After the imperial edict was issued, less than a month left for Zhu Zhi. He immediately started in a intensive manner and made the final preparations before the vassal.

The most important thing is to determine the candidates for other officials of the royal palace. Zhu Zhi was very busy and used all those he could know. The trial nominated Zhao Yu, an old minister who had experienced the five dynasties in his later generations, was agile in history and was able to do everything. He knew that the soldiers were "going to the world's key points and the garrison was suitable for advancement"; he knew maritime affairs and "made contributions to arresting pirates." After Yongle, he "specialized in the military affairs outside the border, and the emperor fought north, and transferred funds to the north." In addition, he was also a poor man in the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites. He was an absolute versatile man. How could such a talent be let go?

The dictionary nominated Yao Shan, who was on the list given to him by the crown prince before his death, was nominated to appease the people of the *. However, this person was quite famous in history. When he was the prefect of Suzhou, he was in a general position and did not be harsh and detailed. The lawsuits declined and Wuzhong Dazhi was ruled.

Yang Rong was promoted to Chief Secretary, and Ji Shan nominated Qu Yuan as the successor. Originally, Zhu Zhi didn't want to hinder him from taking the Jinshi next year, so he didn't let him go to Liaodong with him. But Qu Yuan found him and said that his father and brother had gone to Liaodong and were very depressed to stay alone in the capital, so he insisted on following him. Zhu Zhi couldn't bother him, so he nominated him. However, this child was brave and knowledgeable. If he practiced more in Liaodong, he would definitely achieve a career in the future.

Apart from these two people, it seems that the others were either unable to examine them. They were either in high positions and high power, and they were no longer the ones that Zhu Zhi's royal palace could have. Zhu Zhi was also happy to hand them over to the Ministry of Revenue. In a few days, the Ministry of Revenue arranged all the officials of the royal palace. The Ministry of Revenue nominated by Zhu Zhi was naturally satisfied.

Zhu Zhi looked at the list given to him by the Ministry of Revenue. There were several people on the list given to him by the prince, such as Cheng Tong, Zhang Shixin, etc. Zhu Zhi saw that the person he wanted was fine, and the others ignored him. Anyway, when he arrived in Liaodong, if anyone could use it, he would change it.

In terms of military generals, the first thing to do was to transfer Qu Neng's eldest son Qu Qing from the left guard of Hu Ben. This was a tiger general, and he had to accept it. The other generals Zhu Zhi also moved too much, but he transferred a thousand households from Zhenwu Wei, named Zhang Lun. The reason why he chose this person was because he was the most loyal and fierce among the generals of Jingnan. According to the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Lun was brave and angry and liked to observe the ancient loyalty and righteous affairs. After Li Jinglong and Sheng Yong fought, they all made contributions. The King of Yan ascended the throne and summoned Lun. Lun laughed and said, "Is Zhang Lun the general sold himself to Ding Gong!" He died. The capital was trapped, and all the military officials surrendered. Lun was the only one who calmly died.

Apart from these two people, Zhu Zhi did not transfer too many people. First, Zhu Zhi could not remember any other powerful people like Ping An, Sheng Yong, and Bu Wan, who could at least be a commander, could not be transferred at will by himself. Second, although he had the power of the imperial guards and could be transferred more guards, he was also afraid that too many generals would give him a sense of self-respecting military force. It would be better to be careful as much as possible. Moreover, with the three fathers and sons of Qu Neng, Chu Zhi, Xiao Ma Wang, Zhuang De and others, he had already compiled the star.

The troops of the Yulin Right Guard have been fully replenished, and the troops in the front battalion of Shenji Camp were also moved to station with the Yulin Guard. Zhu Zhi intended to let these two soldiers know each other more and cooperate with each other to prepare for the establishment of the Liaodong guards in the future. According to the Ming Dynasty system, he should have three guards, but now he is actually less than two, and he will reorganize the troops in the future when he arrives in Liaodong. Zhu Zhi has always had a headache about this problem. He initially planned to establish two cavalry guards, one with the front battalion of Shenji Camp as the main force. However, raising horses requires money, and building guns and cannons requires money. Now the money he has is really not enough. Whenever he thinks of this, he will touch the map given to him by Lan Yu.

