The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 254 struck by lightning

Li Yu still didn't say what he said to fool Zhu Di.

Firstly, Zhu Di had something to say first; secondly, because he was too ashamed.

Let it be!

In April, the emperor issued a decree to officially move the capital to Shuntianfu, change Yingtianfu to Nanjing, and change Beiping Shuntianfu to the capital. However, there are still six central institutions in Nanjing, called a certain department in Nanjing, with Nanjing as the capital.

The civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty also began to move in a mighty way. Although the prince was very reluctant to live in the north, he finally boarded the ship with his family.

The Beijing Imperial Palace was built in imitation of the Nanjing Imperial Palace. Except for a slightly smaller area, the rest of the architectural pattern is the same as that of the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Zhu Gaochi cursed and moved into the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace, which was also the Palace of Spring Harmony. However, Li Yu's house, the Qing Palace, was gone.

The Qing Palace was rebuilt on the basis of King Yan's Courtyard in Nanjing. There was indeed a Palace of King Yan in Beijing, and it is still there.

Yanwang Mansion was the palace of Zhu Di when he was King Yan. In order to save money, it occupied the Longfu Palace of Qianyuan, that is, the Prince's Mansion of Qianyuan. Now it has been changed into the West Palace and became part of the palace.

Li Yu could only bring his wife and concubine back to the Prince's Mansion.

In May, the Ming army vowed to march north.

Emperor Yongle personally commanded [-] battalions of cavalry, [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and [-] corvee soldiers. They went deep into the grassland along the cement road.

With the guarantee of a flat concrete road, there will naturally be fewer people who transport grain and grass, and it will save consumption.

Alutai did not dare to be lighthearted. He had fought against the Ming army many times over the years, and he already knew the strength of the Ming army.

The firearms of the Shenji Battalion are beyond human power!

Not to mention the [-] Shenji Battalion, but [-], as long as the logistics can be guaranteed, it is enough to deal a fatal blow to the Tatars who are now surviving.

On the one hand, Alutai contacted Wuliangha to jointly defend against the enemy, and on the other hand, he was actually ready to lead the herdsmen in the tribe to migrate again.

This time it's a complete migration!
It is no longer a temporary escape to Mobei, and then return to Monan after recuperating.Instead, he led the Tatar tribe westward, left the grassland, and migrated to the west of the Western Regions, the fertile land of Europa that their ancestors once conquered.

Although there is the Timurid Empire in it, Alutai is not afraid.

And Tulu Huchar, the leader of the three guards of Wuliangha, was not blind either.

While Arutai intends to join forces to fight against the Ming Dynasty, it privately began to transfer the herdsmen ahead of time. Tuluhuchar naturally understands this careful thinking.

Although Tulu Huchar is the co-owner of Wuliangha, the three guards of Wuliangha are not in his own hands. What he can command is only the Duoyan tribe under his command, Taining and Fuyu. The Ministry has always listened to the tune but not to the announcement.

Tuluhuchar is old, he was born in Yuan Dynasty to Zhengzheng years ago, he is nearly [-] years old this year, he was ambitious when he was young, he led his people to seek refuge in Ming Dynasty, and then decisively accepted the current Emperor Yongle's offer during the Jingnan Battle hire.

It's a pity that the mercenary met a liar, and Duoyan Sanwei helped the King of Yan fight, and indeed got a lot of gold and silver treasures, and also opened up the mutual market, but Daning, who was originally promised, has been delayed.

Later, Daning began to build roads and became an outpost for the Ming army to unify the grasslands. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not deserve the promise at all.

Tuluhuchar was also very helpless. Daming relied on his national strength to become an old man, what could he do?Daming's tentacles slowly took root in the grassland along with the cement road, crowding out the living space of the three guards in Wuliangha, and the three guards were suppressed little by little...

Be it Tulu Huchar, Azashri, or Haisan Daxi, they no longer have the ambitions of their youth.

The Ming army is powerful, and the tribe has no way out, so let's have fun over there!
However, he, Alutai, wanted to play tricks, and wanted Wuliangha Sanwei to use him as cannon fodder for Tatars to cover the migration of his Tatar tribes, but it was impossible!

On the one hand, Tulu Huchar promised the envoys of Arutai that the two sides would unite against the Ming Dynasty, and promised that the three guards of Wuliangha would come out in full force and send [-] troops. All the way to Emperor Yongle's camp.

At the beginning of July, because of the protection of the herdsmen's migration, Alutai's troops and the [-] Wuliangha army who came to support them were blocked by [-] cavalry battalions in a valley in Mount Kent, and then the Shenji Battalion rushed to the battlefield.

At the beginning of the battle, Tulu Huchar suddenly turned against him, quickly defeated the rear army of Arutai, and intercepted the Tatar herdsmen; the Ming army seized the opportunity and launched an attack. All the outstanding men were wiped out on the battlefield here: half of them were overturned by projectiles, and most of them got off their horses and knelt down to surrender to the Ming army under the leadership of Alutai, who saw that the situation was over.

