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

Chapter 292 Chapter 292: The Nanyang Islands have surrendered, and Zhu Xifeng will open the Mobei dungeon!
Zhu Yuanzhang liked his grandson Zhu Xifeng very much, especially his character. He seemed careless and had a bad temper, but in fact he was rough and subtle!
He understands the truth of many things better than anyone else, and when it comes to dealing with people, he at least makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel very comfortable!
Maybe it's because he has too many descendants, but most of them will be frightened and trembling when they see Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy about Zhu Xiafeng's attitude of only treating him as his grandfather!

Seeing that Zhu Xifeng had obviously grown a lot and become more mature after the experience of the Japanese War, Zhu Yuanzhang's reluctance became stronger and stronger!

But he knew that Zhu Xifeng had his own mission and his own path to walk!

When the time comes, it should indeed be over!

"Grandpa Huang, the situation in Japan has been stabilized for the time being, but the court needs to put more effort into the follow-up management work!"

At this time, Zhu Xifeng suddenly talked about the affairs of Japan in a serious manner, and even said all the things that the officials had told him to pass back after they arrived in Japan!
"Actually, my grandson thinks that all officials who can go to Japan to open up wasteland should be treated kindly!"

Zhu Xifeng did not forget to add one last sentence.

"Well, the fact that you have this idea shows that you have seriously thought about the follow-up governance of Japan!"

"Your father and I have all thought about the situations you mentioned. The court will handle them well, so don't worry!"

Zhu Yue said with a smile.

"okay!"

"I'll give you another year to prepare!"

Zhu Xifeng agreed excitedly. He had not seen his mother and sister for more than half a year, so he was thinking too hard!

"The next thing you should be concerned about is your decision to become a vassal!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with Zhu Xia Feng's performance. He was indeed his good grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang, and he did not embarrass the old Zhu family!
No, it should be said that it gave him the face of Lao Zhu’s parents!

"In this year, the child will definitely train the Guards into a pack of wolf cubs!"

"Then my grandson will go to the East Palace to see my mother and sister first!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and gave instructions to Zhu Xifeng.

"You haven't met your mother and your sister yet, have you?"

"You can also take advantage of this year to train your personal guards and summarize the problems encountered on the battlefield in Japan!"

"Okay, I just came back from Japan."

"I understand, kid!"

He has grown a big face!
"Father, when will the child be able to become a feudal lord?"

"You will be sixteen next year. If you want to go to the grassland, I won't stop you!"

"We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and you weren't here during the Chinese New Year. They all miss you so much!"

Looking at Zhu Xiafeng's leaving figure, Zhu Yue and Zhu Yuanzhang both had a smile on their faces.

"Go back and see them quickly!"

Zhu Xifeng nodded seriously.

"I want them all to become the sharpest knives in Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xifeng perked up after hearing this. It was obvious that he had been looking forward to joining the feudal clan for a long time, but wasn't he just hoping that this day would come as soon as possible?

"This brat is becoming more and more interested in us!"

"Lao Jiu, we are just thinking, will Beida Ming really want to go independent in the future?"

"Is there any way to prevent this from happening?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion, then stared at Zhu Yue and asked slowly.

"too difficult!"

"The territory is too big, and with the capabilities of the imperial court, it must be beyond its reach!"

"The main reason why the Ming Dynasty can be unified three hundred years later is because the conditions such as technology and industry have matured!"

"Only when regional issues no longer matter and the court can deal with all emergencies in the territory as soon as possible even if it is thousands of miles away, can this situation be avoided!"

"This cannot be solved by simply solving the communication problem or the traffic problem!"

"Even in later generations, when telephones, trains, and even airplanes have become popular, this problem still exists!"

"Including conflicts of ideas and beliefs such as race and religion, there will be many conflicts!"

"Forcing integration will only be counterproductive. Instead, it will affect the overall national development due to the turbulent domestic environment!"

"So necessary trade-offs are also necessary!"

Zhu Yue naturally understood what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, but he had no choice but to pour cold water on Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Then what if we take the initiative to divide the country?"

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood what Zhu Yue said, but he didn't want to see his grandchildren carrying the reputation of rebellion, and he didn't want to see the three Ming Dynasties being at war with each other and consuming each other in the future!

