[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

The court of Ming Dynasty started a vigorous wave of resignations.

The instigator of this wave of resignations is Hou Muying from Xiping, who is guarding one side of Yunnan.

Although the adopted son of Emperor Hongwu had no blood relationship with the old Zhu family, he was deeply trusted by two generations of emperors. His military power and rewards were no less than that of Emperor Hongwu's own son.

For the adopted son's request, Emperor Hongwu basically agreed to everything. Even the difficult request of relocating people from Tianfu to Yunnan, Emperor Hongwu didn't say anything, and directly approved it.

As far as favor is concerned, even among the princes, Mu Ying can be regarded as one of a kind.

Of course, he never failed Emperor Hongwu's trust.

During the more than ten years of guarding Yunnan, under his leadership, the Ming court built mountains and roads in Yunnan, promoted Confucianism, communicated with local pro-Ming forces in many ways, resolved hatred, and deepened understanding.

It was precisely because of his goodwill that Daming's deep cultivation in Yunnan went smoothly unexpectedly.

However, don't think that Mu Ying is just an administrative talent. In fact, her ability to lead troops to fight is also first-class.

In the 21st year of Hongwu, the Luchuan Kingdom at that time set off a rebellion, mobilized 30 troops and hundreds of war elephants to go northward, intending to occupy Yunnan. At that time, the emperor was still Emperor Hongwu. Transportation is inconvenient, and only the advance army arrived when the war broke out.

At that time, the battle situation was critical, so Mu Ying directly led 30 soldiers to face Luchuan King's [-] army.In that battle, he ordered the musketeers to line up in three teams to shoot in circles. With the advantage of the guns, he achieved the field control effect when the number was completely at a disadvantage. Then he went deep into the battle situation. With his excellent commanding ability, Winning more with less, won this battle with a difference of nearly ten times the number of people.

The victory of this war stabilized the southern border of Ming Dynasty, and the powerful Luchuan forces in the past also gradually disintegrated after this battle, and it is now completely unable to pose a threat to Ming Dynasty.

Since then, Mu Ying has repeatedly sent troops to quell the rebellion. During the ten years when the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty was relatively stable, the number of times he led troops to fight was far more than [-]% of the generals, and he did not lose a single one.

Mu Bai has a good impression of this uncle, not only because he is the father of his little friend Mu Chun, but also because he has provided extremely strong support for Mu Bai's firearm improvement plan.

In recent years, the neighbors in the north have been focusing on economic development. Although the Golden Family is still struggling, no matter whether it is the side members or the savage Jurchen and the people of the Grand Duchy of Russia, they all focus on doing business with Daming.

Warriors on the prairie are also afraid of death, and they are not stupid. In the past, going south to plunder was to bully the weak, and the rewards were far greater than the sacrifices, but now every one of the border towns of Daming is showing off their muscles. They ran over to give away their heads , Only a fool can do it.

The coal and oil transported to Daming through the Songhua River and Vladivostok every year can exchange them for a large amount of fine wine and rice grains. Why do they have to do that terrible business?

Instead of pinning your head to your trouser belt, you might as well find a way to get more of what Daming wants, anyway, they don’t have anything else in this place, and those things that Daming wants are hidden in the ground in baskets and baskets, as long as you find them correctly Just find a place and let people dig it out.

Coincidentally, due to the demise of the Yuan Empire, a large number of people retreated to the grasslands. Today's grasslands...hehe, there is no shortage of labor.

Naturally, they also attracted a lot of opposition, but anyone who knew that Daming bought coal to make iron would shout that selling coal was to help the next door become stronger. At that time, the Golden Family, which still had prestige and power, also ordered the ban on coal. Outflows, but none of this stopped ship after ship of energy from being sent to Daming.

When asked, the men on the prairie would even spit, "Don't think we are fooling around because we know little. Let me ask you, if we don't sell coal, will the Ming Dynasty not be able to make iron?"

Of course not, regardless of how far away it is, but the news of Daming is really not too far away for the tribes on the grassland.

The current prairie seems to have returned to hundreds of years ago. The Han Dynasty in the south is full of attraction for them. Their mood is extremely complicated. On the one hand, they are curious, on the other hand, they are longing. Of course, these emotions There is still a little disdain in the middle, in short, it is very awkward.

But this kind of awkward mood does not affect their pursuit of goods from the south - Daming's popular toys must be played with, Daming's popular stories must be listened to, and Daming's popular makeup must also be used. Learn about it, of course you have to buy the book of Daming's words and read it.

