The Li Dynasty boldly rebelled. After Li Mubai returned home quickly, he never thought that the Annan Li family would openly proclaim the emperor and call the Ming Dynasty the Southern Dynasty. This simply did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously.
After the edict was issued, all the surrounding countries were confused. Is the Li family determined to go against the Ming Dynasty? What confidence do they have to do this?
You know, the Ming Dynasty had just destroyed the arrogant Tatars, and also easily eliminated the three guards of Duoyan. Now the entire northern grassland countries are trembling under the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.
Those cannons, the flying airships in the sky, and the fire thunders that can explode when thrown, just thinking about it makes people tremble with fear. Is Mr. Li so brave that he dares to commit suicide?
None of the neighboring countries that received the note were optimistic about Li. The ants and the giant elephants provoked each other, and the end was foreseeable, that is, they would be trampled into powder.
The Ming Dynasty's edict was also issued to all countries in the world. It is still the same sentence. Anyone who dares to challenge the majesty of the Ming Dynasty will become a fan. Anyone who offends the majesty of the Ming Dynasty will have their descendants exterminated, their ancestral temples and communities burned, and their country and species destroyed.
You see, in the past, when the Ming Dynasty's edicts were issued to other countries, they would not have such harsh words. At most, they would only be a few words of reproach.
Since the new emperor came to the throne, everything has changed. The Ming Dynasty seems to have returned to the era of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, who sent millions of troops to conquer the world a hundred years ago if they disagreed with each other.
It was an era that made all countries tremble. They conquered Annan, cut down the grasslands, suppressed the southwest, oppressed the whole world, and sealed the wolf as a slave. Many countries were wiped out under the invincible cavalry of the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
All nations came to the DPRK, and tribute from all directions was given, truly intimidating the world.
But after him, the Ming Dynasty has not had the ability to intimidate other countries for hundreds of years. It gradually weakened, the grasslands rose, and the countries were ready to move and repeatedly invaded the borders. Although the Ming Dynasty was tough, it was powerless. It only issued symbolic warnings, which was not painful. itch. It was a joke for other countries.
Until now, after the new emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, everything has changed. He has shown his strong skills, which are exactly the same as those of his ancestors, and even a little stronger. No matter his skills or courage, he can't help but come from the bottom of his heart. I sighed in my heart, brilliant.
Destroy the rebellious King Shuning, destroy the Tatars in the grasslands, destroy the troubled chieftains of Guizhou, destroy the three guards of Duoyan, forcefully cut off the feudal vassal of King Anhua, forcefully collect business taxes, and win the hearts and minds of the people and the army. These are all things you can imagine. What did a young emperor who was no more than seventeen years old do? Even if Emperor Chengzu is reborn, it will still be inferior.
In the hands of such a Ming emperor, if you want to rebel, you will undoubtedly seek death. Therefore, no one is optimistic about the Li family, and their destruction is almost visible.
What they have to do now is to follow the decree of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible and send the princes, princes and grandsons of their respective countries to come to the Ming Dynasty as hostages. No, it is to study. The imperial decree says to study.
Wang Shouren's army has passed Liangshan and officially entered Annan.
"Commander Wang, you, you are here. Since my army has entered Guangxi, there are many people who feel unwell. If things go on like this, it may be detrimental to our army. We need to find ways to alleviate the situation. Many people in the army have symptoms today." Zhu Jianze was weak. He is dying, his eyes are full of unwillingness, and the oil is about to run out.
It was a bad start. The vanguard general died before he left the army.
Since he became a pioneer, he thought that his army could adapt to the geographical environment of Annan after many years of galloping in the north to kill enemies. However, who would have thought that as soon as he entered Guangxi, the whole army would vomit and have diarrhea. He felt that the situation was serious, and he was old. , I don’t want your Majesty to trust someone who is not trustworthy.
I feel so ashamed that I just can’t live with my eyes in peace.
In the original history, he was supposed to die last year. Who would have thought that because of Zhu Houzhao's arrival, he was not dead but still alive.
The Mu family is slightly better. The climate in Yunnan is similar to Annan, but only slightly better.
Wang Shouren's army was even more unbearable. After all, most of them were frontier troops. Who knew what the climate and forests in the southwest were like. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao sent a secret edict from the palace.
Tell him how to march, how to set up camp after entering Annan, and how to prevent soldiers from getting sick. These are all included in the secret decree.
"My lord, please live a good life and cultivate yourself. I have already informed your majesty, so you don't have to worry, lord." Wang Shouren felt sad.
Mr. Mu stood aside, looking at this old friend with sadness in his heart.
Zhu Jianze seemed to have come back to his senses. He grabbed Wang Shouren's hand fiercely and said with all his strength: "Old minister, I owe you to the emperor. Mr. Wang, rebel..., rebel against the Li family, insult..., Dam... Daming, I am the king. I am dead." , He Yan..., He Yan, face, meet the late emperor, die, die with eyes closed..." After saying this, Zhu Jianze's hands softened and he closed his eyes completely.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, come, come."
When the military doctor came to check, he immediately shook his head and realized that Zhu Jianze was dead, so he had to tell the truth.
"Mr. Mu, Commander-in-Chief, the prince has passed away." The military doctor said sadly.
boom.
"Father," Zhu Youxi cried out in mourning.
Bang, except Wang Shouren and Mr. Mu, everyone inside and outside the military tent knelt down.
Zhu Jianze, His Royal Highness Prince Chong has passed away.
After eight hundred miles of expediting, they were rushed to the capital. The imperial court's vanguard general, Chong Wang Zhu Jianze, died on the way to conquer Annan. This was not good news, and it might even cause other countries to continue to wait and see.
