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

Chapter 398: Divide the troops!Zhu Di made up his mind!

Chapter 398: Divide the troops!Zhu Di made up his mind!

"A great victory in the first battle of the Northern Expedition!"

"A great victory in the first battle of the Northern Expedition!"

"The imperial court defeated the 3 yuan army in one battle and captured Zhangbeicheng!"

……

The messengers who rushed eight hundred miles to report the victory rode their horses straight through Beiping City two days later.

The whole of Peiping was boiling instantly.

"The Prince's Northern Expedition was a great victory in the first battle! I was originally worried that the Prince would be the commander-in-chief for the first time..."

"This battle should be fought by the first town of King Yan's army, right?"

"Yes, I remember that Beiyuan Khan Tuogu Si Timur issued a letter of war to King Yan."

"Why didn't you mention King Yan?"

"There are only more than 3 people in the First Army Town, right? During the siege, they actually captured Zhangbeicheng from the Beiyuan Army defending [-] people? The name of the First Army Town and the strongest army in the world is indeed It’s not a boast!”

"What a pity. King Yan should have been our lord of Peiping. This honor should all belong to us!"

"Hmph! A bunch of stupid people. If King Yan had become a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty, he would have been imprisoned long ago based on the deviant things he did!"

"Yes! Even if this battle is fought by the army's first town, it will still be under the command of the prince!"

……

In the lively discussions in the streets and alleys of Peiping, two factions formed.

One group is the common people.

One group is the gentry and merchants.

Under Zhu Ping's rule in Peking, he promoted rural village societies, which offended the interests of many gentry and merchants.

This group of people really hate Zhu Xiang.

Neither dare.

After all, Zhu Xi is the lord of Peiping.

But the gentry and merchants whose interests were harmed in Peiping hated to resist Zhu Di.

……

The [-]-mile urgent order soldiers are still rushing south at high speed.

News of Zhangbei's victory quickly spread along the way.

at the same time.

After Zhangbei's victory, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Peiping. After receiving the order to leave the fortress, they all marched outside the pass.

Throughout the north, there are official roads extending in all directions.

They are all proud and powerful soldiers marching with their heads high and their chests held high, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.

The team of servants followed behind with carriages.

The army and civilians were all whispering about Zhang Bei's victory.

"The First Army Town of King Yan is so powerful. I heard that this attack on Zhangbei is the first large-scale actual combat of the Army's First Town."

"I heard from the general above that the first town of the Army performed so well because the prince commanded it well."

"Prince Yan is also very capable of leading troops. Is this battle really being commanded by the Crown Prince?"

"It should be so. The general above said so, so it must be right."

"I didn't expect that our Crown Prince's ability to lead troops is actually better than that of King Yan. Over the years, I have heard about King Yan's establishment of rural village communities and the system of employing workers and stock ownership, but I have seldom heard of any outstanding things done by the Crown Prince... …”

"Your Majesty, this is nothing but a blockbuster."

……

Li Jinglong and Chang Mao rode on horseback beside the official road, accompanying the army as they marched slowly.

The officers and soldiers were all talking. Li Jinglong's eyes flashed with worry, and he turned his head, "Zheng Guogong, will anything happen if we do this?"

He just understands now.

When the prince ordered people to come back to assist the army in marching north.

Why did Chang Mao pull him and actively ask for help?

It turned out to be for this reason!
The messengers who announced the victory to the world were originally the prince's personal soldiers.

The brother of Dong Gongwei.

When these soldiers left, the generals led by the East Palace Guards must have made an explanation.

Otherwise, the content of the good news conveyed along the way would not be so vague.

They only talked about "a great victory in the first battle" and "defeated the 3 yuan army and captured Zhangbei" Yunyun, without mentioning a word about the King of Yan and the first army town.

The common people are fine.

It was known in advance that Togu Si Timur challenged Zhu Laosi's army in the first town.

Even the court cannot control what the people talk about.

By knowing the details of the battle in advance, the people have begun to talk about the army's first town, which is invincible and invincible.

The military and civilians are different.

The military is more closed off.

Although the soldiers also knew that this battle was fought by the Army first.

However, Chang Mao hinted at all the military generals, asking all military generals to unify their words, swear by them, and repeatedly preach to the soldiers.

Although this battle was fought by the Army's first town.

But the prince commanded.

The prince played a big role in this!

It turns out.

Chang Mao's trick works very well.

The closed nature of the army is coupled with the prestige and majesty of the generals in the hearts of the soldiers.

When the generals stood up one after another, they vowed and preached repeatedly.

