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

Zhu Youjian straightened his body and silently swore an oath in his heart:

I have mercy on the Chinese people in this time and space!

Give me 30 years, and I will definitely not make a family unable to afford food or clothing!

I want everyone to have a house to live in, food to eat, clothing to wear, education, and opportunities for advancement...

All my Chinese people have it!

Zhu Youjian's eyes were firm, and his inner vows were as loud as a Honglu bell:

I will protect China in this time and space!

……

In another carriage, Liu Zongmin also opened the curtain.

Looking at the women and children all over the mountains and plains, either with big bellies or dragging young children, carrying baskets and picking wild vegetables...

"Ugh!"

A long, vague sigh came from Liu Zongmin's throat.

Liu Zongmin looked at the people outside the window with mixed feelings in his heart.

Looking back at the beginning, he was moved by Li Zicheng's concept of "equalizing land between the rich and the humble".

So, as a famous blacksmith with superb craftsmanship, good food, warm clothes, and even dozens of apprentices...

However, he risked beheading, abandoned his prosperous life, and followed Li Zicheng to conquer all directions, preparing to overthrow the Zhu family emperor.

I didn’t want to, but the Tatars took advantage of me...

He looked towards the front carriage, which he could not see.

Good luck!

As a rebel plotting to usurp the throne, the emperor personally offered him an olive branch to jointly defend China.

The battle at Yao'er Dusi changed China's decadent trend.

This is external only.

Internally, the emperor was even more silent and did a lot...

He opened workshops and construction sites and supported tens of millions of people.

They finally had the opportunity to have enough food and clothing...

Even the "equalization of land between the noble and the humble" that Li Zicheng impressed upon himself was gradually realized in the hands of the emperor.

What the emperor did was far beyond them.

His Majesty organized the gentry and wealthy families to jointly establish business groups, causing the wealthy families to give up their land and concentrate on business.

Those displaced people can all get the right to cultivate the land owned by the country...

The corners of Liu Zongmin's mouth curved, even his teeth were exposed.

Under his thick beard, this former blacksmith smiled so cheerfully.

Whoever can keep the people fed and clothed is the one I, Old Liu, support!

……

Shangnan County.

After making a small amount of money, the workers rushed back to the construction site happily, rolling up their sleeves and working hard.

Thanks to the sweat of the people, even though it is difficult to build roads in mountainous areas, the railway that only connected to Shangnan a few years ago has been extended to the north for more than 100 miles.

It has only been just over a month since we resumed work after the new year!

This - is a miracle created by that "humble ant" that no one wants to take a direct look at!

Just like in later generations, as long as their whole family can be fed, this group of "ants" can work hard regardless of black and white.

Except for the older generation, few people know that "one floor per building in seven days", the speed of Shenzhen that makes foreigners stunned, was created in the hands of a group of farmers whose average education was only the third grade of elementary school!

They even broke this record with their own hands time and time again!

"One floor in six days"...

"One floor in five days"...

"One floor in three days"...

One "miracle" after another, and "speed" again and again, were created by them with their own hands!

The motivation of ordinary people is so humble and pitiful.

The railway heading north from Handu is not far from Longju Village, an important town on the ancient Shangyu Road.

……

The train stopped at the northernmost point of Hanlong Railway.

A line of soldiers lined up, ready to go.

The generals, each with bright armor, stood silently.

In the temporary train dispatching station, Zhu Youjian personally took out a Jimeng gun from his arms.

On the mahogany gun stock, two lines of small words are inlaid with gold thread:

‘The emperor gave Liu Zongmin, the vanguard of the Western Army.

The first year of Ming Dynasty Yongsheng. ’

Zhu Youjian held the gun in both hands and handed it to Liu Zongmin solemnly.

"Liu Qing, in the old Tang Dynasty, there was a stone tablet:

The road to the West is nine thousand nine hundred miles, and the road to Anxi is nine thousand nine hundred miles.

That was the heroic spirit of my Chinese man in the Tang Dynasty in the past!

Although I am a descendant of the Zhu family, I have to praise it - the military power of the Tang Dynasty is unprecedented in history!

I am waiting for the Qing family to rebuild the Anxi Protectorate and then show off the power of China. "

This man with a blacksmith background pursed his lips hard when he heard the emperor's words.

His eyes were shining with light.

Portrait of Liu Zongmin

Liu Zongmin took Jimeng's gun with both hands, knelt on one knee, raised his head and shouted:

“Anxi is not the only place in the west of China!

I, Liu Zongmin, am willing to be a pioneer and travel nine thousand miles westward from Anxi!

Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty is still nine thousand miles west of Anxi! "

The emperor had already made an agreement with his boss Li - they were going to defeat Timur.

The emperor said that as long as Li Zicheng could do it, he would grant them the title of Daxi Kingdom.

Like Korea, it became a Ming vassal state from generation to generation.

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Youjian laughed. He put his hands on Liu Zongmin's shoulders and pulled him up:

"it is good!

I am waiting for the good news from Liu Qing! "

Liu Zongmin loudly agreed, took a few steps back, and performed the military general salute.

The armor leaves all over the body were banging against each other, making a deafening sound.

Liu Zongmin bent his waist for a few breaths, then straightened up:

"The road is long, Your Majesty, please don't send us off. I, Old Liu, will set off now!"

After saying that, Liu Zongmin got on his horse, stretched out his hand to take the Ming Dynasty battle flag from his own soldier:

"Officials of Prince Shun of the Ming Dynasty, let's go!

Here we go, Anxi! "

One by one, the generals of the army walked silently past the emperor.

Zhu Youjian handed them a Jimeng gun with his own hands.

As for Wang Lian, every time the emperor took one, he took another tray from the eunuch.

In the tray, without exception, there is a Jimeng gun.

Made of peach wood, the red gun stock is either made of gold or silver wire and inlaid with two lines of small words:

"What is the position given by the emperor to conquer the Western Army?"

The first year of Ming Dynasty Yongsheng. ’

Li Yan stood on the side of the emperor, looking at his former comrades. They took the guns one by one, thanked them, stood up and left.

I feel quite uncomfortable.

I don’t know why, His Majesty deliberately kept him and Liu Fangliang...

Li Zicheng also specially sent him a letter, saying that he should stay and serve in the court.

This letter was written in Li Zicheng's personal capacity.

Although the words were still cordial, Li Yan could smell the unfamiliarity in the paper and ink.

Even at the end, Li Zicheng made a special joke, claiming that if he failed, he would come to his house to beg for a meal and so on...

Seeing the emperor in front of him handing out short spears, Li Yan sniffed hard.

Comrades who have been together for several years, after this separation, I don’t know when we will be reunited again!

"Li You!"

The emperor suddenly called someone specifically.

Li Yan looked up and saw that it was his cousin.

"His Majesty!"

Li You bent down and saluted Zhu Youjian.

In his hand, he held the Jimeng Spear respectfully.

The golden "Imperial Conquest of the Western Army General Li You, the First Year of Yongsheng in the Ming Dynasty" shines brightly under the sunlight.
