Time is really the fairest thing. It will not speed up because children pray to grow up quickly, nor will it slow down because old people pray to grow old slowly.
Classmate Xiao Zhu stayed like this for who knows how long, two months and three months? Or four months?
I don’t know, I live in this small space every day. Except for being taken out to look around during the Spring Festival, I have never been out again. There is nothing to kill time.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very busy, and Ma had a lot of work every day. Only Ruyi and the nanny were watching over him every step of the way.
The only interesting thing is to listen to the gossip in the back house. After all, as his power expands, Comrade Lao Zhu has more and more women.
But in fact, it is meaningless to listen to it for a long time. After all, Ma's status is too transcendent, so transcendent that no one dares to get close to him, let alone his opponents.
During the Chinese New Year, there were two new girls. After all, they were newcomers and they were quite favored. However, just because they criticized Ma and said a few words to Ma, those two poor scumbags were dismissed before Ma could say anything. The furious Lao Zhu ordered him to be killed with a stick!
Even their father and brother were reprimanded, and within a few days they went to the front line and never came back...
The backyard was nothing more than those worthless people taunting each other, but in the end no one dared to do any dirty tricks.
As for the pregnant Li family, Ma family was taking care of her and no one dared to touch her. She was well raised. After all, she would have to face the wrath of Ma family and Zhu Yuanzhang directly. Once she was discovered, the whole family would be killed.
In March of the 16th year of Zhengzheng, Zhang Shicheng launched an offensive in the Yangtze River Delta to attack the Yuan army in the south of the Yangtze River.
Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the land and sea army to attack Jiqing for the third time. On the third day, Chen Zhaoxian's military camp outside the city was breached, and 36,000 of his troops surrendered.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the surrendered army was suspicious and uncertain. So Zhu Yuanzhang selected 500 warriors from the surrendered army as his own soldiers to guard at night, while only one personal soldier, Feng Guoyong, was left beside him.
The next day, when Jiangjun learned about this, he was very moved. All doubts were eliminated and he was willing to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.
As a result, the war went very smoothly, and in less than ten days, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing. After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the city, he ordered to appease the people and renamed Jiqing Yingtianfu.
After Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er received the report, he was promoted to Zhu Yuanzhang as a peer of the Privy Council, and soon he was promoted to Pingzhang of Jiangnan and other places.
Zhu Yuanzhang built the Kangyi Grand Marshal's Mansion in Yingtian, with Liao Yong'an as the commander-in-chief and Li Shanchang as the left and right doctor.
Chang Yuchun and Zhang Yuan were ordered to lead ten thousand elites to escort Lao Zhu's family into Yingtian Mansion!
Comrade Xiao Zhu didn't sleep this time, but he still didn't see his future father-in-law, Chang Yuchun, who was wrapped tightly and sent to the carriage in the center.
The days in Yingtian Mansion are actually no different from those in Hezhou Taiping, they are all in the same house.
About two months later, Zhu Yuanzhang strode in happily. Xiao Zhu was holding Ma's hand and walking crookedly, calling her mother from time to time.
"Haha! My mark is so sure! He is indeed our son! Much better than Xu Datang and theirs!"
"Go, why don't you compare yourself with the eldest son? The two younger ones can't even crawl!"
Classmate Xiao Zhu walked over and lay on Lao Zhu's lap, raising his head and calling him daddy.
Comrade Lao Zhu's calling him dad this year has not been in vain. Xiao Zhu said it most clearly that he is dad.
Seeing Lao Zhu pick up his son and prick his face with stubble, Ma smiled and asked, "What's the matter? It makes my husband so happy! We, my mother-in-law, haven't seen your smiling face in almost a month!"
Lao Zhu waved his hand and everyone standing aside retreated, and then he said, "Hey, haven't you been busy with a lot of things recently? Sister, let me tell you good news. We have already started preparing for the Grand Ceremony!"
"In a few days you will be the Duke's wife, hahahaha, are you happy?"
Ma also smiled but thought of something else, "I'm happy, but why is it so sudden? Is your husband, the Duke of the Kingdom, granted the title of Prince Ming?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Han Lin'er is just a king. How dare you grant us a title? I established it myself."
"And the people below can't wait any longer. They haven't moved their positions for a long time."
Ma advised, "Chongba, the people below are anxious to be promoted, so you can't be anxious. You are still nominally a subordinate of Prince Ming. To declare yourself fair without any reason is to break up with Han Lin'er directly. You have to think carefully!"
Classmate Zhu Biao listened quietly while holding Lao Zhu's neck. It was his turn to interrupt in these matters.
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out a hand to hold his wife's hand, "Don't worry, we have carefully considered it with Li Shanchang and the others. The advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, and being a marshal is different from being a prince, so we will officially From a warrior to a leader!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Ma saw that her husband had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading him. He raised a smile on his face and said to the door, "Ruyi, go and tell the kitchen to cook more dishes that the commander is willing to eat, and get two jars of good wine." !”
"Hey, my sister still loves me. Let's have a few drinks with us today. This is a big happy event for our family!"
"By the way, on the day we become Duke, we will directly make Biao'er the Crown Prince, so that all three of our family will be promoted!"
Ma walked over and pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down, stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders, "Forget it, Biao'er is still young. Such a big blessing is not a good thing for a child. Just wait a few more years!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and it was right. Let's talk about a prince, the prince, we must at least earn a throne for our son!
A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang's civil and military ministers jointly wrote a letter to "persuad him to advance" and advised him to become king and hegemon. After Zhu Yuanzhang showed some humility, Comrade Lao Zhu in 1356 AD, when his son Xiao Zhu's classmate Zhu Biao was less than one year old, he When he was not yet 29 years old, he established himself as "Wu Guogong" in today's Nanjing!
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged Li Shanchang and other literati in place. Since the arrangements at that time were mainly wartime, this civilian government was also set up around wartime military affairs. The left and right counselors are Li Shanchang and Li Siyan, and the other attendants are all military staff officers or doctors of literature. Together they formed Zhu Yuanzhang's think tank.
In the army, Zhu Yuanzhang set up five army marshal's mansions at the front, rear, left, right and center. Each army marshal's mansion was equipped with a vanguard officer. After these marshals and vanguards siege the city and plunder the territory, those who are entrusted to the local garrison officials will still be the marshals or vanguards of the Five Armies.
The Left and Right Soldiers and Horses Division was also established, responsible for monitoring civil servants and generals, and also sent spies to various parts of the country to explore information and draw maps in order to successfully sweep the world in the future. The Left and Right Soldiers and Horses Division was the prototype organization of the Jinyi Guard in the future.
