Chapter 264, Baby.
I heard that Zhang Anshi has a way.
Zhu Di’s gloomy and anxious face only slightly eased down.
He is impatient, looking at these brothers one by one begging for money, they know that this is no way to solve this good voice.
And in history, Zhu Di has actually cut the clan, Zhu Di cut the clan’s means is quite peaceful, but still with a bloody wind.
Even when dealing with his own brother, King Zhou, it was first Jin Yiwei reported that King Zhou intended to conspire against the king, and then the terrified King Zhou was summoned to the capital to show that we are brothers, and forgave King Zhou.
After the shock of that one time, the King of Zhou became immediately sensible and hastened to report to Zhu Di, asking him to withdraw his three guards.
Obviously, Zhu Di this time, but also want to repeat the same trick, if all the kings do not agree, it will have to force a force.
Of course, this is not a solution, Zhu Di would prefer a peaceful solution.
Zhu Di then gazed at Zhang Anshi at this moment and said, “What is Secretary Zhang’s solution?”
Zhang Anshi said, “In the end, the kings still have doubts about this. In fact, there is no excuse for having doubts. In their respective feudal towns, the kings’ favorable life is real. Can go overseas, it is not the same. Outside too dangerous, although can satisfy themselves to do a real feudal king to say that the heart, but after all, the risk is too great, not to mention still with family to go.”
“They will only think that His Majesty is eager to get rid of this baggage of theirs and covets their existing clans, so to solve this problem, I thought …… the best way is to let them actually see the prospect.”
“Realistically see?” Zhu froze, then frowned, “Could we still kidnap them to go on a Western walk first?”
“Uh ……” Zhang Anshi said, “This is not necessary, I thought that the most important thing is to give them enough confidence.”
Zhu Di said suspiciously, “What confidence? What medicine are you selling in your gourd this time?”
Zhang Anshi then stopped talking about those ethereal things and directly said, “Hasn’t His Majesty already summoned the remnants of Arutai Uliangha to the capital?”
When these words came out, Zhu Di realized something violently and glanced at Zhang Anshi: “What does Minister Zhang mean ……”
Zhang Anshi said, “This Arutai and Woody Liangha s chief came all the way to the capital, and I heard …… that they were along the way, and there was some dissatisfaction.”
Zhu paced as he said, “Go on.”
So Zhang Anshi continued: “This is the brocade guards to probe, they originally came to the capital in a hurry, but only along the way to know, the original ghost Li Chi is actually because of poisoning and death, they just shouted on our when. They are now desperate, but privately muttered, talking about this matter, more than a few unconvinced. In their opinion, we Ming is not to defeat them squarely, but to use the underhanded means.”
When Zhang Anshi talked about underhanded tactics, it was as if none of this had anything to do with him.
Zhu Di snorted coldly and said, “A bereaved dog, still dare to have such a mind, heh ……”
Zhang Anshi instead smiled and said, “It’s not wrong for them to have this mindset. I was thinking, why don’t we do it this way, let their remnants enter the pass anyway, why don’t we teach this remnants to come to the capital as well, and then issue them back their weapons, and say that we will conduct a practical battle drill.”
Zhu raised an eyebrow and said, “Practical combat maneuvers?”
This is obviously a bit out of Zhu’s league.
Zhang Anshi then said, “It is to find a place to have a real fight. On my side, let the Model Battalion come and take them on.”
After a pause, Zhang Anshi then said: “There are two benefits, one is to make the Tartars and Wood Liangha people happy and convinced, and the other is that His Majesty and the kings, can personally observe, teach them to know the model battalion of the powerful where, all our new armament weapons, all out of the practice a practice.”
“When the kings have seen how powerful they are, and can defeat even this Tartar, then, in the name of reward, His Majesty will arm their guards and send them overseas, and they will, naturally, have peace of mind.”
When Zhu Di heard this, he wrinkled his eyebrows slightly and looked thoughtful, as if he was beginning to weigh things up.
