The Ming Dynasty had two million soldiers, and it was not uncommon for people with natural powers like Zhu Ying.
Whether it's the Jinyi Guard, the Xuanjia Guard, or the Xiaoling Guard, there are some of them.
But the key is the different identities.
This is the grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
The corners of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyes were twitching. Such physical quality was rare in Japan for a hundred years.
At the same time, it also means that the life span of the grandson of the Ming Dynasty is not short. Not to mention a lot, there is no problem in living to seventy or eighty years old.
The next fifty years of Ming Dynasty will be under his control.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimochi's eyes also lit up, and even in the stands, he had more ideas.
On the other hand, most of the Japanese nobles could not help but admire the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
The Japanese country itself has the habit of worshiping the strong. For those who are far stronger than themselves, their worship will not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
The eyes of some Japanese ladies who were watching the ceremony were full of excitement and desire.
"Princess Xiangzi can marry the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and she must be living a very happy life now."
"That's for sure. The great grandson of the Ming Dynasty is so strong. Princess Xiangzi must live a life like a fairy."
"Have you read the residence report of the capital of the Ming Dynasty? The prosperity of the capital is simply not comparable to that of our Japanese country. I really want to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
The women of the Japanese aristocracy suddenly became very interested in the Ming Dynasty, especially the Japanese aristocratic girls. Their eyes were filled with joy when they looked at the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and they were full of jealousy for being able to marry Princess Xiangzi of the Ming Dynasty.
It is impossible to marry the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, but the possibility of marrying an outstanding soldier of the Ming Dynasty is very high.
The nobles of the Japanese country basically knew that soldiers from the Ming Dynasty would usually be rotated back after being stationed for a few years, so wouldn't they be able to follow them to live in the Ming Dynasty?
The daily notes in the newspaper are really fascinating.
In the hearts of most Japanese nobles, the life of the Ming Dynasty nobles was far beyond their comparison. Even the Japanese royal family was not as noble as the Ming Dynasty.
In the hunting ground, Zhu Ying was naturally the focus of everyone's attention.
I haven't done it for a long time, so I'm still a bit unfamiliar with it. Fortunately, the first shot hit directly, and there was no embarrassing situation.
Once you get a little familiar with it, you'll feel better about it.
The whole hunting ground next is Zhu Ying's solo performance moment.
With Zhu Ying's strength, it is normal for the arrows to hit the target without missing a beat.
When shooting from atop a war horse, you will surely gain something every time you bend your bow and place an arrow.
Shouts of exclamation continued throughout the hunting ground.
In itself, Zhu Ying's physical fitness has reached its peak.
It's just a matter of strength alone, but such precision is no longer accessible to ordinary people. To put it simply, it's a skill that is close to the Taoist.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was already breaking out in cold sweat at this time.
He did not expect that the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty would have such superb and terrifying archery skills.
For the Japanese country, firearms are basically not widely spread now, and the key to war still lies in cold weapons.
Zhu Ying's superb archery skills are simply the leader's nemesis.
The general is the core of the army. Once the general dies unexpectedly, the entire army will collapse.
If someone like Zhu Ying appeared on the battlefield, which general would dare to show up?
Especially the two-stone hard bow, its super long range is enough to dominate the battlefield.
In fact, this is also the case. In the Western Regions, Zhu Ying relied on this hand archery to easily conquer a large number of tribes, and many warriors were willing to follow a strong man like Zhu Ying.
When the hunting was over, all the Japanese nobles looked at Zhu Ying with completely different eyes.
"You haven't seen how majestic His Highness Taisun is on the hunting ground. Oh my god, I was right next to His Highness Taisun back then."
"That's a hard bow worth two stones. Guess what happened? Hey, it turned into a full moon with just one pull."
"This is natural divine power. That's all. But do you know what happened next?"
Among the Xuanjia Guards, there was a soldier who was hunting with Zhu Ying and told his colleagues.
But when it comes to this critical point, I immediately shut up.
"Why did you stop? Don't show off, it's the exciting time."
"Say it quickly, but it makes me anxious to death."
Suddenly everyone was clamoring and urging.
