Chapter 383: The Power of the King of Yan! ‘Bombarding’ Nanjing!
"Lao Zhang, are you going to Qinhuai River so early?"
"Yes, go early and get a good seat. Won't you go? Do you want me to get a seat for you? Our whole family will go!"
"Stop talking, our boss has strictly ordered all of us not to ask for leave today, otherwise we will be fired directly instead of deducting wages! I also really want to see the grand occasion of King Yan's return to Beijing, but I can't do it just to watch the excitement. , let’s drink the northwest wind as a family!”
"Our boss gives all of us a holiday with paid wages. Our boss also said that if we behave well, more and more people in Jinling City will implement the employment share system. If we don't want to be resented by our peers, our boss will do the same." , don’t feel bad if you give us dividends. I heard that His Majesty will hold a ceremony to review the new army on Hongwu Avenue, and you can also see the style of the first town of King Yan’s army. "
"But I still want to see King Yan's navy!"
…
Early in the morning.
Countless people rushed out of the city. Scenes like this were frequently staged throughout Jinling City.
Among the elites in Jinling City, including dignitaries, officials, gentry, and merchants, some were very enthusiastic about Zhu Di's return, while others were very hostile.
In order to prevent the people from cheering for Zhu Di.
Taking advantage of the people's dependence on them, they issued very strict orders.
…
royal palace.
After the morning court, Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the imperial study.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, took a deep look at Zhu Biao, and then smiled and ordered: "When it's almost noon, you will take the military officials of the Central and Eastern Dynasties and the generals of the East Palace Guards to the Qinhuai River to take the fourth child home for us..."
Zhu Biao listened carefully with a smile.
He knew his father's intentions.
Let the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China have a first-hand experience of the new atmosphere brought back by the fourth child.
The same is true for Dong Gongwei.
Even more important.
Let Donggong Wei lead the generals to intuitively feel the difference between the old four new troops and them.
"Father, I understand." Zhu Biao nodded and asked with a smile, "Aren't the father and the queen going?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared, "What are you talking about when we welcome the fourth child!"
He is me!
He also wants to save face!
Of course, you must go and see it.
Just don't go with Biao'er and the others, go quietly without disturbing anyone.
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Is that where I went to make arrangements?"
"Go ahead."
…
East Palace.
Lu Ben held Zhu Yunwen's hand and looked at the direction of the East Palace leading to the palace. Shen Busi said: "Yunwen, your eldest brother is coming back. Maybe your father will not be as close to you and love you as before..."
Zhu Yunwen, who is over three years old and will be almost four in a few months, frowned slightly, "Why?"
In the past few months, after the crazy girl from my fourth uncle's house came back.
It's extremely annoying.
The emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother were obsessed with that crazy girl.
Neither the imperial grandfather nor the imperial grandmother treated him like this.
It’s okay if the crazy girl reigns supreme in the palace.
The mother-in-law also brought her to stay in the East Palace several times, and everyone in the East Palace supported her!
Lu Ben saw Zhu Yunwen frowning and smiled slightly. Yunwen was young and didn't understand many things.
But the preference shown by adults can already be felt.
Lu Ben squatted in front of Zhu Yunwen and looked at Zhu Yunwen, "Don't ask why, you will understand when you grow up. When you see your father later, you just need to tell your father that you really want to see you and have never been masked." Big brother, your father will be very happy and like you even more..."
Now is not the time to teach Yunwen to fight for interests.
But this method can also achieve the same effect.
First of all, if Yun Wen relays these words to the prince, the prince will be very happy.
Secondly, as soon as the prince is happy, he will most likely agree to take Yunwen with him to pick up Zhu Xiongying.
Using brotherhood to plot against a father, it is impossible to fail!
This move can put a thorn in Zhu Xiongying's heart.
At the same time, what would the civil and military officials think when they saw the prince taking Yun Wen with him on such an occasion?
You will definitely think that the prince loves Yunwen very much!
So far, that's enough!
Hu Weiyong has been dormant these years and has become increasingly sinister.
This method was thought up by Hu Weiyong.
If the useless girl hadn't cooperated with them, this matter wouldn't have been so complicated and troublesome.
Zhu Yunwen nodded.
Lu Ben smiled and was about to speak when he saw Zhu Biao coming from a distance on a carriage.
He said hurriedly: "Yunwen, your father is back from the next court."
Zhu Yunwen looked over, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Father!"
He yelled, broke away from Lu Ben's hand, left Lu Ben and ran over.
Lu Ben looked at Zhu Yunwen, running unsteadily on his short legs, and suddenly felt a little bad.
After all, Yun Wen is also a member of the Zhu family, and he is born towards the Zhu family.
If Yun Wen is supported as emperor in the future, will the Lu family really be able to share the world with the Zhu family?
‘At least, it is the most prominent family under the Zhu family! ’
Lu Ben quickly calmed down, smiled, and shouted: "Yunwen, slow down."
Immediately, Nervous caught up with him.
When Lu Ben arrived, Zhu Biao had already gotten off the carriage and was talking to Zhu Yunwen.
