My Daming New Empire

Now Daming has several projects that cost a lot of money, one of which is to build the Wudang Taoist Palace, the Golden Roof.Over the past few years, more than 300 million taels of silver have been spent.

In the era of naturalization, there was no cost of building the Great Wall, no cost of building New Peking, Zheng He never lost money in his voyages, and Ming’s finances were still very healthy, so he didn’t care about these costs.

But the construction of Wudang Mountain is very important to Wudang, and they don't want to stop the project now.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "In this case, Taoist Xuanzhen will spend more time in front of them in the future. As for your junior, let him come over and let me try his skills."

Zhu Zhanji was also a little disappointed with Xuanzhen. Last year in the grassland, he vomited upside down when he saw a murder, which really didn't fit his position as a master.

A master who dare not kill, no matter how good his skills are, what's the use!

The two little guys were very happy, Xuanzhen's name was well-known all over the world, and everyone in the world didn't know that Zhu Zhanji had two great masters by his side.Being able to be taught by a famous teacher, not to mention becoming a great master, as long as they can be better than others, is enough for them to be happy.

As soon as the time came, the garrisoned army slowly moved out and went upstream.

Thirty or so ships with captives held in the middle also ate a full meal for those captives who had been starving for four or five days today.

For the convenience of management, these people were concentrated in the dark cabin.There is no food supply, only a sink with a constant supply of cold water every day.

After starving for a few days, everyone has no strength to resist.If we don't give them something to eat now, they don't have the energy to endure today's fatigue.

Although it was only a short distance of twenty miles, the fleet did not arrive at Yuejianglou Wharf until Sishi.

Zhu Zhanji's boat was too big to dock, and more than a dozen flat-bottomed sand boats were strung together to form a pontoon bridge.

Zhu Zhanji got off the boat first and walked towards the welcoming crowd.

As soon as he landed, all the civil and military ministers who greeted him bowed down to greet Zhu Zhanji, and behind Zhu Zhanji put out a formal emperor's guard of honor.

Zhu Di sent his emperor's guard of honor to meet Zhu Zhanji, which also confirmed Zhu Zhanji's orthodox identity.Although Zhu Zhanji felt that it was a little too much, of course he would not say it at this time.

Fortunately, Zhu Di thought of this and didn't let Zhu Gaochi come to greet him.A father welcomes his son, and the emperor's guard of honor is placed behind the son, so the father has to salute his son, which is not in line with human ethics.

Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, personally read the class teacher's essay, in which he criticized the invasion of Daming by the Japanese pirates, and criticized the Japanese pirates verbally, demonstrating the justice of the Ming Dynasty, and then praised the achievements of the navy.

After reading the scriptures, all the civil and military ministers got up and saluted again. This time, they just bowed their hands and bowed flatly.

Then came the show of the captives. All the captives were expelled from the ship, and everyone was told that only obedient ones could survive. Otherwise, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would definitely not mind a few more souls under the knife.

In order to survive, these captives had to disembark one by one, in groups of five, in a square formation of fifty, and were tied up with ropes.

They will be waiting in the capital for the appreciation of the people of Ming Dynasty, maybe there will be attacks from rotten eggs and feces.

The crowds of the Ming Dynasty who were onlookers were all excited. Many of them came here specially from the coastal areas. They all had their relatives killed by the Japanese pirates, so they came here to "revenge" now.

Zhu Zhanji had no chance to appreciate this scene. He was arranged on a royal chariot pulled by eight white horses, surrounded by ministers, and returned to the palace first.

He is now announcing the good news to Zhu Di outside the Chengtian Gate, and then instead of entering the palace, he will go directly to worship at the Tiandi Altar, then at the Taimiao, and at the Sheji Altar, and he will not be able to return to the palace until evening.

Sitting on the imperial chariot that is ventilated on all sides is actually not pleasant.It is now the end of the year, and the cold wind of December makes people feel chills all over their bodies.

Zhu Zhanji kept waving to the onlookers along the way, so that he could move his body and maintain his body temperature.

On the imperial chariot, apart from Zhu Zhanji, there were also Wang Yan, Lu Zhen, Fang Bin, and Mu Sheng, Duke of Qian.

Mu Sheng is the youngest son of Mu Ying, 47 years old this year, he has been loved by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, and he gets along well with Zhu Di.

In the original history, he would accompany the British Duke Zhang Fu to fight in Jiaozhi, but in this life, he did not go there.

