Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 134 Everything before departure

Shi Ziliang was furious, forgave Lu Qing, turned to look at Zhu Tuo, and said flatteringly: "Following the king to the battlefield is the same as being a slave or a maid."

"very good."

Zhu Tuo slapped Shi Ziliang on the shoulder and said: "Quickly, take this young master away, clean it up, and get some meat. When he finishes eating, we can talk again.
Shi Ziliang was taken away, but Zhu Tuo shook his head and asked: "Lu Qing, do you think it will be dangerous to send this boy to Jin?"

Lu Qing laughed dumbly, "Shizi Liang, this kid, is not very smart, but he is very brave. It is said that the people in Jin are very cruel. With him by his side, he might be useful."

"Makes sense."

After the famous scholar Ziliang packed his things, Zhu Tuo nodded.

Zhu Tuo then arranged Yao Guangxiao and Shi Ziliang in the hall to formulate a general plan before heading to Jin.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this trip to Jin did not require much effort.

Therefore, when Zhu Tuo came this time, he just wanted to keep soldiers like Lu Qing, Shi Ziliang, Yao Guangxiao, Yang Rong, Shi Jing and others in the capital, in order to spread science.

Shi Ziliang glanced at Yao Guangxiao, frowned, and said, "You look very weak and don't know martial arts. How can you stay with His Majesty? Do I want to fight with you?"

Lu Qing warned him: "Don't be so rude. Master Yao is a minister under the throne and gives advice to the king."

Yao Guangxiao didn't care, just looked at him and said, "Are you loyal to the king?"

"You deserve to doubt my loyalty to you?" Shi Ziliang opened his eyes and shouted: "Let me tell you, my relationship with Your Majesty is better than that with my wife."

Yao Guangxiao's eyes flashed and he continued: "Are all the soldiers in Lingnan loyal to the king?"

"Nonsense!" Chen Xiaobei smiled lightly.

Lu Qing had no choice but to say: "He is a rough man and speaks without restraint. Don't be offended by Mr. Yao."

"Why not? It's so good. If you say so, this kid will definitely become a great person in the future!"

Yao Guangxiao was overjoyed, as if he had a backbone, and started chatting with Shi Ziliang.

Zhu Tuo asked about the plan, and Yao Guangxiao began to ramble: "This time the king is going to Jin. From now on... the world is so big that it will be unrestrained and unfettered."

"Say it, say it!"

"I heard that the folk customs in Jin are fierce and the people are in dire straits... This time the king came to Jin mainly to calm people's hearts and quietly assemble Jin's army. He could also recruit a group of generals and use money and force to please them."

Zhu Tuo's face suddenly darkened, and he warned: "I have something important to do now, which is to check.

The death of the third brother Zhu Tong has nothing to do with rebellion. "

Yao Guangxiao said: "Yi Er, as soon as Zhu Tong died, the land of Jin was in disarray. If you can control those generals, then the news of his death will come to light.

Zhu Tuo nodded.

"With the death of Zhu Tong I, His Majesty does not need to rush to the capital and arrange a few elite generals in Jin... If this continues, Jin will be completely controlled by him.

"Okay, okay, don't talk so much." Zhu Tuo waved his hand.

Before Zhu Tuo left, he went to the palace to visit Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tuo who was full of awe, put down the folder in his hand, and said slowly: "Jin is different from the Central Plains. The people here are brave and good at fighting, and they all carry weapons at home. Your personal guard, Lu Qing, must Always by your side.”

"Yes." Wang Yao said.

"When I go to Jin, I want to find out the situation in Jin. Who are the generals loyal to the Ming Dynasty and who are the generals of Mongolia? I want to know what they think."

"Yes." Wang Yao said.

"Whoever dares to disobey your orders must be killed neatly. You are a kind person and will always show mercy. Such a woman will hurt herself sooner or later."

"Yes." Wang Yao said.

Zhu Tuo recorded everything, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.Only then did he notice that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was usually lively and energetic, looked tired at the moment.

"Over there in Mongolia, if you want to attack Mongolia, don't make a decision in a hurry. Mongolian ethnic differences

As for the chieftains, they are on horseback all year round, coming and going without a trace, which is even more powerful than the chieftains in Lingnan.

do you understand? "

"I will remember."

After leaving the palace, Zhu Tuo went to the mansion of Duke Xin again and talked with his father-in-law Tang He. Tang He had the same idea as Zhu Yuanzhang. The situation in Jin was complicated and he had to think twice before acting rashly.

Zhu Tuo waved his hand, looking like I had already remembered it.

Afterwards, Zhu Tuo found Tang Xin, talked to Tang Xin about his life and ideals, and emphasized his bravery.

Seeing Tang Xin's eyes shining brightly, Zhu Tuocai left with satisfaction.

Accompanying Zhu Tuo were three hundred brocade guards, specially designed to escort Zhu Tuo.

In addition, he also brought a large amount of food to prepare for the needs of Jin.

Nearly 300 people, all riding horses, most of them wearing flying fish robes, started to head west after leaving the capital.

When people on the street saw this scene, they subconsciously backed away, their eyes filled with admiration.

Zhu Tuo also rode his horse and looked at the scenery in the distance. It was early spring, and many civilians were working in the farmland on both sides of the official road. Zhu Tuo looked into the distance and felt only a vast expanse without any constraints.

"Your Majesty, there are not as many women in the northern country as we do here, and they don't wear such tight clothes."

Shi Ziliang also followed Zhu Tuo's gaze and looked curiously at the woman working in the fields.

Lu Qing scolded: "Shi Ziliang, this is spring, do you want them all to wear short shirts? Do you think everyone is stupid like you, with your skin so hard and cold?"

Scholar Ziliang replied: "Lu Qing, you must be self-aware.

You still want to challenge me? "

"Challenge me?" Lu Qing snorted coldly: "I won't challenge you, I will beat you!"

"Fight!" Chen Xiaobei said calmly.

When Zhu Tuo saw this, he did not stop him, "Ziliang, when you were not in the capital, Lu Qing often made fun of you, saying that you were a fool, a fool.
Lu Qing was speechless.

It should be what you said.

Hearing this, Shi Ziliang was furious and yelled: "Lu Qing, you are so mean, you actually talk about me behind my back! Today, you and I will fight, and we will win or lose!"

"Okay, then let's fight. The one who loses to you is your strength."

Zhu Tuo also noticed Yao Guangxiao sticking his head out of the carriage at this time, and couldn't help but said: "Master Yao, there is a strong wind now, we'd better go back and sit down."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: "This car is really bumpy. I just want to breathe fresh air and enjoy the breath of spring."

"indeed so."

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the land of Jin is different from the capital. You will be hindered everywhere in the capital, but in the land of Jin, you are the leader of the ministers. At that time, you can use your status to To do many things."

"for example?"

"Be prepared and store up food until you can completely control the Jin Dynasty."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Tuo didn't know what was in Yao Guangxiao's mind. He sighed and said, "I came to Jindi this time to find out the cause of death of my third brother Zhu Tong. This matter is the most important thing." Yes, let’s put the rest first.”

"Yeah." Yao Guangxiao nodded.
