Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 392 Father, son and brothers join hands, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will last forev

Chapter 392 Father, son and brothers join hands, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will last forever!
The smile on Togu Si Timur's face was even brighter.

Yao Guangxiao saw everything in his eyes and knew how to persuade Togu Si Timur. He finally concluded: "Khan, you are now the co-owner of the entire grassland. You should show your mind to abandon the small self and achieve the greater self. , you must know the deeds of our ancestor Genghis Khan better than the poor monk..."

Togu Si Timur nodded.

Let’s be the ancestor Genghis Khan.

He will definitely follow Dao Yan's strategy and focus on attacking the Ming Prince Zhu Biao.

Capturing or even killing the Ming Prince would not only severely injure the Ming Dynasty's most elite soldiers.

It can even shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!

The shame a woman brings is nothing compared to this.

Togu Si Timur gathered his thoughts and said worriedly: "Master, if the Ming Prince Zhu Biao is captured and killed by our side, will Zhu Silang inherit the Ming Dynasty?"

As he spoke, worry flashed away in Togu Si Timur's eyes.

Then, he said bluntly: "Compared to Prince Zhu Biao, I never want Zhu Silang to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao became Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Ming Dynasty is large enough.

He also has the confidence to compete with Ming Dynasty.

But if it were Zhu Silang...

A few years ago, 20 troops joined forces to suppress the enemy. Zhu Silang traveled thousands of miles and flew away, which left a deep impression on him.

I am afraid that the entire grassland does not want to see this man become the Ming Emperor.

If Zhu Silang becomes Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, grassland people will instinctively fear him.

Be timid before fighting!
"Master, you should understand that Zhu Silang is not only superior in military skills, but his martial arts skills are no worse than his military skills."

Yao Guangxiao caught the flicker of fear in Tuogusi Timur's eyes.

Secretly sighed.

Why not!
Is Prince Zhu Biaoyou outstanding?

Definitely excellent!

Over the years, he assisted Emperor Zhu in handling government affairs and managed the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner.

Ming Dynasty is not a small country.

There are complex conflicts of interest in personnel matters.

There are different situations among regions.

To manage such a huge country in an orderly manner is not something anyone can do.

In every sense of the word.

Zhu Biaodu was a very outstanding heir to the throne.

But why, in these years, Zhu Biao feels a little mediocre?

In fact, this is all an illusion.

It's because Zhu Silang is too good.

What Zhu Silang, King of Yan, accomplished was too great.

Zhu Silang's body was too radiant, so it blocked the prince's light and made the prince look slightly mediocre.

Don't say anything else.

With Zhu Silang's light so dazzling.

Prince Zhu Biao can still maintain strategic composure and remain motionless.

Perhaps, there should be some plans in private.

But it is enough to see how outstanding Prince Zhu Biao is.

At least, historically, few princes in the past dynasties have achieved this.

"Don't worry, Khan, Zhu Silang will not become the heir to the Ming Dynasty." Yao Guangxiao reassured Togu Si Timur with a smile: "First of all, through the observation of the poor monk over the years, I understand that Zhu Silang's ambition is not in the Ming Dynasty."

……

"Ten thousand steps back, even if Zhu Silang aspires to the Ming Dynasty and Prince Zhu Biao dies, it will be difficult for Zhu Silang's turn. The inheritance of our Central Plains dynasty pays attention to concubines, elders and children. After the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, it was even more rapid. The principle of establishing direct heirs and establishing elders was established. The prince has heirs. Below the prince, above Zhu Silang, there are also two brothers, King Qin and King Jin. No matter how it is, Zhu Silang's turn cannot be..."

……

He said this simply to reassure Togu Si Timur.

If something happens to Prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Silang is really likely to become the heir to the Ming Dynasty.

Without him.

Yin!
Everything Zhu Silang has done over the years shows how wise this king is!

He didn't believe that Emperor Zhu had such an outstanding son as Zhu Silang. Privately, he never thought about what would happen if the Ming Dynasty was passed on to Zhu Silang...

He was a human being who witnessed everything Zhu Silang did.

You must have this idea!
Just have this thought.

If something happens to Prince Zhu Biao,

Zhu Silang has a [-]-[-]% chance of becoming the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!
However, this hero is short of breath and talented but short of ambition!
He has no ambitions for the Ming Dynasty throne.

Over the years, I have raised and taught my grandson Zhu Xiongying. If something happens to the prince Zhu Biao,

This king will definitely support Zhu Xiongying.

but it does not matter.

As long as something happens to Prince Zhu Biao.

His chess game with the world as its chessboard turned around again.

