I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 281

One donkey, one man, one sword.

The person who came from afar was wearing a green shirt, a huge bamboo hat, and a straw coir raincoat...

No matter how you look at it, you should be a tall man.

"People who are tall and tall usually look like this," Zhu Youjian stood on the carriage, and said with a rather smug smile: "My master's other aspects of kung fu are also top-notch, but compared to this kind of person Shu, Ming Dynasty, I call it number two, no one dares to say that he is No.1, do you believe it or not?"

Miss Hongliu didn't say a word.

At this time, she would either follow up with a few words of flattery, or simply ignore it, otherwise, Zhu Youjian would be even more complacent.

This idiot, who doesn't know what's going on in his head, can actually invent the latest firearms, water pumps, telegraphs, and steam engines.

Moreover, it seems to know a lot of new gadgets that everyone has never heard of, which is simply outrageous...

"Hongliu, do you dare to bet with me that this worldly expert walking across from him is named Mao?" Zhu Youjian smiled, and glanced up and down at the plump waist of Miss Hongliu, "How about a day and a night?" ?”

Although Miss Hongliu has long been used to the hooligans and rascals who make up for the emperor, she still feels a little bit angry when she speaks such nasty things in front of others.

"Hmph, if your guess is inaccurate, then you are not allowed for three days... Anyway, you are not allowed!"

Zhu Youjian laughed.

The carriage continued to move forward, and soon met the man and donkey on the opposite side.

Just when the carriage passed by the donkey alone, Zhu Youjian suddenly reprimanded: "You, old boy, why don't you get off the donkey and visit me!"

The man on the donkey's back reined in the donkey's head, took off his bamboo hat a little depressed, and revealed a pale middle-aged man's face, saying: "It's hard for me to pretend to be an expert once, and I want to go to the capital to bluff, but I met him on the way." You... are gone."

The person who came was actually Mao Yuanyi!
Zhu Youjian had long been laughing proudly, only Miss Hongliu looked bewildered, and murmured: "So, what does the Great Ming God of War look like? He looks quite romantic."

Mao Yuanyi bowed to salute, and after meeting Zhu Youjian, he turned his head and smiled at Miss Hongliu, "Msg Hongliu, I am so polite."

Miss Hongliu flushed with embarrassment, and laughed and cursed: "What kind of lady, you are not a servant girl, but you, the Great God of War, are no longer messing around in the northwest, why did you quietly run to the capital's land alone? ?”

Mao Yuanyi sighed, and said: "It's not because His Majesty wrote a letter asking me to solve the mess in front of me."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said nothing, just moved things out of the carriage, including wine and meat, and the most wonderful thing was that there was a barbecued donkey.

The affairs of governing the country and the state are left to Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi and other ministers of civil and military affairs. Although the party struggle is fierce, they stab each other in the back and kill several high-ranking officials, but the affairs in the court are just like this. ?

As for the matter of marching and fighting, he didn't understand even more.

Although, he proposed to Mao Yuanyi the sixteen-character formula of "mountain guerrilla warfare", and by means of systematic cheating, he forcibly advanced the scientific research level of Daming Academy for 200 years, and produced the world's first-class new firearms...

However, this is completely different from leading troops to fight in person.

He still has this self-knowledge.

"Zhisheng, Hongliu, let's roll the skewers first!"

After setting up the grill and ordering the guards in plain clothes to bring over some delicacies from mountains and seas, the idiot emperor suddenly became energetic, "Do you ever know what is the best thing in the world?"

"Shooting skewers." Mao Yuanyi and Miss Hongliu said in unison, with a look of helplessness on their faces.

"Wrong, you guessed wrong this time." Zhu Youjian said with a chuckle: "The best thing is to meet someone who can catch your eye outside the capital, and have sex!"

Mao Yuanyi: "..."

Red Willow Girl: "..."

The two were speechless for a while, but their hearts were filled with warmth.

After getting along with the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian for a long time, at the beginning, they thought that this guy was just a dandy bully, the biggest scourge in the capital, and a little clever idiot emperor.

Moreover, when it comes to killing people, they don't even blink their eyes.

There were a total of 80 people from the royal family and relatives, and they were all sent to the northwest frontier to guard the frontier because of a trivial incident.

There are also "Eight Great Men of Shanxi Merchants", "Ten Great Families in the South of the Yangtze River", "The Remnants of the Eunuch Party", "The Harm of the Qing Dynasty"... If you say beheading, behead it.

