Chapter 42: Queen Ma
In the eighth year of Hongwu, Shu Yun quarreled with Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time because of Zhu Xi's marriage.
In fact, at this time, the marriage partners of the princes and princesses of the Ming Dynasty were not the same as they were later, they were all selected by the people, but they were chosen from honorable families, and the princes chose the daughters of these princes. It is to marry a nephew of Xungui's family.
Shu Yun had no opinion on this.Arranged marriages are unavoidable in this era. In Shu Yun's era, a lot of people couldn't find a partner on their own. They wished their parents could arrange everything for them. It's best to book a marriage from an early age doll pro.But in this era, the marriage between the prince and the princess is full of political color to some extent. Among other things, being able to be selected by the royal family as in-laws at least represents the trust of the emperor, no, unless the emperor is a little He doesn't care about his own children, he will never marry off his daughter, and end up with his in-laws!
Of course, this is what he did in history. Li Shanchang’s son betrayed the princess, and he still had to be punished. use!
Zhu Biao had already been engaged before, and he married Chang Yuchun's daughter, so now it's Zhu Xi's turn.As for Zhu Xi, he originally planned to marry Deng Yu's daughter. Deng Yu made great achievements in the war. You can use the strength of Deng Yu's old troops to develop Central and Western Asia.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted Zhu Xi to marry Wang Baobao's sister.Before the Ming army and Wang Baobao fought hand-to-hand, Wang Baobao was frustrated and had to retreat, but he left behind many women and children, and his youngest sister was among the captured people.This is not an ordinary younger sister, but Wang Baobao's sister from the same mother. This relationship is relatively close, otherwise, Wang Baobao wouldn't be able to bring her by his side.It's just that this is not a martial arts novel, even if that Zhao Min is really that, Shu Yun would not do it!For a person like Wang Baobao, no matter what his sister thinks, she will not be the kind of person who disregards the hatred of the family and the country for the sake of love between men and women.
If Wang Baobao surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing to say, just marry him, but the problem is that Wang Baobao is still on the front line of fighting against the Ming Dynasty. Under such circumstances, it is conceivable what his sister's position is. Got it!And marrying this one, not only will Zhu Xi not get help from his wife's family, but even drag him down!
But Zhu Yuanzhang also had his own reasons. Jin Yiwei, who went to the grassland to inquire about the news, had sent back news that Wang Baobao had a serious health problem.This is also unavoidable. Wang Baobao has been fighting for so many years. He has lost more than he won, and he has to face the strife within the Northern Yuan court. He is physically and mentally exhausted. If he can have a chance to take a good rest, it will be able to alleviate it, but the current situation The problem is that there are not many people who are serious enough to fight in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and there are still people inside who want to use the power of the Ming army to consume Wang Baobao's strength. Wang Baobao has a large fief on the grassland, and the grassland is fertile. , I don’t know how many people are greedy.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very greedy. Wang Baobao's fief was very important. He had already made preparations. As soon as Wang Baobao died, he would directly seize Wang Baobao's fief as his son and daughter's in-laws, and then use it as a base to sweep across the grassland.
In addition, after becoming an emperor, it is no longer possible to act according to pure love and hatred!It is beneficial to keep the rotten Mongols on the grassland. Of course, the premise is to subdue them first. If possible, Zhu Yuanzhang is even willing to canonize Zhu Xing as the Mongolian king and let him rule Mongolia.
Zhu Yuanzhang explained his plan to Shu Yun carefully, and Shu Yun fell silent immediately.Everyone thinks it is a good thing to be born in the emperor's family, but in fact, it is indeed all kinds of involuntary things.Shu Yun sighed, and said, "What about Duke Wei's family?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also showed an embarrassing look: "Well, how about marrying the girl from the Deng family to the third child?"
Shu Yun almost laughed out of breath, even if the marriage failed in the end, it couldn't be like this!
It has been several years since the founding of the country, because middle-aged men suffered heavy casualties in the war, and the ratio of men to women was seriously unequal. In many places, women have to come forward to support their families.The workshops created by Shu Yun are generally simple handicraft workshops. Women are more careful and dexterous than men, so they have always only recruited women.
Under such circumstances, even though it seems that the social economy has regained its vitality in the past few years, it is already a general trend for women to go out to work, and it is impossible to turn back!Everyone knows how to settle accounts. In a family, if there is one less person, a large income will be lost. Compared with the money these women earn from working, housework and the like are nothing at all!If you don't let the female relatives of your family show their faces, then you will have to suffer from poverty!
Except for a very small number of people, otherwise, no one would want to go back to the era when only the males in the family were digging food in the fields, and it was rare to have enough food and clothing all year round.The busy season of farming is so long every year. During the slack season, if you want to earn more money, you can't always stay at home, and you need to earn some money.Either go out to do part-time work, or just do some handicraft work.But under normal circumstances, these are actually not earning much money, because the demand is not great.In the past, except for some projects organized by the government, there were very few places that required too much labor, such as some places that required labor all year round, and these generally had fixed manpower.
To put it bluntly, this is the case in the era of the small peasant economy. Everyone has no money, and everyone is reluctant to spend. Naturally, there are not so many jobs. This is a vicious circle.
The situation is different now. It is easy to go from thrifty to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.In a family, women are no longer trapped by housework and other things that do not produce direct economic benefits. They can directly participate in labor and get paid, which is not even lower than that of men. Some handy women earn more money than just A man who knows how to sell his strength and has no skills is much better!
Under such circumstances, it would be inappropriate to say that women are humble and weak!These days, whoever controls the productivity and means of production has the right to speak!For example, in those places in the south of the Yangtze River, women who can embroider and weave have a great say at home, but there are only a few who can master these skills. Now, after a little training, as long as they are not too dull, these women Women are soon skilled laborers.
In short, no matter how much you earn, the money a woman earns has become an indispensable part of a family. Then, the social status of women will naturally be improved. As for the defense of men and women, there is not much Pay attention.
Shu Yun didn't want the princes and princesses to become the kind of people who grew up in the palace and didn't know the sufferings of the people, so when they reached a certain age, they could take people out of the palace. Of course, there were no special circumstances, and they couldn't spend the night outside. up.
The princes and princesses often show their faces outside, and the children of honorable families are naturally similar, but those civil servants have stricter family education. Up to now, they still abide by the original rules and do not allow their female relatives to go out at will. After all, they are like this The family is not to the point where they need their own female relatives to come forward to make money.Therefore, the children in the palace and those honorable children naturally became familiar with each other.
The reason why Shu Yun chose Deng Yu's daughter to be Zhu Xi's future princess is also because they have known each other for a long time and have developed some affection for each other.If it is out of political considerations to separate them and marry each other, it will be nothing more than a thought in the future. However, if the daughter of the Deng family is used as compensation and made the princess of Zhu Yan, it is a big deal. Think things are not lively enough?For no reason, suspicions arose between the two brothers.
Zhu Yuanzhang soon came up with another crooked idea, saying that he could let the Deng family girl be the second concubine.
Shu Yun almost lost his temper. Why is the second concubine not the second concubine? Let the founding father's daughter be the concubine. Is this a marriage or an enmity!
