I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 215 Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me die!

A few days later, there was an uproar outside Dhaka.

A number of soldiers stood on both sides of the road with weapons in hand, blocking the people watching the excitement and people from other countries.

Not far from the gate of the city, the eldest prince and all the civil and military officials were preparing to welcome Zhu Zhangui who was coming.

The border to Calgary is actually not far away. The reason why Zhu Zhangui walked for less than half a month was wasting time on investigating where to open the road.

What he asked Hu Yu to investigate was only the security situation of each city and the number of troops.Zhu Zhangui needs to decide where to build the road.

"Your Highness, what are your thoughts on what His Majesty the King talked to us the day before yesterday!"

Seeing that the waiting guests hadn't arrived yet, the Minister of State Affairs glanced around and moved closer to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince, who was in a trance, was woken up by the minister of state affairs, glanced at him and said with a smile.

"I agree with my father's idea. Joining the Ming Dynasty will bring us all benefits and no harm."

The minister of state affairs nodded slightly.

He asked the eldest prince what he thought, not because he had any ambitions.

A few days ago, he discussed the current situation with the king, and they came to a conclusion after studying the map.

In the next 5 years, except for the Bengal Sultanate, which has some kinship with Ming, other countries may be annexed to Ming.

At that time, they will be surrounded by the territory of Ming Dynasty, and they will feel somewhat uncomfortable being alone there alone.

As the eldest princess said, when she and His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun are alive, they can still stabilize the situation between the two countries.

Once they leave in the future, the descendants will not feel so much about the Bengal Sultanate.

Once the Bengal Sultanate offends Ming somewhere, it is likely to be directly annexed.

In addition, the future successor of Ming Dynasty to the throne must be Zhu Zhangui's direct son.

These princes have nothing to do with the Bengal Sultanate. If they were more ruthless, the entire royal family might be wiped out.

After reaching this conclusion, the old king and the Minister of State felt that this is the best time to take refuge.

After the two made the decision to join, they called all the nobles and royal families, announced the decision to everyone, and told their guesses and reasoning.

The people who heard it at the beginning were still very resistant to this.

The Sultanate of Bangladesh is so rich and lacks nothing, why should it rely on others?

But after listening to the analysis of the old king and the minister of state affairs, many people were silent.

The Bengal Sultanate and the Said dynasty are completely different in nature.

The reason why the ministers of the Said Dynasty dared to resist was because they felt that they had the confidence to have a chance to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

The Sultanate of Bangladesh is different.

The Three Kingdoms in the west had just been destroyed, and the powerful Timurid Empire in the north was also severely beaten by the Ming Dynasty.

They also received news a few days ago that Timur's army suffered a big defeat, and even their old marshal died on the battlefield.

With the collapse and failure of the Said Dynasty and the Timurid Empire, the monarchs and ministers of the Bengal Sultanate would not dare to reject Ming Dynasty unless they were mentally ill.

In addition, the eldest princess also said.

Zhu Zhangui is a person who attaches great importance to commerce and trade, especially maritime trade.

The Bengal Sultanate took refuge in Ming Dynasty. In the future, commerce and trade will be more developed, and everyone will earn more money.

The nobles of the Bengal Sultanate who valued making money more than power, after hearing this assurance, all agreed to seek refuge with Ming Dynasty.

Of course, they also made their own demands.

Daming can choose to downgrade the knight titles they currently have, or even allow them to be owned by only one generation, but they absolutely cannot be eliminated directly.

There is also the issue of business and trade. They can choose to pay taxes, but they cannot affect their business.

For these two requests, Sambo just said that he would tell Zhu Zhangui. As for whether Zhu Zhangui would agree, it can only be decided after Zhu Zhangui comes.

Everyone can understand this.

The eldest princess is at best a middleman, and it is the grandson of the emperor who really makes the decision.

None of the ministers and nobles objected, and the eldest prince had no objection to this either.

The eldest prince is not an ambitious person, but a scholar who likes to study culture.

His younger sister knew of his character, so she brought many precious classics from Daming to show him.And tell him that there are more books in Daming, and the legendary Yongle Canon that collects the world's books.

The eldest prince longed for this, and kept nagging his younger sister. When he joined Daming later, he would go to the Imperial College of Daming to study. By the way, he asked his brother-in-law to help him read the Yongle Canon.

The other sons of the old king did not raise any objections to this.

Although they are a bit dandy, they are not fools.

If you stand up against it, you may lose everything you have.

Besides, it seems useless for them to object.

None of the ministers and sons objected, which made the old king feel relieved.

He had heard from his daughter that the Said dynasty of the Three Kingdoms next door had agreed to join Daming.

As a result, his son and ministers opposed it and staged a coup d'état, killing the hapless Hazel Khan.Everyone in the family was killed except for the eldest prince who was involved in the coup.

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening to him, before announcing his joining Daming, the old king transferred his most trusted personal guard into the palace.

I didn't dare to sleep too hard at night. If there was any movement, I would get up and pull out the weapon beside the bed to prepare for battle.

His crazy behavior scared his daughter-in-law enough, thinking that something serious had happened.

