Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 154 Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty conquered Dadu and ruled the world! 【Seek further reading】

"My lord, my lord is not good. There is no way to repair the Hangzhou over there. The water leak has filled all the water tanks." A navy general under Hu Dahai rushed over and said to him.

The battleship Hangzhou is the latest three-dimensional rapid overturning ship of the Ming Navy. It has several watertight compartments, but because of a collision with other ships in the storm yesterday, the hull of the Hangzhou battleship was smashed through a big hole. In the midst of this storm, it was finally unbearable.

"Hurry up and get out of the rope, all the brothers on the Hangzhou will be picked up on board." Hu Dahai ordered without hesitation.

No matter what time it was, Hu Dahai always kept in mind the teachings of the King of England, His Highness Zhu Han, that for the navy, neither warships nor artillery were as important as naval soldiers.

At this critical moment, Hu Dahai must make a decision to protect the people but not the ship.

The rest of the Daming Navy soldiers also took action immediately, sending out signals to the comrades on the Hangzhou to evacuate.

"Why don't you withdraw?"

After Hu Dahai saw that the signal was sent out, the Hangzhou ship still did not start to evacuate, and he was already annoyed in his heart.

"It must be Commander Hu who doesn't want to give up the ship!" A navy general said beside him.

The commander of the battleship Hangzhou is none other than Hu Guan, the son of Hu Dahai.

Hu Guangzhu was in the Daming Navy, although he was very young, but because of his outstanding talent, Zhu Han was exceptionally promoted to the command of the Hangzhou battleship.

"This bastard!" Hu Dahai was furious.

Although the storm on the sea is small now, but the sky is still covered by dark clouds, a bigger storm may come soon and pay attention to such a waste of time to wait for the storm, when riding, the battleship behind Hangzhou is very, there is It may disintegrate in the storm, and at that time the soldiers who fell into the water will no longer be able to escape.

At this time, the battleship Hangzhou sent a signal, and they asked Hu Dahai how to deal with the horses on the ship.

There are more than 100 foals on the battleship Hangzhou, which were originally used by Haidong Dufu to prepare for future horse training.

These more than 100 high-quality foals are expensive.

Even an ordinary cavalry battalion may not have a hundred ponies.

But now that the situation is so critical, Hu Guan still thinks about Xiao Majuer, not thinking about his own safety at all.

"Tell Hu to pay attention to this bastard, and give up the ship and the horse quickly, as long as the brothers on the ship are brought out alive." Hu Dahai said sharply.

Finally, under Hu Dahai's strict order, Hu Guan, the commander of the battleship Hangzhou, ordered to abandon the ship, and led his men to disperse on the various ships from the upper reaches of the sea.

Just after the fleet of the East Lake Mansion of the Daming Sea abandoned the battleship Hangzhou, a bigger storm came back.

Thick dark clouds covered the sea like black mountains.

The violent storm was raging on the sea, but in the distance, a very bright circle appeared on the sea.

Hu Dahai once heard Zhu Han say that there will be a safe area in the middle of a big storm at sea, and that area is called the eye of the storm.

In fact, the phenomenon of the eye of the storm is very familiar to many ancient Chinese fishermen. Once there is a big storm at sea, fishing boats can be safe and sound even if the surrounding is full of wind and waves. Ships in the eye of the storm cannot be damaged.

Hu Dahai immediately made up his mind when he saw the eye of the storm, and the fleet moved forward to the eye of the storm.

They braved the strong wind and huge waves, and finally exhausted the eye of the storm. After observing the direction of the wind, Hu Dahai gave another order, and the entire fleet moved with the storm.

Although I don't know when this storm will end, and I don't know where this storm will go.

But if you follow the eye of the storm, the fleet can always guarantee its own safety.

As time passed by, Hu Dahai led the fleet in the.Moving forward with God's will, soon the chart in their hands could no longer guide them.

Looking at the boundless ocean, Hu Dahai felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

. . . . .

Outside the metropolis.

One hundred thousand Ming soldiers, lined up neatly, made the final preparations before entering the city outside the capital city.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty led an army of one million to the Northern Expedition and advanced triumphantly all the way. After breaking through the Hejian Mansion and Baoding Mansion, they approached the capital almost without bloodshed.

