Chapter 373 Tang Xin returns home

As Chen Zuyi and his group of pirates on the treasure island of Xiaoliuqiu were decimated, they were all wiped out overnight.

At this point, Zhu Chu's journey to the south of the Yangtze River has come to an end.

If we continue forward, we will have to leave the Jiangnan area.

As for the attack on the Jiangnan family, if they could all learn from the Gu, Qian, and Xie families to understand current affairs, Zhu Ming had no intention of uprooting them.

But if you are shameless, then you can't blame him.

Although the matter here was over, since Zhu Xi agreed to wait for that boy Li Jinglong, he simply stayed in Taizhou for a while.

It was also at this stall that I finally confirmed my relationship with Tang Xin.

Tang Xin is a beautiful girl, but her only weakness may be that she has a bad temper. After all, she comes from a family of military commanders and is Tang He's daughter.

Good guy, when you are angry, if you open your mouth, you will be my aunt, and if you close your mouth, you will be Zhu Shiba.

"You said it didn't hurt," Tang Xin glared at Zhu Xi, sitting in the yard leaning on a chair, unable to walk at all.

This bastard had been tormenting her all night, and she almost thought she was dead in bed.

If Xu Miaojin hadn't helped share the pressure, she would have died.

Even though she has been practicing martial arts since childhood, she is still a girl after all.

Zhu Ming was not annoyed at all. He sat aside with a smile, holding Tang Xin's little hand, and praised: "With this little hand, I can't tell that the weapon you are using is a steel whip."

Tang Xin blushed and said angrily: "Are you trying to say that I neglect my martial arts practice?"

But she didn't free her hand again.

After all, the relationship between the two is different now.

"Look at you, it's like you've eaten gunpowder so early in the morning," Zhu Chu said, still smiling.

Tang Xin gritted her silver teeth and looked at Zhu Zhen with a sneer, because of who? What bastard made him so bad that he couldn't even walk? She almost suspected that she had been torn apart.

This is simply a beast.

When she cried and begged for mercy last night, he ignored her.

"Although Xin'er is as beautiful as a flower and looks deceptively soft, she is actually fiery and strong-tempered, but she is a fierce horse," Xu Miaojin walked out of the house, her pretty face still a little red.

It turned out that she had just gone to the back room to change into a quilt. The battle last night was so fierce that she had to take out the entire quilt to cool down in the morning, otherwise she would think it had been washed with water.

The two women looked at each other, then turned away feeling guilty.

Even if their relationship is like that of sisters, they are still a little uncomfortable now that they have become sisters.

Tang Xin curled her lips and muttered: "It's all up to me. Who among us doesn't know who is the other? When Li Jinglong and Chang Mao were doing evil in the capital, who beat them up just because they had nothing to do? Your reputation as Miss Xu, Much worse than me."

"Hey, don't forget that I am the elder sister now," Xu Miaojin came over, pinched Tang Xin's face with her hand, and said with a proud smile: "In our family, you are the last one to get started, you have to know how to Respect your sister, you know."

Tang Xin was so angry that he gritted his teeth and glared at her, so just scream.

As a result, Zhu Zhen also reached out and wiped it on her face.

"You," Tang Xin freed her hand and wanted to hide in the house, but unfortunately she couldn't move at the moment, and she was caught in the middle of the unscrupulous couple and teased her.

How could Tang Xin, a first-time wife, bear this?

"Okay, let's get down to business, Xin'er, how is your Qi? To what extent is it?" Zhu Zhen coughed lightly and stopped teasing his little wife.

It seems that he is becoming more and more proficient and adaptable.

Tang Xin secretly circulated some Qi in her Dantian, her beautiful eyes opened slightly, and she said in surprise: "Why did it suddenly increase so much?"

"Now you know the beauty of dual cultivation," Xu Miaojin glanced at Tang Xin's Dantian and said, "Apart from the taste, the most important thing is that my brother almost selflessly devoted himself to the dual cultivation with us. The benefits are all given to us.”

Zhu Zhen smiled evilly and thought to himself that if I don’t give my essence to you, how can I still get it on the wall?

However, it must be said that Zhu Zhen was far ahead of the two girls in their cultivation progress. In the process of dual cultivation, he almost used himself as a cauldron, sending out all the qi from the fusion of yin and yang, and also could Actively transport your own Qi.

Although Tang Xin had already started to learn about Qi training before, it had always been difficult to get started.

One is that he has no experience with cultivation methods and doesn’t know how to get into the state quickly.

Another reason is that Zhu Ming's physical fitness is too strong, which highlights the "incompetence" of others.

