Zhu Di didn't think it was wrong, but smiled, "Oh, I found out so soon? How, do you have an opinion? Do you dare to disobey? ”

Of course Zhu Gaoxian didn't dare, he took two steps forward, walked up to his father, and said, "Dad, you are the superior, the important thing is to let the people below do their own duties, the responsibilities are clear, you have something to do out of the city, the person who should be the supervisor is the son, not the son." ”

"Dad, you just take back your life and let the eldest brother do it, what does this have to do with your son?"

Zhu Di sighed, looking very tired, he leaned on the Luohan bed, raised his hand and rubbed his head, Zhu Gaoxian hurriedly went over to help him pinch his shoulder, "Dad, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"Your father and I are forty years old, and after nearly twenty years of fighting, my father is old, look at the white hair on my father's head. You say, this matter has nothing to do with you, fourth, you are my son, Zhu Yunwen sent someone to lead an army of 500,000 to besiege Beiping, if you are not careful, our father and son will have to take your mother together to see your grandfather and grandmother underground. You say, does this have anything to do with you? ”

"Your eldest brother is not in good health, and he has to be helped to walk, if Li Jinglong comes, your eldest brother drags that body, do you want him to run through nine doors? Can you bear to see your eldest brother's body have three lengths and two shorts in the future? ”

"Son, there is a saying that those who can work harder, if you don't have so many skills, I will hand over the work of guarding the city to your eldest brother, your mother is also a tiger girl, let your mother help your eldest brother more. But since you have such a great ability, you can't even think of helping your father and me? ”

Zhu Gaoxian saw the white hair on his father's sideburns at a glance, and his nose suddenly became sore, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that her son was sad, Xu Shi hurriedly pushed Zhu Di, meaning, it's almost over, don't fool her son into a cripple, she said to her son, "Your father is not young anymore, good boy, you can help your father." Don't worry too much, and me and your big brother, we'll help you. “

What else could Zhu Gaoxian say, he had to agree.

The next day, after sending Zhu Di out of the city, Zhu Gaoxian came to the conference hall, and Zhu Gaochi and Guo Zi led the people.

"Fourth brother, Li Jinglong will arrive soon, after he arrives, he will definitely attack, there are only 10,000 soldiers left in the city, and ...... We are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and we need to plan ahead. Zhu Gaochi explained the situation.

Zhu Gaoxian thought for a while and said, "When Li Jinglong comes, he should be stationed in Hejian Mansion first, Beiping is a total of 400 miles away from Hejian, and the rapid march will take four days. At present, it will take more than ten days for his army to reach the river, and in these ten days, we are enough to prepare! ”

Zhu Gaoxian glanced at it, and now his father's team, said, "There are two things to prepare, one is to defend the city, this matter is handed over to the eldest brother, eldest brother, you are the son of the world, the successor of the future father, Beiping is our old nest, there can be no mistakes, I don't worry about this matter to anyone, I will hand it over to you, eldest brother." ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, "Fourth, didn't my father hand it over to you?" ”

Zhu Gaochi also has his own selfishness, his father went out on the expedition and handed over the entire Beiping City to the fourth child, which is equivalent to letting the fourth child supervise the city, but he is the son of the world, isn't his father slapping him in the face?

Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to fight back, otherwise his father would chop off his hand, no, it would kill him directly.

The best way is to let the fourth brother slap his father's face, and it is best that if the fourth brother has something wrong, he will turn the tide, so as to dispel some of his father's thoughts at one time.

"Dad is just talking, besides, Dad also asked you and Lao Guo to assist me. Big brother, don't forget your identity as the son of the world, your father's family business depends on you to inherit! ”

Dao Yan sat aside, smiling, and nodding his head.

There is nothing wrong with what Zhu Gaoxian said, Zhu Gaochi is so knowledgeable, how can a person who is Ming Dali not accept this job?

"Yes, fourth brother, leave the matter of defending the city to the eldest brother!" Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the fourth brother was not a fool, and Li Jinglong's 500,000 troops came to come, which was not a small number.

"Big brother, nine city gates, each city gate will be equipped with two gunners, at that time, I will be equipped with two artillery pieces and ten shooters at each city gate."

Zhu Gaochi gasped again, the fourth brother has arranged it so properly, so what else do you want him to do? But now is not the time to compete with his younger brother for credit, if the city is broken, they can be killed by the neck of the Yan Wang's Mansion.

Thinking of his father's repeated advice before leaving, Zhu Gaoxian said one more sentence, "Big brother, stick to it!" ”

"Big brother knows!" Zhu Gaochi didn't leave, he had to wait to see what other arrangements his brother had.

"Lao Guo, the matter of supervising the autumn harvest will be handed over to you, before September 10, the work of rushing the harvest will be completed, and all the households near Zhengba Village will carry grain into the city."

"Why?" Guo Zi summed it up, there are a lot of households in that area of Zhengba Village, not a small number, all of them have entered the city, how to resettle?

"Li Jinglong will first garrison the army in the river, and his father will withdraw the troops of Lugou Bridge, Li Jinglong will inevitably approach the Beijing Division, this person has no plan, coming from the south, in order to prevent his father from coming back from Daning, he will inevitably camp in Zhengba Village, and in the future, a battle with Li Jinglong will start in Zhengba Village. Do we still have to leave rations for them? ”

Zhu Gaoxian's eyes fell on Jin Zhong, this person was nearly fifty years old, with an honest face, at this time it was just an inconspicuous long history document in the Yan Wangfu, but Zhu Gaoxian knew that this person was familiar with the art of war, good at strategy, and extremely loyal.

"Jin Zhong, the preparations for war in the city will be left to you. In a day or two, you should prepare one thing first, find a few empty houses to come out, and I will be useful. ”

Jin Zhong's face showed a hint of surprise, he stood up unhurriedly, and arched his hand, "Fourth prince, I don't know what you want to do?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian did not feel that he was provoking himself, but praised this person for his thoughtfulness, "First, in a well-ventilated and brightly lit place, I will use it as an arms workshop, the production of cannons and firearms; Second, where the crowd is a little denser, I will use it to set up a workshop and rush to make clothes; The former needs more men who can do it, and the latter needs more women who can do it. ”

Jin Zhong understood, his eyes lit up, "Fourth prince, in one day, the subordinates will be properly settled." ”

"You need to choose the right person to work, two meals a day, and ten cents of wages, and in the future, these two workshops will be supervised by you."

"Yes!"

Zhu Gaoxian looked at Li Rang again, "Second brother-in-law, I will leave the matter of purchasing to you, mainly buying cotton and wool." ”

Li Rang is the husband of Zhu Gaoxian's second sister Yongping County Lord, who is a straightforward and well-written corporal, and is deeply liked by Zhu Di.

Li Rang was puzzled, "Fourth uncle, what are you doing when you buy cotton and wool?" The smell of wool is fishy, who of us can stand it? “
