"In those days, my father had just married your mother for a few years, and the family road had already fallen, so I was motivated, and what I wanted was to give your mother a glorification to our Zhu family's face. Well, in retrospect, to say that you are motivated, is actually ambitious. Yes, I, Zhu Xuanshui, just want to get ahead, and what I want is to be noble in front of people. ”

"In order to make a fortune, my father dares to do anything, not even his face. Later, Daddy Pan attached the Jinyi Guard to command Tian Ergeng. Although he is not yet Commander Tian's confidant, he is also quite trusted. Later, he handled a few cases, and he was promoted to a hundred households in brocade clothes. Recalling the past, Zhu Xuanshui looked leisurely: "Later, I made a thousand households, and I was in charge of hundreds of people in my hands?" It was your father's most beautiful day, what a good day! ”

Zhu Ting comforted his father: "Daddy never told his daughter about it before, and at that time, I didn't know what Daddy's majesty was. But it's not bad now! ”

"What do you know, what do you know?" Zhu Xuanshui shook his head, looking sad: "Who would have thought that a good life would not pass for a few years. Commander Tian lost his position, he was Wei Zhongxian's man, he was involved, became a thief, and was sentenced to a summary execution. The people and horses of Jinyiwei have all been changed. Daddy is also a person who commands Tian, and someone from the Three Law Divisions came to the door, saying that Daddy is also against the party, and it is said that I will not survive. ”

"Ah, what about later!" Although he knew that his father was alive and well now, Zhu Ting was still so nervous that his palms were full of cold sweat.

Later, my father scattered all his family property, finally saved his life, and was sent to Nanjing to be a deputy thousand households. That's 30,000 taels of silver. Zhu Xuanshui suddenly sneered in a low voice: "Those righteous men and gentlemen of the Three Law Divisions are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. But when I saw the money, I couldn't care about anything, and eating was ugly compared to us eunuchs. Seeing the money, my father not only saved his life, but also his official position. ”

"That's good, that's good." Zhu Ting breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after leaving the capital and being sent to Nanjing, my father was unwilling. After all, I am from Beijing, and I think about going back to my hometown day and night. Zhu Xuanshui: "So, after arriving in Nanjing, my father was more attentive than before, and he always rushed to do everything." This time, Sun Yuan committed the murder case, which on the surface seemed to be nothing more than a personal grudge. But my father thought that a thousand-household officer slaughtered a county lord Bo Manmen, but he could make an article. It would be best if a few high-ranking officers could be involved, even the Wei Commander and the officials of the Nanjing Military Department. The bigger the trouble, the better, and when the time comes, Daddy's name will spread all over the world, and even enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and when the time comes, I will turn over again. ”

In general, the institutions of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei were divided into two parts: central and local. The central structure is the North Town Fu Division, the South Town Fu Division, and the Experience Division; Locally, it is divided into 14 thousand households, which are located in important cities such as Nanjing.

Nanjing Jinyi Wei Qianhu so the previous Qianhu is old, and he will retire in a year or two. In this way, the position of the thousand households is vacant.

The power is moving, and the four deputy thousand households of the Thousand Households Office are staring at this position with their eyes on it.

Zhu Xuanshui has the heart to fight.

Zhu Ting: "Daddy, why bother, you and my father and daughter can be together peacefully, better than anything else, what kind of powerful official position, what's the point?" ”

"You are a woman, how can you understand the ambitions of a man, silly child." Zhu Xuanshui stretched out his hand to stroke his daughter's hair, but he touched it empty. Only then did I remember that my daughter was too tall to reach at all: "At the beginning, my father thought that handling this kind of case was just a gesture. A little officer of a thousand households, when he saw our Jinyi Guard, he was still arrested. But who would have thought that Sun Yuan, a thief, was so bold and reckless that he dared to ambush a soldier and attack his father. Daddy was also careless for a while, not only himself, but also you fell into the hands of the enemy. This Sun thief didn't know what he wanted to do, pulling so many elites to Nanjing, thousands of miles away, but it was definitely not a good thing. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Xuanshui's face was full of remorse, and he began to cough violently again.

Zhu Ting hurriedly stretched out his hand to pat his father's vest again, and at this time, someone outside the cabin shouted: "Miss Zhu, it's not early, please go back!" ”

"You, wait!" Zhu Ting was furious and was about to have a seizure.

Zhu Xuanshui glanced at his daughter: "Go back, don't anger Sun Thief." ”

He was also afraid in his heart, and he didn't expect that someone outside was listening. Just now, if my daughter said that she wanted to find a way to escape, the person outside must have heard it.

******************************************************

Cold, very cold.

The snow particles in the sky had turned into goose feather snow and fell flutteringly, and the snow on the ground had accumulated half a foot deep.

The field is vast, snow-white, and the endless hills in the distance are like long white snakes, lying across the horizon.

Is this still Jiangnan, it is similar to the northern winter in later generations.

The only difference is that winters in the north are dry, while here it is wet and cold. When the snow fell to the ground and was stepped on by the foot, it immediately became firm, and the road was full of ice, and it was extremely difficult to walk one step and three steps back.

The team disembarked from the boat, pushed the cart, and led the horses forward.

Riding on the war horse, inhaling the cold and humid air, and looking at the snow, Sun Yuan felt a burst of excitement in his heart for no reason, and even a trace of worry.

This battle plan was formulated by Sun Yuan as early as half a year ago, as long as he finished this battle and kept Chuzhou City, he would be regarded as a peerless contribution to the imperial court. Otherwise, Chuzhou, a strategic place, will be lost, and the situation in the southeast will be in danger!

Of course, with Lu Xiangsheng, an immortal figure, it only takes half a month to recapture Chuzhou, and even defeat the invading peasants, greatly damaging their vitality, and they will not be able to recover within a few years.

But before the war, no one dared to say that this battle would be won. In fact, after the Fengyang Incident, the morale of the Ming Dynasty army was not too high in general, and seeing the amazing momentum of the peasants, some generals even had a feeling of defeat.

If Sun Yuan can hold Chuzhou at this time, he will definitely be able to greatly improve the morale of the army, and then change the entire southeast suppression situation.

However, Sun Yuan's army numbered only a few thousand, and it had only been formed for half a year, and he had never been on the battlefield. Whether this battle can be won, to be honest, he is not sure.

According to historical records, the enemy had 100,000 soldiers, plus auxiliaries and coerced civilians, at least 300,000.

The thief army has the habit of using crowd tactics, and the vanguard army naturally has a lot of numbers. According to Sun Yuan's prediction, he would have to face at least one or two thousand enemies in his first battle.

It's an unprecedented challenge!

Just last night, Sun Yuan had already gathered all the officers above the general flag under his command and laid out the marching route.

This time, the Ningxiang Army landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Nanjing, passed through Jiangpu, crossed the entire Langye Mountain, and deployed at Qingliu Pass, where it intercepted the advance of the peasant army, cut off one of its fingers, and delayed the enemy's offensive.
