From the very beginning, Deng Ming never thought of pretending to be a royal family. It was not his fault for others to have such a misunderstanding, as long as it was corrected. This was not the first time Deng Ming wanted to correct this mistake, but before, he was worried that it would cause him a lot of trouble, so he had not made a clear statement on this issue, and he always did not admit it or deny it. But today Deng Ming thought he had made great efforts and everyone was in a good mood. At this time, he admitted that others would not be particularly angry, and at worst he could just apologize sincerely. Although the time seems good, Deng Ming also made great determination to make this clear.

As Deng Ming expected, as he said this, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and the room was silently waiting for Deng Ming's following.

"Well, that's it." Deng Ming asked the people in the house to wait for a long time, and finally said something again. Now everyone feels bad, even if someone stands up and scolds him for bullying the public, the silence is unbearable now.

However, the following text that everyone was waiting for was obviously not this. Deng Ming's words were shocking, but even if someone wanted to jump up and scold him for deceiving the Ming army, he had to understand how he deceived him first. Just now, the officers in the room were waiting for Deng Ming to continue talking, and to hear who he was going to claim to be.

"That's it?" Zhou Kaihuang asked softly in disbelief.

"Yes, my surname is Deng. I am really not a royal family. You should call me Mr. Deng," Deng Ming hurriedly emphasized again: "You can call me Deng Ming."

There was another embarrassing silence, and everyone stared at Deng Ming, but no one spoke for a long time. After a long time, someone finally couldn't help asking: "Who is Mr. Deng?"

"No, Deng Ming is my real name."

A buzzing sound appeared in the house, and people began to talk in a low voice, but those who were secretly talking were very alert, talking to other people's ears, and looking at Deng Ming with their eyes to observe whether his attention was on him and guessing whether his words might be heard by Deng Ming.

"Where is Mr. Deng? What is his ancestor called him?" Zhao Tianba began to ask. He was probably the one who knows the most etiquette here. Judging from the words, he still respects Deng Ming very much: "Dare you ask about the name of the Lord? What position did you once hold in the imperial court."

"I am from Beizhili..." My father and grandfather named Deng Ming casually said that there must be no official position. They were not even from the Ming Dynasty: "Grandfather, fathers are all ordinary people."

"Are you farming?" Zhou Kaihuang shouted, his face full of strange looks.

"No, he is a commoner in the city." Deng Ming knew that the other party would never believe that he was the son of a farmer's family. Although he was indeed not a royal family, how to explain his origins made Deng Ming very troubled. He said that he came from hundreds of years later? This is probably even more unbelievable than saying that he is a peasant child.

"How did Mr. Deng... Why did Mr. Deng come from Northern Zhili to Sichuan?" Another person asked.

Deng Ming complained secretly in his heart, and he himself didn't know how he came to Sichuan from Hebei.

Seeing Deng Ming's hesitant look, the understanding Zhao Tianba raised a question of the nature of the rescue: "Does Mr. Deng have any hidden secrets?"

"Yes," Deng Ming immediately responded gratefully: "It's really hard to describe."

"You can say it slowly." The person who asked the question just now refused to give up.

"Mr. Deng said everything, he didn't want to say it!" Li Xinghan turned around and scolded the man and said, "Didn't you hear it?"

"Anyway, I am not a royal family. I was very sorry because of the bad situation before, and I was very sorry." Deng Ming clasped his fists to everyone and apologized.

"I dare not take this." Everyone in the house quickly stood up and returned the gift.

"Eat, eat, I'm really hungry." Zhou Kaihuang's expression had returned to normal. He called the guards to start the meal quickly, and then came to invite Deng Ming to sit down: "Mr. Deng."

After asking Deng Ming to sit down in the middle, other officers also took their seats. Although the atmosphere was still a bit strange and they were still secretly whispering, it seemed that everyone accepted Deng Ming's statement. Li Xinghan also asked: "Does Mr. Deng inform the entire army of this matter?"

"Yes-ah." Deng Ming just made up his mind not to hide it anymore. Since he told these people, of course he could not deceive other soldiers, but why did Li Xinghan's tone of questioning make him feel so weird?

