"Ahem."
The commander-in-chief sitting at the top coughed slightly, and the generals who were arguing endlessly in the audience suddenly fell silent.
"Master Imperial Master, we need to transport food back. I'm afraid it will be delayed, but you don't have to worry too much."
"When I came here, I personally met with the Imperial Preceptor, and even received the Imperial Preceptor's secret order."
"The Imperial Preceptor is also worried that the situation on Tsushima Island will not be very good, and the food may even be damaged and transferred. In this regard, the Imperial Preceptor has also taken precautions."
As soon as these words came out, the Korean generals below suddenly became happy.
"Let me tell you, the Imperial Master is so good at predicting events and strategizing. How could he not predict the situation here? It seems that he has been prepared for it."
"General, please tell me what kind of secret order the Imperial Preceptor gave, and whether he is planning to send us food."
"Food will definitely be sent here. Otherwise, how can we hold on in the past few months? I'm afraid our brothers here will starve to death before the Japanese soldiers and horses arrive."
Listening to the speculations of the generals below, the commander-in-chief felt slightly embarrassed, but he still said: "If we really encounter a big problem here, the Imperial Master will certainly not leave it alone. Don't worry, everyone."
"As for the secret order from the Imperial Preceptor, it was specially granted by us under the current circumstances so that we can act expediently."
"Especially when there is a shortage of food, we can take the initiative to send troops to collect food from the local areas of the Japanese country."
"According to the wishes of the Imperial Preceptor, when we pacify the Japanese this time, we are pacifying the Japanese pirates, not the Japanese country. However, the court of the Japanese country has not done anything yet and can only go over and help."
"It's just help. Naturally, the people of Japan have to bear part of the rations needed by the army."
"Brothers said, this is the truth."
More than a dozen generals suddenly became elated.
Among them, the bearded general who spoke earlier stood up and asked, "Do you take what the general said seriously?"
The commander-in-chief said unhappily: "There is no such thing as joking in the army. You, the general, are not joking with us."
The bearded general immediately laughed and said, "Don't be surprised, General. I just feel that the Imperial Preceptor really understands my thoughts by arranging this."
"These Japanese bandits are inherently vulnerable to our army. If they are allowed to invade our country, Korea, now we have to return to them double the violations we have suffered over the years."
When the generals heard this, they all laughed happily.
Now they can be said to be full of confidence. The Japanese army on Tsushima Island was completely destroyed, and the losses of the Goryeo Army were less than ten thousand people. This was an absolute victory.
After this battle, the Goryeo general discovered that the Japanese army was actually so bad. It turned out that the Japanese invaders invaded the coast because they were difficult to find.
Now go straight to Huanglong and see where they can hide.
Seeing the reaction of the generals below, the commander-in-chief sighed in his heart: The military morale is available, and it’s time for us to go to Japan for a walk.
...
Zhu Ying only randomly checked less than eight health centers today, but she was still quite satisfied.
As the garrison stationed in the capital, for now, it is the elite of the entire Ming Dynasty. Most of the soldiers have faced the battlefield directly.
Even the soldiers guarding the frontier are still lagging behind the elites in the capital.
This also has a lot to do with the fact that the Ming Dynasty was less than 30 years old. The most elite soldiers naturally defended the capital.
The real decay will only begin after several generations, when there is no war, and the soldiers on the frontier will far surpass the capital.
At this point, Zhu Ying understood very well, so he had already begun to plan in his mind. In the future, the elites of the capital must have the qualifications to guard the border before they can be officially established.
This means that if you want to serve as a soldier in the capital, you must stay on the frontier for at least five years before you can serve.
The hereditary system of the military household system must be broken.
Regarding these, Zhu Ying is not in a hurry to talk to the old man at the moment. After all, he is still young and there will be plenty of opportunities later.
These officers and soldiers of the Capital Guard performed very well in the new drills. Except for a few who were illiterate, some of them had the same hands and feet, and could not tell the difference between left and right. Most of them had good physical fitness and disciplined obedience, and they all performed very well.
When the time comes for the grand military parade, there will be something to see.
When it was almost dark, Zhu Ying returned to Kunning Palace to continue reviewing the memorials.
