Chapter 589 The country name is Daming, the era name is Hongwu
The Ming Dynasty! This new dynasty is the dream that everyone pursues, and they have been struggling for several years. Haha
Three days later, Chen Feng arrived in Yingtian.
"Brother Feng, this time Mrs. Lan is happy to have a noble son. I should have gone to Yingtian to see my nephew in person, but the matter is busy. Mrs. Lan and her nephew are still safe, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
"Brother Zhu, thank you for your concern. I have also sent so many gifts, both of them are very good." Chen Feng said.
As soon as we meet, we greet other people's wives and children. If this is left in the future, it will definitely be considered as having bad intentions.
"Brother Feng, the last time Mr. Zhu proposed marriage to the son, I don't know what he thought about?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's confident look, Chen Feng said: "Brother Zhu, don't know what the new dynasty is planning?"
There is no need to hide or be afraid of one's head. Han Lin'er is already dead, Liu Futong is also dead, and Bianliang is also broken. The Song Dynasty is considered to be destroyed.
Now is the best time to establish a new imperial court!
In fact, the last time Chen Feng and Zhu Sheng said, he just sent a message to Zhu Yuanzhang. It’s time to this point, what are you waiting for? Wait until the remnants of Liu Futong in Jiangbei, and then launch a descendant of Han Liner?
Chen Feng said nakedly, and the few people next to him, Li Shanchang and Zhu Sheng, looked a little ashamed, and only Liu Ji was still in the face.
"Brother Feng, do you think it's time to ascend the throne now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
This old fox is now, so there is no need to worry about the Tartars coming to cause trouble. Zhu Yuanzhang is still so careful and still comes to ask himself? Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
In fact, we cannot blame these people. Due to Chen Feng's time travel, the historical process has been greatly advanced. In later generations, Zhu Yuanzhang only sat on the dragon throne more than ten years later. Now, with the help of Chen Feng, he quickly pacified Jiangnan, and most of the power of the Tartars was consumed.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang inevitably felt that his foundation was not stable and the time was not right.
"Brother Zhu, now that Jiangnan has been pacified, this is the general trend and the will of the people. The next step is to have a country where they can be loyal to it. This country is our Ming Dynasty, which can replace the Song Dynasty. If we don't ascend the throne now, will we have to wait until after burning Huan Timur's butt, and then we will snatch his chair and then be called emperor?" Chen Feng said.
The second half of the sentence made everyone present laugh.
That Han Liner and Chen Feng didn't mention it at all, it was already a thing of the past.
"Brother Feng's words are right!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said, "Next year is the fifteenth year of Zhizheng. I decided to proclaim myself here on the first day next year, with the country's name Daming and the year's name Hongwu!"
The name of this country was named Ming Dynasty, which was decided by Liu Ji at the beginning, and the year name was decided by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
He had to delay until next year, the first day of the first lunar month, to choose a good day? Chen Feng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang like that and knew that he had made up his mind, so he stopped talking. In fact, according to Chen Feng's intention, it would be best to be the emperor tomorrow.
"Brother Feng, this is also because the palace has not been built yet. I have to wait for two months to prepare for the founding ceremony in all aspects." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
You must not be as hasty as Chen Youliang. You must be prepared in all aspects. Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to this matter.
Building an imperial palace? Although Yingtian was once the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, after several wars, the imperial palace has long been in ruins. Now, it can be built within a few months, which is a great progress.
"Brother Zhu, building the palace is a big deal. I don't know if I can serve you." Chen Feng asked. In fact, Chen Feng was just polite.
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chen Feng say this, he was not polite: "Brother Feng, there is nothing at all. I just heard that the renovation of Yanyu Tower was very good, especially those transparent glass. It would be great if it could be installed on the main hall."
Suddenly, Chen Feng was speechless. Unexpectedly, this thrifty Zhu Yuanzhang was really attentive to the place where he worked every day and wanted to use his own decoration equipment.
If the hall was covered with glass, it would have to be at least five days of output. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not give him money. Even if he gave it, he would be embarrassed to ask for it.
However, if you say this, it is equivalent to advertising. Even the palace uses its own glass, floor tiles and other things. This Jiangnan big family must like it even more.
However, even if you don’t promote it, your own glass is in short supply now.
