Twenty-six years of Hongwu.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, the kings became vassals.

Outside the Zhengyang Gate, the loess is paved with clear water.

There are also more than a dozen large tents made of yellow silk and pines and cypresses in the suburbs, which are decorated with splendid decorations and are full of fine wine, seasonal fruits and snacks.

Civil and military officials, come to see them off in person.

Farther away, the military flag is mighty, and the soldiers and horses are everywhere.

Zhu Yunxi is also among them, and he will leave Beijing today.

"Father, my son is reluctant to give up on you!"

Acting King Zhu Gui, who is about to enter Datong Mansion in Shanxi, is eighteen years old and reluctant to give up like a child.

Princess Xu had a big belly, and she was about to give birth in less than three months, and she was specially ordered to sit in the carriage.

"Father!"

"Father!"

Six or seven more voices.

Su Wang Zhu Ao, in Gansu Pingliang Mansion.

Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, was in Guangning Mansion in eastern Liaodong.

Zhu Chang, the king of Qing, was in Ningxia, an important military town on the nine borders of the domain.

Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, became a vassal of Daning.

Zhu Yang, the king of Min, was in Yunnan.

Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, was in the important town of Xuanfu on the nine sides of the domain.

In addition to Zhu Yang, the king of Min, these vassal kings will all go to the border of the Great Wall.

Of course, Zhu Yang's life is not easy, Yunnan is also a border area, and the conditions are worse than those of Jiubian.

At the time of separation, Zhu Yuanzhang gave each vassal king a jade belt.

He personally wore a jade belt for the King of Liao: "Little Fifteen, your palace of the King of Liao has not yet been built, what my father means, I will first temporarily stay in the military camp north of the Daling River, and use the camp as a palace." ”

"Yes, Father!" Zhu Zhi responded, without a trace of displeasure.

Zhu Yunxi on the side was greatly admired.

The Daling River, a well-known place in the history of the Ming Dynasty, was frequently mentioned because of the war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Daling River meant an armistice border with the Qing army.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at King Qing: "Little Sixteen, your fiefdom Ningxia Town is outside the border, and it is a newly established guard, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ensure your safety, you have to be very careful, don't go out to make waves, do you know?" ”

King Qing Zhu puffed up his chest: "Erchen is not afraid, if the Northern Yuan Tartars dare to come, Erchen will personally lead the troops and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and applauded: "My son's courage is commendable!" ”

Turning around, he said to the general who was escorting King Qing: "King Qing has temporarily changed to Weizhou City, authorized to manage the military affairs of Qingyang, Ningxia, Yan'an, and Suide, and is responsible for guarding the territory of Saishang. ”

King Qing's child is only fifteen years old, how can he be so reckless? It's better to be steady.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was like an ordinary old father.

"Father, I want to change it too!"

Zhu Yang, the king of Min, came up and complained: "I don't want to go to Yunnan, I also want to go to the north to kill the Tartars!" ”

The last time Huang Zicheng was put into a sack and beaten, Zhu Yang was sent to Yunnan from the original Minzhou Wei in Shaanxi.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his son's tender cheek with his big hand: "Yunnan is warm, there are many toasts who make trouble there, you go and teach them a lesson." ”

Zhu Yang is only fourteen years old, wouldn't he be sent to death if he went to the north so naughty?

It's different when you hit toast, they're weak and helpless, so it's easy to clean up!

If you poke out the big basket, there will be the Mu family to help wipe your buttocks.

Wearing the jade belt, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the kings to turn around and let him look at the ornaments behind the belt.

All the kings turned their backs to the imperial father, but Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, did not turn around, but turned his belt to his father to check.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

Zhu Quan replied: "The monarch must not betray him!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved when he heard this, he patted Zhu Quan's thin shoulder: "Seventeen, when you arrive in Daning, you must remember to recover Duoyan Sanwei, if they are disobedient, write to tell your father!" ”

Zhu Quan nodded, and said in a firm tone: "Father is relieved, if they don't listen to the temperance of the sons, the sons will do it themselves and cut off their dogs' heads!" ”

"Uncle Seventeen is doing well!" Zhu Yunxi stepped forward to encourage.

