Brothers Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Jixi and Zhu Gaochi are not the only ones who are about to leave the capital.
The dinner went as scheduled.
King Zhu Di of Yan, King Zhu Gui of Dai, King Zhu Zhi of Liao, and King Min Zhu Geng were sitting in the Provincial Gong Hall, chatting happily and happily.
"The Emperor has arrived."
shouted the chamberlain.
The four vassal kings stood up one after another, lined up, and saluted Zhu Yunwen when he entered the palace.
Zhu Yunwen waved a few people to get up and asked: "The uncles are so lively. I heard noises in the distance. What are they talking about?"
Zhu Gui looked sideways at Zhu Di and said first: "Your Majesty, the fourth brother is fighting against the Japanese in the southeast. If the command is determined, the enemy can be defeated thousands of miles away. We are asking the fourth brother if the Japanese pirates have been killed, so that we can prepare to go to sea early and make some money in Nanyang. .”
From Zhu Gui's words, he has regarded making money as fun. He no longer despises businessmen, but admits that he is a part of the businessmen.
Zhu Di looked ashamed and said quickly: "Thirteenth brother is joking. I didn't do much in the fight against the Japanese in the southeast. It was mainly due to the Navy and Song Sheng."
This is a fact.
In particular, the Ming navy led by Zheng He, Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu went deep into the sea and pursued them to the end, killing the Japanese pirates until they complained endlessly and suffered heavy losses.
In the southeast, Song Sheng and Zhu Di were more focused on protecting the coastline. Although they achieved good results, after all, they were only defeated soldiers, either hundreds or dozens, and rarely reached four figures.
Zhu Yunwen motioned for a few people to sit down, and he also sat down, and said to Zhu Di: "Uncle King Yan used chaos to disrupt the situation, and the people gave warning with beacon fire. The small team galloped, and used the method of solidifying the formation to wait for reinforcements. They annihilated the Japanese pirates who landed several times, and even more After fighting hard several times, it can be said that hard work is a great reward.”
"I dare not accept it."
Zhu Di stood up and said.
Zhu Yunwen pressed his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Yan Wang has come into contact with Japanese pirates. Do you think the militia guard method proposed by Song Sheng is feasible? Although the Japanese pirates have subsided now, I estimate that they will be defeated in less than three to five years. It will come back again, and if you only rely on the guards, there will always be some oversights."
Zhu Di thought for a while and replied seriously: "Song Sheng has discussed this matter with me. I think it is feasible, but not suitable for general use. After all, the militia guards are not sergeants of the guard station. The Japanese pirates are ferocious. Once they come ashore, it will be difficult to resist with the militia alone. Therefore, , the militia should be mainly responsible for police training and organizing people to retreat and hide, rather than acting as the main force in combat."
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked: "What if we set up a fire gun militia?"
Zhu Di was taken aback and said quickly: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Fireguns are sharp weapons in the military. Once they are spread among the people and abused, they may hurt innocent people."
In fact, Zhu Di did not mention another idea, that is, once local chaos or rebellion occurs, it will be more difficult for the court to suppress it.
But Zhu Yunwen didn't think so. During the Anti-Japanese War, many militiamen held guns.
In the 1980s and 1990s, when petty theft and violent and violent people were rampant, militia teams were organized in the brigade. Who could go out in the middle of the night to guard without a few shotguns?
To deal with evil people, you always need some means of self-protection.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "I'm afraid Uncle Yan is overly worried. The Second Artillery Bureau's guns are currently being replaced. Some old guns cannot be left to rust in the warehouse. It would be a pity to melt them all." A batch of old-fashioned fire blunderbuss will be given to coastal towns and counties. The county magistrate will be personally responsible for the county. The township will have a guarantor. The fire blunderbuss will be trained and a register will be made one by one. The fire blunderbuss will be spent and returned without any serious problems. . Of course, gunpowder is all controlled by the Ministry of Health, and private manufacture is not allowed."
Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that what Zhu Yunwen wanted to build was an old-fashioned musket militia.
Compared with the newly developed fire gun by the Second Artillery Bureau, the old fire gun is too slow, not to mention the distance is not far enough, and the preparation time and reloading time are too long, and the lethality is limited.
As long as the limited gunpowder is controlled and only old-fashioned gunpowder is distributed, there will be no trouble even if there are dozens of gunpowders in a village. Even if they make a fuss, they can only seek death in the face of the imperial court's new firecrackers and new divine machine cannons.
The hidden dangers are controllable. In addition, the invading Japanese pirates are mostly stragglers and are very few in number. They always rely on the guards to rush to rescue them. The losses are indeed not small. If a small-scale fire gun militia is built, not only to repel the Japanese pirates, but at least It can delay one or two things and deter one or two things.
Zhu Di agreed: "If the gunpowder is directly controlled by the guards and the capital, and only old-fashioned fire blunderbuss are distributed, I have no objection."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said: "Since Uncle Yan Wang thinks it is feasible, then twenty fire blunderbuss for the township and fifty fire blunderbuss for the county will be distributed along the coasts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian according to this standard."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Zhu Di said.
Zhu Yunwen ordered the wine and food to be served. After three rounds of wine, Fang said: "I'm inviting some of my uncles to the banquet today. I really want my uncle to help me with a few things."
