The seventh year of the Daming Heavenly Dao is right in front of you. In addition, the previous year of the Daming Jiazi year, the founding of the Ming Dynasty was almost eight years. △↗, these eight years are not long, but they are definitely not short. What happened in the eight years can be described as earth-shaking.

However, the ruling group of the Ming Dynasty has been quite calm for eight years. There are too many interests at home and abroad. Foreign countries are a new world, while domestic countries are a comprehensive evolution of production relations to capitalism. The combined efforts of the two are naturally huge benefits that are sufficient to allocate in all aspects.

If the benefits are enough, then everyone will naturally be happy to be at peace. At least nothing will happen until their ambitions further expand.

But at the end of the sixth year of the Daming Tiandao, the peaceful days were obviously almost over.

Some unharmonious news came from the western part of the Ming Dynasty and the southern part of the Tianzhu Kingdom!

The news just came from the west was related to Zhu Sijiu and Guo Kan. Zhu Sijiu proposed to the Tiandao Taoist who accompanied the army to the west to abandon his first wife, Hou, and at the same time, he married Guo Kan's daughter as his wife! The two generals on the Western Front of the Ming Dynasty were actually going to become father-in-law and son-in-law.

Xu Ziyuan, the governor of Tianshan Province, who had just arrived in the northwest, reported to the court that Zhu Sijiu led troops from the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, broke hundreds of tribes, and plundered more than 200,000 indigenous people in the Western Regions as slaves. All of them moved to Daqing County, Yili Prefecture, with 50,000 of them were still Zhu Sijiu's own slaves. Only the sparsely populated Tianshan Province, which was deserted and deserted, was given to Xu Ziyuan.

What's more, Zhu Sijiu recruited young men from his Western Regions Sex slaves and collected them as scouts, practicing martial arts and battle formations day and night. Now there are at least 3,000 scouts, and the number is still increasing.

In addition, Zhu Sijiu's Hakka ministers were also the most common among the Qionghualou brothers. They are known as "the eight hundred guests under the Zhu Gong's sect". That is to say, there are eight hundred guests. Raising the guests is not a taboo in the Chen Ming Dynasty, but the number of the eight hundred guests is really too large.

You should know that among the Qionghualou brothers, the big-name monk Liu and Lu Hu, there are only 40 or 50 diners under the tall disciples. Ren Daoxing and Ren Yijiang and his son have less than 100 more visitors.

Mingzhou President Huang Zhishen had more Hakka ministers. After more than a thousand, he had already had the American Principality, and most of the more than a thousand Hakka ministers were recruited before Mingzhou. Before, Huang Zhishen had only more than a hundred disciples, and many of them were shopkeepers who were doing business for the Huang family.

"Three thousand dead soldiers and eight hundred guests..." Old Dao Ren just shook his head, "If you want to put it in any previous dynasty, you will be charged with rebellion!"

"This is hard to say," Ren Yijiang shook his head with a wry smile, "Tian Mengchang, Wei Xinling, Zhao Pingyuan is not a disciple of 3,000? Earlier, the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty could acquire land to establish a country, who would have no subordinates? Zhu Sijiu is now a prince, and it is not a matter of time to be a king? Now if you don't recruit some retainers and raise some soldiers, how can you build a country?"

"What about the 50,000 Western Region Semen Sexual Slaves? Can they still be transported to Nanmingzhou?" Ren Daoxing picked up the wine glass on a tray in front of him, took a sip of the soju wine, shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Zhu Sijiuba probably doesn't look down on the territory of Nanmingzhou!"

In fact, not many people are interested in Nanmingzhou's territory. It is too far and too wasteland. Just develop it slowly for the descendants to play with. Go by yourself, but not many people have this appetite. However, no one has ever said that they would not want the Nanmingzhou to be banned and established a country elsewhere.

Ren Yijiang thought for a while and nodded. "It's probably the case... I'll just hand over Xu Ziyuan's memorial tomorrow. Let's see how the saint deals with it?"

Chen Dexing must have known what Zhu Sijiu did in the Western Regions through the two lines of Dayi Instructor and Tiandao Sect. However, he had never responded, and obviously he had agreed. Maybe he really wanted Zhu Sijiu to go to the west to establish the country?

It’s really hard to deal with in the Cabinet Office. Just report it directly.

"Send everything to the top, what else does the saint want you, the prime minister, to do?" Ren Daoxing seemed very disdainful of his son's attitude of playing the ball. "You have to have an attitude towards such a thing. Do you need to suppress or support it, and think clearly. Don't ask the saint at that time, you can't say anything."

