Chapter 407 Yu Guoyi Guo Xi Guo Shen Guo Chapter: Assassination of King Wu, turmoil in the vassal kingdom, and the return of King Shang

There has been a huge change in the country.

Zhu Jianqi's seventh son, Zhu Youqi, didn't know that he was opposite Malacca at the moment, on the island of Sumatra.

The old emperor divided the island of Sumatra to Zhu Jianluo, the king of Yu.

The entire island of Sumatra, as well as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and the islands in the Tenth Degree Strait, were all given to Yu.

Yu is the outer island chain of the land of the Ming Dynasty.

But it is controlled by Yu Guo.

In the past two years, the old emperor wanted to find an island reef in the Burma Sea (West Sea) to establish an inner island chain and defend the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the natural island chain was sealed to the Yu country, and he could only find a way to find a way on the islands and reefs in the sea.

However, there was a sudden upheaval in China.

Zhu Jianluo didn't know it yet, and it wasn't until the Ming boat branch passed through Malacca that the news reached Yu Guo, and after Zhu Jianluo knew, his heart sank to the bottom.

He is a rare princeling.

At the beginning, he was sealed here, and it was Zhu Jianqi who worked hard.

Now that Zhu Jianqi is disobedient to the old emperor and has been deposed as the crown prince, what will happen to him as a princeling?

He was not afraid of his father's reckoning with him.

He was worried that the fourth child would liquidate him.

In the past few years, he has been paying attention to the movements of the major vassal kings, and he also belongs to the older vassal kings.

King Yu is not an ordinary country name.

The dynasty before the Xia Dynasty was the Yu Dynasty, which was a big country.

Zhu Jianluo won the favor of his father and the prince, so he put it here to defend the West Sea of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, his father also had high hopes for him, but he was rotten after he succeeded the domain.

With a population of 110 million, Yu has a small population.

But it is located on the Strait of Malacca, and two years ago, the old emperor wanted to open up another strait to relieve the pressure on Malacca.

However, it was resolutely opposed by Yu Guo, because Malacca provided 60% of Yu's financial revenue.

Yu country relies on the Strait of Malacca, and it makes a lot of money.

After the crown prince was in power, he began to establish a financial center in Palembang, and the name Palembang originated from Zheng He.

In fact, many city names in Nanyang are closely related to the Han people, such as Zamboanga, Luzon, and Baguio.

It can be said that the entire Nanyang was reclaimed by the Han people, but the person who made the final decision was not the Han people, how sad.

When King Yu first succeeded to the domain, there were dozens of countries in the entire island of Sumatra, which were successively annexed after being wiped out by the Ming Dynasty.

The natives were either enslaved or killed, and almost not one in a hundred remained.

After more than 30 years of governance, there is no trace of the Tu people, and among the 110 million people, all Han Chinese, they have either been assimilated or disappeared.

After receiving the news of the change of the crown prince, King Yu first gave the center a sparse, stood in his father's perspective and scolded Zhu Jianqi for being unfilial, and then sent someone to send good things to the king of Shang to befriend the king of Shang.

In fact, the most confused is Zhu Youji.

When he came out, he was fine, why did his grandfather suddenly change the prince, the question is what should I do? What am I?

The son of the deposed prince? Or the emperor's grandson?

Although the crown prince has nothing to do with him, he also wants to have a feudal country.

His father Zhu saw Qi ascending the throne, and he had some hope, but if his fourth uncle ascended the throne, there would be no hope at all.

Wrong!

Zhu Youyun immediately thought that his grandfather had feelings for Zhu Jianqi and would definitely settle them.

If Zhu Jianlu succeeds to the crown prince.

So the Shang State, the Shang State must be caught, the Shang State has a vast territory, and it can be called the largest country in the vassal country, will grandpa let his father become the emperor of the Shang State?

And the king of Shang split the earth and sealed the king, the king of Zhao, the king of Qi and the king of Lu, and the three of them became the sons of the emperor, should they give the country to the brothers of the same clan?

Thinking about it this way, isn't his own feudal country coming?

Which one should I choose?

While King Yu temporarily befriended the king of Shang, he was also thinking about whether he could inherit the throne of the emperor of Shang? Or go one step further and enter Beijing to inherit the crown prince!

The second and third are twins, and they don't have a chance.

If the fourth child dies and the fifth child also dies, is it up to me to take the order?

Zhu saw that Luo was the sixth in line, and he came up with a lot of unrealistic ideas.

Like him, there is also Wu Wang Zhu Jianhu.

