Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Zhu Xiongying's fingers hanging on both sides were slightly curled, and he pursed his lips in silence...

Zhu Biao couldn't wait for an answer for a while, so he stopped giving instructions, looked up, looked at Xiongying's determined expression, and smiled: You have a character similar to your fourth uncle's, who is firm and persistent about one thing. , my father is very happy, but this kind of firmness and persistence is not necessary for everything.

You like to pick green, and my father has no objection. After she wears her crown, you can make her your concubine...

Your concubine should be someone who can bring you great help. What help can Cai Lv bring you? Her family can't give you any help. Help from your fourth uncle? As your fourth uncle With half a child, you can get help from your fourth uncle. In the future, will Tuqiao Village leave her the hired worker stock manufacturer?

This trading company will not only not be a help to you, but will also become a drag on you. Cai Lv controls a very influential trading company and is the concubine. What kind of consequences will it unleash on the world? signal of?

…

Although he dotes on beauties very much.

But he would never spoil his concubine and destroy his wife just because he favored a beautiful woman.

Adults do things not based on preference, but on weighing the pros and cons.

On the contrary, in the future, if your grandson is the daughter of a conservative leader who opposes the stock-employee system, and your concubine is a representative figure of the reformist group, such as Cailu, then, regardless of whether she is a reformist, Neither conservatives will point their fingers at you directly, they will all think of doing their best to perform in front of you in order to knock the other party down, so that you will be in an invincible position.

…

He already had some premonitions about how the situation would develop in the future.

Within the Ming Dynasty, two factions are bound to emerge.

The reformists and conservatives who support Lao Si’s ideas.

Don't look at the huge force that opposes this concept now.

But the fourth child had finally planted the seed.

And it has sprouted.

Scholars trained by common people will definitely have many people supporting this concept in the future.

Not to mention Fujian.

It was already the seat of the Ming Dynasty’s reformists and new atmosphere!

He has always paid attention to the news reported by Jin Yiwei.

Academic societies named after places were established in various places in Fujian to study rural village cooperatives and the employee-employed shareholding system.

Behind this, the powerful businessmen who follow Lao Si are providing financial support.

Young scholars in Fujian will be laughed at by their classmates as if they don’t talk a few words about rural village communities and the employee-employed shareholding system!

Some young scholars with great perseverance, ambition, and profound knowledge actually put forward some views in heated discussions and collisions that surprised even him after reading them.

For example, Fujian is currently discussing intensely the tax laws of past dynasties.

The tax laws of the past dynasties were actually mainly based on agricultural tax laws.

This is true for land tax and capitation tax.

As for commercial tax, it is a supplement to the tax laws of past dynasties.

Academic societies across Fujian are discussing why all dynasties have focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce.

All take agricultural tax as the main body of finance and taxation.

In the end, a conclusion was reached that was very different from the summary of historical books of previous dynasties.

Merchants are highly mobile and commercial goods are highly mobile. Merchants can easily form power-for-money transactions with official power.

Various reasons make it very difficult to collect commercial taxes.

Therefore, commercial tax cannot be defined as the main body of government taxation.

From the perspective of the main body of the tax law, we deny the conclusion that the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce in the past dynasties was due to the liberalization of commerce and trade, everyone engaged in commerce and no one farmed, which ultimately led to no food output!

Fujian Society explains the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business from the perspective of tax law subjects. It is almost subversive to the Confucian conclusion that emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce that has been formed over thousands of years!

This kind of discussion is still limited to Fujian.

But it is conceivable that as Fujian scholars passed the imperial examination, they left Fujian and entered the court.

This kind of subversive thinking will inevitably be brought in.

besides.

The Fujian Society is still discussing why the population in the past dynasties reached its peak of 50 to 60 million, but it could no longer grow and would face a rapid decline from prosperity to decline.

There are now two mainstream views.

1. The output of crops cannot support the increase in population.

This view was quickly and vigorously refuted by supporters of the second view.

A group of pragmatic scholars conducted interviews and surveys, combined with population statistics obtained from various government offices in Fujian, and came to a conclusion: With the popularity of corn in Fujian and the full establishment of rural villages, Fujian's grain output has almost doubled.

