Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 397: Establishing Ziguang Pavilion, Song Dynasty: Brother Pingtou on the Island

"The prince is here?"

Zhu Qiyu did not scold him directly, but asked him to sit down: "Sit down."

"Prince, I know that you are determined to make progress, and it is for me to see."

"This is a good thing. It shows that you have learned how to be an emperor."

"But do you know why I have a soft spot for my veteran?"

"Every time I reformed, I always had a heated argument with my old ministers. How many harsh words did we say to each other? Then I welcomed them back. Do you know the reason?"

Zhu Qiyu asked the prince to help him walk around the courtyard.

Zhu Jianqi finally let go of her frightened heart.

His father has changed.

Everyone in the world thought that the old emperor knew how to fight.

Therefore, the nobles and nobles of the whole court worshiped him to the utmost.

Because the military morale is in the hands of the old emperor.

"I am not smart, wise, or tolerant. I don't even know how to govern a country."

Not only him, but everyone in the world subconsciously felt that the old emperor was the god of war and the best fighter in the world!

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Actually, my talent is far inferior to yours."

"No, Your Majesty, the capital needs you to be in charge more..."

"I am nothing like a middle-aged man. I even said that I didn't know how to be an emperor for eight years before I ascended the throne."

Zhu Jianqi looked at his father stupidly: "You don't know how to govern a country, so how come the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous?"

However, the old emperor actually said that he did not know how to fight. Isn't this nonsense?
"Hahaha!"

"Talent is naturally extremely high." Zhu Jianqi also thought so in his heart. The old emperor must have extremely high talents to lead the Ming Dynasty to what it is today.

Some people even believe that Emperor Jingtai's military ability surpassed that of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and was close to that of Genghis Khan.

Even if the old emperor lets him get involved in military power, once the old emperor wants to take it back, he can take it back with just one sentence.

Zhu Jianqi nodded quickly: "Your cultural and martial arts skills can be said to be the pinnacle of saints. Among all the wise kings in the past dynasties, you can be the best."

"Before I answer these questions, let me ask you first, what do you think of my talent?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Then do you think I know how to fight?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I don't know how to fight..."

However, subconsciously, he really thought that his father was the Ming Dynasty's military god.

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Prince, I am not a god. Who told you that I formulate the strategy of every battle?"

"If I knew how to fight, how could I defend Beijing?"

Even the palace attendants were shocked and even said they couldn't do it.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "In terms of talent, I am not as good as you, and I am far inferior to my grandson."

"If I knew how to fight, would I sit in the capital? I would have been on the front line long ago!"

Because the old emperor was a horse-riding emperor, what he was best at was fighting.

"Shit, you've all grown up, and you still want me to be in charge?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

But the old emperor really never fought a battle.

"You said it wrong again."

"But all the military honors in the court were selected by you. All the ministers in the court said that you are the military god of the Ming Dynasty... How can you not know how to fight?" Zhu Jianqi was completely stunned. It shouldn't be, old emperor. How could he not know how to fight?
Impossible.

"Your Majesty is naturally working hard and magnanimous..."

"It is true that you did not command the specific war, but you formulated the overall strategy. You are the commander-in-chief of the generals in the world!"

"If I knew how to fight, the Wara Tatars would have been destroyed long ago!"

Zhu Jianqi is also in his fifties. If you think about it carefully, it seems that his father has never participated in the war or formulated any strategies.

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said: "If I knew how to fight, how could I sit in the capital all the time? I have been fighting on the front line for a long time, how can I never participate in a specific war?"

Zhu Jianqi always thought that Yang Xin and Li Jin did not listen to him because he did not understand fighting and did not even agree with marching to fight.

Everyone in the world thought that the old emperor knew how to fight.

Zhu Qiyu interrupted his flattery: "I'm talking about character and talent!"

But Zhu Qiyu couldn't even read the military manual.

Zhu Jianqi was startled and lost her voice: "How is this possible?"

"You know how to order something and show it off."

In the past, his father would have made him kneel outside the temple for two hours before talking, and then he would curse him.

Jingtai Chao conquered the world. You tell me that Emperor Jingtai doesn't know how to fight?
Isn't this an emperor on horseback?
Are you kidding me?
"Have I personally directed a war?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

Yes.

It's human nature to show off everything you know how to do, but the old emperor had never been on the battlefield.

Not to mention Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong of the Song Dynasty is estimated to have a higher level of Da Zhang than Zhu Qiyu.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to play donkey cart drifting.

