Chapter 224: Yu Qian: My nephew is the God of War.

"Zhu Qizhen!"

East Palace Living Room.

Zhu Zhangui, who was lying on his lap with his eldest daughter on his lap, and then carefully hugged Zhu Zhangui, who was holding four babies, stared at a stinky boy who was crying in his arms, and his eyes widened.

Yu Qingyao was a little nervous in her heart, she knew from the beginning that Zhu Zhangui was resistant to the name Zhu Qizhen.

But this is the name taken by her father-in-law, and it is not easy for her to refuse as a daughter-in-law.

When Zhu Zhangui left, he didn't think about hitting the shot, so he didn't leave names for the two.

Ji Yunsheng's second girl, or Hu Shanxiang's useless one, was used on the second girl.

"Husband, this is the name given by my father!"

Zhao Ling'er on the side, seeing that Yu Qingyao was so nervous that she was about to cry, reminded Zhu Zhangui in a low voice.

"Oh, what's... It's okay, Zhu Qizhen is from Zhu Qizhen, in fact, this name is quite good. ”

"The reason why I don't like this name is because a master calculated for me at the beginning, the word town, if the boss calls this, it will not be good for the country's fortune in the future."

"The third child will be fine, but it will still have the effect of blessing."

Zhu Zhangui endured the awkwardness in his heart and comforted Yu Qingyao.

Nima, Zhu Qizhen became Yu Qian's nephew, this is just too much.

It seems that it is another world, Zhu Qizhen, a stupid boy, has done too much, and he has come to pay off his debts in this life.

Hearing Zhu Zhangui say this, Yu Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Handed over the noisy little guys to their mother one by one, Zhu Zhangui picked up the little guy Zhu Qizhen and explained to Qing Yao.

"Your cousin will come back after a while, and he may often serve in the Jingshi in the future, his knowledge and bearing are all admired by me, and I will go back and let this little guy be closer to his uncle, and he will be able to touch his uncle's upright atmosphere!"

Yu Qingyao nodded happily and took over Zhu Qizhen, who was still howling.

Ji Yun and Hu Shanxiang were also happy in their hearts.

Zhu Zhangui did not care about the eldest son like those children of big families.

When he returned to the East Palace just now, Zhu Zhangui rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw these little guys.

Even later, under Zhang's glare, in order to be impartial, he directly hugged all the little guys.

Good guy, that's like hugging a piglet.

"Qi Rui, do you miss grandma!"

On the other side, Zhang put his arms around his eldest grandson, feeding him osmanthus cakes, and asked the little guy if he missed her.

The little guy had an osmanthus cake in one hand, and his mouth was still stuffed and nodded vigorously.

"Woo... I can't even sleep when I think about it! ”

Zhu Zhangui was speechless.

I can't sleep yet, you kid sleeps better than anyone else three times a day.

"Mother, don't spoil him like this, it's easy to spoil him."

Seeing that the old lady was reluctant to let go from coming back to the present, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help it.

This is his eldest son, his future heir, and he can no longer be like Zhu Qizhen.

Zhang's eyes widened.

"My grandson can hurt as much as I want, why are you so busy, it's okay to help your father see the excerpts, let your father free his hands, review the enlightenment book, and then go back to teach Qi Rui."

"I don't need my father to teach me, I've already found a gentleman for him!"

He is the founder of Xinxue, the exterminator of the Confucian family, and the absolute enemy of Confucianism.

The relationship between the two is not nonsense, and he also let his son learn Confucianism!

Zhu Fatpang, who was walking in with an enlightenment book, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked curiously.

"Who are you going to let teach Qi Rui, which scholar in the court?"

"If that's the case, you don't have to look for it, I've already found it. In addition to my personal teaching, I also let Bachelor Yang Shiqi serve as Qi Rui's lecturer, and I also arranged a few other bachelors, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Picking up the eldest daughter who was scurrying at his feet and stuffing a candy into the little guy's mouth, Zhu Zhangui shook his head and said.

"Dad, I don't think the same as you, I plan to let Qi Rui go to Xinxue as an ordinary student!"

"(⊙o⊙) What?"

"It's... Is this appropriate! ”

Zhu Fat, Fat, Zhang, and Zhao Linger were all a little hesitant.

Although the new school has been doing well in the past two years, after all, it is only a place to teach farmers, and it is only some basic knowledge, a lot of advanced literature, not to mention preaching, those gentlemen are not necessarily.

And the new school is also very hard, every day before dawn to go to the school to study, in the afternoon to participate in harsh training.

This little grandson has never suffered hardship, and I'm afraid I won't be able to persevere.

Looking at the distressed and reluctant three of them, Zhu Zhangui's expression became more serious.

"Not only Qi Rui, but Qi Yu and Qi Zhen The two of them grow up, I will also send them to Xinxue, and in the future, my sons and grandchildren will go to Xinxue to study."

Zhu Zhangui looked at Zhu Chubby.

