Daming heir

Chapter 559 The Supreme Glory Belonging Only to Ming Dynasty
"Bullshit."

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.

Those who came to report saw His Majesty frowning and waving to the outside, and immediately bowed and walked out of Qianqing Palace.

In the bedroom.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Zhu Fuling who was in his arms, handed it to the nurse beside him, and put his hands on his hips.

His face was sullen: "The good son you have taught! Knowing that Taiyuan City is a dangerous place, you still want to run there."

Zhu Biao, who was reviewing the memorial, frowned, turned his head to look at the angry old man, and felt that he was numb.

Who is teaching that kid in the past few years?

Zhu Biao said sternly: "What is the situation in Shanxi Road? It is difficult for us in the capital to know the details. Maybe brother Xie moved according to the times and acted in accordance with the times."

"Where is the current situation?" Zhu Yuanzhang grimaced and hummed: "I think he just wants to be a hero. Now all parties in Shanxi Province are ready, just wait for the rebels to rise up and the court to occupy the righteousness. You know, when the time comes, it will be time for Bingfeng to clean up Shanxi Road."

Zhu Biao put down the vermilion pen in his hand, and hid the stove that had been placed on his lap with both hands in his sleeves.

He stood up and said, "It's not that you don't know why brother Xie did this, and why should you be angry."

snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was stunned, couldn't help snorting coldly, and turned his head to look elsewhere.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly and shook his head.

The old man is really like an old child now, which makes people feel helpless.

He continued: "Sorrow for the hardships of the people's lives. If brother Xun really sat back and watched the rebellion in Shanxi Dao, sweeping innocent people into the fire of war, then he is not worthy of standing in his current position, and he is sorry for you Years of training for him."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little embarrassed, glanced sideways at the prince, and hummed twice.

"You're the only one who can talk?"

Zhu Biao showed his face, shook his head and smiled lightly: "You are nothing more than distressed and worried that Brother Xun will come to the dangerous place in person, or something may happen. But the third child also stayed in Taiyuan City, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen was also in Taiyuan, and Gao Yangzhi and other civil and military officials on the northern tour.

They can go to Taiyuan, why can't brother Xun go?
Because he is a nobleman?Because he is the grandson of the Emperor Jian Guo of the Ming Dynasty?

It is precisely because he is a descendant of my Zhu family that he should go all the more.Let the people in Shanxi Province and the world take a good look at it. The descendants of my Zhu family are not cowards. Even if my Zhu family is desperate for the safety of our descendants, we must also protect the safety of billions of people in the world. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the eloquent prince indifferently, humming softly.

Then he stared: "You are the one who talks the most!"

Zhu Biao walked up to the old man, put the stove in his hand into the old man's hand, and then helped him to sit beside the firebox.

The most undisputed crown prince of the Ming Dynasty said softly, "You should trust brother Xie's judgment, and believe that he is doing what he should do most. Only in this way can he be regarded as the qualified candidate selected by you."

"I have fought more battles than you have eaten!" Zhu Yuanzhang hugged the stove with both hands, and under Zhu Biao's service, he took off his boots and stuffed his feet into the firebox.

He frowned and said in a muffled voice: "Why did Lanyu go to Datong? It is because Brother Xie saw that if the gang of thieves outside the pass heard the news that there was chaos in our Ming Dynasty, they would definitely come here. Lanyu is in Datong, isn't it? In order to deter Shanxi from the north side of Shanxi Road, but to guard against people outside the pass.

This year, the imperial court and the Oala Department discussed the mutual market, and I asked about it early in the morning.The purpose is to prevent the outside of the pass from clumping together until all these things are done.

Even if Brother Xie didn't make this trip to the north of Beijing to find out about Shanxi Dao, I would have to attack Shanxi Dao.

Now that the affairs of Shanxi Road are finished, what will Daming do next? "

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped speaking, and stared quietly at Zhu Biao who was sitting on a small stool and beating his legs for himself.

Zhu Biao nodded: "The matter of Shanxi Dao is over, and the hidden dangers within the court can almost be temporarily suppressed. Even if there are dissatisfied people, they will not dare to mess around at this time because of Shanxi Dao.

At this time, it was your old order that I, the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Nine Frontiers, went out of the Great Wall to sweep up the desert grassland, and completely wiped out the desert grassland with the momentum of sweeping holes in the plow court.

