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

Army camp.

Handsome tent.

After the review, Zhu Di led the generals to the commander's tent.

Zhu Di sat in the main seat and looked around at the gathering of civil and military classes. A smile appeared on his lips and his eyes fell on Mao Xiang. "Mao Xiang, on behalf of the Military Intelligence Department, tell everyone about the current situation in Luzon."

Everyone was shocked.

The Army has a battalion stationed in Peacock Island (Palawan).

He also often interacts with the 10,000 Han immigrants in Mindoro, and he knows a little bit about the situation in Luzon.

But I don’t know much about it in detail.

Mao Xiang stood up and came to the complete picture of Luzon hanging behind Zhu Di.

Zhu Di turned around, and the army generals sitting on both sides of the long table all looked at Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang couldn't help but feel a little proud when he looked at the detailed map of Luzon in front of him.

This map of Luzon is the masterpiece of their Military Intelligence Department.

Not only are there river branches, but they also know exactly which places are tribes, which places are villages, and what the relationship is with the Luzon court.

They even know how many wells there are in Luzon and where the branches are.

Mao Xiang gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, and spoke solemnly: "Your Majesty, Luzon has its own language, but it has no writing. Ninety-nine percent of Luzon people have no concept of writing. The writing used by Luzon officials is still ours." Chinese character……"

Everyone knows these general information.

However, some of the details are unknown.

Therefore, everyone listened very carefully.

"Over the years, the Military Intelligence Division and the immigrants on Mindoro Island have cooperated with each other. We have trained a large number of talents who can master Luzon, about 3,000 people. Two thousand of them have mastered Luzon over the years and have initially mastered the language. The amount of Chinese characters is barely enough..."

"Among the nearly 1,000 people left, there are 800 children, 100 academicians, and 100 scholars and scholars. Among them, except for 800 children, the remaining 200 academicians and scholars with the largest reserves of knowledge are those who followed the great scholar Wu The group of young scholars who caused trouble in Hai were thrown by the prince to Dongfan for training."

…

Zhu Di raised his hand slightly, and Mao Xiang stopped immediately.

Zhu Di ordered: "Two thousand young men who master Luzon but barely have enough writing skills will be assigned to the army to serve as our translators when conquering Luzon. The military will deal with the local people in Luzon. Tan Yuan, you and Mao Contact Xiang, how will these people be distributed and resettled when they return to the army? Please hurry up and write down a plan. After writing it, immediately send someone to Fujian for me to read..."

The education level of these two thousand people is too low.

It is barely usable in the military.

Elsewhere, it is not enough.

In the final analysis, his foundation is too weak.

Generally speaking, scholars who have passed the academician and scholar examinations want to continue their efforts in the Central Plains.

As for the eight hundred children, they are all children of ordinary people.

A small number of them are immigrants.

Most of my family members are still in Fujian.

These children are already in their twenties.

They are all children of poor people.

After passing the examination, Tongsheng either lacks ability or the financial resources of the family cannot support them to continue to obtain fame.

So I found a job as a bookkeeper and ran errands in the shops of Fujian gentry and powerful merchants.

When he went to sea.

These young people in their twenties are not willing to be bookkeepers for the rest of their lives.

About 600 people chose to go to Dongfan to have a try.

"How have the thoughts of those scholars who followed Wu Hai made trouble changed?"

Mao Xiang smiled: "It has changed a lot. After being thrown to Fujian by the prince, most people were assigned to resettlement sites and worked together with the resettled people to build rural communities. Their views on rural communities are different from before. , of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people have not changed, but hide their true resistance in their hearts..."

"Compared with this group of scholars who have a good reserve of knowledge, I admire the eight hundred children more. They work actively in building rural villages and communities, and they also work hardest when learning Luzon language..."

…

"I believe that eight hundred children will become officials at all levels in the prince's rule in Luzon in the future..."

"No!"

Zhu Di shook his head and rejected Mao Xiang's proposal, "Don't arrange high-level official positions for these eight hundred people. Half of them will be teachers in the future, and half will be mayors of more than a dozen villages. Let them guide the people of Luzon in building rural villages." Social construction..."

