Chapter 383 As long as I surrender quickly enough, Ming can’t beat me
After hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhu Biao understood that the imperial palace in Yanjing during the Ming Dynasty was just an infrastructure construction project. Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty. It was not impossible for the national treasury to pay for Zhu Yuanzhang.
At least Zhu Biao thinks it makes sense.
Moreover, the construction projects in the north now only include roads and railways, which are still far behind those in the south. The most important thing is that there is no money. With less money, it is difficult to do things. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Han built the new capital of the Ming Dynasty in
Yanjing also had the idea of revitalizing northern industry.
Well, Yanjing is a good choice.
Zhu Yuanzhang made the final decision: "Then it will be in Yanjing. I will personally supervise the construction of the palace!"
When he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to personally supervise the construction of the Yanjing Palace, Zhu Han immediately rejected it: "Brother, you should not participate in the construction of this palace... right?"
Zhu Han's words made Zhu Yuanzhang a little dissatisfied: "Why don't you let us participate? We will live in it from now on."
"Well...brother, you don't know how to spend money."
Zhu Han said Zhu Yuanzhang's "picking" in a more acceptable way, and then looked at Zhu Biao... Forget it, he doesn't know how to spend money.
Could it only be Zhu Han?
Zhu Han said that he was lazy and didn't want to do it.
After thinking about it, Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, this matter can be left to Li Shanchang. He is more willing to spend money."
Li Shanchang was once the person who built Zhu Yuanzhang's palace in Fengyang. Although he did not do it in this life, he was the most suitable candidate to hand it over to Li Shanchang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Han mention Li Shanchang, he looked at Zhu Han and said, "Why do we think that the most suitable person to supervise the construction of the palace is you Qiwu?"
Zhu Biao also nodded: "I also think you are the most suitable candidate."
"...You two, father and son, want me to work as a labor force, right? Don't even think about it!"
Zhu Han immediately refused and said to the father and son: "I can come up with ideas, but it is more appropriate for Li Shanchang to do it."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Han's words, he immediately said: "Then it's settled, Qiwu you will help us build the palace, let Li Shanchang assist you, and Liu Ji... That old boy is nagging, when the time comes to build the palace, he
You have to get involved.”
After talking about the arrangements, Zhu Yuanzhang added another sentence: "Well, we have found helpers for you. You can't refuse anymore. Just let them do anything. You can still be idle, right?"
Zhu Biao: Yes, yes, yes.
As for Zhu Han...he can no longer object now: "Okay, then let Liu Ji and Li Shanchang come to me later. It's just about spending money. I'm the best at it."
The Ming Dynasty chose a site to build the palace. None of the ministers objected to this matter. On the contrary, they were very happy. They all wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to leave, and then followed Zhu Biao around. During the two years when they followed Zhu Biao as a minister, the courtiers felt that
It is particularly comfortable, and there is no scruple between the monarch and his ministers. They say whatever they say, unlike when Zhu Yuanzhang was around, while bearing the high pressure given by Zhu Yuanzhang, he had to be careful not to touch Zhu Yuanzhang's reverse scales.
How should I put it? When the ministers followed Zhu Yuanzhang, they felt like slaves, being ordered around by Zhu Yuanzhang. But when they followed Zhu Biao, they felt like human beings.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to build a new palace in Yanjing. Although it would cost a lot, the courtiers did not mention the cost. Some courtiers even donated money out of their own pockets to help Zhu Yuanzhang's new palace be completed as soon as possible. They all wanted to send Zhu Yuanzhang away.
.
After Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he was a little depressed. Could it be that he was so unpopular?
Those ministers... all need to be dealt with!
He ordered people to secretly write down the names of those ministers, and prepared to take those people away with him after moving the capital to Yanjing.
After Li Shanchang and Liu Ji received Zhu Yuanzhang's order to cooperate with Zhu Han in building the new palace, they did not find it difficult. It was up to Zhu Han to see how he would do it.
The two went to Zhu Han to inquire about the construction of the new Ming Dynasty Palace. Zhu Han only had one condition:
In order to make the Ming Dynasty Palace in Yanjing feel like conquering the world, anyone who comes to Yanjing must know the places that the Ming Dynasty conquered.
"If we just simply build a palace, the ministers of the Ministry of Industry are more professional than us. And the Ming Dynasty not only faces the Ming Dynasty, but also overseas enclaves. The Ming Dynasty must tolerate the world and all things."
Zhu Han did not tell Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen in detail how the palace should be built, but mentioned the reasons for building a new palace.
