Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 47: My good nephew, my second uncle is here (begging for investment, follow-up reading, and collection)

"Why did the Duke summon us here? If Wang Zhen knew about this, I'm afraid there would be more trouble."

"Who cares about that damn eunuch? The army is in such a mess. If Yesen catches up with us, we're all doomed. Damn it, I'm going to chop that damn eunuch off before I die."

"Hush, Brother Wu, be careful with your mouth. Stop talking."

In less than three quarters of an hour, a large group of generals gathered in Zhang Fu's military tent.

Zhu Zhanjun, standing behind the curtain of the rear tent, parted a gap and looked at these people, many of whom looked familiar.

There were generals from the Five Army Camps, the Three Thousand Army Camps, and the Shenji Camp.

But after looking around, Zhu Zhanjun found that most of them were middle-level generals, and the commander-in-chief did not see many of them.

"Most of the people have arrived." Zhang Fu approached and whispered, "Although I have asked people to be as careful as possible, there are so many people after all. If we delay for too long, I'm afraid something might happen."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded slightly, turned and walked towards Old Zhu who was already fully armed.

"Grandpa."

Old Zhu, who was thinking with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and a sharp light burst out.

Standing up quickly, Old Zhu patted Zhu Zhanjun on the shoulder and said, "We are only assisting you. How do we fight next? You are the one who makes the decision."

Zhu Zhanjun understood what Old Zhu meant.

He will experience countless wars in the future. Lao Zhu's help is ultimately an external force, and what he experiences and understands is his own.

In the Battle of Tumu, Zhu Yuanzhang was only responsible for maintaining order. How to fight and how to plan the battle was up to Zhu Zhanjun himself. As for what the next steps for the Ming Dynasty should be, all decisions had to be made by Zhu Zhanjun himself.

This was a very precious learning opportunity. Some emperors would never encounter a war involving an army of hundreds of thousands in their lifetime, not to mention having an old emperor by their side to guide and learn.

Zhu Zhanjun took a deep breath and bowed to Old Zhu.

Then he turned around and walked towards the outer tent with Lao Zhu.

"Cough cough~"

Seeing that the grandparents were ready, Zhang Fu, who was standing next to the door curtain, coughed heavily to remind the outside.

When it was quiet outside, he personally lifted the curtain.

Zhu Zhanjun and Lao Zhu strode out.

The generals who were saluting and waiting were all stunned when they caught a glimpse of the person coming out.

It’s not that they know Lao Zhu, but their status is too low and they are not qualified to see Lao Zhu’s portrait.

The generals were all confused. What were the identities of the two people, one big and one small? They actually asked Ying Gong to personally lift the door curtain. The guard general Fan Zhong followed behind the two people like a servant.

Zhu Zhanjun came out and did not look at the puzzled generals. He accompanied Old Zhu to the commander's seat in the big tent.

Old Zhu sat down in his seat without any hesitation, with Zhu Zhanjun and Fan Zhong guarding him on both sides.

The scene before them made the generals confused and surprised. But they did not dare to ask, and could only wait for explanation with full of doubts.

Zhang Fu definitely didn't call them over for no reason.

Sure enough, it was just as they thought.

After Old Zhu sat down, Zhang Fu clapped his hands.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

There was a clanging sound of armor rubbing against each other.

Everyone's heart sank and they looked at Zhang Fu in shock.

"Duke of England, you..."

An old veteran was shocked and looked at Zhang Fu with a pale face.

"General Lin, brothers."

Zhang Fu clasped his fists and explained, "There are reasons for this. It's not what you think. You will understand it later."

After saying that, he turned to face Old Zhu, knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the generals who care about the Ming Dynasty have been summoned. Please give us instructions, Your Majesty!"

"Emperor Gaozu!"

Everyone present was instantly shocked by the thunder and looked at Lao Zhu in confusion. Then they looked at Zhang Fu who was kneeling on the ground, and each of them looked at him as if he was a madman.

"You are crazy, Duke of England."

General Lin took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhang Fu who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted at him: "I know you are disappointed with His Majesty, but how can you do this? Do you think this is worthy of the attention that the three emperors, Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong, have shown you?"

"What do you want to do? If you want to rebel, I'm sorry, but I can't accompany you. My nine clans don't want to reunite in the underground for the time being."

The other generals had similar expressions. If they had not been concerned about the possible assassins outside, they would have turned around and left.

