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

Chapter 372: Overthrow the Yan Alliance, Zhu Di serves as military advisor!
It's approaching evening.

It was getting dark.

None of them could stop the lively discussions among the people.

Lu House.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng came out of the East Palace and came to Lu Mansion.

Lu's study room.

"Students pay their respects to the teacher."

After meeting Lu Ben, the two people hurriedly saluted.

"You have worked hard all the way, get up." Lu Ben smiled and helped the two of them up, sat them down, and poured tea for them himself.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng are not considered his students.

Their relationship is different from that between Zhu Silang and the children of Tuqiao Village.

When these two passed the imperial examination, he served as the Minister of Civil Affairs.

I found that the two of them had good talents and recommended them to the East Palace.

After going back and forth, the two of them called him their mentor.

It is similar to the teacher-student relationship between Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.

After Lu Ben sat back at the table, he asked with a smile: "How was it? This observation has touched you a lot. Today the entire Jinling City is talking about the strongest army in the world..."

snort!
Let's discuss!
He didn't believe it when there were too many comments like this.

The prince could not be wary.

No matter how powerful he Zhu Silang is.

Only [-] private soldiers and [-] warships.

The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, millions of troops, and billions of people.

As long as the prince is determined to solve Zhu Silang's hidden danger.

Zhu Silang must die!
Of course, after the death of Emperor Zhu.

By then, his grandson Yunwen had also grown up.

Yun Wen led the troops and destroyed Zhu Silang's forces and Zhu Silang's family. Only then could he relieve his hatred!
……

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng described in detail what they saw and heard.

Huang Zicheng said anxiously: "Master, Dongfan is a blessed land. Relying on sea trade in the future, I am afraid it will be richer than any other place in the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court cannot give such a blessed land to Zhu Silang. Dongfan should belong to the imperial court!" Zhu Silang's navy also owes its contribution to the imperial court..."

Lu Ben couldn't help but be amused.

Isn't this Huang Zicheng a little too naive?

All good things should be from Ming Dynasty?
Now I'm afraid Emperor Zhu has changed his mind and wants to recruit Zhu Silang's good friends to the court.

Zhu Silang would not agree easily!
Today, the situation has changed.

Zhu Silang is no longer the Zhu Silang of the ninth and tenth years of Hongwu.

This is not nonsense.

Take a look at Zhu Silang's work style in recent years.

Unabashedly domineering!
Li Shanchang once conducted an in-depth analysis of Zhu Silang's changes.

We came to a very shocking conclusion: Although Zhu Silang's domineering behavior was natural, it was also intentional. He wanted to show it to the world, especially to the court, from the emperor to the officials.

The purpose is to tell everyone: He has a temper and dares to turn against him!
It was the domineering Zhu Silang showed.

In these years, no one dared to shout or kill Zhu Silang anymore.

Even if there are some ideas, they are just discussed in secret.

Presumably, Emperor Zhu and the Crown Prince also clearly saw this change in Zhu Silang.

He would never rashly propose that Zhu Silang hand over power.

However, Huang Zicheng's enthusiasm could not be dampened, and he encouraged: "What do you want to do?"

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at each other, and the two stood up, "Teacher, we want to contact and develop an anti-Yan alliance between the DPRK and China. The purpose is to allow Zhu Silang to repay the imperial court's support for him in the future. If Zhu Silang is shameless and refuses to repay, This alliance will prompt the imperial court to force Zhu Silang to surrender. It is best to completely eradicate Zhu Silang and avoid future troubles..."

Lu Ben's eyes lit up slightly.

The anti-Yan alliance could only develop secretly during Emperor Zhu's reign.

At least, he now sees no signs of Emperor Zhu's attitude toward Zhu Silang deteriorating.

But after the prince ascended the throne, it was a different matter.

……

Even if the alliance defeats Yan, it cannot defeat Yan.

To him, the Lu family.

It also has many benefits for Yun Wen.

In the future, who can the anti-Yan alliance rely on in the government?
Grandson Zhu Xiongying?

This was brought up by Zhu Silang and his wife since he was five years old.

There is a high probability that Zhu Xiongying would not be so supercilious.

On the contrary, they will be very disgusted and even hate the Defiant Yan Alliance.

The anti-Yan alliance moved closer to Yun Wen.

Will Yunwen have greater influence in the court?

Maybe you can think about some things you dare not think about.

