I want to be a grandson

Chapter 482 The Doorway Inside

In "History of the Ming Dynasty", Geng Bingwen is recorded like this: "Geng Bingwen guards Changxing, but the people of Wu are not allowed to indulge in their ambitions. The foundation of creation is more powerful."

Geng Bingwen inherited his father's position in his early years and defeated Zhang Shicheng's army many times.
Later, he followed Chang Yuchun and Xu Da to attack Datong, Shaanxi and other places.

He is Chang Yuchun's grandson and married Xu Da's daughter, so he and Geng Bingwen are on the same line.

In history, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, rebelled. Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen took Geng Bingwen as his general to lead an army against Zhu Di, but Zhending was defeated soon after.

The reason is that people's hearts are scattered and the team is not easy to lead.

Moreover, I don't know how many soldiers and horses he leads have two ambitions, and the battlefield changes rapidly. As long as one soldier and horse messes with you, it may bring failure!
Geng Bingwen was just a small defeat, but he immediately stabilized his position, which shows that his talent is still good.

However, Zhu Yunxi knew that Geng Bingwen was a partial general, not a general, and good at defense. He might not be good at taking the initiative to attack large-scale corps.
But when it comes to defensive defense, this is someone's housekeeping skill!
So Zhu Yunxi said: "Marquis Changxing, the lonely king wants you to go to the northwest to station in the Guanzhong area to defend against the enemy. What do you think?"

Geng Bingwen didn't know why there was such an arrangement, but he hurriedly saluted, "The last general obeys! He must live up to His Highness's trust!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "I heard that Geng Rui hasn't returned home for a long time and has been living in the barracks. I think Marquis Changxing misses him very much. Wang Zhong, let's reunite with Marquis Changxing and his son."

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, I will retire at the end..."

Geng Bingwen is really a little confused at this time, his son is being favored by His Highness, he is serving as the general of one party in the Shenji camp, and he is also in charge of training in the lecture hall, he is really very busy,

But no matter what, it's not impossible to see each other, right?

Having said that, it is quite normal for the family of generals to stay away all year round, coupled with inconvenient transportation.
Even if the father and son meet, it should be the son who comes to see his father, right?That's what's in order.

Hearing the meaning of Xia, it is to let myself go to see my son, this...

Although he couldn't tell what was wrong, he always felt weird.

After leaving the Wenhua Palace, Geng Bingwen and Wang Zhong walked together on the way to leave the palace.

Geng Bingwen tentatively asked: "My lord, how is your Highness doing?"

Wang Zhongdao: "If you go back to Master Hou, everything is fine, Your Highness, so you don't have to worry about Master Hou."

Geng Bingwen saw that the maids and eunuchs were busy, no one dared to make any noise, everything was done carefully, as if something happened,

Then he couldn't help asking: "Grandpa Wang, I don't know why His Highness sent me to Guanzhong, where..."

Wang Zhong told him the news of King Qin's death, and Geng Bingwen finally understood why His Highness made such an arrangement. Originally, the soldiers and horses in the Guanzhong area were usually restrained by King Qin. Now that King Qin is gone, he should find a general to sit in charge. .

When Geng Bingwen came to the lecture hall, someone immediately reported to Geng Rui that his father had come.

This surprised Geng Rui, his father is here?He quickly looked through the course schedule of the martial arts hall, and after repeated confirmations, he didn't find that his father had come to class recently.

"The child is visiting his father, father, why are you here?"

In the lobby, after meeting his father, Geng Rui immediately asked why.

Geng Bingwen said displeasedly: "Why, can't I come? You haven't been home for many days, and you almost forgot about me!"

Geng Rui smiled wryly and quickly said: "Father, this is the fault of the child, but the martial arts hall is of great importance, and idlers and others must not enter rashly. Father, please go, and the child will go home now..."

Upon hearing this, Geng Bingwen became furious: "Okay! You really have hard wings! Dare to say that I'm just an idler!"

Geng Rui hastily explained: "Father, that's not the meaning of the child..."

"Hmph! To tell you the truth, it was His Highness who told me that you would not go home and asked me to meet his son! The eunuch Wang Zhong of the East Palace personally sent me here!"

Geng Rui said in surprise: "Father, why is this?"

