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

Chapter 379 Listen to the dragon chant!

After placing the ordering soldiers down to rest.

Zhu Di turned around with the imperial edict in his right hand.

The brothers glanced at the imperial edict in Zhu Di's hand, and instantly held their heads high and looked at Zhu Di excitedly.

That is, His Majesty is still alive.

This edict is still valid.

Your Majesty, a hundred years from now, everyone will not go all the way back to Beijing to serve just because of an imperial edict from the imperial court.

of course.

This time everyone is very willing.

First of all, returning to Beijing this time is to show everyone in the Ming Dynasty the power of the prince.

Tell the people in the world, don’t think about it anymore, the prince will have to endure and suffer any grievance!

Secondly, of course, it’s the return home.

Everyone came from the Ming Dynasty, and going back this time is a return to their hometown in glorious clothes.

Zhu Di looked around and said with a smile: "The imperial court's order has been issued. Let's prepare according to the plan we made before."

"Yes!"

The sonorous sound broke through the commander's tent and came out.

The soldiers on duty outside the commander's tent couldn't help but pursed their lips and secretly held the straps of the gun.

A group of people filed out of the handsome tent.

Tan Yuan and Yu Jing put their arms around Jiang Jinzhong's shoulders.

Jiang Jinzhong was caught in the middle after being killed by two people. He said angrily: "What do you want to do! You are going back to show off, but I have to guard my home in Dongfan. I am in a very bad mood now!"

Tan Yuan and Yu Jing looked at each other.

Yu Jing smiled cordially and said: "Old Jiang, even if you don't go back, it will be better than us going back. Looking at the world, who doesn't know that you, Old Jiang, are the great steward of the prince, and our Dongfan can build so well, under the prince, You are the one who deserves the most credit..."

Jiang Jinzhong knew this was flattery.

Still couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, slightly raising his head to look at the sky.

At a certain moment, the guard in his eyes flashed away, and he suddenly woke up. He looked to the left and right, and saw Tan Yuan and Yu Jing who were full of foxy smiles. He said angrily: "Don't say nice things. I'm telling you, don't even think about taking another coin from my pocket." !”

His damn superiority complex.

You can't always stand the praise of others.

Before, I had often been surrounded by such compliments that made me feel light-headed.

In a daze, he gave the money to Tan Yuan and Yu Jing.

Tan Yuan glanced at Yu Jing and put a little force on Jiang Jinzhong's shoulder, "Old Jiang, we all know that you and more than a dozen villages in Dongpan customized a batch of new military uniforms for us some time ago. Stop pretending. , You must be doing this because you want our brothers in the navy and army to wear the brand-new uniforms of our new army when they return to Beijing, showing the majesty of our new army and navy, and are about to set off. Isn’t it time to distribute them to the brothers? "

Yu Jing hurriedly smiled and promised: "Old Chiang, I promise that the brothers will not wear them during the voyage. Only when we reach the mouth of the Qinhuai River can we change into new military uniforms!"

Jiang Jinzhong glanced at the two of them with a smile and reminded: "The money I saved to buy you new military uniforms is something I finally saved. Don't let your brothers waste it."

"sure!"

"understand!"

Tan Yuan and Yu Jing nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Lao Jiang really had nothing to say.

As the prince's chief steward, the originally limited money was broken into two petals in order to assist the prince in building a large navy and a new army.

Cooperate with the local villages and communities in Dongpan to engage in breeding.

There are almost 3 people in the navy and army, but they can actually do it. They can eat pork and chicken every now and then.

Although the brothers don't talk about it on weekdays.

But we all know that Chiang Kai-shek also contributed a lot to the fact that the navy and land forces have the current combat effectiveness.

Now, in order for the brothers to wear new military uniforms when they return to the DPRK, we started preparations a year ago and saved money little by little to buy new military uniforms for the brothers.

……

There are too many little things like that.

……

Zhu Di stood at the door of the handsome tent and watched the three of them leaving arm in arm.

Smiling, he turned his head and looked at Xu Huizu: "Have all the arrangements in Min County been settled?"

Huizu also wants to go back.

Li Yu is about to give birth.

Moreover, this northern expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain experience and experience.

Huizu was old enough to go to war.

My brother-in-law must take him back with him to gain experience and experience.

"Get ready. Min County is now on the right track. Liu County Cheng has cooperated with me in setting up rural village communities in the past few years and has done his best to let him be in charge for a while so that he can be promoted in the future..."

Xu Huizu nodded with a smile.

It's not like he was cultivating direct descendants.

In the past few years, Liu Xiancheng has tried his best to cooperate with him in establishing a rural village community.

He has achieved such great political achievements.

We should also repay and give others a chance.

