"Reporting to your lord, although the King of Han is suspected of deliberately delaying the military plane, he has not found any excessive behavior. It is also possible that the King of Han was too cautious and did not let me discover it."
Aji reported truthfully.
Zhu Muchen nodded and said that he already knew. In fact, he could have expected this situation. Although it was Zhu Di's intention to temporarily integrate Aji into the King of Han's army, everyone knew that Aji was his confidant, even if the King of Han really
I won’t let Aji know what I want to do.
However, this can be regarded as Zhu Di's way of protecting Zhu Muchen. Zhu Muchen is just a civil servant, so there will inevitably be more dangers on the battlefield. If someone adds fuel to the flames at this time, he is likely to die on the battlefield, and this person who interferes will probably die on the battlefield.
The probability is the King of Han.
Placing the Chu King's confidants in the Han King's army is equivalent to Zhu Di directly telling the Han King, I know all your blind thoughts, but don't think about it, I have someone to keep an eye on you.
No, although the King of Han was restless along the way, he failed to make any particularly big moves, which allowed Zhu Muchen to survive the war safely.
"It's okay, Aji. If it's okay, that's the best happy event. By the way, you may have something to do in the future. The emperor has decided to put all the troops surrendered this time under my account. In the future, training and management will be
Things may require you to worry more."
Hearing Zhu Muchen's words, a smile immediately appeared on Aji's face, and he quickly asked: "My lord, is what you said true? Will you also have military power in the future?"
Zhu Muchen nodded again, looked up, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, although they are all barbarians surrendering, if they are well trained, the barbarians fight bravely and may become an elite army of the Ming Dynasty. But all this,
It all depends on your ability. After you return, I will give advice to the emperor and transfer you back to me so that you will no longer serve in the court."
"My subordinates will definitely live up to the prince's trust and do their best to share the prince's worries."
Aji immediately knelt on the ground, and Zhu Muchen calmly helped him up. While patting the dust on his body, he said softly: "There is no need to say this between the two of us. Let's go and see each other."
Our future subordinates."
The two of them walked slowly on the battlefield, looking at the Tatar soldiers being taken into custody one by one. Aji could not hide his inner excitement.
"My lord, do you have any ideas about the training of these soldiers in the future? What kind of arms do you want to train them into? We are in charge of the manufacturing of fire guns, or should we train them like the Shenji Battalion?"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Muchen shook his head directly and said: "No, the Shenji Battalion can be said to be the emperor's own soldiers. If we train the same soldiers, we might be suspected of treason. In this sensitive period, we must not
Do something like this.”
"Your Majesty is right, but I didn't think it through thoroughly."
Zhu Muchen didn't pay much attention to Aji's apology. He wanted to build a group of militarized troops equipped with thermal weapons for himself, but for this era, it was really too advanced. Even if he built everything himself, he would probably
Before you can equip yourself, you will die at the hands of unknown people.
Therefore, at this stage, although we need to strengthen our own strength, we cannot do it too hastily and make too many people feel threatened.
"Actually, my idea about the training direction of these people is very simple. Most of the Oara and Tatar soldiers are cavalry and are familiar with cavalry warfare. If you want to make them combat effective as soon as possible, you only need to train them in the direction of cavalry.
, in the early stage of training, we still need to cultivate their loyalty and belief, and don’t rush into other things.”
"I understand. After I go back, I will make a good training plan. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Aji is very attentive to training. After all, this is Zhu Muchen's first regular army. He must not take it lightly. If the training is not good and the combat effectiveness is low, it may become a point for others to attack the King of Chu. He does not want to do it because of himself.
And let the King of Chu get into trouble.
As he walked, Zhu Muchen saw from the corner of his eye that the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu in the distance seemed to be stopping and looking at him, and his heart suddenly sank a little more. This Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be unwilling to get rid of him, and he felt uneasy.
"Aji, you should pay more attention to your arrangements in the future. These soldiers were snatched by the Emperor from the King of Han. He will definitely find ways to destroy them during training in the future. You must be more careful."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely pay more attention. The King of Han has been targeting us for more than a day or two. He has never succeeded. He will not be your opponent in the future, Your Majesty."
"Aji, I don't want to be an enemy of the King of Han. After all, we are all subjects of the Ming Dynasty. We have to think about the Ming Dynasty. You don't have to be too hostile to him, just be more careful."
Although the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu is always targeting him, Zhu Muchen knows that the enemy of the King of Han has always been the prince. Zhu Di's most taboo is brotherly fratricide. Zhu Muchen does not want to get into trouble with this. Zhu Gaoxu will naturally have the prince Zhu Gaochi to deal with him in the future.
