Everyone smiled, and then from beginning to end, An Cheng and Xu Miaojin were talking, talking about trivial things, and when Cheng Yuan sent Xu Miaojin out of the house, it was already dark.

"Do you want to open another study?" Out of the house, on the way back to the study, Xu Miaojin asked softly. Cheng Yuan nodded: "Yes, but I haven't chosen an address yet." ”

"Huh?"

"Heh, it's important to choose a location, you can lean near the academy, how can an illiterate farmer go to read the book, don't have that patience."

"You're very thoughtful." Xu Miaojin smiled and nodded, "Then you can decide and tell me." ”

"Don't worry, but you first deal with the matter of Dingguo Gong's forced marriage, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have the heart to take care of the study for me."

"I also have my share, take half of the money, and always have to do things." Xu Miaojin laughed casually, "Go back quickly." ”

He went all the way back to the mansion, and Xu Jingchang was ready to enter the palace.

When the imperial city reached martial law time, the armor-wearing Beijing troops took turns to be on duty, and it seemed that every day was repeated, the guards on duty, the rest of the rest, the banks of the Qinhuai River were still singing every night, and the small vendors in Fucheng were still busy for life.

In the bland, and everywhere is the atmosphere of approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, and the joy and relaxation of the New Year are only things that the princes and nobles can feel.

Xianning's marriage will be in the spring of the next year, from the first announcement of Zhu Di in July this year, the court and the central government have discussed this matter a lot, it is not in accordance with the etiquette law, it is not in accordance with the rules, it has damaged the face of the royal family, the town is mighty, and the first strange news of two princesses marrying one person in the Ming Dynasty has been brewing among all strata.

In the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace, the fragrance was curling, and Zhu Bai nodded: "Brother Huang, aside from the royal face, I hope that this child Xianning can get his own wishful husband because of this, and he is also happy to be an uncle." ”

Zhu Di took the time to hold the table, sat opposite Zhu Bai again, and said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold Cheng Yuan's mind, but now it seems that he is also a loyal person, but it is inevitable that someone will use him as a trick in the future." ”

Zhu Gaochu was dissatisfied with Zhu Di's broken promise, Zhu Gaochi's fat body had a worrying future, and the courtiers took advantage of the situation to fall on both sides.

"Since Brother Huang thinks that someone will take Cheng Yuan as a trick, why don't you stop it?" Zhu Bai didn't understand.

Zhu Di didn't speak, he had no evidence, and he wasn't sure who it was, and besides, the things these people did were not guilty to death, and the most important thing was to always weigh the pros and cons of the courtiers and find something for them to do.

If they have no obstacles and are too idle, then they will come to the emperor's affairs and fight with the emperor.

Zhu Di understands the reason.

In Zhu Bai's eyes, it was originally impossible for two daughters to marry a husband, and Zhu Di's character could never agree to it, but now it has happened. But why don't you just purge the villains of the Qing Dynasty, after all, you have to reuse and cultivate Chengyuan.

The attendant on duty came in and passed the message: "Your Majesty, Chengyuan, the prince of Zhenguo, has brought the son of the prince of Dingguo, and Xu Jingchang is waiting outside the palace for summons." ”

"Let him come in." Zhu Di got up, walked to the middle of the hall, stood with his head held high, and looked at the palace door.

Cheng Yuan, who was wearing a black gauze official, was in front, and the young Xu Jingchang followed behind, and the two crossed the high threshold of the main hall one after the other, bowed and said, "Your Majesty in two days." ”

"Today is all my own family, no need to be polite, sit down." Zhu Di pointed to Zhu Bai on the side.

Cheng Yuan saw Zhu Bai, and the two exchanged smiles with simple eyes, and then sat down.

"Chaohu Yu family, I agree. But over there in Shandong, Zhu Ji is not a climate, who should go to those small lake islands? The land of Taihu Lake also needs to train anti-Japanese guards? ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Chaohu Yu family, Daming Shui Shi is from the Yu family, followed Emperor Taizu, fought the land of Chaohu, crossed the river with the army, defeated Chen Youliang, and decided to fight Jiqing, deep-rooted and experienced.

The descendants of the Yu family did not insult the ancestors, a father and son of four, and the public is hereditary, why not cultivate them and contribute to eastern Zhejiang and Shandong. ”

In addition to the Tatar Department and the rise of the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is the coastal Wako, during the Hongwu period, the officials thought that the barbarian land, there was no need to spend a lot of soldiers to send troops, and the Yuan Sea Disaster was wiped out as an example, and it was obstructed many times.

