The night was dark.

Because of the heat in Xi'an, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Biao curled up in the pavilion to sleep, here by the pool, although there are mosquitoes and flies, but pull up the mosquito net, and then light the mosquito coil, sit in the pavilion and look up at the stars in the sky, but also have a unique flavor.

"Daddy......"

Zhu Xiongying leaned on Zhu Biao's body and suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

"Daddy!"

Zhu Xiongying called again.

Zhu Biao grinned and said, "Silly boy, dad is here." ”

Zhu Xiongying stroked Zhu Biao's shoulder and said seriously: "Dad, I'm thinking about Grandma Huang." ”

In the past few days, because of the hot weather, Zhu Xiongying has been a little uneasy, worried about his imperial grandmother Queen Ma's body, maybe it is really because of the Ming Dynasty's fire virtue, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the north is no longer like the Yuan Dynasty, there are floods every month, but droughts are more frequent.

Among them, especially in the northern Shaanxi.

"Dad, you say, is Nanjing so hot?"

He leaned on Zhu Biao's shoulder.

Zhu Biao also frowned worriedly.

"I don't know, but there is ice in the palace, and your imperial grandmother lives next to Lake Biwa, so it should be fine......"

"Hmm."

Zhu Xiongying raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, he pursed his lips and asked, "Dad, who did you say sent someone to hunt down and kill my uncle?" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly.

"It doesn't matter."

"We need to recuperate for a few years now."

"Although the Northern Yuan is still a little angry, but it is no longer my Ming opponent, the longer the time, the Ming Dynasty's national strength is thriving, but the Northern Yuan has gradually become a grassland tribe, and I have no Ming to compete for the capital of the world, the golden family of the Northern Yuan, and the Mongolian princes and nobles are quite separated, and there is a feud, we don't need to worry about them, they are too close to our Ming Dynasty, as long as the Great Wall is built, and they control their lifeline economically, or it won't be long before they will break themselves, and there will be an endless stream of surrenders."

"What we need to worry about, on the contrary, is farther away, the Mirat Mongols, they are too far away from our Ming Dynasty, and the demand for tea and salt is very huge, we build the Great Wall, not only reduce the military cost of the customs guard, but also use this economic Great Wall to screen the Mongolian tribes, after controlling the volume of trade, the joy of those close to us, the farther away from us will be more and more difficult, if the Mongol tribes near us do not surrender, they will also annex these Mongol tribes near the Great Wall, Take the opportunity to trade with Daming ......"

"In today's desert grassland, whoever masters tea, rhubarb, and salt herbs, and masters the way of business, who will become the one who loses it, and they will fight themselves."

"As for the people who hunted down your uncle, your imperial grandfather will take them into the coffin."

When Zhu Biao said this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on Kuanrun's face.

"Even if your imperial grandfather doesn't do it, your father won't keep them and spoil you."

Zhu Xiongying raised his head and looked at the sky again, and said, "Dad, you said, the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother, they should also be looking at the sky, are the moons and stars they are looking at also the ones we are looking at?" ”

Zhu Biao smiled: "Silly boy, that's nature."

"Sleep, Ming'er, let's leave for Chengdu, and then go to Yunnan, meet your Uncle Muying, we have to go to see the King of Xiang and the King of Tan, and then we can take the boat back to Nanjing."

"Dad, I'll tell you a story."

"What's the story?"

"The city is full of white hair, and if you don't lose your sword, you will not lose your sword, and you will be alone for 50 years, how dare you forget the Tang Dynasty."

"This story is about the story of Guo Xin, the king of Anxi's iron-blooded county, and it is about the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, when the elite of Anxi was mobilized back to Chang'an to quell the rebellion......"

Long.

Zhu Xiongying was a little sleepy when he said it, and his eyelids were fighting.

"Daddy......"

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, I'm just calling you again."

"Good night."

……

With the Ming Dynasty Yongchang Hou Lanyu came to Xi'an.

The entire Ming Dynasty began to shrink the battle line and raise themselves.

Yanyun and the land of the Jin Dynasty all built the Great Wall Pass, and only opened a few fixed bazaars to trade with Mongolia, plus the Ming Dynasty cleaned up the collaborators in Xi'an, and the business travel gradually decreased.

However, the growing demand for tea, salt, and silk from the Mongol tribes in the northern and southern regions of the Mobei and Monan tribes, and the growing prices of the small caravans, began to force the Mongol tribes to fight each other and grab the pastures near the Great Wall in order to obtain tea and rhubarb more easily.

There's a technical term for this.

Monopoly trade.

Because the northern tribes are inseparable from all kinds of handicrafts and agricultural products of the Ming Dynasty, especially tea, the Mongolian tribes eat sand on the grassland after hundreds of years of prosperity, who can stand it.

Moreover, you can buy all kinds of tea, rhubarb, silk and salt without fighting and killing, who wants to carry your head to slash and kill?

What's more, today's Daming Dynasty is at the peak of the founding of the country, and it can't be defeated......

