My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 264 Zhu Gaochi Has Developed
Zhu Di sent away the trembling Japanese envoy, and then looked at Xu Jingchang, "Which country is next?"

"The order is Ryukyu."

Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Let them take it easy, I plan to see Jurchen first."

Xu Jingchang was terrified, he was keenly aware that this Zhu Laosi was going to play tricks.

"The minister obeys the order."

After a while, Aha, the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, came out to command the fellow Zhimeng brother Timur, and the two came to see him one after the other.Aha has already approached Xu Jingchang because of the scoring matter, and he is an old acquaintance.

He was also very polite this time, "Mr. Ding, what's your Majesty's business, can you tell me a little bit first, so that we can prepare."

Xu Jingchang shook his head helplessly, "I really can't do this, and maybe this is some kind of unrivaled grace, just don't miss the opportunity."

The two people were even more frightened when they heard this, and hurriedly bent down, followed Xu Jingchang in, and paid respects to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled all over his face, "Get up, I know, you and Cao Guogong are sworn brothers, and Cao Guogong and I are also considered relatives, we are logically a family... Give me a seat."

The eunuch was taken aback for a moment, and quickly moved chairs for the two Northeast veterans.I was still thinking in my heart, there are so many envoys, but they are the only ones who have seats, and His Majesty treats them really unusually.

When the two thanked En and sat down, Zhu Di said: "I don't like to hide and hide. I have used three thousand Yan Sanwei cavalry in front of me... I want to ask you, Jurchen warriors, what's so special? Maybe you can win Duoyan Sanwei?"

Aha was stunned for a moment, stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Brother Menger Timur can tell from the name alone that he is closer to the Mongols, even the Mongols.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mongolian knights are good at bow and horse, and their riding skills are excellent. When it comes to riding skills, the Jurchens may not be able to catch up with the Mongols. But the Jurchens come from white mountains and black waters, and they can fight bears and tigers with bare hands. They are strong, resistant to hard battles, brave and fearless Life and death. Make good use of heavy arrows, which can pierce through heavy armor and kill the enemy. If you are within a hundred people, the Jurchen warriors are invincible in the world!"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Is that really the case?"

Mengge Timur said: "That's true. Your Majesty doesn't believe it. You can use this opportunity to compete with each other. If you tell lies, your Majesty will punish you severely!"

Zhu Di nodded, then looked at Xu Jingchang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, you command Jinyiwei, but there is an extra quota?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, there are currently eight thousand households under the minister, three of whom are Han generals who live in the imperial palace, and the remaining five thousand households are responsible for internal and external responsibilities, and there is no redundant position."

Zhu Di paused, and said with a smile: "I know, you, the chief inspector of Jinyiwei, are actually mosquitoes."

"how to say?"

"Specially marking people!" Zhu Di raised his head and laughed, "Well, I plan to recruit [-] Jurchen warriors, imitating the [-] Battalion, and hand them over to the prince to lead as the guards of the Eastern Palace, Duke Ding, what do you think?"

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate! It is not appropriate for the crown prince to supervise the country and increase the number of troops without reason. Moreover, the warriors of the Jurchen tribes may not be willing to enter the capital. Once they become the guards of the Eastern Palace, Sure enough, she is outstanding, but there are many rules in the palace, the training is strict, and the follow-up matters are even more complicated, and I don't know how to deal with it for a while."

"I don't care!" Zhu Di snorted, "I just want to ask you two, would you like to?"

Ahachu and Mengge Timur looked at each other, and they suddenly remembered the great grace that Xu Jingchang said...becoming the prince's east palace guards, once the prince ascends the throne, they are the emperor's personal guards, although they are Jurchens, but Also know the portion.The Ming emperor entrusted safety to them.

May I ask who dares to neglect?

For the current Jurchen ministries, they didn't think too much, and it was indeed the best result to get the grace of Daming.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing! From now on, the ministers must obey orders, not avoid life and death, and be loyal!"

These two spoke out all the good words they learned on the fly.

Satisfied, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are loyal to Daming and listen to the court, I will not treat you badly, and neither will Daming."

Zhu Di said a lot more before letting the grateful two go down.

Then Zhu Di smiled slightly, his face full of complacency.

He sat down and took a sip of tea, then pointed to the seat for Xu Jingchang to sit down too.

"I know, you all say that I can spend money, and you waste the money you have worked so hard to save by waving your hands. But how do you understand that as the emperor, you can't spend it! If I don't spend money, no one will listen My, to control the servants, win over the people, no matter what you do, you can’t do without spending money.”

Zhu Di laughed again, and changed the subject, "But I'm not someone who only knows how to spend money and doesn't know how to save money, so I used this time to recruit three thousand Jurchen warriors as the guards of the Eastern Palace. Can you see what I'm planning?" ?”

Xu Jingchang frowned, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to figure it out for a while... Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is making bold moves against the sky, and there is nothing around him, so he can't live without soldiers and horses? That's why he thought of using Jurchens to protect him, so as to ensure everything is safe?"

Xu Jingchang is not talking nonsense. Zhu Gaochi just abolished the Imperial College and offended countless scholars.

