The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 388 Zhu Yuanzhang's Long-term Layout
Former episode.

The battle report of Beiping's defeat of tens of thousands of prairie cavalry did not alarm Ying Tianfu.

Compared with Zhu Di's forced surrender of 20 people a few years ago, it seems a bit insufficient.

In addition, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Southwest has used troops for many years, and has also achieved a lot of achievements, with hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn.

Only those who have been to Peking can feel the changes in Peking.

With words, many people only stay at the impression stage.

"Is King Yan imprisoned by the saint?"

Huang Zicheng asked excitedly.

"I don't know."

Wenhua Hall.

A group of officials discuss.

"It must be." Huang Zicheng affirmed: "The people on the street were also sent to inquire about it, and I haven't seen King Yan for two months."

"Furthermore, I heard from the clan mansion that King Yan has not returned since he was called into the palace two months ago."

"I guess the sage must have locked King Yan in the palace to prevent King Yan from escaping from Yingtian Mansion."

Many people agree with Huang Zicheng's statement.

"Shizi Yan is so ambitious that he dared to murder King Ning. Sima Zhao's heart can be seen at a glance. This son must not be left behind."

"The imperial court should send someone to Beiping to capture Prince Yan."

"With the strength of King Yan's Mansion, if he resists, it may be difficult to catch him back."

"It's better to resist, the court should raise troops to fight it."

Huang Zicheng said confidently.

"The sage loves his sons and grandchildren, and he is a bit embarrassed in his heart. We can't give others a chance to open things up."

"The Ministry of War has previously appointed the Liaodong General Soldier. I think the saint is also prepared."

Huang Zicheng looked at Qi Tai.

There was no general army in Liaodong before.

Historically, in the 30th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Yang Wen to take office in Liaodong, forming the Liaodong general army system, and there was a subsequent Liaodong general army position.

Through Hongwu's 30-year deeds, Zhu Yuanzhang probably leaned towards Zhu Yunqi, so there were various arrangements.

But now, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang still chose Zhu Yunqi.

It is not difficult to understand Huang Zicheng's excitement.

"Maybe it's to protect the King of Yan?" Qi Tai, an official of the Ministry of War, did not follow Huang Zicheng's thoughts, and directly poured cold water on him.

"how is this possible?"

Huang Zicheng turned pale and asked in a daze.

"King Yan has no power or authority in Yingtian Mansion, and any one night can kill him. Now that King Yan is in the inner courtyard of the palace, who can harm him?"

The Yao Guangxiao incident was concocted by some people from the emperor's grandson family.

People already knew that Yao Guangxiao was Zhu Di's running around in Yingtian Mansion, sending many confidential news for Zhu Di.

Since such an important person is in the hands of Jin Yiwei, the officials will naturally not let him go easily.

Some people contacted the officials of Jinyiwei and interrogated Yao Guangxiao, hoping to obtain evidence of King Yan's plot.

The courage has reached this point, so it is not impossible to deal with King Yan directly.

The cloud follows the dragon and the wind follows the tiger.

Zhu Di who left Peiping is like a tiger without claws.

"Then why did Grandpa Huang appoint the Liaodong General Soldier, and also sent generals to various places in Henan and Shanxi?" Zhu Yunwen was anxious.

The old King Qin of Shaanxi is dead, and the prestige of the second King Qin is not enough.

The king of Zhou in Henan devoted himself to herbal medicine.

It was Zhou Shizi who even entered the Daning Xie Shou in the former Henan Guard, which shows the current situation of the Zhou Palace.

Therefore, the situation in the two places requires the dispatch of special senior generals to stabilize the place.

"No one can guess the mind of a saint."

Qi Tai cupped his hands.

Inside the hall.

Everyone fell silent, frowning and thinking hard.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor.

Their power comes from the emperor, and although their influence is great and can shake the country, it is closely intertwined with imperial power.

For example Qi Tai.

He is a loyal man.

Not only loyal to the prince, but also more loyal to the current emperor.

"The grandson of the emperor is the crown prince of the country. The crown prince will ensure the stability of the country. This is the unshakable bottom line. It is for the people of the world." Huang Zicheng said righteously: "Masters, the saints, we need to work together."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng gratefully.

To him, this master is his most important right-hand man. Because of his deep trust in Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yunwen listens to Huang Zicheng in everything.

Those officials who disagreed with Huang Zicheng were all excluded from the line of the emperor's grandson, the most prominent representative being Minister of the Ministry of War Ruyu.

And the Ministry of War is an indispensable department, so Qi Tai's status in the emperor's grandson's line has been improved.

Qi Tai's qualifications are much weaker than Ru Yu, the backbone of the former Prince's family, and Huang Zicheng feels that he can overwhelm Qi Tai.

The same is true in history.

When making the decision to cut down the vassal, Qi Tai insisted on taking down Zhu Di with all his strength, while Huang Zicheng had to deal with the other vassal kings first.

In the end Huang Zicheng overwhelmed Qi Tai.

In the end, several people died because they scolded Zhu Di severely.

of course.

The means proposed by Qi Tai, such as transferring Zhu Di's personal guards from Beiping in the name of border defense, all these measures were indeed quite effective, leaving Zhu Di isolated and without help.

If it weren't for Huang Zicheng's core strategy of first making it easy and then making it difficult, which not only gave Zhu Di a breather, but also gave Zhu Di a chance to gain the support of the rest of the vassals, the ending might have been rewritten.

just now.

Qi Tai did not approve of Huang Zicheng's method.

He believes that the saint's heart should be strengthened, and the best way is for the saint to truly support the emperor's grandson.

Instead of a bottom-up approach, it is not only inefficient, but also a waste of time.

But Huang Zicheng's idea was approved by Zhu Yunqi.

