Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

From now on Chapter 87, Big Brother will protect you!

When they heard Zhu Kai asking them to charge, they worked even harder.

They want to let Zhu Kai know that he chose them to be his subordinates and they did not abandon his people!
Can the Jurchens retreat?
No!

The elite of their entire tribe were all together, and were chased and killed by Zhu Kai and his cavalry all the way. Even after they broke into the tribe's camp, Zhu Kai did not stop at all, and wielded the silver spear in his hand with great force. The Jurchen cavalry were frightened from the very beginning!
Now he didn't have the slightest bit of courage at all and was running away in all directions in a panic.

Zhu Kai, this is exactly the result we want!
The bravest were the Mongolian cavalry who surrendered to Zhu Kai!

When they faced the Jurchens, they had a natural blood suppression.

You say you don't accept it?
Still thinking about launching a sneak attack on Zhu Kai?

Fine then, I will make sure you don’t even have a leader!
Everyone began to be filled with murderous intent, their purpose was to kill and kill again. In addition, Zhu Kai did not issue a ban on killing, and the hot weapons in front of them swept the area, arousing the bloodiness in the bones of the Mongol cavalry.

Kill them all, regardless of gender, age or status!
This pursuit lasted from noon to sunset, and corpses were everywhere!
Zhu Kai was also tired of chasing and looking at the corpses on the ground, he felt a sense of disgust for no reason.

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

Zhu Kai raised his spear high and shouted, "Brothers, go back and receive the fruits of our victory!"

"Ow!"

The grassland cavalry who had defected to Zhu Kai began to scream in surprise.

The current Zhu Kai is more in line with the symbol of the grassland hero in their minds.

……

At this time, Hasitu, who was far away in the granary of Liaodong, did not know that Zhu Kai had already moved to the Jurchens. Instead, he was thinking that Zhu Kai saw that he had withdrawn his troops and did not continue to harass the Liaodong area, and he was very confused:

Did Zhu Kai realize the danger and retreat?
It is a good thing that Zhu Kai withdrew his troops.

At least he won't have to be bothered by this dog-skin plaster anymore.

It seems that Zhu Kai is still somewhat capable. Hastu feels that his tactics of gathering strength drove Zhu Kai away, while Wang Baobao took the initiative to attack and was defeated by Zhu Kai. He feels that he is stronger than Wang Baobao.

At least, there is now evidence to support this view.

Then, Hastu began to feel bad about the supplies that were taken away by Ao Sheng, and he wanted to get them back.

Zhu Kai has disappeared, so what are the Jurchens for?
However, Hastu soon stopped thinking so... The scouts who were gathering information outside brought back news that the entire Jurchen tribe was wiped out by Zhu Kai, and Ao Sheng's life or death was unknown, and he was most likely dead.

"what?"

Hastu felt that he did not hear clearly what the scout said, and let out a low growl to express his true thoughts.

The Jurchen tribe was destroyed?

how can that be?

Even if it was Hastu, it would be unlikely for him to wipe out the Jurchens in such a short time.

Even if he mobilized an army of 100,000, Hastu might not succeed.

What's more, Zhu Kai only had 10,000 soldiers and horses.

The Jurchens have at least 30,000 soldiers and horses... Even if they were three-bend pigs, it would be impossible to kill them all in such a short time, right?
However, the scout repeated his findings with certainty, causing Hastu to slump in his chair.

Jurchen... gone.

Jurchen, just disappeared like that?

Hastu couldn't believe this result, but the scout couldn't possibly lie to him about such an important matter, and there was no need to lie to him.

But... the Jurchens just disappeared like that!

Hastu couldn't accept such a result.

This time, Hastu contacted the Jurchen and Goryeo tribes to wipe out Zhu Kai. Now it hasn't officially started yet, and one of them has been killed. It feels really uncomfortable to feel that the plan was implemented but not completed!

But what will Zhu Kai do next?
He destroyed the Jurchens. If he went on to destroy Goryeo, Hastu would have to face Zhu Kai himself.

In Liaodong, is there anyone else he can use?
No!

Although Saiyinbuhua was also a Mongolian, he would not obey his orders. He stayed outside and proclaimed himself king, and refused to obey orders at all. Even Wang Baobao could do nothing about him.

