Chapter 406: North Korea’s reaction

Beijing is extremely hot in October.

After all, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is now Nanjing, Yingtian.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Zhen had already begun to lead the army to the northwest.

However, the memorial regarding his comprehensive capture of Tibet was not sent to the capital until this time.

"Good news, good news. Great victory in the northwest and southwest."

As this good news was sent to the DPRK, many people looked at a loss.

Where did the good news come from? Where did the war come from?

Not to mention the other civil and military ministers in the court, Qi Tai, who is the Minister of War, all looked confused.

As the Minister of War, the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the world requires their order from the Ministry of War.

A great achievement that shocks the master?

But the problem is, he has no idea where the war is coming from.

Once it is confirmed that Zhu Chu started this war because he was so happy about his achievements, let alone the whole army has no achievements, I am afraid there will be another one.

"There was a war in Tibet. The Black Erhuo of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate led an army of 450,000, claiming to be 500,000, and suddenly invaded Tibet, intending to defeat Uzangdusi in one fell swoop."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said: "This boy is exactly the same as when we were young."

Now he has completed his marriage, but the Ma family is not from a famous family, nor is it a newly rich man. It can be said that he cannot borrow any help from his relatives.

Suddenly, Zhu Ming's reputation began to change, and even many ministers who had not thought of this incident began to discuss it in low voices.

This is not yet an effort to mobilize all of Yunnan.

Your Majesty, you might as well be more direct and pass the throne to him as emperor.

This makes him very passive.

This made Qitai panic. Could it be that he was under suspicion? Is it even possible to become the minister who was killed after Lan Yu?

It was not until the morning of the next day that Zhu Yuanzhang personally explained the content of the victory report.

As the minister of Taichang Temple, Huang Zicheng immediately understood. Regardless of Zhu Yuanzhang still praising 'my tiger son', he walked out of the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the King of Dian is extremely crazy. He should issue an order to teach him a lesson." yes."

This time Zhu Chu inspected the world, although he beat and punished several aristocratic families along the way, arrested a few corrupt officials, put down pirates, and started to recover the treasure island in advance.

Of course, without His Majesty's will, they can't transfer them privately.

"What's more, Tibet is full of poverty, and the Tibetan people are suffering from hunger and cold. Why do we need to spread the reputation of such a barbaric land that is not conducive to our country of gentlemen? The King of Dian is so happy to achieve great success, and it is unjust to harm His Majesty. Please make an edict from Your Majesty. Punishment, to show imitation," Huang Zicheng even wanted to accuse Zhu Chu of being a great success, in order to erase Zhu Chu's achievements.

Others don't know it, but Zhu Yuanzhang actually feels the same as Ming Jing.

So Zhu Yunwen glanced at Huang Zicheng secretly.

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head, his expression gloomy, and his hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched.

In this way, Tibet became an indivisible territory of the Ming Dynasty, no different from the provinces and prefectures of the Central Plains.

"It just so happened that my tiger king, King Dian, came to Yunnan during his inspection of the world, and please don't forget, dear friends, King Dian is the king of Yunnan. So Chu'er led the Yundi troops totaling 560,000 into Tibet, and not only defeated The ambitions of the black Erhuo people, and wiped out all the chieftains in Tibet in one fell swoop, in order to reform the native land and implement the imperial policy."

This was only the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, and it was only more than two years since Zhu Biao passed away.

Moreover, Zhu Chu's reputation is getting higher and higher. If he continues to make meritorious deeds, he will probably become even more arrogant than Lan Yu at the beginning.

However, Zhu Chu has been making meritorious deeds along the way for more than half a year since the end of the year, and his reputation has already spread abroad.

Huang Zicheng suddenly had a sudden idea in his heart. He opened his mouth, but did not dare to continue speaking.

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced over coldly.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang be unhappy?

No, no, no, he is His Majesty's son. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has become one of my tiger cubs, he might as well just change his position to a crown prince.

"Your Majesty," Liu Sanwu ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's expression of calmness and self-presence, as if he wanted to eat someone, and stood beside Huang Zicheng. He cupped his hands and said, "I also think that the Dian King's move is inappropriate. It should be noted that no matter which Both Uszang Dusi and Duogan Dusi were entrusted by the imperial court and your Majesty yourself. Now, regardless of the vassal relationship between Tibet and the imperial court, His Highness took advantage of the opportunity to lead an army to invade, and even wiped out all the officials in Tibet. And empty. Once this matter spreads out, how will other subordinates in other places view our Ming Dynasty?"

