"Okay, Li Xiao really has a way to deal with this group of people."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the envelope on the table in surprise, which recorded what Li Xiao had done during this time.

First of all, he trained that group of talents for three months, and tempered them into bold and daring officials.

With those poor and sour shows before, when they met the wicked, they would be scared of the six gods without a master, but after Li Xiao's training, they all became shrewd and capable, and even learned some skills to lead soldiers.

In the future, these people will also have the strength to fight in the face of local evil forces, and I have to say that Li Xiao's series of training has been quite effective.

Then there were clear rewards and punishments, killing people and deterring, or winning over the court officials, and secretly reorganizing the Jinyi Guard, a series of means down, with the speed of thunder, so that the prefects and counties in various places had to obey Li Xiao's orders.

In the end, he personally took action, issued a series of new laws of the Ming Dynasty, and suppressed them with the army, and the alliance of these powerful families immediately collapsed.

Even if someone resisted, it didn't take long to wipe it out.

"What? Flintlock pistols have fallen to the people? ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that a family dared to come out with flintlock pistols to resist, he couldn't help but be angry, and said in his heart that these gentry and squires were really not fuel-efficient lamps.

Before, the imperial court did not interfere with their rights, and everything was fine, but once they were involved in their rights, they dared to openly resist.

This is still when he was in power, if he and the fourth child are not there in the future, these people will definitely not deal with it so much.

"The gate valves of the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties are a lesson from the past."

In the past few years, Zhu Yuanzhang has studied history and read history books all day long, especially in Beiqing University, which has a discipline called historiography, which specializes in the study of history, so Zhu Yuanzhang also took some textbooks from there to see, so that he has a new insight into the rise and fall of the dynasty.

The disadvantage of the Sui and Tang dynasties was that the gate valve family was involved in the imperial power, controlled the court situation, and controlled the imperial examination, so that the ascending channel was controlled by a few people.

Twenty-eight family gates have stifled the upward channel, and the common people have not been able to rise to the Huang Chao, and they have not been able to pass the imperial examination several times, and the children of the family have been replaced several times, and they are resentful.

Therefore, he wrote, "When autumn comes, on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. ”

After the uprising, he led an army of 300,000 into Chang'an, and because of his hatred for the family gate lords, he carried out a massacre of the family gate lords.

It was at this time that the gate valve of the family was destroyed.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that the Son of Heaven and the scholars ruled the world, but the scholars of the Song Dynasty became a new family of gate valves over time, because there will always be new magnates who will come up in order to consolidate their position.

"So, now our Da Ming, the disadvantage is that these squires are strong. Even if I suppress it, I still have to rely on them to help us govern the people, but now the establishment of the tongue area will completely solve this problem once and for all. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang watched these squires gradually disappear, and his heart was indescribably happy, and in the future, his decree could be directly issued to the dormitory district and truly manage the people of the world.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had such an idea before, he had a strong desire to control and didn't want his rights to be taken away, especially the people below still needed to rely on these squires to help collect taxes.

Zhu Yuanzhang once had the idea of extending the yamen of the imperial court downward, but he was not allowed to do so by the previous state finances, and he did not find a mature mechanism.

But now it's different, now Li Xiao has built the country differently, new crop seeds, plus chemical fertilizers, new breeding methods, so that meat has gone to the shame of tens of millions of people, so that the people no longer worry about eating and drinking, more people are engaged in other things, creating economic prosperity.

With this support, the imperial court was able to develop the dormitory and completely control the entire country.

"Huh? It is written on the note that Li Xiao led the troops that did not belong to the imperial court, and the weapon used was not a flintlock pistol, but a more advantageous weapon, more than a flintlock pistol several times. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, found this, and said: "Such a powerful weapon, Li Xiao didn't tell us, hiding private??" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi on the side immediately helped Li Xiao to justify: "Imperial grandfather, it must be my brother-in-law who deliberately did not disclose the news for this reform of the law, you think, even the flintlock pistol was taken away, it can be seen that there are still some ill-intentioned people in the Ming Dynasty, and the brother-in-law must want to find out such a person, so he concealed the news, this is the hole card, I think the brother-in-law has shown the hole card at this moment, and he will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

Zhu Gaochi is helping Li Xiao to speak all the time, in his opinion, Li Xiao is a lucky star, no matter what he does, it is for the country and the people, and he has no selfishness.

Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow.

A brother-in-law who can say such a thing should not doubt him.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

At this time, sure enough, a eunuch came to report, saying that Li Xiao had sent someone to deliver the letter.

"Spread it in."

Soon, the person who came to deliver the letter handed over a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The above first praised Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is mainly written that Zhu Yuanzhang is wise and martial, dares to delegate power, and allows him to show his talents, and now that things have been done, he will be able to come back in half a year at most.

Then he began to write that he had prepared a magic weapon for the Ming Dynasty, an automatic rifle produced by the arsenal, which was not to deliberately conceal the emperor, but not to let the news be revealed, at present, there are people making trouble everywhere in the country, and this thing can be used to quickly quell the rebellion, so that Zhu Yuanzhang does not have to worry, he will personally go to quell the rebellion and give the court peace.

After reading the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang understood the whole story, so he was not dissatisfied with Li Xiao, but he blamed him for not revealing the news to him earlier.

"I see, Li Xiao didn't deliberately conceal it, Gao Chi, you are right, there were sudden rebellions in various places, and there were indeed ill-intentioned people in the Ming Dynasty in private."

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered and guessed: "Could it be that this ill-intentioned person is someone close to us, so it is not convenient for Li Xiao to disclose it, so as not to leak the news?" ”

"No matter who it is, I believe that the national teacher will soon be able to find out, and there is Gao Sui."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi was not in good health, but after Li Xiao's recuperation, his body has become stronger and stronger over the years, and he eats well.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at the soldiers who came to deliver the letter, and asked, "What is your name and which barracks are you from?" ”

"Back to the saint, the name is Jiang Kangming, my mother was a female slave raised in Yangzhou, rescued by the national teacher, and has been living in Liushui Villa, we are descendants, and we are incorporated into the army by the national teacher, and there is no legal army at present."

Jiang Kangming arched his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "Very good, raise private soldiers." ”

Jiang Kangming's face changed slightly.

Zhu Gaochi quipped: "It's all for the court, hahaha."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "By the way, what about the automatic rifle?" Show it to us and see what is more powerful than a flintlock pistol. ”

Jiang Kangming didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took off the backpack on his back, then put it on the ground, unfolded it, and inside was a Type 81 automatic rifle.

"Holy Lord, please see, this gun is made of special metal, which can pass the test of severe cold, scorching heat, wind and sand, swimming across rivers, soaking in seawater and other strict conditions, and there are very few failures."

"The main thing is that his operation is very simple, and there is no need for reloading steps, there are magazines, and you can use them when you hit a bullet"

Jiang Kangming began to introduce the structure, process and use of automatic rifles.

"Show it to us!"

Soon, the excited Zhu Yuanzhang got started.

The cold and thick touch has an indescribable taste, and it is hard to imagine how such steel is made, it is so subtle and magical.

Heavy, very heavy, Zhu Yuanzhang held it in his hand, and then aimed at the open space, and a shuttle came.

Da Da

The sound was crisp and loud.

The bullets were fired continuously, and the target prepared in the distance was instantly destroyed.

"Oh my God, it's too powerful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene incredulously.

No wonder he was able to easily exterminate the Xu family with a flintlock pistol, which was not a level weapon at all.

"Imperial grandfather, I'm afraid this thing can completely change the pattern of war."

Zhu Gaochi watched in a daze from the side, and only spoke after a while.

