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

Chapter 9 Is Zhutuo a good king?

Zhu Tuo pondered and said: "Then I will change the rules. Others will hunt once every three years."

Lu Qing was a little helpless, and comforted him: "When your Majesty first came to Lingnan, he made great achievements. Now that everyone in Lingnan is rich, can you still enjoy yourself?"

"Lu Qing, can't you adapt to the situation?" Zhu Tuo scolded: "I am bored to death in the capital all day long. If I become the vassal king, won't my life be in vain?"

"Your Majesty, all princes must not mess around." Lu Qing pointed to the stack of documents and said, "Your Majesty, these are official documents from Lingnan."

Although there are not many people in Lingnan, it is very large, covering Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and Yunnan.

Because Zhu Tuo defeated many bandits, the residents in these areas were controlled by Lingnan.

As a result, there are more and more people in Lingnan, and business is getting better and better.

"This is an agricultural matter. There are many things to be done this autumn, such as promoting new crops. This is arranged for the indigenous residents. I hope Your Majesty will decide to repair the city wall.
Zhu Tuo stroked his cheek, looked at the memorial and said: "Give those memorials to Mr. Chang Shi."

Lu Qing said: "Chang Shi sent me some information."

"Okay, I'll bring them back."

Lu Qing said sternly: "Your Majesty, Chang Shi asked you to make a decision, but he has already revised some minor changes."

Zhu Tuo waved his hand and handed all the power in his hand to him: "It's okay, I will never doubt anyone, nor will I doubt anyone. I leave this kind of matter to you, and you will tell me after you have dealt with it. .”

Lu Qing looked depressed.

The censor's name is Zhang Wei, who is over sixty years old and well-read. He devoted himself to the academy in his early years and lived in seclusion in the mountains in his later years.

Because of his character and reputation, he is a famous figure throughout Lingnan.

After Zhu Tuo found out about this, Zhu Tuo's eyes lit up and he did everything possible to invite him out and promised a bright future.

Zhang Wei didn't care at first. He was old and didn't want to work too hard.

Zhang Wei even locked Zhu Tuo in his room.

Therefore, Zhu Tuo not only thought twice before acting, but also shouted outside the door.

"Nowadays, Lingnan is full of hungry and cold people. You have the ability to govern the country. Instead of making achievements or making a name for yourself, you stay here and become a small practitioner!"

"Fart, I really don't know which great scholar put all the people in the world to death for the sake of enjoyment? Did your ancestor Confucius shrink back in that troubled world and refused to show up?"

"I think you are just an empty frame and don't have any good ideas."

Changshi Zhang Wei blushed and left angrily.

Then, he began a painful life.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is so old. Even if you want to protect him, you can't let him live alone. What should you do if he suddenly dies suddenly?"

Zhu Tuo fell into deep thought as he listened to his sincere words.

"Give me the fold!"

Zhu Tuo stretched his body, yawned, corrected a bunch of folds again, and looked at Lu Qing again: "How about we call it a day?"

Lu Qing said without changing his expression: "Your Majesty, you have only read five books, and there are more than 200 books left."

Hearing this, Zhu Tuo's expression straightened and he said in a deep voice: "It's not that I don't want to, but I have something important to do. I'm going to meet the captured chieftain leaders and convince them to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, you don't want to see it, right?" Lu Qing hesitated.

"Nonsense!" Zhu Tuoyi said righteously.The matter can be treated leniently. The toasts in the south are a big trouble. Go and catch the toasts. "

Lu Qing responded: "Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that what he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears were completely different.

He saw Zhu Tuo's arrogance, lack of law, and wanton behavior.

But people in Lingnan said that Zhu Tuo had deep feelings for the people and practiced it personally. He would rather suffer himself than let the people suffer.

The appearance of these two people is really unimaginable.

When he mentioned Zhu Tuo, he kept talking: "The king not only provides food and clothing for the people, but also leads his soldiers to the Lingnan area to eliminate bandits."

“Today in Lingnan, the folk customs are desolate, and the folk customs are desolate.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "But I heard that he promised a good position."

"This is just a rumor." The man looked impressed. Zhu Tuo was so tall in his mind.

He sighed and said: "These bandits and bandits are just surviving, otherwise, how could they become bandits? The king personally reclaimed the land and distributed the land to these bandits and bandits, without holding them accountable for their previous mistakes. So everyone went down and became common people.”

"What to do about the local tycoon in the south?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "I heard that the Lingnan area was once harassed by people from some places, but the government did not have the power to exterminate those thieves. With the power of Lingnan, it should be difficult to subdue them. right."

"Are you right?" In the past, when those bandits came to attack, they were like a group of moths rushing to a flame, plundering all the food, women, cattle and sheep.In the Lingnan area, wailing broke out, and countless people hanged themselves to death. "

"The emperor was only fourteen at that time? "I was lucky enough to join the army and fight alongside the king. "

"The 14-year-old king didn't even have the strength to swing a long sword. However, the army you led bravely charged into the 20-strong army."

“At that time, all the soldiers were frightened, and they rushed forward howling as if they had taken stimulants.

Our 5000 people, all of whom were new for more than three months, defeated a group of 22 bandits. "

"In this battle, the Lingnan side had the upper hand. From then on, the Lingnan soldiers suppressed the bandits, and there were no more bandit invasions."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Geng Bingwen did not expect Zhu Tuo to be so bold.

For a moment, both of them were speechless.

Both of them are experienced in many battles, and they know that fighting is no small matter. This is a bloody battle, and if you are not careful, your head may be dislocated.

Therefore, most commanders will sit back and ensure that nothing goes wrong.

But no one would have expected that this 14-year-old commander would not be afraid of the horrors of this war and would rush in head first.

How bold is this?
Zhu Tuo was alone, alone, and faced enemies from both sides of Lingnan. How much effort did he spend to rule Lingnan?

Zhu Yuanzhang’s son!
It didn't ruin his reputation!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was proud of it!
However, as a father, he also understood that he, a father, dared to put himself in danger. How could he face the imperial court?
"You are right." The general smiled and said: "After this battle, everyone said that you should stay in the rear and we must not let you take this risk."

"But do you think the king will say anything?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How do you say it?"

"At that time, the sun shone on the king's shoulders and illuminated his face golden. He was not tall, but his body was the largest.

"He braved the biting wind and snow and looked at us with a determined look."

"The king said loudly: "As a prince from Lingnan, I lead you to battle, and I am responsible for protecting you.Since you want to go, let’s go first. "
