Xu Da held a pile of questions, his face was dark, and the atmosphere was very bad.
"Zhang Chengtian, you came here just to tell me that your eldest brother is not worthy of my Xu family's daughter, right?"
"That's not right!" Zhang Chengtian shook his head quickly, "I'm talking about Wei Guogong, you are such a smart person, how can you get into trouble? My eldest brother is just a piece of wood, very boring. He doesn't have any decent hobbies, and he doesn't want to earn anything.
He wants to live a good life with money, but I don’t understand why he doesn’t want to be an official. Who can live comfortably with him? Is it for your daughter’s good, or do you want to push her into a pit of fire?”
Now it's Xu Da's turn to be stunned. Is Zhang Shuning as bad as you say? Looking at the younger generation, this kid is considered to be very outstanding. He is studious, sensible, good-looking, and has a good character. Why can't he do it?
Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "Anyway, let me put it this way, although the eldest brother can ride a horse and shoot archery, he is opposed to raising horses at home."
"Why?"
"Because he thinks that the money from raising a horse can help three poor students study... Wei Guogong, do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Da nodded repeatedly, "I understand. It seems that after we get married, I will still need to pay for the horse!"
"ah!"
Zhang Chengtian screamed strangely, "Xu, is your skull broken?"
That’s not what I meant!
Xu Da pondered for a moment and thought over and over again. In fact, what Zhang Chengtian was talking about was not a problem. With Zhang Shuning like this, you can't say that he is an incorrigible playboy, right?
If you concentrate on educating, you can achieve a small career.
It’s just that there is no problem outside, this is my own man, whether I am willing, whether I can recognize it, whether I want to live a relatively simple life together...
It seems that this is a problem that I have not noticed all along.
"Okay, let him go back first, and you can think about it later."
Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a moment, then casually twirled his fingers and said, "This Xiang Yunrong, you can be considered as delivering the letter for him, does he think so?"
Xu Da snorted, "As big as he is, you really think his younger brother is good!"
As he spoke, Xu Da took out a few banknotes, handed them to Zhang Ximeng, and sent the big man away.
Then Xiang Yun thought about it for a long time and came up with the same sentence. Children and grandchildren have no children and grandchildren. Go ask the girl and see what you think!
Another day later, Xu Da came to Wang Baobao's residence. By coincidence, Zhu Di was also there.
When he saw Xu Da, Zhu Di was not afraid at all. He said hello and wanted to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yun shouted angrily: "Stop, you have nothing to ask him!"
Zhu Di was standing outside, as straight as a pine tree.
In the dignified Palace of King Yan, I had been so honest all my life. Xu Da took me to Wang Baobao's study, facing the teacher and Xu Da at the same time.
"I want to ask him what he plans to do next?" Xu Da's tone was stiff, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, and he was not being polite at all.
Xiang Yunrong folded his arms and smiled, saying what he said, and what he meant was that he had nothing to lose.
Zhu Di thought for a while, then immediately said: "You, you plan to go to Kaiping to join the feudal clan."
"Kaiping? Guarding the woolen mill, are you still alive?" Xu Da asked politely again.
"Enough! Enough! You have calculated it. If you give it another two or eight years, the woolen mill will be able to produce eight million pieces of woolen wool every year. For that alone, there will be no exit of 870 million yuan, and there will be no net profit.
Less than 7 million is enough to support the eight guards of the palace. And you can also keep some other shares and get dividends from Peking every year. You will definitely have food and clothing worries... Zhang Chengtian has nothing to worry about."
Just because Zhu Di, who was good at crying and selling out the poor, actually pretended to be a hero in front of Xu Da, which shows that marriage makes people sober, so what else, the IQ is on the line.
Sure enough, Xu Da was furious!
"Your Majesty the King of Yan, in the past he was in charge of Beiping, Liaodong, and Gaoli and other places... This is a small family business! Now he is satisfied with just Kaiping City? Is he still hopeless? He is too conciliatory.
People are disappointed!”
"Then..." Zhu Di looked at Xu Da stupidly, did you understand what you meant? However, Xu Da turned his head to the side and didn't bother to talk to me at all.
Wang Baobao could only cough and said: "That's right. Your Majesty issued a decree, allowing the clan to establish the country, and also allowing the nobles to open up the sea. Kaiping only has one city, and it is really spacious. If King Yan is willing to open up, it is okay.
"
Only then did Zhu Di realize that he was asking about his own ambitions. What kind of old father wanted his son to marry well, or thought that his son-in-law had no future?
Especially for someone like Xiang Yun, do you want your son to follow him in Kaiping City to be the city god’s grandma?
Does that make sense?
Zhu Di figured out what was going on and couldn't help laughing.
"Sir, there is no Zhang Chengtian yet. In fact, you have already thought about it. You plan to take the initiative and use 80,000 elite troops to completely eliminate Wei Guogong!"
Xu Da was startled. I had not heard the name Wei Guogong for a long time, but there was no such person in Xu Da's heart.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wei Guogong was the first tomb keeper in the Xiao Yuan Dynasty.
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun retreated and encircled each other, driving Wei Guogong out of Shanxi. In this battle, Xiang Junrong crossed the river on a floating horse. His embarrassment reached the extreme and he was almost captured alive.
But Xiang Yunrong was destined to die and managed to escape.
