Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

The battle is over and the Ming army begins to clean up the battlefield!
"Second girl!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jinglong hurried over to Lan Yu and said, "Master Lan!"

"Go! Write a battle report and report it to His Majesty."

"By the way, please ask for the next plan."

"It's Lan Shuai!"

After saying that, Li Jinglong turned and left, and Lan Yu came to Zhu Yunhuan's side.

"Your Highness!"

"Uncle, how is it?"

"Did I do well just now?"

Zhu Yunxun chuckled.

Lan Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad! Your bravery is not inferior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"hey-hey……"

Zhu Yunhuan scratched his head and stood up.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle!"

"Your Highness, in the future you will definitely become a powerful general of our Ming Dynasty and the right-hand man of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ok!"

"Don't worry, uncle!"

"I will definitely work hard and do my best to assist Big Brother."

Lan Yu nodded: "Okay, go and rest!"

............................................................

Yingtian!

In the imperial study room!

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with joy as he looked at the memorial in his hand.

"Father, are we really going to deal with Goguryeo next?"

"Yeah! That's right!"

"Now that Lan Yu and his men have won a great victory, the situation in Liaodong has completely stabilized. The next step is naturally Goguryeo."

"Order Lan Yu to station his troops at the Liaodong border and wait for our orders at any time."

Zhu Biao nodded!
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and asked, "Are you worried about Yun Hun?"

Zhu Biao sighed deeply: "This is his first time traveling far away. He is so young and he has to go to the battlefield."

"I don't know how he is now!"

"Do not worry!"

"The descendants of our Zhu family are not so fragile."

"Lan Yu wrote in the memorial that he is as brave as that little bastard Xiong Ying."

"He's even braver than your father-in-law. He's the only one who can kill the enemy. Don't worry!"

"is it?"

"Can you see for yourself?"

Zhu Yuanzhang handed the memorial to Zhu Biao, who took it and looked at it, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

"Father, isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

"Did Yunxun do this?"

"Shocked?"

"Can't imagine it?"

"Wasn't that little bastard Xiongying the same at the beginning?"

"But I'm just wondering, when did Yunxun become so powerful?"

"I've never seen him so powerful before, have I?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled.

"Father, Xiongying would have thrown Yunxun to the Bad Commander several years ago."

"I became the disciple of the Bad Leader and learned all of his skills in just a few years."

“That’s why it’s so awesome!”

"Is this true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao in astonishment.

"When did your son lie to you?"

"Hey? This little bastard is quite forward-looking!"

"Father, I heard Xiongying say that he didn't want Yunxun to be unable to escape when you beat him."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

"What does this little bastard mean?"

"Does he think everyone is as bad as he is?"

"Why should we beat Yunxun if he behaves well?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

"Father, have you forgotten?"

"Once you taught Xiongying a lesson, Yunxun..."

"This kid can't bear to see his elder brother suffer any injustice."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply.

"This deep brotherly love may not necessarily be a good thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly!

"Forget it! Let's not talk about this anymore. Wang Jinghong, Chuan Xiongying, bring the little bastard over here."

"It's your Majesty!"

........................

Not long!
Zhu Xiongying's voice came from outside!
"Old Zhu, Old Zhu..."

"What are you looking for me for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: (￣O￣;)
"You little bastard, you are becoming more and more unruly."

"Oh, don't worry about the details. What do you want from me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "You know the news of the great victory in Liaodong, right?"

"understood!"

"Then tell me, how should we deal with Goguryeo next?"

"What else can be done?"

"It's not that I look down on Goguryeo, but with their limited military strength, we can just let my uncle lead the troops to attack them."

"I promise to beat the shit out of them!"

"and……"

"And what?"

"I received news that Goguryeo is going to be in chaos."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other. Is chaos going to happen?
Why didn't they get the message?
"Little bastard, have you reached out to Goguryeo?"

"Of course!"

"Lee Bang-won is preparing to follow Lee Shi-min's example and launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident."

(O)
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying in surprise.

"How do you know such a secret?"

"Of course it's the work of the bad guys."

"When did you infiltrate their top management?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson in astonishment. The more he looked at this kid, the more he liked him.