"Father, my child... My child wants to go with my father to greet my eldest brother. My child, my child has never seen my eldest brother..."
"good!"
…
"Prince." Lu Ben hurriedly bowed and explained, "I am going to take Yunzhen out of the palace and go to the Qinhuai River to watch the excitement..."
Zhu Biao took Zhu Yunwen's hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "Let's go alone with Yunwen. After the viewing of the new army on Hongwu Avenue, you can return to Peiping as soon as possible. In addition, let go of the grudge between you and the fourth child when it's time to put it down. , don’t do anything that makes Guxia cruel.”
"Prince, I have given up a long time ago. I was not big-hearted enough at the beginning..." Lu Ben hurriedly lowered his head and explained.
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and took Zhu Yunwen away in a carriage.
Lu Ben slowly raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao's leaving figure...
snort!
He snorted slightly and turned to leave.
He didn't believe it. Zhu Silang's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and the prince was not wary at all.
If this is the case, the prince is not a qualified prince!
These people who hate Zhu Silang.
It is of no use to the prince now.
But as long as the prince can't tolerate Zhu Silang and makes up his mind to fall out with Zhu Silang.
Or when it is necessary to suppress Zhu Silang's influence in the Ming Dynasty.
They are useful to the prince!
Is it possible that when the time comes, people like Lan Yu and Mu Ying will desperately hope to have a good relationship with Zhu Silang and imitate and learn from Zhu Silang's people.
Even if the prince achieves the throne, can he feel at ease?
cannot!
One day, the prince will definitely gradually use these people.
…
It's approaching noon.
Zhuzi Lane became lively.
Outside Geng Mansion.
"Geng Xuan, what are you doing! Come back to me!"
Mrs. Geng scolded sharply.
Geng Xuan went in with his left ear and out with the right ear, and rode straight to the Xu Mansion.
After arriving at the gate of the mansion, he got off his horse and looked very familiar. He smiled and threw the reins to the servant and asked, "Has my sister set off?"
"without……"
Before the servant finished speaking, Geng Xuan had already run up the steps and disappeared outside the door of the mansion.
Several servants looked at each other.
"The eldest lady is in confinement, doesn't Geng Xuan know?"
"He is a drunkard. His interest is not in drinking, but in Miss Chunxiao!"
"I see, he can't wait to call me eldest lady, master wife!"
…
While the servants were discussing, Geng Xuan went straight to the attic where Xu Miaoyun lived after entering the house.
Head-on, I met Sister Xu Miaoyin coming out of the attic courtyard.
"Second sister, won't sister go with you to greet your brother-in-law?" Geng Xuan looked for him in the crowd, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Xu Miaoyin joked: "Are you sure you are looking for Sister?"
Geng Xuan laughed sarcastically and slandered, "You are married to the king of Dai. Naturally, a man who is full will not know that a man who is hungry is hungry." ’
"I'm going to see my sister..."
Without saying a word, he quickly ran to the attic, ignoring the teasing sounds of Xu Miaoyin's group of people behind him.
…
In the attic.
"Sister, let me see you." Geng Xuan stood beside the crib and spoke with a smile. At the same time, she kept glancing in the direction of Chunxiao, who was shaking the rattle beside the crib.
Xu Miaoyun sat leaning against the bed, a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
She had seen Huizu wanting to get married and start a business.
I've seen heroes secretly care about picking green.
…
I've seen all kinds.
But this was the first time she had seen such a thick-skinned Geng Xuan. She turned to Chunxiao, who had been ignoring Geng Xuan, and said, "Chunxiao, you and Geng Xuan go together. I have other people here to take care of me..."
Chunxiao then raised his head and wanted to refuse. Xu Miaoyun glared slightly. Chunxiao lowered his head, the tips of his ears were slightly red, and nodded.
Xu Miaoyun was amused.
Miaoyin and the others had repeatedly suggested that Chunxiao go with them, but Chunxiao refused.
Agree now.
It seemed like the reason why she, the mistress, was pretending to be angry.
But in fact, it was Geng Xuan’s fault.
"Chunxiao, go get ready first."
Geng Xuan watched Chunxiao leave, turned around, her eyes fell on Xu Miaoyun, and immediately asked with a smile: "Sister, do you want to teach me things by ear and face to face?"
Xu Miaoyun was amused and laughed angrily: "Who said I want to teach you something?"
"Isn't it obvious that Sister sent Chunxiao away?"
Geng Xuan clasped her fists and begged, "Sister, please take pity on me and give me a trick. After all these years, I have really recognized Chunxiao. She was the one who forced me to fall down in front of the Korean government palace." Before, my heart was pounding so hard, sister, can you understand? I was not going to marry Chunxiao at that time..."
Xu Miaoyun listened with a smile...
After Geng Xuan finished speaking, he smiled and said: "After the new year, Chunxiao will go to practice medicine all over the world..."
In the year since she came back, she has seen everything Geng Xuan did.
