Chapter 35: The Moving "Target"
Li Rong is a conscientious subordinate.
He bowed down and said: "The last general will not slack off because of the identity of the king of Qi, Guogong said that the deployment of troops is only one of the steps,
"Skill and courage are as important as the art of war, and in the future, the last general will still teach King Qi the art of archery!"
The venue is still at the South Frontier Post.
This time, a group of heinous prisoners were captured.
Li Rong pointed to the prisoners and said, "The Japanese have been haunting the Yuan Dynasty, and they have invaded the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, plundering the silk and silver of the merchants. β
This was simply looking for death at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
Because the capital of the Ming Dynasty is still in Nanjing, the emperor is precisely Zhu Yuanzhang, who can be said to be the Son of Heaven guarding the country.
Li Ronghong said: "These short-sighted widows dare to reach out to the imperial court's shipping boats. β
Zhu Yan glanced at it, and all of them showed fierce eyes: "Why didn't my father send troops to fight against them?" β
Li Rong turned around, "Your Majesty once wanted to move troops to conquer the Wa Kingdom, but Hu Xiang persuaded him to stop, on the grounds that even if the land of Wa Island is a small projectile, even if the booty obtained from winning the battle is not enough to cover the expenses of the army. β
"Moreover, the land of the Ming Dynasty is cleared, and there are not enough strong men, so it is not suitable for military service, where is there any surplus young Zhuang sent to Wadao."
The Japanese used the sea as a way to make a living, just like the Tartars in the north.
Later generations said that in the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, there were two disasters in border defense, one was the northern Tatars, and the other was the coastal pirates.
"If my father knew that future generations would have been harassed by the Japanese for more than 200 years, he would regret not doing it at the beginning." Zhu Yu pondered.
At this time, Li Rong ordered people to untie the shackles, some of these would-be robbers ran to the mountains, some fierce and vicious people ran to grab Zhu Rong's war horse, and some people went to grab weapons.
Li Rong's voice was like a bell: "Please Your Highness get on the horse and shoot them!" β
This is to train me to shoot moving targets.
Zhu Yu's eyes were cold, he rode his horse and ran, bent his bow and shot arrows, and these would-be robbers fell down with the sound of stray arrows.
"Where did these pirates come from?"
Li Rong said: "In Songjiang Mansion, the Japanese are bolder than the captives in the north, and after they go ashore, they disguise themselves as ordinary people, and it is difficult for the government to find them. β
"Is there a possibility?"
Zhu Yan looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "Some of them are ordinary people. β
Li Rong was obviously asked.
He said again: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, rest assured, all the widows in Songjiang Mansion have been arrested. β
"When you find one, there are already thousands of people in the shadows, if this king is a thief, this king will dock the ship on a small island in the sea, wait for the autumn to be fat, and then lead his subordinates to help the people out to do a vote." Zhu Yu reminded.
Li Rong looked embarrassed and said: "This matter can only be played by the Zhongshu Province, and the last general is a military attachΓ©, so it is inconvenient to present it to the court, and I am afraid that even the Guogong is inconvenient to speak." β
Zhu Yu could only give up, after all, the imperial court might not have the strength to deal with them.
I looked down and found that there was an extra cut in my hand at some point.
β¦β¦β¦
Back in the palace, Zhu Yu found Zhu Lu and supported the dream of a healer in this way.
"Fifth brother, I'm injured."
Zhu Hu was very happy today, and he dragged out the big black wooden box from under the bed.
"Seventh brother, the fourth brother is going back to Beijing, and the father has set a family affair for the fourth brother, and she is the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong."
Zhu Yan sighed: "The fourth brother sent a message to you?" β
Zhu Huan shook his head: "The royal brothers of the Great Hontang all know, but no one tells you when you go to the South Border Guard, the Ministry of Rites is customized, and the sixteenth prince can be said to be a matchmaker, after the fourth brother, it will be you and me, which prince's daughter do you like?" β
Zhu Yu sighed lightly and said, "My father used marriage to stabilize the relationship with the founding ministers.
"Brother, the vassal king has no choice... I don't know who my concubine is, is it good-looking? β
Zhu Hu's eyes dimmed, and said: "It's not good-looking, and it can't be changed, seventh brother, this is a marriage of interests, the princess of the court, there are not many people who have daughters and are of marriageable age......"
Both brothers understand this.
If she doesn't look as good as a little white goose, let her be a small... Zhu Yu thought for a while and said, "What about the fifth brother, do you have a favorite princess?" β
Zhu Hu looked like a woman who would only affect my speed of needle extraction, and said with a smile: "I am not as famous as the fourth brother, and my father doesn't look down on my talent, I just hope to be able to go to the country as soon as possible and be a free prince." β
"No, the fifth brother's in-laws have a very high status in the court, and they are General Song."
"How do you know?"
"Listen to what my mother said."
Zhu Hu didn't know that his background was very superior, and he was the future Duke of Song.
"The fourth brother is close to the fifth brother, does he know that the fifth brother secretly specializes in medicine books?"
Zhu Hu shook his head, his eyes gloomy: "The fourth brother's eyes can't tolerate sand, he will definitely tell his father, seventh brother, you have a strict mouth, I believe you... But I also know that my father will know one day. β
Zhu Rong walked out of the small courtyard, and the inspector not far away next to him secretly glanced at him and ran to report Mao Xiang.
β¦β¦
In Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the sparse music and rubbed his eyebrows.
Mao Xiang stepped forward and bowed down and said a few words.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly and said, "The sixth child was injured and didn't go to the hospital?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, the wound is not big, but the bowstring cut the finger when shooting the arrow."
"I heard that King Qi's archery has improved again, so Li Rong is indeed a person who is good at skills."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.
Mao Xiang continued, "It is His Royal Highness King Qi and His Royal Highness King Wu, who have been in contact a lot in recent days.
"The last time King Qi came back from the guard, he also went to find King Wu... It seems that King Wu is around... There are people who are good at the art of Qihuang. β
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and gradually raised his head.
At this moment, the Hongwu Emperor suddenly felt that he was missing something.
"Our sons, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, go check the fifth child and see what he is hiding from us!"
Mao Xiang replied and withdrew from the Fengtian Palace.
After a while, Zhu Hu's face was confused, and when he walked into the Fengtian Palace, his face was tense and his demeanor was at a loss, but nothing in his imagination happened.
An eerie calm.
"Father... Did my father miss me? β
Zhu Yuanzhang's head was finally lifted from the imperial case, Yu Guang glanced at Zhu Hu, and his body slowly pulled out of the imperial chair.
Zhu Hu lowered his head like a person who had done something wrong.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked a few steps, his face remained gentle all the time, and then he said lightly: "Lu'er, what have you been doing lately?" β
"Erchen is reading Zhao Jianlu... There is also the Da Ming Law compiled by his father, and then he learned the art of war and horse politics with Yuzhang Hou. β
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he said, "Carry it in!" β
Mao Xiang led the inspector to carry in a black wooden box, Zhu Hu suddenly felt bad, and suddenly saw his father's eyes sharp like an eagle, and hurriedly knelt down: "Erchen is just curious about the medical codex, and he will not delay the establishment of Xi Zheng." β
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Hu and scolded: "We always thought! You study hard and practice hard in the main hall! It's been a long time since we've done it, come on! Take off his clothes! Call all the masters of the main hall again! β
Zhu Yu took a comfortable bath, Liu Jiu slammed open the door and stumbled in.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty beat King Wu outside the Fengtian Palace, and that big black box was discovered... King Wu was still not convinced, and collided with His Majesty, and His Majesty was very angry......"
