Chapter 31: The Great Star Sets in the South

As soon as Xu Da's expedition seal was sent, Zhu Yunwen immediately approved it.

Immediately, the Nanjing Jingying began to mobilize in an orderly manner and followed Xu Da's northern expedition. Their morale is high, after all, what kind of person Xu Da is. They all grew up listening to Xu Da's legends.

Feel like you are part of the legend of the future Wei Guogong.

It's just that they don't know that when he left Beijing, Xu Daqiang showed up in front of people, but it was the last time he appeared in public.

Crossing the Yangtze River. The army settled in the city of Yangzhou.

After staying in Yangzhou City for a few days, many people thought that they were preparing logistics, but in fact, Xu Da had reached the point of dying.

In the middle of the night, Xu Da suddenly woke up. Asked, "What time is it?"

Xu Huizu said with tears in his eyes, "It's time for the son."

Xu Da said, "Help me go out and have a look."

Immediately, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou helped Xu Da out of the room.

As soon as Xu Da raised his head, he saw that the stars in the sky were like snow, and they seemed to be in the palm of his hand. He seems to have returned to the past, followed Zhu Yuanzhang more than 20 people to leave the city of Haozhou, and stayed overnight in the wilderness, most of the people of that year were gone, and Zhu Chongba of that year was not as hateful as he was later.

Xu Da smiled slightly and said, "In my life, I have to meet the master, from a grass man to a soldier in the world, everything you attack will be broken, and you will be subdued. There are only three regrets, first, Wang Baobao was not killed by me, and the old hatred is difficult to snow. Second, I'm sorry for your mother, and third, I died twenty years early, and it's hard to see the new look of the art of war. No regrets."

Xu Da said that he was invincible, but in fact, he has always been haunted by the battle of Mobei.

The most difficult thing for gamblers to accept is that after the opponent wins, they don't gamble, and the most difficult thing to accept for playing the game is that the other party gets off the machine after winning. It can be seen that Xu Da is uncomfortable in his heart, he originally had a record of winning all, but he ended up in a tie in the hands of Wang Baobao.

For Xu Da, this is a big defeat.

Wang Baobao is actually dead, and he can't find the field. Xu Da is light on the surface, but he is lingering on the inside.

As for Xu Da's wife, when I said the Lancers, I said that the Xie family was in order to entrap the Lancers, Xu Da married the daughter of the Xie family, and later the Xie family rebelled, and what happened to Xu Da's wife in the end. At least who the mother of the sons of the Xu family is, there is a dispute among the historians.

It can be seen that there are some things that Xu Da is difficult to be autonomous.

Xu Da can foresee the next few decades, and it will definitely be the time for great military development. Because He Xi has already ignited the science and technology tree, the manufacture of the steam engine actually represents the progress of machining capabilities, and also represents the possibility of many new firearms.

It's just that today's technology is developing in a deformed way. The places that He Xi pays attention to develop quickly, and the places that He Xi does not pay attention to develop slowly.

And He Xi didn't understand the details of many weapon processing. He only knew what kind of weapon he wanted, but he didn't quite understand how to process it. And now there are enough firearms.

The people below also lack the idea of processing new weapons.

This has limited the development of firearms, and some restrictions on the development of firearms have also restricted the construction of new tactical ideas and new strategic directions.

The new tactics and ideas of the future are all based on new weapons.

Xu Da may understand these theories, or he may not understand them, but he knows that today's firearms tactics are not complete, and there is still a lot of room for development in the future, but he can't see it.

"What?" Zhu Yunwen was taken aback and said, "Wei Guogong died, and he is in Yangzhou. How is that possible?"

Ding Xian said, "The Wei Guogong Mansion has reported that Wei Guogong's health is not good many times?"

Zhu Yunwen said, "After so many years, when did Wei Guogong not report it?"

After Zhu Yunwen said this. Then he said fiercely: "Xu Da, Xu Da ------."

Some excessive words, swirling around Zhu Yunwen's mouth, just couldn't say it.

People die greatly, especially characters like Xu Da, the Duke of Wei. Zhu Yunwen said inappropriate things at this time, it was a big disappointment, no, Xu Da died of illness, already

It made him a big disappointment.

After all, Xu Da has resigned from the position of general many times, and many people know it.

It's just Xu Da's illness, and it's also the truth.

