Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 31 Fourteen, not too small!

In the 21st year of Hongwu, in order to solve the great trouble in the Northeast, on the second day of the first lunar month, Lao Zhu appointed Song Guogong Feng Sheng as the general who conquered the captives.

Ying Guogong Fu Youde, Yongchang Hou Lanyu are the left and right deputy generals, Nanxiong Hou Zhaoyong, Dingyuan Hou Wangbi are the left generals, Dongchuan Hou Huhai, Wuding Hou Guoying are the right generals, and the former military governor Shang Yan is the military counselor, leading a division of 20 people Naha, the Taiwei of the Northern Expedition Remnant Yuan, came out.

On the third day of February, Lan Yu led a light cavalry and rode in heavy snow to send out troops, killed Pingzhanguolai, captured his son Bulanxi, and returned with men and horses.

With two ambitions in his heart, Naha hesitated, and sent envoys to the Ming army's garrison several times, in the name of surrendering, to see the reality of the Ming army.

With the Ming army advancing step by step, Nahachu was forced to surrender.Ming got more than 20 soldiers and civilians, countless sheep, horses, donkeys, camels, and luggage, and finally wiped out the power of the Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong.

At the end of June, Fu Youde garrisoned Daning with the newly acquired Han sergeants from the Liao region, and Feng Sheng and other victorious troops were in charge.

Liaodong has since become the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, and later became part of the Nuer Gandu Division.

Nahachu was granted the title of Marquis of Haixi and given the iron certificate of Danshu, and his second son, the Buddhist slave, was sent to the side of the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying.

It is said that Naha was born as the descendant of Muhuali, one of the four heroes of Genghis Khan.

In fact, defeating Nahachu this time does not mean that Ming's Northern Expedition is over.Lao Zhu ordered Lanyu, the Marquis of Yongchang, to be the general who conquered the captives, Tang Shengzong, the Marquis of Yan'an, and Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, to be the left and right deputy generals, and the governor Qian Shi Geng Zhong and Sun Ke to be the left and right generals. He led an army of 15 to continue the conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

It was also in this year that the ten-year-old Zhu Yunqi was named the king of Liyang County, and Zhu Yunxi was named the king of Jiyang County.

According to the Huangming Zu Xun, the title of the county king is generally two characters, and the names of ancient counties are more common.

Logically speaking, the back cover of Zhu Yunqi, the county king, is in Liyang.It's just that Liyang changed the prefecture into a county, which belongs to Yingtianfu.And Zhu Yunxi's Jiyang also belonged to Yingtian Mansion, which seemed to be quite different.

But everyone understood that once the crown prince ascended the throne, the two county kings would be promoted to princes.

"Grandfather, let the prince of Zhongshan train for me." Zhu Xiongying rushed to the Hall of Martial Arts, a little excited, "Let Cao Guogong accompany you, Sun Chen's navy and four guards are still short of generals."

Lao Zhu looked at the heroic young man in front of him, and smiled, "Ying'er, don't think about your navy. We're going to choose a concubine for you, that's the big deal!"

This is not a big deal, Zhu Xiongying was in a hurry, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson's first ship has come back. It's just a ship of ordinary goods, and you can get 9 taels of silver in Dongying, and it's about to go into storage!"

Zhu Xiongying showed off the booklet and handed it over.

Old Zhu was taken aback, and then quickly picked it up, "Yinger, I remember your fleet, and you went to Nanyang?"

"There is a fleet in Dongying, and two ships were lost." Zhu Xiongying was also a little helpless, and then a little annoyed, "Those Japanese pirates are also arrogant, and dare to attack my master Wang!"

Old Zhu knew the situation of Zhu Xiongying's sailors. There were merchants and cargo ships in that fleet, and they were escorted by four lucky boats.As for the goods, they are just some miscellaneous ordinary goods, and relatively rare luxury goods are rare. It is said that a shipment of goods is only 1 taels.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Grandfather, the grandson will reward the good and punish the evil when this batch of money is put into the treasury. It's just that in addition to providing compensation to the soldiers, these soldiers should also receive some rewards. This is something that the grandson has no way to decide."

Old Zhu was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is it Zhang He who is looking for the waterway and training the water for you?"

Seeing Zhu Xiongying nod, Lao Zhu said, "He has made many military exploits. He traveled to and from Liaodong for 12 years, and escorted him by sea ten times. He has worked hard. Let's see, it's time to give him a Marquis of Navigation. Does he have any heirs?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded again and again, and Lao Zhu continued, "If you have an heir, you can call someone to the Taisun's residence, and you can make arrangements."

"Where's Feng Cheng?" Zhu Xiongying said with a shy face, "For Duke Ying's sake, it's time to become a prince."

