3. Return to Jinling

"You want to have a happy event?"

"No.... Nope! ”

"Why don't you have the whole city full of red colors?"

"This ......... Isn't this the fifth brother, you are the king? I want to be lively and lively, and make some pomp and circumstance! ”

"Pomp? It's only been a few days of food, so you're paying attention to it? Can pomp be eaten as a meal, or can it be used as a silver flower? This is not pomp, this is extravagance! How much does it cost to hang so many lanterns and colored cloth all over the city? How much meat is enough for our brothers in the camp? ”

"Fifth brother, don't be angry, you didn't spend any money!"

"You're blackmailing merchants?"

"How dare I? The colorful cloths hanging all over the city are all wrapped by the Xie family, what does the head of the Xie family say, and the whole world celebrates. ”

When Zhu Wuyi returned to Jinling, the first thing he did was to find the second tiger. In order to make his rear as stable as Mount Tai, the two tigers stayed behind for Jinling to pacify.

Let him take a good look at his home, but he didn't expect that when he returned to Jinling, the city was full of lanterns and colored cloths, jubilant and extravagant.

Zhu Wu was suddenly out of breath, and on the way back to his house, he slipped the two tigers and started training with horizontal eyebrows.

The horse's hooves clattered on the stone slab, Zhu Wu and Erhu were at the forefront, and the soldiers behind them looked at General Erhu, drooping their heads, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

"When did you hook up with the Xie family?" Zhu Wu wondered, "Besides, his family said to hang, you just hang?" ”

Erhu said aggrievedly, "Xie family, isn't it your future father-in-law's family, fifth brother?" I don't think I'm an outsider, people are kind! ”

Smack, Zhu Wuyi slapped his head. The good things that Xi Laodao did are known all over the world.

"Call someone later, tear these red cloth colored cloths, and send them back to him!" Zhu Wu sighed and said gently, "Erhu, we have to remember, what kind of background are we, we can't fix these flashy things!" ”

"Huh!" Erhu agreed, looked at the back, and whispered, "Fifth brother, the brothers are upset!" ”

Zhu Wu smiled, pulled down the reins, let the horse slow down, and said, "Didn't catch the battle?" No credit! ”

Erhu smiled, "I can't hide anything from you!" ”

Mountainism can never be banned, and it can never disappear, and as the lord of Dingyuan, Zhu Wu does not want to see that the civil and military generals below are ironclad.

From Dingyuan, Haozhou, he followed his brothers as a faction, born in poverty, and followed Zhu Wuyi all the way out of the pile of dead people.

The generals who defected to the Dingyuan Army after Hezhou were another faction, such as Fu Youde often met them in spring, they did not report to the group, and Erhu and other old qualifications gave them face.

There is no first, there is no second, to put it bluntly, everyone is a martial artist, and no one obeys anyone.

This time, he took off and captured Yangzhou Gaoyou, and even fought Changshu and Suzhou later. They are all backward people who show their faces, and among the old brothers, except for Guo Xiaosi, they are the leaders of the first level, and they have no credit.

That's why it's not funny, and with Zhu Wu as the king, people's hearts will come alive.

In general, this is a good thing, everyone wants to make meritorious contributions, and they all want to be reused.

"What's the hurry, there is a fight!" Zhu Wu pulled the reins again, turned his head and spoke, "No, Erhu, can you get closer to me, what's the matter with your horse, you haven't eaten?" ”

Erhu scratched his head and smiled, and said, "Fifth brother, people have said that you are now the king of Han, we can't drink you and ride side by side, we have to be half a step behind!" ”

"Who the said that? Hungry? Zhu Wu scolded, "What the are so many stinky rules?" Come here, you're so far away from me, I still have to stretch my neck to talk to you, our own brothers, what are you doing with all this uselessness? ”

Erhu stepped forward with a grin.

Zhu Wu put his ear to him and said, "Now Chang Yuchun Fu Youde takes 80,000 people, passes through Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Guo Xiaosi sits in Suzhou to be in charge of logistics, this is just one way." After taking Hangzhou, you Erhu and Guo Xiaosan, with 100,000 people and Liao Yongan's army, set off from Anqing. ”

"Where?" The eyes of the two tigers lit up.

