Chapter 163 Follow me to kill people!
Zhu Di sat back down.
His eyes were a little dazed, and his expression changed again and again.
In the end, there was complete silence.
Zhu Yuanzhang's military talents far exceeded anyone else in the world.
Although later generations said that giving up taking the Mongolian Plateau as their own could be regarded as a miscalculation of the future changes in the world, in order to strengthen the border defense of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang took many measures and set up a large number of military posts along the Great Wall to build a A very complete set of strong fortresses was built to defend against the Mongols moving south.
It is known as the ‘nine-sided town’ in later generations.
Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still thought it was not enough. As a well-read man who was familiar with the governance experience of previous dynasties, after careful consideration, he implemented a governance system that combined the county system and the feudal system. Local officials were in charge of civil affairs. Thirteen vassal kings were stationed in various military important places in the north.
This then led to a situation where the King of Sai was guarding the border.
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, the kings of the fortresses stood along the Great Wall line, connected from east to west, from inside to outside, forming layers of defense lines, which were enough to resist the successive offensives of the Mongols.
It is also enough to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will last forever.
But Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that these Sai kings had great power and could mobilize the army and appoint palace officials. To a certain extent, these Sai kings with military power themselves had become a powerful force that could threaten the central government. The dangerous power of the imperial court.
Therefore, it must be contained and restricted.
Military and political affairs must be separated.
This is the red line.
It's just that Zhu Di's political sensitivity was obviously not as good as that of other Sai kings. Therefore, Peking suffered the most serious damage due to the "Guo Huan case", and Zhu Di was also the one who was the most frightened. But in the final analysis, it was Zhu Di who understood the politics of the Ming Dynasty. Too low, there is only ambition but no ability to realize ambition.
Failure to follow the rules was very fatal in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, who valued rules the most.
In a certain sense, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang gave up on establishing Zhu Di in history may be because Zhu Di was unruly. The successor Zhu Yuanzhang wanted was an emperor who could continue his own line, not someone who liked to change his own system randomly. , Zhu Dishang is just a vassal king, so ready to act. If he really becomes the emperor, and his name is justified, wouldn't he do even more nonsense?
The Ming Dynasty’s system wanted a rule-abiding emperor.
Don’t be a self-righteous emperor.
Perhaps at first Zhu Di had the same possibilities as the kings of Jin and Qin, but the kings of Jin and Qin were better than Zhu Di. That is, when the court asked them to lead troops to fight, they only focused on leading troops to fight and would never Mixed with other things, even if he is arrogant and domineering in the fiefdom, even if he bullies the local Chief Secretary, it is just bullying, and he will never think of bringing the Chief Secretary under his command.
This is the biggest difference between King Yan and King Jin and King Qin.
Zhu Di never understood it before.
I have always felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was partial, but little did he know that it was Zhu Di's cleverness that caused all of this.
Zhu Yuanzhang could tolerate his sons bullying the people, even doing random things in the fish and meat village, but he would never tolerate them touching a political red line.
He can forgive.
But what about the emperors of later generations of the Ming Dynasty?
Do you really expect the Ming Emperor to miss his old love after several generations?
Xia Zhibai thanked Zhu Di sincerely.
If it weren't for Zhu Di's cleverness, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be so angry, which would in turn make Zhu Yuanzhang waver in his own system of guarding the border of the Fortress King, thus finally making the 'military reform' a reality.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was sure that the system he designed would be as solid as a rock, but now Zhu Yuanzhang may only hate iron for not becoming steel. That is to say, Zhu Di was not in Yingtian Mansion, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang's shoehorn would have flown into Zhu Di's face.
It is even possible
to kill Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was too obedient and didn't know how to restrain himself, let alone stay dormant.
He was arrogant and exposed his ambition too early. In history, Zhu Yuanzhang’s three sons died of illness one after another. In addition, Zhu Yunwen liked micro-management, which allowed Zhu Di to win by chance. Otherwise, there would be no one in the Ming Dynasty. A normal 'Crown Prince' would be able to pin Zhu Di down when he ascends the throne.
Zhu Di needs to understand one thing now.
Whether he wants to be a general or a vassal king now.
As for fighting for reserves, don’t even think about it.
He couldn't even do what Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to do, so how could he have the qualifications and ability to compete.
Zhu Di also understood.
He must first be a good border-guarding general and a border-guarding vassal king, so that he can think about fighting for the throne in the future, instead of thinking about becoming a fat man in one bite, doing nothing well, and fantasizing about being able to reach the sky in one step and become the master of Yingtian.
A long time.
Zhu Di raised his head, his face a little pale.
The forehead is covered with sweat.
As if he had just been fished out of the water, his eyes were full of fear and fear.
Zhu Di said: "What do you mean, I stretched my hand too far?"
Xia Zhibai nodded and said: "His Highness has the ability to lead troops, but His Highness overestimates his own talent. , Now the Ming Dynasty’s national power is at its peak, and it can allow large-scale conquests, but can this kind of national power really last for a long time?”
