In the eleventh year of Hongwu, June, Liaodong.

There was a large plaque with red characters on the red lacquer gate. The three words "The Liao Palace" came into view and I felt an indescribable majesty.

Zhu Qi's Liao Palace is located in the northern end of Liaoyang, and it was originally the palace of Emperor Dayuan.

The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty liked to enjoy themselves and built palaces in various places.

As the core of Liaodong, Liaoyang naturally has a palace.

And it's quite large, and living inside feels like living in a small palace.

Zhu Qi was also forced to be extravagant with tears in his eyes. Originally, there were only three wives in the family, one son and other servants, and there were only two hundred palace maids.

Living in such a big house,

It's really luxurious.

After he came to Liaoyang, Liaodong,

There was no announcement, nor was there any announcement or convening a meeting of local squire.

You should know that after other local officials took office, they immediately called the gentry and fellow villagers to have a meeting, and then asked them to cooperate with them, etc.

Some people may ask, aren’t this local officials sent by the imperial court?

Why communicate with local villagers and gentry?

Logically speaking, these rural men are just local people. At most, they are older, richer at home, and have better relationships with the village. What's wrong with them?

In fact, this has a very strong relationship with a typical tradition of Chinese feudal society, that is, the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

Since Qin Shihuang unified China and established the first unified dynasty, set up counties and counties in various places, and abolished the fiefs and vassal system, the imperial power has been greatly concentrated.

However, the concentration of imperial power is limited to administrative units such as the prefecture, and in rural areas such as villages,

The imperial power is not that great authority.

The main reason is that it is impossible to set up an official government office in every village.

In a village, there may be only thirty or forty households, or even less than ten households. How much does it cost to set up an official government office here?

Therefore, in places like villages, there is usually an old, rich and knowledgeable person who has the final say.

They are the so-called fellow villagers and gentry.

However, His Highness of the King of Liao did not summon these fellow gentry and did not intend to talk to them at all, which made the local people in Liaoyang a little strange.

The reason why Zhu Qi did not chat and meet with the villagers was ultimately because he didn't remember this at all.

Although he arrived in Liaoyang, he still thought that he was slaughtering and did not want to deal with local government affairs in Liaoyang.

Anyway, there are local officials sent by the court, so I just need to be a good vassal king guarding the border.

Speaking of this, Lan Yu will be transferred back soon.

And the defense on the front line has to rely on himself, the Liao King.

But under the command

There are indeed no famous generals available.

Zhu Di is the King of Yan,

Of course I won't come here with me with me.

Only Li Shanchang's son Li Qi,

Xu Da's son Xu Zengshou and Li Jinglong were the three.

Among them, Li Jinglong was very strong in training, but Zhu Qi was really worried about asking him to take his soldiers to fight.

This guy is famous in history and has never won any battle he fought.

Xu Zengshou and Li Qi are of good quality, but now they are young and cannot be the only general.

So Zhu Qi is facing a serious problem now, that is, there are not enough generals under his command.

In the past, when we were fighting, there were always all kinds of famous generals around us, either Xu Da, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, etc.

However, these famous generals are no longer by his side. Although Lan Yu is still setting up a defense line in front of Liaodong, he will soon be called back to Tianfu.

After all, after Hu Weiyong's incident, Lan Yu had a good relationship with Hu Weiyong in private.

It is hard to guarantee that Lan Yu would not have any thoughts in his heart, so Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Lan Yu back, first to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent Lan Yu from worrying too much, and secondly, it is also a test of Lan Yu.

If he directly refused the military order, then there was no need to say that Lan Yu's life would definitely not be guaranteed.

Lan Yu naturally did not dare to refuse. After Zhu Qigang arrived in Liaodong, Lan Yu had already written a letter to Zhu Qi that he would return to Yingtian Mansion immediately and ask Zhu Qi to arrange personnel to go to the front line to take over the defense work as soon as possible.

