Overseas trade? Does the eldest brother want to open the sea? "
"Yes, opening the sea is the first thing I do after taking office. When Brother Wenying arrives, we will prepare to conquer the island country. I will add some martial arts to my ascension to the throne to show that I am different from the late emperor. I can also tell the world about the late emperor's method. It’s not my way!”
Zhu Biao's words directly cheered up the three of them. Mu Ying was going to return to the court, which was a big deal.
Everyone thinks that Lan Yu is the strongest warrior under the prince's command, and he has indeed destroyed countless countries. He has reached the point where his achievements are not rewarded, and he has already reached the position of Duke. As long as he waits a hundred years, he will be conferred a royal title. of.
However, only people from the royal family really know that Zhu Biao's strongest general is Xiping Hou Muying. This is a powerful man with military power and fiefdom. He also has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command who are accustomed to fighting. It can be said that this is Zhu Biao. Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang's final trump card.
If Mu Ying hadn't died a little early, it wouldn't have mattered whether Lan Yu Fu Youde and the others were killed or not, because one Mu Ying was enough to crush them to death.
It can even be said that if Mu Ying had not died, even if Lan Yu and the other veterans were dead, Zhu Di would not dare to rebel if he lent him some courage.
The premise is that Zhu Yunwen didn't kill Mu Ying first.
"Brother Wenying is coming back. Why don't we know when he will come back? We haven't seen each other in more than ten years, right?"
Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan asked happily.
"No, brother, have you told him that our father is not dead? If you hadn't told him, I'm afraid he would have trouble thinking about vomiting blood again. You know, when our mother died, he had already vomited blood once, so His vitality was already severely damaged. I'm afraid that if you don't tell him this time, he will vomit blood. If this happens, Brother Wenying may not be able to bear it. He is a very affectionate person. You’ve also read the history books!”
Zhu Rui's first reaction after hearing this was not to object, but to ask whether Gao Gai had told Mu Ying that Zhu Yuanzhang was not dead.
"I know about this. I sent Jiang Yu and our father's attendants to go with him. We also took our father's video together and put them all in Jiang Yu's hands. He knows What to do!”
Of course, Zhu Biao had arranged everything. He also read the history books and knew that Mu Ying died of grief and illness due to his death in history, so he sent Jiang Wei and Zhu Yuanzhang's personal servant to go find him. He came back and brought the video with him.
"Jiang Wei? Is he okay? Isn't this guy capable of bad things?"
Zhu Zhu asked again. He knew about the discord between Jiang Wei and Zhu Biao, and he didn't like Jiang Wei, so he gave Jiang Wei a thorn.
"It's okay. I promised Jiang Yu that as long as he succeeds this time, I will forget the past and let him be the commander of his royal guards."
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Xi, smiled and said.
How could he not make any preparations? Didn't Jiang Wei love power? As long as he told him that once the matter was done and the official position would be forgotten, he would risk his life and do it. He would rush to change horses within eight hundred miles. Jiang Wei can still do it without changing people.
This kind of person is really easy to use. It is better to use it than to use it. This is the truth.
The three of them also nodded and told Jiang Ying that he would risk his life if he could not let go of the past, because what Zhu Biao said was not false, and everyone in the government and the public knew this.
"But brother, why are you going to attack the island country? This is one of the fifteen countries that cannot be conquered. My father has an edict. I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's wealth and strength, be greedy for temporary military achievements, and raise armies for no reason, causing harm to human lives. Remember, if you do this, the other small countries will do it at any time. Can we get involved in it?"
Zhu Zhen was not too fond of this country that was not conquered, but he had some ideas about how to destroy the country. Since ancient times, the highest military merit has been to rescue and destroy the country.
But it is impossible to rescue him, because according to the King of Sai system established by Zhu Yuanzhang, if a large army is needed to rescue him, it must be that the King of Sai has died at the border and foreign enemies have already invaded, otherwise there is no possibility of rescue. .
It is conceivable to think about destroying the country, but the residual Yuan in the north has been destroyed by Lao Si and Lan Yu. Lao Si already has the merit of destroying the country.
But none of the other Sai kings have it yet. This kind of thing is not about the scarcity but about the inequality.
Everyone is the king of Sai. How can you have the opportunity to participate in the battle to destroy the country and win the victory of destroying the country? I don't have this opportunity. This is not okay.
Besides, now that Zhu Biao is in power, everyone has no chance to cause trouble for Fengtian. If you want to leave your own reputation, the only way is to destroy the country.
Otherwise, when the world talks about King Sai, you will be the only one who is a well-known man. You are a good prince in Ming Dynasty. When it comes to us, you are bullying men and dominating women. How can we be like this when everyone is King Sai? The other kings have discussed it. I suddenly thought that the reason for this situation was that they did not have the merit to destroy the country and were slandered by others!
Therefore, they also want to destroy the country. As for the country without conquering, it is just a theory and cannot be taken seriously.
Besides, the relationship between the island country and the Ming Dynasty was not good. Zhu Yuanzhang sent Yang Zai as envoy to the island country to ask him to pay tribute and take back the hungry wolf of Japanese pirates, otherwise he would take action.
At that time, the island country was in the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The person who received the credentials was Prince Huairiang (the prince of Emperor Go-Daigo), the general of the Southern Dynasties who conquered the west. After reading the credentials, this person killed five people in the delegation and detained Yang Zai. Put it back after three months.
Not only that, someone from the island country at that time wrote a poem called "An Answer to the Ming Emperor's Questions about Japanese Customs":
The country is compared to the Central Plains country, and the people are the same as those in ancient times.
The system of clothes and clothes of the Tang Dynasty, and the rituals and music of the emperor and his ministers of the Han Dynasty.
Silver urns store sake, gold knives and plain scales.
In February and March every year, peaches and plums come from Yangchun.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always regarded "driving out the Mongolian Yuan and restoring China" as his great achievement. However, after this mission, the island countries praised themselves and acted as if they were the orthodox Chinese.
This kind of thing is intolerable. The history books at that time recorded: "The emperor hated his disrespect, cut off his contribution, and expressed his intention to conquer."
However, after thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang endured it and decided to use diplomatic mediation.
Later, in the 14th year of Hongwu, he sent someone to visit the king of the island country, but he was humiliated again by Prince Huai Liang.
Historical records say, "The emperor was very upset, but he finally learned the Mongols' mistakes and did not send more troops."
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's main focus at that time was on the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty in the north, and the strategic focus of the Ming Dynasty was in the north.
Moreover, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was completely incompetent at this time. Even the pirates could not be wiped out, so how could they fight across the sea? Besides, the island country was isolated overseas and was of no use to the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty did not know much about the situation at sea. They did not know the weather, hydrology, or astronomy and geography. How could they fight a war?
