Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Consider Zhu Di commanding 650,000 troops.

Among them, news reached Jinling that nearly 400,000 young herders had gone south, and 368 Shaanxi chief envoys had been massacred.

Fishing sea, formerly the city of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Mu Ying commanded tens of thousands of elite cavalry to garrison.

The entire royal city was running in an orderly manner under Mu Ying's management.

Ordinary Mongolian people living in the royal city gradually settled down.

City head.

Mu Ying looked coldly at Qian Hu who was kneeling in front of her.

The generals around him begged for mercy.

"Marquis Xiping, give him another chance."

"Yes, he was just drunk, so he didn't pay. We have already paid for him."

"As for the woman he slept with, let him take her back and marry her home."

"Marquis Xiping, too many of our brothers died in this battle. It's not a big deal. We are the victors!"

…

Mu Ying looked coldly at the general who begged for mercy.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Qianhu, who was kneeling and sweating.

To be honest, he had lost so many old brothers in this battle, and he also wanted to give this old brother a chance to change his ways.

Moreover, a general of Qianhu's level.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, there were many.

But those who are truly good at fighting are not just a handful.

This Qianhu happened to be a very brave and loyal general.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people willing to intercede for him.

Can……

"The warning given to you by King Yan when he left. It has only been a while now. Do you think you don't need to obey it now that King Yan is gone? You can loosen the tight strings in your mind and loosen your belt!"

Mu Ying glared at the generals, pointed at the herdsmen coming in and out of the city, and angrily said: "Knowing that we control Beiyuan City, why can Beiyuan City be stabilized so quickly?"

"Think these herdsmen, who are used to seeing life and death, are afraid of you!"

"These herdsmen respect the majesty of King Yan!"

"We have confidence in Qiu's discipline since we entered the city! Trust!"

…

He will not kill this Qianhu today.

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...

More people will have loose belts!

Do we have to wait until it arouses public dissatisfaction in the city, causes turmoil, and affects the prince's treatment and recovery?

In the past, when he was leading troops, he really didn't care about the dirty hands and feet of the soldiers after a great victory.

After all, this has been the case throughout the ages.

The winner has control over the loser.

Until this time I witnessed a series of behaviors of the fourth child on the grassland.

When it was time to kill, Lao Si was ruthless. It is reported that on the Western Front going north to Helin, when the war was going on, Lao Si was cruel and resorted to all possible means.

But once after the war.

The divisions on the western front will be severely restrained by the Army's First Town sent by Lao Si.

Some of the subordinates of several vassal kings were directly enforced military discipline for violating the rules of the Fourth Prince.

Look at it now.

The story of Lao Si spread throughout the grassland.

The entire grassland admired and respected Laosi very much. With Laosi's order, hundreds of tribes, large and small, gathered together.

400,000 Qingzhuang Mu militiamen!

The total population is close to one million, driving cattle and sheep, carrying tents and following Laosi southward!

This kind of power of a winner.

He had never seen it.

If the court does not change.

If the old tactics continue, even if they win the Bei Yuan in this battle, they will completely destroy the small court of the Bei Yuan.

The only one respected by Bei Yuan was Lao Si.

But there is no Ming Dynasty!

"Go, take him to the house of the herdsman he caused harm, and chop off his head in front of them! Tell everyone in the city that our Ming Dynasty is the master of Huanghuang!"

Ta-ta-ta...

Rapid footsteps sounded.

Mu Ying's soldiers came running with excitement on their faces, shouting from a distance: "Master Hou, Master Hou, the Crown Prince is awake, the Crown Prince is awake!"

When the generals heard this, they immediately showed excitement.

"The prince is awake! Great!"

"Marquis Xiping, let's go see the Crown Prince first!"

…

Mu Ying didn't care about anything else and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the royal court.

…

When they arrived at the palace where Zhu Biao was recuperating, he saw Zhu Biao with a pale face and sitting weakly on the bedside.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"

"No need to be formal..."

Zhu Biao sounded weakly, asked about the situation of the battle, encouraged the generals for a few words, and then sent them away.

Only Mu Ying and Lu Ben, whose legs had been amputated, were left in the house.

Zhu Biao looked at Lu Ben's legs, "Are you okay?"

"I thank you, the Crown Prince, for your concern. I am fine, the Crown Prince is fine, and we are all fine in the Ming Dynasty!" Lu Ben suddenly choked up, lowered his head, and held his sleeves to wipe away his tears.

What a pity he lost these two legs!

There are old bones on both sides.

