My Daming New Empire

Therefore, the location for the construction of the navy was determined in Anping, and the army began to return on the ninth day of August.

The summer of the 14th year of Yongle has passed, and under the push of the south wind, the return speed of the fleet is much faster. It only took two days for the fleet to arrive in Ningbo.

The army of the Second Fleet separated again, leaving only the army of the First Fleet and the [-] Shenji Battalion, and returned to the capital.

On the night of August [-]th, the fleet finally arrived at the base of the First Fleet in Xinjiangkou, and the imperial court had already been notified and prepared a grand welcome ceremony at Yuejianglou Wharf.

This time, the people who came to Xinjiangkou to greet him included Liu Jiang, the captain of the navy, Lu Zhen, Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the chief officials of the Hanlin Academy and Zhanshifu.

And Zhu Zhanji also got the news on this day that his concubine, Sun Xian, gave birth to his eldest son. In addition, he had three more children at once, and four more were about to give birth.

The royal family got the eldest son of the fourth generation, who was born to the grandson concubine. There was no dispute over status, and the whole Ming Dynasty cheered endlessly.

However, Zhu Di named the child Zhu Qizhen according to the genealogy established by Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Zhu Zhanji feel a little uncomfortable.

Could it be possible to raise another prodigal emperor who led to the civil war.

He has already decided to pay attention to the eunuch, if he meets a eunuch named Wang Zhen, he will kill him first, regardless of whether he has committed any crime.

He tried his best to transform Daming, but he didn't want to go through another civil fort change.

Although Mobei is almost under the control of Ming Dynasty now, and the Tatar warriors have almost become the miners of Ming Dynasty to develop Beiming Mountain, but who knows how powerful the error correction ability of history is!

But give yourself another ten years to turn Mobei into the mainland, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Although the Mongols are barbaric, after more than 80 years of rule, the Mongols are almost assimilated by the Han people today.

There is no cultural barrier, as long as they are subdued, assimilation is only a matter of time.

The most powerful thing about the Chinese nation is never force, but culture.Whether it is the current Mongol Yuan or the future Manchu Qing, their rule certainly broke the backbone of the Han people.But in terms of culture, they were all assimilated by the Han people in the end.

To give a simple example, the Jurchens did not originally have written characters. They created Manchu to distinguish them from the Han people. However, when the Qing Dynasty fell, the vast majority of Manchus could only speak a few sentences of Manchu, and could not even write.

From Cangjie's creation of characters, to Heluo books, to the various schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period.When Huaxia culture matured, it began to expand all the time without stopping.

Regardless of the change of dynasties or the invasion of foreign races, China has not only not shrunk, but has been expanding.

This is because Chinese culture has never been a nation distinguished by blood.

During the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Huaxia was only a small tribe in the Central Plains.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China was only the territory of the original Zhou Dynasty.But time after time of expansion and division, Huaxia has become a super country that integrates multiple ethnic groups and different bloodlines.

The main reason for this is China's cultural influence.

From this point of view, it also indirectly explains why there are so many traitorous literati in history.Because they don't care who rules this country and this land at all, they only know that no matter who they are, they will be influenced by culture and eventually become their own people.

If it weren't for the development of science and technology, the escalation of wars, and finally the Western countries artificially replaced the nation with the country, and divided the boundaries with the land, China just fell into the lowest stage of history. The influence of Chinese culture is far more than what it shows. Small.

Just like Zhu Zhanji has seen with his own eyes which Koreans and Dongying people are wearing national costumes and devoutly worshiping in the Confucian mansion.

Not a country, not a nation, why do they have such devout beliefs?This is the power of culture.

Another example is those countries in Africa. Western countries have artificially drawn boundaries, dividing one tribe into two countries, and dividing different tribes into one country.

This has led to those tribes in Africa, because of different beliefs, fighting for years and causing massacres.

But although Zhu Zhanji understands this, he can't accept his own nation, and his country is at the mercy of foreigners.

Every time a dog is slaughtered by justice, it is mostly a scholar who bears his heart.

For several lifetimes, he has not been a scholar, but a dog-slayer who enjoys vengeance and hatred.So he just wants to slaughter others, and he doesn't want to be slaughtered by others.

Even if the final result is the same.

