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

Chapter 428 Show you the world map
Zhu Ming has been creating surprises for his brothers.

If I was shocked before, I am happy now.

Choose the heir to the crown prince among all the descendants of the clan?

What kind of gameplay is this?
Why do you think everyone is fighting so hard to get the throne? Isn’t it to give future generations a future?
Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi would rather leave the shadow of the candle shadow and axe, which will be infamy for eternity, than forcefully ascend the throne and seize the throne from his brother.

At this point, the lineage of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin fell into decline, and the throne fell to his family.

Why are all the kings so resistant to Zhu Chu's ascension to the throne? If you, the eighteenth-year-old, can ascend the throne, then can I, the nineteenth-year-old, too?
Every prince is tempted. If possible, who wouldn’t want to give it a try?
What if I win? What if he ascends the throne?

Wouldn’t that soar into the sky? The entire family tree has soared.

Even if it's not for yourself, you still have to fight for the sake of future generations.

But when Zhu Chu suddenly said these words, and even swore a poisonous oath, people were at a loss.

"Old Shiba, what are you going to do?" Even Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with questions.

I, No. 18 Zhu, am said to be able to establish a virtuous person rather than a direct descendant. Since I can be the emperor, then if the descendants of other clans have outstanding people, they can naturally become the new crown prince.

Zhu Yunwen was shocked and looked at Zhu Ming in disbelief.

How much does it cost just to support them every year?
I have previously calculated Zhu Chu's annual salary. As a border guard prince, his salary is 50,000 shi meters per year, 25,000 guan coins, 200 jins of salt, 1,000 jins of tea, 300 pieces of silk, yarn, One hundred pieces each of Luo, five hundred pieces of silk, and one thousand pieces each of winter and summer cloth. There is also fifty horse fodder per month.

In the end, Uncle Eighteen not only didn't care about him, he even planned to give himself a chance to become emperor?

Zhu Di almost didn't curse, that's my son, my son, if you want a son, give birth to him yourself.

And after all, Zhu Yunwen is the emperor's grandson in name, so even if he is deposed, it will not be easy to deal with him.

Twenty princes would spend two million taels every year.

real or fake?

"Fourth brother," Zhu Ming called Zhu Di sincerely, "there is no need for us brothers to keep arguing. I heard that your heir apparent has a reputation for benevolence, so why don't you give it to me. I will train him to be a good emperor in the future."

Even if Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and Huang Guan can be eliminated this time, there are still many people in the court who support Zhu Yunwen. This is certain.

One is to give Zhu Biao an explanation. Even if there is a spirit after death, even if he meets his elder brother under Jiuquan in the future, Zhu Biao can still say with confidence that I have lived up to his benevolence and righteousness.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark. Are you telling me this now?
Do you want me to slap your big white legs?
"As I said before, no one could have predicted the death of eldest brother." Zhu Zhen mentioned Zhu Biao again, still full of sighs and regrets: "Only if my father is on top, or if eldest brother ascends the throne, can the vassal like us be tolerated." King. Otherwise, no matter who it is, whether it is Yunwen or my fourth brother, if they come to power, they will cut down the vassalage."

Is there a conspiracy here?

There are all ethnic minorities there, and the ethnic minorities are good at singing and dancing, especially the Miao girls, who are really beautiful, juicy and lively.

As Zhu Chu himself said, if Jiang Wei hadn't stepped forward in time under the city gate, even if he really killed those soldiers, would he still be able to hack Zhu Yunwen to death?
After all, he was also Zhu Biao's child. Even for the sake of his eldest brother, he had to save his life and spare him at least once, otherwise he would feel guilty.

Just twenty-five thousand guan of money, a guan of money is equivalent to one tael of silver.

If others don’t know, doesn’t he himself know?
He wanted to imitate Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and launch the Xuanwu Sect Revolution, but he planned to kill Uncle Eighteen.

"Also Yun Wen, although you were reckless this time, you still need to pay the price. But as we just said, you still have a chance to be an emperor. But you have to follow us and learn how to be a good emperor. From now on, stay away from those Stay away from Confucianism, Confucian methods are used to fool the people, they don't understand the emperor's methods," Zhu Ming turned to Zhu Yunwen behind him and said something.

In the end, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could also be convinced.

