Clatter, the horse's hooves landed on the stone slab of the palace, making a crisp sound.
Click, click, click, the imperial guards in flying fish uniforms embroidered with spring knives, their footsteps are as sonorous as war drums.
Under Zhu Yunxi's crotch, a pure white, docile war horse without any stray hairs slowly walked out of the palace gate.
Behind him, countless imperial guards and armored guards lined up in a long queue.
And in front of him, the moment he left the palace gate, there were countless cavalry soldiers clearing the way.
Outside the palace, the palace servants and servants immediately turned their backs to face the walls of the Forbidden City, not daring to express their anger.
This is an era of strict hierarchy. Mortals have no qualifications or rights to meet nobles. When they meet nobles, the only thing they can do is to avoid them.
The officials who were preparing to enter the palace to meet His Majesty were stunned for a moment when they saw Zhu Yunxi's ceremonial guard, and then immediately knelt down by the roadside.
Zhu Yunxi looked back at the tall and majestic Forbidden City, and then at the wide streets in front of him. His heart was filled with pride and high spirits.
King Wu's team gradually left the palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at the city wall with his hands behind his back.
This grandson of ours is like us! Walking slowly towards the bottom of the city wall, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered with a smile on his face.
The Ming Dynasty had been in his hands for more than 20 years and was just getting on the right track. The late prince was in his prime and was the best person to take charge of the country and lead and stabilize the Ming Dynasty.
It's a pity that the prince is gone, leaving the Ming Dynasty's successor empty.
But seeing his heroic grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang had other thoughts in his mind.
It seems that the Ming Empire is led by a passionate and fearless young man. It is also a good choice to ride the wind and waves in the years and surpass the achievements of his father and ancestors.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang looked back outside the palace wall again, and said to the bodyguards around him, let Jiang Wei come to see me! (瓛,huan)
Jiang Wei, commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
~~~~~
Boom, boom, boom!
Before Zhu Yunxi's guard of honor arrived outside Yingtian Mansion, the Ming Dynasty's army was encamped in the capital, and the sound of murderous war drums suddenly sounded from heaven to earth.
The war drums were surging, rising one wave after another like an angry tide. This turbulent war drum shook the man's heart like a violent storm.
However, the rapid drums did not make people feel palpitations, but instead made them feel excited. The prosperous capital of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have instantly turned into a land of warriors and horses outside the Great Wall. The thoughts in their minds were filled with men who wanted to fight the enemy with all their strength, and the great Ming Dynasty.
The cheers after victory.
The docile war horses under their crotches raised their manes when they heard the drums, and their mouths neighed in harmony with the war drums. The guards and soldiers in armor clenched their weapons in an instant.
Huh! Zhu Yunxi exhaled to calm down his surging heart. He knew that what he was going to witness next was the unparalleled Ming Dynasty, the most courageous army. He was also the Chinese man who defeated the Yuan Dynasty and was willing to fight to the death.
Boom, boom, the sound of the drum fell and the earth trembled.
The sound of galloping horse hooves came from the distance, and under the Ming Dynasty's battle flag, countless armored knights, like dragons, galloped over in the smoke brought by the war horses.
Huh! The thick-bearded knight at the front of the cavalry pulled the reins. The front hooves of the war horse were in the air and could not stop kicking, but the knight on the horse was as steady as a mountain.
Seeing these knights who looked like tigers, horses and dragons, Zhu Yunxi smiled.
My dear, blue jade!
Your Majesty, Wang Bi!
Chang Sheng!
Mao Ning!
Yu Tongyuan.
See His Highness King Wu!
The horses' hooves stopped suddenly, and the knights on the horses dismounted in unison with the sound of their armor scraping, and neatly kowtowed in front of Zhu Yunxi.
When they learned that Zhu Yunxi was coming, all the Ming generals from the army came out to greet him personally.
Zhu Yunxi jumped off his horse, helped Lan Yu up personally, and said with a smile, "I am a junior, and General Lao actually went out to greet me in person. I am ashamed!"
You are the King of Wu, and we, as ministers, should welcome you accordingly! Lan Yu laughed and said.
Behind Lan Yu is a man in his fifties with a pair of swords hanging on his waist. He has a majestic appearance. He is also a tiger general of the Ming Dynasty. He followed Lan Yu in the expedition outside the Great Wall and made great achievements in Yuerhai, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi with two swords.
Next was Zhu Yunxi's uncle, and then there were several new faces, including an old man with white beard and hair.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi looking at him, the veteran said loudly, "My lord, Yu Tongyuan has met His Highness King Wu!"