"This is an unparalleled achievement, hahahaha."

I'm afraid that millions of soldiers are really not a boast. If Zhu Chu wants to rebel one day, how should Taisun respond?

But Zhu Chu's real goal was to rush all the way to the southwest. His goal was to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, enter Tibet in one fell swoop, and completely incorporate Tibet into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially when I think of what Zhu Chu has done along the way, every single thing is worth writing about.

Not to mention that other vassal princes were suppressed by him, and he even vaguely had the reputation of catching up with the former prince.

If this continues for a long time, Zhu Yunwen cannot imagine how famous this eighteenth uncle will be.

Nowadays, Tibet is no longer the place where the so-called restraint system is implemented. Once the land-returning system is fully implemented, the imperial court can send officials to govern it at any time.

In fact, what worries Huang Zicheng and a group of supporters of the Taisun Party even more is that Zhu Chu raised more than 500,000 troops from Yunnan alone this time.

The civil and military ministers looked at each other in shock.

But at this moment, another veteran stood up. It was none other than Tan Tanweng Liu Sanwu.

Who in the world doesn’t know that the King of Dian is a wise king and a wise king, and he can be said to love his people like a son.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, looking very happy.

Huang Zicheng also hurriedly said: "What Mr. Liu said is true, Your Majesty. Apart from that, the Duoyan Sanwei in the Northeast and Korea are also vassal states of our Ming Dynasty. Once His Highness the Dian King's move produces an excessive reaction, it can be What should I do?”

This is absolutely unacceptable.

So the civil servants in the court began to criticize him verbally and writing.

Compared with the excitement among the civil servants, the military generals seemed much quieter. All of them were nobles with titles or generals with important military positions. They just watched with cold eyes. Not only were they not worried at all, but they sneered secretly.

Even Xu Da and Tang He closed their eyes, too lazy to say a word to the worried prospective son-in-law.

Just kidding, we will tell you that His Majesty has secretly begun to raise soldiers, horses, and food to prepare an army of 500,000 for His Majesty the King of Dian, and is ready to cooperate with His Majesty in the expedition to the Saibei grassland at any time?

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde looked at each other and shook their heads with a sinister sneer.

The two of them were already in danger. In recent years, they have only been training troops and have no chance to unite them.

Even when I entered Beijing years ago, I was already prepared to die.

But this time, they will be His Highness's right-hand men, His Highness will be the commander-in-chief, and they will be his lieutenants.

It's great to fight in the northern part of the Great Wall and to fight the steppe Tatars again.

Many other generals are also as stable as Mount Tai.

The civil servants were still shouting at this time: "Your Majesty, the King of Dian was sent away to serve as a vassal when he was young. I'm afraid he lacks discipline. If he is allowed to continue to behave like this, he may make a big mistake."

"Haha, hahaha, it's me, the father, who failed to discipline my son and let you worry about it," Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, which was an angry smile.

Aren't these bastards just cursing themselves in a roundabout way?

It's the fault of a son for not teaching his father, so he might as well point his finger at me and scold me Zhu Yuanzhang.

The civil servants were shocked. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's cold glance, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak out.

"You are indeed right, you idiots, you read the books of saints and sages, you talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in your belly you are filled with dirty selfish interests, not to mention male thieves and female prostitutes, but none of them are doing it for their own gain. Abacus?" Zhu Yuanzhang was angry.

He suddenly remembered Zhu Zhen's favorite saying in the past, that is, if you are shameless, then don't be shameless.

Why do you need shame?

Doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang know what these people want to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Yunwen, please tell me whether your eighteenth uncle has made a merit or a mistake this time."

Zhu Yunwen, who originally wanted to stay out of the matter, was called out by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, so he had to raise his head and said: "My grandson thinks that the concerns of the ministers are reasonable. Uncle Eighteenth's move was a bit ill-considered."

He did not answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question directly, but chose to stand on the side of the civil servants.

After all, the civil servants were fighting for him, so how could he take the lead in betraying his own position.

