Chapter 377: Invisible (Part 2)

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Authentication. Hahaha, killing Chi Menger this time greatly hit the arrogance of the Yuan and Mongolian Tatars. It is a great thing to tell the situation of the war in detail and make all the Qing families happy." He was still thinking in his mind: "I am going to prepare to conquer Mongolia in person, and I just took this opportunity to mobilize the morale of the civil and military in the court. Well, it is better not to disobey God's will. Since I have practiced Taoism, according to the words of several heavenly masters, don't stay in Yingtian Mansion for too long. Go out to fight the Mongolian Tatars, hehe, it's just a solid foundation for my ten thousand years of Ming Dynasty... After thousands of years, I will succeed in cultivating immortals, and when I return to the world, my descendants will still be in charge of the world. Wouldn't I be happy?"

Zhu Di fell into a beautiful dream with a smile on his face. Seeing Dugu Miefeng following the Zhongguan into the palace, he also felt a lot like a look. "Well, a great man, a great man. Just look at his figure, he looks like a powerful general... Hey, but he is seven points less majestic than that guy Li Hu. Haha, but how many natural tiger generals can there be in the world? If I have a general like Li Hu, it can only prove that I am the real emperor." Naturally, Zhu Di compared Dugu Miefeng with Li Hu. It is very natural. In terms of physical majesty, Dugu Miefeng is far inferior to a kitten.

Looking at Dugu Miefeng's skillful mountain cry dance and worshiping him, Zhu Di nodded slowly and praised: "This person is a little better than Li Hu. The court etiquette is very familiar. It's not like that guy Li Hu. When he saw me, he raised his neck and his eyes were rolling around, but he just couldn't kowtow and bow to him... Oh, but to be honest, Li Hu was polite, not like this one..." Zhu Di secretly glanced at Shui Yuanzi. The guy was sitting on the chair next to Monk Daoyan, with his tongue constantly licking a few bamboo sticks.

Zhu Di couldn't stand it anymore, so he curled his lips and felt depressed: "After eating all this barbecue, you can buy a few more strings? Licking bamboo sticks in the hall of the morning court. Fortunately, they are all ministers of my Ming Dynasty. If foreign envoys saw this, they would think that my Ming Dynasty suffered a natural disaster and would starve to death."

Shaking his head and putting aside the strange years in his mind, Zhu Di laughed in a harmonious voice: "Are you Dugu Miefeng? Stand up and talk."

Dugu Miefeng kowtowed respectfully and stood up honestly. He looked respectful, and he didn't dare to lift his head, as if he didn't dare to look at Zhu Di's dragon face. Zhu Di nodded repeatedly in admiration, thinking: "This person is good, a material for being a general. He made great contributions, but he did not have a trace of arrogance. He is a person who can take on major tasks." He was happy in his heart, and Zhu Di's tone of speech eased a little: "Well, I heard that you fought well this time, knocked down 20,000 people from the Yuan and Mongolian Tatars army, and killed Chi Menger, the leading general, and tell me the details!"

Dugu Mifeng quickly said, "I obey the order." He immediately planned his army out of Juyong Pass and swept the Yuan Meng tribe on the grassland. He sent a large number of soldiers to escort the grain transport team to transport supplies and attract the attention of the Yuan Meng army. He mixed a large number of gunpowder shells and other objects into the food. When the Yuan Meng army approached, he immediately ignited the grain truck, killed and injured a large number of enemy troops. Then the ambushed army surrounded the four sides and annihilated the Yuan Meng army that sneaked into the grain transport team.

He had a very good eloquence, and he called a battle a scattered and felt immersive. Especially when he saw that under Chi Menger's leadership, the Yuan Meng army retreated neatly and was about to break out of the encirclement, he rode his horse and rushed over and killed eleven Yuan Meng generals, more than 300 soldiers, and finally killed Chi Menger on the spot. Zhu Di also exclaimed.

