Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 112
Without Mu Ying's company, it's free to be married to Zhuangzi alone, but it's also a little more lonely.Thinking that Zhu Su was worried about his future safety, Mu Ying smiled and said, "Brother Su, don't worry."

"I'm going to conquer Yunnan, so there will naturally be someone who will replace me and come to Zhuangzi to help you train soldiers."

"Your foster father has always attached great importance to safety. The person who will replace me is far inferior to me. You don't have to worry."

"Better than you?" Zhu Su didn't believe it, "Who is it?"

"When the time comes, you'll know." Mu Ying actually made a fool of herself.

In the 14th year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty began to conquer Yunnan, but now it is nine years ahead of schedule.Before the original history regained Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty also conquered Tubo and Xifan, and had several small-scale northern expeditions in northern Xinjiang.After thoroughly stabilizing the surrounding unstable factors, Daming then freed up his hands to drive out the remaining Northern Yuan forces in Yunnan.Now Lao Zhu has ignored the foreign enemies and directly started planning to conquer Yunnan, which shows that his plan at this time is different from that of Zhu Yuanzhang at the same time in history.

If Zhu Su is just a butterfly flapping its wings, then Lao Zhu is a real dragon who can call wind and rain.Butterflies can still cause the butterfly effect and change the known history beyond recognition, let alone real dragons?

Zhu Su knew that his foresight as a traveler's advantage had gradually disappeared.The protagonist of this era will not be him, but will still be the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who has power over the world.He is wiser and stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang in history.

The emperor's heart is like the sea, Zhu Su can't see what he is thinking.I can only believe that he is driving the giant ship of Ming Dynasty to a more correct direction.

A few days later, Mu Ying left without a sound. Ying Tiancheng lost Mu Ying, and nothing seemed to have changed.The Qinhuai River is still singing "Linjiang Immortal", and from time to time someone will carry a jug of turbid wine and invite one or two friends to fish on the river.Regardless of whether the fish is caught or not, it finally matches the artistic conception of this poem.Everything was peaceful as usual, and no one even knew that Daming was dispatching troops to Yunnan.

The war has not yet begun, but it has already begun.When the people of Yingtian realized that the war was about to start, it must have been a fatal blow like a thunderbolt.

"Living alone outside the city, you need to pay attention to the cold and warm weather. Remember to visit the palace often." At the gate of the palace, Empress Ma instructed Zhu Su earnestly.The Zhu family is not hypocritical, only Empress Ma saw them off, and no one else saw them off. It was only two steps out of the city, so it was unnecessary.Lao Zhu was busy with court affairs, and the brothers were studying in Da Ben Tang today.

Zhu Su nodded with a smile: "Don't worry. I remember everything!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this old servant will take good care of His Highness, and will not let His Highness get cold." Eunuch Xiang Deng also said beside him.

Empress Ma nodded, she is not an ordinary woman, she knows the truth that being a child is like killing a child.Just say what you want, and you won't cry. "Your father told me earlier that we will often go to that village. He has high hopes for you. You can go there and don't be lazy."

"If he catches you, I won't be able to stop you!"

"I see." Zhu Su responded with a guilty conscience.He really thought that without Lao Zhu around, he could wander around in Zhuangzi casually.

Empress Ma patted Zhu Su's face.She knew that Zhu Su wanted to promote a knowledge that he had never had before, and Lao Zhu also wanted to try to let him use the knowledge of later generations to establish a sect and divide the pressure from literati in the court in the future.But her youngest son has always been lazy, and she is really not sure that Zhu Su can study knowledge obediently.

"Brother Ying went to Yunnan and couldn't take care of you, so your father ordered you to find a reliable companion." Empress Ma said. "Mother has already told you in advance, you must listen to him and study hard. Don't spend three days fishing and two days drying the net."

"Huh? So who is going to Zhuangzi with me?" Zhu Su was puzzled.Mu Ying said that someone would go to Zhuangzi with her for him, but Zhu Su didn't know who it was.

Empress Ma waved towards the front, and Zhu Su noticed that there were still a few people standing there.The one at the back was Zhu Shouqian with a face of reluctance, the person in the front had an arrow scar that had just happened not long ago, and a handsome young man who was following behind was constantly winking at him.

It is Li Wenzhong and Li Jinglong father and son.

"Ah! Brother Bao'er went to Zhuangzi with me?" Zhu Su was extremely surprised.Li Wenzhong is now almost one of the top five victorious generals in Ming Dynasty, and his military achievements are far better than Mu Ying's today. Let him train his troops and guard his home?

"Brother Su, why should you be so surprised!" Li Wenzhong laughed. "Brother Ying is your righteous brother, and I am also your righteous brother. Why, if he can go, I can't?"

Li Wenzhong once also recognized Zhu Yuanzhang as his adoptive father, which is why he said this.Zhu Su hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "How dare I despise you, Brother Bao'er. It's just that you have outstanding military achievements and hold an important position, so how dare I bother you!"

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. Although there is no major punishment for the failure of the Northern Expedition, we generals who went to the expedition were ordered to relinquish their military power and stay at home for a while. Even Xu Shuai has nothing to do in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion now. What's the matter if you stay in the mansion every day and come out to help you practice Wang Wei?" Li Wenzhong's tone was friendly and heroic, in terms of blood relationship, he and Zhu's family were closer than Mu Ying, and now they don't meet in front of outsiders, but they are only called relatives.

"Besides, Jiujiang is also boring at home, idle around all day long. You are about the same age as the two, so it's a good time for him to learn something practical from you!"

As Li Wenzhong said, Li Jinglong nodded hurriedly from the side: "Uncle, I have long wanted to joke with you about the past and the present. Now your fame is well known on the Qinhuai River, and my nephew is also honored!" He was a few years older than Zhu Su, but he called him very affectionately, without embarrassment at all.

Empress Ma and Li Wenzhong also just watched from the sidelines, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhu Su urged Empress Ma to go back to the palace, and followed Li Wenzhong to leave.She is now Lao Zhu's key protection, not to mention that Zhibu was almost snatched by Lao Zhu even half of the shoe soles, because she was afraid that she would be too busy.Zhu Su didn't dare to let her stand under the sun for too long, and later, Lao Zhu felt distressed and wanted to settle the score.

After getting into the carriage that had already been prepared, a few Jin Yiwei and Li Wenzhong headed out of the west city with their personal guards.Only now did Zhu Su have the opportunity to take a closer look at the soldiers of Cao Guogong's mansion. These soldiers did not have the uniform tall and muscular body like Li Jinglong's soldiers before, nor did they have the feeling of being ostentatious.It's just that all of them are carrying knives, bowing their waists, their limbs are tense, and their searching eyes seem to be electrified.Being protected by them, Zhu Su felt extremely at ease.

"Look, this is the elite soldier of all battles! What are the things you trained before!" In the carriage, Zhu Su poked Li Jinglong's arm.