King Wu was the last one in Oceania who knew how to change the crown prince, and he immediately kindled his hope that if the fourth child died, he would be the heir in line!

However, that night, King Wu was assassinated and seriously wounded.

Wu Wang Zhu saw that Hu was hit by an arrow in the throat, if he hadn't avoided it in time, the arrow deflected through the throat, and he was sealed by a sword.

Fortunately, in this era, the medical skills are superb, and his life is saved, but his throat is wasted.

Fortunately, this arrow is not poisonous, and if it is poisonous, the gods will not be able to save it.

The news of Zhu Jianhu's serious injury caused an uproar in international public opinion.

"It's the sixth!" Zhu Jianhu's voice was like a broken gong, Harahara, not with a mouthful of phlegm in his mouth, but with a mouthful of blood, and he bled as soon as he spoke.

"Please don't talk to the king!"

"Lonely's heart, like a fire burning, if you don't say a word, Lone will be ten thousand uncomfortable."

Zhu Jianhu's face was hideous: "It was the sixth child who did it, he wants to succeed to the crown prince, so he wants to get rid of Lone." ”

"Your Majesty, it may not be the work of King Yu."

The important minister said: "In order to change the crown prince, Your Majesty allowed the king of Shang to return home with 50,000 elite soldiers and sent hundreds of thousands of navy escorts, for fear that someone would secretly poison him." ”

"What's more, Yu Wang Zhi is very talented, since he wants to assassinate, he should also assassinate the King of Shang first, and then assassinate you, how could he assassinate you first?"

"And the heart of Oceania for hegemony has risen, and the old minister suspects that it was done by the kings of Oceania, and it is just a disaster to the east."

Zhu Jianhu coughed up blood and came out: "Second brother? Third? It's impossible, they are twins, and there is no possibility of inheriting the throne, except for the fourth one, who is me! ”

"Lao Qi is a sick man, and he probably won't survive my father."

"Besides, if the throne is passed to the seventh child, it is better to let the boss do it."

He didn't know that King Yan was dead.

But the important minister said, "What if you cross the king of Yan? ”

"You mean the eighth?"

Zhu Jianhu's face showed a fierce light: "Is it the yin owl villain of the King of Song, he killed me first in order to ascend the throne of God?" ”

"Maybe it's not to ascend to the throne, but to plot against the state of Wu." The important minister believed that the Song King was very ambitious, but it was impossible for him to kill the above group of brothers and ascend to the throne.

The most important thing is that King Song is the fourth person, and he is the most supportive of the fourth child's accession to the throne.

That is to say, he means to take in the fourth child and get rid of the older vassal king? Succeed yourself to the throne and remove all obstacles? Beware of being crowned prince again?

Zhu Jianhu suddenly thought of this section: "You say, can you be the fourth child and take the opportunity to get rid of his brothers and stabilize his position as the crown prince?" ”

"How so?" Chongchen felt that there was no reason.

The old emperor ordered the king of Shang to be the crown prince, how could the king of Shang worry about his younger brothers? Besides, in terms of ability, it is the old twenty who can be comparable to the fourth.

If the fourth kills the fifth, sixth, seventh, and nineteenth, isn't that cheap?

"The fourth child wants to make Oceania chaotic and give him enough time to rectify the country, what a vicious method!" Zhu Jianhu is now suspicious.

Because of the assassination of King Wu, this tourist country suddenly closed the door to freedom, searched for assassins, and defended King Wu.

Wu Guo is loud.

International public opinion pointed to King Yu and King Song.

King Yu and King Song were silent, which caused people in the world to think about it.

Could it be that King Yu and King Song both sent assassins?

As a result, within two days, King Yu and King Song were assassinated one after another, and even King Zheng, who couldn't fight if he wanted to, was also assassinated.

The older prince was assassinated one after another, but he cleared everyone's suspicions.

Only King Wu was the saddest and almost shot to death.

Others suffered only minor injuries.

However, the assassination of the king of the vassal state was the first time in history, and it was unprecedented.

Who did it?

After the elder kings were assassinated one after another, the biggest object of suspicion turned to the fourth child.

Except for the fourth, the other older kings were assassinated, and of course, the second and third were left alone, and no one paid attention to them.

Zhu Jianyu, who was adrift on the boat, reported the ship three times a day to Daming, and the news boat would also bring the latest news.

So Zhu Jianyu also knew that his younger brothers had been assassinated.

Didn't he arrange it?

Who did it?

