Sun, sand, waves.
But no cacti.
Zhu Houzhao looked around, looking full of curiosity and novelty.
"It's strange. This general was originally in the grassland, but now he is here in an instant... Could it be the trick of the Immortal Family?"
Zhu Houzhao murmured to himself, and he was now full of curiosity about this place.
After all, the name of the group leader is someone he knows.
The son of Uncle Xingwang and his cousin.
But this cousin is only ten years old this year.
The reason why Zhu Houzhao can remember this cousin's name is entirely because in terms of blood relationship, this cousin can be said to be the person closest to him.
"I don't know how long this meeting will last. I have to go back and have a fierce battle with the little Tatar prince. I want to see whether it is he, the little Tatar prince, who is more powerful, or me, the king of the country. Lord, the mighty general is awesome!"
Having said that, Zhu Houzhao immediately started looking around, and soon found a path with steps in the woods, leading directly to the top of the mountain, and there was a high building platform on the top of the mountain.
He looked at the high building platform and seemed to see a few little people wearing dragon robes on it. He immediately understood and realized that this might be the real place for the group meeting.
When he thought of this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile, and then he walked up the stairs quickly without any fear.
Zhu Houzhao was very fast.
Although he often plays around and plays, Zhu Houzhao's physical fitness is no joke.
He can even fight with the enemy hand-to-hand and kill them in battle!
…
"Houcong, take a look at the Yongle No. 2 just produced by our Yongle Chao Arsenal. This gun is definitely an enhanced version of the No. 1. Do you want to take a look..."
"Master Cheng, it's not that I don't want to buy it, but the performance of your Yongle No. 2 is no different from that of the Yongle No. 1. It just adds some decorations. It ends up being two taels more expensive. I would rather buy the Yongle No. 1. "
"Do you need cannon shells? The production capacity of this cannon shell is a bit low. There are only 200 rounds at the moment. Do you want them? I can sell them all to you."
"Okay, okay, we can collect the explosive bombs... By the way, do you want to sell the food? I haven't conquered Jiangnan here yet, so the logistics are a bit difficult."
"Young boy Houcong, what are you going to buy from Fourth for food? Do you think the fertile fields here are a joke? Do you want to eat watermelon? We have cultivated a lot of fruits over there. Do you want to sell tens of thousands of dan to the soldiers to escape the summer heat? ?”
"Taizu, where did you get the watermelon seeds?"
"I bought it from the mall, three points... I wanted to see what this thing was, so I bought it. There were several kinds of dishes I bought with it. Don't tell me. In the Hongwu Dynasty, there are so many kinds of dishes now. You, Mrs. Ma Grandma is looking forward to the new dishes from the imperial chef every day!"
"No dad, are you competing for business with your son?"
"Fourth! Let me ask you, how much food do you have? Are you comparing food with us?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di immediately smiled and did not dare to argue with Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is now a big grain farmer, and the supply of grain has exceeded demand. The price of grain has reached a level that will not fluctuate even in a year of severe drought.
Of course, the Hongwu Dynasty had been prosperous for three years, so there would naturally be no major disasters.
When Zhu Houcong saw this, he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, the equipment belongs to my grandfather and the food belongs to my great grandfather."
Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yijun on the side had nothing to say, they could only look envious.
Although they have everything, none of them stand out.
The weapons business and the grain and grass business have been monopolized by Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yunwen, on the other hand, has no desires and desires. Now his hair has grown longer and he already has the feeling of a martial arts master with a restrained aura.
I feel like I can last a few rounds against Yu Dayou.
Suddenly, Zhu Di thought of something and asked casually: "By the way Houcong, how is my traitorous son doing with you?"
"It's not bad. When we attacked Tianjin, I offered a lot of strategies, but they were all useless." Zhu Houcong also nodded and said, "How about I end the lease and send it back to you?"
When Zhu Di heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately waved his hands: "Forget it, let's practice over there for a few more days."
In the past three months, Zhu Di has become much cleaner.
He enjoys this life.
if you can……
Suddenly, Zhu Di thought of something and suddenly asked: "By the way, do you still want to rent a general? I also have a third child here, why don't I give it to you?"
"Thank you, but I refuse."
Zhu Houcong decisively refused.
What's the meaning?
This is a nursery, right?
Everyone is trying to get in my way?
And the moment Zhu Houcong had this idea in his mind, a pop-up window with small gilded characters appeared in front of his eyes.
[Note that each plane can only be rented by one person. After the number of people in the group reaches sixteen, three people can be rented. 】
Seeing this prompt, Zhu Houcong and Zhu Di were stunned at the same time, and then they felt something interesting.
It seemed that other group members also saw this prompt. Zhu Yijun suddenly rolled his eyes and said to Zhu Houcong with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, do you want your grandson to rent Mr. Zhang to you? Mr. Zhang is a capable minister in the world!" "
Great!
As long as Mr. Zhang is rented away, I will have one less lesson!
