Chapter 103 The Heroic General

Lao Zhu and Empress Ma would definitely be reluctant to let Zhu Xiongying lead the army. Even if their grandson is sensible and smart, he is still a child, and he is only less than fifteen years old now, which is still a bit too young.

The most important thing is that swords and guns have no eyesight. Even if the Ming Dynasty is invincible, there is no guarantee that some accidents will not happen. This is very possible, not to mention that this is still intended to be accomplished in one battle. Even if Beiyuan is in decline, it still has some wealth.

.

It is normal to have such worries. Even if there are many elite soldiers and powerful generals, Zhu Xiongying will not be easily allowed to go on an expedition.

It's just that as an emperor, Lao Zhu also knows that some things must be done. If you are not ruthless and decisive enough, you will miss many opportunities.

Empress Ma also understood this. While scratching Zhu Xiongying, she asked, "Xiongying, do you really want to go to war? Even if you don't go out, no one will say that your background, prestige, and those things are not the same."

There will be a battle."

Zhu Xiongying lay on the bed comfortably and said, "Grandma, I also know those principles. It's just that I always feel that I should do something while I'm alive. You and your grandfather are getting older. You are now in good health, and I can still

Let’s go out for a walk. Besides, I’m getting older, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave Beijing easily in the future.”

Empress Ma thought it made sense, but she still said, "There's no need for you to go out. Just patrol the border. How about we go out for a walk."

"Grandma!" Zhu Xiongying said in a coquettish tone, "I am no longer a child, so I have to do something. I just thought that if this battle is over, I will have military merit. To be honest, my grandfather restored China.

No matter how hard we, the descendants, try our best, we will never be able to surpass him. We, Tao, and martial arts, I still want them all."

"It is the duty of generals to open up territories and expand territory." Empress Ma said with a smile, "I think you still want to seize the wolf and seize the throne, and restrain Shi Yanran."

Zhu Xiongying did not deny it, and said, "In the long run, my grandfather divided the kings in order to control Wu Xun. When I go out this time, even if it is just in the name of a coach, I can take Wu Xun under my command."

Now it’s the Hu Weiyong case again. I’ll take some people away so that my grandfather and father can be free.”

Empress Ma patted Zhu Xiongying's back lightly and said angrily, "You have so many thoughts at such a young age. You, like your grandfather and your father, are all worried about your life! Tell me,

Does that case need you?"

Zhu Xiongying said proudly, "Who made me the eldest grandson of my grandfather? This is what I should do!"

"Well, I'll help you talk." Queen Ma sighed and said, "I also had a hard life. When I was a child, my father killed someone and left for a foreign country. I followed my adoptive father to raise the army and worried about it. After I promised to your grandfather, he

Worry. I thought I could enjoy a few years of happiness, but when my grandson grows up, he also wants to fight and kill him."

Zhu Xiongying immediately said, "Grandma, when I go out this time, I will definitely not fight again. I will definitely not mess around. I will definitely obey the general's military orders."

"General?" Queen Ma said funnyly, "You are the heroic general, and Xu Da can only be your deputy general."

Zhu Xiongying encouraged him and said, "Grandma, why don't you embroider me a large banner of the general Tiance?"

"It's not good to have a good reputation. It's not good to kill your brother and imprison your father." Empress Ma said with a smile, "Zhao Guangyi's descendants are not up to expectations, and the good general Tiance was ruined by them."

It seems that this is really the case. Fengchan Taishan was considered to be a downgrade for Song Zhenzong. And General Tiance was actually similar. He once named his brother Zhao Yuanzuo General Tiance, but that man got mad.

He set fire to the palace in the middle of the night and was deposed as a commoner.

Furthermore, Ma Yin, the founder of Southern Chu, the capital of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Ma Yin’s third son, fifth son, and seventh son were all Tiance generals, and one of them was defeated and killed...<

/p>

Zhu Xiongying just continued, "Grandma, I'm going out this time. From now on, I can take care of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. The division of the uncles into enfeoffments will be a matter for the future. The main thing is to take care of Wu Xun's side."

Empress Ma also understood this and said, "Then I will ask your second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle to lead the troops there."

Zhu Xiongying said hurriedly, "It's okay, but forget about the fifth uncle, he is not good at leading troops. I will take Feng Sheng with me this time, otherwise he may not be able to escape."

Empress Ma made sense when she heard it. She knew that Lao Zhu wanted to deal with Feng Sheng. If he really brought Zhou Wang Zhuji there, Lao Zhu would definitely have caught something again, and Feng Sheng would definitely be in trouble.

Empress Ma asked, "Who do you want to take with you on the expedition?"

Zhu Xiongying said matter-of-factly, "The Duke of Wei, Xu Da, and the Duke of Song, Feng Sheng, are my right and left lieutenants. The Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, and the Marquis of Yongchang, Lan Yu, are with my cousin. Our two armies left Daning to look for traces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

Empress Ma smiled and asked, "That's fine. It's safest to send troops from Daning. What about your uncles?"

