Wenyuan Pavilion.
Zhu Gaoxu is reviewing the memorial.
The emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanhe is also here.
Since the appointment of the emperor's grandson, Emperor Yongle seemed to have put down a heavy burden. Instead of becoming relaxed, he suddenly fell ill.
Zhu Gaoxu never expected that Zhu Di would fall ill at this time.
Therefore, he could only assume his responsibilities as the prince, handling government affairs in the court and appeasing the sick Emperor Yongle at the same time.
In fact, counting the time, this year is the 22nd year of Yongle, and Zhu Di died of illness at this time in history.
Although due to the arrival of Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di only conducted two Northern Expeditions, completely crippled the Tatars and Oaras, and recovered the Lingbei Province in one fell swoop.
But it was precisely because of the arrival of Zhu Gaoxu that the trajectory of history changed. The sudden death of Zhu Gaochi, the Hongxi Emperor in history, dealt an extremely serious blow to Zhu Di!
The beloved son died of illness, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away. This kind of blow is probably more painful than going into battle to kill the enemy.
Zhu Gaoxu was helpless and could only visit Qianqing Palace frequently, and asked the Taiyuan Hospital to do everything possible to stabilize Zhu Di's condition.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhanhe was trained well by Zhu Di and was already able to handle government affairs on his own. The burden on Zhu Gaoxu's shoulders was also relieved a lot.
At this time, a memorial attracted Zhu Gaoxu's attention.
This is an urgent report from the Navy, and the source of the memorial is Ning Guo!
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the memorial quietly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Why is this person back?"
"It seems that boy Zhu Zhanji is doing well in America!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe immediately poked his head over.
"Dad, is there any news about my cousin?"
"Well, see for yourself!"
Zhu Gaoxu handed him the memorial, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
No one on the American continent knows it now, except the Ming Dynasty.
Whether it is the American crops such as divine potatoes and sweet potatoes, or the equally rich and temperate American land, if the Ming Dynasty can completely control it, this will definitely be a major opportunity given to China by God!
That's why Zhu Gaoxu carefully prepared a fleet for Zhu Zhanji after successfully seizing the legitimate son, and sent him to the Americas to expand territory!
Zhu Zhanji and his party went to North America. In my impression, there was no decent political power on the North American continent at this time. They were all ignorant and backward indigenous tribes, and they even lived a barbaric life of eating hair and drinking blood.
It is conceivable that Zhu Zhanji led 50,000 well-equipped elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to come to North America. It was simply a dimensionality reduction strike, and it was easy to sweep across North America.
These indigenous tribes pose no difficulty or threat to Zhu Zhanji.
However, there are several civilizations in Central and South America, especially the Inca Empire, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and is considered the hardest bone to crack.
However, the Inca Empire should not be able to stop Zhu Zhanji. After all, this great nephew is the Xuande Emperor in history!
Zhu Zhanji had been trained and taught by Zhu Di personally since he was a child, and he had no shortage of abilities and skills. Coupled with the assistance of the top sage Yang Pu, and the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, if he still couldn't defeat the Inca Empire, then he It’s not Zhu Zhanji!
The American continent is not as hot as Southeast Asia and Africa. The American continent at the same latitude is similar to the Central Plains in terms of temperature and wealth. Moreover, the high-yielding crops native to the Americas such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are enough to feed a sufficient population.
As long as Zhu Zhanji successfully establishes a foothold in America and establishes a dynasty, with the rich and vast unowned land, abundant mineral resources, and the highly developed and civilized Ming immigrants, the Ming Dragon Flag can fly on the North American continent for almost longer!
Moreover, the level of firearms possessed by the Ming Dynasty now far exceeds that of other countries in the world, and even those Western barbarians cannot match it!
As long as the momentum of continuous advancement of firearms is maintained, it will be enough to compete with Western colonists in a hundred years!
Even in the process of fighting the West, it is very possible that the North American vassals will continue to absorb advanced Western technology and grow into the hegemon of the American continent!
But no matter how Zhu Zhanji's North American dynasty develops in the end, Zhu Zhanji is a descendant of the old Zhu family, and the North American dynasty is also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It is enough to ensure this!
It is not expected that the two dynasties can help each other in the future, at least they have competitors, and future generations will also feel the pressure and dare not act recklessly without any scruples!
After seeing it, Zhu Zhanhe sincerely praised: "My cousin is so awesome!"
"In just a few years, a dynasty was established in America!"
"What's awesome?" Zhu Gaoxu laughed angrily and scolded: "There's no one over there who can beat me, so I can just fuck you!"
"Okay, I'll go see my father and tell him the good news!"
This is indeed good news for Zhu Di.
Zhu Gaoxu always knew that Zhu Di missed his great grandson very much.
Even Zhu Di expressed regret many times. Zhu Zhanji should have been sent to North Korea to establish the country instead of being exiled to the Americas.
Qianqing Palace, in the bedroom.
Zhu Gaoxu walked in carelessly.
Zhu Di was leaning on the head of the bed at the moment, breathing heavily.
"Dad, great news!"
"Your great saint-grandson has made a great contribution and established a great Ming Dynasty in North America!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly sat upright, and his originally dull eyes suddenly shone with light.
"Second brother, is this true? Did that kid really do it?"
"Yes, the report is here. Zhu Zhanji's fleet has arrived in Ningguo and will enter Beijing soon!"
Zhu Gaoxu handed over the memorial with a smile. Zhu Di immediately took it and looked at it, but he burst into tears instantly.
"This kid...it's really not easy!"
"Boss, have you seen it? This kid Zhanji has finally grown up!"
The grandfather-grandson relationship between Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji is unmatched by anyone, not even Zhu Zhanhe.
I remember that before Zhu Di raised an army to quell the crisis, it was Zhu Zhanji's reputation as the "legendary grandson" that completely dispelled Zhu Di's worries and strengthened his determination to rebel!
After that, Zhu Di kept Zhu Zhanji by his side and trained him personally. It can be said that he put all his efforts into cultivating a qualified heir to the empire!
It's a pity that Cheng Yaojin, Zhu Gaoxu, was killed halfway.
"Okay, dad, you need to get well and wait for your sister-in-law to come to Beijing!"
"She should know Zhu Zhanji's situation best and can relieve your lovesickness!"
Zhu Di looked a little unnatural when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with embarrassment.
"Second brother, dad..."
"Dad, don't think too much and take good care of yourself quickly!"
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand impatiently, "I don't want to sit on this dragon chair and start going to jail so early!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di immediately blew his beard and glared at Zhu Gaoxu.
"Jail?"
"What does jail mean?"
"Why does being the emperor mean that you are going to jail?"
"You are such a bastard and a bastard, you are so ignorant and a bastard!"
"Ah, yes, yes..." Zhu Gaoxu said a few words impatiently, and then walked away.
Zhu Di looked at the rebellious son's back, but his eyes were a little red.
"Boy, thank you!"
