Chapter 373: The Crying Brother
The avenue of Yingtianfu is very straight and wide.
It's like a straight line.
Fifteen horses can walk in parallel, the shocking road seems to have no end in sight, and the porches on both sides, with all kinds of shops below, are rich in goods, witnessing the abundance of productivity.
An ordinary horse-drawn carriage was moving.
There was an official sitting in the carriage, in his thirties, which was the richest and strongest age, and it was the official ladder created by Zhu Yuanzhang.
It has been nearly 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
These officials in their thirties can be said to have grown up under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, reading the books of Chinese sages and sages, and understanding the way of Chinese civilization.
The officer's eyes were sparkling.
Looking at the street through the car window, I seem to be looking for something.
In the depths of the straight, there are many side streets.
At every passing distance, there will be a large and beautiful torii, made of stone, like the bricks laid on the ground.
There are many houses behind the torii, generally with three gates, the middle is the gate, and the rest are smaller, but extremely coordinated.
Not including the suburbs, from the east gate to the north gate of Yingtianfu, it takes summer daylight and a good horse to do it.
Outside the door are neat trees, which look beautiful, give the street life, and can also provide people with shade.
in the house.
The walls resemble milky white walls, which look like smooth white paper, and the floors are paved with large and flat ashlar stones.
The officer saw several acquaintances meet in the street, saluting each other and talking warmly, and he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
"Brother Sheng, you, you like to watch these."
The coachman is the old servant of the family.
"Haha, these everyday things." The middle-aged official is very gentle, like a jade-like gentleman.
But this is in the eyes of ordinary people, and if those corrupt and illegal officials encounter him, they will be frightened.
"It's our Daming."
"What's so strange about that?" The old coachman smiled, his own young master was raised by him since he was a child.
The middle-aged official shook his head,
The whole street is very clean, and the whole city is clean and hygienic, to be precise, including in public places.
There are tea stalls that provide tea for people, food shops for eating, and the ground is very clean, including horse-drawn carts and mule carts entering the city, and livestock will be hung with dung pockets.
The carriage left Yingtianfu and went down this straight road, which is characterized by flatness.
Even when passing over a hillside.
The roads are paved with masonry and stone, and when encountering the river, there are solid stone bridges to ensure the passage of people.
"Big brother."
A young man who was studying saluted his eldest brother who had suddenly returned home, and the middle-aged official helped his younger brother up.
"Can Kedao have confidence in the coming year?"
The young man smiled wryly, "Brother doesn't dare to compare with brother." ”
The middle-aged official patted the young man on the shoulder, took his hand and asked: "You don't have to be an official to study, you can understand the truth of the world to not go through this experience in vain." ”
Evening.
The two brothers talked at night in the courtyard.
"I'm going to Beiping."
"Brother?"
Young people are in a hurry.
"Peking is not easy to go."
The eldest brother is the imperial history, and when he goes to Beiping, he naturally wants to supervise the place, but the murderous reputation of Beiping is outside, and the young man does not want the eldest brother to take risks.
The middle-aged man had a calm face and said unhappily: "I am the official of the Ming Dynasty, supervising the clarity of the world, and there is no place in the world that I am not good to go to." ”
"Beiping is the Beiping of the Ming Dynasty, how can I go."
After being taught a lesson by his brother, the young man explained, "But the Yan Wangfu doesn't think so. ”
The middle-aged man sighed and did not continue to teach his younger brother.
That's why he came home all of a sudden.
The younger brother was also frightened.
He understood why his brother had suddenly come home, this was his last words, and the young man knelt on the ground with a "poof".
"Brother."
The middle-aged man sat on the bench and touched his younger brother's shoulder, "I've been on a business trip for many years, and I haven't seen you for a few years, but you've grown up." ”
"Brother."
The young man crawled on the middle-aged man's knee and cried, "I can't go to anyone else, I have to go to Beiping." ”
"I won't go, let others go, there is no such reason in the world." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Actually, I also want to go to Peking to have a look."
The middle-aged man's face was calm.
"I talked to Lian Zining, Beiping is very wealthy, the people are very peaceful, this peace should not be disturbed, but it should not be controlled in the hands of ambitious people."
"Isn't Brother Lian also running a factory in Yingtianfu?"
Young people find a reason.
The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "Although Lian Zining is doing this, he said that the development speed is far inferior to that of Beiping, and he still hasn't figured out what the reason is." ”
The middle-aged man explained a lot to his younger brother.
It is nothing more than to study hard, learn more truths, establish the way of life, and not be in vain.
Early the next morning, the middle-aged man left home.
This time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate took action and arranged dozens of guards for the middle-aged man to exchange money in Yingtianfu.
At the dock outside Yingtianfu, dozens of guards, some wearing patched clothes, stayed blankly on the dock where people came and went.
A boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old ran behind a veteran, who was very short and had a relatively large head.
He bent his legs, picked up the water bag on the veteran's waist, raised his head and drank, and the veteran chatted with the rest of the people, and did not move, lest the baby in the guard house choke.
"Your baby has arrived in Beiping, don't run around." The veteran then explained, and said with a nervous face, "It's not a good errand to go back to Beiping this time, and it's not good to make trouble." ”
The baby's family has bad luck.
