Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

"King Yan also has a navy!"

"real or fake?"

"It's absolutely true. The news came from the palace. I heard that the main force of Songjiangkou Division has been defeated. The navy secretly hidden by King Yan has gone straight to our Jinling City.

"I also heard that His Majesty has ordered the loyal and brave Duke Xu Xianchang to command sixteen armored ships to fight the Yanhua Navy outside the city on the Qinhuai River!"

"Hey, this is really going to be a fight. I just don't understand what your Majesty wants to do!"

…

Not only did Zhu Biao not cover up this news.

He also deliberately let the news spread from the palace.

He also opened the heavily guarded city gates in Jinling, allowing the people to go out of the city to watch the battle that was about to take place on the Qinhuai River.

Within the city of Jinling, things were shaking up and down, and people were talking at the same time.

Eyes wide open, waiting for the battle to come.

Zhu Biao came to Huitong Hall in a low-key manner.

"My child pays homage to his father."

The hero stood in the hall and outside the garden, bowing and saluting.

Zhu Biao glanced at Xiongying and said indifferently as he walked in: "After staying for several days, it's time to go back. No matter what happens, no matter what emotional ties there are, don't forget that you are the grandson of the Ming Dynasty. , you should have the interests of Ming Dynasty in your heart.”

Xiongying's mouth was filled with bitterness.

My father has ascended the throne.

Is he still the grandson of Ming Dynasty?

This identity is somewhat too funny now.

But he can't leave now.

The news that Ye Kai commanded eight armored ships to enter the inland canal from the mouth of Songjiang River had already spread throughout the city, so he naturally knew about it.

At this time, my father came to see my fourth uncle.

Are you going to threaten your fourth uncle's life?

He would never allow this to happen.

"Father..."

snort!

Obviously, Zhu Biao knew what Xiongying wanted to say. He just took a few steps. After hearing it, he hummed, turned around, and looked at Xiongying with a serious and cold face, "What, you want to teach your father how to do things, right? Your performance now, I think , can you become a qualified prince?"

Xiongying's eyes were slightly red, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao aggrievedly.

He knew what his father wanted to say.

Isn’t he a qualified prince?

Of course he knew that as a prince, he could not act emotionally.

But if it was his fourth uncle, he wouldn't be able to believe it.

This prince is not the right one.

"If it is in my father's heart, this prince must be like this, no..."

"Brother."

At this moment, Zhu Di's voice sounded.

I saw Zhu Di, accompanied by Yong Ming, walking out of the garden and saying with a smile: "Brother, didn't you come to see me? Why are you so serious with Xiongying? Are you envious of the relationship between our uncle and nephew? ?”

Zhu Yunwen, who followed Zhu Biao, looked at Zhu Di in surprise.

At the same time, he secretly observed Zhu Biao from the corner of his eyes.

jealous?

Can such words be said directly?

Where is the father?

Will you become angry?

Zhu Yunwen guessed, but Zhu Biao became angry and did not show up.

Instead, the frost on Zhu Biao's face melted instantly.

He raised his finger and pointed at Zhu Di, and said with a smile: "You fourth child, just try to sow discord between our father and son. I can't control this child anymore. You can control it. Anyway, he listens to you."

Zhu Biao said and walked towards the garden of Huitong Hall.

Zhu Di walked up to Xiongying.

He smiled and patted Xiongying on the shoulder, "Go back. You shouldn't doubt that your father would threaten the life of your fourth uncle. It's understandable that he would be angry and angry about this."

"First of all, he doesn't bother to do this kind of thing and will never do it. Even if your father wants to defeat fourth uncle Yanhua, at the same time, he will care about his safety more than anyone else."

It can be said that the defeat of Yanhua was out of consideration for the interests of the country as the king of the Ming Dynasty.

But if at this time, the eldest brother threatens his life, or lets the conservatives who hate him do things that endanger his life.

The eldest brother will definitely be labeled as a hypocrite and a hypocrite by later history.

If this time, he loses.

Yanhua was defeated by his eldest brother's plan.

He may never be free again.

But life is absolutely safe.

As long as my eldest brother is alive, we will never allow conservatives to threaten his life while he is in office.

The eldest brother would even put him in a very honorable position even though he didn't have much real power.

In this way, the history of future generations will definitely leave a mark on my eldest brother.

Plan for the country.

