Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Lu shook his head, "Since the observation group went to sea with Zhu Silang, no news has come back. My father also knows that Fujian and Dongfan are separated by a strait..."

In fact, she didn't know it before.

Ever since Zhu Silang went to Fujian and captured Dongfan.

Not just her.

The whole of Jinling knows that there is a strait between Fujian and Dongfan.

Zhu Silang's naval warship had to sail for two days to travel between the two places.

"I heard that now, in addition to Zhu Silang's navy, there are also merchants who cooperate with Dayan Trading Company when traveling between the two places. As long as these people leave Jilong Island, they will cooperate with Zhu Silang's navy and the so-called Army's First Town for strict inspections. Jinyiwei is very It’s hard to bring the news back…”

At a certain moment, Mrs. Lu suddenly lowered her voice. Although there was no one in the palace, she still looked around, "My daughter heard that Jinyiwei Qianhu Nozuna followed the trend to the island this time, just to find a way to develop Jinyiwei's spy on the island..."

Lu Ben frowned slightly.

What about establishing the Jinyiwei system on Dongfan Island?

The ships traveling between the two places are controlled by Zhu Silang.

It may be difficult to bring back the news from Dongfan.

This messaging channel is not easy to build.

In the past two years, Zhu Silang has closed Dongfan Island. What exactly has he done on the island and how has it developed?

I'm afraid we won't know until the observation group comes back.

…

Jinyiwei...

Every time someone mentioned this particular system to him.

He couldn't help but think of the things the other party had secretly helped him cover up.

At that time, he guessed that this person was most likely Jiang 𤩽.

But in the past few years, Jiang 𤩽 has never been in contact with him.

What does this person want to do?

…

It's approaching noon.

Luxurious carriages drove into the East Palace.

The Chang family, Lan family, and Lu family arrived one after another.

Then he was respectfully invited to the banquet hall by the maid of the East Palace.

Chang Mao was next to the Lan Chun brothers.

While waiting for Zhu Biao to arrive, he whispered: "Lan Chun, is there any news about uncle and the others?"

He just came back.

Since Feng Sheng faced a disaster, he was briefly arranged to take refuge in Uncle Tang's house.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Yuxi Zheng took him away.

Over the years, he has been eating sand in the northwest.

Feng Sheng's incident made him realize Zhu Silang's ruthlessness and unscrupulousness.

Although he never dared to be an enemy of Zhu Silang again.

But he has been paying attention to Zhu Silang.

Desperately wanting to see Zhu Silang suffer misfortune.

He didn't dare to provoke Zhu Silang. Zhu Silang was unlucky, so it was okay for him to applaud and cheer, right?

Unfortunately, this wish has never been realized.

After Zhu Silang rebounded from the trough of nine or ten years in Hongwu, his momentum has grown, and there seems to be no end to it.

Now, he has become the most special prince in the Ming Dynasty.

With 200 warships, His Majesty also allowed Zhu Silang to train 20,000 private soldiers.

The latest news he received was the shocking news that the observation group was observing in Fujian.

Since the observation group went to sea, no news has come back.

The Lan family may have inside information.

After all, Lan Yu is the person who leads the observation group.

What's more, Lan Chun and Geng Xuan are very close.

Geng Xuan made trouble for a village girl so that everyone in Jinling knew about it.

And this village girl happened to be Zhu Silang's student.

Lan Chun shook his head.

Chang Mao frowned slightly.

Just when he was about to speak, there was singing and cheering outside the hall.

"The prince has arrived!"

"The Crown Princess has arrived!"

"The concubine is here!"

"The king's servant has been chosen!"

…

The three members of Chang Lan and Lu's family who were discussing stopped instantly and stood up one after another. At the same time, they looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

Zhu Biao came in first with Zhu Yunwen in his arms and a smile.

When Lu Ben saw this scene, his face bloomed like a flower.

Zhu Xiongying was not here, and Zhu Yunxi was still an infant.

This is a clever time difference.

Let Yunwen have a special status in the heart of the prince!

Chang Lan's family looked a little unhappy, but they hid it well.

What kind of thing is the Lu family?

As long as Xiongying is here, nothing will happen to Zhu Yunwen!

Lan Yu had also written back to the two families before. In the letter, she praised Zhu Silang countless times for teaching Xiongying well.

There are already signs of Zhu Silang doing things.

Don't worry about everyone's attitude towards Zhu Silang.

They all have to admit it.

If Xiongying can learn Zhu Silang's five basic skills, he will definitely become an outstanding grandson of the emperor.

This is not the consensus of Chang Lan and his family.

In the court, many people said sarcastic things on the surface, but they all talked about it privately.

