I am the king of the dead

Zhu Qiyu looked at the huge geomancy map, what impact would the abolition of the Third Cochin Division of the Ming Dynasty have?

In the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Di held a large-scale hunting in the capital, and invited envoys from various countries to visit, shocking the world.

But with the abandonment of the Third Cochin Division, Tianxia Huanyu discovered that Daming was strong outside and capable in the middle, and he had a heart of disobedience.

The abandonment of the Third Cochin Division severely damaged Ming's international prestige in Southeast Asia and the West, and even shaken Ming's suzerainty status. Otherwise, the Eight Great Propaganda Divisions in Luchuan would not have repeatedly rebelled, and Manjaboyi would dare to destroy the old Gang Xuanwei Division?

The loss of the Third Cochin Division meant that Ming lost its dominance over Southeast Asia, and the official maritime trade and tribute trade of Ming could no longer be maintained. The final result was that the Ming Navy, which traveled across the oceans, was slowly abandoned.

Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei had the same point of view. The abandonment of Jiaozhi Sansi was just a prelude to the Ming Dynasty's revival of culture and martial arts.

Yang Hong always insisted that the Ming Dynasty should not promote literature and martial arts, and Emperor Taizu Taizong also promoted literature, but never martial arts.

The result of the loss of the Cochin Third Division was the Annan Li Dynasty, which constantly harassed the borders of the Ming Dynasty day and night, and the borders of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan continued to suffer.

Moreover, the Annan Li Dynasty and Luchuan's rebellion against homesickness are inextricably linked.

Zhu Qiyu is not in a hurry, at this time he is in the prime of his age, the Ming army is strong and horses are strong, so he can take his time, how many people are waiting for him to collapse too much, and they are talking about eggs.

"Your Majesty, Li Binyan came up to give a report, saying that the shipyard camp in Mizhou City has been built." Xing'an said with a smile seeing that His Majesty had finished the work in hand.

"Oh, Li Binyan is a bit interesting." Zhu Qiyu picked up the memorabilia from Mizhou Shipbuilding Department with a smile on his face.

During this year, Li Binyan was in charge of Shandong Province, especially the construction of Mizhou Shipping Department, which Li Binyan and Tang Xing were in charge of.

Tao Jin led the [-] Beijing battalion, and continued to suppress thieves in the Shandong area, ensuring that the official road from Jiaozhou to Mizhou was unimpeded and fruitful.

The main reason why Li Binyan played this is that the warships built by the Fujian Navy have already broken through the sea, and Fujian will be transferred to the Ming Dynasty capital through the Mizhou Shipping Division and other shores in the summer and autumn of last year.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu really wanted to set up a city ship department in Jinkou, so that sea-going ships could go directly to Jinkou and then to Tongzhou, which was far easier than transporting them from Shandong.

But in this era, Jinkou and the Bohai Sea will freeze in winter, and they will not melt until the beginning of spring from around October.

Jiaozhou Bay is an ice-free port.

The reason for the freezing of the Bohai Bay is very simple, because the Bohai Sea is shallow and the salt content is relatively low, so it is extremely easy to freeze.

But Jiaozhou Bay will not.

"It turned out to be like this. The clearness of the water makes you know the distance of the mountains. The water of the ocean is as black as a lake. The water with mountains is green and green. The water near the mountains is muddy and white. If there are fishes, there will be many reefs." , there are many algae and moss in the cover stone, and the fish will rest on their ears." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

There are many anecdotes in Li Binyan's memorials.

You can know the distance of the land by looking at the turbidity of the water. When you reach the deep water area, the water in the ocean is black. If there are islands, it will gradually turn green. The closer you get to the island, the water will become turbid and whitish. Where there are schools of fish, there must be reefs.

"If you have a chance, you must go and see it." Zhu Qiyu said with a sigh.

He can't move in the capital now, not because he doesn't want to move, but because he can't move.

How important is it for the emperor to sit in the capital?

If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had been in Daye for 12 years and returned to Chang'an from Luoyang instead of going south to Jiangnan, the Sui Dynasty would not have perished.

