Jingnan Strategy

Chapter 278 Year Name Yongle

"I have heard that we have eliminated evil and hoeed away evil, and promoted the sacred motive. We have wings and scales. Fortunately, we meet in the wind and clouds. Our merits are outstanding and our virtues are revitalized."

"I compliment your Highness for your civility, military prowess, generosity, benevolence and filial piety. He is the direct heir of Taizu, the eldest king of the country, and a gifted person. The people look up to you as the Lord of Peace. In the past, you committed evil and evil, and brought misfortune to your vassal. Favoring the country..."

On the third day of May, after Zhu Di resigned again and again, the officials repeatedly urged him to enter Jiming Temple.

Although Zhu Gaoxu reminded him, Zhu Di still refused this time.

It was not until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that Zhu Di, led by Zhou King Zhu Di, who was escorted back to the capital, and eleven people including Zhou, Qi, Gu, Min, Liao, Dai, Han, and Tang, finally relented under the persuasion of the vassal kings in Beijing.

He walked out of Jiming Temple and looked at the thousands of officials and eleven vassal brothers who surrounded the Jiming Temple. He sighed:

"In the past, the fortunes of the Yuan Dynasty declined, the world was in chaos, the strong and the weak were devouring each other, and the people were without masters. God ordered me, the Emperor, to pacify the world, to provide for the people, to work hard, to create great achievements, to have feudal descendants, to last for eternity, how could I abandon my subjects for a long time? But the treacherous ministers will let their evil plans go unchecked, slaughtering the kings, and endangering the country."

"I was sick at the time, and my ambition was exhausted, but I just wanted to rest easy for the rest of my life. Once the army was surrounded, people were shocked and at a loss. The officials in the country said that it was difficult for Emperor Taizu to start a business, and the land for his mausoleum was not dry. The king is being punished one after another, why should I deserve it? I would rather just surrender and be killed?"

"I am hesitant, looking for survival, but the soldiers of the world are gathering day by day to press forward, and the situation is dangerous. I am still standing on the cliff of a thousand feet, and I am pushed down. Therefore, I have not gained myself. I have worked hard for hundreds of battles and survived in my life." Even if I die, I will purge the evildoers in order to bring justice to the young master. This is my true intention."

"The young master is not bright and has died in the sky. Now all the kings and ministers are urging me to ascend the throne. My throne in heaven is extremely difficult. I am as close as Jianwen Jun. I can't bear the load and fall into the Pi Tu. How can I be humble?"

"It is very difficult for Emperor Gaisi to start a business. He sincerely wants to choose the talented and virtuous king among the kings who can flatter the ancestral temple and establish it. The Lord is lucky to have this person and the world will be blessed. Although I face the north, I have no worries."

It was rare for Zhu Di to be eloquent. He said that he was not the kind of person who was greedy for the throne, so he had no choice but to raise an army. Now that he had eliminated the sycophants, he was satisfied.

When you are an emperor, you still have to choose a person with both ability and political integrity. If the ministers have their own candidates, feel free to recommend them.

When the world has a virtuous master, I will be very happy in the north.

Of course, the ministers did not believe what he said. Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, once again stepped forward to bow to him and shamelessly persuaded him four times: "Your Highness is a saint, and he is the eldest son. He should inherit the great cause and bring peace to the world. Although he is humble, Virtue is glorious, who will give it back?"

"And the destiny is there, who can say goodbye?"

"Your Highness should assume your position as soon as possible so that the common people can rely on the gods and the people. It is not appropriate for you to be humble and empty the world's hopes."

Li Zhigang had already praised Zhu Di to the heavens and the earth. Zhu Di originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Zhu Gaoxu said that he should inherit the throne early, he still pretended to be embarrassed.

"If that's the case, then I will temporarily take over the position. If people in the world don't like me in the future, I will choose someone with both ability and political integrity to replace me."

"Long live your majesty..." Upon hearing this, Li Zhigang immediately pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar, knelt down, and led the ministers and kings to shout long live the mountain together.

After enjoying it for a moment, Zhu Di started to talk about business.

