Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 423: Teaching in a dream again?

Miserable victory?

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression changed and he said, "Tian De, is this really true?"

Xu Da immediately said: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty in the slightest. The role of this telescope in war is very huge."

"The old minister suggested that it must be kept strictly confidential and must not be spread outside the Ming Dynasty, otherwise our advantage will be gone."

Although they all expected it when they first got the telescope, it would play a huge role in the war.

But only in actual war can we truly experience it.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Tiande's matter is reasonable. It must be kept secret."

Even though Lao Zhu looked calm and composed on his face, he was still quite surprised in his heart.

Su Jing once again helped him a lot.

"Your Majesty, I am a straight person, not to mention the twists and turns. This time the Northern Expedition was a great victory, all of us have been rewarded, including Mr. Su."

Chang Yuchun was quite active in seeking credit for Su Jing.

After all, the relationship between Su Jing and him is the closest among all officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Chang Yuchun, and Xu Da immediately said: "Bo Ren, your Majesty knows it well, otherwise why did he call us two here specifically?"

"Tiande, am I not in a hurry?"

Chang Yuchun touched his head, looking honest and honest.

Although he is older than Xu Da, Xu Da is the leader and he is the auxiliary, whether in daily life or when marching and fighting.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Tiande, you don't need to speak for him. Boren is good at it. Now he is helping Su Jing to claim credit. In fact, it is just for his own little thoughts. Do you really think I can't see through it?"

Xu Da immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, but I think the same thing as Boren. The victory of this Northern Expedition is closely related to Mr. Su. If there are no rewards, I will feel a little uneasy."

Ok?
Hearing Xu Da's words, Lao Zhu's expression changed slightly, because in his impression, Xu Da was a very measured person.

Su Jing is very good, but the relationship with him is just that.

According to Xu Da's usual principles of life, he probably wouldn't say anything nice to Su Jing. After all, Chang Yuchun had already said it.

"Tiande, this is not like you."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't play any tricks with Xu Da, and asked directly: "Su Jing has merit, but is it too much to bother a general like you to claim credit?"

Xu Da bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I just feel that since Mr. Su is not willing to serve as an official in the court, it is appropriate to give him more rewards."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "You are a great general, but you have just come back, so you know a lot about the affairs in the capital."

The time when Su Jing was in the capital coincided with the Northern Expedition, and Xu Da was almost not in the capital.

But when he came back now, he actually knew about Su Jing's situation.

Xu Da immediately said: "Your Majesty, you also know that I have just returned to the capital, and she has been waiting for me outside the city. On the way into the palace, she talked to me about it."

Xu Da had nothing to hide. All the information he knew came from his daughter Xu Miaoyun.

"I see."

Lao Zhu nodded, he was still very impressed with Xu Miaoyun.

Firstly, this is Xu Da's daughter, who has the nickname of a girl. Secondly, when Su Jing was arrested and imprisoned, Xu Miaoyun once met him when he went to the prison.

"We know what's going on. You two should go back first. After the battle is won and the journey is tiring, it's time to go home and have a good rest and reunite with your family."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to the two of them.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Da immediately bowed and saluted. Chang Yuchun on the side seemed to have something to say, but before he could say anything, Xu Da stopped him.

The two quickly left the palace. Outside the palace gate, Chang Yuchun asked Xu Da: "Xu Da, what do you mean? Why don't you let me and His Majesty have a few more words?"

Xu Da looked at Chang Yuchun and said, "Bo Ren, do you still want to tell His Majesty that Mr. Su must be rewarded for his merits?"

Chang Yuchun nodded and said, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Xu Da said calmly: "If you really want His Majesty to discuss Mr. Su's merits, then you should talk less, do you understand?"

"Ok?"

Chang Yuchun frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this? Why don't I quite understand?"

Xu Da smiled and said: "Our Majesty knows it all in his heart, but His Majesty's own merit review for Mr. Su is of a different nature than what you asked for."