It is impossible to stop reviewing memorials.
What happens in various places every day is reflected in the memorials. In the palace, you can only obtain intelligence information about the entire Ming Dynasty through these.
"Your Highness, Your Highness Yuwen is asking for an audience."
Not long after, Guo Zhong came in and reported.
"Let him in."
Zhu Ying put down the pen in his hand and said.
Zhu Ying felt a little confused about Zhu Yunwen coming to see him. According to the current situation, although Zhu Yunwen did not say that he hated himself, he definitely did not want to meet him.
This was obvious in the morning court. Every time during the morning court, Zhu Yunwen would subconsciously avoid looking at him.
Soon, Zhu Yunwen walked in, bowed and said: "My younger brother Yunwen, I would like to pay my respects to my eldest brother."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Second brother came to me at this time, but there is something wrong."
Zhu Ying still had a lot to do every day, so she didn't bother to talk about it and asked directly.
Zhu Yunwen obviously didn't expect his elder brother to be so direct, and he didn't know how to answer the question for a while.
Zhu Ying chuckled and said, "As a brother, please sit down first. Yue Qing, bring me the tea leaves I have collected and make a pot for my second brother."
Zhu Yunwen was immediately at a loss and could only say quickly: "Thank you, brother."
Zhu Ying smiled and said: "You and I, brothers, why do we need to say thank you? However, I have really had a lot of things to do for my brother recently. Don't blame me for treating you coldly."
Zhu Ying didn't have much focus on Zhu Yunwen. In name, he was also his biological brother, although he was half-brother.
As a grandson, you may or may not pay attention to some things.
But in the palace, Zhu Ying felt that there was no need to deliberately treat a certain prince harshly, and he did not want to confront him at the moment.
Even Zhu Yunwen, who had been declared the grandson before, had not done anything evil in the current situation.
Zhu Ying is not a petty person, and there is nothing wrong with being a little grand. After all, there are more princes and grandsons now, and they have a good reputation, which also avoids backyard fires.
The tea brought is West Lake Longjing, with fine buds before the rain.
One flag and one gun from it are especially valuable.
The fragrance is as fragrant as orchid, refreshing the heart and spleen, and the fragrance flows between the teeth. Zhu Yunzhen took a sip and felt particularly comfortable in his heart.
At present, West Lake Longjing is not well-known in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not even included in the ranks of tribute tea. It became famous only in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and its peak was the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, not being famous does not mean that the current West Lake Longjing is not delicious.
The color of the soup is apricot green, clear and bright, the bottoms of the leaves are tender green, evenly formed into flowers, and the buds are upright and lifelike.
In terms of quality alone, it is definitely no weaker than other tribute teas.
As a Confucian student, Zhu Yunwen was no stranger to the tea ceremony. Just tasting tea made him feel at peace.
Since the eldest brother gave him such good tea, which he had never tasted before, he naturally truly recognized his second brother.
At the same time, I felt relieved.
Some things can move people just through a small detail.
Zhu Ying has always paid great attention to details.
"Thank you for the good tea, brother. This is my first time drinking this kind of tea. I don't know the name of this tea and where it comes from."
After taking a few sips, Zhu Yunwen finally found the topic. He was still not used to the straightforward approach.
Zhu Ying smiled and said, "West Lake Longjing tea is produced in Hangzhou, but the output of this rare product is not large. Since my second brother likes it, I will bring two kilograms back to taste it later."
At present, the best tea trees on the West Lake Longjing side have been taken over by Zhu Ying, and belong to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and are not sold to the outside world.
"Thank you, brother."
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was not polite at all. He stood up and bowed slightly.
Zhu Ying waved her hand gently, and after thinking about it for a while, she roughly guessed Zhu Yunwen's possible purpose of coming, and then said first:
"I heard from the palace people that my second brother often goes out to play in the palace recently. If there are any interesting things happening in the capital, I would like to share them with my brother."
Zhu Yunwen was happy when he heard this. He was still worried about how to speak, but he didn't expect that his elder brother would get the idea right now.
So he quickly replied: "Replying to my eldest brother, I have been leaving the palace these days with Pirma Heima, the grandson of Samarkand."
