The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty
Chapter 26 (1)
After several days of continuous attack, Li Jinglong's army failed to capture a single gate, which made Li Jinglong very annoyed.In his opinion, the Beiping mansion is full of old and weak soldiers, who are not his opponents at all, but the nine gates of the Beiping mansion are impenetrable, no matter how they attack, they just cannot break through the gates.
This is not the most annoying.The most irritating thing is that Li Jinglong's army will be attacked every few nights.As I said before, Zhu Gaochi would send people to attack Li Jinglong's army, and they would set fire everywhere.Not only that, they also put on the clothes of Li Jinglong's soldiers, sow discord and let them kill each other, disturbing their peace.
These days, none of the gates of Beiping Mansion have been captured, severely defeating the spirit of Li Jinglong's army.In addition, the weather in Beiping Mansion was cold, and Li Jinglong's soldiers could not stand the cold, and they couldn't sleep well at night.In addition, they were attacked at night, which made Li Jinglong's soldiers panic.
Li Jinglong didn't have much patience. Seeing that Peiping could not be captured for a long time, he became more anxious and impatient, and wanted to capture Beiping Mansion more and more.
He also has another shortcoming, that is, he has a good face.It is a very embarrassing thing for him to think that his hundreds of thousands of troops have never succeeded in attacking Beiping Mansion without Zhu Di's elite troops.Furthermore, before he sent troops, Emperor Jianwen held a very grand farewell ceremony for him. At that time, he swore an oath in front of all civil and military officials that Zhu Di was bound to be arrested.Now let alone capture Zhu Di, even a small Beiping mansion has not been captured.
If this matter is reported back to the Nanjing court, what face will Li Jinglong have.
Li Jinglong is still self righteous.He felt that he was proficient in the art of war, and was reused by Emperor Jianwen, so he considered himself a general and refused to listen to the advice of his subordinates.
In fact, someone in Li Jinglong's army broke through Zhangyi Gate and entered the gate, but Li Jinglong didn't let them take advantage of the victory to pursue, but let them stop attacking and wait for him to come.As a result, the Beiping defenders were given a chance to make amends, and it was no longer feasible to wait for Li Jinglong to come and attack Zhangyimen again.
The people under Li Jinglong gave him a lot of ideas, many of which were actually feasible, but he didn't adopt them and just insisted on going his own way.
In the past two days, Li Jinglong personally led the troops to launch a fierce attack, but it still failed.He also nearly got hurt.
Li Jinglong cherishes his life very much, to be precise, he is very afraid of death.This time he was almost injured when he sent troops in person, so he was too scared to go out in person again and hid in the tent.
Facing the fierce attacks of Li Jinglong's army one after another, the team formed by the defenders of Beiping and the common people did not fear, and guarded the nine gates firmly.Although they let Li Jinglong's army return home in defeat, they also killed and injured many people.
At this moment, Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yan are discussing countermeasures.
"Mother, how long will it take for them to arrive?" These days, Zhu Gaochi was fighting the enemy with the defenders. He had wounds on his face and arms, but they were not serious. "Li Jinglong and the others are attacking more and more fiercely. If this continues, it really won't last long."
Princess Yan naturally knew this too: "Your father and the others will take seven or eight days at the earliest."
"Really, mother?" Zhu Gaochi looked surprised, "Father, they can really arrive in Peiping within seven or eight days?"
Princess Yan nodded slightly and said, "Almost."
"If it takes seven or eight days, we can still hold on." Zhu Gaochi's high-hanging heart can finally fall to the ground, "Mother, I will tell the news to the soldiers." The soldiers will be very happy to be able to return to Peiping.
"You can tell them." Telling Zhu Di that they are about to return to Peiping will reassure the soldiers.
"To be honest, fortunately Li Jinglong is an idiot, otherwise we might not be able to survive if it were someone else." Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yan led the soldiers to defend the city for ten days.These ten days were very difficult and dangerous for them.Zhangyi Gate had been breached before, but fortunately Li Jinglong ordered people not to take advantage of the victory to pursue them and gave them a chance to save them, otherwise Peiping might be captured soon.
"The weather in Peiping also helped us a lot."
During this period of time, many soldiers in Li Jinglong's army were frostbitten, and some were frozen to death.
"Yeah, fortunately, Beiping is cold." Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something, and said with some expectation, "It would be great if there was a heavy snowfall."
When it snowed heavily, it was even more difficult for Li Jinglong's army to attack Beiping.
When mentioning heavy snow, Zhu Gaochi thought of his son, and hurriedly asked Princess Yan, "Mother, where is Zhanji?"
"Zhanji is by Mingzhen's side, comforting the wounded soldiers." Princess Yan thought of her grandson lying in her arms crying for the wounded soldiers, and she felt distressed and relieved at the same time. "What do you want him for?"
"Ask him when it will snow?" Zhu Gaochi said that wind is rain, "Mother, I'll go to Zhanji and ask."
"I will go with you."
When Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi rushed away, Zhu Zhanji was telling stories to the wounded soldiers about what Zhu Yuanzhang had told him.
Although he was young, he had a very good memory, and his eloquence was also good, and the soldiers listened with great interest when he spoke vividly.At the same time, the blood was boiling.
Zhu Gaochi listened for a while, and found that his son was talking about his grandfather's war, "Mother, what did you tell Grandpa Zhanji?"
"No, your grandfather told him personally."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he remembered that his son could dream of his grandfather.
Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi did not interrupt Zhu Zhanji. They stood in the corner and listened to the story with the soldiers, and they were also fascinated.
After Zhu Zhanji finished telling the story, Princess Yan waved to him: "Zhanji, come to grandma."
Zhu Zhanji ran towards Princess Yan with short legs: "Grandma."
Princess Yan squatted down, hugged her little grandson, and then reached out to touch Zhu Zhanji's small face and a pair of small hands.Seeing that Zhu Zhanji's face and hands were a little cold, she lowered her head and blew hot air on her grandson's hands.
"Zhanji, grandma will take you home, okay?" Princess Yan was worried that her grandson would suffer from frostbite.
"Grandma, I'm not cold, I'm really not cold at all." Zhu Zhanji said childishly, "I won't go home, I will continue to tell stories."
There are several braziers in the room, and Zhu Zhanji has been sitting next to the braziers, not only not cold, but also a little hot.He just purposely sat a little far away from the brazier, so his face and hands were not very warm.
"Grandma, if I'm cold, I'll warm myself up." Zhu Zhanji only discovered Zhu Gaochi's existence at this time, "Daddy, why are you here?"
"Did you just see daddy?" Zhu Gaochi pinched his son's face angrily.
Of course Zhu Zhanji would not admit it, he said innocently: "Daddy, you are so fat, I think it will be hard not to see you."
Zhu Gaochi: "..." My son sometimes speaks really irritatingly.
"Zhanji, Daddy asks you, will it snow heavily recently?"
"Is it snowing heavily?" Zhu Zhanji held his right elbow with his left hand and pinched his chin with his right hand, looking thoughtful.
"Will it snow heavily?"
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, but didn't feel anything, and shook his head at his father: "I don't know." Last time, he knew it would snow, and he thought of it suddenly, but he didn't think of it this time.
Zhu Gaochi was shocked: "I don't know, why don't you know?"
"If you don't know, you don't know." Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, "If I know, I will tell you."
"Then how did you know last time?"
"Suddenly know."
"what……"
What Zhu Gaochi wanted to say was interrupted by Princess Yan, "Gao Chi, if Zhan Ji says he doesn't know, he doesn't know. It's useless for you to ask."
"Daddy, I'll tell you when I know."
Although Zhu Gaochi was a little disappointed, he soon felt relieved.
"Then Daddy is waiting for your news." Also, Zhan Ji is not a Qin Tianjian, how could he know when it will snow.
After talking to his son for a while, Zhu Gaochi went to condolences to the injured soldiers, and by the way told them that Zhu Di and the others were about to return to Peiping.
