I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

Hearing what Zhu Zhangui said, Yu Qingyao was relieved.

Handing over the noisy little ones to their mother one by one, Zhu Zhangui explained to Qingyao with the little one Zhu Qizhen in his hands.

"Your cousin will come back in a while, and he may often work in the capital in the future. I admire his knowledge and demeanor. I will let this little guy get closer to his uncle, so that he can get close to his uncle." An air of uprightness!"

Yu Qingyao nodded happily, and took over Zhu Qizhen who was still howling.

Ji Yun and Hu Shanxiang were also happy in their hearts.

Zhu Zhangui did not only care about the eldest son like those children of big families.

Just back to the East Palace, Zhu Zhangui rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw these little guys.

Even later, under Zhang's stare, in order to be impartial, he directly hugged all the little guys.

Dude, that's like cuddling a piggy.

"Qi Rui, do you miss grandma?"

On the other side, Mrs. Zhang put her arms around her eldest grandson, and while feeding him osmanthus cake, asked the little guy if he missed her.

The little guy had an osmanthus cake in each hand, and nodded vigorously with his mouth full.

"Woo...the kind that I think about so much that I can't even fall asleep!"

Zhu Zhangui was speechless.

I can't sleep anymore, you sleep soundly three times a day than anyone else.

"Mother, don't spoil him like this, it's easy to spoil him."

Seeing that his old lady was not willing to let go since she came back, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help it.

This is his eldest son, and his future heir can no longer be like Zhu Qizhen.

Mrs. Zhang stared.

"My grandson can be hurt as much as I want, why are you so busy, if you have nothing to do, help your father to read the booklet, let your father spare his hands, review the enlightenment book, so that he can teach Qi Rui later."

"I don't need my father to teach me, I have already found a husband for him!"

I am the founder of the new learning, the destroyer of the Confucian family, and the absolute enemy of the Confucian school.

With such a relationship between the two, it is nonsense to let his son study Confucianism!

Zhu Pangpang, who was walking in with an enlightenment book, was taken aback when he heard this, and asked curiously.

"Who do you plan to teach Qi Rui, which grand scholar in the court?"

"If that's the case, you don't need to look for it. I've already done it. In addition to teaching me personally, I also let Bachelor Yang Shiqi be Qi Rui's lecturer. I also arranged several other bachelors, so you don't need to worry too much. I'm worried."

Picking up the eldest daughter who was running around at his feet, and stuffing a candy into the little guy's mouth, Zhu Zhangui shook his head and said.

"Father, I think differently from you. I plan to let Qi Rui go to Xinxue to study as an ordinary student!"

"(⊙o⊙) what?"

"This...is this appropriate!"

Zhu Pangpang, Zhang Shi, and Zhao Ling'er all hesitated.

Although the new school has been doing well in the past two years, it is only a place to teach peasants after all, and it is only some basic knowledge, a lot of advanced literature, let alone teaching, those gentlemen may not know it.

And the new learning is also very hard. Every day before dawn, I have to go to school to study, and I have to participate in rigorous training in the afternoon.

This little grandson of my family has never endured hardship, so I'm afraid he won't be able to persist.

Looking at the distressed and reluctant three people, Zhu Zhangui said with a more serious expression.

"Not only Qi Rui, but also Qi Yu and Qizhen, when they grow up, I will also send them to Xinxue. In the future, my son and grandson will all go to Xinxue to study."

Zhu Zhangui looked at Zhu Pangpang.

"Father, when I left last year, I once said a word to Yang Shiqi and the other bachelors."

"As a person in power, you need to know what the people need, want, and want to say, and go to the people to see and ask!"

"This is the case for a minister, but it is even more so for a royal child."

"If a royal child doesn't work hard and only knows how to enjoy and have fun, then he is no different from a waste."

"I don't want these children to be like grandpa in the future, who can mount a horse and dismount to make people safe, but I don't want to be fooled by the ministers outside like a fool, making a joke of ten taels of silver."

"Father and mother, our Zhu family came from the folk, and our roots are also in the folk. The common people in the world are the biggest backing of our old Zhu family. Why don't you eat minced meat?"

"I can tell you two elders responsibly that when these words appear, it will be the day when the Ming Dynasty of our old Zhu family will perish."

"Whoa!"

The ancient book in Zhu Pangpang's hand fell to the ground.

In vain, he has read the sage books for half his life and has been a prince for more than ten years. When it comes to educating children, he is not as clear as his son who has been outside for more than ten years.

"Well said, this is the foundation of our old Zhu family. Our family has come out of the common people, we must always remember this identity, and we must not let the common people in the world down on our family."

"Once the common people in the world are disappointed with us, our family's life will be over."

Just when Zhu Pangpang and others were feeling emotional, the old man walked in from the outside with a big laugh.

Everyone stood up quickly to salute.

"Haha, no need, no need, get up!"

The old man was obviously in a good mood, smiled and waved his hands, walked up to look at the six little guys, and Sanbao who was still standing beside him with a big belly.

The boss' vein has finally blossomed.

The old man picked up the five little guys one by one and asked each one what their names were.

At the same time, every time they pick up one, they will take out a jade pendant engraved with red characters from the tray on the side of the little snot, and put it on the little guy's neck.

The old man's action made the girls very excited.

Ci Yupei is the old man's approval.