Everyone was stunned.

These eight hundred people are the most loyal to the prince. Why did the prince arrange them to the lowest position?

Because it is a joint meeting.

Civil officials were also present.

Jiang Jinzhong, as the head of the civil servants of Yan Fan, immediately complained: "Your Majesty, these 800 people have the strongest sense of belonging to the prince and our Yan Fan. How can they waste it on positions such as teaching and mayor? They should at least be one in the future." County magistrate, right?"

The prince created a town mayor position.

It only took him a moment to think about it.

At the county level, hundreds of villages are in charge.

Once rural village cooperatives are implemented, county officials alone will not be able to quickly and comprehensively promote rural cooperatives.

If town and county secondary institutions are set up.

A town mayor who has experience in building rural village communities is the leader of a dozen or even twenty villages.

It will be possible to more quickly build the responsible villages into rural village communities within one or two years.

This secondary structure must have been specially set up for the construction of rural village communities.

In Luzon, the faster the construction of rural village communities, the faster Luzon will be stabilized and the more conducive it will be to governance.

The number of people paying wages has increased, and it is acceptable to bite the bullet.

But he couldn't bear to part with these eight hundred loyal young men.

How much knowledge you have through reading is actually not important at all.

The imperial court appointed officials based on their merit.

But they, Yan Fan, were different.

Yan Fan was not interested in power.

Instead, start a career and work hard!

Compared with the level of fame.

Practical ability is the most important!

He had already noticed these eight hundred people, and planned to place them in positions such as provincial capitals, prefectures and counties under the prince's rule in the future.

Zhu Di said with a smile: "Don't be sad, I arranged it this way for a reason. Whether we can rule Luzon for a long time depends on two aspects. First, the grassroots people's perception of us, and second, the education of Luzon's children." assimilation."

"The grassroots are the mayors who have direct contact with the people. These people must be absolutely devoted to our Yan Fan and willing to contribute to the cause of Yan Fan."

"Education is the school we will open in the future. Teachers who teach children must not have any ideological problems..."

More than two hundred young scholars followed Wu Hai to make trouble.

The higher the fame, the more profound the knowledge.

But the thoughts of this group of people are unstable and even impure!

We absolutely cannot do things that directly target the people at the bottom and educate people.

"This group of people are placed in positions such as provincial capitals, prefectures and counties to temporarily work for us. We will also inspect them. If they are really thought changers, they will be promoted and appointed. If they are pretending, they will be eliminated one after another in the future. …”

Giving this group of people higher civil rights is actually not terrible.

Help him rule Luzon temporarily.

When there are more scholars under his rule, there will be more people available.

Just clean it off.

"Jinzhong, please find time to have a heart-to-heart talk with the eight hundred children and tell them that going to work at the grassroots level is only a temporary assignment for two or three years. When we have more people available, the town-level institutions will be abolished, and they will also They will be promoted accordingly based on their performance in their duties below. It is not impossible to directly bypass the county magistrate and be promoted to a higher position. I look at their hard work!"

At the town level, it is just a temporary institution.

In fact, when the imperial court was promoting rural village societies, he planned to suggest that the imperial court set up such a temporary authority.

After the implementation of the rural village community, it was immediately cancelled.

After much thought, he rejected the idea.

He has concerns.

He had no say in Ming Dynasty.

He can suggest establishment.

But in the future, he has no say whether it can be canceled or not.

Once the authority's jurisdiction begins to spread, officials may not be willing to stop.

The Ming Dynasty now has two hundred common people, supporting one person who eats royal food.

If we increase the town level comprehensively.

I'm afraid it's enough for a hundred common people to feed one person who eats royal food.

terrible!

Let alone development, the Ming Dynasty may soon be overwhelmed by these people who eat the royal food!

But under his rule, in order to implement rural village communities as soon as possible and stabilize the people of Luzon, it was imperative to establish secondary institutions at counties and towns.

He is also confident that it will be over in the future!

"This secondary institution is temporary. You civil servants must keep this in mind. We cannot afford to support so many people, and it is not necessary. In the past dynasties of the Central Plains, there were actually secondary institutions in the county, but they were just obscure. It is composed of the county government and local gentry..."

