Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 359 Zhu Di’s ambition: In the name of ideal, sweep across the world!

Powerful merchants on other warships also poured onto the deck from all parts of the warship.

hiss!
Witnessing with their own eyes, fifty warships lined up in half a stick of incense, they all exclaimed.

"Your boating skills are also very good, right?"

"This is not surprising. The foundation of this navy is originally composed of imperial navy and pirates. Especially this group of pirates, who have been fighting in the sea all year round, and those who survived are all good sailors!"

……

"It's so spectacular! Is this the magnificent sight of fifty warships arrayed to fight?"

"Why haven't you fired yet?"

"Yes, I can't wait to see the power of King Yan's new navy."

……

Flagship deck.

Everyone was staring directly at Zhu Di.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others looked at each other and stared eagerly. They had already seen Zhu Di in Wenzhi, Fujian.

This time I went to sea to see Zhu Silang's military strategy.

Although Jilong Island is the highlight.

But everyone can't wait any longer.

Now is a good opportunity to peek at the tip of the iceberg.

Ever since Yu Jing began to write letters, explaining the idea of ​​a large navy to his former colleagues in a flamboyant manner.

There were some bad rumors in Jinling City.

For example: King Zhu Di of Yan, if he rebels against the Ming Dynasty in the future, the navy will enter the Qinhuai River from the sea, and his troops will be directed towards Jinling Yunyun.

Everyone pays more attention to the first town of Dongfan Army.

However, I am also very curious about this new navy.

Is this navy really powerful enough to break through the blockade of the Ming Dynasty Navy, enter the Qinhuai River from the sea, and launch King Yan's army directly into Jinling City?

Perhaps, we can see a clue today.

……

Xu Miaoyun stood far away with the children.

All the children looked at Zhu Di with admiration.

They had no other ideas, they just wanted to see the scene where all the iron cannons on the warship were fired at the master's command.

This year on Jilong Island.

Commander Yu took everyone out to sea countless times, near some small islands and reefs northeast of Jilong Island, and asked everyone to issue orders and order the soldiers to practice artillery shooting.

They have all 'commanded' battleships.

But the only thing I have never seen is the master commanding a battleship.

Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua stood holding hands with Xu Miaoyun.

The two little guys are already three years old.

At the same time, she couldn't hold the two little ones anymore.

Xiao Qihua felt that the atmosphere was different and raised her head curiously, "Mom, why are you all looking at Dad?"

Xu Miaoyun lowered his head with a smile. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Yongming staring at Zhu Di in rapt attention. He couldn't help but smile and whispered: "I will give the order later and all the warships will fire."

With that said, she turned around and asked Mingxia for help, picking up the two little guys and covering their ears.

"Aunt Mingxia, I'm not afraid..."

When Mingxia tried to cover Xiao Yongming's ears, the little guy suddenly struggled and resisted.

The sound is a bit loud.

Everyone was alarmed.

They all looked at each other.

Zhu Di also looked back.

When Xiao Yongming saw Zhu Di looking at him, he immediately reached out to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled and warned everyone: "Everyone, look for something to hold on to. If the artillery fires, the hull will rise and fall violently."

While speaking, he walked quickly towards Xu Miaoyun.

He took Xiao Yongming from Mingxia's arms.

Then he looked at Xiao Qihua, "Would you like me to carry you to the boat?"

In the past, this little cotton-padded jacket was the most naughty and mischievous, and the brother and sister seemed to have turned against each other.

Qihua girls are naughty and mischievous.

On the contrary, the Yongming boy was polite and quiet all day long.

At this moment, the naughty little naughty egg hugged Xu Miaoyun's neck tightly with his two little hands, nestled in Xu Miaoyun's arms, and shook his head repeatedly.

Zhu Di smiled and carried Xiao Yongming to the side of the boat.

Everyone rolled their eyes helplessly.

Everyone was waiting to see fifty warships, all firing.