Now, Zhu Zhi finally had 200,000 taels of silver in his hand, which was a small fortune. He took out part of it and handed it to his father-in-law, and asked him to recruit blacksmiths, copper smiths, carpenters and other craftsmen in the capital in the name of recruiting the royal palace to help Liaodong develop in the future. Naturally, the more and more are better. Zhu Zhi would not be stingy at all. If he didn't recruit people now, it would not be so easy to find him in Liaodong in the future. Guo Ying was ordered to do the job, so the people of the Ministry of Works naturally cooperated with him. In a few days, more than 200 craftsmen were sent to the military camp. Guo Ying, in accordance with Zhu Zhi's instructions, specially recruited twice as many craftsmen from the people. Of course, this was another considerable expense.

On the tenth day of April, Guo Ming also returned from the beach and brought Zhu Zhi more than 100 experienced shipbuilders in Wenzhou and Fuzhou and other places. Not only were there craftsmen, he also recruited a group of very experienced sailors and ship owners. It turned out that due to the imperial ban on sea ban in the coastal areas, these people lost their original work and changed their jobs and became ordinary people who cultivated land. Guo Ming didn't know much about shipbuilding, but he felt that someone would always know how to drive a ship. Anyway, after recruiting craftsmen, he still had more money, so he also recruited more than 200 unemployed ship owners.

Zhu Zhi was not angry and happy about Guo Ming's self-proposal. He found that his brother-in-law was not only capable, but also very careful and knew how to learn from one example. Guo Ming had already made up for what he had not expected at the beginning. Zhu Zhi naturally praised him a lot.

Zhu Zhi organized the boatmen and craftsmen into the Liaodong craftsman camp and set off with the army. At the same time, Zhu Zhi ordered Salini to go back and recruit his subordinates. The two sides agreed that it would be limited to March. On the first day of July, he would personally welcome Salini's arrival at the Left Guard of Jinshan. Zhu Zhi also took out 20,000 taels of silver and handed it to Salini, and told him to use it to comfort his subordinates and provide settlement fees for some people who were unwilling to recruit. In this way, after more than 20 days of busyness, all aspects were arranged and just waiting for the departure.

On the eve of departure, Zhu Zhi specially brought his wife and children to the palace to visit his mother Han. She only had a son like Zhu Zhi. The so-called mother was worried about her son's journey, so she was naturally reluctant to let go. When she saw Zhu Zhi's tears, she immediately fell like a broken pearl. She sobbed and said, "My Shiwulang, do you have the heart to leave her so far away for her mother? Woo woo..."

Zhu Zhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Mother, the ancients said that parents are not traveling far away, so there must be a way to travel. The father appointed his son to be a vassal in Liaodong, so naturally he asked his son to guard the border for the country. How could his son let his son down for the love of his father?"

Concubine Han wiped her tears and said, "The Ai family knows that if you don't have a big deal, you must have your own world. The Ai family should have been happy, but she was sad and crying when she couldn't bear it for a moment. Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, you have to learn to take care of yourself. My wife, Shiwulang will give it to you." Guo Xiu, the princess of Liao who was kneeling beside her, quickly agreed.

Concubine Han whispered seriously: "There is another thing that I want to give you special advice. Shiwulang, listen. The Ai family knows that you and the fourth brother are not in the way. Liaodong is facing Beiping, and Peking is the territory of your fourth brother. This pot and spoon are bound to touch the edge of the stove. No matter how your fourth brother is forced to each other in the future, as long as you are here for one day, you will not be able to break up with the fourth brother no matter what. Remember, this is the thing that the Ai family is most worried about, and you must agree."

Although Zhu Zhi didn't understand why Concubine Han said that, he knew that Concubine Han had been in the palace for so many years and naturally knew about political games. It would make sense to say this, and he respectfully agreed.

Seeing that Zhu Zhi agreed, Concubine Han's face felt much more relaxed, and asked Guo Xiu to carry his grandson over. She loved him again. She complained: "Yan'er is almost two years old. When will you two give him a younger brother? The Ai family is also counting on holding a few more grandsons. I won't complain about other matters. You have to worry about this matter." Guo Xiu agreed with a red face.

The three of them had another conversation, and the eunuch outside sang: "Your Majesty is here." Concubine Han quickly took Zhu Zhi and Guo Xiu to greet him.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the room with a red face. Seeing Han crying, he remembered that Zhu Zhi was about to go thousands of miles. He felt soft and said to the mother and son: "The first time Zhier has gone out such a far-distance home, you should spend more time with your mother. I will go to the study first, and you will come after you have finished talking."

