Chapter 82 A daughter of the Zhu family has grown up
exactly!
It’s not like Zhu Di was cuckolded!
Don’t worry too much!
Besides, it’s hard to say whether Zhu Di will have any hope in the future!
Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously already making plans.
At this time, Zhu Di could say that he had basically resolved the control of Huiningdusi. In fact, after the destruction of Xiyang Ha and Mengge Timur, small tribes in the Songhua River, Wusuli River, and even the Heilongjiang River Basin had been sending envoys continuously.
Go to Huining and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty...
Zhu Di win over them.
When envoys from these small tribes bring some horses and local products, they will be welcomed in Huining and even receive rewards from him.
Of course I would like to go.
Anyway, it's just a matter of paying tribute.
It's impossible for Ming Dynasty to miss their ghost place at 30 to 40 degrees below zero.
Tribes including the Nurgan City area have actually surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Yuanzhang still did not give him an order to return to Peking. Instead, he transferred Fu Youde to Peiping, and he replaced Zhu Di. Fu Youde was from the Jin Dynasty. He and the Jin Dynasty were related, and his daughter was married to the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty, who was also Zhu Yuanzhang's.
The eldest grandson. The relationship between the King of Jin and Zhu Di has never been very good. There have been conflicts before. Now Zhu Yuanzhang has left Zhu Di in Liaodong just to prevent him from returning to Peiping. Instead, he has transferred the big bosses of the King of Jin's family to Peiping to guard. The purpose can be said to have been achieved.
Very clear.
He is deliberately suppressing Zhu Di.
This is normal. After all, the emperor's grandson has been registered, so the vassal kings must be suppressed.
Zhu Di is still unable to return to Peiping, and Zhu Fan is also unable to return to Taiyuan.
Taiyuan is now guarded by Wei Guogong Xu Huizu.
The bosses of the Jin Dynasty guarded Beiping, and the bosses of the Yan Dynasty guarded Taiyuan.
And the two strongest vassal kings were driven out of their lairs...
I can’t go back to my home!
This is to cut off the foundation they have built in the area for more than ten years, and let them stay away for many years. Later, they will be replaced by generals who can suppress all dissatisfaction. They will continue to replace generals at all levels. When they return, they will also face a mess.
Unfamiliar faces.
It is impossible to establish a stable sphere of influence at all.
Of course, there is no ability to rebel.
The only problem with doing this is that it easily affects border defense.
But fortunately this is no longer a problem.
Because Beiyuan has actually been defeated.
If it had not been for the Battle of Jingnan, the Northern Yuan Dynasty would not have had a chance to breathe. Now the Ming army is often invincible when it goes out.
What's more, who is Fu Youde?
To Bei Yuan, he is more terrifying than Zhu Di, okay?
Not to mention Fu Youde, now Beiyuan, even Zhou Xing of this level can beat them as much as he wants. At the beginning of last year, Zhou Xing beat them up. It can be said that the strength gap between the two sides is now so big.
Any second-line general in the army is invincible.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, the most important thing now is to ensure that his grandson takes over smoothly.
Suppress the feudal king.
Support his grandson to gradually learn government affairs.
To give real power to the generals of his grandson's line, not only Lan Yu, but also Chang Sheng was transferred to Xi'an to take charge, plus Cao Zhen, husband of Zhu Biao's nanny, who was guarding Sichuan, it can be said that all the generals of Zhu Biao's line have gained real power.
.
As for Zhu Yunxi’s request...
Right!
The imperial edict was issued the next day.
Zhu Yunxi did not say anything about the little princess abducting Zhang Ying or Yang Feng and Zhang Ying's hookup. It was Zhu Zhi who told him that Zhang Yu was going to marry his daughter to Zhu Di. He felt that the vassal king should not marry the guard general.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still very happy and felt that his grandson had great potential.
I know how to be an emperor.
He indeed ignored this issue.
Of course, the main reason is that he and Zhu Yunxi are fundamentally different. He is not worried about his sons daring to rebel, but Zhu Yunxi has to worry about his uncles!
Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict without hesitation, explicitly prohibiting the marriage between the vassal king and the commanders of the guards, even as concubines. In the past, some such commanders had to be transferred to other guards, and they had to be transferred to the capital where the vassal king was not.
The guards, such as Tiao Yunnan Dusi who was guarded by King Yan, if anyone dares to secretly marry in the future, be careful.
Zhenjiang.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Yang Feng looked at the mighty river ahead with satisfaction.
In his hand was a specially sent copy...
He also has a residence.
