My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 12 Li Han's Wish

After returning home, Li Han began to reply to the letters.

But this time, what identity should I use to reply?
After much thought, since Zhu Yuanzhang believed in his mind that Li Han was a fairy, it saved Li Han the trouble of explaining himself, so he might as well just leave it as it is.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang already calls himself Lao Zhu, let's just take advantage of the situation.

So he wrote:

"Old Zhu, I am very happy to receive your reply.

The blue and white vase is very exquisite and I am very happy with it. It would be a wonderful thing to put it at home and appreciate it in my spare time.

However, you don’t have to call me the Immortal. We don’t have so many etiquettes here. Just call me Lao Li as usual.”

Zhu Yuanzhang called himself a fairy, but he shouldn’t really think he was one, and Li Han was not the kind of person who liked to play tricks.

Li Han found it interesting to think that he and Zhu Yuanzhang called each other "Old Li" and "Old Zhu".

Hehe, I am also a close friend of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

As for that "Old Zhu" who is far away in Europe, hehe, your ancestors and I are brothers, so shouldn't you call me your ancestor grandpa?
After the greetings, the first person Li Han thought of was Li Jinglong.

Who made this guy's outrageous actions so popular?

Li Han had no ill feelings towards Li Jinglong. This man was talented, well-versed in military books, handsome and eloquent. Otherwise, he would not have won the hearts of three emperors, Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle.

Asking him to lead troops to fight was just a wrong place to put him.

Perhaps in the Ming Dynasty, it would be better for Li Jinglong to just be a mascot of the Ming Dynasty.

After writing down his views on Li Jinglong, Li Han thought of Yao Guangxiao again.

If Zhu Di was able to become emperor, Li Jinglong and Zhu Yunwen's incompetence each accounted for 30%, and Yao Guangxiao alone accounted for 40%.

Li Jinglong's 30% are passive skills, while Yao Guangxiao's are active skills.

After Empress Ma passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang selected eminent monks for each king to chant sutras and pray for Empress Ma, and Yao Guangxiao was selected and assigned to Zhu Di.

A monk who dared to give Zhu Di a "white hat" when they met for the first time, can only be said that this person was born for rebellion.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he honored Yao Guangxiao as the national teacher. Logically speaking, at this time he had become a powerful official, second only to the emperor.

But this black-robed prime minister still lived in seclusion and had no interest in power and money. He only occasionally gave Zhu Di some advice.

No one knows why he instigated Zhu Di to rebel.

Perhaps Yao Guangxiao wanted to realize his ideal of a world in peace, or perhaps he rebelled purely out of personal bad taste, just for the sake of rebelling.

Li Han didn't understand Yao Guangxiao's psychology, but it didn't matter anymore. After Empress Ma recovered, Yao Guangxiao would most likely never see Zhu Di again in his life, nor would he be able to give him the white hat.

It is more likely that in order to eliminate hidden dangers, Zhu Yuanzhang would directly imprison him and execute him secretly.

After writing about Yao Guangxiao, I naturally have to write about Lou Ying.

Li Han still has great respect for this famous doctor who has been pursuing medical skills throughout his life.

Just let Lou Ying research antibiotics for now?

I'm afraid that this would make Doctor Lou very depressed, and the "Medical Compendium" would probably not be published, and Li Shizhen would not be able to write the "Compendium of Materia Medica", so Li Han would be guilty of a great sin.

It is better to let nature take its course. Perhaps, I should find some suitable medical books for Lou Ying, which will promote the advancement of Ming Dynasty medicine.

Well, the book "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" is pretty good.

It just so happens that I have several of these books at home, and I will mail them to you later. After writing about the three people Zhu Yuanzhang asked about, it is time to get to the point.

That is, the future development and evolution of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Han began to think seriously about Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts.

The letter he wrote to his pen pal, by some strange coincidence, traveled through time and space and was seen by Zhu Yuanzhang.

From then on, the history of the Ming Dynasty began to change. Li Han knew that each of his next letters would have a profound impact on the future direction of the Ming Dynasty.

In any case, Li Han did not want to see the Ming Dynasty lose the opportunity to open up new shipping routes because of the maritime ban.

I don’t want to see the emergence of the “Knocking Emperor”, “Alchemy Emperor” and “Carpenter Emperor”.

I don’t want to see Chongzhen shouting in despair, “I am not a king who will lose my country, but I, your ministers, will lose my country!”
What I don’t want to see even more is that the Qingliu people in the late Ming Dynasty, on the one hand, shouted the slogan “Swear to live and die with the Ming Dynasty”, but on the other hand, used the clumsy excuses of “itchy scalp” and “the water is too cold” to cover up their shameful cowardice and kowtow to the Qing Dynasty!

This mailbox is the only chance to change all this!

Li Han turned the pen in his hand into a weapon and pointed his spearhead at the Oirat Mongols and the Battle of Tumu!

Not to mention the Battle of Tumu, which caused the destiny of the Ming Dynasty to take a sharp turn.

Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years, during which most of the time the precious national strength was consumed by the Oirat Mongols who unified the various Mongolian tribes!
The worst thing is that the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, the Jianzhou Jurchens, rose to power through the Battle of Tumu!

After the Battle of Tumu, Zhu Qizhen was restored to the throne. In order to allow the Jurchens to contain the Oirat, he opened up trading ports with the outside world, allowing a large number of advanced production tools and weapons from inside the country to flow outside the country.

The Jianzhou Jurchens took advantage of this opportunity to rise directly and also sounded the death knell for the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Yuanzhang could control Liaodong and even the entire Northeast, he would not only be able to eliminate the threat of the Jurchens in the cradle.

It can also further control Goryeo and obtain a large amount of black soil in Northeast China!

Then why not just take off!
However, if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make up his mind to launch an expedition to Liaodong, he had to take it step by step.

Li Han thought for a moment and continued writing on the letter paper.

"After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he would certainly reduce the power of the princes. After all, he did not gain the throne legitimately. If he could rebel, so could other princes.

However, Zhu Di's approach was much smarter than Zhu Yunwen's. His approach was to use both kindness and force..."

"Speaking of Zhu Di's reign as emperor, generally speaking, there are six things worth praising: rewarding farming, encouraging industry and commerce, the Yongle Canon, moving the capital to Beiping, the five expeditions to the northern desert, and the seven voyages to the West..."

"After Zhu Di's death, Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne. Zhu Gaochi implemented benevolent policies and was a wise ruler..."

"After Zhu Gaochi, his eldest son Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne. Zhu Zhanji inherited his father's will and performed well as the emperor.

However, Zhu Zhanji had a problem that was fatal to the Ming Dynasty: he died too early. "

"So far, the second generation of Ming Dynasty's God of War, Emperor Zhu Qizhen, has made a brilliant appearance..."

……

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the Buddhist temple. After reciting the Buddhist scriptures, he was about to leave when he saw the long-awaited blue light shining again.

After the blue light, a package appeared on the Buddhist table.

It seems that my sincere recitation of the scriptures was heard by the immortal.

Zhu Yuanzhang became excited again and couldn't wait to open the package. When he saw the new medicine, he felt relieved.

Xu Da is saved!
