Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 343 - Chapter 341
Speaking of Aixinjueluo, it is inevitable to mention the Qing Dynasty, and mentioning the Qing Dynasty is always difficult for future generations. Zhen Wu is not the kind of sunspot who can't see a little praise about the Qing Dynasty, but he is also not whitewashing the Qing Dynasty. filial son.

He doesn't have braids on the back of his head, he won't advocate the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong or gossip about the harem of Lord Kang and Qianye, and of course he won't talk about the fact that the Qing Dynasty misunderstood me for a hundred years in China to flog the Qing Dynasty.

In the case of national integration in later generations, everyone is brothers and sisters, and some consequences left over from history need to be borne by everyone.

After all, who doesn't have a prodigal son.

There's no need to be brooding all the time.

And as long as everyone works together, the time that has been delayed for more than a hundred years will eventually be recovered bit by bit, and stand on the pinnacle of the world again.

It's just that history of humiliation needs everyone to remember and learn some lessons from it.

In fact, looking closely at history, everything the Qing Dynasty did had one purpose, which was to maintain their rule.

Since ancient times, apart from civil strife, the biggest crisis in the change of dynasties in the Central Plains came from the invasion of northern nomads. Through a series of operations and policies, the Qing Dynasty effectively eliminated the threat of Mongolia to them. This is what they deserve. place of praise.

But when the northern nomads no longer threatened their rule, they did not vigorously develop their domestic economy and power, but instead focused more on eliminating civil strife.

They have a sense of inferiority and insecurity from a small ethnic group, and under these two mentalities, they are sensitive to the Han people and strictly guard against them, for fear that the Han people will start to make trouble.

This is something they can't change. Their number is too small, so that the number of casualties is slightly higher. Maybe everyone in the Eight Banners has to wear mourning.

How can this make them feel at ease about the countless Han people!
Firearms, restrain their cavalry, then they won't do it.

Tools that can replace manpower are not used anymore, they are afraid that the Han people will be idle and cause trouble.

If there are too many enlightened scholars, that won't work, they have to find an excuse to kill a batch.

A series of policies, etc., all show that they are afraid that the Han people will overthrow their rule.

……

In this way, they thought that after the troubles in the north were eliminated and the Han people were strictly prevented from causing trouble, their Qing Dynasty would be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability, but they never imagined that there would be enemies coming from the sea.

Close the door and lock the country, can you lock the enemy's guns?

Can't lock it.

But it doesn't matter, they don't believe that a small country can do anything to them. After all, the Central Plains has a vast land and rich resources, and it doesn't matter if a small country invades a little bit.

Even when it is time to fight, let the Han people go to the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose, as long as the enemy does not overthrow their rule, they are not short of money.

But the reality will eventually teach them a truth, those who hold a salary to put out a fire, the salary is not exhausted, and the fire is not extinguished.

So under worsening conditions, when the land of the Central Plains was in dire straits, the Han people woke up. They did not hesitate, like flying doves to the fire, one after another began to save this ancient land, and then jointly composed an epic story. age.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu sighed.

He thought, I hope he can affect the future, so that that humiliating history will no longer happen in the Central Plains.

So the Jurchens were killed?This idea suddenly popped up in Zhen Wu's mind.

That's easy.

The current Jurchens have only entered the agricultural society when they are more developed, and the number of them is not too large, so it is not difficult to destroy, but after the Jurchen is eliminated, will there be no other small ethnic groups, with the support of Ming Dynasty, their desires will gradually grow?

It definitely will.

And this is what Zhen Wu is most afraid of.

In fact, in Zhen Wu's view, all ethnic minorities are not suitable to dominate the Central Plains, because no matter which ethnic minority is in power, they will be wary of the Han people. Because of their numbers, they cannot treat all ethnic groups equally, let alone give the Han people Opportunities for peaceful competition, if you don't suppress the Han people, it's considered a high incense. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the living environment of Han officials and Manchu officials was simply not too great.

