Chapter 4 Solidify the country and do not take the risk of mountains and streams
"Bang!"
Zhu Di, who was next door, sat on the chair with his ass, his face full of undisguised lost soul.
The surrounding brocade guards were already kneeling on the ground in panic, and they didn't dare to make the slightest movement.
"I, what did you do wrong?"
Zhu Di muttered, his voice full of disbelief.
Astound!
Shocking!
Cutting the feudal domain is to abolish the three lifelines left by his father Zhu Yuanzhang to Daming!
Since it was difficult for the soldiers to come, and no matter how many winds and waves they encountered, he Zhu Di was not as shocked as he was today.
Zhu Di tilted his head blankly, as if he wanted to look through the roof to see if his father Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at him from the sky.
Zhu Di has admired his father Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, and even studied and fought hard to become a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang, but after he worked hard to sit in his father's position, he underestimated his father's wisdom.
Zhu Di lost his mind for a while, and a picture appeared in his mind, his father Zhu Yuanzhang was standing in front of him, kneeling on the ground and being pointed at his nose and scolded.
"You can fight, you have the ability to fight all the way to Nanjing and ascend to the throne, but you can fight again, after a hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years, can you guarantee that the Ming Dynasty at that time can still fight? Moved the capital to Beiping, what should we do if our old Zhu family is served in a pot? ”
"Have you forgotten our teachings? Everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, and the leader of the army will not worry about victory and defeat first! ”
"The three lifelines left by our family to Daming are about to be abolished by your own hands as a rebel!"
The words echoing in his mind were like a thunderbolt from the sky, making Zhu Di unable to come back to his senses for a long time, only to feel that the blood in his chest was churning, and his throat was fishy and sweet.
Zhu Di wanted to argue with Zhu Yuanzhang, who only existed in his mind, but when the words came to his lips, he was just silent.
According to Jiang Xinghuo's analysis, the three life-saving lines left by Zhu Yuanzhang to the Ming Dynasty, from the allocation of troops to mutual checks and balances, and even the buffer zone of the two large plains directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the overall arrangement can be called impeccable.
It is true that Zhu Yunwen's little rabbit cub opened the opening of the feudal domain first, and abolished the vassal kings of the Yellow River defense line and the Yangtze River defense line, so that Zhu Di did not need to face the resistance of the vassal kings on these two defense lines.
But does this mean that if the feudal domain is cut, in the future, the Ming Dynasty will face the invasion of foreign races, and the foreign races will directly follow the route of Zhu Di Fengtianjing and go straight to Nanjing?
As long as these three lines of defense exist, the Ming Dynasty will never be wiped out by the alien race, and he will not dare to empty his lair, so every time something happens, even if the descendants of the future generations are incompetent, there will always be a chance to hold on.
Zhu Di originally thought that Jiang Xinghuo was just an ordinary person with some knowledge, but after listening to this speech, he realized that he was very wrong!
Jiang Xinghuo not only pointed out the means left by his father Zhu Yuanzhang, but also predicted the cutting of the feudal domain and the relocation of the capital that would occur during his reign!
This is not something that ordinary people can have!
Jiang Xinghuo is simply a demon!
Zhu Di's heart was surging for a while, but after all, he was the Yongle Emperor who was born in the flames of war and fought horses for half his life, and his heart had already been sharpened by killing and death.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Di, who was sitting in a chair, stood up again.
In Zhu Di's eyes,
Burning with a strong fighting spirit!
His fists clenched, his joints clicked, and his face flushed.
An indescribable sense of excitement filled his heart, as if he had regained the feeling of conquering the battlefield back then!
"Solidify the country and don't take the risk of mountains and streams!"
"If three lifelines work, why am I sitting here?"
"Three lifelines, I've destroyed them, then find a better way!"
"If the children and grandchildren of the younger generations are as incompetent as Jianwen, what is the use of having three more lines?"
"Moving the capital to the north, it's not that Daming is too close to the alien race, but that the alien race is too close to my Daming!"
"Kou can go, I can go too!"
"Plough the Garden! Sweep its holes! ”
"I want to never suffer for the Ming Dynasty!"
"Dad, I'm going to show you, I should sit in a seat!"
Looking at Zhu Di's reaction, Ji Gang sighed in his heart:
"This is the Your Majesty I know!"
Zhu Di got up from the chair and stood by the wall again.
