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

"Slut!"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Laosan in front of him, murmured, and smiled at Zhang Wu, who was driving the car next to him, and said, "Let's go."

The other teams of servants were already on the road, carrying the captured items, so they stayed at the back and set off.

Zhang Wu smiled shyly, shook the reins, and started the carriage.

Zhu Di leaned back and leaned on the grain bag, "How much did Qianhu give to each of you for what was seized in this battle?"

"Not much." Zhang Wu suddenly smiled happily, "Qianhu gave each of us a hundred cents as pocket money. When we arrived at Jinzhou Post Station, we asked the people at the post station to take the rest back home. Qianhu The householder said, we can’t keep too much money with us. If we have too much money, we will either buy wine or gamble, so why not just send it home to us.”

Zhu Di smiled.

The second brother Qiu Fu is indeed a good general.

"Mr. Zhu?"

Um?

His thoughts were interrupted, Zhu Di turned his head...

Zhang Wu was a little cautious, hesitating, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhu, do you think I have a chance to be a small flag?"

have!

Of course!

Zhu Di smiled. Zhang Wu was with him last night. This boy was very brave on the battlefield.

Although he doesn't have any family-heirloom martial arts skills.

What he has mastered is only the common combat skills trained by soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.

But he observed it and found that Zhang Wu had a solid grasp.

Just like Uncle Eight killing thieves in Shandong.

There are only a few movements, but each movement is clean and neat, and the mastery is very solid.

Zhu Di smiled and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to be Xiaoqi?"

Prior to this, Zhang Wu had not shown a strong desire for promotion.

Zhang Wusan smiled and scratched his head, glancing enviously at Tan Yuan's shoulder in front of him, "I also want to wear a shoulder badge."

"Are there many robes like you that want to wear shoulder straps?" Zhu Di suddenly became interested and sat up straight to ask.

Zhang Wu nodded, "More, the brothers in the camp are all envious when they see the small flag, the general flag, and the general wearing shoulder badges."

…

Zhu Di listened thoughtfully.

In fact, when he was awarded the shoulder badge that day, he discovered that ordinary soldiers at the bottom were very envious.

At that time, I thought that this kind of envy was just a gust of wind.

Afterwards, he also forgot about this matter.

Now it seems that the envy of the soldiers is not a gust of wind.

After talking to Zhang Wu, Zhu Di jumped out of the carriage, untied the horse tied to the back of the carriage, and rode to chase Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng.

"Gui Si, don't worry about the trophies anymore. I'll take away the eldest brother's. The rest will be sent back to our hometown when we get to Jinzhou!" When Zhu Neng saw that Zhu Di actually took the initiative to catch up, he protected him as soon as possible. left over money. ♤

Zhu Di glared angrily and amusedly, "I originally wanted to give you some advice, but if I don't welcome it, forget it."

A dog bites Lu Dongbin, but it doesn’t recognize a good heart!

Qiu Fu grabbed the reins of Zhu Di's horse and said with a smile: "Don't be angry. I will give you three thousand taels at once. Don't tell me that your third brother's flesh hurts, and my flesh hurts too."

He just felt that what Lao Si said was right.

It is human nature to differentiate between closeness and distance, but fairness cannot be lost.

As a general of a thousand households, it was okay for him to benefit his brothers, but he could not lose the most basic fairness.

Otherwise, they will definitely be ostracized by other colleagues in Liaodong in the future.

Having no friends on the battlefield is definitely not a good thing for their guards.

Therefore, even though it hurts, he must learn to exercise restraint.

"Tell me what you have in mind." Zhu Neng also hurriedly spoke.

Isn't the reason why they gave Lao Si the nickname Gui Lao Si because this kid has the most cunning ideas?

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Neng with a smile, "I just chatted with Zhang Wu for a while..."

Zhu Di relayed Zhang Wu's words about shoulder markings to Qiu Fu and the others, "From Zhang Wu's words, it is not difficult to know that the soldiers actually want to have a pair of shoulder markings."

"Didn't the emperor ask you to sum up your experience?"

"The thoughts of ordinary soldiers should also be taken into consideration."

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng frowned slightly.

Zhu Neng frowned and asked, "Fourth brother, you mean to suggest that the imperial court also wear shoulder patches for ordinary soldiers? Isn't this commonplace!"

"No, no!"

"It is better to use the scarcity of things as the most precious thing on the shoulder mark. This will just inspire the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely and make meritorious deeds!"

