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

Chapter 246 Zhu Xiongying was shocked, what is the significance of the kings dividing their kingdoms and ruling each other?

"You guys keep busy, I'll go to the palace."

Cao Wei put down his work and explained to Xie Jin and others.

"Sir, let's go to the experimental launch."

Cao Wei nodded, turned around, followed the eunuch from the palace, walked two steps, and then turned back.

"Forget it, let's take a look together. It won't take long."

The eunuch's face wrinkled up and he could only pretend that he didn't hear this.

In the whole world, Cao Wei is probably the only person who dares to go to the palace to see the emperor without delay.

Xie Jin and others looked at the eunuch who lowered his head, then responded and moved the manufactured ejection seat to the runway outside the courtyard.

"grown ups,"

Based on what happened a few days ago, there are no more than two situations.

In fact, in his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang was wiser than most emperors in Chinese history. Like Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they made outstanding achievements in their early years of rule, but in their later years, they often made various mistakes.

Cao Wei raised his feet and stepped across the threshold, entered the main hall, turned a corner and went to the back room where Zhu Xiongying was handling the memorial, and saw Zhu Xiongying already sitting upright, waiting for him.

At that time, perhaps the common people in the world can still find a way to survive, but on the contrary, it is the descendants of the Zhu family, everyone wants their lives!

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude that night gave Cao Wei a bad feeling.

When he reached the door of the study, Cao Wei stopped. The eunuch entered and returned to Zhu Xiongying.

The eunuch bowed and exited the study,
"Master Cao, please come in."

Now more than ten days have passed before Zhu Xiongying asked someone to come to him. Cao Wei didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying's grandfather and grandson had discussed, and he didn't know anything about it.

"Your Majesty, Master Cao has arrived."

First, for the sake of Zhu Yuanzhang's face, the Ming Dynasty's enfeoffment system cannot be changed, which is understandable to the Zhu family.

With a heavy heart, Cao Wei followed the eunuch to the palace.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor who valued his relatives very much. For the sake of future generations of the Zhu family, he would 90% resist changing the Ming Dynasty's feudal system.

"promise!"

It's just that the issue of enfeoffment in the Ming Dynasty involves the descendants of the Zhu family. Zhu Yuanzhang is in the middle, so he may not be able to see through it for a while...

In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say he did anything great, but he showed no signs of fading with age.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand quickly, "Grand Master, there is no need to be polite, just be on your own."

When Cao Wei saw this, he was very satisfied. The development of the ejection seat went smoothly. Next, as long as the emergency parachute is manufactured, all the air force's equipment will be completed.

"laugh……"

When the Ming Dynasty collapsed under heavy pressure, not to mention that the people all over the world would suffer from war and displacement, how could the descendants of the Zhu family survive alone under the invasion of powerful enemies from other countries?

The eunuch nodded hurriedly, and then led Cao Wei towards the palace.

Zhu Xiongying's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Grand Master Cao couldn't let go of what happened a few days ago.

The disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty's enfeoffment system have not yet appeared. If it is changed directly at this time, it will definitely make all the vassal kings dissatisfied. To a certain extent, it feels like Zhu Yuanzhang's "late festival is not guaranteed".

"I receive no reward for my merits. If your Majesty has anything to say, just say it."

It depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, which is more important, the Ming Dynasty, or the descendants of the Zhu family.

"Quickly, please invite the Grand Master to come in."

"Your Majesty, sir." Cao Wei saluted respectfully.

"Bang!" The seat hit the ground, rolled over twice, and stopped on the ground.

"Let's go." Cao Wei turned around and said to the eunuch waiting beside him.

As for another result, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying can fully understand what kind of disasters the Ming Dynasty's feudal system will cause in the future!
That was a cancer that could completely destroy the Ming Dynasty and cause the world to fall into turmoil again!

"Come here, give Grand Master Cao a seat."

I saw a flame appear at the bottom of the seat, and the seat flew straight into the air. Because there were several boosters evenly distributed below, the seat was stable on the way up.

I hope the old man can understand clearly. The enfeoffment system in the Ming Dynasty can only allow the descendants of the Zhu family to live a good life for three to five hundred years at most. The principle is to fish from the lake.

Everyone watched as the seat rose into the air, nearly five or six meters away. Then the booster's gunpowder fuel ran out, the seat lost its power to rise, and fell straight back down.

After all, that was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Zhu family, and the ancestor of the descendants of the Zhu family.

