Chapter 276 Spring (1)
"Fourth Uncle! When it comes to the transfer of the vassal state, other uncles and kings will ask me where they will be placed. And to you, I am asking you, where do you want to go?"
The hall was silent, as if only the emperor's voice echoed.
Zhu Di slowly raised his head, met Zhu Yunxi's gaze, and said with a wry smile, "The war in the north is about to begin, and the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan are already red-eyed. As long as you give me some time, when the time comes, I will raise troops to go north. It is impossible to forever be able to stop Hu's troubles, but at least it can ensure the safety of my northern part of Ming Dynasty for thirty years."
As he said that, he lowered his head, "At this time, the emperor wants to move the vassal, and I... I feel unwilling to accept it!"
"I give you the time to bring troops north, and I also give you that right!"
Zhu Yunxi's words made Zhu Di look up suddenly.
At the same time, it also made the silent and solemn civil servants frown in an instant.
No one expected that the emperor would say such a sentence.
"Among the Supreme Emperor, you are the fourth uncle, you are the most like an old man." Zhu Yunxiu said, smiling slightly, "I am talking about leading troops to fight!"
Zhu Di also smiled silently and nodded slightly.
"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Supreme Emperor has launched thirteen Northern Expeditions in the thirty years of his reign, in order to drive the enemy to a place farther and farther away from the country's gates, and to ensure the safety of the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxiu continued, "In the past thirty years, no matter how many ministers advised him, no matter how difficult the national strength was, the Northern Expedition was the top priority! Grandpa once said, "If you take a step back against the enemy, the enemy will make a thousand steps forward. It is easy to retreat, and if you want to move forward, you will have to sacrifice the lives of more people. The best defense is not to build a city or to farm farms, but...attack! Take the initiative first and then take the initiative to suffer!"
"I deeply believe this, so I will never let Nanshan soldiers enter the warehouse just because of the temporary peace!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu stood up and walked slowly to Zhu Di, looking at the other party's eyes, "I am not afraid to tell you the truth. After the nine-sided vassal kings are cut off, I will rectify military affairs, with Liaodong, Daning, Daning, Liaodong, as the flank of the front line, and the East Shengwei of Shanxi as the bridgehead. Starting from the Yalu River in the east and Helan Mountain in the west. The elimination of the garrison's old and young will only leave the essence, and gradually advance with the soldiers of hundreds of battles!"
In the hall, the civil servants didn't think that this was anything. Even those who were slightly familiar with military affairs only believed that this was probably a small-scale adjustment made by the emperor to the Ming border army after the abolition of the border king.
But the generals' eyes lit up.
Especially Zhu Di, he raised his head again.
"It is not until today that I can see clearly the true purpose of his attempt to reduce the vassals. He is not really unable to tolerate all the vassal kings. The endless arguments of the dragon son and the dragon grandson are only one of the reasons for reducing the vassals. His real intention is for war!"
It is precisely because of this that he had to interfere in the inheritance of the title of the Qin vassal and Jin vassals a long time ago, with the consequences of being hostile and rejected by all the vassals.
It is precisely because of this that he wanted to eliminate the Chu vassals and Qi vassals. The Chu vassals had no Shu vassals, and the court added another source of wealth. The Qi vassals had no, and the land of Hebei could ensure the military supplies and population needed by the northern army.
It is precisely because of this that he ignored the raising of Concubine Guo Hui for him and secretly pushed the King of Dai to the pit.
Everything is to integrate the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty!
In an instant, Zhu Di's heart was filled with twists and turns, and countless thoughts came.
Just as Zhu Yunyu said just now, Dongshengwei is a bridgehead.
This Dongsheng Guard has always been in the hands of Jinfan. It is a bridgehead connecting Shanxi and Ningxia Guards, and it has another irreplaceable place for other Guards.
That is, he controls Hetao, the entire Hetao, and the Hetao area where horses are raised!
