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

Early July. New 𝟼𝟿 Book Bar→𝟼𝟿𝚜𝚑𝚞𝚡.𝚌𝚘𝚖

Ji Xia.

The people put on thinner and cooler clothes.

On the bustling street, from time to time, a new-style iron carriage with a side door and a brass bell ringing, pulled by a single horse or two horses, passes by.

Or, a young man from a relatively well-off family is riding a bicycle unsteadily, shouting nervously, "Give in, give in."

Then he rushes onto the pillar in front of the street shop or the stall of the hawker.

It made the people passing by laugh.

These young people who are willing to accept new things climbed up with laughter. Without any discouragement, they picked up the bicycles that they had not yet mastered, sat on them, and continued to sway, shouting, "Give way, give way." let'.

In the midst of good-natured laughter, or in the sound of old conservatives stamping their feet and shouting curses.

Keep going, keep going...

Jinling.

This is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In just a few months, nothing seems to have changed, and yet a lot seems to have changed.

People are still living a relatively difficult life, and the prices of various commodities in the city are still increasing at a slow rate.

At the same time, Yan Fan's new things broke into life more and more uncontrollably.

A large number of new carriages and bicycles appeared on the streets.

There is also a bicycle with three wheels.

There is already a bicycle shop in Jinling that has purchased these three-wheeled bicycles and hired people to engage in the business of carrying passengers on the streets.

Some young people, in order to better ride the bicycles trafficked by Yan Fan, quietly took off their traditional Ming Dynasty clothes, although they did not cut their hair.

Put on Yanfan's new split-style clothes.

From the very beginning, try riding in the quiet alleys of the city.

When it was found that no one from the government was stopping him.

These bold young people began to wear Yanfan clothes and ride openly on several densely populated main roads in the city.

However, these bold young people do not dare to ride through the city in such a ostentatious way on the Central Hongwu Avenue in Jinling City.

In some high-end silk and satin shops that were only visited by the rich and powerful, a kind of fabric called canvas appeared.

The people of Jinling City have only heard of this kind of very expensive cloth.

According to some neighbors who worked as servants in the homes of powerful and wealthy people, this kind of fabric was trafficked back from the King of Yan and the Yan Fan by Ming Dynasty shipping merchants.

It is said that those gentry and gentlemen who scolded King Yan in the past.

First, let his concubine wear Yan Fan's new women's clothing.

Soon, the principal wife became unhappy and secretly wore Yan Fan's new women's clothes in the house.

The people did not know whether these rumors were true or false.

In short, it is said that it has a nose and eyes.

In this intertwining of change and immutability.

The people had a strange and absurd feeling.

While the people were still discussing these rumors lively, which made them feel ridiculous, they were working hard to have enough food and clothing.

The upper level of Jinling.

But because of a piece of news.

Shocked, shocked, happy, angry...

Snapped!

The sound of angry slaps on the case came from the courtyard of Lu Mansion and Lu's study room.

Lu Zhao, who was standing outside the annex in person and responsible for guarding, listened to the angry roars coming from the study and vaguely spreading to the outside of the annex. His face was also full of hatred and anger.

"How is that possible! Mr. Hu, even if there are 100,000 pigs, it's impossible to kill them all in one day, right?"

In the study, behind the desk, Lu Ben's wrinkled old face was purple and he roared loudly: "Are these Japanese pirates idiots? We have informed them that Zhu Silang's frontal blocking and rear guerrilla tactics have been told to them in detail. How could they still be defeated? So miserable!"

"We know the news, and Emperor Zhu must know it now. I'm afraid tomorrow, no, very soon, the whole city will know about Zhu Silang's victory. It only takes five days..."

Hu Weiyong also looked very embarrassed.

Zhu Silang's victory has become an established fact and nothing can be changed.

But once the whole city knows about it, it will undoubtedly push the influence of Zhu Silang and Yan Fan to an unparalleled height.

original.

Song Lian, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others took the initiative to request to visit Yan Fan.

And after the donation of land and people occurred.

There were many scholars here in the Ming Dynasty, and they all discussed whether to go to Yanfan to see it.

But it is still limited to discussion.

But once the news of the victory in this battle spread in a very short period of time, it spread.

I am afraid that those scholars who are still just talking about it will make up their minds to visit Yan Fan. This is a very bad sign!

And he was used by Zhu Silang, which was even more humiliating.

"Master Lu, we have been taken advantage of by Zhu Silang." Hu Weiyong's face was gloomy, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and he spoke suddenly without raising his head, interrupting Lu Ben.

