Daming heir

"The heir is a big deal."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the altars on the Ancestral Temple's confession table with a solemn expression.

He knew very well that he would become one of these gods in the near future.

As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang knew better what would be written on his throne.

Emperor Taizu.

This is an honorary title unique to the founding king.

After Taizu came Taizong.

Then Gaozong.

Zhu Yuanzhang very much hoped that the Ming Dynasty could be passed down so smoothly.

He looked at the fat grandson standing in front of him, smiled and said: "You brothers are all close, and the clan guards outside are the walls of this home. The tiles on the walls are all numerous, and they cannot be missing. .”

Zhu Gaochi just wanted to escape from the Ancestral Temple as soon as possible.

Does the old man want to give birth to as many children as a roof tile?
Does the old man think of himself as a Wagong?

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head, but curled his lips silently.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that he was teasing his fat grandson like this, but the other party didn't move at all.

He said directly: "You have to learn from this kid."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's finger was already pointing at Zhu Yunxi, who now seemed to have become a role model for the Ming Dynasty clan to flourish.

"Grandpa, I don't expect you to be invincible, even in high school. But you have to get one, right?"

Zhu Gaochi's scalp felt numb: "Grandpa..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared, and then his eyes became a little uneasy.

He stared closely at his fat grandson, recalling the boy's past size, and felt a trace of worry in his heart for no reason.

Even the tone of Zhu Yuanzhang's next words softened a little: "How about... Grandpa asks Shui to come and take a look in three years? Prescribe some medicine and supplement it?"

It was really not good for him to question whether there was something wrong with his fertility in front of his grandson.

Zhu Gaochi didn't understand anything at this time.

He raised his head, his face full of sadness.

I have been as busy as a dog in the past two years, running east when I need something, and running west when something is wrong.Even if you have the intention, you will be powerless.

But when the words came to his lips, Zhu Gaochi stopped, and when he opened his mouth, there was no sound.

The old man now only wants the old Zhu family to multiply and grow, so he will not listen to his explanation.

The more he explained, the more the old man felt that something was wrong with him.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment, then nodded along with the old man's wishes: "My grandson will go to the Taiyuan Hospital today and ask the water hospital envoy to prescribe some prescriptions."

Seeing that his fat grandson finally had his way, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately smiled on his face.

He looked at the two of them and said in turn: "Speaking of which, there are quite a few female relatives in the capital. However, those of you who are younger will have more interactions with your sisters-in-law."

Zhu Gaochi frowned.

Now, whenever my daughter-in-law hears that Concubine Taisun is leaving the palace and returning to Taisun's Mansion, she will inevitably rush over with people in a hurry, and then those women will happily play mahjong all day long.

This correspondence is also frequent and cordial.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered: "It seems that the people in Europe are also aware of my customs in the Ming Dynasty. Now that autumn has come, more barbarian merchants are coming, probably to make a fortune before the Spring Festival in Central China.

Recently, Yingtian City has become more and more lively, with many new sights.The grandson feels that it is time for all the female relatives in the family to go out and move around.

Taisun's Mansion can be proposed first in the clan. Chi Ge'er's family, Qiuniang, who is temporarily living in the palace, and several younger generations will start it together. When the time comes, they will invite the aunts and aunts who come in again. The sisters went out to play. "

When he heard the word Qiuniang, Zhu Gaochi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he realized that the old man was clicking on this spot.

He couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yunxi.

Ever since Qiuniang had a tire slip for some reason last year, the person in the East Palace seemed to have become a different person.

First, he chased them all the way, then asked himself to garrison the Great Wall, and then joined the Northern Expedition Army.

Nowadays, it is because of a place that I don't know whether it exists or not that I lead people into the vast snow forest.

The return date is unknown.

Zhu Yuanzhang talked about Lao Zhu's family affairs a few times, and he felt a little more relaxed.

