Chapter 16 Zhu Yuanzhang's Generals

Chapter 16 Zhu Yuanzhang’s Generals

The group of people passed by the Nanjing Old Campus and the Qinhuai River. However, there was a development process for the Qinhuai River to become the place for fireworks in Nanjing. The main booster was actually the Nanjing Imperial College Students. It was like there were many small schools next to the university.

Just like in a hotel, young people's hormones are hard to control.

However, now that Zhu Yuanzhang is in power, he has very high requirements for the Nanjing Imperial College. The prison regulations are very strict. These Nanjing Imperial College students should not talk about picking up girls. If they do not do well in their homework, they will be pinned to the ground and beaten.

When will the Imperial College student supervision regulations be relaxed, so many Imperial College students will miss the place of fireworks and dye the Qinhuai River into a place of fireworks.

When the group turned to the street leading to Jubao Gate, it was even more prosperous. Jubao Gate is one of the main gates of Nanjing. Xu Da would also enter the city from Jubao Gate. The dock outside Jubao Gate is where merchants from the north and south gather.

It can be said to be the most prosperous place in the world.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the prince and sent officials to clear the way ahead, they would probably be stuck here.

It's not that these people dared to block the prince's way. In fact, people can obey orders, but there are so many carriages and animals, but they can't understand people's words.

When the prince saw this, he frowned slightly. He called an official and said, "Wei Guogong will be here in a moment. This won't work. Send an order. Let each village clear this road and seal it for two hours."

"Yes." the official said.

When the prince saw He Xi looking at him, he said: "It doesn't matter if I am alone. But the Duke of Wei is fighting for the country, and the court cannot but treat him politely. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers on the front line. Although it is inconvenient for the people, it has to be done.

.”

He Xi said: "Your Highness's benevolence, Duke Wei will definitely be moved by it."

The prince smiled and said: "Uncle Xu actually doesn't matter. We are all one family. However, it's not just Uncle Xu who is coming back this time. Some things are hard to do."

He Xi was about to ask, besides Xu Da, who else came back from Peiping this time? But his eyes widened. A majestic city gate was right in front of him. This was not another city gate. It was not until six hundred years later.

, when the Japanese invaded China, the main gate of Nanjing City, Jubao Gate, which could still withstand Japanese heavy artillery bombardment, was later called the Zhonghua Gate.

For a moment, He Xi had the illusion of traveling through time and space.

It seemed that history was flowing through the Jubao Gate in an instant. The Jubao Gate in front of him overlapped with the Chinese Gate in later generations. This vicissitudes of the city gate silently watched the changes in the world. He Xi suddenly felt that he seemed to have to do something

Something. Only by doing something can I feel that my journey during the Hongwu period is worthwhile.

The Jubao Gate has just been built for more than ten years, but I didn't know that it would be bombarded by Japanese heavy artillery in the future. At this moment, it is showing its majestic and majestic posture to the world.

After leaving the Jubao Gate, you will find Changganli. It is the Changganli described by countless literati.

Changganli is south of the Qinhuai River, but during the construction of the city wall in the Ming Dynasty, part of Changganli was included in the city. Changganli became a goods distribution center, especially outside the city, where Zhu Yuanzhang built hundreds of collapsed houses.

.The so-called collapsed house is a warehouse.

Many commodities are transported from north to south and do not enter Nanjing city at all. They stay here for storage and look for buyers.

The government built dilapidated houses to facilitate the coming and going of merchants, but more importantly, to collect taxes. However, this method was almost a formality in the late Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, around these dilapidated houses, there is a prosperous area outside the city.

The group of people stopped at Changganli Pier.

In front of you is the Qinhuai River. Generally speaking, the Qinhuai River is a tributary of this river. It is also the moat of Nanjing City.

He Xi was riding on the horse, one horse behind the prince. Looking at the sparkling river, the boats and ships on it were a little crowded. He did not see Xu Da and his party. He said: "Your Highness, when will Wei Guogong arrive?"

The prince said: "You don't know Uncle Xu. Uncle Xu can't be more cautious and humble. He must have arrived at this moment. It's just a few miles away. He won't come here until I get here."

It almost said that Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

As soon as the prince finished speaking, he pointed his finger and said, "Look, isn't this coming?"

He Xi immediately looked to the north, and saw that at the end of his sight, there seemed to be a few more white sails. All the boats on the river, large and small, were informed by people in small boats to stay aside, and a dozen large boats came emptying out.

These ships are not small. They have tiger heads painted on their bows, making them look extremely majestic.

After a while, the ship had docked.

A long pallet was built on the pier. The leader was wearing a python robe and the color of a duke. His face had ridges and ridges, and his cheekbones were prominent. He was a bit skinny. If you don't look at this person's appearance, he looked like a prince.

It reminded He Xi of any old man playing chess in the village.

Who knew that he was the world-famous Duke of Wei, Xu Da.

When Xu Da saw the prince, he immediately took a few steps forward. After three or five steps, he was about to salute. The prince immediately turned over and dismounted, took a few steps to support Xu Da and said, "Uncle Xu, why do you do this? If you do this, I will kill you."

nephew."

