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

Qiu Fu was silent for a moment and nodded.

"What the Fourth Brother said in his letter is right. When your immediate boss makes up his mind to mess with you, pretending to be cowardly and admitting defeat will not get him to let you go."

"Only if we show enough strength can we make him afraid! Don't dare to attack easily!"

During this period, some of Feng Sheng's actions had proven that the commander-in-chief's kindness towards them was only superficial.

The most typical one is the transfer of people from Xining Fort.

Some common people who were good at fighting were transferred to other border guard posts by Feng Sheng under the pretext of strengthening other guard posts.

However, they cannot object yet.

If you object, you will offend your colleagues!

"It's the Chinese New Year. Maybe I have brothers who won't be able to see the sun tomorrow. This day is really..." Zhu Neng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Compassion does not command troops!" Qiu Fu said with a cold face, "The Fourth Brother's letter has made it very clear that after the Mongols took over the Central Plains, although they accepted and resisted the assimilation of our Central Plains culture, these New Year customs Already accepted."

"We also asked our elder brother and local people to verify this."

"The remnant forces of Dongchang Fort will definitely be very lively tonight. Just like what the fourth child said in his letter, the guard is at its lowest at this time."

…

As long as we take Dongchang Fort tonight.

Show their strength.

With such merit, Feng Sheng dared not suppress him even if he wanted to.

You must report your merits to the court to your brothers.

In this way, Feng Sheng would not dare to touch his brothers easily!

"In short, it is better to show strength now and make Feng Sheng fearful than to be plotted by Feng Sheng in the future. Some brothers may die tonight, but if Feng Sheng plots against us, all of us will die without a burial place!"

Zhu Neng gritted his teeth and stopped looking forward and backward, "Let's do it!"

"Tomorrow morning is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Let's send General Feng a happy New Year's greeting! It depends on whether General Feng likes this New Year's gift!"

Hearing this, Qiu Fu smiled and turned his attention to the brothers who were purchasing in the fort again...

Zhou Lang and Zhang Wu followed Tan Yuan and were responsible for purchasing for their team.

Zhou Lang asked in a low voice: "Old Tan, tell the truth, are we going to fight tonight?"

Tan Yuan turned around and asked with a smile: "Why are you so judgmental?"

"Qiu Qianhu spends such a large amount of money on his brothers' purchases. The New Year's dinner is not eaten at night, but at noon. Isn't it strange that everything is abnormal?" Zhou Lang curled his lips.

He is also a student of Sun Tzu's Art of War!

What's more, on the night of the extermination of thieves in Shandong, Mr. Zhu taught him a sentence: any abnormal behavior must be fully analyzed and various reasonable assumptions behind this behavior.

As long as it is reasonable, it deserves attention!

Tan Yuan looked at him in surprise, nodded and said: "Tonight, the troops are sent to Dongchang Fort. Qiu Qianhu announced that tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will send a good news to General Feng of Jinzhou to wish him a happy new year!"

"As for this strategy, you brought it."

"Mr. Zhu's letter!" Zhou Lang understood immediately and smiled: "As long as it is Mr. Zhu's plan, it will definitely succeed!"

"We will triumph tomorrow and I will write a letter to my family and Mr. Zhu to report the victory!"

…

Jinzhou.

"You ungrateful animal!"

Chang Mao walked into Feng Sheng's study with a dark face, holding a cage containing an eagle, cursing.

Feng Sheng frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng sent people to decline Master Taishan's kindness to invite them to Jinzhou to celebrate the New Year on the grounds that the border troops were fierce and dangerous."

Snapped!

Chang Mao said, placing the big cage in his hand on Feng Sheng's desk, "This is the eagle captured by Qiu Fu and the others as a New Year gift for you."

Feng Sheng stared at the caged eagle in front of him.

Reach out.

Phew!

The wild eagle crows and pecks at Feng Sheng's fingers with its sharp beak.

Feng Sheng suddenly flexed his fingers to avoid it, "It's a very wild one. Take it off and send it to the hands of the Ying Boiler in the mansion. Let it learn to be obedient."

Chang Mao left with the cage.

Feng Sheng stared at Chang Mao's back in a daze...

Originally, he wanted to transfer Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng back to Jinzhou, and then reveal some news to the residual Yuan forces on the other side of the Daliao River.

In the meantime, a few things will happen.

During the absence of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, Xining Fort was attacked by the residual Yuan forces on the other side of the Daliao River on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This disastrous defeat can prove that without the leader, the shoulder mark has no effect.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, on the other hand, drunkenly assaulted the female relatives in his house on New Year's Eve, and were sent back to the court by him, much to the disgrace of the emperor.

These two people were favored by the emperor, and they were a nail in Liaodong. He did not move and left them to the emperor's disposal.

In this way, his purpose was achieved.

It was also done very cryptically.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng would dare to refuse his invitation!

The two men, Jinxi and Panshan, had achieved great success in suppressing bandits twice, and he had been suppressing them for a month.

Deposit for another month at most.

After the Spring Festival, it must be reported to the court.

At this point, I am afraid that Jin Yiwei has already sent the battle reports of the two bandits to the emperor's desk in advance.

His report on his merits can be delayed a little later, but it must not be too late.

Before and after the Spring Festival, the efficiency of handling various affairs will decrease. This is a common problem for everyone in the government. It is also his best and last excuse!

Therefore, this must be done during the Spring Festival!

At some point.

Feng Sheng looked away and said to himself: "Your Majesty, our brothers helped you to conquer this country. We just want to gain some power and make some money. Not long after the founding of the country, you had a drink to release your military power. Now is the Chinese New Year, and all the ministers are here." Annoying..."

