Chapter 104: The Ming Army is invincible 2

"I can only say that the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty are really too bold!"

"That's right. In their eyes, the world belongs to the Zhu family. No matter how much they lose, they won't feel bad. On the contrary, the more they lose in battle, the more opportunities they have to take advantage of it. They embezzle more. No wonder."

"I know that the civil officials are bold. After all, they have committed regicide more than once. What I don't understand is how the emperor at that time could let Yang Gao lead the army? He is really bold!"

Upon hearing this, brothers Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian didn't know how to respond.

After all, Chen Yu was talking about their grandfather, Emperor Wanli.

A grandson should not speak of his grandfather's faults.

Originally they would have given some other reasons. But after listening to Chen Yu's explanation, they didn't know what to say to save Wanli's reputation.

Finally, Chen Yu added: "There are two other clear proofs that the Man Xiang army is invincible. One is the Qi family army. The Qi family army's combat effectiveness is counted throughout history. They are the most obvious representatives of the Man Xiang."

"Unfortunately, in the 23rd year of Wanli, the Qi family army, which was demanding the overdue military pay, was treated maliciously by Wang Bao, the general of Jizhou Town. As a result, the Qi family army was massacred and the survivors were sent back to their hometown. They did not die at the hands of the enemy. Instead, they were almost wiped out by their own people."

"And the last Qi family army was also wiped out in the Battle of Hunhe River because of the generals' poor command and disharmony among the three armies. The Qi family army also became history."

"Another proof that the Ming army was invincible is not so good. When the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, almost 90% of the battles in the interior were fought by the Ming army that had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Many of the military leaders even had to be coaxed by the Qing court. This shows the fighting power of the Ming army during the Manchu period!"

Suddenly I heard that the Qing Dynasty had taken control of the Central Plains.

Zhu Youjian stood up directly.

He glared at Chen Yu and was about to explode.

I also saw my brother, Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youjiao, as if he had not heard anything.

His eyes flickered. He knew there must be something he didn't understand. He hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything.

Only then did Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Sure enough, he is much stronger than me!"

Then, Chen Yu changed the topic and said, "When we talk about soldiers, we can't help but mention their equipment."

"When Your Majesty restructures the Ministry of War and other departments in the near future, in addition to correcting some of the bad habits of previous military equipment, he must also work hard to update the equipment."

"In the list I gave Your Majesty earlier, Bi Maokang is one of the few officials who knows how to make flintlock rifles. Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua are also rare firearms experts who are good at casting cannons. It's a pity that Xu Guangqi can only cast cannons. Your Majesty can keep an eye on him."

"I have some drawings here specially brought to His Majesty."

"One is a blueprint for manufacturing flintlock rifles, two are blueprints for casting cannons, one is a blueprint for smelting steel, two are blueprints for manufacturing warships, and the last one is a global geomancy map."

"These are all handed over to Your Majesty. I hope these things can be put to use as soon as possible."

"Of course, if His Majesty has other arrangements, that's fine. After all, His Majesty knows the real situation of Ming Dynasty better than I do."

After saying that, Chen Yu spread his hands and several drawings appeared in his hands.

Zhu Youxiao was not seeing this for the first time, and although he was still surprised, he remained calm. Zhu Youjian was more normal.

At first, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He was waving his arms and trying to say something.

Then he saw his brother Zhu Youxiao looking as if he was used to it.

I had no choice but to endure it.

At the same time, he also raised Chen Yu's position in his heart by several levels.

Then, Chen Yu also introduced the content of infantry training in later generations.

Zhu Youxiao asked Zhu Youjian to write down everything, including Chen Yu's introduction to the ocean and warships, as well as some descriptions of Western countries.

Finally, there is communication about some things that both of them are concerned about.

It might be because of the extra person. This time Chen Yu talked a lot, and even the lunch was eaten by three people together. Chen Yu's appetite once again surprised Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian.

This exchange lasted until the evening. It was finally over! Although Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian were somewhat reluctant to leave.

However, Chen Yu did not want to affect his practice.

Moreover, Chen Yu has almost said everything that needs to be said.

There isn't much new to come. It's not worth wasting time.

Before leaving, Chen Yu said to the two of them, "I heard that the Qi family still has descendants. If the court made some mistakes, it should admit it! Admitting a mistake will show that you are more magnanimous."

"If Your Majesty wants to rebuild the Qi Family Army, they are indispensable."

"If that doesn't work, people like Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying are also descendants of the Qi family army. If they don't have other civil servants behind them, they can be used."

"How could a good battlefield killer become a shameful assassin? What a waste."

After saying that, Chen Yu left.

His words made Zhu Youjian's face turn pale again.

Otherwise, he would have been taught a lesson twice by his brother Zhu Youxiao last night and this morning.

Now, after hearing this, he would collapse to the ground again.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhu Youjian, who was weak all over again, and said calmly, "Go back and have a rest. Come here again tomorrow to listen to Mr. He's class!"

Zhu Youjian then collapsed and was helped to the side hall by the eunuchs.

Before Zhu Youjian became completely trustworthy.

There was no way he would be allowed to leave the palace.

As for possible rumors among civil servants.

It's just these few days. After a few days, they won't be able to tell anymore.

Therefore, Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao no longer cared about these things.

After Zhu Youjian left.

A eunuch came to ask for instructions.

Said: "Eunuch Wei wants to see you."

Emperor Tianqi did not hesitate.

He said calmly: "Let him in!"

Then, an old eunuch in his sixties came crawling in.

"Your Majesty, it was my negligence. I deserve to die. I never thought that someone would dare to murder Your Majesty after I left the capital for just a few days. I deserve to die for scaring Your Majesty! If Your Majesty had not been blessed with great fortune and was in good health, even if you cut me into pieces, I would never be forgiven for my crime."

Although he knew that Wei Zhongxian's performance was largely a performance, Emperor Tianqi still felt somewhat satisfied.

Moreover, Emperor Tianqi also knew that everything Wei Zhongxian had was given by him. If he died, Wei Zhongxian would not live long. They were like grasshoppers on the same rope. Did he get murdered as soon as Wei Zhongxian left?

However, this does not mean that Emperor Tianqi will let the other party go so easily.

After all, I almost died this time.

No, if it weren’t for Mr. He, I would have really died this time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao became even more furious.