The first stage of nourishing qi is completely transformed from the body's own blood and qi. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is essence, blood and qi.

Women are slightly at a disadvantage in this regard. Although essence is also divided into yin and yang, don't forget that women always lose blood for a few days every month.

However, after some double cultivation last night, Tang Xin suddenly realized that her cultivation progress had directly increased by more than ten times. The originally empty Dantian was extremely abundant and solid, and the huge amount of true energy made her feel full of strength.

Tang Xin opened her mouth and looked at Zhu Zhen in shock.

Zhu Ming said proudly: "With my current level, it only takes more than a month for you to catch up with my sister's progress. And this is the orthodox Taoist method of dual cultivation. After all, it comes from the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. So in Yin and Yang With coordination, there will be no overthrowing of efforts.”

It just means that not only will he not gain any benefit or growth from the dual cultivation, but he will also lose some essence and true energy.

But Zhu Chu has reached the second level of Qi training and can use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his Dantian, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about it.

Tang Xin's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "That's great. I don't want to see Miao Jin being so proud in front of me."

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming with resentment and said, "There are really new people who forget the old ones."

"I promised not to be jealous, not to mention that I don't favor one over the other," Zhu Zhen smiled and reached out to caress Xu Miaojin's pretty face. In fact, he knew in his heart that Xu Miaojin had sacrificed a lot for his great cause.

He had rejected Xu Miaojin like that for Mu Qiu.

If it were someone else, when it was her turn, she wouldn't be able to make things more difficult for Tang Xin, right? Not allowed to get back the 'place' we once had?

But Xu Miaojin knew very well that Zhu Zhenxin was as high as the sky, and all he could do was to silently help him complete the foundation construction.

If it weren't for Xu Miaojin's generosity, whenever Xu Miaojin said "no" in the process, Zhu Chu would not spare no effort to attack and get close to Tang Xin.

And with Tang Xin's temperament, if you don't get close to her, she will stay away from you.

After all, Tang Xin didn't have a good impression of Lao Zhu's family.

A family of three, it can be considered a family of three, living peacefully in the backyard of Taizhou City Government Office, sometimes talking about thoughtful love words, sometimes teasing Tang Xin, a new wife, and they are having a lot of fun.

In the following days, they walked around Taizhou Prefecture and looked at the scenery.

In a blink of an eye, time came to May of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu.

At the beginning of this month, Zhu Min even obtained 11.21 million resources, which also shows that he is now considered by the system to have a population of more than 10 million.

This also brings the resources Zhu Ming now has to an astonishing 136.36 million.

In addition, in terms of force value, since he returned to the court from the grassland class, on the way out of the capital, he eradicated aristocratic families, ransacked houses and corrupt officials, killed Japanese pirates and exterminated pirates, and the number of weapons increased by 4,000. The value is also three hundred and sixty thousand.

But Zhu Zhen was no longer in a hurry to continue to strengthen his own attributes with force value.

Because after he completes the practice of Qi Jue, he will prepare to build the foundation. At the same time, he also needs to prepare the training techniques for the foundation building period.

In addition, the total of these force values ​​​​is probably not enough to increase all attributes too much. Now, it is the true energy that has greatly improved his strength.

A few days passed, and on the fifth day of May, because it was the Dragon Boat Festival, every household in Taizhou City was decorating with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the whole city became lively.

Moreover, Taizhou people also prepared a dragon boat racing program. Several prepared dragon boats rode the wind and waves together, which was very festive.

Also that night, Li Jinglong finally arrived with 3,000 troops.

At this point, Zhu Chu's army was assembled again.

That night, Li Jinglong and the last 3,000 people who returned to the army were allowed to have a good rest. By the next morning, the army of 15,000 people was assembled. Zhu Zhen sat astride his horse, leading the way, and then headed southwest.

After hearing the news, the people of Taizhou silently sent off the Dian King.

When he came to Taizhou from Zhucheng, he not only did not severely punish the people for smuggling out to sea privately, but instead eradicated the prefects who had colluded with the pirates, and eradicated the pirates in the area for the sake of the people.

The people of Taizhou Prefecture were also won over by Zhu Zhen.

When Li Jinglong learned that so many things had happened after he left, he immediately complained: "Uncle Eighteen, you have to train me. When I go back to the capital this time, the emperor also told me to learn from you. This is The emperor’s uncle’s orders.”

Zhu Ming suddenly said in a funny and angry voice: "You are a good boy because you are so cheap. This time, I asked you to be responsible for escorting the dirty silver back to the capital. Didn't you get enough of your commanding habit? But I heard that your boy marched all the way, under the stars and the moon, day and night. They rushed back. If this were a war, would you tire the soldiers to death? Do they still have the ability to fight?"

