Since ancient times, he has been poor in literature and rich in martial arts.

Zhu Ying has never been stingy in building Xuanjia Guard.

Meat is included in every meal and you are satisfied every time.

As long as you can eat it, you can eat whatever you want, including beef and mutton, in a big basin.

Physical fitness is entirely dependent on training and food.

Without a strong body, those special trainings cannot be carried out at all. That is to say, among the more than 8,000 people in the Xuanjia Guard, only the top 1,000 are able to go down to the river to perform martial arts naked in this harsh winter.

In fact, the Xuanjiawei winter swimming event has been practiced many times in the military camp, and has been practiced in the river for some time.

And this time, it was Zhu Ying's intention too.

Because the New Year is approaching, many people come to the capital, the busiest place in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Officials reporting on their duties, foreign ministers paying homage, merchants doing business, etc. all came to the capital.

At this time of year, traders are looking forward to making a fortune, foreign ministers are looking forward to rewards from the kingdom, and local officials want to listen to the holy words.

For example, the court has some arrangements for next year.

Of course, most of the local officials who rushed back to the capital at this time were hoping to see if they could find some connections and do some activities.

Even if there is no chance, at least he can stabilize his official position.

When giving New Year greetings to the Shangguan of the capital, one cannot be vague.

Various factors have made the current capital of the capital almost the most lively. Zhu Ying asked the Xuanjia Guards to perform martial arts outside the Zhengyang Gate and on the riverside pier, in order to show the value of martial arts and to promote joining the army.

So far, it seems that the effect is very good.

The reputation spread throughout the capital that day.

And this news soon reached Zhu Yuanzhang.

Out of curiosity, Zhu Yuanzhang asked his eldest son to bring the Xuanjia Guard over to take a look.

What kind of tiger and wolf master is he?

In the palace martial arts arena, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the tall and powerful Xuanjia guards with firm eyes, and was extremely surprised:

"Okay, great. This is the strongest army we have ever seen."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to praise him.

To be recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang after a lifetime of fighting is enough to show how powerful the Xuanjia Guards are now.

Just standing there is as motionless as an ice sculpture.

Their strong bodies and fierce eyes all showed how powerful these soldiers were.

"If we can have an army as large as ten thousand people, it will be enough to sweep across the world without any enemies. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the opposite side, we can directly attack them."

"Dasun, Xuan Jiawei knows how to ride."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Ying smiled and replied: "Both riding skills and matchlock guns need to be practiced every day. What my grandson wants to build is the Fire Tong Cavalry. Even if the number is small, it should be of great use on the battlefield.

"

"You can fight when mounted, and you can fight when dismounted. It can also be used for long-distance raids."

It can be said that these soldiers have undergone intensive training in all aspects, and their quality is worthy of the Ming Dynasty.

"A soldier who has never seen blood is not a good soldier. Whenever Da Sun is ready to give it a try, he must go to the battlefield and win the battle. Don't be a showman."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhu Ying replied: "My grandson has this intention. When spring comes, I will let them be led by Uncle Seventeen and go to Shaanxi to see the blood. By then, we will know whether they are mules or horses."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his eldest grandson would be so confident about Lao Qi that he could even entrust his own bodyguard to him.

"It seems that Xiao Qi has to take advantage of his eldest grandson's love. The merits of such a soldier are in vain." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yingdao: "Uncle Seventeen is good at planning. With such soldiers, he will be even more powerful. With the continuous intelligence coming from Shaanxi, we should be able to break through the key points and put down the rebels in a very short period of time."

"Uncle Seventeenth's biggest problem in the past was not whether we could win or not, but how to quickly quell it without causing too many casualties and delaying spring plowing."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. The so-called rebels had never been taken lightly. The Ming Dynasty had so many elite soldiers and strong generals that they could not be pacified anywhere.

However, thinking of the military generals, Zhu Yuanzhang had a few words in his mind that he wanted to say to his great grandson.

After waving his hand, Liu He immediately arranged for a carriage to come over.

In the Palace of Qianqing, heat overflowed, driving away the coldness that had just been experienced.

"As I get older, my body and bones can no longer bear it. When I was just two sticks of incense, I couldn't bear it anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his body was gradually getting warmer, and his hands and feet became much more flexible, and he couldn't help but sigh.

At this age, it's no longer just about doing whatever you want.

Once, carriages were prohibited in the palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang would walk wherever he went.

Now it was no longer possible. Under the advice of his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang also arranged for a carriage to be carried with him. The imperial doctor also said that people who often catch cold can easily get rheumatism.

"What did grandpa say? With such a body, even some men in their forties are not as good as those in their fifties. None of them can compare with grandpa."

"But what the imperial doctor said makes sense. No matter how good your body and bones are, they must be kept warm. Grandpa, don't be pushy."

Zhu Ying sat next to the old man. He didn't bow or salute or anything. He just chatted briskly like an ordinary grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang enjoyed this feeling very much.

This is called true family happiness.

It was really unpleasant for the other princes and grandsons to see his trembling appearance.

Feeling that it was almost done, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out.

Liu He arranged for the palace maids and eunuchs to withdraw one by one, and then stayed two feet away from the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

"How's Lan Yu doing lately?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this serious tone, Zhu Ying immediately understood what the old man meant and replied:

"Lanyu has been handling various matters in the Public Security Department during this period. As the new year is approaching, the affairs of the Public Security Department have also begun to become busy."

"Those Huaixi disciples also caused a lot of trouble for him."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, sighed, and said with emotion: "We can conquer this world without the help of some old brothers."

"Nowadays, those old brothers are gone, and they are getting old. Now only Brother Tang is left, and it seems that there are still problems with his body and bones."

"Is it because we are cruel and send them down? In fact, their power is too great, which makes us feel uneasy sleep every night."

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Dasun and said, "Dasun has criticized us in his heart because of these things."

Zhu Ying shook his head and said: "You are arrogant in your service, form cliques, bring trouble to the government, and do not want to make progress. You should be killed!"

"Occupying the neighbors, forcing the people, acting wantonly, and indulging evil servants, they deserve to be killed!"

At this point, Zhu Ying paused slightly and continued: "Threatening our Ming Dynasty and destroying our Ming Dynasty, we should be killed!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled.

In this world, too many people do not approve of him.

But who knows the pain in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel much about the first two paragraphs, but the last sentence really resonated with him.

This world belongs to the Ming Dynasty and to the Lao Zhu family.

Anyone who dares to touch it will die.

Being able to realize this made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.

"There are too many old brothers in Huaixi. Now they are following us to conquer the country. If we conquer the country, we will not treat them badly."

"But there are always some brothers who always feel that they don't get enough, and they wish we could give up the throne to them in order to be satisfied."

"We don't want to kill, but we have to kill. Let's just say that in this army, about 70% of the generals now have some unclear relationship with the old brothers in Huaixi."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking. He believed that Da Sun should understand what he meant.

Lan Yu is not in the army, nor does he hold the position of Grand Governor, but in the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, no one is allowed to give Lan Yu face.

Jin Yiwei secretly inquired and found out that Lan Yu was still unparalleled in power, and those Huaixi nobles followed him.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel quite fearful.

What he was afraid of was not Lan Yu, but the future of his great grandson.

The current military power seems to be under the control of Da Sun. If anything happens, the generals headed by Lan Yu will definitely provide strong support.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no doubt about this.

But if Lan Yu is gone and has no opponent, can she still listen to Da Sun's words honestly?
