Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 534 Zhu Yuanzhang’s final examination of Lan Yu
"Father...Father, is such a big adjustment too big a move?"

Zhu Biao persuaded him tactfully.

In fact, for a moment of daze, he had already thought of the purpose of his father's sudden adjustment of the capital camp, as well as the various possibilities.

Zhu Yuanzhang supported his knees with both hands, and although his eyes looked old, they were still staring at Zhu Biao.

It wasn't until Zhu Biao was pushed to the limit by this pressure that Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, and asked in a cold tone: "You don't agree? Oppose?"

Zhu Biao took a deep breath, raised his head, met Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze bravely and calmly, and shook his head: "I have no objection, I just feel that such a big adjustment suddenly makes me worried that something will happen."

snort!
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and looked away from Zhu Biao.

Looking out the window, he said calmly: "You are our eldest son and our chosen heir. As long as you don't object, we will see who dares to make trouble for us in this matter..."

In words.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his thin hand and said, "Although my father, this tiger is old and its claws and claws are no longer sharp enough, it is still more than enough to kill a group of hozens that pretend to be powerful."

Zhu Biao felt Zhu Yuanzhang's hand on his shoulder holding his shoulder tightly.

Heart is not the taste.

Actually he knows.

Over the years, his father had become very disappointed in him for his resistance to comprehensive reforms.

The reason why he did not do anything to abolish the establishment.

He also thought about it when he was alone.

There are just a few reasons.

1. Father’s current favorite, the fourth child, has too little foundation in the Central Plains. Even if the father wants to support the fourth child, it will be very difficult.

Not to mention that the broad spectrum of conservatives won’t agree.

Even among the reformists, a few people would accept it, and Lao Si would replace him.

Second, even if his father's love for him is so great, after all he has been trained for so many years, his father will not dethrone him emotionally.

3. Xiongying's support for innovation made his father believe that even if he did not make comprehensive reforms, Xiongying would complete it. He had hope and a plan for the future, so his father did not replace him.

But his father didn't understand him at all.

Doesn’t he know the benefits of innovation?

Does he really not want to innovate?
But he is more in line with reality.

The current situation in Ming Dynasty is that conservative groups are very widespread.

Innovation is growing though.

But the power of innovation is simply not enough to become the sharpest knife in the hands of the imperial power to help the king complete a top-down innovation.

The knife is not sharp enough.

The emperor must end it himself.

It must be like what my father was like when the Ming Dynasty was founded.

With the help of Jin Yiwei and powerful forces, he went on a killing spree.

As a result, the emperor was obviously doing good things, but he was burdened with infamy.

He obviously did something good that benefited the people.

Not only will the people of later generations read this period of history and say that Emperor Father was brutal in murdering people, but even the people living today will be afraid of Emperor Father.

You are obviously doing good things, but you are burdened with controversy?

This is what the common people have in common!
Since this group is so short-sighted, and since the current living situation of this group has been improved, it is not impossible for them to survive.

Then let them endure it and suffer a little more.

Wait!
With his support, the sword of the reformists continues to grow and become sharper.

Then secretly hold this knife to wipe out the conservatives.

Those things stained with blood and leaving a reputation for murderous brutality are left to the reformists.

The emperor only needs to be behind and push the waves to achieve his goal.

Doing so is nothing more than going a little slower.

But he couldn't tell his father what he thought.

He knew very well that according to his father's behavior style, he did not like his approach.

Father prefers the open and close approach.

When you decide to make a decision, cut through the mess quickly.

When you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, solve the person who created the problem.

In the past few decades, my father has been like this.

……

Neither father nor son spoke.

The dinner in the palace is over.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying returned to Kunning Palace.

Over the past few years.

The palace has also been renovated.

In the past, brightly lit lanterns were replaced by bright biogas lamps at night.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying came to the pavilion in the courtyard with the support of the palace maid.

After dismissing the palace maid with a wave of his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the biogas lamps installed on several pillars of the pavilion, patted his knees, a smile appeared on his lips, and said with emotion: "Looking at this biogas lamp, for a moment, I thought it was still in the palace of the fourth son Yanjing."

As he spoke, he took out a 'pocket watch' from his sleeve.

Although the changes in Ming Dynasty are obvious.

But the difference is also very obvious.

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and glared angrily, "Today, you are too harsh on the target. There are nine sons born from the dragon, and they are all different. He also has his own ideas. They can't all be like you or learn from you. …”

in fact.

The early years of Hongwu.

Their expectation for Biao'er is to be a successful king.

Chongba governed the country with iron and blood, eliminated unstable factors, and stabilized the Ming Dynasty.

We need a gentle and forgiving king like Biao'er.

Chongba puts pressure on everyone, and Biao'er needs to use gentle hands to relax everyone's tense nerves.

Only by relaxing can it last.

Undoubtedly, according to Hongwu's original vision, Biao'er was very qualified.

On the contrary, the fourth child's character, which is broad-minded and forceful, is not suitable for inheriting the Ming Dynasty.

But no one expected that so many things would happen later.

Lao Si put forward two concepts and two propositions in an epoch-making way.

