Chapter 191 Xu Miaojin’s Escape from Marriage

Yingtian, the Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei, is also the Xu Mansion.

"Dad," Xu Huizu came to Xu Da in the lobby.

Although Xu Huizu was the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, he lowered his head in front of Xu Da and did not dare to look up at his father.

Xu Da glared at Xu Huizu and scolded: "The stinky girl hasn't been found yet?"

"When I woke up early in the morning, Miaojin disappeared. At that time, my son thought that the younger sister had gone to practice martial arts, so he didn't expect to disappear directly," Xu Huizu said sarcastically.

Xu Da continued to glare at him: "What do you mean dead? It's like your little sister is dead. You too, why did you tell her about His Majesty's summoning the King of Dian to Beijing? Don't you know that girl's temper? Are you very stubborn and opposed to this marriage?"

Xu Huizu could only smile bitterly.

This is also his own fault.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang sent Jin Yiwei to summon Zhu Zhen to the capital this time. Xu Da didn't know it at first, but he was told when he occasionally talked to Zhu Yuanzhang in the past few days.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and said that after Zhu Zhen entered the capital, he must let Xu Daye take a good look at whether this boy is really talented as a general.

After returning home, Xu Da told his eldest son that he might still want to mess up the relationship.

As a result, last night Xu Huizu didn't pay attention, so Xu Miaojin heard a few words, and was forced to tell the truth under the pressure of her sister.

Although Xu Miaojin is the youngest daughter of the Xu family, she is the apple of Xu Da's eye, and she loves her much more than the other siblings.

Xu Miaojin is not only as beautiful as a flower, but she is only 16 years old this year, and she is already extremely beautiful. In time, she will become a peerless beauty who will captivate the country.

Moreover, Xu Miaojin was extremely intelligent. Not only was she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song, but her martial arts skills were also better than those of her elder brothers.

Xu Huizu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the gun shadows gesticulating on his body last night.

How could he not tell the truth when facing such a little witch?

As a result, by this morning, no one was there.

Good guy, I don’t know if she ran away during the night or early in the morning.

Anyway, it was only when Xu Da went down to ask questions that he found out that the person was missing.

Xu Da got angry because of this anxiety.

He loved this younger daughter the most, so he allowed Xu Miaojin to do whatever he wanted. The eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the third daughter were all docile and virtuous, but she was the only one who danced with swords and sticks all day long.

It's fine now. When I heard that Zhu Zhen might really be recalled to the capital, even the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Jiang Yu, was sent out, he was immediately scared away.

Xu Daxin said, this silly girl ran away on her own, and she had never traveled far before. Did she bring enough expenses? Would she be hungry? What if she met a bad guy again, or was even caught and tortured on the mountain? Mrs. Zhai, you don’t have anywhere to cry.

Xu Da couldn't help but complain about Zhu Yuanzhang. He was so good, why did he want to marry him again?
I am just such a precious girl, and the three people in front of me have been taken care of by your family. Isn’t that enough?

Is this wrapping up all the cabbages in my vegetable garden?

Xu Da was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.

As for Xu Miaojin.

In fact, she waited until the city gate opened in the morning before blending in with the crowd and leaving the outer area of ​​the city.

"You really want to sell me? I won't marry. What kind of king of Dian? He's just a second-generation ancestor. It's not like I've never seen a dandy before," Xu Miaojin curled her lips with disdain on her face.

Not to mention that King Jin of Qin already had a bad reputation, but King Naluhuang was also promiscuous, and even her eldest brother-in-law, King Zhu Di of Yan, also followed in the military exploits, didn't he?
Therefore, although Xu Miaojin had also heard that Yunnan had been in chaos in the past two years, with constant fighting, Zhu Chu had reported good news more than once.

But she didn't believe a word of it.

"I want to see for myself what kind of thing you are," Xu Miaojin narrowed her eyes slightly, and after figuring out the direction, she ran all the way to the southwest.

And Xu Miaojin also had his own cleverness after running out.

Instead of dressing up as a daughter, she styled her hair like a scholar and wore a robe to hide her graceful figure.

Not only that, Xu Miaojin even used dust to make the skin on her face and hands very dirty, as if she were a refugee.