Just a simple thank you.

Otherwise, this county magistrate, who is over forty and has only passed the examination as a scholar, may have to go round and round in the position of county magistrate for the rest of his life.

Over the years, the other party has indeed gained a lot of experience in establishing rural village cooperatives and the construction of employee-owned shareholding systems.

The imperial court promoted him to county magistrate.

In no way is he better than those scholars who have just passed the Jinshi exam and have no practical experience at all.

As for how far the other party can go in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

He will no longer help the other party.

There will be no connection with the other party.

Even if the other party becomes corrupt, it has nothing to do with him.

Zhu Di nodded.

The Xu family's current status does not require forming cliques.

As long as you have the ability, real power is indispensable.

It was very appropriate for Huizu to arrange Liu County Cheng in this way.

As for Huizu’s abilities.

Although his intelligence can only be regarded as above average.

The key to victory is willingness to learn.

In recent years, rural village cooperatives have been doing very well in Min County.

Plus because of identity.

Training opportunities that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain are easy for Huizu.

Just like this, we marched north.

The enemy and ourselves are gathering hundreds of thousands, or even millions, in a battle. Being able to participate in it, although it is a bit dangerous, is very insightful.

Can ordinary people get this opportunity?

……

Zhu Di patted Xu Huizu on the shoulder and said, "Jinzhong has prepared a new army uniform for you. Yingxu and Zengshou will keep it for you. You can go find them to prepare it."

Xu Huizu smiled immediately and said impatiently: "Brother-in-law, then I'm going to try on clothes."

He has long wanted a new army uniform.

Before he finished speaking, he was already running away.

……

Three days later.

Two hundred naval warships, densely packed, were docked in the calm bay.

People were standing on both sides of the coast.

blah blah blah...

Neat steps sounded.

The people followed the sound and looked...

Soldiers from the Army's First Town, wearing separate military uniforms, carrying bright yellow military ranks on their shoulders and flying saucer hats on their heads, came on foot from the Army camp.

The blunderbuss sword was inserted into the fire blunderbuss. When the soldiers walked by, the bright sunshine reflected on the blunderbuss sword, making it look snow-white, rising and falling as the soldiers walked around.

"Hiss! This is the first town of our Dongfan Army!"

"Look, they're all wearing rifles!"

……

The people watched with wide eyes, laughed and talked, looking proud.

Zhu Di did not give the new long-barreled fire gun a name.

But as the Army's First Town continued to appear on Jilong Island, the people saw it more often, so they gave it the name Laifu Gun.

The origin of the rifle is also very simple.

First of all, this is the firecracker he invented after coming to Fujian.

Secondly, Laifu has a good meaning. I don’t know who first proposed this name, but it was quickly accepted by people.

It was the common people who called it this at first.

When the brothers heard it, they thought the name sounded good.

Over time, the military also called it this.

When the soldiers approached the dock, they stopped at attention.

Then, in units of battalions, they boarded naval warships one after another. The warships filled with soldiers left the dock in an orderly manner and gave up their positions.

Seeing such orderliness, the people were silent.

After the infantry soldiers boarded the ship.

One after another, yellow and orange cannons made of copper were slowly put on the ship while suspended on the gantry.

"The lord is here!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and the silent dock instantly boiled.

Everyone turned their heads together...

Zhu Di walked in the front, followed by Xiongying, Dongxu and a group of children.

The three civil and military squadrons followed in three groups.

"My lord, you are on your way to victory!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for a successful northern expedition!"

……

The people cheered.

Tan Yuan and others looked at the people one after another.

Then he looked at Zhu Di who was walking in front.

Zhu Di waved to the people, and for a moment, the entire bay boiled.

The generals who followed the return to the DPRK, together with their children, boarded the giant ship equipped with 160 cannons one after another.

Zhu Di looked at Jiang Jinzhong and others who wanted to stay.

Jiang Jinzhong took the bowl filled with wine from the person next to him and raised it to Zhu Di, "I wish the prince a great victory in this northern expedition!"

Zhu Di looked at the people behind Jiang Jinzhong.

Look at Jiang Jinzhong again.

Who would have thought that Fatty Jiang in Jiangning was a vain and formal person.

Now I can assist him in accomplishing such a great undertaking.

Over the years, Fatty Jiang has been working hard, and both he and Miao Yun have seen it.

Zhu Di took the wine bowl with a smile, "Brothers, Jinzhong, you have done a lot of credit for today's glory. You should have been allowed to go back with the brothers, but..."

Zhu Di is still talking.

Jiang Jinzhong couldn't help it anymore, and he was grinning from ear to ear.

Compared with the glory of returning to the imperial court and returning home in beautiful clothes.

