The gate of the mansion of Ru Yi, the Minister of War, opened, is not a common thing.
There is etiquette of welcoming guests with superiors and inferiority. Generally, only guests with equal status or higher status will open the front door; they usually only go through the corner door when entering and exiting.
The person who came today was Prince Zhu Gaoxu.
When Ru Wei went out to greet her, her face was still confused and surprised.Not long ago, when the emperor asked about the candidate for the prince, Ru Yi supported Zhu Gaochi, because Zhu Gaochi was the eldest son, and most civil officials liked him more.
But now Zhu Gaoxu actually visited the door in person, and he came to the door in broad daylight and swaggeringly.Could it be that they came to raise an army to ask for guilt?But seeing Zhu Gaoxu's expression and posture didn't look like him.
...The two came to the central hall, sat in the upper and lower parts, and exchanged polite greetings.Zhu Gaoxu has no arrogant and domineering style at all, his etiquette is a bit absurd, but his attitude is still very modest.
This Ru Wei was in her forties and was in her prime. She looked stable and was a senior minister in the Jianwen Dynasty.
After the Jingnan Army entered the city, he took the initiative to persuade Zhu Di to ascend the throne first. With the achievements of following the dragon, he has nothing to do now and is still a good minister of the Ministry of War.
The tea was served.Zhu Gaoxu was a little thirsty and took a sip.He found that many people usually don’t drink tea when they go to visit, and they still haven’t figured out the reason, but he doesn’t want to pay too much attention.
After moistening his throat, Zhu Gaoxu said: Rubutang finally took a vacation one day, but I came to the door to chat, sorry.
Ru Ying said: If you are willing to come to your door, it is the honor of the officials, and the glory will shine.
Zhu Gaoxu owed his body and said: That's right. Today I'm visiting, I just want to talk to Rubutang about Song Sheng, the left governor of the Later Army.General Song was a founding hero and a general in the northwest. I, a prince, shouldn't ask too much; but my father said that I would marry two sisters to become daughter-in-laws for General Song. I came for this.
Oh... Ru Wei looked dazed and her expression relaxed. She immediately said, Your Highness, the King of Han, is really asking the right person. Many years ago, I was walking around the Ministry of War and could tell the King of Han about the cause and effect.
Let’s talk about the important points first. The emperor valued Song Sheng so much, just for one person: Timur.He was originally a Mongolian, but his habits were no different from those of the Turks.
In the 20th year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty court had contacts with Timur.
Later, Timur's strength gradually became stronger and ambitious in the west; he continued to use troops from all directions, and his power gradually reached the countries in the Western Regions, which forced our Ming Dynasty court to be vigilant.
In the 28th year of Hongwu and 30th year of Hongwu, Timur detained and insulted the charity envoys of the Ming Dynasty and Ottoman Kingdom twice!In ignoring the good intentions of our Ming Dynasty in peace talks, we will continue to increase troops to the Western Regions.
Song Sheng has served as a military officer in the northwest many times, familiar with the customs and customs of the Western Regions and other places, and always wins the military.The emperor then respected it.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: So that's it.
Ru Ying said in a deep voice: Song Sheng once led troops under the command of the emperor and had an old friendship.After the emperor ascended the throne, Song Sheng immediately rushed back to the capital to pay his respects.The court doesn’t use him, who should I use?
Zhu Gaoxu nodded again and said yes.
Ru Yi talked a lot and continued: Today, he was very angry at what Timur did, but in the end he gave up the idea of the Western Expedition. It was too far away.The climate in Guanzhong, Gansu and the Western Regions is dry now, far less than that during the Han and Tang dynasties. The central government of our Ming Dynasty is also moving eastward, and opening up the territory to the west is not the general trend.
The emperor discussed with the ministers that he believed that these people only knew how to slaughter the cities and territories and could not defend them for a long time; they were no different from bandits and were not troubled.The court only needs to increase the border military preparations when it is strong, strictly prevent passes, and wait for it to destroy itself.
Ottoman, is it Ottoman Türkiye?Zhu Gaoxu pondered.
Ru Wei was stunned for a moment, maybe it was just a country name that was close to the sound.
Zhu Gaoxu thought about it for a long time, and in this matter he really agreed with his father's insight...
During this period of the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that the world was about to enter the era of great navigation, and it was an era of oceans from now until modern times.
Standing in the knowledge of later textbooks, even if we want to open up the world, we should focus on developing the ocean; rather than developing towards the western continent and experiencing the chaos there.
Zhu Gaoxu also knew that the Ming Dynasty had no natural enemies except in the late Ming Dynasty.He had never heard of that Timur, and from history, he could not make any waves in the Ming Dynasty.
He didn't know what was going on in the end... But from Ru's mouth, Timur's practice of conquering cities and slaughtering land and only knowing how to kill was obviously unplayable during the rise of the Ming Dynasty; if the Ming Dynasty faced the disaster of destruction, millions of military households with a population of over 100 million and weapons alone would ask him to slaughter.
As the son of Taizu, Zhu Di, who brought more than 200,000 strong soldiers, could seize the country by relying on some luck, but the foreign tribes could not at this time.
Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said: Thank you, Rubutang for solving the doubts, so I won’t bother you anymore and say goodbye.
The emperor gave His Highness to the King of Han.Ru Yi stood up.
...When Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace, Professor Hou Hai was waiting for him.So Zhu Gaoxu asked him to go into the study and talk.
