Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 158

After explaining to Lan Yu and Xu Yungong, Zhu Xiongying naturally needed to discuss such matters with Lao Zhu.After all, Zhu Xiongying is still just the grandson of the emperor, and he is not yet the emperor who made a decision with one word.

Old Zhu was in a good mood, looked at the map and said to Zhu Xiongying, "If you send troops to Yunnan and Guizhou this time, where will you send the troops?"

Zhu Xiongying understands that this is naturally a test for him, "Grandfather, if you send troops, I think it will be mainly the capital of the right army. Naturally, the capitals of Yunnan and Guizhou will be the main ones. The capitals of Sichuan and Guangxi can also assist. Since grandson wants to expel the rebels, the Shaanxi capital should also send some troops."

Old Zhu was noncommittal, a little joking, "When others send troops, they are swept away with the force of thunder, and they are most afraid of corruption in the war. But you are good, my imperial army is going to fight, and they will be invincible."

Zhu Xiongying ignored this, and said with a smile, "Grandson smiled, let the sixth uncle, the eleventh uncle, and the eighteenth uncle send out some soldiers and horses. Now there are still some emperor uncles watching eagerly. Fourth uncle They went to Dongying, but moved out three fiefdoms, which is still not enough."

Old Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "It's a good thing for you. If your uncles agree, it will be a ghost! Take out their guards and go to help the younger brother who has not yet become a vassal to fight the world. Can such a good thing happen?"

"Isn't it just that the emperor's grandfather must make an order!" Zhu Xiongying said as a matter of course, "The emperor's order has been carried out, and the emperor's uncles naturally dare not object. Besides, if the emperor's uncle and the others want the land of their foundation, then Just go. If you don’t want to, grandson thinks that there will be a place to go when Nineteenth Uncle and the others take over.”

Lao Zhu looked at the map and said cheerfully, "Your nineteenth uncle doesn't want to go there, let your third uncle move over there. But please remember, if your third uncle goes there, you can't be stingy."

Zhu Xiongying froze for a moment, looking very surprised, "Grandfather, third uncle is willing to leave Taiyuan?"

"He has to go if he doesn't want to!" Old Zhu said domineeringly to Zhu Xiongying, "Your third uncle is also domineering, and it's okay when your father is around. Give him the land of Annan and let him Go be a native lord!"

Zhu Xiongying trembled with distress, and said, "Grandfather, is it too big? Grandson is thinking, two uncles..."

Old Zhu slapped Zhu Xiongying on the back of the head and said, "That's it, since you let your third uncle leave Taiyuan, it should be doing him some favors. This time, let your third uncle send some soldiers over here too. Your fourth uncle has gone to Dongying, and your seventeenth uncle also has some guards in Huguang, so he can help his brothers."

How domineering, the territory has not yet been settled, and they are busy dividing up the territory.

What's even more amazing is that Lao Zhu revised the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" again before, that is, he gave away some of the previous "countries without conquest".As if nothing happened, the land of no conquest might be the foundation of his descendants in the future.

Zhu Xiongying muttered in a low voice, and said, "The third uncle just saw that the fourth uncle was happy in Dongying, so he thought about..."

"What nonsense, being a native king in Annan is not as fun as being a prince in Taiyuan!" Lao Zhu said, "We have also thought about it. After the Japanese are defeated, we will change it. Let your fourth uncle, The Seventh Uncle divides the land, the Three Kingdoms are not good, and the two countries are gained."

Zhu Xiongying thought about it again, mainly because he lived in the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time, and he really looked down on some small places.

Lao Zhu's thoughts are actually very simple. If the little Dongying is divided into three countries, and his three sons are domineering in a place like a palm, then what kind of place is the foundation.Furthermore, since the imperial court still wanted to occupy the land of the silver mines, there would be even less space left for the sons, and the Three Kingdoms would be reduced to two.

Furthermore, I didn't expect that some warriors and common people in Dongpu were very loyal to the so-called emperor. The Three Kingdoms area was too small, which would give the so-called emperor a chance to recover his strength and defeat them one by one.It might as well be more straightforward, to support two relatively large kingdoms, and not give the Emperor Dongying any chance to counterattack.

Zhu Xiongying didn't object either, but said, "Grandfather, you can't give away all the good places. Let alone the grandson and younger brothers who need to be resettled, the grandson's children should also have a place to go in the future."

Lao Zhu just looked at the map and didn't speak. Although the great-grandsons are good, Lao Zhu now sees Zhu Wenyin as the great-grandson.Besides, the great-grandson is still not as close as his son, and now he is still considering giving his sons some good places.

"Take some of the gunpowder and firecrackers you made." Lao Zhu glared at Zhu Xiongying, and said, "There are complaints from all over the court, tell yourself how many loose officials and titles you have given! The craftsmen we gave The most humble, but you give back the official position and title!"

