My Daming New Empire

"Yes!" After taking the prescription from Zhu Zhanji, he immediately trot away with his head down.

At this time, Li Liang and the others came to Zhu Zhanji's side, and Zhu Zhanji ordered: "Go and let Li Bin, Marquis of Fengcheng, come to see Gu."

Li Bin was a general in the early Ming Dynasty. He was brave and good at fighting. He guarded the northwest in his early years and killed all the Mongolian and Yuan tribes.

Later, all the ministries in the Northwest were subordinated, and he was transferred back to the capital, where he served as the left governor of the western army's governor's mansion, and served as the avant-garde commander of the government army.

The prefectural guard of the government army is a special guard of the direct guard of the capital, because the prefectural guard of the prefectural army also takes on the task of selecting the source of soldiers, and has always been the largest guard among the various military guards in the capital.

He is highly respected and has been in the Northwest in his early years, and he is not close to the prince's family, so Zhu Di chose him to put Zhu Gaochi under house arrest.

"My minister, Li Bin, has seen Your Highness." After a while, Li Liang brought Li Bin into the hall.

Zhu Zhanji had been prepared for a long time, and held the veteran's arm before he fell down. "You don't have to be polite, old general. Gu has admired you for a long time when you dominated the Northwest, but I haven't had the chance to see you these years."

When Zhu Zhanji came back this year, he met him, but the two had no personal relationship.Although he is a general of the frontier army, although he has a high position and authority in the capital, he has been relatively low-key because of the change of environment.

Although Li Bin has no personal relationship with Zhu Zhanji, he is the backbone of the generals, so he is naturally closer to Zhu Zhanji who is biased towards generals.

And Zhu Zhanji, who is heroic and majestic, is naturally more supported by Li Bin than Zhu Gaochi, who has to be supported even to walk.

After inviting Li Bin to sit down, Zhu Zhanji said: "Since the emperor asked the general to garrison in the other courtyard, he naturally trusted the general. Now my father is weak and cannot be stimulated. From now on, I hope the general can strictly implement the military order. "

When Li Bin received Zhu Di's order, he was still a little uneasy.After all, the prince is the father of the grandson. If I am too strict, I am afraid that the prince will be unhappy, and I will not do well in front of the grandson.

Now that he heard Zhu Zhanji's words, he immediately understood, and clasped his fists as if he had taken a reassurance, and said, "I must obey Your Highness's order!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "It is said that Mr. Ling Li Xian is returning to Beijing now, and he has not arranged any duties yet?"

Li Bin was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "This son is used to being wild, and he doesn't want to spend his days in Jingwei. He wanted to go back to the Northwest Frontier Army, but was blocked by my minister."

"He was a commander in the Northwest Army before, and he was brave and good at fighting. I just don't know if he is willing to give in to the post of commander of the fourth guard of my young army..."

This time Li Bin immediately bowed down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation!"

Now Zhu Zhanji's young army has to be reorganized. The 7000 young army currently has less than [-] people, and it needs to replenish [-] troops. Moreover, every position of the increased military guards has been robbed.

Now that Zhu Zhanji directly promised a commander, Li Bin was overjoyed.This is the future commander of His Majesty's own army, even ten commanders of the frontier army can't compare!

Of course, Zhu Zhanji promoted Li Xian not just because he wanted to win over Li Bin. The father and son are both extraordinary, with brilliant achievements.

Li Xian didn't seek a job in the capital for more than a year, and he might have his eyes on Zhu Zhanji's young army.

Zhu Zhanji lacked this kind of general who had been on the battlefield all the time, so he saw Li Xian right.

Now a general is harvested, and Li Bin is brought in again.

From now on, in this other courtyard, the internal and external information channels will be controlled by Zhu Zhanji. No matter what news or people Zhu Gaochi wants to get, it all depends on Zhu Zhanji's wishes.

Chapter 58 East Continent Project

Of course, it was not Zhu Zhanji's intention to put Zhu Gaochi under house arrest. He just asked Li Bin to carry out Zhu Di's order more perfectly.

Of course Li Bin knew that Zhu Zhanji must not be responsible for this blame. If he dared to let Zhu Zhanji bear the blame today, the fate of their Fengcheng Hou Li family would be over.

So even if he wanted to clear the defense again, it would not start today. He had to find an excuse to use this as an opportunity to tighten the defense even more.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't care what Li Bin will do, he only cares about the result.

