Chapter 1: The gloomy clouds
Yongle 7th year, August 21.
I don't know if it's a good day today, but it's definitely not a good day for the Ming Dynasty to the emperor and the people.
Shortly before that, the north was 800 miles away, and the 100,000 army led by Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, and the Guanwai were completely annihilated by the Tatar Khan Benya, and all the soldiers were killed in battle.
100,000 good men of the Ming Dynasty were buried in Mobei.
"Temple...... Your Highness ......"
At the foot of Jubao Mountain, a person who looked like a eunuch was standing tremblingly outside a Zhuangzi, looking like he wanted to enter but didn't dare to go in.
"Huh?" Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and looked at his personal eunuch.
"Come in, what am I afraid of you?"
In fact, it's no wonder that Xiaofugui is timid, there are twelve dogs in this yard, each with a shoulder height of nearly one meter, and everyone who looks fierce and vicious is worried.
"Forget it, you'd better wait." Zhu Zhanyan looked at Xiao Fugui's timid appearance and had no choice, so he distributed the meat in his hand to the dogs who were squatting beside him, and then walked out of the yard.
This blue and white dog is very wild, basically no one pays attention to it except the owner's words, and there is that kind of fierce temperament that will bite back even if it is beaten by the owner.
On weekdays, except for Zhu Zhanyan and Zhu Ling, Zhu Zhanyan's personal guard, no one dares to come in.
"What's wrong?"
After leaving the courtyard, Zhu Zhanyan asked while washing his hands.
"His Royal Highness, something is wrong!" When Zhu Zhanyan said this, Xiao Fugui reacted and said in a hurry.
"The news from the front line came back, saying that the Duke of Qi was defeated, and all of our 100,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were killed in Mobei, and even the Duke of Qi, the Marquis of Jing'an, the Marquis of Tongqing, the Marquis of Anping and the Marquis of Wucheng were all killed on the battlefield!"
Zhu Zhanyan's hand paused, and he slowly spoke: "I know, you should retreat first." ”
Xiao Fugui is a little strange, the death of this prince and the fourth marquis in battle is definitely a major event among the major events, why did His Royal Highness the Prince not react at all?
However, he is not qualified to ask about the affairs of the main family, so he can only bow his head and retreat.
Zhu Zhanyan finished wiping his hands, threw the silk scarf aside, turned around and entered the courtyard again.
Although this year, when the old man Zhu Di decided to let Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, lead an army of 100,000 to defeat the Tatar Khan Benjamin who killed the Ming envoy, he knew that these 100,000 soldiers would most likely not come back.
After all, if there was no such thing, the old man would not have driven the expedition in person, let alone spent his life flying six times and crossing five times.
But knowing is knowing, he has no way to stop it.
Let's not say that he is easy to provoke as a prince of the Han Dynasty, just say that if he says it, how many people will believe it?
Besides, he is not the one who has the most headaches, and the ones who have the most headaches are still in the palace.
Emperor Ying's Palace, Wenhua Palace.
The emperor toured the north, and Zhu Gaochi, who was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, was in charge of supervising the country, but as soon as the news of Qiu Fu's defeat came back, even Zhu Gaochi was a little out of proportion.
That's 100,000 soldiers, just died in Mobei, if you want to say that the number is equal or the number of enemies is far superior to the Ming army, then defeat is defeated, and there is nothing to say if the skills are not as good as people.
But now it's 100,000 against 30,000! Although Benjamin sent a total of 140,000 troops in the follow-up, Qiu Fu had already shown defeat in the face of the 30,000 enemy troops who attacked him.
"Boss! Did you know it? ”
A rough voice sounded outside the Wenhua Palace, and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but have a headache.
Although he knew from the moment he received the news that his younger brothers would take the opportunity to make trouble, Zhu Gaochi still couldn't help but have a headache when it came.
"I told me to go at the beginning, but you don't agree, okay!?" King Han strode into the Wenhua Palace, his tone full of aggressiveness.
"One hundred thousand! That's 100,000 soldiers! How can you tell me to explain to the brothers in the 3,000 battalion!? ”
"That's it!" Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, entered the palace first, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, also followed.
"The Wai Executioner Battalion also suffered heavy losses this time, boss, what do you say we should do!?"
"The two younger brothers are at ease." Zhu Gaochi had a headache, but he couldn't escape, so he could only bite the bullet.
The old man is now patrolling the north of Shuntian, and there is really no one who can hold them.
"I didn't let the two of you go because you are royal relatives, and if you are defeated and captured, it will have a great impact on our Ming Dynasty."
"If people use you as a threat, Daming will be controlled everywhere."
"And now!?" Zhu Gaoxu finally found a good opportunity, and naturally he was unforgiving.
"100,000 soldiers died in Mobei! Boss, how do you let us explain to the soldiers of the three battalions? How can you explain to the people of the world!? ”
"Shut up!"
"Holy Ride to ......"
The two voices made the three Zhu Gaochi brothers stunned.
Why did the old man's voice sound first, and the eunuch's voice came later?
No, when did the old man come back? Isn't he still patrolling the Suncheon Mansion?
Surprise returned to surprise, but the three Zhu Gaochi brothers reacted quickly and retreated to the side, kneeling on the ground and saluting.
"The son visits his father." ×3。
"One prince, two vassal kings, what's the point of arguing like this!?"
Zhu Di strode into the Wenhua Hall and sat in the most central position.
"Dad, when did you come back, why don't you have a letter......"
Zhu Gaochi looked at his two younger brothers, and he didn't expect them to stand up, so he could only speak first.
Anyway, if they didn't open their mouths, the old man would have to start squirting from him in a while.
"Can I not come back!?" Zhu Di slapped the table suddenly, causing the three brothers to shrink their necks at the same time.
"100,000 soldiers died in Mobei! If something like this happens, can I not come back!? ”
The family atmosphere of the Zhu family has actually been very good, although there are constant battles in the open and secret, but they are still very harmonious on the surface, and Zhu Di basically does not call himself me in front of his family.
In the same way, when he called himself me, it proved that he was angry, and it was quite serious.
"And the second child!" After spraying the boss, Zhu Di pointed the finger at the second child again.
"You still say Qiu Fu!? What, now you can stand it!? Who doesn't know your nature!? Let you go and pay it back!? ”
"And the third child!"
"Don't cower! Your enclosure camp is back to fight the tightest! Cleaning up the battlefield is the fastest! You think I don't know!? ”
A current crown prince, the executive vice emperor of the Ming Dynasty, two vassal kings, and a vassal king who made meritorious contributions in the Battle of Jingjing, was scolded by Zhu Di at this moment.
But also, on the outside, they are the crown prince and the vassal king, but in front of Zhu Di, they are sons.
As the so-called Lao Tzu beats his son, it is justified!
Zhu Gaochi and the three of them naturally didn't dare to let go of a fart.
