The argument of enriching the harem has long been there, not only the ministers agree, but also the people have gradually become popular. The reason is very simple, how can there be no pure Han family women as concubines, how can there be no pure Han family descendants as successors?

Especially after Zhu Yongxing ascended the throne and became emperor, the ministers were even more enthusiastic. There are so many beauties in Jiangnan and Huxiang, can't you pick out the ones that the saints can see? This is related to the stability of the country in the future, but it is not trivial, and Zhu Yongxing's spear is not of much use in fact. Because of the different identities before, now, as long as they don't use this spear to do anything in the future, the ministers are willing to turn a blind eye.

As for the order in which the heirs were born, the courtiers were not worried. There is a difference between the concubines, even if Mengzhu and Long'er give birth to the prince first, only if they do not get involved in the later position, the eldest son of the emperor and the crown prince are still different.

Zhu Yongxing also felt the strength of traditional power, which was no longer his personal preference, but a major event related to people's hearts and the country. Just like Yi Cheng and Zheng Zhaoren, they are all his cronies, and they also hold this concept, so it may not be appropriate to insist on going their own way.

And Zhu Yongxing has repeatedly delayed, but on the other hand, it has also given many people the expectation and fantasy of climbing the dragon and the phoenix and ascending to the sky in one fell swoop. Increasing the number of palace people, asking people to say that they hope to seize an opportunity, hoping to make Zhu Yongxing Longyan happy. Even the maids in the palace may also hope that Banzai can be temporary, so that they can be qualified to be ranked as concubines.

Now, Zhang Chuantian saw Zhu Yongxing's demeanor, and knew that the little princess had a good conversation with her granddaughter, and asked her granddaughter to get some strange animals. This is undoubtedly an opportunity to get close to the royal family and the emperor, not to mention any proboscis monkeys and small squirrels, even rhinoceros elephants, which can also be transported from Borneo with the financial resources of the Zhang family.

"Good granddaughter, you are in Nanjing City with your grandfather. Or buy a house nearby! Zhang Chuantian knew that he couldn't say what he meant right away, which seemed to be suspected of selling people to invite pets, so he said euphemistically: "Grandpa is old, and the overseas family business will be taken care of by your father and uncles." You like it too, don't you? ”

If you can really please the royal family, even if you can't look down on your granddaughter, you will be in the face of the little princess. You can also look at the Zhang family differently, right? With a backer, the Zhang family's luck overseas can continue. Well, if he can really ascend to the sky in one step, then his Zhang family is the leader of the various clans in Nanyang, who dares to argue with the old countryman?

"Okay!" Of course, Zhang Shihua doesn't like foreign places, but the customs of her homeland make her linger, surrounded by compatriots and similar appearances. The same language, "But, grandpa, aren't you worried about the war?" ”

"Hehe, I used to be worried, but now I'm not too afraid." Zhang Chuantian exhaled a long breath lightly, stretched out his finger and pointed to the outside of the teahouse, "You have also seen it, this is already a peaceful scene." Long live the rise from the time when the building will fall. Can you still lose half of the rivers and mountains now? This fundraising was used for the Northern Expedition. Haven't you heard. The Ming army has landed in Shandong, this is to recover the Beijing division and smash the posture of the Yellow Dragon! ”

Zhang Shihua tilted his head and thought about it, nodded and said, "Long live is an enterprising attitude." Well, before the Northern Expedition was complete, it was necessary to form an armed force overseas. It can be seen that it still has some power to spare. ”

"Long-term vision, mind the world." Zhang Chuantian praised from the bottom of his heart: "And wise and benevolent. This is the blessing of overseas Chinese and the happiness of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. ”

"The Holy One loves that little princess very much!" Zhang Shihua was still worried about Rou'er's entrustment, but he didn't know if his grandfather was willing to pay human and financial resources, so he smiled and tentatively said: "Proboscis monkey." If you have to call it a weevil-nosed monkey, it's very cute. ”

"Then it's shipped from Borneo." Zhang Chuantian waved his hand angrily and said with a smile: "What monkeys, rhinoceros, and little squirrels are all sent to her by my good granddaughter." Well, send it a few more times, don't send it all at once. ”

Zhang Shihua pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa, what do you have in mind?" Please the little princess, she is a little child, and she can still say good things for you in front of Banzai? ”

"Children are the most sincere and the most grateful." Zhang Chuantian shook his head lightly and said: "With Banzai's favor for her, she is happy, the concubine is happy, and the emperor likes it." ”

"Grandpa thinks really far." Zhang Shihua thought about it and smiled mischievously: "I want to go to Hangzhou to play, and there will be Suzhou and ...... in the future."

"Okay, it's up to you." Zhang Chuantian smiled helplessly and said, "You girl, you are not afraid of scattering the old bones of your grandfather." ”

"Huh." Zhang Shihua got what he wanted, shook his grandfather's arm coquettishly, and smiled happily.

………….

Peace! For those who want to be in a safe corner, it is something that cannot be sought. During the Hongguang Dynasty, he was keen on "uniting the capture of the Qing Dynasty" and officially sent an embassy to negotiate with the Qing side, that is, to negotiate peace.

There must always be a clear plan for negotiations, but this is not the case. Zuo Maodi felt that the task given to him by the imperial court was not clear, and asked for clarification. However, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and other important ministers of the imperial court were eager to listen to his opinions. Under the persecution of Shi Kefa and others, Zuo Maodi embarked on the road to the north against his will, and in the bleak future, all he could do was not to succumb to the Qing court and use death to maintain his national integrity.

The result of the northern envoy can be imagined, the northern mission sent by Hongguang Junchen did not have the corresponding force as a backing, and it was enough to bring humiliation on itself, which can really be described as "losing the wife and breaking the army".

This time, the Qing court sent an envoy to negotiate peace, although Zhu Yongxing did not consider it, but he took the opportunity to use the strategy. He sent Zhang Weihan, who had no official status, as his own envoy to negotiate peace, and dragged out negotiations with the Qing court envoys in Zhenjiang. Secretly, he used the money and food raised to actively prepare for a major counteroffensive.

First of all, it secretly increased its troops to Shandong, and the 2nd Division of the Shuo Army boarded the ship and set off, and the 3rd Division would also go to Shandong in half a month, thus completely changing the balance of forces between the enemy and us in Shandong. At the same time, money and grain continued to be shipped to Shandong, and Yu Qi's independent division was expected to be fully equipped in two months.

The second is to pay a large amount of money to the Ministry of State Security for infiltration and development in the north, and to buy and induce. The fortress is the easiest to attack from within, and in the case of unstable people in the Northlands, intelligence work should be carried out more smoothly than before.

There is also a large amount of money that is spent on the military industry, mainly for the production of artillery and rockets. For Zhu Yongxing, the goal he hoped to achieve was to make the Ming army meet or approach the standard of a modern army. At least in terms of weaponry, it must have the level of a modernized army.

In this way, under the smokescreen of peace talks, the prelude to the great counteroffensive has begun, and the Qing court is in a state of standstill in military mobilization because of the delay in peace talks. (To be continued......)
