Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 271 Chapter 271: The King of Joseon died of taking drugs, and Zhu Song conquered Joseon!
As soon as Zhu Yue and Zhu Biao returned to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang came directly to find them.

"Where have you two brothers gone?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"I went to the Royal Guard Academy to find Lan Yu and the others and finalized the matter of the flintlock gun!"

Zhu Li explained with a smile.

"How long will it take to equip the navy?"

If he had to talk about this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became energetic!
He was still thinking about letting the Ming Dynasty Navy defeat Japan as soon as possible!

Firearms and equipment are naturally the most important part and must be prepared in advance!
"It will take about half a year at the fastest. It can only equip 100,000 people, but it is enough!"

"Within one year, the entire Ming Dynasty navy can be equipped with flintlock guns!"

Zhu Yue directly gave a time.

"Well, that seems to be the case!"

"The things left by our ancestors are all good things after all!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li immediately shook his head and rejected the proposal.

Zhu Biao also nodded with deep understanding and said.

This is also the reason why he wants to stop the construction of the Great Wall first. In his opinion, it is a bit thankless to still be building the Great Wall in a hurry!
The main reason is that he has confidence in Daming!
In other words, they have confidence in Zhu Li and his son!
With their father and son here, wouldn't that be worth the effect of the ten Great Walls?

"The same goes for the Great Wall!"

"It's about building the Great Wall!"

"With the current situation in Mobei, the role of the Great Wall will not be reflected for at least nearly a hundred years!"

"For future generations, the Great Wall is definitely a valuable asset!"

"Besides, the Great Wall is more of a spirit and a belief!"

"There are some things we can do without, but we absolutely cannot live without them!"

"Not only were they not demolished, they were also properly protected. The first few commercial buildings built have become some of the world's most cultural treasures!"

"We were thinking, should we stop the construction of the Great Wall first?"

"How did you die?"

"In this case, as you said, the Great Wall must continue to be built. We will still allocate a fixed amount of silver every year, but the number of workers can be controlled at around 50,000. It doesn't need that many, right?"

"Even if the Ming Dynasty is divided in the end, the Great Wall can still serve as a barrier to the north of the Eastern Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with great satisfaction, and then said with a change of subject.

Even if we can build more flintlock muskets, more naval guns and more ships!
"No, the construction of the Great Wall cannot be stopped. Even if it means appropriately reducing some investment and slowing down the progress, let's forget about the suspension!"

Zhu Li then opened his mouth to explain.

Zhu Li asked curiously.

Even if you Japanese people are not afraid of death, you will still die as many as you come!

"What's wrong, Lao Jiu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again when he heard this.

"That's right. Even if Feng'er wants to seal off Mobei in the future, even if Mobei is unified, the existence of the Great Wall is still very necessary!"

Zhu Yue explained it seriously!
"Dad, we also think Lao Jiu is right. The Great Wall still needs to be repaired. Although it is not urgent now, it must not be abandoned!"

It can be said that the countdown to conquering Japan has entered. Within two years, Japan will definitely be completely turned into a province of the Ming Dynasty!
"Okay! Okay!"

"Huh? Li Chenggui is dead?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both noticed Zhu Yue's strange expression and asked in surprise.

"why?"

"Even in the modern society of later generations, specialized talents will still be organized to repair the Great Wall. This has nothing to do with its actual function!"

The weapons in Japan are mainly cold weapons. Although there are also firearms, they are not many at all!
In terms of the quantity of equipment, Ming Dynasty is crushing them.

"That Niubi Qingxu used a transmission talisman to send me a message, saying that the King of North Korea, Li Chenggui, is dead!"

The main reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use all the human and financial resources used to build the Great Wall on the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty!

"By the way, there's something I'm ready to hear your thoughts on!"

"We finally have hope!"

"The Oara and Tatars simply don't have the guts to go south now!"

Use ordinary cold weapons to fight flintlock guns?
That's a joke!

Zhu Yuanzhang finally agreed with Zhu Yue's statement, and at the same time reduced the manpower and financial resources needed to build the Great Wall!
At this moment, Zhu Li's expression suddenly became strange, and he couldn't help but look toward the northeast!

"what's up?"

