The night is already dark.
The Ministry of War was still brightly lit.
The various guard camps near Yingtian Mansion are also preparing nervously.
Zhu Yunxuan left the palace and returned to the East Palace when it was almost midnight.
"Your second brother went out today."
Xu Miaojin reported to him: "The eunuchs and maids tried to stop him, but your mother came forward and had to let him go."
The maids around Zhu Yunwen were all arranged by her.
The eunuch was recommended by Jiang Yu and was under her control.
Xu Miaojin was naturally aware of Zhu Yunwen's movements.
"My people followed him quietly and saw him heading to the dock and meeting some people, who seemed to be from other places."
"They left by boat after meeting your second brother. Judging from their whereabouts, behavior, and tone of voice, I somewhat suspect that they are Japanese pirates."
"However, it's too far away to hear their voices clearly, so we can't draw a conclusion."
Zhu Yunwen colluded with Japanese pirates?
Zhu Yunzhen's pupils suddenly dilated!
"I know!" He thought for a moment and said, "Strengthen the monitoring of him. In addition to the people on the surface, arrange some people to watch in secret."
"If Gu wants to lead troops to Jiaxing Mansion, he will definitely not be honest." Zhu Yunzhen said: "I leave the affairs in Jinling City to you."
"Don't act rashly and let him jump out."
Xu Miaojin understood instantly.
After all, Zhu Yunwen is Lao Zhu's biological grandson, Zhu Yunwen's biological brother, and His Majesty's personally named Prince Heng.
If I don't take the initiative to jump out and get the relevant evidence, I really can't do anything to him.
Now sending people to monitor him is the limit of what can be done.
"Okay!" Xu Miaojin nodded, a little worried, with an indescribable melancholy in his eyes, and said: "The outside is like Jinling City, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, so be careful."
"Don't worry!" Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly, looking very relaxed.
Xu Miaojin took out a slightly yellowed book from her arms.
"Didn't you say you wanted to practice martial arts? It's not really of much use, but it's good for strengthening your body."
She said: "This is the qi and health method given to my father by Master Zhang of Wudang. It is this method that I have been practicing since I was a child. If you want to practice, just practice according to the method."
"This technique focuses on maintaining health and cultivating Qi. It is not used for martial arts competitions."
"You may not be able to beat others if you practice, but it can make your inner breath long, your body strong, and external evils invulnerable."
Zhang Sanfeng’s health regimen?
Zhu Yunzhen was slightly startled.
The name of Wudang Master Zhang is very resounding.
Whether in later generations or in this era, many people regard him as a god-like figure.
It is said that he has now left Wudang Mountain and his whereabouts are unknown.
Some say he is still alive, others say he has died long ago.
There is no false person under the great reputation.
Since it is Zhang Sanfeng's legacy of health-preserving and qi-training techniques, it must have something extraordinary about it.
What's more, Xu Miaojin has also practiced.
After being injured, her vitality was tenacious and her recovery speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.
This shows that this skill is truly extraordinary.
Zhu Yunzhen said thank you and took it.
At this moment, there were bursts of rapid footsteps outside.
Xu Miaojin opened the door and saw Mrs. Lu walking towards this side, followed by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs.
"mother!"
Zhu Yunxu rushed forward to greet him.
Just after he crossed over, Cheap Daddy died.
Lu was actually very good to him.
But Zhu Yunxuan always felt a sense of isolation.
Still unable to fully integrate.
Lu held him in her arms and said, "Mom, I heard that you are going to lead the troops to Jiaxing Mansion in person?"
Zhu Yunxuan raised his little head, nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, the child is now the crown prince. If you want to establish prestige among your subjects, leading troops to go on an expedition is the fastest way."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, tears rolled down her face.
"My poor child, you are only seven years old and you are going to the front line. How can your mother be willing to do so?"
She hugged him tightly, twitching and crying, very reluctant to let go.
Then, he asked a lot of questions, and Zhu Yunzhen answered them one by one.