Any topic about His Highness Taisun is the most interesting among the military, not to mention that it is the first time for Taisun of the Ming Dynasty to show force.
You must know that in the minds of most soldiers in the army, what they know about His Royal Highness Taisun is the royal style. How can the style of a Confucian general have anything to do with a rude and powerful general?
But those who admire the most in the army are the generals who charge bravely.
Now the grandson is a model of both civil and military skills, which is not surprising.
"I'm a little thirsty."
"The tea is here, tell me quickly. You should tell me quickly."
"Why are you urging me? Wait until I finish drinking."
After finishing the drink, he continued: "You didn't see the scene at that time. It happened that a wild boar broke in."
"His Royal Highness Taisun didn't hesitate at all. He shot the arrow immediately."
"Good guy, the powerful force brought with it the sound of whistling wind. When I turned around to look again, the head of the wild boar was directly pierced. It was really shocking."
"If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this is actually our great grandson. He is so majestic!"
Discussions like this quickly spread throughout the Ming army.
The army is a place that worships the strong, not to mention the noble Taisun. There are already a large number of soldiers who fanatically believe in Taisun.
Not only the Ming army, but also the Japanese country.
This mythical figure appeared in front of the Japanese nobles, and most of the Japanese nobles had no intention of going against the Ming Dynasty.
Not only the soldiers of the Ming army were affected, but the Japanese nobles, including the four major vassal kings, were also shocked.
"My eldest nephew must have hidden it too deeply. He actually has such a powerful force. When he was in the palace, he couldn't even see it at all."
"My father also asked a group of royal guards to protect him. I think this is the eldest nephew protecting the royal guards."
Zhu Fan smacked his tongue and sighed, thinking back to the hunting that happened during the day, he couldn't believe it now.
Not only Zhu Fan, but also Zhu Xi and Zhu Di grew up in military camps. They have a deep understanding of such force and understand what it means on the battlefield.
Zhu Su, on the other hand, said, "What a waste. My grandson is so good at archery and has innate divine power. If he were to lead an army, who could compete with him? He would be invincible in every attack."
"But our great grandson of the Ming Dynasty is destined to have this skill that can only be hidden in the snow, and has no place to use it at all."
Speaking of this, Zhu Fu said with some admiration: "I really want to see how spectacular it is when His Highness Taisun leads the expedition in person."
Zhu Fang shook his head slightly: "The skill of our eldest nephew is not reflected in an individual. No matter how powerful one person is, what's the use? Look at the Ming soldiers today, they are completely different from before."
"Many of the soldiers I brought with me to Japan this time were trained by my eldest nephew. Most of the soldiers were also led by students who graduated from the Ming Dynasty Military Academy. They can be said to have truly fulfilled the orders and prohibitions."
"Even those veterans of hundreds of battles may not have such strong combat effectiveness, and there are so many military orders. Even if I gave the order to massacre the city, they were a little reluctant, but they still completed it firmly."
"This is much more important than personal force."
Zhu Xi's words made several feudal princes, especially Zhu Di, fall into silence.
The meaning of these words seemed to be praising Zhu Ying, but from a deeper perspective, the soldiers they led belonged to Taisun, not to them personally.
Several feudal kings were aware of this scene when Zhu Ying arrived in Japan.
They could feel that if Zhu Ying was in their military camp, there would be no need for tiger talismans or transfer orders. He only needed to give an order, and all the soldiers would directly obey his orders.
This situation is not rare, but almost all soldiers have this tendency.
This is almost impossible to do in the army, but it happened that Zhu Ying did it.
From another perspective, if Zhu Ying wants to take away the military power in their hands, he only needs one sentence.
Even if this is overseas, even if it's in their vassal country.
"This is my great fortune."
After a long time, Zhu Di slowly spoke.
Zhu Fan opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to refute the fourth child.
This has become his habit. As long as the fourth child is around, no matter what he says, he will ridicule him.
But this time, after Zhu Fan opened his mouth slightly, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
This involves His Royal Highness Taisun, and there are certain things that cannot be said carelessly.
Zhu Di noticed Zhu Fan's strange movements, but did not pay attention to his thoughts.
As for the thing between me and my second brother, from the initial irritation to now it doesn't matter anymore.
