Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 135 Princess Zhao Min's Revenge!Zhu Han supervises the country!
The land of Liaoyang Province in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty is very large, and it can even be said to be so large that it has no boundaries, because Liaoyang Prefecture is only the southernmost tip of Liaoyang Province, and if you go further north, you must at least reach the outer Xing'an Mountains Even in places such as the Kamchatka Peninsula further north, there are many tribes under the jurisdiction of Liaoyang Province.

Zhu Han's order to Mao Gui's Northern Expedition was to conquer as many local Jurchen and other tribes as possible to the north.

Baishan Heishui is a treasure land, and it must not be given up because of the bitter cold.

Liaoyang Mansion is basically a piece of fat that cannot be escaped. The focus of the entire Liaoyang Province in the future will naturally be to conquer the local Jurchen ministries.

"The last general obeys!" Elhaqi responded immediately, and then said cautiously: "My lord, the last general has consumed a lot of luggage, especially salt and sugar, which are good things to subdue all tribes!"

Hearing Elhaqi's words, Mao Gui laughed triumphantly.

Zhu Han sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to bring a large amount of refined salt and sucrose. Many Jurchen tribes in the inland of Liaoyang Province are all very short of salt, and often need to exchange fur ginseng and other mountain products with the Mongols in Liaoyang Prefecture. However, the Mongols are very greedy, and have always sold salt at high prices in exchange for fur and ginseng in the hands of the Jurchens, which caused the Jurchens tribes to often be in a state of lack of salt.

Elhazi's Jurchen servants could easily gain the support of other Jurchen tribes by using the salt.

What's more, the Ming court sent a lot of sugar!

Sugar is an unheard of good thing for the Jurchens in the deep mountains and old forests. Many tribal leaders and nobles have never eaten sugar in their entire lives.

Such a sweet thing immediately aroused the Jurchen's strong interest. Now a catty of sugar can almost be exchanged for ten high-quality mink furs.

With these two things, Elhaqi can be said to be able to do everything to his advantage.

"These things you want are not a problem. As long as you work hard for Daming, I will naturally prepare everything for you." Mao Gui said with a serious face.

"Thank you, sir!" Elhaqi responded immediately.

Mao Gui stroked his beard and continued: "Elehaqi, I have already recommended you to the imperial court. I believe the imperial court will call you into the capital in a short time. Don't embarrass me when the time comes."

"What? Entering Beijing?"

Upon hearing Mao Gui's words, Elhaqi was immediately surprised!

According to Zhu Han's suggestion, as long as "barbarian" generals like Elhaqi and Li Chenggui are promoted to command positions or above, they must first go to the capital for inspection and training.

As for the purpose, of course, to brainwash these barbarian generals and prevent them from potential threats of a separate party in their thinking.

Only by showing them the strength of the military and political power of the Ming Dynasty and intimidating their souls can they truly serve their lives wholeheartedly.

"Haha, I like you!" Mao Gui said with a smile.

Li Chenggui, who was on the side, immediately cast envious and jealous eyes on Elhaqi. The Jurchens have a vast territory. If they want to conquer the Jurchens, they naturally need a Jurchens like Erhaqi. This is Li Cheng Gui's unmatched advantage.

"Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely sweep all the barbarians for the imperial court!" Elhaqi said excitedly.

If Erlehaqi can go to Yingtian Mansion and see the Daming Jiangnan where silk, sugar and gold and silver are everywhere, then Erhaqi feels that his life is worth it.

The savage's admiration for a civilized country can be said to be instinctive.

It's just that when this civilized country does not have strong force to guarantee its own safety.

This barbarian's admiration will turn into greed for wealth, and then into the ambition to plunder.

Fortunately, today's Daming is as tyrannical as a fierce tiger out of the mountain, and it is definitely not something that a mountain Jurchen like Elhaqi can provoke.

The only thing Elhaqi could do was to help Daming slaughter the disobedient Jurchen tribes wholeheartedly, and discipline those Jurchen tribes who surrendered to pay tribute of fur, ginseng and other products.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, Jinling Yingtianfu.

