waste?
Hehe, I just like being a waste!
The second-generation prince and the third-generation prince looked on with cold eyes, unmoved at all.
They were living a comfortable life, so why did they have to fight bloody battles, open up territories for the Ming Dynasty, and fight on the battlefield?
In this new system of vassalage, there are densely listed shackles. Even if he is finally crowned king overseas, he is just a puppet and must strictly obey the orders of the Central Heavenly Family.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to just be a waste!
No one will die in a war?
Isn't it necessary to bleed when killing the enemy in battle?
Don’t I know how to pour my passion on women?
Whoever wants to agree with this new system of vassalage in Laoshizi, I don’t agree with it anyway!
King Zhu Zhiwen of Qin, King Zhu Zhaohui of Lu, King Zhu Chonghuo of Han, and other second- and third-generation princes exchanged glances and wisely chose to boycott.
The king of the valley, Zhu Su, conspired to rebel, so you, Zhu Gaoxu, had the confidence to chop off his head.
But we people are all honest and kind princes. We fully implement your policy of raising pigs in the lineage of King Yan, eating, drinking, having fun and playing with women. Now we are not willing to go into battle to kill the enemy. You can't chop us all up. Already?
Among the princes of the generation, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, also disagreed.
He was originally a person who liked reading and learning. He was "well-versed in classics and elegant in appearance". He was known as the "Sichuan scholar" in the court and did not like fighting or killing.
Now you ask me, a scholar from Shu, to go into battle and fight with blood. Isn't this funny?
I won’t go!
However, the youngest sons of Taizu, such as Shen Wang Zhu Mo and An Wang Zhu Ying, experienced the turbulent events of the Jingnan Campaign and were almost imprisoned to death like King Zhu Song of Han. So they were already frightened out of their wits.
Finally, in the sixth year of Yongle, they were able to join the feudal vassal and become a wealthy and idle prince. This was the most stable and satisfying life for them at the moment.
At this moment, facing the new system proposed by King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty, in which kings were promoted to the outside world based on their military merits, they were also the boss who was not happy.
Even if this new vassal system can help them gain military power, they can even seal territories and dominate one side!
However, vassal kings such as Shen Wang Zhu Mo and An Wang Zhu Ying did not have such ambitions at all.
They were still young when Taizu died, and they experienced the Jingnan War first-hand. From the Jianwen Dynasty to the Yongle Dynasty, they finally survived after stumbling upon each other.
For them, living peacefully is enough.
Only a few first-generation princes, such as King Zhu Gui, King Su Zhu Mei, King Zhu Zhi of Liao, King Zhu Zhu of Qing, King Zhu Quan of Ning and other former kings who fought against the barbarians, faced the temptation of military power thrown by Zhu Gaoxu. They had no way to refuse.
The nine great fortress kings who were powerful in the Hongwu Dynasty were all powerful princes who had three armies of guards and guarded the important frontier towns.
Among them, Ning Wang Zhu Quan is the most powerful, with 80,000 armored soldiers and 6,000 chariots. The three Duoyan cavalrymen he belongs to are all brave and good at fighting!
Zhu Quan himself also joined the kings on many occasions to fight in the fortress, and was famous for his good strategy.
Back then, they, the nine fortress kings, jointly went out to fight, constantly encroaching on the pasture territory of the Mongolian tribes, plundering the Mongolian tribes' people and livestock, and beating them to the point where they ran away without fear of going south to herd horses. How majestic, domineering, and happy they were!
However, glory is short-lived. As soon as Emperor Taizu Gao died of illness, the stubborn Emperor Jianwen directly pointed his sword at them, killing them, and in the end, he was forcibly deprived of his throne.
In the Yongle Dynasty, their life was not much better. The power of the three guards was taken away one after another, and even the fiefdom was moved to the inland. They became a group of paper tigers without sharp teeth. They could only be imprisoned in the fiefdom and become a slave. A waste of food waiting to die!
This is simply intolerable to the King of Peiyi Sai who once dominated one side and held real power!
But now, they have a chance to regain military power, even if it requires them to take their descendants to fight on the battlefield with their lives!
But so what?
Is it possible that you are really willing to be a pig waiting to die?
The acting king Zhu Gui is unwilling to give in!
Su Wang Zhu Mei was unwilling to give in!
King Zhu Zhi of Liao was unwilling to give in!
Qing Wang Zhu Zhuan was unwilling to give in!
The most unwilling person is Ning Wang Zhu Quan!
At that time, he believed the nonsense of King Zhu Di of Yan that "when everything is done, the world will be divided equally", and he was coerced into rebelling.
As a result, after the incident was completed, not only did he not get his share of the world, but he was also imprisoned in Nanchang. He was even framed and criticized many times. In order to survive, he could only hide his capabilities and bide his time, playing the piano, reading, and praying to immortals all day long!
However, he is Ning Wang Zhu Quan!
The seventeenth son of Taizu who was loved by Taizu since he was a child. He had 80,000 soldiers in armor and 6,000 chariots. He was famous for being good at strategy!
Unsurprisingly, the feudal kings had different opinions, and a quarrel soon broke out.
The king of Sai wanted to regain military power, so he strongly supported the new vassal system, such as Dai Wang Zhu Gui, Su Wang Zhu Mei, Ning Wang Zhu Quan and others.