And he left the Ming Dynasty and verified in Yanhua that the two ideas and two propositions could be successful.

change.

To be honest, it is no less than recreating the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty before and after the reform, although it is still the Ming Dynasty.

Although they are all imperial systems.

But everyone can understand that under the same appearance, the core has completely changed.

On the surface, it looks like a Ming Dynasty.

In fact, they are two Ming Dynasties!

This is tantamount to conquering the world again.

In this case, Biao'er's character and methods are obviously not suitable.

just like.

Prince Yin Li Jiancheng and King Qin Li Shimin.

Both brothers are actually very good.

However, Prince Yin can only be a successor and keeper.

The King of Qin, Li Shimin, was a pioneer.

If the two brothers were placed in troubled times at the same time and became princes on one side, Li Jiancheng's character was destined not to be the final winner.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand indifferently, "We are just banging the drum! We are fully aware of Biao'er's plan. He hopes to cultivate the reformists through slow deployment and use the power of innovation to eradicate conservatism. This idea cannot be "It's not feasible, but it's more difficult and the possibility of success is lower."

“The longer the timeline for a strategic decision is extended, the more things that may go wrong during the process.”

"For example, he ignored that the passionate passion of the reformists will cool down and disappear over time."

"We know this better than anyone else. When we first conquered the world, although everyone did it for personal glory and wealth and to be a good person, who can deny that at the beginning, everyone actually had the intention of helping the world and returning to the world. A lofty ideal of a bright future. At that time, we, as a group, combined our ideals with our personal interests.”

"But look at it later, after success and fame, after time passes and the passion dissipates, what are the civil servants doing?"

"Strive for power!"

"At this stage, there is no set of good systems and strict constraints similar to Laosi Yanhua. Once the enthusiasm of the reformists dissipates, their blood disappears, and they quickly deteriorate, the Ming Dynasty's innovation will be even more difficult."

"What I say is important is to remind him that he can continue his ideas, but he cannot just be a behind-the-scenes person. He should stand in front of the stage, complete the reform before the enthusiasm of the reformists dissipates, and form a complete set of restraint systems. "

……

Ma Xiuying was silent.

In fact, she didn't know.

I want to accomplish something, especially something groundbreaking.

Just like Chongba and Laosi.

As long as you seize the opportunity and find the entry point.

Just hit hard.

Even taking the lead without hesitation.

In one fell swoop, everything was established.

During this period, even if some details are wrong, even if many innocent people are implicated and abandoned, we must persist with a cold heart.

This is the reason why people who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.

This sentence does not mean that people should not pay attention to details.

This sentence has such an obvious contrast.

big and small.

When pursuing a big goal, you must persevere, fight hard, and advance bravely.

Sacrifice the small, abandon the small.

……

The next day.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a strong stance and began to adjust the Beijing camp.

Hu Weiyong, Lu Ben and other conservatives were frightened, anxious, angry, and uneasy.

A group of elite Beijing battalions commanded by conservatives were strictly ordered to set off on the train immediately after the soldiers and generals were mixed and mixed. Go to the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area and other places chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang.

at the same time.

After receiving the order, groups of new troops stationed in local areas quickly rushed to the nearest north-south longitudinal station and boarded the train.

We quickly arrived in Jinling along the double-track railway.

Then, he mixed with Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, Qu Neng, Xu Huizu and other new troops from the Beijing camp who supported the reform.

This was a huge military adjustment involving 200,000 people and a march distance of up to 1,000 miles.

Because of the train.

Completed in just three months.

Although many conservatives watched helplessly and were angry that the military support of the conservatives in Jinling was almost collapsed.

But the entire elite of Ming Dynasty.

I was also shocked by this military movement.

"too fast!"

"No, there are 200,000 people, and so much equipment. The farthest distance is as much as a thousand miles. In the past, this kind of mobilization and adjustment could not be completed in a year and a half, but now, it can be completed in just three months. !”

"In the future, unless the Ming Dynasty is completely corrupted internally and the army loses its combat effectiveness, the possibility of a change of dynasty will be extremely small!"

……

This military adjustment proved to the world the strategic significance of trains to the military.

……

Jinling Station.

The vassal kings from various places in the south have arrived and are following Zhu Yuanzhang on the carriage.

The vassal kings from all over the north are already in Peiping at this moment.

Zhu Biao needed to supervise the country.

There is no accompanying person this time.

Only Crown Princess Chang and her children accompanied her.

Platform.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood outside the car door.

Glancing at the ministers not far behind Zhu Biao, he shifted his gaze and landed on Zhu Biao, "This military adjustment, you should have a clear understanding of the strategic significance of rail trains to the military, right? Our Ming Dynasty The territory and the importance of rail trains need no more explanation.”

"It has been more than five years since the Yanhua Engineering Team built the north-south longitudinal line. Is our Ming Dynasty now capable of independently building a train line?"

Zhu Biao thought for a while and shook his head sincerely, "Father, our talents have a very poor grasp of basic subjects such as mathematics, surveying, and geology. They are still unable to build railway lines independently."

The imperial court also established an agency specializing in railways.

Those sons of the gentry were unwilling to do such hard work.

But the students from peasant families are willing.