The soldiers really believed that this battle could be won by a group of recruits with no actual combat experience in the first town of the Army.

The prince's wise command produced a greater effect.

The effect is very good.

But after arriving in Zhangbeicheng.

If Zhu Laosi knew, what would be his reaction?
A few days ago, the scene of the Army's No. [-] town attacking Zhangbei was still vivid in my mind.

If these cold-blooded murderers make a fuss, they will probably cause a lot of trouble.

Secondly, where is the prince?
Will the prince be unhappy?
If he knew Chang Mao did this, he would not come back with him at all.

Although he doesn't like Zhu Silang either.

But there was no grudge between them, and he didn't want to offend Zhu Silang.

Chang Mao glanced at Li Jinglong from the corner of his eye, a smile appeared on his lips.

This time, he just wants to drag Li Jinglong into trouble!
"What are you afraid of!"

Chang Mao looked at Li Jinglong with a smile and said firmly: "Even if Zhu Laosi knew about it, I guess he would not get upset. This northern expedition was originally intended to establish absolute prestige for the prince. Since he has returned to the court, he should know it very well. This purpose.”

"Why do you think he agreed to a fight with Togu Si Timur?"

"He just wants to set an example for everyone, so that everyone can unite as one. Since he wants to unite as one, he should tolerate this grievance, right?"

……

Li Jinglong looked at Chang Mao's face with wide eyes.

Isn't this just pushing your nose and pushing your face to the limit?

Zhu Laosi accepted the challenge and led the army's first town to fight a difficult siege.

People are setting an example.

Can’t you see clearly that if you want to unite people’s hearts, you have to push your limits?

Go on like this.

In the future, the imperial court will really encounter difficulties that it cannot overcome.

Will Zhu Laosi still be so reckless and come back to help?

Although he didn't like Zhu Laosi from the bottom of his heart, he also felt that he couldn't be like this in life.

If you do this, the road will become narrower and narrower!
Chang Mao didn't feel anything was wrong and continued to talk to himself, "As for the prince, he just scolded me in front of everyone!"

The prince is the superior one.

Is he willing to see that in the future, the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty under his rule will respect Zhu Laosi from top to bottom?

The answer is definitely no!

It is not convenient for the prince's brother-in-law to do these things.

In order to show the world that we are brothers, we cannot do anything.

But he can!

After arriving in Zhangbei.

The most likely thing for the brother-in-law is to scold him severely in front of Zhu Laosi and show his attitude.

What else could it be?

Li Jinglong looked at Chang Mao, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

This time, Chang Mao considered the reactions of the prince and Zhu Laosi in great detail.

The calculation is also very shrewd.

This conspiracy can be regarded as greatly benefiting the prince.

Prince Li is actually Li Chang's family.

Benefit the entire prince family.

But it feels awkward no matter how I think about it.

Chang Mao considers short- and medium-term interests more.

What about the long-term interests of Ming Dynasty?
If doing this completely chills Zhu Laosi's heart, what impact will it have on the long-term interests of Ming Dynasty?
He couldn't judge.

Does this move have more benefits than disadvantages, or does the disadvantages outweigh the benefits?

……

Four days later.

The good news came when we were still rushing to Jinling.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of northern expedition troops, arrived in Zhangbeicheng.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di led their generals to greet the soldiers who had gathered north at the top of Zhangbeicheng.

Hundreds of thousands of troops stood in formation outside the city.

"Victory in the first battle, the prince is mighty!"

"Prince mighty!"

"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

……

At a certain moment, a soldier in the array shouted softly. In less than half a stick of incense, the roar of hundreds of thousands of people condensed into a wave of sound and soared into the sky.

Zhu Biao was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, he waved in the direction of the array below the city.

The mountain's voice suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Li Jinglong's eyes widened and he turned his head in surprise.

The soldiers at the bottom are too easy to fool, right?
Do you really believe that this battle was the result of the prince's wise command?
He looked at Chang Mao.

Chang Mao said with a proud smile on his face, "Don't look at me like that, this was not arranged by me, it was all done spontaneously by the soldiers from their hearts!"

Li Jinglong forced out a smile.

The worry flashed away in his eyes.

He looked up and looked for Zhu Di.

I saw Zhu Di standing next to Zhu Biao, talking to Zhu Xi and other princes about something.

Talking and laughing.

He didn't seem annoyed by it.

Is it taking the overall situation into consideration?

Chengfu deep?
Or just don't care?
He couldn't judge.

……

edge of the crowd.

Tang He and Xu Da stood together. When Xu Da looked away from Zhu Di, his face turned slightly dark.