"This discussion of merit is a great thing. There is no need to make His Majesty feel unhappy. Just wait. Your Majesty will not forget Mr. Su. The fact that he specially called us here shows everything."

Hearing this, Chang Yuchun shook his head and said, "You guys really like to beat around the bush more and more. Forget it, I listen to you. Anyway, what you say is always right."

Xu Da patted Chang Yuchun on the shoulder and said, "Bo Ren, you just don't want to use your brain on these things. In fact, you can figure it out, but believe me, I'm always right."

Chang Yuchun is outspoken and has no scheming ideas.

But this does not mean that Chang Yuchun is a stupid person. He is known for his bravery, but in fact he is also very delicate.

It's just that with Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, he has the backbone and doesn't need to use his brain too much.

The two soon separated and went back to their homes.

The other generals who received awards were also very happy. Making achievements was the happiest thing for a general.

In the capital, the news of the great victory in the Northern Expedition spread quickly to everyone through word of mouth.

This kind of news has begun to spread since the Northern Expedition army came to Beijing to report on its duties.

In the Jinling Hotel branch, King Qin Zhu Ping was looking at the accounts and checking many documents in the back hall.

Before opening this restaurant, although Zhu Xi was a little nervous, he was also full of confidence.

But after actually operating it for a period of time, he realized that a small restaurant also has complicated affairs.

The daily management definitely does not require Zhu Pinglai to be responsible for it personally. The shopkeepers are all people selected for him by Su Jing. Because of Zhu Ping's status as King of Qin, it is naturally impossible for him to have any evil intentions.

They still clearly distinguish between money and life.

Not to mention, Zhu Ming was very generous with the money and could not commit any sneaky things.

But Zhu Feng is not like Su Jing, who only acts as a hands-off shopkeeper.

He wants to completely and completely control the operation of this hotel, so he has to read and check every link and every document and account.

However, the tediousness and difficulties made Zhu Xi complain endlessly.

He could only ask the shopkeepers for advice and learn more.

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Wu."

Zhu Ming said to the shopkeeper that he had finished checking the accounts in his hand.

Shopkeeper Wu immediately said: "Young people don't dare, these are what ordinary people should do."

He knew Zhu Xi's identity.

At first everyone was in panic, but now I feel a little better, but still very nervous.

King Qin asked a shopkeeper like himself for advice. If he told this, no one would believe it.

However, it was necessary to keep Zhu Ping's identity secret. He could not say anything to the outside world.

"Okay, you can go and do what you're busy with, I'll take a look around the store."

Zhu Fang gave instructions and left the back hall and went into the hall.

"Have you heard? The Duke of Wei has returned with a great victory. This time it is really exciting!" "I've heard about it a long time ago. Didn't you see our Ming army coming back on the street?"

"Wei Guogong is really amazing!"

"That's wrong. Your Majesty is very powerful. Before the Northern Expedition, Your Majesty had already formulated the battle strategy."

……

Zhu Xi was very satisfied when he listened to the conversations among the diners in the store.

Naturally, he had known about the news of the return of the Northern Expedition army for a long time, but he, the King of Qin, could not get involved in this matter for the time being.

In a place like a hotel, it is easy to hear all kinds of news, and now Zhu Xi has experienced it personally.

On the other side, here is Zhu Fan, who is still reading seriously. However, compared to the previous time when he just memorized the words when reading, now Zhu Fan is more able to appreciate the scenes conveyed by the words.

Especially in those historical records, things may seem ordinary, but for the common people, they have a huge impact.

Such as adding gifts, banning the sea...

In terms of writing, it is simple and direct, just a few lines of ink, but to the people, these words are probably more important than mountains.

In the past, he would never have felt like he does now.

If you have never experienced the life of the people at the bottom, how can you feel how much the increased expenses are.

"Sir, the student seems to understand somewhat."

Zhu Fan said silently in his heart, his eyes becoming more determined.

……

The next day.

Outside Fengxian Hall, Zhu Di has arrived.

Although it had been a day since he came back, he had no choice but to postpone his meeting with Zhu Yuanzhang because the Northern Expedition army was returning to the court.