But he couldn't help but think that if the eldest sister was still there, he wouldn't have to do these things himself.The eldest sister can always handle the messy things at home, and the whole family stays in harmony.

As he thought about it, longing came to his mind, and Zhu Yuanzhang no longer thought about mentioning his children and grandchildren.

"Sheng'er and the girl are about to wake up. I'm going back to take care of them. You two brothers can just go and do whatever you need to do."

After saying a few words, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi and walked out of the Ancestral Temple with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other.

The two of them looked at Zhong Shan not far away.

……

Across the distant ice-covered strait, head south along the coastline.

Zhu Yunwen was also looking at a mountain.

This is an endless mountain.

The mountains with only low shrubs and exposed rocks are naturally different from the famous mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.

The salty sea breeze blowing from the sea carries a different kind of atmosphere.

This is a completely different realm from the Central Plains.

Going south from the frozen northern continent, Zhu Yunwen was finally able to confirm that there were ancient Yin Shang remnants living on the continent at his feet.

Those original legends and stories about the migration of the Yin Shang remnants should all be true.

Zhu Yunwen looked back at the team behind him.

This team started from the Ming Dynasty and experienced the nationwide battle, then went all the way north, crossed the frozen strait, and then went all the way south.

Now it has completely changed.

There were less than 700 people left in the entire team.

Compared with the thousands of people who set off, more than 300 people were lost along the way.

Some were injured and died, and some were too injured to return or carry them further south, so they could only leave enough manpower to set up camps on the spot and wait for subsequent reinforcements from the court to arrive, or for the large troops in front to return.

The remaining 600 or so people were all in ragged clothes.

All the clothes on his body were worn all the way.

But they still carry their packages with them all the time, and there are new clothes inside.

It’s just that no one is wearing it.

Because everyone knows that when this new land appears in front of you, it proves that there must be people on this land.

As a soldier of the most powerful empire in the world.

When they find those indigenous people, they must appear in front of them as citizens of the most civilized country in the world.

Gorgeous clothes are one of the options that represent civilization.

"We're pretty far out of the cold, and if there is anyone, we should be encountering them soon."

Sun Cheng, who was now full of beard, spoke beside Zhu Yunwen with his face full of vicissitudes of life.

Zhu Yunwen waved to the team behind him, signaling the officers and soldiers to start setting up camp and rest on the spot.

After doing this, he looked at Sun Cheng: "According to the solar terms of the Central Plains, autumn is about to begin."

Sun Cheng nodded. They had been walking for several months, from the 29th year of Hongwu to the 30th year of Hongwu.Along the way, they would climb mountains and swim in water, and they would hunt on the spot if their food rations were insufficient.

It was also along the way that they understood that this was a primitive land.

There are too many animals and plants, and there are too few traces of human development. It can even be said that no trace that can truly indicate human activity has been found.

"It's relatively warm. We should stay away from the sea and walk inland. Find a few rivers and walk up the coast. Maybe we can find the indigenous people here soon."

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and felt that this was a method he could try.

After all, continuing along the coast, their search range was too narrow.

And if there are people, according to the historical development of the Central Plains, they will only choose to start the development of civilization where there is a big river, rather than on the seaside.

Because big rivers represent fertile land, abundant water sources, and rich species.

"You can find a suitable place nearby as a temporary camp. Separate a small group of people and continue southward, returning regularly to check the situation. The remaining people set off inland and disperse when they encounter a river to expand the search area."

Zhu Yunwen said slowly and carefully.

Along the way, he has matured even more.

In this strange place, Zhu Yunwen's first priority is safety.

Sun Cheng nodded in agreement: "Those who go south can extend the time starting from half a month's return. Those of us who go inland can advance inland along the river within a five-day journey, so that if there is any danger, we can deal with it calmly. "

Zhu Yun hummed, and the two of them seemed to have made a plan for the future.

And he turned around silently and looked towards the sea and the sea further west.

"That side should be in the direction of the Central Plains."

