My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 274 Don't Doubt Zhu Di's Combat Power

Xu Jingchang said it easily, but Jian Yi dared to be careless!
He is a loyal minister of Daming, and he absolutely dare not put the emperor in danger, let alone make fun of the fate of the country.

"Mr. Ding, everyone knows that Peiping's finances and taxes have increased, but you must also be clear that the money in Peiping is still on the books. The farm you created has not yet harvested a season of crops, and the military rations still need to be transported by water. You know better than me how many soldiers and food your Majesty has. The Mongols survived the Hongwu Dynasty, and so many generals went to the north, but they failed to destroy them, which shows that the Mongols have something. You can’t underestimate the enemy, and no one can!”

Jian Yi took a deep breath, and said heavily: "We must mobilize food and grass immediately, and send it to His Majesty as soon as possible. If you hesitate, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility...His Royal Highness can't afford it either!"

While talking, Zhu Gaochi really came.

He knew more than Jian Yi, but he didn't know exactly how Xu Jingchang operated.

"My dear brother, Jian Tianguan is not an outsider, so you should tell me quickly, so that everyone can feel at ease."

Xu Jingchang pondered for a while, then sighed: "Let's talk about it, but we still have to keep it secret."

Jian Yi just snorted coldly, even a little disdainful.

Confidential?

What are you kidding?
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were mobilized, and behind them were millions of civilian husbands. It was a thorough mobilization from top to bottom.

Even if everyone is careful not to leak information, but with so many people involved and such a huge scale, as long as they are not fools, it is impossible not to be vigilant.

Therefore, if you want to be invisible, you will never be able to do it.

Especially for him, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to mobilize military supplies and recruit civilian husbands, he must arrange corresponding officials, and it is not nonsense to say that he has concealed Jian Yi!

So far, Jian Yi has not received any news, how can he sit back and relax?

"Unless you didn't use Daming's money!"

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he smiled calmly, "It really makes the heavenly official say that he was right, but he didn't use Daming's money."

"That...impossible!" Jian Yi exclaimed, "Your Majesty needs a million stones of food and grass, how did you get it without anyone noticing it? Isn't this a lie?"

At this time Zhu Gaochi suddenly said: "My dear brother, did you really get the food from Annan?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Annan's 80 shi and Champa's 40 shi have been shipped to Liaodong two months ago."

Jian Yi was shocked at this moment. Two months ago, there was no news of civil strife in the Tatar Ministry, and little Annan, how could he come up with 80 shi of grain?And why is this batch of grain shipped to Liaodong?
Jian Yi was full of doubts and couldn't understand at all.

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Don't worry, let's talk slowly, it's a long story."

Jian Yi was patient, and sat down to listen to Xu Jingchang's explanation. After half an hour, he roughly understood that it was not Xu Jingchang's unknown prophet, but Gui Lichi's identity. There had been rumors for a long time, and even Alutai was on the Persian side. None of the Semu people are serious Mongols.

If you want to say why the Semu people were able to take power in the various tribes of Mongolia, you can only lament the legacy of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

In their situation, it is impossible not to have an accident.

Xu Jingchang's riding and archery competition was not without the purpose of looking for opportunities and instigating internal strife... Moreover, Xu Jingchang communicated with Zhu Di again. After the competition, a battle against Wala is likely to break out.

Zhu Di asked Xu Jingchang to prepare food and grass for military supplies, which had been discussed a long time ago.

Jian Yi nodded, "Even if this is prepared in advance, then you can't conjure food and grass out of thin air! Even if you get food from Annan, what about the money for buying food? You can't advance yourself, can you?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "This money, how much it really has something to do with me, I don't hide it from you, Jian Tianguan, when the Annan Hu Dynasty usurped power, I did them a little favor... No, I was there There are [-] mu of port land on the side, how should I put it, it can be understood as the situation of King Qi in Tianjin. But Annan is no better than Daming, and my business is not that big."

Jian Yi was stunned. Although the business was not as big as Daming, he had the final say over there!Nor would there be so many gods staring at him like King Qi.

"Then, how do you get money and buy food, can you tell me?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It's easy, I set up a bank over there, and I also recruited a lot of local tyrants, so everyone can make a fortune together."

Jian Yi asked curiously, "Can you really get rich?"

"Of course I can. Please think about it, Hu Chao just usurped the throne. There are still many people who are worried about their wealth and lives. Let's go over and set up a bank. They want to do business with Daming and prevent being swallowed. The money has been put into the bank, and let us help keep it. Now that I have money, I can take out a loan to buy some food, so there is nothing difficult."

Jian Yi frowned, "No...Annan is not so incompetent. They have a grudge against Daming, so they won't sit back and watch us buy the grain."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Who said we bought it? I asked Ryukyu to come forward and buy grain from Annan. After all, Ryukyu is a small land, often hit by wind disasters, the land has no harvest, and the people have nothing to eat. Isn't it natural to buy food from outside!"

Jian Yi was stunned, and then showed emotion.