Shu Yun waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, she might not be willing to be this princess, Guorui, don't be so popular as your own son! But, with Qi'er's temperament, you have to persuade him first." He can do it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows and said: "This important marriage matter requires the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker! He is a child from a family, what can he think! Wang Baobao is also a prince in Mengyuan, and his sister-in-law is also a prince. He can't make it if he is wronged!"
Shu Yun really wanted to roll her eyes, getting married is one thing, but what happens after marriage is another matter!You have facilitated this marriage in order to facilitate the annexation of the grassland by Zhu Xi or his descendants in the future. In this case, the relationship between the two of them is still very important.If these two become resentful couples, and the other party refuses to cooperate later, it will really be twice the result with half the effort!
What's more, in any case, the wife is the one who will live with Zhu Xi for the rest of his life. If there is always disharmony between the two, Zhu Xi will not be at ease in this life.
Therefore, Shu Yun said directly: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. I won't bother you with such trivial matters. I'll just talk to Xi'er later!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed. Shu Yun seldom called him His Majesty. Obviously, she was a little upset when she said that. Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, as expected, she was still a woman, and she was thinking about love and love. In fact, Why should a man suffer from having no wife? In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, if Zhu Yu becomes the king of Mongolia in the future, even if the Wang family is not in his favor, so what if he chooses beauties widely?
So, that's why until today, it is still impossible for Shu Yun to fall in love with Zhu Yuanzhang, this guy is a straight man with cancer!Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have so much time to spend on comforting his son. He handed over the matter to Shu Yun with great confidence, and then he was busy dealing with the government affairs.After so many years, Shu Yun has taken care of everything properly, eliminating Zhu Yuanzhang's worries.Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies can be implemented smoothly, but there is actually Shu Yun's shadow behind them.As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left, Shu Yun thought about it and called Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi is almost the tallest and strongest of Shu Yun's three sons, and although he is not born with supernatural power, he still has some strength, and he also has some talents in the art of war.This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang chose Zhu Yu to marry Wang Baobao's sister. On the one hand, the two are about the same age. If Zhu Yuanzhang were to choose, Zhu Yu would be a few years younger than Wang. On the other hand, Zhu Xi is indeed a militant, and asking him to manage the grassland is considered to be the right person, and it will definitely satisfy Zhu Xi's militant heart.As for Zhu Bing, this guy actually has no ambitions for power. He actually prefers money, or in other words, management.Back when he was old, Shu Yun planned to set up a farm for him to practice, but he directly asked for a shop. Although it didn't make a lot of money, it made a good profit.
Zhu Xi soon came over. He was still outside for a horse race before, but now he came in sweating profusely. He saluted Shu Yun first, and then asked, "Mother, what do you want from me?"
Shu Yun looked at Zhu Yu's appearance, first asked the palace servants to come over with a basin of handkerchief to let him wipe his face, and when he sat down and started drinking tea, he said: "What else can you do, your elder brother will immediately You're about to get married, and you're only one year younger than your elder brother, so it's time to get engaged!"
Zhu Xi scratched his head, that's right, almost all the people of the same age he knew were engaged, and some of them were already married, for example, Zhu Biao hadn't married at this time, so it was relatively late!
However, Zhu Xi's idea was quite strange. He slapped his thigh and asked enthusiastically: "After I get married, will I be able to go to the battlefield?"
Zhu Yu has long wanted to follow the army to kill people, but unfortunately, he is still young, unless Zhu Yuanzhang personally recruits, otherwise, who would dare to take him out into battle, isn't it just making himself feel uncomfortable? There are three long and two short, no amount of credit is enough!Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang promised him before, when he gets married, he will be considered an adult, and when the time comes, he will be directly crowned, and he can go to see the world!
Hearing Zhu Xi's words, Shu Yun felt a little dizzy. The co-author wanted to get married because he wanted to go out to fight. In this way, it didn't make much difference to him who the object of the big marriage was.
However, Shu Yun still said: "That's what your father promised you, so of course it won't go unnoticed! But, why don't you ask who you are engaged to?"
"Isn't it Jiaojiao?" Zhu Xi showed a puzzled look. Jiaojiao is the maiden name of Deng Yu's concubine's daughter. I always thought that Deng Jiaojiao would be my princess in the future.Of course, at present, the relationship between them is nothing more than childhood sweethearts. If there is any real love, it is probably a lie. Putting Deng Jiaojiao aside, Shu Yun has not seen her a few times, so I don’t know if she is a real person. What kind of idea, but Zhu Xi, that is really a heartless guy.
However, seeing Zhu Xi's expression, Shu Yun still felt a little regretful, but she still shook her head and said, "It's not Jiaojiao!"
Zhu Xi suddenly became a little at a loss, he licked his lips, calmed down quickly, and asked, "Who is that?"
Shu Yun didn't mince words with him, and said directly: "It's Wang Baobao's younger sister, and her Chinese name is Wang Mingzhu!"
Although Zhu Xi is regarded by most people as a man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, in fact, he is not stupid, or in other words, it is just a mask.
Shu Yun always used history as a guide to teach his sons. Moreover, very early on, Zhu Yuanzhang and Shu Yun told their brothers about their arrangements for these princes. This world of flamboyance, but, correspondingly, they can be counted as wealthy for only three or five generations. If the descendants have no chance, apart from bearing the name of a clan, they are worthless!
The other way is, like their father, lead a large army and create their own world. They can open up their own kingdom and inherit it from generation to generation according to their own ideas. As long as they don't turn around and attack Daming, then No matter how they toss, Da Ming will not intervene. Da Ming is only the suzerain in name and will not interfere in their internal affairs.Even, according to Shu Yun, if they can establish a country no less than that of Daming in the future, it will be nothing to upgrade to a brotherly and friendly country.
A good man doesn't want to be separated from his family. Compared with being a conservative king, it sounds better to be a pioneer!As for competing with Zhu Biao for the crown prince, Zhu Xi had actually thought about it, but later he realized that it was completely impractical.First, Zhu Biao himself is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He looks like a good old man, but in fact, Zhu Biao has a deep chest and unusual wrists.The second is that Zhu Yuanzhang and Shu Yun's test is not so easy. If their brothers fight against the wall, Zhu Yuanzhang can pick up a stick and break their legs later!
Therefore, Zhu Yu had already thought about it a long time ago. When he became an adult, he would first go to the army to practice for two years. After gaining experience, he could prepare to take people out to enclose land.Now, when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to let him marry Wang Baobao's younger sister, Zhu Xi quickly reacted: "Father is going to let me open up the grassland?"
Shu Yun nodded approvingly, and said, "That's right!" Shu Yun thought for a while, and simply asked someone to take a pen and paper, and roughly drew a map, which was the map from the Central Plains to the north, all the way to the Arctic Ocean. Then he said: "This is Mongolia as we know it, and here is Mobei, and further north, it is the so-called Beihai! Back then Su Wu was herding sheep, it should be here! It is extremely cold here. Every winter, there are cold waves coming from here. From the North Sea, all the way to the south! It can be said that from Mobei to the north, production activities can only be carried out for half a year in a year, and you must hide in a sheltered place to avoid the cold in the other half of the year. If you go out carelessly, you are likely to freeze die!"
