After finishing speaking, Han Du looked at Lan Yu with a burning expression. This means that if you want to be a grand master like the King of Zhongshan, can you have the skills of the King of Zhongshan?
Lan Yu himself also knew that if he was just leading troops to fight, he would be considered to be no weaker than Xu Da if he was more arrogant. But when it comes to political methods, he himself doesn't think he can compare with King Zhongshan.
She had let out all her harsh words, but now she suddenly realized that she seemed not qualified enough, and Lan Yu suddenly felt a little worried on her face. He calmly kept his mouth shut, drank another bowl of wine, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Does this wise brother mean that someone is just wishful thinking?"
Han Du said bluntly: "From now on, both my brother's military achievements and qualifications are far inferior to those when King Zhongshan was the Grand Master."
Lan Yu glanced at Han Du and said coldly: "It's just military merit. Someone will definitely make a greater contribution than the King of Zhongshan."
Han Du felt helpless when he saw Lan Yu clinging to the position of Grand Master without hitting the south wall and looking back.
Since Lan Yu refused to give up, he was not prepared to say anything else. He just reminded: "Brother, the grand master ranks first among the three princes. To establish him or not? Who to appoint him? It all depends on the emperor's decision. If the emperor appoints his elder brother as the grand master, I will naturally congratulate him. But if the emperor does not ask for it, My brother must not take the initiative to ask for the title of Grand Master."
After listening to this, Lan Yu could not help but pause while holding the bowl. Don't tell me, he really wanted to ask for it. In his opinion, it is just an official position. As long as his credit is great enough, why can't he do it?
But facing Han Du's warning eyes, the retort came to his lips and was suppressed by Lan Yu. He just nodded and replied calmly: "I know."
Han Du was reassured and felt relieved. I just feel that just another guarantee may not be of much use. Since Lan Yu has already had this idea, it is impossible for Qi Qi to ask Lao Zhu for a grand master in the future.
"No, I can't take it lightly. I have to send someone to keep an eye on Lan Yu. I can't let anyone do such a stupid thing. I'm afraid it's not safe enough to keep an eye on him. I might as well find a way to hold him back when the time comes. .”
Lan Yu didn't know that Han Du was thinking about how to stop him in the future. He simply didn't want to talk about this issue.
Han Du, on the other hand, felt that if he continued to chat, Lan Yu would become rebellious and do what he was told he must not do, but he would do it. Wouldn't that be harmful to him?
Simply change the subject and talk about the waves and the seabirds that have appeared.
The fleet safely arrived at Dagokou again. Zhu Di had sent people to level up the place, and it was much better than the last time they came.
The last time I came here, it was a completely deserted land overgrown with weeds and scattered rocks. Now it is much better, at least it looks smooth, square and ridged, which makes people look much more comfortable.
Zhu Di also came to pick them up in person this time. As soon as he saw Feng Sheng and Fu Youde disembarking from the boat, he dismounted and hurried over.
He bowed his hands and said, "The last general, Zhu Di, pays homage to Commander Feng."
He looked excited, seeing Feng Sheng was like a soldier seeing his coach.
Naturally, Feng Sheng did not dare to accept King Yan's courtesy and quickly turned aside to avoid it. Instead, he saluted King Yan and said, "Your Majesty, Feng Sheng, pays homage to His Highness King Yan."
"Your Majesty, Fu Youde, pays homage to King Yan..."
"My ministers, please pay your respects to King Yan..."
Zhu Di immediately helped Feng Sheng up and said with a look of remorse: "What is Commander Feng doing? I should be paying homage to the commander-in-chief."
When Zhu Di obeyed orders under Feng Sheng, Zhu Di had not yet been crowned king at that time, and it was the emperor who put him under Feng Sheng to learn how to march and fight. Therefore, when Zhu Di saluted Feng Sheng as a junior general, it was in line with etiquette for Feng Sheng to accept it.
But now that Zhu Di has been granted the title of King of Yan, and there is a difference between monarch and minister, Feng Sheng naturally refuses to accept his courtesy.
Feng Sheng stood up quickly with Zhu Di's help.
When Zhu Di saw that Feng Sheng was determined not to accept his courtesy, he had no choice but to give up. He said to the others: "Everyone, please forgive me."
"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan~"
While everyone was reminiscing, Han Du looked around and saw that this place was very different from the last time he came here. Then he asked Zhu Di with a smile, "May I ask the prince, did the prince send people to level this place?"
Zhu Di nodded slightly and said: "Yes, last time I saw that this place was in a mess and it was inconvenient to transport food and grass. Thinking that you would have to transport food and grass here, I asked someone to repair it."
"Your Majesty is really thoughtful." Han Du nodded and complimented.
Zhu Di was obviously very impressed by Han Du's words. He stroked his short beard and looked at Han Du with a smile.
"However, why doesn't the prince build this place with cement and build a cement highway directly to Beiping? Wouldn't it be better?" Han Du was a little strange. It was obvious that this place had been leveled, but he did not continue to build it into cement concrete. . It's like taking off your pants and being unable to get up or down, which is extremely uncomfortable.
Han Du couldn't bear this situation the most. He could obviously build it beautifully with cement, but he had to stop and leave this scene of dirt and gravel on the ground.
Zhu Di was embarrassed, sighed and said: "Well... that's because... it's because of the construction of a cement highway from Peking to Shanhaiguan. In order to build this highway, I will use all the cement in Peiping to build this highway." Everything has been allocated, and there is really no extra to build here. But wait, when the cement avenue in Shanhaiguan is completed, I will start building it here.
Han Du just said it casually. After hearing Zhu Di's explanation, he didn't feel anything was wrong. He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that it was almost time to reminisce about old times, Zhu Di raised his voice and said with a smile: "I have prepared a banquet in the palace to greet Feng Shuai and everyone, please!"
Everyone got on their horses one after another, guarded by cavalry all the way, and galloped towards Peiping.
...
In February of the 19th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang worshiped Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Dynasty, as his general to conquer the captives. Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying, and Lan Yu, the Marquis of Yongchang, were the deputy generals on the left and right. Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Nanxiong, and Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, were the left counselors. Hu Hai, the Marquis of Dongchuan, and Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, were the generals on the left. As the right-hand general, the former military governor Shang Yan was the military counselor, and he led an army of 200,000 to the north to march out of Naha, the late Yuan Taiwei.
King Zhu Di of Yan, with the dignity of a prince, went out with the army.
In Prince Yan's Mansion, Feng Sheng ordered Han Du to lead the navy northward to attack Jinshan and cut off Naha's retreat.
Han Du took the order and went out, taking the soup cauldron towards Dagokou.
Back on the warship, Tang Ding looked even more excited than Han Du and immediately asked the navy to prepare for sailing.