"Dingguo Gong, you use Annan's savings to buy food under the banner of Ryukyu. What if something happens to you? Then what should you do?"

"What else can we do? Let the two countries make trouble! Anyway, it has nothing to do with Daming." Xu Jingchang took it for granted, "You can't expect me to be solely responsible for running a bank, right? I just made an investment mistake."

Jian Yi tensed, stared at Xu Jingchang, and told himself in his heart, don't touch this bastard's business, let alone go with him, otherwise he won't know how he got tricked.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly said: "Annan can harvest three times a year, and Champa rice is famous all over the world. They have no shortage of food. But I still don't know, how did the food get sent to Liaodong?"

This is another new problem, how to send the food when we get it!

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "It was Zheng He who transported the grain, and his fleet sailed under the flag of Ryukyu. When they went out, they were just ordinary merchant ships. Even if someone knew about it, they wouldn't care. When they brought the grain, they passed through Ryukyu. After that, it will go all the way north, close to the south of North Korea and continue north, and turn to Heilongjiang at Nuergandusi!"

For the convenience of speaking, Xu Jingchang also brought a map of Liaodong.

Now it is much more intuitive, Jian Yi and Zhu Gaochi are lying on the map, watching carefully.

After the fleet entered Heilongjiang, it suddenly became clear.

The core shipping conditions in Liaodong are actually excellent.

Of course, if you go in during the winter freezing period, it will be over.

But when it's time for navigation, Heilongjiang, Songhua River, Nenjiang... This huge water network can almost allow ships to reach any place.

Jian Yi was still puzzled, "Mr. Ding, I have seen the waterways, but these waterways are unmanned. Can big ships really pass through them?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Jian Tianguan, your house uses pine beams and columns, right?"

Jian Yi said sullenly, "Yes, I can't afford rosewood and red sandalwood either!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and waved his hands, "I didn't mean to investigate corruption. What are you afraid of? What I mean is, these timbers are all transported through Heilongjiang, the Yalu River, and the Daliao River. The loggers cut down the timber and weaved it Form wooden rafts and go down the river, and they can be sent to Tianjin and other places.”

Jian Yi took a deep breath and gradually realized that his so-called barren land had been developed long ago and was already being used by people, but he didn't know the situation.

Having said that, I am really ashamed.

"Dingguo Gong, you said Liaohe is also fine, why not take Liaohe?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Tianguan, do you believe in Jianzhou Jurchen?"

Jian Yi subconsciously shook his head, "If you are not of my race, their hearts must be different!"

Xu Jingchang nodded, "I think so too. And it can be transported to a deeper place from Heilongjiang. This part is in charge of Cao Guogong. If you want to use his ability, you can rest assured."

Then Jian Yi and Zhu Gaochi asked a few more questions, and Xu Jingchang answered them one by one.

Coming out of Xu's residence, Jian Yi frowned and looked up at the sky, still stunned, it was too unreal.

Without using Daming's money, without using Daming's food, and even bypassing Daming's eyeliner, they just sent a million shi of grain to the front line of Liaodong without anyone noticing it!
Is this something that humans can do?
Xu Jingchang, what a genius!

After sighing, Jian Yi suddenly realized another thing...Jian Yi knew how capable Zhu Di was.

After all, after four years of Jingnan, he has been in Yingtian, and he can feel the heroism of fighting against a country with a small corner!

It can be said that Zhu Di fought against the wind for four years, and he suddenly became the son of heaven.

Not to mention the favorable situation, he now has ample supply of grain and grass, and the cost of these grains and grass is not high, and the price is not high.

Isn't Zhu Di crazy?

In this way, what will be the result of the battle, I dare not even think about it!
Jian Yi realized this, and suddenly shrank his neck. With such a perfect couple, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh...Anyway, Jian Yi could see clearly that he would never be idle.

Jian Yi saw it very accurately, and soon the battle reports kept coming.

The first was the rebellion of the Tatar tribe, who wanted to abolish Guilichi and support a new Khan.

Then the emperor of Ming Dynasty, with righteous words and strict words, reprimanded the rebels, and announced that he would raise troops to fight against rebellion, help Guilichi, and appease the civil strife.

Immediately, Zhu Di sent his army northward... After this news, it was enough for a month, and there was no new battle report.

Just when the big guys were worried, there was good news that Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng defeated the Tatars in Feiyun Mountain and captured more than [-] people!
Just when the big guys were preparing to celebrate, Zhu Di joined forces with Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, and defeated [-] cavalry from the Wala tribe on the western front, and chased them all the way to the Tula River.

"Wei Guogong, do you still remember this place?" Zhu Di, who was on horseback, looked majestic and pointed forward with his whip.

Xu Huizu looked solemn, and nodded vigorously, "How can you not know! In the fifth year of Hongwu, my father led the three-way Northern Expedition, and unfortunately suffered defeat here."

Zhu Di laughed and said: "That's right, today our monarchs and ministers won back for King Zhongshan!"

Speaking of Zhu Di's big horse flying like flying, he galloped along the river, Xu Huizu hesitated a little, and immediately chased after him...