He set his sights on the Yanfu soldiers who had been guarding Jiming Temple, Qiu Fu, Chen Wu, Tan Yuan and others, and then said:

"You have been conquered by me, and you have been hard-working and hard-working. Now that I have ascended the throne, how can I temporarily forget the merits of your soldiers?

"Those who have not received honorary rewards should not dare to use the courtesy of the temple in the suburbs. Each of them has made great achievements. Don't rashly add to it, and regret it if you take it."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, and said: "I ordered the Ministry of Rites to charge into the enemy's formation when facing an enemy, strike the flag and kill the general, or to suppress the enemy's formation, and the other troops to follow to defeat the enemy, or penetrate deep into the enemy's territory to find out their presence. Those who take advantage of all the troops to defeat the enemy, or those who are able to surprise and defeat the enemy in a fierce battle when victory or defeat is not yet decided, or those who attack many with a small number, or those whose other troops are controlled by the enemy and are able to lead the masses to rescue and defeat the enemy, are all considered miraculous achievements, and will be promoted to two class."

"Organize the troops carefully, and those who should defeat the enemy first, those who are not slow and have no faults, or those who go out to kill the enemy and silence them, or the latter who follow the army hall, will all be the first to achieve success and be promoted to a level."

"Those who recuperate in the middle of the journey or are weak and unable to join the army and serve as handymen will be regarded as minor meritorious service."

"Anyone who has made great contributions will be designated by me and the title will be announced to the world by the Ministry of Rites."

"I accept the decree!" Li Zhigang accepted the decree neither humble nor arrogantly. Seeing this, Zhu Di turned around and returned to Jiming Temple.

Not long after, he moved into the Forbidden City surrounded by his ministers, and Li Zhigang also began to make arrangements for his enthronement.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu was also busy with various matters, especially taking over the power of the world's soldiers and horses.

Song Sheng from the northwest quickly put down his military affairs and came to the capital after Zhu Di's imperial edict was conveyed.

As soon as he left, he surrendered on behalf of the four and four yamen in the northwest. Only Mu Chun and Qu Neng in western Yunnan and southern Sichuan were left in the world.

Qu Neng was informed that Zhu Yunwen had committed suicide before he arrived in Xuzhou, so he led more than 10,000 Xichuan soldiers under his command to wait in Xuzhou for more than half a month. Seeing that Zhu Di was about to ascend the throne, he submitted a memorial and led his troops back to Sichuan. Xingdu Division suppressed the local gangsters who interfered with the work of the mine.

Compared to him, Muchun's attitude was a bit more elusive.

However, the three Fu brothers and the Wang family's father and son had all defected. With fifty thousand men in his hands, he simply could not turn the tide. Therefore, he had no choice but to surrender, turn his troops around, and continue to attack Dao Gan Meng.

Without Zhu Yunwen's worries, the three Fu brothers no longer hindered him, but instead cooperated.

With their cooperation, it is only a matter of time before Dao Gan Meng is defeated, and Luchuan will split after Dao Gan Meng disappears.

For a time, all the military power in the world was taken back in the name of Zhu Gaoxu or Zhu Di. Except for the fifteen local guards of the five vassal kings, the military power in the world was firmly in the hands of the imperial court.

The only thing left is the issue of the year.

"The ministers chose a reign name of Yongqing for me, but I don't like it. It's too pure."

In Wuying Hall, Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair where Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen had sat, frowning at Zhu Gaoxu in front of him.

"Then what does father like?" Zhu Gaoxu chuckled. He had already guessed what Zhu Di was going to say.

"I like Yongle and hope that the people can be happy forever, but the people from the Ministry of Rites said that too many people have used this title, and few of them live long."

Zhu Di scratched his beard hard, feeling a little uncomfortable on his face.

Zhang Chonghua, Fang La, Zhang Yuxian, Gao Tande, Guo Zihe...

Why did this group of people use his reign name in advance, and they were either separatist or rebelling, and none of them succeeded.

"As long as my father likes it, why care about other people's opinions? Besides, since ancient times, there have been many duplications of reign names. As long as we achieve great achievements, who will remember that our predecessors used this reign name?"

"What's more, in terms of etiquette, there is no rule that the reign name cannot be repeated. As long as the father doesn't feel it, it does not violate etiquette."

