The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 347 Willing to be Ming Dynasty

In Liaodong, Nuergan is too cold, and it has been a place of bitter cold since ancient times.

It is the season of today, with layers of goose feathers and heavy snow, and thousands of miles of ice.

People can only hide indoors in the heated kang. The snow is a little heavier, and even the door has to be sealed.

Like the water tank at home, it looks like a big lump of ice the next day, it can't be smashed by an axe, it's as solid as a rock.

The so-called scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of snow, nothing more.

This is the consensus of the people, so if you want to get so many people who have migrated, even if the government comes forward, there will be some resistance.

For example, Jiangnan has experienced two large-scale migrations, and now its vitality has been seriously injured.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying set their sights on the people at the lowest level, who did not have their own farms.

Among them, refugees and beggars are the most.

In the early morning of the next day, at Fengtian Hall.

"We want to announce a news, a news that will affect our Daming Guozuo and future generations."

"According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, there is a large amount of black soil in the Nuergan area of ​​Liaodong. These black soils that have been neglected are the most fertile soil in the world today."

"The fertility of the black soil does not require any irrigation, but the yields of crops planted on it are multiplied, especially the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops that have recently been planted in the capital."

"Planting on this black soil, the last thing is to yield a thousand catties per mu, or even thousands of catties. How can such a fertile land be left alone?"

"If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed instead."

"Ministers, let's discuss what should happen to this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair did not sit down, but stood up and said loudly.

After the voice fell, there was a great disturbance in the hall.

"It's unbelievable that there is such a fertile land in the world."

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. Those crops that yield thousands of catties per mu can appear, so there is naturally such fertile land. From my point of view, these Liaodong black soils are prepared for the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns of our Ming Dynasty."

"Otherwise, why would it suddenly appear when the crops are abundant? As His Majesty said, it is really a gift from heaven."

"It's just that Liaodong, where Nuergan is located, is on the border of our Ming Dynasty. The west is threatened by the grassland tribes, and the southeast coast is even more dangerous. It is close to Korea, and there are many changes."

"How many soldiers and civilians are needed to keep the land reclamation, mighty and mighty, could it be that millions of people are needed."

After the ministers were shocked, they immediately started discussing with great interest, whispering to each other.

Among the remarks, among other things, naturally no one would suspect that the black soil matter His Majesty said was tricky.

Although Jin Yiwei is notorious, but when it comes to running errands, people really have nothing to say, especially when it involves the foundation of Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I have a performance." Liu Sanwu of the Imperial Academy stepped forward and said loudly.

Immediately, the noisy atmosphere subsided, and then began to quiet down.

"Quite playing." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in response.

Liu Sanwu said: "Your Majesty, such an important matter is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. How can it be publicly announced in the court hall? It's a small matter. It will have a great impact if it is passed on."

"Nu'ergan in Liaodong, there are many ethnic groups. There are few Han people in our Ming Dynasty, and the people are extremely vicious. If we get the news and occupy this good black soil, it will be a big loss for our Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Sanwu's tone was full of remorse.

After hearing this, many ministers nodded in agreement.

Amongst all the civil and military officials, among the many princes, Zhu Di, who had half-closed his eyes, opened them in vain.

Liaodong is close to Beiping, and he knows the situation there best.

Zhu Di had also seen the black soil mentioned by his father, but he never thought that these black soils were so fertile.

For a while, Zhu Di's thoughts about going to Japan began to fade.

'If you can stay in Beiping and guard Liaodong, what should you do? '

Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt a trace of regret in his heart.

In the court hall, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Ai Qing is too worried. This black soil does not mean hundreds or thousands of acres. According to investigations, the black soil occupies millions of miles. It is all high-quality fertile land place."

"It's so big that it needs to count 10 people. How can such a movement be concealed?"

Liu Sanwu heard the words and said: "It's my minister Meng Lang, who is worrying about nothing."

After finishing speaking, he backed away with an excited look on his face.

In this Fengtian Temple, no matter which minister it is, in terms of patriotism, there is no problem with the designation.

The rise and fall, everyone is responsible.

Who doesn't want their own country to be stronger.