But in recent years, the population growth in Fujian has been very weak, only 10% higher than before!

In the end, it was concluded that the people's lives were much better.

But the urge to have children and have many children and many blessings is very weak.

After this group of pragmatic scholars visited the people, they found that the people were mainly afraid of having more children, and the accompanying increase in the capitation tax would lead to the current slightly affluent life, and the dilemma of returning to the past, with one meal and one meal.

In the end, the second view of some academic societies in Fujian was formed: The population cannot continue to increase, mainly due to the capitation taxes of the past dynasties!

Today, the two factions are arguing over this issue in Fujian.

According to Jinyi Weixin News.

Academic societies across Fujian are eagerly looking forward to Lao Si’s return so that Lao Si can evaluate which view is correct.

In this collision discussion.

Various academic societies in Fujian are now conducting in-depth studies on tax law and debating whether the main body of future tax law should be commercial tax as the main body of imperial finance.

Or rely on agricultural tax as the main body!

Even if he didn't go to Fujian.

Just by reading the news in Jinyi Guardian, one can feel how intense the new trend in Fujian is.

As for those stubborn and conservative gentry?

I didn't dare to speak under this kind of wave.

According to Jin Yiwei's secret investigation, even these young people from gentry family backgrounds despise their conservative elders for being too corrupt!

In Fujian, the east wind has completely overwhelmed the west wind.

Look at the court again.

Although there are not many people who support Laosi's philosophy, there are also many.

Sapphires left in the demonstration area.

Muying!

Fang Xiaoru, Lian Zining, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others.

Moreover, he also had a premonition.

In the future, the Yan Fan regime under the rule of Lao Si will definitely come up with all kinds of novelties. Eventually, with the complete liberalization of sea trade, relying on frequent sea trade exchanges, they will spread to the Ming Dynasty and influence more young people. people.

He even had a premonition that in the future, conservatives would react violently due to the continuous introduction of Ming Dynasty's novel trends.

For example, it promoted the friction between the Ming Dynasty and the fourth Yan vassal regime.

Or, Ming Dynasty will directly ban the sea again!

Regardless of the future relationship with Yan Fan, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably form a confrontation between conservatives and reformers both inside and outside the court.

Now, with his ambiguous attitude towards innovation, he can get conservatives to fully support him and regard him as the only option.

But in the future, the reformists will definitely grow stronger.

The hero must find ways to hold the two factions together at the same time. ஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜ

The best way is undoubtedly to have the concubine as a representative of the conservative faction and the concubine as a representative of the reformist faction.

Let the two factions fight.

Both factions have to please and support Xiongying.

A hero only needs to sit on a mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Does my father think that when we are children, conservatives will still have the upper hand? Zhu Xiongying's eyes flashed with disappointment.

He felt that his father was not very willing to promote the employment share system.

If the employee shareholding system is completed.

His concubine still needs to appoint a conservative representative?

Zhu Biao knew Xiongying's hidden meaning, so he was not angry or embarrassed. He smiled, pondered a little, and said: Xiongying, it is a very dangerous thing for us to promote this matter ourselves...

Look at the Fourth Brother, how many people hate him to the core.

He wasn't prepared to push it himself.

At best, it’s a slow and steady opening up of openings and restrictions.

Let the reformists and conservatives fight and bite each other!

In a subtle way, the reformists were supported to defeat the conservatives over a long period of time.

In this way, no matter how many people die or which people die, the people below will die.

It's all the result of them fighting each other and has nothing to do with the emperor.

The imperial power will not be shaken.

The emperor is always wise!

And the results that are beneficial to the world and the Ming Dynasty will be mature and implemented!

Zhu Xiongying was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know how to evaluate his father.

There is no doubt that my father is definitely a skilled manipulator.

The years of cultivation by the emperor’s grandfather are not in vain.

The tactics are very clever.

In the end, he successfully stole the fruits of victory of the reformists, shared the glory of victory with the reformists, and was highly praised by the people.

Can……

He disagreed with this kind of political tactics inherited from ancient imperial power.