When they heard that Zhu Di was coming back soon, the wounded soldiers became very excited.
"Grandma, is grandpa coming back?"
"Well, in seven or eight days, grandpa will be back."
"Great." When grandpa comes back, he can drive away the bad guys outside the city gate.
Princess Yan hugged Zhu Zhanji and talked for a while, then left.Although Li Jinglong's army has not attacked the city for the time being, it does not mean that he will not attack again today.Both she and Zhu Gaochi had to wait at the city gate.
After Zhu Gaochi and the others left, Zhu Zhanji continued to talk about the war between his great-grandfather and his great-grandfather.
In the evening, Zhang Mingzhen took him back to Prince Yan's mansion.
Zhu Zhanji woke up as soon as he was put on the bed. He stretched out his little hand and grabbed his mother's sleeve: "Mother, grandpa is coming back, don't be afraid."
Zhang Mingzhen was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then her nose turned sour. She sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched her son's little face: "Mother is not afraid."
In fact, deep down in her heart, she was afraid that Peiping would be breached in a short time.Although she was disturbed, she didn't show it. She didn't expect her son to see it. "Zhanji, shall we sleep well?"
Zhu Zhanji said obediently, "Okay."
Zhang Mingzhen patted his chest lightly, and she didn't leave until he fell asleep completely.
In his sleep, Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, but there was one more person today.A granny I've never seen before.
Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Zhanji and introduced him: "Zhanji, this is your great-grandmother."
"This child is so beautiful." Empress Ma fell in love with Zhu Zhanji at a glance. She looked at her great-grandson lovingly, "Zhanji, I am your great-grandmother, your grandfather's mother."
Zhu Zhanji called sweetly: "Great-grandmother."
"Hey!" The "great-grandmother" call made Empress Ma very happy, "Zhanji, great-grandmother hugs you, okay?"
"Okay." Zhu Zhanji opened his hands to Empress Ma.
Empress Ma hugged Zhu Zhanji, lowered her head and rubbed his soft face.
"The child is so beautiful."
Xu Da on the side said: "It's all thanks to my daughter, otherwise your old Zhu family would not have produced such a beautiful child."
"Hey~~~ I said Tiande, can you stop giving money to your Xu family every time." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unconvinced, "Zhan Ji is also like the fourth child in my family, okay?"
Xu Da ignored Zhu Yuanzhang, and said to Empress Ma, "Sister-in-law, do you think so?"
"Yes, yes, thanks to your daughter."
Seeing that Empress Ma agreed with Xu Da's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied: "How can you speak for Tiande?"
"What I'm telling you is the truth. Your old Zhu's family has never had such a beautiful child." Empress Ma was still very objective. White. The fourth child is as black as you, but the fourth daughter-in-law is white, and Zhan Ji's child is as white as the fourth daughter-in-law."
"That's right, sister-in-law is just." Xu Da said proudly, "Without my daughter, how could your fourth son have such a white grandson?"
Seeing that his father was about to quarrel with Xu Da again, Zhu Biao stepped forward to stop him.
Empress Ma hugged Zhu Zhanji and asked him some questions with concern.
Zhu Zhanji answered very clearly one by one.
Empress Ma kept praising Zhu Zhanji for being smart, which made him a little embarrassed.
Then, Empress Ma told Zhu Zhanji about his grandfather Zhu Di's childhood.
Long before, Zhu Zhanji had heard a lot about his grandfather from Zhu Yuanzhang when he was a child. He knew that his grandfather was naughty when he was a child, but now he listened to Empress Ma, and he found that his grandfather could be more naughty.
Zhu Di was often spanked by Queen Ma when he was a child.Every time he was beaten, he pretended to be pitiful and screamed so badly that Empress Ma didn't dare to hit hard.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that it was getting late, and asked Empress Ma to tell Zhu Zhanji next time.
"Great-grandfather." Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were about to leave, Zhu Zhanji quickly stopped, and then asked, "Great-grandfather, do you know when it will snow heavily?" He thought great-grandfather and the others should know.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It will snow heavily in three days."
As soon as Zhu Zhanji woke up, he heard the faint sound of fighting coming from a distance.During this period of time, he has become accustomed to this sound.
Before dawn today, Li Jinglong's army launched a fierce attack.
From the sound coming from a distance, one can guess how fierce the battle at the city gate is.
Guessing that His Royal Highness was about to wake up, Bai Hua came over to take a look and found that Zhu Zhanji was indeed awake.
"Your Highness, you're awake." Bai Hua stepped forward to pick up Zhu Zhanji, and gently dressed him.
"Where are grandma and mother?"
"The concubine is resisting the enemy at the city gate, and the concubine is still taking care of the wounded soldiers." Bai Hua reported to Zhu Zhanji while dressing Zhu Zhanji, "At Yinshi, the enemy suddenly launched an attack. The concubine and the concubine fought hard."
"Alas..." Zhu Zhanji sighed heavily.
"Your Highness, don't worry, the princess and the prince are all fine." Bai Hua dressed Zhu Zhanji, and carried him to the next side room to freshen up.
There is a war going on outside Beiping Mansion, but Yan Wang Mansion is quiet.
Because there were not many defenders in Beiping Mansion, most of the servants of King Yan's Mansion were also called to resist Li Jinglong's army. Even Zhu Zhanji's nurses went to help, leaving only a few people to take care of King Yan's Mansion and Zhu Zhanji.
Bai Hua is the servant girl next to Princess Yan, and her status in Prince Yan's mansion is very high. Keeping her and the housekeeper in the mansion can calm down some restless people.
Zhu Zhanji ate egg porridge for breakfast, not meat porridge.Most of the meat in Yan Wang's mansion was sent to the front line for the soldiers to eat.
The soldiers didn't eat meat, so they didn't have the strength to stop Li Jinglong's army.Furthermore, wounded soldiers also needed to eat meat.If you don't eat meat, the wound will heal slowly.
Of course, there is still some meat in the Palace of King Yan.Zhu Zhanji is still young, if he does not eat meat for a long time, it will be bad for his health.
After eating porridge, Zhu Zhanji drank another bowl of goat milk.
Although he hasn't had milk for a long time, he is still too young to eat enough food, but if he drinks goat's milk, there will be no problem.
"Your Highness, there is a war going on outside, it's better for you not to go there."
"I'm not going to find my father and grandma, I'm going to find my mother." Zhu Zhanji knew the danger outside.If he went to find his father and grandma, he would only cause trouble for them.
"There are a lot of wounded soldiers, and the imperial concubine and the others are too busy to take care of you." Bai Hua squatted in front of Zhu Zhanji and said in a conferring tone, "Your Highness, it's a mess outside now. If you bump into me, I will hurt you." caught, what should I do?"
"The more this is the time, the more I want to go." Zhu Zhanji pulled Bai Hua's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Sister Bai Hua, you can take me there. I will continue to tell everyone the story of my great-grandfather. I love hearing my stories."
No one can stop Zhu Zhanji from acting like a baby, and Bai Hua also knows that she can't stop Zhu Zhanji.
"The servant will take you there."
As soon as he walked out of King Yan's mansion, Zhu Zhanji smelled blood in the air.
The sound of fighting, roaring, and screams came from the city gate.Bai Hua hurriedly covered Zhu Zhanji's ears, and led him to find Zhang Mingzhen.
When Zhu Zhanji arrived, he found that more people were injured.It seems that the battle situation this morning is very intense.
Many wounded soldiers left in a hurry as soon as their wounds were wrapped, and continued to kill the enemy on the city wall.
As long as they are not in a coma or amputated, the soldiers will continue to kill the enemy.
The wounded soldiers in the room looked very painful, but their eyes were firm, without any fear or flinch.
Zhu Zhanji didn't bother Zhang Mingzhen and the others, he obediently cared for the seriously injured soldiers.
