Chapter 2196, The prince drives the development of the frontier
In Taihe Square in front of the Jinluan Palace of the Ming Dynasty, dozens of adult princes of the Ming Dynasty stood upright, each of them looking very sad.
They are about to drag their families and leave the comfortable capital of the Ming Dynasty to go to a corner of the world, a wilderness, to establish their own vassal state. From now on, they will never be able to live as comfortably as in the capital.
Liu Jin looked at the Ming princes in front of him. Dozens of them were now adults. This time, none of them were left alive.
The dozens of princes in front of me all have different looks, some have blond hair and blue eyes. After all, there are few Ming Dynasty features, so there is no expectation that their mothers should be from Europe.
Others are relatively short and stocky, with somewhat typical Mongolian characteristics. Their mother is a princess from a prairie tribe on the northern grasslands, and their genes are all inherited from those of the prairie people.
Of course, most of them are more mixed. They have the characteristics and genes of a few tribes and the genes of the Ming Han people, but some people have high nose bridges, or have other colors of hair, eyes, etc.
Although there are great differences in appearance, they are all princes of the Ming Dynasty and the sons of Zhu Houzhao. They are also wearing the python robes of the princes of the Ming Dynasty. They are all dressed in Han Chinese clothes and stand respectfully.
In contrast, the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Zaicheng seems to be more in line with the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty people. He is extremely handsome, with dark eyes and black hair, a tall and straight figure, and impressive nobility.
"Zhu Houzhao is really capable of giving birth. The key is that many of his genes have not yet been adapted to his."
Liu Jin was a little speechless. When Zhu Houzhao led his army to sweep Eastern Europe, he brought back too many women. Many of the princes he gave birth to had typical Slavic characteristics.
If you didn't know this, you would have thought they were European nobles. Who would have thought that these were actually the sons of the Ming Emperor.
"Ahem!"
At this time, Zhu Houzhao walked out slowly and looked at his dozens of sons again. He didn't feel anything about most of them because there were too many sons.
Many of them were created by him once he saved the seeds, and he may not have said a few words to each other since he was a child.
Now that it's about to be divided up, I still need to take one last look.
"These are all my sons?"
Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and couldn't help complaining in his heart. None of these looked like him.
If it weren't for the dedicated eunuchs in the palace who were responsible for this matter, Zhu Houzhao would have seriously expressed doubts.
"Father!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao, all the princes also shouted in unison.
"Um!"
"You are all the princes of our Ming Dynasty. After the enfeoffment, each of you will become a vassal king. From now on, you must run your own vassal state well, protect our Ming Dynasty, inherit our Chinese civilization, and promote the development of our Ming Dynasty's border areas."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said some words of encouragement without any pain.
This time, the princes of the Ming Dynasty were entrusted. Almost all the princes were entrusted overseas and outside the customs. Of course, the only thing these princes can do is to have their own choices.
They can choose whether to go to the Black Earth Province, the Golden Continent, or Australia, Tianzhu, Nanyang and other places. This is the only choice Zhu Houzhao can give them.
"My son, please remember your father's teachings!"
Upon hearing this, all the princes replied in unison.
"Go, everyone, go and say goodbye to your mother and concubine."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and was too lazy to look again. Each of them took away millions of taels of silver from him, and he was bleeding profusely. But none of them looked very satisfied, but what could be done?
If you are not satisfied, you should leave early, it will be annoying to watch.
"yes!"
All the princes replied in unison, and then each one went to the harem to say goodbye to their mother and concubine.
In the palace of the Golden Concubine and the Silver Concubine, the tall brothers Zhu Zaiji and Zhu Zaitan were kneeling respectfully beside their mother-in-law and bidding farewell to their mother-in-law.
The Golden Concubine and the Silver Concubine were originally named Yelena and Avrona. They were originally the daughters of the Grand Duke of Ryazan and the princesses of the Principality of Ryazan.
When Zhu Houzhao attacked the Principality of Ryazan, Grand Duke Ivan V of Ryazan donated his two women, so they had the Golden Concubine and the Silver Concubine.
Because the two were sisters, they depended on each other in the palace and even lived together. This attracted Zhu Houzhao to visit frequently.
In addition to the two brothers in front of me, there are several younger brothers and sisters behind.
"Mother, we have to leave."
Zhu Zaiji and Zhu Zaitan couldn't help but burst into tears.
After this trip, I don’t know whether we will be able to see each other again in a year or a month, and we may even never see him again in this lifetime.