…

Mrs. Chang hugged Zhu Yunxi and walked slowly behind.

Following closely behind was Mrs. Lu, and Beauty Wang, who was holding the baby and supporting her big belly.

Zhu Biao and Chang sat side by side at the main seat, while Wang Meiren sat on both sides.

"Meet the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

The three families saluted.

Zhu Biao smiled and pressed his hands, "We are all members of our own family. There is no need to be formal. Tomorrow is the New Year's Day. I and the Crown Princess..."

As Zhu Biao finished speaking.

The luncheon begins.

After meal.

The Lu family left with Lu.

Chang Lan's family followed Chang's family and left.

Chang Mao deliberately delayed it until the end and followed Zhu Biao.

Zhu Binbin planned to go to the Hall of Beauty.

Today, the Crown Princess and the concubines are accompanied by their families. The beauty has given birth to a daughter for him and is pregnant with another one. However, no family members come to visit during the New Year. It must be uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" Zhu Biao drank a little too much at noon, was a little drunk, and his face was slightly red.

Chang Mao breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, I want to be transferred back..."

Lan Yu and Mu Ying are reorganizing and training the prince's guard.

It is said that it was organized according to the military training code compiled by Zhu Silang.

No matter whether he wants to admit it or not.

Nothing can change Zhu Silang's extremely high military talent and ability.

The prince's guard led Lan Yu and Mu Ying to reorganize and train again. After re-forming into an army, it will definitely be a strong army.

In the future, when my brother-in-law goes to the north to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, the prince's guard will have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Moreover, the battles that are easiest to fight and have the greatest results will definitely be assigned to the Crown Prince Guards.

Entering the crown prince's guard means countless achievements!

"Brother-in-law, I am a joke in the army now. No matter how hard I try, others only remember what I did in Liaodong..."

Zhu Biao's slightly frowned brow gradually relaxed.

It turns out that he learned from the pain and wanted to make a contribution to avenge his shame.

After pondering for a while, he nodded and said: "Yes, but I need to seek the opinions of Marquis Yongchang and Marquis Xiping on how to arrange the specific arrangements."

Chang Mao was laughed at by his lieutenants.

It's not good for him as a prince either.

Moreover, he was willing to give Chang Mao a chance if he repented.

Doesn’t the fourth child also give him a chance to increase his longevity and improve his mood?

He will not make a hasty decision as to what position to assign to Chang Mao.

Regarding the military, he had too little practical experience, so he delegated full power to Lan Yu and Mu Ying for military training. When he was in the military camp, he just regarded himself as a soldier, following the training and setting an example.

Therefore, he wanted to listen to Lan Yu and Mu Ying's suggestions on how to place Chang Mao.

Chang Mao was a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After all, being able to leave that miserable place in the northwest is more important than anything else!

Immediately, he patted his chest and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I promise not to disappoint brother-in-law!"

Zhu Biao nodded and told Chang Mao not to follow him, and walked to the Palace of Selected Ministers alone.

…

More than two years have passed.

As Wang Meiren gave birth to Zhu Biao's only daughter, she became pregnant again.

Wang Meiren's treatment is only slightly worse than that of the crown prince's concubine Lu.

Inside the palace courtyard.

There are maids and eunuchs waiting everywhere.

"Prince."

"Prince."

…

After Zhu Biao walked in, the maids and eunuchs saluted one after another.

Wang Meiren heard the commotion and when she came to the palace door, Zhu Biao had already walked in.

"Prince, why are you here?" Wang Meiren asked in surprise.

Zhu Biao sat down softly and asked with a smile: "Why, you are not happy to come here alone?"

"Of course I'm happy!"

She just felt that since both Chang Lan's family came to the East Palace, the prince should accompany them.

These two families are the most prominent relatives of the Ming Dynasty.

That’s it for the Chang family.

Except relying on the Crown Princess.

The crown prince's brothers are all incompetent and have average qualifications.

But the Lan family is different.

Sapphire is in his prime.

He is one of the leading figures in the future army.

The prince must win over him well.

Zhu Biao smiled as Wang Meiren analyzed it for him, "It doesn't matter. I already pay enough attention to Lan Yu on weekdays, and I can't get in the conversation with the princess and other women. On this occasion, your family is not here, so I'm here to accompany you." you."

Beauty Wang's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and then she understood Zhu Biao's intention of coming to her.

I was extremely happy.

While pouring Zhu Biao sobering tea, he smiled and asked curiously: "Prince, are King Yan's first army and navy very powerful?"

During this period, although she was pregnant, she was very lazy.

But I'm also paying attention to this matter.

Now Jinling is the first town of navy and army.

