Chapter 135: Zhao Min's Revenge! Zhu Han supervises the country!
The land of Liaoyang Province of Mengyuan is very large, and it can even be said that it is boundless, because Liaoyang Province is only the southernmost point of Liaoyang Province, and further north, at least it has to reach the area of the Outer Khingan Mountains, and even further north in Kamchatka Peninsula and other places, there are also many tribes under the jurisdiction of Liaoyang Province.
Zhu Han's order to Mao Gui's Northern Expeditionary Army was to subdue many local Jurchen and other tribes to the north as much as possible.
White Mountain and Black Water are a treasure land, and you must not give up because of the bitter cold.
Liaoyang Mansion is basically a fat meat that can't be run, and the focus of the entire Liaoyang Province in the future is naturally to conquer the local Jurchen tribes.
"The last general obeys!" Erhaqi immediately responded, and then said cautiously: "My lord, the last general consumes a lot of baggage, especially salt and sugar cubes, which are good things to subdue the tribes!" ”
Hearing Erhaqi's words, Mao Gui laughed proudly.
Zhu Han sent people to send a large amount of refined salt and cane sugar to the south of the Yangtze River, and many Jurchen tribes in Liaoyang Province located in the interior are all very short of salt, and they often need to exchange with the Mongols in Liaoyang Mansion with fur ginseng and other mountain goods, but the Mongols are very greedy and have always sold salt at a high price in exchange for fur ginseng in the hands of the Jurchens, which leads to the Jurchen tribes often in a state of lack of salt.
The Jurchen servant army of Erhaqi could easily gain the support of other Jurchen tribes by using this table salt.
What's more, the Ming court sent a lot of sugar!
Sugar is a good thing that has never been heard of for the Jurchens in the deep mountains and old forests, and many tribal leaders and nobles have never eaten sugar in their lives.
Such a sweet thing immediately aroused the strong interest of the Jurchens, and a pound of sugar can now be exchanged for almost ten fine mink skins.
With these two things, it can be said that Erhaqi can be invincible.
"These things you want are not a problem, as long as you work well for Daming, Ben Shuai will naturally prepare for you." Mao Gui said with a serious face.
"Thank you, sir!" Elhaqi immediately responded.
Mao Gui stroked his beard and continued: "Erhaqi, Ben Shuai has already recommended you to the imperial court, it won't be long before I believe that the imperial court will summon you to the Beijing Division, don't embarrass Ben Shuai when the time comes." ”
"What? Entering Beijing? ”
As soon as he heard Mao Gui's words, Erhaqi was suddenly surprised!
According to Zhu Han's suggestion, as long as 'Yiren' generals such as Erhaqi and Li Chenggui were promoted to official positions above the command level, they must first go to Beijing for inspection and training.
As for the purpose, of course, brainwash these barbarian generals to prevent them from potentially threatening to have a separatist side in their minds.
Show them the strength of the Ming military and political strength, and shock their souls, so that they can really serve their lives.
"Haha, Ben Shuai is optimistic about you!" Mao Gui said with a smile.
Li Chenggui, who was on the side, immediately cast a look of envy and jealousy at Erhaqi, the territory of the Jurchens is vast, and if they want to conquer the Jurchens, they naturally need a Jurchen dog leg like Erhaqi, which is an advantage that Li Chenggui cannot match.
"Don't worry, my lord, the last general will definitely sweep all the departments for the imperial court!" Erhaqi said excitedly.
If you can let Erhaqi go to Yingtianfu and see the Daming Jiangnan full of silk, sugar, gold and silver, then Erhaqi feels that his life is worth it.
The barbarian's admiration for civilization can be said to be instinctive.
It's just that when this civilized country does not have a strong force to ensure its own security.
This barbarian admiration will be transformed into greed for wealth, and then into plundering ambition.
Fortunately, today's Ming Dynasty is as strong as a tiger out of the mountains, and it is definitely not something that a ravine-ditch Jurchen like Erhaqi can provoke.
The only thing that Erhaqi could do was to help the Ming Dynasty slaughter the disobedient Jurchen tribes, and discipline those Jurchen tribes who surrendered to the Cheng to pay tribute to furs, ginseng and other products.
