Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 113 is fully loaded! Take stock of the harvest!!!

In a small city, Zhu Rong rode a horse, surrounded by many guards, slowly walking on the street, and the whole city was in chaos.

The people of Sakuragi in the city are fleeing frantically, while the Daming water army is pouring into the city with tens of thousands of people in Daming and plundering frantically.

Like locusts crossing the border, no grass is left!

It was already dark now, and today was the first day of disembarkation, but the people of Daming were excited and did not feel tired at all.

But Zhu Rong was a little sleepy, and said to the guards next to him: “Let’s rest early today, send people to guard the city gate, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter and exit.” ”

The guards hurriedly led the way.

The defenders in the city had already fled, and there was little resistance.

The prestige of the Daming Water Army has swept across Sakuragi Island.

All empires know the strength of the Daming Water Army, they have very terrifying weapons and equipment in their hands, and those backward weapons on their side are not opponents at all.

It’s okay for them to send the Ku Kou to harass the coastal area of Daming, but to let their regular army confront Daming’s regular army is not an opponent at all.

Whether it is the combat ability of individual soldiers, or the advantages of weapons and equipment, it is much worse, the only advantage that can be compared is the location, this is Sakuragi Island, is their base camp, they can gather several times or even dozens of times the force, with heads to fill a victory.

However, the current Sakuragi Island is not unified, and there are constant disputes between various empires, and there are blood feuds between each other, and they have not been able to reach an alliance for so long.

Even within the same empire, there are all kinds of intrigues, monarchs, ministers and many famous families, each with their own thoughts, for a time, they failed to form an effective resistance force.

Although many monarchs have realized this problem and must unite to resist the Daming army, but thinking and implementing are two different things, so these coastal empires are more affected, because the Daming water army mainly wreaks havoc along the coast of Sakuragi Island, grab and run, not too deep, so as not to be made dumplings.

As soon as the Daming Water Army landed, it directly defeated 10,000 troops in a very short time, and the news spread quickly, and the local officials were directly scared away.

Because the defenders in the city are already less than 2 people, what to use to resist the Daming water army?

And these brutal fellows, when they came last time, burned and plundered, did all kinds of evil, burned down every city, and killed all the officials, which has long scared him out!

Seeing that the Daming water army ran to his own territory, if he did not escape in advance, it would really be rusty in his brain.

And the people in the city, did not expect the people of the official family to be so unreliable, and the reaction was slow for a beat, and when the Daming Water Army entered the city, they knew that they had been abandoned, and the defenders and officials in the city had long since slipped away.

Therefore, they carried the softness and fled to the four city gates.

The softness they packed up in a hurry was basically worth a little money, and before they ran out of the city, they all fell into the hands of the people of Daming and the Daming water army.

The shops along the street were kicked open and smashed open by the people of Daming, searching for gold and silver jewelry inside.

Some rich and noble families have become the hardest hit areas, becoming the focus of attention of the Daming water army and the Daming people, and even the gold plating on some pillars will be scraped off by them.

There are also some works of art, the gold plating on it, has also been scraped off, originally a work of art may be more valuable, however, in the eyes of everyone, the art can not be taken away, only gold is the most valuable!

As for those artworks that are the same as the little devils, they can’t enter everyone’s eyes at all.

It wasn’t until the middle of the night that the whole city gradually quieted down.

The people of Daming each found a place to rest, rummaged through some food, filled their stomachs, and waited for tomorrow to continue the big war.

Before going to bed, you naturally have to count your harvest for the day, and then go to sleep with a sack in your arms.

On the second day, the army withdrew from the city, this time without directly burning it, and then moved on to the next city.

The villages and county towns passed along the way were not spared.

Don’t look at some villages that look dilapidated and poor, but there are families who go out to work as widows, and there are actually a lot of family funds accumulated over the years.

Many of them were cloth, ceramics, tea, and some copper coins, silver taels and so on stolen from the coastal people of Daming.

After saving up for many years, he was snatched back by the people of Daming.

His Royal Highness King Qi took the Daming water army and the people of Daming to do a vigorous job of land reclamation on Sakuragi Island!

On the other side, several major events also happened in Ying Tianfu.

The first is that the eldest son of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying, died in early May.

He lived only 8 years old and has not yet been canonized.

This is a major bad news for Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma has always liked this grandson, and has already regarded him as a grandson.

Who would have thought that before the official canonization, this child would suddenly die.

His maternal grandfather Chang Yuchun has passed away, and his uncle and grandfather Lan Yu are still in a stalemate with the Northern Yuan court in the north and cannot return at all.

