"Your Highness, are you excited?" That night, Zhu Biao told Liu Ji the news with a look of joy on his face.
Then, Lao Liu, who was drinking tea, spit out a mouthful of strong tea with a look of disbelief on his face.
"How is this possible?" Liu Ji looked confused.
For more than a month, he came to the Prince's Mansion every night, and he could know Zhu Biao's martial arts training progress very well.
Yesterday, Zhu Biao didn't even touch the edge of Jin, but today, he suddenly became Jin?
This is very unreasonable.
"Maybe I am a martial arts wizard!" Zhu Biao looked at Liu Ji with a smile on his face.
These days, how could he not notice that Liu Ji wanted him to abandon martial arts and become civil servants?
Zhu Biao understood this very well. The civil servants did not want to see the emperor being martial.
In the Ming Dynasty, apart from Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the only Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao who could be regarded as Emperor Wu was almost hacked by the civil servants.
But understanding is understanding, he still has to continue practicing martial arts when it is time.
Including him, most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were short-lived.
He was too lazy to care about the affairs of future generations, but he himself still wanted to live a long life.
It is too difficult to develop medicine in this era, and the only option is to practice martial arts.
"His Royal Highness does have some talent in martial arts, but he cannot be called a genius!"
Liu Ji put away the shock in his heart and began to habitually attack Zhu Biao's self-confidence in martial arts: "Your Highness, does he know how long it took me to get started?"
"One day?" Zhu Biao asked with a smile.
"Ahem...!" Liu Ji was so stunned by Zhu Biao's words that he didn't know how to answer.
However, he quickly forced his respect and said: "It's almost the same. It took me seven days in total to learn martial arts."
"Of course I don't mean to show off to His Highness by saying this!"
"I want to tell your highness that in fact, people like me are not martial arts wizards. There are too many in the world."
"Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, who is born with such talent, and has mastered martial arts at the age of fourteen or fifteen, can be called a martial arts wizard!"
"Bullshit!" Zhu Biao muttered silently in his heart.
There is nothing wrong with saying that people like Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba are martial arts wizards, but it is pure nonsense to say that there are so many people like Liu Bowen in the world who are as strong as a cow.
If martial arts were so easy to get started, sects such as the Sun Moon God Sect, Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei would have appeared long ago to cause trouble. How could the Ming Dynasty be so easy to establish a country?
However, Zhu Biao just vomited this sentence in his heart, Liu Bowen still had to give him face.
He pretended to sigh, and suddenly stood up and said: "Since your talent is not as good as others, you can only make up for your weakness with hard work. Sir, you also asked me to teach me the moves of Wu Qin Xi after I become energetic. I will practice diligently and live up to your ardent expectations."
.”
Liu Ji almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this.
Do I want you to study hard and practice hard? What I want is for you to quit despite the difficulties and focus on the arts...
Why is this little Highness so poor at understanding?
Seeing Liu Ji's face turned red and unable to say a word, Zhu Biao suppressed a smile and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Liu, don't you want to teach me?"
"Then I have no choice but to ask my father for advice. I heard that he is also a master of Fusion Energy, so I think it's not a bad idea!"
"Don't!"
Hearing this, Liu Ji hurriedly stopped him and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, please spare me. Your Majesty already has a lot of prejudices against me. If he thinks that I don't want to teach Your Highness, I'm afraid I will suffer a lot."
"Then there is Mr. Lao!" Zhu Biao turned around and bowed to Liu Ji as a disciple with a solemn expression.
Seeing Zhu Biao's appearance, Liu Ji suddenly came to his senses.
Obviously, others have discovered my little thoughts about Zhu Biao.
"Your Highness is smart and will definitely be a wise king in the future!" Liu Ji praised with a complicated expression, but he did not dare to play tricks and began to teach Zhu Biao seriously.
After Wu Qin Xi becomes energetic, the number of moves has doubled compared to before, and it is more difficult and more difficult to practice.
But correspondingly, after entering Jin, Zhu Biao became more able to control his body and muscles. In comparison, it was actually easier than before.
After entering Jin, the next state is called Rong Jin.
The sign of reaching this state is the self-generated energy in the body, which is endless.
This is more difficult than entering the spirit.
Among the troops of the Ming Dynasty, there are no more than three hundred who have reached the Rongjin state, and the vast majority of them are now in important positions.
Those who followed Zhu Yuanzhang early were basically generals from one side.
In the third year of Hongwu's reign, most of the people who were granted the title of meritorious officials were these people.
Even latecomers can be reused, such as joining the Imperial Guards Division, the predecessor of Jinyiwei, or being assigned to be Zhu Biao's bodyguard.
