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

Chapter 94: Li Yunlong Strikes and Cuts Off His Son!!!

Princess Wu Yan was in the Qi royal mansion and ordered a large number of servants to move out all the copper money accumulated in the warehouse to be cleaned and dried.

The consistent copper money was spread on the ground, like Wang Yang, emitting a strange smell of patina.

The domestic servant brought clean water, brushed the patina on it with a brush, and then put it in a clean place to dry.

Princess Wu Yan sat on a chair made of golden silk nanmu, basking in the sun while supervising the work of the Jia family servants.

She smelled the smell of copper money in the air, and narrowed her eyes happily, just like the pastoral cat lying on the wall, lazily.

But in this world, the rich die and the poor die!

In the north of the Daming Dynasty, on the vast grassland, this is the world of the Northern Yuan.

After withdrawing from the northern steppe, the Yuan aristocracy continued to maintain power, which lasted for more than two hundred years, almost as long as the Ming dynasty, and finally unified with the Qing dynasty.

The army and nobles of the Yuan Dynasty were expelled from the Central Plains by Zhu Yuanzhang, and these nobles stood firm, and after the establishment of the Northern Yuan, they still tried to re-enter the Central Plains, and in their eyes, it was to regain their own territory.

Therefore, constantly organize forces to counterattack.

In order to consolidate his rule, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted an iron-blooded strategy of conquest against the Northern Yuan. As a result, neither side was able to achieve its wishes, and a situation of confrontation between the north and the south was formed.

And Zhu Yuanzhang’s attitude towards the Northern Yuan at this stage is still dominated by iron-blooded conquest, because there is no mutual market between the two dynasties, and the direct consequence of this is the lack of materials in the Northern Yuan!

The Northern Yuan aristocracy, who are accustomed to a luxurious life, are unbearable under this huge gap.

The Northern Yuan lacked salt and iron, and had elite soldiers and Humvees, however, life in the steppe was bad. Zhu Yuanzhang had long ordered a ban on the salt and iron business in the border and forbade the smuggling of inland salt and iron 05 to the Northern Yuan.

And in this cold winter that has just passed, many people in the Northern Yuan are hungry, and the tribesmen migrate again and again to drive cattle and sheep, just to fill their stomachs.

Hunger inspired the original wildness of the tribesmen, and they launched repeated attacks on the Daming border pass, just to plunder.

Grain, clothing, gold and silver must be snatched back as long as they can be snatched, even if some tribesmen die.

From winter to spring, sneak attacks and plunders are all small-scale, but the frequency is very high, which is very understandable, winter is difficult for the people of the Central Plains, let alone for the Northern Yuan people.

And this has also become an excuse for Zhu Yuanzhang to send troops, and no one can stop it!

Prince Zhu Biao tried his best to stop it, but in the end he failed to do so, and Lan Yu was named the general of the Northern Expedition, leading an army of 200,000 and heading out for the Northern Yuan!

Not long after Lanyu set off, the imperial court received news that the remnants of the entrenched forces in Yunnan, the Yuan Dynasty’s Right Chengguanfu Bao, launched another offensive against the Daming city.

Zhu Yuanzhang also named Fu Youde as a general to conquer Yunnan, leading an army of 200,000 to march south to Yunnan!

If it is said that the conquest of the Northern Yuan was deliberately done by Zhu Yuanzhang, then the southern conquest of Yunnan is forced to go to war.

But the arrow is on the string, it has to be sent, and it is impossible for him to let Lan Yu return again!

Therefore, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the historical trajectory of the Daming Dynasty completely underwent major changes, and a mighty southern conquest and northern war began!

King Qi’s Mansion, study.

A businessman dressed as Ying Tianfu’s eyeliner was reporting to Zhu Rong in the study.

He had just returned from Ying Tianfu.

“Your Highness, General Lan Yu has already led an army of 200,000 to set off, and soon, it will pass through my Qi Land, and then through the Yan King Territory.”

Zhu Rong nodded and asked about the affairs of the Northern Yuan, and Zhu Yuanzhang had revealed the news to him years ago, so Zhu Rong was not surprised.

And the next words of this eyeliner surprised Zhu Rong.

Zhu Rong was drinking tea slowly, only listening to the merchant’s eyeliner and continuing: “Just 10 days after General Lanyu set out, there was turmoil in Yunnan, and the Yuan Dynasty Youcheng attacked my Daming city, and His Majesty ordered General Fu Youde to conquer Yunnan. ”

“Ahem!”

Zhu Rong choked on the tea and couldn’t help but cough.

Taking a step forward in the businessman’s dressed eyeliner, Zhu Rong waved his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to look at him, and said in disbelief: “Two-front war? ”

The merchant nodded.

Zhu Rong gasped and stood up a little uneasily.

This gave him a very bad feeling.

At the same time, it is a bit of a big step to conquer the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the south, and to deal with the huge imperial court of the Northern Yuan in the north.

Zhu Rong walked around the study a little anxiously.

Although his understanding and control of the war situation is certainly not as good as those famous generals of Daming, and he does not think that he is better than Zhu Yuanzhang, he vaguely feels that it is not a good thing to start a war on two fronts.

Prince Zhu Biao’s dissuasion was correct.

If it was just a one-line war, Zhu Rong did not think that there would be any problems, and the Daming Dynasty had enough troops to maneuver, even if it could not achieve a big victory, it would not lose too much.

