Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 432 The Return of Muying
Gossip less, seeing that Prince Zhu Biao happened to meet the carriage frame of Mu Ying and others, Zhu Di also dismissed the Jinyi guards, and got into Zhu Biao's carriage.

The three brothers chatted happily all the way, and soon they arrived at the southern suburb of Yingtian. From a distance, they could already see the sand and dust on the official road covering the sun and the sky, and a majestic team was heading towards Yingtian Mansion.

Seeing the banner of Prince Zhu Biao from afar, several horsemen galloped out of the army immediately.When he was still a few feet away from Zhu Biao, the horseman got off his saddle and bowed to the ground:

"Chen Muying, I have met the prince, His Royal Highness Qin Wang, and Wu Wang."

"Minister Wu Liang, pay homage to the crown prince and your two highnesses."

"Minister Xu Ying..."

All the generals bowed down to worship, Zhu Biao smiled amiably and helped them up one by one.Behind him was another general wearing a battle robe and galloping towards him.Seeing Zhu Biao, he dismounted from his horse, bowed down to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "My minister Feng Sheng, I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting here for a long time, and I am really terrified!"

"Song Guogong fought for the country, and now he is triumphant, the crown prince will greet him naturally, so why be afraid?" Zhu Biao said with a smile.It was also the first time for Zhu Su to see Zhu Biao facing the court officials alone. Although he was not as domineering as old Zhu, he had a sense of benevolence that should not be underestimated.After sighing in my heart, I looked at Feng Sheng who was supported by Zhu Biao. Although I had a relationship with this Song Guogong, but there was no real intersection. Unlike rough guys, his temperament is similar to Xu Da who is also literary and martial, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, for some reason, when Feng Sheng and Zhu Biao exchanged greetings, he also secretly looked at him.The eyes of the two met, and Feng Sheng nodded to Zhu Su very affectionately.

"What is he nodding at me for? Could it be to show his favor? As a real powerful prince, why should he pretend to be a young prince like me?" Zhu Su was full of puzzlement.

Afterwards, Feng Sheng, as the coach of the expedition, handed over the soldier talisman to Zhu Biao in public.Zhu Biao took back the military power of the Yunnan Expeditionary Army on behalf of Lao Zhu after the military inspection amulet was correct.The soldiers were brought back to the barracks by their own generals, and Zhu Biao was in charge of leading Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Zhenguo General Mu Ying, Jiangyin Hou Wu Liang and other major generals into the palace to meet Lao Zhu.

A group of people went back in a mighty manner. As the prince, Zhu Biao naturally couldn't lock himself in the car at this time. He was riding on the horse, chatting and laughing with Song Guogong Feng Sheng who was walking side by side, but Zhu Su and Zhu Di were not so Many people cared, nestled in Zhu Biao's rather spacious carriage, and dragged Mu Ying, who was beside the carriage, into the room together, taking advantage of other people's unpreparedness.

"Brother Muying, you have made a great contribution, congratulations!" Zhu Su cupped his hands at Muying with a playful smile.Just now it was considered the eldest brother's home court, and the two of them were easily allowed to talk as younger brothers.Only now can it be regarded as the real congratulations to Muying.

"Xiao Wu, you're still joking. The contributions you have made in Northern Xinjiang are far better than mine." Mu Ying laughed.After more than a year of expedition, he has grown taller and thinner, but his whole person has also become more humble and restrained, like a sharp sword in its sheath.

"We are just clumsy in the northern border, unlike you, Mu Ying, who passed through all the way... you are no different from the famous generals in ancient times!" Zhu Di praised.Mu Ying was extremely brave in this battle. As a vanguard, she had already solved the battle several times before the rear army reached the battlefield. No wonder Zhu Di was so fascinated.

"It's just to take advantage of the advantage of anticipating the enemy." He glanced at the curtain of the carriage, and said in a low voice: "If there is no information from you, Xiao Wu, I would not be able to deal with King Liang so easily."

