I have never thought about taking charge of the army.
Ever since she knew her identity, Zhu Ying never thought that she would have the possibility of going to the battlefield in person.
From all aspects, it seems that this possibility does not exist.
But now, the old man has brought it up.
This made Zhu Ying not sure how to answer for a moment.
"Does Grand Sun think he can't fight, or does he have other ideas?" Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.
Zhu Ying replied, "Grandpa, my grandson did engage in some small fights before, but when leading the army in the war, he always just talked on paper, and in the end he felt a little unsure."
Although she is very successful in business, Zhu Ying has her own self-awareness.
Military talent is a very wonderful thing to talk about, and the aspects involved are not enough for some theoretical knowledge.
The so-called incompetence of one general and the exhaustion of the entire army is not just a matter of a few.
He didn't understand why the old man suddenly wanted to lead the army himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "These eldest grandsons don't need to worry too much. When we go to Liaodong this time, Liang Guogong and others will naturally follow us. Then the eldest grandsons will just study hard."
"We have always been very clear in our hearts that the Great Sun wants to split the land and open up new territories, but there are some things that do not mean that we can just sit in the capital or in the court."
"As an emperor, you cannot allow others to override your authority in all aspects."
"We also know that in Da Sun's mind, he only needs to control the military power and let outstanding generals lead the sergeants."
"But the eldest grandson has ever thought about what would happen if one day, a certain general achieves extraordinary achievements and even surpasses the eldest grandson in terms of reputation."
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he almost mentioned Lan Yu without naming him.
The current Lan Yu is still very young, and such a young Lan Yu has now taken the position of Duke of the State and is still a famous general of the generation.
Based on history, why did Zhu Yuanzhang kill Lan Yu?
In the final analysis, the ultimate reason is fear.
If Prince Zhu Biao had not died, would Lan Yu have been killed?
In fact, it can be seen from many aspects that Lan Yu will definitely be taken away before Zhu Yuanzhang comes to power.
Even now, Zhu Yuanzhang has no intention of keeping Lan Yu.
Even if it is said that the current Lan Yu has undergone many changes, even the current Lan Yu, from all aspects, is very respectful to the great grandson.
Zhu Yuanzhang even promised Da Sun that he would not kill Lan Yu.
In fact, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Lan Yu has long been a mortal person.
It's not because of merit, but because in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Lan Yu has no reward left.
If they just guard the Ming Dynasty, then it doesn't matter. They just slowly take away the military power from Lan Yu's hands.
Da Sun said before that he was indeed doing such a thing.
But after he hired Lan Yu to go to Shaanxi to deal with the uprising of Tian Jiucheng and others, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that Lan Yu could not be retained.
As long as Dasun has ambitions outside, Lan Yu will definitely continue to make contributions.
Zhu Yuanzhang is very clear about the nature of blue jade.
It is said that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.
Now Sapphire is restricted in many aspects, so he has begun to keep a low profile, but what if the credit becomes more?
Zhu Yuanzhang's own character is suspicious.
Such a description is not necessarily a good word for ordinary people, even ministers and generals.
But when this word is used on the emperor, the concept is completely different.
Since ancient times, naive emperors have never been able to firmly control power in their own hands.
The position of the emperor is inherently ruthless. Whenever there is any situation involving the majesty of the imperial power itself, this hidden danger should be dealt with immediately.
Throughout history, there have been many such precedents.
The most typical one is that Sima Yi captured Cao Wei's kingdom.
When Sima Yi was in power, didn't the descendants of the Cao family have any doubts at all?
There must be some, and there are quite a few people who make snitches.
And they chose to believe it.
The final result was that when Sima Yi seized the throne of emperor, the Cao family was completely exterminated.
Regarding this period of history, Zhu Yuanzhang's memory was very profound when he saw it.
Therefore, no matter what the situation is, he will not let the old Zhu family, even if there is a slight possibility, be like the Cao family in the past.
Zhu Yuanzhang clearly knew that he would receive some infamy if he executed these old brothers, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care.
Now, he just wanted to tell his grandson the same idea.
"If you want to use someone, especially if that person is of great use, you must be able to control him and be familiar with him."
"My eldest grandson has grown up outside the palace since he was a child. I believe he can understand some things clearly without me having to explain them."
"But my grandson is not familiar with those old brothers in Huaixi. In some aspects, sometimes it is not as simple as you think."
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.
After hearing the old man's words, Zhu Ying's expression began to become serious, especially when he mentioned the Huaixi Generals Group.
Does the appearance of Sapphire Eucalyptus only refer to Sapphire alone?
What Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to kill was never Lan Yu alone, but the entire Huaixi noble generals group.
The implication of "Lanyu Eucalyptus" was huge. Not only Lan Yu's family was killed, but also generals Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi, etc. were killed at the same time.
A total of one duke, thirteen princes, and two uncles were killed, and more than fifteen thousand people were implicated in the killing.
"The old generals of Yuan Gong have died one after another."
In the entire Ming Dynasty, almost all the heroes and famous generals were slaughtered.
Just look at the records of guilty ministers left by Zhu Yuanzhang at the end and you will know.
Almost 90% of these more than 15,000 people are members of the Huaixi Generals Group.
In other words, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the heroes and generals have been basically killed. Except for Tang He who saved his life, the heroes who survived under Zhu Yuanzhang are very rare. Zhu Yuanzhang has also become a typical representative of the people who killed the heroes since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
.
Could it be said that these people are the same as Lan Yu? They also want to rebel? They also raped the princess?
No, absolutely not!
These people who were killed had an obvious common feature, that is, they were all heroes. After killing these people, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power was undoubtedly more stable, and no one could shake the Zhu family's power!
