In the fifth year of Chongzhen, at the end of February, Xue Hongqi followed Xu Renjie's plan and easily captured Dali and guarded the county. He also learned Zhu Yuanzhang's management method and retained the Dali court officials, thinking that they had used it. He then sent someone to send thank-you gifts to Huanglong Mountain Village. From then on, he relied on the north and the south, becoming a solid "ally."

Three months passed in a blink of an eye!

In May, the spring is full of spring. Zhu Yuanzhang took Ma Xiaotian and his personal guard out of Baishui City. He was about to go to the training ground outside the training ground to see the leaders train. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw a scout burying his head and hurried into the city. The scout had been rushing for several days, and it was obviously a mountain road with a lot of black mud on his body, and a fresh smell of the unique soil in the mountains.

Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed lightly and quickly greeted, "What are you running away in a hurry? Could it be that something happened in Huanglong Mountain?"

The scout was startled by Zhu Yuanzhang's shout. He raised his head and saw clearly that the person in front of him was Zhu Yuanzhang. A hint of joy immediately appeared on his face, but the hint of joy quickly turned into an unexplained embarrassing look. He wanted to shout loudly, but he said a little unwillingly: "Brother Zhu, happy event!"

"Um?"

"My sister-in-law gave you a...cough...she gave you a...daughter."

"Oh, so that's it!" Zhu Yuanzhang responded lightly. As a person from two lifetimes, he had countless children and grandchildren in his previous life. He heard that having children was not as ecstasy as ordinary people, so he calmly analyzed: No wonder the scout's expression was strange. It turned out that he had given birth to a daughter. He wanted to congratulate me but didn't dare.

These days, the whole society is seriously favoring boys over girls. If someone gives birth to a son, you can go and congratulate him loudly, and he will definitely be happy to invite you to drink. But if someone gives birth to a daughter, you will also go and say congratulations without knowing it, it is equivalent to be slapping someone in the face. The owner may take a feces fork and directly give you out.

Therefore, when the scout reported the good news to Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not dare to say congratulations. He only said the happy event, and when he said the word "大子", he stuttered, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would get angry and kick him, the person who reported the news, away.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing. After floating in the sky for hundreds of years and exposed to many concepts from later generations, the thing that favors boys and girls is no longer in his mind. For him, there is no difference between having boys and girls. As for the issue of heirs... Only with real talents can daughters be his heirs. Britain, Spain, Russia and other countries have had queens. China's custom of favoring boys and girls for thousands of years can be changed! Besides, China also had a queen, and the name Wu Zetian is not fake. From this, it can be seen that the main reason for determining whether a man or a woman can be an emperor. The most important thing is whether he can play power tricks and whether he has the ability to manage a country.

He patted the scout on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Good news. Thank you for your hard work. Now I don't have any money on my body and can't send you the wedding money. Let me turn back and have someone bring it to you..."

The scout was startled, and he didn't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang's smile was true or not, so he dared to ask for any wedding money for letters. He nodded and ran away. Before running, he threw down another sentence and said, "The sister-in-law of Li Chujiu's family asked me to send you a message, saying that Sister Qiuye's body was weak after giving birth. When she finished her confinement, the two sisters-in-law would come out to the city together."

At this time, Ma Xiaotian also came over. He and Zhu Yuanzhang were together every day, and were close ministers among the close ministers, so they spoke more casually and were much more courageous. He couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, he is actually a daughter... Brother Zhu, don't be angry, you will definitely have a son next time."

"There is nothing wrong with my daughter!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Ma Xiaotian thought Zhu Yuanzhang was forcing his face to laugh, shook his head and said, "Brother Zhu, don't go out to see the training today. Go home and have a rest. Brother, I'll go to the restaurant to find out if there are any singers. I'll ask two people to go to your house to sing for a few songs, so that you can feel comfortable."

"No, I'm in a good mood." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Let's go see the training!"

"Ah?" Ma Xiaotian murmured in a low voice: "I'm in a good mood after giving birth to a daughter? This is a bit too strong..."

The group left the city and walked east for a while to a flat ground. The flat ground was surrounded by wooden fences, and the training ground was inside. The soldiers guarding the gate quickly welcomed Zhu Yuanzhang and his group. They saw Wang Er, Yang Hong, Xu Renjie, Miao Mei and others were all there. They each had their own plans. Yang Hong was responsible for training musket soldiers and crossbow soldiers. After all, he was a regular military general in the court. The ability of these two soldiers was much stronger than that of other leaders, so these two types of soldiers were all under his command. Xu Renjie was responsible for infantry exercise arrays. This guy claimed to be a Confucian general and loved to make things like formation changes. It was the most suitable for him to do.

