My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 143: Transforming military rations?
Jingnan followed the will of heaven and was the orthodox policy? !

The tiles fell because the King of Yan was a real dragon born, so there must be wind and rain? !

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhu Gaoyu and felt something was strange.

He always had a feeling that...his words were being snatched away from him.

But before he could say this, how did Zhu Gaoyu do it...exactly as he thought?

This indescribable feeling of strangeness made Yao Guangxiao frown, seeming a little puzzled.

Peng Er, who was originally still standing firm, was completely dumbfounded when he saw the "Great Ming Unified Map" in Zhu Gaoyu's hand.

This, this can't be true, can it?

Did Taizu really give something as significant as a map to Zhu Gaoyu?

This map in particular is the only one of the "Great Ming Unified Map", which includes many overseas islands and even the outline of a large continental plate.

Even the originally resolute Peng Er began to waver, not to mention those soldiers who had originally sided with Prince Yan.

For a moment, the shouts of the soldiers in front of Xizhimen were as loud as a tidal wave that shook the sky.

Fengtian!

Jingnan!

Zhu Di's expression was grim and murderous, and in the biting cold wind, there seemed to be a murderous intent that reached the sky.

At this moment, a red sun burst out, and the golden light fell on Zhu Di's armor like golden dragon scales, highlighting his heroic appearance and lofty ambitions.

Spring is not yet old, the wind blows gently and sideways, and the black hair at the temples is flying.

Everything is just right!

Zhu Di pointed the tip of his sword diagonally in the direction that had been decided early on.

——Tongzhou!

……

Zhu Di's plan was very well arranged as early as when he started training troops in the back garden.

Except for the Xizhimen area tonight, there were some ripples due to the appearance of Peng Er.

However, after the appearance of Zhu Gaoyu, a little kid who was not included in the calculations, the plan inexplicably returned to its original track.

According to Zhu Di's arrangement, after capturing the Nine Gates, the remaining commanders who escaped from Peking would retreat to Juyongguan and Jizhou.

Zhu Di left Yao Guangxiao, Guo Zi and others in Beiping to guard Beiping together with Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Gaochi.

Prince of Yan Zhu Di himself, along with Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, sought to open up a route to the south.

Then the problem is coming.

Where is Zhu Gaoyu?

At Xizhimen.

Zhu Gaoyu hugged his father's thigh, blinked his eyes, and tried to get away with it:
"Dad...I also want to go south..."

Zhu Di sneered, reached out his hand and pulled his cheek.

Wow, it’s all fat.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard Zhu Gaoxu's exclamation, he immediately became unhappy and stretched out his hand to slap his father's hand away:

"How can you talk like that? A child's fat, is that what you call fat? Do you think I'm you, a bamboo pole turned spirit?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, his face turned red with anger.

In fact, he is not that skinny.

At most, it's just because of puberty, when I'm growing taller, and because of my slender figure, I look a little thin.

But in Zhu Gaoyu's dog mouth, it became... a bamboo pole turned into a spirit.

Zhu Gaoxu was angry for a long time, and seemed to have thought of something. He did not argue with Zhu Gaoyu, but only said:
"Dogs bark."

"I'm a puppy, what kind of dog are you?"

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned green again.

Zhu Gaochi watched this daily quarrel with a smile on his face.

This has become a daily scene in Prince Yan's Mansion.

Zhu Gaosui calmly dodged to prevent the spit from spraying on his face when the two of them were arguing.

But that's true.

This isn't the first time that the second brother has been scolded. Why doesn't he learn his lesson every time and has to provoke the fourth brother?
In the end, he and his elder brother had to smooth things over.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui also sighed quietly in his heart.

He seemed to have realized something, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Gaochi. They saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes, and sighed at the same time:
Alas! Without them, this family will fall apart sooner or later!
Seeing that the big and the small were about to quarrel again, Zhu Di slapped them both on the back of the head.

Immediately, both of them became obedient.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoyu, rubbed his head, and then spoke:
"Okay, you stay. Peking is our base camp. I feel relieved if you stay here."

Ha ha.

Want to trick Zhu Gaoyu into staying in Peking?

Zhu Gaoyu rolled his eyes but did not protest.

To everyone's surprise, he agreed.

After seeing Zhu Gaoyu taking Peng Er away, Zhu Gaoxu and others still had a feeling of unreality.

The little devil...is not making trouble anymore?
Zhu Gaoyu may have a good hearing because of his young age. He keenly heard the second brother's voice behind him slandering him, and he curled his lips and wrote it down in his little notebook to settle it in the future.

As for whether or not to stay in Peking...

Zhu Gaoyu's legs are on his own body. He can come and go as he pleases. As long as he doesn't delay the battle, who can really stop him?
Zhu Gaoyu glanced at Xiao Jixiang beside him, with a hint of doubt on his face:
"Jixiang, tell me, what gave my brother and my father an illusion that made them think... that I would be a good and obedient child?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Er, who had been following Zhu Gaoyu in a listless manner, suddenly twitched his eyes.

