Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi.

At this point, he was not so sad.

Even Queen Xu also had a pair of phoenix eyes at this time, with doubts.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile at this time: "The minister is worried about one thing now. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyes to look at him and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty before, Zhu Gaoxu was given too many guards, including the middle guard of the Han King, the left guard of the Han King and the right guard of the Han King, in addition, there is also the Tiance Guard, this guard ranges from 3,000 to 19,000 people, and the Han King's guard is the most, the number of the three guards of the Han King alone is nearly 50,000, plus the previous Tiance Guard, there are also 7,000 people, Your Majesty, this is the number of 50,000 or 60,000 people." ”

Zhu Di didn't say anything, he knew that Zhang Anshi still had a later text.

Zhang Anshi continued: "Now that Zhu Gaoxu has been convicted, of course his guards will not be disbanded, including Tiance Guard, I am afraid that he will stay in the capital, but the minister is thinking, these people ...... What should I do? They were originally the vassal king's guards, and they always had a future, but now they are the king's men, even if the court still lets them stay in office, I am afraid that at this time, the army's morale will be shaken, people's hearts will fluctuate, and many people will retreat in their hearts. ”

Zhang Anshi pointed out a real problem.

Yes, in the army, if the leader falls, it will be a great deal for the original military attachés in this guard.

Even if the imperial court may not pursue it for a while, it is inevitable that many people are still worried that they will settle accounts after the autumn.

If they take 10,000 steps back, if they don't settle accounts after the autumn, their future will only stop at the moment.

After all...... People have backers, but you don't have anything.

At the beginning, Zhu Di wanted to be appeased, and the Yanwang guards near Beiping responded en masse, and the fundamental reason was also this.

This is not only that King Yan has a prestige in the army, but the most important thing is that everyone understands that with King Yan, they also have a backer, and they can enjoy the shade under the big tree. But once King Yan was really captured by the imperial court, they would also be in danger.

Zhang Anshi said again: "What's more, Zhu Gaoxu has always had a lot of prestige in the army, so ...... Chen thought that it was very tricky to solve this problem at the moment. ”

Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "This is a military matter, you also have to ask?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly: "If the army has a big event, you can also do business, so the minister thought of a way." ”

Zhu Di didn't get angry, but said, "You say come and listen." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Order these guards to be stationed in Mubang, Ganya and other places, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"This time, the imperial court conquered Annan, and the army moved the people, and it was difficult to protect the nearby countries in the south, and there would be no changes. In Mubang and Ganya and other places, there are many tubangs, and many Tusi do not accept the king, and even occasionally attack our Ming army. It is better to let these four guards be stationed in Mubang and other places to take precautions. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Di frowned and said: "The country of Myanmar has always been submissive, and Namu State and other places ...... I have not yet set up a consolation department. Is it inappropriate to send troops this time? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "At the beginning, wasn't Annanguo also obedient? ”

Then, Zhang Anshi lowered his voice: "The minister heard...... To the west of Burma, there is a country called the country of Delhi, and this country was appointed as the governor of Delhi by the country of Timur, which is a vast country and is not far from the country of Burma. ”

Zhang Anshi pinched his fingers and counted Zhu Di clearly: "The country of Burma is included in the country of tribute, and the country of Delhi is a vassal of the country of Timur, His Majesty Timur knows, this country is very strong, it is a descendant of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was also a vassal of the Yuan Dynasty at the beginning, and the minister heard someone say that Timur swept the world, from Tianzhu to the west of the desert, and then to the west, no one is his opponent, and they claim to be the orthodoxy of the Great Yuan." ”

"Your Majesty...... This rounding words...... Counting up, the country of Myanmar can be regarded as a woman marrying two husbands, which is not only a subordinate of my Ming Dynasty, but also the remnants of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he furrowed his brows deeply.

Zhang Anshi said again: "When Emperor Taizu Gao, he swept through the Northern Yuan Dynasty and expelled the Tartars, but it was a pity...... The remnants of the Northern Yuan are still active all over the world, shouldn't Your Majesty inherit the will of Emperor Gao today and sweep away the remnants of the Northern Yuan? ”

Zhu Di actually felt reasonable.

But...... He is the emperor, in fact, everything is justified.

Zhang Anshi continued: "The three guards of the Han Dynasty and the Tiance Guards are now in chaos, and if they are rashly transferred to Mubang and other places, I am afraid that they will be afraid. I thought it was ...... To be elected as a good marshal not only stabilizes the morale of the army, but also relies on the courage of this person ......"

