Daming: From the end of Hongwu

279 Chapter 277 - Li Jinglong's promotion and fortune

Time wears away a boy's ambition, and time destroys a girl's dream.

It seems that everyone, as they grow up, chooses and discards another possibility of life on the road of life, and in the end may live a completely different self from the original imagination.

The orange light of the setting sun gradually evolved into a crimson fire cloud in the sky.

Time is getting later and later.

Until the sky turned gray.

The behavior of the Yan army chasing and killing the southern army was finally over at this time. The Yan army retreated with high spirits, and countless southern soldiers thanked God excitedly.

among them.

No matter how many generals of the southern army thought about it, they couldn't understand why they were defeated so thoroughly in the first battle.

Some stubborn ones took advantage of the withdrawal of the Yan army, and seized the time to gather the defeated army, hoping to make a comeback tomorrow. While they were busy, Zhen Wu had already returned home.

Doctor Bai, who is the most traumatized in the family's medical shop, was invited home to help Zhen Wu deal with the trauma.

In this battle, Zhen Wu suffered six or seven injuries all over his body. The most serious one was that he was accidentally shot in the chest by an arrow. Insufficient, so the shot is not deep.

After being hit by an arrow, Zhen Wu took care of it briefly, but at that time it was only a hasty treatment, obviously unable to prevent the sequelae, so when he returned home, he needed to deal with it again.

Some scabbed places also need to be broken, and the high-grade alcohol that has been researched should be used to disinfect again, and then the medicine should be applied again.

The high alcohol is distilled from several improvements in brewing equipment over the years.

Barely is enough.

Ever since he became highly alcoholic, Zhen Wu gave it to many acquaintances, and chatted with them about the trauma and infection.

Many people have been influenced by Zhen Wu, and whenever possible, they will learn from Zhen Wu and carry out alcohol disinfection.

At this moment, after Doctor Bai sterilized Zhen Wu, he sprinkled the wound medicine and carefully wrapped the wound with white gauze. Zhu Yuying watched from the sidelines with distress.

In fact, the injury this time was not a big deal, but it seemed serious. After Doctor Bai finished taking care of him and left, Zhen Wu comforted Zhu Yuying with a smile: "Look, it's all right now."

Zhu Yuying hummed lightly, and seeing no one was around, she stepped forward and hugged Zhen Wu, her voice was muffled, suppressing the distress in her heart, and said: "I know my husband is a man who stands up to heaven and earth, so I won't be afraid of hurting him. , Yuying is not afraid."

Zhen Wu laughed when he heard this.

"Come on, let's see my son and see if he still remembers me as an old man." Zhen Wu laughed and pulled Zhu Yuying towards their courtyard.

"Husband won't be going to the barracks for a while?" Zhu Yuying asked curiously.

"I won't go. With Lao Meng and the others here, nothing will happen. Besides, I'm injured, so why not let me rest for a while." Zhen Wu replied casually.

Although the war has not yet ended completely, the southern army has already suffered a major defeat, and their morale has been completely lost. Even if some southern army generals still want to struggle, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Presumably, within three days, all the southern troops will inevitably flee to the south.

Therefore, in this case, there is no need for Zhen Wu to do everything himself, he always has to give others some opportunities to perform.

When Zhu Yuying heard what Zhen Wu said, she was overjoyed from the bottom of her heart, her eyes fell on Zhen Wu's body, and she clung to Zhen Wu sweetly.

When the two came to the bedroom, their son Sanyue was sleeping in the cradle.

I don't know if it's because Zhen Wu's movement is too loud, or because Zhen Wu has a bloody smell, just as Zhen Wu approached Sanyue, the little guy woke up dancing.

The little guy was quite courageous, he grinned when he saw Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu looked at his son, and couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was for a moment, but he only felt that this was how people were at the beginning.

He watched carefully and teased.

It's like the creator of the world is giving every adult compensation for the loss of the memory of the baby.

Zhen Wu was teasing and teasing, he couldn't help but picked up his son with his hands, accidentally pulled the wound, and blood dripped from the gauze.

After Zhu Yuying noticed it, she hurriedly wanted to take her son over, but Zhen Wu shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, I'll hug her more."

The little guy seemed to understand this sentence, and started dancing happily.

Seeing Zhen Wu and his son enjoying themselves, Zhu Yuying also showed a warm smile on his face.

After a while, Zhu Yuying suddenly asked, "When will the name of March be finalized?"

Ok?
Zhen Wu's face froze for a moment, and he smiled sarcastically and said, "Don't worry, I'm still thinking about it."

Seeing Zhen Wu's appearance, Zhu Yuying knew that Zhen Wu must have not thought of the right one. Speaking of this, Zhu Yuying also wondered, if her husband said he was uneducated, he knew many things that others didn't know, but If you are educated, you can't come up with a good name.