"What's wrong? Brother Feng?" Seeing that Chen Feng was not speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask, was it the same as what the outside world said, Brother Feng was a very stingy? He couldn't bear to give himself the glass?
"Brother Zhu, I was thinking about how to design this hall more grand and solemn. The floor must be laid with special floor tiles, and the walls must be inlaid with ceramic tiles. In the south, it is all glass. It requires a good idea." Chen Feng said: "Brother Zhu, if you rest assured, let me find someone to do this hall and ensure it is completed within one month."
At this time, Chen Feng could only put in some effort and simply took over the task.
"Brother Feng, it's so good!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Brother Feng is always so happy. This time I call Brother Feng, and there is another thing."
What I just said is secondary, and what will be discussed below is the main one.
"Brother Zhu, please speak." Chen Feng said.
"Now, most of the south has been pacified, and the north is the weakest time for the Tartars. So, I want to take this opportunity to send troops to the north and fight until Dadu, strip down Tuhuan Temur's pants and set fire to his butt." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Thinking of what Chen Feng said just now, Zhu Yuanzhang also said it a little more obscenely in the second half of the sentence.
"Brother Zhu, now is indeed the best time for our Northern Expedition. I wonder what Brother Zhu has to do?" Chen Feng asked.
The Northern Expedition is not a trivial matter. The territory in the north is larger than the areas controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Feng now.
The centipede worm dies without being stiff. Although the Tartars are far from comparable to those before, they are still very powerful.
Such large-scale military operations must be planned carefully.
"Senior Shanchang, come and tell Lord Chen." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Li Shanchang beside him.
"Yes," Li Shanchang responded: "Expel the barbarians, restore China, establish a pillar of Chen Ji, and save the people. Our northern expedition is to establish a country of our Han people."
For such a large military operation in the Northern Expedition, of course, it is necessary to have an adequate action program. The sixteen words that Li Shanchang said were thought out by these think tanks.
"Although the Tartars' strength has declined very quickly now, for the sake of safety, we decided to cut the wings first and then move the fundamental plan. First take Shandong, remove the barriers of the Tartars, then advance to Henan, cut off the wings of the Tartars, seize Tongguan, and occupy the threshold of the Tartars; then advance to Dadu. At this time, our forces are all around the Tartars, and the Tartars are in a state of lone support. It will be easy for us to take the lonely city of Dadu. Then, we can send troops westwards, Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Gansu to sweep down." Li Shanchang said.
After repeated arguments, everyone finally got a plan that they thought was absolutely perfect. This plan was perfect and was completely consistent with the future march route.
However, this plan was not completely suitable in Chen Feng's eyes, because this plan let go of Tuhuan Timur and Kuogu Timur, so that they were in trouble for the next decades.
After Shandong, Henan and Tongguan were taken down, Timur knew that the situation was not good. Before Xu Da went to attack Dadu, Timur ran away with his wife and children, leaving only an empty capital for Xu Da.
These people are the most outstanding people of this era. Unfortunately, they cannot look at problems and cannot break out of the vision of this era.
"Brother Feng, do you have any better opinions?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw from Chen Feng's expression that Chen Feng seemed to be very satisfied with this plan.
Chen Feng has never lost his battles, and he can win the greatest victory at the least cost every time. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is very confident in commanding the battles, he also hopes to hear Chen Feng's opinions.
"Brother Zhu." Chen Feng said: "Our plan is to take steps and take steady steps, which should be said to be the orthodox military strategy. However, if we take Tongguan, the Tartar Emperor will run from Dadu to Shangdu? Kuogut Timur's army is now in Shanxi, which is definitely the last target we want to fight. If we have not yet waited for us to start fighting, his army will run to the grassland? They are in the city, even if we have suffered greater casualties, they can eliminate them. However, if they run to the endless grassland, where is their hometown, it will be very difficult for us to annihilate them or even defeat them."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chen Feng's statement, he frowned.
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean is that the Tartars may give up their capital, leave the solid city, and run to the grassland?" asked Li Shanchang.
This idea is difficult for them to understand. After all, only with a strong city can we stick to it, give up the strong city, and run to the grassland to drink the northwest wind, which is almost unimaginable. In their plan, fighting Dadu will be a tough battle, and we must be prepared for casualties.
Chapter completed!