"You ask me, I ask who to go, well, there is not even a seat, this is your way of hospitality!"

Geng Rui hurriedly asked his father to sit down and brought tea. Since His Highness asked him to come, there would be no problem.

Geng Bingwen taught him another lesson before telling the news that King Qin passed away and Zhu Yunxi asked him to be stationed in the pass.

Geng Rui knew in his heart that this was His Highness's grace, but he thought about it a lot, and asked, "Father, since Your Highness asked you to be stationed in Guanzhong, do you have any other orders?"

Geng Bingwen scratched his head, and said in a daze: "Just let me come to the martial arts hall to meet you, but nothing else. Oh, last time I had fifty new muskets..."

"Musket?"

"Yes, it's a musket!"

Geng Rui frowned, and then looked up at the hall he was already familiar with, and he already had some calculations in his heart.

Then he tried to ask: "Father, the new musket developed by His Royal Highness is very different from the previous musket, whether it is loading ammunition, shooting method, or range, father's subordinates are proficient The man with the gun?"

Geng Bingwen said: "The new muskets are equipped in the Shenji camp and the lecture hall, but you can't see them in other places. I only heard people say how good the new muskets are, and they are confused. My subordinates How can I use..."

"Father, everyone in the Shenji Camp and the Martial Arts Hall can use it..."

Geng Bingwen's heart brightened, "You mean His Highness wants me to pick some soldiers from the Shenji Battalion?"

He said with surprise again: "That's great! Otherwise, no one will use the musket when you take it back. Wouldn't it be blind? It's a waste of good things! It's just fifty soldiers, which is a bit small..."

"Father……"

Geng Rui couldn't help but said: "Father, if His Highness wants you to find dozens of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, why would he let you speak in the martial arts hall?"

Geng Bingwen didn't react, blinked his eyes and said: "You mean His Highness asked me to lecture in the martial arts hall...how could this happen! Who doesn't know that the lecture hall is full of heaven's favored sons, what does His Highness's precious one look like... ..."

Seeing his son's affirmative expression, he said uncertainly: "You said, Your Highness really meant that..."

"hiss……"

Geng Bingwen's thoughts changed sharply, and he completely understood, but such understanding made him feel a little shocked!
He reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes gradually deepened.

"How can people who come out of the lecture hall serve as ordinary soldiers..."

The Martial Arts Hall has been opened for two sessions, and now it is the third session. The first batch of students are all the sons of nobles, and there are not many students.
But since the second period, the lecture hall has allowed those sons of thousands of households, and even the sons of hundreds of households to study in it, and the number of people has also increased greatly.
Now there are even more people!
The Imperial College students have an internship system, and the students in the martial arts hall also have such rules!

It's just that before that, those nobles went home after graduation, and not many actually went to the military camp to practice, but many of the students in the second period entered the Shenji camp for training.

Compared with those noble sons, these people are more motivated to work hard for a future!

As Geng Bingwen said, if they entered the army, how could they be an ordinary soldier!

It is enough to listen to a person who has experienced from the bottom and then become a master, but it is not true in many cases!
Most of the people are just trying to put a layer of gold to make their resume look better. Of course, they will definitely make some achievements in the process.

But fighting is not a child's play. I really want to treat the students in the martial arts hall as ordinary soldiers. The two armies actually let them fight desperately before the battle, without any care or preferential treatment.

Then you are really sick!
Although the ones who went there were not the sons of Duke Hou Ye, but even after those thousands of households, many people died, and they couldn't resist it if they pursued it!

So Geng Bingwen knew that they went to be "management"!At least he is also a low-level commander!

Your Highness is going to place the students from the lecture hall in various places in the army!

Guanzhong is just the beginning!
"Tell me, what should Dad do?"

Geng Rui replied: "Father, since Your Highness values ​​you so much and assigns you such a heavy responsibility, I think my father should ask His Highness for this..."

"But I'm afraid someone will poke my spine..." Geng Bingwen smiled wryly.

Now that a group of management has been brought in, some people will definitely move their positions, those with insufficient ability will be demoted, and some will be transferred to other places.

When the old and the new alternate, they will not be so kind.

But this time the number of people is relatively small, so it will not cause waves.