This time Zhu Zhanyong and the others still accompanied the ministers to greet them. The 12-year-old became more sensible. Seeing the fleet like a city on the sea, they were all envious and pestered Zhu Zhanji to play on the boat.

It has been half a year since he practiced with Xuanzhen. Under Xuanzhen's conditioning, they are all in good health, so Zhu Zhanji let them wander around, but let them keep an eye on them so they don't fall into the water.

I invited all the ministers into my meeting room, and everyone paid respects to them. Zhu Zhanji was not humble and accepted their gifts.

At this time, he was not the grandson, but a marshal who had returned in triumph, and he could bear their great gift.

However, when he heard that Zhu Di would greet him at the pier tomorrow, he couldn't sit still anymore. "How does this make it, have you not persuaded His Majesty?"

Lu Zhen smiled wryly and said, "Why didn't you persuade me? If the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty hadn't objected, His Majesty would have come to the Xinjiangkou Navy Division to welcome you."

Zhu Zhanji's heart was agitated, but his face became calmer. He sighed and said, "Throughout the ages, there is no reason for a grandfather to welcome his grandson!"

Lu Zhen laughed and said: "The news that the army burned down the palace of the King of Wa and captured the king of the Wa Kingdom alive, His Majesty couldn't help but be overjoyed. The Kingdom of Wa has never been invaded by foreigners since ancient times. His Highness has made such a great achievement this time, of course His Majesty can't bear his own interest."

When meeting Zhu Di, an emperor who doesn't like to be restrained, these ministers are now used to it, and it is almost impossible to restrain him with etiquette.

After discussing the reception procedures for tomorrow, Zhu Zhanji asked them to arrange them to rest in the water village, and asked Yang Zhangde to come over.

He has now joined Jinyiwei as a conductor, although his qualifications are not deep.But because Zhu Zhanji was personally promoted, Zhu Di did not object, so the current commander of the right, Sai Hazhi, is very supportive of his work.

Now that he is still familiar with the work, Zhu Zhanji doesn't expect him to understand everything.But he doesn't know anything about the current situation in the capital, so he has to ask him.

Before Yang Zhangde's arrival, Zhu Zhanji first met Jin Kuo, the chief eunuch of his Xingqing Palace, and Xue Shanggong, the female officer.

The situation in the palace today is relatively simple. After the death of Empress Xu, the harem is dominated by the two Zhang families.

One of them is Zhu Di's imperial concubine, Zhang Fu's younger sister, and Zhu Zhanji's ally.The other is Crown Princess Zhang, Zhu Zhanji's mother.

Neither of the two women is arrogant and domineering, and they are closely related to Zhu Zhanji's interests, so they help Zhu Zhanji stabilize the harem.

If his children are born one by one, it may cause some palace fights.

But these girls have just entered the palace, and their influence in the palace is very small.

They were all in their teens, and the oldest, Hu Liangdi, was only the same age as Zhu Zhanji, and had just turned eighteen, not yet the age to be a strong mother.

In addition, Zhu Zhanji gave birth to four children at once, and four more were in the mother's belly.With so many children added at once, the concubines didn't even know which one they were jealous of.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji's harem is relatively peaceful.

It's just that the prince fell ill again in the summer, but Zhu Gaochi suffered more than 20 catties at once due to the illness and the summer, but it seemed that his health was much better.

There is another great joy, that is, Zhu Gaoxu, king of Han Dynasty, was imprisoned again.

After taking over Qingzhou, he privately raised [-] warriors, and looted the surrounding counties and counties, causing four grievances in the people's livelihood.

Xu Yelu, commander of the soldiers and horses, was ordered to go to Qingzhou to interrogate Zhu Di on his behalf, and sent troops to surround the Han Palace and captured the three thousand warriors.

But Zhu Gaoxu actually held an iron melon and killed Xu Yelu.

Zhu Di was furious when he heard the news, and ordered the censor to investigate dozens of his wrongdoings, seized his crown and uniform, and imprisoned him in the Palace of the King of Han.

Later, after the news of Zhu Zhanji's victory came back, Zhu Dige cut off his left and right guards, transferred all the soldiers he recruited to the north of Juyongguan, and set up security guards as his left and right guards.
