First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 63



When Zhu Biao closed his eyes and rested his mind, Liu Jin led a group of court ladies and walked in with food boxes, and a series of delicacies with good color, fragrance and taste were placed in front of Zhu Biao.

Liu Jin looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with his eyes closed and meditated, and said, Master, it's time to eat.

In fact, Zhu Biao didn't have much appetite, but his body was developing, so he was always hungry, so he barely cheered up and had dinner.

Zhu Biao walked to the bed in a little confusion and lay down on the bed.

Yun Jin, who was warming the bed inside, whispered a few times, but Zhu Biao didn't have the energy to reply.

After sleeping until dawn the next day, Zhu Biao was full of energy again, youth is capital.

After washing up, Zhu Biao went to the Wenhua Palace to study the situation of Yanyun. Now there are more than 200,000 remnants in the sixteen prefectures, but there are not many scattered in the sixteen prefectures.

Moreover, Bo'er Zhijin Tuohuan Tiemuer led all the members of the Yuan Dynasty royal family to retreat to the grassland. The Yanyun Sixteen States did not have a commander, so the possibility of them being able to gather a crowd to resist was also very low.

After analyzing various conditions, Zhu Biao finally had a complete plan in mind.

These can actually be handed over to Liu Bowen and Chang Yuchun, and even if they arrange the battle, it will be better than Zhu Biao's.

But that would lose the meaning of Zhu Biao's planning for so long. His expedition this time is not only to recover the meritorious service of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, but more importantly, to show his ability to the military generals, so that those arrogant soldiers You will know that His Royal Highness knows military affairs!

Zhu Biao has been raised for ten years, and with the cooperation of Song Lian and other great Confucians, he has already had a good reputation in the hearts of scholars all over the world. These may not be reflected now, but it does not mean that they do not exist.

This time Zhu Biao wanted to make up for the last shortcoming for himself and lay the foundation for subduing the Xungui Group in the future.

So yesterday Chang Yuchun and Liu Bowen just watched him arrange matters, unless Zhu Biao asked, they would never intervene!

Zhu Biao thought about it silently for another half an hour, and he must be sure to be foolproof.

Liu Jin walked in holding a warm handkerchief and said to Zhu Biao, Master, King Kaiping and Uncle Chengyi have arrived, do you want them to come in?

Zhu Biao took it and wiped his face, cheered up and said, Come in, please, and make tribute tea later!

Liu Jin left as promised, Zhu Biao leaned on the chair and squeezed his little face, and then waited for Chang Yuchun and others to come in.

Seeing the three brothers from the Zhu family who came in first, they were stunned. The second child said with a smile, Brother, we met Uncle Chang and the others when we first arrived, so we came in together.

The third child tugged at his sleeve, then bowed together with Chang Yuchun and the others, I have seen the crown prince, Your Highness!

Zhu Biao nodded with a smile, raised his hand and said, Excuse me! Sit down.

Then he looked at the three brothers and asked, Why are you three here again? You think you were scolded badly enough yesterday!

The second child took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Biao, saying, The emperor sent this to the prince in the morning. He ordered us to hand it over to the prince. Brother, we haven't even looked at it!

Zhu Biao said with a smile: Since I asked you to hand it over to me, then my father didn't mean to hide it from you.

Reaching out to open the letter paper, there are only two lines in it: Let the second and third follow you to study for a few days, and wait for the second half of the year to go to Shandong with Xu Da. The fourth will follow you to the north, and we must strictly control them!

After Zhu Biao saw it, he said directly: Father means that you, the second and third, follow me first, and fight Wang Baobao with Uncle Xu in the second half of the year. The fourth and I will go north with me, and let me strictly restrain you.

Chang Yuchun said: Xu Shuai's leadership is as stable as Mount Tai, and the two Highnesses can learn a lot from following. I hereby congratulate the two Highnesses!

Sapphire and the others also congratulated.

The three brothers all had smiles on their faces, but after all they were young, and the surprise on their faces could not be hidden from these people.

Especially Zhu Di, who was already engaged to the Xu family, but this time he didn't follow his father-in-law. This was obviously because his father didn't want him to have too much contact with the Xu family.

Zhu Biao glanced at his younger brothers with different attitudes and ignored them. He asked Lan Yu and others to report on the affairs arranged yesterday.

Sapphire's inspection has only been carried out for a little while, so there is no problem at present. After all, the prince is leading the army, and no one dares to seize the prince's military supplies.

The Marquis of Ji'an cooperated with the officials of the household department to recruit nearly 100,000 horses and 50,000 camels as camel animals for transporting grain and grass.

Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, led a thousand Qingqi to scout the route yesterday.

Zhu Biao arranged for the remaining generals to manage the army stationed outside the city.

It takes time for the army to assemble, nearly 30,000 people have come from all over the country, and there are more than 100,000 on the way, and the remaining 100,000 are waiting in Shuntian Mansion.

Then I talked with them about the transportation of the army's luggage. After about an hour, Zhu Biao saw that it was almost done and served tea to see off the guests.

When they were all gone, Zhu Biao glanced at his brothers who were already a little confused, and said with a smile: How about it, isn't it interesting to fight?

The second prince Zhu Xi shook his head and said: Brother, I haven't heard you say anything about how to fight for an hour. They are all messy trivial matters!

The third prince Zhu Yan also said: That's right, let the people below do it. We are responsible for killing the enemy and destroying the army on the battlefield, and just attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold.

Only Zhu Di looked thoughtful, and Zhu Biaoyou shook his head and said: Wars are about logistics and military equipment. If there is no food and grass, 300,000 people will mutiny after starving for three days. Then why are you fighting? ?”

Zhu Biao said to his younger brothers: It's not the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty now. Individual bravery doesn't have much influence on the army. If you want to be independent in the future, you must learn to manage these things, otherwise you will only be a vanguard for the rest of your life.

The second child and the third child looked at each other and felt like crying without tears. Originally, they disliked the trouble of studying, so they thought about wielding knives and guns. I didn't expect to learn those things now, and it was even more troublesome!

Zhu Biao said unscrupulously: You also saw the face of the emperor yesterday, if you are still lazy, if the emperor finds out, then the brother will not be able to save you!

Zhu Biao was also very happy to see the two reluctance and a young boy who was in good spirits. It was rare for someone to come willingly to suffer.

He told them to go to Lanyu now to check the supplies together, and to live in the big camp outside the city for two days tomorrow to learn the flag orders with the soldiers, so as not to even understand the orders on the battlefield.

After seeing them off, it was noon, and Zhu Biao sent someone to inform him and went to Kunning Palace.

It has been several days since he visited his mother, and with the arrival of the army, he will definitely be busier and busier, so he should visit his mother while he is still free.
