At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 521 I'm Seasick

Zhu Qizhen walked away with a smile on his face.

Aren't you willing to sing praises to the Japanese country? Well, everyone present counts as one, and they all go to see how advanced the Japanese country is, and learn how to govern the world!

Since the birth of the word Donglin Academy, he has been thinking about it.

These people should be thankful that they were just showing off their tongues and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Otherwise, it would have been killed with a click.

The coup planned by Sanyang involved a lot. According to incomplete statistics, the number of people implicated has reached 30, and it doesn't matter to kill a few thousand more.

After such a big event happened, it stands to reason that these people should learn a lesson, keep up with the current trend, change the previous vain style, and turn to be pragmatic and practical. As long as they make contributions to the court, they will be able to achieve success in the future. .

Unexpectedly, not only did they not know how to repent, but they still wanted to play tricks.

If I don’t clean it up for you today, it’s a waste of time!
The entire capital was boiling again, and the Confucianism upsurge that had just started turned into a Confucianism tsunami. All the Confucian scholars who attended the banquet were counted as one, and they all went to Japan as envoys to seek the so-called way of governing the world.

In this list, apart from the Hanlin Academy, the largest group is Donglin Academy.

It is said that the imperial court attached great importance to it, and even Jin Yiwei was dispatched.

At this time, a circle of officers and soldiers surrounded the Jiangsu Guild Hall, and they were all armed with knives and guns, ready to fight.

The owner of this guild hall, Luo Yousheng, was originally a student from Wuxi. During the Xuande period, he went to Beijing to take the exam, but his grades were not satisfactory, and he was not listed in the three consecutive exams.

This person has been in the capital all year round, and found that there are many unsuccessful candidates like himself, and many people are unwilling to return to their hometowns, so they simply sold their ancestral home and land and opened a guild hall in the capital.

Now more than 20 years have passed, and the guild hall is getting bigger and bigger. On weekdays, children from Jiangsu go to Beijing to do business or visit friends, and almost all of them stay here, which seems to be the base camp of Jiangsu scholars.

Because of this, Luo Yousheng is well-known in Shilin only by virtue of his mere fame.

Sun Changhe brought many students to Beijing, and they naturally arranged them in the Jiangsu Guild Hall. He thought that after this lecture, Donglin Academy would definitely skyrocket, but unexpectedly, they were surrounded by people in an instant.

What's more, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Wantong personally led the team. This person is a newly promoted foreign relative with no foundation in the court. He is known for being ruthless in his daily affairs.

"My lord, we're just doing business here, so please hold your hands high and disperse the people, otherwise it will affect the business."

While talking, Luo Yousheng quietly stuffed a stack of bank notes into Wantong's hand.

Wantong smiled and said, "Do you still want to do business?"

"what?"

Luo Yousheng was a little surprised, what does this mean?
Even if Sun Changhe and others are sent to Japan as an envoy, that is their business. What does it have to do with me, who runs an inn?
"Excuse me for being abrupt, you just said..."

Wantong patted his chest with his hand and returned the silver ticket.

"Jin Yiwei handles the case, so I don't need to explain it to you!"

"My lord, my lord!"

Luo Yousheng thought that the other party was too small, so he quickly took out another stack and stuffed it into Wantong's hands again.

"My lord Wang from the Imperial Academy also has some friendship with me, so please don't hang around here for your convenience."

"Do you not understand human speech?"

Wantong suddenly lowered his face, threw the bank note on the ground, and said, "A few days ago, Sun Changhai, the member of the etiquette department, made a memorial. Does it have your signature on it?"

Luo Yousheng looked stunned and nodded dully.

In that memorandum, not only my signature was signed, but there were at least dozens of them, all of whom were famous gentry from all over the country.

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with him at first, but I just heard from the students of Donglin Academy that if this memorial was submitted to the imperial court, it would have a huge impact on the future situation of the world, so through Sun Changhe's relationship, the memorial was added. own name.

It's nothing more than arty, hoping to have a place among scholars, nothing more.

Wantong sneered and said: "That's right, your name, Luo Yousheng, is also on the list of envoys to Japan this time."

After hearing this, Luo Yousheng's face turned pale and he almost couldn't stand still.

What's the matter with me?
I am an innkeeper now, I just want to take this opportunity to gain fame, I am wronged!
"According to the imperial decree, you have five days to prepare. After five days, board the ship from Tianjin Port on time. If you delay the trip, you will bear the consequences."

