Chapter 13 Self-proclaimed prince

Time is really the fairest existence, and it will not slow down because the child prays to grow up quickly, nor does it slow down because the old man prays to grow old slowly.

Xiao Zhu stayed up like this, I don't know how long, two months and three months? Or four months?

I don't know, I live in this square inch every day, and I haven't gone out since I was taken out to see it during the Spring Festival, and I don't have anything to pass the time.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very busy, and Ma has a lot of work every day, only Ruyi and the nurse guard him inch by inch.

The only interesting thing is to listen to the gossip of the back house, after all, with the expansion of power, there are more and more women of Comrade Zhu.

But in fact, it's not interesting to listen to it for a long time, after all, Ma's status is too detached, so detached that no one dares to come to the opponent.

During the Chinese New Year, there were two new young ladies, after all, they were newcomers and quite favored, but because they scolded Ma and said a few words, without waiting for Ma to say anything, the two poor scum were ordered to be killed by the angry Lao Zhu!

Even their father and brother were reprimanded, and within a few days they went to the front and never returned......

The backyard is nothing more than those unproductive mutual cynicism, and in short, no one dares to do anything selfish.

As for the pregnant Li family, no one dared to touch her under the care of the Ma family, and she was well raised, after all, she had to face the anger of the Ma family and Zhu Yuanzhang at the first time, and once it was discovered, the whole family would die.

In March of the 16th year of Zheng, Zhang Shicheng launched an offensive in the Yangtze River Delta and attacked the Yuan army in Jiangnan.

Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang personally commanded the land and water army and attacked Jiqing for the third time. On the third day, Chen Zhaoxian's army camp outside the city was breached, and 36,000 of his troops surrendered.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the army was suspicious and uncertain. So Zhu Yuanzhang selected 500 warriors from the surrendered army to be his own army and guard them at night, and by his side, only Feng Guoyong, the commander of the personal army, was left.

The next day, when the army learned about this, they were very moved, their doubts were all gone, and they were willing to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.

As a result, the war went very smoothly, and in less than ten days, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing. After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the city, he ordered to appease the people and change Jiqing to Yingtianfu.

After Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, was reported, Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted to the Privy Council, and soon he was promoted to Jiangnan and other places in the province of Pingzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up Tianxing to build the Generalissimo Mansion of Kangyi in Yingtian, with Liao Yongan as the marshal of the unified army, and Li Shanchang as the left and right Shilangzhong.

Chang Yuchun and Zhang Yuan were ordered to lead 10,000 elites to escort Lao Zhu's family into Yingtianfu!

Comrade Xiao Zhu didn't sleep this time, but he still didn't see his future father-in-law Chang Yuchun, and he was tightly wrapped and sent to the most central carriage.

The days when I arrived in Ying Tianfu were actually no different from those in Hezhou Taiping, they were all activities in one house.

After about two months, Zhu Yuanzhang strode in, Xiao Zhu was holding Ma's hand and walking crookedly, calling out a few times from time to time.

"Haha! My mark is really steady! Worthy of our son! Much stronger than Xu Datang and their family! ”

"Go, why don't you compare with the eldest son, those two little ones can't even climb!"

Xiao Zhu walked over with a sigh, lying on Lao Zhu's lap and raising his head to call Dad.

Comrade Lao Zhu's father this year was not called in vain, and Xiao Zhu said the most clearly is his father.

Watching Lao Zhu pick up his son and prick his face with stubble, Ma smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" Make my husband so happy! We haven't seen your smiling face in almost a month! ”

Lao Zhu waved his hand, and the people standing on the side retreated, and then said, "Hehe, isn't it a lot of things and annoying things recently, sister, let's tell you good news, the following has been prepared for the sealing ceremony!" ”

"In a few days, you will be the Duchess of the Kingdom, hahahaha, are you happy?"

Ma Shi also showed a smile on his face, but thought of something, "Happy is happy, but why is it so sudden, is the husband the prince of the country sealed by King Ming?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Han Lin'er himself is just a king, how dare he give us the title of duke, this is what I set up myself." ”

"And the people below can't wait, they haven't moved their positions for a long time."

Ma Shi persuaded, "Chongba, the people below are in a hurry to be promoted, you can't be in a hurry, you are still nominally a subordinate of King Ming now, so self-proclaimed as a public for no reason is equivalent to tearing your face directly with Han Lin'er, you have to think about it carefully!" ”

Zhu Biao quietly hugged Lao Zhu's neck and listened, it was his turn to interject about these things.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out a hand to hold his wife's hand, "Don't worry, we have already carefully considered it with Li Shanchang, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, and this marshal is different from being a prince of the country, and we will officially change from a martial artist to the master of a party!" ”

After hearing this, Ma Shi saw that his husband had made up his mind, so he did not continue to persuade him, and with a smile on his face, he ordered outside the door: "Ruyi, go and instruct the kitchen to cook a few more dishes that the handsome man is willing to eat, and take two jars of good wine!" ”

"Hehe, it's still a sister who loves us, have a few drinks with us today, this is a big joy for our family!"

"By the way, on the day of our father-in-law, we directly set up Biao'er as the prince, so that all three of our family will be promoted!"

Ma Shi walked over and pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down, stood behind him and rubbed his shoulder, "Forget it, the standard is still young, such a big blessing is not a good thing for a child, wait a few more years!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is right after thinking about it, let's talk about a prince of the country, we have to at least earn a throne for our son!

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang's civil and military ministers jointly signed a letter, "persuasion", advising him to be the king and hegemon, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little humble, and after Zhu Yuanzhang gave in a little, Comrade Lao Zhu in 1356 AD, his son Xiao Zhu's classmate Zhu Biao was less than a year old, and he himself was less than 29 years old, in today's Nanjing self-established as "Wu Guogong"!

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged Li Shanchang and other literati in place. Since it was mainly a wartime arrangement, this civilian government was also set up around the wartime military. The left and right senators are Li Shanchang and Li Siyan, and the other attendants are all military staff officers or doctors of literature. Together, they form Zhu Yuanzhang's think tank.

In the army, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the marshal's office of the five armies in the front and back, and in each army marshal's office, there were vanguard officers. After these marshals and vanguards attacked the city and plundered the land, some of them appointed the local town guards to remain the marshals or vanguards of the five armies.

He also set up the left and right Terracotta Division, responsible for monitoring the military generals of Wenchen, and also sent spies to explore intelligence throughout the country, drawing maps in order for him to smoothly sweep the world one day, and the left and right Terracotta Divisions are the prototype institutions of Jinyi Wei in the future.
