Chapter 288 Enter the customs, enter the customs!

"I'm guilty, I'm sorry for Lao Zhu, it's because I can't understand his good intentions.

I should have let him continue killing."

Yang Feng confessed to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still frozen, with a heavy face.

So Lao Zhu is right.

His purge of heroes ensured that even during the Great War between the North and the South during the Jing Dynasty, there was no situation where people with different surnames took the opportunity to replace them, and there was not even a situation of separatist localities during this period. The chaos that Zhu Yunxi is facing now is essentially the result of someone wanting to

Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Zhu family to realize his ambition...

Well, I'm not talking about himself.

Are the generals under Lan Yu really afraid of accidentally injuring any vassal king?

uncertain.

They just want the war to continue and for the Zhu family's imperial power to continue to weaken during the war.

It is true that they do not necessarily want to replace or separate one party, but in a country in war, military generals can undoubtedly gain maximum power. Once it enters a peaceful era, the power of military generals will definitely be suppressed.

The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked!

Lao Zhu didn't need his old brothers any more, so he immediately found excuses to kill them one by one.

But what about the state of war?

Lao Zhu has to continue to show his brotherhood with his old brothers.

In peacetime, civilian officials held power. In his later period, Lao Zhu was paving the way for a civilian government. Don't those generals understand? Although Zhu Yunxi's reforms touched the interests of Confucian scholars, they essentially established a civilian government, but it was not for Confucian students, but he also

It is impossible to give military commanders too much power. Military commanders are the pillars of the court and the pillars of the country only in a state of war. Peace, especially absolute peace when almost all threats around them have been eliminated like the Ming Dynasty, is what military commanders do not want to see.

. So this civil strife is very important to the generals. They will not let the civil strife end quickly, and may even deliberately promote it to become long-term.

And use this to seek separatism.

Through this war, the Mu family almost eliminated King Min's power.

Zhu Yuanzhang transferred King Min to Yunnan to prevent the Mu family from dominating Yunnan. The Mu family had been ostracizing them in various ways ever since King Min passed by.

Completely solved now.

Even after the war, King Min would never want to return to Yunnan again.

After all, the guards were all swallowed up by Mu Sheng.

Wang Bi has actually formed a separatist regime. Although he is guarded by his son-in-law, if the war continues for a long time, he will basically be equivalent to King Annan in Annan. Even if his son-in-law returns, he will have to listen to him in the future.

The He family in Guangzhou is also in a state of separatism. Although the He Rong brothers were originally killed in the Lan Yu case, his uncle He Di rebelled and was subsequently solved by the Ming army in Guangzhou. But this time, relying on the lure of overseas trade, the Guangdong Ming army actually

Together with the He family, the latter controlled the trade to Southeast Asia, and all the generals in Guangdong followed suit to collect shares. The joint-stock system of Yang Feng's Shanxi Wood Rail Company has been very successful, and the wooden rails were supposed to be able to reach Datong this year.

This model can be applied completely. In fact, this is what Ma He recommended to the Fujian and Guangdong gentry. He told the Fujian and Guangdong gentry that there was plenty of gold overseas, and then told them that the emperor wanted to monopolize overseas trade. Do you want to take this opportunity to force the emperor to let go?

Lift the sea ban, form a joint-stock company together and go out to make a fortune, or are you willing to wait for the emperor to win, and then he can monopolize these, and you can only watch from the sidelines?

Of course they choose the former.

What is the purpose of Zhou Dexing and Geng Bingwen remaining stationary in the north and not attacking Peiping?

Awaiting price!

Now they are important!

Before, they were just two people waiting to retire. Now that Zhou Dexing has even restored his title, if the fight continues, Zhu Yunxi may have no choice but to promote him to a duke.

Is it really impossible for Xu Huizu to deal with Qin Fan’s guards in Shaanxi?

Why should he solve it?

Now that he has taken charge of the military and political affairs of Shaanxi, he is the former King of Qin. Even Chang Sheng does not have as much power as he does now. The main reason is to maintain vigilance against the guards of the vassal kings in Longyou. Zhu Yunxi must give him enough power. If it really needs to be solved

If the Qin Fan guards were eliminated, Zhu Yunxi would ask him to immediately lead his army westward to Longyou, and then the military power of Shaanxi would be handed over to the local officials. Then why would he get rid of the Qin Fan guards?

This is just the beginning.

