The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1185

[1185. Chapter 1130 The clever grandson of the emperor]

of the emperor refused to obey the imperial edict?

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

Although it was an edict, no strong measures were taken in the edict.

But no ordinary clan would dare to resist.

Judging from the signs of Mr. Dai Wang and some clues provided by the factory guard.

It’s really very possible that it’s him.

And his grandson…

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: “Tell the prince and Fang Jifan to let them run, run. If something happens to my grandson, if they have the ability, they will run to the ends of the world and never come back.”

Emperor Hongzhi was furious.

God, what a sin this has been.

Do you want your family to be destroyed?

A white-haired person gives a black-haired person a gift?

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, calm down.”

“Shut up!” Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: “What are you still doing here?”

Xiao Jing hurriedly knelt down: “Your Majesty… slave girl… slave girl will not stay here… “

Get out!” Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: “You are the owner of the Dongchang Factory. Why don’t you go to Xiaowutai Mountain in person immediately…”

“Xiao… Xiaowutai Mountain…” Xiao Jing shuddered… Go in person…

” Servant…servant…” Xiao Jing cried.

It can be seen that His Majesty was very angry. How could he dare to be negligent? He immediately said: “Slave… I obey the order!”

…

The remaining veins of Xiaowutai Mountain were already in sight.

A group of teenagers, all with eyes shining.

The mighty Zhengde guards and warriors, with bright flags and armor, came out of the capital. They were all on horseback, armed with bows, arrows and swords, and they were all in high spirits.

The training in the past two months almost never stopped from morning to night.

The training standards set by Fang Jifan were very harsh. From running in the morning to lining up, to riding and shooting, there was almost no room for them.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Zaimo and others are always watching.

Now, these people and horses have some appearance.

Providing enough nutrients at ordinary times can be said to be a big fish and meat. With these nutrients, training can continue.

Raising soldiers, especially raising truly elite soldiers, is extremely expensive.

The biggest consumption is food.

In the age of cold weapons, most weapons are not disposable consumables. No matter how good the swords and bows are, they can be used repeatedly, no matter how high the initial cost is.

Only eating this thing is different.

The Ming Dynasty’s ordinary guard station was to cultivate the fields on weekdays and train troops in their spare time. These soldiers, who had been reduced to the status of tenant farmers of the military attachés, were the worst. They did not have enough to eat, they were not able to take care of themselves, and their combat power… was nothing to say.

Even better soldiers are often the servants of military attaches. Ordinary military attachés often maintain a group of personal soldiers. These personal soldiers eventually become servants, like private slaves. Under normal circumstances, they do not have to engage in production. , the military attaches gave them quite good treatment, such as… giving them a full meal, and what they paid for was their absolute loyalty to the military attaches, which enabled the military attaches to control the army. On the other hand, in combat, they become elites and are the sharp knives in the hands of military attaches.

But even such an elite servant can only ensure that you don’t go hungry.

Big fish and big meat, don’t even think about it.

Therefore, even they can only perform exercises once every three days.

The reason why they exercise every three days is because their bodies cannot withstand too intense training. Otherwise, if they train continuously for a month, seven or eight of the ten people will fall down.

After all, if a person cannot be nutritious and his physical strength is exhausted too quickly and cannot be replenished, his body will have problems.

The Zhengde Guards were different. After entering the camp, all the captains felt that they couldn’t get through the day except crying for their fathers and mothers. From midnight to dark, they seemed like machines that never tired.

But… the food may even be better than the emperor’s.

There are enough cattle and sheep, eggs can be eaten freely, goat milk can be used as water, and as for steamed cakes and white rice, there is an unlimited supply.

Not only do you need to eat enough, but you also need to eat well.

Such a huge intake of nutrients and the non-stop training day and night did not crush these people. On the contrary… they were trained to be like copper skin and iron bones.

The group of people had a completely new look. Almost everyone had grown a lot of flesh. The flesh was quickly transformed into muscles, giving them strength.

Their eyes are bright.

Riding on the horse, everyone held their heads high and held their chests high, working tirelessly.

Even though they were fully armed and had traveled hundreds of miles since leaving the capital, no one was left behind even though they were tired.

According to military regulations, the rules of the Zhengde Guard were very strict. They would go east when the emperor’s grandson Zhu Zaimo told them to go east, and they would never dare to go north if he asked them to go west.

Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click

, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.

What came was Tan Ma.

This is also the rule.

As long as the Zhengde guards leave the camp, they must send out detective horses to investigate the nearby situation, even if… this is not far from the capital, and this is within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The explorer horse came flying, and the man on the horse was breathing heavily. Generally, the explorer horse was often the elite in the camp. He had sharp eyes and a strong back. He prostrated himself: “Your Highness, there are suspicious people and horses ahead…”

“Suspicious people.”

Centaur?” Zhu Zaimo, who was still in excitement, frowned, and he began to realize that something was wrong.

