The idea of ​​enriching the harem has been around for a long time. Not only did the officials agree, but the people also gradually became popular. The reason is very simple. How can there be no pure Han women as concubines, and how can there be no pure Han heirs as successors?

Especially after Zhu Yongxing ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the ministers were even more enthusiastic. There are so many beauties in Jiangnan and Huxiang. Is it possible that there are so many beauties in Jiangnan and Huxiang that you can’t choose one that the Holy See can look upon? This is related to the stability of the country in the future, which is no small matter. Zhu Yongxing’s tricks are in reality

It's not of much use. Because the status was different before, now, as long as this trick doesn't cause any trouble for the rear, the officials are willing to turn a blind eye.

As for the order of giving birth to children, the ministers are not worried. There is a difference between legitimate concubines. Even if Mengzhu and Longer give birth to the prince first, as long as they do not interfere with the throne, the eldest son and the crown prince are still different.

Zhu Yongxing also felt the powerful power of tradition. This was no longer a matter of his personal preference, but a major matter that related to people's hearts and the country. Like Yicheng, Zheng Zhaoren, etc., who were all his confidants, they also held this view.

I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to insist on going your own way.

Zhu Yongxing's repeated delays, on the other hand, also gave many people the hope and fantasy of climbing the dragon and the phoenix and reaching the sky in one fell swoop. They increased the number of people in the palace and asked people to talk about the project. They hoped to seize every opportunity, hoping to make Zhu Yongxing look like a dragon.

Yiyue. Even the maids in the palace may hope that Wanzai can have sexual intercourse for a while, so that they can qualify as concubines.

Now, Zhang Chuantian saw Zhu Yongxing's demeanor, and also learned that the little princess was chatting happily with her granddaughter, and asked her granddaughter to get some exotic animals. This was undoubtedly an opportunity to get close to the royal family and the emperor, let alone proboscis monkeys and squirrels.

Even rhinos and elephants can be transported from Borneo with the financial resources of the Zhang family.

"My good granddaughter, you and grandpa can stay in Nanjing City or buy a house nearby!" Zhang Chuantian knew that he couldn't say what he meant right away, as this seemed to be a betrayal, so he said tactfully

: "Grandpa is old. Your father and uncles will take care of the overseas family business. You like it here too, don't you?"

If you can really please the royal family, even if Long Live looks down on your granddaughter, you can still look at the Zhang family in a new light for the sake of the little princess, right? With a backer, the Zhang family's luck overseas can continue. Hmm. What if.

If he can really rise to the top in one step, then his Zhang family will be the leaders of various clans in Nanyang. Who dares to challenge the old patriarch?

"Okay!" Zhang Shihua certainly doesn't like a foreign land, but the customs of her homeland make her linger over it. She is surrounded by compatriots with similar looks and the same language, "But grandpa, aren't you worried about the war?"

"Haha, I was worried before, but now I am not so afraid." Zhang Chuantian exhaled a long breath and pointed outside the teahouse, "You have also seen it. This is already a peaceful scene. Long live the rise from the collapse of the building,

Is it possible to lose half of the country now? This fundraiser is for the Northern Expedition. Haven’t you heard? The Ming army has landed in Shandong. This is to regain the capital and attack Huanglong!"

Zhang Shihua tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Banzai seems to have an aggressive attitude. Well, the Northern Expedition has not yet achieved its full success, but it has to build up armed forces overseas. It shows that it still has some remaining strength."

"Have a long-term vision and a mind for the world." Zhang Chuantian sincerely praised: "He is also wise and kind. This is the blessing of overseas Chinese and the fortune of China's billions of people."

"The Holy Lord loves that little princess very much!" Zhang Shihua was still thinking about Rou'er's entrustment, but he didn't know whether his grandfather was willing to devote human and financial resources. He smiled and tried: "The proboscis monkey must be called the elephant-nosed monkey.

Very cute.”

"Then it will be shipped from Borneo." Zhang Chuantian waved his hand grandly and said with a smile: "My good granddaughter will give her all the monkeys, rhinos, and squirrels. Well, give it to her several times, don't give it all at once.

Delivered.”

Zhang Shihua curled his lips and said, "Grandpa, what are you planning to do? If you please the little princess, how can she, a child, speak kindly to you in front of Long Live?"

"Children are the most sincere and grateful." Zhang Chuantian shook his head gently and said, "With Wansai's love for her, when she is happy, the imperial concubine is happy, and the emperor also likes her."

"Grandpa has really thought far ahead." Zhang Shihua thought for a while and said with a naughty smile: "I want to go to Hangzhou, and in the future there will be Suzhou, and..."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Zhang Chuantian said with a helpless smile: "Girl, you are not afraid of wearing out my grandfather's old bones."

"Haha." Zhang Shihua got what he wanted, shaking his grandfather's arm like a baby and smiling happily.

………….

Negotiating peace! For those who want to live in peace, it is a dream. During the Hongguang Dynasty, he was keen on "uniting the captives to quell the invaders" and formally sent a mission to negotiate with the Qing side, that is, negotiating peace.

Negotiations must have a clear plan, but the actual situation is not the case. Zuo Maodi felt that the tasks assigned to him by the court were unclear, and Shangshu asked for clarification. However, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and other important officials in the court were eager to "join the captives" and could not listen.

For his opinion. Under the pressure of Shi Kefa and others, Zuo Maodi embarked on the northward journey against his will. With a bleak future, all he could do was not to succumb to the Qing government and sacrifice his life to preserve his nation.

It’s just integrity.

The result of the Northern Envoy can be imagined. The Northern Envoy sent by Hongguang Jun and his ministers did not have the corresponding force to back them up, so it was just a self-humiliation. It can be said that they "lost both their wives and their troops."

This time the Qing court sent an envoy to negotiate peace. Although Zhu Yongxing ignored it, he took the opportunity to use a trick. He sent Zhang Weihan, who had no official status, as his own peace envoy to argue with the Qing court envoy in Zhenjiang. Secretly, he used

With the money and food raised, we are actively preparing for a major counterattack.

The first was to secretly increase troops to Shandong. The second division of the Suppression Shuo Army boarded the ship and set off. The third division will also go to Shandong in half a month, thus completely changing the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves in Shandong. At the same time, money and grain were constantly transported to Shandong.

The teacher expects that all seats will be filled in two months.

Secondly, a large amount of money was paid to the Ministry of National Security for infiltration and development in the Northland, and bribery and inducement. The fortress was easiest to break from the inside. With the people in the Northland unstable, intelligence work could be carried out more smoothly than before.

A large amount of money is also used in military industry, mainly the production of artillery and rockets. For Zhu Yongxing, the goal he hopes to achieve is to make the Ming army meet or approach the standards of a modern army. At least in terms of weapons and equipment, it must have modern

level of the army.
