Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

Zhu Gaojiu seemed to be smiling, but there was still anger in his eyes, "I don't know when the third brother was kind-hearted and learned the tricks of the prince."

Zhu Gaojiu looked at the set of tea cups, "I remember that this is the second brother's favorite tea set. It's a pity that it's broken like this."

Seeing that he was still thinking about that set of teacups, Zhu Gaojiao said coldly:

"Now that the emperor accepts the surrender of the grasslands, this means that the military power in our hands has to be handed over. It's a pity for you to feel this way. It's better to think about how we will go in the future."

Originally, the two of them planned that if Zhu Di supported sending troops to the grasslands, this would definitely be a good time to build up a reputation for meritorious deeds, and they could also take the opportunity to support a group of henchmen and generals in the army.

Who would have thought that in the end it was a peace negotiation, the military power in hand was handed over, and there was no time to train and place their own people in the army to sit in high positions.

"We still underestimate the fourth brother. We didn't expect him to come up with such things as rails and an improved new carriage. We also thought that it would be more convenient for us to move him away, but we shot ourselves in the foot."

When Zhu Gaoyu went to clear the Japanese pirates, the two were still secretly happy, and he would never come back in just a few months.

Whether the clearing can be successful is also a question. Who knows that he not only moved so quickly, but also won a big victory in the end, which made Zhu Dilong happy, and finally listened to his words and accepted the surrender of the grassland.

"That group of Japanese pirates is really useless, thinking that they can still entangle the fourth brother for a while, causing him a lot of trouble and trouble, but it was solved so easily. something to come."

The two were certain that if it wasn't for Zhu Gaoyu's involvement, the Crown Prince and Zhu Zhanji would never have been able to convince Zhu Di to accept the grassland's surrender.

"One wrong step, one wrong step!"

Zhu Gaojiu punched the wall, and the dust rustled down like snowflakes, falling between his eyebrows, making him more gloomy.

"We can't just sit back and wait, otherwise, if it goes on like this, there's really no room for us to talk to the old man."

Zhu Gaoyu's eyes changed strangely, and his expression was dark and unpredictable.

"It seems that the third brother has some good solutions."

"Isn't the embassy coming to Yingtian soon, the old man is going to hold a banquet, one is to clean up the dust for the fourth brother, but to meet them and accept the surrender, why don't we take this opportunity..."

Zhu Gaojiao leaned over to Zhu Gaojiao's side and whispered a few words, Zhu Gaojiao showed a suspicious look and said uncertainly:

"Can this really work? If something goes wrong, we won't be able to explain it to the old man. If we don't do it, we will come back with a fishy body."

Zhu Gaojiu said gloomily: "The peace talks must be destroyed, otherwise once the negotiation is successful, there is really no place for the two of us to turn over."

His eyes fell on the wall, and there was a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, which was written by Zhu Gaojiu.

The beast's pupils are bright, with a ferocious look on its face, and its sharp claws are looming, with an extremely frightening aura.

At this moment, the eyes of the two brothers seemed to overlap with the tiger's eyes, glowing with a ferocious light, and they wanted to clean up all the people or things that hindered them.

......

Within a few days, the envoys dispatched by the various grassland ministries arrived in Yingtian. In order to welcome their arrival and to wash away the dust for Zhu Gaoyu, Zhu Di specially set up a grand banquet to entertain hundreds of officials.

"On behalf of all the ministries of the grasslands, we will show our loyalty to Daming, and I respectfully ask your majesty to be safe." Chake and Wuluhui were also in the embassy. They took off their hats and bowed, performing the highest etiquette on the grasslands.

"Your Majesty please accept our surrender. In addition, the leader ordered us to present cattle, sheep and horses, as well as various gold and silver treasures, which represent our sincerity and respect. The grassland is willing to befriend the Central Plains for generations."

Zhu Di sat in the first place and looked at the Jiangshu handed over by the chamberlain.

There are nothing more than 900 words of praise in the book of Jiang. Those leaders are sincere and want to please Zhu Di, and their attitude is very humble, for fear that he will send troops to expedition and let the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty trample on the grassland.

