Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 186 Great victory! (4k)

Beijing.

Although it was Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to let Zhu Di go out with the army.

But that was Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Which father in the world would trust his son to go into battle to kill the enemy.

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang is not exempt from vulgarity.

Empress Ma even complained about Zhu Yuanzhang because of this incident.

The entire court's attention was focused on the battlefield in the north.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

On this day, an urgent military intelligence report was sent all the way from the north to Nanjing via rail train.

After Zhu Biao got the report, he glanced at it and his face showed joy.

He got up and walked to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in person, even without having to drive.

All the way up, your steps are light.

The joy in my heart is self-evident. It is obvious that the military intelligence report just now must be very good news.

As parents, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were worried about Zhu Di.

How could he not be worried as an elder brother?

When he arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Biao found that Zhu Yuanzhang was lying on the armchair and had fallen asleep. He was obviously exhausted.

The accompanying chamberlain saw Zhu Biao coming and wanted to step forward to inform Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Biao raised his hand to stop him.

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and was about to turn around and leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Boss." Zhu Yuanzhang stretched, opened his eyes, and said. "There is a military report."

After hearing the military report, the accompanying chamberlain immediately waved his hand, telling all the chamberlains and maids in the palace to retreat, and he followed suit.

"First victory in the north!" Zhu Biao showed a smile on his face and reached out to hand over the military report in his hand. "And it was the fourth brother who won it."

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's remaining sleepiness disappeared.

He reached out to take the military newspaper and opened it, raising the corners of his mouth to reveal Lao Huai's comforting smile.

This is the reaction that all fathers in the world will have after learning about their children's future.

"Boss." Zhu Yuanzhang closed the military report in his hand and suddenly said
"Father." Zhu Biao responded.

"Fourth, I will definitely be your rightful helper in the future." Zhu Yuanzhang kept hitting the palm of his left hand with the military report on his right hand and said with a smile. "Father and son fight, father and son fight. It's really a good thing."

"I want to see what those guys have to say by then."

Zhu Biao also laughed.

The father is kind and the son is filial, and the brothers and sisters are respectful.

If Zhu Biao is there, then the Ming Dynasty will be there.

"Boss, please help me read the remaining memorials. I'll go to your mother's place. She's been very worried these days. When I was out fighting the enemy, I never saw her so worried."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up, took the military report in his hand, and walked to Kunning Palace.

The entire reaction was exactly the same as Zhu Biao's before.

Kunning Palace.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law!"

Before anyone entered the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help shouting loudly.

In front of Zhu Biao and Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a father and a husband.

But when he walked into the hall, the air immediately solidified, and the smile on his face froze.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that besides Queen Ma, there were other people in the palace.

"Yuemin, I have met the emperor." Wang Yuemin, who had been chatting happily with Queen Ma just now, obviously did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would come in directly, and in this way.

Wang Yuemin quickly stood up and saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said to Wang Yuemin: "Go and sit over there in the East Palace. The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubine are very boring on weekdays, so you can give them the new gadgets Ming Ji has given them. Send it."

"Yes, the Empress." Wang Yuemin stood up, bowed respectfully to Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang again, and then exited the hall.

He waited until Wang Yuemin had gone far.

Zhu Yuanzhang then said: "Why did you let her come here?"

Queen Ma first poured Zhu Yuanzhang a cup of tea with her own hands and said, "Is it because the two sides are at war?"

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang said bluntly.

"Then have you ever thought about how Wang Yuemin lives in the palace these days, and in what capacity he lives, the princess of the Qianyuan Dynasty? It's not like you don't know what the servants in the palace are like."

"My family is all in the north, and a girl is lonely and helpless in the palace. If I don't stand up and speak out, she may have to suffer many more nails."

Queen Ma looked at the direction Wang Yuemin left, sighed softly, and said, "She is a good girl, but it is a pity that she is not destined to be the second child in our family."

"Well, that's what you think." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Tianjia's selfless affairs, if it weren't for Yang Xian's sudden rise, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the conquest of Mobei was just around the corner.

Even if Zhu Xi is no longer willing to marry Wang Yuemin, Wang Yuemin is no longer willing to marry.

In order to tie up Wang Baobao, Zhu Yuanzhang would also force the cow to drink water.