The protagonist of the storybook is their old rival and old neighbor Yanwang Zhu Di, so it must be used to watch the fun.

Oh, no wonder, when I went to thresh rice a few years ago, I felt that the opponent's fighting style had changed. It turned out to be a substitution.Before they knew it, the old neighbor actually went for a stroll in the sea. It was so disrespectful, why didn't he say it earlier.

As I said earlier, they often went to have a look while people were away.

After discovering that Zhu Di was leading the show in Journey to the Sea, his old opponents stretched their necks and waited to eat melons. It seemed that they were even more excited.

What?Met the Tu tribe shooting arrows at the fleet?Good shot, why don't you shoot a few more arrows?Oh shit, it's actually a bone arrow, that has an X purpose, they will give you an iron arrow to give you another chance, do you want it?

What?Encountered a hurricane?Alas, this hurricane is not a good hurricane. A hurricane that can kill Zhu Laosi is a good one. It does not add the power of faith at first glance. Next time, they must pray to Changshengtian before Zhu Laosi goes to sea to help the hurricane .

Are there dolphins following the convoy?This dolphin must be blind, don't think it's meat just because it looks red.

Encountered a giant kun and haven't capsized yet?Bah, this must be a pirated version of kun. If you don’t believe me, come to their North Sea. The kun fish in the North Sea is authentic.

Bought coal, brought gold, and was given a divine beast 123 auspicious 456...

It must be fake news!Where did the old neighbor come from with so many good things in his character? Damn, he actually wrote these things to greedy them, his conscience is so bad... By the way, is the Coral Mountain real?How much does that cost? !

The old buddies on the prairie bit their bones viciously, spurning the shamelessness of their neighbors.But even though they said so, these people still watched with great interest, and unconsciously ate the brainwashing package of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, now, they use the brainwashing bag they ate to attack the envoy sent by the Golden Family: "Da Ming is buying coal everywhere now, is there any shortage of us? Look at the size of the family and how much we are, just to earn some wine money That's all, what can it affect?!"

"Besides, these coals are left here, and I don't see what you have figured out. Look, Daming has created a cannon that shoots thousands of miles. Don't you even understand the gun?"

"Brother, as a human being, the most important thing is to be happy, and one must be able to afford to lose, BALABALA"

The envoys of the Golden Family almost fainted, and what made them even angrier was that it wasn't just one or two saying that, it was like collusion, most of the folks who sold resources said that.

This is to rebel!

But today's Golden Family no longer has the glory of the past. After several divisions, they have become so weak that everyone can see the clues. In addition, the current leader of the Golden Family is not in the right place, and the rest of the tribes do not recognize him. Status is naturally not convincing at critical moments.

Now their primary enemy is actually not the Ming Dynasty in the south, but the major tribes that dominate the grassland with them, including the Wala, Jurchen and other tribes that were once included in their sphere of influence. After being powerless, the Golden Family could only turn a blind eye and close one eye in the end. In the next few years, they even intervened very wisely to set up special tax items to make profits from it.

They were all focused on peaceful trade, and Mu Bai was of course embarrassed to use the other party as a touchstone, but weapons were invented to test their sharpness, so all the new firearms were sent to the southwest.

When the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty were most eager to reform, Mu Ying would receive a batch of gifts from the central government almost every three months.In addition to the thick instruction manual and maintenance guide, the person who came to deliver the goods also asked him for his feedback with a smile, and said that he would go back and improve.

In fact, Mu Ying's strategic literacy is indeed profound, and his sensitivity to firearms is also extremely high. These firearms, which are either easy to use or useless, have been played into a flower in his hands, hitting those who want to fight over there. The native officials who made trouble complained endlessly, and indeed provided a lot of ideas for improving the military situation.

For example, today's firecrackers have been changed from matchlocks to flints because of his request.

Many areas in Yunnan are humid and rainy, and the most feared thing for hot weapons is rain. Even if the filling of gunpowder has been changed to prefabricated "ammunition", as long as the rain is not too much, it can be filled, but there is really no way to ignite it. You can't hold an umbrella to light a fire in the rain, can you?The concealment is too bad.

Just in order to meet the requirement of "use in rainy or humid climates", the craftsmen of Bingzhanju finally changed the ignition device from a matchlock to a flint after contributing countless hairs, which pushed the firearm into a new stage. .

In addition to this request, Mu Ying also listed one, two, and three problems in the use of firearms. Every time he replied, it was the most tense and most anticipated time of the war.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't make sense at all, saying that the wind is like the rain, and as soon as he saw any requirements in the letter, he would throw money at them to do it.