Shu Yun raised his head and looked at Zhu Xi, but saw that his eyes were shining brightly. It's no wonder that these places combined, in terms of area, are bigger than the current Daming. If Zhu Xi can really lay down such a large Then, he could really become a country of brothers with Daming, and sit on an equal footing, so Zhu Yu almost immediately cheered up, and looked at Shu Yun with bright eyes.
Shu Yun really wanted to roll his eyes, but this boy saw that the place was too big. Didn't he see that this kind of place is not very suitable for human survival?Even after hundreds of years, the population in places like Siberia is so sparse that it makes people cry!
But since Zhu Xi has become interested in this place, Shu Yun doesn't plan to waste his time talking, and when he hits a wall when he turns around, he will naturally know not to aim too high!
Shu Yun didn't talk about any feelings with Zhu Xi, and said directly: "So, now you can choose! I know you and Jiao Jiao have known each other since childhood, I'm afraid you can't let her go, if you want Jiao Jiao to be your concubine, Then I will persuade your father in the future to let Min'er marry Wang. Although she is a bit older, she is a third-year female junior and holds a gold brick, so there is nothing to say! But if you choose Wang, then you will be married in the future. You have to treat people well, don't act like you've been wronged when you get a bargain!"
Without waiting for Zhu Xi to speak, Shu Yun said directly: "As for making Jiao Jiao the second concubine and side concubine, don't even mention it!"
Zhu Xi is also a very decisive person, nodded immediately, and said: "Mother, I have made up my mind, I will marry Wang, and I will treat her well! As for Jiaojiao..." Zhu Xi suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Shu Yun sighed, and said: "Don't worry, Jiao Jiao is a good child, while she is still ignorant, just settle the matter!" For girls, it may not be a good thing.These girls were raised arrogantly at home, and most of them had the temperament of little peppers. After marrying into the royal family, they had to face troubles such as side concubines and concubines, so I couldn't say anything more.If you marry into an ordinary family and feel upset, you can fight with your husband, but if you marry into a royal family, you can only endure it!
However, this is Shu Yun's own thoughts, and she can't use her own heart to judge other people. Who knows what Deng Jiaojiao is thinking?One of the most absurd remarks in this world is "I'm doing it for your own good!" In fact, everything is my own selfishness.
Shu Yun has never been a saint, she naturally has selfishness, she wants her child to be good, of course, there is a premise for this, that is, try not to hurt others as much as possible.
Shu Yun didn't know what the little girl Deng Jiaojiao was thinking about. If this girl had a heart for Zhu Xi and now broke a girl's first love, it would inevitably make Shu Yun feel a little guilty, but how to make up for it is another question!
Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is very simple, for a little girl, it is the most affordable to reward her with more fabrics and a title of knighthood!In the future, if the little girl has a heart to belong to, and he directly bestows the marriage in person, wouldn't it be all about face?
Zhu Yuanzhang should have gotten angry with Deng Yu, and Deng Yu also felt a headache. He had really acquiesced to let Zhu Yu be his son-in-law before. Was Wang Baobao's younger sister taken prisoner?But things have come to this point, his daughter's marriage is obviously not as important as the planning of the grassland, Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to let his son marry a Mongolian woman as his concubine. Nothing good came out.
After pondering for a while, Deng Yu decided to ask his daughter what was on his mind first, and then he got a very unexpected answer.
"Father, you said Second Highness, he is very nice!" Deng Jiaojiao ate a mouthful of candied fruit, and then said casually, "Father, why are you asking this! You won't listen to other people's nonsense, saying that we are a couple!"
Deng Jiaojiao widened her glasses, and seeing Deng Yu's stunned expression, she immediately became anxious: "Father, the Second Highness has a temper, and being a brother is good, but my daughter likes the kind, um, the kind that is more gentle!" Here, Deng Jiaojiao is getting a little nervous!
Although Deng Yu had some objections to his daughter's views on mate selection, it still made him heave a long sigh of relief. If Deng Jiaojiao really liked the kind of gentle and elegant scholar, then it's no wonder that Zhu Xi was only equivalent to Deng Jiaojiao. An image of a brother next door who made her feel more secure!Zhu Xi was tall and burly, and although his appearance did not look vicious, it was not considered gentle and delicate, but rather a tougher appearance.In the end, it seemed that Zhu Xi was being sentimental!
In any case, this matter was settled, and except for Zhu Xi who felt a little lost, everyone else felt pretty good!
As for Shu Yun, he finally met Wang Mingzhu who was about to become his second son's wife.
Wang Mingzhu is a Chinese name, and her Mongolian name is Gegentana, which means Mingzhu.She was actually a posthumous child. When she was born, her father had passed away, and she followed Wang Baobao to her uncle, Chahan Timur. To Wang Baobao, she was not so much a younger sister, but a daughter in fact.This is why Zhu Yuanzhang values Wang Mingzhu's identity.
Seeing that their brothers and sisters all have Chinese names, one can tell that their branch is actually very Chinese. When Wang Mingzhu came to see Shu Yun, she was wearing a skirt, just like a Han girl.
Wang Mingzhu looked a little nervous, but this is inevitable, she is actually still a prisoner in name!In fact, she was a little confused. When Wang Mingzhu was born, Yuan Ting was already in a precarious situation. As the pillars of the family, her uncle and elder brother were almost non-stop in suppressing rebellion and fighting. Later, Chahan Timur was killed by his subordinates. Betrayed and assassinated, Wang Baobao, who was not yet 20 years old, had no choice but to stand up as an adopted son and take over Chahan Timur's army to avenge his uncle and adoptive father!
At that time, Wang Mingzhu began to run around with Wang Baobao's army. In a sense, it could be regarded as a homeless.After being captured by the Ming army, Wang Mingzhu even felt relieved deep in her heart, and finally this life with no end in sight and no future in sight was coming to an end.
When she came to see Shu Yun, someone had already told her that she would be married to a prince, or the empress' son.For this, Wang Mingzhu was very surprised. After she was captured, she was actually ready to become a hostage. She knew about Zhu Yuanzhang's several letters to recruit Wang Baobao, so she was not worried about her life. Worrying, but she had prepared before that she might become the emperor's concubine of the Ming Dynasty, how could she know that she was actually married to the prince of the Ming Dynasty now?
Wang Mingzhu had long been prepared to marry her brother and her own family. In the past, if she hadn't been young at that time, she would have become the queen of Emperor Xuanguang, because Emperor Xuanguang needed Wang Baobao's support.
Now, although her marriage has a taste similar to that of a close relative, although Wang Mingzhu has doubts about the future, she quickly accepts the fact that no matter what, marrying a person of the same age as a regular wife is much more free than being a concubine to the emperor .
When they met for the first time, Shu Yun just had some casual conversations with Wang Mingzhu. In fact, they just exchanged some homely words, such as what Wang Mingzhu likes to do when she is at home, whether she likes riding horses and hunting, etc. Wang Mingzhu also thought about her answers. She is very fluent in Chinese. She was a little nervous at the beginning, but then she relaxed a little, and she looked like a little girl.
