The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 400 The Big Wedding
March [-], as scheduled.

Zhengyang Avenue, from Zhengyangmen to Zhengyang Square, is decorated with lanterns and festoons, the ground is paved with red cloth, and the guards are under martial law.

On both sides of the road, there are densely packed people of Ming Dynasty.

They looked forward to the end of the road.

"Here we come, Concubine Grandson is here!"

Following bursts of exclamations, vocal music was heard immediately.

In the distance of Zhengyang Avenue, there is a drum team in front, accompanied by dozens of cavalry guards, and in the middle are sixteen strong men, carrying sedan chairs.

The sixteen-carrying sedan chair is exclusive to the emperor.

In fact, the current situation like Zhu Ying and Ye Yueqing rarely happened in ancient and modern history.

As the great-grandson, Zhu Ying now enjoys the treatment only available to the emperor, and of course this treatment was specially approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In other dynasties, the crown prince had another set of etiquette arrangements.

In some dynasties, there was even a gap between the emperor and the prince, so it is naturally impossible to have such a grand scene.

And after becoming emperor, the process of getting married was gone.

It's time to go straight to the process of registering a queen.

Not to mention the people watching the ceremony.

On Zhengyang Square, hundreds of officials stand respectfully on both sides, at the top of the head, and under the stage of raising the flag of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, and Zhu Ying stood beside him.

"Da Sun, how do you feel at the moment?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the eldest grandson who was staring at the front without moving, and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying turned her head and said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't make fun of your grandson. This is your grandson's first wedding. I can't tell you how I feel in my heart."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and looked towards the end of Zhengyang Avenue, the sender who was walking slowly.

His eyes were in a trance, as if he had seen the scene of his own marriage.

At that time, he was Guo Zixing's personal soldier Ninth Commander, and he took the lead in the battle, and all the spoils he got were handed over to Guo Zixing.

After receiving a reward, and saying that the credit belongs to everyone, he distributed the reward to everyone.

Guo Zixing admired Zhu Yuanzhang very much, and thought of the entrustment of his best friend Ma Gong, he married Ma Shi to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still called Zhu Chongba.

The sergeant in the army also changed his name to Mr. Zhu.

After Zhu Yuanzhang got married, he also changed his official name.

Zhu Guorui.

It was the name that was mentioned when I first met Zhu Ying.

Thinking of his former self, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth turned up slightly, but the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.

The beauty of being with a big girl in the past can no longer be returned.

The loud sound of drums and music brought Zhu Yuanzhang back to his senses, realizing that today is a great day for his grandson, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Zhu Ying did not notice this scene.

His mind was attracted by the getting closer and closer send-off team ahead.

In his past and present lives, this was his first marriage, and he had already reached the point of marrying a wife before he had ever been in love.

start a family,

What a distant vocabulary is now in front of my eyes.

He didn't say anything, but there was already a different feeling in his heart.

A very strange feeling.

Perhaps due to the influence of her previous life, an invisible responsibility fell on her shoulders.

Before long, he will assume the role of a father.

While the mind was racing, the team had already arrived at Zhengyang Square.

"What are you doing still in a daze, go quickly."

The old man's urging came from beside her ear, Zhu Ying responded and hurried over.

When Zhu Ying walked past the Daming flag-raising platform, all the officials bowed, the soldiers knelt on one knee, and the common people bowed their heads.

More drums sounded.

Behind him is the flag of Ming Dynasty, slowly raised for the first time.

Zhu Ying walked to the sedan chair, led Ye Yueqing who was wearing a red hijab, and walked slowly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Listening to the officials from the Ministry of Rites reading Zhaowen, Zhu Ying felt the tension in Ye Yueqing's hands.

Unlike folk worship halls, as the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the crown prince, officials from the Ministry of Rites offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and ancestors.

Many ceremonies are somewhat similar to the grand grandson's canonization ceremony at that time.

For the common people, it is naturally elegant and solemn.

After a ceremony, it was already noon.

The rest will naturally be held in the palace.

"Today is March [-]th, the day of His Royal Highness's wedding. We are ordered to be away and unable to celebrate. Today, we will completely take down the rebels and pacify Shaanxi. As a gift from His Royal Highness, would you like it?"

In the big tent, Lan Yu got up and said in a deep voice.

Today is His Royal Highness Grandson's wedding, but he can only rehabilitate here and cannot congratulate, which makes Lan Yu very unhappy.

