Feng Guosheng took over the seal and shouldered the heavy burden of conquering the West. Just before leaving, he was approached by Zhang Ximeng again.
"Please make sure to take some time this time to take a class."
Feng Guosheng was greatly surprised and couldn't help but said: "Xiang Zhang, who can I teach with this little ink in my stomach? Besides, I'm not prepared!"
"No need."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Just tell me what you have experienced, nothing is difficult."
Feng Guosheng could only nod, "Then, who are you talking to?"
"Give it to martial arts and teach it to some children."
"Child?" Feng Guosheng was puzzled.
"This is your majesty's newly established martial arts school. In addition to a group of children, there are also a few special ones, such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan...Zhu Di!"
Feng Guosheng was stunned for a long time and suddenly exclaimed, "Prince! Prime Minister Zhang, please don't harm me!"
Zhang Ximeng glared at him and said, "I asked you to tell the story of the Western Expedition to the princes. Is this considered harming you? Do you know why Zhao Song did not practice martial arts? Why are martial artists always bullied by literati and never fight back?
Because you lost in education, you gave up the power to influence the next generation. Especially the crucial second generation of the royal family. Think about it, if the prince could know the difficulties of soldiers and understand the warriors
Hardships. If you are keen on martial arts and advocate the expansion of territory, what will be the situation of the generals?"
These words were just direct encouragement. Feng Guosheng was stunned for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do my best, sir!"
"It's not about trying your best! It's about winning. This is also a battlefield!" Zhang Ximeng emphasized.
Feng Guosheng took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "General, I will obey your orders!"
Feng Guosheng, who was on the next mission, really wanted to go to the battlefield, so he went to the martial arts school and spent a full afternoon with these students before leaving.
That night, the three princes were taken into the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them and suddenly asked: "What do you want to do in the future?"
This time it was unexpected. Zhu Di, who had always been clamoring to be the general of the Western Conquest, did not speak. Instead, Zhu Ping and Zhu Fan gritted their teeth and thought for a while. Zhu Ping said first, "Father, my child, my child wants to be a general!"
"Why?"
"For the purpose of opening up the territory and expanding the country's foundation." Zhu Feng said: "Father and son are brothers fighting the tiger. General Feng is the brother of the King of Xiliang, and he will continue to fight now. In the future, the prince's brother will become the emperor.
If you can't lead the army, you, as your younger brother, should help him fight the war!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Xi and suddenly laughed: "Why don't you help him bully his younger brother and prevent him from taking the throne?"
Zhu Xiang's face instantly turned red. He gritted his teeth, muttered for a long time, and suddenly said: "That, those are corrupt Confucianism! They are not heroes, they are not good men! Intrigue and intrigue are not the right path!"
"What is the right path?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.
"The right way, the right way is to make the family business bigger, the territory bigger, and the country stronger. Being the prince of the Zhu family is better than the emperor of the Zhao family!" Zhu Ping mustered up his courage and shouted loudly, as if to make his heart
I was so depressed that I yelled out.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him, and suddenly reached out and took Zhu Chong into his arms. Zhu Chong was inexplicably surprised. It had been a long time since father and son had been so close.
"Did you come up with these words yourself?"
Zhu Xiang nodded, "I thought of it myself, and my mother also taught me. After listening to General Zhengxi's lecture, my child, my child, I understood."
Lao Zhu smiled happily and said: "Yes, your eldest brother went to Peiping. My husband arranged for him to see how Duke Yue built the beacon tower. Then he wrote to us and asked for better treatment of the soldiers. You listened to General Feng's lecture
, and I immediately understood it. In fact, it illustrates a truth, right and wrong in the world are not complicated and difficult to understand... What I am afraid of is that my intentions are not correct, and it will be difficult to recover. I am even more afraid of isolating the inside and outside, if there are eunuchs, civil servants, and treacherous villains around me.
.It’s no use how good a child is!”
After Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, he touched the second child's head and said with a smile: "You are ten years old this year, and your father has named you king. King Qin, what do you think?"
Zhu Xi was stunned, "My child, my child wants to go to Liangzhou!"
Lao Zhu couldn't help but laugh, "You are so ambitious, but you are still young and your skills are not good enough. In martial arts, you should learn your skills well, first learn to lead troops to fight, and then go to Guanzhong to experience, understand the people's conditions, and
Governing the people, you have learned how to be both civil and military. When the time comes, the emperor will allow you to lead troops to the west and expand the territory. When the time comes, it will be natural for you to carve out a large Qin State for you."
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his face turned red and he looked a little excited.
"When Genghis Khan started his career, all of his generals, even his servants, were good at fighting, which was quite impressive. Our generals were no weaker than the original Mongols in terms of military strategy and killing skills. Only the descendants of Genghis Khan are all brave.
He was good at fighting, destroyed a country for forty years, conquered a huge country, and established countless vassal states. He was a genius for a while. Let’s ask ourselves, but it’s not as good as it is!”
Lao Zhu said with a smile: "As a prince, if I am willing to endure hardships and lead troops to expand the territory, one day, I, the descendants of the Zhu family, may not be as good as the descendants of the Bor Jin family!"