In this way, the north and south of my Ming Dynasty will be peaceful, and the Japanese plague outside the East China Sea will be relieved.Then we can try our best to sort out the New Deal, and Hexi can re-enter the Western Regions, and reproduce the scene of a strong Han and prosperous Tang Dynasty. "

"No!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head flatly and denied Zhu Biao's conclusion.

His eyes flickered, and he pressed the heater under his arms, clasping his hands.

"At that time, the Ming Dynasty will far surpass the mighty Tang Dynasty! I can't see it, but you can see it too. If you can't see it, you will definitely be able to achieve this supreme glory that belongs to my Ming Dynasty alone in the hands of Brother Xie !"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly.

The four sides of the Ming Dynasty are flat, the old man's plan is very big.

"Our Great Ming's highest glory?"

In a small courtyard in Taiyuan City.

The dark night and the icy wind and snow don't seem to stop people from running outside to do things that can only be done in the dark.

Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help looking at Zhu Yunxi sitting in front of him with doubts on his face. He was very puzzled and curious about the supreme glory that belonged exclusively to Daming.

In the small courtyard, the snowfall for several days in succession, although not as heavy as the previous day, kept the snow layer deep enough on the ground.

Sun Cheng led people to hide around the courtyard wall, while Tian Mai led a smaller number of people, but scattered out of the courtyard and hid among the surrounding houses, watching vigilantly for all possible movements that might happen this night.

Gao Yangzhi was very helpless.

It was agreed that His Highness the Emperor Taisun would not enter Taiyuan City again before the eve of His Royal Highness King Jin's birthday.

But tomorrow is King Jin's birthday, and the grandson of the emperor has to enter the city tonight.

There was no gazebo in the yard, and in order not to wake up the pregnant Qiuniang, they could only huddle in the kitchen, lighting a dangling oil lamp that seemed to be extinguished at any moment.

Zhu Yunxi looked very calm, leaning back on this bamboo chair, holding a cup of boiling tea in his hand.

He nodded and said: "The four directions of the Ming Dynasty, now the east and the south have been pacified, and the depth is thousands of miles away. Even if there is a crisis, the imperial court will have enough time to deal with it calmly. When the Shanxi Taoist affairs are resolved this time, the imperial court will be in trouble with the new policy. The bureau will also be truly suppressed.

At that time, there is no need to wait for the soldiers from the Nine Sides to ask for a fight. The emperor's grandfather will definitely make an order. My Ming Dynasty will come out in full force and completely eradicate the danger outside the Great Wall that has plagued our Zhongyuan people for thousands of years.

At that time, the imperial court only needs to diligently repair the internal affairs, rectify Hexi, send troops to the Western Regions, and the situation of the former Han and Tang can be reproduced in our Daming. "

Zhu Yunwen frowned: "It's just that, it's not exclusive."

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Do you know Zhang Ergong?"

Zhu Yunxuan was still searching for the memory of Zhang Ergong in his mind, but Gao Yangzhi twitched his eyes and looked sideways at the grandson of the emperor with his chiseled cheeks under the light.

"The new Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, the first Zhang Ergong who entered the officialdom as a craftsman in the Ming Dynasty?"

There was light in Zhu Yunqi's eyes, and he was quite curious about that Zhang Ergong.

In just a few years, he was able to escape from the craftsmanship and enter the officialdom, and he was able to sit on the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty so quickly.

With this adventure and speed, Manchao could never find another person.

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "It's him. Many new things in the court over the years were brought out by him."

You are a part of it, too.

Gao Yangzhi glanced at Zhu Yunxi silently, thinking that if it wasn't for the support of the emperor's grandson, how could Zhang Ergong have such great luck, he escaped from his craftsman status and became an orderly official of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that although it is surprising that Zhang Ergong took the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, it is the most difficult thing for him to enter the officialdom as a craftsman.

It was also from Zhang Ergong that the current selection of officials in the Ming Dynasty, with the cooperation of public law examinations, has begun to not be limited to those who only read the Four Books and Five Classics and the articles of sages.

Anyone who is needed by the imperial court and has good character, as long as they have the status of a candidate, they will have the opportunity to enter the Ming court.

How about adding another identity as a student of Xinxue?

Gao Yangzhi thought of a compilation of data received by the cabinet before he left Beijing.

Not to mention the places where the effect of governance is slow, but in Yingtian City alone, most of the officials in the yamen of various ministries are occupied by children of Xinxue.

These people can still participate in the public law examination.