Zhu Di, Zhu Gui and others looked at each other, and they naturally knew that after all, it was not a holiday today, nor was the emperor's birthday, so it was impossible for him to come to his house for dinner.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Zhu Geng was very straightforward, and his position was to stand with the emperor.
Zhu Di and others had no choice but to stand up and express their stance.
With a worried look on his face, Zhu Yunwen said: "Two days ago, Liu Changge sent a secret report from Daning. Kuntemuer Khan, that is, the Boljijin Kun Timur, issued a summons order on the grassland to prepare for the July The Naadam Conference will be held at the beginning of the month, and this time, the major tribes of Tatar and Oara will participate, and even some people from the Duoyan Guard will participate!"
"What?"
Zhu Di's expression changed, and Zhu Gui, Zhu Geng and others also took a breath of air.
They were once vassal kings who guarded the frontier. They had more or less military common sense and knew the danger hidden behind this news.
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and became angry, saying: "If Duoyanwei also sends people to participate in the Naadam Conference, it will be a provocation to the Ming Dynasty! I think it is time to remove Duoyanwei and Fuyuwei!"
The Naadam Conference began in the early days of the Mongol Khanate and was established by Genghis Khan.
Initially, Genghis Khan just wanted to review his troops through the Naadam Conference, and at the same time meet with each tribe to allocate pasture.
Grassland is equivalent to the land of the Han people, and it is related to the rise and fall of the ethnic group.
Only by resolving pasture disputes can the Mongolian tribes reduce internal fighting and truly unite their strength.
Genghis Khan was very successful, and the Mongolian tribes reached their peak under his rule. Later, in order to maintain relations with various tribes, enhance the cohesion of the Mongolian Khanate, express unity, and pray for a good harvest, Genghis Khan held the "Dakul Getai", a large gathering, in June and July every year, which later became the Naadam Conference,
Zhu Yunwen knew very well that the Naadam Conference was not a party, nor was it a barbecue party where people could eat, drink, make two friends, and then go back in the middle of the night.
In fact, the Naadam Conference can be said to be a platform for the various tribes in Mongolia to display their power and a arena for the younger generation to compete!
At the Naadam Convention, there was only one competition at first, either archery or bow shooting at a large eagle to see who could penetrate three people at once, horse racing to see who could run faster, or wrestling.
Choose one of three, lively.
But after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the multiple-choice questions of choosing one out of three no longer existed. Instead, they became mandatory questions, namely archery, horse racing, and wrestling.
Later, the Yuan Dynasty even stipulated institutionally that Mongolian men must possess the three basic skills of wrestling, horseback riding, and archery.
This is a regulation to ensure the strength of the Mongolian people. However, in less than a hundred years, these people have lost all their skills in enjoyment. Many Mongolians cannot even ride a horse or draw a bow.
Facts have proved that regulations are regulations, and whether they can be implemented or not is not certain.
But the problem is, these people no longer enjoy themselves, and have picked up the old three again, preparing to make a comeback...
This is a very serious signal.
By opening Naadam, wouldn't it be clear to everyone that the Mongolian tribes should pay close attention to training. All the young men must be proficient in bow and horse, and have strong bodies. One person can defeat five or ten southerners.
A general meeting was held in Oara, and Tatars participated. It was actually nothing. Strictly speaking, it was an internal matter within the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
However, Duoyanwei is not an internal matter within Beiyuan!
According to the surrender contract, Duoyanwei was a subsidiary of the Ming Dynasty. He took the money from the Ming Dynasty and worked for the Ming Dynasty.
This guy turned around and hooked up with Oara and Tatar. He wanted Ming's money and his life.
Duoyanwei's participation in Naadam is definitely not to participate in three events. To win a medal or something, there must be an ulterior secret. No matter what the content of the secret is, it is definitely not conducive to the Ming Dynasty.
That's why Zhu Di was angry.
Zhu Geng stood up and shouted solemnly: "Your Majesty, since Duoyanwei has second thoughts, he should be eliminated as soon as possible! If he is allowed to collude with Beiyuan, he will definitely threaten our northeastern territory."
As the king of Liao, Zhu Geng knew the importance of Daning and the strategic positions of Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guards.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di and said: "Although Duoyanwei has not yet openly rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, there are signs of it, and the capital of Da Ning cannot do nothing. I hope that King Yan can return to Benping, sit in the rear, and work with Ping An to train the Peking sergeants. , if there is a change in Daning, the troops will come out of Xifengkou."
Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he looked deeply at Zhu Yunwen, wondering what he was thinking.
After accepting his Duoyan Sanwei and now allowing him to return to Peking, isn't he worried that he has different intentions?
Looking at Zhu Yunzhen's confident and determined eyes, Zhu Di nodded heavily and said: "I accept the order."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di deeply and said, "Uncle Yan, it's hard work."
Zhu Di shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "The gold and iron horses are music to my ears."
Zhu Yunwen knew Zhu Di well. He was born in war and died on the road, but that is history.
Today's Ming Dynasty cannot do without Zhu Di. He will be the Ming Dynasty's sharpest sword, strongest shield, and most powerful cannon!
The premise is that you, Zhu Di, don't make another wrong step!
"What about us?"
Zhu Geng stood up and asked. It was obvious that he, Zhu Di, could not do all the work of four people.