But Yang Guang went to Jiangdu and was hanged by Yu Wenhuaji.

Less than three years have passed since the Tumubao Tianchang, Zhu Qiyu has to sit in the capital, handle government affairs, and stabilize the people's livelihood in the world.

If he casually leaves the capital and the center of power, he will be irresponsible to himself, to his loyal subjects, to the common people of the world, and to Daming.

Even if you want to see the sea again, you have to wait until the court situation is completely stable.

Why did King Xiang supervise the country in the first place?Because Zhu Zhanji was staying in Nanjing at that time, and Emperor Renzong died in Beijing.

Xing'an said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no hurry."

Zhu Qiyu took Li Binyan's memorabilia and said: "This Li Sipin has done a good job in the local area. At least the shipping company in Mizhou City has done a good job. The tribute ships of the southern part of Korea, the Japanese country, and the big and small Ryukyu countries have continued to Jiaozhou since then."

"The shipping of grain from the south can also reduce a lot of transportation consumption. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Of course, some people jumped in a hurry. In just a few months, Japanese pirates attacked Hong Kong seven times. Things."

"Some guys, they don't give up."

Mizhou Shipping Department manages both tribute ships and merchant ships.

Li Binyan established the Seventeen Maritime Trade Market, which is responsible for all affairs of the market. Hundreds of merchant ships have been surveyed and cooperated by the imperial court in Mizhou to pay taxes and taxes.

However, there are still some people who are unwilling to pay taxes and intend to use the name of Japanese pirates to destroy the newly established Shibo Division.

However, they were all discovered by Tang Xing and Tao Jin early on, and they were all defeated.

Now we have to talk about the small Jiming Island with [-] hectares of land. Many sentry towers have been set up on that small island. Tang Xing has been stationed on Jiming Island for a long time to guard the enemy's whereabouts.

Once Japanese pirates approach, they will release loud arrows to call the police, and then be ready to flank back and forth at any time, so that the Japanese pirates will never come back.

Zhu Qiyu's father-in-law, Tang Xing, is obviously a wonderful person. Once Tang Xing disguised himself as a Japanese pirate, mixed in with the Japanese pirates, and even went to Jeju Island in North Korea. He played for more than [-] days before returning to Jiming Island. .

In Tang Xing's memorabilia, it is also very clear.

The leaders of the pirates are not Japanese at all, but Ming people, because most of the leaders of these pirates can use Chinese and speak Chinese, and they are proud of speaking Chinese.

This phenomenon was extremely strange. Although Tang Xing tried his best to inquire, he couldn't find their backer in Daming.

Zhu Qiyu said with emotion: "At the beginning when I heard that Emperor Taizong Wen had left 1000 taels of silver and 72 taels of gold in Haimao, Jin Lian once told me that someone was overriding the achievements of Emperor Wen. It now appears that what was said was true.”

Xing'an shook his head with a smile and said: "It's okay, when the Ming Dynasty Navy is rebuilt, no matter who the backer is, it's just a dead bone in the grave."

Fujian sent nearly 250 million shi of Champa rice this time, which is the royal endowment of the farm law.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Jin Shangshu usually makes deductions, but this month's Hong Kong investment is active. The cost of Yuegang City's shipping department and fleet construction, Ningyang Hou hopes that it can be converted into silver at the price of Fujian's grain, a total of 20 silver coins. Jin Lian is actually willing to pay 15 yuan."

"Otherwise I would have made a fortune by myself, what a pity."

The Yuegang City Shipping Department, grain ships, and warships need to pay 20 taels of silver coins. Zhu Qiyu waited for Jin Lian to refute the matter. Isn't the Yuegang City Shipping Department becoming the emperor's internal money?

But Jin Lian is not stupid. Hearing this, he immediately asked the court to pay at least 15 yuan. In this way, about [-]% of Yuegang's tax revenue will go to the court, and only [-]% will go to Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu didn't grind his teeth with Jin Lian, and agreed with Jin Lian's idea.

The imperial court is a mill, and the owner of the mill took the lead in kicking down the mill, which is what Zhu Mingmen would do.

