It's just that when the money and food were settled, Gu Xingzu was still taken aback.

After the Hu clan usurped power, they amassed a lot of money just in case.

In addition, there are also these Hu clan relatives who have been stolen, and their wealth is also immeasurable.

It will take a lot of time for the gold and silver to be searched for now.

However, the hoarded food was far beyond Gu Xingzu's imagination.

"General." Gu Xingzu rushed to find Zhu Gaoxu, and said happily: "Our grain and grass are sufficient, even if there are 50,000 horses in the four guards and one battalion, it is enough to supply ten or twenty years." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"The food of the people of Annam is far beyond our imagination." Gu Xingzu said: "This place is abundant, and the grain can be harvested three times, and most of it is fertile soil. ”

"It's not all...... Hu was afraid of the Ming Dynasty's expedition, so he prepared early, levied a lot of grain, just to prevent it, he prepared at least hundreds of thousands of food rations for two or three years, as well as other military supplies...... It's also quite a few. ”

Gu Xingzu grinned happily and said: "Fortunately, our attack is fast, these grains are intact, if it is a real fierce battle, a year or two, these grains will be slowly consumed by hundreds of thousands of Annamite, if the battle is tragic, I am afraid that a lot of grain will also be burned in the flames of war." ”

"Other than that...... There are other military ...... There are quite a few mules and horses here...... Of course...... These horses are not very useful as war horses, they are short in size and lack of strength, but if they are used as foot strength in the army, they are far enough. ”

At this time, his eyes were bright, and he counted the harvest like a treasure: "As for the gold and silver...... There were too many, and after the Hu family came to power, he used a large number of his cronies. I have led people to search more than 100 of them, as well as the inner treasury of the royal palace and the treasury of Annam...... Gold and silver add up...... It's also far beyond our imagination. ”

"Originally, I thought that this Annan was just a small country, and it must be very poor, who knows...... They are so rich. ”

Zhu Gaoxu also smiled, and said happily: "Okay, hurry up and search and make a book." ”

Gu Xingzu said: "What about those former ministers of Annan? There are many people among them, and they have colluded with the Hu family, but if they are wiped out......"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The eldest brother has already explained, let them perform their duties, you find out the situation of these people, and then ...... Register them, know their situation, and ...... in the future It can work for our firm. ”

"Okay."

With so much money and food, I am happy, but Gu Xingzu has a headache, to be honest, this workload is too much.

But Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care about these people.

There is also Qiu Song, who would rather go to dry his belly every day than care about other idle things, the four murderers in the capital, in addition to marching and fighting, are the four masters, therefore, the rest of the things are pressed on Gu Xingzu's body.

Poor Gu Xingzu is the youngest, and he doesn't even have a chance to complain.

He suppressed a little helplessness, nodded, and was about to leave.

At this time, Zhu Yong came in a hurry and said, "My father sent someone, my father sent someone." ”

I saw that Zhu Yong was leading a person in.

The man was very emaciated, and his clothes were ragged, and he staggered in.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "I am a lieutenant under the account of the Chinese army, and I am ordered by General Zhengyi to search for all the little generals...... It's just wonderful. ”

With that, he burst into tears.

This way into the hinterland of Annan, this captain is nine deaths, he did not dare to wear the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty, disguised as the people of Annan, broke through countless obstacles, and almost lost his life many times.

After a lot of hardships, it was finally ...... only to learn that Zhu Gaoxu and the others were not defeated, but won a big victory. Now he happily found Thang Long City and came to see Zhu Gaoxu and others.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him: "Zhu Neng, the general of Zhengyi, how many people did you send?" ”

"There are eleven of them...... But ......," the lieutenant said gloomily, "I'm only afraid...... Only I arrived here and the rest ......"

As he spoke, he hung his head and wiped away his tears.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "What is the situation of the Chinese army? ”

"I'm already preparing to enter the army, and I'm waiting for the follow-up grain and grass, I'm afraid it will take half a month."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Got it." ”

This man said: "I'm afraid that I still need to go back to the Chinese army, so that the general can know that you are okay, so you can rest assured." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was happy, and glanced at Zhu Yong.

Zhu Yong pulled the lieutenant over: "I see that you are very tired, so don't go back, stay here." ”

The lieutenant said, "This ...... This can't be done, the general is still waiting for news. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was very straightforward and said, "Come on, escort him down, and serve me well." ”

The lieutenant was shocked: "Ah...... This ......"

Several guards had dragged him out.

He also shouted: "Your Majesty has a military order with you, General...... Checkmate...... Own people ......"

