First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1 The Year of the Dragon and Phoenix

In the first year of the dragon and phoenix, outside Jiqing City (now Nanjing), tens of thousands of troops were waving banners and flags. The huge army was like a black cloud pressing down on the city. With the shouts of several knights, thousands of soldiers pushed the siege equipment and approached the city. .

The soldiers on the Jiqing city wall were numbly preparing arrows and rolling logs, and a golden liquid was boiling on the big black pot next to it, emitting a strong and pungent smell.

There were dead bodies all over the city above and below the city, and several huge pits were dug below the city to bury them, but the people above the city were panic-stricken, only dozens of emaciated civilians were moving the corpses.

In a military tent outside the city, more than a dozen generals were constantly arguing, swearing a few foul words from time to time, and there were many small movements between pushing and shoving.

If you want to fight, fight! Take down Jiqing and occupy a piece of treasure land. I can advance or retreat later. There is no hesitation!

Bah! What do you motherfuckers know! Jiqing is easy to fight, how can we stay here! What will that King Ming do then?

Hehe! I don't understand! You fucking understand!

That's enough! How far do you guys know! Didn't you listen to what Mr. Li said!

Sitting above was a man in black armor, with a handsome face, but he was frowning tightly, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Report! There is a messenger!

The man above looked up, all the generals shut up immediately after a tiger's eye glance, and the big tent became quiet all at once.

Come in!

Two soldiers armed with knives walked in with a man outside the door, and the man knelt down to announce the good news to the general above.

Report to the lord! Great joy! Madam gave birth to a son at dawn the day before yesterday! Congratulations to the lord for having a successor!

The man above was stunned for a moment, and then joy flooded his cheeks. Before he could say anything, the soldiers below were already laughing more happily than they had children.

Hahahahaha! Congratulations, my lord! There is a successor!

This is a great joyous event, even greater than the immediate surrender of the whole city in Jiqing.

Zhu Yuanzhang is already twenty-seven years old this year, and has never had any heirs. This is also a major obstacle to what he is going to do now! No one will follow a master who has no descendants.

Now, he also has a son!

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted their congratulations with a wave of his hand, and the generals didn't care. They turned their heads excitedly and started talking to the people next to them.

Just now they didn't dare to look like the marshal was going to eat people, now, there is a reason to drink the wine hidden in the evening, and the marshal will not be harsh on the day of great joy, hahahaha.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of his wife and hurriedly asked, How is Madam?

The servant hurriedly replied: Madam is fine, mother and child are safe, they are recuperating at Chen Di's house, it was Madam who asked me to come and report.

Hahahahahaha! Good! Good! Good!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up against the table, holding the sword at his waist with one hand, looking at the Jiqing city wall in the distance with his tiger eyes, as if there were flames burning in his eyes.

Order! Withdraw!

The generals below were stunned for a moment, and then agreed in unison!

The generals began to arrange for the withdrawal of the troops as soon as they dispersed their tents. Withdrawing the troops was not an easy task.

After everyone went out, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his face and said softly: Son, son, our old Zhu finally has a bloodline!

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the tent and listened to the servants talking behind him, but his heart was full of pride and ambition: You came at the right time, just watch, your father will make a big fortune for you!

Win Jiqing, now is not the time!

Guo Zixing had just died of illness, Xiaoming Wang Han Lin'er appointed Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianxu as the Marshal of the capital, his wife and brother Zhang Tianyou as the right deputy marshal, and him as the left deputy marshal.

In name, Marshal Du is the head of the army, and the right deputy marshal has a higher status than the left deputy marshal.

However, most of the armies in Chuzhou and Hezhou were recruited by Zhu Yuanzhang, and all the generals in the army have already taken refuge.

Here he has the final say! But thinking of my own ambitions, I still need to endure...

Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to be controlled by King Xiao Ming, but considering the power of Han and Song Dynasties, he could use his power to command the army with the dragon and phoenix calendar.

In this way, even if he captures Jiqing at any cost, he is still King Xiaoming's subordinate army in name, and if he does not hand it over when the time comes, it will attract criticism.

Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly!

Don't worry, since my son is born, naturally I have to walk steadily.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the supervising army sent by King Xiaoming was walking towards him, with a contemptuous smile on his face, and when the time came, he chopped down the dog.

He casually dismissed the supervising army, and it was originally covered by the tiger skin of Mingjiao (Manichaeism), and he didn't really believe in the nonsense that King Ming was born, and Xiao Ming's supervising army couldn't control him.

Our old Zhu has also been in the temple!

The guards at the side brought a strong black horse without a trace of variegation. It was a wedding present from Guo Zixing back then.

The army responded before and after pulling out the camp, and retreated in a mighty manner. The defenders in Jiqing City were overjoyed, but fearing that there was some plan, they even guarded the city gate, sending only a dozen cavalry to keep away hundreds of meters away. Watch from afar.

