For several days in a row, the excerpts played from all over the Ming Dynasty were all natural disasters and requests for disaster relief, which made Zhu Yuanzhang tireless.

finally came to a different one, which made Zhu Yuanzhang breathe a sigh of relief.

The good news of Datong Mansion was passed on again, this time it directly wiped out more than a dozen tribes of the Mongols.

Good news is good news, but why Datong?

The thought of Zhu Gui gave Zhu Yuanzhang a headache.

However, the thought of going to court the next day gave him a headache even more.

So he immediately called the prince Zhu Biao.

"Prince, have you seen all the twists and turns of Datong Mansion? What do you think? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and asked.

"Qi Qi Father, Erchen feels that the thirteenth emperor brother has grown up, and his actions in Datong Mansion during this time are enough to explain."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I know all this, I am asking you about the things he mentioned in the recital, and he wants to add a Mongolian mansion outside Shanxi." ”

"Erchen feels that it is inappropriate, the Mongols' covetousness for the Ming Dynasty has not been eliminated, and the battle in Datongfu does not mean that the war on the whole front is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, you have thought it through, but this kid has really done a good job this time, I decided to give him some rewards, the rewards and punishments are clear, what does the prince think?" ”

"Erchen thinks it is indeed necessary, the thirteen emperor brothers, as one of the Sai kings guarding the border pass, are the only vassal kings who have not been guarded by the prince so far, does the father consider ......?"

Zhu Biao was only halfway through his words and did not continue, because he noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang's face had sunk.

He could see that Zhu Yuanzhang still had some opinions about Zhu Gui, which could not be changed by a few letters.

"In this way, since the disaster has broken out in various parts of Daming, I will send special envoys to inspect all places, and if the situation in Datong Mansion is really as mentioned in the song, I can consider giving him the right to form a personal guard."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally relented.

This made Zhu Biao also breathe a sigh of relief.

……

Soon, Zhu Gui received a holy decree from Nanjing.

There is nothing practical except for a few rewards.

This disappointed him a little.

However, along with the holy decree, there was also a handwritten letter from the crown prince Zhu Biao.

The letter made it clear that the emperor wanted to investigate Zhu Gui, and if it passed, he could form a personal guard.

"The old man still doesn't trust me, it seems that the reputation of this acting king is really bad enough."

Half a month has passed since the disaster relief in Yingzhou, and several small coal kilns have been started in the local area.

Most of the victims were installed in the mine to work, and food and clothing were guaranteed.

This made Zhu Gui also supported by the victims.

There was even a county where people took the initiative to raise money to build a temple for Zhu Gui.

Zhu Gui also went to take a look.

The temple is a little simpler, and the clay sculptures don't look like it at all.

However, it also shows the trust of the local people in him.

This made Zhu Gui full of emotion.

……

In the underground prison of Datong Mansion.

Heimuhan and the leaders of the Mongol tribes were imprisoned here.

Across from them were some bandit leaders who had been sent over by Scar.

The daily execution of bandits has become a feature of Datong Province.

However, for these Mongols, Zhu Gui tried his best to defy public opinion and did not kill them.

Today, he came to the prison again with Xu Yingxu.

"Lord Wang, these are Mongols, and they have an essential conflict with our Han Chinese, I guess they will not surrender."

Xu Yingxu didn't know how many times he said this.

He could approve of Zhu Gui's Zhao'an horse bandits, but he was always skeptical and opposed to his idea of recruiting these Mongols.

The facts also show that he is probably right, these Mongols have been imprisoned for half a month, and there is no sign of softening at all.

Zhu Gui brought a map over today, he directly asked people to unfold it, and then pointed to the part above and said: "General Xu, you see, this is the current territory of our Ming Dynasty, and there is only one corner of this continent, don't you have other ideas?" ”

"What is this?" It was the first time Xu Yingxu had seen such a large map, and it could be said that his worldview was a little broken.

"As you can see, this is the map of the world."

It also took Zhu Gui several days to draw this map from memory.

"World map? But lord, how do you know that the world is like this? ”

Xu Yingxu stared at the map, and there were already turbulent waves in his heart.

"What you know from the book, so don't be blinded by everything you see, whether it is us Han Chinese, or Mongolians, we only occupy a small corner of this world."

"What does Your Highness mean?" Xu Yingxu finally reacted.

"Naturally, people can't occupy the whole world just by shouting, but as long as all the races in this world respect our Da Ming, then Da Ming can be the whole world."

Zhu Gui said lightly.

"The last general seems to have understood."

At this moment, Xu Yingxu's eyes when he looked at Acting King Zhu Gui changed a little.

Unexpectedly, the little prince in front of him actually had the whole world in his heart, and he really underestimated the other party before.

Zhu Gui just patted Xu Yingxu on the shoulder, and then went down to the cell.

The guards kept the bandit leaders at bay behind him.

Zhu Gui looked at the Mongols and said, "Actually, your family is not dead, but has been imprisoned by this king. ”

His words finally worked, and these Mongolian tough guys looked up at him with a look of disbelief in their eyes.

Although these people survived the last battle, when they returned to the tribe, they found that not only was there no one in the tribe, but they were also burned.

They were caught by the ambushed Ming army before they could check it closely, so in their minds, the old and weak women and children of their tribe had already been killed by the Ming army.

This is the knot in their hearts.

Now Zhu Gui's words made the anger in their hearts suddenly turn into astonishment and confusion.

Zhu Gui nodded and continued: "This king knows that you will rob the Han people for the sake of life, and now this king will give you a chance to live, that is, to be loyal to this king." ”

"In the future, not only will you have endless pastures, but you won't have to worry about natural disasters."

As soon as he finished speaking, Heimuhan got up and said, "The Mongols will never be slaves. ”

The other chiefs' eyes twinkled, neither echoing nor speaking.

Seeing this, Zhu Gui looked at Hei Muhan and said, "It seems that you are determined to go against this king?" ”

"This king can give you three chances to leave with the warriors of your tribe, and in three months, this king will catch you three times, and if this king does it, you will submit to this king, how about it?"

Hei Muhan glanced at the others, thought twice, and said, "Okay, if you don't do it, you will release all the Mongols." ”

"It's a deal."

Xu Yingxu on the side was stunned when he heard this, he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