I just ran away, supported the remaining clan members of the Yuan Dynasty, and raised the banner of Xiao Yuan again.
But it is a pity that the Wei State's public laws continued to bring disaster to Xiaoming's frontiers as they did in history.
The main problem is the border defense strategy formulated by Wang Baobao and Zhu Yuanzhang.
We are only building the Great Wall and arranging soldiers to garrison the fields and guard the borders.
He also promoted a small number of generals and deployed elite troops, and went deep into the grasslands every year to drive away the Yuan army.
In addition, various places recruited rebels and bribed many Mongolian tribes.
It's too little to say, just take out Confessions of the Iron Pot.
Look, their former emperor has surrendered, confessed his crime, and reflected on his mistakes. What reason do they have for surrendering?
If Iron Pot can live well, they will be killed for some reason, so why fight?
Facing the even weaker Xiao Ming dynasty, there were no ruthless heart-breaking tactics. Xiao Ming's border defense pressure was indeed much greater than in history. Therefore, before regaining Peiping, almost no one paid too much attention to the war in the north, and instead focused on development.
.
But today, Xiao Ming's internal rectification has become more complete, and it is urgent to use troops against him.
Wei Guogong, who still resists stubbornly, will naturally not be able to escape justice.
"Speaking of which, that Wei Guogong has no backbone at all. He is so young, but he is still insisting on whether to surrender or not!" Xu Da sighed: "Grand Master, how about he let you lead the army and completely eliminate Wei Guogong?"
Xu Da was eager to give it a try.
But when Wang Baobao opened his mouth, Zhu Di did it, "Zhang Chengtian, he has already resigned from the position of junior governor and transferred to the post of censor Xiaofu, why do he still want to lead the army? He, he uses civility to control military affairs, but the grand master has been appointed
The iron rule is absolutely feasible!”
"He!" Xu Da was very angry, "Master Zhang, he will give you a review!"
Wang Baobao had a smile on his face... So far, Xu Da is still a victorious general. However, according to history, Xu Da did overturn when he was the first to attack Duke Wei.
So from that point of view, Wang Baobao felt that it would be better for Xu Da to lead the army.
"Xiang Junrong, what does he think of that? How about asking him to go to Xi'an Prefecture to supervise the division?"
Xu Da was stunned for a moment, and then said reluctantly: "It turns out that Prime Minister Zhang also thinks that I am worthy of being used in the battle formation because I have been away from it for a long time... That's all, let's give that opportunity to the elders!"
Xu Da actually gave up leading the troops on his own initiative, which cheered Zhu Di up a bit.
"Sir, I asked you to lead the army. You take the seventh and eighth lao to make sure that Duke Wei is captured alive and my head is used as a chamber pot!" Zhu Di said, patting his chest.
"It's better to leave this chamber pot to his father! You have this habit." Wang Baobao said politely: "That time I fought against Wei Guogong, I'm afraid I still need blue jade."
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, "Sir, why is he so optimistic about Lan Yu?"
Xiang Junrong hummed: "You are optimistic about me, but are you optimistic about him? That guy Lan Yu is really willing to study carefully, and he is very strict when facing the enemy. Moreover, I have been with Gaoli for a long time, and Wei Guogong is not right with me.
Therefore, letting Lan Yu lead the troops can have a surprising effect, but if he takes the Duke of Wei, the chance is slim."
Xu Da pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Grand Master, you agree with that arrangement. Ordinarily, the troop dispatch was definitely just for Zheng Yu's crusade against Xiang Junrong. There should be no smaller arrangements."
Wang Baobao nodded, "That's wrong. Let Feng Guosheng and Fu Youde send troops from the west region to attack Wei Guogong's side. The King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Yan will join forces with the eight kings to retreat to Dongsheng, gain a foothold in Hetao, and attract Duke Wei.
Later, there was a decisive battle, and then the blue jade troops suddenly retreated, and life or death was decided in one battle!"
Xiang Yun nodded, but then said: "Although Grand Master's plan is good, it will stretch thousands of miles, criss-cross from east to west, and there is a vast grassland and Gobi. If you are not careful, Wei Guogong will escape and try to catch me again."
, but it’s just difficult.”
Wang Baobao said: "So in that battle, you must have the skills of a champion. You must be able to catch the enemy by mistake and kill him smoothly. That is why you prefer Lan Yu."
Xiang Yun thought for a while again, and this time I was completely convinced.
"You are indeed good. You have fought too few battles in the Central Plains. Your current thoughts are still on Huaixi, Jiangxi, Huguang, and the Central Plains... If you leave that area, you may not be able to win against the old people.
"
Xu Da sighed, "Zhu Di, he was also a young general who led the army that time. He made small achievements and gained less territory. The people who were with him a few days ago can also look good with dignity, right?"
Zhu Di was still hesitating, but Wang Baobao said with a smile: "Silly man, please kowtow to his father-in-law!"
Zhu Di still had a reaction, "Here, did Xu Miaoyun agree?"
Xu Da rolled his eyes in anger, "Idiot, if this girl wants to marry him, do you think you will agree? His stupidity will attract people!"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth could not help turning upward, and he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law. I wish my father-in-law good luck and longevity and a long life!"
Xiang Yun looked at it for a moment, then finally reached out and pulled Zhu Di up, "Be nice to my girl, of course I agree!"
Zhu Di chuckled and said: "What the hell...you have beaten me before!"
