Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 388 Sing and Harmony

Zhu Yunying is an ambitious and ambitious emperor. Although starting to attack the Southeast Asian countries now, it seems that there will not be much benefit in a short period of time. It may be that the court needs to invest a lot of resources without much return.

But for Zhu Yunying, he not only sees the next ten or 20 years, but also sees a hundred or a thousand years.

At this time, we need to show some courage, and at this time, we need to lay a solid foundation in advance.Since I have the opportunity to do these things, there is no need for those future generations to worry about these things. Zhu Yunying thinks that those who are capable will work harder.

At this time, Zhu Yunying continued, "I have also thought about it carefully over the years. Although Daming's fleet traveled to and from Nanyang, it went east to Dongying. I thought that Daming was the center of heaven and earth, but looking at it now, there is a larger boundary outside. "

As a former liberal arts student, geography still needs to be studied, not only to have a better understanding of domestic maps, but also to understand world maps.

It's just that Zhu Yunying has drawn a rough map of the world now, not to mention the accuracy and inaccuracy, some things are not convincing just by taking out a map.After all, the people of Daming now don't know much about the outside world.The officials of Ming Dynasty are also relatively unfamiliar with the outside world.

What's more, Zhu Yunying is not narcissistic. If he takes out a map, there will be countless people under him who will not doubt it, and then swarm to execute it.Even if it was a line of thought, those people just thought that they did not do well, not that the emperor made a mistake.

The thought of loyalty to the emperor and the awe of the imperial power can sometimes constrain some people's thinking, and it is not suitable to show something now.

It still needs to be explored, and some more convincing actual situations are needed. This is also a situation that Zhu Yunying hopes to see now.

"I'm going to build a new ship. Da Ming can't rest on its laurels. Before that, Da Ming had some contacts with the surrounding vassal states, but this was not enough. I think that Da Ming should send a powerful navy to subdue all states and promote the country's prestige. What's more is Today, the textiles, pottery, and ironware of the Ming Dynasty are excellent, and the sea trade can make a lot of profits, and they can also get spices from the Southeast Asian countries."

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, everyone naturally had no opinion.Because Shibo is doing this now, and many people have seen the benefits of it, and can get a share of it. Of course, such a thing can happen.

The emperor is only expanding the scale of the sea trade now, and he just wants the fleet to go further. Naturally, everyone doesn't think there is anything wrong. This is a matter of course.

Many people even feel that this is not enough. The maritime trade in the Song Dynasty was very good. Some things that the Ming Dynasty is doing now basically reached the level of the Song Dynasty. It has not yet completed some transcendence. This is obviously not enough. Daming should be even better and stronger.

Zhu Yunying was also quite proud, and continued, "I think everyone knows that we got a job from the emperor's grandfather a few years ago. We were in charge of the city ship department, controlled the Longjiang Shipyard, and controlled many naval divisions in Ming Dynasty."

Lao Zhu was even more proud at this time, pointing to Xu Huizu and the others and said, "You are quite capable, and Mu Chun also fought with your father early. You must have been more than ten years old at that time, right? Emperor, He was in charge of the shipyard when he was less than ten years old, and most of them are masters of the Ming Navy!"

This is a bit exaggerated. Zhu Yunying did have a lot of rights at that time, but Lao Zhu made Zhu Yunying's age a little younger, and also made Zhu Yunying's rights and achievements a little bigger.

As for Lao Zhu's mind, it is naturally simple, of course, it is to prove that Zhu Yunying is a genius, and he has made great achievements at a young age.

At this time, Zhu Yunying continued, "Our naval division in the Ming Dynasty is strong in itself, and we have found many ship maps of the Song Dynasty over the years. Everyone knows about Fuchuan, Shachuan, and Guangchuan. Now we The ships of the Ming Dynasty are even more exquisite and powerful, and you may not know that our sea ships of the Ming Dynasty raise pigs, grow vegetables, and grow medicinal materials on board."

Zhu Yunying has reason to be proud. There are records that there were ships of ten thousand stones in the Song Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty can also do this, and even go a step further. This is also continuous technological progress.

It's true that Daming still can't build a large ship longer than [-] meters, but the scale is about the same.A rudder pole is ten meters long, which is relatively easy for Daming, and a large ship of this size can be proud of the world in this day and age.

Zhu Yunying can be very proud and confident to start preparations for the voyage to the West. The fleet of the Ming Dynasty is very large.And no matter whether it was doing business in Nanyang or developing in Dongying, the Ming Dynasty had enough experienced sailors and sailors.

Those skilled boatmen and captains can also make it easier for Daming to form a powerful fleet.Not only do you have to bring goods and merchants, but you can also bring a lot of soldiers. Of course, you can give a lesson to those who are not convinced by Wanghua.

Now that the foundation is relatively solid, it is natural to consider doing some big moves at this time, and now it is a matter of course.