Under Lu Ben's puzzled and surprised gaze.

He continued gloomily: "When Zhu Silang was in Jinling City, he preached about frontal blocking and rear guerrilla attacks. He told us that we would definitely tell this tactic to the coalition of Japanese princes, and he wanted to increase the number of troops. The confidence of the allied forces of the Japanese princes made the allied forces of the Japanese princes full of confidence in the Yan vassal troops entering the Japanese country..."

If they hadn't told the coalition of princes about Zhu Silang's tactics of frontal blocking and rear guerrilla harassment.

The coalition of princes may...

Perhaps because I had heard about the power of Yan Fan before, I would not attack the rebel group fiercely.

He will stay in the military depot and actively prepare for the Yan vassal troops to enter the Japanese country.

In this way, even if Zhu Silang used naval warships to land behind the coalition forces of the princes.

It is also located in the traditional area ruled by the coalition of princes.

The coalition of princes can dispatch the remaining troops and the people in the traditional ruling areas to stop Zhu Di.

It would not have been such a complete defeat.

It was impossible for Zhu Silang to win so heartily.

…

When Lu Ben heard Hu Weiyong's analysis, the corners of his lips twitched fiercely and he clenched his molars.

My teeth are almost broken.

Once again, they became Zhu Silang's pawns and were manipulated by Zhu Silang.

hateful!

…

Ha ha……

Compared to the angry atmosphere in Lu Mansion.

In the imperial study room.

But there was hearty laughter.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Do you know when Lao Si and the others will come back?"

Jiang Huan quickly replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, the news from the Liaodong Jinyi Guard Feige was half a month ago. Counting the days, the prince's fleet will arrive in Jinling within the next few days."

"In addition, the crown prince was left in the Japanese country by the prince, assisted by Mao Xiang, Liu Sheng, Lu Zhen, and Wang Zhongye and Li Xin of the Japanese country. This information was learned from the people sent by the conservatives of Goryeo."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, "Who are Wang Zhongye and Li Xin? Han Miao descendants from the Central Plains who lived in Japan?"

"Your Majesty, no, Wang Zhongye is Kobayakawa Nakaye, and Li Xin is a teacher in the Japanese rebel group. His original name is Hatoyama Nobu. It is said that these two people asked the prince to give them their surnames, probably because they wanted to promote the overall Chineseization of the Japanese country. Integrate into the prince’s rule.”

Mao Laoliu is becoming more and more stable now.

Zhu Silang actually entrusted Yan Shizi Zhu Yongming to Mao Laoliu!

It can be imagined how high Mao Laoliu's status will be in Yan Fan in the future!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Jiang Xiang was thinking.

After pondering for a while, he asked: "Have the people sent by the conservative forces of Goryeo gone to see the prince? Has the prince summoned him?"

The corners of Jiang's eyes twitched violently, and he quickly lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, the visitor did pass through Lu Ben and hoped to see the prince. However, the prince directly refused and did not give the Goryeo conservatives a chance... …”

He believed that the prince had done the right thing.

In recent years, the prince, in order to win over and appease the conservatives, has leaned too much towards the conservatives.

That's right.

As long as it has the support of Ming Dynasty conservatives.

Even Zhu Silang could not threaten the prince's position as heir apparent.

But don’t go too far.

Because it can be seen personally that the emperor is inclined to follow the example of Yan Fan in carrying out reforms.

The prince can lean towards the conservative side.

But if the prince becomes a conservative, His Majesty will definitely be very disappointed with the prince.

Leaning towards the conservative side is just a political means for the prince to stabilize his position as heir apparent.

But becoming a conservative means that once the prince has absolute power, he will definitely stifle the Ming Dynasty's innovation.

At the same time, it will also impact the grandson.

Because Taisun has not expressed his opinions on innovation excessively in recent years.

But everyone knows that Taisun supports innovation.

Your Majesty can allow the prince to use political tactics to win over conservatives in order to stabilize his position as crown prince.

But he never wanted to, and the prince became a complete conservative.

The innovations that will kill Ming Dynasty in the future.

I hate the grandson who represents innovation.

And, fight to the death with Zhu Silang.

Because if the prince is really a stubborn conservative, then in the future he will definitely regard the suppression of Yan Fan, the source of innovation, as a policy goal that must be destroyed.

It was also in these years that I gradually understood His Majesty’s thoughts.

He was thinking about his future.

He began to distance himself from the prince in a measured way and pushed the ambitious guy Ji Gang in front of the prince.