Then, after major events such as Kuwu Island, Taiwan Pengbao Island, and relief of victims, it was discovered that the idiot emperor's vision was actually quite poisonous. At least, he was much wiser and far-sighted than Jiannu's Mang Gurtai.

At this moment, it is another feeling.

The idiot emperor is alone.

A person who values ​​love and righteousness...

……

"For the strategy of Liaodong, the best way for the imperial court is to press one end and raise another. In this way, neither Mao Wenlong nor Cao Wenzhao dare to speak up, and they will honestly go to attack the city and seize the land."

After swallowing a few pieces of fat venison and drinking a few sips of fine wine, the image of a master on Mao Yuanyi's face finally disappeared.

Instead, there was an old fox holding a small wooden stick in his hand, drawing a map on the ground, and pointing at it: "Your Majesty, please see, the location of Dongjiang Town is especially important now. Ruo Wu If Xiang and Zu Dashou want to show their merits in front of the new master, they will definitely find a way to weather, attack Dongjiang Town, and drive Mao Wenlong to the Koryo Peninsula completely.

According to their thinking, Mao Wenlong is now strong enough to sweep the entire Koryo Peninsula. Even if he wants to be a king of Koryo, he probably has no problem.

But the problem is that His Majesty had the foresight to mention blocking Mao Wenlong's retreat. "

Mao Yuanyi made a detailed analysis and praised Zhu Youjian for building more than a dozen cement and concrete cities in the vicinity of Seoul on a whim.

Zhu Youjian looked confused, and said with a dry smile: "Did you also see my move at the beginning?"

Mao Yuanyi nodded in agreement.

Zhu Youjian coughed lightly and didn't say anything more.

In fact, at that time, building more than a dozen cities on the Hancheng line of the Koryo Peninsula was completely unintentional, purely because he didn't want the king of Koryo, surnamed Li, to have a good life.

He is not a gentleman, he will take revenge if he has a grudge.

At the beginning, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town was almost destroyed under the joint attack of Jiannu Iron Cavalry and Gaoli Water Army?
So, relying on the strength of the gun in his hand, he simply beat him up first before talking...

However, it seems that all of this can only be swallowed now, and I must not admit that I did it completely unintentionally at the beginning, but foresight, which is a move in advance for the crisis in Liaodong today.

"Well, I was still a little anxious at the time. In fact, the layout could be more meticulous..." Zhu Youjian said modestly.

"It's like this," Mao Yuanyi didn't know what was going on in the emperor's mind, she buried her head in deep thought, and continued to analyze, "Your Majesty, please take a look, this is the situation in Korea, Dongjiang Town, Liaoxi Corridor, Shengjing and Kuwu Island picture;

If Weichen had been present at that time, the layout would have been better.

At least, on the front line of Dongjiang Town, we should rush to repair three fortified cities, cooperate with Zheng Zhilong's armored battleship, and directly compress the scope of Jiannu's activities in the Shengjing area.

In this way, the battle will be easier to fight. "

Zhu Youjian nodded fiercely, and said: "Well, it's not too late, just as you said, build the city wherever you want, even if you want me to sell the Forbidden City, it must be like this!"

Mao Yuanyi, Miss Hongliu: "..."

Well, I finally heard the phrase "sell the Forbidden City" again.

The two of them knew in their hearts that once the idiot emperor uttered these words, he was determined to do a "big thing"...

……

"It's not necessary now," Mao Yuanyi said bluntly: "Your Majesty wants to build a city, but I have a good place, but it will cost a lot of money and food."

"Really? Tell me quickly, where is the city built?"

Hearing that it can cost a lot of money and food, Zhu Youjian suddenly regained his spirits, poured Mao Yuanyi a bowl of wine with his own hands, and said with a smile: "I have no other specialties, the only thing I can do well are two things.

The first thing is that riding and archery skills are very good, even Tsarist Russian women, I can easily subdue and suppress them, leaving them breathless!
The second thing is to make money.

Hehe, the two of you may not know that when I first came to the throne, the treasury was as empty as if it had been stolen by a thief, but the disaster victims in Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Shanxi were everywhere, and they continued to send a lot of money and food to disaster relief.

Do you know how much food I raised that time? "

Mao Yuanyi and Miss Hongliu shook their heads.

That time to help the victims, the imperial court really showed unprecedented courage and worked together to save millions of Li people from starving to death, so that the idiot emperor won a lot of popular support.

"Don't talk about money and food figures, anyway, as long as you know in your heart, in this world of the Ming Dynasty, the person who can make and spend the most money is me!"

