Old Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, "Lan Yu is getting old and has lost some of the vigor he had when he was young. But he was still taught by your maternal grandfather and is still incredibly brave. Nowadays everyone says that Fu Youde is brave, but if you ask us, he is still somewhat different from your maternal grandfather."
In the early Ming Dynasty, there were many valiant generals, but none dared to challenge Chang Yuchun for the title of unparalleled bravery. Many people also say that Xu Da was cautious and peaceful, but in fact, although Chang Yuchun seemed brave, he was not without strategy; it's just that people only focused on his fierce bravery.
Zhu Yunying thought for a moment, still somewhat unsure, "Grandfather, if we really have to say who else we should pay attention to besides Xu Huizu, after Fu Youde and Lan Yu?"
Old Zhu understood Zhu Yunying's meaning; he was simply worried about the lack of generals in the court. In the early Ming Dynasty, the court was full of capable generals, both in terms of military talent and strategic brilliance.
But things are hard to say now. The Ming Dynasty now has some generals. There are founding heroes like Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Geng Bingwen, as well as second-generation meritorious officials like Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong, who seem to have some talent.
However, for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was certainly not a problem to have more famous generals in the court; this was only natural.
Old Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, "The success of a general is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers. Many people have talent, and they should be tempered on the battlefield. Veteran soldiers who survive a hundred battles are fierce soldiers. Generals who lead thousands of troops in many battles and do not lose have made some progress."
Ultimately, real-world experience is still the best way to train and improve.
Old Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Yu is not bad, you can use him. His son Zhang Fu is about your age, you can also use him. Qiu Fu is alright, but he is prone to getting carried away, so he can be used but not relied upon."
Zhu Yunying nodded immediately and then said, "Now that the army has returned from Goryeo, let's give some people a good talking-to. Grandfather, you must hold on! We have some famous generals, but Yin'er still needs more people!"
Old Zhu glared at Zhu Yunying and scolded irritably, "Do you really think I'm an ox or a horse? I wasn't worried enough about your father's team, so I left some people for you. Now, I have to meddle in our great-grandson's affairs too?!"
Zhu Yunying nodded seriously. It was definitely not a bad thing for Old Zhu to live a long life, and this was also Zhu Yunying's personal wish!