"Your Highness King Yan, you can go in."

"Ah."

After the eunuch's message came, Zhu Di walked in.

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the memorial, but he didn't even look at it.

Because he was still thinking about a question, how to discuss merits with Su Jing.

Ren Yuanbo has been granted the title, and with this little credit, he will definitely not be awarded the title of Marquis.

And becoming an official is no longer within the scope of current considerations.

The only thing left seems to be material rewards.

"The land is good, but how much should I give?"

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself.

Lao Zhu also felt humiliated by giving him gold, silver and money. He was the emperor.

And Su Jing, as a successful businessman, is very rich.

As the most precious means of production under the feudal dynasty, land had a very high value.

In addition, this will be the time when the Ming Dynasty has just been established, and everything is waiting to be revitalized. The population has not yet increased after the war, and it is in a stage where there are few people in the land.

Lao Zhu has a lot of land that can be awarded directly.

However, normal land rewards are always accompanied by promotions.

If only Su Jing was given a land reward alone, there would be no precedent before.

It is not appropriate to give too little, and it is not appropriate to give too much.

"My son sees my father."

Zhu Di's voice sounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, looked at Zhu Di and said: "Fourth, you are here."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "My son is here."

Lao Zhu said: "How about it? I learned a lot from Su Jing these three days."

Although it is a cliched opening statement, it is still quite practical.

Zhu Di replied: "When I return to my father, Mr. Su taught me a lot. My son and I also learned a lot."

Then, Zhu Di truthfully reported to Zhu Yuanzhang what he learned from Su Jing.

This was not something Lao Zhu wanted to spy on, but something Su Jing taught. Lao Zhu was always uneasy.

Lao Zhu has always remembered the previous theory of the demise of the dynasty.

"Father, that's probably all."

After about an hour, Zhu Di briefly explained what he had learned.

He said it smoothly, because he didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang when he came back yesterday, so he sorted it out at home.

"Su Jing is quite self-aware. He really only knows how to talk about military matters on paper. If he really wants to learn, he might as well go to your Uncle Xu to learn."

Zhu Yuanzhang said matter-of-factly.

Lao Zhu has studied Su Jing's military level. The golden ratio is very strange, and the Yuanyang Formation is also quite powerful, but that's all.

Su Jing is really not very good at fighting.

Zhu Di lowered his head and said: "Father, I think Mr. Su's strategy lies more in the future war than in the present."

future!

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Fourth, you know what you are talking about, right? You have to explain Su Jing's strategy clearly to us in the future war."

Su Jing could predict the future, Lao Zhu knew it, and Lao Zhu told Queen Ma.

This is the person who knows for sure. Although others can guess a little, they cannot be sure.

Now, Zhu Di actually mentioned the future directly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very concerned about it.

Zhu Di immediately said: "I understand that when Mr. Su mentioned the train to me, I was already very confused, so I asked Mr. Su directly. Mr. Su told me that those things about the future war are all I learned it in my dreams.”

Another dream lesson!

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this answer, his expression softened: "Fourth, even if what Su Jing said is true, the military strategy you want to study now should also be about the current war. Learning from Su Jing about future wars is not Merit."

"You have to understand that you are the King of Yan and will be stationed in Peiping in the future. We have great expectations for you."

Zhu Di said with determination in his eyes: "Father, don't worry, I understand."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, quite satisfied: "By the way, Su Jing said that when you go to Peking in the future, you will absorb the Jurchens? You will also want them to be naturalized. What does this mean?"

Jurchen Lao Zhu didn't know much about it, but he had heard that they were just uncivilized tribesmen.

But Su Jing never said useless words, so Zhu Yuanzhang still kept it in mind.

Zhu Di replied: "Back to my father, I don't understand him very well. Mr. Su didn't talk too much to me, he just wanted me to remember it."

"That's all, just remember it. When you become a vassal, just follow this."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not ask too much. In fact, the Jurchens are too weak now and do not deserve too much attention at all.
