As the coronation ceremony approached.
The palace was filled with joy.
The Ministry of Rites also tormented Zhu Yunhao, teaching him the etiquette and rituals of the coronation.
This made Zhu Yunhao a little irritated, but there was nothing he could do.
He had no choice.
Ascending to the throne was to prove the legitimacy and orthodoxy of one's throne.
This series of rituals could not be exempted.
It would be disrespectful to his ascension if he did not.
It was also lowering his status.
The proper pomp and ceremony had to be carried out.
"Have you thought about it?"
"What should I give your father?"
"And what is your country's name?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, as someone who had experienced it before, was also imparting his experience to Zhu Yunhao and reminding him what to do.
"I already have one."
"I've already thought about the posthumous titles of father and mother.”
Zhu Yunhao sighed and said," It's so tiring to ascend the throne. I've just gone through some procedures, but I still feel very tired."”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud." And this is because time was short. If the complete set was completed, you wouldn't know what it would be like."”
"Have a good rest today. You have to wake up early tomorrow.”
"By the way, what year name did you prepare?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
He felt a little lonely.
Change the year number.
Then his Hongwu title would enter history and become a thing of the past.
The new year title would become the new symbol of Da Ming.
“……。”
Zhu Yunhao was about to speak when she saw Zhu Dayong and Ru Chang enter.
"Your Majesty."
"Retired Emperor."
" I just received a report," Ru Chang said." The rebel army on the north bank of the Yangtze River has set out from Chuzhou and is stationed along the Yangtze River. It faces the capital troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River across the river."”
"Act as if you're going to cross the river at any time.”
Ru Chang's words made Old Zhu pale with fright. He said,"How can it be so fast?"
"Could it be that Second Brother's army has already arrived?”
Zhu Yunhao looked at Zhu Dayong.
"Your Majesty, the King of Qin's rebel army is still on the way, and the King of Yan's rebel army has not arrived yet," said Zhu Dayong.”
"The north bank of the Yangtze River is where the guards of the three regions are located, as well as the troops of the King of Jin, King of Qi, and King of Zhou.”
"Then why are they so close to the north bank of the Yangtze River?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.”
"Forcibly crossing the river?"
"They should be putting on a show, hoping to scare the Imperial Court and refuse the coronation," said Ru Chang.”
"If the rebel army attacks during the coronation ceremony, it will be bad for Your Majesty's ascension.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression darkened.
He also knew that there was such a possibility.
Although Third Brother and the others couldn't really cross the river.
However, this attitude did cause a lot of pressure.
"Are you trying to scare me?" Zhu Yunhao said disdainfully.”
"Zhen's uncles are really whimsical.”
He stood up and said,"Since they dare to come to the north bank of the Yangtze River, I will give them a big gift."”
"Send the order to the Second Master."
"Have them bombard the north bank.”
"Friends from afar, greet them with cannonballs!”
"Let's see who's scaring who."
He quickly gave the order. After Zhu Da Yong recorded the order, he immediately turned around and left.
Ru Chang bowed and left.
Since His Majesty had made arrangements, there was no need to worry.
"Second master?"
"Yunchen, what do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.”
"It's the establishment of the army."
"The new army under my command is not in accordance with the establishment of the imperial court. It is a new establishment," said Zhu Yunhao.”
"Actually, it's just a name.”
He gave a concise explanation.
"Since there are two masters, then there must be another master, right?"。”
"Yes, there is indeed a teacher."”
He didn't just have a teacher.
He had three divisions.
Each division had more than 12,000 people.
Fully armed.
At the same time, there were also tanks and armored units.
……
On the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Di and the others stood by the sea and looked at the south bank again.
They could see that there were many ships at the opposite ferry, but all of them were docked at the ferry.
There were even soldiers walking around.
"Zhu Yunhao, this little nephew, still wants to ascend the throne. Our posture can scare him into not daring to act rashly.”
Zhu Xiong laughed in disdain.
Hearing this.
Zhu Rong also laughed out loud and said,""I'm afraid little nephew won't be able to sleep tonight.”
"We rushed over here and can force our way across the river at any time.”
"Breaking his dream of becoming emperor in one fell swoop.”
Zhu Di also smiled.
This coronation ceremony.
He definitely did not want to see that.
Once he ascended the throne, he would be the proper Emperor of Ming Dynasty in terms of etiquette.
Father is still in the hands of that kid.
This would cause them a series of troubles.
If…
If he could make a gesture of crossing the river and scare him into not daring to ascend the throne.
That would be great.
"I hope this kid is scared."
Zhu Di thought to himself as he observed the situation of the Jing camp across the Yangtze River.
Previously, it had been at night, so he had not been able to see the soldiers of the capital camp clearly. This was the perfect time to observe them during the day.
Marching, fighting, scouting.
