Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 351 Zhu Ying's Expectations! He has already mastered the rules!

"how?"

"The twelfth son, the seventeenth son."

"Why are you so reserved when you see your boss?"

"And Yunhuo, are you afraid your older brother will do something to you?"

Zhu Ying smiled and addressed the three of them.

As soon as these words fell.

All three of them looked at Zhu Ying with astonishment.

Obviously.

At that moment, they all had the same thought.

"Big...Big brother, could it be that...you've remembered?" Zhu Yunwen asked tentatively, with a hint of trepidation.

"Yunxun."

"I've suffered a lot from you these past years."

"I'm back."

Zhu Yingwen spoke gently to Zhu Yunwen, his face showing a kind of affection and concern.

For Zhu Ying.

Zhu Yunwen was his only younger brother.

They have been dealt with, suppressed, and humiliated by the Lü family for so many years.

Zhu Ying knew everything.

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yunwen's face lit up with excitement, followed by ecstasy.

finally.

Her eyes were filled with tears, which streamed down her face.

"Big brother."

"It's so good to see you back."

"That's wonderful," Zhu Yunwen said, her eyes filled with tears.

"All right."

"You're such a grown-up, why are you crying?"

"With me here, no one will bully you anymore."

"And the twelfth and the seventeenth."

"You promised to help me before, and now it's time for you to deliver on your promise." Zhu Ying smiled, his gentle gaze falling on the three of them.

When I was a child.

His closest friends were Zhu Bai and Zhu Quan.

They have a deep affection for each other.

Perhaps it was also due to being influenced by what they saw and heard.

Perhaps it's because we share similar interests.

Therefore, among Zhu Yuanzhang's many sons, these two were rare normal people, especially Zhu Bai, who also had courage and spirit.

in history.

Faced with Zhu Yunwen's policy of reducing the power of the princes and Zhu Yunwen's men coming to capture him, Zhu Bai was unwilling to become a prisoner, let alone disgrace the bloodline of his ancestor, so he resolutely set himself on fire.

This is truly a remarkable feat!
"Yongying."

"You're really back."

Zhu Bai said excitedly.

"That's great!" Zhu Quan nodded repeatedly, filled with excitement.

Although Zhu Ying's identity has been confirmed by multiple parties, it is impossible for it to be fake.

but.

For Zhu Quan and the others, if Zhu Ying does not regain his past memories, then he will not remember the feelings they once shared.

Even if you want to get close, you simply can't.

"Come on."

"Just like when we were kids, now that I'm your boss, you'll all work for me from now on."

"Don't think about the stupid things the second and fourth brothers did."

"They brought it on themselves."

"The road ahead is long, and I need true friends."

"So, I hope you can all help me."

"This is also why I asked you to stay in Yingtian," Zhu Ying said solemnly to the three of them.

"Yongying."

"Tell us what you want us to do."

"We will definitely help if we can do it," Zhu Bai and Zhu Quan said solemnly.

See this.

Zhu Ying did not hesitate.

He immediately stood up, waved his hand, and Xiao Han, who was waiting to the side, immediately understood.

Unfold the map that was hanging in the main hall.

When the map of the world was presented to the three of them, their eyes immediately fell on it.

"The world is vast, and my greatest wish is to extend the territory of the Ming Dynasty throughout the entire world."

"The twelfth son, the seventeenth son."

"And Yun-teng."

"I won't waste any more words. Now I have three paths for you to choose from, and all three paths are to help the Ming Dynasty expand its territory in the future," Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

The three of them looked at the map for a moment.

They all looked at Zhu Ying without hesitation and said, "Brother [Xiong Ying], just say it. If there is anything we can do for the Ming Dynasty, we will do our best."

"You've been in Yingtian for so long, you must know about the existence of royal properties and banks."

"Twelfth Brother, you used to be quite adept at business, money, and politics."

“Although Zhao Mian is currently the head of the bank, and with his experience as a minister, he can certainly handle things well, he is getting old and will eventually have to retire. Therefore, I hope you will go to Zhao Mian’s side as his deputy. After Zhao Mian retires, I will let you take charge of the Royal Bank and control the finances of the country.” Zhu Ying smiled and said to Zhu Bai.

Hear this.

Zhu Bai's eyes widened, a look of shock appearing on his face.

Obviously.

He hadn't expected Zhu Ying to trust him so much.

Banks!
The wealth and power of the world!
It's easy to imagine how powerful this right is.

