The system of liuguan is undoubtedly a thing that absolutely strengthens the centralization of power.

The transfer of officials has effectively prevented local power from taking root.

And this system, for those remote foreign areas, has irreplaceable creativity.

Today's Liaodong is also like the political model of the Ming Dynasty in the Yunnan-Guizhou area.

The imperial court only sent a small number of soldiers and horses to be stationed on the vast Liaodong Plain north of Liaohaiwei to Dingzhou Youwei.

And more soldiers, horses and energy will be concentrated in the area of Liaodong Town, the capital of Liaodong.

As for the large area of land in Liaodong, it existed more in the form of a tributary or vassal.

The Jurchen and other tribes in Liaodong bowed down to the Ming Dynasty and respected the Ming Dynasty as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire. Without investing actual money, food, and manpower, the Ming Dynasty gained a large expanse of land and nominal suzerainty.

When the tribes in Liaodong need it, they open the mutual market and trade the items they need with the tribes in Liaodong.

Zhu Gaochi, who was squatting on the ground, raised his head silently and said in a low voice: "The military report I just received this morning shows that my father is rushing to the Trouble River with the East Route Army. They were to block the east and prevent the Tatars from escaping to Liaodong. ”

After finishing speaking, his eyes glanced at Zhu Yunxi lightly, and then he continued to lower his head and hugged the cement pillar in front of him with both hands.

Zhu Yunxi blinked, and only spoke after muttering for a while: "If the Tatar royal court really wants to go to Liaodong, then we will let go of the side of the Trouble River and let the Tatars go to Liaodong." ”

Zhu Shangbing snorted.

After attracting the attention of several people, a smile appeared on his face.

"I know what you guys think!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face, and he nodded: "Then you can tell me what we think." ”

Ab and I also smiled on the sidelines.

He has been attached to Daming for some days, and he also knows a little about these clansmen around the emperor's grandson.

He even believes that in the planning of Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the Ming Emperor, the future Ming clan will take Yan Shizi as the talent of the country and Qin Shizi as the ability of the military state.

To say that Qin Shizi can understand these strategies of the country.

Ab was a little skeptical.

Zhu Shangbing snorted twice, raised his head and raised his eyebrows and glanced at Abu Zhimei: "You think I'm stupid?" ”

Abu didn't know how he was targeted, so he immediately bowed his head: "The minister doesn't dare, the prince is smart and heroic, but everyone knows it." ”

Hearing King Shun'an say this, Zhu Shangbing's face softened slightly.

At this time, he also began to explain: "You want to drive the wolf, right? ”

Zhu Shangbing blinked his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunxi with a look of praise.

Zhu Yunxi hummed and said, "Go on." ”

"Now the Tatar royal court that I don't know where to go is the group of steppe wolves, and the Jurchen and other tribes in Liaodong are the tigers in the mountains."

"Over the years, the imperial court has not had much strategy for Liaodong, and the Jurchen and other tribes in Liaodong have also been very deferential. If at this time, the imperial court suddenly wants to start a large-scale tour of Liaodong, which is morally unjustifiable. ”

"Our family still has to save face, so since we can't make a direct move, we can only borrow the knife of the Tatar royal court to completely disrupt the entire Liaodong."

"When the time comes, we should send troops to Liaodong, and it will be justified."

"After the incident, we will sweep away the Tatar royal court, and the soldiers and horses sent out can be stationed directly. When the time comes, under the pretext, the people south of Shanhaiguan will move to Liaodong, and it will only take some time, and Liaodong will be able to completely become the new land of my Ming Dynasty. ”

The core area of Daqingcheng is above the high-rise buildings that have not yet been built.

Zhu Shangbing opened his arms and waved them from time to time, his face was full of energy, and he looked like he was pointing at the palm of his fingers.

After he said what he thought of, he quieted down and looked at Zhu Yunxi fixedly.

"I'm right."

couldn't wait for Brother Xi'er's recognition and praise, Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but remind him again.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi nod again and again: "Then I will leave the matter of sending a message to the fourth uncle's Eastern Route Army to you." ”

"Huh?"

……

It is still on the high-rise building in the city that has not yet been built in Daqingcheng.

Zhu Shangbing has disappeared.

In the north of the city, there is a cavalry team, which is rushing towards Daqingshan.

Zhu Gaochi hugged the cement pillar and finally stood up.

After just two glances at the team to the north, he hurriedly lowered his head and stared at his toes.