During the Jingtai Dynasty, the emperor never visited the battlefield in person, not even once, and he did not even ask for a personal expedition.

"You understand this time." Zhu Qiyu smiled.

Zhu Jianqi was still a little confused.

"I don't know how to fight at all, and I can't even read military instructions."

Zhu Qiyu told the truth: "But why was the Ming Dynasty able to conquer the world? Why?"

"Because you know how to make good use of people, and you appoint talents and make use of them." Zhu Jianqi replied.

Are you an elm-headed person? You can’t even teach like this?

Zhu Qiyu could only break it open, crush it into pieces and tell him: "You also know who the talented person is, but will you use him as always?"

"Let's just talk about Wang Qiong. If he was defeated by the Ottomans and you were the emperor, would you continue to use him as your commander-in-chief indifferently?"

"Prince, famous generals are made through hard work and experience from failures."

"What do you think of Yang Xin?"

Zhu Jianqi said truthfully: "This man is the top general in our Ming Dynasty."

"When he was young, he was still a fool and couldn't fight."

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I just used him. I gave him the opportunity to learn from his failures, and he became a peerless general step by step."

"do you understand?"

"Famous generals are not born, they are made with human lives."

"I have made more than a thousand counts, and all of them were killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Without me, they would have been lost among the people. Where would they have left their names in history? Where would they have been rich for thousands of years?"

"Just tell me that you hate Zhu Yong. If I don't use him, he will be just an earl. But I believe in him. He is also the Duke of the country now."

"Isn't it safe for him to guard the Northeast? Who said he can't fight?"

"Prince, you are the emperor. You may not know how to fight, but you must promote people who can fight and let them lead troops to fight for you. Since they are used, you must trust them. Don't doubt your own choices. Trust them to the end. They’ll reward you.”

Zhu Qiyu has made many mistakes in recent years.

But the Ming Dynasty has a strong foundation, and it doesn't matter if it loses once or twice.

So many generals have been trained through experience.

I used to worry about not having a commander-in-chief, but now does the Ming Dynasty really lack a commander-in-chief?
There is no shortage, but there is a shortage of people who dare to use famous generals!
Let’s just say that the prince has a bad relationship with Yang Xin. Is it possible that he will delay national affairs because of his personal feelings?
Zhu Jianqi was thoughtful.

The old emperor did not know how to fight, but he brought down the world.

"I suggest you read the history of the Yuan Dynasty and see how Genghis Khan used people."

"How did a tribe that emerged on the Mongolian plateau gradually make the world fearful?"

"I can sum it up in one sentence: employ people!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Genghis Khan is the emperor who knows how to use people best in the world. Look at his four founding dogs, which one is not an ordinary person? But in Genghis Khan's hands, all of them are world-famous generals."

"This is the same as the Taizu of this dynasty."

"If there were no Taizu, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, and Li Shanchang would be just ordinary living beings. How could their names be remembered in history?"

"I am different from Genghis Khan and Emperor Taizu. They can fight, but I can't."

"But is Jingtai's prosperity worse?"

"Doesn't the whole world still surrender at my feet?"

"I have done what Genghis Khan could not do!"

Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "Employ people."

His tone softened: "Let's talk about politics."

"I don't know how to govern the world at all."

"You also know that I was originally a vassal king. I was the emperor who was elected by the courtiers out of desperation during the most critical moment of the Ming Dynasty when the Japanese king was defeated and captured."

"I have never received an orthodox imperial education, and I don't know how to govern a country."

"It's just a matter of urgency."

"The first eight years of my administration were pure nonsense, because I didn't know how to govern at all."

"and after."

"I suddenly understood. If I don't understand, I can leave it alone and let people who understand help me manage it."

"From then on, I handed over the government affairs to the six ministries of the cabinet, and the power of red approval was also handed over to the Supervisor of Ceremonies."

"One person is short-changed and many are wronged."

"If all major national affairs are handled by me alone, do you think I will die from exhaustion? Will I still handle political affairs seriously after being overworked? If the center is wrong, the place will be wrong. As the emperor, I cannot make any mistakes. Anything wrong.”

"Since they are the center, and since the dynasty is full of civil and military officials, why not leave government affairs to them? Therefore, I will hand over all government affairs to the six ministries and five temples of the cabinet."

"I am only responsible for steering the rudder of the Ming Dynasty, that's all. That's enough."

“That’s why the Ming Dynasty is what it is today.”

"Everyone in the world says it is my fault, but in fact it is the fault of everyone in the government and the public."