In the past few years, I followed my fourth uncle and witnessed him accompany the New Army in First Town to practice every day.

The fourth uncle always said to them repeatedly: If you don’t have the fruits of your sweat, what you eat is not solid and what you eat is not delicious! Swallowing it may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort!

Father, once all these achievements are obtained by the reformists themselves through bloodshed and sacrifice, when the reform is finally successful in the future, the reformists will have unparalleled abilities after a difficult struggle test, but we have not experienced such difficult trials and enjoyed the results. , can we really just sit back and enjoy the success of the reformists’ ideas of loyalty to the emperor?”

He was certain.

Innovate a successful day this way.

There are only two possibilities.

1. The imperial power will inevitably be eroded by the forces of innovation, resulting in the decline of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty!

2. The monarch cannot accept this reality, so he must once again use political means to support a group of young people who desire power within the reformist faction and eradicate the older generation!

This group of young people are inexperienced and extremely greedy for fame and fortune. Otherwise, it would be impossible to form an alliance with the imperial power.

The newly supported reformists must have various flaws.

Because they were promoted too quickly!

In the end, it will inevitably have a very bad negative impact on the innovation results.

…

Zhu Biao was speechless again.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

In his vision, once the reformists defeated the conservatives, whether he was a hero or a hero, he would immediately start to eliminate the leaders of the reformists.

Replace the old with the new.

The same is true of the emperor's mental tricks and power tactics that he has accepted since he was a child.

The Qin Dynasty killed Shang Yang and Lu Buwei successively, but the Qin Dynasty has always implemented the ideas of governing the country left by these two capable ministers who had a huge role in promoting the history of the Qin Dynasty.

It's just a new batch of people.

Emperors of all dynasties have done this!

He didn't feel anything was wrong or wrong.

This is just a matter of power.

But then I realized what the fourth couple taught Xiongying.

Although there are many similarities with Song Lian and Li Shanchang's teachings to him, there are also essential differences.

If we say that Laosi’s first army is the New Army.

The fourth child’s teachings to this group of children can also be called new learning.

Seeing that Zhu Biao was silent, Zhu Xiongying said firmly: Father, my child just likes my senior sister. I only want my senior sister to be my first wife. My child cannot accept other people. My father's philosophy of governing the country cannot be interfered with by my child, but my child cannot. He will govern the country according to his father's way, and the child will be a reformist!

There was a slight pause as he spoke, and he thought of the last lesson his fourth uncle taught him in Zhang Beicheng.

Before the child came to power, and before the child did not have enough strength, the child was willing to compromise with the conservatives, but the child would never sit back and watch the fight between tigers. The child must be a staunch and hard-working revolutionary!

Only by going through hardships and hardships, and gaining the fruits of victory, can we hold on to it, and eat it deliciously and reliably!

As a superior, you can't just use imperial power.

You have to work hard like your fourth uncle!

Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown slightly, Do you know why Qin died after two generations? It's because they offended too many people, including the nobles of the old Qin and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms! So when Ziying killed Zhao Gao and officially took power , the nobles of the Qin Dynasty no longer want to serve the emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

His way was to prevent the emperor from offending others.

The conservatives suffered heavy casualties, and that was also caused by the reformists!

Zhu Xiongying shook his head, Father, I don't agree with this view. The reason why the Qin Dynasty failed was because every time the reform was successful, the Qin Dynasty killed those who promoted the change and promoted a group of new people rashly...

Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang worked together to promote the reform of the Qin State. The reformists respected and believed in Qin Xiaogong! The successor could have continued to receive the firm support of the older generation of reformers as a staunch reformist, but he opposed the change when he was young and became an adult. Later, they were afraid of Mr. Shang, so they had to rely on the power of the old faction of the clan to kill Mr. Shang as the first batch of staunch reformists. The reform will never be pure, and the rat will have both ends!