"Good! Great stuff! Gao Chi, you're right, I'm afraid that the pattern of the war in the future will change, if both sides hold this thing, that kind of dense formation will not only have no effect, but on the contrary, it will become a target. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is a genius of war, a person with extremely strong military ability, and he will soon be able to analyze that this thing will definitely change the pattern of war in the future.

"Divine object, divine object, how did Li Xiao's head come up with this thing, the technology of this thing must not be known by outsiders, it must not be passed on, whoever can have this thing can control the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had this idea in his heart.

Since this thing first appeared in the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to stop other countries and list the technology of this thing as the highest level of secrecy, so that it can always be proud of the world.

"Grandfather Huang, what if this thing was born in another country? My brother-in-law said that technology is constantly advancing, and these things will be developed and produced by future generations in the future. ”

Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked this question.

"Never!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the world map on the wall, and said: "Then let the banner of the Ming Dynasty be planted all over the world, and anyone who dares to develop this thing must be disposed of." ”

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang ignited the idea of blocking the weapons of war after unifying the world, so as to consolidate the absolute dominance of the Ming Dynasty.

He would never have imagined that this idea would be the same as the blockade of the atomic bomb by the great powers in the future. If it is really realized, it can indeed put the Ming Dynasty in absolute rule.

But whether it succeeds or not, there are two things to say.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi said: "Grandfather Huang, since the national teacher has said that he will deal with this rebellion in various places, does the imperial court need to send troops to rehabilitate it?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Since the national teacher has spoken, then we don't have to do it again, just let Li Xiao, this kid, do it, and you will be happy." You don't have time to deal with this. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and asked Jiang Kangming, who came to report the news, to step back.

"Go back and tell the national teacher that no matter what he does in front, I will support him strongly, don't be careful."

"Yes!"

After Jiang Kangming gave up, he retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are true, don't look at the peace in the country, but Zhu Gaochi is very busy, not only Zhu Gaochi is very busy, but even the entire military aircraft department and the entire imperial court are busy.

It's all because of Li Xiao's national policy to develop and build a state, and they are all busy with this matter.

Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly: "That's right, grandfather Huang, I have been busy with the affairs of Jianzhou during this time, and I am busy with a lot of things, and I am all building according to my brother-in-law's method. The Confucian scholars have already been sent over to teach the Chinese language and sinicization there. In addition, craftsmen were also dispatched to teach the manufacture of houses, the construction of cities, and the urbanization there, but fortunately there were trains to transport materials, otherwise the cost would be very large. By the way, Grandfather Huang, since we started to build Jianzhou, the Korean state seems to be ready to move, and privately wants to obstruct and obstruct."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "It's normal for the Korean state to not be able to sit still, and the reason why this is so is probably because I am worried that our Ming Dynasty is too strong and will annex them." ”

The Joseon state was the former Goryeo, which originally belonged to the Yuan Dynasty, and soon after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, a large army was sent to conquer Goryeo, and Goryeo was defeated and submitted to the Yuan. Later, the Yuan Dynasty included Goryeo in its territory and classified it as a province of Zhengdong.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood very well how important Goryeo, located in the northeast, was to stabilize the frontier of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he sent envoys to Goryeo and made further requests, hoping that Goryeo could become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

At first, Goryeo refused, but the Ming Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and finally compromised.

The name of the country of North Korea was given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In addition to naming the new dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered: "Korea is a country that will never be conquered", and clearly stipulated that the Ming Dynasty and Korea were bounded by the Yalu River.

Joseon also respected Ming as the Celestial Empire, and from then on it was a vassal,

Over the years, North Korea has been paying tribute to concubines, and now there are more than 20 concubines in Zhu Di's harem from North Korea, among which the most favored is Concubine Quan.

"Grandfather Huang, what do you think should be done with this relationship?"

Zhu Gaochi said and whispered: "My grandson has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Say." ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "My brother-in-law once said that North Korea has always been in the frontier of my Ming Dynasty, so whether it is future development or being controlled by a big country, it has always been a hidden danger.

"Needless to say."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's gone." (End of chapter)