Some of these soldiers are old people.They feel that they are very useful and can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.In fact, they went to war when they were young.
Zhu Zhanji looked at these soldiers with broken arms and legs, his eyes became red and tears filled his eyes, but he tried not to cry.
He knew that if he cried, everyone would be worried.He sniffed and comforted the soldiers one by one.
The soldiers liked Zhu Zhanji very much, and they would be shocked when they saw him.They also like listening to His Highness tell stories very much.
Of course, His Highness's storytelling was not as good as Mr. Storyteller's, but they felt very cute when they heard His Highness's milky voice and saw his lively and rich expressions.For a while, they will forget the pain of the wound on their body.In the words of later generations, they were healed by the cute Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji knew that he was too young to help.Seeing that everyone likes to see him and listen to his stories, he comes every day to play his role as a mascot.
The sounds of fighting outside continued, with no tendency to stop.
Today, the attack launched by Li Jinglong's army is more violent than ever before.It seems that Li Jinglong and the others are impatient.
Li Jinglong received the news that Zhu Di was on his way back to Beiping.He wanted to capture Beiping Mansion before Zhu Di arrived in Peiping, and then concentrate on attacking Zhu Di.
Although the offensive of Li Jinglong's army was very fierce, Zhu Gaochi and the others resisted to the death without any timidity, and withstood wave after wave of enemy attacks.
Li Jinglong personally commanded today, but he didn't expect that their fierce attack still failed to break through the city, which made him very angry.
It wasn't until night that the fighting outside ended.
Both Concubine Yan and Zhu Gaochi were injured, but fortunately, they were only injured on the skin, not their bones.
In today's battle, Zhu Gaochi and the others suffered heavy casualties, but Li Jinglong's army was even more seriously injured.It is no exaggeration to say that his vitality was greatly injured.
During this period of time, Zhu Gaochi and Li Jinglong's army did not fight every day, but fought and stopped, and they were always in a stalemate.
Launching the strongest offensive in history today, not only failed to break through a city gate, but also suffered heavy losses. This hit Li Jinglong a little bit, and it hit the soldiers even more.
The barracks of Li Jinglong's army was filled with a decadent atmosphere.Even if Li Jinglong wanted to continue attacking Beiping Mansion, the soldiers would not be willing, and they would still lose.
In the next two days, Li Jinglong decided to recuperate and not continue to attack Beiping Mansion.
In Beiping City, Zhu Zhanji cried so much.
Princess Yan hugged her little grandson, patted his back lightly, and comforted him softly: "Grandma doesn't hurt, Zhanji won't cry."
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on grandma" said Zhu Zhanji crying with tears all over his face, "It must be very painful."
Princess Yan's left arm was cut by the enemy with a long and deep wound.When she came over, the entire left arm was dyed red.If Zhu Zhanji hadn't noticed that she was injured, she would not have noticed it herself.
"It doesn't hurt, grandma really doesn't hurt at all." Princess Yan stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on Zhu Zhanji's face, and comforted him, "Grandma is an adult, so she doesn't feel pain." Princess Yan ignored this pain . "Zhanji, if you cry again, grandma will feel pain."
Zhu Zhanji was sobbing and choking. Hearing what Princess Yan said, he sniffed and didn't dare to cry anymore.
"Zhanji, if you kiss grandma, grandma won't hurt."
Zhu Zhanji stretched out a pair of chubby hands to hold Princess Yan's face, and kissed her hard, and the kissed Princess Yan beamed with joy.
"Grandma doesn't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt at all."
"Zhan Ji, Daddy hurts, you are about to kiss Daddy." Zhu Gaochi was slashed on the shoulder, and the injury was a little serious.
This time, Zhu Zhanji didn't dislike his father's unclean face, and even kissed his father more than a dozen times.
Being kissed by his son, Zhu Gaochi smiled until his eyes narrowed.
"Our Zhanji is really good, and Daddy doesn't feel any pain at all."
"Daddy, if you hurt, I'll kiss you again."
"Good good."
Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Daddy, it will snow in two days." In his dream last night, his great-grandfather said that it would snow in three days.He said today, that is two days later.
"Really?" Zhu Gaochi asked, "Zhan Ji, how did you know?" When I asked the child yesterday when it would snow, he said he didn't know.Today it said it will snow in two days.
"Great-grandfather told me."
"Zhanji, did you dream about your great-grandfather last night?"
"Yes, I also dreamed about my great-grandmother." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "Great-grandmother likes me so much."
Zhu Zhanji chirped with Princess Yan and the others about what he had dreamed last night.Princess Yan's eyes turned slightly red after hearing this.
"Zhanji, how is great-grandmother?"
"Great-grandmother is fine."
"That's good." Princess Yan respected Empress Ma very much.When Empress Ma died of illness in the army, Zhu Di and Princess Yan were very sad.
Over the years, they have never dreamed of Queen Ma once.Now, knowing that Empress Ma also entrusted Zhu Zhanji with a dream, Princess Yan is very excited.
Zhu Zhanji talked with Princess Yan and the others for a while, and then continued to comfort the injured soldiers.
"Mother, Zhanji actually dreamed of his grandmother, this..." Zhu Gaochi's expression was very shocked, "Grandpa, grandmother, grandfather and uncle all appeared in Zhanji's dream, what is going on?"
"Good thing." Princess Yan didn't know exactly what was going on.
"Mother, do you think Zhanji will dream of other people in the future?"
"It should be." Princess Yan didn't say anything more about it, "Zhanji said that it will snow in two days, so you go and prepare."
"I really hope that there will be a heavy snowfall to send Li Jinglong and the others away." Zhu Gaochi had just stood up when he accidentally injured his shoulder, and the pain caused him to gasp involuntarily. "Mom, I'm going to get busy first."
"Go." Regardless of whether the snow in two days' time is light or heavy, it has done them a big favor.
The common people breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that it would snow in two days.
In the morning two days later, Li Jinglong was about to launch an attack again, but it snowed early in the morning.The snow fell harder and harder, covering the ground in no time.
With such a heavy snowfall suddenly, it is of course not easy to attack Peiping again.
Li Jinglong and the others didn't pay attention to the snow at first, thinking that it would stop the next day, but it turned out that the snow fell for three consecutive days and three nights, and it fell very heavily.
They had never seen such heavy snow in Nanjing, so they naturally didn't know how to take precautions.Many of their barracks tents were collapsed by the snow.Also, they didn't prepare enough firewood in advance.
This heavy snow made the weather in Beiping much colder.Without enough firewood and charcoal, and without enough clothes to withstand the severe cold weather, many of Li Jinglong's soldiers suffered from frostbite, and some died directly.
There is a saying that you will die while you are sick.Zhu Gaochi still sent people to attack Li Jinglong's army every night, making them restless.
In the past few days, Li Jinglong's army has been distracted, and deserters have also appeared.
It was so cold that the soldiers couldn't bear it.
Li Jinglong couldn't take it anymore.Seeing that the snow in Peiping did not stop, he decided to evacuate Peiping first.Wait for the weather to clear, and then return to continue the attack.
His decision was supported by everyone.The soldiers didn't want to stay in Beiping, a ghostly place.
Within two days, Li Jinglong's army withdrew from Peiping.
As soon as they left Peiping, they met Zhu Di who had rushed back from Daning.
This heavy snow really sent away Li Jinglong's army directly, which Zhu Gaochi and the others did not expect.
Although Zhu Gaochi said before that he hoped to send Xue Xue away from Li Jinglong's army, he knew that this was unlikely.Unexpectedly, God was on their side and let them get what they wanted.
Because of this heavy snowfall, Zhu Zhanji's status in the eyes of the people in Beiping Mansion has been elevated a lot.Originally, in the hearts of the people in Beiping Mansion, he was a god who came down to earth, but now the people believe and believe that he is a "little god".
