Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 113 As Big Brother, I Must Have Foreign Princesses

Li Xianzhong, the commander of the Jianzhou Right Guard, walked quickly to the palace and saluted.

This is a thin middle-aged man, not as strong as others, but like a scholar. He is almost 50 years old now, and it can be seen that he was a handsome man when he was young.

"Li Xianzhong, the commander of the Jianzhou Right Guard, has seen His Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han, His Highness Taisun, and His Third Highness."

In the tenth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty separated Meng Ge Timur's department from the Jianzhou Guard, and set up Jianzhou Left Guard, with Meng Ge Timur as the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, and later served as the Jianzhou Guard Commander. Make.

And the current commander of Jianzhou Right Guard is Li Xianzhong who just arrived.

Li Xianzhong, formerly known as Shi Jianu, once led his subordinate Zhu Di to conquer the Mongolian Tartars in person, and made military exploits. Zhu Di gave the name Li Xianzhong.

"Meng Temu, you are also here." Li Xianzhong also said hello to Meng Ge Timur, Meng Temu is Meng Ge Timur's original name, Aixinjueluo Meng Temu.

The two are in-laws, but they are also competitive. Of course, Li Xianzhong is not only in-laws with Meng Ge Timur, but also in-laws with Zhu Di. His sister is also Zhu Di's concubine and is now in the harem.

Brother Meng is now higher than Li Xianzhong in terms of official rank, but he can't control Li Xianzhong, and the two hold power respectively.

It is still the principle of hoeing the strong and helping the weak. Li Xianzhong has an in-law relationship with the emperor, and his ability is excellent. In order to prevent him from growing up, he supports the younger and more capable brother Timur.

Now Meng Ge Timur has a higher official position, and there are Jurchen spies in the imperial city. Zhu Di didn't go into it, but in his heart he still thinks Meng Ge Timur has a different opinion. Knock it out.

Seeing the appearance of Li Xianzhong, Meng Ge Timur felt that things were not good.

After the two greeted each other, Zhu Di said with a rare smile: "Li Xianzhong, how are you doing? The injury on the leg a few years ago still hurts." The tone of voice was more like two old friends.

Li Xianzhong said respectfully: "Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, although the leg injury has left a dark illness, the situation has improved in the past two years, and it is not a serious problem."

"That's good, before this expedition, Zhen Fei specially asked me to see you. Your sister and brother have not seen each other for many years. She has been thinking about you a lot recently. Ying Tianfu will meet her."

Li Xianzhong's eyes turned red in an instant. I don't know if it was his true feelings or his acting skills, but the person who watched it was really real: "I'm worried about the real concubine, and the minister is in good health now. Next year, I plan to let the minister's son come to Beijing to pay tribute."

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction: "How old is Manju this year?"

"It's 26 years old."

Li Manzhu is the eldest son of Li Xianzhong. He was less than 20 years old when Zhu Diyu drove himself to conquer the Mongolian Tatars. He was by his father's side, but he was also a young man who was good at fighting. The boy is tall and burly, with a big knife dancing vigorously.

When they talked about Li Manzhu, it was called Uncle Zhu Di, and the mood between the two of them became more cheerful when they talked about their children and nephews, but the fierce brother Timur was not so comfortable standing next to him.

It is revealed all the time that these two are family members.

"We will send someone to inform us in advance before entering Beijing next year. I will let Zhanji go out to welcome him. If the army will return to the DPRK, I will let Zhanji's younger brother welcome him."

Li Xianzhong hurriedly declined: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not dare, how dare the dog let the grandson come out to greet him."

"I also heard that you have a young daughter, who is extremely talented. When the time comes, come to Beijing with Manchu, and go to the palace to be a companion for Zhenfei and ease her homesickness."

Hearing that both Li Xianzhong and Meng Ge Timur were stunned. After a brief stupor, Li Xianzhong immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your grace."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Xi in disbelief. Zhu Xi asked the daughter of a Jurchen tribe leader to return to Beijing, similar to a princess in a small place. Isn't this Zhu Zhanchang's favorite?Could it be that the princess of North Korea and the princess of the Western Regions are not enough, this is another Jurchen princess.

According to the character of the fifth brother, it is natural to refuse to come.

Zhu Zhanchang, who was kebabs in the palace, sneezed: "Who is scolding me?"

Li Xianzhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the little girl escapes and loves to ride horses. When I go back, I will just straighten her rules, so as not to go to the palace and collide with Your Majesty and His Royal Highnesses."

"Zhanji."

"Grandson is here."

"Li Xianzhong, this is my eldest grandson, Zhu Zhanji, you have also met him, and he is about the same age as your daughter. Originally this year, he chose his grandson concubine for him, but because of the delay in the Northern Expedition, he will go back to marry after the war next year. , I mean to let your daughter go with you when the time comes."

"Grandsun Yingwu, little daughter He De He Neng." Li Xianzhong saluted respectfully.

For Li Xianzhong, this is a pie in the sky. He became the concubine of his grandson. Although he knew that he was definitely not a concubine, at least his in-laws with the Emperor Daming's family continued. Their family's status in Jianzhou was as long as Zhu Zhanji. The emperor will always be stable.

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this time to prepare it for himself.

Han Wang looked resentful, why didn't he prepare one for himself.