As the folk saying goes, the sky is big and the earth is big, and my uncle is the biggest.

Zhu Ying's biological mother is Lan Yu's niece and sister's daughter.

According to seniority, Lan Yu is Zhu Ying's uncle.

Daming's current clan relationship is considered blood relatives before the fifth suit is released.

But now he can't congratulate Zhu Ying as his in-laws uncle.

As for the Chang Sheng and Chang Sen brothers of the Chang family, how could they have any status at all, and how could they compare to themselves.

Hearing the words of Liang Guogong Lanyu, Cao Zhen stood up first to express his opinion:
"These rats in the gutter are hiding in Tibet all day long. These days, they dare not compete with our army at all."

"Now the location of their lair has been found out. The general allowed me to have three thousand soldiers. I will be the vanguard. I will kill him in disorder. I will call these rebels to bow their heads obediently."

What Cao Zhen said was not bragging.

These days, Tian Jiuzheng and other rebels were besieged, and there were many small-scale ambushes in the middle, all of which were won by Ming.

After all, the rebels have not undergone systematic training, and the time of rebellion is not long, and they have only fought two downwind battles.

These two battles can be described as a one-sided situation, and the effect on the promotion of soldiers is not great.

Even when they were attacking the city, there were Shanxi merchants who arranged internal responses, and after two days of siege, they captured the city gate and the city in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, on Lanyu's side, they are all old soldiers, and they are all guards in the capital.

In terms of daily training and other aspects, the combat power needn't be inferior, and because of the emperor's feet, naturally no one would dare to fool him and commit corruption in secret.

Coupled with the appearance of the Xuanjia Guards, the combat power of the soldiers in the guards has greatly increased.

The battle in the mountains and forests does not mean victory with a large number of people on the plains. The charge of an elite sergeant is more effective.

As Cao Zhen agreed, more generals also asked for orders.

Sapphire naturally had no reason to refuse.

But at this moment in the cottage, there is a gloomy scene.

Even though Gao Fuxing raised morale through many strategies, the difference in hard power was too great.

The elite officers and soldiers are not at all able to fight against these farmers who have just revolted.

Once a small team of more than ten people encounters the Ming Dynasty's army, it will only end in annihilation.

Often, one officer can chase and kill four or five people.

No matter in terms of armament or personal fighting ability, the gap in this part is huge.

"Mr. Gao, there is no momentum to speak of in our cottage now. There were hundreds of deserters yesterday."

"If this goes on like this, it won't be long before the cottage is finished."

"This morning, many leaders pushed back and forth, and no one dared to patrol the mountain."

"What should we do now, Mr. Gao has any plans."

Tian Jiucheng took Gao Fuxing to talk in secret behind Dazhai.

The delicacies on the table can't arouse any appetite at all.

The current Tian Jiuzheng can already be said to be in a state of desperation. He thought he could last at least two months, the key is the food problem.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, it would be the end of the mountain.

Daming's official army was really ruthless. Dozens of teams shuttled through the mountains and forests, attacking and killing the patrolling personnel in various ways.

Now they can only close the gate of the village tightly, unable to retreat.

At this time, Gao Fuxing no longer had the confidence he once had, and instead had a somewhat flustered expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the many victories of the officers and soldiers have completely crushed the morale of the brothers. According to my estimation, within the past two days, the officers and soldiers will launch a total attack on the cottage."

"But this time, for our Shanzhai, it is a matter of life and death."

"If we can repel the officers and soldiers, our cottage may be able to enjoy a few days of peace, and it may be delayed until the Ming court gives up."

Listening to Gao Fuxing's analysis, Tian Jiucheng thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. said maybe, can't we keep the cottage even if we repel it?"

Gao Fuxing smiled wryly and said: "The person who leads the army this time is the famous Ming general Liang Guogong Lanyu."

"Lanyu's temper is well known throughout Daming. It is said that last year, Zhan Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was beaten up, and his mansion was surrounded, and he was not allowed to play."

"This kind of character is the most tyrannical. If he is defeated for the first time, it is very likely that he will force the army to attack the mountain regardless of casualties."

"Your Majesty should have seen the strength of these officers and soldiers in recent days. They are not at the same level as the officers and soldiers we fought before. They are all extremely brave."

"Any old pawn who comes to our cottage is at the leader level, but on the other side, he is just a small pawn."

Tian Jiucheng suddenly realized at this moment that even with the help of geographical advantages, he could not stop the Ming court army at all.

