Huining.

C-shaped fort in the reclamation area.

Of course, it has to be castle-like, after all, even if you don't defend against those tribes, you have to guard against wild beasts.

Huining in this era is really a Siberian tiger running all over the ground and blind people enter people's homes, and so far the biggest accidental casualties of Yang Feng's reclamation team are all caused by these beasts......

Especially in winter.

"I really didn't expect that I would live longer than him."

Zhang Dingbian stood on the rammed earth city wall, looking at the white expanse outside, in the ice and snow at minus 20 degrees, there was a Siberian tiger roaming, they did not dare to come over in other seasons, but the reclamation team members basically did not go out in this season. However, there are some soybean sorghum and other remnants in the harvested farmland, so there are many hares and the like, and fierce beasts that cannot find food in the mountains and forests often roam these fields.

So far, the population of the reclamation area has exceeded 40,000.

A large part of them are actually slaves.

After all, it is becoming more and more difficult and expensive to recruit reclamation team members in the interior, but it is extremely cheap to buy a slave and maid in North Korea, and it is even cheaper to buy a slave in Korea.

Of these 40,000 people, 400,000 acres have been reclaimed.

Although only soybean sorghum can be grown, it also gives the land a fertile appearance, especially in autumn, when it is really soybean sorghum all over the mountains. Now that the sweet potatoes have been obtained, they can be grown here on a large scale, and those poor Korean and Japanese slaves finally don't have to boil beans in salt water and eat sorghum noodles.

They can eat sweet potatoes now.

Ambassador Yang has always cared for them in such a meticulous way.

Of course, the genuine employees have been eating rice and a small amount of wheat from the south, and the merchant ships that went north to pull soybeans all carried rice north, which supplied the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians under the command of the embassy of Hoeryongdu. Moreover, because of the herdsmen and the fishermen and hunters, the milk is convenient and the game is cheap, and the two sides form a good symbiotic relationship with the grain and iron tools needed by the latter, and a complex of farming, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting is gradually forming. Especially those shanty people in the original northwest of Jiangxi, or the old thieves, are quite comfortable here, and all the old immortals have learned to buy Korean and Japanese women, and they have a second spring here.

"Are you still ambitious?"

Yang Feng said.

"Even he's dead, what ambition can a half-cut man like me have.

It's like the one you sang.

Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ”

Zhang Dingbian said a little gloomily.

Obviously, the death of his old opponent made his ideals disappear, he was nothing more than unwilling, Zhu Yuanzhang stood there like a sign, and then he rushed towards this sign.

Push him down.

But now......

The sign turned into dust on its own.

He stood there blankly, looking at the already empty ahead.

Ideal?

Gone!

"Half cut into the ground, go back and recite your scriptures in peace!"

Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said.

Almost at the same time, the watch on his wrist rang, and he quickly withdrew his hand and connected to Sister Liu under Zhang Dingbian's gaze......

"Your Royal Highness the princess just asked me to inform you urgently, Zhu Yunwen escaped from the capital, and he currently knows where to go, the only thing he knows is that he should be with Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng, they were dismissed by the new emperor and were stranded in the capital before, but on the same day that Zhu Yunwen disappeared, they also disappeared, and she told you to return to the capital quickly."

The latter said.

"Uh, that's going to get him running too?"

Yang Feng said in amazement.

In order to have emergency contact tools, he left a watch for the little princess, Zhang Ying, and green slave.

But he can only contact urgently, after all, he can't charge after he leaves, and he can't contact him, so he can only contact Sister Liu first, and then the latter will contact him.

"It is estimated that there are still people with them, the princess said that it is likely to be Qi Tai, Qi Tai has not been dismissed, and he is still the secretary of the military department, if he cooperates, then it will be easier for Zhu Yunwen to escape. Obviously, after Zhu Yuanzhang's suppressive mountain was gone, all forces in the Ming Dynasty did not think that the new emperor had the ability to be the same as his grandfather. In addition, the king of Yan has made peace with the king of Su and rushed to the capital, and the king of Chu has also gone north to prepare to meet with the king of Xiang in Wuchang first, and then enter the capital together. King Zhou is also rushing to Xi'an, it is said that he and the two kings of Qin and Jin are also going south by Wuguan Road, presumably also to Wuchang, and Her Royal Highness the princess suspects that they may have to discuss something together. ”

Sister Liu said.

"What can they discuss? Partnering? Could it be that they are confident that they can defeat Blue Jade? Or are they confident that they can defeat the Divine Machine Battalion?

Without Zhu Di's participation, they would be a group of scum who were trampled on by Lan Yu. ”

Yang Feng said.