Hey!
He sighed silently and forced a smile, "The people below must have made the decision without permission."

snort!
Xu Da hummed slightly and glanced at Tang He from the corner of his eye, "Second brother, this will chill people's hearts. Look at Tan Yuan, the first general of the army!"

Tang He looked at it from the corner of his eye.

Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and other generals from Qiu Fuwei stood with Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others.

Although he didn't show any anger.

But his face was solemn, and there was no trace of a smile.

Xu Da continued to whisper: "Silang doesn't mind, but he is the lord of Dongfan and the supreme commander of the first town of the army. While he is thinking about the court, he must also think about the brothers and people under his command. Second brother, you If the imperial court really encounters difficulties that cannot be overcome in the future, can Shiro still come back to help regardless of personal interests?"

Even if Shiro is foolishly willing.

We also have to consider whether the following brothers are willing or not!

This is like a man starting a family and starting a business.

You can't just consider your parents' feelings like you did before you got married.

You also have to consider the feelings of your wife and children.

People like the prince have put Shiro in a very embarrassing position for the sake of short- and medium-term interests.

Tang He sighed silently.

In fact, when I was comforting the third child just now.

He already understood.

This northern expedition may be the last time that the fourth child contributes to the imperial court!
It was a grand welcome party, and everyone in the military and upper echelons were smiling on the surface.

But they all have their own thoughts in their hearts.

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched towards the established camp in an orderly manner.

Zhu Biao led all the generals above the commander level to return to the temporary commander's mansion in the city.

The generals sat down, and hundreds of people gathered together.

Zhu Biao looked around the generals and said: "Zhang Bei has been captured. This time we have called for a military meeting to discuss how to fight next."

The generals looked at each other, whispered to each other, and discussed in low voices.

Zhu Biao waited patiently.

It was his first time to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Before leaving, his father had said that he should listen more to the opinions of generals at all levels.

Moreover, although the second uncle and the third uncle did not directly command the troops.

But he was sent by his father to serve as a military advisor.

Zhu Di sat in the first place on the left, higher than Xu Da and Tang He. He looked at everyone and stood up immediately.

The action shocked everyone.

Back and forth, hundreds of pairs of eyes were projected on Zhu Di.

Zhu Di cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother, I have some ideas. How about I offer some advice?"

Zhu Biao nodded with a smile.

The fourth child is humble.

Let’s talk about the concept of war.

All the generals present.

I'm afraid only the second uncle and the third uncle, who have very rich practical experience, can compare with the fourth uncle.

Zhu Di received the approval, turned around, and walked straight to the full picture of the grassland hanging on the left.

The sound of tables and chairs moving was heard.

Zhu Biao led the crowd and followed him, forming a circle and looking at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di held the baton and clicked on the picture, "Helin was the ruling center of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After Tuogu Si Timur succeeded to the throne, he moved the ruling center to his traditional territory of Yuerhai."

"Although the ruling center has moved, we cannot ignore that Helin has always had a very important position since the Mongols began to rise. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was the center of the Mongolian grassland territory...

……

Therefore, in this battle, in addition to destroying the royal court in Beiyuan Yuerhai, we also need to conquer Helin. "

……

Zhu Di is still talking.

Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong stood behind the generals, looking at each other, and their eyes communicated excitedly: Zhu Silang is giving you a pillow because he is sleepy!
Zhu Silang proposed that Helin and Yuerhai should be attacked at the same time in this battle.

With two goals, we must divide our forces.

The attack on Yuerhai and the destruction of the Beiyuan Royal Court must be the main force, and must be commanded by the prince.

What about attacking with Lin all the way?

It seems that Zhu Silang wants to lead the army himself.

OK!

Isn't this exactly what they want to see?
Zhu Silang will be attacked by Togu Si Timur's heaviest troops!
……

Zhu Di put down his baton and looked at Zhu Biao, "Brother, if we want to achieve this goal, we have to divide our forces. I want to lead an army alone to attack Helin and contain some of the troops for the main army. I hope that eldest brother will approve my suggestion. "

Zhu Biao remained silent.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other and then looked at Zhu Di.

They all knew Zhu Laosi's intention to attract Bei Yuan's heavy troops.

But I agree to Zhu Laosi’s suggestion.

This is equivalent to putting Zhu Laosi in a very difficult and dangerous environment.

According to Tuo Gusi, Timur's hatred for Zhu Laosi.

The attack on Helin is partial, I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight!

Doing this is too unfair to Zhu Laosi.

But put aside the feelings of guilt.

From the perspective of a general.

This proposal is indeed the most advantageous plan for this battle and the most likely to achieve an unprecedented victory.

