My Daming New Empire

Although he didn't come back to Yingtian Mansion for only a year, Lin Hanlun already felt that he couldn't keep up with the times when he came to Yingtian Mansion here.

Ying Tianfu's new phone can transmit sound over thousands of miles.And if the telephone line is connected to Tanglin City, doesn't that mean that people in Tanglin City will be able to talk directly to the emperor's grandfather in the future?

And if telephones spread widely, Ying Tianfu will soon be able to know where there is war except for natural disasters and man-made disasters.

On the second day after returning, Ning Guo and Lin Hanlun were summoned by Zhu Zhanji. After reading the thick military report written by Tang Saier, Zhu Zhanji asked Lin Hanlun what he had seen and heard in the army. Send him to the Ministry of Defense to explain to the generals of the general staff some problems that have arisen during the widespread use of the repeating gun.

Lin Hanlun didn't even have a chance to speak to Zhu Zhanji, so he was sent out of the palace, and he was inevitably a little depressed.

Leaving Princess Ningguo in front of her, looking at her plain clothes, Zhu Zhanji sighed. "Since you're back, you should stay in the capital until your mother is full of filial piety before returning to Tanglin City."

Princess Ningguo was unwilling to accept such an arrangement. "Royal father, mother-in-law is marching west, Han Sheng sits in the rear, and even Han Lun has to accompany the army, how can my daughter stay in the capital alone to enjoy the blessings?"

"Don't think that I don't know what kind of style you are in Tanglin City. If you have more Tanglin City, you don't have many, but if you don't, you have a lot."

"But as long as my daughter stays in Tanglin City, won't the hearts of the people be at ease? Isn't this also the biggest role of my princess?"

Zhu Zhanji heard the resentment in her tone, but didn't take it to heart. "You are a princess born of the empress. It is condescending to marry Lin Hansheng. But if it weren't for a man like Lin Hansheng and a mother-in-law like Tang Sanjie, would you be able to live so comfortably? The situation of the Lin family these years is indeed more difficult than other families. But isn't the Lin family's wealth and military strength the largest among the noble families of the Ming Dynasty?

This time, not only you have to stay in the capital, but even Han Lun, I will not let him go back.Because this time, I want to completely solve the worries of the Lin family. "

Ning Guofeng stared slightly, looking at Zhu Zhanji speechless for a moment.

Zhu Zhanji said again: "Because the population was too small in the past, I let the Slavs leave them alone. But now there are more than 100 million people in the three cities of Tanglin, and more than 200 million Han people in the Dudu Mansion in Hezhong. Win, beat and drive the Slavs away, you people have 20 years of development, and the population is barely able to hold the territory.

However, Ning Guo, have you ever thought about it, if I push the border of Ming Dynasty all the way to Moscow, then where should your Lin family go?Think about this matter clearly, come and tell me again..."

For Tang Sai'er, Ning Guo and Lin Hanlun, the affairs of the Lin family are a big deal.

But to Zhu Zhanji, the affairs of the Lin family are just a trivial matter of the Ming Empire.

Now except for North Africa, Europe, West Asia, all other regions are under the control of Ming Dynasty. The Europeans are now unable to turn the sky. He thinks more about the long-term continuation of Ming Dynasty.

The long-term stability of a country, at any time, is actually the stability of the political structure, the stability of economic development, the advancement of technology, and the stability of military leadership.

Daming's technology and economy are already in the leading position in the world, especially after the emergence of the telephone, Zhu Zhanji is no longer afraid of being monopolized by officials. At this time, he is more concerned about cutting power.

In terms of politics, after decades of uninterrupted adjustments, the executive power, legislative power, supervisory power, and military power have been delineated by him.

Any minister, even the current Prime Minister Yu Qian, can manage very limited scope.He can't control the military; he can't control the law enforcement agencies; he can't control the legislative power.

The prime minister has the emperor above him, and his peers are the speaker and the secretary-general. Each of them can only manage a part of the scope of their authority, so that they are not afraid of the appearance of powerful officials.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji is now considering weakening his military power.

Since the Xungui family was entrusted overseas, including his sons, the clan was also entrusted overseas. Now in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, there is no particularly powerful Xungui family.

Currently around Daming, there are only three Duke’s mansions that still have the power to command troops. in the river.

The military guards of other ministries, since they don't have to face the war directly, belong to the commanding power of activities.

That is to say, the military guards of each ministry are fixed, but the officials above the commander level are all mobile, changing every three to six years to prevent the generals from supporting themselves.

Every noble or general can only be ranked according to the rank, and there are ten to three hundred personal guards who directly obey the orders of the generals.