"Aren't you afraid that Brother Bing'er will make a mistake?"

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and whispered.

Zhu Yunxi immediately shook his head and said, "He can't make a mistake." When he leaves Daqing Mountain in the north, he will only chase all the way to the direction of the Difficult River. Only when he enters the fourth uncle's East Route Army camp will he be relieved. ”

Abu only whispered on the side: "Qin Shizi is very heroic, and he only needs a few experiences in the military formation, and he is a rare general. ”

Regarding Abu Zhiyi's sudden praise, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi just glanced at it silently.

After a long time, Zhu Yunxi continued.

"There are too many generals in the Ming Dynasty."

"What Daming lacks is a handsome talent with sufficient strategic vision."

Since the death of the king of Zhongshan, the original batch of founding heroes gradually retired from the front line in old age, and there are fewer and fewer people in the Ming army who can be regarded as handsome.

King Yan can be regarded as a handsome talent, but Da Ming is too big, and one handsome talent is not enough.

As for Li Jinglong, the general of Zhengdong and Cao Guogong, who said that he should return to Yingtian City soon, he is at most a general with a bit of evil nature. And the general of the southern expedition and the founding prince of the country are often promoted, which is more like a righteous general.

There are still too few people who can really sit on one side and navigate the frontiers and outer regions.

Abu only lowered his head silently and looked at Daqingcheng, which was under construction.

According to recent events, he felt that he was very likely to become the first city lord of this city after the completion of Daqing City.

Or, he will be arranged by the imperial court to sit here all the time.

What about your Jiangnan dream?

Of course.

Ab only had to admit that he liked the atmosphere of Daqingcheng now.

When the herdsmen were able to get along with the Ming people who had migrated here, a new mode of survival was staged in Daqingcheng, which made him feel like a dream.

Such a scene has never happened in the past.

"Lone knows that King Shun'an's biggest dream is to settle in Yingtian City. But is there anything else King Shun An wants to do? ”

Suddenly, a voice came into Ab's ears.

The voice was familiar to him.

So Abu and I immediately turned around and bowed down: "Back to the grandson, the minister only hopes that the world can be peaceful forever." ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded: "King Shun'an is in the palace of Yingtian City, and I think the construction has already started. When the battle outside the pass was over, the king of Shun'an went to Yingtian with the victorious soldiers. ”

A happy smile immediately appeared on Abu Yi's face, and then he immediately retracted: "The minister obeys the order, but the construction of Daqing City will take time, and the minister will not dare to stay for a long time." ”

"Then stay in Daqing Mountain in summer and autumn, and Yingtian in spring and winter."

Zhu Yunxi said casually, which can be regarded as making arrangements for the future of Ab Zhiyi.

Then he walked over to the railing on the other side, pushed the movable railing, and strode out of the roof of the tall building to a dangling long hanging frame.

Abu only glanced at it, and immediately supported Zhu Gaochi, who had already closed his eyes, and could only let himself be led to the hanging frame.

Wait until all three of them are in the hanging frame.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi reach out and pull a rope on the edge of the hanging frame twice.

Far away.

There was a crisp bell ringing from the tall building.

Immediately after that, the whole hanging frame trembled slightly, and began to slowly descend downward.

……

The huge sails, with the untying of the ropes, began to descend slowly.

Behind the sails that had been obscuring the day, a large fleet was revealed.

Above the river outside the Heavenly City.

Ying Tianfu's official ships have already blocked the upstream and downstream.

Today is the day when the generals of the Ming Dynasty returned to Beijing at the same time.

These are two meritorious generals who are about to be promoted to the prince of the county, and the imperial court has given them enough glory and specifications.

One by one, the warships and fortune ships began to disperse and sail towards the trestle bridge at the edge of the Longwan Pier.

The two sea-swallowing beasts at the core of the fleet began to decline in speed as the sails fell.

In the end, the towing boat at Longwan Pier could only be relied on to move towards the middle of the pier and the largest trestle.

The Ming Dragon Flag, the Kaizi Flag, the Cao Flag, the Changzi Flag, the Li Flag, the Eastern Expeditionary Army Flag, the Southern Expeditionary Army Flag and other flags decorate the two treasure ships with colorful colors.

On the Longwan Wharf, there is also a flag exhibition.

Countless civil and military people in Beijing, on the orders of the emperor, waited on the dock early.

Headed by the Ming Sect's Decree, the Ming Dynasty Qin King Zhu Zhang.