"After the rural cooperatives are established in the future, the so-called invisible secondary institutions will be composed of the county government, employee stock trading firms, and rural cooperatives."

“Rural village cooperatives and employee-owned commercial firms have two economic structures. They implement a high degree of autonomy and are responsible for their own profits and losses. The county government is only responsible for taxation, local security litigation, education, policy communication and guidance, and the construction of farmland, water conservancy and other infrastructure. Our government , will never interfere in the profit and loss issues of rural village communities and employee-owned companies. Their bankruptcy is also their business. The common people and employees can only complain about the leader's incompetence..."

“In terms of the non-transferable original share capital of rural land and agricultural tools, we ensure that the people have countless opportunities to start over in terms of these systems. After completing these institutional constructions, education, farmland water conservancy and other basic constructions, their internal affairs will We will only make judgments in accordance with the laws of the Yan Fan that will be formulated in the future, and others will never interfere. In this way, no matter what conflicts occur, their grievances will be within the small economies in which they live..."

After Xia Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Why did Guozuo of Zhou Dynasty last for 800 years?

Why did some people later advocate the restoration of Zhou rites?

The big reason is that some people feel that the Zhou Dynasty system is actually more stable than the prefecture and county system after the Qin Dynasty.

In fact, there are some things that scholars who admire Zhou Li dare not say out loud.

That is to restore the enfeoffment system!

Under the enfeoffment system.

There is no conflict between the people and the central government.

All conflicts arise between the common people and the feudal lords.

The common people would rebel against each other and oppress the princes who exploited them, but they rarely directly shouted out to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty.

But the disadvantages of the enfeoffment system are also great.

It is that the power of the princes and lords is too huge. In the end, the princes will be able to directly threaten the center.

The prince's rural village community and employee-share system.

In fact, while benefiting the people.

It is also a different kind of enfeoffment.

However, under the county system, private wealth is cut into countless small pieces and distributed to individual economic groups.

Each county government is a ‘center’ relative to these scattered economic groups.

The Yan Fan regime only needs to remain neutral and fair.

When there are conflicts within an economic group, resentment will first be directed at the leader within the group.

In the vast majority of cases, direct conflicts between the people and the government cannot be formed!

It is tantamount to establishing another institution that has received acceptance between the government and the people.

Even in the future, if the county magistrate does not do well within the county, the court can only sternly punish the county magistrate to calm the anger of the people.

Just like the central monarch of the Zhou Dynasty punishing the princes.

The magistrate punishes better than the princes.

As for within the county, if the economy grows bigger, there is no fear of getting involved in county power.

Since the First Emperor centralized power.

Wealth can never compete with power!

…

Xia Shimin, Jiang Jinzhong and a group of civil servants have already discovered some of the benefits of rural village communes and the employee-employed share system for the continuation of the regime.

They were all thinking about it silently.

And Mao Xiang's narration continues.

It has shifted from the civil affairs aspect to the military aspect.

"Your Majesty, according to our intelligence, the Luzon Dynasty has been actively preparing for war since we forced the Luzon court to fight for the interests of the people from the Central Plains in Mindoro Island. Moreover, after Chen Zuyi captured the Malacca Dynasty, the two sides had a conflict. After contacting the Luzon Dynasty, Chen Zuyi sent some craftsmen to the Luzon Dynasty to teach the Luzon Dynasty to cast short-barreled fire muskets and a wooden cannon with a very short range. I heard that the elm wood was hollowed out and filled with gunpowder and iron sand..."

After Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Chen Zuyi is worthy of being an immigrant from the Central Plains.

The craftsmanship of his craftsmen was insufficient.

He actually thought of a way to make this kind of wooden cannon.

"The areas that Luzon truly effectively rules are the Central Luzon region, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Southern Tagalog and other regions, which are equivalent to our Ming Dynasty Jisi District. The governance is very loose. There are one million people in the Central Luzon region. Population, the Luzon court has 50,000 elite troops, 50,000 similar to the local Xiang army of the Song Dynasty. According to reports from members of the Military Intelligence Department, for more than a year, with the support of Chen Zuyi, among the 50,000 elite troops of the Luzon dynasty, 20,000 According to the establishment of the Chen Dynasty's new army, they were organized into a new army equipped with artillery and muskets..."

