Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 430: No one in Lao Zhu’s family is good
Zhu Jianji didn't serve the soup for seven days.

He did not go to the Yangxin Hall because he was too busy with government affairs, and he also stopped riding horses for a few days because "the government was too busy."

In fact, I spend every day in the palace in a daze.

Liu Daxia ascended to the position of chief minister as he wished, and all government affairs were returned to the cabinet. Even though Zhu Jianji, the prince, was in charge of the government, he had no real name but this name. If the old emperor said he could take it back, he could take it back.

Therefore, he has not yet decided how to deal with his relationship with his father.

This emperor on horseback encountered the biggest problem in his life.

At this time, good news came from the Shang State. The Shang State defeated the Lu State and captured King Lu.

Zhu Jianyan was stunned. His fourth child was so weak?
The State of Lu, a powerful vassal state in Eastern Europe, was defeated by Zhu Youquan?
This starts with the Lu State's embezzlement of the Shang State's population and land last year.

The territory of the State of Lu was not small, but its population was very small, so the State of Lu did not kill foreigners. After Zhu Youquan succeeded as emperor of the Shang State, he took the opportunity to push the territory southward, annexing the area south of the Dnieper River, and absorbing the foreigners of the Shang State. , beat Shang Guo to his knees and begged for mercy.

The four kingdoms of Zhao, Lu, Sui and Qi joined forces to annex the territory of Shang State.

Zhu Youquan signed an alliance under the city, but was unable to regain the lost territory, which made him a laughing stock. Later, he issued a massacre order to kill the foreigners in the Shang Kingdom.

In fact, they were not killed, but driven to the four countries.

The State of Lu aggressively absorbed white people.

The State of Lu originally had a population of only six million. After excessive absorption, the white population exceeded the Han population, resulting in an imbalance in the domestic population ratio.

In order to quickly pacify the white people, Zhu Youxi, the king of Lu, gave the white people authority.

At the end of the sixty-sixth year of Jingtai, because of the massacre of Bailing by the Shang State, the four countries formed a coalition to attack the Shang State and asked the King of Shang to give an explanation.

The Lu State fought the hardest, crossing the Dnieper River and taking away Crimea from the Shang State.

Because white people worked hard in the war, King Lu also promoted white people on a large scale. Suddenly, all the lower-level officers in the army became white.

The Shang State could not withstand the attack from the four countries, so Zhu Youqi signed another alliance under the city.

Agree to use the occupied areas as boundaries to re-divide the territories of the four countries.

At this time, King Lu made his first fatal mistake, which was to use newly promoted generals to guard the new land.

King Lu led his troops back to Luan.

However, as soon as King Lu returned to the capital, and before his butt was hot, news of the rebellion in Dongfang Xintu came. The new officers were bribed by the Shang State, defected to the Lu State, and surrendered to the Shang State.

Zhu Youxi was furious and led his army to march eastward.

The war was quickly settled, and this time his son was left to take charge of the new land.

As a result, just after he returned to Beijing, his son was proclaimed emperor by the guarding general and rebelled again.

At this time, Zhu Youping made his second mistake. Instead of finding out the cause of the rebellion, he once again spent a lot of time on his own expedition.

After four personal expeditions, the State of Lu was already exhausted, and its finances could no longer support a war of this scale.

If King Lu had not been carried away by anger, he should have given up the new land and just rebelled. It would not be too late to wait until Lu State regained its strength and resume the war.

Moreover, he did not find the cause of the rebellion because the lower-level officers were all white, and the conflict between the whites and the whites had existed for a long time.

Now that Han people are the generals, if the Han generals want to conquer the white people, they must continue to reward them with benefits, but the white people are afraid of being killed. They don't trust the Han people at all. When these generals reward them, they think they will be killed because The Han people slaughtered them more than once.

Moreover, the Han people were not satisfied either, so why should they reward these dog slaves?

The top and bottom are dissatisfied, and people's hearts are in chaos.

No matter who is in charge, there will be rebellion.

The root of the problem is population proportions.

But King Lu was just angry. He marched eastward, defeated the rebel army, and regained the lost territory. He killed everyone who deserved to be killed. His son was also unlucky, being delayed by the rebels.

It has to be said that all of Zhu Jianjian's sons are generals.

This time King Lu learned his lesson and did not return immediately. Instead, he personally guarded Luan for a month before returning.

As a result, the third rebellion broke out just after he left.

King Lu was forced to launch his fifth personal expedition. However, on the way to the Eastern Expedition, rebellions broke out on many borders in the country, and war broke out in Lu.

The essence is still the contradiction between Han and White. In the past, there were enough Han people, and white people were oppressed. Now, the number of white people far exceeds that of Han people, and they will definitely rebel.