If we have to split into three kingdoms, why can't we live in harmony and get along with each other like fraternal countries?
"It's not that it's inoperable. In fact, these officials in the imperial court don't care at all about the ownership of those remote places!"

"This can be seen from the fact that most officials do not want to become officials in Japan!"

"Their eyes and thoughts also stay on this three-acre land of Ming Dynasty!"

"At least in the short term, there won't be much change!"

"But it's too early to discuss this issue now. It will have to wait at least several decades!"

Zhu Yue nodded noncommittally, but at the same time, she also felt that the old man's worries were a bit unnecessary. After all, there were still decades to go, and there was no need to consider these issues right now! "You mean we're just worrying?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he glared at Zhu Yue angrily.

"Son, I don't dare. I just think you don't need to worry about this issue to avoid feeling uncomfortable!"

"Besides, don't you still believe me?"

Zhu Yue saw Zhu Yuanzhang acting a little bit petty, and suddenly felt dumbfounded.

It is said that the older a person gets, the easier it is to live longer and longer. At some point, his personality will gradually become more like that of a child!

Now it seems that it is not unreasonable!
"We just trust you too much, that's why we're worried!"

"You are always calm in everything you do. Sometimes you are so calm!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He knows that Lao Jiu has always been a very rational person and sees problems very thoroughly. He will not be easily swayed by personal feelings or affect his judgment, even if he is facing his own father or his own son!

For him, there is no humane thing to say about what he should do or what he should not do!

Over the years, Zhu Yuanzhang has already understood Zhu Yue's way of doing things clearly!

Although Zhu Li has always been very accommodating to his biological father, his accommodation is limited!
On issues of principle, if the suggestions or ideas he puts forward are not feasible, Lao Jiu will reject them without hesitation!
Frankly speaking, this kind of character and way of doing things are indeed the qualities that a qualified emperor should possess!
But such people are too scary and make people feel that they cannot get close to them. To put it simply, they no longer have the warmth and emotion that a normal person should have!
Zhu Li disagreed with this.

From his perspective, in the future he will have to control the entire Ming Dynasty giant ship, so naturally he cannot be careless in the slightest!

"The navy is back!"

"According to your thoughts, should we take action against the Nanyang Islands and Ryukyu Island next?"

Zhu Yue wisely skipped the previous topic and talked about the issue of mobilizing troops abroad!
Sure enough, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this sentence, he immediately became energetic!

"Let the navy rest for a few days first!"

"Isn't that boy, the fourth boy, arriving soon?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.

From the beginning of the attack on Japan, they had already begun to notify Zhu Di to prepare!

Because Zhu Di wanted to give up the Beiping Mansion and needed to choose a new fiefdom, and the one he chose was the Nanyang region!

After all, having traveled through later generations, Zhu Di naturally knew that the Nanyang Islands would be the main waterways in the future. Controlling here would be equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of the sea!

He doesn’t want Japan anymore, and it’s better to leave it to Zhu Xiaqiu’s descendants.

But here in Nanyang, he will definitely fight for it!

So after Zhu Xifeng's side returned to the court, Zhu Di's side also began to prepare!

Going out to sea to conquer Nanyang, this time Zhu Di will go there in person!

In the original history, Emperor Yongle had the feat of seven voyages to the Western Seas. Now Zhu Di cannot achieve this feat, but he should be able to lead the navy to conquer the land of Nanyang and treat it as his own fiefdom. It should be no problem!
"Just these two days!"

"When Nanyang is conquered, it will be time to move the capital!"

"There's still a year at most!"

Zhu Yue mentioned the matter of moving the capital again!
The construction of the Peking Palace is already underway, and more than half of the projects have been completed. It will take at most one year before the Forbidden City is completed.

At that time, the capital of the Ming Dynasty will be moved from Xi'an Prefecture to Beiping Prefecture again!

By then, Beiping Mansion will also be renamed Shuntian Mansion!

