"He doesn't. If he were to fight in the West at that time, how could he care about the floods at home for his eldest brother's descendants?" Zhu Di gave Zhu Su a red look.
He clenched his fists: "How can a Chinese man lose to the Western Barbarians? He will die on the way to the Western Expedition! Then Alexander went all the way to the East and died. If he gave up halfway and came back to seize the throne, wouldn't he teach the future generations of Tiandong
A joke?"
"Unless all the territory in the west is wiped out, there is nowhere else to go, and the vassal state is almost managed, then can we return to Fengyang to retire..."
"Besides, when that time comes, how will he be of any use?" Zhu Laosi patted Zhu Laowu's shoulder, and with his heart gone, he smiled at Zhu Su: "If there is such a time, then wouldn't it be me?
?”
"...I don't want to harm him." Zhu Su rolled his red eyes. "He has no intention of seizing power."
"If the descendants of eldest brother are really like Zhu Yunzhen and want to kill their vassal king, then he would rather live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, or go boating on the sea."
"I don't want to establish a vassal state?" Zhu Di asked curiously. "My father is not afraid of me. I'm asking him for a troop of troops. How about Yuanji finding a place to establish a vassal state?"
"He doesn't." Zhu Su leaned against the city wall with his legs behind his head. "Establishing a feudal vassal and a country...that would be so tiring."
"He would rather be a useless idle king, go around the stage and listen to music... Wouldn't that be good?"
"King of idleness?" Zhu Di seemed to have heard some big joke. "With my troublesome temperament of worrying about everything, can I be the king of idleness?"
"Several craftsmen in the East Leg District were killed, and I became red-eyed; the people in Susong had no food to eat, so I rolled up my sleeves and went to look for profiteers to rob... If there really is such a great nephew who dares to cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty, I
Wouldn't you be the first one to rush to Fengtian Palace and seek his life?"
"...Uh." Zhu Su was speechless for a moment. He wanted to retort, but he didn't know how to speak. He really wanted to be the free king, but if he couldn't bear to see the people of China suffer, that would be untrue.
It was rare to travel through time, and if he didn't do something for the nation he deeply loved, he would always worry that that respectable and ruthless great nation would still be trampled by the iron hooves of foreign nations in the future... Until now, he also
I don’t know if my obsession with being a free king is so deep that I want to make that nation stronger. That obsession is so deep.
Seeing Zhu Su thoughtfully, Zhu Di had a sly smile on his face.
He didn't continue to press Weng Zhen, so he laughed at himself: "When he said that, it seemed as if he was cursing his eldest brother to die young... According to that, eldest brother should live a long life.
That's good. It's best to live longer than their brothers. With my eldest brother and dad here, they don't have to worry about anything."
"Yeah." Zhu Su nodded in agreement. Indeed, the lifespans of the cheap old man, Lao Zhu, and the eldest brother, Zhu Biao, are directly related to how long the Ming Dynasty can continue to maintain stability and rise.
As for today's China, the stability of the Ming Dynasty is the most important prerequisite and guarantee for the Chinese nation to recover the vitality destroyed by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, regain its glory in the past, and even reach new heights.
"If you want to conquer the west, you have to deal with Meng Yuan first..." Zhu Di looked to the west and murmured to himself. Then he turned to Zhu Su and said with a smile: "In that case, I think there are more than 10,000 people outside the city.
Thieves are no longer worth mentioning."
"Compared to the Meng Yuan and even the endless Western Barbarians, these thieves and bandits are nothing more than childish. At this time, he was impatient to fight with them, and he thought of the Northern Xinjiang front line and went to meet the Meng Yuan for a while."
"Fourth brother, please take it easy." Zhu Su also laughed. "At our age, it is already considered good to have sex with a bandit like Zhang Li in the battle formation."
"That's it, civil servants like Ru Taisu still watch their children closely, worried that they are playing tricks on them."
"I want to beg you to pay Meng Yuan and wait for a few more years. If you really want to get my father's consent and ask me to lead the army to the west, then I don't know if it's the year of the monkey or the month of the horse, so I can concentrate on solving the bandits outside the city first."
"I'm very sorry that I flirted with him, but now I'm pouring cold water on him." Zhu Di gave Zhu Su a red look. He couldn't help but look to the west again, as if he wanted to see through the heavy clouds and mist.
What is the landscape of the Western world like?
"Hey, I wish I could be like Alexander the Great and spread his glory all over China. I wish I didn't have to fight the Meng Yuan first and take care of them earlier."
"Just wait." Zhu Su patted his fourth brother's legs and arms, feeling relieved.
The way Zhu Laosi looks now, it seems that his spirit has returned.
At this time, the two brothers did not expect that the mismatch with Meng Yuan, who they thought was very far away, turned out to be just a few months later.
The weather in Suzhou was rainy, but it was a bit rainy that month. The east city wall was there, and sure enough, another attack by Zhang Li and the Japanese bandits was launched. This time they did not send civilians. I wonder if they could not come within a few miles of the city in time.
All the civilians who took refuge had been arrested before.
With no civilians at their disposal, the rebels launched several feint attacks against the city wall. After hastily throwing away dozens of corpses, they retreated to their camp to hide from the rain.
The warlike soldiers guarding the city wall, as well as the group of scholars and civilians in the east of the city who were ready to help at any time, made them feel quite uneasy. They were because of the Kongming Lantern Memorial Ceremony last month and that day.
Song "Song of Lime", I am holding my breath in my chest. I wish the thieves would just swarm over me and drink some good tea to vent their anger.
The general guarding the city, Cao Yuan, came to ask Zhu Su for instructions: "To the east of the five palaces, the troops in the east are as powerful as a rainbow. If the military morale is available, can we allow the last general to lead a surprise army tomorrow night and sneak out of the city to attack the enemy's camp?"
"The last general is willing to issue an order for the Eastern Army. If there is no capture, please take the last general's head!"
"Hmm." Zhu Su looked at the bandits who had retreated to the camp, and touched Dongba by himself. The rain and fog in the bright moon blocked his vision, so he couldn't see clearly any movement of the thieves. The bandits in Mingyue still chose to feint attack.
They suffered a little loss and then stopped fighting. From this point of view, they were still adhering to the plan of "feigning attacks to attract attention, and then cooperating inside and outside to attack the south of the city."
"General Cao is so determined, how can I refuse to allow it?" In short, the morale should be boosted and not let down. Zhu Sucuo knelt down on the ground and said to Cao Yuan. "Originally, there will be a big action tomorrow night. Whether the thieves are defeated or not, that's all.
Tomorrow night."
"The general will go and select his troops. He will be of great use tomorrow night."
"No!" Cao Yuan was overjoyed, thinking that Zhu Su had agreed to his going out to attack the city at night, so he happily went to select his troops. Zhu Su turned to look at Shaoxuan, the Jinyiwei behind him: "Captain Shao, have we, Jinyiwei, really joined forces outside the city?
Are you in contact with Brother Chang and the others?"
"Don't worry, Fifth Hall East." Shao Xuan, who looked ordinary, nodded lightly. "He, the Jin Yiwei, has his own way of Jin Yiwei."
"There is nothing wrong with this matter. They have received a reply message from Duke Chang Guo. They will arrive outside the south city gate at the fourth watch tomorrow night."
"That's very good!" Zhu Su looked outside the city, unfolded his folding fan, and the four words "catching turtles in an urn" were revealed on the surface of the fan.
"Now that the urn is ready, all we have to do is wait for those stinky fish and shrimps outside the city to swim in obediently!"
