Chapter 28: A Rooster Turns into a Begonia(1/2)
As expected, things did not go as Suning expected. In the fight that took place in Goryeo, Xu Shouhui was beaten to death by Ni Wenjun on the spot. In the end, it was Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian who benefited from the fight. Next, Chen Youliang thought Xu Shouhui was avenged.
As an excuse, he also beat Ni Wenjun to death.
Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian had just beaten Ni Wenjun to death. Before they could enjoy the fruits of victory, Hu Dahai's 50,000 Ming army had already appeared in front of them.
Upon hearing the Ming Dynasty appointment brought by Hu Dahai, Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian reluctantly accepted the order to thank them, no matter how much they were reluctant in their hearts, and also showed a grateful expression.
Li Chenggui was a surrendered general recruited by Chen Youliang from Goryeo. Because he fought bravely and had great status and connections in Goryeo, he was also reused by Chen Youliang.
Seeing that Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian both looked unwilling, Li Chenggui suddenly made a sinister suggestion, "Your Majesty, why not just kill Hu Dahai and eat these 50,000 Ming troops in one bite.
Then we gathered all the national strength of Goryeo and attacked the Liaodong region together. Now that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty has just surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, this must be the time when they are most panicked."
"Hmph, Li Chenggui, you probably don't know Hu Dahai's bravery, right?
Even Zhang Dingbian found it difficult to capture Hu Dahai and escape unscathed."
"Ah? So powerful?"
"Humph! There are so many powerful generals in the Ming Dynasty. Maybe Emperor Hong Zhao wants us to do this, so that he can deal with us directly."
"this......"
"Li Chenggui, I know the little Jiujiu in your heart very clearly.
However, I would like to advise you now that you’d better give up your unrealistic fantasies and serve me honestly.”
"Yes! Your Majesty!
You must perform your humble duties faithfully!"
"Haha, from now on, I will call myself my official.
The Provincial Advocate General of Goryeo Province?
In fact, this official position is quite good!" Chen Youliang suddenly showed a wry smile.
"Brother, I don't want to go to Yingtian Mansion. How about I apply to Emperor Hong Zhao to stay?"
"Go! Only when you return to the interior of Ming Dynasty will you have a broader future!
You should stop thinking wildly and just serve Emperor Hong Zhao and Ming Dynasty with peace of mind. I feel that he will not treat our brothers badly."
"this......"
Chen Youliang was a real "dragon", but he knew that he would never have a chance again. Emperor Hong Zhao developed so fast that before they, the thoughtful people, could react, Emperor Hong Zhao had already solved everything.
No matter how unwilling Chen Youliang felt at this time, he still had to face the gap in strength between the two sides. No matter how much "fire" he had in his heart, it would be extinguished by Emperor Hong Zhao's casual "dragon urine".
At this time, Li Chenggui, who was working hard on the side, was unwilling to accept the reality. He was unwilling to continue wasting time in Goryeo. He wanted to look for other opportunities. Looking around Goryeo, only Japan had this possibility.
...
Queen Liu ran to Emperor Hong Zhao with a dozen beautiful beauties, and then told her arrangement with great joy.
"Suning, are these women pretty?"
"What? What are you going to do?" Suning was confused by his wife.
"Suning, they are all the top beauties I selected from Tuohuan Tiemu'er's harem, don't you like them?"
"Uh? Aren't you busy compiling medical books recently?
Where do you find the time to do all this?"
"Haha, I am only in overall management and responsible for the logistics of the world's famous doctors. I am not needed for specific matters.
How's it going? Do you like it?"
"Ahem! You all go down!" Hong Zhaodi Suning looked at his wife speechlessly, and then ordered the beauties.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After all the women had left, Suning looked at Mrs. Liu with a wry smile, "Have you heard that Zhu Di's life experience has been rumored to be the son of Emperor Yuan Shun in history?"
"Ah? Is there such a thing?"
"Yes! There is a rumor in later generations that Ma is not Zhu Di's biological mother. Zhu Di's biological mother is a Korean woman, and she was also a maid or concubine of Emperor Yuan Shun.
Coupled with the various preferential treatment Zhu Di later gave to Goryeo, this is even more "support" for this bizarre rumor."
"Ah? It seems that I did bad things out of good intentions!
Sorry! Suning!"
"Haha, it's okay!"
"Suning, what should we do with these women in Emperor Yuan Shun's harem?"
"Give a meritorious soldier a wife!"
"This...is good!"
"Suning, I heard that you are planning to send Mao Gui to garrison the capital of the former Yuan Dynasty?"
"Well! The current Ming Dynasty's territory is the most ideal "begonia leaf" terrain, so the garrison must reach forward."
"Haha, I can't believe we turned "rooster" into "begonia leaf"!"
"Haha, this is just the beginning.