The expression on his face was calm and calm, making it impossible to see the clues. After a while, he said: "I have seen your sincerity."

The envoys looked at Zhu Di's expression, and felt a little uneasy in their hearts. The observers and Wu Luhui on the side looked at Zhu Gaoyu subconsciously. They saw him sitting in the seat, looking at his eyes, nose and nose, but he couldn't see anything. , the mood suddenly became up and down.

Could it be that King Liang did not persuade Zhu Di?

Thinking of this possibility, their faces were a little pale. If Daming decided to go to war with the grasslands, their envoys would most likely be used to sacrifice flags or be threatened as hostages.

Even if Daming kindly let them go back and didn't complete the task, they probably wouldn't have a good end.

Wuluhui wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I don't know what the emperor meant—"

"I--" Zhu Di said with a sigh, deliberately selling out, "Naturally, I hope that there will be peace and no more wars, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment and recuperate."

Hearing this sentence, the envoys sighed in relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"However, I have a condition."

.......

Chapter 253

The envoys had put down their hearts and raised them again, for fear that Zhu Di would speak loudly and talk about peace under the pretext of making them bleed, ceding the land and paying indemnities.

Wu Luhui asked cautiously: "I wonder what the emperor's conditions are?"

"In order to strengthen the connection between Daming and the grasslands, King Liang specially donated tracks and new carriages. We will open a special road to build tracks from the capital to the grasslands, speed up the transportation of goods, and build cities and trade centers."

"In this way, the two sides can also have more exchanges, deepen the relationship, and support each other. Whether it is the people at the border or the herdsmen, it will bring great convenience."

The envoys breathed a sigh of relief. What they thought was what Zhu Di meant. It was just building a road. It was not the same as before. The two sides established trade exchanges.

Although they don't know what the orbit is, it shouldn't matter if they think about it. There has been a precedent in the past, that is, the previous trading house. When they think of the institution that is in name only, they suddenly don't care.

"Thank you to the emperor for caring about the people and the people at the border. It is a blessing for us to be able to build the track. We have nothing to repay, only send the most sincere loyalty and blessings."

Even if they disagreed in their hearts, Chake and the others did not dare to show anything on their faces.

Zhu Gaoyu on the side heard their flattering words, and knew that these people underestimated the track. If they knew Daming's true intentions, they would not have said such words.

Wu Luhui showed an embarrassed look, "It stands to reason that it is a good thing to strengthen the exchanges between the two sides and build the track. We should have contributed to it, but the war has just ended, and we have little food and grass left, and the rest are all taken out. To the emperor..."

With his hesitant appearance, Zhu Di immediately understood the meaning of the words. It was nothing but poor and no money.

The grassland is rich in grain and grass, and there will definitely be some savings. It has not reached the point where the water and mountains are poor. Otherwise, how can they live on? It's just that these people don't want to take it out.

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth were also faintly raised, and his eyes were somewhat meaningful.

"You're welcome, since you have surrendered, you are also the people of my Daming. We are naturally obliged to help and support you. You don't have to worry about money, just provide some people."

Wuluhui immediately showed a satisfied look. Since they don't need to pay, they can do whatever they want in the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, they themselves are the ones who lose in the end, so it's not to blame for the grassland.

After the establishment of the previous trading office, I have never seen it make a profit. All of them are in a state of loss, so that they quickly fell. This time, the envoys and others are still not optimistic about the construction of the track. Anyway, they are not the investment.

"The emperor really has a kind heart, and I thank you again on behalf of the grassland."

Not to mention a few tracks, even a dozen or so, they are also happy, this kind of thing is thankless, and it costs money and time, and I don't know what Daming thinks.

How could the poor Chake and Wuluhui know about the assimilation of the nation and the invasion of civilization, they thought that Daming was shooting himself in the foot like this, and he was willing to watch a good show next to him.

"Then it's settled."

