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

Chapter 381 Integrating into Ming Dynasty, starting from Chinese New Year

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do anything. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have gotten Ma Xiuying's forgiveness so quickly. He just let him stay outside for a day, and then let him go back to Kunning Palace.

As for Zhu Yan, he escaped by luck, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything about him, as if it didn't exist.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, Zhu Biao hosted a banquet in honor of the ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang led the prince, concubines, and Zhu Han's family to dinner at Li Zhen in the imperial city.

In order to find the atmosphere of the New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately did not stay in the palace, but at Li Zhen's place. It was not a jade plate delicacy, but an ordinary household meal.

Although it is not particularly tall, it has a sense of family atmosphere.

As for Zhu Biao... he will represent Zhu Yuanzhang to feast the officials.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone eats together. This has formed a tradition in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a manifestation of the heart-to-heart relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Compared with previous years, this year's court is particularly lively, because Zhu Yuanzhang is not here, and everyone is very happy.

Moreover, Zhu Biao presided over the New Year's Eve banquet. Doesn't this mean that Zhu Biao is one step closer to succeeding Zhu Yuanzhang?Who can take Zhu Biao's place at that time?
Therefore, in order to leave a good impression on Zhu Biao, the happy courtiers persisted in persuading him to drink, and even came up with the routine of killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred, "I'll do whatever you want", and Zhu Biao was forced to drink. It's uncomfortable to be full of wine.

Later, Zhu Biao stopped drinking, and no one persuaded him to drink.

Time passed, Zhu Biao drove the courtiers away, and then rode to the place where the family reunion was held, full of wine, Zhu Biao was a little confused, but he still came to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, as well as his own Brothers, he also has to maintain the relationship with each other.

He drank too much wine, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to bring him a bowl of hangover soup, hot and sour. After Zhu Biao took two sips, he immediately felt much more comfortable physically and mentally. Xiang, eating with courtiers is torture.

Zhu Han looked at the uncomfortable Zhu Biao, and said with a smile: "Biaoer, you are so stupid, you don't want to drink, don't you know how to drink water? Couldn't the little eunuch beside you help?"

"This one……"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said to Zhu Han: "My father said that he didn't know how to drink before, but now he has practiced it. In the future, when I face courtiers, how can I use water instead? Let's drink first, and let's talk about alcohol first." .”

"You're so young, how can you practice alcohol? Let's talk about it after drinking until you're 20 years old."

Zhu Han didn't care about these things, Zhu Biao was only fourteen, and he drank too much alcohol, which could easily damage his health.

Zhu Biao was the successor of Ming Dynasty who was cultivated by Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang together. The last thing Zhu Han wanted to see was his untimely death, so he directly ordered Zhu Biao not to drink alcohol.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he had no opinion. He knew that the reason why Zhu Han valued Zhu Biao was not only because Zhu Biao was Zhu Han's nephew, but also because he was the heir of Ming Dynasty. Even Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Biao. Take care more, but sometimes when taking care of her, she is not as comprehensive as Zhu Han thought.

After dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang went back to the palace, and Zhu Han also returned to the Yingwang Mansion. Before leaving, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, do you want to go out to play after the New Year? Qiongzhou is developing, and Shen Wansan has been busy there for a long time. It’s been a year, so it should be working.”

Zhu Yuanzhang had also heard about what was going on in Qiongzhou. After hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a hard look and said, "I'm still going. Don't you think your sister-in-law knows what's going on in Qiongzhou? Go to Hongxiu to get a drink." Just passed, let's go to Qiongzhou again, can your sister-in-law let us go?"

makes sense.

Zhu Yuanzhang is an infatuated person. Although there are many women in the harem, those women are just tools for him to carry on the family line. When Zhu Yuanzhang does anything, he will first consider Ma Xiuying. This is his love for Ma Xiuying.

"Then shall I go by myself?"

Zhu Han wanted to go out to play, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused: "No, you have to stay with us, and you have to worship your ancestors. You are not allowed to go anywhere during the Chinese New Year. We still have a lot to say to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang: We can't go out to play, you still want to go out?

Stay in Yingtian and drink with us!

When Zhu Han heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he also knew that his plan to go out to play had failed. With Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, if he knew that Zhu Han ran out, he would definitely send someone to stop him.

