Recalling the past youthful years, they are full of brotherly love between young men.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying treated these adopted sons as their own children and treated them as members of the family. And these Zhu Yuanzhang's biological sons did not treat these brothers and sisters of the opposite sex as outsiders.
Hearing Zhu Di talk about the time when he beat him, Ping Baoer said with some embarrassment, "I was young and ignorant back then..."
"You're still panting when I say you're fat?" Zhu Di laughed and said, "The more I talk about you, the more you make these false gestures!" After saying that, he punched Ping An on the shoulder and said with some loneliness, "In these years, we brothers have met each other.
The days are getting fewer and fewer!”
I was moved by peace, and the Ming Tiger Ben next to me was also slightly moved.
After all, King Yan is a prince, and he is the adopted son of the emperor. There is a difference between king and minister. But now King Yan is still as close to him as he was when he was a child, and his heart feels warm.
The eyes of those Ming tiger tigers looking at King Yan were much softer, even with some admiration. This was the famous King of Sai in the Ming Dynasty. He guarded Beiping and went on several expeditions. He was far away in the north and fled.
Not only did King Yan have outstanding military exploits, but he was also so easy-going, which is really commendable.
"Look at you!" Zhu Di pointed at Ping An's waist and said with a smile, "If you stay in the capital, your waist will become thicker." As he said this, he patted Ping An's armor and said, "I'll ask dad for permission later. You come with me to Peking."
.You are good at martial arts, and you are not bad at military strategy. Let's fight the Tatars with real swords and guns. Good man, what's the point of staying in the capital to retire?"
Ping An smiled and said nothing. He is the Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and controls a part of the troops in the capital. It looks like he is providing for the elderly, but in fact he has important responsibilities. He also wants to make contributions, but whether he can go out depends on the old emperor.
thought.
Besides, he knew very well that the old prince did not want his son and his sons to get involved together. Especially those of them who could fight.

At this time, Zhu Di turned around and scolded, "What are you still doing on the horse? Come down and call someone!"
Among the cavalry behind him, two young men who were no more than 10 years old, actually jumped off the horse like the Mongolians who grew up on horseback outside the Great Wall and came over with a smile.
Although the two of them are young, their brows are full of heroic spirit, like two little tigers, fearless of heaven and earth. Both of them are dressed in small armor, and they look like King Yan in every gesture.
And although these two people are young, their appearance and vitality immediately outshine all the young princes in the palace.
"Second child, third child!" Zhu Di said, "I'll give you a courtesy from Uncle Ping!"
"I've met Uncle Ping!" The two of them saluted respectfully.
"You can't do it!" Ping An hurriedly pulled up one by one.
The answer to who these two young men are is already clear. They are the second son Zhu Gaoxu and the third son Zhu Gaosui of King Zhu Di of Yan. (The two are now twelve and nine years old.)
"What can't be done!" Zhu Di said with a smile, "They are just lucky enough to be born into the Zhu family. But even if they are born into the Zhu family, they are still your juniors!"
Just as Ping An was about to say a few words of humility, he felt the dagger on his waist move. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was Zhu Gaoxu who was looking curiously at the weapon on his waist.
The style of the short knife was different from the original one. It was a treasure presented by the large food merchants from Quanzhou Port who came from thousands of miles away.
Although the knife is short, it has a graceful arc. The handle is made of gilt gold and is inlaid with a ruby the size of a cat's eye. The scabbard is exquisitely made and inlaid with gems.
"Do you like this?" Ping An smiled and took it off, "Can you handle it?"
"Uncle Ping looks down on people?" Zhu Gaoxu reached out for it with bright eyes and said, "Not to mention the short sword, I can even dance with the army's long sword!"
"Here you go!" Ping An gave it to him with a smile, "Be careful, it's sharp, don't hurt yourself!"
Brushing, Zhu Gaoxu directly pulled out half of it. The cold blade of the short knife reflected each other with his shining eyes.
"Uncle Ping is really looking down on people!" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't put it down and said proudly, "I can ride a horse and shoot arrows at the age of seven, and I can go hunting with guards at the age of seven. I can shoot at least thirty rabbits and mice in a day!"
Ping An was slightly surprised and said with a smile, "It's true that a tiger father has no dog son!"
Beside him, Zhu Di also smiled proudly.
Zhu Gaoxu played with the dagger and said again, "Next year I will shoot fifty!"
"Okay, okay, you are ambitious!" Ping An gave a thumbs up.
Zhu Di's third son, Zhu Gaosui, felt a little dissatisfied when he saw that his brother had obtained a treasured sword and was praised by adults.