However, a little rebellion could not stop Zhu Youyu.

He put down the rebellion step by step.

However, a rebellion broke out in the imperial capital. This time it was a Han rebellion. There was a conflict between Han and White people. The white people rebelled, so why didn't we Han people rebel?

This time things are serious.

The emerging Lu State was full of rebellions.

The key is that the basic Han people are rebelling, which shows that there is something wrong with Lu's national policy.

Zhu Youxi didn't care yet. He was extremely confident in his military talents. The King of Lu's army under his command was also the most elite army in the world. With this army in hand, it would be a matter of time to put down the rebellion in the world.

At this time, the Sui Kingdom suddenly attacked Crimea and sent a fleet to cruise on the northern shore of the Black Sea, threatening Zhu Youping's elite.

Zhu Youping made the third mistake, which is also the most fatal mistake.

He gave up the rebel forces that were about to be defeated, leaving only a partial force to besiege the city, while he led the main force to retake Crimea.

At the same time, troops were constantly divided to put down the rebellion.

Zhu Youyi's military talent is truly dazzling. He defeated the famous Sui generals and recaptured the Crimean Peninsula. As a super super fire extinguisher, Zhu Youyi worked non-stop to pacify the rebels in the north of Crimea. He was unstoppable along the way.

At this time, the partial force he left to guard the east was eaten by the rebels, turning Crimea into an isolated island.

Zhu Youping didn't care. He didn't take the mere rebels seriously.

He was angry at Sui Guo for stabbing him, so he had to give Sui Guo a pain so that Sui Guo would be honest in the future.

He divided his troops again, and went all the way into the hinterland of the Sui State to cause trouble to the Sui State. He led the main force to attack the rebels and open the way back to Beijing.

However, he was leading men. Even after two months of hard fighting, even an elite soldier would collapse. Moreover, his home was stolen, and he didn’t know whether the family members were alive or dead. Before, everyone was working together to get home. .

But their king, who beat this and retaliates against that, never mentioned going home.

As they waited, their mentality collapsed.

However, Zhu Youping won every victory on the battlefield without a single defeat. Therefore, although the morale of the army was wailing, it did not collapse.

The famous general of the Sui Dynasty was beaten by Zhu Youcheng until he ran away with his head in his arms.

After Zhu Youxi became the king of the Lu Kingdom, he never lost a battle. His reputation as the undefeated God of War was definitely not in vain.

At this time, a secret fleet came from the source of the Dnieper River, secretly penetrated into the hinterland of the Lu Kingdom and entered the Black Sea.

Landing quietly on the Crimean Peninsula, quietly appeared behind Zhu Youping.

The troops led by Zhu Youxi were the elite among the elites of the Lu State. Even if they were exhausted, they would not be able to defeat them in one blow.

Indeed, the first sneak attack battle did not go smoothly. Zhu Youping discovered in advance that there was an enemy behind him. He remained silent, but waited for the enemy to get into his trap.

The mysterious fleet sent by Shang State failed to attack.

However, the fleet of the Shang State, the army of the Sui State, and the rebels surrounded Zhu Youxuan.

If the morale of the army is not chaotic, Zhu Youping can wait for the opportunity and defeat him with one blow.

But the most elite army of Lu State has been fighting for three months, and it is being made dumplings again. It is inevitable that people will be confused.

At this time, the Shang State and the Sui State continued to increase their troops here and surrounded Zhu You tightly.

The news that King Sanbulu had been captured in the Kingdom of Lu made the already chaotic Lu Kingdom worse, with rebels rising one after another.

Tens of millions of white people rebelled and became self-reliant. Not to be outdone, the Han people also began to rebel and attack each other. The state of Lu fell into chaos.

Prince Zhu Houhuan of King Lu took advantage of the chaos to ascend the throne and was supported by the courtiers. He announced that King Lu had died in battle and sent troops to quell the rebellion.

on the Crimean peninsula.

The armies of the Shang and Sui dynasties continued to spread news from time to time to the Lu army, disrupting their morale.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the Lu soldiers were panicked and had no fighting spirit.

At this time, Zhu Youping made the biggest mistake in his life.

He did not break out, but tried to be patient with the troops that besieged him. He believed that if he found an opportunity, he could turn defeat into victory.

As long as he was willing to break through, he would definitely be able to break out, but he didn't. He chose to regain face on the battlefield. He was confident enough in his military talents.

Because, when he besieged the Muscovite Khanate, he was trapped by the Muscovite Khanate's army for four full years, but in the end he turned defeat into victory.

But he forgot that the emperor was his father at that time, and whether he died or not would not determine the outcome of the war.

