Villager of Daming

Chapter 1263: The Steps Are Paved Without Fighting

Gegehaji's eyes widened and he looked at Ling'er in great confusion.

She wondered, her power was given by her brother, who gave Ling'er the power? She could actually ask His Majesty and the Crown Princess to help sell things.

How could the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty be used like this? Doesn't the Crown Princess have a son? A mother is honored by her son, who dares to look down on her?

Gege Haji ate a wonton, which was indeed delicious. After all, he couldn't help but asked, "Sister Ling'er, should the names of His Majesty and the Crown Princess not be used?"

"Ah?" Ling'er looked up and quickly swallowed the wontons. Actually, she swallowed the wontons, and she shuddered. She touched the line of her esophagus before she came to her senses.

“Your Majesty and the Crown Princess’ sister-in-law do eat dried shrimps, especially my sister-in-law, the dried shrimps she eats are the best.

There is also the very funny grandson Zhu Xiongying, who is very clingy and wants you to take him out to play as soon as he sees you.

My sister-in-law gave birth to another princess. I went back to hold her in my arms. She said the baby’s eyes were so big that they seemed to be able to speak.

I designed the place for the princess to play, and when I got back I had someone build it according to the blueprint.

It’s no worse than Zhu Xiongying’s amusement park. All little girls can go there in the future.

The survival and activity areas of shrimps like shrimp paste limit the fishing of normal fishermen, and our officials make the most money..."

Ling'er first talked about the Crown Princess's children. The second child was a girl, and everyone was very happy.

If there is a boy in the future, the age gap between him and Zhu Xiongying will be larger, so as to consolidate Zhu Xiongying's position as the eldest grandson of the emperor.

If the second child is also a boy, I would probably have other thoughts.

Because they are trained in elite mode, the second one will not submit to the eldest one.

When the crown prince succeeds to the throne and another crown prince is appointed, if the second son is a boy, he will have some thoughts, and some ministers with related interests will also have some ideas.

Ministers would divide the imperial power by supporting different people, and this was especially true during times of peace and prosperity.

When civil and military officials found that there were no external enemies, they naturally began to fight among themselves for power and profit.

At this time, the generals have to find ways to attack others, no matter how far away they are. Just attack them. Otherwise, how can they consolidate their position?

Civil officials considered their own voice, revitalizing their families, and training their children to serve as officials in the court.

Everyone is training, it just depends on who is chosen to sit on the throne. A new emperor chooses new ministers!
The people on Nahachu's side didn't know what Ling'er was thinking, or rather what the people of Xiaqiu Village were thinking. They once again confirmed the status of Xiaqiu Village in the Ming Dynasty from Ling'er's words.

It turns out that the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying has such a good relationship with Ling'er, the type that would hug each other whenever they meet?
"Your Highness, does the emperor's grandson usually go to Xiaqiu Village to play?" Gege Haji asked Zhu Chong during a break from eating wontons.

"I can stay in Xiaqiu Village for at least half a month a month. Unless there are special circumstances, I have to go to Xiaqiu Village during the day.

Xiaqiu Village has an amusement park built specifically for Xiongying. Not only children, but adults also like to play there.

For example, it is quite interesting to sit on the small train and stare blankly as it goes around and around.

When we get back, I'll take you to play. There are cars on the ground and also cars on stands.

It was cold then, just right for you to feel the heating. It was more than ten or twenty degrees below zero outside, and more than thirty degrees in the room. You had to open the windows for ventilation, otherwise it would be hot.

The weather in Yingtian Prefecture is always changing. In warm years, it is just freezing in winter, unless it is very cold in the mountains.

The temperature drops by six degrees for every thousand meters of altitude increase. The higher you go, the colder it gets, regardless of the location.

Therefore, cotton-padded clothes are prepared for wearing and taking off on the hot air balloon. In case the balloon needs to be released and rise to find the wind direction, thick clothes must be put on.

The county annals record that the section of the Yangtze River in Yingtianfu was once frozen over! God knows how cold it was.

It snowed heavily last year, but thanks to the experts from Xiaqiu Village who were always prepared...” Zhu Chong was not in a hurry to eat the wontons. After eating the wontons, he had to wait for the horses to recover and for others to load the horses with food.

He talked to Gege Haji about the climate in Yingtian Prefecture. It was never too cold, for example, it could reach minus thirty degrees Celsius.

That would be considered a disaster, and the experts in Xiaqiu Village would inform us in advance so that we can take precautions.

The pickled mustard tuber in the wonton bowl is grown in the flood-stricken areas of Sichuan. The yield is high and it is more cost-effective than growing grain.

There is no need to worry about the lack of food over there, as there are plains there.

As soon as Zhu Chong said this, the people on Nahachu's side stopped and listened again. They really had no idea what the master of Xiaqiu Village had done.

To be precise, they didn't know whether the rumors were true or not. What they heard seemed unreal, and the more they spread the rumors, the more mysterious they became.

Now I suddenly realized that Xiaqiu Village’s status is due to the masters!

If there were no experts who repeatedly informed in advance which places would be affected by what kind of disasters, the Ming Dynasty would simply not be able to stabilize its logistics.

……

"Sister, have you found the expert from Xiaqiu Village? According to them, he is in this team."

As everyone continued on their journey, the road ahead became easier to walk on. Nahachu rode his horse and talked in a low voice to his sister.

Gegehaji shook his head blankly: "I can't find it. It seems like it's not one of them. Could it be hidden in a box? Can it shrink its bones?
Don't think too much, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, oh, our Majesty hasn't been found, why should we look for him? What if we find him?
His heart is not with us anymore, otherwise he would have many ways to find our royal family and assist them."

"Let's go! At least we have a way to survive. We don't know what to do with Qiqili."

Naha had a headache and gave up other ideas.

The team was marching towards Nahachu's base, and every day they would receive calls from people over there telling them about Qiqili's arrangements.

Then every day we send messages to the five hundred guards of the palace, and the two sides verify each other.

In a blink of an eye, the team was only a day's journey away from Nahachu's base camp, and more and more people were traveling from there to this side.

There were many officials in Nahachu's base camp, officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who hid here. They held high positions but had little real power, and the military power was not in their hands.

What’s more, the real Northern Yuan emperor had fled and no one knew where he went, so he could not be contacted at all.

The team stopped to rest.

Nahachu's people had no weapons left, so every time someone came over there, they would be kept back and someone else would be sent back.

In order to prevent them from knowing the situation, the people sent were all Nahachu's personal soldiers, who were from the same family as him.

"Village head, General Xu, will they notice? Some people are not on my side."

While waiting for lunch, Nahachu asked about the situation. He wanted to know what arrangements the Ming army had made.

The village head said calmly: "We should arrange the layout in a way that everyone can work together, transfer out the troops that we are not sure about, and once the general is captured, everything else will be easy.

In fact, it's okay to just go there, but if you need to use force, you will end up hurting your own people.

The city you built can't stop people at all, and the city walls can be blown up at any time.

Or we can use ladders to go up, use mortars to block the reinforcements from the top of the city, and knock out the people on the top of the city. After we go up, we will have captured the city wall."

The head of the village came up with an idea, Hanhan said, try not to fight, to give those generals a way out. They were deceived and captured, so there was no choice but to surrender, no, surrender!
