Chapter 21 Priing History with Saltpeter
"You kid, I mean tell you to be careful!"
Zhu Hu said with a smile, "Although the seventh child is locked up, his people have no loss at all." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info especially in Yingtian Mansion, his power is much stronger than that of my brother and me, you have been staying in the mansion with peace of mind recently, waiting to get married, don't let me go out to provoke right and wrong, let the people of the seventh child catch the handle! ”
"Oh, I see!"
Zhu Song's ears were about to hear that the cocoon was coming, Lao Tzu wished that others would provoke Lao Tzu, during this period of time, the internal and external skills of Bajiquan were restored, and he was about to grow hair all over his idle body.
"Forget it, you can't listen to what my brother says anyway!" Seeing Zhu Song's performance, Zhu Hu knew that his efforts were in vain.
"Hehe, the fifth brother still understands me!" Zhu Song touched his chin and asked with a seemingly unintentional smile: "By the way, Fifth Brother, do you know what the situation in the north is?"
Zhu Hu was stunned, as if he didn't expect his younger brother, who had never cared about national affairs, to ask this question.
After bowing his head and thinking about it, Zhu Hu said: "I heard that the Yan army has arrived outside the Songjiang Mansion, and the King of Yan has built a Jiangbei camp on the north bank of the river.
"So fast?" Zhu Song muttered, his voice could only be heard by himself, "It seems that my side is also going to speed up!" ”
"Brother Song, what did you say?" Zhu Hu didn't hear what Zhu Song said, and asked subconsciously.
"Oh, hehe, nothing!" Zhu Song reacted, shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking, at this juncture, the emperor has arranged my wedding so much, does he have any other plans?"
"Who knows what he thinks?" Zhu Hu shook his head and said: "But for now, there is also good news for the imperial army, that is, the weather in the north has always been colder than the weather in our south, so the Yan army is mostly cold-tolerant, and in such a hot weather, the Yan army is at an absolute disadvantage." I heard that many Yan soldiers have suffered from heat stroke, if they can't take Songjiang Mansion as soon as possible, I'm afraid that if they want to break through Yingtian Mansion, it will be far away! ”
I don't know if there is something wrong with my ears, Zhu Song actually heard a pity from Zhu Hu's words, it seems that the Yan army can't break through Songjiang Mansion, what a pity.
It stands to reason that the officials of the Ming Dynasty should be very afraid of the 'Qingjun side' of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, after all, Emperor Jianwen is not bad to these ministers and generals, if there is a change of emperor, it may be a different situation!
What is the situation of this Zhu Hu?
Of course, these are all things in Zhu Song's heart, he will not be stupid enough to say these words, just deal with two sentences casually.
The two brothers chatted about homely things for a full hour, and Zhu Song left Zhu Hu down for lunch together.
Of course, the dishes of Han Wangfu are all made according to Zhu Song's newly created recipes, and Zhu Hu almost swallowed his tongue when he ate it.
After noon, Zhu Hu was sent away, and after coaxing the two children to sleep, Zhu Song was in the pavilion and thought about what Zhu Hu said.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the copper basin that 'turned water into ice', and his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
……
A few miles away from Matsue Prefecture, the turbulent river rolls away from east to west.
White tents stood on the side of the north of the river, and the Yan army in the north who dared to fight the tigers and wolves was unusually silent at the moment.
All the way from Beiping to the present, the soldiers of the Yan army have been exhausted to the extreme, and the scorching heat is unbearable, and the soldiers do not even have much morale at all.
At this time, in the main tent of the Chinese army camp, a middle-aged man with majestic hair sat in the big tent, his eyes looking at the sand table on the table, and his brows were tightly locked.
This person was born with a bee waist and an ape back, and his facial features were like knives and axes, and he looked very majestic.
"Hey!"
I don't know how long it took, but the middle-aged man sighed, but his tightly locked brows tightened.
"Your Highness, there is news from Nanjing!"
Just as the middle-aged man sighed, a deep voice came from outside the big tent.