He is now the emperor, the emperor whom the people of Lu want. If he disappears at this time, wouldn't it confirm the rumors that he died in the war? People's hearts will become more and more chaotic, and it will be difficult to recover in the end.

Moreover, if he doesn't break through, what will the generals below think? They don't want to die with an emperor.

When people were already in panic, Zhu Youping made the most wrong decision and defended the city.

The Shang State accelerated its siege.

In only fifteen days, one of the most elite armies in Eastern Europe was captured by the Shang army. King Lu was captured by his generals and dedicated to the Shang state.

One of the bravest troops in the world has been lost in history.

Moreover, the powerful King Lu became a prisoner.

When he was escorted to Moscow, he didn't even understand why he was defeated. So what if he was besieged? He had been besieged for four years at the longest, but didn't he come back in the end?

His troops are well-prepared, so what are the soldiers and civilians worried about?

And the most social moment happened.

Zhu Youping, King of Lu, was the fourth son of Zhu Jianji.

Met Zhu Youqi, Zhu Jianqi's eldest son.

Zhu Jianqi and Zhu Jianji changed their fates, and so did the fates of their descendants.

When Zhu Youquan first ascended the throne of the Shang Kingdom, internal and external troubles were like a dead game. However, in just two years, the dead game turned around.

The one who relied on him was Zhu Jianjian's good son, the military genius Zhu Youping.

I have to admit that Zhu Youping was really good at fighting. He fought in the north and south and was never defeated.

Those rebels were like paper in his hands.

But so what, he can fight, but he doesn't understand politics, let alone how to be a good emperor.

Zhu Youqu's military talent is average, but he knows how to be the emperor of a country.

He can sign alliances under the city again and again.

He can show weakness again and again and constantly give way to the circle.

He will endure it.

So he wins.

When the news reached the Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianji was completely confused: "This unlucky bastard has brought shame on me."

In the past, he took away the throne that belonged to the eldest son, and he still felt guilty.

But now, seeing this memorial, he felt like eating shit.

Might as well eat shit.

Only now do we realize that his throne is a huge pit, and whoever squats on it will suffer from constipation.

And Zhu Youqi's good news was a slap in the face no matter how he looked at it.

Zhu Jianzhen now has no one to talk to if he wants to discuss it.

His eldest son was not close to him in the first place.

He is different from the old emperor. The old emperor is pretending to take advantage. He is using Chi Guoguo, the kind of use that everyone can see.

So Zhu Youyi had a very bad relationship with him.

If you tell him what is in your heart, Zhu Youyi will definitely laugh to death.

Knowing his weakness, Zhu Youyi will immediately unite the courtiers to deal with him without hesitation.

Only now did Zhu Jianji know what it felt like to be depressed, what it felt like to be betrayed and separated from family members.

He thought he had everything, but in fact he had nothing.

It's the same principle as Zhu Youbing's defeat. You always think you are very powerful, but in fact you are standing on a towering tree. If the tree doesn't let you stand, you are just an ordinary person.

And that big tree is the old emperor.

Like Zhu Jianzhen, there is also Zhu Youping who is enlightening.

Zhu Youqu killed people and punished people. Everything that happened in the Lu country would be written on paper and sent to him.

Zhu Youxi is huddled in the room now, his eyes are dull. He has not washed himself for seven or eight days. When the food is served, he will not take a bite unless he is extremely hungry.

He always thought he was a good emperor, but now it turns out that he has failed as a human being.

His son, Zhu Houhuan, firmly refused to acknowledge the news that King Lu had been captured, insisting that King Lu died in battle on the Crimean Peninsula.

Even if Shang State released the photo, Lu State said it was fake.

Zhu Houhuan has no intention of bringing his military god father back to China. People who enjoy power will not spit it out again.

In fact, what broke him the most was that he was captured by his confidant general and dedicated to the Shang Kingdom.

Only when his trusted general spit in his face did he realize how much he was hated.

Not one person spits on him, but everyone spits on him.

He, the Emperor of Lu, really failed.

He just stood on the shoulders of his father Zhu Jianjian and showed his military talent. In fact, there were many famous generals like him among the people, but they did not have the opportunity to show their talents.

Yu Qian once said that there is nothing difficult about fighting.

As long as the emperor trusts you and gives you enough supplies, you can fight at will. It doesn't matter if you fail, just try again.

Because you have thousands of troops to experiment with, and you have the opportunity to make mistakes. If you make a mistake this time, you can still lead the troops to fight next time.

This is the reason for success.

It's not that who is born to be a famous general. Whoever has the power to command the army can become a famous general. It just depends on how many times the emperor can tolerate your defeat.

