Chapter 115: Commanders

The proud and dry Zhu Yunwen got drunk on the night of the martial arts competition, which directly caused the Shangyuan Festival to sleep until noon the next day.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Shuangxi, who was guarding the dragon couch, hurriedly walked over with a bowl of warm tea.

"What time is it?"

Zhu Yunwen drank it all in one gulp, patted his forehead, and felt dizzy for a while, the wine in the Ming Dynasty was not strong, and he couldn't stop drinking it, and now he has a splitting headache.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon."

It's almost twelve o'clock?

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback, this was the first time he had slept at this point in the past few years.

How can you drink so much yourself?

Zhu Yunwen found that he seemed to be broken, and he forgot about last night's events, this feeling Zhu Yunwen disliked the most, whether in his previous life or in this life, he was used to the control of everything in his heart.

This kind of thing is still something that only appeared when I was young when I was in college, drinking and losing my memory, which is a blank area beyond my control, which is a big taboo for both a secretary and an emperor.

Because drunkenness often loses words, and if you lose your words and forget what to say, you will make yourself invisibly very passive.

"What did I say at the banquet yesterday?"

Shuangxi hurriedly took a booklet and handed it to Zhu Yunwen.

In ancient times, there was no surveillance, but the emperor had a few small eunuchs guarding them, who were responsible for remembering the emperor's daily notes. The emperor's words and deeds, what he likes and dislikes, and who he gets into the bed with when and when he is on it.

At the moment, Qi Wang Yu toasted and said that the Shandong canal was opened.

The emperor replied: 'Shandong has relied on Uncle Wang's support, and I am relieved'.

At the second moment, the emperor and the king of Yan said: 'The blood relatives of the clan should be one and the same, and the uncle has many good words, so as not to make the vassals misunderstand and me.' ’

......”

After reading the whole article, Zhu Yunwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that although he drank too much, there is nothing to lose his words, that's good, you must pay attention in the future, you must not drink so much.

As soon as I put my mind at ease here, I suddenly remembered something over there.

Today, it's Shangyuan Festival!

Set up a hundred official banquets, the old people's banquet and the palace, watch the lights after the banquet, it is a large-scale political show, give a banquet to a hundred officials, reflect the intimacy and trust of the emperor and the scholar class, give the banquet for the elderly, is in line with the ancient precept of the saint to respect the elderly, reflect the emperor's love for the people, this is also a major event, can not be forgotten.

"Inside and outside the palace, the queen has already sent people to arrange everything."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen in a hurry to get out of bed, Shuangxi guessed in his heart what Zhu Yunwen was anxious about, and hurriedly put on a thick coat for Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Majesty beware of catching a cold. Tonight, enjoy the lanterns, the Beijing officials' homes are still in the high hall, will enter the palace, the queen has sent a decree to the Shang Diet Bureau, the list of banquets, the specifications of the banquet have been determined, Your Majesty do not worry. ”

Shangyuan view lanterns, the emperor will generally invite ministers and their parents to enter the palace, give the elderly a banquet, Taizu period Shangyuan Festival will invite the elderly from all over the country to enter the palace, but later found that the journey is tiring, it is not very convenient to come and go, plus the sky is cold before and after the Shangyuan Dynasty, if the road is infected with wind cold, occasionally there is a life whine, to the banquet becomes to go to the ghost gate.

The large-scale banquet for the elderly was renamed only to greet the elderly in Beijing.

The elderly, the ancient sages wrote about their 60 lives.

But what year is the Book of Rites? It has been more than 2,000 years since the Ming Dynasty, and the life expectancy of people in that era is not at the same level as the Ming Dynasty, although it is said that sixty years old in the Ming Dynasty is also considered a high lifespan, but it has not yet reached the point of '100 households, the old and the young', plus the large population base of the Ming Dynasty, more than one million people in Nanjing, how to make up 18,000 old people.

There is no way, the scale can only be controlled again, so the crowd of people going to the banquet will be changed to the parents of Jingguan over 60 years old, so that there will be more than a dozen tables of the annual banquet for the elderly, and hundreds of people can be completely greeted.

"It's a loss to the Queen."

Hearing that Ma Enhui had arranged everything, Zhu Yunwen relaxed and lay back on the couch again, the hangover was really uncomfortable, and if he didn't stop for a while, he was afraid that he would die suddenly.

"Your Majesty would like to eat?"

"I can't eat it, forget it."

Knowing that these trivial matters had been arranged, Zhu Yunwen relaxed in his heart, and his mind turned to other places.

"Summoning Xu Zengshou into the palace."

Xu Zengshou, Xu Huizu's younger brother, the second son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

Before Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Xu Huizu was the governor of the Central Military Mansion, and Xu Zengshou was the governor of the Right Military Mansion, and the brothers controlled almost half of the military power of the Ming Dynasty, which shows the weight of the Xu family in the eyes of Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Yunwen leathered the Fifth Military Mansion, and Xu Zengshou changed the Fujian and Zhejiang Naval Division, which was regarded as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy.

I still can't be idle.

In this era, there are no audio and video screens, no telephones, many things are explained, the local office is not done, and the emperor is really difficult to grasp tightly, plus Zhu Yunwen always wants to become a fat man in one bite, many things that have been explained, Zhu Yunwen will write them down, and he will ask them almost every few days.

