Chapter 394: Zhu Di's First Victory
"Lord Qiyu, the front is Liquan County."
On horseback, sat a young man, who was at most twenty years old, named Zhu Chang (zhan), the 16th son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was named King of Qing.
His situation is more interesting, in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, he was in Ningxia, but after arriving there, this unlucky child cried directly.
At that time, the entire northwest was very barren because of years of war. This is not simply a question of poverty. You must know that as early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, this piece of the northwest fell into the hands of the party members, and later established the Western Xia and fought with the Northern Song Dynasty for many years, so that the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty suffered a lot.
Later, the Mongols destroyed the Western Xia and slaughtered the region, causing unprecedented destruction in the region.
Before he could recover for a breath, it was another chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the lives were ruined again.
In the northwest, except for the slightly better situation around Xi'an, further north, even the number of Han people is very scarce, and it can be said that there is no rooster crying for thousands of miles.
was sealed by his father to a place where birds don't, and Zhu Chang was about to cry.
He had no choice but to be stationed in Weizhou first, but the property in Weizhou was not enough to feed the palace, so he could only collect food and wages in Yan'an, Suide, Ningxia and other places to support the use of the three guards of the palace.
Compared with other brothers, Zhu Di occupies Beiping, a city can feed tens of thousands of people, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, is in Taiyuan, and he is also fat, what else is the king of Qi, the king of Shu, anyway, they are better than him.
Relying on three places to collect grain, it is impossible to feed 10,000 people.
The three guards of the palace, starting at least 3,000, at most 19,000, this is the nominal establishment, Zhu Di is undoubtedly the full staff, and Zhu Chang, he is not afraid of jokes when he says it, there are only 2,500 people in each guard, and he has not even reached the passing line.
is still the same sentence, whoever made you born late, the good places were all occupied, and there was not even a place to shout grievances.
But later, Zhu Chang really thought of a way, he fell in love with Xi'an.
That's right, it's the fief of King Qin.
Zhu Fan died of depression in the capital because he was implicated in the eldest brother's case. Lao Zhu was also angry with the Qin family, and did not let his grandson inherit the throne for a long time.
Zhu Chang wondered if he could have a dove to occupy the magpie's nest and get Xi'an into his hands.
He doesn't have such lofty ideals, he can find a comfortable nest, settle down, and be the emperor of the soil happily.
As for everything else, it's too far away from him.
It's just that in the entire Hongwu Dynasty, he didn't have the courage to bring it up. It's a shame to say, didn't you make a unicorn scandal? Zhu Chang also spent a lot of effort to find a white camel and a white yak, and prepared to make a few auspicious things to give to his father, so that his father was happy and changed places.
But who knew that he had just made preparations, and the court issued a decree to tell all the ministers that they were not allowed to offer auspicious luck. Zhu Chang was so angry, simply, he roasted the white camel and ate it, he was poor, he couldn't waste it!
is such an unlucky prince, suddenly came to work, not long ago, a secret envoy came to the capital and sent a will to Zhu Chang.
His Majesty intends to invite King Yan to Beijing to discuss state affairs.
Lest King Yan disagree, let him lead 3,000 men and horses to escort King Yan into Beijing, and after the matter is completed, he will be rewarded.
As for what the reward is, it is exactly what Zhu Chang dreams of changing his fiefdom and allowing him to conquer Xi'an!
Zhu Chang is not stupid, what escort Yan Wang is, it is clear that he will arrest the fourth brother into Yingtian, discuss national affairs, and dream about it! When he arrived, he was imprisoned.
Although Lao Tzu is far away and not well-informed, I also know that Liu Chun is dead.
Killing a teacher is like killing a father, and then giving an uncle is just right. But what does it matter? What I want is Xi'an, as long as I can change a fiefdom, I am willing to exchange the fourth brother for a better life!
"Brothers, work hard, hurry up to Liquan, see my fourth brother, this king has a lot of rewards!"
Zhu Chang led the men and horses to the south quickly, he divided into two teams, surrounded Liquan, and led people in to find it.
Gone!
Zhu Di is not in Liquan!
What's the matter, could it be that he got the news and has run back to his lair in Beiping?
Zhu Chang felt bad, he immediately ordered the horses to disperse and look in all directions, but found out the news that Zhu Di's men and horses were going in the direction of Xianyang.
Zhu Chang felt more and more that Zhu Di was planning to run east along the direction of the Yellow River and want to return to his old nest.
He immediately divided 1,500 men and horses and rushed straight to Lintong to cut off Zhu Di's eastward escape route, and then sent 500 men and horses to Xingping, and from there he made a detour to Xi'an to inform the guards that if he met Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he would stay immediately and not allow Zhu Di to leave.
After dividing the troops, Zhu Chang personally took a thousand soldiers and horses and swaggered towards Xianyang.
……
"Lord Wang, King Qing's soldiers are divided into three routes, and he personally came to attack Xianyang...... This brother of yours is kind of funny! Zhu Neng said with a smile, he was most afraid that King Qing would raise troops to attack, in that case, they would not have the strength to fight back at all.
But who knew that Zhu Chang actually had a brain pump and took the initiative to divide the troops, isn't this looking for death!
Zhu Di took a deep breath, a rare smile appeared on his face, Zhu Chang was born in the eleventh year of Hongwu, that year Zhu Di happened to go to Fengyang to experience life, and two years later he was in Beiping.
Although the two are brothers, they don't have much to do with each other.