Concubine Han hurriedly said, "It might as well, the 15th son of the palace has entered the palace every day, and the explanation is almost done if he should explain. I am just a little sad. Zhier, go and listen to your father's teachings." Zhu Zhi bowed respectfully and followed Zhu Yuanzhang out.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked slowly in the corridor of the palace. Zhu Zhi followed behind and said, "Father, my son is about to travel far away. I can't be filial to you. You must take care of your dragon body."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly: "Ten are there, you are the tenth son of the vassal state I have sent away. You are all older, I am old, and many places are useless."

Zhu Zhi said: "Why did your father say this? I see that you are in good health and in good spirits, or are you waiting for your 100th birthday wedding wine?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Shiwulang, Shiwulang, when did you become so good at speaking? Long live, can people really live ten thousand live? That is just flattering me as a minister. I don't want to live a hundred years old, as long as I see peace in the world, it's enough."

Zhu Zhi said: "Now the world is peaceful, and there is no place where there is smoke. These are the father's civil and military achievements. I think the territory of the Ming Dynasty is wide, and no dynasty in history can compare with it. I am afraid that the achievements of the father's emperor are beyond the reach of the Qin and Han martial arts."

These few sentences are the truth. Now Yu Yu clarified that the territory is so large that China has never matched in previous dynasties. Zhu Yuanzhang happily touched his beard and said, "Who taught you to beat the horse? But what I said is also true. It's just that although the territory is large, there are more problems, and it will be more troublesome to manage it."

Zhu Zhi said: "Sometimes my son feels that life is very tiring and there are always many troubles. Although this is true for people, let alone the country. Only an emperor like his father, who is so clear-minded can govern the country so prosperously."

"'It's very tiring to live,' Haha, where did you think about it? Although it's a bit rough, the reason is indeed the case. People all say that the emperor is good, but look at me. I only slept for a few hours a day and had to get up to go to the morning court. There are hundreds of memorials reviewed every day. What is the way to govern a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. Sometimes I really feel that what the saint said is not necessarily correct. I am older, and sometimes I have to review it for a long time, and my waist hurts so much." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

Zhu Zhi said: "Father, my son has always been naughty and does not understand filial piety. Now he is leaving your side, and I feel even more unbearable. Come on, my father sit down and let my son beat you another back."

Listening to Zhu Zhi's sincere love, Zhu Yuanzhang felt particularly warm. He sat down in the corridor, and Zhu Zhi massaged his back. Zhu Zhi found that there was no high hat on Zhu Yuanzhang, so it would be better to play some family affection cards.

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Son, I really can't bear to leave you, why don't you give me a favor to leave tomorrow and let you stay for more days."

Zhu Zhi thought to himself, Damn, don’t overdo the show, and said, “That’s great. I’m just hoping to stay by your side. Alas, but then again, if my son is still in the capital, it’s easy to gossip.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have heard those gossips, hum, I thought I would be fooled and destroy the Great Wall? It's ridiculous."

Zhu Zhi said: "Of course those gossips cannot be separated from each other, but has the father ever thought that how many people would not worry about their son staying in the capital? To be honest, the son does not want to be framed by the villain, and the wood is revealed by the forest wind. What's more, guarding the border for the country is also his son's always ambition, otherwise this martial arts will be abandoned."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Zhi's hand and said, "Come on, Shiwulang, sit down and have a good chat with me. Everything you say is reasonable, and I understand, how many people can tell the truth to me like you? Your fourth brother could say a few words back then, but now he is so far away. Now that you are leaving again, who can I tell you?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Why don't your father find some reason to call your son to Beijing every year. At worst, your son can go a few more trips, haha."

"As you leave, I have a few words to remind you." Zhu Yuanzhang said. Zhu Zhi hurriedly put away his smile and sat upright. "First, govern the army with strictness and govern the people with lenientness. I know that you always like to marry the generals below, but you are born noble and should have your own dignity. Otherwise, over time, you will inevitably develop some ambitious people around you. You must learn to use your majesty to control your generals. Moreover, the border soldiers are in danger of fighting, and the military discipline must be strict; govern the people with lenientness. In the bitter and cold land in Liaodong, the imperial court has thought of many ways to immigrate to fill the frontier population, but the war is constantly in chaos and the ground is poor. The people are gone and fleeing, and the population cannot grow. Therefore, you must govern the people with lenientness to gather the people to rest and recuperate in Liaodong."

Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "My son is very concerned about his father's teachings. His son has often read the Liaodong folk book these days. There are only more than 500,000 people in such a large place, and there are too few people in Liaodong. My son begs his father to increase immigration efforts in the next few years, at least one million people, before it can dissolve the Hu people."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Well, you don't have to worry about this, I know something. There is another thing you need to deal with. Li Chenggui, the new King of Goryeo, submitted a letter to the court to ask for the vassals. Some Confucian scholars in this dynasty have complained about this, believing that he was usurping the superiors and could not recognize them. After you arrived in Liaodong, you happened to be a neighbor of the Li Dynasty. You should test their sincerity to the court. But remember not to conflict with him, after all, he is willing to be the king of the vassals."

Zhu Zhi agreed, and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Li Chao would admit it sooner or later, but he wanted to support the Wang brothers and sisters and so on. It seemed that this matter needed to be discussed for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "The third thing is also the thing that I am most worried about. If you and the fourth brother don't deal with it, this is well-known to everyone in the court. I am not easy to ask about the relationship between you brothers, but since you have become neighbors with him, you must put the country first and cooperate with the fourth brother to manage the grassland together. You are a person who knows the general and does not need my advice at first. But I am afraid that you sometimes have a stubborn temper, so I still have to nag a few words. Being a vassal king and being a prince are completely different things. Everything cannot be done by nature. Remember."

Zhu Zhi said: "Father, please rest assured. My son knows the importance of it, and will not abolish the public because of personal gain."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have given all the instructions. You can go and accompany your mother."

Zhu Zhi kowtowed and retreated, and took two steps. Zhu Yuanzhang called him again. Zhu Zhi turned around and said, "What are the instructions for the father?" The old man looked reluctant and his eyes seemed a little red. He looked at Zhu Zhi and finally waved his hand: "Go, go, go, spend more time with your mother." As cruel as Zhu Yuanzhang, he also had a deep love for him. Human nature will never be destroyed.

"Bang...bang...bang..." Three cannons, Yulin Right Guard, Shenji Front Camp and other 13,000 people were lined up in front of Shence Gate, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang and all civil and military officials to review. The royal palace, the families of officials, craftsmen, etc. had already arrived at the ancient ferry of Danxi Guazhou on board and waited on the boat. Wang Luchao's brothers and sisters and their subordinates were also arranged among the craftsmen and secretly followed the team to Liaodong.

A horn sounded, and Zhu Yuanzhang and civil and military officials appeared on the top of the city. Zhu Zhi had a sword in his hand and ordered: "Everyone dismounted, long live our emperor." The uniform movements of all the officers and soldiers showed the domineering spirit of an elite army. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the soldiers and horses below with satisfaction and waved to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch Xuanzheng said: "The emperor ordered the King of Liao Zhu Zhi to be in Guangning. You should respectfully accept my order." Xuan Zhen, Zhu Zhi leaned down on the ground, expressed his acceptance of the order, got up, and bowed to the ground again. The officials of the Ministry of Rites walked out of the door and gave it to Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi respectfully raised the imperial edict over his head and bowed to the city again. Then the music above was written, Zhu Zhi got up, and held the imperial edict in his right hand and flew on the horse.

The army slowly moved up amid the sound of silk music on the city. At this time, the sky was not yet bright. Zhu Zhi looked back at the gray city of Nanjing in the morning mist. It was so ancient and so heavy. Suddenly, the sun broke out from under the horizon and struggled to break out of the ground. A golden sun shone on the ancient city wall, shining with a layer of dreamy light.

Zhu Zhi Lading's horse head stared blankly at this amazing scene. The glory of nature and the precipitation of history were perfectly combined at this moment. She was holy and arrogant. She slowly woke up from her sleep, so mysterious and moving.

"Clang, CLlang..." The bell ringing of the bell tower in the north of the city seemed to travel through thousands of years of time and space, shaking in Zhu Zhi's heart. The evening drum and morning bell, the notes that remain unchanged for thousands of years seem to announce the beginning of the great era. This great era that truly belongs to it makes it come more violently.