Zhu Houzhao and Yang Shen were soaking in the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, pointing at a freshly baked transparent glass product.
"How can this glass be so transparent and without any color? It's really miraculous. Your Majesty, how did you do it?" Yang Shen was amazed.
Glass has been recorded in the dynasties of the Central Plains for a long time. It first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but the colors have always been mixed, with many colors. Such crystal clear colored glaze, even Yang Shen could not help but exclaim that it is magical.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and explained proudly: "This is not colored glaze, but glass. Only some materials are added inside, and the glass is fired to make it so translucent."
Yang Shen heard this and said, "Glass? Your Majesty is really creative and versatile. Yang Shen admires it."
If these words were said by other ministers, they would be suspected of being disrespectful, and I am afraid that Liu Jin would have been unable to resist shouting.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the glass blown out by the wind. From his perspective, these things were still a little bit less interesting.
"Don't flatter me. There are still some flaws. It seems that the ratio is wrong." Zhu Houzhao picked up the transparent glass balls one by one and shook his head.
Yang Shen was stunned and speechless. Such a good thing is said to have flaws, so what kind of better glass do you think it should be?
However, Zhu Houzhao was quite satisfied. After all, his era was different from the current dynasty. The glass ball was prepared for changing the lights in the palace.
According to Zhu Houzhao's tips, the craftsmen are already studying how to make a larger generator. It is obviously not possible to rely solely on human power generation equipment. One or two electric lamps are okay.
The emperor has said that in the future, this electric light will be popularized throughout the Ming Dynasty, even on the main roads, so let them find a solution on how to make the electricity run on its own.
This problem is not a problem for Zhu Houzhao, but he cannot always do everything by himself. The experimental equipment of the small power generation unit has opened up the thinking of these craftsmen.
Now all they need to do is continue to develop their sense of innovation. The emperor will provide unconditional support for whatever materials are needed, no matter how much they are consumed, it will not be a pity.
The light source of the glazed lamp was still a little hazy, but the glass bulb was different. Zhu Houzhao was going to use it first in the palace. Regardless of whether his technology was mature or not, he would use it first.
As a result, a new round of renovations began in the palace, and the glazed lamps in the Jinshen Palace were replaced and placed in the Royal Manufacturing Bureau for viewing in the future.
After all, it was the first electric light of the Ming Dynasty. It represented the advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty. Hundreds of years later, when people read this period of history and see this thing, they will definitely sigh at the advancement of the Ming Dynasty.
The new things in the Jinshen Palace shone so magically that every minister who came to discuss the affairs was dumbfounded, jaw-dropping and sincerely amazed. It was so miraculous that it was simply astonishing.
Gradually, the news about the unique treasure discovered by the Royal Manufacturing Bureau once again spread among the officials, and there was a lot of discussion. It was said that the palace planned to use this object to replace the palace lantern.
No, not long after the news spread, there was indeed movement in the palace. This was the biggest renovation in the palace since the late emperor. The emperor ordered that the court be suspended for half a month.
Well, this is not unusual, and it is not a big deal. What attracts the most attention is Wang Hua's entry into the cabinet. I originally thought that the Nanjing Minister was an ordinary person, but who would have thought that he would become a rising star and join the cabinet.
People expected Yang Tinghe to join the cabinet, but Wang Hua and the others never expected it, especially Liu Daxia. He thought he would have a chance this time. He had no extravagant expectations as the first assistant, but shouldn't he be the one to join the cabinet?
The emperor's thoughts are really unpredictable.
But now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, Liu Daxia can only do his best. This is a smart person. He is resentful because he did not join the cabinet. This is really stupid.
Three days later, Babaili rushed to Beijing. When Ma Wensheng received the urgent report, he suddenly felt dizzy.
"The army entered Liangshan and was not acclimated to the climate. The vanguard, His Highness King Chong, died."
boom.
Ma Wensheng's hands shook and the report fell to the ground.
"My lord, my lord." Someone called Ma Wensheng, wondering what happened?
Ma Wensheng woke up with a start, picked up the report from the ground, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, prepare your horses, prepare your horses, enter the palace, go quickly."
Something big must have happened, otherwise why would Mabu Tang be in such a hurry.
On the street, there are several groups of messengers heading towards Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the Zongren Mansion respectively. There are also messengers from the Zhongguan. Your Majesty must know that this is a regulation. This person who is dying is not an ordinary person. .
Zhu Houzhao has been in the palace and has not left the palace in the past few days. When Fan Ting brought the two eunuchs from outside the vassal into the palace to see Zhu Houzhao, they were already well-behaved and their eyes were full of fear. He did not expect that they would encounter such a terrible thing. matter.
Don't ever think of escaping from this terrible place.
I wanted to cry but had no tears. I originally wanted to pursue Daming's idea, but who would have thought that from the moment they saw Zhu Houzhao, they would never have a chance again.
Zhu Houzhao was originally very interested, but he lost interest when he saw them. What if the two ghost guys stayed with him and assassinated him.
His worry was not without reason. People's hearts are unpredictable, so he sent him to wash the latrine from afar.
At this time, Liu Jin entered the palace in a panic. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, he shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, Chong Wang, he, Your Highness, he is dead."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, a strange-looking thing in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Hearing this, he said in disbelief: "What did you say? You said that King Chong died."
Liu Jin knelt on the ground, nodded, held up the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, King Chong has passed away. The Eight Hundred Miles Memorial and the Zhongguan's memorial have just been delivered to the slaves. Please take a look at it."
