I became a mysterious person in textbooks after being pushed by the emperors

Chapter 56
"His Majesty!"

Lu Bing walked in and saluted directly and respectfully.

Lu Bing's grandfather, Lu Chi, was a member of Jinyiwei with military status, his father, Lu Song, took over the post, and his mother was the wet nurse of Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty.

In the 17th year of Jiajing's reign, Shizong paid a visit to the imperial mausoleum and ordered Lu Bing to manage the affairs of Jinyiwei, with his retinue at his side.In the winter of the same year, he was awarded the post of commander of Jinyiwei.

In the 21st year of Jiajing, Renyin Palace changed.After hearing the news, Lu Bing rushed to rescue him, and brought the rebels to justice. Jiajing now trusted him more and more.

Hearing the description of Japanese pirates from Jiang Chen now, Jiajing immediately thought of Lu Bing.

"Lu Bing, I have something for you to do!"

Jiajing pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Your Majesty please order!"

Lu Bing straightened his expression and spoke respectfully.

For Lu Bing, Jiajing is heaven, and he knows exactly who gave him his wealth. It can be said that no one in the entire Jiajing Dynasty is more loyal than him.

"I've heard a secret report recently, saying that the Japanese pirates raging along the coast are people of our Ming Dynasty. I want you to investigate and confirm this matter!"

Zhu Houcong nodded, and then gave orders.

"Japanese pirates?"

"The people of Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, I will do it immediately!"

Lu Bing was a little puzzled and a little shocked, but he responded quickly.

"Go, I'll give you half a year to find out about this matter!"

Zhu Houcong nodded, then waved his hand.

But Lu Bing quickly bowed and retreated.

As soon as he left the palace, Lu Bing headed towards Jiangnan non-stop.

As the commander of Jin Yiwei, Lu Bing's movement instantly attracted the attention of the entire court.

Even the ministers couldn't help but panic.

We even started urgent negotiations.

But obviously, Jiajing didn't care about these at all. On the one hand, he was waiting for information from Lu Bing.

On the other hand, in the group chat, they listened to Jiang Chen's narration, and what he said about being a grandfather, not a grandfather.

Just like this moment, the group is still chatting hotly.

He didn't stop to communicate because he was temporarily offline.

"Sir, how could the people of the Ming Dynasty become Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Di couldn't help asking.

He looked a little bewildered.

Japanese pirates had long ceased to exist in the Yongle period, but there were still Japanese pirates in the Hongwu period, and Zhu Di also knew about this.

Those were indeed Japanese pirates, all of them were extremely short and looked like dwarves.

But now Jiang Chen actually told him that the Ming pirates in his later generations turned into Ming people.

Group leader Chen: "Hey, I have to ask Daming."

"What else is there, a sea ban makes people's lives miserable, and the officials force the people to rebel!"

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di: "How come?"

Group leader Chen: "Why not? The sea was banned in the Ming Dynasty, and slabs were not allowed to go into the sea. Do you think about how the people along the coast survive? Fortunately, the population in the early Ming Dynasty was only tens of millions, and the huge land was enough for the people to cultivate. Even if it was a little less, they would not be hungry Death, it can reach the Jiajing era, do you know how much the population of the Ming Dynasty was, [-] million, maybe even more, almost doubled, how to survive such a huge population, in order to survive, they can only go to the sea. If you are a court criminal, you might as well be a Japanese pirate.”

Ming Chengzu "This, this!"

Group leader Chen: "Hey, not only the Japanese pirates were from the Ming Dynasty, but the leaders of the Japanese pirates were also from the Ming Dynasty. If I remember correctly during the Jiajing era, the famous Japanese pirate leaders, such as Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Wu Ping, Deng Wenjun, Zeng Yiben, etc. The people are all from the Ming Dynasty, and the subordinates are also from the Ming Dynasty. Even if there are a few islanders, most of them are just wage earners."

"Oh, I forgot. Jiajing Dynasty felt that Pirate Wang Zhi had done a lot of bad things, so he took the initiative to expel his nationality, saying that he was assimilated by the islanders."

Ming Chengzu ".!"

In the short time when Zhu Houcong ordered Lu Bing to be summoned, there was undoubtedly a lot of information in the chat group.

And when Zhu Houcong saw the information, his face turned dark.

There was no way, the teasing meaning of Jiang Chen's words was too obvious.

"Sir, I have already sent someone to investigate, but the Forbidden Sea is not unique to my Jiajing Dynasty, it is the ancestral system established by the ancestors."

Jiajing hurriedly typed a line of text.

Instead, just one word, don't stare at me and mock me, I didn't make this thing.

As soon as Jiajing's message was sent out.

The face of Zhu Di in the Hall of Supreme Harmony couldn't help turning dark as well.

Although the Forbidden Sea was not formulated by him, it was also his father, and the key point was that he further strengthened it.

After thinking about it, Zhu Di explained it to his father.

"Sir, my father banned the sea because he didn't care about the suffering of the people. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the people along the coast were often harassed by pirates. It was impossible to prevent it with the power of the Ming Dynasty. It is better to stabilize the people by banning the sea."

Zhu Di's message was sent out.

Jiang Chen soon noticed it too.

Jiang Chen still approves of Zhu Di's information.

The forbidden sea in the early Ming Dynasty was indeed necessary.

First of all, due to the collapse of the Mongolian Yuan and a large number of princes who competed with Lao Zhu in the world, they fled overseas.

The entire Daming was moved.

In this case, Daming must stabilize the interior.

Only when the people are fixed by the forbidden sea can there be peaceful development.

No one can fault this.

But the problem is that the forbidden sea has almost come to an end when it reaches Zhu Dichao, and there is no need to continue.

It can't last anymore.

In fact, Zhu Di also discovered this problem.

But Zhu Di did not solve this problem, and even maintained his huge expenses for the royal finances, further strengthening the sea ban.

For the Zhu Di period, such an approach could not be said to be right or wrong.

After all, it is precisely because Zhu Di has mastered the sea trade that he can have the funds to do such a huge thing.

Whether it is the seven voyages to the west, or the cultivation of the Yongle Grand Ceremony, or the five conquests of Mongolia, in any era, any emperor can make a few pieces that are enough to make people's lives miserable. Just look at Yang Guang, but Zhu Di has made several pieces. As a result, Daming became stronger and stronger.

So it's hard to rate.

But the key point is that after Zhu Di, the sea ban should be relaxed, even if it is not relaxed, the state can continue to control it, but on the one hand, the imperial power has not fought against civil servants, the official sea trade has disappeared, and the sea ban has become more stringent.

This not only enriched the smugglers, but also made the entire coastal people miserable.

The coast is a large piece of saline-alkali land, and it is basically impossible to support it by farming, but if it goes to the sea, it will be a death penalty, and it is better to be a thief.

Under this vicious circle, the Japanese pirate rebellion in the entire Ming Dynasty naturally became more and more serious.

If you want to clear up any jokes, there is no end to clearing up.

It is also impossible to finish the suppression.

After all, the problem has not been solved at the root, and even if the surface is cleaned, it will still germinate.

In fact, this is indeed the case. In the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates never ended.