Luo Yousheng thought about it for a while, what if I delayed the trip, so I don't have to go?
"My lord, if there is a delay..."

"That's disobeying the order and disrespecting, copying and beheading the whole family!"

Pfft!
Luo Yousheng only felt his eyes go dark, and he fainted to the ground.

Wantong didn't intend to let him go, he waved and called two school captains over, and ordered: "Take care of him, don't leave this hall at will, if you find him trying to escape, shoot him!"

"Yes!"

The two carried Luo Yousheng back to the room, and the corridor was full of noise, mixed with crying.

"I'm not from Jiangsu, I'm from Zhejiang, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, you can check it!"

Seeing that this person shouted the loudest, Wantong asked, "What's your name?"

"Xia Shaopeng!"

Wantong opened the list he carried with him, and immediately closed it again.

"The first one under Donglin Academy's command is you, so get ready and board the ship in five days!"

Xia Shaopeng hurriedly said: "I still have my wife, children and parents in my hometown. If I leave, what will they do?"

Wantong smiled disapprovingly, and said: "You don't need to worry about this. The Jinyiwei stationed in Nanjing has already started notifying the family members one by one. If they want to, they can go with you. The court will be responsible for all board and lodging along the way."

After Xia Shaopeng heard it, his eyes were red, and he roared: "Let me go, I won't go, I won't go to that bird place!"

"Bold!"

Wantong pulled out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, and said angrily: "You can see clearly, this is an imperial decree, do you want to disobey the decree?"

Xia Shaopeng shivered with fright, and a warm current flowed from his crotch.

Seeing this, Wantong showed a look of disgust in his eyes, and said coldly: "It wasn't you who kept saying that the Wa country has a way of governing the world, and now you have regretted it?"

"me……"

Xia Shaopeng wanted to cry, but we didn't have any tears. We said these words just to suppress the Academy of Sciences.

Who knew this was a trick, the emperor had prepared it long ago, waiting for us to drill into it...

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and prepare, and board the ship in five days!"

"But I... I'm seasick!"

Xia Shaopeng knelt on the ground, crying and said: "To be honest, I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and I get dizzy whenever I take a boat. Please tell the lord, can you..."

"cannot!"

Wantong interrupted him mercilessly, and said: "There are doctors and medicinal materials on board, don't worry, the emperor is sending you on a mission, not sending you into exile, the most basic guarantee must be there."

"Guan Ye Mingjian, this disease is congenital, it was born in the womb, and I have found many doctors, but it is not good. If it takes a long time, I am afraid... my life is in danger..."

Xia Shaopeng is also going all out, as long as he can stay and go, he is willing to call himself a dog!
Wantong kicked him away, and said coldly: "Life and death are fate, you found it yourself!"
-
After getting the news, Shi Heng was very excited.

Originally, the country of Wa was very short of people, but now it is all right, and thousands of Confucian scholars are sent over at once, and some of these people have families with their families. This is a ready-made labor force!
"Your Majesty, this move of yours is simply brilliant, I admire you!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at him indifferently, and asked, "What's so clever?"

"Are you planning to..."

Shi Heng subconsciously looked at Wynn aside and lowered his voice.

Wynn's expression is very awkward. You can talk as soon as you speak. What are you looking at me for?

Zhu Qizhen asked with interest: "What do you think I plan to do?"

Shi Heng seemed to be a little worried, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "These thoughts are just my guesses. If you say something wrong, your majesty, you are just talking nonsense, and you can't be blamed."

"Okay, I don't blame you, just tell me!"

"Yes!"

Shi Heng suddenly became cautious, and said seriously: "Is the emperor planning...to use these Confucian scholars as pioneers to bring the Wa country into our Ming territory!"

Zhu Qizhen asked puzzled, "How did you deduce it?"

Shi Heng scratched his head and said: "I just feel that the emperor must have deep meaning in doing things. This time it is definitely not simply sending people away."

"and then?"

"Then... the Wa Kingdom has the same origin as our dynasty, and has always admired Chinese culture. Thousands of Confucian scholars have arrived in the Wa Kingdom, and they will be reused. Within three years, these people will be all over the Wa Kingdom. They will decide the future of the Wa Kingdom. towards."

Zhu Qizhen listened with relish, and said, "Go ahead!"

