Chapter 69: Veteran Tang Yun

The city gates of Beiping City are full of pedestrians.

"That monk looks familiar, who could it be?" Mo Changshi in the carriage retracted his gaze and thought carefully.

Yao Guangxiao also saw the carriage, but in his eyes, the ordinary carriage was not chic, and he did not take it to heart.

He did not go to Beiping Mansion to meet the prince, but went back to Qingshou Temple and sent two small novices to the palace to deliver Buddhist utensils.

The two novices saw the princess and gave them a wish, and the princess rewarded them with some sesame oil money, so that the temple could pray for the blessing of the Yan Palace.

When Zhu Gaochi went out, he bumped into two small novices, who were only regarded as a few temples dedicated to the Buddha Hall in the palace, similar to several temples in the Jia Mansion in the Red Mansion.

Zhu Neng and his colleagues, led Zhu Gaochi, rode the horses of the palace, and a group of more than ten people went to the military tun guarded in Yanshan.

"The middle guard is no different from other guards, and most of the military salary is provided by the military tun." Zhu Neng introduced to the little prince along the way, "There is also a small part of the military salary provided by the government, and some rewards will also be issued on the New Year Festival of King Yan." ”

Zhu Gaochi listened with great interest.

Things are constantly changing, and in the early days of the guard system, as Zhu Neng said, most of the guards were self-sufficient.

However, with the multiplication of military households, the income of military fields is beyond their means, and the per capita food is getting less and less, making it difficult to feed their families, let alone support the army.

Therefore, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court needed to transfer a large amount of money and silver to support the guards, forming a vicious circle.

The guards were not self-sufficient, and the state needed to allocate materials, so they needed to let the people serve in conscription and the people would transport them.

The burden on the peasants was heavy, and because of the loss of military strength, the Ming Dynasty's national defense was fragile, and the frontier could not be stabilized.

The guards could not fight, and could only recruit battalion soldiers, such as the customary Qi family army, Yu family army, etc.

It is equivalent to the need for the Ming Dynasty to support two layers of troops, which leads to the need to send additional ..... to the people

If the battalion soldiers can fight, such as the Qi family army and the Yu family army, they can win the enemy, but they can also alleviate one or two.

If you are afraid that you will not be able to defeat the enemy, but you will also consume money and food, and then it will cause more and more bad consequences.

"That's?"

Seeing a group of people waiting in the distance, Zhu Neng stopped, showing a hesitant look, a little unbelievable.

"It's the commander's banner." Li Biao was surprised.

Zhu Gao was stunned, and couldn't help but confirm: "Is it your commander?" ”

"That's right." Li Biao saw the other party clearly, and said excitedly: "It's our guard's Tang command." ”

You can't wait for yourself, right?

Zhu Gaochi didn't care whether the other party was waiting for him or not, and hurriedly brought someone forward to greet him.

Since you have met, even if the other party is not waiting for you, you can't slack off, if it's your father, it's natural that the other party will catch up.

But he is not the king of Yan, not even the son of the world, but a fourteen-year-old boy.

Even if the other party attaches importance to himself in his heart, as the commander of the other party, he will not pat himself on the back.

People have to be face-saving, the higher the position, the more so, without a good evaluation, isn't it a villain.

He, Zhu Gaochi, does not have this right and status, and it is worth letting a commander throw away his face.

Tang Yun, who was dressed in military uniform, was old and strong, although his temples were white, his energetic eyes showed that the veteran was not old.

When he learned that the eldest prince of King Yan had come to investigate the matter of the guard, he immediately guessed King Yan's intentions, in order to pave the way for the eldest prince.

As a commander, Tang Yun was willing to give up his old face for His Royal Highness King Yan and wait for the eldest prince on the road.

But he will never take the initiative to catch up, and he can't afford to lose this share. When he saw the behavior of the eldest prince, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Who is Shibo waiting for?"

The first time Zhu Gaochi saw the commander of the guard, it was not right, according to the memory of the original owner, he had seen it in other places.

However, it was in public, when there was a father, they did not meet alone, and the two did not have direct communication.

"Knowing that the eldest prince came to the guard in person, the old man specially greeted him." Tang Yun readily admitted that the eldest prince could call him Shibo in public, giving him enough face.

"How can the kid be so good, dare to bother Shibo." Zhu Gaochi's attitude was extremely respectful.

The reason why he is willing to pose as a junior is not only because of the identity of the person in front of him, but because in history, this person played a vital role in the original owner.

People say that the son Zhu Gaochi made great contributions to defending Beiping, but they ignored the efforts of Zhu Gaochi, who was only 20 years old at the time, and the veteran Tang Yun behind him.

Tang Yun was Zhu Di's right-hand man arranged for Zhu Gaochi to assist his son Zhu Gaochi to stay in Beiping.

In the face of countless enemy attacks, the defenders of Beiping were very reluctant to defend under Tang Yun's command, and they did not taste a single defeat in the battle.

Zhu Gaochi can be very sure that this person's current performance, combined with the past in history, this commander will be the biggest pillar of the Shizi family.

With Tang Yun's identity and prestige as a defender in China, his influence is not comparable to that of the rising star Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng may have more talent for fighting than Tang Yun, but Tang Yun's qualifications are here, and it is not that Zhu Neng can easily catch up.

"You are the eldest son of King Yan, how can you not afford it." Veteran Tang Yun has seen the eldest prince in the crowd a few times, and the eldest prince was still young at that time, so he didn't know about it.

Today was the first formal contact between the two in private, and the attitude of the eldest prince made Tang Yun deeply gratified, and he was worried about it again.

He is loyal to King Yan, and the future son respects him so much, what worries do he have, so he naturally deals with King Yan's father and son as usual.

"Are you a kid of the Zhu family?" Tang Yunsao looked familiar to Zhu Neng and the others, and asked thoughtfully.

"It's Zhu Neng under the mark, meet the commander." Zhu Neng stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and arched his hand.

"Mark Li Biao and meet the commander."

……

"Since the little prince looks up to you and lets you follow him, this opportunity is not easy to come by, don't let the little prince down."

Tang Yun waved his hand generously, not angry because his subordinates were clinging to the nobles behind their backs, but sternly disciplined everyone.

This move indirectly shows that he really puts Yanwangfu in the first place in his heart, and he has no selfishness, so he can think about the nobles.

Whether it's true or not, but the gesture is done.

And Zhu Gaochi, who knows history well, can say with certainty that this person did not cheat, he was indeed sincere, and he died for King Yan's father and son.

"The little prince is guarding in the middle and doing things at ease, who dares to do things for the little prince because he is young, he will not do things for the little prince, and let people tell the old man."

"Thank you Shibo for your love, and the junior has the cheekiness to accept it." Zhu Gaochi's eyes were full of smiles.

This time the harvest is great, at least let myself have some confidence.

For a long time, Zhu Gaochi has no bottom in his heart about the future of Jingjing, and he has pinned his hopes on Zhu Di and the second child.

Now that there is the veteran Tang Yun and Zhu Neng, who will shine in the future, and there are several talents in his hands, Zhu Gaochi has added a little confidence.
