Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 175 Zhu Xiongying’s enthronement ceremony is coming soon
Bu Cilang, like Silunfa, ended up "missing".

The state of the Royal City of Myanmar is even worse than that of the Royal City of Lucchuan.

Only half of the city of Luchuan was destroyed. After confirming that Silun was dead, Lan Yu ordered people to stop the artillery fire.

The Royal City of Myanmar was almost directly razed to the ground by the Ming Dynasty artillery!
As the culprit of Myanmar who has been instructing his subordinates to enter the Yunnan border to harass and plunder for many years, this time he gathered the power of various countries to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Wei and Lan Yu all hold the attitude of eradicating evil.

They can let go of the people of Burma, but Shi can never let go of Bu Clan and the [-] soldiers who stood beside him until the last moment.

Cut the grass to root out!
These people deserved to die, so Lan Yu ordered the soldiers to bomb the entire Burmese royal city into ashes, and no one in the city survived!

Even if information transmission was underdeveloped at this time, it was only a matter of time before the news that the Ming Dynasty dispatched a hundred thousand troops to directly wipe out the entire Southeast Asia reached the ears of various countries.

This battle,
It can be regarded as completely destroying the reputation of the Ming Dynasty.

After taking inventory of the battlefield, Muchun once again transferred some people to temporarily take over Myanmar. Although Myanmar was already empty at this time, this large tropical land was still very precious.

After that, the Ming army began to return to the court.

One hundred thousand troops came, one hundred thousand troops returned, none of the soldiers were injured or killed, and the Luchuan countries of Burma were wiped out in one battle!
Although Myanmar, Luchuan and other countries are all small countries.

However, this result is unprecedented!
All the way back to Malipo from west to east, the mining of tungsten ore was still in full swing. The steward arranged by Muchun told everyone that a batch of tungsten ore had been mined and shipped to Yingtian.

After hearing the news, Cao Wei stopped delaying, ended his honeymoon trip, and picked up Zhu Hanming to return to the court with Lan Yu's [-]-strong army.

Muchun led the troops all the way to the border of Yunnan. Zhu Chun learned that Cao Wei was leaving and hurried to see him off.

"Grand Master, this is Xiao Wang's thought. It's not a sign of respect. I hope Grand Master will accept it, so I will treat it as if Xiao Wang has made up for the Grand Master's wedding gift."

Zhu Ming, dressed in fine clothes, hurried over and directed a group of people behind him to carry out many boxes.

Cao Wei looked at the gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry brought by Zhu Xi and couldn't laugh or cry. After thinking about it, he said:
"Okay, I'll accept these things, but in the future you should not be too domineering in Yunnan, and be more down-to-earth. Work with the Marquis of Xiping to manage Yunnan well, so that His Majesty can save some effort."

Zhu Chu bowed his hands respectfully.

"The Grand Master's words, Xiao Wang should bear them in mind!"

Cao Wei nodded with satisfaction, then waved goodbye to Muchun and got into the frame.

Zhu Ming reluctantly shouted:

"Grand Master, please go slowly and come back often when you have time."

Muchun looked at Zhu Ming strangely, this boy really couldn't bear to leave Cao Wei?

It doesn't look like it's faked.

But two months ago, Cao Wei beat him into a pig's head...

Could it be that this kid has some strange hobbies?

……

After Cao Wei and Zhu Hanming got married in August, the Yunnan delegation spent more than three months on sweeping the Burmese countries.

When Cao Wei followed the army led by Lan Yu and spent another month returning to Yingtian Mansion, it was already February of the 30th year of Hongwu.

In the past few months, I have been in places such as Yunnan and Myanmar. Located in the tropical and subtropical tropics, I don't feel the climate change. The closer I get to Yingtian, I feel that the air is gradually getting cooler.

Passing by the outskirts of Yingtian Mansion, Cao Wei opened the curtain from the carriage and saw many craftsmen building a huge square.

The square is divided into two parts, the north and the south. The north part is obviously much higher. In the center, there is a very wide platform.

Among the people coming and going around the square, Cao Wei saw Yan Zhenzhi.

"Stop the car." Cao Wei shouted.

Then he explained to Zhu Hanming, got off the bike and headed towards the square.

Yan Zhen was directing the craftsmen to work when he suddenly heard Cao Wei's voice behind him.

"Master Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan Zhenzhi turned around and said, "Master Cao is back. How about our trip to Yunnan? Did it go well?"

Then Yan Zhenzhi saw the marching army in the distance, "Duke Liang has also returned. Are you returning together? What is the result of the army's expedition to Burma?"