Zhu Yunxi was shocked, but he was the youngest son of the Duke of Hejian, the younger brother of the Duke of Guo, the Marquis of Yue Xi (xi), and the old general Yu Tongyuan?
The veteran laughed and said, I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Wu also knew my name!
Zhu Yunxi solemnly said, "How can the descendants of the Zhu family forget the heroes of the Ming Dynasty!"
The Yu family deserves the title of heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
The first general, two prime ministers and three princes of the Yu family were all important founding ministers of the early Ming Dynasty.
Yu Tongyuan's father, Yu Tingyu, led his navy to join Zhu Yuanzhang when he crossed the river to attack Yingtian. He later died generously fighting for the Ming Dynasty and was posthumously named the Prince of Hejian County.
Yu Tingyu's eldest son, Yu Tongyuan's eldest brother Yu Tonghai, is even more famous in history.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, his biggest enemy was not Dayuan, but Chen Youliang, a powerful man who dominated Huguang and had millions of troops.
When the two sides fought a war at Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang's navy was named Wu, and Chen Youliang's was Han. Chen and Han's navy ships were powerful and powerful, and they were all dozens of feet high. Zhu Yuanzhang's navy was invincible.
At the critical moment, it was Yu Tonghai who stepped forward and fought his way to the death to help Zhu Yuanzhang turn defeat into victory. In this battle, Yu Tonghai died heroically. Later, Chang Yuchun and others fought bravely and defeated Chen Youliang. Zhu Yuanzhang held Yu Tonghai's body and lost his voice.
Cry loudly.
And this Yu Tongyuan can definitely be regarded as a hero in history. After Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, he did not want to see these veterans and asked him to go home and retire. However, during the Jingnan campaign launched by Zhu Di, no one in the court was available.
Emperor Jianwen issued an order to let Yu Tongyuan lead the army.
In the most brutal Battle of Baihegou, the Confederate army was defeated, and Zhu Di was decimated by the imperial troops.
The old general Yu had a gray beard and refused to surrender, saying that he wanted to repay Emperor Taizu's kindness, and died in the Baihe ditch. Zhu Di personally collected the old general's body and buried it ceremoniously.
Hearing the words "Ming Dynasty Heroes", Yu Tongyuan was stunned at first, then his eyes turned red, he bowed solemnly, and choked with sobs, "To be praised by the King of Wu, my father and my brother deserved to die!"
Old general, please get up quickly! Zhu Yunxi helped the old general up with his own hands and said with a smile, you are embarrassing the junior!
His Royal Highness the King of Wu is a courtesy corporal! Lan Yu praised.
The soldiers in the army grinned widely, and some of them shouted, His Highness the King of Wu is good to us!
That is, His Highness King Wu is the crown prince’s legitimate son, exactly like the crown prince, and he is most considerate of us rough guys!
His Royal Highness King Wu is the grandson of General Chang Da, and he also has the blood of our warriors in his body!
Zhu Yunxi's uncle Chang Sheng said with a smile, please invite His Highness the King of Wu to enter the camp to review the officers and soldiers of the three armies!
Zhu Yunxi nodded and mounted his horse! Please take me to meet our good man of the Ming Dynasty!
~~~
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Our country, the Ming Dynasty, is invincible! My Lord, Hongwu, spreads military force throughout the world!
The shouts that shook the world made the war horse under Zhu Yunxi's crotch twist uncomfortably.
It also made Zhu Yunxi's blood that had just cooled down boil again.
In sight, there are battle flags that can't be seen to the end, and an iron armored phalanx that can't be seen to the edge.
These phalanxes are like mountains standing between heaven and earth, and nothing can shake them.
The sunshine in early summer was bright, but it was eclipsed by the bright armor of the Ming Dynasty men.
Their armor, their weapons, and their helmets reflected a light that was heart-stopping and full of fighting spirit.
That kind of light is called edge, and these people are the sharpest edge of Ming Dynasty standing in the land of China.
These soldiers were like unsheathed swords, full of murderous intent.
His Highness King Wu is a thousand years old!
In the school field, amid the shouts of countless soldiers, Zhu Yunxi waved his hand to drive away the guards who were trying to help him dismount. He jumped off the horse, then held the jade belt around his waist with both hands, and slowly walked up to the general platform.
Next time I come, I will wear armor!
Zhu Yunxi thought as he walked and walked to the general stand.
Lan Yu stood next to Zhu Yunxi, drew out her long knife, and shouted loudly, "Boys! The review begins!"
