I am the king of the dead

Chapter 125 Breaking Ground on Zhu Di

Zhu Qiyu is very sorry, he regrets that the great Ming Dynasty is not here, and today's Dayue is far from what it was before.

In the 19th year of Yongle, Zhu Di organized a very large-scale spring parade.

The Siyi Pavilion organized more than 27 missions from 600 countries to conduct a super-standard spring parade code-named "Hunting".

Zhu Di dispatched three major battalions of fine cavalry to take the 600-member mission from Jiayuguan, visited the nine-town frontier army of the Ming Dynasty along the way, and then took a boat to Zhejiang to go ashore.

In Zhejiang, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places, humanistic "sightseeing tours" were carried out to promote the long history of Chinese culture and at the same time demonstrate the richness of the Ming Dynasty.

Then in the second year, a mission of 600 people came to Huailai, and the hunting officially began.

A total of [-] elites participated in that Beijing camp, which lasted for more than a month, to publicize the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Gaisuyeddin, deputy envoy of the Timur Empire, once said frankly in his memoirs: "I have to admit that it was a lucky thing for Emperor Timur to die on the way to the Eastern Expedition, which allowed him to preserve his life. illustrious name."

Tamerlane was the little overlord of Central Asia. He established the Timur Empire (near today's Afghanistan). He was once known as a million-strong army. He wanted to fight against the Ming Dynasty and restore the Yuan Dynasty.
As a result, not long after the Eastern Expedition, Timur died on the road.

For Zhu Qiyu's spring parade, the number of participants seemed to be 22, but in fact, less than 2 people participated in the actual rehearsal.

The scale is much smaller than "hunting", and the purpose is only to appease the capital, not to promote national prestige.

In terms of conception, it is also inferior to Emperor Taizong Wen.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, he had a long way to go.

He held his breath, with a fierce look in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, there will be a day when the situation will reverse!"

"We will let the Oirats use their people, their blood, and their land! Blood for blood!"

"Da Ming, the world is invincible!"

Why did Zhu Qiyu organize this grand parade with such great fanfare? His purpose is naturally that the Beijing camp is on the alert. Once the Wala people show their flaws, they will drive a long car, break the Wala people, and chase them to the ends of the world without stopping!

Only one of Daming and Wala can survive.

If he, the emperor, didn't have the energy, then the courtiers would slack off, and the Ming army would slack off.

In the civil war, the innocent souls who died will never rest in peace.

It was night, and Zhu Qiyu returned to Prince Tan's Mansion, still thinking about the Beijing camp.

First of all, the Huomen guns should be replaced with flintlock hand guns, or the old guns should be improved.

Otherwise, the problem of being blinded by gunpowder in the war cannot be solved, so what are you talking about driving long chariots, fighting thousands of miles, and destroying the captives in the west?
But now Zhu Qiyu is short of steel, especially the demand for the elasticity of the reed is huge. The Wang Gong Factory and the Bingzhan Bureau have used up all the steel materials suitable for arming the Tiqi.

Expanding production is imperative.

To expand the production of steel materials, it is necessary to expand the charcoal plant, and to expand the charcoal plant, it is necessary to use Xishan Coal Mountain.

Xishan, Xishan was the place Zhu Di personally selected as the emperor's mausoleum.

Later, it was gradually discovered that Meishan, with millions of capitals, used countless coals for charcoal.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, and firewood are the first words. In this matter of the Xishan coalfield, coal kilns gradually increased.

Even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate prohibits restraint, and the Jinyi guards patrol, it is strictly forbidden to dig coal on Zhu Di's head privately, which is a felony that cannot be pardoned.

But it is still a common practice, with countless kilns and huge profits.

Cheng Jing, the internal official supervisor, went to have a look. There were only one or two official kilns in the entire Xishan Coal Kiln, but the entire Xishan was covered with private kilns.

Zhu Qiyu expected that Xishan Coal Mountain had already been occupied by powerful officials inside and outside.

Zhu Qiyu concluded that Xishan Meishan was occupied by powerful families of internal and external officials, which is consistent with Lu Zhong's investigation.

Lu Zhong's subordinates have been visiting the Xishan Coal Kiln. Although they haven't checked out exactly whose kiln it is, Lu Zhong has already touched a lot of clues.

If Jinyiwei doesn't conduct interviews, is it still Jinyiwei?
First of all, to build a kiln, first of all, you need to pay the cost. You need to find a Lifu mason, cut it into a well, and dig out the water for dozens of days.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a precept from the ancestors: chiseling mountains and cutting rocks is forbidden.

It can be seen that opening coal mines makes money.

The plan was so generous that even the powerful family of Xun Qi broke ground and opened a kiln on Zhu Di's head, regardless of the constraints of the emperor's ancestral precepts!
Ma Sheng once said: Once there is an appropriate profit, capital will be bold, and if there is a 10% profit, it will be guaranteed to be used everywhere;
If there is a 20% profit, it will become active; if there is a 50% profit, it will take risks;
For 100% profit, it dares to trample all human laws;
With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime and even risk the gallows.

Obviously, in order to make money, some people have gone crazy. Even if they are caught to beheaded, they still have to set up kilns and mine coal secretly.

How profitable is this thing?

