Does Zhu Ying have troops?

The answer is yes,

He has people, quite a few.

The total number is about five thousand.

From another perspective, the current Zhu Ying is more like a warlord in later generations.

But this is normal.

If you wander around the border of the Ming Dynasty without any men or horses, you are not a wolf eating sheep, but a sheep to be slaughtered.

Money and materials are one thing, but the most important thing is to have troops.

Zhu Ying will naturally not forget the famous saying of later generations that political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

These five thousand riders are not concentrated together, but scattered.

There are about fifty to one hundred riders in a squad, and Zhu Ying has dozens of such squads.

Not only cavalry, but other arms are also involved.

However, in deserts and grasslands, light cavalry is the only one, the rest are useless, and mobility is king.

These soldiers and horses are nothing to the Ming Dynasty, but they are a considerable force on the desert grasslands, and they are also Zhu Ying's trump card that allows him to be so cool today.

Among them, they mainly maintain the safety of the caravan, but they also occasionally appear as horse bandits.

Adhering to the principles of later generations, the main objects of robbery are generally hostile forces, commonly known as: black eats black.

Unfortunately, the caravan that Lan Yuyizi wanted to bully was an old bird from the desert.

Some of these veterans even worked in the remaining forces of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

Now conquered by Zhu Ying.

Perhaps if they encountered a caravan from the Western Regions, the outcome would be much better.

Relatively speaking, the Western Region is still slightly more civilized than the deserts and grasslands.

Duke Liang Lan Yu, including other Dukes, Marquises, Earls and other generals and nobles.

Normally, they would not stay in the capital.

The Ming Dynasty was not clearly divided in terms of military and political affairs.

The distinguished members of the Huaixi Generals Group are generally in the local area.

Although the Ming Dynasty is now unified, it is not peaceful at the local level, and there is still a trend of unrest in some areas.

The generals and nobles also have many things to do.

For example, farming, training troops, controlling the army, defending borders, resisting Japanese pirates, and suppressing rebellions.

We also participate in disaster relief, risk management and many other matters.

Duke Liang Lan Yu is now vaguely the leader of the Huaixi generals group, although there are many senior generals.

But in terms of military achievements, he can still be said to be the most handsome boy.

If ordinary people heard that he was Lan Yu's adopted son, they would definitely panic.

But Zhu Ying dared to kill him directly.

He didn't want to face off against Lan Yu. He directly faced off against Lan Yu, and it was certain that he couldn't win.

But Zhu Ying can see the current situation more clearly than anyone else.

The arrogant blue jade seems to be arrogant, but it is actually a big tree that is about to collapse.

Since the death of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Ying knew that these extremely arrogant generals, led by Lan Yu, were almost at the end of their lives.

The young Zhu Yunwen could not suppress these arrogant generals at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not leave a mess for his grandson, he must clean it up.

Moreover, the former dragon slayer has now become like a dragon, so he would not feel too guilty if he killed Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lan Yu has always ignored the law. Zhu Yuanzhang had hundreds of reasons for killing him. Just one of them would be enough to kill him several times.

The Lan Yu case, one of the four major Hongwu cases, broke out in February of the 26th year of Hongwu.

It seems that there is still more than half a year, but in fact Zhu Yuanzhang has already begun to collect evidence and is ready to take action.

After all, Lan Yu's achievements are here, so he still needs to find some reason to kill him.

Moreover, Lan Yu has deep roots in the military. It would definitely not be possible to kill him alone. Only by uprooting the roots can the future troubles be eliminated forever.

So don't say that Lan Yu is still fighting the rebellion now. Even if he comes back immediately, he will only fall into the quagmire.

This is the advantage of intelligence information and the source of Zhu Ying's confidence.

As for his men.

Forehead,

Isn't it normal for the fleeing Meng Yuan remnants to commit crimes and run away?

Take the situation in ancient times.

From discovering that a person has disappeared, to reporting the case for investigation, looking for clues, solving the case, and issuing arrest documents.

After this series of operations,

Those men had long since disappeared.

Unless we make some urgent plans of 600 miles or 800 miles to catch up, we won't even get ashes.

It's just a station resource, how can it be so useful.

Ying Tianfu's police officers only targeted the local area.

Moreover, this kind of situation was very common in ancient times. Killing people and running away, with the speed of information dissemination in ancient times.

Even if a fugitive is standing in front of you, can you know who I am?

Not long after staying at the teahouse, Zhu Ying went out for shopping, commonly known as shopping.

Many of his caravans are about to arrive, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of no one available.

First of all, you need to get familiar with the city of Nanjing.

Previously, Yan King Zhu Di's people had been monitoring him, making it difficult for him to take action. Now that they are sure to have withdrawn, Zhu Ying will start to take action.

Always prepare for the worst.

The capital cannot come to the capital in vain until it is found out where the firearms craftsmen live.

Either threats or inducements, and maybe even a group of people will be kidnapped and run away.

...

Night, Daming Palace.

In the Hall of Renzhi, Zhu Yunwen was no longer there at this moment.

As the emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunwen has begun to learn to handle government affairs without having to keep vigil every day.

Because Zhu Biao passed away too suddenly, the mausoleum has not been completely built yet.

Historically, Zhu Biao, who died of illness at the end of April, was not buried on the east side of Xiaoling Tomb until mid-August.

The remains lay dormant for nearly four months.

For such a long time, it is impossible for no one to keep vigil.

At this time, there was still a boy and a girl waiting in the palace.

They are the legitimate son Zhu Yunxi and the eldest granddaughter Zhu Mingyue.

Zhu Biao's legitimate wife, the Chang family, gave birth to his eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying in the seventh year of Hongwu.

In the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, the eldest granddaughter Zhu Mingyue was born.

Zhu Yunxi, the direct grandson of Hongwu, was born in the eleventh year of his reign.

Before Zhu Biao died, there was also his stepwife Lu, in addition to Zhu Yunwen.

There were also three sons, one died in infancy, and three daughters.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Biao still adheres to the style of the old Zhu family when it comes to creating people, and he is very accurate.

A gust of wind blows, bringing some coolness in this hot May weather.

It's just that for this gloomy environment, it seems a bit creepy.

"Sister, I'm a little scared."

Zhu Yunxi, who was only thirteen years old, pulled the sleeve of his sister Zhu Mingyue next to him and whispered.

"What are you afraid of? Daddy is here. There is nothing to be afraid of. You are my royal son, so don't be so timid."

The girl matured precociously, and Zhu Mingyue, who was two years older, scolded her younger brother Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi took a look at his father Zhu Biao's coffin and nodded tremblingly.

But he didn't find it either.

My sister's calf seemed to be shaking slightly.

Perhaps to comfort his brother and himself, Zhu Mingyue hugged Zhu Yunxi and whispered:

"Brother, don't be afraid. Dad is gone, and Grandpa Huang is still here to protect us."

What the two didn't know was.

Outside the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the door, silent.

Listening to the words of the two siblings, I felt a little uncomfortable and a little bit guilty.