Lu Ben nodded slightly, "I support you in doing this, but you must not be in a hurry. Don't rush to develop the anti-Yan alliance in the court. First, develop like-minded people in the local area, among young officials like you and local officials... "

"By the way, merchants, gentry, and scholars can all develop..."

The bigger the alliance, the better.

Merchants have money.

Gentlemen and scholars are talented!
There is a shortage of generals!
correct!

A smile flashed across Lu Ben's lips.

He thought of someone.

Hu Weiyong!
Although Hu Weiyong was a civil servant.

But he has a close relationship with Huaixi Wuxun.

The Ming Dynasty was founded more than ten years ago.

There are Huaixi Wuxuns like Lan Yu and Muying who are developing more and more strongly.

There are also many people who are depressed and frustrated.

Just like Lawrence Lu!
These people used to be very close to Hu Weiyong.

Draw Hu Weiyong into the anti-Yan alliance.

He even let Hu Weiyong be the mastermind behind the alliance to overthrow Yan, which was extremely secretive and secretly developed.

In the future, when the prince ascends the throne and the time is right, the anti-Yan alliance of gentry, scholars, merchants, military generals, and officials will unite and continue to stir up trouble in front of the prince.

When the prince makes up his mind.

This power eradicated those in the court who had a good impression of Zhu Silang.

Then concentrate all the power of Ming Dynasty and launch a battle to destroy Yan!
"I think of a person who can help you with suggestions. As long as this person joins, you will be able to grow and develop rapidly while avoiding the supervision of Jin Yiwei..."

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng both asked: "Master, who is this?"

"Hu Weiyong!"

Huang Zicheng and the other two raised their eyebrows in surprise.

Hu asked: "Hu Weiyong is willing to join the anti-Yan alliance?"

This person is willing to participate, which is indeed a rare candidate.

This man is indeed very capable.

The previous showdown incident had avoided the supervision of Jin Yiwei.

In addition, Hu Weiyong and Zhu Silang failed to fight and have been dormant for these years. With their characters, they will definitely reflect and summarize.

Lu Ben vowed and said with a smile: "Yes! He hates Zhu Silang more than us!"

……

this night.

The night was very dark.

An anti-Yan alliance was secretly established.

……

Hongwu 14 years.

After three years of summing up experience, at Zhu Di's suggestion, Chief Envoy Ye Mao finally launched a wave of rural community construction throughout Fujian.

Across Fujian, more than 5000 villages that had not yet undergone rural village community transformation were fully rolled out at once.

Such a big movement caused shock in the world.

"After this year, all of Fujian will have completed the construction of rural villages, right?"

"Yes!" "We in Jinling are far behind. This year we have only completed the construction of rural villages in thirteen counties."

"Not everyone has the courage and governance ability of King Yan. Fujian's speed is easy to say, but it is not easy at all to do it!"

……

The big news in Fujian has attracted the attention of people all over the world.

After three years of rural community construction, rural communities were established in many places in the Ming Dynasty.

The surrounding villages that had established local village societies gradually became bolder under the influence of the news in Fujian, and began to take the initiative to observe and imitate them, and to establish local village societies.

For a time, there was a craze for establishing rural village communities in the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, Liu Bowen, the left prime minister, was worried that the atmosphere would be overheated, so he wrote to Zhu Di to seek his opinion.

On the one hand, it strictly ordered all states, prefectures and counties to collect statistics on the villages under their control that spontaneously established rural village communities.

On the one hand, a group of people were immediately transferred to form a rural village supervision team and sent to various parts of the country for observation and guidance.

Among them, there were gentry recommended by Zhu Di who participated in rural communities in Fujian.

There were also officials such as Fang Xiaoru, Sheng Yong, and Tie Xuan who were among the first batch of officials to participate in the construction of rural communities and performed outstandingly.

At the same time, a group of farmers like Uncle Yang who had successfully established rural village societies and performed well were recruited.

Request Zhu Yuanzhang to be canonized as an agricultural officer.

Let them follow the supervision team and go to various parts of the world.

As farmers, it is easier for them to quickly integrate into unfamiliar groups of common people than officials.

After some intense yet organized work.

This sudden and somewhat overheated wave of rural village communities has gradually returned to the right track.

……

This time Fujian comprehensive rural village community.

A large number of people who had completely lost their land migrated to Dongfan.

This time, there were a lot of people.

Back and forth, more than 4 people migrated.

The total population of Dongfan exceeds 12.