The first turning point came when Zhu Silang became famous all over the world.

They originally thought that they could use Zhu Silang's prestige and reputation to force the prince into chaos and lose his strategic focus.

Never thought.

Prince Zhu Biao is unexpectedly excellent.

He never got into trouble.

As a result, the chess game fell into a dead silence and remained lifeless for several years.

There was nothing he could do about the chess game in the Central Plains.

He had no choice but to go to the grassland to spread Buddhism.

At the same time, he persuaded and guided Tuogu Si Timur to awaken the bloody nature of the grassland people and boost their morale and combat effectiveness by raising gu.

It was originally planned that when the grassland's military front becomes sharp again.

It will inevitably pose a huge threat to Ming Dynasty.

The kings of Sai, headed by King Qin and King Jin, would inevitably become Emperor Zhu's support.

Through the intelligence line of the grassland disciples, he assisted the King of Qin and the King of Jin in establishing prestige and meritorious deeds in the conquest of the fortress.

Lay a solid foundation for the future kings of Qin and Jin to challenge the prince.

Just two years after he first started taking action.

News came out from the court that the prince would take command of the Northern Expedition.

……

Regardless of coming to the grassland, help Tuogu Si Timur boost morale and combat effectiveness.

Or maybe he is plotting against Prince Zhu Biao now.

He is seeking change!
Different from the prince.

The prince must maintain strategic focus.

And he needs to ask for change!
Only in change can we seek opportunities.

The chess game of the Ming Dynasty was lifeless, so he jumped out of the chess game of the Ming Dynasty and promoted changes in the grassland.

Changes in the grassland will definitely affect the Ming Dynasty!

Now, the change he wanted has finally arrived!

This time, he must promote drastic changes in Ming Dynasty!

"This Khan wants to make the master my Northern Yuan Imperial Advisor and help me capture or capture Prince Zhu Biao!" Tuogu Si Timur looked at Yao Guangxiao solemnly.

Ideas are improvised.

But he was extremely urgent.

If Yao Guangxiao helps.

He will definitely be able to capture or capture Prince Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty!
In his hands, recreating the glory of Genghis Khan's period may not be an unattainable dream that can be shattered at the touch of a finger!
"Thank you, poor monk, for your trust, Khan." Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together, pretending to be sincere and frightened.

Then, the conversation changed, "But the poor monk is a monk and cannot accept the Khan's invitation..."

Since the war is about to break out.

He should also leave the grassland, return to the King of Qin, hide, work as an aide, and consult with the military.

If he becomes the Imperial Preceptor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty appointed by Togu Si Timur, there will be no place for him in the Ming Dynasty.

……

"In recent years, many outstanding talents have emerged on the grasslands, such as Mahamu, Taiping, and Batu Polo from the Mongolian Wara tribe, Guilichi, Arutai, and Tuohuan from Eastern Mongolia..."

These young prairie wolf kings were born from the bloody killings in the process of raising Gu over the years.

Young, fierce and smart!
Some of them neglected their weak and incompetent father, some of them killed their lustful and unwilling brother with their own hands, some of them betrayed their own tribal leader, and they formed a group of their own...

After he proposed the plan of raising gu to Togu Si Timur.

The young wolf kings who stood out trampled the traditional grassland rules and morals under their feet.

He is a true hero!

It can be said that these prairie wolf kings were all 'cultivated' by him.

He was quite sure.

within the next few decades.

Grassland will be the group of heroes who have trampled on the rules and moral bottom line!
……

"The poor monk only wants to promote Buddhism, and after all, the poor monk is from the Central Plains and serves as the Northern Yuan's national preceptor. The war is imminent, which is not conducive to the Khan's efforts to unite the people of the entire grassland."

Togu Si Timur frowned slightly.

Dao Yan's rejection made him a little unhappy.

At the same time, it also reminded him of the current situation of the grassland.

Indeed, many people have criticized him for supporting Daoyan to spread Buddhism in the grasslands.

It is mainly composed of newly emerging young tribal leaders such as Mahamu and Arutai.

……

Tuugusi Timur finally gave up the idea of ​​appointing Yao Guangxiao as the national counselor.

After leaving the temple.

Then he began to summon the leaders of various ministries headed by Zhang Yu and Mahamu.

For a time, the grassland that was still covered in ice and snow suddenly changed.

……

The same is true for Ming Dynasty.

The two huge political powers have a tacit understanding and are working hard to have a grand strategic decisive battle.

under these circumstances.

Zhu Di returned to Jinling City near the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On the same day, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to inform him and attend tomorrow's morning court.