Shi Heng nodded, and said: "This is what I think. After getting these Confucian scholars, the Japanese kingdom will definitely learn our culture in all aspects, and gradually reorganize the imperial government institutions and yamen in various places. When the time is right, the emperor will find a reason to send troops to wipe them out." , At that time, there is no need to make any changes at all, just change the name, and the three islands of the Wa country will become the three states of Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"Beautiful fart!"

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help complaining, and said: "I just see them upset, so I can send them out. You have a lot of ideas."

Shi Heng smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm talking nonsense..."

"I'm telling you the truth!"

Zhu Qizhen ordered Wynn to take out the map of the Wa Kingdom, and an island in the southwest was circled by Zhu Bi.

"This is the silver mine you were talking about, isn't it?"

"right here!"

"Ichiichi Kaneyo promised to give me two ports, and I will choose one here."

Shi Heng looked delighted, and said: "In this way, the sea transportation will be more convenient."

Zhu Qizhen continued: "This area is the area you want to control. No matter what method you use, it doesn't matter whether you relocate the people or regulate the local people. In short, the people here must speak Chinese, understand?"

Shi Heng nodded and said, "I understand."

The result of the last discussion between the monarch and his ministers started from here.

Occupy the silver mine, and at the same time occupy the land.

Zhu Qizhen said: "This time Confucian scholars are envoys to Japan, and some of them have already developed hatred for Sun Changhe and other diehards. You have to make full use of them. If you sincerely repent, you can give them a chance to enter your control area. , differentiate from the inside, understand?"

Shi Heng suddenly realized that these Confucian scholars were not monolithic. The reason why they were able to form a group was that they had the same enemy, the Academy of Sciences.

When Daming actually controls the silver mines on Sado Island, the conditions here will definitely be better than those in other areas, and then the obedient ones will be accepted, and the disobedient ones will continue to stay where they are cool. These people will inevitably split inside, and the forces of the conservative faction will more and more vulnerable.

"The emperor is brilliant, and I admire him extremely!"

"Don't rush to admire, the task I have given you is very difficult."

Zhu Qizhen took out another plan and handed it to Shi Heng.

Shi Heng took it respectfully, opened it for a look, and frowned involuntarily.

This plan describes in detail how to lay out the future industry on the basis of the silver mine on Sado Island.

Naturally, Zhu Qizhen's vision is not limited to a few silver mines, he really wants to build this place into a sea transfer station.

From then on, the trade between Ming Dynasty and Japan, even the sea trade between Korea, Ryukyu, and Luzon Island, will all revolve around Sado Island.

At that time, from Quanzhou to Sado Island, and then to Luzon and Annan, a prosperous maritime trade route will be formed.

Shi Heng nodded solemnly, and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor, within three years, this plan will definitely be realized!"
-
At Tianjin Port, the fleet set sail.

The first batch of five large ships carried more than [-] people, all of whom were students and family members of Donglin Academy.

Due to the large number of people, some family members signed and went directly to the sea from Ningbo, Fuzhou and other places, and then joined together in the country of Wa.

Shi Heng stood on the deck of the flagship, facing the shining sun, heading east all the way.

"My lord, many people have symptoms of seasickness and vomiting!"

Shi Heng said blankly: "Feed them seasickness medicine."

"Eat it, most of it doesn't work."

"Then there is no way, let them bear it!"

"But... my lord, these are all scholars, and I am worried..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Shi Heng's expression darkened suddenly, and he said: "So what about scholars, if you go out to sea, you can only resign yourself to fate. Didn't you and I come here like this?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Three days later, many people on board began to get sick, with fever, vomiting, and diarrhea...

"My lord, there is a man named Xia Shaopeng who is dying."

"Are you out of breath?"

"Just going out but not going in, it seems that it really can't do it."

Shi Heng remained expressionless, and said, "Then don't waste food, throw it overboard!"

Two soldiers dragged Xia Shaopeng to the side of the ship, and Sun Changhe stumbled after him.

"He is a scholar, what are you doing?"

For the past three days, Sun Changhe has not had a good time, he vomited up after eating, his face was sallow and emaciated from hunger, and he had long since lost the air he had before going to sea.

"Scholars have to live. This guy can't stand it by himself. Who is to blame?"

"We are all envoys to go to sea, how can you be so rude, I want to see your officer!"

"Mr. Sun!"

Shi Heng stood behind him and said coldly: "Do you want to go down and accompany him?"

Sun Changhe only felt a shiver all over his body, looked up at Xia Shaopeng, then sighed, and walked back to the cabin by himself.