It was inevitable to reduce the vassal status. Zhu Yuanzhang divided each of his sons into three batches and made each of his sons king.

But there are too many princes, and there is no downgrade system for titles in the Ming Dynasty. It is equivalent to saying that there are more than 20 iron hat kings. Unless there is an heir, they will be passed down from generation to generation. How many generations will it be passed down with the Ming Dynasty?

I already support you so much, so don’t just give up on yourself.

In fact, Zhu Xi was also very hesitant.

As for these vassal kings, they were born in Rome just because they were Zhu Yuanzhang's sons.

This is much more effective than simply getting rid of political opponents.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the kings all had dark faces.

All the money was converted into silver, which was almost more than 100,000 taels.

Zhu Ming sighed, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said sincerely: "Dad, to tell you the truth, my son originally had no ambitions. I just wanted to be a free king and go to the border of Yunnan to be happy and find some things every day. When the dancer dances, wouldn’t it be fun to look at her big white legs and all that?”

Zhu Di frowned, feeling displeased, but after thinking about it again and again, he seemed unable to refute.

One is to give an explanation to the old man. Zhu Yun knew that Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to see flesh and blood killing each other. Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's methods, Zhu Yunwen would disappear without even being able to get down from the city gate. Why would Zhu Yuanzhang personally bring him to see Zhu Yu?
The other is to show the kings that I can even take Yunwen with me to train him as a prince, let alone your children?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, "Have I given birth to a son to give you a helper?"
The King of Qun Xin said, are we your younger brothers?

To put it bluntly, killing Zhu Yunwen would be far less effective than keeping him.

"I'm not going to cut down the vassalage." Zhu Chu spread his hands and said, "Why should I cut down the vassalage? Our father gave birth to so many of our brothers, and we haven't taken you out to fight in groups and bully others. It's not time for internal strife yet. "

It's impossible. Uncle Eighteen really just looked at the brotherhood between his father and him, and then he was so generous, right?

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, even with the title of Duke Tang and Xu, could not become kings with different surnames.

If this continues, who can bear it?

After thinking about it, even Zhu Laosi took a long breath and said: "Lao Shiba, don't just talk about us, aren't you going to cut down the vassal clan?"

He wanted to seize the throne, but he must use thunderous means to quickly solve the problems of the kings and courtiers.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen is a good typical character. After what he has done is made public, he can not only reasonably abolish the crown prince, but also announce that he has the opportunity to become the third-generation crown prince, thus blocking everyone's mouth.

If the party struggle continues, it will only consume itself due to internal fighting.

Zhu Zhen didn't want the nine sons of the Qing Dynasty to seize the legitimate rights in the Ming Dynasty.

I am not a double standard, but I do what I say, and I will never act arbitrarily so that the throne will only be passed down to my lineage.

"Since ancient times, Confucianism has highly praised the Zhou rites, which emphasizes the establishment of direct descendants rather than the establishment of virtuous people. No matter what your abilities are, as long as you are a commoner, you will be suppressed forever and never get ahead."

"At the same time, it also leads to the fact that because the eldest son is the eldest son, he can have no ambitions and lose his ambition by playing with things. Anyway, no matter how bad he is, he can still inherit the throne. In this way, all dynasties have avoided There is only one problem, that is, the new crown prince often gradually declines due to lack of competitiveness and motivation."

"For example, when the powerful Han prospered in the Tang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was interrupted. If Liu Xiu, the son of destiny, had not been born to force the Han Dynasty to continue its life, Wang Mang would have destroyed the Han Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty, the royal bloodline suffered even more Slaughter and helplessness.”

"I don't want temporary prosperity. What I want is that the blood of our Ming Dynasty and our Zhu family will last forever. So I have thought many times that the inheritance system needs to be changed."

"When I become the emperor, various princes can send their children to the palace and be raised by me personally. Of course, this does not require you to adopt the children to me, but to allow these children to grow up together, which not only cultivates feelings, but also allows them to grow up together. At the same time, they grow up in a competitive environment, and finally select the best among them as the new king, and the others go back to inherit the throne and assist the new king in governing the world."

"This is a virtuous cycle."

Everyone was deep in thought and began to think about the feasibility of what Zhu Zhen said.

To be honest, Zhu Ming's words were so bold that they were beyond the thinking mode of people of this era. Even when he quietly called himself "I", no one noticed.