"His Royal Highness the First Prince, Your Excellency the Minister of State Affairs, and His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager are about to arrive!"

Just when everyone was thinking about each other, a cavalry galloped over quickly and reported the news that Zhu Zhangui was coming.

The eldest prince lifted his spirits, and signaled to the minister of state affairs next to him to get ready to meet him.

Soon a group of cavalry appeared in the distance, and the leading standard-bearer held high a large flag with yellow borders.

The big flag fluttered in the wind, and a vigorous and powerful character was reflected in the eyes of everyone.

It's just that the people present didn't know much about the culture of the Ming Dynasty. Except for the eldest prince, the others didn't even know what was written on the flag.

"play music!"

Seeing the arrival of the cavalry, the minister of state affairs waved his hand and announced the official start of the welcoming ceremony.

The drummers waiting by the side began to beat hard.

Hundreds of beautiful dancers, with charming smiles on their faces, danced gracefully on both sides of the road, trying their best to show off their figures and dancing postures.

They wanted to use their beauty and figure to attract the attention of that distinguished guest.

No woman would refuse to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. If these lowly dancers did not send themselves into the arms of a noble person at their best, their future lives would be very miserable.

The better ones will die alone, or they will be rewarded to others, and the unlucky ones will even be sold and become prostitutes!
So once they have the opportunity, they will try their best to show themselves, not for the glory and wealth, but just to get rid of the miserable fate in the future.

It's a pity that Zhu Zhangui, who has just eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, doesn't want to eat ordinary meals for the time being.

So the performance of these dancers is obviously flirting to the blind man.

"Meet His Royal Highness Taisun!"

Zhu Zhangui's horse rode in front of the crowd, and a group of people, led by the eldest prince, paid respects.

Looking at the people in the Bengal Sultanate who were performing the rituals of the monarchs and ministers, the corners of Zhu Zhangui's mouth curled up slightly.

From this ceremony, it can be seen that his old father-in-law has convinced everyone.

Of course, thinking so, Zhu Zhangui was secretly on guard.

The lessons learned from the Said Dynasty are still there, and he is not sure whether these people in front of him are trying to lure him into a trap.

"Hahaha, no courtesy, no courtesy!"

Zhu Zhangui laughed and got off his horse, winked at the guard next to him, and after putting his hand into his arms, he strode forward to help the eldest prince up.

"Brother, what are you doing? How can I afford such a big gift? Get up quickly, get up quickly."

As the eldest prince who likes all kinds of cultures, during the time when his sister came back, and during the time when he went to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and stayed in Jinling, he had already learned the Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to say that this guy is born with a language genius. He has only stayed in Daming for more than a month, and with the teaching of his two younger sisters, he can already speak fluently with his two younger sisters in Daming official dialect.

A few days ago, he had also mastered most of Ming's characters, and even some rare characters that literati and scholars could not write, this guy could write one or two.

"Hahaha, we are about to become the people of a country. As the saying goes, the monarch, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, and the son. This is the norm. As a courtier, it is the first time to pay a formal visit to His Highness. How can we be rude?"

The translator who was translating Zhu Zhangui's dialect next to him was stunned when he heard the mandarin which was more fluent than him.

He looked at the eldest prince's skin, and then at his own skin, feeling doubts about his nationality.

Zhu Zhangui was also surprised that the uncle was so fluent in Mandarin.

Before this guy went to Daming a few years ago, he seemed to know only a few simple words.

It's only been a long time, and my uncle can speak Daming's official dialect so fluently.

And between the words, you can also quote the classics.

The smiling eldest prince looked at Zhu Zhangui who suddenly looked at him in astonishment, scratched his head in doubt, looked at the translator and asked.

"Brother, isn't my Daming official statement accurate?"

The translator replied with a wry smile.

"Your Highness, what you said is more than accurate. To put it bluntly, the villain's words are not as fluent as yours."

The eldest prince heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he thought that he just deliberately showed off his literature and said something wrong.

"I didn't expect my elder brother to be a language genius. Zhangui was really wrong before."

Zhu Zhangui held the hand of the eldest prince and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Hehe, I just have a better memory. His Royal Highness is too famous."

The eldest prince was humble, and then pulled Zhu Zhangui, and began to introduce the courtiers behind him.

The courtiers who were introduced respectfully performed the monarch and minister ceremony again.

Zhu Zhangui didn't put on airs either. After the other party finished saluting, he quickly helped him up.

Accepting the salute is a rule, but helping the other party up with his own hands is to show the benevolence and tolerance of him and Daming.

After the introduction of the courtiers of the Bengal Sultanate, Zhu Zhangui, at the invitation of the eldest prince, boarded the king's carriage, and slowly drove into the city under the lively dancing of the dancers of the people.

Along the way, Zhu Zhangui and the eldest prince only talked about poetry, books and cultures of various countries, but did not mention anything about joining.

One is that the terms of the two parties have not been negotiated, and the other is that this uncle may not be able to make the decision.

The carriage drove to the palace, and Zhu Zhangui, who was on the carriage, saw the two sisters Sanbao at a glance. Under the protection of Hu Yu, they accompanied the old king and waited for him.