……

The Chinese New Year is celebrated in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, and the Chinese New Year is also celebrated in the overseas territories of the Ming Dynasty.

Overseas soldiers will inevitably miss their relatives and hometown during the Chinese New Year, but before the Chinese New Year, almost all the generals of overseas territories have issued an order: If you want to stay, you can call your family members overseas, and the military will do it. Pick up and drop off, and resettlement fees will be paid. If you don't want to come, you can go home as long as you have been stationed overseas for five years.

This is definitely good news for soldiers coming overseas.

Overseas enclaves have large tracts of land, gold and silver all over the place, and family members now have settlement expenses... How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Many soldiers moved their minds and wrote letters to their families asking them to settle down overseas.

It was this move that made everyone's homesickness abate a lot. The general couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the morale of the soldiers under him regained. Some of the overseas lands of Ming Dynasty are relatively safe, but there are also many places where wars will break out. Or there will be wars in the future, because Ming Dynasty wants to keep expanding its territory, and it will inevitably lead to wars. If there is no army with qualified combat effectiveness, how can they fight?

Of course, these generals very much hope that the families of the soldiers will come overseas. On the one hand, if the family members are there, the soldiers will have less worries in their hearts, and they will work harder when fighting. After all, their families are behind them. To protect the family and fight for the family to get more wealth, so that the soldiers will be more motivated; on the other hand, Daming’s plan can be implemented. There are more and more Han people overseas, and Daming’s dominance overseas will be more stable.

Therefore, on the day of the Chinese New Year, the generals generously donated their money and made large-scale purchases. They almost sold out all the supplies on the Ming merchant ship. However, the merchants had already prepared for it. What is needed, especially the wine, is sufficient, enough to meet the needs of the soldiers.

The local aborigines, seeing the crazy purchases of the Ming soldiers, were also very curious about what happened. After asking, they found out that the people of the Ming Dynasty will have a festival called "Spring Festival". There will be new clothes to wear, and the younger generation can get money for paying New Year greetings to the elders.

Overseas aborigines heard about the New Year's festival in Ming Dynasty and thought about it... Isn't this the same as their Christmas?

Just after Christmas, is this another chance to celebrate Chinese New Year?
The aborigines overseas are also poor now, not even comparable to the people of Ming Dynasty, and they can only eat some delicious food during the festival, but their food is still very different from that of Ming Dynasty.

That being the case, why don't we celebrate the festival with Daming?

Thinking of this, the natives of Daming's overseas enclaves also started to take action, and even the heads of some of their families went to the Daming military camp, hoping that Daming could give some guidance in cooking, with full sincerity.

The generals of Ming Dynasty are not stupid, they have long been trying to assimilate the local aborigines as soon as possible, but the language barrier, the assimilation process has little effect, but now it is just a delicious meal, the effect of assimilation will be reflected immediately, which makes the generals feel unintentional Feeling like a willow tree.

What else to say, get it together immediately, wouldn't it be great for everyone to sing and dance?

……

Yinzhou, nightfall.

On an open field, under the illumination of seventy or eighty fires, it looks like daytime.

Hu Dahai, Mu Ying, Pingan, Kong Mingde, Zhou Deming and others stood in the distance and watched the people singing and dancing around the fire. They included soldiers from Ming Dynasty and local people. They are like a family now.

Eating barbecue, drinking wine, singing and dancing around the fire...

It was proposed by Kong Mingde that the aborigines in Yinzhou could also celebrate the Chinese New Year. At first, Hu Dahai didn’t believe it. He felt that the two sides who do not understand the language should first let them learn the language of the Han people, and then it will be convenient to manage. , As for the local aborigines... what are they, and they deserve to live the same year as the Han people?
Hu Dahai immediately rejected Kong Mingde's request, but Kong Mingde was not discouraged, but advised Hu Dahai again. De first finds a small group of people to conduct an experiment. If it is really beneficial to the Sinicization of the aborigines, he will take it a step further. If this has no effect, Kong Mingde will not be allowed to make any suggestions in the future, just work honestly.

Kong Mingde was full of confidence, and the final effect was presented in front of Hu Dahai, which made Hu Dahai sigh: "It is said that the warriors will conquer the world immediately, and the literati will dismount to rule the world. If I continue to use the old methods, it will be useless."

