The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

"Although Miyano Castle, Izuku City, and Dakou City have raised a lot of military horses in recent years, if they are to supply a large army, they may not be enough. Some military horses will need to be transferred from the country."

These places belonged to the Satsuma domain of the Edo period.

Some major places have changed their names, but most places still retain their local names due to inertia.

Much of the land in the southern area of ​​Chikushiduji was converted into pasture, and Jeju Island, which was taken from Goryeo, became a major overseas supplier of military horses after the Ming Dynasty's governance.

Regarding the war to conquer the Japanese country, the Ministry of War was very busy and had to take care of all aspects without making any mistakes.

"The journey of three generations living under one roof."

The Ministry of War official suddenly sighed.

This time, not only was the emperor personally on the expedition, but also King Gaoyang and His Highness the Crown Prince's second son, who were the third generation of their ancestors.

It's like a reincarnation.

When the emperor was still King of Yan, the eldest son sat in the center and the second son went to the side. This is still the case with His Highness the Crown Prince. Because there are precedents to follow, there is not much opposition from the court.

The imperial court mobilized troops, including soldiers from the border areas in addition to the Beijing camp.

Soldiers from the seven western provinces, the Saibei area, Nurgandusi and other places will definitely not be mobilized. In addition to being unaccustomed to the climate, the distance is also too far. The territory of the Ming Dynasty is very large.

Since the battlefield is in the Japanese country, the main ones mobilized must be southern soldiers.

Part of the Beijing camp, part of Nanyang, part of Fujian, Guangdong and other places, plus the army of Chikushiduji, the assistance of the Ryukyu Army, and the army of the Inu Kingdom, the final scale is expected to reach 500,000.

With the Ming Dynasty's national power, an army of half a million people must be aiming to destroy the country.

After spending hundreds of millions of dollars in supplies, the court was also concerned about how to recover the money as quickly as possible.

These major matters are a headache for the people above. Everyone has their own interests that they care about, and the same is true for the border areas.

Including Myanmar Dusi

"In the past few years, Myanmar's Xuanwei Department was in turmoil due to the long-term war. The original Xuanwei Envoy was overthrown by new forces, coupled with the invasion of surrounding forces. However, with the suppression of the rebellion by our Ming army, the Xuanwei Department Weisi was rebuilt and directly promoted to Dusi, becoming an important military stronghold of our Ming Dynasty in the southwest border."

In Chunhe Palace, Zhu Gaochi said slowly.

Behind superstition lies mystery.

The Japanese emperor always spoke in a sedan chair in the palace, using a singing-like tone to show his theocratic status.

In recent years, with the development of astronomy and other sciences, astronomers have discovered that there are no gods on the moon, but a sphere. Zhu Gaochi himself is not a pretentious person.

So the family sat at the dinner table like ordinary people.

The eldest son has his own children and grandchildren. The second son is not yet married. When he returns from Japan this time, it will be time to get married. The eldest daughter is married and is not in the palace.

The seventeen-year-old youngest went to the Imperial College to study. He was very interested in learning and had no ambition to pursue politics.

Guo Cailian, who is in her early forties, still has her charm, but her attention has shifted to her eldest grandson.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong listened quietly to their father's teachings.

In the Ming Dynasty's military reform, with the expansion of territory, decentralization of power in border areas was an inevitable trend. However, instead of setting up hereditary nobles like Yunnan, governors were established in the capitals in border areas.

Unlike the army in the mainland, which was commanded by the general, the governor of Dusi had greater power and influence.

They were not only responsible for directing local military operations, but also participated in administrative decision-making, and even exercised power on behalf of the emperor to a certain extent.

The 43-year-old rising star Zhao Hong served as the governor of Myanmar's Xuanwei Department. After returning from the capital, he stepped into the political forefront and became an important senior general of the Ming Empire.

Zhu Zhanji said worriedly: "The reputation of Governor Zhao is not good in the eyes of many people in the mainland. Some old scandals and controversies have been uncovered and even exaggerated in newspapers. This has caused people to talk about it and question his character. Harmony as a human being.”

Zhu Zhanji has never met Zhao Hong, but he knows the relationship between the Zhao family and his father.

Like outside rumors, Zhu Zhanji was also worried that his father would listen and believe in this suddenly rising general because of this reason.

Fifty-six years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, politics tended to be stable.

There are rules for selecting talents.

Zhu Gaochi was a little dissatisfied when he heard his son's suspicion.

In his early years, when Zhao Hong was in his hometown, he caused a sensation due to several disgraceful things.

