It was rare for Zhu Biao to be so harsh, and the officials of the Ministry of Works were so scolded that they could not care about the affairs of those craftsmen at this time. They just wanted to be submissive and send the living ancestor out of the Ministry of Works.
After a long time, Zhu Biao returned to the palace under the respectful escort of the officials from the Ministry of Industry. They did not dare to straighten up their backs after Zhu Biao's carriage had gone a long way. It is true that His Highness the Crown Prince does not get angry easily, but when he gets angry, he is thunderous and even feels worse.
Today's Saint is even more terrifying.
After all, if the Holy One is angry, he can go to the Queen and the Crown Prince to ask for a life. If the Prince is angry and goes to seek help from the Holy One, he will probably die faster...
So the officials of the Ministry of Works were preparing to perform well to make up for their mistakes. As a result, the Ministry of Works was reorganized early the next morning. Except for the Minister of the Ministry of Works, who was not moved for the time being, the ministers, ministers, etc. who were demoted were demoted and transferred out.
External call.
The newly added officials are all highly reputable officials. Many of them were secretly selected by Zhu Biao in the past two years. They have not been promoted or reused because they want to work hard, and some want to wait until Hu Weiyong.
It will be put into use after it is on the road, just to fill the vacancy of the court.
However, due to the importance of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Biao had no choice but to activate a group of people in advance. With these cornerstones and Song Lian, it was enough to keep the Ministry of Industry from being affected by political turmoil in the past few years and continue to develop steadily.
The group of experienced craftsmen and grassroots officials in the middle and lower classes can also be retained.
Zhu Biao's sudden move also caused some turmoil in the court situation, but Hu Weiyong still took the initiative to suppress it. The Ministry of Industry among the Six Ministries was not his main chess piece, and he did not want to have a direct conflict with the royal family prematurely.
Then came the day when Zhu Biao welcomed Princess Goryeo. Although the princess was getting married, she was not his legitimate wife after all, and the scale of etiquette was completely incomparable with Chang Luohua's entry into the East Palace.
Zhu Biao did not have to go to pick her up in person, but was escorted by the Ministry of Rites and the Korean envoys. Zhu Biao sat calmly in the main hall, waiting for the Korean princess to pay homage and then give some meaningful items.
If the prince's wedding is a toss-up between the prince and the princess, as well as the ups and downs of the government and the public, then the prince's recruitment of talents, selection of attendants, etc., is the torment only for the woman. After bowing to Zhu Biao, she has to serve tea outside Chang Luohua's room.
The concubine will also be rewarded.
Looking at that graceful figure, Zhu Biao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, hoping that he would be a law-abiding person like his reputation.
This was the first time that Zhu Biao saw his appearance as a talented person. He looked pretty good and had a good figure. She was not a beauty. Not to mention that compared to Chang Luohua, she was Yun Jinnuan.
Jade is more beautiful than her.
But it doesn't matter, political marriage is just like that, everyone gets what they need. If we really want to talk about it, then Lao Zhu's harem is really not that good, Lao Zhu didn't accept it the same way.
Of course, for people with that kind of appearance, their families would usually arrange for several beautiful maids to accompany them to the palace to serve them. This is basically an established rule. After all, the purpose of marriage is to achieve cooperation, not to disgust people.
As for whether the woman is willing or not, we can only say that her will is not important in this era, and most women have been subtly influenced by their ideas, so they do not find it difficult to accept it. We cannot judge the ancients based on the thinking patterns of future generations.
Behavioral concept.
After she went down, Zhu Biao looked at the time and walked towards the Jinshen Hall. Nowadays, the south is getting more and more stable, but the north is full of rain. With the continuous snowfall in the north, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to understand in detail.
The situation on the grassland.
It was only known through sporadic information that the Oara envoys frequently contacted the Tatar tribes, and several tribes close to the northern territory of the Ming Dynasty had already begun to migrate.
As for the tribes led by Tianbaonu, they tried their best to stick to the northern defense line. Tianbaonu himself also kept urging the Ming Dynasty to allow them to garrison the Great Wall and defend together with the Ming Dynasty.
It was naturally impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to agree. Although Tianbaonu had surrendered, who knew what the tribal chiefs under his command thought. You must know that since Tuogu Si Timur was killed and usurped by Yesudier, the former Mongolian prince
It's far less beautiful than it used to be.
As soon as Zhu Biao passed the Huagai Hall, he bumped into Hu Weiyong and others. Seeing that they were walking in a hurry, Zhu Biao was not polite. After they saluted, he said no courtesy and passed them.
Entering the Jinshen Hall, you can see a group of eunuchs in the center of the hall holding a map of the northern terrain, and Zhu Yuanzhang is standing in front of the map, frowning and looking at it. Zhu Biao walked over and saluted and said: "It seems that there is a letter from Commander Chang. The Northern Wara Tatars
Is there any movement?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to reply: "Not only did Chang Yuchun send us an urgent military report, but we also received a battle message from Yesudier."