So this situation will inevitably produce a lot of internal friction.

But the Han nationality is just the opposite. Because of the huge number of people, the Han nationality has never worried about peaceful competition with any ethnic group. As long as those ethnic groups do not make chaos, the Han people are willing to accept them, and even in order to maintain harmony, they are willing to give some preferential policies to various ethnic groups. , in an attempt to take care of ethnic minorities.

This is also due to the nature of the Han people since ancient times. For example, when Zhu Di talked about Annan, he naturally regarded the people of Annan as his subjects.

It's also kind of annoying to say the least.

After getting used to Big Brother, I always want to put on airs of Big Brother.

It's the kind of hopeless.

……

Zhen Wu thought about these things all the way, and when he returned home from the palace, his memorial to the two trade lines was not handed over to Zhu Di in the end. Zhu Di wanted to let go of the Annan matter, so he had no choice but to let go of his ideas. one put.

He came to the study, rearranged the memorial, and then went to the main room.

But after he turned around, Zhu Yuying wasn't there, not even Jin'er, Zhen Wu was a little puzzled, this shouldn't be the case.

When Zhen Wu came to the yard, he saw a little maid cleaning the window, so he waved to her.

It was probably because Zhen Wu seldom talked directly with the little maids on weekdays, so the little maid seemed a little nervous, and stammered, "Master." Then she put her little head on her sharp chest .

Zhen Wu nodded and asked, "Where is Madam?"

"The madam is at the old madam's side." The little maid squeezed her hands nervously, as if Zhen Wu could eat her.

Zhen Wu frowned and said, "It's this hour, why are you still with the old lady..." As he spoke, Zhen Wu saw a little surprise on the little maid's face, and the next moment, Zhen Wu slapped himself on the forehead superior.

His grandma's.

Zhu Yuying was pregnant, and he almost forgot about it, and he also took on a new job.

Fucking hell.

Zhen Wu immediately raised his foot and walked towards Zhang Yuqing.

But before he left the yard, Zhu Yuying came back.

Zhu Yuying seemed to be in a good mood, talking and laughing with Jin'er as she walked, today she was wearing a red and gold embroidered skirt, she looked the most dignified and soft, with the luxuriously embroidered cloud shoulders, she looked even more beautiful. Extraordinary temperament.

As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Zhen Wu at a glance, and a flowery smile burst out of surprise on her face: "Husband, why didn't someone notify me when you came back? I told my mother just now that I don't know why you are here." It's time to come back."

Seeing Zhu Yuying lightly running towards him, Zhen Wu hurriedly walked a few steps to Zhu Yuying's side.

"I just came back too, so I'm not going to find you at Mother's side." As he said that, Zhen Wu stretched out his hand to grab Zhu Yuying's little hand. He looked at her delicate face and complained, "You said you just had a baby." The body is still going to run, how amazing is this, you must pay more attention in the future, don't run and jump like this again."

Zhu Yuying smiled and hummed, touched her abdomen subconsciously, then raised her head and smirked twice at Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu could tell.

Zhu Yuying, who was pregnant with her child, was happier than ever.

I don't know how long Zhu Yuying has been secretly looking forward to this child.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu felt a little guilty. He avoided Zhu Yuying's hot and joyful eyes, pretended to chat as usual, and began to ask what Zhu Yuying did when he was not at home.

Zhu Yuying chatted with Zhen Wu.

It didn't take long.

Zhu Yuying noticed that something was wrong with Zhen Wu's state. She had lived with Zhen Wu and his wife for so many years, so she could guess what Zhen Wu was thinking. gone?"

Zhen Wu smiled awkwardly. There was no way to hide this matter from Zhu Yuying, so he had to tell the truth: "Your Majesty has given you a new job. He will go to Liaodong, and it may take a year or two before he comes back."

The more he talked, the more guilty Zhen Wu felt.

