Chapter 13 Self-proclaimed Duke
Time is really the fairest existence. It will not speed up because children pray to grow up quickly, nor will it slow down because old people pray to grow old slowly.
Student Xiao Zhu endured like this for an unknown period of time, two months or three months? Or four months?
I don’t know, I live in this square inch every day, except for being taken out for a look during the Spring Festival, I never go out again, and I don’t have anything to pass the time.
Zhu Yuanzhang is very busy, and Mrs. Ma has a lot of work every day. Only Yu'er and the nanny are guarding him every step of the way.
The only interesting thing is to listen to the gossip in the back house. After all, with the expansion of power, Comrade Zhu has more and more women.
But it’s actually not interesting to listen to it for a long time. After all, Ma’s status is too detached.
During the Chinese New Year, there were two new young ladies, they were newcomers after all, and they were quite favored, but just because they pointed at Sang Huai and said a few words about Mrs Ma, before Mrs Ma said anything, those two poor scumbags were thrown away. The furious old Zhu ordered to be killed with a stick!
Even their father and brother were reprimanded, and within a few days they went to the front and never came back...
The backyard is nothing more than those good-for-nothings who taunt each other. In short, no one dares to use any dark tricks.
As for the pregnant Li Shi, Ma Shi took care of her and no one dared to touch her.
In March of the sixteenth year of Zhengzheng, Zhang Shicheng launched an offensive in the Yangtze River Delta to attack the Yuan army in the south of the Yangtze River.
Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the land and water army to attack Jiqing for the third time. On the third day, Chen Zhaoxian's barracks outside the city was broken, and 36,000 of his troops surrendered.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the surrendered army had doubts and was uncertain. So Zhu Yuanzhang selected 500 warriors from the surrendered army as his own army and guarded them at night, while only Feng Guoyong, the leader of his own soldiers, was left beside him.
The next day, when Jiang Jun knew about this, he was very moved, his doubts disappeared, and he was willing to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.
So, the war went very smoothly, and within ten days, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing. After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the city, he ordered to appease the people and changed Jiqing to Yingtianfu.
After Xiaoming Wang Han Liner received the report, he promoted Zhu Yuanzhang to Tongqian of the Privy Council, and soon he was promoted to Pingzhang of Jiangnan and other places.
In Yingtian, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Kangyi Grand Marshal's Mansion, with Liao Yong'an as the commander of the army and Li Shanchang as the left and right minister.
Chang Yuchun and Zhang Yuan were ordered to lead 10,000 elites to **** Lao Zhu's family to Yingtian Mansion!
Comrade Xiao Zhu didn’t sleep this time, but he still didn’t see his future father-in-law Chang Yuchun, who was wrapped tightly and sent to the carriage in the center.
The days in Yingtianfu are actually no different from those in Hezhou Taiping, they are all activities in the same house.
About two months later, Zhu Yuanzhang strode in excitedly, and Xiao Zhu was holding Ma Shi's hand and walking crookedly, calling mother a few times from time to time.
"Haha! My standard is so steady, it is indeed our son, much better than Xu Datang and their family's!"
"Go, why don't you compare yourself with the older sons, the two younger ones can't even crawl."
Old Comrade Zhu’s father has not been called in vain this year, but what Xiao Zhu said most clearly is his father.
Watching Lao Zhu pick up his son and **** his face with stubble, Mrs. Ma asked with a smile: "What's the matter? It made my husband so happy, but our mother and I haven't seen your smiling face for almost a month."
Old Zhu waved his hand and all the people standing beside him retreated, and then he said: "Hey, isn't this a lot of troubles and troubles recently, sister, let me tell you good news, the envoy has already started preparations for the envoy ceremony!"
"In a few days, you will be the Duke's wife, hahahaha, are you happy?"
Mrs. Ma also smiled but thought of something: "Happy is happy, but why is it so sudden, is your husband the king of Ming?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Han Lin'er is just a king himself, how dare he grant us the title of Duke, I made it myself."
"And the people below can't wait anymore, and they haven't moved their positions for a long time."
Mashi persuaded: "Chong Ba, the people below are in a hurry to get promoted, you can't be in a hurry, you are still under the King Ming in name, after all, so self-appointed as a public without any reason is tantamount to tearing face off with Han Lin'er, you have to think carefully!"
Student Zhu Biao quietly hugged Lao Zhu's neck and listened. It was his turn to intervene in these matters.
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out a hand to hold his wife's hand: "Don't worry, we have already considered it with Li Shanchang and the others carefully. I have officially changed from a martial artist to the leader of one side!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Ma saw that her husband had made up his mind, so he didn't continue to persuade him. With a smile on his face, he said to the door: "Ruyi, go and order the kitchen to cook more dishes that the commander-in-chief is willing to eat, and take two more jars." liquor."
"Hey, it's my sister who loves us. Let's drink a few drinks with us today. This is a great event for our family!"
"By the way, on the day we became the Duke, we directly made Biao'er the eldest son, so that all three of our family will be promoted."
Ma Shi walked over to pull Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down, stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders: "Forget it, Biao'er is still young, such a big blessing is not a good thing for a child, wait a few more years."
Zhu Yuanzhang is right after thinking about it, let’s talk about a prince and son, at least we have to earn a throne for our son.
A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang's civil and military ministers jointly wrote a letter, "persuading him to advance", advising him to become king and hegemony. When I was less than 29 years old, I established myself as "Wu Guogong" in Nanjing today!
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged Li Shanchang and other literati in place. Since it was mainly a wartime arrangement at that time, this civilian government was also set up around the wartime military. The left and right counselors are Li Shanchang and Li Siyan, and the other attendants are military staff officers or doctors of literature. Together they formed Zhu Yuanzhang's think tank.
In the army, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the mansions of the Marshals of the Five Armies, the front, the back, the left, and the middle. After these marshals and vanguards siege cities and lands, those who entrust local guards are still marshals or vanguards of the five armies.
Also set up the left and right soldiers and horses, responsible for monitoring civil servants and generals, and also sent spies to search for information all over the country, drawing maps in order to sweep the world smoothly in the future.

After finishing this chapter, there are only 20,000 words. It’s not much, but it’s also quite commemorative for me as a newbie. I never thought that the results of this book would be so good (maybe I haven’t seen it before)
I hope that this book can be signed. Although it is said that the signing is only the beginning of the rush, I still hope to be recognized (ì_í)
Thank you all for your support, especially the old buddies who have always supported and encouraged me. To be honest, I am too lazy to read novels with only more than 10,000 characters, but I am really grateful that you not only read but also encouraged and supported me!
