In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang worshiped heaven at Zijin Mountain in Yingtian Mansion and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the Ming Dynasty.
On that day, as a core nobleman of Zhu Yuanzhang's group, Xiao Han was naturally present.
Moreover, knowing that from the day Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he had to start to beware of Zhu Yuanzhang killing donkeys, so what is the way to avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's disaster?
Therefore, Xiao Han secretly gathered five hundred young men, starting with Xiao Han's devil training, fighting to fight, killing to kill, and then hid them in three places: the people, the grassland, and Liaodong.
After two years, the guards in Xiao Han's house have changed one after another, but Xiao Han has never changed the guards replaced this year, and this is what Xiao Han has reserved for himself. Elite secret servants, once there is any trouble, these secret servants will desperately send Xiao Han out of the Ming Dynasty, taking it as their duty to save Xiao Han's life.
This group of secret servants, a total of three hundred people, are good at shooting, skilled in bow and horse, especially the means of assassination and investigation. If Xiao Han hadn't created it himself, Xiao Han might not even be able to sleep well.
Furthermore, Xiao Han made two preparations. The five hundred young men he recruited were secretly recruited by Tong Zhangshun, so Xiao Han divided them into three guards.
One guard, Suning Guard, and three hundred secret servants, returned from the war and secretly guarded Xiao Han's safety as Xiao Han's first trump card.
The second guard, the Yin Yun Guard, has a hundred secret servants, scattered all over the world, and used for strange purposes. Once something goes wrong in the imperial city, Xiao Han's swords and weapons are added to his body, but he retreats completely. You can also use the Yin Yun Guard to rise up and become the second line. trump card.
Three guards, dragon guards, and one hundred secret servants. It was Xiao Han who considered Zhu Biao and separated these one hundred secret servants. If Zhu Biao is willing, and their brothers have not drifted apart, then he will take them. Come out and deliver it to Zhu Biao. Moreover, in order to reassure Zhu Biao, these one hundred secret servants always thought that their master was the current prince Zhu Biao.
Of course, even if they memorize Xiao Han's devil training method, they cannot actually practice it, but it is enough to train a group of royal guards.
After all, there are too many secrets of Xiao Han hidden in it, and they are all life-saving trump cards. How can they be leaked easily.
However, Xiao Han raised his eyes again, looked at the sky, shook his head slightly, but did not say a word.
If you can't resist this calamity, then just leave it as Zhu Biao's legacy.
Anyway, after preparing with both hands, he won the outcome he wanted most. The two brothers did not drift apart, but relied on each other and survived all the way. Then it was worth it.
"Then how to compete?"
Zhu Biao thought for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Han and asked: "And the secret guard, where are they now?"
"Tonight, Jin Yiwei will appear in your prince's east palace."
"Don't worry, they are all based on you, you can use them with confidence."
"As for the military competition, someone must be hired as a referee to prevent anyone from refusing to admit defeat."
"Let's do this. Yingtian Mansion will be the venue for this competition."
Xiao Han thought for a moment, then looked at Zhu Biao and asked: "How many soldiers are there in the Yingtian Mansion in Beijing?"
"About hundreds of thousands of people. The number of available officers and soldiers is about 50,000."
Zhu Biao thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Han and said.
"Too much."
"About 30,000 officers and soldiers will be enough."
Xiao Han shook his head slightly, then looked at Zhu Biao and continued: "Let's create a director team, with Yingtian Mansion as the map, headed by His Majesty, with many princes as referees, and set up the first competition in the Hongwu Year."
"Director's team?"
"What is a director's team?"
Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han confused and asked.
"It is equivalent to an observer of this great competition, who can know the situation of the battle at any time."
Xiao Han thought for a while, then looked at Zhu Biao and said: "Then naturally we can't overstep our limits, so the old man will be in charge of the directing team, and your younger brothers, as referees, will be sent to the army to deliver the plot to the directing team at any time. Just to prevent it, the generals in the army cannot afford to lose, but they must not intervene in the competition without authorization, otherwise, they will not be lenient."
"Um."
"How to distribute?"
Zhu Biao nodded and understood, and then looked at Xiao Han again and asked.
"Li Wenzhong is the governor-general's residence, the ancestral residence of Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liang, and the residence of Jingjiang King Zhu Wenzheng."
"Thirty thousand soldiers took over Yingtian Mansion, except the palace director's department, strengthened their vigilance, and defended with all their strength."
"At the same time, the director team sent King Zhu Fang of Qin to be in charge of the Dudu Mansion, King Zhu Fan of Jin to be in charge of the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, and King Zhu Di of Yan to be in charge of Jingjiang Prince's Mansion."
