King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Say it!"

Wang Luning said: "His Royal Highness King Lu's guards just got off the ship at Haijin Port and marched three hundred miles in twenty-three hours to reach Beiping Mansion! And defeated the Marquis of Yongchang in Beiping with 500 people against 500 people." The personal guard!”

Zhu Biao stood up suddenly.

"How is that possible! Haven't Lan Yu's personal guards always claimed to be invincible? There are so many adopted sons of Lan Yu among the personal guards! Logically speaking, their combat power should be far superior to King Lu's guards!"

Wang Luning smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that Marquis Yongchang also tried his best at that time. He led his troops to capture Marquis Wu Ding who commanded King Lu's guard, as well as the commander Zhao Quan, the deputy commander Chen Qin, and even the five thousand households below! But! King Lu's guards were able to advance and retreat in a well-organized manner without anyone in charge! Although Yongchang Hou's soldiers were also very elite, they were defeated in terms of physical strength and endurance!"

Zhu Biao frowned and said, "I know this, is there anything else?"

Wang Luning nodded and said: "Yes! There is one more thing! The firearms workshop in King Lu's territory that His Majesty and His Royal Highness have been paying attention to has finally shown off their results this time! They are a new type of musket and two kinds of artillery, with powerful It was so powerful that it was simply unbelievable! Everyone watching that day was shocked and speechless. After that, many veterans on the battlefield said that the muskets and artillery brought by King Lu would be enough to change the future war situation! Praise, these five thousand King Lu guards are enough to sweep the world!"

Zhu Biao was shocked when he heard this.

"To be so tyrannical!"

Zhu Biao bowed his head.

Huang Zicheng, who had been standing for a long time, bowed and said: "Your Highness! King Lu clearly has evil intentions! Otherwise, why would he suddenly use such strong force in such a good manner? I think that His Highness the Crown Prince should have made preparations in advance to prevent unexpected events!"

Hua Lun now also holds an official position in the Prince's Mansion, and has to teach Zhu Yunwen on weekdays.

He also said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness the Crown Prince! Everyone in the world knows that King Lu's vassal territory is in a line of its own! King Lu can do whatever he wants on weekdays. He simply does whatever he wants and is so bold! He clears the land, changes the regulations without authorization, and harms Kong. At home, he also resorted to militarism and reformed the military system! He was even so bold as to reach out to the government! The imperial examination system was completely changed by him!

However, he had some cleverness and was able to suddenly become rich by selling salt!

Such a person might be the first-class Wang Mang in the future!
The prince should unite the wise people in the world to fight this King of Lu to the end!
Otherwise, in the future, if he really threatens the East Palace, it will be too late! "

Zhu Biao waved his hand and frowned: "We haven't reached that point yet! I only pay attention to the tenth brother because he is my younger brother, and I don't want to be an enemy of him unless he really secedes from the world! This matter You don’t need to mention it anymore!”

talking.

Zhu Biao looked at Huang Zicheng and asked: "I heard that you and Fang Xiaoru organized a group of civil servants to impeach the tenth brother some time ago! Is this possible?"

Huang Zicheng hesitated after hearing this.

Zhu Biao looked at Huang Zicheng, his eyes calm and intimidating.

Huang Zicheng's scalp felt numb when he saw it.

It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince is generous and kind, but why does he look at me so scary?
In fact.

Zhu Biao was involved in many major cases in the Hongwu Dynasty, and even personally dealt with many people.

No one will show mercy to anyone who deserves to be killed.

Everyone said that he was kind, but it could only be said that he was compared to Lao Zhu.

Of course, this is also related to Zhu Biao's deliberate efforts to create his own image of being generous and kind.

For example, if you can't punish ministers or brothers, then you won't punish them.

If you can ask for mercy, ask for mercy.

But generosity can never be equated with weakness.

If anyone dares to deceive Zhu Biao, the horrific consequences he will face will not be much worse than those who deceived Lao Zhu.

Huang Zicheng gritted his teeth and said: "Go back to your highness! This is indeed the case! I and Mr. Fang have contacted many colleagues in the court and the same year! Everyone feels that King Lu has evil intentions, which not only endangers the country, but may also threaten your highness!"