How exactly, but there is no news.

She was inexplicably worried for the prince.

Zhu Silang's soldiers are too powerful. Like some remarks in Jinling, once Zhu Silang rebels, he can directly land in Jinling.

Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head, "After Yongchang Hou and others went to sea, no news came back. We may have to wait for the observation group to come back. After the Spring Festival, they will go to observe the fourth brother's navy to suppress bandits..."

He couldn't wait to know what Lao Si's No. 1 Army Town was like.

Is there anything worth learning about the prince's guard rate?

…

Jilong Island.

Zhu Di's study.

The study door is closed.

Although it was daytime, the room was still slightly dark.

Mao Laoliu stood in front of Zhu Di's writing case and said, "Master, our people discovered that Ji Gang has established three Jinyiwei strongholds on the island. One of them is in the powerful Liu family business house in Fujian. However, according to the investigation, it is the shopkeeper of the Liu family. As the Liu family secretly took refuge in Jinyiwei, the Liu family did not know about it. The other two places were located in the resettlement sites from Fujian in the second half of this year..."

The young master Qian warned and warned him strictly not to develop military intelligence personnel in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking back at the imperial court.

At the beginning, Jin Yiwei's tentacles reached out to Jilong Island.

So unauthentic!

"It can be seen from the Jinyiwei stronghold in the resettlement site that, as the young master speculated, Ji Gang arrived in Fujian early and has been operating secretly in Fujian."

This time Ji Gang followed the observation group to the island.

I personally straightened out the Jinyiwei stronghold on the island.

Form a complete intelligence chain.

Ji Gang is capable.

It's just very ambitious.

He saw this at the beginning, so he gave it a serious blow by rectifying the Northern Jinyiwei system.

Originally, I wanted Ji Gang to reflect and learn lessons.

Initially, I wanted to train Ji Gang.

Unexpectedly, Ji Gang didn't reflect at all. As he left, he immediately became active and quickly took refuge with Jiang.

Sooner or later this person will be unlucky.

As a Jinyiwei, you need to have two things, talent and loyalty. As long as you have these two things, you will definitely have a good future.

Ambition is the worst thing to do.

It's okay that the emperor is faint.

As long as the emperor is not stupid.

Jin Yiwei, who is too ambitious, will definitely not end well.

Zhu Di paused slightly in his hand and raised his head, "Don't move these Jinyiwei strongholds. You choose a few outstanding military intelligence personnel, go to the Liu family leader and Jiang Jinzhong, and ask them to help, and place military intelligence personnel next to Jinyiwei who Ji Gang is developing. Slowly Slowly gain the trust of Jin Yiwei and let them be developed into offline by Jin Yiwei..."

In Jilong Island.

He will not let Jin Yiwei do whatever he wants.

Mao Laoliu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

Let Jin Yiwei develop military intelligence personnel into Jin Yiwei!

The young master is so smart!

Unexpectedly, the young master is also a good spy!

As a result, no matter how the Jinyiwei system of Jilong Island develops in the future, it will be infiltrated by military intelligence personnel.

You can even get some news from the DPRK and China from the Jilongyu Jinyiwei system.

even……

"Remember, let our people forget their identities after they go, lurk for a long time, and agree on a wake-up code. As long as the code does not appear, they will keep lurking. Only you and I know about this set of personnel. The rest of the Military Intelligence Department People must not know any clues, this set of lurking personnel is classified as top secret files."

He didn't want to do anything.

But Jin Yiwei stretched his tentacles directly to Jilong Island.

He had to be on guard.

Miaoyun and the children are the bottom line that he cannot touch.

"Master, I understand." Mao Xiang nodded immediately.

The Military Intelligence Department on Jilong Island is very small.

But the level of organization is staggering.

It was designed by the young master himself.

Top secret files are specially encrypted.

People who don't know the secret key can't decipher the information in the file even if they get it.

Zhu Di quickly stopped paying attention to the matter, changed the subject, and asked: "How is the layout of our military intelligence personnel this year?"

"Master, this year I will mainly focus on deploying military intelligence personnel to Srivijaya, Malacca, Champa, Annan and other places."

…

"The caravan that went to Malacca came back with news. It is said that the Chen family has also formed a new army. The military system is similar to the first town of our army, with towns, associations, bids, and battalions. The teams are lined up below. They I couldn't find it before, so I used another name..."

…

"There are 20,000 people in the Chen family's town. The smallest corps has five people in each corps. They are just copied from the young master's grouping in Min County. The number of people in their battalion is almost twice that of ours."

"Ten thousand of them are equipped with fire guns, five thousand sword and shield soldiers, and five thousand spear soldiers."