Zhu Di comforted Alutai well, and still ordered him to be King Hening, and arranged for him to live in Beijing.

As for Adai Khan, the puppet supported by Alutai, Daming never recognized his status. After Alutai surrendered, he was very sensible. In order not to damage the glory of his ancestors, Adai Khan "killed himself with a knife".

After this battle, the situation on the grassland suddenly became clear.

Wala was destroyed and Mahamu was captured alive. Taliba Khan and Mahamu’s young grandson Boyan led the remnant forces of Wala to move westward a few years ago, and may become the whip of God in the future; Tatar perished after this war, Arutai surrendered, and Adai Khan died on the battlefield.

In the south and north of the desert, there is no longer any major resistance force, only those small tribes that are scattered in the sand are left, and they will gradually assimilate in the future.

However, the three tribes of Mongolia and the three guards of Wuliangha are still entrenched in the northeast of Daning.

At the end of July, when the Ming army was still on its way to the court, it deliberately detoured around the territory of the Three Guards of Wuliangha. Tolu Huchar warmly entertained them, and the Ming army held a grand military parade here.

After the military parade, Tolu Huchar, Azashili, and Haisan Daxi reached a consensus, and jointly submitted a request to enclose the form. After repeated refusals by Emperor Yongle, he "had no choice but to reluctantly" agreed. Azashili, Haisanan Daxi and the noble heads of the three guards were all rewarded with a large amount of gold and silver. After being granted hereditary official positions, they moved to the Great Wall, a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.

The herdsmen of Wuliangha Sanwei, according to the policy of Ming Dynasty, dispersed, incorporated, divided pastures, and distributed cattle and sheep...

From the Beidi Xirong in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the Xiongnu, Donghu, Xianbei, Turks... and even the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia, the northern border troubles that have plagued the Central Plains for 3000 years, on the basis of Taizu’s repeated northern expeditions to weaken the Northern Yuan, were eliminated. Emperor Yongle finally conquered it completely by virtue of his tyrannical force. The territory of the Ming Dynasty reached the North Sea, and it was connected with Nuer Gandusi.

Further north...too cold to go!

And at the end of June, when Zhu Di led the Ming army to flee the grasslands of Alutai, which was chased like a rabbit, in the east of the country of sunrise, Honshu Island, the country of Japan, also ushered in a crisis that began to change the national destiny of the country of Japan. war.

The emperor of Japan at this time is Emperor Shōko, but there is Emperor Gokomatsu, the fourth general of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshijima, who controls the government, and outside the North and South. After escaping from Kyoto and establishing the Southern Dynasty again in the Yoshino Mountains, Emperor Go Kameyama, the domestic situation of the Wa Kingdom at this time can be called turbulent.

At this time, Daming and his two younger brothers from North Korea and Ryukyu also came here to join in the fun.

Riding on the monsoon, the army bypassed the main island of the Wa Kingdom and landed at Izumo. Within a day, they completely defeated the daimyo of this place. Three days later, they occupied Iwami Ginzan, and the guardian daimyo of this place fled.

The Ming army guarded the Yinshan Mountain, while the Korean army came out in full force, sweeping up the surrounding areas, and directed their troops at Kyoto.

North Korea is the deadly enemy of the Japanese nation. It is impossible to expect the North Korean army to abide by the law on the enemy's apprentices. Looting and arson are nothing but pediatrics.

The Muromachi shogunate was shocked three times a day. Under the call of Emperor Komatsu, the troops under the command of the surrounding big names, plus the shogunate army, jointly formed a rebel army to conquer the invaders.

Zhang Fu and Zheng He stood on the top of the mountain, watching the ongoing war below the mountain with a relaxed expression, or it could also be called a massacre.

It is enough to bully people with the Shenji battalion using muskets against the army using cold weapons, not to mention that the Japanese army at this time called it using cold weapons, which is a bit exaggerated.

Those daimyo, samurai, etc. are indeed using iron weapons, but what are the more "Ashigaru" holding?
Bows and arrows, arrowheads are all made of bamboo, bamboo spears, hoes...

There was no formation at all in the fight, Wu Yang Yang charged upwards, and then Wu Yang Yang fled under the impact of musket bullets.

How is it different from a farmer?

Zhang Fu smiled, took out a wax-sealed letter from his bosom, tore it open, and took out an order from the grandson before he left to examine it.

His Royal Highness Taisun said that the order can only be checked after a firm foothold, and this order is only known to him and Zheng He.

Zhang Fu has always been cautious, but now he also feels that after this battle, he can be regarded as a firm foothold no matter what?
Zhang Fu unfolded the letter paper, and there were at least two sentences written on the letter paper, which made Zhang Fu smile bitterly.

"His Royal Highness is really, really... oh!"

Zhang Fu smiled wryly and handed the secret order to Zheng He: "You can see for yourself."

Zheng He passed the letter paper in doubt, and looked at it intently, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

But he saw two sentences written on it, but it was murderous.

"All the captured Japanese citizens, men under fifty, were all castrated and demoted to slavery, and all the beautiful women under twenty were shipped to Daming, and the rest were slaves until they were 50 years old; please don't review it, this decree will be read immediately burn."

