Chapter 245: The Change and Ambition of Zhu Yuanzhang

The world of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, 1378 AD.

Capital.

It has been more than a year since Zhu Yuanzhang entered the history chat group and began to change history.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the national policy of recuperating and rejuvenating, which resulted in continuous harvests in the past two or three years, the enemy still looked around Daming.

To the north, there are the forces of the Yuan Dynasty, with the heart to make a comeback.

There are Xifans in the west who are ready to move, especially this year they are moving frequently and seem to be making chaos.

To the southwest, especially in Yunnan, there are still some remnants of the Yuan Dynasty entrenched.

On the southeast coast, Japanese pirates often invaded, just like Xiaoqiang who could not be killed.

In China, life became richer, many civil and military officials began to enjoy it, corrupted, and landlords and gentry began to annex land...

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang knew all the problems and crises like this, just waiting for the opportunity to solve them.

Now, the time has come.

It has been nearly two years since the capital was moved to Beijing, and the situation has stabilized.

The system of prime ministers was abolished, a six-part cabinet system was implemented, and centralized power was added.

Some civil and military officials who should be dealt with have been resolved, such as some people headed by Hu Weiyong.Coupled with the severe punishment of corrupt officials, the officials have been cleaned up.

In terms of military affairs, the military household system of the guard post was completed and the military spirit was stable.The generals lead the troops without transferring them, and the military power is in control.

In the past two years, we have vigorously promoted the planting of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, ushering in continuous bumper harvests and sufficient national treasury.

Xifan, the remnant forces of the Yuan Dynasty moved stupidly, and the time for a formal conquest.

Daming firearms have been further developed, especially with artillery similar to the red cannon, flintlock and so on.

...

To sum up the reasons, Zhu Yuanzhang believes that he can give the enemy a blow, let them know the majesty and power of Ming!

Today Zhu Yuanzhang summoned cabinet ministers to discuss the matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, first assistant Liu Bowen, second assistant Li Shanchang, and Xu Da, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and others appeared in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair above, watching the prince and ministers in the lower hall, and said: "It has been nearly two years since I moved the capital to the capital. At the beginning, I said that moving the capital to the capital is to achieve "no peace, no money, no land. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the emperor died.” However, in order for the people of Ming Dynasty to take a good rest, I had to defend only, but the enemy became more arrogant and underestimated Da Ming.

Today, the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and the treasury is abundant. I want to honor the original promise, guard the country, protect the community, and let those who dare to offend and despise the Ming Dynasty truly feel the military front of the Ming Dynasty!"

"If you don't agree with your relatives, you don't pay money and you don't cut the land, the emperor guards the gate, and the emperor dies at the village" is a summary of the Ming Dynasty history.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that after reading the "China History Book", he felt that this was very powerful, so he said it in front of the civil and military officials when he moved the capital to Beijing.

At that time, the civil and military officials knew Zhu Yuanzhang's toughness and domineering, and his admiration was even greater.

It's just that the corrupt officials among the hundreds of civil and military officials who were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the past two years are full of heads.

The holy meaning is unpredictable, and the companion is like a tiger!

Zhu Yuanzhang still said impassionedly: "Although Qian Yuan fled to Mobei, he still didn't give up. He often attacked, and his heart to come back was not dead.

In the West, some fan countries are so greedy, and my kindness is regarded as weak by them, and they have born a rebellious heart!

In Yunnan, there is still a remnant force of the former Yuan entrenched, always preparing for the opportunity of a joint attack between the north and the south.

On the southeast coast, Japanese pirates invaded more than ever!

They can be deceived when they are me, Da Ming can be deceived!If they don't give a thunder blow, I'm afraid they really think that Daming is weak!"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly, Zheng Di said: "Today, I will use Daming's military front to make the invading enemy pay a painful price!"

Before the chief minister Liu Bowen spoke out, the second minister Li Shanchang went out first, saluting:

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Now, under your majesty's governance, Ming is rising in the world and the people are prosperous and the country is strong. It is the time to let the invading enemies feel the power of Ming and let them know that the majesty of Ming and his majesty is inviolable by the Holy God!

Xu Da, a cabinet minister and a minister of the Ministry of War, agreed to send troops, saying:

"Your Majesty, now the treasury is full, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the firearms are all available. The soldiers are already ready to fight on the battlefield and defend the country!"

The weapons of the Ministry of Defense, especially the firearms, have already filled the armory.

Moreover, Xu Da also wanted to lead his troops into battle, so he asked to fight: "Your Majesty, please fight, kill the invading enemy for your Majesty, and promote my majesty."

"Haha... Xu Da, courage is commendable."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with what Li Shanchang and Xu Da said, and said with a smile: "However, war will start and the Ministry of War is very important. Without you, I am not at ease. Besides, there will be opportunities in the future."

Xu Da was a little disappointed, but could only obey orders.

"Bowen, I have decided to send troops. But the enemies of the four directions are not easy to attack at the same time. Where do you first conquer and what strategy do you have?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and said.

In order to save Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang paid a three-year longevity fruit, otherwise Liu Bowen would have been poisoned to death by Hu Weiyong.

Rescuing Bowen Liu will extend his life for at least three years. As for how long he will live in the end, I don't know.

Knowing the history, Zhu Yuanzhang has used a three-year longevity fruit, and even more hopes to give full play to Liu Bowen's ability.

In the past two years or so, Bowen Liu has worked hard at the position of chief assistant in the cabinet and did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Li Shanchang often spoke ill of Liu Bowen, which made Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy.If it were not for the shortage of talents, Liu Bowen had to be checked and balanced by one person, or Zhu Yuanzhang would have demoted Li Shanchang and transferred.

Liu Bowen replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Daming's main enemy today is still the former Yuan forces.

However, it may take a lot of time to completely eliminate the remaining forces of the former Yuan, especially most of the fleeing to the North Desert.

The Japanese pirates on the southeast coast are mostly sneak attacks. If they are to be completely wiped out, the roots are in the Japanese pirate country. For this reason, Ming needs a strong ocean-going navy, otherwise it is difficult to win.

The remaining forces of the former Yuan in the north and the Japanese pirates in the southeast coast all need time.In this way, only the rebellious Fan Kingdom in the west and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty entrenched in Yunnan are left.

The minister believes that the rebellion of the Western Fans should be quelled first, and then the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan should be wiped out, so that the remaining forces in the Yuan Dynasty in the north and the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast can be dealt with with peace of mind...

Liu Bowen's analysis made sense, which coincided with what Zhu Yuanzhang thought.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "From your point of view, who should lead the troops when quelling the rebellion between Western Tibet and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan?"

Because he has taken Wanshou Guo, Liu Bowen is now in his 60s, but he is very healthy.
