In October of the ninth year of Xuande.
At this time, Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji was no longer as brave as before, but he looked a bit haggard, with a poor complexion and thick dark circles under his eyes.
He sat on the Dragon Boat, wrapped in a small blanket, and let the wheels roll. There seemed to be no emotion in his eyes. In fact, he was thinking about the next step in his heart. This patrol must be done. Attack and kill some tiles, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.
The reason for this expedition to patrol the border is also very simple. Tuohuan of Wala killed Arutai and his son Shuonikan, and Arutai's second son Abu asked for money to join the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Zhanji keenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity to intervene in other countries' internal affairs and bring the Mongolian tribes under his command again, so he launched this border patrol, named Border Patrol, meaning Oara.
After the Ming army arrived at Ximalin, they began to plan how to raid Oara.
This is what Zhu Zhanji thinks.
This raid was urgent.
But Zhu Zhanji felt secretly that he seemed to have no chance.
He had seen the state of dying people. He was by his side when his grandfather died. When his father drove him to Nanjing, his physical condition was also declining.
In a year at most, he will pass away.
The huge Ming Empire will be handed over to his son, a child under ten years old.
But I have arranged everything, and I believe that Qi Zhen will be able to lead Ming Dynasty to become bigger and stronger, and move towards a more glorious path.
Zhu Zhanji thought in his heart.
The wind outside the Great Wall was biting, and Zhu Zhanji coughed twice, feeling extremely worried.
"His Majesty!"
Suddenly, Yang Rong's sonorous and powerful voice reached Zhu Zhanji's ears, and he said earnestly: "The people of our Ming Dynasty are now living and working in peace and contentment. Why does your majesty have frequent wars, which is a waste of people and money?"
Yang Rong had sent his followers out of the fortress five times and was very familiar with the situation outside the fortress.
Once this raid did not cause any casualties to Oara, then the Ming Dynasty would inevitably fall into a long-term quagmire of war.
At that time, Emperor Taizong made five expeditions to Mobei, and only once did he gain a lot. The other four times basically yielded nothing, but wasted people and money.
For civil servants, this is something they absolutely don’t want to see.
Of course, there is another reason.
Although Yang Rong didn't realize it, he still subconsciously wanted to prevent the war from happening.
Because war breeds meritorious deeds.
The Meritorious Group has always acted as a check and balance with the Civil Service Group. As a member of the Civil Service Group, Yang Rong naturally had to do his best to prevent the possible further expansion of the Meritorious Group.
Every civil servant wanted the Ming Dynasty to become the shape of the Song Dynasty and return to the state of "unable to punish officials" and "use culture to suppress military force".
But no matter what, whether it is Emperor Taizu or Emperor Taizong, they are both emperors immediately.
Due to the efforts made by their civil servants, one Emperor Jianwen ended the game and disappeared, and the other, Emperor Hongxi, died in ten months.
Although the current Emperor Xuande also has some shadows of Emperor Taizong and thinks about attacking Wala every day, under the subtle influence of their civil servants, he also began to be gradually influenced by the civil servants.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for civil servants.
And they also discovered that Zhu Zhanji seemed to be... dying soon.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji's last madness before his death was naturally reduced as much as possible.
After hearing Yang Rong's words, Zhu Zhanji remained silent, feeling a little tired.
Yang Rong's chattering words became more and more unreal in Zhu Zhanji's ears. He waved his hands feebly and said, "Bring me the territory map of the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Yang Rong immediately stopped admonishing him and soon, two sergeants brought up the map of the Ming Dynasty's territory.
That's right, it was carried over.
The map was unfolded in front of Zhu Zhanji. Looking at the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied.
Although, the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi and the Secretary of Xuanwei in Jiugang were all cancelled, and the Hetao area was also abandoned.
But at least the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty is still happy.
He sighed deeply, feeling that as an emperor, he should be able to report to his father and grandpa, right?
