Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 39 Rescue the General Sapphire

"Lan... General Lan!"

A soldier recognized Lan Yu, knelt down on one knee and shouted.

General Blue?

All the soldiers were startled when they heard the sound, and when they turned around to look, they all knelt down on one knee in unison:

"General Blue!"

Lan Yu didn't even look at the soldiers, but walked straight into the shop, and the soldiers hurried out of the way.

Inside the shop.

Huang Xiongying naturally frowned when he heard the soldiers' voices.

He didn't expect to attract Lan Yu, a very controversial figure in the Ming Dynasty, to him!
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a burly general in armor with a big knife on his waist, walking in at a galloping pace.

Behind him were several generals with respectful expressions.

Needless to say, the leader must be the legendary general of the Hongwu era, Sapphire.

Sure enough, majestic!

Huang Xiongying secretly admired in his heart.

Lan Yu's gaze also fell on Huang Xiongying.

Those eyes suddenly froze.

How is it him!

His nephew, the eldest grandson of Emperor Ming who had been dead for ten years, Zhu Xiongying!

Originally, I was still thinking about how to get in touch with the eldest grandson of the emperor. After all, the old emperor's eyeliner is not covered, so if I came to disturb him rashly, I might annoy the old emperor.

Now it's all effortless!
After being shocked for a moment, Sapphire also quickly figured it out.

The last time in Fu's mansion, Fu Youde invited him to drink wine, I am sure it was his nephew who made it up.

The wine is really good wine, even he who has tasted all the wines in the world can't help admiring it.

No wonder these soldiers in the army are so obsessed!

It was himself, after Fu Youde invited him to drink once, he never forgets it till now.

Suddenly, he saw Huang Xiongying coming forward.

"Cao Min has seen General Lan!"

Huang Xiongying bowed and was about to bow, but was supported by Lan Yu.

This is Daming's eldest grandson!
No matter how arrogant he is, Sapphire dare not be worshipped!
Huang Xiongying was slightly taken aback, only to see Lan Yu smiling, and said kindly: "My lord is righteous and provides free drinks for the soldiers. We admire it very much. It's too late to thank you. How can you accept the gift from your lord?!"

"General Lan praised the grassroots!"

Huang Xiongying spoke politely, but he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

According to historical documents, although Lan Yu was a famous general of the generation, he was perverse and arrogant. It was precisely because of this that one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, the Lan Yu case, was brought about.

When I saw you today, did you feel a little kind?
"Young master, these bastards are used to being loose in the army, but have they harassed you? If they harassed you, just tell us, and we will help you take care of it now!"

Sapphire pointed to the soldiers who came to drink.

When the soldiers heard this, they were so frightened that they almost peed, and they all lowered their heads.

Huang Xiongying smiled, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, they are all heroes who have devoted their lives to Daming and shed their blood. I heard that they will go to the front line soon. This wine is my respect to them!"

It was said that the trembling soldiers raised their heads and looked at Huang Xiongying with warmth and gratitude in their eyes.

There was an appreciative look on Sapphire's face.

Their warriors desperately killed the enemy on the battlefield, in addition to making military achievements, what they also wanted was respect!

Now the respect that Huang Xiongying gives to soldiers makes Lanyu stand in awe.

Why do they respect the old prince Zhu Biao so much?
It's not because Zhu Biao respects them, the old emperor has a bad temper, and those who have a big relationship with him are almost all rough, so it is inevitable that the old emperor will be angered sometimes.

Every time they committed a crime, the prince resolved it and saved many of them.

Especially these warriors, although they are fearless on the battlefield, but if they are idle, they are not so useful, and they will inevitably cause trouble.

At this time, Huang Xiongying certainly didn't know how much precious political heritage and contacts his real prince father had left for him.

Lan Yu smiled and said to Huang Xiongying: "My lord, can we have a drink too?"

"No problem at all!"

Being able to get acquainted with a famous general like Lan Yu, Huang Xiongying naturally would not refuse, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation: "General Lan, please come inside!"

"Please!"

Sapphire also made a gesture of invitation.

Before the two entered, Huang Xiongying stopped and looked back at the four generals following behind Lanyu.

After the previous conversation with the old emperor, Lan Yu naturally reacted faster, knowing that the two of them were talking, and it was really inappropriate to hear the four adopted sons by their side.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu immediately turned around and shouted to the four sons:
"Get out!"

