Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 10
Zhu Di has been in Xu Da's barracks since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lao Zhu hopes that he will suffer a bit and stop clamoring to join the army.

Because he loves the military camp, Zhu Di persisted until the end of September that he had no intention of admitting defeat, so he came to find Zhu Biao when he was free.

"General Xu ordered Zhu Silang to bring Brother Mingqi No. [-]."

Walking to the door, seeing Zhu Di, Zhu Biao let him enter the yard.

The Mingqi No. [-] carriage outside the door is already what Zhu Biao said last time in the barracks.

There are more iron objects in the carriage, and the iron materials are fixed around it, which is extremely strong.

The body is widened, four people can sit in the car, the surroundings are soft, like being wrapped in cotton, sleeping is not a problem, and there is no sound.

Zhu Di said: "Brother, the ones used by the soldiers to pull grain and grass are not as comfortable as they are, but they are stronger."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival left the barracks, Zhu Biao's words were implemented by the soldiers, and blacksmiths and carpenters were found to replace the wheels with iron ones.

"Everyone in the camp praises you, and Miss Xu Jiaer also said that she would discuss with you if she had the opportunity."

Zhu Biao knew that the second lady of the Xu family that Zhu Di said was called Xu Miaowei, and that Xu Miaoyun was Xu Da's eldest daughter, the empress Xu in history.

Zhu Di told Zhu Biao that Lao Zhu had agreed that he would follow Xu Da and accompany the army in the Northern Expedition, and this time he came to say goodbye.

……

……

After recruiting Fang Guozhen, Lao Zhu officially began planning the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty, and personally discussed with Xu Da and the others about the deployment of the "War to Exterminate the Yuan Dynasty."

In October, when the autumn wind was blowing cool, Lao Zhu ordered Xu Da to be the general, Chang Yuchun to be his deputy, and Lan Yu to lead the army in the Northern Expedition.

Since ancient times, the terrain has been higher in the north and lower in the south. In the past dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, many of them took the north first and then unified the south.

Today, Zhu Biao stood on the city wall with Lao Zhu, encouraging the army to go north.

The result will definitely win, Zhu Biao is a little excited, this is not a matter of not seeing the world, but the emotion and emotion in his heart.

Lao Zhu took Zhu Biao to boost the morale of the army in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. He became famous for the division and inspired the soldiers. He decided to announce the Northern Expedition.

The October sun shines on the land of Nanjing, the Zijin Mountain and the north and south of the river.

The eyes of the soldiers were radiant, and the swords had been sharpened. More than a dozen large flags were slowly unfurled against the wind, rattling, and the swords and armor gathered together, shining dazzling white light in the sun.

Zhu Biao feels like a huge mirror with a black curtain, invincible.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The war drums sounded, the horns sounded, and the army of the Northern Expedition was uniform, waiting for Lao Zhu to announce the Northern Expedition.

"Brothers, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, am here today to order my eldest son, Zhu Biao, to announce the Northern Expedition."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father can't do that."

"Biao'er, when we say make it, it means make it, read it."

Liu Bowen next to him said: "Your Majesty, please listen to your superiors and read out the Northern Expedition for the army."

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu asked himself to read the Northern Expedition Manifesto. Liu Bowen and everyone agreed, and Zhu Biao didn't shirk it.

Standing on the city wall, overlooking the army, read aloud:

"From ancient times to the present, only emperors occupy the Central Plains to rule small countries and small clans, and no small clans occupy the Central Plains to rule the Han family.

Since the fall of the Song Dynasty, the law of heaven has reincarnated, and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty occupied the Central Plains and unified the world.

At that time, the emperor of the Yuan court was wise, and the courtiers of the Yuan court were virtuous, enough to maintain the order of the court and the world.

But even so, many people with lofty ideals still have hats and shoes in the wrong position.

Neither the Emperor Yuan nor his courtiers obeyed the legacy of their ancestors, which violated the code of ethics.

The emperor abolished the elders and established the younger ones.The courtiers killed the emperor, the younger brother poisoned the elder brother, robbed the elder brother's wife, and the son took the father's concubine.

The monarch is the suzerain of the people in the world, the court is the foundation of the world, etiquette is the foundation of governing the country, the king is not the king, the ministers are not the ministers..."

The content was so long that Zhu Biao felt his mouth dry and his blood boiling after reading it.

There are even a few words that remain deeply in Zhu Biao's heart: get rid of Hu Yuan, restore the Han family, and may the mountains, rivers, sun and moon shine on us Han men forever. "

The army gathered, and four tall horses were at the front, namely Lan Yu, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, and Zhu Di.

"The mountains and rivers will always protect the subjects of the Han family, and the sun and the moon will always shine on the Han family. May the people be safe and healthy wherever your horseshoes tread, and drive out the Tartars."

"Biao'er, read well, read well."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was like a bell, and he applauded vigorously, and all the officials shouted.

"The mountains and rivers protect the subjects of the Han family, the sun and the moon will always shine on the Han family, the king of Wu is mighty, and the son of the world is mighty!"

The sound of armor colliding and the shouts of the army are all intertwined.

Xu Da and Zhu Di took the lead in shouting, leading dozens, hundreds, thousands, and hundreds of thousands of Northern Expedition troops to shout in unison: "The mountains and rivers will be protected forever, and the sun and the moon will shine forever."

Old Zhu had tears in his eyes.

"The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, once the Hu Yuan is broken, the world is safe! Soldiers, I, Zhu Biao, will wait for your triumphant return in the capital. Go, stand up for our Han family, and I will help you take good care of your family, wives and children. "

"Ugh-"

Trumpets sounded, drums of war thundered.

"Set off!"

Xu Da waved his hand, and Zhu Di held the huge military flag and headed north in a mighty way.

On the city wall, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao stood side by side, all they could see was the dark army of the imperial court.

The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always exist, and the Han family will always exist.

Wherever the army walked, yellow sand rose from the trampling of horseshoes, and Zhu Biao understood that this was the imprint left by hundreds of thousands of troops passing by.

Sending off the army, everyone couldn't hide their excitement.

Zhu Biao, Ma Shi, and Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan went back to the mansion first.

Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, and Song Lian said they would continue to discuss the founding of the country with Lao Zhu.

Have a meal.

The maid left immediately after serving four dishes and one soup, and Mrs. Li also came over to eat with Mrs. Ma today.

Meals are simple, stir-fried vegetables, tofu, vegetarian meatballs, and half a pot of wine.

"The army went north, and the fourth child also left?" Ma Shi asked Zhu Biao with the food.

"The fourth brother loves fighting and always clamors to fight Wang Baobao. This is also a training for him." Zhu Biao replied.

"Today I saw the girls from Xu Da's family and Chang's family, both of them look very beautiful. It seems that I like Miaowei, the second girl from Xu's family."

While eating, Mrs. Ma chatted with Mrs. Li, mentioning the daughters of each minister's family, Mrs. Li then commented.

Then Zhu Biao talked about the Northern Expedition, and chatted with Zhu Yu and the others.

Mrs. Li lowered her head to eat, and she didn't understand anything about the Northern Expedition, so she just listened to the big guys talking about it here.

The family eats very harmoniously.

In the front courtyard lobby of King Wu's Mansion, two lines of pro-army stood outside Lao Zhu's door, with expressionless faces, staring ahead.

With a writing brush on his ears and a robe pinned to his belt, Lao Zhu was bent over and concentrated on his official duties.

With the start of the Northern Expedition, he had one more thing to worry about.

The map on the table is the most detailed topographical map in the north. It is also helpful for them to check it carefully and make a good deployment strategy.
