Chapter 375 How can a general have a son? !
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened quietly to Li Jinglong's report.
He didn't say anything to this, he just looked Li Jinglong up and down a few times, nodded and said: "Like, you are very similar to your father."
Li Jinglong smiled and said: "It is only natural that a son should be like his father."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "That's different. When your father was eighteen years old, he followed us through life and death on the battlefield. We didn't know how many times we were in danger. Although I look like your father, I'm still not as good-looking as Bao'er."< br>
"He was a white-robed general at that time, and he was very majestic in the army."
"Haha."
Zhu Yuanzhang also remembered the past.
After becoming Li Wenzhong, Li Jinglong inherited Li Wenzhong's handsome face and tall figure. Although he is only eighteen years old now, his height is almost the same as that of an ordinary person, or even slightly higher. Just standing there gives people a sense of oppression. Quite a tiger general.
Li Jinglong also said excitedly: "Jinglong has listened to his father's deeds since he was a child, and he has set his ambition early. In the future, he will follow his father's example, join the army, fight on the battlefield, and open up territory for the Ming Dynasty again. I, Li Jinglong, will never let it down." My father’s reputation.”
"Okay, okay, the general is a tiger, the general is a tiger." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily.
He didn't want Li Jinglong to actually lead the army in the war.
Now the Ming Dynasty has no shortage of generals to lead the army, and Li Jinglong is only eighteen years old, which is still too young. However, Li Jinglong has indeed learned a lot of skills, is good at literature and martial arts, and is familiar with military books. When talking to some veteran generals, he is also clear and logical, and he gets It was recognized by many generals.
He actually wanted to let Li Jinglong practice for a while.
As for whether he should be civil or military, let Li Jinglong choose.
As for wars, there are not so many wars in the Ming Dynasty now. Once the Northeast and the North are pacified, the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful.
Li Jinglong said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has been a little absent-minded and listless since he left Xia Zhibai's residence. I am still a little worried about Your Highness. Although Your Highness seemed to have woken up when he returned to the palace, I am still a little uneasy." .”
"Your Majesty, please be more considerate."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We know, this is not the first time."
"Every time the prince meets Xia Zhibai, he will be shocked by Xia Zhibai's views for a long time, and he will not be able to recover for a long time. We are all used to it, and we don't know what our prince thinks. Every time If you don’t get it right, you still insist on going. We can’t persuade you anyway.”
"Since he wants to ask, he can solve it himself."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
He was also deeply helpless.
Every time Zhu Biao goes to see Xia Zhibai, he will be depressed for several days when he comes back. This happens every time. Normally, it is time to remember. From ancient times to the present, one county is enough to govern the world. The world is not The whiteness of summer is indispensable.
Without Xia Zhibai, the sun would still rise in the east and set in the west.
His Ming Dynasty will not have any impact.
He now views many of Xia Zhibai's views from a novel perspective. They are indeed somewhat novel and original, but it is impossible for him to change the foundation he has laid for all eternity by just a few words.
The cost of change is too high.
Too big for him to bear.
However, he was actually quite happy to let Zhu Biao come into contact with Xia Zhibai. Although he couldn't bear to see Zhu Biao defeated, as Zhu Biao said, there were too few people in the court who dared to tell the truth. Everyone Wearing a hypocritical mask, flattering everyone here, and being submissive to Xia Zhibai, at least Zhu Biao can realize that he is not as perfect as the world says, and he still has a lot of room for improvement.
You must be calm and down-to-earth in order to be a good prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't worry about the prince's affairs. As for your coming here, there is no need to tell the prince. His self-esteem is still a bit strong. If he knew that you told us these things, I'm afraid he would have some emotions for you. We are all a family, and we still don't like to see this kind of thing." Li Jinglong said with a shudder, "I know."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "You are now eighteen years old. Have you thought about what you want to do in the future? Is it to study Chinese literature or martial arts? This needs to be decided early. If it is to study Chinese literature, I can arrange something for you. As an errand, if you want to practice martial arts, I will let you take charge of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion. Your father has held this official position before, but it was just a name. We will check the situation and let you go to a place to train. ”
Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment, his eyes flinched, and finally he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I am willing to fight on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty's Thousand Mile Horse."
"Have ambition, just like your father when he was young, haha." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, not surprised by Li Jinglong's choice. After all, he is Li Wenzhong's son. If he didn't have a bit of bloodshed and didn't want to go into battle to kill the enemy, he would be Don't believe it.
Li Wenzhong was almost eighteen or nineteen years old when he led troops to fight for the first time.
And he also made meritorious service.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang does not think too highly of Li Jinglong. He knows about the tiger father and dog son. Although Li Jinglong looks majestic now, when he goes to the battlefield, it is different from usual. It really wants to see blood. Really want to kill the enemy.
He would not think that Li Jinglong had the same talent as his father just because he was Li Wenzhong's son.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with great sincerity: "It is impossible to lead troops to fight without understanding and understanding of soldiers."
"Even your father, Bao'er, started in the military camp."
"We won't let you start as a pawn, but it will be good for you to let you go to the military camp. In the future, you can go to the places where your father fought and feel some of your father's honor."
Li Jinglong nodded repeatedly, with an excited expression on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
He quite liked Li Jinglong's fierceness.
Follow Baoer.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "But let me explain it to you in advance. Leading troops to fight is not a child's play. It can really kill people. Let me let you think clearly. We don't want to hear the dignified Duke Cao going to the battlefield in the future. He was so scared that he wet his pants and didn’t dare to go into battle with a knife. We can’t afford to lose this guy.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said half-jokingly and half-reminding.
Li Jinglong had a serious look on his face and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will never fall short of the power of the Ming Dynasty, nor will I betray your Majesty's trust, nor will I tarnish my father's reputation. I have set my ambition very early." , that is, going into and out of the battlefield, just like my father did back then, and making contributions to the Ming Dynasty. ”
"I have been prepared for a long time."
"Even if it means dying on the battlefield and being wrapped in horse leather, I won't hesitate."
Li Jinglong is righteous and awe-inspiring.
It seems that life and death have long been ignored.
The only thing in my heart is to make great achievements, and only to follow in the footsteps of my late father, and to move forward indomitably.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Since you have made your decision, we will not dissuade you. Even if our family has such blood and ambition, you can go down first. When spring comes, we will send you to Huguang to train troops."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Li Jinglong said gratefully.
He still knew his situation. With his father's death from illness, his family's situation had actually declined. If he joined the court as an official, he would certainly be favored, but he would also lose the possibility and foundation for further advancement.
The foundation of his Li family has always been His Majesty's trust.
And the reputation that his father created.
After joining the army, other generals knew that he was Li Wenzhong's son. Who wouldn't take a high look at him? His father's old military unit would also help him gain a foothold. Because of this, he firmly chose to join the army.