British palace.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the older brother Zhu Yuanzhang, regardless of Zhu Han's objection, ordered very strongly to build the Prince's Mansion for King Zhu Han of England.

A huge King's Mansion rose from the ground in Yingtian City. After several months of construction, it can be described as resplendent and magnificent.

"Brother, Mao Gui sent someone to report that Nahachu from Liaoyang has hesitated, but his son Chahan has already promised that Nahachu will stay in Liaoyang and surrender, and will not follow Meng Yuan to Mobei. "

In his palace, Zhu Han was talking about the situation in Liaoyang with his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang.

The older brother Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing Songjiang cotton casual clothes, and he was sipping tea in a leisurely manner, "I will leave everything to you in Liaoyang. Anyway, you have already said that the key to the stability of Liaodong is not the Mongols." , but in the Jurchens, Naha surrendered or not, they all look the same.”

Because of the complete defeat of the Mongolian and Yuan courts, the Mongols from Dalu Huachi Prefecture fled to the northern grasslands one after another.

However, the harsh weather conditions on the grasslands make many Mongolians fearful.

In particular, the Mongols in Liaoyang Province knew everything about the grassland environment because they were closer. Many people were not willing to escape at all, but wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

"Hehe, the Mongols are already in decline. The Jurchens in Liaodong have already been scared out of their wits. As long as we use both soft and hard methods, we can guarantee that all the northeast of Liaoyang will surrender." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Mao Gui's memorials are basically asking for some military supplies, and he didn't say anything about the strength of the troops. It seems that you can leave it to him with confidence." Zhu Han continued holding the memorial and said.

The older brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "We see that Mao Gui's luggage is basically some salt and sugar. It seems that the Jurchen tribes recognize these things."

"In the bitterly cold Northeast, salt and sugar are things that can save lives, so they are naturally suitable for buying those Jurchen tribes." Zhu Han said.

The strategy of using salt and sugar to subdue the Jurchen tribe was basically decided by Zhu Han himself.

He didn't expect...these two products are so powerful. Many Jurchen tribes are rebellious, but under the persuasion of Erhaqi and other Jurchen generals, they soon accepted the jurisdiction of the Ming army. What they covet, of course, is the salt and sugar.

"These barbarians have always been very cunning. They won't obey orders and make trouble after they've been wiped clean?" Zhu Yuanzhang, the elder brother, suddenly became worried.

These Jurchen tribes are basically barbarians who drink blood and drink blood. Don't think about loyalty, benevolence and righteousness, there is no such concept at all.

Therefore, brother Zhu Yuanzhang's worries are absolutely justified.

"Brother, don't worry, these Jurchen tribes must have such thoughts, but I have long thought that it is impossible for them to escape so easily." Zhu Han said confidently.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested, and asked curiously: "Qiwu, tell me quickly, what are your plans?"

"These Jurchen tribes are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is difficult to find their traces, so it is very difficult to rule." Zhu Han said.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, which is very reasonable.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the current level of education of the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be very good, especially for the historical materials of the past dynasties, and he has a very in-depth understanding of it.

Between the white mountains and the black waters of Liaoyang Province, those barbaric Jurchens have accepted the jurisdiction of the Central Plains court in name since the Tang Dynasty, but only in name.

Even in the powerful Khitan and Liao Kingdom, the control over the Jurchens is very limited, otherwise they would not be allowed to cause riots, and the Daliao and Song Dynasties would be brought to the fore.

As for the Great Yuan established by Mongols, its dominance was even more dire. In just a few decades, the Jurchen ministries resumed their own ways. In addition to paying some fur tribute to the Mongolian and Yuan courts, they sent out some strong men as servants. The army is gone, and all the control of the alliance is gone.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to subdue the Jurchen ministries, the rare thing is how to rule and restrain them for a long time.

"Canglin knows etiquette well enough. These Jurchen tribes are too poor. Even the leaders of the tribes are so poor. Even if they rebel, they don't have any scruples. If they live a life of good food and drink, then they will be manipulated from time to time. If you hit the key point, you can completely control them." Zhu Han said.