Only now did Zhu Youxi realize that he was not a genius, he was just a stage given by his father to display his talents, and his subordinates did not dare to disobey him.

He was victorious time and time again, so why did his subordinates disobey him?
He expanded his territory, but his subordinates were still dissatisfied with him?

Because he doesn't understand politics.

He is a famous general, but he will not be a good emperor.

At this moment, Zhu Youquan officially took control of the Shang State. Taking advantage of the general trend, he formed an alliance with the Sui State and sent his army westward to attack the hinterland of the Lu State.

The Dnieper River was crossed with almost no effort, and Lu was defeated one after another.

In the court, Zhu Youquan integrated the court, eliminated dissidents, replaced all his close associates, and completely controlled the court situation.

Moreover, taking advantage of the successive victories on the battlefield, he began to control the military power of the Shang Kingdom.

at the same time.

In the name of revenge for his brother, King Zhao Zhu Youchen used the Lu State to attack the Shang State. The Lu State would definitely not agree to the use of the road, but King Zhao didn't care about that and used the road forcefully to carve up the Lu State.

That's right, King Zhao was not attacking the Shang State at all, but the Lu State. He still claimed to be helping the Lu State to suppress the rebellion, but in fact he had no intention of spitting out the territory.

The territory of Lu State shrank rapidly.

The three great powers of Shang, Sui, and Zhao were attacking each other, and it would be difficult for anyone to replace them.

But King Zhao was indeed seeking revenge. He attacked a city, beheaded all the rebels, and issued a massacre order.

He vented his hatred on white people, believing that white people killed his brother.

Killing and killing, we are about to enter the capital of King Lu.

Zhu Houhuan was stunned. How could he lose so quickly?

He quickly sent envoys to cry and beg Uncle King Zhao to save him.

King Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to him. What could he say to such an unfilial son? Well, he was just greedy for the land of Lu.

His father was biased and gave the best land to his son. He, the third youngest, suffered the most, with bad land on the Baltic Sea, a piece of Polish land, and a border with Germany.

He was good at fighting, so his father gave him the most difficult mission in Eastern Europe.

He doesn't care. He has the ability to overthrow Germany and join Germany as emperor. However, he likes the Great Plains of Eastern Europe. What emperor would dislike the small territory.

As for the Great Plains of Eastern Europe, Zhu Youping himself has no way to play, and we are just grateful and not sensitive.

Within a few days, the allied forces of Shang and Sui also attacked the capital of King Lu. The three countries signed an agreement, and King Lu changed from a large vassal state to a small country.

The huge State of Lu was completely divided.

Zhao State gained the most and took over the entire territory of Belarus.

The Shang Kingdom took back the entire Cossack Khanate, but the Sui Kingdom claimed the Crimean Peninsula.

The peninsula was given to the Sui State, but the Sui State did not want other areas.

Because they are not bordering the Sui Kingdom.

The territory is demarcated.

The three countries also signed an agreement on the capital of King Lu.

The State of Lu is the protector of the Three Kingdoms. It is the border area of ​​Shang, Zhao and Qi. You cannot send troops to attack at will.

The four kingdoms of Shang, Sui, Zhao, and Lu jointly issued an order to massacre white people, prohibiting white people from entering politics, the military, and business.

The four countries use their existing borders as boundaries and are not allowed to attack within ten years.

The reason for the truce was that both Sui and Zhao needed time to digest their new territory, while Shang needed to consolidate its court.

As for the life and death of King Lu Zhu Youchen, no one cares, not even his brother Zhu Youchen. Who cares whether he lives or lives.

But Qi State, which was surrounded by Zhao State, was trembling.

The State of Qi has no depth, unlike the State of Cai next door. The State of Cai is covered by mountains. No matter how powerful the State of Zhao is, even if people retreat into the mountains, the State of Zhao cannot penetrate.

Qi State is not good, it is all a great plain.

It doesn't matter how many landmines are buried in this damn place.

It is too easy to clear mines in this era. There are so many people. Just arrest them and clear them. If it doesn't work, let the army clear the mines and clear them.

Therefore, Qi also wanted to participate in the King Lu Capital Agreement, but was rejected by Zhao.

It seems to be saying, Qi State is my meat, and I will eat you sooner or later.

As a result, this agreement is absolutely bullshit.

On their way back to the country, the Sui army was attacked by the Shang army. The famous generals of the Sui army were captured and tens of thousands of people were killed or injured.

Sui Wang Zhu Jianxi was so angry that he jumped on his feet.

However, the Shang army was attacking the Shang territory occupied by the Sui State.

The Shang State used white people to clear mines.

