Chapter 431 May the King of Yan Live a Thousand Years and a Thousand Thousand Years!

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

"King Yan has not come back for such a long time. Your Majesty must be on the northern tour to appease King Yan.

"If I were the King of Yan, I would also be disappointed. The King of Yan commands his own private soldiers and fights 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, 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On the contrary, the Zhu Mansion was extremely calm, and the Imperial Guards had withdrawn.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 leave.

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

Three hundred and sixty-eight bloody heads.

The lesson of the bloodbath of the entire Chief Envoy's Yamen will be reminded of those people all the time.

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 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, watching Shiro working in the Ming Dynasty, being hampered and wronged everywhere, I am afraid that 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 the King of Yan come back to our Ming Dynasty?"

...

The whispers gradually turned into shouts and inquiries.

Inside the carriage.

Xiao Qihua looked up at Xu Miaoyun, "Mother, will we never be able to come back to Ming Dynasty to visit our grandparents, grandpa, and aunt in the future?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and rubbed the top of Xiao Qihua's head, "You and your brother can of course come back if you miss your grandparents, grandparents, and when your eldest brother and Senior Sister Cailu get married, you will also have to come back on behalf of your father and mother as a visit..."

"Mother, when your eldest brother and Senior Sister Cailu get married, can't you and your father come back?" Xiao Qihua stared at Xu Miaoyun with big eyes.

Xu Miaoyun was speechless for a moment...

Can he?

What will happen in five or six years, she can't predict.

She and Silang personally raised and taught Xiongying for several years, and Cailu was a student they personally taught.

They got married.

She and Silang definitely wanted to come back to witness it.

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

"Mother..."

"Mother, my elder brother and his senior sister are getting married. What kind of gift will you and father give to them?" Xiao Qihuan just started to ask, but Yong Ming was more thoughtful and understood more, so he smiled and changed the subject.

Sure enough, Xiao Qihuan was successfully diverted to the topic, "Mother, what kind of gift should we give to my elder brother? My elder brother will definitely be the grandson of the emperor by then, and this gift must be big and shocking..."

The little girl stretched out her two little arms and gestured exaggeratedly.

...

The carriage window in front.

Zhu Yunwen shrank his head, his face was a little ugly. Why did all the people shout and ask whether the fourth uncle and his family were going to leave the Ming Dynasty completely?

It seemed that the Ming Dynasty would not be able to survive without the fourth uncle!

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

His father will be the future!

It has nothing to do with the fourth uncle!

"Mom, are Zhu Qihuan and the others leaving? If they leave this time, will Zhu Qihuan never come back?"

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

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

He was worried that Zhu Qihuan would complain to his fourth uncle.

On that day, when the news came that his father was seriously injured and unconscious, he tore up Zhu Qihuan's Diamond Sutra.

It was strange that Zhu Qihuan, that crazy girl, didn't even go to the emperor's grandfather to complain.

Other uncles and aunts didn't make this public either.

He actually got away with it.

But what if he went north to see his fourth uncle and Zhu Qihuan complained?

...

Mrs. Lu pondered for a moment and smiled, "Your fourth uncle and fourth aunt will most likely not return to the Ming Dynasty, but you children will definitely still visit the Ming Dynasty and Yan Fan. For example, Qi Huan and Yong Ming will represent your fourth uncle and fourth aunt to visit our Ming Dynasty, and your eldest brother and you will visit Yan Fan on behalf of the Ming Dynasty..."

According to the means used by Zhu Laosi to create the Xi'an bloodbath.

And the discussions outside.

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

However, she believes that the two families will still visit each other.

It's just that the younger generations will replace the elders in the future.

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

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

He felt uncomfortable when he saw his grandfather and everyone liked Zhu Qi Huan.

But he was very happy during this period.

During this period, except for the emperor's grandfather, grandmother, mother, and the crown princess, a few people still loved Zhu Qihuan and Zhu Yongming as always.

Others all avoided Zhu Qihuan and Zhu Yongming.

When his father became the emperor.

He would be the prince!

