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

"Before your Majesty's southern tour, you must take the lead in the northern tour!"

"The King of Yan has not come back for such a long time. His Majesty's northern tour must be to appease the King of Yan."

"If I were the King of Yan, I would also be disappointed. The King of Yan commands his own private soldiers to fight for the court. But look at the shouting and killing of the King of Yan during this period in Jinling City."

"And those scholars who shouted, 'Yan Fan is not welcome in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Fan should get out of the Ming Dynasty', are really hateful!"

"Do you think that after this incident, will King Yan return to our Ming Dynasty?"

…

After hearing the news about Zhu Yuanzhang's northern tour, the people expressed their support one after another.

in discussion.

After this, will Zhu Di return to Ming Dynasty?

If something happens to Daming, will Zhu Di still help?

Gradually becoming the mainstream of popular discussion.

…

After hearing the public discussion, officials expressed cynicism and concern in private.

What's the best thing about not coming back! ’, ‘The Northern Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty no longer has any worries. The Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. Does it need the help of King Yan? ’, ‘His Majesty, King Yan, must not be shameless in the future and seek help from the Ming Dynasty! ’ Yunyun.

In addition to ridicule.

All the officials were also uneasy.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order.

On this northern tour, all officials in the DPRK and Central Government will follow him.

Many officials now want to avoid Zhu Di, for fear of getting in front of Zhu Di and being chopped by Zhu Di.

How dare you take the initiative to get in front of Zhu Di.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's order made no one dare to disobey it.

…

Although the situation is calm.

The public discussion is even more lively.

On the contrary, the Zhu Mansion was extremely calm, and the Imperial Guards had withdrawn.

Uncle Eighth and others are also preparing to return to the village.

July and August are the busy farming season.

Xu Miaoyun took Jindouzi and personally sent Uncle Eighth and others back to the village.

Before leaving, Xu Miaoyun warned: "Eighth Uncle, after we go back, fellow villagers, don't be anxious. While harvesting in the autumn, you can slowly clean up. When winter comes, you will have almost everything done. Send us a message, and Shiro will send us Yan Fan The naval warship will return to Jinling to pick you up..."

within a short period of time.

Even if they are gone.

Those who hate them will definitely not dare to make things difficult for the villagers.

Three hundred and sixty-eight bloody heads.

Those people will be reminded of the lesson of the bloodbath of the entire Chief Envoy Yamen.

Uncle Eighth and others said with a cheerful smile: "Okay, the weather is hot, Da Ya, please take our little Golden Douzi back soon..."

…

A few days later.

Outside the gate of Zhu's Mansion.

Xu Miaoyin held Xiao Jindouzi and stood beside the carriage with Wu Yunqige and others, looking at Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun locked the door of the mansion herself, stepped back a few steps, and looked up at the plaque hanging on the door of the mansion...

Xu Da stood beside her, and when he saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but feel sour. After the big girl left this time, it would be difficult to see her again.

From a family perspective, he naturally didn't want the eldest girl and the others to leave.

But from the perspective of the actual situation, he strongly supports Shiro and the others in leaving Daming.

I went to Fujian to observe and take a trip to the sea, and saw the prosperity of Dongfan.

Witnessed the vastness of the world.

The world outside is huge.

With the ability of Shiro and the big girl, they can completely leave the Ming Dynasty and not be fettered by the Ming Dynasty. That is how the sea is wide and the fish can jump, and the sky is high and the birds can fly!

Perhaps in the future, although Shilang, Daya, Yongming, Qihua, and Jindouzi will not be seen.

But within the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe you can hear about the feats that their family of four has done overseas that shocked the world.

Tell everyone in Ming Dynasty with the facts.

Daming and Shiro lost each other, who suffered the greater loss?

"Dad."

Xu Da's thoughts were interrupted and he looked...

Xu Miaoyun turned around and handed the key to Xu Da with a smile, "Please help Silang and I give the key to the Zhu Mansion to our father."

Xu Da lowered his head and looked at the key in Xu Miaoyun's hand.

Hand over the key to Zhu's mansion.

In fact, it is a subtle statement that he will not return to Ming Dynasty in the future.

Even if they come back, they will be like those foreign envoys.

Lived in the Huitong Pavilion where the imperial court entertained envoys.

