The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 195 Welcome Big Brother Back to the Palace!

20 troops! ! !
Immediately, Zhu Ying felt that her situation was really small.

This is not to plan for Annan, it is completely a flat push.

Later generations Zhu Di sent more than 20 people to fight Annan, but the current number of more than 20 people in the early Ming Dynasty is much stronger than that of Zhu Di Yongle.

"Grandpa, there is no need for so many people. The burden is too great. There are 5 people, which is completely enough."

Zhu Ying said speechlessly, he didn't expect the old man to be so ruthless.

You must know that Annan is listed as a country that will not be conquered, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like the small country of Annan at all.

Now that I know about the rich rice, especially the word Four Seasons Rice, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately ignited.

"You baby, we're not talking about you. Although Annan is small, he has millions of people. Don't underestimate him. Although the combat power is not strong, the number of soldiers should be more than 50. Otherwise, why don't you think we didn't fight him?"

Ming Dynasty had some understanding of the situation of various countries. Zhu Yuanzhang listed Annan as a country not to be conquered, of course he had his own considerations.

It's just that these understandings are very limited, probably just the laughter of the country, the population and soldiers.

I don't care about the economy, culture, or local characteristics.

Zhu Ying couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, we are now sending troops to assist at the request of the Annan royal family. Fifty thousand is already a lot. If there is more, it will affect the local balance."

The 20 troops passed by, and Zhu Ying knew very well that it would definitely arouse the hatred of the same enemy, and at that time, he would have to pay a greater price.

An army of [-] is a relatively acceptable number, and it can also intervene in the entire Annan Kingdom. The most important thing is to understand the local situation, and the soldiers will also have a sense of familiarity.

The people of Annan Kingdom will be more receptive in the future.

"Okay, listen to my grandson, but things like food should be done quickly. Our Ming Dynasty is short of food everywhere now." Zhu Yuanzhang said after hearing the words.

Regarding the situation in An Nanguo, Dasun probably knew better than himself.

With the old man's permission, Zhu Ying started to gather disciples.

In fact, 5 people set off, but it was just a matter of decree. The key point was that Zhu Ying must call at least [-] disciples to go there.

And before the past, but also to be trained.

In the past, the [-] army was not for war, but a deterrent force, and the thirty disciples accompanying them were the key to this.

Among Zhu Ying's hundreds of disciples, each of them is not a small character, and each of them has undergone strict training from Zhu Ying before they can become disciples.

The roles played by these disciples in the past are similar to the concept of political commissars in later generations.

One is the ideological guidance of the army, and the other is the integration of vertical and horizontal forces for the entire Annan Kingdom.

It only needs to create a suitable time to completely take An Nanguo down.

At present, Zhu Ying has no intention of ruling Annan in the name of Daming.

The ultimate goal is to demilitarize and de-officialize the entire Annan Kingdom.

All officials are appointed by Ming Dynasty, all military forces belong to Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers recruited in Annan Kingdom are transferred to other areas of Ming Dynasty.

Currency, economy, law, even customs and culture, all are close to Ming Dynasty.

Taxes are also collected by the Ming government.

Just keep the Annan royal family temporarily. As for the follow-up, it depends on the situation.

The purpose of the Annan royal family is to drive away tigers and devour wolves, but Daming is not a tiger, but a dragon.

Annan is destined to undergo tremendous changes in the future.

Fortunately, it was Liu Sheng who summoned most of the disciples here in order to worry about Zhu Ying's situation in the capital.

At present, there are still more than 50 disciples who have entered the capital or arrived near the capital.

All personnel can be assembled within two days.

For this reason, the training of the palace guards can only be postponed for a few days before doing it.

"he came."

In the Hall of Spring Harmony, Mrs. Lu said to Zhu Yunqi indifferently.

Zhu Ying entered the Kunning Palace last night, and soon got the news when Mrs. Lu had already noticed it.

The news of Zhu Ying's entry into the palace has basically been heard by all the officials in the palace.

After the ferment of entering the palace last time, and the deliberate dissemination of several eunuchs in the inner department, Zhu Ying's identity is about to be revealed.

"Mom, I'm going to see my eldest brother."

Zhu Yunxuan's tone was a little nervous. After confirming the address of his elder brother from Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue, he once worked up the courage to go there once.

However, Zhu Ying was training in the barracks at the time, and Zhu Yunqi had no choice but to miss out.

But in Zhu Yunqi's heart, he was actually somewhat resistant to meeting his eldest brother, even a little scared.