"For example, in Zhu Zhiqin's era, commercial buildings were actually of little use and were even dispensable. But do you think they dare to demolish them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly talked about building the Great Wall.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was even more shocked!

"You'll die from taking drugs!"

There was a smile on Zhu Li's face.

Who doesn’t want to live forever?

Previously, the Ming Dynasty deliberately released news that Zhu Yue, the king of Han Dynasty, could refine some elixir, and even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, was taking it!
Li Chenggui was also very itchy. You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang is now seventy years old and still as lively as ever. This gives him a lot of ideas!

So he found Taoist Master Qingxu and asked about the elixir. This was tantamount to taking the bait!
Qingxu prepared some pills and asked Li Chenggui to take them on time. In fact, it was equivalent to taking a certain amount of poison over many years. After accumulating to a certain level, he would die from the poison!

To put it simply, Li Chenggui took the initiative to seek chronic suicide!

I have to say that this Qingxu also has some tricks!

Hearing such an answer, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at each other!

Throughout the dynasties, there were many emperors who died due to overdose of elixirs. The most famous one was definitely the First Emperor Ying Zheng!

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also fell in love with so-called elixirs in his later years!

It can only be said that these warlocks and golden elixirs are doing great harm to people!
Of course, this does not mean that there are no truly life-saving elixirs in this world. At least these elixirs refined by Zhu Yue are definitely real elixirs!

But even if the longevity pill is so incredible, it can only extend a person's life for ten years!

You want to live forever, are you kidding me?
"So what is the current situation in North Korea?" What Zhu Yuanzhang is most concerned about is whether after Li Chenggui's death, Taoist Master Qingxu and his apprentice can control the situation in North Korea!
"Don't worry, Li Chenggui's princes are now under Qingxu's control!"

"Don't you want to take over North Korea? Now is the most suitable time!"

Zhu Li suddenly laughed.

"Then send Zhu Songfeng to North Korea directly?"

"This kid is also 17 years old this year, and he has already reached the age of becoming a feudal lord!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and still felt that it was most appropriate for the twentieth prince, King Zhu Song of Han, to go to North Korea to become a vassal!
"The key is that the situation in North Korea is special. If Zhu Song goes to seize the throne, he is afraid that he will not be able to control the situation, which will be a big problem!"

Zhu Biao reminded him at this time.

After all, Zhu Song is only 17 years old, has no experience in governing local areas, and lacks some skills and courage!

Zhu Biao was obviously not at ease with this twenty-year-old brother!

"Send more guards for him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly proposed the simplest and crudest method, which was nothing more than giving Zhu Song more troops!

"Actually, that's not necessary!"

"The domestic situation in North Korea is still under Qingxu's control. Whether it is Li Chenggui's sons or the North Korean nobles, it is not a big problem. With him assisting Zhu Song in North Korea, there is actually no need for Zhu Song to do anything deliberately! "

"However, if you want to quickly annex North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, military strength is indeed indispensable. It is more for the purpose of deterrence, not to directly knock down North Korea!"

"North Korea now doesn't have the courage or ability to go to war with Ming Dynasty!"

"If it were me, I would just let the fourth brother and the seventeenth brother lead the troops to escort Zhu Song to North Korea to become a vassal!"

"When the situation in North Korea stabilizes, the fourth brother and the seventeenth brother will come back!"

Zhu Yue laughed disapprovingly.

"Yup!"

"If the Fourth and Seventeenth brothers are allowed to lead troops and accompany Zhu Song to North Korea, then there will be no problem!"

"If nothing else, it's no problem to use Fourth's methods to help Zhu Song quickly stabilize the domestic situation in North Korea!"

"Let them each bring 20,000 people, and we will give Zhu Song another 20,000 personal guards, which will be enough to scare the entire North Korea!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"The main thing is that Master Qingxu and his disciples are in North Korea, who can cooperate inside and outside. Fourth brother and Lao Shiqi are just helping temporarily, but they have to leave after all!"

"I will explain to Qingxu, let Han Song go to the feudal lord directly, and I will explain the rest to Fourth Brother and Lao Qi!"

Zhu Yue said with confidence, it seemed that taking over the entire North Korea was not a big deal to him. North Korea was just within easy reach!
"Okay!"