As for the First Emperor, who inherited the throne at a young age, he hid behind his mother and Lu Buwei, pretending to be an outsider, and watched Lu Buwei promote another change in the Qin Dynasty. He did not participate, and it was indeed less dangerous. But when he took charge, he enjoyed the results. , it would be impossible to control Da Qin like an arm, and Lu Buwei must be eliminated. It was this repetition that caused the Da Qin royal family to offend everyone. When the authority still existed, the rule of the dynasty could continue. When the authority was gone, the imperial power It will inevitably collapse!

…

Zhu Biao listened silently.

He knew very well that these ideas must have been taught by Lao Si.

It is indeed Zhu Di's idea.

Zhu Di has a deeper understanding of history than anyone else in the world today.

Not only does he know the past.

Know more about the future.

Historically, 'his' descendant, the unworthy descendant Wanli who did not go to court for more than ten years, is exactly the same as the First Emperor to a certain extent.

He succeeded to the throne when he was young.

Hiding in the palace, pretending to be an outsider.

Sit back and watch the courtiers outside conquer the world for themselves.

After Wanli took charge.

When you want to enjoy the fruits.

Without practical participation, Wanli certainly could not make full use of the reformist team left by Zhang Juzheng.

There are constraints everywhere. ‘’‘u’‘x’‘.’‘c’‘o’‘m’

As a result, Emperor Wanli immediately liquidated the reformists after Zhang Juzheng's death.

In order to stabilize the imperial power.

Emperor Wanli did more than the First Emperor.

Directly liquidated the entire reformist faction.

Enable conservatives.

As a result, the results of Zhang Juzheng's New Deal were almost completely in vain.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng only lasted for sixty years for the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Di's education for heroes is that those in power need to master power, but they cannot be obsessed with or superstitious about power.

You also need to have the courage to do it.

Without hard work, the fruits of victory obtained by using power will not be stable after all!

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying, his lips moved several times, but he didn't know what to say.

There is a fundamental difference between their father and son's views on power.

Prince, I have something urgent to report to you!

The sound outside the hall interrupted Zhu Biao's thoughts.

Zhu Biao decided to put this issue aside for the time being and talk about it later when he figured out how to effectively persuade Xiongying.

Enter!

Squeak!

The voice fell and the door opened.

Jiang 𤩽 walked in.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying slightly stunned, the next second, he walked over quickly, saluted, and said hurriedly: Prince, Duke Zheng committed suicide!

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Xiongying was very calm.

Uncle, he had expected this result.

If he is the father.

Even without the fourth uncle taking action, he would directly kill the uncle, and make the punishment known and publicize the dirty things that the uncle had done.

Those who bring it upon themselves are not worthy of pity and sympathy, no matter who they are.

Fourth uncle said it.

The emperor enforces the law for the world!

Law, no selfish feelings!

When he was in Liaodong, he hated his uncle's behavior.

I originally thought that after the Feng Sheng incident, my fourth uncle took a step back from his uncle, and he should learn to restrain himself.

He has been with his fourth uncle these years and has not paid much attention to his uncle.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the dog still can’t change its habit of eating shit.

…

Zhu Biao came to his senses.

He snatched the letter from Jiang Jian and Chang Mao's handwritten letter of confession.

As he watched, his face gradually turned dark.

Snapped!

At a certain moment, he slammed the letter in his hand on the desk and roared angrily: How dare he! How dare he! This is a dirty and despicable political assassination!

He didn't believe that a person like Chang Mao would be so willing to risk his life!

In the Feng Sheng incident, Lao Si once used the method of copying Feng Sheng's letters.

But this time, the fourth child’s methods were even more dirty and dark!

Political assassination!

This kind of method is the most bottomless and despicable in politics!

go!

Zhu Biao pointed at the palace door, Send out the Jinyi Guards to capture the fourth child!

Jiang 𤩽 didn't dare to move.

wry smile.

Catch Zhu Silang?

If Jin Yiwei goes to Dongfan, he will probably be killed by Zhu Silang directly after he reveals his intention!

He had long noticed that Zhu Silang after the Northern Expedition was different from before!

Jiang 𤩽 looked at Zhu Xiongying.

Xiongying didn't want to speak, but he was also worried that Zhu Biao would act irrationally in anger, so he took a step forward and said, Father, how can we conclude that it was the fourth uncle who did it...

snort!