There is a shortage of food on the grassland, there are many Mongolian tribes who are accustomed to eating sorghum, millet and barley, wheat, simply surrendered to the Ming Dynasty directly, and were placed one by one by the post stations along the way after the payment of road expenses, all of which were divided into Yunnan and Guizhou and other places, as well as some places in Gansu, the border tuntian, also planted crops such as cumin, fragrant beans, alfalfa, etc., especially for the border army of the Ming Dynasty to plant alfalfa, the Ming Wei so will come on time in the harvest season, to buy with the Ming treasure banknote.

The strong Daming treasure banknote and strong military strength are the foundation for the Ming Dynasty to be able to maintain health for three years.

If you can fight, you can stop the war.

I have a sword in my hand, but it's not sharp enough, and when I sharpen this sword more sharply, at that time, whether it was economic or military, the Ming Dynasty was crushing the Northern Yuan, Chagatai, Goryeo, etc.

Even gave the Ming Dynasty ten years of diligent internal affairs, solved three problems, territorial base, centralization, and tax collection, which was enough to sweep the entire East and West Asia at this time.

Drought-tolerant rice seeds were introduced from Goryeo by the Ming Dynasty, and rye seeds purchased from the Kipchak Khanate were also purchased.

The Southern Health Center has started to grow cassava on a large scale, but it will take time for it to become a mature product, and it will take another year or two before it can support the Northern Health Center.

There is blue jade in the town, the officers and soldiers of the guard in Shaanxi and Gansu, can also eat the Yanyun land guard standard Jianghuai and Yunnan transported the folded ear root stem, this thing can replace the role of some tea, laxative digestion, as well as a variety of mint leaves, herb leaves, at this time because the weather is getting hotter, the rainfall in the north is less, the hay firewood is not so sufficient, and the fire oil is insufficient, so the root of the folded ear and the mint leaves are popular with the border guards, and they are sold well to the Mongolian tribes by the way......

These things in Yunnan, Guichuan, and Jianghuai Mountains in this time and space, as soon as they find a large handful, many barbarians and people, they go to pick these things, sell them to the southern guard of the Ming Dynasty, and then bring them to the north by the caravan of the post station.

The common people had economic resources, and the barbarians and the Yi people also learned to use the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty, learned Chinese, and learned to read Chinese characters......

And the major events that happened in Xi'an are far more than that.

The first is that before Zhu Biao left Xi'an, he issued an order announcing that Xi'an would be changed to Chang'an and the town of Xijing would be sealed.

Zhu Biao originally carried the jade seal of the Ming Dynasty, which was regarded as the exercise of the power of the Son of Heaven in the north instead of Zhu Yuanzhang, and this matter was also foreshadowed, otherwise the blue jade, who was the most brilliant in the third generation of the empire, would not have been sent to Xi'an.

Chang'an is the ancient name of Xi'an.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has returned to the name of Chang'an, it is hoped that it can be peaceful for the west for a long time, and it also has the meaning of reproducing the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The second thing is that the Ming Dynasty sent spies, and then invited monks and lamas, storytellers, and caravans to publicize the upcoming imperial examinations and martial arts of the Ming Dynasty in Qinghuang, Tubo, and Mobei, and welcome them to come for reference, especially those who read in the former Yuan.

Regardless of China, Mongolia, and the people of color.

However, in accordance with Chinese customs and Chinese systems, officials can be awarded.

At that time, at the beginning of the pacification of the world, Emperor Hongwu said that he shouted in the early stage to expel the Tartars and restore China, but later in order to attract a large number of Sinicized Mongolian nobles, such as Li Siqi and Wang Baobao, he also issued a special edict, and those who followed Chinese customs and Chinese systems were regarded as Chinese nations and treated equally.

This had a great impact on the north at that time, and to a great extent accelerated the great cause of reunification in the north.

Because this is a kind of legal support, just like after the Ming Dynasty recovered Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Li Shanchang to recruit people to compile the "Yunnan Chronicles".

Nowadays, the imperial examination of cultural relics does not shy away from the young people, which is a great open-mindedness, and it can even be said that it is broader than Dayuan.

Everyone praised that Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had a sage's mind.

Another far-reaching policy is to publicly persuade the emperor of the current Northern Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Tianyuan, as well as those palace nobles of the former Yuan, as well as those northern Han landlords who followed Emperor Yuan Shun to the northern desert, come back quickly, all the Ming Dynasty will pay settlement expenses, and those who are talented and have no major mistakes will choose the excellent original products to hire, but they must be assigned to Yunnan, Guichuan or Guangxi and other places to be local officials for three years, and then return to the household department for unified distribution.

This has led to some bizarre scenes in the grasslands.

The Danmen Qin merchants in Shanxi and Shaanxi jumped on various burdens, while shouting among the Mongolian princes and tribes in various places on the desert: "The Ming army asked me to bring you a message......

The Ming court stated that as long as the Northern Yuan Golden Family surrendered, they would be given preferential treatment, and the government would give them a certain amount of living expenses every year, and the prince would be crowned.