Zhu Zaimo dismounted and glanced at Fang Zhengqing, who also dismounted.

“Where did it come from?”

“He rushed towards the capital from the direction of Datong, and… they obviously also released many scout horses…”

This is indeed something wrong.

If it was just an ordinary move, why were so many scouting horses released, unless they were in a state of preparation for war?

“Although they were wearing the military uniforms of Datong Guards, I deliberately approached them and found that they all had Datong accents. They only said that they were ordinary transfers and that they were sent to the capital on orders… But I was humble…”

Zhu Zaimo looked at it He glanced at Fang Zhengqing.

Fang Zhengqing shuddered: “If it is really a border army, most of them are transferred from other places, and the accent must not only be from Datong’s local troops, but also… At this time, I have never heard that Datong’s troops are to be transferred to Beijing. Your Highness, I think there’s something wrong with this.”

Zhu Zaimo frowned: “Datong, besides the border troops, who else is there?”

A group of teenagers had already gathered around.

There are quite a few clues among these people.

They are by no means ordinary teenagers.

The vast majority of people are descendants of meritorious service or princes. Eighty-nine out of ten of their fathers and ancestors have either made great contributions, so Feng Jue, or they have served in the army, etc. The children, under the influence of their fathers and ancestors, know everything about the military.

Xu Pengju, the grandson of Wei Guogong, wiped his nose and couldn’t help but said: “Even if you want to mobilize troops and horses, you will definitely need military orders from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor’s Office. Most of the troops in Datong in the past few years are guest troops. How could there be a local army and horses?” , just like in the city of Nanjing, where my eldest father is guarding Nanjing. It is extremely difficult for the Nanjing guards to mobilize even a battalion of troops. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they must report to His Majesty, otherwise , My eldest father would never dare to make an independent decision. “

What kind of person is Wei Guogong? He is a very human minister. Even people like him are so cautious, let alone others.

Unless…

Zhu Zaimo frowned, and he suddenly said: “Do you… remember my cousin? A few months ago, he was poisoned. At that time, everyone suspected that it was poisoned by the clan members. The purpose of the murderer was to resist the imperial court calling them to Beijing. This case has been thoroughly investigated, but up to now, there are still no clues. Of course, it is very likely that, although there are clues, the factory guards have already suspected it, but The identity of the person who carried out this murderous act is extraordinary. Even a factory guard would not dare to speak nonsense without solid evidence.”

Zhu Zaimo’s eyes widened: “In Datong, I have an elder, I should call him .

My uncle is the acting king of Datong…could it be…him?”

Zhu Zaimo’s eyes lit up: “I suddenly understood why…my father ordered us to come to Xiaowutai Mountain. Logically speaking, if we are allowed to go hunting. , There is nothing wrong in Xishan. There are many famous mountains and rivers near the capital, but we were only allowed to go all the way west. This is obviously because we have ulterior motives. “

“Not only that, at that time, my father suddenly issued an order for us to set off immediately. This is a very strange thing. Why is it so urgent? “

“Now that I think about it carefully, the most likely possibility is that… Wang Dai’s betrayal has been exposed. It’s a pity that the court has no evidence, and my father is impatient. Therefore, we were sent here deliberately to observe the reaction of the king. If the king is really planning something evil, he will be panicked. He knows that if he does not make any other moves, sooner or later, the factory guards will follow the clues and find him. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight hard to catch us, then… Your Majesty will definitely use the rat weapon. Only in this way can the king be at ease. “

“In other words, we are the bait of the father, just to attract him .

The king took the initiative.”

Although Zhu Zaimo analyzed it like this, even he felt that his assumption was a bit bold.

Hearing this, Fang Zhengqing suddenly cried, his tears falling down with whimpering.

Zhu Zaimo couldn’t help but said: “Why are you crying? What’s so scary about this.”

Fang Zhengqing shook his head: “I’m not afraid, but… I feel sad when I think that my uncle actually used us as bait in order to make the king surrender. . And… I don’t know if my father knew it beforehand. My uncle and my father are inseparable and would tell him everything. But why didn’t my father stop me? “

“…”

The teenagers took a breath. Cool air.

It’s scary to think about it.

Zhu Zaimo patted him on the shoulder: “My mentor must not have known about it beforehand.”

“Really?” Looking at Zhu Zaimo’s determined eyes, Fang Zhengqing suddenly burst into tears and smiled. He believed in Zhu Zaimo.

Zhu Zaimo frowned and analyzed: “Of course, even if my mentor doesn’t care about your lives, he must be afraid that if anything goes wrong with me, Your Majesty will come to him to settle the account. So… Zhengqing, don’t be sad, your father doesn’t know “

Love.”

“Yeah…” Fang Zhengqing smiled at first, and then his smile gradually disappeared.

Because… he cares about the life of the emperor and his grandson, dad will definitely not…

Wow…

Fang Zhengqing… cried again.

………
