Chapter five hundred and forty-five lost Zhu Di and lost the army
"Chongba, are you really relieved?" Empress Ma stretched out her hand, picked up Zhu Laosi, and handed him to the palace maid nearby. This little monkey was too noisy and delayed the serious business between their husband and wife.
"This time there are hundreds of thousands of troops, marching thousands of miles. If you don't lead the expedition yourself, I'm afraid something will happen!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Because it is the second time, I have the confidence. It is an expedition thousands of miles away, and home is more important. We have to worry about the front and not the back. The country is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things happening.
, after thinking about it, I still took care of my family, which is more important than anything else. As for the matters before the army, with Xu Da's caution, Chang Yuchun's bravery, and Hu Dahai's loyalty, I think everything will be fine."
Ma frowned and said hurriedly: "These three are all rare generals and warriors in the world, which is good. But when the three of them are put together, it's hard to say."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered slightly and said with a smile: "Young lady, do you want someone to keep an eye on them?"
Ma said: "If you don't want to go, then find someone more suitable."
Empress Ma's attitude is very resolute. The one who can succeed Lao Zhu and suppress the generals is undoubtedly Zhang Ximeng.
Apart from him, there will be no second choice.
"Sister, you see, Suzhou sent me to deal with Zhang Shicheng, and now we are asking him to supervise the troops in the Northern Expedition. We really can't bear it. Now that he has only one son, we are all in trouble, and he is not willing to take concubines.
, we can only work hard for Jiang Tiju. We finally got it together, and we can’t bear to let you go north at this time!"
Empress Ma thought for a while, "Hey, who says it's not the case! I also saw Shu Ning's child, he is honest and quiet, much better than the four of us. I also hope that your husband will have more children and spread his wings.
What a good thing." After Ma said this, he sighed again, "But in this situation, you have to stay in Yingtian. There are so many soldiers and horses, so many soldiers, and they are all in a mess. If there is no Zhang
I'm afraid you can't rest assured that your husband will be in charge of military affairs. Otherwise, let Jiang Tiju follow the mobilization of food, grass and baggage, and take care of your husband by the way. They can just be together as husband and wife."
Lao Zhu took a breath and suddenly smiled, "Sister, you are thoughtful, but my husband and Jiang Tiju are gone. What will happen to Shu Ning's child?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of greed, as if Zhu Bajie had seen the ginseng fruit... Empress Ma was startled, and suddenly understood what her husband meant, and couldn't help but stretch out her fist and hit Zhu Yuanzhang hard.
"Why are you so bad! You have to keep an eye on other people's children!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled innocently, "I can't help it, this kid is so good, we can't help but be greedy!"
Empress Ma sighed: "That's true. You have learned a lot, and Jiang Tiju is also a hero among women. Naturally, their child can't go wrong. So, just go and get the child, Chongba."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark and he couldn't help coughing: "Sister, you are confused too. If we can snatch the child... and bring it, why bother with it? You'd better go ahead, you are more suitable than us."
Empress Ma gave her husband a stern look, "You have your own evil thoughts and tricks. As a result, a woman is charged in the front. Are you still a man?"
Lao Zhu doesn't talk nonsense. Zhang Ximeng is too difficult to deal with. If he doesn't accept hard and soft words, we can only play the emotional card.
Ma thought for a while and then said: "Okay, I'll go, but I can't go alone! How about giving me the fourth child and taking him there, which can be considered as a disciple."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally agreed happily, so Zhang Ximeng could not refuse.
These two couples actually secretly discussed how to take Zhang Shuning away. Are you so confident? Is it possible to do the Northern Expedition to Dadu?
Nonsense, if he hadn't had this confidence, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have chosen to stay in Yingtian.
This battle is no longer in my favor. If Yuan Ting wants to keep Dadu, he must make at least three major strategic decisions right in a row... This is not over yet. The real difficulty is that every time Yuan Ting makes a decision, Ming must make a mistake.
.
After three rounds of this, they could barely keep most of the capital after making huge sacrifices.
This is so difficult that it is comparable to asking a writer to add more updates. It is simply an impossible task.
Of course, this does not mean that you can win by just doing it casually. You must ensure that you do not make mistakes.
When it comes to not making mistakes, Zhang Ximeng is even better than Zhu Yuanzhang.
So while all parties were actively preparing, Empress Ma took Zhu Di to see Zhang Ximeng.
Today, Zhu Di is wearing beautiful silk clothes, and the hair on his head is combed into two protrusions, as if he has a pair of horns.
The boy entered Zhang's house and happened to see a pony. Zhu Di couldn't walk anymore. He stared at it for a long time and suddenly grinned and cried, "Ride, ride a big horse, a big horse! Really, a real horse!"
I bet he thought riding Zhu Yuanzhang's fake horse was not satisfying, so he insisted on riding a real one.
This pony has quite some background. It was given by Zhu Ying. It is said that he brought it back to Zhu Ying to explore the situation in Yunnan, mainly to let Zhu Ying take a look at the cavalry situation in Yunnan.
Zhu Ying laughed when she saw it. This thing was too small, almost like a toy.