If Chunxiao misses Geng Xuan because of all kinds of secular gossip, I'm afraid she will never meet another 'Geng Xuan' again.
As a mistress, she must hope that Chunxiao can live happily in the future.
Anyway, if Xiao Qihua can meet a young man like Geng Xuan in the future.
Even if the other person's status is humble, she will support him.
Of course, Geng Xuan's ability to marry Chunxiao is also the greatest blessing in Geng Xuan's life.
Mrs. Geng objects?
snort!
If not Geng Xuan is very sincere.
As a mistress, she still looks down upon the Geng family!
Isn’t the Geng family just a marquis’ family?
How could such outstanding students as she and Shiro be worse than his Geng family in the future?
…
Geng Xuan's eyes lit up, "Master's wife, do you mean that I can follow Chunxiao and travel around the world together?"
Master’s wife?
Xu Miaoyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and shook his head.
This guy is so thick-skinned and so good at climbing along the lines.
"In the next year, the imperial court will conduct the Northern Expedition. If you travel around the world with Chunxiao, you will lose this opportunity to experience. After you participate in the Northern Expedition..."
"No, no, no!" Geng Xuan shook his head quickly.
Is it important that Bei Zheng has a wife?
There are many opportunities to fight, but Chunxiao is unique, there is only one.
At worst, I'll hang out with my brother-in-law in the future.
My brother-in-law is opening up new territories all over the world. Is there a lack of opportunities for contact?
What's more, in these years, he hasn't been just dawdling, he has also worked hard to improve his skills in order to run away from home!
Uncle Xu was training the new army in the Beijing camp. He became an ordinary soldier and received the most rigorous training.
Uncle Xu even praised him!
Moreover, hanging out with my brother-in-law.
It's like being a door-to-door son-in-law.
Chunxiao will definitely be happier!
"Thank you, Master Sister!"
After Geng Xuan danced and bowed deeply to Xu Miaoyun, she turned around and looked at the little guy in the crib: "Gao Xu, we will be a family from now on!"
After saying that, he left happily.
Chunxiao was already waiting under the attic.
Seeing Geng Xuan grinning from ear to ear, she walked down from the attic with a smile, turned around and walked out, and at the same time asked: "What did the master's wife say to you?"
"Master Wife said you are going to travel around the world practicing medicine..."
…
"I want to hang out with my brother-in-law and become a son-in-law!"
Geng Xuan did not hold anything back and not only told what Xu Miaoyun said.
He also told Chunxiao his own thoughts.
Chunxiao Tentacle's smile flashed away, he stamped his feet and turned around, "You don't have to follow me. You have been training with Master for so long. The Northern Expedition is a great opportunity to train yourself, and it is also an affirmation of your own efforts, just like when I go on a trip Practicing medicine all over the world also wants to test the results and shortcomings of one's own efforts..."
ha!
My wife is excellent! If I let such a good wife slip away, wouldn't I regret it to death?
"Then during my Northern Expedition, you can't fall in love with anyone else!"
The tips of Chunxiao's ears turned red instantly, and she was too lazy to say anything more and quickened her pace.
…
The boys and girls, with beautiful feelings in mind, rode out of Noble Lane.
Tsk tsk...
"The toad Geng Xuan succeeded."
In the carriage, Narentoya watched Geng Xuan and Chun Xiao riding by, lowered the curtain, and shook her head.
In recent years, Geng Xuan has been stalking people, let alone Zhu Zixiang.
The whole of Jinling knows it.
And she lived in Zhuzi Lane, and she saw a lot of conflicts between Geng Xuan and the Geng family because of this incident.
The Geng family is really blind!
Wu Yunqige smiled and poked Narentoya's forehead, "Stop acting so old-fashioned, how old are you!"
After teaching Narentuoya a lesson, Wu Yunqige raised the curtain and stared blankly at the Zhuzi Lane, which was suddenly full of traffic.
Lived here for several years.
I have never seen such a lively scene.
Zhu Ruruo returned to the court.
The Northern Expedition is about to begin.
This time, how many people will die in Grassland and Daming.
I have lived in Daming for these years.
She also has feelings for Daming.
I really don’t want the bloodshed between the two races to break out again.
But it's also clear.
Country to country.
between men.
This war cannot be stopped without a winner.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to determine the winner completely.
Zhu Ruchu is so powerful. Can he completely conquer the grassland in this northern expedition?
It's a pity that Zhu Ruruo is not the presidential commander in this battle.
She hopes that the two tribes can settle things quickly, with one side winning and the other losing, and the losing side completely surrendering and living peacefully and in good-neighborliness.
Perhaps, at that time, she can return to the grassland again.
Horses gallop on the green grass, chasing the soaring goshawks under the blue sky and white clouds.
…
When Wu Yunqige and Naren Tuoya arrived at the Qinhuai River.
Both sides of the Qinhuai River are already overcrowded.
Fortunately, their status is special.
Smoothly enter the area where the powerful officials are guarded by soldiers.
Although it's at the back, the view is excellent.
Narentoya was short, so she prepared a small stool and stood on the stool to watch.
hiss!