The whole generation of the Royal Zhu Zhangui and the next generation, the old man has never rewarded this kind of jade pendant.

After the 6 little guys finished dividing, the old man took out the last piece and handed it to Sanbao.

"When the child is born, take it as a shelter for the child."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sambo's excited hands trembled a little.

When the old man gave jade pendants to several sisters and children just now, she was still very envious.

In her mind, her child has foreign blood, and in this royal family that values ​​blood the most, it may not be able to receive this kind of gift.

But she didn't expect that the old man also gave her a piece in the end.

Sanbao knew in his heart that it was thanks to his father's wise choice to get this jade pendant, otherwise his child would not have such good luck.

"Father, let's talk first, I'll take them to see if the food is ready."

Seeing that several daughters-in-laws had received something, Mrs. Zhang knew that the three of them had something to say, so she left with her daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

"Little brat, I will only give one piece of this jade pendant. I won't give it to a granddaughter-in-law of a foreign race if I don't make any major contributions in the future."

After a few people left, the old man said something to Zhu Zhangui.

The old man was just reminding Zhu Zhangui to be careful when pampering other maids. He doesn't want so many great-grandchildren with messy complexions.

Zhu Zhangui rolled his eyes.

This old man really treats him as a stallion. Is he Zhu Zhangui the kind of person who shows mercy everywhere?

There are so many maids, although he has accepted dozens of them, but the only one who really has children is Sanbao.

Sanbao's younger sister has slept with her so many times, but she hasn't responded until now, isn't it just Zhu Zhangui's attention.

The three sat down, and the old man took a sip of fragrant tea and looked at Zhu Pangpang.

"Boss, tell me what's going on in the north."

When he mentioned the matter in the north, Zhu Pangpang restrained the smile on his face and replied seriously.

"Liu Sheng reported to Erchen that there is no movement in Arutai at present, and the troops are still stationed at Mount Ebula, and there is no move to go south for the time being!"

"My son estimates that he may be waiting for some reinforcements, or he may have some scruples about us in the south!"

"Hmph, of course I have scruples!"

The old man snorted disdainfully.

Alutai has not launched an attack until now, it is nothing more than scruples about the artillery on the Great Wall defense line.

After the completion of the Shenji Battalion and the naval artillery, the artillery produced by the Artisan Battalion began to be provided to various defense lines.

Several important defense points in the north have been equipped with a lot of artillery.

Important defense lines such as Datong City are equipped with many heavy artillery with extremely long ranges.

Coupled with the equipment of new gunpowder, the range of various types of artillery has nearly doubled.

With the heavy artillery fully charged, the range reached more than ten miles.

To attack this fire hedgehog's line of defense, let alone a 40 army, Arutai would not be able to break in even if it was doubled.

So the old man guessed that this old guy may have two purposes.

The first is to find the weakness of Daming's defense line, bypass those fire hedgehogs and attack the hinterland.

The second is to let the Ming army go out to fight a decisive battle with them on the grassland. Alutai relied on his strong troops to forcefully drag down the Ming army.

Of course, it is not impossible that there is another reinforcement. The old man has not guessed who it is, and Jin Yiwei is also investigating as much as possible.

Looking at the old man who was lost in thought, Zhu Pangpang hesitated and suggested.

"Why don't you wait and see if Jin Yiwei can find the herdsman's camp of the other party. Let's attack their camp again and break their morale."

What Zhu Pangpang wanted was to run another thousand miles, and then attack back and forth to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The old man shook his head.

"There are some things that cannot be repeated. This is how Mahamu was killed. It is impossible for Alutai to be unprepared."

"Besides, we did that last time because we probably figured out where the opponent's logistics camp is."

"But this time, after searching for so long, there is still no news about it. It is estimated that the old man is guarding against this."

With that said, the old man looked at Zhu Zhangui who was standing aside.

"Little brat, is there any news from your father-in-law?"

Zhu Zhangui said with some regret.

"I sent someone to ask. They sent a large number of people there, but they didn't find out. I even suspect that Alutai didn't bring the herders with him."

The old man frowned.

"Let them investigate as much as possible to see if they can find any clues. If we can't find any clues, we can think of other ways."

After explaining the investigation, the old man fell in love with Zhu Pangpang.

"How about the troops drawn from various places by the Ministry of War!"

When the old man first arrived at the border of the Ming Dynasty, he sent a 800-mile rush, and asked the Ministry of War to withdraw soldiers, horses, food and grass from all over the country to prepare for the third Northern Expedition.

The old man gave them a quantity.

60 million.

When the Ministry of War knew this number, it almost cried.

Isn't this embarrassing?

Although Daming has a large overall force, they are all defending in various places, and only about 70 can be drawn at will.

Zhang Fu, who was confronting the Timur Empire in the Asan area, left 5 troops, and Zhang Feng, who was on guard against the Wusi Zangdu Division in Yunnan, brought 6 soldiers and horses, plus more than 19 men under Zheng Heng in Myanmar. , [-] went out all of a sudden.

Together with the auxiliary soldiers of the three legions, the number of soldiers capable of fighting from the three of them alone is about 22.

This reduced 1/3 at once.

The Japanese pirates in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian attacked the coastal areas, and the Ministry of War sent 5 people to suppress the Japanese pirates, plus Shandong Wei's defense of 3 people.

Adding up the two parties, it's almost half the time.