Zhu Yunwen thought he was smart, but he didn't notice the disappointment in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen and wondered if he was wrong. He thought he had established the Ming Dynasty and there would be no more wars in the future. The country needed to recuperate and the people also needed a benevolent king.

So he gave the eldest son, Prince Zhu Biao, who had high hopes to him, to the great scholar Song Lian for education.

As a result, Zhu Biao did develop the character of a kindhearted king and treated his brothers with respect.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that a fool like Zhu Chu would suddenly appear.

What made Zhu Yuanzhang even more unexpected was that not only did Zhu Yu hide his secrets deeply, but his ambitions, or ambitions, far exceeded his imagination. Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that this old man, whom he had never paid attention to, would be the son who was most like him.

Is Tibet Zhu Chu’s goal?

These guys who are eager to jump out to attack Chu'er, have they ever thought that Chu'er's ultimate goal is the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Even the entire Western Region and the entire Mobei Grassland.

This battle is just the beginning, not the end yet.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the map that Zhu Zhen showed him before leaving.

Thinking that the Ming Dynasty would more than double in size, I couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked extremely tired.

"Are you so cowardly as a mouse?" Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed disappointment, and his tone was quite helpless.

Chicken-hearted?

The civil servants were puzzled as to why His Majesty suddenly said such a thing?

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen, pointed to the line of generals on the other side, and said: "The generals of the Manchu Dynasty are still there, and our Ming Dynasty has not yet released Nanshan. Even if it is like what you said, if other vassal states are determined to rebel, Why not send a large army to completely suppress it and wipe it out?"

"You have to know that they are afraid of our Ming Dynasty, so they want to become our vassals. They are the ones who pay tribute and become vassals. How come they are afraid of you?"

"Do you know why Chu'er wants to use troops against Tibet? Because Tibet only pays tribute, not taxes. It is nominally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it can leave at any time, or even use troops against us."

"How can you allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the bed? Don't you even understand this truth? Tibet is now my Ming Dynasty territory, and officials can be sent to manage it at any time in the future. Such unparalleled achievements have become a crime in your mouth. "

"Don't think that we don't know your thoughts. We haven't reached the point where we are old and dim. How can I agree if you want to harm my son? Have you forgotten that we can kill people?"

The Ming Dynasty was not like the Song Dynasty. If it defeated a foreign enemy, it would give money, food and women. If it lost, it would give money, food and women.

In the Ming Dynasty, if there is no kinship, no tribute, no surrender, no compromise, the emperor will guard the country and the king will die in the country.

Although there was also an unfilial son Zhu Qizhen, who was jokingly called the God of War of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

But you must know that Zhu Qizhen did not open the city gate. The ambition and blood of the Ming Dynasty were still there. He neither imitated the Song Dynasty in moving the capital nor compromised on it.

Even if Wanli didn't go to court, he would have been forced by these parties and civil servants with many partisans.

What's more, just because Wanli doesn't go to court doesn't mean he doesn't do things, it just means he's too lazy to pay attention to the quarrels of these guys.

In the Wanli Dynasty, these civil servants could not afford to make trouble.

So Zhu Yuanzhang was really disappointed with Zhu Yunwen at this time. Is this how these Confucian scholars trained the prince?

How can you be the king of a country like this?

You haven't fought yet, are you scared now?

Are you actually afraid of your own country? What's the point?

Do you want to be so groveling? Do you want to learn from the Song Dynasty? To be someone's son?

"Liu Sanwu," Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the old guy again, furious: "You are a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, how come you are involved in everything? I think you are stupid because of your studies? What if I, the Ming Dynasty, become weak from now on? If you don't dare to fight, you will be a sinner through the ages."

Liu Sanwu opened his mouth, but in the end he could only bow his head and retreat speechlessly.

Liu Sanwu was quite knowledgeable. He wanted to make Ming a country of modest gentlemen.

But Zhu Yuanzhang made it so clear, how dare he continue to argue.

How can we only care about the so-called gentleman's style in national affairs?

The Song Dynasty was a gentleman, but was destroyed by the Tatars.

"This matter will no longer be discussed, and you will know later how great my son Zhu Chu's ambitions are," Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to continue talking and announced his resignation on the spot.

But his words still caused some people to speculate.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to prepare an army of 500,000 troops and sufficient supplies of food, grass and baggage for Zhu Chu. It was impossible to completely conceal it.

