Chapter 322: King Zhou, this rebel!
When Lan Yu heard the words "Inheritance of the Jade Seal", the banter on his face was swept away, and he pulled Enke Khan up through the cage and asked loudly.
"Where's the jade seal?"
"Hand it over!"
"I'll keep you from dying!"
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has made many expeditions to the north cannot be said to be entirely because of the jade seal of the country, but most of the reasons are related to the jade seal of the country.
Because this thing is not only a representative of the Chinese imperial power, but also means a kind of inheritance of the imperial throne.
Every time Lan Yu goes on an expedition, he will receive a secret decree from Lao Zhu, asking him to pass on the whereabouts of the jade seal as much as possible.
It is a pity that the Ming Dynasty has won so many battles, but only the jade seal of the country has never been found.
Zhu Yunxi was also shocked when he heard the four words of the jade seal of the country, and the eight big characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity" instantly appeared in his mind.
But his understanding of the jade seal of the country is limited to this, and he doesn't know how this thing has been passed down in history.
"Uncle, this thing is very important?"
"Of course it's important!"
"Your imperial grandfather has been looking for it for half his life!"
"I didn't expect that you kid just came to the grassland and found it, this is the will of God, hahaha!"
After Lan Yu answered Zhu Yunxi, he once again viciously threatened Enkhan to hand over the jade seal of the country.
Enkhan had already hidden the jade seal, and he didn't bring it with him at all, otherwise he would have been touched by the soldiers a long time ago, how could he have kept it until now?
"You must promise not to kill me!"
"Let me live!"
"Otherwise, I'd rather die than pay!"
"Good!"
"I promise you!"
Enkhan listened to Lan Yu's assurance, but his eyes kept looking at Zhu Yunxi, the so-called future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"No!"
"I'm going to make him promise!"
"Didn't you say that he was the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I only believe in his promises!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately pointed to the sky and swore an oath.
"Yes!"
"Lone promises to spare you from dying!"
"If you can cooperate, Lone will even make you a khan!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"I've captured so many people, someone has to take care of it for me, right?"
When Enkhan heard this, he immediately said happily.
"The jade seal was placed by me in a private house in the city, under the bed where I slept......
Hearing this, Lan Yu hurriedly led someone to find it, and after a while, he laughed and ran out of a private house, and then handed the jade seal to Zhu Yunxi as if offering a treasure.
"Nephew and grandson, take this thing, give this thing to your imperial grandfather, and your imperial grandson's position will be nine out of ten, hahaha!"
Zhu Yunxi took the jade seal of the country, and saw that there was a corner on it, and it was wrapped in gold, so he couldn't help but think of his own Wu Wang Yin, and wondered if Lao Zhu deliberately broke the Wu Wang seal back then, so as to imitate the jade seal of the country?
"Uncle, is this thing authentic, it can't be imitated by the Beiyuan people, right?"
"Well......
Lan Yu also hesitated when he heard this, he also felt that there was such a possibility, and he couldn't tell the truth of this thing.
"Don't care if it's true or not, take it back to your imperial grandfather to see, if it's true, it's true!"
"Okay!"
After Zhu Yunxi found the heirloom jade seal, he fulfilled his promise on the spot and released Enke Khan from the cage. ….
He was only given twelve brocade guards, who took turns staring at him for twelve hours a day.
Enkhan saw that Da Ming attached so much importance to him, and suddenly felt a lot safer, he could eat and sleep every day, and he felt more comfortable than in the Mobei Royal Court.
It's just that if you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back.
After a few days of eating and waiting for death in Dongsheng City, Enke Khan finally ushered in his first mission in Daming - persuasion.
The so-called persuasion of surrender is to persuade the captive steppe people to be obedient.
Riding on a tall horse and tightly guarded by twelve brocade guards, Enkhan walked from one captive camp to another.
"Warriors of the steppe!"
"You are not guilty, it is Ugqi Hashha who is guilty, and it is his greed that has attracted the wrath of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty!"
"We have to pay the penalty for our crimes!"
"The benevolent Three Emperors and Grandsons of the Ming Dynasty have promised Ben Khan that as long as we do five years of hard labor for the Ming Dynasty, the benevolent Three Emperors and Grandsons will let us go back to the grassland......
"Only when we have atoned for our sins will we return to the bosom of eternal life after death......
As Enkhan lobbied, the hatred in the camp receded, and hope burned in the hearts of each captive.
When the Ming sergeant commanded them to work, they did not resist as before, and began to cooperate with the work in an orderly manner.
