Chapter 643: Bagpipes were heard from far away North America
"The heir is a big deal."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the gods on the altar of the temple, and his face was solemn.
He knew very well that he would become one of these gods in the near future.
As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang knows better what will be written on his throne.
Emperor Taizu.
This is an honorary title that belongs exclusively to the founding kings.
After Taizu is Taizong.
And then Gojong.
Zhu Yuanzhang hopes that the Ming Dynasty can be passed on so smoothly.
He looked at the fat grandson standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your brothers are all kissed, and the clan is guarding outside, which is the wall of this family, and the tiles on the wall are counted, but they can't be missing." ”
Zhu Gaochi just wanted to escape from the Taimiao as soon as possible.
Is this the old man giving birth to a child with so many roof tiles?
Is the old man thinking of himself as a tile man?
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head, but pouted silently.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was so fat and his grandson, but the other party did not move at all, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
He said directly: "You have to learn from this kid." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's finger was already pointing, and now he seems to have become a model for the Ming Dynasty.
"Grandpa doesn't ask you to be invincible, every time you go to high school. But you're going to have to get one out, aren't you? ”
Zhu Gaochi's scalp tingled: "Grandpa......"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared, and then his eyes became a little uneasy.
He stared at his fat grandson tightly, thinking back to the size of this kid in the past, and there was a trace of worry in his heart for no reason.
Even the tone of Zhu Yuanzhang's next speech softened a little: "Or ...... Grandpa asked the water to come over for three years to take a look? How many pairs of drugs are prescribed, supplemented and supplemented? ”
He really can't question his fertility in front of his grandson.
Zhu Gaochi didn't understand anything at this time.
He raised his head, and his face was full of pathos.
In the past two years, I have been busy rolling like a dog, running from the east to the east, and calling from the west to the west. Even if you have a heart, you will be powerless.
It's just that when the words came to his mouth, Zhu Gaochi stopped, and when he opened his mouth, everything turned silent.
The old man is now bent on only wanting the old Zhu family to multiply and grow, so he won't listen to his explanation.
The more he explained, the more the old man felt that something was wrong with him.
Zhu Gaochi thought about it, and nodded along with the old man's meaning: "Grandson will go to the Tai Hospital today and ask the water hospital to prescribe a few prescriptions." ”
Seeing that the fat grandson finally went along with his wishes, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately showed a smile.
He looked at the two of them and said, "Speaking of which, there are also a lot of female dependents in Beijing. However, there are few of your younger generations, and there are more exchanges between concubines. ”
Zhu Gaochi frowned.
Now as long as his daughter-in-law hears that the princess will leave the palace and return to the grandson's mansion, she will inevitably rush over with someone in a hurry, and then those women will happily play mahjong all day.
This exchange is also frequent and cordial.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered: "Speaking of which, probably the people over there in Europa also know the customs of my Ming Dynasty, and more merchants will come over in the autumn, which should be to make a profit before the Spring Festival in the Central Plains."
Recently, Yingtian City has become more and more lively, and there are many fresh scenes. The grandson felt that he should let the daughters of the family go out to play and walk around.
The Taisun Mansion can be brought up in the clan first, Brother Chi'er's family, as well as Qiu Niang, who temporarily lives in the palace, and several younger generations will do it together, and when the time comes, the ladies and the aunts and sisters who will enter again will be invited to go out to play. ”
Hearing the word Qiu Niang, Zhu Gaochi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he realized that the old man was ordering this.
He couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yunxi.
Since last year's autumn mother slipped for some reason, the one in the East Palace in the past seems to have changed as a person.
first pursued and killed all the way, and then invited himself to garrison the Great Wall, and then entered the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Now, because of a place that I don't know if it exists, I took people into the vast snow forest.
The return date is unknown.
Zhu Yuanzhang talked a few times about the old Zhu family's family affairs, and his heart relaxed a little.
