The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 641 Beating Overseas Feudal Kings
Daming Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply, and the eunuchs below were trembling.

Even Liu He held his breath, not daring to make any noise.

The so-called companion is like a tiger. Although Liu He and Jiang Yu have been serving Zhu Yuanzhang all the time, they have never dared to go beyond anything, and they dare not say that they rely on getting along with His Majesty day and night, and feel that they have some weight in His Majesty's heart. .

Perhaps the kings of other dynasties have this possibility, but this will never appear on Zhu Yuanzhang. Anyone who has such thoughts, the grass on the grave is already more than three feet long.

Not to mention the eunuchs in the court, even those who made great contributions to the founding of the country, there are a few who can survive, aren't they all buried in the soil.

Of the original group of people who followed His Majesty, after the death of Dongou King Tang He, there was no one left.

This is because the return of the eldest grandson of the Ming Emperor made Zhu Yuanzhang lessen his violent murderous intentions. If it weren't for the current court, how many people in the court had already been beheaded.

And today Zhu Yuanzhang is in a very bad mood.

The cold wind was already howling outside, and there were charcoal fires in the canopy hall to keep warm, but Zhu Yuanzhang's expression still felt so cold.

"This group of scoundrels used to feel lawless and unscrupulous when they left this capital. Now that they feel that they have gone overseas, they don't take us seriously at all."

"After eating the stuff of bear heart and leopard courage, now even dare to intercept our things."

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and slammed the playbook on the ground.

The eunuchs and guards in the hall immediately fell to their knees on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang got up in a hurry, unable to vent his anger, he kicked over the standing cabinet next to him.

The top-quality blue and white porcelain loaded on it shattered just like that.

Splashing debris was everywhere, but it still made Zhu Yuanzhang unable to reduce his anger by half.

At this time, the door opened, and the cold wind rushed in.

Zhu Ying was the only one who dared to open the door without reporting.

Zhu Ying looked at the situation inside and ordered: "Everyone go out."

Everyone in the hall felt relieved, and hurriedly bowed their heads and left, especially Liu and Jiang Yu, who were even more grateful that the grandson came to the rescue.

After the door was closed, Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry.

Zhu Ying stepped forward and picked up the scattered memorials from the ground, and quickly browsed them.

In fact, he probably already knew what made the old man so angry.

In this report, it is about Qin Wang, Jin Wang, Yan Wang, and Qi Wang privately intercepting the mineral deposits.

According to the current laws set by the Ming Dynasty, [-]% of these mineral deposits on the Kyushu Island of the Japanese Kingdom should be paid to the national treasury as taxes for overseas vassal kings.

Money touches people's hearts, and of course the feudal lords don't care about a little money, but this amount of silver, which can easily count to 10 taels, is not a small amount.

One month of mining, the wealth contained in it may exceed the sum of a small country.

In fact, the ability to have such a large amount of mining is inseparable from Daming's strong support.

Daming provided a large amount of gunpowder to blast the mountain, and a large number of craftsmen with exploration experience transported it there.

Almost all the processing factories were established, and the expenses incurred in the early stage were supported by the Daming treasury.

Otherwise, it is just a few vassal kings who catch some Japanese people as slaves. The efficiency is extremely low, how can it be so high.

At present, the high-yield crops in the Wa Kingdom have not been popularized, and there is still a large amount of grain output and supplies from the Ming Dynasty. This is the reason why many vassal kings can steadily station in the Wa Kingdom and still make troubles.

In fact, although the current silver mining is very large, the silver transported to Daming has not even covered the previous expenditures for the time being.

After all, whether it is the garrison of the army or the support of all aspects, it is a huge expense.

Among them, although sea freight is cheap, it also has huge consumption.

The wear and tear of shipping ships, labor expenses, and official salaries add up to a considerable sum.

That is to say, the current silver in the Wa Kingdom is valuable, otherwise, stationing in the Wa Kingdom may drag Daming's finances into the quagmire.

Throughout history, many dynasties did not want to expand their territories, and most of them were for this reason.

The war has already had a great impact on the national treasury, and it also needs to support local construction. Occasionally, there will be an uprising or something. Whoever encounters it will not have a headache.

