Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 257: The Emperor’s Rules, Xu Da was fined, and the Emperor must abide by them

Peking City.

The Supreme Emperor Zhu Siye was drawing something on a huge table. He had been drawing for several days. Today he finally finished the drawing. He excitedly called Huang Lvhe over: "Look, this is the future Beiping City. What? Sample?"

The yellow-green eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

Based on the existing city, Fourth Master Zhu re-outlined a grand blueprint: spacious streets, bustling commercial streets, quiet living quarters, busy factory areas, as well as public facilities such as schools and hospitals. Although Huang Lu'e couldn't understand that, the picture in front of her was indeed so beautiful that she was amazed.

"Go and spread the word to the envoys and officials at all levels in Peiping to come see me. I have important matters to discuss." Master Zhu gave the order.

Yellow and green calyx left in a hurry.

In less than half an hour, the chief envoy Hu Sheng led a group of officials from Peiping into the main hall and paid their respects in unison: "I will pay homage to the Supreme Emperor."

"Pingshen." Fourth Master Zhu motioned for everyone to stand up, "I have called you here today to discuss the new plan for the future of Beiping. I want Beiping to become the center of the world, and our city construction must match it."

Although everyone nodded in agreement, their faces could not hide their confusion. Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand and ordered his people to unfold the plan he carefully drew. As soon as the picture scroll came out, everyone in the audience was shocked. Hu Sheng pointed at the scroll, his voice trembling: "This, could this be us in Peiping?"

"It's Peiping, the future Peiping." Fourth Master Zhu nodded affirmatively.

"It's really magnificent." Everyone praised in unison.

"If I want to be like the one in the picture, I need your full help and act according to my plan." Fourth Master Zhu's voice was serious and firm.

"I am willing to listen to the Emperor's orders." Hu Sheng bowed and responded.

Fourth Master Zhu high-fived, and Huang Lucai led the attendants and came forward holding stacks of notebooks and distributed them to each official. Everyone opened it and saw that it was the detailed plan of the Supreme Emperor.

"From now on, we must act in accordance with these plans." Master Zhu's tone was unquestionable, "If there is any violation, I will not forgive you lightly!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in awe and began to study the plans in their hands carefully.

"Does this require a lot of money?" Hu Sheng frowned, "How can the court give us so much money?"

"I will take care of the silver issue." Fourth Master Zhu said coldly, "You should immediately follow my plan and implement it immediately."

"According to the order." Everyone nodded.

As long as the money is in place, they are full of energy.

……

A month later.

Duke Xu Da of Wei rushed to the residence of the Supreme Emperor in a hurry. He urged the coachman to speed up, and the coachman waved his whip in an attempt to make the carriage go faster. However, not long after they set off, they were stopped by a team of police officers.

"Why are you so rude, even dare to block Duke Wei's carriage?" the groom reprimanded angrily.

The leading policeman was unmoved. He snorted coldly: "The Emperor has an order. Even if the Emperor comes in person, traffic rules must be obeyed. Are you blind? Didn't you see that people and carriages should go their own way? You I just ran onto the sidewalk and almost hit a pedestrian."

"Wei Guogong has urgent matters. If it is delayed, can you afford it?" The groom continued to roar.

Xu Da had already poked his head out of the carriage at this time. He asked the policeman: "What on earth is going on? What kind of sidewalk or carriageway? Who set these rules?"

"My lord," the policeman replied respectfully, "this is a new rule set by the Emperor, which has been implemented for a month. The Emperor particularly emphasized that these traffic rules must be strictly abided by, regardless of status, to ensure the safety of the city. Order and safety.”

Xu Da had just returned from Songting Pass and knew nothing about these new changes. He looked around and found that the city was indeed completely new: the streets were clean and tidy, pedestrians and carriages went their own way, and the whole city seemed orderly.

"Okay, we abide by it." Xu Da glanced at the groom and asked him to drive the carriage back to the carriageway.

"Wait a minute." The policeman stepped forward, "According to the rules, you have to pay a fine. This is a ticket."

"You dare to punish the Duke?" The groom was furious.

"Not only will you be fined, but you will also be deducted points. You are driving without a license, so you will be severely fined." The policeman glared, "Go to the Yamen Carriage Station, get a driver's license, and learn the rules."

"???" The groom was furious.

"Okay, let's accept the fine." Xu Da took the ticket and paid one or two silver.

……

Xu Da stepped into the Taishang Palace and saw many officials busily passing through. He stopped Hu Sheng, the chief envoy of Peking, and asked curiously: "Why are you all so busy? When I came here, I saw many houses being demolished. What is the purpose of this move? How will the people live in peace?"

A trace of excitement flashed in Hu Sheng's eyes, and he spread his hands and explained: "We are busy promoting the community renovation plan. To be honest, the people are looking forward to their houses being selected for demolition, because they will receive at least three thousand taels of silver in compensation. "

Xu Da was shocked when he heard this. "Wei Guogong, I have to rush to the hospital building now to confirm." Hu Sheng said, waving his hand, "If you still have any questions, please ask His Majesty the Supreme Emperor for advice."