Xu Miaoyun held Jindouzi and stood at the door of the dormitory with Zhu Di. She watched the eunuch who passed the order leave and was slightly surprised: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year?"

In previous years, during the Chinese New Year, people should take at least seven days of rest.

To really fully resume the rhythm, we have to wait at least until after the Lantern Festival.

Will the court begin on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year?
Zhu Di looked back and said, "The war is coming, and it will definitely not be the same as in previous years."

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched north.

At least one million civilians must be recruited!
My father definitely didn’t want to affect the spring plowing too much.

Seize the period before spring plowing and try your best to transfer military supplies to Peiping and Datong.

When the time comes to go out to fight, it will only take hundreds of thousands of civilians to accompany the army.

The worry flashed away in Xu Miaoyun's eyes.

The atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger.

He lowered his head and urged: "Yong Ming, Qi Hua, it's getting late. Go back and rest quickly. Qi Hua is not allowed to play too late, and Yong Ming is not allowed to read too late!"

"Dad, please coax me to sleep..."

Before Xiao Qihua could say the word "?", Xu Miaoyun looked angrily. The little girl's voice suddenly stopped, she stuck out her tongue, turned around and trotted away.

"Dad, mother." Yong Ming greeted the two of them and turned to leave.

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile as she watched the two little guys leaving.

Zhu Di smiled.

Knowing that Miaoyun sent the two little guys away because he wanted him to rest early.

After tonight, I'm afraid he won't have another chance to have a good rest and have a solid rest.

……

The whole Jinling people are restless.

Zhu Di had a good night's sleep.

Five watch.

Xu Miaoyun followed Zhu Di all the way from the dormitory hall to the palace gate.

The temple door opened.

The slightly cold wind blew towards his face, and Zhu Di turned around helplessly, "Do you want to follow me to go to court? It's cold outside, and it's only been a few days since you finished confinement."

Xu Miaoyun smiled, "I'll just watch from here..."

Zhu Di shook his head helplessly, reached out and pinched Xu Miaoyun's cheek, turned around, and left quickly with a long stride.

Everyone in the entire Zhu Mansion was still sleeping.

Under Xu Miaoyun's gaze.

Zhu Di rode out of the house in the dark, covered with stars and moon.

The entire Zhuzi Lane is already very lively.

The doors of every government office are open.

Civil and military officials came out of the palace gate in carriages or on horses.

Seeing Zhu Di, everyone watched secretly.

"Shiro!"

A shout came from behind.

Zhu Di turned his head...

Xu Da rode his horse to catch up.

After Zhu Di said hello, Xu Da whispered: "Be mentally prepared, your Majesty may have to bear a heavy burden on you."

"What news did Taishan hear?" Zhu Di asked in surprise.

They just came back.

During this period, he really didn't know what happened in Jinling and what rumors there were.

But since Taishan reminded him like this, he must have heard something.

"There are some rumors..."

"Third brother." Just as Xu Da's voice rang out, another voice came from behind.

Weng and son-in-law turned around and saw Lan Yu, Mu Ying and Geng Bingwen coming on horseback.

"My lord."

"Marquis of Yongchang."

……

After saying hello.

Lan Yu smiled and said, "I've been too busy recently. Dongxu and the others got married, so I couldn't go there in person."

Zhu Di smiled.

The three of Dongxu got married.

Except Uncle Tang and Ye Mao.

and Fang Xiaoruwai, the magistrate of Jiangning County.

No one from Jinling official circles came.

However, although Lan Yu and the others did not come, they sent someone to give a generous gift to the three little guys.

Give him enough face.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, he never thought that his relationship with Lan Yu would be like this.

Zhu Di smiled and cupped his fists.

Mu Ying glanced at Geng Bingwen and asked with a smile: "I heard that Lan Chun and the others came back to promote that Fourth Uncle Su is going to build a house for Geng Xuan and Chun Xiao?"

He and Lan Yu took Geng Bingwen and deliberately caught up with the fourth child on the way to the morning meeting.

In fact, he just wanted to help Geng Bingwen find out about Geng Xuan's marriage.

Geng Bingwen pricked up his ears.

Zhu Di glanced at Geng Bingwen out of the corner of his eyes and nodded with a smile, "Yes, we have even chosen the address for the house. Not to mention how happy Uncle Su is, he treats Geng Xuan as his own son..."

Fourth Uncle Su's family only has two children.

A Chunni and a Chunxiao.

They are all girls.

When he and Miao Yun first went to Tuqiao Village, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt were thinking of ways to have a boy.

But so many years have passed.

Even if times are better.

