It’s winter in Beijing and it’s snowing!
The first snow in Beijing this year came nearly half a month earlier than Zhu Heji expected, and it was also exceptionally heavy. It was just the first snow, and everything inside and outside Beijing was completely white.
This kind of snow, under the influence of Zhu Heji, seems to be only found in the Northeast and Rakshasa Kingdom, and now it has actually fallen to Beijing... This is probably the coldness of the Little Ice Age, right?
When the first snow came in Beijing, Zhu Heji was not in the city, but moved to the newly renovated Zizhuyuan outside the city - he has now handed over all the government affairs of the left-behind department in Beijing to his father Zhu Tianwang and Beijing Zhuge Sanhe was left behind, and he took Da Boling, Li Wenji, Aoi Zhen, Zhou Yubing and several other concubines and girls who were accompanying him on the expedition to hide in Zizhuyuan for a vacation.
In his early years, oh, it should be his "late years" (more than three hundred years later) when he was studying in Beijing, he often visited this area and was very familiar with it. But there is no Zizhuyuan Park that he is familiar with. There is only the Zizhuyuan of Wanshou Temple.
When Zhu Heji arrived in Beijing, the temple had been abandoned for some days. In order to regain some memories of his "late years", he had the temple converted into a palace and renovated.
However, the universities around Zizhuyuan, as well as the Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace, and the Beijing Zoo that "does not allow hunting" will not appear for a while. By the way, Yuyuantan and the Diaoyutai next to Yuyuantan both exist now, but they are very different from the Yuyuantan and Diaoyutai that Zhu Heji knew in his "later years". There are only some dilapidated villas for wealthy families. Zhu Heji originally planned to renovate the mansion and other courtyards there, but found that he could not find enough manpower to do the work.
Today's Ming Dynasty is only a country with a population of tens of millions, and the area around Beijing is even more deserted. First there was the Burni Rebellion, and then there was the great migration carried out by Emperor Kangxi, which took away hundreds of thousands of people. Now it has become A sparsely populated place. The craftsmen who built Zhu Heji's Zizhu Yuan were invited from Tianjin Prefecture!
However, Tianjin also lacked manpower - the Japanese expedition that Zhu Heji was planning would send troops from Tianjin. Therefore, the ports, canals, warehouses, and barracks in that area are all being overhauled, and a large amount of grain, grass, and livestock are being sent to Tianjin from Zhili and Shandong along the canals.
Tianjin's Dagukou commercial port and seaport have also fully resumed operations. Many ships come in and out every day, trying to unload all kinds of novel and beautiful objects from the south before the sea near Dagukou freezes over, and at the same time transport away goods from Zhili, Shandong and Large livestock produced in the grasslands north of the Great Wall, as well as some mysterious figures who took their families to "travel to the sea".
In addition, the newly opened Penglai Bank in Dagukou Commercial Port and many small and medium-sized banks that specialize in doing business around Penglai Bank are also booming these days...
In short, Tianjin is in full swing now, and it is true that there is no manpower available to help Zhu Heji repair the house.
Moreover, Zhu Heji will not be able to live in Beijing for long. When next spring, he will cross the ocean to North Korea to prepare to realize his big plan to eliminate Japanese aggression more than two hundred years in advance.
And just when he was about to enjoy the peace and tranquility before a new war, the "retired" King Zhu Tian and Zhuge Sanhe, who stayed behind in Beijing, braved the howling wind and snow to come to Zizhuyuan together. .
Moreover, these two men also brought Zhu Heji a lama and news that surprised him.
"Abba, Prime Minister, this master is..."
In a hall with a stove in Zizhuyuan, Zhu Heji, who was dressed in a cotton robe and a cloth scarf, first saluted King Zhu Tian who came through the snow, then greeted Zhuge Sanhe, and then smiled. Asked about the lama who came with him.
This lama is young, only in his twenties. He is quite fat and looks like a wealthy and eminent monk. His face is quite kind, which gives him a very reliable feeling.
He didn't know at first that this sturdy man in a cotton robe was actually Zhu Heji, and he couldn't understand the conversation between Zhu Heji, Zhu Tianwang, and Zhuge Sanhe - although the lama spoke Chinese very well. I am fluent, but I can’t understand Teochew dialect!