Zhu Gaochi is his father, he can't deal with him directly, but he can deal with the people around him.As long as the information channels of these people are cut off, Zhu Gaochi will become a deaf and blind man.

Now, it depends on Li Bin, a veteran, whether he is politically sensitive or not.

When he returned to Xiama Bridge from the other courtyard, it was already dark. He didn't delay at Xiama Bridge, and led Habayashi Wei directly into Chaoyang Gate.

The inside of the city gate has been cleared, no matter whether they are entering or leaving the city, the people did not kneel down, but squatted on both sides of the road.

Among these crowds, two middle-aged men in brocade robes stood out.

Zhu Zhanji's horse galloped up, and the two bowed together to salute. "I have seen His Highness."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Meng Ying who was smiling all over his face, and fixed his eyes on Yi Xin who was a little uneasy. "Follow into the palace!"

The guards gave up two horses, and the two stepped on the horses and followed Zhu Zhanji.

The imperial palace is located in the southwest corner of Yingtianfu. After entering the Chaoyang Gate, there are two consecutive city walls and gates, Dong'an Gate and Donghua Gate.

After entering the Donghua Gate, Zhu Zhanji looked at the sky when he fell off the horse in Wengcheng. There was still an hour before the palace closed, which was enough for him to talk to the two of them.

The weather in March was not cold, and Zhu Zhanji didn't want to talk to them in the dark room, so he took them to the garden of the East Palace.

"Yixin, Gu is a little disappointed. It's been three years, and you haven't explored the location of Dongzhou. Gu has already given you the coordinates and the climate map, but you have only now explored the area around Midway Island."

The Midway Island mentioned by Zhu Zhanji is the Aleutian Islands of later generations.This [-]-kilometer-long island chain of more than [-] small islands connects the passage from Hokkaido Island to the North American continent.

In the past three years, Yixin has explored the Bering Strait in the north and reached the Alaska region in later generations, but he has never been able to go south.

In fact, his grades are already very good. In the era without steam engines, sailing was too affected by the weather.

But because of a major case in Shandong, Zhu Zhanji also wanted to beat him.

Yi Xin knelt down on both knees, bowed his head and said, "I am incompetent..."

"You're not incompetent, you just got Zhonglian Island as the family base, and now your thoughts are complicated. You can tell Gu, how much attention have you put on official business in the past three years?"

Although the weather wasn't hot yet, the cold sweat on Yi Xin's face started to break out even faster. Instead of getting up, he buried his head down. "The minister deserves death!"

Zhu Zhanji turned around, looked at Yi Xin who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Look up and look at Gu."

Yi Xin didn't dare to disobey, and looked up at the tall Zhu Zhanji overlooking him. His cold and serious face made him tremble with fear. "I don't care that you compare with Ji Gang and build the Earl's Mansion magnificently. I don't care that you are busy with private affairs most of the time, but you shouldn't neglect government affairs and make the Shandong water village useless. You shouldn't be afraid of hardships and dangers, just sit Remotely control the fleet to explore the sea at home.

The reason why Gu didn't let anyone take you was because he pityed your talent and couldn't bear the ruin of your Lianbo Mansion just after it was built.In the past three years, I was not in Daming, and I couldn't supervise you all the time. Although you have made mistakes, I would like to give you a chance.

Your eyes should not only be on the small island of Zhonglian Island, nor should you only be on Dongying, or Beidi. If you want to look farther, look to the east, there is a land farther than Daming A continent that is several times larger is waiting for me, Ming, to occupy it. "

Yi Xin bowed down, and said loudly: "I will personally lead the team to Dongzhou when the north wind stopped in April. This time, if I don't explore Dongzhou clearly, I will not return it to the death."

Then Zhu Zhanji nodded secretly and said: "Go and find Hou Xian. This time the Dongzhou expedition will be led by Hou Xian. The Second Fleet dispatched [-] soldiers, and Nanjiang dispatched [-] soldiers. This time Gu wants you to bring back everything that Gu wants.”

Yi Xin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the scale of this expedition to be so large, it was almost as big as the regulations when Zheng He sailed to the West.

Before he had time to think about it, he kowtowed and said, "I obey the order."

The gold mines in Alaska, the silver mines and gold mines in America are not what Zhu Zhanji wants now.What Zhu Zhanji wants is corn, potatoes, and South American rubber trees.

The food crisis has not broken out now, but now it is all cultivated by manpower, and one person can only toss a dozen acres of land at most.

The higher the grain yield, the higher the work efficiency.
