The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 238

The capital of Beiping has long been emptied.

From the inside to the outside, from the top to the bottom, they are all their own people, and it is impossible to talk about who is ostracizing others. Everyone works for the palace.

And now the commander of the Beiping capital is none other than Chen Heng, the former commander of the Yanshan Zuowei, the commander of the Beiping capital, and the current commander of the Peking capital.

After Chen Heng left Daning, the people who took care of the capital of Beiping were also from Yan Wangfu. Beiping commanded Tong Zhi, and moved the old generals who guarded Daning from Beiping.

Chen Heng came to Shizi Mansion in person, and Zhu Gaochi came forward to greet him.

"Congratulations, little prince."

When Chen Heng saw Zhu Gaochi face to face, he said with a smile on his face, and the closeness of the two was clearly visible, which made the entourage of both parties more harmonious.

Zhu Gaochi asked knowingly, "Where does joy come from?"

"The little prince's birthright is already being arranged by Ying Tianfu, and we will announce it when the angel arrives in Beiping."

Of course Zhu Gaochi knew about this gossip.

The origin of the gossip has existed since ancient times, and it can be said to have a long history. As a person involved, Zhu Gaochi took it for granted that he didn't know.

"Haha, Dudu Chen must be entertained at that time." Zhu Gaochi admitted directly without too much politeness.

The two walked while talking, and quickly entered the living room. Afterwards, people took their seats, and Xiaohuangmen served tea.

All of a sudden, the cup lid and the teacup made a crisp knocking sound, which was actually a pleasant sound, filling the hall with joyful atmosphere.

Zhu Gaochi took a sip of tea, and then put the teacup on the desk beside him. Seeing the action of the little prince, the rest of the people also fell silent.

"Kaiping is outside the Great Wall and is an important military base. It is the gateway to defend our northern border. Due to the scarcity of materials and limited scale, although the development has been effective, it cannot be self-sufficient and needs supplies from the mainland."

"Now that Beiping is prosperous and strong, with abundant supplies, I should continue to expand outwards, but it is difficult to do things, and there are always people who oppose it."

Zhu Gaochi sighed.

Hearing the little prince's words, Chen Heng also felt touched, but in the end he was the commander and had a high awareness, so he spoke tactfully.

"Everything has a system. In the early stage of creation, for example, when Xu Gong regained Beiping, everything came first. Now that the dynasty has been in power for nearly 30 years, the law is gradually improving."

"As the little prince always said, there is a limit to everything. In the same way, when doing things, you can't do what you want, there are many restrictions."

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Chen Henggao. There are not many people who can say such words. The guards of Beiping, such as Qiu Fu and other veterans, can never say such words.

Qiu Funeng intervened in the matter of the future successor of King Yan, and even personally supported Zhu Gaoxu, bluntly saying that Zhu Gaoxu should be the prince.

It can be seen that this person's political sensitivity is very low.

Chen Heng was able to stand out from the many generals of the Yanshan Guard and become a high-ranking noble general. He really had a few brushes.

Including his performance during the Battle of Jingnan, he was clearly labeled as the Yanshan clan, and he was the object of "liquidation" by the court.

However, unlike the rest of the generals of the Yanshan family, they did not choose to surrender voluntarily, but half-pushed and half-resigned, requiring Zhu Di to lead an army to persecute him, and then leave the city in the name of surrender.

Although it was in the name of surrender, it did not actually reduce the credit of this person, and he was still treated as a surrender.

From a fair point of view, this person's political sensitivity is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people.

After all, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, taking the initiative to submit to the King of Yan for rebellion and passively submitting to the King of Yan for rebellion have different views in the minds of the next generation of rulers.

But it's not right to say that Chen Heng's selfishness is greater than the public one.

In the Battle of Jingnan, this person made great contributions. In one of the key battles of Baigouhe, Chen Heng fought to the death and almost died in battle. Later, he died of illness due to his serious injuries.

Therefore, Chen Heng was also one of the earliest heroes who became the Duke of the country.

It can be seen that Chen Heng has his own way of doing things, is sensitive to politics, and is a very smart person.

If it wasn't for his premature death, his achievements might not be lower than others, and the ranking of Jing Nan's heroes would not stop at eighth.

Zhu Gaochi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and after sorting out his thoughts, he became more and more enthusiastic about Chen Heng. This person used to be in Daning, so the two parties did not have much contact with each other, and only met once.

Unlike Tang Yunqiufu and other generals of the Yanshan Guard, they have been acquainted for a long time like a family.

Friendship, naturally, the more we interact, the deeper the relationship.

"What Chen Dudu said is very true. Everything has its own limits and needs to follow the imperial court's system. Therefore, I need to ask Chen Dudu for Kaiping Tuowei. As for the supply, the capital and China Heavy Industries can be solely responsible."

Chen Heng was stunned, he couldn't believe it, and reminded: "Tuo Wei's expenses are not a small amount, does the little prince understand?"

Zhu Gaochi did not speak big words, but chose to speak out.

"China Heavy Industry has gained a lot of convenience and used many rules since its development. Although it is not a competition with the people, it has indeed enjoyed a lot of benefits. It is the responsibility of China Heavy Industry to take from the people and use it for the people. .”

China Heavy Industry has not paid taxes to the government so far, and it does not have to bear the expenses of the health center.