Old Zhu shook his head, and said directly, "Feng Sheng has just made great achievements, and now it is not easy to confiscate Feng City. Besides, it is only a little meritorious service. It seems that our Daming's title is not valuable. Let him practice again. Let him and your second uncle contribute more. When will the pirates be wiped out, and when will they be knighted!"

Continuing to look at Zhu Xiongying's excerpts, Old Zhu suddenly laughed, "Ying'er, you have really grown up, and you dare to play tricks in front of your grandpa!"

Zhu Xiongying pretended to be stupid and looked puzzled, "Grandpa Huang, I don't know what you're talking about?"

"You only said that two boats were missing, and there were more than [-] people who capsized with the boat. According to the battle report, three people were killed in battle, eighteen were injured, and four people died of illness." Old Zhu Zhengse said to Zhu Xiongying, "The loss of money and food, and the expenditure of officials, you don't have any of this."

Zhu Xiongying was a little helpless, so he could only take out another statement from his sleeve, "Isn't this to let the grandpa see the credit of his grandson, it looks better on the books."

Old Zhu laughed, and after studying it carefully, he said, "So, although the loss is quite large, this time we went to sea and earned 4 taels of silver for our internal funds?"

"There should be, and it doesn't count that my grandson sent people to stay in Dongying to inquire about the news." Zhu Xiongying said, and continued, "This time I went to sea, I think my subordinates dare not do more greedy ink, but I guess the people below can drink too much." Order soup. Grandpa Huang, we made money!"

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Your father is going to Xi'an for inspection soon, and we don't have time to talk to you. You go to mess with your navy."

Zhu Xiongying remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you tell me to go with Duke Xin to inspect the coastal defense?"

"Your father is going to inspect Xi'an, so you stay with us." Old Zhu didn't care about any promises, just teasing his grandson, "I'll talk about it when your father comes back, and then I'll think about the marriage for you."

This made Zhu Xiongying look bitter. He has been in Daming for 14 years, and his activity site has always been in Yingtianfu.The only time I went out for a long time, I came back halfway before returning to my hometown in Fengyang.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's unhappy look, Lao Zhu patted the dragon chair, "Ying'er, talk to us."

Touching Zhu Xiongying's head, Old Zhu smiled happily, "Our Yinger will be fourteen soon, and it's time to start a family. We Yinger work hard, we can still see our great-grandson, right?"

Zhu Xiongying was taken aback. I am fourteen now, which is still too young.According to Lao Zhu's expectations, it is best to have cubs at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

"Grandfather, should we wait a few more years?" Zhu Xiongying said in embarrassment, "I was born only in the nineteenth year of my father, don't worry about my grandson!"

Lao Zhu is in a hurry now, he is feudal and old-fashioned sometimes, "Why can't it be earlier?! Let's hug our great-grandson earlier, so that we can close our eyes. Go over there and say to your grandma and concubine, They should be happy too!"

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying didn't speak, Old Zhu said earnestly, "We sent someone to send you girls in your palace, but we know you haven't touched any of them! Ying'er, you are fourteen, you are not young!"

Fourteen, is it too big? !

I still want to live a few more years, too young for activities that are not suitable for children.Although in this era, thirteen and fourteen, sometimes they are not regarded as a child anymore, but as a half-worker.

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying didn't speak up, Lao Zhu was also helpless.This grandson of his is just too sensible and assertive, and sometimes he is deflated.

Or look for other topics, Lao Zhu has a way to deal with this bastard, "Ying'er, you said your grandson concubine, should we help you choose at Wenchen's house, or Wu Xun?"

"Wu Xun." Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth and said to Lao Zhu, "I can't pee in the same pot with some civil servants. They all want me to be Renzong in the future. I can't be fooled!"

Hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Old Zhu laughed out loud. He didn't want his son and grandson to be Emperor Renzong, and he didn't like his children and grandchildren being manipulated by civil officials.

Lao Zhu then said, "Then you have to think about it clearly. After Wu Xun, there may be foreign relatives involved in politics."

"Grandfather, I think those martial arts are one with our family." Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "In the future, my children and grandchildren should also choose their wives in these noble families. Side concubine, At that time, you can consider choosing among civil servants."

Lao Zhu's eyes brightened, and he was quite relieved, "Well, Grandpa Huang will choose a good concubine for you, and fill you in as a side concubine! We will take care of this at the end of the year, and we should have a great-grandson next year." !"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu speechlessly, we are your own grandson, why do you want to play tricks like this?
For Zhu Xiongying's silent accusation, Lao Zhu didn't take it seriously, but when he thought about seeing his great-grandson, he looked forward to it, that is four generations living under the same roof!
