Chapter 137: The emperor’s love for love is entrusted to the cuckoo! (Second update)
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
Under the martial arts stage, the bloody spirit of the soldiers below was completely ignited.
More passionate and enthusiastic than Zhu Dishi.
Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Xia Zhibai from the corner of his eye, with a hint of caution in his eyes.
Earlier, Xia Zhibai said that if he had been in charge of the army for five years, he would be like slaughtering chickens and dogs to defeat him. He didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't think Xia Zhibai could do it.
But now he was shaken.
Looking at the soldiers below who were shouting and screaming in anger, the soldiers who were said to be filled with righteous indignation, their soaring fighting spirit, and their monstrous fighting spirit, it can be said that they have changed day by day when they were training with him. Being alone, this gave Zhu Di a big blow to his self-esteem.
Yao Guangxiao noticed it.
He took a few steps lightly, went to Zhu Di's side, and whispered: "Scholars are always talkative. If you really let him lead troops to fight, I'm afraid he won't even be able to arrange the most basic troops. If he encounters If the Mongolian cavalry charges, they will be frightened to the point of being confused. Now that they are calm, they can talk. "
"Your Highness must not lose confidence because of this."
Zhu Di snorted coldly. A sound.
He glanced at Yao Guangxiao indifferently and said coldly: "Don't worry, this can't shake my belief, but Xia Zhibai is right. When I went to train troops, I was a bit rigid and too step-by-step. , less ambitious and more conservative. Now that I, Zhu Di, have understood it, how can I make the same mistake again?"
"This Xia Zhibai is indeed powerful."
"A few words can stir up the morale of the army, and just a few words can arouse the fighting spirit of the whole army."
"If you can use it for me, it will be even more powerful."
Zhu Di gave birth to a strong feeling. Craving.
Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly. There is no doubt about Xia Zhibai's talent, but Zhu Di is just a prince, and Xia Zhibai is still the current number one scholar. Such a person, even the current His Majesty, has to look at him differently. How can he come to follow Zhu Di? mix?
And
Xia Zhibai has great ambitions.
His eyes are not focused on one city or one pool.
But the world!
Yao Guangxiao looked at Yuan Gong aside, as if thinking of something, and asked: "Brother Yuan, you have unparalleled physiognomy. I wonder how this Xia Zhibai looks in your eyes?"
Zhu Di also Looked over.
Yuan Gong's fortune-telling skills were very good. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were rumors that he had photographed hundreds of scholar-bureaucrats in the Yuan Dynasty, and he could accurately calculate the birth, old age, illness, and death of these people, as well as good and bad luck, and even the time was accurate to a certain day and time. .
Everything is amazing.
Yuan Gong actually did not become an official.
He was recommended here recently by Yao Guangxiao.
Zhu Di originally despised Yuan Gong, and even took the exam specifically for this.
He selected nine guards in the military camp. They were all similar in appearance and body shape to himself. They all held bows and arrows. They drank in a wine shop and asked Yuan Gong to guess who he was among the ten.
Originally Zhu Di wanted to embarrass Yuan Gong, but Yuan Gong not only found him, but also said something else to him.
“His Royal Highness is walking like a dragon and a tiger, with the sun reaching into the sky. He looks like the Emperor of Peace.”
“He also said that when he is less than forty years old, his beard will droop. To the navel, you can even ascend the throne and sit in the palace by then."
Hearing these words, Zhu Di was secretly happy.
Only then did he truly recognize Yuan Gong.
For this.
He also asked Yuan Gong to take a picture of his captains and soldiers, and he actually saw some "gonghou generals" from them, such as Qiu Fu, Zhang Yu and others. This is also the reason why Zhang Yu was entrusted with important tasks not long after he came to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhang Yu will be his future general.
How could he not be reused more?
Win over in advance?
Yuan Gong tugged at his beard and looked a little solemn.
He did not answer directly, but kept staring at Xia Zhibai. After Xia Zhibai arrived, he kept his eyes on Xia Zhibai and watched Xia Zhibai's face.
It’s just that Xia Zhibai’s face is different from what he has seen before.
Red!
Like a red sun.
At first he thought he had seen it wrong.
It was the glow of the glow that blinded him. How could a person become a red sun?
But when he waited for the glow to fade and looked again, Xia Zhibai was still covered in red light, as red as crying blood.
However, this red light is not dazzling, but very soft.
It feels weird.
It was also the first time in his life that he saw it.
Yuan Gong's pupils also glowed with bursts of red light under the setting sun.
A long time.
Yuan Gongcai said two words unconsciously.
"Wang Emperor!"
Hearing these two words, Zhu Di's face darkened.
He looked at Yuan Gong suddenly and said in a cold voice: "Yuan Gong, what did you say? Emperor Wang? Are you saying that Xia Zhibai will rebel and proclaim himself emperor in the future?!"
Yao Guangxiao was also shocked by Yuan Gong's words. ‘Emperor’ cannot be said casually.
Zhu Di is already very ambitious. If there is another "Wang Di", wouldn't it mean that after Zhu Yuanzhang dies of illness, the Ming Dynasty will fall into civil strife and once again enter the stage of competition between heroes, but how is this possible?
The Ming Dynasty was prosperous, how could it decline to this point?
Zhu Di was also in disbelief.