When he couldn't see the figure of that person, Zhu Yong said with a smile: "Who is with him, my father is my father, we are us." ”

Zhu Gaoxu also said happily: "Let the soldiers have a good rest, the Chinese army is about to attack, but I am afraid that our news will not be hidden for long." Let's take down a Shenglong, it's not enough. Next, we must continue all the way to the south, conquer the city, and take the entire territory of Annan, which is not a single county left to the Chinese army! ”

"Hmph, if they want to rob us of our food and land, they want to be beautiful."

Zhu Yong also said with the same enemy: "Yes, now our enemy is not from Annan, and the one who should be guarded against the most is my father." ”

Zhu Gaoxu patted Zhu Yong's shoulder.

All of a sudden, he found the feeling of brotherhood...... My heart seemed to suddenly widen a lot.

So he said: "The second brother is really sensible, okay, let the soldiers have a good rest, except for the Han King Zhongwei stationed here, the rest ...... All of them rushed south, and our brothers divided their troops, taking advantage of the fact that they were leaderless, and quickly attacked the city! ”

It was agreed, and the next day they set out.

At this time...... The country in Annam has been shaken, and the dragons have no leader.

Fortunately, the Ming army seems to be at this time, only punishing the Hu clan for the first evil, and the rest of the ministers are all innocent.

In addition, there are many false rumors, at first it was said that the Ming army came with an army of 500,000, which later became 1 million, and then 3 million.

It was as if the endless sea of people had been stretched all the way south.

In addition, the Hu family was defeated overnight, and in Annan, it was already like a mourner, and he knew that he was invincible.

Therefore, it can be described as a god speed all the way to the army.

Everywhere he passed, the wind was invincible, and those who descended were like clouds.

Occasionally, there are some stubborn ones.

Their luck was not good.

Because they soon discovered that the vanguard of the Ming army were all elite, and the means of attacking the city were also frequent.

Dig a pit in the ground, take out the gunpowder bag, and bomb the city directly under the city.

This kind of bombardment could not break through the city walls, but it had a great impact on the defenders of the city.

Suddenly, the bombardment turned into a sea of fire, and most of the buildings in Annam were made of thatch and wood, so the city was suddenly burned into a fire, and the sky was full of shouts, which was unbearable to see.

Almost all the elites of the Annan Army were transferred to the north, facing the Ming Chinese Army, and the Annan Zhuzhou counties in the rear were just a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

It can be said that there is no way to fight back.

…………

Chinese Army.

Zhu Neng was so anxious that he had a toothache, he covered his cheeks, but none of the people he sent out to inquire came back.

So, several more guerrilla generals were ordered to attack the northern defense line.

But soon, they found that in order to trap that lone army, the Annamite people had strengthened the defenses of the north, and they were strictly guarded at many passes.

The losses of the Chinese army were not small, and Zhu Neng could not gamble directly with hundreds of thousands of troops, just to save his sons and nephews.

So in addition to cursing all day long, it was to wait for the follow-up steady stream of grain and grass, as well as the arrival of siege equipment.

After another seven or eight days, there was a strange situation ahead.

A guerrilla general on the other side of the Baihe River led more than 1,000 men and horses to attack the Annan military village at a pass, but found that this time...... The other side barely fought back.

Soon, the military fortress was breached, and the people of Annam fled.

He questioned the captives and said that the city of Thang Long had been broken.

Of course, he didn't dare to believe these words.

Until a day later, he easily took a military fort, and the other party's morale obviously fell to the bottom, and he had no intention of fighting.

At this point, the guerrilla general felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu looked at the letter, but they looked at each other.

"Could it be a suspicious ploy?"

"General, humble me...... This is highly likely! Hu is cunning and has to be guarded against. ”

Zhu Neng groaned and said: "In this case, you should be even more careful, and send a team of men and horses to cross the river tomorrow and continue to explore the truth." ”

Zhang Fu nodded.

Zhu Neng still felt a little uneasy, so he frowned and said, "You say, will those boys really hit the luck ......?"

Zhang Fu said: "Things are strange here, if it is a big victory, why don't they send someone to send news?" By now, traffic has been cut off and all the scouts have been lost. If they win, they will contact us. ”

Zhu Neng nodded and said: "My son, I know, you are right, if he wins, he will be eager to beat the gong and drum and teach everyone to know." ”

After that, he gritted his teeth and said: "This Hu family is really insidious and cunning, this despicable and shameless villain, if my son has anything to do, I will definitely kill him." ”

Zhang Fu also looked sad, his brother, there is no news so far!