The communication between Shu Yun and Wang Mingzhu was quite pleasant, and nothing else. Wang Mingzhu is not a girl who likes to be stubborn. On the contrary, she should have a tougher personality, which is very good.However, the problem now is Wang Mingzhu's position.If she married Zhu Xi and still stood in Wang Baobao's position, it would be more difficult.
"How about the girl?" Zhu Yuanzhang came over that night, saw Shu Yun sitting in front of the mirror combing his hair, took the comb, and helped Shu Yun comb his hair, asking.Shu Yun's hair is of very good quality, even if he doesn't use any hair oil, he can comb it to the end and it is extremely smooth.
While enjoying Zhu Yuanzhang's rare hospitality, Shu Yun said, "It looks okay now, but it's useless if we look at it, let them stay alone! Is there a letter from Wang Baobao?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his comb, sat down next to Shu Yun, shook his head, and said, "If he lowers his head so easily, he won't be Wang Baobao!" That's what he said, but Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a good mood, He reconfirmed Wang Baobao's physical condition, thinking about the previous plan, and now he can prepare.
Wang Baobao seems to have a high position and power in Beiyuan now, but he is actually in danger. Wang Baobao actually wants to find a way out, but with his current status, it is impossible to surrender to Daming. With his current physical condition, why bother to make a fuss? What about the late festival?
However, in the process of contacting Wang Baobao's men, the Jin Yiwei sent by Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that these people already wanted to contact Daming.
This is also a normal thing. The tribes on the grassland have always had no so-called loyalty at all. When Wang Baobao is here now, they can barely guarantee their interests. Once something happens to Wang Baobao, their life will be difficult!
In other words, life on the prairie is not easy nowadays. Although the Northern Yuan royal court has conferred official positions one after another, the official positions in the center are now worthless, and the nobles outside don’t take those official positions seriously. , the most important thing is that Wang Ting lacks enough power. Apart from having a name, he has lost the ability to control the outside world.On the contrary, Wang Baobao was quite loyal to Emperor Xuanguang, and this could be regarded as maintaining the dignity of the royal court.However, some people think that Wang Baobao wants to learn from Cao Cao and coerce the emperor to command the princes, and they are quite hostile to Wang Baobao.Once Wang Baobao dies, those nobles are afraid that they will directly counterattack.
As for Daming, the terms of the promise are also very good. As long as they are willing to surrender, they will be able to enclose and get a large pasture near the Hetao. Of course, they have to pay a certain price, for example, to help Daming Raid the grassland.
The object of these people's loyalty is Wang Baobao. If Wang Baobao dies, they will naturally have to think about their own future.
Although the Mongols have already withdrawn from the Central Plains, they can still learn about the changes in the Central Plains from some smugglers and others. After they withdrew from the Central Plains, the Central Plains has changed with each passing day. When they were still in the Central Plains, it was not easy to get good things. Now these are said to be very common in the Central Plains!
This also made these Mongols doubt themselves. Probably they are really not suitable for ruling the Central Plains. You must know that in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the economy was already very depressed because of the cruel methods against the Han people. Of course, the Mongols searched for many treasures , but many things cannot be easily found from other people's warehouses. After they destroyed the production, many things are not easy to get!
As for the Han people, how long has it been since they regained the Central Plains? Not only has the Central Plains begun to recover, but it has also taken on new tricks. How can this not make them feel frustrated or even fearful?
In short, many of Wang Baobao's subordinates began to waver, and Wang Baobao himself had to consider leaving a way out for his confidants and his descendants.It is impossible to return to the Beiyuan royal court. The royal court is too busy to take care of them, and it is impossible to protect them. As for self-reliance, let alone, Wang Baobao counted his subordinates, and none of them can be alone. They lack strategy vision.
After thinking about it, the more reliable one is Daming!Only then did Daming send a letter, expressing that he would let their second prince marry his younger sister, so Wang Baobao simply gave his younger sister the most fertile pasture under his name as a dowry.Anyway, once I die, there will be no way to keep this place, so it is better to give Daming an excuse.In addition, he directly selected a group of people and decided to let them be Wang Mingzhu's dowry. Some of these people were Wang Baobao's personal guards, some herdsmen, and some Han Chinese captured in previous battles. He simply took this opportunity to send them back. , ease the relationship!
After Wang Baobao made his decision, a huge dowry team set off from the grassland, which naturally aroused a lot of discussion along the way. There were already people jumping on the side of the Beiyuan royal court, expressing that they would punish Wang Baobao, who was a rebel. up!On Daming's side, those who don't know are also very confused. Among those who know, some feel that the Han people and the Mongols have a deep hatred and shouldn't just reconcile like this, while the other part feels quite proud. It was the Central Plains who used its own princess to make marriages with foreigners, but now it is the powerful prince among the Mongols who uses his own sister to make marriages. This really satisfied the national pride of many people.
And Zhu Yuanzhang is also very satisfied with Wang Baobao's statement, which is a good start.Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang canonized Wang Mingzhu as the owner of Yining County with great fanfare, and Zhu Yu, who had not yet been crowned king, also followed suit and was named King Qin. Immediately afterwards, the decree of marriage came down.
Since Zhu Biao hadn't gotten married yet, it was just that the decree of marriage had come down, and it would take a long time to prepare for a serious marriage. Qin Tianjian had to choose a date, and Wang Mingzhu couldn't live in the post house all the time. You must have a decent place to get married, you know, people still have such a generous dowry anyway, let alone those gold and silver treasures, the most valuable thing is the pasture where Wang Baobao married.
After confirming the location of the pasture on the map, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to turn around and build a city there, using it as a base to conquer the entire grassland!
It can be said that this marriage has met the requirements of almost everyone, except Yuan Ting.
After Yuan Ting knew what Wang Baobao did, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Those Mongolian nobles who originally wanted Wang Baobao to die immediately could only pray that Wang Baobao would continue to persevere.
There is no way, if at the beginning, the Ming army was on par with the Yuan army in terms of weapons and equipment, by now, the Yuan army is clearly at a disadvantage.Just like this, it is the light that the Yuan army has taken advantage of the geographical advantage.
The grassland is too vast, even with the help of a compass, it is difficult to discern the exact direction without a guide.In addition, the Ming army actually had some scruples, mainly because the ecology of the grassland was already very fragile, and they were unwilling to cause too much damage to the grassland!If this is not the case, they will use artillery wantonly to directly attack the Yuan army!The worry is that the use of firearms will cause a grassland fire, and then it will get out of hand.
Qin Tianjian has confirmed that the drought in the north has been repeated year after year, and there are many sandstorms, which are inseparable from the desertification of the grassland. Even if the degree of greening drops to a certain level, it is likely to affect the rainfall, together with the Yellow River and its corresponding conditions. Branches and even groundwater sources will be affected.Therefore, in order to eliminate the Mongols, we can't let the north side also have trouble with it!With this understanding, the Ming army was very restrained. Although it brought artillery, it would not use it wantonly unless it was absolutely necessary.Of course, muskets with relatively mature technology are still used nowadays. Although there is a problem with the aim after a certain distance, it saves a lot of effort compared to bows and arrows!