Even if the Sui Dynasty buried landmines from the Iranian plateau to Moscow, it would be useless because most of them were people.

The Sui army was suddenly attacked, and naturally retreated steadily. They gradually withdrew from the Mesopotamia and the Mesopotamia, and were even about to be driven back to the southern foot of the Caucasus Mountains. Fortunately, Baku was still there.

Sui State immediately declared war on Shang State.

The King of Shang issued a manifesto, arguing that this was originally the territory of the Shang State, and there was nothing wrong with the Shang State taking back its own territory.

Sui Guo was furious.

United with Wei State to attack Shang State.

The Wei State was actually quite bullying. It pushed its territory from the Ural Mountains to the Volga River and occupied Kazan, the eastern capital of the Shang State.

When Zhu Youqu regains his strength, he will definitely settle the score with him, and there will be a big battle between Shang and Wei.

However, Wei King Zhu Jianjun was unwilling to join forces with the Sui State. He would just sit back and watch the Shang State and the Sui State hurt each other. It would be great for him to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

After he digested the new land, he didn't even need Shang Guo to look for him. He took the initiative to overthrow Shang Guo.

Apart from the Ming Dynasty, Eurasia only needs one emperor, and that is Emperor Wei!

None of the emperors of these vassal states are trustworthy, they talk like farts, and I don’t know who taught them.

"Father, how should we approve the fourth brother's matter?" When Zhu Youyi heard that the fourth brother was arrested, he was also confused and a little happy at the same time. He claimed to be the most accomplished son of Zhu Jianji, but he ended up being a prisoner. I wanted to laugh.

"It's up to you." Zhu Jianzhen didn't want to mention this embarrassing incident.

"Why don't the central government issue an order to let King Shang let the fourth brother go and send the fourth brother back to the capital? What do you think?" Zhu Youyi didn't dare to do it. No matter how he handled this matter, he was always in a coquettish manner. benefit.

"Boss, aren't you afraid that your great-grandson will lose his position?"

Zhu Jianjian's tone was gloomy: "Don't play tricks on me, let that kid go back to the Lu Kingdom."

I knew this was what the old man had in mind.

He would never stand idly by, that was his favorite son.

But at this time, the central government received a memorial from Wei.

The above is a wonderful description of the battle to destroy Lu.

Zhu Youyi was dumbfounded. Isn't the youngest son too ruthless? He didn't even let his younger brother's feudal country go.

But that’s right, there is a son as a father, a brother as a brother, and you deserve it!

"Damn the unfilial son!"

After Zhu Jianzhen read the memorial, he jumped up in anger: "I can't even tolerate my brothers. Why didn't I see his ambition at the time? I should have pinched him to death!"

Zhu Youyi rolled his eyes wildly, "The little old man has become like this, isn't it the result of your hard work in painting the pie?"

The little old man is not a good person either.

However, it’s him who’s in pain.

The Kingdom of Lu is gone, and with his father's protective character, he will definitely send the fourth son back to the capital, which will definitely threaten his grandson's position.

He knows best the virtues of his younger brothers.

During this time, the old emperor underwent surgery, and he finally saw clearly the royal family's lineage of cold character.

When he was in the Shang Kingdom, Zhu Jianjian talked about his father's health all day long and cared about it every day, wishing that he would take care of his father's illness.

After returning to China, I went to see him every day.

However, when the old man decided to undergo surgery in an attempt to extend his life, Zhu Jianjun changed his mind. He stopped serving soup and medicine, stopped paying visits, and did not mention suffering for his father.

This guy has such a dark heart.

Comparing his feelings with his own, Zhu Youyi found that he was also quite evil. His eldest son, Zhu Houxing, had just returned to Beijing and was sent to the north for inspection without a full night's sleep.

Moreover, he received the information in advance about Shang Guo's sneak attack on Xiao Laosi, but he did not disclose it.

The old man is probably the only good person in the world, and he is the only one who truly loves his children and grandchildren.

There is no good person in Lao Zhu’s family.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Jianyan's eyes were sinister.

He finally understood why Zhu Jianqi went crazy.

He was going crazy too.

When will you become a prince like this?

Being criticized every day and unable to do what he wants to do, when will he ascend to the throne?

Zhu Youyi knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake again and again.

His father has been moody recently, maybe because he is going through menopause.

"Send someone to talk to King Shang about the conditions before he will be released and let the fourth child return to the capital." Zhu Jianjian needed help, and the fourth child, who was both civil and military, was his best helper.

However, he glanced at Zhu Youyi.

He will definitely kill the fourth child on the road, and he will send troops to protect the fourth child.

"Boss, I don't want my fourth son to be in trouble. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhu Jianjian was beating him.