"Based on one hour, he is responsible for delivering information to the palace, including the strategic proportions and tactical situations of the major palaces."
"Moreover, once the competition begins, the 30,000 soldiers will be commanded by Li Wenzhong, and the director team is not allowed to interfere."
"At the same time, set the rules of the game, that is, within twelve hours, the Dragon Guards will attack the Governor's Mansion, the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, and the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion, and complete the beheading!"
"In this, no matter what method is used, as long as it can win, you can use it at will, including the defender."
"Of course, there can be no casualties in a military competition. Therefore, for the sake of safety, all weapons have their edges removed and are coated with flour. If flour appears on the vital parts, it is considered dead. How about that?"
Xiao Han looked directly at Zhu Biao and explained all the rules of this competition.
"no problem."
Zhu Biao nodded first, then looked at Xiao Han and asked suspiciously: "But are you sure that these one hundred dragon guards are really comparable to thirty thousand soldiers?"
Since ancient times, there have been battles in which a smaller number defeated a larger number, including the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which also defeated Chen Youliang with a smaller number.
But since ancient times, how can there be a case of one hundred versus thirty thousand?
Don't talk about killing a fierce general with a hundred people!
How many people in history can kill powerful generals with a hundred men?
Moreover, compared to a dragon guard versus three hundred Ming elites, it didn't look like they could win, and Zhu Biao felt that he would lose 99% of the time.
As for why it's not 100%, it's because 1% is reserved for Xiao Han. After all, Xiao Han, who has always been able to create miracles, if he can win with 100 versus 30,000 in this big competition, then But it’s really awesome!
"I'm just accompanying you."
"But my advice would be to let them do whatever they want."
Xiao Han shrugged, looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "Only in this way can you see their true strength."
"Um."
"I will immediately order the deployment of troops."
Zhu Biao took a deep look at Xiao Han, then looked at Wang Jinghong on the other side, and said softly: "Password, tomorrow we will mobilize 30,000 soldiers from the garrison camp in Beijing, and all of them will be transferred to the Governor's Mansion."
"According to the order."
Although Wang Jinghong was a little confused, he still bowed slightly and said.
"You don't even want to ask the old man for permission?"
Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Biao: "Are you afraid that the old man will be unhappy?"
"Afraid of shit."
"How can a real man do something timid and just do it!"
Zhu Biao waved his hand decisively.
"Why are you deploying troops?"
But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed out in a hurry, and then looked at Zhu Biao with excitement and said: "You have figured it out, you finally want to be the emperor?"
"No need to go to such trouble, dad directly ordered me to give up my seat to you."
Lao Zhu was still eating chicken legs inside when he heard Zhu Biao's order to mobilize troops, and he almost jumped up with excitement.
Do you still think that your good son wants to prepare to become the emperor?
fine.
My dear son, don’t be afraid. You don’t need to do so much to be the emperor. If anyone dares to object to our decree, we will kill him!
Who can stop me, Lao Zhu, from returning to Fengyang to herd cattle!
After all, the calf that Lao Zhu likes is almost grown up, and if he doesn't let it go, he won't have time to let it go.
"Dad, I want to have a military competition."
Zhu Biao looked helplessly at Zhu Yuanzhang, his head full of black lines.
This is nothing.
"What kind of military competition?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao doubtfully and asked in confusion.
"that is."
After Zhu Biao explained it again, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, as well as Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, finally understood.
However, there was a clear flash of disappointment in Lao Zhu's eyes.
It seems that Lao Zhu's wish to return to Fengyang to herd cattle has become a dream again.
"Why do you always want me to take the throne?"
"How could there be such an emperor in all dynasties?"
After having dinner in Kunning Palace, Xiao Han and Zhu Biao got into the prince's carriage and prepared to return to the prince's east palace. On the way, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at Xiao Han and complain.
"Is it possible that you want to learn from Li Chengqian?"
"Li Erfeng will be suspicious of you whether you rebel or not?"
Xiao Han glanced at Zhu Biao, shook his head and said: "If we consider our status as emperors and sons of all dynasties, what you are doing now is enough to kill you a thousand times, so just have fun secretly."
"Um."
Zhu Biao could not refute this, but nodded, and then shrugged again and said with a smile: "But for the sake of the old man, I can't even ascend the throne at this time. After all, the Ming Dynasty was not long after the founding of the country, and the country was unstable. Moreover, I don’t have the stability of the old man, so I can’t take on this important task.”
"Um."
Xiao Han just glanced at Zhu Biao, nodded and said: "Well, he is indeed a bit young, don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Today's carriage was extremely fast, perhaps because the snow outside was falling slowly. After a while, they arrived at the Prince's East Palace.