In short, the Mongolian side, the more they understand the current situation of Ming Dynasty, the more pessimistic they are about the future.
In fact, at this time, the marriage partners of the princes and princesses of the Ming Dynasty were not the same as they were later, they were all selected by the people, but they were chosen from honorable families, and the princes chose the daughters of these princes. It is to marry a nephew of Xungui's family.
Shu Yun had no opinion on this.Arranged marriages are unavoidable in this era. In Shu Yun's era, a lot of people couldn't find a partner on their own. They wished their parents could arrange everything for them. It's best to book a marriage from an early age doll pro.But in this era, the marriage between the prince and the princess is full of political color to some extent. Among other things, being able to be selected by the royal family as in-laws at least represents the trust of the emperor, no, unless the emperor is a little He doesn't care about his own children, he will never marry off his daughter, and end up with his in-laws!
Of course, this is what he did in history. Li Shanchang’s son betrayed the princess, and he still had to be punished. use!
Zhu Biao had already been engaged before, and he married Chang Yuchun's daughter, so now it's Zhu Xi's turn.As for Zhu Xi, he originally planned to marry Deng Yu's daughter. Deng Yu made great achievements in the war. You can use the strength of Deng Yu's old troops to develop Central and Western Asia.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted Zhu Xi to marry Wang Baobao's sister.Before the Ming army and Wang Baobao fought hand-to-hand, Wang Baobao was frustrated and had to retreat, but he left behind many women and children, and his youngest sister was among the captured people.This is not an ordinary younger sister, but Wang Baobao's sister from the same mother. This relationship is relatively close, otherwise, Wang Baobao wouldn't be able to bring her by his side.It's just that this is not a martial arts novel, even if that Zhao Min is really that, Shu Yun would not do it!For a person like Wang Baobao, no matter what his sister thinks, she will not be the kind of person who disregards the hatred of the family and the country for the sake of love between men and women.
If Wang Baobao surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing to say, just marry him, but the problem is that Wang Baobao is still on the front line of fighting against the Ming Dynasty. Under such circumstances, it is conceivable what his sister's position is. Got it!And marrying this one, not only will Zhu Xi not get help from his wife's family, but even drag him down!
But Zhu Yuanzhang also had his own reasons. Jin Yiwei, who went to the grassland to inquire about the news, had sent back news that Wang Baobao had a serious health problem.This is also unavoidable. Wang Baobao has been fighting for so many years. He has lost more than he won, and he has to face the strife within the Northern Yuan court. He is physically and mentally exhausted. If he can have a chance to take a good rest, it will be able to alleviate it, but the current situation The problem is that there are not many people who are serious enough to fight in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and there are still people inside who want to use the power of the Ming army to consume Wang Baobao's strength. Wang Baobao has a large fief on the grassland, and the grassland is fertile. , I don’t know how many people are greedy.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very greedy. Wang Baobao's fief was very important. He had already made preparations. As soon as Wang Baobao died, he would directly seize Wang Baobao's fief as his son and daughter's in-laws, and then use it as a base to sweep across the grassland.
In addition, after becoming an emperor, it is no longer possible to act according to pure love and hatred!It is beneficial to keep the rotten Mongols on the grassland. Of course, the premise is to subdue them first. If possible, Zhu Yuanzhang is even willing to canonize Zhu Xing as the Mongolian king and let him rule Mongolia.
Zhu Yuanzhang explained his plan to Shu Yun carefully, and Shu Yun fell silent immediately.Everyone thinks it is a good thing to be born in the emperor's family, but in fact, it is indeed all kinds of involuntary things.Shu Yun sighed, and said, "What about Duke Wei's family?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also showed an embarrassing look: "Well, how about marrying the girl from the Deng family to the third child?"
Shu Yun almost laughed out of breath, even if the marriage failed in the end, it couldn't be like this!
It has been several years since the founding of the country, because middle-aged men suffered heavy casualties in the war, and the ratio of men to women was seriously unequal. In many places, women have to come forward to support their families.The workshops created by Shu Yun are generally simple handicraft workshops. Women are more careful and dexterous than men, so they have always only recruited women.
Under such circumstances, even though it seems that the social economy has regained its vitality in the past few years, it is already a general trend for women to go out to work, and it is impossible to turn back!Everyone knows how to settle accounts. In a family, if there is one less person, a large income will be lost. Compared with the money these women earn from working, housework and the like are nothing at all!If you don't let the female relatives of your family show their faces, then you will have to suffer from poverty!
Except for a very small number of people, otherwise, no one would want to go back to the era when only the males in the family were digging food in the fields, and it was rare to have enough food and clothing all year round.The busy season of farming is so long every year. During the slack season, if you want to earn more money, you can't always stay at home, and you need to earn some money.Either go out to do part-time work, or just do some handicraft work.But under normal circumstances, these are actually not earning much money, because the demand is not great.In the past, except for some projects organized by the government, there were very few places that required too much labor, such as some places that required labor all year round, and these generally had fixed manpower.
To put it bluntly, this is the case in the era of the small peasant economy. Everyone has no money, and everyone is reluctant to spend. Naturally, there are not so many jobs. This is a vicious circle.
The situation is different now. It is easy to go from thrifty to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.In a family, women are no longer trapped by housework and other things that do not produce direct economic benefits. They can directly participate in labor and get paid, which is not even lower than that of men. Some handy women earn more money than just A man who knows how to sell his strength and has no skills is much better!
Under such circumstances, it would be inappropriate to say that women are humble and weak!These days, whoever controls the productivity and means of production has the right to speak!For example, in those places in the south of the Yangtze River, women who can embroider and weave have a great say at home, but there are only a few who can master these skills. Now, after a little training, as long as they are not too dull, these women Women are soon skilled laborers.
In short, no matter how much you earn, the money a woman earns has become an indispensable part of a family. Then, the social status of women will naturally be improved. As for the defense of men and women, there is not much Pay attention.
Shu Yun didn't want the princes and princesses to become the kind of people who grew up in the palace and didn't know the sufferings of the people, so when they reached a certain age, they could take people out of the palace. Of course, there were no special circumstances, and they couldn't spend the night outside. up.
The princes and princesses often show their faces outside, and the children of honorable families are naturally similar, but those civil servants have stricter family education. Up to now, they still abide by the original rules and do not allow their female relatives to go out at will. After all, they are like this The family is not to the point where they need their own female relatives to come forward to make money.Therefore, the children in the palace and those honorable children naturally became familiar with each other.
The reason why Shu Yun chose Deng Yu's daughter to be Zhu Xi's future princess is also because they have known each other for a long time and have developed some affection for each other.If it is out of political considerations to separate them and marry each other, it will be nothing more than a thought in the future. However, if the daughter of the Deng family is used as compensation and made the princess of Zhu Yan, it is a big deal. Think things are not lively enough?For no reason, suspicions arose between the two brothers.
Zhu Yuanzhang soon came up with another crooked idea, saying that he could let the Deng family girl be the second concubine.
Shu Yun almost lost his temper. Why is the second concubine not the second concubine? Let the founding father's daughter be the concubine. Is this a marriage or an enmity!
