Chapter 057: Expedition
In the rush of preparation, in the face of time seems so insignificant.
If it was possible, Zhao Zongwu would rather lead his troops and stay in the capital for another ten days and a half months, and prepare all the needs of his command as much as possible.
It is thousands of miles away from Shaanxi.
The number of people under his command exceeded 80,000.
In addition to the more than 60,000 troops in Beijing, there are still more than 5,000 craftsmen gathered and the young and strong baggage battalion responsible for logistics and transportation.
In order to better coordinate the troops and horses, the part is the front, middle and rear armies, which are controlled by Chen Qiyu, Zhao Zongwu and Cui Chengxiu respectively.
Among them, the front and middle armies are soldiers, and the rear army is the baggage supply troops.
Since it is said that Zhao Zongwu was ordered to go out to quell the people's rebellion, then the posture that the imperial court should do must be sufficient.
The justifiable occupation of righteousness is something that the ruling class must control at all times.
However, in order to save the corresponding time, except for Zhao Zongwu who led a few soldiers to accept the emperor's grace bathing on the ceremonial platform built by the Ministry of Rites, the rest had already set off first.
In order to make Zhao Zongwu feel that he is very valued, Zhang Weixian and Zhu Chunchen are painstakingly about this, and all the etiquette rules and regulations that should be put on the table, and all the face-saving work that should be done is played.
"......, I hope that the Duke of Dingguo will return triumphantly as soon as possible!"
The muezzins read out the decree with great joy, and the ministers of the DPRK and China, under the leadership of the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Chunchen, and the Duke of Pingguo Xu Xi, congratulated Zhao Zongwu, the Duke of Dingguo, who was standing at the foot of the ceremonial platform.
"I hope that the Duke of Dingguo will return triumphantly as soon as possible!"
The tsunami-like singing and harmony of the mountains made Zhao Zongwu, who was originally wandering outside, suddenly shake his heart.
If it weren't for this singing, I'm afraid he would have fallen asleep.
"Toss, you guys are in the capital to engage in these false rituals, Lao Tzu has no time to play this set for you, time can't wait, there are still many things that need to be done by Lao Tzu!" ’
Under the leadership of the ceremonial officer, Zhao Zongwu made corresponding movements than the gourd painting scoop, but he spoke with great disdain in his heart.
He agrees with these etiquette rules in his heart, because this is the foundation of the Chinese nation, but he is extremely disdainful of the people who implement this set of etiquette rules......
On the bright surface, there is endless filth and filth hidden inside.
Time passed bit by bit, and finally the British Duke Zhang Weixian replaced the young Emperor Chongzhen and issued a military talisman on behalf of the commander-in-chief's mansion.
In the end, Zhao Zongwu assured Emperor Chongzhen: "If you go to Shaanxi, you will suppress the rebels as soon as possible, so that my Ming glory will shine forever!" ”
After saying this, under the ardent expectations of Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi, Zhao Zongwu led his soldiers on a journey.
On the way to the main army, the young Zhao Zonglin looked a little indifferent, looked at his eldest brother and said: "Brother, how many of those ministers in the court are sincere, and they are looking forward to us quelling the rebellion as soon as possible?" ”
With the passage of time, the boy of the past has also grown up now.
The unusual experience since childhood made Zhao Zonglin eager for his own strength more than anyone else, because he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to help his eldest brother, he must have enough ability.
If he doesn't have enough ability, then he can only watch his eldest brother work from a distance, and he has no ability to help at all.
He didn't want that.
So in the years that he followed Zhao Zongwu to Liaodong, Zhao Zonglin has been silently improving himself, and he is one of the best in the athletes' camp of the War College.
Even if he is a genius like Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui, and Cao Dingjiao, he Zhao Zonglin is not inferior to him!
Before Zhao Zongwu came to the capital, he didn't want his younger brother to come to Beijing with him, after all, there are too many uncertainties in the middle, in case of an accident, it will be an absolutely unforgivable existence for Zhao Zongwu.
But Zhao Zonglin obviously didn't think so.
He is in adolescence, and at such an age, it is the time to prove his ability.
The more you don't let him do anything, the more he wants to do it to prove it to you.
The purpose is to show you that he can do it!
I just want to get your compliment.
Although he will not admit it.
Maybe this is an adolescent teenager.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zonglin escaped from the Dingguo Mansion after being sternly rejected by his eldest brother, if it wasn't for Wang Yingyi to send someone to report, I am afraid that Zhao Zongwu will arrive in the capital, and he will not know that his younger brother has come to him.
After sending someone to find Zhao Zonglin on the way to the possibly march, Zhao Zongwu did not blame him, on the contrary, he also began to hand over some things to his younger brother to do, praising him for doing a good job, and scolding him for a bad job, of course, he would also teach Zhao Zonglin some ways of thinking in the middle.
It was also under such a circumstance that Zhao Zonglin finally became the Jinyi Health Security Division.
Zhao Zongwu listened to his younger brother's question, and said with a little smile on his face: "Zonglin, the most fundamental purpose of letting you follow me to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion this time is to let you go to see some different scenes again.
You are smarter than ordinary teenagers, which also makes you a little arrogant in your heart, but many times, people live in this world, there are too many places that need to be compromised, before you were the Jinyi Health Security Division Zhenfu Division, although you did a really good job, but part of the reason is because I am your brother.
Didn't you ask me how many of the ministers of the DPRK and China are sincere?
I won't answer this question for now, and when you arrive in Shaanxi, everything starts from the basics, and you can taste the Tao in the middle by yourself.
When you can really understand the Tao in this, then you can really get started. ”
This young man will eventually grow up one day, and sometimes he wants to protect them excessively, which is not a good thing.
After all, for Zhao Zongwu, he began to struggle in Daming at the youngest age, although his mental age was already very large, but he did not have such a high starting point at that time.
With the rapid expansion of power in the future, cultivating the power of his own family is something that must be done, and Zhao Zonglin, as his own younger brother, since he has the talent in this area, then he must cultivate it well.
Zhao Zonglin seemed to listen to what his eldest brother said, but he firmly remembered it in his heart.
In this world, the person Zhao Zonglin admires the most is his eldest brother.
Because his eldest brother really started from scratch, step by step, and relied on his own courage to get to where he is today, which also makes him always have a goal in mind.
That is to be able to catch up as much as possible, the achievements of his eldest brother when he was young!