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Biao, stood up, and said, "Let's not think about anything else. We just need to consider whether this offensive plan is the most beneficial to the battle situation. I support this plan."

Shiro had already discussed it with him.

And hope to get his support.

Tang He glanced at Zhu Di, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.

The fourth child made such sacrifices for Daming regardless of personal interests.

After this war, I'm afraid it will never happen again!

This is Daming's loss!
Tang He regretfully closed his eyes, opened them again, and supported: "I agree too!"

"The general will support you!"

"The general will support you!"

……

After Xu Da and Tang He expressed their opinions, the generals who had concerns and did not want to express their opinions hastily expressed their opinions one after another.

Brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan looked at each other, glanced at Zhu Biao, and expressed their support.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Biao.

'As a general, you must be decisive! '

Zhu Biao felt the solicitous looks of everyone and thought of this sentence mentioned repeatedly in Sun Tzu's Art of War annotated by Zhu Di.

Condition your thoughts.

After coming back to his senses, he looked at Zhu Di and nodded, "Okay, big brother approves your plan. You can choose whatever troops you want!"

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng looked at Zhu Di secretly.

If the fourth ghost forgets his brothers this time.

Just wait for the brothers to have a good argument with him!

Zhu Di noticed the look between the two of them, smiled secretly, and then said: "Brother, in addition to my army's first town, I also want the second brother and the third brother..."

Zhu Di ordered all the brothers' vassal guards in succession.

The soldiers of the feudal king's guard are all elite.

But the brothers have never had the experience of leading troops in such a large-scale actual combat.

His father asked him to take care of his brothers.

It's one reason.

In addition, Big Brother’s main force needs real elites.

Finally, the brothers must have no resistance or hostility towards him, and his orders can be implemented throughout the army.

……

When Zhu Di was talking, Yao Guangxiao gave Zhu Fan and Zhu Xi a vague look.

He hoped that Zhu Fan and Zhu Chen would refuse.

This time, the prince will most likely be attacked by Bei Yuan's heavy troops.

The king of Qin and the king of Jin followed the prince.

It doesn't matter even if all the feudal king's guards are wiped out.

A feudal king's guard can be exchanged for the merit of protecting the prince to the death.

The prince died in battle.

This performance can win the favor of the prince family and lay the foundation for winning over the prince family.

It's also good that the prince is fine.

Can win the prince's unlimited trust and favor.

It will be beneficial to the two princes and expand their power!

It's just a sacrifice of one guard.

These soldiers deserved to die for the future of the two princes!

"Also, how about you give me the Daliao River Guards? I have some experience working with the Daliao River Guards, so I am more comfortable commanding them."

After speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di.

Calculating Zhu Di's military strength.

The total strength of the vassal guards of the emperor's brothers is almost 12, plus the Daliao River Guards and the Army's First Town.

The partial division under the command of Laosi barely had 15 troops.

"Fourth, are the troops too thin?"

Lan Yu nodded and said: "King Yan, 15 troops are a bit too thin. Based on Tuogu Si Timur's hatred for you, it can be foreseen that the Yuan army you will face along the way will not be too small. .”

Zhu Di shook his head with a smile, "To attract the Yuan army with a partial division, we must use the least amount of troops to attract the most enemy troops. If not, the purpose of creating opportunities for the main force with the partial division will not be fulfilled. Besides, having too many troops is not conducive to our rapid maneuvering." ."

"Actually, in my plan, 15 troops is too many."

"King Yan."

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, there was a sound from behind, and everyone followed the sound and looked.

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands and said, "What King Yan said is indeed very reasonable. Moreover, the poor monk thought it would be better to let King Qin and King Jin stay with the Crown Prince."

He actually didn't want to come forward.

However, the kings of Qin and Jin turned a deaf ear to his hints and ignored them at all.

Everyone looked at Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Di also looked at Yao Guangxiao and wondered about Yao Guangxiao's intention.

Worried about the danger of second brother following him?
Or maybe he didn't want his second brother to take his orders and fight He Lin?

After all, he knew that Yao Guangxiao encouraged his second brother to fight for the throne.

The contribution and glory of destroying Yuan'er Haibei Yuanwang's court must be unmatched by Pianshi.

He was not sure whether he could even conquer Helin.

As for the third brother, Yao Guangxiao was also involved.It should be to cover up the purpose of letting the second brother follow the eldest brother to attack Yuerhai.

It is not appropriate for the two brothers to follow him, which is a hint to all generals: It is not appropriate for him, the younger brother, to command his elder brother!If conflicts and discord arise during the war, the second brother and the third brother may use their status as elder brothers to oppress others, which may lead to poor command.