Lan Yu looked at the more and more obedient grassland people, and said to Zhu Yunxi, who was gnawing on the leg of mutton on the side.
"Niece, what the hell do you think, do you really plan to let them go back in five years?"
Zhu Yunxi said vaguely.
"It's hard to say!"
"Let's see how much is left in five years!"
"Forehead ......"
When Lan Yu heard this, he immediately put his heart in his stomach, and dared to love his nephew, so he didn't plan to let these people go back alive!
While Zhu Yunxi was training the captives, Lan Yu was not idle, or his strategy had just begun.
Conquering Dongsheng City and intercepting the Wara raiding soldiers back to the grassland is only the first step, how to enter Datong Mansion and exterminate the grassland cavalry near Taiyuan through Datong Mansion is his entire strategic intention.
Therefore, he was very busy every day, either ordering people to strengthen the city walls and repair fortifications, or cooperating with Fu Youde, King Jin and others to clear out the remnants of the enemy in the territory.
Grassland raids are all based on tribes, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand people per tribe.
Because it is too scattered, it is difficult to form a real combat force.
As long as the Ming army concentrates its superior forces, it is only a matter of time before all the remnants of the enemy who enter and plunder are eliminated.
Chang Sheng was also sent by him to make military achievements, and brought 3,000 cavalry to assist Lan Yong's Yizi battalion.
As for whether he can catch a big fish and make a great contribution, it depends on his own creation.
However, Lan Yu didn't fancy this matter, he could even guess Lao Zhu's thoughts, Chang Sheng wanted to get back the title of founding duke, and he could only wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
Therefore, no matter how much military merit Chang Sheng makes now, the old emperor will press him to death.
But Lan Yu didn't say these words to Chang Sheng, for fear of dampening Dao Chang Sheng's enterprising spirit.
Ten days later, Lan Yu repaired Dongsheng City and re-stationed his troops. As for himself, he returned to Datong Mansion with thousands of people to talk to a group of soldiers about their merits. ….
Lan Yu looked at the dozen or so generals under his command and said lightly.
"The reason why this battle was able to win a big victory is that the Three Emperors Sun has the greatest credit, you have no objection to this, right?"
"Nope!"
"The Three Emperors and Sun strategized, personally commanded the battle, and personally went into battle to kill the enemy, with two swords in his hands...... No...... Two hundred Northern Yuan ***, it can be described as an outstanding meritorious service, a great merit!"
It was the top dog-legged Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen who said this.
Cao Zhen said it seriously, but Zhu Yunxi heard it with a feverish face.
Whether he has merit or not, he knows best in his heart.
According to Lan Yu, the two bells for the dog are stronger than himself, and he just took people out for a run, is there really such a great merit?
"Aren't you elders overrated?"
"Although Gu is the grandson of the emperor, it is not good to rob your uncles of the credit."
"Let's still seek truth from facts, Lone killed two *** is two, don't put gold on Lone's face."
"Strategizing and commanding the work of the master, it is naturally my uncle's, and it is naturally your uncle's to go to the battle formation and kill the enemy with arrows and stones, and I am just following behind you
Playing the autumn breeze and picking up cheap ones, hehehehe......
Lan Yu patted his nephew's head dotingly.
"Yunxi, you don't have to be humble in this matter."
"Even if you don't get the first credit, you have to give it to your grandfather."
"How can we big soldiers deserve to take the lead, hahaha......
"Huh?"
"Why is that?"
Fu Youde explained with a laugh.
"Because that's the way to be a minister, hahaha!"
As soon as Fu Youde said this, all the generals in the big tent laughed along.
In fact, it is also a tradition that has been around since ancient times.
If the army wins, the greatest credit must be the emperor's, if it is not for the emperor's wise leadership, how can they win?
Zhu Yunxi understood after Fu Youde said it, and dared to love this as a sycophant of the emperor's grandfather, so as to avoid his own high merit and suspicion by the emperor's grandfather.
Since this head is the emperor's grandfather's, then his rebel grandson is not welcome!
In fact, Fu Youde still hasn't said a word, that is, Zhu Yunxi didn't blindly command, and interfered with Lan Yu's strategic implementation, so he deserves the word "head gong".
Even when he heard that Lan Yu was using the people of Datong Mansion as bait, Zhu Yunxi only asked, and did not deny this strategy, which can already be called the Holy Monarch.