In fact, this situation is inevitable.

Lao Zhu's coercion disappeared suddenly, and the new monarch's various policies turned to apostasy again, if no one wanted to make trouble, it would be strange, the civil officials were dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxi's new ideas, and the clan was dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxi's reforms......

He has already decreed.

It's the previous design, either each vassal king gets a fief and then lives on his own in the fief.

If you earn more, you will have fine clothes and food, and if you earn less, you will be diligent and thrifty.

or enter Beijing to receive Yulu as a public servant.

But each vassal king fixes a fixed amount of money every year, and it will always be this number in the future, no matter how many children and grandchildren are this number, the court will not add a sum of money to them, and you will find a way to make money to feed a large family in the future!

That is, the army supports him.

But the problem is that the army supports him only because he is the legal heir, in fact, the army prefers King Yan, after all, the army recognizes the merits of war, and King Yan is invincible, and in less than ten years, he has expanded his land for thousands of miles, from Fusang on the eastern sea to the Western Regions, and he has surrendered everywhere he passes. This is what the army really respects, and unlike Zhu Yunxi, who likes new reforms, Zhu Di follows his father's set, in fact, it is more accurate to say that Zhu Di is better for hereditary generals. Zhu Yunxi was too deeply influenced by Yang Feng in this regard, or knew about the erosion of the military household system in the future, so he did not agree with maintaining the current hereditary general system, and he preferred to carry out preventive reforms.

Of course, just inclination.

After all, he still needed military support to succeed smoothly.

In short, it is difficult to say that this emperor is unanimously welcomed by the civil ministers and military generals.

But......

They don't dare to rebel.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor has a firm grip on the Divine Machine Battalion.

This legion, which has been regarded as his Imperial Forest Army since its establishment, is enough to suppress all unrealistic illusions, not to mention that he still has Lan Yu and Chang Sheng.

If they don't like him, they don't like him, they don't like Zhu Yuanzhang.

They don't like it much.

Their dislike for Zhu Yunxi is always no more than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, right?

They can kneel in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, trembling like elves serving the evil dragon, of course, they can also kneel at Zhu Yunxi's feet, let him trample on themselves, they are all very sensible people, as for now, it's not a big deal, it's nothing more than Zhu Yuanzhang just died, the mountain on their bodies is suddenly gone, and they are relaxed all of a sudden, they feel that they can run and jump, and they have a little rebellious period, and they will learn to adapt to the new monarch when they go back and wait for Zhu Yunxi to kill a few.

This kind of thing is normal.

After all, they have been suppressed in the shadow of Lao Zhu for thirty years, and they are suddenly liberated, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to control themselves.

"You tell her, just look at things that have nothing to do with our family, what can these people do? A group of strong-mouthed people turned around and were hacked to death, and they all obeyed. ”

Yang Feng said.

Next to Zhang Dingbian thought so.

However......

Half a month later.

"The strong man you said took Zhu Yunwen to escape the pursuit of the imperial court, ran all the way to Jingzhou, and then knelt in front of nearly 100,000 people, knelt in front of the door of the Xiang Wang's mansion, crying and begging the Xiang King to save him. Crying and crying, he complained that his brother had been framed against him, imprisoned him, prepared to save up another crime, and then gave him poisoned wine.

The king of Xiang had no choice but to order someone to bring him into the palace first.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunxi issued an edict asking the king of Xiang to send him back to the capital immediately.

But Zhu Yunwen continued to cry.

And said that instead of being sent back to the capital and being framed and killed by his younger brother, it was better to throw himself into the river innocently, as long as the king of Xiang dared to send him back to the capital, he would jump the Yangtze River halfway, so the king of Xiang had to play and say that he did not dare to forcibly send him back to Beijing like this, Zhu Yunxi had already ordered the Shenji battalion to guard the Jinyi guard and command Song Zhong to Jingzhou to bring back his brother. ”

Sister Liu somewhat gloated and told Yang Feng, who was hunting.

The latter is fighting the Tigers in hand-to-hand combat......

"Playing so big? How do I smell a hint of conspiracy? ”

Ambassador Yang got off the tiger and wiped his hands like a scumbag who had finished venting.

The poor tiger twitched and bled from his mouth and nose.

The reclamation team members next to them hurriedly rushed up to kill the tiger.

Because there are too many fierce beasts such as tigers, bears, and blind people in the vicinity, and it is easy to endanger children, so the idle and boring Ambassador Yang took them to search nearby, and it was all exercise.

It allows the reclamation team members to eat tiger meat.