What Zhu Gaoxu said is really true. When future generations mention Yongle, they can only think of Zhu Di, and a few people can only think of Fang La. As for Zhang Chonghua, Zhang Yuxian, and Gao Tande, future generations may not necessarily know the name of their regime or their country. .

"You're right to say that."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and then he turned to look at Wang Yan, who was currently the eunuch of the palm print: "Gouer, go tell Li Zhigang that I am going to be Yongle!"

"Yes..." Wang Yan agreed with a smile, and then sent someone to notify the Ministry of Rites.

Faced with such a situation, although Li Zhigang of the Ministry of Rites was a little speechless, he still felt at ease and settled on "Yongle" as the reign name of the new dynasty, and arranged Zhu Di's enthronement ceremony on May 17th.

As time passed by, when the time finally reached May 17, the bells and drums throughout the capital began to ring in unison.

Surrounded by five thousand civil and military officials and eleven kings, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, wearing royal robes, went to the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

Standing on the high platform, Zhu Di, wearing imperial robes, held a blessing in his hand, worshiped heaven and earth and began to recite:

"The successor emperor and his ministers dare to declare to the Haotian God and the Houtu Emperor. In the past, our emperor Kao Taizu Emperor Gao, during the chaos of the Yuan Dynasty, pacified the heroes, accepted the destiny of the Ming Dynasty, and the world was on the verge of death. The sea was peaceful for more than thirty years. …”

"The heir was allowed to ascend to the throne, he worshiped traitors, appointed political servants, changed the ancestral constitution, harmed the kings, and the disaster was about to reach the ministers. The ministers had no choice but to raise troops to clear away the evil on the side of the emperor, and asked for orders for all the surnames... …”

"Yun Wen abandoned himself to heaven and burned himself in the palace. I am grateful for the blessings of heaven and earth. My life is safe. The army and the people are at peace. The king and ministers recommended me to be the leader, but I dare not resign. I will take the throne as emperor on May 17th. I would like to use it. Today, I respectfully lead my officials to offer jade, silk, sacrifices, and Liang Sheng's items to the great sacrificial hall to prepare for the sacrifice."

"The Emperor Taizu, Emperor Gao, is the wife of a god, and his ministers should bear the weight of their weapons, never forgetting to be at peace with themselves. Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and he will always be with you..."

When the long blessing was finished and the sacrifice to heaven and earth was announced, Zhu Di descended from the high platform and rode in a large chariot, Zhu Gaoxu rode in a golden chariot, and the kings rode in elephant chariots. The ministers returned to the Forbidden City in chariots and horses and boarded the Fengtian Hall.

After the ministers entered the class and Zhu Gaoxu stood beside Zhu Di on the golden stage, Zhu Di began to issue the edict on the first day of his ascension to the throne.

"In the past, our emperor, Emperor Gao of Taizu, flew to Huaidian, flooded the area, reached Yuyuan in the east, crossed Kunlun in the west, crossed Nanjiao in the south, and bounded the vast sea in the north. The sound of benevolence and righteousness shocked the world, and suddenly refreshed the world. Xianji is bright..."

Zhu Di said a lot of polite words, and the simple understanding was that he would not retaliate against the Southern generals who were in trouble, and he did not think that all the ministers were sycophants who deceived Jianwen, so everyone could do things with peace of mind.

However, as the new king ascended the throne, many things also needed to be changed. Thinking of this, Zhu Di took out the imperial edict he had written after having a detailed discussion with Zhu Gaoxu and began to announce it to the ministers.

"With the beginning of the new dynasty, policies naturally cannot follow the old system, so I have many new policies that need to be promulgated..."

"1. The first and second years of Jianwen were changed to the thirty-second and thirty-third years of Hongwu. This year is the thirty-third year of Hongwu, and the next year is changed to the first year of Yongle."

"2. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, if there are any changes to the ancestral law, the punishment names will still be the old system and the punishment will be determined according to the Ming Dynasty laws."

"3. Since the first day of the sixth lunar month in the thirty-third year of Hongwu, officials, soldiers and civilians have committed treason and treason, murdering grandparents and parents, wives and concubines killing husbands, slaves and servants killing envoys, murdering people for conspiracy, and poisoning and poisoning. , except for poisonous murder and unforgivable crimes, others have been discovered or not discovered, corrected or not corrected, no matter how big or small the crime is, they can be pardoned. Anyone who dares to tell others about the past will be punished for their crimes. Sin."