With my eldest brother, this problem doesn't exist.

The eldest brother is not only the coach.

Still the eldest brother.

Both identities can suppress the second and third brothers.

This damn monk really has eight hundred evil intentions!

I made him run away in the first place.

What a big mistake!

Lan Yu didn't know that Zhu Fang wanted to fight for the heir apparent.

I really thought that Yao Guangxiao was worried that conflicts between brothers would cause difficulties in commanding the partial division.

In his opinion.

Zhu Di led a partial army alone to attract the troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

They also took away the princes whose command abilities had not been tested in actual combat.

No more difficulties can be added to the partial divisions commanded by Zhu Di.

He immediately cupped his fists and said: "It is indeed inappropriate for the King of Qin and the King of Jin to follow King Yan's partial army. Your Majesty should choose two more guards and horses."

Mu Ying nodded.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di, "Fourth brother, let the second and third boys follow me. Brothers are marching north. You can't take all the brothers away. I am the eldest brother..."

Zhu Biao did not continue.

Reminded by Yao Guangxiao.

He also felt that it was inappropriate for the second and third sons to follow the fourth.

Especially the second child.

I have a bad temper.

The fourth child may not be able to suppress it.

Zhu Di couldn't laugh or cry, and said with a smile: "Master Daoyan, there is still an unfulfilled fist and foot agreement between us. This battle is over, let's find a chance."

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and bowed with a smile.

My scalp is numb.

He knew that King Yan was suspicious of his behavior.

Once again, he had murderous intent.

It's just that the war is coming, and this king is very rational.

Zhu Di looked away and smiled at Zhu Biao: "Brother, I just said that there are too many troops. Let the second brother and the third brother follow you. I have enough troops left here."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, "Is this small amount of troops enough? Then choose a few guards from them. You are good at commanding the new army. I will assign two of the new troops in the three towns of Jingying to you..."

"Brother, that's enough." Zhu Di interrupted Zhu Biao.

He knew very well that he might not be able to command the new army in Beijing.

The generals of the imperial court.

Even if it doesn't contradict him.

Even if I respect him in my heart.

Out of their own political interests, no one wanted to get close to him.

Except for the two fools Qiu Laoer and Zhu Laosan.

Others don’t want to end up with the reputation of being friends with Zhu Silang!
Nothing now.

What consequences will this good relationship have in the future?

No one can predict.

At Zhu Di's insistence.

The matter was thus decided.

When Zhu Biao sent the generals back, he called Zhu Di and Chang Mao to a halt.

……

In the courtyard of the front house of Shuai Mansion.

With a dark face, Zhu Xi walked out of the house and said coldly: "Who asked you to make the decision for me!"

If there weren't too many people at the time, he would have taught Yao Guangxiao a lesson.

The boss is unreasonable.

The fourth child proposed to lead the partial division alone, but the boss remained silent and made no attempt to stop him!

Yao Guangxiao wanted him to gain credit for attacking the Beiyuan Royal Court.

He actually made the decision for him and abandoned the fourth child!

"Your Majesty, King Yan is so capable. Since he dares to do this, he must have a plan to avert danger. The poor monk is not worried at all that King Yan will be in danger."

Zhu Silang doesn’t care for his army’s No. [-] soldiers?
This is his private soldier!
If he runs out of fights, the court will not replenish him!

What's more, he also brought the princes with him.

Zhu Silang doesn't care about his brother's life or death?

……

Zhu Xiang's anger gradually weakened as he listened to Yao Guangxiao's analysis, and he glared coldly, "I think you are doing a small thing at the expense of a big thing. Learning the fighting skills from the fourth child, or taking the credit for conquering the Beiyuan Royal Court, which is more important!"

Snapped!
After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and left quickly.

Yao Guangxiao was slightly stunned.

He just wanted to let the King of Qin and the King of Jin stay with the prince, and when the prince encountered danger, he would show his loyalty and win the favor of the emperor and all the officials in the court.

I really overlooked that by following King Yan, King Qin could learn how to lead troops in war.

At a certain moment, Yao Guangxiao shook his head.

He can also lead troops to fight, deploy troops and plan strategies!
King Qin doesn’t have to follow King Yan!
……

Chamber.

Zhu Di came out of it.

Lan Yu, who had been waiting outside, saw Zhu Di and hurriedly greeted him, "King Yan, Chang Mao's behavior in the army of deliberately undermining the army's first town, I can be sure that it has nothing to do with the prince."

When he was in the city, he wanted to talk to Zhu Laosi about this matter.

But the timing wasn't right.