Li Jinglong muttered: "Aren't I afraid that you won't wait for us?" At the same time, Niu Sheng, Peng Yue, and some soldiers nearby looked at Zhu Chu with strange expressions.

Your Majesty, do you still remember the battle in Ningxia Town? Are you embarrassed to tell others?

Zhu Min didn't know that he had aroused the slander of many of his subordinates. He glanced at Li Jinglong and said: "You can understand many things without being taught them face to face. You have also read a lot of art of war and military books. That requires understanding." It's unspeakable. If you go to the southwest with me this time, you will definitely have to fight. It's time to train and hone you. If you dare to be the Ming God of War for me in the future, see how I can beat you."

Li Jinglong suddenly became excited. Is there going to be a battle? Didn’t he say he was just patrolling the world? How is this going?

Also, the Ming God of War? Does Uncle Eighteen think so highly of himself?

Li Jinglong suddenly raised his head high and showed off to Wang Fu and the others with great power.

Even Tang Xin and Xu Miaojin, who were in the carriage nearby, opened the curtain and asked Zhu Zhen, "Are you so optimistic about him? Is it just him?"

Tang Xin glanced at Li Jinglong: "Young boy, he doesn't do his job properly, he doesn't know how to learn, and he has no skills."

Xu Miaojin even said leisurely: "I've tried it before, but his shooting skills are not as good as mine. Even my second brother can defeat him."

Li Jinglong suddenly became angry with embarrassment: "Tang Xin, Xu Miaojin, even though you are my aunt now, you can arrange me in front of my eighteenth uncle. My eighteenth uncle has already said that I will be the Ming God of War in the future."

Zhu Ming couldn't bear to look directly at him and covered his head with his hands. He had a headache.

This is not a nice thing to say.

Because there is such a live treasure like Li Jinglong, the team has a little more fun.

And this kid didn't know what kind of stimulation he received, or maybe he was really taught a lesson by Zhu Yuanzhang in private. Now he no longer dares to be arrogant and domineering in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is very obedient.

Or maybe this kid really convinced Zhu Qi. After all, Zhu Qi's achievements on the grassland have surpassed Lan Yu's.

Also a military commander, Li Jinglong admired Zhu Chu's ability.

As the saying goes, civil servants are not the best, but military troops are not second. There are not so many frivolous people in the army. Whoever has the ability will be respected.

It's that simple.

Then, on May 13th, Zhu Zhen and the others went from Taizhou to Wenzhou Prefecture.

In fact, the distance between the two places was not that far, mainly because they walked from the seaside, and wasted some time while going around the shore.

In addition, Wenzhou has an entrance to the sea called Oujiang River.

Historically, Tang He was posthumously named King of Eastern Europe after his death, and he belonged to this area. In ancient times, there was a feudal state of Dongou Kingdom.

It took a lot of time to cross the river, otherwise we should have arrived around the 10th.

Logically speaking, the territory of Wenzhou Prefecture should also belong to the Jiangnan area, but according to the narrow Jiangnan area standards, it has exceeded the Jiangnan area.

Therefore, after passing Wenzhou Prefecture, even if Zhu Zhen and the others officially left Jiangnan, the first negotiation with the Jiangnan family was concluded.

And there is no Wenzhou leather factory yet.

Zhu Ming didn't know how he thought of that crappy advertisement in later generations. What bastard boss ran away with his sister-in-law?

Zhu Zhen was secretly amused for a while, causing Tang Xin and Xu Miaojin to look sideways.

Xu Miaojin whispered something into Tang Xin's ear.

Tang Xin's pretty face turned red and she spat: "What's there to be proud of?"

They had already left Wenzhou Mansion, but when passing through Wenzhou City, they rented a large courtyard alone and kicked out all the guards. The couple indulged themselves fiercely.

Even Li Jinglong now calls her aunt.

They thought Zhu Chu was missing that incident.

The taste of it is naturally not enough for outsiders to understand.

Then the army continued on the road in a mighty manner. After passing Wenzhou, it entered the Fujian area.

On May 25th, before the end of the month, they arrived in Fuzhou Prefecture.

Zhu Chu also passed by the Kinmen Guards House, which is now Kinmen Island.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, that is, seven years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Jiangxiahou Zhou Dexing to conduct a military expedition along the coast of Fujian and set up a total of five guards and twelve stations.