"In the past few years, you and your brothers were in charge of the government on my behalf. Didn't the world function normally?"

"It's because there is a good system."

"As an emperor, it is enough to hold a seal and control the imperial power. You must not make fun of the country, let alone make you angry, and you must not use the country as an experiment."

"It's always cold at high places, and the center can't make the slightest mistake."

"Everyone in the world is staring at the Central Committee. Any decision made by the Central Committee is related to the livelihood of thousands of people, so they must be cautious."

"Even today, when I am in power, I am walking on thin ice. Every matter has to be discussed repeatedly in court."

"When you have a famous weapon, you have to walk on thin ice. In this position, you can't go wrong."

"So the ones I match for you are all veterans."

"These veterans are all talented people."

"Let's just say that Wang Shu is an expert in both military and political affairs, and I am far inferior to him; Ma Wensheng and Yu Zijun, who are all-rounders in military and political affairs, are my right-hand men, Wang Hao, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Daxia, Wang Hua, Yang Tinghe, and Yang Yiqing Who is not a top talent?"

"Just pick one out, no matter in terms of knowledge or ability, they are stronger than me."

"How luxurious it is for me to put such a group of people in the center. You don't need such a luxurious lineup?"

"There are Yang Xin, Li Jin, Zhu Yong, Zhao Fu, Tao Lu, Xu Tai, Liu Ning, Wang Xin, Li Gao, etc. in the army. Which one is not a top general?"

"You don't trust them?"

"Besides the Ming Dynasty, among Wang Qiong, Wang Hua, Li Chengxun, Gu Dingchen, Li Tianhe, Fei Hong, etc., which one is not an extremely talented person?"

"Do they have any dissatisfaction with Daming? Do they have any dissatisfaction with you?"

"Prince!"

"I know you want to make some achievements of your own, get rid of my shackles, and find a path that belongs to you Zhu Jianqi."

"But Jiangshan Sheji cannot make the slightest mistake or cause the slightest disturbance."

"In such a huge empire, even I am treading on thin ice. How can you compete with your ideals and the center?"

"This is harming the people and destroying your country and country!"

Pfft!
Zhu Jianqi knelt directly on the ground: "I know my mistake."

After being comforted by the old emperor, he awakened his bloodline and wanted to lead the Ming Dynasty on his own path, and did not want to stand in the shadow of his father.

But his father's words were a revelation.

The country, the country, and the country must not have the slightest disturbance, nothing will do.

"I know that the old ministers have corrupt minds and have always been very unsupportive of new trends. I have suffered deeply from this."

Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "But I want to tell you, what Ming Dynasty wants is stability, and every step must be steady."

"If it were the previous territory, it was just two capitals and thirteen provinces. You can play around with it as you wish. There is a lot of room for error."

"What now? The territory is more than 20 million square kilometers!"

"The distance between north and south takes a month by train! There are also Borneo and Luzon that are isolated outside."

"How can you make fun of such a huge territory?"

"If you are not careful, if a province breaks away, there will be instability in the province."

"Do you know why I decided to go to Xing'an Mountain?"

"Because the north is too big and the temperature is too low, it's impossible to manage it."

"Once some rebellious officials and traitors get in, the Ming Dynasty will be unable to suppress the bandits. It is better to simply abandon it and slowly use it when conditions are available in the future."

"Don't think that Ming Dynasty is invincible."

"On the contrary, the enemy of Ming Dynasty is its own vassal state."

"Look at the map of Wei State, and you will know that he will become one of the biggest enemies next to Ming Dynasty. No one can predict the future world."

"You also know that the fourth child's ability is unique among many princes. Sooner or later, he will become the real emperor of Eastern Europe and become a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu patted him on the shoulder: "I know you want to reform and you want to break through the constraints I have set."

"But now is not the time."

"Your intentions are good. I see that you are working hard, but you must pay attention to your methods and unite the ministers around you. Only then will they sincerely support you and make suggestions for you."

"Like Wang Shouren, I can't stand that guy's bad temper."

"Leave him to you, and you'll probably bench him in a few days."

"But he is an astonishing talent. If you make good use of him, he will be like my Yu Qian. If Wang Shu gives you, he will be like my Hu Hui back then!"

"Yang Xin, Li Jin, you can always trust them without reservation."

"Tao Lu, Xu Tai, Liu Ning, Wang Xin, etc. can all become the mainstays of your court. You will never need to doubt their loyalty."

"With so many elite soldiers protecting you, your throne is as secure as Mount Tai!"