The vassal princes all had their own palaces in Beijing, which were actually offices.

For Shiro and the others to give up this Zhu Mansion would mean a complete severance.

Make it clear to the entire Ming Dynasty that from now on, their family has nothing to do with the succession of the Ming Dynasty's crown prince!

This girl.

In the past few years, seeing Shiro working in the Ming Dynasty, being hampered and wronged everywhere, I am afraid he has wanted to do this for a long time, right?

This time, Shiro will no longer have to worry about leaving.

Xu Da collected his thoughts and took the key with a smile: "Okay, my father will help you with this matter."

Xu Miaoyun smiled.

Everyone got on the carriage and headed to the Imperial City Square outside Hongwu Gate to meet Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

…

When the mighty motorcade left the city.

Qihua and Yongming, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied Xu Miaoyun in the carriage.

Maybe it's because nearly two years have passed and I'm getting older.

Or maybe I have grown a lot through this experience.

Although there were people standing outside, Xiao Qihua sat obediently next to Xu Miaoyun. She did not curiously raise the curtain to look at the lively scene outside like when she returned to Beijing in the 16th year of Hongwu's reign.

…

On both sides of the street, the onlookers watched the carriages passing by, looking for something and talking in low voices.

"Which carriage is Princess Yan's?"

"I don't know, I don't know, after Princess Yan goes north, will she return to Jinling? Will she return to our Ming Dynasty in the future?"

"Princess, will King Yan return to our Ming Dynasty?"

…

The whispers gradually turned into shouts and inquiries.

Inside the carriage.

Xiao Qihua raised her head and looked at Xu Miaoyun, "Mother, are we no longer able to go back to Ming Dynasty to visit the imperial grandfather, imperial grandmother, grandpa, and aunt?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and rubbed the top of Xiao Qihua's hair, "Of course you and your brother can come back because your grandfather, grandfather, and grandmother can come back. When your eldest brother and Senior Sister Cailu get married, you have to replace your father and mother. Come back from a trip..."

"Mom, my eldest brother is getting married to Senior Sister Cailu. Can't you and dad come back?" Xiao Qihua stared at Xu Miaoyun with big eyes.

Xu Miaoyun was speechless for a moment...

Can?

She couldn't predict what would happen five or six years later.

She and Shiro personally raised and taught Xiongying for several years, and Cailu was their student.

They get married.

She and Shiro would definitely want to come back to witness it.

But who can predict how the situation will develop in five or six years.

"Mother..."

"Mom, eldest brother and senior sister are getting married. What kind of gift are you and dad going to give to eldest brother and senior sister?" Xiao Qihua just asked, but Yong Ming was more thoughtful and knowledgeable, so he changed the subject with a smile.

Sure enough, Xiao Qihua was successfully changed the topic, "Mom, what kind of gift are we going to give to my eldest brother? My eldest brother will definitely be his grandson by then. This gift must be big and shocking..."

The little girl stretched out her two little arms and made exaggerated gestures.

…

Front carriage window.

Zhu Yunwen turned his head back, his face a little ugly. Why were all the people shouting and asking if the fourth uncle and his family were going to leave the Ming Dynasty completely.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty can't survive without the fourth uncle!

The emperor's grandfather is now in charge of the Ming Dynasty.

The future is his father!

It has nothing to do with Fourth Uncle!

"Mom, are Zhu Qihua and the others leaving? If they leave this time, will Zhu Qihua not come back?"

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen's eyes flashed with anxiety.

In fact, he didn't want to go north either.

I was worried that Zhu Qihua would file a complaint after seeing his fourth uncle.

That day, news came that his father was seriously injured and unconscious, and he tore up Zhu Qihua's Diamond Sutra.

It's strange that that crazy girl Zhu Qihua didn't go to the imperial grandfather to complain.

None of the other imperial uncles or aunts made any announcement about this matter.

He actually muddled through.

But what if Zhu Qihua files a complaint when he goes north to see his fourth uncle?

…

Lu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your fourth uncle and fourth aunt will most likely not return to the Ming Dynasty, but you children will definitely still travel between the Ming Dynasty and Yan Fan, for example, Qihua and Yongming On behalf of your fourth uncle and four aunts, you will come back to visit our Ming Dynasty, and your eldest brother and you will visit Yan Fan on behalf of the Ming Dynasty..."

