In the first year of the dragon and phoenix, outside Jiqing City (now Nanjing), tens of thousands of troops waved their flags, the huge army was like a black cloud pressing the city, with the shouting of several knights, thousands of soldiers pushed the siege equipment to the city approaching.

The soldiers on the city wall of Jiqing were numbly preparing arrows to roll the wood, and the big black pot next to them was boiling with a golden liquid, exuding a rich and pungent smell!

There are dead bodies everywhere in the city, and several huge pits have been dug to bury them, but the people in the city are panicked, and only dozens of emaciated people are moving the corpses.

In a military tent outside the city, more than a dozen generals were constantly arguing, and a few foul words broke out from time to time, and there were many small movements between pushing.

"If you want to fight, you can fight! Lay down Jiqing and occupy a treasure land, we can wait to advance or retreat, what is there to hesitate! ”

"Phew! What the do you know about herding cows! Jiqing is easy to fight, why don't you stay! What will the Ming King do then? ”

"Huh! I don't understand! You'll fucking get it! ”

"Enough! You guys know a lot of! Didn't you listen to what Mr. Li said? ”

Above sat a man in armor, with a heroic face, but he frowned tightly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Report! There are messengers! ”

The man above raised his head, and all the generals immediately shut up, and the big tent was quiet!

"Come in!"

Outside the door, two knife-wielding soldiers walked in with a man, who knelt directly to the general above to announce the good news.

"Tell the Lord! Great joy! Madame gave birth to a son at dawn the day before yesterday! Congratulations to the successor of the lord! ”

The man above was stunned for a moment, and then joy rose to his cheeks, and before he could say anything, the soldiers below were already smiling more happily than having a child!

"Hahaha! Congratulations! There is a successor! ”

It's a great event! It's even a big joy than the direct surrender of the city in Jiqing now!

Zhu Yuanzhang is twenty-seven years old this year! He has never had an heir, and this is also a major obstacle to what he has to do now! No one will follow a lord who has no descendants.

And now, he has a son!

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted their congratulations with a wave of his hand, and the generals didn't care, and turned their heads excitedly to talk to the people next to them again.

They didn't dare to look like the marshal was going to eat people just now, now, when the wine hidden in the evening has a reason to drink, the marshal will not be harsh on the big day, hahahaha!

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of his wife and hurriedly asked, "How is Madame!" ”

The servant hurriedly replied: "Madame is fine, mother and son are safe, and they are recuperating at Chen Di's house, it was Madame who asked me to hurry up and report!"

"Hahahahaha! Good! Good! Good! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, pressed the sword on his waist with one hand, and looked at the Jiqing city wall in the distance, as if there was a flame burning in his eyes.

"Herald! Withdrawal! ”

The generals below were stunned at first, and then they agreed in unison!

The generals scattered the big tent and began to arrange the withdrawal of the army, and the withdrawal of the army was not an easy task, if you didn't care about your head and let the family dig out your ass, it would become a joke!

After everyone walked out, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his face and said softly: "Son, son, our old Zhu finally has a bloodline continuation!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the tent and listened to the servants behind him, but he was proud and ambitious in his heart: "You came at the right time!" Look, your dad will lay a big country for you! ”

Take Jiqing, now is the time yet!

Guo Zixing had just passed away, and Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, appointed Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianxu as the marshal of the capital, and his brother-in-law Zhang Tianyou as the right deputy marshal, and he as the left deputy marshal.

Nominally, Marshal Du is the master of the army, and the status of the right deputy marshal is also higher than that of the left deputy marshal.

However, most of the armies in Chuzhou and Hezhou were recruited and incorporated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the generals and commanders in the army had already taken refuge.

Here he has the final say! But when I think of my ambitions, I still need to be patient......

Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to be subject to King Xiaoming, but considering the strong power of the Han and Song dynasties, he could use his power to order the army with the dragon and phoenix era.

In this way, even if he captures Jiqing at any cost, after all, it is nominally a subordinate army of King Xiao Ming, and if he does not hand it over when the time comes, it will be criticized.

"Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king!"

"Don't worry, since my son is born, I naturally have to go on steadily!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prison army sent by King Xiao Ming who was hurrying towards him, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

casually sent the prison army, it was originally covered by the tiger skin of Mingjiao (Manichaeism), and he didn't really believe in the nonsense of King Ming's birth, and Xiao Mingwang's prison army couldn't control him!

"Our Lao Zhu has also been mixed up in the temple!"

The soldiers on the side brought a sturdy black horse, without a trace of variegation, which was given to him by Guo Zixing as a wedding gift back then.

The defenders in Jiqing City were even more overjoyed, but they were afraid that there was any strategy, and they guarded the city gate, and only sent a dozen horsemen to watch from a distance of hundreds of meters.

In the afternoon, the Chinese army passed by a hill, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a bloodline heir, ordered a stone inscription saying, "Those who come to this mountain will not suffer without heirs"!

