LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 121
No one expected that after Zhu Houzhao counterattacked the Qing Dynasty and suppressed the Ning Wang Rebellion, he would actually attack Wala at this time.
You know, at this time, Liao and Jin were invading the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Mongols were also attacking the Southern Song Dynasty.
According to some people's initial expectations, it would probably take a long time for the Ming Dynasty to suppress the Ning Wang Rebellion and the Qing Dynasty's invasion to the south, but no one expected that Ning Wang and the Qing army were so useless that they were beaten so badly.
However, the Ming army seems to be stronger than imagined!
But why did Zhu Houzhao attack Wala at this time instead of aiding Liao and Jin?
Isn't he afraid that the two Song dynasties will be destroyed and the Ming Dynasty will be surrounded by foreign races?
………………………………
In the Xianyang Palace of Qin, Ying Zheng looked at the sand table in front of him and said:"Sure enough, Ming is the biggest rival of my Great Qin. However, the distance between Ming and my Great Qin is too far, so we can adopt the method of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby countries.""
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yu, Liu Yu, Qi Jiguang and even Cao Cao are all top generals of the time. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Emperor Minghuang are probably not inferior to the Golden Fire Cavalry of the Qin Dynasty."Wei Liao reminded Ying Zheng
"Well, I know!" Ying Zheng's eyes flickered:"But we are not enemies yet, and it may be difficult to become enemies. He has the Qing Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty to deal with, and I also have the Yuan and Tang Dynasties to face. We are too far away.
But this time, the performance of the Southern Song Dynasty was unexpected!"
"Yue Fei can be considered a top general in the world."At this time, Bai Qi, who had been silent all along, also spoke up and said,"It's a pity that he was in the Southern Song Dynasty."
"Zhao Gao, is it possible to bring Yue Fei to my Great Qin?" Ying Zheng did not think Bai Qi was talking nonsense. The general who was valued and mentioned by Bai Qi was obviously a person that Bai Qi valued very much.
"Your Majesty, this matter requires planning, and I heard that Yue Fei is a very loyal general."Zhao Gao thought for a moment and said
"Loyal? That's interesting, try to do it.
If he refuses, wait until the Southern Song Dynasty is destroyed by the Mongols, and then rescue him. My Great Qin can give him a chance for revenge."Ying Zheng's eyes flickered. It was obvious that Yue Fei's existence reminded him of another person, Li Mu!
A man he had been longing for!
Then, Ying Zheng looked in the direction of the Ming Dynasty:"Zhu Houzhao is such a courageous kid, I wish he was my son."
Ying Zheng's words made everyone silent. Indeed, Zhu Houzhao was so outstanding at a young age, much better than Ying Zheng's sons.
……………………………………………
The military capability of the Ming Dynasty was beyond everyone's expectations, but Zhu Houzhao himself was both praised and criticized.
Some people think that Zhu Houzhao is a monarch comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, while others think that Zhu Houzhao is too cruel.
Especially during this period, Hulong Villa, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Xichang, and even the army were dispatched to confiscate the homes of aristocratic families and officials.
Whether in the south or the north, there were many people killed.
During this period, it was not that no one wanted to rebel, but they had just started their army, and the court's army arrived soon, and they were almost wiped out without suspense.
Countless money and grain entered the treasury, and a large amount of land was designated as imperial farms. Zhu Houzhao could clearly feel that the luck value he could obtain every day was steadily increasing.
On this day, Zhu Houzhao arranged for Huang Yaoshi and Su Xinghe to come to the imperial study, and also called Zhang Juzheng, Wang Shouren, Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang over.
"This time I called you here to rebuild Songjiang!
And some pilot reforms. d Zhu Houzhao glanced at everyone and then slowly said,"How is the production of Kongming glass going?"
"Your Majesty, the glass has been made. At present, it can be used to make glass cups and some simple glass products, which can be sold at any time!"Zhuge Liang did not know where he took out two glass cups and a rabbit-shaped glass product and placed them in front of Zhu Houzhao.
When others saw what Zhuge Liang took out, their eyes lit up. (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Did you make this colored glass cup?" Huang Yaoshi was completely stunned. If this kind of cup existed in the Song Dynasty, it would definitely be worth a fortune!
"Yes, who could have imagined that such a glass cup could be made, and the materials and cost were very low.........."Zhuge Liang also said with a sigh
"Well, it's not bad." Zhu Houzhao looked at the glass cups and nodded slightly:"Although it is worse than I expected, it is enough.
Kong Ming, you go and make a batch of good ones. The envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty will be here soon. They are sending their daughter here. We can't just express our gratitude. Just send a set of glass cups.
By the way, let Zhao Ji advertise for us."
Even Zhu Houzhao has to use glass cups to send betrothal gifts. In the future, glass cups will become the favorite of many princes, nobles, and dignitaries.
But when other people heard Zhu Houzhao's words, they were speechless. This Zhu Houzhao is a bit of a rip-off!
Especially Huang Yaoshi, he felt that being Zhu Houzhao's father-in-law is easy to be ripped off. Thinking of Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi also sighed silently.
"This is the blueprint of the spinning machine. I plan to build Songjiang into a cloth production base for the Ming Dynasty and even the entire Shenwu Continent." Then, Zhu Houzhao took out another booklet and threw it to Zhuge Liang, saying,"When the time comes, please help Master Huang to build a factory in Songjiang with Kong Ming."
Huang Yaoshi also knew Zhu Houzhao's arrangement for him.���He did not refuse. If he failed to do it well, he would be infamous for eternity, but if he did it well, he would be famous for eternity.
Huang Yaoshi was confident in his ability and wanted to do something like this. 4.1"Your Majesty, what if the people make these spinning machines privately?" Zhuge Liang asked after careful consideration.
He felt that the manufacturing technology of these spinning machines did not seem to be particularly difficult.
"Just make sure no one makes it for three years! As for later, we can open it up slowly."After thinking for a while, Zhu Houzhao continued to add:"As long as we make enough cloth, the price will go down.
If at that time, there are still people who want to copy our spinning machines, then let them copy them, and we can also lower the price of cloth.
Although it will affect the lives of some people in my Ming Dynasty, I believe that this can be solved. Just make sure that the glass technology does not spread out."