Every time Zhu Fan mocked Zhu Di, Zhu Di just thought he had been bitten by a dog.
What's the matter, bite him back.
Wouldn't that be just like a dog?
After doing this for too many times, Zhu Di became numb and could completely ignore Zhu Fan.
It's just that he doesn't feel very good right now.
When Zhu Di was very young, he felt that apart from his father, he had the strongest military talent, and his huge achievements also proved this.
The appearance of Zhu Ying gave him a feeling of being enlightened and unparalleled.
Even if you can easily restrain him politically, the problem of the feudal lord, which has been a serious problem since ancient times, will be solved so easily.
I, the vassal kings who were the emperor's uncles, were easily transferred out of the vassal territory and came overseas to fight for the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't have much to say.
Those idle princes who stayed in the Ming Dynasty naturally had no ability to resist, so they could be said to have used their talents to the fullest.
Now that his achievements in the military are so high, his personal force value is still so outrageous. It is simply outrageous.
After chatting for a few words, the feudal princes lost their thoughts and could only disperse.
"He wants to see me?"
Zhu Ying asked curiously.
Just now, Guo Zhong reported that Ashikaga Yoshimochi, son of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the current shogunate of Japan, wanted to see the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty outside the palace.
"If I remember correctly, this Ashikaga Yoshimochi is only in his teens. Did he come with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?"
Guo Zhongdao said, "Reporting to Your Highness, Ashikaga Yoshimichi came alone, with only two guards around him. What if he was an old slave who refused?"
If Ashikaga Yoshimochi hadn't insisted on requesting an audience with His Highness the Grand Sun as the shogun, Guo Zhong would not have even wanted to report it.
It's just that although the other party is young, he is also a serious Japanese shogun. He comes to greet him seriously. Even if His Highness Taisun is likely to be missing, he has to report it first.
Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Let him come in. I would like to see this little guy sneaking up to me so late and wanting to say something."
It was already dark, and it must be Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who came here at this time. Zhu Ying naturally had some guesses in his mind.
I thought it was unlikely at first, but maybe it would be nice to meet.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi was extremely excited after receiving the permission, and immediately trotted to the main hall.
Seeing the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, she knelt down and bowed in a great ceremony: "I, the minister of the small country Ashikaga Yoshimachi, pay my respects to His Highness the Grandson of the Great Kingdom."
Ashikaga Yoshimochi's Chinese was pretty good, and his pronunciation was clear, much better than that of ordinary Japanese nobles.
"No gifts, just a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
According to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshimachi sat with only half his buttocks, which made him a little uncomfortable because he was tall and thin.
"There's no need to be formal, just sit down and answer."
Although the lighting was dim, Zhu Ying's eyesight was good and he could see clearly clearly. He didn't have to worry about such a half-year-old child.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshimochi moved a little, but the seats were not full.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimochi was very nervous and his palms were sweating. When he was face to face with the Ming Dynasty Grandson, he seemed to have forgotten all the words he had prepared. There was only a blank in his head. He didn't know how to speak.
After all, he was only in his teens, and Zhu Ying's brave performance during the day had already made him have a strong sense of admiration in his heart, which also led to the current tension.
"It's so late, the shogunate came to ask for an audience with me, but what do you want to say?" Seeing this, Zhu Ying took the lead and asked.
Ashikaga Yoshi kept his pressure steady, and then his head became hot and he knelt down again: "I was shocked and impressed by His Highness the Grandson's bravery today, so much so that I couldn't recover for a long time."
"I am young and admire the bravery of His Highness Taisun. I have a whim and want to be my adoptive father. I would like to ask Your Highness Taisun to grant you permission."
Zhu Ying was stunned. He really didn't expect that this teenage Ashikaga Yoshinori would worship him as his adopted father.
Got a godson for nothing?
In fact, in terms of status, Ashikaga Yoshitomichi is the future shogun, equivalent to the actual controller of the Japanese country. Not only does he have this qualification, but he has also surrendered his status.
Of course, Zhu Ying also knew very well that Ashikaga Yoshimichi wanted to use his identity to seek greater power in the Japanese country.
Zhu Ying somewhat appreciates that Kankan has such scheming and courage in his teens.