This thing is to convey non-confidential memorials and processing results to all yamen in the form of carbon copies. The Daxia Embassy in the Ming Dynasty also had a copy, but later it became a de facto newspaper. During the Wanli period, there was a lot of folk news in the capital.
Workers bribed various yamen or even six departments to copy and sell this.
Later, even confidential military intelligence reports were copied, which made Chongzhen extremely angry.
But this one is from yesterday.
Yang Feng left Nanjing yesterday, and now the embassy officials brought it to him.
"coming!"
Zhang Xianzong said.
Six naval warships are riding the tide from the direction of Beigu Mountain.
This is a naval warship from Dengzhou.
Qi Bin had already reported to the court that Princess Hanshan suddenly took a boat to Dengzhou and asked him to send a boat to take her south to the capital, and he did so.
But his memorial was an ordinary one, not an urgent one. Going south from Dengzhou this season, the sea ship was no slower than the memorial at the inn. After receiving the notice from Zhu Yunxi yesterday morning, Yang Feng immediately got up and came. When he got here, he met
He went to the Jinyiwei sent by the little princess from Jiangyin to the capital to report to him. The latter left Jiangyin the day before yesterday. The little princess was waiting for the high tide in Jiangyin.
"Zhang has always been curious, what do you and Princess Hanshan mean to each other?"
Zhang Xianzong said.
On the deck of the warship at the front, there is a familiar figure holding a telescope...
He has been stepped on.
"What does it mean? She is only thirteen. You beast, what do you think she and I mean? You people's thoughts are too impure. Can't there be pure friendship between men and women?"
Yang Feng said.
Zhang Xianzong was speechless, as if he was the one who committed the most heinous crimes.
Then Yang Feng handed the copy to the adopted daughter, took a box from another adopted daughter, and opened the box to the little princess who was already waving to him, and a dazzling light instantly shot out from inside...
"Is this what you said before, the thing that can drive women all over the world crazy?"
Zhang Xianzong looked at the glass mirror on the lid of the box in astonishment.
"Yes!"
Yang Feng said reservedly.
He had to find a financial backbone for his Liaodong settlement.
Banks can't.
There is a high probability that banks will lose money in the short term.
Moreover, the bank is not so much his, as it is Zhu Yuanzhang's white glove, so as long as it is on the right track, it will definitely be supervised by Zhu Yuanzhang, so it will have to find another financial source, and it must be a financial source that can be said to be hugely profitable. Liaodong Reclamation
In the short term, it is also a bottomless pit of losing money, and funds must be invested continuously. In fact, he is almost running out of funds now.
Recruit those workers, purchase and reserve various materials, and recruit craftsmen to make those machines.
It all costs money.
Although he made a fortune from the Kong family, he spent a lot just to buy his adopted daughter in Liaodong.
He was thinking about whether to go to Qufu again one day.
In short, he needs something that will make a lot of money.
Of course it's a mirror.
This thing is not difficult.
After successfully burning the glass, all that remains is to make flat glass.
The Venetians cut with a blowpipe, but this was too outdated for Yang Feng. He got an iron plate and had someone polish it to a polished surface. Then he poured molten glass on it and used a similarly polished iron rod to put it on while it was hot.
Just grind it.
After grinding, anneal.
As for the back, it wasn't silver-plated. He couldn't find ammonia, so he simply used tin amalgam like the Venetians in history.
He doesn't even need to do this, it's already here.
This is a very ancient craft.
It has been around since the Western Han Dynasty.
In the end, he spent half a month working piecemeal, and in his glass workshop where art works like Wentian were made, he made the first glass mirror of the Ming Dynasty purely by hand. Although the quality could only be said to be so-so,
Moreover, the tin layer on the back is also very weak, so it can only be mounted on wooden boards, but it still has a dimensionality-reducing effect on the bronze mirror at this time.
Bronze mirrors can indeed be polished to an effect comparable to that of glass mirrors.
but……
That’s just comparable!
Besides, how could the mirror grinding compound at this time have the effect of modern polishing paste?
Yang Feng just held his box, and another box he had saved for the little princess. With the lid open to reflect the sunlight, he watched the little princess's boat dock at the dock.
Behind the little princess are Xiaoyu and Zhang Ying, the latter is obviously looking away...
I guess I guessed the truth.
“It’s only been half a year since I last saw you, and you’ve actually grown taller!”
Looking at the little princess who couldn't wait to get off the boat, Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Not only is he taller, but he is also stronger.
It has begun to take shape!
He also didn't expect that a bastard girl would change drastically in less than a year. It was obvious that her brother only ate meat, eggs and milk. Even the white fur on her body couldn't hide the huge change.