Your Highness, the Jiangbei Army!
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the commander of the Jingnan army this time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan!
"Pass it in." Zhu Di sighed softly and said in a deep voice.
Da-da-da-da!
Exciting footsteps sounded, and a bearded man who was eight feet tall and looked like a fierce beard walked in, holding a small bamboo tube tightly in his hand.
"Well, Shihong, why are you?" Zhu Di glanced up and said stunned: "What about the Jinyi Guard who is in charge of the order?"
Shihong? Zhu Neng, Zhu Shihong!
"Your Highness, this matter is too important, that Jinyi guard has been ordered by the last general to take care of it, so this secret letter can only be sent in by the last general!"
Zhu Neng solemnly took out a letter written on the brocade silk from the small bamboo tube and gave it to Zhu Di with both hands.
You must know that Zhu Nengnai is the commander of all affairs, followed Zhu Di to conquer Mobei, was brave and good at fighting, and even protected Zhu Di from dangerous places several times.
The secret letter sent by the general himself, and the brocade guards who sent the letter were taken care of, which shows the seriousness of the matter!
Opening the secret letter, Zhu Di's eyes looked down, and suddenly, his face changed greatly, and he shouted in a thick voice: "Shihong, go and get saltpeter quickly, quickly!"
Zhu Neng didn't move the nest, but directly poured out a well-sealed calfskin bag from the bamboo tube, and said, "Your Highness, that lord has all ready!"
Zhu Di snatched the calfskin bag from Zhu Neng's hand, opened it and saw that it was full of a small bag of saltpeter.
He looked around, and saw that there was still more than half of the water in the teacup on the table, so he took the teacup, shook the bag directly, and sprinkled a third of the saltpeter.
After doing all this, Zhu Di and Zhu Neng's master and servant all stared at the small teacup.
It didn't take long for the water surface of the small teacup to start to chill, and ice slag and ice chips formed at a speed visible to the naked eye...... Ice cubes followed!
"This, this ......"
Zhu Di thought he was dazzled at first, and kept rubbing his eyes with his hands.
But when he reached out and picked up the teacup, and the thick and piercing cold sensation reached his hand, he believed that this seemed to be an incredible scene in front of him.
What about Zhu Neng again? Right now, the man was looking sluggish, and he was still pinching his arm.
I don't know how long it took, but the master and servant looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Zhu Di even looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, my Yan army has been saved, if Jing is difficult, Brother Song should be the first to take the lead!"
……
The days are still going by, and the lives of the people in Nanjing City are still the same, and they don't seem to be affected by the Jingyan army.
However, in the city of Nanjing, there is a news that is spreading more and more widely and intensifying.
That is Xu Miaojin, the third sister of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, who was married to Zhu Song, the king of Han, by the emperor half a month ago.
Originally, the people of Nanjing City had known about this news for a long time, and there was nothing to blame, but it was no wonder that the official family actually issued a notice to publicize the matter to the court.
This is a hornet's nest, as soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Ying Tianfu, and even half of the Ming Dynasty.
You must know that Xu Miaojin is not only extremely beautiful, but also full of economy, and is a famous talented woman in Nanjing; Moreover, she was born in a noble family and had a respected status, if an ordinary scholar could marry her into the door, he would definitely be able to struggle for twenty years less.
In a famous sentence in later generations, Xu Miaojin is a typical Bai Fumei!
Look at Zhu Song again, although he has been recuperating in his own house since the beginning of this month, but the reputation of this kid before has made people think about this eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, cheating, abduction, and stealing ...... It can be said that it is a bad billet that has done all the bad things, and it is full of disgust.
is such a goods, and being able to marry Xu Miaojin not only shocked the magnates of the Ming Dynasty, but also made those young nobles sad and indignant.
On the contrary, the ladies of those noble families were in the opposite mood to those people, and they were all happy, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in their hearts:
This scourge has finally taken a wife, and these women have escaped the doom of marrying this scourge!
