Today's Ming Dynasty can be said to be booming, both economic and military power are growing continuously, but even so, Zhu Yicheng is more cautious. The changes in the Ming Dynasty are obvious, but there are also many crises, especially compared with the Qing court, the Ming Dynasty has not yet had the decisive force to unify the world. At this time, if the decision-making mistakes and the foundation is shaken, everything we have now will be shattered.

Zhu Yicheng was not Zhu Yuanzhang. He did not have Zhu Yuanzhang's talent and strategy. The generals and strategists in his hands were far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang's talent. Zhu Yicheng's advantage was his vision from this era, because he knew the direction of the future development of history, but this was not omnipotent. Zhu Yicheng walked step by step and knew more about the difficulties.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yicheng did not choose to take risks, but chose to take steady steps. His lack of ability can only rely on strength and was cautious. Just like this time, the Qing army and Zhu Jiancai fought in Henan, but the Ming Dynasty chose to attack Guangdong, which was to avoid some uncertain factors. Taking over Guangdong, the Ming Dynasty had all control over the southeast coast of China, and then relying on the advantages of the occupied area such as manpower, resources, and technology, and then gradually eroded the Qing court's territory. After the balance of power is fully grasped, the world will be pacified.

However, Dong Dashan proposed to attack the partial division to attack Anqing, taking this opportunity to extend his power from Anqing to Jiangbei and curb the Qing army's 6 main roads in Jiangxi. At the same time, in this way, the Qing army was unable to concentrate all its strength against Zhu Jiancai, Wang Zhiqing, Gao Jin and other troops also impressed Zhu Yicheng. Compared with Zhu Yicheng who chose a safe choice, generals such as Dong Dashan were more aggressive. Zhu Yicheng did not want to suppress them in this regard. After all, being aggressive as a military general is a good thing, so after careful consideration, Zhu Yicheng still agreed to Dong Dashan's suggestion that while launching the Guangdong Battle, the 6 Ming army's 6 army attacked westward at the same time and took Anqing.

After the meeting, Zhu Yicheng returned to the harem and went straight to Li Juaner. As time went by, Li Juaner's belly gradually grew bigger, and in a few months it would be the day when his child was born. A new life, especially the life that continued with his blood, was about to be born, which made Zhu Yicheng feel excited and expectant. No matter how busy he was these days, he would take time to see Li Juaner and talk with her.

"Emperor!" When he arrived at the palace gate, he happened to meet a little palace maid. When the little palace maid saw that it was Zhu Yicheng, he hurriedly bowed.

"The Queen is inside?"

"Go back to the emperor, the empress feels a little tired and just fell asleep." The little palace maid lowered her head and replied.

"I understand, go busy, I'll go in by myself." Zhu Yicheng nodded, stepped into the door, and then walked into the bedroom with light steps.

Now it is approaching early summer, and the weather is comfortable, neither warm nor hot, and the bedroom is quiet. When he saw Zhu Yicheng coming, another little palace maid guarding outside Li Juaner's door was about to get up and salute, but he stopped him. Zhu Yicheng waved his hand and asked her to continue doing her own thing. He gently lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. He saw Li Juaner lying on the collapse, covered with a thin quilt, and holding a book in his hand, but the book was held in vain. Seeing that she was so tired of reading, she should have fallen asleep.

Looking at Li Juan'er who was sleeping soundly, Zhu Yicheng's eyes were full of softness. He sat down gently on the side without disturbing her. He picked up the booklet from the collapse on the side and looked at it. On the first day of the Chu Dynasty, Zhu Yicheng laughed silently because the booklet was a list of concubines for him.

A few months ago, Li Juan'er had already started choosing a concubine for herself. In her opinion, wealthy families usually pay attention to having three wives and four concubines, let alone the royal family? Now that Zhu Yicheng is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, she is the only queen in the harem, which is really unreasonable. Zhu Yicheng's rich children also represents the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, Li Juan'er doesn't want to be called jealousy and favor, so she is extremely concerned about this matter.

However, Li Juan'er mentioned it several times and was shirked by Zhu Yicheng for various reasons. However, as time went by, Zhu Yicheng also realized that Li Juan'er had always been concerned about this matter. Even because of pregnancy, it affected her mood. The pregnant woman was in a bad mood. This was a big deal, so Zhu Yicheng was also in a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Just as Zhu Yicheng was thinking about this matter in a daze, Li Juan'er woke up. Seeing Zhu Yicheng sitting aside, she quickly tried to sit up from the collapse.

"I'm so big, I'm lying down." Zhu Yicheng quickly stopped him and shouted outside. The little palace maid who was lying outside the door hurried in when she heard the movement, stepped forward to help Li Juaner sit up on the collapse, and then cleaned up.

"Look at me, I'm really rude to me." Because I had just slept, Li Juan'er's appearance was a little messy, and she said embarrassedly.