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Your families, it can be seen that the Yuan and Mongolian Tatars have reached the end of their lives, and it is not scary. I have issued an edict to let King Gaoyang lead his meritorious soldiers to Yingtian, and I am preparing to reward the meritorious officials, rectify the army and fight again. I will fight for a battle and control the grassland in the hands of our Ming Dynasty. In the future, there will be no border troubles in the north. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

Lu Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so wise. If the Yuan Mongolian Tatars don't teach them a good lesson, they are still dreaming of going south again. Taking advantage of this great victory for His Highness Gaoyang, he will rectify the elite troops and go out of the pass to the north. The Tartars will be able to make great achievements in fear. His Highness Gaoyang's contribution this time is extremely great. All the generals under his command must be rewarded, so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can use their lives to fight hard."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Of course, rewards should be rewarded, this is the rule. However, since you said something that you want to give a lot of rewards, I wonder how the Lu Qing family thought it should be rewarded?" Zhu Di thought in his heart: "You Lu Feng said you want to reward the second child? It's really a failure. Well, let's talk about how to reward them so that the second child can avoid the reward methods mentioned by the second child. The people who the boss made friends with were dissatisfied, but they started arguing again. Humph, today is my happy look, don't make me angry, you guys, don't make me angry."

Lu Feng hurriedly said, "Where is the qualification to decide the reward? This should be the responsibility of all the great masters of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel! Now I am just giving your Majesty a little advice." After coughing, Lu Feng shook his head and said, "First of all, Your Highness Gaoyang is already the prince, and this reward is beyond reward! Is it a joke to give His Highness Gaoyang a title? If you want to give gold, silver and jewelry, the prince is your prince, your Majesty, you are all a family. Many of these gold, silver and jewelry are also taxes paid by the prince. It is also troublesome to send it here and there."

The civil and military ministers were funny, and Zhu Di couldn't help laughing out loud. Isn't it? Every prince pays a large amount of taxes to the court every year. Now Zhu Di rewards Zhu Yu with another sum of silver. Isn't this a waste of effort? Zhu Di asked with a smile: "How should the Lu Qing family think that should be rewarded?"

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, and an extremely deceitful light flashed in his eyes. Zhu Yu and Dugu Miefeng felt cold in their hearts and immediately felt something was wrong. However, Lu Feng laughed and said, "This, King Gaoyang is one of the few generals in the world, born with divine power, and the ability to charge into battle is rare. A while ago, it seemed that His Highness Gaoyang had made some minor mistakes. His Majesty cut off his guards. Now there are only three to five thousand private troops in the palace."

Zhu Di nodded slowly, and understood what Lu Feng was going to say. Sure enough, Lu Feng said with a smile: "Now, the prince is stationed in Juyongguan, and most of his troops are garrisons in nearby garrisons. I guess he is a bit ineffective. As for the so-called brothers in battle, these troops must be trained by themselves to be used together. I heard General Dugu say that the day of encirclement and annihilation of Chi Menger was because of the uneven quality of the troops under his command, so there was a gap in the encirclement and almost let them slip away."

After a pause, Lu Feng glanced at Zhu Yu and smiled, "But if there was an elite cavalry trained by the prince himself, the battle situation would be very different. So Your Majesty, I am also considering the court. Since the prince has the talent to be a powerful general, why not just ask the prince to train an elite cavalry of 20,000 people to serve as a private army? In this way, just as Your Majesty once guarded the northern border for the country in Beiping City, the prince is now working hard for the country."

Zhu Di had a smile on his face. He loved to hear these words. Although he secretly developed a private army of 8,000 people in private, it was a shameful army. If Zhu Di agreed to Lu Feng's proposal, he could openly own 20,000 elite cavalry, which was his own power. 20,000 elite soldiers, hehe, there were more articles to do in it.

Dugu Miefeng felt a little strange. Lu Feng was not such a good person? He was Zhu Xi's confidant. He should have to think of ways to weaken Zhu Yu's power whenever he had the chance. But why did he change his nature today? No, there must be strange, big weird. But where is this weirdness? Although he felt that what Lu Feng said was a bit wrong, it was all good words, and there were no strange words. Except for Lu Feng always emphasized that Zhu Yu was a powerful general... Damn it, that's all this. Isn't this telling Zhu Di, Zhu Yu can't do anything else except being a powerful general?

Dugu Miefeng felt very hatred and glared at Lu Feng fiercely. But he couldn't speak. Why did he say his current identity? It was not his turn to speak in the court.