Dozens of strong men outside the mansion of Chen Di, a merchant in Taiping (now Dangtu County, Anhui), guarded the gate, carrying a long knife and a long bow at their waists, and looked around vigilantly.

A black and thin old man walked through the door of the mansion with more than ten catties of grain on his back, bent down and walked quickly with his head down, the kid was curious, and secretly looked back.

At a glance, the whole body stiffened, and I saw a big man looking at them coldly, but this time he turned his eyes to each other, and his heart was sudden, and the kid wanted to turn around but couldn't control his body inexplicably.

Syllable!

I felt a pain in my head, and my uncle whispered and scolded in my ears: "Something like a dog!" I'm too lazy to take these few steps! Come on!

The kid responded indiscriminately, hurriedly got out of the terrifying sight, and walked out quickly following the pace of the uncle.

After walking out of the two streets, Heiwa relieved herself: "Whew! Uncle, have the guards of Old Man Chen's family changed? A few newcomers are so bluffing, and cold sweat comes out of my back. ”

Uncle Heiwa also slowed down his pace, put down the food and soothed his shoulders.

"Hey! Otherwise, you don't know anything, those are not ordinary janitors, nine times out of ten they are soldiers, and they are not ordinary soldiers! ”

"Uncle, why aren't you an ordinary soldier?"

"How does it feel to be targeted by them!"

"Hehe, the pee almost came out! It's like being targeted by a wolf! ”

"Ha, that's right! Such a person can be such a person just by his eyes, if he is not killed in the sea of corpses and blood, or he is a high-ranking nobleman!

"Remember, when you see this kind of person in the future, bend down, bow your head, and go away! Got it? ”

Seeing Heiwa nodding, the old man glanced back and felt a little sad in his heart: "I don't know when this dog's day will end!" ”

In the hall of the mansion, a wealthy and noble middle-aged man was sitting upright, took a sip of tea and said to the young woman beside him: "Madam, everything must be cautious, and you must not be negligent!" ”

"The concubine understands that the servants of the family are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard except for the children born in the family, and the doctor and the nurse also use the ones who know the roots, and the concubine personally stares at the food, and there is no relaxation!"

"That's good, I've already received the news that the marshal has withdrawn and returned, and the more this happens, the more you and I can't be negligent!"

"Okay, then the concubine will go back to take care of the lady and the little son."

Looking at the figure of the lady at home leaving quickly, Chen Di secretly sighed, "The world is in chaos!" Dragons and snakes are mixed, I don't know if my bet is right! ”

Mrs. Chen in the inner courtyard carefully inquired about the situation of the adults and children, and was relieved to make sure that the mother and child were healthy.

A gentle voice came from inside the house: "It's Sister Chen, right?" I'm really tired of my sister. If you don't like it, please come in. ”

Chen hurriedly replied softly: "Why did my sister wake up, but my sister made a noise to you?" ”

The maid beside her carefully pushed open the door a little, for fear of getting into a little cold wind, and Chen also hurriedly stepped in.

Walking to the inner room, there was a soft-looking woman with a tough face between her eyebrows, lying on the bed with a pale face, covered with a thick quilt, but it was difficult to hide the joy of being a mother for the first time.

Chen sat on the edge of the bed with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and Buddha the quilt, "My sister is a nobleman, and she gave birth to the eldest son of the handsome man safely, and she has been so energetic for only five days." ”

Ma doesn't care about his body, he has been lonely since he was a child, and he has been under the fence, although he has not been abused, but he can't say how easy his life is, and after getting married, he followed his husband to fight in the east and west, and his body is extremely healthy, and he has recovered a lot after giving birth.

But when I think of the child I just touched, I can't help but smile full of motherhood.

"That kid is very good, he doesn't cry or make trouble, and his little face is pink and tender........."

Looking at Ma, who was excited to become a first-time mother, Mrs. Chen also remembered her own child, especially the first one, which was always special.

"Ah~Wow~Ah~"

A faint sound pierced through the walls, and not many people heard it.

Mrs. Chen was still listening attentively to Ma's story, but Ma, who was telling her child with a serious face, heard her child's cry in an instant, and immediately asked out loud.

"The child is crying! Quick, what's the matter, bring the kid over! ”

Chen took a big jump, and hurriedly reassured Ma, "Sister, don't panic, the child may be urinating, and it is normal for a child to cry." ”

Ma Shi was still anxious, and she was relieved until the nurse hugged the child and gently placed it beside her.

Ma reluctantly touched his son's cheek sideways, looked at his eyes, and gently stroked his soft arm: "Good boy, mother is here, don't cry or cry~"

When the child reached his mother's side, he fell silent, staring at her with round black and white eyes.

"This is the mother of my life, the famous virtuous queen in history, that is, the wife of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma!"

Zhu Qian was originally a freshman and lived a good life, but he was unlucky enough to encounter an epidemic...