It's worth a thousand dollars in exchange for the prince's pity and even a little guilt!

Zhu Biao nodded weakly and looked at Mu Ying, "Where is the fourth child? Why don't you see the fourth child and Lan Yu?"

Mu Ying was slightly stunned, thinking anxiously about how to report to Zhu Biao.

"Prince, King Yan has driven the new army generals from the four towns back to the court. He is leading an army of 650,000 and is heading south. It may have reached the Great Wall." Lu Ben couldn't wait to say.

Mu Ying glanced at Lu Ben from the corner of her eye and frowned immediately.

Zhu Biao frowned, but did not look at Lu Ben. He stared at Mu Ying and asked, "Brother, what on earth is going on?"

He didn't believe what Lu Ben said.

Mu Ying and Lu Ben.

He even wanted to know from Mu Ying what happened during the coma.

Mu Ying was already very regretful. Lu Ben had taken the lead just now. Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Ben to add fuel to the fire and sow discord. "Prince, the news that you were seriously injured and unconscious was sent back to the court. According to the news brought by the imperial doctor, a group of officials in Jinling City , gentry, and scholars shouted and killed Miss Miaoyun and her son, and even used gunpowder at the gate of the Zhu Mansion..."

Zhu Biao's expression changed instantly, "How dare they...ahem..."

He spoke angrily, became emotional, and suddenly coughed repeatedly.

Mu Ying stopped in a hurry and went to help Zhu Biao.

After Zhu Biao calmed down, he raised his hand to stop Mu Ying from helping.

He knew very well why those people made things difficult for Miao Yun and Yong Ming while he was in coma.

Just because he was worried that something would happen to him, his father made the fourth son the crown prince.

"After the fourth child heard the news, he got angry and gathered his troops to go south..."

He understood the purpose of Laosi's move, which was to intimidate those who were ready to act blindly.

During the inquiry, Zhu Biao suddenly stopped talking and frowned and asked: "Six hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses? We only have half a million troops in total when we go to the north of the Great Wall. Where did the fourth man get 650,000 soldiers and horses?"

Mu Ying secretly smiled bitterly and answered truthfully: "In addition to the 250,000 soldiers and horses from the imperial court, the remaining 400,000 soldiers who followed Lao Si south this time were the troops recruited by Lao Si from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, as well as the tribal herdsmen and militiamen who followed Lao Si. There are hundreds of tribes heading south, with a total number of more than a million, and countless cattle, sheep, and tents..."

Seeing Zhu Biao's shock pass, Lu Ben glanced at Mu Ying, 'How dare Mu Ying hide the most critical information! ’

Immediately, he added: "Prince, King Yan did not drive the new army generals from the four towns back to the court after hearing the news about Jinling. It was not at this time that he led his troops south to defeat Beiyuan. That night, King Yan was preparing for the defeat of Beiyuan. Lead the troops to prepare for going south, and start going south in two days..."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly and remained silent...

Mu Ying clenched her fists, wishing she could kill Lu Ben with one knife. ♦♜

snort!

Lu Ben glanced at Mu Ying out of the corner of his eye and snorted proudly when he saw Zhu Biao's silence.

The chronology is wrong.

What Zhu Silang did was unreasonable!

Zhu Silang dared to do such a treacherous thing as seizing military power just by predicting what might happen in Jinling.

There is a rebellion in the back of the head, and the rebelliousness has been clearly revealed!

After a long time, Zhu Biao came back to his senses, looked at Mu Ying, and ordered: "Brother Mu Ying, immediately send someone south to the fourth child to report to the court that I have woken up. Please tell the fourth child not to do stupid things!"

Mu Ying glanced at Lu Ben, not wanting to leave at this time.

But this news should indeed be reported to the court as soon as possible.

Help calm the situation in Jinling.

As long as nothing happens to Miaoyun and her son.

The fourth child will not be impulsive.

"Yes!" After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

After explaining everything, when he turned back, he found that Lu Ben was no longer there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Biao handed the medicine bowl to the imperial doctor, waved his hand slightly, dismissed the imperial doctor, and pointed to the stool beside the bed.

When Mu Ying sat down, she asked, "I heard that there is still a pellet left in the orphan's body?"

As he spoke, he carefully raised his hand and pointed at his chest.

Seeing Mu Ying nod, she asked, "The doctor in the Fourth Army is the best at removing projectiles stuck in the bones. After the Fourth arrived, did he not let the doctor in the First Army Town help treat Gu?"

Ding!

