Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1261 The hornet's nest

In fact, the so-called price of Emperor Chongzhen is to spend some achievement points to add people.As for the achievement points consumed by the temporary group and the photo function, he has already bought them out.If the household registration system of the vassal state is newly opened, it will not cost him much.

Of course, if you insist on calculating all the costs of the chat group, the cost is indeed high. The achievement value of buying out the temporary group and the photo function alone is astronomical.However, the main reason why Emperor Chongzhen said this to King Tang was to let King Tang tell other vassals that other vassals also use this household registration system.In this way, as long as the vassal states adopt the new household registration system, they are all under the control of Emperor Chongzhen.

At that time, he can give the factory guard permission to privately count the population, taxation, etc. of the feudal state, so that he can have a clear grasp of the feudal state without going out.

Tang Wang is not the leader of the group, so naturally he doesn't know how much the price will be.Although he knew that the emperor would definitely be able to see the population, taxation and other contents of the feudal kingdom, he didn't care much about it.The reason for this is, first, population management, which has always been a management problem in ancient society, and the instant messaging system of the chat group can be very powerful and perfectly solve this problem.

Second, the vassal kings at this time, even the ambitious Tang king, are not ambitious for Ming Dynasty.In other words, they have been raised as pigs since they were young. Although they have been entrusted to become vassal kings with real power at this time, the things in their bones have not changed.

At this time, they never had any thoughts, but wanted to guard against Daming.On the contrary, at this time, they are doing everything possible to gain Da Ming's support and affirmation from Da Ming.Even if they knew about the population, taxes and other information, Daming would know about it, but they wouldn't really care much about it.Of course, whether their descendants think the same way, they don't care about it at all at this time.

It was precisely because of the above two reasons that King Tang was overjoyed when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's promise. After thanking him repeatedly, he immediately went to the vassal king's chat group and started his show again.

Emperor Chongzhen was diving, silently watching his performance.

I saw that Tang Wang said that he wanted to share his experience in governing the country, and Barabara talked about a lot of management difficulties encountered.And the most basic thing of a country is population management.When he was talking about this, King Fu and King Yi, who had already experienced it, agreed in unison, and it was another pile of bitterness.

Afterwards, King Tang gave another blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah to what he heard from Wei Zhongliang about the new household registration system.In the middle, he got the support of the vassal kings who had not been entrusted.Because as long as people in the Ming Dynasty, including the vassals, all have registered.At this time, they didn't care about privacy at all. The emperor had a decree, so naturally he had to implement it.

When King Tang heard someone agreeing, he spoke more vigorously, just because he knew that the emperor might see him speak, so he didn't dare to exaggerate too much, he just said that he asked the emperor's permission, and the vassal state can also join the new household registration The system can solve the problem of population management very well.If you want to be together, hurry up and get in the car together.

King Tang is considered to be quite accomplished among the vassal kings. He doesn't care about the population information of his country being mastered by Daming, let alone other vassal kings.As long as they can solve the problem and make their rule more smooth, they will think more.All of a sudden, King Fu and King Yi immediately agreed, and other vassals were not far behind. Even the vassals who were not entrusted were clamoring not to forget that they also wanted this new household registration management.

In this way, at the initiative of these vassal kings, the new household registration system of Ming Dynasty covered the vassal states.

Of course, the vassal state has a separate folder for storing data, and the vassal king and the people designated by the vassal king can access these folders. As for other folders, they do not have permission.For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen is not just talking about it, he needs to add some chat group members, if it is the best in the feudal kingdom, if not, he will go from the chat group members of the Daming faction to act as the household registration management of the feudal state member.

When Emperor Chongzhen and the vassals were busy with the new household registration management system, six sailing warships appeared on Xiaoxiyang, which is the Indian Ocean for later generations.On one of the warships, the flagship, several Xiyi were standing there looking at the coastline in the distance.One of them said to the person standing in the middle and watching with a telescope: "Captain, this place should belong to Bengal. A few years ago, the Portuguese were defeated by the natives here and escaped from here!"