"4. Since the fifth month in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, when the six prefectures of Zhou, Qi, Hunan, Dai, Min, and Su were falsely accused, civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians, etc. who were implicated in the crime will be reinstated, and the deceased civil officials will be reinstated. Those who are exempted from their families will be inherited by the descendants of the military attachés. Those who are sent to the army will be returned to their original hometowns as civilians. Those who are sent to the remote areas will be returned to the guard. Those who are slaves will be released to the Ning family, and their property will be returned to the official."

"Fifth, the number of people who have made salt, bought horses, served as station and served as prisoners for delivery, watermen, soap clerks, and cooks for the next year will all be pardoned and released to the Ning family."

"6. Anyone who wrote a statement during the Jianwen period and made any offensive remarks will not be considered. The regulations will be destroyed and all will be destroyed."

"7. Those who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, have talents and cherish virtues, are asked by officials to pay courtesy visits, and urge them to go to the capital to measure their talents and promote them. Those who have ambitions but are leisurely and unwilling to take up posts should come to hear them by name."

"8. For widowers and widowers who are lonely, the officials will take care of them in accordance with the regulations and will not let them lose their homes. Those who are over seventy years old or disabled are allowed to have a small servant to support them. If they are hungry and cold and cannot survive on their own, the officials will provide relief."

"9. People in Fuzhou and County of Shandong, Beiping, Liaodong, Henan, and Zhili who are unable to farm due to the military will be exempted from taxes for three years. Those who have not been exposed to the military will be exempted from the same tax as Fengyang, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Tuzhou, and Yangzhou in Zhili. This autumn and summer, all taxes and grains will be burned and exempted."

"The remaining Zhili Fuzhou, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces are exempted from half of the tax."

"There are those who owed a certain amount of grain, salt, horses, wood plants, reeds, etc. before the first day of June in the 33rd year of Hongwu, as well as horses, cattle, sheep, etc. raised by soldiers and civilians who died, as well as those who owed children and If you are exempted from the punishment, those who pursue compensation for their archers and cut down the reeds will be exempted for two years."

"Ten. For the displaced people in Henan, Shandong, Peiping, and Zhili, the local county government provided rations and arranged to move to Liaodong. Those who entered Liaodong were exempted from taxes for three years of land reclamation. Seeds and cattle tools were paid by the officials. Each person had five rations per load. Stone will also be paid by the government."

"On October 1, schools in the north will still be open and will not be neglected."

"Twelve..." "Twenty-six. The king of Bohai County has both political integrity and talent. I have made him the crown prince. The crown prince is in frail health. Emperor Taizu Gao has made him the crown prince, temporarily acting as the king of Yan. I will change the vassalship in the future."

Zhu Di announced 26 new policies in one breath, most of which dealt with issues left over from the Jianwen period, and a few dealt with issues left over from the Hongwu period, such as tax adjustments in various provinces, the establishment of the Liaodong Sansi Yamen and the Bohai Dusi, and the establishment of the Peking Commission. Waiting.

After various problems and solutions were announced, Ming Dynasty successfully evolved into two capitals and fourteen provinces.

Zhu Di also made specific adjustments to the tax collection situation in the two capitals and fourteen provinces.

First of all, the tax rate for Tianxia Tianxia is 30 million shi, of which the summer and autumn tax rate for southern Zhili is 7.5 million shi, which is 400,000 shi higher than before.

Zhejiang's three million shi is 250,000 shi higher than before.

Jiangxi's three million shi is 350,000 shi higher than before.

Huguang's 2.5 million shi is 40,000 shi higher than the original stipulation.

Sichuan's 1.2 million shi is 150,000 shi higher than the original.

In addition, the remaining Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan have two 1 million stone, one 300,000 stone, and one 500,000 stone respectively, which are basically reduced by 100,000 to 300,000 stone.

As for the north, Shanxi's burden has been reduced from 2.8 million shi to 2.5 million shi, Shandong has been reduced from 250 to 2.3 million shi, Henan has remained at 2.2 million shi, and Beizhili has controlled Among the one million shi, Shaanxi 1.6 million shi and Liaodong 400,000 shi.

