Chapter 16: The Response of the Yan Palace!
Zhu Gaoxu was shocked.
With his IQ, he could easily understand Su Yang's explanation.
After all, Su Yang crumpled the general trend of the world and fed it into pieces and fed it into his mouth.
If Zhu Gaoxu still doesn't understand, then he is not reckless and irritable, but really stupid!
So now Zhu Gaoxu is very frightened and flustered.
He knew very well that what Su Yang had speculated was very likely to become a fact!
Zhu Yunwen has already begun to act, cutting off the supply of grain and grass in Beiping Mansion!
In the next step, the new emperor will focus on military power, or the Northern Parallel Division!
In order to resist the Mongol barbarians, the imperial court chose to build a guard post to defend the land and the border, and gradually built two border military regions in the north of the Ming Dynasty and the southern part of the grassland, namely the Beiping Command Envoy and the Northern Parallel Command Envoy (Daning Metropolitan Division).
During the Hongwu period, with the death of the crown prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Jin one after another, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, became the chief of the kings, and because he was brave and good at fighting, he was deeply valued by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and ordered Zhu Di to control the Beiping Division, the Xingdu Division, the Liaodong Capital Division and the Liaofu Guards and Horses, so that he always led the kings to guard against border troubles.
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, did not disappoint Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and led the army to Mobei many times, defeated the Mongolian barbarians, and made great achievements.
In other words, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, has a high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of the northern border army, which is beyond the reach of other vassal kings.
But this is just before, if the new emperor wants to take away the military power of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he will definitely attack the three major capitals Beiping Zhuwei!
Boiled frogs in warm water, life and death are not known!
For a while, Zhu Gaoxu's heart was flustered to the extreme.
He has been in the barracks all the time, so he naturally understands the importance of military power.
Without the power of the army in his hands, how can his father fight with that Zhu Yunwen?
All the plans of the Yan Wangfu are afraid that they will become a joke!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't sit still, and immediately rushed back to Yanwang's Mansion overnight.
Before leaving, he looked at Su Yang and Zhu Wanqiu, still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Su Yang, my little sister lives here for the time being."
"If you dare to bully him, Lao Tzu will definitely tear you apart!"
Su Yang's head was full of black lines, and he felt that this scene was familiar.
Who are the relatives of the little daughter-in-law, who are so unreasonable one by one?
Zhu Wanqiu glared and impatiently urged Zhu Gaoxu to leave quickly.
She finally lived a happy and stable life with her husband, and she really didn't want to be disturbed by these guys.
Yan Wang Huzi was very helpless, so he could only leave with a gloomy face.
After he left, Su Yang looked at the little girl with a suspicious face.
Seeing Xianggong's suspicious face, Zhu Wanqiu was suddenly shocked.
Xianggong won't notice anything, right?
"Xianggong, I ......"
"Xiaowan, your second cousin, isn't your brain bad?"
“……”
Beiping, Yanwang Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu rushed back overnight, with a tired look on his face.
However, he didn't have time to rest, and hurried to the palace study.
Zhu Di was discussing important matters with Dao Yan, Jin Zhong and others, while Zhu Gaochi was listening on the side.
The imperial court cut off the supply of grain and grass to Beiping Mansion, and Yan Wangfu was already aware of it.
However, with the gold and silver mountain of snowflake salt, even if the normal grain transportation channel is cut off by the imperial court, there are other ways.
For example, the steppe!
This is the initial strategy formulated by Daoyan and Jin Zhong.
It's just that when they proposed this strategy, they were unanimously opposed by Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi!
Making a deal with the steppe barbarians?
This is collusion with foreign enemies!
Zhu Di is the king of Yan in the Ming Dynasty, and their old Zhu family has fought with the Mongolian Tatars all their lives, and the most hated thing is the Mongolian barbarians, how can he accept this?
