The capital, Zhongcui Palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at his son in the cradle, half-clasping his little hands, sleeping peacefully.
Concubine Ning walked over, fearing to wake the child, and said softly: "Wenyuan, please go to bed here, and the emperor will be here soon."
Zhu Yunwen reached out and touched Zhu Wenyuan's face gently, with a smile on his face: "It's good to fall asleep. I heard that he can do anything."
Zhu Wenyuan was named by Zhu Yunzhen himself.
Yuan, taken from "Shang Shu·Zhou Shu·Zicai".
The original text is:
The king imitates the king of the country and goes beyond the imperial affairs, and he gives orders according to his orders?
"Introduce and support Yintian." 』
Since ancient times, Wang Ruozi has always been in charge of prison.
But he said: If you inspect the fields, how can you apply them diligently? But its Chen Xiu is the end of Juejiang. If you are a housekeeper, you will be diligent in building walls, but you will only be able to paint them.
Translated it is:
The king teaches the princes and officials of the princely states, what is the purpose of his edict?
It means 'to support the people forever and to stabilize the people'.
Since ancient times, kings have been supervising like this, without any deviation!
I thought: Just like farming, after you have worked hard to cultivate and sow seeds, you should consider cultivating the land, building field boundaries, and digging ditches. Just like building a house, once you have diligently built the walls, you should consider finishing the work of plastering and building the house.
Yuan means wall, which is extended to the city wall, which means protection. The word Yuan was chosen because he hoped that Zhu Wenyuan would become a person who protects the Ming Dynasty.
In Zhu Yunwen's view, Zhu Wenyuan is better than Zhu Wengui (the name of Emperor Jianwen's second son in history). What is Gui, a beautiful jade? It seems like adding dirt on top of dirt, living with the word "Gui", that is, in this era, it is a good word to say that people are turtles and bastards. Try it a few hundred years later...
Although children cannot live that long, history books can. If future generations of children point to history books and ask, why is this son called "Gui", and is the father a careless person...
Concubine Ning was a little tired and glanced at the little guy: "No, I don't know where he gets the strength. He makes a fuss when he wakes up. He doesn't know how to sleep when he's not tired."
Zhu Yunwen pushed the cradle gently: "It's good to have strength."
Concubine Ning smiled and said nothing.
Zhu Yunwen took Concubine Ning's hand and said, "Let them look at Wenyuan. You can walk with me."
Concubine Ning blushed slightly and stayed with Zhu Yunwen.
It has just entered October and it is winter.
Nanjing is still somewhat cool in autumn, but not really cold.
In the pavilion by the pool, Zhu Yunwen looked south with his hands behind his back, and said to Concubine Ning: "Today, the Ming Dynasty will launch a comprehensive counterattack against Annan."
After hearing this, Concubine Ning restrained her smile and said seriously: "I believe that the Ming army will fight bravely to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty."
There was worry in Zhu Yunwen's eyes: "I'm not worried about Zhang Fu and the army, I'm worried about time."
Zhu Yunwen was sure of capturing Annan.
The biggest variable is time. Whether Zhang Fu can capture the entire territory of Annan within five months is the most critical.
If the period exceeds five months, the rainy season will come, mosquitoes will breed, and the sergeants will not be able to adapt to the climate, and malaria will become rampant, and they will not be able to fight it even if they want to. Once the successors are unable to succeed, Hu Jishen or his remaining forces, and the anti-Ming forces continue to fight back, and they will repeat the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty.
time!
Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists, hoping that this winter would be longer.
Concubine Ning gently pulled Zhu Yunwen's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Does this still need to be the case between us?"
Zhu Yunwen looked deeply at Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning gently brushed her hand against her ear and said, "I have the courage to speak out. Last year, the emperor said that he would appoint Wen Kui as the crown prince this year and go out to study. It is already October, why is there no news?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Concubine Ning and said nothing.
Concubine Ning said worriedly: "The Queen dare not ask these questions and cannot ask them, but I have no such worries. If it continues to be delayed, the Queen Mother will not be at ease, the Queen will not be at ease, and I will be even more uneasy."