If only King Wu was assassinated, it would be clear that the sixth man did it, but the older kings were all assassinated, and the basin was buckled on his head.

Who's muddying the waters?

Zhu Jianyu has been the emperor for thirty years, this is a real emperor, he has fought on the battlefield all his life, and he doesn't know how many people he has killed, so he has naturally developed a suspicious and domineering character.

Longitudinal analysis of his younger brothers.

The fifth child is a little smart, but he can't be the emperor of a big country, and the sixth is sealed in Sumatra, which is enough to show that he is not a successful material.

Don't talk about the seventh, that's an otaku; As for the eighth child, Zhu Jianyi has a little bad thoughts, but they are all written on his face, he belongs to the kind that wants to be very bad but can't be broken, and he is also a waste of firewood; Lao Jiuzhu saw that Zhu had no quarrel with the world, but he wanted to fight, he was in that ghost place in New Zealand, and he couldn't participate in the hegemony at all.

Don't mention the old ten and the eleven, these two goods, dog eats dog is a good hand, and it's not a fart to do business.

So who could it be?

Could it be the second and third children who have been neglected?

A pair of twins, creating tension in the court, what benefits can they get?

Zhu Jianyu knows a kind of person who can't see others good, and when he sees that you have good things, he will be so uncomfortable that he can't sleep.

But the second and third in memory are not of this character.

People change.

Zhu Jianqi is crazy, let alone the others?

Zhu Jianyu succeeded to the throne past the two of them, saying that there was no hatred in his heart, it was impossible.

"But could it be them?"

Zhu Jianxi's fleet had already crossed India and was about to enter the border of the Ming Dynasty.

The expected assassination did not come.

Instead, the older kings were assassinated.

His father must have seen the song, which added the first difficulty for him to return to China and succeed to the throne.

"Lone seems to have been ignoring someone! Boss, could it be you? ”

Zhu Jianxi's fleet docked in the country of Yan for half a day, and the king of Yan was assassinated, but he sent someone to greet the king of Shang, and there was nothing else to say.

Obviously, the otaku of King Yan will not lie, he suspects that the fourth brother sent someone to assassinate him, so he does not want to see each other.

Zhu Jianyu was speechless: "I have opened up tens of thousands of miles of territory in Eastern Europe, will I engage in this kind of uninformed conspiracy trick?" Why did Lao Qi live more and more and go back? I'm here just to meet you. ”

In fact, he didn't know that King Yan was dead, and after the second generation of King Yan succeeded to the throne, because he hid from the old emperor and did not report the funeral for a long time, all countries thought that King Yan was still alive.

It wasn't until Zhu Jianxi's ship arrived in Malacca that he received a secret letter.

It is a secret letter written by the second generation of Yan Wang Zhu Youji.

"It turns out that I misunderstood Lao Qi, he, he actually walked in front of me? Alas! Zhu Jianyu didn't expect that the seventh child died last year, and because he was worried about the old emperor's body, he didn't report the funeral for a long time.

"At that time, I should have gone to Yan to worship him!"

Zhu Jianyu regretted it a little.

But brotherly affection is just a sentence of regret.

Then the question comes, King Yan was also assassinated, and it was Zhu Youji who was assassinated?

It shows that the killer behind the scenes does not know the news of the death of King Yan.

Doesn't that just mean that it's Zhu Jianqi!

Zhu Jianqi is making it more difficult for him to succeed to the throne and provoking the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the vassal state, which is too obvious, right?

"The boss has planted nails in various countries? Is there any loneliness? Zhu Jianyu realized that this was unlikely.

When he succeeded the domain, his father did let him bring a lot of people.

But these people have been tested again and again for loyalty, the problem is that his father doesn't need to guard against his sons, and the boss didn't have much authority at that time, so it can't be placed by the boss.

And the old emperor and the boss have fallen out, and it is even more impossible to hand over these nails to the boss.

According to this logic, it doesn't look like the boss did it, who will it be?

After the fleet passed through Malacca, the fleet accelerated and landed in Shandong, because in the sixty-third year of Jingtai, the port of Tianjin had been renovated one after another, and it was completely closed at the beginning of this year.

Because the preparatory work for reclamation is basically completed.

By the spring of Jingtai's 65th year, Tianjin Port was no longer able to dock ships, including the ports of Liaoning and North Korea, which were basically unable to dock.

Now the largest port in the north is Qingdao, and all the goods shipped to the north are basically unloaded in Qingdao, which has long expanded the scale of Qingdao port and has become one of the top five ports in the world.

