Chapter 100: North, South

The next day, the old emperor issued an order, the founding prince Changsheng, the commander of the Taisun Guards, Guo Yue, and the military households of the Liaodong Division, the Beiping Division, and the Shandong Division, and set up a guard in Zhigu, which was divided into three guards, left, middle and right.

As soon as the decree was issued, Chang Sheng, Guo Yue and others began to get busy, Chang Sheng was responsible for coordinating materials, equipment and soldiers, and Guo Yue was busy sending cadres from martial arts cadets and escorts to the north with him, and 100 musketeers who could use arquebuses. The College of Engineering and the Firearms Bureau have developed arquebuses, but there are still some problems, such as the arquebus burning speed is a little fast, the one-meter-long arquebus is burned out in half an hour, and the accuracy is not high, and the processing speed of the barrel is slow, which makes Zhu Yunwen dissatisfied, but Guo Yue feels very satisfied after the test, and burns too fast, so he prepares a few more arquebuses; If the accuracy is not high, the platoon gun is used; The processing speed is too slow, so this batch has to be taken away.

July 15, Jinchuan Gate.

Zhu Yunwen was dressed in military uniform, standing on the Jinshui Bridge, the morning sun shone on him from the side, looking from a distance, like the golden armor god of war, the founding prince Changsheng led the generals to bow down and salute. Zhu Yunwen asked Liu Zhen to pour wine for each soldier, and said: "This goes to Zhigu, the mountain is high and the road is far away, all the soldiers have worked hard and made great achievements, today I am alone here to give you a meal, please take care all the way, come, drink this cup!" ”

Chang Sheng and the others took the wine glass and drank it all: "Your Highness Xie." The sound was neat and powerful, and the sound shook all over the wilderness, startling the birds in the woods.

Zhu Yunwen walked up to Chang Sheng and said, "Uncle has worked hard all the way, and the orphans at home will take care of it, please rest assured, take care of it all the way." ”

Chang Sheng bowed and said: "Your Highness Xie, the construction of the city will be completed by the end of the year, please don't worry about it." ”

"Okay, very good."

......

Because the construction of Suiyuan is a matter of great importance, Xu Huizu, Wang Du and others set off to the north after the tiger squat cannon was finalized, this time the Taisun Guards stayed in Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang transferred the Jinwu Left Guard and the Jinwu Right Guard as Xu Huizu's guards. Zhu Yunwen still bid them farewell at Jinchuan Gate, looking at Xu Huizu's back, Zhu Yunwen's heart was very uneasy, this was the first big action in his life, if there was a problem, it would be devastating to him and Daming. He is likely to be considered ignorant of soldiers and ousted by King Yan, and the Ming Dynasty will continue to defend the national policy of defending the fortress, and the reform of the guard will not continue to be implemented.

Xu Huizu looked back at Jingshi, and couldn't help but be full of ambition and emotion. His father, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, fought all his life and won the title of Duke of Wei for himself, and now he is thirty-five years old, but he has not made an inch, although he is often sent by the emperor to train troops and control soldiers and horses, but he has never been given the right to fight and kill. Comparatively speaking, the emperor prefers Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and often sends him to train soldiers, and even takes charge of himself. But I don't know why, since the emperor's grandson became the prince, he reused himself and Chang Sheng, alienated Li Jinglong, I heard that Li Jinglong was a little dissatisfied in private, but he didn't care, in his eyes, Li Jinglong was a standard Zhao Kuo. In all fairness, he admires His Royal Highness's open-mindedness, his two younger sisters are married to King Yan and King Dai respectively, but His Royal Highness can trust and reuse himself, although Suiyuan Jiancheng is the emperor's general, but if there is no relationship between the grandson, I am afraid it will not be his turn. Xu Huizu looked at the north from afar and secretly decided that he must build Suiyuan City, not only to inherit his father's title, but also to inherit his father's Wuluo Wentao.

At this time, in Zhigu, Chang Sheng was busy in a mess, occupying land and allocating military households with the assistance of Guo Yue. The military households mainly come from the Shandong Metropolitan Division, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and the Beiping Metropolitan Division, but the officers are mainly martial arts cadets, and Guo Yue is also handy in commanding. In terms of city construction, it was mainly the officials of the Ministry of Industry who were in charge, and cement was used for the construction of the city, and rails and pulleys were used for stone transportation, which greatly accelerated the construction speed while reducing labor. The rails and pulleys on the construction site even caught the attention of King Yan, and when King Yan personally tried the power of these two things, he couldn't help but praise the officials of the Ministry of Works.

King Yan passed by Zhigu on the way south, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that Zhigu City had begun to take shape in just ten months. As the actual master of the Beiping Division, he is well aware of the terrain near Beiping, and Zhigu Jianwei has a special meaning for him, that is, it can be said to protect Beiping, but it can also be said to clamp down on Beiping. He once tried to recommend some suitable generals for Chang Sheng, but Chang Sheng smiled and refused, and in the end he had to give up.

Also traveling south with King Yan were the princes of Jin, Dai, Gu, Ning, and Liao, who had been ordered to attend the reunion banquet on August 15. When these vassal kings received the holy decree, they were very nervous, worried that they would not be able to come back to Beijing, but they had to follow, but the king of Jin was not in good health, so he asked the prince of Jin to enter Beijing on his behalf, which was also approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

When the vassal kings converged and went south, everyone was reassured and didn't worry about going to Jingshi. After crossing Hebei, these vassal kings requisitioned ships and went south along the canal, and everyone ate, drank, and wandered in the cabins, so happy.

After the group arrived at Hongze Lake, they went to the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty to worship for a while, everyone was normal, only Zhu Di suddenly cried silently when worshipping, howled and cried, vomited blood and fainted, everyone hurriedly carried Zhu Di out and found a doctor for treatment.

The result of the doctor's diagnosis and treatment was excessive sadness, and it was good to recuperate for a period of time, but Zhu Di did not get better after taking the medicine, vomiting and diarrhea, and his body lost a circle, and he said in a trance: "Grandpa is angry, my Zhu family's descendants will not kill each other, if anyone does this, we must work together to subdue the black sheep, and return our Zhu family to harmony and beauty." ”

After hearing this, the vassal kings couldn't help but change color, and hurriedly covered Zhu Di's mouth, but Zhu Di's condition not only did not improve, but became more and more serious, Zhu Di even became self-talking, like a grandfather reprimanding his grandson for a while, and like a grandson reassuring his grandfather, and gritting his teeth for a while. But occasionally it's normal.,Eating and chatting with the vassal kings.,It's normal.。 Everyone looked for a doctor again, and after the doctor diagnosed, he thought that it was the ancestor of Yanwang who possessed him, so sometimes it was good and sometimes bad, and he must find out the crux of the problem and satisfy the ancestors, then the ancestors would leave, and Yanwang would naturally get better.

Everyone listened to the doctor's words, couldn't help but look at each other, and then decided to write a chapter together to report to Zhu Yuanzhang, in addition to describing Zhu Di's condition and the doctor's diagnosis, he also said in the chapter that they had also heard the words of their ancestors, so the illness of King Yan was indeed something.

This piece was quickly sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon book case, and Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked after reading it, and hurriedly sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it.