After he saw it, he bought it, sent it to Yingtian, and gave it to Zhang Shuning as a gift.
In the past, Zhang Ximeng wanted to receive gifts but couldn't, but now it's better. After having this little kid, the gifts have skyrocketed. The father actually borrowed his son's honor. Where can I reason with him?
Empress Ma dragged Zhu Di, a hopeless little crybaby, to meet Zhang Ximeng and his wife.
"Sir, the fourth child is so naughty. Your Majesty is also very worried. He is afraid that he will trouble you again in the future."
Zhang Ximeng blinked his eyes. To be honest, this Zhu Laosi really didn't look very impressive. He cried all over the place just for a pony, but he had no future.
Logically speaking, Zhang Ximeng was not qualified to be his disciple, but out of curiosity, Zhang Ximeng agreed.
"I can only do my best."
Queen Ma was overjoyed and said, "Just do your best!"
Seeing that Mr. Zhang agreed, Queen Ma decided to pursue the victory and resolve the important matters together.
"Sir, these days, you are all discussing the Northern Expedition. I told Chongba that he wants to stay in Yingtian and sit in front of the army. There must be no one in front of the army. Only Mr. Zhang can suppress it, so I will tell Chongba
Recommended sir... you won’t blame me, will you?”
Zhang Ximeng said quickly: "The Queen is joking, I am bound to do this."
Ma was even more delighted, and then said: "Sir, what Chongba means is that you don't need to face the enemy in person, as long as you sit behind and guard immediately. I think it hasn't been too long since you and Jiang Nan got married. They always get together less and stay apart more.
Empress Ma smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. I used to be in the army too? Jiang Nan is very capable and handles heavy military affairs. There's nothing wrong with that. Why don't you ask Jiang Nan what he wants?"
Jiang Nan next to me said hurriedly: "I have also rested for a long time. It is my duty to come out and do things again."
Ma was ecstatic. Step by step, the couple had taken the bait.
Next, all you need to do is say that you are leaving, and I will help take care of the house, and you can easily take Zhang Shuning away. It’s perfect!
But just when she was about to open her mouth, Jiang Nan suddenly said: "I am accompanying Prime Minister Zhang to the front of the army, and there is no one to take care of me at home... It just so happens that my eldest brother came to Beijing. My parents are also here. Why don't you just let me go?"
Come here and take care of the children for us!"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "What Madam is saying is that I am alone now. Your parents are my parents. They are also well-educated and sensible. They can also do business and take care of a child. It is more than enough. They say that we are close relatives in the next generation. Maybe they are better than us."
They can also take care of the children!"
Jiang Nan chuckled, "Don't worry, they will definitely be able to do the job."
Zhang Ximeng nodded and then said: "Queen, our family has made arrangements and we can leave at any time."
Queen Ma was stunned, that's not what the script said!
Who knew Jiang Nan had moved her parents here?
"This... this child can't live without a playmate. He is just one, so he will inevitably be lonely. Just like Zhu Di, he chases several brothers every day. He is really indispensable when the palace is in chaos."
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Queen, it's a good thing that Your Highness is more lively. But as a prince, he should be smart and studious, and he should be taught from an early age. Since he has become a master, he might as well come here often when he is free. Although I am not here, my father-in-law and the others are here.
Here, Jiang Ke is also a well-educated man who has passed the imperial examination. I also have Gao Qi and others in my house, who come here often. If His Highness comes more often, we may get some benefits."
When Queen Ma heard this, she was even more stunned. What does this mean?
I wanted to take away your baby, but not only did I fail, but I also had to take another one?
This is not a huge loss!
Before Queen Ma could refuse, Zhang Ximeng smiled and said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, I have a horse riding here, would you like to come over?"
Zhu Di blinked his eyes, Zhang Ximeng made a horseback riding movement, and the boy immediately surrendered.
"Yes, I want to ride a horse! Ride a real horse!"
Queen Ma was so embarrassed that she had no choice but to say to Zhang Ximeng with a sullen face: "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you."
After saying a few polite words, Ma dragged Zhu Di away in embarrassment.
Zhang Ximeng and Jiang Nan looked at each other and both showed proud smiles.
"Your Majesty has a wonderful plan!"
Zhang Ximeng also said: "Madam, you actually thought of asking your father-in-law and mother-in-law to come over for help. This move of yours is really powerful!"
I bet they were both prepared for it. Zhang Ximeng guessed that Lao Zhu would not go on the expedition, so he had a premonition that he would supervise the army. Jiang Nan had no other intentions, she just wanted to come back and do something.
Continuing to circle around the child, she was afraid that she would become useless.
The couple has something to do, what about the children?
Although there are not many bad guys who covet the Zhang family's young master, they are quite powerful, so you must not be careful.
As a result, after a short brainstorm, Jiang Nan came up with a way to call her parents. It was okay if her parents didn't come for the time being, so she called Jiang Ke and asked her uncle to take care of her nephew. It was natural!
"Madam, do you think this is my lord's clever plan to bring peace to the world? He has lost his son and lost his army?"