As a result, when walking on the street, everyone avoided her with disgust. Even outside the city, no one cared about her being so poor.

Xu Miaojin touched the lining with her hand. There was a small purse hidden there, which contained almost 100 taels of scattered silver.

Because she had to run away and had to dress up as a woman, she didn't wear any of the gold, silver or jewelry in the boudoir, and couldn't wear it.

This was all the pocket money she collected from her father, brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, she was used to being extravagant in the past, so this was all she had in a hurry.

"But that's enough," Xu Miaojin muttered confidently.

She is not a delicate and weak woman. She also has a dagger hidden on one side of her waist for self-defense.

Anyone who dares to look down on her and bully her will suffer a big loss.

Even if he doesn't have a spear in hand, with just a dagger, it's easy for more than a dozen men to get close to him.

So Xu Miaojin is very confident.

In addition to practicing martial arts all year round, as long as I can buy dry food and drink along the way, I can make it to Yunnan.

That's right, Xu Miaojin was heading towards Yunnan. She wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of guy he was trying to give her.

"It's best to make him understand the truth and take the initiative to explain the situation to His Majesty. Don't get engaged to me, otherwise," Xu Miaojin narrowed her eyes slightly and put one hand on the dagger at her waist.

Otherwise, don't blame your aunt for fighting with you. I'll cut off your harmful thing to see if you still dare to take advantage of your aunt.

At worst, I will find a place to become a nun and become a monk.

Anyway, dad doesn’t dare to disobey His Majesty’s will.

Xu Miaojin's eyes were a little red.

She knew that her father loved her, and her brothers and sisters also protected and pampered her.

It's not that she has to be coquettish and willful.

But what can she do? She just doesn't want to get married, and it's not a heinous crime. Isn't this also okay?
If the imperial court allows a female general to lead troops in battle, then she would rather die on the battlefield to protect her family and country.

Unfortunately, throughout the official history of the Ming Dynasty, there are very few female generals who have been recorded. The most famous ones are probably Qin Liangyu and Shen Yunying, right?

And those were all figures from the middle or late Ming Dynasty.

It is still the Hongwu period, the early Ming Dynasty.

All in all, Xu Miaojin embarked on a thousand-mile journey to find her husband alone.

But her search for a husband was unusual, and she might have gone to help Zhu Chu undergo castration surgery.

The foreshadowing will be buried here for the time being.

At the same time, Yunnan.

Zhu Zhen didn't know that such an episode was happening.

At this time, he had left Heqing County and was leading a hundred thousand Ming troops and escorting eighty thousand native captives to Beisheng Prefecture near Heqing County.

When the army arrived at the border of Beisheng Prefecture, it had already alarmed the local people.

The people felt deeply that something was wrong, but they did not dare to do anything. They just gathered silently and blocked the advance of the army outside the city.

The young men were forcibly recruited from the local people, and their families are here.

But the two parties have obviously met, but they can't get together.

Zhu Zhen rode a tall horse, surrounded by a group of commanders, and came to the people.

Then Zhu Chu took out a trumpet, which frightened Jiang Wei and Qu Neng into a daze, and they couldn't help but look behind Zhu Chu.

Wang Fu nodded secretly, he understood, he understood.

Zhu Ming glanced at the two of them sideways, and he couldn't change it if he looked at you again, and where were you looking?Where can I hide this thing?

Depend on.

"Hey, hey, can you understand Chinese?" Zhu Xi tried his voice and then asked.

The people looked at each other in disbelief.

"Your Highness, they understand," Mu Qiu came to Zhu Chu again and said that this place was originally under the control of Dali Prefecture, but that was a long time ago, and later it was changed to Lijiang Prefecture, and then it was again under the jurisdiction of Dali Prefecture during the Hongwu period. Belongs to Heqing County.

Although it is difficult to study the ethnic origin of the Duan family in Dali, with such a historical legacy, these people still know some Chinese, but they can only speak but not write, and they are not literate.

Zhu Ming nodded and started shouting directly through the loudspeaker without asking Mu Qiu to help translate.Zhu Ming's speech was quite simple. He just explained clearly the cause and effect of this rebellion.