"Then how to control them?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

How to rule these barbarians in the deep mountains and old forests is a difficult problem that the Central Plains dynasty has never broken through for hundreds of years.

"It's very simple. On the one hand, use our powerful force to deploy leading parties like Erhaqi, so that the Jurchen ministries can see the benefits of following us, and then build towns in the local area, using the Central Plains' salt, cotton, cloth, silk and sugar. Waiting for the goods, in exchange for the mountain fur in the hands of the Jurchens, that can make the Jurchens rich quickly." Zhu Han said.

"Get rich?! Doesn't that mean that they can use more money to buy weapons and equipment? If they rebel, it will be even more powerful?" Zhu Yuanzhang, the elder brother, wondered.

"No, we can control the inflow of weapons and other items, and after these Jurchen tribes become rich, we will confer official positions on their noble leaders, let them bring money to the Central Plains to enjoy, and gradually manage the local tribes. If it is handed over to the officials appointed by us, after a long time, these Jurchen tribes will forget their Jurchen identity, and they will completely live as Han people." Zhu Han said.

His idea is not actually his own originality, but refers to the conquest strategy of the old Tsarist Russians in history.

Many nomads in Central Asia were assimilated by this series of methods of Tsarist Russia. If the old man hadn't been too greedy and squeezed the locals too hard, making them resist repeatedly, Central Asia would have been built a long time ago. A Tsarist Russian back garden.

Zhu Han's method is more effective in Liaoyang Province.

The Jurchen ministries in Liaoyang Province were scattered, and there were many conflicts among them. As long as the two methods of force and trade were used by the Ming Dynasty, it would only be a matter of time before they assimilated these barbarians.

"Haha, Seventh Five-Year, it must be that you have a lot of ideas! In this way, my Ming Dynasty will be able to expand thousands of miles in the future!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction.

He saw the world map given by Zhu Han!

Liaoyang Province has a vast territory, almost equivalent to half of the Central Plains.

Moreover, Zhu Han also told his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang that there is a large piece of fertile black land in Liaoyang Province!
There are also gold mines all over the place, waiting for the people of Daming to dig.

Therefore, when he heard that Zhu Han had a way to completely deal with Liaoyang Province, his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy.

"As for Liaoyang's affairs, we will do as you say. Give Maogui as much salt and sugar as you want." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "There is also the battle in Huguang. It has become more and more difficult recently. We have to go and do it ourselves to boost morale. The affairs here in Yingtianfu will also be entrusted to you."

Since Hu Dahai, Zhang Dingbian and other generals led the army to attack Chen Youliang, they have been advancing all the way.

Relying on its huge advantages in equipment and training, the Ming army quickly drove Chen Youliang's Han army out of Hanyang and retreated to the east of Kuizhou.

Chen Youliang relied on his own means, coupled with the fatigue of the Ming army after a long battle, he managed to gain a firm foothold.

"Chen Youliang really has two talents. He is not a simple person. He has our pursuers behind him, and even beat Ming Yuzhen away. You have to be careful with this kind of skill." Zhu Han said with a solemn expression.

Although Chen Youliang is unpopular and loves to play tricks, he is still very good at sexual warfare.

Ming Yuzhen, who originally occupied Chongqing, was beaten and fled into the vast mountains before Chen Youliang could last two rounds.

"When we go to Huguang this time, we don't ask too much. As long as we drive Chen Youliang out of Huguang completely, that's enough. First stabilize the people's hearts in Huguang, and then it won't be too late to deal with Chen Youliang slowly." Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

For the strategy of attacking Chen Youliang, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang basically put safety first. The terrain advantages in Xichuan and Chongqing are huge, and eagerness for success will only give Chen Youliang a chance.

The Ming Dynasty is currently developing vigorously, and the advantage of time is on the side of Zhu Han and the others.

"Huguang is familiar, the world is full! Stabilizing Huguang is much more important than eliminating Chen Youliang." Zhu Han also nodded and said.

As long as Chen Youliang's remaining forces are driven into Xichuan, it will be difficult for them to go east to Huguang.