But as soon as Zhu Biao and Xiao Han stepped out of the chariot, they felt an unusual smell, which made Zhu Biao frown, as if they were on a battlefield, with murderous intent everywhere.
But then, Zhu Biao shook his head again. This was his prince's east palace, and it was a heavily guarded palace. Who could break in?
However, why are the guards at the entrance of the Prince's East Palace missing, and the entrance is even deserted?
No, although the weather is cold, the guards on duty will never be absent day after day.
Therefore, Zhu Biao lowered his head and looked at Li Heng beside him, and said softly: "Go and bring the first guard over."
"As commanded."
Li Heng had just accepted the order when he was stopped by Xiao Han. At the same time, he looked at Zhu Biao, shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's meaningless. You'll find out when you get in."
"Um."
Zhu Benbin wanted to say something, but after looking at Xiao Han's insistent eyes, he nodded.
Immediately, Xiao Han and Zhu Biao stepped into the Prince's East Palace. As soon as they stepped through the gate, they saw a large number of black-clothed secret guards standing in the courtyard of the Prince's East Palace.
In an instant, a rush of murderous intent struck Zhu Biao's heart!
I saw this group of dark guards in front of me, all dressed in the same color. They all wore scimitars at their waists and carved bows on their backs. Even as a cold light came through, the leader of the dark guards instantly took out the dagger in his boots.
Li Heng was stunned again. His legs were so frightened that a large number of assassins poured into the palace. Just as he was about to shout, his mouth was covered by Tong Zhangshun behind him.
Immediately, Tong Zhangshun looked at Li Heng and shook his head gently. Only then did Li Heng stabilize his mind and feel at ease. Therefore, this might be Xiao Han's handiwork again.
"Greetings to the Lord!"
But the group of secret guards all turned around, looked directly at the leader Zhu Biao, knelt down on one knee and said.
And the sound of blooming sounds sounded, and the chill in the prince's east palace became a little more intense.
"Xue Shuo, let them put on the uniforms of the East Palace guards and guard the East Palace from now on."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, but he came back to his senses instantly. Then he looked at Xue Shuo in front of him and said softly: "Li Heng, you go with them."
"As commanded."
The leader of the Dragon Guard, Xue Shuo.
The best among the five hundred secret servants, and in terms of force alone, he can be ranked in the top ten of the five hundred secret servants. It is also the biggest trump card that Xiao Han left to Zhu Biao.
Of course, the five hundred secret guards were divided into three teams. They did not know each other and did not train together. Therefore, Xue Shuo did not know that in addition to the one hundred dragon guards, there were other secret servants.
Especially on the way here, Xiao Han had already handed over the entire deployment of the dragon guards to Zhu Biao to avoid the embarrassment of meeting on the spot.
"This person looks like an instructor?"
However, when Xue Shuo walked around Tong Zhangshun, he clearly felt a sense of familiarity. Then, he took one more look at Tong Zhangshun, and then followed Li Heng down to change clothes.
"Do you recognize it?"
Tong Zhangshun's eyes didn't even move, but a smile flashed in his heart.
Although Xiao Han gave the Dragon Guard to Zhu Biao without any reservation, how could Tong Zhangshun not leave any backup for his master?
After all, the royal family is always the royal family. Intrigues and intrigues are common occurrences and must be guarded against.
Therefore, among the dragon guards, there is Tong Zhangshun's back-up, and that is the instructor, don't make an enemy of him!
Of course, if Tong Zhangshun wanted to kill these brats, all the hundred secret guards of the Dragon Guard would die in just one night. Their abilities were all attributed to Tong Zhangshun.
As for being better than being good?
hehe.
Tong Zhangshun didn't care at all. The top five secret servants at Suninghou's residence were still training secretly and never stopped.
The goal is to be better than the blue!
After all, Tong Zhangshun will also grow old, but the master beside Xiao Han must be the number one secret servant of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, Tong Zhangshun will never be at ease.
Even Tong Zhangshun wanted to have a son and stay by Xiao Han's child.
"I suddenly believe your words."
It wasn't until all the hundred dragon guards went to the inner courtyard of the Prince's East Palace that Zhu Biao turned to look at Xiao Han and said, "The palace is heavily guarded. He can break into the palace silently without even alerting any of the guards. He took over the crown prince's east palace without any bloodshed. This ability alone would make even the old man jealous."
Indeed, this is what shocked Zhu Biao the most!
The guards in the palace are all to protect the safety of the emperor, so their fist and kick skills must not be too bad. The dragon guard can still break into the palace, and quietly!
That’s a bit scary!
