Chapter 31: Zhu Fan Sets Out
Early the next morning, Zhu Yu came to Wulou.
The prince is not like Zhu Houzhao in later generations, if he is not in a good mood, he will sneak out of the palace to play, such as the official to the court, the prince needs to study the scriptures and learn the art of war every day.
Every time the prince turns ten, he has to go out of the cabinet to study.
The teacher in charge of the art of war in the main hall is the Zhan Shi Yuan sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, Hu Mei.
He also has an identity, Marquis Yuzhang.
Hu Mei was the prime minister of Jiangxi Province in his early years, and after being defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, he returned to Shun, Corporal Lixian, and the founding generals were all big and coarse, Hu Mei was good at fighting and knowledgeable, and was entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and Zhu Li's masters of the art of war are different, they are famous generals at the ceiling level of the Ming Dynasty, such as Xu Da and Deng Yu.
Li Rong was here early as yesterday.
Zhu Yu glanced at him and asked, "Why isn't my brother here today?" ”
"Cao Guogong has not yet evaluated His Royal Highness, and I am afraid that he will need to take the school examination."
"Say it."
"Does the King of Qi know the key to the north?"
"Of course Lone knows that my border defense of the Ming Dynasty starts from Hunshui in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, and there are Kaiyuan, Guangning, Daning, Beiping, Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, Ningxia, Pingliang, and Ganzhou."
The territory of the early Ming Dynasty was different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and the border towns were also different.
"Does the King of Qi know the establishment of the army?"
"Heh, you're too underestimated!"
"Your Highness should not underestimate these things, if the prince wants to use his arms to drive his army, he must also know it well."
"Small flag, general flag, 100 households ......"
After listening, Li Rong gradually increased the difficulty, but he never talked about the art of war, but what the generals had to do every day.
Drill non-commissioned officers, inspect military law, calculate grain and grass.........
Unlike Hu Mei, Li Rong is half a rough man.
But Li Rong is more graphic than Hu Mei, because this is what he has personally experienced, in the past, Li Wenzhong led his troops to defeat the battle of Chizhou Zhao Pusheng.
"I've learned all your skills, is there a more powerful person under the national account?"
"Naturally, there are, but they're all on the border."
"Hmph, my brother deceived me!"
…………
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows frowned, his eyes looked at the sparse music in his hand, as if he was stumped by it, and he was not in a hurry to pick up the pen to criticize red.
"We heard that King Qi went to the southern border guard?"
"The king of Qi shot more than ten lake thieves in the southern border guard, today Li Rong was admitted to the northern pass, when the general of the dynasty was famous, and now the Northern Yuan Dynasty is a fierce general, and the king of Qi is like a few treasures."
Li Wenzhong stood in the center of the Fengtian Temple.
"Back then, we only recognized our own names, which one of them, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Deng Yu, had ever read? A group of Huaiyou cloth clothes actually made us make contributions to the founding of the country. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang closed the sparse play, "A piece of paper is not true after all, and now there is an opportunity to temper it." ”
"Wu Sizang was protected by the Yuan Dynasty, and he submitted to those Yuan people in his heart, we want Tang He to inspect the northwest, suppress them, and then let Zhu Rong supervise the army."
Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, gave a jade seal to the eight Sipas of Wusizang, and gave him the title of Emperor of the Great Yuan.
That place has always been ruled by the temple, the local people are miserable, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the early years are like a broken mirror, the forces are divided, some hide in the grassland, some hide in the southwest, and some hide in Wusizang,
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to let Wu Sizang return to obedience.
The place where the imperial court could mobilize its troops was the garrison posts stationed in Qinghai and other places, but these garrisons had to defend against the barbarians from the north and avoid losing the Hetao area.
Therefore, additional reinforcements are needed.
The journey from the capital to Uszang is long and difficult, even if you overcome the road to Uszang, there is still altitude sickness waiting, in this case, the army is exchanged, but if the fate is not good, I am afraid that it will return to the west.
Li Wenzhong raised his head, "King Qi is young, is Wu Sizang too far away?" ”
"In our eyes, no matter how difficult it is, it is not as good as when we started from Huaixi, and Li'er and Di'er are not dangerous in the face of the Yuanren? Don't forget that they will all be the ones who will guard the border in the future. ”
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, difficulties can be overcome.
"The minister thinks that it is not the King of Qi who needs to be tempered."
If Zhu Yu was in the palace, he would definitely bow to Li Wenzhong in person, and then bless him with many sons and grandchildren.