Perhaps the only reason for choosing to besiege and not attacking directly was probably the spring plowing.

Thinking of this, Tian Jiucheng couldn't help but smiled wryly: "If we surrender now, is there still a way to survive?"

Gao Fuxing shook his head and said: "Others may have it, but your Majesty and I are bound to die."

Hearing such an affirmative tone, Tian Jiucheng knew it was an extravagant hope.

It's a pity that I have been planning for several years, and once I raise my army, it will be shattered in less than half a year.

While thinking about it, Tian Jiucheng's eyes flashed a trace of cruelty.

"Mr. Gao, looking at it now, even if we defend the first Ming court charge, we can only end up defeated."

"As the old saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. It's better to run away, stay hidden, and look for opportunities."

Gao Fuxing said bitterly: "Now that you are surrounded, there is no way out."

"I just want to escape, but where can I escape to?"

Tian Jiucheng took a deep look at Gao Fuxing, and then said: "Sir, I don't know, there is a reason why I chose to build a cottage here."

"In my residence on the mountainside, there is a secret road leading to the path behind the mountain."

"Usually the officers and soldiers are wandering around, so it is natural to escape, but if the army comes, there will be a chance."

"Let them fight fiercely in front to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, and then we will take hundreds of cronies and retreat from the back mountain."

When Gao Fuxing heard this, his heart moved.

He didn't know that Tian Jiuzheng still had such a secret hidden, even he didn't know it.

After thinking for a while, Gao Fuxing said: "If I just slip away, I'm afraid it will be too late in terms of time."

"If other people know that the king is no longer in the village, then the morale will collapse, and the Ming court's army will easily break through the gate of the village."

"Although I don't know how secret the king's secret way is, but if I find out, I can escape by waiting in these mountains."

Listening to Gao Fuxing's analysis, Tian Jiucheng clenched his teeth and said, "Don't worry, sir."

"There are only three or two people who know about the secret way. When the Ming court army attacks, I will order my confidant Wang Jingangnu to lead the army to guard the front. It will definitely buy us enough opportunities."

Hearing this, Gao Fuxing's eyes flickered.

Wang Jingangnu is considered the most capable fighter in the entire village.

When the army rebelled before, it was extremely brave.

Gao Fuxing didn't need to ask much to know that Tian Jiucheng definitely didn't tell Wang Jingang about the secret way of slavery. Pushing him out at this time would mean sending him to death.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Fuxing still asked, "The cottage is not big, so I can't hide the matter of leaving for too long."

"Your Majesty will lead hundreds of cronies to go together, and it will be easier to be exposed. If the king's leader surrenders to the Ming court at that time, it will be useless."

Gao Fuxing really couldn't understand why Tian Jiucheng was still thinking about his own gold and silver treasures at this moment.

Hundreds of people are nothing to the more than 3 people in the cottage, but they are all Tian Jiucheng's cronies.

If so many people disappear at once, everyone will have a problem.

When Tian Jiucheng heard this, he hesitated for a moment before explaining: "Don't worry, Sir, Commander Wang will definitely fight to the death before him, even if he knows that we are leaving."

Hearing this, Gao Fuxing understood.

Wang Jingangnu has always supported Tian Jiucheng with all his strength and is extremely loyal.

Naturally, Tian Jiucheng was able to do this because of his kindness to Wang Jingangnu before.

Tian Jiuzheng had predicted that even if Wang Jingangnu knew the news, he would choose to fight and die.

Gao Fuxing didn't ask any more questions.

Those who make big things don't stick to the small details.

It's just a pity for such a loyal man as Wang Jingangnu.

Just when Gao Fuxing went back to prepare Xiruan, a shout came from the cottage:
"The official army has attacked the mountain!!! The official army has attacked the mountain!!!"

Gao Fuxing couldn't help being a little contemptuous when he heard this call.

To despise copycats is to despise oneself.

At the same time, a stone fell from my heart, without the slightest hesitation, I took the package to avoid the crowd, and went to Tian Jiucheng's residence.

down the mountain,

Cao Zhen was riding on a horse, with thousands of soldiers behind him. He looked up at the closed village gate on the mountainside, and the surrounding watchtowers.

He sneered and said, "It's really possible to stop this general with just a mere village gate."

Then he shouted loudly: "Brothers, put on the artillery, let these thieves know the power of my firearms!"

Following Cao Zhen's order.

The soldiers gave way, and more than a dozen large general cannons were pushed forward.
