Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 96 Gold Letter Talisman
The next morning, Zhu Zhanhe got up early.

Now Ying Tian Mansion has become a prison for their father and son, the sooner they escape, the sooner they will be relieved.

Although it was already spring, the dawn was still relatively late, but around the time of Chen, Hanwang's family was ready to leave.

"Let's go, mother, I'm driving today, you can see the scenery." Zhu Zhanhe jumped on the carriage first, and then pulled his mother into the carriage.

"Okay, today mother will just watch the scenery with He'er."

"You two..." Zhu Gaoxu smiled when he saw this.

"Let's go, let's go!" Zhu Zhanhe lightly waved his horsewhip, and the entire convoy slowly started to move.

In fact, it’s March, and I’m still walking south from Nanjing. The scenery along the road is getting better and better, because Nanjing is already a relatively warm place, let alone going south.

In March of Yangchun, warblers fly and grass grows.

During the Yongle period before the Little Ice Age, these two words were somewhat inappropriate to use, but they were still suitable for the occasion.

"Mother, what's the matter, are you still sick?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the blue color that had already appeared on the side of the road, and looked at his mother with a smile.

"Huh?" Don't say it, I still don't feel it. After hearing what her son said, Princess Han really felt it.

"It seems that I really don't feel anything."

"That's pretty good." Zhu Gaoxu who was sitting in the back compartment also said when he heard the words.

"Zhanhe, don't worry, Yunnan is there anyway, so I can't escape."

"Your child will know." Zhu Zhanhe said while tugging at the reins.

Now, the father and son have really let go of many unnecessary thoughts, and they are heading towards Yunnan with peace of mind.

However, this kind of quietness does not necessarily mean forever.

clang~
"Father? What's the matter?"

Zhu Zhanhe, who was chatting and laughing with his mother, heard the sound of something being knocked down from the carriage behind him, so he couldn't help asking.

"Someone is here." Zhu Gaoxu poked his head out, his face full of seriousness.

"It's cavalry!"

"Cavalry?" Zhu Zhanhe was taken aback when he heard that.

This is within the territory of Daming, and they haven't even left the range of Yingtian Mansion, cavalry?It seems that there are no cavalry in Yingtian Mansion, right?

No, there are also cavalry in Yingtian Mansion, and it's just around the palace, it's...

Rumble, boom.

A rush of horseshoes sounded, and Zhu Zhanhe, who had been on the battlefield, immediately stood up on hearing this sound, and his whole body became nervous.

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

The speed of the cavalry is very fast, even though Zhu Zhanhe and the others walked for a whole day yesterday, they didn't actually go very far. With the speed of the cavalry, they could catch up with them in half a day.

Soon, the cavalry that made both Zhu Gaoxu and his son nervous came in front of them, but they were stunned.

Because it was an acquaintance who came.

"Xu Heng sees His Royal Highness King Han! Sees His Royal Highness Shizi!"

Before the horse stopped, Xu Heng got off the horse beautifully, and knelt down in front of Zhu Gaoxu and his son.

"Xu Heng? Why are you here?" Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised.

Xu Heng is the Xing'an Bo of Daming, but his title was not earned by himself, but inherited from his grandfather, Xu Xiang, the first Xing'an Bo of Daming.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he followed Chen Youliang, and later surrendered to the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiangzhou. He accumulated meritorious service and went to Yanshan to guard the deputy Qianhu. The head of the 14 people who are not the head of Jingnan heroes).

In the second year of Yongle, Xu Xiang died of illness, and his grandson Xu Heng inherited the title of Earl of Xing'an.

If you have a good memory, you will still remember that this Xu Heng once appeared in the Han Palace.

That's right, he is a member of the Hanwang Party.

"Your Highness." Xu Heng raised his head, took a small box from the hand of the person next to him, and presented it with both hands.

"At His Majesty's order, come to deliver something to His Highness."

Looking at the box in Xu Heng's hand, Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at his son.

Zhu Zhanhe was also a little strange, obviously his family had already set off, why did the old man send someone to deliver things, and he had to let Xu Heng, the former Hanwang Party, deliver them?
Could it be that they came to deliver good things?
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, then jumped off the carriage and took the box from Xu Heng's hand.

"father……"

Opening the box, Zhu Zhanhe turned around stiffly with a dull expression, looking at his father.

In the small box, two golden things were lying quietly inside.

"This..." Zhu Gaoxu was also stunned, looking at Xu Heng with some uncertainty.

"It's for me?"

"Exactly!" Xu Heng lowered his head with a firm tone.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son, because he was a little undecided.

This thing is so special that almost everyone, including Zhu Gaochi, doesn't have it.

Zhu Zhanhe gently took the two pieces out of the box, his hands trembling slightly, but he still put the two pieces together smoothly.

click.

With a crisp sound, a sign appeared in front of everyone. On the front was the word "Xinfu" written in seal and regular script, on the back was written in seal script "Emperor's Imperial Decree", and on the left below was the seal script "He Dang Er Fa"; .

This thing has a name: Letter Talisman.

This is a very special thing. If the time is pushed back tens of hundreds of years, this thing has another name: soldier talisman.

That's right, it was the soldier talisman that mobilized the army, but what Zhu Zhanhe was holding in front of him was not just that soldier talisman.

This has to start with the special features of the Ming Dynasty.

Soldiers, also called tiger charms, are used to mobilize troops. The appearance of soldier charms in different dynasties is not the same, such as the Qin Yangling tiger charms, such as the bronze gilt tiger charms of the Han Dynasty, such as the fish charms and turtle charms of the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty. Ox Talisman, Yuan Dynasty Tiger Card and so on.

In the Ming Dynasty, the military talisman also changed. When Emperor Taizu Gao established the country, he re-adopted the tiger-shaped military talisman. Later, there were tokens, etc., but later with the power of the Ming Dynasty, another thing came into being.

The gold letter talisman is the one that Zhu Zhanhe is holding in his hand now.

Like ordinary Tiger Talismans, Gold Medal Talismans are also composed of two parts, and the combination of the two parts can mobilize troops.

Different from the general Tiger Talisman, the Gold Medal Letter Talisman cannot actually be called a Tiger Talisman most of the time, because it serves another role more often.

The certificate of the tea-horse trade.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "The so-called gold medal letter is a copper medal-shaped survey and combination, which is specially used as a comparison certificate for the tea-horse trade between the Ming Dynasty and ethnic minorities, and plays the role of deception. The next gold medal To descend to the various tribes, he was appointed to the Tibetan government as a deed, and the officials were dispatched at the age of three to meet the agreement."

Now, both upper and lower gold medals are there, which means that the old man has given the right to trade tea and horses to the Hanwang family.

Of course, only in Yunnan.
