As the sand table continued to expand, there was no room for it in the royal study.
Li Yunze simply set aside a large hall to place the sand table.
His family does not have a large population, and he is not interested in starting such a huge group like Li Longji. There are plenty of empty rooms.
After handling official duties every day, I would go horse riding and archery to keep fit, and then I would come here to explore and explore the sand table.
What does it mean to open up a map? That's what he did.
Li Yunze was in a good mood today because he once again sent troops to conquer the rebellious Zhang Fu in Annan and won a victory on the front line.
Not only did they severely damage the main force of the rebels, they even captured the leader of the rebels, Li Shi.
Zhang Fu sent a message of victory and said that he would send Li to the capital to present the victory to the emperor's imperial temple.
Li Yunze quickly sent an envoy to respond, "No need to go to such trouble, just deal with it directly."
Under the Ming Dynasty's forcible suppression regardless of cost, Annan could no longer make any waves.
After all, all they can really rely on is hot weather and local pathogen-carrying mosquitoes.
We can find ways to deal with the weather, and even mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses from the south to fight.
As for mosquito bites, Li Yunze in the modern world ordered large quantities of insecticides, as well as various supplies and medicines in the name of exporting to Africa.
I dare not say that these things will be able to run rampant in the dense forests in the south from now on, but the corresponding losses will definitely be greatly reduced.
He drew a circle with his finger on Caiyunzhinan, turned his head and told the new academicians not far away to "draw up a decree and order the Yunnan Mu family to send troops to Burma."
The last imperial court of the Ming Dynasty was overthrown and exterminated by Burma, and the last emperor was handed over to Wu Sangui to be strangled with a bowstring.
Others don't know about the blood and tears of "The Difficulty of Cursed Water", but Li Yunze knows it very well.
"Tell Mu Sheng." Li Yunze, who didn't know how to shake his head, said with a hint of coldness in his words, "Money, food, supplies, troops, horses, ordnance. Give whatever you want. There will never be any arrears, deductions, or wastage. If
Yes, anyone from the cabinet minister to the grain escort officer can be killed
Can be copied."
"I only want Burma, and if I defeat him, Mu Sheng will be a hero. The Mu family no longer need to be called Mu Prince's Mansion, they can truly be called Mu Prince!"
Although the Mu family has always been called Prince Mu's Palace, they are indeed the real kings in Caiyunnan.
But in fact, their family's hereditary title is Duke of Guizhou.
Moreover, in history, only Mu Ying and Mu Sheng were posthumously granted the title of king. The others, until the last generation, including Mu Tianbo who died for his country in the Curse Water Disaster, were all just Dukes of Guizhou.
The academician walking in front of the emperor wrote the imperial edict sent to Mu Sheng quickly.
"You must give special instructions." Li Yunze kept his eyes on the Burmese ground. "Ask him to clean up this place. Remember, it must be clean! If he can't do it, his Duke Qian will not want it either."
In order to win over people's hearts, Li Yunze had to accept all kinds of tricks like "this is what I want to give you" to Zhu Zhanyong, who was imprisoned.
In essence, Li Yunze has begun to gradually restrict and neglect these nobles who cannot be promoted.
On the one hand, there is no way to advance, so how can you upgrade once you reach the rank of King?
On the other hand, Li Yunze offered it, so they responded directly.
Perhaps in the eyes of the nobles of Jingnan, this incident was an overtime match in the battle of Jingnan, and they deserved the credit.
But Li Yunze doesn't see it that way.
So he began to vigorously promote and reuse those who were not involved in this matter.
The same was true for Zhang Fu who was using troops in Annan, Fan Zhong who went to the Nurgandu Si Liting to clean holes, Zheng He who was preparing a super-large invincible fleet to go to sea, and Mu Sheng at this time.
Li Yunze became extremely angry when he thought of this.
He immediately asked the serving eunuch to "go to the Han Dynasty Palace and ask Zhu Zhanyong why he hasn't finished copying the Filial Piety Classic that has been copied a thousand times! Tell the King of Han that if he misses one copy, he will give him a whip!"
The eunuch hurriedly saluted and left. The bachelor over there had written the imperial edict, dried it and brought it over to Li Yunze for review.
After checking it carefully, Li Yunze felt that there was nothing to add, so he took out the emperor's seal and "sent it to the Cabinet Office for issuance."
Li Yunze's eyes stayed on the dense jungle in the south for a long time.
After Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng had settled Annan and Burma, they then attacked from the east and west and completely brought this peninsula within the scope of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the back garden reserved by Li Yunze for Ming Dynasty, and it must be in his own hands.
After that, we will continue to go south, and the entire Spice Islands and the continent further south will also be included in the direct jurisdiction.
In short, all places that the Ming Dynasty ships can reach within a month must be included in the direct category.
After arranging things in the south, Li Yunze turned his eyes back and looked at an island country that could be called a barrier.
"The movement here is too slow."
After checking the relevant reports, Li Yunze expressed his dissatisfaction: "The fight was not fierce enough, and the losses were far from expected. Send a message to Xia Yuanji and ask him to find a way to make the Japanese country boil, like a burning fire cooking oil!
"
During this era, Japan's silver production accounted for one-third of the world's production.
For Ming Dynasty, which lacks precious metals, there are so many gold mountains and silver seas at the doorstep, but because the old man dares not to buy them, it is simply ridiculous.