In fact, this is not one dragon guard, but a hundred guards.
"In terms of fighting alone, the Dragon Guard is certainly no match for thirty thousand soldiers."
"But this competition is not conducted by conventional means, but by any means necessary, and the so-called beheading operation means to behead the leader."
"Imagine, if all the enemy leaders died for no reason, how would this battle be decided?"
Xiao Han raised his head again, looked at Zhu Biao beside him and asked with a smile.
"Unilateral crushing."
"Carry out silent assassinations, and the army without its generals will naturally be defeated and have no fighting power at all."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement.
"Um."
"The highlight of this great competition is that Yingtian Mansion has gathered 30,000 soldiers, but they have no fighting power. After all, the army commander has been beheaded, what else can be done?"
"Even if you have all the means to reach heaven, there is nothing you can do."
Xiao Han also nodded and said: "Furthermore, from this big competition, those arrogant and powerful generals can also be cautious. Therefore, it is estimated that after the first big competition, the two armies will face each other and perform martial arts again. The ability of Long Wei will be much weakened. After all, those uncles are not fools. After experiencing it once, they will naturally be on guard in their hearts, so it will not be easy for them to succeed."
"I got you."
"But after the rehearsal of this big competition, the old man and many uncles should look very embarrassed."
Zhu Biao also nodded, and then looked at Xiao Han and said with a smile: "After all, these are the elites of the Ming Dynasty. They have already been defeated before they take action. Who can accept it?"
"Failure is not terrible, but stubbornness is terrible."
Xiao Han shook his head and said: "In the Ming Dynasty's war, you can see the grassland, but there are more things you can't see. Therefore, you must understand one thing when fighting on a large scale."
"That is to say, we are indeed a country of etiquette, but war is always a dirty game, and we are all dirty players, that is, by any means necessary."
"After all, I will not provide protection for the enemy, but we have to consider the sons of the Ming Dynasty. How can we be buried in a foreign country when our bodies are wrapped in horse leather while fighting for the country?"
"If we want to be worthy of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty and turn this foreign country into a province of the Ming Dynasty, then where in the green mountains of the world can we not be buried?"
Xiao Han raised his head again, looked straight at Zhu Biao and said.
"In this world, the future must be interesting."
Zhu Biao did not refute, but nodded slightly, and then smiled again: "Even, I can't wait."
"Um."
Xiao Han looked in the direction of the Governor's Mansion and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Grand Governor."
"What does this imperial decree mean?"
Jingjiang King Zhu Wenzheng and Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu rushed to the Governor's Mansion in a hurry. They even looked at Li Wenzhong, who was in the first place, and asked: "More than 30,000 soldiers are mobilized to perform martial arts in Yingtian Mansion. Where is the opponent?"
"One hundred secret guards."
Li Wenzhong's eyes darkened, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"This is not a joke, do you still need to fight?"
Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu also looked at Li Wenzhong in disbelief.
"The rules are very clear, one hundred versus thirty thousand, starting with the Governor's Mansion and your respective mansions, no matter what the means."
Li Wenzhong looked at the imperial edict in his hand, clenched his fist tightly and said, "It means nothing more than using any means necessary!"
"What should we do?"
"If we lose, wouldn't we lose my lord?"
Zhu Liangzu's eyes flashed with worry again.
"Can you lose?"
Zhu Wenzheng raised his eyebrows and said.
"Don't forget, the opponents in this martial arts performance are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the young gentleman."
"It goes without saying that His Highness the Crown Prince is not good at military affairs, but young sir, if you ask Commander Xu and Commander Chang, they both dare not say that victory is guaranteed."
Zhu Liangzu looked at Zhu Wenzheng angrily and said.
After Zhu Liangzu's words fell, Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong were both silent. Facing Xiao Han, even a sure victory could make them hesitate for a long time.
“Especially the saying that the end justifies the means.”
Li Wenzhong lowered his head again and looked at the eye-catching characters on the imperial edict. Then he looked at Zhu Wenzheng and Zhu Liangzu and said, "It makes me feel uneasy."
"Let's do this. Let's give up part of the guard of Yingtian Mansion, switch from defense to offense, and send 10,000 soldiers to inspect Yingtian Mansion to apprehend these 100 secret guards."
"As for the remaining 20,000 soldiers, 10,000 will be stationed at the Governor's Mansion, while King Jingjiang and I will each lead 5,000 elite troops to guard the mansion. How about that?"
Zhu Liangzu thought for a moment, then looked at Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng and said.
"Please compile the Hongwu Grand Ceremony at the beginning, Lao Zhu's music collapsed" The book's performance has been pretty good since its inception.
