My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Grandpa Huang, do you still remember the difference between strategic and tactical significance we said? We fought against Japan to protect the coastal areas from Japanese pirates, and any fight is a side issue. Timur Kingdom It's the same, why do we fight them, and what's the benefit of beating them? It's meaningless to mobilize 10 people to fight a war just to vent our anger."

Zhu Di put on a straight face, and said, "Since we want to fight, of course we want to turn it into my Daming's territory, do I still need you to teach me about this?"

This is unreasonable and overwhelms people with power.

But he has the right to be unreasonable!

Zhu Zhanji could only say: "Grandpa Emperor, my grandson will never compete with you for the credit for pacifying the Timur kingdom. This trip to the West, my grandson just wants to find a way out for the clan and relieve some of the burden on me, Daming. Grandpa Huang can take advantage of this time to actively prepare for the war, raise supplies, and when his grandson returns, he will bring a detailed map of the Timur Kingdom. At that time, wouldn’t the conquest be twice the result with half the effort?"

He also forgot to eat, and said to Li Liang, "Go and bring that little globe over."

After Li Liang picked up the small globe he had placed at the Navy Headquarters, he pointed to the map of Australia and South Africa and said, "The world is so big. If I want to become the world's celestial kingdom, I must have a globe." Considering everything, suppressing, containing, and letting all parts of the world act according to my Da Ming's intentions is the main purpose of Da Ming's expansion..."

Zhu Di said impatiently: "It's a mere Timur country, how can I bother to care about it? Wherever my Daming Shenji Camp goes, I still don't bow down!"

It doesn't make sense, Zhu Zhanji feels distressed.But when he said Shenjiying, Zhu Zhanji suddenly thought of an excellent reason.He asked back: "Without enough gunpowder, what is the use of the Shenji Camp?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wang Yan and asked, "Can the gunpowder reserves be enough for an army of [-] to go on an expedition?"

Wang Yan replied with a normal expression: "Your Majesty, the stock of gunpowder is not high now, and even the mining in Yunnan and Beimingshan has been affected!"

Zhu Di dissatisfied and asked: "Didn't the Ministry of Industry say last time that gunpowder is only produced but not supplied? There should be a lot of stocks."

Wang Yan nodded and said: "My Daming does have more gunpowder now than in previous years, but now not only gunpowder is needed for mining, but also for burning cement and blasting stones. In the past, there were not enough gunpowder in the Shenji Battalion. Now there are musketeers. It’s more than [-], and the consumption is more than ten times that of the past.”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, before solving the supply of gunpowder, please stay calm."

Zhu Di frowned, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first..."

Zhu Zhanji had just picked up his rice bowl and ate a few mouthfuls, but he said again: "Are you sure you arranged for the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to go to Xichuan to find saltpeter mines?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "There are Jiangyou people in Sun'er's army. Speaking of his hometown, he mentioned that there seems to be a saltpeter mine in Laojun Mountain. Now even the craftsmen have not arrived there, and Sun'er can't guarantee it."

He said a little irritably: "If you have any news, remember to let me know as soon as possible."

After finally dismissing Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji heaved a sigh of relief.

Although such a war-crazed grandfather can keep out the wind and rain, it is too difficult to grasp his heart.

However, what he said just now seemed to mean that Zhu Gaochi was sent to Beiping, and he was going to go to war, and it seemed that he wanted to supervise the country by himself...

I gave up this opportunity and had to wait a few more years if I wanted to get in touch with the government.

When Long Nian came out of the naval compound, Zhu Di couldn't help but looked back, and said with a smile to Wang Yan: "Grandfather, you still value force too much, and don't see the importance of government affairs. This kid hasn't turned the corner yet. You can conquer the world, but you cannot rule the world!"

Wang Yan said with a smile: "Isn't His Highness's expectations exactly what His Majesty expects?"

Zhu Di laughed.

And at the Navy headquarters, Zhu Zhanji, who didn't know that he had escaped Zhu Di's temptation by accident, was busy with the bank formation meeting again.