Taking a breath of cold air, "Isn't everyone from the entire Jinling City here? Where are His Majesty and the Queen? Why didn't they come when Zhu Ruruo showed his face to them like this?"
Wu Yunqige whispered a lesson: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Even if the emperor and empress came, they would not be here.
…
Among the common people.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying were protected by more than a dozen disguised confidants of the Forbidden Army.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
"I can't wait. I heard that this time there will be more than 300 ships of all kinds and 200 naval warships!"
"I heard that after His Majesty ordered King Yan's naval warships to return, they would fire cannons on the Qinhuai River just like last time when they sent the observation group back. I must say that Your Majesty understands our thoughts."
…
The people's comments swarmed into his ears, and Ma Xiuying glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang from the corner of her eye.
Zhu Yuanzhang's lips almost reached his ears.
Smiling reminder: "Stop laughing."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Ma Xiuying angrily.
…
pier.
Zhu Biao and a group of princes stood at the front, while Liu Bowen and Wang Guangyang, leading the civil and military officials, stood quietly in the back.
"Why hasn't dad come back yet?"
An impatient crisp sound sounded, and everyone followed the sound and looked...
Xiao Qihua was held by Zhu Xi.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Xiao Qihua with envy.
Everyone seems to like the crazy girl from my fourth uncle's family.
Why?
Even the second uncle, instead of hugging his cousin Zhu Shangbing, held the crazy girl from the fourth uncle's family in his arms.
The other imperial uncles wanted to hug him.
The second uncle is also shameless and uses his elder brother status to oppress others.
Why is everyone so nice to the crazy girl!
My mother said it was because of my fourth uncle, who had never been seen before.
What is so special about Fourth Uncle that so many people greet him?
Even his crazy girl is loved by so many people?
"Qihua, how many cannons does your naval warship have in total?" Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "Have you ever seen the scene of your naval warship firing a salvo?"
Xiao Qihua immediately clasped her fingers and calculated over and over again, but the calculation became more and more confusing, so she simply didn't count it, "Uncle, there are so many artillery pieces!"
Ha ha……
Everyone was immediately amused.
The hearty laughter of a group of princes attracted the attention of people around them.
A little further back.
Hu Weiyong came close to Li Shanchang, looked at the Zhu family royal family in front of them who were in a very harmonious atmosphere, and whispered with a smile: "What a harmonious scene."
The Zhu family is now in harmony.
There are multiple factors.
1. Emperor Zhu’s unwavering support for the prince.
2. As the elder brother, Zhu Biao did a good job. At least, whether true or false, he always acted like a brother.
…
But in recent years, so many princes have grown up and been granted vassal status.
But they can still maintain harmony.
There is another factor.
Zhu Silang!
Many princes were looking at Zhu Silang's attitude.
If Zhu Silang was at odds with the prince now, he could be sure that the princes of the old Zhu family would all have their own thoughts in an instant.
Zhu Silang's influence among the Zhu family royal family.
Now he is no lower than the prince.
In the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, he would rather be a farmer than a feudal vassal.
After becoming a farmer, he lived a prosperous life.
Later, Emperor Zhu was even asked to "lower down" and beg to come out to do things.
Across the grassland.
Take the imperial examination.
Then go to Fujian.
It took Zhu Silang less than five years for Fujian, a bottom province, to develop into a major province that contributed taxes to the imperial court.
Ranked among the top seven in all provinces.
During this period, they also captured Dongpan and Palawan overseas.
A naval fleet was formed, consisting of two hundred warships, which was more advanced than the Ming Navy.
The first new army in the army town and the first mixed association.
He has more than 30,000 private soldiers!
If we say that the prince mainly relies on his brothers to impress the princes of the Zhu family.
Well, Zhu Silang's achievements were based on hard work, which made the princes of the Zhu family admire and awe.
Zhu Silang's achievements were almost all achieved through hard work.
Although Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng have been shouting, Zhu Silang is where he is now because of the support of Ming Dynasty.
But everyone knows it in their hearts.
This is just one of the excuses to attack Zhu Silang in the future.
Emperors Ming and Zhu gave Zhu Silang very little support.
Even if there is, Zhu Silang has gone through life and death to find the imperial seal for the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to repay the Ming Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Silang has a very special influence among the princes of the Zhu family.
It can be said that as long as Zhu Silang unswervingly stands on the prince's line and supports the prince's line, the other princes will have no hope and the Zhu family will not be in chaos!
It would be difficult for him to support Zhu Yunwen in the future.
Emperor Zhu is amazing!
I saw this through very early on.
Therefore, despite the objections of the ministers, they tried their best to send Zhu Xiongying to Zhu Silang and Xu Miaoyun.
…
These people who hate Zhu Silang.
It is difficult to do anything from Zhu Silang's side to make Zhu Silang and the prince turn against each other.
This person has no ambitions for Ming Dynasty.
Overseas business is also booming.
For the current plan, we can only start with the prince.
