Chapter 58 The best

Zhu Xi's eyes were filled with tears and she was a little reluctant, "Brother Huang, why do you have to go to Peking?"

Zhu Yue was also not happy and didn't understand very much, "Brother, the emperor loves you the most! Why do you want to go to that bitter cold place? Why not Yun Wen?"

"Your imperial brother is the emperor's grandson, and this is my responsibility." Looking at his two sisters, Zhu Xiongying said, "If Yunwen goes to Peking, that's when you should worry. Don't think too much, this is

Grandpa Huang trains me."

Looking at the two sisters, Zhu Xiongying continued, "You probably also know that the capital will definitely be moved in the future. I will go and build the city first, build the imperial city. This is a big deal. The other people, grandfather and father, are not worried, so they can only

I went."

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue can actually understand it to some extent. After all, they are from the royal family, so it is impossible for them not to understand these principles.

It's just that I understand, but when I see that the emperor's brother is leaving Yingtian Mansion for Peiping, I will definitely be reluctant to leave and will be very worried.

Seeing that his two sisters were about to cry, Zhu Xiongying remembered something, "When we build the imperial city, you will go to Peiping. Then take Yunxi with you, and I will write an imperial edict to you now."

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue were speechless. Their imperial brother took out several imperial edicts with the emperor's seal, but they were all empty.

Zhu Xiongying said while writing, "If you are not happy in the palace, go to Peking to find me. I wrote the imperial edict, and even if my father and grandpa Huang scold me, they will scold me."

Zhu Xi said sourly, "Grandpa Huang is reluctant to scold you. If we come up with the imperial decree at that time, according to Grandpa Huang's temperament, even if it is to protect your dignity, he will not say anything."

No, even Zhu Xi can see this, and others can probably see it too. After all, the blank imperial edict was given to him, and Zhu Xiongying also started drafting the imperial edict carelessly. This shows that Zhu Xiongying is confident.

.

Jiao Zhao or something like that, being smart can be regarded as Jiao Zhao. But this is the imperial edict of Zhenger Ba Jing, so it is not Jiao Zhao!

In fact, Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue didn't understand that their imperial brother gave them the imperial edict because he was worried that they would not be happy in Yingtian Mansion, so he helped them find a way out. After all, once Zhu Xiongying left Yingtian Mansion, what would they do in the palace?

Salaries will decrease.

Lu's status is relatively stable now, not because of Zhu Yunwen's dignity, but because Zhu Biao didn't have many concubines in his harem, so Lu was more favored.

As for Lao Zhu's temperament, it is enough to favor sons over daughters. Even if it is Zhu Yunxi, Lao Zhu doesn't pay special attention to it. In Lao Zhu's eyes, there is always only one biological grandson. He treats his own son just like his own son.

It's just Zhu Biao.

As more and more news came out about the Emperor's grandson going to Peking this time, many civil and military officials also had more ideas at this time.

Fighting with the emperor in the arena was not only because he was tired of life, but also because the whole family was tired of life. The emperor's grandson was still in charge of things like moving the capital, which also showed that the emperor's grandson's status was stable.

Lao Zhu named Zhu Xiongying as the general, and under his command were the Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, Duke of Zheng, Chang Mao, Duke of Cao, Li Jinglong, and Duke of Wei, Xu Yungong. They were accompanied by the Marquis of Nanxiong, Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Changxing, Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Wuding, Guo Ying, the Marquis of Navigation, Zhang He, the Marquis of Kuangshu, Zhu Shou, and the Marquis of Shenyang.

This is a strong army and a strong horse, not to mention that Zhu Xiongying also leads six departments with the Ministry of Industry as the main team. Even if they are basically civil servants at the level of minister and doctor, they are not small.

This is almost a pocket version of the small imperial court, let Zhu Xiongying take it with him to Peking.

Zhu Xiongying not only had a large number of soldiers and horses under his command, he also governed Beiping, Xi'an Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, Datong Prefecture, Liaodong Prefecture and other places. This was a military and political grab.

This is a real military and political control. Those feudal kings are vassals and theoretically are not allowed to interfere in local government affairs. But this time Zhu Xiongying is different. He not only controls some generals, but also can manage these local government affairs.

Whether you can take care of it and whether you are willing to take care of it are two different things.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying knew very well that he did not have much intention to interfere in local government affairs for the time being. Although the emperor was far away, Lao Zhu did give him the nominal power to intervene in government affairs. However, Zhu Xiongying still felt that he

All you need to do is build the capital.

Not only local government affairs, but also military power, Zhu Xiongying did not want to interfere too much. Just in name only, it does not mean that Zhu Xiongying really cares about these things.

It's better to be more responsible. If he encounters some special things, Zhu Xiongying actually doesn't care if he can do something a little bit and realize some of his own governance concepts and policies on a small scale.