What a clever method!
"Ouch! Don't worry about such details."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course we should launch an offensive while they are in chaos. It would be best to kill Lee Seong-gye and attack Lee Bang-won before he can secure his position."

"What if Lee Bang-won fails?"

"After all, he is not Li Shimin, and Li Chenggui is not Li Yuan."

"Prince father, don't worry!"

"If they can't succeed, I will help him. In my eyes, Lee Seong-gye is just a strong ant."

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"It looks like there's already a plan. Since you're in charge of this, let's see what you're capable of."

"If you destroy Goguryeo, you will be credited with the first achievement."

"It's up to you to decide what to do. If you need us, we'll help you solve it. But if you can't solve it, hmm..."

"Old Zhu, don't worry!"

"If I fail to destroy Goguryeo, you will depose me from the position of Crown Prince."

"You think beautiful!"

"You just don't want to do anything?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

"I can……"

"Alright, alright!"

"get out!"

"We don't want to see you now!"

Zhu Xiongying curled his lips and left the imperial study cursing.

................................................

East Palace!

"Somebody come!"

"Call Ma He!"

"Yes!"

…………

Soon Ma He came hurriedly!
"Your Highness, I, Ma He, kowtow to you!"

"I'm free of charge!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Ma He, who was wearing an official uniform, and nodded: "Well! Not bad!"

“It’s very presentable!”

"hehe!"

"Ma He is where he is today, all thanks to Your Highness, otherwise I would still be a servant in the Prince of Xiang's mansion!"

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand: "There is no need to talk about these. Just serve the court well in the future."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Ma He will definitely live up to your expectations."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Ma He, I called you here today because I have something very important to entrust to you." "Your Highness, please give me your orders. Ma He will do his best!"

"Now that the Duke of Liang has won a victory in Liaodong, I'm sure you know about this, right?"

"Know!"

"Now that the situation in Liaodong has stabilized, it's time for us to take action against Goguryeo."

Hearing this, Ma He straightened up and said, "Your Highness, I will do whatever you tell me to do."

Zhu Xiongying said seriously: "Since we are going to attack Goguryeo, we will naturally need warships and your navy."

"Your Highness, I have anticipated this. Yingtian's navy has already been prepared and is just waiting for your order."

Zhu Xiongying shook his head, and Ma He looked at Zhu Xiongying with some surprise.

"Your Highness, don't you need it?"

"Of course I need it, but I don't want a wooden warship like this."

"Ah? No need for wooden warships?"

"This……"

"Your Highness, aren't warships all made of wood?"

Ma He looked at Zhu Xiongying in confusion.

If it’s not made of wood, could it be made of iron?

Of course he didn't dare to say this.

Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "I don't want one made of wood, I want one made of steel."

Mahe: (O)
Is it really made of iron?
"Your Highness, made of iron?"

"Won't this... that... that sink?"

“Can it float?”

Ma He's voice became lower and lower.

"Of course it can float!"

"Look at this!"

As he said this, he handed over a drawing. Ma He took it and was dumbfounded when he looked at it.

"Your Highness, can you also design warships?"

Ma He looked at the drawing in his hand in disbelief.

"Not worth mentioning!"

"Your Highness, if this boat is really made of steel, it must be very heavy. How many people would it take to row it?"

"Look here!"

Zhu Xiongying pointed to the drawing.

"Steam engine?"

"Your Highness, what is a steam engine?"

"Hmm~"

"You can think of it as a power system. With this thing, you can propel the boat. You no longer need canvas or manpower."

“Just burn the coal.”

"Really?"

Ma He's heart was filled with shock. He knew what this meant. It would bring about technological reforms in the Ming Dynasty and even the world.

"I have already told Old Zhu about the steam engine, and he has asked the Ministry of Industry to develop it."

"I have also ordered Daming Heavy Industry to speed up the work. You will be the supervisor and finish it as soon as possible."

"It would be best if we could build it before we start fighting Goguryeo, but I think that's unlikely."

"But we have to build it when we attack Japan. Otherwise, wooden warships like this won't make it to Japan."

"Understand?"

