Chapter 194 Zhu Hans private interview in private [Please order the full version]

Therefore, my sister-in-law Wang was allowed to enter the palace frequently to meet Queen Ma, and chat with her about the rumors and gossip outside the palace.
The eldest sister-in-law, Wang, asked the queen to arrange a marriage for her eldest nephew to a high-class family.
After selecting several houses, my sister-in-law Wang finally met a suitable girl.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Wenzheng didn't seem to appreciate it. When he heard about the marriage, his face immediately fell and he said impatiently.
"Mother! How many times have I told you that I want to imitate Huo Qubing, the great hussar general of the time. The Huns are not destroyed, so why should we take care of our family!"
My sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, had no feeling at all about her son Kang's impassioned words and immediately spat.
"Bah, the bigger the dog of yours gets, the more disobedient you become. Your aunt Queen told me that Huo Qubing, the person you talk about every day, lived less than twenty years old. If you imitate him, you will make me in vain.
I'm sending someone with black hair away, oh my mother!" said the sister-in-law, Wang, at the top of her lungs like a shrew.
Although Zhu Wenzheng was arrogant and domineering on the outside, any scoundrel or noble son would shy away from him when he saw him, but there was nothing he could do about his own mother.
"Mom, this is not the same thing at all." Zhu Wenzheng said helplessly.
"Bah, how come it's not the same thing? Could it be that by proposing a marriage to you and having a son, I will delay you from becoming an official and becoming a general?" Sister-in-law Wang said with disdain.
The stupid boy Zhu Wenzheng looked helpless and suddenly became mute.
Sister-in-law Wang immediately struck while the iron was hot and said immediately.
"The marriage I'm telling you about is the queen of the most famous person, the queen of the loyal king Lu Xiufu!" Sister-in-law Wang said with a proud face.
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Zhu Wenzheng, who was originally absent-minded, looked shocked.
"Loyal King Lu Xiufu?"
Lu Xiufu was the loyal minister who threw himself into the sea and died for his country when the Southern Song Dynasty fell, carrying his young master Zhao Bing on his back.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty was founded by resisting the Yuan Dynasty and resisting the Mongols, Zhu Han suggested posthumously conferring honorary titles on all the national heroes of the previous dynasties, the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, in order to rectify their origins and promote righteousness.
Moreover, Zhu Han also suggested that his brother Zhu Yuanzhang send people to search for these loyal martyrs all over the world and reward them with plaques and titles.
After several years of searching and verification, a total of more than a hundred loyal ministers and good generals were established.
Among them was Lu Xiufu, a loyal martyr of the generation. After the Battle of Yashan, Lu Xiufu's youngest son grabbed a way out under the protection of his own soldiers and led a small number of survivors of the Southern Song Dynasty to flee into the South China Sea and live a difficult life on a small island in the South China Sea.
Not long ago, these survivors of the Southern Song Dynasty who were struggling to survive in Nanyang followed the caravan to Yingtian Mansion. Among them, the descendants of Lu Xiufu used the official seal of the Southern Song Dynasty in their hands to prove that they were descendants of Lu Xiufu and received canonization and awards from the Ming Dynasty.
He was awarded the plaque of the House of Loyalty and Martyrs, the Marquis of Nanping, and a thousand households in the city.
Zhu Wenzheng studied many heroic deeds of Chinese martyrs at the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, among which the famous Yashan naval battle was naturally among them.
The Battle of Yashan not only has a grand and tragic significance, but the grandfather of the old Zhu family, Mr. Chen, was a Song soldier in the Battle of Yashan. So in this way, the ancestral roots of the old Zhu family are the anti-Yuan family.