Zhu Yunwen asked calmly: "What makes you uneasy?"
Concubine Ning sighed deeply: "Your Majesty did not ask this question knowingly. I have never thought about anything else. I just want Wen Yuan to grow up in peace."
Peaceful?
Zhu Yunwen looked at Concubine Ning, wondering if he thought Ma Enhui was too bad.
But having said that, there are still cases where the queen kills other children if she has no children, and if she has children, she kills other children. If the four words "mother is more valuable than child" are reversed, it will be two words: cold palace.
However, Zhu Yunwen believed that Ma Enhui was not that kind of woman, and he still knew her temperament.
"Just because you have so many thoughts, the queen doesn't dare to come here. You'd better apologize to the queen, lest I say anything about you."
Zhu Yunwen laughed.
Concubine Ning was puzzled. Just when she was about to speak, she felt someone coming from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Queen Ma Enhui. Her face turned pale and she saluted quickly.
Ma Enhui snorted and asked: "Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning, am I the kind of jealous woman?"
Concubine Ning lowered her head to defend, but she looked a little pale.
Ma Enhui was dissatisfied and said to Zhu Yunwen: "I don't dare to go to Zhongcui Palace, lest anyone worry about the safety of the child..."
Concubine Ning wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
Ma Enhui mocked Concubine Ning, and Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Okay, get up."
Concubine Ning glanced at Zhu Yunwen, stood up and apologized to Ma Enhui: "I was just confused and had random thoughts..."
Ma Enhui rolled her eyes: "There were disasters in two places this summer, and the army was on the way in autumn. Annan is still undecided. It is reasonable for the emperor to delay the canonization of the prince. Why, do you really think that the emperor has moved to abolish Changli?" Don't you think I could be more ruthless and cruel and sink Wenyuan?"
Concubine Ning looked pale and a little helpless.
Zhu Yunwen finally understood the sentence: One pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. This sentence is probably not a joke. Concubine Ning has had a lot of thoughts since she gave birth, and they are all mindless thoughts. It will probably take three years of good food to make up for it...
"Okay, the queen doesn't blame you. It was the queen's idea to postpone the canonization of the crown prince. I didn't expect you to think so much. I am here to be a peacemaker today, and this matter is over."
Zhu Yunwen took the hands of Concubine Ning and Ma Enhui and stacked them together.
Concubine Ning knew that she had wrongly blamed Ma Enhui and sincerely apologized.
Ma Enhui patted Concubine Ning's hand, taking it as punishment, and then said: "I have someone put a longevity lock on me. Let's go to Zhongcui Palace to see the child."
Zhu Yunwen watched Ma Enhui and Concubine Ning leave, and then he smiled reassuringly.
There have always been voices in the court asking for the early appointment of a prince, especially after Zhu Wenyuan, there were more voices, and even the Minister of Rites also participated.
It is beneficial to appoint a prince as early as possible to show that there is a successor to the court and that the imperial line can be passed down from generation to generation. This is very important for stabilizing the court and the people. By establishing the crown prince early, it also saves other concubines, eunuchs, etc. in the harem from developing ambitions, and reduces many fights. The most important thing is that it will be good for the future of the empire. Once the crown prince is established, he can go out to study, cultivate moral character, learn etiquette, music, literature and history, and strategies for governing the country.
On New Year's Day, let's enthrone the prince.
Zhu Yunwen made up his mind and looked up at the setting sun.
The afterglow is scattered on Ailiu Pass.
Zhang Fu ascended the Ailiuguan Pass and spoke highly of Yuan Yue's command and operations.
Because the time from the attack to the occupation of Ailiuguan by the Ming army was too short, most of the Annan defenders who stayed at Ailiuguan did not have time to withdraw. Five hundred and thirty-two people were killed and as many as 11,000 were captured. The rest fled to Jiling Pass, and even the general Li Wei was captured.