After Zhu Xiongying’s death, he was posthumously honored as the prince of the emperor’s eldest grandson, with the nickname “Huai”, and buried in Zhongshan.

Later generations were thus called “King Yu Huai”.

I don’t know if it was because of Zhu Xiongying’s sudden death, or what, after the funeral, Empress Ma’s body also began to deteriorate, which made Zhu Yuanzhang more worried.

He has a deep relationship with Empress Ma, and he attaches great importance to many words of Empress Ma.

Over the years, Zhu Yuanzhang has a very heavy killing intention.

It was also the Empress Ma who interceded and saved one minister after another. Empress Ma doesn’t know whether she knows it or not, whether it is a founding merit or not, and if she can guarantee it, she will try her best to keep it.

Mainly because Zhu Yuanzhang killed too much.

And the reputation and prestige of the Empress Ma are excellent, both in the mouths of the courtiers and the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang invited a famous imperial doctor, but Empress Ma never got much better.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang accompanied Empress Ma, basking in the sun in the back garden, reminiscing about the past.

From Zhu Yuanzhang’s rebellion, to the two meeting and getting married, to the unreliable father-in-law to his accession to the throne, she became empress.

All the way hard, all the way support.

As he spoke, he talked about Old Seven.

Although Zhu Rong was not Empress Ma’s own child, he also recognized Empress Ma as his mother-in-law.

When I was a child, I often followed the Queen Ma.

Zhu Yuanzhang held Empress Ma’s hand, looked at the pond in the distance, and couldn’t help but sigh: “Old Seventh has grown up, and now, he can also share my worries”

Empress Ma sighed: “This child has been married for a while, why haven’t I heard any movement?” ”

Empress Ma felt that her health was getting worse day by day, so she looked forward to holding her grandson as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and Empress Ma reminded him: “Child.” ”

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realize that Old Seventh still had no children.

There has been no good news from the princess’s side, and I think she is not pregnant yet.

I don’t know if it was because of the sudden death of the crown prince’s grandson, Empress Ma’s feelings for her grandchildren began to become deeper.

“I don’t know if I can still hold Lao Qi’s grandson.”

Zhu Yuanzhang almost shed tears!

Leaving from the Empress Ma, he sent someone directly to Qingzhou City to ask if the princess was pregnant, if the pregnancy was reported immediately, if not pregnant, the soldiers divided into two ways, one way to respond to the news from Tianfu, and the other way, directly to Sakuragi Island, called Lao Qi, and hurried to give birth!

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang set up Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei was the first secret service agency of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founding emperor and peasant, very much wanted to make his world long-term peace, and when he was a child, he was fed up with the oppression of corrupt officials, in order to make the Daming Dynasty continue forever, and in order to be able to better control the situation of all officials, before the establishment of Jinyiwei.

The Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion has a part of the mission, which is similar to the function of Jinyiwei. But there is still a big difference between him and Jinyiwei, which is not specifically used to monitor ministers, such as Li Wenzhong, who was previously responsible for investigating the Qingzhou potato incident, was transferred to the Guozi Prison.

But Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this force was very useful.

As a result, the current Jinyiwei has become a pure secret service agency, directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang now distrusts many ministers, and many former ministers and generals have committed corruption and bribery.

Prime Minister Hu Weiyong was even more daring, poisoning Prince Zhu Biao for several years in a row, although he did not disclose this matter, but this matter made him angry to the extreme.

It is precisely because of this that the imperial court institutions, 4.2, so many officials were implicated and killed, as long as they were related to the Hu Weiyong case, almost all of them were killed by the angry Lao Zhu.

Now, the crown prince and grandson died suddenly, although the imperial doctor repeatedly tested and believed that it was not murdered, but Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply skeptical.

He suspected that someone had the same mind as Hu Weiyong and tried to shake the foundation of the old Zhu family by cutting off the bloodline of the old Zhu family.

And the first task taken over by Jinyiwei is to secretly investigate the death of the crown prince, is there any conspiracy?

Of course, the establishment of Jinyiwei is not only aimed at officials, but also includes helping Zhu Yuanzhang understand the reality of the people, and helping him deal with some things that are inconvenient for him, and at the same time, it can also feedback the collected information to Zhu Yuanzhang to help him better govern the country.

To put it simply, the original intention of Jinyiwei was to better manage ministers and help the emperor exercise power and govern the country.

The original intention was good, but later, it slowly changed its taste and became an authoritarian existence, making everyone in the court at risk, and becoming a cancer of the Ming Dynasty.

This is something that Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect.
