"Oh, I'm so worried!"

Seeing her husband ignoring her after talking for a long time, Mrs. Zhang became a little angry.

"I've been talking to you for a long time, why don't you even say a word, even if it's a piece of wood, after I spit so much, it should sprout!"

Zhu Pangpang put down his pen helplessly.

"What do you want me to say, my son has been out for more than a year, and even if I want to say it, he can't say it!"

Zhang groaned angrily.

"This old man really treats people like livestock. Since his son got married, he has hardly stayed at home for a few days."

"Whether he is running to the north or to the sea, your son is also heartless. After so long, he can't even write a letter. It seems that he has completely forgotten about my mother."

"How dare I come back!"

Zhu Pangpang shook his head helplessly, and before he could reply, a response came from outside the door.

Both Zhu Pangpang and Mrs. Zhang were stunned for a moment, and looked towards the door in disbelief.

Outside the door, Zhu Zhangui and his daughter-in-law Zhao Linger stood at the door, looking at the old couple cheerfully.

Seeing clearly that it was really his son, Mrs. Zhang stood up in surprise, rushed forward a few steps, pushed away Zhu Zhangui who was about to hug her, and looked behind the two of them.

"Mom, what are you looking for!"

Zhu Zhangui looked at Mrs. Zhang speechlessly.

"Where's my grandson?"

Mrs. Zhang, who was looking left and right, turned around angrily, squeezed Zhu Zhangui's ears, and asked where her grandson was.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, mother, please be gentle, Qi Rui was brought by the old man's side and didn't let me bring him back."

When she heard that her grandson had not been brought back, Mrs. Zhang became even angrier.

"Then why are you coming back? Are you making trouble for me?"

"Of course not. Although I didn't bring back the big one, I brought you a small one."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, but didn't understand what it means to bring back a small one.

"Please invite our little county lord to make his debut!"

Zhu Zhangui chuckled, and shouted behind a flower pot.

Hearing Zhu Zhangui's words, Mrs. Zhang and the smiling Zhu Pangpang looked at the flower pot in surprise.

Zhao Linger's maid came out from behind the flowerpot with a smile in her arms, holding a little guy in her arms.

"This…"

Seeing the little guy in the maid's arms slowly walking over, Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth in surprise, and Zhu Pangpang also rubbed her hands excitedly.

"This is your granddaughter, whose baby name is Miaoyan. Not long after the full moon, we were supposed to arrive last month. Ling'er suddenly gave birth when we were at the port. We spent the full moon there before returning."

"I specifically notified the people below, don't tell you, I just want to come back and give you a surprise."

"What... just the full moon!"

When Mrs. Zhang heard that her little granddaughter had just reached the full moon, she gave Zhu Zhangui a vicious look, quickly and carefully took her granddaughter, and urged Zhao Linger, who was smiling at them beside her, to quickly enter the house.

"You stinky boy, I said why the logistics team didn't send a letter when they came back last month, and you have returned with your feelings!"

Looking straight at the granddaughter who was carried in by his wife, Zhu Pangpang complained to Zhu Zhangui angrily.

Zhu Zhangui hurriedly apologized, stepped forward and helped Zhu Pangpang into the house.

"Why is your grandfather willing to let you come back? How is the matter over there!"

Seeing that his granddaughter couldn't come from his wife for a while, Zhu Pangpang could only take care of the business first.

"I discussed a new plan with my grandfather. His old man asked me to come back to preside over this matter. In addition, I also brought an imperial decree to increase the number of troops."

Zhu Pangpang, who was happily looking at his granddaughter, frowned for a moment, turned to look at Zhu Zhangui and asked nervously.

"We need to increase our troops, are you in trouble over there?"

Seeing that his father was so nervous, Zhu Zhangui explained that he was afraid that he would think too much.

"I didn't encounter any trouble, but it was bigger than we imagined, and the control force was not enough. There was a Turkic descendant in the north who was eyeing us!"

"The 7 troops led by the British government blocked the 20 troops on the opposite side!"