Of course, the more important reason is that they don't know.
Li Yunze knew this, so he instigated the Japanese state to cause chaos and frantically consumed his own strength. While freeing up a large amount of land and concubines for the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty, he also provided sufficient labor for the mines everywhere.
Li Yunze's mining is completely predatory, that is, he wants to dig out the most minerals in the shortest time.
By the time the mining is finished, there won't be many men left on the island.
At that time, they will all be moved to various small islands in the sea to become indigenous people, and immigrants from the Ming Dynasty will be sent to take over everything and set up prefectures in counties.
In order to achieve this goal, Japan's current losses are still too small, which makes Li Yunze very dissatisfied with the cabinet's ability to act.
It is necessary to increase the power of agitation and funding to make the Japanese country completely popular.
After all, food in the ground can grow year after year, crop after crop.
But men need at least ten years of nurturing.
Recalling all the evil deeds of the Japanese country in his mind, Li Yunze's eyes glowed red.
What's wrong with the parallel world? In the parallel world, the beasts don't even have a chance to be born!
Even if he did, he would have to be born on a shabby island with nothing but coconut trees and guano.
All he could do was spend the whole day wearing a skirt made of leaves, touching crabs and picking out bird eggs.
As for the land, they can't even see it.
Li Yunze, who finished tonight's map opening, went back with satisfaction.
Today I didn't go to the imperial concubine's place, but to the queen Hu Shanxiang's place.
In fact, when Li Yunze was resting, he spent most of his time at the Queen's place getting injections and infusions.
After all, the queen has a legitimate son, and the last bit of self-imposed anger and unwillingness is finally over.
To this end, he even specifically sought out experts in the modern world to ask about Hu Shanxiang.
"His Majesty."
When he saw Li Yunze come in, Hu Shanxiang, who was drinking soup and medicine, quickly put down the medicine bowl and stood up to salute.
"No need to be polite."
Waving his hand, he signaled the eunuchs and palace maids to go out. Li Yunze stepped forward to pick up the decoction and sniffed it, "Is this the secret recipe I brought back?"
Hu Shanxiang blushed and nodded shyly.
The emperor specially got her the magic medicine to have an heir, which really touched her and she felt that the emperor was really kind to her.
So when you serve, do whatever you want.
"Drink first and then talk." Li Yunze smiled and handed over the medicine bowl.
After Hu Shanxiang drank up all the relevant potions, Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's continue with the follow-up treatment steps."
The follow-up treatment after taking the medicine is, of course, injections and infusions.
Not only is the medicine powerful, but it also works quickly.
Time passed by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, the first year of Hongxi passed and turned into the Xuande year.
In the bright spring season, Li Yunze was in an imperial village outside the capital city, instructing the tenants of the imperial village to do spring plowing.
Don't laugh at him, this is indeed true, he is indeed guiding the farmers who work with the land all day long in spring plowing.
He is not arrogant, but what he planted this time are high-yielding grains he brought from the modern world.
It’s not rice flour or corn, it’s soybeans.
Soybeans are undoubtedly good and can provide a large amount of oil when pressed.
The people of Huangming were short of oil and water, so soybeans could provide sufficient oil.
And the pressed bean dregs are also excellent feed.
Not only can it be used to feed poultry and livestock to increase the supply of meat for the people, but it can also be made into bean cakes and supplied to the horses when the army goes on an expedition.
Therefore, the promotion and cultivation of soybeans is very important.
The soybean seeds purchased by Li Yunze have high yields and high oil yields. However, the land selection is relatively difficult, and the planting steps are also more complicated. He must personally train a group of people, and then let them continue to promote it on a large scale.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Xia Yuanji, the chief minister of the cabinet, actually rode to the imperial village in person.
Li Yunze, who rolled up his sleeves and stood in the field with a hoe in his hand, looked at his beaming expression and immediately smiled, "The Xia Qing family came all the way here. It seems they have good news."
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."
A beaming Xia Yuanji saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital has confirmed that the Queen Mother is pregnant."
Li Yunze raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly, "This is indeed good news."
The emperor's greatest weakness is that he has no queen.
The most important reason why Zhu Qizhen lost his throne in the coup was that he had no son.
Yu Qian was also implicated. Not only was he killed, but his daughter was also given to the Mongols to humiliate and ravage. Zhu Qizhen is really a beast!
Li Yunze hated two things most in his life. One was kneeling down and licking foreigners, so he had no good impressions of a certain family, a certain surname, and those civil servants.
What’s more, the girl is given away to get married, and the boy dies with a cry of death?!
So no matter whether Hu Shanxiang can get pregnant or not, Sun Ruowei will never think about it in this life.
Seeing that Li Yunze seemed not to be in high spirits, Xia Yuanji was a little confused.
After all, to an emperor, is there anything more important than an heir?
He paused and told the second happy event.
"Your Majesty, Fan Zhong has sent good news. There are no organized Tatar Jurchens at Nuergandusi."
"Hahahahahaha~~~"
Li Yunze suddenly threw away his hoe and immediately looked up to the sky and smiled like a madman.
"Okay, okay! It's hard to calm down, but I finally calmed down!"
Seeing Li Yunze who seemed to be in madness, Xia Yuanji was shocked and cursed.
"Sure enough, he is as war-mad as Taizong, and fighting is more important than his son!"