Protect him Zhu Di for the sake of family love!

A good emperor who distinguishes between public and private matters!

At this moment, the Yuan Dong Palace Guards who surrounded the Huitong Hall were not so much imprisoning him as they were protecting him in disguise.

After all, Xiongying still doesn’t understand his elder brother.

"Secondly, even if your father really has such a plan, you should not say such words, because you are his son. If you are the fourth uncle, if Yong Ming speculates on me like this and says it out loud, I He will also be angry and take Cai Lu, Ma Qian and the two children back. "

Xiongying bowed solemnly, "Fourth uncle, Xiongying understands."

Zhu Di watched Xiongying leave.

Turning around, he saw from a distance that Zhu Biao was sitting on the stone pier beside the stone table in the pavilion, and Yong Ming was pouring tea for Zhu Biao next to him.

Zhu Yunwen stood behind Zhu Biao.

"Yong Ming, do you think your father is a good man?" Zhu Biao took the tea made by Yong Ming and asked with a smile.

Yong Ming fiddled with a set of tea sets brought by Zhu Di and said with a smile: "Uncle, it depends on what standards are used to judge."

"My father often said that judging from the common people's simple values ​​of good and evil, politicians in power like us, whether they are cruel or wise, are not good people."

"Because every decision we make, even if it benefits the most people, many innocent people will be swept away by the torrent of orders we issue."

“My father often mentioned that when he was in Fujian, he knew that there were some rural cooperatives that accepted gentry capital, and he also knew what would eventually happen if gentry capital participated in rural cooperatives.”

"But he didn't stop it at the time. In order to warn future generations and the court, he deliberately let it go."

…

That time, my father visited the south.

He didn't follow.

But he knew exactly what happened that time.

"When the imperial grandfather visited these rural communities that his father had used as warning examples, the people in the villages who were persecuted and enslaved by the gentry and landlords learned that his father had deliberately indulged in indulgence, and one of his family members had all been persecuted and died one after another. , a middle-aged man whose legs were broken, spat at his father. "

"And this time during the raid on the evil gentry, when my father raised his butcher knife, he did not show any mercy to the children who were babbling."

"During my time at Yanhua, my father always mentioned this matter."

"My father said that judging from the simple value standards of people's good and evil, he is undoubtedly an executioner with blood on his hands."

"And there are actually many, many things like this."

"In the process of every decision made by the court, under the influence of policies, when major changes occur in the private economy, there will always be people who cannot keep pace with the times. If they fall behind too much, they will be eliminated and their living conditions will temporarily deteriorate. , it’s still pretty good, and there are still people who have been overwhelmed by the tide of the times.”

"Those who hold power are like an elephant. They are too big and make too much noise with every step they take. Even if they choose to walk on the right path, many people are bound to be affected in a bad way."

…

Until Zhu Di sat down on the stone pier opposite Zhu Biao.

Yong Ming just stopped.

Zhu Biao glanced at Yong Ming meaningfully and said, "You and Yunwen should wait far away. Your father and I have something to talk about alone."

Yong Ming did not ask Zhu Di for instructions. After bowing solemnly, he asked Zhu Yunwen to leave.

Zhu Biao stared at Yong Ming's back.

After a while, he turned around and sighed with envy: "Fourth brother, Yong Ming is very good. To be honest, eldest brother is a little envious of you."

He was 100% sure.

If so, he would not be able to defeat Yanhua during his reign.

The fourth generation.

Then pass on to the Yongming generation.

This father and son rule in two generations.

Yanhua will inevitably replace the Central Plains and become the center of the world!

Pearl of the world!

He told the truth.

This kid Yong Ming.

To be honest, it doesn't look like him.

In terms of personality, he is more like Miao Yun.

In his temperament, he has the softness on the outside and the hardness on the inside of Miaoyun, but in his bones, he lacks enough coldness and hardness.

To put it simply, it means being resilient.

And not hard enough.

This kind of character, in political struggles, lacks the courage to move forward and sink the boat. On the contrary, he prefers the art of hiding needles in the sea and leaning towards the art of struggle and compromise.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

No matter what kind of character a person is, it actually doesn't matter.

It just depends on whether you can control your own personality.

Which successful emperors in ancient times are similar?

The First Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Father Emperor...

These kings.

Which one has no flaws in his character.

At the same time, there were many competitors with them who had better personalities than them.

