King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

The Chinese military tent.

Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty, Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, Zhu Xi, the King of Qin, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, Zhu Ji, the King of Zhou, Zhu Zhu, the King of Qi, Zhu Tan, the King of Lu, Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, and others gathered together.

At this time, looking at the sand table in the big tent, Feng Sheng said: "The 30,000 Mongolian and Yuan troops here must be captured in three days at most! Lan Yu's 5,000 soldiers and horses, together with the 5,000 troops of King Lu's guards, have served as the vanguard. One day has come!
Later, King Qin can bring 30,000 troops to reinforce!

After taking Tongzhou City, the army immediately attacked Liaodong without stopping!

Don't give Naha any chance to react! "

Guo Ying and Zhu Tan looked at each other and shook their heads.

Feng Sheng frowned and said, "His Royal Highness King Lu, Marquis Wu Ding? What do you think?"

Guo Ying smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Lu, will you explain to Song Guogong?"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "My uncle has orders, and my nephew will naturally obey his orders!"

Guo Ying laughed and scolded: "Don't rush me! Call me an official when fighting!"

Zhu Tan said coldly: "You and I are both the father and the emperor's sons, how can we talk about superiority and inferiority?

Zhu Tan sneered and said: "Father, you also said that although King Zhu Ping of Qin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, it was actually just a false title. All affairs in the army were handled by the General of the Conqueror and the Duke of Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Feng Sheng. . When approaching the army, the dignity of the vassal king is insignificant, and everyone must obey orders!

Are you thinking too much?

Guo Ying:.
Feng Sheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, King Lu, the military situation is urgent, so don't joke around."

You, King Lu, don’t have any status. Why don’t you just reprimand me as much as you want?

"Zhu Tan! I'm in the army now! My father appointed me as the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition. How dare you contradict me like this? Believe it or not, I will use military law to rule you!"

He had long disliked Zhu Tan.

At this time, Zhu Tan was rude to Zhu Xi, and even opened his mouth to talk about the execution of Zhu Xi's concubine Deng.

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Song Guogong, you have no confidence in Yongchang Hou. I can understand it. After all, his level is average and his ability is limited. As my defeated general, it is normal for him to not be able to fight well.

Zhu Tan looked at Zhu Xi, frowned and asked, "Who are you? No matter who is here, is it your turn to teach me a lesson? King Qin, are you unhappy because your wife just died, so you want to take it out on me?"

Do you even need reinforcements from His Highness the King of Qin?
No need! In half a day at most, Tongzhou City will be captured! "

Everyone present was a little stunned.

In addition, the 30,000 Mongolian and Yuan troops have also been elites for many years, so it will not be easy to win! "

Zhu Xi felt secretly happy!

Is this bastard trying to establish his authority by stepping on him?

How dare you, a vassal king who has just been severely punished by Lao Zhu, do this to me?

But he is the real second son of the emperor after all.

As long as he scolds Zhu Tan, Lao Zhu will blow his beard and glare.

He is also the nominal commander-in-chief of this Northern Expedition and the Da Zongzheng in charge of the royal family!
Moreover, the title of King of Qin was not given to vassal kings with ordinary status in the past dynasties. The recipients have always been in a respected position. It stands to reason that other vassal kings should respect Zhu Ping.

However, Zhu Tan's face darkened when he heard Zhu Xi's words.

King Qin, what kind of commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition do you think you are? You and I are both small soldiers who obey orders in the army, so what qualifications do you have to deal with me under military law? "

Done.

The words fell.

The enemy has 30,000 Mongolian cavalry!

When Zhu Xi heard this, he was so angry that his whole body trembled.

As for what Zhu Tan said about taking Tongzhou City quickly, it is really unimaginable!
King Qin Zhu Xi couldn't help but frowned and said: "Old Ten! It's not martial arts in Peking now. Everyone present is your senior! Be more respectful! In the past, your father protected you, so it's okay for you to be more presumptuous. Now that you've come out, how can you do this? Meng Lang! What will you do if Lu Wangwei fails to attack Tongzhou City or is simply defeated?"

When Feng Sheng heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness King Lu, I also know that King Lu's guards have sharp firearms! After all, King Lu's guards are new to the battlefield, and the commander behind the 30,000-strong army, Saiin Timur, also He is not an ordinary person! He once fought with Wang Baobao and Wei Guogong! He is one of the more capable figures in the Mongolian and Yuan armies!

But when he was in Yingtian and Beiping, he was surrounded by Lao Zhu.

King Qin was speechless by Zhu Tan's rebuke, and he just said angrily: "I am the brother and you are the younger brother, how can you be so rebellious and disregard your dignity!"

