Chapter 144: Leaving Beijing for the Second Time

Outside the Shuixi Gate, Li Jie was about to sail away, Zhu Yunxi and Liu Ying, Liu Yi and his son came to see each other, not many people knew that he had left Beijing, after all, the mission to the Wa Kingdom was confidential, so in addition to Zhu Yunxi and Liu Ying's father and son, Li Jie did not tell too many people the news of his departure from Beijing.

"Uncle, the drill of the Iron Book Army is very important, and the pure firearms army will definitely replace the current army in the future, so you can't leave everything to Brother Mu, you still have to worry about it!" Li Jie finally took Liu Ying's hand and told him again, if he didn't have to go, I'm afraid he would stay in the Iron Book Army to help Mu Sheng train together.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the Iron Book Army, but those noble sons were taken away by me, and they have started to make trouble recently, and my energy is all focused on dealing with these people!" Liu Ying said with a helpless wry smile at the end.

The Iron Book Army was originally formed by Xungui's children with the slave soldiers at home, before he transferred the slave soldiers in the hands of Xungui's children in order to let Mu Sheng train the army, although these Xungui children were not successful, but they were also unwilling to hand over the people they brought to others, so they also started to find Liu Ying to make trouble recently, so Liu Ying was also very headache.

"This is easy to do, don't they want slave soldiers, then let them practice with their slave soldiers, and see who can endure this hardship!" Li Jie sneered.

"That's right!" Liu Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he said with some worry, "But what if they really follow the slave soldiers with an iron heart?" ”

"That's even better, if some of them are really willing to work hard, I have to admire them, then uncle, you have to train them well, if these people really grow up, with their family background, it will be easier to get ahead than ordinary generals in the future!" Li Jie laughed again.

The reason why the slave soldiers in the hands of Xungui's children were transferred away at the beginning was mainly because these people were not successful, and they were not willing to suffer with Mu Sheng at all, and they did not necessarily have to take away their military power, so if they were willing to practice together, it would save a lot of trouble.

"Good! That's it! Liu Ying nodded immediately, and after speaking, he suddenly looked at his son Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was furious by his father's gaze, after all, he was a father and son, he still knew his father very well, and immediately said with a bitter face: "Dad, I am your own son!" ”

"What's wrong with my son? You haven't suffered anything with me since you were a child, this is not a good thing, now you have this opportunity, you are my son again, of course you have to set an example, in two days you will go to Mu Sheng's subordinates to report, let those noble children see, even Lao Tzu's son, see how they still make trouble! Liu Ying's eyes widened.

"Cousin!" Liu Yi saw that his father's road was impassable, so he immediately asked Li Jie for help.

"Cousin, if the Iron Book Army is trained, my uncle will be the first meritorious, and maybe he will be able to go down in history because of this, so I can only work hard for you!" Li Jie grabbed Liu Yi's hands and said, he was not joking, the world's first pure firearms unit, if this is really practiced, Liu Ying, as a commander, can definitely go down in history.

"I ......" Liu Yi was speechless, the two closest people sold him, and he couldn't think about it now.

At this time, Li Jie set his eyes on Zhu Yunxi again, so he stepped in front of him and said: "Your Highness, the Iron Book Army will definitely be able to become a model in the army in the future, if you have time, you can also go to the Iron Book Army to take a turn, if you have any questions, you can ask Uncle and Mu Sheng for advice!" ”

"Even if you don't say I'm going to go, my cousin hasn't complained to me a lot recently, and he's clamoring for me to go to the Iron Book Army to be his backer!" Zhu Yunxi immediately smiled.

Zhu Yunxi was originally very interested in firearms, when he left the palace for the first time, it was Zhu Biao who took him and Zhu Yunwen to watch Mu Sheng's firearms drills, if it wasn't allowed in the palace, he really wanted to bring a musket back to the palace to play.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi, who was already almost as tall as himself, Li Jie also felt a little emotional, and immediately patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your Highness, you have really grown up, now you don't have to think about anything, focus on studying, only you are strong, and other things are not a problem!" ”

"I know!" Zhu Yunxi also nodded heavily when he heard this, "Li Banyu, you should also take care of yourself on the road, my sister is still waiting for you to come back and marry her in the capital!" ”

"Don't worry, I've finished the matter over there, and I'll be back soon, say hello to your sister for me!" After Li Jie finished speaking, he greeted Liu Ying and his son, and then stepped onto the bow of the boat.

The accompanying guards gave an order, and the boat immediately departed, Li Jie stood at the bow of the boat and waved goodbye to Liu Ying and the three, and the three of them also stood on the dock for a long time and were reluctant to leave, until Li Jie's boat turned a corner, and the three of them disappeared from Li Jie's sight.

Looking at Jinling City, which was gradually moving away, Li Jie's mood was also quite complicated, this was the second time he left Beijing, the last time he left Beijing, the future of their family was uncertain, and even he didn't know if Lao Zhu's butcher's knife would fall on him?