"Prince, no minister is born rebellious, it is the king who forces him to rebel!"

Zhu Qiyu's words were serious and thoughtful, and he even hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.

"Did the Cao family force Sima Yi to rebel against him?" Zhu Jianqi felt that what his father said was wrong, and he always had to be careful with his ministers.

"The Three Kingdoms period is the Three Kingdoms period, this is the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said: "There is no soil for rebels to survive in the Ming Dynasty, let alone the birth of Sima Yi! Do you think the system established by Taizu and Taizong will be bad? Who have you seen rebelling over the years? Which ministers have rebelled?"

"In the Ming Dynasty, there was no rebellion among concubines, no rebellion among feudal lords, no rebellion among powerful ministers, and no rebellion among eunuchs."

"This is a system! Do you understand?"

"Okay, let's take a step back. Wang Qiong and Wang Xian have more than one million soldiers. Aren't they not rebelling?"

"That's because you are here." Zhu Jianqi was very unsure of herself.

He is not like the old emperor, who really delegated power.

Why Yu Qian was able to become a god is because the old emperor really delegated power.

If Wang Shouren had been born ten years earlier, he would now be the second Yu Qian, or even surpass Yu Qian.

"You."

Not enough words to speculate.

Zhu Qiyu had broken it, crushed it, and fed it to him, but he just vomited it.

"I said that no one in the Ming Dynasty can rebel. Why don't you believe it?"

That's you.

Zhu Jianqi still said the same thing.

What an idiot!
Zhu Qiyu suppressed his anger and explained: "The factory guard, there are eunuchs, civil servants in the army, as well as the Military Discipline Department and the Military Officer Department. With so many informants, do you think there will be a rebellion in the army?"

"Use your brain. Those rumors are buried nails. No one knows about it except you and me!"

"Eunuchs can only exist depending on the imperial power!"

"Civil officials are natural enemies of military generals. Look at how many impeachment memorials the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department issue every day. Will they collude with military generals?"

"Be smart, the Ming Dynasty has no place for military generals to rebel!"

Zhu Qiyu was a little anxious: "When Wang Yue was alive, he commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. He didn't return to the court for twenty years. Did he rebel?"

"Even if he doesn't return to the court for a hundred years, he won't be able to rebel!"

"Unless you force him to rebel!"

"Otherwise, no one will rebel. Isn't it nice to be a distinguished noble? You live with the country, and your throne is as stable. Who would risk beheading to rebel? Which noble and civil servant family doesn't have a few hundred members? ?”

"You must be crazy to rebel!"

Zhu Jianqi was sprayed with foam on her face again.

I didn't say that any of my ministers must rebel. It's always right to be more defensive.

Zhu Qiyu was speechless: "Make good use of your veterans, listen more, read more, and make less decisions."

Are you still the emperor if you don’t make a decision?
Zhu Jianqi was very stubborn in this regard. While guarding against the generals, he mixed things up randomly. Although he did not make a mess, it greatly reduced administrative efficiency.

Zhu Qiyu knew that he could not teach well.

If the prince could choose, he would never choose him as the prince. He was too arrogant. The older he got, the less likely he was to listen to his words.

If a big country has wise kings from generation to generation, how can it be repaid?
The noble man has been beheaded for five generations. If this generation is not a fool, the next generation will be miserable.

The grandson was a little better, but the grandson was really naughty and had his hair cut off. This was a stupid move, which shows his political ability.

We can only hope that he will be obedient, and Daming will not do anything.

Zhu Qiyu sent him away.

Wang Shouren came to serve, and Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked him: "What do you think of the prince?"

"I dare not speak ill of your Majesty." Wang Shouren did not dare to say.

"I let you say it."

Wang Shouren hesitated slightly and said, "You are not a benevolent gentleman."

"Do I want you to evaluate whether he is benevolent or unkind?" Zhu Qiyu laughed. "Back to Your Majesty, after I finished speaking, I'm afraid I will follow you away in the future." Wang Shouren was holding back his big move.

"I will give you a golden body." Zhu Qiyu said.

Wang Shouren gritted his teeth and said: "The prosperous Ming Dynasty will probably be destroyed by the hands of the prince."

I really dare to say this.

"Where's the grandson?"

"My grandson is not a good man either." Wang Shouren had offended the next two generations of monarchs.

"I see you really want to leave with me."

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said, "Is there still hope?"

Wang Shouren shook his head.

Zhu Youquan's hair grows more crooked and becomes worse every year.

