Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

The boys all came from families of the third rank or above, and were sent to the palace as companions for study. They were all the favored ones.

They were in class with the girls for the first time.

For some people who don't have sisters at home, this is almost the first time they come into contact with girls.

They want to talk to girls, but they also want to save face.

He behaved like a dandy boy, and several little girls were scared and cried.

Tang Sai'er stepped forward.

——People in our family usually don’t quarrel, they just fight.

——Whoever wins gets the final say. You draw the lines!

The boys looked at each other.

Tang Sai'er became impatient and said two more words.

——Are you still going to fight?

——If you don’t fight us, we will leave.

They actually fought.

Everyone was lying on the ground playing marbles.

Tang Sai'er won all the money that more than a dozen boys had in their pockets.

The boy who refused to admit defeat even bet on things he didn't bring from home.

Still lost miserably.

A guy who was so angry that he lost jumped out to fight, but the quick-witted Tang Sai'er kicked him into the pool and made him drink a bellyful of water.

Become famous in World War I!

"I think that in the future, Fatty Zhu will be like me!"

Zhu Gaochi said a lot of things and finally summarized them with one sentence.

"...Do you still know that this is called virtue?"

Zhang Xin wants to be happy.

"It's passed down from generation to generation, how can it not be a virtue! The husband is not strong enough, it's all my father's fault!!!"

"I'll go tell Mom tomorrow."

"No - if my dad finds out, my butt will be in trouble again!"

“That’s the effect we want.”

"..."

~~~~~

Ming Dynasty, the first year of Yongle, July.

In the harem, Xu and Zhang Xin changed almost all the systems that could be changed.

Zhu Zhiming and Zhu Anle have also been constantly pushing the lower limit of women's rights that everyone can accept.

At the end of June, nearly a thousand eunuchs and palace maids were released from the imperial city.

The whole country has a bumper grain harvest.

Good things also began to come to him.

[The emperor ordered the establishment of Jianzhou Guard, appointed the Jurchen leader Ahachu as the commander, and gave him the Chinese name Li Sicheng]

Since ancient times, Sushen, Yiluo, Wuji, Waqiao and Jurchen have been of the same lineage.

They are all ancestors of the Manchu people living in the Northeast.

The Manchus were called Jurchens at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and were divided into three major tribes: Jianzhou, Haiyou and Donghai (also known as Wild Jurchens).

During the Hongwu reign, the late emperor recovered Liaodong, which had been occupied by Goryeo, and brought it into his possession. However, it was too far away after all, and he could only use a tributary policy to govern this vast land.

As a result, the various tribes of the local Jurchens frequently fought against each other and occasionally invaded the border.

The entire Liaodong region nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, but in reality, during the more than two years that Zhu Yunwen was in power, the court's decrees could no longer be implemented locally.

When Zhu Di first ascended the throne, he sent envoys to the Jurchen tribe to announce his instructions.

This year, Jurchen leaders led their people into the pass to pay homage to the emperor.

This month, it was finally decided to formally establish the Jianzhou Guard Military and Civil Command Office, and it was granted imperial seals, crowns and belts. At the same time, the Jianzhou Guard Experience Office was also established.

From Zhu Di's usual simple and direct style.

If civilian control is impossible, then military control will do the job.

The establishment of many garrisons during the Yongle period and the Nurgan Regional Military Commission that governed the garrisons added a line of defense to the northeastern border of the Ming Dynasty.

During the Yongle period, because the Jurchens had been stable for a long time, Zhu Di was able to free up his hands to fight against the warmongers in Inner Mongolia.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

But it was enough to surprise Zhu Gaochi.

Because of the extreme cold, the land of Liaodong can only produce grain once a year.

The amount of food in one season may seem like not much, but the land is vast.

Moreover, the land is not over-cultivated and the quality of the soil is much better than that in the inland areas.

If someone can properly cultivate the land, they can definitely produce food of high quality and quantity.

Zhang Xin paid attention to this, mainly in the Merit Department. She remembered clearly some of the words that the fairy said inadvertently.

——The Ming Dynasty lasted less than two hundred years and was finally destroyed by the Jurchens.

During the Xuande reign, Zhu Zhanji began to gradually abolish the Nurgan Regional Command, moved it inland to Kaiyuan, withdrew all troops, and handed over the entire Liaodong region to the Jurchens.

At that time, it was because we were short of money and we also felt that these Jurchens were ungrateful people who could never be tamed.

There is no need to have a group of foreigners who stay only because of rewards.

But the matter is still in a relatively harmonious state among everyone. We can only wait for Zhu Zhanji to ascend the throne and let him pay attention to it.

If you can prevent it, take precautions; if you can’t, just forget it.

Two hundred years, assuming that one emperor reigns for thirty years, that’s how many generations.

She couldn't control it. Neither could Zhu Zhanji.

Every family has some useless descendants.

She was on high alert, yet Zhu Qizhen appeared.

The good thing is not only the actual expansion of territory, but also the overseas influence of the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Xin's ambitions.

[The King of Japan, Minamoto no Doyoshi, sent envoys to pay tribute].

【The ban on sea travel has been abolished. Anyone going out to sea must report to the relevant authorities and pay taxes. If caught, they will be treated as pirates.】

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he had already sent envoys to convey his imperial edict to Japan.

Last month, Zhu Di planned to send Zuo Tongzheng Zhao Juren, envoy Zhang Hong and monk Daocheng to Japan as envoys.

But before they set off, envoys from the Japanese King Minamoto no Doyoshi had arrived in Ningbo. This month, the Japanese envoys came to Nanjing to offer tribute.

Zhu Di treated him with courtesy and allowed Japan to sell weapons and other prohibited items to him in the country.

When the Japanese envoys returned to their country, Zhu Di sent officials to escort them and brought them crowns and robes, a gold seal with a tortoise-shaped button, and brocade and gauze items to King Minamoto no Michiyoshi.

From then on, the two countries resumed the friendly exchanges that had been almost severed since the end of the Hongwu period.

Zhu Gaochi had no reaction to these two things, but Zhang Xin was particularly happy.

The Japanese lack everything except silver.

The amount of silver mines on that small island alone is more than the total amount of silver mines in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This is all friendly communication.

The maritime ban was also lifted.

This means that everyone can organize their own overseas trip.

In the past few years, the capital's development has been advancing by leaps and bounds. Shops, farms, tea gardens, and other money-making channels in Zhang Xin's hands are all stable and can be said to be making a fortune every day.

She had no shortage of money, and she had gained experience from the last merchant caravan sail. She no longer needed King Ning and could organize a fleet on her own.

She didn't plan to go far, so she went specifically to take advantage of the Japanese.

This requires someone you completely trust.

Zhang Xin briefly mentioned it to Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaochi immediately mentioned Zhang Xin's elder brother Zhang Chang, and also mentioned Li Jinglong.

After making an appointment to meet at a restaurant.

Li Jinglong hesitated slightly.

"Is this reliable? My family doesn't have much money for me to spend."

"Withered vines, old trees, crows, go to court and go home to fish. Is that reliable?"

Zhu Gaochi was not polite and asked back.

"You!!! You see the truth but don't say it! What's wrong with me slacking off?"

Li Jinglong became angry and humiliated.

"It's worthless!"

Zhu Gaochi responded frankly.
