Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 315 How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?

When the court went up the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang briefly explained to the civil and military ministers the results of yesterday's afternoon meeting.

Since Zhu Yunwen personally drafted the decree this time, the civil servants all chose to acquiesce after receiving the news. It was rare for everyone to work together to accomplish something.

Zhu Ming did not forget to take this opportunity and said to the civil and military ministers in court: "I know that all the senior officials and relatives have a lot of fields in their homes, and they have also saved a lot of money and food. After a while, there were a large number of cattle and sheep. They will be sent to the capital. Don't even think about those horses. I am still short of horses in Yunnan, but I can only give them to the imperial court."

"Hmph," Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, you really don't want to give it, right?

Zhu Ming turned a deaf ear and continued: "Cattle are good things, they can cultivate the land. Mutton is even more delicious. If ministers are thoughtful, you can prepare money and food in advance to trade with me. Although our capital is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the temperature has begun to warm up. . But it’s the cold season on the grassland.”

"Since I have been officially elected as the Holy Khan by them, and I have promised to treat them grassland people equally, they are all my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, I cannot let them feel cold, let alone let any of my people of the Ming Dynasty starve to death."

"I can't say that one day the King of RB will tear open the Great Wall to completely integrate the Central Plains and the grasslands. He will also open a trading market between the two places to trade goods from both sides freely. They need our salt, iron and other things, and we can't do that too Get fur and meat? Especially horses from the grassland, which are important strategic materials."

Zhu Zhen expressed his thoughts and plans.

It is rare that this morning is quiet and harmonious.

As a result, Liu Sanwu shouted: "No, no, Your Highness. People who are not of my race must have different minds. Even His Majesty did not hesitate to rebuild the Great Wall in the past few years, even built a new city, and even set up a nine-sided city. How can you want to do so easily? How about destroying it?"

It turns out that during the Hongwu period, the Ming army once drove Beiyuan back to the depths of the Mobei grassland, and even broke through Yuan Dadu, and achieved a great victory in the Battle of Yuerhai.

However, the nomadic people on the grassland have never been honest and are still eyeing the border and are quite threatening.

However, with the strong national power and military power in the early Ming Dynasty, it now even occupies places such as Daning and Liaodong outside the customs.

So Zhu Yuanzhang established the first line of defense in a triangular defense posture with Daning Guard, Kaiping Guard and Dongsheng Guard, also known as the Ming Great Wall.

The main strategic goal of this line of defense is naturally to defend the Hetao area and to launch another expedition to Mobei at any time.

It can be said that "Dongsheng City was set up east of Sanjiang City and merged with Sanjiang City." It connects Kaiping, Dushi, Daning, and Kaiyuan to the east; it connects Helan Mountain and Gansu Beishan to the west, forming one side. If the terrain is straight, it will be close and easy to defend’.

It's just that this line of defense was completely destroyed with the abandonment of the Second Renxuan Sect, and the entire important Liaoxi Corridor has ceased to exist in name only.

The three Yongle ancestors and grandsons could not match the vision and means of Emperor Hongwu.

But now the Tatar grassland has been conquered from the west to the east by Zhu Chu, which is equivalent to recovering it in advance, and confirming that the territory of Inner Mongolia has been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ming naturally didn't take Liu Sanwu's words to heart, and only thought they were pedantic and stereotyped.

It's true that they are not from my race, but we can't kill all the prairie people, right? Who will graze the cattle in the future?

"Master Liu, don't talk too much. You are just a Confucian scholar with short-sightedness. How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?" Zhu Chu waved his sleeves and was too lazy to argue with him.

Liu Sanwu is now a Hanlin bachelor, so he is called this.

Liu Sanwu was also anxious: "Zhu Zian dares to slander my Confucianism again and again? Today I really want to ask for advice. If Your Highness can't tell me that you are ugly, I will die in this hall." On."

He was Liu Sanwu, he really dared to kill him.

"Zhen'er?" Zhu Yuanzhang could not speak anymore, and shook his head at Zhu Zhen, indicating that he would be patient for a while.

Liu Sanwu's reputation is still very good. He is known as the "Danweng Weng" and has no stain on his moral character. Moreover, as a Hanlin bachelor, there is no chance of corruption or bribery, right?