If this war continues, or even lasts for three to five years, then these generals with different surnames will really turn the Ming Dynasty into a new round of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang's purge of heroes that prevented local separatism in the Ming Dynasty during the original period of peace in history. Even though the Zhu family had brainwashed themselves, it did not allow other surnames to take the opportunity to rise, and the Ming Dynasty did not start a new round of continuous chaos. When Zhu Di

After entering the capital, everything quickly settled down. Everyone changed their reign names and continued to do what they should do in a unified empire. But now because of the appearance of Yang Feng, Lao Zhu did not kill those he killed later, such as Wang Bi.

, such as How Rong, there are even a bunch of Zhou Dexing, Cao Xing, Cao Zhen, Sun Ke, Zhang Yi, etc. plus Lan Yu. Once Zhu Yuanzhang died, it was impossible for these veteran generals who were originally suppressed by him to really surrender to his grandson.

, after all, we are all fighting for the world together, especially people like Zhou Dexing, who doesn’t know who the other is?

It’s not really destiny for the Zhu family to be the emperor. He is just a beggar. If he can rule the world, why can’t others?

Even if you can't be the emperor, you can still get a piece of it, right?

No one dared to live with him alive.

The Zhu family is united as one, and no one really dares to do so.

But now the Zhu family has started fighting on their own, so why don’t everyone dare? Who doesn’t want to take a piece of the colorful world of the Ming Dynasty? Lan Yu really doesn’t want to be a powerful minister? Xu Huizu really doesn’t want to separate one party? Who doesn’t want to be in the face of power? Place

The gentry dared to resist the imperial power, so why did they think they were unruly generals?

"That's true. If you hadn't appeared, the Zhu family would have rotted in the pot no matter how hard they beat it. It's hard to say how many people are worried about this meat now. It should end as soon as possible. If it drags on any longer, the world will be in chaos.

The little princess said that Lan Yu has been very dissatisfied with the civil servants of the DPRK and China recently.

He wanted the emperor to declare a rebellion among the kings.

But the emperor always disagreed, so he thought it was those civil servants who were deceiving him, especially the Minister of War, Ru Yu, and the Minister of Household, Yu Xin. Some of his subordinates were already trying to push him to return to the army. But it shouldn't be that simple. They and other generals

He wanted to use this to show his power over the civil servants and let the civil servants understand that it was the military commanders who had the final say in the court. In fact, Lan Yu himself regarded himself as the emperor's elder and had repeatedly pointed out the government affairs, although he was actually because the civil servants did not allow the emperor to declare the vassal king.

In addition, the Ministry of Revenue did not give him much control over the supply of military supplies. But he did lack the consciousness of a minister toward the emperor. The emperor still respects him, but if this continues, I am afraid that conflicts will arise between the two of them."

Sister Liu said.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's worry about Lan Yu is not unreasonable.

It is unlikely that this guy will become Yang Jian.

After all, he is different from Yang Jian. Yang Jian is also a hereditary family member after all, and he can only be regarded as a military leader.

However, the possibility of him becoming Obei is extremely high.

Ao Shaobao is absolutely loyal to our Qing Dynasty, and he has no doubts about Brother Ma. Everything he does is indeed to protect our Qing Dynasty. But after all, kings and ministers are different. As a minister, you must have

Only the ministers' awareness will matter. Now Zhu Yunxi can't think about Lan Yu's excessive interference in government affairs, but as time goes by he will eventually be angered, and this may even be the purpose of those civil servants.

These are not good birds either.

They used to live cautiously under the pressure of Old Zhu Wei, but they were all old foxes themselves.

The issue of vassal king is not important.

No matter how troublesome it is, it will eventually be resolved one day, but the struggle between the two groups of civil servants and military generals is eternal.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi wanted to establish a civilian government, but now that the power of military generals has been strengthened again, then at this time the civil servants must find ways to bring down the generals, and the current core of the military generals group is Lan Yu. If Lan Yu and the emperor can be provoked

If there is a conflict, the civil servants can laugh from behind, deliberately irritate Lan Yu, let him dictate the government affairs, and then remind the emperor that Lan Yu is in charge of power, and the emperor is not good-tempered. It would be strange if there is no conflict between the two!

"Damn it, these guys who are all dead should be allowed to follow Lao Zhu."

Yang Feng said.

"Going south?"

Sister Liu said.

"Go south!"

Yang Feng said.

"Entry?"

Sister Liu said.

"Enter the customs!"

Yang Feng said.

Then he turned to look at the green slave.

"Go and prepare my chariot!"

he said.

"Master, do you want to gather some troops?"

the green slave asked.

"No need, I will solve this trivial matter as soon as I show up. They just think that I will die at sea. Everyone is getting braver. I want to see who among them dares to fight me."
