Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 212 I really don't know if I am the king, are you Jin Yiwei?
"Let's see that Yang Lu is very warm and sincere to us, and he is a queen of Zhongliang, and he still has some relationship with the palace."

"And he has a big heart. He even told us about his shortcomings. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a villain, does he?"

Chang Mao said.

"Brother Chang, don't be fooled by him." Zhu Su sneered. "It's just a glib, superficial skill."

"Jiujiang has already informed me of all these dude's tricks. This Yang Lu is only the second generation ancestor who relies on his father's shadow, so he dares to use such tricks against me."

"If he is really a loyal general, how could the military guards put out such a sumptuous banquet, which is a hundred times and a thousand times richer than the banquet invited by Wei Zhifu."

"If he is really loyal, when I said I would borrow him a military talisman, why was his forehead sweating, and he even spilled half of the cup of tea?"

"If he is really open-minded, and can even talk about his own shortcomings, why can't he even tolerate the surrendered soldiers under his command, and call those soldiers to the school yard overnight to guard and punish them?"

Zhu Su smiled disdainfully. "In my Ming army, is it possible that there are fewer generals and soldiers?"

"It's not the same. In southern Xinjiang and Mobei, I have established countless achievements for my Ming Dynasty."

"But he, Yang Lu, is cautious, so why not surrender?"

This is the truth, Daming has such a big stall now, if he only relied on the soldiers and horses he had when he started his business, how could he be able to play around?

Among the leading generals of the Ming Dynasty, many were descended generals.For example, Fu Youde, who was thriving during the Northern Expedition, and Zhu Liangzu, the father of Zhu Siam, who Zhu Su had previously beheaded, were both generals who were surrendered generals but held military power.

Lao Zhu has never been afraid of surrendering people, and even has a special hobby of surrendering the enemy.Like Wang Baobao, he loves it very much but can't get it.In order to let Wang Baobao know how sincerely he loves talents, he even asked Zhu Su's second brother Zhu Xi to marry Wang Baobao's younger sister as his concubine.In the future, it is even said that Naha Chu, Naier Buhua and others who were descended from the Yuan Dynasty were all entrusted with the title of Marquis, which is unequivocal.

"So, that person surnamed Yang is coaxing us?" Chang Mao was taken aback.

"That's not true." Zhu Su snorted coldly. "The left and right are just trying to coax me to wait, so that we don't want to meddle in his affairs."

"He is indeed a little clever, guessing that those water bandits are the remnants of Zhang Shicheng. Presumably, he was intimidated by Zhang Shicheng's name."

"If he is so brave after knowing his shame like that, why did Zhifu Wei say that he shied away from sending troops on the grounds that the army's morale was unstable?"

"From my point of view, he doesn't want to send troops at all, he just wants to hold the city securely. Be his commander of the Suzhou Guard."

"Let's just wait and see, if the water bandits really raise their flags, this guy will definitely use the excuse of protecting the city to close the city and wait for help."

"Isn't this fear of war?" Chang Mao's eyes widened.

"If a bandit really raises the flag, he is also a foresight. He didn't fall into the trick of the bandit to divert the tiger away from the mountain and saved the city. He is not afraid of war." Zhu Su said. "If that time really comes, maybe he will still ask for credit."

"This thief!" Chang Mao was furious, and resumed his earlier resentment towards Yang Lu. "Sure enough, let us screw his bird's head! With this thief holding him back, how can Zhang Shicheng's remnants be forgiven?"

"Brother Chang, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!" Zhu Su hurriedly stopped Chang Mao who asked the driver to turn the car around. "Take another bird... Bah, there is no benefit in taking his life."

"I see that all the thousands of households under his command are also sycophants."

"There are raging generals, with such a general, how can the soldiers below be better?"

"I'm afraid that most of the soldiers who were good at fighting were taken to the west by Wu Liang, the former Marquis of Jiangyin, to suppress the rebellion. These soldiers should be recruited temporarily, and even this Yang Lu sold his vacancies to earn money and come in to hold an iron job. Even if he seized the military power , such a group of guys may not be of much use. We also committed a taboo for no reason."

