Chapter 185: I Have Other Uses for Your Pig Brain
"Oh, it turned out to be an armed tribute."
Lao Zhu looked at Ye Xian sharply, and let out a chuckle for a while.
"Yidi, beasts are also afraid of power but not virtue."
"You have repeatedly falsely reported the number of people to pay tribute, and read that in the bitter cold of the extreme north, the court has repeatedly responded to your request; You are not grateful, and even regard the help of the Ming Dynasty to you as a due righteousness, and do not hesitate to raise troops to the south, resulting in the misery of life! ”
Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang was already full of firepower, and he looked at him angrily.
"Now, it's really shameless to say what you want to take, it's ridiculous!"
also knelt on the ground first, and did not dare to refute.
The tin cans standing on both sides were too scary, wearing bright armor and carrying a long sword in his hand, and he had no doubt that as long as he dared to refute, the sword would have to be split in half for him.
"Don't worry, we won't kill you." Lao Zhu squinted at him: "We will let you live and atone for those Ming soldiers who died in battle!" ”
Well...... He and Li Shimin had already negotiated the price, and a young slave of Wara was ten taels of silver.
Lao Li's most special thing now is silver, what he lacks is people, and livestock that can mine. The people in his native plane are too well-behaved, and they don't even have the slightest objection, and they don't have any excuse to grab and mine.
Sometimes it's not a good thing for Yi Di to be too well-behaved, Lao Li always feels that he has gained a lot, but he has lost something.
These Warat people seem to be good at mining, and Lao Li has given twenty taels of silver and a strong laborer.
The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled don't want it, and the rest is half price. Of course Lao Zhu thinks it's no problem, anyway, he is making a net profit, and it's a pity that these people are killed, so it's better to let them go and dig for Li Shimin, and they can still earn some silver.
Lao Zhu even had a ruthless idea in his heart now - should he let Xu Da and them form a catcher after he went back...... No, it's the mission group that bathes those Yidi in the emperor's grace.
The era of the Ming Dynasty was different from that of the Tang Dynasty. In this era, it is much more difficult to conquer the world than the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the intertwined religious forces, let's just say that there are many people.
Li Qing doesn't care about this matter, anyway, Lao Zhu and Lao Li play how they like, as long as they don't harm the Han people.
"Boyan Timur, you are a wise man." Lao Zhu looked at Boyan Timur again: "We also need a smart person." ”
"Foreign minister Boyan Timur is willing to smear the liver and brain of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty!" Boyan Timur's five bodies threw himself to the ground, and he did his best to flatter.
It's not okay not to flatter, choose between the head and dignity, and Boyan Timur definitely doesn't choose dignity.
What's more, the one in front of him is Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and his ancestors have been swept from Dadu to the grassland, and it is nothing to kneel by himself.
Besides, this head is not just his own head, but also about his own nine clans.
"There is no need to smear the liver and brain, we have other uses for the pig brain." Lao Zhu glanced at Boyan Timur who was kneeling on the ground with satisfaction.
In the tent, Lao Zhu is training, and the Ming army outside the tent is still chasing and killing.
The Ming army followed the routine of the Warat people in history, shouting "those who disarm and throw knives will not kill" while rushing to kill, which greatly disintegrated the morale of the Warat people. Coupled with the conflict and trampling of the Warats, there was almost no resistance to the pursuit along the way.
The next day, the number of prisoners was counted, and after removing those who were missing arms and legs, there were more than 12,000 prisoners.
"Our silver!" Lao Zhu looked at the group of Warat captives, and his eyes were full of holes.
Twenty taels of silver for one, and for twelve thousand people, that is twenty-four thousand taels of silver.
What kind of business can you earn more than 200,000 yuan in less than two days! Lao Zhu's breathing was heavy.
"We don't care what you do!" Lao Zhu said viciously to Xu Da: "After you go back, you will go and form a mission group with Fu Youde and them!" He doesn't recruit 100,000 people every year, let's ask you! ”
In addition, Lao Zhu also gave Xu Da and others one-tenth of the commission. The generals who already felt full of motivation were even more motivated this time, and even Lan Yu screamed that he wanted to go back and start business quickly.
But things can't be so urgent, and we have to go back to Shuntianfu to return to the court.
Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, can no longer be the emperor. It's only been a few years since he was in power, and he has done such a big job, Lao Zhu really doesn't dare to think about what he dares to do if he is the emperor for a few more years.
Along the way, Zhu Qizhen didn't take a carriage at all, and he didn't even ride a horse, so at Zhu Zhang's suggestion, let Zhu Qizhen follow the large army back to the dynasty on foot.
I have to say that the waste is just misplaced, you see that when it comes to cleaning up and torturing the faint king, Zhu Fan can't even be called a genius......