Hastu couldn't even ask him to do anything.

Just as Hasitu was thinking about how to face Zhu Kai, the "rebel general" from Goryeo came running over crying and yelling. When he saw Hasitu, he prostrated himself on the ground and said, "My king, help me, my king!"

Hastu was already feeling upset, and when he heard the Goryeo leader running over and shouting, he became even more upset. He kicked the other person in anger, kicking him away from under his feet: "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!"

The Goryeo leader immediately hesitated and stopped talking. Hastu said irritably, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"My king, help! Those Ming soldiers are not human, they are not human!"

The Goryeo leader seemed to know more, so he revealed some other information while speaking: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has a kind of weapon, which is very cruel. It only makes a rattling sound and emits blue fire. The Jurchen cavalry were harvested like leeks. At that time, our people saw with their own eyes that the leader of the Jurchen tribe, Ao Sheng, was beaten into a sieve... Your Majesty, this group of Ming soldiers knows magic, they are using witchcraft!"

As he spoke, the leader of Goryeo drew a circle with his hands:

"Your Majesty, you don't know that a thing smaller than a fist, thrown out, would directly create a huge pit, and more than a dozen cavalrymen around would be thrown to the ground... If this isn't witchcraft, what is it?"

When in doubt, use some magic!
Anyway, if the phenomenon cannot be explained, just name it as sorcery.

Hastu looked gloomy when he heard the Goryeo leader's words.

His own people said that no one knew whether Ao Sheng was alive or dead, but the Goryeo leader knew it clearly.

For this reason, Hastu was a little confused: "How do you know so clearly?"

The Goryeo leader explained as a matter of course: "At that time, I sent people to contact Ao Sheng to discuss the matter of besieging and killing the Ming army, and it happened that the Jurchens were exterminated by the Ming Dynasty..."

"what?"

Hastu stood up angrily and looked at the leader of Goryeo. The light in his eyes showed great anger:
"You guys are obviously here, why don't you go and help?"

"..."

When the Goryeo leader heard Hastu's words, he was speechless.

In that situation...wouldn't it be a death sentence even if I went to help?

However, the naturally weak-willed Koreans could not help but humbly explain when they heard Hastu's questioning: "Your Majesty, we didn't want this to happen either, but we only had fifty people at the time. Even if we went to help... we would only get ourselves into trouble, Your Majesty."

The Goryeo leader couldn't figure it out.

It's something that there's absolutely no way to help, so why would Hastu care about this?

Is there any need to ask... Of course he is looking for trouble.

"Weak! Incompetent! It was because you didn't rescue them that the Jurchens were destroyed!"

Hastu put all the blame on Gaoli, then pointed at the Gaoli leader and said, "Prepare your troops immediately and go to destroy Zhu Kai! If you are a step late, I will make sure that your entire clan will not live in peace!"

This is a direct killing move!

When the Goryeo leader received the order from Hastu, he wanted to say a few more words, but Hastu did not give him a chance to speak and directly ordered people to drive him away.

When he walked out of Hastu's tent, he was completely dazed.

That's not right. I came to Hastu to ask for a solution.

But why did he just drive me away?

Then, the Goryeo leader's face became distorted.

In his opinion, Hastu was too shameless. Asking them to encircle and suppress Zhu Kai, who had magic in his hands, wasn't this pushing them into the fire pit?
Their final outcome will inevitably be the same as the disappeared Jurchen tribe, with nothing left in the end.

Hastu, if you send out 50,000... or even 30,000 soldiers, we will fight with you.

Now you do nothing and leave us to die!

Since you are ruthless, don't blame us for being ungrateful!
After leaving the camp, the Goryeo leader went straight to Zhu Kai's camp without saying a word.

……

After Zhu Kai destroyed the Jurchens, he did not stay in the Jurchen tribe. There were corpses everywhere, and it was disgusting enough to just stay there.

After taking some supplies, Zhu Kai led his troops away to find a new place to rest.

After arriving at the new location, Zhu Kai's discomfort on the battlefield immediately disappeared.

Instead, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

The Jurchens are gone, and perhaps the massacres that happened hundreds of years later will also no longer exist?

Zhu Kai felt that he had done another good thing for the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, it solved a big problem for the Han people a hundred years later.

Zhu Kai felt that he was very great.

