A few days later, Zhu Gaoxu returned to Peiping with the Yàn army.
The gun injury of Wang Bin of Baihu was just a skin injury, and as long as it was not infected, it would be fine.Zhu Gaoxu asked him to take off his clothes and observe. Seeing that the wound was healing, he felt relieved and asked Wang Bin to go home to recuperate.
When he returned to the county prince's mansion, the eunuchs and slaves in the mansion came out and asked about his well-being.Zhu Gaoxu took off his armor and uniform and went back to the inner hall to rest.
The mansion was almost the same as those people, but for some reason, Zhu Gaoxu always felt very deserted.
It’s like a person who has been working outside all year round suddenly returns to his empty home and feels strange.
The Prince's Mansion is not empty, there are many people.Zhu Gaoxu quickly understood: Du Qianrui is missing.
Without her, there will be less delicious and exquisite meals, less expectation of meetings and interesting conversations.
Zhu Gaoxu was fine and didn't want to sleep. He was in a restless mood and could not do anything like reading books and playing chess.He changed into a brown robe, called Wang Gui, and rode out with some money and horses.
Following the place where I forced myself to remember, Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui went to the slim street on the north bank of Haizi.
That day, under Zhending City, there was a personal soldier named Chen Dachui who asked the war horse to Zhu Gaoxu and told him his address.
The situation was urgent at that time, and Zhu Gaoxu almost forgot what the soldier looked like, but he only remembered the address... He must remember that it was exchanged for Chen Dachui's life!
At that time, there were many encirclements and surrounded by enemy soldiers. Zhu Gaoxu led the men and horses and ran very fast. If the cavalry lost their horses in such a battle formation, it would be a great disaster.
The soldier took the initiative to send his war horse and reported it to his house. The meaning was obvious: after he sent the horse, his life was lost, and the prince had to take care of his family!
Although Chen Dachui is a soldier, Zhu Gaoxu will not despise his life because of his status.
The two of them came to Xiejie Street and asked passers-by to find Torch Lane.Zhu Gaoxu also instructed Wang Gui to inquire around in this dilapidated alley.
The military household living nearby is named Chen Dachui. Do you know him?Wang Gui's voice came not far away.
Zhu Gaoxu walked slowly and was waiting for Wang Gui to inquire, while looking around.
This place is similar to the unrenovated old street I saw in my previous life. There are low hard mountain-top houses everywhere. Even if the ground is swept, it looks dirty. From time to time, there are shops that open doors to do small business.
In the entire city of Peking, except for the mansions of nobles and wealthy people, most houses are like this.At this time, the doors and windows of ordinary houses were very small, and most of them were extremely poor in lighting.
After a while, Wang Gui came over with his horse and said: Mr. Hong, I have found out, right in front of me.
Zhu Gaoxu asked Wang Gui to lead the way and walked a long way.Wang Gui pointed to a shop that opened towards the road and said: Young Master, that's it!
Zhu Gaoxu looked over and was puzzled.
The shop looked like a restaurant selling pastry and snacks. A big man was washing dishes at the door, with his hair tied up with a cloth towel on his head. Zhu Gaoxu had a vague impression: This man seemed to be Chen Dachui.
Chen Dahui?Zhu Gaoxu spoke.
The man suddenly raised his head, was stunned for a moment, stood up and wiped his hands on his clothes, and suddenly he knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Young man, why is the prince...
You are not dead?Zhu Gaoxu blurted out and asked, then went up and held Chen Dachui's forearm with both hands, lifted it up, in a standard King's posture.
Just then, a young woman in a dirty apron in the door also walked out. She held a boy and stared at him, staring at him without moving.
Although Zhu Gaoxu wore ordinary clothes, he was served by a group of people at home. The materials of the clothes were exquisite and flat and clean, and the brown robe was covered with white silk underwear. When he walked to such a place, he was not an ordinary person and was rare.
Chen Dachui turned around and pulled the woman, saying: Prince, this is my wife and eldest son.Come and kowtow to Prince Gaoyang!
Eliminated.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and looked at Chen Dachui.
Chen Dachui actually gave a look and shook his head slightly to indicate.Zhu Gaoxu seemed to understand a little: he was unwilling to let his wife know and sacrifice his life on the battlefield to avoid worrying his family?
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a strong feeling of affection.
Chen Dachui hurriedly welcomed Zhu Gaoxu inside and invited him to the seat. He also ordered his wife to take out the best tea cups and tea leaves to make tea.
The room was dark, mainly because there were no windows, and the place next to the door was fine, but it was simply dim.
Chen Dachui didn't dare to sit, and stood beside him and said: Many people died that day, and many horses were running in the air. I caught one, looked at the prince's Red Flag man and rushed out!
Haha, that's great.Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "When I came here just now, I was gritting my teeth and thinking about how to soothe your crying family... But now I'm fine, I can breathe a sigh of relief."
Chen Dahui laughed with him, as if he was not good at speaking the scenes, and just laughed.
Zhu Gaoxu asked casually again: How many people are you in your family?
Chen Dachui said: My family is a military household, and the land is in the countryside. My elder sister is also a military household, and her parents and brothers are at home.I am the Zhengjun, who works as a job in the prince's mansion and takes my wife and two children to partake in the city.Another cousin went out to buy rice and flour. He was Junyu, so he followed me.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
Most soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were like this. Military households have always been military households and cannot be changed. If you choose a strong man as a soldier in the army, you must also choose one or two military surpluses in the family to serve the army specifically; as compensation, both the military and military surpluses are exempted from corvee service.