Zhu Silang was lucky, he suddenly started to be kind to his father and filial to his son!
'If you do this, don't blame everyone for silently sending you 'blessings' to you Zhu Silang. I pray that your Yong Ming will definitely be a debt collector in the future! '

"Your Highness, can we start?" Yu Jing was the most anxious. He approached Zhu Di and asked in a low voice.

But his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yongming, "Your Majesty, look out, this is our Dongfan Navy. You must inherit and develop this family business well in the future!" '

If it weren't for Xiao Yongming being too young now.

When taking the kids out on the water.

He must bring Xiao Yongming first.

Education should start from the baby!

In another four or five years, the prince will be seven or eight years old.

He had to train the prince to be a great naval madman.

Zhu Di glared at Yu Jing and turned to the others, "Everyone, grab what you can grab around you."

sounded.

Everyone was shocked immediately.

As for holding on to things around you.

In addition to Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and others, as well as Xu Miaoyun and her children who often take sea ships.

Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Yu Tongyuan, and Xu Da just calmly spread their feet slightly.

"Order!"

Snapped!
The moment Zhu Di's solemn voice sounded, Yu Jing instinctively stood at attention.

"The fleet's port artillery is ready!"

"Your Highness ordered the fleet's port artillery to prepare!"

"Your Highness ordered the fleet's port artillery to prepare!"

……

The sounds spread on the deck one after another.

Lan Yu noticed that the messenger standing on the tall mast began to wave the flag.

Immediately, each warship began to reply with flags.

Immediately afterwards, the decks of the warship they were on and other warships began to get busy.

The sailors came out carrying the wooden box.

There were gunpowder wrapped in oil paper and iron bullets two inches in diameter.

"Deck artillery loaded!"

"The cannon in the cabin is loaded!"

……

The sailor's reply came in an orderly and sonorous voice.

Immediately afterwards, each warship also began to reply with semaphores.

Zhu Di looked at the soldiers on the mast and kept passing the flag messages of each ship to him.

Until the soldier stopped, he immediately ordered: "Launch!"

The commanding officer suddenly stood on the mast and lowered his red commanding flag.

bang bang bang...

Immediately, a deafening explosion sounded.

The moment the projectile was launched, Lan Yu and others' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately reached out and grabbed the warship's railing.

The entire flagship was instantly pushed horizontally to starboard for several meters and shook violently.

Fifty warships opened fire on the port side at the same time, and 160 iron bullets rotated at high speed and were thrown towards the sea.

The moment of falling into the water.

Five hundred steps away, water jets suddenly splashed on the sea.

Everyone couldn't wait to open fire.

But when the fire started, everyone felt that the whole process happened in an instant.

The water column has fallen.

The warship was still bumping and shaking violently.

Every warship fell into extreme silence.

The soldiers looked proud and held their heads high.

The powerful merchants were staggering around. Some people did not listen to the advice and did not firmly hold on to the handrails beside them. They fell to pieces and struggled to get up in embarrassment.

"This! This! Is this King Yan's navy?"

"It's too scary. With such a navy, who among the four seas can be the enemy of King Yan?"

"You are right to follow King Yan! This time when we go to Jilong Island, we must buy a shop in Jilong Island. Making money is the second priority! Following King Yan is more important than making money!"

……

The merchants were discussing excitedly.

on the flagship.

Xiao Yongming held Zhu Di's neck tightly with both hands, and his big black eyes were still staring at the place where the projectile landed.

Zhu Di smiled and asked in a low voice: "Do you like it?"

Historically, the Ming Dynasty's finances were depleted by 'his' wars.

After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he first began to abandon the great voyage.

After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he abandoned Annan and most of the territory outside the Great Wall, and strode back into the Great Wall.

This is actually impossible.

It's not that they don't feel bad for selling their fields.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty could no longer sustain the consumption of these outward tentacles.

These tentacles extend far outside because they have not found a way to be self-sufficient or even profitable.

Not only can it not draw nutrients from the outside to feed back the Central Plains, the most fundamental land of the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, it is still devouring the few wealth in the Central Plains.

