Last time, it was mentioned that Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen and their concubines had nothing to do, so they went to the Western Regions to play, just overlooking the Ming army's recovery of various parts of the Western Regions.

"Uh...... What the elder brother said is that the younger brother knows what to do, hehe. Actually, Zhu Youzhen was a little unconvinced, after all, by chance, he obtained all the memories of the "future man" Nobel in the parallel universe world of different time and space, and he was confident that his achievements would not be lower than that of his brother.

In fact, Alfred Nobel (1833 – 1896) was a famous Swedish-born chemist, engineer and industrialist. As an inventor, Nobel's most important contribution to future generations is the invention of the "yellow explosive" and the establishment of the "Nobel Foundation Prize".

Nobel spent his life developing explosives, but he was a "pacifist" who hoped that the powerful explosives he invented would help to eventually eliminate war, and he set up a "peace prize" in addition to the four categories of literature, physics, chemistry, and physiology (or medicine).

Nobel was an outstanding scientist, inventor and entrepreneur, in addition to inventing various types of "safety explosives", he also involved a wider range of fields, including "applied chemistry" such as man-made fibers, artificial leather, and artificial gemstones, as well as electricity, optics, mechanics, gunsmiths, biology, etc.

During his lifetime, Nobel obtained a total of 355 patents and built his own factories around the world. In addition to the production of explosives, these factories also produced a large number of various by-products, making a significant contribution to the development of science and technology in the world. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen will have the confidence to surpass his brother in this regard.

However, because Zhu Youxiao has practiced the "Seventy-two Techniques of the Left Path of the Side Gate", he can predict the future through the "Meng Tou" spell at will anytime and anywhere, but compared with his younger brother who has not practiced this exercise, he obviously has a great advantage. However, Zhu Youzhen practiced Buddhism intensively, and he obtained "Buddhism's heart", which can also be perceived.

"Hey, okay. This land is really vast, I'm afraid it can't go to the Central Plains! Zhu Youxiao and everyone looked around while soaring through the clouds and fog, relying on their strong spiritual power to sweep back and forth anything below, and said with a smile: "The Western Regions is not only the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but also the homeland of this dynasty, and now it has been swept and recovered by my Ming army, how about changing the name of 'New Return to the Homeland' and 'Xinjiang Dadu Division of the Western Regions'?" You know the rest of the things, brother, right? ”

'Oh?' Western Regions Xinjiang Dadu Division'? Interesting, haha. After listening to this, Zhu You couldn't help nodding with the concubines and said: "My Ming Dynasty has 'Nuer Gandu Division', 'Wusi Zangdu Division', 'Duogandu Division' and many 'Xuanwei Division' and 'Tusi' in the border area, and now I can open up the 'Dadu Division' in the Western Regions!" ”

"Giggles, that's what the emperor said." Queen Zhou and the concubines stepped into the void and danced, seemingly enjoying this wonderful feeling of being able to fly to the sky after becoming a cultivator, and the key is that she has cultivated into a "Jindan Zhenren", not only has a lifespan of thousands of years, but also has the opportunity to achieve "Yuan Shen" in the future.

"Hehe, what does Concubine Ai think about this? Let's put it bluntly. "Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen and the women stepped on the white clouds, followed by his brother Zhu Youxiao, and were flying quickly to the east, flying against the wind in today's cultivation realm, not to mention traveling thousands of miles a day? It was only an hour before and after flying back to Beijing from the Western Regions.

"Giggles, the emperor is serious, where do the concubines dare to talk about state affairs?" The concubines and concubines had a good heart, nodded to each other, looked forward to it, smiled smartly, and did not forget to quip: "The emperor knows that all dynasties have taboo 'harem politics', and the concubines only care about their husbands and children. ”

"Haha, what a 'husband and son'! Aren't the sisters-in-law hinting at my brother's ......? Hey. Zhu Youxiao also came to join in the fun after hearing this.

"Uh...... I don't know what my brother means......" Zhu Youjian was in the flowers, feeling a little uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "I have decided to set up a series of 'Governor's Mansions' and 'Xuanwei Division' under the 'Western Regions Metropolitan Division', such as 'Yili Jiangli' (Eastern Chagatai), 'Kazakh', 'Tashkent' (Tajiki), 'Kanjuti' (Zobin), 'Afghanistan' (Persia), 'Turkmenistan' (Dawan), 'Yuejibei' (Uzbekistan), Khorezm (Kangju) and other places. ”

At this time, Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen was no longer the mortal emperor who was about to enter a "dead end", nor would he be the mediocre ancestor "Jiajing Emperor" Zhu Houxi who almost died in the "murder of the palace maid".