Zhu Di's face was very serious. He gently tapped the dragon case in front of him and pondered for a long time. Let Zhu Li train 20,000 troops? This is a big deal. 20,000 private troops are organized. If Zhu Li is unwilling, he can at least expand 30,000 more than 20,000 private troops. Will Zhu Li have nearly 50,000 private troops? Will this pose a threat? Is it not threatening himself? Zhu Li doesn't have the courage to compete with him. But will it threaten Zhu Xi's status?

Monk Daoyan stood up with a smile. Among the civil and military officials in the court, only Monk Daoyan saw through Lu Feng's intentions at first sight. He smiled and said, "What are your Majesty hesitating about? King Gaoyang is a powerful general who is difficult to produce in a century. If there is no army, it is like a tiger without its minions. How can he serve His Majesty?...Well, let's talk about it, Your Majesty has 100,000 soldiers under his command. They both serve the country, so how can Your Majesty distinguish them?"

Zhu Di suddenly realized and smiled. "Yu'er, a fierce tiger will hurt people when he goes out of the gate. But as long as Xi'er's strength is stronger than him, he can only honestly sharpen the swords and guns and chop off the outsiders. Xi'er's command has 100,000 soldiers built on the basis of the Iron Army of the Yan Palace, plus the ten guards near Shanhaiguan, which is enough to suppress Yu'er. With the Jinyi Guards under Lu Feng's command, the City Defense Army, and the 100,000 broken camp army under Li Hu, um... I should also give Yu'er some troops, otherwise it will cause Yu'er to complain."

The palms and backs of hands are all flesh. Zhu Di is cruel and vicious to others. However, for his sons, except for the third and fourth brothers, he is very good to the eldest and second brothers. This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Di has not been appointed for a prince for a long time. He was inspired by Lu Feng and his worries were pointed out by monk Daoyan. Zhu Di no longer hesitated. He smiled and said, "Forget it, let's go." Yu'er, I will give you 20,000 military power, and you can form an elite iron cavalry by yourself. However, you have to think clearly what this army is for."

Zhu Li was so happy that his heart almost jumped out. He had long disliked the soft soldiers in the garrison. Now he could train 20,000 personal soldiers openly. Are you still unhappy? He glanced at Lu Feng and thought: "You did me a favor today. I won't care about you about what happened last night... Well, can you want to surrender to me?" With a lot of thought in his head, he knelt down and kowtowed like garlic, thanking Zhu Di.

Lu Feng laughed again and nodded and said, "King Gaoyang formed 20,000 elite soldiers. This is the best steel for the blade. Such a powerful general has no strong soldiers to help him, how can he show the might of the world-class general?" Lu Feng was very vicious and reminded everyone in the hall again that King Gaoyang is a candidate for military generals. Don't let him be the emperor...

Dugu Mifeng looked at Lu Feng coldly, wishing he could kill him with a sword. But this was the palace, and he didn't have the courage to move a finger randomly. Then he heard Lu Feng continue to say: "Next, I think that since King Gaoyang will have 20,000 more soldiers, the rewards from the generals under his command will be easy to deal with. All the second-level official ranks are promoted, and gold, silver, silk, silk, hehe, there are rare things that have been paid to Nanyang, so your Majesty should not be stingy."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes with a smile. Lu Feng, okay, I dare to make a joke about me. He smiled and said, "Forget it, why do I want so many rare treasures? I will reward them all. Manager Lu, wait until he goes to the warehouse to bring out a batch of Nanyang tributes and hand them over to King Gaoyang, and let him go back and reward him on his own... Well, Lu Qing's family, this idea is good. King Gaoyang is going to expand his army, and the officers and generals are just upgraded to two levels, so that they can lead the army in the future."

Lu Feng thanked Zhu Di for his praise, smiled and looked at Monk Daoyan, and narrowed his eyes and said, "In the end, it is General Dugu's reward. Chi Menger is a general of Yuan Meng, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the commander of the Yuan Meng's remnant party. General Dugu can kill Chi Menger, which greatly hit the morale of the barbarians on the grassland, but this contribution is great. Your Majesty, I think that General Dugu should be given more rewards. Especially King Gaoyang said that General Dugu is skilled in martial arts and strategies, and all of them are proficient. Such talents should be given power."