The Japanese are now allied with the Han water bandits, and have invaded the coastal people many times, and they are arrogant.

"Zhen Guogong, you are not an outsider, Chaohu Lake is easy to say, but Taihu Lake is infested with bandits, I am afraid that you must be exterminated before you can use Taihu Lake to train anti-Japanese guards." Xu Jingchang said.

Xu Zengshou was in charge of the Governor's Mansion of Zuodu, and Xu Jingchang followed his father, and he also knew about the infestation of water bandits in Taihu Lake.

"Shandong boundary, surrounded by Liangshan into water, called Liangshanbo, there are also mountain bandits here, as long as they are collected as their own to be used as anti-Japanese guards, there is a village there, called Liangshanzhai, I heard of it when I got rid of locusts."

Zhu Bai hurriedly added, thinking that he should talk to Zhu Di about this matter.

In the past, the imperial court directly sent troops to suppress the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and this was the first time to establish anti-Japanese guards, especially on several lakes, Zhu Bai and Xu Jingchang were particularly concerned about this matter.

The Japanese are powerful on the water, and the one who can compete with them is the Yu family, and the Yu family is the main force in the Daming Water Division.

The Yu family is very special because of the Chaohu Water Master, and the Yu family's disciples, students, apprentices, descendants, women, and subordinates are all concentrated in the Chaohu Water Master, which can be said to be independent.

Like a piece of steel, the knife can't be inserted, and even becomes one alone, the old noble, except for the order of the Son of Heaven, no one can control it.

Zhu Di doesn't like this kind of uniqueness, and the Yu family has a lot of discussions about him being the emperor, and there will be emotional resistance.

But looking up, it seems that except for the Yu family, there is no army that can compete with the Japanese invaders.

The last time Cheng Yuan reminded him that he could build an anti-Japanese guard, Zhu Di attached great importance to this matter, and since Qiu Fu came back with the army, he reflected on the strategy of using troops, and felt that the anti-Japanese guard must be built into an army.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jingchang and Zhu Bai proposed that there were water bandits in the waters of Taihu Lake and Liangshan in Shandong, and they had a headache at the moment.

"You can transfer Yu's family to go."

Zhu Bai said: "You are confused! ”

Cheng Yuan didn't understand why he was confused.

Zhu Di said: "Do you remember who died in the battle of Jingnan Baihegou? ”

"There are ...... dead" Cheng Yuan thought of that character and suddenly stammered, their new martyrdom and the Yu family had a holiday.

Now the Yu family has returned to Yongle, but they have no good impression of the heroes of Jingnan.

Yu Tingyu formed Chaohu Lake at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, pulled up a naval army, and later took Yu Tonghai, Yu Tongyuan, Yu Tongyuan and other three brothers to submit to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Soon, Yu Tingyu died in battle, but in the battle of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the three brothers of the Yu family made many achievements, among which Yu Tonghai was the most prominent, and saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life in the Battle of Poyang Lake.

In the twenty-seventh year of Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang died in battle, and Zhu Yuanzhang was posthumously crowned the Duke of Yu Guo and buried in Qijiapo, the northwest side of Yuhuatai in later generations.

And Yu Tongyuan has always been alive, and in the Battle of Baihegou in the Battle of Jingyan, as a courtier of the Jianwen Dynasty, he was killed.

At that time, the children of the Yu family are now obedient to the imperial court, and they do not hate Zhu Di, but they hate the heroes of Jingnan, and they will inevitably have a grudge.

Zhu Di said: "The Yu family is a brother in the war, a father and son soldier, the Yu family's naval army is united, this naval army is used well, it will be the most effective in resisting the Japanese, if it is not used well, it can only be counterproductive."

Therefore, I also pinned my hopes on the anti-Japanese defense that Cheng Yuan said. ”

Letting the Yu family obey the training of Chengyuan's naval army is tantamount to climbing to the sky, so they opened another way to train the anti-Japanese guards.

But now, Cheng Yuan still wants to use the land of Chaohu, I'm afraid the Yu family will never agree.

Zhu Di once thought of adopting himself and Empress Xu to marry Princess Kangning, the daughter of the general of Beiping, but the Yu family refused.

Subsequently, the Xu family also tried to marry, but they were all refused.

Among the three places of anti-Japanese defense, there are water bandits in two places, and there is the Yu family in Chaohu, which is really a tricky thing.