In fact, "those who dare to talk about recovering the Hetao will be beheaded". This sentence came out of the mouths of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but behind it was a "strange injustice through the ages", and the protagonist of this "unjust case" was named "Zeng Miao". But in the final analysis, Zeng's death was only caused by an official struggle between interest groups within the Ming bureaucracy.

Zeng milling is a native of Taizhou, Zhejiang, Jiajing eight years (1529 AD) in the jinshi, once patrolled Liaodong, because of merit promoted to Dali Temple, moved to the right of the imperial history, governor of Shandong, and later changed to patrol Shanxi, soon promoted to the military department of the Lang, because he is well versed in the art of war, good use of chariots and artillery, and improve self-made firearms, so as to defeat the enemy, and also have a lot of actual combat experience, is the earliest recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty military generals who made a "time bomb".

At that time, the Mongol Tatar army, which often invaded the northern border, was mostly cavalry, with strong field combat capabilities, and non-Ming defenders could easily resist it. In order to be able to win with infantry, Zeng Mill purchased a large number of combat vehicles. In battle, he arranged his chariots in a circle, with a certain number of archers on them and soldiers outside them.

When the Tatar cavalry attacked, the archers on the car were like rain, and the soldiers outside the car took the opportunity to cut off the enemy's horses and feet, and picked off the cavalry, so that they would win every battle, and were shocked by the Tatar and other Mongolian tribal cavalry as "heavenly soldiers". At the same time, Zeng also made good use of "artillery" and other "advanced weapons" to restrain strong enemies. For example, once, the Tatars came to besiege the "three sides of Shaanxi" again, and saw that an elevated highway was erected at the gate of the city, and puppets were set up to sing and dance, but the flags and drums in the city were silent, and there was no movement.

This aroused the alarm of the Tatars, who did not dare to enter the city rashly. But the soldiers were very curious, refused to leave, gathered together to watch, and for a moment the noise of people was noisy and chaotic. Suddenly asked, only to hear the military horn in the city protrude, set up the artillery first, and then the city tower all the artillery fire in unison, the city soldiers followed, surprise, killing countless enemies. This made the northwest frontier army under the leadership of Zeng Mo so powerful that the Mongols did not dare to easily invade the border.

Zeng Milling himself also created a bomb called "slow cannon", just like the "grenade" of later generations. Its cannon is round like a bucket, wrapped in five-color decorations, with a mechanism in the middle, and a fire line inside. In wartime, throw it on the other side's marching path. The Tatars did not know what they saw at first, so they stood around and watched. Who knows, the line of fire that had been lit for a long time burned to the end in an instant, the gunpowder exploded, and many enemies were injured. In fact, this kind of "jogging" bomb is equivalent to the prototype of a "time bomb", but it is too crude.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing (1546), he was the governor of Shaanxi Trilateral Military Affairs, and his salary was increased by one level because of his merits. In history, Zeng Mill likes fame, and in order to repay Jiajing's kindness, he wants to make a difference. As a result, Zeng Milling set his sights on the "Hetao area". At that time, the "Hetao region" was occupied by the Tatar tribes of the Mongol Altan Khan, and the threat to the Central Plains was huge. He wrote to Jiajing, and this letter eventually killed him. The gist of the letter is as follows: "

Zeng Milling was a Jinshi in Jiajing for eight years. The Mongol Altan Department occupied the Hetao for nearly a hundred years, and Xiaozong and Wuzong wanted to recover it but couldn't. I was based on the Hetao to disturb and intrude on the Central Plains. None of the feudal ministers told His Majesty that they would recover the Hetao, because this was a military task, and a small mistake would trigger a chain reaction and harm itself. I also know that this battle is dangerous, but I have been gritting my teeth for a long time.

I secretly planned, taking advantage of the opportunity of the autumn horse fat, with a strong bow and arrows, when the opponent gathers troops to attack, we will disperse the defense and let them succeed temporarily. When the water dries up in winter, the horse has no overnight food, and when the spring is cold and rainy, the land is dry, and the opponent's advantage is gradually weakened, we have the advantage.

At that time, please let me lead 60,000 elite soldiers and 2,000 Shandong gunners, bring enough food and salary for 50 days at the spring and summer handover, and smash the enemy's lair by land and water. Artillery fire is stirring, and the enemy is sure to be defeated. This is a one-and-done solution, and it is also the method that Wanshi Sheji relies on. The above is a vernacular interpretation.