He just raised the dangers of the Ming Dynasty's enfeoffment system, but Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and stopped.

The chief eunuch on the side called the two young eunuchs to bring chairs, but Cao Wei did not sit down.

Xie Jin asked Cao Wei for instructions. Cao Wei nodded, and then someone stepped forward and triggered the seat ejection device.

Zhu Xiongying raised his head and put down the memorial he was correcting.

Along the way, Cao Wei was thinking about what Zhu Xiongying would say if he called him over.

"Master Cao, please take a look at this memorial."

Zhu Xiongying handed a memorial to the chief eunuch, who took it and handed it to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei looked at it and saw that it was a request for help from Gao Li.

It says that since the Ming Dynasty began to attack the Japanese country in the third year of Yongwu, a large number of Japanese pirates have fled to the border of Goryeo.

At first, there were not many Japanese pirates who fled to Koryo. After entering Koryo, they were considered honest. However, as the Japanese were completely captured by the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Japanese continued to flee to the southern coast of Koryo.

As time goes by, these Japanese people become more and more dishonest. They often gather in crowds to riot, rob the people of Goryeo, and advance northward step by step. So far, they have occupied several cities in succession.

It was not that the King of Koryo did not send troops to conquer these foreign Japanese, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. The number of firearms in the hands of the Japanese was more than that of the Koryo Kingdom, so the Koryo Kingdom suffered successive defeats.

In fact, up to now, those Japanese people have only occupied five cities in Goryeo, covering a radius of about four to five hundred miles. Because most of the Japanese people were killed during the war with the Ming Dynasty, the number of Japanese people who escaped was only a small part, less than 40,000.

After occupying four or five cities in Goryeo, these Japanese stopped advancing northward due to lack of manpower and unable to go deeper.

But their posture gave the King of Korea an even more headache.

This group of Japanese people obviously wanted to make progress step by step, and only after they grew stronger, could they eat up the entire Goryeo Kingdom.

Although the Japanese were already dormant in the southern area of ​​Goryeo at this time, if they were not eliminated, sooner or later the Goryeo Kingdom would face a catastrophe.

After reading it, Cao Wei felt a little unexpected.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Di captured Japan, tens of thousands of people escaped in advance.

Think about it, Zhu Di led the Ming army to destroy everything, and the Japanese camp had no hope of victory, so many people would have made preparations in advance.

According to the situation at that time, Ming Dynasty could not go there, and everyone would die. Those Japanese people who escaped could only choose Goryeo, which was also relatively close and had a relatively weak national power.

If it were Goguryeo in the past, there were less than 40,000 Japanese people, and even if they had a large number of firearms in their hands, they could be dealt with with some effort.

But today's Goryeo is completely incomparable to the Goguryeo of the past. Facing the 40,000 Japanese people who occupied their own city, they were helpless.

It was very simple for Ming Dynasty to deal with this matter. Without saying much, he only needed to send 20,000 troops to wipe out the Japanese people again.

Of course, this depends on whether Zhu Xiongying wants to send troops to rescue Gao Li, the horse boy.

However... Regardless of other dynasties, during the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo's attitude towards the Central Plains is still very worthy of recognition. Whether it was the Wang family in the past or the Li family who later rebelled and took over the Wang family, they were all honest and loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Even in the Ming Dynasty, In times of difficulty, he also provided assistance to Ming Dynasty many times.

And this time Goryeo suffered an unreasonable disaster, all because the Ming Dynasty brought disaster to the Japanese country, and these Japanese bandits turned around and went to bring trouble to Goryeo.

Due to emotions and reasons, the Ming Dynasty should send troops to assist. After all, even if they can no longer understand the Goguryeo of the past and the sticks of later generations, the Goguryeo people are easier for the Central Plains to accept than the Japanese people.

Passing the memorial in his hand back to the chief eunuch, Cao Wei raised his head and looked at Zhu Xiongying.

"Gaoli and I, Daning, have always been honest in their relationship. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and nodded, "I think the same thing as Grand Master Cao. Goryeo is suffering from the unreasonable disaster of Ming Dynasty's attack on Dongyi Province, so it should be assisted."

After a pause, he continued:

"No matter what, the Japanese people are so ambitious that we must not give them another chance to recover. Otherwise... when the Japanese people really cannibalize Goryeo and replace it, there will be no peace on the Ming Dynasty's border."