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi deeply and said: "You are not afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain, this rebel has always wanted to be Li Shimin, and even wants to follow me!" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled: "Minister...... No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his ministers actually have some considerations, and the key point here is that he stationed troops in Mubang, where there are many Tusi and Han barbarians living together, not to mention that there are countries such as Burma and other countries in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty...... This is the key to this, Your Majesty left the King of Han in the capital, and the King of Han is not willing to live under people, so he will naturally have different aspirations. Even if he is placed in other places in Chengping in the three capitals and thirteen provinces, he will not be willing to be lonely, and it is reasonable to have a plan. There is a kind of person in this world, called the Troubled Hero, who is born to toss, if he doesn't toss for a day, his bones will be itchy and unbearable, and he will not be comfortable for a day. ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi said again: "But what if Your Majesty will settle it in Mubang and other places?" At this time, the countless toasts, as well as the alien enemies in all directions, were enough for him to toss, not to mention that if he wanted to sweep away and pacify the local thieves, he could not supply his military horses with just Mu Bang and other places, and at this time, in order to destroy the enemy, he had to constantly ask the court for food. ”

"He is there, the biggest advantage is nothing more than two things, one is personal bravery, the other is the support of the court, if the court does not support him, his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can not be maintained, it is inevitable to fall apart, the king of Han is a person...... He has a stubborn temper and naturally refuses to admit defeat, but if he wants to win, he has to maintain a good relationship with the imperial court...... Now the household department ...... Whose duty is it? ”

Zhu Di was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Prince! ”

Zhang Anshi smiled: "In this way, the contradiction is changed, in the capital, the King of Han has no other enemies, and he will naturally be jealous of His Royal Highness the Prince." But in Mubang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is his backer, and the life and death of tens of thousands of his tens of thousands of people have to rely on his brother to survive there. ”

Zhu Di's face sank, and he put forward an important point: "What if he rebels there?" ”

"What rebellion?" Zhang Anshi said: "When Jing was in trouble, His Majesty sent troops, and the imperial court sent a large army to attack Beiping, and the soldiers and civilians up and down Beiping were united in their efforts to defend the city. And what about that place? If the king of Han dares to rebel in Mubang and other places, his soldiers are only afraid that the front foot will go out of the city, and the local Tusi will serve him with the back foot. ”

"The King of Han is a brave general, and the minister thinks that the King of Han is also deeply loved by the soldiers. And at this point, the minister thinks that His Majesty has not used him in the right place. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, he stood up, paced back and forth, his eyes flickering brightly.

And Queen Xu's eyes also seemed to have a little light.

After Zhu Di groaned, he suddenly stopped: "This rebel, it's not a pity to die, after all, what he committed is a heinous crime." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Didn't Your Majesty already depose him as a commoner?" ”

Zhu Di said: "If he is abolished as a commoner, how can he be allowed to march and fight?" ”

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "These four guards can be given to the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanyan, nominally the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanyan is the main master, and the king of Han is just as a father and acting as the governor." ”

Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and said suspiciously: "Why do you still say good things for him at this time?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly: "There is no way for the minister, but my brother-in-law still regards King Han as a brother, and my brother-in-law values family affection the most, and I happen to be very affectionate, so I can't bear to see my brother-in-law sleep and sleep." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh, and said with red eyes: "Hey...... The prince is really a good brother, but it's a pity...... There is a rebel like Zhu Gaoxu. But Zhu Gaoxu's crime ......"

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister and several brothers have already beaten him, he has beaten me, and I have beaten him now, and I don't owe each other." ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "After all, I still wronged you." ”

"It's not about grievances." Zhang Anshi smiled.

And he was thinking in his heart that it would be great to have a demon king like Zhu Gaoxu. The only way for the Ming Dynasty to go to the West and really want to formulate a strategy that can never be reversed is to wedge the influence of the Ming Dynasty deeply into the Western countries.

The imperial court sent any minister to negotiate with the Westerners, but it was afraid that it would be a painless appeasement strategy, and it would not make much sense except to maintain a tributary trade.

But Zhu Gaoxu is different, this guy is the demon king of the mixed world, he is simply the contemporary Lu Bu, there is such a person, and he began to enter the hinterland of the West with soldiers, what will happen?

I'm afraid that the order of the entire West will collapse.

By then......

For Zhang Anshi, there is nothing more important than going to the West.