Although Zeng Milling wrote reasonably, and the analysis of the enemy situation was very in place, so that Emperor Jiajing felt sorry after reading it, and once upon a time he also thought that he could be like Taizu and Taizong for a lifetime, conquer the world, and establish eternal meritorious service for his "Zhu Ming Dynasty", but unfortunately it backfired in the end.

However, in order to increase the weight of the content, Zeng Milling played 8 suggestions one by one, and also planned with the ministers of Yansui, Ningxia and other places to build a 1,500-mile border wall from Dingbianying in the west to Huangfuchuan in the east to defend against the enemy. To this end, Zeng Mo also asked for an appropriation of 100,000 gold coins, ready to be completed within 3 years, so as to conquer the Hetao.

After all, since Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by the palace maids, he no longer went to the court for some reason, and he nested in the harem all day long with a group of "demon dao" refining the "elixir", and he also used the "menstruation" of the palace ladies to "alchemy".

After Emperor Jiajing saw the letter, he issued an edict: "The thief has been suffering for a long time according to the Hetao, and I am thinking about it day and night, but the border ministers have no capable people to share my sorrows." Zeng Miao's proposal to regain the Hetao was very good. Zeng Milling and the ministers of the towns carefully studied the strategy and gave the trimming fee of 20,000 taels. Asked for 100,000 taels of silver, but the emperor Lao Tzu gave 200,000 taels as soon as he was happy (at that time, the price of gold and silver was one to ten, and one gold coin was worth one tael), Zeng Mill's confidence increased greatly, and his attitude was more resolute.

After a meeting with the ministers of the towns, Zeng gathered the opinions of the people, and there were 18 strategies for the performance, and 8 camp maps were presented. Emperor Jiajing was also very satisfied with this, and issued an order for the courtiers to discuss. And the courtiers saw that Jiajing admired Zeng Milling very much, and they all echoed Zeng Mill's statement. However, under the seemingly calm and calm, a "big storm" was brewing, because Yan Song, the traitor at that time, was very keen to grasp the psychological changes of Emperor Jiajing.

Suddenly, Jiajing issued a handwritten edict to the ministers: "Now expel the Hetao traitors, if the teacher is really famous?" Is there really more food and grass? Will it be successful? One has milled what a foot road also! What if it causes poison to the people? "The wind reversed for a while, so that the ministers who were still echoing just now did not know why.

However, there is one person who understands the emperor's thoughts, and this person is the powerful minister Yan Song. And Yan Song originally had a grudge against Shoufu Xia Yan, so he wanted to use this incident to bring down Xia Yan. Before Zeng Milling was in the book, Shoufu Xia Yan also wanted to make meritorious contributions through this matter, so he fully supported Zeng Milling, so he was calculated by the other party unknowingly.

After Yan Song noticed that the emperor's psychology had changed significantly, he immediately seized the opportunity and said: "Lord Xia has always praised Zeng Miao, but I haven't heard of the specific reason, I don't know what credit he has?" This is obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open, thinking that he is so powerful that he can refer to a deer as a horse in front of the people of the world.

Wang Yiqi, the "secretary of the military department", saw the wind and steered the rudder, and played the opinions of the courtiers again, and sure enough, the "mediocre" emperor Lao Tzu completely overturned the previous statement, claiming that the Hetao could not be recovered, and the so-called "those who regained the Hetao will be beheaded". So, Jiajing ordered Zeng Mo to be arrested and Wang Yiqi to replace him.

After Jiajing arrested Zeng Miao, although he didn't want to kill him at first, the powerful minister Yan Song understood that the "officialdom battle" could not leave hidden dangers, and he would rather kill by mistake than let go! So, Yan Song exerted "borrowing strength", in order to put Zeng to death, he remembered a "good teammate", this person is the "Xianning Hou" Qiu Luan.

When Qiu Luan was guarding Gansu, he was impeached by Zeng Mill for making mistakes and was arrested and questioned. And Yan Song has always been very close to Qiu Luan, so he used Qiu Luan in prison to use his strength, not only finally saved Qiu Luan, but also successfully killed Zeng Mo and Xia Yan. This is the "borrowing a knife to kill" in the struggle for officialdom and power!