Hou Hai said: Prince, the governor Xu Zhang is the former guard general of the Yàn Palace. Xu Zhang has been in the Jingnan Army. You should know that.
I know.Zhu Gaoxu said, I asked you to inquire, it is not something that everyone knows about.
Hou Hai smiled and said proudly: What's important is coming...
Don't keep it a secret, say it quickly!Zhu Gaoxu said.
Hou Hai asked mysteriously: What blessing does the prince know?
Zhu Gaoxu was a little impatient and nodded.He doesn't know He Fu yet?General Jianwen, who had fought against Zhu Gaoxu in the battle of Lingbi, often led his troops with Ping'an.
Hou Hai said with a smile: He Fu's first wife is dead, Xu Xian's wife is Xu Zhang's real sister!
oh!When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he suddenly realized and asked again, "He Fu Xuxian was before the "Jingnan Battle"?"
Yes, it should be the matter of the Hongwu Dynasty.Hou Haidao, I heard that Xu Zhang’s personal sister turned out to be a widow!
Hou Hai continued to talk about trivial matters that were irrelevant. This guy was really gossipy.
Zhu Gaoxu always felt very strange, why is Hou Hai a civil servant, an official position or a bookish professor, instead of working in the Jinyiwei?
Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to stop his eloquent desire to express himself, but he just didn't say anything, still thinking about the relationship.
Although he did not work in the court, he also came into contact with some civil and military affairs and learned a lot of things.Judging from various signs, his father Zhu Di has a very routine in power!
In Zhu Gaoxu's mind, just talking about his father's ability to lead troops to fight can only be said to be pretty good, and he has not reached the level of using troops like a god; but his father's ability is very comprehensive, especially in power and skills.
...The father has only ascended the throne for more than half a year and has basically grasped the power.Zhu Gaoxu thought about his father's various routines during this period.
First of all, as soon as Zhu Di entered the city, he promoted all the officials who had been suppressed and unsuccessful in the Jianwen Dynasty, regardless of their pros and cons, and pretended to restore the Hongwu ancestral system.
This will first stabilize the situation and ensure the normal operation of the ruling institutions.
Then, it was good to almost everyone, and everyone seemed to become friends.
However, this is impossible!
This is just to stabilize the overall situation and avoid all forces from joining together so that they can defeat them one by one!
As expected, a group of people were in trouble immediately.
That is the civil servant who scolds him and does not support him.
Then, a large number of civil servants who supported the reduction of the power of the vassals and dealt with Zhu Di were finished.
Zhu Di began to extend his hand to the surrendered generals of Jianwen and Wen, because he felt that they were unreliable!
(Zhu Gaoxu felt that the vassal kings who were still happy to restore their throne and power will all be unlucky in the future, but the time has not come.)
If Zhu Gaoxu is not wrong, his father is dealing with those surrendered generals one by one during this period, and Sheng Yong is the first to be finished.
However, it seems that He Fu is going to be safe.
...He Fu is a man who is in a normal manner in the war and is not a person who uses troops as good as a god. He can only be considered as good; in the battle of Lingbi, He Fu has tens of thousands of people to reinforce Ping'an, but because his scouts were not careful in reconnaissance, he was ambushed by more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry of Zhu Gaoxu and was defeated.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu has never attached much importance to him, and felt that his ability to fight formation is far less than that of Qu Neng and Sheng Yong.
It was not until just now that Zhu Gaoxu discovered that this person was actually a wonderful person!
Damn, as early as the Hongwu period, He Fu had already expected that King Yàn would raise an army and paved the way early... Otherwise, would he look down on a small guard general in the Yàn Mansion and wanted to marry Xu Zhang's sister as his wife?
He, a senior military general in the central government of the Ming Dynasty, must he be a widow?
Now He Fu's son is born and bears fruit.
Xu Zhang is the direct descendant of the Yàn Prince's Mansion and belongs to Zhu Di's core force to maintain imperial power; but Xu Zhang has long been in-laws with Jianwen's general He Fu, and Zhu Di is a little afraid to touch He Fu.
Zhu Di had to compromise, and the solution was: he also married Xu Zhang and asked Gao Sui to marry Xu Zhang's daughter.In this way, everyone becomes relatives!
Xu Zhang became a royal relative, and the relationship between the king and the minister became more stable; He Fu also joined the royal relative circle, so he should have followed Zhu Di with peace of mind.
……
In less than two days, Zhu Gaoxu could see He Fu.Although they are old rivals, they can't meet each other in the battle. This is the first time they have met.
When I was still the king of Yàn, there was a habitual activity in autumn, which was autumn hunting.
The original meaning was not to hunt, but to summon all the troops to prepare for war in the name of hunting.
Because the season when the northern tribes raid the border is in autumn, the war horses eat grass seeds very fat, and they happened to rob the northern brothers who had been working in the Central Plains for thousands of years.
Zhu Di, who was the king of the Beiping vassal state, was his duty to prepare for the border, and of course he had to accompany his nomadic brothers to hunt every year.
This year, Zhu Di is already the emperor. He is in Nanjing and cannot escape from it, but he is used to it and does not want to change it for the time being.So autumn hunting became a real hunting activity.
Location is at the Little Red Mountain Royal Hunting Ground.Zhu Gaoxu heard that He Fu was going too...
There is etiquette of welcoming guests with superiors and inferiority. Generally, only guests with equal status or higher status will open the front door; they usually only go through the corner door when entering and exiting.
