The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 315
Seeing that the feudal lords have already raised their interest, Zhu Ying naturally wanted to tell these feudal lords about the better places outside of Ming Dynasty.

However, at this moment, Xiang Wang Zhu Bo asked hesitantly: "Nephew, can you not go out and seal the country?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Not every vassal king wants to go overseas to seal the country.

In fact, only a few people who like to fight are very interested in this idea of ​​​​sealing the country overseas.

Like Zhu Di, Zhu Fang, Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen.

These people are naturally the first to bear the brunt,

But Qi Wang Zhu Yu and Shu Wang Zhu Chun actually wanted to live in their current feudal lands.

As for Zhou Wang Zhu Wei, he didn't have much to worry about, after all, he was already working for Zhu Ying.

Zhu Bo, King of Xiang, had a simpler idea. The so-called parents are still there, and they don’t travel far. Influenced by Taoist culture, there are no immortals in this world who will not be recognized by their relatives, so what he hopes more is to stay in Daming.

In this way, there is some time every year to come and visit the father.

It was just that Zhu Ying became slightly silent when she heard the words of King Zhu Bo of Xiang.

The reason why he proposed to enshrine the country overseas is that the ultimate purpose is to transfer the conflict between the vassal king and the emperor outward.

And this has a lot to do with his global layout.

Now, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as drawing a big cake first. What is the establishment of the inner court and the support of the Ming Dynasty? In fact, to a very high degree, it is still necessary to form economic control.

The most important thing is to educate the local aborigines like Muying's family, and slowly integrate them into the cultural circle of Daming.

Battlefield invasion is the most low-level method, like the Mongols, who ruled such a large territory, but after the collapse, nothing was left behind.

A large number of Mongols were also incorporated into the indigenous culture.

What Zhu Ying has to do is to create a real Chinese cultural circle.

Even if it is the territory of the vassal king, everyone wears Hanfu, writes Chinese characters, and speaks Chinese.

China has been divided and united for thousands of years. After all, the meat is in the same pot. Even the Menghua of the Yuan Dynasty has little impact on the entire Central Plains Dynasty.

This is the essence of culture.

Including many surrounding countries have also been impacted by Han culture.

Then why can't this kind of shock come more violently?

In this regard, Zhu Ying will never regress.

After a long time, Zhu Ying said slowly: "My nephew doesn't want my family's feelings to be affected, but there are some things that all uncles understand, and it's not that you can do whatever you want."

"In different positions, the way of thinking is naturally different. It is the most rare thing to be able to win the overseas seal of the country. Looking at the previous dynasties in history, there has never been such a precedent. It is the first time in the world."

"Of course, my nephew is also very clear that everyone has his own ambitions. Not everyone likes to seal off the country overseas, but in this regard, we can only feel a little wronged."

"In the territory of Ming Dynasty, from now on, all feudal lands must be taken back, and the prince's salary will be calculated separately. If he leads troops to fight, he can command troops and enter the court according to the method of ordinary generals."

Zhu Ying's words immediately made Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, and Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, look a little ugly.

On the contrary, King Zhu Bo of Xiang looked relaxed, as if he didn't take it to heart.

The other vassal kings, just like watching the excitement, each have their own ideas and plans.

"I don't know if there are any other rich places besides Wa Kingdom." Zhu Zhen, King of Chu, asked.

Zhu Zhen, king of Chu, can also be regarded as a group capable of writing and martial arts, and his personality is relatively gentle.

His luck was very good. When he was born, he happened to meet the good news of Wuchang. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and he directly designated him as the king of Chu and Wuchang as his vassal.

When I was 17 years old, I went to Wuchang to become a feudal clan.

Life in the feudal land is very comfortable, and now I have made a lot of contributions.

In the 15th year of Hongwu, Dayong and barbarians were pacified.

In April of the 18th year of Hongwu, Tang He, Duke of Xinguo, and Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiang Xia, put down the rebellion of the barbarians in Tongguwei and Sizhou.

In June, lead Tang Heping to pacify the barbarians in Jingzhou and Shanghuang.Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "Tang Heyan has a plan, and he is really my son."

In the 20th year of Hongwu, Yunnan was conquered and Alutu was captured alive.

In the 22nd year of Hongwu, the patriarchal mansion was first established, with Zhu Zhen, king of Chu, as the right patriarch.

In the 24th year of Hongwu, he conquered the Western Man and won a complete victory.

Looking at all the current generals of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhen, King of Chu, is definitely first-class, a true commander-in-chief.