"My son, I will never dare to kill my brother..."

Didn’t King Zhao just kill him? What can you, Zhu Jian, do?
Zhu Youyi didn't care in her heart. The little fourth should not have come here. It would be best to die on the road.

"Go away." Zhu Jianjian was suffocating in his heart. The fourth child really didn't want to give him face. He was caught by that bastard and had to come forward to redeem him. It was really embarrassing.

But he really lacks a capable person around him.

At this time, a eunuch came to deliver the order, and the old emperor ordered him to go there.

The old emperor recovered well after the operation, which shows that the operation was very successful. I can't say that he has extended his life by three or two years, but at least he is feeling much better.

He was in a good mood and ate more.

Zhu Jianji entered the palace and did a lot of psychological construction before he stepped into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart again.

"Fourth brother, my eyes feel uncomfortable."

"The imperial doctor said that my eyes can also be operated on. That is to add a magnifying glass to my eyeballs so that I can see things clearly."

"I have been half-blind for more than ten years. I was tired of reading memorials every day when I was young."

"Now that there is hope of regaining the light, I want to give it a try."

Zhu Qiyu discovered the wonderful effects of surgery and wanted to use surgery to completely renovate his body. He would change whatever he could, and paint what he couldn't.

Zhu Jianji felt sad.

I came back to be the emperor, not the prince.

You have already said that you are not good enough and are going to die, yet you are still pretending to be a cultivator. Die quickly. I have almost gone crazy waiting. It has been more than two years! You are still alive!
"Your Majesty, that's all. I have no objection." Zhu Jianyan felt that his blood pressure was high and he couldn't stand it anymore.

I'm almost sixty years old!
If I wait a little longer, how many years can I be the emperor?

At that moment, Zhu Jianjian really wanted to rush up, give the old emperor two punches, kill him directly, and he would immediately ascend the throne. How great would it be?

He now regrets endlessly. He should not have returned to the country and should not have been a prince.

How happy it is to be an Eastern European emperor.

"I knew that the fourth child would agree."

Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to guess what he was thinking. Since he was no longer pretending, he shouldn't pretend to be a loving father and pity son.

Forget about the royal family, which young person doesn’t hate the elderly? My father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother will all be despised when they get older. How can anyone not be despised?

What's more, like him, he just stayed on the throne and didn't move, driving the people below him crazy.

The longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Hongwu. Hongwu died in thirty-one years.

As for him, he ascended the throne at the age of twenty-two, is eighty-nine years old, has reigned for sixty-seven years, and is still alive! I still need surgery, and I still have to live in pain.

It's true that people hate dogs.

But who dares to say?
People in the world still have to support the old emperor and make him happy. His happiness is the most important thing for the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu himself does not feel that he is hated by others, he feels that he is loved by everyone.

"Go to the court and announce that the hospital will determine the time for the operation based on my body." Zhu Qiyu wanted to be young again. Being able to see things again was his dream.

"My son, I obey the order." Zhu Jianji was absent-minded.

The old emperor said a few more words to him and then sent him away.

"I feel young again."

Sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by the eunuch, I went out for a walk, looking at the flowers and plants, and my mood became more and more joyful.

Zhu Houyong set off from the capital.

Inspect places, first northeast and then northwest.

During his few days in the capital, he asked someone to polish his travel notes and then publish them.

It is governed by Hebei Province and is located in Zhending.

The real thing is Shijiazhuang.

The name Shijiazhuang mainly comes from Shimen City, which later became Shijiazhuang. It has a history of just over a hundred years.

This city is now called Zhending, but it was called Changshan during the Three Kingdoms period. Changshan, Zhao Zilong's Changshan, was previously called Hengshan.

Because of the taboo of Emperor Li Heng of the Tang Dynasty, he changed his name to Zhending.

It continues to this day.

The administration of Hebei Province is placed here, which is somewhat inconsistent.

Because Zhending does not have the geographical environment of a big city, nor is it the center of Hebei Province, it is still relatively far from the capital.

It was a bit confusing to choose this place for the governance of Hebei Province.

in fact.

When Hebei Province was first established, Baoding was the first choice.

But Baoding was too close to the capital, and it was sucked too hard. Almost all the population fled to the capital. As a result, Baoding should have been blessed with a unique environment, but in the end the population could not exceed 10 million.

Zhending is different. Zhending is relatively far from the capital and relatively close to Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi. The population can maintain neither increase nor decrease.

But the population is not large, only 7 million.

However, after the 65th year of Jingtai, the imperial court planned to vigorously develop Baiyangdian, which would serve as the main area for transferring the capital's population.

The population of Beizhili is too large and must be transferred to Hebei.

