Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 222 Serve the Country with Loyalty

Chapter 222 Serve the Country with Loyalty
The prince of the Pearl River County revived, and before the new year, the emperor ordered the expedition to the northern border and the western regions, and all the important events came one after another, and the courtiers were still very busy.

The eighteen northerners had already been divided before the announcement of the political division. The northern Xinjiang was turbulent for a while, and many of them were willing to submit to Daming. After all, they themselves received the title of Daming. Daming treats people in these places very favorably. , reducing or exempting grain tax and distributing materials, but at the same time, Daming requires that it must accept the management of Daming.

Eight declared that the Chief Secretary was willing to submit, and a few waited and watched.

At the same time, these places where Zhu Di asked to submit must also send troops. Since you are a part of Daming, you have to help Daming with your salary, and when he submits to Daming, they and those tribes who do not submit will not die. The situation is endless, and those tribes will not let them go. They are traitors.

Of course, Zhu Di would not completely trust these places where he would surrender now. The three-pronged approach of giving favor and power, enticing, holding and guarding against is the right choice.

Now the biggest enemies on the steppe are the Tartars and the Oiras, and they are also the two strongest forces on the steppe.

At the same time, Zhu Di's plan for the westward expedition was beyond everyone's expectations. In addition to the northern line, the Chagatai Khanate was to be conquered westward. The reason was to help the Timurid Empire, because the Timurid Empire was a tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Zara is the princess of the Timurid Empire, and now the Chagatai Khanate is fighting the Timurid Empire.

It is reasonable, reasonable, and compliant to send the Prince of Zhujiang County to conquer. In addition to supporting his own tributary abroad at the court level, Zhu Zhanchang can also be regarded as helping his father-in-law Lao Taishan, and his son-in-law helping his father-in-law.

Zhu Di took these things into consideration. If he hadn't known that the Chagatai Kingdom was fighting with the Timurid Empire, he wouldn't have given him such a good reason to go on an expedition.

In today's early morning, Zhu Zhanchang stood on the court again. Chen Yun didn't mention the previous thing again. He really didn't mention a word, why?Because the purpose of the people behind him has already been achieved, why do you still mention him?
Zhu Di ordered the things that were set before. Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong followed him to Mobei, and most of the troops of the entire Ming Dynasty moved northward. This is to prepare the army to press the border. As for Zhu Gaojiu, Zhu Zhanchang and Zhu Zhanyu It is in charge of the western expedition of the Chagatai Khanate. Zhu Gaojiu took office as the grand marshal of the western expedition. He is nominally a half-level Gao Zhu Zhan, but he is mainly responsible for the war. Zhu Zhan is equivalent to supervising the country in the northwest direction, and is responsible for logistics. There are whole things.

After the announcement was made, the Crown Prince did not object this time, and other objections were basically invalid. Before, Zhu Di approached Zhu Gaochi for a long talk. The father and son talked all night, and no one knew what they were talking about. Anyway, Zhu Gaochi later supported Zhu Di’s proposal. conquest.

Zhu Di stood up from the dragon chair. There are more than 60 people, and his figure is still tall and straight. He laughed and said: "This battle will be fought from the north to the west. If it is won in the first battle, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will surpass that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Strong man, since the beginning of the world, our dynasty is the most extensive, I want the world to return to my heart, you are all famous ministers in the prosperous age, and you will live forever." Zhu Di was full of aura.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"Tonight I have a feast for the ministers in the palace, praying for the New Year, and having fun with the ministers."

After leaving early in the morning, Zhu Zhanchang wanted to return to his yard, but he had three daughters-in-law and was very busy.

But as soon as he came out, he was pulled aside by Zhu Gaojiao.

"Zhanchang, this time the old man is going to attack the Chagatai Khanate. There is nothing to fight in this place where birds don't shit."

"Second uncle, this Western Region has been an inseparable part of us since ancient times, and the beauty of the Western Regions, second uncle, you should have not married a wife for a long time."

"There is some truth to what you say. The next step is to cooperate with us. What do you think about how to fight?"

"Second uncle is not us, but my second brother."

Zhu Gaojiu said disdainfully: "Zhanzhen, this boy is very happy, he is not very talented and has a great temper. It is said that he has done a lot of things in the fief, and I can't count on him. Just don't hold back."

"I have no experience in fighting, and I have to look at the second uncle. Everything is based on the second uncle's lead."

"Don't call me haha, you have made a lot of new things in Guangzhou, before that Akka Siqi, and recently I heard that you made something that can fly, don't hide it for me, give it all to me Take it out, the old man is going to fight, and the military expenses are out of the court, you can take it out with confidence and boldness."

Zhu Zhanchang smiled: "Second uncle, don't worry, I came back lightly this time, I didn't bring anything, and I just came out of the ancestral mansion, I have already ordered someone to go to Guangzhou mansion as soon as possible, and there are many good things. Yes, the northwest direction is no better than the coast, the waterway is inaccessible, the land route is inconvenient, the transportation efficiency is low, and some things are unusable.”

Zhu Gaojiu patted Zhu Zhanchang on the shoulder: "That's good, you kid is going to die with so many tricks. Is fighting the Chagatai Khanate the same as fighting the desert? Divide and attack them."

"Second uncle, the Chagatai Khanate is vast and sparsely populated, and there are only a few main cities. It's so troublesome to use. It's better to use the siege warfare that the second uncle is good at. The advantage is me."

"Yes."

"It is estimated that there will be literati poems and essays to help the expedition in the evening. Prepare yourself. If the song of your life was just like the first time you saw it, it would still be circulating at this time."

I don't know where the second uncle's news came from, but the meaning is obvious. It's time to spend some money, don't be ashamed.