The military households in the Ming Dynasty were hereditary. From the early to the middle period, they were all resounding iron rice bowls, and most of them were crowded and broke their heads and wanted to get in.Zhu Su is well aware of the harm of the military household system in the future, so he naturally knows how much profit can be made from the quota of military households.

"Since that's the case, it's better to win over these unreserved soldiers. In addition to the Taicang Guards in the west, Zhang Shicheng's remnants are really causing trouble. It's enough to calm down."

"I'll write another letter and send it to my father, please ask him to make arrangements early."

"It's just that it's cheaper for the surname Yang!" Chang Mao was still indignant, his face flushed. "It turned out that acting was on our head. It almost deceived us..."

"Uh……"

Zhu Su could only smile wryly.This elder brother Chang may indeed have the boldness of Chang Yuchun.

But the insight and cunning displayed by Chang Yuchun Baizhan, the eldest son of the prince, has not inherited at all...

The next day, Zhu Su was having breakfast in the Shen Garden when Di Meng, the captain of King Wu's guard, came in with his helmet on and his armor on. "Your Highness, there is a letter from the Suzhou Guards sending a seal of soldiers."

"The thousand-man team that Yandao lent us to build the dam has now been sent outside the city for repairs. As long as we go with the military amulet, we can mobilize the thousand-man team at any time."

"Well, I see." Zhu Su nodded, took a sip of soy milk and said.The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in this sunken garden are quite different from those in the wilderness or Bifeng Huangzhuang.It was rare for Zhu Su to lie down and fall asleep last night, but today he was very energetic.

Di Meng hesitated for a while, and asked Zhu Su, "Your Highness, are you going to the military camp outside the city to receive these thousand people?"

"It's not urgent. Let's go to the west of the city first to see what's going on with the victims in Suzhou," Zhu Su said. "The current Xunhe Yushi is that old-fashioned Ru Taisu?"

"Well, this king has always been at odds with this old guy. This time, it will take a lot of lip service to join hands with him in disaster relief..."

"Your Highness and the Crown Prince have no grievances at all. It all started because of Hu Weiyong's expertise. Master Ru will definitely understand and won't embarrass His Highness again." Di Meng bowed.

"If this is the best... I'm afraid he will still be suspicious and make his own decisions." Zhu Su took a bite of the fritters.

"These old guys are the most headstrong. The truth is in front of them, and they still believe what they imagined in their minds."

"I said that my eldest brother and I are brothers and sisters, but he might still not believe it. If he makes it difficult for me to embarrass me again, it's really hard to say." Zhu Su said to himself.Suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Di Meng: "By the way, Di Meng, I have two things that I want you to do."

"Your Highness, please speak, the general will listen." Di Meng replied.

"The first thing, the 1000 people, you guys should send someone to train them first." Zhu Su said.

"You don't have to follow your standards at that time, just teach them how to obey, and lead them to do your usual morning exercises, that's all."

"In addition, let them practice the mandarin duck formation. It may be useful in suppressing bandits in the future. They must have some strength for a battle, right?"

"Yes, the last general will take orders." Di Meng immediately agreed.

"There's one more..." Zhu Su wiped his oily mouth. "Use the connections behind you to find out all the information about the remnants of Zhang Shicheng in Suzhou City for this king."

"It's the so-called knowing yourself and the enemy. It's no longer the time to hide those news. It's time to bring it out, let me and Brother Chang and the others go into details..."

Hearing this, Di Meng's face turned pale: "Your Highness...what do you mean by your Highness' words?"

"The last general... There is no relationship behind the last general..."

"There is no outsider here. For this king, there is no need to hide the truth like this?" After wiping his mouth, Zhu Su raised his head and looked straight at the battlefield orphan who was first recruited to his command. The most brave and loyal young man who quickly stood out from hundreds of people.

"It's true that the king doesn't know that you were born in Jinyiwei under Mao Xiang?"