"This matter is not only related to the war in Japan, but also to the future naval power of Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"I will definitely not let Your Highness down."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Train well when you go back, and after a while, follow me north to attack Goguryeo."

"Yes!"

"Go!"

......................................................

Goguryeo!
Lord Jing'an's Mansion!

"Sir, everything is ready!"

Li Fangyuan said lightly.

"But we don't have many people!"

"The palace guards and the Kaijing troops under the Crown Prince's command have a total of 10,000 people."

"And there are at most a thousand of us!"

"Somewhat dangerous!"

Lee Bang Won looked a little worried.

"Prince, when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he only had 800 men."

“But he succeeded. Why?”

"Because he took the initiative, and his men were united in their determination."

"Now, Prince, you have as many people under your command as Li Shimin, and the people around you are of the same mind as you."

"As long as we take advantage of their inattention, we can succeed."

After hearing what Yao Guangxiao said, Li Fangyuan's eyes became more determined.

"Sir, do I really want to kill my brother and father?"

"How will people in the future see me?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "Prince, Li Shimin also killed his own brothers, but it still did not affect his becoming the greatest emperor of all time."

"Become the emperor's role model!"

"With your ability, Prince, you can become the second Li Shimin. Besides, Prince didn't ask you to kill the king."

"You just need to follow Li Shimin's example and undermine the king, forcing him to pass the throne to you."

After hearing this, Lee Bang-won became even more determined to rebel.

"Let's do it tonight!"

"Sir, help me guard the mansion and wait for news of my triumphant return."

"I will help the prince guard the mansion and wait for his triumphant return."

..........................................

After night falls!
The moon is bright and the stars are twinkling in the sky!
It was a great night!

At the gate of the palace, Lee Bang-won took advantage of the cover of night and quietly led his men to a place not far from the palace gate.

Li Fangyuan looked at one of his subordinates, who immediately understood what he meant and immediately imitated the croaking of a frog.

Soon, frog croaking was heard from the opposite side, and the next second the palace gate was slowly opened.

Li Fangyuan rushed in with his men, and the palace gate was closed immediately after they entered.

Lee Bang-won immediately took his men straight to Lee Seong-gye's bedroom.

………………

Lee Seong-gye's bedroom!
At this time, he was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms.

At this time, the eunuch rushed in!

"My king, my king, something bad has happened!"

Lee Seong-gye was awakened: "Asshole!"

"Axi!"

"what happened?"

“Jingjingjing…Jing’an Jun has broken into the palace!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was shot dead by an arrow.

Lee Seong-gye was shocked. Before he could react, Lee Bang-won walked in with his men.

"Lee Bang-won, what are you going to do?"

Li Chenggui was immediately furious.

"Father, I want to control all the troops in the world!"

Lee Seong-gye looked at Lee Seong-gye in shock, who was full of murderous intent.

"Are you rebelling?"

"Ha ha……"

"Father, didn't you also gain the throne through rebellion?"

"If you can, why can't I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his men found the royal seal and token.

"Take the imperial edict to summon the Crown Prince to the palace, and replace the imperial guards."

"Yes!"

The subordinates went down and did it immediately!
"Father, I am sorry to trouble you to come with me!"

"take away!?"

....................................

In the study room!
As soon as Crown Prince Lee Bang-seok walked in, he was controlled.

"What are you going to do?"

"Axi!"

But when he saw the scene inside the house, he was speechless.

"Fifth brother, are you going to rebel?"

"Ha! I'm just taking back everything that belongs to me!"

"Where does the rebellion come from?"

Li Fangyuan said disdainfully.

"Rebellious son, you have done such a treasonous thing, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"Oh! Even if I'm struck by lightning, you won't get anywhere. You're also a rebel."

"Do you think that after you die, the historian will record you as the successor?"

"Our whole family rebelled. I paid so much for you. Among all the brothers, I contributed the most."

"Oh! Now I am a rebellious son. Am I a traitor?"

"What did you do earlier?"

"If you give me the position of the crown prince, will this happen?"

"you……"

Lee Seong-gye was left speechless by what Lee Bang-won said and didn't know how to refute.