"Yang Feng..."
The little princess held up her skirt and hurried forward with cheers.
Then Zhang Xianzong moved forward as quickly as possible, stood between them and bowed.
"Zhang Xianzong, a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy, welcomes Princess Hanshan."
he shouted.
The little princess who almost bumped into him was stunned for a moment while holding up her skirt, but then she came to her senses and faced a bunch of confused officials on the pier. She quickly switched state and acted like a princess.
"We've got Bachelor Zhang!"
She said in an unhappy tone.
At the same time, the local military and political officials in Zhenjiang also woke up and saluted their Princess Hanshan one after another.
"The princess has been tired from traveling all the way, and the posthouse has prepared her abode."
Zhang Xianzong said.
The little princess nodded like a lady.
Behind her, Xiaoyu, Zhang Ying, and Dai Gui disembarked with the royal guards and escorting soldiers. Zhang Xianzong didn't say anything. He stood up and winked at the local officials behind him. The latter very sensible and quickly took the princess to the post station.
The people around were chatting and looking at their princess, but they didn’t find much abnormality. After all, she was young and it was normal for her to be more lively. Yang Feng followed with the box in his arms and entered the dock.
The inn not far away.
The little princess was invited to a room specially decorated for her.
"Princess, you are tired from the journey and don't want to see anyone else. Please go back."
Zhang Xianzong came out and said to the local officials.
The latter resigned one after another.
It was necessary for them to welcome her, but it was just a formality. After all, she was just a thirteen-year-old princess with nothing more than her identity. They didn't even need real flattery.
After all the officials left, Dai Gui closed the door. The little princess couldn't wait to push the door open and rushed out, grabbing the box directly from Yang Feng's hand...
"ah……"
she exclaimed excitedly.
Then he lay down in the mirror and looked at his face.
"Keep your voice down, people will hear you and think you are going to be rude to the princess!"
Yang Feng said.
"Humph, have you finished the task assigned to you?"
The little princess said while holding the box.
Yang Feng took the document and held it up in front of her.
"Sister Zhang, you don't have to worry now."
The little princess said with satisfaction.
Yang Feng put on a sunny smile and turned the copy in her hand to Zhang Ying. The latter looked at it with a blushing face, then lowered her head and bowed slightly. It was obvious that she did not want to marry Zhu Di. After all, Zhu Di was already in his thirties at this time.
According to the standards at this time, he was already considered an old man. Moreover, he was only a concubine, and Zhu Di was more than just a concubine. What good was it to compete with a group of women for an old man, not to mention that being a concubine at this time would be in danger of being buried.
This is not a good choice.
luxurious?
It is impossible for someone with her status to live without wealth and glory!
There is no need to risk burial!
"You, come in with me!"
The little princess said to Yang Feng.
Then she walked into the room happily holding the box.
Yang Feng quickly followed in.
"close the door!"
said the little princess.
Xiaoyu closed the door outside.
Yang Feng looked at the little princess in confusion. The latter put the box aside, walked up to him, and motioned for him to lower his head. Yang Feng lowered his head slightly, and the little princess lay beside his ear...
"The fourth brother's Alu Timur and Nai'er Buhua want to escape."
she whispered.
"Escape? Where are they going?"
"Grassland, they and their Mongolians complained that the court's laws were becoming more and more severe. In the past, they followed Fourth Brother in Peiping. At least they were quite happy, so they tolerated the harsh laws. But now Fourth Brother leads them in Liaodong all year round.
, and often go to places like Huining, which is no different from them in Mobei. Moreover, the fourth brother said that he was visiting Huining, but in fact it was no different from being exiled. Liaodong still belongs to my brother. They said that the fourth brother was abandoned by his father and followed him.
The fourth brother also has no future.
After all, it’s better to go back to the grassland, where they can be at ease.”
"How did you know?"
"Zhang Ying knows what they say, and I follow him now when I have nothing to do. Now I know about 70%, and I often go out to play around. Sometimes I go to their camp and listen to what they say privately. They think I don't understand what they say.
And I'm still a child, so they don't avoid me much. They are still hoarding some things to take away, such as iron tools, arrowheads, cotton, etc. that they don't know how to make.
When they have hoarded enough, they will run away together."
said the little princess.
"Then why didn't you tell your brother?"
Yang Feng said.
"This is merit. He is already the vassal king, and he can't get much reward. Let's tell my father, can't we get a heavy reward?"
The little princess said proudly.
Yang Feng reached out and touched her head with emotion...
