This is the first pioneering action of the Ming Dynasty, although the name of the external is "to help the Wa Kingdom to quell the chaos", but in fact, the Ming Dynasty has harvested many concessions under the name of the Yingzhou Xuanwei Division, as well as the countless gold and silver of Sado Gold Mountain and Iwami Silver Mountain, as well as the promise of the Wa Queen Kameyama to "purge the Japanese and never commit the Ming Dynasty", which can be said to be a fruitful harvest.

This also made the Confucian family of Yansheng Gong put forward the statement that "foreign development is a reckless force", which was no longer accepted by the people.

Emperor Hongwu personally met with the Ming heroes headed by Zhu Su, King of Wu, and Marquis Lanyu of Yongchang, and the emperor gave a very high evaluation and reward for this expedition: among them, Marquis Lanyu of Yongchang entered the Duke of Liangguo, and Marquis Muying of Xiping ascended to the Duke of Qianguo, which was regarded as officially stepping into the ranks of the first echelon of the Ming Dynasty. According to Lao Zhu's previous promise, if they make great contributions, Lan Yu and Mu Ying will be qualified to seal their borders overseas and establish the "Liang Kingdom" and the "Guizhou Kingdom".

This made many princes and generals all red-eyed, a small Japanese country, in His Majesty's heart, is worth such a high reward?

A group of nobles who failed to go on the expedition have already begun to think in their hearts about how to instigate His Majesty to attack next.

Others also have their own rewards: Zhang He was named the Marquis of Navigation, which can be regarded as a successful squeeze into the ranks of Huaixi nobles; Yao Guangxiao was named a good doctor; Di Meng was the general of Dingyuan...... Even Fujiwara also conferred the title of Tadaakibo, and he finally attacked the post of Sekibai of the Wa Kingdom, and replaced the queen Kameyama in charge of the government of the Wa Kingdom in the Wa Kingdom, which was regarded as hanging the official seals of the two countries. But in fact, in essence, he is using Guan Bai's position to dig up the old bottom of the Japanese State and supplement the Ming Yingzhou Xuanwei Division, so dedicated, he can naturally exchange for the position of an earl.

Zhu Su was also renamed the king of Zhou by Lao Zhu, added nine tin, and fiefdomed Kaifeng Mansion in Henan. According to Lao Zhu's previous planning, Zhu Su already had the power to build the ancestral hall of the king of Zhou in Kaifeng Mansion and lead the soldiers of the three guards of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, if Zhu Su feudal overseas, Kaifeng is the temple of the "Zhou Dynasty" built by Zhu Su, and the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty will worship their ancestors in the future, and they will go to the Kaifeng Mansion of the Ming Dynasty to show that they do not forget where the ancestors came from.

In the future, the Zhou State established by Zhu Su was also a "kingdom" system, which was only lower than the "empire" of the Ming Dynasty and higher than the "principality" established by the princes and nobles of the country with different surnames. The lord of the country is called "a certain king", which is different from the "certain duke" of the principality, and can rely on the principalities of the Jiuxi Society to have the right to arbitrarily rebel.

All in all, Zhu Su was the first prince in the Ming Dynasty to have the right to "overseas fiefdom" because of his contribution to the development of Yingzhou. In the future, the Ming Dynasty opened up the wild land, and Zhu Su could take his three guards to establish the "Zhou Dynasty".

"Old Five, you should remember, although we have sealed you the king of Zhou and built a temple for you, we have no intention of letting you tear the earth and seal the king." After the reward was completed, Lao Zhu specially called Zhu Su and admonished. "Your ability is rare, you need to help us rise and grow stronger, so that we can let you seal the territory."

"You still need to build a Ming Dynasty for us wholeheartedly. When we're done, I have to help your eldest brother...... If you want to be glorious and rich, we can give it to you, but if you want to escape from the Ming Dynasty and become the lord of the country, it will definitely not work. After the reward was completed, Lao Zhu specially called Zhu Su and instructed him again and again, lest he have the idea of sealing Xinjiang overseas as soon as possible, and he will be slack off on the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't worry, Dad, I know that. For a while, I didn't think about being the head of the Zhou Kingdom...... A prince is enough for me to be tired, let alone a self-made lord. I also plan to wait for the completion of the Ming Dynasty and let go of everything to be a chic idle king. ”

Zhu Su comforted old Zhu Dao. He understood Lao Zhu's concerns, after all, he was a traverser, and he had many unheard of ideas in his head. If you let yourself open up a country, after a few hundred years, maybe it will develop even more rapidly than the Ming Dynasty.

