My Daming New Empire

Page 734

Their vanguard troops were all strong men, and the imperial court supported them with [-] horses.But most of the latter are relatives, and of course it is impossible for the court to send a horse to everyone.

However, they also robbed more than 2000 horses locally, and sent 500 people to escort these horses and gold back.

It took four months to go there, but the return journey only took more than two months.

But these people underestimated the coldness in Mobei, and on the way back from the cold, dozens of them died and dozens of them were disabled by the cold.

When they arrived at Beiming Mountain, they couldn't hold on anymore. They could only repair there first, and they couldn't come back before the Chinese New Year.

Jin Yiwei followed four people, and they recorded every detail of the journey, which is why there is such a thick book.

Yang Zhangde looked through it roughly, and then ordered: "Tell Madam, I will come back later, and I have to send this information to the palace first."

Chang'an Square is not far from the Imperial Palace, because a new parliament hall is being built at the location of the Jiaofang Division and Pedestrian Division, and the road here is closed.Riding a horse has to go around in a big circle, it is better to go directly on foot.

Yang Zhangde led four entourages along the closed path and entered the construction site of the council hall. Looking at the somewhat chubby building, Yang Zhangde always felt a little uncomfortable.

The buildings in Ming Dynasty are either square or round, but there is no building like this with half round and half square, which looks weird.

But he also knew that this was because the council hall was the place for discussion, and future court meetings would not be held in Fengtian Hall, but would be held here.

It is designed to seat more than [-] people, and it is necessary to use all means of sound amplification so that everyone can clearly hear what a certain person is saying.

And I don't want the arena here, I just pursue loud sound there, no matter what the final sound comes out, I can't hear the real sound at all.

But here it is necessary to maintain a real voice so that everyone can clearly hear the tone behind the sentence and the meaning behind the sentence.

Therefore, under the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry and Karl Soli, a fan-shaped building like this was created.

The parliament hall is close to the city wall of the imperial city, on the inner side of the moat.There were five yamen in the original site, except for the Honglu Temple which remained in the same place, the other Huitong Hall, Pedestrian Division, Jiaofang Division and Guanglu Temple were all moved to other places.

This place will become the center of the imperial court's affairs in the future, and its grandeur is indispensable.

In order to show the brilliance of the Ming Dynasty here, His Highness resisted all opinions and built this building higher than the original Fengtian Hall, reaching a height of [-] Zhang.

This building is like an open folding fan, opening to the south. The square building is located in the north, where the emperor will sit in the future.

Thinking that Zhu Zhanji would sit there and listen to civil and military officials in the future, he couldn't help being excited.

The guard of Jinyiwei Dahan was very surprised to see Yang Zhangde go and come back.Not as good as their direct superiors, of course they led directly into the city gate.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the internal prisoner only checked briefly, because Zhu Zhanji allowed the general to carry a knife, and Yang Zhangde entered the palace without even removing the knife.

"Where is Your Highness now?"

"His Royal Highness is still receiving the Southwest Dong King in the Jinshen Hall. I'm afraid he will have the Dong King to eat at noon."

Yang Zhangde followed the servants at the west corner gate and the middle right gate to Jinshen Hall alone, and he talked to the servants on duty and the staff of Honglu Temple, and they hurried in to report.

Although Yang Zhangde is not their immediate superior, the defense of the palace mainly relies on Jin Yiwei, and they dare not offend this popular man in front of Zhu Zhanji.

In the hall, Zhu Zhanji was having a hypocritical courtesy with the King Dong from Guizhou in a somewhat bored manner.

Since the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang has vigorously controlled the southwest after winning the country.After many years of fighting by the Mu family, the entire southwest is now pacified.

This Dong king is a descendant of the former Dong king Wu Mian, who has lost his wildness, and is no different from the Ming people except for his clothes.

Now they regard Da Ming as a fool, and ask Da Ming for support if there is any disaster or lack.

The attitude of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di is that I can help you, but I will not meet your requirements, that is, the policy of not giving you enough food.

Zhu Zhanji has not freed his hand to target them yet, so Xiao Gui and Cao Sui followed the original policy.

For Dong Wang's request, [-]% was satisfied, and he refused to let go.

Dong Wang was originally a lion who opened his mouth wide, and then waited for Daming to bargain.Although [-]% did not meet his expectations, Zhu Zhanji insisted on not giving more, so he could only accept it.

Zhu Zhanji actually dislikes such political wrangling.But there is no way, sitting in this position, some things cannot be pushed easily.

After receiving Liu Wan's notification, Yang Zhangde went back and forth, which made him feel tense.

But he quickly figured it out again, if it was really a big and urgent matter, he would have told the staff of Honglu Temple just now.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he also wants to have a safe and stable New Year.

Yang Zhangde entered the hall without squinting, walked straight to Zhu Zhanji's side, clasped his fists in salute, then bowed to Zhu Zhanji's side and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the news from Jixi has come back, Lin San and his wife It's on its feet."

With that said, he took out the information book and handed it to Liu Wan.Almost nothing can go directly into Zhu Zhanji's hands without checking for toxins.

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "I'll go to Cao Guogong's mansion tomorrow afternoon, let them get ready."

Yang Zhangde was overjoyed, and saluted again: "I will go and inform Duke Cao's mansion right now."

After the information was checked, it was handed over to Zhu Zhanji.Zhu Zhanji let Xie Jin go, and Jian Yi and the others quarreled with King Dong and opened up the information.

This information does not have too many exaggerated descriptions, and it records their journey of thousands of miles in detail from the perspective of a bystander.

How many miles I walked every day, how many travel difficulties I encountered, how many tribes I met, and which tribes were friendly and which tribes were hostile.

After arriving at the predetermined address in Tanglin City, they found a gold mine and started logging and building houses there. The team of more than 5000 people lost more than 300 people in the past six months.

But all the hardships come, with the sacrifice of more than 300 people, in exchange for the settlement of more than 4000 people.

The return team started the trip in mid-October, and it took four months to go with a horse-drawn carriage.But when they came back, they all rode horses and got familiar with the road again, and they arrived at Beiming Mountain in less than two months.

The extreme cold that claimed dozens of lives was the only loss.

Zhu Zhanji sighed, today's intelligence personnel still don't know how to be a real intelligence personnel.Because some people's quality and culture are not high, they can't grasp the key points of intelligence.

Although this information is detailed, it requires analysts to re-analyze the key points, which increases the workload.

Moreover, the most important diplomatic and military intelligence, their records are too few.

In Zhu Zhanji's impression, it will take hundreds of years for Russia to exist now, and now there is only one Principality of Moscow, which is still under the rule of the Golden Horde.

But apart from the Principality of Moscow, they didn't record any large tribes around Tanglin City, their military strength, or their attitude towards Ming.

Listening to Jian Yi's argument with King Dong, what Zhu Zhanji thought was that Daming should establish some professional schools. Even if there are still some troubles in establishing professional schools, he should find someone to carry out some vocational training.

Most of today's officials are not competent officials.

"October [-]. Sunny. On this day, we finally arrived at the carboniferous mine at the angle between the river and the coast that His Highness explained, but because of the cover of the mountain, everyone was not sure if it was here. Everyone was also wondering, that How Magellan discovered that there is carboniferous here.

It took a day, after repeated measurements, and tested the water depth on the shore, we finally found a suitable landing site.

The aborigines here look a little different from our Ming people. They are not like the aborigines in the north, they are almost the same as our Ming people, and they speak differently.