This Li Xianzhong's daughter is married to Zhu Zhanji. What about the generation of your grandfather and grandchildren? You call him grandson, and he calls you uncle?
But after all, there is no problem in giving Zhu Zhanji a teenage girl who is like a flower and jade.

The innocent young Zhu Zhanji has been thinking about it since he was educated by his father's father's love. It is not a good thing to be devoted to one person since ancient times. Since he comes, he will accept it.

Since Zhanchang has an alien princess, as the eldest brother, I have to have it too.

Zhu Zhanyong next to him didn't care, anyway, he only cared about big things.

After talking about all these things, Zhu Di's face became a little more serious: "Next year, I want to expedition Mahamu to the north. After the two of you go back, you will reorganize your troops. Next year, you will go out with me, each with two thousand cavalry. Is there any problem?"

"I do my best to follow Your Majesty."

After the two showed their loyalty, they withdrew.

After leaving the palace to say goodbye to each other, Meng Ge Timur said, "Shikanu..."

"Just call me Li Xianzhong."

Brother Meng Timur said with a complicated expression: "Congratulations to Brother Li."

"Happy together."

After the two left, Zhu Gaojiu said, "Your Majesty, Brother Meng Timur may have his back."

"It's useless to be rebellious. He doesn't have the ability to rebel. He is surrounded by powerful enemies, and the interior is not unified. If he dares to rebel, he can take it down in one fell swoop." Zhu Di is not too worried about Jianzhou Jurchen at the moment. Strength, even if a 90-year-old man walks into an alley, he has the will but is powerless.

"Zhanji helped me to prepare a newspaper for the first residence, and sent a response to Tianfu, and asked Zhanchang to arrange a few more shipments of cotton and food to Shuntianfu, and then send people to Jianzhou market."

"Yes, Grandpa Huang." Even if you give a slap, you have to give sugar.

Zhu Di thought for a while: "I will also send the newspapers. Every time a newspaper is distributed in the future, Shuntian Prefecture will send the newspapers to Jianzhou and Wuliangha Market."

"Your Majesty, not many people in Jianzhou know writing."

"Education and establishment of the state must be based on the Chinese language."

Zhu Di learned about the power of cultural incitement through the newspaper incident, and also understood that Jurchen, Wuliang and Sanwei, if they want to be included in Daming, they must identify with Daming culturally, not just force deterrence.

Let them read our novels, read our poems, understand our culture, let their children learn the Chinese characters, and identify themselves as a great Ming person from the bottom of their hearts.

"Gao Xu, I remember that during the Hongwu period before, there were Koreans who came to my Daming Imperial Examination and passed the examination, but there is such a thing."

"I don't understand it, but I have heard people say it. It seems to be Jin Fang or Jin Tao, and he has won the jinshi, but he can only take exams, and he can write poetry and poetry, but he still speaks in Korean, and speaks Chinese language very carefully. At that time, he was rewarded. He was appointed as an official, but because of the language barrier, he was ordered to return to Korea to become an official, and when he left, it was said that he cried a lot."

Zhu Di thought for a while: "Next year's scientific examination will be announced. North Korea, Jianzhou, Wuliangha, Jiaozhi, Western Regions, all countries, even Oara and Tatar, as long as there are students who are willing to take the test, they will be recruited together."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Da Ming wants to congratulate you from all over the world, and all countries come to the DPRK. There are only a few students. If you want to study, you should encourage them. If you encounter students who come to study from abroad, the prefectures should open the door of convenience."

Zhu Gaojiu still held different opinions. He did not like the literati in the court. If there were a few more foreign literati, it would not be more troublesome.

But Zhu Di had to do this if he wanted to spread the culture of the Ming Dynasty both at home and abroad.

"Send back my thoughts and documents to Gao Chi, and ask him to ask Zhanyi to take a look. There are many ghost ideas, let's see if there is any better way."

Zhu Zhanji instructed the eunuch to draw up the documents, and he asked, "Grandpa Huang, why do you want to win Li Xianzhong instead of Brother Meng Timur?"

"Do you know the difference between the two?"

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while: "Li Xianzhong is more loyal."

"Loyal? There is no loyalty, but Li Xianzhong is more timid and less capable. At the beginning of Jianzhou, there was no division between left and right guards, but later he couldn't hold down Meng Ge Timur, I separated him, and Meng Ge Timur was still the same. Pressed Li Xianzhong on the head."

"But Grandpa Huang, let's send so much cotton and other things over, is it really okay?"

"How can it be sent? It's better to send it to the market for trading, and return it to the country in exchange for gold and silver, or in the future, our treasure money and food stamps can be used in the market in Jianzhou and other places."

Zhu Zhanchang understands Zhu Di's scheming, he is planning to import foreign gold, silver and other hard currencies into the country through cargo transactions, because they are not good at planting and weaving, and the prices of many things here are more prosperous than those in the south of the Yangtze River. The ground is higher.

Now the emergence of steam ships can reduce transportation costs. It is believed that products from all walks of life can come to these border markets for trading, and use these commodities to stimulate the domestic economy on a large scale.

"Of course there is another reason for choosing Li Xianzhong's family."

"what reason?"

"You have also seen the real concubine in the palace. The Li Xianzhong family is a rare and good-looking family from the Jurchen family. Their daughters are all good-looking."

The grandfather's beloved grandson has far-reaching plans for it.
