Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy!
The fourth brother did a great job this time.

Those pirates should be dealt with ruthlessly and severely!
After the joy, his expression immediately turned sinister.

He's going to flip the table!
We need to teach those bastards a lesson.

These bastards feel like they can't do anything to them.

I feel that as long as I still want to do business, I won't be able to do it without them.

He felt that his Maritime Customs fleet would definitely be destroyed by those pirates.

However, they didn't know that although they didn't have many strong ships, they had plenty of powerful cannons.

It’s enough to give these bastards a good drink!
They were wiped out in one battle!

Not only that, it can also be seen from some news coming from the fourth brother over there.

The fourth brother had a huge harvest this time. Not only did he defeat the pirates, but he also destroyed the old pirates' lairs.

The gold, silver, money, grain and other things obtained are almost equivalent to the annual taxes of half a province!
This time, I really got rich!

In addition to these, we also had a lot of large sea ships.

There are even a few large ocean-going ships of 2,000 tons that were produced by our own Longjiang Baochuan Factory.

Those that had been secretly sold by the brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang and others before.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself felt that he was extremely poor.

Especially after tightening their belts and getting a lot of Hongwu cannons.

I feel even poorer.

But now it’s all right, now we have the fourth brother’s performance this time, and we have gained so much.

Not only did all my previous investments pay off in an instant.

There is still a lot left.

The most important thing is that through this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw more clearly how rich these pirates are and how profitable it is to do business at sea!
The pirates Chen and Fang had only been pirates on the sea for a few years.

But in such a short period of time, so much wealth has been accumulated.

During this process, they also have to recruit soldiers, purchase and build warships and many other things.

As a result, not only did I get all these things done.

And there is still so much money left.

This fully proves how profitable it is to do business overseas!

Next, your good days are coming!

All this money, including the money from offshore business activities, will become yours!

The fourth child in my family has gained much more than just these.

There are also quite a few account books and some correspondence.

Most of them are well-known wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan and other places.

Isn't this equivalent to putting the knife directly into his hand?
Zhu Yuanzhang had long wanted to take action and deal with these stupid people!
Now the necessary things such as the pirates have finally been done.

Now, it is time for them to take action and deal with those who need to be dealt with.

Clean up Jiangnan thoroughly.

These bastards think they are far away from the emperor and treat everything the emperor says as bullshit!

If that's the case, there's no need for them to exist!
Moreover, those pirates have gained so much wealth by operating on the sea over the years.

They have existed much longer than pirates.

Now, all the money they have saved will become their own money.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the happier he felt.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang soon gave the order.

After letting Prince of Yan Zhu Di deal with things at sea, he immediately led his army back to deal with these things in the south of the Yangtze River.

Those who should have their property confiscated ..., and those who should have their family exterminated should have

In order to ensure that things were done well, Zhu Yuanzhang issued another order immediately after giving this order.

Let the troops in Jiangnan and other places temporarily come under the control of Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

Obey the orders of King Yan.

And some troops were transferred from the capital, and the money was used to do the work.

From this we can see how angry Zhu Yuanzhang was.

What a great determination you have made.

He wants to sort out Jiangnan.

Use extremely strong means to clean up all those bastards!
He was greatly inspired by watching the simulator and seeing some of the methods used by the Qing Tartars to deal with these gentry.

You can't be too polite to them!

Those who deserve to be killed must be killed!

Only by killing enough people will they be convinced and dare not cause trouble!
The business left behind by the Yuan Tartars is so rotten!
Especially the tax system, which has whetted the appetites of countless people.

It is impossible to make these people behave themselves by using gentle means.

After arranging these matters, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly summoned Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

The battle report sent by Zhu Di was given to Zhu Biao.

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty! Father is mighty!

Fourth brother is so awesome!

The Hongwu cannon is mighty!

My second brother-in-law is also awesome!
The contribution is indispensable!!”

After reading the battle report sent by Zhu Di and understanding what had happened, Zhu Biao couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.

He looked excited.

It is said that ever since Zhu Di led his troops to fight at sea.

Zhu Di was always worried.

Although I also know that there are Hongwu cannons, as well as the telescopes and other things made by my second brother-in-law.

Coupled with the Chaohu navy, which is invincible in naval battles, and my fourth brother, there will definitely be no accidents this time.

However, even though I thought this way, I couldn't help but worry about it.

After all, if we only talk about warships, there is indeed a big gap between them and those pirates.

Moreover, the Chaohu Navy had only fought in rivers and lakes before and did not have much experience in naval battles.

More importantly, the weather at sea is unpredictable.

If we encounter a big storm, even if we have the Hongwu cannon, it will still be useless...

Fortunately, good news has come back now.

This made Zhu Biao breathe a sigh of relief.

All the worries in my heart disappeared at this moment.

Only endless joy remains.

Zhu Yuanzhang then ordered Zhu Di to return with his troops to clean up the situation in the south of the Yangtze River and told Crown Prince Zhu Biao about it.

After Zhu Biao heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "Father, isn't it... not a good idea to do this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Biao'er, there's nothing wrong with it.

I think I understand it now.

These people are shameless!
How much money of our Ming Dynasty has been embezzled from the beginning to now?

They are all termites!
It’s not like they haven’t been given opportunities before.

But how did they do it?

You don't take us, the emperor, seriously at all!
Such people will find it difficult to take on important responsibilities in the future!
In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to clean it up properly.

These people have all been spoiled by the Yuan Tartars.

At this time, we must let them know what the law is!

Let them know that it is now the Ming Dynasty, and it is you and I, father and son, who rule the country. It is no longer the world of the Yuan Tartars!!”

After hearing what my father said, I thought about what these people had done.

Zhu Biao was at a loss for words for a moment.