Daming's commercial tax is very low, but its hidden costs are very high, while China Heavy Industry does not, and it is a giant in Beiping.

"Supporting Kaiping's expansion of guards means that China Heavy Industry has paid taxes for the country." Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Chen Heng was speechless, with a complex expression on his face.

With a deeper understanding of the impression of the little prince, after a long time, after realizing it, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up and said in admiration: "The little prince is so righteous!"

Since King Gu was transferred back to the country, the ownership of Kaiping logically returned to the capital of Beiping.

However, due to historical inertia, the two have not yet connected. It belongs to the intention of Lang Youqing's concubine, but it has not yet pierced the window paper.

If the capital of Beiping takes the lead in Kaiping's expansion, he will take back the management right, and both parties will be happy, and there will be no twists and turns.

Many major events will be lost in the details. Chen Heng was very happy with the young prince's decision, reciprocated, and proposed the matter of spring and summer training.

Every year, the guards have a large drill, which is not only a means of reviewing the guards in peacetime, but also can improve morale, so that the military households who farm in the guards can remember that they are soldiers.

Yan Wang Zhu Di has not returned from Liaodong, and going out of Liao is not a big battle, so Chen Heng has been hesitating.

Whether the Dusi should initiate it on his own, or wait for King Yan to come back, or simply give up this year's big drill, now has a new decision.

Even if the little prince is not a prince, he does not have this status and rights, but Chen Heng is willing to "support".

Zhu Gaochi was very happy with Chen Heng's political sensitivity. This person's idea really touched his "key area".

One thousand sentences to express one's position and ten thousand sentences to express one's position are not so people who support him to lead this year's Beiping Weisuo big drill.

in a few days.

The capital of Beiping has done two major things. The first thing is to release the memorial to the imperial court, and the second thing is to distribute the local guards. The spring and summer exercises of Hongwu 28 are about to start, and the guards must not neglect.

"The prince is not in Beiping, how dare Chen Heng do this? Why, after leaving Beiping for many years, I have forgotten his last name and what he wants to do!"

Tang Yun was furious.

Zhang Yu watched coldly.

Chen Xian said: "Since the lord is not in Beiping, I think it's better to let go of the spring and summer drills."

At this time, Chen Heng didn't mention Zhu Gaochi's matter, as if what he said in Shizi's mansion last time was a polite remark.

Most of the Beiping guards did not support Chen Heng's decision, and there were also many people who opposed it openly.

Overnight, Peking fell into chaos.

"Little prince, does this person have a different heart?" Jin Zhong worried, knowing people and faces but not heart, he and Chen Heng had never dealt with each other before Chen Heng was transferred back to Beiping from Daning.

Although Chen Heng is the leader of Yan Shanwei, time can change people's hearts the most.

"To be honest, I don't understand." History is history, but people's hearts cannot be written by history.

Zhu Gaochi doubted: "Could it be that he wants to test the prestige of the palace's guards in Beiping? If the prestige is low and he can dispatch the guards smoothly, he will take advantage of the situation and take over the military power in Beiping?"

Based on the impression that I have been in contact with Chen Heng, this person possesses this city.

If this is the case, then this person has to guard against it. Some plans in the future will have to be temporarily adjusted, which is very troublesome.

In short.

The attitude of the three Yanshan guards affected the surrounding guards and gave other guards the basis to speak. Let's talk about the change of the attitude of the three Yanshan guards.

When Zhu Gaochi was about to be impatient, Beiping Dusi suddenly threw out the news that the little prince and Peiping Dusi jointly inspected.

After learning about it, many people lost their sense of proportion and didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhu Gaochi was facing a decision for the first time, and he was a little undecided.

All the people from the Changshi Mansion came to Zhu Gaochi. After discussing with Ge Cheng, Jin Zhong and Ge Cheng finally came to a conclusion.

"This person is either taking advantage of the trend to test the prestige of the palace in Beiping, or to justify his reputation. Because of the attitude of the guards, he supports the little prince to preside over the drill. In this way, if someone in the court blames him later, he will also have Reasonable."

Combining this person's performance in history, Zhu Gaochi understood a little bit, and said bitterly: "This person is really impeccable in his work."

"It also shows the talent of this person. If he can turn his heart to the palace, then the palace can be considered to have obtained a talent who can be alone."

Ge Cheng admired this person very much.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Ge Cheng, and understood that what this person just said came from his position.

The expansion of Kaiping's guards has not yet come to fruition. Yingtian Mansion first decided on the important affairs of the princes.

Those who give marriages are given marriages, and those who are rewarded are rewarded.

Not to mention the rest of the prince's mansion, but in Yan Wang's mansion, Zhu Gaochi was granted the crown prince, Zhu Gaosui was appointed the king of Gaoyang County, and Zhu Gaosui was too young to be named.

The eldest sister, Zhu Yuying, was made the Princess of Yong'an and married Yuan Rong, the guest of honor of the clan's mansion. Because Yuan Rong has no official status, the royal family bestowed status and rank on her.

The eldest sister was appointed as Princess Yongping and married Yibin Li Rang. This was something that caught the palace by surprise, and it was not prepared at all.

Zhu Yuegui cried with tears all over his face, and threw himself into his mother's arms, weeping bitterly, not wishing to marry.