After that, he hurried away, leaving Xu Da confused. He couldn't wait to enter the main hall, and his eyes were immediately attracted by a huge map of Peking City. Peiping in the picture is beautiful and majestic.

He saluted the Supreme Emperor respectfully: "Your Majesty, Xu Da, is here to see the Supreme Emperor."

Fourth Master Zhu did not even raise his head, and kept writing with the ink pen in his hand: "Wei Guogong, is there any urgent military situation on the front line?"

Recently, all the news about Northern Xinjiang had piled up on his desk, and he gradually realized Zhu Yuanzhang's hardships. He is planning to reform the internal organization. After all, as the Supreme Emperor, he should focus on handling major issues rather than accepting every trick.

Xu Da's voice was passionate: "Tell the Emperor that we have fought against the Yuan army several times. Using the tactics taught by the Emperor, we have won many battles. Now, it is time to take back Yingchang City."

Fourth Master Zhu finally raised his head: "You guys discuss a plan to attack the city, and then give it to me. After I review it, if I think it's feasible, you can go ahead and do it."

"As ordered." Xu Da nodded and responded.

Fourth Master Zhu smiled slightly: "I have allocated three million taels of silver for you. The soldiers fought bloody battles. If the wages should be increased, they should be increased, and if rewards should be rewarded, they should be rewarded."

Xu Da was shocked: "Where did so much money come from?"

"Wei Guogong, from now on the army will need silver, you just need to pay the discount according to the procedures." Mr. Zhu's voice was deep and powerful, "We must not treat our soldiers badly."

Xu Da was overjoyed when he heard this. The equipment in the army was already outdated. If he had enough money, it would definitely boost the morale of the soldiers.

……

Mobei Grassland.

Zhu Di led three thousand cavalry deep into the rear. If he found the Yuan army, he would fight and then leave. They appeared erratically, attacked quickly, and retreated quickly, making it difficult for the Yuan army to track their whereabouts on the vast grassland, and they were completely passive. In order to reverse the situation, the Yuan army sent many spy teams to search for traces of these three thousand cavalry.

Yesudier was a centurion who was one of the spies. He led more than a hundred of his men and galloped on the grassland. He heard that this Ming army was extremely powerful and even captured King Qi, so he had a strong desire to challenge and wanted to compete with this Ming army.

"Centurion, are we moving too fast?" A subordinate asked worriedly, "If we go further, we will almost reach Songting Pass, which is the territory of the Ming army."

"Because of this, we are more likely to find them." Yesudier waved.

When more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed down from the mountain, they were suddenly surrounded by a Ming army that came from nowhere. Yesudier was shocked, quickly drew out his machete, and shouted loudly: "Charge with me!"

The two sides quickly fought together, but soon Yesudier discovered that this Ming army was unusual. They rode horses that were taller than the horses on the grassland, and wore black armor. The armor was so tough that ordinary swords could not penetrate it. What is even more desperate is that these Ming soldiers have extremely high martial arts skills, their fighting skills are crisp and clear, and every attack hits the vital point.

Not long after, more than a hundred cavalry led by Yesudier were wiped out, and he himself was captured. When they were tied up and escorted to a young general, the two looked at each other and exclaimed at the same time.

"Gang leader?"

"Yesudier?"

Zhu Di was also very surprised to see Yesudie'er. He ordered someone to untie the rope from Yesudier's body, frowned and asked, "How could it be you? Isn't your Alibu brother family north of Mobei?" How come you are here?"

"Kuoku defeated us and ordered us to deal with you." Yesudie'er looked surprised, "It turns out that the wise general they said is comparable to Huo Qubing is actually you, gang leader."

"To tell you the truth," Zhu Di spread his hands, "I am Zhu Di, King Yan of the Ming Dynasty."

"That's it!" Yesudier said sincerely, "Gang leader, what are you going to do with me?"

"Yesudier, we are brothers, I will definitely let you go." Zhu Di patted Yesudier on the shoulder, "Take your brother Ali to Mobei."

A bright light flashed in Yesudier's eyes, and without any hesitation, he got on his horse and clasped his fists towards Zhu Di: "His Royal Highness, King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, wait until I, Yesudier, go back and seize the throne, and then I will compete with you for the world."

Zhu Di laughed loudly: "Okay! I am waiting for you!"

Yesudier rode off and quickly disappeared deep into the grassland. Zhu Di led the army back to Songting Pass. This time he came out not only to disrupt the rear of the Yuan army, but also to inquire about the military situation. After a while, the Ming army will capture Yingchang City.

Suddenly, the wind and grass stirred, and dust and sand swept past.

"There is an assassin!" Zhu Di turned around suddenly and punched directly.

boom!
A person flew away quickly, and Zhu Di flew up and punched the person continuously, and golden light flashed from his fist.

boom!
The assassin was directly blasted to the ground, creating a big crater. Zhu Di then flew down, stepped on the man's chest, and sneered: "Only you? You dare to assassinate me?"

"Not just him, but also us." A charming woman's voice fell.

The figures around him flickered, and in the blink of an eye, three people surrounded Zhu Di.
