Returning to the Ming Dynasty to be a foolish monarch In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn’t know what the situation would be, nor did he know if anyone would attack him.

Although there were many messy conspiracy theories about the Ming Dynasty in later generations, no one knows what history is.

This time I took a boat to Jiangnan. I wonder if I would fall into the water?

But some things have to be done. If you don’t go this time, the things in Jiangnan will eventually become superficial. No matter who you send it, it will not make much sense.

Just like the Donglin Academy destroyed by Wei Zhongxian, who arrested the Donglin Party, the result will not change.

So at such a critical moment, Zhu Youxiao went to this time to decide the world in one battle. As long as he won this time, the entire Ming Dynasty would turn on a different path.

This time, you must go there. Even if there is danger, Zhu Youxiao will do it.

However, Zhu Youxiao also believed that if he was prepared, no one could do anything to him.

After walking a few steps forward, Zhu Youxiao saw Qi Yuangong standing at the door. This young man is now much more mature.

After Qi Jin passed away a few years ago, Qi Yuanfu took over his father's position and continued to lead the royal army yamen.

Qi Yuangong has been guarding Zhu Youxiao.

After several expansions, Zhu Youxiao's personal guards had reached 3,000, which was also the confidence that he dared to go south this time.

Even if they really fall into the water, they can save themselves.

"Your Majesty." After Qi Yuangong saw Zhu Youxiao, he hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Qi Yuangong is not young, and his face is full of beard, but he is still burly and strong.

Zhu Youchao nodded and said, "Did your eldest son be born two days ago?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Yuangong quickly agreed.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao took off a jade pendant from his body and threw it to Qi Yuangong and said, "Take it back and play for him, and he will be a promising person in the future."

Qi Yuangong was immediately excited, and quickly reached out to catch the jade pendant, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Over the years, the emperor has trusted their Qi family very much, whether it is his father or their brothers.

Now that my son is born, the emperor gives me a reward or the jade pendant he took off from him, this is extraordinary!

This is what the emperor likes. This is a love story. In the future, after his son enters the official career, he will inevitably be looked up to by others.

Zhu Youxiao walked over, reached out and patted Qi Yuangong on the shoulder and said, "I know your ability, and I understand that if you are sent to the battlefield, you will definitely be able to make great achievements. Now that you are following me, you will have rubbed all your skills."

"It is my blessing to be able to protect Your Majesty's safety." Qi Yuangong said hurriedly.

"Okay, get up and talk." Zhu Youxiao patted his shoulder and said, "This time I go south, maybe there will be some danger. So bring all your people with me and stretch out your hand if you have any problems. I have always remembered your credit, don't worry, I won't treat you badly, do it well."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Qi Yuangong quickly agreed.

This is not Qi Yuangong's lies, but his thoughts. If you don't look at the rewards in the future, you can only see how much Your Majesty values ​​their family now. Such kindness of knowing and meeting is enough for him to work hard.

"Prepare well, we will set out in the next two days." Zhu Youxiao patted Qi Yuangong's shoulder and walked inside with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Youxiao also needs to clean up, and it is time to leave here and embark on this journey.

On the ninth day of the fourth month, it is advisable to travel.

Today is a good day.

Zhu Youxiao was in a very good mood.

After everything was ready, he could finally leave the capital and go to Nanjing.

A boat was parked at Tongzhou Wharf, and Zhu Youxiao had already boarded the boat.

There were many ships guarding each other, and many ships were pulling the ministers who followed him.

And on both sides of the canal, two teams were also moving forward.

They had dispersed at this time, constantly exploring the surrounding situation, and also exploring forward to see if someone was planning to be a illegitimate person on the shore.

Such travel is actually quite expensive, and in many cases, ministers will not agree. If the money from the treasury is used, it is likely to cause the treasury to be empty.

This is because Zhu Youxiao has money and uses his own money, so the ministers do not have that fierce opposition.

In fact, it was useless for the ministers and the others to oppose it, and Zhu Youxiao was determined to go.

After the ship left Tongzhou, it went south and never stopped on the roadside. Wuyou Chinese website

Zhu Youxiao’s first stop was in Jining.

The last time I arrived in Shandong, Zhu Youxiao got off the boat in Jining. This time, he still got off the boat in Jining.

When the local officials in Jining heard this, they were so scared that they rushed over to greet them. Compared to the last time, they were even more frightened this time.