Even if it is a corrupt official, I hope so, it is easier to be corrupt anyway.

At this time, Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, took a step forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have a request to attend."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Quite play."

Ru Yu said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, nearly 50 of our Ming army has been dispatched to the southeast coast, and there are also hundreds of thousands of sailors going together."

"Shipyards all over the world are also making great efforts to manufacture seagoing ships. Just wait for the spring of the next year, and conquer the Japanese kingdom in order to seek disobedience."

"Nu'ergan in Liaodong now has millions of miles of fertile land, and the army he belongs to must not be a small number. If we continue to dispatch the army and act bilaterally, the interior of our Ming Dynasty will be empty."

"There are also Shaanxi rebels who occupy one side and wait for a large army to suppress the rebellion."

"The harm between the two powers is the lesser, so I think that it is possible to temporarily conquer the Japanese country and guard the Liaodong Nuergan first."

As soon as Ru Yu said this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Ru Yu's words. From the perspective of his Minister of War, he divided the Ming army into three groups.

Cut down Japanese, rehabilitate, suppress Liao.

Calling armies in the millions.

If everything goes well, then needless to say, it can be said that a general does not think about victory, but first thinks about defeat, so he can fight a hundred battles without being imperiled.

Among these three parties, the focus is on cutting down Japanese and suppressing Liao.

The Shaanxi rebels are still inland, and they also said that if there is a problem between the two parties, it is not a small problem.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Based on what Ru Shangshu saw, what should we do?"

As the person who met His Highness the Grandson for the first time, Ru Yu naturally knew it well.

The purpose of going to the Wa country is for silver and money.

Guarding Liaodong is for fertile soil and food.

Food can be used as money, but silver cannot be turned into food.

"I think that guarding Liaodong slaves should be the main priority, followed by hunting down the Japanese."

"Although the problem of Japanese pirates is extremely important, it is slightly weaker than millions of fertile lands."

"Before the spring of this year, if most of the grain seeds can be sown on the fertile soil, and a huge amount of grain can be obtained in the summer, how many people will be able to live?"

"Even if there are natural disasters, there is no need to worry about not having enough food, and the north is barren and barren, and the people are suffering. This will surely enrich the people in the north."

Ru Yu said with a heavy tone.

And at this time, the one with the brightest eyes is Zhu Di.

Really dozed off to send pillows.

Just now he was thinking in his heart that it would be fine if he didn't kill the Japanese.

Nuergan in Liaodong has a vast land and few people. The folk customs of various ethnic groups are tough, and most of them are fishing and hunting.

And there are various tribes in the grassland watching.

If the army goes there, it must be led by a familiar general.

Zhu Di, king of Yan, was a vassal in Beiping, and he dealt with all ethnic groups in the grassland all the year round, and Nuergan in Liaodong was very familiar with him.

Years of fighting, few defeats.

Coupled with the fact that Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang, was demoted in Ming Dynasty to the Chief Superintendent of the Department of Public Security, in terms of the current court, who else has more qualifications and experience than him.

Even if he is unlikely to be the commander alone, as long as he can go there, controlling such a place is not much better than some barbarian Japanese country?
Moreover, such places, the most important places in the country, must have wars for a long time.

This gave him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di faintly revealed a trace of excitement in his eyes.

"Don't think about it too much, you are a vegetarian, and you will let the fourth brother let you go there?"

"Heh, even if the Duke of Liangliang is going to go, he may not let you go. Who else doesn't know what you are thinking?"

Just when Zhu Di was secretly happy, a familiar voice came from beside him in a low voice.

It turned out to be Jin Wang Zhu Yan, who had discovered Zhu Di's clues a long time ago, and observed carefully.

The so-called one who knows oneself best is precisely the opponent.

Zhu Yan is smart, and Zhu Di's thought was easily guessed by him.

Then he moved a few steps and said directly in Zhu Di's ear.

After Zhu Di heard it, his face was frightened and angry, but after Zhu Yan finished speaking, he immediately backed away without giving him a chance to answer.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing, but there was nothing he could do.

This is Fengtian Temple, so you can't argue here.

