Outside the Shuixi Gate, Li Jie is about to take a long journey. Zhu Yunxi, Liu Ying and Liu Yi and his son came to see him off. Not many people knew that he had left Beijing. After all, the mission to Japan this time was a secret, so except for Zhu Yunxi and Liu Ying and his son, Li Jie did not tell too many people about his departure from Beijing.

"Uncle, the training of the Tie Ce Army is very important. In the future, the pure firearms troops will definitely replace the current army, so you cannot throw everything to Brother Mu. What you should worry about is still to worry about!" Li Jie finally grabbed Liu Ying's hand and reminded again. If he didn't have to leave, he would probably stay with the Tie Ce Army to help Mu Sheng train troops together.

"Don't worry, I will be watching Tie Cejun, but I took away the slave soldiers by me and started to make trouble recently. I am now focusing on dealing with these people!" Liu Ying said helplessly and smiled bitterly at the end.

Tie Cejun was formed by the nobles' children and their slave soldiers. In order to let Mu Sheng train, he transferred the slave soldiers from their children. Although these nobles' children were not good, they were unwilling to hand over the people they brought to others, so they recently started to make trouble for Liu Ying, which was also very troubled by Liu Ying.

"This is easy to deal with. Don't they want slave soldiers? Then let them practice with their slave soldiers to see who can endure this hardship!" Li Jie sneered.

"Yes!" Liu Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this, but then she said with some concern, "But what if they really determined to practice with the slave soldiers?"

"That would be even better. If anyone of them is willing to work hard, I would admire them. Uncle, you have to train them well. If these people really grow up, with their family background, they will be more likely to stand out than ordinary generals in the future!" Li Jie smiled again.

The reason why the slave soldiers from the nobles was mainly because these people were not a good person and were unwilling to suffer with Mu Sheng. They did not necessarily have to take away their military power. So if they were willing to practice with them, they would save a lot of trouble.

"Okay! Just do it!" Liu Ying nodded immediately, and after saying that, he suddenly looked at his son Liu Yi.

Liu Yi felt a little embarrassed by his father's gaze. After all, he was a father and son. He knew his father very well, and immediately said with a bitter face: "Dad, I am your own son!"

"What's wrong with your own son? You have never suffered any hardships since you were a child. This is not a good thing. Now that you have this opportunity, you are my son again. Of course, you have to set an example. In two days, you will report to Mu Sheng and let those noble children see. Even my son is no exception. Let's see how they make trouble!" Liu Ying glared.

"Cousin!" Liu Yi saw that his father's road was not working, so he immediately asked Li Jie for help.

"Cousin, if the Tieca Army is trained, my uncle will be the first achievement. Maybe he will be famous in history, so I can only work hard for you!" Li Jie grabbed Liu Yi's hands and told him, "He is not joking. The first time in the world's pure firearms army. If he is trained, Liu Ying, as the commander, can definitely be recorded in history."

"I..." Liu Yi was speechless. Both of his closest people sold him. Now he couldn't even go.

At this time, Li Jie turned his attention to Zhu Yunxiu again, so he stepped in front of him and said, "Your Highness, the Tie Ce Army will definitely become an example in the army in the future. If you have time, you can also go to the Tie Ce Army for a walk. If you have any questions, you can ask your uncle and Mu Sheng and the others for advice!"

"Even if you don't say I'm going, I'm going. My cousin has been complaining to me a lot recently, and he even shouted that I would go to Tiecajun to be his backer!" Zhu Yunxiu said with a smile immediately.

Zhu Yunqi was very interested in firearms. When he first left the palace, Zhu Biao took him and Zhu Yunwen to watch Mu Sheng’s firearm practice. If it weren’t for the palace that he wouldn’t allow it, he really wanted to bring a musket back to the palace to play with it.

Looking at Zhu Yunxiu, who was almost the same height as him, Li Jie also felt a little moved and immediately patted his shoulder and said, "Your Highness, you really have grown up. Now you don't think about anything and focus on your studies. Only when you are strong, nothing else is a problem!"

"I know!" Zhu Yunyu nodded heavily when he heard this, "Li Bandu, you should take care of yourself on the road. My sister is still waiting for you to come back and marry her in the capital!"

"Don't worry, I've gotten the matter in Japan and will be back soon. I'll say hello to your sister for me!" After Li Jie said hello to Liu Ying and his son, then stepped onto the bow of the boat.

With the order of the accompanying guard, the ship immediately set off. Li Jie stood at the bow of the boat and waved goodbye to Liu Ying and the other two. The three also stood at the dock and refused to leave for a long time. It was not until Li Jie's ship turned a corner that the three disappeared from Li Jie's sight.

Looking at the gradually moving away from Jinling City, Li Jie was in a very complicated mood. This was his second time leaving Beijing. When he left Beijing last time, the future of their family was uncertain. Even he didn't know whether Lao Zhu's butcher knife would fall on him?

