sent away Fang Xiaoru and Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Xiongying poured a big mouthful of Shiquan Tonic Soup, carrying a clay pot, he pursed his lips stiffly, his eyes were sad and angry, and he clenched his fists as if he had made a great determination: "Anyway, it's all out of the way." ”

"Ome, go and call Yuhe and Zhang's ......"

Zhu Xiongying put down the clay pot, his face resolute, like a dead soldier who was about to go to the battlefield.

Zhou Kuan's body trembled.

"Little Lord, you want to ...... again"

Zhu Xiongying said righteously: "Yes, but I'm not lustful, who is a serious person?" Cheap! ”

"I'm here to maintain my health, just because an immortal told me in my dream that seeing beautiful women every day can prolong my life."

"Now that my body has almost exercised, only beauty is my weakness."

"I still want to challenge my weaknesses......"

He sighed and poured another sip of the Ten Perfection Tonic Soup, and sighed: "As long as I live long enough, there is hope for Daming, for Daming, what is it to suffer from this?" ”

After saying that, he turned around, turned his back to Zhou Kuan, sobbed slightly, and waved his hand at him.

"Go for it......"

After Zhou Kuan left, Zheng He stepped forward and said suspiciously: "Little master, why should you be worried about your complexion and health......

Zhu Xiongying picked up a bronze mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, and sighed: "Woohoo, you don't understand, ugly, long-lived, handsome, fast-old, a handsome and knowledgeable person like me, God will be jealous, so I am always reminding myself to pay attention to health, for fear that God will take me away......"

"Even if God doesn't accept it, I'm afraid that the villains will think about it."

"Is there an eight-year-old prodigy emperor in the world?"

"Some people, with light in their blood, are born destined to shine."

Zheng He was stunned for a moment.

After drinking all the Ten Great Tonic Soup, and eating all the great tonic things in it, Zhu Xiongying's eyes lit up with a full burp, and patted his belly, not bad, he absorbed enough nutrients, and it was okay tonight.

Looking at his cheeks in the bronze mirror, Zhu Xiongying patted his face: "Huh, I'm afraid of being serious, it's better to be so informal." ”

……

Since the ninth year of Hongwu, Xu Da has rarely participated in political affairs.

He repeatedly said that he was sick and could not go to the court, and his son Xu Huizu became more and more valued by the saint Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da was extremely interested, and it was time to abdicate and make way for Xian. Second, he was injured all over his body, as one of the fiercest generals of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da was by no means a simple general, he was wise and brave, knew the book of soldiers, had a strategy, was familiar with the book of soldiers, and was brave in battle.

Unlike Chang Yuchun, who often attacked single-handedly, Xu Da and the Yuan army faced off, and liked to use elite troops, especially heavy cavalry equipped with a large number of elite iron armor, to attack the Yuan army's middle army, or to impact the most anxious battlefield between the Yuan army and the Ming Dynasty.

Some people in later generations thought that the Yuan army was the kind of person wearing tattered leather armor, holding a scimitar, and riding a horse whistling and rushing over, but in fact, Meng Yuan initially fought against the Liaojin with heavy armor, especially the Jin people with Tiefutu, the iron armor of the Jin people repeatedly hit the Southern Song Dynasty, how easy is it? They fully absorbed the advantages of Liaojin armor, and the elite cowardly Xue army was equipped with heavy armor and was not afraid of arrows.

When destroying the Western Xia, the Beiwei army of the Western Xia was also equipped with heavy armor, and the elite small special forces with skilled archers and horses, and the cowardly Xue army of Meng Yuan defeated them head-on on the battlefield with cavalry against cavalry, indicating that their heavy armor was ahead of East Asia at that time.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the capture of the Song people's crossbows, heavy infantry armor, artillery, and the Yuan army's equipment to a new height, plus their conquest of Central Asia and West Asia, swept thousands of miles, and integrated the length of the armor of all ethnic groups, so the Yuan army's elite troops were actually very high, and it was the first in the world at that time.

Looking at the early Ming Dynasty, the stone statues in front of the tombs such as Xiaoling knew the shape of the armor of the Yuan army at that time, because the early Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan system.

At this moment, Xu Da was dressed plainly, like an old farmer, sitting curled up in the courtyard of the house, holding a scroll, tasting tea and reading.

His hair is gray and his eyes are indifferent, he is wearing simple cloth clothes, and his figure is still majestic, but it is inevitable that he is a little rickety, and the perennial southern and northern wars have made Xu Da suffer from rheumatism and stomach diseases, frozen shoulder, joint disease, and there are many dark diseases on his body, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty, the artillery of the Shenji Battalion has been very sharp, and many of the artillery of the Shenji Battalion are also the captured Yuan army's baggage.

"Ahem."

After reading the book for a while, Xu Da was about to cough lightly.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps.