According to Zhu Laosi's method of creating a murder in Xi'an.

And the discussion outside.

The possibility of Zhu Laosi and Xu Daya coming back is very small.

However, she believes that there will still be movement between the two families.

However, from now on, the juniors will move around instead of the elders.

After all, in the future, Yan Fan and Ming Dynasty will be two carriages, two forces, and two courts!

Zhu Yunwen was a little unhappy when he heard that Qihua would come back.

He felt uncomfortable when he saw the emperor's grandfather and everyone liked Zhu Qihua.

But he was happy during this time.

During this period, except for a few people such as the emperor's grandfather, the emperor's grandmother, his mother's concubine and the princess, they all loved Zhu Qihua and Zhu Yongming as always.

Everyone else was avoiding Zhu Qihua and Zhu Yongming.

Wait until my father becomes emperor.

He is the prince!

When the time comes, Zhu Qihua returns to the court and becomes the princess of Xiaobang, and he will be able to steadily dominate Zhu Qihua!

"Mom, when I grow up, I will represent my father and visit Yan Fan!"

…

In Concubine Yang's carriage.

Concubine Yang put down the curtain, her embarrassment flashed across her face, and she turned to look at Zhu Quan, "Quan'er, after you go north to meet your fourth brother, you must get close to your fourth brother..."

She also didn't expect that the situation would develop to the current situation.

Your Majesty will personally patrol the north to appease the fourth child.

And the people are even more worried that Lao Si will completely leave the Ming Dynasty.

When she heard that the prince was seriously injured and unconscious, and the court immediately targeted the fourth child, she thought that Zhu and the fourth family were doomed this time.

For herself and her son, of course she didn't dare to let Quan'er get too close to Qihua and Yong Ming.

Never thought...

Now Zhu Laosi, the second-generation descendant of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, is about to grow into a towering tree.

Brothers of the Zhu family, whoever can rely on them will benefit a lot in the future.

Not to mention too far.

Nearby, if Quan'er wants to train the vassal and vassal king's guards, he will need Fugun and a training advisory group. I heard from Lao Shisan and his mother and concubine that Lao Shisan and the others have already made an agreement with Zhu Laosi.

Zhu Laosi will provide them with all-round support and help!

She comes from a womanly family.

Everyone knows how powerful the Army’s First Town showed in this battle!

Zhu Quan turned his head to the side in frustration and whispered: "Mom, when you met Yong Ming that day, you didn't even say hello. When I met the fourth brother, I didn't have the shame to get close to the fourth brother."

…

Everyone had different thoughts, and with the people paying attention and discussing, they left the city in great numbers.

Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial chariot had just left the city gate.

Ji Gang chased him out of the city on horseback. Amid everyone's curious attention, he came to the imperial chariot and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from Fujian Jinyiwei eight hundred miles away. Ten days ago, the chief envoy Ye Mao left Fujian and went to the east. One day later, Dongfan issued an order to the Fujian maritime merchants in the name of King Yan to requisition all the warships of the merchants. It was reported that the entire Dongfan navy was dispatched, with a total of more than 600 large and small ships. On the mighty journey north..."

Inside the royal chariot.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked at each other.

Everyone understood what Dongfan Navy's action meant.

It must have been in the Ming Dynasty that the shouts of beating and killing Lao Si reached Fujian, and Ye Mao sent the news to Dongfan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very uncomfortable mood.

It's not that he was annoyed by Toban's navy's behavior.

Instead, he was annoyed by the behavior of the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, which caused harm to the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the fourth Yan vassal.

From now on, he has no shame in letting Lao Si gang Da Ming again.

Biao'er might have to pay a huge price if he wants Lao Si to help him!

Perhaps this situation will be alleviated only when the hero comes.

"Inform the Coast Guards and find a way to contact Yu Jing, ask him to lead the fleet to Hebei, and tell Yu Jing about our northern patrol..."

"yes!"

Ji Gang's order had just come in.

"Wait!" Zhu Yuanzhang added: "Go to Princess Yan and ask for a warrant."

Although Yu Jing was a general born in the Ming Dynasty.

Still the Yu family.

But he couldn't guarantee that Yu Jing could still order him now.

Obviously, the shouting and killing inside the Ming Dynasty really angered the Dongfan group.

Ji Gang was slightly stunned.