He prefers to be praised by the prince.

Zhu Di stared helplessly, this fat man is good at everything, but he can't stand the praise, he shook his head, "Not much else to say, brothers will definitely live up to you. In the past few years, you have worked hard to break a copper plate into several petals. "

After saying this, Zhu Di drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Jinzhong smiled and took the empty bowl from Zhu Di's hand, "Ha!"My position in the heart of the prince has been established. Lao Xia, the little white lotus, can never waver again! '

Zhu Di didn't know what Jiang Jinzhong was thinking.

I just saw Fatty Jiang smiling so obscenely that I wanted to kick him.

Jiang Jinzhong took the lead, cupping his fists and shouting: "I respectfully send the prince off!"

"Farewell, Your Majesty!" "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to the lord!"

……

The voice spread from the generals and officials who stayed behind Jiang Jinzhong. After the people heard it, they followed one after another.

Soon, all the greetings gathered into one wave.

Breach the entire bay.

Zhu Di clasped his fists and gestured to the left and right, then turned around and boarded the flagship.

The pedal slowly retracted.

Zhu Di looked at the crowded coast and calmly ordered: "Yu Jing, give the order to set off!"

"As ordered!"

After Yu Jing loudly accepted the order.

woo woo woo...

Soon, the horn sounded.

The warships adjusted in the bay to make way for a passage. The flagship slowly started and sailed out of the passage. Behind the flagship, a formation of warships merged in.

The spectacular sight made the people on the shore feel excited.

"When my child grows up, I will let my child become a navy!"

"The Army is more prestigious. I want to send my children to join the Army!"

……

bang bang bang...

Just as the flagship sailed out of the bay, suddenly, the 160 artillery guns on both sides of the ship began to roar.

During the burst of fire, 160 artillery pieces fired one after another, and bursts of white smoke floated.

bang bang bang...

After the flagship fired its cannon, the formation of two hundred warships behind also started.

For a time, the entire bay was shrouded in gunfire.

All two hundred naval warships have been refitted with artillery.

The total number of artillery pieces is nearly [-].

In a short period of time, cannons were fired one after another, and the entire bay roared. At the same time, the battleship was completely shrouded in white smoke.

Smell the burning gunpowder.

Zhu Di was slightly taken aback.

This is not arranged by him.

But let's be honest.

Fifteen hundred artillery pieces, large and small, fired at the same time. It was so shocking!
Even the artillery is very backward.

Even though he had seen real 'fire coverage', he was still shocked at this moment.

The Dongfan Navy is definitely the most powerful naval force in this era!
Continuous fleets sailed out of the bay, which was still shrouded in smoke.

When the sea breeze blew, Zhu Di came back to his senses, turned his head, and immediately laughed angrily.

Yu Jing must have done this.

But now, this guy has a dull look on his face.

The same is true for Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu, Lu Zhen, and the children.

Zhu Di said angrily: "You did it yourself, are you scared yourself?"

Only then did everyone come back to their senses.

Yu Jing sneered, "Your Highness, after all the naval warships were refitted, this is the first time I have engaged in this kind of two hundred warships firing cannons at the same time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jing licked his face and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, let's have a live ammunition session?"

Live ammunition shooting is definitely more spectacular!
Zhu Di glared angrily, "Jin Zhong wishes he could break a copper plate into two flowers. You can be a human being! On the way north, we pass through Ryukyu and there are a few pirates to fight!"

"Yes!" Yu Jing loudly accepted the order excitedly.

His equipment.

Go north to fight pirates.

Four words to describe it: direct push!

Zhu Di left everyone behind and entered the cabin.

Everyone was no longer restrained.

Tan Yuan, Lu Zhen, Zhang Wu and others came to Yu Jing's side and said, "Old Yu, when you return to Jinling, you can do this again!"

Fifteen hundred artillery pieces fired on the Qinhuai River.

It must be particularly spectacular!

Yu Jing was booed by everyone.

There was also a look of eagerness in his eyes.

Of course he would.

But I was afraid of scaring the princes of the court.

Just now, he, the naval commander who often listened to the sound of artillery, was frightened by the spectacular sound of [-] artillery guns firing one after another, let alone the civil and military forces of North Korea and China.

……

Within the bay.

The smoke gradually dissipated.

Everyone looked at the warship in the distance, and when they came to their senses, they immediately became excited.

"Amazing!"

"Is this our Dongfan Navy?"

"With such a navy, our Dongfan team is the Dragon King of the sea!"

……

Jiang Jinzhong heard the people cheering excitedly, a smile appeared on his lips, and he whispered softly: "Your Majesty, this real dragon, finally rushed out of the bay with a dragon roar!"