Yan Zhen asked a few questions straight away, Cao Wei waved his hand,

"There is no longer a country called Myanmar. It is now the border of the Ming Dynasty."

Yan Zhen bared his teeth.
"An army of [-] destroyed Burma? Duke Liang is as brave as before!"

"Haha," Cao Wei smiled and pointed to the huge square next to him.

"Why are you building fortifications here? What are they used for?"

Yan Zhenzhi blinked, with a strange look on his face.

"This... His Majesty only gave the order, but didn't say what it was for, but..."

"But what?" Cao Wei asked with raised eyebrows.

"There are rumors in the government and the public that His Majesty is old and wants to abdicate. This place is probably used to allow His Majesty the Hero to ascend the throne..."

After hearing this, Cao Wei hesitated for a moment.

"There was a strong wind in the morning... Your Majesty didn't say anything?"

After seeing Yan Zhenzhi shaking his head, Cao Wei had a clear idea.

If you don’t refute the civil and military opinions of the Manchu Dynasty, it’s probably true.

Count the days...

When Cao Wei returned to the Ming Dynasty from Japan years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang had the intention of abdicating the throne. Six months had passed by now, and it was indeed almost the same.

After bidding farewell to Yan Zhenzhi, Cao Wei went all the way to the Nuan Pavilion of the palace and happened to see Lan Yu coming out of it.

The two nodded and Cao Wei opened the door and entered.

"Whatever you say, just now Ying'er was talking to us about why you didn't come with Lan Yu." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Cao Wei cupped his hand,

"On the way back, I saw Yan Shangshu building a square, so I went over to take a look and wasted a moment."

Normally, when ministers return to the capital, they usually have to meet the emperor as soon as possible. This is to report that they are back, and the emperor can greet them if they have any errands.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter."

"Did Yan Zhenzhi tell you anything else?"

Cao Wei nodded honestly, "I told you, His Majesty intends to abdicate and let His Highness Xiongying ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

"Well... what do you think?"

"I don't dare to talk about royal matters."

Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently:
"We have already made you the Grand Master, why are you still pretending to be here? Just say whatever you want."

"No!" Cao Wei cupped his hand.

"I believe that it is a compliant and natural act for His Majesty to ascend the throne, so that His Majesty can also enjoy his old age and get the best of both worlds."

"but……"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked: "But what?" "I feel that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty has ascended the throne, and the momentum must not be small. Moreover, this year coincides with the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which is even more commemorative. It should be announced to the world and a military parade ceremony should be held. , let other countries come to admire the supreme national majesty of our Ming Dynasty, and also let some young people put away their inappropriate thoughts..."

"Military parade?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a flash of light flashed out of his cloudy old eyes.

"That's a good idea!"

"Our Ming Dynasty has now made repeating muskets and artillery, which are extremely powerful. If we don't let those barbarians see them, it will be like walking at night in brocade clothes! Hahahaha..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly,
"This method is wonderful, just follow your instructions."

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said:

"Grandpa Emperor, since we are going to invite envoys from all over the world to watch our Ming Dynasty's military parade, shouldn't the square be appropriately expanded? We can't have envoys from all over the world without even a place to sit..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded,

"That's the reason. Cao Wei, you will go to Yan Zhenzhi for us later and tell him to make the square bigger and arrange all the seats properly. We can't lose the Ming Dynasty style."

"promise!"

Then Cao Wei told the story of the grievances and resentments between the Yunnan Mu family and Zhu Chu, as well as his fat beating of Zhu Chu and Zhu Chu's changes before and after.

"... Before leaving, King Min came to see his ministers off. The smell of gunpowder between him and Marquis Xiping has been reduced a lot. I think the two sides will be able to get along more harmoniously in the future..."

After hearing this, Zhu Xiongying couldn't help laughing.

Cao Wei went to Yunnan to clean up the king of Min. Zhu Zhen was sitting at home, and trouble came from the sky!

He also suffered from Cao Wei's fist back then, and it was not a pleasant experience...

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hands.

"That boy Zhu Cheng has been spoiled by his mother and concubine since he was a child. After making him King of Min, we are beyond our reach and can't beat or scold him. It would be a good thing for you to teach him a lesson this time and let him remember it for a long time."

Zhu Yuanzhang said a few words, and the matter was over.

Cao Wei cupped his hand and said, "In that case, I will leave first."

"Go ahead." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Let Ming'er come back to the palace to see her mother and concubine when she has time."

"No! The minister will leave."

After leaving Nuange, Cao Wei first returned to the outer suburbs to find Yan Zhenzhi again.

"Have you met His Majesty?"

Yan Zhen asked directly when he saw Cao Wei leaving and coming back.