Perhaps because she was older, the fourth aunt gave birth to another child for the fourth uncle.

But she's still a girl.

……

Su Chunni married into the next-door village. Because she learned arithmetic in the village, she was already very valued by her husband's family.

Later, neighboring villages also established rural village societies.

Su Chunni's knowledge played a big role.

According to people in the village, Su Chunni is now the leader behind the rural community in neighboring villages.

The leader on the surface is Su Chunni's husband.

Chunxiao is better than Su Chunni.

Over the years, the entire Jinling City has become a household name.

……

The two daughters are also filial.

Over the years, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt have looked away.

"Suddenly, the fourth uncle and fourth aunt were so happy to have Geng Xuan as their son-in-law. On the day of their wedding, Geng Xuan was so happy and drunk that he even said that after having children in the future, he would give birth to at least one child. Follow my fourth uncle’s surname.”

Geng Bingwen's lips twitched, and then he smiled again.

This little son of his is a bit of a bastard when it comes to being a little bastard, but he has the advantage of not having a bad nature!
I can tell.

The brat was highly valued in the Su family, and they were not aggrieved because their parents ignored him when he got married.

The Su family and his wife 'praise' him so much.

When the young couple has children in the future, there's nothing wrong with one of them taking the Su family's surname and continuing the family's legacy.

He is not a pedantic person.

Zhu Di has been secretly observing Geng Bingwen.

Seeing that Geng Bingwen was not angry, he nodded with satisfaction.

Geng Bingwen's worries were resolved.

Lan Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have to be prepared. His Majesty intends to appoint you as the inspector. Mu Ying and I will be your deputy. The inspectors are rushing to Jinling one after another to prepare for the armies heading north. In addition, I also have to supervise the management of food and grass, etc..."

No wonder Taishan said, the old man wants to bear the burden for me.

If it is true as Lan Yu said.

This is no light burden.

They have to inspect schools, supervise hundreds of thousands of troops, as well as food, grass and baggage.

Next, some are busy.

"Fourth, your disciples have followed you back, right?" Mu Ying asked with a smile.

Zhu Di nodded.

Mu Ying said: "When the time comes, bring these children with you. Although we were no longer in Jinling when we inspected the officials, we have heard about their deeds. With them helping us inspect and supervise, we can feel more relaxed. "

The fourth group of students are very good at statistical calculations.

This is precisely the skill that is most needed during this inspection.

When he was seven or eight years old, he could assist Lao Si in supervising hundreds of officials.

In recent years, I'm afraid it has become even better.

Zhu Di smiled and nodded.

This kind of training opportunity is very rare.

Other people’s children who want to participate haven’t had the chance yet.

It was Lan Chun and others.

Although there is Lan Yu as his father.

But the imperial court may not dare to let Lan Chun and other second-generation ancestors participate in such an important matter.

……

If Ru Lan Yu revealed.

In the morning of the same day, Zhu Di was appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang to supervise the inspection of the Northern Expedition.

Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Fan are deputy supervisors respectively.

Special approval was given to Zhu Di to set up an office in Zhu Mansion.

During this period, officials at all levels responsible for the affairs went directly to Zhu Mansion to report to Zhu Di.

The first thing before supervision.

It is to summon generals at all levels who participated in the Northern Expedition to go to the army's first town camp to observe the new army.

Zhu Di knew that the old man was worried that the generals who were transferred back from outside would violate him, the supervising and inspecting officer.

Let these people take a look at the New Army in Army No. [-] Town and feel the new atmosphere.

……

Ending early.

All the officials filed out.

Looking at Zhu Di, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and other princes, they were talking and laughing as they walked in front.

There were whispers and discussions.

"Working directly in Zhu's Mansion, isn't this just like opening a government office and setting up your own team?"

"This is a small imperial court that is independent of the imperial court!"

"Your Majesty has not yet appointed the prince as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition. Zhu Silang shall be the first to serve!"

……

"Fourth brother, believe it or not, someone behind you is scolding you." Zhu Ming glanced back and joked with a smile.

Zhu Di smiled.

The brothers joked.

"People who are not jealous are mediocre!"

"The more complaints there are, it just proves that there is nothing they can do about Fourth Brother!"

……

Zhu Di smiled and glared at the brothers with the loudest voices.

……

The day.

Zhu Di set up a supervision team in the mansion.

Afterwards, he officially got into business.

Needless to say, many problems were discovered during the supervision process.

First of all, after inspecting the preparations of the craftsmen, we found that the craftsmen were still using a lot of manpower and material resources to make long-barreled fire guns.

The preparations for gunpowder and projectiles were very inadequate.