These past events may not seem like much, but they are like a time bomb that may explode at any time. Although time has diluted people's memories of those events, those dusty past events have always lingered like a shadow in Zhao Hong's political career.

According to Zhu Gaochi's understanding, Zhao Hong has severed interest ties with his father-in-law and his family since returning to the capital.

Zhao Hong is not a heartless person, but he firmly believes that things should be done openly and in compliance with the rules. He did not give too much support to the requests of his wife and brothers, but treated them according to the principle of fair competition.

Zhao Hong explained his thoughts and did not hide it. In his opinion, if they have talent and strength, they can naturally stand out in a fair environment.

Zhu Gaochi recognized Zhao Hong's ideas very much.

Human nature is unavoidable. Zhu Gaochi is well aware that injustice and corruption are widespread in society, but Zhu Gaochi firmly believes that only through fair competition and strict compliance with rules can real talents be cultivated.

He scorns those who hold high positions but have no real talent and knowledge, and prefers to leave opportunities to ordinary people who work quietly and are talented.

Zhao Hong thought so too.

In the past few years since he returned, with this concept in mind, Zhao Hong worked hard in Myanmar's military affairs department and devoted himself to reorganizing the army, strengthening border defense, and promoting economic development and cultural exchanges.

According to Jin Yiwei's understanding, Zhao Hong not only encouraged the soldiers to learn cultural knowledge and improve their own quality to better perform their duties. At the same time, he also paid attention to people's livelihood, promoted internal reforms in Dusi, and strived to create a stable and prosperous environment for local people.

These drastic measures attracted the attention of the court.

Some ministers believed that he was a talented person with the courage and vision for reform and innovation. However, some people have doubts about his past experience and governance style, and are worried that he will have a negative impact on the local area.

In this context, Zhao Hong faces many challenges and opportunities. He needs to prove his ability and worth, not only to make the court trust him, but also to make the local people feel his kindness and care. Only in this way can he truly stabilize his position and bring long-term peace and stability to the southwestern border of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Gaochi understood that the root cause was that the officials were dissatisfied because of Zhao Hong's lack of care.

At the same level of competition, most second-generation people cannot compete with a large number of ordinary people.

The average quality of ordinary people is not as good as that of the second generation, but the base number is a hundred times or a thousand times higher. Only the geniuses who stand out can become epoch-making trendsetters.

Even the actor industry is filled with second-generation actors, so even if it is a bloody romance movie, it is obvious that handsome guys and beautiful women can attract people, but the result is that people can't watch it. The so-called handsome guys and beauties are really just like shit, not as eye-catching as internet celebrities.

It is easier said than done to get rid of the mud without being stained.

The Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau has been established for more than 30 years, and 25 years is one generation. It is already the second generation. In addition to the newly established people, the third generation has actually joined.

The network of relationships is so intricate that even Zhu Gaochi can see it.

So what if you can see it.

Isn't it the same for their royal family? Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and conflicts are inevitable in rivers and lakes.

There has never been a policy that is the foundation of all eternity.

Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu also had trouble escaping, but Zhao Hong came to the front desk by accident. He was not contaminated by the cause and effect and could be easily avoided.

Pity.

Because of too much opposition, Zhao Hong was not qualified to accompany the emperor on this personal expedition. Seeing his father's unhappy expression, Zhu Zhanji stopped talking about Zhao Hong. Zhu Zhanyong opened his mouth and finally said nothing. It is not good for him to speak for his eldest brother now, and it is not good for him to speak for his father. It is better to remain neutral.

Although Zhu Gaochi did not forcefully name Zhao Hong, he gave Zhao Hong some recommendation rights to participate in this personal expedition.

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Di looked at the queen's relics in trance.

"Under the leadership of the boss, our Ming Dynasty has gradually risen from the foundation of Peking and become the center of the world. The boss will not only be a great emperor, but also a sage king in history."

"You gave birth to a good son for us."

Zhu Di sighed to himself.

Confucius said: At sixty, the ears are smooth. I believe that my personal practice is mature and there is nothing objectionable about it.

Zhu Di's life has been smooth sailing. Although there were some twists and turns, they all passed through smoothly. He saw clearly, so he avoided unnecessary disputes with his eldest son over the years.

In fact, this is not in line with Zhu Di's temperament, but his son is so outstanding that even being a father is stressful.

Later generations cannot mention their father and son and call themselves the father of Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Di is also arrogant, and he will not give in easily.

