Chapter 502: The Troubles of a Great Power

At this moment, Zhu Di wanted to take Zhu Gaochi back and continue to be his crown prince, but as for Zhu Gaoxi, he was completely desperate, and several defeats had completely exposed his shortcomings. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info have courage and no strategy In today's Taiping Ming Dynasty is no longer enough to take over the throne, the era of Wenxing and military abolition has come, and Zhu Di knows the truth.

After some thought, Zhu Di gave an order to the people in Dongchang, ordering them to send someone to bring Zhu Gaochi back, and then called Zhu Neng to inspect the imperial city together.

Zhu Neng had already heard the news that Zhu Di had sent someone to find Zhu Gaochi to come back, and at this moment he was secretly hesitant in his heart, not knowing whether to let Zhu Yong come back with him. After all, Tang Ming was now convicted of being a rebel, and it was not good for Zhu Yong to follow him now.

In front of him, the emperor seemed to be not as angry about these things as before, and there was a chance for Zhu Gaochi to come back, Zhu Neng wanted to tell Zhu Di about his son, so as not to be implicated in the future. But it's not easy to open your mouth about this, and Zhu Neng doesn't know whether to say it or not before he fully understands what Zhu Di means.

Zhu Neng only cared about the things in his heart, and didn't realize that Zhu Di had already paid attention to him for a long time, and seeing his unrelenting appearance, Zhu Di suddenly spoke: "Does Zhu Qing's family have something to say to me?" ”

Zhu Neng was slightly startled, and then remembered that the emperor was beside him, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "The old minister does have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

"Just say what you want, there are no outsiders here, don't have too many scruples." Zhu Di stopped and looked at Zhu Neng, there are only two old subordinates left in the whole court, Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu, if the matter is not big, he is still happy to help.

At this point, Zhu Neng had nothing to hesitate about, and opened his mouth and said: "The old minister wants to ask the emperor to allow my son to return to Daming with the prince!" ”

Zhu Neng was a son like Zhu Yong, he originally didn't want him to stay in the army, but after the Jingjing, the world was basically peaceful. It was already very difficult to make military achievements in the army, so he finally sent him to Tang Ming's side, but unexpectedly, Tang Ming finally became a thief. Although the emperor didn't say anything since the beginning of the fight, Zhu Neng couldn't treat it as nothing.

After hearing this, Zhu Di smiled, and continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back: "Then let him come back together, you and I are a family, don't care too much about this." Zhu Yong, this kid is indeed a good general, and after he came back, he let him stay by Gao Chi's side and assist him. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Zhu Neng's face was happy, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

Zhu Di waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "After Gao Xi's observation during this time, I also found that he is indeed not suitable to be the prince, and it is not easy for the Ming Dynasty to have today's prosperity, and I don't want to be buried in his hands." ”

Speaking of such a thing, this can almost be regarded as Zhu Di's family matter, so Zhu Neng can only nod his head and remain silent.

Seeing this, Zhu Di knew that he was talking too much, and it was really not appropriate to talk about such a thing here, so he immediately changed his words and said: "The things of the capital relocation ceremony have been arranged, and the face of the Ten Guan Daming must not be wrong." ”

After preparing for a few years, for today, Zhu Di didn't want to make any mistakes at this moment, and he also took the ceremony very seriously.

Zhu Neng already knew his temperament, so he didn't dare to relax any time, nodded and said: "Back to the emperor, everything is going well, just yesterday, the old minister heard that the Tatar side has sent an envoy. I believe that after the capital of Beiping is set in the future, peace will be guaranteed in the north. ”

Zhu Di likes to listen to this, whenever someone mentions his mood, he will always be surprisingly good, haha chuckled twice, and he inevitably said proudly: "Yesterday there was indeed a messenger sent by the Tatars, and I also agreed with him on a non-aggression agreement in the future." I think there should be a few years of stability, but unfortunately Tatar's words are not true, and changes are happening at any time, and although there is an agreement between the two countries, it cannot be completely taken seriously, and there should be no slackening in what should be guarded. ”

The Tatars were nomadic tribes with no fixed residence, and the tribes were in constant conflict with each other, and sometimes it was not the whole country that disturbed the borders of the Ming Dynasty. Instead, some tribes coveted the richness of the Ming Dynasty and attacked the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty in order to strengthen their tribes. This kind of thing can't be prevented.

Zhu Di wanted to take down these nomads, but because the land was sparsely populated and the place was not suitable for farming, it was not beneficial for the Ming Dynasty to capture such a place. Moreover, it is not easy to attack, the gains outweigh the losses, and the only way to focus on defense is to focus on defense.

Zhu Neng, as a general, naturally understands the reason, the last time Zhu Di personally conquered Tatar, brought a full 300,000 troops, and paid a great price, but the result was not only to take one Huerhot. Even so, the city was eventually returned to the Tatars, where the army had no natural danger to garrison.

In addition, due to the inconvenience of transporting materials, he could not be self-sufficient there, so Zhu Di finally had to search for it, and then returned to Daming with the army.

But now it's different, because Daming has a magical building material, with which he can build an incomparably strong high city on the grassland of Yima Pingchuan.

"Your Majesty, this Tatar is indeed a difficult bone, but the frontier has begun to expand the cities. With cement, a magical building material, it is not difficult to build a high city for defense, if the Tatars dare to attack me again in the future. Then they can send a large army to suppress it, and then build a city to defend it, so that they can slowly invade their country. ”

Zhu Neng's proposal, Zhu Di had also thought of it, but after discussing it with Yao Guangxiao, he still felt that it was not feasible. Unless Zhu Di can move the people of the Ming Dynasty and change them from farming to Tatar tribes and become nomadic herders.

Zhu Di shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This method is not feasible, there are still too many difficulties, and the water and soil of one side have created the people of one side." Different living customs are more determined to survive there, the vast plains of Tatar are not suitable for our Ming people, so all we can do is to constantly strengthen and build the defense of the frontier, that's all! ”

Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses, in fact, what Zhu Di said was just on the surface, and what really made Zhu Di stop here was the final issue of ruling and the implementation of imperial power.

The speed of transmission of news determines whether Zhu Di's imperial power can be mastered, and he can't take care of it now. It can be said that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and some local officials in remote areas, Zhu Di can't manage it now, let alone include the large land of Tatar into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