Baoding has become the focus of transfer. In the past two years, the imperial court has invested heavily in Baiyangdian, trying to build Baiyangdian into the first district in Hebei, and will become one of the top ten cities in the north in the future.

In fact, the court officials also thought of a bad idea, turning Baiyangdian into a district of the capital, so that the population could be transferred to Baiyangdian openly.

However, he was firmly opposed by the Chief Envoy of Hebei and even threatened to resign.

We in Hebei have suffered enough from being sucked. This time you are not only sucking, but also taking over our territory. Don’t even think about it.

Actually, this is a really good move.

Zhu Houying went directly to Rehe from the capital.

Rehe, sucked badly by Beizhili.

According to the central statistics of Rehe's population, there should be 1.1 million people in Rehe. In fact, the registered population is only 6000 million and the permanent population is 4700 million.

It is completely opposite to the size of Jehol Province.

Rehe is very vast. As the pasture of the Ming Dynasty, it is not poor. Prices in Rehe are not lower than those in the capital because the people here are rich.

Most of the brands of milk and meat products in Daming come from Rehe, followed by the northeast, and the northwest has the least brands.

Because Rehe is the area designated by the palace for meat to be brought into the palace as a tribute.

Meat in other regions does not receive this treatment.

So Rehe is the richest.

The Ming Dynasty planted huge forests in the eight prefectures of Rehe. To control the wind and sand in the capital, they first controlled the wind and sand in Rehe, and then controlled the wind and sand on the Mongolian plateau.

In the 16th year of Jingtai, Rehe implemented a rotation policy of banning grazing for ten years and lifting the ban for ten years.

The ban on grazing does not mean that raising animals is not allowed, but it prohibits grazing in the wild. It means that wild grazing is not allowed, but raising animals in captivity at home is allowed and pastures are normal.

During this period, the court would plant trees and grass on a large scale.

Artificially cultivated land.

The imperial court invests tens of millions of yuan every year to control desertification in Rehe and protect the soil and water of Rehe.

In the past few years, Jehol has regained its vitality.

Rehe is also a tourist province, where you can enjoy yurts, eat Mongolian food, horse riding, horse racing, wrestling and other sports.

The best place for grassland tourism is Rehe Province.

In the forty-third year of Jingtai, the old emperor built a summer resort in Chengde. On the surface it was a royal garden, but in fact no one from the royal family came.

In the 51st year of Jingtai, it was opened to the outside world.

It became a tourist attraction.

Rehe also moved a museum from the west to add a cultural flavor to Rehe.

In the fifty-fourth year of Jingtai, the imperial court built another library in Fengning, the largest library in the Ming Dynasty, housing the royal collection.

There are six royal libraries in total, one in the Forbidden City in Beijing, one in the Forbidden City in Nanjing, one in Bianjing, one in Chang'an, one in Fengning, and one in Changchun.

A copy of all the royal books will be copied and stored in the library.

The Royal Library is open to the public, with extremely strict opening hours, and books are not loaned out, only copied.

Therefore, the six libraries are overcrowded every day.

Scholars from all over the world would go to the Royal Library to copy books.

Fengning was chosen because the old emperor once wanted to move the government of Jehol Province to Fengning.

Compared with other big cities, Fengning is very inconspicuous.

In this small city with a population of only two million, tens of thousands of people flock in every day, get into the library, and borrow books.

All books in the royal collection will be copied into six copies and stored in six places.

How many books does the royal family have? According to statistics, there are about 700 million books, requiring thousands of rooms for display and storage.

Moreover, hundreds of thousands of copies are collected every year.

Fengning Library is a library composed of twelve tall buildings and has become a landmark building in Fengning.

In fact, the population transfer in the capital mainly involves the transfer of population to Baiyangdian, Chengde, Fengning, and Shenyang.

Zhu Houying stopped briefly in Fengning and then headed east to Liaoning.

Liaoning is so close to the capital, but it is a province that has not been seriously sucked by the capital.

As of the 1.7th year of Jingtai's reign, Liaoning's population was 1.5 million, and its permanent population was about million.

Shenyang, known as the largest city in Northeast China, has a population of about 3700 million.

The reason why I was not sucked was due to two factors.

The imperial court once selected cities in Liaoning to build Buddhist capitals, and devout believers from all over the world would come to the Buddhist capitals to worship.

The second is the policy tilt of the court.

After industrialization began, the imperial court intended to build the six northeastern provinces into heavy industrial bases. As the two wings of the capital, the imperial court could not overemphasize.

After arriving in Shenyang, Zhu Houying learned about it in detail.