Zhu Di secretly broke into a cold sweat.

In this Northern Expedition, among the hundreds of thousands of troops, his three new armies, namely Army No. 7 Town, Prince Guard Command, and Jingying Army, totaling more than [-] people, all used firecrackers.

Coupled with the firecrackers originally attached to the Ming Dynasty's army.

The two types of projectiles and gunpowder are in great demand!
If the gunpowder and projectiles cannot keep up, the combat effectiveness of the new army will be reduced by at least half!
Immediately intervened personally to adjust the focus of production supervision.

At the same time, he was worried that the craftsman supervisor would ignore quality issues for the sake of progress, so he personally sent Dongxu, the Dongfan military preparation officer, to keep an eye on the craftsman supervisor. …

this day.

Xia Yuanji hurriedly came to the official room where Zhu Di worked in the mansion.

After meeting, he panted and put a small bag in front of Zhu Di, "Master, someone has tampered with the food!"

Zhu Di pushed the teacup in front of Xia Yuanji.

"Drink first."

As he spoke, he opened the small cloth bag, grabbed a small handful of rice and put it in the palm of his hand.

There are some gray-green spots on the rice grains.

Pinch a few, put them in your mouth, and chew them slowly.

Pooh!
The next second, Zhu Di spit it out suddenly, his face turned cold, and he pointed at the rice grains in his palm, "Have you figured out what's going on?"

Forget it about Chen Mi.

Soldiers are not so particular.

But these rice are already bitter to chew!

Risking life and death, staring at the cold wind outside the Great Wall, entering and fighting outside the Great Wall, bleeding and weeping, if the soldiers could only eat this kind of bitter rice.

Not to mention causing disease.

Even morale will be affected.

"Is this kind of rice rich?"

Xia Yuanji shook his head, "It's not a lot, just a part of it. It was mixed with good rice. We almost ignored it during our spot checks. According to our visits, the rice mixed in this way accounts for about [-]% of all military rations..."

Zhu Di's face turned dark.

Maybe the spoiled rice is not too much.

The [-]% of military rations that can be adulterated must not be sent to Peiping.

The imperial court must raise [-]% of the military rations as soon as possible.

"The person in charge of the warehouse has been controlled by us. In fear, we all confessed that it was some officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War who were responsible for preparing military rations, and they joined forces with some officials below the Governor to use the military rations prepared by the court and a pound of good rice. In exchange for three pounds of old rice..."

Zhu Di understood.

The old rice he had just tasted was not suitable for people to eat.

Even if you feed animals, they can easily get sick.

It can be said that this part of rice cannot be sold at any price.

One pound of good rice can be exchanged for three pounds of bad rice that cannot be eaten by livestock.

Let the soldiers eat the bad rice.

Good rice is sold in the market.

This group of people, both at the top and bottom, can gain a lot!

Zhu Di took a deep breath, took out the imperial gold medal from his sleeve, and handed it to Xia Yuanji, "Give this token to Tan Yuan and ask him to send troops. With this token, according to the list of people involved in the interrogation, one There will be no arrest, and his family will be strictly guarded by soldiers from the Army’s No. [-] Town!”

"Yes!"

……

An hour later.

Wuding Gate of Jinling City.

"Boss, look!"

A soldier on duty exclaimed and pointed into the distance.

Tan Yuan and Zhang Wu came on horseback. The first soldier behind him, loaded with ammunition, trotted towards Jinling City with a clicking sound.

The expression of the commander-in-chief on duty changed, and he rushed to greet him, "Tongzhi Tan, what's the matter with you?"

Tan Yuan held up the imperial gold medal with one hand.

After the general saw it, he and the officers on duty knelt down one after another.

This is the gold medal given to King Yan by His Majesty!

Seeing the gold medal given by the emperor is as if I were here in person!

Tan Yuan said coldly: "I am sent to the city under the supervision of the Northern Expedition to carry out a mission. As for the mission, it is highly confidential."

After saying that, he waved his hands violently.

blah blah blah...

Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers on duty at Wudingmen.

The first-class soldiers of the Army's First Town rushed into Jinling City like tigers out of their cages.

"Boss, let's just let a group of brothers from the First Town enter the city with guns on their backs. Is it really okay?"

The corners of the president's lips twitched and he said angrily: "What do you want me to do? His Majesty's imperial gold medal! You don't know the power of this gold medal!"

What's more, if King Yan really rebelled, he shouldn't have chosen this time, right?
At present, the army heading north gathered in Jinling.

King Yan's most powerful naval warships and [-] cannons are not in Jinling.

"Hey! Why did the soldiers from Army No. [-] Town suddenly enter the city?"

