Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 478 Prepare in advance
Xu Yingxu has already made military achievements, and he already has a title, so he naturally feels at ease.Although it is not as good as the eldest brother's duke title, he is still a marquis anyway, and such a status in the Ming Dynasty is already detached enough.

But the third child of his family, even though he was born in the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, also holds an important position in the Five Armies Commander's Mansion.Although Xu Zengshou holds a high position, many people have the impression that he is the youngest son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, the third brother of the current queen, and the third uncle of the prince
Now fight for an opportunity for the third child of my family, not to mention becoming famous in one battle and being appointed as a general, but this is an opportunity.

This time the performance is good, if there are wars in the future, they will naturally have the opportunity to continue to lead the army and gain military merits.

As for Xu Miaoqing, and even the three daughter-in-laws of the Xu family, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Being born in a martial arts family seems to be extremely noble, but as long as there is a war in the court, these martial arts will go out without hesitation.

Enjoying the splendor and wealth, it is natural to take responsibility and risks.The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty are not in vain now.

Just like the emperor's uncles, the three brothers of the Chang family also ran around and fought.Regardless of whether they have the talent to lead troops, when they need to go out, each of them will not hesitate.

Although there is the meaning of the emperor's care, the three brothers of the Chang family, one male and two princes, are also envied by countless nobles. This is the real glory of martial arts.

Although the Xu family has Xu Da's shadow, Xu Da's sons are born with a very high starting point.It's just that if they don't work hard, the Xu family might also be suppressed by the Chang family.

What's more, Xu Yingxu knew in his heart that he was not a proton staying in Beijing.He has led soldiers and participated in fierce battles. Although he is not as good at leading soldiers in battle as his elder brother, he is worse than his third brother.

It is one thing to stay in the capital and help the emperor control the capital, but it is the most real thing to defend the crown prince.

Xu Huizu didn't have any opinion, he felt that his second child's decision was right.As for Xu Zengshou a little excited, his chance has come.

Xu Miaoqing kept her eyes on her nose, her nose and her heart, she would not ask too many questions about the affairs of the court, let alone questions about wars.

"Uncle, you are going to Liaodong." Little Zhu suddenly said at this moment, "Master Ying Guogong is the commander in chief, and you are the deputy commander in chief. We want to attack North Korea this time, so we have nothing to lose."

Little Zhu naturally wouldn't have such insights. Little Zhu heard this when Old Zhu and Little Zhu were discussing.He knew the reason for launching the war this time, and he also knew what kind of results this war should achieve.

Xu Huizu suddenly understood, no wonder the Supreme Emperor called him to Qianqing Palace to encourage him a few days ago!

"A dog's stomach can't hide two taels of oil!" Looking at his son, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "We and Grandpa Huang should have kicked you out at that time. You should remember this well. You are not allowed to go out and say it except in front of your own family."

Little Zhu was not afraid of Xiao Zhu, so he said with a smile, "Father, we are Zhu, not a dog. When you scolded us, you also scolded yourself!"

The others couldn't help laughing, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and each of them was holding back very hard.As for Zhu Yunying, his face turned red from choking, this bastard boy always has amazing words, sometimes it really makes Xiao Zhu unable to get off the stage.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunying let out a long sigh, "Now we finally understand the pain of our father and grandpa. We are precocious, and our minds are sounder than other children. I guess at that time, they will also feel uncomfortable seeing us."

Several members of the Xu family were not good at talking. There were actually a lot of discussions between the ruling and opposition parties about whether today's people were supernatural powers back then.

Those who know have heard of it, but may not have seen it.Those who don't know may think that the royal family may be creating momentum.But what everyone can be sure of is that today's son held great power when he was young, even more powerful than those vassal kings. He has a lot of military power at a young age, and he also has some power in the court.

Looking at Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Qin'er's birthday banquet can only be organized by the queen. Speaking of which, the queen is also Qin'er's aunt, and Qin'er is not yet an adult and has not been appointed as a prince. This little thing is here If you can't stand in the court, you can only be disciplined by the queen."

Xu Huizu showed a little smile and said, "Your Majesty's order."

"What about us?" Little Zhu was anxious, and suddenly said, "Our mother is going to have a baby at that time, my cousin's birthday can't be arranged by my mother!"

Little Zhu is still very caring, stubbornness is stubbornness, but I have heard a lot of things.For example, he knew that his mother would give birth around June if there were no accidents, and he would add a younger brother or sister to him, so he didn't have time to care about other people.

Zhu Yunying was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That can only be a grievance to Qin'er, others are not qualified to hold a birthday party for him. If the queen has no time, let's see if our uncle has time. If not, Qin'er You can't blame us either."

Xu Huizu said hastily, "Your Majesty, the dog's birthday is just a trivial matter, and His Majesty does not need to worry about it."

Xu Miaoqing also said at this time, "Your Majesty, after all, Qin'er is a foreign minister. Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, so there is no time to take care of his birthday. If the concubine has time, I can arrange the birthday banquet for him. If there is no time, the second brother is still in Beijing , can you wrong him?"