She was really afraid that Zhen Wu would give her son a messy name like 'Ten Elements'.

……

The next day, the Yan army attacked again, and launched a heavy blow against the southern army that was still resisting. At first, some generals planned to resist firmly, but after inquiring, they found that Li Jinglong had already fled to Zhuozhou.

It's a fart.

For a while, all the generals of the southern army, even those who had gathered enough defeated troops, no longer thought about fighting, and hurriedly led the defeated troops to flee to the south, while the Yan army chased them all the way for hundreds of miles.

This allowed the southern army to leave behind rations and numerous military tents, all of which were captured by the Yan army.

The military account is actually okay, but the military rations are good things.

Zhu Di, who was in short supply due to the acquisition of soldiers from the Daning army, suddenly became a rich man again. Zhu Di was so happy that he wanted to sleep with his army rations in his arms.

When this matter reached Zhen Wu's ears, Zhen Wu couldn't help sighing, whether it's fate or something, why is everything arranged so just right.

Anyway, this battle has established the fact that Zhu Di dominates Beiping. It is impossible for the court to say that Zhu Di will be destroyed, and it can be destroyed casually. initiative, and the possibility of strategic arrangements.

After the Southern Army was defeated and fled, it was mighty from Beiping to Shandong, and the defeated army was scattered everywhere, some in groups of three or five, and some in dozens or hundreds. Many innocent people lost their lives.

These tragedies, in this war-torn era, after all, it is not known who will be blamed.

A few days later, Li Jinglong fled to Dezhou City, Shandong Province, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived here. The officials in Dezhou City prepared delicacies for Li Jinglong, and at night they sent beautiful maidservants to serve him.

Li Jinglong didn't refuse either, he seemed to vent all his negative emotions on the maidservant at night, when the maidservant fell asleep, he put on his clothes and came to the window, looking at the dark night outside, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

He just wanted a small defeat, but he didn't expect it to turn into such a big defeat. As a general, he knew that he was to blame.

It was he who underestimated Yan Jun.

The scene of Zhen Wu biting him tightly appeared in Li Jinglong's eyes again, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He thought that there would be no such thing as spring in the world, but he didn't expect such a number one person to appear again today.

The future development is really unpredictable.

But it has nothing to do with him.

After such a big defeat, even if he still wanted to stay in the army as a general, it would be impossible. This is good, and his wish to return to the capital is satisfied. After all, such a big defeat is not a big deal No benefit either.

It is a good thing to stay out of it from now on.

After all, after all this battle was calculated, in the end, it was the uncle and nephew of the Zhu family who were fighting for the family property. What did it have to do with him as an outsider?

Late at night, the cold air seemed to have reached Texas, and snowflakes fell bustlingly in the mid-air of Texas City.

……

Capital.

Zhu Yunqi had been paying attention to the battle in Beiping City. He originally thought that after Li Jinglong arrived in Beiping City, he would take Beiping City cleanly and swiftly within a few days, and then quickly quell the chaos caused by Zhu Di.

He has confidence in Li Jinglong, and he is looking forward to that day, and he can't even forget it.

But after he heard a couple of rumors in the past few days, he couldn't help but feel worried.

On this day, Zhu Yunqi couldn't bear it anymore, and after dealing with trivial matters, someone sent Huang Zicheng to enter the palace, wanting to ask Huang Zicheng.

When the attendant found Huang Zicheng, Huang Zicheng's instinctive heart skipped a beat. He had deliberately avoided Zhu Yunqi for the past few days, so how could he not know why Zhu Yunqi was looking for him.

He couldn't help closing his eyes and sighing, what should come finally came.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, he received the military report and news of Li Jinglong's defeat. He was angry and scolded Li Jinglong, but after scolding, his neck felt a little cold.

Therefore, Huang Zicheng went to find Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and others overnight to discuss.

These people have been attacked by many people in the court as courtiers. Now that they are advocating a crusade, they are defeated again. They don't know how those people will ridicule them. What's more important is that they know that Zhu Yunqi is very important to defeat Zhu Di. How deep is their obsession, if they let the facts of the defeat spread, they will definitely be reprimanded by Zhu Yunxuan, so after discussing with several people, they decided to conceal the military situation.

This is what Huang Zicheng is busy with these days.

Hard work pays off.

Huang Zicheng has been so busy, not to mention that the clothes are perfect, and indeed no one has raised them openly, but now it is obvious that Zhu Yunqi has heard some rumors. Huang Zicheng followed his relatives into the palace, and at the same time, he kept thinking about what to do after seeing Zhu Yunqi. Say.

Soon.