Zhu Jianyu landed in Qingdao, he led a total of 62,000 cavalry, Yang Yiqing personally took charge of the Beijing camp, and met Zhu Jianyu in Qingdao.

Get off the ship from Qingdao, immediately get on the special train, do not rest in the middle, and take the special train to Beijing.

The railways from Qingdao to Beijing were all requisitioned today, because nearly 100,000 troops plus war horses were to be transported, and civilian trains were basically all requisitioned.

The speed of the train, from the initial speed of 9 kilometers per hour, has now increased to 90 kilometers per hour, and you can reach Beijing in one day and one night.

However, the special train that Zhu Jianyu took was about 20 kilometers per hour, escorted by cavalry along the way, and the entire railway was under martial law, and all the carriages were sentry posts.

Not only that, the road ahead, check once every fifteen minutes, take turns to check, and beware of someone planting a bomb.

Yang Yiqing slept in the same carriage with Zhu Jianxi.

"King Wu was assassinated, His Majesty was furious, and then many vassal kings were assassinated, Dali Temple Siqing suspected that you did it, after entering Beijing, be sure to explain it clearly."

It is rare that Yang Yiqing, a thatched pit stone, actually pointed out Zhu Jianxi.

Zhu Jianyu was not familiar with him, but nodded.

The reason why Yang Yiqing mentioned him was mainly because the old emperor was too tired, and his body was really unable to govern, and he would fall asleep when he listened to the discussion every day, and then he didn't follow the next sentence, he spoke halfway, and forgot the second half of the sentence.

The old emperor is indeed too old, and it is not the same as two years ago, and his memory is very good two years ago.

Zhu Jianqi's matter hit him hard.

I heard that Zhu Jianqi was imprisoned these days, cursing the old emperor every day, and the courtiers wanted to escort him to Zhongdu, but they had to wait until the king of Shang returned to China.

Otherwise, once there is an accident in the king of Shang, or the old emperor dies suddenly, for the sake of the stability of the country, either Zhu Youchang will ascend the throne, or Zhu Jianqi will re-ascend the throne.

The cabinet made the most complete plan, and the worst case was that the old emperor did not wait for the return of the king of Shang to support Zhu Jianwen.

Therefore, the last section of the road must be cautious, and the king of Shang must be properly sent back to the capital.

Yang Yiqing also took the initiative to protect him, even if this assassination of the vassal king was most like what he did, Yang Yiqing still chose to protect him.

Zhu Jianyu did not explain.

In the past few days, he has figured out who did this clumsy assassination.

He has always looked in the direction of Asia and Oceania, but not in the direction of Europe, such a clumsy assassination, if it was not made by his stupid son King Zhao, it must have been done by the bad King of Chu.

Among the kings of Europe, Zhu Youzhu is the worst.

This guy is definitely not satisfied with the territory of the Chu State, and even he is not satisfied with the country name, he wants to use the country name of Dayuan, but the old emperor has not approved it.

When Jingtai was fifty-seven years old, he wanted the name of Dayuan, and the old emperor was afraid that the country of Chu would not be able to support it.

If it was made by King Zhao, he could understand it, because Zhao wanted to expand its territory and the idea was to hit the Shang country itself, which is understandable, besides, if his father became the emperor, he could get benefits.

But when the king of Chu made it, this thing seemed weird.

It stands to reason that Zhu Youzhang's father is Zhu Jianshen, not the son of the old emperor, but he passed on to the old emperor, which is also in his lineage.

Over the years, the old emperor has also regarded Zhu Jianshen as his own.

But why did he hack himself?

Zhu Jianxi's succession to the throne is almost a sure thing, Zhu Youzhu is so smart, he should be confronted by him, how can he set up a situation to harm him?

He couldn't figure it out.

But there should be no one else except that bad boy, right?

Now board the train to Jingshi, and you are only one step away from succeeding to the throne.

The people of the world are already looking forward to it, although the people have no sense of participation.

Yang Yiqing didn't talk to Zhu Jianyi too much, he was just responsible for sending Zhu Jianyu to the Beijing Division safely, that's all.

According to the speed and distance, it will take three days for Zhu Jianyu to enter Beijing.

These three days may be the longest three days in Yang Yiqing's life, even if there is merit in supporting it, but for 57-year-old Zhu Jianyi, this merit is dispensable.

He was not succeeded by an internal domain, but by an emperor who came back from abroad.