Qiu Fu nodded.

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile. These two people were talking grandly on the surface, but they didn't say that to their brothers. They were definitely rare military leaders in this era.

But they also have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

"Second brother and third brother, don't say nice things. Ask yourself, do you think that ordinary soldiers wearing shoulder patches cannot highlight your status and glory as leaders?"

The corners of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng's lips twitched fiercely.

Is it so straightforward to say this!

Zhu Di ignored Crouching Dragon Phoenix's discomfort and continued: "It can be seen that ordinary soldiers particularly want to have a pair of shoulder badges."

"If ordinary soldiers can also get a shoulder patch, it can inspire their patriotism and loyalty."

"The shoulder mark of ordinary soldiers does not need to have a bar. It is a simple shoulder mark of a sword without a scabbard and a handle. The shoulder mark is edged with a bright yellow line."

…

Qiu Fu was pondering while listening. After Zhu Di finished speaking, he nodded and said, "This is a good suggestion. I will add this to the report when summarizing my experience."

"As for whether His Majesty can agree to it, my second brother can't make the decision. ♛☟♦"

‘The old man will definitely agree. ’

Zhu Di was very confident in this.

It's just a pair of sword-style shoulder tags without bars and bright yellow lines next to the code that are issued to ordinary soldiers.

But it can inspire patriotism and loyalty among soldiers.

According to his understanding of the old man, the old man must be a hundred happy.

"Fourth brother, you have a lot of clever ideas, please give me another trick." Qiu Fu said with a smile: "How can we avoid being intercepted by the general soldiers with these prisoners we obtained? I promised my brother that I will give them to him."

"Besides, I also want to share some of the profits."

"Second brother, what do you want these old bandits to do?" Zhu Di asked in surprise: "To make up for this loss? I advise you not to do this."

This group of people is a mixed bag of good and bad. It’s too bad.

Anyway, if he were a leading general, he would never add this group of people to his team.

One rat excrement spoils the whole pot of soup.

These old bandits will bring many bad habits into the team.

Qiu Fu smiled and shook his head, "Of course not. I don't want these sneaky old gangsters to lead the brothers astray. This group of people can follow the eldest brother and become big bandits, but they can't be regular soldiers."

"I want to select five or six hundred people, use whips to whip these old bandits, and cultivate the wasteland!"

…

After entering Liaodong, he discovered it.

new

The land here is really fertile.

It's all black soil, and if you rub it in your hands, you can squeeze out oil.

The most important thing is that this place is sparsely populated.

In the pass, the land can make people drool, but here it is overgrown with weeds and used as pasture by the nomads. It is simply a waste of natural resources!

When brothers go out to fight, the court will replenish most of it, but part of the rations is also provided by the brothers' families according to the system of the guard.

When settled, five or six hundred old bandits were divided into groups and placed under strict supervision by their brothers to cultivate wasteland.

After one year, everyone will no longer need family subsidies.

In other places within the customs, land is scarce and there is no such opportunity, but outside the customs, this matter can be done.

Zhu Di looked at Qiu Fu in surprise, "Second brother still knows how to farm?"

snort!

Qiu Fu smiled and snorted, "My family is also of my generation. It only developed after becoming a thousand households. I used to be a poor farmer who worked as a tenant for others. When I was a child, I often followed my father to farm in the fields."

"Tell me quickly, how can we avoid being intercepted by the commander-in-chief? If the commander-in-chief intercepts part of the interception, I will be embarrassed to open my mouth with my elder brother, and intercept him again. The elder brother makes me feel stubborn, but I can't fight against the commander-in-chief... …”

…

Two days later.

Outside the west gate of Jinzhou.

A group of Qianhu, deputy Qianhu and the confidants they brought back gathered outside the city gate, looking into the distance and talking.

"Are you arriving today? It's almost noon, why aren't you here yet?"

"It's true, Qiu Fu sent someone to ask for instructions from the general in advance yesterday."

"Come here to ask for instructions in advance. This Qiu Fu seems to be a good person."

"He has just arrived, how dare he not know how to behave? These soldiers have never fought in the war in the north!"

…

The Duke's Mansion of Song Dynasty.

Generals at the Qianhu level were arranged by Feng Sheng to go to the city gate to greet their new colleagues.

Those at the level of Dusi, Senior General or above did not go.

