The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 761 The old man’s tyranny
The Ming Dynasty train wind has begun to blow.

Under the influence of the imperial power, it almost directly entered high-speed construction.

There is no complicated process. Zhu Ying issued an order and all matters of the local government will be handled around this matter.

Anyone who dares to delay or affect the progress of the project on the planned route will be disobeying the emperor's order and disobeying the decree. At the least, they will be killed, and at worst, they will be executed.

In today's era, imperial power is so overbearing.

Not to mention that during the Hongwu period, official power was completely suppressed by the imperial power.

Zhu Ying is a hands-off boss who controls the general direction and leaves the rest to the people below. Mainly, there will be no directional errors, and some small problems will not have a big impact.

Whether it is a steam train or a steam ironclad ship, it requires a large amount of coal to maintain operation.

Therefore, the mining of coal has become the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty.

The demand for iron ore is also not small.

In today's maritime trade, the purchase prices for iron ore and coal are constantly soaring.

This is a change in the market, and Zhu Ying has nothing to do about it.

After all, the amount of iron ore in Ming Dynasty is small.

At this time, Zhu Ying turned his attention to the Japanese country.

Due to its special geographical relationship and backward mining technology, the Japanese country has large amounts of many types of mineral deposits.

Even the Kyushu Island area now controlled by the four feudal kings has already made the four feudal kings a lot of money.

But when it comes to the vassal king, Zhu Ying naturally has to discuss it with the old man.

It would be better if the old man showed up.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Grandson said, he snorted coldly and said: "The Ming Dynasty is seriously short of iron. These bastards even walked around the sea to dig out the mineral deposits, then turned around and sold them to us at a high price."

"Is this what you should do as the Ming Dynasty vassal king? You are also learning to poach the corners of your own family."

"We will send Jin Yiwei to supervise and let them know what they can and cannot do."

"If you feel that you have gone overseas and become a local emperor, and you no longer have the Ming Dynasty in your heart, then why do we want them to guard it and come against us specifically?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is very angry with you.

These are all his own sons, and they are all very obedient and well-behaved when in front of them.

Now I'm running outside and I don't even know my last name.

It was enough to arrange craftsmen for them to mine mineral deposits and evade taxes, but secretly transported the excavated mineral deposits to the sea and sold them to the court as maritime merchants to earn a large price difference. This made Zhu Yuanzhang particularly unhappy. .

In Lao Zhu's view, these traitors were stealing their own money.

What do you want to do if you are so keen on money and food?Rebellion!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Da Sun: "Last time we looked at the intelligence from the Japanese country, these traitors have accumulated a lot of private soldiers there? In total, there are 10,000+ people?"

Zhu Ying did not expect that the old man would be so angry.

It sounds like this means that he wants to reduce the power of the four overseas lords.

Then he helped and said: "It should be that the Japanese country put a lot of pressure. I heard that some time ago, the Japanese general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu seemed to have a plan to ambush the fourth uncle, but the plot was cracked by the third uncle. "

"Just relying on personal soldiers cannot suppress the Japanese country, and it is also detrimental to our Ming Dynasty's layout in the Japanese country."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "How capable a small Japanese country can be. If it weren't for finding a place for these traitors to settle down, how would they have been able to become vassal kings in their turn?"

"Now everyone feels that their wings have become stiffer, if they hadn't still thought of tricks like raising bandits to respect themselves."

"If it weren't for you, Dasun, we would have taken back all their vassal lands and kept them all in the capital."

Zhu Ying wanted to laugh a little.

The old man has already found a good step for himself.

The mouth is not generally tough.

No matter what, he is his son after all, and Lao Zhu still hopes that he can develop well no matter what.

"After grandpa's decree passed, the imperial uncles naturally understood what to do."

"I looked at the information that came back last time. It is very beneficial to our Ming Dynasty. It is said that the descendants of the Southern Song Dynasty army were found there."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised: "Oh, there is another thing. You can tell whether it is true or false."

Zhu Yingdao: "It's probably true. These Southern Song troops should be those who followed Kublai Khan. Their life in the Japanese country was not easy and they were demoted as slaves."

"The third uncle's ability to crack Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's conspiracy is related to the descendants of the Southern Song Dynasty among them."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Since he is a descendant of the Southern Song Dynasty, he is also a member of the Central Plains. He has suffered a hundred years of suffering there, so he should be treated well."

When Zhu Yuanzhang captured Wuzhou, which was later known as Jinhua, he wrote a couplet saying that the mountains and rivers were about to disappear, and the sun and the moon reopened the Song Dynasty.

This meaning is the same as that of later generations who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had some special feelings for this descendant of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhu Ying said: "Grandpa, don't worry, several imperial uncles naturally know it. They freed these descendants of the Southern Song Dynasty from slavery. Now as officials in charge of the Japanese people in various places, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This is decent. When the time comes, I will send a message to them and allow them to return to the Ming Dynasty. This can be regarded as recognizing their ancestors and returning to the clan."