Zhang Fu looked at the bound Li Weidu and said: "Li Weidu, I have heard that you are called the Iron Man. Now it seems that you are not worthy of your name."
Li Weidu looked a little pale: "If I hadn't been careless, there would have been no chance for you to climb the city wall!"
Zhang Fu laughed.
What Li Weidu said was not completely wrong. If he had solved the Tiger Crouching Cannon right away, then if the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wanted to capture Ailiuguan, they would either have to use the divine machine cannon, or they would have to fight head-on.
"Since you have surrendered, put away your pride. Tell me, how many defenders are there at Jiling Pass?"
Zhang Fu asked.
Li Weidu puffed out his chest and shouted: "I was defeated and surrendered, not betrayed Dayu! If you want to know about Annan's defense from my mouth, don't even think about it!"
Canglang!
Han Guan's sword was unsheathed and he said: "A hero like you can only live up to your position by dying. I will help you!"
With a buzzing sound, the edge has arrived!
Li Weidu immediately shouted: "No, don't kill me, I said, I said!"
Han Guan looked at Li Weidu speechlessly, isn't this a bit too bastard? Where was the backbone just now?
Li Weidu was also depressed. Didn't the storyteller say that the Ming Dynasty admired people with integrity and would give a way out to even enemies? How is this different from the story told by a storyteller? After making an impassioned speech and feeling upright, he was not let go but beheaded...
"The garrison at Jiling Pass is also 20,000, but including the garrison at Ailiu Pass, it should be nearly 30,000. The garrison is Fan Cheng, a veteran general who is good at defending the city. There are sixteen divine machine cannons there..."
Li Weidu spoke out without reservation.
Zhang Fu nodded repeatedly, indicating to find someone to check the intelligence, and then convened a military meeting.
"Jiling Pass is the last major pass in the first line of defense deployed by the Annan Hu family and his son, and it is also the core of Liangjiang. As long as Jiling Pass is opened, the entire Liangjiang River will fall into our hands. More importantly, , after leaving Jiling Pass, there are rivers and plains! Only then can the advantage of our military strength be reflected. We don’t have much time, let’s talk, who will take Jiling Pass?”
Zhang Fu asked seriously.
"The general will go where he wishes!"
Han Guan, Cheng Kuan, Yang Song, Yuan Yue and other generals requested orders one after another.
After Zhang Fu inspected it, his eyes fell on Cheng Kuan. This man was also a soldier in the Hongwu period. He was quite brave and said: "Then let Cheng Kuan fight."
Cheng Kuan chuckled and went to prepare after receiving the order.
Zhang Fu stood at the gate of the city and looked at the mountain road in the distance, where a group of four sergeants came pushing a heavy cart. On top of the cart was the Ming Dynasty's divine machine cannon! The queue was long but very orderly, with sergeants passing by from time to time.
Yang Rong held a map of Annan, gesticulating with his hands from time to time, as if he was calculating something, and finally marked the map with a brush. Yang Pu looked at the mark on the map, which read "10-25", and couldn't help but wonder. : "What does this mean?"
Yang Rong smiled slightly and pointed to Duobang City on the side: "On October 25th, we will capture Duobang City."
Yang Pu looked at the confident Yang Rong and reminded: "Don't be complacent and underestimate Annan just because you easily captured Ailiuguan. Duobang City is not that easy to capture."
Yang Rong shook his head and said seriously: "I didn't look at Di Annan and gave them fifteen days to defend the city."
"On the 15th?"
Yang Pu raised his hand and felt dizzy.
A tyrannical military fortress in the true sense of the word. Do you want to knock it down on the 15th?
What a joke.
Yang Rong was not joking. The limited time determined that the Ming army could not be held back by one city for too long. Half a month had already given Duo Bang a lot of face. What the Ming Dynasty wanted was the whole territory of Annan, not a single city.
Yang Pu did not discuss this matter much. Yang Rong was a person in the Fang Division, and it was his job to plan and make battle plans. Instead, he said: "I am wondering whether the army should stop after the Jiling Pass is captured. .”
