Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 90: Sangui for Sale (Subscribe)
"oops!"

Zhu Biao, who had just walked out of the Wenhua Palace, patted himself on the head.

Zhu Biao had another big event today besides the things on the brochure. He wanted to communicate with Lao Zhu, but he didn't remember it until he was kicked out of the Wenhua Palace by Lao Zhu.

After looking at Empress Ma who had not returned to Kunning Palace, Zhu Biao felt that it was inappropriate to go in and disturb the two of them now. What if he went in and saw Empress Ma beating Lao Zhu?
Is Lao Zhu keeping his mouth shut, or is he keeping his mouth shut?

"Forget it, I'm afraid Ban Zhu's hair will turn white recently. The few machine tools I gave are not so simple and can be made. Even if they are not the precision machine tools of later generations, the simple ones are enough for Ban Zhu It's done research, let's talk about it later!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao turned around and headed towards the library in the palace. There were not only the books here, but also many books brought back from the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao focused on two of them, one was the blueprints of treasure ships left over from the Yuan Dynasty, and the other was the blueprints of sea-going ships that had been developed for more than 200 years in the late Ming Dynasty.

Now the navy under Lao Zhu can be said to be indescribable. The foundation of the Daming Navy is the 1 yuan court water army and [-] naval warships led by Chaohu commander Liao Yong'an in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, Liao Yong'an returned to Lao Zhu to form The foundation of the Great Ming Navy.

After the surrender of Liao Yongan, Lao Zhu began to incorporate the Yuan Dynasty navy one after another, and then took control of the Yangtze River.

And Liao Yongan made many military exploits after he surrendered to Lao Zhu. Until the 17th year of Zhengzheng, when he followed Xu Da to recover Yixing, he was defeated by Wu general Lu Zhen because he went deep into Taihu Lake. After being captured, he finally died in prison. .

Even when Lao Zhu got the news of Liao Yongan's death, he heard that he was crying in pain at that time. As for whether it is true or not, it needs to be verified. After all, he was captured in 17 years and Liao Yongan died in 25 years. Zhongke already said that, as for what the truth is, Zhu Biao didn't bother to care about it.

However, Liao Yongan also has a younger brother who is still serving in the Ming army. He is Liao Yongzhong. He participated in the battle of Panyang Lake.

As for sea battles, I'm sorry, Ming Dynasty has no navy yet, and even now the warships of Ming Dynasty can't go out to sea. There is no such statement in the decree issued in the 26th year of Jiajing.

Navigation in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties was extremely developed.

In the early days of Hongwu, the sea ban was also a last resort. The Ming Dynasty did not have its own sea power. In the first few years after the founding of the country, it was spent on restoring people's livelihood. How could it have the energy to build a navy that required a lot of money.

Therefore, in order to defend against the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, Lao Zhu simply ordered the sea ban, which not only saves trouble, but also saves a lot of money.

Another reason is also related to the strict policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce" in the early Ming Dynasty. Of course, now that Zhu Biao has come, this policy issue has been explained clearly with Lao Zhu, and at the same time, it is also explained in the history of the Ming Dynasty in another world. Understood.

But now Daming can't change this policy, because Daming is short of food, so it can only temporarily maintain tax revenue to ensure the combat power of Daming's million-strong army. If the grain tax is reduced now, the soldiers of Daming may starve to death.

However, the business tax has been gradually increased under Lao Zhu's strength. Although it is still not as much as the people who farm the land, it is a good thing to be able to increase. After the business tax gets higher and higher and reaches a balance, Daming will not No matter how short of money there is, once there is no shortage of money, the reduction of grain tax is inevitable.

Finally, there is another reason, that is, the active private maritime trade, the people along the coast went to the sea to make a living, and even communicated with Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen's remnants, which caused great troubles in the early Ming Dynasty.

That's why they had no choice but to carry out the sea ban directly. If Daming was able to take action at that time, and had a navy that could take action, there would be no way for these remaining evils to survive.

