Chapter 263 The first general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da!
Xu Mansion, hall.
The decoration in the hall is simple and elegant, full of the style of military commanders.
There is a weapons rack next to it, with many weapons above it.
These weapons exuded a cold light.
There are also several sets of armor hanging on the side. There are countless scars left by swords and guns on the armor, which may be shallow or deep, and there are still light dark red blood stains.
Xu Da is sitting above, with a tall figure, a very rough face, and a thick beard.
He held an edict in his hand.
You can vaguely see the soaring cloud pattern on the golden edict.
Xu Da's son Xu Zengshou looked indignant.
"Dad, you have made great military exploits for the Ming Dynasty."
"However, this time the emperor asked you to attack Japan, but asked the prince to be the commander-in-chief. Doesn't this make it clear that he does not believe you?"
Xu Da was known as the first god of war in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
He made great military exploits for the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that there is no Xu Da.
There would be no Ming Dynasty.
He defeated Chen Youliang in the Battle of Poyang Lake.
Capture Huaidong.
Capture Pingjiang.
Killed Zhang Shicheng.
Then he and Chang Yuchun sent their troops to the northern expedition.
Invasion of Dadu.
Overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.
After that, he sent troops in successive years to defeat the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty and took over Shanxi, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places.
He made immortal contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
Later generations called him the first hero of the Ming Dynasty.
Ranked first among the "six kings" of the founding of the country.
Xu Zengshou was young and vigorous, and could not hide his thoughts at all.
He held the injustice for Xu Da.
510 "Shut up!!"
"We are ministers."
"How can you talk about the Lord!"
"Just follow orders."
"I don't want to hear your nonsense again!"
"Otherwise, we will handle it according to military regulations!"
Xu Da's face turned cold and he scolded angrily.
Xu Zengshou's face turned red after being scolded, and he hesitated and said: "My son is just complaining about you, dad, and has no other meaning. Dad, don't you have any complaints?"
"Our Xu family conquers the world for their Zhu family."
"But the Zhu family treats you like this..."
boom!!!
A loud voice sounded.
Xu Zengshou's bold words were stopped.
The table was still shaking.
Xu Da's hands were still on the table, and he glared at his son.
"Stop talking nonsense!!"
"The Emperor is king."
"We are ministers."
"We will do whatever the emperor tells us to do."
"We cannot tolerate our nonsense."
Xu Zengshou felt that his heart was even more blocked.
He was obviously complaining about his father.
But the father scolded himself.
Xu Da felt Xu Zengshou's complaint, and he calmed down.
"Increase longevity."
"You can't rely on your own emotions in anything you do."
"(bheh) You just need to know."
"The Zhu family is the king."
"We are ministers."
"No matter what the Emperor or others order us to do, even if what we do is wrong, we just need to obey it."
"This way, we can live longer."
Xu Da's last sentence became very quiet. If Xu Zengshou didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't be able to hear Xu Tian's last sentence clearly.
Xu Da is not a reckless man.
How could a brainless fool lead the army to win consecutive battles, even defeat Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and conquer Dadu.
Xu Da is very smart.
And he knows how to protect himself.
He knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang hated most was people who disobeyed orders.
So he is very well-behaved.
What did Zhu Yuanzhang say?
Just do it.
Even if the order is inappropriate.
He also performs.
This may also be the reason why he was able to die well.
The founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
Most of them don't die well.
Only a few will die well.
However, Xu Da was able to die well, but his son Xu Zengshou was different.
Xu Zengshou and Zhu Di had a good relationship.
Zhu Di is also Xu Zengshou's brother-in-law.
Historically, during the Jingkang crisis, Xu Zengshou privately conveyed news to Zhu Di.
As a result, he was executed by Emperor Jianwen.
Xu Zengshou is actually a fool.
Emperor Jianwen suspected Zhu Di of treason and asked Xu Zengshou.
Xu Zengshou protected Zhu Di.
It is said that King Yan was of the same spirit as the late emperor and was extremely wealthy, so it was impossible for him to rebel.
Later, Xu Zengshou also informed Zhu Di of Beijing's deployment many times.
Emperor Jianwen noticed.
Wait until the Yan army crosses the Yangtze River.
Emperor Jianwen questioned Xu Zengshou face to face.
Xu Zengshou could not answer.
Then, Emperor Jianwen became angry and drew his sword to kill Xu Zengshou.
Knowing that Zhu Di might rebel, "Xu Zengshou protected Zhu Di.
Moreover, Xu Zengshou and Zhu Di have a close relationship.
It’s time to find a way to clear up the relationship.
Just go up.
He also sent messages to Zhu Di privately many times.
This series of operations.
How could Emperor Jianwen not destroy him?
Xu Zengshou was a little dissatisfied with his father Xu Da's words, but he could only obey his orders.
He felt that although they were ministers.
But they also have to have backbone.
Otherwise, how is it different from a dog?
"This time we conquer Japan."
"It's to assist the prince."
"I just need to do my job as deputy commander."
Xu Da said.
He has no dissatisfaction.
Zhu Biao is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Crown Prince.
The future emperor.
Moreover, Zhu Biaozhai has a kind heart.
Xu Da is still very convinced of Zhu Biao.
Although Zhu Biao didn't know much about marching and fighting, Xu Da didn't mind.
on the contrary.
As long as Zhu Biao doesn't give random orders.
That'll do.
Xu Da felt that he only needed to treat Zhu Biao as a mascot and serve him well, even if he was sent by the emperor to supervise him.
Just supervise.
Xu Da had no objection.
He didn't feel guilty at all.
However, he was still a little chilled.
He conquered the world for the Zhu family.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a good brother with him through life and death.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang treated his brothers like this.
He didn't trust him so much that he asked the prince Zhu Biao to supervise him.
Said there was no chill.
That's fake.
He understood his son's dissatisfaction.
But so what if you are dissatisfied.
In the final analysis, they are just ministers, and the Zhu family is the king.
Ministers should abide by their duties.
obedient.
To put it nicely, they are important ministers.
To put it mildly, he is a loyal dog.
so what.
Regardless of whether your reputation is good or bad, it is better than losing your life.
Xu Da understood the reason.
on the other hand.
Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. After establishing the Ming Dynasty, he continued to gain power.
Gather military power.
He saw all this.
But he was playing dumb.
Just pretending not to know.
"I hope this Eastern Expedition will not cause any trouble.
Xu Da thought.
Zhu Biao also went on the expedition.
So, be careful in everything.
Protect this noble Crown Prince.
Xu Da still respected Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince. Although Zhu Biao had not yet ascended the throne, he had already handled some government affairs of the court.
Working diligently.
Very diligent.
And Zhu Biao is different from Zhu Yuanzhang.
He has a kind heart.
He won't kill people indiscriminately.
For such a person to ascend the throne is beneficial to their group of ministers.
He also hoped that Zhu Biao could take over the throne and protect the Ming Dynasty that had defeated them.
Although his son-in-law is Zhu Di.
But he had no other thoughts.
The son-in-law Zhu Di is not an emperor, but a vassal king, which is fine.
His position of power is extremely high.
Ask for nothing more.
