(Thank you for the commuter pass of "Yuen Gen"!) ）

Zhu Hongsan ate very happily at this lunch for the four fathers and sons, the children have grown up in recent years, and there is no father-son family like before. Zhu Hongsan has several underage children, but Zhu Hongsan's feelings for them are far less deep than these few years. The main reason is that there were not so many people around him back then, Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Luo, Zhu Hai, Zhu Jiang, Zhu Huai, Zhu Yu and several other early-born children get along day and night, and their feelings are very deep. In the future, Zhu Hong's third prison country, the expansion of the territory and the increase of Zhu Hongsan's wife, there will not be so much attention to other children.

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Jiang: "Second brother, you just came back, there will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow night, welcome back to Nanjing, the king of Wuchang County and the king of Jiujiang County, as well as your sister Zhu Yu's family are back, you can also come and have a look!" ”

The relationship between Zhu Jiang and Zhu Yu is not bad, and when Zhu Hongsan said this, he quickly agreed.

Because it was only a working lunch, he didn't prepare wine, but Zhu Hongsan ate very well this meal. Chat with your three sons, listen to them tell interesting stories, and enjoy the long-lost family fun.

After eating, the three sons got up to say goodbye, and Zhu Hongsan said: "Second child, you wait a minute, I still have something to tell you!" The crown prince and the king of Chu didn't expect the second child to be left alone, but they had no choice but to leave the palace and return to their mansion after saluting.

Seeing that the prince was gone, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Second brother, let's talk about it now, what is there to do in the army?" It can't all be happy things, right? ”

Zhu Hong and the three of them were old and fine, and they knew that he had something on his mind when they saw Zhu Jiang's appearance, but the prince couldn't say it in front of him, so he left the second son to ask for details.

"Second brother, do you have anything you want to say to me alone?" said that it was alone, but there were still a few little eunuchs in the house, but this kind of poor person was not a person at all in the eyes of Zhu Hongsan's father and son.

Zhu Jiang didn't want to tell his father, but he was a young man and didn't have the ability to laugh and laugh like an adult.

Zhu Jiang lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Father, the son found a problem on the battlefield in Yangzhou, the soldiers of the Ming army under his command actually slaughtered ordinary people for no reason!" Is this against the laws of the land? Zhu Jiang did not say that this matter was instructed by Jiang Pengju and other senior generals, after all, no matter how stupid Zhu Jiang is, he can't betray his own people.

Hearing Zhu Jiang say this, Zhu Hongsan smiled in his heart, this child is still tender! Zhu Jiang has Dongchang guards by his side, how can he hide all his affairs from Zhu Hongsan?

Zhu Hongsan did not answer Zhu Jiang's question, but asked with a smile: "What did you and your grandfather say?" ”

Zhu Hongsan's question was a little heart-wrenching, and Zhu Jiang listened to Zhu Hongsan's unkind tone, and cold sweat immediately broke out.

Zhu Jiang hurriedly knelt down and said: "Father, at that time, the sons and daughters saw the soldiers killing innocent people, and they felt very uncomfortable, so they had to go to talk to their grandfather at night, and they didn't talk about their father behind their backs!" ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at his son so frightened, and asked, "You get up and speak, are you such an unreasonable person?" You just have to tell the truth, Lao Tzu won't clean up your grandfather! ”

Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Zhu Jiang was still worried in his heart, the grace of heaven is unpredictable, who knows if you are talking to me.

Seeing that Zhu Jiang bowed his head and didn't speak, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "You don't know if you don't say Lao Tzu, did your grandfather scold Lao Tzu again?" Is it talking about the matter in Xinyang again? And is it that you scold Lao Tzu for being a faint king? ”

Zhu Jiang didn't expect his father to guess eight or nine, so he hurriedly defended his grandfather: "Father, although my grandfather has a little whisper, but my grandfather said that my father is eloquent and a good emperor!" ”

Zhu Hongsan laughed and said: "Second brother, you are still defending your grandfather, Lao Tzu has known this old bastard for more than ten years, and he still doesn't know him!" Did he say that for the sake of the common people and the great future, he had to assist me? ”

Zhu Jiang really didn't expect Zhu Hongsan to guess so accurately, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhu Hongsan stood up and came to Zhu Jiang's side, helped Zhu Jiang who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "It's just time to finish eating, you and I go out for a walk and relax!" ”

Zhu Hongsan took his son out of the Qianqing Palace, went out of the back gate of the Forbidden City through the Xuanwu Gate, and came to the Yulin right guard in the imperial city. There are two large military camps in the imperial city of Nanjing, which are the left and right guards of Yulin, which were the garrison of Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial forest army. But after Zhu Di moved the capital, this place was abandoned, and the house collapsed into two large empty fields after a few hundred years.

After Zhu Hongsan entered the city, he handed over the left guard of Yulin to the Janissary Division, and the place of the right guard of Yulin was built into a boy camp by Zhu Hongsan.

When Zhu Hongsan was recruiting troops in Wuchang, he also set up a boy boy camp to recruit some young street children, the youngest being four or five years old, and the oldest being 12 years old. Zhu Hongsan remembered the Whampoa Military Academy in later generations, when the old Jiang Nengsan went up and down three times, it was because of the efforts of these students, so after Zhu Hongsan had the ability to act alone, he immediately started to open this boy camp.

