Chapter 12: The Friendship of the King and the General
The veteran Fu Youde is Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted general.
At least in terms of military talent.
Zhu Yuanzhang once said in public, "In terms of generals, Fu Youde is the first." ”
The northern expedition is divided into two roads, the west road is King Jin, and the east road is Yan King Zhu Di.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was not at ease, so the east and west roads arranged escorts for his sons, not to mention the west road, the east road was Fu Youde.
With Fu Youde here, Zhu Yuanzhang is worry-free and will not worry about the failure of the Northern Expedition.
But Fu Youde had to sigh.
The talent of King Yan.
has far surpassed him.
This war, the merits and deeds were successful, whether merit or virtue, as well as the outcome after the war, the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the history of the past, there are only a handful.
does not damage one of their own side, but increases tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
Battle.
If you fight like this.
Who can be the opponent of King Yan?
Fu Youde bowed to the wind and was willing.
What he didn't know was.
It is precisely because of this battle that he was happy and convinced of King Yan, and laid the groundwork for his future death, which is a pity.
In fact, it is not that no one was injured.
However, compared to the scale of the battle, those few casualties are really not worth mentioning.
Current events make people.
Zhu Di has changed.
In the past few days, it has changed a lot, and his personality has become more and more calm.
It used to be like a peerless sword, so sharp that people couldn't look at it directly.
Now him.
Like a sword in its sheath.
The bottom is not visible.
"Everything has been decided, and you can return to the court."
"This time, the general will take Naier and return to the capital without spending them, we will stay in Beiping and settle the population of Guishun."
Although the war has stopped, there are still many problems to be faced.
The weather on the grassland is harsh, except for the people who are forced to do so, no one wants to live in the grassland, and the huge grassland can't support people.
At the end of a winter day, countless livestock can freeze to death.
How to manage the grassland, Zhu Di can't think of a perfect solution for the time being.
"Good."
Fu Youde has no opinion.
In addition to the crown prince, the king of Jin and the king of Yan attach the most importance to the throne.
King Yan's pro-army in Beiping was 3,000 people at the beginning, and now it has more than 10,000 people, which shows its strength.
Moreover, King Yan's territory is the capital of the previous dynasty, which shows his status in the heart of the upper position.
"Report."
Someone outside the account reported that it was a letter from Beiping.
The corners of Zhu Di's eyes moved.
Let someone send it immediately.
There are two letters.
Zhu Di is not afraid of hardship, but he misses his wife very much.
Treat others as you please.
He knew that the sergeants were also homesick.
Before winter.
The generals' strategy was to stay up until spring and fight again.
Zhu Di did not agree or refute.
Silently came to the army, mingled with the soldiers, and heard their hearts from the soldiers.
This battle.
Fight early and finish early.
They would rather endure more hardships than stay in the desert for a few more moments.
The wishes of the soldiers cannot be violated.
contributed to Zhu Di's courage to defy public opinion.
Everyone is worried about his wife and children, and Zhu Di is also very concerned, so he didn't care that Fu Youde was still in the account, and opened his wife's letter directly.
His brow furrowed, and he furrowed.
Finally, he let go and smirked.
The princess's letter was commonplace.
It's really just a letter from home.
Beiping is miscellaneous, annoying, the eldest is disobedient, the second is naughty, the third is bored, and there is no worry-free child.
I miss my husband and want to have another obedient son.
Fu Youde quipped: "What good news did the princess say, which made King Yan so happy. ”
Before the expedition, King Yan was difficult to approach, and after the victory, King Yan was unfathomable, and it was rare to see tenderness on his face.
"Parents are short, children are disobedient."
King Yan felt embarrassed.
"Every family is like this, if you don't fight, you can't get a weapon, there is no one who can't be solved by a beating, and you will be honest if you are beaten."
"We used to use sticks to draw, but we were blocked by the cheap inside, so we switched to wicker."
At this time, there was no King Yan and a general.
Two fathers talk about parenting.
"It's so thin, so soft, how can it hurt to hit someone?" King Yan said while gesturing.
"We found out later."
Speaking of this, King Yan became a little annoyed.
"Beat us Chi'er hard, we thought he was innocent, how could the boy be afraid of pain, and then we tried it on ourselves before we knew."
"It really hurts to beat people with wicker."
"Blame us for a good time."
"Tell us that although it is easy to beat people with wicker, it is not easy to hurt the body, but it cannot be beaten to death."
"What the princess said is very true, the eldest prince was not hurt, right?"
Fu Youde asked with concern.
"Ugh." Zhu Di sighed and patted his thigh fiercely
"Since that day, our Chi'er has changed his temperament, and he has become estranged from us, so we can't compensate him, right?"
"Hmm."
Fu Youde nodded.
"There is no reason in the world for fathers to bow their heads to their sons, if this is the case, it will damage the reputation of the eldest son."
After thinking about it, he persuaded again: "The blood of father and son is thicker than water, the eldest prince was just beaten ruthlessly, and he was afraid, but how can there be a reason to hold a grudge for a lifetime, after all, it is father and son, and King Yan will return home this time, maybe it will be fine." ”
Zhu Di agreed: "We think the same way." ”
One is the first general of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the first feudal king of the Ming Dynasty.
Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.
Wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants.
Although there was no wine in the tent, the two opened their hearts and had the same thoughts, and the more they talked, the more cheerful they became.
actually felt that the other party was really their own year-old friend.
Zhu Di didn't read the second letter.
The second letter came from the Qin Palace.
For his second brother, Zhu Di doesn't like it.
The former element is brutal.
Influenced by the former Yuan, although the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, the atmosphere among domestic noble officials has not been reversed.
The attitude towards the people has the style of the former Yuan, beating and scolding like a slave.
My father made great efforts to this end, and even stripped the skin of corrupt officials and corrupt officials to warn everyone that he had worked hard to reverse the trend for many years.
When the second brother arrived in the domain, not only did he not abide by the family motto, but he got carried away.
Zhu Di was dissatisfied with the second brother's way of acting, but he didn't dare to accuse, and he had no right to control it.
You don't need to read the letter, Zhu Di can guess the content.
After the East Window incident, his father arrested the second brother back to the capital and wanted to kill his head, and the second brother wrote letters everywhere begging for help and asking people to intercede.
Now that the request has reached his head, Zhu Di is unwilling to pay attention to it.
It's not that he doesn't miss brotherhood.
is afraid of upsetting his father, and at the same time hopes that the second brother can learn a lesson.
Zhu Di is most like Zhu Yuanzhang and the most important to the people.
Yongle the Great.
The people are the safest.
Later generations officially recognized the prosperity of Yongle.
This is the real boom.
Science and technology and culture, military and economy, and society have entered an all-round recovery and entered prosperity.
There are no hidden crises, no political corruption, no social contradictions, no signs of decay, no regression of civilization.
Like the rising sun.
But King Qin is the second brother after all.
More important.
His other identity is the order of the Zongren Mansion.
Whether by identity or status, they are all qualified to manage Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was in a dilemma.
If he doesn't help King Qin, he will inevitably cause King Qin's revenge in the future.
But he really didn't want to help.