Zhu Yunying looked at the crowd and continued, "I wanted to open up a lot of granaries before, and I think everyone knows it well."

Everyone really knows about this matter. The development of Jingxiang has traces to follow. For example, Daming is now adjusting the guards, and the military households in the fields are moving towards Jingxiang. Well, it's no secret.

Zhu Yunying continued, "I also want to develop the Northwest. It is a good horse ranch, which can weaken those Tartars. The Southwest is also very good, but there are many smog and jungles, and the barbarians are not easy to subdue."

This is naturally the key point, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor has made up his mind at this time.Even if there are various development difficulties in those places, the emperor will develop those places sooner or later, so as to build more foundations and lay a more solid foundation for Daming's food security.

At this time, Lao Zhu said directly, "We will talk about those places later, the land of Liaodong is the key point. We must control Liaodong so that we can rule Koryo and Dongying. Moreover, if the Tartars go south on the grassland, the land of Liaodong can send troops quickly."

"Yes!" Zhu Yunying immediately cheered. He and Lao Zhu had communicated about these things a long time ago. The stationed there are mostly soldiers."

Chang Mao suddenly got excited, the Supreme Emperor and the emperor were singing together, and it was obvious that some policies should be introduced logically, some things that His Majesty the Emperor gave him in advance a few days ago.

Xu Huizu and the others were also frowning at this time. They naturally knew about places like Liaodong. They also knew that Liaodong today is a place of bitter cold. Ordinary people would not want to go to those places.

Zhu Yunying continued, "If people are relocated, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties, and there may be quite a lot of public grievances. It's just for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and the land of Liaodong must also be healed."

Chang Mao knew that he had to stand up at this time, and he could bear some infamy. He was just a gangster anyway, and he didn't care about reputation or anything like that.But his nephew emperor must be a wise and powerful emperor, no one can let his nephew emperor's reputation be damaged.

"Your Majesty, if you want to conquer Nanyang, you can plunder its people!" Chang Mao said directly, and had a showdown, "We Da Ming plundered its people and weakened its country, so that we can plot against its country!"

Chang Mao's words are very straightforward. The Southeast Asian countries may not be captured and governed in a short time, and there will inevitably be a lot of resistance there.Then just simply weaken those countries, such as taking away the people. Human resources are a proof of strength in this era.

Xu Huizu couldn't help frowning at this proposal. This is definitely a poisonous technique. This is definitely a cruel plan. Once it is said, it will definitely arouse the opposition of countless civil servants.

But if you think about it carefully, this policy seems to be good.Although it is quite unfriendly to the Nanyang countries, but if you think about it, it is relatively friendly to the people of Daming, and will not cause too much resentment in Daming, and will not arouse public anger.

At this time, other people seem to dare not speak up, because once they agree with and support such a policy, they will inevitably bear some infamy.

Chang Mao looked at the others anxiously, gritted his teeth and continued, "Your Majesty intended to reclaim new fields and set up public and private fields. Let us say that if people from the Nanyang countries were plundered to reclaim land in Liaodong, our Daming farmland will inevitably increase. "

At this time, other people couldn't help but look at Chang Mao a few more times. It wasn't that Shibie took three days to look at him with admiration, but that he felt that judging from Chang Mao's past performance, this guy was absolutely incapable of coming up with such a strategy. Chang Mao couldn't think of even a poisonous plan.

So look at the emperor who has nothing to do with him, and think about the relationship between the emperor and Chang Mao. Maybe Chang Mao knew about these things before, and the emperor instructed Chang Mao to come forward to propose.

Old Zhu couldn't help but scolded, "Everyone says you're a jerk and a dandy, but we still underestimate you! You are the Duke of Ming Dynasty and the emperor's uncle! The emperor and you have thousands of hectares of fertile land, you don't want to share your worries, I want the emperor to bear this infamy!"

Chang Mao was stunned. Although there were many fertile fields in the mansion, there was no 'ten thousand hectares of fertile land' at all.Could it be that this is a reward from the Supreme Emperor?

The clever Chang Mao immediately knelt down and said bitterly, "Your Majesty, the good land is all in Liaodong, and it's all black soil. But I can't recruit anyone to cultivate it, so I can only watch it!"

Old Zhu scolded and said, "They are all prodigal sons. If you are given so many fields, who can you blame if you can't get them out?! If the emperor really wants to give you ten thousand hectares of reclaimed fields, you can eat ready-made ones?!"

"I know I'm wrong!" Chang Mao didn't panic, but said, "Your Majesty, I can't live up to the grace. It's just that I think that opening up the fields is a hard thing, and the people of Ming Dynasty absolutely don't want to go to Liaodong."

Old Zhu looked at Chang Mao, and said word by word, "I know about the bitter cold in Liaodong. You remember it for me, don't treat the people of the people harshly. If you dare to treat the people of the people harshly, even if the emperor stops me, I will I can't spare you!"