After receiving the order, he came to Xu Miaoyun's carriage and explained his intention.

Xu Miaoyun raised the curtain, took off the jade pendant from Yong Ming's waist, and handed it to Ji Gang, "Give this jade pendant to Yu Jing. No order is needed. Yu Jing will know what to do when he sees this jade pendant."

Yong Ming always carries this jade pendant with him.

In order to develop the navy, Yu Jing often took Yong Ming to sea.

Get to know Yongming, this jade pendant.

Ji Gang looked deeply at Yong Ming and said, "Yes!"

He respectfully took the jade pendant and left.

This toss.

The news came quickly.

"It's too presumptuous! Zhu Si... King Yan just suffered a little injustice, and all the naval warships of Yan Fan came out at once. It's too presumptuous!"

"In the future, if our Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain state, makes Yan Fan dissatisfied even a little bit, they will go to war!"

…

A strong sense of fear can be heard among the angry discussions among the officials.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang is heading north.

Zhu Di continued, beheading first and then reporting, and divided pastures for various tribes south of Yinshan Mountain.

The news came that Zhu Biao had woken up.

After the situation in Jinling stabilized.

It was confirmed that Xu Miaoyun, mother and son were fine.

Zhu Di completely devoted himself to the planning and construction of the demonstration area.

They even drafted an outline of a grassland rural village community as quickly as possible.

Moreover, we found a dozen small tribes with a population ranging from three to four hundred people, and began to build a rough framework based on this outline of a rural village community suitable for nomadic people.

This outline was quickly improved and adjusted through the herdsmen's personal experiences.

He did this not entirely for the demonstration area north of the Great Wall and south of the Yinshan Mountains.

We are also summarizing experience for Dongfan.

Dongfan will next conquer Luzon, Srivijaya and other countries.

Although these places are agricultural societies.

But the people in these places also have similarities with the people on the grasslands.

First of all, they are all people from a foreign land, and he needs to have experience in dealing with people from a foreign land.

Secondly, the level of civilization is not high.

…

These experiences are very important for a force like Yan Fan that wants to open up territories in foreign lands overseas.

It was a fulfilling day, and as darkness fell, everyone was at leisure.

After bonfire dinner.

Zhu Di and Zhu Xi walked on the lush and soft grass under the moonlight, letting the cool breeze blow by on the grassland night.

"Second brother, what have you learned these days?" Zhu Di broke the silence.

Zhu Xi smiled angrily and glared at Zhu Di, "Tired!"

In the past few days, the brothers, under the instigation of the fourth child, participated in the establishment of a rural village community in the grassland.

Not to mention how tired I am.

There are a lot of troubles, big and small, which are even more tiring than this Northern Expedition.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "If you become an emperor and want to be a good emperor, you will be even more tired than this..."

coming!

Zhu Ping said secretly.

He knew that if the fourth child took him out alone, he would definitely talk about this matter again.

If it were anyone else, even the eldest brother, he wouldn't listen.

But fourth child, he is willing to listen.

"Fourth brother, do you think that if the eldest brother becomes the emperor, the relationship between Yan Fan and Ming Dynasty can really be harmonious?" Zhu Xi stared at Zhu Di closely, "I am very pessimistic about this!"

He hadn't felt it before.

But this time the northern expedition is underway.

Some of Big Brother’s actions.

And after the eldest brother fell into coma, the upper echelons of the Central Plains yelled at the fourth brother to kill him.

Combined with each other, it is not difficult to speculate.

In the future, even if Lao Si retreats overseas, it will be impossible for Yan Fan and Ming Dynasty to be harmonious.

Moreover, if Yan Fan develops too well,

People here in Ming Dynasty are very likely to get pinkeye!

Keep it safe, there will be many people showing all kinds of shameless faces.

Zhu Di was in a trance...

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "You are not confident about the future or getting along with Daming!"

Zhu Di's thoughts were interrupted, he regained consciousness and smiled, "It's nothing, we can still bite our tongues with our upper and lower teeth, not to mention two forces and two countries, struggle and communication can coexist at the same time."

He never lacks confidence in the future.

"Second brother, let go, you can't beat the eldest brother." Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xi seriously.

The eldest brother himself is very capable and has a very stable strategic determination!

Moreover, the eldest brother's advantages are too strong.

to be honest.