The four were startled, and then they backed out as they said.

Lan Yu turned her head and smiled at Huang Xiongying: "This is our adopted son, he is not sensible!"

Huang Xiongying was speechless, needless to say, he also knew that these were Sapphire's adoptive sons, but these foster sons were really shocking.

Enter the private room.

Huang Xiongying asked the Guo brothers to prepare the food and wine.

When Lan Yu saw the Guo brothers, although she pretended not to know her, her face remained calm, but her heart was full of storms.

The old emperor actually arranged for the Guo brothers to be beside this young man, which means that the old emperor recognized the identity of this young man.

If you get the approval of the old emperor, you can't go wrong!

"I haven't asked the son's name yet!"

Lan Yu asked knowingly, but in fact he had already done an investigation.

Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "Huang Xiongying."

"Oh--"

Lan Yu was stunned, and then asked: "Mr. Huang, is this wine made by you?"

Huang Xiongying nodded.

Lan Yu said again: "Then you will lose a lot of money if you drink it like this?"

Huang Xiongying smiled and said: "General Lan doesn't know something, if he doesn't lose money, how can he make money?"

Lan Yu frowned slightly, she couldn't understand what Huang Xiongying meant.

Huang Xiongying smiled and said: "What you saw was that I gave these wines to the soldiers for free, but what you didn't see was that the reputation of the wine had already been quietly spread, otherwise how could I have attracted you, General Lan? ?”

"I see!"

When Sapphire suddenly realized, a bit of approval appeared on her face.

The two chatted casually.

However, Huang Xiongying discovered that Lan Yu was not as arrogant and arrogant as in historical documents.

Is it my own illusion?

After a while, the food and wine came up.

The food and drink are very simple, a plate of fried bacon with garlic, a plate of green vegetables, and a plate of peanuts.

Although Huang Xiongying is not short of money, he is not a person who eats and drinks too much and seeks pleasure, so he usually eats light food, which is also for the sake of his own health.

However, Lan Yu glanced at the food and wine on the table, and frowned slightly, as if displeased, but she didn't say anything.

"General Lan, I offer you a toast!"

Huang Xiongying raised his wine glass.

Now in his cognition, he is just a commoner, how can he be like other traversers, who is arrogant and pointing at the beginning?
You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot.

Huang Xiongying's two lifetimes have been based on this principle.

Lan Yu also hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and said solemnly: "Young Master Huang, please!"

After paying respects to each other, the two drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine!"

Lan Yu put down her wine glass, and couldn't help giving a big praise: "No wonder those bastards lined up in such a long line, they want to have a sip, haha..."

Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "If General Lan likes it, I'll give you a pot later!"

"it is good!"

Lan Yu didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "We'll keep the wine that Young Master gave you until the day of the big victory, and use it as a celebration wine!"

Saying that, Sapphire frowned slightly.

No!

Our nephews and grandchildren have all given us presents, so we can't say nothing!

Thinking about it, Lan Yu took off the saber on her body, and placed it in front of Huang Xiongying with a bang.

"This knife has been with us for many years, and I don't know how many thieves have been slaughtered. We have nothing to give you when we meet for the first time, so I will give you this knife!"

"This……"

Huang Xiongying was overwhelmed by Lan Yu's sudden delivery of the knife: "This is too precious, I can't take it!"

Lan Yu raised her big hand and said: "Young Master Huang donated fine wine to our soldiers, even if we don't care about money, our broken knife is nothing, since you regard our soldiers as brothers, then we will treat you as brothers too! "

Huang Xiongying: "..."

Why does this sound so familiar?

no……

Do all the military generals of the Ming Dynasty like to make friends and brothers so much?
Seeing Lan Yu's resolute expression, Huang Xiongying knew that it would be useless to refuse, so he immediately picked up the knife on the table.

The machete started with a heavy hand.

bass!
Huang Xiongying drew out the scimitar, suddenly the cold was overwhelming.

I saw that the scimitar was simple in shape, not gorgeous at all, but there was a faint light shining on the edge of the blade.

However, the blade is covered with criss-crossing vertical and horizontal marks, but it always shows the illustrious military exploits on the battlefield!
"Good knife!"