Tolerate the world, tolerate all things...
This is the essence that the new Ming Dynasty Palace should embody.
Li Shanchang immediately grasped the key point: "When I heard what you said Qiwu, I knew what to do... Putting aside everything else, we are going to build the largest library in the world in the palace and move all the books from overseas.
Come over here and compile it together."
Books are the things that can best control people's hearts. Because of Zhu Han, Li Shanchang has a better and stronger vision than before. He knows that there are other meanings in Zhu Han's words: Ming Dynasty needs to let those overseas enclaves
The people in the Ming Dynasty realized that they could have a better life only by surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.
"If we build a palace that can encompass the whole world, we should consider the entire city. For example...building a school! Let them learn the top knowledge only from the school in Yanjing."
Liu Bowen also mentioned the construction of Yanjing. If we want to achieve the goals mentioned by Zhu Han, we cannot only consider the construction of one palace, but the entire city should be considered.
Seeing that both Li Shanchang and Liu Ji understood what he meant, Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction: "Well, now that you have your own understanding, just do it according to your ideas. If you are not sure about anything, come back to me."
I."
"yes."
Li Shanchang and Liu Ji bowed to accept the order. As for the cost of the new palace... Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen didn't ask, and Zhu Han didn't mention it. It was obvious that they didn't take the cost budget seriously. This was a disguised way of telling them: money
There are plenty of them, and they can be made!
Today's Ming Dynasty, as long as the budget is sufficient, is it still worried about not being able to recruit craftsmen? Can't it find enough materials?
In previous dynasties, including when the palace was built in Yingtian, building materials were provided from various places, but now there is no need. When Zhu Yuanzhang announced this in the court, he had informed everyone that the money for the construction of the palace would be drawn from the national treasury.
, there is no such thing as 'offering'.
There was nothing to offer. Ming Dynasty now had money and could not spend it all, so Zhu Yuanzhang was also very generous.
The imperial palace... ah no, it is the construction of the imperial city. In fact, it has another meaning: to stimulate the economy to a higher level.
The economy of the Ming Dynasty has reached a stage where it must be stimulated to develop rapidly. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the speed of the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable, so he naturally wanted to contribute to the development of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not just money... just spend it!
…
At this time, in the distant city of Constantinople, the restless Ming sergeants were preparing to start fighting again.
The two Ming generals in Constantine were replaced by brothers Guo Xing and Guo Ying, and the person in charge of management here was still Zhou Buxin.
Zhang Dingbian has fought almost all the battles he can, and the Ming Dynasty Army in the north has swept across Northern Europe and Tsarist Russia from the north with a devastating force. Today, there is no place in Europe that has been conquered, only Valu is still fighting.
The Watts Dynasty and England.
Guo Xing and Guo Ying followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the north and south, and indeed made great achievements in military affairs. However, they have never participated in a war to destroy the country like this. They heard from overseas generals from time to time that they would destroy the country.
In the battle report, Guo Xing and Guo Ying were envious and jealous.
Now, the two brothers finally have the opportunity to lead troops to fight overseas. How can they not be excited? They are gearing up to realize their dream of destroying the country.
But after arriving in Rome, Guo Xing and Guo Yingcai discovered that...the battles that should be fought have basically been fought, and the countries that should be destroyed have almost been destroyed. Are the remaining two countries...enough to fill their teeth?
Guo Xing and Guo Ying were a little disappointed, and they scolded Lan Yu and Zhang Dingbian for being useless. The two of them had a great time fighting. Who can fight with the remaining country?
Complaints are complaints, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are, which is better than nothing.
The two brothers began to make preparations to attack the Valois Dynasty, and at the same time they ordered the navy to advance together to attack England.
There are more wolves than meat, and now there are only two dynasties left in Europe, the Valois and the English. And the surrounding Ming army, in addition to the two brothers Guo Xing and Guo Ying, also has Geng Junyong, Tang Shengzong and other generals in the north. They are also howling.
Wolves come overseas with the intention of destroying the country. If Guo Xing and Guo Ying start late, they won't even be able to drink the soup.
As for the Valois Dynasty and England...these two countries will now have a war that will last for a hundred years. They were also forced to cease the war because of the Ming Dynasty's strong invasion of Europe. When they learned that the Ming Dynasty had swept across the entire European continent, they all became trembling.
stand up.
Today's Ming Dynasty reminds them of the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry a hundred years ago. At that time, the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry swept across the European continent, killing people in almost all countries.
Why did the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry cause such a big psychological shadow on Europeans?