They knew very well what His Majesty did in Shandong last time. Even though they didn’t know about it at that time, they understood it very clearly after arriving in Shandong.

If it weren't for the things His Majesty did in Shandong, they wouldn't have reached their current position at all. This time, they heard that His Majesty was coming again, and these people had no confidence in their hearts.

Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to pay attention to them. He has not checked them once or twice over the years, so there is basically no major problem.

Zhu Youxiao was not here for them this time, but this time he mainly wanted to go to Qingdao.

Of course, there was no Qingdao in this era, only Laizhou. There was also Dengzhou next to it.

In the original era, the imperial court appointed the governor of Denglai here. Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, trained the navy here, and Denglai became an important defense center.

Qingdao is actually a fortress in Laizhou.

During the Yuan Dynasty, in order to facilitate maritime transportation of grain, the Jiaolai Canal, which runs across the Shandong Peninsula, was dug.

When Zhu Youxiao chose to build the navy, the first point was chosen here.

First of all, this is the north of the Ming Dynasty. Build the navy here to protect the Bohai Bay. Whether it is north or south, you can reach all your hands, especially reaching North Korea and Japan.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty is very complicated now, and it is basically impossible to have a long-distance ocean. Without a chart or a long-distance ocean capability, you can only wander around the near sea. Then, both North Korea and Japan are places that the Ming Dynasty needs to take. Therefore, this circle requires a powerful navy to garrison.

Zhu Youxiao naturally chose this place, and this time he wanted to go there to see it.

Zhu Youxiao has spent a lot of money on it in recent years. Now that is the time, I am really unwilling to go and see it. Who knows where they spent his money and what is the boat now? I wonder if it can be taken out to fight a war now?

Moreover, it will be a problem to equip cannons in the future. Now with picric bombs and new-style cannons, Zhu Youxiao naturally doesn't want to install the old red-clothed cannon on the ship.

The bronze cannon is heavy, has a limited range and a slow firing rate, which is too useless. If it were replaced with a cannon equipped with metal shells, it would definitely be different.

However, whether the wooden boats can withstand the recoil of the giant cannon is a question, and this needs to be studied carefully. However, this does not delay Zhu Youxiao going to see it, and not to mention that if he wants to cause trouble in the south this time, he might be able to use them.

So Zhu Youxiao stayed in Jining for a day and drove his men to Laizhou the next day.

This time, it was naturally not by water, but by land.

Zhu Youxiao was sitting in the carriage, with guards on both sides.

The group rushed to Laizhou in a mighty manner.

Walking on the main road, Zhu Youxiao picked up the curtains of the car from time to time to look out.

At first glance, you can see the vast fields. Many people are busy in the fields. There are still some children running on the road, placing paper hoist. However, when they saw Zhu Youxiao's convoy, they stopped all their movements and hid from afar and didn't dare to lean over.

It can be seen that they are still very afraid.

Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood. After all, this kind of spring plowing scene is not common. Moreover, the green inside the fields may mean a good harvest.

This also made Zhu Youxiao think of another thing, that is, the matter about black wheat, which may be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The Ming Dynasty's wheat has a very poor cold resistance. Looking back, I have to ask someone to go to Russia to get some black wheat with strong cold resistance.

In addition, there are corn with a relatively short growth period, which can normally be harvested in more than four months. Otherwise, the future will be difficult.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the temperature dropped sharply, and it was really a big deal. This is also why Zhu Youxiao wanted to go to Jiangnan.

He wants to take advantage of this short peace to get all these things done, rather than wait until a natural disaster breaks out, and then he will be afraid.

There was nothing to say along the way, and Zhu Youxiao came to Laizhou on that day.

Because the war was not as good as in the original history, the situation in Liaodong was not chaotic, and there was no need to establish a governor. So the prefect of Laizhou came to welcome Zhu Youxiao.

This is a civil servant in his fifties. It can be seen that it is basically over by this time.

At his age, it is basically impossible to go one step further. And at this age, there is basically no one in the court.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chengzong.

This person was arranged by Sun Chengzong, and it seems that he was named Chen Qicheng. It is said that he was on the line of Sun Chengzong and had certain military capabilities. As for the specificity, Zhu Youxiao is not very clear.

At this time, Chen Qicheng was very nervous and interpreted the servitude and fear to the fullest, for fear that he would be killed by His Majesty. When he saw Zhu Youxiao, he was so cautious and even a little scared.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chengzong who was by his side, and his eyes showed a look of inquisitiveness.
