People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 483 The emperor guards the country and announces the relocation of the capital
Lan Yue was startled by Chang Mao.

Everyone is crazy about it, but Lan Yu is still much more sensible than Chang Mao after all.

Chang Mao said:
"Uncle, don't worry, if he's on the ground, no matter how brave I am, I won't dare to touch him!

But if it's on the water, this guy is prey..."

"You mean, let him go south by water?"

"That's right, dad won't let me do meritorious service, but he will arrange for me to deal with the sundries. Uncle, if this kid goes south by boat, I promise to let him die on the way..."

The sea is vast and invisible, but Lan Yu seems to think it makes sense.

But he was motivated by reason and still persuaded Chang Mao not to do this.

Chang Mao patted his chest and said:
"I have my own sense of discretion. Uncle, please take good care of yourself..."

……

After the great victory, the Xuanwu Army immediately went south.

In order to hide this from the Yuan army, Zhu Yuanzhang used sea routes to transport many soldiers north.

Not to mention the Xuanwu Army, even the local garrison troops cannot leave their base for a long time.

Since the victory of the war, soldiers have begun to leave the northern border one after another.

Soldiers one by one began to leave, heading towards Zhejiang, so that they could experience the feeling of fighting at sea in advance.

When the large troops began to move, the reconstruction work of Yingtian Mansion also began.

Zhang Yi did not go outside to feel the joy of the people.

He is fulfilling his promise to Xu Da and making a three-dimensional picture.

This map is about 3X2 meters and needs to be reproduced to the same scale...

This project was probably only possible for him with a perverted memory.

Chang Yuchun and Xu Da visited him after they came back.

The two parties gathered for a while.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at the huge map made by Zhang Yi, and they were extremely shocked!

If you want to reproduce a three-dimensional map in equal proportions, it will be very difficult even in future generations, because it is purely handmade.

The material Zhang Yi used was cement, so the things he made must not be moved casually.

And no one else can help him, only he can make it himself.

This map is probably a topographic map of the entire China and surrounding areas, radiating to Japan and North Korea.

When Lao Chang and Xu Da saw the map, Zhang Yi only built a rough outline.

However, the real landscape of China still surprised them.

It turns out that the cities in Tubo are so high.

It turns out that there are not many truly plain areas in the Central Plains?

These things don't look impressive enough on a flat map, but with a three-dimensional terrain, Chang Yuchun and others can feel the difficulties of China.

But what concerned them most was which part of the map outside the customs.

This is the most important thing for their future expeditions.

"Arrange 1000 people from the Shenji Battalion to guard this place. No one is allowed to come near!"

A good map is no less than the highest military intelligence.

When Xu Da and Chang Yuchun saw half of the map made by Zhang Yi, they already understood its value.

"Your Majesty must also be greedy for this thing!"

Chang Yuchun almost wanted to wait for Zhang Yi to finish making the map, but he also knew that he couldn't stay long.

After Zhang Yi was jailed, Lao Chang took Guanyin Nu and Wang Baobao on their way back.

The journey was long and they took the water route.

When Guanyin Nu left Yingtian Mansion, she never saw Zhang Yi again.

Wang Baobao walked all the way and reached the seaside.

When he saw the huge ship, he couldn't help but gasp.

The Ming Dynasty's treasure ships are so big that people can't even imagine them.

"If Genghis Khan had such a treasure ship back then, why worry..."

He couldn't help but sigh a few words, but thinking of his identity at this time, he sighed quietly.

Guanyinnu glanced at his brother and said nothing.

After boarding the boat, the brother and sister looked at everything on the boat and thought it was a fantasy.

Guanyin Nu came over on a merchant ship from the north, but had never really been on a military ship. Wang Baobao was on it and saw the Xuanwu cannon.

Such a behemoth, something that could not be seen clearly when defending the city, was now clearly placed in front of us.

Wang Baobao suddenly became enlightened, as if he suddenly understood the optimal use of this artillery solution.

Naval warfare was a field he had never imagined.

"If Genghis Khan had been..."

Wang Baobao spoke a familiar sentence pattern again, but soon discovered his identity and became less interested.

"set off!"

"Xuanwu comes to the world, God bless the Ming Dynasty!"

At the dock and on the ship, the Ming Dynasty's army shared the joy. Wang Baobao and Guanyin Nu entered the deck with expressions full of disappointment.

……

"We won?"

Hangzhou, Zhejiang!
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, some people were kneeling.

He listened to the battle report coming from the front, and his face lit up with joy!

Win, win!
Lao Zhu looked back at Zhu Ping who had accompanied him down.

