I am the king of the dead

Chapter 996 Chongwang Yiwang, he is overseas

The wheels of history are rolling forward like the wheels of a train. After Zhongguo Gong Shiheng brought the goods from Xuanfugong City back to Beitu City, the construction of Chidao began to be put on the agenda.

In Jingtai’s last great court meeting in 17 years, Daming announced the construction of nine large-scale roads, which were about to be rebuilt and expanded on the basis of the original Jiulong Post Road in Daming. Complete within 40 years.

That is to say, only 1000 two hundred and fifty miles can be repaired a year.

It's just a long-term vision, specifically.

22 years ago in Jingtai, it was a feasible goal to complete the construction of the road from the south of the Ming Dynasty to the north of the government.

No one can accurately predict the situation in five years. Even a virtuous minister like Yu Qian only dares to plan things within five years. Who knows what will happen in five years?
Road construction, dredging, and construction of water conservancy are the secondary distribution of the Ming court, which is the use of tax revenue. The cost of road hardening is [-] silver coins per mile, and the cost of Chidao is about [-] silver coins. Food and clothing are provided, and only a small amount of labor remuneration is given, and the price is based on the full cooperation of labor and official factories.

Every year, the imperial court invests more than 150 million silver coins in Chidao, which exceeds the total amount of silver that was converted into the national treasury every year during the orthodox years.

Regarding the construction of the Chi Road, the opposition within the imperial court was also very prominent. In the eyes of many courtiers, there is no need to plan such a long-term thing at all. test the waters.

The five-year railway plan was also established amidst opposition.

Another Spring Festival, in the spring of Jingtai's 18th year, Zhu Qiyu returned to Tai'an Palace to meet with the ministers to celebrate the New Year as usual.

The emperor's uncle Zhu Zhanqian has recovered a bit of his richness. Zhu Qiyu feels that the emperor's uncle is really busy recently, so he plans to make his southern tour and ask the emperor's uncle to watch the door at home.

Zhu Zhanqian was a little hesitant when he heard it. He asked whether it is possible for the prince to supervise the country. As the fifth grandfather of the prince, he is in charge of assisting the prime minister. If he continues to supervise the country, the prince may hold a grudge.

After Zhu Zhanqian left, Zhu Jianshen met as his son and nephew. Zhu Qiyu rewarded him according to the usual practice, and gave King Yi five pieces of caramel as usual.

"Uncle, my son has already been crowned, and I plan to go to Bei Dazhou to become a feudal clan." After Zhu Jianshen took the maltose, he expressed his desire to become a feudal clan.

In the current Ming Dynasty, the children and grandchildren of the old Zhu family have two choices, either to live in the capital and wait to die, except for Da Zong, the Five Dynasties will attack;

And Zhu Jianshen chose to go to the feudal clan, and his journey to the feudal clan was extremely long. The sea route exceeded [-] miles to the North Continent, and he would never come back after going there for a lifetime.

"Wait a minute, the flight route has not stabilized and is still exploring, you don't have to worry too much." Zhu Qiyu raised Zhu Jianshen for 18 years, and the little baby back then has grown to be as tall as him now.

For Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Qiyu is not very entangled. King Jili has been punished for 18 years, and even the people have acquiesced to the fact that Zhu Jianshen is the illegitimate son of Emperor Ming. If it wasn't for Emperor Ming, why did he treat King Yi so well?Why didn't Emperor Ming rebuttal?
Even Liu Yongcheng, a stubborn ass, no longer brings up the old story again, and no one will use the Yi Palace as a tool to resist the emperor.

Zhu Jianshen won the crown after the end of the new year, and the crown is also called the weak crown. Zhu Qiyu felt a little bit unbearable for Zhu Jianshen to go out to work hard at such a young age.

"There is a long way to go, and it is better to start earlier." Zhu Jianshen refuted his uncle's words for the first time. Before that, he never had any doubts about his uncle's words. Let's go, when the route exploration is completed, wouldn't he pick peaches?

Whoever runs for the people is the king of the people.

"To the east or to the west?" Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, but agreed. Parents should not be the constraints and shackles for their children to soar in the sky.

Zhu Qiyu chose fulfillment.

On the map, to the left is to go west, to the right is to go east, to go west through the Straits of Malacca, to Luojingzheng Peak, to Liberty City, across the Atlantic Ocean, to Cuba, and to the east coast of North China.

And to the east is the Seto Inland Sea of ​​the Wa Kingdom, across the Pacific Ocean, and to the west coast of North Dazhou.

These two roads are long and long to the west, but when they are mature and landed, they are the east coast of the North Continent, a great plain that stretches as far as the eye can see, and the mountains cannot be seen by horses for two days;
The other one is still being explored. After landing on the west coast, there are vast mountains.

"To the west." Zhu Jianshen did not choose to land on the vast mountains on the west coast, but chose to land on the east coast of the North Continent. To put it simply, Zhu Jianshen chose the simple mode.

Zhu Jianshen was not so hard to develop from the mountains on the west coast.

That's not a mountain, it's a moat.

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a long time, the children had grown up slowly, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to be willing, he nodded and said: "Let's go to the Ministry of Rites to discuss the etiquette."