Wuqing is the emperor's family, that's what they say.

In the original time and space, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang did.

In order to recruit Wang Baobao to surrender, Zhu Yuanzhang married Wang Yuemin to his second son Zhu Cang as a royal concubine.

A marriage without emotion is destined to be unhappy.

In particular, the person Zhu Xi really liked was the daughter of Wei Guogong Deng Yu. Therefore, although Wang Yuemin was the concubine, she was not favored by Zhu Xi.

But Deng, whom Zhu Ming loved, turned out to be a mean and vicious woman. Under her instigation.

The royal concubine, Wang Yuemin, lives in a separate place and delivers rice and food every day with empty utensils.Food, drink, etc., fresh fruits and trees are all not clean and quiet, they are all in the same secluded state!

After Zhu Ping's death, Wang Yuemin had to be buried in the end.

This ended her miserable life.

In this time and space, Wang Yuemin's life trajectory has obviously been completely changed because of Yang Xian.

"At this time, aren't you usually in the Hall of Supreme Harmony reviewing memorials? Why did you come back?" Empress Ma said with a smile.

"I almost forgot about the business." Zhu Yuanzhang recovered his thoughts and handed over the military report in his hand. "Military report from the north."

After hearing the military report from the north, Queen Ma immediately reached out and took it.

"Is there any news about the fourth child?"

"Come on, look back." Looking at Queen Ma's anxious expression, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, stretched out his hand and pointed, and said. "We have to go back, here!" "It's good that the fourth child is fine." Queen Ma said with a smile on her face.

"Lao Si led his troops to kill five thousand enemies, and also beheaded Wang Baobao's fierce general Nai'er Buhua. He was the one who made the first contribution to the Northern Expedition. He is worthy of being our son!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said. .

The two most famous dynasties for beheading on the battlefield were the Qin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty mainly evaluated military merit based on the number of beheadings on the battlefield, and the number of beheadings was not only useful for promotions. It could also redeem relatives, exonerate oneself, and other functions. It was simply a magical weapon. Out of the desire for military merit, The Qin army's combat effectiveness is quite strong.

Another dynasty that judged military merit based on the number of beheadings was the Ming Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, unlike in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, large-scale overseas operations frequently occurred. Therefore, the standard for measuring military merit was a balance between battle merit and first merit.

The first merit refers to the number of beheadings. Of course, the number of heads can be the most intuitive measure of a soldier's performance on the battlefield.

The reason why in the early Ming Dynasty the theory of first merit was not entirely exclusive, but military merit and first merit were considered in parallel, because recording merit by beheading also had its flaws.

The first is to delay the attack, and the second is to cause a fight for credit.

The third is to take credit.Heads are so important, so when the army goes out to fight, it is not impossible for them to kill a few civilians and steal a few heads.Especially when fighting outside the fortress, the Mongolian cavalry came and went erratically and was difficult to contain, but the old, weak, women and children in the rear did not move so quickly. This was the so-called "burning wasteland".

Of course, no matter what, the first achievement is the most direct and powerful evidence.

Moreover, the prices of the heads are also different. They are divided into four grades. The most valuable heads are called Beilu, which refers to the Mongolian tribe. The second-grade heads are called Liaodong Nüzhi, which refers to the Jurchen tribe. The first level is the head of the southwestern barbarians, and the fourth level is the rebels from the interior.

Therefore, Zhu Di's merit is indeed great.

It was loud enough to silence the dissenting voices in the court.

On the other side, on the Mobei grassland.

The war continues.

But now, the offense and defense have changed.

The prairie cavalry that originally hung out outside Peiping City every day had long disappeared.

Now, on the contrary, Zhu Di takes his brothers from the Shenji Battalion out to fight the Mongolian Tatars almost every day.

On this day, Zhu Di fought another beautiful battle and annihilated a small group of rangers.

But now the Mongolian cavalry, after experiencing the power of Hongwu rifles several times on the battlefield, have learned well.

It will no longer be like at the beginning, rushing towards each other all at once, and running away when the situation is bad.

Of course, just to figure this out, they had already sacrificed countless lives of prairie soldiers.

Zhu Di slapped the Hongwu rifle in his hand with some boredom: "This battle is getting more and more boring."

