In March of the 29th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Kaiping City was visited.
This former capital of the Yuan Dynasty, located on the Jinlianchuan grassland, is now the residence of Zhu Hehao, the eldest son of Zhu Cixiang, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty and King of Yan, and it is also a military fortress on the Megatron Fortress. During the era when Chongzhen was conquering all directions in order to quell the Jurchen rebellions in Inner and Inner Mongolia and Guandong, this place became a key place for Chongzhen to intimidate the grasslands and threaten the Jurchen flanks. It was also the ten thousand households of his Mongolian concubine Batma. Duo's residence.
In order to demonstrate the military power of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian also spent huge sums of money from the treasury to continuously build Kaiping City until it expanded into a huge city with enough area to station tens of thousands of troops and store a large amount of supplies. large bastion.
After Inner and Outer Mongolia and Guanwai Nuzhen were pacified, Patma Hong's Ten Thousand Households Ordo followed her adopted son Dun Wang Zhu Ciyu to move westward, and the military households belonging to Yan Wang Zhu Hehao moved in one after another. This place changed from the central palace tent of Mongolian Ordo to the capital of a Han vassal.
That's right, it's the royal capital!
Unlike other vassal kings (not vassal kings) in the Ming Dynasty who only had xunzhuang and no royal capital, King Zhu Hehao of Yan not only had a large number of xunzhuang and as many as 40,000 households, but also owned this tower standing on the fortress. The great city of Kaiping, and it was also crowned with the name of Kaiping as the royal capital.
In addition, Zhu Hehao also received the power of the governor-general of the military and civilian affairs of Yanning Town, and became a king of a feudal vassal state who managed the army and the people. Even the Thirteen Sai Kings at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty did not have the power he has now.
But having said that, Zhu Hehao was the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, the future supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the father of tens of millions of people, and the commander-in-chief of millions of Ming armies. If such a person is always kept in a deep palace, relying on a few so-called learned Confucians to teach some Confucian principles, and at most a few imperial skills passed down from father to emperor and queen, he will simply not be able to control and govern the Ming Dynasty. Such a huge empire.
He must systematically study military and civil affairs, and at the same time, he must get the opportunity to practice - how can he do something like running a country, leading troops, and becoming an emperor without going to the grassroots level and practicing it, and just rely on others to teach him some theoretical knowledge and just get started?
For a long period of time in history, the Ottoman Empire was full of British masters and wise kings. Each generation was a great leader, and they expanded the country's territory countless times! The trick was to let the sultan's sons become governors first, master the skills of running a country and fight in practice, and build a team at the same time. After the death of the old Sultan, he asked his sons to "race" to see whoever "runs" back to the capital Istanbul first will be the new Sultan. Whoever runs slower... Haha, that's more likely. I can't survive!
Therefore, the sons of the Sultan not only have to work hard to learn the skills of running a country and leading troops, but also work hard to exercise to ensure that they can rush to the capital day and night after their father's death - if they are a step too late, they have to flee for their lives. This is another new test of physical strength and perseverance.
The sultan who was born under such circumstances not only knew how to govern the country and fight wars, but also had a strong body. After ascending the throne, he was able to use the most energy to govern a huge country after he ascended the throne.
Later, this system was abolished because the fighting between brothers was too cruel, and was changed to the "captivity law." The standard of the sultan raised in captivity will be known by looking at the history of the decline of the Ottoman Empire...
And Zhu Youjian has obviously suffered enough from being "in captivity". He is such a smart emperor, but he did so many stupid things in his previous life. In the final analysis, isn't it because he doesn't understand at all? You see, he has understood this all his life, isn’t he wise and mighty?
So Zhu Youjian is now the man who knows how to educate children best!
Not only did he teach his son, but he also taught his grandson. Not only did he teach himself, he also set up a school (Junior Guard Corps, Guard Corps) to provide standardized and systematic education. He also arranged for Zhu Hehao to have a loyal minister who was best at taking care of children, who is the current The chief military officer of Yanning Town, the governor of the left, the prince Shaobao, and the Marquis of Dingbian Zhang Xianzhong!
