Zhu Qi naturally knew that his eldest brother, Prince Zhu Biao, would definitely approve his funding request.

But later I heard from the Jinyiwei that many officials in the Prince's Mansion were talking bad things in front of Zhu Biao, asking Prince Zhu Biao to be careful that he would seize the position of Prince, etc.

Of course, my good brother ignored these remarks at all and still unconditionally supported my third brother.

The moment when Zhu Qi was moved, he was actually a little scared.

Since ancient times, the imperial family has been the most ruthless. How many brothers have fought for the throne to death.

Although during the Hongwu period, the status of Prince Zhu Biao was unparalleled and no one could shake it.

But now the officials in the prince's mansion made such remarks. Zhu Qi couldn't help but worry whether his relationship with the prince's eldest brother became worse because of a few words from outsiders?

If this is true, it would be heartbreaking!

I just want to lie flat on the Salted Fish Prince. I don’t want to get involved in inheriting the Grand Principality, which is such a headache.

However, the more Zhu Qi didn't want those people, the more he felt that he seemed to be fighting, which made Zhu Qi feel overwhelmed.

But let it go. As long as I make a promise in a small place in Liaoyang and wait for Zhu Di to become emperor, then my good days as a third brother will definitely come.

Of course, the best thing is Zhu Biao. Don’t die so early and be able to survive until the throne.

If you live for a few more years, this prosperous Ming Dynasty will definitely be even more powerful by the prosperous times in history.

When he was working on people's livelihood projects in Liaoyang and made it prosperous, it was naturally impossible for the Beiyuan side to make the Ming Dynasty happy.

Although their attack had been completely curbed by the Ming Dynasty, it was not so easy for the Ming Dynasty to attack the grassland.

Although Wang Baobao is not that capable and can enter the Central Plains, he is still very good at defense.

There was no flaw in the moment, which allowed the Ming Dynasty to seize the Fourth Northern Expedition.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is much better for the Ming Dynasty.

Not only did Kangba, the front-line fortress on the grassland, but also Qinghai, a strategic location, have already gained a foothold in Liaodong.

Gao Gaoli made all the messes and no threats for His Royal Highness Liao. The rest is enough to concentrate on dealing with the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

And when the Northern Yuan and Ming dynasties competed with each other, other tribes on the grassland were actually not idle, such as Urianha.

Just talking about Urianha, there may not be many people who know, but Urianha has another famous name, that is, the Three Guards of Duoyan.

It can be said that without the help of Duoyan's three guards, it would not be so easy for Zhu Di to succeed in the crisis.

Now, Urianha's combat power is also extremely powerful, but compared to the giant Northern Yuan and Ming dynasties, it is still a small tribe that survives in the cracks.

The leader of Urianha, named Azhasli, is not a small character.

He was a descendant of Timugeo Ochijin, the younger brother of Genghis Khan of Yuan Taizu. He was once the King of Liao and could be regarded as a descendant of the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, as early as the Northern Yuan Dynasty was falling, when Naha had occupied Liaodong and Liao territory, his territory had been occupied by Naha.

Naha made a famous name to resist the peasant uprising and the Red Turban Army that wanted to storm the fierce peasant uprising and the Red Turban Army, but in fact it was just the routine of Mongolian tribes occupying other tribes on the grassland.

In other words, the current land of Azhasil, the leader of Urianha, has been occupied by Naha.

Azha Shili had no strong strength before, and his territory was occupied, so he had to admit defeat by himself.

However, now seeing that Nahachu was beaten by the Ming Dynasty, Azha Shili couldn't help but have some other thoughts in his heart.

As for whether you say you are loyal to the Northern Yuan Dynasty or the royal family, you cannot contact the Ming Dynasty, that is a joke. Azha Shili never believed in the four words "loyalty to the emperor or patriotism".

After all, he never received Confucian education since he was a child.

Looking at the entire Yuan Dynasty, although there was also Chineseization, the progress of Chineseization was very slow, and the level was not very high.

This is also one of the reasons why the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown after only less than a hundred years.

If you have a relationship with the Ming Dynasty, there are naturally many benefits. For example, the Liao area north of Liaodong may be rewarded to itself.

That was originally his own land, and Azha Shili still wanted to take it back from it.

However, how to make the Ming Dynasty trust itself is a difficult problem. You write directly to the letter saying that I want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and hope that the Ming Dynasty can accept it. This is definitely not realistic.

However, Azhasili has a daughter who is in her twenties and is young and beautiful.

Since ancient times, if you want to reach an alliance or gain the trust of others, marriage is the best way to do it.