Zheng He also shook his head with a wry smile. As for what will happen to those over 50 years old, His Royal Highness did not say, but he has already guessed.

Ming army, don't support idlers!Your Majesty the Grandson, how ruthless!

"Why did this Japanese country provoke His Highness? This is a desperate plan to subjugate the country and exterminate the species! Alas!" Fuchang Zhang sighed, and said leisurely: "If I do this desperate plan, it will hurt the peace of heaven, and I am afraid it will harm the descendants. !"

Let's talk, Zhang Fu didn't say anything, just looked at Zheng He with eyes full of deep meaning.

Zheng He immediately understood and understood it!I couldn't help cursing in my heart: Your mother!
And hurt Tianhe?The bad things you did in Jiaozhi have already hurt Tianhe eight hundred times!Are you afraid of harming your descendants?Still pushing it to our family?Let our family do this dirty thing?Our family is not afraid of harm... Yes, our family is not afraid, our family has lost all children and grandchildren!

Thinking of this, Zheng He became even more angry.

Although this is true, but if you say it like this, what is the difference between you pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey! ?

Just as Zheng He was about to have a fit, he suddenly remembered a word that His Royal Highness Taisun had said to him in private before leaving.

"In the former Song Dynasty, there was Tong Guan who used the eunuch as the king. This is a disorderly government. My Ming Dynasty cannot follow suit, but it is not impossible to confer the title of Marquis and Boss, and the adoptive descendant will inherit the succession."

Zheng He was shocked, and combined with today's grandson's secret order, he immediately understood.

He has traveled to the West many times, and he is frugal with the public. He has none of the bad habits associated with eunuchs. Isn't it just to leave a name in history!

The grandson's words have already explained, if this matter is done well, even if he is named uncle, he will be adopted as an heir in the future, and he will retire with the country!
As for what would harm his descendants, Zheng He never believed in it.

When our family went to the West, how many small countries that refused to accept the kingship were wiped out?
Thinking of this, Zheng He waved to the two boys behind him.

"Go, pass on our family's order to eunuch the fleet..."

In August of the 19th year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle led his army to Beijing, and the prince and grandson came out of the city gate ten li to greet him with Wenwu Xungui.

Eliminated the troubles in the north, and moved the capital to Beiping, where he was accustomed to living. The territory was expanded, the world prospered, and the Yongle Grand Ceremony was also completed. It can be said that judging from Wenzhiwugong, Zhu Di looked back on his life and consciously achieved an unprecedented feat. People walked lightly, and in the palace, many court ladies and eunuchs were also rewarded, and they received rewards several times for no reason.

It's a pity that there must be disasters for crazy people. The old man was struck by lightning after only a few days of trembling!

Literally, I was struck by lightning!

On August 19th of the [-]th year of Yongle, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was drizzling, and it was rare for Zhu Di to hold a court meeting.

During the court meeting, thunder bursts suddenly sounded in the sky.

This is in autumn, and it is rare to see thunder in autumn!
Before the monarchs and ministers could react, several bolts of lightning struck from the sky, and everyone felt the explosion above their heads, and there was a flame blazing. The Jinyi soldiers on duty hurriedly protected Zhu Di and the officials and escaped from the Fengtian Hall.

After I came out, I found out that not only Fengtian Temple, but also the two main halls behind Fengtian Temple, Huagai and Jinshen, were struck by lightning, and a raging fire was also ignited.

The fire was so intense that more than half of the three halls were burned down in an instant, and Zhu Di returned to the harem with a gloomy face.

As for the three halls, only the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the reconstruction.

But within a few days, a few rumors suddenly appeared in Beijing.

Some said that His Majesty treated Jianwen's lineage too cruelly, and Prince Yiwen was furious; Tianwei was furious; he also said that this was a warning from the heavens, and that Yongle will only rule for 20 years, and only by passing on the throne as soon as possible can Tian's mind be at ease.

With Dongchang and Jinyiwei present, these rumors quickly reached Zhu Di's ears.

Regarding the previous rumors, Zhu Diquan should fart, but the last rumor.

After Zhu Di finished reading the playbooks of rumors played by the two major intelligence agencies, he gave a soft snort.

"I passed on my oral order to order the grandson to take over the prince's supervision of the country. The prince's health is not good, so he should not show his face in the near future, and stay in the Spring Harmony Palace to have a good life."

A quarter of an hour later, the crown prince who was about to go out met the little snot who came to announce the decree, and listened to the old man's oral order with a dazed expression. After the little snot left, the prince sat down on the rattan chair depressed.

"I, I, I... I didn't do anything wrong? Your grandfather is hysterical again? I haven't made any mistakes recently! Didn't I do anything in private?"

Li Yu stood aside, smiling without saying a word.

Dad didn't do it, but it doesn't mean he didn't do it, it's just that Dad suffered an innocent disaster.

However, according to historical records, it was not once or twice that the three halls were struck by lightning, so the old man will always get used to or believe in these rumors.
