Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

After Zangbudagan handed over half of the Guge tribe to Zhu Kai, he thought about it for a long time and had already made up his mind to leave U-Tsang and live in Ming Dynasty with his wealth.

Zhu Kai made it clear that he wanted to incorporate U-Tsang into the Ming Dynasty. Zangbudagan thought that even if he could not achieve his goal, he should not become a stumbling block to Zhu Kai.

But now seeing Zhu Kai's attitude towards him, Zangbu Dagan realized that he no longer had the capital to trade with Zhu Kai, and began to worry that he would not have a good ending after defecting to the Ming Dynasty.

Nangaba Zangbu, who was standing next to him, looked at Zangbo Dagan's disappointed look, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You are already one step behind others. If you want to catch up, you have to go further than others."

When Tsangpo Dagan heard what Nangaba Zangbu said, he understood and bowed his head: "Please give me some advice, Master Shedi."

This is his last chance!

While I am still useful and can help Zhu Kai with something, I must do it well.

Nangaba Zangbu did not tell Zangbo Dagan about his plan directly, but asked Zangbo Dagan: "Can I trust you?"

"Of course, we, the Guge tribe, are the most loyal followers of the Shedishi."

Tsangpo Dagan immediately said, "If you don't believe me, I can hand over all the Guge tribes to Shedishi."

Nangaba Zangbu has relied on Zhu Kai as his supporter, and his status is completely different from before. The current Zangbu Dagan is completely unable to be on an equal footing with Nangaba Zangbu and can only face his former friend as a subordinate.

After hesitating for a while, Nangaba Zangbu said to him: "This is my plan..."

……

"Master Shedi, you can't do this."

The nobles approached Nangabazangbu and accused him of a crime: "You have been telling our slaves to join the Ming Dynasty every day, and they are no longer obedient."

If there was any way, the nobles of U-Tsang would not have come to Nangabazangbu in such a desperate manner, but this man was really going too far.

Since Zhu Kai left, Nangaba Zangbu became Zhu Kai's spokesperson in U-Tsang. He was stationed in U-Tsang and what he did was hated by both God and man.

In the past, Nangabazangbu was tied to the nobles of U-Tsang. But since Zhu Kai appeared in U-Tsang, Nangabazangbu became a completely different person. He abandoned the nobles and dealt with slaves all day long.

Moreover, Nangabazangbu told the slaves that Zhu Kai was the reincarnation of Vajrapani. He transformed himself into the second prince of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to lead the slaves to integrate into the Ming Dynasty.

Nangaba Zangbu incorporated Zhu Kai's idea of ​​"equality of all people" into the Buddhist scriptures of U-Tsang, and told the slaves: People should not be slaves, but have their own identities. Slaves cannot and should not exist.

For example, when the slaves of U-Tsang joined the Ming Dynasty, everyone had their own land, could do business and study...

Compared with today's U-Tsang, the current Ming Dynasty is a paradise of freedom and a holy land of human rights. It is many years ahead of European countries. As for America... they are still in the savage era and are ruled by the Mayan civilization.

After Nangaba Zangbu's strenuous propaganda, U-Tsang has become a boiling hot land. The slaves have seen the hope of turning over a new leaf and a better life. Each of them is full of expectations.

The slaves were happy, but the nobles were nervous. Because of Zhu Kai's appearance, they had already offered a lot of slaves, and the remaining slaves could barely allow them to live a good life. Now Nangabazangbu attacked them from behind. How could the nobles sit still?
However, Nangabazangbu was not afraid at all. Now Sunlight City had belonged to Zhu Kai, and all the soldiers and servants of Danma belonged to Nangabazangbu. Zhu Kai usually drank and ate meat with these nobles, and all the affairs were left to Nangabazangbu. It can be said that...

Nangaba Zangbu is Zhu Kai's spokesperson in U-Tsang, and his every word and action can represent Zhu Kai.

"Why are you panicking? What's so good about U-Tsang? Why don't you want to go to Ming?"

Nangaba Zangbu was still promoting the benefits of going to Ming Dynasty. "In Ming Dynasty, as long as everyone abides by the rules, life will be more comfortable than in Ü-Tsang. Besides... even if you stay in Ü-Tsang, do you not need to abide by the rules?"

In today's U-Tsang, the one with the strongest fist is Zhu Kai. It will only take a few minutes to wipe out these nobles in front of him.

If they obey, they will just stay still.

If you are not convinced, then both sides will set up their battle formations and show off their skills. If you can defeat Zhu Kai, I will have no problem letting you be the boss of Uszang.