"Even you said it was hopeless. I'm afraid the Ming Dynasty will come to an abrupt end. Let's see who will rise in the vassal country."

Zhu Qiyu understood the profound meaning of Wang Shouren's words.

The prince and grandson don't know how to employ people.

The great talent is here, and they don't know how to use it.

The prince's eldest uncle, Yang Tinghe, also had a bad relationship with the prince. It would be a good thing if the prince reused Yang Tinghe.

But Yang Tinghe also had a bad mouth. He always tried to remonstrate with the prince, but the prince annoyed him the most.

There are few people who use people like Emperor Jingtai.

In fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the prince to do this. People in the world can get used to this thing. There is no right or wrong.

"They are all flowers that have not experienced wind and rain."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I want my grandson to stay in Japan for a few years and gain some experience. What do you think?"

Wang Shouren immediately showed bitterness. It turned out that this golden body was meant for him to accompany his grandson.

"Wei Chen is still willing to serve you." Wang Shouren and the old emperor still had a lot to talk about.

"I'm a bad old man, so you can't go underground with me. Serve your great grandson well. I'm very optimistic about your future as the ruler of the world."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I also hope that there will be another saint in the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Shouren muttered: "I would still like to go home and write a book."

"The Ming Dynasty decrees that you cannot escape death. I can protect you when I am here. If I am gone, you will be gone. Go ahead. My grandson is not a small-minded person. You can assist him well. Your achievements in the future will be far away." Above Li Dongyang."

This is the highest praise.

He married Li Dongyang's daughter.

Historically, all of Li Dongyang's sons died, but because of advanced medicine, Li Dongyang's son was saved.

And because the old emperor had nothing to do, he gave Li Dongyang women. Li Dongyang had seven sons and twelve daughters.

But only seven survived to adulthood, two sons and five daughters.

The eldest daughter married the emperor's nineteenth son, King Zhong Zhu Jianrui.

The youngest daughter married Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren was a blessing to the people of Qi. He had two wives, one was his cousin Zhu Shi, the daughter of his father's close friend Zhu Yanghe, and his wife Ping was the youngest daughter of Li Dongyang.

In order for him to arrange for Li Dongyang's daughter, the old emperor was very embarrassed.

Zhu Yanghe was also a Jinshi, and the old emperor promoted him.

This shows the old emperor's love for Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren's daughter was still young, and the old emperor had already made a reservation to marry his grandson, the eighth son of the prince, Zhu Youzhao.

It stands to reason that Wang Shouren's marriage to the Tian family has made him gilded.

But with his foul mouth and such a devilish character, the old emperor only loved him. If it had been anyone else, he would have been put on the bench long ago.

Zhu Youzha's marriage was also decided by the old emperor.

The prince didn't want to. He had a very bad impression of Wang Shouren. This guy always had his nose in the air and never spoke falsely to him, the future emperor.

There are many prostitutes in Ming Dynasty.

Li Dongyang has been dragging him since he was a child, but now he only gives in for five buckets of rice. He is often dragged in the middle of the court.

It's normal for talented people to have some quirks.

But Li Dongyang has a very close relationship with the prince, because Li Dongyang can talk and coax the prince around.

"By the way, I want to build the Ziguang Pavilion and ennoble the officials of the Jingtai Dynasty. Do you want to join the pavilion?" Zhu Qiyu asked him with a smile.

"minister?"

Wang Shouren thought but was helpless: "How can I be qualified to join the cabinet?"

"You are the future Ming Dynasty Yu Qian, why are you not qualified to join the cabinet? You go to the Japanese country first, and then I will give you the opportunity to join the cabinet!"

Wang Shouren felt that he had no chance.

He also hated that he was born ten years too late. It would be such a blessing to be an official in the Jingtai Dynasty.

"You are the amazing talent I left to my great grandson. You will be needed to save the Ming Dynasty from fire and water in the future. Remember my words and go."

Zhu Qiyu felt uneasy.

The prince and grandson are unreliable, and the future of Ming Dynasty is not bright.

News that the emperor wanted to build Ziguang Pavilion and reward the heroes spread like wildfire.

The government and the public are discussing who can be included in Ziguang Pavilion.

The key point is how many people need to be admitted. If we take the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion as an example, many people will have no chance.

If the number of people is relaxed, more people will enter, and the gold content will also decrease.

The old emperor was also thinking.

At this time, important ministers from the cabinet came to pay homage to Yangxin Hall.

"Everyone wants to know who can make the list?" Zhu Qiyu joked.