"When we go to Huguang, you will be in charge of the government in Yingtian. We have asked Liu Bowen, and we can let you supervise the country and act as the emperor!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

"Liu Bowen, this old bastard, can really trick me! What prison country, brother, are you busy with me? Let Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen deal with it. If you have a big problem, come to me. What prison country, it's not big or small. Everything came to me?" Zhu Han shook his head again and again.

"Who told you to be our own brother, Brother Dahu, we went to Huguang, and we don't worry if you don't supervise the country." The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang continued.

"I'll say it again, I don't want to be Lao Shizi supervising the country, let Biaoer supervise the country, he is the crown prince, and it is reasonable for the crown prince to supervise the country!" Zhu Han immediately said with a smile.

The older brother Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless for a moment, and said, "Qiwu, Biaoer is only two years old! You wet your pants yesterday, how can you supervise the country? It's just nonsense!"

But Zhu Han refused to give up easily, and said: "If Biao'er is still young, you can let my sister-in-law act as an agent of the government. I think my sister-in-law is talented, and she is not inferior to Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and the others."

Zhu Han's words are not to brag about his sister-in-law Ma Xiuying. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Four Seas Trading Company managed by the second brother-in-law Li Zhen has become a source of income for the royal family. Under Zhu Han's suggestion, the second brother-in-law Li Zhen has now formed Zhen is in charge of the business, while her sister-in-law, Empress Ma, is in charge of the internal treasury.

The entire internal treasury is well-organized by his sister-in-law, Empress Ma, who is completely a standard internal affairs talent.

"No, no, your sister-in-law has just become pregnant again, so I can't let her be tired anymore." Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again and again. For the Queen's hard work, the old brother Zhu Yuanzhang has always noticed the Queen's hard work, if it wasn't for Zhu Han's suggestion He just wanted to let Empress Ma be safe in the harem as husband and son, so that she wouldn't have to work so hard.

"Well, that's fine, but can you keep a low profile on this matter, anyway, I'm also Prime Minister Zuo, so I don't need the name of supervisor." Zhu Han said.

The political significance of Jian Guo is of great importance. Now that the crown prince Zhu Biao is young, if he is given the title of Jian Guo, he may make some villainous and ambitious people have different ideas in the future.

I don't think that my elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang or nephew Zhu Biao will suspect me in the future, but I am really afraid of adding unnecessary troubles.

However, elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Zhu Han's worries.

"No! You have to take the lead for us, the prison country!" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was unquestionable, fully demonstrating the authority of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, lest Zhu Han would not accept the prison country.

"Okay!" Zhu Han felt a little helpless.

. . . . .

Yangzhou, at the canal pier, a large ship slowly left and headed south.

The cabin was very crowded.

Many men and women are in the narrow cabin, waiting to go to the destination - Yingtianfu.

Today's Yingtian Mansion is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that there are countless workshops and businesses springing up one by one, requiring a lot of labor.

The people on this ship are basically refugees.

Going to Yingtian Mansion in the capital is to get a chance to survive.

What's more, because these refugees are really poor, they don't even need to pay for the boat ticket.

All you need to do is sign a contract and pay it back after Ying Tianfu introduces a job to the boatman.

Of course, this is not the kindness of the boatmen in Yangzhou.

It's because Yingtianfu's workshops and shops are very short of manpower.

Every time a worker is introduced, the boat owner will be paid a certain amount, which is much higher than the ticket price.

Therefore, shipowners in Yangzhou, Sizhou and other places introduced the northern refugees to Yingtianfu in Jinling one after another.

The air in the cabin was filthy, Zhao Min couldn't bear it...so he went to the deck to get some air.

There are really too many people on this ship, even on the deck there are many people, these refugees are talking about their life after arriving in Yingtian Mansion, as if they will have a new and better life in Yingtian Mansion.

The corner of Zhao Min's mouth showed sarcasm, "Daydreaming!"

Zhao Min, who was dressed in men's clothing, was different from these refugees. She spent real money on the boat ticket.

As the princess of Runan Wang Shaomin in the Yuan Dynasty, Min Min Temur's original name was naturally impossible to use again, so she changed her name to Zhao Min and started her own road of revenge.

