Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

The marriage proposal went very smoothly.

After all, Zhang Erhu is no longer what he used to be.

In the past, this boy was a poor military man and a deserter, so Liu Lizhang naturally looked down on him.

But now Zhang Erhu not only became a soldier of the New Army, but also received a monthly salary, and he was also highly regarded and had a bright future. How could Liu Lichang, a mature man, refuse such a golden son-in-law?

What's more, this is the prince's marriage proposal. Not to mention that Liu Lichang dare not refuse, he has no reason to refuse!

If Zhang Erhu can get into the eyes of the Crown Prince, it will definitely be a sure thing that he will be granted the title of Marquis in the future!

Liu Lichang agreed with almost a smile on his face. He even couldn't wait to prepare for the wedding and invited His Royal Highness Zhu Gaoxu to host it.

The prince personally officiated his daughter's wedding, so wouldn't his old Liu family also benefit from it? Who would dare to provoke them in the future?

Zhu Gaoxu saw Liu Lichang's plan at a glance, so he decisively refused.

After the marriage proposal was over, he rushed to Daning with Nie Xing and Guo Deng.

While idle on the road, Nie Xing suddenly smiled and said, "That boy Zhang Erhu is so lucky!"

"That's not true!" Guo Deng also spoke up.

Zhu Gaoxu was confused when he heard this and was a little unable to react.

"Ahem, that girl from Liu Lizhang is thick-shouldered, broad and fat, how do you like this?"

"Prince, you don't understand this." Nie Xing grinned and said, "Women with big butts are easy to give birth to and are good at work, so they are very popular among the people."

"On the contrary, ordinary people really look down on those women with slender waists and delicate bodies."

It turns out there is such a truth.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, and then changed the topic.

"Nie Xing has a group of wives and concubines, enjoying all the blessings of the people of Qi."

"Guo Deng, you are already a grown man. When will you find a good match?"

Hearing this, Guo Deng was dumbfounded and his face turned red instantly.

"That...this..."

"What the hell, hurry up and get a wife and have a fat boy!"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately urged him, and a figure appeared in his mind.

That was Guo Lan, who died tragically in the hands of barbarians trying to block a knife for him.

He was gone at such a young age, and he had not even married a wife yet.

Guo Deng is the adopted son of Guo Lan's brothers, inheriting the incense of Guo Lan's lineage.

"Prince, I want to establish a career first!" Guo Deng suddenly said.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he took a deep look at Guo Deng.

Ever since this kid was adopted to Guo Lan, Zhu Gaoxu has been taking him with him to train him personally.

Now it seems that this kid has hardened his wings and wants to go into battle to kill the enemy!

Zhu Gaoxu was a little disappointed, but he did not refuse.

After all, Guo Deng was one of the few famous generals in the mid-Ming Dynasty in the history books, and he held up the whole world during his campaigns in the south and in the north.

Now that he is in his late twenties, it is indeed not the case to continue to stay by his side and act as a bodyguard.

"Then have you thought about where to go?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Guo Deng and gave him a chance to make his own decisions.

Guo Deng knelt down and pondered for a long time before he bravely spoke.

"Prince, I want to go to Liaodong!"

Liaodong!

Still fighting!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

"If you want to make great achievements, Liaodong is indeed a good choice!"

"The Jurchen clan has been fighting for so long, and their vitality is almost severely damaged. The court can prepare to end it."

"In that case, then go to Liaodong. Take Gu's East Palace waistband and go to Liaodong to find Yang Rong. He will make arrangements for you."

Zhu Gaoxu threw out a waist card, and Guo Deng had tears in his eyes after taking it.

"Prince, I..."

"Okay, sooner or later such a day will come!"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and reassured: "Remember that you are the son of Guo Lan, the hero of the Ming Dynasty after Wu Dinghou Guo Ying. Don't live up to the honor of your father and ancestors. Go to Liaodong now!"

The parting came very suddenly, but Zhu Gaoxu was used to it.

Guo Deng knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Zhu Gaoxu, and then headed straight to Liaodong with several personal guards.

After he left, Nie Xingce immediately stepped forward.

"This kid has grown up too!"

"If Xiao Lanlan has a spirit in heaven, she will also feel relieved."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said nothing more.

He missed Guo Lan even more, but it was a pity that his old friend had passed away.

Guo Deng's sudden departure also made Zhu Gaoxu lose interest.

Silently all the way, the group finally arrived in Daning.

Daning is outside Xifengkou, in the ancient Huizhou area, connected to Liaozuo in the east and Xuanfu in the west. It is a giant town in northern Xinjiang.

After the imperial court reformed the military system, Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, was appointed commander-in-chief of the Northwest Theater Command, and the administrative seat of the Northwest Theater Command was in Daning.

Chen Mao had long known the news of the prince's arrival and had led his generals to wait outside Daning City early.

As soon as he saw the visitor, Chen Mao suddenly smiled.

"The last general, Chen Mao, meets the Crown Prince!"

All the generals also knelt down and saluted.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded, dismounted and helped Chen Mao up.

"The main purpose of this patrol is to inspect the border defense."

"Daning is a top priority. How is the recovery now?"

Daning was originally a giant town in northern Xinjiang, with Nulu Huer Mountain to the east and the Laoha River, the source of the Liaohe River in the west, flowing from the south. Daning controls the upper reaches of the Liao River to the north, the Daling River Basin to the east, is connected to Xuanfu in the west, and is adjacent to the Yanshan Great Wall in the south. Its strategic position is quite important. UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.netｔ

During the Hongwu period, the imperial court vigorously developed the Daning area and established a post station system reaching Beijing in the south, Xuanfu in the west, and Guangning in the east, connecting the northern frontier as a whole.

This was an important step in the strategic layout of Emperor Taizu Gao's long-term peace and stability in the northern border. Its core was to advance the northern defense line to the southern edge of the desert, thereby taking the transition zone between the Great Wall and the desert into his own hands.

Even in order to strengthen this line of defense, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang enfeoffed a number of Sai kings to garrison various military important places and unite the army to guard the border. Among them, Ning King Zhu Quan was enfeoffed in Daning, together with the Liao King in Guangning in the east and the Gu King in Xuanfu in the west. Echoing each other from a distance.

However, during the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Laosi went north to Daning to threaten King Zhu Quan of Ning, and the Daning guards moved south. The upper reaches of the Liao River were emptied, and the Daning guards existed in name only. After Zhu Di ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, they were delayed due to various reasons. He refused to restore the Daning Capital Division, but instead changed the title of King Ning to Nanchang and reset the Daning Capital Division to Baoding, which was equivalent to moving the Daning Guard inward in disguise.

However, as a result, there was a huge gap in the northern Xinjiang defense line left by Emperor Taizu Gao!

As a result, a large number of Mongolian tribes could not defeat the imperial army, so they rushed into the Liaodong area. As a result, the situation in Liaodong became increasingly corrupt and the pressure doubled.

Daning Dusi was originally the northwest defense line of Liaodong Dusi. Previously, when Daning Dusi moved inland, the Liaodong region lost this barrier.

Zhu Gaoxu promoted the reform of the military system and immediately made up for this hidden danger, directly setting the administrative center of the Northwest Theater in Daning.

After this period of development, Daning has gradually recovered its atmosphere as a giant town.

"Prince, don't worry, it's only a matter of time before Daning recovers."

Chen Mao patted his chest and made a promise.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Daning's position is crucial and cannot be missed.

After all, we can’t really let the “Emperor guard the country”, right?
