Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 152 Aluta’s suspicion, something is wrong with the Ming Dynasty!

"Uh..." Zhu Gaochi, Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others were stunned when they heard Zhu Quan's words.

However, the next moment they felt relieved.

Thinking about what happened to Zhu Yunhuan, although Zhu Quan's words were a bit vulgar, they were actually quite correct.

"Conquering the grasslands, if we can really do it, our Ming Dynasty will probably usher in a real prosperous era." Zhu Quan's face was full of emotion.

"Indeed!" Zhu Gaochi, Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others nodded, their faces full of agreement.

In history, only the Tang Dynasty was called the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty conquered the grassland.

Although conquering the grassland does not necessarily mean that a prosperous era will be ushered in, without conquering the grassland, one will not even be qualified to usher in a prosperous era.

Conquering the grassland is a prerequisite for ushering in a prosperous era. Otherwise, no matter how prosperous the dynasty is, it will only be limited to the Central Plains and the heights it can reach will be limited.

"I suddenly want to let the Northern Yuan Dynasty go south." Zhu Quan raised the corners of his mouth, his expression full of amusement.

Zhu Gaochi was startled and said, "Seventeenth Uncle, don't act recklessly. Introducing the Northern Yuan into the Ming Dynasty will certainly allow them to be more thoroughly eliminated, but doing so will bring great harm to the people of the Ming Dynasty."

If the war is ignited within the Ming Dynasty, even if the Northern Yuan Dynasty wins, the defeated soldiers will cause huge damage to the Ming Dynasty.

"The prince is right, King Ning, don't be impulsive. The letter said that His Majesty ordered all supplies to be transported to Beiping. This means that His Majesty probably wants us to make Beiping a city wall to stop the Northern Yuan bandits." Yuan Gong said.

Zhu Quan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous. I just said it casually. How could I really do it?"

Zhu Gaochi, Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others looked at Zhu Quan with surprise and doubt in their eyes.

Many of the things that are in my heart are said through jokes.

They all saw Zhu Quan's expression just now, and they knew that he really wanted to let the Northern Yuan thieves go south.

Zhu Quan looked at the crowd, a wry smile on his face, and shrugged, saying, "Okay, I admit, I did have the thought of letting the Northern Yuan thieves go south, but I don't dare to do that under the current circumstances!"

"Don't dare?" Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at Yuan Gong, Qiu Fu and others in confusion.

Zhu Quan said: "This time it's true, I'm not lying to you. Think about it, if I did that, His Majesty would probably chop off my head. I haven't lived long enough."

"So that's how it is!" Everyone suddenly realized.

"Now we have to hide the news as much as possible and wait for His Majesty to go south." Zhu Gaochi said.

"That's right. As long as Your Majesty arrives, the end of the Northern Yuan Dynasty thieves will come." Yuan Gong nodded.

Zhu Quan thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to stop the Northern Yuan, but it would be more troublesome to block the news, especially since we don't know when His Majesty will be able to arrive."

Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly and said, "We can only do our best. If the Northern Yuan Dynasty really knew about the current situation of our Ming Dynasty, there would be nothing we could do."

Zhu Quan shook his head and said, "It would have been better if Fourth Brother hadn't taken the three Doyan guards to Yingtian Prefecture."

If he still had the three Doyan guards under his command, he would at least have some power to fight back against the Northern Yuan invasion. Relying on the resource subsidies from Peking, he might be able to directly repel the Northern Yuan invasion.

"If the Three Doyan Guards were still there, the Northern Yuan Dynasty might not have chosen Liaodong as the main attack direction. Otherwise, they might have instigated the Three Doyan Guards to rebel." Zhu Gaochi said.

Zhu Quan was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and nodded, saying, "That's true!"

The Northern Yuan Dynasty's southward advance was intended to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's misfortune. If the Ming Dynasty had not been in turmoil, they would never have gone south.

Gubeikou!
Aluta frowned.

When he first led his troops south, he was extremely excited.

However, this excitement suddenly disappeared when they entered the land of the Ming Dynasty, and was replaced by waves of uneasiness.

"Damn, what is going on? Why do I feel this way?" Aluta was confused.

Zhu Yuanzhang died and the Ming Dynasty fell into civil strife.

This was simply God helping the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

When he controlled the Central Plains before, he did not cherish it well.