Shu Yun waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, she might not be willing to be this princess, Guorui, don't be so popular as your own son! But, with Qi'er's temperament, you have to persuade him first." He can do it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows and said: "This important marriage matter requires the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker! He is a child from a family, what can he think! Wang Baobao is also a prince in Mengyuan, and his sister-in-law is also a prince. He can't make it if he is wronged!"
Shu Yun really wanted to roll her eyes, getting married is one thing, but what happens after marriage is another matter!You have facilitated this marriage in order to facilitate the annexation of the grassland by Zhu Xi or his descendants in the future. In this case, the relationship between the two of them is still very important.If these two become resentful couples, and the other party refuses to cooperate later, it will really be twice the result with half the effort!
What's more, in any case, the wife is the one who will live with Zhu Xi for the rest of his life. If there is always disharmony between the two, Zhu Xi will not be at ease in this life.
Therefore, Shu Yun said directly: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. I won't bother you with such trivial matters. I'll just talk to Xi'er later!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed. Shu Yun seldom called him His Majesty. Obviously, she was a little upset when she said that. Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, as expected, she was still a woman, and she was thinking about love and love. In fact, Why should a man suffer from having no wife? In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, if Zhu Yu becomes the king of Mongolia in the future, even if the Wang family is not in his favor, so what if he chooses beauties widely?
So, that's why until today, it is still impossible for Shu Yun to fall in love with Zhu Yuanzhang, this guy is a straight man with cancer!Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have so much time to spend on comforting his son. He handed over the matter to Shu Yun with great confidence, and then he was busy dealing with the government affairs.After so many years, Shu Yun has taken care of everything properly, eliminating Zhu Yuanzhang's worries.Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies can be implemented smoothly, but there is actually Shu Yun's shadow behind them.As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left, Shu Yun thought about it and called Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi is almost the tallest and strongest of Shu Yun's three sons, and although he is not born with supernatural power, he still has some strength, and he also has some talents in the art of war.This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang chose Zhu Yu to marry Wang Baobao's sister. On the one hand, the two are about the same age. If Zhu Yuanzhang were to choose, Zhu Yu would be a few years younger than Wang. On the other hand, Zhu Xi is indeed a militant, and asking him to manage the grassland is considered to be the right person, and it will definitely satisfy Zhu Xi's militant heart.As for Zhu Bing, this guy actually has no ambitions for power. He actually prefers money, or in other words, management.Back when he was old, Shu Yun planned to set up a farm for him to practice, but he directly asked for a shop. Although it didn't make a lot of money, it made a good profit.
Zhu Xi soon came over. He was still outside for a horse race before, but now he came in sweating profusely. He saluted Shu Yun first, and then asked, "Mother, what do you want from me?"
Shu Yun looked at Zhu Yu's appearance, first asked the palace servants to come over with a basin of handkerchief to let him wipe his face, and when he sat down and started drinking tea, he said: "What else can you do, your elder brother will immediately You're about to get married, and you're only one year younger than your elder brother, so it's time to get engaged!"
Zhu Xi scratched his head, that's right, almost all the people of the same age he knew were engaged, and some of them were already married, for example, Zhu Biao hadn't married at this time, so it was relatively late!
However, Zhu Xi's idea was quite strange. He slapped his thigh and asked enthusiastically: "After I get married, will I be able to go to the battlefield?"
Zhu Yu has long wanted to follow the army to kill people, but unfortunately, he is still young, unless Zhu Yuanzhang personally recruits, otherwise, who would dare to take him out into battle, isn't it just making himself feel uncomfortable? There are three long and two short, no amount of credit is enough!Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang promised him before, when he gets married, he will be considered an adult, and when the time comes, he will be directly crowned, and he can go to see the world!
Hearing Zhu Xi's words, Shu Yun felt a little dizzy. The co-author wanted to get married because he wanted to go out to fight. In this way, it didn't make much difference to him who the object of the big marriage was.
However, Shu Yun still said: "That's what your father promised you, so of course it won't go unnoticed! But, why don't you ask who you are engaged to?"
"Isn't it Jiaojiao?" Zhu Xi showed a puzzled look. Jiaojiao is the maiden name of Deng Yu's concubine's daughter. I always thought that Deng Jiaojiao would be my princess in the future.Of course, at present, the relationship between them is nothing more than childhood sweethearts. If there is any real love, it is probably a lie. Putting Deng Jiaojiao aside, Shu Yun has not seen her a few times, so I don’t know if she is a real person. What kind of idea, but Zhu Xi, that is really a heartless guy.
However, seeing Zhu Xi's expression, Shu Yun still felt a little regretful, but she still shook her head and said, "It's not Jiaojiao!"
Zhu Xi suddenly became a little at a loss, he licked his lips, calmed down quickly, and asked, "Who is that?"
Shu Yun didn't mince words with him, and said directly: "It's Wang Baobao's younger sister, and her Chinese name is Wang Mingzhu!"
Although Zhu Xi is regarded by most people as a man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, in fact, he is not stupid, or in other words, it is just a mask.
Shu Yun always used history as a guide to teach his sons. Moreover, very early on, Zhu Yuanzhang and Shu Yun told their brothers about their arrangements for these princes. This world of flamboyance, but, correspondingly, they can be counted as wealthy for only three or five generations. If the descendants have no chance, apart from bearing the name of a clan, they are worthless!
The other way is, like their father, lead a large army and create their own world. They can open up their own kingdom and inherit it from generation to generation according to their own ideas. As long as they don't turn around and attack Daming, then No matter how they toss, Da Ming will not intervene. Da Ming is only the suzerain in name and will not interfere in their internal affairs.Even, according to Shu Yun, if they can establish a country no less than that of Daming in the future, it will be nothing to upgrade to a brotherly and friendly country.
A good man doesn't want to be separated from his family. Compared with being a conservative king, it sounds better to be a pioneer!As for competing with Zhu Biao for the crown prince, Zhu Xi had actually thought about it, but later he realized that it was completely impractical.First, Zhu Biao himself is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He looks like a good old man, but in fact, Zhu Biao has a deep chest and unusual wrists.The second is that Zhu Yuanzhang and Shu Yun's test is not so easy. If their brothers fight against the wall, Zhu Yuanzhang can pick up a stick and break their legs later!
Therefore, Zhu Yu had already thought about it a long time ago. When he became an adult, he would first go to the army to practice for two years. After gaining experience, he could prepare to take people out to enclose land.Now, when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to let him marry Wang Baobao's younger sister, Zhu Xi quickly reacted: "Father is going to let me open up the grassland?"
Shu Yun nodded approvingly, and said, "That's right!" Shu Yun thought for a while, and simply asked someone to take a pen and paper, and roughly drew a map, which was the map from the Central Plains to the north, all the way to the Arctic Ocean. Then he said: "This is Mongolia as we know it, and here is Mobei, and further north, it is the so-called Beihai! Back then Su Wu was herding sheep, it should be here! It is extremely cold here. Every winter, there are cold waves coming from here. From the North Sea, all the way to the south! It can be said that from Mobei to the north, production activities can only be carried out for half a year in a year, and you must hide in a sheltered place to avoid the cold in the other half of the year. If you go out carelessly, you are likely to freeze die!"