Zhu Biao snorted coldly and pointed to the letter: This contains the conclusion of the autopsy conducted by Guiyang Mansion. The dose of poison in Chang Mao's stomach was very small, but it was above the throat. The remaining dose of poison was large. The inference was made that your uncle was After being knocked unconscious, he was forced to take poison.

New ℴ𝓂

The fourth child left such an obvious flaw.

He clearly wanted to tell everyone on purpose!

provocative! This is a provocation!

Zhu Xiongying is not surprised.

The uncle stepped on the fourth uncle's bottom line.

Fourth uncle's revenge has no bottom line at all.

He knew very well the status of his fourth aunt in his fourth uncle's heart.

So what if you use this method to kill your uncle?

If something really happened to the fourth aunt at that time.

He was certain that Fourth Uncle's troops had already crossed the Great Wall!

Father, this cannot be proven that it was my fourth uncle who did it. I can only say that my uncle may have been murdered, or he may have committed suicide by taking poison. He regretted it halfway through the drink, so there is an excess stomach left above the throat...

The corners of Jiang 𤩽's lips twitched fiercely.

How biased must the grandson be to Zhu Silang to come up with such sophistry?

Did you regret half the drink?

Chang Mao heard that the coffin boards might not be able to hold it down!

Father, this matter is too big. Even if my fourth uncle needs to be punished, I am afraid that only the imperial grandfather can make this decision.

The father felt insulted.

But he never thought about it.

The fourth uncle actually had many opportunities to kill his uncle Chang Mao.

Father, if the fourth uncle wants to kill the uncle, he has many opportunities. When the uncle kills prisoners at Yuerhai Camp, according to the military regulations of the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle can justifiably kill the uncle!

Fourth uncle actually just wanted to see what his father would do!

No doubt, the father's behavior.

Fourth uncle was deeply hurt.

His feelings towards his fourth uncle and his father were the same.

From a neutral perspective, he believed that his father had done something wrong.

My father should have given his fourth uncle an explanation at that time!

It's not like he completely hurt his fourth uncle.

And the fourth uncle's use of this political assassination method that let go of the bottom line is actually a warning to all enemies.

It’s also an emotional outlet!

The father felt offended by his fourth uncle.

But has his father ever considered how chilling his behavior was to his fourth uncle?

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, he realized that when he first learned about Chang Mao's role, he was only thinking about himself and not thinking about the fourth child.

He thought that by permanently demoting Chang Mao and not allowing Chang Mao to return to Beijing, he could appease the fourth child.

…

Zhu Biao lost his temper.

He sat down slowly, remained silent for a moment, and then waved his hands, You all go down, Jiang 𤩽 go tell your majesty the news and let your majesty make a decision.

As you command!

When Jiang 𤩽 took the order and turned around, he glanced at Zhu Xiongying vaguely.

…

Royal study room.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the letter, looked up at Jiang Xi, and asked, What is the prince's attitude?

The prince was very angry at first, the grandson... Jiang 𤩽 described Zhu Biao's reaction in detail.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and pointed to the autopsy report prepared by him, This autopsy report is inaccurate. Chang Mao, Duke of Zheng, is too young and in a high position. He cannot withstand the failure of the Northern Expedition and is afraid of the hardships in Yunnan. It really embarrasses King Kaiping. , order them to be buried on the spot!

…

Jiang 𤩽 listened carefully.

It was already understood that the emperor was going to finalize Chang Mao's death.

Anyone who dares to publicly contact King Yan about this matter is seeking death!

When a prince dies, according to court rules, he should at least be brought back and buried with him in the imperial mausoleum.

But now, the emperor allowed him to be buried on the spot.

It can be seen that the emperor hates Chang Mao in his heart.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Jiang Jian hurriedly said: I understand, I will go to Guiyang Mansion immediately.

As Jiang 𤩽 left.

Unable to withstand the blow and fearing the hardships in Yunnan, the news that Chang Mao committed suicide by taking poison soon spread in Jinling City.

The people only briefly commented on this.

Lost interest quickly.

