How to choose?

Does this still require thinking?

Seeing that the other vassal kings were still deep in thought, Zhu Gui, the irascible acting king, immediately said angrily: "What's wrong? You usually show off your power one by one, but now people are coming to the door, but you don't dare to say anything?"

"You don't dare, but I do!"

"Nephew Gao Xu, on behalf of the descendants of the royal family, I am willing to accept the new system, expand territory and make contributions to our Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's heart moved.

Although this generation of king Zhu Gui was not a good bird, he was good at serving the army and the people in the fiefdom of Datong because of his bad temper, levying excessive taxes and exploiting the common people, but he could not stand up to the fact that he was smart and could see the general trend clearly!

With Taizu's thirteenth son Dai Wang Zhu Gui taking the lead, all the feudal kings also borrowed the donkey from Poxia and nodded in agreement.

At this point, they have no choice.

Either follow the wishes of the imperial court, give up everything you have, go out to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and be promoted to the nobility based on your military exploits; or you can wait to be liquidated by the thief Prince Han, or you can wait to have your head cut off and played as a football by the Western barbarians. !

Obviously, the clan kings of the Ming Dynasty were not stupid. Even the second and third generations were excited and screamed at the new system.

As for how many of these fifteen Ming princes were willing, how many were forced to do so, and how many had other intentions, it is unknown.

Anyway, Zhu Gaoxu's original purpose was to exile all these clan kings and let them harm the barbarians overseas.

Firstly, it can solve the financial pressure brought by the increasing population of the clan princes to the imperial court; secondly, it can prevent them from relying on their own power to prey on the common people, causing harm to one party; thirdly, letting them go out to fight on the battlefield can also be regarded as opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty...

Although this will also leave hidden dangers in the future, if in time a great overlord appears among the overseas vassals, or if the central royal family encounters a rubbish emperor like Zhu Tumu, a civil war will most likely break out in the Ming Dynasty!

But, again, no matter whether they fight life or death, as long as they are unanimous in dealing with the outside world!

Even if the pot of meat from the Middle Earth and the bowl of soup from the Sifang Yi Kingdom are smashed, they must all rot in the pot!

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu drew three circles on the "Kanyu Map of All Nations".

"This is the East China Sea. There are three kingdoms of Jilongshan, Ryukyu and Japan. Zheng He is leading the main force of the navy to conquer. Who is willing to go and take charge of the overall situation?"

"Prince Ning's Mansion is willing to go!"

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, King Ning Zhu Quan replied loudly.

The Japanese country, this is the place that Zhu Quan likes!

After all, the Japanese country is not far from the Middle Earth. He can definitely make it a small Middle Earth, sealing the territory and dominating one side!

Even if time passes, if our descendants live up to their expectations, it is not impossible to counterattack China and take back the Ning Fan world!

"Prince An's Mansion is willing to go!"

"Prince Shen's Mansion is willing to go!"

"Prince Han's Mansion is willing to go!"

Prince Shen Zhu Mo, Prince An Zhu Ying, and Prince Han Zhu Chonghuo all followed up with words. Facing the slightly questioning gaze of Prince Ning Zhu Quan, the three of them immediately laughed twice to show their respect.

The status of the three kings was relatively awkward. The princes of the first generation were all the youngest sons of Taizu. During the Hongwu period, they were not allowed to enfeoff. They were discriminated against during the Jianwen period. Only during the Yongle period were they allowed to be granted vassal status.

Let's talk about feelings. They are nothing compared to the feelings of those previous feudal lords.

So the three kings had no choice but to play clever tricks and keep a close eye on Prince Ning and Zhu Quan.

After all, Zhu Quan was the most powerful King of Anti-Barbarians at that time, and he was famous for his strategy and martial arts. Moreover, there were only three small countries in the East China Sea. No matter how hard they fought, they would not be able to fight for more than a few years before they could continue to live a stable life.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the three kings in surprise, but didn't say much.

King Ning and Zhu Quan must have gone to Japan, so it would be just right for these three kings to go to the Three Kingdoms of Ryukyu. As for Jilong Mountain, because it is the future naval base, a reliable clan leader must be selected.

Zhu Gaoxu looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Chu King Zhu Zhen.

This guy was talented and wise, well-equipped in both literature, Taoism and military strategy, and he had a dignified nature. During the Hongwu period, he also led troops to conquer the north and south, and made great military achievements.

"King Chu, are you willing to conquer Jilong Mountain?"

Zhu Zhen was stunned when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

In fact, his stated goal is the old port of Nanyang, Manchuria and other countries.

The military vision of Chu King Zhu Zhen was no less than that of Ning King Zhu Quan. He saw the importance of Sumatra at a glance.

Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han, obviously wanted to usher in the Age of Navigation. In the future, the main battlefield between the major empires would also be the navy and the ocean!

By controlling Sumatra Island, a key place on the sea, the Chu Palace's position in the Ming Dynasty will be very important. At least it can establish checkpoints and collect taxes casually, which will be enough for his descendants to live and clothe themselves for generations to come.

But since the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to invite him to sit in Jilong Mountain, that couldn't dampen his interest.

The geographical location of Jilong Mountain is equally important. Zhu Zhen guessed that Prince Han was planning to build Jilong Mountain into a naval base, so he invited himself to sit there.

If this is true, then the power of the Chu Palace will be even more powerful in the future than if it were based on Sumatra Island!

"Since nephew Gao Xu invites you, Prince Chu's Mansion will just go to Jilong Mountain!"

"As long as there are still men alive in my palace, Prince Chu, Jilong Mountain will become the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue was instantly ignited.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with a smile and had a lot of affection for Prince Chu.

