Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much quieter.

Many people were shocked by what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

This is truly an unexpected arrangement!
How dare Zhu Yuanzhang, this bastard, do that?

How did you come up with this idea?
Is he going to farm?

It's obvious that he's going to war!
Although Lan Yu is not as famous as Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Feng Sheng,

However, it has already shown its potential.

Moreover, many people who are familiar with military affairs know this.

The person who truly plays a leading role in the mountain left behind by Chang Yuchun is not Chang Yuchun's son.

But Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law.

Under such circumstances, the emperor sent Lan Yu out with 10,000 imperial guards, and he could also control the troops of all the garrisons in Jiangxi.

He also directly said that he would assist in farming and suppressing bandits.

The threat was too obvious!

This simply means that when the land measurement is carried out, whoever opposes, whoever does not support the land measurement, will be punished.

That's the thief!
You need to face the iron fist from the soldiers!

This made many people, who had been secretly encouraging themselves to make trouble with the emperor over the land measurement issue in Jiangxi, start a fight with the emperor.

I felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Zhu Yuanzhang hit them precisely on the vital point!

With Lan Yu leading such a large army to fight, the next step was to use some means to secretly instigate some people to rebel and gather a crowd to cause trouble.

I’m afraid it won’t work very well.

Because, if we are not careful, we will be wiped out by Lan Yu and his men!

I’m afraid I won’t show up. Once I show up, there will be absolutely no way to survive!
Even Lan Yu and the others would be delighted.

Making people rebel and cause trouble against the imperial court is what they are best at and it is also the most effective method!
As a result, this road is now blocked by this guy Zhu Yuanzhang!
This bastard is really going too far!
How dare you resort to such means!

Even they were confused for a moment by what Zhu Yuanzhang had done.

Zhu Yuanzhang took in everyone's reactions and couldn't help feeling secretly proud.

This is something I did myself, it’s really great!
Fortunately, this brat Mei Yin gave me some advice.

Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to measure the land in this way.

But now that he has given the order, he will have to take a good look at who else is so blind as to dare to resist Du Tian on such matters!

Whoever dares to do so will be defeated!

There is no room for negotiation on this matter!
Be it Longhu Mountain, or any other gentry, officials, etc.

In matters like this, whoever dares to cause trouble will die!
If the Heavenly Master Zhang family doesn't obey, he doesn't mind replacing them with someone else to be the Heavenly Master!

It doesn't mean that the current person must be the Heavenly Master!
On this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang's determination is firm and will not waver in any way.

After Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order, the court quickly began to take action and prepare for this matter.

This would have been the case if Hu Weiyong and the Secretariat were still in existence.

This is contrary to the will of the people, or in other words, it is inconsistent with the interests of the so-called gentry and official class.

These people will inevitably oppose.

Even if you have already used some means to make them agree.

But in the future, when they really do things, they will use some methods to delay as much as possible.

To put a stumbling block on this matter.

But now, the six ministries directly connect with the emperor.

Moreover, before that, Zhu Yuanzhang used some means to kill a group of people and replace them with a group of new officials to do the work.

In this case, everything runs much more smoothly than before.

Zhu Yuanzhang increasingly felt that it was a very wise thing to get rid of the prime minister and the Secretariat.

Otherwise, let alone anything else, it would be impossible to do this matter so smoothly.

……

Five days later, Mei Yin brought Liu Qiuyan to the dock in the capital to see Liu Lian off.

Liu Lian officially arrived in Jiangxi today to take up his post.

In addition to some office officials, Liu Lian was accompanied by about two thousand students from the Imperial Academy.

There are also 10,000 elite soldiers led by Lan Yu.

Watching them board the tall ship parked on the riverside in an orderly manner.

Mei Yin couldn't help but nodded secretly.

I think this is the real posture of going to the fields.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang has decided to measure the land, he must get ready and have a serious fight on this matter.

Don't think of any compromise.

Don't have any illusions about those people!

There is no room for negotiation in this matter. It must be a fight to the death, with blood being shed.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make those people give up the benefits they have obtained.

There may be a few obedient ones, but they are only a minority after all.

The rest will need to be dealt with by knife.

Only by using both kindness and force and letting them taste the iron fist will they become honest.

According to the original history, Zhu Yuanzhang's land measurement project lasted for more than ten years before it was completely completed.

A yellow book and a corresponding fish scale book were created and hidden in buildings built on an island in Xuanwu Lake.

But the accomplishment of this matter also marked that Zhu Yuanzhang had solved one of the most difficult problems he faced during his time!
"Shuangshui Bo."

While Mei Yin was thinking this, a man wearing armor, looking heroic but also carrying a murderous aura came up to Mei Yin and greeted him politely.

This person was none other than Lan Yu.

Lan Yu has a very arrogant personality.

but not now.

Today, he still has a long way to go to become the Lan Yu in history who led his troops to attack the city gate of his own Ming Dynasty.

By that time, Zhu Biao had already passed away, and many generals of the Ming Dynasty, such as Xu Da, Deng Yu, Li Wenzhong and others, had also passed away.

Among Mu Ying's new generation, the only person who could fight against him also died.

He became the unique leader in the Ming army at that time.

At that time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty's royal court was destroyed, and it can be said that he was at the peak of his power.

Under such circumstances, one will naturally become more arrogant and do irrational things.

But now it’s different.
Now that these things haven't happened yet, Lan Yu can only be considered to be ranked in the second sequence, or even the third sequence.

Plus, Zhu Biao is still here.

Although Lan Yu was nominally the Crown Prince Zhu Biao had to call him uncle.

But in fact, he was very respectful to Zhu Biao, even a little afraid of him.

Zhu Biao valued Mei Yin very much, and told Lan Yu more than once about Mei Yin's importance, and asked Lan Yu to be respectful when treating Mei Yin.