We are all ordinary people, who doesn’t want to go up and be glorious?

"How many people will your Majesty decide to put on the list?" Li Dongyang asked with a smile.

"Twenty-four people are certainly few, so let's wait and see."

Those who must join the cabinet: Yu Qian, Hu Xi, Zhang Feng, Yao Kui, Wang Hong, Xu Jue, Ye Sheng, Zhu Ying, Han Yong, Xiang Zhong, Li Bing, Chen Wen, Bai Ang, Geng Jiuchou, Bai Gui, Nian Fu , Li Xian, Wang Fu, Wang Yue, Fan Guang, Yang Xin, Li Jin, Li Zhen, Yuan Jie, Kou Shen, Li Shi, Ou Xin, Mao Sheng, Zhao Fu, Mao Zhong, Yu Mian, Hu Xiu, Wang Lai, Li Kuang, Fang Ying, Tao Cheng, Guo Deng, Liang Yue, Shenying, Tao Lu.

That's forty people.

Such as Wang Shu, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Daxia, Ma Ang, Ma Jin, Zhang Fuhua, Cheng Xin, Xiang Wenyao, Luo Qi, Wang Wei, Yue Zheng, Lu Yuan, Shang Ren, Peng Shi, He Wenyuan , Lin Cong, Xue Xuan, Gong Yongji, Gao Ming, Xia Xun, Liao Zhuang, Bian Yong, Chen Jiayou, Zuo Ding, Tu Qian, Xuan Xian, Xiao Weizhen, Zhou Xuan, Yu Shiyue, Liu Guangheng, Song Yan, Xue Xilian, Wang Fu, Yu Zi Jun, Ma Wensheng, Peng Yi, Min Gui, Xu Ning, Chen Yu, Xu Tai, Ren Li, Cao Yi, Chen You, Zhou Xi, Wang Xin, Li Gao, Tao Jin, Yi Xuchun, Song Wei, Liu Ning, Mao Hai, Mao Rong, Song Cheng, etc., shouldn’t these people be there?
There are too many people who deserve it.

It was discharged and the old emperor was shocked.

This is only part of it.

There are also many nobles who have won crucial battles in major wars.

"How about just recording the hundred heroes of Ziguang Pavilion?" Zhu Qiyu didn't need to favor one over the other.

There are 56 must-have characters listed just now, and of them have merit enough to be on the list, so there are only four spots left.

Wang Qiong, Wang Xian, Li Chengxun, and Wang Hao are all available.

Where is Li Kan? Where is Zhou Yu? Where is Mu Cong? Where is Mu Bin? Where is Wang Yikui? Where is Qin Hong? Where is Qian Pu? Where is Qiu Jun? Where is Yin Zhi? Where is Fei Hong? Where is Min Gui? Where is Xing You? What are the positions of Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing, Lin Jun, Gu Dingchen, Hu Shining, and Li Tianhe?
It would be wrong to squeeze them all out.

"Let's just put them all on the list without setting a specific number of people."

Zhu Qiyu made the final decision.

List all the meritorious ministers of the Jingtai Dynasty, hang portraits on their statues, and offer sacrifices to them from generation to generation.

Once there is no limit on the number of people, the number of people will soar to 150!
In the evening, the officials went back and dug around again, and fifty more people came in.

There are 200 people in total, sorted according to merit.

It is expected that the Ziguang Pavilion will be completed in two years, with statues and paintings hanging for permanent worship.

As the weather gets cooler.

Zhu Youzong brothers embarked on their mission.

When they saw their two elder brothers going to inherit the clan, they said they had no idea at all. That was a lie.

But the whole world is already owned by an owner.

If you want to succeed to the feudal clan, you have to find a way from the domain of the feudal king, which is almost impossible.

This mission was also a test for them by the old emperor.

The old emperor still clung to Greece and did not enfeoff it.

Among the five brothers, whoever performs well may go to Greece to succeed the vassal.

Of course, this was their imagination, and the old emperor didn't say anything.

Zhu Youxuan went to Oceania.

Take the railway from the capital to Tianjin, take the treasure ship of the envoy, and travel thousands of miles to Oceania.

The treasure ship had to dock in Luzon Province to obtain supplies before it could go to the first country in Oceania, the Song Dynasty.

The treasure ship is no longer a wooden ship, it is an iron ship, and its power is also a steam engine. It can travel on the sea at any time regardless of the monsoon.

There was only one island in the Ming Dynasty, Luzon, and all the other islands belonged to the Shen Kingdom of Shen King Zhu Jianhu.

