Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1025 Visiting Relatives

In addition to the Saurons, the Jurchens and Mongols in Jilin were all reorganized, and about [-] people came to Jilin in advance for assembly and training.

After all, fighting is not a child's play. You must be familiar with the formation and the flag in advance, so as to integrate into the army.

It seems to be influenced by the Bala Ya soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. You Shilu specially selected [-] people from this group, and built them according to the model of heavy armored cavalry.

Due to the small number of people, he reported to the emperor while conducting experiments.

And in Heilongjiang, which is adjacent to it, the mountains are already covered with heavy snow, and the entire General's Mansion in Heilongjiang has completely become a country of snow.

But no matter how low the temperature was, General Bai Wang of Heilongjiang was still wrapped in a mink coat, standing tremblingly at the pier, as if welcoming distinguished guests.

He raised his head, lowered it again, and stamped his feet in a panic.

After a while, he saw a black shadow in the distance. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over quickly:
"I'm so worried, why are you here in the winter?"

This team reached nearly 5000 people. Everyone was riding a horse, carrying snowflakes on their backs. They seemed to be overwhelmed, and their faces were flushed from the cold.

The leader was curled up in the fur, revealing a pair of bright eyes. After seeing Bai Wang, he smiled and said:
"It was only October yesterday, and the snow was not heavy. Although the road is a bit rough, people can still walk."

Zhu Cunqu's words made Bai Wang roll his eyes.

From Beiji City, they traveled thousands of miles on land to Heilongjiang City. Not to mention the difficulty along the way, there are a large number of wolves, tigers and leopards, and tribal homeless people. I don't know how dangerous it is.

This master doesn't know the seriousness at all, and he is not afraid when he brings a few thousand people, which is simply too nonsense.

But does he dare to teach a lesson?

"Master, you can't do this in the future." Bai Wang said earnestly: "There are countless wild Jurchen tribes along the way, and they don't accept Wang Hua, so how can they know the reason."

"In their eyes, you are just a prey. If there is any mistake in this..."

Thinking of this, his face was covered with cold sweat.

Zhu Cunqu was calm, listening to his troubles along the way, and then rode into Heilongjiang City.

"How about soldiers and horses?"

Zhu Cunqu turned passive into active: "It is not negligence to ask us to send troops to gather earlier."

"Master, with 5000 people like you joining, Heilongjiang City will be able to produce another 3000 people, totaling [-] people."

Bai Wang said softly: "This time the three places in the Northeast, plus the Beijing camp, there may be as many as [-] to [-] troops. Conquering the tribes of Horqin can be said to be within easy reach."

Zhu Cunqu nodded: "General Bai, is it true that the imperial court wants to overthrow Horqin?"

"I don't know the details, but it's roughly the same, maybe it also contains the meaning of knocking mountains and shaking tigers."

The two were silent one after another.

Later, Zhu Cunqu moved into his mansion in Heilongjiang.

Leading the army to the south this time, he certainly wanted to show that he wanted to prove his ability to recruit troops to the court, but secondly, he also wanted to recruit immigrants faster.Build Arctic City.

After going to Arctic City for more than half a year, the construction of the city was completed, and the tribes with a radius of thousands of miles in Arctic City were conquered, thus expanding the trade circle and enhancing the development of Arctic City.

But the lack of population is getting worse.

Although Heilongjiang is also short of people, compared to Arctic City, it is already considered to be abundant in population.

Of course, in addition to this, he would also use the wharf and port of Heilongjiang City to dedicate the river fish brought from Arctic City to the emperor.

This is his filial piety.

The reason why he chose to transport by land instead of by sea was because he considered the importance of the savage Jurchen, so he walked around to learn more about it.

After traveling for half a month, he had already gotten to know the savage women really well.

"If I were to be in charge of Heilongjiang, the former would rely on sea trade for business and taxation, and the second would be to recruit the barbarian Jurchens as soldiers and conquest inland to obtain soldiers and resources."

Zhu Cunqu thought calmly.

In the vast Heilongjiang area, two cities cannot be covered, at least three or five cities are needed.

However, today's Heilongjiang area is rich and peaceful, indulging in maritime trade and lazy to go inland, and will not take the initiative to expand without a whip. This is a common problem of bureaucrats.

In this way, he desperately wants to take charge of Heilongjiang and take charge of it alone.