In history, there are very few emperors who didn't want to expand their territories, seal wolves and live in Xuxu.

It's just that if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. After becoming an emperor, you realize how big the country's mess is, which is completely different from when you were a prince.

It was under such support for the vassal kings of the Japanese kingdom that several vassal kings secretly united to conceal the amount of mining and embezzle a large amount of silver.

Not only that, but other mineral deposits are also privately embezzled.

Then sell it to other merchants for huge profits.

Moreover, it also avoided [-]% of the tax payment.

"Big grandson, what you said earlier is right, these uncles of yours are not suitable for staying in one place for a long time."

"When they get familiar with the territory, it will become a disaster just like it is now."

"There are so many mineral deposits, and we don't want them too much. We only need [-]% of them. We have built factories in front of us, and tens of millions of treasures have been padded in front and back."

"The hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant, we have treated them like this, and they still want to do these little tricks secretly."

"It's because I'm overseas, and my wings are hardened, so we can't control it."

Zhu Yuanzhang really laughed angrily, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

In the final analysis, they are all their own species, and the overseas distance is far away, so it is difficult to govern. The most important thing is that the Wa country can't be said to be a replacement.

After all, it was his own son, and the meat was rotten in the pot.

If it were other generals, Zhu Yuanzhang would have to be a member of the Nine Clans now.

Zhu Ying walked over the broken tiles on the ground.

The porcelain vases that can be placed in the Huagai Palace are of course the best blue and white porcelain, and this one that was kicked into pieces is a pair with the one next to it.

In today's market, at least it starts with tens of thousands of guan banknotes. If it is overseas, it is a priceless treasure, and it can even trigger a national war, so it is broken.

Of course, the value of the remaining single seedling vases at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet is even higher.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. These things are more or less accidental. Money is flowing in front of you. Who can hold back and don't stretch out a hand? No one is a saint. All emotions and desires are inevitable."

Zhu Ying gently squeezed Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders, and said comfortingly at the same time.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang now needs a step down.

"It's really outrageous for them to behave like this. This time, they have to be severely punished. Otherwise, in a few years, won't it be even worse, and they will swallow up all the mined minerals. "

"This trend can't last long. We have a huge expenditure on the Wa country in the national treasury, and we have been losing money now."

"Having mobilized 50 troops in front, and the garrison expenses of the 15 troops now, the rewards for the soldiers are quite a fortune."

"That is to say, grandson, you have filled the money bag of the national treasury in recent years, otherwise our Daming will be dragged to death."

"If it is not cured now, it will be even more incurable in the future, and our Ming Dynasty will suffer a lot in the future."

"Dasun, you have to think of a way to punish them severely."

"The most ruthless of us are corrupt officials. I didn't realize that these incompetent guys have all corrupted themselves."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with some perplexity.

Zhu Ying couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

In fact, he had already heard it. The old man was afraid that after he left, he would deal with these emperor uncles by himself, so he said that.

If it had been according to the previous temper, it would have been an order to recall the four vassal kings back to the capital to reprimand them, but now they say that Zhu Ying will punish them.

It is because Zhu Ying is afraid that after inheriting the throne, she will be suffocated with these uncles who are overseas.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually knew Zhu Ying's character very well. The eldest grandson looked amiable on weekdays, but in fact, once there was something that didn't go his way, he was never vague in his actions.

What's more, he lost his memory and never grew up in the palace since he was a child. The feeling with these uncles is no different from that of strangers.

If he really wants to be cruel, Zhu Yuanzhang actually doesn't want to.

He still wanted his sons and daughters to live in harmony and not engage in fighting between uncles and nephews.

"First of all, the entire inspection team, call some people who know arithmetic from the household department, so that we can check and see how much money these evildoers have been greedy for." Zhu Yuanzhang added with a cold snort.

But Zhu Ying said: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. Recently, the envoys of the Japanese country have been thinking of ways to protest every day, saying that the emperors and uncles have abused the people of the Japanese country. "

"According to my grandson, the Japanese kingdom is very afraid of the emperors and uncles now, and the conflicts between them are more acute. It is uncertain when they will fight again."