Zhu Zhanji, who was regarded as a "little fairy", was numb.He kept emphasizing that he did not summon the heavy snow, nor did he let the sky fall, but the common people just didn't believe it, and agreed that he made the snow fall.
Being regarded as a god is not a matter of a day or two, and Zhu Zhanji is too lazy to correct the thoughts of the common people.Even if he corrected it, the common people would not believe it.However, he couldn't accept that the common people worshiped him as a god.
Although it can't change the common people's point of view that he regards him as a god, fortunately, the common people listened to his words and did not blatantly worship him as a god.As for the fact that the common people secretly hung his portrait at home to worship, he could only pretend that he didn't know.
Although Li Jinglong's army withdrew, Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi were worried that Li Jinglong would play tricks, so they still maintained a high degree of martial law as before.
The guards and common people of Beiping Mansion believed in the words of Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi very much, and they did not get carried away because of the withdrawal of Li Jinglong's army and relaxed their guard.
In the past few days, Zhu Gaochi still inspected the nine gates every day as before, eating and living with the guards, not daring to take it lightly.
Princess Yan returned to the palace.She called all the injured people to Yanwang Mansion to recuperate.
The Palace of King Yan was the palace of the Yuan Dynasty, which was very large and could accommodate wounded soldiers.
These wounded soldiers will not only receive meticulous care from the Yan Palace, but also be rewarded by the Yan Palace.
Princess Yan once said in front of all the people in Beiping Mansion that anyone who participated in resisting the enemy would be rewarded.This reward will not only reward money, but also land, and even increase officials and ranks.
When Zhu Di comes back, rewards will be given fairly and justly, and no one will be missed.This is also the reason why the people of Beiping Prefecture vowed to resist Li Jinglong's army to the death.
Back at King Yan's mansion, Princess Yan followed Zhang Mingzhen and the others to take care of the wounded soldiers, which moved the soldiers very much.
Zhu Zhanji still played his role as a mascot as before, and continued to tell stories to the wounded soldiers.
The wounded soldiers can now listen to the story with peace of mind, without worrying about the battle outside.They also tell stories, tell jokes, or sing songs for His Royal Highness.The atmosphere is very relaxed and warm.
In the past few days, Zhu Zhanji has gained a lot of knowledge and opened his eyes.He loves hearing the stories everyone tells.In fact, these stories are all things that happened in reality.After listening to it, he was deeply touched.
Zhu Gaochi received a letter from Zhu Di not long ago, and ran all the way to the backyard to find Princess Yan.
"Mom, Dad has a letter."
"What did your father say?"
"Father is back, and met Li Jinglong's army on the road..." Zhu Gaochi said out of breath, "Father and the others have defeated Li Jinglong's army, and Peking Mansion is completely safe this time... Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ..." He hurriedly took out the letter from his pocket and gave it to Princess Yan.
Princess Yan hurriedly opened the letter.In the letter, Zhu Di briefly described how they encountered and defeated Li Jinglong's army.
"It's great, it's really great." Although Li Jinglong's army had evacuated the Beiping Mansion a few days ago, Princess Yan was worried that Li Jinglong would come back, so she couldn't rest assured.Now knowing that Li Jinglong will not return to attack Beiping again, her heart that has been hanging high can finally land with peace of mind.
"Mother, Dad probably won't be able to return to Peiping until some time..." Zhu Gaochi hadn't recovered yet, still panting heavily.
"Gao Chi, your father hasn't come back yet, and the martial law in Peking cannot be relaxed." Although Li Jinglong will not return to Peking for the time being, he still has to take precautions just in case. "After your father comes back, you have to continue to inspect."
Zhu Gaochi nodded seriously and said: "Mother, don't worry, I will continue to patrol, but can the guards and the people rest?"
"Take turns to rest, let the injured take a good rest first." Many slightly injured people did not recuperate in Yanwang Mansion, but continued to guard the city gate.
"Okay, I will arrange for everyone to take turns to rest."
"Gao Chi, you must double-check the injured, the dead, and those who have done meritorious deeds. You must not miss anyone, you know?" Princess Yan had repeatedly told Zhu Gaochi about this matter.Now that Zhu Di was coming back soon, she told her again. "When your father comes back, you give him the roster and let him reward you for his merits."
"Mother, don't worry, I've been watching this matter all the time, and I will never miss anyone." If there were no ordinary people to defend Beiping mansion with them this time, I'm afraid Li Jinglong's army would have broken through Beiping long ago. "By the way, mother, the master came to me just now and said that he would do a ritual ceremony for the sacrificed people to save them."
"Master is still thoughtful." Princess Yan didn't think about it for the time being, "However, this matter has to wait for your father to come back, understand?"
Zhu Gaochi understood what Princess Yan meant, nodded and said, "Mother, before father comes back, we still have to properly bury the sacrificed person. We will do things after father comes back."
"You're right, you discuss the burial with the master." Yan Wangfei said, "After the discussion, you can do it later." The burial ceremony is most suitable for the eldest son Zhu Gaochi. "Whatever you need at that time, you can get it directly from the mansion."
"Okay." When fighting against Li Jinglong's army, many people were sacrificed. "Mother, I will visit the families of those who died one by one, and thank their families for their contributions to Beiping Mansion."
"Take Zhanji with you." For the people of Beiping Mansion, the little Highness's visit to their home would bring good fortune or auspiciousness to their home.
Zhu Gaochi understood the purpose of Princess Yan's arrangement: "After I discuss the burial with Master, I will bring Zhanji's family to visit."
Princess Yan nodded lightly: "That's it."
"Mom, do you have any orders?"
Princess Yan thought about it seriously, then shook her head at Zhu Gaochi: "No more, go get busy."
"Mother, then I'll go first." Zhu Gaochi hurried back to the house, and left in a hurry.He went directly to Qingshou Temple to find Daoyan to discuss the burial.Of course, he did not forget to send someone to inform the common people that Zhu Di defeated Li Jinglong's army on the way back to Beiping.
During this period of time, the situation in Beiping Mansion was very dangerous, and the common people were in fear every day.Now, the common people are of course very happy to learn that Beiping Mansion is safe again.The entire Beiping Mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere, even more lively and joyful than during the Chinese New Year.
"Mother, I was wondering if I should copy Buddhist scriptures for the sacrificed person?" Zhang Mingzhen suggested, "This is also our intention."
Princess Yan thought this proposal was very good, and praised Zhang Mingzhen, saying: "You are still careful, our family copied Buddhist scriptures for the sacrificed."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the other two daughters-in-law, "Do you have any objections?"
Webster hurriedly said, "Mother, of course we have no objection."
Xu also echoed: "Mother, this is what we should do."
In the past, they would never have copied Buddhist scriptures for the people, but during this time, they felt the people's desire to protect Beiping Mansion.At the same time, they knew in their hearts that without the help of the common people this time, it would be impossible to defend Beiping just by relying on the guards.If they can't keep Beiping, they will become prisoners if they don't die.To the common people, they are grateful.
"Copying Buddhist scriptures requires sincerity." Yan Wangfei said with a serious face, "Buddhist scriptures copied out of sincerity are not only useless, but will cause bad things. If you don't have this heart, there is no need to force yourself to copy."
"Mother, don't worry, we will be very sincere."
Seeing that the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law understood, Princess Yan didn't say anything more.
"Bath and fast for three days, and then copy Buddhist scriptures after three days."
"Yes, mother."
Princess Yan explained some things to Zhang Mingzhen and the others, and then went to Zhu Zhanji.
"Zhanji, grandma has something to discuss with you."
"Grandma, tell me."
"In a few days, you and your father will go together to comfort and thank those who sacrificed for Peking, okay?"
Zhu Zhanji said without thinking, "Okay."
Princess Yan reached out her hand to touch her grandson's little face, and said lovingly, "We Zhanji are so good."
"Grandma, are you just comforting and thanking them, don't you want to compensate them?" Zhu Zhanji said very seriously, "They are heroes, and we should compensate their families."