"But the army responsible for attacking and occupying is more than 3 people. We have already captured half of the Ganges Plain, and the gang of weak chickens on the opposite side can break through at any time. It's just that we don't have enough troops to control such a large territory, so We can only temporarily stop attacking, Grandpa asked me to come back and dispatch troops!"

Zhu Zhangui said, and handed the old man's imperial edict to his father Zhu Pangpang.

"An increase of 20!"

Seeing the imperial decree to increase the number of troops, Zhu Pangpang frowned tightly.

"You won't disagree!"

Seeing that his father Zhu Pangpang frowned, Zhu Zhangui was a little worried that Zhu Pangpang would object again.

After all, Zhu Pangpang has always advocated stopping the war and recuperating people's livelihood.

After the Northern Expedition was finally finished, the common people could breathe a sigh of relief. Zhu Pangpang would definitely not agree to launch a large-scale war with tens of thousands of people.

If it wasn't for the strong orders of the old man and the temptation to save the entire Ming people from famine in the future, Zhu Pangpang would have strongly opposed the expeditionary force going to sea.

Zhu Pangpang gave Zhu Zhangui a white look.

"Your father and I are not so pedantic!"

"The supply fleet brought back so much food, silver, money and treasures, which greatly enriched the national treasury. No matter how pedantic I am, I won't make trouble with money. Besides, this is your grandfather's decree, and I can't even object to it." .”

"What worries me is where to mobilize troops."

"The remaining troops of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion cannot be moved. They are the troops protecting the capital. They must deter the forces of Xiaoxiao and the grasslands. They cannot move unless it is absolutely necessary!"

Zhu Zhangui breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the old man Zhu Pangpang is not really pedantic, otherwise he would have to spend a lot of time explaining.

"Grandpa and I have considered this issue. Our idea is to draw from various guards to form a 20 coalition army, and reorganize it into the expeditionary army in the Three Kingdoms!"

Zhu Pangpang nodded and agreed to this method.

"Then who is your grandfather planning to command this time, or let you take it directly!"

Speaking of this question, Zhu Zhangui looked depressed.

"My grandfather asked my second uncle and third uncle to lead the army. I wanted to object, but my grandfather didn't even listen. He didn't give me a chance to object."

"Second and third!"

Knowing that the old man planned to let Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui go, Zhu Pangpang fell silent, and finally shook his head helplessly.

Chapter 201: Zhou Xuan, the father of the steam engine.

Staring at the imperial decree for a while, Zhu Pangpang said with a complicated expression: "It seems that your grandfather wants to hand over the area of ​​the Three Kingdoms to your second and third uncles!"

Zhu Zhangui naturally understood the old man's thoughts.

A Sanguo is such a big place, and it is so far away from Daming, even though Daming Wusi Zangdu Division borders the territory of A Sanguo.

But the place at the border is now being controlled by the descendants of the Turks in the north.

In addition, Wusi Zangdu Division belongs to the plateau area, and there are high mountains and abyss everywhere. The Ming army is not suitable for the environment there, and it can be said that it is very difficult to pass by land.

The sea route is so far away, if the Sanguo area is handed over to outsiders, the old man will not feel at ease at all.

So he chose his second son Zhu Gaoxu and third son Zhu Gaosui.

In this way, even if the two parties cut off contact, the old Zhu's family would still rule Ah Sanguo.

The old man is not afraid that the second and third children will retaliate against Daming after they take root in the Three Kingdoms.

The navy is in the hands of Zhu Zhangui. Coupled with the gap in technology between the two sides, it is impossible for the second and third to catch up in a hundred years.

Besides, the research of the second and third, Zhu Zhangui did not stop, the artisan battalion under him was researching various things every day.

Coupled with Zhu Zhangui's magical ability, in terms of manpower and material resources, the second and third are simply not comparable.

As for after this generation is gone, whether the future generations will be peace or war, the old man can't control it.