Zhu Li smiled so hard that his eyes couldn't open. Lu Feng was tactful today. No one was deliberately making trouble. Well, could the eldest brother have something wrong with him? He wanted to surrender to me? Well, it should be like this, yes, it must be like this. Haha, Lu Feng is also a talent. If he wants to surrender to me, I will accept it. Zhu Li was so happy, so don't say it.

Dugu Miefeng's uneasiness was getting heavier and heavier. Lu Feng must have a conspiracy, but he couldn't see where the conspiracy was. What exactly did he want to do? Reward the reward? Hold the power? If I, Murong Tian, ​​would you feel relieved? Will you be satisfied? Will you not make trouble behind the scenes? Standing there with a gloomy face, Dugu Miefeng's heart was very confused. I don't know what strange methods Lu Feng would use to deal with him.

But when Lu Feng said slowly, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, I heard General Dugu's talk about the battle formation before. Your Majesty thought, how talented is General Dugu?"

Zhu Di was silent for a while and nodded in praise: "The talent of the general." Zhu Di naturally distinguished the difference between a general and a mediocre general during his life.

Lu Feng applauded suddenly and said, "That's good. Your Majesty, General Dugu is the talent of a general. He is the auxiliary of a military officer. It is a waste of talent. I think that great talents should take on great responsibilities. General Dugu is so talented that he is wronged by a mere royal palace. General Dugu has the talent to be the only one, so why should he conquer the private army of a mere royal palace?"

Zhu Di kept nodding, while Zhu Li was stunned and speechless. Dugu Miefeng's eyes were twitching. Isn't this to force himself to separate himself and Zhu Li? Zhu Li is a tyrannical and tough person. Unless he is always around him, he will make sure that he will make a mess no matter what government affairs are. Lu Feng separates himself and Zhu Li. Dugu Miefeng believes that as long as he and Zhu Li are separated for three months, the affairs in the Gaoyang Palace will immediately be in chaos.

But before Zhu Li could object, Lu Feng smiled and said, "Prince Gaoyang, if General Dugu is a general who has been following you for a long time, Your Majesty will naturally not take away his love. But since General Dugu has just defected to you recently, don't you think that the promotion of wise men for the country is a matter for the ministers? ... General Dugu, is it that you only want to serve King Gaoyang, but you don't want to share your worries with Your Majesty?"

Zhu Di began to have a strange thought in his head: "Well, I allow him to have 20,000 elite troops under his command, but according to his temper, he will definitely expand to a 50,000 army, or even a 100,000 army. When Wu'er leads his own army, he is a general, so there is no need to worry that he will be in trouble. But if Dugu Miefeng follows Wu'er for a long time, he will have a deep relationship with the king and his ministers. With this talent, coupled with Wu'er's army, hehe..."

Zhu Di nodded at Lu Feng and threw a look of praise. He said slowly and majesticly: "What Lu Qing's family said is very true. I have already made a decision. Come here, add the position of Xuanwu Commander, the third-rank Xuanwu Commander of Dugu Mitianzheng, and enter the tent of the governor's office in the Five Cities, and stay in the court to listen to it. For his achievements in killing Chi Menger and annihilation of the Mongolian army, he rewarded ten thousand taels of silver, thousands of silk, twenty rare items in the South China Sea, and hundreds of jars of imperial wine."

He smiled and said, "I will soon use troops against Yuan Meng, and all the generals will work together. If you have great talents in Duguqing's family, you must show it well and serve the country. I have never treated anyone who has made meritorious efforts."

Dugu Mitian's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground helplessly, shouting thanks for his kindness.

Lu Feng returned to the general's train and smiled like a weasel who had just eaten two little hens. "What's this? It's called giving you a sweet date and slapped you hard... Dugu Miefeng, Dugu Miefeng, Murong Tian, ​​Murong Tian. You entered my five-city governor's mansion, do you still want to have a good life? Well, let me serve as the late night patrol in the city in the future! When the army is fighting, go and guard the food and supplies for me! I will definitely reuse you."
