In the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, the empire's will began to spread rapidly toward the four regions.
The life and death of the people of Liaodong cannot prevent the empire from moving towards prosperity.
The same is true when a general's achievements are used to support the country.
Even though Tie Xuan has begun to be implicated in his reputation for massacre and has attracted slander from many people, it still cannot change him from becoming the person with the most official titles in the imperial court today.
Nowadays, Tie Xuan has become the highest official in charge of the rear affairs of the entire Northern Expedition Army.
Under Daqing Mountain.
No matter how the war situation develops on the grassland north of the mountain, or because the Ming Dynasty's army is about to overwhelm the entire grassland, countless small tribes continue to move south and gather at the foot of Daqing Mountain.
As long as people arrive here, they will soon forget everything in the north of the mountain.
It seems that from the moment people set foot here, all disputes have nothing to do with them.
Because like bamboo shoots in spring, Daqing City is rising every day, making everyone forget everything they experienced before coming here.
The walls of Daqing City can already block the sight of outsiders.
Seeing that the herdsmen and Ming people under their rule were living in harmony, the City Lord's Mansion spontaneously accelerated the construction of the city and issued a new City Lord's Order.
The city lord's order was naturally issued with the seal of King Shun'an of the Ming Dynasty.
The commands are also very simple.
Daqing City adheres to the emperor's favor and is ordered by the emperor's grandson to exempt Daqing City from taxes for five years after its completion.
The people of Daqingcheng once again unleashed unprecedented construction efforts.
The main roads in the city that obviously only needed to be dug one foot deep were dug two feet deep by these people.
In order to make up for the unbudgeted paving stones, city residents began to spontaneously go to Daqingshan in shifts to quarry stones.
The three rivers outside the city originally only needed to be dug deeper and wider.
But the people of Daqing City felt that since Daqing City was to be built in a square shape, the river outside the city should also be like this.
So the city residents working on the rivers began to rework and vowed to rebuild the three rivers outside Daqing City to be straight and wide before winter.
They even voluntarily formulated construction regulations.
The width and depth of each part of the river channel must be as perfectly unified as possible.
The City Lord's Mansion was aware of this, but did not say anything.
It's just that when the people didn't know it, the slight reduction slowed down the progress of the originally planned project.
The tall buildings in the city are now completely completed.
With new construction technology, craftsmen no longer have to worry about how to maintain the stability of high-rise buildings.
As long as the cement pillars at the core are thick enough and big enough, they can become the backbone of the entire building and remain in place for thousands of years.
Therefore, the craftsmen only need to figure out how to decorate the exterior well.
Just such a change made it a simple matter for Ming craftsmen to build tall buildings.
"I'm still a little worried..."
On the high-rise building that was completely built, Zhu Gaochi muttered something worried and casually threw the three cards in his hand into the pile of discarded cards.
Zhu Yunxi and Abu, who were each looking at their trump cards, looked at each other sideways.
"Three to one!"
Abu's face was full of smiles, feeling that he could finally take another bite of the delicious food cooked by His Highness the Grand Sun today.
However, Zhu Yunxi took down the three cards in his hand.
He turned to look at Xiaopang who had given up his cards early, and said with a chuckle: "What are you worried about? This building has been built, are you still afraid of falling?"
Zhu Gaochi reached out and touched the only core cement pillar he loved in this tall building.
Then he frowned and said worriedly: "This building is strong enough. I tried it myself. But I just always feel that we should go up to such a high place less often next time.
We are not ancients, so we don’t have to worry about being too high to be too cold. You are the grandson of the Ming Dynasty’s emperor, you are already tall enough, and you are not too cold?
You are the great grandson of our Ming Dynasty, a man of great wealth and the foundation of our country.
If a gangster sneaks in and plants a gunpowder bag under the building, we won't even have a chance to escape."
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows: "Let's get to the point."
Zhu Gaochi's face twisted strangely for a few times, and finally hesitantly said: "I'm afraid..."
Zhu Yunxi burst out laughing.
Since I have been with them for a long time, Abu has become more easy-going and less cautious and reserved than in the past. He is also smiling softly from the side.
"Two, three, five, eat you."
Zhu Yunxi's voice reached Abu Zhi'an's ears, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
The smallest fart card trumped the largest card.