The prince's suspicion of Zhu Silang's huge power will force Zhu Silang to stay away from the prince's lineage!
…
Li Shanchang glanced at Hu Weiyong from the corner of his eye, a cold smile flashed across his lips, and he frowned slightly.
He has become increasingly uneasy recently.
"Wei Yong, I have only been a favor to you, and I am not a master or a disciple. I will no longer be a master and a disciple in the future."
Li Shanchang's words are neither high nor low.
But many people around heard it.
Hu Weiyong looked at Li Shanchang in astonishment.
The surrounding officials turned around with shock on their faces.
Li Shanchang looked calm and calm. He didn't want to be like this, but he really smelled a terrifying and dangerous atmosphere.
Now Hu Weiyong has fallen into a low ebb.
He suddenly proposed to terminate the teacher-student relationship.
It may be misunderstood that he is good at utilitarianism.
Just misunderstand.
It's better to be dragged down by Hu Weiyong.
He needs help from people who hear it, spreading the word.
Hu Weiyong struggled to regain his senses, lowered his head, the sinister look on his face flashed away, he gritted his teeth and clasped his fists: "Weiyong is so high-spirited, please forgive me in South Korea!"
He knew what the old fox was afraid of.
But he is no longer the Hu Weiyong he was before!
The forbearance and dormancy of these years.
He learned a lot.
In the past, Hu Weiyong was arrogant when he got his ambition.
Today's Hu Weiyong is a man who can always be a slave with a smiling face for his own purposes!
Hibernating these years.
He has repeatedly read Wang Mang, Sima Yi, Yang Jian and others, and is best at forbearing the biographies of historical figures.
These people are his role models!
Hu Weiyong turned and left.
"The ship is coming!"
There was a shout, and Li Shanchang looked away.
Everyone looked at the small navy scout boat, paddling rapidly towards them, and their spirits suddenly trembled.
The scout went to the dock and trotted to Zhu Biao, "Prince, the warship of King Yan's navy is already thirty miles downstream!"
Zhu Biao looked at the scout's pale face and was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything and nodded, "I understand."
After the scout left, he turned to look at a group of brothers and said, "The Fourth Brother is coming back."
A group of princes smiled and nodded, their eyes eager to try.
"Fourth brother is finally back."
"Finally I can take a look at Fourth Brother's naval fleet."
…
"Second uncle, I want to go to the ground." Xiao Qihua struggled.
"Little heartless!" Zhu Xi smiled and put Qihua down.
As soon as Xiao Qihua stood firm, she couldn't wait to run to the front of the pier, staring eagerly at the water.
Zhu Shangbing looked up at Zhu Ping.
Zhu Xi smiled and rubbed the little guy's head, "Go ahead."
Zhu Shangbing smiled immediately and trotted to Xiao Qihua's side.
Xiao Qihua took a look, grabbed Zhu Shangbing's little hand, and the two small figures stood at the front of the pier.
"so big……"
Zhu Biao lowered his head and was about to speak to Zhu Yunwen and ask Zhu Yunwen to go too, when suddenly there was a vague uproar in the distance.
Don't care to talk.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
People gathered on both sides of the river bank, extending downstream.
It is impossible to see what is happening downstream.
"King Yan! King Yan! King Yan!"
"King Yan is a thousand years old!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
…
The passionate and high-pitched mountain calls began to become more and more clear from the distance downstream.
All the people watching upstream suddenly started to commotion.
Obviously, King Yan's navy appeared.
And it's certainly spectacular.
Otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
But everyone can't see it.
Zhu Biao turned around and waved, and the attendant from the East Palace approached.
Zhu Biao ordered: "Immediately send people to ride horses on both sides of the Qinhuai River to shout to all the people. Later, the navy will fire cannons to let the people not be afraid."
This matter has been circulated for a long time.
But the voice of Shock Mountain in the distance was so strong.
He was still worried.
Soon, the cavalry galloped away behind the crowds on both sides of the bank.
hiss!
"What kind of monster is this!"
"Is this a ship!?"
…
Just as the cavalry rushed downstream and disappeared from sight soon, there were exclamations and commotion.
The Jinling section of the Qinhuai River is about twenty feet wide.
As far as everyone could see, they saw a behemoth, directly occupying a quarter of the river. Like a giant beast lying on the river, pushing away the river water, splashing high waves, and galloping towards it!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying were dull.
Zhu Yuanzhang murmured in a low voice: "Is this the latest warship built by the Laosi Jilongyu Shipyard?"
This warship appeared in Fujian with Laosi.
The news came from Jinyiwei.
But after all, the written descriptions in the letter cannot be compared with visual observation.
This is too big!
Warships are inherently tall.
The mast is higher than that of a warship.
Three huge sails were spread out, and the entire warship gave people such a strong sense of oppression!
It’s even higher than the height of Jinling City Wall!
Everyone was shocked.
As the fleet approaches, the sense of oppression becomes stronger.
And the view blocked by the flagship gradually became wider.
Behind, the sails were fluttering, and the continuous warships finally came into view!