He said disdainfully, "Bragging! Forgot that last month you didn't shoot thirty, and you borrowed a few from me?" Then he snorted, "Fifty? Don't be afraid if you can't shoot.
Dad kicked you?"
"I'll beat you up!" Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed drastically and he was about to take action on the spot.
"Dad, look at second brother!" Zhu Gaosui swung and hid behind Zhu Di.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di did not protect him, but just slipped him out, "If he beats you, you won't fight back? What are you using your fists for? Go ahead and hit him at the same time!"
This scene made Ping An look a little dazed.
It should be noted that it is a Mongolian tradition to practice archery on horseback since childhood. The reason why they are so good at archery is because there are many hares and field mice on the grassland. Since childhood, they have been practicing with those small things every day.
I just didn't expect that Zhu Gaoxu, the grandson of the emperor, would be raised like this by King Yan. Moreover, King Yan did not teach his son any respect for brothers, friends, and brothers. This was completely the way of raising children by barbarians.
"Children are used to being beaten at home!" Zhu Di said with a smile, "It's funny!"
"Where, where!" Ping An also said with a smile, "Prince Yan, where is your boss?"
King Yan had three sons in total, and there was supposed to be an eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, but he didn't see it when he went there.
"Boss is too fat to ride a horse. He is sitting in a carriage behind him!" Zhu Gaosui hid behind Zhu Di again and said.
"Then His Royal Highness, King Yan, went to the city and is still waiting here!" Ping An thought about it and asked.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then walked to the pavilion and sat down, "Wait! But you are not waiting for my boss!"
Ping An asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
"Brother Seventeen!" Zhu Di pondered and murmured, "Logically speaking, he should be here too!"
Hearing this, Ping An's eyes flickered for a moment and then returned to calm.
The seventeenth son of the emperor was Zhu Quan, King of Ning. He became a vassal in the 21st year of Hongwu, and his fiefdom was Daning, a border gate.
Daning is the outpost of the Northern Yuan Dynasty heading south. It is located outside Xifengkou and belongs to the land of ancient Huizhou. It is connected to Liaozuo in the east and Xuanfu in the west. It is a large town.
In order to fight for this place, Dukes Feng Sheng, Lan Yu and others of the Song Dynasty came out of the border one after another. They recruited Han Chu, the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and then fought for years, finally killing Azha Shili, the king of the Liao Dynasty in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Tabin Timur, the king of Huining.
Wait for someone to settle down.
Daning is a large town in the Ming Dynasty, with tens of thousands of armored soldiers. In addition, there are also the three Duoyan guards who are the most brave and good at fighting.
Although Ning Wang Zhu Quan was only fifteen years old, he was smart and studious since childhood, and was deeply loved by the emperor. As a young vassal king at the border, he did not have the timidity of a young man at all. On the contrary, his generals praised him for his courage and strategy.
"Prince Yan wants to wait for Prince Ning!" Ping An thought to himself, "Could it be that they often interact with each other on weekdays?"
As the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Ping'an not only has the responsibility of controlling the troops and horses of the Beijing camp, but is also responsible for mobilizing local troops and horses. In fact, he is mostly on guard against these border fortress kings who support their troops.
Now at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers and horses of the capital took turns to fight in battles to ensure that the soldiers were elite. If the peace lasted for a long time, the soldiers and horses of the capital would not see blood, but if the soldiers and horses of the King of Sai were seen to be strong, they might not be serving the country.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt the ground beneath my feet shaking.
If King Yan's troops and horses were like thunder just now, then the cavalry coming at full speed at this moment are like dark clouds pressing down on the formation, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
In the smoke and dust, a banner of King Ning stood high. Countless warriors wearing leather armor and ferocious faces, as if they were walking out of a violent snowstorm in the north, with cold eyes, surrounded a young prince wearing a golden crown and a golden helmet, riding a horse.
Coming galloping.
Zhu Di stood up in an instant and stared at the oncoming cavalry with burning eyes.
But those brave cavalrymen, after seeing the situation around the pavilion, still kept running. However, the high-speed impact suddenly split into two sides.
After turning around so quickly, the formation of the cavalry was not disrupted at all. The knights were silent, and the horses were also silent. Only the horses' hooves echoed between heaven and earth.
"What a handsome riding skill!" Ping An said.
"Good soldier!" Zhu Di spit out two words.
Among the separated knights, the young prince, guarded by several cavalry wearing heavy armor with only their eyes exposed, rushed towards him.
"Brother Seventeen!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, "You are too late!"
"Fourth brother!" Young Prince Ning got off his horse and came over with a big smile, "I was behind you on purpose! Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to outrun my cavalry!"