His big business, although not as good as the Ming Dynasty, is also the largest country in the vassal state, the whole of Eastern Europe, he has the final say.

Yang Yiqing knows this.

So he just observed Zhu Jianqi coldly, and only hoped that this could become a qualified emperor, not like Zhu Jianqi, which was disappointing.

At this time.

King Yu was assassinated, but fortunately, King Wu was assassinated in front of him, and he took precautions in advance, so he was not successfully assassinated.

But King Yu was frightened.

The unrealistic idea in my heart was immediately dispelled, when he was a fart prince, he was assassinated, and if he dared to daydream, it was estimated that he would die.

Zhu Jianyu doesn't talk about martial arts, and even his younger brother does it, this bastard, after he succeeds to the throne, his Yu Kingdom will definitely be finished.

The more he thought about it, the more he was afraid, and the more he was afraid, the more he thought, which led to not thinking about tea and rice, and his spirit was not good.

Naturally, there is no time to receive Zhu Youqi, plus Zhu Jianqi has been abolished, the seventh son of a abolished prince, who cares?

King Yu was very ruthless, and the boss was useless, so he immediately broke away from the boss and began to kneel and lick the fourth, but the fourth assassinated him, and he cried and had to lick.

That's human nature.

Zhu Youzhen inexplicably felt the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

His mission will continue, and no one in the country has come to deliver the decree, so let him stop the mission, so it is naturally as usual.

He's not a gentleman, but he's not good at words, and he's also an otaku.

Therefore, he hastily ended his visit to Yu.

Depart from Yu and go to Yin.

On the island of Java, the land of the country has been as far east as East Timor, that is to say, the two islands of Java and Nusha Tenggara, plus the archipelago of Timor-Leste, are all the territory of the country.

In the South China Sea, a straight line is formed.

Zhu Jianlai, the king of Yin, has no good relationship with Zhu Jianhu, the king of Shen, and Zhu Jiansi, the king of Xi, and the three kingdoms have no disputes because of the island.

However, the country of Hao was very wealthy.

With a population of 170 million, grain is mainly exported to Zhou.

So it has a very close relationship with Zhou Guo.

Don't look at the fact that the country belongs to Asia, and the Ming Dynasty faces each other across the sea, but hugs the thigh of the Zhou country.

When Zhu Jianqi was the crown prince, Daming had no ambition to expand, as long as it was enough to hold the huge territory.

Therefore, Yin Guo should hug Zhou Guo's thighs, be a good little brother, and don't let Da Zhou be destroyed.

But now the situation is different, and the king of Shang is here.

The king of Shang was an immediate emperor, and if you look at the territory he conquered in Eastern Europe, you know that this guy will be in power and will definitely have terrible expansion attributes.

So, where will the direction of expansion be?

Judging by the map.

Sumatra, Java, Nusha Tenggara Islands, Timor-Leste, and Maluku have formed a closed loop in the Daming South China Sea.

And with the entire island chain, the Ming Dynasty locked the mainland together, and no country could break through the territory of the Ming Dynasty at sea.

So, will Daming take Yu State, Yin State, Xi State, and Shen State first?

These four countries are the weakest.

Okay, even if everyone has a brotherhood with Zhu Jianyu.

But Zhu Jianyu's son, Zhu Youqi, has no feelings for them, will he take the uncles after he succeeds to the throne?

Definitely!

Because Zhu Jianyu has a strong aggressive attribute, after this person ascends the throne, the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the vassal country will definitely change.

Not only from a strategic point of view, but also from an economic point of view, war is inevitable.

Don't say anything about the same root and origin, there were fewer domestic rebellions in the Ming Dynasty in the early years?

In the event of an economic crisis, the best way to divert the contradictions, that is, war.

And a bunch of soft persimmons abroad, Zhu Youqi will definitely pick a few.

So.

After receiving the holy decree, Zhu Jianlai, the king of Xu, immediately contacted the king of Zhou and sought refuge in the state of Zhou.

At the same time, King Yin contacted King Xi and King Shen, hoping that the three kingdoms would abandon their previous suspicions and unite with the outside world.

Originally, he had to contact King Yu, but King Yu was assassinated and no one was seen, which led to one less country in the Four-Nation Alliance.

Judging from King Yu's actions, he was cutting off the boss and settling with the fourth.

It is estimated that he has not seen the situation clearly.

From a macro perspective, Zhu Jianxi's accession to the throne will definitely change the world situation.

It is very likely that the intracontinental disputes of various countries will unite at the first time to deal with Zhu Jianxi.