Today, the development of Beiping Prefecture, thanks to the efforts of Zhu Li and Zhu Di, has also developed. Although it is not as good as Hanzhong and Xi'an Prefecture today, it is almost the same as Xi'an Prefecture three or four years ago!
Moreover, after moving the capital to Beiping, with Zhu Yue's ability, Beiping can be developed in a short time!
More importantly, Peiping is closer to North Korea and Japan, which is more conducive to the imperial court's control of these two regions!

In this way, ten days later, Zhu Di led the Ming Dynasty Navy to set off again. This time, his partner was Zheng He, who was also his old subordinate!

However, no large formation was dispatched this time. Including Zhu Di's own personal guards, the total number was only 100,000 troops, including more than 80,000 naval forces!

One hundred thousand people are enough to deal with these island countries or peninsula countries in Southeast Asia!
The current firearms and equipment of the Ming Dynasty are completely dimensionality reduction strikes for these countries!
On April 28, the 34th year of the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di led the Ming Navy to arrive at the Ryukyu Islands.

At this time, the Ryukyu Kingdom had already been frightened by the Daming Navy!

After all, they still vividly remember the fate of the neighbor next door!

So on the third day after Zhu Di and his army arrived at the Ryukyu Islands, the entire Ryukyu Kingdom surrendered!
Zhu Di originally had no intention of embarrassing them. After all, the Ryukyu Kingdom had always been very deferential to the Ming Dynasty. They sent people to pay tribute every year, and their attitude was quite humble!
Compared to those ferocious wolf cubs in Japan, the Ryukyu Kingdom is considered a gentle little sheep!

In other words, the Ryukyu Kingdom has been enslaved by them for a long time as they are neighbors with Japan!
Now that Japan has been captured by the Ming Dynasty and has become a part of the Ming Dynasty, how can they still have room to resist?
Perhaps joining the embrace of Ming Dynasty is the best choice, right?
It is said that they can enjoy the shade with their backs against a big tree, and they don’t have to worry about anyone bullying them anymore!
Of course, the Ryukyu Kingdom had not thought about resisting, but the equipment gap was so huge, and the Ming Dynasty's firearms were so powerful that there was no need to fight!
Even if a fight really breaks out, I don’t know how much Ming Dynasty will lose, but a small country as big as Ryukyu might just disappear!
In this way, Zhu Di led the navy army all the way south from Ryukyu, and by the way captured Ryukyu Island which was occupied by the remaining Japanese pirates.

After the imperial court sent someone to receive it, they went all the way south and directly arrived at Luzon and other places!
At first, there were some unsightly island countries trying to resist the Ming Navy’s fleet!
But after being bombarded by a round of firepower from the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, all of them became honest!
According to the order given by Zhu Yuanzhang before Zhu Di's departure, as long as the Southeast Asian island countries are willing to surrender, directly submit to the Ming Dynasty, and be included in the Ming Dynasty's territory, all local nobles can be pardoned!

Including their original positions, their local wealth and rights will basically not change!
The only difference is that these countries must accept the garrison of the Ming Dynasty, and from now on the laws of the Ming Dynasty will be implemented, and Ming Dynasty officials will come one after another to establish chief envoys!

In other words, these Nanyang Islands will become part of the Ming Province from now on!

In just a few months, Zhu Di traveled all the way from Nanyang to the Bengal Peninsula. He captured almost the entire area around the Strait of Malacca!
To be precise, the whole country surrendered without even firing a few shots!
There is no way, if you don’t surrender, you will be destroyed!

Is Japan powerful enough?
Isn't this a big country with a population of tens of millions that was turned into a minority by the Ming Dynasty?
Haven't you seen that there are still many Japanese who escaped from Japan and are still wandering across the sea?

It would be better to surrender to the Ming Dynasty than to follow in the footsteps of the Japanese, right?
When Zhu Di's squadron returned to the court, a total of 30,000 naval troops and a dozen steam engine battleships were left behind, and they began to continuously control the Nanyang area!

And when Zhu Di comes back again, this large area on both sides of the Malacca Strait will also become his fiefdom!

When Zhu Di returned to Xi'an Mansion, it was already November!

From April to November, more than half a year, it will be the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu in the blink of an eye!
After the New Year, Zhu Xifeng will also set off to Mobei to start his journey!