Not to mention that now that there is a large general gun with an extremely long range, the soldiers of the navy don't even need to go ashore, as long as the island is smaller, they can directly cover it with firepower.

It's a pity that what Daming lacks now is sea ships and a navy. Originally, another goal of Zhu Biao's arrival today was to communicate with Lao Zhu, whether it is possible to separate the navy from the five armies and set up a separate naval department.

After all, the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies is in charge of all the armies, and the navy is neither fish nor fowl in the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies. At the same time, Zhu Biao also wants to play Lao Zhu to select soldiers who are proficient in water warfare and start training to form a navy.

If Lao Zhu agrees, Zhu Biao will be able to lead out and build the ship. This is why Zhu Biao is looking for blueprints of distant sea treasure ships of the Yuan Dynasty and world sea ships of the late Ming Dynasty.

It was a huge expense to ask Lao Zhu for money, people, and shipbuilding. Zhu Biao said that the East Palace didn't have that much money at all, so he had to ask Lao Zhu for it.

It's a pity that before he opened his mouth, he was kicked out of the Wenhua Palace by Lao Zhu in a daze, but Empress Ma was left behind. I don't know what the two of them were discussing secretly.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, I'll ask Lao Zhu for money another day, first go to the Library Pavilion to find if there are any blueprints for the treasure ship." Zhu Biao shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Wang Yong, don't go back to the East Palace now, go to Zangshu Pavilion, I want to find something."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Yong hurriedly led the way to Zangshu Pavilion. Wang Yong had no chance to go to the new world before, but Zhu Biao did not forget him. He gave Wang Yong a copy of the medicine and exercises. At that time, Zhu Biao still regretted that there was no Sunflower Collection in the Great Ming World, which was a pity, otherwise Wang Yongfu might still be able to get the title of "Sunflower Patriarch".

After Zhu Biao left, Empress Ma waited for a while before leaving the Wenhua Hall. After Empress Ma left, there seemed to be crying sounds in the Wenhua Hall, and there seemed to be no sound. As for whether there was any, it depends on who has the courage Go ask our Hongwu Emperor.

Lao Zhu, who was staying in the Wenhua Palace at the moment, was indeed 'moved' to tears by Empress Ma. This time, Empress Ma had to leave more than 100 million taels of silver in order to arrange for the orphans and widows who died for the country.

"Decree Lu Chang, hurry up and take the silver out of my inner treasury, and don't let me ask for these silver again." Old Zhu's voice of gritting his teeth came from the Wenhua Palace.

Out of sight and out of mind, Lao Zhu simply allocated the money to the state treasury and put it in his own private treasury. No matter who asked for money, Lao Zhu always felt like spending his own money. Lao Zhu didn't like it, so Directly let Lu Chang, who has always wanted to get tens of millions of silver into the treasury, take all the silver away.

"My lord, this is a letter from Dorgon and Qierhalang of the Qing Dynasty."

"Put it on the table!" A middle-aged man holding a military book in his hand responded without raising his head.

If you take a look at this person's desk, you can see more than one letter from the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the documents from the Qing Dynasty, there is also more than one letter written by Dashun Li Zicheng on the desk.

And this person is Wu Sangui, who is famous for guarding Shanhaiguan. As a result, the first thought of everyone who encountered Manchu and Qing cavalry on the battlefield was to escape.

There is also the classic saying that the Qing Dynasty is not full of ten thousand, and full of ten thousand is invincible.

If it weren't for the fact that the Manchu cavalry never left any survivors on the battlefield and slaughtered the city at every turn, how could they rule the hundreds of millions of people in our Ming Dynasty with the population of the Manchu Qing? Everyone was scared out of their wits, and the group of vested interests who surrendered to the Manchu Qing acted as a tiger.

In fact, the most important thing is for the surrenders to help the Manchus oppress the Chinese people, otherwise how could the Manchus surpass the century-old national destiny.

It's a pity, a pity.