"You are the crown prince, and state affairs are the most important thing. If you want to go to Jiaxing Mansion, my mother can't stop you. But you must promise your mother, and you must pay attention to protecting yourself. You must not go to the front line. The war is in chaos, and the swords and guns are blind. In case you There are three advantages and two disadvantages, and my mother doesn’t have to live anymore.”
Zhu Yunzhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, the child will come back safely."
Lu hugged him and said nothing.
After a long time, Mrs. Lu said: "What happened to your second brother is that he was wrong and shouldn't have treated you like that. But after all, you are biological brothers. You both came out of your mother's belly. The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh!"
"You are the crown prince now. Promise mother, stop hating him and give him a way to survive, okay?"
Zhu Yunzhen sighed in his heart.
As a mother, it is normal for Lu to have such thoughts.
What mother is willing to watch her sons fight to the death?
However, this is not a question of whether he is willing or not, but depends on Zhu Yunwen's own choice.
If Zhu Yunwen would no longer be his enemy, Zhu Yunwen would not mind letting him be a free prince for the rest of his life.
But if the other party must have trouble with him, what can he do?
"As long as the second brother doesn't hate me, I will never embarrass him." Zhu Yunxu said categorically.
"Your second brother has already knelt in front of mother and swore to admit his mistake." Lu said: "If he dares to poison you again in the future, mother will not recognize him as her son."
After he was released by you, he has been plotting secretly.
Zhu Yunzhen said silently in his heart.
But nothing was said.
Brothers killing each other is too cruel for a mother.
It's better not to tell her.
…
Early the next morning.
At the Jinling Military Academy, Zhu Yunxu stood on the high platform.
Below are five hundred students, all of whom are wearing camouflage military uniforms designed by him, carrying guns, and not wearing armor. They have a completely different look from the military of this era.
"Raise troops for a thousand days, use them for a while. The Japanese pirates invaded the Ming Dynasty, occupied Songjiang Mansion, and massacred innocent people. Now is the time for you to make a contribution."
Zhu Yunxuan didn't plan to say too much. Jinling Military Academy was established by him.
Not only did military training completely follow the methods of later generations, but even the education model was completely new.
As the headmaster of the school, these people are both his soldiers and students, so they naturally have an unusual relationship.
Coupled with the continuous "brainwashing" education after entering school, Zhu Yunzhen had no doubt about the loyalty of these people.
"lets go!"
He waved his hand, and the 500 new troops marched out of the military camp in an orderly manner.
Outside, the people of Jinling City came out to watch.
The imperial court has announced the news of the invasion of Songjiang Mansion by Japanese pirates.
It was also announced that Duke Lan Yu of Liang Kingdom was ordered to be the vanguard and went to Suzhou to meet the enemy. The emperor's grandson personally went out to quell the Japanese pirates' rebellion.
The floating heart quickly settles down.
In the eyes of the common people, Zhu Yunxuan has long been regarded as the incarnation of a god, and he is the destiny of destiny.
He led the army to conquer personally, so why worry about not being able to pacify the Japanese pirates?
"I heard that the Jinling Military Academy is a special force trained by His Majesty the Grand Sun himself. It is extremely mysterious. Today, the veil has been unveiled."
"Haha, I heard that the new army was about to move out, so I came to see them off. Although this army is small in number, they are all elites who came from thousands of miles away. They must be extremely majestic."
"That's not true. When the Jinling Military Academy was recruiting students, several brothers and I signed up, but none of us were selected. How shameful! I have always wanted to see what kind of person can join the new army? "
"Does that need to be said? The imperial court has spent so much money and given such good treatment. One must be worth ten, or even worth a hundred elite soldiers."
"The new army is dispatched, the grandson personally fights, and the Japanese pirates are wiped out!"
…
The people were talking a lot, and most of them were directed at the new army.
Amid everyone's attention, the door of Jinling Military Academy opened, and the students walked out in a row, carrying their guns and marching in uniform steps.
I was very tired during this period. I overslept today and slept until noon.
But I feel that my mind has become much clearer, and I am no longer groggy all day long.
Updates may be accelerated in the future.