Later generations should have the name of the eldest son Zhu Gaochi, and they should also have the name of Zhu Di.

Seventy years old, Zhu Di knew that his body and bones had been fighting in the north and south since he was young, and had been fighting for a lifetime. In addition, he had a serious illness a few years ago, which could be said to have damaged his vitality.

"This personal expedition to the Japanese country to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty is our last great achievement. I am old and can't run away anymore. You, wait for us underground, and I will blame you."

Zhu Di regained his composure, and when he walked out of the palace gate, his eyes were like a torch, and it was the Emperor Yongle who was praised by all nations again.

When we came to the platform and looked at the majestic palaces, we felt proud in our hearts.

This time, he took his second son and grandson on an expedition, with three generations traveling together. This scene did not symbolize the future and hope of the Ming Dynasty, just like the vibrant sun.

"Everywhere the sun and moon shine, and wherever rivers reach, are all Han lands."

Zhu Di laughed, how could the Ming Dynasty be inferior to the Han Dynasty?

Any place where the sun and moon shine and rivers flow through is the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"Wherever the sun and moon shine, it is the territory of our Ming Dynasty."

Isn’t that what the vassal-vassal system is like?

Zhu Di said without hesitation.

The historian beside him lit up his eyes and made a serious note.

A few days passed.

Zhu Di was wearing Wu Bian uniform and stared at the continuous army outside Peiping City.

Under the reflection of the morning sun, tens of thousands of soldiers, wearing armor, were shining with dazzling light, as if they were showing the majesty and power of the Ming Empire to the world.

Zhu Gaoxu's face remained as usual, while Zhu Zhanyong's face turned red with excitement.

His grandfather's eyes were deep and firm, as if he could penetrate all illusions and look directly at the essence of things. In Zhu Zhanyong's eyes, it was his grandfather who had conquered the world for the Ming Dynasty. He was wearing golden iron armor, a handsome helmet with red tassels on his head, a cloak on his shoulders, and hanging on his waist. Baojian's grandson's eyes were full of admiration.

My father is old-fashioned, but my grandfather is always full of energy.

He couldn't help but hold the reins tightly in his hand and the gun in the other hand. The heroic Zhu Zhanyong looked like the god of war descending.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his nephew on the side, and seemed to see the shadow of his own youth in his nephew. He and his eldest brother worked together in harmony, and hoped that the eldest brother's two sons could do the same.

Zhu Gaoxu took Zhu Zhanyong with him to inspect the army under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.

When the soldiers saw the prince and the emperor's grandson, they seemed to see the future and hope of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers' morale was like a rainbow, and their faces were filled with murderous intent.

Zhu Zhanyong did not dare to do anything wrong and followed his uncle closely on his horse.

The civil and military officials on the stage saw this scene.

"Ming dynasty."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his arms and shouted.

The soldiers responded in unison.

"mighty."

"Da Ming." Zhu Gaoxu continued to shout.

"mighty."

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted.

The people outside the stadium shouted loudly to cheer for their sons.

soon.

The Beijing camp took a train to leave the capital, to protect the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and to go out as usual to conquer the disobedience of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

An army of half a million is the largest in the world.

The mobilization of troops gathered in all directions.

But this time it was different. This was a cross-sea battle on an unprecedented scale.

The Yuanshu cross-sea expedition to Japan all ended in defeat. Although the situation is different from the past, the ministers did not dare to be careless. Not only did they mobilize a large number of ships, but the entire Ming Dynasty's naval power was also concentrated to ensure the smooth crossing of the sea. .

After several months of clearing away pirates, the local sea has gained unprecedented peace.

Thousands of ships continued to transport Ming soldiers.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty obtained Chikushi City in advance, as well as Jeju Island, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and various islands as supply points. When most of the army successfully arrived at Chikushi City, the people in the court breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is necessary to cross the sea to reach the mainland of Japan, the trench is much less difficult.

Soldiers were still coming across the sea in a steady stream, and Zhu Di had already arrived at Zhuzi Dusi. The King of Gonu Kingdom and domestic ministers had been waiting for a long time and came to Zhuzi Dusi in person to greet them.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The young king led many officials from the Dog Slave Kingdom and all knelt down on the ground to salute.

"No gift!"

Zhu Di raised his hand.

After the war is over, there will be no need for the Dog Slave Kingdom to exist.

Over the years, Ming Dynasty has supported the Gounu Kingdom and delivered too many benefits, which has been detrimental to Ming Dynasty in the long run. (End of chapter)
