The prince of the Ming Dynasty said he wanted to see the new artillery, so naturally no one dared to stop him.
Moreover, it is far easier for the prince to leave the palace than for the emperor to leave the palace.
At least no one can say that the dragon body is important.
The spacious Prince's carriage was pressed against the road, but the people in the carriage could not feel any bumps.
Probably so that the prince can have a place to work anytime and anywhere, the interior of this carriage is also equipped with all the four treasures of the study.
Behind a short slip of paper, there are still several documents piled on it.
Zhu Biao was still sitting upright, his eyes lowered, and he was reviewing the documents in front of him.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi really hoped that Xiaopang or Brother Bing could be by his side.
Because from what he could see, his father didn't pay attention to the document in front of him this time. He was obviously thinking about other things, and it was very likely that it was something that would bring bad luck to someone.
Zhu Yunxi moved his butt silently.
Zhu Biao seemed to raise his head casually and glanced at his son who was moving his buttocks.
"The country is changing rapidly, and as a father, I often feel that I can't keep up with the pace of the country."
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows.
Take a look.
I guessed right.
He nodded and lowered his head and whispered: "A political person is a good person. If people control things, the world will be safe."
Zhu Biao nodded: "That's the truth. Now you can see it more clearly. This is very good."
Zhu Yunxi was cautious: "Father loves me deeply."
Zhu Biao's laughter came from the carriage.
He pushed away the document in front of him, turned the finger on his hand, and his eyes flickered: "The Ministry of Industry is very different from the past. I heard that they have also come up with a lot of good things that benefit the people. This time the imperial court also wants to explore the southwest.
Chieftain, there is a new type of artillery coming out, which is in line with the times."
Zhu Yunxi echoed: "When several main cement roads and railways in the country are completed, and Longjiang Shipyard can build iron-clad steamships, then our Ming Dynasty's troops can be sent to farther places to open up the country."
We open up new territories to benefit all peoples. We nourish our homeland in the Central Plains with all nations and nurture a world for all generations."
The problem with China's complacency is actually very obvious, and the answer is also very clear.
It has always been the ideological restrictions of the Central Plains, coupled with the obstacles of the terrain outside the Central Plains.
But now the thoughts of the Ming Dynasty are undergoing earth-shaking changes and baptisms. After the gains made in the Eastern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, and now that the Northern Expedition has completely ended, people have been able to accept that the country's army will go
Come out and bring more benefits to the country from outside.
The Central Plains people have found a new way to make profits, thereby easing the internal struggle for interests.
And once there is another big change in roads and transportation.
The wave of going out from the Central Plains will no longer be pushed downward from the center of the imperial court, but will become the people at the bottom expressing their needs for outward expansion.
Just like the newly built Shangyuanmen Pier outside Yingtian City.
In the warehouse over there are mountains of spices, wood and ores shipped back from the south.
And these will be digested by the people, and wealth will be deposited layer by layer among the people.
Zhu Biao was smiling, but his deep eyes made it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
At this time, he continued: "It's great that things are changing with each passing day. This time the imperial court has implemented a plan to manage the chieftains in the southwest and completely changed the Tuguiliu. If everything goes well, the Ming Dynasty will have a unified official system from top to bottom. All the people in the world will be the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no natives or Miao people."
, the differences between enlightened people are unified with each other.”
The Han Dynasty established the name of Han people.
The Tang Dynasty established the majesty of the Tang people.
Now, the Ming Dynasty should also create a prosperous era that belongs to the people of the Ming Dynasty and will be sung by future generations.
Zhu Biao's goal is very ambitious. He wants to create a country where everyone is wise.
Even in the Han and Tang Dynasties, no king had ever truly achieved this.
Zhu Yunxi agreed with this point.
In a country, all people are the same, there is no distinction between them, there is no superiority or inferiority.
The people of the Ming Dynasty are the people of the Ming Dynasty, not the people of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, the native people of the Ming Dynasty, or the Miao people of the Ming Dynasty.
"If we want to realize my father's vision, it will take time to change the customs and customs after the southwest changes. No matter north, south, east, west, or on both sides of the river, there are the same customs and culture. Only in this way can people's hearts be truly twisted into one rope.
.”
Zhu Yunxi whispered something that he had been thinking about for a long time.
Zhu Biao showed approval: "These can only be decided after the southwest affairs are completed. But for now, we still have to focus on the southwest. Now that new artillery is available, the court has no shortage of food, grass and weapons, and the army
The generals, officers and soldiers heard the news and asked for war, but my father still had no idea about the choice of the commander-in-chief and was still undecided."