But even if you notice it, you probably won’t care anymore, right?
After all, this kid dared to shout in front of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang that he wanted to be emperor. What else could he not dare to do? Is there anything else that he dare not say?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still acquiesced and indulged.

It’s really a matter of comparing people to death, and comparing goods with goods.

"Old Shiba, are you telling the truth?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Ming with some emotion: "Are you really not planning to leave the throne to your own children?"

Zhu Chu spread his hands: "Fourth brother, it's the same sentence. Originally, I didn't want to be the emperor. But no matter who becomes the emperor, it's impossible to tolerate us, so we have to fight for the throne."

"Do you really think that being the emperor is a good thing? You should see with your own eyes how tired our father is when you have time. Instead of dealing with endless government affairs every day, it would be better to ride a horse to the end of the world and be happy."

"So the emperor is not what I want. But when I have a child, he, like your children, will have the opportunity to run for the throne. I will not favor one over the other."

Zhu Ming told the truth: "Even my original plan was to use Yunnan as my base, and then fight to Southeast Asia or the Western Regions, and then launch an attack on the broader Eurasian continent. To be honest, we The Central Plains is only one-third of an acre. This world is bigger than you can imagine."

Zhu Zhen almost took out the globe.

But Zhu Fan, the third child, suddenly said: "Fourth child, don't just listen to his deception. Don't forget, our eldest son is only 16 years old after the Chinese New Year. Even your eldest son is older than him." A year or two older, right? My eldest son must be four years older than him. When he passes the throne, I'm afraid none of our children will be able to survive him."

All the kings woke up one after another and looked at Zhu Zhen in disbelief. Yes, he was Lao Shiba, born in the twelfth year of Hongwu. He would only be sixteen years old after the Chinese New Year.

Good guy, what are other people doing at sixteen?

And what did Zhu do when he was eighteen or sixteen?
Thinking of this, everyone became uneasy.

The sixteen-year-old vassal king has made great achievements.

Leading an army of one million, he sent troops all the way from Yunnan to conquer Tibet, Xinjiang, and the Mongolian grasslands.

In fact, since he became a feudal lord at the age of twelve, he has become famous for all the things he has done.

And he is less than sixteen years old?

This.

Many brothers gasped.

Even Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Ming secretly. This eighteenth uncle was two years younger than him, but the actions of the two people could not be compared at all.

Can he be free from pressure?

With Zhu Zhen returning in triumph this year with such great achievements, things would have changed even without Zhu Yunwen's Xuanwu Sect change.

Zhu Yunwen just struggled at the end of his life, like a fish trapped in a shoal trying to turn over, but unfortunately he did not return to the sea, but turned to the other side of the bank.

He only exacerbated the result of his failure, but was unable to change the result.

"Third brother, you are right. Brother, when did I say that I would sit on the throne until death?" Zhu Ming snorted coldly.

This third brother was too hostile to him. They obviously didn't know each other before, right? Could it be that he slept with his wife?
Zhu Chu flipped his wrist and finally couldn't hold back anymore and took out a world map.

"You, come here," Zhu Zhen greeted the eunuch in the corner who was already shaking with fear and sweating.

In such a chaotic scene of kings, especially the possibility of a fight for the heir, even the old eunuch of Huangmen, who had been following Zhu Yuanzhang, now came over with his head trembling, facing Zhu Yu, no longer as calm as before. .

This Your Highness may be shaking things up.

I really didn't expect that the Dian King of Dian turned out to be crazy.

Isn't this too crazy? He actually wanted to announce his accession to the throne in public? Is it okay?

But even His Majesty is conniving at it, so it's no longer anyone else's turn to point fingers.

So Huangmen Shilang led the two young eunuchs, and according to Zhu Chu's instructions, he slowly stretched out the map he had conjured from nowhere.

It was a huge and exquisite map of the world. As the scroll slowly unfolded, a series of gasping sounds could be heard.

"What is this?" Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he stood up and pointed at the power map on the map with trembling hands.

Zhu Ming looked at where Zhu Yuanzhang was pointing and said, "That is our Ming Dynasty territory."

On the map, the Ming Dynasty's forces are divided in red, which now extends to Uliangha in the north, the Timurid Empire in the west, Ningyuan in the south (the place where Dao Bailan rebelled in Ningyuan County before), and the Changbai Mountains in eastern Liaoning during the winter solstice.

