The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 396
"Where is the prince, where did the prince go, the big thing is not good, Peking is rebelling."

An officer came running up on horseback.

The prince is not in the palace.

Henan.

King Zhou and a dozen of his staff were actually playing with herbs in the countryside, and the staff around him were also different from other palaces.

These staff members are all "agricultural experts" invited by King Zhou from all over the Ming Dynasty.

The medicinal properties of each herbal medicine and the effect of using them together are the results of the research conducted by King Zhou and these people.

King Zhou was very happy.

The father didn't care about him anymore, and let him do what he liked to do in Henan, and he no longer pursued what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted.

"The people are suffering."

The king of Zhou said pitifully, looking at a plant in his hand, the garden garden was full of mountains and plains, and they were planted in sequence.

"It is really a blessing for the people to have such a loving prince on their heads." The staff said sincerely.

At least in this day and age, people think so.

"In the past, this king grew up in the imperial city and didn't know the sufferings of the world. In fact, this king has no great ambitions. He is not as good as the eldest brother, nor can he be compared to the second, third, and fourth brothers."

King Zhou is very honest, and he is the most honest and responsible of Zhu Yuanzhang's five eldest sons.

"This king has been homesick since he was the queen of the feudal clan. I really thought about it so hard that I couldn't help running back to my hometown to have a look. I didn't expect my father to be so angry."

King Zhou couldn't help sighing, "I was dispatched to Yunnan because of this. I didn't expect the people in Yunnan to suffer even more. Yunnan's planting methods are backward, and it is a land of smog."

"People can't get enough to eat, so they often eat tree roots and weeds and vegetables, but many plants in the wild are poisonous, and the people's information is blocked and they can't identify them."

"They often get sick. When they get sick, they can only pray to God and Buddha. There is no herbal medicine to heal them."

"Since then, this king has vowed to study all the plants in the world, and let the people know which plants in the wild are edible, which can cure diseases, and which are poisonous. It costs money, but also allows them to treat diseases and fill their stomachs."

"Unexpectedly, half of our life has been wasted on this matter, as if it was still yesterday." Zhou Wang looked at the wrinkles on his hands and lamented the passage of time.

"Only the prince has great ambitions. With real ambitions, the people of the world will be grateful to the prince. Our herbal medicine collection will be almost complete next year."

King Zhou is a person who doesn't care about power, not even military power.

Otherwise, the prince would not have sent tens of thousands of military households to Daning.

It is also this prince.

In the future, when Zhu Yunwen cut down the vassal, Huang Zicheng's idea of ​​putting the easy first and then the difficult, first moved to the prince.

He successively compiled "Materia Medica for Relief of Famines", "Baosheng Yulu", "Pocket Prescriptions", "Puji Prescriptions"... This was the greatest scientist in the world at the beginning of the fifteenth century.

"My lord."

The people of the palace finally found King Zhou and brought news of the Peking rebellion.

"what?"

King Zhou was stunned.

"Taiyuan was conquered in one day, we in Henan are in danger, please return to the palace immediately."

"How is this good?"

King Zhou was helpless for a while, and subconsciously asked, "Where is the prince?"

"The son is not in the palace, I heard that I went to find someone to arrange the music."

"This beast."

King Zhou couldn't help cursing.

He himself "doesn't do business properly", and was bored by his father Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and finally gave up and let him "do nonsense" in the feudal land.

In the end, he complained that his son was "not doing his job properly", a famous playwright in the Ming Dynasty.

"Huh? My cousin rebelled?"

Zhou Shizi was found back and asked incredulously.

When he was in Peiping before, he got along well with Zhu Gaochi, and he didn't think he was not doing his job properly at all.

The Grand Theater in Beiping was created by Zhu Gaochi, and Zhou Shizi thought he was a fellow.

"You hurry up to patrol the army, that kid is too courageous, let the troops everywhere get ready." King Zhou hurriedly urged.

Zhou Shizi opened his mouth, what did his father ask him to do?
"Why, you dare not go?"

"Father, how can a father not know about his son's abilities? How can he be a man who can lead soldiers." Zhou Shizi was very self-aware.

Both father and son are honest, generous and generous.

Zhou Shizi is even more so.

Otherwise, his younger brother would not have the courage to frame him.

After Zhou Shizi inherited the throne, he was also the first vassal king to ask Ming Yingzong, the Emperor of War, not to let his childless concubines be buried.

The burial system of the Ming Dynasty inherited the system of the Yuan Dynasty, and was abolished by Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty in the middle and early Ming Dynasty. At that time, the prince of Zhou made great contributions.

The two father and son stared with wide eyes.

Henan hadn't fought wars for decades, and neither of them had ever led soldiers, so they really didn't know how to lead soldiers to fight.

In particular, Beiping made great achievements in the war, conquering Taiyuan in one day, and the two fathers and sons dared not confront each other.

"Is your cousin kind?"

"Gentle." Zhou Shizi said affirmatively.

"That's good." King Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.

……

The king of Lu in Shandong has died of illness, but the king of Qi sent someone to contact the king of Zhou to discuss joint defense and wait for the order of the court.

The people sent by the king of Qi entered Henan and found that Henan was very stable, with no military mobilization at all, so they couldn't help being shocked.

