Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

When Zhu Di further elaborated on the details of how Wang Congyi led the ambush troops to set up the trap ingeniously and succeed in one fell swoop, Zhu Gang was instantly attracted, and his whole body seemed to be fixed on the chair by an invisible force.

He was seen leaning forward slightly, his hands unconsciously resting on his knees, staring at Zhu Di intently.

At this moment, Zhu Gang's ears were capturing every word like a sensitive hunter, fearing that he would miss any key information.

The smile first gently appeared at the corner of his mouth, just like the ripples slowly rising on the surface of a calm lake, delicate and soft.

At first, the smile was a bit subtle, with just the corners of the mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint arc.

However, as the wonderful details in Zhu Di's narration continued to unfold, that smile bloomed more and more brilliantly like a flower that was nourished.

It spread like a vine, quickly climbing up the entire face, driving away all the previous gloom and boredom without a trace.

Zhu Gang's eyes narrowed into two crescents because of his increasingly intense smile, and his originally deep eyes now only had two bright slits.

But it still cannot conceal the flickering light within, which is the joy of victory and pride in the successful deployment.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious because of this smile, like a special mark engraved by the years, but at this moment he revealed a kind of sincere relief and joy.

It seemed as if all the stress and worries disappeared with this smile.

At this moment, Zhu Gang was immersed in the joy brought by this hard-earned good news, and was enjoying the sweetness of victory to the fullest.

Then Zhu Gang could no longer suppress his excitement. He suddenly straightened his body and raised his right arm high.

Then he slapped the armrest of the seat hard, making a crisp "pa" sound that was particularly clear in the quiet central military tent.

At the same time, Zhu Gang shouted in praise: "Good! Well done! This is God's help."

The voice was as loud as a bell, full of confidence and joy.

It was as if he wanted to completely release the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

The central army tent, which was originally filled with a dull and depressing atmosphere due to Lin Zhen's lengthy and untimely report, was instantly as if the sun had penetrated the haze.

The previous annoyance was swept away by the sudden good news, just like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.

The tense nerves of everyone in the tent finally relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Zhu Gang's smile filled with joy was like a light source with magical power, illuminating the entire central military tent.

The soldiers' eyes were filled with renewed fighting spirit and hope; the generals looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement and encouragement.

The tent, which was originally a little dim, seemed to become exceptionally bright and uplifting because of the good news and Zhu Gang's infectious smile.

The air is no longer filled with tension and anxiety, but is filled with anticipation and confidence in victory.

It seemed as if victory was just around the corner and within reach.

But Lin Zhen said with a slightly worried look: "Your Highnesses, as the saying goes, before troops move, food and fodder must go first.

Although General Wang successfully intercepted a batch of food and supplies from the enemy, the exact quantity is still unknown.

I observed carefully along the way and noticed that there were nearly 125 people in Shuozhou Guard, and they needed to consume at least shi of food every day.

If we rashly pursue the invading enemy, once we fail to supply food and fodder in time, the enemy will easily take advantage of our weakness and invade!"

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the tent.

The heavy curtain was gently lifted, and a cold wind carrying a hint of chill quietly came in.

Yin Xing, the governor of Shuozhou Wei, bent his waist, followed Zheng Yuchun carefully, and slowly stepped into the tent.

Zheng Yuchun walked with steady and powerful steps, and he was wearing a black cloak.

There were still some unmelted snowflakes on it, which flickered faintly under the reflection of the charcoal fire. He was wearing a suit of armor made of fine iron, with the armor plates tightly connected.

In the firelight, each piece has a cold metallic luster, and seems to be telling of the baptism of war it has experienced.

There are delicate patterns carved on the edges of the armor, highlighting the extraordinary status of its owner.

Zheng Yuchun's face was resolute at this time, and his eyes revealed the calmness and determination of a veteran in the battlefield. Every step he took seemed to carry unquestionable majesty.

Yin Xing, who was following behind him, was slightly shorter in stature.

Standing next to Zheng Yuchun, his thin figure appears even more frail.

He was also wearing armor, but compared to Zheng Yuchun's exquisite and majestic armor, Yin Xing's armor was a little simple.

Although the nail plate's luster is not that bright, it has been wiped very clean and there is no trace of rust.

Yin Xing looked a little reserved and awed. After entering the tent, he lowered his head slightly and did not dare to look directly at everyone.

At the same time, Yin Xing's eyes subconsciously wandered on the ground, and his hands rubbed unconsciously, as if he was nervous and didn't know what to do.

The arrival of the two people instantly weakened the originally heated discussion in the big tent.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zheng Yuchun and Yin Xing, and they were all wondering what the purpose of their visit was.

Zheng Yuchun bowed and said, "Your Highness, Prince of Jin, I just heard that General Wang led an ambush to defeat the enemy's baggage train, so I brought Yin Xing, the governor of Shuozhou, to come and ask for a fight."

Zheng Yuchun remembered that it was the end of the third year of Hongwu. The cold wind in the north was raging like a knife, and the world was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Yin Xing brought his family and finally arrived at Shuozhou Wei after a tiring journey.

Although Yin Xing looked a little tired due to the long journey, his eyes showed firmness and determination, as if he had already prepared to take root in this land and perform his duties.

At that time, Zheng Yuchun had just been conferred the title of Marquis of Xingyang, and behind this honor were many affairs that followed.

Not only did he have to go to the capital immediately to meet the emperor to express his gratitude, but he also had to start planning a series of complicated matters, including the construction of the Xingyang Marquis's mansion.

In this era of strict hierarchy and numerous rules, these matters cannot be taken lightly.

It was for this reason that as soon as Yin Xing took office as the governor of Shuozhou Wei, Zheng Yuchun entrusted all the military and political affairs of the Wei to him.

Zheng Yuchun knew Yin Xing's ability and character very well. Before leaving, he took Yin Xing's hand and told him earnestly, "All the affairs of the Guard are depending on you. Don't slack off in the slightest."

After saying that, he took a team of personal soldiers, left Shuozhou at full speed, and galloped towards Yingtian Prefecture.

In the blink of an eye, it was August of the seventh year of Hongwu. It was a clear autumn day with a bright blue sky.

Everything was in order in Yingtian Prefecture, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After careful consideration and repeated discussions in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang officially issued an edict to fully implement the Wei Suo system.

This system was the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty's military system, and its purpose was to maintain long-term stability in the Ming Dynasty by rationally arranging garrisons and consolidating border defenses.

During the implementation of this grand system, most garrisons underwent an important personnel adjustment.

The number of garrison officers such as Zhenfu was increased to two each to strengthen the administrative strength of the garrison.

As for Shuozhou Wei, Yin Xing was in a rather special situation.

He had already had the valuable experience of establishing Laizhou Wei in the first year of Hongwu, and he demonstrated extraordinary talent and wisdom in the construction of the garrison.

In addition, Yin Xing was entrusted by Zheng Yuchun, so he naturally became the actual person in charge of Shuozhou Wei in its early days. (End of this chapter)