Zhu Di smiled and nodded, "I know..."

As he spoke, he pondered for a moment...

"Yongchang Marquis..." He decided to be honest with Lan Yu, "This is the last time I will lead the troops and return to the court regardless of personal gain or loss. After this battle is over, no matter what my father's attitude is, I will not return to the court often. …”

Lan Yu listened, her heart sinking to the bottom.

He spoke eagerly, "King Yan..."

Zhu Di raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "I am not resentful because of what happened..."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Lan Yu followed silently.

"The Marquis of Yongchang is now an extremely rational and smart man. He should have seen the purpose of leading the army to attack the city in the first battle."

Lan Yu nodded silently.

Zhu Laosi just wants to set an example and unite people's hearts.

Unexpectedly, it had no effect at all.

On the contrary, Chang Mao was appointed as the leader. Some people under the prince's command felt that Zhu Laosi was easy to bully and could slap him in the face.

"I thought that as long as I showed that I didn't threaten my eldest brother's status, and that I didn't want to gain anything from Ming Dynasty, and that it didn't belong to my interests, everyone could put aside their prejudices against me. Facts have proved that prejudices are such a thing..."

Zhu Di shook his head with a smile.

"This incident can help us see the future clearly. In the future, if I continue to return to the court frequently and appear next to my father, many people will do more tricks, which will only make the relationship between me and my eldest brother worse."

"Moreover, I am now responsible for my brothers. This is why I said that after this battle, I will no longer ignore personal interests."

Lan Yu only felt panicked.

He can completely understand Zhu Laosi.

Regardless of personal interests, some people in the court are trying to make things worse.

If Zhu Laosi continues like this.

It will only make these people more emboldened.

In addition, Zhu Laosi also needs to be responsible for his brothers.

Zhu Laosi can suffer these grievances because of his filial piety to His Majesty.

But Zhu Laosi could not let his soldiers suffer injustice.

Zhu Di paused, turned around, and looked at Lan Yu with a smile, "Yongchang Hou, in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh years of Hongwu, I never thought that we could have such a heart-to-heart conversation. At that time, Yongchang Hou was like a A sword that is always unsheathed.”

"To be honest with Marquis Yongchang, I even told Miaoyun that people like you who don't know how to raise the front will die sooner or later without a burial place. I didn't expect that you would change so much later."

Lan Yu blushed slightly, smiled sarcastically, and said calmly: "Speaking of which, you, Mr. Zhu, are half my husband."

His transformation was all because of Zhu Laosi.

The two smiled at each other.

Zhu Di continued to walk forward and said as he walked: "I have a heart-to-heart talk with Marquis Yongchang today because I want to tell Marquis Yongchang that I never want to turn against my eldest brother or the Ming Dynasty, and I never want to fight with swords, but if I want to maintain harmony between us, we need to Many people work together, I have to work hard, and there are people from Ming Dynasty who also need to work hard, meet each other halfway, and work together to achieve something."

"I think Marquis Yongchang can shoulder this heavy responsibility."

After saying this, Zhu Di raised his hand and stopped Lan Yu from following without looking back.

stride away.

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Di's tall back.

'There are so many things about this king...'

To be honest, it is already beyond the emperor.

If he hadn't been the prince's wife's uncle.

He will choose to follow Zhu Laosi.

Although Zhu Laosi made it clear that after this battle, he would never help the prince or the Ming Dynasty again regardless of personal interests.

But he was not dissatisfied at all.

……

Lan Yu bowed solemnly to Zhu Di's back.

The sound of 'rustling' footsteps came.

"how?"

Lan Yu straightened up, looked at Mu Ying, and smiled bitterly: "Zhu Laosi did not feel any resentment over this matter. He still wanted to maintain the harmony of love and affection with the prince and the Ming Dynasty, but he also made it clear that he would help the prince and the Ming Dynasty regardless of personal gain or loss. Help Daming, this is the last time, and you have high hopes for me, I hope I can..."

call!
After Muying heard the entire conversation.

A long sigh of relief.

Patting Lan Yu's shoulder, "It's not the worst outcome. The Fourth Brother said that you can shoulder the responsibility of being harmonious and friendly within Ming Dynasty. This is true. From now on, you can only take the lead in this matter." "

"Me, Hui Zu, Geng Bingwen, Fang Xiaoru, Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong, we, the force that hopes to have a good relationship with the fourth son, can unite to suppress the force that is hostile to the fourth son, and can't wait to instigate the prince and the fourth son to turn against each other! "

Lan Yu nodded with a smile, "Zhu Laosi is a man who does great things. This person's demeanor, to be disrespectful, has surpassed that of the emperor. In my heart, I have a premonition that Ming Dynasty is gradually being left behind by Zhu Laosi. Now, more and more It’s getting stronger.”

