Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 198 Another Dirty Job Arrives

With the defeat of the main Bengal army, the Ming army's offensive was unstoppable.

It took only three days to capture the entire Sultanate of Bengal.

The King of Bengal died at the hands of a traitor, and the gates of the capital were opened to welcome the Ming army.

When the tiger flag was planted on the city wall of the capital, the war was declared completely over.

At the same time, good news came from Xu Da.

With the help of his fearless ghost-faced soldiers and the cavalry's attack, he also conquered the entire country of Myanmar.

The rebellion is currently being suppressed and it is expected that the entire war will be concluded within three months.

Zhu Zhanjun, standing on the city wall of the capital of the Sultanate of Bengal, looked at the Asan District in the distance and a smile appeared on his face.

The first step of occupation has been completely completed, and the next step is to complete the repair and governance.

The road from Bengal to Ming Dynasty is under construction. After we have greater power and military force in our hands, we can start to annex India.

Zhu Zhanjun defined a basic territory for the Ming Dynasty, which is also the main area of ​​future development.

It extends to the Siberian Plain in the north, to Malacca in the south, to Japan in the east, and to the west, with India as the boundary, going northward and directly connecting to the Western Regions and other areas.

This area will become the most prosperous area in the world in the future, while other areas such as the West will only become auxiliary.

"The next step is to find someone who can manage this area. I don't know who the space will provide."

Post-war rule is the most difficult. Not only does one need to be familiar with local conditions, but one also needs to have sufficient military suppression capabilities and the ability to develop local people's livelihood.

Military, politics, and human customs must all be understood.

To be honest, there are very few people like this, and Zhu Zhanjun can't even guarantee whether he can find such a person.

Zhu Zhanjun cannot stay here for long. Once he finds a candidate, he will return to Ming Dynasty to prepare for the conquest of the north.

So next, if there is no suitable candidate, he will always choose to summon.

Fortunately, a lot of golden spring water has been stored during this period. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if no candidate could be summoned and there was not enough golden spring water.

At night, a group of people gathered in the space to greet unknown new partners.

Zhu Zhanjun led everyone to the lotus altar, placed his hands on it, and told the altar his thoughts.

As a result, there was no response from the altar for half an hour.

Just when Zhu Zhanjun thought that such a thing could not be found on the altar, the altar in the courtyard where Kangxi was suddenly lit up.

Everyone was stunned and looked towards Kangxi's yard.

"Hahahaha... they are from our Great Qing. They are from our Great Qing."

Kangxi was so excited that he jumped up on the spot and looked proudly at Old Zhu who was a little depressed beside him.

"Why are you so proud? Who knows, there might be another Wu Sangui."

Seeing this guy showing off, Lao Zhu muttered something in a low voice.

Zhu Zhanjun was too lazy to pay attention to the two guys who were competing with each other, so he led everyone into Kangxi's yard.

As everyone entered, they could see the situation of the altar clearly.

"Hey, why did the color and shape change again?"

Zhu Biao, who had the most seniority besides Old Zhu, looked at the altar in confusion.

The light emitted by the altar was half golden and half dark gold, and the light gate that appeared was different from what had been seen before. It was a rotating yin and yang Tai Chi.

"Tsk tsk tsk, half gold and half black, this person is quite complicated."

“I don’t know if anyone is as good as me!”

Zhu Houzhao, who also came to join in the fun today, looked at the Yin-Yang Tai Chi with excitement.

Zhu Zhanjun stepped forward and tried to push open the Yin-Yang Tai Chi gate.

But the door did not open. Instead, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram rotated rapidly, and dark golden rays of light were projected out, illuminating the square in the courtyard.

"Om..."

Suddenly, the whole space buzzed, and a vortex appeared out of nowhere, slowly rotating counterclockwise.

"Everyone step back, be careful of accidents!"

Zhu Zhanjun hurriedly helped Empress Ma back away.

At the same time, Lao Zhu and others picked up the weapons next to them and prepared for battle.

This was the first time they had encountered such a special situation, and they had no idea whether any unexpected events would occur.

As the vortex spun faster and faster, golden and dark golden spots of light projected out from it, forming an illusory human figure.

He wears a topknot with a peacock feather on his head and standard Qing dynasty attire, with court beads and patches slowly emerging.

"This official uniform looks a bit like the Governor-General of Liangjiang."

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi could distinguish the small details on the other person's clothes and judge his position at a glance.

Governor of Liangjiang?

Zhu Zhanjun racked his brains for a long time but couldn't figure out any capable people among the Governor-Generals of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty?
Of course, it is also possible that he does not like the Qing Dynasty and does not know much about some of its history.

Zhu Zhanjun was not very interested in most people in the Qing Dynasty, except for famous people like Xu Shou who were related to academic studies.

The figure became more and more solid, and soon took on a complete form.

He is about 40 years old, with a serious face, and should be a very stern person.

When the summoning vortex disappeared, everyone gathered around, curiously looking at the person who made such a commotion. Under the gaze of everyone, the man shook his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.