But I couldn't help but think that if the eldest sister was still there, I wouldn't have to do these things myself. The eldest sister can always deal with these messy things at home, and the family is harmonious.
Thinking about it, thoughts came to his heart, and Zhu Yuanzhang lost the mind of his children and grandchildren.
"Sheng'er and the girl should wake up, I'll go back and take care of it, you two brothers can do whatever you want."
After dropping a sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi, and walked out of the temple with his hands behind his back.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi glanced at each other.
The two of them looked at Zhong Shan not far away.
……
Across the distant frozen strait, head south along the coastline.
Zhu Yunwen was also looking at a mountain.
It's a mountain that never ends.
The mountain, which is covered only with low shrubs and exposed rocks, is naturally different from the famous mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.
The salty sea breeze blowing on the surface of the sea carries a different kind of smell.
This is a completely different boundary from the Central Plains.
Heading all the way south from the frozen northern continent, Zhu Yunwen could finally determine that on the continent under his feet at this moment, there were ancient Yin Shang relics living here.
The original legends, those stories about the migration of the remnants of the Yin Shang dynasty, should be true.
Zhu Yunwen looked back at the team behind him.
This team, which started from the Ming Dynasty and experienced the northern expedition of the national battle, went all the way north, crossed the frozen strait, and then went all the way south.
It's completely different now.
In the whole team, there were less than 700 people left.
Compared with the 1,000-strong team at the time of departure, more than 300 people were lost along the way.
Some were wounded and died, and some were too injured to return or carry them south, so they could only leave enough men to set up camp in situ and wait for the follow-up reinforcements from the imperial court to arrive, or the large army in front of them to return.
The remaining 600 people were also in rags.
The clothes on his body were all worn all the way.
And their packages were still on their bodies all the time, and they still had new clothes inside.
It's just that no one wears it.
Because everyone knows that when this new land appears in front of them, it proves that there must be people on this land.
As a military man in the most powerful empire in the world.
They had to appear to the natives as the people of the most civilized country in the world when they found them.
Gorgeous clothes are one of the options that represent civilization.
"We're already far from the cold, and if there were anyone, we should be meeting them soon."
Sun Cheng, who is now full of beards, is talking beside Zhu Yunwen with his cheeks full of vicissitudes.
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand at the team behind him, signaling the officers and soldiers to start camping and resting on the spot.
After doing this, he looked at Sun Cheng: "According to the solar terms of the Central Plains, it is almost autumn." ”
Sun Cheng nodded, they had been walking for several months, from the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu to the thirtieth year of Hongwu.
Along the way, they will climb mountains and swim across waters, and they will hunt on the spot if they are short of rations.
It was also along the way that they understood that this was a pristine land.
There are too many animals and plants, and there are too few traces of human development, and it can even be said that there is no trace of human activity for the time being.
"It's warmer, we should get away from the sea and go inland. Find a few rivers and walk up the banks and you may soon find the aborigines here. ”
Zhu Yunwen thought about it and felt that this was a method that could be tried.
After all, continuing along the coast, their search was too narrow.
Moreover, if there are people, according to the historical development of the Central Plains, they will only choose to start the development of civilization in the location of the big river, not on the seaside.
Because the great river represents fertile land, abundant water, abundant species.
"You can find a suitable place around here to be used as a temporary camp. A small group of men and horses continued south, returning regularly to check the situation. The rest of the group headed inland and spread out when they encountered the river, expanding the search area. ”
Zhu Yunwen said slowly and carefully.
Along the way, he has matured even more.
In this strange place, Zhu Yunwen's first choice is safety.
Sun Cheng nodded in agreement: "Those who go south can return from half a month to extend the time, and those of us who go inland can advance inland along the river within a five-day journey, so that if there is really any danger, we can deal with it calmly." ”
Zhu Yunwen hummed, and the two seemed to have set a route plan for the future.
He silently turned around and looked out to the sea, and farther west.
"That should be the direction of the Central Plains."
Zhu Yunwen spoke softly, his tone did not fluctuate much, and he seemed to be just verifying a fact.