Li Wenzhong continued: "The King of Qin took Jinglong to the Jiaofang Division, and he was almost punished by his mother, and the minister privately thought that the person who should be tempered was the King of Qin. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang had a straight face.
In this way, the people who traveled with Tang He were settled.
"What should Your Majesty do with the Wusizang nobles and monks who colluded with the remnant Yuan?"
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and said seriously: "Hang the heads of these nobles and monks on the pass of Beiping Mansion, and let those Tartars who infect our Ming Dynasty see what the fate of those who offend me is Ming!" ”
Li Wenzhong sighed lightly, turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Zhu Rong heard Zhu Biao say that Zhu Yuanzhang originally chose him to go to Wusizang to inspect, but under Li Wenzhong's advice, he was replaced by Zhu Zhang.
"Does the second brother know that he is going to Uszang?"
At this time, it was temporarily given to the palace of the King of Qin.
Zhu Fan has received the will of the imperial court, and he is overjoyed, and he heard that Wusizang is full of beauties like Guanyinnu.
Zhu Zhang's concubine Guanyin Nu was the younger sister of Timur in the previous dynasty.
Kuokuo was originally a Han Chinese, formerly known as Wang Baobao, and was later appreciated by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and given his name, and was Zhu Yuanzhang's most troublesome Yuan Dynasty general.
Zhu Rong's second concubine is the youngest daughter of Deng Yu, the famous general of the founding of the country.
Zhu Fan doesn't have many preferences, but he has a high pursuit of beauty, and there are more servants and maids in the Qin Palace's Mansion than in the Jin Palace, but he is not satisfied, and often asks Queen Ma for it.
This trip to Uszang can capture a large number of beauties.
The imperial army soon set out, and the battle was personally deployed by Zhu Yuanzhang to send back the good news before the winter.
Zhu Biao led his younger brothers to Xihuamen to see off Zhu Zhang.
Seeing that this brother was overjoyed, Zhu Yu was puzzled: "Does the second brother know what place Wu Sizang is?" ”
Zhu Fan did not feel unhappy on his face, but said a little proudly: "Of course I know, I heard that it is a barren land, it is very dangerous, and the seventh brother is not as good as me, so my brother will go on your behalf on this trip." ”
"Second brother, you have long been depressed by your father's discipline, this trip is inevitably indulgent, you still have to be very careful, defeat the enemy bravely, win all in the plan, remember not to send troops without a plan."
Zhu Biao is aware of the flaws of each younger brother.
Zhu Fan said: "My father has ordered their heads to be hung in Beiping Mansion, show them to those Tartars, and I will definitely kill a hundred heads!" ”
The young princes looked at Zhu Fan enviously, they also wanted to put on their battle armor and go into battle to kill the enemy, last time they sent away the third and fourth brothers, and now it is the turn of the second brother.
Although Zhu Fan is stubborn on weekdays, he is very protective.
The princes of the Great Hontang also came out to watch, they didn't know what Wu Sizang meant, but when they saw the excitement on King Qin's face, they also wanted to travel far away.
Zhu Rong saw Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong stood among the children of the princess, looked at Zhu Rong, his face was stunned, and Zhu Rong walked to his side.
"Could it be that the friendship between you and your second brother is already comparable to Jinshi?"
Li Jinglong ignored Zhu Rong's ridicule, didn't say a word, looked a little hesitant, and said for a long time before he said, "Your Highness, can you do me a favor?" In exchange, I helped His Highness persuade my father. ”
Faced with such a temptation, Zhu Yu did not agree immediately, but his face became vigilant: "You say first, you don't want to do anything against your father." ”
"Lu Xiong, the prefect of Yanzhou, was ordered by His Majesty to be beheaded by his family, I pleaded with King Qin before, but King Qin has not fulfilled his promise so far."
"Lu Xiong was the gentleman my father invited me in my early years, and I was later recommended to become the prefect of Yanzhou, I can't watch him end up like that."
Li Jinglong's eyes were red.
The second brother doesn't even care about his own business, but you still believe him...... Zhu Yu secretly complained.
"What crime did Lu Xiong commit?"
"Greedy... Corruption. ”
There's nothing to talk about, corruption is the most disgusting crime of my father, and how many people have died sitting in a row.
"Don't you know your father's determination to punish corrupt officials? Even the common people can escort officials to the capital to ask for guilt, and you still want to save him? ”
Zhu Yu sneered ruthlessly.
Li Jinglong's eyes were red, "Then can I ask Your Highness to help... Save his daughter. ”
