Chapter 303 Yuanzhang was shocked, this is an artifact!
"Okay, Li Xiao really has a way to deal with this group of people."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the letter on the table in surprise, which recorded Li Xiao's actions during this period.
First, he trained the talents for three months, training them into officials who were bold and daring to act.
In the past, when those poor scholars met villains, they would be terrified if they threatened them casually. However, after some training by Li Xiao, they all became shrewd and capable, and even learned some skills in leading soldiers.
In the future, these people will also be able to fight against the local evil forces. I have to say that Li Xiao's series of training is quite effective.
Afterwards, rewards and punishments were clearly defined, murder was a deterrent, or court officials were recruited, and the Jinyiwei was secretly reorganized. A series of measures were implemented, and at the speed of thunder, the magistrates and county magistrates everywhere had to obey Li Xiao's orders.
In the end, he personally acted, issued a series of new laws of the Ming Dynasty, and suppressed them with the army, and the alliance of these powerful families immediately collapsed.
Even if someone resisted, it didn't take long to eliminate them.
"What? Are the flintlocks lost among the people?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that a family dared to come out to resist with flintlock guns, he couldn't help being angry, thinking that these gentry and country gentry really are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Before the imperial court did not interfere with their rights, everything was safe and sound, but once their rights were interfered, they dared to resist openly.
This is still when I am in power. If I and the fourth child are not around in the future, these people will definitely not deal with them so much.
"The clans of the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties serve as lessons from the past."
For the past few years, Zhu Yuanzhang has been doing nothing but researching history and reading history books all day, regardless of government affairs. In particular, Beiqing University has a subject called Historiography, which specializes in the study of history, so Zhu Yuanzhang also took some textbooks from there to read. In this way, there is a new insight into the rise and fall of the dynasty.
The disadvantages of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were that the powerful families had their hands on the imperial power, controlled the court, and controlled the imperial examinations, so that the ascending channel was controlled in the hands of a few people.
The 28 aristocratic families have strangled the path of ascension, and the common people have been unable to ascend. Huangchao failed to pass the imperial examination several times, and several times the descendants of the aristocratic families replaced him, and he felt resentful.
So I wrote "When autumn comes and September [-]th, I will kill the flowers after they bloom. The fragrance of the sky penetrates Chang'an and the whole city is full of golden armor."
After the uprising, he led an army of 30 people into Chang'an and massacred the family members because of his hatred for them.
It was at this time that the aristocratic family was destroyed.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world, but the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty became a new family with the passage of time, because there will always be new dignitaries who will emerge in order to consolidate their status.
"So, the disadvantage of our Ming Dynasty now is that these gentry are powerful. No matter how I suppress them, we still have to rely on them to help us govern the people. But now the establishment of the Tongue District will completely solve this problem once and for all."
Zhu Yuanzhang watched these gentry and powerful gradually disappear, and felt indescribably happy in his heart, and in the future, his government orders will be directly issued to the district, and he will truly manage the people of the world.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had this idea before. He has a strong desire for control and does not want his rights to be taken away, especially the people below need to rely on these gentry to help collect taxes.
Zhu Yuanzhang once had the idea to extend the court's yamen downwards, but he suffered from the previous national finances that did not allow him to do so, and he did not find out a mature mechanism.
But now it’s different. Now Li Xiao has built a different country. New crop seeds, chemical fertilizers, and new farming methods have made meat eating a shame for tens of millions of people, so that the people no longer have to worry about eating and drinking. , more people are engaged in other things, creating economic prosperity.
With these supports, the imperial court can develop the dormitories and thoroughly control the entire country.
"Huh? According to the memorandum, Li Xiao led troops that did not belong to the imperial court, and the weapons he used were not flintlocks, but a more powerful weapon, several times more powerful than flintlocks??"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, realizing this, and said, "Li Xiao didn't tell us about such a powerful weapon, is it a secret??"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi on the side immediately helped Li Xiao to defend: "Grandfather, it must be my brother-in-law who deliberately didn't disclose the news for this reform. Think about it, even the flintlock was taken away, so it can be seen There are still some people with ulterior motives in the Ming Dynasty. My brother-in-law must have concealed the news because he wanted to find out such people. This is his hole card. I think since my brother-in-law has shown his hole card at this moment, he will definitely notify you as soon as possible."