"Ying'er, when you go to Peiping, the first thing you have to do is to build a capital and a city." Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying and said seriously, "This is a top priority, don't delay."

Seeing Zhu Xiongying nod, Zhu Biao continued, "You should also pay more attention to the Jinmen Guards. Whether it is an expedition to Japan or Korea, the Jinmen Guards' water transportation is the top priority. We moved the capital to Peking in the Ming Dynasty, and the Tianjin Guards are even more important.

Don’t delay.”

Looking at Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Biao asked again, "The land of Yanyun has been far away from the Central Plains for a long time, and there was great chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Army and the Red Scarf Army mainly fought in this area in the Central Plains. Shandong and Henan were mostly uninhabited.

In places like Hebei, the fields behind the army are deserted, and there are few residents. Do you know what is happening in the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty now?"

Seeing Zhu Xiongying nodding, Zhu Biao sighed and said, "The writing style in the North is very strong. In the first two years of the imperial examination, all the top three candidates were southern officials. In recent years, southern officials accounted for more than 70% of the imperial examinations. This is not good, northern officials

There’s a lot of resentment.”

In fact, the problem of popular support during the Hongwu period was not completely resolved. Today, there are still many literati who do not serve in official positions. Especially in the North, many scholar-bureaucrats are loyal to the Yuan Dynasty and are unwilling to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. Many literati are unwilling to do so.

Officials should never forget their homeland.

The homeland of these people was naturally the Yuan Dynasty.

Moreover, after the restoration of the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty, southerners monopolized the ladder of imperial examinations and officialdom, which caused northern scholars to miss the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty stipulated that 300 people from various places were selected to take the examination, and 100 people were selected, with 25 people each from Mongolia, Semu, Han, and Southerners. In addition, among the 300 people who took the examination, Han and Southerners also accounted for 70 each.

Five.

The opposition between the north and the south was also relatively strong at this time. If Nahachu in Liaodong had not been conquered and the Northern Yuan was defeated in Yuerhai, the remaining forces of the Northern Yuan would have basically lost the threat from the north of the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps many people in the North still think of their homeland in their hearts.

This is the reality. Nowadays, many people in the north do not identify themselves as Han Chinese at all, and they do not have a strong sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

It is also customary for people in the north to wear their hair with the left side folded.

Shi Jingtang rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and became independent. He made a father-son agreement with the Khitan people and ceded the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to the Khitan. After that, several dynasties in the Central Plains failed to fully recover it. Five hundred years have passed since this period of history.

The Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols have ruled the Northland for too long. Under the rule of generations of foreigners, the Han people in the Northland have lost their Han family traditions and become accustomed to foreign rule.

For Zhu Xiongying, the next step is to consider the issue of belonging to the North. Naturally, he must also give a lesson to those literati and officials who yearn for Beiyuan, or those local powerful people.

This does not mean that having a knife is enough, nor does it mean that you have strong soldiers and horses. Things like people's support cannot be changed overnight. Things like changing customs will take a longer time to see some results.

Lao Zhu came excitedly and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Ying'er, come with us to the Royal Horse Prison. We have found some horses for you."

Zhu Xiongying was happy and said lazily, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has a very high level of vision. If it weren't for BMW, he wouldn't look down on it."

Lao Zhu took Zhu Xiongying's arm and said excitedly, "It's okay to give you a bloody horse, right?"

The reputation of sweat-blooded horses is really great. From the time they entered our country during the Han Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, they flourished for thousands of years. But now, the number of sweat-blooded horses has dropped sharply, at least in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, it is also because although the sweat horse is faster, its body is slender and its load-bearing capacity is relatively weak. In addition, due to the introduction, hybridization, improvement, backcrossing and disappearance, the number of sweat horses in China is increasing.

few.

Mongolian horses are resistant to rough feeding and are very suitable for training cavalry on a large scale. Naturally, the status of sweat-blooded horses has declined further.

Lao Zhu doesn't care about so many things. His precious grandson is not going to the battlefield to fight in person. Of course, he needs a tall horse. Zhu Xiongying also rides horses at ordinary times. Mongolian horses, Hequ horses, iron-hoofed horses, etc. are all Zhu Xiongying's previous mounts for him.

Practice riding skills.

"We didn't expect that we would have such a good horse!" Lao Zhu smiled happily and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Our Ying'er is lucky. He is about to go to Peking to have such a good horse!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and looked forward to it, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson will not be polite this time."

"Grandpa Huang will be happy if you take him away!" Lao Zhu was very happy and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Our grandson is a young hero, so he should ride the best horse!"

Zhu Biao, who followed me to the Royal Horse Prison, was sour. "The best things in the past were all mine!"