Zhu Zhanchang can still take a nap when he goes back at this time. Concubine Zheng went to greet the empress of the crown prince, so let's take a nap with my concubine of the Western Regions. A nap can effectively help people concentrate.

At night, it gets dark early in winter, which is one of the reasons why July, August and September are the peak periods for children to be born.

At this time, the palace was preparing to entertain the ministers. I have to say that it was really cold at night, and the ministers did not dare to lose their demeanor and were waiting.

Zhu Di was so happy that he had someone read the book, "Destiny's Mandate to the North", which was written by the champion of the dynasty. Although it was well written, it was still different from what Li Shimian wrote back then. He was too young, and the writing was not strong enough.

When it was in a good mood, an official from the Ministry of Officials came out: "Your Majesty has heard that the prince of Zhujiang County is the only one in the world, but he is busy with official business and rarely writes poetry and prose. If only a piece of life is just as first seen, it will be circulated in the streets and alleys, whether male or female. All praise, Your Highness's good poetry should not be wasted, why don't you invite His Highness to write another poem today to strengthen the military's prestige."

"it is good."

"it is good!"

It seems that the literati and officials have some opinions on Zhu Zhanchang's recovery so quickly and that he has not received any substantial punishment, but they dare not say anything, so they have tried their best to make Zhu Zhanchang shriveled. This group of people estimates that He has already written poems himself, waiting for Zhu Zhanchang to take it out after he makes a fool of himself.

Although Zhu Zhanchang has the poem if his life is just like the first time, many people still think that he bought the poem.

If an author is short and few, it is simply a shame for the literati.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanchang. In fact, he also thought that Zhu Zhanchang’s previous poems were bought. In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhu Di smoothed the field and said: “Zhanchang has just come out of the ancestral mansion, and he has been busy with other things recently, so he is afraid of making poems temporarily. It's Weizhe Yang Rong, you can't do it, right?"

The two senior cabinet members waved their hands to indicate that they could not.

"Grandpa Huang, let me think about it, or let this minister write a song first and give his grandson a quarter of an hour."

Still have to pretend to think about it.

"That minister will throw bricks to attract jade to show ugliness."

"70 years of fighting in the Northern Kingdom, Erlang must go to the desert."

"Death to the family and the country to repay the kindness of the king, and the soul to report the victory to the front of the temple."

The literati praised and boasted for a while.

This brick throw is a real brick throw, and there are other literati on the side who are eager to try it, but they all want to wait until Zhu Zhanchang finishes writing, which can overwhelm him.

"I have no poetic talent, so I'm not as talented as you, so I'm just throwing bricks to attract jade, let your majesty, let you laugh."

Zhu Di laughed, the poem was ordinary, and the spirit was still in place.

When he finished reading the poem, Zhu Zhanchang stood up. He had already written it, and it was less than a quarter of an hour.

"Grandpa, I have written it."

"Oh? Then you should think about it too."

"Grandpa Huang, because the time is relatively short, he did not pay special attention to the flatness of the text. He did not write poems, but articles."

Zhu Di nodded and motioned for Zhu Zhanchang to read it out. Zhu Zhanchang looked around and found Li Shimian.

His voice is loud, let him read.

Li Shimian took the article in surprise, his eyes widened as soon as he looked at it, he stood up and opened his voice loudly, with a strong and powerful voice.

"The smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon flag rolls up the horse, the sword is like frost, and the heart is like the Yellow River, who can resist in 20 years."

Accompanied by Li Shimian's majestic voice, Zhu Di couldn't help but tremble when he heard it. It has been almost 20 years since he ascended the throne. The smoke rises, the country looks north, and the dragon flag curls up and the horse neighs. The scene depicted is exactly his Northern Expedition It looks like a desert.

The emperor couldn't sit still for a while.

"Crazy with hatred, where the sword is directed, how many loyal souls of brothers and sisters are buried in other villages, why cherish a hundred deaths to repay the country, I can't bear to sigh, and my eyes are full of blood and tears."

"The horseshoe goes south, people look north, people look north, the grass is green and yellow, the dust is flying, I would like to defend the land and restore the border!"

Who wrote this? Isn't this what Zhu Di's long-cherished wish for many years?To defend the land and restore the border, isn't that what he is doing now?
After reading this, Li Shimian paused, and his voice became more high-pitched.

"The dignified and dignified want to let the Quartet, come... congratulations!!"

The emperor only felt that a magnificent picture unfolded. As an emperor and a general, he led hundreds of thousands of Minger Lang to conquer the North and South to fight the world, making the four barbarians obey and the world to return to their hearts, and he sits high on the throne. Come on, let the Quartet come to congratulate you.

Zhu Di stood up: "Okay, a dignified and dignified person will be congratulated by the Quartet. If you write well and read well, you will be rewarded."

"Listen to me, I want to let everyone from all over come to congratulate me!" Zhu Di laughed vigorously.

"Long live my emperor!"

Although it's not Shi Ping Che rhymes, or even vernacular, but the mood has arrived, I'm sorry Tu Honggang.

"Zhanchang, what is this article called?"

"Grandpa Huihuang, whose name is Jingzhong Baoguo."

Should I copy or I have to copy, can a scholar’s ​​work be considered a copy?

Zhu Gaojiu almost choked out the wine, where did this kid buy it in such a short time.

As soon as Zhu Zhanchang's article came out, the civil servants in the whole court were all stupid, swallowed and put the poem and article back under their buttocks. What thorns can this be picked? The naysayer, are you picky in eggs?
Zhu Di became excited, and looked at Zhu Zhanji's good brother Zhu Zhanji: "Zhanji, what gift do you want to show me tonight?"

Zhu Zhanji stood up and walked to a big guy in a black cloth. This thing was dazzling at the banquet in the palace.

"Grandpa Huang, I call this the Steam Invincible Artillery Chariot Destruction King."
