First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Moreover, Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin, is not an ordinary person, not Zhu Biao's choice in desperation. His xinxing ability is first-class, even Lao Zhu once praised Wu Liang, Liangren forgives frugality, and Wu Qi today !

Different from some generals who are unscrupulous and greedy for pleasure after becoming a lord, Wu Liang advocates frugality and doesn't pay much attention to wine, sex and wealth. He has guarded Jiangyin for ten years. He is a commander-in-chief but often sleeps on top of the city tower, sleeping with swords and spears on his pillow... …

It is precisely because of this kind of character that Zhu Biao entrusted such a major event to Wu Liang. You must know that this trip abroad will definitely leave a strong mark in the history, and it will not only affect the progress of Chinese history. but the whole world.

Wu Liang is also aware of this point. He had a secret conversation with Zhu Biao when he was inspecting the coastal areas. The generals of his family encircle the land to make money, and his brothers are majestic in Nanyang. Instead of being impetuous, they continue to study silently.

This is commendable, no matter whether the trip is successful or not, Zhu Biao will mention Wu Liang's title, and if it succeeds, the name of Hai Guogong will be left in history, and if he dies accidentally at sea, he will be named a Yuanyang Duke.

No matter how big a ship is, it is nothing more than rootless duckweed on the sea. A sudden storm and huge waves are enough to bury them. The power of the ocean is by no means human power, and Zhu Biao is actually ready to face setbacks.

Although the future is uncertain, it is still necessary to take this step. Zhu Biao has waited for five years, and it is impossible to wait another five years. What's more, everything that should be prepared is actually well prepared, and the rest is God's will.

In the past few years, the imperial court has not stopped letting shipyards around the world build ships. In addition to the Japanese pirates and other remnants such as Foreign Fang Guozhen, they have also been hovering in the coastal areas. In addition, Zhu Biao's vigorous interference in the development of Daming's shipbuilding industry can be described as booming, with continuous breakthroughs.

Zhu Biao plans to start the project this year, also because a ship has been built in the true sense of the times. According to reports, it is about 44 feet long and 18 feet wide. It is a huge ship that can hold 4,000 materials.

In conversion, it is a monster with a length of more than 140 meters, a width of more than 40 meters, and a displacement of nearly 3,000 tons. You must know that Columbus, who discovered the New World, had a maximum displacement of 100 tons. The Magellan fleet that sailed around the world has a total of only Among the 5 ships, the displacement of the flagship is only 110 tons, and the other 4 ships are less than 100 tons.

No need to say anything else, just from the disparity in displacement, we can know how brilliant the shipbuilding technology of Ming Dynasty is. The craftsmen only used spade nails, iron curium, spade nails, leech nails, etc. on the wooden ships. Tools built such a marvelous ocean-going ship.

This is naturally thanks to the foundation laid by Song and Yuan. The current Daming is at least one or two hundred years ahead of the world in shipbuilding. Only with such a cornerstone can Zhu Biao have the confidence to start an era in his lifetime, instead of lamenting that the era has limited us. .

If they didn't pay attention to Shanghai trade and push craftsmen to study shipbuilding skills, Zhu Biao just trained craftsmen from scratch. I don't know when he will see such a huge ship. The difficulty of working hard from scratch and continuing the past is very different...

Zhu Biao thought about writing a letter with a pen and handing it to Liu Jin with a blank warrant of his own, so that he could send someone to deliver it to Wu Liang. In today's era when sailing depends on monsoons, he will definitely not be in a hurry when he gives orders in Nanjing. It's up to them to master it themselves.

Zhu Biao's request is to sail this year, he doesn't care whether it is next month or the end of this year, but he will have to wait until the second half of the year, after all, although the ship is built, there are many things that need to be added inside, and food, artillery and other things are also loaded. It takes a lot of time.

Zhu Biao gave a blank warrant stamped with the prince's treasure seal, which allowed Wu Liang to fill in the necessary supplies, and he could directly request the supply from the coastal state government. supply.

This is to express trust in Wu Liang and attach importance to ocean affairs. The symbolic meaning of the warrant is greater than its actual meaning. Zhu Biao's statement can save Wu Liang and others from being distracted by other trivial matters.

The local affairs are very complicated. Without Zhu Biao, the powerful prince, the position, the local officials can delay you for two or three years in raising food and supplies for the large fleet, and it will make you lose your temper.

Zhu Biao took a sip from his teacup, thinking that he should go and have a look in summer, the left and right capitals are in the south, so going back and forth is not too much trouble, and last year Zhu Biao promised his princess to take her out for a walk.