Zhu Yicheng disagreed: "Why do you have to be so irritated? Besides, now that you are pregnant with a dragon seed, it is natural to sleep. Only after resting can the children in this belly grow faster. By the way, how do you feel today? Everything is fine?"

"He turned over in his stomach today and kicked me. He was very strong. It seems that he would be a heroic child like the emperor after birth." Li Juan'er said while touching his stomach.

Zhu Yicheng laughed loudly, watching the child grow up day by day in Li Juan'er's belly, and then thinking that he would be born in a few months, then be able to speak, walk, and then grow slowly, Zhu Yicheng was very happy and even left all his worries behind.

Sitting beside Li Juan'er, Zhu Yicheng said something to her, nothing more than ordinary things and children, just like ordinary couples. However, both of them are very good in nature, and at this time they think that these are the most important things. After talking and laughing for a while, Li Juan'er mentioned the matter of choosing a concubine for Zhu Yicheng. When Zhu Yicheng heard about this, he was about to shirk it, but who would have thought that Li Juan'er was rarely stubborn this time?

"Emperor, there are no one in the harem in the emperor these days, and I have always been worried. I have been favored by the emperor to be the queen, but I don't think that the emperor favored me and even had few children. Although there are examples of Xiaozong in our dynasty, the emperor should not forget the affairs of Wuzong. The prosperous descendants of the emperor are the blessing of the world!"

Li Juan'er said sincerely, and said, "Secondly, I also have selfish intentions. Now I am the queen and pregnant with a dragon son. I have been so kind to the emperor. It can be said that I have no regrets in this life, but I don't want to be jealous in the world, so I ask the emperor to be kind to me, how about it?"

Looking at Li Juan'er's gaze at her, as well as the expectation and determination in her eyes, Zhu Yi, Chengdu's words of ruling can't be said for a while. Indeed, he had used the story of Xiaozong as a shield before, but Li Juan'er also directly pointed out the matter today. It was precisely because Xiaozong favored the Empress alone that Xiaozong had only one son, Wuzong, and Wuzong collapsed without leaving a son. In the end, Xiaozong's lineage was cut off, which led to the fact that Jiajing was in power.

Li Juaner must have been hiding these words in her heart for a long time, but she couldn't hold them in her hands today and finally said them directly. Faced with this situation, if Zhu Yicheng refused again, he might be worried about Li Juaner. If he had any problems, what should he do if he had a few shortcomings.

After a while of deep reminiscence, Zhu Yicheng sighed helplessly: "Juan'er, I understand what you mean. I originally wanted to wait until the prince is born before considering this matter, but who thinks you think so, so... Forget it, let's do this according to your wishes."

When Li Juaner heard that Zhu Yicheng finally agreed to this matter, she was very happy. She had been preparing for the selection of a concubine for a long time. She immediately took the booklet that Zhu Yicheng was reading just now and picked out a few women she had already liked to explain them one by one. Seeing her actions, Zhu Yicheng could only follow her. As long as she was happy, everything would be as she thought.

A few days later, the matter of Zhu Yicheng's choice of concubine was officially decided. However, although Zhu Yicheng agreed, he also said that the number and level of people should be strictly limited first, and that they should not be publicized or harassed the people. Therefore, the final arrangement was to select two concubines and four Ji to serve as the harem.

In addition to the candidates selected by Li Juaner for Zhu Yicheng, the Ming court also made some arrangements, and finally thirty-six people were selected, and then six of them were selected from the thirty-six people. The final list confirmed that Li Juaner and Zhu Yicheng had everything decided.

After completing these things, Ma Gongcheng's army had already marched from Fujian to Guangdong, and at the same time the newly formed South China Sea Navy was right! Now the Ming Navy has been re-divided, namely the East China Sea Navy and the South China Sea Navy. In addition, there are the North China Sea Navy under construction. They originally wanted to be called Beiyang, Dongyang and Nanyang Navy, but Zhu Yicheng felt that these names were awkward and unlucky, and they were changed directly.

In addition to these two major naval forces, Taiwan established a newly established commander of the Taiwan Squadron, which was directly under the war zone, and was dispatched according to the war zone. As for the separation of the Yangtze River Navy and formed a separate army to complete the transformation from the traditional naval division to the formal navy. According to Zhu Yicheng's plan, the construction of the navy in the future will be the top priority, and now it is just the first step.

The South China Sea Navy was commanded by Wang Dong and directly attacked Guangzhou from the sea as planned. At the same time, the navy also adopted the tactic of large-scale landing of the Sixth War for the first time. In addition to the warships of the South China Sea Navy, the South China Sea Navy deployed more than 100 transport ships to directly transport the 6th Army to the southwest of Guangzhou, and directly blocked Nan'ao, occupied Hong Kong Island as a forward base, and headed north from Guangzhou Bay to the 6th.
