Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not announce the war in the south in the court was mainly because he was afraid of causing people's hearts to fluctuate.

After all, when Lan Yu was sent north to attack Yuan, there were still many voices of opposition.

In particular, there are some unsightly speech officials in the Eastern Zhejiang Civil Affairs Group, who actually say that going north to attack the yuan is a waste of people and money!
If they get the news that Nanman has assembled an army of 30, including the army of [-] elephants, wouldn't these people be scared out of their wits!
The voice of Sapphire's withdrawal will definitely be heard again!
Coupled with the consolidation of the frontier town in the past few years and the continuous floods and droughts, it can no longer support two-sided warfare.

The Minister of the Household Bureau still looked at the secret fold carefully, wiped off his sweat and said, "Your Majesty, the only plan now is to urgently send the troops and horses of the Chief Secretary of Sichuan, the Chief Secretary of Guangxi, and the Chief Secretary of Guizhou to Yunnan!"

Chang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, I suggest to adjust the firearms battalion. Only firearms can deal with the elephant army."

Minister of the Ministry of War shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to adjust the firearms battalion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Yunxi. Didn't the emperor's grandson say yesterday that there is "no need to worry about the war in the south".

Where is his confidence?
Several people were surprised, what does His Majesty see Zhu Yunxi doing?
Ask for his opinion?

His answer today has no real content. I really don't know whether His Majesty is interested in his talent or wants to have fun from his incompetence.

Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "I'm afraid only firearms can control this elephant."

"Elephants are just huge, what's so scary?"

"Mu Ying is really an excellent general, and she gained experience through practice."

"Someone told Mu Ying that elephants are afraid of lions, so Mu Ying asked someone to draw a lion on a cardboard to scare the elephant away."

"It was really scared away. Actually it was a coincidence. Because the first time they set off firecrackers."

"It's ridiculous that when the battle reports reached the capital, the officials thought elephants were afraid of lions."

"Drawing a fake lion can scare the elephant away? Do you want to laugh the elephant to death?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help blushing.

He certainly thought so at the time.

Later, Muying's troops painted lions again, but the elephants didn't like it and went on a rampage, causing many deaths and injuries to the Ming army.

"Mu Ying found out that elephants are not afraid of lions, but are afraid of voices."

"Of course, it's impossible for Mu Ying to know that the elephant is afraid of unfamiliar voices. If Mu Ying uses the voice that the elephant has heard this time, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot."

"In ancient Rome, some troops used the howling of pigs to scare off elephant soldiers."

"Subsequent studies have shown that as long as it is a sound that an elephant has never heard before, it will definitely run away. Although the elephant is very big, it is actually very fragile inside."

What is ancient Rome?Where is it, or which court?

What research shows, who studies it?
This grandson of my own is not only talented, but also has many secrets that I don't know!
These secrets are waiting for him to unravel step by step.

"Besides scaring off the elephants, there are other ways!"

What else can be done?
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his ears.

"Your Majesty, I think it's just to be on the safe side." Before Qi Tai could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang abruptly interrupted him.

"you shut up!"

Qi Tai's face darkened, why did His Majesty suddenly get angry, did he do something wrong or say something wrong these days?

Thinking of the old man's ruthlessness in killing the minister, Qi Tai felt a chill on the back of his neck.

"At least Muying should be able to think of using a horse. Blindfold the horse's eyes and light firecrackers on the horse's tail. It's also a trick to bump a blind horse into a herd of elephants."

Wonderful!

Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to applaud after hearing this.

Isn't this the fire ox array used by the ancients?
"However, this kind of trick is more expensive! It is better to use sound to save money and effort. Use a different sound each time. Use pigs, monkeys, lions, wolves, come to the mobilization of animals!"

"One sound, use it once, retreat 5000 elephant soldiers, and you can't use it up."

There is still such a method?

Is it too simple?
In Yunnan, there are not many people and food, but there are many animals!
But how effective this approach will be is far from certain.

What is certain is that the voice of the emperor's grandson did not lie to him.

Because the Zhu family is in the country, in order to avoid taboos, everyone is not allowed to be called a pig.

From official to folk, pigs must be called "pigs".

Huangsun called pig in his heart, even though it sounded uncomfortable, he couldn't criticize him.

Then write a confidential letter of the emperor's grandson's method, and send it to Mu Ying as soon as possible, so that he can follow suit.

As long as the 5000 elephant soldiers are repelled, the rest is nothing to worry about.

If this method works, Huangsun has solved a big problem for himself!

Of course, it is best to let Jin Yiwei handle this secret document. If it is leaked out, the emperor and grandson will definitely be alert.

To be able to eavesdrop on the voice of his grandson, must not let anyone know.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his long pole to the south, and laughed loudly: "There is no need to send troops to raise food, we trust Muying! Five thousand elephant troops are nothing to be afraid of!"

Several people looked at each other, what happened, Your Majesty?
Did His Majesty find a way to defeat the enemy, or did he really have confidence in him, his adopted son?
No one dared to ask.

"Only by close contact can you know the strength of Lao Zhu! This is called not being suspicious, and not being suspicious when employing people!"

"Muying, you can always trust me!"

"Without Mu Ying, there would be no Yunnan today!"

Zhu Yuanzhang treated Mu Ying very well and treated him like his own child. He not only taught him how to read and read, but also taught him how to lead soldiers to fight.

Mu Ying was one of the very few generals in the Ming Dynasty who had fought major battles in the north, west, and south.

Hearing that Zhu Yunxi admired Mu Ying so much, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little elated.

Although the grandson called him "Old Zhu" no matter how old or young, he finally knew how powerful he was!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a kindness in his heart.

"We are happy today, so happy! Come, let's have dinner together."

Qi Tai and the others immediately cupped their hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the meal (Long Enhaodang)!"

Because it was too early to go to court, most officials didn't have time to eat breakfast.

Some officials had eggs or biscuits in their pockets for a meal.

Ten years before Hongwu, the imperial court was still preparing meals for officials in the palace.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the officials should be more frugal because they eat the king's salary, so they canceled the food given by the early dynasty.

Unexpectedly, today, Zhu Yuanzhang gave food to the three of them!

Qi Tai was finally relieved now, he dared to say that Zhu Yuanzhang just told him to shut up, it was just an unintentional move.

Otherwise, how could His Majesty give food?
This is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!
Not an ordinary gift, but a breakfast with His Majesty!
What an honor!
After going out, the officials must look at themselves with admiration.

Chang Sheng was a little baffled, since the death of the Crown Princess, the Chang family has been neglected by His Majesty.

I didn't expect to have breakfast with His Majesty today.

Could it be because of his nephew Zhu Yunxi?
But today, Zhu Yunxi didn't say a few words.

Shangshijian served breakfast: broken rice porridge, small pickles, cabbage gang, and peeled garlic cloves.

The two ministers ate with gusto, and tears fell into the bowl.

What I eat is not rice, but glory!

Regardless of his image or not, Zhu Yuanzhang ate as soon as he served the bowl, with a clacking sound in his mouth.

"Old Zhu was born as a suffering person! Now that he's an emperor, he's still so simple!"

"Such an emperor, give me a dozen!"

"No, there can only be one emperor!"

"However, this side dish is really hard to compliment!"

"Compared to my hot pot and stir-fry dishes, this is simply pig food!"

"Are these guys pigs? They taste so delicious?"

Pig food?

Cough, cough, Zhu Yuanzhang who was drinking porridge was choked.