Zhu Qi couldn't help but feel a headache. Zhu Yuanzhang's intention was to ask himself, the King of Liao, to go to the front line to arrange defense.

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he has made outstanding military achievements and has always performed very well on the battlefield. There must be no big problem when he goes to the front line to arrange defense lines.

But only Zhu Qi himself knows what level he is.

It is okay to train troops below, but if you take them to the front line to arrange defense, what if the Northern Yuan Dynasty fights over?

That's really a loss of ideas.

However, Zhu Qi has always been lucky, just as he was thinking about how to solve the problem of the front-line general.

I got great news from the Jinyiwei.

———————

Liaoyang, Liaowang Mansion.

Gao Jin quickly passed through the corridor of the Liao Prince's Mansion. He was the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei and Zhu Qi's confidant.

The guards next to him did not see Gao Jin coming, and they all gave way, without stopping them. Gao Jin went straight to Zhu Qi's study.

But after going there, I couldn't find anyone from His Highness the King of Liao after the study.

The palace maid next to him reminded that His Highness the King of Liao was playing in the garden with his little prince.

Gao Jin hurried towards the garden. As soon as he walked over there, he saw a large number of guards standing outside.

Seeing Gao Jin coming, the guards hurried to inform His Highness of the King of Liao. Not long after, they saw His Highness of Liao coming over with the little prince in his arms.

Zhu Qi was twenty years old at this time, handsome, handsome, handsome and handsome.

Although I didn't exercise much, my body's muscles were still quite strong. I was wearing a python robe and looked like I was powerful without anger.

The shadow seemed to be full of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Gao Jinguang looked at Zhu Qi's eyes and was already in awe unconsciously awe-inspiringly, took two steps back, and then said:

"Your Highness, I have important things to report!"

Zhu Qi held his youngest son and sat down on the chair next to him, and then asked Gao Jin to report on what was going on.

Gao Jin walked up, took out a document, and then said:

"Lan Yu fought several wars in the northern border before and captured some generals, one of them. I looked at the name and origin, and it seemed very similar to the recognition His Highness had been looking for."

Zhu Qi was stunned and asked:

"Who is it?"

"Zhang Yu!"

After Gao Jin finished speaking, Zhu Qi was shocked!

Since Zhu Qi became the command room of the Jinyiwei, he has been collecting famous historical generals.

Among them, the focus is on two people, one is Zhang Yu and the other is Zhu Neng.

These two are famous generals under Zhu Di in history, but they did not follow Zhu Di from the beginning.

Among them, Zhang Yu was originally a general of the Yuan Dynasty, but later surrendered and used it for Zhu Di.

Zhu Neng has no detailed records in history.

Zhu Qi didn't know when Zhu Neng followed Zhu Di, but he asked Zhu Di that there was no one named Zhu Neng under him, and if there were any, he would send it to his third brother as soon as possible.

Although Zhu Neng was not found, now that there is news about Zhang Yu, it is really great news for Zhu Qi. Not only Zhang Yu, the son of Zhang Yu, is Zhang Fu, but also a famous general in the Ming Dynasty!

That really took Zhang Yu and gave him a famous general Zhang Fu.

Needless to say, Zhang Fu's achievements are to conquer Yunnan and conquer Annan.

Never lost in my life.

It was not until the Tumu Fort Incident that Zhang Fu was killed by the emperor.

When Zhu Qi heard Zhang Yu's name, he could no longer sit still. He quickly asked Gao Jin to bring him in and was going to see Zhang Yu now.

This Zhang Yu has become a prisoner of Lan Yu and cannot be sent to Tianfu, according to historical records.

After Zhu Yuanzhang surrendered Zhang Yu, he did not immediately supplement his important tasks. Instead, Zhang Yu slowly climbed up with his military merits and was finally sent to Peiping and taken under Zhu Di's command.

And Zhang Yu really shines in the Jingnan Campaign.

The historical evaluation of "Zhang Yu is good at planning, and Zhu is good at fighting", it can be imagined that Zhang Yu's level is so high.