The first generation of princes, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu, Shu Wang Zhu Chun and others, were unwilling to accept the new vassal system because they were born not to like killing. However, they had to consider their own descendants. After all, they were left to eat and die. The waste is really disappointing.
There is probably only one such opportunity.
As for the second-generation prince and the third-generation prince, the blood and ambition in their bones had long been annihilated in the gentle countryside, so naturally they were firmly opposed to it.
After all, now I can eat, drink, have fun and play with women, and my life is more carefree and happy than that of a god. Only when my brain is caught by the door will I open up territory and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Gaoxu had a panoramic view of the performance of the kings and ordered Nie Xing to carry up the "Atlas of All Nations".
The kings who were still noisy at first fell silent in an instant and looked at the "Kanyu Map of All Nations" with dull expressions. Just like Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others, they were shocked to the point of losing their voices.
Even the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi was stunned at the moment. After all, this was the first time he had seen the true appearance of this world.
"As you can see, this is the Map of All Nations, and the Ming Dynasty is just a corner."
"The imperial court will cooperate with the new system of sects and vassals and begin to conquer the north and south, annex and expand. At least it will control the Yi countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty in order to deal with the coming Western powers!"
"This is a time of great strife, with frequent wars between Western countries. The Ottoman Empire's navy has already set foot in the South China Sea and almost annihilated Zheng He's fleet!"
"In the great world, the strong will be strong, and the weak will be destroyed. The Ming Dynasty has reached the time to prepare for war and become a hero!"
Zhu Gaoxu had a serious expression on his face and opened his mouth, not caring at all about the huge impact his continuous lies had on the kings!
"As you can see, this continent is divided into three parts. The Ming Dynasty is on the right, Tamerlane is in the middle, and Osman is on the left."
"At this moment, both the Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire are frantically expanding and annexing small surrounding countries, plundering their populations and increasing their national strength. Maybe you think that the two countries are far apart and will not interact at all, but you have forgotten that the danger may come from the sea!"
"The last time Zheng He went to sea, he encountered an Ottoman navy when he arrived in the South Seas. There were only a thousand men, but they had strong ships and cannons that our Ming Dynasty could not resist. They almost defeated Zheng He's navy. The army was destroyed!”
"This is a time of great strife. Once you fall behind, you will only be beaten. If you don't take advantage of the time when the Western powers have not yet reacted, develop the Ming's military and strengthen our Ming's national power, annex the surrounding barbarian countries and build a maritime defense line, let alone you and other clan princes. If you continue to eat, drink, whore, gamble and play with women, your head will be cut off by Western barbarians and played as a ball!"
All the vassal kings: "!!!"
Numb!
I'm numb!
Why did a Western barbarian appear again?
And he has such a terrifying naval fleet?
The Ming Dynasty defeated a Mongolian barbarian, but it has not been defeated yet, and now there is a stronger Western barbarian...
It really kills people!
The second-generation prince and the third-generation prince were all stupid. They originally wanted to eat, drink, whore, gamble and play with women, but now that the Western barbarians are almost attacking their own home, how can they live an honest life?
The first-generation prince was also startled, and then became furious on the spot.
The Ming Dynasty has always conquered other countries. What do these Western barbarians mean? Who gave them the courage to cross the ocean and provoke the Ming Dynasty?
The king of Peiyi Sai was ecstatic, laughing in his heart, and was inexplicably grateful to these Western barbarians who suddenly appeared.
What a good man, what a good man!
No wonder the imperial court would reorganize the clan and vassal system and let him wait for his clan vassal kings to go out to fight. It turned out that the enemies had already reached the door of the house, and the sons of Lao Zhu's family were needed to fight side by side!
If it weren't for this group of Western barbarians, they would probably have no chance of success forever, and they could only be pigs waiting to die. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net This will be the case for generations to come!
These Western barbarians came at the perfect time!
When we meet in the future, we must express our condolences cordially!
"I will explain the reason clearly to you."
"The conditions are clearly written on the new vassal system."
"So now, I am not asking for your opinions, but informing you!"
"To put it bluntly, which of your princes has not annexed land and persecuted the people? I really want to settle accounts with you, not at this banquet, but in the prison!"
Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, all the vassal kings trembled and their faces became a little ugly.
Although you are right, we are still clan lords after all, so why can't you save some face for us?
"Kings of rebels and barbarians, this is real military power. As long as you perform meritorious deeds, you will be able to seal the territory and control one side!"
"Princes of the generation, this is a rare God-given opportunity, unless you are willing to watch your descendants become useless rice worms and be pigs forever!"
"Second and third generation princes, I am not discussing this with you, but informing you that all of you who only know how to eat, drink, whore, gamble and play with women, as long as you still have a bit of Taizu's blood in your bones, you should take up arms at this moment. Join the Ming Dynasty in resisting foreign enemies!"
All the vassal kings: "!!!"
Your uncle!
The reasons have been found for us!
With this said, it seems that I really have to accept it...
It doesn't matter whether there is military power or not, and it doesn't matter what "the land is closed to the border and the ruler is in charge of one side". The main thing is that as a descendant of Taizu and the son of the old Zhu family, I can't bear to see foreign enemies provoking my Ming Dynasty like this!
A group of Western barbarians, barbarian people, what are you crazy about?
