It had been a month since Zhu Zhen was born in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
Everyone in the world knew that Empress Ma, who had been pregnant for five years, had finally given birth. She gave birth to a son for Zhu Yuanzhang, named Zhu Zhen, and was conferred the title of King of Wei.
As for Zhu Zhen, the folk legends were all about him. Due to Zhu Zhen's birth, the commoners of the Ying Tian Estate saw the scene of birds paying homage to the phoenix. All kinds of animals in the Ying Tian Estate even knelt in the direction of the Imperial Palace on that day, which undoubtedly caused many people to speculate.
Everyone was obviously curious about Zhu Zhen. As the events that happened in the Imperial Palace spread, Zhu Zhen became even more legendary.
Among these rumors, there were those who said that Zhu Zhen was a monster, and there were also those who said that he was an immortal. In short, there were various versions that emerged one after another, so much so that the impact was quite large. For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang even ordered the Jinyiwei to take action, which gradually reduced the topic of discussion about Zhu Zhen.
However, there were still many people who were secretly curious about the new King of Wei, Zhu Zhen, who had been pregnant for five years.
"Mother…"
Zhu Di came to Earth Peace Palace today. Unlike before, he wore armor and looked like a young general.
Seeing Zhu Di like this, Zhu Zhen's gaze instantly fell on him.
"Ling, why are you dressed like this?”
Zhu Zhen asked directly.
He had grown up a little more. Zhu Zhen now looked like a five-year-old child. At this moment, Zhu Zhen was wearing a python robe. His small appearance was very cute.
For the past month, Zhu Zhen did not do anything else. The only thing he did was eat. He had no choice. His talent was displayed here. The Spiritual Medicine Body made his appetite shocking, so Zhu Zhen's appetite was very big. However, there was an advantage to this. The more he ate, the faster he could fuse with his flesh and blood. As a result, in a month's time, Zhu Zhen's strength attribute had already reached 159 points, exceeding the limit of an ordinary person by 59 points.
Zhu Zhen had experimented in private. Now, he could easily lift a rockery that weighed thousands of pounds in the back garden. His strength was remarkable.
However, Zhu Zhen was also very bored because he could do nothing but eat. He was taken care of by Empress Ma all day long. Seeing Zhu Di like this today, Zhu Zhen was interested and asked curiously.
"Your fourth brother is going to train in the army.”
Without waiting for Zhu Di to reply, Empress Ma spoke on Zhu Di's behalf.
"To the army?"
Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhu Di.
"Is there going to be a war?"
"Yes, Father is about to order the Duke of Wei Xu Da to lead the army north to the Northern Desert to fight against Northern Yuan. Therefore, Father ordered me to go to the Duke of Wei's camp to train. This time, I will follow the Duke of Wei to the battlefield to kill the enemy.”
Zhu Di nodded. His eyes were filled with excitement. It was as if going into battle to kill the enemy was an exciting thing for a man.
"War with Northern Yuan?"
Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Right, it's the fifth year of Hongwu. This year was the last battle between Xu Dabei and Wang Baobao, and also the most miserable battle for the Ming army. It was also because of this battle that my deadbeat father changed the military strategy of the Ming Dynasty from attacking the main to defending.”
Zhu Zhen was a transmigrator. When he heard Zhu Di's words, he immediately thought of the final battle between Xu Da and Wang Baobao, the two fated enemies.
In the Yuan Dynasty, after Xu Da attacked the capital, Emperor Yuan Shun fled north and completely left the Central Plains. After the death of Emperor Yuan Shun, his eldest son, Aiyou Shili Dala, succeeded to the throne, which was later known as Yuan Zhao Zong.
After Aiyou Shili Dala succeeded to the throne, he joined forces with the famous Yuan Dynasty general, Kuokuo Timur, who was also Wang Baobao in Lin, forming a powerful Northern Yuan force to threaten the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.
Zhu Yuanzhang had tried to surrender several times, but he was ignored by Aiyou Shili Dala and Wang Baobao. Moreover, the Northern Yuan forces were not willing to give up and often harassed the border, making Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.
Thus, in the fifth year of Hongwu, he sent Xu Da as the general to lead 150,000 troops to the north, intending to defeat the Northern Yuan forces in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, this battle was destined to fail. Zhu Zhen clearly remembered that in this battle, Xu Da had almost been wiped out because he had underestimated the enemy. The generals of the Ming army had also suffered heavy losses. It could be said to be the first major military defeat since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
It was also because of this defeat that Zhu Yuanzhang saw the stubbornness of Northern Yuan. He understood that there was no way to destroy Northern Yuan on his own. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted a new strategy. He changed from attacking to defending. He began to build cities at the border and train the border troops to resist Northern Yuan.
This situation only changed after Lan Yu rose up several years later.
Therefore, this battle was destined to be a losing battle.
However, Zhu Zhen was not thinking about the outcome of this battle. At this moment, he wanted to go with them to conquer Northern Yuan and see Wang Baobao, who was called the most amazing man in the world by his father, Zhu Yuanzhang.
So at this moment, when he heard that Zhu Di was going to the military camp, Zhu Zhen's thoughts immediately became active.
Zhu Zhen wanted to go on the battlefield, of course there was another reason, that was because of his innate skill Deathgod Domain. This innate skill had side effects, he had to kill a thousand enemies every year or else his attributes would be reduced. Zhu Zhenke didn't want his hard-earned attributes to be cut.
Therefore, if he could follow them to Northern Yuan, with his brute force and invulnerable body, Zhu Zhen really didn't care about these 1,000 enemies.
"You have to be more careful this time. This is your first time on the battlefield. You have to learn the art of battle formations well and learn more from your Uncle Xu. His ability is the strongest in my Great Ming. If you can learn one ten-thousandth of him, you will benefit endlessly in the future.”
As an old mother, Empress Ma naturally knew that Zhu Di was here to bid farewell. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and worry as she admonished Zhu Di.
"Yes, your son understands."
"The military camp is not like the Imperial Palace. All kinds of conditions are very difficult. You have to forget your identity as a prince and share weal and woe with the soldiers to gain their respect.”
"Good!"
"Take good care of yourself. Don't try to be brave. Your father sent you there this time to train you. Don't act rashly, understand?”
"Your son will remember it."