"Is this the fourth brother's naval fleet?"
"Now I finally know why the scout just now turned pale and scared!"
"Is fourth brother playing so big now?"
…
Exclamations sounded from behind Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, and Zhu 㭎.
The three older brothers came back to their senses and looked at each other with horror in their eyes.
Before seeing two hundred warships, it is impossible to understand how spectacular it is by describing it in words like this.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly feel the shock.
Anyway, as far as they are concerned.
The impact is stronger than a hundred thousand troops standing in formation!
Zhu Cang glanced at Zhu Biao and smiled deliberately: "Brother, the Fourth Brother is playing a little big! This is just a glimpse of us. How about a volley of 1,500 artillery pieces? The day after tomorrow, the emperor is on Hongwu Avenue. What kind of shock will it give us when we review the new army?”
As long as the eldest brother can accommodate the fourth child.
He won’t argue!
Zhu 㭎 also quietly observed Zhu Biao.
There was nothing unusual about Zhu Biao.
"Daddy is back! Dad! The little cotton-padded jacket is here!" Xiao Qihua waved excitedly.
Everyone here is looking at the warships, and they are all shocked by the majesty of Zhu Di's naval fleet.
But little Qihua just wanted to see her father as soon as possible.
Zhu Yunwen was awakened by Xiao Qihua's voice and looked at Xiao Qihua.
Then he stared blankly at the river, at the giant approaching beast, and behind it, a dense mass of black warships.
He stared at the shadowy figures on the warship, trying to find Zhu Di, the fourth uncle who had never been masked.
…
"Master, little junior sister!"
"Little Junior Sister, here..."
…
The bow of the flagship ship.
The children crawled on the edge of the guardrail, pointed at Xiao Qihua and shouted excitedly.
Yong Ming was held by Zhu Di and looked at the scene on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. After seeing little Qihua, he also waved happily, "Sister, daddy and I are back!"
Everyone was attracted by Yong Ming's shouting.
Looked in shock.
Ha ha……
Then he burst into laughter.
Zhu Di smiled angrily and said, "Can you save some face for your father!"
Brat, let him be less reserved, not to make him shameless!
Qihua wanted to be a sister and felt that being a sister was prestigious.
Although this brat dotes on his sister, can't you give him some face in this situation?
Yong Ming held Zhu Di's neck tightly with one hand, smiled more brilliantly, waved vigorously, and whispered: "Dad, let's go ashore and go back to grandpa's house to see mother and brother first, okay?"
Zhu Di smiled and nodded.
While the father and son were talking, the flagship was only three miles away from the dock.
Yu Jing stood at attention and asked in a sonorous voice: "Prince, should we stop the ship?"
"Yes." We will have to fire cannons later, and the distance is too close, which is not good.
"Prince's order, drop anchor and stop the ship!"
Woo woo woo...
The horn sounded.
The exclamations and discussions on the shore disappeared instantly.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the warships.
When the horn sounded, a figure appeared in the middle of the flagship, the highest mast, the highest point.
As the tricolor flag waved.
Behind the flagship, the warships on the river began to move.
Some of the original formations began to lower their sails and flow backward with the water, while others accelerated forward.
More than two hundred warships, in an orderly manner, quickly lined up in a straight line on the river.
A group of merchants and tycoons who followed back had seen the changes in the navy's formation before.
At this moment, they were still watching with relish and shocked.
"Such a visual feast must be the first time for everyone in Jinling City to see it!"
"Listen, can you still hear any sound now? All the onlookers, like us the first time, were shocked and speechless!"
"One thousand five hundred cannons will fire in unison in a while, which is more worth looking forward to! We were not in Jilong Island at the beginning, so we had no chance to see it. After waiting for so many days, we can finally witness this moment!"
...
"Your Majesty, the fleet has been adjusted!" Yu Jing looked at the flag of the flag-bearing soldiers above the mast and reported in a sonorous voice.
Zhu Di nodded and ordered: "Send flags to the shore. In a moment, we will fire all cannons in accordance with the court's order!"
After receiving the order, Yu Jing turned around and took the flag handed over by the soldiers beside him.
He walked quickly to the bow and waved the tricolor flag.
"What is this flag signal?"
"Who can read the flag signal?"
...
The princes were discussing.
Lan Yu came out from the back and reported: "Prince, the King of Yan sent a flag signal to tell everyone that in a moment, there will be a volley of artillery fire."
He went to observe and understand the King of Yan's naval flag signal.
Zhu Biao nodded, "You will reply."
After receiving the order, Lan Yu walked to the front, stood behind Xiao Qihuan and Zhu Shangbing, and waved his hand fiercely.
Then he pulled the two little guys back.
Lest they get scared and fall into the river.
...
On the warship.
Yu Jing smiled and said, "Marquis Yongchang knows our flag signal."
Zhu Di smiled and calmly ordered, "Let's start."
Yu Jing clenched his fist quietly in an instant.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and ordered, "Order all ships, prepare for volley fire!"
Woo woo woo...
With the sound of the horn, the flag soldiers began to pass on the order.