"Pilma Heima's grandfather was the ruler of Samarkand, Tamerlane."
"My brother was very curious about some things outside the Ming Dynasty, so he made friends with him and became relatively familiar with him."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Brother Pierma Heima knows this. This time he came to the Ming Dynasty with the envoy, and he also reported it to Tianjie Temple."
"As for Samarkand, my second brother still needs to be a little more careful in communication. Samarkand is currently attacking the Golden Horde with great momentum. The Golden Horde is currently in retreat."
"In the past, there was a buffer on the grassland. Our Ming Dynasty and Samarkand were far apart, and there was not much conflict between them. If the Golden Horde was destroyed, its territory would be connected to our Ming Dynasty."
"Although Timur of Samarkand bows to the Ming Dynasty, looking at his conquests everywhere, you can understand that he is ambitious, but he just wants to stabilize the Ming Dynasty first."
"Be prepared for a rainy day. Second brother still needs to be more cautious. If there are some things you shouldn't say, just don't say them."
Zhu Yun obviously didn't understand these things. Whether it was the Golden Horde or Samarkand, it was a very distant vocabulary for Zhu Yunwen who grew up in a deep palace.
After hearing the elder brother's explanation, I understood the stakes.
"I understand, brother. Thank you for your teaching, otherwise I would have revealed important information about our Ming Dynasty unknowingly, and indirectly become his detailed plan for Samarkand."
Zhu Yunwen said with some fear. After thinking about it, Zhu Yunwen felt relieved.
Although I talked a lot with Pierma Heima during this period, most of them were about entertainment and entertainment, and they didn't talk about military and national affairs.
But after the eldest brother said this, Zhu Yunwen didn't know how to say anything about what he had promised Brother Ma Hei before.
He often wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Ying smiled and said directly: "I have already said it as a brother. We are all brothers. There are some things that don't need to be kept secret. If you have something to say, just say it. It's no big deal. "
With the encouragement of his eldest brother, Zhu Yunwen finally said bravely: "Brother, isn't it the first day of October? On the day when the eldest brother is canonized by the grandson, there will be a grand military parade."
"This grand event is so grand that I even invited people from the capital and envoys from various countries to watch the ceremony."
"Pierma Heima knew my brother's identity, so I wanted to ask my brother for help in finding a good place for him at the grand military parade."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying said: "What do you do for your brother? For such a small matter, my second brother will tell him directly and he will definitely arrange a good place for him to watch the ceremony. There is no need to worry."
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he immediately relaxed.
He stood up and bowed: "Thank you, brother."
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen began to feel a little closer to Zhu Ying.
Young people have a lot of face.
If he couldn't do what he promised to Ma Heima before, Zhu Yunwen would feel that he had lost face.
Now that the eldest brother has directly agreed, his face can be saved.
After coming out of Kunning Palace, Zhu Yunwen was obviously in a very happy mood. When he returned to Chunhe Palace, he even had an extra bowl of rice for dinner.
When Mrs. Lu saw this, she couldn't help but ask: "What's going on that makes Yunwen so happy? Tell me and make my mother happy too."
When Zhu Yunwen heard his mother's inquiry, he smiled and told the whole story of his visit to his eldest brother.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu nodded slightly and said, "Your eldest brother is right. Samarkand's wolfish ambitions are obvious at a glance. When you are talking to Pilma Heima, remember your eldest brother's explanation."
"For now, your eldest brother not only has no prejudice against you, but is also extremely friendly. This is good news."
Lu continued with a smile: "Thankfully I didn't take any action at the beginning. I made the right move by going against your eldest brother. Now it seems that if your eldest brother wants to target you, there is really no room for resistance."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was also frightened.
Zhu Yunwen actually wanted to make some small moves behind his back at the beginning, but he was timid and with Grandpa Huang guarding him, he didn't dare to make a decision.
Then I put it off again and again, and finally gave up until now.
Now it seems that giving up fighting against the eldest brother is really a wise choice.
The eldest brother has initially controlled more than 70% of the troops in the capital, and the support in the army is also very strong. The most important thing is that the emperor cares more and more about his eldest brother.
In the morning, there were already many important government affairs, but the emperor didn't say anything and just let his eldest brother handle them.