Zhu Su smiled slightly, and Zhu Di also understood.Before Mu Ying set off for the expedition, he told Old Zhu and Mu Yingzai about the Ming Conquest to Yunnan, detailing everything.It is precisely because of this that Lao Zhu made up his mind to conquer Yunnan in advance.After all, judging from the degree of resistance in Yunnan in history, Liang Wang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who was entrenched in Yunnan was just a mediocre man. Although he had a heavy army in his hand, he did not have the talent to make good use of it.

In this case, it is better to take it back first.The sooner it is taken back, the sooner it will be completely digested.

"The king of Yuan Liang is not worth mentioning. The most dangerous part of it is when we received the report of the northern Naha sending troops to encircle Ji Town." Mu Ying said.Speaking of this matter, he still has lingering fears. "Before the expedition, my adoptive father once told me that this battle must be resolved quickly, lest the main forces of the Yuan Court in the north get the news and send troops far away to respond."

"It's just that I can't imagine how they got wind of it so quickly."

"Jinyiwei is still investigating this matter." Zhu Di took over the conversation. "It is suspected that the group of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's remnants tipped off the news, but there is no clue yet."

"Don't think about these things now." Zhu Su interrupted the two people who were deducing.Excited in his eyes, he asked Muying, "Brother Muying, you have been to Yunnan personally, do you know how the resources of giant trees in Yunnan are?"

"In your opinion, is it enough for me to greatly promote the shipbuilding industry and build a lot of ocean-going fleets?"

When it comes to Yuanyang, Mu Ying is also slightly excited: "As you said, Xiao Wu, there are many big trees in the whole of Yunnan."

"If you want to build a ship and go to sea, you have to take this place into your hands."

"And this place is bordered by countries such as Annan in the south. According to the locals, among the countries in the south, there are many giant trees. In the Yuan Dynasty, rich merchants often went to Annan to buy wood as the beams of the hall."

"Purchasing giant trees through the southern countries, and transporting them back to our Ming Dynasty by river, is definitely enough to support our Ming Dynasty's fleet construction for a hundred years!"

"Great!" Zhu Su waved his fist fiercely.Daming finally had a timber base.Ever since Lao Zhu ordered the shipbuilding industry to be revived, due to material limitations, Daming did not build too many ships capable of oceangoing.

Now with Yunnan, it is not impossible to create the treasure ship fleet of Zheng He's voyages in history!

"It's not just about building ships. This time I'm going to conquer Yunnan, it's thanks to the firecrackers and cannons!" As if she was talking about something she cared about, Mu Ying became a little eloquent.

"Xiao Wu, the gunpowder and artillery you improved are really amazing! There are chieftains in Yunnan who use elephants as soldiers, and when they drive them forward, the earth trembles, as if the sky would collapse."

"If there is no musket, I will be defeated by then. It is because I remembered the three-stage attack you once said, I let the soldiers line up and shoot at the elephants continuously, which made this almost indestructible, capable of making mountains and rivers. All the color-changing elephants will be wiped out by us."

"When we were in northern Xinjiang, we relied a lot on firearms!" Zhu Di also said excitedly. "At that time, thousands of households in Shanyang in the north came in a surprise attack. My fifth brother and I had only a few thousand people, and we lined up with firecrackers. At that time, my heart was already in my throat. Unceasingly, it actually broke the Mongolian iron cavalry charge!"

"There is such a thing!" Mu Ying was also shocked.These two battles, in the traditional war situation, should have been extremely dangerous and almost impossible to reverse the situation.

Even because of the power of firearms, the danger was saved.

"Only through personal experience can we know that what Xiao Wu said about the generation of weapons is true." Mu Ying sighed. "Firearms with a little modification can have this power. In the future, the power of firearms will definitely be an irreversible trend in wars! This time I will return to Beijing. I will definitely advise my father-in-law that if I, Ming, want to conquer all nations, I must Just go all out to develop your firearms skills!"