If they were replaced by a so-called benevolent and righteous king, and dissuaded them on the grounds of the lives of the people, their Ming army would have to pay at least several times the casualties, and they might not be able to achieve such great results.
There is only one bad thing, that is, the three emperors and grandsons are still teenagers, and they always want to ride their horses and whip and go into battle to kill the enemy.
However, this matter can only be complained to the old emperor in the song, and the old emperor can strictly discipline the three emperors' grandsons.
After Lan Yu gave up the first credit to Zhu Yunxi, the rest of the things were easy to do. Generals at all levels assessed their exploits according to the number of enemies killed, took extra care of those who died in battle, and sold all the captured cattle and sheep at a low price on the spot, which was regarded as compensating for the losses of the people of Datong Prefecture, and the money from the sale was just enough to compensate the families of the victims.
As for the materials seized from the battlefield, all the things of the people of the Ming Dynasty were distributed to the prefectures and counties, so that they could find ways to return them to the people. ….
The people of the Ming Dynasty who were rescued from *** also issued road guides to let them go home and farm in peace.
Everything seems to be developing in a good direction, but on the way back to Beijing, Zhu Yunxi saw the burned village, the corpse that had fallen on the side of the road and been eaten by wild dogs, which made him realize that this war was far from being as peaceful as he imagined, and there were still many pains left on Daming's body and engraved in the hearts of the people of Daming.
This feeling directly diluted his joy at victory, and he didn't even feel that he had earned tens of thousands of prisoners, but felt that he had lost something.
Compared with Zhu Yunxi's unhappiness, Zhu Yunxi is angry and depressed.
He originally wanted to use Lu Fu to make a good show in Datong Mansion. But he didn't admit that as soon as he arrived in Datong Mansion, he was given the plenipotentiary by Zhu Yunxi.
Moreover, what made him most depressed was that Lu Fu, whom he had high hopes for, had now become Zhu Yunxi's follower, pestering Zhu Yunxi all day long to ask questions.
No, now this old man is pestering Zhu Yunxi and asking him to explain why he is so precautionary, why he is not allowed to drink raw water and other things.
"Three Emperor Suns, on this trip to Datong, the students have seen everything in their eyes, and your governance effect is indeed remarkable."
"But the students really want to know what the principle is, can you explain the confusion to the students?"
Zhu Yunxi was in a depressed mood, and when he saw that the old man was pestering him unrelentingly, he immediately yelled at him.
"Nope!"
"Three Emperor Grandsons, can you tell me why you can't drink raw water?"
"Nope!"
"The Three Emperors' Grandsons......
"Get out!"
Zhu Yunxi also knew that it was wrong for him to get angry, so when he set up camp that night, he called Hao Wenjie, Lu Fu and others to his tent and explained to them in detail the key points of prevention and control of infectious diseases.
It's just that there is a lot of basic scientific knowledge involved here, Lu Fuli
It's more difficult to solve.
Because it is difficult for him to associate the basic science mentioned by Zhu Yunxi with theories such as yin and yang and the five elements.
Relatively speaking, Hao Wenjie, Ge Yunqian and others have already studied with Zhu Yunxi for a period of time, and they can solve many problems for Lu Fu.
When Lu Fu learned that Tai Hospital also had a medical school in the capital, which had more advanced surgical skills and other medical skills, he happily said that he must visit and learn about it.
Hao Wenjie and others naturally welcomed this with both hands and feet, and hired Lu Fu as a visiting professor of the medical school on the spot.
However, none of this has anything to do with Zhu Yunxi, he just habitually draws a circle, and leaves the rest to others.
When Hao Wenjie and Lu Fu and others were learning medical skills from each other, Zhu Yunxi was invited into the Jin Palace, and he entertained his eldest nephew, and by the way, he borrowed the "Heirloom Jade Seal" from the eldest nephew to observe, and secretly stamped a few seals for his own family, intending to leave them as a memorial for future generations.
Because once this thing enters the palace, it will have nothing to do with him, the vassal king.
Zhu Li wanted to stay with Zhu Yunxi to play in Taiyuan for a few more days, but the old man had no choice but to urge him to send his baby grandson away in a hurry, and when he left, he also sent him an additional 1,000 guards, for fear that Zhu Yunxi would have an accident on the road.
Even so, Zhu Li was still not at ease, and pulled Fu Youde to tell him to take care of Zhu Yunxi on the road, and don't let this grandson fool around. ….
When passing by Kaifeng Mansion, Zhu Yunxi wanted to go to meet his fifth uncle who loved him the most, but he thought that his fifth uncle King Zhou was not there, so he didn't even enter Kaifeng City.
