my days with tyrants

Chapter 276

Huining.

Fort C in the reclamation area.

Of course, it must be castled, after all, even if it is not protected from those tribes' attacks, it must be protected from wild animals.

Huining in this era is really Siberian tigers running all over the ground and blind bears entering people's homes. So far, the biggest accidental casualties of Yang Feng's land reclamation team are all caused by these beasts...

Especially in winter.

"I didn't expect that I could live longer than him."

Standing on the rammed-earth city wall, Zhang Dingbian looked at the vast expanse of whiteness outside. In the freezing and snowy field of minus [-] degrees, there was still a Siberian tiger wandering around. They dare not come over in other seasons, but this season, the reclamation team basically did not. go out.On the contrary, there are some soybeans and sorghum left in the harvested farmland, so there are also many hares and the like. The beasts that can't find food in the mountains and forests often wander in these farmlands.

So far, the population of the reclamation area has exceeded [-].

Most of them are slaves.

After all, it is getting more and more difficult and costly to recruit reclamation team members in the mainland, but it is extremely cheap to go to North Korea to buy a slave, and it is even cheaper to buy a slave from the Japanese country.

With a population of 4, 40 mu have been reclaimed.

Although only soybean sorghum can be grown, it also makes the land look fertile, especially in autumn, it is really soybean sorghum all over the mountains and plains.Now that sweet potatoes and potatoes have been obtained, they can be grown here on a large scale. Those poor North Korean and Japanese slaves finally don't have to cook beans in salt water and eat sorghum noodles and steamed bread.

They can eat sweet potatoes.

Ambassador Yang has always cared for them in such meticulous ways.

Of course, the genuine employees have been eating rice shipped from the south and a small amount of wheat planted. Those merchant ships that went north to pull soybeans all went north with rice, which supplies the current 10,000+ soldiers and civilians of Huiningdu Command and Envoy.Moreover, thanks to the herdsmen, fishermen and hunters, milk is convenient and cheap, and the latter needs food and iron in exchange. The two sides have formed a good symbiotic relationship, and a farming, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting complex is gradually forming.Especially those shack dwellers in Northwest Jiangxi, or the old rebels, live quite comfortably here, and all the old men have learned to buy Korean and Japanese women, and they are rejuvenated here.

"Do you still have ambitions today?"

Yang Feng said.

"Even he is dead, what kind of ambitions can a half-buried man like me have.

Like the line you sang.

Right and wrong success or failure turned around, the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red several times. "

Zhang Dingbian said sadly.

Obviously, the death of his old opponent made his ideal disappear. He was nothing more than unwilling. Zhu Yuanzhang stood there like a sign, and then he rushed towards this sign.

Push him down.

but now……

The sign turned itself into dust.

He stood there blankly, looking at the already empty front.

ideal?

Gone!

"Half of it is buried in the ground, go back and recite your scriptures safely!"

Yang Feng patted his shoulder and said.

Almost at the same time, the watch on his wrist rang, and he quickly withdrew his hand and connected to Sister Liu under Zhang Dingbian's gaze...

"Your Royal Highness just asked me to notify you urgently that Zhu Yunqi escaped from the capital and is currently missing. The only thing I know is that he should be with Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng. They were dismissed by the new emperor and stayed in the capital before. But Zhu Yunwen disappeared. They also disappeared on the same day, she told you to return to the capital as soon as possible."

said the latter.

"Uh, does that make him run, too?"

Yang Feng said in astonishment.

In order to have an emergency contact tool, he left a watch for the little princess, Zhang Ying, and the green slave.

But it can only be contacted urgently. After all, he can't charge after he leaves, and he can't be contacted. He can only contact Sister Liu first, and then the latter will contact him.

"It is estimated that there are people with them. The princess said that it is likely to be Qi Tai. Qi Tai has not been dismissed from office, and he is still the Minister of the Ministry of War. If he cooperates, it will be easier for Zhu Yunqi to escape. Obviously Zhu Yuanzhang, the mountain who suppressed everything, did not After the death, the various forces in the Ming Dynasty did not think that the new emperor had the same ability as his grandfather. In addition, King Yan had made peace with King Su and rushed to the capital, and King Chu had also gone north to prepare to make peace with King Xiang in Wuchang first. Then we will go to Beijing together. The king of Zhou is also heading to Xi'an, it is said that he and the two kings of Qin and Jin will also go south on the Wuguan road, probably going to Wuchang, Her Royal Highness suspects that they may discuss something together."

Sister Liu said.