That's why I thought of writing a letter to impeach King Lu so that His Majesty could see his true face. "

Zhu Biao snorted and said: "You are all scholars and honest people. You don't understand many of the truths in this! I don't want to explain it to you! In short, don't do this kind of thing again in the future. Although my father prefers Yu Bengong, but he doesn't want a princeling to appear in this court! What's more, your impeachment of the tenth brother may make the father even more dissatisfied!
It’s enough to impeach you once. I guess my father is too lazy to care. If you do it over and over again and annoy his old man, I won’t be able to protect you by then! "

Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining, and Hua Lun couldn't help but shudder when they heard the threat in Zhu Biao's words!

At the same time, the three of them looked at each other.

A flash of excitement flashed in his eyes!
His Royal Highness, although he has always been regarded as a kind and good old man by the ministers!
But looking at his current performance, his vision and skills are far from being described as generous and kind.
Several of them are officials of the Eastern Palace, so they will naturally have more confidence if they work with such a prince!
Huang Zicheng said hurriedly: "I respectfully obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will!"

Zhu Biao nodded, looked at Wang Luning, and said calmly: "I'm afraid everyone in Peiping knows what you said? This kind of news will reach the ears of this palace sooner or later! You, the commander of Jinyiwei, know , let alone come to me because of these things!

If there is anything else, just tell me! I still have many memorials to approve here. "

Wang Luning smiled and said: "Yes! Your Highness! I arranged for a close confidant in Peiping to bring a piece of news. I think this is very important to His Highness the Crown Prince, so I came here in person!"

talking.

Wang Luning continued: "On the second day after King Lu's guards finished their martial arts performance in the martial arts arena, His Majesty personally summoned His Royal Highness King Lu! His Majesty ordered all the palace people to retreat, leaving only a few royal guards who secretly protected His Majesty!
Afterwards, His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Lu talked for a long time! "

Wang Luning looked at Huang Zicheng and others and smiled.

Then he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhu Biao.

"This is a record of what His Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Lu discussed. Please read it!"

Huang Zicheng and others looked disappointed.

I thought I could hear something useful from this guy, but unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, he stopped talking and gave the prince this piece of paper instead!

When Zhu Biao heard Wang Luning's words, he also knew that this matter was not trivial, so he hurriedly took the paper and read it.

Huang Zicheng and others looked at Zhu Biao eagerly.

I thought to myself, after His Highness the Crown Prince finishes reading, we, as His Highness the Crown Prince’s confidants, can finally take a look, right?

What exactly is written on this?
What are you talking about with His Majesty King Lu?

however.

After Zhu Biao read the contents on the paper, he immediately tore the paper into pieces.

He said to the eunuch beside him: "Burn these things!"

Subsequently.

Zhu Biao stood with his hands behind his back.

Close your eyes and meditate.

a long time.

Zhu Biao opened his eyes, gave a wry smile, and said: "That's it! My father, the emperor, and my sons don't want to just be a conservative king! If you do this, won't my sons and ministers be restricted everywhere in the future!"

A long sigh.

Zhu Biao said to Wang Luning: "This matter is known to heaven and earth. You know it and I know it. It must never be passed on to anyone again. Otherwise," the word "otherwise" that Zhu Biao said revealed an extremely murderous intention, which even made people feel uncomfortable. Huang Zicheng and others standing aside couldn't help but shudder!

Wang Luning said solemnly: "I, I respectfully obey His Highness's decree!"

Beiping.

The capital of the Yuan Dynasty is the former Yuan Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood in the main hall, with his back to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Wei.

"We asked you to pass it on to the prince, but did you pass it on?"

Jiang Wei said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty! Wang Luning, the commander-in-chief, has told the prince all the contents in accordance with His Majesty's order!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How will His Highness react when he finds out?"

Jiang Ying said: "His Royal Highness said that he does not want to just be a conservative king!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"This is a good thing! Get down!"

Jiang Wei left respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked quickly in the hall with a smile on his face.

"Haha. Haha! I don't want to be a conservative king! What a prince, what a standard! Our Ming Dynasty has a successor!

Prince, don’t worry! Dad will arrange for a few more auxiliary princes to check and balance each other!
At that time, they will be just your assistants, and all government affairs will still be your decision-making and arbitrary decision-making!
As long as you know the simplest art of controlling people and stay firmly on the Diaoyutai, no matter who is the auxiliary prince, he will have to beg you if he doesn't return it in the end?
hehe"

The commander of the capital of Peking is the Envoy Division.

In a huge and magnificent military tent.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in slowly.

Behind him were the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Jiang Ying, and the old eunuch Chen.

At this time, there was no one in the military tent.