I also think that there is nothing wrong with cleaning these people out.

“Father, how about… leading the troops to Jiangnan and let someone else do this.

There is no need to let the fourth brother interfere.

There is also a lot to do at sea.

We still need the fourth one."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Biao'er, this matter must be done by the fourth brother.

It was the fourth brother who did this from the beginning.

The pirates were wiped out by the fourth brother, and the evidence of their connection with the pirates was also obtained by the fourth brother.

Instead, the suppression of pirates and the cleansing of those people in Jiangnan were all preparations for the establishment of the Maritime Customs.

In fact, they are one.

In that case, it would be reasonable to let the fourth brother do this as well.

As for the sea... the two largest pirate groups on the sea have been destroyed by the fourth brother. Their nests have been destroyed.

The numerous captured items are now being transported back by the fourth brother.

The remaining pirates will not be able to achieve anything.

The rest of the people are no longer a concern.

It can be said that the situation on the sea has been resolved.

Even if there are still some scattered pirates, there is no need to worry too much.

I believe that after this incident, those people will definitely not have the courage to provoke the Ming Dynasty again.

We'll just slowly get rid of them in the future.

The most important people at this time are those in Jiangnan.

Eliminating the pirates is only the first step in the smooth operation of the Maritime Customs.

Next, we need to clean out the people in Jiangnan.

The corresponding goods are sold out through the Maritime Customs.

The most important thing is that after those things from overseas are shipped here, someone will buy them.

Besides, this is such a big deal, I don’t feel comfortable letting someone else do it.”

After hearing what his father said, Zhu Biao made some further persuasion.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very determined on this matter.

The fourth one must be allowed to do it.

In the end, Zhu Biao had no choice but to agree.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Biao'er, after Lao Si has almost cleared out the people over there.

Just leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan to take care of the Maritime Customs affairs.

Got all the related things done.

The matter of the Maritime Customs is related to the purse of our Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, it is also an important part of Ming Dynasty's ocean management and external development.

We can rest assured if you do it."

After hearing what his father said, Crown Prince Zhu Biao didn't know what to say for a moment.

My father treats me so well!
"Father, if that's the case, then why don't you just let me clean up the place and do it as well.

While I was cleaning up, I also established the Maritime Customs Office."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shook his head.

"Biao'er, this is not something you are suited to do.

You are the Crown Prince of my Ming Dynasty, and the Heir to the throne, and the next Emperor of my Ming Dynasty.

Your reputation is important.

But you really can't do this, so let the fourth brother do it.

The fourth brother also knows how to kill better than you.

Let's do this as we said.

You don't have to worry too much about the fourth brother, he will definitely do a great job.

I am also happy to serve you as your big brother.

I will have a good talk with him about this matter later.

Explain clearly..."

"Father, are you...still thinking about the contents of the simulator, about the fourth son becoming the emperor?"

After a moment's silence, Zhu Biao looked at his father and spoke.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "No, don't let your imagination run wild.

These things are just best done by the fourth child."

Zhu Biao looked at his father for a while and nodded.

No further words were said on the matter.

But in my heart, I sighed.

The mood seems rather heavy.

He could understand his father's good intentions.

His arrangement was equivalent to letting the fourth brother pave the way for him and letting the fourth brother do all the offending things.

Then, as the crown prince, I will go and appease the people.

Do something beautiful.

At the same time, the Maritime Customs was established, which gave the Ming Dynasty the extremely important purse things in its hands.

The bad guy asked the fourth brother to do it.

The benefits are all for yourself.

My father is so good to me.

But this was too unfair to the fourth child.

Even his own father has tried his best to deny it.

Talking about this is no different from the fourth brother becoming the emperor in the future.

But how could Zhu Biao not see that his father had a deeper purpose behind his actions?
In fact, it was because of the future of the fourth brother that he saw in the simulator.

This is a trick to prevent the fourth brother from becoming emperor again like in the simulator.

This is to let the fourth brother offend all the people who should be offended first.

To ruin one's reputation.

In this way, even if some unexpected things happen later.

The fourth brother still wanted to take that step, but not many people supported him.

Make Lao Si unpopular...

Zhu Biao felt extremely complicated for a moment.

I was touched by my father's love and care for me.

I also feel that fate is playing tricks on me.

I still feel sorry for the fourth brother...

All kinds of thoughts and things were intertwined in his mind.

It made him feel very heavy in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted Zhu Biao's shoulder hard.

"Biao'er, don't think so much.

Just do good things.

You don't have to worry about the future of the fourth child.

Didn’t we say that?

In the future, if the fourth brother and his friends are willing, they will go overseas to strive for their careers.

That being the case, they will not have to worry too much about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

So there are some things that he is most suitable to do. "

"Father, I understand."

Zhu Biao nodded vigorously.

After hearing what his father said, he remembered the strategy of appointing vassal kings to foreign territories that his second brother-in-law had proposed before.

Zhu Biao's mood suddenly improved a lot.

At the same time, I would like to sincerely thank my second brother-in-law again.

If it weren’t for my second brother-in-law who came up with such a good idea.

Faced with this situation, they really find it difficult to make a decision.

"By the way, Biao'er, you have some free time in the next two days, so take some time to go to Shuangshui Village again.

Ask Mei Yin if he has any good suggestions for you to handle things there first."

After finishing the discussion, Zhu Biao was ready to leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something.

Looking at Zhu Biao, he spoke out loud.

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "I will go tomorrow.

I'm a little unsure about this matter. I just wanted to ask my second brother-in-law."

……

The next day, Zhu Biao came to Shuangshui Village.

After meeting Mei Yin, they quickly got to the point.

I told Mei Yin everything and asked for his opinion...