Tens of thousands of righteous people in Dadu City raised their troops and opened the city gate to welcome the King of Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang has never entered the capital city in order to wait for Zhu Han to enter the capital together and experience this historic moment together.

Now Zhu Han finally came to Hebei from Liaodong on a warship, joined Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition Army, and naturally came to the city of Dadu together.

"400 years! After 400 years, our Han army has finally come to Youzhou again!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the majestic city wall in front of him, and couldn't help expressing emotion softly.

Since Emperor Shi Jingtang of the Jin Dynasty after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms ceded Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to the Liao Kingdom, there has been no Han regime able to control Youzhou for more than 400 years.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty came to the city of Dadu in person, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the surrounding prefectures and counties immediately cheered.

"Long live Daming!"

"His Majesty Zhu Longxing, long live long live long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Amidst the cheers of these people, Zhu Yuanzhang rode his horse forward and waved to the crowd.

Jin Yiwei, who was guarding next to him, immediately followed, and Guo Ying, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, said immediately.

"Be careful, Your Majesty. This is the capital city. If there are Mongol spies to assassinate, it will be dangerous!"

As the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Guo Ying is mainly responsible for the safety of the emperor, and all other important things need to be left behind.

"The capital city is all my people. Even if there are Mongol spies who want to assassinate, these people will definitely kill them on the spot. Don't be afraid!"

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of people, Zhu Yuanzhang cheered and was already full of emotions in his heart. How could he let these people down?

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Han was also very excited!
The fact that the Ming army was able to enter the capital city without bloodshed and recover the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, which had been lost for hundreds of years, was another impressive mark in history.

Seeing the cheering people, Zhu Han immediately chased after the horses. When he got to his brother Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he said in a low voice.

"Brother, while the common people are so enthusiastic now, why don't we announce what we discussed now, so that the common people will support Daming even more!"

Before the Ming army entered Dadu, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang had already discussed and wanted to announce that the people of Dadu would be exempted from taxes for three years after they entered Dadu.

The entire metropolis was already in a state of depression under the raids of the Mongols. Exemption from taxes would not only make the people more grateful to Ming Dynasty, but also stimulate the rapid recovery and development of the local people's livelihood.

"Okay, that's right!"

"Recovering Dadu, that is to say, my Great Ming regained the Central Plains, and everyone in the world should celebrate!"

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile to Zhu Han.

Under the city of Dadu, in the midst of all the attention, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty issued an imperial decree on the spot announcing that the people in Dadu and surrounding counties would be exempted from taxes for three years.

All of a sudden, the people in Dadu were full of tears of excitement, knelt on the ground one after another, and shouted long live in the direction of the Ming emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Under the rule of the Mongols, not to mention exempting the Han people from taxes, it is a great kindness to collect less taxes during a famine, even if it is disaster relief, and not killing the whole family of the Han people. .

As soon as the Ming Dynasty regained the capital city, it immediately announced that the people would be exempted from taxes for three years.

Under such a strong contrast, the people in the capital city have completely obeyed Daming.

"Great Ming for thousands of years!"

"Your Majesty benevolent, even Yao and Shun!"

"Brilliant Ming Dynasty, Haiyan Heqing!"

……

Some literati who had read the book immediately expressed emotion in the crowd, which attracted the common people to follow suit and began to praise Daming with high praise.

In the midst of the cheers and reverence of the crowd, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han at least entered the capital city.

It has to be said that after more than 100 years of operation and construction by the Mongols, the metropolis has far exceeded the scale of thousands of years before, and the various streets and buildings are also extremely beautifully built.

"It's all people's fat and people's anointing!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the bustling and magnificent streets, but there was no trace of joy in his heart, but infinite sympathy.

"Taking from the people and returning to the people, the capital city will belong to Ming Dynasty in the future, and Han people from all over the world can come here to enjoy the prosperity here, and it will no longer be the privilege of the Mongols!" Zhu Han said next to him.

During the period of Mongolian rule, the prosperity of the metropolis belonged to the privileged class of Mongolia. It was almost impossible for ordinary Han people to gain a foothold in the metropolis.

