"Isn't this too troublesome?" Prince Ming was quite moved. Although he didn't have to be particular about it, there was no need to torture himself if he could live well.
"No trouble, no trouble, our fourth son is famous for being fast, we can build it in two days at most!" Zhu Mang rarely praised his fourth son.
"Haha, that's that." Zhu Di smiled and nodded innocently. He was also commonly known as a virgin, so he didn't hear the third brother's baggage.
"Then I'll trouble you." Prince Ming happily accepted their kindness, and said with a pleased look on his face: "I came here to see you, because I was afraid that you would still be sad about what happened in the morning, but now it seems that I have underestimated you.
’s mind.”
Then he said to Zhu Xi: "Also, in fact, everyone can see that you can fight more than Thunder Tiger. I stopped you to save face for him. After all, he is also a veteran of the sect. It is not good for him to be too stiff."
You will develop in the future.”
As he spoke, he patted Zhu Xi on the shoulder and encouraged him with gentle words: "But you have to understand that we are our own people. If something happens, I will not let you suffer."
"Hey, hey." Zhu Xi muffled his head while eating, but he didn't actually hear it at all.
After finishing the meal, Prince Ming stood up and said, "By the way, tomorrow the helmsmen from all walks of life will come to see me. The three of you will go find Lao Shiling's three-piece outfit later, and then you can help me set up the racks."
"Hey, let's see, okay." The third and fourth sons responded and sent Prince Ming out the door.
After turning back, the two of them asked Zhu Zhen in a low voice: "Lao Liu, what do you mean? You're not just trying to flatter him, right?"
"That's right, will you please that guy?"
"Hehe." Zhu Zhen said with a sly smile: "I have an immature idea, but I don't know whether it will work or not. Let's give it a try first."
"You brat, you're using your storytelling skills on us!" The three brothers laughed strangely in unison, and then they rushed forward together, pressing the sixth child under them and ravaging him for a while. "To attack or not to attack?"
"I'll do my best." Zhu Zhen quickly surrendered as the hero did not suffer the immediate loss.

The next morning, the helmsmen scattered on various sandbanks arrived at the Chinese military water stronghold one after another.
In the meeting hall surrounded by reeds, the three brothers Zhu Xi, Zhu Zhu Di, with red scarves on their heads, leather armors, belts on their waists, and military uniforms of either yellow or green, together with a dozen other soldiers, held their heads high.
He held his chest high and lined up on the left and right, which was quite majestic.
Of course, if Prince Ming knew that there were actually three princes among the soldiers on duty for him, he might feel even more majestic.
After all the helmsmen paid their respects to King Ming, they all sat down on their chairs. King Ming naturally sat south on the top chair.
"Have you all heard about what happened in Zhongdu?" He said first.
All the helmsmen nodded and sighed again and again.
"This failure proves that the government is more powerful than imagined." King Ming continued: "If we want to defeat them, we still need to make extra efforts and sacrifices."
"King Ming, it's not that brothers are afraid of death. From the day we entered the religion, we have regarded ourselves as dead people." A helmsman couldn't help but said: "But tens of thousands of people did not capture the empty-guarded Zhongdu City in the previous round. Now,
The defenders are all in place, but with just 10,000 of us, there is no chance."
"And even if we attack Zhongdu, it will be difficult to accomplish anything in the follow-up. That hellish place extends in all directions and there is no danger to defend it." Someone else helped. It seemed that they had already discussed it and were ready to persuade him together, not to attack the stone with eggs.
"That's right, Prince Ming, we are not afraid of death, but the death must be meaningful, otherwise it will be a sacrifice in vain."
"You are all worrying too much. I knew from the beginning that this would probably be the result!" Prince Ming said calmly.
"Ah? Then we still fight?" All the helmsmen looked at each other in confusion.
"Because the purpose of hitting the capital is to test the combat power of the Ming army; and to reassure Li Shanchang." King Ming said solemnly: "Only to make him believe that our power in Fengyang has been uprooted, short-term
Only if there won't be any more trouble within a certain period of time can he feel free to invite Zhu Yuanzhang to come to Zhongdu!"
"Zhu Yuanzhang?" All the helmsmen gasped. Li Shanchang couldn't do it, so why bother with that big devil?
Zhu Di and the three looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.
I never expected that King Ming’s real target was his father!
"That's right. Our real target is Zhu Yuanzhang! And for such a big event as inspecting the new capital, his prince will most likely accompany him. Unless these two men die, it will be in vain for us to conquer Zhongdu. It won't take long for the imperial army to defeat him.
Destroy it." King Ming raised his voice and said with ambitious flames in his eyes:
"But as long as we kill them both, the world will naturally be in chaos. Those noble military leaders will definitely fight you to death when they see the opportunity to rise to the top. By then, our chance to compete in the world will come!"
"The relationship is so good..." But the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the man who shocked the past and the present, put too much pressure on the protectors and the helmsman. Instead of being inspired, they said worriedly:
"But when Zhu Yuanzhang comes to Zhongdu, he will definitely be followed by a large army. In addition, the local army in Fengyang will also be on full alert. We, alone, may not be enough to put a gap in their teeth."
"I have a clever plan to immobilize all his troops, and they can only watch helplessly as we take away the heads of the father and son!" Prince Ming said with confidence.
"Really?" The helmsmen looked at King Ming in disbelief, feeling a little lucky. "Please let King Ming make it clear!"
"This is an absolute secret. Once it is leaked, it will no longer work." Prince Ming said solemnly, "Please step aside!"
Then he said to his own soldiers: "You also go out."
"Yes." The soldiers responded, and although the three Zhu and others were reluctant, they could only follow them and exit.
When the guardians and helmsmen saw this, they also asked the soldiers standing behind them to go out first.
"Come forward." Prince Ming called for everyone to gather around him and whispered to them.
When the leaders heard this, they were surprised at first, and then became excited. Their eagerness to try was in sharp contrast to before.
"This plan is a wonderful one, but it requires the use of a powerful navy. Our small boats alone may not be able to achieve the effect that King Ming wants." Of course, some people still said cautiously.
"Don't worry, I have already contacted the strongest navy." Mingwang Quezhizhu said: "I will meet with their leader the day after tomorrow, and then we will join forces to kill the tyrant!"
"That's a good feeling! Ming Wang Sheng Ming!" Many protectors and helmsmen immediately understood what Ming Wang meant, and they became even more excited and their confidence surged!
"But there is one thing you must remember!" King Ming's majestic gaze swept over the leaders and said word by word:
"This plan must not be leaked, otherwise it will definitely fail!"
"Understood!" The leaders responded hurriedly.
"After returning, on the one hand, I will step up preparations for war and tell my brothers that the war is imminent. If you don't want to die, just risk your life!" King Ming said decisively: "On the other hand, from now on, watch all the ships. Anyone who leaves the camp without authorization will be killed.
amnesty!"
As he spoke, he looked around at everyone and said earnestly: "No matter what, this is a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak. Only by making surprises can we win. And keeping secrets secret is a prerequisite for making surprises. Once the secrets are leaked, we will definitely lose. Remember, remember
!”
"We will remember King Ming's teachings!" The leaders responded loudly.