Woo woo woo...
After a while, the horn sounded from time to time.
Until the horn sounded.
Yu Jing looked at Zhu Di.
On the warship, everyone looked at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di certainly understood that at this moment, it meant that the soldiers had finished loading ammunition and were ready to shoot.
Zhu Di looked around the shore, the surging crowd, and suddenly he was a little nervous.
After taking a breath silently, he slowly raised his arm and swung it down.
Woo woo woo...
The horn of the flagship suddenly blew loudly.
"What is this for?"
"I don't know..."
...
Bang bang bang...
In the timid discussion, the sound of artillery suddenly sounded.
On the deck of the flagship, one cannon after another, the first flames burst out, and white smoke enveloped.
Bang bang bang...
Then, the whole river was full of artillery sounds.
Flames spewed and thick smoke billowed.
The warship swayed left and right during the bombardment.
But the people watching on the shore could no longer see the warship. All they could see on the entire river was flames and white smoke.
Hu Weiyong's face was pale without a trace of blood. He stared with wide eyes and his pupils shrank violently. 'Is this Zhu Silang's great navy? If the Wuding Gate was bombarded with live ammunition and the army attacked the city, I'm afraid the dynasty would change today! '
Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru and others stood at the end of the official queue.
Amid the roar of the cannon, his face turned pale in an instant and he fell down with a plop.
Fang Xiaoru and others just glanced at him and did not look down on Huang Zicheng for this.
They were the same.
His ears were buzzing at this moment, and there seemed to be only roaring sounds between heaven and earth.
They had seen a small-scale naval warship volley.
They were mentally prepared.
But at this moment, there was still a sense of heart defense breaking!
This is the power of the King of Yan!
What about others?
Fang Xiaoru tried to stay calm and looked at the superior in front of him.
Everyone was silent, their faces were extremely pale, and their bodies were faintly trembling.
Military generals were better than civil officials, but not much better.
What about the prince?
Will the prince...
Fang Xiaoru looked at Zhu Biao's back through the crowd.
Zhu Biao, as well as all the princes, were all shocked and opened their mouths slightly, their faces pale.
Lan Yu's eyes twitched fiercely, and she looked down at the calm little Qihua, and her lips twitched fiercely again.
This is the difference between Dongfan and Daming.
The eldest daughter of Zhu Laosi grew up in Dongfan, and she may not have seen such a scene.
But she has seen many naval cannons.
But for Daming, this scene is so shocking that it can definitely touch the soul!
But it is really too shocking.
At that time, he advised His Majesty to let all Zhu Laosi's warships fire their cannons again. He did not expect that it would be so shocking!
But, that’s how it should be!
How to reach the depths of the souls of all people in Ming Dynasty without using strong medicine.
No need for strong medicine, these arrogant colleagues behind you are still immersed in the dream of heaven!
With his eyes open, he looks like a blind man.
I will never see that Zhu Laosi went to Dongfan, and Dongfan has changed with each passing day, earth-shaking!
…
The wind seemed to be shaken by the artillery.
There is no wind at all on the Qinhuai River.
After a long time.
The thick smoke slowly dispersed.
Faintly, a ferocious battleship was revealed!
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, both the largest flagship and the other warships behind it looked majestic, like ferocious beasts.
The onlookers finally came to their senses.
"Mom! I thought God was angry!"
"It's terrible! It's terrible!"
"Is this King Yan's navy? This is too powerful!"
"The navy of King Yan is like this, but where is the first town of the army?"
…
Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses amidst the excitement and astonishment of the people. He stared at the flagship slowly starting from the thick fog and approaching the dock. He murmured: "Xiuying, the fourth child is really a heifer. Our son , The heifer is really in heaven!”
At the beginning of his business.
If there were such powerful ships and cannons...
As for the goddam fourth child, it would only be a few years before he went to Fujian.
Better than him!
This time he was relieved!
"Hey, this is our son!"
Ma Xiuying listened to the soliloquy that reached her ears, smiled angrily and glared, now it was his son again.
This man...
"Let's go and greet the fourth child. I'm afraid the fourth child will give us more surprises."
Zhu Biao smiled and said to Zhu Xi and others. He bent down and picked up Zhu Yunwen. He noticed that Zhu Yunwen was shivering all over, so he tightened his arms and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, this is your fourth uncle's navy warship!"
Say it.
Quickly walk to the dock.
After Zhu Biao left, Zhu Xi came back to his senses. He turned around and looked at Zhu Xi, "Fuck the Fourth Brother, what a huge family fortune you have made in these years when you go to Fujian!"
After Zhu Xi finished speaking, a group of princes quickly swarmed towards the front of the dock.
The flagship approaches.
Pedal down.
Lan Yu took the lead in taking Xiao Qihua and Zhu Shangbing on board.
After meeting Zhu Di, he welcomed and thanked Zhu Di with a smile: "Welcome to return to the court, Your Majesty, with this sound, many people in our Ming Dynasty should open their eyes!"
Zhu Di understood immediately.
