Father can be an enemy to the country

"Father, it's better to inform the second brother and the others." The prince was quite speechless to this old father who had healed his scar and forgot about the pain.

"No, this is a rare training opportunity." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head decisively and said: "On the march, if the enemy is about to attack, do you need to be notified? As long as they stay vigilant and strictly abide by the marching rules, there will be no problem."

"Dad, you want to..." Zhu Biao couldn't help but wonder whether his father liked to be abused by his mother.

"Just do it like this, nothing will happen." Zhu Yuanzhang was happy with it.

Seeing that Zhu Biao was really worried, he said honestly: "Don't worry, we haven't given up completely. Before you came in, we had sent people to Beijing to pass the order to Feng Sheng, who was training there, and tell him The celestial phenomena have changed, and he has been told to take precautions and guard himself strictly. He has also been told to tell the horse this, so you should be relieved now, right?"

The horse's name is Xu Sima, and like Mu Ying and Ping Bao'er, he is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son. He is currently the commander-in-chief of the Henan Dusi and is a close confidant of Lao Zhu's family.

Feng Sheng is also Lao Wu's prospective father-in-law, so he will naturally be particularly concerned about him.

Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With Song Guogong and Brother Sima watching, I won't worry anymore."

Then he patted Lao Liu on the shoulder and said, "What if something goes wrong if we just rely on Lao Liu?"

"Brother, you don't have to be so tactful." Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "Isn't it just that I'm worried that my mouth will be hairless and I won't be able to do my job well?"

"It's okay, you're better than a monkey when it comes to hair." Zhu Biao shook his head and said with a smile, "When my eldest brother was twelve years old, he was already touring the world on behalf of his father."

"That's it, don't treat yourself like a child. A serious person can work in the fields." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looked at his sixth son and said: "Look at this fat guy, even if he says that he is in the 14th or 5th Five-Year Plans, some people believe him."

"..." Zhu Zhen was speechless. Okay, I have evolved from a big fat boy to a fat boy.

~~

Without further ado, after Zhu Zhen received the decree, he immediately went to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to find his eldest cousin to handle troop deployment matters.

Naturally, Cao Guogong did not neglect at all. With the fastest efficiency, he completed the procedures for troop deployment before dark and sent out an urgent call of eight hundred miles.

Three days later, Zhu Zhen came to Jiangdongmen Pier with his new dog-headed strategist, Robben, who couldn't shoot.

At the end of October on the bank of the Yangtze River, plum blossoms were covered with white frost, and the dikes were flat and the shadows of the trees were cold.

There was even more solemnity on the pier, with five thousand soldiers in bright uniforms and neat formations.

His eldest uncle and his second uncle also put on a full set of armor today and stood with their heads held high in front of the team.

After His Highness the King of Chu got off the cow, Hu Quan and Hu Bo shouted loudly: "Salute!"

With a crash, five thousand soldiers knelt down on one knee with their weapons in hand.

"Hu Quan, the commander of the central guard in Wuchang! Hu Bo, the commander of the left guard in Wuchang, led the officers and soldiers of the two guards to pay homage to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Greetings to His Highness the King of Chu!" the five thousand soldiers shouted.

Zhu Zhen immediately felt a little overwhelmed and felt like he had become the Dragon King with a crooked mouth. It was so damn good!

"Your Highness, please say a few words to the soldiers." Wang Ma reminded in a low voice.

"Well." Zhu Zhen nodded reservedly, looked around his soldiers with a proud expression, and then cleared his throat and lectured: "Everyone, this is the first time our army from the Prince's Palace of Chu goes out on an expedition. We must win the first battle and give this king a good start! "

"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison.

"In addition, I would like to emphasize that during this expedition, the army must be in good order and there must be no offense!" Zhu Zhen said loudly: "This is the method of leading troops taught by my father. I believe the two commanders, I usually teach you this way. Can you do it?"

"Yes!" The soldiers agreed without hesitation.

For no other reason than because His Highness the King of Chu gave too much...

"I, Zhu Zhen, have no other strong points. I only know one thing: rewards and punishments are clear. Under heavy rewards, there will be brave men! Under heavy punishments, there will be fearful people!" Then he heard His Royal Highness the King of Chu say loudly:

"You abide by the military disciplines established by this king and work hard to fight for me. I will give you double pay and double rewards! All death and injury compensation will also be double, so you will have no worries!"

"Yes!" The soldiers' eyes lit up when they heard this. This was the fundamental reason why they were obedient.

"But whoever violates military discipline will also face double punishment!" Zhu Zhen, however, did not just bribe him. He also knew how to use kindness and power and said: "When the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"No." The soldiers thought this was fair. If you receive double military pay and rewards, you will naturally be punished twice if you violate military regulations.

"Let's go." Zhu Zhen waved his hand, and Hu Quan quickly ordered to board the ship.

Seeing his soldiers lining up silently and getting on the boat, Hu Bo whispered to his brother: "Our Highness is so powerful. With these few words, the soldiers know who to listen to."

"Nonsense." Hu Quan said matter-of-factly: "Otherwise, can the emperor trust him to command the troops?"

As he spoke, he murmured to the side: "This time it's not just us, there are also people from the Chaohu Navy."

~~

The person responsible for transporting the 5,000 King Chu troops was the Chaohu Navy.

As soon as Nan'an Hou Yu Tongyuan received the order, he immediately led 30 warships and rushed to Nanjing from Huai'an at starry night.

"The general will pay homage to His Highness." When King Chu finished his lecture, he led Liao Dingguo and Yu Tongjiang and hurried forward to pay their respects to Lao Liu.

"Hahaha, time flies so fast. Marquis Nan'an has two generals. The last time we met was the last time." Lao Liu enthusiastically helped the three of them up and said: "Get up, get up, you are my royal brothers. My savior does not need to pay such a courtesy."

"Your Highness is joking." Yu Tongyuan smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it on board the boat." Zhu Zhen was really considerate when he needed to be considerate.

"Your Highness, please." The three people hurriedly turned aside to greet him, and surrounded Zhu Zhen and went up to the flagship.

Hu Xian and Deng Duo, who served as Zhu Zhen's guards, naturally stayed by his side.

Luo Guanzhong followed behind. Gao Tie and Li Fangyuan quickly supported him on the left and right to prevent the myopic man from slipping and falling into the water.

~~

After boarding the boat, without the attention of outsiders, Yu Tongyuan took Yu Tongjiang and Liao Dingguo and knelt down to Zhu Zhen again.

Then the Marquis of Nan'an kowtowed to Zhu Zhen and said, "Your Highness is the savior of our Chaohu Navy!"

"That's right." Yu Tongjiang also said: "We came back to our senses afterwards. It turns out that His Highness took the risk to come to see you. He said it was to save several His Highnesses, but in fact it was to save us!"

"Yes." Yu Tongjiang said with emotion: "If His Highness hadn't given us this credit, all of us in the Chaohu Navy, including tens of thousands of people, would have died."

This is true. They didn't know at the time that the mantis was stalking the cicada and the oriole was behind. Boss Zhu had already laid a dragnet, waiting for them to take the initiative to rebel.

It was only later that they realized that they had walked away from the gate of hell... If the King of Chu hadn't given them a great gift of "saving the king for their merits", the only thing waiting for them would have been to be completely wiped out.