Mu Ying's heart skipped a beat, she pondered a little, and said tactfully: "Prince, at that time, the fourth child had already predicted what might happen in Jinling, so it was understandable that he did not dare to let the army's No. 1 town doctor intervene. Moreover, the prince's wound at that time was already in the state of During the healing process, another surgical operation will cause too much damage to the prince's vitality, and it will not be conducive to the prince's fight against the evil cold..."

"All these orphans know it." Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I am just sad. The fourth child didn't show any expression. After all, he and I are estranged..."

Mu Ying was silent for a moment.

Don't know how to answer this question.

But can we blame the fourth child?

Even if he supports the prince, he can't criticize or complain about the fourth child's choice.

Moreover, he had a premonition.

This time, it may be the last time that the fourth child returns to Ming Dynasty!

No, the next time you return to the Ming Dynasty, it must be when your majesty or your empress celebrates a hundred years.

From now on, I will never return to Daming.

…

Jinling.

After several days of low ebb, shouting and killing.

A large number of people contacted urgently, and another rebound turned into a climax.

The behavior of scholars scattering small pieces of paper became more and more enthusiastic.

Some scholars even gathered together and rushed outside the Zhu Mansion in Zhuzi Lane, shouting slogans such as, 'Fan Yan, get out of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty does not welcome Fan Fan'.

The people talked a lot.

"Is King Yan really going to rebel?"

"Impossible! I don't believe that the prince will rebel. What is the purpose of the prince establishing a rural village community and the employment share system? Isn't it to improve the Ming Dynasty? If you rebel and fight, the achievements that the Ming Dynasty has achieved will be destroyed..."

"Yes, I don't believe it either! I am poor and illiterate, but I am not stupid!"

…

"I heard that there are scholars attacking King Yan's Zhu Mansion in the past few days!"

"No, during this period, even the grain and oil shops in Tuqiao Village have closed. The price of grain in Jinling City has increased by 10% in just one month!"

"We must not let anything happen to Princess Yan and the Crown Prince in Jinling City. Otherwise, King Yan will really be disappointed in our Ming Dynasty. By then, I am afraid that he will no longer care about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty!"

"But, like this, I would be heartbroken! You said, if there is no rescue from King Yan this time, I am afraid it will be a big defeat. How can we not have the hearty victory now!"

"Let's go to Prince Yan's Mansion and have a look. We can't do anything. If we refute a few words to those scholars, they will sound like stupid people. What's worse, they will pretend to be a scholar and suppress us. But we can use Take action to show your support for King Yan!"

…

While the people were talking, someone started to take action.

…

Zhu Mansion.

"Da Ya, this was sent by a group of common people just now. I rejected it vigorously for you and Shiro, but these common people dropped their things and ran away..."

Pavilion in the courtyard of the dormitory.

Uncle Eight pointed to a small basket of eggs and a few pieces of coarse cloth on the ground...

His face was full of helplessness.

Xu Da sat next to him with Jindouzi in his arms and said with a smile: "Take it. After you leave, my father will open a Jingshan Home in Jinling City in your name to help the homeless elderly and children and repay the favor." The people of Jinling, I would like to express my support to you during this difficult period..."

This time, Miaoyun mother and son were able to survive such dangerous waves without any substantial harm.

The people of Jinling have made great contributions!

They had not been bewitched before.

Now, people came to visit Zhu's house one after another to express their attitude.

Don’t look at the fact that people have no power or money.

But this attitude.

It has a great deterrent effect on officials, scholars, gentry, and merchants!

"Of course, you don't want to eat these things. It's not that I doubt the people's ulterior motives. It's just that these things sent by the people are too easy for people to manipulate. If something happens to you and your mother, many people who care about you will not only be killed. If a person acts as a gunman, he will suffer disaster."

Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile and looked at Uncle Eight.

The situation in Jinling is unstable.

She sent Shixian back.

On the evening of the second day after the explosion at the gate of the mansion, Shixian came with his eighth uncle and others.

He has been staying at the palace.

"Uncle Eighth, there has been such a big fuss this time. If we leave, those people's plans will fail and they will have nowhere to vent their resentment. It is very likely that they will target the villagers..."

Came back last year.

When they returned to the village, they told the villagers about the matter.

However, I never thought that Tuqiao Village would leave with them so soon.

The situation has developed to this point, and it is no longer possible for the villagers not to follow them.

