Most of the guarding officers and military eunuchs were selected from the twelve inner palace eunuchs. Their grades would not be too low. The most important thing was to gain the emperor's trust.
Ma Qi has been in the palace for so many years. If he still can't remember what his master looks like, then his life will be in vain.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly.
The boy from the Liu family standing in the Anyuan Marquis Mansion is none other than King Qi!
Zhu Gaojie knew that Ma Qi had recognized him, so he smiled and put his index finger in front of his lips, making a "silence" gesture.
Ma Qi suddenly realized that the prince wanted to hide his identity.
He restrained his excitement and resisted looking at the prince.
This is the difference between eunuchs and courtiers. After Liu Sheng learned Zhu Gaojie's identity, his first reaction was fear, Liu Pu was worried, and Ma Qi was surprised.
For eunuchs, the royal family is their ancestors, and their glory and wealth depend on the royal family's thoughts.
"Mr. Ma, what are you looking at?" asked General Yang Hong, who was sitting next to Ma Qi.
"Nothing." Ma Qi frowned and looked at Yang Hong, "Do I need to report to you what I did?"
Yang Hong smiled: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I'm talking too much."
In the early Ming Dynasty, the status of the garrison official was not so expanded, but it was not within the reach of ordinary people. He is not as good as the princes like Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng, but he can still be on an equal footing with Anyuan Hou Liu Sheng and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Jiang Yi. For a general like Yang Hong, even if Ma Qi didn't give him face, the other party could only greet him with a smile.
…
After everyone gathered, the regular meeting began. Each battalion uses this to report the recent situation, and then the joint analysis is carried out to determine the next war development according to the enemy's strategic deployment, how to fight, who to fight, how much to fight, and what to do after the fight...
Zhu Gaojie listened with great interest. In ancient times, war was not about a few words. You rush up and punch me, and I rush over and chop you. Whoever has more is more powerful. Rather, it is extremely rigorous, and every step must be carefully calculated, with dense small details determining the outcome. From the military formations of each battalion to the customs and defense camps, from strategic depth to geographical advantages.
Everyone in the commander's camp was discussing, and in Zhu Gaojie's mind, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Huo Qubing and others were also discussing.
"If you ask me, we should send troops from Thang Long first, use the vanguard battalion to clear the obstacles, find out the enemy's deployment, and then use the vehicle battalion and infantry to coordinate the push over, occupy Chengpingzhou, establish an effective defense line in Chengpingzhou, and gain a firm foothold. Things got much easier after that..."
"The bulk of the enemy's army has been strangled to death. If you ask me, just use the cavalry to pursue efficiency and not give the enemy a chance to unite."
"You use cavalry in this damn place?"
"That's right. Wasn't the Shenji Battalion transferred to Jiaozhi? Just use the Shenji Battalion and transfer two battalions of infantry to pave the way for the Shenji Battalion and directly bulldoze it. This artillery is so damn easy to use."
Bai Qi said with emotion, "If I had artillery back then, I wouldn't have had anything to do with Ying Zheng. I would have conquered the Six Nations!"
Ying Zheng smiled: "Why don't you need artillery? Just give me a map of the world, and I can make the whole world crawl under the majesty of the Qin Dynasty."
Bai Qi: "Fuck you, you brag every day, why don't you go to heaven?"
Ying Zheng: "..."
The content of this meeting has a very clear target - General Chen Jun, Nguyen Ngoc Hung.
Among the scattered forces of the Chen Army, Ruan Yuxiong's force is considered a relatively large one and the most courageous.
He actually dared to set up an ambush in the Ming army's territory. Although he failed in the end, he was still targeted by Zhang Fu.
Led by Deputy General Jiang Yi, 30,000 troops were sent to attack Ruan Yuxiong's headquarters.
This is a war without suspense. Thirty thousand people fight seven thousand people. Unless Jiang Yi has mushrooms growing in his head, there is no way he will lose.
Although it was an impossible war to lose, Zhang Fu still formulated a careful offensive strategy to ensure nothing went wrong.
And the Pioneer Battalion is among them. No, as long as there is a war, the Pioneer Battalion is indispensable.
The vanguard battalion does life-threatening work. No matter who leads the troops, the vanguard battalion will play the most dangerous role in the end.
…
After the discussion in the guild hall ended, Zhang Fu stood up and left.
Ma Qi stopped the other party: "General, can you take a step to speak?"
Zhang Fu paused: "You come with me."
Ma Qi followed Zhang Fu to the back hall. The back hall of the military camp did not have the gorgeous decorations of wealthy people, only monotonous and simple walls, tables and chairs.
Zhang Fu sat on a chair and asked, "My father-in-law, did you feel that my strategy at the meeting just now was inappropriate?"
"I don't have any objections to those. The war is your general's business and has nothing to do with our family." Ma Qi frowned and said, "But Prince Qi and Duke Qian don't know each other, so you must know them."
"He is not King Qi. Here, he is Zhu Silang, the counselor's adjutant of the Pioneer Battalion." Zhang Fu said calmly, "This is not my decision. If you have any objections, you can consult with the emperor."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is a member of the royal family. If something happens, can you bear the responsibility?" Ma Qi's voice was sharp.
Zhang Fu was silent for a while and looked at Ma Qi with cold eyes: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Ma Qi took a deep breath: "That's not what I meant..."
"That's not what you mean, just shut up." Zhang Fu interrupted, "The water is too deep and people can easily drown. Do you still need me to teach you about this?"
Facing the powerful Zhang Fu, Ma Qi was speechless.
…
Jinling
Zhu Di is a little confused now.
Simulation object one: Zhu Zhanji
Identity: [Grandson] [Prince] [Emperor] [Lord] [Commoner]
Simulation object two: Zhu Gaosui
Identity: [Lord]
Zhu Di thought for a while, and finally chose the identity of Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui as the [vassal king] for simulation.
His four sons have now imitated the eldest and second son, leaving only the third and fourth sons who have not imitated.
In fact, what Zhu Di wanted to imitate the most was the life of the fourth child. He always felt that this boy had hidden too many secrets and was still unable to see them clearly.
But the intimacy between this little bastard and Zhu Di is too low to be simulated.
He had thought about choosing an opportunity to increase the intimacy with the fourth child, but he never had the chance.
After calming down, Zhu Di entered the simulation of King Zhao's life.
[You were born in Peiping in the fifteenth year of Hongwu. You are the fifteenth grandson of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. His father is King Zhu Di of Yan, and his mother is the princess of Yan, Princess Xu. He is the third son of King Zhu Di of Yan. 】
[Because she looks like her mother, Mrs. Xu, and is very clever, she is very favored by her father. 】
[After the Battle of Jingnan, your father came to the throne, and you, your eldest brother Zhu Gaochi, and your fourth brother Zhu Gaojie stayed in Peiping. In the second year of Yongle, your eldest brother and fourth brother were recalled to Jinling. You were named King of Zhao and began to live in Peiping independently. 】
[Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, and others reported that Peiping was the emperor’s place of prosperity and should be made a companion capital by following the example of Emperor Gao’s approach to Fengyang, Anhui. So the emperor vigorously promoted the status of Beiping Prefecture, named Peiping Prefecture, changed Beiping Prefecture to Shuntian Prefecture, and called it Xingzai. At the same time, people began to be relocated to enrich the Shuntian Prefecture; those who were forced to move into the Shuntian Prefecture included refugees from various places, wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, merchants from Shanxi, and other common people. 】
[As a result, the size of your fiefdom has greatly increased, and your status has also increased accordingly. 】