In the afternoon, the Chinese army passed by a hill, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still immersed in the fact that he had a bloodline heir, ordered a stone inscription saying, Whoever comes to this mountain will not suffer without heirs!

Dozens of strong men outside the mansion of Chen Di, a businessman in Taiping, Hezhou (now Dangtu County, Anhui), guarded the gate, with long knives on their waists and long bows on their backs, scanning their surroundings vigilantly.

A dark and thin old man was carrying more than ten catties of food and pulled a half-sized boy through the gate of the mansion. He walked quickly with his head bowed. The boy was curious and secretly looked back.

At a glance, the whole body was stiff, and I saw a big man looking at them coldly, but when he turned his head, his eyes met, and his heart suddenly jumped. The boy wanted to turn his head, but he couldn't control his body for some reason .

Snapped!

I felt a pain in my head, and my uncle yelled in a low voice: It's like a dog! I'm lazy after only a few steps, go away!

The kid responded indiscriminately, hurriedly escaped from that terrifying line of sight, and quickly followed the steps of the uncle and walked out.

After walking two streets, Hei Wa regained his composure: Phew, sir, the guards of Mr. Chen's house have changed? Why are the newcomers so bluffing, my back is sweating.

Uncle Hei Wa also slowed down his pace, put down the food to soothe his shoulders.

Hey! Why don't you say that you bastard is ignorant, those are not ordinary gatekeepers, they are soldiers in all likelihood, and they are not ordinary soldiers.

Master, why aren't you just an ordinary soldier?

How does it feel for your baby to be stared at by them?

Hey, I almost pissed out! It feels like being watched by a wolf.

Ha, that's right! People who can do this just by looking at them are either killed from the dead, or they are high-ranking nobles.

Remember, when you see this kind of person in the future, bend over, bow your head, and go away! Do you understand?

Seeing Hei Wa nodding, the old man turned his head and felt a little sad: I don't know when this shitty world will end?

In the hall of the mansion, a rich and noble middle-aged man was sitting upright, drinking a sip of tea and said to the young woman beside him: Madam, you must be careful in everything, and you must not be negligent.

The concubine understands that the servants of the family are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard except for the children of the family. The doctor and the nanny also use knowledge and knowledge. The concubine personally watches over the food and never relaxes.

That's good. I have received the news that the Marshal has withdrawn and returned. The more so, you and my wife should not be negligent.

Okay, the concubine will go back to take care of the wife and young master.

Looking at the figure of the lady at home walking away quickly, Chen Di secretly sighed, The world is chaotic, and dragons and snakes are mixed. I don't know if my bet is right?

Mrs. Chen in the inner courtyard carefully asked about the situation of the adults and children, and was relieved to confirm that the mother and child were healthy.

A gentle voice came from inside the room: Sister Chen is here, right? I'm really bothering you. If you don't mind, please come in.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly replied softly: Why did my sister wake up, but did my sister's words disturb you?

The maid next to her opened the door carefully, fearing that a little cold wind would come in, so Chen also hurried in.

Walking into the inner room, there is a woman with a soft face and a tough face between her brows, lying on the bed with a pale complexion, covered with a thick quilt, but it is difficult to hide the joy of being a new mother.

Chen sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to cover the Buddha quilt, My sister is a noble person, and she gave birth to the eldest son of the commander-in-chief safely, and she has been so energetic in just five days.

Mrs. Ma didn't care about her own body. She was lonely and dependent on others since she was a child. Although she didn't suffer any abuse, it can't be said that life was easy. In addition, after getting married, she followed her husband to fight here and there, and her body was extremely healthy. Slowed down a lot.

But thinking of the child he had just touched with his own hands, he couldn't help showing a maternal smile.

That child is very good, he doesn't cry or make trouble, his little face is pink and tender...

Looking at Ma Shi who was so excited to become a new mother, Mrs. Chen also remembered that her children, especially the first one, are always special.

Ah~ wow~ ah ow~

The faint sound penetrated the wall, and not many people heard it.

Mrs. Chen was still listening intently to Mrs. Ma's narration, but Mrs. Ma, who was telling about her child seriously, heard her child's cry in an instant, and asked immediately.

The child is crying! Come on, what's the matter, bring the child here!

Mrs. Chen was taken aback, and quickly comforted Mrs. Ma, Sister, don't panic, the child may have urinated, and it's normal for a newborn child to cry a lot.

Ma Shi still looked anxious, and she was relieved until the nanny brought the child over and gently placed it beside her.

Ma Shi reluctantly touched his son's cheek sideways, looked into his eyes, and gently stroked his soft arms: Good boy, mother is here, don't cry, don't cry~

The child became quiet when he reached his mother's side, staring at her with black and white round eyes.

This is my mother in this life, a famous virtuous queen in history, she is also Empress Ma, the first wife of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Qianben is a student who just graduated, and he is living a good life, but unfortunately encountered an epidemic...
