Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 84 History of Continuous Change

Li Shanchang, who was very unbalanced, looked at Fu Youde with some disdain in his heart.

He is just a traitor to the Lord, and he is just a Marquis.Although he has now become the Duke of Jinying, it is just that the superior is balancing the government and the opposition. To say that Fu Youde's achievements are the Duke of the Kingdom is an exaggeration.

Fu Youde naturally didn't know what Li Shanchang was thinking, but Fu Youde also saw Li Shanchang.

The heroic Fu Youde cupped his hands and greeted politely, "Mr. Li."

Li Shanchang immediately bowed his hands and returned the gift, but it seemed that there was something in his words, "You are being polite, the next time you introduce criminals..."

"Father, Your Highness wants you to go over quickly." At this moment, Fu Rang shouted.

Fu Youde immediately strode away, which made Li Shanchang even more dissatisfied.The father and son of the Fu family are all vulgar warriors, and now they seem to be proud of themselves.It's just that after some time, it's hard to guarantee that they won't encounter some suppression.

But then Li Shanchang also worried about himself, is the grandson beating me now, or has he really forgotten me? !
Zhu Xiongying naturally doesn't care about these things, he has many things to care about now.If Li Shanchang can be a little more sensible, maybe he really has a chance to recover.Even if you can't become the Duke of the state, there is no problem with a good death or something, maybe there are some good-looking posthumous titles.

But if Li Shanchang continues to be so arrogant, arrogant, etc., then don't blame Zhu Xiongying.There are many talented people in the world, and Zhu Xiongying will not just think about conquering the old Li Shanchang.

Fu Youde was a little excited at this time, he felt that he was now the number one general under the Taisun.

"Your Highness, the side wall is divided into outer, inner and inner gates." Fu Youde pointed to the map and explained earnestly, "The inner gate starts from the west of Pianguan and goes straight to Juyongguan..."

Zhu Xiongying was listening carefully. In fact, he naturally knew these things. The 'side wall' he was talking about now was the famous Great Wall.It's just that the current Great Wall of Ming Dynasty may not have reached the stage of real perfection, and it is only just getting started.

Fu Youde continued, "In the past 20 years, the Dukes of Song and Liang went to the Northeast, and Tatar and Oara retreated to the North."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. Ying, I heard that since the king of Zhongshan took back Beiping, I have been repairing and strengthening the side walls in the Ming Dynasty. In the first year, Juyongguan, Gubeikou, Xifengkou and other places were built. .In four years, the side walls were repaired and strengthened again. In 11 and 14 years, the side walls were also built and reinforced."

Fu Youde nodded immediately, and then said, "Your Highness, my master of the Ming Dynasty has built and strengthened the side wall every time, and the Northern Expedition is about to begin. My Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the defense of the north, but it is only to strengthen the guards and patrols of the frontier generals, and there is no need to build a big side wall! "

That's really the case, the current Daming really doesn't need to spend too much resources on building the Great Wall.

Not to mention the construction of Beiping City, Jinmen Guard, and the dredging of the Grand Canal. Even if Daming is short of craftsmen and labor, if it is going to build the Great Wall at this time, it will naturally be even more stretched.

What's more, the current Ming Dynasty's construction of the Great Wall seems to have little practical effect.

Zhu Xiongying thought about it carefully, and said to Fu Youde, "Mr. Ying, now our Ming Dynasty is powerful, and the Tatars and Oirats have been driven to Mobei. But if the descendants of future generations are not filial, if there is no side wall, I'm afraid it will make those barbarians flat. Let the horse go."

In fact, this is the reality. Although Daming is also training cavalry now, he does not have the cavalry and archery strength comparable to Mobei's implementation.The value of the Great Wall is not to destroy the Mobei army forever, but to defend the Mobei Rangers.

The significance of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty was to deal with hundreds of small groups of wandering horses. With the Great Wall and [-] beacon towers, normal production and life in the North China Plain could be maintained.As for the total number of large-scale nomads, of course the Great Wall cannot withstand it, but it can gather heavy troops during this period.