"Jiangxi!" Zhu Wu whispered, "Hongdu, Ji'an, Fuzhou and these places will call me down." Then your side and Chang Yuchun's side worked hard to sweep away the entire south! ”

"I understand!" The second tiger grinned.

Zhu Wu stretched out his hand to him and said with a smile, "There is no big war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Yuan army is scared, and you are all tough battles when you fight Jiangxi." It's so big, don't embarrass me! ”

"Don't worry, brother!" The second tiger patted his chest.

Originally, according to the meaning of most of the military generals under his command, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was already too large, and it took more time to digest it. The Dingyuan Army should now focus on internal affairs and control Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

But Zhu Wu and Xi Yingzhen thought of a piece this time, Anqing Guo Xiaosan's side, the Yuan army did not fight, which means that Xu Shouhui's side of the Yuan army really can't get out.

In this case, it is better to occupy the strategic place behind Dingyuan along the Yangtze River, just in case.

On the other hand, it is for the sake of soldiers.

The youth and strength of Huaixi are not endless, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is too rich, the common people can eat without hunger, and their lives are steady, who is willing to join the army.

In the final analysis, now is not the time to destroy the country and destroy the species, except for some mountain people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and those salt dings, there are not many people who want to fight.

Jiangxi is different, Jiangxi people are strong, Jiangxi people are hard-working and obedient. A little rectification is a strong army.

Moreover, just take care of the food, and there is no need for military salaries.

Thinking of military salaries, Zhu Wu had a headache. Everything is good and bad, and when the army was paid, the whole army was united, but now the army is getting bigger and bigger, and the daily money is like running water, and the finances are really a little unbearable.

In this way, the two chatted while walking, and after a while, the Jinling Governor's Mansion arrived.

"This is Lao Tzu's house?" Zhu Wu's eyelids jumped, and the original governor's mansion was a side courtyard of the Jinling Yamen.

Now, the governor's mansion has red walls and yellow tiles, looking magnificent.

"I, seeing that the place where the fifth brother lives is not grand enough, you are the king, why can't you live better than the rich man!" Seeing that Zhu Wu stretched out his hand to fight, Erhu hurriedly said, "Brother, I spend my own money!" ”

As he spoke, he smiled cautiously, "I didn't spend any money you gave, not only me, but many old brothers in the army have paid for it!" ”

"Tell me how many times someone has come out!" The brothers were all kind, Zhu Wu couldn't help it, and pointed at Erhu, "I have to find you a mother-in-law, I have to take care of you!" ”

At that moment, the anxious cry of the servant woman came from inside the gate.

"Miss, run slowly, don't fall!"

"Five fruits!" A crisp voice sounded at the door, and Zhu Wu's face was suddenly full of smiles.

In the sun, the little girl flew out of the door like a butterfly and opened her arms.

"Girl!"

Zhu Wu jumped off the horse and squatted on the ground.

"Ouch!"

The girl is already a little girl, and she is a little fat, and she has a bear hug that almost knocked Zhu Wu down.

"Wuguo, as soon as you leave, it's been half a year, why don't you even come to a letter!" Xiu'er laughed and cried, "I thought you could write a letter?" I learn to read and write at home every day? ”

Zhu Wu took her hand and walked towards the door, "Then how many words do you recognize?" ”

"I can write my own name, and I will write your name!" The girl jumped up, "Brother Erhu, Brother Guo, Brother Guo's name, I know!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head, "Fruit, I can still write my father's name!" Hurry up tomorrow, let's go back to Haozhou, put it on my father's grave, and set up a monument! ”

"Medium!" Zhu Wu's heart was sour, and he smiled, "Let's go together." ”

The girl smiled, and Zhu Wu also smiled.

When I turned around, I saw that the second tiger was still outside the door.

Zhu Wu scolded angrily, "What are you doing there?" Come in and eat! ”

"Okay!" The second tiger jumped off the horse.

Then, many familiar faces behind him followed him in with a smile.

These are all Zhu Wu's old brothers, who have followed him from Haozhou all the way to today's brothers.

Under the sun, everyone is smiling.