Princess Yan was shocked by her grandson's words, and then she was very relieved, "You are right, they are heroes, of course we have to compensate their families, but we have to wait for your grandfather
This is not the most annoying.The most irritating thing is that Li Jinglong's army will be attacked every few nights.As I said before, Zhu Gaochi would send people to attack Li Jinglong's army, and they would set fire everywhere.Not only that, they also put on the clothes of Li Jinglong's soldiers, sow discord and let them kill each other, disturbing their peace.
These days, none of the gates of Beiping Mansion have been captured, severely defeating the spirit of Li Jinglong's army.In addition, the weather in Beiping Mansion was cold, and Li Jinglong's soldiers could not stand the cold, and they couldn't sleep well at night.In addition, they were attacked at night, which made Li Jinglong's soldiers panic.
Li Jinglong didn't have much patience. Seeing that Peiping could not be captured for a long time, he became more anxious and impatient, and wanted to capture Beiping Mansion more and more.
He also has another shortcoming, that is, he has a good face.It is a very embarrassing thing for him to think that his hundreds of thousands of troops have never succeeded in attacking Beiping Mansion without Zhu Di's elite troops.Furthermore, before he sent troops, Emperor Jianwen held a very grand farewell ceremony for him. At that time, he swore an oath in front of all civil and military officials that Zhu Di was bound to be arrested.Now let alone capture Zhu Di, even a small Beiping mansion has not been captured.
If this matter is reported back to the Nanjing court, what face will Li Jinglong have.
Li Jinglong is still self righteous.He felt that he was proficient in the art of war, and was reused by Emperor Jianwen, so he considered himself a general and refused to listen to the advice of his subordinates.
In fact, someone in Li Jinglong's army broke through Zhangyi Gate and entered the gate, but Li Jinglong didn't let them take advantage of the victory to pursue, but let them stop attacking and wait for him to come.As a result, the Beiping defenders were given a chance to make amends, and it was no longer feasible to wait for Li Jinglong to come and attack Zhangyimen again.
The people under Li Jinglong gave him a lot of ideas, many of which were actually feasible, but he didn't adopt them and just insisted on going his own way.
In the past two days, Li Jinglong personally led the troops to launch a fierce attack, but it still failed.He also nearly got hurt.
Li Jinglong cherishes his life very much, to be precise, he is very afraid of death.This time he was almost injured when he sent troops in person, so he was too scared to go out in person again and hid in the tent.
Facing the fierce attacks of Li Jinglong's army one after another, the team formed by the defenders of Beiping and the common people did not fear, and guarded the nine gates firmly.Although they let Li Jinglong's army return home in defeat, they also killed and injured many people.
At this moment, Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yan are discussing countermeasures.
"Mother, how long will it take for them to arrive?" These days, Zhu Gaochi was fighting the enemy with the defenders. He had wounds on his face and arms, but they were not serious. "Li Jinglong and the others are attacking more and more fiercely. If this continues, it really won't last long."
Princess Yan naturally knew this too: "Your father and the others will take seven or eight days at the earliest."
"Really, mother?" Zhu Gaochi looked surprised, "Father, they can really arrive in Peiping within seven or eight days?"
Princess Yan nodded slightly and said, "Almost."
"If it takes seven or eight days, we can still hold on." Zhu Gaochi's high-hanging heart can finally fall to the ground, "Mother, I will tell the news to the soldiers." The soldiers will be very happy to be able to return to Peiping.
"You can tell them." Telling Zhu Di that they are about to return to Peiping will reassure the soldiers.
"To be honest, fortunately Li Jinglong is an idiot, otherwise we might not be able to survive if it were someone else." Zhu Gaochi and Princess Yan led the soldiers to defend the city for ten days.These ten days were very difficult and dangerous for them.Zhangyi Gate had been breached before, but fortunately Li Jinglong ordered people not to take advantage of the victory to pursue them and gave them a chance to save them, otherwise Peiping might be captured soon.
"The weather in Peiping also helped us a lot."
During this period of time, many soldiers in Li Jinglong's army were frostbitten, and some were frozen to death.
"Yeah, fortunately, Beiping is cold." Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of something, and said with some expectation, "It would be great if there was a heavy snowfall."
When it snowed heavily, it was even more difficult for Li Jinglong's army to attack Beiping.
When mentioning heavy snow, Zhu Gaochi thought of his son, and hurriedly asked Princess Yan, "Mother, where is Zhanji?"
"Zhanji is by Mingzhen's side, comforting the wounded soldiers." Princess Yan thought of her grandson lying in her arms crying for the wounded soldiers, and she felt distressed and relieved at the same time. "What do you want him for?"
"Ask him when it will snow?" Zhu Gaochi said that wind is rain, "Mother, I'll go to Zhanji and ask."
"I will go with you."
When Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi rushed away, Zhu Zhanji was telling stories to the wounded soldiers about what Zhu Yuanzhang had told him.
Although he was young, he had a very good memory, and his eloquence was also good, and the soldiers listened with great interest when he spoke vividly.At the same time, the blood was boiling.
Zhu Gaochi listened for a while, and found that his son was talking about his grandfather's war, "Mother, what did you tell Grandpa Zhanji?"
"No, your grandfather told him personally."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he remembered that his son could dream of his grandfather.
Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi did not interrupt Zhu Zhanji. They stood in the corner and listened to the story with the soldiers, and they were also fascinated.
After Zhu Zhanji finished telling the story, Princess Yan waved to him: "Zhanji, come to grandma."
Zhu Zhanji ran towards Princess Yan with short legs: "Grandma."
Princess Yan squatted down, hugged her little grandson, and then reached out to touch Zhu Zhanji's small face and a pair of small hands.Seeing that Zhu Zhanji's face and hands were a little cold, she lowered her head and blew hot air on her grandson's hands.
"Zhanji, grandma will take you home, okay?" Princess Yan was worried that her grandson would suffer from frostbite.
"Grandma, I'm not cold, I'm really not cold at all." Zhu Zhanji said childishly, "I won't go home, I will continue to tell stories."
There are several braziers in the room, and Zhu Zhanji has been sitting next to the braziers, not only not cold, but also a little hot.He just purposely sat a little far away from the brazier, so his face and hands were not very warm.
"Grandma, if I'm cold, I'll warm myself up." Zhu Zhanji only discovered Zhu Gaochi's existence at this time, "Daddy, why are you here?"
"Did you just see daddy?" Zhu Gaochi pinched his son's face angrily.
Of course Zhu Zhanji would not admit it, he said innocently: "Daddy, you are so fat, I think it will be hard not to see you."
Zhu Gaochi: "..." My son sometimes speaks really irritatingly.
"Zhanji, Daddy asks you, will it snow heavily recently?"
"Is it snowing heavily?" Zhu Zhanji held his right elbow with his left hand and pinched his chin with his right hand, looking thoughtful.
"Will it snow heavily?"
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, but didn't feel anything, and shook his head at his father: "I don't know." Last time, he knew it would snow, and he thought of it suddenly, but he didn't think of it this time.
Zhu Gaochi was shocked: "I don't know, why don't you know?"
"If you don't know, you don't know." Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, "If I know, I will tell you."
"Then how did you know last time?"
"Suddenly know."
"what……"
What Zhu Gaochi wanted to say was interrupted by Princess Yan, "Gao Chi, if Zhan Ji says he doesn't know, he doesn't know. It's useless for you to ask."
"Daddy, I'll tell you when I know."
Although Zhu Gaochi was a little disappointed, he soon felt relieved.
"Then Daddy is waiting for your news." Also, Zhan Ji is not a Qin Tianjian, how could he know when it will snow.
After talking to his son for a while, Zhu Gaochi went to condolences to the injured soldiers, and by the way told them that Zhu Di and the others were about to return to Peiping.
When they heard that Zhu Di was coming back soon, the wounded soldiers became very excited.
"Grandma, is grandpa coming back?"