The establishment of Chen Dynasty's new army was larger than that of Zhu Di's army in the first town.

Twenty thousand people in one town!

On the other hand, Zhu Di.

Except for the first town of the Army, it adopts the reorganized town model.

The rest of the new ones are all mixed into associations.

no way.

First of all, Zhu Di did not have so many generals who could command the reorganized town.

Tan Yuan commanded a reorganized town, but his command was barely adequate.

Zhang Wu, Zhou Lang, Wang Jiye and others need to continue to grow in the war.

They have reached the limit of their ability to take charge of an association.

For this, staff assistance must be provided.

At the beginning, we established a staff system in the military.

This was not Zhu Di’s original intention at the beginning.

Later, it was discovered that senior generals at all levels found it difficult to command, so the staff system was established.

This is also one of the reasons why the generals and staff at all levels of the Yanfan Army can cooperate well.

Because the ability is not yet enough to control the entire army.

So it is easier to accept staff.

Of course, as systems and habits are formed, Yanfan's navy and army staff will always occupy an important position in the army.

"As the results of the implementation of rural village communities in Mindoro appeared, the surrounding villages where people gathered in Luzon also began to follow suit. And just like us in the Central Plains, the elites in Luzon also regarded rural village communities as a scourge. In the past year, Constantly clashing with the immigrants from the Central Plains in Mindoro..."

…

Wait for Mao Xiang to finish his introduction.

Zhu Di asked with a smile: "Tan Yuan, the self-defense forces in Mindoro Island were trained by your army. How is their combat effectiveness?"

The Mindoro Self-Defense Force is small.

There are only more than a thousand people.

However, if this power is used properly, it can also play a big role.

"Your Majesty, your fighting ability is pretty good. You can shoot within 80 steps without any problem. Your coordination with spears and thrusts is also remarkable."

new

Zhu Di nodded and ordered: "Send a batch of rifles to the Self-Defense Forces and tell them that if the Luzon regime sends troops next time, they don't have to endure it anymore and will beat them hard!"

"The navy secretly sent two battalions of the army from the first town to Peacock Island. Once the Luzon Dynasty sent heavy troops to attack Mindoro Island, the two battalions stationed themselves in Mindoro Island under the pretext of protecting immigrants from the Central Plains..."

Except in the name of ideals.

No matter what, I have to come up with some excuse to make other teachers famous.

The Luzon Dynasty persecuted immigrants from the Central Plains and was hostile to the rural village communities he promoted. The best excuse was to brutally exploit and oppress the people of Luzon.

He will protect the emigrants.

Under the banner of rescuing the people of Luzon, he marched into Luzon.

Then implement the ideal.

Words and deeds are one.

Only then can we truly gain a foothold on these four seas!

…

After the joint meeting.

Zhu Di walked out of the camp.

"Your Majesty..."

There was a shout from behind.

Zhu Di turned his head following the sound.

Jiang Jinzhong and Xia Shimin followed, panting.

They looked at each other, wanting to speak but stopping.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "If you want to say anything, just say it."

Jiang Jinzhong sneered, "Your Majesty, in addition to benefiting the people by promoting rural communities and the employee-share system, is it also an alternative to restoring Zhou rites? Can it be completely or effectively solved? Since the Qin Dynasty, the world has been in chaos every three hundred years. The cyclical law of the rise and fall of dynasties?”

Zhu Di looked at the two of them and smiled, very happy.

Inside the Ming Dynasty.

I am afraid that my father and eldest brother have not really seen through this problem.

But today he only revealed some hints.

Jinzhong and Brother Xia thought of it.

"The essence of the rural village cooperatives and the employee-shareholding system is to rely on the 'hubs' of each county to build fragmented and institutionally determined small economies, and to limit conflicts to small economies as much as possible. Is it possible to I can’t yet determine the cyclical law that effectively delays the rise and fall of dynasties, but I do have assumptions in this regard.”