An ordinary soldier in the army, trained to become a soldier, had to consume a lot of weapons, armor, horses, and food, and many people had to serve him.
However, such a small soldier will lose tens of thousands a day in a battle like Zhending, so war is an expensive and cruel activity.
Raising an army is also the most huge expenditure of the court.
The Ming system seems OK, but in fact there are more and more problems, and Zhu Gaoxu has heard of them.
After a while of greeting, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at Wang Gui.
Wang Gui walked up and took out some things from his arms one after another, piled them on the dark wooden table, with several Daming treasure banknotes and piles of copper coins.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I thought you were dead, and I planned to pay money and give your family privately from time to time.It seems that there is no need now. I brought something today as an extra reward to you.
Chen Dachui hurriedly said: Thank you, Prince!
Zhu Gaoxu slapped his hands on his thighs, and then he stood up and slapped Chen Dachu's shoulder with another palm: I see you are both loyal and brave. I will not treat my brothers badly after following me in the future.
Chen Dachui kept nodding and then sent it out of the house, honoring the prince!He stood there with his fists and saluted for a long time.
Zhu Gaoxu took a detour to the Bin diner again, with the door locked, almost closing.He stayed in the restaurant for half an hour and went straight home.
...The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu packed up and went to the Yàn Prince's Mansion.When I come back from the front line, I should go and greet my mother. This is an ordinary etiquette.
After entering the gatehouse of the Yàn Prince's Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu walked for a while and saw the eunuch Ma He coming towards him.Ma He said: The prince is in the front hall and is about to meet King Gaoyang. King Gaoyang will go to the front hall with me first.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and agreed.
He walked up the steps and entered the hall, and saw that there was another man next to King Yàn, Jin Zhong dressed in a robe.
My son pays homage to the father.Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to hold the tribute.
good.King Yàn looked up, reached out and made a gesture, and then buried his head in the picture on the desktop.
The joy and joy shown in the army have long disappeared from King Yàn's face.He was very happy that day, and he had the intention to inspire the generals?
After a while, King Yàn breathed out, relaxed his upper body and leaned on the back of the chair, and said: Li Jinglong is known as 500,000, and is gathering troops near the Hutuo River.We have too few people after all, and we are still weak...
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, just listened.
King Yàn said again: Li Jinglong is in the south, and the Liaodong Army and the Urian Ha guards threatened me from both sides.Especially the elite vassal cavalry of Duoyan, Fuyu and Taining guards under the command of King Ning, were very brave.
I discussed with Daoyan and others and decided to defeat each one, and ignore Li Jinglong for the first time. We should focus on winning over the troops of King Ning and the guards, and then strengthen our strength and then deal with Li Jinglong.
Jin Zhong immediately bent down and said: Prince is wise!
King Yàn looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said: I see that when Gao Xu wins over Zhang Xin, he is quite orderly.I want to send you to Yongping Guard to train troops. While trying to contact King Ning, I summon more troops in Yongping Guard to increase the strength of the Yàn army.Do Gao Xu have any objections?
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment, clasped his fists and said: I should follow my father's orders, but I have no contact with King Ning, so I am afraid I may not be able to help my father...
King Yàn waved his hand: As long as Gao Xu does his best, he will definitely achieve success.He pointed at Jin Zhong, if there is any news from King Ning, I will send Jin Zhong to contact you.
Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu said: My son obeys the order!
At this moment, King Yàn said in a very casual tone that Jin Zhong went to pick up the news about King Ning and handed it to Gao Xu later.
Jin Zhong bowed and said: Yes, the lower official retired.
When Jin Zhong went out, King Yàn pondered: Gao Xu looks very similar to me, and the princess also said that she looks like the same mold...
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look at King Yàn. King Yàn was burly, thick, wide and upright, big eyes, straight nose and thick lips.
In Zhu Gaoxu's opinion, King Yàn was not the handsome guy with a shoe-horned face like later generations, but he was very generous with a real man.
As expected, a man with a narrow face and too thin face is difficult to have this kind of manly spirit in ancient and modern times.
King Yàn continued: According to my wishes, Gao Xu was chosen as the prince early in the morning.
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: Father, you must not.My son really doesn’t value power and position much, so it will make the elder brother angry. Why bother?
This is the second time, and Zhu Gaoxu can feel the sincerity of King Yàn: At least for the moment, King Yàn doesn’t care about anything, and the huge pressure makes him just want to do his best to accomplish great things!
Zhu Gaoxu was able to help him, and he was the most trustworthy son in comparison. He was so willing to give him anything at this time!
At this time, suspicion and restraint are not conducive to exerting the enthusiasm of subordinates. Delegation of power and motivation are the best way to calculate, and King Yàn is still very experienced in employed people.
So Zhu Gaoxu felt that King Yàn was very sincere at this time... It’s a pity that a real man has another characteristic, he can judge the situation and refuse to accept it at any time!
The gun injury of Wang Bin of Baihu was just a skin injury, and as long as it was not infected, it would be fine.Zhu Gaoxu asked him to take off his clothes and observe. Seeing that the wound was healing, he felt relieved and asked Wang Bin to go home to recuperate.