These people, being English, were sent by Charles I on a fleet to the East.The leader is Captain Wedell. Their main purpose is to hear about the wealth in the East, and they also want to see if there are any opportunities to make a fortune.

In the original history, this fleet would not set off from London until the ninth year of Chongzhen.But on this plane, because of the butterfly effect, they set off a year earlier.

Britain at this time is not yet the empire on which the sun never sets, but its strength is on the rise.According to the original history, this fleet arrived at Shizimenwai in the south of Macau the following year.As a result, the Portuguese in Macau directly sent ships to stop the fleet because of their own interests, preventing them from approaching, and the trade was also not possible.

With no other choice, Captain Wedell led the fleet to Guangzhou, but clashed with the Humen defenders of Daming, and they occupied the Humen Fort.They thought that Daming was as weak and deceitful as the natives in other colonies, so they wanted to force Daming to trade with them, so they continued to march all the way to Guangzhou, and plundered along the way.As a result, Da Ming counterattacked.In desperation, Wedell hurriedly begged the Portuguese to be a peacemaker.

In the end, Wedell paid 800 taels of silver in compensation and promised not to come to Daming again. Only then did the matter be settled, and he returned to England in despair.

Of course, on this plane, they have only reached the coast of Bengal, and they are still far away from Ming Dynasty!
Listening to the guide's introduction, Wedell looked into the distance, and suddenly, he found that there seemed to be two ships coming towards the coastline.He quickly adjusted the focus of the telescope and looked carefully.After a long time, he asked a little strangely: "What's going on? The sailing warship should belong to our Europe, right? But the flag hanging on it has never been seen before!"

When these British people heard this, they were a little curious.The guide beside Wedell also came to the East a long time ago, and he didn’t know the current situation, so after looking through the binoculars, he also answered Wedell helplessly: “Captain, this flag should not be from Europe, and I also Never seen it."

After a pause, he guessed again: "There are no sailing warships in the east. I figured, which colony might this belong to? But it shouldn't be. No matter which colony it is, it should have the flag of the country to which its owner belongs. That's right!"

Guessing and guessing, no one can guess what.When Wedel saw it, the corner of his mouth curled slightly, showing a trace of disdain: "You don't have to guess, the battle formation, surround them, grab them and ask them, and you will know the situation!"

There are six warships on their side, but there are only two warships on the opposite side, six against two, there must be no problem.Moreover, the British Empire has no allies here, no matter who they face, they can't go wrong anyway.

Hearing the captain's order, the others couldn't help nodding, it was such a simple matter.So, the flagship immediately issued an order through semaphore, ready to go to war.

What they didn't expect was that the two sailing warships with overlapping flags of red sun and yellow moon on the opposite side seemed to be aware of their intentions immediately, and immediately sent them a common semaphore.

"Captain, the other side warned us not to show hostility, and we must do what the other side said." The watchman on the flagpole shouted loudly towards the bottom, with a hint of humor in his words.

After hearing this, Wedell realized that it was impossible for him to be obedient when his own force was stronger than the opponent's. He didn't answer at all, which meant that his previous order was still valid.

So, the six sail warships continued to deploy for battle, but before they finished their preparations, the watchman on the flagpole reported again loudly: "Captain, the enemy is about to flee!"

When Wedel heard it, he immediately raised his binoculars and looked over.Sure enough, the two sailing warships did not engage in battle, but turned a corner and fled to the coast.

"Hehe, let's see where you are fleeing!" Wedell sneered and immediately ordered, "Follow up and stay on alert!"

Those who go out to colonize have a custom. If they see an advantage to take advantage of after they come out, they will take advantage of the opportunity. If there is no advantage to take advantage of, then it depends on the situation.In short, when they came out, it was because they bullied the weak and feared the hard.