Xu Da looked back, Li Shanchang was still wearing court clothes, smiling slightly, carrying a jar of old wine in his hand, gently patting the old wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xu Weigong, can you still drink old wine and age?" ”

Xu Daguo's face is also broad and kind, these Ming Dynasty founding generals Tiantuan, especially the martial artists, are all kind and kind, but they are their second-generation disciples, all of whom are domineering and full of domineering.

"I think that today's joyful bird will be diligent and there will be a noble visit, it turns out that Li Hangong is coming, the burrow is in the woods, please sit down."

Although he smiled, Xu Da coughed again.

Seeing Xu Da's appearance, Li Shanchang frowned, stepped forward to support him, and the two sat down in the pavilion together, Li Shanchang put down the old wine, and asked solemnly: "Tiande, your body is getting weaker and weaker." ”

Xu Da grinned, put the scroll on his lap, and said with a smile: "You and I are already in the age of knowing what is wrong, and now we are still alive, it is nothing more than greedy for the wealth of the world and unwilling to leave, people, there is always a day when they die." ”

When Li Shanchang heard this, his eyes flickered, and he didn't answer.

Xu Da is very cautious, and he is one of the people most appreciated by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty's founding generals, because Xu Da understands Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts very well.

At that time, he and Chang Yuchun besieged Emperor Yuan Shun in Kaiping, Xu Da released an opening in the encirclement, but let go of Emperor Yuan Shun and did not catch him.

Xu Da smiled and told Chang Yuchun: "The enemy chief has been the lord of the north for a long time, and he has tried to dominate the country of thousands of miles, even if you and I capture it, how will the saint deal with it?" Crowned as a prince of Taiping? Or kill them? ”

Xu Da thought that Emperor Yuan Shun had been the lord of the north for a long time, and he had ruled over thousands of miles of territory, and he was caught, Zhu Yuanzhang would neither make him a prince of Taiping and raise him in captivity, nor would he kill him, rather than this, it was better to let him go.

First, at that time, the Northern Expedition front of the Ming Dynasty was too long, the logistics could not keep up, and he was unable to continue the pursuit, leaving the Yuan Lord.

Second, Han Lin'er's old events are vivid, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also canonized by the Yuan Lord......

What's more, Xu Da is familiar with Bingtao Wuluo, doesn't he smell all the birds, the good bow is hidden, and the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks?

Caught the master, they have a lot of credit, and it was the most dangerous at that time......

And Xu Da is also well aware of the characteristics of the nomadic people of Mengyuan, the Northern Yuan still has a territory of thousands of miles in the northwest, and it is not something that can be destroyed overnight, the war of the country of ten thousand times against the country of ten thousand times will always be fought with national strength, and when the northern lord escaped from the capital, he neither set fire to the city, nor did he kill and loot, and he is also a smart person, the Northern Yuan has one less Yuan Shun Emperor, and there will be other leaders on the throne, rather than letting other fierce and warlike leaders continue to harass, this only knows how to escape the docile Yuan Shun Emperor is undoubtedly better.

Facts have also proved that after Emperor Yuan Shun fled to Shangdu, he did not organize troops to march south to fight with the Ming Dynasty, but he ran as soon as the Ming Dynasty came, and he ran as soon as he came, so that the Ming Dynasty always had the strategic initiative.

In the court, Xu Da never made friends, for Li Shanchang, he replied with the recklessness of martial artists, and for Chang Yuchun and other military generals, he used literati wisdom to advise.

After pondering Xu Da's words for a while, Li Shanchang sighed: "This afternoon, the Holy Lord convened a great court meeting, firstly, to move to Jiangxi, and the refugees from the south of the Yangtze River to fill Yunnan, and secondly, to set the first five-year plan of my emperor. ”

"Five-year plan?"

Xu Da put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Li Shanchang suspiciously.

After Li Shanchang and the others left, his eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "The words of the saint, if you want to spend five years to clean up the officials, this strategy is good, but there are hidden worries." ”

"Wenchen military generals, many people who have been honored, and now most of the local corrupt people are former officials, or they are founding veterans, I am worried that the world will be in chaos because of this......"

Li Shanchang's hidden worries are not unreasonable......

In that year, the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty captured the capital of Yuan, but did not capture the dock fort of the landlords and gentry in the north, to put it simply, the large and medium-sized cities were in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but the land of towns and towns, especially a large number of rural grain-producing areas, were in the rule of the dock fort of the emperor of the countryside, and they mostly gathered in clans, resisted the tax collectors, and did not pay grain.

In the north, this abounds......

In some places, there are hundreds or thousands of clansmen in the family, and they are well-equipped, there are also knives, guns and clubs, and they secretly hide armor. Many officials and county masters are the people of their clan, otherwise the officials are not stable, these people have been entrenched in the north for many years, the clan party has become a trend, like the Daidi, Qindi, Yandi, there are many clan dock forts, many are built in places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, the government sends troops to suppress, they hide in the mountains, unless they send a regular army to encircle and suppress, it is difficult to capture.

