Haohai Dayu's words successfully stung Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, it was not convenient for him to speak at this time, so he could only poke Geng Xuan with his finger.
Geng Xuan understood and asked directly.
"Haohai Dayu, what do you mean by being at the end of your rope?”
Haohai Dayu sneered and pointed at the soldiers passing by.
"Look at the age of these people!"
"Many of them are over forty years old. This proves that the young people of Great Ming are unwilling to be soldiers. There is a gap between the veterans and recruits in your Great Ming army!”
"You're a civil official, you don't know how to lead troops to war.”
"You can ask the generals of your Great Ming Dynasty. If the army is full of veterans over the age of forty, how long can this army maintain its fighting strength?”
"Uhh…"
Haohai Dayu didn't want to say these words, but it was too difficult for a Prairie man to hold back his thoughts.
Li Fangyuan, who was a spineless person, was so frightened by the hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers that he almost peed his pants.
If he didn't say anything, he would feel like he was the monkey who was killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
Big Ming hadn't even killed the chicken, and these monkeys were already scared silly. Wouldn't that be too embarrassing for the reputation of my ancestor, Genghis Khan?
Geng Xuan didn't know how to refute Haohai Dayu's words and could only look at Zhu Yuanzhang for help.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked by Haohai Dayu's words.
If it wasn't for this fellow's reminder, he almost wouldn't have noticed this problem.
That's right!
Why are there no young people in the Ming army?
Why were young people unwilling to join the army?
Is it really as my eldest grandson said, that there is a problem with the military household system of our Ming Dynasty? Not only is it unable to guarantee the number of soldiers, but it is also something that limits the military strength of the Ming Dynasty?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already fallen into deep self-doubt.
Before meeting Qin Mu, he had always felt that he was doing a good job as an emperor.
Although it couldn't be said that he was perceptive, it could be considered that he had created a foundation for Ming Dynasty.
Although this process was unfair to some of his old friends, in order to ensure the smooth inheritance of the Great Ming Emperor's throne and ensure that their Zhu family could sit on the throne safely for generations, it was not a big deal for him to bear some infamy.
However, ever since he saw Qin Mu, this grandson of his, he realized that he was losing more and more confidence, and he was also doubting himself more and more.
If there was a problem with the military household system, would there be a problem with the civilian household system, the craftsman household system, and the miscellaneous household system?
After the forty-eight guards finished inspecting, it was time for the armies of the various vassal kings.
Every year, the leader was the Crown Prince, but because of the Crown Prince's death, it was replaced by the Emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.
Therefore, when Zhu Yunwen rode on a tall horse and led 300 Eastern Palace guards onto the drill ground, all the civil and military officials in the court fell into a state of agitation.
This political implication was too obvious. His Majesty the Emperor had the intention of choosing a royal grandson!
Moreover, many people had long heard that the Emperor had even written an edict to confer the title of Imperial Grandson, but for some reason, it had not been announced.
Now that they saw the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen leading the team ahead of the many uncles, everyone had a faint guess in their hearts.
Perhaps, after this military exercise, the Emperor will issue an edict to confer the title of Great Bright Emperor's grandson?
Zhu Di, who was standing below the stage, looked at his eldest nephew, who was riding a tall horse. He was so angry that he clenched his fists so tightly that water was about to come out.
Was the old master muddleheaded?
We have so many princes, but we have to appoint such a useless snack!
Could it be because he was the eldest son?
Father!
Could it be that in your heart, the system of direct succession is really that important!
Zhu Di felt extremely depressed. He really wanted to roar at the sky and scold the old man.
However, when his gaze swept across the string of bead curtains on the city gate tower, his eyes could not help but dodge.
There was nothing he could do. The old master's power was too strong!
Even if he was filled with indignation and anger, he did not dare to look at the old man directly, let alone debate with him personally.
"Master Yao!"
"I can't take it anymore!"
Yao Guangxiao nodded.
"Your Highness, if you really can't hold it in, then you might as well indulge yourself for once!”
"For this military exercise, Your Highness can go all out.”
"As for the consequences, this old monk will accompany Your Highness to bear it!”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Your Highness is too serious. It is the duty of a strategist to plan for the Lord.”
……
On the city wall, Geng Xuan saw that Zhu Yunwen's guards had a clear-cut flag and looked imposing. He finally regained some face.
"Haohai Dayu, what do you think of my Great Bright Emperor's Zhangsun Guards?”
Haohai Dayu pursed his lips in disdain.
"The guards are alright, they're all strong men, it's just that your Great Bright Emperor's eldest grandson is too thin and weak, a gust of wind can blow him down.”
Geng Xuan was furious when he heard this. Just as he was about to scold the other party, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blow past.
Geng Xuan hurriedly raised his sleeve to cover his eyes. However, when he lowered his sleeve again, he saw a shocking scene.
The sudden wind not only messed up the flags of the inspection team, but also startled the warhorse of the eldest grandson, Zhu Yunwen, causing it to run around in fright.
Zhu Yunwen was not good at riding horses, so she chose the most docile mares this time.
However, the mares were also frightened. After being frightened, their front legs flew up and Zhu Yunwen was directly thrown down.
When Haohai Dayu saw that the Great Bright Emperor's eldest grandson was really blown off his horse by a gust of wind, he couldn't help but laugh until he was swaying back and forth.
"What did I say?"
"I told you this child could be blown down by a gust of wind, hahaha!”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for his grandson while sulking.
At this moment, Old Master Zhu even had the heart to slaughter this Haohai Dayu.
If anything happened to Zhu Yunwen, he might really kill this guy.
Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen didn't fall too hard. She got up from the ground and walked directly to the next inspection process.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel gratified.
At least this child didn't cry. If he cried in front of hundreds of thousands of troops and the envoys of the vassal states, then the dignity of Great Ming would really be swept away.
"Order the imperial physician to treat this child Yun Wen properly and make sure that she doesn't fall ill!”
"Yes, sir!"
The little eunuch beside Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly nodded in agreement and then ran to call the imperial physician.
Although there was a small disturbance in the military exercise, the military exercise would not stop.
However, ever since the strong wind, the originally clear sky had changed. It became dark, as if it would rain at any moment.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turn ugly.
For today's military exercise, he had specially brought it forward many days and asked the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor to calculate the auspicious date and time, and then they calculated such weather?
Old Master Zhu secretly made up his mind. When he returned, he would kill this bunch of trash and hang them up one by one to let them bleed!