Under such circumstances, it is only normal for Lan Yu to take the initiative to meet Mei Yin this time.

And he would not do anything unwise when meeting Mei Yin.

"Marquis of Yongchang."

Mei Yin also immediately returned the greeting to Lan Yu.

After all, this is a legendary figure of the Ming Dynasty.

After Xu Da and others died one after another, Lan Yu did become the leader of the Ming army. Although his ending was not very good, he was quite arrogant.

But didn’t that happen later?
Moreover, Crown Prince Zhu Biao is still alive. Now that I have come here, I will definitely find ways to prolong Zhu Biao's life and will not let Zhu Biao die early as happened in history.

In this situation, Lan Yu should have restrained his character a little and not done anything as he did in history.

Then a lot of things will be different.

At least Lan Yu will never be killed.

In the future, if the army needs someone to carry the flag, it will most likely be Lan Yu.

Of course, if I can protect Mu Ying in the future.

If Mu Ying had not died so early and they had checked and balanced each other, Lan Yu might have had a great chance of having a clearer mind and not doing anything wrong in some matters.

Besides, Lan Yu was meeting him according to etiquette.

Naturally, he will not be negligent.

Putting aside other things, just because of the relationship with his brother-in-law Zhu Biao, he would not really be hostile to Lan Yu.

And he also knew that Lan Yu had come all the way to see him, the emperor's son-in-law, and a little Shuangshui Earl.

I'm afraid there is a great possibility that it is related to Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

Under such circumstances, he would naturally not lose face to his elder brother-in-law Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, I am going to work there this time. I wonder if Your Highness can teach me anything?"

Lan Yu looked at Mei Yin and spoke.

To be honest, it is very rare for a proud man like Lan Yu to show such an attitude towards Mei Yin, whom he meets formally for the first time.

It also made him feel a little uncomfortable and awkward.
But this was something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had specifically instructed him to do.

Well, he had to say so at this time.

Mei Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he reacted all at once.

This must have been arranged by my eldest brother-in-law.

Otherwise, it would be a rare occasion for Lan Yu to come here and meet me on his own initiative.

I will never say such things to myself again.

He immediately said, "Marquis Yongchang, you are too kind.

You are a talented general. You know better than me how to march and fight.

I really know nothing about these things.

I am a person of low status and limited knowledge, so I shouldn't say these things.

But since you asked this, and he is the Crown Prince's uncle, I have a good relationship with my sister-in-law and the others.
I'd like to say this to you with a thick face.

If you think it is feasible, then listen to it. If not, just treat it as a joke.

This matter is actually quite simple. Once you get there, the most important thing is to kill decisively.

When it is time to kill, we must kill and suppress the arrogance of those people.

However, we must not indiscriminately kill innocent people who have not rebelled or caused chaos.

Military discipline must be strictly observed.

As long as these can be achieved, the land measurement in Jiangxi will be completed and Marquis Yongchang will have accomplished a great feat!
Although this event does not seem to be as pleasant as a real march or battle.

But if it is really done, it will be a real and great achievement!
The matter of land measurement is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Marquis Yongchang needs to take this matter seriously.

As long as you can successfully measure the land, your reputation as Marquis Yongchang will definitely not be too bad in the future.

Even in the history books, there will be two more lines written.”

What Mei Yin said is true.

According to his friendship with Lan Yu, he would not have said much on such matters.

The most taboo thing in socializing is to talk about deep things with people you just met.

What's more, Lan Yu is such a proud person.

But it’s different now. With the prince here, it’s a different matter.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu clasped his fists and said to Mei Yin, "I will definitely keep in mind what your Highness said!"

Mei Yin heard this, looked at Lan Yu and said with a smile: "General Lan, if you do a good job this time, I will invite you to my farm for a drink after you return victorious.

A welcome reception for General Lan!

If General Lan has time, please feel free to come."

Lan Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He said, "Well, I've heard from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that your cooking skills are unparalleled.

The food tasted really good and I had been craving for it for a long time.

When I come back, I will definitely come to ask for a few drinks!"

Although Lan Yu is arrogant, it depends on the person he is with.

Now, facing a prince like Mei Yin, Zhu Biao respected him very much and emphasized the importance of communicating with him and getting along well with him.

Under such circumstances, there would naturally be no arrogance.

He still listened to the words of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

Therefore, the relationship between him and Mei Yin seemed to be quite good.

Nothing unpleasant happened.

After talking to Mei Yin for a few words, Lan Yu said goodbye.

Boarded a ship docked here.

Soon, the ships were sailing down the river.

Mei Yin stood here and watched the fleet sail away with Liu Qiuyan.

So he left here and returned to Shuangshui Village.

He knew that this trip would represent the Ming Dynasty entering a new stage.

However, these are not his forte.

He also has more important things to do here.

Just wait and hear some good news about Jiangxi in the future.

He also believed that he had some involvement.

Many things will definitely be different from what happened in history.

At least Zhu's land measurement will not be different from the history where it took more than ten years to complete.

And Liu Lian would never be thrown into a well as happened in history.

Not to mention the personal guards he arranged for Liu Lian.

Even if not, the emperor's determination in mobilizing the army to assist in the farming project would be enough to make many people hesitate.

Don't dare to go too far in some things.

Do you really think that the current emperor, like any other emperor, would have such a good temper?

Lao Zhu really has the ability and determination to overturn the table.

After returning home, Mayin continued to work with the craftsmen to make a steam locomotive.

According to Mei Yin's estimation, he would be able to build a running train in about two months.

Of course, this is just the original, very crude steam train...

Two days later, a man came to Shuangshui Village to see Mei Yin.

After knowing who this person was, Mei Yin couldn't help but smile...