Zhu Yijun felt so beautiful that he couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Zhu Yijun's expression, Zhu Houcong immediately understood what he was thinking and shook his head: "Grandson, what are you thinking about? Zhang Juzheng should leave it to yourself."
Zhu Gaoxu is already one hundred and fifty taels a day old.
Isn't this just worth fifteen thousand taels a day?
Moreover, Zhu Houcong does not need to reform now. The courtiers have been dealt with and obeyed, and he only needs to give instructions remotely.
if it is possible……
"Can Qi Jiguang rent it?" Zhu Houcong asked.
Although Qi Jiguang was a famous general in the Jiajing Dynasty.
But unfortunately, it is now the sixth year of Jiajing.
Qi Jiguang is still a child, babbling.
It would be a bit cruel for you to let a child who can't explain a word come to fight.
It just so happened that Qi Jiguang, who was very experienced during the Wanli period, could borrow it temporarily.
After Zhu Yijun heard that his imperial grandfather did not want Mr. Zhang, the child's face was a little disappointed. He could only say "oh" and began to operate at will.
Zhu Yijun said: "General Qi wants 5,500 taels of silver a day, is Grandpa Huang sure he wants it?"
When Zhu Houcong heard this number, he immediately said: "Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Yes, it's a bit worth it.
He couldn't help this time, otherwise Zhu Houchong would definitely ask Zhu Yijun to help Qi Jiguang.
Before he could collect money from Zhu Youjian, he sent Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen over.
This time it was a loss, a big loss.
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help pouting, and then looked at Zhu Youjian: "Hey grandson, do you want it? I can rent Mr. Zhang to you, he is a famous minister~"
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhu Youjian felt ashamed and moved.
As much as he wanted it, money was spent wisely at the moment.
For reform actions, you can just copy them, or you can brainstorm ideas. Yang Tinghe is enough for the current stage.
At this moment, Zhu Qiyu said: "Everyone, the situation on my side is basically calm. The aftershocks in Zhu Qi Town have been resolved. Next, I plan to follow your opinions and expedition to Japan. I wonder if you can teach me how to do it?"
"I'm here to talk to you."
When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but smile softly, and then he changed seats with Zhu Youjian and moved to Zhu Qiyu's side, and he and Zhu Qiyu seemed to start chatting.
Seeing this, Zhu Houcong didn't have much energy to give Zhu Qiyu advice. After all, he still had half of the world to fight on his side.
"By the way, here are the new members."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Didn't we remember that there is a new member, the Ming Wuzong Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, your cousin is coming? Why didn't we see it?"
"It's okay. Everyone who has just arrived will take a while to arrive."
Zhu Houcong was very indifferent.
After all, this is the case.
No matter who it is, they have to wait for a while before they can come, so Zhu Houcong has long been used to it.
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down very calmly, and then said: "Okay, the evaluation of Emperor Wuzong in history seems not to be very good... What is going on? Do you want to teach him a lesson first? A meal?"
The other elders had nothing to say, but Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yijun didn't say anything after hearing it.
After all, whether in history books or in the teachings of ministers, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao was an emperor with an absurd nature and was a negative teaching material for emperors.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Houcong shook his head: "No, just because he is not well evaluated in history does not mean that he is not a good emperor."
"My cousin's personal ethics are indeed a bit ridiculous and playful, but when it comes to governing the country, he is absolutely unambiguous." Zhu Houcong said.
After all, he was a young emperor, so he was used to being unfettered. After he succeeded to the throne, he did a lot of things.
For example, he built a zoo in the palace, adopted many godsons who were older than him, liked civilian girls, and even stopped people from eating pork because his surname was Zhu...
Although the ban on eating pork was not implemented in the end due to Yang Tinghe's strong dissuasion, it was enough to show the emperor's playful temperament.
But assessing the merits and demerits of an emperor actually has nothing to do with personal morality.
Wu Zong acted resolutely and decisively. He killed Liu Jin in a snap, calmed down the rebellion of King Ning and King Ning, defeated the Mongolian princes, and provided disaster relief and exemption of taxes many times. In terms of policies, it can be said that he was not ambiguous at all.
And for this Emperor Wuzong.
There are many doubts.
In October of the twelfth year of Zhengde, the Battle of Yingzhou broke out. The battle was so fierce that the Ming army was once divided and surrounded by the Mongolian army.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Houzhao personally led an army to rescue, and the Ming army was able to relieve the siege.
The two sides fought more than a hundred battles, during which Zhu Houzhao ate and lived with ordinary soldiers, and even killed one of the enemies with his own hands, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army.
In the end, the little Tatar prince found it difficult to win and led his troops westward. The Ming army achieved a rare victory, which is known as the "Yingzhou Victory" in history.
I think that Zhu Qizhen led an army of 200,000 but became a prisoner of Oala in the "Tumubao Incident". This time, Wu Zong led 50,000 to 60,000 people to fight against 40,000 to 50,000 Tatars and achieved a military victory. Since then, the Tatars The fact that the soldiers did not dare to commit crimes for a long time was a direct result of this battle.