Even now, if he stays in the Ming Dynasty to compete for the throne, he may not be able to defeat his elder brother!

He has the foundation of Dongfan, but his eldest brother has never expressed clear support for the New Deal, especially the employment-based shareholding system. His eldest brother clearly opposed it and spread it to the whole country, giving hope to many elites in the Ming Dynasty. They all hope that after his eldest brother ascends the throne, he can promote the Ming Dynasty. The New Deal changed things.

new

Even he, except in the form of war, has no chance.

Not to mention the second brother.

The second brother's only chance is the death disaster in the history of the eldest brother.

But history has changed beyond recognition.

Will Big Brother still be like history?

He doesn't think so.

Zhu Ping was silent.

Don't say he can't see hope.

After Lao Si attacked Yuerhai and defeated Bei Yuan, Yao Guangxiao was depressed for a long time.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Xi and continued walking forward. After a while, when Zhu Xi caught up with him, he said as he walked, "Second brother, the Ming Dynasty is small, but the world is huge! There is no need to focus on the Ming Dynasty. Father mentioned, I want to increase the number of troops for you vassal kings..."

Zhu Xiang's eyes widened immediately, "Fourth, father, do you even say such things to you?"

I’m afraid the eldest brother doesn’t even know about this, right?

Zhu Di was helpless.

The point of what he said.

Did it shock Zhu Laoer? !

"According to my father's plan, we need to further mobilize troops from your father-in-law's direct lineage and give you three guards. With three guards, there is no problem in reorganizing two new armies in the two towns."

"It is said that the areas east of the Yu'er Sea and north of Liaodong are the territories of the Jurchens. The imperial court is unable to effectively rule these places. Don't you want to explore these areas?"

"Where is the east of the Jurchens' territory? It is said to be the sea, but what about the east of the sea..."

He hopes that his second brother can develop in this direction.

He also spoke to other brothers, including the third brother, during this period.

In this battle, Mobei and the others only fought as far as Khalkha, and were unable to reach further north. At the beginning of the northern expedition, the imperial court did not think of fighting further north.

The nomadic people in the north are not strong.

…

"After leaving Daming this time and returning to Dongfan, I will use troops abroad..."

Zhu Xi listened carefully.

Of course he envied the fourth child.

Can……

He knows very well that starting a business is difficult!

The fourth child has the ability to create his current legacy without relying on his father.

But do these brothers have the ability of the fourth child?

Even if my father gives them three more guards, they can form two new armies in two towns.

But what about the future?

How much more support can you give?

With the new troops in the two towns alone, the conditions are countless times better than when Lao Si started his career.

But there is no support from logistics, food and salary, and money.

To be honest, he didn't have confidence.

Even if there is no chance to seize the throne.

It seems that it is better to stay in Peiping and be his vassal king, okay?

If you give up the vassal king and leave the Ming Dynasty, you will lose all your capital.

I'm afraid I want to go back to Ming Dynasty again.

Even if he could come back, he would become an insignificant prince with no power in his hands.

Zhu Di didn't know Zhu Ping's timidity towards the unknown and his fascination with the comfort zone. He continued: "You know how many Japanese scholars I have under my command? Now, these five Japanese scholars are leading the troops in the First Mixed Association." , several of them want to take my ideas back to Japan and complete the transformation of Japan on their own!"

…

Some of the five Japanese people respected and feared him, but they were instinctively afraid of and resisted him.

Worried that he would interfere with the Japanese state.

I am even more worried that he will annex the Japanese country in the name of his ideals.

"Fourth, you don't want to support them, do you?" Zhu Xi's eyes widened, "Japanese pirates stick to trivial matters without any great righteousness. They respected our Ming Dynasty at the beginning and betrayed them soon. This is the best proof. Don't be fooled. The Japanese pirates were fooled by their obedience!”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Yes, I will support them, but I will not be fooled by them!"

He was fooled by any group.

It’s impossible to be fooled by Japanese pirates!

When the pirates were wiped out, about a thousand Japanese pirates were captured.

This group of people has been reclaiming wasteland and building resettlement sites on Dongfan Island.

After he returned this time, he planned to train these Japanese pirates, equip them with muskets, let Ohno and others lead them, and send them back to the Japanese country by the navy.

