Huacheng County, Taishou Mansion.
Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Youjian to him and said, "The post of prefect of Huacheng County will be given to you."
"Ah?" Zhu Youjian was shocked, and quickly stepped back and waved his hands: "I can't do this, Grandpa Taizu."
"Why can't you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Youjian covered his face with his hands and said: "I am a subjugated king and a useless person."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Do you still want to be a king in this life?"
Zhu Youjian was startled, shook his head quickly and said: "No, no, Grandpa, what I mean is"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to stop his explanation and said: "I know very well what you want to say. There is no need to explain. You must do this as the prefect, and you must do it well. If you can't do it well, don't give up your surname Zhu."
Zhu Youjian looked startled, and then said extremely unconfidently: "Grandpa Taizu, can I?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "I don't know, but I have to do it. If you don't even dare to do it, how dare you say that you are my descendant, Zhu Yuanzhang?"
"Besides, I asked you to be the prefect of a county, but you are not the king of a country. You can't make up your mind about what happens, and I am here with your great ancestor. What are you afraid of?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked directly at Zhu Youjian and said.
When Zhu Youjian heard this, his panic finally calmed down. He glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, then turned to look at the ancestors around him, and found that except Zhu Yunwen, they all looked at him with encouragement.
Especially Zhu Di, of course he understands Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts. This is to restore Zhu Youjian's self-confidence. It cannot be justified to be so decadent.
With ancestors like them taking care of him, there is no reason why Zhu Youjian can't even be a prefect. If he can do a good job as a prefect, then he can regain some of his shame as a subjugated king and his lost self-confidence.
So I just heard Zhu Di say to Zhu Youjian: "Boy, let me give you a suggestion. As a prefect, go out of the city more often to see the people's sentiments, do more practical things, and don't always immerse yourself in the party's officialdom."
Zhu Youjian listened to Zhu Di's kind reminder and saw the encouraging eyes of the ancestors around him. He suddenly felt warm in his heart and was no longer so afraid of becoming a prefect.
After all, with Grandpa Taizu and all the ancestors behind me, I just have to do things honestly.
"Yes, Zhu Youjian must work diligently and not let Grandpa Taizu and all the ancestors down!" Zhu Youjian immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then asked Qiluo to hand over the newly carved seal of the Huacheng County Prefect to Zhu Youjian.
After Zhu Youjian took the seal, he bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang again and then withdrew.
At this time Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji."
Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji immediately stepped forward, bowed their hands to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Here you are."
Zhu Yuanzhang first asked Zhu Di: "How many troops are available in the vanguard camp now?"
Zhu Di said: "There are 50,000 people who have been trained and ready to be used in battle."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then asked: "Where are the weapons and armor?"
Zhu Di said: "There are enough ordnance, but not much armor. There are only five thousand pairs of armor."
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Zhanji again: "I ordered you to organize and train a new army. How many people are available now?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Back to Grandpa Taizu, the new army has 30,000 soldiers. It has sufficient weapons, swords, swords, halberds, shields and other weapons, but no armor."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and said: "That means there are a total of 80,000 people available. From these 80,000 people, we will immediately select 5,000 elites, all equipped with war horses and armor."
Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this. In this way, there were five thousand armored cavalry, which was a nearly invincible force to the infantry.
So Zhu Di quickly asked: "Father, is there another war?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is a war, but it is not here with us."
"Oh?" Zhu Di was a little surprised. Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Zhu Di and said, "Come forward."
Zhu Di's heart skipped a beat subconsciously, but when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look like he was going to beat him, he stepped forward and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's case.
I saw Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to push the map on the case, then pointed at the map and drew a straight line from Huacheng County to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and said: "I want you to lead these five thousand troops, all the way to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Yancheng.”
"Ah this." Zhu Di was suddenly startled, but he felt it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.
On the other hand, Zhu Yunwen's face paled when he saw this scene, as if he remembered some unforgettable memory.
Zhu Yuanzhang also said: "How about it? This was the case from Yanjing to Nanjing. This is your strength."
"." Zhu Di suddenly reacted when he heard this, and immediately confessed: "Father, please forgive me."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond to him. Instead, he raised his hand and tapped on the map and asked, "Do you dare to go?"
Zhu Di raised his head and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Father, I dare you to go."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Okay, then I will order you to order all the troops and horses within five days, bring dry food, and then set off."
"My son, I obey!" Zhu Di responded with cupped hands.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Zhanji: "Zhanji, merge the new army with the Pioneer Battalion. You lead 30,000 people to Yuyan County and attack Lucheng County from Yuyan County."
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji immediately stepped forward to take the order.
Finally Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "Zhu Houzhao."
Zhu Houzhao immediately jumped out and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandpa Taizu, please give me your instructions."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I order you to lead 30,000 people to Loufan County to resist the invasion of the Zhou Dynasty."
Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Yes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The remaining fifteen thousand people are stationed in Huacheng County. Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Zaihe, Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Changluo must handle the collection of money, grain and baggage, and the transportation and supply of supplies without any mistakes. "
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi and others immediately stepped forward and bowed: "As you command!"
Zizhengguo, Yangxia County, Lingxia Mountain.
Several kitten demons were lying on the hillside stroking their bulging bellies and basking in the sun. Mao Zuanfeng held a piece of grass in his mouth, rested his hands on the back of his head, put his right leg on top of his left leg and said, "Recently, No one buys elixirs anymore, and those gods don’t make elixirs anymore? As a result, we had nothing to do all day long, eating and sleeping, and I gained several pounds."
"I heard that Zhenyang Dao Palace is fighting with the Heavenly Court. All the gods have been recruited by Zhenyang Dao Palace, so naturally no one comes to buy the fairy medicine." Mao Gou'er said.
Mao Jiu'er heard this and said in surprise: "You are so brave to fight with Heaven?"
Mao Hua'er burped at this time and said: "It doesn't matter who they fight with, the food cooked by Sister Ling'er is really delicious, especially the fried meat with bamboo shoots, which is my favorite. I don't think anyone buys the elixir." Okay, how laid back.”
"Yes, the food cooked by Sister Ling'er is the most delicious, but the food cooked by Sister Qingxianzi is inedible at all," Mao Ling'er said.
"Eat, eat, eat, these lazy cats only know how to eat." Suddenly, a voice came over, making all the kitten monsters on this slope raise their heads.
I saw a young Taoist priest in the Void Realm wearing a moon-white Taoist robe with a straight and tall figure landing on the grassy slope of the main peak of Lingxia Mountain. He looked at the cat demons lying on the grassy slope and said.
The little kitten monsters were immediately furious, especially Mao Zuanfeng, who pointed directly at the young Taoist priest and said, "Zhou Qinghan, what do you mean?"
Mao Gou'er said: "Your school has moved away, but you still stay in Yangxia County. How dare you blame us!"
Mao Hua'er took out a meteor hammer directly from the storage bag, held the iron chain in her hand, rounded it and said to Zhou Qing: "Have you eaten? If not, I'll hit you!"
'Huh' As he spoke, the meteor hammer turned into a meteor and hit Zhou Qinghan's head.
Zhou Qinghan smiled faintly, raised his hand and grabbed the meteor hammer with a single palm, but suddenly there was a sound of wind behind his head, and then with a 'bang', another meteor hammer hit Zhou Qinghan hard. The blow to the back of his head caused Zhou Qinghan to grin.
Zhou Qinghan turned around and saw that Cat and Dog had run behind him at some point. It was she who had thrown the bolas.
The cats and dogs clapped their hands and said proudly to Zhou Qing: "Be careful what you say in the future, my cats and dogs are by no means kind!"
