Previously, Zhu Jianshen's most profound impression of Shi Biao was a dream he had when he was young.
At that time, Zhu Jianshen's biggest nightmare was the trio who kicked down his door. Shortly after Emperor Zhu Qizhen returned from Mongolia, he had a dream.
In the dream, I went to court. There was no one in the Fengtian Palace, and there was a river of blood outside the Fengtian Palace.
Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang, and Shi Heng got together and carried Zhu Qizhen, the father he was most afraid of at the time, in front of him.
At that time, only Zhang Bao was accompanying Zhu Jianshen, and the emperor relied most on Yu Qian, whose head was being carried by Shi Biao...
Now that I think about it, ten years have passed.
Shi Heng is dead.
Cao Jixiang became the future great navigator of the Ming Dynasty and even the entire nation.
And Xu Youzhen also became the most favored minister of the Ming Dynasty, holding a high and powerful position.
Even Zhu Jianshen's biggest fear at the time, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, began to keep warm wolfberry soaked in it, focusing on health care and no longer having any other desire for power.
At this time, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen has been established, and the country's foundation has been established. Even if he is really unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes, his father has no hope.
What I was afraid of back then has become a joke now.
Times have changed...
Zhu Jianshen looked at Shi Biao with a smile on his face and said softly: "Liao Pinghou, you have been out for several years fighting for the country. You have worked hard. This time Annan was pacified, you deserve the most credit..."
"Your Majesty, all the soldiers fought hard with their lives. I dare not covet such great achievements." Shi Biao said quickly.
Shi Biao originally did not want to return to the capital. His idea was to stay in Qinghua, Annan, after the war. However, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor decided to move the Duke of Guizhou to the south and station in Qinghua, and let him return to the capital. Come.
In fact, Shi Biao also knew about the concerns that His Majesty the Emperor had about him, but it was hard to go against God's will, let alone the Holy Will. He had no choice but to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Jianshen looked at Shi Biao, paused for a moment, and continued: "I know what you are thinking in your heart, and I also know that staying in Annan and never returning to the capital is a good choice for you, but Shi Biao Ah, you are not yet forty now, it is a good time to make contributions and establish a career. The lintel of your Shi family needs your support. You have to do what your uncle can't do, and you have to do what he can't get. get……"
"Although you can make great achievements if you stay in Annan, your Shi family's achievements are not in the south, but in the northwest, the north, and Liaodong. Your enemies should not be those weak people without any fighting ability, but the grasslands. Mongolians, so I still want you to come back to the capital, an important city on the nine sides of Liaodong. After much thought, I found that only Datong is the most suitable for you. However, you have been away fighting for several years, and this time you finally come back. First, stay in the capital. Have a good reunion with your family and serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. After the New Year, you will set off to Datong to report on your duties."
The reason why Zhu Jianshen chose to let Shi Biao go to Datong was because deep down in his heart he still hoped that he could make achievements in the northwest, and he still thought that he could build Hamiwei into an unbreakable fortress and become the Ming Dynasty's fight against Mongolia in the northwest, and then move westward.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Shi Biao responded quickly.
After Shi Biao finished speaking, Zhu Jianshen said softly: "Although several years have passed, I feel heartbroken every time I think of the uncles and nephews of the Shi family who fought for me on the battlefield to pacify the Jurchens and traveled across Liaodong. What Shi Heng committed back then It is tantamount to treason, but I still remember the military exploits and do not want to let it drag down my family, let alone you. You should know my painstaking efforts.",
After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Jianshen, as the emperor, also played a role in the death of Shi Heng, but the main reason was Shi Heng himself. Even if Zhu Jianshen had not promoted Chen Ying to Ning Guogong, even if Zhu Jianshen and Shi Heng occupied Jiaozhou City and controlled Annan, After returning to the north, giving him the title of Duke An Guo would not change his current ending.
The weakness of human nature is such that it cannot be changed...
At this time, Zhu Jianshen sighed heavily, which was not to win Shi Biao's heart, he really felt it. biquge.biz
After listening to His Majesty the Emperor's words, Shi Biao hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I know clearly that my uncle is a criminal. What he did back then was tantamount to bringing troops to coerce Your Majesty. Your Majesty is kind and kind. Shi Biao allowed his aunt and two brothers to stay in the capital without placing any blame on them. Shi Biao only felt grateful and did not dare to have any thoughts in his heart."
"Get up and tell me about the war in Annan. I want to listen carefully to the customs and customs of Annan..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." With that, Shi Biao stood up and began to tell His Majesty the Emperor about the wars he had experienced in Annan over the years, as well as the many details of Annan's internal structure.
In fact, Shi Biao's final battle against the rebellion in Annan was considered a major battle. The rebels were massive, with 20,000 troops and 100,000 civilian followers.
In the past, it was all small-scale counter-insurgency and massacres. The Ming army was all a squad of a hundred people, going to conquer the local powerful who were unwilling to obey the government's orders.
A few days before Shi Biao returned to the Ming Dynasty, Annan's local administrative provisional government made population statistics. From the 2.4 million people before the war broke out, it has become less than 1.5 million today, which is enough. A total of 900,000 less, which is greater than the losses after the all-out war in Korea.
Of these 900,000 people, nearly 300,000 died from famine and plague, 200,000 died from massacres, and 300,000 died from resistance. The remaining 100,000 people either hid in the mountains or forests, or Choosing to flee out of Annan...
At this time, Annan was also defeated, and it was impossible to provide any benefits to the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time. Shi Biao also said that in the entire Annan, there were only four cities that could meet the conditions for the Ming Dynasty's prince to become a vassal.
Hearing this, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but feel a little depressed deep in his heart.
I still have six or seven younger brothers, and I have no arrangements for my eight sons. After fighting for so many years, I have only now secured the vassal territory for the four princes.
Although his old father Zhu Qizhen can no longer have children, he is still young. Before the age of forty, he will definitely be able to unlock the highest achievement of childbirth in the Ming Dynasty, surpassing the 42 children of Emperor Taizu Gao.
According to the 50-50 ratio, there will be more than a dozen princes, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's layoff and re-employment issue for thirty princes in the future.
I used to feel that I was walking a little fast, but now it seems that I am walking a little slower.
It seems now that North Korea is much better than Annan. In the initial inspection, North Korea was able to meet the requirements of eight princes. After Wang Yue took charge of North Korea, it became much more stable in the past few years. The original eight The number of vassal territories increased to twelve.
And Annan is all from the mountains and forests. Even if it is stable for decades, his number of feudal vassals cannot be doubled.
This time when Shi Biao came back, Zhu Jianshen also treated him with high standards. He first summoned him when he returned to the capital, and then gave him a banquet at Huagai Hall.
All the military attaches above the fifth rank in Beijing participated, and Ning Guogong Chen Ying presided over the meeting...