"Well, in seven or eight days, grandpa will be back."
"Great." When grandpa comes back, he can drive away the bad guys outside the city gate.
Princess Yan hugged Zhu Zhanji and talked for a while, then left.Although Li Jinglong's army has not attacked the city for the time being, it does not mean that he will not attack again today.Both she and Zhu Gaochi had to wait at the city gate.
After Zhu Gaochi and the others left, Zhu Zhanji continued to talk about the war between his great-grandfather and his great-grandfather.
In the evening, Zhang Mingzhen took him back to Prince Yan's mansion.
Zhu Zhanji woke up as soon as he was put on the bed. He stretched out his little hand and grabbed his mother's sleeve: "Mother, grandpa is coming back, don't be afraid."
Zhang Mingzhen was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then her nose turned sour. She sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched her son's little face: "Mother is not afraid."
In fact, deep down in her heart, she was afraid that Peiping would be breached in a short time.Although she was disturbed, she didn't show it. She didn't expect her son to see it. "Zhanji, shall we sleep well?"
Zhu Zhanji said obediently, "Okay."
Zhang Mingzhen patted his chest lightly, and she didn't leave until he fell asleep completely.
In his sleep, Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, but there was one more person today.A granny I've never seen before.
Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Zhanji and introduced him: "Zhanji, this is your great-grandmother."
"This child is so beautiful." Empress Ma fell in love with Zhu Zhanji at a glance. She looked at her great-grandson lovingly, "Zhanji, I am your great-grandmother, your grandfather's mother."
Zhu Zhanji called sweetly: "Great-grandmother."
"Hey!" The "great-grandmother" call made Empress Ma very happy, "Zhanji, great-grandmother hugs you, okay?"
"Okay." Zhu Zhanji opened his hands to Empress Ma.
Empress Ma hugged Zhu Zhanji, lowered her head and rubbed his soft face.
"The child is so beautiful."
Xu Da on the side said: "It's all thanks to my daughter, otherwise your old Zhu family would not have produced such a beautiful child."
"Hey~~~ I said Tiande, can you stop giving money to your Xu family every time." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unconvinced, "Zhan Ji is also like the fourth child in my family, okay?"
Xu Da ignored Zhu Yuanzhang, and said to Empress Ma, "Sister-in-law, do you think so?"
"Yes, yes, thanks to your daughter."
Seeing that Empress Ma agreed with Xu Da's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied: "How can you speak for Tiande?"
"What I'm telling you is the truth. Your old Zhu's family has never had such a beautiful child." Empress Ma was still very objective. White. The fourth child is as black as you, but the fourth daughter-in-law is white, and Zhan Ji's child is as white as the fourth daughter-in-law."
"That's right, sister-in-law is just." Xu Da said proudly, "Without my daughter, how could your fourth son have such a white grandson?"
Seeing that his father was about to quarrel with Xu Da again, Zhu Biao stepped forward to stop him.
Empress Ma hugged Zhu Zhanji and asked him some questions with concern.
Zhu Zhanji answered very clearly one by one.
Empress Ma kept praising Zhu Zhanji for being smart, which made him a little embarrassed.
Then, Empress Ma told Zhu Zhanji about his grandfather Zhu Di's childhood.
Long before, Zhu Zhanji had heard a lot about his grandfather from Zhu Yuanzhang when he was a child. He knew that his grandfather was naughty when he was a child, but now he listened to Empress Ma, and he found that his grandfather could be more naughty.
Zhu Di was often spanked by Queen Ma when he was a child.Every time he was beaten, he pretended to be pitiful and screamed so badly that Empress Ma didn't dare to hit hard.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that it was getting late, and asked Empress Ma to tell Zhu Zhanji next time.
"Great-grandfather." Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were about to leave, Zhu Zhanji quickly stopped, and then asked, "Great-grandfather, do you know when it will snow heavily?" He thought great-grandfather and the others should know.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It will snow heavily in three days."
As soon as Zhu Zhanji woke up, he heard the faint sound of fighting coming from a distance.During this period of time, he has become accustomed to this sound.
Before dawn today, Li Jinglong's army launched a fierce attack.
From the sound coming from a distance, one can guess how fierce the battle at the city gate is.
Guessing that His Royal Highness was about to wake up, Bai Hua came over to take a look and found that Zhu Zhanji was indeed awake.
"Your Highness, you're awake." Bai Hua stepped forward to pick up Zhu Zhanji, and gently dressed him.
"Where are grandma and mother?"
"The concubine is resisting the enemy at the city gate, and the concubine is still taking care of the wounded soldiers." Bai Hua reported to Zhu Zhanji while dressing Zhu Zhanji, "At Yinshi, the enemy suddenly launched an attack. The concubine and the concubine fought hard."
"Alas..." Zhu Zhanji sighed heavily.
"Your Highness, don't worry, the princess and the prince are all fine." Bai Hua dressed Zhu Zhanji, and carried him to the next side room to freshen up.
There is a war going on outside Beiping Mansion, but Yan Wang Mansion is quiet.
Because there were not many defenders in Beiping Mansion, most of the servants of King Yan's Mansion were also called to resist Li Jinglong's army. Even Zhu Zhanji's nurses went to help, leaving only a few people to take care of King Yan's Mansion and Zhu Zhanji.
Bai Hua is the servant girl next to Princess Yan, and her status in Prince Yan's mansion is very high. Keeping her and the housekeeper in the mansion can calm down some restless people.
Zhu Zhanji ate egg porridge for breakfast, not meat porridge.Most of the meat in Yan Wang's mansion was sent to the front line for the soldiers to eat.
The soldiers didn't eat meat, so they didn't have the strength to stop Li Jinglong's army.Furthermore, wounded soldiers also needed to eat meat.If you don't eat meat, the wound will heal slowly.
Of course, there is still some meat in the Palace of King Yan.Zhu Zhanji is still young, if he does not eat meat for a long time, it will be bad for his health.
After eating porridge, Zhu Zhanji drank another bowl of goat milk.
Although he hasn't had milk for a long time, he is still too young to eat enough food, but if he drinks goat's milk, there will be no problem.
"Your Highness, there is a war going on outside, it's better for you not to go there."
"I'm not going to find my father and grandma, I'm going to find my mother." Zhu Zhanji knew the danger outside.If he went to find his father and grandma, he would only cause trouble for them.
"There are a lot of wounded soldiers, and the imperial concubine and the others are too busy to take care of you." Bai Hua squatted in front of Zhu Zhanji and said in a conferring tone, "Your Highness, it's a mess outside now. If you bump into me, I will hurt you." caught, what should I do?"
"The more this is the time, the more I want to go." Zhu Zhanji pulled Bai Hua's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Sister Bai Hua, you can take me there. I will continue to tell everyone the story of my great-grandfather. I love hearing my stories."
No one can stop Zhu Zhanji from acting like a baby, and Bai Hua also knows that she can't stop Zhu Zhanji.
"The servant will take you there."
As soon as he walked out of King Yan's mansion, Zhu Zhanji smelled blood in the air.
The sound of fighting, roaring, and screams came from the city gate.Bai Hua hurriedly covered Zhu Zhanji's ears, and led him to find Zhang Mingzhen.
When Zhu Zhanji arrived, he found that more people were injured.It seems that the battle situation this morning is very intense.
Many wounded soldiers left in a hurry as soon as their wounds were wrapped, and continued to kill the enemy on the city wall.
As long as they are not in a coma or amputated, the soldiers will continue to kill the enemy.
The wounded soldiers in the room looked very painful, but their eyes were firm, without any fear or flinch.
Zhu Zhanji didn't bother Zhang Mingzhen and the others, he obediently cared for the seriously injured soldiers.
Some of these soldiers are old people.They feel that they are very useful and can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.In fact, they went to war when they were young.
Zhu Zhanji looked at these soldiers with broken arms and legs, his eyes became red and tears filled his eyes, but he tried not to cry.