After saying that, Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Yunxi lightly.
Zhu Yunxi was not aware of it at this time, so he said casually: "The second uncle has been in Wuchang Mansion and Nanchang Mansion recently. The second uncle is the eldest in the clan besides his father.
In the past few years, my second uncle has gained a lot of experience by being by Grandpa's side, and his actions are even more different than before.
In addition, the second uncle has been familiar with the military generals since the beginning of the country. Moreover, when the second uncle was in the Qin Dynasty, he was very well-trained as a palace guard and his combat power was quite strong.
It’s better to stay close and let my second uncle take over as the head coach.”
Zhu Biao curled his lips and raised his brows: "Your second uncle has always been eager to do things, and his work is also quite rough. If he is allowed to lead the Northern Expedition, or if he replaces your third and fourth uncles in the future to take charge of Western affairs,
All are considered suitable. His temperament is suitable for a confrontation between two armies.
But if it is placed among the lofty mountains in the southwest, I am afraid that your second uncle will not find the enemy by then, so he will randomly treat the natives who are interested in the imperial court as real enemies, and kill them all with one shot."
The corners of Zhu Yunxi's eyes twitched.
Throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, I was the only one who could say this about Qin King Zhu Ping, and the other party would be happy to say so, nodding repeatedly to express that what he said was good and what he said was right.
Even if his old man said this, according to Zhu Xi's temperament, he would still groan a few times to express his dissatisfaction.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Yunxi tried again: "Then let the sixth uncle command the entire army? In the past few years, the imperial court used troops in the southwest, and the sixth uncle also took command many times, and he was quite effective in front of the battle.
.”
When Zhu Yunxi mentioned Lao Liu, Zhu Biao immediately shook his head and rejected it.
"If your sixth uncle were to be the chieftain of Huguangdao alone, I would be very relieved. He is attentive, and he is the chieftain of Huguangdao, so there is nothing wrong with choosing him as the commander." Zhu Biao affirmed Chu King Zhu Zhen,
Then he objected: "But this time we have to use all the southwestern Dao and Dusi, which involves a lot.
Your sixth uncle is good at being detailed, but once the matter is magnified to the entire southwest, he will seem powerless.
In addition, your sixth uncle has been staying in Huguang Road and is completely unfamiliar with civil and military officials such as Guangxi Road, Sichuan Road, Yunnan Road, and Guizhou Dusi.
Moreover, the imperial court's move to ban the army in the southwest will definitely make vigorous use of the new artillery you mentioned. Your sixth uncle is not familiar with firearms, so if you let him command the entire army, I'm afraid he won't be able to fully utilize the uses of firearms."
Zhu Yunxi blinked.
It's not like he guessed what his father was really thinking.
But he had a bold guess in his mind.
It was my father who came up with this idea from the beginning to comprehensively explore the southwest and use this opportunity to completely transform the southwest into its original land and eliminate all toasts.
So I can make a reasonable guess now.
After my father repeatedly rejected his proposed head coach candidates.
Could it be that Dad wants to conquer the Southwest himself?
Zhu Yunxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he had guessed why his father kept rejecting other candidates.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty wanted to personally conquer the southwest.
It's just that the prince is from the country, so he can't say it himself.
Let's imagine.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly one day faced the civil and military officials in the court hall and announced that he wanted to personally conquer the southwest.
At that time, what will be the reaction in the court?
I'm afraid that as soon as Zhu Biao finished saying this, all the civil and military officials in the court had already knelt on the ground.
The civil servants could find countless reasons to persuade the prince not to go to war personally.
The generals will probably be more direct.
Anyway, there are many pillars above the court, and those generals will definitely hug the pillars and ask the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince if he is questioning their ability to lead troops.
No one would agree to let the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty leave Yingtian City and run to the military formation.
Zhu Yunxi even thought unkindly.
If Dad told the civil and military officials in the court that he was a little bored staying in Yingtian City and wanted to go out for a walk. Those civil and military officials would definitely select a bunch of corrupt officials the next day, okay
When the prince arrives, there will be someone to behead.
But he will never let the prince go to the southwest to command the army and lead the army to fight in the deep mountains and old forests.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes turned.
I am a filial person.
Since my father has behaved like this in front of him, he has successively rejected the proposals of his second uncle and his sixth uncle as commanders.