…

royal palace.

Mao Xiang's face was full of joy and he hurriedly entered the palace.

This time he did not go to the imperial study room.

On the New Year's Day, the emperor and the empress will summon all the princes and princesses in the palace, talk to them, and reward them with something.

new

This is already a routine.

In the evening, the entire royal family will have a reunion dinner together.

As for the banquet to reward these ministers, it was already done last night.

If Ruomao Xiang judged.

When Mao Xiang arrived at Ma Xiuying Palace Courtyard.

In the palace courtyard, the princes and princesses were comparing who got the better reward.

Mao Xiang hurriedly came outside the palace gate while saluting.

"Your Majesty, I have an urgent report from you, Mao Xiang."

Mao Xiang's voice interrupted the chatting atmosphere in the room.

The concubines in the harem, Prince Zhu Biao's family, Qin King Zhu Cang and his wife, Jin King Zhu Yu and his wife all looked at the door after hearing the sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying sat on the couch and waved to Mao Xiang, "Come in."

Mao Xiang entered, hurriedly came to Zhu Yuanzhang, handed the secret memorial to him, and said with a smile: "The guards in Jinyi have sent back good news. I have brought good news to the emperor."

While everyone heaved a sigh of relief, they all looked at Mi Zuo curiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew it was not a bad thing, and his expression became relaxed. He took the memorial and started reading it.

Everyone observed and noticed.

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his lips gradually opened and continued to widen...

"Okay, okay!"

At a certain moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled and praised: "Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng did not disappoint us!"

He never expected that these two young generals would give him such a big surprise so quickly!

This surprise was completely beyond his expectation!

The main reason why Hou En was given the shoulder tag was because of their loyalty. Unexpectedly, their abilities are not bad either!

"You three should also take a look." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and handed the secret memorial to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Cang and Zhu 㭎 came over one after another.

Soon, the three brothers Zhu Biao finished reading. Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile: "Biao'er, tell me why we are so happy that Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng destroyed the bandits in Jinxi and Panshan?"

The concubines all looked at Zhu Biao with envy.

Everyone knows that this is Zhu Yuanzhang's teaching and examination.

Among all the princes, only the crown prince can receive such enviable love and care.

Their son will never be qualified.

As the legitimate son, Zhu Silang was demoted to a commoner just because he shouted something about "fighting for the throne and seizing the legitimate son" without knowing whether it was true or not.

He could only work as a farmer in a small place like Tuqiao Village.

Now that we are reunited during the New Year, we are not qualified to come back.

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "The two victories of Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng in suppressing bandits seemed to only deal with horse bandits and scattered broken Yuan troops, but they opened up the situation for the Liaodong military operation."

"I have read the report from Liaodong. Every time troops are deployed on the front line, these horse bandits will always come out to harass the rear..."

As he spoke, the corners of Zhu Biao's lips moved, then he shook his head and said, "This is all I can think of."

In fact, he still felt it.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng seem to have only one thousand-household military force.

But it was the nail that the father drove into Liaodong.

But there are a lot of people talking here, so it’s not appropriate to speak out.

After all, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng's role as nails is internal but not external.

People talk too much and spread the word, which has a bad influence.

He agreed very much with his father's move.

Feng Sheng has indeed slacked off a bit in recent years.

A military hero who founded the country and became a duke, commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and occupied Liaodong for several years.

Unable to wipe out all the horse bandits in the territory?

Feng Sheng's achievements in Liaodong in the past few years have insulted his achievements in the previous ten years!

Zhu Yuanzhang knew from the subtle movements of the corners of Zhu Biao's lips that Zhu Biao understood all his intentions and nodded with satisfaction.

"Father, just rely on Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng to break into a new situation in the future military operations in Liaodong. I think that I can at least be promoted to a guard commander based on merit." Zhu Biao remonstrated.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shook his head, "Wait a moment."

He wanted to see when Feng Sheng would send the report of the two men's merits to the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the fold and looked at Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying understood and waved to Crown Princess Chang, Princess Qin Guanyinnu and Princess Xie with a smile.

These three daughters-in-law are either pregnant with the third generation of the Zhu family, or have given birth to the third generation of the Zhu family.

"Mother."

"On a day when the family is reunited, don't talk about these false etiquette." Ma Xiuying smiled and opened the three exquisite boxes placed on the table.

Inside the box, there is a bracelet on each red velvet cloth. "This is the leftover material left from making jade seals after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Your father ordered the craftsmen to make three jade bracelets. There are only three jade bracelets. We decided to make them at the beginning." Now, whoever of you will be the first to conceive the third generation for our Zhu family, these three bracelets will be given to him..."

…

Listening to Ma Xiuying's story, the other concubines could not control themselves and showed envy and jealousy.

This is made of jade seal scraps!

Ma Xiuying said, feeling a little uncomfortable.

A few days ago, when she went to Tuqiao Village, she carried one of Chongba on her back.

When I was talking to the young couple two nights ago, I took it out and wanted to give it to Miaoyun.

One of them should belong to Miaoyun girl.

But Miaoyun girl declined.

…

at the same time.

Tuqiao Village.

"Brother Dongxu, master and mistress asked us to go home. Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know. We'll find out when we get there."

…

Yang Dongxu led a group of children, chatting and jumping towards Zhu Di's house...

Hall.

Zhu Di supported Xu Miaoyun and stood at the door, seeing a group of children coming from a distance.

The two couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Di said: "Let's go back and sit down to wait for these naughty children. You are heavy now and it will be a heavy burden to stand for a long time."

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile.
