evening.
Zhu Xuan returned to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun prepared a banquet to entertain Zhu Xuan. Zhu Xuan would definitely not refuse, but this was the first time that she and her fourth uncle's family had a complete meal.
It still feels pretty good.
At the banquet, Zhu Xuan said nothing about the firearms for the time being, giving Zhu Di enough face. It depends on whether Zhu Di is willing to give himself face and whether he is willing to confess the truth.
But tonight, the specific truth is not yet available.
After meal.
Zhu Xuan continued to go back to his room to rest. There was nothing much to do in Prince Yan's mansion. He simply slept and waited until the next morning. Not long after he got up, Hou Xian came in to communicate.
"Your Highness, Tie Xuan is back."
Hearing that Tie Hyun was back, Zhu Xuan had to go out to greet him.
Tie Xuan was seen waiting outside Prince Yan's palace with more than a dozen followers. When he saw Zhu Xuan coming out, he knelt down and said loudly: "Tie Xuan, pay homage to His Highness the little emperor."
In addition to Tie Xuan, several new generation generals including Geng Xuan, Feng Cheng and Wang De also knelt down to salute Zhu Xuan.
"You're welcome, please get up!"
Zhu Xuan stepped forward, helped them up, and said, "Let's go to the military camp to talk."
Fifty thousand people led by Li Jinglong stationed a military camp in the city. After hearing this, he led the way to the camp.
These were considered Zhu Xuan's people, so they were not allowed to enter Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Your Highness, fortunately we lived up to our command and won a great victory in Peking!"
When they arrived at the camp, Geng Xuan first said: "Not only did we kill almost all the Tatars who went south, we also took the initiative, destroyed many of their tribes, and captured two small earth cities. Within the next ten years, the Tatars will Tatars should not dare to go south again."
They do a really good job.
Use force to intimidate and firearms to suppress.
The Tatars were so suppressed that they trembled and quickly begged the Ming Dynasty for mercy.
Today's Tatars probably feel panicked and frightened when they see the Ming army, and are frightened when they hear the sound of firearms.
"You're doing great!"
Zhu Xuan praised: "When I return to the capital, I will ask for your merits in front of Grandpa Huang. However, Tie Xuan and you must continue to stay in Peiping. Geng Xuan can go back with me."
Tie Xuan said loudly: "I am willing to guard Beiping for Your Highness."
"I am willing to guard Beiping for Your Highness."
Feng Cheng and Wang De said in unison.
Although both of them are Huaixi military generals, the elders in the family are so old that they can hardly walk and can no longer be active in the court. Their ideas are not as stubborn as their elders.
No matter who the emperor's grandson is, as long as he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, that is enough. This is their thinking.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Xuan said, and then added: "But the hardest one is Tie Xuan. All the soldiers in Beiping were subdued by your tricks."
The generals stationed in Peiping were still dominated by Tie Xuan.
Feng Cheng and Wang De are not as capable as Tie Xuan, they are just support.
Hearing this, Tie Xuan just smiled and said: "It's not hard work, it's easy to do."
"Have you found any problems with firearms in the Peking Army?"
Zhu Xuan asked again.
Tie Xuan still didn't know about the unknown troops, but when Zhu Xuan asked about it, he said solemnly: "The firearms in Peking are very worn out. Both ammunition and firearms are replaced very frequently. His Highness King Yan often asks people to Return to the capital and ask the Ministry of War for firearms. I shouldn’t have said these words, but I still can’t help but say that. In addition, I also believe that the Tatars’ march south has an inescapable relationship with His Highness King Yan.”
Having said this, he knelt down and said: "I am not deliberately trying to sow discord between His Highness and King Yan, but there is really... a problem!"
Whose private soldier is that unknown force? Then who is the one who started the war?
Even if Tie Hyun didn't say it, Zhu Xuan could think of it.
Hearing this, he nodded in agreement: "Get up! I can think of these, and you did nothing wrong. Some things are really difficult to decide. It still depends on what Grandpa Huang thinks!"
"Your Highness is wise."
Tie Xuan said loudly.
Zhu Xuan said again: "I heard that Grandpa Huang also asked you to beat your fourth uncle?"
Tie Xuan nodded and said: "His Majesty sent someone a thorn stick full of thorns. I gave King Yan ten whips. The soldiers in Peiping almost mutinied because of this."
"It sounds pretty serious."
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "My fourth uncle will never repent. He will not know his fault until the moment he is about to die."
"Forget it, don't talk about this."
"The defense of the north depends entirely on you."
he said again.
Tie Xuan and Geng Xuan could tell that Zhu Xuan could talk about King Yan directly in front of him, which showed his absolute trust in them.
Li Jinglong can also feel the trust from Zhu Xuan.
At this time, they burst into tears of gratitude.
I feel that I cannot escape from the position of Minister of the Dragon. His Highness has been so kind to them, and I will do my best to repay His Highness in the future.
Zhu Xuan stayed at the camp for a short time and soon returned to the city.
Zhu Di felt a little uneasy about Zhu Xuan taking a group of people out.
But there are some things that he can't avoid.
Yao Guangxiao suggested that Zhu Di should make false claims, but Zhu Di decided not to make false claims.
As it should be, so be it.
After all, there are many things that they cannot change, as if everything is a foregone conclusion, and if they are faked, the problems will be more serious.
The suggestions given by Yao Guangxiao recently were not very effective, which also made Zhu Di uneasy and he did not dare to use the plan given by Yao Guangxiao.
"Fourth uncle, are you okay?"
As soon as Zhu Xuan came back, he asked Zhu Di about firearms.
Zhu Di hesitated and struggled for a long time, and said helplessly: "After checking, my Peiping army did lose a lot of firearms and ammunition. The firearms circulating outside should all come from me."
His words were still relatively reserved.
There are also some parts where I didn’t say it clearly, I just admitted that firearms were my problem.
"This is the roster, Xiao Yunxuan, please take a look."
Zhu Di presented the roster.
Zhu Xuan turned it over and saw that what was recorded above was the number and type of missing firearms. The writing was still very detailed. As for whether there was any problem with the data, only Zhu Di knew.
"I want to take it back to Grandpa Huang. Is it okay with Fourth Uncle?"
Zhu Xuan asked after looking at it for a while.
Zhu Di nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem! These things should be shown to the father, and little Yunxuan can take them back as he pleases."
Zhu Xuan said: "I am relieved to have the fourth uncle's consent, but... I don't know how Grandpa Huang will treat the fourth uncle. After all, this matter is very serious."
Zhu Xuan still admires his fourth uncle Zhu Di.
When it comes to respect, I still have it.
As the future Emperor Yongle, the fourth uncle is still very powerful and very strong.
It can be said that under the leadership of his fourth uncle, Ming Dynasty reached another peak.
However, now that Zhu Di has come into contact with Zhu Xuan's interests, their uncle and nephew are destined to become enemies, unless Zhu Di is willing to bow his head, or Zhu Yuanzhang cuts Zhu Di with a knife.