Since leaving Bianliang, Zhao Min first went to Shandong, intending to assassinate the Ming general Qi Xiang, who was the chief general of the Ming army who killed his father Chahan Timur in the Battle of Qufu.

However, Qi Xiang, who had just been promoted to Marshal of the Shandong Marching Army, had many soldiers and horses and was heavily guarded. Zhao Min had been lurking in Jinan Mansion for more than two months, but he didn't find a chance.

Even, because of his own carelessness, he exposed a lot of possessions, which attracted the investigation of the Jinan government officials, and had to flee, so that he lost almost all the gold and silver.

When Zhao Min fled all the way south to Yangzhou, he bought a boat ticket with the remaining money and wanted to go to Yingtianfu in Jinling.

"Although my father died in battle at the hands of Ming army Qi Xiang, in the final analysis, Qi Xiang is just an ordinary general in the Ming army. The real masterminds are the rebel leaders Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han. If we can kill these two If you are a traitor, that is revenge, and it can be regarded as eradicating a great harm to the Dayuan court, maybe Dayuan can reverse the situation in the world!"

With this fantasy in mind, Zhao Min began to disguise herself as a man and went to Jinling Yingtian Mansion.

The ship traveled all the way south, and soon entered the Yangtze River along the canal, and then sailed, and entered the wharf outside Jinling Mansion.

When everyone disembarked, those refugees who owed the tickets on credit were taken away by the shipowner, and the boat passengers like Zhao Min, who paid for themselves, were naturally left alone and went wherever they liked.

Zhao Min followed the crowd and marched all the way towards Jinling Yingtian Mansion. Everything he saw along the way made Zhao Min more and more surprised.

Today's emerging Ming Dynasty can be described as extremely warlike!
No matter at sea or on land, Ming's army attacked from all directions. Zhao Min originally thought that this Ming's militarism was rampant, and the capital Yingtian Mansion must be full of dissatisfaction among the people, and the land would be dilapidated and desolate.

Unexpectedly, just the prosperity outside Yingtianfu City left Zhao Min stunned. It was even more prosperous and prosperous than the metropolis, and there was no sign of depression caused by militarism at all.

"Zhu thief, you really have some tricks to bluff the people in the south of the Yangtze River." Zhao Min naturally didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers were good people, and they were all classified as thieves. Peerless Dayuan confrontation.

Zhao Min followed the crowd and came to the gate of Yingtianfu.

Just as he was about to go in, he was suddenly stopped by the city guards.

"Stop! Who are you?"

With a yell, a guard came up to question Zhao Min.

Zhao Min's attire was out of tune with the refugees, which naturally aroused suspicion.

"Master Jun, I'm a scholar who came to the capital for an examination." Zhao Min said calmly, keeping his expression.

"Scholar? Where did the scholar come from?" Hearing this, the guard immediately felt relieved!
In today's Ming Dynasty, in addition to the original imperial examinations and new academic examinations, the Imperial Academy and Imperial College were restored not long ago.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict stating that all students in the world, regardless of their age, as long as they are loyal and obedient citizens, can go to the capital to take the examination.

All candidates admitted to Taixue or Guozijian can spend two years in the capital free of charge.

As soon as the conditions came out, many students and scholars from all over the world who were interested in the imperial examination but were not ready flocked to the capital to take the examination.

After all, the probability of being admitted to Taixue and Guozijian is much higher than the imperial examination, so it is naturally easier.

The teaching teachers of Taixue and Guozijian can help students improve their level and be able to pass the imperial examination more easily.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of Yingtianfu are not surprised by the Juren students from all over the country who have entered Nanjing forever.

The guards at the gate of Yingtianfu were no strangers to these students from all over the country.

After they saw that Zhao Min was a student from Henan, they let go of their vigilance, and after a simple investigation and verification of their identity, they let Zhao Min enter Yingtianfu City.

After entering Yingtianfu, Zhao Min saw that there were many shops on both sides of Yingtianfu city, and pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder.

"The wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed as the world says."

