Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 888: Cultivate both inside and outside
"No wonder Your Majesty is not in a hurry to destroy the Jianlu."

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian finally understood why the emperor did that regarding the Jianlu issue, instead of pursuing the victory and completely destroying the Jianlu even if more people died.

"The Ming Dynasty must have a grindstone after all."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It is not worth it for the Ming Dynasty to risk its vitality to get rid of them all at once. This deal is not worth it for the Ming Dynasty."

"indeed."

Zhu Youjian nodded and said, "Since the Jianlu retreated to the Ciluwei area, I have launched an offensive against Khorchin and other places, which has in turn promoted the expansion of Liaodong's border trade."

"When I was in charge of bilateral cooperation in the court, I worked with Xiong Tingbi and others on some matters. When I learned about these things, I found it incredible."

"There's nothing strange about that."

Zhu Youxiao said: "The grassland is very vast, but it is too monotonous. Let alone other things, in terms of medicinal materials, the grassland cannot compare with our dynasty."

"Wars frequently break out on the grasslands, and the most urgent things are food, ironware, and medicinal herbs. However, the first two are not covered by border trade on the grasslands. Even in Liaodong, this kind of smuggling is severely cracked down on. If anyone is caught, their property will be confiscated and their clan will be exterminated."

"It is precisely because of this that many people have turned their attention to medicinal materials. As far as I know, the scale of Liaodong border trade in finished medicines is constantly increasing."

"Yes."

Zhu Youjian nodded heavily. "It's okay for a few medicines, but for large-scale purchases, you have to exchange them for war horses, cattle, sheep and other things. This has also caused many tribes to fight each other just to purchase these."

Zhu Youjian and the others widened their eyes. They really didn't know much about this.

"According to you, the various tribes on the grassland have started fighting?"

Zhu Changxun was a little bit incredulous and said, "Why don't people in the court talk about this so much?"

"What do you think."

Zhu Youjian said unhappily, "The court doesn't talk about these things, and you don't want to think about the reasons. Even if many people die on the grassland, as long as it doesn't involve invading the border, how many of the officials in the court do you think will pay attention to these things?"

"As for the Military Affairs Council that is really concerned about these things, I'm afraid they have a lot of things to do, so they don't have the leisure to spread these things."

It really is.

Zhu Changxun thought to himself, so many things have happened in the Ming Dynasty in just the past few months, so much so that things happening in northern Zhili and other places are no longer the focus of heated discussion.

The key is the events in places like Northern Zhili, many of which are major issues concerning the country.

Like immigrants to Liaoning.

Like intensive development.

Like shipbuilding support.

These are all very important to the Ming Dynasty.

However, because batches of people were being killed in Beijing and news kept coming back from the southeast, the ministers in the court have been focusing on these things, but they didn't pay enough attention to the people under their noses.

"The Ming Dynasty has too many things to do right now."

Zhu Youxiao walked to the front of the map and said with a serious expression: "We must pay attention to both the internal and external aspects. What some of you are involved in right now is actually one of the links."

"But I have too many things to deal with, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions in some matters. What you have to do, in addition to doing your job well, is to remind me when necessary."

"You are all members of the Zhu family. If you don't care about the Zhu family's country, do you think the title you inherited is important enough?"

In the past political structure of the Ming Dynasty, the link of vassalage has always been missing. This has historical reasons, but the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Youxiao wanted was beyond everyone's imagination.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to fill this gap. In the future, the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty would either go overseas or concentrate in the capital. As for other places in the Ming Dynasty, it would be better for them not to stay there, so as to avoid causing trouble in places far away from the emperor.

In addition to the royal family and vassal states, there are also nobles.

Either go overseas or stay in Beijing.

In order to meet this political demand, the capital of the Ming Dynasty must be expanded, and it is indeed being done now. The existing inner and outer districts of the Ming Dynasty are the core circle of the capital. In addition to the core circle, there will be many more areas to meet the needs of the new capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"The Nine Frontiers have been restless again recently."

Under the gazes of the crowd, Zhu Youxiao slowly turned around and said, "Some people seem to know that there is trouble in the southeast, so they want to stir up some trouble. Qin Bangping is in the Nine Frontiers and has been suppressing it with many people. This has damaged the so-called interests of some people."

"It's really ridiculous when you think about it. Some people claim to be ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but what they do is to be traitors to the Ming Dynasty. They think I have no time to care about them."

"Your Majesty, who is it!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian frowned and stepped forward.

“It doesn’t matter who it is.”

Zhu Youxiao smiled, "The important thing is that the power gathered by these people is gradually destroying the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. From the moment they had these reactions, they are no different from dead people in my eyes."

"It's just that we have to prioritize things. It's not the right time to deal with them yet. Once some things are clear, the court will be able to free up its hands."

"Brother, do you want to send someone to patrol the border?"

Zhu Youjian guessed something and stepped forward to express his thoughts.

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "In the past, when Qin Bangping led troops to patrol the border, some people calmed down. But now, they feel that they understand Qin Bangping, and their interests are constantly being damaged, which drives them to want to compete with Qin Bangping."

"If this is the case, the court should take action."

"Brother Emperor, I am willing to go!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian bowed immediately.

"minister…"

Zhu Youjian also wanted to say something, but when he thought about the current situation in Korea and what he had to do in Korea, he knew better than anyone that when he left the capital, he would definitely return to Korea, not patrol the border.

"It's not urgent."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about everything after the Zhengdan Festival is over."

Zhu Youxiao had already made up his mind about the person to patrol the border.

Zhu Youxiao had also decided which team to send when patrolling the border.

Since the purpose is to intimidate the villains in the nine borders and prevent the situation in the nine borders of Ming Dynasty from further deteriorating, it is necessary to send a strong army.

There is no one more suitable than the Tiger Guards.

As the emperor's personal army mainly based in Shizhu and Youyang, the key is that a group of chieftains' children are also among them. The leading general is Ma Xianglin, the son of Qin Liangyu. The combat power of the Huben Army, coupled with a number of advanced firearms and battlefield weapons such as hot air balloons, can have a huge deterrent effect if it really goes to any place in the Ming Dynasty.

This is how Zhu Youxiao does things. If he does something, he either doesn't do it at all, or he does it to the utmost, doing it at the top of his lungs without giving anyone a chance to breathe. Under this kind of crushing advantage, no one can adapt.