Lao Zhu naturally won't be reassured.

And for Zhu Su himself, he is really unwilling to be a pioneer with a blue thread. Compared with other places, he loves the land of Daming more deeply. We are also willing to build this piece of Chinese ancestral land into the richest and most powerful place far beyond all countries.

After all, if we want to truly implement the policy of "forging ahead", the country's strength and prosperity are the fundamentals. Only by maintaining the "strong cadres and weak branches" can we ensure the control of the Chinese civilization over the whole world.

"Ying'er is a rare general, and she can't live in Yingzhou for a long time. In the place of Yingzhou, it is better to change a vassal king or prince to sit in the town. Old Zhu pondered. Suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Su: "What do you think, how about Tiezhu or Lao Liu?" ”

"Iron pillars?" Zhu Su was stunned, Zhu Shouqian was the son of Zhu Wenzheng, who guarded Hongdu, nicknamed Zhu Tiezhu, and was knighted as the king of Jingjiang. His heart is withdrawn, but later he became friendly with Yao Guangxiao for some reason, and it has improved. Zhu Su thought for a while and said, "The sixth year is still young, but the iron pillar is the right age...... It's just that Yingzhou is far from being safe now, and it still needs a calm and brave person to take charge. If you don't want Brother Mu Ying to sit in charge, you can change to another noble, but you don't have to stick to the vassal king surnamed Zhu. ”

"Wait until you completely swallow Yingzhou in the future, and then my Zhu family vassal king can receive this place."

"We are also working for our children and grandchildren. If we didn't hold this Yingzhou from the beginning, we would rashly seal the lord of the country in the future, what if it was set aside? "Old Zhu Dao." Moreover, how important Sado Gold Mountain and Iwami Silver Mountain are, they must not be manipulated by others. What we mean is that we still have to seal someone from our Zhu family to the past. ”

“…… In this way, transfer Ying'er back to entrust the important task, let's first send an older vassal king to take charge of this Yingzhou Xuanwei Division, and when the sixth brother or one of your younger brothers is older and has made meritorious contributions, we will seal him to Yingzhou again. They are all their own families, and if the elder brother hands over to the younger brother, there should always be no risk of fighting for power. ”

"That's fine......" Zhu Su thought for a while and nodded. Although there may not be a right fight between brothers, at least when Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao are there, none of these brothers dare to blow up the thorns. Lao Zhu can live for at least another twenty years, and these times are enough for the transfer of power in Yingzhou. "Then Dad, who do you want to take charge of Yingzhou? If it is suitable, there are only the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother......"

"How's the fourth?" Lao Zhu thought about it and said.

"Fourth brother? …… It is indeed more than enough for him. Zhu Su thought for a moment and nodded. The fourth brother likes to fight, and he has the style of your father. Those big names of the Wa Kingdom are afraid that they are not enough for him to stuff his teeth. ”

In fact, Zhu Su wanted to say that letting the Yongle Emperor go to govern the Wa Kingdom was simply killing chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife. But I didn't dare to say this, after all, the words "Yongle Emperor", saying it in front of Lao Zhu were tantamount to deliberately giving Zhu Lao Si eye medicine......

"And he is determined to go west, and the small land of the Wa Kingdom can't satisfy his appetite. In the future, there will be no love for the stack...... It's just that the fourth brother still needs to make a contribution before he can rightfully take over the Yingzhou Propaganda Division. By the way, I wonder what the situation in northern Xinjiang is? Zhu Su suddenly remembered something. After returning to Beijing for so many days, I forgot to inquire about the situation in northern Xinjiang.

"North, huh. What else, a group of clowns who jumped off the beam were about to strike a dangerous blow to me......" Lao Zhu snorted coldly, but in his tone, there was unparalleled confidence......

……

Northern Xinjiang, a wild land thirteen miles north of Changping County.

The bonfire was blazing, several horses were resting around the bonfire, and in the middle was a young man, his horse sitting cross-legged on the ground, chewing on the grass beside him, while the young man rested his head on the horse's belly, sleeping calmly.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, there is an enemy!" In the darkness, a Ming army scout horse galloped over.

The young Zhu Di suddenly opened his eyes.