It’s not that Liaoning hasn’t been sucked in, it’s that Liaoning has a population replenishment from Jilin and Heilongjiang, so it seems like it hasn’t been sucked in, but in fact it’s still sucked in a lot.

Just like Shenyang, people who spoke Shenyang dialect thirty years ago, but in the past two years, people who speak Jilin and Heilongjiang dialects have not changed. The population has not changed, but the people have changed.

In northern Zhili, there are obviously many more people speaking Northeastern dialect.

When looking at Northeast China, we cannot just look at one province.

Liaoning is still prosperous. Just look at Jilin and Heilongjiang. There is a net outflow of population from these two provinces.

Jilin has a net population of 1.1 million, but its permanent population is only million.

Heilongjiang has a net population of 1.9 million, but its permanent population is only 1.4 million.

This statistic is not accurate.

Because during the statistics, some people were counted as permanent residents before they went to work.

People are mobile, and the statistics are only approximate.

The chief envoy of Liaoning said that the population loss in Northeast China is extremely serious.

The old emperor attached great importance to the Northeast.

The food from the two provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin, which supplies the entire north, is the top priority of the imperial court.

Forty years after Jingtai, the old emperor built the three northeastern provinces into a heavy industrial base. Over the years, investment has continued every year.

However, Northeast China just can’t get up.

There are many reasons, such as not being able to invest in Shanhaiguan, descendants of bearded men, being harsh and difficult to get along with, corrupt officials, bureaucracy, etc.

But these are not core factors.

Ultimately, it’s the climate factor.

Winter is long and summer is short.

Why did the old emperor choose Northeast China as a heavy industrial base?

Because it produces minerals and grain.

Just build a factory nearby.

But in the Northeast, due to climate factors, thousands of miles of ice freeze in the winter. It is uncivilized for most of the year and cannot work, which is equivalent to five months of work and seven months of rest.

Some factories would rather transport resources out and work in Shandong than in Northeast China.

If the temperature in the Northeast rises by five degrees.

Then it's completely different.

In the Northeast, summer is extended by two months, winter is shortened by two months, and the winter temperature rises by five degrees, then the temperature becomes that of Hebei, which is full of advantages.

Why are factories concentrated in the south? Because the working hours are long.

The temperature in Northeast China has become Hebei, and working hours can be extended. There is no need to work for half a year and take half a year off. In that case, the factory will lose money.

The imperial court invests in state-owned enterprises regardless of costs or profits.

This is the national strategic layout.

But capital needs to make money, and only when the climate problem is solved can we invest in Northeast China.

Therefore, the people of Northeast China are very supportive of raising the northern mountains.

No one likes to stay in this bitter cold place.

No one is born a slacker, no one is born a bastard, as long as there is a job to do and a good life, everyone is willing to be a good person.

The Northeast is also the coldest region at the same latitude in the world. For example, the Canadian region in the Americas is much warmer than the Northeast and has a higher latitude than the Northeast.

Therefore, the people in the Northeast applauded the efforts to raise the northern mountains.

In the entire Northeast, there are only three cities with a population of more than 30 million, Shenyang, Harbin, and Seoul.

There are five cities with a population of more than 20 million, namely Changchun, Dalian, Pyongyang, Busan and Vladivostok.

There are many cities with a population of over 10 million, and the most powerful among them is Daqing.

In the 57th year of Jingtai's reign, the Daqing oil was discovered. The imperial court originally intended not to exploit it, but after exploration, it was discovered that the reserves were huge.

After all, in the 61st year of Jingtai, the imperial court was reluctant to leave resources idle and began to exploit Daqing oil.

Daqing was built overnight from a city that was not even on the map, and then the population gathered year after year. By the 67th year of Jingtai, it had become a city with a population of tens of millions.

Moreover, it is the richest among cities with a population of tens of millions.

Zhu Houying is going to visit Dalian.

The city of Dalian was built by Zhu Jianhu himself, when he was sent to supervise Liaoning.

It took him three years to build Dalian and make it the most prosperous city in the Northeast and even one of the most prosperous cities in the North.

However, when the two bays are filled up and Dalian is no longer on the coast, the city will surely decline.

In the past two years, the prefect of Dalian has used the sentimental card to attract countless tourists to travel to the Bohai Bay city. In the future, they will no longer be able to see it and take one less look.

The number of tourists it attracts every day seriously slows down the construction progress.

The center does not care about this, but supports it.

Make money, leave other things behind.

Throughout the Bohai Bay City, there are thousands of cameras every day, taking pictures day and night, sealing these out-of-print photos forever.

Several museums will be built in the future to attract tourists.

Zhu Houyong also came to join in the fun, but found that all he saw were the backs of people's heads, and he couldn't see anything. There must be too many tourists.
