This time the Northern Expedition to Naha will definitely be based on Beiping. Whether it is food and grass, or soldiers from various garrison posts, they must be gathered in Beiping, and then they will enter Tongzhou to wait for the opportunity.
When Han Du's shipment of grain and grass landed at Dagokou, he had to ask Zhu Di to help him.
"Five days ago, the secret letter was rushed to Peiping at a speed of 800 miles. If there are no accidents, it should have arrived in Peiping by now." Zhu Biao answered with a normal expression.
Lao Zhu didn't worry too much about this. He just nodded to express his understanding and said nothing further.
In the past, Lao Zhu might have worried about whether the secret letter would be intercepted. But since he learned Han Du's method of encrypting letters, he no longer worries about it.
With this encryption method, even if someone intercepts the secret letter, the secret will not be leaked at all.
After asking all the questions that should be asked, Lao Zhu waved his hand, signaling Zhu Biao to step back.
But when Zhu Biao saw him, he stood there without moving. Instead, he pursed his lips, as if he had something difficult to say.
"What? Do you have anything else to say?" Lao Zhu raised his eyes and saw Zhu Biao's expression, and asked casually.
When the matter came to an end, Zhu Biao had no choice but to bow down and bow, and then curiously asked: "Father, I have something that I don't understand. I hope my father will clarify my confusion."
"Tell me about it." Lao Zhu said calmly, without any further expression.
"I would like to ask, in the past several northern expeditions, food, grass and weapons were mobilized by water transport. Why did my father agree to use sea transport this time when Han Du mentioned sea transport?" Zhu Biao finished speaking in one breath and raised his eyes to settle.
He definitely values his father.
The transportation of grain, grass and ordnance is not a trivial matter, but a major issue related to the world. Since water transportation has several transportation experience, logically speaking, it will not be easily replaced. After all, grain, grass and ordnance are of great importance.
, once something goes wrong, even the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty will be affected.
Although sea transportation has been verified many times in Nanyang, it is considered reliable. But it is impossible. As soon as Han Du said it, his father directly agreed.
This seems like child's play, unless the father and Han Du have already discussed it.
Lao Zhu seemed to see through Zhu Biao's thoughts, smiled and shook his head slightly: "I have not discussed this with Han Du in advance."
That's even more inappropriate. The doubtful look in Zhu Biao's eyes became even stronger.
"There is no other reason. Just like what Han Du said before, I also think that walking on two legs is better than walking on one leg."
Is it better to walk on two legs than on one? Zhu Biao gradually realized the meaning.
Seeing that Zhu Biao had understood something, Lao Zhu nodded secretly with satisfaction and explained to him straightforwardly: "Water transport is a leg, and sea transport is also a leg. As Han Du said, there are both water transport and sea transport, even if one of them is
As soon as something goes wrong, I can immediately activate another one so that I won't be passive. And if there is only water transportation, once it is deliberately damaged by someone, the harm caused will be too great. At that time, even if I want to save it, I can't.
I will be helpless."
Lao Zhu understands the disadvantages of being passive like no one else. Therefore, ever since he heard Han Du say he wanted to walk on two legs, he would intentionally leave two options open for many things.
Not only water transportation and sea transportation, but also the secret discount system for hundreds of officials proposed by Han Du. When he ordered the ninth-rank officials in the world to go to the secret discount system, Lao Zhu also
They did not give up on transforming Yiluan Sichao Jinyiwei. However, the scale of the transformation was not as large as originally planned, and it was not carried out with great fanfare. Instead, it was promoted slowly in secret.
In this way, not only does it not attract attention, but it also maintains Jin Yiwei's privacy very well.
"You will inherit everything from me in the future. Remember, you must not let yourself fall into passivity unless you have to." Old Zhu looked at Zhu Biao with deep meaning and anxiety.
"I understand." Zhu Biao bowed solemnly.
Lao Zhu smiled and nodded, waved again and said, "You should keep these words in mind, think about them all the time, and then step back."
"My son, please retire."
Zhu Biao bowed and took two steps back, turned around and left Jinshen Hall.
As soon as he stepped out of the Jinshen Palace, after walking a few steps, Zhu Biao recalled his father's instructions.
"Walking on two legs?" I tried taking a few steps, but it felt no different than usual.
"One Leg" just jumped a step, Zhu Biao took etiquette into consideration and did not continue to try. However, he had already made up his mind about which one was better.
Peiping, the former capital of the Yuan Dynasty.
As a former capital, Peiping is naturally very grand. This is true even if it has not been expanded again.
Speaking of Yuan Dadu, we have to mention a strange man who participated in the construction of Yuan Dadu, Guo Shoujing.
Guo Shoujing worked for the Du Shui Supervisor in the Meng Yuan Dynasty. Since the appointment of Guo Shoujing, the Du Shui Supervisor has begun to become mysterious. Some say that the Du Shui Supervisor is the secret service department of the Yuan Dynasty, and some say that the Du Shui Supervisor is in charge of astrology.
Actually, I don’t blame Du Shui Jian, but I blame Guo Shoujing. I heard that this guy is not proficient in astronomy, astrology, and Feng Shui.
Since Guo Shoujing is so hexagonal, it is natural that his participation is indispensable for the construction of Yuan Dynasty, which has such high hopes for generations to come.
It is unknown what Guo Shoujing did in the process of building Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty, but what is known to everyone is that he mainly "irrigated" Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. He dredged the Grand Canal from Tongzhou to Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty and opened up various springs in the city to ensure that
The city's water supply. More importantly, he dredged the Jinshui River and Tonghui River, and then connected the two rivers relying on Taiye Pool, forming a grand moat that completely surrounded the entire Yuan Dynasty.
It can be said that the construction of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty was originally aimed at a complete military fortress. It was guarded by two rivers outside and there were many springs inside. Even if it was besieged by ten times the army, there would be no shortage of water or food.
However, Kublai Khan, who built the capital of the Yuan Dynasty to perfection, would not have thought that in less than a hundred years, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun would lead the Ming army to attack the capital, forcing Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty to flee to the grasslands.
Today, Peiping still has a large population, with nearly 200,000 households. It is not only the largest city in the north, but even in the world, only the capital can slightly surpass it.
Beiping Xiaoqiang, inside the wall is the former imperial city of the former Yuan Dynasty, now renamed Yanwangfu. All the previous halls in Yanwangfu have been preserved, but the only difference from before is that after all, Peiping has the important task of attacking the grassland, so the palace
Almost all the people coming and going are military generals, and the atmosphere is similar to that of a handsome tent.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Di did not choose Taiming Hall, where the former Yuan emperor originally conducted his political affairs, but chose Wang De Hall, a small side hall in the west, as the place where he usually handles affairs of the vassal state. This time he went to Naha in the north.
When going out, it must be based on Peiping. Whether it is food, grass, or soldiers from various guards, they must be gathered in Peiping, and then they can enter Tongzhou to wait for the opportunity.
When Han Du's shipment of grain and grass landed at Dagokou, he had to ask Zhu Di to help him.