They can succeed.

In the final analysis, it lies in being able to control your own personality well.

His family is Yong Ming.

It has been relatively successful historically.

Therefore, instead of forcing the child to change his personality, change in the direction that his father wants.

In recent years, he has mostly taught Yong Ming and several other children.

How to recognize your own personality and better control your personality.

"The reason why my eldest brother has always believed that Xiongying is not enough to become a qualified prince. In the final analysis, he is just a hero and has not become the prince you want. Brother is just repeating the mistakes that my father made in the past."

"This is also a mistake that many parents in the world are repeating."

"Brother has experienced this firsthand, so why would he want to make the same mistake as his father?"

Zhu Biao was speechless.

Unexpectedly, I was lectured by my younger brother.

Unfortunately, he couldn't refute these words.

Then he shook his head with a smile and changed the subject, "You are becoming more and more eloquent. Are you right that you are still resentful of me for not immediately appointing a hero as your heir apparent?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said solemnly: "Eldest brother guessed wrong. Eldest brother did not appoint Xiongying as the crown prince immediately. I can guess a little about what he was thinking, but there is no need to care."

"Because besides the heroes, there will be no one else, and there cannot be anyone else, except for the heroes of the third generation of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and looked directly at Zhu Di, "Why, fourth brother, do you still want to interfere in the internal affairs of the imperial court and the appointment of a prince? Don't forget, you are now the master of Yanhua, Ming and Yan China and China are two political powers, and Ming Dynasty’s internal affairs do not allow other countries to interfere!”

Zhu Di smiled indifferently.

After filling Zhu Biao's tea cup again, he stared at his own cup in front of him with a smile on his lips. At a certain moment, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao, "Brother, you are here to have an open conversation with me. ”

"Then I won't hide it."

"If the third generation prince of the imperial court is not a hero, then when the eldest brother leaves and the third generation new emperor ascends the throne, it will be the day when I lead my troops to fight back to the Central Plains. I will not admit that your other sons will become The Lao Zhu family, the orthodox and legitimate heirs to the imperial power of the Central Plains!"

"I am not interfering in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. It's just because, in my heart, I have long regarded heroes as sons. A father makes the decision for his son. This is not considered interfering in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Zhu Di pointed at Zhu Yunwen, who was standing with Xiongying in the distance, "Big brother likes that Yunwen has a personality like yours, right? If one day he sits on the throne, I will definitely come back, pull him down with my own hands, and send him away." He became a monk and at the same time implicated his mother's clan and those conservatives in annihilating the clan..."

Snapped!

Zhu Biao slammed the case.

Suddenly stood up.

With a pale face, he glared at Zhu Di, "Fourth brother, you are too lenient. This is why I must defeat you Yanhua! You are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty! Don't stretch your hands too long!"

Bang bang bang...

As Zhu Biao spoke, he clapped his hands angrily.

In the distance, Zhu Yunwen and Yong Ming were alarmed.

Zhu Yunwen was a little frightened, looking at the two people looking at each other in the pavilion, turned his head, looked at Yong Ming, and said deliberately: "Third brother is not afraid, fourth uncle angers my father like this, will it have immeasurable consequences for your family in the future? "

With a smile on his face, Yong Ming spread his hands and said: "Anyway, we juniors can't care about their adults' affairs. If the uncle really wins, then I will kneel down in front of the uncle and hug his thick legs. , I plead with tears and snot, I don’t believe that the uncle can really kill such a lovable nephew. "

‘If my father doesn’t kill you, I will kill you too! ’

Zhu Yunwen looked at Yong Ming's appearance, and the corners of his lips twitched fiercely.

He suspected that Zhu Yongming was so shameless when he was born in Tuqiao Village and learned it from the humble people in Tuqiao Village.

I heard that it was in Yanjing.

Brother and sister Zhu Yongming also have a very close relationship with the older generation in Tuqiao Village.

What's more, he often hangs out among ordinary people.

It’s understandable if you learn from the bottom class, who are shameless in order to survive.

"Third brother should not hang out with those lower class people in the future. Even if my fourth uncle founded Yanhua and separated from the Ming Dynasty, he will still be a descendant of the Zhu family's royal family. Third brother must not embarrass our royal family."

Yong Ming looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile, "Fifth brother, don't forget that the imperial grandfather learned all his skills from the common people. You can't forget your roots as a man."