Zhu Kai wolfed down the white flour cakes and the well-seasoned beef, praising the cooking skills of the Mongolian chef: "When the time comes, follow me to Yingtian, and I'll open a restaurant for you, selling stewed beef... No, stewed mutton! You can only stew beef for me!"

Zhu Kai almost said the wrong thing.

Selling stewed beef on the grassland is no big deal, but in Yingtian, Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye when Zhu Kai ate some beef privately. If Zhu Kai opened a restaurant selling beef with great fanfare, Zhu Yuanzhang would chase Zhu Kai and beat him up, and smash Zhu Kai's store.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it seriously, the officials in the world would not just sit there and watch Zhu Kai act recklessly!
Let’s sell mutton. Mutton is more reliable.

Just eat some beef in private.

The chef's face was beaming with joy when he was praised by Zhu Kai. He never thought that a barbarian from the grassland like him could open a restaurant under the imperial city.

Oh my god...is this the ancestral grave on fire?

The Mongols who surrendered from the surrounding areas looked at the cook with envy after hearing the promise Zhu Kai made to the cook.

While Zhu Kai was eating and drinking, Zhang Zhou came over and reported: "Your Highness, the leader of Goryeo requests to see you."

"Why would the leader of Goryeo want to see me?"

Zhu Kai curled his lips, "Do you want to make an appointment with me and compete with me?"

The people around him had murderous looks on their faces.

I wish I could stand up immediately and show off in front of Zhu Kai.

"No."

Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, "The Goryeo leader came to seek peace, saying that he was willing to offer supplies and ask us to leave Liaodong."

"Please ask us to leave Liaodong?"

Zhu Kai laughed, "This guy is really shameless, tell him... tell him to clean his neck and wait, I will get the supplies myself!"

When Zhang Zhou heard Zhu Kai's words, he nodded in agreement.

This should be the attitude. The Koreans, who are at the ends of the earth, are more hateful than the Jurchens.

Now, Zhang Zhou already knew that Hastu had gathered his troops but had not ended the siege on Zhu Kai. His guess was correct, the Jurchens and Goryeo were the two tribes that Hastu dispatched.

The Jurchens are already gone, and Goryeo is only now coming to ask for peace. What were they doing before?

Zhangzhou went to drive the Koreans away, but not long after, Zhangzhou came back and said, "Your Highness, the Korean leader said that he can surrender to us and attack Hastu with us."

"Attacking Hastu? What are you thinking?"

Zhu Kai sneered and continued, "Tell them, no!"

Having Koreans around isn't disgusting enough.

Even if Zhu Kai didn't want to wipe out Hastu, he didn't want the disgusting Koreans to stand by his side.

Zhang Zhou was not surprised to hear Zhu Kai's refusal. This prince of his was good in every way except that he was too stubborn.

But this kind of force is useless.

Zhang Zhou advised Zhu Kai:

"Your Highness, although the Koreans are useless, they have the advantage in numbers after all. Driving them to fight Hastu may not be a bad thing for us."

"unnecessary!"

Zhu Kai glanced at Zhang Zhou, then threw the beef and white flour cake in his hand to the ground in disgust, stood up and left: "Tell the Goryeo leaders to clean their necks and wait!"

"..."

Now, there is really no way to persuade Zhu Kai anymore.

Zhang Zhou knew very well that Zhu Kai would never waste food no matter what, and would never take his anger out on the food in his hand.

Now, Zhu Kai doesn't even want to eat, which shows how bad an impression the Koreans give to Zhu Kai!
"I will obey your orders!"

Zhangzhou took the order and drove away the Goryeo leader in just a few words.

When the Goryeo leader saw this scene, his face turned pale.

Am I really so disliked by Zhu Kai?

The Goryeo leader was unwilling to give up and wanted to ask Zhangzhou for something, but Zhangzhou didn't talk to him at all. He just ordered his men to draw their bows and arrows, and if he dared to get close, he would be killed.

When two armies are fighting, they do not kill envoys, but now even the envoys are going to be killed, which shows that it is useless to beg further.

There was no choice but for the Goryeo leader to leave in disappointment.

The Goryeo leader was very angry after leaving.

Staying to fight Zhu Kai means death, and asking for peace with Zhu Kai, or even acting as a pawn to deal with Hastu, but Zhu Kai disagrees, and he is in a dilemma!

