Xu Huizu obviously saw through Zhu Di earlier, if you want to say that he understands Zhu Di, he is more peaceful than Sheng Yong, what kind of virtue Zhu Di is, Xu Huizu is clear.

Mei Yin also died a miserable death in history, knowing that he couldn't swim, he was pushed into the water by Jinyiwei and drowned.

But he didn't know what happened to him, but he had a noncommittal expression, and it was obvious that Zhu Di couldn't kill him.

Because his wife, Princess Ningguo and Zhu Di, are brother and sister.

Because Zhu Di's biological mother is suspicious, of course, no one dares to mention it now, so everyone has always regarded Zhu Di's biological mother and Princess Ningguo's biological mother as one person, that is, brothers and sisters.

Mei Yin relied on this relationship, and it was impossible for Zhu Di to move himself.

"Wei Guogong also said that as long as Princess Xu is here, Zhu Di will not dare to touch you, what am I afraid of."

Mei Yin means, your sister is here, Zhu Di doesn't dare to kill you, my wife is here, Zhu Di doesn't dare to kill me.

Xu Huizu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally had to sigh.

In history, Zhu Di didn't dare to kill him, but just let Jinyiwei push him down the river, saying that he fell into the water and died.

But this Zhu Di is really not a thing, he turned his head and killed the two Jinyi guards who pushed Mei Yin down the river, and told his sister Princess Ningguo that he had helped her husband avenge her.

Therefore, in ancient times, you had to be really careful to help the emperor, and if you messed up, you would have to cut off your head, and if you did it, you might be wiped out of your whole family.

Mei Yin said at this time: "According to Wei Guogong, where will Ping An and Sheng Yong flee?" ”

Xu Huizu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The world is my Ming land, and there are only two places where two people can run. ”

"One of them fled overseas, and the other -—— Yunnan."

Mei Yin was surprised: "Why Yunnan? ”

Xu Huizu said angrily: "Because my good nephew Gao Xu is here." ”

"Zhu Di is not a thing, Zhu Gaochu is not a thing, look at it, Zhu Gaochu will oppose him Zhu Di in the future, and it will be fun for his son to beat Lao Tzu, hahaha." Xu Huizu gloated.

Mei Yin's heart was shocked, thinking that Zhu Gaoxu had let him run away in private, but of course he wouldn't tell anyone about it.

"Why did Wei Guogong say that? Why did Gao Xu rebel? ”

Xu Huizu sneered: "Zhu Di is rebellious and seeks to usurp the throne, Zhu Gaoxu must have to do the same, his father can sit on the throne, he doesn't want to sit?" ”

Mei Yin looked incredulous, and subconsciously muttered, "Gao Xu, it's impossible to do this, right?" ”

"I definitely want to do it." Xu Huizu said: "When the time comes, we can watch their father and son eat dog." ”

Mei Yin asked: "From the perspective of Wei Guogong, who will win?" ”

"Zhu Gaoxu is still a little tender, and Yan's soldiers and horses are all Zhu Di's henchmen, he will either stay in Yunnan honestly, and once he rebels, he will inevitably die a miserable death."

"Hey." Mei Yin sighed: "In this world, when will I be able to live in peace." ”

Mei Yin came out of Xu Huizu's mansion with a heavy heart, and as soon as she arrived outside, she saw two brocade guards, and she was immediately angry.

Jin Yiwei saw him and hurriedly hid, but it was too late.

Mei Yin secretly gritted her teeth when she saw it, thinking that she had known that this was the case, so it was better to run away at the beginning.

But he knew that now that Ping An and Sheng Yong were running in front, it was impossible for him to run again.

But he was still wondering in his heart, did Ping An and Sheng Yong go to Yunnan?

——

In December, the temperature difference between day and night in Guangdong is relatively large, and you may wear single clothes during the day, but you need cotton clothes at night.

Ping'an, who just arrived in Guangdong, was a little unaccustomed to the weather here, almost caught a cold, and after staying for more than a month, he finally got used to it, and suddenly felt that the weather here was very good, much more comfortable than in Beijing and the north.

Ping'an's head is a bit big, so he is wearing a big hat to cover his big face, and then he is standing on a high place, staring at the beach in front of him.

