Jingshi, Xinguo Gongfu. Tang He's condition worsened and he couldn't move for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Tang He was seriously ill and feared that he would die soon, so he went to visit him in person.

When he saw Tang He, he was lying on the bed and could not move. However, seeing the emperor in person, Tang He still struggled to get up and salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him and sighed: "Old brother, don't be polite, lie down and recuperate." "The two grew up together and met when they were wearing open crotch pants.

When I was a child, we herded cattle together, and when we grew up, we rebelled together and fought the world. Although there have been unpleasant times, it is only temporary.

Now the two of them are too old to do it, and if they say no, they won't. A lifetime of affection erupts at this moment. Zhu Yuanzhang sat next to the bed, listening carefully to Tang He talking about his youth.

People who are dying will always recall scenes in their lives. Speaking of Tang He's contributions, the two cried at him.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's physical condition was also very bad, he still insisted on coming. He knew that this might be the last time the two would see each other.

No

The situation of "you die or I die......

"Your Majesty, you have to hold on!" Tang He suddenly took Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said with all his might. He didn't say anything, but it was like he had said everything.

Looking at each other, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "I'll wait until Yunxi comes back." "Those who wanted him to die early grossly underestimated his vitality.

As the son of cloth, he went from a beggar to an emperor, a wife, a son, a daughter, a grandson, and an adopted son...... The relatives around him died in a circle, what hardship did Zhu Yuanzhang not experience?

Whoever goes against him is the stupidest decision in the world! Feeling Tang He's worried eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang comforted: "Don't worry, brother, before I die, I will finish all the things that should be done, and all the people who should be killed!" A smile appeared on Tang He's face.

He understands Chongba's character, and he doesn't dare to say anything else, and he will definitely arrange everything if he leaves it behind.

After a while, Tang He couldn't help but talk about the affairs of the court: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to tell you....... It's about"

"You say."

"The Japanese Xiaoyi has repeatedly disturbed the people of the coastal sea, although the ministers are old and retired, they often pay attention to overseas." Tang He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The minister heard that the defenders of Zhejiang Lupu arrested the pirate Hu De and others, and confessed that they were ordered by the Korean generals to plunder the coastal areas of our Ming Dynasty and spy on the news. "Tang He was previously in charge of the training of coastal sailors to guard against the Japanese invaders.

There are dozens of acropolis along the coast of Zhejiang, most of which were built by Tang He when he was in charge of Zhejiang Haiphong. Some time ago, Zhejiang Dusi arrested a group of pirates on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay.

After being tortured, these pirates confessed that they had been ordered by the general of the Korean State to pretend to be Japanese robbers to plunder the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang He thought that the Korean state took advantage of the Ming army to attack Annam and wanted to expand to Liaodong. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

The North Korean state seems to be in peace, but in fact it is quite ambitious. A few years ago, when the Goryeo Dynasty was still in power, the King of Goryeo used Goryeo's status as the Yuan Dynasty's expedition to the eastern province to play a historical trick very similar to that of the Koreans today.

For example, in the issue of Tielingwei, Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to replace the Kaiyuan Road established in the Yuan Dynasty by establishing Tielingwei.

However Goryeo fabricated history, claimed

"Tieling is in the north, Liwen, Gao, He, Ding, Xian Prefectures and Gongshan Town, which is the land of the country."

Zhu Yuanzhang's proposition of Goryeo was only a joke and did not take it seriously. But something unexpected happened!

As the war between the Ming army and the Northern Yuan forces in the Liaodong region was stalemate at that time, the last monarch of Goryeo, King Yu, took the initiative to send Li Chenggui north to Liaodong to start a war with the Ming Dynasty!

In the end, there was no fight, and Li Sunggui became the sixth child, returned to the army on Weihua Island, turned around and overthrew the Goryeo Dynasty, and established the Li dynasty on his own.

In order to appease the nascent Lee Joseon regime, the Ming chose to take the initiative to take a step back and withdraw Tieling Weibei to the north of the Yalu River.

The main reason is that North Korea will turn its face one day and attack Tielingwei on a double line with the North Yuan. Between countries, the most important thing is defense.

Zhu Yuanzhang has never taken the defense of the Korean state lightly. In his opinion, Li Chenggui is an ambitious person.

And a few days ago, Jinyiwei caught a few North Korean fine workers in Beijing. These calves took advantage of the tribute to investigate the Ming Dynasty situation in Beijing, and they were especially concerned about the southern expedition.