The abandonment of the Chief Secretary of Cochin indirectly led to the demise of the Xuanwei Department of Old Port. There was nothing that could be done about it. The corruption of Cochin officials led to widespread complaints, which eventually led to the Le Li rebellion. Coupled with the selfishness and incompetence of the eunuch Ma Qi, it was not cost-effective to conduct a long-distance expedition. .
It's better to give up, invest one million taels of silver and get back two hundred thousand, it's such a loss.
I believe that my father and grandfathers should be able to understand their suffering.
Zhu Zhanji sighed leisurely.
Although he is full of confidence, he is still full of worries about the future of Ming Dynasty, and he does not know what the future of Ming Dynasty will be like.
[You have been invited to join the Ming Emperor chat group. 】
Suddenly, a sound that was different from tinnitus appeared in my ears.
This sound appeared in his ears like thunder, which made Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji, who was already a little depressed and even a little nervous, feel a little stunned. The map of the Ming Dynasty that was moving in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Are you hallucinating?
What Ming Emperor chat group?
Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised. Although he had been confused these days and felt that his physical condition was deteriorating, this was the first time he had heard this hallucination.
"His Majesty!"
Yang Rong, who was beside him, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to express his humility and warmth. At the same time, he said to Zhu Zhanji: "I will go find the imperial doctor now."
Zhu Zhanji nodded, and Yang Ronggang stood up and was about to leave when Zhu Zhanji heard the voice again:
[The group leader 'Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong' has held a group meeting. Will you participate? 】
"Um?"
This time, Zhu Zhanji heard clearly.
It's not some auditory hallucination.
Someone did speak.
And the articulation is extremely clear.
"Emperor Jiajing...Zhu Houcong?"
This name made Zhu Zhanji think about it.
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had memorized the characters of his family very well since he was a child, so he naturally understood that this name was most likely the name of a descendant of the Yan Fan of the Ming Dynasty.
Plus the previous title of 'Emperor Jiajing'.
The smart Zhu Zhanji had probably guessed everything, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and sighed.
How will things happen in the future?
I knew it five hundred years ago, I knew it five hundred years later...
Could this kind of talk be true?
Zhu Zhanji was greatly shocked, but he felt calm in his heart, without any feeling of dying.
After all, he has looked away, no matter what it is, he won't worry anymore.
"I will participate."
Zhu Zhanji spoke slowly.
At the same time that Zhu Zhanji spoke, Yang Rong was stunned, not knowing what Zhu Zhanji was going to participate in.
Just when he opened his mouth and was about to say something, he saw that the surrounding space began to solidify. Zhu Zhanji's eyes became illusory and gradually turned into a vortex. The light in front of him became brighter and brighter, and finally gradually disappeared before his eyes.
Zhu Zhanji, attend the meeting!
…
Zhu Houcong came early and stood in front of the railing, staring at the scenery not far away, which was good.
This time, Zhu Houzhao came very early, and he didn't come up. He swam in the sea below, swimming around happily.
It can be seen that in these three months, Zhu Houzhao has become a good swimmer.
Although his real cause of death was pneumonia caused by falling into the water, he was treated by heavyweights at Taipei Hospital.
But Zhu Houzhao was already very wary of falling into the water and had already started working hard to become a good swimmer.
The affairs of the Zhengde Dynasty have been properly resolved.
Although Zhu Houzhao was still so absurd, the remaining chief ministers of the cabinet could only curse in their hearts for a while and did not dare to express it.
after all……
Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong both appeared!
This emperor's gold content is "helping and helping", who can do what? Aren't you afraid that the front foot will attack, and the back foot Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen will come and take you away?
Don't dare to control, don't dare to control.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao has been working in the swimming pool of the Leopard Garden these days. Occasionally, he wants to compete with the crocodile to see who can swim faster. Fortunately, the ministers persuaded him to stop, but Zhu Houzhao was just joking. , won’t take it seriously.
After all, he only learned how to swim, not the golden bell shield or iron cloth shirt from Zhu Yunwen... And of course, Zhu Yunwen didn't know the golden bell shield or iron cloth shirt. Recently, Zhu Yunwen has been saving points to buy the throne without changing martial arts. As a result, no one has any public martial arts secrets to use, and they are very dissatisfied.