In Yingtian, the number of Xinxue students with official status is also increasing at a steady rate.

All of this, just like Zhang Ergong becoming the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, was all promoted by the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Yangzhi sighed in his heart.

Zhu Yunxi continued to explain: "The steamship built by the Ministry of Industry at the Longjiang Shipyard has been launched, and the next step is the iron-clad steamship.

According to what Fan Chong said, not to mention iron-clad steamships, just talking about steamships, my Ming Dynasty is enough to rule the world.

If there is an iron-clad steamship, then only our Ming flag can be seen on the thousands of miles of sea!
Ironclad steamships were faster and carried more.In the past, the Central Plains could only guard this ancestral land, but due to various reasons, it was powerless to the uninhabited land outside.Now, there is an opportunity. "

There is a gap between the times, the Ming Dynasty has mastered the world's most cutting-edge technology, but maintains an innovative and enterprising attitude. No one can defeat it from the outside.

Zhu Yunqi obviously understood this truth, he said quietly: "Throughout the ages, countless history books have said that internal strife is far more serious than foreign aggression. How about the former Han? How about the former Tang? How about the former Song? How about the former Yuan?"

Even if you can conquer all the land outside the Central Plains, you still need human rule in the end.In Lingnan, it has been many years, and the imperial court is still slow to implement the land reform.

Although the local chaos is much less than when the country was founded, it still requires the court to work hard to stabilize it.

This is the case in the imperial court at the moment, what about the new conquest land outside?

The New Deal is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. How many people in the world are temporarily dormant, but what about the future? "

In the past, Zhu Yunqi was an idealist.

It's just that in the past few years, he has more things to think about a certain problem calmly and for a long time.

He stared calmly and profoundly at Zhu Yunxi in front of him, at the third younger brother who had led the Ming Dynasty along a path where no one knew what the scenery would be at the end.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered twice.

"I understand the problem you mentioned, but if you don't do it, it will still be like this. If you do it, there may be some changes."

"If it were you, how would you choose?"

The question was returned to Zhu Yunqi.

After thinking for a long time, he shook his head silently.

"I do not know either."

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "No one knows, but it is man-made. Moreover, with the internal stability of the Central Plains, as Zhang Ergong and others continue to improve the steam train, it can start construction like a cement road. I believe this will shorten the time for the court and the local government. The distance can also control the place more effectively.”

Distance has always been a huge constraint on centralization.

Maybe a certain county in a certain place has already fallen into the hands of bandits, and the central court may only know about it at this time.

Then the imperial court wanted to find out the reason and send troops to suppress it.

In this way, it may take a year or even longer for the central court to resolve a rebellion.

And if during this period, the military operations on the front line fail, or bandits start to flee and sweep the surrounding areas, such a disaster may drag down the entire central court.

The purpose of building roads is to enable the local people to be revitalized and to circulate money and materials.

But at a deeper level, it is also for stronger control.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were dim, and the construction of the railway was as imperative as the cement road.

Just like when he pushed for the establishment of the Daming Tax Office, the purpose was to return the empire's revenue to the imperial court.

Without finances and taxes, no matter how much chaos there is in the local area, they have to be able to spend money and food to buy people's hearts.

"steam train?"

Zhu Yunwen was puzzled, he had never heard of this thing.

Gao Yangzhi nodded, "The railway will be built and the steam train will run on it. The imperial court's control over the local area will definitely be strengthened."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the two and painted a magnificent picture for them.

"Imagine that one day in the future, the iron-clad steamships departing from Yingtian City will cross thousands of miles of seas and no one dares to stop them. The steam trains departing from Yingtian City will connect the entire Central Plains.

Then drive out of the Great Wall, enter the desert grassland, drive to the Western Regions and even further west, drive to Jiaozhi Road and even the entire southern region.

What would the Ming Dynasty look like at that time?
At that time, could the Ming Dynasty afford the supreme glory that belonged exclusively to the Ming Dynasty? "

For some reason, tonight Zhu Yunxi was lying outside the city in the tent of the Chinese army in the camp, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

That's why he came up with the idea of ​​sneaking into the city and chatting with Zhu Yunwen.

Before he knew it, he drew a magnificent picture in front of Zhu Yunqi.Not to mention, hesitation appeared in Gao Yangzhi's eyes.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the two, but stood up and patted his buttocks.

"It's over, go back to sleep!"

"Tomorrow, there will be another excitement waiting for everyone."
