My Daming New Empire

If he wasn't only 16 years old and still growing, he wouldn't be so thin.

The two of them also wanted to see how capable Zhu Zhanji would be when he grew up.

Now they have passed all their skills to Zhu Zhanji. Although Zhu Zhanji still treats them as teachers, he has actually become Zhu Zhanji's bodyguard.

After ten years of getting along, Xuanzhen and Yiqingzi have no intention of leaving.

Zhu Di rebuilt the Taoist temple for Wudang, and there are still many Wudang disciples teaching arts in the army. Xuanzhen belongs to the core personnel, so how could he be willing to leave Zhu Zhanji's side.

As for Yiqingzi, this guy had taken a fancy maid from Zhu Zhanji as early as five years ago, married in Yingtian Mansion, and now has children.

The temperature in the early Ming Dynasty was not too low, but now there is no industry, no heating effect, but it is really cold.

According to Zhu Zhanji's estimation, the current temperature is about five degrees below zero.

Yingtianfu's imperial palace is actually located in the southeast corner of the city, outside the imperial city, there are almost no residents outside.

They traveled to Nanjing once in their previous life, and they are now at the foot of the mountain south of Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum.Later generations here is a bustling urban area, but now besides Xiaolingwei, there are also a few farms of Habayashi Zuowei, most of which are Huangzhuang.

Zhu Zhanji's Huangzhuang is between the Xiaolingwei resident and the imperial palace, facing a village in Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Xiaoling.

Because it was close to the imperial palace, when Zhu Zhanji asked for a farm, Zhu Di rewarded him here.

Zhu Zhanji had no idea of ​​growing food. He wanted a farm just to have a place where he could train soldiers.

During this period, the fighting power of the Ming army was still very strong, and horses had been raised since the era of Zhu Yuanzhang. Now there are 170 million horses in the country, and there are 50 qualified war horses alone.

But the Ming army basically relied on its wealth and power to fight head-to-head and sweep.

Whether it was Zhang Fu playing in Annan or Zhu Di's first northern expedition three years ago, he basically relied on his absolute strength to fight.

Facing a farming area like Annan, it is easy to fight, and the opponent was dealt with twice.

But the Tatar and Oirat herdsmen on the grassland ran away if they couldn't win.

As a result, every time the Ming army worked hard, although they won the battle, they couldn't hurt the opponent.

Three years ago, the Tatar Ministry was defeated, and today, three years later, Wala is restless again.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't know much about these histories. He only knows that Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, and Ming Chengzu made five northern expeditions.

This time the Northern Expedition is the second time, which means that there will be three more in the future.

No matter who he fights with, Zhu Zhanji wants to get it done once and for all, and he doesn't want to drag on with those prairie people.

During the preparations for the first Northern Expedition, he took in a group of orphans who were slightly older than him in the farm. The number of the first batch was not many, only 200.

Zhu Zhanji trained the army according to the modern military, first trained them in discipline, and after half a year of polishing to a decent shape, he taught them one trick to control the enemy, three stabs in the army, and Baduanjin.

Because the number is too small, he trained this group of people as special forces.He doesn't need them to be generals, he just needs to be able to play a role in the Northern Expedition.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at Zhu Zhanji's farm, only to find a large group of people making a fuss at the entrance of the village.

Zhu Zhanji speeded up his horse, and everyone ignored the cold wind and speeded up to follow.

A group of young men at the entrance of the village also saw the whereabouts of Zhu Zhanji and his party very early, and their boiling emotions calmed down, and they looked at a soldier in his thirties.

"Deputy Zhang Ying, what should I do?"

The military man looked at a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who was tied up by five flowers, and sighed: "Yuan Fang, originally I wanted to hide something from you, but now, it's up to your fate..."

When Zhu Zhanji and his party came close, everyone knelt down on one knee. "Please, Mrs. Sun..."

The tied young man hesitated for a moment, then also knelt down.

Zhu Zhanji rode on the horse, took off his mask, scanned the crowd with his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

The soldier knelt on the ground and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Yuan Fang, the sergeant of the first company and the second platoon class, asked for leave because of abdominal pain. I wanted to take a doctor to treat him, only to find out that he was going to abscond, so I led people to arrest him. "

Zhu Zhanji was riding on the horse, looking down at Yuan Fang who was kneeling on the ground, he didn't dare to look up, he could only see the bun on the back of his head.

"Everyone, Yuan Fang, raise your head up."

Except for Yuan Fang, everyone else got up one after another, making room between Yuan Fang and Zhu Zhanji.

Yiqingzi and Xuanzhen jumped off their horses and stood in front of Zhu Zhanji's horse.

Yuan Fang raised his head, and his immature face was full of panic and guilt. He met Zhu Zhanji's eyes, and then quickly lowered his head.

Zhu Zhanji asked, "Why did you abscond?"

Yuan Fang didn't dare to raise his head, and replied: "Xiao Min learned that Jia Zilian was going to fight the Mengyuan people this time, but the three generations of Xiao Min's family are single,... Please forgive me, Your Highness."

This is what you want to be a deserter!

Zhu Zhanji looked around at other people's faces. Although they were a year or two older than him, the oldest was no more than 20 years old.

Although in this era, they are adults at this age and have undergone three years of training, but most of them still have a trace of childishness on their faces.

No matter how much training is done on weekdays, these people have never seen blood, and they also have a natural fear of war.

There must be people like Yuan Fang among them, but they didn't take actions like Yuan Fang.

"Bring him back to the school grounds." Zhu Zhanji pinched the horse's belly, pulled the reins lightly, and took the lead into the village.

This matter can be big or small, the key depends on Zhu Zhanji's attitude.

In the past, when he was young, even though he formed a young army, Zhu Di only treated him as a joke.Two hundred orphans were recruited in the first batch, and more than 300 more were recruited one after another. Including a dozen instructors sent by Zhu Di, the total number was only 600.

Except that the first company started training three years ago and was able to go to the battlefield, the soldiers of the second company and the second company were about the same age as Zhu Zhanji, so they should not be used.

Zhu Zhanji understands that what he needs to change is the system, the general trend, and the atmosphere, not just an elite team.So except for some skills, he didn't bring out all the things from later generations.

However, he is also full of expectations for this young army.At the very least, I taught them so many things in order to give them the ability to change the situation of the battle.

Now that the army has not yet been dispatched, there are deserters. It seems that although the ability of this young army has improved compared with other armies, it is still no different from the army of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the reason why I taboo age, the reason why I have changed too little.

However, there are still two months before departure, and half a year before going to the battlefield, and there is still a chance to unify their thinking.

(It's a new week, please ask for a recommendation ticket, a free evaluation ticket...)