In addition to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang, father and son, were hiking together and planned to have a meeting at the pavilion on the mountain.
It's just that Zhu Di is timid, submissive, and still making gestures. It seems that he is being blackmailed by his elderly father again.
Regarding this situation, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, my old father is theoretically unable to enter this Ming Emperor chat group.
And the little emperor Zhu Yijun seems to be mixed up with his eldest grandson Zhu Youjian. The Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian has transferred to a kindergarten teacher, and he always comes to class with his 'grandfather'... Wrong, it was a meeting, so his expression was a bit dumbfounded.
There is no way, who can resist a grandfather who is more than 20 years younger than himself?
Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen came together.
This is Zhu Biao's first time attending the meeting.
Compared with nine months ago, Zhu Biao looks a little thinner now.
It seems that handling the government affairs of the Taiping Dynasty is still a little difficult for Zhu Biao.
This is also normal.
After all, other emperors dealt with matters in their own time and space. They grew up in their own time and space, and they knew very well where it was difficult to recover and where they could grasp deeply.
Zhu Biao was parachuted into the future, and he basically didn't understand that time and space. He needed to reorganize the relationship between the characters, which was of course even more difficult.
but……
Zhu Yunwen looks older than Zhu Biao, but he is quite happy.
Zhu Yunwen tried his best to be the prince in the Taiping Dynasty, but he was afraid that he would not be able to inherit the throne until his death. No wonder he kept saving points to buy a plane to become the emperor himself.
In Taiping Dynasty, it was treated as an internship.
The only one who moved forward alone was Zhu Qiyu.
For Zhu Qiyu, he does feel like he doesn't fit in with everyone else.
Seeing this, Zhu Houcong went down and took the initiative to welcome Zhu Qiyu up.
But looking at Zhu Qiyu's appearance, he seemed a little depressed.
Zhu Houcong was immediately curious and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, Emperor Jingtai?"
"I have two children so far, both of them are princesses." Zhu Qiyu said depressedly.
"Harmful."
Zhu Houcong thought there was something else going on, but it turned out to be this: "It's okay, the princess is fine too."
For the modern Zhu Houcong, he actually doesn't have much feelings about having a boy or a girl. After all, Zhu Houcong will not worry about his heir.
After all, if Zhu Houcong really has an heir... then there may be a situation like "How can there be a prince in the world for two thousand years?"
Of course, if he lets nature take its course, Zhu Houcong wouldn't mind giving birth to an heir.
After all, in the future, I will definitely have more planes, and my trusted people will always be allowed to go to other planes to take charge.
But Zhu Qiyu and others are different. They still care about the successor to the throne.
After chatting with Zhu Qiyu, everyone quickly settled down.
Everyone gathered together again and had a great time. This 'family' meeting was once again held.
Before everyone could speak, Zhu Di took the lead and expressed his opinion. Thunder seemed to flash between his eyes: "I just saw it. The one who entered the group this time is my good saint grandson, Zhan Ji?"
Yes, every group member who joins the group will have a reminder for all group members.
Therefore, when Zhu Di saw his good saint grandson entering the group, he immediately sharpened his sword... Oh no, he immediately burst into tears and planned to have a good chat with his good saint grandson.
Let’s talk about diplomatic issues.
As for how and what to talk about, there is no need to say more.
After hearing Zhu Di's knowing words, Zhu Houcong just nodded lightly and did not dare to say too much.
Zhu Di also adjusted his breathing, clarified his rhythm and thoughts, and calmed his mind as much as possible. Then he smiled at Zhu Houcong and said: "Houcong, I have produced some Yongle No. 1 and No. 2 here. ,look……"
After hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Houcong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, interrupted Zhu Di's words forcefully, and then snapped his fingers, and a firearm also appeared in his hand.
This gun looks different from Yongle No. 1.
"Master Yongle, look at this one. This is the Jiajing No. 1 independently developed by our Jiajing Dynasty. The firepower configuration is quite good..."
As Zhu Houcong spoke, he handed the 'Jiajing No. 1' in his hand to Zhu Di.