So soon, Zhu Yunwen received the news.

"Does your Majesty want the King of Dian to rebel?" Qi Tai didn't know what he was thinking. He actually thought that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to personally help Zhu Zhen rebel.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Qitai, thank you for your words.

Qitai also belatedly realized how outrageous his idea was.

The main reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang dispatched troops and generals in private, completely bypassing the Ministry of War.

This gave Qitai a sense of crisis.

"I'm afraid there are many things we don't know," Zhu Yunwen sighed.

He is just the grandson of the emperor, he is said to be the crown prince, but he cannot match the status that his father Zhu Biao had when he was the crown prince.

Even when Zhu Biao was still there, he did not say that he completely controlled the government. Zhu Biao could not decide many things.

Not to mention the Jin Yiwei, who have eyes all over the world. They are the troops directly under Zhu Yuanzhang, and others cannot interfere.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen can be said to know nothing about Western wars.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't guess where the half-million-strong army secretly prepared by Zhu Yuanzhang would be transferred.

"Could it be the northern grassland?" Zhu Yunwen could only make random guesses.

Not to mention, he really guessed it.

"Your Highness, do you want us to make some preparations?" Qitai said suddenly.

After all, he is the minister of the Ministry of War. Once he really wants to activate this army, he will not be able to bypass the Ministry of War. If he wants to, he can still do something.

Zhu Yunwen was moved for a moment.

But in the end, Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said: "Don't act rashly. These are the soldiers and horses prepared by Grandpa Huang for Uncle Eighteen. I'm afraid they will be of great use. If we do something, it will be fine if it succeeds. If it fails, I'm afraid it will be of great use." To fall into a place of no return.”

Zhu Yunwen knew that once he made a move, he would be absolutely sure and would completely eliminate his eighteenth uncle with the power of thunder.

Otherwise, you must always be patient and never let yourself fall into passivity.

The fight in the court was nothing, it was within a reasonable range.

If he dared to do anything in this matter, it would be okay if he was not discovered. But if his decisive and decisive emperor found out, he would be doomed.

He is still the grandson of the emperor, so at least he is still invincible. But if Grandpa Huang takes the opportunity to seize the opportunity and destroy him, it will be all over.

So Zhu Yunwen warned Qi Tai: "You must not take action."

Qitai had no choice but to agree.

Meanwhile on the other side.

After Zhu Chu left Gu Wen and Qu Neng, as well as Qu Neng's 50,000-strong army to guard Tibet, he also promoted the return of native land to local people and changed the minds of the Tibetan people.

He continued to lead the army and began to march towards the eastern Chagatai Khanate.

It was now October of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu. Including the previous September, Zhu Zhen had harvested a large amount of resources within two months.

First in September, on the way to the battlefield in Lhasa, Zhu Chu harvested 12.21 million resources, bringing the total resources to 179.2 million.

Later, in this month, the entire territory of Zhu Zhen's collection was added, and the name of his great Bodhisattva was added, which convinced the people one after another.

If this were placed in a fantasy worldview, I'm afraid it would start to take advantage of the power of incense and faith.

This also led to Tibet being included in Zhu Chu's territory, and there were 400,000 people in Tibet.

Don't look at the fact that Lhasa claimed to have 250,000 troops before. In fact, all the surrounding serfs were gathered here.

Therefore, the population of Uzzandusi is about 200,000.

Duogan Dusi is similar.

The entire territory of Tibet is very large. Even excluding the no-man's land of the northern Tibetan grassland, the entire territory is not inferior to that of Yunnan.

But the population is not at the same level at all.

It is enough to see that those nobles are simply guilty.

As Tibet was included in Zhu Chu's sphere of influence, the total population reached 12.61 million.

Therefore, the resources harvested in October were 12.61 million, and the total resources reached 191.81 million.

In addition to such a huge resource card, as Muchun and other troops fought against Duogan Dusi, Zhu Zhen also increased his force value by 50,000.

It also brought his force value to 760,000.

These are Zhu Chu's confidence, which makes him more confident to win the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

"I will take you to experience the beauties of Xinjiang."

Zhu Zhen shouted loudly, which caused the howling of wolves, and also attracted the eye rolls of the three beautiful wives.

It seems like I have to keep draining it.