In history, even if it was difficult for Zhu Dijing to seize the throne, he was very friendly to the sixth younger brother Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, and Zhu Zhen also cooperated in handing over the military power. He did not finally die until he was 61 years old.

The lineage of King Ming Chu also has a long history. There were some ridiculous incidents during the Jiajing period, but it was still the way it was. It was not until the end of Ming Dynasty that Zhang Xianzhong wiped it out.

The lineage of King Chu has been stationed in Wuchang for nearly 300 years in Daming.

Now, the choice Zhu Zhen has to face is to leave the domain.

What can be commanded by the army, can enter the court, it is all a matter of appearance.

He is a smart man, and he knows very well that there are only two choices at the moment.

Either seal the country overseas, or become a wealthy prince.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhen was still reluctant to give up military power and wanted to go out and fight.

If he could gain a firm foothold outside Daming and rely on Daming, he might be able to live more comfortably than he is now.

After all, by that time, it can be regarded as a real feudal kingdom.

Although there are certain risks in such things as sealing off a country overseas, Zhu Zhen feels that with his strategic and military capabilities, it may not be so difficult to do.

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "There are too many places. My nephew is living in the Western Regions. All uncles know about it. This experience has given my nephew a lot of insight."

"Many small countries are actually not unrich. Take Annan for example. Although there is a big obstacle between them and Daming, you guys know that the rice there can be grown three times a year, or even four times a year. cooked."

"Unfortunately, the aboriginals in Annan don't know that there are precious mountains in the sky. Many aboriginal tribes still make a living by hunting. If the people of Ming Dynasty go there, let alone enough food and clothing, there will be endless rice to eat."

"After ten or eight years of rectification, I am afraid that the people in the whole of Annan will have enough food in every household, and they can even transport a large amount of food directly to our Daming."

"You said this place is rich or not. In fact, there are many places like Annan. Not only Annan, but the surrounding countries are also in the same situation."

Zhu Ying's words made Zhu Zhen's blood boil.

Many vassal kings also suddenly showed a high quality, and even Zhu Di couldn't help but think in his eyes.

It is not an exaggeration according to Zhu Ying's statement that the rice that can't be eaten is not clear to any vassal king of the word.

"The emperor's nephew dispatched [-] elites to Annan some time ago, just for this purpose." Zhu Wei asked suddenly.

He was not enforcing the kingdom for Annan, but he became interested in the three-four-year-old rice, which fits well with his current research.

Zhu Ying naturally understood the meaning of Zhu Huan's words, and replied with a smile: "Fifth uncle, don't worry, my nephew has already ordered the seeding of this rice, and I will bring it back when they arrive in Annan. "

Zhu Wei nodded slightly, indicating that he had nothing else to say.

Now Zhu Xi, the whole process is to eat and taste wine. For what Zhu Ying said, it basically goes in the left ear and out the ear.

It was because I heard about Uncle One Year's rice that I wanted to study it.

"I don't know where Annan is, but I can still go there." Zhu Zhen couldn't help asking, obviously interested in Annan.

Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "Annan has already gone to the [-] elites, and arrangements have been made there. It is impossible for the time being, but apart from Annan, the surrounding area is also very good, and we can echo Annan from afar."

"Relatively speaking, it is much more stable."

"Places like Champa, Cambodia, and Laos are also good choices."

At this time, Zhu Chun, King of Shu, spoke up and asked, "The small countries mentioned by the emperor's nephew are all vassal states of our Ming Dynasty, and they all pay tribute. If this is a vassal state and seizes the throne, I am afraid it will easily attract criticism."

Among the many vassal kings, Zhu Chun is considered a different kind.

He did not inherit Zhu Yuanzhang's military talent, but instead inherited literary talent.

He likes reading and learning. He is known as a "scholar of Shu" in the imperial court.

In this life, he has never led troops to fight, but Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't mind, after all, now that the Ming Dynasty has been established, it doesn't mean that all sons should be able to write and fight.

Relatively speaking, Nengwen is currently more valued by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Chun, who wanted to be influenced by Confucian culture, obviously cared more about things like belonging to a country.

Zhu Ying looked at Zhu Chun with some surprise. He didn't expect that among the vassal kings, there were such people who really considered the interests of the country.

Zhu Ying explained with a smile: "Uncle Eleven misunderstood. Aren't the vassal states and the vassal states both ministers of Ming Dynasty? The relationship between them, in my nephew's opinion, is not very different."

