The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 356 The Crying Brother

The avenue in Yingtianfu is very straight and wide.

like a straight line.

Fifteen horses can run side by side. The astonishing road seems to have no end in sight. The porches on both sides have various shops below, and the rich commodities have witnessed the abundance of productivity.

An ordinary carriage was driving.

An official was sitting in the carriage. He was in his thirties, the most prosperous age. It was the official ladder built by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It has been nearly 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

These officials in their thirties can be said to have grown up under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, read the books of Chinese sages, and understood the way of Chinese civilization.

The official's eyes were piercing.

Looking at the street scene through the car window, as if looking for something.

Deep in the straight road, there are many side streets.

Every distance, there will be a grand and beautiful archway, built with stones, the same as the bricks laid on the ground.

There are many houses behind the archway. Generally, there are three doors, the middle is the gate, and the rest are smaller, but extremely harmonious.

Excluding the suburbs, from the east gate of Yingtianfu to the north gate, you need a summer day and a good horse to do it.

Outside the door are neat trees, which look beautiful, bring vitality to the street, and provide people with shade.

in the house.

The walls were creamy white, looking like smooth white paper, and the floor was paved with large and flat ashlars.

The official saw a few acquaintances meet in the street, saluting each other and talking warmly, he looked away in satisfaction.

"Brother Sheng, you just like to watch these."

The coachman is the old servant of the family.

"Haha, these everyday things." The middle-aged official was very gentle, like a gentleman like jade.

But this is in the eyes of ordinary people. If those officials who are corrupt and violate the law meet him, they will turn pale with fright.

"It's our Daming."

"What's so strange about this?" The old coachman smiled. He watched his young master grow up.

The middle-aged official shook his head,
The whole street is extremely clean, to be precise, the whole city is very clean and hygienic, including public places.

There are tea stalls that provide people with tea, restaurants for eating, and the ground is very clean, including the horse-drawn carriages and mule carts that enter the city, and the livestock will be hung with dung bags.

The carriage left Yingtian Mansion and walked along this straight road. The flatness is the characteristic of this road.
Even through hillsides.

The roads are paved with bricks and stones, and when they meet rivers, there will be solid stone bridges to ensure people's passage.

"Big brother."

A young man who was studying saluted his elder brother who came home suddenly, and the middle-aged official helped his younger brother up.

"Do you have confidence in Ke Dao in the coming year?"

The young man smiled wryly, "I dare not compare myself to my brother."

The middle-aged official patted the young man on the shoulder, took him by the hand and entrusted him, "You don't have to be an official to study, you don't have to be an official if you can understand the principles of the world."

evening.

The two brothers talked at night while holding candles in the courtyard.

"I'm going to Peking."

"elder brother?"

The young man was in a hurry.

"Peking is not easy to go to."

Eldest brother is a censor, so when he went to Beiping, he had to inspect the place, but Beiping had a bad reputation, and young people didn't want his elder brother to take risks.

The middle-aged man said with a sullen face, "I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, and I supervise the Qingming of the world. There is no place in the world that I can't go to."

"Peking is the Peking of Ming Dynasty, so I can't go there anyway."

After being taught a lesson by his elder brother, the young man explained: "Yan Wangfu doesn't think so."

The middle-aged man sighed and did not continue to teach his brother a lesson.

That's why he made a sudden trip home.

The younger brother was also frightened.

He understood why his brother came home suddenly. This was his last words. The young man knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"elder brother."

The middle-aged man sat on the bench and touched his younger brother's shoulder, "I have been on business trips for many years, and I haven't seen you for a few years. You have grown up."

"elder brother."

The young man cried loudly on the lap of the middle-aged man, "I can't let someone else go, I have to go to Peiping."

"If I don't go, let others go. There is no such reason in the world." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Actually, I also want to visit Beiping."

The middle-aged man looked calm.

"I talked with Lian Zining. Beiping is very rich and the people are very peaceful. This tranquility should not be disturbed, but it should not be controlled by ambitious people."

"Brother Lian also runs a factory in Yingtianfu."

The young man looked for a reason.

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "Although Lian Zining is doing this, he said that the development speed is far slower than that of Beiping. He still hasn't figured out the reason."

The middle-aged man explained a lot to his younger brother.

It is nothing more than studying hard, learning more principles, establishing the way of being a human being, and not in vain of holy learning.

Early the next morning, the middle-aged man left home.

This time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate took action and arranged dozens of guards for the middle-aged man to meet outside Yingtian Mansion.

At the wharf outside Yingtian Mansion, dozens of guard soldiers, some wearing patched clothes, stayed blankly at the wharf where people came and went.

A boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old ran behind a veteran. The boy was very short with a relatively big head.

He bent his legs, picked up the water bag on the veteran's waist, and drank with his head raised. The veteran chatted with the rest of the people without moving, so as not to choke the children in the guard.

"When your son arrives in Peiping, don't run around and understand." The veteran then confessed, with a nervous expression on his face, "It's not a good job to go back to Peiping, and there will be trouble."