Some even secretly reached for the knife handles at their waists, ready to kill. Or, they looked at Zhang Fu...

"Shut up."

Fan Zhong roared, and the situation temporarily stabilized.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Fan Zhong shouted, "I can tell you responsibly that the person in front of you is none other than the Emperor Taizu Gao." Then he shouted to a man in the far corner whose eyes had widened as if he had seen a ghost since Zhu appeared, "Luo Fei, you were a member of the Imperial Guards during the Hongwu period and have met the Emperor Taizu Gao. Tell us about it."

The old Jinyiwei, with a wrinkled face and gray hair under the brim of his hat, ignored the glances from everyone.

He stared at Lao Zhu blankly, then slowly walked forward and bent his knees.

"thump!"

Tears gradually emerged from his dim old eyes. Luo Fei fell heavily to the ground, choking and shouting, "Luo Fei, the flag bearer of the Guard Division, wishes the emperor good health. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

The scene suddenly became quiet and everyone held their breath.

But for some reason, some people began to tremble.

Old Zhu looked at Luo Fei, thought for a moment and said, "You are from Xu Bing's 100-man team, right? I remember you. In the 14th year of Hongwu, you seemed to have taken over your father's job and were on duty at Fengtian Gate."

"Woooooooo..."

Luo Fei prostrated himself on the ground, whimpering softly.

He didn't expect that he, a small figure, would have the honor of being remembered by Emperor Taizu Gao.

"It's my subordinate."

Hearing the word "subordinate", many people showed a hint of envy in their eyes.

When addressing Emperor Taizu Gao, one cannot call him "subordinate" casually. Only those who have served as the emperor's personal soldiers in the Gongwei Division are qualified to address Emperor Taizu Gao in this way.

"Okay, not bad, the body is pretty solid."

Old Zhu nodded slightly and then looked at the others.

Shit, how bad is the current one? He even made the ancestor so angry that he crawled out of his coffin.

"Crash..."

When Lao Zhu glanced at them, everyone present felt their knees go weak and they all fell to the ground.

Even many generals who were stared at by Zhu had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads. They were all thinking about how they would die when Emperor Taizu Gao was angry.

After all, they cannot shirk their responsibility for being beaten into such a bad state.

Thinking of the methods used by Emperor Taizu Gao to punish corrupt and incompetent officials during the Hongwu period, many people began to secretly regret why they did not leave a suicide note before setting off.

Zhu Zhanjun, who was standing next to Old Zhu, felt emotional when he saw the performance of the generals.

What is imperial majesty and what is kingly dominance?

This is Lao Zhu.

Without saying a word or getting angry, just a look made these generals, who were fighting on the battlefield and rolling among the dead, become terrified and tremble in fear.

He had only heard of how powerful Lao Zhu was, but he was already scared like this.

Zhu Zhanjun could not imagine what kind of mentality and situation the officials and generals of the Hongwu era would have when facing the violent and ruthless Zhu.

Facing the kneeling generals, Lao Zhu did not let them stand up, and said calmly: "We already know what happened, and we will judge their merits and demerits later."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief.

Life is saved temporarily.

Old Zhu waved his hand at Zhu Zhanjun and said, "Show them the things. We need to convince them."

Zhu Zhanjun responded, holding the tray and displaying the contents in front of the generals one by one.

The generals took a quick glance and knelt even lower.

Zhu Zhanjun showed it to everyone, and Lao Zhu continued:
"From now on, the young man in front of you is your commander. You must obey his orders. Remember, it is any order, even if it asks you to kill the idiot sitting in the seat now."

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, there was silence below.

Zhang Fu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were getting colder and colder, so he shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor Taizu heard that Ming was in trouble, so he took two days off to come and help, and to solve the court problems. You are not grateful, but silently disobeyed. Do you really think that I dare not use military law?"

Take two days off?

Solve court problems?

The generals' eyes lit up and they understood instantly.

Good man, it's only been two days since we started dating, and you're already replacing that idiot. Really, you should have said this earlier, you scared me.

"I will receive the order."

All the generals shouted in unison, and then, led by Zhang Fu, bowed to Zhu Zhanjun.

"This humble general greets the commander."

Looking at the people coming to greet him, Zhu Zhanjun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked in the direction of Zhu Qizhen.

My dear nephew, here comes your uncle!