Zhu Youjian said proudly.

"Let's talk about it now, where do you want to build the city?" After bragging, he asked again.

Mao Yuanyi pondered for a few moments before laughing: "Your Majesty is really willing to spend money to build a useless city?"

Zhu Youjian nodded fiercely, and said, "Yes, I just want to spend a lot of money to do something useless."

Mao Yuanyi suddenly laughed.Shaking his head, he said, "It's still not right. If Your Majesty really listens to my advice and builds a huge city that is useless, those civil servants will probably dig out all the eighteen generations of my Lao Mao's ancestors... "

Zhu Youjian was a little anxious, grabbed Mao Yuanyi's collar with his hands, and said fiercely: "Well, you old boy, you don't deserve a beating, do you? Why don't you tell me the truth!"

Mao Yuanyi smiled bitterly, and then said slowly: "Actually, I want to build a big city along the coast of Songhu, which is enough to solve the black widow pirate forces in the southwestern coast.

At the same time, it can also solve the affairs of some wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River..."

As Mao Yuanyi spoke, his voice sank. It seemed that his thoughts were outrageous. He was clearly discussing the Liaodong battlefield. Why did he suddenly want to build a big city in the Songhu area?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youjian slapped his thigh fiercely, laughed loudly, and said, "This matter, I, graciously approve it!"

Mao Yuanyi looked confused, and looked at the idiot emperor with some confusion.

"Even if you don't advise me, I actually want to build a super giant city.

Moreover, to tell you the truth, I not only want to build a super city in the Songhu area, but also in Tianjinwei, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the Laohekou area of ​​Heilongjiang.

And among them, the largest city, I will build here! "

The idiot emperor stretched out a finger, tapped lightly on a large undrawn open space in the northwest of the map drawn by Mao Yuanyi, and said with a chuckle, "How about here, old boy?"

Mao Yuanyi squatted on the ground, lost in thought.

He could think of building a huge city along the coast, and so could the idiot emperor.

It is definitely a poisonous plan to completely contain those so-called wealthy families, as well as a large number of super big cities in Liaodong, Liaoxi, and the southwestern border.

However, Yixi in the northwest...

Mao Yuanyi had never been to that place, and he only knew a thing or two from some classics such as "Da Tang Western Regions".

The idiot emperor's title of "prodigal son" is indeed well-deserved!

"Your Majesty, build a strong city on the line of Jincheng Pass and Suzhou Wei, and I can understand the key points, but...is it a bit...too much to build a big city in that barren land?"

Mao Yuanyi said hesitantly.

"Not too much, not too much at all," Zhu Youjian was finally able to act coercive once, feeling very comfortable, and laughed loudly: "Don't underestimate the desert, Gobi and grassland.

You know, that place can resist Tsarist Russia in the north, and can enter Central Asia and West Asia in the west, not to mention being able to deter Yarkand, Erut, Turpan and the like to the greatest extent.

Think about it, after the railway is repaired over there, another oil pipeline will be built to go directly to the capital, Songhu, and Tianjin Wei, tsk tsk, you just want it! "

Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, beamed with joy when he said that, completely ignoring the blank eyes of Mao Yuanyi and Miss Hongliu.

"Mao Yuanyi, Mao Zhisheng, this prodigal...cough cough, when it comes to governing the country, you must have a comprehensive view of the overall situation, you must be able to dare to think and act, dare to be the first in the world, and you can't be shy and timid. .”

Mao Yuanyi said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Youjian looked smug, and then showed off: "Do you know what I sent Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing to Qingyang Mansion for?"

Mao Yuanyi said angrily, "Please trouble me."

The words were out of my mouth, I felt that I couldn't say that, so I quickly added: "Your Majesty asked them to dig oil, open coal mines, and smelt steel. As a result, those two people wandered around all day. Dig a hole.

How long has it been, but not a single drop of oil has been dug out..."

Zhu Youjian laughed, not caring about it.

If the oil is so easy to mine, can it be Zhu Youjian's turn?Everything has to go through a process, if it can’t be dug out today, maybe early tomorrow morning, a good blowout well will be dug out!

"Let's not talk about those two, let's talk about how to solve the Liaodong problem." After joking for a while, and the strings were coming to an end, Zhu Youjian said seriously: "To be honest, if we don't wipe out Jiannu and Liaoxi generals this time, I'm a little bit dissatisfied."

Speaking of the war, Mao Yuanyi suddenly changed his momentum, shook his clothes, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I can wipe it out with a wave of my hand."