"The Gao family, the Zhang family, and the Zi family have all perished. These 5 strong men have also been captured. Another [-] people died in the war, and I have had them collected and buried. "

"So, what else do you want?"

Zhu Zhen asked loudly.

Except for the subordinates who had followed Zhu Chu for a long time, everyone, including Qu Neng and his [-] troops, were in a daze.

Why does Your Highness ask this question?
Then they understood why Zhu Zhen asked this.

Because Zhu Ming went on to say: "Listen to all of you, you can continue to resist stubbornly, and our Ming army is here, let's set up our posture and continue fighting. I promise you, even if I end up annihilating your clan If the species is exterminated, I will also help you put it to rest in the ground. After all, you can rest in peace now that you have come."

Once God comes, he will be at peace.

Wang Fu covered his forehead and sighed, Your Highness, this sentence does not mean that since he is here, he should be buried here.

Qu Neng's mouth twitched.

Jiang Wei was also stunned.

None of them expected that Zhu Zhen would have such a style of painting.

On the other hand, Mu Sheng shouted enthusiastically: "Come on, let's fight again."

Zhao Kuo also gritted his teeth and said, "Don't surrender if you have the ability. If you have the ability to rebel, don't surrender if you have the ability. What's going on?"

He was still thinking about the fact that he had not followed Zhu Zhen on the expedition to suppress the rebellion last time. He had just arrived at the battlefield this time, but the natives surrendered.

Seeing that the whole of Yunnan will be completely pacified and there will be no more wars to fight, how can he be happy?
Zhao Kuo was also a stupid young man. To put it mildly, he was brave and not afraid of death, but to put it worse, he was stubborn.

Facing Siren's hundreds of thousands of troops, he dared to rush into the enemy's formation. Would he be afraid of death?

Come and fight again if you have the ability.

Zhu Ming glared at the two of them angrily, "Why don't you give a speech?"
"Alas," Zhu Zhen suddenly changed the subject and said with a sigh: "Actually, you are the ones suffering the most. You just want to live, you just want to live. But you are oppressed by the three hateful chieftain families. You have worked hard for a year to get some food, but it has all been occupied by the chieftains, and you are still driven by them. They want to rebel, but they let your family members go to the battlefield and die, why bother?"

As soon as these words came out, the people looked at each other, and suddenly someone shed tears and started crying secretly.

Zhu Ming even said loudly: "I am not lying to you. There are [-] strong men here, and they can also testify. On the battlefield at that time, your sons were no longer the opponents of our Ming army, but those three were not human beings." What’s wrong is that your three chieftains want them to continue to resist, so they’re not the ones who died together, right?”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

But what Zhu Chu said was true, including the [-] strong men behind him, who were his witnesses.

Zhu Ming continued his efforts and transferred the conflicts to the three chieftain families. Coupled with the experience accumulated from countless reforms before this, he began to soften the people on the spot and win over people's hearts.

For example, they re-measured the land, divided the land for the people, opened warehouses for grain distribution, and promised not to set up chieftains anymore, but to let them be the real Ming people. They even told the real Ming Dynasty’s tax rate in public. In fact, Only a few bushels of grain can be collected from one acre of land.

"I am here to give you justice, to give you justice, to let you live, not only to survive, but also to live a good life."

"When the time comes, I will allocate those lands to you, so that each of your families will have endless food, and you will not have to worry about being squeezed by the toasts, nor will you have to work for them anymore."

"Those three chieftains have rebelled, so what if they succeed? If they succeed, they will dominate the world, but in turn they will still squeeze you."

"Not only will this king not oppress you, but I will also give you food to eat, keep you well fed and clothed, so that you can have a better life."

"Now I give you the opportunity to choose, whether to continue to fight against me, or to surrender to me and become my people, you have the final say. Including these 8 people, I will also forget the past. The premise is that I The king doesn’t want your food, your children, let alone your lives in vain. I only want your loyalty.”

Zhu Ming took away the speaker and looked forward condescendingly, waiting for the choices of the people here.

It turns out that this is what the choice he gave them meant.

You can continue to rebel, continue to be my enemy, and continue to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

In that case, I will also ask you to seek mercy and be benevolent, and I will destroy you all.