It is naturally impossible for Azhashili to marry any princess in the Ming Dynasty. The previous marriage of the princess has been known to other countries, and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to get along with others so easily.

But the princess can't marry her, so her daughter can be married!

If you want to say the most suitable candidate for marrying, it goes without saying that it must be His Highness the King of Liao.

It is naturally the best to marry the crown prince Zhu Biao, but the crown prince is the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the person is still in Yingtian Mansion's own. The daughter's past may not have a particularly great effect on the Liaodong area.

But if you marry His Highness the King of Liao, you can still blow the wind beside you without any trouble, and the possibility is greater. Naturally, it is better to choose His Highness the King of Liao.

Azha Shili didn't think much about it, so he made this decision alone, asking his daughter to secretly marry the Liao King Zhu Qi, and then tied up the Ming Dynasty's chariot.

He said this to his daughter, and then without thinking much, he arranged for someone to go to the Ming Dynasty to contact His Highness the King of Liao.

By the way, I sent this news to Yingtian Prefecture to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I believe that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not miss this opportunity to An Xuan. After all, as long as it can weaken the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it will definitely not be let go.

However, after Azhazili arranged everything, he discovered a fatal problem.

That is, his daughter has grown up, and after hearing that Azha Shili was about to marry him to the Liao King Zhu Qi of the Ming Dynasty, he actually ran away.

——————

In March of the 12th year of Hongwu, Liaoyang.

Liaoyang, once deeply trapped in the quagmire of war, has now flourished after more than a year of rest.

Although the Liao River to the north and Tieling City to the south are now border areas where wars occur frequently.

However, Liaoyang, which is less than a hundred miles away from these two places, seems very peaceful and peaceful under the rule of Liao King Zhu Qi.

After all, there are a large group of Ming Dynasty generals guarding the frontier defense line.

It is almost impossible to get people from the Northern Yuan or Goryeo to break through the defense line and enter the vicinity of Liaoyang.

Not to mention that in Goryeo, the King of Goryeo has already pulled up a puppet.

Now, although the regime of King Goryeo is not very powerful, it has already gained a foothold under the continuous blood transfusions in the Ming Dynasty.

And occupying one-fifth of the territory, Li Chenggui even had to draw out his elite main force to deal with the current Goryeo King Wang Mian.

It can be said that except for Liaodong, wars are being fought from all directions.

Of course, these refugees rushed in towards Liaodong. At this time of the Ming Dynasty, human power symbolized national strength.

The more people there are, the more prosperous the country is.

However, how to resettle these refugees has become a difficult problem. However, for King Zhu Qi of Liao, it is not too difficult?

A series of laws and regulations were soon promulgated.

The first thing is to create various warm tents, temporarily resettle refugees, and then ask them to build houses.

Building new settlements and reclaiming farmland, etc., all require manpower. As long as they have work, the imperial court will provide food and accommodation.

Of course, there is no salary left. It would be great if you can make you eat.

If you give your wages, Zhu Qi doesn’t have that much money.

So, you can see a very spectacular scene in Liaoyang.

That is, in the nearby suburbs, there is a large area of ​​cut-out clearings, full of tents, and the tent areas look orderly and not at all chaotic.

In addition, there are people who specially clean and set up special toilet areas.

This is not like a team of refugees? It is like a special construction team stationed next to Liaoyang.

Any civil servant who saw this scene had to sigh that the management ability of the Liao King was truly unparalleled in the world.

In fact, Zhu Qi did not manage it in particular, but only required that the camps be placed in a pattern, which was beautiful and planned out all functional areas in advance.

The most important thing is to have clean water sources, clean food, as well as various measures to prevent diseases, etc.

Then Zhu Qi had all advanced knowledge. If he arranged these things properly, the camp naturally looked organized and there was no problem.

The people in Liaoyang originally thought that under the impact of these refugees, life in Liaoyang would become even more chaotic.

But I didn't expect that under the arrangement of His Highness the Liao King, I was still so peaceful and organized.

Naturally, he continued to praise His Highness the King of Liao, let alone those refugees.

They were all bound to die, but they didn't expect that after they arrived in Liaoyang, they still survived.

Not only that, I also found a job and could work and keep food and accommodation.

The houses they built were all lived in by themselves in the future, and the wasteland they reclaimed was planted by themselves. Where can I find such a good thing?

For them, it is really a lifelong honor to be able to run to the Ming Dynasty and become the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qi also refused everyone to come. No matter where you came from, as long as you are a labor force and agree with the ideals of China, you can join the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, the surrounding areas are Chinese land in modern times.

As for Zhu Qi, there is no discrimination against those refugees who have come here. In the future, they are all Chinese.