"Zhu Yu plans to go with the baby." Zhu Jianshen said tentatively.

Zhu Yu is Zhu Qiyu's adopted son. The child's father is Duntai Yuanhou, and his mother died of dystocia. Adoption can also be regarded as a platform for the Xiejiayuan that year.

Now Zhu Yu is tall and burly, with big arms and round waist. He has been practicing martial arts with Lu Zhong for a long time, and he is also a titan.

Zhu Qiyu wanted Zhu Yu to go to the battlefield several times. Empress Wang felt sorry for the child, and the courtiers also did not agree with the emperor's heir to go to the battlefield. Isn't it going to stage another Jingnan change?
Zhu Yu's martial arts grades are excellent, and he has also participated in several grand parades.

Zhu Qiyu thought again and said: "Yu'er, you must remember that on the battlefield, arrows, lead, flowering bullets, and barbed wire do not have eyes, and you will not avoid you just because you are my heir. Remember, you can destroy the enemy only by living." .”

"Baby accepts the decree!" Zhu Yu was overjoyed, he thought he would not be able to go, but His Majesty agreed!

Zhu Qiyu originally planned to make Zhu Yu the king of the Western Regions, imitating the Duke of Guizhou, but Zhu Yu's biggest problem is that he has no military achievements, and secondly, the Western Regions already has the fifth prince Kang Wang.

Zhu Yu is now following Zhu Jianshen to develop. If he survives, it will be Zhu Jianshen's help and his own achievement.

If not survived?That's how it should be.

Back then, King Jili erected a dragon flag and banner at Deshengmen, and Zhu Qiyu had to go to the battlefield to fight desperately. If he wants to wear the crown, he must bear its weight.

Zhu Jianji didn't speak, but his father knew his ambition. Zhu Jianji's goal was Ceylon and India. He has not been crowned yet, and he will leave after he is crowned.

The term India comes from the translation of Tang Sanzang’s Buddhist scriptures from the West. In Ming Dynasty, it can be called Tianzhu or India.

Zhu Qiyu had already made preparations for the emperor's heirs to go to sea, which has political significance. Even if the government is dead, can he still go to Bei Dazhou to call Zhu Jianshen, the Prince of Yi's mansion, back?It also has practical significance. Even the emperor's heirs are actively going to sea. This is a means of consolidating the sea.

It's just that the children have grown up, so they have left the protection of their parents.

"Retire, baby." Zhu Jianshen left Tai'an Palace quite excitedly.

After the Tianming Festival, the Ministry of Rites discussed the matter of King Yi's taking over the vassal. The courtiers objected to this matter greatly. Liu Yongcheng all contributed.

Whether Xu Youzhen is a fan of King Jili, Xu Youzhen has the final say, but the Ming Emperor has the final say.

What the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty opposed was that King Yi went to explore overseas, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty gave too much!
It is already a great gift to select 6000 Pingbo athletes as King Yi to open up the army, and His Majesty actually wants to reward King Yi with the Lujiang number!

Right now, Daming has only six first-class warships of the Treasure Ship class, and the Emperor of Daming actually rewarded all the national treasures like the Lujiang, and there are naturally countless other treasures.

In particular, the opposition from the Ministry of Household Affairs was extremely loud. After two months of grinding their teeth, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty still failed to win the emperor's will. They did not discount any rewards. With abundant financial resources, all the expenditures of the feudal clan come from internal funds.

A treasure ship, thirteen three-masted ships, nearly a hundred warships, and nearly ten thousand people, the guard of honor of Yi Wang's vassal, gathered in Songjiang Mansion.

In the summer of the 18th year of Jingtai, King Yi started a long pioneering voyage from the new port of Songjiang Prefecture with his fleet.

This time, King Yi's mother, Qian Shi, still stayed in Yiwang's mansion, while Yi King's biological mother, Zhou Shi, still lived in Baiyi Nunnery. King Yi didn't let his mother take risks with him.

Later generations will call it Yiwang Xidu.

And as Yiwang Shufan was the ninth official trade of the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, this was the continuation of the southward voyages during the Yongle and Xuande years, so it was called the ninth southward voyage.

Zhu Qiyu originally thought that Liu Yongcheng would follow Zhu Jianshen, the son of King Jili, to the North Continent, but Liu Yongcheng chose to stay in Daming, because Daming still needed Liu Yongcheng for its official ships and trade.

But this time, the couple Tang Xing and Jin Canju left their two sons in the care of the emperor and chose to go to sea again.

Only this time, Tang Xing won't leave this game behind. Tang Xing will go on a second round-the-world voyage and continue to explore the sea.

This time when Tang Xing left, he solemnly bid farewell to the emperor, Marquis of Zhenhai of Daming, and returned to the day of Daming, I don't know when.

Three months after King Yi left for Xidu, the Empress Dowager Sun of Daming who lived in the Palace of Compassionate Ning was seriously ill. Zhu Qiyu asked Daming's wives to visit her. The courtiers in the province thought it was some conspiracy of the emperor.