Zhu Jianqi became the emperor, and no one took him seriously.

Zhu Jianyu ascended the throne, so it was like facing a great enemy, and the Ming Dynasty became the target of everyone.

There are pros and cons.

In Zhu Youzhe's eyes, there are a lot of people, rich tourism resources, and national construction also follows the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty, which is not a weak country, but it is not a strong country.

If Zhu Youwei is a general, he is sure that he will defeat the state of Xu within two years.

Zhu Youwei noticed the change in King Hao, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, when his father was the prince in the past, the kings were not afraid of him, basically they all went their own way, but as a result, the king of Shang succeeded to the crown prince, but it made people panic.

It turns out that the vassal king is really not afraid of his father.

Perhaps, it is also a good thing for the imperial grandfather to change the crown prince.

After hovering in the country of Yin for a few days, he went north to Xiguo, and Xiguo was in Sulawesi and the Maguru Islands, and happened to be sitting in the earthquake zone, and the earthquake and volcano tsunami were everywhere, which can be described as very unlucky.

The main island, Sulawesi, is also the most barren, relatively speaking, the Maguru Islands are a good place, and the earliest spice islands are Magulu Island.

Therefore, Zhu Jiansi, the king of Xi, wants this island, and if there is no Maguru Islands, he is estimated to have to change places to succeed the domain.

It is the least populous country in the world, with only 37 million people.

It's not that Xi Guo doesn't want to give birth, but Xi Guo can't afford to give birth.

The country's largest export, sulphur.

Because there are many volcanoes, after the eruption, there are sulfur workers who endure the hot mountain fire to collect sulfur mines, and there are almost tens of millions of people in Xiguo, who are sulfur workers.

Although the sulfur workers earned a lot of money, they were not dignified, and they worked hard and made little money, which caused a large number of people to flee in large numbers.

Some fled back to China, others went to the Song Kingdom, and a small number fled to the Yin Kingdom.

Instead, it has become the poorest country in the Asia-Pacific region.

In the past two years, the king of Xiwang has broken the jar a little bit.

The outflow of young labor is irreversible and cannot be industrialized at all.

This directly led to the fact that the industrialization process of Xiguo was very slow, not as good as Shen in the north, Hao in the south, and far inferior to Song in the east.

The country of Xi is getting weaker and weaker, but the king of Xi still owes his son, and he is reckless and provoked everywhere.

Song Guo is looking for a sense of existence, and Xi Guo is simply unable to live, and he touches porcelain everywhere.

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the country is full of people.

If you have more people, you will be able to fight.

And King Xi knew that his place was broken, so he was half-killed and half-sinicized to the natives, and basically recruited soldiers to fight on the battlefield for him.

The effect is very significant, secretly fought a few small battles, and Xi Guo has quietly been a small overlord for a few years.

But as the process of industrialization began, the country fell behind.

Therefore the king of Xi is rotten.

If you can't industrialize, you will have children and rot.

We will be poor, and we will be poor to death.

If you are so poor that you don't dare to fight me, if you beat me, you will have to raise tens of millions of soldiers and militarists, and you will fall into the quagmire of war.

Then, the king asked for it from the rich countries.

I want it from Da Ming, from Song Guo, from Da Zhou, with Xu Guo, with Shen Guo, and with anyone.

This guy looks like he can't afford to live, and he will burn all the jade if he doesn't give money.

As a result, this guy really found a way to make a fortune like a beggar.

In the fiftieth year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty issued a relief policy, mainly to relieve the kind of vassal states that could not afford to live, and the Xi State was among them.

Xiguo gets a subsidy from Daming every year, which is definitely not enough to spend, but there is no victory.

This has developed the habit of asking others for money instead of production.

Isn't this a nomad?

The Huns, the Turks, and the Mongols were like that.

But the times have passed, and the dividends are gone.

In the industrial age, the way of fighting wars is also changing, in the past, it was fought by soldiers, but now it is fought by machinery, and soldiers have become consumables.

No matter how fierce the soldiers of Xiguo are, there is no place for them.

Can a knife be faster than a bullet?

Therefore, it will not work if Xiguo takes the road of Warat again.

King Xi didn't realize it yet.

Until the center changed the crown prince and Zhu Jianyu wanted to succeed the crown prince, he immediately realized that he was poor and useless.

He is the twelfth, and Zhu Jianyu grew up from childhood to adulthood.

He knew how good that guy was.

In these years, Zhu Jianyu was the largest vassal king among the vassal kings, and he could be said to be the most capable son of the old emperor.

