The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 313 Liu Ying's Ambition - Slave Soldiers
Zhu Gaochi looked at the letter in his hand.

Standing beside him was Zhang Quan, the chief steward of the Shizi Mansion, who was the long follower of the year.

"Vice Envoy Mo's sudden defection to our palace, is he sincere? Do you want to observe for a while?"

"It should be true, but it doesn't hurt to observe more."

Zhu Gaochi said calmly.

He knew Mo Lin.

In history, this person took refuge in King Yan.

So, when Zhu Yunqi was dealing with the King of Yan, Zhu Di, he first mobilized the officials from Beiping, and there was nothing wrong with this move.

Because it is true that many officials have taken refuge in Zhu Di.

Not only senior officials like Mo Lin, but also many mid-level and lower-level officials, including many officials.

This is the influence of Zhu Di's administration in Beiping for many years, and Zhu Yuanzhang's decree to increase Zhu Di's power every few years.

Ever since Zhu Di made contributions, his power has been unstoppable.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not hesitate.

in his mind.

The eldest son broke his heart and left him early.

The second son is a prodigal son, and he has long since given up on him.

The third child is useless and cannot be counted on.

Only the fourth child.

In history, starting from Zhu Di's first expedition with troops, he has made one achievement after another.

He will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. How can Zhu Yuanzhang, who has experienced many disappointments, not care about such a son who fights for face.

If Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't count on Zhu Di, who can Zhu Di count on?
So Zhu Yuanzhang gradually reused Zhu Di.

The more Zhu Di was reused, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Di more reuse every time Zhu Di answered perfectly.

Until this time when Zhu Di was ordered to patrol the border, the scope exceeded Beiping.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi speculates whether Mo Lin's intention is to make friends with the palace. The original Zhu Gaochi lacks prestige, so Mo Lin must go directly to Zhu Di.

But it's different now, so it's a good way for Mo Lin to convey it by himself.

"It seems that many people from the imperial court are already eyeing us." Zhu Gaochi put down the letter, stood up and stretched.

Since I was a teenager, I dealt with countless official documents every day, and even reduced the time for exercise.

Even at this point today, I can't help myself.

got used to.

"Those people don't want others to feel better." Zhang Quan was very angry.

"With the current power of the father, they are negligent because they don't care, but don't care, we will do our own things well."

Zhu Gaochi walked a few steps in the study, then stared at the map hanging on the wall.

The guards of Beiping, the guards of Kaiping, the guards of Daning, Shixiaying... Jinzhou Guard, Zhu Gaochi's eyes fell on Liaodong.

"What's going on in Prince Ning's Mansion and Prince Liao's Mansion recently?"

"Prince Ning's Mansion has voices of dissatisfaction with the current situation, but it's not a serious problem, but Prince Liao's Mansion can't see clearly."

There are three princes in Liaodong.

King Liao, King Han, and King Shen.

But at present, only King Liao is in the vassal. The other two vassal kings are too young and are still raised in Yingtian Mansion.

If the history remains unchanged, the latter two princes will not have the chance to take over.

Therefore, in the huge Liaodong, the main opponent is only the King of Liao.

This prince who is one year older than himself.

"How is the princess?"

"A few days ago, Mr. Guo sent a lot of Liaodong specialties. After the concubine Shizi accepted it, she talked a lot with the old man over there, and I heard that she shed tears."

"Crying?" Zhu Gaochi frowned.

"The maids said that the concubine is homesick."

"Since the concubine is homesick, let the concubine go home to visit her relatives for a day."

"This?"

Zhang Quan was shocked.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "The concubine Shizi has good moral character and is really a good wife. She is sad and homesick, so how can I ignore her."

"This is against the rules, I'm afraid the princess won't be able to persuade her."

"Let me go and talk."

If you want to control Liaodong, you cannot do without the Guo family.

The days are not long.

It would be good to have one more point. If the Guo family stood in line with the palace, at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers could be brought to the palace.

Even if the Guo family remains neutral, the power he developed in Jinzhou will grow more easily.

Not to mention that in the Battle of Jingnan, the troops from Liaodong to quell the chaos made it difficult for Zhu Di to take care of both ends, and it took a lot of effort.

If these problems can be solved, the power of the palace will increase by one point, and the power of the imperial court will weaken by one point, and the result will be very different.

soon.

Mo Lin, the deputy envoy of the procuratorate, was promoted to the chief envoy of the procuratorate, filling the vacancy left by the original Wang Li.

Jiang Yande, the deputy of the procuratorate, was promoted to be the secretary of the procuratorate, filling the position of Yuan Gaomian after his death.

This low-level official has finally made his way from being a prison secretary after many years.

Now you can be called a high-ranking official, with a brighter future and a bigger pool of struggle.

On the street at the gate of the Wangfu, many carriages were parked.

Guo Cailian had mixed feelings in her heart.

The husband should feel sorry for her. Who can have this blessing, she really wants to go home and see her parents and brothers.

I have prepared more than a dozen carts of gifts, all ordered by my husband.

But suddenly she didn't want to go anymore.

Although the number of times she saw her husband in the palace was small, she was finally able to see her. This time she went out for a few days, and Guo Cailian felt sad when she thought that she would not see her husband.