"I won't let them succeed, and they can't succeed, but I need them to go to the Japanese country to make the war in the Japanese country even more intense. They can complete the reduction plan for me as much as possible and help me eliminate the elites of the Japanese country. I am here Just look at the reaction of the elites of our Ming Dynasty. If they want to succeed, they must kill the elites bloodyly..."

He didn't know the specific population of Japan.

However, according to estimates by Kobayakawa and others, there should be about three million.

Too much!

At least one million must die, and two million should be strived for, right?

They arranged fire blunderbuss and introduced the fire blunderbuss to the Japanese country, hoping that they would kill many people in internal fighting.

Wait until he intervenes.

In short, the entire Japanese people must be gradually dispersed.

The reason for this is not that it was influenced by the previous life.

The main reason is that the eternal lineage of the Japanese country is too dangerous and has too many hidden dangers.

Their elites must be killed, reduced, dispersed, and multi-pronged to finally completely dismantle their ever-lasting influence.

"In the future, the Japanese country will be a transit station with only a few hundred thousand immigrants. It will mainly provide services for our navy to explore eastward. Second brother, if you want to gain a foothold on the Jurchen territory, I can help you move eastward." Explore, provide support…”

The world is too big.

His main focus is south.

He really didn't have the energy to explore the American continent.

If the second brother is willing, he can provide support.

In fact, it is very easy to find the American continent, as long as you occupy the Jurchens' current territory and the Japanese country.

The Bering Strait is very narrow!

Dongfan's current naval power and maritime merchant power are fully capable of doing this!

The entire American continent, if developed, could accommodate how many people from the Central Plains!

How many vassal kings can be divided!

In the future, even these vassal kings will eventually not respect the Ming Dynasty.

That is also the territory of the Central Plains people!

Spread the civilization of the Central Plains and believe in the culture of the Central Plains!

Zhu Xi was stunned by Zhu Di's ambition and murmured: "Lao Si, you have such great ambitions, why don't you fight for reserves? With Ming Dynasty's strong foundation, your ambitions will be easier to realize, right?"

Zhu Di smiled bitterly.

His initial thought was actually to live his own little life.

It's just that I was forced to have no choice but to get to where I am now step by step.

"I said that even if I stayed in the Ming Dynasty, I couldn't compete with my eldest brother. For the sake of the throne, I would eventually destroy the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Di shook his head.

"Let second brother think about it carefully. Second brother can't give you an answer to such a big matter right now." Zhu Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The fourth child thought it was a simple matter.

Get out there, it's easy.

But the fourth child never thought about how difficult this step would be for them.

"Fourth brother, tell the second brother whether you are leaving Ming Dynasty completely, and don't give me a bad look!" Zhu Xi glared at Zhu Di.

During this period of time, the fourth child watched the brothers set up a rural village community in the grassland, and from time to time he would talk to the brothers alone.

The tendency is too obvious.

Zhu Di smiled, quickened his pace, opened his arms, and said with a smile: "Second brother, no matter how far apart we are from each other, we are still brothers. If I don't come back, you can come and see me."

Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Di's back and was lost in thought for a long time...

His eyes and nose were a little sour, and he shouted: "Then when you leave this time, can you take Shang Bing with you and teach the second brother? If the second brother is really incompetent, you can let Shang Bing do it. I hope the second brother can do it." thing!"

"good!"

…

Zhu Di and Zhu Ping talked for several days at night.

News of Zhu Yuanzhang's northern tour came.

Zhu Di immediately sent Lan Yu to deliver the news to Yu'er Neptune City.

…

Empire.

Zhu Biao's temporary residence.

Zhu Biao can already go to the ground to move around.

It was just a serious illness that made me lose weight.

"Prince, King Yan has been allocating pastures to herdsmen south of Yinshan Mountain and north of the Great Wall during this period. At the same time, he has selected some areas suitable for farming among these herdsmen's settlement sites and prepared them as resettlement sites for immigrants from the Central Plains..."

Zhu Biao walked slowly on the ground, moving his body. After hearing this, he asked: "Does the emperor agree to this idea of ​​the demonstration area?"

Lan Yu's heart tightened and she had no choice but to tell the truth, "Your Majesty is not aware of this matter yet."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, "Continue."

Lu Ben secretly clenched his fists in excitement.

Zhu Laosi is breaking a taboo!