The above total amounts to 3 million shi. Among them, the situation in the three provinces of Jiangnan and Beijing increased, the overall situation in the north decreased, and the situation in the southwest and central south decreased.

When this policy was announced, the mouths of many civil servants in the temple twitched. They had already thought about how much pressure there would be on the lower levels after the change of land tax.

They will feel that there is a lot of pressure down there, not because they are worried about the people, but because Zhu Gaoxu has done something that sucks the firepower out of the cauldron.

On May 15, two days before Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhu Gaoxu established the Taxation Department, which was under the Ministry of Household Affairs and took over the task of clearing land and land from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

On the same day, Zhu Gaoxu organized 3,000 Bohai officials from the ninth rank into the Taxation Department according to their abilities, and sent 30,000 horse infantry into 100 teams to escort the Taxation Department officials to start surveying and dividing the land in Zhili.

In other words, Zhili will begin to divide the land situation. The original "upper, middle and lower" households are no longer responsible for the local li chief and grain chief, but are responsible for the taxation department officials. The li chief and grain chief are only responsible for the tax according to the tax. Division officials divided the fields to harvest grain separately.

Although there are still certain loopholes that can be exploited in this way, everyone knows what kind of character Zhu Gaoxu is.

If he dares to do this, he won't be afraid of anyone taking advantage of the loophole.

There are 80 million acres of cultivated land in Zhili. It is not easy to measure and divide it with more than 30,000 people. However, for Zhu Gaoxu, he has plenty of time to waste it slowly with these people.

Because under Zhu Di's policies, schools in the north began to be reestablished, and Zhu Gaoxu would naturally not forget his Liaodong.

Liaodong currently has a population of more than 1.5 million. With the relocation of Denglai and Qingzhou prefectures, the population in the Northeast will continue to increase.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu established five prefectures and twenty-six counties in Liaodong, four prefectures and ten counties in Bohai, and one county in each city of the six cities. Daning was absorbed into the Peking Union. As Daning Prefecture, five prefectures were established. county.

In general, if the three state capitals in Shandong are not included in the places directly under his control, there are ten prefectures and 41 counties in total outside the customs, with more than 1.5 million people.

Therefore, he planned to set up 164 county schools and 300 town schools to accommodate approximately 300,000 students.

If this happens, Northeast China will become a literary style region second only to Jiangnan, but this 'writing style' is different from that of Jiangnan.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't need so many poems and songs, he didn't even need policy discussions. What he needed were basic officials who could serve as tax officials.

Of course, he was not prepared to tell outsiders about the situation in the Northeast. Even in the memorial, although the Northeast has established the Third Division of Liaodong, the local area is still managed according to a militarized management model.

If he holds it back for five or six years, sooner or later he will give a little shock to the squires in Jiangnan.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes behind Mianqi kept scanning the officials, full of intimidation.

He was granted the title of Crown Prince. This was something that everyone expected. However, the fact that Zhu Gaochi, the former crown prince, was actually granted the title of Prince of Yan was shocking.

If Zhu Di hadn't said that he would change the title after changing the fiefdom in the future, it would probably be a fight between the small sect and the big sect.

Even Zhu Gaoxu had just learned about this. Obviously, this was a temporary change by Zhu Di.

It's normal to think about it. Zhu Gaochi was awarded the title of King of Yan. That was Zhu Yuanzhang's intention. No one would dare to refute this.

However, being named King of Yan does not mean that it cannot be changed. Moreover, Zhu Di's lineage is the King of Yan himself. If Zhu Gaochi continues to be King of Yan, it will inevitably involve a dispute over etiquette and law.

Therefore, temporarily acting as King of Yan is equivalent to acknowledging Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas, but it needs to be changed later, which is not a big problem.

After the ministers and kings thought clearly, they continued to look at the nose with eyes and the mind with nose.

After all, it was the enthronement ceremony, and Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu were both born immediately, so no one dared to stand up and disobey.

Therefore, Zhu Di's new policy was promulgated, but how it will be implemented depends on the cooperation of local provinces.

"Retreat from the court..."