"Zhu Feng! Kneel down and listen to the seal!"
Zhu Qing was slightly startled, then hurriedly knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
Then Lao Zhu looked at his third brother, Zhu Fan, and said, "Your second brother has been awarded the title. What do you think? Do you also want to lead the army?"
"Think!" Zhu Fan said: "Father, I heard that the land west of Hexi is rich in water and grass, with wild horses in droves, and the sky is vast and endless. General Feng also said that there are many tribes there, and their customs are very different from those in the Central Plains. But
Is it all true?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "Of course it is true, but hearsay is not enough. If you want to really know it, you have to go and see it in person. I will also make you the King of Jin, learn your skills well, and work with your second brother in the future
Lead the troops together, the world is vast, let you go and see it!"
Zhu Fan quickly lay down on the ground and kowtowed.
This time, the fourth son, Zhu Di, finally arrived. Zhu Yuanzhang did not rush to ask questions, but carefully looked at his son. Whether it was between his eyebrows, his expression, or his temperament, Zhu Di was almost the child who looked most like Zhu Di, even more so than Zhu Biao.
"Fourth brother, you are clamoring to be the General of the Conquest of the West. Now there is a candidate for the General of the Conquest of the West. Your second brother and third brother have also been granted the title of king. They are still the King of Qin and the King of Jin. From now on, the responsibility of conquering the West will fall on them.
.What do you think?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and then said: "General Zhengxi was created, not selected. If they can't do it, they will naturally give it to me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone worsened and he said angrily: "Why, you still want to fight with your two brothers?"
"It's not about fighting with them, it's about saving them!"
"Save them?"
"Yes, what if they are too useless and are eaten by wolves, insects, tigers and leopards from the Western Regions, and the enemy beats them to pieces? Don't you still need a child to save them?"
Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan were so angry that they gritted their teeth. You really think about it!
"Fourth brother, don't worry! We don't need you!" Zhu Feng said angrily.
Zhu Fan also said: "Yes, we have already recruited troops in the martial arts school. You don't have as many people as we do. Let's fight again in a few days!"
Good guy, this guy has revealed his background. Your Highness, Prince Jin, doesn’t look very smart!
Lao Zhu stopped the quarrel among several children and then asked Zhu Di, "You also listened to General Feng's class. What are you thinking about now?"
Zhu Di said: "I, I want silk!"
"silk?"
"Yeah! Lots and lots of silk!" Zhu Di said: "I want to take out all the silk that was awarded to me and give it to General Feng."
"Why give it to General Feng?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"He said that silk in Liangzhou is very expensive. With silk, you can exchange for horses and grain, build military camps and workshops, and win wars?" Zhu Di frowned and said in confusion: "I still have
I don’t understand why I can win the battle even though I’m wearing silk? Father, can you tell me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was also startled, and suddenly smiled and said: "This question cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Let this be your goal in studying and studying in the school... When you give your father the answer, your father will let you know.
You lead the troops into battle and become your general, what do you think?"
Zhu Di nodded vigorously, "It's a deal! I will find the answer!"
Lao Zhu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The fourth son of the emperor, Zhu Di, has been granted the title of King Yan and the fiefdom of Peiping. You must be diligent in learning your skills and not be naughty. Don't let down the expectations of your father!"
After Feng Guosheng's class, he actually asked Zhu Yuanzhang to confer three princes in one breath. This influence was simply boundless. There is no doubt that princes are influenced by warriors, and the emperor attaches great importance to martial arts.
There is no doubt that it can greatly enhance the voice of warriors, and the martial arts will spread throughout the country.
"Sir, what do you think of our princes? Especially the prince and the fourth child." Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "My lord, do you want to know which of these two children is better?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and sighed in a low voice: "We have always believed that the prince is on the right path, so he is naturally very good. The fourth son is young and naughty, and we have nothing to say. But recently we have discovered that the fourth son can win over
The human heart is sharp and intelligent... Speaking of which, it's really a bit like us!"
Zhang Ximeng was speechless. What's going on? Are you bragging about yourself so directly and unabashedly?
However, Lao Zhu was right. For a person in a position of power, aside from being wise and wise, he can win over people and gather a large group of people to work for him. This is indeed the most important skill.
As soon as Zhu Di went to school, he attracted a lot of friends. This time he proposed to send silk to Feng Guosheng's Western Expedition army. When this matter spread, the impression of the fourth prince in the army would naturally be much better than that of other princes.
A prince who can sympathize with the soldiers will naturally gain the support of the soldiers.
"My lord, to defend the Ming Dynasty, we cannot do without an emperor who pursues the right path, nor can we do without a tiger general who is determined to pioneer and can lead the army. In short, the world is big enough to accommodate two outstanding princes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and after repeated attempts, he suddenly said: "Pass the decree, dig out the silk in the palace and give it to General Feng in the name of all the princes!"
Lao Zhu turned around and said: "Mr. Zhang, you can set an example for the ministers and donate some too!"