I want to try to navigate the world. India can be said to have no difficulty. The southeastern peninsula may encounter some troubles. The resistance in Europe and the Middle East may be the most violent, so I hope that strongman Zhu Chongba can go to Europe." Suning smiled.
He and his wife Liu were analyzing.
"It would be most suitable to have Zhu Chongba in Europe, but the Middle East is full of deserts. Isn't it necessary to fight for it now?" Mrs. Liu also nodded in agreement with her man's analysis and arrangement.
"Haha, at least we should take over the "Middle Eastern Husky"!
That's a real traffic artery."
""Middle Eastern Husky"?"
“Haha, it’s the Ottomans now and Türkiye in the future.
And Persia is also a good place.”
Now is the best opportunity for the Chinese nation to rise. If you want to dominate the world, it is only possible now. By the late Ming Dynasty, it will be too late.
The current Ming Dynasty is an emerging country. Although the change of dynasty does not consume much national power, the Ming Dynasty still has to calm down to recuperate and, more importantly, train its troops.
Because Suning has been trying to solve problems peacefully, it rarely massacres Mongolian and Yuan soldiers. There are a large number of surrendered soldiers and generals in the Ming army. At this stage, conflicts and problems are not outstanding, but as time goes by, their respective conflicts and
The conflict will definitely intensify, and one day it will explode.
If we want to completely solve this problem, we must follow the original training methods of the Red Flag Army and strengthen knowledge and ideological education. Only with such subtle guidance can everyone truly integrate into the Chinese nation of the Ming Dynasty.
Suning also knew that he was too idealistic and would definitely have various problems in the future, but the opportunity was right in front of him. If he didn't give it a try, he would really regret it for the rest of his life.
...
Suning, who was reviewing memorials from various places in the imperial study, suddenly saw Li Shanchang running in with an anxious look on his face, "Your Majesty, we are in trouble now."
"What's wrong? Shan Chang!"
"Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate recently seized a batch of illegal liquor in Yingtian Mansion, and it was finally found that it was Hu Sanshe."
"Hu Sanshe? Hu Dahai's eldest son?"
"Yes! It's this little bastard!"
Because Suning knew that it was better to block than to open up, when the country was short of food at the beginning of the founding of the country, it did not ban wine making across the board. It only encouraged people and merchants to make fruit wine, while grain wine was only allowed to be run by government officials. Unexpectedly, some people still took the risk
of brewing moonshine.
The reason why Li Shanchang and others thought it was troublesome was because Hu Dahai was currently guarding Goryeo, and his son had made such a serious mistake. If Hu Sanshe was punished, Hu Dahai would probably be dissatisfied.
"Well! Shanchang, are you worried that Hu Dahai will have objections?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
"Haha, Shanchang, you are worrying too much!
It is the only principle in the world that those who make mistakes must be punished, and Hu Dahai will definitely not be a confused person."
"Then...how will Your Majesty deal with Hu Sanshe?"
"Well! Just implement the punishment as usual!
Hu Sanshe was demoted to slavery. Since he likes brewing, we will satisfy his wish and let him be responsible for brewing for the rest of his life."
"Eh? Yes! Your Majesty!"
The Ming Dynasty has abolished the death penalty, and beheading is absolutely impossible. If Hu Sanshe is not punished, the new law of the Ming Dynasty will be severely damaged, so Suning still gave Hu Sanshe a chance to live.
There will definitely be more bad things happening in the future. Suning also knows that criminal behavior cannot be absolutely prohibited, so only by ensuring that those who make mistakes must be held accountable and those who are guilty must be punished can we achieve political harmony and people-friendly behavior.
Hu Dahai, who was far away in Goryeo, learned about his eldest son's crime. He immediately issued a memorial. Then Suning told Hu Dahai how to deal with it, and then he comforted and comforted him with kind words.
Due to Suning's series of tricks, the Ministry of Industry quickly gathered a group of knowledgeable slave criminals. Coupled with Suning's reward mechanism for craftsmen, these skilled craftsmen soon agreed to publish their family heirlooms.
Craftsmanship, and then compiled by knowledgeable scholars, soon formed a truly complete set of skill inheritance.
The craftsmen recruited from all over the country did not disappoint Suning. They produced the first steam engine in the first year of Hong Zhao, and then continued to improve it. Finally, in the second year of Hong Zhao, the steam engine reached maturity and could enter the practical stage.
The personnel of the Shipbuilding Department of the Ministry of Industry immediately designed steam-powered ships, and then the Ministry of Industry also developed a steam train under the inspiration of Emperor Hong Zhao Suning, which finally put Ming Dynasty's technology on track.
Because Suning has always encouraged business activities, there are now many handicraft workshops in the Jiangnan area of the Ming Dynasty, which were not strangled by feudal socialism like in history. At the same time, these workshops also became the first users of steam engines.
Seeing the Ming Dynasty's national power slowly growing, Suning also felt gratified and proud, and his efforts to transform this parallel world were not in vain.