Compared to Chang Mao's death.

People are actually more curious about Fujian’s taxes this year!

Hey, King Yan is really gone.

This time, King Yan may be really chilled.

If it were me, I would also be disappointed. I am thinking now that if Fujian has more taxes this year, let King Yan take it away. Otherwise, our Ming Dynasty will be really sorry for King Yan.

…

Compared with the people's indifference to Chang Mao's sudden death.

All the officials in the court were talking about it.

This is Zhu Si's method!

Political assassination! Zhu Si actually used such dirty, despicable and bottomless means!

He is reminding all of us that if others step on his bottom line, he can have no bottom line!

This king is an inhuman beast!

…

Everyone who hated Zhu Di felt a chill all over his body.

Hu Mansion.

study.

Hu Dahu couldn't believe it, and stared at the dripping water under the hem of Hu Weiyong's clothes.

My father was so frightened that he peed! ?

Father, what are you afraid of? Regarding this matter, after you came back, you helped Zhu Silang calm down many people who were shouting and killing.

Hu Weiyong came back to his senses, his face turned pale without a trace of blood, and he stared angrily in embarrassment, Shut up!

Others don't know.

But he knows it himself.

It was he who gave Chang Mao advice behind his back!

Did Chang Mao betray him?

…

Hu Weiyong forcibly suppressed his fearful thoughts, looked at Hu Dahu, and said with trembling lips: Next, you stay in Jinling City and don't leave the city!

He also wants to stay in Jinling City.

Jinling City is the imperial capital.

It is difficult for Zhu Si's power to penetrate.

And if Zhu Si's power penetrates into Jinling City, he will be killed.

That is a humiliation and provocation to the entire Ming Dynasty!

Also, isn't Wei Guogong going to open a nursing home in the name of Zhu Si? You take a sum of money and send it to Wei Guogong, saying it is a piece of your heart from our Hu family!

This may not dispel Zhu Laosi's anger.

It's better to do it than not do it, right?

Hu Dahu's face gradually turned pale and his whole body was shaking. He already understood that his father was also involved.

Father, why are you provoking Zhu Laosi, the god of death?

…

Inside Jinling City.

The elite once again felt the fear from Zhu Di.

Those who are hostile have a guilty conscience and are in panic.

It's mid-October.

Chief envoys from various places returned to the DPRK one after another.

Discussions about Fujian's tax issues are even more noisy.

The court officials were also curious.

Many people hope that Fujian’s taxes will fall off a cliff this year.

After all, this money had been promised to Zhu Di by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The court could only listen to a number.

The Fujian Chief Envoy will directly transfer this year's taxes to Dongfan after collecting them.

Millions of taels of silver.

Only exchange for fifty warships!

What a loss!

…

at the same time.

The three members of the Military Intelligence Division, who were lurking around, finally returned to Dongfan from Fujian with the help of members of the Military Intelligence Division in the merchant fleet.

The palace.

study.

Your Majesty, the three men in humble positions followed the prince's instructions and deliberately fed Chang Mao poison after knocking him unconscious. After interrogation in humble positions, it was found that the former Prime Minister Hu Weiyong was behind the scenes...

When we left Fujian, we heard that His Majesty had concluded the coffin of Chang Mao's death...and that His Majesty asked Guiyang officials to bury Chang Mao on the spot...

Zhu Di sat behind the desk and listened quietly.

His father indulged him.

My lord, do you want us brothers to lurk back to Ming Dynasty again and bring Hu Weiyong...

Zhu Di came back to his senses, looked at the captain of the Military Intelligence Department, made a gesture of cutting his throat, smiled and shook his head: No need...

It was impossible for him to let his brothers go to the most densely populated area of ​​Jinling Jinyi Guards to carry out assassinations.

Even if the task can be completed.

They probably won't be able to escape either.

Moreover, his father had already indulged him. If he sent people to Jinling to assassinate Hu Weiyong again.

It's just a slap in the father's face.

His father might even indulge him.

But just because your parents are indulgent, you can't indulge without any bottom line.