Abu, who thought he was a sure winner, lost the smile on his face.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi said again: "It is said that good people don't live long, and bad people live for a thousand years. Now I am not a good person at all, and I am not far away from being a bad person. You and I are together every day, which is the same. Relax,
We have a long life."
Seeing Brother Xi saying this to him, Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly became serious.
Abu, who had no smile on his face at the side, couldn't help but frown.
Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a long time, and then said in deep thought: "The order was given by Tie Xuan, so this matter has nothing to do with you, the emperor's grandson. From the beginning, Tie Xuan was determined to be a lonely minister, and he would just sit back and watch people being slaughtered.
Start making a game.
He entered the situation with his own body, and the Liaodong Jurchens were completely dead, and this cause and effect would only involve him.
This is probably what he was thinking from the beginning of the game. I even think that he started to think this way when he got on the warship to Yingzhou.
The Ming Dynasty still has a lot of things to do in the future, and the country cannot always be benevolent and righteous, so Tie Xuan is the best person to do these things."
Abu glanced left and right several times, and taking the opportunity to clear up the game, he leaned over and whispered: "Some news came from inside the pass. I heard it from the mouths of the people who were transporting grain."
Zhu Gaochi looked over immediately: "What did you say?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Abu paused for a moment and looked at the emperor's grandson above with a vague look.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Go ahead, there's nothing you can't say."
"Your Majesty, I accept your order." Abu folded the cards, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed his head: "The words coming from Liaodong say that the imperial court is now... now... trying to drive innocent people into battle, and there are many such moves.
There is cruelty…”
This is talking about the Liaodong capital recruiting the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Haixi Jurchens to fight with the Tatars before going to battle.
Zhu Gaochi's brows suddenly raised, and the corner of his eye glanced at Zhu Yunxi above.
Zhu Yunxi's expression did not change, he just asked quietly: "What else has been passed on?"
Abu stood up, took two steps back, and then knelt down.
"Some people say that...the imperial court is acting perversely, killing innocent people, taking human lives lightly, and not being a country of benevolence and justice. Even in the prosperous times, the ground is full of bones."
"presumptuous!"
There were angry shouts from above the tall building.
The most elite Shangzhiqin military guards of the Ming Dynasty who were guarding under the tall building immediately put their hands on the handles of their swords at their waists and looked up at the top of the building where the sound came from.
Roof.
Zhu Gaochi suddenly regretted that he had hit the table so hard just now that his palms were still aching.
His eyes kept passing over Zhu Yunxi's face, and then he got in front of him and said to Abu with a serious face: "The imperial court has always been benevolent and righteous, and even in the 25th year of Hongwu, he had sex with the Northeastern slaves.
The Jurchens in the region signed an alliance to jointly deal with the Tatars.
This time when our country goes to war, the Jurchens should send troops to join the Ming Dynasty in conquering the enemy. So, how can we say that our country is acting perversely?
If the two armies fight, there will definitely be casualties.
The Jurchens will die in battle, but our Ming soldiers will not die in battle?
If so, why should we care so little about human life?"
Zhu Gaochi kept shouting at Abu Zhi'an, while Abu Zhi'an kept nodding his head in agreement.
However, the eyes of the two of them kept glancing at Zhu Yunxi, who had never commented on this matter.
"Renyi?"
Zhu Yunxi sneered.
Zhu Gaochi and Abu immediately shut up, and they sat upright like students in the classroom.
"The Ming Dynasty will only be benevolent and righteous to its own people." Zhu Yunxi was emotionally stable and spoke calmly.
"My Ming Dynasty is not powerful enough to be able to feed and clothe everyone in the world!
So on this basis, when we are in the court, we should ensure that the people of Ming Dynasty are fed and clothed first.
As for human lives outside the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Yunxi laughed lightly.
He didn't say the last sentence, but Zhu Gaochi and A Buji in front of him understood it clearly.
Human lives outside the Ming Dynasty were never in Zhu Yunxi's eyes.
That's what Zhu Yunxi thought.
He is the grandson of the emperor who oversees the country in the Ming Dynasty. He is only responsible for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Are the Japanese citizens of the empire?
no.
Are the Jurchens citizens of the Ming Dynasty?
The answer is still no!
