Chapter 54: Which emperor can withstand such a test

Candlelight flickering.

A candle shadow reflected the tightly entangled bodies of Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, and the side concubine Deng.

Zhu Wei's expression was hideous, and he pinched Deng's neck stiffly, and his breath was like a cow's breath: "You jealous woman!" ”

Concubine Deng had her eyes fluttering, her waist twisted like a snake and raised her cheeks, her fingernails deeply grasped the arm of Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, and said sharply: "What am I not as good as that disaster for the country!" ”

"If you are obsessed with her, you will be killed by her sooner or later!"

"Do you know how many Beiyuan spies in Xi'an want to rescue her, and do you know how much gold her brother Timur offered to buy her news!"

Zhu Wei slammed the hand of the side concubine Deng under him, he bit his cheek and masseter muscle, his eyes burst into flames, and shouted angrily: "That's my business, I'll kill you tonight!" ”

……

……

Peiping.

A battle was interrupted.

In the palace of King Yan, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the fourth son of the Great Tomorrow, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, held an eagle letter in his hand, frowning and silent.

It is different from the beautiful beard of King Zhu Li of Jin.

Zhu Di's cheeks are broad, his eyes are narrow and majestic, and his beard is neither long nor short, and he is very majestic.

He is just twenty-two years old this year, his figure is already very burly, with broad shoulders and thin waist, tall skeleton, wearing the new cotton armor of the Ming Dynasty, he has the demeanor of a general, since he became a vassal, he not only commanded the Ming army to fight many times, but also often personally led the elite cavalry of the Ming army, wielding a broadsword to attack the Northern Yuan army, and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.

In the entire history of China, Zhu Di can be regarded as the kind that can be compared to fight, and his force value ranks in the middle and upper range.

Beside him, Xu Da's eldest daughter, Princess Yan Xu Yihua held a candle lamp in her palm, her eyebrows were beautiful, her figure was slender, her goose egg face was beautiful, her dark eyes looked at Zhu Di, and when she saw his solemn expression, she couldn't help asking, "Why are you speechless?" ”

Zhu Di smiled, turned his head and reached out to stroke the palm of Princess Fuyan Xu Yihua's hand, his long narrow eyes flashed, and said: "It's a letter from the third brother, talking about the land reform in Juntian, and persuading me to write a book with him, asking my father to suspend the land reform in Jiubian." ”

"Oh?"

As the eldest daughter of Xu Da, Princess Yan Xu Yihua and Zhu Di grew up together since childhood, and Zhu Di also learned martial arts with Xu Da, so the two can be said to be childhood sweethearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to live in Fengyang for three years, and Xu Yihua begged his father to let him go.

Therefore, in the second generation of the Ming royal family at this moment, Xu Yihua is a very virtuous princess who understands civil affairs, she thought about it for a while, and sighed: "King Jin has a very good intention, but I am afraid that it will cause my father to reprimand." ”

Zhu Di shook his head.

"No, my father is not a person who does not know soldiers, I pondered silently, it is for the matter of Juntian land reform, don't you hear that Wang Mang is usurping? I am worried that the expansion of Juntian will affect the stability of my emperor's country......"

Xu Yihua's eyes flashed and she exclaimed.

"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Lingyi moved to Haoqiang, it was because there were no five hundred miles of local tyrants, but Lingyi was abandoned, and the strong and strong rose, and the clans were numerous, and the local tyrants from all over the country annexed the good land, and the clans were established, and the children of the six towns in the Tang Dynasty were the same, as if there were six surnames and seven hopes, Juntian was a good policy, but I felt a little impatient, if I waited for me to destroy the Northern Yuan, it would not be too late to apply Juntian."

There was a hint of loneliness in Zhu Di's tone.

At the age of five or six, he followed his father Zhu Yuanzhang and his eldest brother Zhu Biao in the military camp, and Xu Da's son Xu Huizu, Li Wenzhong's son Li Jinglong, etc.

Therefore, he was sent to Beiping, which faced the longest battle line of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the greatest military pressure, and the most deep-rooted Northern Yuan power in the feudal domain, which was once the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, not to mention the Northern Yuan spies, and now there are 290,000 households in the Beiping Capital Division, of which 90,000 households are Mongolians and Semu people, these people are both civilians, monks, lamas, and Semu merchants, they can be civilians, and they can also become Northern Yuan spies to a certain extent.

The change of identity depends on what policies Zhu Di implements in Beiping.