Yan Song learned that Zeng Miao's friend Su Gang was the father of Xia Yan's wife. And Su Gang, Zeng Miao, and Xia Yan had close contacts. So, he wrote in the tone of Qiu Luan in prison, saying that Zeng Mian had been defeated in the border pass, concealed it and did not report it, deducted tens of thousands of taels of military salary, and asked his son Zeng Chun and his cronie Su Gang to bribe their superiors. Although these are all false and there is no evidence at all, Jiajing, who ignores the government and politics, is convinced of this and orders Zeng Chun and Su Gang to be imprisoned.

Subsequently, the legal department compared Zeng Miao's sin with the crime of Bian Shuai's loss of the walled city, and according to the law, Zeng Mi should be beheaded for the crime of "befriending close servants", and his wife and son were exiled. After Zeng Miao's death, Xia Yan was also beheaded, and Qiu Luan was released from prison. Since then, the border soldiers in the northwest section of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty have been panicked and their morale has been low.

The process of Zeng Mi's death was very strange, at first his suggestion was approved and appreciated by Jiajing, and then the wind direction changed abruptly, Yan Song made a difficulty, and seized the opportunity to kill his political opponent. In addition to Yan Song being Jiajing's confidant and Jiajing's deep belief in Yan Song's false accusations, what else caused Jiajing to suddenly change his attitude? In fact, after the analysis and inference of later generations, it is believed that there may be the following three main reasons:

First, because Yingzong was bewitched, there was a "change in Tumubao". Yan Song advised Jiajing not to start the war lightly, and it was in Jiajing's arms.

Second, Jiajing respected Taoism and devoted himself to cultivating Xuan, and he did not go to court for 20 years, but he was still able to monopolize the imperial power, relying on his "wisdom and ignorance" and "merit and crime" in employing people, deliberately making the ministers confused, so as to achieve the effect of consolidating power, after all, he did not want his heart to be spied on by others.

Third, Jiajing has allowed Yan Song to be in power for 20 years, and he has seen through the so-called style of the cabinet ministers, and does not want to give them the opportunity to "leave a name in history". At the same time, he also saw through Yan Song's cunning and flattering characteristics, and would rather use a vicious dog to take care of his scepter, although the dog's grade is not high, but there is no risk.

It was precisely based on the above three reasons that Jiajing suddenly changed his hexagram, listened to the "testimonial to recover the Hetao, beheaded", and killed the loyal minister Zeng Miao. Fortunately, history will not let the loyal ministers lose their reputation from now on, because in the early years of Longqing, Zeng Milling was posthumously presented by the new emperor Ming Muzong with the "Military Department Shangshu", nicknamed "Xiangshu". In the "Wanli period", the imperial historian Zhou Yun petitioned the imperial court to build a shrine for Zeng Milling in Shaanxi. At this time, the people in Jiangdu's hometown can also build a tomb and set up a shrine for it, woohoo and mourn!

"Haha, my brother is the lord of the world, and he is powerful all over the world, so he can do whatever he wants." Zhu Youxiao said disapprerovingly: "Brother Wei is now a person who cultivates the truth, and he does not participate in the disputes of merit and demerits in the mundane world, it is better to be my 'carpentry', then it is called cool!" As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youxiao turned into a thunderbolt and disappeared.

"Huh? This is...... What about Uncle? Why is it gone in a blink of an eye? The girls only heard a rolling thunder, and the lightning arc in front of them flashed and disappeared. In fact, this is the "Thunder Escape Technique" in "Thunderbolt on a Sunny Day", which is a spell passed on by urging the carpenter to marry his three older daughters to Zhu Youxiao.

This set of "Thunder and Lightning Spells" consists of five parts, namely "Thunderbolt Light and Shadow Clone Technique", "Thunderbolt Golden Thunder Demon Eye", "Thunderbolt Thousands of Miles on a Sunny Day", "Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation Forging Body Skill", and "Five Thunder Thunder Strikes". Of course, the carpenter has deduced the "thunder-swallowing technique" on this basis.

"What kind of spell is this? How is it so weird? Can you harness thunder and lightning? Could it be that ......" The women were stunned, but they relied on inertia to control the "Jindan Vision" to shield the earth's gravity, and it was not until Emperor Chongzhen coughed and reminded him that he couldn't help but look at each other, so he sped up his flight.

Half an hour later, when everyone flew back to the airspace of Beijing in the clouds and fog and the wind, they used their divine sense to sweep and found that the Jingshi who had been almost razed to ruins due to the "natural disaster" ("Apocalypse Explosion") two years ago had now fully recovered as before, so they turned into meteors and fell and hovered in front of the "Luban Gate".