We have plenty of opportunities to kill Hu Weiyong, so we don't want to fight for this moment. Zhu Di smiled and asked: Apart from His Majesty's decision to seal Chang Mao's coffin, is there no other news? For example, the prince...

He was venting his emotions to his older brother.

But I never thought about making my eldest brother angry.

Not to mention brotherhood.

For the sake of Xiongying, he didn't want to do this.

The three members of the Military Intelligence Division shook their heads.

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: You have worked hard this time, have a good rest. Soon, we will use troops against Luzon. When the time comes, your Military Intelligence Department will be fully mobilized...

The three young men immediately stood up excitedly, Yes!

…

Send away three MI brothers.

Zhu Di came to the back house.

Xu Miaoyun, Wu Yunqige, Zhu Jingjing, Mingyue, Mingxia, Liao Miaoxian...

A group of female relatives were chatting.

Yong Ming, Qi Hua, and Tuo Lie were playing.

After Chunxiao and the others returned to Dongfan, Zhu Di arranged for them to go to research institutions such as the Agricultural Science Institute, Arsenal, and Shipyard of the Military Intelligence Department.

He didn't want these kids to become officials.

This is a bit of selfishness on his part.

Being an official is too dangerous.

He can protect the children.

But in the future, he and Miaoyun will be gone.

Yong Ming inherited his legacy, if these children are on the wrong side of something.

Yong Ming weighed the pros and cons and was afraid that he would have to raise his butcher knife against his brothers and sisters.

Politics has been like this since ancient times.

So if possible.

He didn't want these kids to get involved in politics.

He wanted to try it first and let the children do various researches.

Research crops, research ores, research machinery, research technology...

No matter what they are good at.

He can support them to become a great generation.

Fame and wealth are indispensable to children.

Moreover, there are many, many people who are willing to be officials, retainers, and slaves.

But in this era, there are very few people who can do research.

Children who have mastered a lot of mathematical knowledge will undoubtedly have an advantage in this regard.

As a master, he could write books about their research results, and use their research results to grant them titles.

Engage in academics and participate less in politics.

safest.

If you produce results, you can also rely on academic results for commercialization.

It was the best choice for him, Yan Fan, and for the children.

Of course, if you have children, you really don’t have this talent.

Then we can only arrange to join the military and politics.

Abba!

Xiao Qihua discovered Zhu Di, left Yong Ming and others behind, shouted happily, opened her arms, and ran over.

Zhu Di bent down and picked up the little girl.

When everyone saw Zhu Di, they stood up one after another.

After Zhu Di said a few words to a group of female family members, he looked at Yong Ming, Tuo Lie, Zhu Jingjing's eldest son Li Lin, and Shang Bing.

You four boys, come out with me.

Wow!

Dad is finally going out!

Xiao Qihua's beautiful big eyes suddenly shone.

Dad has not stepped out of the house since he came back.

Xu Miaoyun and others were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

…

Zhu Di took Yong Ming and four others out of the house.

The prince has left the palace!

Phew! I'm worried to death, the prince is finally out of the house!

No, I have been very worried during this time.

…

When the craftsmen and people who were busy in the bay saw Zhu Di showing up with his four children, they all smiled and talked a lot.

After Zhu Di came back, he stayed behind closed doors.

The whole bay was filled with worry.

Now Zhu Di appears.

Everyone has a feeling that the sky will clear after the rain.

Zhu Di took the four children around the bay and finally came to Dongfanfu Yamen.

Tan Yuan, Yu Jing and others had already arrived after hearing the news.

When Zhu Di entered with his four children.

All the civil and military officials sitting in the conference hall stood up.

Meet the prince!

Civil servants bowed, and generals beat their chests in salute.

Zhu Di came to the main seat and sat down.

Four children stood on either side.

Zhu Di looked around and his eyes fell on Jiang Jinzhong: Jinzhong, how is the construction progress of the Martyrs' Shrine?

Your Majesty, in another half month, the Martyrs' Shrine will be completed.

Zhu Di nodded and turned to look at Tan Yuan: Have the ashes and pensions of the brothers who died in the war been sent to their families?