Empress Dowager Sun was already ill. As soon as King Yi left, she let go of her last concern. She couldn't afford to be ill. However, the Tai Hospital tried all the methods and still couldn't save her. It was because the patient did not cooperate with the treatment. On August 18th, Empress Dowager Sun passed away.

At the end, Zhu Qiyu didn't even take a look at it. Ever since he ascended the throne, Zhu Qiyu had never been to the Palace of Compassionate Ning. Every [-]th day, that is, Xing'an went to the Empress Dowager on behalf of the emperor.

All the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty knew that His Majesty the Emperor had a very small mind, and he was always worried about the things that Uncle Hui Chang did in Nan Ya when he usurped the court.

Uncle Huichang, Sun Zhong, hated himself when he was dying. He hated that when his eldest son, Sun Jizong, was born, he didn't strangle Sun Jizong to death, and sent all the families of Uncle Huichang's mansion into the underworld.

Sun Zhong is a person who is very good at intrigue and scheming. He is extremely disrespectful to the new emperor, but the new emperor's state affairs are complicated. As long as Huichang's mansion does not jump out, the emperor will not bother to take care of their uncle's mansion. Isn't it a good thing to be a rich man with the strong winds of sea trade?
Empress Dowager Sun was buried together in Xuanzong Mausoleum.

Empress Dowager Sun had just been buried, and the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, Chongwang Zhu Jianji, started another discussion about the feudal clan. This time, he went to a relatively nearby place, India, and the reward this time was still extremely generous. Another treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, which is a first-class warship , was rewarded to King Chong.

In the 20th year of Jingtai, Zhu Jianji bid farewell to the emperor and went to Songjiang Mansion, from Songjiang Mansion to the west to Ceylon.

After more than half a year, Zhu Jianji arrived at Chen Lunpo, Ceylon with the Fan fleet. The governor of Ceylon, Chen Shouyan, was still preparing to welcome him. For this reason, he specially supplemented the "Fan Guoyi Note" written by Hu Wei. Chen Shouyan lived overseas for a long time. I didn't understand the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and I was afraid of making a joke, so I conducted several drills.

As a result, the fleet of Emperor Chongwang of the Ming Dynasty did not reach Chen Lunpo at all, but went directly to India.

The just 20-year-old King Chong bumped into Buzain, who was living a happy life in India. Will six thousand soldiers be able to conquer a vast continent?
The answer is yes. In just three months, Buzain, the king of the Timur Kingdom, chose to surrender.

Chongwang Zhu Jianji actually led 200 people in person, directly broke into Bu Sayin's king's tent, and put the Yongle sword on Bu Sayin's neck. If he didn't surrender, he had to surrender.

Zhu Qiyu never knew that among his several children, only one had military talent, and it was a top-notch military talent, and that was the eldest son Zhu Jianji.

Zhu Jianji is well aware of his father's heart disease and has no military talent.

This is a knot in his father's heart, and it can even affect the succession of the throne. Zhu Jianji knew that if he showed his military talent early, the emperor might have to move Yi Chu's mind.

Bu Sayin was captured and sent to Daming with guns. Zhu Qiyu didn't know until the news came back to Daming, and he acted for his eldest son!
"Bastard boy!" Zhu Qiyu took the pond newspaper in his hand, slapped the table, walked around angrily, and suddenly stopped and said to Xing'an: "Preaching the decree to Xiyang, let King Chong return to Beijing, how dare you lie to me, look! It's over if I beat him or not, and he kept it from me for 19 years!"

This battle report is too outrageous. Zhu Jianji led 200 people to raid Buzain. What kind of strategy is this?
This is Yuan Bin's tactics!

Who can use this kind of tactics? !Without military talent, dare to do this?

Zhu Jianji has taught martial arts for more than nine years, and his martial arts grades have always been mediocre. Even Lu Zhong, who is in charge of teaching children martial arts, did not realize that Zhu Jianji has such abilities.

Zhu Jianji also has something to say. As far as the historical lessons of the Ming Dynasty are concerned, what is an emperor's heir with military talent?That was when King Yan was alive, and he was in Daming, so there was no room for him to display his military talent.

The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more he was wrong, and said to Xing'an: "I know he has great ambitions, and the foundation I have worked so hard to build, does he just look down on it? I am his shackles, and Daming is his shackles, right? !"

Zhu Qiyu was so angry, he had never been so angry since the death of King Jili.

"Your Majesty, Yu Shaobao wrote a letter to serve as an official." An eunuch holding a pen who was in charge of rituals broke into the Juxian Pavilion in a hurry, and said in panic.

Zhu Qiyu firmly grasped the armrest, and said tremblingly, "Bring me the memorial."

His hands were trembling a little, the veterans had been leaving for the past few years, he spread out the memorial, and he was slightly relieved.

Yu Qian is not sick, but just feels that he is old and lacks energy. He wants to take a break from his official career, unload the burden on his body, and give young people a chance.

"Let me just say, if there is a serious illness, the imperial hospital should report it." Zhu Qiyu held Yu Qian's memorial and heaved a sigh of relief.

　The book is gradually approaching the end, and the author is extremely reluctant.
