"Actually, you have a choice."

Yang Feng said.

"Asking for a move?"

Zhu Di sneered.

"The world is really big.

The current Ming Dynasty is indeed not small, but in the whole world, it is still a very small piece, not to mention compared with the places conquered by the Mongols, it is much smaller than the Tang Dynasty.

Even if the Tang Dynasty counted the place of the garrison, it was as far as Broken Leaves.

Where's the broken leaves?

Out of Jiayuguan and then go west, which is almost equivalent to the distance from Jiayuguan to the capital.

But this is still not the limit of the Tang Dynasty army's conquest, but the Tang Dynasty garrison, and the later Tang army's defeat of Talas had to go thousands of miles to the west, and Shiguo, a small country that submitted to the Tang Dynasty, has been moving forward.

As for the Mongol expedition to the west, this is even more incomparable, the farthest Mongol expedition to the west is equivalent to adding a descendant from the capital to the broken leaves, and there is still the rule of the descendants of Batu. Therefore, the place that Daming currently controls is really not big, and there is a vast world outside, so why not be obsessed with Daming? Why don't you go outward, just like these people in Batu, and lay down a vast territory of your own? ”

Yang Feng said.

In other words, among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, Zhu Di has this ambition.

But......

It's useless to be ambitious!

"Batu has his own people, and the ambassador wants me to open up thousands of miles with three guards? What's more, how many of the three guards are willing to abandon their wives and children and overcome obstacles with me? ”

Zhu Di said.

Ambition has to be supported!

He has an empire to support him, so of course he can start his ambitions, but now that he can't even keep his fiefdom, what can he do to be ambitious? Batu's subordinates are assigned to his tribe, but Zhu Di has three guards, and for the three guards, instead of following him to explore foreign lands, it is better to find an old relationship and transfer out the guards!

It was indeed his bodyguard.

But his guards were not his tribe, they were only ordered to protect him.

Even including spying on him.

Follow him into foreign lands?

Just those guards who had followed him for less than two years, and Huining was already abandoning him?

What a joke!

We are farmers and not nomads.

Not to mention exploring foreign lands together, even if Zhu Yunwen only had a holy decree in history, he could also reduce his guards, and even before the Jingjing, his guards ran to inform. The relationship between the vassal king and the vassal guard is not that of master and slave, the guard must be loyal to the emperor and then to the vassal king, and between the emperor and the vassal king, the emperor is their master. Therefore, when the vassal king intends to rebel, the guards must stop or even take down the vassal king as soon as possible, which is the duty of the guard, and it is impossible for such a subordinate relationship to follow him to abandon his homeland and open up foreign lands.

The farming people themselves are also different from the nomadic people who are impermanent in migration, and the Batu West Expedition is said to be a westward expedition, but in fact it is just a nomadic journey to the farther steppe.

It is no different from their nomadic herding in the eastern steppes.

But the farming people are different.

It is to abandon the fertile soil left by the ancestors and open up in the wilderness.

"That's Your Highness's own business, I'm just showing you the way, as for how to go, it's your own business, and I'm not your nanny."

Yang Feng said.

In fact, according to his conscience, Zhu Di's most realistic choice now is precisely to fight with his nephew.

Really, this is the most realistic.

Only with the backing of the Ming Empire, he has everything he is currently having, a strong army, and sufficient supplies, he can be invincible, and without this backing, he is nothing, so in this empire, he is the strongest.

He can't leave the empire.

Only within the system of this empire can he have the strength to compete with his nephew.

As for the big cake painted by Yang Feng, it is purely a real painting cake, which is meaningless to Zhu Di at this stage, there is no possibility of choice at all, and there is no time to accumulate strength now, after all, his father is seventy years old, who knows when it will be gone, and as long as his nephew succeeds to the throne, it is inevitable to cut the domain, but while his father still has a breath, it is more realistic to fight to grab the position of the prince.

Give it a go!

What if it succeeds?

Besides, even if it fails, it won't be worse.

Zhu Yunxi's cutting of the feudal domain must be carried out no matter what.

If he fails, he will cut the domain, and if he doesn't fight, he will also cut the domain.

Zhu Di stood silently on the city tower, looking at the city outside that was celebrating the victory.

"What the ambassador said earlier about the Americas is true?"

Zheng He asked suddenly.

"Ah, I'm not sleepy when you say that.

Really, absolutely really.