Looking at Zhu Qizhen's constantly jumping up and down emotional value, Li Qing really likes Zhu Fan more and more now.
And Zhu Fan seems to know that his uncle looks at him well, and he shoots as if he doesn't want money.
No, Zhu Qizhen was lying on the ground and didn't want to go, Zhu Fan came up with a rut - dragging Zhu Qizhen's hands with a rope, you don't go, right? Okay, let the horse drag you along.
Anyway, there is Li Qing's medicine, and I don't worry about dragging him to death, so I just stay alive.
Because of his wrong decision, tens of thousands of people died. If Li Qing and others hadn't come in time, it wouldn't have been able to be said by tens of thousands of people, and the entire Ming Dynasty would have to break a leg.
So no matter who it is, they don't have any sympathy for Zhu Qizhen's experience, after all, this kid fell into this field today, and he is really to blame.
Only the eunuch Xining, it seems that he can give Zhu Qizhen a place after he goes back, and said a good word for Zhu Qizhen.
He didn't say it, Li Qing couldn't think of such a person.
Xining, Daming leads the way party, and wants to do what the Bank of China says, but he doesn't have the ability to say it.
So, who was dragged along with Zhu Qizhen, added another Xining.
Xi Ning could not have been treated by Zhu Qizhen and could still live - two days later, Xi Ning was dragged to death by a galloping horse.
"Phew, traitorous dog bastard!" Zhu Fan smacked viciously.
Although Zhu Fan is a bit confused, he still sees it very clearly in the general interests of the country.
As early as the day of victory, the messenger hurried back to Beijing with the urgent news of victory.
After hearing that it was Emperor Taizu Gao who appeared and led the Ming Dynasty to victory, some of the ministers celebrated with their foreheads, and some trembled.
Those who are happy are those who are pure ministers and cherish their family and country; Trembling...... They are all speculators with evil intentions.
The Ministry of Rites finally discussed, and the ministers went out thirty miles to the outskirts of Beijing to greet them.
This kind of treatment is not for Zhu Qizhen, but for Emperor Taizu.
When the ministers saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they tried their best to shoot the dragon's fart, and their flattery, even to their father, I am afraid they are not so filial.
And the old ministers of the Yongle Dynasty were so excited that they almost fainted after seeing Zhu Di.
This time, the imperial driver is more special, there is no need to hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and there is no need to pay tribute to the Taimiao - because the Taimiao is basically standing here. Besides, these people still have to keep it and ask Li Shimin for money.
Lao Zhu's eyes now look at the Warat captives, all in the shape of silver cakes.
Soon, Empress Dowager Sun informed her of the news of Taizu's manifestation in the eyes of the previous dynasty, and Empress Dowager Sun was not only frightened, but also worried about whether Taizu would use this to depose Zhu Qizhen's throne.
Things were just as she thought, when the ministers greeted Emperor Taizu Gao, by the way, they also unexpectedly welcomed Emperor Taizongwen back to his loyal Shuntian Mansion.
After hearing that there was a young man Zhu Zhanji accompanying him, Empress Dowager Sun hit him with the idea.
According to Zhu Zhanji's character of doting on her before his death, how could he ignore Zhu Qizhen?
However, she was wrong, and the first thing Lao Zhu did was to announce the deposition of Empress Dowager Sun as a concubine and enter Jingyang Palace.
Later, he deposed Zhu Qizhen as emperor and let him follow Lao Zhu's side. At Li Qing's suggestion, Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen was appointed as the emperor, and Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, was appointed to supervise the country and temporarily exercise the power of the emperor; The British Minister Zhang Fu, the military secretary Kuang Yu, and the household secretary Wang Zuo were the auxiliary ministers.
The reason for letting Zhu Qizhen follow left and right is ...... You can beat him anytime, anywhere.
I believe that even Zhu Jianshen wants to carry Zhu Qizhen at this time and beat him violently, not to mention the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the future.
It can't be as simple as giving him a good time, no matter what, you have to let everyone have a share.
After announcing the dissolution of the dynasty, Lao Zhu asked Li Qing why he chose the two-year-old Zhu Jianshen as the emperor instead of Zhu Qiyu, who was still in the prime of life.