Except for them, Daming also had an exception in the three cities in the far west, where Tang Saier and the others brought the people from Shandong, and the right to lead the army has always been in their hands.

If Ming did not go west, they would be the northwest border of Ming, but if Ming really went to Moscow, or even to Central Europe and Western Europe, their location would become the hinterland of Ming.

After becoming the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible for him to still have the right to lead the army as he does now.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji supported Tang Saier's desire to go west.But how to rearrange it after the fight is a problem that needs to be carefully considered.

That night, the Lin Mansion at the foot of the Zijin Mountain, Ning Guo, Lin Hanlun, and Lin Xi, the eldest son of the Lin family, discussed in the study for most of the night.

Ningguo wants to give up his military power, and the Lin family will mainly manage Tanglin City from now on.

However, Lin Hanlun was unwilling to give up his military power, and wanted the Lin family to continue to move westward and act as the gatekeeper of Ming Dynasty.

And Lin Xi had other ideas...

Since he was injured on the battlefield, Lin Xi, a fierce general of the generation, has turned into a frail and frail man, but his experience and insight have not been left behind.

After the telegraph line was installed in Tanglin City, coupled with the unimpeded railway, Ming's dominance over the border was greatly enhanced.

Now, the telephone has also been invented, and Ying Tianfu can be contacted with just one phone call for border affairs, which weakens the role of honor in a disguised form.

From Lin Xi's point of view, unless the Lin family kept going forward bravely and acted as the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty's westward advance, otherwise, the military power would eventually be given up slowly.

But now there are only two people left in the second generation of the Lin family, and the third generation has not yet grown up, and they are now in a desperate situation.

Moreover, if the Lin family wants to develop for a long time, they can't let all the children go to the battlefield.People are gone, and no matter how big the territory is, it will be in vain.

Therefore, he did not support Lin Hanlun's idea.

Ningguo's idea is feasible, but if the Ming Dynasty's border really reaches Moscow, how long can the Lin family of Tanglin City in the rear guard it?

The three of them discussed for most of the night, and finally decided to send a telegram to Tang Lincheng first, asking Tang Saier and Lin Chu for their opinions.

"Tomorrow I will go to see my father again. He likes to play with people's hearts, but I don't believe that he will disregard the relationship between father and daughter and not give my Lin family a way out."

Of course Zhu Zhanji would not.He knew that Ning Guo and the others sent a telegram back to Tang Lincheng to ask Tang Sai'er and Lin Chu for their opinions, and he also prepared several options for the Lin family.

Facing Ning Guo's question, he said directly: "I will reward Tanglin City to the Lin family. From now on, as the fiefdom of the Lin family, the Ming Dynasty will not fall, and the Lin family will continue. However, Mrs. Tang should enjoy a few years of happiness in her lifetime as a soldier."

Ning Guo asked: "Father has used the Lin family for more than 40 years. Now that there are more Han people in the far west, have you crossed the river and demolished the bridge?"

Zhu Zhanji glanced at her sideways, and said with a laugh: "You don't need to deliberately provoke me, I have always been very sober about national affairs. Being able to be used by me shows that the Lin family still has the value of being used. If it is not worth being used by me , that is the real tragedy.

In the past few decades, although I have been using the Lin family, has my Daming not given much support to the Lin family?Without my Daming Hezhong Army, would the Lin family really be able to fight against each other?The Lin family has indeed contributed, so I am willing to let the Lin family guard Tanglin City in the era, just to give up the military power. Is it really unacceptable? "

"Then what should my Lin family do with this Western Expedition?"

"I still ordered your mother-in-law to be the commander-in-chief, but I will send 20 troops from Beiming Mountain and [-] troops from Hezhong Army, so as to gather an elite army of [-] troops to sweep the world down in one fell swoop."

Tang Sai'er, who was in Nizhny Novgorod, only received the news from Tanglin City when the year was approaching.

This western expedition was requested by her on her own initiative, and the purpose was to rely on the strength of the Lin family to obtain more room for the Lin family to turn around before the court.

But after receiving the telegram, she knew that her plan had been seen through by His Majesty long ago.

His Majesty is not willing to let the Lin family's tail get stuck, but this is also the protection of the Lin family.

In the future, the Lin family will be able to guard Tanglin City for generations without having to face the threat of the enemy, so they should be satisfied.

She is also tired of leading an army of 10 and feeding tens of thousands of people.

Before she died, she was able to become the commander-in-chief of an army and lead the army to march westward. This is also His Majesty's reward for her for decades.