There is really no need to squeeze him to death.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also had his own plan. He wanted to use Liu Sanwu's reputation to rewrite books such as Confucius and Mencius, mainly to delete some content that was not conducive to imperial power.

But is Zhu Ming someone who can compromise casually? Li Shuran also wanted to use this method to scare himself at the beginning, but did he care?

So Zhu Zhen deliberately pretended not to see Zhu Yuanzhang's hint, looked at Liu Sanwu with a sneer, and said: "It just so happened that the court was too quiet this morning, and I am not used to it yet."

The civil and military officials in the court had strange expressions. The generals were suppressing their smiles, while the civil servants had dark faces.

"Your Highness, this is not a vegetable market," Zhuo Jing said, quite eager to come out and confront Zhu Chu again.

Zhu Ming glanced at him and said: "Young man is eccentric. If you have the ability, show it to me. If what I say next is wrong, you can come and impeach me again."

Zhuo Jing blinked and stopped talking.

It seems that Your Highness has everything in mind? Dandanweng may really be in trouble.

His Highness may appear to be wild and unruly, but in fact he has a hidden agenda. He often uses Confucian allusions to refute the views of Confucian scholars, which makes it hard for people to guard against him.

Zhuo Jing glanced at Liu Sanwu worriedly.

Liu Sanwu, on the other hand, raised his head and looked at Zhu Ming, as if to see what kind of truth he could tell.

Zhu Ming laughed angrily at his natural behavior, which was neither humble nor arrogant. He slowly said, "You still don't accept my words, how can you live like a dog even at your age?"

"楩儿," Zhu Yuanzhang called out again, feeling helpless and quite amused in his heart. This boy was really outspoken and dared to curse at anything.

Liu Sanwu was so angry that his face turned purple and red, and he said angrily: "His Highness has repeatedly humiliated me. If I can't give me an explanation, even if I don't dare to assassinate the king and kill you, at least I still have something." Dignity and reserve, I am afraid that the hall will be stained red by the veteran’s passion, and by then everyone in the world will demand justice for the veteran.”

"Okay, okay, since you are willing to die, I am willing to bury you," Zhu Zhen sneered again and again. How many people has he killed on the battlefield in the past few years? He can’t even remember it himself, so he’s still going to be intimidated by you, an old man?

Then, Zhu Chu no longer insulted, but started to talk: "The Tatar tribe is the result of my great efforts. On the one hand, I used strong force to intimidate them, and on the other hand, I used reform and ideological emancipation to capture their hearts. A two-pronged approach allowed the entire Tatar grassland to be conquered." All tribes surrendered one after another. I can say this, my name is more useful than their leader. As long as I am willing, I can remove the leader of any tribe at any time, and even assign anyone in this hall to be their leader at will. The new leader.”

"This is conquest. Now the people of the Tatar grassland have their hearts set on me. They are no longer the slaves of the leaders of the tribes, but the people of our Ming Dynasty and this king. Even if one day King RB wants to lead them to attack Oara and go to the Northern Expedition Wu Liangha, they are no problem. They even regained the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. You can directly enter the Eastern Chagatai Khanate from the grassland."

"I said you are a sparrow, but you still refuse to accept it. Today, most of the grasslands do not belong to us, and there are still countries in the Western Region that have not been recovered. Now is the time to further consolidate the hearts of the Tatars, and you are telling me that they are not my race? "

"If this is how I, the Ming Dynasty, treat the people who are willing to surrender, how is it different from the original system of the four people in the Northern Yuan Dynasty? Who will dare to surrender to us in the future? Who will be willing to surrender to us? Conquer the city to seek land, attack the heart first, and attack the city first. Down."

"Don't you think that the king just killed some people and occupied a territory, but when the king's troops return to the court, there will be rebellion there again?"

"I'm kidding. I only led an army of 15,000 people deep into the grassland. What can these people do? And I also brought 14,000 people back. At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of people from the grassland who voluntarily followed. They were the troops under my command at that time.”

"I have issued an order. From now on, the Tatar tribe will be an opportunity for our Ming Dynasty to completely capture the entire grassland, and it will also be an important force to conquer the world. Are you eager to kill important hawks and dogs before all the cunning rabbits are dead? I just want to I scold you for being short-sighted and you still don’t accept it?”

After Zhu Chu said a few words, the eyes and expressions of the civil and military officials in the court changed.