Although there is no shortage of talents for reading.

But a practical issue cannot be avoided.

That is, before the Ming Dynasty, there had never been specialized subjects such as mathematics, surveying, and geology.

And this knowledge is an essential skill for building railways.

This resulted in the talents of the imperial court network having to learn from scratch.

In the past five years, I have spent three years learning these basic things.

In the past two years, I started to study with the engineering team assisted by Yanhua.

In terms of actual ability, it is not enough to lead and direct a construction team alone.

"As long as you have an idea." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a stern tone: "But you only know everything, but you don't want to solve it."

"Railway construction is being hampered. Don't you know why?"

"We are alive, and you brothers, even if there are stumbling blocks, the Grand Cross Railway project can continue to be built. But if we die, if there is a little stumbling block between you, can this railway still be built?"

By then, not only was the Grand Cross Railway layout delayed.

We will lose this man who teaches by words and deeds even more!

When Zhu Biao heard about Hong Zhong Da Lu, he was stunned for a moment and then sincerely admitted his mistake, "Father, I made a mistake."

Over the past few years.

Local conservatives restricted railway construction.

It's not that he doesn't know.

That's why I didn't intervene.

Because he felt that there was nothing wrong with this. He knew very well that the fourth child attached great importance to the Grand Cross Railway.

You can take advantage of this internal constraint.

Help the court to strive for more benefits in the actual operation of the subsequent construction of the factory.

After all, in addition to the originally signed cooperation agreement and the proposed terms, there are still many benefits that can be fought for.

Just like.

On the one hand, it restricts the speed at which Yanhua Steel can be unloaded at various terminals and transported to the railway line.

Accused that Yanhua Steel supply is too slow.

Yanhua was asked to provide additional assistance in building a 10,000-ton steelmaking converter.

……

A lot of these benefits have been achieved in the past five years.

Now it seems that it is time to restrain local conservatives and remove constraints.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing more.

He glanced at Zhu Biao.

Boarding the train amidst the congratulations of Qunchenshan shouting long live.

……

woo woo woo...

In the long whistle.

The platform near the front of the train was instantly enveloped in white steam.

The rhythmic 'tapping' sound changes from slow to fast.

The locomotive, with fifteen carriages attached, rushed out of Jinling Station at extremely fast speeds.

Heading towards the north.

……

The train crosses rivers, passes through tunnels, and travels along the edge of wild farmland.

Stop and go along the way.

It took a month.

on an evening.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying arrived at Zhangbeicheng with the princes, daughters and grandchildren.

Zhangbei Station.

Lian Zining, Lan Yu, and Zhang Yu rode in the same carriage with Zhu Yuanzhang at Zhu Yuanzhang's request.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Welcome to Zhangbei, Your Majesty!"

……

As soon as the carriage drove out of the station, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by the wave of cheers.

On both sides of the road, a famous soldier crossed his arms. Behind the human wall, a sea of ​​people cheered and knelt down to salute before the carriage passed by.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these people in a daze.

Many of his dressing styles are exactly the same as those of the fourth child, Yan Jing.

About 60 to 70 percent.

There are even 20 to 30 percent of people who have cut their hair short!
Behind the people are neat buildings, and there is a biogas lamp post about ten meters apart.

for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang just came back to his senses, looked at Lan Yu and the others, and said with a satisfied smile: "You have built the demonstration area well. We can hear that the people's welcome to us is sincere, but you should not organize the people to welcome us. ”

Lan Yu and the three looked at each other and smiled.

Lan Yu explained: "Your Majesty, this is not an organization of ministers and others, it is a spontaneous act of the common people upon hearing that Your Majesty has arrived."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was undoubtedly even more happy.

What is the aspiration of the people, this is it!
"In the demonstration area, a large proportion of people imitate Yanhua in their clothing and hair accessories."

Hearing this, Lan Yu and the others couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The clothes are okay.

Hair accessories available.

Hair cutting is really a taboo in Ming Dynasty, and they don’t know what His Majesty’s attitude is towards this.

Lian Zining pursed his lips and carefully explained: "Your Majesty, after Yanhua's engineering team arrived at the demonstration area, some former Mongolian people began to imitate Yanhua's hair accessories. Regarding hair accessories, in the past, the court did not make it clear Change the original traditions of the Mongolian people, and now the Mongolian people follow suit. For the sake of stability and unity, we will not stop it. "

To say, it is now within the Ming Dynasty.

Where is the most like Yanhua?

In fact, it is no longer Fujian.

Instead, it was the Mongolian-Han demonstration area that came from behind.

The demonstration area has a unique fusion of Mongolian and Chinese cultures.

As a result, the demonstration area has very little resistance in accepting Yanhua's new culture and new fashions.

They are confident as long as the court does not stop them.

It won't be long.

The demonstration area must be the first Ming province to catch up with Yanhua!
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved.

He comforted Lian Zining with a few words and asked Lian Zining to boldly learn from Yanhua Queen.

Looking at Lan Yu, "Lanyu, do you understand our purpose of adjusting the Beijing camp? You have the largest number of troops in the Beijing camp. If you don't understand our purpose, you won't be able to handle things well."