Xu Da's illness has been good and bad since he had surgery that year, and there are several emergencies every year, but in the end, nothing happened, and after a long time, no one took it seriously.

Not to mention that Xu Da also has a history of pretending to be sick. Zhu Yunwen always felt that Xu Da was pretending to be sick.

A lot of things are preconceived and the next thing is hard to change.

And Xu Da may not be kind to Zhu Yunwen.

Xu Da even deliberately deepened this misunderstanding. Because Xu Da wanted to fight the Northern Army from the beginning, on the one hand, Xu Da felt that he might not be able to win the Northern Army. Most importantly, his illness was never real. Now it's too uncomfortable, his body seriously affects his performance, and his current state is a compliment to say that he is still breathing. In this case, he was unwilling to give his own wisdom to the juniors in the north.

On the other hand, Zhu Yunwen's combination of soft and hard really made Xu Da feel cold.

It stands to reason that Zhu Yunwen and Xu Da should have a very close relationship, but Zhu Yunwen regarded Xu Da as an enemy from the beginning. This kind of hostility, Xu Da doesn't know where Zhu Yunwen came from. And Xu Dashen realized that Zhu Yuanzhang may have some arrangements, re-examined Zhu Yunwen's position, and did not mean to bow to Zhu Yunwen, and the relationship between the two sides fell into a dead knot.

Xu Da also found that if he didn't die, Zhu Yunwen would not end up with the Xu family, and he wouldn't want to live a peaceful life. simply fulfilled Zhu Yunwen's wish. Anyway, Xu Da's own body is also struggling to maintain, so he has a glimmer of life.

It's really too bitter, it's worse than death.

When dying, he also maximizes the benefits of his own death.

No matter what Zhu Yunwen thinks of himself? Did Zhu Yunwen feel that he was calculating him, Zhu Yunwen had to face the current situation, and tried his best to minimize the impact of his death.

What to do? Naturally, it was a great sorrow to die.

He specially left a message to let his sons keep filial piety for three years. Naturally, it is impossible not to do it.

Xu Da estimates that within three years, the outcome of this battle will be very clear. As long as Xu Huizu is not stupid enough to be a loyal minister to Nanjing, three years later, Xu Huizu will know how to choose.

If after this incident, Xu Huizu is still loyal to Zhu Yunwen. Don't want such a son.

Zhu Yunwen naturally didn't know Xu Da's calculations.

It's just that Zhu Yunwen also felt deep malice.

In other words, Zhu Yunwen was born to be incompatible with Xu Da. It's not that he has any personal grudges with Xu Da, on the contrary, the Xu family has a close relationship with the Zhu family. The root of all this comes from Zhu Yunwen's education.

Zhu Yunwen is an orthodox Confucian education plus God's heart.

Externally, benevolence, righteousness and morality are never wrong. But in selfishness, everything is measured by interests. All for the sake of keeping his power as the criterion.

And the power structure of the Ming Dynasty today, the greatest threat to the imperial power is the noble.

When Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne in history, Xungui had been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. And the military power of the nobles was also distributed to the vassal king, and the vassal king became the biggest opponent of the imperial power.

But now it is different, although the nobles are restricted in one way or another. But compared to most of the vassal kings abroad, Xungui is the emperor's biggest enemy, and Xu Da is the head of Xungui. Instinct made Zhu Yunwen feel threatened. Not to mention, Xu Da represents not only himself, but also Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because before Zhu Yuanzhang's death, in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Da had always been in charge of military power for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yunwen was worried that he wouldn't be able to take Xu Da.

Put Xu Da in a hostile position at the beginning.

After that, Xu Da had doubts about the succession to the throne, and naturally he was unwilling to bow to Zhu Yunwen. In this way, the situation of both sides, a vicious circle, back and forth. It can only be done in the direction of the worse and the worse.

Step by step, we have come to the point where we are today.

Let Xu Da calculate Zhu Yunwen when he is dying.

This is not something that Zhu Yunwen could have predicted, and he didn't think about this thing at the moment, he had to stand

i.e. clean up this mess.

Zhu Yunwen immediately ordered a funeral for the Duke of Wei, the scenery was greatly increased, the funeral of filial piety, and the posthumous gift of King Wei Zhongwu and so on. All kinds of over-spec treatment don't need to be smashed with money. and even prepare to greet the spirit in person.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is how to clean up the situation in the army?

There is no one else except Fu Youde.