"It seems that I can't stay in Liaodong any longer."

After this idea came into the mind of the Goryeo leader, he prepared to implement it.

He no longer stayed in Liaodong and ran back to Goryeo.

He was only a rebel general of Goryeo in name only.

There shouldn't be too many constraints if I go back.

We must evacuate the tribe before Zhu Kai goes to wipe them out.

The Goryeo leader, who was walking hurriedly, seemed to be thinking of the kimchi and barbecue in his hometown...

The Koreans ran away?
How could he run?

When Hastu learned that the Goryeo tribe disappeared from Liaodong overnight, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

When he learned that the Goryeo leader left him and went to Zhu Kai to ask for peace, but was rejected by Zhu Kai and then fled to Liaodong, the color of his face turned ashen.

He never expected that he would be stabbed in the back by Goryeo.

Who the hell are Goryeo? Are they worthy of stabbing me in the back?
Hasitu pounded the table angrily. He swore in his heart that after Zhu Kai left Liaodong, he would send out a large army to slaughter the Koreans! Chop them into pieces to eliminate the anger in his heart!
However, the opponent Hastu has to face now is still Zhu Kai.

He now doesn't know what he should do to defeat Zhu Kai.

Just want to drag it on.

It is already September, and Liaodong will start to get cold in October. As long as we can hold out until Zhu Kai can no longer stay in Liaodong, we will win.

Hastu clearly had elite troops under his command and was stronger than Zhu Kai in all aspects, but he just didn't want to fight Zhu Kai.

Before, when Zhu Kai didn't take out his world-destroying thermal weapons, Hastu had been hiding. Now that he has taken them out... Hastu doesn't even have the intention to look for Zhu Kai.

Zhu Kai was also troubled by this reason...

If this goes on, he won’t have any time left in Liaodong!
In a blink of an eye, more than four months had passed since he left Yingtian Prefecture. The weather in the north had gradually turned cooler. He had fought around Hastu's territory again and again, but Hastu was like a coward, not giving Zhu Kai any chance to fight head-on.

"Wait a little longer, I don't believe there is no way to break the Hastu tortoise shell!"

It's so damn infuriating!

……

It is no secret that Zhu Kai wiped out the entire Jurchen tribe.

The news spread across the northern border like the wind. When Xu Da and Feng Sheng heard the news, they couldn't help but gasp.

Zhu Kai was really cruel to do this.

This is genocide!
Moreover, the Jurchens were not a small tribe of a few thousand people. They could not be destroyed at will. Tens of thousands of people were massacred.

Neither Xu Da nor Feng Sheng dared to think about how crazy the group of moral gentlemen who always talked about benevolence and righteousness would be in attacking Zhu Kai if this matter spread to the Ming Dynasty, Yingtian Prefecture, and the court.

Zhu Kai was labeled a murderer!

It's not a glorious thing for these two fathers-in-law to look after themselves.

Feng Sheng still wanted to struggle a little longer, and wanted to find some reasons to help Zhu Kai make up for some of his mistakes, so that Zhu Kai would not become the target of public criticism.

The two ends of the Jurchen snake's head were swaying left and right in the middle, so it was normal to destroy it.

"It's a fact. There's no point in trying to find a solution."

Xu Da shook his head, signaling Feng Sheng not to think about these lame excuses: "Let your Majesty make the decision. We can't handle it."

……

How did Zhu Yuanzhang make his own judgment?

The news that Zhu Kai had destroyed the Jurchen tribe had reached his ears. While Zhu Yuanzhang was impressed that Zhu Kai had the potential to be a marshal, he was also confused... In his impression, Zhu Kai was a very kind person and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would kill someone.

For example, when facing the Mongols, Zhu Kai even recruited those Mongols as his subordinates, but why did Zhu Kai use such cruel methods against the Jurchens?
The Jurchens must have done something that made Kaier have no good feelings towards them!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought so. Anyway, Zhu Kai was right. If you think Zhu Kai was wrong, then look for the reason in yourself.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have to worry about Zhu Biao and Zhu Kai.

But there was another troublesome thing that made Zhu Yuanzhang feel uncomfortable.

For some reason, Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di could not be found.

