His foreign surname is Lin, and he had already made an engagement with someone else, and then the bride was abducted by the dead man.
Naturally, the Lin family has offended people, and has been suppressed by others over the years. Fortunately, the family is large, and everyone can live by fishing and farming.
They didn't know that their daughter had gone to Daliang to become a princess, so they just thought that Zhu Youde's mother was dead.
It also took Zhou Fang many years to find out about these things. The Lin family has never mentioned it to outsiders since the eldest daughter disappeared.
Zhu Youde nodded, looked at Zhou Fang and said: "This time I go south to conquer East Vietnam. Feng Bogong and Zhao Yong have stabilized the war in the north. I am not in a hurry. All matters concerning Yan State will be left to Shanhaiguan Guards.
To make Deng Yu's decision, the imperial court only needs to cooperate. You are in the capital to help me keep an eye on the capital. You understand what I mean!"
"Aristocratic family?" Zhou Fang looked at Zhu Youde.
Zhu Youde nodded and said with a slight smile: "Sure enough, you are the best for me. It's too late for you and I to meet each other."
Zhou Fang was extremely moved, who said otherwise? You are shameless and I am shameless. We are born to be kings and ministers.
"Your Majesty is going to the southeast this time. If you meet someone from the Zhou family, if they are obedient, Your Majesty will use the Zhou family. If they are disobedient, Your Majesty will not give you face, just destroy them!"
Ouch, you are quite ruthless in killing relatives for the sake of justice.
I really don’t care about the life or death of my family as long as I am prosperous.
"Don't worry, I will give you some face no matter what, the Zhou family will not touch you!"
"Your Majesty really doesn't need to give me face. If they participate in the rebellion, have you ever thought that I will be hacked to death by your Majesty? I and Chaozong can serve your majesty and hold high positions. What else can the Zhou family be dissatisfied about, even though we are a side branch?
, but can we not take care of them in the future?”
"They dare to rebel. Let's kill them. If Your Majesty doesn't kill them, I will kill them in the future!"
I almost got chopped down, I'm not as good as a pig or a dog from a wealthy family in the Southeast.
Zhu Youde was convinced, but the old man wanted to clear things up again, and also wanted to take revenge on the Southeast Zhou family.
He was probably scared because his family members rebelled, but he didn't even notify him!
After thinking about his life and death, Zhou Fang's mentality at this time was inevitably very abnormal, and he was not afraid of being cruel to the officials in the southeast.
Some of these people must have known in advance that the Southeast was going to rebel, but no one said it or warned them.
The rebellion in the southeast is impossible without the support of wealthy families. A rebellion can raise hundreds of thousands of troops. Don't these people need to eat and drink?
The food and drink of these armies must be supported by wealthy families, so the Zhou family, one of the top wealthy families in the southeast region, must not be able to escape and must be involved.
Zhu Youde gave the order, and the entire capital was mobilized, and strong men from the surrounding villages gathered one after another!
Those bounty hunters in the capital also reported to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
In three days, the capital mobilized 200,000 troops.
Zhang Ye and his men stood in the densely packed army. This time he got his wish and joined the army, with a thousand people in charge.
"If you don't go to the north and go to the south, can you still snatch women?"
"The people in the south belong to Daliang, so they may not be able to rob them!"
"Don't think about women all the time. It's useless. This time, His Majesty is going to conquer it himself. If you perform well, you might be able to get promoted and make a fortune. Women are nothing!"
"But we clearly agreed to go to the north to steal women!"
Looking at a group of subordinates, ambitious and tired, can't you live without a woman?
You are just a bunch of sticks.
He couldn't guarantee this situation. This time the emperor was obviously angry and all the troops that could be mobilized from the surrounding areas were withdrawn. He still wanted military glory, so he counted on his brothers to be more powerful.
"We will rob if there is a chance. Don't worry, don't worry, there will be a chance. When we come back, His Majesty may give an order to rob!"
"Really, what if His Majesty doesn't give the order?"
"Can we steal it?"
"..."
He will be beheaded!
You trash guys always think like this and something will happen!
Zhang Ye felt that he would probably be tricked to death by these dead boys. They were all extremely strong and had enough firepower that they had no place to vent.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Ye said: "I'll look for an opportunity to ask someone later. You have to believe me. Your Majesty and I can talk!"
You are so capable, I believed you.
Looking at the disbelieving looks of a group of people, Zhang Ye felt helpless.
In the afternoon, Zhu Youde appeared. After the three armies offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, Zhu Youde drew his sword and waved it hard, and the army began to move.
Countless people were seeing them off outside, including Tang Boyong and Li Shu. Their faces were a little pale.
The people in the capital were all sending off the army, but no one could see them crying.
Fighting will kill people!
What's even more terrifying is that just three days after Zhu Youde gave the order, the capital had already gathered an army of 200,000, including 50,000 firearms troops.
Southern Tang simply could not achieve such mobilization capabilities.
How did this emperor do it?
If you ask Lao Zhu, Zhu Youde will only say, just work hard to increase national GDP.
When ordinary people have money in their pockets, they will take the initiative to serve as soldiers. If their families have money, they can go and gain fame with peace of mind. They will not be afraid of death. If their families have money, their families can live a good life.
If someone dies in battle, the imperial court will pay for it. Everyone knows that the imperial court is rich. One person's death costs three hundred taels of silver.
The emperor has credibility.
At this time, we can see the benefits of Chidao. Feng Yuyue's Chidao is almost built. The army can go directly to Hangzhou along the Chidao!
The journey of more than ten days was shortened by half.
Among the people watching the army leave outside the capital city were a group of foreigners, blond and blue-eyed.
"This Eastern country can mobilize 200,000 troops so easily. They have so many firearms and artillery."
A Frenchman named Charles was shocked and speechless. He excitedly said to his companions: "We should go and see how the emperor of this country suppresses rebellion and how he uses firearms. We should even buy firearms from him. His firearms are far better than ours."
We thought Daliang was a backward country due to its advanced nature. Now we should treat this country with respect. It is more powerful than we imagined."
"I heard that they are still fighting fiercely with the Mongol people in the north. The scale of their war exceeds one million people. This is really unimaginable. Only the kingdom of God can have such an army."
After returning to the hotel in the evening, Charlie began to write in his diary.
"Today I saw something I will never forget: Daliang is not as ignorant as those Song people in Nanyang said. The emperor here has a terrifying imperial army. They are well-trained. When I saw the army, I was very worried.
One day they will appear on the land of Europe, but I think it is unlikely. The city of Daliang is the cleanest city I have ever seen. There is not a trace of feces on the streets here, unlike Paris, which is like a cesspool."
"I plan to observe this great country and hope to meet their emperor as soon as possible. I heard that Emperor Zhu likes beautiful women. There happens to be a lady in our team. I want to find an acquaintance. I wonder if I can send Anna
Give it to the emperor, maybe I will get a title and become a noble Liangren."