When he saw King Zhou and his son, after talking, he left even more disappointed.

"Father Zhou Wang and his son don't do their jobs properly. I heard that I thought it was an exaggeration. It seems that I misunderstood it. It's not just that."

The envoy of the king of Qi left the mansion of the king of Zhou in disdain, and had no expectations for the father and son of the king of Zhou in Henan.

And in Henan.

The merchants purchased large quantities of bamboo from Sichuan and transported them to Peiping via Henan.

Bamboo sports in Beiping rose.

In the past two years, bamboo ball sports have been established in various places, not only the army, but also the people. Every factory has formed a bamboo team, and the military household economic cooperative has also organized various places to form a local bamboo team.

Army Bamboo Game.

Folk bamboo ball game.

Factory Bamboo Ball Plugs.

Peking School Bamboo League.

The special lightweight bamboo armor has become the standard configuration of the bamboo ball stopper. It is cheap, light, and strong, ensuring personal safety.

Even this year, the demand for bamboo armor is as high as nearly [-] sets. Although the trade volume is not large, it is enough to lure small-scale business groups to join.

The same goes for canals.

There is an endless stream of merchant ships from the north and the south. From the very beginning, food was the main material, and it was transported from the south to the north in exchange for the economic model of Yanyin.

A healthy economic model of mutual exchange of goods and materials has gradually formed. The number of grain ships on the Cao River has decreased, and the number of cargo ships carrying goods has increased.

As if nothing happened.

It was May 30th in the [-]th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

Taiyuan City.

It took only three days for the Beiping army to enter the city, and the city's ban was lifted and the daily life of the city resumed.

But on important streets, military fortifications are still preserved, and Li Jian's team of 30 people guards here.

outside the city.

Tens of thousands of elite Taiyuan soldiers were disarmed and imprisoned for intensive care and education. Li Jian did not know the final result.

This ordinary captain only needs to stay here firmly to prevent all enemies from making trouble.

"oh oh."

In the neighborhood, children were lying on the muzzle and playing around.

There is a tiger crouching cannon left here.

The tiger squatting gun has only a barrel with a thick iron bracket underneath. It is not powerful, but it is easy to carry.

Thirty blunderbuss soldiers, equipped with this tiger crouching cannon, can form a huge firepower blow to the enemies coming from the street.

Of course, only against small-scale enemies.

"Be careful."

Li Jian said helplessly.

The children were too curious, more curious than anything else. Of course, this was based on the excellent military discipline of the new Peking Army.

Children are not afraid of the new army.

Li Jian is not worried that the children will break the thick iron cannon. If the children can play it badly, Li Jian feels that he has to worry more about the explosion of the iron cannon.

But Li Jian was worried that the Tiger Crouching Cannon would fall down due to too many children climbing up, which would easily injure the children.

"Oh, don't you trample on the paint."

The adults rushed over, pinched the children's ears vigorously, and drove them back one by one.

Li Jian glanced at the gleaming tiger crouching cannon, but he didn't say much. The people in Taiyuan still didn't believe the new army in Beiping.

Today is the first day of lifting the ban, and Li Jian also feels normal.

There are many soldiers in the city.

From time to time, messengers on horseback galloped past the middle of the street, because it was the first day, and there were not many people on the street.

Li Jian didn't know when they would start, nor did they know how the higher-ups planned to play, let alone how long their team would stay here.

Like duckweed on the sea, all Li Jian can do is strictly abide by military orders.

"Squeak~"

Hundreds of carts passed by Li Jian's residence, and the carts were full of grain transported from Beiping by Taiyuan Railway Station.

Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province.

There are countless supplies in various warehouses in the city, but these supplies were not prepared for the new Beiping army.

If the new army in Beiping ate one more bite of food, then the soldiers and common people in Taiyuan would have to eat one less bite.

Beiping not only prepared the army, but also prepared a wealth of materials, including a large amount of food. After the battle was over, it was the principle not to damage the interests of the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan.

This is the foundation of industrialization.

Not only can there be countless commodities, but it can also feed back agriculture, improve agricultural production efficiency and increase agricultural production output.

The former chief envoy of Beiping, Yan Dun, led the people to reclaim more than 200 million mu of new land over the years, and China Heavy Industry developed the agricultural reclamation and livestock industries in Daning and Kaiping, all of which are solid foundations for Beiping.

night.

Nearly [-] soldiers of the new Peking Army slept on the streets at night. The night in May was still very cold. The soldiers were wrapped in quilts and lay on the cold stone bricks.

The whole city of Taiyuan was silent.

"oops."

The next day, at dawn, a scream woke up the soldiers.

The woman who opened the gate looked at the soldiers lying on the street, covering her mouth with horror and disbelief.

"Shhhh!"

The bamboo whistle sounded.

The 450 soldiers on the street jumped up like robots, the inertia of years of training.

How sleepy people will immediately fall asleep when they hear the bamboo whistle.

"Street sweeping!"

Give the boss a loud order.

It has been four days, and although Taiyuan City resumed its daily life yesterday, not many ordinary people dared to go out.

Hundreds of soldiers took brooms and swept street by street.

The Peking New Army is cleaning the streets in Taiyuan today.

It only took one day.

Swept away the uneasiness in the hearts of the common people.

Taiyuan City was restored as before.