The road from Yingtian to Beiping was searched three times, almost digging three feet into the ground, but there was no trace of them.

What the hell... Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Before, he had thought of capturing the three of them and bringing them back to Yingtian Prefecture to give them a good beating, but now that he couldn't find them, Zhu Yuanzhang began to worry about their safety.

Where will they run to?
Didn’t they go to Peking?
But went to other places in the North?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about the safety of Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di, he did not particularly think that they would be in any trouble.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer thought about Zhu Chong and his three brothers. The most difficult problem now was still Zhu Kai's destruction of the Jurchens.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, he could imagine how those officials would attack Zhu Kai.

But if the Jurchens did not make any mistakes, why would Zhu Kai kill them?
Just because Zhu Yuanzhang thought so doesn’t mean others think so too.

Let’s not talk about what happened outside the palace for now, let’s just say that when Ma Xiuying learned that Zhu Kai had massacred a Jurchen tribe of nearly 100,000 people, she was really panicked.

How could my kind-hearted child become a big devil?
The reason for all this was because of Zhu Yuanzhang. He wanted Zhu Kai to go out to fight. Now... the child is no longer the one she knew.

Without any hesitation, Ma Xiuying immediately went to find Zhu Yuanzhang. She did not intend to be polite to Zhu Yuanzhang this time. After arriving at Wuying Palace, Ma Xiuying pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Zhu Chongba, I just want to ask you one question. Do you want Kai'er to come back?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Ma Xiuying's angry question, he was immediately startled and jumped up from his seat and said quickly: "Yes, of course!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Ma Xiuying and comforted her: "Sister, that guy is in the northern border, we can't stretch that far. I have already ordered Li Wenzhong to tie up Zhu Kai as soon as he sees him and send him to Yingtian overnight! This little bastard is too unreasonable. He just wants to destroy such a big tribe! This... But, sister, don't worry too much, think about how kind Kai'er is."

"He didn't kill the Mongols, but kept them by his side to continue serving in the army. This shows that Kai'er is kind. This Jurchen tribe... must have done something to touch Kai'er's reverse scale, otherwise why would Kai'er do this? Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Li Wenzhong all praised our Kai'er for his kindness. I don't believe Kai'er will change."

Zhu Yuanzhang presented facts and reasoned.

This made Ma Xiuying feel relieved to some extent, but then her tears started falling.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If you hadn't let Kai'er go to the Northern Territory, how could this happen? Kai'er is such a good child..."

As Ma Xiuying spoke, she beat Zhu Yuanzhang, as if it was Zhu Yuanzhang's fault that Zhu Kai became what he was now.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer reason with Ma Xiuying, and directly assured Ma Xiuying: "Sister, please rest assured, I will definitely catch that little bastard Zhu Kai! Sister, you have to believe Kaier, when he comes back, we can ask him the reason, right?"

After much persuasion, Ma Xiuying was finally persuaded.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang still slept alone in the Wuying Hall at night, and Ma Xiuying still did not forget her promise.

If Zhu Kai doesn't come back, Zhu Yuanzhang can forget about sleeping in Kunning Palace.

After seeing Ma Xiuying off, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

Ugh!
It's time to call that kid back.

……

The three little ones, Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di, whom Zhu Yuanzhang had always been thinking about, had already arrived in Qin at this time.

However, among the three, Zhu Chong and Zhu Di were very depressed.

After entering Chang'an, Zhu Gang met a girl whom he fell in love with at first sight. Her name was Qin Min, a Mongolian woman with a Han Chinese name.

Zhu Gang felt that he had found true love, so he didn't care about his own ideals anymore. He just followed Qin Min around all day, pursuing her.

Logically speaking, Zhu Gang should have been married long ago at his age. However, because his older brother Zhu Kai was still unmarried, and his third brother Zhu Chong fell in love with Wang Baobao's sister Wang Ping, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry for Zhu Gang's marriage because of these two troublesome older brothers. Zhu Gang was originally a son who was like a tool, and Zhu Yuanzhang would not have any special opinions about him.

Who he wanted to marry depended on who was useful to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Gang was happy, but it was hard for Zhu Chong and Zhu Di, especially Zhu Chong, who brought Zhu Gang to Qin to prove himself.