"Silang and I have selected a piece of land in Dongfan for our Tuqiao Village. It is close to the sea, has a river passing by, and has a fertile field suitable for reclamation. There is also a mountain in the village. Although it is not as good as our Tuqiao Village, it is almost the same. Let’s rebuild a Tuqiao village in Dongfan.”

When Jilong Island was first built.

Shiro rarely used his power.

A piece of land was left.

Not far from the port.

The natural conditions are very good.

It can be used for farming and commerce.

"Sure!" Uncle Eight said cheerfully: "Anyway, our Tuqiao Village is originally a resettlement village, so we have nothing to regret..."

To say that there is any reluctance.

I'm afraid it's a family business developed in Tuqiao Village.

Newly built houses, rice mills, breweries, feedlots, granaries...

These are all achieved through hard work by the villagers.

But that's okay.

Everyone can build such a family business in Tuqiao Village.

Now every household has more capital.

Are you afraid that you won’t be able to go to Dongfan all over again?

As the saying goes, if a person removes a living tree, it will die.

Moreover, it is also close to the children.

Uncle Eighth said, hesitating slightly, "Da Ya, for the various industries built in our village, as well as the labor-employed stock trading firm opened in our village, we originally discussed that when we leave, if Taisun and we choose The greens became a pair, so they were used as a dowry of green picking and given to the great-grandson, but now..."

Xu Miaoyun was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the villagers could make such a choice.

The private-shareholding firms in Tuqiao Village spread all over Jinling and began to spread throughout Zhili.

If we continue to operate well, the future cannot be underestimated!

Such an industry.

The folks didn't think about selling.

Instead, it was given to Cai Lu and Xiong Ying.

There is emotion in it.

There is also the wisdom of the folks!

Selling can indeed bring you a fortune.

It can be used as a green dowry and given to heroes. The connection created is more valuable than money!

I have to say that over the years, the vision and experience of the folks have really become quite different.

Xu Miaoyun gathered her thoughts, smiled, and said: "Cailv must stay with the Queen, and he can't leave with us this time. Let's do this. Let Cailv take care of our business in Tuqiao Village. As for the business in Tuqiao Village, The land will be handed over to the court for disposal, Uncle Eighth, what do you think?"

"Okay, this is arranged!"

As soon as Uncle Eight finished speaking, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion turned pale and trotted over in a hurry, panting: "Master and eldest lady, news just came out from the palace that our lady and uncle's students were arrested by Shaanxi Chief Minister Meng Gonglin. , I sent cavalry to mark Zhou Biaotong and led the troops to Xi'an..."

"The entire Chief Envoy, together with the heads of Shaanxi clans and scholars, 368 people were all killed by my uncle!"

"When the villain arrived, a large number of scholars were already heading towards Hongwumen in excitement, and some scholars were rushing towards Zhuzi Lane..."

Three hundred and sixty-eight people!

Xu Da's face changed.

Turning around, he saw that his eldest girl was not nervous at all, but instead smiled.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You can still laugh!" Xu Da smiled bitterly in annoyance, "The chief envoy is from the second rank! Kill him when Shiro says!"

‘Our Shiro, we have suffered so many injustices over the years, what’s the big deal if we kill a few people who deserve to die. ’

Xu Miaoyun ventriloquised and said at the same time: "Dad, Shiro killed all the people who deserved to die."

Xu Da was helpless.

The husband singing and the wife following each other makes people a little helpless.

He stood up, stuffed the golden beans to Xu Miaoyun, and warned: "You just stay in the house..."

He had to go to the palace and see what was going on.

…

"Severely punish the murderer!"

"Please, Your Majesty, severely punish the murderer!"

"The murder in Xi'an is so heartbreaking that God cannot tolerate it!"

…

Xu Da rode all the way to the Imperial City Square in a hurry.

As far as the eye can see.

Outside Hongwu Gate, a group of scholars gathered and shouted loudly with righteous indignation.

Xu Da approached, and when the scholars saw it, they turned around instantly, swarmed up, and surrounded Xu Da.

"Wei Guogong, Zhu Silang is your son-in-law!"

"He committed such a heartbreaking and outrageous murder in Xi'an. Should he be killed?"

"Duke Wei entered the palace to protect his son-in-law?"

…

"Step aside!"

The imperial army guarding Hongwu Gate rushed over and protected Xu Da through Hongwu Gate.

After entering Hongwu Gate, Xu Da's face turned dark instantly.

These bastards actually dare to cause trouble.

Shiro dared to kill even the second-rank political envoy, so why didn't he dare to kill them?

Xu Da suppressed his anger all the way to the outside of the imperial study room.

