My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 753 Wang Tong’s Arrangement

"Let him in!"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard Wang Tong's request for an audience, he immediately ordered.

"Why did Wang Tong arrive just now?"

Zhu Zhanhe also asked in surprise at this time. It had been so long since Jinyiwei recruited Wang Tong. Normally, the other party should have come to Dahan long ago.

"Wang Tong is a guy with bad luck. He encountered a big storm in Nanyang. The other ships in the fleet were all fine. However, the ship he was on almost sank and he was injured, so he rested for a while in the port of Malacca. , and the injuries are almost healed before setting sail again.”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and replied that he knew Wang Tong, and Wang Tong even worked for him before, so he fully agreed with recruiting Wang Tong, because he also felt that Wang Tong was a talent, but he was just a bit unlucky.

"General Wang has been a bit unlucky in the past two years, but the tree will die and the people will live. I believe that after he comes to our big man, things will definitely turn around!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed when he heard this and said that it was not uncommon to encounter storms at sea, but Wang Tong was too unlucky. Only his ship in the entire fleet had an accident, and no one else had this luck.

As he was speaking, a middle-aged man with a haggard face entered the hall. When he saw Zhu Gaoxu, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "My subordinate Wang Tong, long live my emperor!"

"No need to be polite, just sit down!"

Zhu Gaoxu was also very happy to see Wang Tong, and someone immediately came forward to move a chair for Wang Tong.

"I dare not!"

Wang Tong seemed a little restrained and immediately declined.

Now Wang Tong betrayed the Ming Dynasty and fled to the Han Dynasty with his family. The fate of the whole family was in the hands of Zhu Gaoxu, so he seemed to be very tormented during this period and felt very confused about his future.

"Let you sit down. What do you think your mother-in-law looks like?"

Zhu Gaoxu was a little unhappy when he saw Wang Tong's timid appearance, and immediately slapped the table and said.

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Wang Tong was shocked. His originally curved spine suddenly straightened. He felt as if he had returned to the time when he followed Zhu Gaoxu's expeditions more than [-] years ago.

"Yes, thank you, General...Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat!"

Wang Tong, who was caught up in his memories, answered instinctively. Halfway through, he realized that the title was wrong and he hurriedly changed his words.

"That's ridiculous. Isn't it just a defeat? As a general, who hasn't lost a few battles? As long as you know your shame and be brave, you can find a way to fight back in the future!"

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned pale, and then he chatted with Wang Tong about old things.

Wang Tong also slowly relaxed at this time. While chatting with Zhu Gaoxu, he expressed his gratitude to him and Zhu Zhanhe. After all, if it weren't for their father and son's rescue, their family would still be stuck in the Ming Dynasty and would not be able to get out.

"You have come a long way, rest for half a month first, and get familiar with the situation here in Xijing. After half a month, I will arrange for you to go to Kabul to serve as a general. That area has just been included in my Ming Dynasty's territory, and it is not stable. We need a capable general to guard us!”

Zhu Gaoxu gave final instructions to Wang Tong.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely do my best to serve Your Majesty till the end of my life!"

When Wang Tong heard the arrangements for him, he immediately stood up happily again and saluted Zhu Gaoxu solemnly. Although he didn't know where Kabul was, since it was a newly conquered land, there would definitely be wars. This was also the place where generals could most easily make meritorious deeds. Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu's appointment also represented his trust in himself, which made Wang Tong, the defeated army, The general was also very moved.

After chatting for a few more words, Zhu Gaoxu let Wang Tong go down to rest and sent someone to help Wang Tong settle his family.

After Wang Tong left, Zhu Zhanhe said to Zhu Gaoxu a little uneasily: "Father, General Wang has just come to the Han Dynasty. Isn't it a little too fast to give him such an important place in Kabul to guard? Do you want to go first?" Let him go to the northwest to lead the troops and get familiar with the situation before we talk?"

When Zhu Yong first came to the Han Dynasty, Zhu Zhanhe did not dare to let the other party directly go to the front line. Instead, he led troops to the northwest to quell the rebellion. The main reason was that he was afraid that Zhu Yong was not familiar with the situation and if something went wrong, it would be difficult to handle.

"Don't worry. Peshawar is so close to Kabul. With Chang Wei guarding there, Wang Tong won't cause any trouble when he goes to Kabul. Instead, he can help Chang Wei share some affairs!"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said.

There were many generals available to the Han Dynasty, but not many commanders who could act alone. Therefore, Chang Wei immediately returned to Peshawar to guard the country not long after his marriage because there was no one who could replace him.

As for Wang Tong's ability, Zhu Gaoxu knows better than Zhu Zhanhe. Zhu Gaoxu still trusts this former subordinate. As long as Wang Tong is given a period of time, he will definitely be able to handle Kabul's affairs.

"Well, I believe in my father's vision. General Wang's visit to Kabul can also give Chang Wei a breather."

Zhu Zhanhe finally nodded.

He had frequent contact with Chang Wei, and he also knew that the other party had a heavy burden. You must know that the Han Dynasty was in the midst of employing people. Zhang Xing was guarding the capital and could not leave without permission. Zhu Yong and Zhang Zhong went to Egypt. As a result, the northern border was Only Chang Wei is left. If Wang Tong can take on the important task, it will be a good thing for Chang Wei.

It was getting late at this time. Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Gaoxu chatted for a few more words. When they were about to leave Wuying Hall, they suddenly saw a girl in a red dress running in quickly. When she saw Zhu Gaoxu, she immediately shouted: "Father, I don't want to go to school anymore!"

Hearing the cry of the girl in the red dress, Zhu Zhanhe rolled his eyes. This girl was naturally his good sister Princess Ning'an. At first she was clamoring to go to a girls' school, but not long after she went to school, she was clamoring again. I no longer go to school, and I have no potential at all.

"Isn't it good for you to have sex? Why don't you want to have sex?"

Zhu Gaoxu was not angry, but rather dotingly pulled Ning An to sit next to him, and then asked kindly.

"The teachers at school bullied me and even hit my palms. Father, look, my palms are swollen!"

Ning An said and stretched out her left hand, and saw that her palm was indeed red, but it was far from swollen. It could be seen that the teacher at the girls' school did not dare to hit her hard. After all, Ning An was a princess, so she could just show off. .

"Did you not finish your homework, or were you bullying others at school? Otherwise, why would the school teacher hit you on the palm of your hand?"

Zhu Zhanhe stepped forward and looked at Ning An suspiciously and asked.

"Who bullied someone? I was just joking with someone, but Principal Helen caught me and hit me ten times. It was so painful. Father, you must make the decision for me!"

Ning An said at the end, holding Zhu Gaoxu's arm and saying coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, Helen is your eldest brother. Even if you want to ask for help, you have to go to your eldest brother!"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed, then pointed to Zhu Zhanhe next to him and said, in fact, he also knew that his daughter must have made a mistake first, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and simply blamed it on Zhu Zhanhe.