It's very simple. The Meng Yuan Dynasty was too cruel because the battle line was too long. In order to occupy more land, the Meng Yuan cavalry always attacked and grabbed whatever land they could. The Ming people were even more ferocious than the Meng Yuan cavalry. Even they
Rome, which they thought could never be defeated, was defeated. How could they not be afraid?
In order to stop the Ming Dynasty, the rulers of the Valois dynasty and the English dynasty have now begun to put aside their past grievances and unite together.
It's impossible not to unite. If we don't unite, the country will be beaten to pieces by the Ming army.
But after they learned about the military power of Ming Dynasty around them, they all became numb...
Even if they are united together, they are no match for Ming Dynasty.
130,000 Ming troops and 270,000 servants, not counting the navy's warships...
Just thinking about it makes me feel that the military power of the Ming Dynasty is terrifying.
What should I do if I can’t beat him?
Today, the king of the Valois Dynasty is still Charles V. He has seen with his own eyes how the Ming army swept across the world. Especially two years ago, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty visited the world just to find a suitable place for the emperor to take a vacation.
The generals of the Ming army directly cut off a piece of land from the edge of the Valois Dynasty, swept through thousands of armies, and made Charles V fearful.
How can such a country be defeated?
or……
An idea came to Charles V's mind: If you can't beat him, join him!
Since Ming Dynasty is so strong, why not join?
Regardless of whether they resisted or not, their final result was a complete defeat. The most important thing was that the Valois Dynasty was closer to the Ming Dynasty. It was on the same continent, but it was different in England. They were on an island in the sea.
Even if they were defeated, the worst they could do was retreat to the island.
No matter how I think about it, I feel that I am more at a disadvantage here.
After the idea of 'joining the Ming Dynasty' came into Charles V's mind, he got out of control. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that joining the Ming Dynasty was the best time for the Valois Dynasty. If he waited for the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to attack, it would be too late.
Yes.
Thinking of this, Charles V immediately took action: he first sent his ministers as envoys to the Ming Dynasty to test the Ming Dynasty's ideas.
…
Guo Ying was preparing for war. Hearing the news that Guo Xing came to see him, he immediately returned to the camp. When he learned that the Valois Dynasty had sent an envoy to discuss surrender, his eyes widened immediately: "What, the Valois Dynasty wants to
Surrender? No! Absolutely not!"
Damn it, I was just trying to bring down the Valois Dynasty and gain military merit, but you damn girl said you want to surrender?
How can such a good thing happen?
Seeing that his military exploits are about to fly away, how can Guo Ying agree?
You know, now that Guo Xing and Guo Ying have arrived in Rome, it will only take a few months for the Valois Dynasty to surrender as soon as they arrive... The Valois Dynasty surrendered not only because of the pressure given to them by Zhang Dingbian and Lan Yu
Too much? Otherwise, how could Charles V know who Guo Xing and Guo Ying were?
"What can we do if we don't agree? Is there really no chance of a war?"
Guo Xing also regretted that the military merits he had received were about to fly away, but he still had some sense and advised Guo Ying: "Okay... there are many military merits, but now they don't want to fight, why should we waste our little thoughts?
Besides, even if Zhang Dingbian and Lan Yu have this military merit, they may not dare to ask for it."
Seeing Guo Ying's confusion, Guo Xing continued: "If nothing else, let's just say that the military merits accumulated by the two of them are enough to be crowned kings. But in our Ming Dynasty, except for the 'Zhu' surname, who else can be crowned kings?
Can you be crowned king? If they really dare to ask for it, can our Majesty give it to them?"
"In other words, no matter whether there is a war or not, these military achievements belong to our brothers?"
Guo Ying said something, and when she saw Guo Xing nodding seriously, Guo Ying felt depressed.
What kind of military merit is this?
He not only wants military glory, but also wants to fight!
Let’s fight!
After thinking about it, Guo Ying said to Guo Xing: "Brother, we have to act quickly. The Valois Dynasty is going to surrender, but what about England? They can't bear the pressure, and they must also want to surrender, so they must do it quickly.
We must defeat England before they surrender!"
As long as your surrender speed is not as fast as my attack speed, your surrender will not count.
"……late."
Guo Xing said depressedly, facing Guo Ying's doubtful eyes, he said: "Before the Valois Dynasty sent people over, the envoy from England arrived and said that he was willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and cooperated with the Ming Dynasty to attack the Valois Dynasty.
, also said that King Charles V of the Valois Dynasty was a very insidious guy, so let us not believe them easily."