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other, and Lan Yu continued: "The purpose of the Mongolian and Han mixed demonstration area in King Yan is very grand. For the Central Plains, it is to prosper the Central Plains economy, especially to promote the northern economy. At the same time, it is trying to annex and assimilate the area north of the Great Wall. The vast territory south of Yinshan Mountain..."

"For the grasslands north of Yinshan Mountain, we must attract the envy, obedience, and naturalization of the northern grassland tribes..."

I don’t know what the prince thinks.

In fact, he admired Zhu Laosi from the bottom of his heart. .

Such a big deal.

To be honest, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, only Zhu Laosi dared to do it and was confident that it could be done.

During this period, he witnessed with his own eyes how Zhu Laosi used more than a dozen small tribes to explore and summarize experiences.

How to teach other feudal lords step by step how to set up rural villages.

"The fourth child is leaving completely!" Zhu Biao suddenly sighed, interrupted Lan Yu's words, and muttered to himself: "He is doing the last thing for our Ming Dynasty..."

This matter is related to the Ming Dynasty's expansion of territory to the north and the complete resolution of the hidden dangers of nomadic people.

All beginnings are hard.

If Lao Si did this first without asking for permission, he would be setting the stage for Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Biao turned around and looked at Lan Yu and Mu Ying, "We are also ready to go south."

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the fourth child for the last time.

…

One month later.

When Zhu Yuanzhang's northern patrol team arrived in Hebei.

In Fengrun County, Jin Yiwei, who was responsible for contacting the prisoners of war with the Dongfan Navy, hurriedly reported that hundreds of ships of the Dongfan Navy had arrived in Tangjiazhuang (Tangshan).

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered the team to stop.

The royal driver went to Fengrun County.

Yu Jing was ordered to come and see him.

Fengrunchengtou.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his ministers stood at the top of the city and looked at a group of people approaching in formation.

The queue gradually drew closer.

"One two one!"

"One two one!"

…

A clear command sounded, accompanied by the clicking sound of footsteps.

When the officials saw the phalanx of three thousand people, their faces turned pale unnaturally.

"Is this the First Mixed Association of the Toban Army?"

"I heard that this mixed association has recruited a large number of barbarians!"

"But it looks like they are also an elite force!"

…

The officials are discussing.

Yu Jing arrived at the city with his troops, dismounted from his horse, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Yu Jing, the commander of the navy of the Yan vassal, leads the army's first mixed alliance and the first standard, and pays homage to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty!"

Snapped!

"Greetings to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty!"

Behind Yu Jing, three thousand soldiers of the First Huncheng Association stood at attention solemnly, beat their chests and saluted.

Everyone in the city suddenly looked weird.

He looked vaguely at Xu Miaoyun, mother and son.

Yan Fan... pays homage to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty!

The distinction is so clear!

More than a year ago, Zhu Si... When King Yan returned to Beijing, the First Army Town said to His Majesty, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live"!

But this time...

What a Yu Jing, who was cultivated by the Ming Dynasty, but so quickly only recognized Yan Fan and no longer recognized the Ming Dynasty!

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly and glanced coldly at the officials on the left and right from the corner of his eye.

He doesn't blame Yu Jing.

developed into the current situation.

Blame him!

Blame Daming and these bastards!

"Yu Jing, please get back on your feet!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

…

The First Mixed Association camped outside.

Mao Xiang and Yu Jing drove five carts into the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked down to the city, looked at Meng Bu's cart, pointed at it and asked, "What's in here?"

Mao Xiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is the gift I brought back to you."

As he spoke, Mao Xiang lifted the cover of a carriage next to him.

A square, oxidized, black iron embryo appeared in everyone's sight.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and everyone gathered around him.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt it with his hand and found that it was ice-cold. He was sure it was the Iron Queen and asked with a smile: "Will you send us back five cars of iron?"

"Your Majesty, these five carts of iron embryos, totaling one thousand catties, were produced in one of our iron-making furnaces. They are also the first batch of iron embryos produced by the new iron-making blast furnace in Dongpan. In the future, we plan to build at least ten iron embryos. A blast furnace like this..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and reached out to touch the iron embryo again.

Many officials didn't understand iron smelting at all. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's shocked look, they all whispered.

"Isn't it just a thousand catties? What's wrong?"