In contrast, it was much easier to leave Beijing Lijie this time. According to his original plan, after relieving the pressure of life and death, he should have found a way to leave the court and do something he likes. But at this time, he realized that he was still too naive. Even if he wanted to leave now, I am afraid that Lao Zhu would not agree.

As the saying goes, "When people are in the world, they have no choice but to do so." What makes people even more desperate is that there are people in the world, so Li Jie has no place to escape even if he wants to.

Of course, Li Jie can also choose to take a boat to sea, find an unmanned island to be a savage, or find a way to go to other continents. However, with the situation during this period, the Ming Dynasty was definitely the most prosperous civilization in the world, and Europe was just beginning to start, so it was better to stay here in the Ming Dynasty. As for the Robinson land reclamation, Li Jie was even less interested.

Thinking of the above, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh, but fortunately, Lao Zhu is old and has a full plan, and probably only has seven or eight years of life left. So as long as he can survive until Lao Zhu's death, he may be able to get rid of his current hard work.

However, Li Jie then thought that before Lao Zhu's death, he would have to change Zhu Biao's fate of early death. Otherwise, if Zhu Yunwen was really allowed to come to power, he would definitely not have the best results. Even if he found an opportunity to surrender to Zhu Di and helped Zhu Di successfully seize the throne, Zhu Di was not a good person, and Zhu Di was almost exactly the same as Lao Zhu.

"It's better to get along with my father-in-law!" Thinking of Zhu Di in history, Li Jie couldn't help but whisper to himself. It's an exception to how old Zhu could teach Zhu Biao's son so generous.

According to historical records, Zhu Biao got sick when inspecting Shaanxi two years later. It is said that he was preparing to move the capital. If Zhu Biao did not die, Lao Zhu would definitely move the capital to the north, so that he could also monitor Zhu Di, the northern vassal kings who held heavy troops nearby, and strengthen the Ming Dynasty's control over the military.

"There are two years left, but how can we change the fate of our father-in-law? Even if we prevent him from going to Shaanxi, what if we still get sick?" Li Jie whispered again, and his brows slowly frowned.

"By the way! He must be let lose weight!" Li Jie suddenly slapped the sidewalk of the boat. Instead of trying to find a way to change Zhu Biao's itinerary, it would be better to change Zhu Biao himself directly.

To be honest, even by the standards of later generations, Zhu Biao was too obese, not to mention that fat people were rarely seen in the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Biao, a big fat man, was very conspicuous wherever he went, and he did not avoid food. He ate most of the braised pork made by Li Jie last time.

When a person gets fat, all kinds of diseases come. The most typical one is the three highs. This is a basic disease. It may not be life-saving, but it will bring various problems to the body, which will cause other diseases, such as cerebral thrombosis.

In Li Jie's previous life, he had a cousin who suddenly had a cerebral thrombosis in his thirties. Although he survived the rescue of future generations, he became a vegetable. In this era, he could not even rescue him, and as long as he became ill, he would almost die.

"We must lose weight!" Li Jie immediately made a decision. When he came back from Japan, he would have to put Zhu Biao's weight loss on the agenda. Of course, Zhu Biao would definitely not listen to his words, but if Old Zhu spoke, Zhu Biao would have to listen.

Thinking of Zhu Biao, Li Jie quickly thought of Zhu Yuning. Li Jie was still very satisfied with his future wife, but Zhu Yuning's intelligence also put a lot of pressure on him. It is a good thing to have a smart wife, but if his wife is too smart, it may not be necessary for her husband. Not to mention anything else, just crushing IQ is a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, Li Jie was a later generation and did not discriminate against women. If another person married Zhu Yuning, it would be hard to say. After all, this is an era of patriarchal power. If a woman is too smart and too strong, it may be difficult for her husband to tolerate her marriage. Her marriage may also be a tragedy.

Thinking of this, Li Jie also felt a pity for Zhu Yuning. If she were born in later generations, she would definitely be an outstanding strong woman. Unfortunately, no matter how smart she is in this era, she can only stay behind a man. However, this is also a good thing for Li Jie, because he will have a powerful behind-the-scenes helper and will not fight alone.

Finally, Li Jie thought of Zhu Yunxi. In just a few months, Zhu Yunxi seemed to have completely changed his personality, became bolder and more confident, and was willing to learn a lot of new things. This is also what Li Jie was most satisfied with him. Now both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have greatly improved their impression of Zhu Yunxi.

In contrast, Zhu Yunwen followed Huang Zicheng and went further and further on the wrong path. I believe that as time goes by, the gap between him and Zhu Yunsheng will become bigger and bigger. In the future, whether it is Lao Zhu or Zhu Biao, they will definitely make more correct choices.