Fortunately, hundreds of years later, the land of China is still ignited with raging fire, and once again someone holds the flag to reopen the world for the people of the world.

Just like Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, expelling the Tartars, so that the Han people can stand upright again and behave in an upright manner.

The middle-aged man who was reading the book, seeing his subordinates backing off, didn't rush to open the letter to check the information written in it, but continued to look at the book in his hand without haste.

Especially for the letters from the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui knew for a long time that the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty had already come towards Shanhaiguan under the leadership of Dorgon.

At the same time, the Qing Dynasty kept sending letters to him, just to win him over, hoping that he could open the Shanhaiguan Pass and let them enter the customs with 10,000+ cavalry from the Qing Dynasty.

In Li Zicheng's letter, he also wooed himself, hoping that he would garrison Shanhaiguan and prevent the Qing cavalry from entering the customs. After he finished cleaning up the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely have high officials and rich salary.

Wu Sangui has not yet decided who to turn to, but no matter who he surrenders to, Wu Sangui will not surrender the military power in his hands, because he knows the reason why both parties are wooing him at this time. The Guanning iron cavalry in his hand.

If there is no Shanhaiguan Xiongguan, and there is no famous Guanning iron cavalry, Wu Sangui is not a fart in the eyes of these people.

And he has not responded to these two people for a long time, and it is just for sale, because he feels that it is not the last moment, and I am afraid that Dashun and Daqing will not show their last cards to attract him, and Now no one can tell who will win the world in the end, but based on the information he has collected, Wu Sangui feels that Li Zicheng is a bit difficult to accomplish.

Wu Sangui's guess was not bad. He eventually surrendered to the Qing Dynasty because the Qing Dynasty agreed to crown him king, but Li Zicheng, who also came from a small farmer, was unwilling to crown him king. A sharp knife used by the Qing Dynasty to slaughter our Han people.

A difference in one thought, maybe another world, no one can tell.

It's a pity that Wu Sangui may not be able to wait for Li Zicheng's letter in the future. The heavy rain some time ago may have grown grass on Lao Li's grave now.

It wasn't until the sunset that Wu Sangui took out the letters from Dorgon and Qierhalang, checked them, and found one letter for each person, most of the words were solicitation, you must know that Huang Taiji has been dead for about a year now.

The identities of Dorgon and Qierhalang as assistant kings assisted Huang Taiji's nine sons, Fulin, to ascend to the throne. After that, Dorgon took a step closer to surpassing Zierhalang and became the regent of the Qing Dynasty.

But in this life, Zhu Biao has already prepared to send him to see Huang Taiji and Nurhachi. As for the bullshit love story between Dorgon and Borzigit Bumbutai, Zhu Biao is not in the mood to go listen.

The generals, including Lao Zhu and Hongwu, were not in the mood to listen. In fact, Dorgon was unlucky this time. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Han people probably hated the Mongol Yuan and Jurchen people the most.

The Yuan Dynasty has just been destroyed, and now there is a foreign invasion, I am afraid that Xu Da will directly vent his resentment for not catching Emperor Yuan Shun on the Qing Dynasty and Dorgon, but he does not know whether Dorgon can withstand the anger of Ming Dynasty .

Before Zhu Biao left, he had already made arrangements. Once he met Da Qing, he immediately asked Xu Da to send someone to inform him. It was Zhu Biao who wanted to prevent Xu Da and other famous generals from meeting Da Qing immediately. , and wiped out the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't it be impossible for him to kill a few of them himself?

Although Zhu Biao is not curious about the love story between Dorgon and Borjijit Bumbutai (Da Yuer), Zhu Biao is curious about how Da Yuer, a widow with a son, deceived Dorgon She was willing to help her out, and she was dug by Shunzhi the second year after Dorgon was buried. Did Dorgon really sleep with Shunzhi's mother?
Zhu Biao was curious about what kind of charm Borzigit Bumbutai had that made Dorgon so obsessed. Could it be that he looks like a fish and a wild goose, which really made Zhu Biao want to meet Dayuer.