Even Liu Sanwu opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.

In fact, as Zhu Chu said, even if he shouted that he was some kind of holy khan, everyone thought that he, like Lan Yu, just burned, killed and looted from the grassland and came back with a lot of trophies.

But once he leaves the grassland, the grassland will become the same as before, and it will still be the enemy of Ming Dynasty.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said nothing, and only he knew that Zhu Yu used the so-called reform of the native tribes to return to the locals and emancipated their thoughts to wipe out the Tatar tribes. The biggest purpose of the reform was to completely eliminate the chieftain system and these The privileges of the leaders of the grassland tribes.

From now on, whether in Yunnan or the Tatar grassland, there will no longer be chieftains and so-called slave owners. Zhu Zhen is the biggest chieftain king and the holy khan of the grassland. All Yunnan chieftains and grassland people will only treat him. One takes orders.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang still glared at Zhu Ming, why bother to expose the longer-term strategic goals?

Looking at the civil and military officials of the court, they all looked at Zhu Ming in horror.

He actually wants to further capture Wala and even Uliangha? Wouldn't it be necessary to completely drive out the Mongol Empire?

Or even the Eastern Chagatai Khanate?

Oh my god, if these two major territories were captured, the size of the Ming Dynasty would probably double.

The generals were even more excited.

They originally thought that there would be no more wars in the future, at least since the battle of Lanyuyuerhai, they had not made any big moves for a long time.

I never expected that His Highness would be so ambitious. "Your Highness, I am willing to do my best," Feng Sheng said, his eyes burning brightly, his hands clasped in fists, and he did not hesitate to show his goodwill and even loyalty in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Highness, I can still go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Don't forget me in the future," Fu Youde also said with his hands folded, but he was a little conservative and did not dare to surrender in front of all the civil and military officials.

Guo Ying, Geng Bingwen, Ping An, Sheng Yong, Song Sheng and others also looked at each other and held their fists at Zhu Chu. Although they did not say a word, their goodwill was beyond words.

Moreover, since the Blue Jade case broke out last year, the military generals have become panic-stricken.

Because more than 15,000 people have been implicated, if Zhu Zhen hadn't protected Qu Neng, Qu Neng would not have been able to escape even in Sichuan. He would have been escorted to Beijing and interrogated.

However, historically it was Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, who protected Qu Neng at all costs, so this fierce general would not die too early.

"Uncle Eighteen, Uncle Eighteen, don't forget that you still have me," a voice shouted.

Zhu Ming turned around and saw that his face turned dark.

Who is it?

It was none other than that boy Li Jinglong.

You Ming God of War, you gave away all the half million troops for nothing, get out of here.

Zhu Zhen glared at him, then turned to the prominent generals and returned the favor with clasped fists.

There are at least three princes here. Don't forget that although Li Jinglong is not very capable, he has inherited his father's title and is also a prince.

The general's side became lively with excitement.

The faces of the civil servants on the other side were full of worried expressions.

Many people secretly looked at Zhu Yunwen's face and found that His Highness Taisun just looked at the generals crowding around Zhu Yu with a blank expression and said nothing.

Until Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it any longer, he coughed lightly and said: "Okay, okay, M'er, keep those words in your heart. And Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and Guo Ying, why are you also joining in the fun?" "

That's it? So simple? This can't even be called a lesson.

Two princes (not counting Li Jinglong) showed their allegiance to a vassal king. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you really have nothing to do with it? Aren't you afraid that they will support His Highness the King of Dian and rebel in the future?

How did they know that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to teach Zhu Chu how to rebel last night.

There are also Feng Sheng and Fu Youde. They are not stupid people. They were recalled to the capital this time and had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

Historically, they were killed inexplicably within two years at most after they were recalled to the capital.

Even Zhu Zhen had said before that they deserved to die.

However, history has been rewritten beyond recognition by Zhu Zhen. Even the Sanniangzi and Ada Khan are suspected to have been brought in advance by the corrective force of history to stop him.

Even what Zhu Zhen didn't know was that behind his back, Zhu Yuanzhang had approached Feng Sheng and Fu Youde in person and pointed out the clear path to them.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe that Zhu Yunwen could control them, and even wanted to kill them just to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen.

But Zhu Chu is different. This kid, I'm afraid all his brothers combined, are no match for him.