"Yes, our Ming Dynasty produces at least three to four hundred thousand catties of iron every year, right?"

…

Li Shanchang glanced at the group of colleagues behind him who only knew what was happening, "As far as I know, our Ming Dynasty's iron-making furnaces can produce up to two to three hundred kilograms per furnace..."

This is also the workshop where the imperial craftsmen supervise.

If it is a small private workshop.

A small stove.

At most, it's just a dozen or dozens of kilograms, and the farm tools are packed with iron sheets.

And Dongfan's furnace can produce a thousand catties in one furnace!

At least ten more such blast furnaces will be built in the future.

Dongfan's annual iron production may exceed that of Ming Dynasty!

iron!

Represents agriculture!

war!

This is scary!

All the officials just don’t know what a blast furnace with a thousand kilograms means.

They all know the power of iron!

This means that Yan Fan can make more artillery, more firecrackers, and more agricultural tools.

The war potential is huge!

Many people's faces instantly turned pale, and their eyes were wary as they looked at Mao Xiang, who was describing to Zhu Yuanzhang in detail the construction of a blast furnace capable of producing 10,000 kilograms of iron in the future.

Mao Xiang had a panoramic view of all the officials' expressions.

He was indeed giving a gift to the emperor.

But at the same time, the first batch of iron embryos produced by the Dongfan Blast Furnace should also be used to warn those within the Ming Dynasty who are hostile to the prince!

These pieces of cold iron are just like blunderbuss and slaps in the face!

‘It’s time to patrol the south as soon as possible! ’

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wanted to visit the south.

He knew Mao Xiang's intention.

He also knew that this warning had nothing to do with him.

It was too late for him to be happy that the fourth Dongfan could achieve such an achievement.

"You are very good. We can rest assured that you are assisting the fourth child." Zhu Yuanzhang patted Mao Xiang's shoulder affectionately.

This bastard wanted to save his life and sent him to the fourth child. It seemed that he did the right thing.

…

The first mixed association and five carts of iron embryos shocked all the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Then all the way north.

Except for a few of the accompanying civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty, everyone else was very low-key.

…

Zhang Beicheng.

On the day Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, Zhu Di led a group of people from Zhu Fang and Naha to greet him outside the city.

The team moves from far to near.

All the officials lifted up the car curtains one after another.

Looking at Zhu Di standing at the front, wearing the uniform of the Army's First Town.

Worry was written all over his face.

Chang Mao especially.

Hiding in Hu Weiyong's carriage, he lowered the curtain and said worriedly: "Prime Minister Hu, Zhu Silang won't know, it was me who did it, right?"

The corners of Hu Weiyong's eyes twitched fiercely. He tried his best to suppress his anxiety and smiled to comfort: "Zheng Guogong, what did you say? What did you do? You just arranged for Ji Gang to go back to report the news. The prince was seriously injured and unconscious. What's wrong with you caring about the prince? Duke Zheng, please remember that there are some things that you should never admit at any time!"

He regretted that he had provoked Chang Mao out of desperation.

Chang Mao breathed a sigh of relief and gritted his teeth: "Yes! I just care about my brother-in-law! I did my duty!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, Zhu Di led everyone to salute immediately.

The mountain calls for long live.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying got off the imperial chariot first.

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Di's shoulders, his eyes were red, and he looked carefully. After making sure that Zhu Di was okay, he nodded and whispered: "Fourth, dad can't forgive you this time!"

Zhu Fang and others were still kneeling. After hearing this, they raised their heads slightly in surprise.

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head...

"King Yan is a thousand years old!"

"King Yan is a thousand years old!"

Just when he was about to speak, a sudden thousand-year-old voice sounded.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in astonishment. Baiguanshan shouted a thousand years old and knelt down to worship!

Zhu Xi and others were also shocked.

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed slightly, grabbed Zhu Di's hand and turned around, "You deserve this! I heard that you have conquered millions of Mongolians, and I will take my father to see it later..."

These bitches are scared!

They were afraid that the Fourth Brother would treat them like the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi Province, so they surrendered to the Fourth Brother first!

As for what Biao'er thought after knowing this, he didn't want to think about it.

We can't let the fourth child suffer all the time!

All officials waited silently for Zhu Di to speak, feeling humiliated...