Zhu Xi's face also showed endless joy.

“In the battle of Beiping Prefecture, our army ambushed Wang Baobao, killed 11 enemies, and captured a total of [-] prisoners...

In the battle of Kaiping Prefecture, General Chang Yuchun broke through the city, killed [-] enemies, and captured more than [-] enemy troops!
In Taiyuan, our army defeated the Yuan army and killed [-] enemies...

Henan…”

When the news of victory was reported one by one, the officials present were also full of surprises.

"Wang Baobao, the king of Qi in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, was captured and was being escorted down by General Chang himself..."

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, looking happy and angry.

The officials who followed the emperor on the southern tour looked at each other in confusion.

Is Lao Zhu's love for Wang Baobao known to the world?

What is he going to do now?

"I am right here to welcome my heroes returning from the north!"

With Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became more lively.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not wait too long. The ships going down the ocean current were faster than going north.

At the dock in Cixi, the emperor personally went out to welcome him.

Waiting for Chang Yuchun to return.

"Xuanwu comes to the world, God bless the Ming Dynasty!"

As the big ship came up against the mountain, cheers spread throughout the pier.

Chang Yuchun, Mu Ying and others came down first.

Kneel before the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to not be disgraced!"

"Okay, okay, okay, you are all my heroes and the Ming Dynasty's heroes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile never stopped.

He said to Chang Yuchun:

"Yuchun, you have worked hard, I will reward you based on your merits!
Let the returning soldiers have a good rest first, and I will reward the three armies! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The conversation between the monarch and his ministers infected the people around them, and cheers continued.

This victory is just a victory for the people.

But from a high-level perspective, they understood the significance of this great victory in the war.

After losing the threat in the north, Ming Dynasty will have a lot of energy allocated to fully support the battlefields in other places.

Although since the founding of the People's Republic of China, wars have been going on on almost all borders of the Ming Dynasty. ,
But only the Mongols are the real threat. "Your Majesty, I also captured the Mongolian King Baobao of Qi. Your Majesty, would you like to meet this strange man?"

Chang Yuchun deliberately emphasized the tone of the strange man, and Lao Zhu glared at him.

Is this bastard trying to make a fool of himself in front of him?

Lao Zhu's eyes followed Chang Yuchun.

A man wearing Mongolian clothing was escorted down.

There was a woman beside him who was charming and charming. She was the Guanyin slave whom Lao Zhu had not seen for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes instantly fell on that man.

The sunshine in Mobei made the King of Qi's skin as dark as those of the Mongols.

But Wang Baobao doesn't have much of the unique Mongolian temperament.

This is probably related to the education he received from the Han family, which makes him look different from the nobles in Mobei.

Lao Zhu didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. He just walked up to Wang Baobao and said:
"King Qi, I have admired you for a long time!"

"Humph!"

Wang Baobao would not give Zhu Yuanzhang a good look, so he just snorted coldly:

"A successful king or a defeated bandit, His Majesty the Emperor's good tactics, I admire Timur's expansion..."

It's only because I'm stupid and look down on everyone in the world that I fell into your scheme.
It ruined my future in Dayuan in vain. "

It's really uncomfortable to admit this to yourself.

The look of despair in Wang Baobao's eyes became even stronger.

He was supposed to be the person who would revive Dayuan, but he ended Dayuan's future with his own hands.

If the Battle of Lingbei only interrupted the Ming army's determination to march to the north of the palace, the Battle of Peiping had completely eliminated the possibility of the Mongols taking over the Central Plains.

In the future, Dayuan will only get worse and worse, with absolutely no room for improvement.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled gently when he heard this:
"His Royal Highness King Qi is also worthy of it, I have spent a lot of effort to win you!

Even the future capital of the Ming Dynasty is willing to use it for fishing!

Your Highness, Prince Qi, should not underestimate yourself..."

The future capital of the Ming Dynasty?
Lao Zhu Qing's calm words were like thunder in the ears of the people around him...

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to move the capital, and he never concealed his thoughts.

But where to move the capital?

When to move the capital, these are relatively secret matters.

The emperor's words were tantamount to publicly announcing that he was about to move the capital, and the direction of the move was to Beiping...

Beiping Mansion, the future capital?
The emperor wants to move the capital to the north?

Zhu Yuanzhang's southern tour this time, although Zhu Biao and some senior officials from Zhongshu Province did not follow him.

But there are many senior officials following him.

Many people stared in disbelief.

Soon, they lowered their heads and started talking.

"Moving the capital to Beiping Mansion...

