The fierce grandson of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 170 Feng Sheng: The eldest grandson of the emperor has saved us!

Zhu Xiong Ying reminded Feng Sheng.

Not only because Lao Feng was a veteran general from Huaixi who followed Lao Zhu in conquering the country and made numerous contributions.

More importantly, those petty acts of greed and misappropriation are nothing compared to actual ability.

Conversely, if, as in history, a valiant general were lost, then it would be a great loss!

Before Lao Zhu finds out, let's give him a warning so he'll behave himself!

To avoid ending up like many founding fathers and their relatives, suffering a tragic fate!

After all, after his grandfather's repeated purges, there weren't many veteran generals from Huaixi left in the court.

Most of those still alive are loyal and hardworking!

Within their capabilities, as long as no fundamental errors have been committed, they should protect those who deserve protection and warn those who deserve warning.

After all, our common goal is to build a powerful and prosperous Ming Dynasty!

After a moment's thought, Zhu Xiong Ying picked up his pen and ink and wrote a personal letter.

He then ordered Sanbao to summon Xu Yungong.

Far away in the land of gold.

Several days have passed since Nahach submitted to the government.

Under Feng Sheng's leadership, all the surrendered people were assigned to camps and settled down temporarily!

Their troops were supervised by the Ming army, and rations were distributed daily. The wounded and sick were treated by the army doctors and medical students from the university.

Of course, the most troublesome thing is nothing more than registration, screening and compilation.

This matter was handled by Fu Youde.

Feng Sheng handed over some of the captured property to his trusted confidants for their care.

As for Lan Yu, he was ordered to search the mountains to wipe out the scattered Yuan invaders who refused to surrender!

Li Wenzhong, relying on his troops, continued to persuade various tribes, large and small, to surrender, while also guarding against enemies in the northern desert.

Nahachu himself, who had surrendered, and his trusted generals were already planning to be escorted to Beiping by the Ming army, and then await the imperial decree from the capital for appropriate arrangements!

Several days later, it was already early June.

Xu Yungong, Tang Ding, and other members of the nobility rode swiftly on horseback, accompanied by guards. After several days of travel without rest, covered in dust, they finally arrived at the Ming army camp in Jinshan.

Looking at the endless rows of camps and the fluttering flags.

Countless soldiers were also busy, some carrying provisions, others training.

The group of young people were deeply moved.

After entering the camp, they headed straight for the central command tent.

Upon arriving outside the tent, Xu Yungong walked ahead and bowed to the guarding soldiers, saying, "This humble general, Xu Yungong, has come by order of the Crown Prince to pay my respects to the General and assist in the pacification of the surrendered people. Please inform him of my arrival!"

This personal guard stayed by Feng Sheng's side for a long time.

He was already a familiar face to many military figures.

Upon hearing the name, one immediately knew that he was the eldest son of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei!

In addition, his companions were all distinguished and clearly came from prominent backgrounds.

Besides, the eldest grandson of the emperor was brought out!

He dared not delay and hurriedly replied, "Please wait a moment, young generals, I will go and inform them immediately!"

Only a dozen or so breaths have passed.

A soldier, gripping his sword hilt, jogged closer, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "The General invites you all into the tent!"

"Thank you for your help!"

Only after the curtain was lifted did I step inside.

A faint smell of alcohol wafted towards me.

Xu Yungong subconsciously glanced upwards.

General Feng Sheng sat in the main seat, a wine jar beside him, his face flushed, his brows furrowed with pride. Upon seeing this, he subconsciously frowned.

At the same time, upon seeing the group entering, Feng Sheng immediately stood up and said with a loud laugh, "My dear nephews, you must have had a long and tiring journey!"

In terms of seniority, Feng Sheng belongs to his father's generation.

The young officers quickly bowed and greeted the General: "Your humble servants pay their respects to the Great General!"

Feng Sheng extended a hand in a gesture of support, and said with a smile, "We're all family, no need for formalities! Someone, bring tea!"

After the younger generation took their seats, Feng Sheng stroked his beard and asked with concern, "I wonder how His Highness the Crown Prince is doing in Beiping?"

""

Xu Yungong rose and said, "Reporting to the General, His Highness the Crown Prince is well!"

"Upon learning of Nahachu's surrender, the eldest grandson of the emperor was overjoyed and specially dispatched us, his men, to assist the general in dealing with the surrendered troops!"

"In addition, as arranged by the eldest grandson of the emperor, we have also brought medicines and provisions from Beiping this time."

As Xu Yungong spoke, he took out a small booklet and said, "This is a detailed record of the supplies; please take a look, General!"

The officer took the booklet and handed it to Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng glanced through the list and praised, "The Crown Prince has considered everything thoroughly; these medicines arrived just in time! Especially those needed for epidemic prevention, which are of utmost importance!"

Then, through a question-and-answer session, the group chatted for the better part of an hour, discussing some details.

After speaking, Tang Ding and the other young generals turned and left the main tent one after another.

Only Xu Chonggong voluntarily stayed behind.

Seeing this, Feng Sheng was curious but did not ask directly. Instead, he inquired about the well-being of his old comrade-in-arms, Xu Da.

"Nephew Yungong, how is your father's health in the capital? It's been quite some time since we last saw him after we parted ways in Beiping!"

Xu Yungong pondered for a moment, then replied in detail, "Thank you for your concern, General. My father is in good health, though he occasionally suffers from some of his old ailments!"

"Furthermore, my father, while in the capital, often speaks of the General, saying that when the General returns to the capital in triumph, we must have a proper reunion!"

Thinking back on all these years, the experience of fighting side by side.

Feng Sheng stroked his beard and said with deep feeling, "Your father's words are exactly what I desire. When we meet again, we must drink until we're completely drunk!"

We chatted for a while about everyday things.

Xu Yungong glanced to the left and right.

Feng Sheng understood immediately and waved for his guards to leave!

When only the two of them remained, Xu Yungong stepped forward, took out a letter from his robes, and handed it over with both hands, saying solemnly, "General, this is a personal letter from His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Before his departure, the eldest grandson of the emperor specifically instructed that I must personally deliver this to you!"

After listening, Feng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed, his drunkenness dissipated, and he accepted the letter.

In truth, he was quite confused.

But when he opened the letter and looked at the handwriting inside, his heart skipped a beat.

The inscription read: "Upon hearing that Grandpa Feng pacified Liaodong without bloodshed, and that Nahachu led over 200,000 troops to surrender, I, a junior in Beiping, am overjoyed!"

"Since the turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Grandpa Feng has made unparalleled contributions to the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor is gratified, the entire court admires him, and I, as a junior, also feel respect for him."

"But lately, although I am in Beiping, I often hear rumors that Grandpa Feng has withheld military funds and hoarded valuables!"

"This junior doesn't find it strange at all! After all, Grandpa Feng has spent his life on the battlefield, risking his life for the Ming Dynasty. It's only natural for him to be rich and honored!"

"However, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor has been strict in investigating corruption and discouraging speech, and he is extremely intolerant of any wrongdoing! No matter who it is, if they cross the line, they will not escape the punishment of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Grandpa Feng was a former subordinate of my maternal grandfather, a famous general who fought alongside my imperial grandfather to conquer the world, and also an elder of Xiong Ying!"

"Whether what I have heard is true or false, I, as a junior, cannot bear to cause any harm to my elders because of such a trivial matter."

After spending half a cup of tea's time reading it carefully, Feng Sheng was deeply moved.

I feel terrible!

The eldest grandson of the emperor had heard about his actions.

And what about His Majesty?