Whether it was Zhu Di or the envoys and others, both parties were very satisfied with the outcome of this negotiation. Zhu Di felt that he could subdue the grasslands without a single shot. Thinking of what Zhu Gaoyu said, the assimilation of the nation and the invasion of civilization should not be long.

On the other side of the grassland, the surrender letter was delivered, and they planned to take advantage of this time to recuperate. It was their own business that Daming was willing to toss, and it had no effect on them anyway.

"If that's the case, then please take your seats."

As everyone and the envoys were seated, the banquet also kicked off. The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful, and the sound of pilgrimages was endless. Between the cups and the cups, the ministers also smiled, as if they were New Year's Eve.

In fact, most people still hope to negotiate peace with the grassland and accept the surrender of the book. After all, whether the war is won or lost, it will bring more or less damage. If you can live in peace, why do you have to fight.

And in the palace, there are few times when it is so joyful and lively as it is now.

The maids served wine and food in an orderly manner, and shuttled through the crowd.

Zhu Di's knitted brows were all stretched out at the moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I am very happy today."

As the voice fell, everyone put down the wine glasses in their hands, and their eyes fell on Zhu Di.

"... Not only did we restore peace with the grasslands, but King Liang also returned with a triumphant victory. All the Japanese pirates in the southeastern coastal areas were wiped out. Since then, the coastal Japanese chaos has been eliminated, and there will be no storms in a short period of time."

Although there will still be people from Dongying in the future, but with the anti-Japanese soldiers trained and trained by Zhu Gaoyu, they will definitely not be able to be as frightening as before, to the point where the conversation changes.

I am afraid that before the climate has formed, it will be wiped out and wiped out by the anti-Japanese soldiers. It is absolutely impossible to restore the former glory.

"The arrival of these two news can be described as a double happiness."

Everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor."

"In addition, in order to strengthen the connection between Daming and the grasslands, King Liang has a new type of carriage on the track, which is also from his hands."

Regarding the civilized invasion plan, only Prince Zhu Di, Prince Han, and a few confidants knew about it.

(Nord's)

Listening to Zhu Di, everyone couldn't help but be a little curious, "I don't know what the orbit is, but it can make Your Majesty so happy."

"It's not uncommon to establish trade relations before, but the effect is not satisfactory."

The ministers were talking about it.

Zhu Di did not explain, but just showed a mysterious smile, "You will know when the construction is completed."

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing said a sentence very unpleasantly, "Building the track requires a lot of human and financial resources, and the Ministry of Household is really--"

Originally thought that this time Zhu Di would scold him again, or that the treasury was empty, and let him find a way.

Who knew that Zhu Di was so generous this time, "The money will come from the treasury."

With such a refreshing appearance, he was stunned by the Minister of the Ministry and the others. Could it be that His Majesty has changed his personality today, "Thank you Your Majesty for being sympathetic."

Chapter 254

It stands to reason that the construction of such a huge project will not necessarily be fully supported by civil and military officials. It costs a lot of money and consumes manpower, but in general, it is better than sending troops to fight.

In addition, Zhu Di was so happy today that he accepted the surrender of the grasslands, and now King Liang is in the limelight again. Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, they simply don't get lucky.

Compared with the joy of everyone, although the Kings of Han and Zhao had smiles on their faces, the ridiculousness did not reach the bottom of their eyes. Zhu Zhanji walked over with wine glasses and toasted them.

"Today is a good day, why doesn't the second uncle and the third uncle seem to be unhappy."

Looking at the smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Gaojiu didn't know that he was gloating and was about to have a seizure, but was suppressed by Zhu Gaojiu next to him.

"Eldest nephew, I think you're quite happy, but I still advise you, uncle, don't get too complacent."

"Second Uncle is right, but being complacent for a while is better than some people not being complacent."

Zhu Zhanji meant something, and his smile became more and more beating, "Second uncle and third uncle, please drink well, and I will not disturb you."

With what he said just now, it would be strange if Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu could drink it. Looking at his back, Zhu Gaojiu clenched his fists secretly, "This little bastard is always against us."

Zhu Gaojiao said in a deep voice, "How are your preparations going?"