"Taking advantage of this time, Sun Er means to bring back [-] of the current soldiers and generals of the emperor's uncles. This is a warning. I think the uncles should know the reason. Dare to stretch too far."

"Waguo gave them an explanation, which made Ashikaga Yoshimitsu less afraid."

Zhu Ying's move can be regarded as hitting the snake at seven inches.

Soldiers and horses are the reliance of overseas vassal kings, and the first thing these soldiers and horses obey at present is of course the dispatch of the Ming court.

Besides, for now, they don't have the ability to disobey the decree.

"Okay, just do what Dasun said."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care so much about the vassal kings' greed for money, but he was just worried that this kind of behavior would cause irreconcilable conflicts between his uncles and nephews.

This is like when Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yunqi what he would do to these uncles before Zhu Ying appeared.

"There is one more thing to report to Grandpa today, it's about Timur's side."

After talking about this matter, Zhu Ying turned to talk.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the prairie alliance stimulated Timur?"

Zhu Ying sighed slightly: "That's right, not only the mobilization of troops on the grassland, but also our ocean-going fleet made Timur even more vicious."

"According to the latest information received, Timur has assembled an army of 30 to directly attack the Delhi Sultanate. I think this time he will take down the Delhi Sultanate in one fell swoop, so as to form a deterrent to the grassland and our Ming Dynasty."

"If you can't defeat the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, you will use the Delhi Sultanate to vent your anger. This is more in line with Timur's temperament of not wanting to suffer."

The Delhi Sultanate borders Tubo and is close to the Ming Dynasty. It is not the name of a certain dynasty, but a name similar to the Central Plains.

The current Sultan of Delhi is the Tughluq dynasty.

The Tughluq dynasty reached its peak during the time of Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq.

During his reign, he launched four southern expeditions and occupied almost the entire south Indian region.

However, due to excessive local power and improper administration, the Tughluq Dynasty also began to decline after Muhammad.

The current Tughluq Sultan is Nahirdin Mahmud Shah.

In fact, Sultan Shah can be regarded as somewhat capable, but the problems left over from the Tughluq dynasty are too huge. The local governors have already formed a state of separatism. Under internal and external troubles, the national strength is naturally declining.

And even in the era of Muhammad, the heyday of the Tughluq Dynasty, it was not as good as the current Timur Empire.

"The current Tughluk must have suffered a disastrous defeat." Zhu Yuanzhang asked after hearing the words.

Zhu Ying nodded: "It's really miserable. Timur wanted to demonstrate this time. He directly cleaned up the mountain people along the road and forced a large number of people to live in the mountains. The villages, towns and fortresses were used as supply stations."

"The news of this visit is that Timur's army has rushed through the Khyber Pass and is advancing in the footsteps of Alexander and Genghis Khan."

"The former city of Peshawar was destroyed by the Mongols and turned into ruins 200 years ago. Now Timur's army is marching in a hurry, trying to lay down the well-supplied Indus River Basin. Otherwise, in the deep winter, the logistics of the 30 army It's a hassle."

"Although the local governors near the Indus River have surrendered to the Tughluk dynasty, in the eyes of my grandson, it is estimated that they will surrender without any decent resistance."

"The Sultan of Delhi is no longer the dynasty that dared to resist the Mongols in history. It is estimated that this time it will probably not be able to resist. It is time for a change of dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "My eldest grandson already understands it so clearly, I must have made arrangements a long time ago, and I have made up my mind to go to Delhi Sultan to share a piece of the pie."

Zhu Ying didn't hide it either, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from grandpa. Now the Tughluq dynasty's demise is a foregone conclusion, but it's not so easy for Timur to win it quickly."

"A few years ago, for Timur, it was to occupy the Indus River area for a short rest. After this cold winter, the king who attacked the Tughluk Dynasty will definitely go to spring next year."

"During this period of time, Sun'er is going to call some elite Tubo cavalry and hire a certain number of Mongols in the name of our Great Ming, and send people from the Uzang Command to attack the Tugluke Dynasty. support."

"It's impossible for Timur to go so smoothly. This can be regarded as a confrontation between our Daming and Timur."