The wide ground under the steps outside the imperial study room was already full of courtiers kneeling, each one looking like their dead parents, crying and shouting loudly.

"Your Majesty, King Yan is lawless and good at killing court officials. What do you think of his ministers?"

new

"If Your Majesty does not punish King Yan, it will chill the hearts of all the officials in the world!"

…

This group of officials were smarter than the scholars. When they saw Xu Da, they did not dare to cause trouble to Xu Da.

Xu Da went straight to the closed door of the royal study, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Xu Da, please see me!"

"Enter!"

The voice came out.

Xu Da pushed open the door and entered.

Tang He, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and six ministers were already inside.

"Rare visitor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da and was furious, this bastard!

Since coming back, Xu was angry for the fourth child, but he never entered the palace!

Xu Da laughed sarcastically and bowed in salute.

"Okay, sit down and listen." Zhu Yuanzhang glared and waved his hand to stop him.

After Xu Da thanked him, he sat down easily, and His Majesty could still laugh, scold, and joke with him, which proved that Shiro took this matter from His Majesty's heart.

At least His Majesty was not angry at Shiro's move.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da sitting down and said: "Your son-in-law, our bastard son, discovered that many people in the Shaanxi Chief Envoy Department were secretly colluding with Bei Yuan for smuggling. Although Meng Gonglin was only corrupt, he deserved to die! The fourth child and the others deserved it. Fighting for the imperial court at the front, Meng Gonglin is just corrupt in the rear. He also detains Lao Si’s students without any reason and stabs the soldiers in the front. We must kill such people..."

"The fourth child is just too impulsive, but it's understandable. After the war, he hasn't come out of the war state yet. It's understandable..."

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.

Some people want to refute, but they dare not.

Your Majesty has made it clear that he is conniving with King Yan.

"You all tell me, how should this matter be resolved?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone.

Everyone also understood that the so-called solution required them to think about how to suppress the opposition from outside.

It's not about letting them think about how to punish King Yan.

Don't misunderstand His Majesty's intentions.

…

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At the same time, outside the Hongwu Gate, Ji Gang, his face pale, galloped over on his horse and shouted at the same time: "The King of Yan is conducting a drill, and the 650,000-strong army has arrived in Zhangbei!"

…

Ji Gang galloped into the palace through the passage that the scholar had left.

A group of scholars were left in a daze.

Someone was the first to come to his senses, his voice trembling: "How many thousands did Jin Yiwei Jigang say just now?"

"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"

"The imperial court's northern expedition totaled 500,000 troops, but it lost 160,000 to 70,000. Even if King Yan seizes military power, it will still be less than 500,000, right?"

"How come there are 650,000!"

"Is it a mistake?"

…

A group of scholars looked at each other with twinkling eyes and slightly pale faces.

…

Outside the Imperial Study Room.

The kneeling officials saw Ji Gang trotting into the imperial study and disappearing from sight.

Suddenly they looked at each other.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand?"

"Where did Zhu Silang get so many soldiers and horses?"

…

Everyone in the imperial study room was also shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at the letter, but his eyes were getting worse and worse. He was shocked and curious, and asked directly and eagerly: "Where did Silang get the 650,000 troops?"

Others also stared at Ji Gang eagerly.

Ji Gang knelt on the ground, and his body trembled slightly when he heard the words.

He is afraid!

Dare to be afraid!

King Zhu Di of Yan could actually call on millions of herdsmen to follow him!

"Your Majesty, among them there are 250,000 imperial troops and 400,000 Northern Yuan soldiers and herdsmen militiamen who followed King Yan southward. In addition, there are hundreds of tribes who followed King Yan southward. It is said that the number of herdsmen is as high as There are millions of them, countless cattle, sheep, and tents..."

hiss!

There was a gasp.

Everyone was shocked by Zhu Di's appeal on the grassland.

The population of the entire grassland is only seven to eight million, right?

King Zhu Di of Yan could lead more than one million prairie people to follow and pledge their allegiance based on his own prestige alone?

This is nearly 20% of the population of the grassland!

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Zhu stood up suddenly, his voice a little panicked, "The King of Yan has 400,000 herdsmen and militiamen under his command. These troops and horses are too unstable. I kindly ask your Majesty to tell the King of Yan that the marching drill is enough, and there is no need to conduct a simulation drill of attacking the Great Wall..."

Millions of herders.

Four hundred thousand herdsmen and militiamen!

It all depends on the personal prestige and leadership of King Yan.