"Dad, when I left last year, I once said a word about Yang Shiqi's bachelors."

"As a person in power, you must know what the people need, what they want, what they want to say, and go to the people to see and ask!"

"This is true for ministers, and even more so as a royal child."

"If a royal kid doesn't know how to have fun, then it's no different from a waste."

"I don't want these children to be like their grandfather in the future, they can fight and settle the people, but they don't want to be fooled by the ministers outside and make a joke about ten taels of silver."

"Daddy, our Zhu family is from the people, our roots are also in the people, the people of the world are the biggest backing of our old Zhu family, why not eat minced meat, this sentence can't appear in the mouths of the descendants of our old Zhu family."

"I can tell the second elder responsibly, when this sentence appears, it will be the day when our old Zhu family's Ming Dynasty will fall."

"Whoa!"

The book in Zhu Fatpang's hand fell to the ground.

In vain, he has read the sage books for half his life and has been a prince for more than ten years, and in terms of educating children, his son, who has not been out in the wild for more than ten years, can see it clearly.

"That's right, this is the foundation of our old Zhu family, our family has come out of the common people, we must always remember this identity, and we can't let the people of the world be disappointed in our family."

"Once the people of the world are disappointed in us, our family's days will come to an end."

Just when Zhu Chupang and the others sighed, the old man walked in from outside laughing.

The crowd hurriedly got up and was about to salute.

"Haha, no need, no need, get up!"

The old man was obviously in a good mood, smiled and waved his hand, and stepped forward to look at the six little ones, as well as the three treasures who were still standing next to him with a big belly.

The boss's vein has finally branched out.

The five little guys picked up one by one and asked what their names were one by one.

At the same time, every time he picked up one, he would take out a jade pendant engraved with the Chinese character from the tray at the end of the small snot and put it on the neck of the little guy.

The old man's hand made the girls very excited.

This is the old man's approval.

In the entire royal Zhu Zhangui generation and the next generation, the old man has never rewarded this kind of jade pendant.

After the six little ones finished dividing, the old man took out the last piece and handed it to Sanbao.

"When the child is born, take the child as a shelter."

"Emperor Xie!"

Sambo's excited hands trembled a little.

When the old man gave jade pendants to a few sisters and children just now, she was still envious in her heart.

In her mind, her child had foreign blood, and the royal family, which valued blood the most, might not be able to get this gift.

But she didn't expect that in the end, the old man also gave her a piece.

Sanbao knew in his heart that he could get this jade pendant thanks to his father's wise choice, otherwise his child would not have been able to get this kind of luck.

"Dad, you talk first, I'll take them to see if the food is okay."

Seeing that several daughters-in-law had received things, Zhang knew that the three of them had something to say, so he left with his daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

"Little cub, I will only give one piece of this jade pendant, there will be no major contributions in the future, and I will not give it to the granddaughter-in-law of the foreign race."

After a few people left, the old man said to Zhu Zhangui.

The old man is reminding Zhu Zhangui to pay attention when he spoils other maids, he doesn't want so many great-grandsons with messy complexions.

Zhu Zhangui rolled his eyes.

This old man really treats him as a stallion, is he Zhu Zhangui the kind of person who shows mercy everywhere?

There are so many maids, although he has accepted dozens of them, but only Sanbao really has a child.

Sanbao's sister has slept with her so many times, and there is no response until now, isn't it Zhu Zhangui who is paying attention.

The three of them sat down, and the old man took a sip of fragrant tea and looked at Zhu Fatpang.

"Boss, tell me how the situation is going in the north."

Mentioning the matter in the north, Zhu Chupang restrained the smile on his face and replied seriously.

"Liu Sheng reported to Erchen over there, there is no movement in Arutai at present, and the troops are still stationed in Yibu Mountain, and there is no move to go south for the time being!"

"Erchen estimates that he may still be waiting for some reinforcements, or he may have any scruples about our south!"

"Hmph, of course I have scruples!"

The old man snorted disdainfully.

Arutai has not launched an offensive until now, and it is nothing more than a concern for the artillery on the defense line of the Great Wall.

Since the Shenji Battalion and the naval artillery were replenished, the artillery produced by the Artisan Battalion began to be supplied to all defense lines.

Several important defensive points in the north have been equipped with quite a few artillery pieces.

Datong City and other important defense lines are equipped with a lot of heavy artillery with a very long range.

Coupled with the equipment of new gunpowder, the firing range of various types of artillery has been nearly doubled.

Under the full charge of the heavy artillery, the firing range reached more than ten miles.

Attacking the defense line of this kind of fire hedgehog, Arutai has no 400,000 troops, even if it is doubled, it will not have the ability to enter.

So the old man guessed that this old guy might have two purposes.

The first is to find the weak points of the Ming defense line, bypass those fire hedgehogs and attack the hinterland.

The second is to let the Ming army out of the fortress and fight them in a decisive battle on the grassland.