But now they were in Qin, and Zhu Gang had gone to pursue the girl. The two brothers were unfamiliar with the place and could only keep an eye on Zhu Gang all day.

Looking at Zhu Gang and Qin Min together, Zhu Chong's depressed expression was written all over his face. Looking at Zhu Di who was in the same situation as him, Zhu Chong said in annoyance: "If I had known that this would be the result, I would not have brought my fourth brother to my fiefdom. This man has no ambition! He was blinded by such an ordinary woman."

Zhu Di also thought so.

However, he was very contemptuous of Zhu Gang's complaints: You like Wang Baobao's godsister, and you still have the nerve to say that Zhu Gang is wrong?

"Then let's go?"

"I won't leave. Let's follow my fourth brother."

After Zhu Chong finished speaking, he sighed again: "Fifth brother, this woman must be no ordinary person, maybe she is a spy of the Mongols!"

It seems that Zhu Chong has begun to fabricate charges in order to get rid of this woman who disrupted the great dreams of the three brothers.

"No way?"

Zhu Di said stupidly, "How could it be such a coincidence that the woman that Fourth Brother met was a spy?"

You know what, this woman is really a spy.

Her name is not Qin Min.

She originally had no name, but was later recruited by Wang Baobao, trained, and sent to the Ming Dynasty to become one of the spies.

However, Qin Min now doesn’t understand why she, a widow who has not yet married and an ordinary person, would be liked by a rich young man?
His preferences are very abnormal!

What Qin Min didn’t know was that when Zhu Gang was growing up, he read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by the ghostwriter Luo Guanzhong, and his favorite character in the novel was Cao Cao!

That Cao thief who locked up the two Qiao sisters in Tongque Spring!

Qin Min in front of him had lost her childishness and was ripening like a peach. Zhu Gang, the little fan of Cao Ze, naturally knew what kind of person he should like.

It's already November.

Thanks to the appearance of Zhu Kai, a bear in the north, the Ming Dynasty's northern expedition was turned around. Xu Da and Feng Sheng took advantage of the victory and pursued the Mongols, forcing them to retreat step by step.

For at least five years, the Mongols would no longer have any force that could invade the border.

I'm going back soon.

Xu Da and Feng Sheng did not return by the same route, but instead rushed eastward.

They are going to see Zhu Kai!
At this time, Li Wenzhong's army had already arrived in Liaodong, and Zhu Biao also came with Li Wenzhong's army.

Zhu Biao's expression was undoubtedly ugly.

Especially after learning that Zhu Kai had destroyed the Jurchen tribe, Zhu Biao never concealed his anger.

So he rushed all the way, joined up with Li Wenzhong's troops, and then went to Liaodong to meet Zhu Kai.

When Zhu Biao saw Zhu Kai, the first thing he saw was the silly grinning Zhu Kai.

He was so angry that he pulled Zhu Kai into the tent.

The first thing he asked Zhu Kai was: "Tell me, why did you want to destroy the Jurchen tribe? Brother Kai, that's a massacre! A massacre! What will the world think of you? When you did it, didn't you consider the consequences?"

"Thinked about it."

Zhu Kai looked at Zhu Biao and said:
"The Jurchens will be the enemy of our Ming Dynasty in the future. For the sake of the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they must not exist."

After hearing Zhu Kai's words, Zhu Biao was silent for a while. He believed that what Zhu Kai said was true.

If it were not for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Kai would never use such means to deal with the Jurchens. However, such means were too cruel and would cause discomfort to everyone.

"Brother, when facing the enemy, we shouldn't just wait until it happens before thinking of a solution. We should nip it in the bud when the signs appear!"

Zhu Kai raised his hand and waved his sleeves: "Brother, we can all be kind, but our kindness should be given to truly kind people, not to other people."

"Look at the Jurchens. Their ancestors were cruel and bloodthirsty. The people of the Central Plains suffered greatly from the war... Our Ming Dynasty is different from the Song Dynasty, but they are also different. If such tribes survive on the border of the Ming Dynasty, they will only become a threat to the Ming Dynasty."

"We can't just not do it because we're afraid of our reputation. Compared to the Ming Dynasty, what does a mere reputation mean?"

Zhu Kai can sacrifice his reputation for the Ming Dynasty.

The same would happen to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Kai’s explanation...will Zhu Biao believe it?
Believe!