Even in the martial arts world, such a figure is more than enough to be the leader of a gang and leader of a faction.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a strong person in the Rongjin Realm. Zhu Biao once heard him boast that he was also a well-known master in the world in the early years.
If he hadn't been busy with government affairs and gradually neglected his cultivation, he would have had a chance to become a master of Huajin Sect.
Another two months passed in a flash.
In these two months, Zhu Yuanzhang did a lot for the Ming Dynasty, which was in turmoil.
It can be summed up in four words.
be ennobled, move the capital
In addition to Li Zicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang created two more princes, four dukes, and sixteen marquises, all of whom were great warlords and bandit leaders north of the Yangtze River.
This time, for the knighthoods, the dukes and above are the ones with fiefdoms.
Two of the princes are Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu.
Wu Sangui was directly granted the title of Beizhili, and Zuo Liangyu was granted the title of Henan.
Zhu Yuanzhang's calculation was very clear. He sealed off all the territory to prevent them from easily thinking of surrender. After all, these were the territories of the Ming Dynasty before. They were just generals and bandits. Even if they were occupied by the Manchus, they would have nothing to worry about.
But now these have become their own territory.
How could they be willing to give up their territory?
And even if they are determined to surrender, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will no longer trust them. After all, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties can no longer give them a higher bargaining chip.
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose.
He didn't expect these people to really destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as long as they could delay it for a few years and give the Ming Dynasty a breath of relief.
As for moving the capital, it is natural to transfer the administrative center to Nanjing.
Although many ministers opposed it, Zhu Yuanzhang still managed to get this done despite all the opposition.
Beizhili was under the attack of Manchu and Qing troops, and was surrounded by rogue bandits. It was no longer suitable to serve as the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty.
In comparison, Nanjing is much more reliable.
The place is still prosperous to this day, and the only thing you have to worry about is being ignored by the officials and gentry.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang left Emperor Chongzhen with 100,000 well-trained soldiers and horses, as well as a series of tips and tricks to deal with the officials and gentry. As long as Chongzhen did not mess around, he could firmly control Nanzhili and even half of Huguang in his hands.
It is possible.
If these two things are accomplished, the life of the Ming Dynasty can be extended for at least twenty years.
As for reviving the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang never even thought about it. The Ming Dynasty was already seriously ill, and it would not be possible to save it in a short while.
If Zhu Yuanzhang had stayed here, he wouldn't have gone to such trouble. He could have just moved the capital to Nanjing with his army, killed people and ransacked their homes, distributed land to the people to restore their vitality, then reorganized the army to prepare for war, and just went on the Northern Expedition in a few years.
But unfortunately, Chongzhen was not him.
Although Chongzhen could kill, he could not kill.
Can't master the technique.
The more Zhu Yuanzhang killed, the more peaceful the world became.
If Emperor Chongzhen were replaced, I am afraid that Ming Dynasty would be killed by him soon.
It was precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang understood this that he went through all the trouble to come up with such things.
What he hoped was that under the control of all parties, the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's march south would be slowed down, until a hero in troubled times emerged who could turn the tide.
This person may not even be his descendant.
In addition to these administrative matters, Zhu Yuanzhang had already withdrawn all the troops brought by the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he had also sealed and transported all the books and items he needed back to the early Ming Dynasty.
What surprised Zhu Yuanzhang the most was a crop that he discovered by chance.
Southerners call it sweet potato, and northerners call it sweet potato. This thing has a high yield, and the yield per mu is twenty times that of ordinary grains.
And it does not require much land, so it is very suitable for planting in mountainous areas.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer, and he knew as soon as he discovered this thing that as long as this thing was popularized, the Ming Dynasty would be completely changed.
He heard that this thing had been introduced to the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, but the imperial court had not promoted its cultivation until now.
This immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang furious to death.
If this thing can be promoted, it can at least extend the life of Ming Dynasty for another fifty years.
"These civil servants, generals, emperors and eunuchs should all be dragged out and beheaded!" When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he couldn't help secretly thinking about his luck.
"Emperor!" Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not very good-looking, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"I'm leaving!" Zhu Yuanzhang's curse words came to his lips, but he came out with these four words.
"Your talents are limited, so it's really difficult for you to save the Ming Dynasty!"
"But as long as you implement my policies, let officials from all over the country do what they want, and don't be afraid of taking responsibility, even if you can't revive the Ming Dynasty, at least the Ming Dynasty will not die in your hands."
"As for the future!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly: "Just let fate happen!"
When he said this, the space door behind him slowly opened.
Without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to say anything else, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and stepped in without hesitation.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid he will never come back again.