Since the imperial court is willing to invest and is willing to set up a shipping department, it would be great.

"Jin Shangshu doesn't know anything else, but it's Men Qing'er who settles accounts. Although it's not his money, it's in his hands." Xing'an also shook his head. He still remembered Jin Lian's appearance when he was in a hurry to participate in the investment, just like Zhu Jianji was robbed of his toys by others.

"Has the edict I gave to Marquis Wuqing arrived at Shuofang Mansion?" The Ming army's squadron will be in March when the spring is warm, but now Shi Heng is still in the Hetao area, and the Siwu Regiment Battalion and the Siyong Regiment Battalion are starting to prepare for the squadron. , The Siwei Regiment Battalion is taking over the defense of the Hetao area in an all-round way.

"According to the time, it should be here." Xing'an pinched his fingers and calculated, even if the road was blocked by heavy snow, it should be here.

Zhu Qiyu's edict was not delayed. Although the construction of the official road and post road in the Hetao area had to be stopped due to the cold weather, the main road was still passable.

Shi Heng, Yang Jun, Liu An, Sun Tong, Jiang Yuan, Lin Cong, Wang Yue, Xu Youzhen, Chen Yi and others sat in the mansion of Shuofang Mansion. Although the mansion was dilapidated, it was enough to keep out the cold.

What lineup is this?

The generals of the battle of the capital with four miraculous merit cards, the chief examiner of the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, the new Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, the local governor for many years, two censors with rich experience in water control, and an army of more than [-].

This is the lineup that Zhu Qiyu sent to the three prefectures of Hetao.

Such a lineup, if taken to the grassland, is enough to establish a tribe that is not inferior to Tatar and Wuliangha. Even if it is taken to Taixi (Europe), it is enough to wipe out the super lineup of several countries.

It can be seen that the Ming emperor was determined to win the Hetao area.

Shi Heng sat up straight and said: "Your Majesty has issued an edict to let us live in a stable place. When the Siwu and Siyong battalions leave, half of the commanders will be left behind to train the volunteers."

"His Majesty issued the highest order, one hundred thousand soldiers, one inch of blood! People in Jing'an must learn to use their own hands to protect their fields and families."

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Shi Heng's understanding of His Majesty's military and political victories is very simple. In his opinion, it is the same as the Ming Emperor in the court.

Jin Yiwei's big Han general held a knife all day, outside Fengtian Hall, when Lu Zhong yelled, whoever dares to force the palace is a military victory.

Then the great emperor repeatedly proved himself right, and finally won the political victory.

The same is true in Hetao. The Ming army punished the people and punished crimes. Wang Shi drove away the Wala people and the Qu family, appeased the people, punished the sinners, used knives to make people obedient, and then used various means to resettle the people and operate Hetao.

But His Majesty's method is obviously much stronger than Shi Heng who collects taxes like the autumn wind.

In the Hetao area, there are only less than [-] Siwei regiments enough?

Apparently enough.

Shi Heng continued to tremble and said: "Your Majesty has made it clear that when necessary, the Siwei regiment can recruit volunteers to train and join the army, and cooperate in combat. We must ensure that any invading enemy will never return!"

Many generals sat up straight and said loudly: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

Liu An and Sun Tong breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that the Siwu and Siyong regiments had left the Hetao. What if they couldn't hold the Hetao?

Just like when Chengshan Bo Wangtong was defeated in Jiaozhi, he was finally defeated, and he also privately ceded the land to Li Li, the emperor of the Annan Li Dynasty who proclaimed himself emperor.

Wang Tong's crime of abandoning the land and defeating the war was pardoned during the orthodox years. Uncle Sun Zhong of Huichang gave Wang Tong more than a dozen hectares of land for living. Recently, some people clamored to use Wang Tong again.

During the Zhengtong period, demons, monsters, monsters and ghosts were really rampant.

But this is the Jingtai period, if he loses the battle, he may only have a dead end.

But fortunately, Emperor Ming gave them the right to recruit volunteers to train during wartime, which is the right thing to do in a new land.