Xu Da looked at the prince with kind eyes, but he said: "The prince's words are wrong. There are no uncles or nephews in the court, only monarchs and ministers. The etiquette of monarchs and ministers cannot be abolished."

Just like this, Xu Da insisted on saluting, but the prince did not dare to accept the ceremony. He pushed back and forth several times. Finally, Xu Da gave a half salute, and the prince accepted it.

However, only Xu Da received this kind of treatment. The generals behind Xu Da, such as Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Mu Ying, etc., could only obediently pay homage.

He Xi could actually see that the relationship between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang's family was really good. Xu Dafei wanted to salute the prince not because he was flattering, but because he was worried that the proud soldiers behind him would not give the prince face. So he had to lay the groundwork first.

To establish prestige for the prince and make the people behind him dare not underestimate the prince.

He doesn't pay much attention to his own face or anything like that.

After the prince said these rituals, the prince introduced He Xi to Xu Da and his party, saying: "This is He Xi, who works as a secretary to the father. He is the father's old friend. He never leaves day and night."

He Xi immediately stepped forward to salute and said: "He Xi, a junior from my school, pays homage to Duke Wei."

He Xi looked at Xu Da and had a feeling that it was hard to live up to his reputation. He thought that Xu Da, who was like a god in military use, would at least be mighty and domineering even if he didn't look like a feather fan and silk scarf. But he didn't want to look like an old farmer.

.

Xu Da looked at He Xi, and for a moment, many people's faces flashed across his face since the army was launched in Huaixi.

Without him, in his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang's old friend was almost his own old friend. This should be the orphan of the old brother. Just looking around, he could not see the figure of the old brother on He Xi's face. Especially

His surname is He.

Xu Da couldn't even remember who it was?

Could it be that he is His Majesty's illegitimate son?

Xu Da couldn't help but think of this. But then Xu Da suppressed this thought, because Xu Da knew Zhu Yuanzhang too well. Regardless of whether it was true or not, this was not something he couldn't think about.

Xu Da said: "Good boy, not bad."

Then the prince accepted him to Fu Youde.

He Xi saluted as before, but Fu Youde felt a little distant from him and only exchanged a few words.

To be honest, in He Xi's opinion, Fu Youde's image is more like the image of an ancient military general. Fu Youde has black hair and a black beard, and his beard looks like he is showing his teeth and claws. He has big shoulders and a round waist, and his eyes are like torches. When he walks, he has the domineering air of a general.

But in front of Xu Da, who looked like an old farmer, he didn't dare to be a little presumptuous.

Then He Xi met Feng Sheng again.

Feng Sheng's original name was Feng Guosheng. In order to avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's taboo, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his name to Feng Sheng. In fact, Feng Sheng followed his brother Feng Guoyong to follow Zhu Yuanzhang. And Feng Guoyong was the one who suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that Jinling should be the basis.

people.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang died before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne. He was only thirty-six years old when he died. If Feng Guoyong had not died, his achievements may not be as good as Li Shanchang.

Feng Sheng is an honest person. He has the air of an elder. He makes people feel very friendly.

Finally, there is Mu Ying.

Mu Ying did not meet He Xi at all. He Xi saluted Mu Ying and said, "He Xi has met the Marquis of Xiping."

At this moment, Mu Ying is only in her thirties, which is the golden age for a man, and he looks more majestic and heroic. Mu Ying said, "You just want to call me Marquis of Xiping?"

He Xi was stunned, not knowing where he had gone wrong. Now Mu Ying only has the title of Marquis of Xiping. This title is correct.

Mu Ying said: "Your Majesty told the prince to treat you like his own brother. Then when you see me, you should call me elder brother."

Mu Yingcai was the first adopted son adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang. When he was a child, he brought up the prince Zhu Biao and several other children. He was very loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao. He treated her as a family. Therefore, since Zhu Yuanzhang asked the prince to

He Xi regards him as his brother, so Mu Ying is He Xi's eldest brother.

Of course, Mu Ying also had another idea in doing this. That was to position He Xi as the adopted son or orphan adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang gave He Xi an identity. There are many people who don't believe it. But there are no doubters. Mu Ying doesn't care whether He Xi is Zhu Yuanzhang's illegitimate son. Anyway, such a positioning makes He Xi's identity impossible.

There are disturbing associations.

And even if He Xi is Zhu Yuanzhang's illegitimate son, having a prince and Mu Ying as a brother to take care of him in this life is not a bad treatment.

Under such circumstances, how could He Xi say "no"? It would be too disrespectful. Moreover, He Xi also felt that Mu Ying was different from other generals. Mu Ying's foundation was in the palace, otherwise these things would not be possible.

How could Mu Ying know? She said: "Brother."

"Good brother." Mu Ying patted He Xi's shoulder generously and said, "My eldest brother shot a tiger in Peiping. The most valuable thing is that he shot it through the mouth and killed him with one arrow. There was not even a single eye in the tiger's skin. Just give it away.

I gave it to my brother as a greeting gift."

Seeing that everyone in the group had met, the prince smiled and said, "Okay. My father is waiting in the palace. Let's go quickly."
