!"

"Minister Wang Bi!"

"Xue Xian!"

"Cao Xing!"

"Respect Your Majesty!"

"There is no need to kowtow in the army!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand slightly with a stern face, "You are all old soldiers, how can you kowtow on the battlefield? Get up and take us to inspect the army!"

"Here!" Several people stood up, clasped their fists in a military salute, and then got on their horses.

In the big camp, the flags were unfurled, and there was no limit to the killing.

In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there were 19 standing troops and [-] cavalry.These people are all elites of the Ming Dynasty.At this time, the founding of the Ming Dynasty was not long ago, the status of warriors was extremely high, and good generals emerged in endlessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang rode a war horse, with his back straight, and slowly entered the camp.

Zhu Xiongying was also on the horse, with his chest straightened out and his face tensed.

In the big camp, several phalanxes stood silently, and the sun fell on the armor and weapons of the soldiers, reflecting a dazzling light.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's Son of Heaven banner had just been hoisted, and the sound of long live the roar of mountains and tsunami erupted in the camp.For a moment, it seemed as if the river was hanging upside down, and the sky collapsed and the earth sank.

Amidst the long live cheers, Zhu Yuanzhang stationed his horse in front of the general's platform.

First he got off his horse, and then put Zhu Xiongying down.Then he took his grandson's little hand and walked up the steps leading to the high platform step by step.Zhu Biao also got down from the carriage, wearing a golden dragon robe, and followed behind.

All the honorable ministers, as well as civil and military officials, watched quietly below, watching the backs of their grandparents and grandchildren.

Climb high and look far away, stand on the general's platform, and see the army at a glance.

"Today, let me take a look!"

On the Dianjiang stage, there is a metal horn specially used to transmit sound, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang's voice spread far.

Zhu Xiongying noticed that it was the first time the old man used the title "Zhen".

"Let me take a look, we good men of Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

"Long live! Long live!" The three armies responded.

"Since I raised my army, you have all followed me!"

"In the past 17 years, I have repeatedly defeated the generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, defeated Chen Youliang, defeated Zhang Shicheng, swept across the Central Plains, and went north to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. If you send troops to Mobei, you will all have meritorious service!"

Between heaven and earth, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice echoed tremblingly.

"Your son of Daming, Huang Ming's army is the backbone of Daming. A strong soldier makes Daming strong!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was strong, with a bit of sarcasm, and he continued to speak loudly, "But now someone tells me that the world is peaceful now, and the sunset of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the majesty of the Western Mountains are gone. The Ming Dynasty puts the swords and guns into the warehouse, and the horses release the Nanshan Mountains!"

"Fuck your fucking fart!"

"My Daming will not break his own arm, let alone destroy the Great Wall."

"Bei Yuan is still entrenched outside the Great Wall, how can the world be safe! When the swords and guns are put into storage, it will also be the time when you wait for Daming to kill the enemies of Daming!"

"Soldiers! Dare to fight!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, the sky and the earth were immediately filled with shouts and tsunamis from the soldiers of the three armies, "Fight! Fight!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his right hand high, and the sound of mountains and tsunami gradually stopped.

"Da Ming!" he roared.

The three armies shouted wildly, "All victories! All victories! All victories!"

While shouting wildly, Zhu Xiongying was also beside Zhu Yuanzhang, roaring loudly.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

Under the stage, Wei Guogong Xu Da got on his horse and shouted loudly from below, "Your Majesty, all the troops are ready!"

Zhu Yuanzhang concentrated for a moment, then roared, "Start!"

"Your Majesty inspecting the Beijing camp, let's start!" Xu Da also shouted.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong.

Beside the huge war drum, two shirtless men beat desperately on the thick drum hammer in their hands.

Woo!Woo!
The long bullhorn was also blown, echoing in bursts.

In the big camp, the army that had stood upright suddenly started to move.

Boom, the soldiers' boots studded with iron nails made the earth tremble.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the battle flag of the leading Ming Dynasty fluttered high.

First, a phalanx carrying spears came slowly.Although it was far less neat than the military parades of later generations, it was full of killing spirit.Ru Lin's spears covered the sky and the sun, as if even if there was a mountain in front of them, it would be pierced by their spears.

In the phalanx, a large flag fluttered in the wind, making a sound of hunting.

"This is the Ming Dynasty's Xingwu Army!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the soldiers in the audience and whispered to Zhu Xiongying, "The long spear is the king of battle, and the old saying is that the sword is the sword, the moon stick, and the spear for life. These spearmen in the army, They are all the elite of Ming Dynasty!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" The soldiers roared and walked slowly.

Then, another phalanx followed closely behind.

In this phalanx, all are composed of heavy armored infantry.Everyone is wrapped in armor, only revealing a pair of palpitating eyes.

"The heroic army! There are only [-] heavy armored warriors in the army!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "These are all brave men in the army, and they are invincible on the battlefield. Everyone wears sixty catties of armor, which is not enough for ordinary weapons. Can't hurt them!"

The heavy armored infantry is absolutely invincible on the battlefield. Even with the power of the whole country, there are only 8000 such elites.

Then, there were several square formations.

Mighty, Guangwu, Feixiong, Longxiang, all kinds of flags are flying in the sky.It seems that the various phalanxes are also fighting secretly, and each one is fuller and fuller.

Suddenly, the smoke and dust in the distance suddenly increased.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xiongying felt that the platform under his feet seemed to be shaking.

Lanyu, Marquis of Yongchang, and Wangbi, Marquis of Dingyuan, rode their horses slowly ahead.

Thousands of cavalry reined in their horses and followed closely behind.

"Yingyang, the two guards of Xiaoqi!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Several expeditions to Mobei, they are all pioneers!"

The cavalry covered the sky and the sun in a continuous line.

These cavalry were lined up in a dense formation, as if dark clouds were pressing down, making people's breathing a little slow.

"Heavy cavalry!" Zhu Xiongying thought to himself.

The cavalry and war horses are all covered with thick armor, like moving fortresses.

Such cavalry, with the power of the whole country, is only a few thousand cavalry.It can be called the king of the battlefield, invincible.

But Zhu Xiongying's gaze was fixed on the back.

Because he saw the artillery.

The Shenwei Army, under the leadership of Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, came slowly.

All the soldiers in the formation were carrying guns and pushing artillery carts.

Firearms played a pivotal role in the Ming army. Artillery was already a powerful weapon in the army before the world was pacified.When he and Chen Youliang fought in Poyang Lake, the warships of both sides were covered with iron sheets, and they set up artillery and fired at each other.

In Muying's battle to pacify Yunnan, firearms made the enemy even more frightened.

At this time, it was under the administration of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. There was a special gunpowder bureau, a firearms foundry, and countless craftsmen specializing in making firearms.

The firecrackers used by soldiers in the army can be turned into muskets with a little improvement.

A thought began to emerge in Zhu Xiongying's mind.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him, he thought to himself, "The old man is going to celebrate his birthday, so I want to give him a unique birthday gift!"