Local officials, in order to stabilize the political situation, also turn a blind eye.

Li Shanchang is the general logistics minister of the Ming Dynasty, the prime minister for many years, he is very clear about these things, and there is no problem with cleaning up the officials, but the Ming Dynasty is now short of money and food everywhere, and these officials must be used all the time......

How can it chill the hearts of heroes?

Xu Da looked at Li Shanchang with a light smile, he had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, and he knew the thoughts of the saint very well.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, he wanted to catch those little flies at the bottom, but he couldn't catch them.

Zhu Yuanzhang's five-year rectification of officials is afraid that he is staring at these senior officials in the DPRK and the central government, and he is not targeting the officials of the world......

Especially the Wen Party headed by Li Shanchang, these people are both referees and athletes, they are responsible for collecting taxes and collecting grain, and when there is a disaster in the place, they also go to open warehouses and release grain...... Guarding the gold mountain alone, it is inevitable that the eyes are hot. Xu Da knows very well that there are few civil officials who are honest and honest, and everyone is full of their own pockets, if you are not corrupt, you will be excluded by your colleagues.

With the fifteen years of peace in the world, the civil party has gradually shown signs of suppressing the generals, very simply, the money and grain logistics, governing the world, are all civil parties, these years there have been many civilian officials to intercept the military food and military salaries transported to the northwest, as a matter for the local government to use for their own use.

But the thinking of the local civil servants is, you can't use us and other literati to treat us as cattle and horses, and prevent us from being corrupt, right!?

This landlord's donkey, it still has two taels of fine grain to eat!

After all, more than 100 years after the former Yuan Dynasty, the officials all played like this, the Ming Dynasty quickly pacified the world, and quickly received and accommodated a lot of former Yuan officials, these people are experts in exploiting the people and searching for the people's fat and ointment for the masters of Mengyuan, the tradition has been hundreds of years, and the whole world has only been stable for more than ten years.

It seems to be a stubborn disease of the tarsal bones, which has penetrated deep into the bones, which takes time......

I'm afraid that the crown prince, or when the crown prince Zhu Xiongying ascends the throne, can he free up his hands to comprehensively clean up the officials......

"Li Hangong, I think your words are wrong."

Xu Da squinted and glanced at Li Shanchang deeply.

"The Holy One is the genius of heaven, don't you know that you and I are worried?"

"The worry of the saint lies in the world."

"Thousands of miles of cars and books are mixed, how can there be any other frontier in the south of the Yangtze River, and on the West Lake, the first peak of Wushan will be immediately raised!"

"This gold lord finished Yan Liang's poem, and I gave it to Li Hangong."

Xu Da picked up a cup of tea and said with a smile: "I won't leave Li Hangong for dinner, I have been in seclusion for many years, I don't ask about court affairs, now the person who thinks about it is only three meals a day, and the person who listens to the morning bell and dusk drum, nothing to worry about, nothing to ask for, Li Hangong please!" ”

After that, he drank all the tea, stood up and sent off Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang smiled bitterly, drank the tea, returned the salute, and walked away slowly.

Xu Da's eyes looked at the old wine brought by Li Shanchang on the table, this is the old wine they brewed when they were in Haozhou, it was brewed by Li Shanchang's life, every time there is a great victory after the meritorious deeds, the meritorious person can drink this wine, Li Shanchang came to visit with this old wine, is to ask Xu Da not to forget the old people, not to forget the old things.

Therefore, the sword is deep, so the wine is intoxicating......

Xu Da picked up this jar of old wine, and his broad cheeks showed a sigh, he looked at the back of Li Shanchang walking slowly, stroked the jar of wine with his hand, and sighed in a low voice: "Relaxation should be wine, and there is no more poetry than poetry, Li Hangong knows what I do......"

Putting down the old wine, the god of war of the Ming generation coughed a few times, only to feel unbearable pain all over his body, but he still looked indifferent, just biting the masseter muscle of his cheek tightly to relieve himself. The heavy armor at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was very heavy, weighing about sixty or seventy pounds, especially the heavy armor of the generals, multiple protection, even heavier, long-term armor covering, the body was inevitably rheumatism and bone pain, and the joints were inflamed, especially the shoulders, neck and knees, Xu Da smiled lightly and laughed at himself, maybe his time was running out.

He looked at his son Xu Huizu, who was gradually coming over, and then looked at the jar of old wine given by Li Shanchang, and secretly scolded Li Shanchang in his heart, an old fox, knowing that he was a person who cherished the old love, or he said that the literati were sinister.

His eyelids curled up and smiled, Xu Huizu was burly and strong, quite a bit of his shadow when he was young, and he couldn't help but think of how he looked when he was young and fought in all directions.

"The house is full of gold and jade, Mo Zhi can keep it, rich and proud, he is to blame, Li Hangong ......"

Xu Da sighed and put down the wine jar.