"Zhu Sijiu is the saint's confidant..."

Ren Yijiang was a little embarrassed. He knew that Zhu Sijiu's approach in the Western Regions was definitely not to seize Chen Dexing's throne, but to find a better territory in the West to establish a country... But if this matter was not Chen Dexing's intention, it would be a little troublesome!

"You should oppose Zhu Sijiu!" Ren Daoxing frowned deeply, and simply said clearly, "If Huang Baiwan was still sitting in the prime minister, he would definitely oppose it! The relationship between the saint and Zhu Sijiu is good or bad, whether there is a tacit understanding between them is another matter. But as the prime minister, you should act impartially. Zhu Sijiu massacres the Western Regions, plunder slaves, and recruiting scouts are all harmful to the country. You should clearly oppose it. However, he divorced his first wife and married Guo Kan's daughter, but it has little to do with you. You don't have to express your objection, just mention it."

Ren Daoxing is right. Huang Zhishen can stay in the prime minister for many years, so that Chen Dexing can save his worries and effort because he can be impartial. Right is right, wrong is wrong. As a ruling leader, you must judge from the perspective of benefiting the country and must safeguard the laws of the country.

Zhu Sijiu killed people and plundered slaves in the Western Regions to raise private soldiers. Although it is hard to say that it violates the national law, Chen Ming's army has always had a tradition of plundering foreign races as slaves. This is legal! As a preparatory lord, it is also legal to recruit private soldiers. Otherwise, how could he go to the fiefdom to get the country? But Zhu Sijiu's behavior was definitely too much.

"Actually, Zhu Sijiu's affairs are easy to do. The saint is unwilling to destroy the friendship of brothers, and he is even more unwilling to start a killing hero. He will most likely go with the flow and remove Zhu Sijiu from his position as a general in the Western Regions, and at the same time allow him to establish a country in the Western Regions. Maybe he will also sponsor gold and silver weapons and allow him to recruit soldiers in the mainland. However, as the priest, you must not make such an opinion. If the saint thinks that you have any collusion with Zhu Sijiu, you are afraid that you will have to go to Mingzhou and Huang Baiwan to accompany you..."

Ren Daoxing's tips made Ren Yijiang sweat in a cold forehead. If it weren't for his father's reminder, he would have exonerated Zhu Sijiu at the imperial meeting.

"Son, you are the prime minister, you can't be too close to the general who leads troops outside."

After going around a big circle, Ren Yijiang realized that the old man was reminding himself not to speak good things for the generals.

"Sir, the boy understand."

He was not a fool either, and he was already clear after being told by his father.

Ren Yijiang smiled bitterly and said, "The prime minister is an evil person, and the saint is a good person."

"Son, the waves in the south may be even more troublesome."

Ren Daoxing suddenly changed the topic.

"The brothers in the west are fake, and it's a bit too much. There are lessons from monk Liu and Lu Hu, who are brothers. But the father and brothers in the south are real. It's Chen Ming's family affairs and also a state affairs. The father and elder brother are in trouble, which is really embarrassing..."

Ren Daoxing picked up his beard and talked about the twists and turns of Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang.

Speaking of this, the cause was the Maldives naval battle not long ago. Before this naval battle, Chen Defang was just a puppet of his father Chen Huaiqing. He had neither prestige nor team, and seemed to have no ability. He was lucky and became Chen Dexing's brother.

In fact, even Chen Dexing himself did not attach much importance to this brother, and he had never even given him a title. Chen Defang was just the prince of the Great Britain of India, and no one took him seriously.

But after the Battle of the Maldives, Chen Defang seemed to have everything. Six thousand and one hundred thousand! His reputation was so great. Who would dare to say that he was not capable? After the war, many private captains surrendered to him, and even became officials in the British navy. Moreover, Chen Defang also brought up a black army with more than 13,000 people. Although he didn't know if he could fight, they seemed quite scary.

In addition, Chen Defang also found a beloved woman after the Naval Battle of the Maldives. She was also a mixed-race man of black slaves and white women, named Gudit. After returning to the Riverside Mansion, Chen Defang announced that Gudit was his only concubine... But Chen Huaiqing firmly opposed his son Nagudit as his concubine. The father and son actually had a dispute over this trivial matter.

Ren Yijiang held his beard and his eyebrows were twisted into a ball.

He didn't believe Chen Huaiqing, because Chen Defang would make a fuss for a black and white maid. Chen Huaiqing had dozens of his own concubines. The two most favored "Boro" were also barbarian women? Why don't he let his son take a concubine now? Moreover, why did Chen Defang have to take that woman as a concubine? This woman is probably a toy of Chen Defang. Do you have to make a conflict with her father?