Daming Jingshi, Jinling Yingtianfu.
Royal Palace.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Han's opposition and ordered the construction of the Prince's Mansion for King Zhu Han very strongly.
A huge British palace rises in Yingtian City, and after several months of construction, it can be described as splendid and magnificent.
"Brother, Mao Gui sent someone to report that Nahachu in Liaoyang has been hesitant, but his son Chahan has promised that he will definitely let Nahachu stay in Liaoyang and surrender, and will not follow Meng Yuan to Mobei."
In his palace, Zhu Han was talking to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang about the situation in Liaoyang.
The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a casual dress of Songjiang cotton, and he was sipping tea with a beautiful appearance, "The affairs of Liaoyang are all handed over to you, anyway, didn't you say it a long time ago, the key to the stability of Liaodong is not in the Mongols, but in the Jurchens, Naha surrenders or not, and it is not all the same." ”
Because of the complete rout of the Mongol and Yuan courts, the Mongols in Daru Huachi Prefecture fled to the northern steppes.
However, the harsh weather conditions in the steppes are terrifying for many Mongolians.
In particular, the Mongols in Liaoyang Province are closer to each other and know the grassland environment very well, and many people are not willing to flee at all, but want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
"Hehe, the Mongols are already in full decline, and the Jurchens in Liaodong have long been frightened, as long as we use both soft and hard means, we can ensure that all the northeast areas of Liaoyang surrender." Zhu Han said with a smile.
"Mao Gui's recitals are basically for some military supplies, but he doesn't say anything about the lack of troops, it seems that he can rest assured that he can be handed over." Zhu Han continued to hold the piece and said.
The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Let's look at the baggage that Mao Gui wants, it is basically some salt and sugar, it seems that those Jurchen tribes approve of these things very much." ”
"In the bitter cold land of the Northeast, salt and sugar are life-saving things, so they are naturally suitable for buying those Jurchen tribes." Zhu Han said.
The strategy of using salt and sugar to subdue the Jurchen tribe was basically decided by Zhu Han himself.
He didn't think of it either...... These two commodities are so powerful, many Jurchen tribes are unruly, but under the persuasion of Jurchen generals such as Elhaqi, they soon accepted the jurisdiction of the Ming army, and they coveted these salt and sugar.
"These barbarians have always been very cunning, they won't eat and wipe them off, and then they won't obey orders to make trouble, right?" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became worried.
These Jurchen tribes are basically barbarians who drink blood, don't think about what loyalty, benevolence and righteousness are, they don't have this concept at all.
Therefore, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang's worries are definitely justified.
"Brother, don't worry, these Jurchen tribes must have these thoughts, but I have long thought that it is impossible for them to run away so easily." Zhu Han said confidently.
The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested, and asked curiously: "Seventy-five, tell me quickly, what are you going to do?" ”
"These Jurchen tribes are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is difficult to find their traces, so it is very difficult to rule." Zhu Han said.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, which is very reasonable.
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the cultural level of the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang is now very good, especially for the historical materials of the past dynasties, he has a very in-depth understanding.
Between the white mountains and black waters of Liaoyang Province, those barbaric Jurchens have nominally accepted the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Imperial Court since the Tang Dynasty, but only nominally.
Even in the Khitan Liao Kingdom, which has strong dominance, the control over the Jurchens is very limited, otherwise they will not be allowed to riot, and they will be served in a pot of Great Liao and Great Song.
As for the Great Yuan established by the Mongols, the ruling power was even more thin, and in just a few decades, the Jurchen tribes were restored to their own affairs, in addition to paying some fur tribute to the Mongol Yuan court, that is, some strong men were sent out as servant troops, and as for the control of the alliance, they were all gone.
Therefore, it is not too difficult to subdue the Jurchen tribes, and it is rare how to rule and restrain them effectively for a long time.
"Cang Liao is full of etiquette, these Jurchen tribes are too poor, even the tribal leaders are very poor, even if they rebel, they have no scruples, if they are allowed to live a good life of eating and drinking, and then from time to time to pinch their key points, then you can completely control them." Zhu Han said.
"And how do you control them?" The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious.
