Chang Yuchun nodded and said: "That's right. It's best to remove him from his post, reduce his rank and exile him to the border, so that he can have a better memory."
Zhu Biao nodded and said nothing. There was no need to discuss the specific handling method with Chang Yuchun. This was the right of the king and no one else needed to interfere.
Zhu Biao still pities Lan Yu's talent. This person is good at fighting in harsh conditions. This is a rare skill. Zhu Biao will need him in the future. After all, places outside the Ming Dynasty are places with harsh natural conditions.
, it takes such a general to lead the army to overcome difficulties.
After that, Zhu Biao talked to Chang Yuchun about his arrangements. Chang Yuchun's attitude had always satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang, so he planned to let Chang Yuchun go to the north to guard.
Sooner or later, the Mongolian ministries will be a threat. It can take more than ten years or four or five years. Mongolia will still raise troops. Now both sides are in a stage of recuperation and recuperation, especially the Ming Dynasty. The country is full of waste and is waiting to be revitalized. How can you have the energy to go to the grassland to follow them in circles?
, what can you do if people don’t fight you.
So now we can only win over one wave and suppress the other, divide them, and prevent Mongolia from working together. In this way, their threat will be much smaller. When the Ming Dynasty is ready, it will completely take over the grassland.
Chang Yuchun is famous all over the world, and all Mongolian ministries are also aware of his abilities. If he goes to the north to guard, Mongolia will be much more stable, and Quan Xu and the others will be able to divide their work more smoothly. Among the generals who have this prestige, besides Xu Da, he is
,
Xu Da is now responsible for military affairs across the country and cannot leave the capital, so he needs to come out again. Chang Yuchun is naturally happy. He is not happy sitting in the house every day, but he has to do it in order to reassure Zhu Yuanzhang.
Of.
The general died in hundreds of battles, and Chang Yuchun never wanted to leave the army. Now that the marriage was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang also trusted him again, and he could finally regain military power.
Zhu Biao smiled and congratulated him. In fact, Chang Yuchun was able to regain military power in part because of Chang Mao. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Chang Mao's talent was average, and the Chang family was destined to rely on Zhu Biao's favor in the future, and it would be easy to retain military power in the future.
.
Unlike Xu Da's son Xu Yungong, who is a marshal. Such a person must be suppressed first, and then Zhu Biao can be kind to him before he can be appointed to a high position. Otherwise, it will not be good for him to take over Xu Da's position and gain military power.
Received.
When doing things for the king, you must be far-sighted and everything in front of you needs to serve the future, otherwise you will be too anxious and have no place to regret it.
However, Zhu Biao's purpose in talking about this matter is to hope that Chang Yuchun can preside over the restoration work in the north. The north is the place where dragon veins gather. Since ancient times, there have been many important military towns in the north, and their resources are also very rich, both from a strategic and practical perspective.
, it is necessary to develop the north.
The most important thing is transportation, sorting out canals, building official roads, and preparing for the future. These require the mobilization of large-scale labor. It is enough that Chang Yuchun can do this well in the past few years.
Chang Yuchun nodded after hearing this. He naturally understood the significance of waterway transportation. As long as it was sorted out, whether it was transporting food or soldiers, they could arrive quickly. Connecting the north and the south in this way would be of great benefit to the country.
But this is not just talk. Chang Yuchun looked at Zhu Biao and said: "I'm afraid the consumption involved is not equal to fighting two wars. Can the imperial court devote such resources now?"
Zhu Biao shook his head: "Of course it can't be taken out, so we can only wait until the Bashu land is captured before planning. However, the measurement and planning of the canal waterway must be started from now on, so as not to be in a hurry when the army is free.
Some materials can be shipped.”
Chang Yuchun nodded and knew what was going on, and Zhu Biao began to talk with him in detail about the key river channels that needed to be sorted out.
The most critical one is naturally the Grand Canal. This canal was excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period, completed in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was adopted in the Yuan Dynasty.
It starts from Yuhang in the south and ends at Shuntianfu in the north, passing through the four provinces of present-day Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei, and running through the five major water systems of Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River.
By the time Zhu Biao paid attention to it, it was already somewhat abandoned. Natural and man-made disasters continued in the late Yuan Dynasty, and his court had no spare capacity to manage it, resulting in the current blockage of the river.
The canal was created for the actual purpose of water transportation. Water transportation was the life support and power supply system of the feudal dynasty, maintaining the continuation of the life of the dynasty.
This canal has gone through thousands of years. It was built during the Spring and Autumn Period to achieve military purposes. For example, the direct purpose of Wu Wangfu Chai's order to dig Hangou was to transport troops to the northern expedition to Qi State.
By the time Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's purpose was to connect the north and the south, and his motivation had gone beyond serving the purpose of military operations, because at this time the world had been unified, and the canal was also conducive to economic and political purposes.
From the perspective of the Grand Canal alone, Zhu Biao admired and thanked Yang Guang. The predecessors planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. Yang Guang ruined his own Sui Dynasty, but benefited all subsequent dynasties.
In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to connect the north and the south without detouring around Luoyang, it was necessary to dig canals to transport grain from the south to the north. To this end, three sections of rivers were dug successively, and the horizontal canal of the Sui Dynasty, which was originally centered on Luoyang, was built into a canal centered on Dadu.
, the longitudinal Grand Canal that goes south to Hangzhou.
Now, Zhu Biao has even more considerations. He wants to make full use of canal water transportation and build a large and complex water transportation system based on the canal to continuously transport materials from various places to the capital.
At present, it must be mainly for military purposes, transporting military supplies to suppress the world and sweep away the rebels, and the orders of the imperial court can also be conveyed quickly.
After the country's economy recovered to a certain level, food, silk, tea, sugar, bamboo, wood, lacquer, ceramics, etc. from the south were continuously shipped to the north, and pine wood, leather goods, coal, miscellaneous goods, etc. from the north also continued to move south through the canal. At that time, the era was changing
When there is a need for commercial transportation, the Grand Canal also advances with the times and becomes a river for commercial transportation and a river for people's transportation.
It was because of the ambitious goal that Zhu Biao asked Chang Yuchun to spend two or three years planning and preparing. Of course, he would also send people from the Ministry of Works to assist. Chang Yuchun mainly wanted to use his name as his prestige could make it easier to handle some things.
Although some parts of the canal are blocked, there are still many sections that are not affected. Such huge benefits naturally attract many aristocratic families. Cleaning up the canal is a good thing for the country, and it is not bad for them, but there are always short-sighted people.
Chang Yuchun's role has become apparent. Chang Shiwan's reputation as a murderer in the early years was not just blown away. Chang Yuchun does not need to give anyone face now. He cares about the interests of the Zhu family more than anyone else. After all, it is very likely that he will do so in the future.
They are all his grandson's family property.
When it comes to interests, human relations are not so easy to use. Beating and killing is not a good idea. Killing is a method, and Zhu Biao will not be merciful when necessary.
Zhu Biao spent two hours carefully explaining the matter to Chang Yuchun in order to ensure that Chang Yuchun could handle it clearly when he fell down. There would be no chaos in Mongolia in recent years, so Chang Yuchun had plenty of time.
