[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

"Master, add some clothes." It was cold in Jiangxi at the end of autumn, and Du Ruo shuddered. Feeling something in his heart, the waiter at the side hurriedly put on clothes for Du Ruo.

"How many days have we been out of the capital?" Du Ruo asked the boy, staring at the pen in his hand, and the autumn scenery outside the window that was completely different from the capital.

This man had been serving by Du Ruo's side all the time, because of his strong body and some martial arts skills, Du Ruo brought him to Jiangxi.He was also sincere, and said with a naive smile: "I really can't remember, it's been nearly a month."

Du Ruo wrapped up his clothes and stood in front of the door looking at the moon in the sky, thinking of the moon in the capital.It is the same circle and bright as this one.I just don't know if Zhu Houzhao is also watching the moonlight in the capital.Be in the same sky with yourself.What he didn't know was that Zhu Houzhao had just captured Zhu Youtang and was leading an army to hunt down the rebels in the capital.

"My lord, I'm so excited!" Du Ruo took a look, who is it if it's not Wang Shouren who is coming?

Back at the case, Du Ruo asked Wang Shouren to sit down and asked, "I don't know what you can do when your lord visits late at night?"

Admiring the sweetness of Du Ruo's tea here, Wang Shouren nodded and smiled, "It's a happy event. The scouts found the traces of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao in the Nanchang generation. If the information is true, he must be under our pressure to go back to guard Nanchang. We Tomorrow, we will send troops to Nanchang, and we will surely be able to capture them and put Ning King's rebellion here."

This is indeed a happy event, Du Ruojian said with a smile: "So, it really is a happy event." He couldn't wait to end the things here and rush back to Zhu Houzhao.In the past few days, he was always restless, always afraid that something might happen.Now that he was overwhelmed and excited by Wang Shouren's happy event, he seemed to feel much better.Just looking at Wang Shouren's hesitation to speak, Du Ruo asked in confusion, "I don't know why your lord is so distressed, but what's the problem? Do you need me to share your worries?"

Seeing that Du Ruo took the initiative to ask, Wang Shouren did not hide it, "The explosives that the Duke said are very effective. But I only saw the Duke use it when he attacked Jiujiang. I also heard that the Duke The Lord also carried a weapon called a grenade. He only attacked Nanchang once. Nanchang is the base camp of King Ning, and it is full of elites from King Ning. It is not comparable to Jiujiang. I don’t know if the Duke can also use it in Nanchang. Use things like explosives, or even use the Duke's trump card."

Hearing the ancients say these two names in a serious manner, Du Ruo suddenly felt a little funny.He also knew in his heart that these people were afraid of hiding their own personal interests, so they didn't take them out for their use.With these things, how could Prince Ning's Mansion, which has only cold weapons, be able to compete with the court.Not to mention a quick victory, but to reduce a lot of casualties of one's own side can make these people tempted.

I poured a cup of tea for myself, and the tea reverberated around the walls of the cup to stir up a scent. Du Ruo smiled absent-mindedly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, these things will definitely appear when they should appear."

Wang Shouren didn't come here for himself, but was entrusted by other generals.He dipped a sip of tea and said enviously: "My lord is indeed an elegant person. This tea is ordinary in appearance and does not show mountains or dews, but it is full of flavor and fragrance. Good tea, good tea! It is said that people should not be judged by appearances. Tea cannot be judged by its appearance."

This tea was made by Mrs. Zhang with wormwood, and even Zhu Houzhao only had a small bag, and it was Du Ruo who was willing to make a pot today, just in time for Wang Shouren to catch up.

"Just like Lord Wang said when he attacked Jiujiang City that day, this thing kills too much. It's okay to use it in the city of Jiujiang and Nanchang. If it's a small battle on weekdays, it's not appropriate to use it." Du Ruo was not prepared either. Talk about the origin of this tea, and directly explain to Wang Shouren the reason why he doesn't want to use these things. "Besides, the production of this item is limited. Your Majesty is not willing to spread this item widely for the time being. It is not easy to see it in Jiangxi. I have my own plan on how to use it, and there is no need for Mr. Wang to say more."

Wang Shouren came to Du Ruo under the pretense of being the Generalissimo of Suppressing Chaos, and when he came here to make a request, his mission was considered completed.As for the others, he consciously couldn't and didn't want to.If Du Ruo rejected him like this, he wasn't annoyed, he just sipped the tea and didn't speak by himself.

Du Ruo knew that he had a great name in history, and now he didn't have a pair of arms and two eyes longer than others, jokingly said: "I don't know what kind of person Mr. Wang thinks he will be if he leaves his name in history. Yes A capable official, or a hero who put down the rebellion of King Ning?"