The nobles consulted Nangabazangbu and believed that Zhu Kai should not be so overbearing and should leave these nobles a way to survive.

"Why don't you give me a way out?"

Nangaba Zangbu looked at the nobles who gave him advice and sneered, "Joining the Ming Dynasty is a way to live, not joining the Ming Dynasty is a way to die."

After a pause, Nangaba Zangbu looked at the ugly expressions on the nobles' faces, thought for a while and then said: "Everyone, don't think I am exaggerating. If you join the Ming Dynasty now and become the subjects of the Second Prince, he will give you the best preferential treatment. Do you know how much land the Second Prince has? The grasslands and Liaodong that once belonged to the Mongols now belong to the Second Prince! In the Central Plains, the Second Prince's father is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his brother is the Crown Prince, the King of the Sai River of the Ming Dynasty. These brothers all respect the Second Prince. In the future, more and more people will surrender to the Second Prince. If we can't act in advance, who will remember us?"

"The resources you control are the wealth accumulated by your ancestors. How much can you earn in a year in U-Tsang? In the Ming Dynasty, the money their merchants earn every year is enough for you to earn in your lifetime. The Second Prince controls all the businesses in the Ming Dynasty. You go too late. Forget about eating meat, you won't even be able to drink soup."

Every word and action showed his contempt for the nobles.

"Don't think that you can rest easy for the rest of your life just by keeping servants. I guarantee that if merchants from the Ming Dynasty enter U-Tsang, your wealth will be severely reduced."

Nangaba Zangbu was so moved that he couldn't help sighing: "I, Nangaba Zangbu, am the Shedishi of U-Tsang. I represent the gods and come to the world to take care of his people. Don't I want to see you?"

"Now the bright road is in front of you, but you don't know how to cherish it. I don't even know how to evaluate your behavior... Alas."

After listening to Nangabazangbu's speech, the nobles fell silent. They were now confused and didn't know how to make a decision.

Who would easily make a decision when it comes to their own interests?
Nangaba Zangbu turned his head to Zangbu Dagan, and the two looked into each other's eyes. Zangbu Dagan immediately understood the meaning in the other's eyes: I have done everything I can, and now it's up to you.

Perhaps, no one believed what Nangabazangbu said.

But as the chieftain of the most powerful tribe in U-Tsang, Zangbudagan's words would not go unbelievable.

Zangbu Dagan clenched his fists.

He didn't know whether he had made the right decision or not, but there was no other way to go: "Everyone, I have decided to offer the Guge tribe to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. I will also go to the grassland and listen to the Second Prince's teachings."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Can't even the most powerful Guge tribe bear the pressure?

The Bulang and Mangyu tribes were trembling in fear.

If even the Guge tribe cannot bear the pressure, what can they do?
"Everyone, time is running out. If you feel that joining the Ming Dynasty is not a good idea, please leave on your own."

Nangabazangbu tore off the last fig leaf.

He said to all the nobles: "U-Tsang does not allow two voices to exist!"

This was the final ultimatum. If anyone refused to obey, they could lead their troops to fight. The chieftains of the two major tribes, Mangyu and Bulang, were as sad as if they had lost their parents.

They never expected that in just one month, U-Tsang would fall apart.

As the entire Guge tribe slowly left U-Tsang and headed for the grassland or Liaodong to settle down, the other two tribes could no longer hold back and began to find Nangaba Zangbu to discuss the migration of the entire tribe.

The 800,000 slaves who went to the grasslands became another driving force for the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after doing all these things, Nangabazangbu did not leave with Zhu Kai. He still had to protect U-Tsang for Zhu Kai and manage U-Tsang well.

As Ming officials gradually entered U-Tsang, in the seventh year of Hongwu, U-Tsang was officially under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and all expenses were the same as those of the Ming Dynasty, with no distinction between the two.

Zhu Kai went to find Lan Yu, and the trade that Zhu Kai had planned with Wang Baobao also entered the formal stage. As the Ming merchants who followed Zhu Kai brought their goods to the western border of the Ming Dynasty and exchanged them with the merchants sent by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, every Ming merchant had a smile on his face.

With just this one trip, we made a 30% profit.

Everyone's face was filled with joy.

Moreover, this is just the first step, there will be more business to come.

Thinking about the Silk Road being reopened, merchants seemed to see countless profits rolling in.

Each and every one of these merchants was filled with gratitude towards Zhu Kai. The convenience of doing business that Zhu Kai provided them allowed these merchants to make a fortune... If it weren't for Zhu Kai leading them, how could they have found so many opportunities to make a fortune?