Zhu Yunwen suddenly glared angrily.

Yong Ming smiled with a smile on his face and ignored him. He turned around and looked in the direction of the pavilion.

It's a pity that they couldn't hear what the two elders said?

Zhu Biao glared at Zhu Di angrily, looking at Zhu Di with a domineering look that did not flinch, and his anger became more intense. At the same time, he could not help but feel helpless.

As long as Yanhua is not defeated.

No matter how angry he is.

The fourth child is qualified to issue such a threat.

They can all interfere with the selection of the third generation successor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao sat down slowly and looked at Zhu Di, "This is why big brother must take this opportunity to quickly defeat Yanhua."

"As long as you are in Jinling, it won't take long to defeat Yanhua. In the future, you can live peacefully and be a wealthy and idle king in Jinling."

"Big brother is here to invite you to watch the battle in the city and see how the imperial court defeated the eight armored ships you had hidden. You are making preparations in secret. Do you think that big brother is not prepared?"

"Those people in your navy are indeed very loyal and unwilling to betray you. But in recent years, my eldest brother has also secretly trained a group of young talents who understand steam engines and steam battleships for today. You must understand that although the imperial court does not have iron-clad ships, This kind of physical battleship.”

"But since Xu Xianchang is mine, how your Yanhua trains the navy, how each combat unit of the ironclad ship operates, and a series of other steps are not secrets to me. This group of talents I have trained has been secretly simulated for more than ten years. Year."

"Fourth brother, you're in trouble this time!"

Zhu Di listened silently.

He was undeniable.

This must be the main purpose of Big Brother targeting him.

But are there other emotions at play?

The eldest brother doesn’t say anything.

He didn't bother to point it out.

Anyway, since Xu Xianchang's betrayal, their brothers have come to an end.

Except blood.

There is no more brotherhood.

Zhu Di shook his head, "I won't go. I don't want to stand on the top of the city and watch my brothers fight for their lives."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly.

…

at the same time.

On the Qinhuai River.

Woo woo woo...

Sixteen armored ships, the communication whistles of different lengths sounded.

Inside the island cabin of one of the battleships.

A young general stood in front of the window, a little excited, and frowned slightly, looking out the window, a little lost.

Fight with Yanhua!

Starting from the 23rd year of Hongwu.

This group of people was secretly summoned by His Majesty, who was the Crown Prince at the time, to learn how to operate ironclad ships in the Yanhua Navy.

At that time, there were six to seven thousand people.

Was secretly summoned for closed training.

They are all prisoners.

He, Ma He, was the current Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and was captured along with his parents when Xiping Hou Muying conquered Yunnan.

Because he was literate and had some cultural background, he was fortunate enough to be secretly recruited.

When summoned by the prince.

They were told.

As long as he can stand out from the elimination and selection and finally stay, not only can he be freed from the crime, but so can his family.

At first, he was fighting to get rid of his crime.

Gradually, in simulation learning.

He had an unprecedented yearning for Yanhua's navy in the tutorial.

He imagined Yanhua's armored ship countless times.

Now, I finally stand on the Yanhua armored ship.

However, this method is somewhat disgraceful.

But to be able to fight against the Yanhua Navy, which they admire and yearn for and are number one in the world, is undoubtedly an exciting and nervous thing.

It would be better if it was more aboveboard.

"It's a pity that we are on the Qinhuai River. It would be better if we could fight on the sea."

Hearing this, a group of young staff officers behind the scenes who were busy drawing and making arrangements looked up with a smile: "Captain, as long as we defeat the Yanhua Navy, we will have a chance to fight against the Yanhua Navy on the sea. The big deal is, When the war starts, let’s not make a fatal move and let the Yanhua navy escape to the sea. Why don’t we just..."

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier rushed into the command room of the ship island, "Mr. Zhongyong sent someone to confirm whether our ship clearly grasped the whistle signal. In half an hour, the target ship will arrive for the first straddle-shooting drill. Order our ship be prepared!"

Ma He tidied up his military uniform.

Although I am very disdainful of this loyal and brave man.

But he still solemnly said: "Reply to Lord Zhongyong, our ship is ready!"

Straddling!

They also conducted a lot of training in Panyang Lake, using ordinary wooden boats with artillery mounted on them.

The results are very good.

But this, after all, is the first time to operate an ironclad ship!