There was a large crowd of people surrounding him, which made him stunned for a moment. But when he saw Zhu Zhanjun, he immediately bowed deeply to greet him.

"Your Highness, I, Zeng Guofan, pay my respects to you!"

"Zeng Guofan."

Zhu Zhanjun reacted instantly. He seemed to vaguely remember that Zeng Guofan was eventually transferred to the position of Governor-General of Liangjiang and died in depression.

Zhu Zhanjun didn't know much about it, mainly because he was really not interested in the Qing Dynasty.

But from the bits and pieces of memories, it can be judged that with Zeng Guofan's ability, it is definitely more than enough for him to work with Hu Ruzhen to manage the entire southern region.

To be honest, it’s just that the roads are not very connected, otherwise any one of them could easily manage the entire southern region.

"I didn't expect that it was Bohan who came. Get up quickly."

Zhu Zhanjun stepped forward to help the man up, then turned around and introduced him to the puzzled crowd: "This is Zeng Guofan from the late Qing Dynasty, one of the four famous ministers. Of course, he has another more famous name besides this."

"Second Great-grandfather, what's that title? Is he greater than me? I am Emperor Wuzong, with the same status as Emperor Wu of Han. Could it be that he is more powerful than me?"

Zhu Houzhao looked incredulous. He didn't believe that no matter how powerful a minister was, he could be more powerful than him, the emperor.

Zhu Qizhen raised his foot and kicked Zhu Houzhao on the buttocks: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Listen to your great-grandfather and forget about your lousy reputation. Can't you see that it was those civil servants who were mocking you?"

Zhu Houzhao glared and said, "The ridicule I give is better than yours."

Seeing that the two guys were still arguing in front of outsiders, Lao Zhu raised his hand with a dark face and hit each of them on the head.

"Shut up, or I'll beat you two to death."

The two of them immediately stopped talking.

Zhu Zhanjun smiled and said to everyone: "Yanhuang has two semi-sages, one is Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other is Wang Yangming in the Houzhao Period. They are the two great saints recognized by Yanhuang."

Then he added in a low voice: "His nickname is Zeng the Barber. In Yanhuang Ming Dynasty, he is as bad as Wu Sangui, but some people think he can be called a semi-saint."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he held his hands on his waist and laughed out loud.

"Shaving your head means you are a pioneer in keeping your hair but not your head. You can't be a die-hard lackey of the Manchu Nuzhen."

Old Zhu raised his hand and gave him another slap on the head.

Zhu Houzhao shut up immediately.

Zhu Zhanjun smiled and gave him a look that said you understand.

Next, Zhu Zhanjun introduced everyone present to Zeng Guofan one by one.

Zeng Guofan was shocked beyond words.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Youjiao, Zhu Houzhao, Empress Ma, any one of these is a figure that shocked the world throughout history.

When Kangxi and Napoleon were introduced, Zeng Guofan was shocked to the point of numbness.

When Xu Da was introduced, Zeng Guofan bowed repeatedly and kept expressing his admiration.

The Yanhuang people are like this, when they meet someone famous, they start to praise each other.

After everyone finished talking, Queen Ma smiled and invited everyone to a welcoming banquet.

In order to cooperate with her husband, every time there was a new person, Empress Ma would take Mrs. Lu and others to prepare a sumptuous welcoming banquet to show her appreciation for the new person.

Zeng Guofan expressed his gratitude and went to the banquet hall with everyone.

The host and the guests took their seats, and Lao Zhu stood up and made a speech.

In general, conflicts and quarrels can be resolved privately, but they must not affect Zhu Zhanjun's plans.

As Zhu finished his speech, everyone raised their glasses to welcome Zeng Guofan, and the banquet officially began.

Zhu Houzhao, a playful guy, naturally would not ignore this opportunity to show off. He directly brought the Tibetan mastiff raised by Zhu Qizhen over to perform a man-animal fight for everyone.

As a result, he was chased by the Tibetan Mastiff for several miles.

After a grand welcoming banquet, everyone else began to go back to their own work. Zhu Zhanjun, Zhu Biao, Zhu Kangxi and others told Zeng Guofan about the situation outside.

After Zeng Guofan understood the situation, he also knew what he should do next.

"I have also heard of this area. After I explain it to you, it shouldn't be a problem to manage it."

"What do you need?"

Zhu Zhanjun did not beat around the bush and asked Zeng Guofan directly what he needed.
"Weapons, money, food, and warships."

"Don't you want soldiers?"

When Zhu Biao heard that the other party only wanted weapons, money, food and ships, he was a little confused. It would be useless if they had no soldiers.

Zeng Guofan smiled, took out a token from his arms and put it on the table.

When everyone looked, they saw a big word "Xiang" on the token.

When Zhu Zhanjun saw the token, he suddenly understood.

He said, Zeng Guofan's position was to guard the palace, so why didn't he bring troops like Xu Da and Zheng Zilong?

It seems that this army is hidden!