The development of Dongpan has entered a period of rapid development.

This time, in addition to recruiting a mixed soldier, Zhu Di only selected skilled carpenters, blacksmiths, masons and other craftsmen, and arranged to enter the Jilong Island firearms workshop, iron smelting workshop, and shipbuilding workshop.

All other young and strong people were used to develop Dongfan.

……

At the end of the 14th year of Hongwu.

The first town cavalry standard and the first mixed cavalry battalion followed Zhou Lang from Jilong Island to Fujian to receive three thousand war horses allocated by the imperial court.

Zhu Di didn't expect it either.

Lan Yu not only kept her word, but also requested a war horse from the court for him.

The imperial court directly and generously provided three thousand war horses.

One mark after another.

Plus the original war horse.

It’s almost like one person and two horses!

The cavalry will be trained on the spot in Fujian.

Zhu Di took Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu, Dongxu and others to start training the First Mixed Association Infantry Army on Jilong Island.

The first mixed association.

Compared to the first town.

slidely different.

Some tribal people were recruited from Palawan Island and Jilong Island.

This is Zhu Di's first attempt.

……

Time always passes very quickly.

In the 14th year of Hongwu's reign, he slipped away inadvertently.

Hongwu 15 years.

Zhu Xiongying is eight years old.

Zhu Di began to become cautious.

He also went uncharacteristically when traveling to Fujian, Jilong Island, and Palawan Island. He did not take the children with him and made excuses to let the children stay in Jilong Island throughout the year.

Except Xu Miaoyun noticed that Zhu Di was abnormal.

The children who were busy studying, practicing martial arts, and the art of war did not notice it.

……

At the end of the 15th year of Hongwu.

Jinling City.

"Did you hear that the envoy from Fujian Province has returned to the court to report on his duties?"

"I've heard about it a long time ago. I also know that the overall tax revenue in Fujian this year has increased by 100 million taels compared to before King Yan came to Fujian!"

"Hiss, 100 million taels?! Seriously?"

"It is absolutely true that the total tax revenue from sea trade in Fujian is 80 taels. After the establishment of rural villages in Fujian, the tax revenue from rural areas has increased by 20 taels! It is said that Ambassador Ye Bu stated in the DPRK that next year Fujian's fiscal and tax contribution will be Achieving stability and growth!”

……

Ye Mao returned to the court to report on his work.

The people of Jinling were excited.

Zhu Di went to Fujian for a few years.

Compared with before Zhu Di's death, Fujian's finance and taxation revenue from various taxes has actually increased by a million taels!

Haha ...

Royal Palace.

Hearty laughter came from the imperial study room.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang He who was returning from Liaodong, and Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng who were following Tang He, "Have you heard the discussions outside?"

Tang He smiled and held up his hands, "When I was waiting in Dengzhou, I heard that the people in Dengzhou were discussing how much Fujian's tax revenue could increase this year."

last year.

That is the end of the 14th year of Hongwu.

The total annual tax in Fujian increased by 80 yuan compared to before Shilang went to Fujian.

Last year has shocked the world.

However, 80 is not as shocking as one million.

In the past, Fujian's total annual tax revenue, converted into silver, fluctuated around 100 million.

In the past few years since Shiro went to Fujian, he has doubled the total taxes in Fujian.

This is not about exploiting the people!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "In the past, Fujian's tax was at the bottom of all provinces. Now, the tax of 200 million is directly close to [-]% of the total tax, and it has ranked among the top seven!"

Ye Mao said that there are currently two main factors that restrict Fujian's tax revenue.

[-]. A comprehensive rural village community has just been built.

[-]. Maritime trade has entered a bottleneck period. The shipbuilding industry cannot keep up. Maritime merchants cannot go further and export more goods.

"You can take your time in all of this. We will ask you to return to the court. The court has an extra 100 million taels every year. The Northern Expedition should take action..."

Before the imperial army set out for the northern expedition.

He hopes that Liaodong will drive out Liaoyang King Nahachu from Liaodong first!

In the future, Liaodong will leave a small number of troops for defense.

The imperial court went out on a large scale from Beiping, Shanxi and other places.

Various construction projects in Liaodong are too backward.

If Liaodong also goes to war.

For a time, the burden on the court was still too great.

While the Northern Expedition is in the preparation stage, it is best to deal with Liaodong first.

"Do you have the confidence? Do you want us to invite the fourth child back and go to Liaodong to provide you with military advice?"