He trusts Zhu Kai 100% unconditionally.

why?
Because in Zhu Biao's heart, Zhu Kai is a kind person, and when facing the Mongols, Zhu Kai did not kill the Mongol soldiers, let alone others?

If the Jurchens were not a threat, Zhu Kai would never have done this.

Of course, if Zhu Biao knew what the Jurchens would do more than two hundred years later, he might have been even more ruthless than Zhu Kai. Zhu Biao appeared to be a gentle and modest gentleman, but in fact, he was the same as Zhu Yuanzhang in his bones.

After resolving the knot in his heart, Zhu Biao's complexion looked much better.

But he was immediately attracted by the things on Zhu Kai's body and stared at Zhu Kai without saying a word.

Zhu Kai was talking when he suddenly noticed that Zhu Biao looked at him with a strange look. He subconsciously stopped talking and looked at Zhu Biao and asked:
"Brother, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Zhu Biao was obviously in no mood to joke with Zhu Kai. He looked at Zhu Kai, pointed at Zhu Kai's armor and said, "Brother Kai, wearing such heavy armor must be very heavy, right? Come on, now that we are not fighting, take off your armor."

"Don't take it off!"

Zhu Kai seemed to have been wronged, holding on to the armor and refusing to let go: "This is a gift from my third and fourth brothers, no one of you is allowed to snatch it!"

"Take it off!"

Zhu Biao's tone became much firmer, and he would never allow Zhu Kai to disobey.

"I do not……"

"You have to take it off!"

Zhu Biao did not give Zhu Kai more chance to explain. He stepped forward and looked at Zhu Kai.

The meaning is very clear. If you don’t take it off yourself, I will do it for you!

"Brother, don't hit me!"

Zhu Kai showed an aggrieved expression and said to Zhu Biao: "Brother, I know I did something wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed Uncle Xu. Look, those outside are all my subordinates. If you hit me, I will definitely shout, and then I will lose face."

"Brother, can you give me some face?"

The more Zhu Kai said this, the more Zhu Biao was sure. He looked at Zhu Kai with tears in his eyes and said, "Take off your armor!"

"..."

Zhu Kai really didn't understand why Zhu Biao asked him to take off his armor.

Looking at Zhu Biao's expression, he didn't look like he was going to hit himself.

There was no other way. Zhu Biao asked him to take it off. No matter how much Zhu Kai didn't want to, he had to take it off. However, just as he put his hand on the armor, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhu Biao awkwardly: "Brother, don't take it off? It's so cold. I had a lot of trouble to warm up this armor."

But how could Zhu Biao give Zhu Kai a chance to continue defending himself?

Just help Zhu Kai take off his armor.

Zhu Kai struggled, but Zhu Biao suddenly changed his strategy and rolled up Zhu Kai's sleeves.

Then, the wound on the wrist was revealed.

Seeing the wounds on his wrists, one on top of another, Zhu Biao could no longer hold back his tears and they fell down.

"Brother Kai, you...why do you have to endure all this suffering!"

Zhu Biao held Zhu Kai's wrist and cried, "It's my fault that I, as the eldest brother, was incompetent and failed to protect my brother Kai!"

"Everything you have is given to me by you, Brother Kai. Now I want you to come to the North to fight..."

At this moment, Zhu Biao felt so helpless.

This was not the result he wanted. He would rather see Zhu Kai be a free and easy prince.

Zhu Kai listened to Zhu Biao's words and felt helpless: "Brother, don't think like that. As long as I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the head of the Zhu family, I can't escape these things. This is my fate!"

“This is not your fate!”

Zhu Biao raised his head and looked at Zhu Kai: "You are just a free and easy prince, you have no other life! The life you are talking about is my life! It is the life of the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother... and the future King of the Ming Dynasty! From now on, big brother will protect you! This is not your life!"

"..."

What Zhu Kai least wanted to hear was Zhu Biao saying he wanted to protect him.

What is there for him to protect?

It’s just fighting - that’s what Zhu Kai likes, and Zhu Biao wants to protect him. Isn’t this making him give up something he likes?
This is not what Zhu Kai wants.

But... Zhu Kai couldn't say these words to Zhu Biao, at least not now. His elder brother was crying, and the more he talked, the harder he cried.