He knew that if he cried, everyone would be worried.He sniffed and comforted the soldiers one by one.
The soldiers liked Zhu Zhanji very much, and they would be shocked when they saw him.They also like listening to His Highness tell stories very much.
Of course, His Highness's storytelling was not as good as Mr. Storyteller's, but they felt very cute when they heard His Highness's milky voice and saw his lively and rich expressions.For a while, they will forget the pain of the wound on their body.In the words of later generations, they were healed by the cute Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji knew that he was too young to help.Seeing that everyone likes to see him and listen to his stories, he comes every day to play his role as a mascot.
The sounds of fighting outside continued, with no tendency to stop.
Today, the attack launched by Li Jinglong's army is more violent than ever before.It seems that Li Jinglong and the others are impatient.
Li Jinglong received the news that Zhu Di was on his way back to Beiping.He wanted to capture Beiping Mansion before Zhu Di arrived in Peiping, and then concentrate on attacking Zhu Di.
Although the offensive of Li Jinglong's army was very fierce, Zhu Gaochi and the others resisted to the death without any timidity, and withstood wave after wave of enemy attacks.
Li Jinglong personally commanded today, but he didn't expect that their fierce attack still failed to break through the city, which made him very angry.
It wasn't until night that the fighting outside ended.
Both Concubine Yan and Zhu Gaochi were injured, but fortunately, they were only injured on the skin, not their bones.
In today's battle, Zhu Gaochi and the others suffered heavy casualties, but Li Jinglong's army was even more seriously injured.It is no exaggeration to say that his vitality was greatly injured.
During this period of time, Zhu Gaochi and Li Jinglong's army did not fight every day, but fought and stopped, and they were always in a stalemate.
Launching the strongest offensive in history today, not only failed to break through a city gate, but also suffered heavy losses. This hit Li Jinglong a little bit, and it hit the soldiers even more.
The barracks of Li Jinglong's army was filled with a decadent atmosphere.Even if Li Jinglong wanted to continue attacking Beiping Mansion, the soldiers would not be willing, and they would still lose.
In the next two days, Li Jinglong decided to recuperate and not continue to attack Beiping Mansion.
In Beiping City, Zhu Zhanji cried so much.
Princess Yan hugged her little grandson, patted his back lightly, and comforted him softly: "Grandma doesn't hurt, Zhanji won't cry."
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on grandma" said Zhu Zhanji crying with tears all over his face, "It must be very painful."
Princess Yan's left arm was cut by the enemy with a long and deep wound.When she came over, the entire left arm was dyed red.If Zhu Zhanji hadn't noticed that she was injured, she would not have noticed it herself.
"It doesn't hurt, grandma really doesn't hurt at all." Princess Yan stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on Zhu Zhanji's face, and comforted him, "Grandma is an adult, so she doesn't feel pain." Princess Yan ignored this pain . "Zhanji, if you cry again, grandma will feel pain."
Zhu Zhanji was sobbing and choking. Hearing what Princess Yan said, he sniffed and didn't dare to cry anymore.
"Zhanji, if you kiss grandma, grandma won't hurt."
Zhu Zhanji stretched out a pair of chubby hands to hold Princess Yan's face, and kissed her hard, and the kissed Princess Yan beamed with joy.
"Grandma doesn't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt at all."
"Zhan Ji, Daddy hurts, you are about to kiss Daddy." Zhu Gaochi was slashed on the shoulder, and the injury was a little serious.
This time, Zhu Zhanji didn't dislike his father's unclean face, and even kissed his father more than a dozen times.
Being kissed by his son, Zhu Gaochi smiled until his eyes narrowed.
"Our Zhanji is really good, and Daddy doesn't feel any pain at all."
"Daddy, if you hurt, I'll kiss you again."
"Good good."
Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Daddy, it will snow in two days." In his dream last night, his great-grandfather said that it would snow in three days.He said today, that is two days later.
"Really?" Zhu Gaochi asked, "Zhan Ji, how did you know?" When I asked the child yesterday when it would snow, he said he didn't know.Today it said it will snow in two days.
"Great-grandfather told me."
"Zhanji, did you dream about your great-grandfather last night?"
"Yes, I also dreamed about my great-grandmother." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "Great-grandmother likes me so much."
Zhu Zhanji chirped with Princess Yan and the others about what he had dreamed last night.Princess Yan's eyes turned slightly red after hearing this.
"Zhanji, how is great-grandmother?"
"Great-grandmother is fine."
"That's good." Princess Yan respected Empress Ma very much.When Empress Ma died of illness in the army, Zhu Di and Princess Yan were very sad.
Over the years, they have never dreamed of Queen Ma once.Now, knowing that Empress Ma also entrusted Zhu Zhanji with a dream, Princess Yan is very excited.
Zhu Zhanji talked with Princess Yan and the others for a while, and then continued to comfort the injured soldiers.
"Mother, Zhanji actually dreamed of his grandmother, this..." Zhu Gaochi's expression was very shocked, "Grandpa, grandmother, grandfather and uncle all appeared in Zhanji's dream, what is going on?"
"Good thing." Princess Yan didn't know exactly what was going on.
"Mother, do you think Zhanji will dream of other people in the future?"
"It should be." Princess Yan didn't say anything more about it, "Zhanji said that it will snow in two days, so you go and prepare."
"I really hope that there will be a heavy snowfall to send Li Jinglong and the others away." Zhu Gaochi had just stood up when he accidentally injured his shoulder, and the pain caused him to gasp involuntarily. "Mom, I'm going to get busy first."
"Go." Regardless of whether the snow in two days' time is light or heavy, it has done them a big favor.
The common people breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that it would snow in two days.
In the morning two days later, Li Jinglong was about to launch an attack again, but it snowed early in the morning.The snow fell harder and harder, covering the ground in no time.
With such a heavy snowfall suddenly, it is of course not easy to attack Peiping again.
Li Jinglong and the others didn't pay attention to the snow at first, thinking that it would stop the next day, but it turned out that the snow fell for three consecutive days and three nights, and it fell very heavily.
They had never seen such heavy snow in Nanjing, so they naturally didn't know how to take precautions.Many of their barracks tents were collapsed by the snow.Also, they didn't prepare enough firewood in advance.
This heavy snow made the weather in Beiping much colder.Without enough firewood and charcoal, and without enough clothes to withstand the severe cold weather, many of Li Jinglong's soldiers suffered from frostbite, and some died directly.
There is a saying that you will die while you are sick.Zhu Gaochi still sent people to attack Li Jinglong's army every night, making them restless.
In the past few days, Li Jinglong's army has been distracted, and deserters have also appeared.
It was so cold that the soldiers couldn't bear it.
Li Jinglong couldn't take it anymore.Seeing that the snow in Peiping did not stop, he decided to evacuate Peiping first.Wait for the weather to clear, and then return to continue the attack.
His decision was supported by everyone.The soldiers didn't want to stay in Beiping, a ghostly place.
Within two days, Li Jinglong's army withdrew from Peiping.
As soon as they left Peiping, they met Zhu Di who had rushed back from Daning.
This heavy snow really sent away Li Jinglong's army directly, which Zhu Gaochi and the others did not expect.
Although Zhu Gaochi said before that he hoped to send Xue Xue away from Li Jinglong's army, he knew that this was unlikely.Unexpectedly, God was on their side and let them get what they wanted.
Because of this heavy snowfall, Zhu Zhanji's status in the eyes of the people in Beiping Mansion has been elevated a lot.Originally, in the hearts of the people in Beiping Mansion, he was a god who came down to earth, but now the people believe and believe that he is a "little god".
Zhu Zhanji, who was regarded as a "little fairy", was numb.He kept emphasizing that he did not summon the heavy snow, nor did he let the sky fall, but the common people just didn't believe it, and agreed that he made the snow fall.