And if it weren't for Xu Da personally sitting in Beiping and helping Zhu Di relieve most of the pressure, he might not be able to completely control Beiping in the early stage, first, the Northern Yuan still has great power in Liaodong, and the upper-class nobles of the Goryeo Kingdom have all been exchanged for blood by the Northern Yuan, and they are in collusion with the remnants of the Northern Yuan.

Now Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, has not yet become a vassal, and Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, is still a little child, and is being trained by his grandson Zhu Xiongying.

In other words, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was actually facing the pressure of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong and Yandi alone.

In order to help him stabilize Beiping, the imperial court sent the navigator Zhang He to transport grain and grass many times, and helped him hoard grain and grass by sea, and Zhu Yuanzhang also acquiesced to Zhu Di to raise military supplies in Beiping......

A war is a war, and a trade is a sale.

Even the Mongolian golden family of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, although they used knives to fight with the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, they also urged the Ming caravans to bring more bricks and tea, because they thought that the salt in the desert outside the northern region was bitter, and secretly photographed the quartermaster disguised as a caravan to buy salt in Beiping during the war, and there were many such things.

On the one hand, Zhu Di carried a knife to fight, and on the other hand, he gradually found that the sea trade was quite profitable, and as long as the trade route was opened, Beiping would have great room for development, so he also wrote many times to request that the transportation be sorted out and the Grand Canal should be repaired to consolidate Beiping.

"Although I know that this Juntian is a good thing, but I and our father's group of proud soldiers, all of them are military leaders who eat the blood of soldiers, how can it be so easy, if it is Juntian, I am afraid it will kill them."

"Yes, what other Mongolian generals ...... the Northern Yuan Dynasty," Xu Yihua also sighed.

"Wrong!"

Zhu Di shook his head.

"On the contrary, it is the Mongol subordination and the subjugation of the army, if the land reform is carried out, it will be easier to persuade."

"The clan concept of my Han family is deep-rooted, everyone is based on the clan, and the family and the country are second."

"And Mongolia, the people of the color eye, especially the Mongolian people, the nomadic hunting habits have not changed, the former Yuan emperor likes to feast, the ministers enjoy together, the steppe tribes, catch the prey, then implement the equal distribution system, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled also share, and there is no discrimination and greed, so the leaders of the steppe tribes are more respected, and the tribe supports and loves."

"If they don't compete with each other, the weak will starve to death, and there is no way to live, so they will compete for the nature of protecting food, which is difficult to change day and night."

"You look at the descendants of Mongolia and Semu in Shandong and other places, but they all worship Confucianism more deeply and devoutly, and there are many Mongolian Semu Confucian ministers, who are loyal to the country, which is the purity of Sinology."

"My Han family in the Central Plains and other places, because there are many fertile fields, you rob me to grab, human greed is more stimulated, but the essence of Sinology is lost, there are few people in Mongolia, after the land reform of Juntian, everyone has land, and the grassland tribes are like wolves by nature, they can be hungry and thirsty for a long time after a full meal, and today they will drink wine, spend money when they have money, and there is no saving custom, so they will be grateful to them Juntian, and they must be grateful to Dade, singing and dancing......"

"I have a lot of Han people, and after Juntian, there will be resentment when there are more and less, and there will be more greed after the less, and there will be changes......"

Zhu Di's brows furrowed.

Xu Yihua hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Zhu Di took out the "Emperor Ming Kanyu Wanguo Map" drawn by Zhu Xiongying himself, gently opened the scroll, his eyes flashed with a strange look, and said in a deep voice: "I inherited the Yuan Zuo in the Ming Dynasty, and since I recovered the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, if my Emperor Ming laid down the territory of the former Yuan Dynasty, there will be a wide range of fertile land, not to mention the official land of the Emperor Tian, and everyone of the Ming Dynasty can get ...... per capita land."

"Look at this map, mark the homeland of the former Yuan Dynasty, where the gold and silver are produced, where there are many fertile fields, where there are many beautiful women, and the person who drew this map is really the son of God who came down from heaven to help me in the Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Yihua turned his head to look, and sure enough, the "Emperor Ming Kanyu Wanguo Map" indicates the old land of China since ancient times, especially the territory of the former Yuan Dynasty, and the map marks all the main products in many places, especially gold and silver, fertile land, and beauties......

What emperor can withstand such a test......

"Zhu is undefeated ......"