He thought he loved his wife more, but when the Annan incident that he had been thinking about for a long time appeared in front of his eyes, and he was in the area where Zhu Di was fooled by slaves in the palace, he even forgot his daughter-in-law in his excitement.

Maybe this is the man.

Zhu Yuying was stunned for a moment, the smile that had been overflowing on her face because she was pregnant with the child dissipated after a swipe, but soon, Zhu Yuying forced herself to smile, and gently hugged Zhen Wudao: "It's okay , Yuying will take good care of the family and this little guy."

"I…"

"Husband, don't need to say anything, Yuying understands that you are not only Yuying's husband, but also the Duke of Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuying pretended to be sensible and said, but the loss in her eyes was still like that of Zhen Wu in the eyes.

Zhen Wu was even more guilty. He scratched his head, not knowing whether he was lying to Zhu Yuying or making excuses for himself: "Oh, I blame the old man when I said it, I said I won't go, let me go, and said He doesn’t feel at ease when someone else goes, and I say I want to stay at home to take care of you, but he just doesn’t agree, and even scolds me for being worthless, no, I have no choice but to agree.”

As soon as these words fell, Zhu Yuying's pretending to be sensible and understanding was smashed to pieces.

She frowned and said: "Father, how can you do this? No, I'm going to the palace right now. I have to talk to Father. The Ming Dynasty is not just a husband and a duke..."

"Hey hey."

Zhen Wu hurriedly stopped Zhu Yuying, if Zhu Yuying was really asked to go to Zhu Di and talk about it, why Zhu Di didn't know about Zhu Yuying, but he would definitely turn around and beat him.

"Yuying, don't be like this. Father is not only our father, but also the emperor of the world. We must understand father. He must have more comprehensive considerations. We can't just care about Xiaojia and Daming." Speaking of this, Zhen Wu sighed and said: "Actually, as long as you know in your heart that I love you the most and don't want to part with you, I won't be afraid of any errands. I know in my heart that you expect me to come back and miss me every day, and I will do it as soon as possible." After finishing my errands, I will come back to see you as soon as possible."

"Husband, Yuying will miss you every day."

Zhen Wu was so touched that he hugged Zhu Yuying with all his strength, and the relationship between the two became stronger for a while, and Zhu Yuying's loss was all transferred to his dissatisfaction with Zhu Di, and he felt a little distressed towards Zhen Wu.

……

In the next few days, Zhen Wu began to make preparations for entering Liaodong. He first met Ahachu, made an appointment with Ahachu to set off together, and then met Yishiha, the assistant Zhu Di had arranged for him.

Yishiha was born in Haixi Jurchen. He knows the customs of the Jurchens and the laws and regulations of Ming Dynasty. More importantly, Yishiha was an eunuch in Yan Wangfu earlier and won Zhu Di's trust. Therefore, with Yishiha's help, It would definitely make Zhen Wu a lot easier.

And Zhu Di sent Yi Shiha to assist Zhen Wu, which also shows that Zhu Di attaches great importance to this matter.

While Zhen Wu and the others were preparing various things to enter Liao, the day of departure was approaching day by day.

When it was time to leave one day later, Zhen Wu found Xiao Liu that night.

Xiao Liu has been depressed ever since he learned that Zhen Wu was going to Liaodong. Before, Zhen Wu was busy and didn't have time to chat with Xiao Liu.

Zhen Wu smiled and sat down opposite Xiao Liu and said, "Oh, what's wrong with my Arrow God, Zhen Liuniang? Could it be that my elder brother offended her and made her unwilling to talk to her elder brother these days?"

Xiao Liu snorted and turned his little head to the side.

Zhen Wu felt bored, rubbed his nose with a wry smile and said, "What's the matter, you should talk to elder brother. In the past, when elder brother went out, you would bouncing around and pester elder brother. This time, you have been depressed. How can you make me feel at ease when I go out."