Looking at the shops lined up on both sides of the street, Zhao Min couldn't help expressing emotion in his heart. This scene of prosperity does not seem to be a military imperial capital at all, but a sense of peace and happiness.

The scene in Jinling City made Zhao Min curious about the talents of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers.

Such a prosperous scene, if one does not have the ability, it is simply impossible to manage Jinling so prosperously.

Zhao Min first arrived and found an inn to stay.

The waiter saw that he was dressed as a scholar, and immediately asked again, "The guest officer just came to Jinling, but to enroll in the Imperial College of Imperial College?"

"Yes." Zhao Min nodded.

"The guest officer came today at the right time. The Imperial Academy of the Imperial Academy will have a public class tomorrow. If you want to go, the villain can buy an account on your behalf and keep a good seat in the front row." The waiter said.

"What public class? What is this?" Zhao Min looked puzzled.

"Whether it's the Imperial Academy or Taixue, the professors and gentlemen there will give public lectures twice a month. Anyone who buys tickets can go in and listen to the lectures." The waiter said.

"What?! Selling classes publicly, this is simply insulting to the gentleman!" Zhao Min immediately angrily said.

Although she comes from a Mongolian general family, she has lived in the Central Plains since her grandfather's generation. Her father, Chahan Timur, is also a well-known scholar. The Confucian education Zhao Min received since she was a child can be described as honest. Naturally, she can't see such talents being sold as commodities. the behavior of.

Unexpectedly, the waiter in the shop was not surprised, and said: "Guest officer, what you said is that the rules set by the King of England can not only allow the professors of Taixue to earn more money to support their families, but also let the students know whether they are suitable or not." Go to study, it’s the best of both worlds.”

Zhao Min was even more curious when he heard that the waiter in the store spoke well, and even came up with two idioms.

"You said, this public lecture was set by you, oh, our Great Ming King?" Zhao Min asked.

The waiter in the shop was very proud when he heard it, and said: "Of course! Our Royal Highness, whether it is civil or military talent, or character, is a model of loyal ministers and good generals! Moreover, His Royal Highness often Go to Taixue to listen to the lectures of those professors and Confucians!"

"The king of England, Zhu Han, will also attend the class?" Zhao Min immediately caught this important information.

She already knew that now the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang went to the Huguang front where Chen Youliang was marching westward, and there was only one British king, Zhu Han, in Jinling City.

If you go to the Imperial Academy to attend lectures, it will be very beneficial for Zhao Min to assassinate Zhu Han.

Zhao Min stroked the sword on her waist. She was very confident in her sword skills.

As long as you can get within ten steps, you will definitely be able to get the dog's head of the traitor Zhu Hanzhuzi!

"That's right, His Royal Highness is a Wenqu star in the sky. He often goes to Taixue, guest officer, but do you want to go?"

Almost 100% of the students who come to Yingtianfu in the capital from other places will want to listen to the public lectures of the Imperial Academy. In addition to learning a lot of new things, they can also take the opportunity to socialize with many Imperial Academy professors or students from all over the world. people.

Every inn will also earn a lot of hard work fees.

Of course, Zhao Min would not miss this opportunity to avenge family hatred and national hatred.

She gave the child five taels of silver, and let herself buy a very expensive seat in the Taixue Open Class.

After everything was settled, Zhao Min had a simple dinner in the inn, and then walked to the street, ready to explore the terrain of Taixue, and make some preparations for himself to escape unscathed after assassinating Zhu Han.

When Zhao Min left the inn, the sky had already dimmed.

The entire Yingtianfu city was still buzzing with people, all the shops were open, and there were more men and women than during the day.

The cool night wind blowing on the street made Zhao Min feel very comfortable.

This kind of feeling would only be felt when his father, King Chahan Timur, was alive, and his father and daughter were wandering in the market.

Now she experienced this feeling in Yingtianfu City, which made Zhao Min's heart feel sore.

"Now my father is gone, and the Great Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed by these rebellious officials and thieves. Although I am a daughter, as long as I can kill the country's thieves to avenge my father and my father, my life will not be in vain!"

Walking on the street, Zhao Min secretly made up his mind.