"Let's call Zhu Song here!"

"It just so happens that you two brothers are also educating him for me. As a father, my words may not be as effective as those of you two brothers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hesitate, he made a decision immediately and asked someone to call Zhu Song!
In fact, in the original history, Zhu Song, the king of Han, had his fiefdom in Kaiyuan, Liaodong, but he never went to join the feudal vassal. He died of illness in Yingtian Mansion in the fifth year of Yongle!

Zhu Song is cautious, smart and lonely, well-read, and has a good understanding of ancient and modern times. With his mind and knowledge, coupled with the assistance of Qingxu's master and apprentice, it shouldn't be a big problem to defend and govern North Korea!

Although he has no experience and is only a young vassal king, if you give him a certain amount of time, he can still grow up!

What's more, there are nearby vassal kings such as Ning Wang Zhu Quan and Yan Wang Zhu Di. Even if something happens in North Korea, it won't take long for these nearby vassal king brothers to rush over to help!
"How about building a railway from Beiping to North Korea?"

"By the way, it can also connect areas such as Beiping Prefecture and Daning!"

"It will also be of great benefit to the economic development of Liaodong in the future!"

"I remember seeing it when I traveled through time. When North Korea was just conquered by the Ming Dynasty, it was not particularly stable. But since the railway was repaired, those ambitious people who still wanted to restore the country have collectively stopped!"

Zhu Biao suddenly suggested.

"The railway must be repaired!"

"But going from Peiping to North Korea is no better than going from Hanzhong to Xi'an. It will definitely take less than four or five years to complete!"

"Even if it takes five years, it will be enough for Zhu Song to stabilize the situation in North Korea!"

"Building railways can only be used as an auxiliary means of reinforcement. There is no way to count on it in the early stage!"

Zhu Li nodded slowly and said.

"Okay, then just do as you said!"

"Taoist Master Qingxu and Lao Si and Lao Qi will leave it to you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang made the final decision at this time and simply threw the issue directly to Laojiu Zhu Yue.

Anyway, all he needs to do is arrange for Zhu Song to go directly to North Korea to become a vassal!
Not long after, Zhu Song, who got the news, also came to Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

When facing Zhu Yuanzhang, his father, Zhu Song still seemed very reserved, with a bit of timidity in his eyes.

This means that he is seventeen years old now. Before he reached adulthood, his legs would feel weak even when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but snorted when he saw this boy facing him as if he were facing a savage beast!
In fact, he doesn't blame Zhu Song, the main reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang has looked away now, and hopes to establish an ordinary father-son relationship with his wives and daughters, and wants to feel the family affection that ordinary people can have!
But Zhu Song's reaction made him a little disappointed!

"Song'er, you are already seventeen this year. I grant you the title of King of Han. I also hope that one day you can become a vassal like your brothers and become one of the vassals of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I just received the news today that the King of Joseon, Li Chenggui, has died of illness. Get ready and set off for Joseon to become a vassal in a few days!"

"From now on, North Korea will completely become a part of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not talk nonsense and directly told Zhu Song to go to North Korea to join the vassal state!
"Go to Korea and become a vassal?"

"Even if Li Chenggui dies of illness, will other people in North Korea be happy?"

"Or is it that North Korea has agreed to merge with Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Song's reaction after hearing this was naturally quite exaggerated!

Naturally, he also wanted to join the feudal vassal. After all, he was an adult and wanted to go to his own fief like his brothers!

But he didn't expect that the place where Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to go to become a feudal lord would actually be North Korea!
"Don't worry about this, your Ninth Brother will arrange it for you!"

"North Korea's National Preceptor, Taoist Priest Qingxu, is from your Ninth Brother. He has extremely high prestige in North Korea and has already controlled several of Li Chenggui's sons and some nobles!"

"And this time your fourth brother and seventeenth brother will also accompany you to North Korea. They will help you stabilize the situation in North Korea before coming back!"

"Song'er, you must remember how kind your ninth brother is to you!"

"In order for you to become a vassal in North Korea, your Ninth Brother has done a lot of hard work!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Song on the shoulder and warned him sincerely.

ps: Brothers, can you humbly ask for a few free recommendation votes? I beg you on your knees!