Zhu Gaochi is always helping Li Xiao to speak. In his opinion, Li Xiao is a lucky star. No matter what he does, it is for the country and the people, without selfishness.
Thousand pointing fingers, head bowed as a willing ox.
A brother-in-law who can say such things should not doubt him.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
At this time, a eunuch came to report that it was Li Xiao who sent someone to deliver the letter.
"Come in quickly."
Soon, the person who came to deliver the letter handed over a letter written by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The above first praised Zhu Yuanzhang for a while.
It mainly writes that Zhu Yuanzhang is wise and martial, dared to delegate power, and let him show his skills. Now that things are almost done, he can come back to work in half a year at most.
Then I started to write that I had prepared a magic weapon for Daming, the automatic rifle produced by the arsenal. This was not to deliberately conceal the Supreme Emperor, but to prevent the news from being revealed. Right now there are people making troubles everywhere in the country. Using this thing can quickly put down the rebellion , Let Zhu Yuanzhang not have to worry, he will personally go to suppress the rebellion and give the court peace.
After reading the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang understood the whole story, so he was not dissatisfied with Li Xiao, but he blamed him for not disclosing the news to him earlier.
"So that's the case. Li Xiao didn't hide it on purpose. Gao Chi, you are right. There are sudden rebellions everywhere. There are indeed people with ulterior motives in private in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang murmured and guessed: "Could it be that this person with ulterior motives is someone close to us, so it's not convenient for Li Xiao to disclose it, so as not to leak the news?"
"No matter who it is, I believe that the national teacher will soon find out the truth, and there is Gao Sui."
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
Zhu Gaochi was not in good health at first, but after Li Xiao's recuperation, his body has become stronger and stronger over the years, and the food is delicious.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looked at the soldier who came to deliver the message, and asked: "What is your name, and which military camp are you from?"
"Returning to the Holy Lord, the name of the bid is Jiang Kangming. My mother was a slave girl who was raised in Yangzhou. She was rescued by the National Teacher and has been living in Liushui Villa. We are descendants. We were incorporated into the army by the National Teacher. At present, there is no legal relationship army."
Jiang Kangming cupped his hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "Very good, raising private soldiers."
Jiang Kangming's face changed slightly.
Zhu Gaochi joked: "It's all for the court, hahaha."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "By the way, what about the automatic rifle? Show us what is more powerful than the flintlock."
Jiang Kangming didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took off the backpack on his back, then put it on the ground, unfolded it, and inside was a Type 81 automatic rifle.
"Please see, Your Majesty, this gun is made of special metal and can withstand severe conditions such as severe cold, scorching heat, wind and sand, swimming in rivers, and immersion in sea water, with very few malfunctions."
"The most important thing is that its operation is very simple, and there is no need for reloading steps. There are magazines here, and it can be used when it hits a bullet."
Jiang Kangming began to introduce the structure, technology and usage of the automatic rifle.
"Show us!"
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was extremely excited, got started.
The cold and thick touch has an indescribable taste. It is hard to imagine how such steel is made, it is so exquisite and magical.
Heavy, very heavy, Zhu Yuanzhang held it in his hand, then aimed at the open space and took a shuttle.
Da da da, da da da, da da da——
The sound is crisp and loud.
The bullets were fired continuously, and the target prepared in the distance was smashed in an instant.
"God, this power is too powerful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang watched this scene in disbelief.
It's no wonder that the Xu family who was holding a flintlock gun could be easily wiped out. It's not a level weapon at all.
"I am afraid that this thing of the emperor's grandfather can completely change the pattern of the war."
Zhu Gaochi stared blankly at the side, before speaking for a while.
"Okay! Good thing! Gao Chi, you are right. I am afraid that the pattern of wars will change in the future. If both sides hold this item, the dense formation will not be effective, but will become a target." .”
Zhu Yuanzhang is a genius in war, a man with strong military ability, and he can quickly analyze that this thing will definitely change the pattern of war in the future.