Compared with Qi Tai's idea, Zhu Yunqi prefers Huang Zicheng's suggestion.

The fierce dispute in Wenhua Palace did not change the imperial city.

The East Pavilion of Huangji Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the memorials on the high platform, and Zhu Di read the memorials approved by Zhu Yuanzhang on the next table.

for two months.

Zhu Di went wherever Zhu Yuanzhang went.

The same is true in the bedroom.

Zhu Yuanzhang slept in the inner room, and Zhu Di slept in the outer room.

At the beginning, Zhu Di was still thinking wildly, sometimes excited, sometimes depressed, and finally thought of nothing.

From childhood to adulthood, this period was the longest time he spent with his father.

Even the eldest brother didn't have this kind of treatment.

When Zhu Di thought of this, he couldn't help feeling proud.

then.

None of their brothers envied the elder brother.

Father Huang seems to only have big brother in his eyes.

But slowly, Zhu Di began to feel sorry for his father. The old man was not in good health, and he couldn't see the road clearly and needed someone to help him.

When I go to sleep at night, my whole body hurts, especially the headache.

Only when there is no one around, Zhu Yuanzhang will show pain. These phenomena are all seen in Zhu Di's eyes.

this moment.

There is no emperor and no king of Yan.

Zhu Di personally served Zhu Yuanzhang.

He didn't have any extra thoughts, he just wanted to do the filial piety a son should have, and he also saw his father's emaciated appearance.

In my memory.

My father is so powerful, he has always been so strong.

"Peking Chief Secretary Yan Dun was transferred to Guangdong Chief Secretary as Zuo Chief Envoy."

"Ministry Minister Lian Zining, a third-rank official, will be promoted to a second rank, and will be sent to the right chief envoy of the Chief Secretary of Guangdong."

Zhu Di was stunned.

Why is Yan Dun's name on it?

Isn't he in Peking?

Couldn't help raising his head and glanced at his father, Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent as always.

"Ma Xuan was transferred to be the commander of the Shaanxi capital."

"Mao Sui was transferred to Shaanxi Capital Secretary Qianshi"

Seeing this, Zhu Di's heart sank.

These are rising stars in the military, generals who have grown up in the Ming Dynasty after the merits of the founding of the country faded.

Everyone has something to show for it.

Thinking of the personnel transfers I saw recently, it seemed like a big net had enveloped Beiping, forming a circle of encirclement.

Accumulate.

Father is accumulating strength.

Like the big case of sapphire, he planned and then acted.

Zhu Di stood up, endured his grief and came to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, let my son go back to Beiping, and end all this."

"Son." Zhu Di choked with sobs, he was extremely reluctant.

"Son... the son must bring the rebellious...rebellious son Zhu Gaochi to Yingtian Mansion." Zhu Di said with difficulty: "Leave it to the emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang got up.

Asked curiously: "Are you willing?"

"The son loved Chi'er as much as the father loved his elder brother." Zhu Di took a deep breath.

"Then why is it still like this?"

"Because of the father, the son is the son of the emperor."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily, out of breath with a smile, "cough...cough..."

"Father."

Zhu Di hurried forward to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang's back.

Only when you have seen and understood it in person, can you admire the hardworking spirit of the old man in front of you from the bottom of your heart.

"Look at those memorials again."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the memorials piled aside on his case table.

Zhu Di picked it up.

These are all the impeachment of Zhu Gaochi by the censor.

Or the impeachment of Peiping.

school.

army.

knowledge.

Hurt the people.

economic.

system.

There are various aspects of impeachment, including the remarks of the local gentry in Beiping, and the remarks of the squires and officials who have known Beiping.

"China is as big and as wide as the world."

"South orange and north trifoliate."

"Your son made a lot of noise in Beiping, and how many disturbances are hidden under the calm water."

"We can't see clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally said.

This old man is the most determined person in the world, from being illiterate to reading books all over the world.

And now.

He is lost.

Can't tell right from wrong.

The old man's eyes hardened.

There are some things he can't say.

At least not right now.

because.

He wanted to protect his good son in front of him.

He explained some things, then Zhu Di will have no way out in the future, and many people will definitely let him die.

And if he doesn't need to explain, then he doesn't need to explain.

Since ancient times, there has been no great change without bloodshed.

The world has changed without bloodshed.

Only Song.

Zhu Yuanzhang envied Song's civilization, but disgusted with Song's failure.

This is for the emperor who is good at summing up failures from history.

Just because he knows too much history and knowledge, and has read too many books, this emperor likes to reason with people the most.

For every civil servant and general around him, he likes to explain the truth in detail, even in the imperial decree, he likes to make long speeches, analyzing the cause and effect and various aspects that need attention.

For example, when knocking on the northern grasslands, Zhu Yuanzhang would say in the imperial edict why these people came, what their means were, how vigilant they needed to be, and how to deal with them.

And Peiping is a minister.

The world is more ministers.

Deny it anyway.

The officials of the imperial court are the representatives of the people in the world.

Because the landlord class controls the people.

They do not represent the interests of the people, but the people's perception of things is in their hands.

soon.

The emperor's grandson, representing Chao Gang, launched a fierce attack, firmly believing that Peiping's rebellion must arrest Prince Yan.

In Ying Tianfu's environment like a frying pan.

Those officials who are imitating the hard work of Beiping industry, but Ying Tianfu has not achieved much in the past two years.

It cannot be said that there were no results.

However, compared with the achievements in Peking, it seems insignificant, as if there were no achievements.

Zhu Yuanzhang quietly sent to Guangdong, allowing this group of people to avoid the whirlpool of the Central Plains.

Yan Dun, Lian Zining, Li Xueyan...

Zhu Yuanzhang is very good at this kind of thing, and his skills in early deployment far exceed ordinary people.
