My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 416 Zhu Zhanhe Takes Over

"Meet the prince!"

When Wu Guang from a hundred households saw Zhu Zhanhe outside the barracks, he almost ran forward to salute at a trot, and tears almost flowed out when he spoke.

No wonder he was so excited. After all, Zhu Zhanji was arrested. He is a small family and he really can't bear the responsibility. What happened, the prince is also responsible for it.

"Where is the eldest brother, did something happen to him?"

At this time, Zhu Zhanhe asked with a serious expression.

Zhu Zhanhe set off two days later than Zhu Zhanji, but he took the same road, and he was also inquiring about the Buddha's mother on the way, and collected the situation in various places in Shandong by the way, so that he could report to Zhu Di in Beijing in the future.

In the process of collecting intelligence, Dongchang inevitably dealt with Jin Yiwei, and after Zhu Zhanji was kidnapped, Jin Yiwei, who was supposed to be on the way forward, also quickly discovered the abnormality, so he sent people back to search, but found that the other party was missing up.

Under such circumstances, Jin Yiwei was also in a mess. You must know that Jin Yiwei obeyed Zhu Zhanhe's orders at the beginning, and many people were his confidantes. Therefore, after Zhu Zhanji disappeared, Jin Yiwei soon asked Zhu Zhanhe reported the news.

Knowing that Zhu Zhanji was missing, Zhu Zhanhe was also taken aback. Although the two had a conflict, it was an internal conflict after all, and if something happened to Zhu Zhanji, it would definitely cause a major earthquake in Ming Dynasty. This is Zhu Zhanhe I don't want to see it anyway.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe immediately ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to unite again to investigate Zhu Zhanji's whereabouts.

With the joint efforts of the factory guards, the change of the Qingzhou garrison was quickly found out. After all, this is an army. It stands to reason that without the order of the court, they must never leave the garrison, unless there are some special circumstances.

So Zhu Zhanhe rushed to the barracks immediately, and when he saw Wu Guang, a hundred households beside Zhu Zhanji, here, he immediately determined that something must have happened to Zhu Zhanji.

"My son, my grandson was kidnapped by thieves, and now I am in the Xiishipeng village in front of me. I went to Qingzhou to move the soldiers, but I didn't expect that the Qingzhou army would not be able to attack for a long time, and we have no countermeasures."

Wu Guang immediately stepped forward to report.

"Those kidnappers know the identity of big brother?"

Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, we traveled casually, and the grandson also used a pseudonym."

Wu Guang explained again.

"Stupid, since the identity of the eldest brother has not been revealed, and the kidnappers are only asking for money, why do you want to transfer the army? Which stupid ghost came up with the idea?"

Zhu Zhanhe scolded furiously.

"Huh? This is what Taisun ordered me to do."

Wu Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then he explained aggrievedly that before he was released by the kidnappers, Zhu Zhanji specifically told him to go to Qingzhou to rescue soldiers.

"Brother, he..."

Zhu Zhanhe was also speechless when he heard the words. It was only because Zhu Zhanji was inexperienced and thought that the government could solve all problems by dispatching a large army, but he didn't know that in the chaotic Shandong border, the government had lost control of the place, and forces like the White Lotus Sect , It is no longer a local government can solve it.

"My lord, the cottage on the opposite side is obviously a group of strong men. We can't attack for a long time. What should we do next? Do we want to transfer troops to other places?"

Wu Guang asked pretending to be anxious at this time, but in fact he was very relaxed now, after all, a tall man finally came, even if the sky fell, he would be supported by him.

"You rashly sent troops to attack the Shanzhai, which may have made the Shanzhai doubt the identity of the eldest brother. After all, ordinary people can't mobilize the army of the court. What I am most afraid of now is that after they know the identity of the eldest brother, they will kill people and even destroy the body. It was too late."

Zhu Zhanhe also frowned at this time.

If Zhu Zhanji really died in the hands of a group of bandits, it would be a big joke, but it will definitely not be recorded in the history books. At most, it will be said that he died of illness. After all, this involves a royal scandal, so it will definitely be was covered up.

"The subordinates are also afraid that the grandson's identity will be exposed, so the best way now is to take down the cottage as quickly as possible, so there may be a chance of survival."

Wu Guang spoke again.

"Who is Gao Feng?"

Zhu Zhanhe ignored Wu Guang's words, but asked the general of the Qingzhou Army.

"The last general, Gao Feng, sees the crown prince!"

Gao Feng hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"In your opinion, can Xiishipeng Village be taken down in a short time?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked Gao Feng.

"Difficult, too difficult. This stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I launched a few fierce attacks, but I couldn't even break through the foot of the mountain, let alone attack the stronghold."

Gao Feng reported truthfully, of course he would not say that the strength of his army is too weak.

"3000 people can't take down a cottage, this battle is really aggrieved."

Before Zhu Zhanhe could speak, Cao Lei who was standing behind him sneered.

As the leader of Dongchang, Cao Lei had investigated the situation of the Qingzhou Army long ago, and he also knew something about Gao Feng's actions. With the old, weak, sick and disabled under his command, it would be a ghost if he could take down the stronghold .

Gao Feng didn't know Cao Lei's identity, but it must be unusual for the other party to walk with Zhu Zhanhe, so he didn't dare to speak back at this time, but his face was flushed.

"Let's go, let's go into the barracks and talk about it in detail."

Zhu Zhanhe was also in a heavy heart at this time. If Zhu Zhanji really died, not only would the whole Ming Dynasty be shocked by it, but he might also be implicated. After all, Zhu Zhanji left Beijing with him, and also When he came back, it turned out that he was fine, but Zhu Zhanji died, which would definitely arouse some people's suspicions, and maybe even Zhu Di would also be suspicious.

After entering the barracks, Zhu Zhanhe personally checked the topographic map of Xiishipeng Village, but he also frowned.

It has to be said that the terrain of Xiishipeng Village is too dangerous. Although Gao Feng's army is very strong, even if they come here with an elite army, it may be difficult to take down this village.

"My son, I have received news that Wei Qing, the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, is training troops along the coast of Qingzhou. He has a thousand troops under his command and can be recruited at any time!"

At this time, Cao Lei reported to Zhu Zhanhe in a low voice.

"Wei Qing? You really dare to name that."

Zhu Zhanhe said in surprise when he heard the words.

This Wei Qing is definitely not the great general of the Han Dynasty, but Zhu Zhanhe knows that although this Wei Qing of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of the Han Dynasty, he has made great achievements, such as the Tang Saier Uprising in history. Wei Qing put it down with one hand, and he has been fighting against the Japanese along the coast for many years, so he can be regarded as a famous general.

"There is no rush to deploy troops. The most important thing now is to get in touch with the kidnappers in the cottage. If the identity of the eldest brother has not been exposed, it is best to find a way to redeem him. After all, his safety is the most important thing!"

Zhu Zhanhe said again.

He does not intend to use force, but wants to resolve the matter as peacefully as possible, of course, the premise is that Zhu Zhanji is still alive.

　I have something to do today and tomorrow, and there are not many manuscripts saved, so I can only update two chapters a day, and it should be restored the day after tomorrow.