When that time came, Zhu Qihuan would return to the court and become the princess of Xiaobang, and he would be able to suppress Zhu Qihuan firmly!

"Mother, when I grow up, I will visit Yanfan on behalf of my father!"

...

Inside Yang Fei's carriage.

Yang Fei lowered the curtain, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across her face. She turned to look at Zhu Quan, "Quan'er, when you go north to see your fourth brother, you must get close to him..."

She did not expect that the situation would develop to the current situation.

His Majesty would personally go north to appease the fourth brother.

And the people were even more worried that the fourth brother would completely leave the Ming Dynasty.

When she heard that the prince was seriously injured and unconscious, and the court immediately pointed the finger at the fourth son, she thought that the Zhu family would be doomed this time.

For herself and her son, she certainly didn't dare to let Quan'er get too close to Qi Hua and Yong Ming.

Who would have thought...

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

The brothers of the Zhu family, whoever can rely on him will benefit a lot in the future.

Let's not talk about the distant ones.

In the near future, if Quan'er goes to the vassal, the training of the vassal king's guard will require the rifle and the training advisory group. I heard from the mother of the thirteenth and others that the thirteenth and others have already discussed it with Zhu Laosi.

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

She is a woman.

Everyone knows how powerful the combat effectiveness of the first town of the army was in this battle!

Zhu Quan turned his head away in a sullen manner, muttering quietly: "That day, when you met Yong Ming, you didn't even say hello. When I met my fourth brother, I didn't have the face to get close to him,"

...

Everyone had different thoughts, and they marched out of the city in a mighty procession amid the people's attention and discussion.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just left the city gate.

Ji Gang rode out of the city on horseback, and in the midst of everyone's curiosity, he came to the imperial carriage and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Fujian Jinyiwei sent an urgent message from 800 miles away. Ten days ago, the governor Ye Mao left Fujian and went to Dongfan. One day later, Dongfan issued an order to Fujian merchants in the name of King Yan to requisition all warships of the merchants. It is reported that the Dongfan navy has also been fully dispatched, with a total of more than 600 large and small ships, and is on its way north..."

Inside the imperial carriage.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked at each other.

They both understood what the Dongfan navy's action meant.

It must be that the voices shouting and killing the fourth brother in the territory of the Ming Dynasty reached Fujian, and Ye Mao sent the news to Dongfan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very uncomfortable mood.

It was not that he was annoyed by the behavior of the Dongfan navy.

He was annoyed by the behavior of the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty and the damage caused to the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the fourth brother Yanfan.

From now on, he had no face to let the fourth brother help the Ming Dynasty.

When Biao'er arrives, if you want the fourth brother to help, you may have to pay a huge price!

Perhaps only when Xiongying arrives, this situation will be eased.

"Notify the coastal Jinyiwei and find a way to contact Yu Jing, let him lead the fleet to Hebei, and tell Yu Jing the news of our northern tour..."

"Yes!"

Ji Gang's voice just came in.

"Wait!" Zhu Yuanzhang added: "Go to the Princess of Yan to ask for a hand order."

Although Yu Jing is a general from the Ming Dynasty.

He is still a member of the Yu family.

But he dare not guarantee that he can still order Yu Jing now.

Obviously, the shouting and killing in 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 purpose.

Xu Miaoyun lifted the curtain, took off the jade pendant on Yongming's waist, and handed it to Ji Gang, "Give this jade pendant to Yu Jing, without a hand order, Yu Jing will know what to do when he sees this jade pendant."

Yongming has been carrying this jade pendant with him.

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

Recognize Yong Ming's jade pendant.

Ji Gang looked at Yong Ming deeply, "Yes, sir!"

Respectfully took the jade pendant and left.

This toss.

The news came soon.

"Too presumptuous! Zhu Si... The King of Yan was just a little wronged, and all the naval warships of his Yan Fan went out together. Too presumptuous!"

"In the future, as the suzerain state, will our Ming Dynasty go to war if they are not satisfied with their Yan Fan!"

...

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

...

Zhu Yuanzhang went north.

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

When the news of Zhu Biao's awakening came.