In contrast, leaving Beijing Li Festival this time was much easier, originally according to his original plan, after relieving the pressure of life and death, he should find a way to leave the court and do something he liked, but at this time he realized that he was still too naΓ―ve, even if he wanted to leave now, I am afraid Lao Zhu would not agree.

As the saying goes, "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves", what makes people even more desperate is that as long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so Li Jie has nowhere to escape if he wants to.

Of course, Li Jie can also choose to go to sea by boat, find an uninhabited island to be a savage, or find a way to go to other continents for a turn, but with the situation in this period, Daming is definitely the most prosperous civilization in the world, and Europe is just beginning, so it is better to stay here in Daming wherever you go, as for doing Robinson to open up the wasteland, Li Jie is not half interested.

Thinking of the above, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh, but fortunately, Lao Zhu is old, full of calculations, and it is estimated that he only has seven or eight years of life left, so as long as he can survive until Lao Zhu dies, he may be able to get rid of his current hard life.

But then Li Jie thought that before Lao Zhu died, he had to change the fate of Zhu Biao's early death, otherwise if Zhu Yunwen was really allowed to come to power, he would definitely not have good fruit to eat, even if he found an opportunity to join Zhu Di and help Zhu Di succeed in winning the throne, but Zhu Di was also not a good person to get along with, which Zhu Di was almost exactly the same as Lao Zhu.

"It's still my father-in-law who gets along well!" Thinking of Zhu Di in history, Li Jie couldn't help but whisper to himself, Lao Zhu can teach Zhu Biao such a generous son, which can be regarded as an outlier.

According to historical records, Zhu Biao fell ill when he inspected Shaanxi two years later, and it is said that it was to prepare for the relocation of the capital, if Zhu Biao did not die, Lao Zhu would definitely move the capital to the north, so that he could also monitor Zhu Di and these northern vassal kings with heavy troops nearby, and strengthen the Ming Dynasty's control over the military.

"There are still two years, but how can I change the fate of my father-in-law? Even if he is prevented from going to Shaanxi, what if he still gets sick? Li Jie whispered again, his brows slowly furrowed.

"That's right! Gotta get him to lose weight! Li Jie suddenly slapped the ship's sidewalk, instead of trying to change Zhu Biao's itinerary, it was better to directly change Zhu Biao's own itinerary.

To tell the truth, even by the standards of later generations, Zhu Biao is too obese, not to mention that fat people are rarely seen in this era of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Biao, a big fat man, is very conspicuous wherever he goes, and he is not taboo, he ate most of the braised pork made by Li Jie last time.

As soon as a person is fat, all kinds of diseases come, the most typical is the three highs, which is a basic disease, which may not be fatal in itself, but it will bring various problems to the body, which will cause other diseases, such as cerebral thrombosis.

Li Jie had a cousin in his previous life, who had a sudden cerebral thrombosis in his thirties, and although he survived, he became a vegetative person, and in this era, he couldn't even rescue him, as long as he got sick, he would almost definitely die.

"Lose weight, you have to lose weight!" Li Jie immediately made a decision that when he came back from the Wa Kingdom, he must put Zhu Biao's weight loss on the agenda, of course, Zhu Biao would definitely not listen to his words, but if Lao Zhu spoke, then Zhu Biao would have to listen if he didn't listen.

Thinking of Zhu Biao, Li Jie also quickly thought of Zhu Yuning, for his future wife, Li Jie is still very satisfied, but Zhu Yuning's intelligence also gives him a lot of pressure, it is a good thing to have a smart wife, but if his wife is too smart, it may not be for her husband, not to mention anything else, just the crushing of IQ is a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, Li Jie is a later generation, and there is no discrimination against women, if another person marries Zhu Yuning, I'm afraid it's hard to say, after all, this is an era of male supremacy, if a woman is too smart and too strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to be tolerated by her husband, and her marriage may also be a tragedy.

Thinking of this, Li Jie also felt sorry for Zhu Yuning, if she was born in the next life, she would definitely be an excellent strong woman, but unfortunately in this era, no matter how smart she is, she can only stay behind the man, but this is also a good thing for Li Jie, because he will have a strong behind-the-scenes helper, so he will not fight alone.

In the end, Li Jie thought of Zhu Yunxi, in just a few months, Zhu Yunxi has completely changed as a person, becoming more bold and confident, and is also willing to learn a lot of new things, which is also Li Jie's most satisfied with him, and now Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have a great impression of Zhu Yunxi.

In contrast, Zhu Yunwen followed Huang Zicheng and went further and further on the wrong path, I believe that as time goes by, the gap between him and Zhu Yunxi will become bigger and bigger, and whether it is Lao Zhu or Zhu Biao in the future, they will definitely make a more correct choice.