Xu Youzhen asked suspiciously: "Has Your Majesty replied about the expenditure of Jingtai'an Minqu?"

Shi Heng said with a smile: "Here is the edict, Xu Yushi can read it for himself."

Xu Youzhen took over the edict and breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty the Great Emperor is really generous. The 300 million silver coins will be divided into three years and will be jointly paid by the internal and national funds for the comfort of the people.

Chen Yi took a sip of tea and said in a low voice: "Xu Yushi, this money can be earmarked for its own use. I don't know how many people in the imperial court are waiting to expose Xu Yushi's background and put you to death."

Your Majesty is strictly investigating corruption and perverting the law. If Xu Youzhen spends all the 300 million taels, but there is no effect, I am afraid that he will be impeached tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow he will be taken to the capital to be beheaded for public display.

In the eyes of those censors in the court, Xu Youzhen is a dead fish that can be hung on a hook at any time.

After all, if he is on the wrong team, he can still get the top card. If he doesn't die, who will die?

Xu Youzhen sneered and said, "Your Majesty has sent people from Jishou!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head, His Majesty is tolerant, Xu Youzhen has the ability to control water, so he won't die in a hurry.

Is Xu Youzhen the only one in the world with the ability to control water?

The section of the Zhangqiu Canal broke the embankment, and they sent more than a dozen people in a row, but they all returned without success. Xu Youzhen managed that area very well. Facts have proved that Xu Youzhen is indeed a person capable of water control.

In fact, Shi Heng still has a secret decree, which is about Sai Yinbuhua, whose wife and children have already arrived at Shuofang Mansion.

Chapter 3 and Six

As an honored minister, Shi Heng chose to leave after reading His Majesty's edict, and Yang Jun also left. They will all leave Hetao and return to Beijing in the near future.

Shi Heng came to Shuofang Mansion Tai'an Gate, waiting for Sai Yinbuhua's wife and children to come to Shuofang Mansion.

The wind in the grassland has always been strong, and even in winter, there is a stern wailing, which will not stop all day long.

In the sky, the straggling swan geese screamed and fell to the ground, just under the courtyard wall of the carriage and horse station, where a few cold plum blossoms bloomed alone.

The swan goose was as thin as a stick, and when it fell to the ground, it swallowed its breath.

Shi Heng wore a big cloak and waited in the snowstorm, until he saw a dilapidated car coming from a distance between the snow-covered mountains.

Those are Sai Yin Buhua's wife and children, Yin Shi and their two children.

Shi Heng shook his cloak, snowflakes fell one after another.

Yin's clothes were very thin. In such a cold weather, she was only wearing a small jacket. Her face was like wood, and she was quite thin. Yin walked out of the car trembling slightly. When the cold wind blew, she Shivering from the cold.

The two children were tightly wrapped, and they got out of the car carefully, and saw Shi Heng, who was as strong as a hill, with a hulking waist.

Li Yongchang glanced at Shi Heng to make sure that this was Sai Yin Buhua's wife and child.

Naturally, Shi Heng had met Sai Yin Buhua's wife and children. At the beginning, everyone was messing around in Hetao, and the two children grew from urchins to half-children.

He nodded, and Li Yongchang opened the imperial decree and said, "The Yin family accepts the decree."

Yin's clothes were thin, but she still knelt on the snow in the post station, her teeth were chattering, and she said tremblingly: "The grassroots accept the order."

Saiyin must die if he does not spend money, and the two children must change their surnames to Yin. Yin and the two children must be exiled to a place of smog.

This is the punishment for traitors.

Li Yongchang rolled up the imperial decree, but did not give it to the Yin family. The satin surface of this imperial decree is complicated to make, but it is a rare thing among the people. Take it back to the capital, tear off the pasted paper, and it can be used again.

When can the imperial decree of Ming Dynasty be recycled?

Your Majesty is still thrifty, and the lamps in Tai'an Palace only have one wick.

Yin shivered, buried her head in the snow, and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Can live, but can't live well.

Shi Heng clapped his hands, and three relatives came over. They held three cloaks and handed them to Yin Shi and the two children.
