I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

If you want to impress a man, take the other person's heart and body, if the man is indifferent, then attack the people around him.

When people around this man say that you are good, this man's inner thoughts will be shaken, and he will wonder whether he has neglected your beauty.

The old man, who was munching on roast beef, picked up the towel prepared by the guard next to him, wiped his hands and mouth, and was going to tell these two western barbarians about the strength of Ming Dynasty.

Yin Fan III wanted to make friends with Daming, and the old man also wanted to be in the west, to be more precise, to put a nail on the side of the Golden Horde Han.

A peaceful West is not in the interests of Ming Dynasty, only a war-torn West is what Ming wants.

Daming's current strength is not strong enough to reach out to the west. If he wants to enter the west and take over this land, it will take at least several decades of preparation.

But in the past few decades, the old man didn't want the West to develop peacefully, so he wanted to tie a vicious dog here, muddy the water in the whole West, and let them fight to the death in the chaos of war.

When the two sides are exhausted from the fight, it is the opportunity for Da Ming to reap the benefits.

This guy Yin Fan III, the old man is very pleasing to his eyes, and the hospitality is so good, the old man has the idea of ​​accepting him and making him the spokesperson of Daming in the west. vicious dog.

Seeing that the old housekeeper planned to elaborate, Zhu Zhangui at the side didn't stop him, and the smart Yulina thoughtfully poured wine for the old man to moisten his throat.

After taking a sip of the fruit wine, the old man cleared his cough, looked at Yulina and Yin Fan III who looked expectantly, and said slowly: "Little girl, let me tell you this, the tens of thousands of soldiers in our Daming are just a city garrison. "

Stretching out two fingers, the old man proudly said: "According to last year's statistics, we have a total of 220 million soldiers in the Ming Dynasty!"

"hiss!"

Hearing this number, both Yin Fan III and Yulina were stunned, and Yin Fan III's number one subordinate gasped even more.

God, 220 million, which is more than the people of Ryazan.

"How is it possible in the world, how can there be countries with so many troops in the world. When the Golden Horde was the strongest, it only had 20 troops. Are you stronger than the Golden Horde?"

Surprised by this number, Yulina's first reaction was disbelief, and she habitually used the most powerful Golden Horde in her memory as a metaphor.

After all, in her childhood knowledge, a country with a few million people is already a big country, how could it be possible for a country with millions of troops.

If there are several million troops, how many people should there be in the country?

The old man laughed, and pointed at the surprised Yulina and the others.

"Little girl, do you know that the Golden Horde you speak of is actually just one of the four parts of a powerful country?"

Yulina hesitated for a moment, recalled what she knew about the history of the Golden Horde, and nodded slightly.

"I know this. I heard that they all belong to a country called Yuan, as if they are all Mongolians."

The old man nodded, "That's right, they all belong to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. This country called the Yuan Dynasty used to be a nomadic people in the north. It invaded us when our Central Plains Dynasty was desolate. Later, my father, uh, our ancestors The emperor, who is the father of His Majesty today, led the people who were unwilling to be oppressed to drive out the Mongols and re-establish our country."

"When the Ming Dynasty was first established, our Ming Dynasty had an army of more than 80. Now, after decades of development, our Ming Dynasty is countless times stronger than before."

"Little girl, let me tell you this, it takes at least half a year for my Ming territory to go from south to north, and it's still a galloping horse."

The old man stretched out his hand while several people were stunned, "We are adjacent to the sea in the east, and in the west, we border the territory of the Golden Horde. It will take more than half a year to gallop on horseback."

"Think about how many people we have in such a large territory!"

"How many?"

Yin Fan III, who was already stunned, subconsciously asked.

The old man chuckled and knocked on the empty wine glass beside him. Yin Fan III hurriedly stepped forward to pour the old man the wine, and then looked at him expectantly.

He took a sip of the fine wine happily, and the old man said to several people with a carefree look: "I have more than 5000 million people in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty. Now with the addition of people of different races from various territories, the population of my Ming Dynasty has surpassed 1 million means 1 million people."

"1 billion people!"

Yin Fan III sat down on the chair and looked at the old man with a dull expression.

He couldn't figure out how many 1 million people were in his mind.

If the old man in front of him is really not bragging, and Ming has a population of 1 million, then 220 million troops seems really not that many.