However, the lama still sensed his identity from Zhu Heji's demeanor and tone when he talked with Zhu Tianwang and Zhuge Sanhe. So without waiting for King Zhu Tian to introduce him, he knelt down in front of Zhu Heji, and then made a big bow to the ground, and murmured: "The envoy of Junggar Danjin Boshu Ketu Khan, Erdeni Iraguk, kowtows to unite." Long live, long live, long live the Ming Emperor, the Lord of the Universe..."
It's "the Lord who unifies the universe" again... As soon as Zhu Heji heard this, he knew that this was a Mongolian lama. Mongolians these days like to use such exaggerated words to praise the king, such as "unifying the universe", "incomparable greatness", "reincarnation of the Jade Emperor of the universe" and so on. Basically, it’s the style of the Xingxiu faction in Golden Hero.
"Are you an envoy of Junggar?" In addition to hearing "unify the universe" and so on, Zhu Heji also heard "Junggar Khan". He guessed that the Khan should be Galdan.
Before the Ilaguk Lama could reply, King Zhu Tian spoke first, "Azai, this lama was sent by Ge Erdan, the Khan of the Junggar Khanate. That Ge Erdan wants to be the eagle dog of our Ming Dynasty!"
What? Ge Erdan wants to be a dog for Ming Dynasty? Are you deceiving people?
Of course Zhu Heji knew who Ge Erdan was!
Historically, Emperor Kangxi wanted to treat him as a dog, but this guy was bullied by Kangxi and refused to surrender even at the end of his rope. He was stubborn and stubborn.
Why are you so eager to be a dog for Ming Dynasty now? Could it be that I heard that the Ming Dynasty was rich and wanted to trick a few people into spending money?
Isn't this Ge Erdan's style?
Zhuge Sanhe saw that Zhu Heji seemed a little doubtful, so he waved his goose-feather fan and said to Zhu Heji: "Your Majesty, Ge Erdan, the Khan King of Junggar, was bullied by the Rakshasa people and could not stay in the north of the Tianshan Mountains. He was able to gain a foothold, so he was transferred to the Tumote River by Kangxi."
Bullied by Rakshasa people?
Zhu Heji still didn't believe it. The Rakshasa people weren't that powerful, were they? Now the person in power in the Rakshasa Kingdom is not Peter the Great, but his brother Feodor. The Rakshasa Kingdom's military force is not strong at all. That Yaksa city, Anzhuhu led hundreds of Sauron soldiers to defeat it in two days... He only suffered less than ten casualties.
You still want to bully Ge Erdan with this kind of force?
If Ge Erdan was so good, could he have caused so much trouble to Kang Mazi in history?
Moreover, after Ge Erdan, Qingzhun fought for decades!
Ge Erdan's family is still very powerful!
Zhuge Sanhe shook his goose feather fan and said: "This lama also said that Kang Mazi gave Datong and Xuanhua to Ge Erdan. But Ge Erdan knew that I was so powerful that he did not dare to occupy Datong and Xuanhua. , is willing to dedicate the land of the second mansion to the Ming Dynasty, and only asks the Ming Dynasty to grant him the title of Shunyi King, and then give him a market reward according to the conditions given to Anda Khan in the early years."
"Exchange the Datong and Xuanhua Prefectures for the King of Shunyi and the city reward?" Zhu Heji thought for a moment, "How much did the temple give me to An Dahan back then?"
Zhuge Sanhe shook his head, "I don't know."
King Zhu Tian also shook his head, "I don't know either."
Well, I don’t know if I ask two questions.
"One million..." Ilaguk, who was lying on the ground, had no choice but to answer for them.
"So much?" Zhu Heji was not happy when he heard this. He waved his hand and said, "You lama, go back, I won't give it to you! Let Ge Erdan have the ability to grab it yourself!"
Grab it yourself? Ilaguk became anxious when he heard this - he and Galdan had a good discussion. They handed over Datong and Xuanhua, replaced them with King Shunyi, and exchanged some market rewards, so that Galdan's troops could be in Tumut. Chuan regained his footing. At the same time, he can get the honor of crusading against Burni, but the Ming emperor does not act according to common sense. What should we do?
While he was thinking about it, Zhu Hejie spoke again, "I will give him at most one hundred thousand a year, and he will send troops to help me fight the Japanese!"