It was already a great honor to be greeted by a group of thousands of households of the same rank, and it showed that the Liaodong General Military Office valued Qiu Fu's team.

The chief minister and the chief minister were waiting for Qiu Fu to arrive in the living room to pay their respects.

Feng Sheng was in the study.

Feng Sheng read the book and glanced at Chang Mao who was sitting next to him, playing with his thumb. He frowned slightly and reminded: "Although you are the Duke of the country, your actual power is only one thousand households. At this time, you should go outside to greet the new arrival." Colleagues.”

Chang Mao stopped wiping his finger.

He glanced at Feng Sheng and cursed: "What annoys people like you the most. In your eyes, Qiu Fu is already a chess piece to be sacrificed. He is dead, and you still have to pretend to be very important to him. Are you tired?" ’

Of course, he only dared to say these words in his heart.

He put the ring on his thumb and said casually: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold back my emotions after meeting Zhu Silang, so I won't go."

"Then you should go." Feng Sheng put down the book and said earnestly: "To control your emotions, you need to exercise. If someone or something makes your emotions fluctuate greatly, you must face it deliberately. When facing it, learn to Restrain and control your emotions.”

"Don't sit here with me anymore."

"Go outside the city now and wait with the others!"

This is also a time to show your magnanimity.

Everyone knew that he withdrew Chang Mao from Xining Fort.

Give Xining Fort to Qiu Fu.

Now Chang Mao goes to meet Qiu Fu.

This is the time to show your magnanimity.

Chang Mao was urged by Feng Sheng and reluctantly walked out of the study.

He met his wife head-on.

The wife asked in surprise: "You want to go out?"

"Well, go meet Qiu Fu's group of raw melon eggs, and the one I don't want to see the most, Zhu Silang. Your father arranged it."

After showing off to his wife, Chang Mao left quickly.

It was just as Feng Sheng expected.

When Chang Mao appeared inside the city gate and was noticed by Qianhu waiting outside, he was surprised.

"Zheng Guogong actually came out in person!"

"You know, he was withdrawn just to make room for Qiu Fu. Is he here to cause trouble?"

…

After Chang Mao approached, all the discussions disappeared instantly.

After everyone saluted Chang Mao, they gathered Chang Mao at the front and looked at the official road in the distance.

After a while.

"coming!"

Someone suddenly exclaimed.

After everyone finished their discussion, they cheered up and looked ahead...

Carriages appeared on the official road.

Immediately afterwards, a marching team appeared in sight.

Huh!

Someone exclaimed, "Isn't it a Thousand Household Office? Why do you think there are so many people?"

"Yes, it looks like there are about three to four thousand people!"

"No! Some of them are not our Ming army!"

"Look, there's someone wearing the white armor of the Yuan army!"

"These people looked like prisoners, and they were tied up with ropes."

"The two leaders are Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, right? These two people are so courageous! They dare to use Minghuang!"

…

As the team continued to approach, the people at the city gate could see more and more clearly, and exclamations sounded from time to time.

far away.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng could not hear what their colleagues were talking about.

The two looked at many generals of the same level outside the city, slightly stunned.

Zhu Neng said with a smile: "I have heard that General Feng is a rare Confucian general in this dynasty. I don't know what these colleagues think of us, but it seems that General Feng does not despise us. Following Song Guogong, it seems that he will not If you are treated differently, you can at least be treated equally.”

"Qianhu, my colleagues are so kind, why don't we keep a low profile and not be too showy?"

When Qiu Fu nodded, he saw Zhu Neng take out a piece of clean cotton cloth from his sleeve and carefully wipe the shoulder marks on his left and right shoulders.

The corners of his lips twitched fiercely.

"Is this how you keep a low profile?" He finally couldn't help it, he said angrily and funny.

Zhu Neng smiled and handed the cotton cloth to Qiu Fu, "Would you like to wipe it?"

Qiu Fu's lips twitched, he hesitated, then took the cotton cloth, carefully wiped the shoulder label, and ordered: "Go and tell the brothers to wipe the shoulder label. Also, remind the brothers that we are not doing this to show off. , so as not to embarrass His Majesty!"

"Also, let the Fourth follow us, pretend to be our soldiers, and go to the General Military Mansion to have a good meal."

"Yes!" Zhu Neng left with a smile.

Soon, the thousands of households at the city gate saw from a distance that Qiu Fu's team was a little chaotic.

Many people don’t know what to wipe on their shoulders...