Zhu Yunxi didn't think anything about it, but the Jinyi guards who accompanied him were attentive and secretly wrote down the matter, and without waiting for the next day, he sent someone to send back the news that King Zhou had rejected the three emperors and grandsons that night.
Qianqing Palace.
Lao Zhu was flipping through the military report sent back by Lan Yu, and compared his own report in the army to restore the true situation of the normal battle.
In general, the battle was won, there is no doubt about it.
But the losses and gains in this battle, Lan Yu didn't mention a word, and he also deducted the first credit to Zhu Yunxi.
Lao Zhu secretly thought, this guy is planning to let our eldest grandson take the blame for him, right?
Lao Zhu threw aside Lan Yu's military newspaper that reported good news but not bad news, and began to check the prefects and county orders of Datong Prefecture.
Relatively speaking, these people's excerpts are much more detailed.
For example, the blue jade is plundering, standing still, beggar-thy-neighbor, and the people as bait.
Lao Zhu scolded when he saw this.
"Lan Yu, this dog thing, we should really cut him with a thousand knives!"
"We have 100,000 troops in Datong, don't we just want to keep the thieves out?"
"This guy can actually do things that use the people as bait and connive at the Northern Yuan *** to rob the people, it is really a crime that deserves death!"
When Lao Zhu was angry, the people in the entire Qianqing Palace didn't even dare to pant loudly.
Fortunately, Lao Zhu just scolded for a while, and looked at the eldest grandson's "head work" face, pinched his nose and admitted it.
"Where has our grandson gone now?"
"Have you ever been to Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Back to the emperor, according to the previous report, Kaifeng Mansion should have passed at this time. However, Kaifeng Mansion is the fief of King Zhou, and His Royal Highness King Zhou may also have to stay with the three emperors and grandchildren for a few days, so that he will be able to return to Beijing after being entertained."
When Lao Zhu heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face.
"It's not that we are boasting, our emperors are all affectionate and righteous, and they have a lot more humanity than the princes of previous dynasties!"
Qin Deshun saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and hurriedly offered a rainbow fart.
"That's what the emperor said!"
"However, this is also the kindness of the emperor's father, and the princes are brothers, friends, and brothers, and attach importance to human and family affection."
Lao Zhu was very satisfied with this sycophant, but when he thought that the eldest grandson would have to delay for a few more days, he felt a little unhappy.
"Send a message to King Zhou, let him entertain our eldest grandson for a few days, and let the rebel grandson come back quickly!"
"Hey!
」
"Emperor, is this decree an oracle or a handwritten edict?"
"Edict!"
"King Zhou, that kid is a little dead-eyed, you send him a message from afar, he may not take it seriously."
While the two were talking, a eunuch hurriedly ran in outside the door.
"Emperor, there is an urgent report from the Jinyi Guard!"
"Biography!"
"No!"
After a while, a small flag of the brocade guard walked in, and the general reported it with both hands.
"Emperor, this is the daily report of Jinyiwei, the three emperors and grandsons have passed through Kaifeng Mansion at present, and they are expected to arrive in Beijing in seven days."
When Lao Zhu heard this, the smile on his face instantly froze.
"Is this past Kaifeng?"
"Then the rebel grandson didn't say to go see his fifth uncle?"
"Back to the emperor, the third emperor's grandson has gone to visit King Zhou. It's just that His Royal Highness King Zhou shirked his absence and ordered someone to send the Three Emperors Sun Li out of the country!"
"The specific report is written by the Lord of Qianhu himself, and the emperor will understand it after reading the military report."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately opened the bamboo tube and took out the military newspaper inside to look at it.
Xu Liuzi, a thousand households in Jinyiwei, recorded in great detail how Zhu Yunxi prepared gifts and personally went to Kaifeng City to visit his fifth uncle, and then how his fifth uncle ordered people to lie and turn away the three emperors and grandsons.
Moreover, in order to verify that King Zhou was not in Kaifeng City, Xu Liuzi also sent someone in to investigate, and was 100% sure that King Zhou was deliberately missing.
Lao Zhu was watching Xu Liuzi's recital, and he was so angry that he tore the reciprocal report to shreds on the spot.
"King Zhou, this rebel!"
"Our eldest grandson was kind enough to visit him, but he dared not even open the city gates?"
"We're still alive, and he dares to snub his grandson like this. When we die in the future, he will not be able to raise an army to rebel!"