It is also the most convenient route to sail from Fuso, and if you are fast, you can cross the ocean in two or three months, and then go south along the coastline until you reach a very warm place, where you can go ashore and trade with the natives.

But the corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes I said are in which native tribe, this is really hard to say, I can only give you pictures of these things, they are all painted by master painters. But one more thing, my pictures are all posterity, they belong to the generations of selected breeding, as for what they are now, I don't know what they look like now.

But this is their food.

As for coming back, take the route south to Luzon and then turn back, and if the whole process goes well, it will be completed in about a year or two. ”

Yang Feng said.

It's been two years, and it's very fast to take the Kuroshio route.

Zhikura Tsunecho traveled from Sendai to Atapulko in three months.

"If you have a picture, you can always find it.

Can you tell us more about the current situation of the natives, such as the windy period at sea, and especially the diseases you mentioned, the sooner the better. ”

Zheng He said with a smile.

"Very happily."

……

"Your fourth brother is really going to fight."

On the carriage back, Yang Feng said with a deep face.

Zhu Di is going to the Americas.

Otherwise, Zheng He wouldn't have asked about these things.

Use the exploration of the Americas, bring back those new crops to make his prestige reach the peak, and prove to his father that he is the choice of destiny and the admiration of all people, but it should be more than that, after all, these are all false, and they cannot change the weakness of his strength.

Fighting for the throne is not about choosing an idol, it is really about strength.

It's useless to put on a show.

So he should have something else, and he has a deeper plan that is not yet known.

"But my father won't change people, if my father would choose him, he would have chosen him at the beginning, my father originally chose Yun Xi and didn't choose him, now Yun Xi's position is stable, and he is also very popular with the people, at most he is close to you, but these will not make my father change, my father is very good at this kind of thing, and the throne must be the crown prince."

The little princess said.

"Then it's up to him."

Yang Feng said.

It is indeed very difficult to make Zhu Yuanzhang substitution, but relying on this competition, it is necessary to unite the hearts of his subordinates and then fight when necessary, otherwise the people's hearts will really disperse. In the final analysis, Zhu Di's cronies also want to seek wealth and prosperity with him, whether he succeeds or not, he must at least let his cronies see hope, and he has to be stunned. He himself was stunned, and he didn't show any intention to fight, so his cronies were not stupid, so why should they follow him.

If you have a dream, you will follow him, and he will choose to be a salted fish who will follow him.

And the most important thing for him now is precisely to win back those cronies and re-stabilize those cronies who are wavering.

Otherwise, you don't have to wait for the feudal domain to be cut.

In less than two years, his subordinates will be completely centrifuged.

What could he do then?

Stabilizing these cronies is the only way to ensure that he has enough power, and it would be even more perfect if he could get his cronies to die for him, so he should want to go to the Americas to show his cronies that he is destined to belong......

What if we can pull off some miracles?

There is a complete possibility that Zheng He went to the East to bring some fantasy bonuses, covering Zhu Di with a layer of mystery about the return of the destiny of heaven, in the final analysis, people in this era still believe in this, which is also obviously in line with the style of Yao Guangxiao, a demon monk.

"Do you want to tell Yoon-hee?"

The little princess asked.

"Of course you have to tell!"

Yang Feng said.

It's the same whether you tell or not.

Zhu Di's return has already announced the start of war between his uncle and nephew, Zhu Yunxi knows this very well and will not have too many illusions about his uncle, but this is Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, and His Majesty the Emperor wants this effect now.

Let his son serve as a whetstone for his grandson.

Zhu Di, who is hard-working!

"Who the hell are you rooting for?"

The little princess asked curiously.

"No one supports it, who in your Zhu family is the emperor of my business, I don't have anything to ask for from your Zhu family, as long as you don't bother me, your fourth brother is eloquent, he will expand the territory when he becomes the emperor, I like to expand the territory, but your nephew is taught by me, it will make Daming more like what I hope, and I also like Daming like I hope."

But the relationship between your fourth brother and me will definitely continue the relationship between me and your father, that is, he always wants to kill me, but because he knows that he can't kill me, he can only tolerate me.

Your nephew probably doesn't want to kill me.

After all, he knows the principles of my work, but he still can't bother me, I still have to do what I like.

In short, it doesn't matter which of them is the emperor, I will do whatever I have to do. ”

Yang Feng said.

When Zhu Di becomes the emperor, it will be a new generation of Zhu Yuanzhang.

So his situation is no different from what it is now.