In just a few years, His Highness will be able to firmly control Daming's army in his own hands!

These students from the lecture hall will only follow His Highness's order!Don't talk about rebellion, I'm afraid they will be tied up in the barracks and handed over to the court for disposal!
Geng Bingwen had no choice but to write a letter to Zhu Yunxi according to what his son said, and the emperor's grandson agreed to the matter after careful consideration.

The news of Qin Wang's death was also spread everywhere through the court's residence newspaper.

Some people shed tears when they thought of the brotherhood, while others felt nothing, but they were all members of the royal family and sent people to express their condolences.

Among them, the one who cried the saddest was the king of Jin, Zhu Wei.

In the palace of Taiyuan, holding the palace newspaper in his hand, he shattered the vase with a bang, and immediately became furious.

Pointing at the nose of the chief minister of the palace, he cursed: "You bastard! Where did this gossip come from! How dare you show off in front of this king, do you really think that this king is a good friend..."

"Second brother is obviously in good health, and he led troops to suppress the rebellion a few days ago, why has he passed away now! How is this possible! How is it possible! You must be deceived by others and spread false news!
Come on, drag him out for me, hit him!Hit hard!How dare you curse the feudal lord, how courageous you are! "

"Your Highness, this is the palace report from the imperial court. There is absolutely no fake... If Your Highness does not believe it, there is still news sent by the imperial court. Please read it, Your Highness..."

King Qin is Zhu Yuanzhang's direct son, and he is their brother to other vassal kings, so they must be informed.

"I won't read it! This king won't read it! It's fake, it must be fake! Second brother... Second brother... Why are you gone, why are you gone..."

He knew it was true, but he didn't want to believe it!

Although King Jin is more cruel, he still has a lot of affection for his own brother, which may also be due to the similarities...

After all, neither of them is a good person!
"His Royal Highness Yan, just received the news that His Royal Highness Qin passed away..."

Far away in the study of King Yan's Mansion in Beiping, Yao Guangxiao told Zhu Di the news.

"Ugh……"

Zhu Di sat on the chair, sighed heavily, and said after a while: "Why did the second brother go there at such a young age...how did he die? Wasn't he fine before?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, according to the report from the imperial court, when King Qin returned from the conquest of the rebellion, wind and evil entered his body, causing illness, and later his illness worsened and he died..."

"This king must guard against the enemy, let Gao Chi go to Xi'an to mourn his second uncle."

Zhu Di felt a little powerless, and he was also a little sad. His elder brother died, and now his second brother is gone...

"Your Highness, King Qin is leaving, the only sons of His Majesty's royal family are you and King Jin..."

"..."

The king of Qin died. According to the etiquette system, he should stop court for three days, and rituals and music are forbidden in the palace.

So during these three days, no laughter was heard in the palace, nor was any celebration held.

These three days Zhu Yunxi has been by Zhu Yuanzhang's side, even if he can't do anything, it's good to talk to him.

He also told Zhu Yuanzhang the posthumous title of King Qin, and he said after hearing it, "You, this posthumous title suits him very well..."

Knowing the son is not like the father, Jin Yiwei and the officials of the royal family will report all the deeds Zhu Xi has done, and Zhu Yuanzhang knows all about it.

"Grandfather, please give me condolences..."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "You don't have to persuade us, we know what to do."

Zhu Yunxi said: "Grandfather, grandson sent Yang Jing, Minister of Criminal Affairs, and Qi Tai and Tie Xuan to Xi'an to attend the funeral and deal with the funeral of the second uncle... In addition, grandson is going to send Geng Bingwen to guard the northwest. how?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Since I have entrusted the government affairs to you, you can decide how to do it yourself, don't ask us..."

"Hey hey, Grandpa Huang, grandson is not sure and wants to seek your will. Although Geng Bingwen does not have the talent of a general, he is very down-to-earth and cautious. He is good at defending the city and taking steady and steady actions. tactics...

Sun'er thought that since he was in the northwest, there should be no chaos, and now the northwest region should focus on stability, and as for the battle, there is no rush for now..."

Zhu Yunxi talked for a while, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not interested, so he stopped talking.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little lonely, "Tomorrow, you can accompany us to Xiaoling, we miss your grandmother...