In this way, the six sailing warships chased the two sailing warships with overlapping flags of red sun and yellow moon, and headed towards the coast.

After a period of time on the route, we got closer and closer to the coastline. Through the telescope, Wedel suddenly found that there were many ships near the sea. They looked like civilian ships and cargo ships, but they were not armed ships anyway.Most are Eastern ships, few Western sailing ships.

"Is there a prosperous port here?" Wedel was a little puzzled, and turned to ask the guide.

The guide was also puzzled. When he came here a few years ago, there was no bustling port here.But now he can also see with the naked eye that there are many ships passing by on the sea near the coast in the distance.

I don't understand!In desperation, the guide shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, expressing that he didn't know either.

Soon, either the two escaping sailboats in front gave the warning, or they saw it themselves, those cargo ships and the like also began to flee in the same direction, speeding up.

Seeing this situation, Wedel showed a smug smile on his face.They have seen this situation many times since they set off from London.Such things often happened on the coastlines of the aborigines. He led the fleet to attack and basically plundered them.Otherwise, if there is no supply along the way, it will not be able to go so far.

Not only Wedell thought so, but the other Britons on the six sailing warships all showed cat-and-mouse smiles.Everyone seemed relaxed.

The coastline is getting closer and closer, and Wedel and others can see it more and more clearly.They are all discerning people, and they immediately saw that this place seemed to be very prosperous.

Then, a sailing battleship sent a flag, and the flagman immediately reported to Wedell: "Other warships ask for instructions. If the attack on the port goes well later, can they directly attack the shore?"

After all, they only have six warships. If there is a large native city on the shore, there may be too many people on the other side. After the natives react, they may be outnumbered.However, if the natives went ashore to plunder before the natives reacted, the rewards would be great.

After hearing this, Wedel pondered for a while, and then replied: "It's business as usual!"

At last the British warships saw the ports on the coast.I saw the houses on the shore, row upon row, covering a large area, obviously, it is indeed a very prosperous place.As a result, these British guys who came from a long voyage screamed excitedly one by one.In their eyes, the more prosperous the place, the greater the harvest!
However, just as they were gearing up and preparing to fight around the native port, they saw a ship coming out of the port in the distance.

At first, Wedel didn't care. No matter how stupid the natives were, they couldn't be caught without a fight, and they would definitely fight back.But after he kills the native resistance forces cleanly and neatly, everything will be fine.

He was thinking this way, and just when he was about to take a look with the binoculars, suddenly, the watchman on the flagpole lowered his head and yelled, with panic in his voice: "Captain, retreat quickly, we have poked a hornet's nest, and they are all sailing warships! Captain, Get out..."

Wedell was startled when he heard it, and quickly looked through the binoculars.

The lookout soldiers were right. The ships coming out of the port were the same as the two sailing warships they encountered before. They all hung red sun and yellow moon overlapping flags. It can be seen from the sides of the ship that the guns There are quite a few places.The most important thing is that this kind of sailing warships are one after another. I don't know how many are still in the port. Anyway, I don't need to count them. The number of sailing warships of the opponent is far more than the six of our own.

Damn it, it really poked a hornet's nest, why are there so many sailing warships here?

Wedel was puzzled and cursed at the same time, and then quickly ordered: "Retreat, withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly!"

It has to be said that these British guys are top-notch in escaping. With the cooperation of all the crew members, the six sailing warships immediately turned and fled, and the speed became faster and faster. Slowly, the chasing warships were finally thrown away. .

When they escaped to a safe sea, the other warships all semaphored, asking what should they do next?
Wedel thought for a while, although he didn't want to understand why there were so many strange sailing warships here, but he thought about his mission, and finally decided to continue sailing eastward.

However, he didn't know that it was Liang Xiaozhen, the commander of the navy of the Ming army, who was chasing his fleet.After all, his subordinates were not as familiar with sailing boats as Xiyi. After being escaped, he looked at the direction Xiyi was escaping from and entered the chat group.