Kinmen Guards Qianhu Station is one of the twelve stations. The Ministry of War also calls Kinmen the Zhongzuo Station. It has four inspection departments: Fengshang, Guanao, Tianpu and Chenkeng. Later, Lieyu Inspection Department was added.

Kinmen is named Kinmen because it sticks to the southeastern seaport of Fujian Province, which means "as solid as gold and powerful as the sea gate".

Therefore, the name Kinmen Island should have started at this time.

Just talking about Zhou Dexing, Tang Xin and Xu Miaojin couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out that Zhou Dexing was also an old man from Fengyang, and had been Zhu Yuanzhang's friend even in his youth.

Later, when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the southern and northern campaigns, he also made many military exploits. He also served as deputy generals with Tang He and Xu Da many times, and they were considered old friends.

It is a pity that in the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhou Dexing was implicated and killed because his son Zhou Ji had an affair with a maid in the palace.

Pit father ah.

Zhu Zhen was a little dumbfounded. That happened in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign. He was still flexing his muscles in Yunnan at that time.

"No, are you seeking death like this?" Zhu Zhen couldn't believe it. Someone actually dared to run into the palace and misbehave under the nose of Emperor Hongwu?

Tang Xin suddenly said quietly: "There are only a few of the twenty-four generals in Huaixi."

There was the Hu Weiyong case before, and the Lan Jade case happened just two years ago. There is indeed not much left of the Huaixi Xungui Group.

"Don't they deserve to die?" Zhu Zhen suddenly sneered: "Hu Weiyong's son kills people in the street, and it's okay just because he is the prime minister? This world is his, Hu Weiyong's, isn't it? Your achievements are not to give you fame, not to others. You own the land? Why do you want to oppress the people? Do you want to compete with your father? Or do you want to compare your family background? Do you want to compete with our twenty-odd brothers?"

When it comes to dudes, who can compare with Zhu Yuanzhang's sons?

Playing with class, right? Is your privilege greater, or ours?

Zhu Ming subconsciously glanced at Li Jinglong.

At that time, Zhu Zhen had just returned to Beijing, and he was given a slap on the wrist by this kid. He still remembers it fresh.

After all, it happened last year, and he doesn't have Alzheimer's disease yet.

Li Jinglong suddenly felt aggrieved: "Uncle Eighteen, Aunt Tang Xin said that, what do you have to do with me?"

"Huh?" Zhu Zhen raised his eyebrows.

Li Jinglong immediately lowered his head and did not dare to talk back.

Tang Xin looked at Zhu Ming and sneered: "Uncle Zhou's son broke the law, what does it have to do with him? Aren't you going to form a navy? Don't you know that it was Uncle Zhou who was in charge of Fujian's military defense."

Zhu Ming snorted softly: "He is the only one left? Ming Dynasty will not change without him?"

Zhu Xin knew that Tang Xin had always complained. To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed unkind and unjust.

But there are many things that have to be done.

There is no rule without rules. Zhu Yuanzhang also imitated Zhao Kuangyin and wanted to release his military power over a glass of wine. But the problem was that there were still threats from the north at that time and he could not just let go of Nanshan. In addition, many people were greedy for power and were unwilling to come down. What could be done?

This is a country that has already been established. We can no longer act like a bunch of bandits and hooligans.

Otherwise, just like Li Zicheng, so what if the world is given to him? Wouldn’t it still be defeated in the blink of an eye?

If Zhu Yuanzhang was not so ruthless, he would be another Li Zicheng, and the Ming Dynasty would not be able to be established at all. When Bei Yuan comes back, he will be restored immediately.

You must know that although the Mongol Empire fell apart, there were still so many remaining khanates around it. The Chagatai Khanate had not yet split, and there were the Golden Horde and so on. Even Yunnan had only been recovered for more than ten years.

To be honest, every founding emperor is not simple. Zhu Zhen even said bluntly: "If I were in my father's position, I would only kill more ruthlessly than him."

"You," Tang Xin glared at Zhu Chu.

Zhu Ming walked over directly, put his arm around Tang Xin and walked to the beach, saying: "Okay, I know you have always been resentful, but you are my wife now, you have to stand on my side and look at things from now on. Zhou Dexing Even if he dies, the worst thing he can do is discover other talents in the future."

Tang Xin suddenly became furious. Didn't you even try to hide it? Do you, the old Zhu family, like to kill the donkey so much?

Xu Miaojin also came over, took the initiative to hold Zhu Chu's other arm, and said: "Don't worry, Xin'er, we can advise him from the side. But if there are really people who violate the law and violate disciplines, we must not tolerate it. "