After all, there are so many people here, including two dukes, six or seven marquises, and five vassal kings!
If Lu Wangwei fails to defeat them all day long, or suffers heavy losses, won't you be embarrassed or embarrassed?

Zhu Tan nodded and said: "Guo Guanzhi!"

If Zhu Laosi said a few words, or even Zhu Fan's words would still have some weight.

In fact.

Feng Sheng's subtext is, Your Highness, Prince Lu, please stop bragging, lest your bragging is exposed and you feel embarrassed!

Although Qin King Zhu Xi's reputation has not been very good recently, he was just punished by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even his concubine Deng was executed.

Detours, sneak attacks, ambushes... anything can happen.

Now that he has left Peiping, he is the nominal commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Among the vassal kings, he is also the leader, Da Zongzheng!

Nowadays, the newly appointed commander of Lu Wangwei, Ping An, is unknown, and Lu Wangwei is just entering the battlefield for the first time. Even with the assistance of Yongchang Hou's five thousand elite cavalry, in Feng Sheng's view, it will be a stalemate with a slight upper hand in the first battle. Not bad.

Don't even talk about dealing with these 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, even if the opponent comes with 300,000 people, as long as the Ming army spreads out its formations and the Lu Wangwei's artillery and musket arrays are lined up, the enemy will be in vain!
But now, it's not defense, but offense!

However, you shouldn’t have no confidence in King Lu Wei either!
King Lu and his guards have already taken action. How can a mere 30,000 Mongolian soldiers hold off the army for three days?

Although Feng Sheng also felt that King Lu Wei was definitely good at attacking the city, after all there were so many powerful artillery placed there.

Zhu Xi, I will return this sentence to you. Without the protection of your father, you are nothing!

My king's Lu Wangwei is able to achieve meritorious deeds, but I wonder what your Qin Wangwei is capable of?
Today, my king also tells you clearly that your identity as an elder brother is worthless in my eyes!
If you dare to teach me a lesson from a high position, I will refute you once!
Since I've made this king anxious, we might as well bring our respective sergeants and fight against each other! "

The words fell.

Feng Sheng couldn't help frowning and said angrily: "How outrageous! Your Highnesses! No more quarrels before the Northern Expedition!"

at this time.

Feng Sheng was already complaining endlessly!
In the past, the Northern Expedition, with two or three vassal kings, was already a headache.

At least there is still some dignity among the feudal kings.

For example, taking the King of Jin and the King of Yan with him.

Although the King of Jin always bullied the King of Yan, the King of Yan Zhu Di was willing to swallow his anger and avoid excessive quarrels or even going to the point of fighting.

Despite this, sometimes when the two feudal kings quarreled, Feng Sheng would feel numb.

After all, the country has rules. The status of the vassal king is higher than that of the duke. Under normal circumstances, the duke must bow to the vassal king when he sees him.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang gave him special privileges and allowed him to control the vassal kings when he was in the army, how could he really dare to control these lawless vassal kings carelessly?

Others don't know about Lao Zhu Xiemo's donkey-killing temper. How can he, a veteran who has followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world since the end of the month, not know about it?

Even if you are cautious in doing things, you may be found guilty of this and sent to prison one day, let alone provoking these vassal kings.

When the time comes, people will hate you and complain to the emperor. They are your biological father and son. Wouldn't you, an outsider, be defeated by just complaining?
Now these few words are Feng Sheng's most severe warning.

After all, what Zhu Tan said was outrageous. The army had just set out for battle, and they actually wanted to fight against the King of Qin!

Zhu Xi was completely shocked when he heard Zhu Tan's words.

He didn't expect that this tenth brother would be so bold and would lead his troops to risk his life if he disagreed with him!
Suddenly, King Qin's confidence was not enough.

Although he is the so-called Da Zongzheng and the leader of all kings, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has never given himself a higher status than any other vassal king.

On the contrary, Zhu Tan's status and power now are very special, and he can even be called the strongest vassal king in history.

He could recruit troops by himself, manage civil affairs by himself, decide on the appointment and dismissal of officials, and could enter and exit the vassal territory at will.

And he also has a double salary that all feudal kings don't have!
If these powers were given to Qin King Zhu Ping, Zhu Ping would even dare to compete with his eldest brother for the position of crown prince.

As for Zhu Tan, because he was ranked tenth and Zhu Tan was not the legitimate son of Empress Xiaocigao, there was no hope of fighting for the heir apparent. But even if there is no hope of competing for the throne, it is enough to see the emperor's favor and trust in Zhu Tan.

In this case, Zhu Ping actually had no qualifications to compete with Zhu Tan.

Originally, he thought that he could rely on his elder brother's status to overpower Zhu Tan, and even make others respect him by suppressing Zhu Tan.