As for why Xu Qin's mother, Li Shi, didn't care about this matter, it was naturally because such a matter naturally needed a man to preside over it.After all, Xu Qin has a special status, he is the son of the Duke.

In fact, Zhu Yunying was just saying polite words. Although Xu Qin had a special status, there was really no need for Zhu Yunying to hold a birthday banquet for Xu Qin in person, otherwise it would be too much.

As for Zhu Yunying's care, it could be that Xu Qin is old enough, so he canonize Xu Qin as the son of the Duke, which is more practical than any birthday banquet.

If you don't believe me, take a look at Lao Zhu's old brother Tang He. Although Tang He has contributed a lot, he has a good relationship with Lao Zhu.It's just that Tanghe's duke title has not been passed on, whoever made Tanghe's descendants always leave a child and die early.

It was Zhu Yunying's concern that the title of Lord Xin Guo could not be accepted for a long time.In fact, there is no need to worry so much. Although Tang He's descendants died young, Tang He's blood has continued, that is, he has not survived until he inherited the title, and he will not lose it.

The imperial court is about to mobilize troops again, which is obviously an out-and-out major event, but not everyone is qualified to know these things in advance.

After the family banquet, Xu Miaoqing and her sister-in-law took the children.As for Zhu Yunying, she took the three Xu family brothers out for a walk. Little Zhu originally wanted to join in the fun, but after thinking about it, let's play with her cousins.

"In a few days, the report from North Korea will come." Zhu Yunying walked ahead with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "That careless son of Li Chenggui launched a riot again, killing his brother and imprisoning his father."

As for the situation in North Korea, many Wu Xun actually don't know much about it.But the three brothers of the Xu family naturally knew something, because the emperor had never recognized North Korea's vassal status, and coupled with the special nature of Pusanwei, everyone guessed that Ming would use troops against North Korea sooner or later.

Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "Speaking of which, the third brother is going to Tianjin Wei this time, so he must be prepared to cross the sea. If we send troops here, those people may attack Pusan ​​Wei."

Xu Huizu said at this time, "Returning to Your Majesty, the three guards of Busan have enough food and grass, and the city walls are strong, and the North Korean soldiers are not easy to conquer. If the imperial court gathers and wipes out the North Korean soldiers, the Busan Guards can also send troops to attack from two directions."

"That's the reason, Grandpa Huang also has this plan." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "So let the third brother sit in Tianjin Wei, and our food, grass, and soldiers will go to sea from there. Our uncle is also familiar with the other side, and the second uncle and The third uncle is also going to Busanwei."

The three brothers of the Xu family understood that, in fact, the three brothers of the Chang family can all have titles, especially Chang Sheng and Chang Sen, whose military exploits basically all came from Busan.It can even be said that the three guards in Busan were built by the two brothers of the Chang family. They once stationed there for several years.

Zhu Yunying was a little worried, and sighed, "In the past, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Korea, he lost a lot of soldiers. Taizong Li Shimin conquered the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo, and conquered Gaochang, Qiuci and Tuyuhun. Although they severely damaged Goguryeo, they just couldn't do their best. "

Xu Huizu said at this time, "North Korea seems to be a small country, and its strength is far superior. It's just that it is not inferior to Liaodong. Once the local area becomes cold and the grass dries up, it will be difficult for scholars and horses to stay for a long time. Once the food and grass are cut off, they can It's not bad for the whole army to return, but I'm afraid that the soldiers will be lost."

This can be regarded as a fact, the weather has become severe cold, and it is not an easy task to conquer North Korea.

Furthermore, don't look at the current civil strife in North Korea, including Li Chenggui's usurpation of the throne a few years ago.It's just that since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, North Korea has continued to fight large and small wars, and it still has some strength.

"That's why the emperor also said that the attack on North Korea will be done in one battle." Zhu Yunying said with a serious expression, "Once the spring begins and the weather turns warm, the imperial court will send troops immediately. Before winter comes, it would be best if North Korea can be conquered." . If not, prepare for the winter in advance.”

The territory that has been fought must be occupied, and it must not be taken back by North Korea after it grows large.

It would be best if we could take down the Korean Peninsula in one go. If not, we should prepare for the winter in advance, and the temporary confrontation with the court can be considered exhausting.

After all, it is one thing for the Ming Dynasty to have a strong army and a strong horse, but the most important thing is that there is sufficient food and grass.Moreover, in those places in Liaodong, the imperial court also had many soldiers who could adapt to the cold, and the descendants of Naha had always been stationed in Liaodong.

What's more, the imperial court promoted cotton in the early years. The preparation of these things in advance is not just to let the people of the Ming Dynasty have quilts and cotton clothes. These are actually to hope that the border troops of the Ming Dynasty can maintain their combat effectiveness in the cold winter.

The emperor said it so clearly, Xu Huizu naturally knew what to do, he was the pillar of the army that the emperor placed high hopes on.