Is this what Zhang Anshi calls confidence?
Zhu Di pondered for a moment before saying: ”If we really want to have a real battle, we can’t make any mistakes. Tartar fighting strength, and this Wu Liang Ha’s fighting strength, are not to be underestimated. Once the real sword, is only allowed to win is not allowed to lose. At that time, three hundred Tartars and Woodlawn’s elite, against three hundred model battalions, can you ensure that everything is safe?”
Zhang Anshi, however, said, “Your Majesty, I have heard that this remnant of the Tartars and the Woodlawns have more than nineteen thousand men, and that is not counting their families, but because it is a remnant, there are quite a number of people who are wounded and disabled, and there are also quite a number of old and weak people, and if they are eliminated, there are roughly 3,000 to 5,000 strong and healthy men, and since we are going to have a maneuver, we might as well just let all of them go on it, and why go through all this trouble? ”
Zhu Di’s face stiffened as he stared at Zhang Anshi with his eyes wide open, he almost thought that Zhang Anshi, this guy, had definitely gone crazy.
Isn’t that a bit of a mouthful?
“This is too risky!” Zhu Di obviously had concerns, said, “Are you underestimating them too much? I know very well that once upon a time the model battalion could take advantage of a lot because the cavalry could not be utilized. But this Tartar, and Uliangha people, are horseback origin, can not underestimate them.”
Zhang Anshi, however, said confidently, “Your Majesty, the reason why the model battalion is called model is because they have the most rigorous drills, the most adequate supplies, and the most sophisticated weapons, so if they can’t achieve the ability to fight against an enemy that is several times their size, then how can they talk about the word model? Because of this, that’s why I thought it was especially important to conduct a drill to test the strength of the battle.”
After a pause, Zhang Anshi added: “Furthermore, please ask your majesty and all the kings as well as all the generals in the army to observe the battle, in this way, not only can we achieve the purpose of deterring the Tartars and the Woodlanders, but also can give the kings enough confidence. And the generals in the army can also understand the new form of future war and benefit from it, this is a plan to kill three birds with one stone.”
Zhang Anshi seemed to be afraid that Zhu Di refused, then added: “Even if you lose, after all, the model battalion is to fight more with less, in fact, …… face can be justified.”
Zhu Di couldn’t help but cry and laugh, and when he thought about it this way, it seemed to make sense!
If you win, you can make a big profit, and if you lose, you have a step to take, so you don’t lose anyway.
So Zhu Di will no longer oppose, then said: “Well, this matter I handed over to the Ministry of War Secretary Jin Zhong preparation, model battalion also get ready.”
“Yes, thank you for Your Majesty’s grace.” Zhang Anshi happily responded.
Convinced Zhu Di, Zhang Anshi will be happy to return to Qixia, first called the model battalion up and down, as well as the brothers, simple to explain the matter of the actual battle drill.
Zhu Yong a few, when they heard this news, all of a sudden, their blood boiled up.
Zhu Yong was the first to say; “Big brother don’t worry about it, today, I also want to earn a Marquis of the world. Teach His Majesty and my father to open their eyes, especially my father, he bragged to me all day long about his deeds in the beginning of the Jingdan, I heard all the calluses, today will teach him to know, in front of me, he counts as shit.”
The haziness that was often present in Qiu Song’s eyes seemed to have unconsciously dissipated a few points at this time, and he stared straight at Zhang Anshi and said; “Big brother, can we use gunpowder?”
“What’s a drill without using gunpowder?” Zhang Anshi patted Qusong’s head.
Qiu Song suddenly had a light in his eyes, and cheerfully said, “Then should we move all the things that are in the bottom of the box, out?”
Zhang Anshi boldly said: “This is natural, to make every effort, only allowed to win, not allowed to lose! I only one, do not let big brother disgrace, the other …… with you toss.”
Zhu Yong and the three of them couldn’t help but jump for joy, their model battalion had been holding back for too long.
