Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 77 Zhu Di: Emperor Yongle broke the sea ban? I was the first one not to agree!

Prince Zhu Biao nodded. He had a relatively stable character, so he agreed with Li Wenzhong's view.

"This matter really needs to be considered in the long term."

But at this time Zhu Di intervened: "But we can't be timid because of this and miss this God-given opportunity! If it is true, then how can we not seize such a good opportunity? When the time comes, I will be willing to lead the troops in person and conquer. Japan!"

South Korean Duke Li Shanchang shook his head and said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Yan is commendable for his courage, but this matter will not be solved overnight. We need to send envoys to negotiate with Japan after sending Jin Yiwei to investigate, one overt and one covert, to find out the truth and the truth. We will make plans later. At the same time, we must also strengthen the training of the navy in preparation for crossing the sea. Although we are also navy, naval battles and water battles in rivers and lakes are not the same thing. Moreover, the navy also has a saying .”

In fact, the reason why Li Shanchang said this is because the current Ming Navy Navy is a completely independent system, and its independence is very strong.

This is because the predecessor of the Ming Navy Navy was the Chaohu Navy.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising, his subordinates were all infantry and cavalry, without any navy. However, without a navy, it was impossible to go south. At that time, Yu Tonghai and his son, and brothers Liao Yongan and Liao Yongzhong, who established the Chaohu Navy and occupied Chaohu for self-protection, were fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang. After negotiating the terms, he led the entire Chaohu Navy to join Zhu Yuanzhang's camp. The two parties hit it off, and these naval generals were also among the important original shareholders in the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

It was the joining of the Chaohu Navy that greatly increased Zhu Yuanzhang's strength. He owned more than a thousand large and small warships overnight. When Zhu Yuanzhang was crossing the river, the Yuan Dynasty Navy was severely defeated by the Chaohu Navy and retreated to Wuhu. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang had the basic base of Yingtian Mansion. Of course, at this time, he was also facing Zhang Shicheng in the east and Chen Youliang in the west. The two of them had Taihu Navy and Poyang Navy that were not inferior to or even better than Chaohu Navy. The Lake Navy later experienced the battlefield prototype described in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" about the Battle of Chibi, that is, after the Poyang Lake Battle, the Ming Navy incorporated the remaining Poyang Lake Navy and finally controlled the entire Yangtze River Basin, defeating Zhang Shicheng and his The Taihu Navy unified the south and established the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

To this day, the Ming Navy is very independent. It can be said to be a small independent kingdom. Generals from other land division factions cannot get involved at all. The Ming Navy does not obey anyone except Zhu Yuanzhang's orders.

Zhu Yuanzhang was of course happy to see the results. On the one hand, he did not want the Navy to get too close to the Huaixi Group, so he had always adopted a resigned attitude. On the other hand, he could restrict the power of the Navy through funding allocations. Make sure the water division is controllable.

However, there have been basically no water wars in recent years. The Navy has become useless and can only be in a state of inactivity. Not only is it unable to grow, it is even declining. Even the ships are rarely repaired, and the Navy officers and soldiers can only do patrols. of work.

And if we want to conquer Japan across the sea, it is obviously necessary to break the current internal balance of the Ming army and allocate large sums of money to the navy for shipbuilding and ship repair. Otherwise, we can only rely on the mud legs of the land army, even if we start from the nearest Korean island of Jeju. , can’t even swim to Japan.

Therefore, this involves factional disputes within the Ming army, and even competition for financial expenditures between civil servants and military ministers. It is inconvenient for Li Shanchang to be too thorough.

Zheng Guogong Chang Mao didn't think so much. He just said impatiently: "What are you talking about? If you grow up with other people's ambitions, you will destroy your own prestige! Japan is just a small country, why do we, the Ming Dynasty, need to be so cautious? Just send troops to capture it. that is!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to everyone's discussion and already had some calculations in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't argue anymore. This matter is of great importance and needs to be considered in the long term, but one thing is certain, Japan's gold and silver If it is true, we, Ming Dynasty, must get it! As for how to act, we will discuss it after Jin Yiwei sends back the information."

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "We have another thing."

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang took out the topographic map of the world, laid it flat on the dragon table, pressed it down with a Chi Kiss paperweight, and motioned for everyone to come closer and watch.

After everyone saw this new world, they were naturally amazed. Zhu Yuanzhang's words also focused on "Yongle Dynasty Zheng He's seven voyages to the West".

"The secrets of the future that our eldest grandson sees may not necessarily come true. After all, with Yin Yang Qi Hai, it can be changed now."

"But." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Prince Zhu Biao with an unkind expression: "Biao'er, please explain to us, which little brat dares to destroy our ancestral system and go to the West?"

People stood in the temple, and pots came from heaven.

Zhu Biao, who was lying on the gun, could be said to be confused. Zhu Yuanzhang asked him, how did he know? !
But the question is, how to explain it?
After all, in everyone's eyes, he is the prince, and he is the prince who has been trained by Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, so he will definitely inherit the throne. This is a 100% thing, and there can be no mistakes.

Therefore, Zhu Biao must be the second generation of the Ming Dynasty, and by analogy, only Zhu Biao's son will be the third generation emperor of the "Yongle Dynasty".

Yellow mud sticks to the crotch, which is either shit or shit.

"This father, son and minister don't even know!"

Zhu Biao had a sad face, full of helplessness.

"Humph."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao for a few times with an unkind expression, and then looked at everyone.

No one else spoke, and Zhu Di expressed the most positive attitude: "Father, as an uncle, no matter which nephew dares to destroy your ancestral system and open the sea, I will be the first to refuse!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression brightened slightly, he patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said, "It's good to have your words. This matter may not be what the grandson meant. Maybe it's because the powerful officials in the court can't control it. We The rules have been established. If there are treacherous ministers in the court, the vassal king must put the country in trouble and clear the emperor's side. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be ensured forever."

Zhu Di's chest was beating loudly at this time, like Tom Cat in a cartoon with his head held high.

Zhu Yuanzhang added: "However, we have also asked my eldest grandson. I believe that next time the Yin and Yang Qihai opens, we will know about the 'Yongle Emperor'. By then, hum."

After saying these things and instructing everyone to keep it secret and never let these confidential information leak out, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself sat on the dragon throne with his eyes closed and meditated. He knew that these decisions would be related to the future direction of the Ming Dynasty, so he must not be careless in the slightest.

The situation between the DPRK and China is indeed in a delicate balance now. If it is necessary to build and repair ships in order to obtain Japan's gold and silver mountains, then in terms of finance, between the civil servants and military ministers, and the land division and naval division within the military ministers There will definitely be another turmoil. As an arbiter, Zhu Yuanzhang also needs to handle these matters carefully.