How to rule these barbarians in the deep mountains and old forests is a difficult problem that the Central Plains Dynasty has not solved for hundreds of years.
"It's very simple, on the one hand, use our strong force, configure a leading party like Erhaqi, let the Jurchen tribes see the benefits of following us, and then establish local towns, and exchange the Central Plains with salt, cotton, cloth, silk, sugar and other commodities in the hands of the Jurchens, then the Jurchens can quickly become rich." Zhu Han said.
"Get rich?! Wouldn't they be able to spend more money on weapons and equipment? If there is a rebellion, I'm afraid it will be even more powerful, right? The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.
"No, we can control the inflow of weapons and other items, and after these Jurchen tribes become rich, we will grant their noble leaders official positions, let them bring money to the Central Plains to enjoy, and slowly hand over the affairs of governing local tribes to the officials we appointed, and after a long time, these Jurchen tribes will forget their Jurchen identity and will completely live as Han Chinese." Zhu Han said.
His idea, in fact, is not his own originality, but refers to the conquest strategy of the historical Tsarist Lao Maozi.
Many nomadic peoples in Central Asia were assimilated by this set of serial methods of Tsarist Russia, and if it weren't for Lao Maozi's great greed and too ruthless oppression of the locals, so that they repeatedly resisted, Central Asia would have been built into a backyard of Tsarist Russia.
Zhu Han's method can be said to be more effective when used in Liaoyang Province.
The Jurchen forces in Liaoyang Province were scattered, and there were many contradictions between them, as long as the two methods of force and trade were used by the Ming Dynasty, it was only a matter of time before they assimilated these barbarians.
"Haha, Seventy-Five, it has to be your ghost idea! In this way, I will be able to expand the land for thousands of miles in the future! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction.
He saw the world map given by Zhu Han!
The territory of Liaoyang Province is vast, almost equivalent to half of the Central Plains.
Moreover, Zhu Han also told his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang that there is a large area of fertile black land in Liaoyang Province!
There are also gold mines everywhere, all waiting for the people of the Ming Dynasty to reclaim and excavate.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Zhu Han had a way to completely deal with Liaoyang Province, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy.
"Then the matter of Liaoyang, just do what you say, give him as much salt and sugar as Mao Gui wants." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "There is also the war in Huguang, which has been getting more and more difficult recently, we have to go and personally top it to boost morale, and the affairs here in Tianfu will be handed over to you." ”
Since Hu Dahai, Zhang Dingbian and other generals led the army to attack Chen Youliang, they have been singing all the way.
With a huge advantage in equipment and training, the Ming army quickly drove Chen Youliang's Han army out of Hanyang and retreated to the east of Kuizhou.
Chen Youliang relied on his own means, coupled with the exhaustion of the Ming army after a long battle, and let him stand firm.
"Chen Youliang really has two brushes, he is not a simple character, there are our pursuers behind his buttocks, and he also beat Ming Yuzhen away, you have to be careful with this ability." Zhu Han said with a solemn expression.
Although Chen Youliang is unpopular with the people and loves to play tricks, he is still very good at fighting with the army.
Ming Yuzhen, who originally occupied Chongqing, was beaten and fled into the vast mountains without knowing what to do before Chen Youliang did not support it for two rounds.
"Let's go to Huguang this time, the requirements are not high, as long as Chen Youliang is completely driven out of Huguang, then it is okay, first stabilize the hearts of the people in Huguang, and then slowly clean up Chen Youliang in the future." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.
As for the strategy of attacking Chen Youliang, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang basically put safety first, and the terrain in the area of Xichuan and Chongqing is huge, and rushing to achieve success will only give Chen Youliang a chance.
The strength of the Ming Dynasty is now booming, and the advantage of time is on Zhu Han's side.
"The lake is ripe, and the world is full! Stabilizing Huguang is much more important than eliminating Chen Youliang. Zhu Han also nodded and said.
As long as the remnants of Chen Youliang's forces are driven into Xichuan, then it will be difficult for them to enter Huguang further east.
"When we go to Huguang, you are in charge of the government in Yingtian, we have asked Liu Bowen, I can let you supervise the country and act as the emperor!" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
When Zhu Han heard this, he was immediately unhappy.