Because what Zhang Anshi is worried about is that even if the Ming Dynasty can continue, Zhang Anshi's descendants can still follow the Ming Dynasty to eat and wait for death, but once the real maritime colonial empires appear, if they still pursue the policy of prohibiting the sea for hundreds of years, then in front of the strong ships and cannons, everything will be turned into powder.

And Zhu Gaoxu is the most important chess piece that Zhang Anshi has planted for the future.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was released today, part of the reason was for his prince's brother-in-law, but more of the reason lies in this!

At this time, Zhang Anshi said again: "The minister has no grievances, the minister thinks that Zhu Gaoxu is a person with great ambitions, and this great ambition should be used in the right place, put it in the capital, and this great ambition will become fratricidal, but if it is placed outside the territory of my Ming Dynasty, won't it become a screen to defend my Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Your Majesty...... The minister thought that instead of being a vassal king, it was better to follow the method of the Zhou Dynasty and build a large number of princes. This week...... There are 800 years in the world. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Di seemed to understand what Zhang Anshi meant, and he smiled and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's solve Zhu Gaoxu's rebel son first." ”

After that, he looked at Queen Xu: "How?" ”

Empress Xu couldn't help but glance at Zhang Anshi, and finally a smile appeared on her lips: "The prince is a person of filial piety, and Zhang Anshi is a person who understands the general situation, Your Majesty...... Why don't you give it a try? ”

Zhu Di sighed: "I'm afraid that this kid will be stubborn." ”

"It's easy to do." Zhang Anshi said: "It's better to escort him to Qixia, after all, the minister is the chief of the six Confucians in the capital, educate him for a few days, and he will definitely be able to repent." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Queen Xu said: "This palace is only for this child...... No, other things, this palace doesn't want to ask, Your Majesty, according to Zhang Anshi's method, give it a try. ”

Although she said this, she also knew that for now, she could only do this to this rebel.

That's the best outcome.

Zhu Di bowed his head, and then looked at Zhang Anshi again: "Isn't what you just said about trading?" ”

"It's a good deal." Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty can wait and see, and ...... in the future We will be able to make a lot of money from the King of Han. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

After playing against Zhu Di, Zhang Anshi led the three guys away.

When Zhu Di saw Qiu Song's unruly appearance, he always felt disgusted, and he couldn't wait to kick his feet on behalf of his father.

As soon as Zhang Anshi left, Zhu Di sighed: "After all, I still wronged Zhang Anshi......"

Empress Xu nodded and said, "In that case, then Your Majesty should think about how to give some rewards." ”

Zhu Di thoughtfully: "I think about it again." ”

…………

Although Zhu Gaoxu has not been tortured these days, where has he suffered such humiliation and pain?

Just when he was physically and mentally exhausted, a prisoner cart escorted him out.

And standing next to the prisoner car was Ji Gang.

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu saw Ji Gang, he shouted: "Ji Gang, are you treating me so slowly?" ”

Ji Gang didn't respond, and even kept looking ahead, and his eyes didn't fall on Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu, who felt neglected, said angrily: "Ji Gang...... The king of Japan treats you well, and today in this edict, you will put this king in prison, good, good, you are very righteous. ”

Ji Gang still looked indifferent.

He seems to have known that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, has been completely finished.

Even if he can survive, he will have nothing to do with the throne in this life.

He was surprisingly cold, and he still didn't look at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu scolded endlessly, and was directly pulled away by the prisoner car.

Ji Gang still had no expression on his face, and finally led the people away.

Zhu Gaoxu was immediately locked up in a house, and someone shackled his hands and feet.

The house was small, covered with green bricks on all sides, the courtyard walls were high, and there were guards everywhere.

There is only a small hall and a bedroom.

It's very basic.

The only thing that makes the difference.

It's a huge map.

There are a lot of markings on the map.

However, it is not only in the Guannei, but even from the desert to Timur in the West and even farther away, it is also marked.

Zhu Gaoxu was bored, and in the end he could only stare at Yutu in a daze.

After all, he had fought for many years, and soon discovered that this map was somewhat similar to the military map.

And he actually found that Da Ming was not all-encompassing in this map, but ...... It's a little 'small'.

In this small territory of the Ming Dynasty, he found the city of Nanjing and Beiping, so he sat in a daze every day.

No one paid attention to him, and the daily diet was simple.

Of course, there were occasional visits to him.

For example, the one who came today is Wang Ning, the concubine.

Wang Ning is Zhu Gaoxu's good brother.