Four years ago, the Yuan Privy Councilor Timur, led his troops and civilians to surrender and set up the Dongshengwei.
There were not only Han people in the ward station, but also dozens of brave and warlike Hu Qianhu Houses.
The entire Jinfan power completely controls the Datong Guards, the Dongsheng City, the Sanjiang City and the sixteen military towns along the Helan Mountains.
"Good means!" Zhu Di said in his heart, "I thought he was involved in the housework of Qin Fan and Jin Fan, but I thought he was trying to show his rights in the East Palace, but I didn't expect his gaze to be so long!"
With the Jin vassals in hand, the Xuning vassals, the Datong Dynasty King, the Liao vassals, and the Yan vassals himself.
The east starts with the victory, and then to Datong in the east, then to Xuanfu in the east, then to Kaiping in the east. It then reaches Daning in the southeast, then to Liaodong in the east, and then to Yalu River in the east...
This line was originally set by the old man. The strategic purpose is that I cannot defeat the enemy, but the enemy cannot harm me.
Now the emperor has cut off all the vassal kings on this line, and everything in the military, civil and financial affairs, Ma Zheng is directly under the leadership of the central government.
Then his strategic intention is not only the enemy, nor can he harm me, but he wants to go north more than a few thousand miles. The iron cavalry in the north is like a fence of ants, and the strings are controlled by millions of them!
"You can probably guess my good intentions!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at Zhu Di, knowing that the other party must be in a state of uproar at this moment, and continued, "After integrating the border troops to eliminate the dross, there were 400,000 soldiers who could fight. Since ancient times, Hu people have come to the Central Plains to hunt grass valley when they are tall and fat. From now on, I am the Ming Dynasty athlete who goes north to hunt bears!"
Suddenly, Zhu Di felt his throat a little dry.
"If you want to lead troops to fight, you will have a chance in the future!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said.
"But you just asked me to move the vassal...?"
After Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Yunxiu said again, "There is no conflict between moving the vassal and leading the army to fight. I want to abolish your Yan Fan, but I want to use it too, I also want to use it!" As he said, looking at Zhu Di's eyes, smiling, "I know that you are a person who can't stand loneliness, so naturally I can't go back to the capital to be the Xiaoyao Fang Master. And letting you out and attacking those barbarians in the southwest, the cavemen and savages are even more useless!"
"I'm afraid you mean to let me lead troops to fight, keep the title of king, but not give me a fief!" Zhu Di said in his heart.
Zhu Yunyu made this idea. Zhu Di was a flag of the Zhu family in the army. This flag should be kept, and he was a role model, so that more children of the Zhu family were proud to join the army.
Furthermore, if a dignified royal family does not take the honor to kill enemies in the formation, what kind of royal family are they?
He was not given a real title, but his status was raised. In the army, he could check and balance the generals of the border town, and at the same time, the generals of the border town and local officials could also check and balance the uncle who led the troops. He would not form a dominant family, nor would he form a vassal state.
"I know that the fourth uncle is a hero, so I must not want to be burdened by false reputation!" Zhu Yunxiu said with a smile again.
"Hey!" Zhu Gaochi, who had been bowing his head, sighed in his heart, "It's the fuck again!"
"My Zhu family's son is the fourth uncle who can make a move now!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "And you are the oldest among the uncles. I have reduced my vassals to the Ming Dynasty, and I have used you for the Ming Dynasty! I just said that sealing you out is a waste of talent. Putting you in the army is the Dinghai Dinghai Needle at the border of my Ming Dynasty!"
"Isn't your greatest wish in this life that the frontier will be to get through the troubles once and for all? In time, in the Taimiao, in the temple of the Heroes and Martyrs, there will be the position of the Fourth Uncle. When future generations mention you, you will no longer be just a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, but a magnificent king of the Ming Dynasty and a soldier king. What a great achievement!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes gradually lit up.