As the ministers of Honglu Temple sang loudly, and the ministers also pushed up the golden mountains and poured out the jade pillars, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu turned around and left.

The father and son changed into their regular clothes in the back hall. Zhu Di was wearing a robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves. Although Zhu Gaoxu was the same, their patterns were different.

After changing into a robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves and a Yishan crown, Zhu Di's impression on Zhu Gaoxu was no different from the portrait in later generations.

The father and son each took a large carriage or a golden carriage to the Wuying Palace. After arriving, they got off the car and entered the palace.

At the same time, the awards for meritorious officials planned by the Ministry of Rites were also being carried out in Wuying Hall.

A total of 16,657 military attachés received credit, but only 345 were able to enter the outer court.

Among these 345 people, Bohai accounts for two-thirds and Yanfu accounts for one-third.

They were still wearing the original grade facial features robes. It was not until the Ministry of Rites arranged the scene that a golden table was carried out of the entrance of Wuying Hall.

Zhu Di walked out and sat down, while Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward with the imperial edict.

"Snapped!!"

The sound of the Jin Yiwei's clean whip exploded, and the military attachés seemed to have received the message and knelt down to bow.

"The following seven people have been awarded Fengtianjing Nantianchengxuanliwuchen, special promotion to Ronglu doctor, Youzhuguo..."

Zhu Gaoxu sang the edict and read out the names of seven people at the same time.

"The British Duke Zhang Yu is the right commander of the left army governor's mansion."

"Zhu Neng, Duke of the State of Cheng, is the Commander-in-Chief of the Zuo Army."

"The Duke of Qi State, Qiu Fu, is the right commander of the Central Military Command."

"Yang Zhan, Duke of the State of Yue, is the right commander of the rear army commander's office."

"Meng Zhang, Duke of Liao State, is the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Command of the Rear Army Commander's Mansion."

"Shen Guogong Wang Yi, the right commander of the former military governor's mansion."

"Ning Guogong Chen Heng, the left governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion."

No one was too surprised about the seven people who were awarded the title of duke. After all, they had made the greatest contribution in this battle of peace.

It's just that the heroes belong to the Yanfu and Bohai factions, so they all have some doubts about the other party's achievements.

This kind of doubt is mainly based on Bohai's questioning of Yan Mansion. After all, Bohai has the largest territory and directly captured the capital.

In comparison, although the Yan Mansion also killed nearly 100,000 enemies, it was still difficult to overwhelm the Bohai Sea.

Fortunately, there is currently no conflict of interest among everyone, so they all focus on the next canonization.

In the ensuing canonization, ten people including Zhang Wu, Chen Gui, Zheng Heng, Meng Shan, Huo Zhen, Wang Zhong, Xu Zhong, Zhang Xin, Li Yuan and Tan Yuan of the Yan family were awarded the title of marquis.

Ten people from Bohai, including Cui Jun, Chen Chang, Xu Sheng, Ta Shi, Doer Heqi, Nyimacha, Talachi, Fang Kuan, Chen Xuan and Yang Qiu, were granted the title of marquis.

Further down, fifteen people including Guo Liang, Fang Sheng, Tan Zhong... from Yan Mansion were awarded the title of earl, and fifteen people including Zheng Jun, Chen Mao, Sun Cheng and Hu Lun from Bohai were awarded the title of earl.

Soon, the canonization of seven princes, twenty marquises, and thirty earls came to an end.

The rewards for the heroes and soldiers of the Jingnan Campaign were also distributed after the reading of Zhu Gaoxu's decree.

Facing the golden seals conferring uniforms and titles, everyone's eyes were burning.

Looking at them, Zhu Gaoxu thought of Fu Rang, Zhang Chun, Lin Su and others in the south who missed the credit this time, but soon a smile appeared on his lips again.

Because he knew very well that the end of the Jingnan Campaign did not mean the end, but a new beginning.

He wants to expand Ming's territory to the extreme while increasing productivity!

　"Records of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty": "In the fifth month of Renyin, I went to the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, that is, the throne of emperor, and the reign name is Yongle."

　　"Records of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty": "In the fifth month of Renyin, the emperor made the emperor the crown prince and the crown prince the king of Yan. The third son was still young, so he did not give the title."