Xiao Liu didn't speak.

After coming over for a while, tears started to fall from Xiao Liu's big eyes.

This startled Zhen Wu.

Xiao Liu has such a temper, he has grown up so big, the number of times he shed tears can only be counted on his fingers.

"What's the matter? Why are you still crying? Don't cry, don't cry. We don't care about anything. Anyway, it's my elder brother who made a mistake. My elder brother apologizes to you."

Zhen Wu coaxed distressedly, but Xiao Liu kept on crying, and kept silent. The anxious Zhen Wu soon became angry. He jumped around the room, and when he thought of a possibility, he became even more angry. He flew into a rage and said, "Did someone bully you in this city? We're not afraid, you tell Big Brother, Big Brother went and hacked him alive."

Hearing what Zhen Wu said, Xiao Liu finally reacted.

She shook her head with big tears in her eyes.

Zhen Wu said anxiously: "Oh, it's not that someone bullied you, so why on earth, who can provoke my Xiaoliu to lose the golden bean."

Hearing Zhen Wu's concerned words, Xiao Liu couldn't help crying, and couldn't help but threw himself into Zhen Wu's arms.

In her sobbing voice, a word gradually came out.

"I'm afraid that after my eldest brother comes back, I will marry off, and I will never see my eldest brother again."

Zhen Wu was stunned.

He sighed and said: "What nonsense, even if you are married, as long as you want to see your eldest brother, you can come to see your eldest brother at home anytime."

Xiao Liu suddenly became excited.

"But this is my home. I want to see my elder brother, so why do I have to come to my house to see my elder brother?"

This…

Zhen Wu fell silent.

Xiao Liu went on to say: "I know that after I got married, my elder brother and I became two families. This place is no longer my home, but my natal family. In the future, my elder brother will only love Xiao Qi and San Yue more. And I will be like the second sister and the others. I can’t go back to my mother’s house several times a year, and my elder brother will no longer treat me as close as I am now. It's time to go out."

two families...

This word really hurts.

But as they grow older, no matter how close siblings are, they will eventually become two families.

Zhen Wu suddenly thought that when Erxian and the others were not married, at that time he could scold them as much as he wanted, do whatever he wanted them to do, he could even kick them, but since they got married, they get along again, Zhen Wu General Wu is a little more thoughtful and less casual.

But when they were young, they were obviously very close. They were so close that they could drink water from a cup and wash their faces with a wooden basin.

Xiao Liu wiped her tears vigorously at this time, she raised her head and looked pitifully at Zhen Wu and said, "Brother, can I not get married?"

Zhen Wu avoided Xiao Liu's gaze, took a deep breath, and said softly and seriously: "Look what nonsense you are talking about again, which woman in this world doesn't marry, how can my Xiao Liu not marry, but I know you're nervous, but your second sister was also so nervous when they got married, and your sister-in-law was also crying like you when she got married..."

"you're lying."

Xiao Liu curled her lips and retorted: "Sister-in-law told me that when she got married, she laughed happily at night."

amount.

This…

Zhen Wu said helplessly: "It was your sister-in-law who lied to you, but there is one thing your sister-in-law can't lie to you. You can take a look at your sister-in-law. After she married into our family, is there anything unhappy about it? Think about you again." Second Sister and the others, have they ever been unhappy after they got married? No, so getting married is not terrible. My Xiao Liu will definitely meet a very good man, and he will treat you better than Big Brother , and loves you more, and you will also like his care for you or his smile, and the two of you will spend the rest of your life together and pass on your offspring."

"This kind of life is perfect, Big Brother doesn't want Xiao Liu's life to be flawed, do you know that?" Zhen Wu added at the end.

Following these words, the room fell into a brief silence.

Soon, Xiao Liu's muffled voice sounded.

"But I don't think there is any man in the world who can be better than elder brother and love me more than elder brother, and I don't think I will like another man."