According to the historical books, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, was known for being good at strategy.

He brought 80,000 armor and 6,000 chariots in his fiefdom, and the three cavalry of Duoyan were all brave and good at fighting.

Zhu Quan also joined the kings to fight many times, and the enemy changed when he heard it.

In the battle of Jingyan, if Zhu Di, the king of Yan, did not have Zhu Quan's soldiers and horses to help, he was afraid that it would be difficult to fight.

"Ready, let's go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved at the kings and turned away.

"Yes!"

The kings answered, holding the jade belt, and said goodbye to their brothers with tears.

"Take care!"

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and hugged the vassal kings one by one.

This distinction can be seen for a few months or years.

And among the vassal kings, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other a few times in a lifetime.

There will hardly be a picture of several people getting together.

"Get on the horse!"

"Wow!" With a bang, thousands of armor soldiers turned over and got on their horses, and the sound of armor leaves colliding was surging.

Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized the 12 guards of the pro-army, and each prince was escorted by a pro-army of 5,000 people until the fief.

There are also brocade guards to protect the kings.

"The world is so big, we must build a screen, defend the country, and live in peace. Now that the sons are long, it is advisable for each to have a title and divide the towns into kingdoms......"

"I am not a personal relative, but I follow the system of the ancient sages and kings, and it is a plan for long-term peace and long-term rule!"

While the officials of the Ministry of Rites were singing and cheering, the war horses neighed.

All kinds of flags were surging, and the mighty men and horses were slowly moving into the distance.

"They are just teenagers, and they have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting their families and defending the country."

Watching his sons leave, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Grandpa ......."

Zhu Yunwen stepped forward to comfort.

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped away his tears, looked at the two imperial grandchildren, and regained his spirit: "Let's hurry up and set off." ”

During the Chinese New Year, it was delayed for nearly a month, and it was time to complete the third exam.

"Yes!"

Zhu Yunxi was already ready.

"Grandpa take care, grandson will live up to his expectations!"

After speaking, Zhu Yunxi put on his robe, turned over on his horse, raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

The three thousand Jingwei behind him quickly followed and went straight to Suzhou Mansion.

After eating ashes for a while, Zhu Yunwen went on the road without hurry.

There were also 3,000 Beijing guards escorted out of Beijing.

......

The twenty-second day of the first month.

Zhu Yunxi's brigade inspecting the south of the Yangtze River entered Suzhou City in a mighty way.

Behind the dense banners and banners were three thousand tiger guards in fine armor and cloud-winged helmets.

With the march of the honor guard brigade, the iron hooves rumbled, and a momentum of slaughter spread, and the people who stopped to watch in Suzhou City were already silent.

"King Wu?"

Seeing the flag number, some people sighed.

Prior to this, there was also a King Wu in the city of Suzhou, his surname was Zhang, and his name was Zhang Shicheng.

Because of his kindness, Zhang Shicheng has a very high reputation among Suzhou people.

A year before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da to be the chief commander and Chang Yuchun to be the deputy commander to attack Suzhou.

At that time, Suzhou was called Longping Mansion, which was the capital of Zhang Shicheng's secession regime.

Zhang Shicheng couldn't bear it, and led tens of thousands of pro-troops to risk breaking through, but as soon as he left the city, he met Chang Yuchun's evil star and was cut down.

Zhang Shicheng continued to run away with the pro-army, and killed Wang Bi halfway.

Wang Bi and Chang Yuchun surrounded and forced Zhang Shicheng's more than 10,000 elite guards into the sand basin pool, killing three-tenths and drowning seven-tenths.

Zhang Shicheng himself fell into the water and was almost drowned, but finally his own soldiers risked his life to rescue him and flee back to the city.

When I went back, I hanged myself.

Zhang Shicheng's King Wu has a lot of weight in the hearts of the people of Suzhou.

Now King Wu of the Ming Dynasty also appears in Suzhou Mansion, and many people have a different feeling in their hearts.