"Liu Bowen, this old thing, can really pit me! What kind of prison country, brother, are you going to be busy with me? Just let Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen deal with the general matter, and then come to me for a major matter, what kind of prison country, then you can't come to me for all the big and small things? Zhu Han shook his head again and again.
"Who made you our brother, brother of the tiger, we went to Huguang, you don't supervise the country, we don't worry." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang continued.
"I repeat, I don't want to be the supervisor of the country, let Biao'er supervise the country, he is the crown prince, and it is reasonable for the crown prince to supervise the country!" Zhu Han immediately said with a grin.
The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless for a moment, and said: "Seventy-five, Biao'er is only two years old!" I was still peeing my pants yesterday, how can I supervise the country? It's nonsense! ”
Zhu Han refused to give up easily, and said: "If Biao'er is still young, I can let my sister-in-law act as an agent for the government, I see that my sister-in-law is talented, and she is not inferior to Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen at all." ”
Zhu Han's words are not nonsense about his sister-in-law Ma Xiuying, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Sihai Trading Company managed by the second brother-in-law Li Zhen has become the source of wealth for the royal treasury, and under Zhu Han's suggestion, the second brother-in-law Li Zhen has now formed a situation in which the second brother-in-law Li Zhen takes care of the business, and the sister-in-law Queen Ma is in charge of the inner treasury.
The entire inner library is well organized by her sister-in-law Queen Ma, and she is completely a standard internal affairs talent.
"No, no, your sister-in-law is pregnant again just now, and she can't be tired anymore." The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again and again, for the queen's hard work, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang has always seen it in his eyes, if it weren't for Zhu Han's suggestion, he just wanted Queen Ma to have a stable husband and children in the harem, so that she wouldn't work so hard.
"Alas, that's okay, but this matter, can you keep a low profile, anyway, I'm also the prime minister of Zuo, so I don't need to have the name of the prison country." Zhu Han said.
The politics of the prison country is of great significance, and now that the crown prince Zhu Biao is young, if he is named a prison country, he may make some villain ambitions have other thoughts in the future.
It's not that I think that my brother Zhu Yuanzhang or my nephew Zhu Biao will suspect me in the future, but I am really afraid of adding unnecessary trouble.
However, Zhu Han's worries, but the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all.
"No! This prison country, you must give us the top! The tone of the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang is unquestionable, and the authority of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor is displayed very sufficiently, lest Zhu Han will not accept the prison country.
"Okay!" Zhu Han was slightly helpless.
。
。
。
Yangzhou, canal wharf, a big ship slowly left, heading south.
The cabin was very crowded.
Many men and women waited in cramped cabins to reach their destination, Yingtianfu.
Today's Yingtianfu is the master of the Ming Dynasty, and I heard that there are countless workshops and businesses that have sprung up one by one, requiring a lot of labor.
The people on this ship are basically homeless.
I went to Jingshi Ying Tianfu to get a chance to live.
Even, these homeless people are so poor that they don't even need to pay for their ferry tickets.
You only need to sign a contract and repay it after Ying Tianfu introduces the job to the shipowner.
Of course, this is not the kindness of Yangzhou's boatmen.
It is because the workshops and firms in Ying Tianfu are very short of manpower.
Every time a worker is introduced, the boatman will be paid a certain amount, which is much higher than the ticket price.
Therefore, shipowners in Yangzhou, Sizhou and other places have introduced the northern refugees to Yingtianfu in Jinling.
The air in the cabin was so foul that Zhao Min couldn't stand it...... I went to the top of the deck to breathe.
There are too many people on this ship, even on the deck, there are many people, and these homeless people are talking about their lives after coming to Yingtianfu, as if they will have a new good life when they arrive in Yingtianfu.
The corners of Zhao Min's mouth showed sarcasm, "Daydreaming!" ”
Zhao Min, who is dressed in men's clothes, is different from these homeless people, she spent real money on a ferry ticket.
As the lord of Shaomin, the king of Runan, Minmin, naturally couldn't use the original name of Minmin Temur anymore, so she assumed the name Zhao Min and began her own path of revenge.
After leaving Bianliang, Zhao Min first went to Shandong, wanting to assassinate the Ming general Qi Xiang, the chief general of the Ming army who killed his father Chakhan Timur in the Battle of Qufu.