If such a person ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, the country can be destroyed with a snap of a finger.

Xi Guo is a burden in the eyes of the Yin State and the Shen State, but it is not in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it tens of millions of people? Da Ming raised!

And the opening of Sulawesi directly opened the road to Oceania.

This is the main way.

Can the ambitious Shang King let go?

Therefore, when King Zhu saw Lai's letter, King of Yin's Asia-Pacific countries abandoned their previous suspicions and unanimously joined the outside world, he immediately chose to agree and participate in the Triple Alliance.

When Zhu Youhui came, the three kingdoms of He, Xi, and Shen had officially formed an alliance and were currently negotiating with the Song State, so it was best to invite King Zhou to preside over the overall situation.

In Xiguo, Zhu Youji's biggest impression is that he is poor and horizontal.

The people here speak fiercely, have a fierce attitude, and look like they are murderous.

Zhu Youzhen walked the street for two hours, was stolen nine times, almost beaten twelve times, and was kicked once.

This broken country, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to come again.

He didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour.

Immediately go north to Shen Kingdom.

Shen is also the country of a thousand islands, except for Luzon, Mindoro, and the Philippines of Princess Island, it is all the territory of Shen.

This is an extremely broken country, and it is impossible to count how many islands there are.

The main territory of Shen is in Mindanao.

He also thought about reclamation, but the problem was that the cost of reclamation was too high.

Shen Guo didn't have the money and was not willing to invest.

Shen was the closest country to the Ming Dynasty.

The infrastructure of this country is basically contracted by the Ming Dynasty, and all the money is paid by the internal funds, which is equivalent to saying that the Ming Dynasty built it for him.

Shen Wang Zhu Jianhu is a person who is very good at crying.

Almost every month cried that his country was poor, picked up good things from Daming's hands, and pulled them to his own country.

In fact, Shen is not poor at all, the land area is not large, but there are 80 million people, and the per capita income is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, or even slightly higher.

Because King Shen can draw it, the infrastructure was built by the Ming Dynasty, and the national welfare was also cried out of the Ming Dynasty, and in many places the Ming Dynasty spent money.

The reason why it is kept is because the geographical location of this country is too critical.

Luzon Island is an important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty's trade with Oceania, and the ships must pass through the Shen State.

Shen became the hub of trade in Oceania.

Therefore, as long as Shen Guo follows the footsteps of Daming, he can make money, which is a geographical advantage.

Moreover, King Shen will cry.

Minduluo Island, originally belonging to the Shen Kingdom, was classified as the Ming Dynasty in the fiftieth year of Jingtai, and at that time the King of Shen cried great benefits.

To be precise, the old emperor spent two billion to buy this island, and it was all the money that King Shen cried out.

The reason why Mindoro Island is wanted is to build the first layer of the island chain.

King Shen cried and asked for it, although it was annoying, he could really come.

The other vassal kings couldn't pull this face.

And King Shen, in the Shen Kingdom, is much loved.

The money that King Shen cried did not go into his own pocket and squandered it, but used it for industrial construction, industrial development, and civil welfare construction.

Shen has 80 million people, and the happiness rate is higher than that of Daming.

In fact.

At that time, the old emperor asked not only for Mindoro Island, but for the island chain from Zamboanga to Semporna in Borneo, with the Sulu Sea in the middle, turning the Sulu Sea into the Ming Inland Sea.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty should have swallowed the entire Philippines at that time, and should not have been given to King Shen.

From the Philippines to Borneo, there are two important island chains.

One is Princess Island, Mindoro Island, and Luzon Island.

The other is Zamboanga and Semporna.

In this way, the island chain will be constructed, and the eastern part of Borneo will be free of external troubles.

As the largest island in the Ming Dynasty and the richest island, Borneo is home to more than 300 million people.

King Shen was only willing to sell Mindoro Island.

At that time, the old emperor wanted to give Greece to King Shen as a new feudal state, and give him ten billion cash compensation.

King Shen refused.

How can Europe be next to the Da Ming incense, next to the Da Ming, lying down can live the life of a man.

Where birds don't poop in Europe, whoever goes is brainless.

But!

The imperial court has changed the crown prince, and the Shang king Zhu Jianyu has succeeded to the crown prince!

It's a bad dish!

Shen is a neighboring country of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the country with the most opportunity to threaten the southern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, for an immediate emperor, he will never allow any danger to exist, and he will inevitably annex the Shen State.