Shu Yun raised his head and looked at Zhu Xi, but saw that his eyes were shining brightly. It's no wonder that these places combined, in terms of area, are bigger than the current Daming. If Zhu Xi can really lay down such a large Then, he could really become a country of brothers with Daming, and sit on an equal footing, so Zhu Yu almost immediately cheered up, and looked at Shu Yun with bright eyes.
Shu Yun really wanted to roll his eyes, but this boy saw that the place was too big. Didn't he see that this kind of place is not very suitable for human survival?Even after hundreds of years, the population in places like Siberia is so sparse that it makes people cry!
But since Zhu Xi has become interested in this place, Shu Yun doesn't plan to waste his time talking, and when he hits a wall when he turns around, he will naturally know not to aim too high!
Shu Yun didn't talk about any feelings with Zhu Xi, and said directly: "So, now you can choose! I know you and Jiao Jiao have known each other since childhood, I'm afraid you can't let her go, if you want Jiao Jiao to be your concubine, Then I will persuade your father in the future to let Min'er marry Wang. Although she is a bit older, she is a third-year female junior and holds a gold brick, so there is nothing to say! But if you choose Wang, then you will be married in the future. You have to treat people well, don't act like you've been wronged when you get a bargain!"
Without waiting for Zhu Xi to speak, Shu Yun said directly: "As for making Jiao Jiao the second concubine and side concubine, don't even mention it!"
Zhu Xi is also a very decisive person, nodded immediately, and said: "Mother, I have made up my mind, I will marry Wang, and I will treat her well! As for Jiaojiao..." Zhu Xi suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Shu Yun sighed, and said: "Don't worry, Jiao Jiao is a good child, while she is still ignorant, just settle the matter!" For girls, it may not be a good thing.These girls were raised arrogantly at home, and most of them had the temperament of little peppers. After marrying into the royal family, they had to face troubles such as side concubines and concubines, so I couldn't say anything more.If you marry into an ordinary family and feel upset, you can fight with your husband, but if you marry into a royal family, you can only endure it!
However, this is Shu Yun's own thoughts, and she can't use her own heart to judge other people. Who knows what Deng Jiaojiao is thinking?One of the most absurd remarks in this world is "I'm doing it for your own good!" In fact, everything is my own selfishness.
Shu Yun has never been a saint, she naturally has selfishness, she wants her child to be good, of course, there is a premise for this, that is, try not to hurt others as much as possible.
Shu Yun didn't know what the little girl Deng Jiaojiao was thinking about. If this girl had a heart for Zhu Xi and now broke a girl's first love, it would inevitably make Shu Yun feel a little guilty, but how to make up for it is another question!
Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is very simple, for a little girl, it is the most affordable to reward her with more fabrics and a title of knighthood!In the future, if the little girl has a heart to belong to, and he directly bestows the marriage in person, wouldn't it be all about face?
Zhu Yuanzhang should have gotten angry with Deng Yu, and Deng Yu also felt a headache. He had really acquiesced to let Zhu Yu be his son-in-law before. Was Wang Baobao's younger sister taken prisoner?But things have come to this point, his daughter's marriage is obviously not as important as the planning of the grassland, Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to let his son marry a Mongolian woman as his concubine. Nothing good came out.
After pondering for a while, Deng Yu decided to ask his daughter what was on his mind first, and then he got a very unexpected answer.
"Father, you said Second Highness, he is very nice!" Deng Jiaojiao ate a mouthful of candied fruit, and then said casually, "Father, why are you asking this! You won't listen to other people's nonsense, saying that we are a couple!"
Deng Jiaojiao widened her glasses, and seeing Deng Yu's stunned expression, she immediately became anxious: "Father, the Second Highness has a temper, and being a brother is good, but my daughter likes the kind, um, the kind that is more gentle!" Here, Deng Jiaojiao is getting a little nervous!
Although Deng Yu had some objections to his daughter's views on mate selection, it still made him heave a long sigh of relief. If Deng Jiaojiao really liked the kind of gentle and elegant scholar, then it's no wonder that Zhu Xi was only equivalent to Deng Jiaojiao. An image of a brother next door who made her feel more secure!Zhu Xi was tall and burly, and although his appearance did not look vicious, it was not considered gentle and delicate, but rather a tougher appearance.In the end, it seemed that Zhu Xi was being sentimental!
In any case, this matter was settled, and except for Zhu Xi who felt a little lost, everyone else felt pretty good!
As for Shu Yun, he finally met Wang Mingzhu who was about to become his second son's wife.
Wang Mingzhu is a Chinese name, and her Mongolian name is Gegentana, which means Mingzhu.She was actually a posthumous child. When she was born, her father had passed away, and she followed Wang Baobao to her uncle, Chahan Timur. To Wang Baobao, she was not so much a younger sister, but a daughter in fact.This is why Zhu Yuanzhang values Wang Mingzhu's identity.
Seeing that their brothers and sisters all have Chinese names, one can tell that their branch is actually very Chinese. When Wang Mingzhu came to see Shu Yun, she was wearing a skirt, just like a Han girl.
Wang Mingzhu looked a little nervous, but this is inevitable, she is actually still a prisoner in name!In fact, she was a little confused. When Wang Mingzhu was born, Yuan Ting was already in a precarious situation. As the pillars of the family, her uncle and elder brother were almost non-stop in suppressing rebellion and fighting. Later, Chahan Timur was killed by his subordinates. Betrayed and assassinated, Wang Baobao, who was not yet 20 years old, had no choice but to stand up as an adopted son and take over Chahan Timur's army to avenge his uncle and adoptive father!
At that time, Wang Mingzhu began to run around with Wang Baobao's army. In a sense, it could be regarded as a homeless.After being captured by the Ming army, Wang Mingzhu even felt relieved deep in her heart, and finally this life with no end in sight and no future in sight was coming to an end.
When she came to see Shu Yun, someone had already told her that she would be married to a prince, or the empress' son.For this, Wang Mingzhu was very surprised. After she was captured, she was actually ready to become a hostage. She knew about Zhu Yuanzhang's several letters to recruit Wang Baobao, so she was not worried about her life. Worrying, but she had prepared before that she might become the emperor's concubine of the Ming Dynasty, how could she know that she was actually married to the prince of the Ming Dynasty now?
Wang Mingzhu had long been prepared to marry her brother and her own family. In the past, if she hadn't been young at that time, she would have become the queen of Emperor Xuanguang, because Emperor Xuanguang needed Wang Baobao's support.
Now, although her marriage has a taste similar to that of a close relative, although Wang Mingzhu has doubts about the future, she quickly accepts the fact that no matter what, marrying a person of the same age as a regular wife is much more free than being a concubine to the emperor .
When they met for the first time, Shu Yun just had some casual conversations with Wang Mingzhu. In fact, they just exchanged some homely words, such as what Wang Mingzhu likes to do when she is at home, whether she likes riding horses and hunting, etc. Wang Mingzhu also thought about her answers. She is very fluent in Chinese. She was a little nervous at the beginning, but then she relaxed a little, and she looked like a little girl.