……

Two days later.

Zhu Di arrived in Min County.

The cavalry Biaohe First Mixed Cavalry Battalion commanded by Zhou Lang has been training in Fujian.

Moreover, when the army goes north, it also needs to purchase military supplies in Fujian.

This time heading north, the navy and army plus accompanying personnel totaled nearly [-] people.

Every day people eat horse chews, the amount is astronomical.

But wait until Zhu Di arrives in Min'an Town.

More than 100 cargo ships from Maritime Merchant are ready.

The heavy supplies had already been prepared by Shen Zhi through Dayan Trading Company.

Fujian merchants, carrying some spices and other fresh gadgets brought back from outside, along with two cavalry and baggage, met with the naval fleet at the mouth of the Min River.

More than 300 cargo ships were under the watchful eyes of the people of Min County, the powerful Fujian gentry, and officials.

Heading north in a mighty way.

"This is too spectacular!"

"Going back like this, are you sure you won't scare the big shots in the court?"

……

Ye Mao, Shen Ren, Liu Sheng and other Fujian military and political officials stood at the front.

Listening to the powerful gentry and the common people talking in amazement.

Shen Ren said with emotion: "When the prince first came to Fujian, I never thought that in just a few years, the prince could accomplish such a big thing!"

Ye Mao glanced at Shen Ren from the corner of his eye.

Look back.

Why is he not.

"Brother Shen must have heard about His Majesty's southern tour of Fujian after the Northern Expedition, right?"

Shen Ren nodded.

The news has spread like wildfire.

Just not sure yet.

Ye Mao continued: "His Royal Highness is returning to the DPRK like this. Even if the news is false, His Majesty will definitely visit southern Fujian..."

The prince returned home with such great fanfare and rich clothes.

Your Majesty is not curious, what happened in Fujian and Dongfan?
Definitely curious!

Therefore, he concluded that as long as the prince returns to Aurous Hill, even if the news about the southern tour is false, it will become true.

"Your Majesty wants to fight a big war when he goes north. We should also fight a war in Fujian..."

He has decided to follow the prince.

His Majesty's southern tour.

Naturally, we want to show the most beautiful and prosperous side of Fujian to His Majesty.

Let your majesty take a look at Fujian under the rule of the prince!

Except for a few control villages where the gentry held shares, they remained unchanged.

Fujian rural village communities can continue to be improved.

He still has at least a year left.

As for the Fujian Dusi Mansion headed by Shen Ren.

There is plenty to do too.

Such as suppressing bandits!

There is also banditry in Fujian.

And not too small.

But in recent years, with the establishment of rural villages, more and more bandits have fled from the mountains.

Most of them were moved to Dongfan by the prince and resettled.

But there are also some old bandits who are accustomed to robbery, like to divide money on large scales, drink from large bowls and eat meat, and are unwilling to lay down their weapons and become good.

Regarding the banditry in Fujian.

The prince's idea is to first make the people of Fujian rich and at least have enough to eat.

With the cooperation of the people, the bandits will be suppressed.

Now is the time for rural village communities to be fully established.

After eliminating the bandits.

Not only will His Majesty's tour to the south help the prince, there will be no banditry, but it will also speed up the development of Fujian.

Banditry has become the last stubborn problem restricting the development of Fujian.

Just eliminate the banditry.

In one year, he is confident that Fujian will reach a higher level!

This requires the cooperation of the Fujian Dusi government headed by Shen Ren.

Shen Ren smiled and said: "No problem, we will formulate a detailed plan and strive to completely eliminate the banditry before the end of the year. Next year, you can rest assured to develop Fujian's economy!"

He is willing to help with this.

After the Fujian military and political parties headed by Shen Ren and Ye Mao reached an agreement.

Soon, Fujian launched a campaign to eradicate banditry, with the government and militia cooperating with each other.

……

half a month later.

The news that Zhu Di led his troops northward from Fujian by sea was sent back to Jinling by the Fujian Jinyiwei system.

"The King of Yan is heading north!"

"I heard that there are three hundred ships alone!"

"Can our Qinhuai River accommodate [-] warships?"

……

The people in Jinling immediately started talking about it.

at the same time.

Zhu Fang, King of Qin in Beiping, Zhu Fan, King of Jinyang, Zhu Ju, King of Zhou in Kaifeng, Zhu Zhen, King of Chu in Wuchang, Zhu Zhu, King of Qi in Qingzhou, and Zhu Zi, King of Tan in Changsha, all rushed to Jinling without stopping when they received orders from Zhu Yuanzhang.

I was afraid of missing the opportunity to watch Zhu Dihai's army return to the DPRK.

For a time, the entire Ming Dynasty was turbulent...
