Chapter 1 Gloom and gloom

Yongle seventh year, August 21st.

I don’t know if today is a good day, but it is definitely not a good day for the Ming Dynasty, from the emperor down to the common people.

Not long ago, eight hundred miles to the north, the 100,000-strong army led by Duke Qiu Fu of Qi State and those outside the pass were completely wiped out by the Tatar Khan Benya. All the generals, from Qiu Fu to the generals, were killed in the battle.

.

One hundred thousand good men of the Ming Dynasty were buried in Mobei.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."

At the foot of Jubao Mountain, a man who looked like a eunuch was standing tremblingly outside a village, looking like he wanted to go in but didn't dare.

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanhe raised his head and looked at his personal eunuch.

"Come in, what are you afraid of when I'm here?"

In fact, it is not to blame that the little rich man is timid. There are twelve dogs in this yard, each one is nearly one meter tall at the shoulder, and they look so ferocious that anyone would be terrified to see them.

"Forget it, you'd better wait." Zhu Zhanhe looked at the timid appearance of the little rich man and had no choice but to share the meat in his hands with the dogs squatting next to him, and then walked out of the yard.

This blue and white dog is very wild, and basically ignores anyone except its owner. It has such a fierce temper that it will bite back even if it is hit by its owner.

On weekdays, no one except Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Zhanhe's personal bodyguard Zhu Ling dared to come in.

"What happened?"

After leaving the yard, Zhu Zhanhe asked while washing his hands.

"Your Highness, something big has happened!" After Zhu Zhanhe said this, Xiao Fugui realized what he was doing and said in a low voice in a hurry.

"News came back from the front line, saying that the Duke of Qi was defeated and that all one hundred thousand soldiers of our Ming Dynasty were killed in Mobei. Even the Duke of Qi, the Marquis of Jing'an, the Marquis of Tongqing, the Marquis of Anping and the Marquis of Wucheng also died on the battlefield!

"

Zhu Zhanhe paused in his hand movements, then slowly said: "I understand, please step back first."

Xiao Fugui was a little surprised. The death of the four princes in battle was definitely a major event. Why didn't His Highness the Crown Prince react at all?

However, he was not qualified as a servant to interfere with the affairs of the master's family, so he could only lower his head and retreat.

Zhu Zhanhe finished wiping his hands, threw the silk scarf aside, turned around and entered the yard again.

Although the old man Zhu Di decided to let Duke Qiu Fu of Qi lead an army of 100,000 men this year when he lost his country in a crusade against Benya, the Tatar Khan who killed Ming Dynasty, there was a high probability that these 100,000 soldiers would not come back.

After all, if this hadn't happened, the old man wouldn't have been able to conquer the country personally, let alone spend his whole life flying around and traveling across the country.

But he knew he knew it, but there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Let alone the fact that he, as the prince of the Han Dynasty, is easily to be offended, how many people would believe him if he said it?

Besides, he is not the one who has the biggest headache. The one who has the biggest headache is still in the palace.

Yingtian Palace, Wenhua Palace.

The emperor visited the north, and Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, was responsible for supervising the country. However, once the news of Qiu Fu's defeat came back, even Zhu Gaochi lost some sense of proportion.

That's one hundred thousand soldiers, and they died in Mobei. If you say the numbers are equal or the enemy's numbers are far greater than the Ming army, then it means they are defeated. There is nothing to say that they are inferior to others in terms of skills.

But now it was 100,000 versus 30,000! Although Benya later dispatched a total of 140,000 troops, Qiu Fu had already shown his defeat when facing the 30,000 enemy troops who attacked by surprise.

"Boss! Do you know?"

He remembered a rough voice outside the Wenhua Palace, and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel a headache.

Although Zhu Gaochi knew that his brothers would take the opportunity to attack from the moment he received the news, when the incident came, Zhu Gaochi still couldn't help but have a headache.

"I told you to let me go back then, but you didn't agree. Now, okay!?" King Han strode into the Wenhua Palace, his tone full of aggression.

"One hundred thousand! That's one hundred thousand soldiers! How do you want me to explain to the brothers in the Three Thousand Battalion!?"

"That's right!" Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu entered the palace first, followed closely by Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui.

"Weizi Shou Camp also suffered heavy losses this time. Boss, what do you think we should do!?"

"Two brothers, please be patient." Zhu Gaochi had a headache, but he couldn't escape, so he had to bite the bullet.

The old man is currently patrolling Shuntian in the north. There really is no one who can stop them.

"The reason why you two were not allowed to go was because you are royal relatives. If we were defeated and captured, it would have a great impact on our Ming Dynasty."

"If others use you as a threat, Ming Dynasty will be controlled in every way."

"What about now!?" Zhu Gaoxu finally found a good opportunity, so naturally he was unreasonable and unforgiving.

"One hundred thousand soldiers were buried in Mobei! Boss, how do you want us to explain to the soldiers of the three major battalions? How to explain to the people of the world!?"

"Shut up, everyone!"

"The Holy Spirit has arrived..."

The two voices stunned the three Zhu Gaochi brothers.

Why does the old man's voice ring first and the eunuch's voice ring last?

No, when did the old man come back? Isn’t he still inspecting Shuntian Mansion?

They were surprised, but the three brothers Zhu Gaochi reacted quickly and retreated to both sides, kneeling down to salute.

"My sons pay homage to my father."×3.

"One prince and two vassal princes, what's the point of such a quarrel!?"

Zhu Di strode into the Wenhua Hall and sat in the centermost seat.

"Dad, when did you come back? Why don't you have any information..."

Zhu Gaochi looked at his two younger brothers and didn't expect them to stand up. He could only speak first.

Anyway, if they don't speak, the old man will have to start with him soon.

"Can I not come back!?" Zhu Di slammed the table, making the three brothers shrink their necks at the same time.

"One hundred thousand soldiers were buried in Mobei! Can I not come back if such a big thing happens!?"

The family atmosphere in the Zhu family has actually always been very good. Although there are constant fights and conflicts, they are still very harmonious on the surface. Zhu Di will basically not call himself me in front of his family.

Similarly, when he calls himself me, it proves that he is already angry, and it is quite serious.

"And the second child!" After spraying the boss, Zhu Di pointed his finger at the second child again.

"You're still talking about Qiu Fu!? Why, are you capable now!? Who doesn't know your dog-eating temperament!? How can I let you go!?"

"And the third child!"

"Don't shrink back either! Your camp is the tightest when it comes to fighting! It's the fastest at cleaning the battlefield! Do you think I don't know that!?"

A current crown prince, the executive deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty, two vassal princes, and a vassal prince who had made an outstanding contribution in the Battle of Jingnan, were being scolded by Zhu Di at this moment.

However, externally they were crown princes and vassal kings, but in front of Zhu Di they were sons.

As the saying goes, it is only natural for me to beat my son!

Naturally, Zhu Gaochi and the other three didn't dare to fart.