Then, if he could use the lives of the Jurchens to reduce the casualties of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, he would choose to do so.
There was a bit of coldness on Zhu Yunxi's face: "As for what you two dare not say, it is Gu's intention to instruct Tiexuan to massacre the Jurchens regardless of age or age."
Zhu Gaochi and Abu were the only two people in front of him, and they raised their heads sharply.
They never thought that Zhu Yunxi would be so decisive and admit the matter without any cover-up.
However, Zhu Yunxi still had a smile on his face.
However, he could not express the reason, and could only linger in his heart for a long time.
Why should those slaves of the Ming Dynasty who had to kneel on the ground and look up to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for some food for survival, massacre the city?
And the Ming Dynasty cannot destroy their clan?
There is no such reason in the world.
It is not true that only state officials are allowed to set fires and people are not allowed to light lamps.
The Jurchens massacred the women and children of the Ming Dynasty behind them, but they were never merciful.
If they were not like the Yuan people, they needed the Central Plains people to cultivate their fields and provide for them. As long as there was a replacement, whether it was the Yuan people or the Jurchens, they would cleanly kill all the people in the entire Central Plains.
Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Zhu Gaochi.
Facing Brother Xi's eyes, Zhu Gaochi's shoulders trembled and he immediately raised his fists.
Zhu Yunxi said coldly: "Pass on Gu's words, this time I won't use Tie Xuan's name.
As far as I'm concerned, if anyone still sympathizes with the Jurchens and thinks that the old, weak, women and children of the Jurchens don't have to go to the battlefield, then let them go to the frontline battlefields and forward camps by themselves.
Give them the best armor and the best weapons!"
Zhu Gaochi and Abu's implicit remarks today are not groundless.
There must be someone in the court or at the local level who is promoting these rumors.
Zhu Yunxi knew clearly in his heart that he didn't want any explanation.
Since someone wants to be a Virgin, then go to the battlefield to replace those Jurchens who are destined to die.
only……
Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "Zhang Hui."
Deng Deng Deng.
There were footsteps in the tall building.
Few and.
Zhang Hui, an official of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife in his hand, climbed to the top of the high-rise building.
"Your Majesty, please see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."
Zhu Yunxi raised his arm, slowly stretched out a finger, and pointed outside the building.
"Since I have spoken, you Jin Yiwei will go and check to find out who are the ones interceding for the Jurchens."
Zhang Hui immediately accepted the order, then clenched his fists, glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and asked in a low voice: "After finding out..."
"Send them to the forward camp of the Eastern Route Army."
Zhu Yunxi replied lightly.
Zhang Hui trembled all over: "My lord, take the order!"
Seeing Zhang Hui's back walking down the tall building, Zhu Gaochi was filled with worry.
The uncle told himself that he should keep an eye on Brother Hei and not let him forget his true intentions because of the grand occasion in front of him.
He is now a little worried that Brother Xie, the foundation of the country, will take another path in the future.
Amidst Zhu Gaochi's worries, Zhu Yunxi stood up, opened the window and walked to the corridor outside the top floor.
He placed his hands gently on the railing, letting the wind from high in the sky blow against his cheeks.
The whole Daqing City.
now.
All before your eyes.
"Are you worried?"
Zhu Gaochi walked out of the building, clasped his hands together, stood behind Zhu Yunxi, and asked in a low voice.
Abu and I stood on the other side, looking down at the construction scene in Daqing City that I never get tired of.
According to the construction plan, the four main roads in the city will be completed ahead of schedule to ensure that the subsequent construction of various subdivisions in the city can ensure smooth movement of construction materials.
Zhu Yunxi looked outside the city.
Some slightly younger herdsmen children have begun to herd the cattle and sheep distributed by the Lord's Palace of Daqingcheng.
At this time of year, there is plenty of rain, and the grassland outside the city is lush and green.
The herdsmen's children would bring the Ming people's children who had migrated from the imperial court to graze and play on the same land, and teach each other their own life skills.
This is a positive integration, and it is also the purpose of building Daqing City.
As for the Jurchens.
He really couldn't imagine what role those people had for Ming Dynasty.
For the sake of the future of the Ming Dynasty, this ethnic group with a very small population now has sufficient reasons to leave this world collectively.