"Isn't that right? Since the end of the exercise, I have never seen the soldiers of the Army's First Town leaving the camp."

……

When the first army town suddenly appeared in Jinling City.

The people were surprised and talked.

Following the No. [-] generals of the First Town, they directly took Zhu Di's orders and rushed into the official residences. Tan Yuan and Zhang Wu personally led the troops and appeared in the Governor's Mansion holding imperial gold medals to pay homage to the Governor Li Wenzhong. , explain your intention.

Li Wenzhong personally assisted and took away more than a dozen officials directly from the governor.

The news spread like wildfire.

The entire Jinling shook instantly.

……

Zhenfusi Yamen.

"what!"

Jiang Wei stood up.

Ji Gang repeated: "Commander, just now, the Jinling Guards in the city suddenly came to report that King Yan's Army No. [-] Town No. [-], on the order of King Yan, suddenly rushed into Jinling City holding the gold medal given by the emperor, sealed the households and placed martial law on them. The residences of dozens of officials, including the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, and the Governor’s Office.”

Jiang Wei asked: "Have you ever found out why Zhu Silang did this?"

Ji Gang shook his head, "The incident happened too suddenly. The sealed official residences were all put under martial law by troops sent by the First Standard. The royal guards we placed in these official residences could not get any news at all."

"Keep asking."

Jiang Wei confessed and hurried to the palace.

Zhu Silang sent troops into the city without permission.

This is too big a deal.

No matter what Zhu Shiro wants to do.

He must report this situation to the emperor immediately.

……

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Jiang Yu!"

"Enter!"

A slightly angry voice came from inside the door, and Jiang Wei frowned slightly.

Pushing the door open, I was stunned...

Zhu Di and Xia Yuanji stood beside the imperial case.

Zhu Biao was actually there.

Jiang Wei came back to his senses and walked over quickly. After saluting, he glanced at Zhu Di and reported: "Your Majesty, the first official of the First Association of the First Army Town of King Yan suddenly entered Jinling City holding the imperial gold medal. I don't know what happened. What, so I came to report to the emperor..."

snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly.

He grabbed the bag, slapped it hard on Jiang Wei's face, "The Fourth Brother sent troops into the city just because of this incident! Are all your Jinyi guards deaf and blind!"

"Let those borers mix some bad rice that is not eaten by livestock into the rations for the Northern Expedition!"

Jiang Wei's face stung slightly.

Ignoring the pain, I lowered my head and saw some gray-green mold spots on the rice grains scattered under my feet.

"The minister is guilty of death!"

Jiang Gu fell to his knees.

Eyes full of grievance.

Jin Yiwei has a wide range of eyes and ears.

But it’s not a panacea.

When investigating a specific target, Jin Yiwei is conceited and will never fail.

But the matter of the northern expedition for military supplies.

Because it was the prince who took command of the Northern Expedition.

First of all, he felt that no one would do such a thing when the prince was in command.

Secondly, he was worried about arranging Jin Yiwei's spies to keep an eye on the Northern Expedition. If the prince discovered it, he would be unhappy.

Therefore, no spies were placed to keep an eye on the preparations for military rations and ordnance.

Who would have thought that these bastards, shouting to support the prince, would actually do such heartbreaking things in secret!

Zhu Di glanced at Jiang Yu.

Knowing that Jiang Yu should not be responsible for this matter, his father was just angry.

Don't talk about Jin Yiwei.

Leave it to posterity.

Surveillance cameras and network surveillance are everywhere.

Some dirty things cannot be found out.

Zhu Yuanzhang shifted his gaze and looked at Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"

"Those caught will be publicly punished." Zhu Biao said coldly: "However, we should not investigate deeply. The Northern Expedition is imminent and we need to be warned, but we must not cause turmoil in the court."

Zhu Di nodded imperceptibly.

He also agreed not to delve into it.

The timing is not right.

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed Zhu Di nodded and asked with a smile: "Fourth, what do you have to add?"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, "Those who are deeply involved, or all those who committed the crime, destroy their families! It does not involve the clan, but some of their families will be copied and destroyed."

Jiang Gu was lying on his knees. When he heard these words, the corners of his lips twitched fiercely.

In terms of ruthlessness, it has to be Zhu Silang!
Zhu Biao frowned slightly: "Fourth, is it too cruel to destroy the family? Those five or six years old, or even infant babies, at least they are not wrong."

Zhu Di was unmoved.

"Brother, this northern expedition is all about winning. If any accident occurs, it will shake the country. The most skilled generals, the most elite soldiers, a dozen princes..."