If these tentacles are not cut off, sooner or later, the Central Plains will be unable to withstand collapse.

……

It is different now.

As long as rural villages are built, Ming's commodities will be extremely prosperous.

It's okay to eat.

No matter how much there is, Daming will definitely be able to digest it internally.

But the mass-produced cotton textiles and silk fabrics produced in rural communities and rural areas are not so easy to digest.

Ultimately, if you don’t want the internal economy to collapse.

You can only go outside.

At that time, all the people, up and down, will ask the court to go out.

The conservative gentry who like to guard one-third of an acre of land will also support moving out.

If you don't go outside, the accumulated cotton and silk fabrics will be rolled up inside the Ming Dynasty and cannot be rolled at all.

The purpose of Western expansion is to plunder and seek wealth from outside.

The Central Plains culture is not so aggressive.

But the excessive economy will force everyone in Ming Dynasty to leave!

If you want to protect your economic interests, your martial ethics must be strong.

The eldest brother and Xiongying can completely use the excess output of the Central Plains to expand their territories north and west.

Of course, it is still unknown whether he will be able to talk about the matter between the eldest brother and Xiongying in the future.

However, Yong Ming is his son.

He can cultivate.

He also thought about the direction of the sea.

The ideal of rural village cooperatives + employee-employed shareholding system is a good excuse.

The Crusaders marched eastwards in the name of God.

Genghis Khan went on a killing spree in the name of the Immortal Heaven. '

Why can't he sweep across the world in the name of his ideal?
Of course, he might stop playing when he gets tired.

But he could emulate Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan injected "the name of the Immortal Heaven, killing on a large scale" into his sons.

He can also inject "the name of ideals, sweeping across the world" into the thoughts of his sons.

Let them continue to sweep across the world in the name of their ideals!
Let them ride on naval warships and command the army officers.

Integrate the Central Plains civilization into the name of ideals and spread it to further places!
If it can be done.

It will definitely be the largest expansion of the Central Plains civilization in history!
Of course, the premise is that he has a good relationship with his eldest brother.

His lineage has a good relationship with his eldest brother's lineage.

Therefore, when Lan Yu and his eldest brother Mu Ying wrote a letter to know about the status of his new army construction.

He directly invited them to come and observe.

When the observation group arrived, I showed it to them without reservation.

Frankness is the best effort he can make for this idea.

The rest is left to the efforts of my father, elder brother, officials in the court, gentry, merchants, and all the people in the Central Plains.

In fact, when he first came to Ming Dynasty, he never thought about this at all.

Get out of the central vortex.

I just want to live an ordinary, small and beautiful life.

The original idea of ​​establishing tax-paying auctions and rural village societies was to make ourselves and the fellow villagers live a better life.

Later, my father was tossing endlessly.

Step by step we have come to where we are now.

In the past, he took things one step at a time and passively responded to various changes.

Ever since his father hinted that his family was allowed to leave Daming.

And give him Dongfan and let him toss it around.

He just started planning.

He didn't tell anyone about these ideas.

Perhaps, Miaoyun noticed a clue.

For the first time, he took the initiative to design and plan for the future, and has been silently supporting him behind the scenes.

However, there are too many uncontrollable factors here.

They can only do their best.

leftover……

Zhu Di looked at Lan Yu and others from the corner of his eye.

He wanted to win over these people by completely letting go of everything and being honest with the viewing group.

Not to make them loyal to him, of course.

Rather, I hope that in the future they can become the mainstay in the Central Plains to support the cooperation between the two companies and jointly expand the Central Plains civilization to the maximum limit.

They hold high positions and support this tacit cooperation.They blocked the opposition from the Central Plains!

He couldn't make the decision in Ming Dynasty, so he could only plan like this.

He is not worried about Dongfan.

Anyone who dares to disobey him will be kicked out of the decision-making circle.

If it still doesn't work, eradicate it from the body.

In short, on his side, he is confident that he can manage it well.