But he didn't expect that Zhu Tan would not follow his own tricks at all, and instead completely brought down the face of his own King Qin!
Zhu Feng said angrily: "You, you. How can you be so unreasonable? You are simply hopeless!"

Zhu Tan snorted coldly.

"Your Highness, King Qin, please take care of yourself. No one will pamper you after you leave the Great Wall!"

Zhu Ping was stunned by Zhu Tan and was speechless.

When the other vassal kings saw it, they felt secretly happy.

On weekdays, Zhu Fang always shows off his second brother or Da Zongzheng's status, always trying to outdo his brothers.

There were many vassal kings who were dissatisfied with Zhu Fang, but everyone respected his identity as the second son, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang always liked to emphasize the superiority of elders and younger ones, so everyone always swallowed their anger.

Even Zhu Di would sometimes be caught by Zhu Ping accidentally and scolded.

This is the first time that someone like Zhu Tan has been so tough on Zhu Xi, even making him unable to step down.

Feng Sheng, Guo Ying and others all watched the reactions of the feudal kings.

I couldn't help but shake my head secretly.

How popular is Empress Xiaocigao? It stands to reason that although his second son's status and respect are not as good as those of his eldest son Zhu Biao, he should at least be the most respected among the kings.

Who would have thought that now the brothers are happy to see him embarrassed.

Guo Ying sighed slightly.

It's not a good thing for King Qin and King Lu to be in such a stalemate. It's better to take this step yourself.

Guo Ying smiled at Zhu Fang and said: "Your Highness, King Qin, you are on an expedition now, so everyone is inevitably a little angry. To put it bluntly, it is all for the sake of the country and the Northern Expedition! Everyone, please take a step back and stop arguing. Okay. ?"

If it was a normal attempt to break up the fight, Guo Ying would also say that Zhu Tan had some minor problems and ask Zhu Tan to apologize to Zhu Shuang. If the matter was revealed, then Zhu Xi would definitely gain face and be able to get off the ground.

however.

But Guo Ying knew that his nephew had a worse temper than King Qin.

At best, Zhu Ming was fierce in appearance and arrogant in words, but in fact he did not dare to act in earnest.

Zhu Tan is really angry, so he really dares to kill the master of your family.
Therefore, he did not dare to say that Zhu Tan had any problems, otherwise it would only anger Zhu Tan and make the whole matter more difficult to handle.

When Zhu Feng heard Guo Ying's words, he snorted and said: "I am also doing it for the Ming Dynasty! After all, there is no joke in the army. People like Lao Shi just come and say that Lu Wangwei can capture Tongzhou City in half a day!" What if the army takes it seriously and rushes over now but is blocked by Tongzhou City? Isn’t this a delay to the military plane?”

Hearing this, King Zhu Zhu couldn't help but said: "Second brother, listen to my younger brother's advice and stop fighting!

Lao Shi is an honest man. He said that if he could defeat it in half a day, he would definitely be able to do it! ! "

Qi King Zhu Shu stood next to Zhou King Zhu Zhu, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he heard his words.

Is this Zhu Laoshi an honest man?
I'm afraid it's not you, His Highness King Zhou, who is the honest man, right?

Back in Yingtian City, Zhu Laoshi had a slight dispute with him. Not only did he kill his own horse, he even killed a dozen of his guards!

You say this kind of person is an honest person!
Have you never seen what an honest person looks like?
When King Qin Zhu Xi heard Zhu Xi's words, he said coldly: "What? Do you believe Lao Shi's bragging?"

The words fell.

Zhu Tan sneered.

"Song Guo Gong! I have issued a military order here! If Lu Wang's guards cannot capture Tongzhou City within half a day, please Song Guo Gong beheads me, Zhu Tan! If they do, please Song Guo Gong beheads His Highness King Qin's head. , with a true military spirit!”

When Feng Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Ancestor!
Please spare me!

What does "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" say?

The royal family members and nobles who broke the law could not be guilty of the same crimes as the common people, and the right to convict them must be determined by the emperor himself.

I have grown so many heads that I dare to chop off the heads of you vassal kings!

Zhu Fang sneered and said: "Old Shi, don't talk about useless things! In this world, who can chop off the head of the feudal king except the father! Let's make a realistic bet!

If Tongzhou City can really be captured within half a day, I will lose you one hundred thousand taels of silver!

Otherwise, how about you lose 10 taels of silver to me? "

Zhu Tan sneered when he heard this.

"This is a good bet! But can His Highness Prince Qin only take one hundred thousand taels of silver? I'm sorry, I don't even bother to participate in such a small bet! Either one million taels of silver or no more!"

After Zhu Tan finished speaking, everyone had a wry smile on their faces.

Is this Zhu Xiang a pig brain?

Did you make a bet with the richest man in the world, His Highness Prince Lu?