Being regarded as a god is not a matter of a day or two, and Zhu Zhanji is too lazy to correct the thoughts of the common people.Even if he corrected it, the common people would not believe it.However, he couldn't accept that the common people worshiped him as a god.
Although it can't change the common people's point of view that he regards him as a god, fortunately, the common people listened to his words and did not blatantly worship him as a god.As for the fact that the common people secretly hung his portrait at home to worship, he could only pretend that he didn't know.
Although Li Jinglong's army withdrew, Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi were worried that Li Jinglong would play tricks, so they still maintained a high degree of martial law as before.
The guards and common people of Beiping Mansion believed in the words of Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi very much, and they did not get carried away because of the withdrawal of Li Jinglong's army and relaxed their guard.
In the past few days, Zhu Gaochi still inspected the nine gates every day as before, eating and living with the guards, not daring to take it lightly.
Princess Yan returned to the palace.She called all the injured people to Yanwang Mansion to recuperate.
The Palace of King Yan was the palace of the Yuan Dynasty, which was very large and could accommodate wounded soldiers.
These wounded soldiers will not only receive meticulous care from the Yan Palace, but also be rewarded by the Yan Palace.
Princess Yan once said in front of all the people in Beiping Mansion that anyone who participated in resisting the enemy would be rewarded.This reward will not only reward money, but also land, and even increase officials and ranks.
When Zhu Di comes back, rewards will be given fairly and justly, and no one will be missed.This is also the reason why the people of Beiping Prefecture vowed to resist Li Jinglong's army to the death.
Back at King Yan's mansion, Princess Yan followed Zhang Mingzhen and the others to take care of the wounded soldiers, which moved the soldiers very much.
Zhu Zhanji still played his role as a mascot as before, and continued to tell stories to the wounded soldiers.
The wounded soldiers can now listen to the story with peace of mind, without worrying about the battle outside.They also tell stories, tell jokes, or sing songs for His Royal Highness.The atmosphere is very relaxed and warm.
In the past few days, Zhu Zhanji has gained a lot of knowledge and opened his eyes.He loves hearing the stories everyone tells.In fact, these stories are all things that happened in reality.After listening to it, he was deeply touched.
Zhu Gaochi received a letter from Zhu Di not long ago, and ran all the way to the backyard to find Princess Yan.
"Mom, Dad has a letter."
"What did your father say?"
"Father is back, and met Li Jinglong's army on the road..." Zhu Gaochi said out of breath, "Father and the others have defeated Li Jinglong's army, and Peking Mansion is completely safe this time... Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ..." He hurriedly took out the letter from his pocket and gave it to Princess Yan.
Princess Yan hurriedly opened the letter.In the letter, Zhu Di briefly described how they encountered and defeated Li Jinglong's army.
"It's great, it's really great." Although Li Jinglong's army had evacuated the Beiping Mansion a few days ago, Princess Yan was worried that Li Jinglong would come back, so she couldn't rest assured.Now knowing that Li Jinglong will not return to attack Beiping again, her heart that has been hanging high can finally land with peace of mind.
"Mother, Dad probably won't be able to return to Peiping until some time..." Zhu Gaochi hadn't recovered yet, still panting heavily.
"Gao Chi, your father hasn't come back yet, and the martial law in Peking cannot be relaxed." Although Li Jinglong will not return to Peking for the time being, he still has to take precautions just in case. "After your father comes back, you have to continue to inspect."
Zhu Gaochi nodded seriously and said: "Mother, don't worry, I will continue to patrol, but can the guards and the people rest?"
"Take turns to rest, let the injured take a good rest first." Many slightly injured people did not recuperate in Yanwang Mansion, but continued to guard the city gate.
"Okay, I will arrange for everyone to take turns to rest."
"Gao Chi, you must double-check the injured, the dead, and those who have done meritorious deeds. You must not miss anyone, you know?" Princess Yan had repeatedly told Zhu Gaochi about this matter.Now that Zhu Di was coming back soon, she told her again. "When your father comes back, you give him the roster and let him reward you for his merits."
"Mother, don't worry, I've been watching this matter all the time, and I will never miss anyone." If there were no ordinary people to defend Beiping mansion with them this time, I'm afraid Li Jinglong's army would have broken through Beiping long ago. "By the way, mother, the master came to me just now and said that he would do a ritual ceremony for the sacrificed people to save them."
"Master is still thoughtful." Princess Yan didn't think about it for the time being, "However, this matter has to wait for your father to come back, understand?"
Zhu Gaochi understood what Princess Yan meant, nodded and said, "Mother, before father comes back, we still have to properly bury the sacrificed person. We will do things after father comes back."
"You're right, you discuss the burial with the master." Yan Wangfei said, "After the discussion, you can do it later." The burial ceremony is most suitable for the eldest son Zhu Gaochi. "Whatever you need at that time, you can get it directly from the mansion."
"Okay." When fighting against Li Jinglong's army, many people were sacrificed. "Mother, I will visit the families of those who died one by one, and thank their families for their contributions to Beiping Mansion."
"Take Zhanji with you." For the people of Beiping Mansion, the little Highness's visit to their home would bring good fortune or auspiciousness to their home.
Zhu Gaochi understood the purpose of Princess Yan's arrangement: "After I discuss the burial with Master, I will bring Zhanji's family to visit."
Princess Yan nodded lightly: "That's it."
"Mom, do you have any orders?"
Princess Yan thought about it seriously, then shook her head at Zhu Gaochi: "No more, go get busy."
"Mother, then I'll go first." Zhu Gaochi hurried back to the house, and left in a hurry.He went directly to Qingshou Temple to find Daoyan to discuss the burial.Of course, he did not forget to send someone to inform the common people that Zhu Di defeated Li Jinglong's army on the way back to Beiping.
During this period of time, the situation in Beiping Mansion was very dangerous, and the common people were in fear every day.Now, the common people are of course very happy to learn that Beiping Mansion is safe again.The entire Beiping Mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere, even more lively and joyful than during the Chinese New Year.
"Mother, I was wondering if I should copy Buddhist scriptures for the sacrificed person?" Zhang Mingzhen suggested, "This is also our intention."
Princess Yan thought this proposal was very good, and praised Zhang Mingzhen, saying: "You are still careful, our family copied Buddhist scriptures for the sacrificed."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the other two daughters-in-law, "Do you have any objections?"
Webster hurriedly said, "Mother, of course we have no objection."
Xu also echoed: "Mother, this is what we should do."
In the past, they would never have copied Buddhist scriptures for the people, but during this time, they felt the people's desire to protect Beiping Mansion.At the same time, they knew in their hearts that without the help of the common people this time, it would be impossible to defend Beiping just by relying on the guards.If they can't keep Beiping, they will become prisoners if they don't die.To the common people, they are grateful.
"Copying Buddhist scriptures requires sincerity." Yan Wangfei said with a serious face, "Buddhist scriptures copied out of sincerity are not only useless, but will cause bad things. If you don't have this heart, there is no need to force yourself to copy."
"Mother, don't worry, we will be very sincere."
Seeing that the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law understood, Princess Yan didn't say anything more.
"Bath and fast for three days, and then copy Buddhist scriptures after three days."
"Yes, mother."
Princess Yan explained some things to Zhang Mingzhen and the others, and then went to Zhu Zhanji.
"Zhanji, grandma has something to discuss with you."
"Grandma, tell me."
"In a few days, you and your father will go together to comfort and thank those who sacrificed for Peking, okay?"
Zhu Zhanji said without thinking, "Okay."
Princess Yan reached out her hand to touch her grandson's little face, and said lovingly, "We Zhanji are so good."
"Grandma, are you just comforting and thanking them, don't you want to compensate them?" Zhu Zhanji said very seriously, "They are heroes, and we should compensate their families."
Princess Yan was shocked by her grandson's words, and then she was very relieved, "You are right, they are heroes, of course we have to compensate their families, but we have to wait for your grandfather