I'm afraid Lan Yu gave the old man the advice to fire the volley.
Nod with a smile.
Daming opened his eyes, this is a good thing.
Lan Yu whispered: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has decided to review the First Army Town and the new imperial army at Hongwumen the day after tomorrow. Moreover, you will also have the First Army Town conduct a sparring exercise with the Prince Guards and the new Beijing Army. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Zhu Di was slightly stunned.
However, when I think about it, it makes sense.
The old man definitely wants to see the comparison between the eldest brother's Prince Guards, the Beijing Camp New Army, and the Army's First Town.
"Dad..."
Zhu Di was awakened by Xiao Qihua's voice. He lowered his head following the voice and saw Xiao Qihua pouting and raising her hands to beg for a hug.
There was a little boy standing timidly next to him.
Looking at his age, Zhu Di guessed that it was his second brother Jia Shang Bing.
"Daddy hugs!" Zhu Di picked up the two little guys with a smile and looked at the timid little guy, "Shang Bing, right? Your fourth uncle hugged you when you were a child."
Zhu Shangbing was a little shy and nodded, not daring to look at Zhu Di or peek at Zhu Di.
My father and mother often mentioned my fourth uncle.
Mentioned more times than my uncle.
My mother said that my fourth uncle and aunt were still my mother’s benefactors.
Ha ha……
"Fourth child, you are like a heifer to heaven, you want to envy us to death!"
Hearty laughter came.
Zhu Di followed the sound and looked...
Zhu Xi followed Zhu Biao, laughing and joking.
Zhu Di quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Eldest brother, second brother..."
Zhu Biao smiled and patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, "Just come back."
Zhu Yunwen was held by Zhu Biao and looked at Zhu Di curiously.
He had heard many people mention this fourth uncle.
Someone praised.
Some of my grandfather gnashed their teeth and cursed.
This man wore strange clothes and smiled, which made him feel even scarier than when his father was angry.
The continuous thunder just now was caused by this fourth uncle.
"The child pays homage to his father."
An open-minded and friendly voice sounded.
Everyone's eyes shifted and fell on the tall and handsome young man beside Zhu Di.
Zhu Cang, Zhu Yu and others' eyes lit up.
A group of princes couldn't help but look at each other.
Is this a hero? !
He looked at Zhu Di quietly again.
They saw the elegance of the fourth child in Xiongying.
Especially the heroic smile.
So much like the fourth child!
Zhu Biao put Zhu Yunwen down, even though Zhu Xiongying was much taller than a child of his age.
Zhu Biao still couldn't help but smile and hugged her hard.
Unexpectedly, I found that it was very difficult to hold her and I couldn't hold her anymore.
He couldn't help but smile and rubbed Zhu Xiongying's head, "Father can't even hold you now!"
Zhu Xiongying smiled and scratched his head.
Only then did the childishness come out.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying said a few words, then picked up Zhu Yunwen again and looked at Zhu Di, "Fourth, will you show us your flagship?"
Zhu Xi and others all watched eagerly.
Zhu Di smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Of course."
...
When Zhu Di took Zhu Biao to visit the flagship.
The warship behind.
The commanders and deputy commanders of each battalion began to give mobilization speeches.
In the cabin.
Sun Yuanchu stood in front of half of the battalion soldiers.
The remaining half of the battalion, led by the deputy commander, boarded another warship.
Sun Yuanchu looked around at the soldiers who were wearing new military uniforms, carrying marching blankets and muskets.
The light from the oil lamp was dim.
But he could already see the high spirits on the faces of the soldiers.
He nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Brothers of the navy have shown everyone in the Ming Dynasty the powerful side of the prince, and it will soon be the turn of our army."
"I won't say much else, I only have one request, show our best style and show it to everyone!"
Pah!
Half of the battalion, hundreds of soldiers, stood at attention and said in a sonorous voice: "Never embarrass the prince! Never embarrass the prince!"
Sun Yuanchu smiled with satisfaction and ordered: "Line up to get out of the cabin, go to the deck, and wait to get off the ship!"
Tap, tap, tap...
The sound of neat footsteps rang out.
...
Such scenes happened in the cabin of every warship.
Then, teams of soldiers, stepping in neat steps, walked out of the cabin and stood in formation on the deck.
"Look!"
"Look at the deck!"
"Are these the soldiers of the first town of the Yan King's army? So majestic!"
...
On the shore, the people looked at the square formations standing in formation on the deck and exclaimed.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it carefully, but the distance was still a bit far...
Zhu Di had just taken Zhu Biao to visit the animal-powered cabin and came out. Zhu Biao heard the exclamations coming from the cabin and asked curiously, "What happened?"
Zhu Di guessed it and said with a smile, "It should be the soldiers of the First Town leaving the cabin."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di with a smile, and then said, "Let's go and take a look. We have long wanted to see your First Army Town. This time, I brought all the officers and soldiers of the guard."
As he spoke, Zhu Biao quickly left the cabin...
Cheers and exclamations became clearer and clearer...