This time it’s not the Northern Expedition or relocating people for disaster relief, so you can take Chang Luohua with you, and you can also bring a few princesses. Most of them are caged birds, and it is rare to see the outside world.

Old Zhu always only takes his sons with him when he travels. Except Zhu Biao, no one in this world can take them out. Zhu Biao has always taken care of these harmless younger brothers and sisters. I can be a little grateful, and I should know what to do in the future.

The children will not be brought, and Lao Zhu and Queen Ma will not be allowed to let them. As for other women, they will not bring them. This is the honor Zhu Biao bestows on his first wife. It would be meaningless if they all bring them. Presumably Chang Luohua would be happy too.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but twitched his lips. Two days ago, Lao Zhu had set a few orders for him. Of course, the second, third, and fourth children also have a share. leaf.

But if they want to welcome them into the house, they have to wait. After all, the big wedding has not yet been held. The second child will be next month, the third child will be in summer, and the fourth child will be in the second half of the year. .

As for Zhu Biao, who was married at an early age, he didn't have to wait, and he would be connected to the East Palace in a few days. This time, his family background was mediocre, so Zhu Biao didn't need to show up. He just went to the room at night if he was in the mood.

It can be predicted that as there are more and more women in the Eastern Palace, Zhu Biao, a high-quality and precious stallion, will become more numb, and he may not be able to remember the name of the woman next to him when he wakes up.

What is the princess doing at this hour?

Liu Jin dexterously served tea and said with a smile: The two young highnesses should be awake at this hour.

Zhu Biao suddenly felt that his mother-in-law was wanted to leave by others. Although he was his own son, it didn't hinder Zhu Biao's urge to spank their butts. Unfortunately, he was still too young, so it would be better if he was older.

They had to try the old Zhu family’s ancestral method of beating up their sons. As the saying goes, they have never eaten pork and seen pigs run away. Zhu Biao has never beaten anyone with his own hands, but he has really watched how his father beat other princes. That was years of bystander experience.

Zhu Biao feels that the reason for the appearance of bear children is basically that they were beaten less when they were young. They only need to be beaten once every three days and once every five days. Whip, hopeless round stick, the prince who came out, among other things, must have great psychological quality and resistance to setbacks!

Zhu Biao is no longer worried about being depressed. This son of a dragon and phoenix will be held by people everywhere he goes. If no one pushes him down, he will really be intimidated. Ordinary people will be ignorant. Sooner or later, someone will take care of him. , But these heavenly nobles are different, their power makes them do evil and will not be punished.

It is just an ideal slogan that the prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. Legalists have advocated since ancient times that the law is not noble, the rope is not bent, and the law is imposed. The idea of ​​leaving no stone unturned.

But after all, it is just a concept. Under the feudal hierarchical social system, people are not equal. For example, what if Zhu Biao killed a few people for no reason?

Even the most stern and upright censors would at most ask the emperor to blame the prince for a few words, as a formal punishment. Who would dare to ask Zhu Biao to pay for his life?

Zhu Biao is like this, and so are the rest of the princes, not just the royal family. In the capital, some noble sons or nephews of ministers will rarely be punished if they make small mistakes. This is because Lao Zhu is special. There are no rich and powerful, and robbing civilian girls is nothing but pediatrics...

This is even more so when it comes to places. It is natural for officials and officials to defend each other, let alone in the countryside. People don’t raise officials and don’t punish them. Many crimes have been eroded in history. It exudes a stench, which is what the so-called cannibalism is.

……………

The writing is very reluctant, and it must be difficult for everyone to continue reading. I also read novels every day, and I can understand it, and I dare not ask you to spend money to support me. I just hope that everyone will not scold me or urge me to write slowly. finish it.

It’s not easy to write emperor essays, because there’s only so much that can be written, and it’s the same thing over and over again, not to mention that the protagonists of the dynasties I picked are not stable, and they must have no passion. Sufficiently, the time pressure in the early stage is too hard, this is caused by the lack of experience in writing novels_(`」∠)_

Sometimes I look back and knock my head. It shouldn’t be like this here. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret. People say that a million will become a god, but I wrote a million but I feel that I have too many shortcomings. The story is not well told. There are problems with no follow-up at the beginning, no ups and downs and no climaxes, and so on.

When I started writing this book, I didn’t expect to be able to sign a contract and put it on the shelves. I only wanted to entertain myself, and I was always panicked, feeling that I couldn’t make it...