Day after day drills, rehearsal of all kinds of ordnance, drill all kinds of battle tactics, a group of the most energetic people, but daily shut in the camp, this energy is nowhere to vent it!
Zhang Anshi also said: “This Tartar and Wu Liangha people strength is not low! I have to say in front of the ugly words, the Wu Liang Ha people, you are aware of it, even if you do not know, your father and elder brother should have told you, when the war, the Wu Liang Ha people also participated in the battle, how their strength, they are personally seen. And the Tartars, obviously, are stronger than the Woodland Harriers!”
“So you must be prudent and cautious, for horse combat, for their mounted archery, you must immediately gather the military officials and start working on drawings, and work out a battle plan first. With a plan, then targeted drills, be prepared for everything. You also know, big brother is also a person with a face, go out outside, who see big brother, do not raise a thumb? But this time if you teach big brother’s face is dishonored, none of you can be blamed!”
The three men responded.
Especially Qusong, his eyes started to get confused again, as if at this moment, he had started to think freely.
Zhang Anshi then went to the East Palace, who knows the East Palace here, but there are guests.
It is that King Zhu Zhen of Chu.
Before Zhang Anshi reached the back hall, he heard Zhu Zhanji’s exaggerated voice: “Uncle Chu is really great.”
When Zhang Anshi walked in, he saw Chu Wang Zhu Zhen, the King of Chu, demonstrating his craft of jerking iron as he held up a copper tripod and paced back and forth.
At this time, he held back his red face, the muscles of his body tensed, but his body was a little wobbly, obviously this tripod, or slightly a few heavy.
Zhu Zhanji looked at Chu King Zhu Zhen with a twinkle in his eye.
Only Zhu Gaoqi stood by helplessly as he entered a state of delirium.
This imperial uncle, he couldn’t be persuaded, so he could only watch the scene from the sidelines with dumbfounded eyes.
Zhang Anshi came in and said, “His Highness, the King of Chu, is just too powerful.”
When Zhu Zhen heard such a roar, he was caught off guard and immediately threw the tripod down heavily in a smooth manner.
With a clang, the tripod went straight into the ground for three minutes.
Zhu Zhen was dissatisfied, “What are you yelling, causing me to be discouraged, this time does not count …… this king to come again, Zhanji, this time you watch, teach you to know, what is called the world’s first warrior.”
Zhu Gaoqi advised, “Imperial uncle, forget it.”
Zhu Zhen shook his head, touched Zhu Zhanji’s head, and said, “Your imperial grandfather is like Emperor Taizu Gao, this king is also like Emperor Taizu Gao, you are also like Emperor Taizu Gao, only your father, the crown prince …… is like Jianwen …… ”
Zhu Zhanji said, “What was Emperor Taizu Gao like?”
“Strong as an ox, like me.”
He spoke with Zhu Zhanji with interest, seemingly interested in him, before turning back thereafter and looking at Zhu Gaoqi, “The crown prince has given birth to a good son, ah, truly envious of others.”
Zhu Gaoqi said, “Imperial Uncle, why don’t you go take a seat?”
“No sitting, no sitting.” Zhu Zhen said, “This king likes to stand, one cannot sit for long.”
At this time, Zhu Zhanji suddenly crossed his arms and said in an unassailable manner, “Uncle Chu Wang, my uncle can also carry the tripod, and my uncle is more powerful than uncle.”
When Zhang Anshi heard this, he shivered, his face was miserable, and he hurriedly hung his head.
Zhu Zhanji said, “Uncle, you try it too.”
Zhu Zhen, the King of Chu, glanced at Zhang Anshi in amazement and said, “I didn’t realize that the Duke of Wei had such a skill, although this king has heard of some of the Duke of Wei’s deeds in the feudal land, he never thought that the Duke of Wei, at a young age, would have a thousand pounds of strength!”
Zhang Anshi could only laugh dryly and said, “The imperial grandson was joking, shame, shame.”