"Furthermore, if all the uncles come over, as well as farmers and craftsmen, it will definitely make life better for the local aborigines. Uncle Eleven doesn't know that in the Western Regions, many small countries want to be merged into Ming Dynasty. , there is no chance."

"It is true that in such a situation, there will naturally be some conflicts with the royal families of these small countries. Perhaps some royal families even have objections."

"But for the people of the whole country, that's completely different."

"They naturally want to live a life of food and clothing. We can't reject the majority just because the minority disagrees."

"Besides, those royal families are not meant to be revoked. At that time, they can be brought to the capital, and the throne can still be retained. They can also receive a generous salary from the court."

"Even their salaries can be linked to the annual revenue of the feudal kingdom. If the feudal state develops better, their salaries will naturally be higher. Wouldn't that be better?"

Listening to Zhu Ying's sophistry, Zhu Chun subconsciously wanted to argue.

But after a little silence, he gave up.

Although Zhu Yingzai is the only one who mentioned this matter just now, everyone knows that it is impossible to change this.

For example, Zhu Di, Zhu Yan, and Zhu Xi, the three leading brothers, have already confirmed this plan.

Naturally, it is difficult for those younger brothers to refute.

Zhu Chun felt a little pity that the palace of the King of Shu that he built with great difficulty had only passed ten years, and he could only leave with tears in his eyes.

In fact, in terms of relationship, the relationship between Zhu Chun and Zhu Ying is still very close.

Zhu Chun's main concubine is Lan Yu's daughter.

"Imperial nephew, for the time being, only the third and fourth younger brothers have gone to the Wa country. The emperor also said just now that after the Wa country is completely taken down, it will be divided into three kingdoms. I don't know if there is anyone for the third vassal state."

Zhu Xi asked.

Annan couldn't get it, and Zhu Xi was more concerned about the Wa Kingdom.

After all, attacking the Wa country is an imperative road for the Ming Dynasty. It is naturally much easier to conscript with a large army to protect it.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying certainly understood what King Qin Zhu Xi meant, but Zhu Ying didn't really want Zhu Xi to go there.

Compared with Zhu Di, the relationship between Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu is naturally much better. If it takes a long time, it will definitely put a lot of pressure on Zhu Di. Zhu Ying does not want to see such a situation.

What Zhu Ying wanted to see was to add a weaker third party to form a situation where Zhu Di and Zhu Wei were fighting against each other in the Japanese country.

Relatively speaking, such a situation is more able to stabilize the situation in the Wa Kingdom, and this balance point is not so easy to be broken.

And for Zhu Ying, it can also form a certain degree of economic control.

Facing Zhu Xi's words, after thinking for a while, Zhu Ying said, "Actually, the current Goryeo is also a very good place."

"Among them, Koryo's advantage lies in its geographical location. For Daming, it is also very important. On the one hand, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its maritime trade can also be very rich."

"It intersects with the country of Wa. In the future, the silver production of the country of Wa will be very convenient and fast to sail through Tsushima Island."

When Zhu Xi heard this, he stopped talking.

In his heart, Goryeo is indeed a very good place.

The most famous thing about Goryeo is that it was not conquered in the three expeditions of the Sui Dynasty. Although he has never been there, he has heard of Goryeo's famous tweets.

Moreover, Koryo is also very close to Daming, even if you cross the Yalu River.

On the opposite side of the coast is the country of Wa, and with maritime trade, compared with many places in Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as relatively rich.

Seeing that Zhu Xi didn't continue, Zhu Ying didn't explain too much.

Goryeo is very big. Although it is smaller than Japan as a whole, it is all on the mainland, not an island country.

Especially when it is connected with Ming Dynasty, the strategic area is more important, so it is naturally impossible to hand over all of them to Zhu Xi.

However, there is no need to say these words now.

So far, all the vassals have basically understood Zhu Ying's intentions. Although some vassals are unwilling, the thorns in the middle, such as Zhu Di, Zhu Yan, Zhu Yu, and Zhu Yu, are relatively capable of fighting.

After fighting for many years and still having a lot of credit, the vassal kings who are in control of the military still think that the suggestion of enforcing the country overseas is good.

Besides, people like Zhu Di are always daring to fight and fight hard, and enforcing the country overseas is more in line with his new ideas.

The current vassal kings who are already in the vassal are all here.

If they are dealt with, those who have not settled down later, naturally, the problem is not big, even if they are reluctant, they can only follow the arrangement.

Zhu Ying still felt very satisfied with this plan.

Especially for the territory of Ming Dynasty.

As the saying goes: the prince guards the gate of the country, and the vassal king dies in the country.

That's it.