Seeing the stunned, ignorant western barbarian, the old man felt relieved.

It's cool to brag to outsiders, but it doesn't feel like bragging to your own people.

No, I'm not bragging, I'm just telling the truth.

Taking a sip of the wine happily, the old man decided to make up for it again.

"Actually, the 220 million troops are only counting the army. My Ming Dynasty has endless sea areas, and a tyrannical and invincible navy."

"navy?"

Several people were refreshed, and Yin Fan III looked at the old man expectantly.

Those rogue countries in the west all rely on the sea. If Daming had a powerful navy, then after he took refuge in Daming, he wouldn't have to be afraid of those rogues.

The old man nodded slightly, picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "My Ming Dynasty has nearly a thousand warships of various types and 15 naval soldiers."

"Although the 15 people are much smaller than the army, they are all good sailors. Once there is a war with a certain ocean country in the future, my Ming Dynasty will quickly manufacture various warships, and they can also ship at any time. Serve as any ship."

"Let me tell you this, as long as our Ming court is willing, we can form a huge navy with thousands of warships and hundreds of thousands of people at any time."

"Gu Dong!"

Several people swallowed hard.

Dear mother, there are thousands of warships, which are more than the army of their country.

If they had a bad relationship with Daming, there was no need to fight. The army on the opposite side would come directly, and each of them could drown them with a single spit.

After showing off fiercely to these barbarians, the old man stretched out his hand and patted Yin Fan III on the shoulder.

"Young man, you are quite a nice person. If possible, you can go back to Daming with us. At the end of this year, our old emperor will pass the throne to the crown prince, and a grand military parade and celebration ceremony will be held then."

"As far as I know, there are millions of troops and 5 navies participating. This is a grand ceremony that is rarely seen in a thousand years. If you miss this opportunity, you won't know when the next time you can see it."

After sending out the invitation with a smile, the old man gave Zhu Zhangui next to him a wink, and accompanied by the guards, he went to the resting place to rest.

"His Royal Highness, what Mr. Butler said is true."

It was a long time after the old man left that Yin Fan III gradually came to his senses.

Swallowing hard, he looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly, hoping that what the old butler said just now was true, not that the other party was bragging.

Zhu Zhangui shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Actually, what he said is not accurate."

Yin Fan III heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little disappointed.

It seems that the old man is bragging, alas, if only Daming is so powerful.

Before Yin Fan III could sigh in his heart, what Zhu Zhangui said next made him froze in place.

"At the beginning of this year, our country changed the conscription system. At the beginning of February this year, our country added 2 troops, which means that my Ming Dynasty now has an army of 60 million."

"thump!"

Yin Fan III sat down on the ground, looking at the cheerful Zhu Zhangui with a resentful expression.

The lively banquet didn't end until midnight, and the lively town fell into silence.

In the master bedroom of the castle, Zhu Zhangui looked at the bright moon in the east with his hands behind his back, thinking about going back.

Originally, according to their plan, they would go to the Principality of Moscow, but according to their inquiries, they found that the Principality of Moscow seems to have a very good relationship with the Golden Horde.

The old man, who always hated the prairie barbarians, immediately canceled his plan to go to the Principality of Moscow after hearing the news.

Although the Principality of Ryazan is small, its lord is really good, and he is a dog leg worth cultivating.

The old man thought that this one would be enough, and he would consider changing it later if he was not able to live up to expectations.

This world lacks everything, except for small countries that want to be the dogs of big countries.

"Winter Dongdong..."

There was a knock on the closed door, and a guard battalion soldier walked in.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Looking back and seeing the strange expression of the soldier, Zhu Zhangui asked suspiciously.

"The king's sister came and said she couldn't sleep at night and wanted to chat with you."

The corner of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched.

He really wanted to know if this girl named Yulina wanted to talk to him seriously?

In the morning of the second day, Zhu Zhangui looked at the beautiful blood plum blossoms on the bed sheet illuminated by the sun, and fell into deep thought.

Zhu Zhangui and his party stayed in Liangzanguo for five days, and finally returned to Daming with the new concubine Yulina allowed by the old man, and his new uncle, Yin Fan III and others.

After these five days of in-depth exchanges, and through Yulina's matchmaking, Yin Fan III is willing to bring the Principality of Liangzan under the name of Ming Dynasty and become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty in the west.