"I'm sorry, General Bai."

Zhu Cunqu whispered: "You really don't help Heilongjiang very much, and even delay the development of Heilongjiang."

He didn't hesitate in his hand, and started writing directly.

A lot of enthusiasm, all in the letter.

As for the emperor, he didn't dare to hide it, and when he told it in detail, he was quite excited.

"By the way, that fleet went to that wild land, and not long after it came back, it's time to talk to Father."

Exploring the so-called new continent is one of his main tasks in Arctic City.

Now that it has received feedback, it must be the New World. Although it is a bit barren, the further south the fleet goes, the more vitality it can find. It is indeed a livable place.

At least much stronger than Heilongjiang.

And gold mines.

"My son thinks that the company of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be sent to operate, and the court should not go deep, so as not to cause chaos and losses in the court."

Zhu Cunqu expressed his own opinion: "If this place is really rich, you can also set up settlements, and it would be good to divide it into feudal states."

"According to those crew members, it's about the same as Jiangnan. Although it's a bit hot and humid, it's better than the barren land..."

"Presumably the brothers are also happy here..."

Zhu Cunqu heaved a sigh of relief after sending the letter filled with his enthusiasm to the capital.

Working in the local area for a long time, he desperately wants to be independent, and hopes that his father can satisfy himself!

After a good night's sleep, I opened my eyes and saw that the sky outside was slightly bright, Zhu Yixi asked casually, "What time is it?"

"Master, it's already eight o'clock." Liu Afu's voice sounded in front of the couch, he glanced at the chiming clock, walked quickly, and hurriedly asked, "Master, are you thirsty?"

"Hmm." Zhu Yixi hummed in a low voice and sat up, "Prepare the fragrant soup and take a bath."

In the Forbidden City in the winter, taking a bath is extremely troublesome, and more than 200 eunuchs and court ladies are bothered.

Half an hour later, a bathtub mixed with various spices appeared in front of his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immersed himself in it.

It was also at this time that his mind was the most relaxed.

After taking a hot bath, I felt much refreshed. It was already late, and I didn't need to get those cumbersome clothes. I put on a close-fitting little coat and a squirrel fur cloak, and went back to the warm pavilion.

On the Baibao Pavilion next to the imperial case, the Western chiming clock struck eight times, and the wind howled outside. Because of the newly used heating system in the Nuan Pavilion, the temperature was as suitable as Xiaoyangchun.

The vastness of the territory allowed the entire Ming Dynasty to have various situations.

The heavy snow in the north squeezed the houses; the light rain in the south made many people wait.

After finishing writing, he thought in his heart, "What day is it today?"

"If you come back to the Lord, it will already be October [-]th."

"It's October."

Zhu Yixi was a little melancholy.

Unknowingly, Shaowu's 19 years will pass, which is really nostalgic.

"In a few days, it will be Sister Kress's birthday, isn't it?"

Liu Afu smiled lightly and said:

"Yesterday, Eunuch Zhao from the Hot Spring Palace still mentioned it when he saw the servant envoy. The servant waited for a few days before reminding the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor remembered it."

Zhu Yixi smiled noncommittally, and looked at the slightly bright sky outside: "Let's go to the hot spring palace."

"Yes!" Liu Afu promised, and was about to order to prepare a soft sedan chair, but stopped for the emperor, "It doesn't have to be like this, I'll just do it like this."

After many years in the palace, the Kress sisters have changed from green to mature. After the two gave birth to three princes and princesses for the emperor, the emperor immediately lost interest. Except for wandering occasionally, he lost his previous enthusiasm.

As he got closer, he could still hear the sound of children playing inside. Walking through the withered grass, he saw the figure of a boy, wearing a fragrant Ningxi silk padded robe, leading a smaller doll. The yard is full of frolicking.

"Hey... Hey—"

The smaller doll yelled vaguely and staggered. Judging by his appearance, it was very difficult to get in touch with his brother. Thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he kept yelling: "Wait a minute!" ...wait for me!"

The emperor couldn't help but feel eager for the scene of brothers respecting each other before him.

Standing still, staring blankly.

The older child heard the footsteps, looked back, gave a light 'ah', let go of his younger brother's hand, took a few steps forward, knelt down respectfully and saluted, and called, "Father."