Too dangerous.

If something unexpected happened to King Yan during this period, it would most likely cause a mess that would be difficult to deal with.

For example, this group of herdsmen and militiamen rushed across the Great Wall and into the Central Plains.

Moreover, this shock caused by those who hate King Yan must end as soon as possible.

Something is wrong with Princess Yan and her son.

Even if the 250,000 imperial troops and horses controlled by King Yan do not follow King Yan.

Four hundred thousand herdsmen troops will also follow King Yan.

With the powerful combat power of the first army town, as long as the Great Wall Pass is broken through, King Yan can lead 400,000 cavalry into the Ming Dynasty!

If coupled with King Yan’s ability to lead troops...

The more Zhao Zhu thought about it, the colder he felt all over his body, "This time, King Yan has worked hard and made great sacrifices in the first army town. The court should send officials to commend King Yan. I think that the title should be restored to King Yan. At the same time, the first army town has made great sacrifices." A town has suffered such great losses for the imperial court and has made such outstanding contributions. Pensions and military pay should be doubled as compensation..."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

…

Several other ministers agreed with trembling voices.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Zhu and others.

Zhao Zhu is the most neutral person, and he is not used to offering a generous reward to the fourth child at this moment.

But I didn't expect that even the hostile faction would become frightened after hearing about Lao Si's appeal on the grassland, as well as the 400,000 herdsmen and militiamen and millions of herdsmen.

He gathered his thoughts and looked at Liu Bowen and others: "What about you? What do you think Zhao Zhu proposes?"

Liu Bowen smiled bitterly.

Produced the Xi'an massacre.

Mobilize 400,000 herdsmen and militiamen to march north of the Great Wall.

King Yan did these things step by step.

After coming back to his senses, he clasped his fists: "I think these rewards are natural for King Yan!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

…

Li Shanchang, Tang He and others all agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang took another deep look. The coldness in the eyes of several people who were hostile to Zhu Di in the minister's book flashed away and he ordered, "In this case, you go and discuss it with the officials kneeling outside. If they all agree, we will Send the Jin Yiwei to convey the message, so that the fourth child can return to court to receive the reward."

"As you command!"

After Liu Bowen received the decree, he and Li Shanchang left with six ministers.

Go outside the imperial study and explain to all the officials the origin of Zhu Di's 650,000 troops.

"Four hundred thousand?"

"Zhu Si... King Yan was able to mobilize 400,000 herdsmen and militia and one million herdsmen? How is this possible!"

…

Liu Bowen looked at the officials with shocked faces and unconcealed fear in their eyes.

Done!

Say something secretly.

He said unhurriedly: "Zhao Shangshu believes that the King of Yan and the First Army Town have worked hard in this battle. The King of Yan should restore his title. At the same time, the salary and pension of the First Army Town should be compensated several times. What do you think? What do you think? If so. Only if you agree, Your Majesty will send Jin Yiwei to send a message to King Yan."

"As for the matter in Guanzhong, the Jin Yiwei report mentioned that someone was smuggling to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The chief envoy Meng Gonglin was not only corrupt during the Northern Expedition of King Yan, but also stabbed in the back during the Northern Expedition of King Yan for the imperial court..."

All the officials felt as if they had eaten flies.

Such a big tragedy in Xi'an.

Treat these officials like slaves and slaughter them.

Is that all there is to it?

How about that?

Zhu Silang... Among the army currently controlled by King Yan, 400,000 are prairie people influenced by his personal prestige!

Originally, everyone was not afraid of King Yan.

It is believed that as long as King Yan is forced to rebel, there will definitely not be too many Qiu Ba among the imperial troops to follow King Yan in rebellion.

But now, people don't need to rely on the imperial troops at all.

With its ability to command troops.

Four hundred thousand grassland herders militiamen.

Isn’t this Han Xin’s idea of ​​having more troops, the better!

‘Millions…millions of herdsmen…’

When the officials thought of this number, they couldn't help but feel cold.

"Master Zhao's suggestion is very good!"

"I didn't expect Shaanxi Chief Minister Meng Gonglin and Shaanxi officials to be so evil and deserve to be killed!"

"The King of Yan has fought against traitors for the country and deserves to be rewarded!"

…

After someone started speaking, all the officials immediately changed their tune.

Li Shanchang stood behind, watching this funny scene, he couldn't help but smile, shook his head, turned and left.

King Zhu Di of Yan is so clever!

All the officials were frightened and did not dare to make any more trouble.