In fact, Zhu Di originally thought that his strategy of "peacefully cutting the feudal clan and supporting the clan" would not have any serious sequelae at all.
But Jiang Xinghuo has clearly pointed out the first point, that is, the collapse of the national defense system left by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he said it very reasonably.
Therefore, Zhu Di also had some expectations in his heart, and was ready to listen carefully to what the second sequelae of Jiang Xinghuo was going to talk about.
At this time, Jiang Xinghuo knew that his few casual words to guide the country according to the trend of history would ignite Zhu Diji's small universe.
Jiang Xinghuo spat and splashed for a long time, it was really thirsty, and he was leaning on the trunk of the tree to eat melons.
Zhu Gaoxu, who was also chewing on a watermelon, asked vaguely.
"Ginger... Sir, then you say... The second point of cutting the feudal domain... What are the after-effects? ”
Jiang Xinghuo buried himself in eating melons, and after eating the small half of his hand, he raised his head and said.
"The second sequelae, unlike the first one, is chronic...... Offering to the clan will slowly drag down the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Why?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little incomprehensible.
"That is, if you choose to cut the feudal domain peacefully."
"-Gotta add money!"
"The reason is very simple, since you want to appease the vassals and obediently hand over their military power to become the prince of peace, then you must compensate for the original money, right? According to the Ming system, the highest prince has 10,000 stone a year, and the lowest lieutenant Fengguo also has 200 stone. ”
"It's just a few dozen vassal kings, county kings, and town generals." Zhu Gaoxu obviously didn't understand, and said disapprerovingly.
Jiang Xinghuo picked up the small half of the watermelon again and stopped in mid-air.
"When you were studying, your husband didn't teach you arithmetic?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around them, as if they could hear it clearly after dropping a needle.
The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that he was despised.
Jiang Xinghuo asked lightly: "How many generations do you think the Ming Dynasty will be passed on?" Did every emperor give birth to only one son? Or, if the other vassal kings stay in the fiefdom in the future and have nothing to do, won't they make babies every day? ”
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, revealing a look of sudden realization.
"Mr. Jiang is right, he should be directly abolished as a concubine, so that the copper plate does not need to be spent!"
Jiang Xinghuo was speechless for a while, and put the melon back again.
On the other side of the wall, the high-spirited Zhu Di fell into deep thought.
In fact, when discussing the treatment of the peaceful reduction of the feudal domain with Dao Yan, Zhu Di did not consider the number of royal families after the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Di and Dao Yan both felt that the problem was not big.
After all, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had already calculated that the title would be demoted every generation, and the prince's sons except for his son-in-law would be the prince of the county, and then the general of Zhenguo, the general of the auxiliary state, and the general of Fengguo...... Until Lieutenant Bongkook did not descend again.
Zhu Di took it for granted that his father Zhu Yuanzhang, who had set the system of the Ming Dynasty, would definitely not be wrong in the calculation of the clan's salary, so he didn't think about it carefully and planned to increase the salary as a condition in exchange for the military power of the feudal domains.
But now listening to Jiang Xinghuo say this, Zhu Di feels as if something is really wrong, but he can't figure it out.
On the other side of the wall, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and asked.
"Mr. Jiang, am I not right?"
Hearing the whistle at the end of the wind release time, Jiang Xinghuo, who had eaten the watermelon and had been lying for a long time, patted his ass and got up.
"I know that you have your hands and eyes in the prison, so you go and find a chessboard and some millet."
"What does the chessboard and Xiaomi have to do with the question I said?"
"Of course it does." Jiang Xinghuo stretched, "Put one grain of rice in the first grid on the chessboard, two grains in the second grid, four grains in the third grid, and eight grains in the fourth grid...... Put it in this proportion, and you'll soon understand. ”
"When you understand, I'll tell you how to solve the sequelae of the second point."
When the wind time ended, Jiang Xinghuo went back to take a nap.
Zhu Gaoxu sat under the shade of a tree, called the jailer to bring a chessboard and a bag of millet, and began to put it away in earnest.
"Fifth cell, sixteen grains; the sixth cell, thirty-two grains; Seventh grid, sixty-four grains ......"
After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the millet on the chessboard that could not be counted at all, looked at the direction Jiang Xinghuo left, and was stunned for a while before muttering: "Chessboard...... Eight grains of rice......"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and said, "I know how to use a hammer!" ”