This ambitious subordinate was very happy about this.

As everyone knows, this was all deliberately arranged by him.

And in recent years, he actually wanted to get closer to his grandson.

If it can be approved by the great grandson.

Etaisun and Zhu Silang are not father and son, but have a better relationship than father and son.

As Taisun's confidant, Mao Xiang wouldn't be able to avenge him for stabbing him in the back in the future, right?

It's a pity that after all these years, he has never found a chance to get close to his grandson.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded imperceptibly and ordered: "Spread out the news about the great victory, the houses of the Japanese princes, and the accompanying Korean observation group."

really!

When Jiang 𤩽 saw Zhu Yuanzhang nodding, he felt relaxed. This proved that his judgment was correct.

He immediately accepted the order and said: "I obey the order!"

Jiang 𤩽 walked out of the imperial study, looked up at the sun in the sky, and whispered to himself: "This matter was done in a lively and lively manner. The grandson should be very happy because he respects Zhu Silang so much, right?"

…

same day.

Jiang 𤩽 wanted to please Zhu Xiongying.

Secret manipulation.

The news spread throughout Jinling City.

It spread to the entire Zhili at an extremely rapid speed.

"Great victory! Great victory for King Yan!"

"It is said that it only took five days from landing in Japan to annihilating the 100,000 coalition forces of Japanese princes!"

"Haha, those opinion leaders were wrong again. I remember that these opinion leaders predicted that the prince's army would fall into a quagmire after entering the Japanese country. In the end, they would suffer heavy losses and evacuate the Japanese country. Sure enough, you can't listen to what these opinion leaders said! "

"Have you heard? This time, the princes who came back with the prince are also accompanied by the families of the surrendered Japanese princes, and even the leader of Goryeo. I heard that they are all going to Yanjing to observe and congratulate King Yan on the founding of the country!"

"I just want to know what kind of country King Yan wants to establish and what name it will be called."

…

Soon, the people's discussion shifted from the great victory to Zhu Di's founding of the country.

Five days later.

Zhu Di arrived at Songjiangkou.

The Songjiangkou division camp, which had already received Zhu Yuanzhang's order, released the troops immediately.

At the same time, someone was sent to report.

"The prince is back!"

"The news coming from Songjiangkou may have entered the Jinling territory by now."

"Ah! Why didn't you notify me in advance this time? I still want to welcome the prince on his triumphant return!"

【new】

"Hurry up!"

…

After hearing the news, the entire Jinling City was instantly shocked, and countless people hurriedly rushed out of the city.

Among them, there are new carriages.

Inside one of the carriages.

Through the glass window, Lu Ben looked at the dense flow of people outside the city.

snort!

He snorted slightly and said coldly: "Hu Xiang, let me see, these people can still survive after eating enough, so their lives should be made more difficult. It depends on whether they still have the free time to join in the fun! "

In recent years, prices have increased a little.

These people kept complaining.

Even the reformists headed by Fang Xiaoru attributed this situation to those of them, who were called conservatives.

What does it have to do with them.

Even if it's because of them.

It doesn't matter to him.

As long as we ensure that these people work non-stop all day long and have enough to eat, these people will not rebel.

A dynasty only needs to ensure that these ignorant people do not rebel.

Why do these ignorant people get more political and economic benefits?

Hu Weiyong forced a smile.

This time, Zhu Silang took advantage of him and gave him a blow that was no less severe than that of Zhu Silang, who was kicked out of the court.

Unknowingly, he was so stupid that he became Zhu Silang's pawn?

At the beginning, Zhu Silang made no bones about it and raised the difficulties that Yan Fan might encounter when entering Japan. He also suggested that such difficulties would be when the Japanese princes' coalition forces block the front and cooperate with guerrilla attacks from the rear.

Why doesn't he have more than one mind?

Think more.

I wonder why Zhu Silang wanted to spread the word about the difficulties he might encounter?

In fact, he was cautious enough.

Not only did he ask Lu Zhongheng, the commander of the first town in Jingying.

Through Lu Zhongheng, I also inquired about Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Qu Neng and others' sand table simulations of frontal blocking and rear guerrilla attacks.

After confirming that the difficulties Zhu Silang said were true, he sent Dahu to the Japanese country.

…

Lower reaches of Qinhuai River.

A huge triumphal fleet broke through the waves and sailed upstream.

Hino Yeko, Wang Yu and others stood on the deck and looked at the Ming Dynasty scenery on both sides of the river bank along the way.