"We are in a foreign land and have to integrate a bunch of scattered small political powers. If we want to completely integrate it, it will take longer. For ordinary dynasties, one or two hundred years is not enough. What if this time is five or six hundred years? I believe, Even if our Yan Fan ceases to exist by then, the people in this territory have already been completely Chineseized by us with the Central Plains culture, and they fully identify themselves as descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, inherited from the Yan Fan, and will no longer be related to our future immigrants from the Central Plains. There is no distinction between them!"

This is his expectation for the future under the rule of Yan Fan.

Even if Yan Fan no longer exists.

The people here also agree that they share the same culture and race as those in the Central Plains.

Just like the Anglo-Saxon group in the West in later generations!

This may be the greatest wealth he can leave for future generations when he goes overseas to develop.

Xia Shimin said optimistically: "Your Majesty, the Zhou Dynasty still has eight hundred years of national destiny. As long as our system is done well, it will greatly eliminate direct conflicts between the people and the government. At the same time, there will be no dangerous centers among the princes. At least the Yan Fan There are also eight hundred years of Guo Zuo!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh.

"Then let me borrow some good words from Brother Xia."

…

The next day.

Jilong Island.

Zhu Di was ready to leave.

Everyone knows that Zhu Di is going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to welcome the Holy Emperor, and that the Holy Emperor will come to Dongfan soon.

When seeing Zhu Di off.

The people discussed it one after another.

"His Majesty is coming to our east!"

"I heard that not only His Majesty, but also the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China are here."

"Hmph, these civil and military groups hate the prince. This time, let these people come and see how advanced Dongfan is under the prince's rule!"

"No, if I hadn't gone to sea with the prince, how could I have seen so many sea ships, as well as our shipyard on Jilong Island, and the blast furnaces with billowing smoke... Not to mention the good life, we are in Dongfan If you hadn’t come to Dongfan, you might never see these things in your lifetime!”

"My boss said that the changes in the Ming Dynasty are very small. It is not like our Dongfan at all. It almost looks the same every day."

…

"The prince is here!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and the people looked behind the dock.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's family of five walked in front, followed by civil and military officials to see them off.

Arrive at the pier.

Zhu Di turned his head, looked at Jiang Jinzhong and others, and said with a smile: "Jinzhong, tell the craftsmen in the ironworks who are conducting experiments not to be afraid of failure and to experiment slowly. The navy led by Yu Jing is greedy and still has no interest in the accumulated power currently being used. Not satisfied, I put forward the request to the shipyard to increase power, iron sheet production, and the mechanical part. I think there is no problem. The main reason is that the manpower is insufficient. Can the iron smelting workshop cooperate with the shipyard? Smart craftsmen are concentrated in At the same time, the financial resources of the two organizations are pooled together, and both can carry out experiments. Under Yan Fan, there are not so many restrictions and rules..."

Before leaving the house.

The master craftsman in charge of the ironworks came over and told him in frustration that the experiment failed after repeated attempts.

Jiang Jinzhong nodded with a smile.

Zhu Di pointed to the dirt road under his feet.

Dongfan is too short of manpower.

In addition to smoothing the roads, even the important roads between the palace, government offices and docks were not paved with bricks or stones.

"Now that the cement has been successfully verified, hurry up and repair this road. When the court comes, we can make a fortune whether it is selling cement or selling technology. Now my pocket is cleaner than my face!"

Two and a half million!

It was all over the place and there was nothing left!

From now on, the things and technologies that Ming wants from Dongfan cannot be paid for free.

Because it has been completely cut.

"Hurry up and build a few more No. 2 blast furnaces. Regardless of whether we need such a large production capacity, when His Majesty arrives with all the civil and military officials, they will be erected for me..."

He didn't just want to make a fortune this time.

I also want to reach several long-term terms with Daming.

Don’t show the good stuff.

How to make those who hate him hold their noses and agree.

Jiang Jinzhong couldn't help but laugh.

That's right.

The prince's Yan Fan and Ming Dynasty are equal!

The prince founded the country without proclaiming himself emperor, that was just to give Ming Dynasty face.

It does not mean that Yan Fan is a vassal of the imperial court!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission!"