, you don’t need to worry too much.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu in the distance kept staring at Zhu Muchen. He knew that Zhu Muchen was inspecting the Tatar surrender at the moment, and those who were supposed to be his subordinates now all became Zhu Muchen's. This made him
How can you not hate it?
"Second brother, what are you doing here? Let's go. After we won the battle, the old man specially allowed us to reward the soldiers. We brothers also went to have a drink."
Zhu Gaojiu slowly came over with a wine jar in hand, completely unaware of Zhu Gaojiu's mood at this time.
"Drink, drink, drink. You know how to drink. What's happening now, you still have the energy to drink."
Zhu Gaoxu shouted coldly, holding the hilt of the sword and making a creaking sound, which was enough to show how angry he was in his heart at this time.
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui came up and looked at Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu's face, and probably guessed why he was angry at this time.
"Second brother, please don't be angry. That was the emperor's personal order to give all the surrendered soldiers to Zhu Muchen. What's the use of being angry again? You can still go against the emperor's wishes and rob these soldiers."
?”
Zhu Gaoxu turned back and glared at him, and said fiercely: "Aside from hindsight, what else will you do? I didn't know that it was ordered by the emperor himself? I want you to remind me?"
Zhu Gaosui felt helpless, raised the wine jar in his hand, and replied weakly: "Second brother, I'm not reminding you, I'm just advising you not to be angry. Even if you give him this group of Tatar soldiers, what's the big deal?"
What's the use? He's just a civil servant with no experience in leading troops. In the end, if he fails to train, he has to leave it to you, second brother. Second brother, you don't have to worry."
Listening to his calm words, Zhu Gaoxu sighed helplessly, looked into his eyes and asked: "Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand? Is it really possible that these soldiers will be poorly trained in Zhu Muchen's hands?
Will the emperor let him train poorly?"
Zhu Gaoxu withdrew his gaze, looked in the direction of the tent, and suddenly said in a low voice: "You and I both know in our hearts that the emperor is using Zhu Muchen to restrain the two of us, so that we don't dare to do anything to the prince.
"
Zhu Gaosui patted Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder, looking a little lonely.
"Second brother, as the eldest brother is the prince, it is normal for the emperor to take some care of him. You see, eldest brother does not have much military power in his hands. It is normal for the emperor to be worried about the two of us. Don't think too much about it."
Zhu Gaojiu was silent for a while, and in the end there was only a heavy sigh. He took the wine jar from Zhu Gaosui's hand and walked towards the distance with a lonely expression.
"In the end, he chose his eldest son."
What you say about you being the most like me is just a way to comfort yourself. Old man, I have followed you in many battles since I was a child, and have made countless military exploits. Is it really that I am not as good as Zhu Gaochi who was born a little longer?
Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhu Di in his heart, and at the same time he was asking himself. How good brothers he and Zhu Gaochi were. If Zhu Di hadn't been hinting that he was the same as Zhu Di for so many years, giving him the ambition to be an emperor, he would have been able to rest assured.
Be a good younger brother to your elder brother.
The prince is often sick, so you should encourage him. Haha, it's just a joke.
Zhu Gaosui glanced at Zhu Muchen from a distance, and quickly followed Zhu Gaoxu.
After cleaning the battlefield for a whole day, in the early morning of the next day, Zhu Di rode a tall horse and stood at the front of the army. Although they had just experienced a big battle, the soldiers at this time were all in high morale and majestic.
"My fellow soldiers, I know you are all exhausted after a series of fierce battles, but at this time, we cannot rest. We still have very important things to do. We are going to pick the final fruits of our victory, and we are going to announce to everyone
, we have won! This land will belong to our Ming Dynasty for generations to come!
Soldiers! Dust off your bodies, stand tall, and set off with me!"
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
…
The voices among the soldiers rose one after another and spread throughout the grassland. Zhu Di turned around on his horse and took the lead towards the Tatar and Oara tribes.
The army had been defeated, and the remaining old, weak, women, and children of the Tatars and Oaras all gave up resistance. When they saw the Ming army arriving, they all came out of their tents to greet them.
Zhu Di did not make things difficult for them, and even gave them a chance to meet their relatives. Of course, those relatives who had died on the battlefield had nothing to do.
After Zhu Di arranged for people to guard the Oara and Tatar tribes, he took Zhu Muchen and others to the holy land in the grassland, Langjuxu Mountain.
It is the dream of many military generals to seal the wolf and live in Xu. Before Zhu Di, only a few people came here, and now, he has also come here.