Although the leaders are willing to spend money and they are very happy, but this kind of task with impossible tasks, spending money is really bald.

Daming Bingzhanju, a sad place where piles of hair can be swept out every day, basically everyone who was transferred to Bingzhanju came here with high spirits and black hair, with pockets full and heads empty.

Therefore, when this man who brought countless pains to craftsmen and officials entered Beijing, many people from the Bingzhan Bureau went to the streets to watch.

Because... Daming's Xiping Hou Muying looks so good-looking!

Although it has passed, I don't know whether it is the climate in southern Yunnan that nourishes people, or the years are extraordinarily good. Muying looks like she is in her early thirties, with a strong figure, riding a horse and wearing armor, and looks very heroic. Her pair of tiger eyes are even brighter. There is a god, as bright as a star.When he saw the bustling people of Yingtian Mansion, General Mu smiled even more, so handsome that the little girls and big sisters on the side of the road couldn't help covering their hearts.

The local officials and vassal princes of Ming Dynasty had thousands of postures when they entered the capital, but there were only a few of them like Mu Ying who directly put on armor and rode on horseback.

No matter what era it is, the male hormones are the strongest when wearing armor and sharpening, not to mention that the guard team he brought back has been on the battlefield recently, and their eyes are different from ordinary people.Although according to regulations, large troops had to camp outside the city, and only a few dozen people actually entered the capital, but their aura was quite captivating when they moved and remained still.

"Father laughs so terribly."

A few steps behind Xipinghou were three young horse riders.Seeing the ladies on the side of the road raising their handkerchiefs and looking very excited, the youngest boy touched his nose and whispered to his mother and brother beside him: "If they know that Daddy is looking at them now, he is thinking about this. How many people can I bring back to Yunnan at a time, I don’t know if I can still laugh.”

His elder brother, Mu Sheng, the second son of the Xiping Hou family, swept across the people on the side of the road, and smiled a little.

Yingtianfu has a large population, and most of them are skilled people. Although the borderlands of Yunnan have been included in the Ming Dynasty for some years, the land is sparsely populated and the level of education is low. It needs a large number of people to drive it. The absorbed population has been digested by Yunnan, and they have the intention of relocating to Beijing this time.

Yes, in the eyes of the Mu family, the people of Yingtian Mansion in front of them are not the people, but a group of crispy leeks with flapping leaves calling them to dig them up by the roots.

Before entering the palace, the members of the Mu family were very sure about this request, but no one expected that Mu Ying would change his mind after entering the palace. Instead of grabbing the shovel and digging up the leeks, he even paid himself a loss. go in.

The news of Xiping Hou Muying's resignation shocked the entire ruling and opposition parties.

The reason for Mu Ying's resignation was that she was getting old and her physical fitness was declining, which was not conducive to leading the army to fight, but Mu Bai looked at the muscular uncle in front of him with lightning-like eyes, and felt that this was an excuse.

"Cough cough!" Mu Ying coughed dryly and sighed, "Time is not forgiving, Your Highness, I am not ashamed, I have wasted 40 years, maybe not good enough, but it is still hard work..."

The corner of Mu Bai's mouth twitched suddenly, and he quickly raised his hand to interrupt him.What's the matter with your fathers, why do you even have the same lines when you want to retire, but Mu Ying is right, he is older than Zhu Biao, although Yunnan is a good place, but the premise is that you have been staying in Kunming with.

The terrain of Yunnan is complex, with plateaus and dense forests, and various miasma and poisonous insects. Even with the support of imperial medicine, it is indeed a bit difficult for a man of his age.

Moreover, Mu Ying's eldest son is Mu Bai's little friend Ah Chun. After Mu Ying resigns, his successor will naturally be Ah Chun. Mu Bai trusts and trusts his little friend's ability.

Mu Chun is at the age of fighting, and he and he also have the same mind, let him be in the position, it will be beneficial to Mu Bai, but...

He sighed, put Mu Ying's memorials together and put them aside, and said seriously: "Uncle Mu, you are a family member, and I will not hide some things from you. The royal father did have the idea of ​​abdicating, but he has nothing to do with it." The idea of ​​changing the strings..."

He was halfway through speaking, but his hand had already been handed out first. Mu Ying's eyes fell on the memorial in the hands of the little prince, and she couldn't help smiling when she saw the words "Sincerely, Xiping Hou Muying" written by herself on the memorial book. .

He took a step back and bowed down to this strange yet familiar young man. He knew what His Royal Highness's words meant.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is promising him that he will trust him like his father. Even if he ascends to the throne, Mu Ying's treatment will still not change, and he will still be the Marquis of Xiping who lives outside the imperial court and dominates the southwest. .

