"Why doesn't the fourth child want to marry?" Zhu Ming looked puzzled and seemed to want to persuade him. But he was caught by Zhu Fan.
"Don't say anything, let me persuade you."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Su. With his intelligence, he had already realized that the eldest brother, fourth and fifth brothers had secrets that were not easy to tell him and Zhu Fangming.
This secret may have something to do with the new learning and science, as well as the changes in my father over the years.
That is to say, the second brother has nothing to worry about and has not found out yet.
They didn't dare to say that they must have received strict orders from their father. In this case, it’s not good to push too hard.
Just check it out yourself.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fan's eyes showed a look of interest.
Zhu Di was silent for a while and then said: "Brother, I want to return to Shuntian to lead the army and guard the grassland for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "He Lin has come down, the imperial court has already formulated a strategy to manage the grassland, and Wei Gong is still there to guard the grassland. Nothing will happen in northern Xinjiang, what are you going to do back in Shuntian?"
"Don't change the subject. If you don't get married, how can your father, the Queen, and your mother rest assured..."
"Northern Xinjiang is not without incident." Zhu Di looked serious and had firm eyes. "You should be aware of danger when you are in peace. Brother, I have seen Naye Sudie'er before, and I know that Wala is not an easy opponent. Now they are just busy purging the grassland forces, and they are not able to invade the Ming Dynasty for the time being. But if we let them go Ziliu, who knows if Oala will become the next great Mongolia?"
"Besides, brother, you also know that this Wala will be my brother's personal thorn in the future. If I can't destroy Wala, how can I marry a wife with peace of mind?"
Zhu Biao hesitated, but Zhu Fan frowned. Listening to what Lao Si said, Wala is immortal and has a connection with him marrying a wife and having children?
"Moreover, don't look at the situation in our Ming Dynasty. However, there are also undercurrents surging on the grassland. The day before yesterday, when my second brother and I were sitting for a drink, I learned that the Yili Khanate in the west was close to falling apart. It is even more terrible. The scary thing is that this khanate was threatened by another barbarian force, which is why it is in such a mess."
Speaking of state affairs, Zhu Biao suddenly became serious and turned to look at Zhu Chong. Zhu Xi quickly tied up his trousers, nodded and said, "Brother, it's true."
"The Yilibali Khanate, originally the Chagatai Khanate, one of the four great khanates of Mongolia, has suffered repeated defeats in recent years and has been in decline. My brothers have discovered that there is another force in the west of the Ming Dynasty. They are swallowing up Mongolia and are taking the opportunity to swallow up the property that Yuanting left in the Western Regions. They want to work with me, the Ming Dynasty, to equally divide the former Mongolian world."
"In a few days, we may be hit by the Ming Dynasty."
"How did your people find out?" Zhu Biao asked curiously. The Western Region has been cut off for several generations, and its land is almost no longer Han territory. Even Jin Yiwei didn't get the news. How did Zhu Xi know about it?
"That's it, brother, after I arrive in Xi'an..." Zhu Ping recounted what he did in Xi'an.
It turned out that in the past, he and the three brothers Zhu Feng and Zhu Di asked for orders to defend the country's borders. Zhu Di guarded Beiping and followed Xu Da in pursuit of the north; Zhu Fan guarded Taiyuan and continued to study science while refining a steady stream of steel and ordnance for the Ming Dynasty. .
But he, Zhu Xi, had no merits. He was not as good as his third brother Zhu Fan in terms of talent and learning, and he was not as good as Zhu Di and Xu Da in military matters. Not much fighting.
Zhu Feng was bored, but he didn't want to be idle and fall behind his two younger brothers. After thinking about it, he remembered the interesting things his fifth brother Zhu Su said to him in the past.
Zhu Xiang was fascinated by the chivalrous sects in those story books. Moreover, the people's livelihood in Xi'an has not been restored, the folk customs are strong, and there are many idle young people doing nothing. So Zhu Fang simply organized them, established a "Qin Gang", and became addicted to being a gang leader.
These people are supported by Zhu Cang, and they are all full of energy. They are not engaged in production and just wander around every day. And everyone is holding back their energy to do something great for the country.
"Brother, I don't know, but these brothers under me have many strange people. It was these brothers under me who found out the news about the Timur Khanate for me!" Zhu Xi was not ashamed, but proud.
"How could a mere ranger be willing to be driven by you and go to the far west to get information for you?" Zhu Biao didn't believe it.
"Brother, what are you talking about!" Zhu Xi seemed to feel underestimated and hurriedly patted his chest. "The so-called great chivalrous people serve the country and the people. Our Qin Gang brothers are the most particular about loyalty! In addition, my younger brother, Zhu Laoer, has the reputation of 'conquering people with virtue'. Who doesn't admire those chivalrous people in the world? "
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows. Instead of being a good prince, he was hanging out with these idle knights. On the other hand, Zhu Su looked at Zhu Xi with eyes as high as a mountain: I can't tell that the second brother is actually a talent! They actually established a gang in Xi'an and wanted to dominate the world!
However, Zhu Su still believed in the authenticity of the news that Zhu Xi found. There are already many heroes in the wilderness. In addition, Zhu Xi has won the hearts of the people with his story books such as "Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". After listening to those martial arts, what man would not want to become a fierce warrior like Guo Jing and Xiao Feng?
In order to become a hero, it is not impossible to travel thousands of miles to inquire about enemy countries.
Seeing Zhu Biao's questioning eyes, Zhu Su nodded and said: "The news from the second brother's men should be true. The country that is gathering the remaining power of Mongolia in the west is probably the Timur Empire. Let's talk about it. , it has been over a hundred years since the rise of Genghis Khan, and the Golden Family is no longer as brave as its ancestors. On the contrary, the Timurid Empire is now as prestigious as a man in his prime. He is indeed a strong enemy of my Ming Dynasty."
Historically, the Timurid Empire did once intend to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but gave up because its leader Timur died midway. But nowadays, major events in history are often reversed, and Zhu Su did not dare to pin the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty on such an accident as Timur's death on the way.
"If this is true, our Ming Dynasty will not tolerate it." Zhu Biao said. The Ming Dynasty was destined to inherit the fortune of the Yuan Dynasty. Even the founding document stated that it would inherit the fortune of the Yuan Dynasty. Now that the Yuan Dynasty has died, legally speaking, all the land formerly owned by the Yuan Dynasty is the land that the Ming Dynasty should own.
The four great khanates of the Yuan Dynasty all used to have the Northern Yuan Emperor as their co-lord. In this way, the land of the Four Khanates should also be the land inherited by the Ming Dynasty from the Yuan Dynasty.
Today's Ming Dynasty has abandoned the policy of seclusion and established a national policy of pioneering and enterprising. Now the Ming Dynasty has just overthrown the Yuan Dynasty and taken over the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty.
Everyone in the court was gearing up, ready to show off their skills. But he heard that a thief took advantage of the quarrel between him and Yuan Dynasty to steal chickens in the back yard he inherited. Is this a big deal?