His son died of illness at a young age, and his mother went into the city to sell the cloth she had woven and disappeared.
Some say she ran away with someone, others say she was abducted, and she was seen on a riverboat somewhere.
It's impossible to tell whether it's or not, but when you look at it from a distance, the figure looks very similar, and it's being held.
Either way, there is nothing they can do about it.
The baby is the eldest in the family, and he made up for his father's position and came to the Wei Institute as a Zhengding, and his younger brother who ate a hundred family meals in the Wei Institute became Yu Ding.
This is a hard work, but in the end, it also gave the two brothers something to eat.
The thirteen-year-old boy didn't care, his heart was still full of curiosity about the world.
Finally.
The people they were waiting for came, and the officials were very kind, and they took the boat north.
In the canal near the Daimyo Mansion in Kaifeng, their boat touched the king's boat, flying the flag of the king of Yan, and the two boats met and passed.
"It's strange, is it King Yan sitting on the boat?"
The middle-aged official heard the question in his ear, and a smile appeared on his face, it seemed that the colleagues in the imperial court had won the battle, and King Yan still didn't dare to mess around, and he had more confidence in his errand this time.
……
Zhu Gaochi arrived in Tianjin by boat from Lushun, but he was not in a hurry to go back, but stayed in Tianjin, and everyone couldn't figure out the little prince's thoughts.
When Zhu Di left Beiping, he left the authority of Beiping to Zhu Gaochi, including the royal guards.
The royal guards had no other function, they were responsible for the "king" within ten steps.
Tianjin is getting more and more lively.
It not only has the support of Beiping, but also becomes a transit point for the exchange of materials between Jinzhou and Beiping, and connects the canal.
The complexion of the people was white and red, as was the case with most people in the interior, which was a sign of good health, and their hair was tied up in a bun and covered with nets, and they wore various hats.
Although Beiping began to try to weave wool, and there was a large amount of cheap wool in Beiping, textiles in the south were still the mainstream.
Zhu Neng strode into the mansion where Zhu Gaochi temporarily lived, bringing with him the military situation in the north.
"According to the news that the Joint Office of the Military Industry has learned from the Ministry of Familiarity, the hostile forces led by Ha Thorn Wuhai are ready to move, and they are likely to take advantage of the opportunity for the prince to leave Beiping to invade Daning Kaiping."
"Ha Thorn Vulture?"
Zhu Gaochi remembered this Taiji, who had personally promoted his reputation to an incomparably higher level.
Prestige is everything.
This Taiji, who has been promoted in Beiping for a long time, has a great reputation, not only for everyone in Beiping, but also for the grassland.
Many believed that this man would lead them back to their former glory and reconquer the Central Plains.
After all, the people in the Central Plains say that this person is powerful, and this person can live well for so long, so he must be a person with great ability.
"Okay, let's all come." Zhu Gaochi said softly.
"I've raised the Ha Thorn Wuhai for so long, I don't know how many people he has wooed, so take advantage of the opportunity for him to come and wipe out all those ambitious people, and return the grassland and the Central Plains to a peaceful place."
Zhu Neng looked at the little prince, waiting for his next command.
"How many people do you need?"
Zhu Gaochi asked rhetorically.
Zhu Neng couldn't help but clench his fists, "My subordinates have never led an army. Zhu Neng finally gave up the impulse in his heart and said truthfully.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile, "In the entire Beiping, only my father has led a large army, and there used to be a Yingguo Duke Fu Youde, but this person is no longer there." ”
That's the state of the North.
In the westernmost part is the old general Song Sheng, who is in charge of the whole and stabilizes the western part of the Ming Dynasty.
Then in the north, the king of Jin led a large army, but there was no credit, at most it can only be said that there was hard work, not to mention that his former assistant generals were not there.
Only Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is the generalissimo who has led a large army and has never failed.
When Zhu Di left, except for Song Sheng in the west, there was no commander in the north who had led a large army and had no defeats.
Zhu Gaochi can only choose handsome talents from among the generals.
Chen Heng and Tang Yun had to stay in Beiping, and with the two of them controlling the guns in Beiping, Zhu Gaochi dared to stay in Tianjin.
Qiu Fu wanted to control Miyun and use the stone box camp to deter Kaiping and Daning.
Zhang Yu is not completely relieved to use it at present.
Chen Xian needs to stabilize Yanshan Sanwei.
Fang Kuan should stay in Daning.
……
After counting, the most suitable person at the moment is only Zhu Neng in front of him.
"Zhu Neng, I see your growth over the years, I have confidence in you, you must also have confidence in yourself, when it is time to take responsibility, don't avoid responsibility."
"No."
Zhu Neng clenched his fists with both hands and did not hesitate.
"I only need three battalions of new troops."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure." Zhu Neng said firmly: "If there are more soldiers, maybe they will scare them away, only if there are few people, they will not hesitate, and the battle will be decided." ”
"Okay."
Zhu Gaochi clapped his hands.
If Zhu Neng will betray himself, it will not be Zhu Neng's reason, but his own reason.
The new army, Zhu Gaochi is ready to hand it over to Zhu Neng.
Professional things are left to professional people to do, and the same is true for wars.