After the situation in Jinling stabilized.

Confirming that Xu Miaoyun and her son were safe.

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

Even, at the fastest speed, he drafted an outline of the grassland native village community.

Moreover, he found a dozen small tribes with 300 to 400 people and began to build a rough framework according to the outline of the local village community adapted to nomadic peoples.

Through the personal experience of the herdsmen, he quickly improved and adjusted the outline.

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

He was also summarizing the experience for Dongfan.

Dongfan will conquer Luzon, Srivijaya and other countries next.

Although these places are agricultural societies.

But the people in these places have similarities with the people on the grassland.

First, they are all foreigners, and he needs to have experience in dealing with foreigners.

Secondly, the level of civilization is not high.

...

These experiences are very important for a force like Yanfan that wants to open up overseas territory.

After a fulfilling day, everyone was free after dark.

After a campfire dinner.

Zhu Di and Zhu Chong, in the moonlight, let the cool breeze of the grassland night pass by, and walked on the lush and soft grass.

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

Zhu Chong smiled unhappily and glared at Zhu Di, "Tired!"

These days, they brothers, under the instruction of the fourth brother, participated in the construction of grassland rural villages.

Don't mention how tired they are.

There are a lot of troubles and problems, big and small, which are more tiring than this northern expedition.

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

Here it comes!

Zhu Chong said secretly.

He knew that the fourth brother would pull him out alone and must talk about this again.

If it were someone else, even the eldest brother, he would not listen.

But the fourth brother, he was willing to listen.

"Fourth brother, do you think that if the eldest brother becomes the emperor, your Yan Fan and the Ming Dynasty can really get along well?" Zhu Chong stared at Zhu Di, "I am very pessimistic about this!"

He didn't think so before.

But during this northern expedition.

Some actions of the eldest brother.

And after the eldest brother fell into a coma, the upper class of the Central Plains shouted to kill the fourth brother.

Combining them together, it is not difficult to guess.

In the future, even if the fourth brother escapes overseas, it is impossible for Yanfan and Ming Dynasty to get along well.

Moreover, if Yanfan develops too well.

Ming Dynasty is very likely to get red eye disease!

Guarantee, there will be many people showing all kinds of shameless faces.

Zhu Di was in a trance...

Zhu Chong smiled and said: "You yourself have no confidence in the future, getting along well with Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di's thoughts were interrupted, and he came back to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing, we can bite each other's tongue, not to mention two forces, two countries, struggle and communication can exist at the same time."

He never lacked confidence in the future.

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

The eldest brother himself has good ability and stable strategic determination!

Moreover, the eldest brother's advantage is too strong.

To be honest.

Even if he stays in the Ming Dynasty to compete for the throne, he may not be able to beat the eldest brother!

He has the foundation of Dongfan, but the eldest brother has never clearly supported the new policy, especially the employment share system. The eldest brother clearly opposed to extending it to the whole country, which gave hope to many Ming elites. They all hoped that after the eldest brother ascended the throne, he could promote the change of the Ming Dynasty's new policy.

Even he, except for the way of war, has no chance.

Let alone the second brother.

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

But history has changed beyond recognition.

Will the eldest brother be like in history?

He thought not.

Zhu Chong was silent.

Don't say he can't see hope.

After the fourth brother rushed to Buir Lake and defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Yao Guangxiao was very depressed for a long time.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Chong and continued to walk forward. After a while, when Zhu Chong caught up, he said as he walked, "Second brother, the Ming Dynasty is small, and the world is big! There is no need to focus on the Ming Dynasty. Father mentioned that he would increase the military strength of you vassal kings..."

Zhu Chong's eyes widened immediately, "Fourth brother, father even said this to you?"

I'm afraid the eldest brother doesn't know about this?

Zhu Di was helpless.

The point of his words.

Is it to shock Zhu Laoer? !

"According to the plan of the emperor, we need to further draw troops from your father-in-law's direct lineage and give you three guards. It is no problem to reorganize two new towns with three guards."