"As for orders." Many officers responded at the same time.

Deng Ming was speechless for a while. He felt that his confession was not very successful, but what else could he say when he said this?

Most of the people talked with Deng Ming in the house, and a few ran out to convey the order before the food was delivered. Soon Deng Ming's order spread throughout the army.

"Your Highness has an order that you will not be called Your Highness again in the future, but you will still be called Mr. Deng."

"Why did Your Highness give such an order?" Many soldiers were very puzzled by this order. It was not only the Ming army who received the order, but the surrendered army in Wanxian also received the same notice. Many people were also curious, but they did not dare to question it blatantly.

"If you can figure it out, wouldn't you be your Highness?" The Ming soldiers who asked this kind of question were sent back angrily by their leader. When they asked the person who conveyed the order, they were ridiculed exactly the same, and now they passed the orders intact to their subordinates.

Everyone who is having dinner with Deng Ming now doesn't say it, but they believe that Deng Ming is telling the truth in their hearts. This is not the first time Deng Ming has appeared as a royal family these days. Every time Deng Ming plays this role, he seems calm to everyone to call him "Your Highness" - in Deng Ming's opinion, this is normal, and he has to act like it. Besides, as a modern person, he doesn't think it's like to be called Your Highness a few times.

However, this behavior will leave a completely different impression in the eyes of others. It is not without flattery, but the marquis certainly dare not call himself the master. People without titles also feel that they dare not let the people around them call him the marquis. In this era, this kind of presumptuous behavior is not even aware of it. Deng Ming's calm attitude is justified in the eyes of these people.

The courage to give orders is also one of the reasons why others believe that he is extraordinary. Deng Ming watched a lot of TV and movies in his previous life, and he quickly adapted to the respect of the people around him and was able to give orders. However, other ordinary people who had no identities and no official positions who had seen these officers would be so nervous that they could not speak in such a scene, and their knees would have become weak when they saw the official.

For example, if Zhou Kaihuang is called His Highness, he will definitely feel uncomfortable and refuse. Even if he is in a situation where he has to play, he will not be calm, nor will hesitate to confess when he notices that others have similar misunderstandings, but will definitely make clear immediately. Of course, Zhou Kaihuang will not mess up the superiors and inferiors, and when he is arguing, he will not be as open as Deng Ming, without any guilty appearance. Therefore, even a fake royal family will be discovered immediately, and will not be mistaken for it.

"Maybe it's because I'm still in danger? Or for some other reason?" Zhou Kaihuang had a thought in his heart, and was very puzzled by Deng Ming's order. However, since Deng Ming's attitude was so firm, he must have some unscrupulous difficulties: "Anyway, Fengjie will be coming soon. Your Highness will definitely explain in detail to General Wen, and then we will wait for General Wen to announce it."

Many others also have similar views as Zhou Kaihuang. Li Xinghan felt that if someone was misunderstood like this, he would definitely rob the land with his head and prove his innocence no matter what he said. Who dares to accept the treatment of the royal family with peace of mind? It is either a crazy liar or a real royal family, but why doesn’t Deng Ming look like the former? However, this storm caused Li Xinghan to have other thoughts. He had never believed that Deng Ming was the third prince of Zhu. Deng Ming’s performance when Zhou Kaihuang first made this news.

This also deepened Li Xinghan's suspicion - but it was just suspicion. If a normal person who was not a liar in this era heard that he was detained as the one after the Emperor Lie, his performance would definitely be much more intense than Deng Ming. The question just now "How did Mr. Deng come to Sichuan" made Li Xinghan's heart move. Deng Ming must be a royal family. Therefore, it would be easy to understand that he did not react too much after being called Emperor Lie: he was mistaken for his cousin. Although there was a misunderstanding, it was not a big difference.

"Is it the King of Shu?" Li Xinghan suddenly had such an idea in his mind. The old King of Shu was slaughtered by Zhang Xianzhong and the royal palace was also looted. He heard that a young son had not been martyred but had lost his trace. He had such speculation before, but now Li Xinghan thought about it more and more reason: "This Western thief has been by His Highness. If His Highness is the King of Shu, it will definitely not be easy to say it clearly. And is it strange that His Highness is using this in Sichuan?"

