Chapter 60

For the Great Ming of the Chongzhen era.

Perhaps a mad official in a department would affect nothing.

But if all the powerful nobles of the entire court went mad, that would be different.

The Duke of Ying Zhang Zhiji, the Duke of Ding Xu Yunzhen, and the Duke of Cheng Zhu Chunchen, who normally didn't even go to the military camp once, actually, for the first time, donned armor and rushed to the Beijing Camp outside the city.

The first thing they did upon arriving at the camp was to verify the troops in each battalion!

They settled accounts for all the empty quotas.

In the past, relying on their ancestors' savings,

they simply did not care about the fate of the court.

But now it is different.

At present, aside from their titles and the few acres of land in their hometown, they had barely any silver left in their pockets.

This thing of drawing pay for empty slots.

could still be eaten once the world was peaceful in the future.

Not eaten by themselves, but by their descendants.

The top priority now is to stop the losses.

The Great Ming must not fall; that is their only demand!

The atmosphere throughout the court and the country has been completely renewed.

And as a large number of troops were relocated to Liaodong, the imperial clans from all over the world had also successively arrived at the capital.

These feudal kings had originally worried whether the court could actually produce enough silver to appease them.

After all, they had received quite a few messages along the way.

Each of these feudal kings thought they were the most populous imperial clan in the entire Old Zhu family.

They never expected that the imperial clans from all over the world were actually so prolific.

Hundreds of thousands of imperial clansmen, marching in a vast procession.

Even if there were a mountain of gold, it would be emptied!

But when they saw the court transport out two million taels today,

and approve two million shi of grain and fodder tomorrow,

the doubts in the hearts of these feudal kings completely vanished.

No one cared which path Zhu Youjian had taken to get rich.

All the imperial clans just wanted to cut a huge piece from this big cake to fatten themselves!

For nearly half a month,

the feudal kings from various places arrived at the capital one after another, fearing that if they came late, they would make a wasted trip!

57, system reward?!

When all the imperial clans from the world had arrived at the capital,

Zhu Youjian personally ascended Qihua Sect and made a video call to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, in another timeline, was also startled upon seeing these imperial clansmen in the distance.

As the founding emperor of the Great Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang,

could absolutely not have guessed that his descendants in later generations could number up to four hundred thousand.

And this was only the male descendants!

If one counted the princesses, county princesses, and imperial sons-in-law from all places,

the number would be a staggering nearly one million!

He said it was impossible with his mouth,

but when he saw these dense descendants across more than two hundred years of time and space,

the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth could not help but bloom with joy.

Emperor Taizu Gao:

"Hahaha, are these all our descendants?"

"Tsk tsk, the young men at the very front are truly strong; which feudal house are they from?"

Emperor Sizong Lie:

"They are all blood relatives of Great-Grandfather. Transmitted to this day for over two hundred years, our Zhu family can be called the greatest clan under heaven!"

"Those at the very front are the descendants of the Chu Wang Fu."

Emperor Taizu Gao:

"Hmm? Descendants of our old sixth? Hahaha, good, very good..."

Looking at the imperial clansmen under the lens,

Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth was almost unable to close.

He could not help but mutter,

"Sister... these are all our children... if only you could see this with us..."

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang thought that these descendants of his would soon be sent to the battlefield,

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stopped smiling.

Emperor Taizu Gao:

"Fight! With so many people in our Zhu family, if we still lose this world, then our Zhu family will have lost great face!"

"Go immediately and draft an edict. Use the words from the Ancestral Instructions of the Great Ming to tell them for us: the world is our Zhu family's world; the titles we bestowed upon them were to have them guard our Jiangshan for the Great Ming!"

"Now, it is their turn to go up!"

Emperor Sizong Lie:

"This son will go draft the edict immediately!"

Just at that moment.

A voice suddenly reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ear.

【The Great Ming's national fortune has successfully reversed its decline; your chat group has activated the teleportation function!】

【Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a Teleportation Talisman *1 (can teleport one person to a designated time and space)!】

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately brightened.

Teleport one person to a designated time and space?!

Zhu Yuanzhang nearly couldn't hold back and decided to make an imperial tour of the Chongzhen era himself.

However, the rationality of a monarch forced Zhu Yuanzhang to calm down.

These young ones are about to go to the battlefield.

An ancestor like Old Zhu, who is in his twilight years, would obviously not affect anything if he went.

After all, Old Zhu could hardly personally lead these sons and grandsons to fight to the death against Hong Taiji.

Thinking of this.

An idea immediately formed in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

— Send a general over!

Moreover, there happens to be one person on his side who is extremely suitable!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered a carriage prepared, left the palace, and headed straight for Lan Yu's residence!

Su Qiao spoke correctly.

After Zhu Biao died, Lan Yu had already become a death trap with no escape.

However, right now, Zhu Yuanzhang has already found the best destination for Lan Yu!

Liang Duke Prefecture.

Since being confined by Zhu Yuanzhang, Lan Yu also seemed to have vaguely sensed his fate.

In this past year, Lan Yu had already become quite thin.

Looking at his superior standing before him, Lan Yu's heart was filled with a mixture of emotions.

But in the end, he knelt down before Zhu Yuanzhang with utmost respect.

"The guilty subject Lan Yu pays homage to the Superior!"