This side is the boundary of Xinhui County, opposite is the later Zhongshan City (now called Xiangshan County), and then to the east is where Aogang is located, now his location is called Changsha Village, there is a very famous place in the south of Changsha Village, called Yashan, the Yashan naval battle at the end of the Song Dynasty took place here.

Yamen, there is Yashan in the east, there is Tanghua Mountain in the west, two mountains and one sea, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you can go out to sea to resist the enemy, flee, retreat can be based on the inland, it can be said that it is the throat of the sea area in western Guangdong.

This is already the end of the south, and Ping An is not worried that the imperial court will chase here.

For more than a month, he has lived in Changsha Village, where he lives, and there are about 100 families in the village, all of whom make a living from fishing and farming.

On the west side of Changsha Village, there is a larger shipyard, the people in Changsha Village are working in the shipyard, there are only hundreds of craftsmen in the shipyard, there are various craftsmen such as ship carpenters, shipwhelmers, canopy workers, oarland workers, etc., which are very complete, and they have stayed safely for more than a month, and they feel that they are more comprehensive than the government-run shipyard, and there are more people.

But what shocked him was that this shipyard was actually owned by Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was still at war with the imperial court a few months ago, but he secretly set up this shipyard in Fujian, and when Ping An first heard it, he couldn't imagine it.

Does Zhu Gaoxu know that Jing Nan will definitely win? Even if you win, you are a vassal king, what are you doing in such a big shipyard?

At this time, someone from the shipyard in front of him walked towards him.

Ping An hurriedly jumped from a high place and faced the other party.

These two people are called Yang Lishan and Shen Jun, Yang Lishan is the general person in charge here, and Shen Jun is the director of the shipyard.

Ping An doesn't know what the factory director is, anyway, they are all Zhu Gaoxu's people, and they have been sent by Zhu Gaochu for several years.

"General Ping, everything is ready, you can take your family to Yunnan tomorrow."

Yang Lishan stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Do you want the general to go up and take a look." ”

"Let's go." Ping An said decisively, and then followed the two to the beach.

At this time, there were three merchant ships of 500 materials parked on the beach, which are said to have been built by this shipyard.

"When did King Han set up this factory?" Ping An finally couldn't help asking.

Shen Jun said: "It should be the second year of Jianwen (1400). ”

Ping'an thought about it, at that time, the Jingnan had already started fighting, so Zhu Gaoxu sent people over to build a shipyard.

"There was originally a small private shipyard here, mainly to help local fishermen repair and repair fishing boats." Yang Lishan said: "After we came over, we spent money to buy it, and then hired all the villagers of Changsha Village. ”

"I recruited a shipwright from a nearby state capital, and it took a year to get the shipyard up."

They only started to build 500 large ships last year, built one by themselves, and bought two ships outside, but now there are only three 500 merchant ships and a few small boats.

"Originally, there were not more than 100 craftsmen, but after the current saint ascended the throne, he built a new shipyard in Changle and recruited craftsmen everywhere, and we took this opportunity to pull another batch over."

This is Zhu Gaoxu's base in the south, and Jing Shu came here to raise a baby.

The real sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Now that Zhu Di has just ascended the throne, the control of the imperial court in the south is not as strong as that of the Jianwen Dynasty, and no one cares about him.

At this time, there were regular shipyards in the private sector, but in the early Ming Dynasty, the private shipyards could only build small boats, and the government-run ones could build large ships with thousands of materials.

The more Ping'an listened, the more shocked he became, and he didn't expect that Zhu Gaoxu had already laid out the south at the beginning of Jingjing a few years ago.

Now even the shipyard has been built.

But Shen Jun said at this time: "The shipyard here is still temporary, and the imperial court strictly prohibits private shipyards from building big ships, and we will still move away in the future." ”

Shen Jun's meaning is also very clear, after Zhu Di ascends the throne, the imperial court will control this area more and more strictly, Yongle began to ban the sea in the second year, and they will definitely have to move out in the future.

"Where are you moving to?" Ping An exclaimed: "Such a big shipyard. "It's not easy to relocate.

"Move to Annam." Yang Lishan said: "Your Highness's ultimate goal is to build a large shipyard in Annan that is larger than the Ming Dynasty. ”

Hiss, Ping An gasped, what did Zhu Gaoxu want to do?

As they spoke, several people had already arrived on one of the five hundred ships.

This is a 500-material flat-bottomed ship, which is already full of goods, and someone is sorting it out, stacking it in an orderly manner, and it looks like it has not been raised and all loaded.