Indeed, this matter is being hyped up by the people, especially in various parts of the south, and there are even a large number of folk tabloids describing how the emperor framed his brother. Moreover, the king of Chu had already arrived in Wuchang, and he played in Wuchang, saying that the emperor had better issue an edict to the world, so that the people of the world could understand that they were still brothers, friends, and brothers, and that the escape of the king of Guangze was just out of a misunderstanding. In addition, it is best to quickly give the king of Guangze County a vassal king, so that the latter can rest assured, after all, now that the funeral of Emperor Daxing is imminent, the spirit of Emperor Daxing in the sky cannot be disturbed.

I suspect that among these vassal kings, someone is manipulating behind the scenes, and Zhu Yunwen's escape was planned.

Especially to the king of Xiang.

He has a very deep relationship with Zhu Di, because at this time Zhu Yunxi is very dissatisfied with the King of Xiang, and he is currently the closest to the capital among the vassal kings.

In this way, it depends on the king of Xiang.

He's a very sensitive person, don't forget that he committed suicide in the original history.

If he commits suicide because of this, it will become Zhu Yunxi's forced death.

What would Zhu Di think?

What would the other vassal kings think? ”

Sister Liu said with a smile.

"Tell the princess, just watch the play, this is not Zhu Yunxi's business at all, but the vassal kings want to create an opportunity to share the same hatred, and then attack Zhu Yunxi together."

Yang Feng said.

"But now the four kings of Yanjin, Zhou and Chu have all been arranged in advance by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the rest is nothing more than some, well, there are indeed a lot of left, Qin Shuxiang, Suqing, Liaoning, Han Dynasty, Gu Min, and more than a dozen, Lao Zhu can give birth, this is not a feudal domain. By the way, King Yan has already arrived in Lanzhou, and Suqing Wednesday Wang will make peace, in addition, Liao Hanning and other kings have already entered the customs, they are in Beiping to make peace, this matter is indeed a little wrong, they all bring guards, although the number is certainly not much, but a few will be reconciled to a lot.

What's more, it's all elite.

Zhu Di himself alone brought a thousand heavy cavalry to guard, and there were also 3,000 soldiers from various departments who paid tribute together.

If they suddenly attack and control Xi'an, Chang Sheng may not be able to suppress it.

He was too far away from King Yan.

Zhu Di ordered in Xi'an, and the soldiers there were afraid that they would listen to him instead of Chang Sheng. ”

Sister Liu said.

"So, let's just watch the show."

Yang Feng said.

But Zhu Di's real goal should not be to seize the throne, but to weaken his nephew's authority, but it may also be that he is being designed by others, after all, Zhu Di cannot complete a conspiracy thousands of miles away in such a short time.

"Let the princess pay attention to King Xiang."

He said.

"You say he's playing a bitter trick?"

Sister Liu said.

"He wants to stimulate Zhu Di, he wants Zhu Di to be the emperor, but Zhu Di already wants to quit, he is likely to deliberately make all this to stimulate Zhu Di, if Zhu Yunxi is really not good for him, it is likely to anger Zhu Di."

Yang Feng said.

Zhu Bai is a bit paranoid......

He has no children, although it is said that two daughters have died, but there are no more so far, it is possible to eat mess and eat badly, he is a cultivator, and there should be a secret elixir, and there are no other brothers and sisters of the same mother, the closest is Zhu Di, and he is also the most supportive of Zhu Di as the emperor. But now that Zhu Di has chosen to quit and gone to the Western Regions, it can be said that his closest relatives are almost far away from now on, his father is also dead, and he has no descendants, this kind of person will be very extreme.

He doesn't care about death.

If, like in the original history, the people sent by Zhu Yunxi to take away Zhu Yunxi were a little disrespectful to him, and even a little misbehaving stimulated him.

He committed suicide in that tragic way, Zhu Di would really be enraged.

"Mada, this is going to make a big fuss."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, there was a sudden chaotic scream, and he quickly turned his head, and saw a tiger suddenly pounce out of the grass and trees, and pounced on the old man Zhang who was still enjoying the scenery. Old man Zhang also reacted, and avoided it at the moment it fell, and at the same time, the fist of his right hand suddenly burst out, and it happened to hit the tiger under the ear. The tiger, which was not very big, shook its head with the bombardment of his fist, and then slammed it to the ground, where it kicked its limbs and twitched, and soon blood came out of its nose.

"This old guy can really punch and kill a tiger!"

Yang Feng exclaimed.

"What did you say?"

Sister Liu said.

"I'm an old man in his seventies, and he just killed a tiger with one punch, although this tiger should be underage."

Yang Feng said.