Zhu Zhen said, “Brother Zhou Wang has always said that you are a talented person with unparalleled medical skills and has praised you, if you can lift this tripod, this king will be convinced.”
Zhang Anshi hemmed and hawed, “I’ve been in bad shape lately.”
Zhu Zhanji said, “Don’t be afraid, Uncle ……”
Zhu Gaoqi covered Zhu Zhanji’s mouth and directly silenced him.
Zhu Zhen said, “Hey, hey, well, well, hungry, this king is here to eat a casual meal, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and this king close, at the beginning, this king also hugged him! Now, he is older, this king, hey …… to be old, it is rare to come to the capital, see this great nephew and nephew grandchildren, Duke of Wei, later accompany this king to have a drink.”
Zhang Anshi had to readily accept good advice and say, “Good.”
Eat and drink enough, Zhang Anshi took the opportunity to whisper: “His Highness the King of Chu is brave, why not vassal overseas, playing a piece of the foundation? You see that His Highness the King of Zhao, and the former King of Han, compared with His Highness the King of Chu, far worse, His Highness this body of martial arts, waste is a pity.”
This Zhu Zhen has always been a big grin, heartless look, see no one, at this time the eyes are very deep meaning to look at Zhang Anshi: “Since ancient times, brothers split up, of course, the eldest is to inherit the family business, while the other sons, but always inherit some of the fields to live, everyone is still a clan, each other to watch out for each other. Where are the brothers who split up their families and the oldest got the family business, but drove the brothers away?”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
Zhu Zhen then said: “If the common people’s family is still like this, the royal family can’t be like this any more. I know the character of my brother, this king, this king is a person who speaks more straight, and also know that you will definitely go to the king’s words to report to his brother, but there are some words, this king does not spit out quickly! My Ming dynasty, the foundation is not big enough? How come now, such a big base, even brothers eat a mouthful of soup and water, are not compatible?”
Zhang Anshi laughed dryly, “Your Majesty is mainly thinking about His Highness the King of Chu.”
“Consider a bird.” Chu King Zhu Zhen said, “Do you think this king is a fool? If you don’t live a good life, you have to go outside! What King of Han, King of Zhao, and King of Ning, aren’t they all the ones you set up? They are good now, but they are all the result of the court’s strong support. Why? They want to trick the brothers into going out? The ones who went first, like the three of them, must have taken advantage of all the benefits, the time, place, and people, it would be strange if they didn’t stand firm!”
“But like us after to, must be called the day should not be, called the ground does not work, when a family, died in vain in the hands of the natives, the news back to the capital, you do not still cry a, and then scolded the king of these people …… did not have the ability to fart, and even the natives can not be pinned down?”
Zhang Anshi momentarily speechless, this Chu Wang how to say as if they are leeks in the stock market, the big banker is trying to trick him into cutting.
Zhang Anshi had to persuade again, “His Majesty is your highness’ brother ah ……”
Zhu Zhen, however, grunted coldly, “This king is having a good time right now, so don’t talk too much! Well, you have a good capacity for wine, and this wine is also good, palace imperial brew, is this brewed by the imperial brother?”
Zhang Anshi said, “If your highness likes it, I’ll send ten or eight boxes.”
“Forget it, and then good drink, but also to stop, people ah, can not be greedy, have to know their own portion! What bravery, what superior force, this king only knows that two fists can’t beat four hands. I advise you to go before His Majesty, don’t persuade him to teach our brothers to go overseas. All in all, I’m stuck here. No one can drive me away! This is Emperor Taizu’s kingdom, and what I eat is not my brother’s salary, but my son’s, Emperor Taizu’s.”
Saying that, he raised his eyebrows, and had the look of a godly man, with an air of come at me if you can.
Zhang Anshi then could not persuade any further, so he could only say, “Your Highness has misunderstood His Majesty, strike that, I won’t say any more, it’s true that good people don’t have good rewards.”
Zhang Anshi is quite speechless for Zhu Di, this brother did …… have to do how many great lack of great virtue ah, even his own brother does not trust him.