Xiao Jixiang, however, acted as if he was used to it, and even spoke sincerely:

"Your Highness is disobedient, not because you are a bad boy, but because you have a righteous mind and many ideas, so you are unwilling to obey."

"In my opinion, Your Highness is so handsome and graceful that no one of your age can match him. Your Highness, think carefully, who at your age could have captured Abujiwo alive, and now in the midst of thousands of troops, shot an arrow directly at Commander Peng Er and captured Xizhimen?"

When Peng Er heard this, he couldn't help but twitch his eyes again.

There is no need to say that.

How many people are there on the battlefield at Xizhimen?

How come it became an army of thousands in the mouth of this eunuch?
Also, if we are talking about battle records, can you please not bring him into the picture?
The most important thing is that it would be fine if he was taken along, but the most hateful thing is that Peng Er himself was the "record" that was captured in the mouth of this dead eunuch!
Peng Er's temples bulged.

Thinking of the Prince of Yan behind Zhu Gaoyu and the "Map of the Unified Ming Dynasty" in Zhu Gaoyu's hand, he remained silent.

As they walked, Peng Er and Xiao Jixiang felt something was wrong.

As Zhu Gaoyu walked, he ended up heading towards the outskirts of the city...

When passing through the city gate of Peking, after a night of fighting, there seemed to be a solemn atmosphere still lingering in the air.

There were still traces of blood on the city wall. When Zhu Gaoyu passed by, Zhu Neng was also there. He took a quick glance and when he saw Zhu Gaoyu, he spoke in surprise:
"Your Highness, are you going outside the city?"

Although Zhu Gaoyu had lost weight, he looked like a ball because he had to wear a lot of clothes in winter. After putting on a cloak, he looked even more like a ball.

He tried to show a majestic look similar to that of the King of Yan, and said solemnly:
"Ah."

Zhu Neng wanted to laugh for some reason.

Zhu Gaoyu felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he added silently:
"Go to the farm on the outskirts of the city."

Speaking of Zhuangzi, Zhu Neng couldn't help but think of the group of people who came from Datong before. In addition to a part of the guards of Prince Dinghai, there was also a large group of people wearing strange clothes.

Some were wearing ordinary padded jackets, while others were wearing light outer coats. I don’t know what was stuffed inside them, but they looked bulging, but when you actually put them on, they were not heavy at all, and most importantly... they were very warm.

The group of people was quite complex, including the old, the young, the women and the children. Some were very skinny, while others looked extremely fierce, like refugees who had been stained with blood.

All in all, Zhu Neng could conclude that this was a group of people with complex composition.

And the first thing this group of people did after arriving in Peiping was to build an airtight earthen fort on the outskirts of the city.

So when Zhu Gaoyu mentioned Zhuangzi, Zhu Neng's first reaction was to ask:
"Is that the earthen fort?"

Zhu Gaoyu was surprised.

So his Zhuangzi has become so famous?

He replied with some joy:
"OK!"

The earthen fort is not far from the outskirts of the city.

Zhu Neng arranged a team of personal guards, and he felt much more relieved when he saw Zhu Gaoyu leaving with his personal guards.

Only after Zhu Gaoyu had completely walked away did Zhu Neng, with dark circles under his eyes, suddenly slap his head and mutter to himself belatedly:

"Oh no, I forgot to ask you what you did in the manor!"

Zhu Neng touched his head subconsciously.

Is it really because I have been too tired recently that my memory is not so good...

And the other side.

Zhu Gaoyu was walking on a small path on the outskirts of the city, humming a song, looking in a good mood.

Seeing this, Xiao Jixiang stepped forward silently and smiled awkwardly:

"Your Highness, what are we going to do in the suburbs?"

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at him and did not answer the question, but said:
"Scared?"

Xiao Jixiang stiffened his neck and said, "I am just worried. Beiping City has just been cleaned up, and there may be some stragglers wandering around the outskirts of the city. If Your Highness encounters them..."

"If I come across him, I will capture him personally just like I did with Commander Peng Er!"

Zhu Gaoyu was in high spirits and full of confidence.

Peng Er: ...

No matter what you say or what you say, please don't make fun of Peng Er himself.

Xiao Jixiang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Zhu Gaoyu looked at this companion who had grown up with him, thought about it, and decided to reveal a few things in advance:
"Xiao Jixiang, we are going to the outskirts of the city to do something important."

Xiao Jixiang was a little confused:

"Isn't the most important thing right now to go south and capture Tongzhou, Juyongguan and even Jizhou? What else is there to worry about here?"

Zhu Gaoyu raised his head confidently and uttered two short words:
"Military rations."

Peng Er paused for a moment, looked at Zhu Gaoyu in disbelief, and finally couldn't help but speak out:
"Military rations? You are so young and you don't do any work. How can you make achievements in military rations?"

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at Peng Er with a look of disdain on his face:

"If you can't speak, you'd better not speak."

As soon as you talk, it makes people feel upset!