Thank you for seeing people with lights, a5s5, spit on you, Zhuge, don’t be too bright—, super cowardly hair ball, 5335 performance, book friend 20180506175132835, thank you for your support

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

Zhu Di is an emperor with a strong desire for power, but it doesn't mean that he is an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang who has to grasp all the big and small things.

Zhu Yuanzhang can be busy for seven or eight hours a day, but he has to take care of what the common people eat at the dinner table.

But Zhu Di is a second-generation official after all. Although he likes to centralize power like Zhu Yuanzhang, he will not devote all his energy to serving the country and the people.

He likes beauties, likes to enjoy, and likes to be able to enjoy a song, dance and drama of court ladies in the harem every night.

A person's energy is limited, so he also learned to delegate power and not let himself work hard like his father.

For him, the emperor on horseback, military power is the most important thing, and stability is secondary.As for the life of the common people, he paid little attention to it, as long as they could survive.

However, all three sons let him down.

Zhu Gaoxu is most like him, but he only learned the bravery on the battlefield, he has no intentions, he can only be a general, not a commander.

He has no opinion on civil affairs, and has no scruples about the life and death of ordinary people. If he is a king, he must be a tyrant.

Zhu Gaosui is proud of being favored and acts recklessly, but he is just a playboy.Now being bewitched by the grandson, he is even more fascinated by wealth, but this also makes him feel more at ease.

Zhu Gaochi's son was smart when he was young, but he was taught too much by Zhu Yuanzhang and superstitious about Confucianism. This disappointed him the most.

He only learned the fur of his grandfather, but he didn't learn the essence of his grandfather at all.

Zhu Di admired his father very much.He was diligent and studious when he was young, and through the experience of the world, he learned from one fact and learned everything from another, and established a set of knowledge system of his own.

But what about Zhu Gaochi?Everyone said what they said, and now they are completely bewitched by those ministers.

What's more, those ministers used him to wrestle with him, but he didn't realize it.

Therefore, Zhu Di basically would not allow him to participate too much in government affairs, and only gave him a Zhanshi Mansion, drew a circle for him, and let him play in the circle.

As long as he is bewitched by others and wants to jump out, Zhu Di will beat him back.

For this grandson, Zhu Di is the most satisfied.At a very young age, he was deeply scheming, and he played the game of power superbly, and even established his own rules.

An emperor does not need to be familiar with the scriptures, nor does he need to be superior in force.The most important thing is to understand people's hearts and learn to balance, so as to stabilize the situation.

The eldest son is partial to Wen, and the second son is partial to martial arts. Only this grandson understands the true meaning of the position of emperor.

However, there is only one throne, and Zhu Di is not old yet...

He is only 57 years old this year. In his own opinion, he can live at least another ten years.

Before he conquered Japan, he was actually intending to transfer power to his grandson.Whether it is letting him take charge of the navy or letting him get close to the generals, it can prove his intention to stabilize the transfer of power.

Even if Zhu Zhanji wins over these servants in the palace, he never cares.In his opinion, the more capable Zhu Zhanji is, the smoother the transition of power, the better.

But all of this, since Zhu Zhanji put Dongying under his feet neatly, everything changed.

Because of Zhu Zhanji's strong rise, the one who suffers the most is not himself, but the prince who has been suppressed by him.

The prince has always only had some support among civil servants. The previous army supported Zhu Gaochi, but after Qiu Fu died, the army remained neutral.

They look down on Zhu Gaochi who needs support even when he walks, and because Zhu Gaochi has always valued literature over martial arts.

Therefore, after Taisun's Northern Expedition, the military generals put their hopes on Zhu Zhanji, who was closer to the soldiers.

Zhu Di showed no pity for the prince who was caught in the cracks.

He is a good son, a good father, and a good prince, but he is not a good emperor.

Zhu Di was happy to see the prince's power being squeezed, but when he came back with the great achievement of conquering Japan, Zhu Di suddenly found that even his own prestige was suppressed by this grandson.