However, at this time, he didn't want to come, and the fool knew that Zhu Gaoxu had completely lost his position, and there was no possibility of a turnaround.

Wang Ning was not stupid, he only needed to look at Ji Gang's wind direction to know what might be going on in the palace.

That Ji Gang was very taboo about this, and he had completely dissociated himself from Zhu Gaoxu, and even a few people recommended by Zhu Gaochu to go to Jinyiwei at the beginning, but now they have also found a reason and directly dismissed them.

Wang Ning immediately realized...... All those who are close to Zhu Gaoxu are afraid that they may be killed in the future.

Thereupon...... Just in the midst of anxiety, the East Palace invited Wang Ning to Qixia and hoped that Wang Ning would visit Zhu Gaoxu.

This Wang Ning's face changed, didn't he deliberately want to fix him?

But the meaning of the East Palace, he had to follow, so he had to tremble and follow the person who led the way into this house.

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu saw Wang Ning, he rushed forward and cried immediately.

"Wang Ning, this king knows that you will definitely try your best to visit me, our friendship for so many years has not been in vain!"

Wang Ning saw that Zhu Gaochu was pulling his sleeve and didn't let go, so he immediately turned cold, and immediately said: "Zhu Gaoxu, you are no longer the prince of Zong, how can you claim to be the king?" Do you know how taboo this is? ”

Looking at a cold face and listening to words without the slightest emotion, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Wang Ning in disbelief.

Wang Ning continued ruthlessly: "Look at the good things you have done, Your Majesty has been extra kind to you if he didn't kill your head now. I never thought that you were such a person, if I had known, I would never have been close to someone like you. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was already an irritable character, and immediately said: "Wang Ning, what did you say at the beginning, you said that among all the princes, only this king is the most talented, and he will be the master of the Ming Dynasty in the future." ”

Wang Ning was startled, he was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he immediately scolded: "Fart, when did I say such a thing, now, death is coming, you still dare to say such a thing?" Don't you think it's ridiculous that you mayflies shake trees and praying mantis block cars? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's body trembled, and he looked at Wang Ning with wide eyes, his eyes overflowing with disbelief.

He had many good brothers, many of whom came out of fighting and enduring hardships on the battlefield with him.

It's just like Qiu Fu, because of Qiu Song's matter, he later stayed away from him.

And Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, also began to deliberately keep his distance.

But what he didn't expect the most was that Wang Ning, who was closest to him, actually showed the most obviously.

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Heh...... It turns out that you have come to humiliate this king, get out, get out of me. ”

"Do you think I'm willing to stay here longer? It's just a matter of seeing if you're dead. Wang Ning said, didn't say anything, and walked away directly.

Zhu Gaoxu was only so angry that his liver hurt, he couldn't imagine that those who surrounded him at the beginning, praised him as a saint every day, and everyone said that he was Li Shimin, and he regarded them as his 'Fang Xuanling', 'Eldest Sun Wuji', and 'Wei Chigong', but now they seem to have disappeared.

Some are just alienated and disgusted.

Zhu Gaoxu was in a daze and stayed for a few more days.

Batch after batch of old brothers, old subordinates, and even the eunuchs who waited for him in the Han Palace, also came.

But almost everyone was insensitive, as if they could only be freed by humiliating him.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was arrogant in the past, seems to have suffered psychological trauma again and again.

That Zhang Anshi just hung him and beat him.

Even the people who touted him the most in the past now treat him like shit.

He was in this little cave in a daze, tossing and turning every day.

Or just look at the map stupidly.

Finally......

Even Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how many days had passed.

But four familiar people appeared in front of him.

Zhang Anshi took the lead, and the three murderers in the capital followed.

When Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhang Anshi, he immediately roared angrily: "Zhang Anshi, you dog thief. ”

Zhang Anshi laughed: "Haha, Zhu Gaoxu, you still dare to be arrogant in front of me?" In my opinion, you are healed and forgot the pain. ”

As soon as he said about the scars, Zhu Gaoxu remembered the last time he was blown up, and he suddenly became angry, staring at Zhang Anshi and said: "If you teach me to cultivate my spirit, don't say that you are the only one, that is, you will go together, and this king will also crush you into pulp." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "What is this, the girl of the Xu family can smash the table with a slap, you are a class with an axe." ”

Zhu Yong said in a timely manner: "The girl of the Xu family is our sister-in-law. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "You haven't passed the door yet, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhu Gaoxu naturally knew who the girl of the Xu family was talking about, and when he heard Zhang Anshi humiliate himself with a little girl, this Xu Jingyi was his cousin, so he was even more angry: "Come on, you have the ability to ...... it."

Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "Brothers, deal with this dog thief, don't talk about morality... Give it all to me. ”

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

He was shackled to his hands and feet.

The three of them had already flown in on them.

Then he was beaten mercilessly.

Zhu Gaoxu cried.

He could not bear such humiliation.

The other party doesn't talk about martial arts, and he scolds and scolds after the fight.

Zhu Gaoxu howled and cried: "I am a tiger today...... Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs...... Remember...... He will pay back ten times a day. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Do you still want to fight?" I can give you another chance to go head-to-head with our three murderers in the capital. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was furious: "The dog thief ......"

At this moment, there is no need for Zhang Anshi to greet him.

Zhu Yong rushed forward all of a sudden, and there was another violent beating.

It's just that this Zhu Gaochu is so hard, thinking that he was so insulted, and then thinking of what happened these days, he wiped his tears, laughed wildly: "Okay, fight well, in the future, this king will break your body into ten thousand pieces." ”

Zhang Anshi waved his hand and signaled Zhu Yong not to be reckless.

He sat down and sighed, "Forget it, you are also my sister's uncle, and you are a member of the family, why do you bother?" You can't beat me. ”

"You four ......," Zhu Gaoxu roared with bared teeth.

Zhang Anshi sighed: "The four of us are like one person, anyway, it is the same meaning, it doesn't matter if you accept it or not...... The facts are right in front of you. ”

Saying that, Zhang Anshi looked up at the map, and saw that there were traces of being picked up in the north direction of the map, Zhang Anshi said: "What did you do to the map, my God, you are still not a person, this map is newly made by me, you do such a thing to it?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was furious, and was about to turn his lips at him.

However, he was very sad, and said that the man did not flick when he had tears, but at this time he was really sad. This burly guy, his body twitched one by one, and the grievances of the world seemed to have suffered all the grievances.

Zhang Anshi frowned, and continued to point to the map: "You said, this Myanmar country has 100,000 mountains, but the place near the sea is a flat river. Here, it is natural to guard against my Ming Dynasty, no wonder the territory of the Celestial Empire has to stop here, these mountains and rivers must be very powerful. ”

He muttered a bunch of muttering.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help it, and scolded: "What toast, you know a bird, this is just a rabble, if you want to use soldiers to deal with them, it is like cutting melons and vegetables." ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "No, there are too many mountains and rivers here, there are passes everywhere, and the local natives are attacked, so I am afraid that they will immediately hide in the mountains, and then they will continue to harass and hijack the grain road, and within a few days, they will be trapped to death." ”

Zhu Gaoxu stopped crying, looked at him with a sneer, and said: "Having said that, if you are a mediocre person, of course you will be taken advantage of by them, but it is not easy to deal with them as a real general?" Such a rabble, as long as there are enough men and horses to divide and trap them, and then specifically pick those who are unruly, other tribes can slow down the attack, those who are not convinced, as long as they are willing to use troops, with ten surrounds one, directly attack, and kill this stubborn up and down, the other villages will be afraid of less than half a year, and some people will beg to surrender. ”

"Marching and fighting, it is not your despicable and shameless means, relying on who is more courageous, as long as you are willing to spend money and fight in one place, the rest of the people, seeing the stubborn end, will inevitably be heard, unable to form an army, and frightened."

Zhang Anshi said: "Really? In this case, how many people do you need to do it? ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to think about it and said: "More than 100,000, less than 20,000 or 30,000, the soldiers and horses are different, and the fighting style is also different. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "What if there are 50,000 horses? ”

Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "50,000 horses, you can guard the main roads everywhere, so that the mountains and rivers everywhere can not be connected to each other, find out who is the strongest and have the hardest bones, and gather 10,000 or 20,000 elites, even if you sacrifice 2,000 or even 5,000 people to attack his stockade directly, as long as you step on this stockade, it will definitely be worth it." ”

"As for the other villages, when they see that the top and bottom of the village are slaughtered, they will be afraid that the next one will be their turn, they will be divided from each other, and they will not be able to effectively unite, and the convenience of this mountain and river will be in our hands."

Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "Sacrifice thousands of elites? Wouldn't that be too ruthless. ”

"Ci is not in charge of the army." Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhang Anshi with disdain: "The people who control the soldiers and horses, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are chess pieces in your hands, and you can't even give up a few thousand, you might as well go home and hug the doll." ”