He sighed silently, and then said: "The general is just recovering from a serious illness, so don't work so hard, let alone make a big fuss, it's important to nourish your body." ”

Probably when the body is not well, people are particularly easy to be sad, Zhu Neng's eyes were red, and he said with a little melancholy: "How can this teach people to cultivate their bodies?" Ay...... I'm ...... there."

After that, he sat down and muttered, "In the past few days, I have been so worried that I can't sleep...... My son, although he is messing around on weekdays, but his heart is still good, he is a dutiful son, don't look at it, but in his heart...... It's my dad everywhere. ”

As he spoke, tears fell uncontrollably.

Zhu Neng wiped his tears and said, "Teach you this kid to laugh." Ay...... I think this time he was so reckless, he must have wanted to show his face in front of me, young man, isn't it all this mind? ”

But when it came to the painful place, Zhu Neng choked up again: "But what about me, I'm really not a thing, I only beat him on weekdays and scolds him." Such a filial child, but I am so strict on weekdays, I am not a human being. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Neng scraped his ears and fanned his face.

Zhang Fu didn't stop him, and he felt like a big stone in his heart.

At this moment, someone suddenly came in a hurry.

"Report, report ......"

Zhu Neng put away his tears and looked at the captain who rushed in.

The captain said: "Our vanguard soldiers and horses have broken a pass, and they have reached Gaoping, I originally thought that there was a vicious battle, who knows...... The head of the city is actually the banner of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Later, when I inquired, it was said that Han Wangwei and Tiance Wei had conquered the city, and they had already occupied Thang Long City, and the nearby states and counties were looking at the wind! General Zhu led the main force all the way south to chase and kill the remnants of the Hu family. ”

Zhu Neng: "......"

Zhang Fu was a little unconvinced, and said, "How is it possible, isn't it...... A strategy to lure the enemy? ”

The captain smiled bitterly: "At first, I really thought it was to lure the enemy, but this Gao Ping won the ......."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu both glanced at each other.

That's right!

Even fools understand that luring the enemy is not like this, they are facing the Ming Chinese army, a lone army, and they can still trick people in, but the main force of the Ming Dynasty, they dare to give up the mountains in the north and lure the Ming Chinese army to the plains for a decisive battle.

The only possibility is ......

Zhu Neng slapped his thigh and shouted: "Order, order, Zhang Fu, you lead the left battalion and march immediately, and I will personally lead the Chinese army behind." ”

Zhang Fu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said, "Yes." ”

So the 100,000 army crossed the river overnight and went straight to Gaoping, the gateway of Shenglong City.

But when they arrived at Gaoping, the Tiance guard in the city did not open the door.

Zhang Fu called for a long time, but the other party only said that in order to prevent attacks, only the left battalion was allowed to be stationed outside the city.

Finally, the Chinese army waiting for the rear team to arrive.

Zhu Neng rode a horse violently, personally led the guards to the city, held a horse whip in his hand, and shouted to the people in the city: "Who is in charge here, come out to speak." ”

A general poked his head out: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Neng said: "Do you know who grandpa is?" ”

The general replied very directly, "I don't know." ”

"I'm Zhu Neng, the general of Zhengyi!" Zhu Neng said angrily.

The general said: "Your Majesty has seen the general. ”

Zhu Neng said: "Open the city gate for Lao Tzu, grandpa is tired and wants to enter the city to rest." ”

The general said: "But I was ordered to be here, and the order I received was that no one was allowed to enter the city, whether it was the Annan people or the Ming military horses, if one was put in, my head would be cut off." ”

Zhu Neng was furious: "Up? You are above my son, and you are afraid that he will cut off your head, are you not afraid that I will cut off your head? ”

The general said: "General, Zhu Yong's battalion officer, he has also given a special explanation. ”

Finally having the news of his son, Zhu Neng's heart warmed slightly, and his tone softened a little: "What do you say?" ”

"Zhu Yong's battalion official said that the king of heaven is not allowed to enter the city, and if the Chinese army comes, he will stay outside the city! also deliberately explained that even his father was honestly staying outside the city. ”

Zhu Neng: "......"

I saw that the general continued: "General, the humble is also acting under orders, and the general is angry." ”

Zhu Neng said angrily: "If you also have a son, and you treat his father like this, can you calm your anger?" ”

General: "......"

There was a roar from the city: "Into his mother, into his mother, this rebel, why did I give birth to such a little beast!" ”

He cursed for a while.

But there seems to be no way.

You said you should have fun, but Zhu Neng couldn't be happy.

You say swearing, it's like scolding the air.

At that moment, Zhu Neng said: "He is unkind to me and unjust, I want to impeach this little beast." ”

After dropping this sentence, he obediently beat the horse and left.