Then shouldn't I show something, understand my father's thoughts, and express my true thoughts for him?
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flashed, and he raised his head just in time to meet Zhu Biao's deep and dark eyes.
"My son has some ideas, but he doesn't feel comfortable speaking out..."
Zhu Biao showed some expectation on his face and encouraged: "In front of me, you can speak freely without restraint."
The reason why I said so much was not just for that one thing.
At this time, Zhu Biao was almost in a state of despair.
When Zhu Yunxi saw his father, his expression was just as he had guessed.
Dad wants to go out and lead an army of thousands of people before he gets old.
Zhu Yunxi raised his hands, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "My son thinks that his father experienced the chaos of the founding of the country in the early days of the country. Although he has often been in the palace these years, he is very familiar with the world's civil and military officials.
This comprehensive survey of the southwest and the complete transformation of the country into a new one were decided by my father after careful consideration.
The southwest is no different than other places. It must be accomplished in one fell swoop, and strict precautions must be taken not to fail in one place, which may cause greater chaos and spread disaster to other places.
Therefore, the son thought that if the imperial court wanted to conduct a military expedition to the southwest this time, his father would be the best candidate for the commander-in-chief. He could command all the troops and horses, control all roads, and serve as officials. They would work together as one, and go all out to conquer the southwest, and complete the complete reform of our dynasty.
The matter of Tuguiliu."
After Zhu Yunxi spoke for a long time, his expression was solemn.
As long as Dad nods at this time, he will be the first to bring up this matter in the court.
Be a son, in your heart!
For the first time in so many years, the prince's father wanted to do something he wanted to do. As his son, he couldn't refuse.
Zhu Yunxi's face was full of solemnity, as if he was trying to save his old father.
Zhu Biao was dumbfounded.
It seems that I didn't say anything wrong, nor did I imply anything wrong.
So just now, did I hear wrongly?
This kid is actually trying to trick himself into commanding the army in the southwest.
I really want to change to the emperor's grandson.
Zhu Biao didn't know how to continue talking for a while.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the prince's father with twinkling eyes. Looking at his reaction, he felt that he must have been right.
The prince's father really wants to conquer it himself.
He said loudly: "Don't worry, father. When the next court meeting is held, my son will raise this matter in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. Let's talk to Mr. Jie and others in the next few days, and then we will let him know.
The people below echoed in the court.
Even if there were some obstructionists, my son thought it would be easy to handle it if he did it this way.
However, if my father wanted to go on a personal expedition, he would have to gather all the troops and horses. It would be best to ask Kamizhi's military guards to mobilize more troops and horses to guard his father, as if he were a Chinese army.
When the time comes, the son will discuss a list with the Governor's Office and select some generals who are good at using firearms and send them to various armies.
However, the mountains in the southwest are high and the roads are far away. Once the chieftain's soldiers and horses hide in the mountains, it will be a troublesome thing just to find them. If my father leads the army to conquer personally, he still has to choose a location with favorable terrain to set up camp, but the attack will be slow.
Some things can’t be rushed.”
Zhu Yunxi rambled on for a long time, fearing that his father, the prince, would turn around and lead his troops to the front line, so he rushed forward desperately.
"Please stop for a moment..."
Finally, Zhu Biao couldn't stand it anymore and raised his hand to stop his son who continued to talk.
Zhu Yunxi immediately shut up, with an expression on his face that was waiting for praise.
Zhu Biao glanced at the silly son in front of him.
"For my father's sake, this time the imperial government will conduct a strategic plan in the southwest, completely transform the land and return it to the locals, and turn all the chieftains in the southwest into imperial counties. You have to make another trip to the capital to take charge of this matter."
"ah?"
Zhu Yunxi was also dumbfounded.
He never thought from beginning to end that the prince's father wanted him to take command in the southwest.
According to the arrangements made by his family, after returning from the last Northern Expedition, he should not have stayed in Yingtian and learned to handle the government affairs.
Why should I go to the Southwest again at this time?
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes and explained: "Look, you also said it. There will be new artillery used this time. You are the most familiar with this thing."
Moreover, you have been in battle many times in the past few years and have experience in commanding troops.
The generals in the army also have trust in you. As for the local officials in the southwest, you can make everyone obey you with the sign that your grandfather gave you.
After all the calculations, it is most appropriate for you to go."
It's over, I just shot myself in the foot.
Zhu Yunxi was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that the prince's father had tricked his own son.