People can't kill him, so they have to tolerate him, but they will try their best to restrain him, especially to limit the spread of his heresies, so as to prevent him from bewitching more pure people, Zhu Di is not much different from his father in thought, and even more conservative than his father, and compared with his father, his concern for the people has decreased sharply.

Zhu Di's eloquence is roughly behind, in fact, it is also a heavy burden on the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The envoys who paid tribute recorded that there were people who died of starvation near the capital.

In the final analysis, the ambition of the emperor must be realized by stepping on the livelihood of the common people.

Zhu Yunxi is currently more economical.

After all, he has been influenced by Yang Feng and especially his aunt from the beginning, and it is impossible for someone like his aunt to make money without affecting him, and he himself likes industry and commerce, and has even begun to learn bank management from his aunt. Therefore, Zhu Yunxi will be an excellent ruler of success, and his ambition to expand the territory is definitely not as good as his uncle, and of course the economy must calculate the cost, in order to conquer a wasteland where birds don't, a huge amount of military spending is spent, which is obviously not in line with the economy.

In short, the uncle and nephew have their own merits!

"Like my father, this is really bad!"

The little princess said in a deep voice.

This is very important!

It's not just her, everyone doesn't like another emperor like her father, everyone has been trembling in the shadow of Zhu Yuanzhang for more than 20 years, and they really don't want to continue.

"Let your father hear this!"

Yang Feng was speechless.

"Ha, what do you hear, he said it himself, his own practices are because he has to be harsher after the troubled times, as for the future generations do not need to follow suit, he also knows that he is too strict that no one likes it."

The little princess said.

"Emperor, that's not for people to like."

Yang Feng said.

……

The next day, an urgent messenger sent a decree from His Majesty the Emperor, and King Yan was allowed to enter Beijing to offer prisoners.

In the afternoon of the same day, the fleet set sail while the tide was in place.

As for Yang Feng and the others, of course, they also followed this fleet into Beijing.

In fact, these are only Yang Wenbu, that is, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang naval divisions that originally participated in the conquest of the Japanese state, plus some Fujian and Guangdong warships, and the maritime naval division and Shandong naval division led by Zhu Shou are still in Fusang, after all, the war is not over in theory. Only when Zhu Yuanzhang made the final ruling on the Wa State, and the Wa State also accepted the ruling, was the war over, so a large part of the Japanese army remained in Fusang to maintain the offensive against the Wa State. As for Yang Wenbu, after completing the sacrifice of prisoners, he had to go south to Guangzhou, and after joining up with the Guangdong naval division, he began to conquer Annan, and now the king of Chu has arrived in Nanning to take over the army of Annan.

I have to say that in recent years, the Ming army, especially the Ming army at sea, has been in high-intensity operations.

Although real naval battles are rare.

To the Japanese country is to abuse vegetables, one after another warships equipped with rapid-fire guns, surrounded by cannonballs and beaten wildly.

But it does carry out the task all the time.

His Majesty the Emperor is also in a hurry now, it can be said that he is constantly conquiring, changing the steadiness of the past, he is going to lay as much territory as possible for his children and grandchildren while he is alive, and then make arrangements, which is also painstaking. However, because they always have the weapon of treasure money in their hands, coupled with the abundance of food, the people of Daming did not feel much pressure, but the key is that the cost of war is not high......

It was too easy to win.

Moreover, the problem of Japanese robbers has been completely solved, and a stable production environment has been obtained along the coasts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Especially along the coast of Zhejiang, even the fishing industry is now starting to flourish again.

"The key to Annam is the Baiteng River, as long as your fleet opens this line, the war will basically be more than half won.

But the key to the White Tengjiang River is not to be ambushed.

The north side of this waterway is steep mountains, all of which are mountains and forests, and the south side is a dense network of water like Hongze Lake, all of which are hidden waterways, so a large number of ambushes can be hidden on either side. Hundreds of miles can be turned into an ambush circle, and you don't know when a large number of enemies will suddenly appear to cut off your fleet, and you can't pursue them after they have withdrawn, after all, the pursuit is equivalent to being divided and surrounded.

Therefore, my emperor and grandson have prepared a weapon for you, which can be called a divine weapon. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Divine weapons?"

Yang Wen said with some astonishment.

"Yes, you will know when you get to the capital."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

(I found that the disease was very detrimental to my body, and even if all the symptoms were gone, my body was still slowly recovering.)

It's empty. ）