Not to mention the high housing prices in the capitals of the past dynasties since ancient times, it is simply that the Mongols can dispose of the lives and properties of the Han people at will, and it is impossible for ordinary Han people to have a foothold in the metropolis.

Therefore, the Han people in the entire metropolis are actually living very hard.

Now the Ming Dynasty has regained most of the capital.

Naturally, it is not allowed to let the Han people in the city live a life of hunger and cold.

Under the guard of thousands of Jin Yiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han entered the palace.

When the Mongols evacuated, they had already removed all valuables in the palace.

Today, the huge palace has become empty.

Only some carved beams and painted buildings and brightly colored Buddhist murals still show the extravagance and splendor of the past.

Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang toured around the Dayuan Palace.

When they came to the back of the palace hall, they saw a magnificent palace.

When everyone walked into the hall, they saw a huge Buddhist painting of flying Apsaras on the wall facing them.

It's just that the female Bodhisattvas in these Buddhist flying pictures are quite different from ordinary Guanyin Bodhisattvas. They are all dressed in cool clothes, showing enchanting postures, and their eyes are also blurred and seductive.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw the Buddhist flying pictures left by these Mongolians, he immediately showed disgust.

"It's all crooked and demagogic!"

"Come on, smash these things for me."

Zhu Yuanzhang's fiery temper made him angry when he saw the bald donkey things left by these Mongolians.

"Hold on."

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Han stopped several Jin Yiwei who were about to step forward.

He said with a smile to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, "Brother, these things are treasures."

"Baby, what kind of baby?" Zhu Yuanzhang showed a puzzled expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like these Buddhist murals with a strong exotic flavor, which is naturally a very normal thing.

But Zhu Han, as a modern person who is very familiar with traditional Chinese culture, really knows the artistic value of these Yuan Dynasty murals.

Although these murals have a strong exotic style.

But they are all made by Han craftsmen, and their skills are inherited from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Ganzhou.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty in history, large-scale reforms were carried out on these Buddhism with a strong western style, and few of them can be left intact to future generations.

If such a huge Buddhist mural in the Mengyuan Palace is left to future generations, it will definitely be a priceless treasure.

"These are the trophies of my Ming Dynasty. I will transport them to Yingtian Mansion for future generations to see what the Mongols left behind. They know how difficult it is for future generations to enjoy peace and happiness."

Zhu Han already had an idea in mind to build the Daming Museum.

In his plan, every time Daming conquers a place, he must move the valuable local things to the Daming Museum to display Daming's martial arts.

Great Britain in another time and space uses this method to use the British Museum to allow the people of a closed island country to have a world perspective.

Zhu Han's expectation for the Ming Dynasty is not only to be a Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, but to turn the world into an empire on which the sun never sets. The people of this great empire must have the mind and vision to look at the world. Let these things be rooted in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the all-encompassing Daming Museum must be built.

Zhu Han answered the doubts in his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang's heart with these words. After hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in agreement.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the authority to Zhu Han about how to deal with the imperial palace left by the Mongolian and Yuan courts.

After some investigation, not only the imperial palace, but also the mansions of other officials were all swept away by the Mongols when they retreated.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Han immediately suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang to take all the houses controlled by the city into the imperial court.

"Why do you want to take it back to the court? Shouldn't it be distributed to those poor people in Dadu?" the older brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked a little puzzled.

Zhu Han shook his head, and then said: "If these houses are distributed to the poor people, it can only solve their temporary difficulties, but after the Dadu City will be my Ming Dynasty's northern frontier defense town, the number of people in the city will only increase. By that time Many idlers who are of no use to the imperial court's Northern Expedition will occupy many houses in the city, but the later common people cannot have their own residences, which is very unfavorable for our soldiers guarding the border of Mingshu to settle here."

The reason why Zhu Han thinks this way is because he has more long-term considerations. Now the Mongols have retreated from here and left a lot of houses and land, if they are used to distribute to the people in Dadu today.

They became charterers who owned a lot of real estate, but those later soldiers and civilians had no place to stand, and once these people became beneficiaries, they would definitely resist various future policies of the imperial court.
