Chapter 16 Zhu Yuanzhang's General Corps

A group of people passed from the old courtyard of Nanjing, on the bank of the Qinhuai River. It's just that the Qinhuai River has become the land of fireworks in Nanjing, and there is also a development process. The main booster is actually Nanjing Guozi Supervisor. It's like there are many small hotels next to the university, and young people's hormones are hard to suppress.

It's just that now Zhu Yuanzhang is in power. The requirements for Nanjing Guozijian are very high. The rules are very strict. These Nanjing Guozi prisoners, don't say it out to pick up girls. If you don't do your homework well, you have to press it on the ground and hit the board.

When did the Guozi Prison Prison Regulations relax, there were many Guozi Prison students who were nostalgic for the land of fireworks and dyed the Qinhuai River into a land of fireworks.

When the group turned to the street leading to Jubaomen, it was even more prosperous. Jubaomen is one of the main gates of Nanjing. Xu Da will also enter the city from Jubaomen. The wharf outside the treasure gate is a place where merchants from the north and south gather, which can be said to be a prosperous place in the world.

If it weren't for the identity of the crown prince, he sent officials to open the way in front. The group of them is probably going to be stuck here.

It's not that these people dare to stand in the way of the prince, people can really listen to orders, but so many carriages and animals can't understand human words.

Seeing this, the prince frowned slightly. An official was called and said, "Wei Guogong will be here in a while." That's not going to work. Pass the order down. Let each square clear this road and seal it for two hours. ”

"Yes." The official said.

When the prince saw He Xi looking at him, he said, "It doesn't matter if you're lonely. However, the Duke of Wei fought for the country, and the imperial court could not but be courteous. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the front-line soldiers. Although it is inconvenient for the people. But it had to be done. ”

He Xi said: "Your Highness is benevolent, the Duke of Wei will definitely be moved." ”

The prince smiled and said, "Uncle Xu doesn't really care. It's all family. However, it was not only Uncle Xu who came back this time, and some things were not easy not to do. ”

He Xizheng wanted to ask, besides Xu Da, who else came back from Beiping this time? But I saw a wide eye. A majestic gate was in front of you. This is not another gate. It was not until 600 years later, when the Japanese invaded China, that the main gate of Nanjing City, Jubaomen, which could still withstand the bombardment of Japanese heavy artillery. Later generations called Zhonghua Gate.

For a while, He Xi had the illusion of time and space travel.

It seems that history flows through the treasure gate in an instant. The Jubao Gate in front of you overlapped with the Zhonghua Gate in later generations. This vicissitudes of the city gate watched the world change without saying a word. He Xi suddenly felt as if he was going to do something. Only by doing something can I feel that it is in vain to walk in the Hongwu years.

He had just built the Treasure Gate for more than ten years, and he did not know that he would be bombarded by Japanese heavy artillery in his later life. At this moment, he is showing his majestic posture to the world.

Out of the treasure gate, it is Changganli. It is the long stem written by countless literati and ink writers.

Changganli is south of the Qinhuai River, but in the Ming Dynasty, the city wall was built, and part of Changganli was brought into the city. And Changganli has become a cargo distribution center, especially outside the city, where Zhu Yuanzhang built hundreds of collapsed houses. The so-called collapsed house is the warehouse.

A lot of goods are shipped north-south. Don't enter the city of Nanjing at all. All stay here to store and look for buyers.

The government built collapsed houses, of course, for the convenience of merchants, but more importantly, for the purpose of collecting taxes. It's just that this method was almost a formality in the late Ming Dynasty. Now, around these collapsed houses, there is a bustling area outside the city.

The group stopped at the Changganli pier.

In front of it is the Outer Qinhuai River, which is generally known as the Qinhuai River is a tributary of this river. It is also the moat of Nanjing City.

He Xi rode on a horse, one position behind the prince. Looking at the sparkling river, there are some crowded boats of all sizes. didn't see Xu Da and his party. said: "Your Highness, when will Wei Guogong arrive?" ”

The prince said: "You don't know Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu is a human being, and he couldn't be more cautious and humble. He must have arrived at this moment. It's miles away. If I'm not here, he's not coming. ”

Almost Cao Cao arrived.

As soon as the prince finished speaking, he pointed to his hand and said, "Look, isn't this coming?" ”

He Xi immediately looked to the north, but saw that at the end of his sight, there seemed to be a few more white sails. The large and small boats on the river were all notified by people to take small boats, and they avoided on one side, and more than a dozen large boats emptied.

These ships are not small. The bow of the ship is painted with a tiger's head, which looks extremely powerful.

After a while, the ship was already docked.

A long pallet was placed on the pier, and the first one was dressed in a python robe, and the prince was dressed in color. The face is furrowed and the cheekbones are prominent. It's a little thin. If you don't look at this person is the color of the suit. This person's appearance reminded He Xi of any old man who played chess in the village.

Who knows, he is the world-famous Duke of Wei Xu Da.