After getting off the carriage with the eldest prince, Zhu Zhangui glanced at Hu Yu secretly.

Hu Yu, who understood what it meant, returned a very safe look.

At this point, the trace of vigilance in Zhu Zhangui's heart was completely let go.

Hu Yu is his own stalwart, if the whole Ming Dynasty is the most loyal person to him, Hu Yu is the second, no one dares to be the first, not even Li Hu.

If Zhu Zhangui ordered the two to commit suicide, Li Hu might ask Zhu Zhangui the reason before committing suicide, and hoped that Zhu Zhangui would take good care of his family.

But Hu Yu would just wipe his neck with a knife without hesitation, without even asking the reason.

In Hu Yu's heart, Zhu Zhangui's words are the words of heaven, no matter what the reason for killing him is, as long as Zhu Zhangui needs him to die, he will die without hesitation.

"I have met my father-in-law, I wish you good health!"

Zhu Zhangui, who got off the carriage, first smiled and nodded at the two sisters of Sanbao.

As a husband, in front of his wife's natal family, he must give her sufficient respect.

In the same way, as a wife, no matter what at home, she must give her husband enough face in front of outsiders.

"Hahaha, hurry up and give up... hurry up and give up..."

The old king turned sideways with a big laugh, and only accepted Zhu Zhangui's half-respect.

Although Zhu Zhangui has a distinguished status, he is a junior who naturally wants to salute and greet him.

The reason why the old king escaped half the ceremony was because they were about to join Daming, and his status as king would also become a duke.

Zhu Zhangui is the future prince, so the old king naturally cannot accept this courtesy.

And he received the other half of the ceremony because he is still the king and Zhu Zhangui's father-in-law, so he can afford this half of the ceremony.

During this period of time, the old king has made up for Daming's etiquette. He understands these rules that most people don't understand.

Zhu Zhangui, who was supported by the old king, looked at the silver hair under the old king's crown, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "After a few years, father-in-law, you are getting old!"

The old king stroked the silver hair on his temples, and said with a smile: "Time is not forgiving, I am old, if I am not here in the future, you need to help this family a lot!"

Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Whether the family needs to be taken care of in the future depends on the performance of the old man.

If Zhu Zhangui is dissatisfied, I'm sorry, maybe I need to take care of it in advance.

That night, a grand welcome banquet was held in the palace.

Many honorable ministers deliberately made friends with Zhu Zhangui, constantly toasting and flattering.

Zhu Zhangui also never refused to come, drinking and chatting with everyone with a smile.

"Your Highness, this is the topographic map of the entire Bengal Sultanate!"

After the banquet, Zhu Zhangui returned to Sanbao's bedroom.

After Zhu Zhangui let him go to rest first, he drove away the servants who were serving him, and began to ask Hu Yu about the situation of the Bengal Sultanate.

After receiving the topographic map handed over by Hu Yu, Zhu Zhangui watched it seriously.

The map is very detailed, and Hu Yu clearly marked the troops stationed in dangerous places in each city and fortress, as well as the famous families in the city.

With this map, if Da Ming launched an attack directly, it would be at least several times easier.

"Copy a copy of this map and give it to General Zhang Feng at the border, and tell him by the way that we will continue to follow the original plan. If I don't reply to him by then, let him launch an attack directly!"

"Yes!"

After Hu Yu put away the map, Zhu Zhangui looked around and asked in a low voice in Jinling dialect.

"Have you found any opponents, or are they sincerely seeking refuge!"

Hu Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, took out a small book and handed it to Zhu Zhangui, and quickly replied:
"Most of them are in favor of joining the Ming Dynasty, and some are against or unwilling. Among them, the one with the greatest power is a prince who controls the northeast region of the Bengal Sultanate!"

"He is the half-brother of your father-in-law, about 10 years younger than your father-in-law."

"This person is extremely ambitious. He has assassinated the old king many times, but all of them ended in failure!"

"As far as the slaves know, the old king also knows that he did it, but the opponent has fifty or sixty thousand troops in his hands. The old king dare not do it rashly. He is worried that the war will destroy the current situation in the Bengal Sultanate, so he has been Drag like this!"

"The old king also wrote to the other party about joining Daming, but the other party has not responded yet."

"According to our investigation, the other party has secretly prepared for war since receiving the letter!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Zhangui snorted disdainfully.

Even a mere clown dared to challenge the majesty of Ming Dynasty.

"When you send the map to Zhang Feng, tell him that the negotiation on my side was successful. When he leads troops in, he will go and kill this guy first."

Before Hu Yu agreed, Zhu Zhangui added calmly.

"Tell him, I will press all the captured prisoners to the Burmese border, and chop them all off in front of those Burmese soldiers!"

"Then on the pile of corpses, plant a big flag with the characters of several countries printed on it for Lao Tzu!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhangui looked around, came to the table, and wrote a line of big characters with a pen.

After the ink was dry, Zhu Zhangui threw it to Hu Yu.

Hu Yu took it and glanced carefully, and saw six large characters written on it.

Those who obey will prosper, those who oppose will perish!