The children and grandchildren have their own blessings. In the future, whether the two families will merge into one or live independently will depend on the means of future generations.

Anyway, no matter what you say, even if it is broken, it is still rotten in your own pot.

Slowly wrapping up the imperial decree, Zhu Pangpang got up and said, "It's good to leave, so as not to disturb you in the future! You have to think about how to arrange them."

After finishing speaking, he walked into the back room with the imperial decree, preparing to write letters to the second and third children, asking them to return to the capital to report on their duties, and ready to go to Ah Sanguo.

"What's wrong with your father, wasn't he happy just now, why is he pulling his face again!"

Zhang, who was coaxing her little granddaughter, noticed that her husband was a little lonely, and asked Zhu Zhangui in a low voice.

"Grandpa intends to let the second uncle and the third uncle go to Asanguo. My father guesses that grandpa may want to hand over the management of the place to the second and third uncles!"

Mrs. Zhang raised her brows, "Your grandfather, you still can't let go of your second and third uncles, that is, you are supporting your father, otherwise, your father's position would have been unstable for a long time."

"Ugh!"

Seeing the little granddaughter being lulled to sleep in her arms, Mrs. Zhang sighed annoyed.

"When you were not around, your father lived in fear every day, for fear that if he did something wrong, he would be blamed by your grandfather."

"Every night, I work late into the night, and my body is exhausted. It's just your grandpa who still says he scolds him every day."

"I watched helplessly as your father's body deteriorated day by day. Most of your father's body became like this because your grandfather was scared."

"It means that you came back later and shared some pressure for your father, otherwise your father would be lying on the bed now."

"It's hard to drive your second uncle and third uncle to the fief now. I thought our family would be stable, but I didn't expect the old man to make trouble again."

"I've heard from your father about that place. It's very big. He said that the cultivated area is larger than that of our Ming dynasty."

"Such a rich place, coupled with a large population, with your second uncle and third uncle's careful thinking, you just watch it, the days to come, some troubles!"

Zhu Zhangui didn't know what his mother was worried about.

The third uncle is hard to say, but the second uncle will definitely make trouble.

But what's the use of knowing, and what can he do.

He is just a grandson, although he has a lot of military power in his hands, but as long as the old man is around, the Ming Dynasty will still be decided by the old man.

"Mother, don't think too much about it. In the imperial court, we have taken down the second and third uncles. Even if we go to the Three Kingdoms, we won't be able to make any waves."

"You, don't worry about so many things, take care of your granddaughter, take good care of my father, there is me outside!"

The news of Zhu Zhangui's return spread quickly.

At the same time, the imperial palace issued an order for the guards in various places to mobilize troops.

An increase of 20 troops.

Many people were shocked.

Could it be that there is a problem with the expeditionary force, or how could so many troops be mobilized?

Many people panicked in their hearts, and the family members of the generals who followed the expeditionary army all asked how their relatives were doing.

Many people even went directly to the East Palace, begging to see Prince Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui saw that everyone looked like this, worried that there would be some misunderstanding, and announced the reason for the increase in troops in the name of the court.

When they learned that it was not because of the big defeat, but because the occupied territory was too large and the manpower was insufficient, the troops were relieved.

"Don't worry, Marquis Yuanjiang, nothing happened. I saw Mr. Ling when I came back. He is guarding a county with soldiers. He eats all kinds of fruits every day and enjoys the beauties sent by the people below. It was a good day. Not to mention how moist it is."

"This brat, he actually enjoys it, when he comes back, let's see how I deal with him!"

"Since this stinky boy is fine, I, an old fellow, can rest assured. I will disturb His Royal Highness to rest, and I will leave!"

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, you go slowly, if you want to write a letter, you can send it over when the army leaves, and I'll have someone send it to Mr. Ling!"

Sending away another old gentleman who inquired about his family, Zhu Zhangui wiped the sweat off his brow.

Ever since the order to increase troops was handed down, Donggong has never been idle.

Either the Duke came, or the Marquis asked for news about his son.