As a close neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, King Shen had the smallest territory and was also the country that was best cared for.

In the past few years, Shen State has been asking Ming Dynasty for Luzon Province and wanted to incorporate Luzon into Shen State's territory, but was rejected by the central government.

The southern border of the Ming Dynasty was sealed with Luzon Island - Mindoro Island - Coron Island - Princess Island - Borneo - Singapore - Malacca.

Within the island chain, all islands belong to the Ming Dynasty.

The islands outside the island chain have also been divided in detail, and they basically belong to the vassal state.

In order to compensate Shen Guo, Ming Dynasty built railway lines throughout the territory for free, and also gave Shen Guo permanent protection rights, as well as tax concessions for the import and export of goods and other benefits.

But when it comes to territorial issues, Ming Dynasty will not give in at all.

Because of this division, the South China Sea island chain was formed, which permanently isolated the war from the Ming Dynasty.

Luzon Province is the smallest province in Ming Dynasty.

It has the main island of Luzon, Panganiban, Mindoro, Rock, Coron, Princess Island, and Balabac Island, which together form the province of Luzon.

In the forty-fifth year of Jingtai's reign, Baozhou Prefecture was once assigned to Luzon Province.

But in the 52nd year of Jingtai, it was assigned to Fujian Province.

The islands and reefs of the Ming Dynasty in Yanhai were assigned to the three provinces of Luzon and Borneo based on the principle of proximity.

Even though Luzon is small.

Luzon is very wealthy.

It is rich in gold mines, and many mainlanders come here to hunt for gold. The island is full of rubber plantations, coconut plantations, sugar cane plantations, as well as tea and coffee trees.

In the past two years, due to the European plague, many heavily polluting industrial chains have been transferred from the mainland, driving Luzon's economic development.

The population of the small Luzon Province has reached a terrifying 100 million.

In the past two years, the transfer of industrial chains in the mainland has made Luzon overcrowded.

Because of its dense population, many high-rise buildings have been built in Luzon Province, especially Baguio, the provincial capital. It feels like an international metropolis, with no building below twenty floors.

There is no elevator these days, so we have to walk on our legs.

It looks grand from the outside, but the people living here are miserable.

I have to climb stairs every day.

In the 1700th year of Jingtai, Baguio City has become a first-tier city in the Ming Dynasty, with a population of more than million. It is only one step away from becoming a first-tier city.

There are two first-tier cities in Luzon Province. The other is Manila, which is an emerging industrial city with a population of 1800 million and an economic aggregate equal to that of Baguio City.

There are no troops stationed on the main island of Luzon, and the army is mainly stationed on Princess Island.

Princess Island is also the residence of the Luzon Navy Yamen.

The long Princess Island connects Luzon and Borneo, threatening the entire Sulu Sea.

In the past two years, Princess Island has been valued by the Luzon Governor due to its geographical advantages and has invested in its construction. Now it has become a major island of heavy industry.

After Zhu Youxuan received supplies in Panganiban, the fleet entered the waters of Song Dynasty.

In the 30th year of Jingtai's reign, the central government announced that all vassal states should divide their territorial waters and divide them into 30 kilometers of sea area, and the area beyond kilometers of land should be divided into high seas.

Some bays and straits need to be well divided.

For example, Xiguo and Songguo had island disputes.

Xi Wang Zhu Jiansi, his fiefdom is in Sulawesi.

Originally, the three islands in the Maguru Sea were granted to the vassal kings in the clan. They were all decided at the beginning. However, after King Xi succeeded to vassal Sulawesi, he regretted it. He felt that Sulawesi was small, broken, and perennial. There is volcanic activity.

I have to ask for the islands in the Maguru Sea.

This incident caused great dissatisfaction in the clan at the time, and even the old emperor scolded Zhu Jiansi.

Zhu Jiansi was a mess at first.

He is the twelfth eldest child. His mother is a beautiful woman. He has been naughty and mischievous since he was a child.

Even the old emperor had a headache looking at him.

In the end, the islands in the Magulu Sea could only be divided into Xiguo.

After he made a fuss, Wang Zhu saw that he quit and followed the old emperor to ask for East Timor.

As for East Timor, Zhu Jiansi also wants it.

Xiguo and Queguo almost went to war.

The old emperor sent envoys to give each of his envoys thirty whips before the two countries were finally at peace.

East Timor belongs to the Kingdom of Que.

The two countries are not allowed to go to war.