Unexpectedly, Du Ruo would ask this question. Wang Shouren looked at Du Ruo carefully. He was wrapped in a white embroidered gold robe and sat in front of the desk. "Papers, Mr. Liu, the elder of the present court, compiles the collection of criminal laws and discusses martial arts. Mr. Ma and Mr. Xu are in front. I don't need to say more about these people. I can only say that I am worthy of myself in these two things. Only For one thing, I have been determined to set up a college to give lectures all my life, and it is unknown that one day I will make a name for myself with this history."

Du Ruo knew that Wang Shouren was a great thinker, but Du Ruo had never researched what his thinking was.And now that the history of Ming Dynasty has been changed beyond recognition by the two of them, it is still unknown whether Wang Shouren can become the Wang Shouren in history.

Thinking of this, Du Ruo felt a little more guilty towards him.During the conversation, there was more sincerity, and on the contrary, the conversation became more joyful.

Du Ruo did well in Jiangxi, but it was not so easy for Ma Wensheng in the northwest.Under Zhu Houzhao's supervision, Jingying's military strength has indeed soared, and it is no longer the embroidered pillows of the past, which are fancy but not useful.But even so, the harsh climate in the Northwest still made them suffer a lot for the proud sons of Beijing.

This year is another extremely cold year in Northwest China. Before the winter solstice, there have been several snowfalls in the sky.It's just that the air on the ground has not completely cooled down, and the snow has not yet reached the ground, and it is melting against the ground again. This is the most difficult thing.

Ma Wensheng led Ma Cong and followed the army step by step towards Datong, preparing to supply supplies at a fortress occupied by the imperial army.If they were slow and missed Sutou, they could only rest in the wilderness. "In this horrible weather, even if you are wearing cotton clothes, once the snow melts, the water will soak your clothes, and you won't be able to keep warm!"

Ma Wensheng looked at the gloomy clouds. The snow didn't seem to be about to stop. He stroked his beard and said calmly: "We are uncomfortable in this weather, and Xu Jin is even more uncomfortable. We should hurry up and march. We surrounded Datong a day earlier." , maybe it will be over sooner.”

At the time of Xu Jinfan, it happened that the autumn grain had not yet been put into storage, and the whole of Datong lived on the surplus grain left before.It's so cold today, it's a hard day!

"My lord said, pass on the order, speed up the march, and be sure to arrive at the place before dark. Then there will naturally be hot soup and fire to keep everyone warm." Ma Cong immediately sent the order to go.Ma Wensheng thought it was funny seeing him so obedient, and shook his head helplessly.Seeing that his father was happy, Ma Cong hummed a little song happily.

Seeing Ma Cong's current appearance, and the naughty appearance of the past, Ma Wensheng was very pleased, and secretly sighed in his heart that letting the child go for a walk can exercise the child.Ma Cong has been in the Ordnance Institute for two years, and it seems like he has completely reborn.In the palace change, he was also awarded a small title because of his meritorious service in escorting. As a father, he said he was unhappy, of course it was a lie, but he was still a little sad that the child didn't get better under the hands of his own father.

I hurried all the way, and finally arrived at this place called Yangjiabao before dark, and the snow had stopped temporarily.They had received news from Ma Wensheng and the others a long time ago. The people stationed here had prepared hot soup and hot water for them. After pouring it like this, they felt warm all over in this weather.The soldiers all took off their clothes and huddled under the blankets to keep warm.

Although Ma Wensheng was old and strong, after all, he was older, and after so many days of bumps, his bones were already loose and his flesh was loose, and his whole body was supported by strength.He was holding a hot soup bowl and soaking his feet in a basin of hot water, he was so comfortable that he almost didn't hum.From time to time, Ma Cong raised his legs to apply medicine to him.

"The emperor had the foresight to know that his father was in poor health and prepared the medicine early. If not, I really don't know what to do?" Ma Cong got the two boxes of medicine delivered by Gao Feng himself before leaving. The cans are all made of iron sheets, which are just convenient to carry on the march.

"I'm afraid this is Duke An's idea. He has been to the Northwest in winter, so he should know what it's like." Ma Wensheng looked at Ma Cong's unhappy expression, and rubbed his waist, "I know you see I'm not used to An Guogong. I think he hasn't done anything important, and he doesn't have anything to sell, so why is he so liked by the emperor?"

Being told by his father, Ma Cong stopped talking.

"You think you are a promising young man, and you are the most proud young talent in the capital, so this tail is raised?" Ma Wensheng wiped his feet twice, and said to Ma Cong: "I understand, the emperor I don’t know how many things are planned by this Duke An. It is said that the emperor has a lot of tricks, but I don’t think so. The one who can make these things come true in the future is Duke An, a young man with a weak crown. He... can’t be underestimated!”

"Since he has made the most contributions, why is he the least visible? I only see him entering the palace on weekdays, but I don't see him making any achievements. And he didn't hold any position?"

"What he does is not a prince, nor an official, but a queen. Naturally, we no longer need to judge."