"What is this?" Ping An was shocked.

"Salt, sugar, iron." Yang Lishan said: "It's all what Yunnan needs." ”

"We bought the salt from the people in the neighborhood, and many people along the coast here will dry the salt, but we will eventually build our own salt farms."

"The price of salt and sugar in Yunnan is very high, if we can dry it ourselves and ship it by ourselves in the future, we can save a lot of money for His Highness."

The more Ping'an listened, the more frightened he became, Zhu Gaoxu even found a salt farm, which was near Leizhou.

Leizhou is the territory guarded by Zhu Gaoxu's general Li Yuan, there is a Pisces place in the east of Leizhou, which was originally a salt farm, Li Yuan moved his cronies to the Pisces station, Yang Lishan will recruit people in the local area, dry salt with Li Yuan's people, and then transport it here along the coastal road, and then send it to Yunnan from the waterway.

Pisces is more than 300 miles away from Changsha Village, and it takes many days to walk by land, but it is much faster by water.

"It takes less than a day to take a boat to Pisces, so it's very convenient to go back and forth."

In fact, Yang Lishan only said half of what he said to Ping'an, and Xu An, who was the commander of the capital in Fujian, would also cooperate with them in Fujian and find a place along the coast to build a salt factory, and then the salt energy from Fujian and Guangdong would continue to be transported to Yunnan.

Then Yang Lishan told Ping'an how to enter Yunnan.

Their boat set off from Changsha Village and entered the official water post road of the Ming Dynasty directly from Jiangmen, because Li Yuan was the commander of Guangdong, so the road was very smooth.

At this time, the water post road in Guangdong was also very developed, from Jiangmen to the north to Sanshui County, and then to the west through Zhaoqing Prefecture, Deqing Prefecture, and finally to Fengchuan County.

The whole journey can be reached in less than a day.

Then enter Wuzhou Mansion in Guangxi from Fengchuan County, and the east of Guangxi is also a developed waterway.

From Wuzhou Mansion all the way to the east, through Teng County, Xunzhou Prefecture, Zhi County, Hengzhou, Yongchun County, Nanning Prefecture, Longan County.

The ship of about 500 materials can go all the way to Tiandong County, Si'en Prefecture, Guangxi.

After arriving in Tiandong County, there will be no waterways, and all goods will have to be disembarked.

But at this time, it is still more than 600 miles away from Guangnan Mansion in Yunnan.

The waterway in front of it spans two provinces and is thousands of miles long, but it only takes four or five days to walk.

However, the land route behind is not very easy to walk, and the more than 600 miles of road will take more than 20 days, or even a month, by manpower and horsepower.

"Sizhou, Guangxi is the Tusi Zhizhou, the Cen family is hereditary, and the imperial court has very low control in the local area." Yang Lishan Road.

Historically, after Yongle, the local area revolted continuously, and finally was exterminated by the descendants of Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

"We visited Cen Ying in Tuzhizhou two years ago, and sent a big gift, every year agreed to send 2,000 catties of salt, 2,000 catties of sugar, each time after the arrival, pay another 500 catties of salt and sugar, and ask their people and horses to help us transport goods to Yunnan, after entering Yunnan, there will be people in Guangnan Mansion to respond."

"The whole process took less than a month." Yang Lishan said in the end, his tone was already very proud.

Under Zhu Gaoxu's instructions, he stayed in the south for several years in Jingnan, and laid out the entire line with his own strength.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu's guidance and silver played a major role, but he also made great contributions.

The more he listened, the more shocked he became, and his mind gradually sketched out a road map from Changsha Village to Guangnan Mansion in Yunnan.

Spanning thousands of miles of land and water across the two provinces, and passing through the Tusi territory that the imperial court could not manage, and the difficult mountain roads, ordinary businessmen would not dare to do it, Zhu Gaoxu did it.

Moreover, its efficiency is countless times higher than that of the imperial court, and in less than a month, salt and sugar from Fujian and Guangdong can be sent to Yunnan.

This is unimaginable in terms of the imperial court.

Thinking about it in another direction, as long as there are enough ships, Zhu Gaoxu will be able to send a large number of soldiers and horses from Yunnan to the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong in about a month in the future.

At this time, Ping An knew that it was absolutely not wrong for him to take refuge in Zhu Gaoxu.