He dared to kill as many as he thought were inconsistent with his pace and thoughts.

In just a short moment, Zhu Di thought a lot.

Xiao Yongming crawled into Zhu Di's arms, raised his head and looked at Zhu Di, "I like it."

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

Lan Yu and others stood nearby and were finally awakened by Yong Ming's childish voice.

Back to God.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other, both seeing horror and fear in each other's eyes.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others even turned pale.

The shock was too great.

It’s too shocking!

Artillery was also deployed in the Ming army.

Just not much.

These people, who stayed in the East Palace in the past, were also fortunate enough to see the East Palace guards leading the practice of using artillery.

But the shocking scene of nearly two hundred artillery pieces firing at the sea on a warship at the same time has never been seen before.

This should be just the tip of the iceberg of Zhu Silang's private army, right?

The observation group became even more silent.

A few simple compliments to Zhu Di.

Everyone made various excuses to return to the cabins assigned to them.

With a smile on her face, Yu Jing approached Zhu Di, glanced at Xiao Yong Ming first, and immediately grinned from ear to ear.

He heard what the prince said just now!
He is worthy of being the eldest son of His Highness.

Tiger father and tiger son!

But don't grow crooked.

"You're making my Yong Ming a little scared, so put it away!" Zhu Di's angry voice sounded.

hey-hey……

Yu Jing smiled sarcastically, reached out and touched Xiao Yongming's little head, and then took credit: "Your Highness, I didn't embarrass you, did I? Your investment in our navy was not wasted, right? Look at the shocked faces of my father and the others. Who would have known that this is just the beginning, the majesty of our navy can only be shown in battle..."

Now he can't wait to kidnap the observation group and go south to destroy the selected group of pirates!
snort!
Zhu Di snorted slightly, his face turned cold, "In front of the viewing group, put away your smugness and arrogance and let you show it. It is to express our honesty, not to let you attract hostility to me! Go tell your father, the Imperial Navy Shipbuilding Factory, you can send boatmen to our Jilongyu Shipyard to learn how to modify warships and install artillery on ships..."

At this time, Lan Yu and others must be talking about something that is not convenient for him to listen to.

It would be inappropriate for him to go.

Yu Jing is very suitable.

Yu Jing is a smart man, although he did not guess Zhu Di's deeper plan.

But he also understood what Zhu Di meant.

Take a deep look.

Snapped!
He stood at attention and beat his chest in salute, "In this humble position, please remember His Highness's teachings!"

After that, turn around and leave.

Walking further away, he turned around and glanced at Zhu Di secretly, muttering in a low voice: "If His Highness has reached this level, if the court cannot tolerate His Highness in the future..."

He was the first to say no!

Xu Miaoyun hugged Xiao Qihua and walked silently to Zhu Di. Looking at the ups and downs of the sea, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhu Di, "You have done everything you should do and can do, and leave the rest to me." Marquis Yongchang, Marquis Xiping and other people from the Central Plains court."

As he said that, he changed the topic and said with a smile: "Do you know what is the decision I have made the least regret in my life?"

Zhu Di came back to his senses, turned his head and asked with a smile: "What is it?"

Xu Miaoyun looked around to make sure there was no one there, then raised her head and said with a smile: "I'll marry you."

Zhu Di was immediately delighted, and all the messy worries disappeared instantly, and he teased: "Yong Ming and Qihua can understand!"

Yong Ming closed his eyes.

I don’t quite understand what I heard.

But, it seems like I shouldn’t listen.

Qihua didn't quite understand what she heard, but she understood her mother's eyes.

"Mom, you're such a bitch, so shameless!"

"Zhu Qihua, say it again!" Xu Miaoyun said in an angry voice.

"Mother is so shy and a bitch..."

……

Xu Da, Xu Huizu and others looked at the family of four on the other side of the ship, and they all couldn't help but smile...

……

inside the cabin.

Yu Jing stood far outside the cabin of his father, Lan Yu and others.

Just now, he saw Huang Zicheng and others entering.

So I chose to wait.