Zhang Xianzhong is now elderly, an old loyal minister in his sixties. His hair and beard are all white, but his spirit is still strong. He is riding a big green horse and his back is still straight. From a distance, you can tell that he is a veteran. A veteran general who has fought hundreds of battles.
General Zhang turned around and glanced behind him. Behind him were a total of 3,600 cuirassiers - all trained according to the cowardly Xue Anda model of the Great Khan Zhu Cixuan. But it is not as powerful as Xue Anda, because Xue Anda is the elite selected from one hundred out of 3,600 Mongolian households! These 3,600 cuirassiers were selected from the 40,000 military households under the jurisdiction of Prince Yan's Mansion. There was almost one soldier per ten households, and the quality was certainly not comparable to that of the timid Xue Anda, who had one soldier per hundred households. But it's not bad, because the 40 thousand households assigned to Zhu Hehao by Chongzhen are all old thousand households. They are the thousands households that settled in the west of Jinlianchuan grassland and Qianli Pine Forest in Chongzhen for more than ten years, farming and herding. The 3,600 cuirassiers selected from among them are certainly not too weak.
In addition, the assistant ministers sent to Zhu Hehao by Chongzhen were also ruthless characters. In addition to Zhang Xianzhong, there were also Zhang Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, and Li Dingguo. These four are all professional soldiers from the Young Guards and Guards Corps, and they are the best at leading troops. Zhu Hehao himself was also a member of the Young Guards Corps and the Guards Corps, and he was also a very outstanding professional soldier!
Under the strict training of these people, the cavalry guards of Prince Yan's Mansion were of course trained into a first-class force. Over the years, they followed Zhu Hehao in his expeditions to the east and west, not only fighting against the nearby Yanshan bandits, but also near Lake Baikal. I have competed with the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom several times and won every time.
Zhang Xianzhong was also extremely satisfied when he saw 3,600 elite cavalry, all holding horses and carrying lances, forming several neat square formations outside the south gate of Kaiping City - today is a big day!
Today is the day when the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, his nephew, the newly-appointed Great Khan of Mongolia, the Emperor of Japan, the Supreme King of Annan and others moved from the Kulitai Conference venue on the Jinlianchuan grassland to Kaiping City!
According to reliable information, this group of Zhu Ming Dynasty monarchs, plus dozens of other princes, important ministers and dignitaries, are going to discuss some kind of Ming treaty in Kaiping City... After the treaty is completed, Long live the Lord will also make a deal. What is the date for abdication and inner meditation? I don’t know who the abdication was to? It would be great if His Highness King Yan could bypass his nephew and ascend the throne directly!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong picked up the reins and spurred his horse forward. He came to Zhu Hehao who was riding on the horse waiting to pick him up. He asked with a smile: "Master Qiansui, were you satisfied with my little girl last night?"
Zhang Xianzhong's little daughter let Zhu Hehao sleep with her...and she slept with him without a name or status! It turned out that Zhang Xianzhong's youngest daughter went out for a hunting trip in the city yesterday, and happened to bump into Zhu Hehao who had returned from the Kulitai Conference. The two of them had a friendly exchange and it got better. Zhu Hehao was not sloppy and took her back to the palace to sleep with her!
"Hahaha..." Zhu Hehao, who looked as handsome and handsome as in his previous life and was very popular with women, laughed when he heard the words, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Dingbian Hou! So... Marquis Dingbian, can I call you my father-in-law?"
"Well, of course I can't ask for it," Zhang Xianzhong smiled as if he was blooming with joy, "But can the Long Live Lord and His Highness the Grand nephew grant permission for the little girl to enter the Qian Live Lord's harem?"
Zhu Hehao just smiled: "Don't worry, Marquis Dingbian, no matter whether they are right or not, Gu will never be unkind to your beloved. One day in the future, I will make your beloved concubine... The two of us will Home, now we are even closer!"
"Then I would like to thank Master Qiansui first." Zhang Xianzhong cupped his hands on the horse and lowered his voice, "Master Qiansui... I can afford to wait. If I have something in my belly, I can't wait." Get up! When can you make her your concubine?"
"I'm afraid I have to wait more than twenty years..." Zhu Hehao glanced at Zhang Xianzhong and asked with a smile, "What? Can't you afford to wait?"
"I can wait, I can wait..." Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile, "As long as there is a certain date!"
