Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Even if North Korea became a province of the Ming Dynasty, it was definitely a province with a large population. Zhu Di traveled with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue twice, so he naturally knew the importance of population to economic and industrial development!

In his opinion, Zhu Song definitely got a big deal. Without doing anything, this good thing fell directly on his head!

Now the imperial court wants to set up a Chief Secretary in North Korea, completely including North Korea in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and becoming a province of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Di also had to admire Lao Jiu and Zhu Yue's methods. He almost took over the entire North Korea without spending a single soldier. This was something that was unthinkable before, but Lao Jiu did it!

The key is that this peach was picked directly by Zhu Song. If Zhu Di said he was not envious, he would definitely be lying!

Of course, Zhu Di will not compete with Zhu Song for the fat piece of North Korea. He now has a broader vision. In his eyes, the more ideal one may be the Nanyang area!

Although Southeast Asia is still a barren land in the eyes of the Han people, Zhu Di, who already has advanced vision, knows that it also has unique advantages and conditions, and it is certainly not much worse than North Korea!

And he, Zhu Di, was also prepared to take down his fiefdom himself!

He knew that day would not be too far away. As long as Zhu Yue came to power, it would be a matter of time before the capital was moved to Peking. It was a matter of course for him, the King of Yan, to move to a fiefdom!

Moreover, preparations must be made in advance for the move, which also means that there is not much time left for Zhu Di!

"Is this Beiping Mansion?"

"Why, it looks no worse than Yingtian City in the past. It feels like Peiping is even more prosperous!"

After following Zhu Di into Beiping Mansion, Zhu Song even praised with emotion!

Today's Beiping Mansion, after so many years of construction and efforts by Zhu Di, coupled with the secret support of Zhu Yue and the imperial court, has become the fourth most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty after Hanzhong, Xi'an, and Yingtian!

No wonder Zhu Song was so amazed after seeing it!

"Don't make a fuss. When you go to North Korea, I'm afraid your Ninth Brother's support will be indispensable. As long as you follow his instructions and manage the fiefdom well, North Korea's future development will definitely be the same!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he warned him honestly.

"What the fourth brother said is true, and the younger brother has remembered it!"

Zhu Song nodded in agreement. Anyway, as long as he hugs Brother Jiu's thick legs, he will definitely be right!

After staying in Peiping for three days, Zhu Song and Zhu Di directly led the army northward. After arriving at Daning Mansion, they met up with Ning King Zhu Quan who was already ready. Together with Zhu Quan's 20,000-faced guards, they set off towards North Korea!

The three vassals of the Ming Dynasty sent a total of 60,000 troops to North Korea. In addition, the former North Korean national adviser Qingxu Taoist priest was working together inside and outside. Stabilizing the situation in North Korea was not a problem at all!

In August of the 31st year of Hongwu, King Zhu Song of Han officially vassalized North Korea and opened the city. In November of the same year, King Ning Zhu Quan and King Yan Zhu Di helped Zhu Song stabilize the situation in North Korea, and then each returned to their own fiefdoms!

In May of the 30nd year of Hongwu, the Daming Navy Pioneer Battalion with a total of 10 warships and naval troops was stationed in the temporary military port at the southernmost tip of North Korea, facing Japan across the sea!

At this point, the situation in North Korea is completely stable!

In October of the 20nd year of Hongwu, all 10 soldiers of the navy were equipped with the latest Ming Dynasty firearms, flintlocks. At the same time, soldiers of the Jiangnan navy were on standby!

Needless to say, in the thirty-third year of Hongwu, there will be a battle between Ming Dynasty and Japan!

20 naval troops, divided into two groups, from North Korea and the East China Sea, will form a north-south encirclement of the entire Japan!

However, just when everyone was discussing how to conquer Japan in a short period of time, something unexpected happened!

In early May of the thirty-third year of Hongwu, Crown Prince Zhu Biao suddenly fell ill!

Moreover, this disease was so aggressive that it only took two days for Zhu Biao to go from being alive and kicking to lying on the hospital bed dying!

For a time, the government and the public were shocked!

Zhu Yuanzhang did not conceal the news that Zhu Biao was seriously ill, and the few insiders also knew that Zhu Biao's end had finally arrived!

As soon as Zhu Yue, who was in Hanzhong, got the news, he rushed to Xi'an with his three sons overnight!

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly seemed to have aged ten years. After Zhu Biao fell ill, he only went to the East Palace once, but he did not dare to go back to the East Palace to visit Zhu Biao. He just hid alone in the imperial study and secretly wiped his tears!

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han has entered the palace!"

When Zhu Yue entered the palace, Wang Chen also sent news to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Let Lao Jiu go directly to the East Palace to see his elder brother off for the last time!"

"We...we won't go there!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken at the moment. If something happened suddenly, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not be able to bear to guard Zhu Biao?

But he was counting the days, and it took him more than eight years before he had to face the result that Zhu Biao was really going to leave him!

He knew that his son was going to die, but as a father, he couldn't do anything!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang once again experienced what it means to be helpless!

Just like the helplessness that Queen Ma felt when she died of illness!

After Zhu Yue entered the palace, he was also worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's condition, but he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang did not see him at all, but asked him to go directly to the East Palace!

"You three, go and accompany your grandpa. I'll go to the East Palace to see your uncle!"

Zhu Yue thought for a while and decided to send Zhu Xifeng and the three of them to the old man's side!

Now is the time when the old man is most vulnerable, and he must be accompanied by someone close to him!

The three Zhu Xifeng brothers also reached a rare consensus for the first time, and they behaved extremely well. They followed Wang Chen and rushed directly to Fengtian Palace to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang!

The sudden appearance of the three grandsons in Fengtian Hall really stabilized Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat collapsed mood.

If Zhu Biao represents the ending sunset, then these three grandsons in front of him represent endless hope!

The moment Zhu Yuanzhang saw the three brothers, he seemed to have regained all his strength that had been drained away!

"Grandpa Huang, are you really not going to the East Palace to see your uncle?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang's mood stabilized, Zhu Xifeng couldn't help but ask.

"We're not going, your uncle doesn't want us to see him like he is now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, his tone full of helplessness and bitterness!

Zhu Biao suddenly fell ill, and because the efficacy of the longevity pill was finally completely exhausted, all his energy and spirit were instantly stripped away!

Today's Zhu Biao looks like an old man in his eighties or nineties, even older than Zhu Yuanzhang!

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to go again after going to the East Palace for the first time!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to look anymore, and Zhu Biao didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to see what he looked like now!

"Actually, you don't have to be too sad. Even if uncle is really dead, we will still be able to see him before long!"

"It does take some time for the soul of the newly deceased to condense and take shape, but if my father sends the uncle's soul into the Emperor Soul Tower, he should be able to condense it in a short time!"