And Zhu Gaochi thought about it more, whether he was willing or not was one thing, if this matter was exposed and the news leaked, then all the prestige of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, would collapse in an instant, and he would become a traitor to the country who colluded with the barbarians to defect to the enemy and betray the country!
At that time, without waiting for Zhu Yunwen's Jinling court to make any moves, the people of Northern Xinjiang will be able to spray him Zhu Di to death with a mouthful of spit!
"Monk, Changshi, this matter is absolutely impossible!"
Zhu Di sternly refused again, asking him to collude with the Mongolian barbarians, which he couldn't accept at all.
Dao Yan and Jin Zhong glanced at each other, their faces did not change, as if they had expected Zhu Di to react like this.
However, as the top wise men in the world, they naturally have a good reason for formulating such a strategy.
Monk Daoyan stroked his beard and opened his mouth lightly.
"Lord Wang, the transportation of snowflake salt to the south may not go well, and the imperial court's blockade of Beiping will only become stricter, so we can't put all our hopes on the southern caravan."
"Moreover, the grassland barbarians do not produce, many materials have to rely on mutual plunder, and there is a huge shortage of salt, so no matter what conditions we propose, they can't refuse!"
"War horses, cattle and sheep, and even slaves, we can use snowflake salt to trade with the grassland barbarians, form an iron cavalry, or form an alliance with some barbarian tribes to secretly enhance the strength of our army."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face changed slightly, and he stared at Monk Daoyan with an unkind expression.
This old thief is really a demon monk, and he acts without scruples!
He Zhu Di has fought the Mongolian barbarians all his life, and now he wants him to collude with foreign enemies, which is really unreasonable!
"No way!"
"Absolutely not!"
"This king can't do such a thing of treason!"
He Zhu Di has been wise and martial all his life, and he has always been a true heroic husband who stands up to the sky, how can he do such a thing?
Jin Zhong saw Zhu Di's gloomy face, and couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade.
"Lord Wang, those who have achieved great things throughout the ages are not informal."
"When Tang Gaozu Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, he actually claimed to be subordinate to the Turks, and Taizong Li Shimin conspired for this matter.
"The situation we are facing now is even more dangerous than when Tang Gaozu raised his army, and it is not a collusion with foreign enemies that is just a transaction, and the prince does not have to be so resistant."
"And Tang Gaozu Taizong was forced to come out of this by the situation at that time, only more than 12 or 3 years, he actually destroyed the Turks and submitted to him, the great shame has been snowed, and the miracle has been accomplished, so why is it necessary to decorate?"
"The husband should stand up to the sky, and he must endure the honor and disgrace for a while, and when the great cause is completed, the prince can wave the Northern Expedition, and he will be ashamed!"
Jin Zhong was very knowledgeable, and in a blink of an eye, he came up with an example, which made Zhu Di speechless.
When Tang Taizong, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, rebelled, he was forced to collude with the Turks and even proclaim himself to the Turks, and then seized the country and the world, and then destroyed the Turks when he changed hands, and he was ashamed!
Will future generations remember that they were vassals to the Turks?
No, the world will only remember Tang Taizong's cultural and martial arts, Zhenguan prosperous!
The situation you Zhu Di is facing now is even more dangerous than Li Yuan and Li Shimin at the beginning, and now you are only asking you to make a deal with the barbarian tribe, and not letting you pay tribute to the barbarians like them, what reason do you have to refrain from agreeing?
Zhu Gaochi was also silent, not knowing how to refute.
For a while, the study was extremely quiet.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu strode in.
"Dad, it's not good!"
"Zhu Yunwen has cut off the food and grass of our army, and I am afraid that the next step will be to attack your military power!"
Hearing this, everyone in the house looked at each other, not understanding what the two sons were suddenly crazy!
Seeing that they were indifferent, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became anxious.
"Dad, why don't you understand!"
"You are a frog now, Zhu Yunwen wants to slowly cook you to death!"
Zhu Di: "???"
Three: "???"