Guo Cailian is indeed an infatuated woman.

Although politics is low, in short not smart enough.

The convoy finally set off.

Under the banner of Wangfu, a special train has already stopped at Beiping Railway Station.

On the train, Guo Cailian looked out the window curiously.

When I was not married to the palace, Beiping changed a lot. I didn't expect that Beiping would have new changes every year.

On both sides of the railway, there are several group building areas.

The tall buildings, spacious roads, unique water towers, and the school and library buildings were also seen.

"Many houses have been repaired, and a lot of land has been occupied." Guo Cailian said curiously.

"This was originally a wasteland."

A local maid explained.

"That's good."

Guo Cailian laughed.

These uncultivable wastelands will be used by farmers 400 years later, because the sweet potato introduced in the late Ming Dynasty has spread to this area.

Another 600 years.

The people were organized to fight against the sky, and water conservancy projects were launched across the country, and reservoirs were built one after another.

This piece of wasteland used to grow sweet potatoes has been transformed into fertile land.

Either increase the yield of the field, or increase the number of acres.

There are two ways to increase agricultural output.

Sweet potatoes allowed the Qing Dynasty to increase the number of acres, and those wastelands were developed to grow sweet potatoes.

Relying on advanced organizational power, New China turned wasteland into fertile fields without shortage of water and irrigation, and replaced the cultivation of sweet potatoes.

The importance of sweet potatoes has gradually withdrawn from the center of the stage of the times.

Tianjin Railway Station.

The staff had already made preparations for the reception, and the stewards went out in person.

Guo Cailian boarded the carriage under the service of the mother and maid.

The carriage drove directly from the platform to the pier.

There are also vehicles carrying gifts, followed by nearly a hundred guards, plus the carriages in which the mothers and maids are riding, the team is very long.

Tianjin's wharf was also received by officials.

At the pier, the rest of the ships were routed to other piers.

A specially cleaned sea ship is docked.

It was even repainted to make it brighter. It was contracted by China Heavy Industry, but the big businessman directly paid for it and gave it to the Wangfu.

Three of the Jinzhou Navy warships that came from Jinzhou stayed beside them, and they would escort the ship of the Crown Princess through Liaodong Bay to Guangning City.

Many smart people smell a political smell.

A lot of attention was paid to the move of the crown prince to go home to visit her relatives.

The actions of the Jinzhou Navy are tantamount to expressing their position to the outside world.

same.

The Tianjin Navy also sent five warships.

Historically, during Zhu Di's period, the northern seas were peaceful for hundreds of years because of the great victory over the Japanese pirates in Liaodong.

As a result, the Tianjin Navy declined.

It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the Jin Dynasty rose to occupy Liaodong, and the Tianjin Navy was able to recover.

The current Tianjin Navy is still an important maritime force in the Yellow Sea, secretly competing with the rising star Jinzhou Navy.

One mainly controls the Bohai Sea, and the other mainly controls the Yellow Sea.

The attitude of the two naval divisions proved their support for the palace.

However, the Jinzhou Navy was established by Zhu Gaochi himself. On the contrary, the development of the Tianjin Navy lags behind the Jinzhou Navy.

It can be seen from the size of the boat.

The ships of the Jinzhou Navy are not only larger, but also have artillery installed at the bow and stern. Most of the Jinzhou Navy are new ships.

On the surface, the Tianjin Navy had already lost, so the Tianjin Navy dispatched five ships out of anger.

If you lose, you don't lose, and you can't lose in momentum.

The ships of the two navy also went to each side, one was on the left side of the ship where the princess was riding, and the other was on the right side of the boat where the princess was riding.

at this time.

Golden State has a new partner.

The Han interpreter next to Hirata Zengzong did not die, and arrived at Hiroka Island with a fleet of [-] Japanese.

Among the two thousand Japanese, there are three hundred women.

This is what the forest farm requires.

The current Japanese trade is no longer limited to the young and strong, and the young Japanese women can also sell for a higher price than the Japanese.

The price of these two thousand Japanese rose from one tael of silver to three taels of silver, that is to say, the value was 6000 taels.

As the saying goes, ten thousand family assets.

After this trip, it will soon be worth the assets of a rich family in a traditional agricultural society.

Is there any more profitable business than this in the world?
Liu Ying does not think she will fail.

As long as he relies on the business with Jinzhou, he doesn't think it's a problem to make a comeback. If Hirata Masamune dares to harm himself, this big revenge must be avenged.

"Golden State can support you, but no one can violate the rules of Golden State, and plundering is not allowed on the Yellow Sea."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Ma, I will never violate Jinzhou's rules."

"I said you are quite ruthless. I heard from the people on the boat that you wiped out several villages."

"There was no random killing."

Liu Ying explained: "The old man let go, the green clothes, women and children were brought over, and those children were raised by me."

"It seems that you are quite ambitious."

"Don't dare, it's just that life overseas is difficult, and we must look far."

"You have to be careful. When those children grow up, they will easily breed tigers and hurt themselves in the end. That's a joke."

"hey-hey."

Liu Ying smirked twice.

He heard Semu people talk about some things outside the East, including how to train slave soldiers.
