Qi Mu cried bitterly on the stretcher, his voice choked with sobs, "Thank you very much for your grace, your Majesty. I will definitely hold the sword in my hand and guard the snow city and the northern border for the Emperor. If the ruthless bandits dare to come, they must have it."
No return!"
Although the man was in a state of embarrassment, his determination and ambition infected even the people around him. With a smile on his face, Zhu Di let him go down to heal his wounds first, leaving the King of Chu Zhu Muchen alone!
His Royal Highness Zhu Zhanji, who had just arrived in front of the house and was about to come in, was rejected and could only wait outside. He was wondering in his heart, why did the emperor's grandfather favor the King of Chu even more after this battle? He even had an illusion that
The king of Chu's position has risen sharply, and he will surely frighten everyone in Nanjing.
Zhu Muchen was neither humble nor arrogant, waiting quietly without any impatience. This made Zhu Di even more satisfied. He sighed and said: "Although the three troops have retired, I feel very uncomfortable. I have sacrificed so many people, including food and sleep."
It’s so uncomfortable!”
Da Ming'erlang was brought here intact, but the people of Xuecheng mobilized to build the Tomb of Heroes here. Many people's bodies were not even found in the capital. They were trampled into blood and had to be buried here together. Nothing could be taken back.
Zhu Muchen knew that the emperor was feeling uncomfortable. As a modern man, he had participated in two battles in total. People around him fell one after another, and he felt very uncomfortable. He said with a heavy face: "Although the three troops were defeated in this battle, I
Our side's losses were far more serious than those of the three coalition forces. According to reports, we have sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers. If we want to advance straight in and re-plan the supply of food and grass, we will sacrifice more, prolong the war, and injure the enemy.
One thousand to oneself, eight hundred to one's own loss, this is a bad move."
Everyone hates them in their hearts, but no matter how much they hate, they cannot be reckless. Zhu Di held his forehead and said, "What King Chu said makes sense. After chatting with you for a while, I suddenly felt enlightened. This time, in order to rescue Shengjia, the people around you sacrificed a lot.
You should also go back and adjust!"
Zhu Muchen left the room, but his nervous mood after the war could not be calmed down. He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't even see His Highness Taisun who greeted him from the side, and walked away with straight eyes.
Zhu Zhanji didn't know why, and thought that Grandpa Huang was going to do something to King Chu, so he hurriedly entered the house, "Grandpa Huang, King Chu, he sacrificed many royal guards to protect the Holy Emperor, you..."
"I know!" Zhu Di felt helpless when facing his favorite grandson. How could he achieve great things in the future if he was so reckless?
"Why are you here? Are you going to speak good words for King Chu again? I am not an old and confused person, so how can I hold on to King Chu?"
After Zhu Zhanji heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and told the emperor everything about Zhu Muchen's condition just now.
Zhu Di, who was sitting in the main seat, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid he feels the same as me because of the dead soldiers. Just now he said what I least wanted to hear, but it was the truth. I don't know when the generals in the court
I started to imitate the vassal style of civil servants. If I want to hear the truth, I have to hear it from the mouth of the King of Chu!"
For a moment, Zhu Zhanji was a little speechless. He had dealt with things several times, and the person in the Imperial Study Room who was the best at flattering the emperor and grandpa was obviously the King of Chu. On the left, he was a saint who was kind and wise, and on the right, he was blessed by heaven. This would turn out to be the most important person.
Zhu Zhanji thinks he is the best at telling the truth and has some dignity in front of the Emperor. But now that he heard the Emperor praise the King of Chu, Zhu Zhanji secretly decided in his heart that he would learn more from the King of Chu in the future.
How to flatter someone without being humble or arrogant!
Zhu Muchen had no idea that he was already being considered. When he walked to the camp of the injured soldiers, his mood became even heavier. Broken arms and legs here were considered minor injuries. The medical officer was busy working non-stop. Seeing him coming, many people he knew
The unknown soldiers all lay down and saluted.
King Chu's desperate behavior to protect the Holy Emperor on the battlefield has long been spread among the Ming army, and everyone is in awe!
"Thank you for your hard work, all the soldiers. Your Majesty is very concerned and asked me to come here to express my condolences. You can rest in peace and recover, no need to be polite!"
The injured soldiers could not be seen at a glance, but Zhu Muchen used the emperor's name to express condolences to the soldiers, which made the soldiers feel more grateful and supportive of the Ming Emperor, and felt deeply for Zhu Muchen, the wise king of the Ming Dynasty today.
When they reached the end, Zhu Muchen saw Pang Man lying unconscious on the bed. The injury on his broken arm had been carefully bandaged by the medical officer, but the injury and fever were already the most dangerous moment. The two medical officers were busy
Gotta go round and round.
Zhu Muchen stared at the red-faced Pang Man, and gently put his hand on it. He quickly took it away when it was too hot. He knew that the medical officer worked hard, but he could not just watch others lose their lives after the war, so he couldn't help but say: "
We must use the best medicinal materials, and I will be responsible for everything. I must cure him, and I leave it to you two."
The two medical officers knew the King of Chu's heart well and promised to do their best. Zhu Muchen could not be of much help here, and would even delay the medical officer's treatment. They took a look and left the camp. Before leaving, they prepared soup.
, for medical officers and wounded soldiers.
