Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 225 His Royal Highness Liao Wang is a real fairy-like figure
Those ministers could all see it clearly, knowing that Wang Chuanqi would definitely be famous in history, at least more famous than people like himself, so those contemptuous hearts were put away at once.

But Wang Chuanqi himself was not so conscious.

Seeing His Royal Highness Liao came to the port to greet him in person, he was also sincere and fearful, and immediately climbed off the ship, then saluted and bowed to His Highness, and said with a frightened expression on his face:

"Your Highness, why did you come here to greet him in person? You really are the last general!"

Naturally, Zhu Qi didn't take these polite words to heart. He took Wang Chuanqi's hand with a smile and walked back, saying as he walked:
"With your merits, it's only right for the king to greet you in person. Stop talking about that, and tell me what you have learned during your trip to America this time."

Zhu Qi was naturally very interested in what Wang Chuanqi had seen, heard and experienced in the American continent.

And what Wang Chuanqi likes most is to tell others about his experience in the American continent.

When the two of them met, that was the time when they were going to chat.

After returning to the mansion, Zhu Qi asked the servants next to him to leave, leaving only a historian to record what Wang Chuanqi said.

Then listened to his story.

This time I went to America, of course I still took the previous route. According to the current technology, I can only hope to reach the American continent by going along the coast and crossing the Bering Strait.

And with the experience of going to the American continent last time, Wang Chuanqi also probably knows when is the most suitable time to cross the Bering Strait.

At the beginning of autumn last year, I led the fleet from the strait to the ice cap and headed towards the American continent.

On the way there, those Jurchen tribes naturally welcomed them very much.

How dare they not welcome it?

Now the power of Ming Dynasty has expanded more and more, Liaodong has been controlled by Ming Dynasty, and the entire Koryo Peninsula is now in chaos.

And one of the forces gradually rising is the puppet supported by Daming.

As the Jurchen family closest to Goryeo, if they wanted to live a more nourishing life in the future, it would have to depend on Daming's face.

What's more, the relationship between Jurchen and the current Beiyuan is quite tense, and Daming and Beiyuan are sworn enemies.

They also understand the principle that an enemy's enemy is a friend, and they are naturally quite close to Daming now.

Although Zhu Qi was very afraid of the Jurchen clan because he knew the history.

If possible, I still hope to completely solve the Jurchen disaster.and possible adverse effects in the future.

Helplessly, his current sphere of influence still cannot touch Jurchen's side, and the fleet going to the American continent now depends on Jurchen's side for supplies.

But for the Jurchens, Zhu Qi has a whole set of methods waiting to arrange them.

And this time, the number of people Wang Chuanqi brought to the American expedition far exceeded the previous ones. He brought nearly 2000 Ming soldiers and nearly 10 warships.

With such a huge fleet, it is really crushed wherever it goes.

Those indigenous tribes in America, the so-called Indians, needless to say, no matter how strong their military virtues are, seeing that Daming's naval force is well-equipped and has a large number of people, they all become The hospitality was great.

After all, people, even though they speak different languages ​​in this world, their nature of fear of death is still the same. Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is something that everyone will do. Otherwise, how could people have survived until now?

And Wang Chuanqi did not forget his mission, besides collecting local customs, special crops, and some strange customs along the way.

It is to communicate effectively with those natives, and the purpose of communication is naturally to hope that they will send envoys to pay tribute to Daming.

Zhu Qi's plan, at the beginning, was naturally to reform and assimilate these indigenous tribes into tributary countries, on the basis of tributary countries, in education, economy, culture, politics and other aspects.

As the so-called tribute is an advanced form of alliance.

Once the status of these tributary countries is stable, it is natural to form an offensive and defensive alliance with them.

Isn't it easy to merge into one country in the end?

Wang Chuanqi did this matter very well, and did not disclose anything. Even if there was, it was just a matter of intimidating two wars.

But in front of a terrifying navy like Daming, the fighting power of those natives is really not enough.

Even if some indigenous people with twitchy heads want to be hostile to Daming, it will take a day or two for them to move their heads.

