Chapter 115 Zhu Yuanzhang’s worries?

With the news of the victory in Yunnan, and the news of the great victory being delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang, there was no need to continue the court meeting.

After all, the meeting of the imperial court in the past few days was to discuss how to conquer Yunnan and Silunfa. But now, Silunfa was actually destroyed by Zhu Zhen?

The problem is that there are only 6 people in Zhu Chu's garrison, plus Mu Ying's 6 people, the total Ming army guarding Yunnan is only 12.

Mu Ying also recorded that Zhu Zhen dared to leave the city and attack the enemy camp with only 5 people. How did he do it?And is he so fierce?

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely curious. After the court meeting ended, he quickly walked to the back hall with Mu Ying's memorial to see what was going on.

Xu Da and Zhu Biao thought for a while and followed.

Of course anyone else would not dare, but when Zhu Yuanzhang saw them, he did not treat them as outsiders.

Now that Empress Ma is gone, the only people who can really be regarded as close to Zhu Yuanzhang are the prince and Xu Da.

Others and even Zhu Yuanzhang's own son stepped back.

"Look, look, this brat really dares to send troops," Zhu Yuanzhang shook the memorial in his hand and shouted brat, but his pride and affection were beyond words.

Now is not the time to scold Zhu Yu for being a rebellious son. That is the tiger in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, and he only needs to say, "When you have a son, you should be like Zhu Yu."

Of course, what people originally said was "having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", and it was someone else who praised Sun Zhongmou as Sun Quan.

If Zhu Yuanzhang himself said that he should be like Zhu Yu when he gave birth to a son, that would be too self-proclaimed, and you father and son would be a bit shameless.

Xu Da and Zhu Biao looked at each other, with shock and joy flashing in their eyes.

Zhu Biao also stepped forward and said: "Father, my eighteenth brother is unparalleled in bravery. And this contribution is as great as the sky."

Zhu Biao is really not exaggerating.

The reason is that although since the end of the Battle of Yuerhai, it seems that the Ming Dynasty has eliminated Beiyuanting.

But the problem is that the tribal relations on the grassland are very complicated. The Beiyuanting was eliminated, but what followed was the split into two tribes, the Tatar and Oara tribes.

Therefore, the northern grasslands remained the main threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Even until this year, the main forces of Lan Yu and Fu Youde were still defending the north.

No wonder Mu Ying mentioned that Silunfa took advantage of Ming Dynasty's unpreparedness to cause trouble, which was true.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang not rush to send troops when Silunfa occupied Jingdong for so long?Even Mu Ying had to avoid the edge for a while.

It is because most of the Ming Dynasty's military deployments are in the north, and it is only this year that preparations will be made to eliminate Silunfa with a nationwide effort.

As a result, before the imperial court's deployment was completed and the whole country was not needed, Zhu Zhen actually wiped out Silunfa with only the Ming army in Yunnan.

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy and shouted "I have a tiger's cub" in front of all the civil and military officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He even called Zhu Biao over, gave him the memorial, and asked him to read it to him.

Only Xu Da was still wondering: "Isn't His Highness King Min only 12 years old?"

Think about what he and Zhu Yuanzhang were doing when they were 12 years old?I'm afraid you're still herding cows and playing with mud, right?
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Xu Da angrily, are you talking about age now?

But Zhu Yuanzhang did mutter: "Isn't that brat always pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?" What does that mean?
Zhu Biao and Xu Da were both stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Even we haven't paid attention to this eighteenth-year-old. I'm afraid he is deliberately keeping a low profile and pretending to be ordinary. Then at this year's king ceremony, he asked for the fiefdom to be granted early in front of all the civil and military officials. He avoided our side. Now that he has become the Yunnan vassal king, he can dominate and do whatever he wants."

"Father, are you thinking too much?" Zhu Biao shook his head dumbfounded. At least he felt that the eighteenth brother was only 12 years old. How much thought could a child have? How could he have such a big city.

But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang really got everything right.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply at his prince and said, "Silly son, you have to be careful about your younger brothers."

In fact, just this year, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to go out on inspections on his behalf. He also called Zhu Chong into the capital on the grounds that he had made too many mistakes, and asked Zhu Biao to inspect Zhu Chong's areas.

As long as Zhu Biao wears small shoes for this younger brother, Zhu Chong will not be able to return to his territory.

In the end, it was Zhu Biao who sought reconciliation and allowed Zhu Ping to return to the vassal territory.

In fact, sometimes, Zhu Biao is a little too kind.

Even the second, third, and fourth brothers would inevitably not covet that position.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as he is alive, Zhu Biao's status will never be shaken.

But what happened after Zhu Yuanzhang died?

The Zhu family vassal kings in the world were all canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang. Didn't he himself know that it was possible for those vassal kings to support their own troops?

For example, King Zhu Di of Yan was fine when he was alive, but before his death, it was said that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to secretly tell Zhu Di to come to Beijing.

As a result, Zhu Di did not dare to enter the city until Zhu Yuanzhang's death.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang had personally set a rule that even if he, the emperor, died, the vassal princes were not allowed to come back to worship him, and could only worship him in a distant place.

If Zhu Di went to Beijing for the funeral, then there would be no problem whether the new emperor, Zhu Yunwen, wanted to imprison Zhu Di, or he was ruthless and ruthless to abolish or even kill Zhu Di.

So Lao Zhu's thoughts are really deep, deep, and dark.

Just like now, Zhu Yuanzhang's face no longer looked happy as before. Instead, he looked at the memorial in Zhu Biao's hand and sighed secretly.

However, Zhu Biao has not yet had those awakenings. Every time he thinks about the strategies and tactics used by Zhu Zhen, which even Mu Ying praised and marveled at, especially the fire-burning Si Xingfa, which was the strategy of Silun Fa's eldest son. When I saw it, I couldn’t help but marvel.

"The empty camp plan and the burning company camp? Fortunately, he can think of it. It depends on the native people's short-sightedness to lure the enemy in. Otherwise, if it were an experienced general, he would see the gates of the empty camp open and send them at will. When a few spies came in and took a look, the secret was revealed." Zhu Yuanzhang pouted, suddenly not so happy, and instead pointed out Zhu Ming's shortcomings.

What he said was correct. The reason why Zhu Chun's plan was successful that night was because of his recklessness and blind carelessness. Even Zhu Chun himself admitted that he was bullying the natives for not knowing the strategy.

But Xu Da asked strangely: "Your Majesty, isn't this your tiger son?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious and reprimanded: "With Mu Ying following me, I think most of the credit and strategies here are Mu Ying's. Just like Zhu Di."

It turns out that Zhu Di fought on the grassland in the 23rd year of Hongwu, which was last year. At that time, Fu Youde was the commander-in-chief, but he was only nominally commanded by the vassal king Zhu Di.

That battle was also a great victory. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang also said, "The one who clears the desert is King Yan," which made Zhu Di famous.

This time, after Zhu Yuanzhang's propaganda, it is conceivable that no one in the world will know that Zhu Yuanzhang has the Eighteenth King Zhu Cun.
