Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 94 Encounter with Li Jinglong

After Wang Du and Wu Feng discussed it, they decided to report truthfully, mainly because there was too much trouble here in Beiping.

Mr. Li entered Beijing in the thirtieth month, and Wang Du and Wu Feng received the imperial edict. When they arrived in Peiping, it was already the end of November.

This winter, hundreds of people will freeze to death in October, let alone now.

When Wu Feng and Wang Du arrived in Peking, they saw frozen corpses lying on the roadside.

Conservative estimates of the number of deaths among these victims are as high as 2,000.

This matter was so big that neither Wang Du nor Wu Feng could handle it, so they had to let their superiors handle it.

Huang Zicheng's life and death had nothing to do with them. The only thing that worried them was the emperor's grandson's future revenge.

They were sandwiched between Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Yunwen. The only thing they could do was to strive for the greatest benefits for themselves.

Fortunately, the matter in Beiping Mansion has been settled now, and the property of Prince Yan's Mansion has been returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, and will be handled by the great monk of Prince Yan's Mansion.

The surviving villagers of Xishan Village also returned to Sishan Village to live and began their mining work.

With the help of Prince Yan's Mansion, the lives of the villagers have been guaranteed, and it won't take long for them to be able to continue mining coal.

. Wu Feng, Wang Du and others wrote down what happened here in the memorial, and then quickly sent it to the capital.

Prince Yan's Mansion.

An old monk sat across from a young man.

It was none other than Zhu Di's third son, Zhu Gaosui.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang recalled Princess Yan and the Crown Prince to the capital, Zhu Di left Zhu Gaosui behind just in case.

Zhu Gaosui's face was childish, but his eyes were more stable than those of his age. He asked softly
  "Master, Huang Zicheng's people are in Beiping. All his people have been killed. Should we take back the iron ore next?"

Gao Sui, don't worry at this time. The ore is too conspicuous and keeping it will only harm us.

The old monk's eyes were drooped and there were many wrinkles on his face.

During this period, Zhu Di was placed under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the influence of Prince Yan's Mansion in Peiping was not what it used to be.

If it weren't for the old monk's hard support, Peiping would not know what kind of chaos it would be.

Fortunately, most of the foundations of Prince Yan's Mansion are intact and there is no substantial damage.

All this was planned by this old monk.

"Fortunately, Mr. Bai's blast furnace is very efficient. We still have enough iron from overseas. We don't have to worry about running out of materials to make weapons. Is Li San's son settled?"

Zhu Gaosui responded.

A family had been found in the village and the child was entrusted to them.

"Master, is it true that Li Laosan can't come back?"

Obviously, it was not a coincidence that Li Laosan filed a lawsuit. In fact, it was the old monk who arranged it behind the scenes.

For this reason, nearly two thousand villagers in Xishan Village were even killed.

But all this was planned by the old monk, and he was just adding fuel to the flames.

Not many people knew about this matter, and it could even be said that not even King Yan knew about it, because the old monk's purpose was to spread the news of a complaint among the crowd.

As a result, the villagers in Xishan Village began to spontaneously recommend Li Laosan to Beijing. After all, Li Laosan is the only one who has been to Beijing and met the Holy One.

The old monk didn't do anything else. He just watched the development of the situation and ensured that Li Laosan could return to Beijing safely. Everything went smoothly, the old monk planned the strategy, but the price was 2,500 lives.

People who do great things never care about everything!
  The old monk recited the Buddha's name silently, then looked towards the south and murmured:
  Now everything is ready, only the autumn wind is missing.

"My lord, it's time for you to come back.

The next day, Zhu Di woke up before dawn.

From this day on, Zhu Di had to be on duty in Beijing every day. Although he didn't know why Zhu Yuanzhang did this, Zhu Di did not dare to disobey.

After identifying himself, the sergeants in the Beijing camp allowed Zhu Di to enter the military camp. It seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang had already informed the military camp in the capital.

Otherwise, let alone Zhu Di, even Zhu Yunwen would not be able to break into the capital camp without permission.

Zhu Di followed a soldier and quickly walked towards the martial arts field in the Beijing camp.

This is a huge school ground, and Zhu Di was also shocked by the number of soldiers on this school ground.

This is an extremely vast and huge school grounds, because here are gathered the most elite soldiers of the entire Ming Dynasty, the original ugly army. In the capital camp, Zhu Yuanzhang gathered the most elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and incorporated them into the capital to defend the capital.

Adding up to the surrounding fringe areas inside and outside the capital, there are a full 500,000 elites under the jurisdiction of the five major legions.

Zhu Di looked at this huge army with a trace of trance in his eyes.

Thousands of troops and horses were rampaging on the battlefield, flying sand and rocks, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

Zhu Di felt that the blood all over his body was boiling. This was the life he dreamed of, fighting on the battlefield and being invincible, instead of wasting time in the spring forest.

Just as Zhu Di was recalling the glory of the past, a familiar voice came to Zhu Di's ears.

"King Yan, why are you here?"..."

Zhu Di looked back and saw a young man with handsome appearance and majestic spirit. He was really a handsome young man, an unparalleled gentleman in the world.

"Jinglong, why are you here?" "..."

Zhu Di exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face.

This man was none other than Li Jinglong, who was also the famous Jingnan God of War in later generations.

I have to say that Li Jinglong's appearance is extremely handsome, and anyone who sees it will be fascinated by it.

After hearing Zhu Di's question, Li Jinglong showed a smile on his face, and then said:

I am Cao Guogong, the commander-in-chief of the left side of the capital, so he naturally comes here every day.

What about you? Didn’t the emperor lock you up? Why are you here? "..."

Zhu Di and Li Jinglong grew up together. Although Li Jinglong is younger than Zhu Di, this does not hinder their relationship.

Li Jinglong's father, Li Wenzhong, Cao Guogong, Li Wenzhong, was originally Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. He came to Zhu Yuanzhang when he was thirteen years old, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang at the age of nineteen to conquer the north and south, and made many extraordinary achievements.

When attacking the city, Li Wenzhong was the first to get there. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang valued his nephew Li Wenzhong very much. Not only did he adopt him as his adopted son, he also made Li Wenzhong the Duke of Cao at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang's first person, the Grand Governor of the Governor's Mansion, Li Wenzhong, Cao Guogong, commanded the world's troops. This shows Li Wenzhong's status in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. Li Wenzhong also lived up to Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations and made great contributions. After arriving at Xu Da, he assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer half of the world.

Li Wenzhong and Zhu Yuanzhang had a very good relationship. Li Jinglong had often been in and out of the palace since he was a child. Over time, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di became close friends.

But later, Zhu Di went to Peiping and became King of Yan. Li Jinglong also inherited his father's legacy, inherited the position of Cao Guogong, and became the left governor of the Beijing camp.