…………

Yisha knew that His Majesty's mood at this time was extremely bad, so he was careful in everything.

Every day or two, there is a recital from the front.

And these recitals, without exception, were all played by Zhu Neng and Gu Cheng.

These two army horses constantly explained the situation of the middle army and the right army.

Can...... There was no news about Zhu Gaoxu and a few people.

No news is the biggest bad news.

Zhu Di sometimes sat silently on the desk, with tears in his eyes, looking at Zhu Neng's recital, and muttering: "Zhu Qing's family...... 's mood is the same as mine, but he still can't bear the pain and never mention the matter of entering the army quickly...... I am both glad and sorry to have such a loving general. ”

At this time, he didn't dare to say a word.

In the middle of the sound, Zhu Di closed the recital, and said: "Speaking of which, it's still weird!" I am really confused, Zhang Anshi's plan is not wrong, the mistake is that Zhu Gaoxu, a rebel, should not be chosen as the commander, and now Zhu Yong, Zhang Xu, and Qiu Song have been harmed. ”

He stood up slowly, but with difficulty.

In the past few days, he has not returned to Da Nei, and he really has no face to face Queen Xu.

After another day, someone hugged Zhu Gaoxu's son in front of him, and looked at the infant child...... Naturally, I didn't know what was going on, but I was still grinning at him.

And Zhu Di, people can't hold back. Turning his head away, he wiped away his tears desperately.

People with temperament, when they encounter the pain of their loved ones, they will inevitably have greater emotions than others.

He took a breath, and then issued an order to order King Zhao to enter Beijing.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, did not actually settle in the domain, but out of trust in this young son, Zhu Di ordered him to guard in Beiping.

Holding 100,000 elite soldiers in Beiping, guarding against the outside of the pass.

At this time, he suddenly wanted to urgently edict Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, to enter Beijing, and he also knew that his majesty must have lamented that his second son might die in battle, so he thought of his three sons, and without one, he eagerly hoped that his sons were by his side.

So, he nodded hurriedly and said, "The slave will go and convey His Majesty's message to the General Administration." ”

Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "Let King Zhao come back to accompany his mother, the prince has a lot of things to do, and he can't often accompany his queen mother, so King Zhao can do it for him." ”

Zhu Di immediately said: "This second son of mine, except for being stupid, everything else is good, it's a pity...... I have been neglecting to discipline him in the past, if something happens to him this time...... He should restore his prince, lest he go to Emperor Taizu Gao with a guilty body. ”

I also lost Ha and wrote them down one by one.

"And Zhang Anshi." Zhu Di said: "What has Zhang Anshi been doing lately? ”

"He is very well-behaved and reads at home every day."

Zhu Di said faintly: "Tell someone to tell him, don't be afraid, I won't anger others, this matter ...... It's me and Zhu Gao...... It was the fault of me and the King of Han, I made the mistake of choosing the wrong commander, and Zhu Gaoxu made the mistake of rashly marching into the army. ”

Yisha said: "The slave will go to deliver His Majesty's message." ”

Zhu Di shook his head: "Tomorrow, the minister of the sect will meet you, and let the prince and Zhang Anshi also come to discuss the matter of conquest of Annan." Now many people want to urge Zhu Neng to enter the army, this matter is ...... I'm going to talk about it in front of the minister. ”

"The more this time now, the more we can't mess with ourselves, hundreds of thousands of troops are involved, and people who are not in the capital can talk nonsense! I don't even dare to make irresponsible remarks, how dare they? ”

After a pause, he added, "Tomorrow I will come to warn them about this invasion...... We must be cautious and never rush. Zhu Neng is responsible, and he has his own opinions. ”

With that, he waved his hand and signaled that he would leave.

…………

Zhang Anshi got up early the next morning, and his routine in the past few days has been much better.

And even the second phase of the house that is about to be launched is also planning to slow down for a while.

On weekdays, I don't go out, and I hide in the study every day to read Spring and Autumn.

Wait until Zhu Di wants to summon him.

He immediately changed into court clothes, and looked at the bronze mirror again and again, making sure that he was not always dressed crookedly as before.

Such dresses were cumbersome to put on, and required the patience of the servants to put them on properly.

Zhang Anshi doesn't like big men touching his body.

As for the women......

The princess sister of his family sent a few women to take care of her, but it was a pity that she ...... They are all older than Zhang Anshi's deceased mother.

I straightened my clothes and looked in the mirror again and again to make sure there was no problem.

Fang obediently went out, led some guards, and rode to the noon gate.

At this time, he met the crown prince.