Zhu Xiongying was cheerful and quite proud, "Grandfather, this is wrong. Those craftsmen have some benefits. Our sea boats, firecrackers, and gunpowder are not good things that benefit the country and the people. Now open the mountain , paving the way, grandchildren will be bombarded with explosives!"

The Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry still has some effect. Although the technology tree has not fully blossomed all at once, it is not bad to have a steady rise.

As for the official titles and titles given by Zhu Xiongying, they are basically scattered officials, with a better reputation.In fact, not many titles were given out, and they were all low-ranking titles, but this also made countless skilled craftsmen grateful.

Now they are all focused on research and development. Who still wants to preserve the skills handed down from the ancestors?Maybe if you get a title, your descendants will have iron rice bowls and become nobles.

From the humblest craftsmen to officials and nobles, these craftsmen are excited now.That is to say, they can't make atomic bombs and machine guns now, or else they will take them out one by one.

"Grandson thinks the same thing, grandson is still thinking about taking action against the Mongolian and Yuan tribes." Zhu Xiongying pointed to the map and said with a smile, "These Mongols are fighting on their own, and grandson is going to win a group and split a group. Suppress another batch."

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile and asked Zhu Xiongying to continue talking.For Zhu Xiongying's strategy, Lao Zhu is actually quite satisfied.

Lao Zhu is naturally full of confidence in the strength of the imperial army.But he also knew that if wars started everywhere, maybe it might end up being militaristic, so when it should be restrained, it should be restrained, and those who should be wooed should also be wooed.

Going to war directly may not be the best effect.It is also very important to weaken the strength of those potential opponents.The continuous embargo over these years has made it difficult for some Mongolian tribes to make a living. This can also be regarded as a strategy of Ming Dynasty to weaken the opponent.

Old Zhu can't be said to have fully delegated power, but now he's more of a sideline 'watching politics', which can be regarded as helping him on his horse and seeing him off.

Zhu Xiongying is now taking action and making decisions on many things, and Zhu Xiongying can decide on general matters with one word.And some major issues, or when Lao Zhu feels that Zhu Xiongying's handling is not appropriate, he will come forward.

This gave Zhu Xiongying enough opportunities to exercise, and it also allowed Zhu Xiongying to grow rapidly.Now the political structure of Ming Dynasty has once again returned to the previous state of "there are two days in the sky".

It's just that in the past, many things were given to the crown prince, and the crown prince had to deal with it before sending it to the emperor for review.But now it has been slightly changed, the emperor's grandson makes the decision first, and then His Majesty the emperor makes the final decision.

Civil servants and military generals are all used to this routine, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it.Because it has been in such a model for more than ten years, it is natural that there is nothing uncomfortable now. Everyone has long been used to Emperor Zhu's raising children and grandchildren.

When Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying finalized the plan to send troops, an urgent report came over.Tang He died of illness in his hometown in Fengyang. Old Zhu named Tang He the King of Dongou, posthumously titled Xiangwu.

Although the old Zhu was a little jealous of Tang He these days, he was the first to weaken the military power of his generals, and he always used Tang He for surgery.But now that Tang He passed away, Lao Zhu felt sad and uncomfortable. This was another close comrade in arms of his, and they all left one by one.

Things like birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be controlled. Tang He's death is considered a 'good thing', at least it fulfilled a good story about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

As for the inheritance of Lord Xin Guo, there is no way to inherit it for the time being, mainly due to the early death of Tang Hezi and Sun Jun, which also makes Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu have no choice.They need to wait until Tang He's great-grandson grows up a bit before he can be knighted.

Tang He's contribution is still there, but there are some things that really cannot be controlled.Of course, the soup and the children at home are a little more promising, and they can definitely make it through quickly.It is still necessary to raise credit. After all, Tang He has made great contributions. Lao Zhu admits this, and Xiao Zhu needs to admit it even more.

Several heroes of the founding of the country passed away one after another, and even Sapphire can only be regarded as Mesozoic.This is probably because talented people come out from generation to generation, and this is probably because it is really necessary to continuously train a group of new talents at this stage.

The older generation has completed their historical mission, and they are slowly withdrawing from the stage of history.

At this time, a new generation of people needs to stand up, undertake their historical mission, and complete their tasks.

Zhu Xiongying thought he was ready, and he also felt that he could take on more responsibilities.Of course, by his side, there are also many people who feel that they are ready, and they can't wait to show their talents and prove their abilities.

It is probably because these people are not very peaceful, and it may be because these people have their own ambitions and pursuits, and they are absolutely not reconciled to mediocrity.

Zhu Xiongying, who was in a good mood, began to prepare. Since there is a new war and since he has his own strategic intentions, he naturally needs to continue to improve at this time, and must ensure nothing goes wrong.

A powerful Ming Dynasty should be even stronger.The wise and powerful grandson of the emperor must not have some defeats!