In terms of diligence, Zhu Yunwen is by no means inferior to Emperor Taizu, he just doesn't like to go to court every day, it's all a fake and empty thing, once a month is just right, if there is anything to deal with and implement, basically two or three hours will pass after the explanation, and the hungry officials with their chests and backs will have no strength to talk nonsense.

Xu Zengshou was also full of alcohol when he entered the palace, it can be seen that he drank a lot last night, but the state of the whole person is much better than Zhu Yunwen, to be precise, this group of martial artists in the Five Military Mansions is basically left to drink every day, otherwise there is nothing to do.

Since Zhu Di entered Nanjing, the matter of the war was discussed between the emperor and Zhu Di, and the sense of existence of their five military mansions was too weak, if it weren't for the nationwide crackdown on bandits some time ago, Xu Zengshou would have almost forgotten that he was still a first-class military attache of the Ming Dynasty.

"Minister Xu Zengshou, see my emperor's holy bow."

Xu Zengshou entered the warm pavilion, and when he saw Zhu Yunwen leaning on the bed, he felt amused in his heart.

It is said that the emperor has the legacy of Taizu, but the drinking part is far behind. Drinking with Wu Xun? The big guy can give you a drink with half of his mouth covered!

"Does I look funny?"

Zhu Yunwen glanced at him and snorted coldly.

Frightened, Xu Zengshou hurriedly became solemn, lowered his head and became a lot more honest.

"Please ask Your Majesty's edict to summon the ministers to face the saints."

"Two days ago, I drafted a military order with King Yan on the conquest of Taiwanese thieves, and the Fifth Military Government has selected any candidates."

Xu Zengshou immediately replied: "With the Marquis of Yongcheng, Xue Ke, the governor of the Eastern Army, will lead the expedition." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded: "I know him, the son of Xue Xian, the former Marquis of Yongcheng, right?" ”

Xue Xian, a fierce general in the defense of Hongdu, followed Emperor Taizu's expedition to Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and then followed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun Northern Expedition.

"It is said that Jiangmen Huzi, Xue Ke, how capable can he be with his father? You are the right governor of the Eastern Military Governor's Mansion, Hanshan Hou is not in Beijing, and you are acting for the entire Eastern Military Mansion, do you understand? ”

"Xue Ke replied, 'Naval warfare is different from water warfare, the sea is vast, and the lucky ship can be fully displayed, and there is no need to rely on the art of war, because the big ship bullies the small boat, and the cannon bullies the bow and crossbow'."

The warship of the Min and Zhejiang Naval Division, the largest is the warship built by the Fujian Shipyard, which began in the Southern Song Dynasty and was completed in Kublai Khan's two expeditions to Japan. ”

One word: big! Two words: spacious!

The Fu ship is a sharp weapon of naval warfare, which can be equipped with six to ten jack cannons, supplemented by dozens of rocket crossbows, which is simply the original version of the era of giant ships and cannons, whether it is naval warfare or land warfare, it can be called the strongest naval warship on the earth in this era.

With the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, there are only 100 ships of fortune, and more warships are still small warships launched from Longjiang Shipyard.

In the water battle of Poyang Lake, Taizu relied on a small boat to destroy Chen Youliang's big boat, because the big ship suffered a loss in size, and could not move and change direction, and was burned to the ground after being close to the fire, Chen Youliang was also crushed, fled in panic, and was killed by Zhu Wenzheng's family Zhu Jun with an arrow, and the 600,000 army fell by more than half, and Taizu's soldiers swallowed all of Chen Youliang's main forces and warships without blood.

But the sea is different, although the lucky boat is big, out of the Yangtze River, it is just a small boat on the vast sea, how to play and how to play.

"Well, since there is no problem, then let Xue Ke lead the levy."

Zhu Yunwen named two more names: "Meng Jiong, the second son of Uncle Chu Wang, let him study with the army, and in addition, go to Yanwang's Mansion, the general manager of the Fourth Uncle's Mansion is a talent." ”

"What did Your Majesty say, Ma Sanbao?"

Xu Zengshou twitched: "That's a eunuch, how can there be a eunuch, the eunuch leads the army to fight." ”

With a word of eunuch, Xu Zengshou immediately felt that Shuangxi's eyes were starting to be unkind, and even Zhu Yunwen seemed to be a little unhappy, so frightened that he immediately changed his words.

The prime minister's door is a seven-rank official, Shuangxi is the emperor's confidant, and even the cabinet has to shout Sun Gonggong when he sees it, he calls the eunuch in front of Sun Shuangxi, not what he owes.

"Don't underestimate him, he followed the fourth uncle to learn military strategy, sometimes the fourth uncle is busy with the military affairs of the General Staff, and on the side of the martial arts hall, it is this Sanbao eunuch who teaches military strategy, go, just say that this is what I mean, let the fourth uncle cut his love, and by the way, tell Ma Sanbao, and when Taiwan recovers this time, I will give him a serious name."

"Yes, the minister retired."

Xu Zengshou hurriedly bowed and retreated, and before leaving, he didn't forget to sneak a peek at Double Happiness, but the latter's face was already unwavering, and he couldn't see the slightest clue.