"The second uncle and the fourth uncle followed me on the expedition, and the third uncle guarded the rear." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "The second uncle and the fourth uncle have military skills, and the third uncle is also my close elder. The only way out for me is his help."

With me on guard, and with the help of Wu Dinghou Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen, I will have no worries about my future!"

Lao Zhu, who was hiding behind the scenes, jumped out and said, "Guo Ying wants to follow you. He is my bodyguard. Only when he guards you can I feel at ease."

"Grandpa, my uncle will definitely follow." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Although my uncle doesn't have much ability, his loyalty is not a problem. When I go out, he won't dare to mess up even if he is a drunkard. He is even more disrespectful than others.

Hope to see something wrong with me."

Lao Zhu still said, "That won't work. Guo Ying has to follow you. If I ask Tang He to stay behind, that person will not live up to expectations."

Hearing what Lao Zhu said, Zhu Xiongying couldn't help laughing. Tang He, the old brother, worried Lao Zhu a lot. When they split up to attack Shu, Fu Youde had already finished fighting, and Tang He hadn't arrived on the battlefield yet.

I missed the good opportunity to become an official.

Zhu Xiongying continued at this time, "Although 200,000 troops conquered Nahachu last year, now we can also divide Nahachu's tribes. I will bring 200,000 troops out, which is definitely enough. This is also

Not counting the guards from my uncles."

Lao Zhu thought about it and said, "Logically speaking, not only 200,000, but 150,000 is enough. But if you want two armies, I will give you 300,000. I will let you follow Xu Da and Lan Yu will give you 300,000."

If you are the vanguard, he will definitely fight to the death."

Zhu Xiongying said hurriedly, "I won't take all of my Shenji battalion out this time, just let them see the blood. The younger generation of Wu Xun will either guard me or serve in the army."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Well, we have to think carefully about who can follow you. When you come back this time, Wu Xun will definitely take care of a group of people."

Zhu Xiongying naturally also understood that the Hu Weiyong case was about to reach its climax, and some martial arts heroes were bound to be implicated. Therefore, even if those who could be taken away by Zhu Xiongying were not absolutely loyal people, they were the kind who did not have to worry about being liquidated.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiongying felt proud, "Grandpa, your love for licking calves is really amazing! The emperor's grandson has an army of 300,000, and you don't think it's not enough. They are all for me to have elite soldiers and strong generals!"

Lao Zhu smiled and touched Zhu Xiongying's head and said, "Am I still afraid that you will rebel? If you and your father want to do something serious, I will use as much strength as possible. What you said before is also true. I will entrust the kings to each other.

Even if they are allowed to defend the imperial court, there is still a difference between the clan members commanding the army and the country's own soldiers commanding the army."

Lao Zhu naturally understood some of the disadvantages of enfeoffing the kings. However, the power of the Huaixi nobles was too great. Lao Zhu did not say that it was difficult for him to sleep and eat well, but he also had some taboos. These are also facts.

Now it is impossible to do everything at once, so just do it one by one.

"If you really want to go out, I won't stop you." Lao Zhu was silent for a long time before he said, "It's just me who has the final say on who will be arranged around you and what route the troops will take. You can't make your own decisions.

."

Seeing Zhu Xiongying nodding his head, Lao Zhu hurriedly said, "I'm not joking with you. You can just make your own decisions about ordinary things. This is a big deal! If you act nonsense, you might lose the army."

Zhu Xiongying knew what he knew and said seriously, "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson knows what he knows. Even though I have learned some martial arts since I was a child, I am just not as good as Wei Guogong and other veteran generals. I just sit in charge of the central army, and I am still a general in command and dispatch."

of."

Only then did Lao Zhu smile slightly, "If you really want to say that, I can rest assured. You have been sensible since you were a child and you know the truth well."

Empress Ma also said, "That's right, you won't mess around with these important matters."

This is inevitable. Zhu Xiongying will not be a master of micro-manipulation, nor will he imitate Zhu Yunwen's tricks like "accidentally hurting my uncle".

To put it bluntly, as long as Zhu Xiongying is not giving blind orders, which of the team members who follow him on the expedition is not a famous general? They only need to follow him on the expedition, and forget about other things.

The most valuable thing about people is self-awareness. It is obvious that Zhu Xiongying is self-aware. He knows his identity and will not fool around.

It was precisely because he knew Zhu Xiongying's character that Lao Zhu allowed Zhu Xiongying to go on an expedition.

In the final analysis, Zhu Xiongying is the coach in name only. If Zhu Xiongying goes out, he can indeed better gather military honors and take back military power. If the risk is too great, Lao Zhu will be reluctant to let Zhu Xiongying go out.<

/p>

Not to mention that the status of the prince and grandson is now stable, even if a battle is needed to completely establish the status of the prince and grandson, Lao Zhu will not hesitate.

Such a war is just the icing on the cake. But no matter what, as long as it can make his children and grandchildren better able to take over the country, Lao Zhu will support it.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu eagerly and asked, "Grandpa, can I really become a general of Tiance?"