Sitting on the imperial chariot, they enjoyed this rare honor, but they didn't feel comfortable at all.Because they could only sit under the steps around the imperial chariot, they couldn't move except to talk with Zhu Zhanji.

Wang Yan, Lu Zhen, and Zhu Zhanji are also old acquaintances. They accompanied Zhu Zhanji to talk about what happened in the capital recently, and they didn't feel bored.

Zhu Zhanji was most concerned about the cochin epidemic, and talked with Mu Sheng about some cochin affairs in detail.I heard that the epidemic over there has basically been brought under control, and the few people he cares about are all fine.Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and felt relieved.

In this age without vaccines and antibiotics, the plague is the most feared incurable disease.

"Now that the epidemic has been brought under control and the situation in Cochin is under control, when will Huang Fu come back?"

"It's rare for Huang Fu to be a political envoy, and the British Duke stayed for another half a year to help him appease Jiao Zhi." Mu Sheng asked curiously: "His Highness seems to have a different opinion of this Huang Fu?"

Zhu Zhanji was taken aback. He was so concerned about the whereabouts of the civil servants that it was a bit out of bounds.

So when Mu Sheng asked this question, he smiled and said, "I'm just familiar with Huang Fu's eldest son, Huang Yuan. He is a young garrison in our navy, and he is outstanding in military affairs management. Huang Fucai paid more attention."

Mu Sheng nodded, and said in relief, "Huang Qianjiu is also Father Xiao, and both of them are quite talented people."

Zhu Zhanji thought about it for a while, and he will attack Japan in the first half of next year with high spirits, and prepare to go to sea in the second half of the year.No matter how talented Huang Fu was, he had served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and was also a political envoy. He was not someone he could use now, so he was still a little impatient.

Following the emperor's chariot were Yi Xin, Zhu Zhen, and the cars of a group of naval generals who had made great contributions.

The few of them on the chariot had a much warmer atmosphere than Zhu Zhanji and the others.

Along the way, they enjoyed the cheers of the people, especially when Zhu Zhen saw his long-lost old wife standing by the side of the road with her granddaughter in her arms.

Hearing the immature voice of his granddaughter calling for his grandfather, and seeing the affectionate eyes of his old wife and children, he, a tough guy, couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.

The convoy drove past the location of the family members, and Zhu Zhen couldn't help but put down his arms, and looked back and said: "With today's glory, I have no regrets even though I die!"

Yi Xin nodded and said: "His Royal Highness pays tribute to the enterprising, our navy... No, the navy will have no less chance of making meritorious service than the frontier army in the future."

Although Huang Yuan's position is not high, but this time he is the coordinator of the Navy Headquarters and the assistant of the Navy Commander Liu Jiang. He is highly valued by the grandson, so he also has the honor to sit on the second chariot.

He smiled and said: "His Royal Highness puts the globe in the bedroom and study, and keeps the whole world in his heart at all times. Solving the hidden dangers of Dongpu, we will definitely have the opportunity to make contributions in the future!"

Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "Huang Shoubei is young and promising, and he has made great contributions this time. If you want to be transferred to the army, you will be the commander of my Third Fleet."

Yi Xinbuyi said: "What is a commander? Element Huang Shoubei is willing to come to my Second Fleet. I dare not promise to be a general. A guerrilla is absolutely indispensable!"

The other generals couldn't help showing envious looks on their faces as they watched the commanders of the two major fleets vying for the celebrity of the navy.

(Sorry everyone, at least two updates a day from tomorrow.)

Thank you for the super cowardly hair ball, the lights see others, the dragon soul cherishes the beauty, the bamboo stick, I spit you, idiot 009, a reward for different enjoyment, thank you for your support

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Outside Chengtian Gate, Zhu Zhanji stepped down from the imperial chariot, looked at Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi on the tower, knelt down and kowtowed three heads each.

The band under the city wall played a burst of majestic drum music. Looking at Zhu Zhanji who was a head taller than ordinary people under the city wall not far away, neither Zhu Di nor Zhu Gaochi could ask for more.

Concubine Zhaoyi and Crown Princess Zhang, who were allowed to watch the ceremony on one side, were even more excited when they saw the heroic Zhu Zhanji.

Concubine Zhaoyi knew very well that the grandson's power was getting stronger and stronger, not only in charge of half of the internal prisons, but now also in charge of the world's navy.

Moreover, his influence in the army is also growing, not only forming an alliance with the British Duke Zhang Fu.He is also closely related to Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, and Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan.

A Beimingshan copper mine not only tore apart the grassland forces, but also made countless frontier soldiers become Taisun's supporters.
