Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, four days had passed.
In another day, it would be the time for the army to go north.
For the past four days, Zhu Zhen had personally brewed medicine for Concubine Hu every day. He had controlled every joint very well!
At the same time, after four days of recuperation, Concubine Hu almost stopped coughing. Her complexion was ruddy, and her voice was clear and powerful.
Even the few strands of white hair on his head turned black!
Sitting in the courtyard and watching Zhu Zhen boil medicine for her every day, Concubine Hu smiled happily from time to time.
She had never been so happy before!
During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang would often come over to take a look. When he saw that the medicinal herbs used by Zhu Zhen had to be carefully selected for a long time, he said,
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered his personal eunuch, Wang Jinghong, to deliver a large pile of medicinal herbs.
Hundred year old ginseng, deer antler, caterpillar fungus, pinnate, stonecrop, nightshade, and many other precious herbs.
Zhu Yuanzhang was really stingy with himself. He usually couldn't bear to eat good food.
He was wearing the shoes that Empress Ma had made for him!
However, he was extremely willing to part with his family.
As long as you say it, even if it's the stars in the sky, he will think of a way!
Zhu Zhen randomly picked some, but the rest were useless. Zhu Zhen returned them.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang want to talk to Zhu Zhen about the feelings of a loving father and filial son!
Hu Fei's complexion was getting better and better, and her body had basically recovered to a healthy state.
It wasn't half a month like what Imperial Physician Wang said, it was their Imperial Physician's Hospital!
And Zhu Zhen only used five days to recuperate!
However, Zhu Zhen still let Concubine Hu continue to recuperate.
He also asked Hu Fei's personal maid to learn his method of brewing medicine.
After all, he was going to set off with the army tomorrow!
The maidservant Xiao Rou was very clever, otherwise, she would not have been able to become the Imperial Consort's maidservant.
In just two days, she had learned most of it. During this period, Zhu Zhen's interest was piqued and he even taught her a lot of medical knowledge!
He told her to pay attention to her mother's health.
Xiao Rou smiled sweetly and nodded.
On the last day, Zhu Zhen braced himself and told Concubine Hu that he was going to follow the army to the northern expedition tomorrow!
Hu Fei's hand that was drinking medicine suddenly stopped and said anxiously,
"Zhen 'er, what did you say?"
Zhu Zhen knew that this would happen, so he waited until the last moment to tell Hu Fei!
"Imperial Mother, your son will be joining the army tomorrow.
You must rest well for a while!”
Clang!
The spoon that was used to drink the medicine fell to the ground. Hu Fei's eyes instantly turned red.
There was a sobbing tone in her voice.
"You want to follow the army to the north? You're only a teenager and you're already going to war?
No, absolutely not!"
Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly." Consort Mother, this matter was already agreed upon.
It was Uncle Xu and Father's decision.
Besides, my son also wants to see the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon of my Ming Dynasty.
To experience the customs of the Ming Dynasty and to adapt to military life!”
Hu Fei's temperament was immediately revealed.
"No, I won't allow you to go!"”
As she spoke, she stood up." I'm going to plead with the Emperor and ask him not to let you go!”
Zhu Zhen felt helpless. He gestured with his eyes and Xiao Rou went forward to support Hu Fei!
"Consort Mother, listen to me. This time, I made an agreement with Uncle Xu.
If his son couldn't do it, he wouldn't be able to marry the daughter of the Xu family. He would also be criticized by others.
If he was laughed at, how would his son manage the local army after he became the vassal queen?!
Yes, this northern expedition was also to temper himself in advance and experience the feeling of leading troops in advance!”
Hu Fei turned to look at Zhu Zhen. She knew her son's temper.
As long as he made a decision, no one could stop him.
If she wasn't his mother, he might not even bother to say it!
Concubine Hu thought about it and finally made three rules with Zhu Zhen!
First, he was only going to experience it and not go to the battlefield!
Second, he could only go for two months at most. After two months, he had to come back!
Third, don't act on impulse. If you really can't fulfill your promise with Xu Da, just give up. It doesn't matter even if you're laughed at by others!
Zhu Zhen's expression turned serious as he hurriedly promised.
"I promise to do it!"
Concubine Hu was still a little worried, so she told Zhu Zhen what to take note of for a long time!
Most of it was to tell Zhu Zhen to pay attention to his safety and not let anything happen to him. Otherwise, she would not be able to live!
After Zhu Zhen swore three times, Concubine Hu finally let him go.
Hu Fei watched Zhu Zhen disappear around the corner before she went back worriedly!
Whoosh!
Zhu Zhen let out a sigh of relief. The most difficult stage was finally over!
Actually, there were several reasons why Zhu Zhen had agreed to Xu Da's northern expedition!
The first was that the "flintlock manufacturing process" rewarded by the system had to wait until he reached the north of the desert before it would be distributed.
The other was that he wanted to experience the customs of Ming Dynasty.
The last reason was that he knew the outcome of the Northern Expedition.
This was the only failure of the seven northern expeditions during the Hongwu period.
And this defeat would make Great Ming unable to rest for at least the next ten years, unable to continue to use troops against the remnants of Northern Yuan!
Zhu Zhen also knew the reason for their defeat.
It was because the three armies had not coordinated well, and the news was blocked, so they could not complete the Datong adjustment.
This caused Xu Da's orders to fail every time.
Wang Baobao, the "extraordinary man" of Northern Yuan, would not give up such a good opportunity.
They had almost wiped out the 50,000 elite cavalry of the east army led by Li Wenzhong.
Even Xu Da's middle troops suffered heavy losses!
On the other hand, Feng Sheng's West Route Army, which was originally used to confuse Wang Baobao, had gained a lot!
The failure of this battle had reversed the situation of the Ming Dynasty for the next few decades!
Of course, Zhu Zhen was not saying that he wanted to reverse history by himself.
What he wanted was to reduce the number of deaths of the Daming Tiger Troop!
Let Da Ming not suffer such a serious loss!
As he thought about this, Zhu Zhen had already returned to his courtyard!