Mu Ying watched Zhu Di leave, wondering whether to nod or not.

Those who are hostile to Lao Si.

A lot of people just don't understand this.

But as long as he interacts with Lao Si more closely, premonitions like Lan Yu's will become stronger.

Mu Ying came back to her senses and said with a smile: "In the future, we are afraid that we will be scolded by many people as rebels and rebels who are loyal to Lao Si. You, the biggest rebel leader, must be prepared to be criticized."

Haha ...

Lan Yu suddenly smiled heartily.

"Uncle, what's the good thing?"

The sudden sound suddenly ignited the fire in Lan Yu's heart.

follow the sound...

Chang Mao came with a smile on his face.

As he judged, the best his brother-in-law could do was give him a scolding.

Snapped!
As soon as Chang Mao got closer, he slapped him in the face.

Chang Mao was stunned instantly, covered his face, raised his head, and glared at Lan Yu angrily.

"Do you know what stupid thing you have done! Your sister is the princess, and your nephew is the grandson! The grandson is the student of King Yan! The relationship between them is that of uncle and nephew, master and apprentice, better than father and son!"

Lan Yu was almost furious.

He can be 100% sure.

Xiongying knew this.

He must really hate his uncle Chang Mao!
His uncle, Chang Mao, probably doesn't even have the weight of Zhu Laosi in Xiongying's heart!

Chang Mao covered his face and said harshly: "I am doing it for the prince! This battle is a battle for the prince to establish his prestige. Since Zhu Silang has returned to the court to help in the battle, he should be ready to pay! Facts have not proved that Zhu Lao and his four forbearers Already..."

"To shut up!"

Lan Yu scolded angrily.

If it weren't for Chang Mao and other generals, they would have resisted and rejected Zhu Laosi.

Zhu Laosi would never make a decisive decision to distance himself from Daming so quickly!

Now, His Majesty is still alive!
Originally, the previous relationship could still be maintained.

At least it won't change until His Majesty passes away.

Just because Zhu Laosi tried hard, he could not change the resistance and hostility of Chang Mao and others.

Zhu Laosi saw clearly that this prejudice could not be changed or even alleviated, so he resolutely made up his mind to distance himself from Ming Dynasty.

Don't pull away anymore.

Walking too close.

The relationship between each other will inevitably get worse because of Chang Mao and this group of people!

"Do you think this will be beneficial to the prince? Then have you considered it in the future! When the court encounters difficulties and needs help from King Yan, if you act like a bastard, will King Yan still take action!"

Chang Mao was unconvinced and muttered in a low voice, "If we win this battle, the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be destroyed, and the grassland people will survive. The Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, with countless manpower and material resources. Do you still need Zhu Silang's help?"

Zhu Silang, a poor relative, should not be so shameless when the time comes and seek help from Ming Dynasty and ask His Majesty to fund him, that would be great!

Lan Yu gritted her teeth angrily.

He looked at Mu Ying.

Now, they finally understand the mentality of people like Chang Mao.

They always believed that the Ming Dynasty was a land of vast resources.

Zhu Laosi is not needed at all.

In fact, this group of bastards confidently thought that with the help of Ming Dynasty's strong foundation, they could easily crush and eradicate Zhu Laosi.

This is a very dangerous idea!
"Do you think that your little cleverness can defeat Zhu Laosi's reputation? Can you defeat people like Zhu Laosi?"

Lan Yu glared fiercely.

Too lazy to talk anymore.

People like Zhu Laosi.

He had already figured it out.

I can't hold it down at all.

If you don’t believe it, just wait and see!
Next, will Zhu Laosi no longer be able to win exciting battles?

Can be pressed once.

Can you still press it every time?

……

at this time.

Zhu Di has left the city and returned to the army's first town camp.

Handsome account.

Zhu Di looked at Tan Yuan and others with a smile, "My brothers have been wronged this time. My brothers and I hereby promise that, just this once, after this battle, I will take my brothers back to Dongfan, and we will capture Luzon." , and establish itself as a country!”

When Tan Yuan and others heard this, they all laughed excitedly and looked at each other.

In fact, they mainly felt unworthy for the prince.

As for myself.

I used to be a nobody.

Get used to being wronged.

Even Sun Yuanchu was just a second-generation ancestor who was looked down upon by his family and was wronged everywhere.

Tan Yuan stood up.

Whoa!

Everyone stood up in unison.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

A high-spirited and sonorous sound rushed out from the tent.

Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Gui and other brothers heard that Zhu Di was back and came in a hurry. They happened to hear the high-spirited sound coming from the tent.

They looked at each other for a moment.

……

Near noon.

Royal Palace.

Jiang Wei held a letter in his hand and hurried to the imperial study room.

After the officials of the six departments noticed it, they all looked sideways. They immediately thought of the battle of Zhangbei. During the discussion, they eagerly waited for the news.

All the way to the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"Enter!"

Can't wait to hear the sound.

Jiang Yingti stepped inside.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one in the imperial study.

Jiang Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, in the past few days, Taisun, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Yuying were all taken to the East Palace by the Crown Princess to stay for a while.

Otherwise, there are some things in this good news that he would not be able to report directly.

"Give us the news!"

Before Jiang Yu could salute, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to urge him.

After receiving the letter.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, but his face gradually darkened.

He waved his hand and dismissed the palace maid. When the door of the palace was closed and only two people were left, he asked in a cold voice: "It was mentioned in the letter that the first town of the Army was ignored in the [-]-mile emergency report. What does it mean?"

Didn't the emperor guess it?

Jiang Wei ventriloquised.

In fact, he wanted to suppress the matter.

Zhu Silang was suppressed.

He likes to hear this kind of thing.

But this matter is too big.

He dare not.

"Your Majesty, according to Jinyiwei's investigation, this battle is completely commanded by King Yan..."

……

"It should be that some people around the prince want to help build the prince's prestige, so they did this. Your Majesty, the troops reporting the victory have not yet arrived in Jinling. How should the imperial court promote it in Jinling?"

His message was delivered by the Jinyiwei system, with flying pigeons and war horses.

It is faster than the soldiers who report victory.

snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang grimaced and snorted, "Announce to the outside world that King Zhu Di of Yan commanded the Army's First Town to conquer Zhangbei. At the same time, he sent Jin Yiwei to intercept the soldiers who reported victory, and asked them to report victory honestly after entering Zhili. Don't play tricks. !”

"The minister obeys the order!"

After Jiang Wei accepted the order, he hurriedly left to make arrangements.

This matter must be done quickly.

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly threw the letter and newspaper on the table, stood up irritably, and walked to the window.

The hands were slightly curled and clenched.

There's a bunch of bastards down there.

How could the fourth child still stay in Ming Dynasty!

I'm afraid, the fourth child has completely made up his mind, right?

……

"Great victory!"

"The First Town of Your Majesty's Army captured Zhangbeicheng with minimal casualties!"

……

The news spread in the palace.

Put on your wings and fly quickly to the East Palace and fly outside the palace.

The officials were silent.

But he didn't dare to do anything.

Someone had tried to trick someone before, but Liu Bowen, the left prime minister, quickly followed the order and had several colleagues who advised how to treat the grassland after the war stripped of their official uniforms and kicked out of the six departments.

Foresight!
……

East Palace.

Mrs. Chang was having lunch with her three children.

After hearing the news, Xiao Qihua put down her chopsticks in excitement, jumped off the stool, and ran outside: "My father won the fight! My father won the fight..."

"Qihua!"

Yong Ming wanted to stop him, but Chang held his hand down with a smile.

Mrs. Chang stretched out her hand to rub Yong Ming's little head and said with a smile: "Xiong Ying, you and Yong Ming go and take our family Qihua to tell your fourth aunt the good news."

"My child, you obey!" Zhu Xiongying accepted the order with a smile, pulled Yong Ming and ran out.

……

The prince's concubine's bedroom.

Lu, Zhu Yunwen, mother and son were also having lunch.

"Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that my grandson took Zhu Yongming and Zhu Qihua out of the East Palace to report Xu Miaoyun's victory..."

It took a long time for the maid to finish her report.

Lu didn't even respond.

"mother……"

It wasn't until Zhu Yunwen spoke that Mrs. Lu came back to her senses and looked.

Zhu Yunwen asked: "Many people said that my fourth uncle would definitely lose. So many people are not optimistic about it. How can my fourth uncle still win? Is my fourth uncle so good? Is he better than my father?"

"Your fourth uncle is indeed very powerful, but not as good as your father. Just wait, news of your father's victory will come soon, and it will be an even greater victory!"

Mrs. Lu smiled and touched Zhu Yunwen's little head.

Zhu Yunwen nodded seriously.

When the time comes, he must show off in front of Zhu Qihua and Zhu Yongming!

On this day, the whole Jinling was boiling!

The name of the first army town and the strongest army in the world is talked about endlessly by the people of Jinling.