…

The more Zhu Di listened, the more interesting it became.

Unexpectedly, the Chen family was the first to follow his example and establish a new military system.

And they also trained 20,000 people at once!

…

"Master, based on the information sent back by intelligence personnel, I summarized and analyzed it and found that the Chen family seems to want to capture Malacca. Once the Chen family succeeds, it will have a great impact on our maritime trade."

Zhu Di pondered.

If the Chen family can really capture Malacca, they will be stuck in the Strait of Malacca.

Maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to trade in Malacca, or high taxes were deliberately imposed, which indeed greatly affected maritime trade.

But now we are going on an expedition to Malacca to defeat the Chen family?

To be honest, he didn't want to do this.

The navy's combat effectiveness is already very strong.

But warships are not suitable for going to places as far away as Malacca.

Moreover, he has not even laid a good foundation in Dongfan.

Being too impatient and having an unstable foundation is very detrimental to the long run.

He is only twenty years old.

Still very young.

There is no need to rush for quick success.

"Is there a force in Malacca that is comparable to the Chen family? Can we ease the relationship with the Chen family?..."

Zhu Di asked several questions in a series.

If we can ease the relationship with the Chen family.

Ensure smooth commercial exchanges across the Straits of Malacca in the future.

He can temporarily let the Chen family develop.

"In Malacca, the most powerful person is Prince Palembang Prince Paramesura. It is said that this Prince of Palembang is a descendant of Alexander..."

Zhu Di was secretly surprised.

It must have been Alexander the Great, King of Macedon.

It's possible.

It is very possible that Alexander the Great once conquered South Asia and left heirs there.

…

Zhu Di listened carefully while Mao Xiang introduced the various forces in that area.

After Mao Xiang finished speaking, he ordered: "Just continue to pay attention for now."

…

New Year's Eve night.

On the beach of Jilongyu Bay, piles of bonfires are lit.

Lan Yu and others had a very unique New Year's Eve.

After meal.

The children were the first to be unable to sit still.

Started to pay New Year greetings to Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

Looking at the little guys in the past, they have grown taller over the years.

The eldest Dongxu is fifteen years old.

A few years ago, the eighth uncle began to arrange a marriage for Dongxu. In one year, that is, the fifteenth year of Hongwu, it will be time to go home and get married.

The youngest group is Cai Lu and Xiong Ying.

Xiongying is also seven years old.

Historically, the fifteenth year of Hongwu was a year of great calamity for heroes.

Zhu Di also made silent preparations for this.

After the children paid New Year greetings one by one, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun distributed the New Year's money and said with a smile: "I know you have wanted to play for a long time, so go ahead and pay attention to safety when setting off firecrackers."

"Master and Master are the best!"

A group of children laughed and chatted, picked up the fireworks and firecrackers that had been placed nearby, and rushed towards the bright beach reflected in the firelight.

Today, every household in the entire bay is celebrating the New Year on the beach.

Children from other families have already started setting off firecrackers.

Dongxu and others joined.

It suddenly became more lively.

The adults chatted and took walks.

Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Zhu Di and others chatted for a while, then got up, took off their shoes, and walked barefoot on the beach.

Bang bang bang...

"Xiongying, don't get too close to the firecrackers."

…

Amid the explosions of fireworks and firecrackers, the cheerful voices of children could be heard.

Lan Yu looked away and said with a smile: "Before dinner today, Zhu Laosi gave me the detailed training outline of his army's first town. As we judged, the training content was very abnormal. If we just watched and practiced, we would not have this detailed outline. Tsuna, I really can’t learn the essence.”

"I'll go back later and let me take a look." If Lan Yu wasn't sure, Lan Yu would have something to say, and he couldn't wait to go back and see the details of the Fourth Army's first training town.

Lan Yu smiled and gradually put away her smile, "Have you ever heard of the saying that in the name of ideals, you can sweep across the world?"

Mu Ying was slightly stunned.

Then he nodded.

heard.

In the past few days, after returning from the resettlement site, he often ran to the first town camp.

Gradually, I heard this sentence from Tan Yuan and other generals.

"In my opinion, this sentence should be said that in the name of ideals, it is enough to go on a killing spree." Lan Yu said with a solemn face: "This is not difficult to understand. Zhu Laosi's ideal must be rural communities and hired workers. The body stock system, plus maritime trade, but he went on a killing spree, who did he want to kill?"

"I want to be aboveboard and ask him directly, do you think it's appropriate?"

He just couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Mu Ying to discuss it.

The prince has already made his position clear.

The Ming Dynasty did not engage in the employment share system.

This is obviously inconsistent with Zhu Laosi's ideals.