Zhu Ying replied: "Follow grandpa's instructions."

No matter how arrogant the four vassal kings of Japan's Kyushu Island were, they could not resist Lao Zhu's edict.

The meaning of this edict is very clear. If you don't obey me and transport the mineral deposits to the Ming Dynasty, then you have to be careful where you sit.If he really gets cut off, there really is nothing he can do but to return to the capital honestly.

This is the majesty of Zhu Yuanzhang.

If it were Zhu Ying, it would naturally not be possible to have such an effect.

Maybe they will unite with the Japanese country to resist the Ming Dynasty.

Overseas vassal kings have advantages and disadvantages.

This is similar to the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period. If the Ming Dynasty cannot maintain its suppression, the possibility of backlash is very high.

These are all later stories.

After solving the Japanese problem, Zhu Ying still needs to obtain resources from more places.

As for mineral deposits, there are also many island countries in Southeast Asia.

at the same time.

The coast of Bo Ni Kingdom.

An old man stood on the beach, looking at the sea in the distance, with longing in his eyes.

His name is Huang Yuanshou, also known as Huang Senping.

The local indigenous people called him Raja, which means king.

The Ming soldiers who followed him called him the chief soldier.

In the eighth year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, he was first appointed as the garrison of Heqing.

Due to the important geographical location of Tengchong, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Huang Senping to garrison heavily and built a stone city, which was called "the first city on the extreme edge".

Because Huang Senping was brave and good at fighting and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, he was later promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Tengchong Guards in Yongchang, Yunnan.

Later, due to the war, Huang Senping led his entire family and thousands of neighbors to escape the chaos in southwest Myanmar and sailed south to Borneo.

They landed at the mouth of a large river in East Kalimantan. When they were exhausted, they got into a boat accident and some broke their arms.

The Fan people who later moved here called this river the China Batangan River, commonly known as the Broken Hand River.

At that time, the area north of the Broken Hand River was the weakened Bo Ni Kingdom. The south was controlled by Indonesia and was often required to pay tribute to it, and the east was often invaded by the Sulu Sultanate in the south.

The newly enthroned Sultan Mahmosha of the Bo Ni Kingdom asked Huang Senping for help.

Mahmosa married his daughter to Huang Senping and gave Huang Senping the title of Manaragana, which basically means he is a king with the same status as me.

Mahmosha also asked his brother Ahmed to marry Huang Senping's sister Huang Yuanli and gave her the title of princess from the Central Plains.

With the help of Huang Senping, the Sulu invasion was contained and the Balni Kingdom avoided its fate.

Although he has gained great power in Nanyang and his status is equal to that of a king, his thoughts have always been towards the Ming Dynasty.

With the development of sea trade, many merchants from the Ming Dynasty have appeared in Boni Kingdom, which made Huang Senping's longing for his hometown even more intense.

Historically, Huang Senping returned to the Ming Dynasty in the sixth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. However, because of his old age, he could not bear the hardships, and finally died of illness on the road, which can be regarded as a return to his roots.

"Brother, are you homesick again?"

Not long after, a woman came over. It was Huang Senping's sister Huang Yuanli.

Huang Senping turned his head to look, and happened to notice the large white hair on his sister's head, and sighed: "Twenty years have passed in a flash, and I have spent most of my life here in Boni Country."

"My ancestors in the family haven't gone to worship for a long time. I don't know what the situation is now and whether everything is okay for the clan members."

"When you came here, you were still in your twenties, but now you are almost at the age when you know your destiny."

"Are we just going to stay here and bury our bones in a foreign land for the rest of our lives?"

They are from Quanzhou, Fujian, and 22 years have passed since the tenth year of Hongwu.

Huang Yuanli was a little silent when she heard this.

He is different from his brother. For her, her children and husband are here, and this is her home.

Besides, she is more than ten years younger than her brother, and she had already left Quanzhou when she was still sensible.

"If my brother wants to go back, maybe he should send an envoy first. I don't know if the court blames me for leaving because I took refuge in the first place."

"If the court punishes me, wouldn't my brother become a sinner?"

"Asking to see His Majesty as a Bo Ni country may help you avoid this crime."

Huang Yuanli said.

When they took refuge in the first place, they were actually guilty according to the laws of the imperial court.

Huang Senping heard this and said: "I am already a remnant. Even if the court punishes me, what will happen? I just hope that I can return to my ancestral land and worship my ancestors."

"If I don't come back, wouldn't I become a sinner of the Huang family?"

"Even if you die like this, you won't be able to rest in peace."

Huang Yuanli knew the pain in her brother's heart and said, "According to my sister's method, my brother should send an envoy first."

"Sultan's physical condition has gradually deteriorated in the past two years, and Bo Ni Kingdom cannot live without his brother."

Huang Senping knew that the current situation in Balni Country was complicated, so he sighed and said, "That's all we can do."