The use of barbarian soldiers and horses is also the old wisdom of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Even in later generations, a certain country relied on the foreign legion to sit on the throne of the Supreme Emperor of Africa.

Generally speaking, it is reasonable to use an outsider without foundation as a knife in your hand... The premise is to ensure the scale, control the money and food, avoid chaos, and control the upper-level officers... In short, it is a double-edged sword.

But with the current strength of Daming, as well as Zhu Di, and even Zhu Gaochi's level, I feel that it can be played.

After all, I still have Jinyiwei in my hands, and there are so many nobles and nobles, and three thousand Nuzhen soldiers, nothing can be changed.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "You are right to say this, but who told you that I will hand over three thousand Jurchen soldiers to the crown prince?"

Xu Jingchang was surprised, "Your Majesty, if you don't hand it over to the crown prince, how can you be regarded as the crown prince's guard? This doesn't make sense!"

Zhu Di laughed loudly, "Unexpectedly, you, a smart person, are also confused... Think about it again, I first summoned the North Korean envoy, and then I met the Japanese envoy, what did I say? What's the meaning?"

Xu Jingchang pondered for a while, and he was so blessed that he suddenly had an idea.

"North Korea wants to invite Daming to send troops to help them deal with the Japanese pirates. Daming sends troops directly, which costs too much. It is better to use Jurchen soldiers and let them go to the Japanese country."

Zhu Di nodded, "That's right, what else did you guess?"

"Your Majesty put the Jurchen soldiers under the name of His Highness the Crown Prince, and said that they would not be sent to Yingtian, but handed over to the Crown Prince. I only thought of a way, which is to let them be stationed in the Wa Kingdom in the future, and look after the property for His Highness... Your Majesty will not Are you going to hand over the gold and silver mines of Wa Kingdom to the crown prince?"

Zhu Di clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "It's you Ding Guogong after all, you really have a quick brain."

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a long while and said: "No matter how fast the mind of the minister is, it is not as clever as His Majesty! Using this hand is enough to keep the three parties stable for 20 years."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Is it really possible to be stable for 20 years?"

Xu Jingchang laughed and said, "As long as Daming doesn't make a fuss, it will be safe!"

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, and immediately burst out laughing.

Zhu Di's arrangement in this way can be regarded as extremely wise, which fully embodies the four-two-thousand-thousand-jin of Chinese Kungfu.

Gathering [-] Jurchen warriors is not only a promotion, but also a restraint, and it is a draw from the bottom.Taking away this part of the core combat power, the Jurchen ministries can't just add chaos.

The threat from the North that North Korea feared is gone.

But if this team is going to deal with Japanese pirates, they will naturally be stationed in North Korea, which means inviting the threat to their home.

This is Zhu Di's beating against North Korea again. Children are disobedient, but they will be spanked.

Especially the land around the Yalu River is not something you can covet, obediently hand over the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

When it comes to the country of Wa, it is even more interesting.

In fact, with the gold and silver mines in Japan, Zhu Di will not let them go, but after so many reminders, Zhu Di also understands that wars must be settled, especially economic accounts, and business that loses money cannot be done.

Using Jurchen soldiers and leveraging their strength is naturally one of the safest choices.

If there is anything else, it is to take care of Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Di felt that it was really necessary to enhance the authority of the princes and train talents for them.But it is not a good idea to give Zhu Gaochi thousands of soldiers and horses early.

But there is nothing wrong with giving the crown prince a little money.

Especially let the prince's men and horses stare at him. All the gold and silver will belong to Zhu Gaochi. In the future, the prince will employ people. These three thousand soldiers are also Zhu Gaochi's surprise army.

"Your Majesty is well-intentioned, and your ministers are dedicated to the ground, but has your Majesty ever thought that the gold and silver of the Japanese country are not a small amount, and it is appropriate to give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Xu Jingchang, you are a man who sees everything and hears everything. How much money do you think the second child has now?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It's hard for this minister to say the exact figure, but according to my estimation, his bank was worth more than 2000 million taels after he got it in Beiping, and the silk business in the south is also 500 million taels. His food business and so on, his wealth exceeds 4000 million taels, he is really rich!"

"What about the third child? How about his property?"

"Although His Royal Highness Zhao Wang only has the mansion newspaper on the surface, but with his cooperation with the kings and the construction of Tianjin, he will be able to acquire at least 1000 million taels of property in two or three years."

Zhu Di smiled, "That's right, then you said that I would give the boss some money so that he would not be shabby. Are you saying that I was wrong? They are all sons. In fact, I love the boss the most, otherwise I would not give the prince the crown prince. Give him the position, don't you think?"

Xu Jingchang nodded quickly, "What Your Majesty said is true, Your Majesty is really a loving father!"

Zhu Di smiled, "Is your family going to import someone too? Just in these few months?"

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Indeed, I'm going to be a father too. To be honest, I'm still not used to it."

Zhu Di laughed, "It's nothing. In fact, I was quite surprised at the beginning. I don't understand why I had an extra son for no reason... I didn't get used to it until the second and third child were born. They say that I prefer the second child, but in fact I don't like it." It's too clear how to get along with the boss."

Xu Jingchang was startled, and nodded hastily, "Thank you Your Majesty, I will try my best to be a good father."