"It is said that the territory of the Jurchens is east of the Buyuer Sea and north of Liaodong. The court is unable to effectively rule these places. Don't you want to open up these places?"

"What about the east of the Jurchen 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 has also said this to other brothers, including the third brother, during this period.

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

The nomadic peoples in the north are not strong.

...

"After leaving Daming and returning to Dongfan, I will use foreign troops..."

Zhu Chong listened carefully.

Of course he envied the fourth brother.

But...

He knew very well that starting a business was difficult!

The fourth brother is capable. He did not rely on his father, but worked hard on his own to create the current foundation.

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

Even if the father gave them three more guards, they could form two new armies.

But what about the future?

How much support can he give?

The conditions of the two new armies alone are countless times better than when the fourth brother started.

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

To be honest, he has no confidence.

Even if there is no chance to seize the throne.

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

If he gives up the vassal kingship and leaves the Ming Dynasty, he will lose all his capital.

I am afraid that he will want to return to the Ming Dynasty again.

Even if he can come back, he will become a powerless and insignificant prince.

Zhu Di didn't know Zhu Chong's fear of the unknown and his obsession with the comfort zone, so he continued, "You know how many Japanese scholars I have under my command. Now, these five Japanese scholars are leading troops in the First Mixed Brigade. Some of them want to take my ideas back to Japan and complete the transformation of Japan alone!"

...

Among the five Japanese, some respect and fear him, but they are instinctively afraid of and resist him.

They are worried that he will interfere in Japan.

They are even more worried that he will annex Japan in the name of ideals.

"Old Four, you are not going to support them, are you?" Zhu Chong's eyes widened, "The Japanese pirates are small-minded and have no great principles. They respected our Ming Dynasty at the beginning, but soon betrayed us. This is the best proof. Don't be fooled by the obedience shown by the Japanese pirates!"

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

He was fooled by any ethnic group.

He could never be fooled by the Japanese pirates!

When the pirates were suppressed, about a thousand Japanese pirates were captured.

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

He planned to train these Japanese pirates after returning this time, equip them with firearms, and let Ono and others lead them and send them back to Japan by the navy.

"I won't let them succeed, and they can't succeed, but I need them to go to Japan and make the war in Japan more intense, so that they can complete the population reduction plan for me as much as possible and help me eliminate the elite layer of Japan. You can see my ideas by looking at the reaction of our Ming elite layer. If they want to succeed, they must kill the elite layer bloodily..."

He didn't know the exact population of Japan.

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

Too many!

At least one million people must die, and strive for two million, right?

Equip firearms and introduce them to Japan, hoping that they can have more deaths in the internal struggle.

After he intervenes.

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

The reason for this is not because of the influence of the previous life.

It is mainly because the Japanese dynasty that has lasted for thousands of years 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 in 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 a big ambition, why don't you fight for the reserve? With the Ming Dynasty's strong foundation, your ambition will be easier to realize, isn't it?"

Zhu Di smiled bitterly.

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

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

"I said that if I stay in the Ming Dynasty, I can't compete with my eldest brother. For the sake of the throne, I will eventually destroy the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Di shook his head.

"Let second brother think about it carefully. Second brother can't give you the answer to such a big matter 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 any sloppy looks!" 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, 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 solution to 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 is getting 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 brigade has recruited a large number of barbarians!"

"But it looks like it is also an elite force!"

...

The officials were discussing.

Yu Jing led his troops to the foot of the city, dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Yu Jing, the commander of the Yanfan Navy, leads the first battalion of the first mixed brigade of the army to pay homage to His Majesty the Great Ming!"

Pah!

"Greetings to His Majesty the Great Ming!"

Behind Yu Jing, the three thousand soldiers of the first battalion of the first mixed brigade stood at attention and saluted with chest beats.

Everyone on the top of the city instantly had a strange look on their faces.

He looked at Xu Miaoyun and her son.

Yanfan... pays homage to His Majesty the Great Ming!

The distinction is so clear!

More than a year ago, when Zhu Si... Prince Yan returned to Beijing, the first brigade of the army greeted His Majesty with 'Long live the emperor'!

But this time...