By his side, there are the first assistant of the cabinet, Ren Hengtai, the second assistant Xie Jin, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the cabinet minister Xu Yungong, and the cabinet minister Zhai Shan.

Farther away, there are the founding feats in Beijing, as well as the officials of the six ministries and the five temples.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army have been abroad for several years, expanding their territory and creating countless meritorious services for the country. This time back to Beijing, the commander of the two armies was promoted to the prince of the county, which is already a sure thing.

This is the glorious moment of the dynasty.

On the Longwan Wharf, many people feel the same way, and they only feel that it is glorious.

There are also people with a little envy, and most of them are based on those founding achievements.

And the cabinet deputy Xie Jin is very unhappy today.

It's not because he wants to go out of the city and go to this dock to greet the founding prince and Cao Guogong, which makes him unhappy.

Instead, he wanted to build a railway from Luoyang to Hamiwei, which was opposed by the court. What's more serious is that this railway, which he regarded as a project in the Ming Dynasty and headed for prosperity, was also questioned by the emperor and the crown prince.

"Xie Ge, you should change your reason and lobby the courtiers and my old man."

The treasure ship on the river has not yet docked on the trestle.

Zhu Fan put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head to look sideways at Xie Jin, who had a gloomy face, and whispered.

Although his voice was small, Ren Hengtai, the first assistant on the other side, still heard it.

Ren Hengtai also looked sideways at Xie Jin, who was frowning.

He also disagreed with the imperial court starting the construction of the Luoyang-Hamiwei railway at this time.

The cost is too high, and the benefits are too unclear.

On the premise that the country has a myriad of other more important and urgent things to do, the construction of this railway should not have begun at this time, even for countless reasons.

Xie Jin, who frowned, bowed slightly, and turned sideways: "The minister would like to hear the details." ”

Zhu Fan shook his head: "At present, the war on the grassland outside the gate has just begun, and I don't know when it will end."

I heard that Brother Xi built a big green city under the big green mountain in the river area, which is another big waste place.

I also heard that there are some rumors on the Jiubian side, saying that this time they may take the opportunity to take back the Liaodong region as well.

Xie Ge, tell me, if such a large place is all in the hands of the imperial court, how much money and grain should be invested in governance? ”

Xie Jin's brows furrowed even more.

The reasons for the DPRK and China's opposition are very good and even more impeccable.

There are too many things to do for the country at the moment, and this time alone, the whole country has conquered the grassland, and almost the entire force north of the Yellow River has been put into it.

And the local government north of the Yangtze River is also operating in full force to cooperate with the military operations in the north.

Half of the country's energy is involved outside the nine sides.

At the moment, the country simply does not have the energy, nor does it have so much money and food, to do something that will not see benefits at the moment.

If you really do this, it is better to invest this money and grain in Yingzhou, and the gold and silver output in Yingzhou will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

Xie Jin had to nod and said, "Minister, I have to admit this." ”

Zhu Fan snorted: "That's right." As a cabinet minister, you have to think not only about the long-term situation, but also about the immediate situation.

But...... If you really want to build this railway, it's not impossible......"

Hearing this, Xie Jin immediately raised his head and stared at King Qin with wide eyes.

Ren Hengtai on the side couldn't help frowning, silently staring at His Royal Highness King Qin, who always seemed to be unreliable.

"Minister, listen up."

Xie Jin lowered his head.

Zhu Fan glanced back at Ren Hengtai, who was staring at him, and smiled slightly: "Shoufu don't need to panic, I, Zhu Er, am not prepared to do bad things this time and cause trouble for you." ”

Ren Hengtai was noncommittal.

The Royal Highness of the King of Qin in front of him has caused countless troubles for himself.

Just the impeachment chapter in the local area, he wiped it for Zhu Fan over and over again.

It's just that the other party is a clan relative, and it is the order of the clan's house.

Ren Hengtai still maintained a good courtesy of his subordinates.

Zhu Fan only turned his head at this time and looked at Xie Jin, who had been waiting for an answer for a long time.

"Xie Ge, this matter was not done by you in the first place. You have to create a demand for the court and the old man, only with this demand, with this necessity, can the court and the old man talk better about the past. ”

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, such an answer didn't seem to be what he wanted.

Zhu Fan sighed, and then pointed to the two treasure ships in front of the dock.

"Think about it, why did Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong lead the troops to the expedition in the first place?"