Sent it away, Your Majesty, the folks didn't blame you. They all asked the brothers if they were brave on the battlefield. Tan Yuan comforted.

After the prince came back, he stayed behind closed doors.

It wasn't until the Military Intelligence Department killed Chang Mao that he came out.

In fact, it's not just revenge for the princess and the others.

It is also to avenge the brothers.

Zhu Di nodded reluctantly, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became sharp, Use the fastest speed to restore the first army town to full strength. At the same time, recruit young Mongolians, Dongfan aborigines, and relocated people to form the second mixed association. , the third mixed association, the fourth mixed association, the fifth mixed association...

The shipyard, in addition to continuing to refit warships for Liang Daoming, is also starting to build warships. This warship is equipped with thirty cannons, and some new technologies on the flagship, such as the collision angle and the power storage cabin. Used on newly built warships...

In addition, using a large warship like the flagship to build a transport ship is not to transport goods, but to transport people. For some time in the future, we will continue to transport prairie prisoners from the Central Plains. At the same time, in the future, we will base ourselves on the four seas and project troops. There is a need for new ships that are suitable for people to live for a long time and can accommodate more people...

…

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

This is true even for Jiang Jinzhong who has to pay.

Everyone understands.

Their Yan Fan is about to officially launch a round of external expansion.

The first town of the Army, plus five mixed associations!

The troop strength reaches 50,000!

A new, medium-sized warship equipped with thirty cannons!

Explore and develop new special ships for delivering military power.

If completed.

Yan Fan's strength will expand rapidly!

Zhu Di looked around at everyone as he spoke, and a vigorous momentum enveloped the entire meeting hall. Next year, His Majesty will lead the imperial court officials to tour the south. At that time, I will invite the Ming Dynasty court to watch our conquest of Luzon. Therefore, starting from next year, the new army will The four mixed associations must be completed!

Wow!

The army general stood up instantly.

Standing at attention and beating his chest, I will make sure to complete the mission!

Everybody knows.

Next year we will conquer Luzon.

It was Yan Fan who really showed his fangs to the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Di pressed his hands.

After Tan Yuan and others sat down, he turned around and asked Jiang Jinzhong, Jinzhong, can our Yan Fan have the financial resources to support such a big move?

Jiang Jinzhong smiled and said: Your Majesty, there is no problem in the initial stage. However, the equipment and four mixed associations and the surge in expenditure are still beyond our capabilities. We need Your Majesty to go to Fujian as soon as possible to get the Fujian fiscal and tax revenue that His Majesty promised us this year. , it’s definitely enough.”

Moreover, Mr. Ye has sent people here several times to ask the prince to go to Fujian as soon as possible. The academic societies in Fujian have been arguing fiercely on some issues this year, and they are all looking forward to your visit.

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

I understand. We will leave for Fujian tomorrow to get back the money His Majesty promised us from Dongfang as soon as possible. You can start preparations according to the arrangements I just made.

By the way, how is the situation in the shipyards of powerful merchants?

Yu Jing smiled and said: Your Majesty, shipbuilding has begun. The scale is very large. It is not inferior to our Jilongyu Shipyard. Your Majesty, would you like to go and take a look?

Zhu Di thought for a moment and nodded, Okay, let's go to this shipyard this afternoon. If they have free manpower, we can also hand over our warship orders to them, and we can also authorize them to use the technology we have. …”

…

On the same day, the civil and military forces at sea, land and sea began to recruit troops according to Zhu Di's order.

The Jin Yiwei in Jilong Island suddenly panicked.

After all, the scale of this recruitment is too large.

Add four hybrid associations at once!

The people placed by the Military Intelligence Department at the Jinyiwei stronghold quickly conveyed the news back.

Mao Xiang deliberately arranged for Jin Yiwei to leave Dongfan on a merchant ship.

Zhu Di has not yet left for Fujian.

When the news came that the Yan vassal had expanded its army and revealed its majestic fangs, they had already flown to Jinling.

Before the process of the southern tour, I will not use too much writing, and I will start the southern tour soon.

The climax of the southern tour was to let all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty watch the Yan vassal conquer Luzon.

Shamelessly ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