After taking two deep breaths, Zhu Di finally settled down.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the court hall, and everyone agreed with Ru Xun's words.

But Zhu Ying frowned.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Grandpa, what Ru Shangshu said is reasonable, and the conquest of the Japanese kingdom does not only involve Daming."

"Today, Daoyan, the new teacher of Goryeo, has transferred 20 Goryeo troops to the coast of Pusan ​​in order to cooperate with my conquest of Japan after the beginning of spring in the Ming Dynasty. A few days ago, [-] pioneers went out to sea and occupied Tsushima Island."

"Just wait until the spring of next year, and we will march together with Ming Dynasty to conquer the Wa country."

"Koryo and Liaodong are just separated by a river. If we rashly give up the matter of defeating the Japanese, the Goryeo army will go deep alone, and I am afraid that the follow-up will be difficult."

"In this way, it's a small matter to have a bad relationship with Goryeo, but it's a big deal to damage Daming's prestige. Such a morally corrupt act will be among all nations in the future. Why should I, Daming, be in command?"

If he really followed Ru Yu's way, Daoyan's side would be in a terrible situation.

Not to mention the dilemma, the signboard of the national teacher alone must have been smashed.

It is inevitable that the army's morale will be scattered. You must know that the current Koryo army is holding back their breath and conquering the Japanese country to avenge their feuds.

It can be said that the arrow is on the string and has to be launched.

In this conquest of the Japanese kingdom, Daming was originally the main force, Koryo was the auxiliary, and the main battlefield was still on Daming's side.

Now that he gave up all of a sudden, with the army of Koryo, there is no way to defeat the Wa country.

Even though the current Wa country has just ended the civil strife and lacks in combat power, it is still much stronger than Goryeo.

If Goryeo really had this strength, he would have gone to the Wa country a long time ago.

I won't say wait until now.

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, the first person to be proud was naturally Jin Wang Zhu Yan.

I saw him looking at Zhu Di with bright eyes, as if saying: Look, I knew it was not that simple.

Zhu Di clenched his teeth.

It's not because of Zhu Ying's words, but because of standing next to Zhu Ying at the court meeting.

Who can always stand such a tease.

He really wanted to stay away from Zhu Bian and change his position, even standing behind the minister.

But this position is not something he can change if he wants to.

In this court, especially as a vassal, in front of his father, no matter how much hatred he has, he must endure it.

Brother respectful and humble, even if it is just an appearance, you have to do it.

There seemed to be a lot of discussions in the courtroom, but there was never a lack of eyes on the vassal kings, especially those censors, who were all struggling without food and making troubles all day long.

If there is any violation of etiquette, you can go to the father to sue.

Some reprimands are inevitable, but the most worrying thing is that it will affect the impression in the father's heart.

Zhu Yan didn't care, but Zhu Di did.

If it affects the impression in the father's heart, there are too many things, it will be difficult to handle.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di slightly closed his eyes.

I will bear it, I will bear it again, I will continue to bear it!
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth curled up, as long as he saw Zhu Di deflated, he would be very happy.

On the dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

Dasun's words can be regarded as reaching his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very concerned about face, especially Ming's face. If something like this really happened and made Goryeo feel embarrassed, how would the tributary states treat it?
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't accept this point the most.

Furthermore, the conquest of the Japanese kingdom had already been planned for several months, and it had been prepared for several months, and the fight was suddenly stopped. Wouldn't this make the Japanese pirates even more arrogant and fuel their arrogance.

For the Japanese country, Zhu Yuanzhang hated it from the bottom of his heart.

It's too disrespectful to Daming. If he had surrendered honestly back then, it would be fine.

At that time, seven envoys of the Ming Dynasty went to the country of Wa to preach the decree.

Five people were killed and two were detained.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was furious, immediately sent another envoy to submit the declaration of war.