"It's a divine thing, it's a divine thing. How did Li Xiao come up with this thing? The technology of this thing must not be known to outsiders, and it must not be spread. Whoever owns this thing can control the world."
This idea immediately appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
Since this object first appeared in Ming Dynasty, other countries should be stopped, and the technology of this object should be classified as the highest level of secrecy, so that it can always be proud of the world.
"Grandpa Huang, what if this thing was born in another country? My brother-in-law said that technology is constantly improving, and these things will be developed and produced by future generations in the future."
Zhu Gaochi suddenly raised this question.
"No way!"
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the world map on the wall, and said: "Then let the flag of the Ming Dynasty be planted all over the world. Anyone who dares to develop this thing will be dealt with."
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang ignited the idea of blocking the weapons of war after unifying the world, so as to consolidate the absolute dominance of the Ming Dynasty.
He would never have thought that this idea would be the same as the blockade of atomic bomb manufacturing by a big country in the future. If it is realized, it will indeed allow the Ming Dynasty to be under absolute rule.
But success or failure is another matter.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi said: "Grandfather, since the national teacher said that he will handle the rebellion in various places, does the imperial court still need to send troops to vindicate the rebellion?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Since the national teacher has spoken, then we don't have to do anything extra. Let Li Xiao do it, and you will be happy. Gao Chi, you don't have time to deal with this matter."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and let Jiang Kangming, who came to report the letter, back down.
"Go back and tell the national teacher that no matter what he does in front, I will fully support him, don't worry too much."
"Yes!"
After Jiang Kangming cupped his hands, he retreated.
Zhu Yuanzhang's words are true. Although the country is peaceful, Zhu Gaochi is very busy. Not only Zhu Gaochi is busy, but the entire military aircraft department and the entire court are also busy.
It's all because of Li Xiao's national policy of developing the state, and they are all busy with this matter.
Zhu Gaochi smiled wryly and said: "That's right, Grandfather, I have been busy with the construction of the state during this time, and I have been so busy that I have built it according to my brother-in-law's method. For several political envoys, respectively, the chief envoys of Liaoning, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, and Heilongjiang. Confucian scholars have been sent there to teach Chinese and Sinicization. In addition, craftsmen were also dispatched there to teach house building, build cities, and carry out urbanization. Fortunately, there are trains to transport materials, otherwise the cost will be very high. By the way, Grandfather, since we started building Jianzhou, The North Korean state seems to be ready to move, privately wanting to obstruct, obstruct."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "It's normal for North Korea to be unable to sit still. The reason for this is probably because we are worried that Ming Dynasty will be too powerful and annex them."
Korea was the former Goryeo. Goryeo originally belonged to the Yuan Dynasty. Soon after the Yuan Dynasty was established, a large army was sent to conquer Goryeo. Goryeo was defeated and surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty.After that, the Yuan Dynasty included Goryeo as its own territory and classified it as the province of conquering the east.
Zhu Yuanzhang understood very well how important Goryeo, located in the northeast, was to stabilizing the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty.So at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, they sent envoys to Goryeo and made further demands, hoping that Goryeo could become a vassal of Ming Dynasty.
At first, Goryeo refused, but the Ming Dynasty's national power became stronger and stronger, and finally compromised.
The name of the country of North Korea was bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In addition to naming the new dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered: "North Korea is a country that will never be conquered", and clearly stipulated that the Yalu River was the boundary between Daming and North Korea.
Korea also respected the Ming Dynasty as the Celestial Dynasty, and from then on it became a vassal state.
Over the years, North Korea has been paying tribute to concubines. Now there are more than 20 concubines in Zhu Di's harem from North Korea, and the most favored one is Concubine Quan.
"Grandfather, how do you think this relationship should be handled?"
Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice, "I don't know if my grandson should say something or not."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Say."
Zhu Gaochi said: "My brother-in-law once said that North Korea has always been on the frontier of our Ming Dynasty. Since then, whether it is future development or being controlled by a big country, it has always been a hidden danger. If the imperial court is included in our territory, then our Ming Dynasty will Only Oara in the north and Muscovite in the north”
"Needless to say."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's gone." (End of this chapter)