However, Qi Xiang, who had just been promoted to the marshal of the marching capital of Shandong, had a large number of soldiers and horses, and the guards were also strict, and Zhao Min had been lurking in Jinan Mansion for more than two months, and he did not find the slightest opportunity.
Even, because of his own imprudence, he exposed a lot of treasures, which attracted the investigation of the Jinan Mansion officials, and he had to flee in the wilderness, so that he lost almost all the gold and silver.
When Zhao Min fled all the way south to Yangzhou, he used the only money left to buy a ferry ticket and wanted to go to Yingtianfu in Jinling.
"Although my father died in the hands of Qi Xiang of the Ming army, but in the final analysis, Qi Xiang is just an inconspicuous ordinary general in the Ming army, and the real main messengers are the anti-thief leaders Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, if they can kill these two traitors, it will also be revenge, and it can be regarded as eradicating a big harm to the Dayuan court, maybe Dayuan will be able to reverse the situation in the world!"
It was with this fantasy that Zhao Min began to disguise herself as a man and go to Jinling Yingtianfu.
The boat traveled all the way south, and soon followed the canal into the Yangtze River, and then sailed into the dock outside Jinling Mansion.
When everyone got off the boat, the homeless people who owed the tickets on credit were taken away by the shipowner, and Zhao Min, a passenger who paid for the boat himself, naturally no one cared, and he went wherever he liked.
Zhao Min followed the crowd and marched all the way towards Jinling Yingtianfu, and everything he saw along the way made Zhao Min more and more surprised in his heart.
Today's emerging Ming Dynasty can be described as extremely warlike!
Whether it is at sea or on land, the Ming army is attacking from all sides, Zhao Min originally thought that this Ming Dynasty was desperate for military force, and the Jingshi Ying Tianfu must be boiling with public resentment, and the land must be ruined and depressed.
Who knows, just the prosperity outside the city of Tianfu made Zhao Min stunned, it was simply more prosperous and rich than the capital, and he couldn't see the depression scene caused by the reckless military force at all.
"Zhu thief, there are really some means to bluff the people of Jiangnan." Zhao Min naturally didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers were good people, and they were all classified as thieves who committed great rape and evil, deceived and deceived the people, and let them confront the unparalleled Dayuan.
Zhao Min followed the crowd and came to the gate of Yingtianfu.
I just wanted to walk in, but I was suddenly stopped by the guards guarding the city.
"Stop! Who are you? ”
With a scolding, a guard came up to check on Zhao Min.
Zhao Min was dressed and incompatible with the homeless people, which naturally aroused suspicion.
"Master Jun, I am a scholar who came to Beijing to take the examination." Zhao Min stabilized his demeanor and said steadily.
"Scholars? Where did the scholars come from? When the guards heard this, they were immediately relieved!
Today's Ming Dynasty, in addition to the original imperial examination and new disciplines, also restored the Jingshi Taixue and Guozijian not long ago.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict that all students in the world, regardless of their age, as long as they are loyal and obedient to the people, can go to Beijing to participate in the examination, and all those who pass the examination can enter Taixue or Guozijian to study.
All candidates who are admitted to Taixue or Guozijian can eat and live for free in Beijing for two years.
As soon as the conditions were opened, many students and scholars in the world who were interested in the imperial examination, but were not prepared, flocked to Beijing to take the examination.
After all, the probability of taking the Taixue and Guozijian examinations is much higher than that of the imperial examination, so it is naturally easier.
The teachers of Taixue and Guozijian can help students improve their level and be able to take the imperial examination more easily.
Therefore, the officers and men of Ying Tianfu were not surprised by the students from all over the country who were forever entering Nanjing.
The guards of the gate of Tianfu were already familiar with these students from all over the country.
After they saw that Zhao Min was a student from Henan, they let down their guard, and after simply checking and verifying their identity, they let Zhao Min enter Yingtianfu City.
After entering Yingtianfu, Zhao Min saw that there were many shops on both sides of Yingtianfu City, and pedestrians rubbed shoulders one after another.
"The wealth of Jiangnan is really as the world says."