At that time, it was Prince Huailiang who controlled the state affairs of the Southern Dynasties, and he was also extremely arrogant. He wrote back to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"I heard that the three emperors established the pole, and the five emperors were in the Zen sect. Only China has a master. How can there be barbarians without a monarch.
Your Majesty is the lord of China, the lord of ten thousand chariots, with thousands of cities and millions of miles of territory sealed off, there is still a sense of inadequacy, and there is always the intention of extinction. .
I heard that the Heavenly Dynasty has a strategy to promote war, and the small state also has a plan to defend against the enemy. When we meet in front of Helan Mountain, we will chat and play games. Why should I be afraid!Special envoys, respectfully kowtow to your majesty Dan, only the map of the country! "

What Prince Huailiang means is that you, Zhu Yuanzhang, are not worthy of being the Lord of China, and it even means to insult you publicly.

At the same time, it is strictly stated that if you conquer our country, I will accompany you to the end.

How can Zhu Yuanzhang endure this?

Since proclaiming himself emperor, he has chased death and chased the north, expelled the Tartars, restored China, and rebuilt the country of China.

The once invincible Mongolian cavalry fled to Mobei.

His martial arts and martial arts can be said to have shocked the world. Wherever the Guoshu went, everyone in the surrounding barbarians knelt down and obeyed.

Just the thorn in the Japanese country, such an open confrontation.

But in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed the breath abruptly.

But this also became an extremely unhappy matter in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Now that it was about to be fought, someone jumped out and said no.

How can it hurt Daming's demeanor.

"If the Japanese country is to be conquered, Liaodong must be defended, and the rebels in Shaanxi must be wiped out."

After a long silence, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon chair again and said loudly.

"We used to conquer the world, and our soldiers were scarce, and we had Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, who had more money and more soldiers than us."

"Looking at the past and present, they have turned into dust, and we have established this brilliant Ming Dynasty!"

"Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has tens of thousands of miles of territory and millions of soldiers. But don't you even dare to fight the rebels and Japanese pirates in this area?"

"The Liaodong, Nuergan, also belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and those people are also the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"What, it's because our soldiers are old and can't lift their swords anymore, or because they are fascinated by the glory and wealth, and they no longer have the lofty ambitions of the past!!!"

"Tell us, it's like this!!!"

Finally, at this point, Zhu Yuanzhang completely broke out the anger that had been suppressed by the Japanese nation for many years.

Facing His Majesty's roar, all civil and military officials, and many vassal kings, all kowtowed to the ground.

In the ranks of military officers, one person went forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists in the ceremony of a general, and said: "My minister, Fu Youde, I wish to take all the heads of the disobedient ministers of the Japanese kingdom for your majesty, so as to uphold the majesty of my great Ming!"

Then Song Guogong Feng Sheng also came out and saluted with fists: "Feng Sheng, the minister, is willing to be the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty, and conquer the ministers who are not!"

Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Ying Guogong Fu Youde.

This is a military leader with more qualifications than Liang Guogong Lan Yu.

Sapphire used to be just a lieutenant under their command.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, Feng Sheng served as a general, led Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others to expedition to Liaodong, surrendered Nahachu, wiped out the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong, and was named Song Guogong.

In the autumn of the 14th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Fu Youde as the general who conquered the South, and Lan Yu and Mu Ying as the deputy generals, and led an expedition of 30 troops to Yunnan and Guizhou.

Guizhou and Yunnan were pacified in just over a hundred days.

With the appearance of the two big men, the Dudufu of the Five Armies couldn't bear it any longer, they got up and walked forward one after another, and said with the courtesy of the army:
"Minister Cao Zhen."

"Minister Zhang Yi."

"Minister Zhu Shou."

"My minister, Wang Bi."

"Master Ye Sheng."

"Minister He Rong.".
"Wish to be the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty, conquer the disobedient ministers!!!"

Many military generals over the years, who have made great military exploits and killed countless people, have come from the mountain of bloody corpses to today.

Now that His Majesty is furious, as a minister, you should empathize with him and step forward bravely to fight bloody battles for His Majesty.

The sound of furious and violent drinking resounded in Fengtian Palace.

Although there are only a dozen or so short officials in civil and military affairs, they seem to have the potential of thousands of troops.

Some timid civil servants were trembling, their livers and gallbladders were cracked, and their feet were limp.

Fortunately, I was kneeling, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Military spirit is available! ! !