However, Zhu Di can understand Zhu Chang's thoughts very well, first of all, Zhu Chang holds the emperor's order, which is the biggest weapon. Secondly, Zhu Di patrolled the border, and there were only 100 people around him.
He still doesn't tie his hands, so what can he do?
But Zhu Di just didn't expect that Zhu Di just had the courage to fight!
However, even if there are only 1,000 people, the ratio of troops is still very different.
Zhu Di raided Xianyang, as a small county, there are only two or three hundred soldiers and horses here, and Zhu Di is the prince of the border patrol, they let Zhu Di in without preparation, so that Zhu Laosi picked up a bargain.
But then it didn't work.
Zhu Chang led the troops to come, and Zhu Di stood alone at the head of the city.
Look at the people below!
"Sixteenth brother, you are really here!"
Zhu Chang raised his head and smiled at the fourth brother, "The younger brother came to visit the elder brother, and asked the elder brother to let the younger brother enter the city to talk about the brother's feelings." ”
Zhu Di laughed, "Sixteenth brother, do you really think that being a brother is a fool?" Zhu Yunwen did not follow the ancestral teachings of the first emperor, opposed the change of the law, and assassinated Liu Chun. As the most supportive vassal king of the law, how can this king escape his poisonous hands with military power in his hands! It's just that I didn't expect that the sixteenth brother would be willing to be his lackey? “
"Zhu Chang! Have you forgotten the truth that your lips are cold and your teeth are cold? Zhu Di asked loudly, "I'm dead, and the next thing is King Zhou, King Qi, Acting King, and of course, King Qing!" Don't forget, in addition to opposing the change of the law, Zhu Yunwen is a strong advocate of cutting the domain! We are all thorns in his side and thorns in his flesh. You help him kill the fourth brother, and then he will kill you! Sixteenth brother, you read a lot, can't you even understand this? ”
Zhu Chang groaned slightly, could he not understand? But the question is that his power is weak, what can he do! Don't talk about him, even if it's the fourth brother Zhu Di, what can you do? If the Son of Heaven wants to kill you, there is no other way but to be restrained.
"Fourth brother, you are really joking, the younger brother can't understand what you say, I'm going to enter the city now!"
Zhu Chang urged his subordinates to kill them.
But at this moment, Zhu Di suddenly had a beard and roared: "I, Zhu Di, stand up to the sky and the earth, and will never be humiliated by the villain, I would rather die than fall into the hands of the little child Zhu Yunwen, be bullied and tortured by him, and lose my father's face in vain!" ”
"Sixteenth brother, the fourth brother doesn't blame you, Zhu Yunwen wants to see it, let him see my head!"
After speaking, Zhu Di took out his saber and slashed it on his neck, and suddenly blood splattered, and his tall body fell down with a bang!
"Ahh
Zhu Chang was so frightened that his soul was not possessed!
Broken!
The fourth brother committed suicide!
Now Zhu Chang is stupid, if he can send Zhu Di into the capital smoothly, it will be a credit, but if Zhu Di dies, in order to calm the anger of the public, will he deduct the crime of killing Zhu Di on his head?
"Fourth brother, you can't die!"
Zhu Chang didn't care about anything this time, and rushed to the front.
His men pushed open the hidden gates, and the first one rushed in.
Even the city gate is not closed, it is definitely not the meaning of war, the fourth brother is really determined to die, the fourth brother, you are dead, but you can kill the younger brother!
Zhu Chang rushed in desperately, he abandoned his horse, followed the steps, and climbed to the top of the city wall, and when he climbed up out of breath, he found Zhu Di's body lying there, and there were still blood stains on the ground!
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! ”
He rushed over and hugged Zhu Di, so anxious that he cried.
"Fourth brother, you can't die, if you die, the younger brother won't be able to live, the younger brother and you are two grasshoppers on the same rope!"
"Quick, go get a military doctor!"
He was shouting, when suddenly the corpse in his arms let out a chuckle, and a familiar voice sounded, "Sixteenth brother, since you and the fourth brother live and die together, why don't you crusade against the little child Zhu Yunwen together?" ”
"Ahh
Zhu Chang was startled and sat down in fright, at this moment, Zhu Di reached out two big hands, grabbed Zhu Chang's shoulders, like iron pliers, and grabbed him firmly, and then the two of them slowly stood up.
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Chang's subordinates, and before these people could react to what was going on, the prince was arrested.
Some people were furious, and they came up with weapons.
Zhu Di suddenly yelled, "Look back!" ”
Sure enough, at this moment, shouts of killing came from everywhere in the city, and Zhu Neng led the men and horses to quickly seize the city gate, dividing Zhu Chang's men and horses into two halves.
Most of them were outside the city, and less than fifty people entered the city!
Zhu Di smiled dumbly, he threw the pork skin around his neck aside, and casually threw a urine bubble containing sheep blood on the ground. He smiled at Zhu Yan and said, "Carving insect skills, I didn't expect the sixteenth brother to care so much about the fourth brother, which shows that we have a deep brotherly relationship." What do you think? Let's do it with the fourth brother! ”
Zhu Chang was about to cry, "Fourth brother, let go of the little brother!" I, I beg you! ”
Zhu Di ignored him, but reached out and wiped it in his arms for a while, and took out the holy decree, Zhu Di opened it by himself, glanced at the content on it, and immediately sneered: "Sure enough, this king's mind is far less vicious than that little child, he is really fast!" ”
Zhu Chang really cried, fourth brother, you are not bad, the most pitiful is me......