Wang Er and Miao Mei are practicing equestrianism and hand-to-hand combat. They are all focused on being a powerful general who is rushing forward, and command is nothing to do with them.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to take a look at their training every day and give some tips on Yang Hong and Xu Renjie to train soldiers. However, before it was his turn to speak today, Ma Xiaotian rushed up first, gathered the leaders together, and whispered to them that Zhu Yuanzhang had a daughter.

The expressions of the leaders seemed to be sank. After a while, Wang Er walked over with a stern face and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother Zhu, um... don't be sad, the next one is definitely a son."

Miao Mei followed behind: "Don't worry, how could you, a person with such ability, not have a son? It's definitely a man next time."

Next is Yang Hong: "Brother Zhu, good people will be rewarded. It is impossible for them to be unable to give birth to a son. Don't worry."

Finally, Xu Renjie: "Brother Zhu, you are too clean and have too few women. How can one wife and one concubine guarantee children? Look at me, I will send two confidants to Xi'an to buy you a batch of beautiful maids. Which one do you like will be carried into a concubine... Isn't it just a 55-year-old boy or a girl? Is it a 55-year-old boy to have a 55-year-old boy to have a 55-year-old boy? If you are afraid that my sister-in-law will know, I will keep these 10 concubines outside and set up a separate courtyard... I will help you solve the problem with it with my brother."

"Get out of your egg!" Several leaders tried together and kicked Xu Renjie aside.

Zhu Yuanzhang was really amused and crying. These guys...forget it! Due to the limitations of the times and society, it is normal for them to have such ideas. I have hundreds of years of knowledge than them, so why bother with them?

"Don't worry about me, I like my daughter very much!" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

Brother Zhu was laughing and laughing. The leaders gathered together and expressed sympathy for Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You guys and I have nothing to say!" Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed: "Forget it, you train troops, I'll give my daughter a nice name."

"Name? Brother Zhu, I'm good at this!" Wang Er jumped out and laughed: "This is your big girl, named Zhu Damei, do you think it sounds nice?"

"Get out of you, Big Sister Zhu, what's the name?" Miao Mei jumped out from the side and said, "She was born in May and is named Zhu Wuyue, this is good."

Xu Renjie shook his head: "You unlearned people, I'd better do it, well... Zhu Qiangnu, is this name good?"

"Get out! Have you been messing with your brain recently?" Several leaders tried to kick Xu Renjie aside.

Only Yang Hong is the most reliable. He pulled this group of undesirable leaders aside and whispered: "What are you doing? To compare knowledge, we are not opponents of Brother Zhu. Let him think about it himself, don't make trouble."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought of his name. He picked up a branch, drew a few times on the ground, wrote the word "Zhi", and smiled and said, "Just call it this name, Zhu Zhi, um... it's okay."

"What's this?" Wang Er didn't recognize it.

"I only know half of the following, it seems to be the word "Shu". Miao Mei didn't know it either.

"Huh? This name is pretty good, it tastes good..." Xu Renjie came over and said, "It's indeed better than Zhu Qiangbun."

Yang Hong covered Xu Renjie's mouth and dragged him to the side, stopping him from speaking.

Everyone was having fun, but saw another scout running over and said anxiously: "Brother Zhu, something big happened..."

"Oh?" Xu Renjie couldn't cover his mouth, so he came over and said, "If Brother Zhu got a daughter, we already know that, there is no need to spread the word twice, right?"

"Ah? Brother Zhu got a daughter? Congratulations..." The scout almost said congratulations. Suddenly he thought it was his daughter who could not congratulate him. He quickly took it back and changed his words: "It's not this matter, it's news from the north, a big thing... In February, we had received the news, but Tianfei, Hao Lin'an besieged Qingyang, Hong Chengchou sent Cao Wenzhao to lift the siege of Qingyang... The follow-up news about this matter has been spread."

Now Zhu Yuanzhang and all the leaders raised their spirits: "Let's talk about the back!"

The scout wiped his sweat and reported in a deep voice: "On March 13, Cao Wenzhao met with Yang Jianuo, the general of Gansu, first lifted the siege of Qingyang, and then fought with the rebel army in Xihao. Hong Chengchou actually rushed to Qingyang to command. The rebel army fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers for more than ten consecutive battles, and was finally defeated by Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao. The leader Du San and Yang Laochai were killed. More than a thousand soldiers were killed, and countless wounds were injured... The government has reported this battle and called it a great victory in Xihao."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly after hearing this. As a result, the Western Rebels could be said to have completely collapsed: "But Tianfei, Hao Lin'an, these two big leaders, were not killed?"

The scout reported: "Ke Tianfei and Hao Lin'an were not dead. They led the remnants to escape. But Tianfei stationed in Tiejiao City north of Huan County. Tiejiao City is located in the mountains, with high mountains and deep ditches and dangerous terrain. As for Hao Lin'an, he fled to Yaozhou Zhizi Mountain and stationed there. The place was also high and densely forested, and the government could not take it for a while..."