Moreover, in this battle, Zhu Houzhao personally conducted the command and arrangements. His tactics were correct and his command was skillful, which demonstrated his high military command ability.
However, the "Records of Wuzong" records that sixteen people were killed in the Tatar army and 52 people were killed in the Ming army.
What concept?
There were more than 20 major and minor battles, cutting and encircling, raids in the fog, and hundreds of thousands of troops fighting against each other. As a result, 68 people from both sides died together?
At this point, anyone with a brain knows the problem.
Moreover, there is too much black material about Zhu Houzhao... or about the Ming Dynasty emperor, and they all appear out of thin air without any basis.
Of course, it mostly appeared in the Qing Dynasty.
It can only be said that everyone who understands understands, but it is useless to speak to those who do not understand.
The general trend of Ming history is correct, but the details can only be said to have been profoundly changed.
But compared to "Magic Jin Shu Lu", it is still better.
Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Zhu Yuanzhang also understood a lot, and then he said with some hesitation: "You mean... this Zhengde was hacked into this? We haven't read the history books of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and we ourselves have also Hack him?"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Houcong, wanting to get the answer from Zhu Houcong.
After all, after the Zhengde Dynasty ended, it was the Jiajing Dynasty.
If anyone wants to change history books, then it is Zhu Houcong who is doubtful.
Zhu Houcong also heard the implication of Zhu Yuanzhang's words and couldn't help coughing slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
I can't say it's a bit embarrassing, it's really embarrassing.
He didn't know what Zhu Houcong was like in history, but he only knew that this was how he was recorded after he succeeded to the throne through time travel.
Zhu Houcong thought for a while, and when he was about to speak, he saw Zhu Houzhao walking up from the beach, looking pretty good.
After arriving in the main hall, he looked at the Ming emperors wearing dragon robes. He was stunned for a while. Just when Zhu Youjian was about to speak and explain the situation here to Zhu Houzhao, he saw Zhu Houzhao saying: "You are me. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, right? This general is Zhu Houzhao. He has met Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong... Well, this should be Emperor Jing, right?"
After that, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Houcong again, and then said in surprise: "You must be my cousin, right? I have met my cousin once before, but nothing has changed... But cousin, how did you become the emperor? ?”
Zhu Houzhao didn't know the other people, so he didn't speak.
Although Zhu Houzhao was playful and playful, he was also a smart person. After meeting a few people, he immediately understood that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were gathered here.
The portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are placed in the Ancestral Temple. Zhu Houzhao can recognize them if he looks at them every day. Zhu Qiyu mainly because he didn't live for a long time, many elders in the court knew about the Jingtai Emperor, and Zhu Houzhao also dealt with it. Some things about Zhu Qiyu.
And Zhu Houzhao...this cousin has also seen the portrait. After all, he is the closest member of the royal family, so Zhu Houzhao naturally has to take care of him.
Now that Zhu Houcong has become the emperor, this can't help but make Zhu Houzhao wonder if something happened to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were serious and he immediately asked: "Huzhao, what's the situation over there? How old is Zhengde?"
"Taizu, I am here in the twelfth year of Zhengde, and we are fighting against the Tatars."
When Zhu Houzhao said this, he immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, seniors, cousins, and those juniors, I, general... ahem, I already have a good chance of winning."
"The compasses and maps of each camp have been prepared. I predict that this battle will end in Yingzhou. The little Tatar prince is nothing more than a plaything in my palm."
The Tatar leader's name was the little prince.
Although it sounds a bit abstract, it is true.
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then said: "Huzhao, do you know that in the 16th year of Zhengde, you died due to falling into the water and had no heirs, and the throne was succeeded by Houcon?"
Zhu Houzhao:? ? ?
Grandpa Taizu, you said this.
How do I know what happened four years later?
Wait a moment.
How did Taizu know what happened to me four years later?
For a moment, Zhu Houzhao was shocked, but he soon understood the reason.
There must have been a junior who told the story.
After all, Zhu Houcong is here, nothing is impossible.
After Zhu Houzhao calmed down, he was still a little distracted.
Will I die in four years?
However, Zhu Houzhao immediately recovered and asked expectantly: "Ancestors, cousins and descendants, have you won the battle of Yingzhou? Are the tactics I deployed in Yingzhou effective?"
"We won, a big victory."
Zhu Houcong said: "But it is written in the history books that during the entire war, the Tatar army lost 16 people, while our Ming army lost 52 people."
Zhu Houzhao:? ? ?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Zhu Houzhao blurted out: "Just yesterday, more than 400 people were beheaded in the cavalry conflict. How could it be possible that only 16 people were beheaded?!"
Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.
It seems that there is indeed a problem with this matter.
In this case, there seems to be a problem with Emperor Wu Zong falling into the water.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty fell into the water and got into trouble one after another. How could such a coincidence happen?
It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the officials who recorded the history books.
This matter must be investigated thoroughly!
