Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

It is gratifying and congratulatory that the 3,000 new troops defeated the 30,000 old troops, but why did the emperor sigh? "Wu Buwei, the military advisor on the side, asked cautiously.

As a member of the Royal Advisory Group and the emperor's military advisor, he naturally had to accompany the emperor when he traveled.

Wu Buwei was not a general who led the army in battle, but he saw the 3,000 new troops with a renewed spirit and well-trained skills. He also knew that in the field, as long as the new army had sufficient ammunition, it was enough to crush 10,000 or even 30,000 old troops.

This shouldn't be inspiring and gratifying, but why is the emperor frowning and sighing repeatedly?

Wu Buwei is a smart man who also understands the ways of the world. He also understands that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Therefore, he is observant of words and deeds and is cautious in his words and deeds.

After a period of observation, he found that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be very different from ordinary kings. He was not only wise, but also open-minded and progressive. He also invented and created many amazing things, especially his ability to make money. He was so impressed that he fell into disbelief.

It is said that loyal words are offensive to the ears, but Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be able to listen to any harsh words and adopt good suggestions. There were hidden signs of a sage king. This made him feel relieved and he dared to ask questions.

"It's easy to get a thousand armies, but it's hard to find a general..." Zhu Youjian sighed with a bitter face.

The formation, training, and formation of the new army was not easy in the first place. It took him a lot of time, energy, and a lot of money, but it finally took shape, and it was indeed worthy of celebration.

However, he still lacks a general who is proficient in the art of war, can lead troops to fight, and act independently. For this matter, his head has swelled several times, and it hurts.

"Old Wu, do you have any good talents you can recommend to me?"

"Ah... Your Majesty, I really have three young generals to recommend you." Wu Buwei seemed to be in a daze for two or three minutes before he hurriedly answered.

The emperor's "Old Wu" made him shiver, and at the same time he was as excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

It seemed like a casual address, but it had a profound meaning. The emperor treated him as a true confidant, so he was so casual. How could it not make him excited?

What he was holding were the emperor's dragon legs, the thickest ones in the world, hehe.

As for the three young generals to be recommended, they are not just talking nonsense to deal with the emperor, but sincerely want to recommend talents to the emperor.

Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, Chang Yuchun, the Duke of E, and Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang, were all outstanding men who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, to conquer the country. The three families once had great glory, but by the time it was passed down to the generation of Xu Yu, Chang Buzhou, and Lan Fang, they had already declined. Almost no one remembers it, not to mention that the three of them were still common people, making their lives even more miserable.

Among the three, Xu Yu and Chang Buzhou relied on their own abilities to get into the military position of the city gate captain. Although they were just guards at the city gate, they were still small officers. Relying on the convenience of guarding the city gate, Lan Fang was the worst off, working as a coolie at the dock.

Lan Fang's great-grandfather, Lan Yu, was labeled as a rebel and his family was executed. Lan Fang's branch was a side branch and was not favored by the elders of the clan. His reputation was not known and even declined day by day. Instead, he was lucky enough to escape. Death disaster.

Lan Fang's original name was Lan Hu. He was frail and sick when he was young, and saw that he could not be cured. Fortunately, he met a Taoist priest who performed magic to save him. The old Taoist taught him Taoist Qi training and boxing skills. He also said that his name was too easy to pronounce, so he changed his name. Lan Fang.

Lan Fang has been practicing Taoist qigong and boxing and kicking skills for many years. When he became an adult, he was as strong as a calf and had infinite strength. He had mastered his boxing and kicking skills and made a living by unloading goods at the dock.

For such a majestic and fierce man to have a girly name, he was inevitably teased by his childhood friends and neighbors. Lan Fang just smiled casually and didn't take it seriously.

Until one day, when he was ridiculed by a group of gangsters at the dock and forced to pay protection money, Lan Fang couldn't bear it anymore and took action in anger. He single-handedly singled out more than thirty gangsters and beat them until they were howling like ghosts. Even his own mother couldn't recognize him. .

At this time, people realized how terrifying Lan Fang's force was. The gangsters were beaten until they were convinced. They all knelt down and kowtowed to their elder brother.
