If Brother Zishan doesn't come back, Gu Zizhong will do a good job of teaching his son at home.

Qing'er is also getting older, and she is ten years old.

The second son is also five years old.

Qing'er can draw a bow and shoot arrows, can ride a horse and dismount, can hold a weapon, and can fight alone.

To put it bluntly, this product is an all-rounder in martial arts.

Gu Zizhong was happy, happy in her heart, she really wanted to see Qing'er be able to lead the soldiers and horses in the future.

Even if it's just a local soldier.

Although it is said that the person surnamed Zhu is very unhappy in terms of military power, and many times it is ambiguous.

But this time, the Jinling Zhu family has already made a name for itself in the imperial court, and it can be regarded as a lesson to those who chew the root of their tongues all day long.

No one in the court said anything about Zhu Changxi.

Chongzhen is also very happy, because after all, his own brother has soldiers and horses, and the military power is in the hands of his own people surnamed Zhu, which is better than sending it to others, right?

Daming had internal and external troubles, and all of them came at once, and Emperor Chongzhen really couldn't deal with it.

Therefore, Chongzhen believes in his surname Zhu more and more.

No matter how the person surnamed Zhu is, he is also his own person.

In case there is a general with a different surname or something, and then suddenly rebels or rebels, and supports the army to respect himself, it will be too big a blow to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen has Zu Dashou, Yuan Chonghuan, Wu Sangui and other strong generals, but they still can't sit back and relax.

The Jiangnan soldiers led by Zhu Changxi can deal with the present at most, but what about the future?

There are a number of soldiers and horses in the imperial court.

Chongzhen was pondering how to use the existing forces in his hands to defend the entire Ming Dynasty's border defense, and it was best to prevent Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

After this Li Zicheng changed from a general to a king, the whole person became more and more proud.

To put it bluntly, it is to take off and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Li Zicheng escaped death, so this time he gathered hundreds of thousands of people again, but he was much more cautious.

The last time the rebels attacked Jinling, they suffered a loss.

I really didn't expect that there was a capable person named "Zhu Changxi" in the imperial court.

The rebels learned to be obedient and began to be turtles with shrunken heads, hiding in the northwest and not coming out.

The border defense of the Ming Dynasty has always been a problem, a very serious problem.

The long-term blockade of customs made Daming hardly talk to people outside.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhu family in Jinling had nothing to do with the Silk Road and did some trade business with the people of the Western Regions, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would have been completely isolated from the outside world.

Zhu Changxi also entered a lot of firearms and Western muskets.

China invented gunpowder, and used gunpowder to make cannonballs at this time, instead of playing with it during the New Year, which played a great role in the border defense of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changxi was very proud, he had a heavy weapon in his hand, and ordinary enemies did not dare to touch it easily.

It may have been the rule that men fight outside the home, and women take care of their children at home.

But when this rule came to Gu Zizhong, it changed its taste.

Prince Zhu of Zhenguo also seems to want to restore the courage of the year.

And Chongzhen also immediately gave him an order and sent him to guard Xi'an.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the northwest are a headache, and at this time, there can be another helper, Chongzhen is happy to die.

Gu Zizhong was unhappy again.

After the father-in-law also took the armor to Xi'an, Gu Zizhong was the only one in the Zhu family in Jinling.

She has to receive guests again, like some ordinary interpersonal interactions, and she has to deal with them.

Even when the protégé's wife gave birth to a child, Gu Zizhong did not forget to give a courtesy.

People can not arrive, and the ceremony must be delivered.

Gu Zizhong was busy for two more days.

The Jinling barracks were almost empty, and there were no soldiers guarding the door.

The security of Jinling City has also deteriorated.

The commander of the capital also came to Zhu's house a few times, saying that there were no soldiers in the barracks in Jinling City, and the thieves were rampant again.

Gu Zizhong had no choice but to pull out ten people from the family, all of whom had been in the barracks before.

Now these ten people are going to follow the commanders and envoys, train some defenders, and tidy up the streets, take care of the people, and prevent some illegal incidents from happening.

There are few members in the Zhu family, and now there are ten left, so the safety of the Zhu Mansion has become a problem again.

On this night, thieves came to the Zhu family.

The thieves were probably hungry for several days and couldn't eat.

Outlaws, perhaps.

Otherwise, how could he run to Zhu's house to steal?

The Zhu family's family saw it and fought directly with the thieves.

The thieves tried to play two tricks, but they were killed by the family.

Although the Jinling Zhu family did not suffer any losses, this incident sounded a wake-up call for Gu Zizhong.

Gu Zizhong began to worry and be afraid.

It's okay if there is a robbery, but what if it is a robbery?

What if it's a life-threatening disaster?

Gu Zi thought about a way to recruit some more people to come in and strengthen his vigilance.

At this time, no one else came, but her own brother.

Gu Zizhong didn't want to see him.

Gu Shizi forcibly wanted to see her, not for anything else, how did his own sister eat and live in the man's house, all of this should be considered carefully, right?

Gu Shizi still has a genuine affection for his sister.

He said bluntly: "I knew that you must be very uncomfortable alone, so I brought some people, they are all kung fu practitioners, and they can protect your safety." ”

Anyway, he is also his own brother, so Gu Zizhong is also quite moved.

But his brother suddenly cast a cold arrow on the Zhu family in Jinling, which made the people of the Zhu family very uncomfortable.

Gu Zizhong has not forgotten this matter now.

She ostensibly refused.

Gu Shizi said: "Zizhong, I have no objection to you continuing to follow Zhu Changxi." After all, a husband for one day is a husband for life. So I just want to care about you. ”

Gu Zizhong was cold and silent on the surface, but her heart had been completely moved.

She remembered how many times her brother had sheltered her from the elements.

Although that's all a young thing.

But it's still vivid.

Gu Zizhong's friendship with his brother is really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.

Gu Shizi didn't drag his feet, and after explaining the matter, he was ready to get up and leave.

Gu Zizhong stopped him.

Then he stopped.

Gu Zizhong still asked him with concern: "The last time I defended Jinling, I heard that you were injured, are you injured now?"

Gu Shizi was silent for a moment, and finally turned around and shed tears at Gu Zizhong: "Good sister, my injury has long been healed." ”

Gu Zizhong and his brother can be regarded as having a resonance, and both of them cried bitterly with a "wow" at once.

Gu Shizi is indispensable to his own sister, and Gu Zizhong is also indispensable to his own brother.

Thinking of the events of that year, Gu Shizi's mood was complicated.

The two of them hugged each other again.
