So throughout the winter, Zhu Su traveled back and forth between the Chunhe Hall and his own house, on the one hand, with Zhu Biao, the old Counselor Zhu, the reform of the supervised army, and the intelligence of Annan, on the other hand, he taught Zhu Xiongying the little knowledge about the political commissar's propaganda in his stomach.

In addition, he also began to look for helpers for Zhu Xiongying to help him properly complete the "supervising army" this time. Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin are indispensable. Going to Daning and promoting scripts and operas that echo the main theme of the Ming Dynasty in the army is one of the most important breakthrough points in Zhu Xiongying's attempt to reform the military system of the supervised army. Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin are both talents, and they have previously led the public opinion battle of "praising and killing" Wu Xun, and these two pen sticks arrived in Daning, and they are the right-hand men who wrote scripts and operas for Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Su's original most eye-catching candidate should be the old man Luo Guanzhong Luo, who wrote the Three Kingdoms. However, the old man is now over seventy, and if he goes all the way to Saiwai, he may have to bury his bones in a foreign land...... Therefore, they had to let Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin accompany them.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin were very willing, and they didn't think it was humiliating to let them go to the north to be a gentleman who wrote a script. First, in recent years, new learning has flourished, and the idea of "applying it to the world" has slowly influenced a new generation of readers, and writing books to open up people's wisdom and publishing articles in newspapers is no longer regarded by literati as a lower class for entertaining others.

Second, Zhu Xiongying is the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and his fortune is valued by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, and he is almost the third generation of the Ming Dynasty. can accompany him through this experience, will An Zhi have any greater achievements in the future?

On the other hand, in order to make Zhu Xiongying's trip go smoothly, Zhu Su gave the eldest nephew three injured and locked brocade boxes.

"Xiongying, you have to remember." Zhu Su handed over the three keys to Zhu Xiongying's hand and said to him solemnly. "Uncle Wei has already told you how to build momentum. When you go north this time, you only need to follow the steps step by step, and the matter of supervising the army should be safe. ”

"However, although the Tatar Ministry is not very strong, it is still a war after all, and there may be accidents."

"If there are no accidents, then there is no problem. But if there is an accident, the morale of the army is fluctuating, or you are in danger. ”

"You will open the corresponding brocade box according to the current situation and according to Uncle Wei's instructions today......" As he said, Zhu Su informed each brocade box of the corresponding situation one by one.

Zhu Xiongying listened carefully and was sure that he had heard it correctly, so he nodded solemnly. said to Zhu Su: "Uncle, rest assured, my nephew will do this beautifully, so as not to shame my father and uncle!" ”

Zhu Su has loved him very much since he was still in his mother's womb, except for the imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother, who are the most worried about whether his body is healthy. And this uncle is different from everyone else, he can always be imaginative, take him to do all kinds of different interesting things, and can teach him a lot of truths...... In terms of personal feelings, Zhu Xiongying's closeness to Zhu Su is even better than that of his biological father Zhu Biao, and his eyes are full of admiration when he looks at Zhu Su.

"As the grandson of Daming, it should not be ashamed of my Daming." Zhu Su patted Zhu Xiongying on the shoulder, then remembered something, and said to him: "By the way, you remember, you are going to the army to serve as a supervisor." ”

"You must not meddle in military affairs, nor should you affect the decisions of the army...... Don't even think it's funny, thinking about going to the battlefield with Benjamin...... Do you hear me? ”

As soon as these words came out, His Royal Highness Taisun, who was still well-behaved and obedient, collapsed visibly with the naked eye. He quibbled with some reluctance: "Fifth uncle, my nephews are all seventeen years old. ”

"Second uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle, when your nephew was his age, he had already fought with King Cheng Yu in Suzhou...... even went to sea to suppress the Japanese and went north to collect Liao. ”

"Why did you get to your nephew, and you didn't even let you go with the remnants of Meng Yuan?"

Zhu Xiongying is well-behaved and tight in front of his father on weekdays, but Zhu Su knows that in fact, this eldest nephew is a leather monkey in private. Zhu Biao's personality is polite, but Zhu Xiongying's nature is a bit like Zhu Di's childhood, a demon king of the world. Now casually said that this monkey cub was really thinking of going north to fight with Tatars, Zhu Su couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then said more solemnly:

"It is precisely because I and my second and fourth uncles have all been on the battlefield that we know that on the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, and it is by no means a place where the horseman can fight ruthlessly."

"Those Tartars will not show mercy because you are the grandson. On the contrary, because you are the grandson, they know very well that if they capture you, it will be of great benefit to them. ”

"Even if you really have the posture of a famous general, interfere in military affairs, and strategize, you can win a few battles against Tatar...... But as long as a horse stumbles, you have to have a case, for my Ming Dynasty, it is a great disaster. ”

"In order to protect your peace, the Chang family brothers will do their best. If something happens because of your misdeeds, even if there is a sea of swords and fires ahead, they will definitely go for you...... At that time, I don't know how many good men will bury your bones in the battlefield, and how much the court will pay for you. ”

"Military affairs are not child's play, and they are not for you to try and make mistakes...... You must not interfere in military affairs, even if you are the grandson, when you encounter a march and a war, you must take the commander's military order first, this is the responsibility of the supervising army, and you can't disobey it, you know? ”

“…… Yes, uncle, nephew knows. Zhu Xiongying was a little disappointed, but still nodded, indicating that he had listened to what Zhu Su said. Although he also yearns to lead the troops to fight, he also knows that his identity is not child's play, if it is because of himself, the good situation of Daming has been repeated, which is absolutely unacceptable to him.

In addition to Zhu Su, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao all called Zhu Xiongying separately, and gave him some advice. Then, when the ice and snow melted after the year, Zhu Xiongying took Fang Xiaoru, Xie Jin and a group of new students, as well as the guards arranged by Lao Zhu for him, left the imperial capital Yingtian and began to take a big boat to the north along the coastal road.

After more than a month of sailing at sea and another half a month of trekking, on the last day of March, Zhu Xiongying, the emperor's grandson, arrived at Daning City.

Daning Dusi, located outside the mouth of Xifeng, belongs to the land of ancient Huizhou, east of Liaozuo, west of Xuanfu, is a big town. It has jurisdiction over 22 guards and 3,000 households. Shanyang Wanhu, which is now Duoyan Sanwei, is also under the jurisdiction of the Daning Dusi. In history, this is the feudal domain of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, Zhu Quan has 80,000 armor soldiers, 6,000 leather cars, and the Daning troops at this time are not far apart. But now Lao Zhu has given up the idea of sealing the domain in the territory of the native country, so the Daning Dusi is directly under the jurisdiction of the central court at this time.

The generals stationed here to guard the town are Zheng Guogong Chang Mao and his younger brother Chang Sheng.