This is the emperor's duty to guard the country. Your Majesty has a good idea! "

Peiping was the capital of the former dynasty, and this place itself is not bad as a capital.

But the capital that the Mongols could choose does not mean that the Ming Dynasty could choose it.

Beiping Mansion is too close to the border. The only disadvantage is that the foreign troops from the north are approaching the city.

As an emperor and a dynasty.

Moving the capital here was definitely not a wise move in Wang Baobao's opinion.

"The emperor guards the country, I like this sentence!"

Lao Zhu laughed loudly when he heard this. The first time he heard this sentence was from Zhang Yi's mouth.

Now Wang Baobao also talks about it, and Zhu Yuanzhang likes it even more.

"I, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, should guard the country as the emperor myself!"

Lao Zhu's words were a personal admission. He wanted to move the capital to Peking. All the officials changed their expressions upon hearing this, but the emperor's words had already been spoken. How could they dare to refute him face to face?

Wang Baobao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly. This was his first time meeting the emperor of the Zhu family.

He has his own evaluation of this person.

But whether it is good or bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang's first impression on him was more shocking than he imagined.

The emperor guards the country's gates. How many kings have dared to do this since ancient times?
With this kind of courage, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a wise master.

"King Qi is tired, go and rest first! I will come find you later..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was like a friend and treated Wang Baobao with great courtesy.

Wang Baobao wanted to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, so he scolded Zhu Yuanzhang and asked for his pleasure.

But after Lao Zhu's actions, he himself was also brought into rhythm.

When the Jin Yiwei escorted him off, Wang Baobao realized that his first meeting with Zhu Yuanzhang had been completely led by others.

He turned back and looked at the emperor who was gradually walking towards the heights to comfort people.

At the wharf of Cixi, the joyous scenes of the Xuanwu Army and the people of Zhejiang made Wang Baobao unable to calm down for a long time.

The prosperous age, this should be the case, right?
No matter what you do, you will be successful.

Wang Baobao was helpless and was escorted away by the Jinyi Guards.

……

"What is that kid doing?"

night!
The celebration in the army was not over yet, but a few people from the power center of the Ming Dynasty had gone to a quiet place to drink.

Chang Yuchun, Mu Ying...

And Zhu Xi, who has always been with the emperor.

Lao Zhu listened to Chang Yuchun talking about the front line and details about the battlefield. Although he had never been to the battlefield, his blood boiled with excitement.

But regarding what happened after the war, Chang Yuchun mentioned Zhang Yi.

"He will make another three-dimensional map for Xu Da..."

Chang Yuchun reported these things to the emperor with an envious look.

In fact, Jin Yiwei had already reported it, but after hearing it from Chang Yuchun, Lao Zhu still listened with interest.

"Looking back, I will also ask him to make one for me..."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and agreed softly.

He had a map of the world, but it was flat.

He, Old Zhu, had never enjoyed the three-dimensional landscape of mountains and rivers.

"Your Majesty has decided to recognize him?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly:
"It has been more than six years. I should have known him three years ago, but Zhang's normal reaction made me hesitate again!
Zhang Yi’s contribution is no less than yours!
I can’t turn a blind eye…”

Chang Yuchun heard this and was sincerely happy for Zhang Yi.

"Then your Majesty is prepared to grant the title of Heavenly Master to Longhu Mountain?"

Chang Yuchun had communicated with Zhang Yi many times, so he naturally knew about this public case.

The fate of Zhang Yi and Zhu Yuanzhang began when the emperor deprived Zhang Chenggong of his title of Heavenly Master.

According to his idea, since they recognized each other, Zhang Yi's achievements over the years were worthy of the title of Heavenly Master.

"That boy said that since the Heavenly Master is the national master, I am waiting to see how he can become the national master of my Ming Dynasty..."

Lao Zhu's words made Chang Yuchun roll his eyes.

Lao Zhu would give someone the title of National Preceptor?
Don't even think about this matter. As Lao Zhu's confidant, he naturally understands the inexplicable importance the emperor attaches to this kind of status.

Maybe in the eyes of other emperors, it was just a false name.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was different. He said that by blocking the way for heroes with foreign surnames to be crowned kings, we can know how much the emperor valued "status."

What extraordinary achievements must Zhang Yi make to obtain the title of National Master?
"Your Majesty, just tell him there is no hope..."

Chang Yuchun was outspoken and Lao Zhu was not angry at his words.

It's just that he didn't get entangled in this matter, but smiled faintly:
"Let's not talk about him first, let's talk about your family...

Chang Yuchun..."

There was no emotion or anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, but Chang Yuchun's hair stood on end instantly.