Zhu Di nodded with a smile and looked around at everyone: "Okay, just send it here. During my absence, the civil and military teams will perform their duties and do a good job in all affairs of Yan Fan, and strive to give the civil and military officials a refreshing shock. I will create favorable conditions for the next negotiations with the imperial court!"

despair!

The army generals, led by Tan Yuan, stood at attention.

The civil officials, headed by Jiang Jinzhong, bowed their heads.

"As you command!"

Zhu Di smiled, holding hands with Xiao Qihua and Xiao Yongming, Xu Miaoyun holding Jindouzi, and the family of five boarded the flagship that was already docked at the dock.

Woo woo woo...

The horn sounded.

The Navy's First Fleet, composed of fifty warships, slowly sailed out of the bay.

Go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Until the fleet disappeared from sight.

Jiang Jinzhong came back to his senses and said excitedly with a smile: "Everyone, take action!"

If.

The prince previously led troops back to the Ming Dynasty, but the prince could not be the master of the Ming Dynasty.

But Dongfan.

This is the prince’s territory!

…

Three days later.

Fifty miles away from Jiaxing Mansion, on the sea.

night.

The warship's anchor rested on the sea, rising and falling with the undulating sea surface under the moonlight.

flagship.

In the cabin of Zhu Di's office.

Yu Jing, Lu Zhen and Kobayakawa Nakaye were sitting at attention.

Zhu Di got up and came to the cabin, in front of the map of Japan hanging in the cabin. This map was drawn by Kobayakawa Nakaye and others.

In fact, he also has a more detailed map of Japan drawn by the Military Intelligence Department.

But it cannot be shown.

Bang bang!

Zhu Di pointed at the map and asked, "Where are you going to develop first?"

Show an attitude of respect for the five people.

Ohno stood up and bowed ninety degrees, "Your Majesty, I would like to hear your advice from my humble position. Your Majesty's military strategy is unparalleled!"

snort!

Zhu Di glanced at this little Japanese pirate who claimed to be a subordinate to him, and snorted secretly, then he did his best and moved his finger to a certain place on the picture: "I suggest you choose Kagoshima. Kagoshima is more convenient for us to provide assistance to you. At the same time, , Kagoshima’s terrain advantage is very obvious..."

…

"Early tomorrow morning, I will order Commander Lu to lead fifteen naval warships to escort you further north to Kagoshima. Relying on the artillery of our naval warships, we will cooperate with you to attack Kagoshima. After we capture it, how it will develop in the future will be determined. It depends on your own ability. Apart from providing you with muskets, we will not interfere in your domestic affairs. Of course, you need to exchange muskets and artillery at equal value. You should have some understanding of how poor I am now..."

Kobayakawa and others couldn't help but laugh when they heard Zhu Di's words.

Indeed, the wealth of this prince is probably not as great as that of a small feudal lord in their Japanese country.

"Moreover, our exchange is clearly equal, and no one is dependent on the other. In the future, when you seize the power of Japan, our cooperation will be more harmonious."

Zhu Di's "frankness" successfully confused Daye and others.

Accept Zhu Di's proposal in full.

Of course, if you have any small calculations in mind, you can only wait and see.

After arranging for Yu Jing to leave with Ohno and the five others, Zhu Di left Lu Zhen alone. While staring at the Japanese country in trance, he suddenly said: "Senior Lu..."

Lu Zhen was shocked and listened carefully.

"After arriving in Kagoshima, it is best to launch a raid at night. Senior Lu must carefully observe how effective this group of Japanese pirates we have trained is. I will give it to Senior Lu. I have never thought of helping Ohno and others unify Japan, I just hope they can help me bring the ideals of our Yan Fan back to Japan, and bring high-intensity war back to Japan..."

He planned to let Lu Zhen be responsible for all matters before the conquest of Japan in the future.

Lu Zhen came from the war in the late Yuan Dynasty.

He also worked as a pirate across the four seas.

In terms of cunning and cunning, there are few people under his command who can compare with Lu Zhen.

Yu Jing can't.

too young.

Commanding the battle is okay.

If you ask him to deal with Japanese pirates, he will definitely fail.