Looking at Tang He on the sickbed, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "What do you think, brother?" Say it and I'll definitely adopt it. "Before he died, Tang He did not forget to plan for the country and care about the country, this is the backbone of China!

Tang He said: "The best policy is to set up a capital division in the north of Liaodong and guard it with the vassal king." "As for which vassal king to send, he didn't say, and it's hard to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. As early as the eighth year of Hongwu, he set up a command envoy of Liaodong in the southern part of the northeast region.

A complete management system has not yet been formed in the north, and at present, the chief military officers Zhou Xing, Zhuang De and others have established acropolis and thousands of households in the area of the Nenjiang River and the Hulan River.

Since Li Chenggui usurped the throne and established the Korean state, in recent years, Zhu Yuanzhang had the idea of setting up a Nuer Gandu Division in northeastern Liao, and planned to let Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, go to guard it.

In the end, it was temporarily shelved because of Annan. Tang He continued: "Now the situation is very different, I hope that Your Majesty will focus on the Ming Dynasty and the society, and must not condone the feudal country......" Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to listen again, and Tang He had passed away suddenly.

On August 7, the 28th year of Hongwu, Xinguo Gong Tang He died in Jingshi Mansion at the age of 70. Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the dynasty for three days, sent an envoy to pay tribute, and ordered all the princes to send officials to sacrifice.

Soon, the edict was posthumously sealed Tang He as the king of Dongou County, nicknamed Xiangwu, and buried at the southern foot of Cao Mountain in Fengyang. He also ordered the statue to be enshrined in the temple of meritorious heroes, and it was worthy of being enjoyed in the temple.

On August 13, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Lu Zigao, an official of Honglu Temple, to Korea with a holy decree. Demanded an explanation from the Korean king Yi Sung-gye for the pirates.

Not only do you have to explain, but you have to send your eldest son or second son to Daming Jingshi to explain in person! There are also Korean generals confessed by the pirate Hood, who will also be escorted to the Ming Dynasty for trial.

If not, I am afraid that the nest will be destroyed!

"Nest" is homophonic

"Dynasty", the disaster of the nest is the disaster of destroying the country! Zhu Yuanzhang has always advocated peaceful coexistence with small neighboring countries, and it is rare for him to treat vassal states with such a tough attitude.

This marked a change in the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty. In the first battle of Annan, the Ming army was like a bamboo, which made all Zhu Yuanzhang's worries go away with the wind.

A group of vegetables and jumping things around, don't fight for three days, go to the house to uncover the tiles! While East Asia is changing, Central Asia and the European continent are also undergoing tremendous changes.

The Timurid Empire, the hegemon of Central Asia, successively seized Persia and Afghanistan, captured the two river basins, conquered Khorezm, and destroyed the Ilkhanate.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Timurid Empire attacked the Kipchak Khanate, destroyed its capital Salai Bakr and other cities, and ruled Armenia and the South Caucasus.

In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Timur detained envoys from various countries, including the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire, and declared war on foreign countries.

Just as Zhu Yunxi was conquest of Annan to end his division and return to the court, Timur personally led a large army to attack Delhi, the capital of the Delhi Sultanate of India, slaughtered 100,000 prisoners of war, and occupied northern India.

On the banks of the Ganges, Timur rode his horse and looked to the east. Then he looked to the west. He's making a choice. Is it to the east, or to the west?

The Ming Empire in the East not only destroyed the Great Yuan Empire, but also drove the Mongols out of the rich Central Plains.

And the West also has a rising power - the Ottoman Empire. Not long ago, the Ottoman monarch Bayezid I defeated the allied forces of Hungary, France, Germany and other countries in the Battle of Nicoburg, occupying most of the Balkans.

Nearly 10,000 crusaders became prisoners of the Ottoman army. Except for three hundred noble knights who were ransomed for huge sums of money, almost all of the rest were slaughtered by the Ottoman army.

From then on, Europeans could only watch the Ottoman Empire expand and the Byzantine Empire was in danger.

From the coast of the East China Sea on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean to the European continent on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, three empires coexist, and their territory spans the entire Eurasian continent!

The Ming Empire, the Timurid Empire, and the Ottoman Empire were all at the peak of their dynasties at this time! In the midst of unexpected variables, uncontrollable changes are about to occur.