Zhao Min looked at the shops on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this prosperous scene could not be seen at all as a reckless dynasty Jingshi, but a happy atmosphere.
The scene in Jinling City made Zhao Min curious about the talents of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers.
This prosperous scene, if you don't have the ability, it is impossible to govern Jinling so prosperously.
When Zhao Min first arrived, he first found an inn to stay.
When the shopkeeper saw that the clothes were a scholar, he immediately asked again, "The guest officer just came to Jinling, but is it for the admission of Taixue Guozijian?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Min nodded.
"That guest officer is here today, Jingshi Taixue has an open class tomorrow, if the son wants to go, the villain can buy a number on behalf of the son, and keep a good position in the front row." Shopkeeper said.
"What open class? What is this? Zhao Min looked puzzled.
"Whether it is Guozijian or Taixue, the professors and gentlemen in it will have two public lectures every month, and anyone who buys a ticket can go in to listen to the lectures." Shopkeeper said.
"What?! Selling classes in public, this is simply insulting! Zhao Min immediately said angrily.
Although she was born in a family of Mongolian generals, she has lived in the Central Plains since her grandparents, and her father Chakhan Timur is also a well-known scholar.
Who knows, the shopkeeper was not surprised, and said: "Guest officer, you said this, the rules set by the King of England can not only allow the professors of Taixue to earn more money to support their families, but also let the students know whether they are suitable for further study, the best of both worlds." ”
Zhao Min heard that the shopkeeper spoke well, and even two idioms came out, and he was immediately even more curious.
"You say, this public lecture, or is it set by you, oh, our Ming King?" Zhao Min asked.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was immediately very proud and said, "Of course!" Our Royal Highness the King of England, who has no martial arts skills, is still a person, and he is a model of loyal ministers and good generals and relatives of the emperor! Moreover, His Royal Highness often goes to Taixue to listen to the lectures of those professors and Confucians! ”
"King Zhu Han will also go to the class?" Zhao Min immediately captured this important information.
She already knew that now that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty had gone to the Huguang front line of Chen Youliang's expedition to the west, there was only one British king Zhu Han in Jinling City.
If you go to Guozi Eunuch to learn to listen to the class, it will be very conducive to Zhao Min assassinating Zhu Han.
Zhao Min stroked the sword on her waist, she was very confident in her swordsmanship.
As long as you can do it within ten steps, you will definitely be able to get the dog head of the anti-thief Zhu Han's erection!
"That is, His Royal Highness is a celestial Qu Xing, and he often goes to Taixue, guest officer, but you want to go?" The shopkeeper looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
All students who come to Beijing to study in Tianfu will almost 100% want to listen to the open classes of Guozijian Taixue, in addition to learning many new things, they can also take the opportunity to socialize with many professors of Taixue Guozijian or students and scholars from all over the world.
Each inn will also earn a lot of money for it.
This kind of opportunity to avenge the hatred of the family and the country, of course Zhao Min will not miss it.
She gave Xiao'er five taels of silver and let her buy herself a very expensive seat for the Taixue open class.
After settling everything, Zhao Min had a simple dinner in the inn, and then walked out into the street, ready to explore the terrain of Taixue and make some preparations for himself to retreat after assassinating Zhu Han.
When Zhao Min left the inn, it was already dark.
The entire Yingtianfu City was still full of people, and all the shops were open, and there were even more men and women than during the day.
The cool night breeze blew on the street, giving Zhao Min a very comfortable feeling in his heart.
This feeling was only felt when his father, King Tsakhan Timur, was alive when his father and daughter were wandering around the market.
Now in Yingtianfu City, she has experienced this feeling, which makes Zhao Min's heart feel sour.
"Now that my father is gone, and the Great Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed in the hands of these rebellious ministers and thieves, although I am a daughter, as long as I can kill the national thieves to avenge the Great Yuan and my father, this life will not be in vain!"
Zhao Min walked on the street, secretly making up his mind in his heart.
She originally wanted to take a look at some dark corners in Ying Tianfu and look for some helpers like Da Yuan's loyalty.
However, after walking around, Zhao Min didn't notice it at all.
For the people of Ying Tianfu, Meng Yuan seems to have been a long time ago, and there is no sign of missing Da Yuan at all.