Zhang Dahu and Zhang Sanhu were waiting at the door of Zhu Muchen's tent. They were depressed and crying in grief. Each held a box made of pear wood in their hands, with a red square folded on top. It was the ashes of Zhang Erhu and Zhang Sihu!
Zhu Muchen's steps were frivolous and he did not dare to move forward. He was filled with grief. He seemed to have used a lot of strength to touch the two boxes, one on the left and the other on the right. After the two of them died, they were trampled by the Tatar cavalry. They had already
The flesh and blood were blurred, and the corpses could not be found. Zhang Dahu and Zhang Sanhu returned to the battlefield, and with the unique copper iron rings on the four men's bodies, they found some flesh and blood, burned them thoroughly, and put them in boxes.
Zhang Dahu was a tall and thick man, his voice was choked with sobs, but he still did not forget to remind him, "Your Majesty, the two Hus and the Four Hus respected you the most before. It is also their honor to return home with this red cloth covered by you."
, If the two younger brothers know anything about it, they will definitely keep the prince safe and sound!"
His hands kept shaking, but Zhu Muchen shook off the red cloth and covered it flatly on the pear wood box. He brushed off the wrinkles on it and said with a bit of congestion in his voice, "I am here to take you home!
"
During this war, Zhu Muchen deeply felt the cruelty of the war. Although the war was victorious, the people around him were either injured or dead. The only ones who were alive could not help but mourn for the dead.
Returning in triumph this time, the mighty Ming army, except for the defenders who stayed behind, set off from Xuecheng to Nanjing City. Before leaving, the newly appointed county magistrate Qi Mu had already healed his legs.
After being carried outside the city tower, he could not kneel on his lower legs, so he had to lie on the ground and bow, "I respectfully send you off to your Majesty!"
The loyalty was evident. Zhu Di was extremely satisfied. His eyes flashed across Zhu Muchen. This was recommended by the King of Chu. His loyalty and patriotism became more and more obvious. Qi Mu's loyalty was even more evident. If the three coalition forces came back again,
I believe that the newly appointed county magistrate will be able to protect Xuecheng.
The people of Xuecheng sent each other off one after another, taking ordinary things from home along the way, including vegetables and eggs in baskets, all of which were sent to each other on both sides of the road. This is a little bit of the people's thoughts. Although it is a small thing, it is also their sincerity.
, Xuecheng has experienced a great looting, and it needs time to restore people's livelihood, but the gratitude of the people is in front of you. If you don't accept it, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of thousands of people.
While Zhu Di was hesitating, Qi Mu asked for help on behalf of the people of Xuecheng, "Please accept it, the emperor. Although it is not a valuable thing, most of the food and grass brought by the emperor were left in Xuecheng so that the people can afford a meal."
Many soldiers along the way still need to open their mouths to eat. This is a little wish from the people of Xuecheng. Don't refuse it."
It was a good thing that the people supported him. Zhu Di felt happy from the bottom of his heart. He nodded in agreement again and again. In the farewell of the people of Xuecheng, the group returned to the court, but everyone was in a heavy heart. Although the march ahead was mighty, there were thousands of people in the middle.
There is a hero monument behind the wounded, with thousands of names engraved on it, representing the soldiers who died in the war.
This time it looked like they had won, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty suffered a lot of damage. If it weren't for the powerful firearms and absolute numerical superiority, it would have been defeated. Everyone knew it, and there was no way they could show a smile, even if the army was large.
After settling in, Zhu Di led a group of generals and others, and when he accepted the cheers of the people of Nanjing, he felt very tired and hurriedly entered the palace.
Anyway, in everyone's eyes, they had won the battle. Zhu Muchen looked at the Chu Prince's Mansion in front of him on Chengxian Street, took a deep breath, slapped Rocket on the butt, "Go home!"
After not seeing each other for many days, I don’t know what the palace has become. Zhu Muchen is eager to return. As soon as he arrives at the gate of the palace, he finds that the three concubines are there, each holding a child in their hands. When they see him, the three concubines have red eyes and walk quickly.
Come.
Xu Xin's body has recovered as before after using the best medicine from the palace. Regardless of the smell of blood and sweat on Zhu Muchen's body, she threw herself into his arms and said, "My lord, you are finally back. I and my two sisters are looking forward to the stars."
Like the moon, I hope you will come back. We burn incense and pray every day. Sure enough, God will bless you. Your father, queen, mother and concubine will bless you for your safe return."
Her voice was choked. Bai Xiaoman and Monk Ziyou were also surrounding Zhu Muchen. Everyone was excited. The two little princesses were babbling and reaching for Zhu Muchen's hair. As for the little princesses, there were only a few of them now.
Yue's eyes were like black grapes, and the corners of her mouth split when she looked at her father, and her saliva came out when she laughed.
As the saying goes, wives and children are hot on the bed. Seeing his family, Zhu Muchen's fatigue disappeared. He took Zhu Haoran in Xu Xin's arms and finally showed a smile, "I'm back home!"
This time when the teacher returned to Beijing, it was originally a great victory, but Zhu Di did not reward everyone for their merits. Instead, he handled political affairs as usual.
During this period, the emperor called the prince Zhu Gaochi to the imperial study several times. According to the news from the prince's palace, he was called to the imperial study to report on his duties. Fortunately, the prince handled the matter in an orderly manner. Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, and the prince even breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor did not blame him.
, otherwise if he goes out through this door, he will definitely be criticized.?