“I’m afraid”
“As the Northern Territory. A military center."
"If His Highness does not regard himself as a vassal king, he should only regard himself as a leading general."
"Then you need to develop some skills in military training."
"If His Highness considers himself a vassal king, he should plan strategies and tactics from the perspective of the royal family, consolidate Peiping's strategic position, and deduce offensive and defensive means. Achieve the greatest results at the smallest cost."
"In your position, you will get your own government!"
"You will get something if you give up, but the Ming Dynasty royal family has already done this. The aura of royalty shrouded him. "
"If you don't know how hard the people are, how can you keep your original intention?"
Xia Zhibai shook his head.
He looked at Zhu Di and said: "If your Highness really wants to achieve something, you should do your own thing first, and then prove yourself strategically and tactically. Only in this way can people look at you differently, otherwise the outside world The flattery of His Highness is the real 'sweet talk'."
"I have no intention of arguing with His Highness."
"It's okay for Your Highness to listen or not." "I'll say it all. Here it is.”
"From now on, I will only care about business in Peiping. As for other things, I don't want His Highness to cause trouble for me, nor do I want His Highness's soldiers to stop me. Likewise, I will not secretly target His Highness to embarrass His Highness."
< br>“I have a lot to do at the moment.”
“There are many vassal kings and many guards in the north, all of which need to be visited.”
“They all need to open up new trade routes. ”
“There is a long way to go”
Xia Zhibai bowed to Zhu Di and walked out of the lobby.
He didn't want to waste any time talking to Zhu Di.
Just to explain some things clearly to Zhu Di. As for what Zhu Di will do in the future, he can't decide, and he doesn't want to care too much. He doesn't want to get involved in these inexplicable disputes. He wants to borrow The matter of 'appealing' to the imperial court has been finished.
As for what His Majesty will do today, that is what the court needs to do.
He still has to do business now.
Make money.
A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
Without enough money and food support, it is wishful thinking to control the entire northern salt market or even promote the upgrading of the steel industry.
As for the subsequent opening up of trade routes, doing business with the Northern Yuan Dynasty, or winning over the Semu people and Mongols, developing them into the Ming Dynasty, or even buying off the officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, etc., this all requires a lot of money and food. .
This is not possible at the moment.
Tall buildings rise from the ground.
Precisely because there was so much to do, Xia Zhibai became more and more able to calm down and make choices for himself.
Things in Peiping can only be moved in and out quickly.
That’s it.
If you continue to get entangled blindly, you will only get yourself stuck in the quagmire and eventually fall into it completely.
This is not what Xia Zhibai wants to see.
He has been in Peiping for some time, and it is impossible for him to spend all his energy on it just for a temporary dispute.
What’s more, this is Zhu Di’s home court.
Zhu Di looked straight at Xia Zhibai's leaving figure.
I suddenly felt empty in my heart.
Everything Xia Zhibai did and said when he came to the house was completely unexpected.
He originally wanted to put some pressure on Xia Zhibai by surrounding Xia Zhibai, and then gain some say for himself, so that he could get back these books more smoothly. ', but Xia Zhibai was more straightforward and sent it over directly.
He also pointed out the problem for him.
As for the questions he still wanted to ask about the beggars and those lustful people, he also found the answer at this moment.
Is there anyone in the world who really wants to be a beggar?
I'm afraid not.
The reason why there are so many beggars is simply that the officials in Peiping neglected their duties and did not take solving these beggars seriously. They allowed these beggars to wander on the streets and were unwilling to provide some land for resettlement. Even local officials even The military attachés under his command were the reason for all this.
They don’t want to give the fields in Peiping to these people at all, they would rather keep these fields as their own.
This is the problem.
As for the Semu people and the Mongols, what do they count?
They are just a small group that has been squeezed out. If they can't find a job or a way to survive, they naturally have to adapt to the wind.
Can you really blame these people?
What practical things has he, the King of Yan, really done for the local people?
Perhaps
The only real thing is to win over the officials of the Chief Secretary of Peking, which caused these officials to be blamed by the father. This makes the people of Peking a lot less burdened, but the father has no regard for himself. Is he really just a border guarding vassal?
What my father wanted was for the feudal prince and the chief minister to supervise each other.
Severely punish lawbreakers.
He didn't do it at all.
Zhu Di took a deep breath and regained his energy.
He looked at the book Xia Zhibai sent and simply turned through a few pages, with a hint of cruelty and killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He has changed his mind.
Originally, he wanted to treat people with dignity and kill as few people as possible.
But now.
As a landowner general and a vassal king who stabilizes the hearts and minds of the local people, what he really wants to do is to kill more people so that the officials in Peiping will be afraid and those who kill will not dare to commit crimes. Only in this way can he be saved. The image of oneself in the heart of the father.
He said outside the palace: "Come here, call Yao Guangxiao to me."
"In addition, call Zhang Yu and Zhu Liang."
"Tell them to sharpen the sword for me."
"Follow me to kill people!"
Adjust the rhythm and continue the third update tomorrow.
Three updates intermittently.