Even, on the stage of Yingtianfu Night Market, whenever the scene of 'Zhu Longxing Hongze Lake kills the Tartar Emperor' is staged, the people of Yingtianfu are cheering one by one.
When Zhao Min saw this, he was already angry and annoyed in his heart.
"These ungrateful rats, I rule the world with great generosity and benevolence, why don't they have the heart to be grateful to Dade at all."
The more Zhao Min thought about it, the more angry he became, so he went back to the inn to sleep.
Waiting until the next morning, under the guidance of the shopkeeper, Zhao Min went out and walked in the direction of Jingshi Taixue.
Because he gave the shopkeeper an extra two or five dollars of silver, Zhao Min obtained an excellent guide to Ying Tianfu.
From the second mouth of the shopkeeper, Zhao Min knew the difference between Guozijian and Taixue.
Guozijian belongs to the original Confucian classics, which are basically the same as the Confucian doctrines of the Tang and Song dynasties, and belong to the old school.
Taixue, on the other hand, is taught by all Confucian new learning, which is said to be a new learning but is also very ancient, because it is a thousand-year-old unique study of Confucius enshrined by Southern Confucius, which belongs to the new learning of 'Confucian retro'.
"Childe, now that the new students are good at being officials, it is already something that everyone knows, for example, His Royal Highness the King often goes to this Taixue class, but His Royal Highness has never been to the lectures of the old scholars of the Guozijian." Shopkeeper said.
"I see." Zhao Min replied casually.
In his heart, he was even more disgusted with Zhu Han, a big thief.
"Confucius's Confucianism is the right way, and the retro and new learning of Lao Shizi must be something that Zhu Thief has come up with to deceive people's hearts! Perhaps, it is the ghost and god heresy of the White Lotus Sect! ”
Zhao Min added a reason in his heart to assassinate Zhu Han, to eliminate demons and defend the righteous path of Confucianism.
Just as the two of them were walking on the street, suddenly a loud gong and drum sound came from behind them.
"Prison Guard!"
"Silence!"
"Avoid!"
Zhao Min didn't know what was going on, so he was pulled by the shopkeeper and retreated to the corner of the street.
"Childe, the King of England is here, stand up!"
Zhao Min then saw everyone on the street standing solemnly on both sides of the street.
"Don't you even need to kneel?" Zhao Min couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
According to the rules of the Great Yuan Dynasty, let alone the emperor and the prison of the country, even if it is a Daru Huachi in a certain state capital, the Han people on the road have to kneel to avoid it.
However, although there was no need to kneel to avoid it, King Zhu Han's travel honor guard was still on high alert, and the guard was quickly arranged.
Immediately afterward, Zhao Min saw a group of honor guards walking out of the street corner.
First of all, there are a series of flag honor guards, namely 'King Ying', 'Shang Shuling', 'Zuo Prime Minister', 'Governor of the Chinese Army', 'Prince Taibao', 'Pingzhang of Zhili Province', 'Jinyi Pro-Army Commander', 'Model Pro-Army Commander', 'Ying Tianfu Yin' and so on More than a dozen officials, the whole line of honor guards dozens of steps away.
Zhao Min's heart suddenly sank, and he said secretly: "Such a big battle, even if you reach Taixue, I'm afraid that it will be more closely guarded, relying on my sword, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed in the assassination." ”
It is also very rare for Zhu Han to travel so grandly today.
The people of the whole street also exclaimed in amazement for seeing the magnificent scene today.
Such a huge guard of honor has opened the eyes of the people of Yingtianfu.
"Your Highness, the people are very happy with such a big guard of honor today." The commander of the guards of the British Palace, Lan Yu, rode a horse next to the carriage and said.
Zhu Han sat in the carriage, and naturally saw the scene outside clearly.
"In the past two days, envoys from Goryeo, Wa, and Nanyang have come to make a pilgrimage, just to build up the momentum, and not let these small countries look down on the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Han said with a smile.
Although today's Ming Dynasty has not recovered the whole world, but with the majestic wind of attacking from all sides, it has already frightened the surrounding small countries, and one by one they are in a hurry to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, lest the Ming Dynasty be angry, so they will send soldiers to destroy themselves.