Huang Xiongying couldn't help admiring.

Seeing this, Lan Yu smiled triumphantly: "In the future, whoever dares to bully you and kill him with this knife will say it was our Lan Yu who killed him!"

Looking at Lan Yu's sincere eyes, Huang Xiongying felt warm in his heart.

"Xie Lan, General!"

Lan Yu waved her big hand: "Hey, if you treat us as brothers, don't be polite to us!"

Huang Xiongying accepted the treasured sword, and suddenly asked knowingly: "I see that the capital has gathered a lot of soldiers. Is General Lan going to march this time?"

"Not bad!"

Sapphire raised her head and drank a glass of wine, and then said quite proudly: "Tomorrow we will lead the army to the Southwest, so why do those bastards in the Southwest need us to lead the army in person? But those old generals are dead. Old man, there is nothing we can do!"

After a few glasses of wine, Sapphire's words began to reveal a sense of arrogance.

Huang Xiongying was speechless, it seemed that just now was indeed an illusion.

It's no wonder that this man has made great military exploits, and he will still be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in history.

This is very unlevel.

Emperor Hongwu sent you to the expedition because of his trust in you, but you are good, as if Emperor Hongwu begged you to go.

To put it mildly, it is taking credit and pride, but to say it seriously, it is arrogance.

It is now the 25th year of Hongwu, and in the 26th year of Hongwu, the general Lan Yu will be accused of treason by the commander of Jin Yiwei, Jiang Yu, and finally peeled off the real grass, ransacked the house, wiped out the three clans, and imprisoned all the people. About 5000 people were killed.

In order to calm the situation, Jiang Yu was also killed.

However, Huang Xiongying didn't feel sympathy for Lan Yu's murder.

Because it was made by Sapphire himself.

Today, the founding veterans of Ming Dynasty are indeed dead and old. Lan Yu is the No. 1 military general who does his part. Except for Zhu Di, King of Yan in Beiping, almost no one can compete with him.

But it was also like this, Emperor Hongwu was worried about Lan Yu.

The key point is that Lan Yu is really a rough person with no political wisdom at all. At this time, he is still arrogant and indulges in pleasure. He even complained to Emperor Hongwu that his rank is too low and he does not want to be under Fu Youde, Tang He and others.

At this time, Emperor Hongwu had already killed Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, and Lan Yu didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

Who do you say that Emperor Hongwu would kill if he didn't kill you?
If Zhu Biao is still there, perhaps Lan Yu can be saved from death, because Lan Yu himself is loyal to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao can control him.

However, once Zhu Biao left, the situation was completely different.

In history, Emperor Hongwu planned to let Zhu Yunqi inherit the great power, but Zhu Yunqi's cowardly temperament indirectly killed almost all the members of the military group that Zhu Yuanzhang built for Zhu Biao.

But no sympathy is no sympathy, Huang Xiongying felt that it was indeed a pity to kill.

Because Sapphire's military wisdom and his political wisdom are just the opposite.

He is an outstanding military strategist, leading the army with courage and strategy, facing the enemy bravely and fearlessly, as long as he leads the army to fight, there are almost no defeats.

Yan Wang Zhu Di learned many skills from Lan Yu.

His death also indirectly caused the failure of Ming generals.

It is precisely in this way that Yan Wang Zhu Di was given a chance...

Seeing that Huang Xiongying didn't answer, but showed a thoughtful expression, Lan Yu couldn't help asking: "Mr. Huang, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing."

Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "Drink!"

As he spoke, Huang Xiongying raised his wine glass and clinked a full glass with Lan Yu.

To be honest, Huang Xiongying didn't want to remind Sapphire, but would it be useful?

It's useless!
When the prince Zhu Biao was still there, he didn't know how many times he reminded Lan Yu to be cautious in his words and deeds, and obey the law, but Lan Yu still went his own way.

What's more, his own people are soft-spoken.

Maybe I can ask the old man to help me.

After all, if I have something to say, it is much more convenient to talk to my grandfather.

The reason why he wanted to save Lan Yu was that Huang Xiongying felt that it was a pity that such a Ming general who was compared to Wei Qing and Li Jing by Emperor Hongwu was killed, and more than [-] people were involved.

In short, he talked to the old man himself.

As for whether he can save the great general Sapphire, it depends on his own fortune...