He knew that once he met his eldest brother, things would be completely different, which meant that he would never have any chance.

It's just that his mother told him that he had to go, even if it was to show the grandpa the emperor, he had to pretend to be brotherly.

The weather in June changed as it said, and when Zhu Yunqi was still hesitating, the sky was already covered with dark clouds.

It started to rain crackling.

Obviously, depending on the situation, it doesn't take long for there to be continuous rainstorms.

"Go, visit your elder brother after dinner, remember, you must be sincere, and don't let your elder brother misunderstand." Lu urged.

She knew very well that His Majesty would definitely listen to Zhu Xiongying's opinion whether it was enfeoffment or other aspects in the future.

Moreover, His Majesty is already very old. The so-called country cannot live without a king. He will definitely complete the stage of power transition quickly to prevent any accidents.

Everyone has lived in Kunning Palace, so there is no need to think about other things, let's focus on the present first.

Although Zhu Yunqi was unwilling, he finally decided to go there according to his mother's arrangement and meet his elder brother.

The rain fell quickly, but this is the palace, and eunuchs had already prepared umbrellas.

After receiving the news that his eldest brother had returned to Kunning Palace, Zhu Yunqi was ready to leave.

At this moment, Zhu Ying is meeting his uncle Lan Rong in Kunning Palace.

Yesterday, Zhu Ying had inspected the Twelve Guards of the Son of Heaven, including Jin Yiwei, and he found a serious problem.

Even the current palace guards are basically old soldiers who have fought with the old man for many years. In terms of loyalty, there is no doubt about it.

But there is another key problem. At present, the age of the palace guards has generally begun to age.

It is estimated that the age of the twelve guards of the entire court is already around 40 years old.

For a soldier, this can be regarded as the pinnacle, whether it is combat experience or obedience.

But as far as the body is concerned, it has already begun to go downhill.

This means that the high-intensity training that Zhu Ying will arrange next cannot be carried out.

Human nature is very delicate, and Zhu Ying couldn't directly eliminate these older soldiers, which would easily lead to misunderstandings.

As a result, the soldiers were in a chilling state, which did not meet Zhu Ying's expectations.

As for how to place these older soldiers, Zhu Ying already had a plan in mind, and Lan Rong was the first person Zhu Ying wanted to persuade.

"Uncle, everything is fine recently." Zhu Ying asked with a smile.

Hearing Zhu Ying asking about her physical condition, Lan Rong's eyes flashed a hint of understanding.

Then he said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. I feel a little strenuous recently. I'm getting older, and I can't bear it anymore."

Looking at Lan Rong's appearance with white beard and hair, Zhu Ying sighed in her heart. From the tone and eyes just now, there was a feeling of twilight.

This year, Lan Rong is 62 years old and still working as a commander.

"Uncle, don't think about it too much. Recently, my grandfather intends to let me integrate the twelve guards, but the content of the drill is too strenuous. I think that if I am older, I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it."

"Of course I know very well that everyone is a soldier who has fought with Grandpa. It's not that I want to leave the Twelve Guards, but I want to make some changes to the Twelve Guards."

"In order to avoid misunderstandings among the officers and soldiers, I purposely discussed it with my uncle in detail first. In this matter, I can rely on my uncle to help me."

Zhu Ying said slowly, the 62-year-old Lan Rong is still very prestigious in the entire Twelve Guards.

"Your Highness just talk, the veteran can help, and will never be vague." Lan Rong said immediately.

Zhu Ying nodded. After all, she is also a relative of her natal family, so there must be no problem in this regard.

Next, Zhu Ying talked about her thoughts.

For the entire twelve guards, those who are over 35 years old will undergo a separate restructuring, and the guards will be reorganized.

For those under the age of 35, the mixed integration is also re-adjusted to be similar to the guard of honor.

Among them, the responsibilities will basically not change, but a new training program for those under the age of 35.

For such a thing, Lan Rong should naturally agree, and there is no reason to refuse.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang himself has carried out a lot of reforms like this, and the Twelve Guards of the Son of Heaven have also made several adjustments.

Looking at the weather outside, Zhu Ying kept Lan Rong for dinner before letting Lan Rong leave.

It was raining heavily outside, and Zhu Ying didn't bother to move, so she started reviewing the memorial directly in Kunning Palace.

In front of Qianqing Palace, the old man is discussing with many ministers, mainly about the arrangement and details of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes.