Especially in Goryeo and the Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom, which were garrisoned by the Ming army, it was even more cautious.
Zhu Han is now supervising the country for his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, so he naturally wants to show his momentum.
The majesty of the Celestial Empire, which cannot be offended, is to be brought back to the vassal kingdoms from these envoys.
The guard of honor of Zhu Han and his entourage soon entered Taixue.
The officials and teachers of Taixue all came up to greet them, and Zhu Han waved his hand so that they would no longer be rigid in etiquette, anyway, all of them in Taixue were their own people, and there were no outsiders in Fanbang.
"Xiaguan Tao Guangyi, see His Royal Highness the Prison State!"
As the mountain chief of the Ming Dynasty Jingshi Taixue, Wanhu Tao Guangyi led everyone to still complete the salute.
"Wanhu, you have lost a lot of weight, it is a big deal to study new studies for Daming, but you can't be too tired." Zhu Han saw that Tao Guangyi was black and thin, and immediately helped him up and said.
Tao Guangyi, that is, the first person of the Chinese aerospace dream, 'Wanhu', because of Zhu Han's appreciation, can be said to be prosperous in official luck, not only won the hereditary position of unifying the army of ten thousand households, but also became the only one who could be crowned an earl without military merits when he was knighted.
The credit of Wanhu is naturally a series of inventions and creations represented by the invention of military hot air balloons.
Now, under the recommendation of Zhu Han, he has become the mountain chief of the Ming Dynasty Jingshi Taixue, and has become the leader of the 'scientific school' with the name of Confucianism.
It's just that, as if it was fate, since the hot air balloon flew into the sky, Wan Hu has become more fascinated by how to fly into the sky, not only experimenting with making bigger and more flying hot air balloons, but also trying to develop other flying tools.
Zhu Han clearly knew how dangerous other flying equipment besides the hot air balloon was, so he had already sent guards to strictly guard Wanhu and did not allow him to take risks easily.
This is a once-in-a-millennium technology maniac, and he must not be allowed to be easily in danger.
"What's the lesson you're teaching today?" The group entered the Taixue hall, and Zhu Han asked Tao Guangyi, the head of Taixue Mountain.
"Back to Your Highness, today I am talking about the 'Five Elements Insufficiency Theory'!" Wanhu Tao Guangyi said.
"It turned out to be this, it's good, it's good!" Zhu Han immediately became happy when he heard this.
There is a big shackle in the history of China's native scientific and technological development, that is, the Five Elements Theory, which has been popular since the Spring and Autumn Period.
The so-called gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are used to explain all things in the minds of many people, and even derive a set of self-justifying theories.
However, Zhu Han knows the original appearance of modern technology, not to mention the vast variety of compounds, the simple periodic table of elements is definitely not a simple five-element theory that can be understood.
Therefore, after Zhu Han signed in to obtain a set of science and technology development encyclopedias, he learned it again, and then taught it to Wanhu Tao Guangyi and others, so that they could understand and play it by themselves.
Unexpectedly, in just one or two months, Wanhu Tao Guangyi has achieved such great results, and he has realized the absurdity of the Five Elements Theory.
Especially after listening to Tao Guangyi's understanding, Zhu Han was even more pleasantly surprised.
"It seems that the seeds of modern science have been planted by me in the hearts of these Ming people!" Zhu Han said in his heart.
"Alright, ready to start!" Zhu Han gave an order.
Immediately afterwards, the gate of Taixue was opened under the escort of the pro-army guards, and a large number of students and scholars who had already received tickets to attend the class lined up to enter Taixue.
Zhao Min, who was mixed in the crowd, had already been waiting impatiently outside the gate of Taixue, and when he saw that the gate finally opened, he followed everyone into the university compound.
However, as soon as I entered the gate of the compound, the guards on the side stopped everyone and asked them to keep all the swords and other weapons they were carrying.
During the Great Yuan Dynasty, ordinary people were not allowed to travel with weapons, even if they were famous scholars.
as
The establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered all students all over the country to wear swords at will, and the six arts of Confucianism are naturally both civil and military, so it is natural and reasonable for students to wear swords.
