Chapter 190 Foreign Responses and the End of Zhu Yuanzhang's Era
Northwest, Ganzhou. Two men with white cloths on their heads were playing chess face to face in the Yi Pavilion, which was specially designed to entertain foreign envoys. At the same time, they were still chatting.
One of them said in Turkic: "Manraha, what do you think of the Ming Dynasty? Can it be compared with our Timurid Empire?"
Another person also said in Turkic: "Feisi, I came to the Ming Dynasty four years ago. At that time, His Majesty had just defeated the Kipchak Khanate in Kundu Ercha (Kuibyshev), forcing them not to dare to call themselves the Golden Horde.
Khanate. India is still a powerful country, and even the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has not yet been conquered."
"But today, four years later, from the Mesopotamia to the west of Turpan, from the Ural Mountains to the mouth of the Indus River, it is already the territory of our great empire."
"Although the Ottomans in the west are powerful, they are definitely no match for our country. The only one in the world that can be compared with our Timurid Empire is the Ming Empire in the east."
Feisi said: "Can the Ming Kingdom be compared with our Timurid Empire?"
Manlaha said: "From Poland to the Caucasus, and then to the Ming Dynasty in the east, the Ming Dynasty was the first to drive away the Mongols; when the Mongols conquered the world, it was the Easterners who resisted the Mongols for the longest time. They
Not to be underestimated.”
"And the political system of the Ming Dynasty is very interesting. They do not divide the country into tribes to rule separately. Instead, all officials are appointed by the central emperor. This means that they can concentrate the power of the country to face the situation.
Enemies in a certain direction. This is very powerful. Although these officials also caused amazing corruption, which caused the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to keep killing his ministers."
"In addition, the founder of the Ming Dynasty is still alive, and he is an emperor who can be compared with Timur the Great."
Feisi said: "A great monarch will meet another great monarch in a few years. It must be a very great moment."
At this time, a bell rang outside. The two men looked at each other. Although there is also a temple of Tianfang Sect in Ganzhou, this time is not the time to ring the bell?
They have also learned about Buddhism, and the Buddhist temples in the city will not ring their bells at this time.
Manlaha went out and asked the management staff of the Yi Pavilion what happened in Chinese.
After a while, Manlaha came back with a mixed expression and said in the Turkic language they had just discussed: "Feisi, the great moment you mentioned cannot happen. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has already died in the eighteenth day."
Died before."
Feisi said: "That's really a pity. I hope God will bless him and be safe in heaven, although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not seem to believe in God."
Then he said: "Then do we still need to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"
Manlaha said: "Of course it is necessary. I want to see how the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is doing. This is also what the emperor confessed before we set off. No matter who the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is, we must observe him carefully."
On the seaside west of Seoul, the capital of North Korea, Mr. Jin Han was on duty here today. One of his followers muttered: "Why did Mr. Jing'an Jun ask you to come here to guard? Is this what you should do?"
"And how could something happen in just these few days?"
Jin Hanlao scolded: "Shut up!" But he deeply believed it.
At this moment, there was a bright light shining on the sea in the distance, as if a ship was coming here.
Old Jin Han felt surprised, but his busy order flashed the signal according to Li Fangyuan's arrangement, and the other party responded with the corresponding signal.
The confused Mr. Jin Han ordered to prepare to pick up the boat. After a while, the boat arrived at the shore. Mr. Jin Han hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the people.
An Chengjun got off the boat and said to Mr. Jin Han: "Sir, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty passed away! On the fifth day of the leap month."
Mr. Jin Han didn't know how to describe his thoughts at this time. Did Jing'an Jun really guess it right? Has the Ming Dynasty really changed a lot?
And Li Chenggui was sick at this time, which was really a God-given opportunity. At this time, he couldn't help but think that Li Fangyuan was really destined, and he had a little more confidence in what they were about to do.
Jin Hanlao immediately rode into Seoul.
Tonight, Li Fangyuan was also restless, but this was mainly because he was ready to start, so he couldn't sleep well for several nights in a row.
