Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 92

For the first time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly canceled the morning court for that day.

The courtiers gathered in the Meridian Gate did not disperse immediately, but under the arrangement of the attendants, they came to the Longjiang Shipyard outside the Sanshan Gate in one carriage after another.

This place was just visited by Zhu Yuanzhang and his son half a month ago. Today, dozens of boats are slowly sailing into the Sancha River under the control of naval officers and soldiers.

And Liao Wenzhong, who had already come to wait silently in the family's reluctance.

The generals in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion also stopped their drills, and the early civil servants came here one step at a time, saying goodbye to Liao Yongzhong with envy.

"Marquis Deqing, if you capture Dongying this time, I'm afraid you will be the first among your brothers to become a duke."

Who doesn't envy the achievement of destroying the country.

This time entering the palace, although Wu Zhen, the Marquis of Zhenhai, contributed to the profit, but the main battle was still on land, and Zhou Dexing and other brainless people were eager to show off after getting some credit, but now they taught Liao Yongzhong to pick up a ready-made bargain. .

Facing the congratulations of many princes, Liao Yongzhong's smile was somewhat stiff and bitter.

Among the group of people in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Zhu Ji was the last one to come to say goodbye.

As usual, with a peaceful smile, he helped Liao Yongzhong who was kneeling on the ground, and Zhu Ji understood the gratitude and reluctance in the eyes of this fifty-year-old Hou Ye.

"Your Highness, the last general..."

After murmuring for a while, Liao Yongzhong still didn't have the courage to speak out his inner prayer at this moment.

How could Zhu Ji not understand his thoughts, he tidied up the crooked armor for the old general, and then turned his head to look at the crowd separated by soldiers not far away:
"Although Yongzhen Dongying, it's not impossible to come back. From now on, I have to come back to report at the end of each year. With so many gold and silver mountains under your control, neither I nor His Majesty the Emperor will be so relieved."

"When the Armed Forces School opens, you will have to wait for the heirs of these dukes to enroll. After a while, the Marquis of Zhongshan will also serve in the Governor's Mansion, and I will let him visit the mansion more often."

Hearing that Zhu Ji could come back once a year, Liao Yongzhong's face suddenly looked better.He also heard that Tang He would come back, and now he no longer has any worries.

Just as he was about to bow down to Zhu Ji again, Zhu Ji grabbed his arms tightly.

"You don't want to hold grudges against the emperor because of this, although this incident happened because of him, but the emperor's mind is unfathomable after all, just in case, you'd better keep a low profile as much as possible.

If it is possible, I hope that it would be better for you to be a rich man in Dongpu, and save the old man from being suspicious all day long, and I wasted a lot of words for nothing. "

Thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intent rising that day, Zhu Ji knew whether this matter could be finished or not, mainly depended on Liao Yongzhong himself.

Obviously Liao Yongzhong is not a stupid person, of course he understands what Zhu Ji means.However, Liao Yongzhong was somewhat reluctant to go to destroy Dongpu this time, and really have to give away such a huge contribution for nothing.

"The battle of Dongpu started from the Japanese pirates. After arriving there, the Japanese pirates must be wiped out in the bud."

Zhu Ji's voice fell into Liao Yongzhong's ears like thunder, even though this old Hou Ye had been through the battlefield for a long time, he was still frightened by the smiling and talking Zhu Ji in front of him.

His eyes widened for a moment, but Liao Yongzhong still bowed his head and bowed his hands to Zhu Ji, promising: "Don't you dare to drive away from Your Highness."

Talking to a smart person is easy, Zhu Ji grinned, and helped Liao Yongzhong up again, this time the smile on Zhu Ji's face was no longer as casual as before:
"Be sure to take care and live well, otherwise you, Liao Yongzhong, will really waste my time."

Liao Yongzhong may not be able to understand why Zhu Ji said that at this moment, until half an hour later, when Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a military uniform and turned his back to the officials, he pulled him far away and had a heart-to-heart conversation. What did His Royal Highness do for him?

"Liao Yongzhong, for you, our eldest son has run us hard. When we arrive in Dongying, don't let him live up to his painstaking efforts, and kindly look after the silver mountain for us."

"As for the matter of the Dragon and Phoenix Emperor, from now on we will just treat him as if there is no such person. Don't rely on credit, and we don't care about infamy."

Until Zhou Dexing was replaced with the edict, Liao Yongzhong could still feel the slaps Zhu Yuanzhang slapped behind him, which meant to clear up the suspicion.

Zhou Dexing, who was replaced by him, naturally became Zhu Yuanzhang's outlet for his emotions.

No one knew what Jiang Xiahou experienced in the palace when he was escorted back to Beijing, but after returning from the palace, Zhou Dexing had his guards beat him with a hundred army sticks, and then he was bedridden with the door closed.

And after all this was over, the entire Ming Dynasty became lively again because of a piece of official document from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"Orders to all commanders, guards, and military officers. I heard that Confucianism and Dharma have lasted for thousands of years, and that military equipment has declined over three generations. If you look at the root cause, there is no one who has abolished military equipment for peace in the world. Therefore, there is Taixue in the text. , Wu should also have it.

Today, the Armed Forces Academy is set up in the middle of the capital, where Erdeng is a lieutenant colonel and lieutenant colonel with excellent conduct. He will be taught the Six Secret Teachings and learn the Three Strategies. After learning something, he will be released to a distant place for use according to his talents.

The electors don't care about their backgrounds or their family background, but they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and have the ambition to fight the enemy bravely.The generals and commanders must not bury talents for personal reasons..."

In the northern border town, Xu Da couldn't help but smile knowingly when he looked at the official document stamped with the seals of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Emperor.

Such an unusual practice was obviously done by the prospective son-in-law.

Originally, I regretted not being able to take Zhu Ji to the various guards of the capital, but unexpectedly I had only been away from the capital for two or three months, and Zhu Ji was making a lot of troubles in his capacity as Sima of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Just listen to the excited shouts of the low-level officers and soldiers outside the big tent to know the influence of this military equipment school.

There are only one or two quotas assigned to each guard. After being transferred, it will not affect the overall combat effectiveness of the guard. In the future, this method can more closely extend the tentacles of imperial power to every corner of the Ming army.

I heard that in the near future, the guards will recruit literati to teach soldiers how to read.

Putting the official document on the table, Xu Da laughed heartily.

At the beginning, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement and tied himself tightly to his son-in-law, and he did not disappoint himself.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Armed Forces Academy, and other changes will soon appear here.And all of this was led by his son-in-law.It is conceivable, with the emperor's intentional support, who will the future power of the Ming army fall on.

Thinking of this, Xu Da excitedly walked out of the commander's tent, looked at the joyous soldiers, and once again filled his fire with this official document:

"Let me tell you that from today onwards, all households below one hundred will be included in the examination. We will personally write to the Governor's Mansion to ask Beidi to go to a few more."
