At this time, there were more people around Zhu Yunxi and several older vassal kings.
They were sitting here drinking tea and talking. Other young feudal princes also came with their guards, and there was a lot of laughter.
Even the younger generations from each family came over and sat next to their father and brother, like little adults.
His three brothers are particularly eye-catching, the three sons of King Zhu Di’s family.
The boss, Zhu Gaochi, is a fat man. When he sits there, he looks like Maitreya Buddha. The flesh on his belly bulges, the flesh on his face trembles, and his little eyes click. At first glance, he has an idea.
.
The second and third eldest children, on the other hand, had ADHD and couldn't sit still. Looking at Prince Ning and Zhu Quan galloping in the martial arts arena, their eyes lit up and they wished they could compete now.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi looking over, Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes and smiled kindly.
Zhu Yunxi smiled in return. This fat man was a wise monarch in history, but his life was short-lived.
At that moment, he waved his hand and a guard brought some snacks and pastries.
Zhu Yunxi pushed a few dishes over and said with a smile, "Have a taste of the capital. How does it compare to yours in Peking?"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes were immediately attracted by the exquisite snacks, his fat face was a little tangled, and he said cruelly, "Thank you, King Wu, I still won't eat, I'm not hungry!"
Remember https://m in one second.
This naive look made people laugh. Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "Why, are you afraid of getting fat?"
This statement made everyone around him laugh.
The son of the dragon, the grandson of the dragon, and his grandson are all strong and strong men, and suddenly there is a fat man like this, which is really a bit incongruous.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi looked a little embarrassed.
But his younger brother Zhu Gaoxu was heartless. He patted his eldest brother's belly and said, "My eldest brother has been so fat since he was a child! My mother didn't dare to give him more food!" After saying that, he gave the third child an elbow, "
Right, third brother!"
This is also a man with an unstable personality and low emotional intelligence. How can he talk about his elder brother in front of outsiders?
Zhu Di's face suddenly turned dark, and he wanted to take action, but was hampered by the presence of outsiders around him.
Zhu Gaochi smiled like a normal person at this time, "It's not that I'm afraid of getting fat, I'm afraid that my stomach will bloate after eating too much! If you can go hunting in a carriage in Peiping, where can you go hunting in the capital!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi and said, "King Wu, you and I were born in the same year. How old are you?"
Brat, you turn out to be a bad guy!
Zhu Yunxi couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He didn't expect that he was tricked by a fat man.
Because he and Zhu Gaochi are of the same generation, they were born in the same year, and their imaginary years this year are both fifteen, but Zhu Yunxi's birthday is a few months later than Zhu Gaochi's.
However, Zhu Yunxi did not hesitate and said openly, "I am younger than you and was born in November!"
Sure enough, Zhu Gaochi showed a successful smile, "I am Yue, and King Wu wants to call me cousin!"
Although this is the case in terms of seniority, Zhu Yunxi is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and although Zhu Gaochi is the elder brother, he is a grandson of the emperor without any title.
Everyone was laughing, waiting for Zhu Yunxi's response.
Zhu Yunxi's emotional intelligence is not low. He stood up and saluted, "Cousin!"
Zhu Gaochi was startled. He was the grandson of an emperor without a title. How dare he accept this? He hurriedly got out of the way and returned the greeting solemnly.
Everyone was a little surprised, and then their evaluation of Zhu Yunxi became a little higher.
The emperor's direct grandson, King Wu, was modest, did not show off or put on airs, and was open-minded.
At this time, King Ning Zhu Quan came on horseback, his head covered with sweat from strenuous exercise. Seeing that everyone was talking and no one paid attention to his heroic appearance, he felt a little unhappy.
"Fourth brother!" Zhu Quan said on his horse, "Let's compete!"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "You are tired after playing for so long. Now I am not taking advantage of you by comparing myself with you!"
"What are you talking about, brother four! I've just started sweating, and I'm already tired!" Zhu Quan said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen brother four's shooting skills. Let me open my eyes!"
"What kind of shooting skills do I have!" Zhu Di still smiled, "My skills are for killing people!"
Indeed, King Ning and Zhu Quan's cavalry archery looks good, but it is just a fast horse and light arrows, which is a bit showy. But Zhu Di's horse is hung with a heavy bow half a man's height, and arrows of various shapes in the quiver.
, everything you need.