Li Fangyuan, who couldn't sleep, couldn't talk to his cronies so late at night, so he took his wife to talk.
He said: "My father-in-law, if the incident in Seoul is reported, can you respond immediately?" His father-in-law Min Ji is an official in another place. Li Fangyuan does not want North Korea to consume too much national power, so he hopes that the local government can quickly pacify it.
Concubine Min said: "Don't worry, husband, my father is already prepared, there will be no problem."
Li Fangyuan was just about to continue talking when suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside, and then someone said outside: "Master Jun, are you asleep?" The couple were talking without lighting a lamp.
Li Fangyuan heard the voice of Mr. Jin Han, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, asked Min to light the lamp, and then said: "Mr. Jin Han, I'm still awake, come in."
Jin Hanlao opened the door, and just then Min lit the lamp. Jin Hanlao saw Li Fangyuan at a glance, and had no time to say anything else. He whispered, but with an extremely excited expression: "Master Jun, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has passed away.
Already! The prince has taken control of the court!"
Li Fangyuan immediately asked excitedly: "Really?" and then said without waiting for an answer: "Great, a God-given opportunity."
Then he immediately put on his clothes and said to Mr. Jin Han at the same time: "Tell Li Fangqian immediately that we will launch at Yin time tomorrow."
Then he suddenly shook his head and said: "No, Li Fang's ability is not as good as mine. There is no guarantee that there is no one arranged by Li Fangshuo or Li Fangfan, or even the father himself. It is better to wait until the two incense sticks are started tomorrow to inform him.
"
Jin Hanlao said: "Then we can only rely on our own power to smash the door? What if..."
Li Fangyuan said: "Nothing is wrong, we will definitely succeed!" After saying that, he walked out. Jin Hanlao also hurriedly followed him out.
Since King Zhu Zhen of Chu entered the capital on the 18th day of the intercalary month, vassal kings from other places came to the capital one after another. Although Lao Zhu left his edict to prevent them from coming to the capital, no one took his edict to heart and they all came to the capital.
.
And it’s not enough to come alone. Basically, the whole family comes with their families.
On the 29th of the intercalary month, Zhu Di arrived in the capital. In his previous life, Yunxi read such a thing in "The Chronicles of Emperor Hui in the History of the Ming Dynasty". The content was that Yunwen didn't know what he was thinking, so he used the imperial edict as an excuse.
Reject Zhu Di and all other vassal kings from entering the capital.
This is definitely a very wrong move. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong for someone’s own son to come to attend the funeral, at least let them come in for the funeral, and then you can punish them, but you have to let them come in!
So Yunxi generously allowed all the princes to enter the capital.
In addition, in order to express his brotherly respect, Yunxi personally greeted his uncles at the gate of the palace. Starting from Zhu Zhen and ending with the last one who entered the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourteenth son Su Wang Zhu Ping from Ganzhou was the
Came to greet him in person.
In order to allow all the princes to catch up with Lao Zhu's funeral, Yunxi deliberately postponed the funeral until all the princes arrived in the capital, then held the funeral and sent Lao Zhu to Xiaoling for burial, and officially
The Xiaoling Guard was established, and some soldiers were selected from various guards in the Zhili area and transferred to the Xiaoling Guard.
The officers were very frustrated about being transferred to the Xiaoling Guard, because they basically had no room for advancement in the future.
But the soldiers were a little happy, because they no longer had to go to the battlefield in this life. How long would it take to move the guard troops to the front line?
At the same time, the reason why the funeral was held late was so that Xiyao could rest for a few more days. She would also be very busy during the funeral, and she would have to go all the way to the funeral without even having time to rest.
During the funeral procession, Yunxi fainted twice because of grief and exhaustion, and Xiyao almost couldn't hold on.
Everyone else was also very tired, having spent a few days doing major repairs after returning from the funeral.
Finally, on June 20, Zhu Yuanzhang was officially buried in Xiaoling, and the Zhu Yuanzhang era officially came to an end.