Even though the current grandson is very good, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the hidden dangers are even greater.
Because as the war begins, the Huaixi generals group, which originally only held general military power in today's world, will become increasingly difficult to control later on.
It can even grow into a towering tree.
At that time, will Sapphire still be like now?
It didn't happen and no one knows.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want his eldest son to gamble on this possibility.
"Grandpa, my grandson understands."
After Zhu Ying thought carefully in her heart, she nodded seriously and said.
Imperial power is never such a simple thing.
The human heart cannot withstand even the slightest test.
If he were to change his position, if he had the power in his hands to subvert the current imperial power, would he still be a minister honestly?
This question has long been answered in the history of China.
Seeing Da Sun's recognition, Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased.
Because an emperor who is not ruthless enough may not be a good emperor, but only in this way can the old Zhu family's empire be stable.
"Dasun can think more about things on the grassland now."
"Although those barbarians on the grassland have a large number of cavalry, our cannons are not vegetarian."
"Especially when it comes to frightening horses. It's very easy to get rid of the harassment of horses."
"They are indeed very fast, but Da Sun must understand one thing. Even if they are horses that run very fast, they still have time to rest."
"And even the strongest warriors on the grassland have their own camps."
"Although our sergeants of the Ming Dynasty are not as fast as the prairie cavalry, these cavalry also have their own parents, wives and children."
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning is already obvious.
From a certain perspective, Zhu Yuanzhang is currently teaching Da Sun some combat experience.
War is an extremely cruel thing.
Don't be deceived by the words of some saints. A general who can truly win the final victory will always do whatever it takes.
Success and defeat, all records are written by the victors.
If you are bound by morality, can you still be a winner?
This topic is a bit heavy.
Zhu Ying actually understood what the old man meant.
The infantry is slow, but the people on the grassland do not have horses to ride on, so their speed is also very slow.
When the parents, wives and children of those cavalrymen were hunted, could they still run away?
They will only attack the Ming army, and the outcome will be obvious.
"By the way, Dasun, there is something we have been hiding from you. Now that you have returned to the palace, it is time to let you know."
"Yueqing is already pregnant with your child. Soon, you will be a father, and we can finally have our great-grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile to break the heavy atmosphere.
Zhu Ying's mind was immediately involved.
Am I going to be a dad?
At this moment, Zhu Ying seemed a little unbelievable, and then she looked surprised.
"Go." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
At this time, Zhu Ying couldn't think of so much. She got up and ran towards Kunning Palace.
....
"Hey, I'm going to have a baby."
Early the next morning, Zhu Ying supported Ye Yueqing and took a walk in the back garden.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this, Yue Qing has just become pregnant." Ye Yueqing said a little embarrassed.
Although she is pregnant, Ye Yueqing currently does not feel much other than retching, and her lower abdomen is only slightly bulging, which has not affected her normal life.
During this time, since she became pregnant, Ye Yueqing has been looking forward to Zhu Ying's return in her heart.
When she came back yesterday, Ye Yueqing leaned on Zhu Ying's arm and slept soundly all night.
At this time, a woman feels most secure only when she sees her man.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are already three months pregnant. Naturally, you need to pay more attention. You can't involve fetal gas."
Zhu Ying said with concern.
If before, the marriage with Ye Yueqing didn't have many emotional turbulences, but at this time, it was completely different.
This kind of experience can only be felt when one truly becomes a father.
People are selfish.
Until this morning, Zhu Ying suddenly felt that she somewhat understood the old man's feeling.
Before, he didn't really integrate into the concept of Lao Zhu's family.
In addition to the relationship with the old man, other memories of past lives have a great impact on Zhu Ying.
In fact, whether it is the past life or the present, look at it from the perspective of a country.
Regardless of the development of science and technology and economic development, politically, many things remain the same.
In her previous life, Zhu Ying was just a little bitch, and she never thought about problems from such a high perspective.
In the final analysis, the development of Qunying Chamber of Commerce is still some benefits from the previous life.
It is an advanced and excellent system that has crushed the times.
"Yue Qing, you probably know about the changes on the grassland, right? Grandpa asked me to lead the army this time to deal with possible changes."
Zhu Ying looked at Yue Qing who was leaning on his shoulder and said.
Regarding this, Ye Yueqing's eyes showed a dull sense of loss, because His Highness the Grand Sun's departure meant that she would not be able to see her child born.
"Yue Qing believes that His Highness can easily calm down the chaos on the grassland."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I know what the old man meant."
"This is a test for me. If it cannot be completely calmed down, the old man wants me to safely guard the country of Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Ying is also very clear about the old man's thoughts.
If we can't even solve the problem of grasslands, then there's no point talking about splitting the soil and opening up new frontiers.
This is to force yourself to retreat when faced with difficulties.
In the words of the previous life, if your business fails, then go home and inherit hundreds of millions of assets.
But regarding this matter, Zhu Ying also thought it through.
In this battle, he not only wanted to fight, he also wanted to fight beautifully and build his own prestige and reputation.
Different from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, for the current Ming Dynasty, military exploits are a very important part.
Ambition must have the ability to match it.
If even generals like Lan Yu can suppress and control them, then there is no point in talking about overseas confederation.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying made up her mind.
But for now, what kind of team to form is a question that needs to be considered.
There is no doubt that Lan Yu must be brought with him, and those people will also be brought with him later, including the discussion of the black soil in Liaodong after the grassland issue is resolved.
This series of things must be thought about in advance.
When fighting a war, we are fighting for an interest. Only by thinking about the path before taking action can we be able to strategize.