Even if there are some brothers who don’t trust, this His Highness the King of Chu, such recklessness and a gut through to the end of the person, the IQ at best is just a little bit higher than Zhu Yong, but also absolutely refused to take the bait.
It can be seen to what extent Zhu Di was morally corrupt in the minds of the kings.
…………
Alutai and Haer Wood outlaw into the capital, they have been arranged in the Honglu Temple.
They just weren’t happy about it at all.
Learned that everything is the problem of that night pearl, two people beat their chests and feet. Feel really too wronged, if it is not that night pearl, ghost force red poisoning is very deep, how will the two plan to usurp the throne, and how will kill each other, to the end …… and how will it be such a sorry end?
In the end, it was Damien who made the trick.
When they arrived at the capital, Zhu Di treated them coldly and, by decree, ordered the remnants of their army to disarm and enter the pass.
At this point, the two became a tiger with its teeth pulled out, knowing that they might never be able to return to the desert.
They may even be directly circled and detained by the Ming, and even their men may never return to the grasslands.
So whenever the two of them are together, they can’t help but drink their sorrows away.
Speaking of which, this Palace Imperial Brew was extremely to their liking, the wine was strong and painful to drink.
It was a pity that there was this good wine, but their foundation and ministry were all lost to themselves.
When they think of this, the two of them feel that their hearts are clogged, but there is nothing they can do about it, they just have a pale heart, and when they are drunk, they can’t help but be full of complaints.
“Anda, I regret, this Han people only know how to use plotting and trickery, if we fight squarely, why is it like this? I …… am sorry to my ancestors …….”
“Hey, what can be done about it? Nowadays, in the words of the Han people, it means that we are the tiger falling down to Pingyang, and the hallowed Han people have to be stifled in this way.”
Arutai said excitedly as he slapped the wine case desperately.
But Ha’er Wu’ou worriedly said: “But I don’t know the whereabouts of our people now? The Han Chinese are so deceitful that we have not only victimized ourselves, but also our own people.”
The two of them, for Zhang Anshi’s despicable tactics, were indignant.
Such loud conspiracy, in fact, has long been lurking here secret agent to listen to it.
But apparently, the duo also broke the mold, especially after getting drunk.
But at that moment, someone suddenly came and said, “Quickly go out to receive the decree.”
The two were already a little drunk, and when they heard about the holy decree, they said disdainfully in Mongolian: “Heh …… scumbag ……”
“Treacherous ……”
Still, the two wandered out of the courtyard they were staying in, only to see a eunuch already waiting.
The two stood, and the eunuch bellowed, “Why don’t you kneel down to receive the decree.”
Perhaps it was the bellowing that snapped them out of it.
Ha Er Wu outlaw realized that his distance from the prisoner, in fact, is only a line of separation, when the cold sweat, they panicked and bowed down.
Although Alutai felt suffocated, he also knelt down like Ha’er Wu姝�.
The eunuch pulled his voice: “By the grace of God, the emperor, said: Tartar, Uliangha more nuisance to my Ming, mutilation of the people of the border towns, I can not tolerate, today you two, with the remnants of the defection, I think God has the virtue of good life, it is the nuns Nian Hare Woods outlaw, Alutai two people still know the crime, the crime is not to be held accountable. Today, the two, and the remnants of the Department together into the customs, it is heard that the Tartars, Uliangha people are quite courageous, order the two to collect the remnants of the Department, I returned weapons, at the end of the year twenty-seven, the rate of the Department of the Jinshan drill, admirable ……”
This eunuch said, Alutai and Ha’er Wu outlaw although studied the Chinese language, but after all, not familiar with, only understand half of it, they look at each other in the face.
When the eunuch saw that the two did not take the decree and looked frozen, he reminded them, “Take the decree.”
“What does this holy decree mean?” Arutai said.
The eunuch then said, “His Majesty means to let you join the remnants of the army, and also to issue you back your weapons and provide you with some provisions.”