How dare the gentry and scholars outside continue to cause trouble?

…

snort!

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Liu Bowen's report, he snorted coldly and looked at Ji Gang who had been kneeling on the ground: "Send the Jin Yiwei to summon Zhu Di and ask him to command the first army town and return to the court to be rewarded."

‘The King of Yan made such a big fuss, seized military power, massacred the Chief Envoy, and shocked the world. Such treason, not only was he not punished, but he was also rewarded? ’

Ji Gang was immediately dumbfounded.

What’s even more ridiculous is that in the past period of time, people were shouting and killing.

Now he actually supports generous rewards to King Yan.

'A bunch of bastards! ’

Ji Gang cursed secretly and loudly accepted the order: "Follow the order!"

Then, he left in a hurry.

…

The news quickly spread in Jinling City.

"The King of Yan's 650,000-strong army is conducting drills!"

"400,000 of them are grassland herders and militiamen!"

"I heard that there are millions of tribal herdsmen who followed King Yan south!"

"The imperial court wants to reward King Yan generously. Your Majesty is so wise!"

…

"Dear classmates, I am not going to participate in this year's autumn festival."

"I want to travel around the world to study."

"Go together, go together..."

…

On that day, countless scholars gathered in Jinling, waiting for the exam to start in autumn, and hurriedly packed up their things and left Jinling.

At the same time, there were also gentry and businessmen who left Jinling...

Zhu Yuanzhang received the news soon.

snort!

He snorted coldly and looked at Liu Bowen, "Are there many candidates who left?"

These people are obviously afraid that the fourth child will come back to settle the score!

Liu Bowen smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid this autumn will have to be cancelled. It is estimated that at least 90% of the scholars have left, and the gentry and merchants have also found various reasons to leave Jinling. The entire city of Jinling has lost nearly tens of thousands of people in one day!"

The dignitaries, generals, gentry, and merchants almost left Jinling with their families and families today.

Officials can't leave.

I also arranged for my family to leave.

This is obviously because he is afraid that when King Yan comes back, he will liquidate them one by one according to the Xi'an method!

With the power of one person, he shocked the world!

Unexpectedly, he would see such a scene in his lifetime.

Liu Bowen was sighing and sighing.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand, "Then we will announce to the outside world that although the war is over this year, there are still many follow-up things, and Qiu Wei has been cancelled."

After Liu Bowen leaves.

Ha ha……

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and laughed heartily.

After this incident.

As long as the fourth child lives for one day, no one will dare to rebel against the Ming Dynasty!

…

A few days later.

Jiang 𤩽 came to Zhang Beicheng in person.

See Zhu Di again.

Jiang 𤩽 was filled with emotions.

Although he is in Peiping, he also knows the news about Jinling.

As the news of the massacre in Xi'an and the march of King Yan's 650,000 troops southward reached Jinling, not only did the shouts of beatings and killings cease.

The people who shouted about beating and killing began to ask for credit from King Yan.

How ridiculous, how funny!

It is said that as scholars, gentry, and merchants fled away in panic, the entire city of Jinling suddenly became deserted.

This time, the farce in Jinling not only did not cause any substantial damage to King Yan.

On the contrary, it also tested the attitude of the people of the world towards King Yan.

The entire elite of the Ming Dynasty all witnessed with their own eyes the methods and coercion of King Yan Zhu Di!

…

Jiang 𤩽 forced himself to collect his thoughts, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty and the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty, please lead the first army to return to the dynasty to receive the reward."

call!

The sound of long exhales suddenly sounded one after another.

When Lan Yu, Zhu Xi and others heard the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at Jiang Wei, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Tell the court that millions of tribal people have not yet been resettled. I need time and cannot return to the court for the time being."

Jiang 𤩽's face was slightly solemn.

What is this for!

Don't want to stop?

The corner of his lips moved, and as soon as the words of persuasion came to his lips, he saw Zhu Di frowning slightly, his heart tightened, and he quickly changed his words: "Yes, I will send someone to convey the prince's request to the court immediately."

…

The offense and defense suddenly flipped.

After the news spread that Zhu Di refused to return to the court and continued to lead troops to camp outside the Great Wall.

All the officials in Jinling panicked.

He began to play non-stop, asking for credit for Zhu Di.

The rewards are getting richer and richer.

When the news reached Zhang Bei, Zhu Di remained unmoved.

He just told the court that millions of herdsmen had not yet been resettled and could not return to the court.

After the news came that Zhu Biao was awake.

Zhu Di was no longer in a hurry.