Although Zhu Yunxi was not good at riding and shooting, he was very knowledgeable in the palace. The bows and arrows in later TV series were all deceptive. The elite soldiers on the battlefield were all wearing iron armor, so they could die with one arrow.
And in order to adapt to different battlefield conditions, deal with different enemies, wind speed, distance, etc., the shapes of the arrows are different.
The armor-breaking awl with a slender triangular tip is specially designed to break heavy armor. The crescent-shaped chisel head can increase the damage area. Shoot it with a heavy bow at close range, and one arrow can make a war horse lie down.
In addition, there are Mitsubishi arrows that cause penetrating wounds and are very lethal. Barbed arrows that cannot be pulled out after being shot into a person's body.
Zhu Di's quiver, the arrow with the thickest shaft, seems to be as big as a copper coin in diameter.
Peiping was the capital of the old Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongols never forget it. Later generations seem to think that the Mongols went to the battlefield wearing leather robes and holding crudely made bows and arrows. It is really ridiculous.
The grassland peoples paid more attention to craftsmen. At that time, the Mongolian cavalry made three expeditions to the west, all the way to the banks of the Danube River.
In Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary and other countries organized heavily armored cavalry, and Germany sent the most elite miner heavy infantry, Teutonic Knights, etc., but they still could not prevent the annihilation of the entire army.
On the other route, they flattened Iran, Afghanistan and other countries, all the way to Egypt. The last caliph of Iraq, Mustaxin, was wrapped in a blanket by the Mongols and trampled to death with war horses.
Could such results be achieved with leather robes and simple bows and arrows?
As early as the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Mongols captured a large number of craftsmen and original high-tech, and used trebuchets, artillery and other weapons on the Western Expedition. At the same time, wherever the army passed, in the cities that dared to resist, all except the craftsmen were executed
.
After hundreds of years of conquest, although the Mongols were still in the form of a tribe, the weapons they used for combat were completely different from those before.
While Zhu Di was in Peiping, he was always facing the last elite of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the heavily armored cavalry with human and horse equipment, and the Liaodong Jurchens in the deep mountains and old forests of Liaodong, holding a tall and heavy bow.
In his eyes, fast horses and light arrows are just childish things. What's the use of shooting the enemy like a hedgehog?
With bows and arrows, one shot must be fatal, that is the kingly way.
Ning Wang Zhu Quan was choked by Zhu Di's rude words, and his face suddenly became a little confused.
But after all, he was also the King of Sai at the border, and he also had some ambitions in his heart. He smiled and said, "Since the fourth brother doesn't want to compete with his younger brother, then let's do this!" After saying that, he jumped off the horse and said, "My younger brother has warriors who are good at fighting. My elder brother has warriors who are good at fighting."
There are also heroes from the North, why don't we let our subordinates give it a try."
Having said this, he casually took off the jade pendant from his waist and asked, "Use this as a lucky draw?"
"My men are all murderous warriors. They know how to kill, let's compete..." Zhu Di politely refused.
But people who watch the excitement are not afraid of big troubles. How could Zhu Yunxi miss this good show?
"Fourth uncle, don't be modest. Who doesn't know that your son is the most elite warrior in the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxi also smiled and took off the jade pendant, "My nephew is joining in the fun. This jade pendant was awarded by the emperor and is used as a bonus today.
"
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi smiled at the surrounding vassal kings and said, "Let us see, who is more powerful, the warriors of Yan Fan or the soldiers of Ning Fan!"
The opportunity to use eye drops and sow discord does not always come. If you encounter it, you can't miss it. Zhu Di doesn't want to compete, and Zhu Yunxi teases Yangzi so that he can't get off the stage, so he must compete.
Ning Fan or Yan Fan, no matter who loses, they will not be able to step down.
At this time, Prince Jin and Prince Jin also joined in the fun. Some took out their swords, and some took off their archery thumbs, and started making noises with Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Di had no choice but to say with a smile, "Okay! Just follow my seventeenth brother!" As he said this, his eyes were shining brightly. Although he wanted to make friends with Prince Ning, his youthful spirit also aroused his desire to win.
"Aslan!" Zhu Quan shouted to the guards, "Come out!" (meaning lion)
After the words fell, a short-skinned Hu warrior with slightly bow-legged legs walked up to King Ning.
"Good soldier!" Zhu Di praised, turned around and said, "Go and call Zhang Fu over!"