When Xu Da saw the prince, he immediately took a few steps forward, and after a distance of three or five steps, he was about to salute. The prince immediately turned over and dismounted, supported Xu Da in a few steps and said, "Uncle Xu, why should he be like this. You do this, and you kill the little nephew. ”

Xu Da looked at the prince with a little kindness in his eyes, but he said, "The prince's words are wrong. There are no uncles and nephews in the court, only monarchs and ministers. The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished. ”

In this way, Xu Da had to salute, but the prince did not dare to accept the salute, so he pulled back and forth. Finally, Xu Da made a half-salute. The crown prince ends.

It's just that this treatment is only available to Xu Da, and the generals behind Xu Da, such as Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, and Mu Ying, can only obediently salute.

He Xi can actually see that the relationship between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang's family is really good. Xu Da had to salute the prince, not because he was flattering, but because he was worried about the arrogant soldiers behind him and not giving the prince face. Therefore, he has to lay a foundation first and give the prince a prestige. so that the group of people behind did not dare to underestimate the prince.

For their own face or something. But I don't pay much attention to it.

After the prince and these ceremonies, the prince introduced He Xi to Xu Da and his party, and said: "This is He Xi, who is a secretary by his father's side. It is after the death of his father. Day and night. ”

He Xi immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "He Xi, a junior student, meet Wei Guogong." ”

He Xi looked at Xu Da, and had a feeling that it was actually difficult to live up to his fame, and in his mind, Xu Da was like a god with soldiers. Even if it's not the image of a lupine scarf, at least it must be mighty and domineering. But I don't want to be like an old peasant.

Xu Da looked at He Xi, and flashed for a while, since the army started in Huaixi. A lot of people's faces.

Without him, in his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang's deceased is almost his own deceased. This should be the orphan of the old brother. Just looked at it, and didn't see the figure of the old brother from He Xi's face. Especially the surname He.

Xu Da can't even remember who it is?

Could it be His Majesty's illegitimate son?

Xu Da couldn't help but think of this. But then Xu Da pressed down this thought, because Xu Da knew Zhu Yuanzhang too well. Whether it was or not, it wasn't something he couldn't think about.

Xu Da said: "Good boy, good. ”

The crown prince then accepted him to Fu Youde.

He Xi saluted as before. Fu Youde felt a little respectful. Just a few words of greeting.

Let's be honest. In He Xi's view, Fu Youde's image is more like the image of the ancients' military generals. Fu Youde has black hair and black beard, and his beard has a bit of teeth and claws. The shoulders are big and the waist is round, and the eyes are like torches. Between the walks, there is a general's domineering. However, in front of Xu Da, who looked like an old farmer, he didn't dare to be a little presumptuous.

Then He Xi saw Feng Sheng again.

Feng Sheng's original name, Feng Guosheng. In order to avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's secrecy. Zhu Yuanzhang is Guorui. He changed his name to Feng Sheng. In fact, Feng Sheng followed his brother Feng Guoyong to follow Zhu Yuanzhang. And Feng Guoyong is the one who proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang to take Jinling as the foundation.

It's a pity that the day is not a holiday, and before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he was already gone. When he died, he was only thirty-six years old. If Feng Guoyong does not die, his achievements may not be under Li Shanchang.

Feng Sheng is an honest man. There is an elderly style. It gives a very intimate feeling.

Finally, Mu Ying.

Mu Ying didn't see He Xi at all. He Xi saluted Mu Ying. said: "He Xi has seen Xiping Hou. ”

At this moment, Mu Ying is only in his thirties, which is the most golden age for a man, and he has a more majestic feeling. Mu Ying said: "You just call me Xiping Hou? ”

He Xi was stunned for a moment, not knowing where he had gone wrong. Today's Mu Ying only has the title of Marquis of Xiping. There's nothing wrong with that.

Mu Ying said: "Your Majesty instructed the prince to treat you like your own brother, then when you see me, you should be called eldest brother." ”

Mu Ying is the first adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang. When he was a child, he brought up several children such as the prince Zhu Biao. is loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao. It's like a family at all. Therefore, since Zhu Yuanzhang asked the prince to treat He Xi as his own brother, then Mu Ying is He Xi's eldest brother.

Of course, Mu Ying also has a little other idea when she does this. That is to position He Xi as the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, or the positioning of the orphan.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang set the identity for He Xi. There are many people who don't believe it. But the skeptics did not. Mu Ying didn't care if He Xi was Zhu Yuanzhang's illegitimate son. Anyway, such a positioning makes He Xi's identity unable to have disturbing associations.

And even He Xi is Zhu Yuanzhang's illegitimate son. In this life, there is a prince, and Mu Ying is a brother to take care of. It's not a disadvantage.

In this case, how could He Xi say a word "no", it would be too faceless, and He Xi also felt that Mu Ying was different from the rest of the generals. Mu Ying's foundation is in the palace, otherwise how would Mu Ying know about these things. said: "Big brother." ”

"Good brother." Mu Ying patted He Xi's shoulder happily and said, "The eldest brother shot a tiger in Beiping, and the most valuable thing was to shoot it from his mouth and kill him with one arrow." The tiger skin didn't have an eye. I gave it to my brother. As a greeting gift. ”

I saw that the group had all met. The prince smiled: "Okay." My father was waiting in the palace. Let's go. ”