Good Yu Jing, cultivated by the Great Ming, so soon only recognizes Yanfan and not the Great Ming!

Humph!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly, and his eyes swept coldly around the officials on both sides.

He didn't blame Yu Jing.

The current situation has developed.

Blame him!

Blame the Ming bastards!

"Yu Jing, stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

...

The First Mixed Brigade camped outside.

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

Zhu Yuanzhang walked down the city, looked at the cloth-covered carts, pointed and asked: "What's in it?"

Mao Xiang smiled, "Your Majesty, I brought back a gift for you."

As he spoke, Mao Xiang uncovered the cloth covering a carriage next to him.

Ingots of square, oxidized, black iron embryos appeared in everyone's sight.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over, and everyone gathered around him.

Zhu Yuanzhang touched it with his hand, it was cold, and after confirming that it was iron, he asked with a smile: "Can you send us back five carts of iron?"

"Your Majesty, these five carts of iron embryos, totaling one thousand catties, were made from our iron smelting furnace. They are also the first batch of iron embryos produced by Dongfan's new iron smelting blast furnace. In the future, we plan to build at least ten such blast furnaces..."

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

Many officials did not understand iron smelting at all. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's shocked expression, they whispered.

"It's just one thousand catties, what's wrong?"

"Yes, in our Ming Dynasty, we smelt at least three or four hundred thousand catties of iron every year, right?"

...

Li Shanchang glanced at the group of colleagues behind him who only knew the nonsense, "As far as I know, our Ming Dynasty's iron smelting furnace, one furnace, can only smelt two or three hundred catties at most..."

This is still the workshop of the imperial court's artisan supervisor.

If it is a small workshop in the folk.

A small furnace.

At most, it can only smelt a dozen catties or dozens of catties, and it is just a farm tool for packing iron sheets.

And Dongfan's furnace can produce 1,000 catties of iron per furnace!

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

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

Iron!

Represents agriculture!

War!

This is terrible!

The officials just don't know what a blast furnace of 1,000 catties means.

They all know the power of iron!

This means that Yanfan can make more artillery, more muskets, and more farm tools.

The war potential is huge!

Many people's faces turned pale instantly, and they looked at Mao Xiang, who was describing in detail to Zhu Yuanzhang that a blast furnace with an iron production of 10,000 catties would be built in the future.

Mao Xiang took in the expressions of the officials.

He was indeed giving gifts to the emperor.

But at the same time, the first batch of iron embryos produced by the Dongfan blast furnace should be used to warn those who are hostile to the prince in the Ming Dynasty!

These cold iron embryos are muskets and slaps!

'It's time to tour the south as soon as possible! ’

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wanted to go on a tour to the south to have a look.

He knew Mao Xiang’s intention.

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

He was so happy that Lao Si Dongfan could achieve such an achievement.

“You are very good. With you assisting Lao Si, we can rest assured.” Zhu Yuanzhang patted Mao Xiang’s shoulder affectionately.

This bastard, I wanted to save his life and sent him to Lao Si. It seems that I did the right thing.

…

The First Mixed Brigade and the five-car iron embryo shocked the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Then they went north all the way.

Except for a few people, the civil and military officials who accompanied him were very low-key.

…

Zhangbei City.

On the day Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, Zhu Di led Zhu Chong and Nahachu to greet him outside the city.

The team came from far away.

All the officials lifted the curtains of the car.

Looking at Zhu Di standing in the front, wearing the uniform of the First Army.

Their faces were full of worry.

Chang Mao was even worse.

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

Hu Weiyong's eyes twitched fiercely, and he tried to suppress his anxiety, and smiled and comforted: "Duke Zheng, what did you say? What did you do? You just arranged for Ji Gang to go back and report. The prince was seriously injured and unconscious. What's wrong with you caring about the prince? Duke Zheng, remember, some things should never be admitted at any time!"

He regretted why he instigated Chang Mao in a hurry.

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

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

Amid the shouts of "Long live the emperor".

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying got off the imperial carriage 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 for a thousand years and knelt down to worship him!

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!

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