The current Ming Dynasty has a very strict control of military power. Military power is basically in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it is also in the hands of the emperor. Outsiders cannot interfere at all.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was in great power, so how could there be any signs of decline? He was ambitious, but he only hoped that after his eldest brother Zhu Biao died of illness, he would be favored by his father and be appointed as the prince. He never thought that the world would be in chaos in the future, and he would raise troops to quell the chaos and wipe out the world again.
Yuan Gong closed his eyes and his expression gradually became clear.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness has misunderstood. What I mean by Wang Di is not the 'Emperor' that His Highness understands, but Xia Zhibai has the heart to 'Wang Emperor'."
"It is said that there was a king in ancient Shu who was famous as an emperor. He was diligent in running the country. At that time, the king of ancient Shu was Cong Di. Cong Di did a lot of things for the benefit of the country and people in the ancient Shu country, but later he started to take credit and be arrogant. , became arbitrary, no longer listened to the opinions of his subjects, and no longer cared about the lives of the people. "Emperor Wang felt that he had a responsibility to help Emperor Cong wake up and govern the country well."
"So I tried my best to persuade him to obey the emperor."
"It's just that it's not available. In the end, I prayed to God and turned into a cuckoo."
"Then I kept shouting loudly"
"The people are precious! The people are precious!"
"Wang Di has no intention of 'proclaiming himself king and emperor', but only cares about the 'popular sentiment'."
"I don't know if Xia Zhibai is 'Wang Di', I only care about it. Xia Zhibai's whole body was blood-red, like a cuckoo crying blood, which reminded me of the 'Wang Emperor' mentioned in ancient books, and I blurted it out unconsciously."
Zhu Di closed his eyes slightly and did not take it lightly. He continued to ask: "Does he really not have the spirit of an emperor?"
Yuan Gong said: "No."
"Looking at the Emperor, looking at the Emperor, maybe before he There is a chance, at least he is qualified to be an emperor, but when the cuckoo cries for blood, he will no longer have the spirit of an emperor, but only the suffering of the people."
"This is a common people who have never been born in the world. Saint."
Yuan Gong faced Xia Zhibai and bowed respectfully.
Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other.
A saint for the common people?
Is there really such a person in the world?
Zhu Di also felt a little upset after being told by Yuan Gong.
He looked at Xia Zhibai suspiciously, but didn't see anything strange.
Just a penniless person.
If it were a close fight, Zhu Di was confident that he could kill two people with one sword. Would such a person be a saint?
Soon.
Zhu Di's expression softened.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, the current Xia Zhibai is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so this saint is also a saint of the Ming Dynasty. This is supposed to be a good thing, indicating that the Ming Dynasty has inherited the way of heaven and is pleased by heaven. Otherwise, it will not be the same. Will a saint be sent down to rule the world?
Moreover, Yuan Gong once said that if he could grow his beard past the navel in the future, he would surely ascend to the throne and become the Emperor of Peace for twenty years.
Doesn’t that mean that Xia Zhibai will also be his minister?
Even
Did he help him become the Emperor of Peace?
Think of this.
Zhu Di was certain in his heart, and looked at Xia Zhibai with a bit of goodwill.
Since he has no intention of rebellion, it means that he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty. How can he be so petty?
Xia Zhibai is not aware of the changes in the moods of Zhu Di and others.
His eyes were all on the soldiers below. When the voices of the soldiers below gradually became quieter, Xia Zhibai continued: "War is cruel, and war also means death. The population in the north is already depleted, and the population in the north is depleted. How can we withstand large-scale attrition? How can we withstand attrition in non-war conditions? "Firearms are of epoch-making significance for war."
"Back then, when the world was not unified, it was indeed normal to use these heavy and difficult-to-use firearms."
"Now that the Ming Dynasty has unified the world for many years, the military still uses this type of weapon. In my opinion, it can only be regarded as a 'semi-finished product' 'The Firearms Bureau and other officials have failed in their duties. And the people in the military have turned a blind eye to this phenomenon, which is even more frightening."
"It is a matter of concern. How can we be so indifferent to human life?”
“And there is a clear difference between the unification war and the Northern Expedition.”
"The war of unification is mainly about sieges of cities, while the war of the Northern Expedition is more about long-distance attacks, head-on confrontations in front of the formation, or surprise attacks. Therefore, adjustments should be made to tactics, strategies, weapons and armor, etc. , instead of sticking to the previous one."
"As far as I can see,"
"The Ming army actually has many problems."
" I will report these issues to His Majesty for your decision in the future."
"I believe that it won't be long before the Ming Dynasty's firearms will be improved to a certain extent, and the weapons you use will also be greatly improved. To improve the Ming Dynasty, every soldier and every citizen is precious. Your lives are extremely precious and cannot be ignored. ”
"The direction of war in the future has changed."
"From the past, in order to achieve the goal by any means and regardless of casualties, we have gradually turned to achieve the greatest military success with the smallest cost and the least casualties."
“These are the generals of the Ming Dynasty. They need to be continuously studied and improved in the days to come, instead of being like some people today who think that they can be high up and show off their power and be arrogant after becoming a general. "
"Military household."
"The world demands of you that you should always have the thought of sacrificing yourself for the country."
"However, the military household system also has requirements for the court, which is to require the court to care for the people and make every effort to improve your chances of survival."
"This is a two-way street."
"Only when both are achieved at the same time, can the Ming Dynasty achieve full martial virtue!"