For a Hou with a different surname, this is already the most favored and the greatest compliment.

but……

Thinking of the brief conversation with his younger brother just now, and thinking of his younger brother's invitation to him with a smile, Mu Ying's eyes moved slightly, he raised his hand, and gently sent back the memorabilia that was handed to him by His Highness the Crown Prince. The actual actions show their attitude.

—He does not intend to retract the resignation.

He is determined to let go of this power.

Because his brother is inviting him to go out with him and have a look,

"Your Highness, you are also an elder brother, so you must know how I feel now." Mu Ying smiled kindly, "When a younger brother makes a request after careful consideration, an elder brother can't bear to refuse."

So, you are willing to let go of your power and family, and board a boat with his father to see the world?

I really don't understand your royal brotherhood.

Mu Bai imagined that if his younger brothers made such a request to him... No, there is no need for them to ask, Mu Bai really wants to go out and have a look.However, if his younger brother really proposed, he probably wouldn't hesitate too much.

Hey, ok ok.

Mu Bai couldn't help sighing, and clipped the pre-examination strip into the memorial sent by Mu Ying. Mu Ying is a marquis, and his title inheritance documents still need the emperor's seal.

As for why the memorial that needs the emperor's seal will be sent to him first... Heh, I understand everything.

His father has completely entered the state of the last month before he resigned. Not to mention he was in such a good mood that he exploded, and he didn't want to work at all.His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had already given all the work to the hard-working Crown Prince, and lived a happy life with half a day's leisure in his life, which he called "letting his son adapt to the emperor's work rhythm early".

But this leisure is not for nothing. I also know that when he abdicates, the resistance will definitely be greater than that of Emperor Hongwu. As far as the emperor's age is concerned, Zhu Biao, who has not yet reached fifty, is at the peak of spring and autumn. The illness is fine, and I know how much the courtiers will object to such a thing as abdicating and going out to play.

Mu Bai will not help him deal with this situation, so Zhu Biao has been working hard these days on all kinds of prying + playing side drums. According to his plan, he is going to step down from his duties before this summer, and then drive The trade winds of autumn start a new journey.

But I don't know if Zhu Biao, who wants to retire with all his heart, is too capable, or whether he wants to go out and have a look. The temptation of this idea to Daming people is too strong, so he approved Mu Ying's resignation and sent away the successor. Not long after Mu Chun, Mu Bai received a letter of recitation floating in like snowflakes.

After careful calculation, nearly one-third of the positions in the court had submitted resignation letters to him, and after the interview, they all coyly expressed that they would leave with Zhu Biao.

It took less than half a decade for Mu Bai to go from being shocked to calm. At first he was just a little skeptical, but when he connected the backgrounds of these people, he realized...the resignation of these people was probably a gift from his old father .

They are either veterans of the two dynasties, highly respected, with peaches and plums all over the world, or heroes of the founding of the country or after meritorious service, their status and status are quite special. Now that they move, the vacated positions can be filled by Mu Bai's friends one by one.

what is this?I'm going to throw the burden on him, so don't engage in this kind of tenderness before leaving.

Mu Bai held the pedigree chart for a long while, then sighed, and lit the candle.The light of the fire gently wrapped the rice paper, and as he let go, the thin rice paper fell lightly on the gold brick, and was engulfed by the flames after a few blows.

Well, for the sake of his father's conscience... Forgive him!

Mu Bai snorted, raised his hand and scratched red marks on several official resignation papers.

In the eighth year of Jianwen, AD 1399, Xia, the emperor took the throne of Zen.

In the autumn of the same year, the largest ship in the [-]th century left Liujiagang, carrying the founding emperor and second emperor of the Ming Empire, as well as a group of civil servants and generals, and sailed to the deep sea under the watchful eyes of the new emperor.

The father and son opened the prelude to the marine civilization of the Ming Dynasty with their own practical actions.

When the treasure ship set sail, the sound of the siren and the flag of the sun and the moon waving in the wind announced to the whole world that the next fifteenth century, sixteenth century, and even longer years would be destined to belong to Ming Dynasty.

The author has something to say: Ouch!I can only write here, history cannot be changed (but loopholes can be exploited)

The old father didn't simply want to go out to play, there were other reasons, don't forget that the old father's dream is... cough.

Seeing that you clicked on the author outside the article, you said...you really dare to think... (falling into silence) Damn, you have such a big brain, I really want to read it! (Hello)

Let me think about how to write the next chapter, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it once I write it.