Zhu Houcong didn't need to say anything. From the moment he took out the gun, Zhu Di's heart skipped a beat.
It’s broken, and the big customers have started production and research and development on their own.
Although there are many emperors in the Ming Emperor chat group.
Moreover, weapons and equipment are basically the daily needs of every dynasty.
But Zhu Houcong is Zhu Di's big customer.
After all, no matter what, it is impossible for a peaceful dynasty to spend as much money on military expenses as a dynasty that is at war!
But now, this dynasty that went to war has started to do its own research!
Not only does his export volume risk decreasing, on the contrary, Zhu Houcong is very likely to compete with him for business!
Suddenly, Zhu Di was numb.
But he still took a good look at Zhu Houcong's "Jiajing No. 1".
Soon, Zhu Di became nervous.
This gun is no ordinary gun, its performance is almost comparable to that of 'Yongle No. 1'!
You know, Yongle No. 1 is produced through assembly line processing and production!
And Jiajing No. 1 obviously also has such conditions...it must be the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration!
Zhu Di clenched his fists, and before he could speak, he heard Zhu Houxuan say with a smile: "Master Yongle, how about my gun? With such strength, how does it compare with your Yongle No. 1, Master Yongle?" "
After Zhu Di heard this, he was about to take advantage of the situation to comment and suppress, when he heard Zhu Houcong continue: "You have to pay at least five silver coins for each Yongle No. 1, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di understood.
Concern leads to chaos.
Jiangnan General Manufacturing Bureau is a shipbuilder. It only needs to open the line once in a while and make muskets. How can it be used every day?
Emperor Jiajing still wants to buy guns from him!
This move is just to lower the price!
At this thought, Zhu Di was very happy: "Three cents for profit, five cents is too bad. Do you want me to work for you for free?"
"Okay, deal."
I just wish I didn't bring some experts in debate and quarreling, otherwise I would have to talk about it properly.
Zhu Di and Zhu Houcong were thinking this in their hearts at the same time.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked at it in amazement, and then smiled and said: "I have a great harvest of food, who wants to buy food?"
"Father, my son needs the support of food and grass. At the same time, I hope that my fourth brother can sell some arms..."
The familiar trading time has come, and everyone has what they want, so they trade one after another.
Even the little emperor Zhu Yijun felt a little bored. He jumped up on the chair and shouted: "You are new Mr. Zhang, who wants to buy a famous minister? Please buy Mr. Zhang."
The absurd behavior of the little emperor soon attracted Zhu Di's ruthless iron hand. Zhu Di directly caught the little emperor, asked Zhu Youjian to hold his hands down, and started spanking.
So, under Zhu Yijun's resentful expression, he sat quietly, not daring to speak.
And although everyone is trading in a hurry, everyone knows what the theme of today's transaction is.
Zhu Houcong's elixir.
Zhu Houcong was not in a hurry to take action first, but wanted to wait until everyone was gathered.
After all, there is quite a lot going on in this group meeting.
The second group ranking, welcoming Zhu Zhanji and selling elixirs.
As soon as he thought about this, Zhu Houcong felt that the time was almost up, and immediately ordered: "Yijun, go and call up Uncle Huang who is swimming."
"oh."
The young emperor immediately jumped down from the chair, looked around, and said to Zhu Youjian: "Good saint, come down with me!"
Zhu Youjian:......
Therefore, Zhu Youjian hugged Zhu Yijun and walked down.
Not long after Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yijun went down, Zhu Zhanji, who looked quite pale and only slightly better than Zhu Qiyu who had just joined the group, walked up the stairs from the other side to the high pavilion.
As soon as he arrived, Zhu Zhanji saw the Ming Emperor in the hall and was a little dazed.
And when he saw Zhu Di, his eyes lit up: "Grandpa Huang..."
And Zhu Di was not in a good mood.
"Zhanji, sit down."
Zhu Di's face was as calm as a lake: "Let's talk to grandpa about Annan and the Hetao. Grandpa is very curious about this!"
After finishing speaking, he was quite gritting his teeth.
There is another chapter tonight
(End of chapter)
