Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian turned his head slightly and saw Concubine Ding Rang sitting a little behind Queen Zhang.

Concubine Ding Rang, who has just finished confinement, is plump and cute.

Concubine Ding was holding a swaddled baby in her arms and was teasing her in a low voice.

"Concubine Ding."

Zhu Youjian waved:

"Let me hug you."

Concubine Ding Rang blushed with embarrassment. It wasn't until she saw the emperor's gaze clearly that she realized that Zhu Youjian was referring to the baby in her arms.

"Your Majesty, be gentle. The child is still young and his bones are soft."

The old eunuch Wang Chengen behind him whispered some precautions.

According to the boss's explanation, Zhu Youjian held the baby's head with one hand and the waist with the other, holding the little prince in his arms.

Before the little guy could even recognize his birth, a pair of big black eyes were staring at Zhu Youjian.

It is a sunny day again today and the weather is not cold, so the blanket wrapped around the child is only a thin layer.

The little prince was babbling and stretched out his chubby little hand, trying to pull Zhu Youjian's beard.

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Youjian laughed, letting the long beard grow on his chin according to the custom of the era be caught by the little prince.

"Little darling, grow up quickly!

I will seal a beautiful country for you. "

"Queen, sister-in-law, look, this guy is asking me for a reward!"

After handing her son over to the emperor, Concubine Ding Rang squatted in front of Zhu Youjian and suddenly became nervous.

The two queens sitting on both sides of Zhu Youjian also turned their heads, covered their mouths and chuckled.

Queen Zhou had never had any scheming intentions. After hearing this, she immediately smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, the little prince is only one and a half months old, how can he know how to ask for rewards from Your Majesty?"

"Ok?"

On the other side, Queen Zhang's curved eyebrows twitched slightly, and she instantly understood that the emperor was going to use the little prince to talk about something.

What big things have happened recently?

Xu Zhengming's flight performances have been performed hundreds of times, so naturally this is not what the emperor was talking about.

On the other side of the Yangtze River, His Majesty's strategy is still to hold on to a fixed point, and at the same time, support the resistance forces to consume the Qing army.

As smart as Empress Zhang, she naturally understood what the emperor meant.

——This is to identify the wealthy families in Jiangnan!

So, is it the direction of the grassland?

Shouldn't be possible.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, His Majesty told him that the grassland should be done quietly and absolutely not with a big fanfare.

When the key railway lines of the Central Railway Bureau of the Ming Dynasty are completed, even if the grassland people want to resist, they will fall in droves along the railway lines.

Of course, if the construction of the railway network can be completed on the grassland, the vast northern Xinjiang will completely become the basic base of the Ming Dynasty.

therefore……

Queen Zhang's eyes flashed.

Your Majesty will never take the initiative to mention the grassland.

So--

The only thing left is the ocean!

Beyond the ocean, the Ming Dynasty had two directions for using its troops:

One, Nanyang;

Second, America was renamed Dongsheng Divine Continent by His Majesty.

However, the fleets of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui, Zuo Liangyu, and Liu Fangliang, who mainly attacked the Southeast Asia direction, with the old port as the core, laid an ambush in the Little Western Ocean (the name of the Indian Ocean in the Ming Dynasty).

Waiting for Westerners to throw themselves into the trap!

Queen Zhang's eyes lit up.

Within the Ming Dynasty, there were wealthy families who united with Westerners.

At present, His Majesty wants to take a long-term view to catch big fish, so naturally he will not take the initiative to bring up the matter of the Nanyang Fleet.

Zhang Yan instantly guessed the truth - Your Majesty must mention America, where Huang Degong is mainly attacking.

He is using the little prince to pave the way for Huang Degong, who was "exiled" to America, to return to politics!

"Your Majesty wants to give the little prince a feudal kingdom, so it is naturally good."

Queen Zhang's voice was not loud, but people within a few feet of her could hear her clearly.

The ministers sitting on the lower steps in the front row pricked up their ears.

He saw the ministers turning slightly sideways and pretending to eavesdrop casually.

There was a smile on Queen Zhang's lips.

Little does he know that this is exactly what Zhang Yan hopes to achieve.

She immediately responded:

"The little prince is blessed with a gift of nature. He was born after the Ming Dynasty reached its peak. This is a treasure given to the Ming Dynasty by heaven.

Over there in Nanyang, the heat has always been scorching, so naturally it was not worthy of the little prince.

Your Majesty wants to grant the little prince a kingdom, but he still needs more efforts from his ministers! "

Zhu Youjian glanced at Zhang Yan approvingly.

You are worthy of being my close friend.

With this kind of thought, who else!

Those who can sit next to the emperor are the true core of Ming Dynasty.

When Empress Zhang said this, they immediately understood that the emperor and Empress Zhang were playing a double act!

Li Banghua stood up, turned around, and saluted the emperor:

"May I ask Your Majesty, are you going to send troops to Tianzhu?"

He, who has always known military affairs, would naturally not think that Gong Yi's mission to Tianzhu was really to let Timur's descendants continue to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor in front of him has black wrists!

What your Majesty is planning must be the legendary Tianzhu where a handful of millet is a rice field!

Although Li Banghua knew the military, he also understood that the emperor wanted to expand territory.

However, due to the limitations of the times, he did not think of going overseas.

After all, China has always been a continental country.

According to the traditional concept of the Chinese people, it is best for the country to be connected by land routes.

No wonder Li Banghua thought of Tianzhu...

Because the Ming Dynasty has turned Sanxuan and Liuwei into fiefdoms for military generals.

The Ming Dynasty's outlet has long extended to the Little Western Ocean (Indian Ocean).

At this time, the Mughal Dynasty was already bordering the land actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

He Tengjiao, the Minister of Rites, stood up:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead a large army to conquer Tianzhu.

It has been more than a hundred years since Timur moved to Tianzhu.

They do not respect the royal way, do not obey the teachings, and even stop paying tribute to our Ming Dynasty. They deserve to die!

I am willing to go and conquer! "

"His Majesty!

He Shilang is the right-hand man of the eldest uncle and cannot leave the court lightly.

I am willing to go! "

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

"Your Majesty, there are still ministers!"

Shi Bangzhao, Wang Zhang, Wu Linzheng, Zhang Qingzhen, Li Ruogui and other civil and military ministers also stood up one after another.

Most of these people followed Zhu Youjian all the way south to build the humerus of Ming Dynasty.

Their position is naturally on the center line.

Although the courtiers a little further away did not hear Zhang Yan's words, they saw so many people standing up and after thinking about it for a moment, they instantly understood that the emperor was going to use troops externally again.

Immediately, all the courtiers stood up.

What a joke!

Since His Majesty left Beijing, Ming Technology has experienced a blowout.

Now, this plane can even hang bombs.

If they hadn't taken advantage of the last moment to quickly plan their military exploits...

Do we really want to watch others build a new country while we ourselves have not established an inch of land?

An air show, with just two sentences by Zhang Yan, turned into a platform for expanding territory.

"You guys!"

Seeing that the ministers were so upright, Zhu Youjian was satisfied in his heart, but he still had to take into account "propriety, justice and integrity".

……