Zhu Di was well versed in this.
"Old Eleven's 50,000 strong army will be sailing down the river in these few days.”
"If his navy arrives, we don't have to worry about the ships crossing the river."”
" Yes," Zhu Rong said." 11th brother's navy has solved our urgent problem. We can't make it in time even if we build ships."”
"Looking at the time, Second Brother should be arriving soon.”
……
"Yes."
"I promise to complete the order."
In the Second Division's headquarters.
After receiving the order, Master Zhu immediately said,""Pass on my orders."
"The Cannon Regiment is giving the guests on the other side a big surprise.”
"Give them a base number.”
"Just attack their camp."
" Commander," Chief of Staff Zhu Da Can said with a smile," we just received a report from the frontline. It says that a few people dressed in fancy clothes, who are suspected to be the leaders of the vassal kings, have appeared at the observation point on the other side.”
"Do you want to give them a hard time?”
"For example, wipe them all out."
"Old ginseng, you're more ruthless than me." Master Zhu glared at him.”
"All at once?"
"Later, His Majesty will kill the two of us.”
"Let's go to the front and take a look."
Very quickly.
Master Zhu, the Chief of Staff, and the other staff officers rushed to the front.
They raised their binoculars.
This was much more powerful than what Zhu Di and the others could see with their naked eyes.
"It's them."
"King of Jin Zhu Xi, King of Yan Zhu Di."
Master Zhu saw Zhu Di and the others clearly through the binoculars. He cursed,"Great Ginseng Zhu, you're good."
"Do you really want to wipe me out? Are you trying to harm me or curse me?”
Zhu Dashen also raised his binoculars and said,""I don't know either. I didn't expect it to be them.”
"Since they're here, how can we not give them some gifts?”
"Do you want to make a flower bloom in the middle of the Yangtze River and let the artillery regiment perform a flower show?”
Master Zhu chuckled and said,""That's a good idea."
"Advisor Zhu, go."
"Tell the artillery regiment to fire a few shots at the middle of the Yangtze River.”
"But I was f * cking interrupted.”
The advisor immediately turned around and left.
The artillery regiment was also quickly preparing.
Opposite him.
Zhu Di saw a group of people in strange clothes holding something and looking in their direction.
He could not help but feel puzzled.
"Who are those people?"
"What are they doing?"
Zhu Xiong and the others were all puzzled.
This was the first time they had seen the soldiers of the New Army.
Naturally, he didn't know.
"Attention all units."
"Ready!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Fire!"
Rumble!
The cannon fired.
Zhu Di and the others were shocked.
In the next moment.
They saw the river water in front of them suddenly explode.
Huge waves that were as tall as white meters were raised.
But this was not the end.
They looked up at the sky.
A sharp whistling sound could be heard.
It flew past their heads.
Then, they headed towards the army camp behind them.
Bang!
Bang!
Boom!
An explosion sounded.
It bloomed in the military camp in an instant.
The army camp was immediately thrown into chaos.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness!"
The guards of Zhu Di and the others immediately stepped forward and blocked in front of them. At the same time, there were also guards protecting them as they retreated in panic.
"Hahaha."
A burst of laughter rang out.
Zhu Di and the others realized that the other party was laughing out loud.
Their laughter could be heard across the Yangtze River. How arrogant were they?
"Damn it!"
"They did it."
" Despicable and shameless. How dare you sneak attack me!"
Zhu Xiong gritted his teeth and cursed,"I'll beat them up. I'll definitely cut them into pieces."”
Zhu Di and the others 'expressions were also extremely ugly.
He was actually mocked by the other party.
"What was that just now?"
"Could it be that they used cannons to bombard the Yangtze River?”
After Zhu Di and the others retreated to what they thought was a safe area, Zhu Xiong asked.
"I don't know."
"Old Fourth, don't you often lead troops to war?" Zhu Rong shook his head.”
"Do you know if it was Cannon just now?”
"I don't know either." Zhu Di's expression flickered.”
"But I know that the cannons in my army are definitely not like this.”
"I clearly heard that the shell exploded after falling into the water.”
"However, the cannons of my army will not explode.”
The cannons of the Ming Dynasty used bullets to kill.
What happened just now was a cannonball fired by a field artillery.
That lethality and destructive power were two completely different concepts.
"Your Highness." 0
"Your Highness."
At this moment.
The army camp that had been bombarded was still being bombarded.
However, there were also people who brought troops to look for Zhu Di and the others.
"How is the camp?"
"Are there any casualties?"
His face was black and he looked very miserable.
He fell to the ground as soon as he got off the horse. He staggered forward and said,"Your Highness, the camp is in a sea of fire and corpses are strewn everywhere.”
"We have suffered heavy losses."
"Divine lightning fell from the sky and killed countless brothers…”
"Princes, please don't return to the camp.”