Sun Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said: "We went all the way north, crossed that strait, and then turned all the way south, it stands to reason that this direction is the Central Plains." ”
"It's so far away......"
Zhu Yunwen read in a low voice, and then said with some worry: "I don't know if the person who was sent back to deliver the message has reached Yingtian." I don't know when the imperial court will be able to send more people over if it knows. ”
The long distance cut off their connection with the Central Plains.
If it weren't for the hope of becoming a hero and the great temptation to go down in history, many people in this team would have given up long ago.
Zhu Yunwen turned his head sideways to look at Sun Cheng, who was standing side by side with him, looking at the sea.
"Old Sun."
"What's wrong?"
"You say...... How will they get over? Did you come on our biggest warship, or did you follow the path we took? ”
"I think they'll come along."
Zhu Yunwen once again looked at the sparkling sea with countless waves and laughed.
"We haven't traveled in vain."
……
During the month.
On the endless plain, a winding river crossed in front of Zhu Yunwen.
Herds of bison roamed along the grasslands.
Birds streak densely across the sky.
A few puffs of cooking smoke rose behind the hillside at the far end.
In the air, there was a low, faint sound.
Like bagpipes, ancient and vicissitudes.
"Someone!"
Sun Cheng squatted on the ground and turned his head to look at Zhu Yunwen, who was also squatting beside him.
His eyes were filled with excitement and an indescribable emotion.
Zhu Yunwen's hands clutched the ground under his feet tightly, and the dense weeds were clutched in his hands.
His face was already flushed with excitement.
Like Sun Cheng, Zhu Yunwen's face was full of excitement and excitement.
"Wash your face."
"Take a bath."
"Change your clothes."
"It's all good!"
A low but rapid voice came from Zhu Yunwen's mouth.
The officers and soldiers who had set up a camp from the seashore followed them and headed inland to this new land, and when they heard this, they immediately took action.
Zhu Yunwen slapped his hands on the ground twice.
He and Sun Cheng's plan was not wrong, and the strategy came true as scheduled.
There is indeed a human presence in this land.
The officers and soldiers soon rushed into the nearby river.
The clear water of the river changed color and became muddy in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng took off their clothes and walked into the flowing river.
Two standard daggers within the Ming army were held in the hands of the two of them.
With each swipe of the knife, large swaths of beard fell into the river and were carried into the distance.
As the subjects and soldiers of the most powerful country in the world, they did not allow Daming to appear for the first time in front of these natives, and it was an embarrassed appearance.
In the words recorded in history, it must also be described that they descended in front of these natives in the form of kings.
It wasn't until the originally sparse cooking smoke in the distance became dense that Zhu Yunwen and the others cleaned themselves up.
The neat and uniform attire is majestic and inviolable at a glance.
The dirt accumulated on his face by the wind and sun was scraped off by the back of the knife, and because he used too much force, he still looked a little red under his eyes.
"This is our Ming Dynasty, the first time to appear in front of the aborigines of this land, the king is majestic and benevolent."
"What we do today is all about what kind of attitude and means the imperial court will use to govern this land in the future."
"Whether it's war or the people's aspirations, it's all up to us today."
Zhu Yunwen turned his back to the continuous smoke, faced the 'new faces', and said with a serious expression.
Sun Cheng added on the side: "If the other party is hostile, take the lead in attacking, and you should remember the drills in the army." Defend first, then form a formation to end the battle as quickly as possible and clear the battlefield. ”
Kindness is good to goodness.
Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng hoped to maintain the royal benevolence of the Ming Dynasty in this new land, but if these natives were unwilling to submit to the Ming Dynasty.
Then war, an ancient skill that the Central Plains people have studied for thousands of years, will be displayed in this new land.
The officers and men immediately looked stunned.
Seeing that the mentality of the officers and soldiers had been adjusted, Zhu Yunwen smiled and waved his palm lightly towards the place where the smoke curled.
"Let's go!"