You can also choose to surrender completely, then this king will not only release these [-] captives, but also redistribute the land so that you can become true people of the Ming Dynasty.

How to choose, do you still need to think?

Gradually, the people began to kneel down one after another, even in groups.

Even if it was just to save those [-] strong men, they had to surrender.

What's more, Zhu Chu also promised huge benefits.

More importantly, Zhu Zhen made them truly understand who the contradictions were focused on.

Do they hate Zhu Chu and Daming?

At least before this battle, they didn't hate each other.

And what about after this battle?

Zhu Chu killed 5 of them, but Zhu Chu also explained that it was the three chieftains who made the 5 people continue to resist and died.

So you shouldn't hate me, you should hate those damn toasts.

As the conflict moved away, since the people didn't hate Zhu Zhen, how could they continue to fight?

As a result, Zhu Min not only conquered Beisheng Prefecture easily and logically, but also quickly eliminated the three major chieftain families of Gao, Zhang and Zi with the help of the people.

At the same time, a large amount of money and food were also seized from the three major families.

Zhu Zhen was not ambiguous, and the money was directly used to reward the entire army, including Qu Neng's troops.

There is still food and grass to replenish the military supplies first.

Next comes the stage of opening warehouses and releasing food, using the most practical and direct method to win people's hearts.

Qu Neng was shocked when he saw Zhu Chu's methods, and even called out: "Your Highness, please go to Sichuan and teach these methods to His Highness the King of Shu. With your methods, Sichuan can be determined." "

Zhu Ming said in a funny and angry tone: "You think I die too slowly, right?"

Now that he was deeply jealous of Lao Zhu, he went to meet other vassal kings in private?
When the time comes, Shu King Zhu Chun and his brothers should not run away. They should all go to the capital and be under house arrest.

Just kidding?
"Besides, there is no need for me at all. As long as my father is not too stupid, he knows what to do. After all, he is the Hongwu Emperor," Zhu Ming curled his lips.

Jiang Wei knelt there directly.

"Xiao Jiang, do you really love kneeling?" Zhu Chu looked sideways at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

Your Highness, you really dare to say anything.

But when Zhu Ming mentioned Emperor Hongwu, he actually felt a little proud.

Throughout the ages, he was the only peasant uprising, and he was from a true peasant background, but he became a model for the Nine-Five-Year-Old Rebellion.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even know a single Chinese character before, and he couldn't even be considered a scholar. The only identity he could use was that he had been a monk?
But Emperor Hongwu became the emperor, and who among the civil and military officials in the dynasty dared to disobey?

To be honest, Zhu Yu admired Zhu Yuanzhang very much. If he had not been causing trouble for him, Zhu Yu would have admired him even more.

Especially since he became Zhu Yuanzhang's son in this life, Zhu Yu was afraid and in awe.

But Zhu Yu still praised Zhu Yuanzhang in many aspects, such as severely punishing corrupt officials and being kind to the people.

What's so pitiful about corrupt officials?What's there to sympathize with?
A corrupt official can even kill people in a county. Killing a corrupt official can save thousands of people.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is always criticized is because he killed too hard.

But in Zhu Yu's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang's killing was not ruthless enough, and he had to be more ruthless.

Well, is he even worse?

The rebellion in Beisheng Prefecture was quickly put down, and within three days, the process of reforming the land and returning it to the countryside was completed.

Next, Zhu Chu also left the soldiers of the First Guard Station and set up Canglan Guards here, asking them to lead the people to complete the upcoming harvest and help the people quickly transition through this stage of change.

However, Zhu Ming's subordinates have long been familiar with it, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Zhu Ming also sternly told them that the common people are the foundation, and these common people are his treasures. If they dare to act arrogantly, he will take off their skin and use it as grass.

Jiang Wei was shocked. How did His Highness know that Lan Yu had been stripped of his skin by His Majesty?And he also sent it to Princess Shu.

Even Jiang Wei and the others came to Yunnan only after delivering General Lan's 'skin'.

Is this His Highness trying to scare us?
Jiang Wei was thinking wildly and couldn't sleep for several days.