Then he pointed to the second circle, which turned out to be Indochina.

"This is the Indochina Peninsula. The situation there is quite complicated now. There are countries like Laos, Myanmar, and Mu State, as well as Siam, Chenla, and other countries. Who is willing to go and expand territory for our Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as these words came out, the kings fell silent.

After all, the Indochina Peninsula has a hot and humid climate, is densely populated with poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and the miasma is rampant, so they are really not happy about it.

"I am willing to go to the Prince's Palace!"

Seeing that the atmosphere fell into silence, Zhu Gui said carelessly.

"I have long heard that there are many elephants in Siam and Myanmar, and I am going to catch a few and ride them for fun!"

"Charging on an elephant, how powerful and domineering it would be!"

Hearing his vulgar words, all the vassal kings present, including Han King Zhu Gaoxu, burst into laughter.

This Zhu Gui is really a living treasure.

But I have to admit that he deliberately enlivened the atmosphere and the effect was obvious.

"The Prince of Shu is willing to go!"

"Prince Su's Mansion is willing to go!"

"The Prince of Liao's Palace is willing to go!"

"Prince Qing's Mansion is willing to go!"

"Prince Min's Mansion is willing to go!"

In an instant, five princes spoke out and prepared to conquer the Indo-China Peninsula.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little puzzled when he heard this and didn't quite understand the situation in front of him.

It is understandable that Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, went away. After all, he was a cultural man and could only follow his half-brother Zhu Gui.

It was acceptable for Min King Zhu Chu to go. After all, his original fiefdom was in Yunnan, so he could move to a place closer to him.

But what does it mean that these four great rebel kings, including Dai Wang Zhu Gui, went to conquer the Yunnan Peninsula together?

Damn it, is it possible that because horse racing is not allowed in Nanyang, you go to Indochina to have fun?

Seeing that there were still people raising their hands, Zhu Gaoxu immediately called a halt and confirmed that the six kings would go to harm the Indo-China Peninsula.

You guys are still raising your hands, why do you all want to ride an elephant and charge forward to penetrate the Indochina Peninsula?

Zhu Gaoxu paid special attention to the fact that all the kings who fought against the barbarians during the Hongwu period had already made their choices.

King Qin and King Jin died early, and now the second and third generations inherit the title, let alone the two blind rice bugs.

King Zhu Shu of Qi was deposed, King Zhu Su of Gu was killed, and King Zhu Di of Yan became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The three lines of King Han, King Shen, and King An went to the Ryukyu Kingdom, the line of King Ning went to the Kingdom of Japan, and the four lines of King Dai, King Su, King Liao, and King Qing went to the Indochina Peninsula.

At this point, the former barbarian kings all have their final destination.

When the matter developed to this point, the remaining vassal kings could be easily solved. Before they could speak, Zhu Gaoxu directly sent them all to Nanyang to expand territory.

King Zhou Zhu and other princes wanted to give themselves two big mouths at this moment. Because of their hesitation and hesitation, all the East China Sea and Zhongnan were robbed. Now they can only lead their descendants to conquer Nanyang in despair!

Nanyang, after all, is thousands of miles away. After leaving, who knows whether we can return to China?

Thinking about it, the kings who were forcibly sent to Nanyang choked up and almost shed tears.

Those bastards like Zhu Quan and Zhu Gui were so quick to attack!

Zhu Gaoxu looked at them and felt relieved.

"Everyone, since you have made your decision, don't hesitate, prepare your troops for war immediately, and go to your respective destinations!"

"Starting from tomorrow, the imperial court will give all kings three guards. Each guard will be equipped with two guards, totaling more than 30,000 people. They will have soldiers, armor, and equipment to help you go to foreign countries to expand your territory!"

As soon as these words came out, the kings were overjoyed!

The three guards are back!

And the number of people has doubled several times!

In the past, their three bodyguards could only have a maximum of 19,000 people, and excluding the honor guard, etc., the actual number of combatable soldiers was only 5,000. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.net

Now there are six guards, which is 30,000 Ming soldiers!

With these 30,000 soldiers at hand, what territory cannot be conquered?

For a time, all the kings were overjoyed and all were smiling.

However, Zhu Gaoxu's next words were tantamount to pouring cold water on them.

"You have chosen the site yourself."

"I have prepared all the soldiers for you, too!"

"The rules are clearly stated in the new vassal system!"

"Starting from tomorrow, the imperial court will mobilize guardsmen to cooperate with you in your expedition to foreign countries!"

"If you can't defeat him, or if you have any rebellious intentions, don't forget his fate!"

Zhu Gaoxu clicked on the dead head of Valley King Zhu Su, which was full of threats.

The kings were shocked again when they saw this, and nodded subconsciously, not daring to take it lightly.

The imperial court spent so much money and even gave me 30,000 soldiers. If I couldn't win even a piece of territory, not to mention that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, would kill me, and I would have no shame to go see Emperor Taizu Gao!

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Zhu Gaoxu did not continue to threaten, but instead showed a kind smile.

"Everyone! I am the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, the son of the old Zhu family!"

"The people of future generations will prove how correct your choice today was! They will also remember the outstanding achievements you have made for our Ming Dynasty and our China!"

"I, Zhu Gaoxu, am also the emperor Taizu and the emperor's legitimate son. I should set an example for you all! Tomorrow I will lead my army to the northern border. I will not return the court until Mongolia is broken!"

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. Only in this way can there be... a great Ming Dynasty and a prosperous China!"

Everyone present: "!!!"

The emperor guards the country!

The king dies in Sheji!

Great Ming Dynasty!

The prosperous China!