He couldn't help but get angry to prevent these scoundrels from speaking ill of His Highness.

It ruined His Highness's affairs.

……

"Marquis Yue Xi, can the imperial navy defeat King Yan's navy?"

In the narrow cabin, Huang Zicheng followed Fang Xiaoru and others into the cabin and couldn't wait to ask.

Sapphire frowned slightly.

glance.

Huang Zicheng's face was extremely pale.

He was obviously frightened by the surging martial virtue displayed by Zhu Laosi's navy.

This is just a glimpse of what others have shown.

I haven’t visited the Army’s First Town yet!
It is still too early to arrange the actual naval combat against bandits after the Spring Festival.

This group of scholars was already frightened into panic.

The navy's combat effectiveness must be demonstrated in actual combat!
These scholars are the most courageous!
"Why did the imperial navy attack King Yan's navy?" Lan Yu asked coldly: "What do you want to express! King Yan is your majesty's son and the prince's brother. You are in front of us to provoke the royal father and son, brothers and sisters. Feelings?"

Yu Tongyuan, Mu Ying, and Song Lian looked on with cold eyes.

Fang Xiaoru's lips moved slightly, wanting to explain to Huang Zicheng.

The words came to my lips and I was too lazy to say them.

This observation was indeed very shocking.

But Huang Zicheng's reaction was too much, as if, overnight, King Yan had become the prince's enemy.

You can't just want to kill someone just because they are powerful.

this thought...

He didn't even know what to say.

But he was certain that many people in the DPRK had similar thoughts to Huang Zicheng.

Perhaps, it was also because of his close relationship with Prince Yan and his wife.

Knowing this couple, I can look at this matter with a calm mind and a fair and objective view.

boom!
Seeing that Huang Zicheng didn't speak, Lan Yu was very angry and slammed the table, "Say it! Why don't you say it anymore!"

Huang Zicheng is a seventh-grade county magistrate.

Lan Yu, the Marquis of Yongchang, was full of energy, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Qi Tai bowed solemnly, "Yongchang Marquis, we are just worried. Ever since the news of the great navy came back to Jinling, there has been a wave of public opinion in Jinling..."

Muying listened to Qitai's polite explanation.

Very helpless.

Of course he had heard this statement.

The great navy of King Yan, together with the elite army of King Yan, can march straight into Jinling.

If King Yan is allowed to continue to win over people in the Ming Dynasty, as long as King Yan takes Jinling, he can rule the entire Ming Dynasty.

Such remarks are not widespread.

Obviously, even the people didn't believe it.

But Huang Zicheng and others were already worried.

Can't blame them either.

After all, they were also thinking about the prince.

But their suspicion will cause a gap between the prince and the fourth child!
"The King of Yan is so frank with us. What are you worried about? I can tell you with certainty that as long as the court says a word, the King of Yan is willing to teach the court their skills in modifying warships..."

Just now, they were discussing this matter with Marquis Yuesi.

The imperial navy was too weak.

Even if the imperial court cannot invest huge financial resources in developing the navy, it should learn from King Yan and modify and improve the original warships.

Just jog in small steps.

Huang Zicheng opened his mouth.

The words came to my lips and I swallowed them again.

It was appropriate to let Zhu Silang teach the court the modification techniques.

The court should also restrict Zhu Silang's navy.

Does Zhu Silang need two hundred warships?

Transferring the fifty now refitted ships to the imperial court is what Zhu Silang should do as his son and minister.

After all, Zhu Silang has achieved his current development, and the court has also given him a lot of support.

Is it normal for him to repay something in return?

However, it seems that not many of these people here support him.

This idea can only be discussed after returning to the DPRK.

There must be many people in the DPRK supporting him!
Boom boom boom!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Yu Jing, the commander of the navy under the humble command of King Yan, asks for an audience!" Yu Jing's cold voice sounded.

Lan Yu glared at Huang Zicheng fiercely.

He could tell from Yu Jing's voice.

Yu Jing must have heard some.