After carefully discussing many things with Fu Youde, Zhu Xiongying didn't express any more opinions, but just kept some things in his heart.

It is not up to Fu Youde to express more opinions on such matters. This requires Xiao Zhu to discuss with Lao Zhu and Da Zhu.

"Most of the Great Wall in the future began to be built during the period of the emperor's grandfather. It seems that the scale was expanded in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The current Great Wall is still somewhat dilapidated." Zhu Xiongying murmured, "According to what I mean , I definitely don’t know how to repair the Great Wall, at least not major repairs.”

So here comes the question, the Great Wall that makes countless Chinese people proud may not be so majestic anymore.After all, in the future of the Great Wall, more people will see the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and what they will see are the terrifying buildings built during the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help laughing, and said with some self-mockery, "Forget it, anyway, things like building the Great Wall didn't happen overnight, and things in the future can't be guaranteed. But I can be sure that the Nine Sides of Daming cannot be destroyed !"

This is also what Zhu Xiongying said in his heart. In fact, Daming's current situation in the Nine Sides is really good, and it occupies the absolute initiative.

All dynasties did need to worry about the invasion from the nomads in the north, but the Ming Dynasty at this stage does not need to worry about these.

Today's Ming Dynasty is powerful and powerful, controlling many military strongholds in the Inner Mongolia area, the main ones are Jilin Shipyard, Yiji Nai Old City, Daningwei, Kaipingwei, and Dongshengwei, which form a triangle.

Daming can now borrow land in Monan to garrison farmland and herd horses to help with military funds, in order to counterattack Lingbei, the only remaining province that inherited the Yuan Dynasty. Many guards set up in Monan are far north of the Great Wall.

So that is to say, the current military strength of Ming Dynasty is to take the initiative to attack, and it does not need to rely on the protection of the Great Wall.

Such an obvious advantage and strategic initiative are the advantages of Daming.

But if there is no change in history, Grandpa and grandson of Yongle will destroy Lao Zhu's concept of letting go of the border, especially the abandonment of Ren Xuan, and the military inaction to the various tribes of Mongolia, which also laid the foundation for the unification of Mongolia. It can be regarded as laying the groundwork for the change of civil castle.

Forget it, I can't think too much about this unworthy descendant, or I'll really be pissed off.What's more, the so-called Renzong and Xuanzong, including the Ming Dynasty God of War Yingzong, were all good cards and they were smashed.

Not to mention giving up a lot of strategic locations and giving Mongolia a chance to recuperate, it also made Ming's military power suddenly sluggish.The master of the Ming Dynasty, who had been victorious in all battles before, has gradually fallen to the level of the Song Dynasty.

By that time, the power of the Xungui Group will also be compressed to the extreme, and the civil servants will start to rise again.

I still have to talk to Grandpa Huang more later, things in the north can't be sloppy.

While Zhu Xiongying was still thinking about the defense of the Nine Frontiers, Wang Chengen brought a report.

Before Xu Yungong sent troops from Datong Mansion, Li Jinglong had already led [-] cavalry from Xuanfu Town, killing all the way to the hinterland of the grassland, looting many small tribes, and it is said that he even sent people to escort the captives, cattle and sheep.

The cover of this road was well done, which made many Tatar nobles angry and panicked at the same time.In the past, they were the ones fighting the autumn wind, but now it's good, it's the Han people fighting the autumn wind on the grassland, and these warriors on horseback may not say that they are running away, but they must not dare to have much contact.

Da Ming is so strong now, and Da Ming should continue to be so strong.

Zhu Xiongying put down the report and said to Wang Chengen, "Send someone to monitor the news of the Jinmen guards. No matter what time it is, the news of the Jinmen guards will be brought to me immediately."

Whether it was Xu Yungong or Li Jinglong, they were just making small noises. The real highlight was the assembled army, the Wang Shi who had already begun to cross the sea.

Whether it is Korea or Japan, this is the focus of Zhu Xiongying's attention, and this is also a very important thing.Once these two places are conquered, the history and finances of Ming Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Even if there are no obvious changes now, some things can be seen soon.