Both looked like they refused to believe it.
“You are ordered to temporarily canton Jinshan, and when the time comes, you will be allowed to engage in a practical drill with the Model Battalion.”
“Real-world drills?”
“It’s just a real fight, and let’s see who wins.”
These two were shocked to hear this and found it unbelievable.
Then he muttered in Mongolian, “Could this be another trick?”
“This is what the Emperor himself said, does he still dare to renege on his word?”
“You mean …….”
“A fight would be best, I’ve been holding my breath for a long time to teach them a lesson.”
“Yes, no matter what, we can always see our own people, just what if we hurt them by the time the swords come?”
Ha’er Wu outlaw eyes swept through a cold color, said: “first wounded and then say, is their own to fight, not to give them a look at our warriors powerful, they instead look down on us.”
“Good.”
The two of them said that they were set, and both of their faces unconsciously showed joy.
Honestly, they’d wanted to kill these scumbags long ago.
When the Ming Dynasty went on the Northern Expedition, it did kill the Tatars’ asses.
Those Tartars who enjoyed themselves in the Guanchi, after returning to the steppe, slowly resumed their nomadic life, and their fighting strength began to slowly recover.
It has also allowed many Tatars, to begin to regain their self-confidence.
Now, it’s clearly time for a clean slate.
News of the actual battle drills spread quickly.
Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, was in no hurry; at this time, he took a box and brought some treasures into the palace for an audience.
Before this entry into the palace, everything needs to be searched to make sure no one is carrying sharp objects.
However, seeing that it was Zhang Anshi, the eunuch guarding the door pretended not to see the box that Zhang Anshi was holding, and simply asked, “Duke Wei, you …… are …… this.”
Zhang Anshi smiled affably and said, “Hearing that all the kings are here, I have come to give a great gift to His Majesty and also to the kings.”
The eunuch then smiled and cheerfully said, “The slave girl will go and inform.”
After a while, Zhang Anshi arrived at the Wen Building.
Here today there is a lot of noise, Zhu Di only felt a big head.
He knew that this kings one by one so, what is the mind, it is nothing more than the face do not want, intends to die begging.
When the other side intends to face, Zhu Di is left with two choices, or learn Jianwen, simply directly lift the table to turn the face, directly the guy are chopped up.
However, these feudal lords still held many guards throughout the world. If this happens, I’m afraid that their sons will not hesitate to raise armies directly in all parts of the world.
Not only that, the most important thing is that this is also not in line with Zhu Di want to create the image of brotherhood and friendship, after all, it is the banner of pacification of the emperor, how can only a few years of work, directly turned the face of it?
At this moment, someone reported, “Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei is outside the palace.”
“Summon in.”
Zhang Anshi came in with his box in his arms, and Zhu Di, as if relieved, immediately ignored the kings and only looked at Zhang Anshi, smiling, “Secretary Zhang, you’ve seen all the kings, haven’t you?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, I have seen them all, Your Majesty, I have brought some treasures with me today.”
Zhu Di’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said curiously, “Baby, what baby?”
Zhu Di and the kings’ gazes then fell on Zhang Anshi’s box.
Zhang Anshi said with a hint of mystery, “There is one thing, it is for His Majesty, the King of Zhou.”
King Zhou Zhu Tiao looked surprised.
But he saw Zhang Anshi open this box and took out a pair of old-fashioned glasses from the box.
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Highness King Zhou’s eyes are not good, I here, have spent a lot of manpower and resources to grind presbyopia glasses, and I would like to ask Your Highness King Zhou to try them out.”
King Zhou Zhu was a bit confused and stared blankly at the pair of old-fashioned glasses.
What the hell is this?
The other kings, too, looked at each other.
Including Chu, confused as hell.
Only Zhang Anshi, took out two orb-like crystal mirrors, which were connected by a wooden frame.
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Highness the King of Zhou will know once he tries it, it’s a good thing, it’s like giving Your Highness the King of Zhou two more eyes.”