……

"In the past few days, I have been supervising everywhere, and I have not felt a strong serious atmosphere. Many people, with a kind of arrogance, think that the Northern Expedition is due to the Ming Dynasty's elite soldiers and generals, as well as the smooth weather in these years. , Prepare enough food and grass, and you will be invincible..."

……

In recent years, many people have opposed the rural community.

Hate him to the bone.

But in recent years, with the continuous advancement of rural village communities, the overall situation in Ming Dynasty has been smooth.

The treasury is full.

The entire upper level of Jinling is filled with a sense of luxury and laziness.

In Zhuzi Lane, Lanyu no longer hangs eight lanterns.

But this time when he came back, he found that there were more eight lanterns hanging.

The swill buckets at the side doors of every house are also more 'plentiful' than before.

This is what the upper echelons of power do.

These days, he, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others inspected the armies gathered in Jinling.

The atmosphere of arrogance and laxity among the generals was also very strong.

I wonder if Lan Yu and Mu Ying found out.

But at least, Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu, Zhou Lang and others who followed him to communicate with various armies also talked to him many times in private about this loose and lazy atmosphere.

"It's not good to be too serious and nervous. It's not good to be too nervous. But now, the spirit is loose and slack, which will also make the soldiers dull and make the people who cooperate with the Northern Expedition slack off. If we lose, it won't be hundreds of people." One head, a dozen families, but tens of thousands of people, involving hundreds of thousands of families, and even more importantly, the entire Ming Dynasty."

"Now, the imperial court needs to use bloody human heads to give everyone something to relax their nerves, something to put pressure on and tighten their nerves."

He is also the father of three children.

His heart is also made of flesh.

can achieve their position.

When doing things, you have to weigh the pros and cons.

Hundreds of innocent people.

And hundreds of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of families, the entire Ming Dynasty.

Which is more important?

As a decision-maker, which party should you pity?
Those soldiers who come from humble backgrounds, serve in the army, shed their blood for the country and the people to protect the peace of the country, should they be more worthy of mercy, right?
Why do they want to eat moldy and spoiled rice?

Why should they pay with their lives for the laziness, slackness and slowness of the upper class?
"Kill it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's calm voice sounded, but the hall suddenly felt a little colder. "Jiang Yu, you are responsible. Do what Zhu Di said!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

……

This case was investigated very quickly.

Five days later.

After 350 bloody heads fell to the ground.

The lax and arrogant atmosphere among all the officials in the court and the assembled armies was swept away in an instant.

Training shouts of killing began to be heard in various camps outside the city.

The efficiency of the court has also suddenly improved.

Originally, we were planning to get everything ready and officially set off in mid-February.

At the end of the first month.

All preparation matters were checked several times and all passed the acceptance.

February two.

The dragon looked up.

Zhu Yuanzhang worshiped heaven and swore an oath at Purple Mountain.

20 elites drawn from all over the south gathered at the foot of Purple Mountain.

Countless dragon flags were flapping in the wind.

on the altar.

Zhu Yuanzhang burned his watch to offer sacrifices to the Queen of Heaven.

He stood up and turned around suddenly.

Standing high, looking down below the altar.

His older sons, led by Biao'er, stood at the front.

Hongwu 17 years.

Seventeen years.

His sons finally grew up.

In this battle, although the veteran will assist and participate in the battle.

But his sons are also going to the battlefield and making their mark.

He was also worried about whether his other sons would be competent.

but……

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Zhu Di.

However, he was very relieved about the fourth child.

"Zhu Biao! Zhu Di! Come up!"

When the officials heard this, they looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Di.

Zhu Di slowed down a little, followed Zhu Biao, and walked up to the altar.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded towards Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen walked out holding the imperial edict, unfolded it, and loud and majestic voice sounded: "Prince Zhu Biao and King Yan Zhu Di take the edict!"

Zhu Di knelt down with Zhu Biao.

"The emperor, who is destined to be the emperor, issued an edict: Crown Prince Zhu Biao was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, and King Zhu Di of Yan was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition..."

Zhu Biao listened silently, his heart surged, and he clenched his fists slightly in excitement.

For so many years.

He could finally realize his dream of flying on the battlefield.

When Liu Bowen's reading ended, Zhu Biao's hands trembled slightly due to excitement, raised them high, and said loudly: "I accept the decree to thank you, long live, long live, long live!"

Zhu Di followed Xie En.

After Zhu Biao received the imperial edict.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered: "Give me the sword!"