It is a pity that the Heilongjiang area now belongs to the Jianzhou Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens, and has not yet submitted to the Ming Dynasty.

However, because the entire country of Mongolia was incorporated, the current territory of the Ming Dynasty is almost equal to, or exceeds, the national maps of later generations.

After all, even the treasure island of Xiaoliuqiu is now the color of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ming conquered Baodao more than two centuries earlier than Zheng Chenggong.

This is the advantage of being a time traveler. It has a better long-term strategic vision than modern people.

"This is our Ming Dynasty territory? Why is it so small?" someone exclaimed.

On the entire world map, although the red color of Ming Dynasty is bright, it is not conspicuous.

Because there are no names and distinctions between the various continents, there is still a huge blank area around the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the huge Siberian region, even the Golden Horde was no smaller than the Timurid Empire. There were also the Arabian region and the Ottoman Empire. Together, these regions were half the size of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that although there is no Tsarist Empire yet, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has already appeared.

Not to mention that in later Russian regions, there are now various ethnic tribes.

There are also the Middle East and the African continent, etc.

Zhu Chu even pointed to the American continent and the Australian continent.

The Australian continent was first discovered in 1606, and may be thought to have been discovered in 1770 at the latest.

Before it was discovered and colonized by the British, there was only a group of indigenous people there.

Not to mention the American continent. Before the invasion, only the Indians lived there leisurely and contentedly.

"The world can be divided into six continents. As long as it is larger than this island (Greenland), it can be called a continental plate."

"The continent where our Ming Dynasty is located is just one of them, called Eurasia. In addition to this, there are five other continents, as well as countless islands, large and small."

"We haven't even conquered our own continent yet, so now is not the time to rest on our laurels. I've also been saying that I, the Ming Dynasty, have not yet reached the time to let my horse go to Nanshan."

Zhu Chu continued to point to the European continent, because the European continent is actually not that far away from Eurasia.

"There is almost no civilization up here. You only need to send a vassal king to lead tens of thousands of troops to occupy it. And there are large plains and resources up there."

That's Australia, a country known as sitting on a mine cart.

Moreover, agriculture and animal husbandry are very developed.

There is an interesting story that has been circulating on the Internet, saying that someone brought a pair of rabbits to Australia, and in less than a hundred years, they multiplied to 10 billion.

Although this is a disaster, it is enough to show how rich Australia's resources are.

"I have said before that the vassal king is a sharp weapon for the country. Cutting off the vassal? You have to cut down the vassal if you have a problem in your mind. The world is so big, can the court and the emperor alone manage it?"

"In the imperial court, I will be the emperor. Outside the imperial court, I will confer kings as emperors."

"We have more than 20 brothers, and we can work together to break up the wealth. Instead of having internal friction in this three-quarter acre of land, why not conquer the world together?"

"Third brother, aren't you afraid that I will take this position to death? You really think too highly of me. I am not that interested. As long as I conquer this world, as long as I conquer the whole world, I will retire with success. ”

The world is so big, let alone the limitations of ancient times, even in modern times, it is difficult for a single national government to manage it.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen said from the beginning that the vassal king is a weapon for the country, not a hindrance to the country.

On such a big world map, how many nails can he make by himself?
Just because of the continuous wars that broke out this year, even Zhu Zhen had to divide his troops. He relied on the many elite soldiers and generals under his command to successfully win one battle after another.

However, the front lines will only get bigger in the future.

This side wants to fight America, that side wants to fight Europe, and the other side is fighting Australia.

He can't just fly around with a kick in the sky and a kick on the ground, right? He also has to be able to fly, right?

"So, brothers, come and help me. Let us also learn from our father's generation and create an era that belongs to us."

"When the whole world is conquered, I will seal you one by one to each continent to be your own emperor."

"When our Lao Zhu family ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the whole world, the whole world will belong to us. Even if there is a conflict between future generations and they go to fight life and death, it will be an internal problem within our family."

"But now is not the time for internal strife."

"I, Zhu Shiba, become the emperor, which is my only choice. Only I can lead the Ming Dynasty, lead the kings, and create a truly prosperous era for the Ming Dynasty."