Cao Wei cupped his hands and complimented: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Xiongying heard the politeness in Cao Wei's mouth, felt a little disappointed, and quickly joked:
"I cannot be where I am today without the cultivation of Grand Master Cao back then."

Sure enough, seeing Cao Wei's face warm up, Zhu Xiongying knew that it was right to play the emotional card.

"In this case, I gave the order to send troops to the Kingdom of Goryeo."

Cao Wei nodded and warned:

"It is certainly possible to send troops to aid Goryeo, but Ming cannot do a loss-making business based on a letter asking for help from him."

Zhu Xiongying quickly understood what Cao Wei meant. He was simply taking advantage of this opportunity to completely take control of the younger brother of Korea. Korea had to listen to Ming's decision regarding garrison and taxation.

Of course, Ming Dynasty would not use strong tactics against obedient younger brothers like Goryeo, but Ming Dynasty could also choose not to send troops, or to send troops and not use force.

The Kingdom of Goryeo is honest now, but that doesn't mean it will continue to be honest in the future. People change sometimes, let alone a country.

Maybe if Goryeo changes its ruler, it will suddenly turn against the Ming Dynasty. At this time, while the Ming Dynasty is strong enough and has enough voice, it is wise to completely take Goryeo into its hands.

"I heard that Master Cao is developing an emergency landing device in the scientific research institute these days?" Zhu Xiongying suddenly asked.

Cao Wei replied: "Yes, aircraft may malfunction and be dangerous while flying in the air. The emergency landing device can greatly improve the pilot's chance of survival."

"Thank you for your hard work, Grand Master Cao. The entire Ming Dynasty is all thanks to Grand Master Cao's hard work. A few days ago, Grand Master Cao said something about the enfeoffment system in the Ming Dynasty, which also benefited me a lot."

After saying all this, Zhu Xiongying turned the conversation to the main topic, as if it was just a pleasantries between the two of them.

After hearing this, Cao Wei cheered up and asked, "I wonder what your majesty thinks about it?"

Zhu Xiongying sighed heavily, "Alas..."

"It's a real dilemma."

"The kings of the Ming Dynasty are guarding various places, and they are the royal family of my Zhu family. I cannot ignore them. However, if the enfeoffment system is not changed, the Ming Dynasty will reap the consequences sooner or later."

Looking at Zhu Xiongying, who was wearing a dragon robe and frowning, Cao Wei couldn't bear it. He didn't establish the enfeoffment system, but he still had a headache for it.

"I wonder... does Grand Master have the best of both worlds?" Zhu Xiongying raised his head and looked at Cao Wei expectantly.

"There is indeed one minister to deal with, but it is not both possible." Cao Wei said calmly.

"Master, please speak."

"I would like to ask Your Majesty first, what are the differences between the Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties?"

Zhu Xiongying frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It's just that the system is different."

The biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty's system and previous dynasties is that power was concentrated to the extreme in the early Ming Dynasty. The difference was a series of measures to abolish the prime minister.

"Hahaha," Cao Wei laughed: "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. The Ming Dynasty had steam engines, railways, trains, wireless telegraphs, and now there are airplanes. These are the biggest differences from previous dynasties."

Zhu Xiongying's eyes suddenly widened and his body trembled suddenly.

"Master, you mean..."

"The reason why previous dynasties granted kings and marquises was because the imperial power could not go to the countryside. Due to the harsh conditions, the central court alone could not effectively control multiple areas."

"The central court and princes from various places have always had needs for each other. The court needs princes to guard the peace of various places. What the princes want is the financial and material resources of the court."

"Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has trains, planes, and wireless telegraphs. Whether it is information transmission or human transmission, it is countless times improved compared to previous dynasties."

"In this way, the central court's dependence on princes from various places will be greatly reduced."

"In the past, if the emperor had evacuated all the princes from all over the country, and there was no one to guard the place, it would have easily caused unrest. When the news reached the central court, it was unknown what the local situation had become, and the court would send troops again. To suppress the unrest, to put it simply, the time spent going back and forth is the most precious."

"But now, the Ming Dynasty has been able to realize real-time transmission of news. So I would like to ask again, do princes have to be enfeoffed?"

When Zhu Xiongying heard this, there was a loud bang in his head!
Yes, it’s so simple, why didn’t I think of it?
What matters is not the suppression of princes in various places, but the time for the transmission of information and manpower!
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has many means of transmitting information. When railways are laid across the country in the Ming Dynasty, human transmission will become simple and popular. What is the significance of the kings dividing their power and ruling each other?