Of course, it is not impossible to have reinforcements from the other side, who it is, the old man has not guessed yet, and Jinyiwei is also trying his best to investigate.

Looking at the old man who was deep in thought, Zhu Fatpang hesitated for a moment and proposed.

"Don't wait any longer, see if the Jinyi Guards can find the other party's herdsmen's camp, and let's make another thousand-mile raid to attack their camp and break their morale."

Zhu Fatpang wanted to do another thousand-mile attack, and then attack back and forth to break the enemy in one fell swoop.

The old man shook his head.

"Some things are inextricable, Mahamu was killed like this, it is impossible for Arutai to be defenseless."

"Besides, the last time we did that, it was because we probably figured out where the other side's logistics camp was."

"But this time I've been investigating for so long, and there is still no news about this, so it is estimated that the old man is guarding against this."

As he spoke, the old man looked at Zhu Zhangui who was on the side.

"Little cub, is there any news from your father-in-law's side?"

Zhu Zhangui said with some regret.

"I sent people to ask, and they sent a large number of people, but they didn't find it. I even suspect that Arutai didn't bring the herders with him. ”

The old man frowned.

"Let them try to probe and see if they can find clues, and if they can't find us, they will think of other ways."

After explaining the investigation, the old man took a fancy to Zhu Fatpang.

"How about the troops drawn from all over the country by the Ministry of War!"

When the old man first arrived at the border of the Ming Dynasty, he sent an 800-mile expedited to ask the military department to extract the grain and grass of soldiers and horses from all over the country and prepare for the 3rd Northern Expedition.

The old man gave them a quantity.

600,000.

When the military department learned about this amount, they almost cried.

Isn't that embarrassing?

Although the overall strength of the Ming Dynasty is quite large, they are all defended in various places, and there are only about 700,000 that can be drawn at will.

Zhang Fu, who confronted the Timurid Empire in the Asan region, took 80,000, and Zhang Feng, who was vigilant in Yunnan, brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 60,000 men under Zheng Heng in Burma, and 190,000 went out at once.

Coupled with the auxiliaries of the three legions, the number of capable soldiers divided into the three of them alone is about 220,000.

This is a one-third subtraction.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian attacked the coastal areas, and the military department sent 50,000 people to suppress the Japanese invaders, plus 30,000 people from Shandong.

Combined, the two parties are almost halfway there.

The vast majority of the remaining half are active troops, and the three battalions account for more than half of the quota.

Excluding these, the troops that soldiers can really move at will now are only about 70,000 or 80,000 people, which is nearly 10 times different from the number requested by the old man.

The military department has calculated here, and the five military camps that went to the defense line of the Great Wall of Helan Mountain, as well as the three thousand battalions on guard in Datong City, can almost integrate 100,000 horses.

Coupled with the half of the Shenji battalion that came back, it was so-so that it was able to put together a force of 130,000 people.

Coupled with the people they can pull out in their hands, they can almost meet 1/3 of the old man's requirements.

But that's obviously not enough.

Even if you can't meet the old man's requirements, at least the number of enemies must be the same.

Otherwise, if such a few people go to the grassland, isn't it purely sent to death in the past?

In order to get together the people, the military department also had a flying brain, and hit the idea to the Sunset Chamber of Commerce.

The sun never sets, but 400,000 migrant workers were recruited, many of whom were from military families and were reservists themselves.

If it weren't for the old man's personal order, it would have been impossible for the military department to let so many military households leave the place to work elsewhere.

Now the imperial court is in short supply of soldiers and horses, and in order to maintain the stability of the imperial court, it is really difficult to move the local troops. Therefore, these military households who are ready to set off and go to work in Asan by land have become their preferred targets.

It's just that as soon as the order from the military department was issued, the sun never sets on the side of the Chamber of Commerce directly refused.

What are you kidding, we are workers, not fucking reserves, and we have all been pulled into the battlefield for you, who are the slaves on our side who are watching to go to farming, do you?

For this, the two parties had a big quarrel.

Others are afraid of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, but the Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of the sun never sets.

Yang Shiqi and Lao He had a big quarrel directly in the hall of the Sunset Chamber of Commerce.

One wants to let go of the other.

Yang Shiqi scolded Lao He for disregarding national security and robbing the imperial court soldiers.

Not to be outdone, Lao He scolded Yang Shiqi for ignoring national interests and overseas imperial territories.

The two old men, one is the secretary of the Cabinet University Soldiers' Department, and the other is the helmsman of the Daming Business Group, pointing at each other's noses like shrews and spewing dirty words.

In the end, if it wasn't for his subordinates, the two old men almost did it.

In the end, this matter came to Zhu Fatpang, and the two of them said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother-in-law was reasonable.

Both of them are for the court, and Zhu Fatpang can't help them, so he can only neutralize the mud in them.

In the end, after discussion, Zhu Fatpang asked Yang Shiqi to recruit people first, and Lao He also left 100,000 people just in case.

If Yang Shiqi really can't recruit them, add these 100,000 people.
