Chapter 44 The Origin of the Long Sword (for collection)

"What did Biao'er take?"

Lao Zhu looked at Erhu who had come back and asked casually.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness only took away one sword box." Erhu dared not conceal what Zhu Biao took away and reported it truthfully.

"Huh? The sword box in the inner vault?" Lao Zhu thought for a while, but he really couldn't remember that there was a sword box in his inner vault.

"The bottom of the sundries shelf in the inner library has a sword box, a purple sword body, a lotus-shaped hand guard, and a long sword with gold decorations." Seeing that Lao Zhu couldn't remember, Erhu hurriedly added the long sword in the sword box. The specific appearance of the sword.

"Purple long sword with golden embellishments" Lao Zhu heard Erhu say, as if a lightning flashed in his mind.

"Okay, you go down!" Old Zhu let Erhu retreat after remembering what it was.

The next day, after the court was over, Lao Zhu took Zhu Biao to approve the memorials in the Wenhua Palace. He picked out some ordinary memorials and let Zhu Biao try to analyze them to see if they could approve them. The father and son each approved the memorials. Only Zhu Biao met When he was undecided, he would ask Lao Zhu. One was willing to learn and the other was willing to teach. The atmosphere was very good.

Not long after, Lao Zhu finished processing the memorial in his hands, and Zhu Biao had been waiting for a long time. Now because of the existence of Zhongshu Sheng, Lao Zhu's workload is not heavy, and the Zhongshu Sheng can decide small things, and only major matters are involved. It will be sent to Lao Zhu.

"Biao'er, do you know the origin of the sword you took away yesterday?" Seeing that it was still early in the morning, Lao Zhu was going to tell Zhu Biao about the origin of the sword.

"My father and son don't know, but my son likes it very much. When I saw this sword, I felt that it should belong to my son. I don't know if my father could tell me about the origin of this sword?" The sword is old Zhu In the inner vault, and judging by the dust in it, I'm afraid it has been in the inner vault for a long time, Zhu Biao complained in his heart where he knew where to go.

"Okay, let me tell you about the origin of this sword." Old Zhu's eyes were full of memories.

"Father, how many soldiers and horses do you want to give us?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked excitedly.

"Well, five hundred, you can take all of Bingziying away!" Guo Zixing said solemnly, as if 500 people was already a lot.

"Father Commander, Father Commander, the Bingzi Battalion is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people. When we go out and meet Yuan troops, we can't handle it!" Disabled, how to fight with the Yuan army.

"It's not the old, the weak, the sick, but the old battalion. These brothers are well-informed. They have survived the battle with the Yuan army. They are experienced and adaptable. They are all heroes. It's the help you need."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's comments, Guo Zixing immediately added: "In addition, I will allocate more food and grass for you, so that you don't need to worry about supply within half a year."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Guo Zixing, he was determined not to give him the 3000 troops he had agreed to. As for the situation in Bingziying, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood.
All of them are soldiers. It is better not to take these people out of the city to open up new territories.

"Marshal Father, we don't want these three thousand soldiers! We don't want Bingziying either!" Zhu Yuanzhang said through gritted teeth.

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Guo Zixing looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang with a serious face, wondering what kind of medicine Zhu Yuanzhang was selling in his gourd.

Time passed slowly as the two looked at each other.

"Then what do you want?" Guo Zixing asked in a neutral tone. As for Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as he doesn't want soldiers and horses, he can talk about everything else. The soldiers and horses are the foundation of Marshal Guo, who stands tall in Haozhou City.

"We only need eighteen horses and eighteen brothers, so we can move freely and without any scruples." Zhu Yuanzhang understood that since Guo Zixing didn't plan to give himself enough soldiers and horses, he would take away the brothers who were good at fighting, otherwise The matter of leaving Haozhou City this time may be in jeopardy, and even if he leaves Haozhou City, there is no place for him to stand outside the city.

"Hahahahaha, Yuanzhang, you are talking angry." Guo Zixing was happy, but anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang had just saved his life from Sun Deya, and he sent Zhu Yuanzhang out to open up a new territory. If he only gave him a dozen Personally, I am afraid that my reputation will be over.

"No, no, Commander-in-Chief, I didn't say anything angry." Zhu Yuanzhang took out a piece of white paper from his arms, with some traces of pen and ink on it.

"I've written it all, please look over it!" Zhu Yuanzhang handed the blank paper to Guo Zixing directly.

"Tang He, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu, Lu Zhongheng." Guo Zixing chanted names one by one until he had read all eighteen names.

"Hehe, most of these are your sworn brothers, right? All of them are brave and good at fighting." Guo Zixing deliberately enlarged the weight of these people. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask for a large number of people, he would be willing to give them thirty or fifty, and even more so. Needless to say, only eighteen.

You must know that he promised Zhu Yuanzhang three thousand soldiers before. No matter how powerful these eighteen people are, it is impossible for them to be worth three thousand soldiers. You have to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to beg him.

"Father Commander, we don't want anything else, just these eighteen brothers, I implore Father Commander for permission!" Seeing that Guo Zixing had the idea of ​​disagreeing, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately begged.

"Huh~" Guo Zixing pretended to take a few deep breaths, staring at Zhu Yuanzhang, trying to see what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. Less than 20 people.

"Okay, I'll give you this kind of ambition and this vision." Guo Zixing showed a look of reluctance on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept calm on the face, but he was even more excited in his heart. These 18 were the bravest 3000 brothers he selected from the brothers around him in the army. The promise of [-] people in exchange for these eighteen brothers.

"Thank you handsome father!"

"The next day we left Haozhou City with [-] brothers, swung our horses and whipped our whips, and headed towards the city that had already been explored. Although it was a small city, there were dozens of Yuan soldiers stationed there. Fight hard, and finally defeat the garrison Yuan army, and we will get our first piece of land."

Lao Zhu sighed unceasingly, thinking about the hardships of starting a business back then, it was indeed heartbreaking.

Zhu Biao listened to Lao Zhu's story that he left Haozhou City and took away eighteen brothers, and then looked at the dozen or so people now, which one was not in a high position and commanded an army of tens of thousands.

Zhu Biao couldn't help admiring Lao Zhu's vision, and also thankful that the nominal "grandfather" had eyes but didn't know gold and jade, so he gave [-] miscellaneous soldiers less, but gave [-] generals, this fucking peerless Good man!

"After entering the city, we occupied this small city. Naturally, all the food, materials, funds and silver seized by the Yuan army belonged to us. Biaoer, you don't know that the people in that city are similar to the people in Yangzhou now. What they didn’t eat, what they wanted to wear and what they didn’t wear, were all seized by the Yuan army and taken to the county government.”