However, when he was in Wuchang, his financial resources were limited, and he could only take in a dozen children, but after arriving in Guangzhou, the number increased to more than 1,000. With the occupation of Nanjing by Zhu Hongsan, this number expanded again to more than 5,000 people.

Zhu Hongsan knows that these children don't look young now, but because they are young, they are like blank paper, such people will completely obey their orders when they grow up, and these people will be firm supporters of themselves and their thrones.

Most of the children in the camp now are between the ages of five and eight, and some are as young as 10 years old, who leave the camp and live in a barracks outside the city until they are 15 years old. In the Ming Dynasty, fifteen years old was equivalent to an adult, Zhu Hongsan would arrange them to enter various jobs according to their strengths, such as small leaders in the factory, squad leaders in the army, small flags in the brocade guard, etc., if there was a talent for learning, Zhu Hongsan would also let him enter the Guozijian and become a national reserve official. Zhu Hongsan believes that as long as it takes another twenty years, when these children grow to be thirty or forty years old and become the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, their throne will be forever.

The boy boy scout had just moved from Guangzhou to Nanjing, and the vast open space was still a mess, with hundreds of craftsmen building new platoon houses in the distance, and several officers of the Praetorian Guard Division leading the boys in training.

Zhu Hongsan used the kind of militaristic education of later Prussia here, these boys had to get up before dawn every morning, then wash their faces with cold water in the cold weather, then eat, and study cultural classes in the morning, which was nothing more than loyalty to the emperor and loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Military training begins after lunch, and after dark, dinner goes to bed.

Although this kind of training is cruel to underage children, it is really heaven compared to the homeless people who die every day outside Nanjing, so these more than 5,000 children are truly grateful to Zhu Hongsan from the bottom of their hearts.

The boys who were training saw Zhu Hongsan in bright yellow clothes appear at the door, shouted and rushed over one by one, and came to Zhu Hongsan to kneel and kowtow.

Zhu Hongsan smiled and asked, "Have you listened to the instructor?" Are you well fed? Cold or not? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the instructor is very good to us!"

"The food is also very good, and I still ate meat at noon today!"

Zhu Hongsan listened to the children's answers, turned back to Zhu Jiang and said, "You see, these children are all fatherless and motherless orphans adopted by me, most of their parents died on the way south, and a small number of them are unable to raise their own children and sell them!" ”

"The father can give these orphans a way to live, which is really an unprecedented benevolence!" Zhu Jiang knew that according to the current chaos, this kind of five or six-year-old boy would not be able to survive in society at all. The south is better, and it is not new to change children and eat in the north.

Zhu Hongsan pointed to the children and said, "Second child, you saw it!" Your grandfather himself said that what is the great cause of the country, the people, the country and the country, but how much has he really done for the people in his mouth? One-third of the sugar industry in Leizhou Prefecture belongs to your grandfather's family! And the gold mines in Luzon also have your grandfather's shares! ”

Zhu Jiang naturally knows what kind of property his grandfather has, don't look at his grandfather Ma Jiyuan's sanctimonious appearance, now he and several uncles' family property is almost the same as the rich. Zhu Jiang heard Zhu Hongsan talk about his grandfather, and he couldn't help but have a fever on his face.

Zhu Hongsan continued: "Second child, do you know that your grandfather's entire family and daughters were killed by Lao Tzu, why is he still desperate to serve Lao Tzu?" Those factories are proof of that! And your second grandfather, three of the six major money banks in Guangzhou belong to him, and a quarter of the shares of the iron ore mine in Qiongzhou Mansion belong to Tong Yangjia. There is also Chen Zizhuang, who is really as clear as water and as cheap as a mirror on the surface, but news came from Guangzhou that his family has 100,000 acres of land outside Guangzhou, and there are countless farms of all kinds. These stinky old nine pretend to be five people and six people, but when the country is in danger, they don't pull out a dime! There are still hundreds of thousands of displaced people outside Nanjing, why don't you see them go to soup porridge! ”

Zhu Jiang was drenched in cold sweat by Zhu Hongsan's words, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Father, the son-in-law is wrong, the son-in-law should not listen to and believe in his grandfather's words!" ”

Zhu Hongsan shook his hand and said, "No! No! I don't say this to make you disbelieve these stinky old men, but to let you see that although I killed Ma Jiyuan's whole family, I gave him enough benefits, and he also wants to work for me! The soldiers of the Ming army were not clean with their hands and feet, but they fought Yangzhou for me, so can I punish them? ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he pointed to those children and said: "Second child, have you seen it, now is the troubled times, you and I are both father and son in the troubled times, and one person can't save the world!" So I can only do my best to help these children, which can be regarded as a relief to the soul! ”

Zhu Jiang heard his father say this, and he thought it out in his heart, yes! How much can you save by yourself? Only by ending this troubled world as soon as possible can we save the world!

After thinking clearly, Zhu Jiang arched his hand and said, "Father, the son has figured it out!" Erchen wants to ask for a decree to return to Yangzhou! ”

Zhu Hongsan was very happy to see his son come out of the psychological shadow: "Don't worry, you go to see your mother first, and then go to the palace tonight to attend the banquet, the war in Yangzhou is over, and there will be no large-scale war next year, I will give you a month off to have a good rest!" ”
