Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 10 “Zhu Tuo is a good emperor?

"The whole army was silent at that time."

"We all come from poor families and have no skills. Some of us have become bandits, but the king does not look down on us. Instead, he thinks our lives are more important."

It was then that we realized that we had met someone we would follow for life.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback.

It dawned on him.

Why has Lingnan developed so fast in three years?

Why do people on the street show awe when they mention their king?

Very heavy.

This Zhu Tuo has a somewhat naughty personality.

But in the eyes of the people of Lingnan, Zhu Tuo, as a prince, was already at the forefront at a young age and loved the people like a son. How could such a prince not be respected?

"You are a soldier, why did you give up the army?" Geng Bingwen asked puzzledly.

"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "My right arm was injured in the battle. The prince rewarded me with more than 20 kilograms of land and asked people to help me build a house. Now I am engaged in farming."

"But if one day, Your Majesty needs me, I will go through fire and water!"

With that, he left.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his leaving figure with mixed feelings in his heart. He never expected that Zhu Tuo, who seemed ordinary, could manage Lingnan so well.

It's really personal!

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Geng Bingwen said in confusion: "Your Majesty, should we return to Jingzhou?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Jingzhou will not return for the time being. Since Zhu Tuo governs Lingnan so well, we should also go to the palace."

Geng Bingwen said: "Do you want to report to His Highness the Eighteenth?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and shook his head, "He doesn't know me, so I won't tell him for now. When I understand the situation in Lingnan, I will tell the truth."

"As ordered." Geng Bingwen bowed and responded.

Because Zhu Tuo did not have any arrogance, the guards in the palace were not strict.

If you want to see Zhu Tuo, you only need to show an invitation and you can enter.

The palace is located in the center of the city. It is small in scale. There are more than ten palaces in total. Each palace has its own responsibilities, and each branch has its own responsibilities.

Zhu Yuanzhang handed the invitation to His Majesty the Emperor, and then began to look around the palace.

It’s not flashy or flashy, but the key is that it’s very practical. There is a dedicated boxing venue for people to practice, as well as stables.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang stepped into the main hall of the palace, he heard the sound of bells coming from inside.

The chime is a special kind of southern guqin. Its timbre is similar to the impact of metal, and it is usually used to sing the beat.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this.

Under normal circumstances, the music produced by bells is very pleasant and rhythmic.Many times, the player can't help singing loudly, clapping and singing.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated.

But now, the tone of the bell is low and low, with a touch of sadness.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused and closed his eyes in deep thought.

"Hey! Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take a deep breath and raised his head.

"A 16-year-old boy who lived alone in Lingnan for three years, without father and mother, without father and mother.

I have 100 friends, and I don’t even understand how my little girl survived. This little guy is so pitiful. "

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little guilty and whispered: "I really don't pay enough attention to him."

Probably when no one is around, he will secretly express his sadness.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of Zhu Tuo, who often studied alone in the Imperial College when he was young.

Other princes would sneak out, but Zhu Tuo was very serious and listened carefully.

Perhaps, since then, his ambitions have been great.

It's just that I was busy dealing with political affairs at the time, and Zhu Tuo was relatively withdrawn, so I didn't pay much attention to him.

But when he was 13 years old, he actively asked to go to Lingnan.At that time, he thought Zhu Tuo was a waste, but now it seems that Zhu Tuo is ambitious.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always looked down upon Zhu Tuo. Among his sons, Zhu Biao is a generous man, Zhu Di is a brave man, and Zhu Bai is a gentle man.

Only this Zhu Tuo never showed his talents and even kept a low profile. However, he single-handedly created countless miracles in this remote Lingnan.

Zhu Tuo is not a waste, I just didn’t know him before.

If we could get to know him earlier, send him to the capital, and train him properly, it might be a matter of life or death for Ming Dynasty.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang can clearly feel that his grandson Zhu

Yunzhi began to manage the affairs of the court, and other vassal kings also sent troops one after another.
Zhu Tuo, Zhu Yunzhi
Zhu Yuanzhang had mixed feelings in his heart.

At this time, Zhu Tuo was sitting on the desk in the hall, eating the bones in his hands and drinking wine.

"Haha, go on, go on!"

In front of him, there were several prisoners. One had a sad look on his face and was ringing the bell in his hand, while the others were dancing to the rhythm.

The person who rang the bell, Zhu Tuo knew him, was Tian Maoan from Sizhou, and the others were all captured bandit leaders.

Seeing Tian Maoan's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Zhu Tuo slapped the table: "Make me happy!"

Tian Maoan laughed quickly and struck the bell hard.

The remaining leaders were dancing and dancing without any rest.

Zhu Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head, enjoying their music while tasting the kebabs in front of him. I have to say that their music is really delicious.

After Zhu Tuo finished eating, he said: "Tian Maoan, what do you mean? After all, he is a respectable person. Why are you trying to rob me of Lingnan? Tell me your opinion. Do you feel regretful?"

Tian Maoan curled his lips. Sizhou toast began in the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 100 years.

In the past, chieftains from Sizhou would go to Lingnan to rob.

Lingnan, during the Ming Dynasty, did not have much rule.

But now, the situation has changed drastically. Before Lingnan was plundered, his territory was destroyed.

"Ah."

"Your Majesty, I am a bandit leader, how can you
Zhu Tuo slapped the table and yelled: "Who do you think you are, daring to rob my Lingnan people? As for those who have friendship with me, Lingnan, I am also willing to form an alliance with them. However, for people like you who bully the people, If you don’t give me Lingnan face, if I don’t kill you, it will be an act of mercy outside the law!”

Tian Mao'an was taken aback, and responded repeatedly: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Since the invasion of Ming Dynasty, I have been regretting it all the time. I really shouldn't offend Da Mingwei."
Zhu Tuo sneered and said: "I want to ask you, are you going to return to Sizhou to be your leader, or are you going to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"

When Tian Maoan heard this, his dead heart suddenly came to life. Could it come back? He said carefully: "Your Majesty, what if I return to Sizhou?"

Zhu Tuo said nonchalantly: "Haha, you are so stubborn, and you still want to go against our Ming Dynasty? My Ming Dynasty will never be merciful to any opponent. Next time we fight Sizhou, you and your family will be there. For the king of hell.”