The loss of manpower on Daming's side is naturally very small. Except for the loss of three people in the war, most of the rest were due to illness or other accidents. In short, most of the soldiers were brought back intact.

Of course, this is also thanks to His Royal Highness King Liao asking them to bring more tea, because septicemia has always been one of the culprits that took away sailors in the age of great voyages during long-distance voyages, and Chinese tea can effectively prevent septicemia.

Of course, I told Wang Chuanqi and the others that they didn't understand the principle of sepsis and how to prevent it, but just remember to drink some tea every day.

Zhu Qi listened to Wang Chuanqi talking about each tribe, and it was not a waste of time to invite those tribe leaders.

Although everyone is unable to speak the language, after a few months of getting along, simple communication is still possible.

And Wang Chuanqi also learned some simple Indian languages, but more of them are still teaching Chinese to the local indigenous tribes.

Wang Chuanqi also received Confucian education. In his opinion, this is also a way of spreading Confucianism and educating the world. Naturally, he has worked very hard.

Thanks to the efforts of Wang Chuanqi and the others, many smart natives, that is, Indians, have learned some simple daily Chinese expressions.

However, considering the difficulty of Chinese, it is obviously unrealistic to want to master the language art of Chinese in a few months.

Even with native Chinese speakers like Wang Chuanqi as practice subjects, it is impossible to chat with them every day.

It will take at least two or three years before we can achieve barrier-free communication.

But Zhu Qi still has plenty of time now, not to mention that the work of the great navigation is just the beginning, so there is no need to rush it.

In addition to these stories along the way, the most important thing is that Wang Chuanqi brought back about 20 leaders or spokespersons of indigenous tribes from the Americas.

The purpose of their coming to Ming Dynasty was naturally to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Although they are dressed in very primitive and weird ways, the aesthetics of feathers on their heads is naturally incomprehensible.

But after seeing them, Zhu Qi felt a little cordial.

After all, I have watched so many movies about wild America on TV, and the introduction of Indians, etc., and now I suddenly see real Indians appearing in front of my eyes, it is naturally very kind, and there is a saying I don't know the way, I always feel that this time and space is really wonderful.

Naturally, Wang Chuanqi also tried to make them wear Han clothes, but most of these attempts ended in failure.

Even the clothes they wear are not very neat in terms of regulations, but rather nondescript.

And they prefer to pass on their traditional costumes, and Wang Chuanqi respects their wish very much.

After all, His Royal Highness Liao Wang has already greeted them, try to communicate with them in a peaceful way, not in a brutal and violent way, they will naturally not disobey His Royal Highness Liao Wang.

After Zhu Qi listened to what Wang Chuanqi said, he followed him to meet the leaders and spokespersons of the Indians.

The leaders and spokespersons of the Indians obviously knew that Zhu Qi, King of the Liao Dynasty, was a remarkable figure.

Although he didn't understand the specific position, but seeing the respectful expressions of the people around him, they were all terrified. Then, under the attention of the other navy soldiers, they knelt down one after another and used weird words to His Royal Highness Liao Wang. The accent yelled.

"Foreign ministers have seen His Royal Highness King Liao."

Good guy, it's really indescribably weird.

And Zhu Qi also smiled in his heart, and didn't take it seriously. Obviously, these Ming soldiers trained these indigenous leaders and spokespersons very well.

I believe that when it is sent to Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be disappointed.

In addition to these diplomatic matters, Wang Chuanqi also brought back some seeds that Zhu Qi asked for by name.

For example, chili peppers are also a specialty of South America.

However, the early primitive peppers were still very weird, but at this time, the indigenous Indians had already begun to try to cultivate modern pepper varieties.

Moreover, the effect of cultivation is still very good. The Western world used to directly use the age of great voyages to bring back finished peppers, and after some improvements, they became modern peppers.

So when Zhu Qi saw the chili that Wang Chuanqi took out, it was actually not that different from what he was eating now. There were red chili peppers, which were of course very spicy, and green green peppers, which were mainly for coloring. Titian, it's not very spicy as an accessory.