Zhu Biao is already an adult, why is he still crying?
Zhu Kai was helpless about this.

After a lot of persuasion, Zhu Biao was finally persuaded.

At this time, the Mongolian Tartars outside the door, after knowing Zhu Biao's identity, thought that they might be beaten and scolded if they took the throne. However, after waiting for a long time, they did not hear any sound from their own emperor. Instead, the sound of the Crown Prince crying came from the tent.

The Mongols' ideas were simple.

If my own ascension to the throne could actually make the prince cry, it means that my own ascension to the throne is even more powerful than the prince.

It seems that I have really followed the right master this time.

However, Xu Da, Feng Sheng and Li Wenzhong did not think so.

They felt that it was true that Xu Da held Zhu Kai accountable at the beginning, but in the tent, Zhu Biao was persuaded by Zhu Kai, and then some other things happened, which made Zhu Biao cry.

It should be... the injury on Zhu Kai's body, right?
The wounds left on the bodies of the three veterans when they first went to the battlefield were indeed heartbreaking.

Xu Da and his men naturally knew that brave men had a great chance of surviving on the battlefield, especially a bear like Zhu Kai, who also had a great chance of surviving.

However, having a chance to survive doesn’t mean you won’t get injured. How can you not get injured on the battlefield?

Zhu Kai had been running on the grassland for five months, and his body must be covered with scars.

Alas... I don’t want to think about it anymore. Thinking too much will only bring tears.

The two brothers have a deep relationship, so they should stay out of it.

……

After a long time, Zhu Biao gradually calmed down. He looked at Zhu Kai and said:

"Brother Kai, you can't respond directly to the sky."

Pointing at the wound on Zhu Kai's body, he said, "When mom sees this, she will definitely beat you up out of pain. Then, neither our dad nor I will be able to protect you."

When Zhu Kai heard that he would be beaten by Ma Xiuying, he suddenly panicked.

It’s okay to be beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang, but you must not be beaten by Ma Xiuying.

It hurts physically and it hurts in my heart, but there will be no good outcome in the end.

Zhu Kai immediately grabbed Zhu Biao's hand and said, "Brother, save me!"

Snapped!
Zhu Biao opened Zhu Kai's hand, then snorted and said, "You know how to beg for mercy now? What did you do earlier? You know how to beg me now?"

Hearing Zhu Biao say this, Zhu Kai felt a lot more relaxed, thinking that Zhu Biao must have already found a solution.

Sure enough, Zhu Biao whispered to Zhu Kai: "I'm not saving you, but there's something that needs us brothers to run for. We can only temporarily leave the main force and then return to Yingtian."

"Well, that's a good idea."

Zhu Kai nodded, agreeing with Zhu Biao's point of view, and then asked: "Brother, what is the matter you are talking about?"

"What else could it be? You were fighting in the North, and my third, fourth, and fifth brothers didn't want to stay at home, so they all ran away."

Zhu Biao was a little depressed. His brothers were getting older and more troublesome. "Dad sent people to search the road from Yingtian to Beiping three times, but there was no trace of those three bastards."

"They ran out? Hahaha..."

Zhu Kai laughed and said to Zhu Biao, "It seems that my stupid brothers were beaten by Dad a lot during the time I was away from home!"

"Stop watching the joke here!"

Zhu Biao patted Zhu Kai and said, "It's almost November now, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If we can't find them home before the Chinese New Year, we will have a hard time this year."

Chinese New Year means reunion. Every family hopes to have a good New Year, at least the whole family should be reunited.

Zhu Biao thought that before responding to Tian, ​​he should find those three little bastards first.

It was just right that Zhu Kai needed to recover from his injuries so that he wouldn't be seen and beaten by Ma Xiuying again.

Zhu Biao wanted to take Zhu Kai home, but Zhu Kai had so many wounds on his wrists, and definitely had a lot of wounds on his body. His armor was a little worn out, and some places were even dented. Just thinking about such scars was scary.

It was just right that Zhu Kai could recover from his injuries while going to find Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di.

Otherwise, Zhu Biao would not have gone through so much trouble.

"Hehe~Thanks, big brother!"

Zhu Kai pulled Zhu Biao and walked out.

"Let's get out of here and find those three bastards!"