Not only the banks in Yingtian Prefecture, but also the banks of the entire Ming Dynasty in the future will be under his control, which is a tremendous amount of power.

"U.A., are you...are you serious?"

"The head of this bank wields considerable power."

"It's too big," Zhu Bai said, somewhat shocked.

"Precisely because it is a large country, it is necessary to use truly loyal people."

"With your abilities, you are more than capable of managing it."

"You will first study under Zhao Mian. You will receive your salary as a prince, as well as the salary of your position as the bank's deputy."

"Twelfth Brother, do you dare to take on this important task?" Zhu Ying asked with a smile.

Hear this!

Zhu Bai bowed solemnly to Zhu Ying, saying, "If the Crown Prince trusts me, I will do my utmost."

See this.

Zhu Ying didn't waste any words.

He picked up the pen directly.

He picked up a blank imperial edict from the table, wrote down Zhu Bai's appointment, and affixed his personal imperial seal.

"The twelfth son."

"You can enter the bank with this edict in a moment." Zhu Ying picked up the edict and handed it to Zhu Bai.

"Your subject receives the imperial edict."

Zhu Bai immediately stepped forward and presented the imperial edict with both hands.

"Yongying."

"Then what can I do?" Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Ying with great anticipation.

"Xiao Han."

Zhu Ying shouted.

"Please give your orders, Your Highness," Xiao Han replied immediately.

"Go tell Liu Lei to bring out the finished composite bows, flintlock muskets, and red-coated cannons. They'll come with me to the Imperial Guard camp for testing later," Zhu Ying said.

"Your subordinate obeys." Xiao Han respectfully accepted the order.

He quickly went to relay the order.

Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Ying strangely, somewhat puzzled.

"I have many craftsmen in my household, and I have given them many design blueprints. They possess a great variety of powerful weapons. Once the entire army is armed, the fighting strength of my Ming army will increase immeasurably."

"And I want you, Seventeenth Brother, to be in charge of this workshop."

"I will take charge of the weapon manufacturing of my Great Ming Dynasty, and establish a military workshop," Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

"Weapons and firearms are controlled by the Ministry of Works. Do you intend to differentiate between them, Xiong Ying?" Zhu Quan thought for a moment and understood Zhu Ying's meaning.

"In the future, the Ministry of Works of the Six Ministries of the Ming Dynasty will have more to do, focusing on the basic construction of the Ming Dynasty, such as official roads, water conservancy, housing, and city walls."

"This military workshop will undoubtedly be one of the most important facilities in our Great Ming Dynasty in the future, and it also needs our own people."

"Seventeenth Brother, are you willing to take on this important task?" Zhu Ying asked in a deep voice.

"Although I don't know much about this, since you trust me so much, I certainly won't let you down," Zhu Quan said solemnly. Then, with a serious expression, he bowed deeply and said, "Your subject is willing to accept this important task."

See this.

Zhu Ying smiled with satisfaction, and immediately picked up his pen to write down the imperial edict appointing Zhu Quan once again.

The imperial edict was delivered to Zhu Quan.

"Big brother."

"Then what can I do?"

"Both my twelfth and seventeenth uncles are talented, but I am not."

Zhu Yunwen asked with a nervous tone.

They have been bullied by the Lü family for years, and it can be said that they have not learned anything.

He is neither good at literature nor at martial arts.

"I have just returned from the palace."

"I heard something from Father. He wants to arrange a marriage for you. You don't want to?" Zhu Ying asked Zhu Yunwen with a scrutinizing look.

Hear this.

Zhu Yunwen was startled. After gritting his teeth, he knelt down directly in front of Zhu Ying.

"Please grant my request, elder brother."

"Over the years, it has been Sister Yunyu who has been with me. Without her, I am afraid I would not have survived many years ago."

"Therefore, I, your humble servant, wish to marry Sister Yunyu; I will marry no one else but her." Zhu Yunwen bowed deeply to Zhu Ying.

"You should know that you are the eldest son of the Crown Prince, and you should also know that Yunyu is a palace maid."

“The difference in your social status is vast, like a chasm,” Zhu Ying said slowly, his expression calm and revealing no emotion.

"If my status is an obstacle, I am willing to give up my status as the eldest son and become a commoner," Zhu Yunwen said with unwavering determination, gritting his teeth.

You can tell.

He was indeed deeply in love with Yunyu, or rather, he had been dependent on her since childhood.

"Yunxun."

"Do not say silly things."

Zhu Bai and Zhu Quan's expressions changed, and they immediately spoke to Zhu Yunwen.