Huang Zicheng stood in front of Zhu Yunqi, and after Huang Zicheng discussed several other affairs of state with Zhu Yunqi calmly, Huang Zicheng asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"

Zhu Yunxuan nodded, and asked what he was most concerned about: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Huang, recently I heard that the war in Beiping seems to be unfavorable, which made me feel very worried. You know the war best, so tell me what happened. what does it look like."

Huang Zicheng smiled calmly, and did not completely veto the rumors that Zhu Yunqi had heard, and said lightly: "It is indeed a little disadvantageous, but your majesty need not worry, and it is not what your majesty thinks."

He paused, and then explained in detail: "I learned that after Cao Guogong arrived in Beiping, he fought several times and won repeatedly, but now it is November, Beiping is in the north again, and the weather is freezing. They are not as cold-resistant as the Yan army, and suffered a lot from it, so for the sake of his soldiers, Cao Guogong also worried that it would be unfavorable to fight in such weather, so he temporarily retreated to Dezhou, hoping to achieve greater results in the next spring."

Zhu Yunwen has been worried about this matter for a long time, now he was relieved after hearing Huang Zicheng's explanation. This worry."

A look of confusion suddenly appeared on Huang Zicheng's face.

Zhu Yunqi asked curiously: "Could it be that there is something inside?"

Huang Zicheng seemed to grit his teeth, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch. In fact, Cao Guogong was worried about His Majesty's scolding. He withdrew his troops and temporarily retreated to Dezhou without His Majesty's permission. The temperature dropped, and several soldiers froze to death. Cao Guogong had no time to ask for instructions, so he could only withdraw his troops temporarily. For this reason, Cao Guogong was always worried and wrote to his ministers, begging them to intercede on his behalf. His Majesty personally."

Zhu Yunwen smiled, and scolded: "Duke Cao underestimated my size, how can I be such a stingy person, even if I have never joined the army, I know the reason why the general will not accept the order of the emperor."

"Your Majesty is wise." Huang Zicheng praised him.

Zhu Yunqi was very useful. After thinking for a while, his eyes must be fixed: "My general, there is no need to be so cautious. In this way, pass on the decree and give Cao Guogong an axe, so that he can conquer on his own. He doesn't have to ask for instructions on everything. In addition, the army is out. For matters, the general has the right to specialize himself."

Huang Zicheng almost thought he didn't hear clearly, but when he saw Zhu Yunqi's serious expression, he fell silent.

This…

Huang Zicheng didn't even know what to say.

Zhu Yunqi was very satisfied, proud of the size of his situation, and waved Huang Zicheng back.

Huang Zicheng knew that he couldn't demolish Li Jinglong, so he had no choice but to retreat. When he returned home, he wrote a letter in person, writing about today's events, and asked his cronies to send it to Li Jinglong in Dezhou as soon as possible. Concealing his demise, not to play the court, and at the same time advised Li Jinglong, he asked for an axe for Li Jinglong, the right to specialize, let Li Jinglong do it for himself, and don't live up to the trust of the court.

His cronies rushed all the way to Dezhou City and handed the letter to Li Jinglong himself.

After Li Jinglong finished reading, his whole body trembled immediately.

I couldn't bear it at that time.

"Fucking Huang... It's useless to panic, I won't let you go without saying anything, you must stay for dinner today." Li Jinglong cursed halfway, only to find that Huang Zicheng's cronies were still there, and quickly changed his words.

But his heart was bleeding.

He wanted to go back to the capital, why did he have to lead an army to fight King Yan in the end.

If you lose a battle, you won't be punished, but the power is getting heavier and heavier.

There is no end to this.

Li Jinglong roared in his heart.

But things really aren't over yet.

It's not over!

At the end of November, King Yan wrote to the imperial court to take care of himself, and once again mentioned that Zhu Yunqi should be killed, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others, and spread it to the world, making Zhu Yunqi so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

Zhu Yunwen thought to himself, isn't it just that the army temporarily retreats to Texas while the weather is cold, and see if you can get Zhu Di.

On the second day, with bloodshot eyes, Zhu Yunwen, as if angry with Zhu Di, viciously ordered Li Jinglong to be crowned prince and grand teacher in front of all the courtiers, and then bestowed Li Jinglong with a seal book and a thousand taels of gold.

Didn't Zhu Di ask him to kill Huang Zicheng and others? !
He doesn't.

Instead, Li Jinglong, who conquered Zhu Di, was also named.

Zhu Yunqi was like a child, using his power to gamble with King Yan.

But this matter completely confused Li Jinglong.

He looked in the direction of the capital and was about to cry.

The prince and grand master whom so many people look down on, why did he get it in a daze after losing a battle.

What the hell is going on in this fucking world?