So King Shen regretted it, how good it was to go to Greece.

It's too dangerous to be around Daming.

Now I can't regret it, the old emperor probably doesn't have the energy to change the country for him.

Therefore, King Zhu Jianlai asked for the Triple Alliance, and he immediately agreed, and he was most worried about him.

In the past, there was an island dispute with Xiguo, but this time it is completely gone.

A broken island is a fart, as long as you can keep the national ancestry, it is more important than anything else.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen's biggest feeling in Shen Guo is that he is comfortable.

This place is too rich.

The food scraps that leaked out of the hands of the Ming Dynasty fed the vassal kingdom.

Especially here, it is an important road section leading to Oceania and the Americas, and naturally has the role of a hub, and ships from all countries have to pass through Shenguo.

The people are all wealthy, and I heard that many charitable foundations in China have donations from wealthy businessmen in Shen State, which shows the wealth of the people here.

There are only four feudal kingdoms in Nanyang, and there are four close vassal kings of Yu, Xu, Xi, and Shen.

In the past, there were distant vassal kings, but the four kings all claimed those islands, resulting in the entire South Seas, and only these four countries.

In the past, when Zhu Jianqi was the prince, everyone had their own lives, and they had nothing to do, so they didn't have to be too comfortable.

This time, the king of Shang returned to China and succeeded to the throne, and the problem was big.

And at the moment.

The special train of the king of Shang arrived in Beijing without danger.

The king of Shang stood outside the noon gate.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated palace gate, his heart was full of spirit: "I'm Zhu Jianxi, I'm back again!" ”

When he first succeeded to the domain, he thought he would never return to his home country.

But I never expected that I was almost sixty years old and came back.

When I left, I was in the prime of life.

When he came back, he was already gray and old.

But others are not old-hearted, and their ambition and pride have never decreased.

After receiving the edict from the palace.

He followed the eunuch and entered the Forbidden City, which had not been repaired for more than 30 years, and already looked very dilapidated.

In the 57th year of Jingtai, the Ministry of Industry proposed to repair the Forbidden City.

But the household department refused on the grounds of affecting the old emperor's rest.

Until now, the Forbidden City has not been repaired.

Zhu Jianyu walked into the Fengtian Temple.

He had expected to see his father sitting majestically on the dragon chair, looking forward to his return, just as his father had announced at the Fengtian Temple when he succeeded the vassal.

But when he entered the Fengtian Temple, he saw a rickety old man, sitting on the dragon chair dozing off, drooling for a long time.

The face that should have been handsome was covered with age spots, because it was too thin, wrinkles crawled all over the cheeks, and it was completely no longer domineering as it used to be.

He saw his father again, but he felt the death in his face, his father was old, too old to be old.

What kind of power is it that supports him to deal with the seventeen-day government.

At that moment, the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

After he entered the palace, the eunuch was just about to sing, but he hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty is tired, please go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to rest." ”

The courtiers were also looking at the Eastern European emperor at this moment.

Zhu Jianyu is fifty-seven years old this year, his sideburns are gray, but he does not see his old age, especially the blazing flames flashing in his eyes, and he is alive and well as an old emperor in his fifties.

But he has a little more murderous and bloody aura than the old emperor, and his skin also looks very rough, which is the result of sleeping in the open all year round.

His legs, some of which are compasses, have been cultivated by riding horses all year round.

His waist was straight, and his eyes were like knives.

At this moment, he glanced condescendingly at the ministers.

Just the first impression made the civil officials very unhappy, this guy must be restless, for some reason, they have a little regret in their hearts.

Zhu Jianyu was also looking at the ministers.

The memory of governing in the Fengtian Temple returned to my mind, and I thought that I would never enter the Fengtian Temple again.

But here it is again, the king of the world is coming, this is fate!

Just as they were silently clashing.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly woke up and wiped his saliva with his sleeve: "The old and the fourth are back?" ”

Poof!

Zhu Jianlu knelt on the ground: "Dad! The son is not filial, but the son is back! ”

For a moment, tears were in my face.

Zhu Qiyu stood up with his support on the table, his eyesight was weak, he rubbed his eyes: "Come close, let my father take a look." ”

Zhu Jianyu climbed up from under the Danqi, and when he reached his father's case, when he raised his head, he saw that his father's eyes were cloudy, and his body needed support to stand, and at that moment, his tears collapsed directly: "Dad! ”

"Fourth!"

Zhu Qiyu gently touched his head: "You are also old, you have white hair, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