It seems that there must be another hidden truth behind this matter! But what is this hidden truth?

After being silent for a while, Ren Yijiang suddenly said softly: "Crown Prince Ying has always been a filial son, but now there must be a reason for conflict with King Ying. This family matter of the king is mostly for power. The position of Prince Ying is reliable, and the saint will not allow other brothers to seize Prince Ying's position. However, King Ying wants to give other sons fiefs or other benefits, but the saints don't care much about it. But King Ying has so many sons..."

Ren Yijiang suddenly strengthened his tone, and his words seemed like a hammer, and he hit the vital point. "It's not that the King of England has many sons, but that the British are big and small!"

At this moment, Ren Yijiang's face was already gloomy. The troubles in the Great Britain of India were indeed quite large. Chen Huaiqing has taken too many concubines and gave birth to too many sons over the years. A large family has been born and reproduced. As these sons grow up, how to arrange it is a problem. If each son gives a fiefdom, then Chen Defang will be able to control the land in the future. But if there is no fiefdom, then will Chen Huaiqing's concubines, especially the Polo sisters, blow the wind in the old man's ears?

Of course, there is not a way to satisfy both father and son. It is to make a big plate, and seize land and grant Chen Huaiqing's concubine son outside the territory that Chen Dexing assigned to Great Britain. But in this way, Great Britain will have the leader of the Great Britain in the future. Can the saint of the Ming Dynasty agree?

Moreover, the cabinet was not easy to express its opinions. Ren Yijiang thought about it over and over again. If Saint Chen asked, he would say something vaguely as "harmony between the family and everything will prosper." At worst, he could send an important minister to India to tell the two fathers and sons about peace.

Prince Ying, Chen Defang, who was having a quarrel with his father, was now heading west along the Ganges. He was always smiling gently, but he seemed to be trapped by the ice and snow on the Himalayas, with deep eyebrows and eyes, and he was shaking his head from time to time.

Chen Defang was not worried about his younger brother's lack of a way out. Unlike what Ren Yijiang thought of, he was not worried about his father giving away too much land to his brother. He now has a team and reputation. This time he fought against the Delhi Sultanate along the Ganges River and was sure to win. In the Naval Battle of the Maldives, he got more than 13,000 "black masters", most of whom were slave oarsmen trained by Arab merchants. The ability to row boat control was much better than that of the Indian untouchable oarsmen temporarily captured by the Sultan of Delhi. There were also some black warriors who could participate in hand-to-hand combat. Chen Defang gave them black leather armor, black helmets, black shields, and a large horizontal sword with black iron inlaid with steel. They looked scary when they looked at them in black!

In addition to these black men, Chen Defang also won over more than 4,000 Han pirates. Not all Han pirates were mingled with him. A small part was taken to the Atlantic. Solomon was mostly good at fighting waters. Among them, Lei Batian was very famous. Even Wang Shuifei of the South China Fleet said that he was "self-taught and talented". In addition, Chen Defang also obtained a resourceful brown military, Gudit Solomon.

There was Lei Batian commanding the navy, Gudit helped out with his advice, and there were 4,000 Han pirates and 13,000 black "master soldiers". Chen Defang could defeat the landlady navy of the Delhi Sultanate even while lying down. Because the navy of the Delhi Sultanate was also temporarily pieced together, and most of the elite soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate were from the mountains and grasslands, and they would not fight water wars at all.

After winning the Ganges Battle, Chen Defang's momentum will be even greater! How could those brothers who were still little kids compete with him? Even if the land was sealed, the old man would still take it back without any discussion.

What really makes Chen Defang's headache now is that Chen Huaiqing is going to become a monk! It is not because of Gudith's incident that made him angry. Instead, he was incited by two "Polos" to become a monk. He also had to spend a huge amount of money to rebuild Nalanda Temple, Chaojie Temple, Feixing Temple and Dabodhi Temple (the four major temples of Mahayana Buddhism in Tianzhu), and was also preparing to establish Daying Xijing in the Fahrenheit (ancient Indian city) on the south bank of the Ganges River near Nalanda Temple.

It is clear that after Daxing Buddhism was used to control the restoration and control the four major temples of Mahayana Buddhism, Chen Huaiqing, the Great Bao Tiansheng Dharma King, could become the leader of Tianzhu Buddhism in just one's name. And Tianzhu Buddhism is also likely to become a super force above the kings of Tianzhu with Chen Huaiqing's efforts!