Even with the power he currently controls, even Zhu Yuanzhang lamented that if he hadn't been unable to attack him, he might have had a real attack.

Anyway, if he rebels in the future, he will also be an enemy of the world. If he kills himself and becomes emperor, will he be an enemy of the world?

If it weren't for his filial piety and unwillingness to kill his father and king, and his arrogance and domineering attitude that he didn't take anyone in the world seriously, I'm afraid he didn't take him seriously either, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, glared at Zhu Qi, and said: "Okay, the reward based on merit will be determined according to the previously agreed results. Yunwen, after the Xi'an troops enter Beijing, you will reward the entire army on my behalf."

"Yes," Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and agreed.

This was the result of yesterday's discussion, there was no surprise, but yesterday he was still a little happy, thinking that Grandpa Huang was going to help him bring benefits to this iron-blooded lion force, and wanted to surrender them himself.

But now, Zhu Yunwen only felt calm in his heart.

So what if we have this army? Grandpa Huang, you don’t want to act anymore. Do you want to give all the Ming generals to Uncle Eighteen?

They are loyal to Uncle Eighteen in front of you, but you can pretend to turn a blind eye?

You might as well just give him that seat.

It’s okay if you don’t want this throne.

Zhu Yunwen felt aggrieved.

Because he is the emperor's grandson, he is the crown prince, and he is the foundation of the country, but those generals turn a blind eye to him. What does this mean?

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen, as if he could see that he was resentful. He thought for a while and said, "Yunwen, I proposed to you the day before yesterday to marry Ma, the daughter of Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan. You are not young anymore. Choose a date." Let me get you engaged first and try to register your marriage this year."

Zhu Yunwen had no reaction yet.

Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan quickly came out and knelt down to thank him.

It can be said that this horse is not well-known, and even his life record is unknown. It is all because his daughter is the wife of Zhu Yunwen that he only left a trace.

It can be said that the father is superior to the daughter and has reached a higher level.

Otherwise, given Zhu Yunwen's status, I am afraid that he must at least have a noble status, or be a daughter of a big family, in order to be worthy of being married to Zhu Yuanzhang, right?

"By the way, father, the marriage of my son and minister," Zhu Min's heart moved, and he was about to mention the matter between him and Xu Miaojin again.

Zhu Yuanzhang blinked and winked at Huangmen Shilang.

"Retreat."

"Long live Long live Long live."

In the midst of shouting "Long Live Shan", Zhu Yuanzhang left directly.

Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded, no, is this ridiculous?

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself, "Back then, you refused and ignored Xu Da's daughter. Now, even if it doesn't make you unable to reach a high level, you won't be allowed to propose marriage so easily. Otherwise, how can you explain to Xu Da?"

At that time, in order to help Zhu Zhen regret his marriage, Zhu Yuanzhang personally spoke to Xu Da and even issued an imperial edict.

Do you want to regret it now? Do you have to break your promise? Are you thinking too much?

What's more, Zhu Chu's position has no rewards and no seals. He plans to continue to capture Oara and Ulyanha, and even the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Good guy, if he makes great achievements in the future, he might as well make you the emperor.

You have to leave a gap for 'error tolerance'.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Min's repeated calls and ran away as if running away.

All civil and military officials have their own thoughts.

Naturally, most of the civil servants gathered around Zhu Yunwen and prepared to leave.

But for the generals, they were supposed to leave as usual, but today was different from the past, most of them were clustered around Zhu Chu.

This scene seems to be clearly divided, as if the two His Highnesses are on different sides, creating a somewhat antagonistic atmosphere.

"Uncle Eighteen, congratulations," Zhu Yunwen came over and said with a complex expression: "From today on, the Ming army and the generals will all follow your lead."

Zhu Chu smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, His Majesty is still alive and well. We are just loyal to the country and His Majesty."

In fact, Zhu Zhen was also puzzled. Lao Zhu didn't seem to care about the generals showing favor to him, but he was very happy to see it happen?

Dad, do you really want to see me rebel?

Suddenly, Zhu Zhen looked ahead and shouted: "Oh, oh, oh, great scholar Liu, please don't die. Stop him quickly."

Good guy, Liu Sanwu was about to hit the pillar when no one was paying attention.

It would be terrible if he died.