Zhu Yunwen spoke softly, without much fluctuation in his tone, as if he was just trying to verify a fact.

Sun Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said: "We went all the way north, crossed the strait, and then turned all the way south. Logically speaking, this direction is the Central Plains."

"so far……"

Zhu Yunwen muttered in a low voice, and then said with some worry: "I don't know if the people sent back to deliver the message have reached Yingtian. I don't know when the imperial court will send more people if they know about it."

The long distance blocked their connection with the Central Plains.

If it weren't for the hope of becoming a hero and the huge temptation of being recorded in history, many people in this team would have given up long ago.

Zhu Yunwen turned his head and looked at Sun Cheng, who was standing side by side with him and looking at the sea.

"Grandson."

"what happened?"

"You said... how will they come? Will they come on our Ming Dynasty's largest warship, or will they come along the path we took?"

"I think they'll come together."

Zhu Yunwen once again looked at the sparkling sea with countless waves and laughed out loud.

"Our journey has not been in vain."

……

Within a month.

On the endless plain, the winding river passed in front of Zhu Yunwen.

Herds of bison just strolled happily on the grassland.

Birds flew densely across the sky.

A few wisps of smoke rose behind the hillside at the end of the distance.

There were waves of low and subtle sounds in the air.

Like bagpipes, ancient and vicissitudes of life.

"Someone!"

Sun Cheng squatted on the ground and turned to look at Zhu Yunwen, who was also squatting next to him.

His eyes revealed excitement and an indescribable emotion.

Zhu Yunwen's hands tightly grasped the ground under his feet, and the dense weeds were tightly grasped in his hands.

His face was already flushed with excitement.

Like Sun Cheng, Zhu Yunwen's face was filled with excitement.

"Wash your face."

"bath."

"Change clothes."

"It's all quick and easy!"

A low but urgent voice came from Zhu Yunwen's mouth.

The officers and soldiers who followed them from the camps established on the seaside and marched into the interior of the new land immediately took action after hearing the news.

Zhu Yunwen slapped his hands heavily on the ground twice.

He and Sun Cheng's plan was correct, and the strategy came true as expected.

Humans do exist on this land.

The officers and soldiers quickly rushed into the nearby river.

The clear river water changed color in the blink of an eye and became turbid.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng took off their clothes and walked into the flowing river.

Two Ming army standard daggers were held in their hands.

Every time the blade of the knife slid, large swaths of beard fell into the river and were carried away.

As the people and soldiers of the most powerful country in the world, they did not allow Ming to appear in embarrassment for the first time in front of these natives.

The words recorded in the history books must also describe that they came to these native people in the form of King Master.

It wasn't until the originally sparse cooking smoke in the distance became denser that Zhu Yunwen and others cleaned themselves up.

Neat and uniform attire, at first glance, they look majestic and inviolable.

All the dirt accumulated on the face due to wind and sun was scraped away with the back of the knife. Because of too much force, the eyes still looked a little red.

"This is the first time our Ming Dynasty has appeared in front of the indigenous people of this land. Master Wang is majestic and benevolent."

"What we do now is determined by the attitude and methods the court will use to govern this land in the future."

"Whether it is war or the will of the people, it all depends on us today."

Zhu Yunwen turned his back to the continuous smoke, facing the 'new faces', and said with a serious expression.

Sun Cheng added on the side: "If the opponent is hostile and takes the lead in attacking, you should remember the drills in the army. Defend first, then form formations, end the battle as quickly as possible, and clear the battlefield."

Kindness is toward goodness.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng hope to maintain the Ming Dynasty's royal kindness in this new land, but if these natives are unwilling to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

Then war, an ancient skill that the Central Plains people have studied for thousands of years, will be displayed in this new land.

The officers and soldiers immediately looked at each other with concentration.

Zhu Yunwen saw that the mentality of the officers and soldiers had adjusted, so he smiled and waved his hands gently towards the place where the smoke was curling up.

"set off!"
