Chapter 601 Zheng He
In another timeline, during the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty, the generals' eyes darted around, while Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, thinking, "Is this rebellious son just trying to make me look like an unscrupulous leader?"
Zhu Di, an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire: ...
"Getting back to the main point, Li Jinglong not only ran away, but also didn't notify the other squads. As a result, the Southern Army besieging Beiping City was forgotten by their commander."
"These soldiers held their ground even after their commander retreated. Unfortunately, they ran into Zhu Di, who defeated them and then seized a large amount of weapons and supplies."
"In this freezing winter, I think the Prince of Yan must have felt Li Jinglong's enthusiasm. He can be called the transport captain, delivering supplies and troops wave after wave!"
"However, the Southern army lost over 100,000 men in this battle. How long will it take to recover such a massive number of soldiers?"
"However, in the first year of the Jianwen reign, there were still three years left until the end of the Jingnan Campaign. How many more people would have to sacrifice to bring it to a close?!"
Lin Ke sighed repeatedly. "They often have tens of thousands of people involved. Don't they, as leaders, feel any pain?"
Meanwhile, in other times and spaces, when people heard about the battle and how many soldiers and generals had been sacrificed, they sighed repeatedly. If their children were to go to such a place where death was a near certainty, they would worry about them every day.
"More than 100,000 people, so many people, all good kids... If only there wasn't this uncle-nephew rivalry!"
"How could that be? If it were us farmers, and the old man passed away leaving a large inheritance for his grandson, with more than twenty uncles watching over him, how could we not fight over it?"
The person next to him choked. That's true, but can farmers compare to the emperor? If that's the case, then we have to blame old Zhu for passing it on to his grandson!
Meanwhile, in the twenty-fourth year of the Hongwu reign, Zhu Yuanzhang was unaware that someone was blaming him instead of his rebellious son and grandson. If he had known, he would have exclaimed: "You son of a bitch, you really are a genius!"
At this moment, he was both furious and heartbroken. This rebellious grandson had hundreds of thousands of men at every turn. He couldn't tolerate it. So, the rebellious son Zhu Di and the rebellious grandson Zhu Yunwen were given a good beating!
"If you don't raise the soldiers yourself, you won't care about them!"
"You bastard! We told you to believe in civil officials, but your father didn't inherit a single thing... &?@..."
Zhu Yunwen: ??? Grandpa, love me one more time!
Zhu Di, who had long since developed a physique thanks to his father's "love," cried out in protest, declaring righteously, "Father! We understand your feelings; we also have a spendthrift grandson!"
"Otherwise, I'll beat him up for you! We're both grandfathers who were hurt by our unfilial grandsons!"
"Nephew! My grandson isn't here, so look at you, you're taking on so much work!"
Zhu Yunwen: I…@&…damn…?!
Other princes: How come I never noticed before that the fourth prince/fourth brother is so annoying!
Li Jinglong: The Prince of Yan is such a good person, drawing fire from him!
……
The live broadcast continues.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Zhu Di had a brother named Ma He under his command at this time."
"Due to his outstanding performance, he was bestowed the surname Zheng by Zhu Di. He was the eunuch Zheng He who later made seven voyages to the Western Ocean. We call him a navigator and diplomat."
"This maritime voyage was of profound significance, venturing into the western Pacific and Indian Oceans and visiting more than thirty countries. The History of Ming Dynasty, in the Annals of Emperor Chengzu, states: '...His majesty and virtue extended far and wide, and all directions submitted to him...'"
"However, after Emperor Renzong Zhu Pangpang came to power, he felt that the project was too expensive, so he stopped it. After all, sea voyages are expensive. Of course, there are also rumors that the project was initiated by Emperor Yongle in order to find his nephew Jianwen."
"Sigh, Uncle just wanted to visit his nephew, but who knew that his fourth uncle, who brought a bunch of friends, would come to his nephew's office and then the nephew would disappear. How is he supposed to face Grandpa Zhu Baba now?!"
The Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty: o_O???…