As for the flaws that were detrimental to Li Xinghan's conjecture from Deng Ming, he quickly found an explanation for him: "Of course it is different from us in the royal palace. The emperor has been in Beijing before. What's strange about learning some Northern Zhili dialect in the royal palace? If it is exactly the same as ordinary people, then it is called the royal palace? Anyway, Fengjie will be coming soon. When you see His Highness Wen, you can naturally say it all... Oh, the King of Shu is still there, this is a great joy."

In the past, Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan spoke the most. Today, they both have their own thoughts, so they seem much lower-key than before. However, Zhao Tianba, who always didn't speak much, seemed quite excited today. After drinking two glasses of wine, he congratulated Deng Ming and said, "Then Tan Yi is also a fool like Li Jinglong. Mr. Deng used a little trick and killed him without leaving any armor."

Li Jinglong was seized by Chengzu. In the three hundred years of public opinion in the Ming Dynasty, he has always been an incompetent and timid despicable villain. As long as the storytelling novel mentions the Jingnan Campaign, he will inevitably ridicule Li Jinglong. Since he does not have a title from the court and is so unpopular, everyone will laugh at him unscrupulously. Zhao Tianba's words aroused a lot of approval, and other officers also laughed at him that Tan Hong may not be as good as the idiot Li Jinglong.

"Tan Yi should be inferior to Li Jinglong," in the books that Deng Ming has read, Li Jinglong is also rated as the most incompetent person in Jingnan. His image in modern times has not changed much from that in the Ming Dynasty. However, after watching the Jingnan process, Deng Ming's impression of this person changed a little. The young man couldn't hide his words. Since he discussed this issue, Deng Ming couldn't help but talk about his own opinions: "Minister Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng died for Emperor Jianwen. Although they recommended Li Jinglong, everyone thought they were loyal ministers, so they didn't say that they were wrong. All the mistakes were on Li Jinglong..."

As Deng Ming said, Fang Zhenru and Huang Zicheng died for Emperor Jianwen, so they were treated differently from the clown Li Jinglong. Deng Ming didn't think he was called by his name, but in the eyes of the officers who believed that he was the Tian family, this was naturally the condescending attitude of the king to evaluate his ministers.

"I'm talking about these secrets in the palace, and I'm also saying that I'm not the third prince." Zhou Kaihuang slandered. According to what he thought, all the things Deng Ming knew would never be something that ordinary ministers had the opportunity to see.

"Li Jinglong is from Jiangnan. He was only in his early twenties when he was leading his troops to the expedition. He had never been to the northern Zhili area. Although his subordinates claimed to have 600,000 troops, the generals in command came from all over the world and had never known Li Jinglong before. Not to mention such a young boy, even the veteran general of Taizu Geng Bingwen may not convince everyone..." Deng Ming felt that commanding the 600,000 troops would never be an easy thing, especially commanding such a large army.

If you take an offensive, if you don’t have any talent, the huge pressure on food, grass, roads, reconnaissance and other work is enough to make such a large army turmoil without fighting. Compared with Li Jinglong, Geng Bingwen has the reputation of being good at defending, and is still a veteran who follows Zhu Yuanzhang. However, Deng Ming did not see Geng Bingwen showing any extraordinary defensive ability in the Jingnan battle, and even his prestige in the army is questionable. As soon as he met Zhu Di's outpost, two groups of soldiers and horses mutiny and fled, and one surrendered;

For example, in the Zhending Battle, Geng Bingwen gathered 100,000 troops to deploy defenses around the city and deployed troops and horses as barriers in Xiongxian and other places, thinking that he could rest assured. Until Zhu Di broke into Xiongxian and approached Zhending, Geng Bingwen still believed that Zhu Di, who had just eliminated the outer southern army, needed to recuperate and could not fight continuously - the commander who was responsible for the country could be so careless! As a result, Zhu Di led twenty (!) cavalry to attack Zhending at dusk, rushed into the unprepared camp outside the city and began to set fire, deployed 60,000 troops outside the city to unknown enemy situation, and in a mess.

