In the seventh year of Hongwu, the legitimate eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born.
He who resides as the legitimate heir will surely ascend to t...
Whether his two uncles were satisfied or not, Zhu Xiong Ying didn't know, nor did he need to care. He was just releasing a little information; those who needed to know would know, and those who didn't need to know would remain unaware.
As for Prince Qi, he has already been summoned back by imperial decree, and it is estimated that His Highness is feeling quite uneasy. The reprimand came faster and was more severe than expected. Now, not only is his father furious, but his elder brother is also very dissatisfied.
This is no small matter. In the past, when he angered the Emperor, his elder brother would protect him and mediate. But now that his elder brother is angry, he may not be able to escape this severe punishment.
The King of Qin and the King of Jin had no intention of getting involved in such a matter; it was the seventh prince's own foolishness. Even if he harbored resentment or wanted to put on airs, he shouldn't have done it this way. It was simply asking for trouble; it was clearly an unwise move.
But considering the seventh prince's personality, it's not surprising that he did something so stupid; he's a brainless scoundrel. If he hadn't been born into the royal family, he probably wouldn't even have enough to eat, and would likely have been kicked out or imprisoned long ago.
Zhu Xiong Ying's roasted whole lamb skills are quite good. It's not just her second and third uncles who praised her; Zhu Xiong Ying herself feels very good about it too.
Border hunting is nothing short of a military exercise, serving as a deterrent and restraint against the various Mongol tribes. As for actual warfare, it seems that Zhu Xiong Ying's main force is encountering virtually no formidable enemies, nor are there any truly powerful adversaries posing a challenge.
The Mongol tribes need some time to recover, or rather, they need their internal strife to end before challenging the authority of the Ming Dynasty. They are currently too busy taking care of themselves.
Disappointment is out of the question, because Zhu Xiong Ying knew from the beginning that the troops he led were incapable of fighting. He was merely leading the Ming army of Wuwei on patrols of the nine border regions, only to intimidate the Mongol tribes.
This also included their occasional support of Xu Yungong and Li Jinglong. They seemed to be doing a good job, capturing a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses, bringing back many prisoners, and rescuing some Han Chinese.
All of this is a good thing, and Zhu Xiong Ying is naturally happy to see it happen. This can be considered as achieving some of the initial strategic goals, which is enough. Zhu Xiong Ying is not currently aiming too high and thinking about directly attacking the Dragon Court.
Moreover, Zhu Xiong Ying is currently more concerned with Goryeo and the ongoing cross-sea operations. The war in Japan is extremely important, as it concerns the finances of the Ming Dynasty. This is the key battle!