Look very carefully.

They hope to compare the Ming Dynasty and the Yan Fan, which one is stronger and which one is weaker, and which regime represents the future.

At the same time, I looked at a cruise ship in front of me from time to time.

on this cruise ship.

There is a person who scares them.

King Zhu Di of Yan!

A group of children were playing on the deck.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun stood at the bow of the deck.

Xu Miaoyun turned her head and looked back, turned her head, raised her head slightly, and smiled teasingly: "Silang, how can you live up to the kindness of the shogunate's wife?"

Messy black lines suddenly appeared on Zhu Di's forehead.

He turned around and asked with an angry smile: "Who told you? Zhu Laoer?"

Apart from Zhu Laoer, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a boring thing.

After all, Yong Ming, that brat, was left in Japan for training.

puff!

Xu Miaoyun was immediately amused by Zhu Di's "gnashing teeth" look, and smiled and said: "Don't accuse my second brother wrongly. It wasn't the second brother who complained. It was Hino Yeko who paid me a visit when he was in Goryeo and told me..."

"This woman must be sick!" Zhu Di said angrily: "I didn't talk about her shameless things, but she took the initiative to mention them."

At this moment, Zhu Di was full of disgust for Hino Yeko.

Xu Miaoyun held Zhu Di's hand and said, "Don't be angry. Hino Yeko mentioned this not because she was disgusted with me. This woman is very smart. After meeting me, she took the initiative to mention this and then apologized profusely. She also said that women all over the world are envious of me. I know her purpose in mentioning this matter and apologizing. Besides, she is indeed feeling envious when she says this about envying me. At the same time, she also wants to gain my favor. After all, she takes the initiative. , were all ruthlessly rejected by you. You are worried about your future and fate. Knowing my status in your heart, of course you hope to make good friends with me."

…

"Hino Yeko also said that he hopes that when his son goes to the subcontinent in the future, his son will grow up and marry a Han woman as his wife. He also proactively mentioned that in the future, the He clan under their shogunate will not continue to use the He clan. I want to change this name to an ethnic group name.”

snort!

Zhu Di snorted, turned around and looked back at the cruise ship where the Japanese princes were riding, and said coldly: "This woman has some tricks. She has already seen my purpose of completely wiping out the He clan."

"I realize that if these people who have migrated continue to call themselves the He clan, they will inevitably continue to miss their ancestral land in the future, which will not be conducive to my complete rule of the Japanese country."

I have to say that this woman does have two brushes.

I'm afraid I'll be able to make a career in the subcontinent in the future.

"However, I let them go to the subcontinent, not because I want them to develop and grow again in the subcontinent. The land of the subcontinent is too troublesome. I hope that there will be a force to help me to attack and defeat the old customs and destroy the old customs. Everything was shattered by war, so that when we, Yan Fan, set foot here, we can better describe what we want on a blank piece of paper."

This group of people are just pawns in Yan Fan's long-term national policy.

In the future, when Yan Fan’s troops are directed towards the subcontinent.

Either accept everything from Yan Fan.

Either they were purged, or they left the subcontinent again just as they migrated away from Japan.

…

"Welcome to your triumphant return!"

When Zhu Di stood at the bow of the ship, he was lost in thought.

The fleet sailed into the Qinhuai River area in the Jinling section.

The number of people on both sides of the river was not as large as before because the news came so suddenly, but the enthusiasm of the people was no less than that of the previous times.

Loud shouts.

This shocked everyone in Japan and Korea.

Hino Yezi looked at the cheering and waving people on the river bank, and murmured in surprise: "King Yan has such a reputation in the Ming Dynasty, why doesn't he strive for the position of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hino Ziyasu looked at the marines on the warships behind them, standing in formation and silently raising their hands in salute to both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and sighed: "Maybe this is the hero, and he doesn't bother to inherit!"

Another cruise ship.

Li Zhu stood behind Wang Yu and exclaimed: "This prince's reputation in the Ming Dynasty is higher than before."

He had seen the reputation of Yan King Zhu Di after his triumphant victory over the grassland.

Compared to now, it pales into insignificance!

Wang Yu then gloated and said with a smile: "I finally know why the relationship between the prince and this king is getting more and more tense!"

…

The warship docked at the dock amid cheers from the people.

After Zhu Di and his party got off the boat, they boarded the carriage sent by the court and quickly entered the city without stopping too much.

