Chapter 34 The future of the future
After the deep horn sounded, the old man got off the general platform, took the bag handed over by Zhu Gaoxu, and got on his horse.
Seeing the old man taking the lead, followed by his father and third uncle, and the rest of the generals finally following up, Zhu Zhanhe's eyes suddenly filled with envy.
The old man is about to take the oath of office, but it's a pity that he can't follow...
No, it's not just him, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji is also like this.
They are still too young. Although they can ride horses, their physical conditions are not good. Although Xinghe is not Tatar territory yet, if there is any trouble, the army will be in chaos.
"The Ming army is mighty!"
While Zhu Zhanhe was still wandering in the sky, Zhu Di, who had already rushed into the military formation, drew out his saber and roared into the sky.
"The general is mighty!" The soldiers' response was astonishing, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies.
"The Ming army is mighty!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Ming army is mighty!"
"Long live!"
…
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the trembling Zhu Zhanhe, Zhu Zhanji on the side thought that his cousin had some hidden illness, so he nervously came over.
"Cousin, I'm fine." Zhu Zhanhe finally controlled the trembling of his body.
In later generations, some people always say that the battlefield is a man's romance.
Zhu Zhanhe had no feeling about this before, and even thought it was a bit ridiculous, because in his view, the battlefield is a place where one defends one's family and one's country, where one sweats like rain and sheds blood.
The word romance really doesn't match the battlefield.
But now, Zhu Zhanhe realized that he was wrong.
The battlefield has always been romantic, but it just varies from person to person, just like him.
The battlefields of later generations were all about confrontations of hot weapons, and the war was already coming to an end before the two sides even met. How could such a battlefield be romantic?
But now, in this era when Zhu Zhanhe seems to be extremely backward, war is truly romantic.
When the old man's words "The Ming Dynasty is mighty" resounded throughout the three armies, Zhu Zhanhe felt something in his heart was ignited. And when the soldiers of the three armies roared "Long live the Ming Dynasty" in unison, Zhu Zhanhe felt that this was true romance.
It is a pity that there are too many hundreds of thousands of people, and the old man in the center of the army cannot shout at the top of his voice all the time. Zhu Zhanhe, who is under the general stage, cannot hear the rest of the words.
Zhu Zhanhe was very sorry that he could not hear how the old man mobilized the blood of the soldiers.
"Zhanhe, do you like it very much?" Zhu Zhanji on the side also noticed the fascinated expression on Zhu Zhanhe's face and couldn't help but ask.
"Like it? That's natural!" Zhu Zhanhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation.
"Why?" Zhu Zhanji immediately asked.
"This is war, and people will die at every turn. When we come back here again, we don't know how many of these soldiers will be left. Even you and I may not be here. Why do you like it?"
Now Zhu Zhanji has just begun to accept the training of Emperor Yongle. Although he is influenced by his family background in terms of scheming, overall he is still relatively simple.
Zhu Zhanhe still remembered what the old man said before his last northern tour, saying that the emperor and his grandchildren had grown up in deep palaces since childhood and did not know the cruelty of war or the hardships of farming, so he decided to take Zhu Zhanhe with him.
Let’s tour the north together with Zhanji.
Now Zhu Zhanji may be a little cautious, but not much.
At the very least, he can't compare to Zhu Zhanhe, who has lived in two generations.
"Really?" Zhu Zhanhe laughed off his cousin's words.
"But, there has been no undead war since ancient times, right? Without the continuous support of these soldiers, where would the mountains and rivers of Rilang and the stability of the world be?"
Zhu Zhanji was startled when he heard this, and he couldn't control the expression on his face.
When Zhu Zhanhe saw this, he just smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the Ming soldiers with high morale seriously.
The benefits of personal conquest are reflected here.
Although it is unlikely that the Ninth Five-Year Master goes to the battlefield in person, wearing a strong sword and risking his own life, just sitting in the rear can greatly boost the morale of the soldiers. Such soldiers are not only invincible, but can at least increase their winning rate by 30%.
.
However, everything in the world has two sides, and no matter what it is, it is impossible to have only advantages and no disadvantages.
For example, there is a famous person in history called Men Tianzi and Zhu Qizhen, an overseas student from Wala.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but turn his head and look at his cousin.
Although he rarely entered the palace and rarely cared about such matters, Zhu Zhanhe still knew about his cousin's situation.
It is now the eighth year of Yongle, and my cousin's future queen... No, I should say the future of the future.
In the beginning, Concubine Taisun was not the Empress Xiaogongsun.
After returning from the Northern Expedition this time, the Sun family should be about to enter the palace, right? Do you want to intervene?
Zhu Zhanhe was a little hesitant.
He didn't know the name of Queen Sun, and there was no clear record in history. The so-called Sun Ruowei was just a name given by movies and TV shows. In fact, there were only three recorded names of women in the entire Ming Dynasty.
They are the empress of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Xiao Cigao, Ma Xiuying, the first empress of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Hu Shanxiang of Gongrangzhang, and Guo Ai, a talented woman of the Ming Dynasty and beloved concubine of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Dynasty.
Yes, the Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years, and only three women left their names.
However, after thinking about it, Zhu Zhanhe felt that it was better to stay away from Empress Xiaogongsun who would be dubbed the Demon Queen by netizens in later generations.
As for my cousin... he can make a lot of money, but if he can't...
Then forget it!
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanji had been immersed in the words of his cousin Zhu Zhanhe before, and he only reacted now.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he reacted, what he saw was his cousin's strange look.
It seems to be a sigh, or it seems to be...
mercy?
Zhu Zhanji felt that he might have seen it wrong.
"Nothing." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head.
"I was just wondering if I should take my darlings out for a walk later. They've been suffocated during this period."
…
Zhu Zhanji felt that he couldn't understand his cousin more and more.
The front leg still said such profound and thought-provoking words, but the back leg was dragged to the dog.
"How did you do it?" Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"How did you convince Grandpa Huang to allow you to bring the dog here?"
The army went out for an expedition. This was no picnic. No one expected that Zhu Zhanhe would bring the twelve blue and white dogs with him, and no one expected that Zhu Di would actually agree.
This thing sounds outrageous, but it's not that outrageous.
It's just a very awkward and contradictory feeling.