She originally wanted to look around some dark corners in Yingtian Mansion, looking for some helpers like Dayuan Yizhong.

However, after wandering around, Zhao Min didn't notice anything.

For the people of Yingtian Mansion, Meng Yuan seemed to be a long time ago, and no one showed any signs of missing Da Yuan.

Even, on the stage of Yingtianfu Night Market, whenever the scene of "Zhu Longxing kills the Tartar Emperor at Hongze Lake" was staged, the people of Yingtianfu cheered happily.

Seeing this, Zhao Min was already angry and annoyed.

"These ungrateful rats, I rule the world with generosity and benevolence, why do they have no intention of being grateful at all."

The more Zhao Min thought about it, the more angry he became, so he went back to the inn directly to sleep.

On the next morning, under the guidance of the waiter in the shop, Zhao Min went out to the direction of the Imperial Academy.

Because of giving the shop assistant an extra twenty or five coins, Zhao Min got an excellent Ying Tianfu guide.

From the waiter in the shop, Zhao Min knew the difference between Guozijian and Taixue.

Guozijian belongs to the original Confucian classic Neo-Confucianism, which is basically in line with Tang and Song Confucianism, and belongs to the old school.

Taixue, on the other hand, teaches all new Confucianism, which is said to be new, but it is also very old, because it is the new learning of Confucianism that was enshrined by Confucius for thousands of years in Nankong.

"My lord, everyone knows how to be an official now. For example, His Royal Highness often goes to the Taixue class, but His Royal Highness has never been to the lectures given by the old scholars of the Imperial College. " said the waiter.

"So that's the case." Zhao Min responded casually.

In his heart, he hated Zhu Han, the big traitor.

"Confucius's Confucianism is the right way, and Lao Shizi's old-fashioned new learning must be something that the Zhu thief created to confuse people! Maybe it is the ghosts and gods of the White Lotus Sect!"

For Zhao Min's assassination of Zhu Han, he added another reason in his heart, to eliminate demons and defend the way, and defend the righteous way of Confucianism.

Just as the two of them were walking on the street, suddenly a loud sound of gongs and drums came from behind.

"Guardian guard of honor!"

"quiet!"

"avoid!"

Before Zhao Min knew what happened, he was dragged by the waiter to the corner of the street.

"Young master, the King of England is here, stand up quickly!"

Zhao Min immediately saw everyone on the street standing on both sides of the street.

"Don't you need to bow your head and kneel?" Zhao Min couldn't help being surprised.

According to the rules of the Yuan Dynasty, not to mention the emperor or the governor, even if Dalu Huachi from a certain state capital travels, the Han people on the road have to kneel and avoid it.

However, even though there was no need to kneel to avoid it, the honor guards of King Zhu Han were still on high alert, and the guards were quickly set up.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Min saw a group of guards of honor coming out from the corner of the street.

The first is a series of banners and guards of honor, namely "King of England", "Shang Shuling", "Prime Minister Zuo", "Governor of the Chinese Army", "Prince Taibao", "Pingzhang of Zhili Province", "Jinyi Qinjun" There are more than a dozen officials and titles such as Du Commander, Du Commander of the Model Pro-Army, Ying Tianfu Yin, etc., and there are guards of honor dozens of steps away.

Zhao Min's heart suddenly sank, and he thought to himself: "In such a big battle, even if you go to Taixue, I'm afraid it will be more closely guarded. With my sword, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed in the assassination."

It is very rare for Zhu Han to travel in such a grand manner today.

The people on the entire street also exclaimed after seeing the majestic scene today.

Such a grand guard of honor opened the eyes of the people of Yingtian Mansion.

"Your Highness, the common people are very happy with such a grand ceremony today." Said Lan Yu, the commander of the guards of the British Palace, riding a horse beside the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Han naturally saw the scene outside clearly.

"In the past two days, foreign envoys from Koryo, Japan, and Nanyang came to Hajj. The purpose is to create momentum and prevent these small foreign countries from looking down on Ming." Zhu Han said with a smile.

Although the current Ming Dynasty has not conquered the whole world, relying on the power of attacking from all directions, it has already terrified the surrounding small nations, and they are all rushing to pay tribute to Daming, lest Daming get angry, and send The soldiers killed themselves.