"Zhu Qiyu is not as deep as Zhu Jianshen." Li Qing spread his hands: "Zhu Jianshen is definitely one of the most underrated emperors in history, especially his martial arts. When he ascended to the throne, after the change of the civil fort and the struggle within the court, the situation around the Ming Dynasty had been eroded. The Tatar headquarters in the north had begun to gradually recover, freed themselves from the control of the Warats, and began to drive them westward. ”
Zhu Jianshen did not show a policy of appeasement, but chose to face hard steel, he replaced a large number of military and political officials on the border, and made great victories such as Hongyanchi, Weininghai, and Heimuya. And with his strong support, the Ming Dynasty recovered the Hetao, and the Yin Mountain in North Vietnam shocked the Tatar headquarters. ”
"Not only does he have thunderbolt skills, but he also has a soft heart. It was Zhu Jianshen who decisively sent troops and money, and re-assigned the Uliangha Sanwei to the north of the Hebei Fortress to settle down, which allowed the Wuliangha Sanwei to settle down from the Hongwu period to the Jingtai period. ”
"Until the Jiajing Dynasty, the three guards of Wuliang Ha were the barrier of the Hebei Fortress, and they and the Ming army jointly formed a barrier to protect the peace of the Hebei Border for nearly a hundred years."
"As for going to the northeast to plough the court and sweep the caves, and to the south to conquer the barbarians, it is a basic operation in the Chenghua Dynasty."
Zhu Jianshen, the emperor of Chenghua who launched the ploughing court to sweep the holes, was destined to not get any good evaluation in the history of the Ming Dynasty. After all, he swept away the ancestors of wild boar skins to death, what good evaluation can he expect to give to the Qing literati?
"In addition to martial arts, Wenzhi is also good, and after taking the position, Zhu Jianshen can be said to have set things right. The situation he inherited can be said to be rotten and elegant, and there are uprisings all over the country, such as the Jingxiang Wandering Uprising, the Liangguang Zhuangyao Uprising, the Sichuan and Hunan Miao Uprising, the Shaanxi Tuguan Uprising, and even the salt sellers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have rebelled; The outer Mongols occupied the Hetao, and the Jianzhou Jurchens invaded Liaoyang several times...... But he insisted on turning the tide with 23 years, leaving his son Zhu Youzhu a prosperous era with no strong enemies outside, no rebellion inside, and abundant people. ”
Speaking of this, Lao Zhu and Li Shimin asked incomprehensibly: "Then why is his historical evaluation underestimated?" ”
"Ah, because he's more affectionate." Li Qing said with a smile: "Before Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, he had always favored Wan Zhen'er, even if he later ascended the throne and became the emperor, he never changed his mind, even if this Wan Zhen'er was seventeen years older than him. ”
"Gentle big sister, who doesn't love it?" Li Qing nodded and expressed his approval of Zhu Jianshen's royal sister control behavior, perhaps this is the sympathy between the same kind.
Coincidentally, I also like big sisters.
"Never changed your mind? Seventeen years older? Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at each other, and they were all speechless: "So, is that Wan Zhen'er very beautiful?" ”
"No, after abolishing Empress Wu, who always found fault and scolded Wan Zhen'er, Zhu Jianshen once wanted to canonize this favorite woman as the queen, but Zhu Jianshen was not allowed to make her the queen on the grounds that her biological mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou, was old and not good-looking." Li Qing spread his hands.
"Why is that? If it looks like a disaster to the country and the people, we can understand it......" Lao Zhu said with a frown, he couldn't understand this ...... Why did the grandson favor a woman so much older than him?
You said that you left a bad impression in the history books because of your favorite concubine, if this favorite concubine looks like a disaster for the country and the people, it is understandable that she is at the level of Su Daji and Bao Xi - but you ...... Your favorite concubine's appearance is actually at the level of a passerby?
When it spreads, people think that the children of our old Zhu family have never seen a woman!
"Because of his experience, after Zhu Qizhen was captured, the two-year-old Zhu Jianshen was made the crown prince, and the Empress Dowager Sun assigned Wan Zhen'er, who was nineteen years old at the time, to take care of him." Li Qing talked about gossip and his eyebrows danced: "Later, Zhu Qiyu wanted to abolish Zhu Jianshen, set up his son Zhu Jianji as the crown prince, and put it into practice. In those days of panic, it was Wan Zhen'er who never gave up accompanying Zhu Jianshen. ”
"You think, he didn't live with his mother since he was a child, and Wan Zhen'er often took care of him by his side, just like a mother. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Jianshen has a different kind of affection for Wan Zhen'er, so he will never abandon Wan Zhen'er in the future. ”
Unfortunately, many of the emperors with Ming are infatuated, and this is still the head of Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu's children are mostly born on the one hand, but the person he loves the most in his heart is Queen Ma.
Hearing Zhu Jianshen's experience, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder, no wonder Zhu Jianshen likes a woman who is seventeen years older than him, it turns out that it was when we were in trouble together......"
When he said this, he kept silent.
Subconsciously, he thought of the queen Ma who had to give him a big cake even after being burned on his chest when he was wrongfully imprisoned.