As for the Han landlords and Confucian ministers who ran away with Emperor Yuan Shun, those who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty will be appointed according to their original positions if they are talented, and those who are unwilling to be officials will be sent home with settling-in expenses, and if the family is occupied, the Ming Royal Bank will compensate them.

How can this not destabilize the north......

Can farm safely and steadily in the Central Plains, who rarely eats sand in the desert?

As a result, there was a surge in all parts of the north.

Above the desert.

This place is the big tent of the eldest princess of the Great Yuan Lu Kingdom.

The eldest princess of Lu was originally the sister of Emperor Yuan Shun, but her husband died young.

So, hundreds of thousands of acres of grassland and fertile land, more than 30,000 herdsmen, more than 40,000 slaves, all became hers, this person is knowledgeable, and Yuan Shun Emperor, long-term Sinology and Confucian education, not only proficient in Chinese, Uighur Mongolian is also proficient, the favorite is to listen to miscellaneous songs, the Great Yuan period, because the scholars can not be officials, miscellaneous songs flourished, in the north often go to the village to sing a variety of songs and miscellaneous songs, commonly known as singing big opera.

The Mongolian steppe nomads themselves can sing and dance, and because there are few people on the grassland, they don't see too many people all year round, so they like to be lively very much.

When Emperor Shun of Yuan fled to Shangdu, he did not forget to bring a large number of opera singers for playing and listening to music when he was bored on the grassland, and the entertainment life at this time was very expensive and lacking, and the Mongolian princes' love for miscellaneous songs was no less than that of the children of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and even exaggerated to say that if the reign of the Great Yuan could continue for a period of time, then Peking Opera may have been born in Beiping in the Yuan Dynasty.

The eldest princess of Lu is only in her thirties, with a wide body frame and high cheekbones, although she still has the appearance of a Mongolian woman, but she is dressed the same as a woman in the Central Plains, because she was born in Beiping.

"Are you sure, Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu of the Ming Dynasty, really allows my Dayuan's golden family to belong to us and return the land mansion to us?"

The eldest princess of the country of Lu sat on the big seat, she stood up and asked seriously, her eyes were expectant.

Da Yuan, is in the history of China, orthodox historical records, the relatively rare emperor and empress often meet with the courtiers to congratulate the dynasty, which to a certain extent also affected the later Ming Dynasty, the previous life of the time and space, Empress Zhang, Empress Xu, have been in the curtain for a period of time, and even the power is no less than Cixi.

The eldest princess of Lu has a very high degree of sinicization, she and her husband like to listen to music, when they married to the grassland, her dowry minister Zhu Wentai, brought a large number of Han books, medicines, drama and people, and also farmed on the grassland, which increased a lot of income for her and her husband, for this reason, Emperor Yuan Shun also set up a monument in Chinese and Uighur Mongolian for Zhuwentai, praising him as a model worker.

This monument was unearthed in Inner Mongolia in the time and space of Zhu Xiongying in the previous life.

"Yes, Celestia Celestia!"

Dayuan's Pingzhang, the younger brother of Wang Baobao, and the elder brother of Wang Min, the princess of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, was standing in front of the Han'er Duo palace tent of the eldest princess of Lu at the moment, and respectfully told the eldest princess of Lu about the preferential policies of the Ming Dynasty.

Tayin Timur didn't want to surrender either, but there was no way, they gave too much......

Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, personally wrote a letter to invite the Tianyuan Emperor.

Moreover, Zhu Biao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, also attached a letter to his brother-in-law, Zhu Wei, the king of Qin in the Ming Dynasty.

That's it, for the sake of sincerity.

Zhu Yuanzhang directly sent his own brother, after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, he was accepted by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as a righteous son of King Kong Nu, to deliver the letter.

Accompanying him, with a large number of supplies, there is a shortage of tea, salt, Sichuan pepper, and Taqitu Timur forgot how long he hadn't drunk tea, and used salt, milk skin, Sichuan pepper and pepper to grind in Shichun, and then burned into tea soup to drink, that taste......

At this time, the Mobei grassland was very hard.

Accustomed to living a luxurious life, who can resist the temptation of sugar-coated shells......

They give really, too much.

Timur was even more emotional, his own brother King Kongnu, not only deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang also assigned him in Quzhou, looking for Kublai Khan's invasion of the Central Plains, with the tablet of Confucius fled to Quzhou, and behind the cliff mountain, the descendants of Southern Confucius who had escaped into the deep mountains already had eyebrows.

If Zhu Xiongying knew about this, he would definitely be full of emotion.

After Yashan that year, Kublai Khan captured some descendants of Southern Confucius who jumped into the sea and did not die, and asked them to persuade the descendants of Confucius in Quzhou to go out of the mountain and assist Zuo Dayuan, but they were all unwilling and willing to be killed.

In the end, Kublai Khan could only stay in Confucius's partial branch in Shandong to sacrifice Confucius incense.

The Southern Kong Branch, which disappeared for decades and hid in the mountains of Quzhou, is now looking for them to go out of the mountains to assist the Han people, and they are actually descendants of the Mongolian Golden Family......