It was not until he was driven to the grassland by the Ming Dynasty that he realized how wonderful the Central Plains was.

Over the years, he has always wanted to lead his army south and reoccupy the Central Plains.

He once secretly told himself in his heart that if the Northern Yuan Dynasty went south again and took control of the Central Plains, he would definitely govern the Central Plains well and keep it under firm control.

Originally, when he saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty, he had already despaired and saw no hope of going south.

The Ming Dynasty was too powerful, and after returning to the grassland, the Northern Yuan Dynasty became fragmented and visibly weakened.

One side is thriving.

The sun sets over the west mountain.

How to fight this?

In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang was ambitious and pursued them relentlessly, not giving them any chance to breathe.

What’s even more hateful is that there are cowards like the Three Guards of Doyan who directly knelt down to the Ming Dynasty.

However, what he didn't expect was.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty suddenly changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang died.

The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, but this new emperor was unable to win the support of the people, and civil strife broke out in the Ming Dynasty.

Such a scene made him ecstatic.

He immediately persuaded Bayanchur and even reached a cooperation with his enemy Mahamu.

"Grand Master, what's wrong?" Ben Ya Shi Li walked over.

He was in a very good mood.

Although he did not agree to send troops against the Ming Dynasty at first, he was very glad at this moment that he finally listened to Aluta's advice.

After setting foot on the Ming territory, they encountered almost no decent resistance and advanced very quickly.

Daming, it seems something really happened!

"Khan, I feel that something is very wrong along the way we have been traveling." Aluta hesitated for a moment and expressed his uneasiness.

"Something's wrong?" Ben Yashili was startled and chuckled, "Grand Master, what's wrong? We're progressing so smoothly, there's nothing wrong. Are you overthinking it?"

Alutai shook his head and said, "It's because we're advancing too fast that I feel something is amiss."

"What's wrong with this? Civil unrest broke out in the Ming Dynasty, and these princes guarding the borders all led their troops to fight for the throne." Ben Ya Shi Li said.

Although he was pushed onto the throne by Aluta, this was also an opportunity he fought for.

There were several people who competed with him for the Khan position, but he won in the end.

It is precisely because of this experience that he is very clear about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.

In the fight for the throne, you don't have to fight for it yourself. You can also support people who have a good relationship with you. As long as the person you support can finally sit on the throne, you will definitely get benefits.

"This..." Alutai was stunned and shook his head. "Although that's what I said, I still feel that the Ming Dynasty's reaction after we entered Liaodong was a little too calm."

Ben Ya Shi Li waved his hand and said, "Alright, Grand Master, we're already here. Don't overthink it now. We'll be in Peking in a few days. If there's anything wrong, you should be able to see it clearly."

Beiping is a very important checkpoint. If the Northern Yuan Dynasty wants to go south to attack the Ming Dynasty, it must take Beiping.

Without taking Peking, the Northern Yuan could not move south with peace of mind. Therefore, if something was really wrong, Peking would definitely feel it.

"Okay!" Aluta nodded.

Ben Ya Shi Li patted Alutai's shoulder and said, "Grand Master, I think you are under too much pressure. Relax a little. In fact, the Ming Dynasty is not that scary!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Alutai raised his head, looked towards Beiping, and said, "Am I really under too much pressure?"

After a moment, he shook his head and took a long breath: "I hope so!"

Xia Mansion!

Half a day had passed since Zhu Yunhuan left.

Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi came to Xia's mansion.

Led by the servants, they came to the study.

"Ding ding ding!" The servant knocked on the door and said, "Master, Master Jie, Master Hu, and Master Yang have arrived."

"Creak!" The study door was opened from the inside.

Xia Yuanji walked out.

"Master!" the servant called out respectfully.

Xia Yuanji waved his hand and said, "You go down first!"

The servant bowed and turned to leave.

Xia Yuanji looked at Xie Jin, Hu Yi, and Yang Shiqi and said, "Please come in, all three!"

Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi nodded and walked into the study one after another.

Xia Yuanji took a deep breath, walked into the study, and closed the door.

"Lord Xia, what's the matter that you called the three of us here?" Xie Jin asked.

Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi looked up at Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Xie Jin and the other two looked at each other and found a place to sit down.

Xia Yuanji calmed himself down and said, "I'm sure you've already guessed it. There are six of us in the cabinet, and today I didn't invite Fang Xiaoru and Yao Guangxiao."

When Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi heard this, their eyes moved.

The four of them were promoted together by Zhu Yunhuan before, so they have a closer relationship.

But is this kind of blatant clique-forming really a good thing?
"Don't get me wrong. I didn't call Fang Xiaoru and Yao Guangxiao not because I wanted to isolate them, but after they came, some things would be difficult for me to say." Xia Yuanji looked at the expressions of Xie Jin and the other two and waved his hands repeatedly.

If this is misunderstood, it will be a big deal.

It is possible that he will lose his position as cabinet minister after holding it for a long time.

Forming cliques is absolutely not allowed in any dynasty.

Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

If Xia Yuanji called the three of them here and really wanted the four of them to join together, then they really had to consider whether to find a reason to get up and leave.

Zhu Yunhuan was not an ordinary heroic ruler, and all three of them knew this very well.

Facing such an emperor, if you try to do something small, you will be seeking death.

The three of them still wanted to follow Zhu Yunhuan to achieve some achievements, but they didn't want to be kicked out so early.

Fortunately, they were overthinking it.

"Lord Xia, if you have anything to say, just say it directly!" Xie Jin waved his hand.

"That's right, there are no outsiders here." Hu Yi also said.

Xia Yuanji took a deep breath and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just thought that we should pay attention to Lord Fang and Lord Yao next, in case anything bad happens. His Majesty handed Yingtian Prefecture over to us before leaving, so we must absolutely not let anything happen to Yingtian Prefecture!"

When Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi heard Xia Yuanji's words, they all felt something in their hearts.

They are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart.

Although Xia Yuanji spoke vaguely, they still understood.

Xia Yuanji was worried that Fang Xiaoru and Yao Guangxiao would take advantage of Zhu Yunhuan's absence to cause trouble.

"Lord Xia, since you have spoken directly about the matter, I will not hide it anymore. I think you are absolutely right. Although Fang Xiaoru and Yao Guangxiao have now defected to His Majesty, people's hearts are hidden. Who knows what they are thinking in their hearts? I have already made up my mind to keep a closer eye on them." Xie Jin said.

Hu Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It seems that we are thinking the same thing."

"Although I believe in Lord Fang and Lord Yao, it is always better to be prepared and pay more attention." Yang Shiqi said.

"You." Xia Yuanji was stunned when he heard what Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi said.

He gathered the three of them together, intending to give them some instructions, but he didn't expect that Xie Jin and the other two had already prepared a plan in mind, and it was the same as his.

"Lord Xia, as you said before, His Majesty has entrusted Yingtian Prefecture to us, and we must guard it well. Otherwise, wouldn't we be unworthy of His Majesty's trust?" Hu Yi said with a smile.

"That's right. In fact, I think we should focus on keeping a close eye on Lord Fang. As Lord Yao said, Prince Yan has now defected to Your Majesty, and the possibility of him causing trouble is very low." Yang Shiqi said.

There was something he didn't say, and he believed that Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin, and Hu Yi all knew it in their hearts, but none of them would say it out loud.

Zhu Yunwen is still alive.

Although Zhu Yunwen disappeared, there was no news of his death.

Fang Mansion!

In the study.

Fang Xiaoru put down the information in his hand, his face full of emotion: "Your Majesty's vision is really amazing!"

He was looking at the recent trade transactions of the Ming Dynasty.

Each piece of data shows that after the trade reform, the Ming Dynasty's economy is taking off at an incredible speed.

When Zhu Yunhuan was carrying out trade reforms, he was very confused. In his opinion, the risks of trade reforms were too great and would shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

More than once, he wanted to go to the palace to persuade Zhu Yunhuan to stop the trade reforms.

But now it is clearly written in black and white that Zhu Yunhuan's reform of commerce was successful, and it is very likely to bring about earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the money brought in by commercial trade can already make up for the money spent on increasing officials' salaries, but commercial trade is still developing at a high speed.

"Exempt the farmers from paying taxes and provide them with monetary rewards." Fang Xiaoru was lost in thought.

Looking at the crazy business data in front of him, he really doubted that one day, Zhu Yunhuan would really exempt the people of the world from taxes and give them money.

"Dang dang dang!" At this time, a knock on the door sounded, which disrupted Fang Xiaoru's thoughts.

A servant's voice came from outside the door: "Master, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He says it is an old friend of yours."