A faint scent of pine came to my face.

This is purposely lit to protect against moisture and insects.

Inside the military tent, the furnishings are neat and practical, revealing a rigorous and efficient military atmosphere everywhere.

The most eye-catching thing is a huge sand table placed in the center, which simulates the topography of Liaodong and Mobei in detail, with mountains, rivers, cities, and fortresses all available, like a miniature battlefield. Various terrain data and military points are carefully marked on the edge of the sand table, making the battlefield terrain clear at a glance.

There are many detailed maps hanging on the surrounding walls, not only for Peiping, but also for Liaodong and Mobei grasslands. These maps are extremely detailed, with mountains, rivers, towns, roads, water sources, and possible nomadic settlement locations all clearly marked.

Several bright lanterns hung on the top of the military tent, providing sufficient light to ensure that people in the military tent could clearly view the map and sand table at any time.

In addition to these, there are also several simple and practical tables and chairs placed in the military tent, as well as some pens, inks, papers, inkstones and books, all neatly placed on the bookshelves beside them.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked around and around the military tent, greedily breathing the air in the military tent.

a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the huge sand table and smiled at Jiang Yu and the old eunuch Chen beside him: "Eighteen years! From the first year of Hongwu to the present, we have not entered a military tent for eighteen years!
Everyone in the world knows that Wei Guogong, King Kaiping, and even Song Guogong, Ying Guogong and now Yongchang Marquis are famous generals in the world!

How could they know that we would also use troops back then? "

When the two of them heard this, they both said with smiles on their faces: "Your Majesty is a man of extraordinary talents and the Lord of Saints!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked carefully at the sand table in front of him.

Naha comes out, Togu Si Timur
These two major forces are the biggest enemies of Ming Dynasty today.

One side has an army of 200,000 to 300,000 people, entrenched in the northeast, threatening Liaodong at all times.

The Goryeo Kingdom has been lukewarm towards the Ming Dynasty so far, and does not have the respect that a vassal state should have. Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that these Goryeo people are at both ends of the spectrum, and there are even pro-Yuan and pro-Ming factions in the country. To put it bluntly, A small country with few people, struggling to survive between two big countries.

They have to be so flattering!

Zhu Yuanzhang understood, but did not accept it.

Since ancient times, Goryeo has been a vassal state of China. How could it be so inconsistent?

Solving Nahachu will not only solve the hidden border dangers of Liaodong Guard and Tieling Guard, but also open up a large number of new territories!
These lands have belonged to the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. How can they always be in the hands of these Mongols?

As for Togu Si Timur, he was the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty!
Since Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty abandoned his capital and fled, until now, the Northern Yuan Dynasty has always existed as a political power.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had already dismissed them.

After all, this so-called Northern Yuan regime did not have its own capital, nor did it rule its subjects. It only had some tribes and cavalry loyal to it. What's more, there were also some officials left behind by Yuanting, but that was all.

They call themselves the Yuan Dynasty, which is really putting their face on the line.

In this world, how can there be any dynasty that has no fixed abode?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to hit them hard.

Just to show an attitude.

There can only be one court in this world, and that is the Ming Dynasty!
If you dare to overstep your bounds, I won’t be able to keep you for a day!
The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang also had ambitions to rule the grassland.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed his favor to Emperor Yuan Shun and later Yuan Zhaozong for this reason.

It's just that these two men are not only unwilling to surrender, but also think about recovering Yuan Dadu and restoring the Yuan Dynasty all day long.
Only then did he fight with Lao Zhu for more than ten years.

Now that it is the generation of Togu Si Timur, Zhu Yuanzhang is too lazy to win over him.

Although the Golden Family still has a great reputation on the grassland, it is far from the prestige and ability to command the grassland back then.

Among other things, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that many grassland forces did not bother to pay attention to Togu Si Timur, and even had a lot of hatred towards them.
For example, the descendants of Ali Buge, Yesudie'er, and tribes such as Chahar and Khalkha have already become independent and have their own affairs with the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the Yuanting of Tuogu Si Timur, he would not be able to conquer the entire tribe on the grassland.

In that case, it would mean much less.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sand table in front of him and thought a lot in his mind.

suddenly.

A voice sounded outside the tent.

"Father-in-law, Taishan, speaking of it, you are the person I admire the most in the entire Ming Dynasty! I have learned this skill from you since I was a child! If I can be a wolf in the future, I will have all the credit for you. Serve!" (End of this chapter)