The baby's family is in bad luck.

His father died of illness at a young age, and his mother went to the city to sell the cloth she wove and disappeared.

Some people said that she ran away with someone by herself, while others said that she was abducted and saw her on a riverboat somewhere.

It is impossible to judge whether it is, but when viewed from a distance, the figure looks very similar, being hugged by someone.

No matter what it is, these honest guards and military households are helpless.

Wazi was the eldest in the family, and he took his father's place and came to the guard to be the main son. His younger brother who ate a lot of food in the guard became Yu Ding.

This is a hard job, but in the end it also gave the two brothers something to eat.

The 13-year-old boy doesn't care, and his heart is still full of curiosity about the world.

at last.

The people they were waiting for came, the officials were very kind, and they went north by tank boat.

On the canal near Damingfu in Kaifeng, their boat encountered the king's boat, flying the flag of King Yan, and the two boats passed by.

"That's weird, could it be that King Yan is sitting on the boat?"

The middle-aged official smiled when he heard the question in his ears. It seemed that his colleagues in the court had won. King Yan still didn't dare to act recklessly, and he had more confidence in his errand this time.

……

Zhu Gaochi arrived in Tianjin from Lushun by boat, but he didn't rush back. Instead, he stayed in Tianjin. No one could figure out what the little prince was thinking.

When Zhu Di left Peking, he left the power of Peking to Zhu Gaochi, including the Royal Guards.

The royal guards have no other functions, they are in charge of the "king" within ten steps.

Tianjin is getting more and more lively.

Not only is it supported by Peiping, but it has also become a transfer station for material exchanges between Jinzhou and Peiping, and it is also connected to the canal.

People's complexion is white and red, which is the same as most people in the mainland, which is a sign of health. Their hair is tied into a bun and covered with nets, and they wear various hats.

Although Beiping began to try to weave wool, and there was a lot of cheap wool in Beiping, southern textiles were still the mainstream.

Zhu Neng strode into the house where Zhu Gaochi lived temporarily, and brought the military situation in the north.

"The military-industrial joint office has learned from the familiar news that the hostile forces headed by Hari Wuhai are ready to move, and they will invade Daning Kaiping while the prince is leaving Beiping."

"Haci Wuhai?"

Zhu Gaochi thought of this Taiji who personally promoted his reputation to the utmost.

Prestige is everything.

This Taiji, who has been promoted by Peking for a long time, has a great reputation, not only famous in Peking, but also famous in the grassland.

Many believed that this man could lead them back to their former glory and reconquer the Central Plains.

After all, people in the Central Plains say that this person is powerful, and if this person can live well for such a long time, he must be someone with great ability.

"Okay, let's all come." Zhu Gaochi said softly.

"Haci Wuhai has been raised for so long, I don't know how many people he has attracted, so let's take advantage of the opportunity when he comes, and wipe out all those ambitious people, and restore the peace of the grassland and the Central Plains."

Zhu Neng looked at the little prince, waiting for his next order.

"How many people do you need?"

Zhu Gaochi asked back.

Zhu Neng couldn't help clenching his fists, "This subordinate has never led an army before." Zhu Neng finally gave up the impulse in his heart and said truthfully.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing, "The only one who led the army in Beiping is my father. There was also Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying, but he is no longer here."

This is the status quo in the North.

In the far west is the old general Song Sheng, who is in charge of stabilizing the western part of Ming Dynasty.

Then in the north, King Jin had led the army, but he had no credit, at most it could only be said that he had worked hard, not to mention that his former assistant general was no longer there.

Only Yan Wang Zhu Di, he is the generalissimo who led the army and never failed.

When Zhu Di left, except for Song Sheng in the west, there was no commander in the north who had led an army without defeat.

Zhu Gaochi can only choose handsome talents from the generals.

Chen Heng and Tang Yun had to stay in Beiping, and Zhu Gaochi dared to stay in Tianjin only if they controlled the guns in Beiping.

Qiu Fu wants to control Miyun and deter Kaiping and Daning with the Shixia Camp.

Zhang Yu is not yet able to use it with complete confidence.

Chen Xian needs to stabilize the three guards of Yanshan.

Fang Kuan wants to stay in Daning.

……

After counting and counting, the most suitable person at present is actually only Zhu Neng in front of him.

"Zhu Neng, I have seen your growth over the years. I have confidence in you, and you must also have confidence in yourself. When it is time to take responsibility, don't shirk responsibility."

"promise."

Zhu Neng clasped his hands into fists without any hesitation.

"The subordinates only need three battalions of new troops."

"Sure?"

"Sure." Zhu Neng said firmly: "There are too many soldiers, maybe they will scare them away. Only when there are few people, they will not hesitate. One battle will determine the world."

"it is good."

Zhu Gaochi clapped his hands together.

Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't be suspicious of people, if Zhu Neng will betray him, it is not Zhu Neng's reason, but his own reason.

The new army, Zhu Gaochi is going to hand over to Zhu Neng.

Professional things should be done by professional people, and the same is true for war.