Zhu Qizhen, the Great Ming God of War Zhu Mingmen, once ordered the British Duke Zhang Fu to set up a coal mine in Lugou River East in April of the 12th year of Zhengtong, but was later caught by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately began to impeach the British Duke Zhang Fu, who disregarded the instructions of the emperor's ancestors and chiseled mountains and cut rocks, asking for punishment.

When Zhu Mingmen saw that the matter was exposed, he immediately reprimanded Zhang Fu and ordered him to shut down.

Even the emperor had to end up setting up coal mines.

Why did Zhu Qiyu know such a secret thing?

Guo Jing left behind an account book, in which Guo Jing's money from smuggling Gang Yu flowed into Zhu Mingmen's pocket, and Zhang Fu's account was also recorded in it.

Zhu Mingmen always has a hand in cheating his own people.

Zhang Fu was a soldier all his life, fighting in the south and in the north. Although his family wealth was not rich, he had always received constant rewards. Moreover, since Zhang Fu became a duke, the British government has strict family education.

Until the last generation of British princes died in battle for Emperor Chongzhen, the British government never relied on its honorable name to commit crimes and never let Daming down.

Except for this matter.

If Zhu Di hadn't called the door to break ground on Zhu Di's head, how could Zhang Fu have ruined his reputation throughout his life?
In the end, Zhu Mingmen killed the general who fought for the Ming Dynasty all his life in the civil castle, and he couldn't even find his body.

Zhu Qiyu asked in a daze: "Xing'an, have the missions of Yue Qian and Ji Duo arrived in Oala? Is there any news?"

"En." Xing'an lit up the candlestick, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Wala seems to be a little hesitant, and Yue Qian has never been allowed to see the Supreme Emperor."

Zhu Qiyu has been looking forward to the good news of Zhu Jiaomen's death.

"Your Majesty frowned, but because of the Xishan coal mine?" Xing'an asked after hesitating for a moment.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Yes, you are so bold! If you dare to break ground on the head of Emperor Taizong Wen, you are not afraid that Emperor Taizong Wen will have a dream at night and kill them."

Xing'an showed a smile and said: "The minister will do it. Lu Zhong is visiting everywhere. The kiln people are suffering. In fact, they don't know who they are working for. Brokers and compradors are rampant."

"But the minister knows."

"You know?" Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and became interested.

Xing'an felt that he was unqualified as a big peng, and His Majesty was the Son of Heaven, so he was troubled by these trivial matters all day long, and that was not something His Majesty should think about.

What His Majesty should consider is how to kill all the Oirats, how to revive the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, how to make the Ming Dynasty prosper forever, and how to have more children.

These nonsense things make His Majesty frown, it is the dereliction of duty of these courtiers.

He bowed his head and said: "I know a thing or two, let me handle it, and I will let your Majesty handle this matter before the Shangyuan Festival."

Xing'an wasn't talking big, he continued: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything about the fact that I control Yanxing Building. Other ministers in the capital don't dare to say it, but this Yanxing Building is the most well-informed."

Zhu Qiyu immediately understood that Xing'an should generally have some conclusive news, but it was news, not evidence.

He said to Xing'an very definitely: "Xing'an, only the country is the ship that leaks from the top."

This is a sentence he remembered when he was watching British dramas, but it has come true for Daming.

Even in accordance with the simplest clan etiquette, it is a crime of disrespect to go to the emperor's mausoleum to break ground and open a kiln.

But they not only open, but also make money unscrupulously.

Otherwise, the courtiers like Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen makes them make money, and makes money himself.

Xing'an thought about this sentence secretly, bowed his head and said: "What your majesty said is that I must have handled this matter properly."

Will the boat leak from the top?
Generally speaking, ships leak water from the bottom, but this ship of the country does not, it leaks from the top.

After Xing'an left the study, he saw Wang Meilin standing in front of the other courtyard door from a long distance, looking at the lights of the study, and when he saw Xing'an, he hurriedly waved and asked, "Does Your Majesty have any state affairs to worry about?"

I have heard this sentence from Xing'an countless times. Ever since His Majesty started supervising the country, Wang Meilin and Hang Xian have often stood in front of this courtyard, asking the same questions.

It was not easy for His Majesty to relax, and Wang Meilin, the husband-wife stone, finally turned into soft fingers.

Xing'an hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has no state affairs to worry about, and no courtiers to receive him. Today's memorial has also been approved. Your Majesty just thought about something, but he has figured it out. Empress Chitose, you can go now."

"Empress Qiansui can send a maidservant to guard her, she doesn't have to come every day."

Wang Meilin smiled and walked towards the study with a secret joy in the corner of her mouth, how could Xing'an understand women's thoughts?If you send a servant girl here, what if His Majesty takes a fancy to the servant girl?
She is happy to come here every day, and it is also wonderful to take a look at it from a distance every day, and her heart will be much more stable.

"Husband." Wang Meilin walked into the study, and walked up to Zhu Qiyu with a scent of fragrance, and saluted timidly.

She even had a smile in the corner of her eyes, and said timidly: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's congratulations."

"Zhen'an, stay flat." Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Meilin carefully. This pretty face was slightly like that of a sister-in-law, full of blushing, her eyes were like autumn water, and her big watery eyes were full of expectation. Lively and playful.

It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable today.