Geng Bingwen, who was careless, was patrolling outside. The soldiers guarding the city closed the city gates, closed the suspension bridge, rolled wood, slashed stones, and kept throwing oil at the friendly troops who were fleeing to the city to take refuge. At this time, three thousand Yan troops arrived. Geng Bingwen was chased by Zhu Di and ran around Zhending. Finally, he escaped due to the night light. However, Li Jian, the son-in-law of the army who came with the same army, was captured by Zhu Di, and the 60,000 troops outside the city were captured by the 3,000 Yan troops. More than 40,000 prisoners were captured by the 3,000 Yan troops. More than 30,000 Southern Army still in the city were surrounded by one-tenth of Yan troops and did not dare to go out for half a month.

"... After the real defeat, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng recommended Li Jinglong to take office. Li Jinglong rectified Geng Bingwen's defeated army and attacked Beiping with his newly brought army. There had never been a mutiny along the way, nor did he have any problems of poor food or appointments. He had never been ambushed. Like Geng Bingwen, he was ambushed because of carelessness. He recovered the two palaces and surrounded Beiping. It was not wrong to judge that Chengzu would take the Zhengcunba road to rescue Beiping. However, since he met Chengzu, Li Jinglong would be defeated in every battle." Deng Ming gently tapped the table. It was like a young man who had never seen a car or had never driven a car. He was driven onto the shelves and drove an overweight truck to climb a mountain road with a curved and curved road.

Under normal circumstances, this young man should have fallen into the ditch without even seeing the mountain, but Li Jinglong drove his car up the mountain and climbed halfway up the mountain. He was just as he saw the peak and plunged into the valley. But was this the young driver a fool, or was the person who gave this task to him a bigger fool? Deng Ming asked the people around him this question: "Li Jinglong was defeated, defeated again, defeated three times, and defeated the emperor again. He recommended Li Jinglong, who had never led the army to fight, to Fang Xiaoru, who had never led the army to fight. Huang Zicheng strongly advocated killing him, and even scolded him as a thief who ruined the emperor's affairs in the dynasty, but what do you think? Is it recommended that those who did not know the army ruined the state affairs for those who did not know the army, or did this those who did not know the army ruined the state affairs?"

When Deng Ming just heard Deng Di lead 20 cavalry to create chaos by using the cover of the sky to create opportunities for the three thousand Yan troops to defeat the 100,000 Zhending Army, these young officers were all flirting with joy, and then sighed and regretted that they could not be there; when Deng Ming talked about Li Jinglong being able to command 600,000 troops to march in the enemy's territory, Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan changed their faces slightly. They knew the trouble of marching these days, and they were often busy commanding more than a thousand soldiers.

When everyone was stunned when they heard Deng Ming ask this question, Zhao Tianba suddenly stood up and thanked Deng Ming loudly: "You know people and take good responsibilities. Only by doing your best can you win every battle. Mr. Deng's instructions are that you have received low responsibilities."

Deng Ming was just chatting, but after hearing Zhao Tianba's words, everyone suddenly realized that this was using the story to cultivate everyone - this kind of behavior also has the meaning of cultivating a confidant, and everyone thanked Deng Ming one after another.

Seeing this, Deng Ming blushed a little again, but he thought this was not bad. Telling these illiterate officers the stories of famous generals they knew should help enhance their horizons and may also be of some benefit to them in the future marching and fighting.

"These should be military secrets that are only available in the palace, right? It involves Emperor Chengzu, and the old stories of Jingnan, who can see them outside the palace?" Zhao Tianba thought in his mind. He didn't believe that non-legend members would have the opportunity to see such old stories of Jingnan. Furthermore, in addition to the prince, Zhao Tianba felt that ordinary royal families would not have the opportunity to read these detailed information describing the Tian family's throne: "But why did the third prince order to hide his identity? When it comes to Fengjie, I have to report to General Wen."

Zhao Tianba, Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan, their eyes scattered after a little contact, and they were full of tacit understanding:

He claims to be not a royal family, claims to be Deng but Zhu... who would believe it?
