My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 759

In Zhan Shi's mansion, Zhu Zhanhe finished handling the government affairs at hand, so he picked up today's newspaper and read it.

"Shocking: The steamship traveled rapidly and successfully returned from Egypt in just seven days! 》

Looking at the headline news on the Dahan Daily, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but smile. Ma An didn't learn anything bad, but he learned from the shocking style of later generations. Moreover, the title of the news was so long and disgusting that he wanted to cover all the hot news. Write it all in.

However, although the title of this report is vulgar, the content of the article is still quite good. The author of the article followed the steam ship from Beizheng Port and described in great detail what he saw and heard along the way, as well as the scenery and characters of Egypt.

In particular, the article also mentioned the prices of some goods in Egypt. For example, good porcelain can be exchanged for gold of equal weight, a piece of cotton cloth can be exchanged for a good horse, etc. This information is absolutely useful for business people. Very tempting.

In addition to this article introducing steamships and Egypt, Dahan Daily also has some reports about steam engines. For example, textile factories began to use steam engines to drive machines, and mines also began to use steam engines to pump water.

These intensive reports on steam engines were the result of Zhu Zhanhe's instructions to Ma An, asking him to do as many reports as possible related to steam engines, so as to make the people of the Han Dynasty more familiar with steam engines and speed up the spread of steam engines.

Now Zhu Zhanhe is very glad that he published the newspaper early, which greatly increased the efficiency of news transmission. For example, about the steam engine, not only almost everyone in the Han Dynasty, but also many people in the Ming Dynasty knew about it, and even Therefore, some skilled craftsmen were attracted to move to the Han Dynasty.

After reading Dahan Daily, Zhu Zhanhe picked up several other newspapers. These are relatively well-known newspapers in Dahan, such as Commercial Daily. Most of them are private newspapers. Although they are not as authoritative as Dahan Daily, they are also Lots of useful information.

After reading the newspapers in the Han Dynasty, Zhu Zhanhe took another pile of newspapers from the upper left corner of the table. These newspapers were just delivered today, but they were not the newspapers of the day, but the newspapers from the Ming Dynasty. These newspapers Newspapers often traveled long distances and took months to reach him.

"Your Majesty patrolled the border and defeated Wu Liangha"

The title of Yongle's future front page headlines will be much more normal, but Zhu Zhanhe frowned when he saw this title, and then he finished reading the article.

This article reported that Zhu Zhanji inspected the border in August and happened to encounter the Ulyanha rebellion. So Zhu Zhanji personally led [-] cavalry and rushed for several days to Gyeongju and put down the Ulyanha rebellion.

In this article, Zhu Zhanji is simply Li Shimin alive. Not only did he personally lead [-] cavalry, but he also personally shot and killed three Wuliangha warriors. It can be said that Zhu Zhanji was praised to the sky.

Zhu Zhanhe was not interested in Zhu Zhanji's heroic deeds. What interested him was that the Wuliangha people had risen again, replacing the original Duoyan Three Guards, and once again became a threat outside the customs.

"These damn grassland bandits are really endless!"

After Zhu Zhanhe read the article, he couldn't help but stroke his chin and muttered to himself.

Think about Zhu Di's many northern expeditions, which almost wiped out all the larger forces in the grassland. The remaining tribes fled in all directions and did not dare to approach the border of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, Zhu Di had just died a few years ago, and the tribes on the grassland were like weeds that could not be burned by wildfire. They grew again and could even threaten the borders of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanhe then continued to read the newspapers, hoping to find more reports about the Uliangha people. He needed more information to understand the recent developments in the grassland.

Unexpectedly, I went through all the newspapers sent by the Ming Dynasty. The reports about Wuliangha were almost the same. They all praised Zhu Zhanji's victory over the Wuliangha rebels from all angles. As for the situation on the grassland, there was no information at all. Talk more.

In the end, Zhu Zhanhe found an article in an unknown registration corner. Although he also praised Zhu Zhanji's bravery, he mentioned it in passing. It seemed that Wuliangha's rebels did not only appear in Gyeongju.

After flipping through the newspapers, he couldn't find any useful information. An angry Zhu Zhanhe threw the newspapers aside and shouted loudly: "Come here, summon Liu Ke to see me!"

The people below agreed and immediately ran away. About half an hour later, Liu Ke hurriedly entered the hall and saluted: "See you, Your Highness!"

"Do you have any information about Wu Liangha?" Zhu Zhanhe asked directly.

"Yes, I have just received the news. What does Your Highness want to know?"

Liu Ke nodded immediately and asked.

"Didn't my eldest brother just defeat Ulyanha's rebels? How was this battle?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked again.

Although Zhu Zhanji was praised in the newspapers, Zhu Zhanhe smelled something different from it.

Liu Ke glanced at the newspaper on Zhu Zhanhe's desk, and then chuckled and said: "Your Highness must have seen the newspaper from the Ming Dynasty, but you must not be confused by what is in the newspaper. Although this battle is They won, but it’s not as brilliant as they boasted!”

"Oh? Tell me in detail!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhanhe immediately sat up straight and gave instructions.

"Yes!"

Liu Ke agreed and immediately recounted the information he had received about Wu Liangha in detail.

This time Wu Liangha launched an army to rebel. In fact, it was mainly because of the natural disasters they encountered and the lack of food in the tribe, so they raised troops to go south to plunder. It is a bit reluctant to call it a rebellion.

However, Wu Liangha united some tribes that were also affected by the disaster and divided their troops into three groups to go south to plunder. This was mainly because they did not want to fight with the main force of the Ming Dynasty, so they divided the army into small groups to make it difficult for the Ming army to look after them, making it easier for them to plunder. food.

It happened that Zhu Zhanji was out patrolling the border, so he personally led his troops to quell the local Ulyanha rebels in Gyeongju. However, the Ulyanha rebels in other places still gained a lot, especially a deputy Qianhu Duzhan in Liaodong. He died, and the local losses were also huge.

"In order to promote his military exploits, the Ming Emperor concealed the fact that Liaodong and Xuanfu were attacked by the Ulyanha rebels. He only said that he personally led [-] cavalry to put down the Ulyankha rebellion. This is the real fact! "

Finally, Liu Ke concluded.

"When did this cousin of mine get so happy?"

After Zhu Zhanhe heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Your Highness does not know that since the loss of Jiaozhi, many people have been talking about the Ming Emperor behind his back, saying that he failed to live up to Emperor Taizong's expectations, which also caused his prestige to plummet. Therefore, he decided to patrol the border before, in fact, just to Improve your prestige and consolidate the imperial power in your hands!"

Liu Ke explained patiently again.

　My daughter is sick and has been receiving infusions in the hospital. The updates in the past few days may be unstable. I hope you can understand.

　　When mycoplasma was severe, students in my daughter's school became sick. At that time, my daughter was not sick. I was secretly happy, thinking that my daughter's body was getting stronger. But when others got better, it was her turn to get sick. The same was true in the infusion room of the hospital. It’s overcrowded, and it looks like this wave of the disease hasn’t passed yet. Everyone, please take precautions.