Yes, he was so loud just now when he was angry.

This cabin is not soundproof at all.

It doesn’t matter if people don’t want to hear it.

Fang Xiaoru received Lan Yu's signal and hurriedly turned around to open the door and made a gesture of invitation, "Tongzhi Yu, please."

"No." Yu Jing squeezed out a smile and looked at Yu Tongyuan, "Marquis Yue Xi, under the orders of His Highness, I am telling Marquis Yue Xi that if the court is willing, it can send boatmen to the Jilong Island Shipyard to learn warship modification technology. His Highness wants to send people back directly, but our Jilongyu Shipyard has too few manpower. If a group of people go back, Jilongyu will not be able to operate..."

Yu Tongyuan's lips twitched as he listened to Yu Jing's mouthfuls of Yue Sihou.

After Yu Jing finished speaking, he tried his best to smile and said, "I know! The imperial court is definitely willing to send boatmen to Jilong Island to study."

"Farewell to the humble post!"

Yu Jing strode away.

He didn't want to.

But this group of people went too far.

Do you really think His Highness has no temper?

After Mu Ying watched Yu Jing leave, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Huang Zicheng and others, "Have you seen King Yan's attitude? Next, when we get to Jilong Island, we will most likely see a lot more, which will shock us greatly. If any of you make some inappropriate remarks, don’t blame me and Marquis Yongchang for being rude!"

Huang Zicheng left in despair.

After Fang Xiaoru bowed, he led everyone away.

When there were only four people left in the room, Lan Yu looked at Yu Tongyuan and teased: "Old Yu, your Yu Jing has a personality!"

Haha ...

Hearty laughter rang out.

Even Song Lian couldn't help laughing.

The corners of Yu Tongyuan's lips twitched and he said with a smile: "Don't let him go home. Wait until he sends the prince back to Nanjing. As long as he goes home, I will have to do something in the family!"

So annoying.

He made it clear that he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and his father.

Lan Yu smiled.

There was a flash of worry in his eyes.

Yu Jing is not an exception.

It represents the attitude of Zhu Laosi’s subordinates.

They did not object to Zhu Laosi being good to the court.

But in the future, things like Huang Zicheng will happen more often.

Lord humiliate to death!

This group of people will never look at Daming and make Zhu Laosi suffer again and again!
Yu Jing is still like this.

People like Tan Yuan, commander of the first army town, and Zhang Wu, commander of Biao, have even weaker relations with the Ming Dynasty!

Perhaps they are grateful to His Majesty.

But I have absolutely no feelings for the prince!
Of course, he wasn't worried about these people.

As long as Zhu Laosi is here and Zhu Laosi's attitude towards the court remains unchanged, these people will not be able to make trouble.

But he is worried about North Korea.

There are too many people like Huang Zicheng.

Thinking about it, wasn't it the same for him back then?
……

The observation group was worried.

Two days later.

woo woo woo...

Horns sounded one after another.

Lan Yu and others vomited in confusion. When they heard the horn sound, they walked out of the cabin out of curiosity.

"what happened?"

"Did you meet pirates?"

……

Lan Yu walked out of the cabin and saw Yu Tongyuan for the first time.

After all, Yu Tongyuan was a naval general.

Even inland rivers and lakes cannot compare with the roughness of the sea.

But Yu Tongyuan adapted quickly and did not get seasick.

When he saw Lan Yu, he smiled and said, "We've arrived at Jilong Island. I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to come out."

Lan Yu and others looked in the direction of Yu Tongyuan's finger...

A tall watchtower.

Between two mountains.

A blue bay comes into view...

　Nearly seven thousand words!

　　Before, everyone has always said that this book lacks a main line, because at that time, according to the character setting, there was indeed not much ambition. After writing this, Zhu Di's first political ambition was finally revealed.

　　This chapter should be enough to satisfy everyone, right?Can you shamelessly ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions?

　　In terms of time, I should be able to write more than 4000 words for the next chapter, aiming for [-] words.