Cao Wei nodded yes and said:
"Master Yan, I'm afraid this square needs to be modified."

Yan Zhen was puzzled and asked him why.

"This year marks the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty the Heroic Highness has proclaimed himself emperor. Both events are very important, so His Majesty will hold a military parade to announce it to the world and invite envoys from all over the world to come and watch."

"This square... still needs to accommodate some foreign envoys."

Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment. After thinking about the whole thing, he slapped his thigh, turned around and shouted to the craftsmen to stop.

The construction of this square started a few years ago, and due to its large scale, the main body has only just been completed.

At this time, once the plan is changed, the layout of the entire square will have to change...

Cao Wei smiled and shook his head,

This troublesome matter should just give Yan Zhen a headache.

the next day,
After resting for the night, Cao Wei and Zhu Hanming went directly to the palace to visit Concubine Han.

After seeing Concubine Han, the two of them saluted in unison, "I have met my mother."

"No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite," Concubine Han said with a joyful smile on her face and a few crow's feet.

"My daughter returned to Yingtian yesterday and didn't come to visit her mother in time. Don't blame her." Zhu Hanming bowed again.

Concubine Han quickly pulled the two of them to sit down and said with a smile:
"Don't worry about these little things. You two will be tired all the way back from Yunnan. How could I not know?"

indeed,

Before the Ming Dynasty trains covered the entire country, the most high-end way to travel was still horse-drawn carriages.

The carriage was swaying, and sitting there for a long time made me feel uncomfortable all over.

That is to say, Cao Wei was in good health and could go see Zhu Yuanzhang after he came back, but Zhu Hanming couldn't do it and was sent directly back to Cao Mansion to rest.

Even though she wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han, she was really powerless.

Seeing Zhu Hanming's face become more voluptuous, Concubine Han asked with a smile:

"You have been married for half a year now, when do you want to have children?"

"While my mother is still young, you should hurry up and have a child. If you don't have time to take care of the child, you can also send it to the palace and my mother will take care of it for you."

Even though Zhu Hanming was a married woman, her face still turned red when she heard Concubine Han's words.

Seeing this, Cao Wei changed the topic.

"We went to Yunnan this time and brought back local famous mushrooms for my mother. They are delicious. I will make them for my mother to try."

"Just let the servants do it, why don't you do it yourself?" Concubine Han felt very sorry for Cao Wei, her uncle.

Cao Wei smiled and said,
Zhu Hanming said from the side, "My mother doesn't know something. Although this mushroom tastes wonderful, it is difficult to prepare. If it has its own nature, it will cause people to be slightly poisoned and cause hallucinations..."

As she spoke, she told the story about Cao Wei getting poisoned by eating mushrooms and hearing the dog talking in Malipo. The mother and daughter were laughing so hard.

Cao Wei scratched his head in embarrassment and refused to argue with them. He turned around and went to the kitchen with the maid to prepare mushrooms.

As noon was approaching, Concubine Han simply asked her servants to prepare a table full of food.

With experience, Cao Wei only took a quarter of an hour to fry and serve the mushrooms on the table. Concubine Han was full of praise after tasting them.

In the afternoon, Cao Wei heard the news. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to announce to the world that he was about to abdicate and let Zhu Xiongying ascend the throne.

At the same time, a military parade will be held at Zhu Xiongying's enthronement ceremony, and invitations will be sent to overseas countries, asking them to send envoys to visit.

According to Cao Wei's estimation, if the work is rushed and extra work is done, it will take about two months for the square to be completely completed. However, it will still have to wait for the arrival of overseas envoys, which should take a few more months.

After having dinner at Concubine Han's residence, Cao Wei left the mother and daughter to continue their heart-to-heart talk and went to the manufacturing bureau himself.

Within a moment of arriving at the manufacturing bureau, Song Ping and Zhao Heng hurried over and reported to Cao Wei the situation of the manufacturing bureau during this period.

The artillery manufacturing factory has been built long ago, and like the firearms manufacturing factory, it is now producing gun mounts and ammunition non-stop.

Wang Hu, who worked with Cao Wei to develop the Thunderbolt Cannon, was now the main person in charge of the artillery factory.

Because he has enough experience, the artillery manufacturing plant has not had any problems since its establishment today. Wang Hu manages it very well and the artillery manufacturing efficiency is also very high.

For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang once praised the craftsmen of the Manufacturing Bureau for their ability in their work.

On the other side is the tungsten ore sent from Yunnan.

These ores were first sent to the Ministry of Industry, and then Yan Zhen sent them all to the Manufacturing Bureau.

There were also some other minor things, no matter how detailed they were, Song and Ping reported them to Cao Wei.