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, and said: "Our decree states that the conquest of the Japanese kingdom will remain unchanged, and the rebels in Shaanxi will also be punished. We are planning to dispatch 30 troops, 20 civilians, and [-] cattle to reclaim Nuergan in Liaodong."

"In addition, I will tell the world about the fertile soil of thousands of miles of slaves in Liaodong. Anyone who is willing to go with his family will be resettled by the government, and the tax will be halved within three years."

After the voice fell, the officials shouted long live!
After the morning court, Zhu Ying felt that the boiling blood in her body hadn't cooled down yet.

The majesty of Emperor Hongwu can be seen.

I think back to when I was fighting the world, how magnificent it was!

Thinking like this, he walked to the Kunning Palace, and a person was waiting in front of him.

It was Song Zhong.

"Song Zhong pays his respects to His Highness."

Zhu Ying was a little surprised, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

Generally speaking, Song Zhong is in charge of matters in the Jinyiwei yamen, so waiting after the early court, it can be seen that there must be something.

After saluting, Song Zhong said: "Your Highness, this matter is about Zhang Qianhu. I don't know what to do, so I have to ask Your Highness for instructions."

Zhu Ying nodded lightly when she heard the words, and said, "Follow me to the hall to talk."

Song Zhong hurriedly said: "I obey the order."

In the hall, Song Zhong didn't say much, just took out the files related to Zhang San from his arms, and made friends with His Highness Grandson to investigate.

Zhu Ying took it and started to read it.

Soon, Zhu Ying understood the details of Zhang San's matter.

"According to the rules of Jinyiwei, how to deal with Zhang San's matter. I don't want to listen to it. It is what it is, and it is what it is."

Zhu Ying frowned and asked.

Song Zhongxin trembled, and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, according to the Jinyiwei's internal regulations, Zhang Qianhu and others will be detained first, and then the affiliation will be investigated separately, and the investigation will be dismissed."

After Zhu Ying listened, she didn't say anything, she flicked her fingertips on the table a few times and said: "This matter happened yesterday, and you only came to report it to me today. I think you have already investigated the internal relationship."

"Tell me, what is the relationship between Zhang San and that Lu Shuang? Is this Lu family involved in harvesting, cutting, and human trafficking?"

Song Zhong didn't dare to lie, so he quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, according to my investigation, it is indeed the first time that Zhang Qianhu and Lu Shuang, the granddaughter of Lu's parents, have met, and they have not had any contact before."

"The head of the Lu family, Lu Hongzhi, has contacts with the Beggars' Clan, but there is no such thing as harvesting, cutting, or human trafficking."

After Zhu Ying heard the words, she was also a little puzzled.

Zhang San is an honest man, and Zhu Ying knows this.

And because of some encounters in his early years, Zhang San didn't have much desire for women.

According to common sense, this is not the case.

Too lazy to think about it, Zhu Ying said directly: "Order Zhang San to come to the palace quickly."

Song Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, the matter was left to His Highness to handle anyway.

He himself didn't have the courage to deal with Zhang San without authorization.

"I obey His Royal Highness's order." Song Zhong bowed and saluted.

Watching and Song Zhong leave, Zhu Ying was also pondering.

This matter can be big or small, but since Song Zhong is so cautious, it can be seen that Zhang San's matter has broken the rules of the Jinyiwei Yamen.

This Jinyiwei position is definitely not going to last.

Even though Jin Yiwei was under Zhu Ying's control, if Zhang San was really innocent, he would be innocent.

But if this precedent is set in the future, it will be difficult to lead the subsequent teams.

"The Lu family, if I remember correctly, is a big family that the old man migrated from Jiangnan."

After Zhu Ying thought about it, she came to a rough decision.

Zhang San will definitely be punished, but let's see what the situation is for now.

Now that the north is short of manpower, Zhang San will be fine staying here in the capital, so why not send him to the north.

Liaodong slaves were there, so Zhu Ying naturally wanted to send his cronies there. Before, he couldn't think of who to send, but Zhang San sent him to the door unexpectedly.

"Zhang San, Zhang San, if you're really interested in that Lu Shuang, then I'll make it possible for you to let the Lu family go with you."