"The status of being the legitimate son is not something you can simply give up."

"but."

"I can make the decision for you in this matter."

“I can also speak to your father and the old man on your behalf,” Zhu Ying said slowly.

Hear this.

Zhu Yunwen said with a happy expression, "Thank you, elder brother. I am willing to do anything as long as I can marry Yunyu."

But Zhu Ying waved his hand and said, "Don't be too happy yet. Although I can make decisions for you, if you really want to win me over, I'm not enough. I want you to prove your ability, to prove that you can stand on your own without relying on your status as the eldest son of the royal family."

"Please speak plainly, elder brother."

"I am willing to do anything to marry Sister Yunyu," Zhu Yunwen said with a determined look.

"Go to Northern Xinjiang."

"I want you to start as a soldier, go to Daning, go to the border army, and be stationed in the northern frontier, the place closest to the Northern Yuan territory and the Tartar territory."

"Two years."

"Don't reveal your identity as the eldest son. I will give you an alias and let you join the army like an ordinary person."

"As long as you can persevere, I will grant you your wish to be with Yunyu."

"Let you marry me properly and enter into our family."

"Do you dare?" Zhu Ying stared at Zhu Yunwen and asked.

For any member of the royal family.

This choice.

Without a doubt, this is what hardship is.

And it's a two-year period.

There is also the need to remain anonymous and not rely on any identity for personal gain.

But Zhu Yunwen did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down: "Your subject is willing to go to the northern frontier."

"it is good."

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it."

"I will make arrangements for you in the next few days, so that you can become stronger first, and then I will send you to the northern frontier, to the Daning Border Army where I used to be."

"In the northern border region, you can see the real frontier and the real world."

"I hope you won't disappoint me." Zhu Ying nodded, quite pleased with Zhu Yunwen's unwavering choice.

Zhu Ying naturally wanted to give great importance to his younger brother, Zhu Yunwen.

In the future, when I conquer the world, in addition to the fierce generals of Huaixi like Lan Yu, I must also cultivate new and promising generals. If my younger brother is trained well, he will definitely be of great use.

"Someone is coming."

Zhu Ying shouted towards the outside of the hall.

Several royal guards quickly entered the main hall.

"Take my younger brother to Wang Weiying's camp and teach him body cultivation. Within five days, get him to the basics," Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Several guards respectfully accepted the order.

"Yunxun."

"These five days will be very painful for you, but as long as you get through them, these five days will become your capital for enlisting in the army in the northern border region."

"I hope you can make a name for yourself in the northern border region and prove yourself."

"As long as you can persevere, you will definitely be one of my right-hand men in the future," Zhu Ying said earnestly.

"Your Majesty, I will never let you down," Zhu Yunwen replied solemnly.

"Go."

Zhu Ying waved his hand.

Several guards led Zhu Yunwen toward the mansion's martial arts training ground.

After he left.

"Yongying."

"Wouldn't it be too hard for Yunhuo to go to the northern frontier?"

"And they have to hide their identities and start as soldiers?" Zhu Bai asked with some concern.

"I came from there back then too."

"If he wants to live according to his own ideas, then he must prove himself."

“Otherwise, if one relies on imperial power but also defies it, and is powerless to do so, it becomes a joke,” Zhu Ying said slowly.

These words were, in fact, a reflection of Zhu's own actions.

For Zhu Ying...

Even without relying on imperial power, he could still create his own kingdom in this world. His numerous technologies and personal strength were the foundation of his confidence.

Therefore, Zhu Ying could face his father and old man with confidence and without fear of anything.

It could even change the Ming Dynasty and gain their full support.

Because Zhu Ying himself is the rule.

But Zhu Yunwen lived within the rules; if he wanted to defy the rules, he would have to prove his worth.

This has been true throughout history, in every era.

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Bai fell silent, unsure of what to say.

At this moment!

"Your Highness."

"The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works have arrived."

"Waiting outside the hall."

"Also, I have already instructed Wang Wei to load the composite bows and other weapons onto the carts," Liu Lei reported respectfully as he strode over.

Hear this!

Zhu Ying nodded: "Please invite them in."

"Xiongying, should we leave for a moment?" Zhu Bai and Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Ying.

"No need."

Zhu Ying smiled.

Not a moment.

Several ministers dressed in official robes entered the hall.

"Your subject pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon their arrival, all the ministers bowed and paid their respects.

"Gentlemen, you may dispense with the formalities."

Zhu Ying smiled slightly and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness."
