First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chang Yuchun nodded and said: That should be the case, it's best to dismiss him and exile him to the border, so that he can have a good memory.

Zhu Biao nodded and didn't say anything. There is no need to discuss the specific handling method with Chang Yuchun. This is the right of the king and no one else needs to intervene.

Zhu Biao still feels sorry for Lan Yu's talent. This person is good at fighting in harsh conditions. This is a rare skill. Zhu Biao will need him in the future. After all, the places outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty are places with harsh natural conditions. , Such a general is needed to lead the army to overcome difficulties.

After that, Zhu Biao talked with Chang Yuchun about the arrangements for him. Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Chang Yuchun's attitude all the time, so he planned to let Chang Yuchun go to the north to guard.

The Mongolian ministries will be a threat sooner or later, and the long term will be more than ten years, the shortest will be four to five years. Mongolia will still raise troops. Now both sides are in the stage of recuperation, especially Ming Dynasty. There is a lot of waste in the country. How can I go to the grassland to circle around with them? , what can you do if people don't fight you.

So now we can only draw in one wave to suppress another, divide them, and make Mongolia unable to work together. This way their threat will be much smaller, and when Ming is ready, he will completely take over the grassland.

Chang Yuchun is famous all over the world, and all the Mongolian ministries are aware of his ability. If he goes to the north to guard, Mongolia will be much more stable, and Quan Xu and the others will be able to divide the work more smoothly. Among the generals who have this prestige, he is the only one who has this prestige except Xu Da. up,

Xu Da is now in charge of military affairs across the country, and it is impossible to leave the capital, so he needs to go out of the mountain again. Chang Yuchun is naturally happy, and he is not happy every day in the mansion, but it is a last resort to reassure Zhu Yuanzhang Of.

The general died in a hundred battles, and Chang Yuchun didn't want to leave the army for a day. Now that the marriage is settled, Zhu Yuanzhang has trusted him again, and he can finally regain power in the army.

Zhu Biao congratulated him with a smile. In fact, another reason why Chang Yuchun was able to regain military power was Chang Mao. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Chang Mao's talent was average, and the Chang family was doomed to rely on Zhu Biao's favor in the future, and the military power would be easy to obtain in the future. .

Unlike Xu Yungong, Xu Da's son, he is a marshal. Such a person must be suppressed first, and then let Zhu Biao give him a high position. Otherwise, it will not be good for him to take over Xu Da's position after the military power. Received.

To do things for the emperor must be far-sighted, and everything in front of you needs to serve the future, otherwise you will have no place to regret it when the time comes.

However, Zhu Biao’s purpose in talking about this matter is to hope that Chang Yuchun can preside over the recovery work in the north. The north is a place where dragon veins gather. Since ancient times, there have been many important military towns in the north, and their resources are also very rich. Whether it is from a strategic or practical perspective , the development of the north is necessary.

The most important thing is transportation, sorting out the canals, building official roads, and preparing for the future. All these require the mobilization of large-scale labor. It is enough for Chang Yuchun to do this well in the past few years.

Chang Yuchun nodded after hearing this. He naturally understood the significance of water transportation. As long as he sorted it out, he could quickly arrive in the future whether it was food or soldiers. The connection between the north and the south would be of great benefit to the country.

It's just that talking is not enough. Chang Yuchun looked at Zhu Biao and said, I'm afraid the consumption will not exceed two wars. Can the imperial court come up with such resources now?

Zhu Biao shook his head: Of course we can't get it out, so we can only plan after taking the land of Bashu, but the measurement and planning of the canal and waterway should start now, so as to save time when the time comes, and the army will have to spend time in their spare time. Some materials can be delivered.

Chang Yuchun nodded and knew what he knew, and Zhu Biao began to talk with him in detail about the river channel that needs to be sorted out.

The most critical of these is naturally the Grand Canal. This canal was excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period, completed in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was straightened out in the Yuan Dynasty.

From Yuhang in the south to Shuntianfu in the north, it passes through the four provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei today, and runs through the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River.

By the time Zhu Biao noticed it, it was already a bit deserted. Natural and man-made disasters continued at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and his court had no spare power to manage it, which led to the current blockage of the river.

The canal was born for the real purpose of water transportation, which was the life support and power supply system of the feudal dynasty, maintaining the life of the dynasty.

This canal has gone through thousands of years, and it was built in the Spring and Autumn Period to achieve military purposes. For example, the direct purpose of Wu Wang Fu sent someone to dig Hangou was to transport troops to the north to attack Qi.

By Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang’s motive was to connect the north and the south, and his motivation had gone beyond serving the purpose of military operations, because at this time the world was unified, and the canal was also beneficial to economic and political purposes.

From the perspective of the Grand Canal alone, Zhu Biao admired and thanked Yang Guang. The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Yang Guang ruined his own Sui Dynasty, but benefited all dynasties of later generations.

In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to connect the north and the south, there was no need to detour through Luoyang, and it was necessary to dig canals to transport grain from the south to the north. For this reason, three sections of river channels were excavated successively, and the original horizontal canal of the Sui Dynasty centered on Luoyang was built into a vertical grand canal centered on Dadu and heading south to Hangzhou.

But now, Zhu Biao thinks more about it. He wants to make full use of the canal water transportation and build a huge and complex water transportation system based on the canal, so as to continuously transport material resources from all over the country to the location of the capital.

At present, it must be mainly for military purposes, transporting military supplies to suppress the world and sweep up disobedient officials, and the orders of the imperial court can also be conveyed quickly.

After the country's economy recovered to a certain level, grain, silk, tea, sugar, bamboo, wood, lacquer, ceramics, etc. from the south were continuously transported to the north, and pine wood, leather goods, coal, miscellaneous goods, etc. from the north also continued to go south through the canal. When there is a need for commercial transportation, the Grand Canal will also keep pace with the times to make it a river of commercial transportation and a river of civil transportation.

It was because of the ambitious goal that Zhu Biao asked Chang Yuchun to spend two or three years planning and preparing. Of course, he would send someone from the Ministry of Industry to assist him. Chang Yuchun mainly wanted to use his prestige to handle some things.

Although some parts of the canal are blocked, there are still many sections that are not affected. Such great benefits naturally attract many aristocratic families. Sorting out the canal is a good thing for the country, and it is actually not bad for them, but there are always short-sighted people.

Chang Yuchun's role was revealed. In the early years, Chang Yuchun's reputation as a bloodthirsty man was not blown out. Now Chang Yuchun doesn't need to give anyone face. He cares more about the interests of the Zhu family than anyone else. After all, it is very likely that in the future It's all his grandson's family business.

It's a matter of profit, and sophistication is not so easy to use. Fighting and killing is not a good way. Killing is a means, and Zhu Biao will not be soft when needed.

Zhu Biao spent two hours carefully explaining the matter to Chang Yuchun, to ensure that Chang Yuchun could deal with it in time, and there would be no chaos in the Mongolian Ministry in recent years, so Chang Yuchun had plenty of time.
