Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly hurriedly and finally returned to the capital in time for the Lantern Festival.
After returning to Beijing, he asked Zhu Yu to issue an order to build roads and bridges directly to Ningbo Prefecture.
Of course, this is also an excuse.
Zhu Yu frowned, "Father, it is 800 miles from Yingtian to Ningbo Prefecture (576 meters in Ming Dynasty). It will take two or three years to build bridges and pave roads along the way!"
Even if you don't want Lao Liu to stay in the capital, you can't send him to do chores!
If you do this, you might as well let him become a feudal lord. "
"It's not just about building bridges and roads!" Seeing Zhu Yu's distressed look, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had misunderstood, so he told Zhu Jun about suppressing bandits, "Not many people know about this matter. It would be very dangerous if we carelessly let Lao Liu go suppress the bandits, so we will..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yu stopped and said, "Father, how could you let Lao Liu go over there to suppress the pirates?
Those pirates are not ordinary gangsters, they are no worse than regular navy.
No, they are just sailors pretending to be pirates, and they are all extremely vicious.
Lao Liu has never killed an enemy before, aren't you putting him in danger? "
"Don't get excited, can we still harm him?" Zhu Yuanzhang said speechlessly: "That's why we sent Liao Wu'an to him."
"Liao Wu'an can't do it either, unless the imperial navy is dispatched!" Zhu Yu said anxiously: "If you let him recruit his own people, train his own navy, and form an army of guards, it will take a few months to form a combat effectiveness. Did it work?
By then, they were training at the beach. Those gangsters were not fools. How could they not understand the court's actions?
I don’t agree, no matter what! "
"Are you me, or are we me?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, "You can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him for a lifetime!"
"If I don't die, I will protect him. If I die, my son can also protect him!" Zhu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Father, Lao Liu has proven that he has the means to govern the people, so choose a piece for him. Isn't it good to be a feudal lord in peace?
In short, I disagree! "
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. His son was usually wise and wise, but when it came to Zhu Jun, he was unreasonable.
"That's his own choice!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How do you know he is not good? I think he is very good. It's not like you don't know that his Suzaku Army practiced with Tang Ding and won two out of three battles!"
"That's what Uncle Tang asked him to do!"
"What a concession!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Dozens of people died in the exercise, can this be a concession? Tang Ding won't lie to us. I have seen the Suzaku Army with my own eyes. Every one of them was allowed to be civilized and military. If it were More than ten years ago, everyone was qualified to be an officer.
We are not exaggerating. The soldiers of the Suzaku Army are really good. Although they have not killed the enemy, they already have the momentum of elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles.
If you temper yourself, you will definitely become a strong army in the future!
If you keep a tiger in a cage, how will it roar in the forest?
Stop treating your brother like a sheep.
He is a tiger, a tiger that roars in the mountains and forests.
If you are really good for him, let him grow up.
You can indeed protect him for the rest of his life, but if one day he can come over and protect you, that would be really good! "
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Besides, we have confidence in him, so you should also have confidence in him!"
Zhu Yu clenched his fists and wanted to refute, but couldn't.
Because my father is right.
The young bird always has to break free from the wings of the older bird before it can spread its wings.
For more than a year, Zhu Jun has flown to Fengyang. Did he fall down?
In fact, he developed better than he imagined.
"Then we need to give him more ships. There are many new ships at Yangzhou Shipyard, all of which will be given to Lao Liu. The court will also allocate some money to him, just 150,000 taels.
If Liao Wu'an is not enough, let the second son of the Xu family go, and the second son of the Chang family also go there! "
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "Okay, okay, we allow you, you have the final say, you'd better empty out our treasury!"
Give all our civil and military ministers to him! "
Zhu Yu touched his chin, "You gave me a heads up. Uncle Tang can't leave Fengyang, but Uncle Xu should be able to..."
"Tiande can't pass by!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Why do so many people go there? Aren't you afraid of disturbing others?"
Zhu Yu thought for a while and nodded, "Then cross it out for now. Lao Liu is suppressing bandits to help the court, not him, so we need to give him more support."
"You, you...you are simply a devil to support your younger brother!" Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely heartbroken.
"My son is happy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yu and pointed at him, "Okay, now that your wings are stiff, we can't control you anymore!"
With that said, he tossed his sleeves and walked away angrily.
But when he walked out of Fengtian Hall, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Zhu Jun will definitely be Zhu Yu's best protector in the future.
...
At this time, Liao Wuan also arrived in Fengyang.
The Liao family has kept a low profile now, so his trip out of Beijing did not attract anyone's attention.
To the outside world, he just said thank you behind closed doors. If asked, he would say that he went to Fengyang to worship his ancestors.
"I see that King Wu has given birth!" Liao Wu'an gave Zhu Jun a big gift.
"Mr.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liao Wu'an also sighed with emotion. He did not go the wrong way. His Majesty still trusted him when he asked him to come and serve as a martial arts master for King Wu.
This is also an opportunity for the Liao family.
"Master Wu, let's not talk about it when we meet Waihua. Prince Wu's Mansion has recruited thousands of people in the past few days. Because the boat provided by the court has not arrived yet, we can only use small river boats to train first.
In the next few months, I will trouble you to train troops in Huaihe. " Zhu Jun said.
"This is all my responsibility!" Liao Wuan entered the role very quickly. Zhu Jun will be a vassal in the future. He will follow Zhu Jun to the vassal country, so he will not be able to return to the capital for a long time in the future. .
Zhu Jun was very satisfied with Liao Wuan's attitude. He originally wanted to go to the beach to train his troops, but after thinking about it carefully, if he rashly went to the beach, he would definitely alert the enemy.
The navy has not formed a combat effectiveness, and it is still easy to overturn.
Moreover, the warships still need to be modified, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress the pirates.
So soon, he discussed with Lao Zhu, using the excuse of building roads and bridges, to gradually open the road from Yingtian Prefecture to Ningbo Prefecture.
There will be several municipalities directly under the central government in that area in the future, which can be considered as preparation in advance.
Secondly, try to direct the flow of people to Fengyang and Yingtian as much as possible.
If you want to completely eliminate the threat, you need time to prepare and deal a harsh blow to these people.
"Come on, you go back to your home to rest first, and when you go to the palace in the evening, I'll take care of you!" Zhu Jun said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After Liao Wuan left the palace, Liao Sheng followed and asked, "Dad, will our family be completely tied to Prince Wu's Mansion in the future?"