As soon as Zhu Biao waved, Liu Jin bent down to the desk and took out the letter, which was obviously in the prairie style. Zhu Biao read it briefly, and he didn't know who Yesudie'er had hired to catch the knife. This letter was written
It's quite interesting.
At the beginning, he praised his bloodline from Genghis Khan, and then said that he was the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty who was destined to be the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
The traitors who rebelled and took over the throne, etc.
All in all, it was a threatening letter, requiring the Ming Dynasty to cede the northern territories first, and for Zhu Yuanzhang to retreat to the capital as emperor, and then provide three million shi of grain and various other things before he would be merciful and allow the Ming Dynasty to serve as the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
The vassal state continues to exist, otherwise there will be a bloody massacre when the army breaks the city...
After reading this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought that Yesudier could use the power of Wala to attack and kill Tuogusi Timur, and he could also successfully rise to power, and he could be regarded as a tycoon, but he didn't expect that
It’s really disappointing that we are still using such childish methods.”
Zhu Yuanzhang also snorted and said: "It is rumored that heavy snow has fallen in the northernmost part of the grassland. Many nomadic tribes have completely lost the news. There are also many Mongolian livestock that have been frozen to death. As the snow gets heavier, there may be a war."
It will break out within the next month or two."
"I think it's only this month. When this kind of arrow has to be fired, the sooner the war starts, the better it will be for Mongolia. This is probably the reason why Yesudie'er specially sent a war seal to try to anger you."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed out several passes and said: "We are going to dispatch 80,000 troops from the capital camp to go north. This is the first time that Yesudier has started a war with the Ming Dynasty since he came to power. Although he was forced by natural disasters, he must hope to make a name for himself.
Otherwise, his status will definitely be unstable after this battle, and the Tatar kings will not miss this opportunity. We heard that he only has one weak and sick son so far."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he also looked at the topographic map solemnly. Yesudie'er relied on the Oara to rebel and rise to power. However, even in the heyday of the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties, the Oara people usually called themselves Oirat people instead of Mongolians. After all, they and the Mongolian headquarters
are different.
Yesudie'er, a descendant of Ali Buge, is probably not one of their own in the eyes of the Wala people. It can only be said that it is a test by the Linzhong tribe to break away from the grassland tribe. The two parties are not masters and servants, but a partnership of interests.
There are rumors that the various tribes of Wala rely on their strong strength and support to be very domineering and regard Yesudier as a puppet...
Zhu Biao put himself in his shoes and thought, if he were Yesudier, then faced with this situation, he would definitely try to get off to a good start and win over the hearts of the various Tatar tribes with the prestige brought by victory.
As long as there are more and more grassland tribes under his command, he will have the capital to reverse the situation, completely subdue the Oara tribe in the forest, and reunite Mongolia as a whole instead of separate tribes.
"Father, who are you going to let lead the army? Marquis Nanxiong and Marquis Dongping have been sent to escort food and wages. There are not many generals left in the capital. Duke Ying is still in charge of the capital camp and the governor's office, so it is difficult to move lightly.
"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and said, "Are those boys like Xu Yungong not back yet?"
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and then replied: "They haven't come back yet. Although the thorough investigation of the smuggling and smuggling case at the border has come to an end for the time being, I am still prepared to let them stay at the border and follow Chang Shuai to see the blood."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at his son and said: "Their own fathers are both generals. What they can learn by following the rear has already been learned. What more can be learned by following Chang Yuchun? I really want to hone myself and become a general who can command troops."
You have to go to the battlefield and roll around among the dead, but you are still too soft-hearted, Biao."
"We know that you are interested in those boys and are reluctant to beat them, but you have to remember, no matter how outstanding the quality of the jade is, if you are not willing to polish it, it will always be a jade. Otherwise, there is a saying that jade cannot be used unless it is polished."
Zhu Biao sighed and said: "It's not that I don't understand the principle that jade cannot be used until it is polished, but I just don't want the soldiers to die innocently because of their immature command..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with gentleness, but his mouth was more stern: "Compassion does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth, and love does not establish affairs. If you think like this, how many generals can there be in this world?"
Zhu Biao remained silent. One general succeeded in killing ten thousand bones. Among these ten thousand bones, there were never only the corpses of the enemy...
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and pointed at the pass and said: "This time we will focus on holding on. Relying on the food you brought from Jiangnan and the civilian carbon, our Ming Dynasty will rarely fight a rich war."
Zhu Biao also adjusted his mood instantly. Although it was a little earlier than he planned, it was only a matter of time before Xu Yungong and others took over one side. As the founders of the country grew older, it was normal for the military power to gradually transition.
In fact, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others are gradually giving in. The Mesozoic led by Li Wenzhong has gradually become the main force. It is also time to train Xu Yungong and others as reserve forces.
After this battle is over, Chang Yuchun should return to Beijing. From the day those two children were born, the Chang family was destined to be unable to take charge of the military. If the war was not imminent, changing commanders before the battle was detrimental to morale, Chang Yuchun would probably have