"It's unbelievable that there are such high-yielding crops in this world, which can yield thousands of catties per mu, and are also resistant to cold and drought. This is simply a gift from God."

"The world is so big that there are so many wonders. Such crops have never been heard of for thousands of years. If His Majesty has not personally verified it, anyone who tells me will not believe it."

Many ministers sighed one after another, and at the same time, their faces showed extremely excited expressions.

They have been in politics for many years, of course they understand the significance of these crops to the entire Ming Dynasty, and countless people will die because of it.

These days, who hasn't seen the suffering of famine? Those scenes really make people weep.

People in famine, for the false sense of satiety, eat Guanyin soil until they are full, not a few.

"May I ask Your Majesty, where these deeds are currently being planted, and whether the ministers can watch them." A minister proposed.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the crops have already started to be planted. After a round of harvest, the yield per mu will be measured, and then it will be arranged by various ministries and distributed to the people."

"What you need to do now is to list the rules after distribution."

Hearing His Majesty's reply, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but no one dared to say a word about such an issue as it concerns the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

Food is the most important thing for the people. It is not a simple sentence, but a real existence.

At the end of the dynasty, there was always a famine among the people. If they could have enough to eat, who would go to work like rebellion, which would kill their heads?

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, where do these god-given crops come from? I don't know if I can know." Zhan Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, asked.

Seeing that it was Zhan Shangshu who spoke, everyone fell silent, waiting for His Majesty's answer.

Among these important ministers, only Zhan Hui had the courage to ask His Majesty directly.

When Zhan Hui was still a scholar, he had already served as the supervisory censor, and he is now the official minister.

Speaking of which, Zhan Tong, Zhan Hui's father, was also an official to the Ministry of Officials and a Hanlin scholar.

One school and two ministers, who were able to take office in this way during the Hongwu period, were Zhan Hui and his son. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang valued his father and son.

However, Zhan Hui's character has a problem with that of Yang Xiu, Cao Cao's master book during the Three Kingdoms period.

Just as later generations commented on Zhan Hui: "Hui Cai is sensitive and decisive, and he is the most appointed by the Supreme Court."However, it is easy to see the purpose, and it will eventually lead to disaster. '

A good peek at the purpose is to point out that Zhan Hui likes to spy on the minds of superiors and buy talent and learning.

Of course, such a person will not end well. In the historical Lanyu case, Zhan Hui went to interrogate Lanyu, and Lanyu said that you are my accomplice.It was just like this, which led to Zhan Hui being implicated and killed.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhan Hui's question, he thought in silence for a while, and then said:
"The one who sent these crops was none other than our prince's eldest son, Huangming's eldest grandson, Yu Wang Xiongying."

When speaking of the last four words, Yu Wang Xiongying, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his tone was full of absolute trust.

These words were like a thunderbolt, directly exploding among several ministers.

Currently in front of Zhu Yuanzhang are five ministers and three palace scholars.

The eight people were all shocked, they felt it was difficult to breathe, and they looked at each other in blank dismay when they reacted.

Even for the talkative Zhan Hui, his throat rolled, but he didn't say a word.

He likes to buy and play, but he is not a fool.

Who is His Royal Highness King Yu? He is His Highness the eldest grandson who passed away ten years ago. Now His Majesty suddenly mentioned it, so that everyone didn't know how to answer, and they dared not speak up.

"Why, you think we're just kidding you guys. Ten years ago, my eldest grandson, the earth dragon tumbled in the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the coffin fell into the underground river. He escaped by chance, but his memory is lost."

"As expected of our great grandson, he wandered in the wild for ten years and created a great foundation. Now he is bringing back high-yield crops and will save tens of millions of people."

"God bless Daming! God bless my grandson!"

Seeing that several ministers were silent, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in a low voice, and then gradually raised his voice.

Recalling what the great grandson had done, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help applauding him.

Although many ministers have doubts, but His Majesty has said so, it can be false.

Even if it is fake, it is not something they can question or dare to question.

Seeing this, Zhan Hui immediately stood up and prostrated himself on the ground, shouting loudly: "God bless Your Majesty, God bless Your Highness Grandson!!!"

Seeing this, the other ministers immediately followed and shouted in unison.

At this time, Zhu Yinggao was sitting on the chair on the high platform in the main hall of Kunning Palace, looking at Zhu Yunqi who was standing next to him.

Below, Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath, buried the shock in his eyes, and bowed deeply:

"Brother Yunwen, pay homage to elder brother! Welcome elder brother back to the palace!"