Businessmen don’t know why. Their money can provide them with a worry-free life for the rest of their lives, but they still keep making money... Maybe they don’t know why they are making money, maybe they just want to find something to do.

And Zhu Kai gave them a stage to perform.

The merchants wanted to have Zhu Kai's name made into a tablet and worship it every day.

As for having to pay taxes...is that a big deal?

With Zhu Kai around, their business will only grow bigger and bigger. In the future, Zhu Kai will become the new 'Business Saint' in the hearts of businessmen.

Lan Yu was puzzled by Zhu Kai's behavior.

Why should we give such a profitable job to those outside businessmen? Can't we just do it ourselves?
Aren’t the soldiers who transport supplies back and forth more useful than these people?

All the money you earn goes into your own pocket, and you don’t have to pay taxes…

Lan Yu felt that Zhu Kai's behavior was that of a spendthrift. Why should he give all the money he could earn to others?
However, when Lan Yu told Zhu Kai his idea, Zhu Kai rejected it sternly.

He also sternly warned Lan Yu that any soldier found doing business would be beheaded.

What a joke, it’s absolutely taboo for a sergeant to do business!

No one knows better than Zhu Kai the serious consequences of soldiers doing business!
Although Lan Yu has an unconventional mindset, he does not have Zhu Kai's foresight!
There are some things Zhu Kai can ignore, but there are some things Lan Yu is determined not to touch!
Seeing that Zhu Kai was so serious, Lan Yu immediately agreed!
He also promised that he would not do business, nor would he let his soldiers do business.

……

Brother's Red Sleeves Tour has not yet reached the Western Territory, and there are not many things to play with here. Zhu Kai also wanted to see the beauties of the Western Regions, but who knew that after seeing them... it's hard to describe.

There was no other way, Zhu Kai could only stay in the military camp every day, drinking and eating meat with the soldiers, and then... fighting!
These soldiers are now convinced. Zhu Kai fights against seventy or eighty of them alone and doesn't care even if he gets beaten.

But... no one could withstand Zhu Kai's heavy blow.

That was a heavy blow!

Moreover, when Zhu Kai hit people, he still held back his strength.

If he used all his strength, the person fighting against him would be killed by one punch.

Of course, Zhu Kai’s good days didn’t last long, because... there were better days to come.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang arrived, and Zhu Di, with a bruised face, also arrived. When he saw Zhu Kai, he pounced on him:
"Second brother! Haha! I miss you so much!"

"Fifth brother?"

When Zhu Kai saw Zhu Di, his eyes sparkled with joy. He hadn't seen them for almost half a year and really missed them. Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang also came over and called Zhu Kai "Second Brother".

Zhu Kai was very surprised to see the three brothers, but he couldn't help but be curious: "Why are you here?"

"Big brother asked us to come here, saying that we were here to help big brother."

Zhu Gang was outspoken and could not hide his thoughts. After seeing Zhu Kai, he was completely satisfied: "Second brother, if there is anything you want us to do, you can arrange it as you like. We brothers are here to work for you."

"..."

Zhu Kai felt warm in his heart, but he didn't indulge them at all: "I asked you to come to help, but you are not here to make things worse, right?"

Zhu Gang's face suddenly fell, and he looked at Zhu Kai unhappily: "Second brother, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhu Chong: "Second brother, we can't help you with anything, but eldest brother said that since we are here, everything will be arranged by you. We will do whatever you ask us to do."

After a pause, Zhu Chong continued, "Second brother, I heard on the road that you have dragged all the people of U-Tsang to the grassland. How is it... do you need me and my fourth brother to help you manage it?"

When Zhu Kai heard what Zhu Chong said, he immediately became interested: "How do you want to manage it?"

"Of course it's a fifty-fifty split."

Zhu Gang had obviously discussed this with Zhu Chong. After Zhu Kai asked, he ignored Zhu Chong's attempts to stop him and directly stated his request: "Second brother, you have a big family and business, and you definitely can't manage so many people. Third brother and I will help you manage it. We don't ask for much, just 50%."

"..."

Zhu Chong was looking at Zhu Gang from the side and felt a little headache.

Silly brother, why did you say these things?
Everyone knows that Zhu Kai is Zhou Baopi. It is simply a fantasy to want to make money from him.

Seeing Zhu Gang's expression, Zhu Gang immediately realized that if he continued to negotiate the deal like this, he would not even be able to eat the bones, let alone a share of the pie. (End of this chapter)