"When we expelled and exterminated the pirates in the East China Sea, some pirates fled to Goryeo and the Japanese country. Senior Lu had interactions with them, and we can get in touch with them in the future. Once the Japanese country was completely reduced to a pot of porridge, senior Lu supported them to develop in the Japanese country and let them gather together. Warriors, in the future, I can support them to go further west and occupy the land and become king..."

The high-intensity war consumed millions of Japanese pirates.

But what about the remaining two million?

Still too much.

It's too difficult to assimilate.

He was going to support some little pirates.

Go to some places further west to establish territory.

To establish territory, you need people.

Let this group of people go to the war-torn Japanese country to sell Japanese slaves!

Completely dismember the Japanese ethnic group!

As for the sale of Japanese slaves, it has nothing to do with him. He will only promote it and will not participate in it.

That’s it.

Zhu Di turned around, saw Lu Zhen's face full of shock, and asked with a smile: "Senior Lu, do you think my behavior is too cruel?"

Lu Zhen suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, I understand the nature of the Japanese people because of my humble position. If not, we would not be able to effectively rule the Japanese country..."

Zhu Di nodded with a smile, "Go and get ready."

"As you command!"

After watching Lu Zhen leave, Zhu Di turned to the cabin window, opened the solid wood window, and looked outside at the undulating sea under the moonlight.

In fact, if it weren't for historical hatred.

If he hadn't explored the American continent in the future, he would have needed the Japanese island as a springboard.

Even if you don't rule the Japanese island, there is no regret.

In the future, he wanted to explore America and needed a stopover.

Although the coastal area in the north of the imperial court is suitable.

Father is here, so it should be okay to use it.

But what about the eldest brother?

He mainly thinks about the long term.

…

The next day.

Zhu Di and Lu Zhen parted ways and continued their journey to Jiaxing Mansion.

Yixing.

Zhu Yuanzhang's Southern Tour also set off again.

It was less than two days away from Huzhou Prefecture, where the Shen family was located.

Twenty thousand Beijing troops escorted them.

Not only did the civil and military officials come by themselves, but they also brought their families with them. The motives of these family members of powerful officials who took the opportunity to follow were very simple.

I just want to visit Dongfan.

Then, enjoy Dongfan’s various exotic fruits and vegetables.

In the past, only a few that were brought back to the imperial court were durable enough to be stored.

Most of them are dried fruits.

…

The mighty team is marching.

Inside a carriage.

Zhu Biao's third son, Zhu Yunwen, climbed up the carriage window and watched with envy as Zhu Yunwen leaned in Zhu Biao's arms and learned to ride a horse under Zhu Biao's guidance.

At some point, the curtain was lowered.

Turning around, he looked at Beauty Wang, "Mom, can I ask my father to teach me how to ride a horse?"

Wang Meiren put down the book in her hand.

He raised the curtain and opened his eyes.

Putting it down again, he reached out and touched Zhu Yunzhen's little head: "You have to remember, don't fight, don't grab..."

She didn't want her son to be like Zhu Yunwen, always going to the prince's side to please him.

This is too dangerous.

A prince who is not qualified to inherit had better turn himself into a little transparent.

As the son of the Crown Prince.

The prince always has to give something to his son.

Keeping this thing is enough for her son to live in glory and wealth for a lifetime.

Four-year-old Zhu Yunxuan nodded in despair.

"Mother..." Zhu Yuxiu suddenly interrupted, "Tell me, is Fourth Uncle's Dongfan as good as our Ming Dynasty Jinling?"

"Of course not. Our Ming Dynasty is a kingdom in the Central Plains! It is the best place in the world, and Jinling is the best place in the world!"

…

At this moment, many people in the southern patrol team were talking about Zhu Di and Dong Fan.

Zhu Yunwen tilted his head back slightly and looked at Zhu Biao: "Father, will my child be able to visit Dongfan on your behalf in the future?"

It would be so majestic to visit Dongfan when he becomes a prince!

"sure!"

I came back late from working overtime today. I only wrote two-thirds of the detailed outline I wrote yesterday. I will definitely write 10,000 words tomorrow. Finally, I want to ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