The little one lost his support out of thin air, shook his body a few times, and grinned about to cry.

The emperor walked forward quickly, picked up the little one and smiled, "Little Thirty, don't you recognize your father?"

The little guy blinked his brown-green eyes, and his mixed-race face revealed a trace of confusion. Looking at the man in his arms, he stretched out his hand to touch his face, and chuckled softly.

The little guy on the side showed envy.

Zhu Yixi took his little hand and walked slowly.

The two little ones, the oldest ranked 28th, only five years old, was born to Kress, and the youngest, ranked [-]th, was born to sister Nicole, who was only about two years old.

In addition, sister Kress and younger sister Nicole each have a daughter left, a total of two sons and two daughters.

Hearing the sound, Sister Kress hurried over.

The two of them are only 23 or [-] years old, but they seem to be in their thirties. They are wearing western-style court dresses, their breasts are half exposed, their jade faces are affectionate, and they are full of exotic customs.

This was allowed by the emperor's imperial approval, just for that different kind of difference.

The two girls are naturally happy.

Compared with other concubines in the court, apart from their looks, the two women are also more relaxed in bed, and their temperament is more relaxed.

And this hot spring palace is a palace built in the style of the Spanish and Parisian courts, which is a reward for the two women.

"Isn't it your birthday in a few days?"

Zhu Yixi entered the warm pavilion, still sitting with the little one in his arms, while the other one leaned against him tightly, as if he was feeling his father's love carefully.

No way, whoever let the emperor's heirs have exceeded 18, reaching 52 out of [-], and even the princess has [-] people, and the total number has exceeded [-], reaching [-] people.

With such an equal share, everyone enjoys less fatherly love.

How much the father loves is affected by the pampering received by the mother and concubine.

Kress said a little aggrieved: "Your Majesty, you haven't come to our place for almost two months!"

Nicole also said: "Yeah, I thought you forgot about us!"

Zhu Yixi looked at the pair of sisters, their faces were charming, although there were traces of time on their charming faces, they were still alluring.

His heart warmed up, and he said with a smile: "It will be your birthday in a few days, so you have to have a good time."

"Let's talk, as long as there is no request that is too out of bounds, I will agree to you."

"Your Majesty, I want my parents to enter the palace together to celebrate our birthday."

Kress hesitated a little, but still couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart, and said urgently.

Nicole on the side also opened her eyes wide, looking at the emperor expectantly.

Zhu Yixi shook his head: "There are many rules in the palace, so forget it."

"However, you can go out of the palace to visit relatives, and come back after staying for most of the day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty—" the two girls smiled.

At night, it is naturally a dragon and two phoenixes, and the mandarin ducks are playing in the water.

After enjoying the western style for a long time, Zhu Yixi lost her lust. After being intoxicated for two or three days, she went to appease other women.

However, Ouchi paid close attention to the matter of the two daughters visiting relatives, and arranged hundreds of people to protect them in advance.

Before dawn, Sister Kress took her two older sons and daughters out of the palace and went directly to her mother's house.

Francis de Silval was wearing formal attire, as was his wife, and the two were waiting anxiously.

Beside them, a young man in his twenties was bored, looked around from time to time, and then lowered his head again.

But at this time, the moon in the sky was still there, but it was gradually slanting westward.

Although the city of Beijing is always very early, there are only a few pedestrians at this time.

"Francis, is this true?" The woman looked at the huge team in front of her in disbelief, and couldn't help but grab her husband's arm.

"Of course." Francis gritted his teeth and said, "They are now the emperor's concubines, so there should be such a huge team."

In fact, teams of hundreds of people.Still startled them.

Even the king of Spain would not have such a huge ceremonial guard.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty not only legalized his daughter's lover, but also sent people to pick him up in a fair manner, which is really amazing.

"Dad, Mom!"

Sister Kress couldn't hide her excitement when she saw her elderly parents.

When they came to the mansion, the two sisters saw such a huge four-in-one house, and they couldn't help asking: "This house is so big, I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of silver dollars?"

"Not only." Francis said proudly: "Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it in the inner city."

The younger brother on the side interjected, "It's about 2 yuan. Dad got a bank loan to buy it."

"Shut up." Francis said angrily.

He turned his head and said with a smile: "Now I'm taking over the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I can earn back this little money in a year or two."