Directly leading 400,000 herdsmen and cavalry, they set out from Zhangbei and headed west to the Hetao area.

The Ming Dynasty defenders on the border between Yan'an Prefecture and Datong Prefecture were frightened to the point of trembling with fear.

…

Jilong Island.

Iron smelting workshop.

Yu Jing had just returned to Dongfan with a group of prisoners when he was taken to the iron smelting workshop by Jiang Jinzhong.

Yu Jing looked at a giant 'iron bucket' that was almost two feet tall, rolled up from several sections of iron sheet, and about one foot in diameter. There were also iron ladders built around the iron bucket!

Isn’t this a waste?

Do you know how much iron was consumed under the prince’s rule?

Not angry, he turned around and said, "Lao Jiang, you just want to show me this thing. What is this thing? Why is it so hot?"

hey-hey……

Jiang Jinzhong smiled proudly and nodded to Master Yetie.

The craftsman took an iron hook and hooked it on a small fist-sized door at the bottom of the 'iron bucket'.

As Yu Jing watched, the craftsman used an iron rod to poke into the small door...

At a certain moment, Yu Jing's eyes suddenly widened.

The red, high-temperature viscous liquid slowly flows out from the small hole.

Follow the drainage groove below and flow into the shaping grooves one by one.

The close distance and the high temperature made Yu Jing's face sting slightly. His face turned red and he turned around, shouting excitedly: "Iron! Old Chiang, is this something for making iron?"

Jiang Jinzhong nodded and said with a proud smile: "This is a new iron-making furnace built by our iron smelting workshop based on the original clay furnace. It can smelt a thousand catties of iron at a time! Moreover, this kind of furnace will not be like clay furnace." It’s the same as making iron in a furnace. If it’s damaged frequently, it will last a long time!”

…

They need iron everywhere in Dongpan.

The clay stoves built in the iron smelting workshop could not keep up with the ones that burned out.

"This kind of furnace has a layer of clay crucible inside, which is very resistant to high temperatures. The craftsmen estimate that such a blast furnace will not break down after more than ten years of use. In the future, no matter how much iron we need, as long as we build bigger and higher ones, more of them will A blast furnace will do!”

"When His Majesty comes to visit our south, he will definitely be shocked when he comes to see our blast furnace!"

Yu Jing suddenly laughed.

"Master Jiang, Controller Yu..."

Just when Yu Jing was about to speak, there was a rush from behind.

Yu Jing and the other two turned around and saw Ye Mao coming in a hurry.

The two of them couldn't help but be surprised.

Ye Mao was in Fujian, why did he come to Dongfan?

After Ye Mao got closer, he panted: "Hurry! Something happened to the prince..."

I heard that Ye Mao introduced that outside Fujian, gentry and scholars from all over the country were shouting and killing Zhu Di.

Jiang Jinzhong and Yu Jing suddenly looked embarrassed.

…

same day.

Three hundred naval warships, plus the First Mixed Association, half the strength of the Association set off.

Also setting off on the journey were members of the Military Intelligence Department under Commander Mao Xiang.

When Yu Jing set out.

At the same time, in the name of Zhu Di, he requested Fujian maritime merchants to come with him.

Nearly six hundred ships, large and small, without any cargo, sailed north along the coastline at the fastest speed.

…

Jinling.

royal palace.

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the edge of the couch, rubbed his knees, and said: "Get ready, let's take you to Peking..."

Ma Xiuying was slightly stunned, then put down the book in her hand, "Go to see Biao'er, or go to see Laosi?"

"Look! It's mainly the fourth child." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly, "We have a feeling that the fourth child will definitely not return to Jinling. He will go to sea directly from the Hebei prisoner of war camp and leave our Ming Dynasty."

He only realized this when Lao Si refused to return to the court for the third time.

"This time, there are some damn things in our Ming Dynasty that really chilled the fourth child!" Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his hands tightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

After a long time, he sighed silently, "Now that I'm gone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again in the future!"

Once the fourth child leaves, unless he and Xiuying are critically ill, they may never come back again.

Ma Xiuying's hand holding the book couldn't help but clenched slightly...

What was supposed to come finally came.

Perhaps, apart from birth, old age, illness and death, the only time I can see my fourth child again is when Chongba goes on a tour to southern Fujian.

…

The next day.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang's southern tour, the news that he would take the lead in the northern tour spread in Jinling...

Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

The Hongwu murder case, prepared to be left to Zhu Di, is also the biggest climax of the book