Especially Goryeo and Wa Kingdom Southern Dynasties, the two places where the Ming army was stationed, they should be even more careful.

Zhu Han is now supervising the country for his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, so he naturally wants to show his aura.

The majesty of the heavenly kingdom, which cannot be offended, will be brought back from these envoys to the various vassal states.

The guard of honor of Zhu Han and his party soon entered the Taixue.

The officials and instructors of the Taixue all came up to greet them, and Zhu Han waved his hands to let them stop sticking to etiquette. Anyway, this Taixue is all his own people, and there are no foreigners from other countries.

"Your official Tao Guangyi, see His Highness Jian Guo!"

As the head of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, Wanhu Tao Guangyi led the crowd to salute as before.

"Wan Hu, you've lost a lot of weight. It's a big deal to study new knowledge for Daming, but you can't be too tired." Zhu Han saw Tao Guangyi was dark and thin, and immediately helped him up and said.

Tao Guangyi, the No.1 'Wanhu' of Huaxia Aerospace Dream, because of Zhu Han's appreciation, can be said to have a prosperous official career, not only won the hereditary position of commanding Wanhu, but also became a He became the only person who was able to become an earl without military merit.

The merits of Wanhu are naturally a series of inventions and creations represented by the invention of military hot air balloons.

Now, under the recommendation of Zhu Han, he has become the head of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, and the leader of the "Scientific School" with the name of the new Confucianism.

However, as if by fate, Wan Hu became more fascinated with how to fly into the sky after flying the hot air balloon into the sky. He not only tried to make a bigger and more capable hot air balloon, but also tried to develop other flying tools.

Zhu Han knew very well how dangerous flying equipment other than hot air balloons were, so he had already sent guards to guard Wanhu strictly, not allowing him to take risks easily.

This is a once-in-a-thousand-year technological madman, and he must not be allowed to be in danger easily.

"What course is the main lecture today?" Zhu Han asked Tao Guangyi, Wanhu Tao Guangyi, the head of the Taixue Mountain, when the group entered the Taixue lobby.

"Reporting to Your Highness, what I'm talking about today is the 'Theory of Insufficiency of the Five Elements'!" said Wanhu Tao Guangyi.

"So it's this, very good, very good!" Zhu Han immediately became happy when he heard it.

There is a big shackle in the history of China's original technological development, and that is the Five Elements Theory that has been popular since the Spring and Autumn Period.

The so-called metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can be used to explain everything in the minds of many people, and even derived a set of self-justifying theories.

However, Zhu Han knows the original appearance of modern technology, not to mention the vast variety of compounds, the simple periodic table of elements is definitely not comprehensible by the simple five elements theory.

Therefore, after Zhu Han signed in and obtained a set of science and technology development encyclopedia, he learned it once, and then taught it to Wanhu Tao Guangyi and others, allowing them to understand and play by themselves.

Unexpectedly, in just one or two months, Wanhu Tao Guangyi has achieved such a great achievement, and he has already realized the absurdity of the Five Elements Theory.

Especially after Zhu Han simply listened to Tao Guangyi's understanding, he was even more pleasantly surprised.

"It seems that I have planted the seeds of modern science in the hearts of Ming people like Wanhu!" Zhu Han said in his heart.

"Okay, get ready to start class!" Zhu Han gave an order.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of Taixue was opened under the guard of the military guards, and a large number of students who had already received lecture tickets lined up to enter Taixue.

Zhao Min, who was mixed in the crowd, had already waited impatiently outside the gate of Taixue. Seeing that the gate finally opened, he followed everyone into the university compound.

But as soon as they entered the gate of the compound, the guards stopped everyone and asked them to keep all the swords and weapons they carried with them.

During the Yuan Dynasty, ordinary people were not allowed to travel with weapons, even scholars with fame were not allowed.

Now that the Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered students all over the country to wear swords at will. Among the six arts of a gentleman of Confucianism, both civil and military skills are naturally emphasized, so it is natural and reasonable for students to wear swords.