The communication between Shu Yun and Wang Mingzhu was quite pleasant, and nothing else. Wang Mingzhu is not a girl who likes to be stubborn. On the contrary, she should have a tougher personality, which is very good.However, the problem now is Wang Mingzhu's position.If she married Zhu Xi and still stood in Wang Baobao's position, it would be more difficult.
"How about the girl?" Zhu Yuanzhang came over that night, saw Shu Yun sitting in front of the mirror combing his hair, took the comb, and helped Shu Yun comb his hair, asking.Shu Yun's hair is of very good quality, even if he doesn't use any hair oil, he can comb it to the end and it is extremely smooth.
While enjoying Zhu Yuanzhang's rare hospitality, Shu Yun said, "It looks okay now, but it's useless if we look at it, let them stay alone! Is there a letter from Wang Baobao?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his comb, sat down next to Shu Yun, shook his head, and said, "If he lowers his head so easily, he won't be Wang Baobao!" That's what he said, but Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a good mood, He reconfirmed Wang Baobao's physical condition, thinking about the previous plan, and now he can prepare.
Wang Baobao seems to have a high position and power in Beiyuan now, but he is actually in danger. Wang Baobao actually wants to find a way out, but with his current status, it is impossible to surrender to Daming. With his current physical condition, why bother to make a fuss? What about the late festival?
However, in the process of contacting Wang Baobao's men, the Jin Yiwei sent by Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that these people already wanted to contact Daming.
This is also a normal thing. The tribes on the grassland have always had no so-called loyalty at all. When Wang Baobao is here now, they can barely guarantee their interests. Once something happens to Wang Baobao, their life will be difficult!
In other words, life on the prairie is not easy nowadays. Although the Northern Yuan royal court has conferred official positions one after another, the official positions in the center are now worthless, and the nobles outside don’t take those official positions seriously. , the most important thing is that Wang Ting lacks enough power. Apart from having a name, he has lost the ability to control the outside world.On the contrary, Wang Baobao was quite loyal to Emperor Xuanguang, and this could be regarded as maintaining the dignity of the royal court.However, some people think that Wang Baobao wants to learn from Cao Cao and coerce the emperor to command the princes, and they are quite hostile to Wang Baobao.Once Wang Baobao dies, those nobles are afraid that they will directly counterattack.
As for Daming, the terms of the promise are also very good. As long as they are willing to surrender, they will be able to enclose and get a large pasture near the Hetao. Of course, they have to pay a certain price, for example, to help Daming Raid the grassland.
The object of these people's loyalty is Wang Baobao. If Wang Baobao dies, they will naturally have to think about their own future.
Although the Mongols have already withdrawn from the Central Plains, they can still learn about the changes in the Central Plains from some smugglers and others. After they withdrew from the Central Plains, the Central Plains has changed with each passing day. When they were still in the Central Plains, it was not easy to get good things. Now these are said to be very common in the Central Plains!
This also made these Mongols doubt themselves. Probably they are really not suitable for ruling the Central Plains. You must know that in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the economy was already very depressed because of the cruel methods against the Han people. Of course, the Mongols searched for many treasures , but many things cannot be easily found from other people's warehouses. After they destroyed the production, many things are not easy to get!
As for the Han people, how long has it been since they regained the Central Plains? Not only has the Central Plains begun to recover, but it has also taken on new tricks. How can this not make them feel frustrated or even fearful?
In short, many of Wang Baobao's subordinates began to waver, and Wang Baobao himself had to consider leaving a way out for his confidants and his descendants.It is impossible to return to the Beiyuan royal court. The royal court is too busy to take care of them, and it is impossible to protect them. As for self-reliance, let alone, Wang Baobao counted his subordinates, and none of them can be alone. They lack strategy vision.
After thinking about it, the more reliable one is Daming!Only then did Daming send a letter, expressing that he would let their second prince marry his younger sister, so Wang Baobao simply gave his younger sister the most fertile pasture under his name as a dowry.Anyway, once I die, there will be no way to keep this place, so it is better to give Daming an excuse.In addition, he directly selected a group of people and decided to let them be Wang Mingzhu's dowry. Some of these people were Wang Baobao's personal guards, some herdsmen, and some Han Chinese captured in previous battles. He simply took this opportunity to send them back. , ease the relationship!
After Wang Baobao made his decision, a huge dowry team set off from the grassland, which naturally aroused a lot of discussion along the way. There were already people jumping on the side of the Beiyuan royal court, expressing that they would punish Wang Baobao, who was a rebel. up!On Daming's side, those who don't know are also very confused. Among those who know, some feel that the Han people and the Mongols have a deep hatred and shouldn't just reconcile like this, while the other part feels quite proud. It was the Central Plains who used its own princess to make marriages with foreigners, but now it is the powerful prince among the Mongols who uses his own sister to make marriages. This really satisfied the national pride of many people.
And Zhu Yuanzhang is also very satisfied with Wang Baobao's statement, which is a good start.Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang canonized Wang Mingzhu as the owner of Yining County with great fanfare, and Zhu Yu, who had not yet been crowned king, also followed suit and was named King Qin. Immediately afterwards, the decree of marriage came down.
Since Zhu Biao hadn't gotten married yet, it was just that the decree of marriage had come down, and it would take a long time to prepare for a serious marriage. Qin Tianjian had to choose a date, and Wang Mingzhu couldn't live in the post house all the time. You must have a decent place to get married, you know, people still have such a generous dowry anyway, let alone those gold and silver treasures, the most valuable thing is the pasture where Wang Baobao married.
After confirming the location of the pasture on the map, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to turn around and build a city there, using it as a base to conquer the entire grassland!
It can be said that this marriage has met the requirements of almost everyone, except Yuan Ting.
After Yuan Ting knew what Wang Baobao did, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Those Mongolian nobles who originally wanted Wang Baobao to die immediately could only pray that Wang Baobao would continue to persevere.
There is no way, if at the beginning, the Ming army was on par with the Yuan army in terms of weapons and equipment, by now, the Yuan army is clearly at a disadvantage.Just like this, it is the light that the Yuan army has taken advantage of the geographical advantage.
The grassland is too vast, even with the help of a compass, it is difficult to discern the exact direction without a guide.In addition, the Ming army actually had some scruples, mainly because the ecology of the grassland was already very fragile, and they were unwilling to cause too much damage to the grassland!If this is not the case, they will use artillery wantonly to directly attack the Yuan army!The worry is that the use of firearms will cause a grassland fire, and then it will get out of hand.
Qin Tianjian has confirmed that the drought in the north has been repeated year after year, and there are many sandstorms, which are inseparable from the desertification of the grassland. Even if the degree of greening drops to a certain level, it is likely to affect the rainfall, together with the Yellow River and its corresponding conditions. Branches and even groundwater sources will be affected.Therefore, in order to eliminate the Mongols, we can't let the north side also have trouble with it!With this understanding, the Ming army was very restrained. Although it brought artillery, it would not use it wantonly unless it was absolutely necessary.Of course, muskets with relatively mature technology are still used nowadays. Although there is a problem with the aim after a certain distance, it saves a lot of effort compared to bows and arrows!
In short, the Mongolian side, the more they understand the current situation of Ming Dynasty, the more pessimistic they are about the future.
