Chapter 608 Ambition
The emperor’s mind has not changed, so the waves in the south of the Yangtze River will naturally not calm down. Zhongshan King Xu Da is no longer the name of peace in the past. He suppressed all rebellions with iron and blood methods.
A group of famous people such as Gao Qi and Ben were interrogated by imperial envoys and then executed. They danced on the singing stage, and the wind was always blown away by the rain. In this turmoil, in fact, they had no choice. It is God's grace.
In addition to the execution on the spot of the traitors who despised the imperial court and yearned for the old Yuan Dynasty, many more were escorted to Beijing for interrogation. The life and death of these people are still uncertain.
And Zhu Biao, who was in the Wenhua Palace, finally received the report from Liaodong. Not only did Alatan Ula die, but also King Shen Tutuobuhua, who was out of the camp by Naha, was also executed by Naha himself to show his dissatisfaction with Goryeo. A total of revenge.
Alatan Ula's death was personally designed by Jiang Yu. She was clean and beautiful, and the guards who survived the serious injuries all insisted that the Queen Mother Gaoli Mingde sent the killer. As for how they determined it is not important, the important thing is that Shen Wang died with him. up.
Frictions continued on the Liao-Gao border. Goryeo sent envoys several times to explain to Nahachu after hearing about it.
In fact, when he first received such information, Zhu Biao was a little hesitant. Going smoothly might mean he would suffer a big loss, so he did not hesitate to use several spies who had been lurking for a long time to ensure that the matter was true, and even more carefully investigated the situation of Nathan. Ha asked whether he had contacted Goryeo's secret envoy privately.
After all, Li Renren and the Empress Dowager Mingde were not vegetarians, and Zhu Biao was prepared in his heart, but fortunately, everything went well. Naha pretended to be asleep sincerely, and no matter how much others called him, he couldn't wake him up.
It can also be seen that Alatan Ullah, the much-loved youngest son, is not so favored, at least not more than Naha, and the wealth and lives of himself and other descendants.
"The younger brother pays homage to the emperor."
Zhu Di, who had lost a little weight, was in good spirits. Zhu Biaosui pointed to the seat beside him. The two brothers got closer these days. Zhu Di had to do the homework of Goryeo, and only Zhu Biao could teach him.
"In general, you understand clearly. In addition to Jiang Side and Yao Guangxiao, there are also children from the Jin family, the Chen family, and the Han family who will be your help in the army. You should make good use of these Korean family children but don't trust them. Outsiders are outsiders after all. "
Zhu Di nodded and sighed after taking his seat: "Your brother understands. After careful understanding, I realized how powerful the imperial brother's layout is. After this battle, Koryo and Liaodong will be the best for me."
Zhu Biao pointed out: "Don't be happy too early, let alone be negligent. It's such a simple matter to seek a country and territory. The war is dangerous. Whether you can come back safely or not is another matter."
Zhu Di immediately accepted the promise with a correct attitude, but he didn't seem to care too much, just because of the majesty of his elder brother. It's no wonder that ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty look down on the people of Liaodong and Koryo, thinking that they are all barbarians who drink blood and are uneducated. It's the noble prince and prince like Zhu Di.
Zhu Di is no longer a child, and Zhu Biao no longer has the idea of correcting his mentality. He can still write letters to chase after him when he can't manage it.
It can only be said that his mentality is likely to suffer, and he may even die. After all, he did not go there with the honor of King Qi, and any accidents may happen. No matter how many Zhu Biao's layouts, there are places that cannot be taken care of. .
Zhu Biao pointed to Liaodong Koryo on the map on the book case, then clicked on Dongying and the other slightly larger islands and said: "You know how tight the imperial court's finances are, but the imperial court has not stopped coastal shipbuilding. Count one or two silver mountains and fill them in, for what purpose?"
Zhu Di lowered his eyes, and Zhu Biao continued: "I still remember that my elder brother told you a few years ago that the feudal clan was established by the emperor, and my Zhu family really needs you to do this for the time being, but I also said, In the future, the feudal clan will definitely be cut down."
Zhu Biao said it calmly, as if everything was a matter of course: "Even if there will be no problems with the separatism of the feudal town for one or two generations, it will definitely happen in the future. For the sake of future generations, you can either stay in Beijing and enjoy the wealth or you can live in peace." From expanding the territory and establishing the country."
Zhu Biao stared seriously at Zhu Di's eyes and said: "You will be like this, and my children and grandchildren will be like this, at least it will be like this before I die!"
The tone is not high-pitched, but the firmness in it is very obvious. He can't change it, and I'm afraid even his own father can't change his elder brother's thinking, so these younger brothers seem to have no other choice but to accept and face the reality.
Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little sad. No matter what, he didn't even have the right to object.
"Fourth brother, you should take a step ahead and show the other brothers. The eldest brother can promise that in the future, no matter whether you want Korea or Dongying, or even a farther and richer place, you can."
Zhu Biao ignored Zhu Di's dazed expression. He hoped that Zhu Di would be more wild, that he was a wolf who went out to expand the territory, not a dog who went to help him guard the border and calm the people.
The world is too big. Before the appearance of long-distance communication devices such as the telegraph and telephone, there was an upper limit to the territory that a dynasty could truly rule. This was not a question of the ability of the king, but the limitation of the times.
Zhu Di's mentality is still far superior to that of his peers, and he calmed down quickly, his eyes fell on the map with some sharp eyes. In fact, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully, at least it is good for him.
Expanding the territory is his wish, leaving the Central Plains and being shrouded in the shadow of his elder brother for the rest of his life is not the life he expected.
Zhu Di’s eyes quickly shifted from Goryeo, too close to Daming and too young and too poor, and he only stayed in Dongying for a while.
Zhu Biao smiled happily and took out a map. It was very vague and only a rough map of the world was drawn. Unsurprisingly, Zhu Di was extremely shocked. He never thought that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was so small.
"Big...Brother, is this real? Where did you get this picture?"
"Of course it's true. Where do you think those red-haired ghosts and blond demons who trade here and there come from? This world is so big that even our brothers can't eat it."
After hearing the confirmation, Zhu Di's first thought was to establish a country that was vaster than Daming, and then let his father see who is his most outstanding son!
"See, what is Goryeo? It's just the first step in your training. The soldiers you bring out belong to you. If you want to occupy any place at that time, you can occupy it yourself if you have the ability."
Zhu Biao's words are undoubtedly encouraging Zhu Di's ambition, and it is foreseeable that he will certainly encourage his other younger brothers and his future descendants in the future. The Zhou Dynasty was only a large country when it was founded, and it was surrounded by barbarians and barbarians in all directions. Zhou Tianzi divided the princes and ruled .
The current situation is also the same. The development of ships and firearms is unstoppable, and it will inevitably usher in the era of great geographical discovery. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to collect all the rich and prosperous enclaves, and even if they are collected, they will not be able to manage them.
It can only be thought that the meat rotten in the pot is better than being eaten by outsiders. As for whether they will take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to turn against the guests in the future, that is beyond Zhu Biao's consideration.
In fact, not only are the clan's children, but Zhu Biao will not be stingy if the rest of the people have the ability to create a world outside, as long as the country is established, Daming will be regarded as the suzerain country.
If everything goes well, then Zhu Di is a role model for the princes, and Tang Ding is a role model for the people of the world. As long as he has meritorious service, the land in the Central Plains cannot be confiscated as a vassal, but all other places cannot be confiscated.