Zhu Wenzheng knew all about the loyal ministers in the Yashan naval battle. Now that he heard that he was going to marry a descendant of the loyal Lu Xiufu, all his original grudges turned into expectations.
"This Marquis of Nanping, Lu Zhen, has a fiefdom in Nanyang. I heard that it is full of gold and spices. If you can marry him, you will get a generous dowry in the future."
My sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang, kept talking about her vision for the future.
In the mind of sister-in-law Wang, she only hopes that Zhu Wenzheng can grow up in peace and then get married and have children. Being an official or a general is not as practical as living a down-to-earth life.
Zhu Wenzheng didn't even hear what his mother said next.
He just thought that if he could really marry a descendant of Lu Xiufu, it would be a great blessing.
Early the next morning, someone was sent from the palace to summon Zhu Wenzheng to the palace.
Zhu Wenzheng and his wife Wang originally thought it was about his marriage to a descendant of Lu Xiufu.
But when he came to the palace, the only people who saw him were Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.
"My nephew pays homage to your majesty, and pays homage to the emperor's uncle!"
Zhu Wenzheng quickly saluted respectfully.
Although he has a reputation for being unruly and unruly outside, in front of his two uncles he is as well-behaved as a little quail.
Although Zhu Wenzheng was only one or two years younger than Zhu Han, he never dared to show any slightness.
"Wen Zheng is now a grown man. Yesterday the Queen told us that she has arranged a marriage for you. She is a descendant of the loyal king Lu Xiufu." My elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to speak.
"You see, isn't this a coincidence?" Zhu Han also followed up with a smile.
This thing is really a coincidence.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were planning to canonize Zhu Wenzheng to Nanyang and become King of Jingnan, when they heard that Queen Ma Xiuying had arranged a marriage for him, and she was a descendant of Lu Xiufu from Nanyang.
After the Yashan naval battle that year, Lu Xiufu's youngest son led a small number of remaining troops to defeat the generals, and gained a small base in Nanyang.
Now they have come to Yingtian to submit to the Ming Dynasty. Although they have received titles and rewards, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han originally planned to let them return to Nanyang again to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty.
Because the territory occupied by Nanping Hou Lu Zhen and his companions is exactly on the island of Java in Nanyang.
The territory that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han planned to allocate to Zhu Wenzheng was also centered on Java Island in Southeast Asia.
"It is true that this matter exists, but it has not been decided yet." Zhu Wenzheng said a little shyly.
"There's no need to be so troublesome. It's best for our old Zhu family to keep matters straight. Now that you're the boss, it's time to contribute to the country." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Uncle, where do you want me to join the army?"
Zhu Wenzheng had repeatedly asked Zhu Yuanzhang to let him go to the front line of the battlefield.
However, these requests were rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang because he was still young and needed to learn and experience.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to contribute to the country, Zhu Wenzheng was naturally excited.
A good man should aim for a thousand miles, kill his enemies to serve his country, and expand his territory.
"Although you act a little recklessly, you are definitely not a simple reckless man. I feel wronged by asking you to join the army and be a soldier." Zhu Han said next to him.

When Zhu Wenzheng heard this, he was immediately filled with expectations.
He felt that his two imperial uncles must entrust him with important responsibilities, and maybe let him take charge of the military affairs of Lanzhou Xingdu Division. After all, Zhu Wenzheng had heard that Xu Da fell ill in Lanzhou and had returned to Xi'an to recuperate.
Doesn’t one person need to be in charge of military affairs?
If you can't go to the Lanzhou Xingdusi, you can go to the Peipingdusi to help continue the crusade against Mobei. Zhu Wenzheng felt that if you go to the Peipingdusi, you must lead the elite to capture Wang Baobao alive in Mobei and replicate the great achievements of the hussar generals back then.
"We plan to make you the King of Jingnan. Tanghe has just captured the city of Uka, and it will be used as a place for you to raise troops. Starting from Uka City, we will go south through the Southeast Asian territories such as Java Island. From here, it doesn't matter how many places go south.
, as long as you can conquer it, it will all be your fief! As for the vassal's travel expenses, recruitment of soldiers, food, grass and ships, all expenses can be lent to you from the inner treasury until the fiefdom in Nanyang reaches a certain scale.
, and then use the food, gold and spices from Nanyang to repay it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
After Zhu Wenzheng heard the news, he was stunned on the spot.
He never imagined that what he was waiting for was such great good news.
"Canonized King of Nanyang?" Zhu Wenzheng stammered a little.
"What is the King of Nanyang? It's the King of Jingnan." Zhu Han immediately rolled his eyes.
Zhu Wenzheng, a brat like this, thinks of beauty. The concept of Nanyang is so big, including Luzon Island and other places, it belongs to the concept of Nanyang.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the screen behind him as he spoke.
A huge map of Southeast Asia has just been hung on this screen, with basically all the islands, large and small, clearly drawn.
"Not the entire Nanyang, but from here to the south of Wuka City, that is, from this line to the south. It's up to you to conquer the country by yourself!"
The line that brother Zhu Yuanzhang is pointing to is the equator line on the map.
"Such a big place!"
Zhu Wenzheng's blood immediately boiled.
At this time, he no longer wanted to fight the Mongols. He had already heard about this barbaric land in Southeast Asia.
I heard that there is fertile land all over Southeast Asia, and there are large quantities of valuable spices growing on trees along the roadside, and you can pick baskets of them at will.
You know, in Yingtianfu, one tael of spices can buy ten pounds of pork.
This is equivalent to the fact that what grows on the ground in Nanyang is not spices, but money trees.
Not only that, these Southeast Asian islands are also rich in gold, silver and copper mines.
The local indigenous residents are also barbaric and backward.
However, outsiders generally do not have local guides, are not familiar with the terrain and climate, and are extremely vulnerable to mosquitoes, rats, ants, and diseases.
The Lu family of the Marquis of Nanping, who were about to marry Zhu Wenzheng, had already lived in Nanyang for decades.
As long as Zhu Wenzheng is canonized as the King of Jingnan, his future father-in-law can serve as the pioneer guide for the King of Jingnan. Using the rich national power and military of the Ming Dynasty, it will be easy to eradicate and subjugate the indigenous barbarians.
After Wuka City was conquered by the Ming army, the surrounding Nanyang states were in a wait-and-see state.

