Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

"Second son, the water we just fetched is too cold. Remember to mix in some hot water. Animals are just like people, their intestines and stomachs are precious!"

"Fourth..."

…

Early in the morning, Uncle Eight was in the yard keeping everyone busy. ♤♦

Everyone was busy and laughing and chatting.

The white heat, under the bright sunshine in the morning, looks like a rainbow. From different angles, you can see the colorful and different colors.

Zhu Di was awakened by the movement outside

The road to Jingnan, the famous official Jingnan, the sworn friendship, the gear of fate...

Along the way, he didn't see much on the surface, but he was actually very heavy inside.

Even more so last night.

After drinking, it should have been easy to fall asleep.

But he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Open your eyes slowly.

He squinted slightly again, and the bright sunshine after the snow shone in through the window lattice. Outside, the laughter and chatter of Uncle Eighth and others floated into his ears.

Nothing seems to have changed, it’s another beautiful day.

He stretched out his hands, kicked his legs, stood up, turned his head, and looked outside through the window lattice. It was a sunny day after the snow, and the blue was without a trace of impurities. "It's unfounded to worry about the sky. What to do with so many troubles. Every day is beautiful, and troubles are just a nuisance." , Can’t let go of yesterday, fear of tomorrow arises.”

He didn't believe that if he lived every day well and accumulated over time, his life would be worse.

He was unable to intervene and prevent fate from suddenly adding something to or subtracting from life.

But if he lives every day seriously, his destiny will be firmly in his hands!

The thoughts hidden along the way are revealed inadvertently.

The whole person felt relaxed instantly, feeling extremely calm.

After tidying up quickly.

Squeak!

Push the door open and go out.

Hearing the commotion, the villagers who were feeding animals, cooking, and washing in the courtyard looked up one after another.

"Shiro, are you awake?"

"Fourth brother, this is the first time I see you sleeping in!"

…

Everyone joked.

Zhu Di smiled and went to help.

Zhang Yu stood in the house, watching Zhu Di and the villagers laughing and chatting, frowning slightly, and muttered: "This fourth ghost, there is something different between today and last night."

"Sir, I also feel that Zhu Silang is more like an ordinary farmer now." The attendant whispered beside him.

‘More like a farmer? ’

Zhang Yu suddenly woke up and shook his head with a smile, "It's not that he is more like a farmer, but that he is more relaxed."

Being able to retract and release freely is a very high state of life.

When the poor suddenly become rich, there are often no good consequences.

When the rich suddenly become poor, they will only become more and more unhappy.

To put it bluntly, it just can’t be retracted and released freely.

'Look, among the four brothers, this ghost old fourth will definitely live the most comfortable life in the future. ’

He was coerced and retreated to the grassland.

Why didn't you run back secretly?

There are too many family members and it is not easy to escape.

The most important thing is not to let go of everything you have worked hard for.

Returning to the Central Plains, this is a brand new court. In this court, he has no resources and no achievements.

Everything has to be started over again.

Although the Privy Council now has only its name, it is still a piece of political capital.

There are too many Han officials like him on the grasslands.

…

Breakfast time.

When everyone started to arrive one after another and had almost eaten, Zhu Di put down his bowls and chopsticks, took out the envelope and handed it to his eighth uncle.

Uncle Eight was surprised, "Silang, isn't this a letter to Daya?"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded, "Originally I planned to ask Qiu Qianhu to send it back to the inn, but now the plan has changed and it is no longer needed."

"I discussed with Qiu Qianhu last night and decided that you don't need to leave the quarantine."

Hearing this, everyone looked at him one after another.

Zhu Di continued to laugh and said: "After a while, Mr. Tan will bring someone over to pretend to be a servant and replace everyone."

"Uncle Eighth, Zhou Lang, you take the nine horses and the two carriages presented to us by Liujia Village and go back first."

"Silang, are you coming out of seclusion?" Uncle Eighth asked. After receiving Zhu Di's confirmation, he immediately said: "Let Zhou Lang take everyone back, and Uncle Eighth will come out of seclusion with you!"

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Eighth, you must go back. Zhou Lang is not as knowledgeable as you. I feel more at ease if you take the folks with you on the way."

"In addition, after you take the villagers back, you will also lead them to burn bricks and build a granary according to the style of the granary we designed."

"Mr. Zhu." As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhou Lang found an opportunity and hurriedly interjected, "I want to go out and have a look. You know, I want to join the army. Seeing more will help me make a decision."

With that said, he turned to Uncle Eighth and said, "Uncle Eighth, please don't argue with me."

Uncle Eight hesitated and nodded.