"What can they discuss? Join forces? Are they confident that they can defeat Sapphire? Or are they confident that they can defeat Shenji Battalion?
Without Zhu Di's participation, they would be a bunch of scum trampled by Sapphire. "

Yang Feng said.

In fact, this situation is inevitable.

The old Zhu’s coercion suddenly disappeared, and the new monarch’s various policies turned to rebellion and apostasy. It would be strange if no one wanted to make trouble. The civil servants were dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxi’s new ideas, and the clan was dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxi’s reforms...

He has decreed.

It was the previous design, either each feudal lord would receive a fief, and then live on the fief by himself.

If you earn more, you will be well-fed, and if you earn less, you will be thrifty.

Either go to Beijing to receive a salary as an apartment.

But each vassal has a fixed amount of money every year, and it will always be this amount in the future, no matter how many children and grandchildren there are. Bar!

That is, the army supports him.

But the problem is that the army supports him only because he is the legal heir. In fact, the army prefers King Yan. After all, the army recognizes military exploits, and King Yan is invincible. Surrender to everything.This is what the army really respects, and unlike Zhu Yunxi who likes new reforms, Zhu Di followed his father's way. In fact, it is more accurate to say that Zhu Di is better for hereditary generals.Zhu Yunxi was too deeply influenced by Yang Feng on this point, or he was aware of the corruption of the military household system in the future, so he did not agree with maintaining the current hereditary general system, and he was more inclined to carry out preventive reforms.

Of course, just tend to.

After all, he still needs the support of the army to succeed smoothly.

In short, it is hard to say that the emperor was unanimously welcomed by civil servants and generals.

but……

They dare not rebel.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor firmly controls the Shenji Camp.

This army has been regarded as his Imperial Forest Army since its establishment, which is enough to suppress all unrealistic fantasies, not to mention he still has Sapphire and Chang Sheng.

It doesn't matter whether they like him or not, they still don't like Zhu Yuanzhang.

They don't like much more.

They don't like Zhu Yunxi more than they dislike Zhu Yuanzhang, right?

They can kneel in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, trembling like elves serving the evil dragon. Of course, they can also kneel at Zhu Yunxi's feet, letting him trample on them wantonly. They are all very sensible people. As for now, it's no big deal. , the mountains on their bodies suddenly disappeared, and they felt relieved all of a sudden. They felt that they could run and jump, and it was just a little rebellious period. When Zhu Yunxie killed a few, he would learn to adapt to the new king.

This kind of thing is normal.

After all, they had been suppressed under Lao Zhu's shadow for 30 years, and suddenly they were liberated, and it was inevitable that they couldn't control themselves.

"You tell her, just look at things that have nothing to do with our family. What can these people do? A group of strong talkers will be hacked to death later, and they will all be submissive."

Yang Feng said.

Zhang Dingbian next to him was deeply convinced.

however……

half a month later.

"The strong talker you mentioned took Zhu Yunxuan to escape the court's pursuit and ran all the way to Jingzhou. Then, in front of nearly 10 people, he knelt in front of the Xiangwang Mansion, begging the Xiangwang to save him. Crying so much With tears in his eyes, he cried and told his brother that someone would frame him, imprison him, and plan to accuse him of another crime, and then give him poisoned wine.

The king of Xiang had no choice but to order someone to take him into the palace first.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunxi issued an order, asking the king of Xiang to send him back to the capital immediately.

But Zhu Yunwen continued to cry.

Moreover, rather than being sent back to the capital and being framed to death by his younger brother, it is better to throw himself into the river innocently. As long as the king of Xiang dares to send him back to the capital, he will jump into the Yangtze River halfway, so the king of Xiang had no choice but to say that he did not Dare to forcibly send him back to Beijing like this, Zhu Yunxie has ordered Song Zhong, the commander of Jin Yiwei, the guard of Shenji Battalion, to go to Jingzhou to bring back his brother. "

Sister Liu gloated and told Yang Feng who was hunting.

The latter is fighting the tiger...

"Playing so big? Why do I smell a hint of conspiracy?"

Ambassador Yang got off the tiger and wiped his hands like a scumbag who had vented his anger.

The poor tiger was twitching, bleeding from his mouth and nose.

The reclamation team next to him rushed to kill the tiger.

Feeling that there are too many ferocious beasts like tigers, bears and blind people nearby, it is easy to endanger the children, so the idle and boring Ambassador Yang took them to hunt around, and it was all for exercise. These days, there are a few Siberian tigers every day. Xiong Xiazi and the like were brutally beaten to death by him, and they were all beaten to death in such a way of hand-to-hand combat. The style of painting is quite brutal.

Instead, the reclamation team members can eat tiger meat.