They were all observing Ming's attitude towards the Nanyang territory. If Ming was tougher, they would be more submissive.
Therefore, Zhu Wenzheng must be sent to guard Nanyang as soon as possible.
In just one month, under the guidance of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, Zhu Wenzheng completed the ceremony of canonizing the king of Jingnan, and then married the daughter of Nanping Hou Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen, the Marquis of Nanping, stayed in Yingtian Mansion because of his old age. His eldest son Lu Ping served as the Sima of Jingnan Prince's Mansion and followed Zhu Wenzheng to Nanyang to conquer the local barbarian indigenous people.
As the first prince of the Ming Dynasty to join the vassal overseas, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang prepared an extremely luxurious configuration for Zhu Wenzheng.
Since ancient times, it has been common for clan members to be enfeoffed to wild lands to expand territories for the imperial court.
However, few people were entrusted as far away as Zhu Wenzheng.
In order to prevent the world from saying that I abused my nephew.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han naturally have to take more care of Zhu Wenzheng.
When Zhu Wenzheng, King of Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty, set out from Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing, in addition to bringing five to six hundred people including Princess Lu and royal officials, Zhu Han also gave his eldest nephew a thousand Korean slaves and five hundred
Japanese slaves.
According to the latest Ming law, slaves can exist within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but all Ming people cannot become slaves, especially the Han people, who cannot be driven into slavery by anyone in any case.
Anyone who dares to trade Ming and Han people as slaves, depending on the seriousness of the crime, may be punished with a maximum penalty of beheading and exile of the whole family.
However, all the princes, nobles and royal relatives in the Ming Dynasty still needed slaves to serve them. Whether they were male slaves or female slaves, there was a market with a huge gap.
In this case, Goryeo and Japan became the most suitable sources of slaves.
But like King Zhu Han of England, he sent out a thousand Korean slaves and 500 Japanese slaves at once, which was a unique and generous act.
As for Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, he was even more generous. He awarded his eldest nephew Zhu Wenzheng fifty new cannons and three thousand new muskets at once.
The sponsorships from elder brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were of a personal nature. Most of the investment needed for Zhu Wenzheng to go to Nanyang to become the King of Jingnan was a loan granted by the Dalian imperial court.
A one-time loan of 1.5 million taels of silver to Zhu Wenzheng, King of Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty, with a term of ten years and an interest of 20% per year.
This loan is based on interest first and then principal. Every year when he goes to Beijing to congratulate him, it is also the time when the Jingnan Palace repays the interest to the court.
If Jingnan King Zhu Wenzheng or his descendants cannot repay when due, the Ming Dynasty will have the right to take back the Jingnan King's territory.
This model of settling accounts between clan members and brothers opened the eyes of the Ming Dynasty both inside and outside the country.
Everyone knows clearly that no matter how close the relationship is, everyone is treated equally in the eyes of the court.
However, no one would worry that King Zhu Wenzheng of Jingnan would not be able to repay this loan.
Because the legendary Nanyang is full of spices and gold, you can easily make a fortune with your hands. A mere 1.5 million taels, as long as you manage well, you may be able to completely repay it in three to five years.
It was precisely because of the rumors that there was gold everywhere in Nanyang that Zhu Wenzheng easily recruited 500 disciples before leaving Yingtian Mansion.

After Zhu Wenzheng left Yingtian, he led his men to Quanzhou Port quickly. After replenishing supplies in Quanzhou, they continued to the Guangzhou Shipping Department. After completing the last supply at the Guangzhou Shipping Department, they were about to officially leave for Nanyang Uzbekistan.
stuck.
Oh no, now Ukka City is no longer called Ukka City, but has a new name, Malacca.
This name was given by Zhu Han just to make it consistent with the map obtained by signing in.
Malacca City is not only the palace of Zhu Wenzheng, King of Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty, but also the seat of the Nanyang Governor's Palace of the Ming Dynasty.
In the territory of King Jingnan, there are not only the troops belonging to the King of Jingnan, but also the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers and horses of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion mainly opened up territory for the Jingnan Prince and suppressed the local indigenous people.
The soldiers and horses of the Nanyang Dudufu are guarding Uka City for the Ming Dynasty, and are forming a Nanyang fleet to manage the sea areas around Malacca.
It's just that now the replica of Nanyang Capital has a sign, and all the soldiers, horses and officials have not been equipped yet. There is only one Wuka city under Zhu Wenzheng's care.
When Zhu Wenzheng opens up the Jingnan royal fief in the future, the Ming Dynasty will send a formal governor of the Nanyang Dudu Mansion.