Looking at the small group of Mongolian rangers in front of me, when I saw them, I was like a rabbit seeing a wolf, and started to run away crazily.

The Mongols don't seem to be as powerful as Father and others.

Zhu Di once had such an illusion in his heart.

He was just thinking about whether to go all out and annihilate a main force of Wang Baobao today.

Suddenly the sound of drums sounded behind him.

This is the sound of retreating troops.

Zhu Di looked at the Mongolian rangers who were fleeing ahead and were about to disappear from his sight. He looked back at the direction of his own army. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only withdraw his troops.

Zhu Di was still able to handle important matters clearly, and did not let his eagerness to make meritorious deeds directly defeat his reason.

This time Yang Xian finally came out of Beiping City.

He led his army behind Zhu Di and the others.

Zhu Di turned his horse around, led his troops, and went back to meet the main force. He also walked up the high slope and came to Yang Xian's side. As soon as they met, he said: "Commander, what are you doing with those more than a hundred Mongolian rangers just now?" Don’t let me continue chasing.”

Yang Xian put down the animal-patterned brass tube in his hand, looked up at Zhu Di, and said, "There is an ambush behind."

"Ambush? How did the commander decide?" Zhu Di asked doubtfully.

He didn't realize there was an ambush ahead.

In Zhu Di's view, the sudden encounter with the Mongolian Rangers just now was an accidental incident, because he had encountered such a situation many times in these days.

Zhu Di had not encountered the ambush situation that Yang Xian mentioned.

"Conclusion? What I saw with my own eyes can be false?" Yang Xian said with a smile.

"See it with your own eyes? Why didn't I see anything?" Yang Xian's words confused Zhu Di.

"You don't have a telescope, so of course you can't see anything." Yang Xian raised the brass tube in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and chuckled.

From the first moment he saw Yang Xian, Zhu Di had already noticed the brass tube in Yang Xian's hand, and he was also curious about what it was.

"This brass tube in the commander's hand is the telescope you are talking about?" Zhu Di asked.

"Your Highness, you might as well see it with your own eyes and know whether what I just said is wrong."

Yang Xian smiled and nodded, and at the same time handed over the telescope in his hand.

Zhu Di reached out to take it, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.

Yang Xian introduced: "The telescope in Your Highness's hand has lenses embedded at both ends. The larger one is the objective lens, which uses a convex lens similar to reading glasses. The other small one is the eyepiece, which uses a concave lens similar to reading glasses."

"Your Highness just needs to put his eyes on the end of the eyepiece, then raise the telescope and aim it in the direction where the Mongolian rangers fled just now, and everything will be clear."

Zhu Di picked up the telescope in his hand, put his right eye on the eyepiece, and then followed Yang Xian's guidance to point the objective lens in the direction in which the Mongolian rangers left.

"what!"

When Zhu Di saw it, he screamed and suddenly looked away.

If Yang Xian hadn't been prepared, he would have dropped the telescope to the ground.

"How could this happen?" Zhu Di said with a pale face, pointing to the north. "Why do those Mongolian rangers seem to be right in front of me!"

You must know that the team of rangers had disappeared from his sight just now. Could it be that they came back again? !

Zhu Di put down the telescope, rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look. He found that he was still in the Ming army camp unchanged, and there was no sign of the Mongolian rangers in front of him.

what is happening.

"Because the telescope in His Highness's hand can see things thousands of miles away." Yang Xian smiled and then said. "Your Highness, you can lift the telescope up and look further into the distance."

With Yang Xian's introduction and explanation, Zhu Di calmed down.

Only then did I finally understand the true meaning of the three words telescope.

Following Yang Xian's instructions, he raised the telescope and looked farther away.

Soon, he discovered the Mongolian soldiers ambushing in the grassland further away, and he could even see the fierce expression on the other party's face clearly.

Zhu Di turned around with the telescope and quickly made a judgment. There were tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers ambushing in the distance.

Although they were well hidden, they still did not escape the detection of the telescope.

Zhu Di was frightened when he thought about the consequences if he led his brothers from the Shenji Battalion to catch up.

Cold sweat broke out immediately, and the lining inside the armor was soaked with sweat.

"I didn't lie to Your Highness, there really is an ambush ahead." Yang Xian said with a smile.