There are also some weird fruits that cannot be named, but Zhu Qi did not dare to try them. After all, although Wang Chuanqi and the others said that the Indians eat these things on a daily basis, they have never seen them and dare not eat them. If something goes wrong with eating, that's not good.

And these peppers are naturally good materials for the common people to grow, and enriching them is something that King Daming should also do.

But now the most important thing for ordinary people is to fill their stomachs. Compared with peppers, it is more practical to order sweet potatoes, corns and potatoes. After all, these are staple foods that can fill their stomachs, but peppers are not considered staple foods. Ah, it doesn't make you hungry.

But if you don’t have anything to do, plant a little bit, and it’s okay to cook. Stir-fried shredded pork with chili is really a very fragrant dish.

Wang Chuanqi came to his side just on the way, and Wang Chuanqi's final destination was to go to Yingtian Mansion to report to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so when these foreign envoys came to pay tribute, they must be looking for Zhu Yuanzhang to pay tribute, and it was never their turn to pay tribute to Zhu Qi.

And after Zhu Qi understood the situation and made Wang Chuanqi clean up, he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, in order to prevent the truth from falling into place.

That afternoon, Wang Chuanqi continued to set sail and headed for Yingtian Mansion.

Even if it is said that others said why Wang Chuanqi came to King Liao first, it can also be said that he came to replenish.

After all, the route to the American continent is so far away, and it has taken more than a year to go back and forth. If I don’t go to Liaodong to replenish and go straight to Yingtianfu, what should I do if something happens? It is also reasonable to say it.

Zhu Qi is careful in doing things, which is of course beneficial. Just as he thought, there are these ministers in the court, who can't bear the loneliness, and think of ways to trouble Zhu Qi all day long. When they heard that Wang Chuanqi, the commander of the navy, , unexpectedly went to His Royal Highness Liao Wang's side first, and then came to Yingtian Mansion.

That's when I started writing articles.

Ah, what do you mean by Wang Chuanqi?He used to be a subordinate of His Royal Highness King Liao, so don't you take the emperor seriously?It is His Majesty's order that you go to America to explore, and you actually did not go to see the emperor first, but instead met the King of Liao.

If you want to change to another dynasty, this will naturally cause big problems.

Naturally, there is no trust between the emperor and the prince, and there is no relationship between father and son in the matter of fighting for power and profit. But whenever this kind of thing happens, it is really life and death, but it is very different in the Ming Dynasty. What are the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty?
That is the kindness of the father and the love of the son, and the respect of brothers and friends.

Of course, the relationship between uncle and nephew will not be discussed, it has always been very tense.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the reason for impeachment, he couldn't help laughing, but behind the smile was a monstrous anger.

The third child of my family has already worked so hard to contribute to Daming, and you courtiers, do nothing every day, just stare at the third child of my family who impeaches this one and that impeachment every day.

What kind of fairy is the third child of my family? He fought against Wang Baobao on the grassland and guarded Yi Naiji. Not only that, he also found such artifacts as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Although I haven’t planted them yet, what is the specific yield of this seed? Just looking at the situation in Liaodong, you can tell that it is already an extraordinary seed. The third child of my family has made so many contributions. Not only do you not have any thoughts of gratitude, but you are seriously injured here and there. You can bear it. bear it.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally got angry and sent all the ministers who impeached Zhu Qi to jail.

Let the Jin Yiwei step up the interrogation to see if there is someone deliberately making a fuss behind it.

The ministers who made things difficult for His Royal Highness the Liao King were dumbfounded when they heard it.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had a hot temper in the past, he could still listen to the advice of ministers.

Even if the words are ugly, Zhu Yuanzhang will not take any special actions.Or persecute those ministers who wrote a letter,

But now because His Royal Highness Liao was so furious, all those who wrote a letter were locked up, and they might be sent to the frontier in the future.

It can be seen that Zhu Qi, king of Liao Dynasty, was favored.

This kid is so scary!