In the future, will Zhu Laosi...

Although it is sweeping across the world.

But when it comes to the world, in the novel, it is the sea around the Ming Dynasty.

Go big.

The emperor is rich all over the world!

Zhu Laosi is everywhere.

In the end, it is narrow, geographically all over the world.

Or broadly refers to the four seas.

Or say.

Is Zhu Laosi deliberately showing this attitude to force the prince to establish a labor share system?

In short, this sentence can be interpreted in many ways.

He didn't want to speculate.

Suspicion is the worst thing for both parties to get along harmoniously.

But be honest and ask Zhu Laosi directly.

Will it make Zhu Laosi unhappy?

The current Zhu Laosi is completely different from the past.

At least, he didn't want Zhu Laosi to think that he was bullying others.

Mu Ying thought about it for a moment, "Let me ask the fourth child together with you. Moreover, we should also remind the fourth child that Sihai's word choice is inappropriate. We are fine. If it is passed back to the court, he will cause a lot of trouble for himself."

…

After decision.

The two quickly found Zhu Di.

Zhu Di saw that something was wrong between the two of them.

He winked at Jiang Jinzhong and others.

Soon, only the couple, Lan Yu and Mu Ying were left.

Lan Yu didn't mince words and directly explained her doubts.

"Your Highness, the word Sihai is a bit sensitive, and I have a lot of thoughts. Once it is passed back to the court, the sour civil servants in the court will interpret more meanings. If possible, your highness, please change your words."

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay, I did not think carefully about this matter."

He, Tan Yuan and others revealed this meaning.

Unexpectedly, it would reach the ears of Lan Yu and the others so quickly.

Thanks to the two for their candid reminders.

"Let me tell you two, if Ming Dynasty needs it, whether my father is still alive or my eldest brother is in power in the future, I can do my best to help. I don't have any thoughts about Ming Dynasty..."

Lan Yu is honest.

He is also willing to be candid.

In the future, as long as Lan Yu doesn't die, she will definitely be the most powerful minister of her eldest brother.

Lan Yu has the ability to suppress all kinds of unfounded suspicions about him in the court.

Therefore, it is very necessary for them to cooperate honestly with each other.

…

Lan Yu and Mu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Zhu Di's explanation.

They believed in Zhu Laosi.

Maybe it's because they were honest with each other before and laid a good foundation.

…

That night.

The New Year's Eve is over.

Everyone returned to the mansion.

The two little guys have fallen asleep.

Xu Miaoyun was very happy, holding her chin in her hands and crawling next to Zhu Di, "Brothers Lan Yu and Mu Ying are willing to cooperate candidly. I am now more and more optimistic about the future."

Zhu Di smiled and hugged him.

The worry flashed away from his eyes.

There were some things that he didn't tell Miaoyun because he didn't want to worry her.

For example, Jin Yiwei has extended his tentacles to Jilong Island.

"Shiro..."

Xu Miaoyun suddenly raised her head, her pretty face flushed, and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di quickly hid the worry in his eyes and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"Yong Ming Qihua has started sleeping alone. Do you want another debt collector?"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Miaoyun blushed and covered her face in Zhu Di's chest, not daring to look at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh.

Yong Ming and Qi Hua were born.

When I first got married, young people really couldn't control themselves.

Moreover, if you don’t give birth.

Others will also have all kinds of gossip against Miaoyun.

Ever since Yong Ming and Qi Hua were born, he had tried his best to squeeze in as much time as possible when the two had sex.

Being too young and having too many children would do great harm to Miao Yun's health.

The age is right now.

"You always want to harm me!" Zhu Di joked with a smile.

Giggle...

Xu Miaoyun's laughter came out.

Zhu Di hugged him a little tighter and said, "Let nature take its course. It's best. Let's have another child after I follow my eldest brother to conquer the Yuan Dynasty in the north."

During the last grassland breakout, Miaoyun had to take care of Yongming and Qihua, and worry about him.

I suffered so much.

The Northern Expedition will destroy the Yuan Dynasty within a few years.

He didn't want Miaoyun to suffer anymore.

Moreover, I don’t know what will happen if the Northern Expedition destroys the Yuan Dynasty.

He obviously brought the First Army Town back to the court, but he couldn't predict what would happen.

…

The third day of the first lunar month.

It’s time to travel far!

Jilongyu Bay.

One hundred of the best warships stood in line. Yu Jing stood on the flagship equipped with twenty-four cannons, looking towards the dock.

Today, His Highness will take them and set off to attack the South China Sea to suppress the bandits!

It was finally his turn to perform in the big navy.

Can he not be in a hurry?