Zhu Gaochi looked very tired, saw Zhang Anshi, and beckoned to Zhang Anshi: "Come." ”

Zhang Anshi obediently stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law." ”

Etiquette is like a ceremony, with a board and an eye.

Zhu Gaochi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't grieve. ”

Zhang Anshi nodded: "I don't grieve, no, I grieve......"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Don't be afraid when you see your father, your father has taught you not to be afraid." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded, and wanted to say something, but because of his haggard expression, he was stunned for a moment, but he was speechless.

Finally, he said: "You haven't been to see Junji these days, Junji misses you very much." ”

"I'll see you later."

"Hmm."

Other ministers also arrived.

Come and greet Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi only nodded, at this time, he did not have the previous affinity, but a little more arrogant.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's appearance, Xie Jin shook his head in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... Sure enough, he is not a person who does big things, he is too soft-hearted, and this time he was ...... Han Wang ...... No, it is really good that Zhu Gaoxu died in Annam, so why bother yourself.

He didn't have any expression on his face, in fact, he had already felt Xie Jin's alienation from him, and this feeling made his heart sink to the bottom, but at this time...... But it's still the same as if it's all right.

Wait for the people to enter the temple.

I saw Zhu Di in the martial arts.

There were twenty or thirty people who came, all of whom were civil and military ministers located in the center.

The ministers saluted...... Zhu Di only nodded.

……

A letter from Annan was quickly delivered to the palace.

This express performance is sent directly to the General Administration Department, and there is no need to go through the Ministry of War.

After getting the fast play, as soon as he saw the payment of Zhu Neng, the general of Zhengyi, the eunuchs of the Tongzheng Department did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed towards the Wulou.

……

Zhu Di took a deep breath, and he finally returned to his usual demeanor.

He smiled: "There are a few things today, let's discuss them together." Let's talk about Beiping first, I have issued an order, ordering Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, to return to Beijing, and there is a vacancy in Beiping. ”

Ministers, look at me, and I will look at you.

Zhu Di groaned: "This person has a great relationship, isn't there anyone who can be selected?" ”

It is inconvenient to make a suggestion to explain this matter a few times.

Even if it is published, Zhu Di will not listen.

Xu Huizu pondered for a moment: "If it really doesn't work, let the minister go." ”

Xu Da guarded Beiping that year and was responsible for the entire military against Guanwai.

And Xu Huizu is a stable person, and he is Zhu Di's eldest brother, even Xu Huizu knows that he may be the best candidate.

Zhu Di listened to it and said: "I also think about it, I should let Xu Qing go and guard Beiping, and the responsibility is not small." ”

Xu Huizu looked at Zhu Di, in fact, he wanted to say something when he was leaving, but at this point in time, he couldn't say anything.

Zhu Di said: "But there is no need to rush to set off, there are many generals in Beiping, all of whom I trust, and I will talk about it after Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, enters Beijing." ”

"Obey."

Zhu Di said again: "Regarding the matter of this expedition to Annan, I have received a lot of explanations, and there are different opinions, I have thought about it, and I still have to summon the secretaries to warn one or two, Annan's military affairs, in addition to grain, grass and supplies, I and the secretaries, there is no need to discuss anymore, and Zhu Neng, the general of the expedition, can take care of it." ”

Xie Jin and the others saluted: "The ministers obey the order." ”

Zhu Di's eyes fell on Zhu Gaochi: "In the past few days, I have been restless, in the future, except for the affairs of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, the rest of the matters can be handled by the prince himself, and there is no need to report everything, if there is anything, the prince and Wenyuan Pavilion and six departments will discuss and deal with it." ”

Zhu Gaochi saluted: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi deeply: "You don't have to be sad, there are always days in this world, do you know?" ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled reluctantly: "Erchen knows." ”

Zhu Di patted Zhu Gaochi's shoulder and said gently: "You are a simple person, but ...... You are a prince, and sometimes you can't be blindly generous, so master the measurements. ”

Zhu Di immediately said: "As for the matter of Zhu Gaoxu and others, I know that the hundred officials have already turned their heads and ears. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di's expression suddenly became solemn: "There are even people who say a lot of right and wrong in private, and some people gloat!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all of a sudden, the temple suddenly became tense.

Almost all of them held their breath.

Zhu Di's eyes fell on Xie Jin: "Xie Qingjia, you are a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, have you heard of these rumors?" ”

Xie Jin suddenly felt like a mang on his back, and he said cautiously: "Minister...... I haven't heard of it. ”

Zhu Di suddenly became furious: "Really? How could you not have heard? ”

……

Thank you for being the twentieth leader of this book, the tiger loves you, ask for a monthly pass!