"Indeed, this matter is being widely hyped among the people, especially in the south. There are even a large number of tabloid newspapers describing how the emperor framed his brother. And the king of Chu has already arrived in Wuchang. He played in Wuchang and said The emperor had better make a decree to make it known to the world so that the people in the world can understand that they are still brothers and sisters. As for the escape of the Guangze County King, it was only out of a misunderstanding. In addition, it is best to quickly make the Guangze County King a vassal, so that It can also make the latter feel at ease, after all, the funeral of Emperor Daxing is coming soon, and the spirit of Emperor Daxing cannot be disturbed.

I suspect that among these feudal lords, someone is manipulating behind the scenes, and Zhu Yunqi's escape was planned.

Especially to King Xiang.

He and Zhu Di had a very deep relationship, because at this time Zhu Yunxi was very dissatisfied with the King of Xiang, and he was the closest to the capital among the current vassal kings. In the next reform of the clan, he would definitely be the first to act.

So it depends on King Xiang.

He is very sensitive, don't forget that he committed suicide in history.

If he committed suicide because of this, it would be forced to death by Zhu Yunxi.

What would Zhu Di think?
What would the other princes think? "

Sister Liu said with a smile.

"Tell the princess, just go to the theater. This is not Zhu Yunxuan's business at all, but the vassal kings want to create an opportunity to fight against Zhu Yunxi together."

Yang Feng said.

"But now the four kings of Yan, Jin, Zhou, and Chu have been arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang in advance, and the rest is nothing more than a few. Well, there are indeed quite a few left. Qin, Shu, Xiangsuqing, Liaoning, Handai Gumin, and a dozen more. Old Zhu was able to give birth, and this is not considered a vassal. By the way, King Yan has already arrived in Lanzhou to reconcile with King Suqing on Wednesday. In addition, Liao Hanning and other kings have already entered the pass. They are reconciling in Beiping. Something is indeed wrong, they all have guards, although the number is definitely not many, but there are quite a few meetings.

What's more, they are all elite.

Zhu Di alone brought a thousand heavy cavalry guards, and another three thousand soldiers from various ministries who paid tribute together.

If they suddenly launched an attack and controlled Xi'an, Chang Sheng might not be able to suppress it.

He is too far from King Yan.

Zhu Di ordered in Xi'an, and the soldiers there would probably listen to him instead of Chang Sheng. "

Sister Liu said.

"So, let's just watch the show."

Yang Feng said.

But Zhu Di's real goal should not be to seize the throne, but to weaken his nephew's authority. However, it is also possible that he was in someone else's design. After all, it is impossible for Zhu Di to complete a conspiracy thousands of miles away in such a short period of time.

"Let the princess pay attention to King Xiang."

He said.

"You said he was playing tricks?"

Sister Liu said.

"He wants to stimulate Zhu Di, he wants Zhu Di to be the emperor, but Zhu Di already wants to quit, he probably deliberately did all this to stimulate Zhu Di, if Zhu Yunxi is really bad for him, it will probably anger Zhu Di."

Yang Feng said.

Zhu Bo is a bit paranoid...

He has no children, although it is said that two of his daughters died young, but so far there are no more. It is possible that he ate messy food and spoiled it. He is a monk, and there should be some people who secretly eat elixir, and there are no other brothers and sisters of the same mother. The closest relative is Zhu Di, and he is also the most supportive of Zhu Di as the emperor.But now that Zhu Di has chosen to quit and go to the Western Regions, it can be said that his closest relatives are almost far away from him, his father is dead, and he has no descendants. This kind of person will do things to extremes.

He doesn't care about dying.

If, as in the original history, the people Zhu Yunxi sent to take away Zhu Yunqi were a little bit disrespectful to him, and even a little misbehaving irritated him.

Zhu Di would really be enraged if he committed suicide in that tragic way.

"Damn, this is going to be a big deal."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, there was a sudden chaotic exclamation, and he quickly turned his head, and saw a tiger suddenly jumped out of the vegetation, and rushed towards old man Zhang who was still admiring the scenery.Old man Zhang also reacted, and dodged it the moment it fell, and at the same time his right fist slammed out, hitting just under the tiger's ear.This not-so-big tiger, with the impact of his fist, swung its head violently, then smashed hard on the ground, where it kicked its limbs and twitched, and soon blood came out of its nose.

"This old guy can really punch a tiger!"

Yang Feng exclaimed.

"What did you say?"

Sister Liu said.

"An old man in his 70s here just killed a tiger with one punch, although the tiger should be underage."

Yang Feng said.