"Child~"
The two sisters, Jin Fei and Yin Fei, also started to cry. Thinking that they might never see their son again in the future, they felt very sad.
Everything else in the Ming Dynasty was good, but it was very ruthless in this aspect. After the prince was enfeoffed, he could never return to the capital, and the concubines in the harem basically had very few opportunities to go out, let alone go to themselves.
The son has a fiefdom.
Unless the emperor has left, the concubines in the harem can go to their son and enjoy the blessings in his son's kingdom, but I don't know when that happened.
The two sisters were also very sad. They had not seen their father for many years, and now they had to say goodbye to their son. This was really painful.
After crying for a while, Yelena and Avrona slowly wiped away their tears and took a closer look at their sons. They both looked different from Zhu Houzhao, more like a Slav.
Tall, with fair skin, blue eyes, and a tall nose, he looks more like their grandfather.
"After you go to Black Earth Province, remember to go to Ryazan. I have already made an agreement with your grandfather, and he will give you a lot of support."
Yelena wiped away her tears and said.
When the Grand Duke of Ryazan decisively chose to surrender and dedicated his two daughters to Zhu Houzhao, after the Ming Dynasty occupied the Principality of Ryazan, Ivan V still had a very high status and owned a large area of land in Ryazan.
, and at the same time still has a huge influence on the local people.
After so many years, relying on the powerful Ming Empire, managing their own land and doing business, they have lived a good life. They can even send a lot of money to the two sisters every year so that they can stay in the palace.
Lived better.
After all, there were too many women in Zhu Houzhao's harem, and the competition was fierce. In addition to the two sisters having extraordinary abilities, money was also indispensable. There were too many places to spend money in the palace.
"Um!"
The two brothers Zhu Zaiji and Zhu Zaitan nodded quickly.
The two brothers chose to establish their own vassal state in the Black Earth Province. The Black Earth Province was far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. It was vast and sparsely populated, and the land was very fertile. Of course, more importantly, their grandfather had a large number of people in the Black Earth Province.
The connections and resources can help them a lot.
"This is a photo we just took yesterday. You can take it back to your grandpa and let him see what we look like now."
Then the two sisters took out some more photos, including photos of the two sisters, and photos with several princes and princesses. These were newly taken and were intended for the two brothers to take back to the Black Earth Province to Ivan V.
"Um."
Zhu Zaiji also nodded quickly and took the photo and asked him to keep it well.
"When you two establish a vassal state in the future, you should help each other and take care of each other. If you have any difficulties, you can write letters or send telegrams back, and we will find a way to help you."
"And when you go to Black Earth Province, there is nothing better than the capital city of the Ming Dynasty. You need to take care of yourself, take care of yourself, and take care of the children."
"After all, the cities in Europe are dirty. You should pay attention to hygiene."
"I also heard that Europe is in a mess right now, with wars happening everywhere. You should also pay attention to safety. When the time comes, let your grandpa find a way to get more people for you to form an army for your own vassal."
"You should save your money and spend it wisely. Stop talking nonsense."
"The five million taels of silver your father gave you is for you to establish a vassal state. If you spend it carelessly, it will be very difficult to make money by then."
"The places in Eastern Europe are not as good as Nanyang, Tianzhu and other places. You can also grow cotton, sugar cane, spices and so on. There is nothing else except wheat and potatoes."
"If you don't have any minerals, your vassal country may be very poor in the future, so you must save some money. Most of the money should be deposited in the bank to earn interest, or invested in some industries."
The two sisters kept urging brothers Zhu Zaiji and Zhu Zaitan.
The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles!
"Well, we know, and we'll keep it in mind."
"Mother and concubine, you should also take care of your health in the capital. You should still take supplements when you need them, don't skimp on them."
"We both know that the vassal states are close to each other, and we will help each other."
The two brothers also cried and replied repeatedly, telling their mother and concubine to take good care of themselves.
This farewell may truly be an eternal farewell, and we may never see each other again.
On this day, there were sounds of crying and reluctance everywhere in the Harem of the Ming Dynasty. Some people even cried extremely sadly.
But no matter how reluctant they were to leave, these princes still had to leave the capital of the Ming Dynasty, leave the place where they grew up, and travel to other parts of the world, to the frontiers, to the wilderness.
They will bring a lot of population, technology and funds to border and remote areas, promote the development of these remote areas, and also protect the border areas for the Ming Dynasty.
Black Earth Province, Australia, Golden Continent, Nanyang, Tianzhu, Africa. As dozens of princes leave Beijing, dozens of new vassal states will soon be established one after another.