Hino was sitting in the carriage, looking through the glass window at the Jinling Industrial Zone on the other side of the river, billowing with thick smoke, "This should be the Jinling Industrial Zone, right? I don't know, how does Yan Fan's industry compare with the Ming Dynasty?" "

During this time, she also found out some things about Daming.

If you go to the subcontinent and gain a foothold, if you want to escape from Yan Fan's control, you can only turn to the Ming Dynasty for help.

According to the Korean people, the relationship between Prince Ming and King Zhu Di of Yan was somewhat tense.

Moreover, Ming Dynasty also had a large group of conservatives.

These are the people they can lean towards for support.

Provided that.

Ming Dynasty is more powerful than Yan Fan! Can be their backer!

…

"I have decided that this time, I will take a merchant ship and go to Yanjing, King of Yan, to have a good look."

"Go together, go together!"

…

Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong had been sitting in the carriage without showing up. After the convoy of Zhu Di and his entourage left, they listened to a group of young scholars discussing and passing by outside the carriage.

Lu Ben held his clothes tightly with both hands.

He looked at Hu Weiyong: "Hu Xiang, what you were worried about finally happened. A series of things finally allowed Yan Fan to incite us scholars in the Ming Dynasty. In the future, how should we suppress this evil trend?"

He is scared!

If the scholars of Ming Dynasty all agree with innovation.

Wouldn’t they all become Zhu Xiongying’s supporters?

How could Yunwen, the Qilin son of the Lu family, replace Zhu Xiongying?

Hu Weiyong glanced at Lu Ben, clearly aware of Lu Ben's inner worries, and smiled to comfort him: "Master Lu, don't worry, young people are prone to impulsivity, but there is one thing that cannot be changed, and that is interests!"

"Maybe some young people from gentry families will really be seduced by Yan Fan's evil spirit, but I don't believe that all young people from gentry families will betray their own interests!"

"The vast majority of young people, after making a fuss impulsively and discovering that their own interests have been affected, will immediately change their ways and become more vicious than us old guys and more hostile to Yan Fan's things that harm their interests. "

Yan Fan's new trend is indeed very attractive to young people who like new things.

But these young people don't realize it now.

Behind these new trends, they will also harm their interests.

Under the protection of their parents, they do not feel the pain deeply enough when their interests are damaged!

You guys can't gather more wealth and power into your own hands, you have to share it with the stupid people.

You can't be superior to others, show off your power, or be arrogant.

When these truths were slowly understood by young people from gentry background.

He was very sure that these young people would hate Yan Fan's ideas even more fiercely than they did.

"I have foreseen that in the future, these young scholars will cause trouble. When the time comes, we will incite these young gentry people who understand the true nature of Yan Fan to carry out the most brutal attacks and even kill those who believe in the evil customs of Yan Fan. We seniors should support them from behind and let them charge forward!"

"As for Yanfan's bicycles, new carriages and other new things to enjoy, we have to tell the young people from gentry background that we do not engage in Yanfan's tricks, but as long as we engage in industry, we can enjoy them. Moreover, we do not engage in Yanfan's With this set, they can get even more in the future!”

…

Lu Ben listened carefully.

At some point...

Ha ha……

He immediately raised his head and laughed heartily, then gritted his teeth and said sinisterly: "Master Hu is brilliant! It's time for blood to flow in the Central Plains! Only blood can completely cleanse the evil spirit of Yan Fan and eradicate those reformists! Only then can we sit back and relax! "

Zhu Xiongying is also a reformist.

Once the conflict and bloodshed described by Hu Weiyong occurs.

We will take advantage of the situation to bring down Zhu Xiongying!

…

Inside the carriage that Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were riding.

After entering the city, when passing a young scholar riding a rickety bicycle, Jin Douzi climbed on the window and curled his lips, "For such a big man, his riding skills are not as good as mine. Also, he is wearing a long gown, so be careful to keep your clothes wrapped in it." .”

Xu Miaoyun pulled Jindouzi back and glared angrily, "Not polite!"

Then, he looked at the young man who had fallen under the influence of Jindouzi. After he couldn't see anymore, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhu Di, with a trace of worry in his eyes, "I'm afraid this student movement won't last too long."

Zhu Di nodded.

…

That night.

East Palace.

Zhu Biao summoned Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, Qu Neng and other members of the military observation group...

This chapter is a transitional chapter, mainly to pave the way for the student movement.

In the next chapter, I will write directly about returning to Yanjing, and will not use too much pen and ink about the Ming Dynasty. After all, I have written about the plot of returning to the imperial court several times.

Finally, please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and confirmations.