In order to ensure the safety of the country during Yin Fan III's departure from the Warring States of Liang, the old man waved his hand and gave Yin Fan III all the 2000 flintlock guns that were originally intended to be spared by the Shenji Camp as betrothal gifts.

Seeing that his younger sister brought him such a big return gift just after entering the school, Yin Fan III was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Even when the old man promised that he would give him a hundred powerful siege cannons when he returned from Daming, Yin Fan III was so happy that he almost smoked them.

After briefly training the army of the Principality of Ryazan, teaching them how to use flintlock guns and line infantry formations, the troops of the Ming Dynasty crossed the territory of the Golden Horn Han Kingdom in a mighty manner, and returned to Daming .

Golden Horde: Is there any end?In the past few days, I have been in and out several times. Even if I go out to sell, I still have time to rest, okay?

The army went to the battlefield where the Sarai border was fought. The old man did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he set up camp at the same spot and ordered his men to build a huge stone monument here.

This stele is 5 meters high and [-] meters wide, with a sentence written on it in Ming and Mongolian characters.

"Daming territory, trespassers will exterminate the clan!"

That's right, the old man arbitrarily set the boundary marker directly from here, and assigned all the land in Beiju Luzhou and Mongolian grassland to the east under the name of Daming.

Looking at the red blood writing on the stele, Yin Fan III's eyes showed deep envy.

What a tyrannical country this must be to say such difficult words. When will Liang Zan be able to develop into the Ming Dynasty, without fear of any enemies, and dare to say no to any country.

The first snowfall in Beiping this year came later, and it only started to snow heavily in mid-November.

Zhu Pangpang, who had been busy all day in the Shang study, hummed a little song, and returned to the East Palace with his eldest grandson who had been busy in the Shang study all day.

After drinking the medicinal wine brought back by Zhu Zhangui, Zhu Pangpang's body is many times better than before.

In the past, if you have been busy for a day, you will always look tired when you go back.

But since he drank the medicinal wine, Zhu Pangpang felt that he had endless energy. No, after several months of hard work, Mrs. Zhang became pregnant again.

That is to say, Zhu Zhangui is not at home. If he knows that his mother has a child again, his expression will be complicated.

Back in the East Palace, Zhu Pangpang found that it was deserted inside, and his wife and several children at home were not there.

"Why is this bitch running around while she's pregnant!"

Zhu Pangpang shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to take his eldest grandson to study in the study, there was a sound of footsteps at the door behind him.

Zhu Pangpang's grandfather and grandson looked back, and saw Zhao Ling'er with a big belly, supporting Zhang Shi, who also had a big belly, and leading a group of people in.

"You said you are true, you have a big belly, why run around in the snow? What if you fall down."

Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Qirui hurried up to greet each other, each of them supported the other, but they still babbled and refused to listen.

"What can I do? It's almost the end of the year. I'm going to the tower to see if your son is back."

"You brat, don't hurt your mother!"

Mrs. Zhang gave her husband a blank look, then turned her head to remind Zhu Qirui, who was lying on his mother's stomach and listening to his younger brother.

Zhu Pangpang shook his head amusedly.

My daughter-in-law is not waiting for her son, she is obviously looking forward to the old man's return soon.

As the time for the abdication that the old man said is gradually approaching, the court center that moved to Beiping has already begun to prepare for the abdication of the old emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor.

But it seems that it will be December now, and the old man who came out to sneak out has not come back yet.

This made the entire court uncomfortable.

What should I do?

The old man didn't come back, whether he will abdicate or not, and whether the crown prince will be enthroned or not.

"You, it's better not to think about it. Dad is not a person who doesn't count his words. He said he will come back at the end of the year, and he will definitely come back. You go to the tower one day. If the old man finds out, he should think about it again. gone."

Swinging away the palace servants around him, Zhu Pangpang was afraid that his wife would hurt her body because of thinking about his own affairs, so he quickly comforted him in a low voice.

"Your father keeps his word, so you have to believe it yourself."

Walking into the house, Mrs. Zhang took the ginseng tea handed over by her daughter-in-law Ji Yun, took a small sip, and gave her husband an angry look.

Throwing the finished tea bowl on the table, Mrs. Zhang complained in a low voice while helping the elder grandson clean up the snowflakes on his head: "If he keeps his word, the second child won't be so miserable."