On the other side, the little eunuch was holding two swords. Hearing the sound, he hurriedly walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

Zhu Yuanzhang first handed a beautiful sword into Zhu Biao's hands and encouraged: "Go and say hello to the civil and military officials, as well as the soldiers."

Zhu Biao walked to the edge of the altar with a smile and suddenly raised the sword in his hand.

"Prince Wansheng!"

"The prince is victorious!"

……

The voice of the mountain was the first to go out from the crowd of civil and military officials under the altar.

Immediately afterwards, at the foot of the mountain, 20 troops gathered together and shouted in unison when the sound came.

Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu, Zhou Lang and others were standing on horseback at the foot of the mountain in front of the Army's first town formation.

Looking up at the edge of the altar from a distance, he held up the red mark of the sword.

Zhang Wu raised his arms and shouted, while helplessly whispering: "In this Northern Expedition, all the glory will be given to the Crown Prince. We, the princes, will accompany the Crown Prince to 'study'."

Maybe, they are the prince's people.

Anyway, I just think Wang Ye is the best.

His Majesty appointed the prince as deputy commander of the Northern Expedition.

To put it bluntly, they value the prince’s military talents.

Let the prince help the prince to make this mighty Northern Expedition a success!
Let the prince shine brightly!
Tan Yuan smiled and said, "I came back this time just to study with the prince. When we return to the world, the prince no longer needs to restrain his own light for anyone. He does not need to shine and be a foil for others."

……

"Prince Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

……

The cry of the mountain lasts for a long time, one wave after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang handed the other sword to Zhu Di, patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, and whispered: "You brothers, this is the first time to go to the battlefield on such a large scale. Your eldest brother even led the Northern Expedition as the prince. Among you, your father is the most important." The only thing I can rest assured about is you. If I entrust you, I can only entrust your eldest brother and the others to you. Help dad lead them and win the battle beautifully. You will all come back safely..."

Liu Bowen stood near Zhu Yuanzhang and vaguely heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Can't help but be slightly surprised.

Look at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di nodded with a smile, "Father, don't worry, as long as my son is not dead, everyone will be killed..."

Before Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang glared angrily.

He didn't ask the fourth child to disregard his own life.

He just wanted his fourth brother to take good care of his other brothers.

……

The mountain call gradually fell away.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di ended their conversation.

Zhu Biao turned around, his face slightly flushed, and walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, "Father, what did you just say?"

Zhu Di spread his hands and said, "Father is kind and son is filial."

Liu Bowen made a fist, covered his mouth and lowered his head.

Zhu Biao stared with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched fiercely, he glared at Zhu Di and looked at Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, after entering the grassland, listen more to the opinions of the fourth, your second uncle, and your third uncle."

"Father, I understand." Zhu Biao agreed with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile, grabbed the hands of Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, put them together, and patted them, "You have grown up. In this battle, my father is in Jinling, waiting for your success!"

The voice fell instantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly held the hands of the two brothers and raised them high.

The hands of the father and son were held together and held high.

All officials were stunned.

The impact was huge.

For a moment, I didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.

Liu Bowen was the first to kneel down: "The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there! Long live, long live, long live!"

The officials came to their senses and knelt down.

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there! Long live, long live, long live!"

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there! Long live, long live, long live!"

……

The sound reached the foot of the mountain.

Tan Yuan and others were slightly stunned.

Tan Yuan came to his senses, turned over and dismounted, and at the same time urged, "Salute quickly!"

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there! Long live, long live, long live!"

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there! Long live, long live, long live!"

……

With the leadership of generals at all levels.

20 soldiers knelt on one knee, and the mountain shouts rose into the sky.

Zhu Di took the lead and looked at Zhu Biao with a smile.

He understood what the old man meant.

Zhu Biao smiled and nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the reaction of the two brothers, turned around with a smile, and walked quickly to the drum where the troops were sent.

Take the drumstick and play the drum yourself.

dong dong dong...

I don’t know what Biao’er did.

Or maybe the prince line did something.

When Lao Si came back this time, he kept showing good intentions to Biao'er, which made him notice the clues.

The fourth child obviously wanted to maintain the brotherhood with his eldest brother.

He is not worried about the fourth child.

Can……

Today, he just wanted to tell Biao'er.

He and Lao Si join hands so that they can sit back and relax in this bright future.

I hope Biaoer really understands his intention.

He wanted to sharpen his knife.

But I don't want to, Biao'er's knife is sharp and aimed at the fourth child!

"set off!"

"set off!"

……

Amidst the sound of drums, the generals at the foot of the mountain stood up, mounted their horses, waved boldly, and issued orders.

The 20-strong army was quickly launched.

Like a giant dragon, rushing towards the north!