He could trust Zhou Lang.

With Zhou Lang here, if Shiro encounters a headache or fever, Zhou Lang will definitely take care of him with all his heart.

Zhu Di thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Okay, Uncle Eight will take everyone back, and Zhou Lang will come out of seclusion with me."

…

After the agreement was reached, everyone began to tidy up again.

When it's almost done.

Tan Yuan, dressed as a commoner, led a group of people to approach the house, "Zhu Silang, we are really destined to be together. Now you can be considered half of my soldiers. Otherwise, just follow me!"

Zhu Di looked at this man who had saved his life with his own life.

He smiled and said: "If one day I want to join the army, I will definitely serve as a soldier for you."

"That's settled!"

"It's agreed." Zhu Di nodded with a smile and took Tan Yuan to the prepared carriage to hand over to Uncle Eighth and the others.

Then, send Uncle Eighth and others out of the city.

Before leaving, he told several young people in the village, "On the way back, you must follow Uncle Eight's arrangements. Don't enter the big cities on the way unless necessary."

"I want to buy something for my family. I'll buy it when I get back to Jinling."

…

"Fourth brother, we remember."

Uncle Eighth smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shiro. The one of them danced happily, so I won't teach him a lesson mercilessly. But Shiro, on the other hand, must pay attention to safety after leaving seclusion."

Zhu Di nodded.

After talking for a while, everyone was arranged to go on their way.

Because Zhou Lang wanted to stay, he brought back eight horses and two carts.

Those who ride horses ride horses, those who ride in carriages ride in carriages.

There's no need for everyone to walk. It shouldn't take too long to get back, maybe ten and a half days.

Zhu Di didn't turn around until he couldn't see everyone, "Zhou Lang, you go back and prepare first. If Zhang Pu doesn't leave with us, I'll see Zhang Pu off."

"OK."

After Zhou Lang left, Zhu Di walked through the not too long straight road in Guancheng and came to another city gate.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng have arrived.

When Zhu Di approached, Zhang Yu sat on the horse and threw the wine bag to Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di took a sip and handed the wine bag over, Zhang Yu took the wine bag and said, "Go ahead first. Once I'm almost ready, I'll ask Zhang Qu to come back and deliver the message."

The three of them clasped their fists and said, "Bon voyage, brother."

Ha ha……

Zhang Yu laughed heartily, whipped up his horse, and galloped away.

The war horses galloped, their hooves splashed with snow...

New 🅇.🄲🄾🄼

After seeing Zhang Yu disappear, Qiu Fu turned around and asked with a smile, "Gui Laosi, shall we set off too?"

‘Scream, just wait until you know the truth and don’t regret your sworn relationship with me. ’

Zhu Di's lips twitched and he nodded.

After a stick of incense.

The ‘Tuqiao Village’ team was the vanguard and was the first to leave the border.

at the same time.

Jinzhou.

The headquarters of Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Feng Sheng was located in Jinzhou.

The Duke's Mansion of Song Dynasty.

Near noon, a group of generals came one after another, dusty with school spirit.

Before Feng Sheng arrived, a group of generals were discussing animatedly in the living room.

"The general suddenly summoned us back. What's the matter?"

"I don't know, I just know that a few days ago, the imperial court sent someone to convey the order."

"I heard that another guard has been transferred to our side. Is this the case?"

"Impossible, impossible. The Yiwei people who have just arrived in Liaodong will not be able to call us all back, just find a safe place, settle down, divide some of the population, and let them cultivate the wasteland!"

…

While everyone was discussing, a young Qianhu walked in.

The discussion came to a sudden halt.

All the generals stood up one after another.

Even the generals and captains sitting near the front stood up one after another.

"Zheng Guogong is back."

"Meet Duke Zheng."

…

Everyone saluted.

Young Qianhu nodded and sat down directly on the first chair on the left.

After sitting down, he picked up the tea cup and drank tea quietly.

For a moment, the living room became silent, and everyone looked at Chang Mao.

Everyone knows why the eldest concubine of King Chang Yuchun of Kaiping and the son-in-law of Song Guogong is like frost.

This man came to Liaodong to work for his father-in-law, just to gild and accumulate military exploits.

Duke Guogong of Song Dynasty spared no effort in cultivating it.

Nowadays, the imperial court and Naha Chu are facing each other with the Daliao River as the boundary.

As soon as Chang Mao arrived in Liaodong last year, Song Guogong transferred the most capable guard under his command to Chang Mao.

And arranged Chang Mao in Xining Fort.

To the west of the Daliao River, among the imperial garrison strongholds, Xining Fort has the best geographical advantage.

Easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The purpose of Song Guogong's arrangement is clear to everyone.

It is to arrange opportunities for the son-in-law to make meritorious deeds.

Chang Mao led his troops and prepared for a year at Xining Fort.

Two months ago, the Daliao River froze. With the support of Song Guogong, Chang Mao launched a river-crossing campaign.

The goal of this operation was to capture Dongchang Fort on the other side of the Daliao River.

As long as we can encroach and capture Dongchang Fort, it will be equivalent to establishing a bridgehead on the other side of the Daliao River.

This is a great achievement!

They have been blocked by Naha on the west bank of Daliao for a whole year.

Mao

But Chang Mao actually messed up the well-prepared attack!

After returning with a great defeat, they were almost killed by Naha's direct lineage, and they lost Xining Fort.

Because of Song Guogong's cover-up, this failure was not reported to the court.

The court was unaware of the incident and avoided being held accountable, but the prince lost all face and suffered a huge blow.

I heard that after the war, Song Guogong went to Xining Fort and slapped the young man in the face. He angrily cursed Adou, who could not help him, as a father of a tiger and a son of a dog. He was an embarrassment to King Kaiping and an embarrassment to the Crown Princess.

"The general is here!"

The sudden singing and drinking from outside interrupted everyone's thoughts, and the generals sat up straight.

A middle-aged man who looked very elegant walked in with steady steps.

Song Guogong and Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Feng Sheng!

Feng Sheng is a scholar.

The Feng family is also a farming and reading family.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Feng Sheng and his brother Feng Guoyong formed a stronghold in their hometown to protect themselves. Later, the two brothers joined Zhu Yuanzhang together.

Feng Sheng was a rare Confucian general in the Ming Dynasty army who was brave and resourceful.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang let Feng Sheng lead the army alone and serve as the commander-in-chief in Liaodong.

When Feng Sheng passed by Chang Mao, he glanced at him, sat down, took a sip of tea from the cup, and then spoke calmly: "A few days ago, the Governor's Office sent His Majesty's decree."

"Regarding the newly arrived Yiwei troops, their Qianhu Qiufu and deputy Qianhu Zhuneng, some of you may know them."

A group of generals looked surprised.

Your Majesty actually sent a decree specifically for the sake of a bodyguard?

"Commander, what does His Majesty's decree say?" someone asked immediately.

Feng Sheng glanced at Chang Mao, and then said: "Your Majesty personally ordered me to place Qiu Fu and his troops on the border."

"Deployed on the border when we first arrived?"

"Commander, if something happens and the brothers are involved, who will bear the responsibility?"

…

Some thousands of households on the border were immediately dissatisfied and spoke one after another.

Chang Mao, the second generation ancestor, was defeated and almost implicated everyone. Would it happen again?

Chang Mao lowered his head and clenched his fists silently. Although the colleague who spoke did not directly address him, his words still reflected the defeat two months ago.

Snapped!

As soon as Feng Sheng slapped the table, the living room fell silent for an instant.

He glanced coldly and said angrily: "This is His Majesty's holy order and must be carried out. I have decided to place Qiu Fu and others in Xining Fort."

Chang Mao raised his head.

His eyes stared at Feng Sheng with anger and humiliation.

He also wants to wash away his shame!

Now that he has been withdrawn, how can we clean him up?

Feng Sheng turned a deaf ear and continued to say coldly: "Qianhu Changmao led his troops back to Jinzhou to rest."

He had no choice but to pass the news brought by the messenger.

Your Majesty attaches great importance to Qiu Fu as a guard.

It is said that this guard is also responsible for some kind of shoulder mark experiment.

He couldn't figure out what the shoulder mark was.

We have to wait until Qiu Fu's guards arrive before we can learn more about it.

Among the entire border guard posts, Xining Fort is the safest, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Putting this newly arrived weak soldier in Xining Fort will satisfy the court's requirements without annihilating the entire army and affecting His Majesty's experiment.

Therefore, Chang Mao can only be sacrificed.

"They should arrive within the next few days. Since you are here, don't be in a hurry to go back and meet your colleagues."

After the explanation, Feng Sheng stood up and left.

Chang Mao chased out with a dark face.

As soon as the two left, the living room suddenly became lively.

"What's the background of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng!"

"Haven't you heard? His Majesty values ​​it!"

"Being valued does not mean you are capable. This was proven two months ago!"

"We want to see, they are both from Qianhu, so why should Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng be valued by His Majesty!"

"The commander-in-chief clearly doesn't like Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, so he arranged them to Xining Fort, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"These two guys have offended Chang Qianhu before they even come here. We are in for a good show!"