However, in the event of a war on two fronts, the consequences are unpredictable.

But he can’t do anything, he has almost no influence in Yingtianfu, don’t look at the few merits he has made now, but to put it bluntly, it is to improve the basic livelihood of Daming, such as grain, asphalt roads and disaster relief, which are not related to war!

He coldly put forward an opinion, and no one in the hall would pay attention to it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more unlikely to listen to him.

What the crown prince Zhu Biao can’t dissuade, His Royal Highness King Qi can dissuade?!

Moreover, the army has already set off, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent. It’s hard to ride a tiger, so you can only do it reluctantly!

Zhu Rong now regrets a little, he feels that the timing of the rifle is a little inappropriate, this thing was shown to Zhu Yuanzhang too early, so that his confidence inexplicably swelled, coupled with the story of gold everywhere, it produced a huge temptation for Zhu Yuanzhang, making Zhu Yuanzhang want to achieve greater achievements in his lifetime.

Then, this hasty strategic decision was made.

However, he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would suddenly parachute into Qingzhou City.

There was no time to prepare him psychologically, and since Zhu Yuanzhang came to Qingzhou City, he wanted to hide and lock up, but it was not so easy.

Even if it is hidden for a while, the eyeliner of the imperial court, once it detects the situation and reports it to Zhu Yuanzhang, the nature can change.

A clan king who is entrenched on one side secretly creates a large number of new weapons with superior performance, and what he wants to do is easy to arouse people’s imagination.

For Zhu Rong, it was also very helpless, although it was said that the emperor and the Ma Emperor came to Qingzhou later, which was an unprecedented glory, giving him great face and making this marriage a beautiful event.

But it also disrupted many of his deployments and triggered this unpredictable war of the south and the north.

The house leak happened to be rainy, and just when the Daming Dynasty was waging the southern conquest and the northern war, the Sakuragi Kuko did not stop.

In the coastal areas of Qidi, small groups of cowards have actually begun to appear.

This matter is also related to Zhu Rong.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Wu Kou were mainly concentrated along the southeast coast.

In fact, from the perspective of geographical location, the coastal areas of the Wu Kou mainland and the Ming Dynasty, which are relatively close, also include Qidi.

The reason why the Wu Kou preferred to invade from the south was that at that time, the southerners were generally shorter than the northerners, and the people of Qi were fierce.

Landing from Qi is always no benefit.

In many cases, there was no need for government organization, and once the Wu Kou came ashore, burned and plundered the people, and before they could escape with the things they had snatched, they were attacked by the people and beaten to death by swarming with sticks.

Therefore, very few of them chose to plunder from Qidi, but in the past two years, after Zhu Rong came to Qidi, the first major thing was to start the salt business.

And with the salt of the Qi royal mansion, it flooded the market, forcing the salt merchants in Qi to frantically reduce prices, not to mention the private salt dealers who survived in the cracks.

And the private salt dealers in Qidi are not quite a few, because the sea is there, and the salt that comes out of the sun is not in vain!

This is a lucrative business, and there are always some private salt dealers who are bold and fat, and dare to risk killing their heads to make a mistake.

Therefore, the salt of the private salt dealers is cheaper, which makes the Wu Kou see business opportunities.

Not everyone rushes up and grabs it.

The main force in this was actually the famous families of Sakuragi itself, who organized merchants to establish secret channels and trade with merchants along the coast of the Ming Dynasty443.

But at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang’s attitude towards Wu Kou was very clear, one word, is to kill!

As a result, the hard-built trade channels were destroyed at every turn.

And how can the Ku Kou, who have crossed the sea, return empty-handed?

At this time, it will change from smuggling to plunder.

In the Qi Di area, the Wu Kou often did not reap the benefits, so at the beginning, they were actually trying to establish a procurement channel with the private salt dealers here, not because they were kind and did not like to plunder, but because they did not want to cause trouble and just wanted to make money.

Wanting to make this trading channel more durable, the private salt dealers were in Qidi, and the past two years were not good, so the two sides hit it off.

After the private salt is transported back to the native Sakuragi mainland, it can earn more than 10 times the profit, and plundering or not is not the point, the focus is to get the salt in hand and transport it back to the mainland.

After arriving in Qidi, Ku Kou was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was it cheap here, but the cloth was also very cheap!

Moreover, it is still a good cotton cloth!

And all this is related to a series of big moves after Zhu Rong came to Qidi.

But the common people did not care about this, and when they discovered the cohort, they attacked them en masse, killing a few and capturing a few.

But the movement has become loud.

As soon as Jinan Buzheng envoy Tie Xuan saw the situation, the opportunity to make meritorious contributions came!

Directly wrote a chapter to Zhu Yuanzhang, exaggerating the scale and number of Kuko!

Zhu Yuanzhang was now fighting in the south and the north, and the Wu Kou in the southeast were still raging, so he ordered the envoys of Jinan Province and Zhu Rong, the king of the Qi clan, to jointly deal with the Wu Kou.

Zhu Rong didn’t know this news at all, or the Jinan government envoy sent someone to inform, and then, he received the will of the imperial court, and Zhu Rong learned about this matter, and he was immediately overjoyed.

“And this good thing?!”

“Come on!”

“Call Li Yunlong to me!”
