First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 13 The Self-proclaimed Duke
Time is really the fairest existence. He will not become faster because the child prays to grow up quickly, nor will it slow down because the old man prays to grow old slowly.

I don't know how long Xiaozhu has been like this, two months and three months?Or four months?
I don’t know, I live in this space every day, except when I was taken out to watch it during the Spring Festival, I never went out again, and I didn’t have anything to pass the time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very busy, and the Ma family had a lot of work every day. Only Yu'er and the nanny guarded him every step of the way.

The only interesting thing is to listen to the gossip of Houzhai. After all, with the expansion of power, there are more and more women in Comrade Zhu.

But in fact, after listening to it for a long time, it is not interesting. After all, Ma's position is too detached, so detached that no one dares to come close to him, let alone his opponents.

During the Chinese New Year, there were two new ladies and sisters. After all, they were newcomers, and they were quite favored. However, just because she said a few words to Mrs. Ma, who pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, without waiting for Mrs. Ma to say anything, the two poor scumbags were taken away. Furious Lao Zhu ordered the cane to be killed!
Even their father and brother were reprimanded, and they went to the front within a few days and never came back...

The backyard is nothing more than those unpromising sneers at each other, and in a word, no one dares to do any shady tactics.

As for the pregnant Li, with Ma's watch over her, no one dared to touch her. She was well raised. After all, she would face the anger of Ma's and Zhu Yuanzhang's anger at the first hand. Once discovered, the whole family would die.

In March of the 16th year of Zhizheng, Zhang Shicheng launched an offensive in the Yangtze River Delta to attack the Yuan army in the south of the Yangtze River.

Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the land and water army to attack Jiqing for the third time.On the third day, Chen Zhaoxian's barracks outside the city was broken, and 6000 of his troops surrendered.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the surrendered army had doubts, and the army was uncertain.So Zhu Yuanzhang chose [-] warriors from the surrendered army to be his pro-army and guarded at night, and he had only one personal soldier to lead Feng Guoyong.

The next day, when Jiang Jun learned about this, he was very moved, all his doubts disappeared, and he was willing to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.

As a result, the war went very smoothly, and within ten days, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing.After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the city, he ordered to appease the people and changed Jiqing to Yingtianfu.

After the Xiaoming King Han Liner was reported, Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted to a colleague of the Privy Council, and soon he was promoted to the Pingzhang of the Zhongshu Province in Jiangnan and other offices.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up the building of the Grand Marshal Kangyi's mansion in Yingtian, with Liao Yongan as the commander of the army, and Li Shanchang as the left and right ministers.

Chang Yuchun and Zhang Yuan were ordered to lead [-] elites to escort Lao Zhu's family into Yingtianfu!
Comrade Xiao Zhu didn't sleep this time, but he still didn't see his future father-in-law Chang Yuchun.

In fact, the days in Yingtianfu are no different from those in Hezhou Taiping, they are all activities in the same house.

About two months later, Zhu Yuanzhang walked in happily, and Xiao Zhu was holding Ma Shi's hand and walking crookedly, calling her mother a few times from time to time.

"Haha! My Biao'er walks really steadily. As expected of my son, he is much better than Xu Datang and their family!"

"Go, why don't you compare yourself to the older son, the two younger ones can't even climb."

Classmate Xiao Zhu walked over, leaning on Lao Zhu's lap, raising his head and calling for his father.

Comrade Lao Zhu's father didn't cry for nothing this year, and what Xiao Zhu said most clearly was his father.

Seeing Lao Zhu pick up his son and stab his face with a stubble, Ma Shi smiled and asked, "What's the matter? It makes my husband so happy, but we haven't seen your smiling face for almost a month."

Lao Zhu waved his hands and the people standing beside him all retreated and said, "Hey, isn't this annoying recently, girl, let's tell you the good news, the envoys have already started to prepare for the grand ceremony!"

"You will be the lady of the country in a few days, hahahaha, are you happy?"

Ma also showed a smile, but thought of something: "Happy is happy, but why is it so sudden, is the prince of the country named by the Ming king?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Han Lin'er is just a king, how dare you give us the title, I made it myself."

"And the people below can't wait, and they haven't moved their positions for a long time."

Ma advised: "Chongba, the people below are anxious to be promoted, you can't be anxious, you are still under the name of King Ming after all, so self-proclaimed publicity for no reason is to tear your face with Han Liner directly, you have to think carefully!"

Classmate Zhu Biao quietly hugged Lao Zhu's neck and listened, and it was his turn to intervene.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out a hand and took his wife's hand: "Don't worry, we have already thought about it carefully with Li Shanchang and the others, the pros outweigh the cons, and being a marshal is different from being a prince, so we will Officially changed from a warrior to a master of the party!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Ma saw that her husband had made up his mind, so he did not persuade him any further, with a smile on his face, he said to the door: "Ruyi, go and tell the kitchen to make more dishes that the commander is willing to eat, and take two more jars. liquor."

"Hey, the girl still loves us, let's have a few drinks with us today, this is a big happy event for our family!"

"By the way, Duke Feng made Biao'er the heir apparent that day, so that all three of our family would be promoted."

Ma walked over and pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down, stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders: "Forget it, Biao'er is still young, such a big blessing is not a good thing for a child, just wait a few more years."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and he was right. Let's talk about a prince of a country. At the very least, we have to earn a throne for our son.

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang's civil and military ministers jointly signed a letter to "persuade him to enter", advising him to be king and hegemony. Before he was 1356 years old, he established himself as "Wu Guogong" in today's Nanjing!
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged Li Shanchang and other literati in place.Since it was mainly a wartime arrangement at the time, this civilian government was also set up around the wartime military.The left and right councilors were Li Shanchang and Li Siyan, and the other attendants were military staff officers or doctors of literature.Together they formed Zhu Yuanzhang's think tank.

In the army, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the front, back, left, right, middle, and five military marshals' mansions, and in each military marshal's mansion, there were vanguard officers.After these marshals and vanguards attacked the city and sacked the land, some of them appointed local guards, and they were still the marshals or vanguards of the five armies.

He also set up the Left and Right Soldiers and Horses Division, responsible for monitoring the civil servants and military generals, and also sent spies to explore information all over the country, and draw maps in order to sweep the world smoothly in the future.

　This chapter is only [-] words long, which is not much, but it is quite memorable for a newbie like me. I never thought the results of this book would be so good (or maybe I didn’t know it)
　　I hope this book can be signed. Although it is said that the signing is just the beginning of the street, I still hope to be recognized (ì_í)
　　Thank you for your support, especially the old buddies who have always supported and encouraged me. To be honest, I am too lazy to read novels with only more than 1 words, but you not only read, but are willing to encourage and support me. I am really grateful!