There is an island between Magulu and Song State, and Song State and Xi State also had disputes over this island.

According to the island framework, it should belong to Xiguo.

But Song Wang Zhu Jianyi insisted on asking for it.

The two countries were at loggerheads.

Song State and Que State also have an island dispute. A small island in East Timor is closer to New Guinea, but Que State also wants it.

The three countries were in trouble because of the island dispute.

But after King Xi and King Que received thirty whips, they did not dare to mess around anymore.

Zhu Youxuan's treasure ship landed in Suolong.

Judging from the map, this island is vast in area, almost the same as Borneo, with an area of ​​78.5 square kilometers, about 2400 kilometers long from east to west, and 640 kilometers wide in the middle.

The central part is a plateau terrain with an altitude of more than 4000 meters and is full of rivers, lakes and swamps, especially the most swamps.

When King Song first came to succeed the vassal, the natives here were still primitive people.

It was he and Akito who filled up the swamps, reclaimed farmland bit by bit, and gradually made this uninhabitable island on the equator livable.

Over the years, the indigenous people have been cleared away bit by bit.

The King of Song encouraged childbearing, and the population gradually increased. By the 1.2th year of Jingtai, the population of Song had reached million.

This giant island can have sufficient strategic depth.

It stands to reason that as long as the Song Dynasty remains an island country, its life will be very comfortable, and its population may reach 200 million in the future.

However, Zhu Jianyi, who was named King of Song Dynasty, obviously had a restless temper.

He is the eighth son of the emperor, the eldest son of the old emperor.

He is also fifty-four years old this year.

The first half of his life was wasted on cultivating the emperor. The second half of his life, he wanted to make some achievements.

The Song State owned the entire island of New Guinea, but the islands extending out of the Bismarck Sea did not belong to the Song State.

King Song wanted to get this piece at first.

Later, he was reported to the central government by the clan king. The King of Song was scolded by the emperor and turned around. He had disputes with the opposite country Chengguo over St. Paul Island, and there were also island disputes with Hexiguo and Queguo.

Anyway, he was setting fires everywhere.

There is no way to put out the fire.

King Cheng could not tolerate him and wanted to raise troops to attack the Song Dynasty several times.

As long as the old emperor is still alive, the countries have not yet started to fight. Otherwise, if Oceania had not started fighting, the three Australian kings would have to unite to destroy the Song Dynasty first.

Among the five kings of Oceania, King Song loved to stir up trouble.

The capital of the Song Dynasty was located in Boluodigel County, called Yanjing.

Zhu Jianyi said that he was a fire virtue, so he called the capital Yanjing.

This is transgression.

Which vassal king dares to call the capital of his country Beijing? King Song made it clear that he no longer pretended and had a showdown.

But King Song was not useless.

After the Ming Dynasty opened the railway, he immediately invited Ming Dynasty engineers to come to the Song Dynasty to repair the railway, learn the corresponding technology, and also followed suit to reform the steam engine.

Song was the first country in Oceania to build factories and embark on industrialization.

The Song Dynasty had engaged in planting industry before, and the agarwood produced in the Song Dynasty was the best quality agarwood in the world. This New Guinea island was called Agarwood Island in the Song Dynasty.

Because of its geographical advantage on the equator, the Song Dynasty had been developing tropical plant plantations and raising pets, such as kangaroos, various birds, and fish, to the northern countries.

Most of the birds played in the Ming Dynasty were imported from the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty had a good way of raising animals.

Plantations and grain bases were also the lifeline of the Song Dynasty.

By the 64th year of Jingtai, all railways had been built throughout the Song Dynasty. On both sides of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty court spent huge sums of money to build two industrial cities.

In addition to lighting fires everywhere, the King of Song Dynasty was also a stubborn man and liked porcelain.

He just wanted to get the recipe for firing porcelain.

But Ming Dynasty has extremely strict control over these formulas, and it is absolutely impossible to disclose them to him.

He sent people to steal it.

I sent waves of people, and I got part of the formula. In Yanjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, there was an official kiln where porcelain was being fired.

The Song Dynasty did not worry about the problem of craftsmen, so the Song Dynasty spent huge sums of money to recruit people in the Ming Dynasty.

In one fell swoop, they hired all the craftsmen from the official kilns.

Even if these people are not allowed to leave the country.

But it all depends on people, there is always a way to get them out.

The old emperor didn't know it yet, but his own son had stolen the Ming porcelain formula.

By the 60th year of Jingtai, porcelain had been fired in the Song Dynasty.