Sighing, he said to Mu Ying and Ping An: "The future is yours, and this Yinzhou is to be handed over to you."

Mu Ying and Ping An didn't believe a word of Hu Dahai's sigh. Hu Dahai stayed in Yinzhou, and he still shouldered the mission given to him by Zhu Han. If Hu Dahai couldn't complete the mission Zhu Han gave him, would he leave Yinzhou?

impossible!
After Hu Dahai goes back, he will definitely be reprimanded by Zhu Han, and he will not be able to return to Yinzhou by then?
As for Muying and Pingan...they received Zhu Yuanzhang's order, but they didn't implement it seriously, because there was nothing to implement. Zhu Han had his plan for the development of Yinzhou, and the infrastructure of Yinzhou in Zhu Han's plan Construction, even if it takes ten or 20 years, may not be completed.

Since the construction of Yinzhou will not be completed for a while, why worry about it?Mu Ying and Pingan are thinking about fighting all day long. The bigger the territory of Yinzhou is, the slower Hu Dahai's pace of building Yinzhou will be. Doesn't this complete the task assigned to them by Zhu Yuanzhang?

Mu Ying smiled and said to Hu Dahai: "Uncle Hu, it's a good thing that Kong Mingde can make the natives return to their hearts. Wouldn't they have more motivation to build Yinzhou? Isn't it your mission?"

"Where did Qiwu give me a task? Don't talk nonsense, kid."

Hu Dahai glared at Muying, and then said: "You two too, you keep everything from me, can I still harm you? I have been discussing this and that all day... Have you ever thought that if you fight like this again How much difficulty will it cause our logistics supply? How far is it between us and Daming? It will take half a year to send a supply. What if the logistics supply cannot keep up? Not only will the morale of the army be unstable, but it will also bring us There will also be turmoil among the conquered people at that time, and the mess will have to be cleaned up again."

Muying laughed when she heard it: "Uncle Hu, you are thinking too much. Uncle Qiwu said that all shortcomings will prompt us to try our best to improve, just like when we are generals, if we just blindly Lying on the laurels, we will lose motivation in the end. We must do everything possible to develop, which is beneficial to Daming. Look at the ships transporting materials. Isn’t it getting bigger every time? How much is it every time? Now It’s the time of expansion, we fight, and you take Kong Mingde to build and develop, isn’t that very reasonable?”

"Bastard!"

Hu Dahai wanted to kick Mu Ying, but he deftly dodged it. Hu Dahai scolded: "We are the generals!"

"But how long has it been since you went to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"

Mu Ying asked Hu Dahai back, Hu Dahai heard the words, and immediately shouted: "You don't know good people, if we continue to go to the battlefield, how can you make a contribution to Heping Baoer? You will laugh at me if you give you a chance? Believe it or not I lead troops into battle, but neither of you can drink soup?"

"Xinxinxin, we know that Uncle Hu is doing it for our own good."

Mu Ying nodded quickly, and then said to Hu Dahai: "So, Uncle Hu, leave the matter of expanding the territory to me and Brother Pingan, and you and Kong Mingde will build up Yinzhou. If we can increase the production of grain, can't other constructions keep up step by step? How much time will it take to build Yinzhou by relying on local support?"

Hu Dahai naturally knows that to build Yinzhou well, he must rely on the local advantages of Yinzhou. Hu Dahai was also anxious about the slow development of Yinzhou before, but today Kong Mingde's success in holding the New Year's event made Hu Dahai see Yinzhou Hope for accelerated development.

Sincerity is the nirvana.

Kong Mingde quickly brought the relationship between the Han people and the aborigines closer by organizing activities, and he will treat them as his own people in the future. How could they not be grateful?

Besides, the better Yinzhou is built, the better it will be for them. After all, no one wants to live in poverty, right?

"It seems that Kong Mingde is still useful."

Hu Dahai touched his chin, and decided to talk to Kong Mingde if he had the chance. If he had his own ideas about the development of Yinzhou, Hu Dahai would also be willing to give him some power.

Among other things, those scholars from the Ming Dynasty can be handed over to Kong Mingde for unified management. Hu Dahai only needs to supervise them so that they don't make trouble, and that's enough.
