Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 389 Prince Chu and Minister
"This group of guys have a lot going on." Lao Zhu and Queen Ma stared at their son from the corner behind.

He has no objection to going to sea.

Back then, I had a navy through Yu's father and son, Liao Yongan, Liao Yongzhong and the others.Later, I came into contact with firecrackers, these two things.Let him defeat one of his rivals in life, Chen Youliang.

This kind of lessons learned from the past gave him enough trust in the navy and firearms.

Zhu Biao looked at the general below: "Do you have any doubts?"

"As we all know, there are two other things that are most feared at sea besides pirates. May I ask Mahe, do you know?"

Zhu Biao often told Sanbao about disasters at sea, so apart from red tides and sea ice, tsunamis and storms have the greatest impact on the fleet.

Sambo replied: "Other than tsunami and storms, Sambo has never been afraid. As for the pirates mentioned by the generals, the fleet has already made plans in advance, and it is not in the air."

Everyone wanted to ask more questions.Zhu Biao only said that the pirates on the surface of the sea were wiped out by the patrolling navy from time to time. Naturally, many sailors would be brought with them when traveling by ship.

"My lords, a few years ago I heard that pirates robbed ships, gold, silver, jewels, and women. But in the past two years, the Daming navy has become stronger and stronger, and the warships are invincible, making pirates frightened. The county can testify to that."

The general smiled and said: "Anyone can say such beautiful words. I'm afraid of talking on paper. I just say "go to sea and go to sea." I don't even have a chart.

Seeing that they were constantly in trouble, Zhu Biao said a few words to the side, and soon one of the servants left.

"Since you have questions about the sea chart and road map, Gu will answer your questions. Please wait for a moment."

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, what does His Royal Highness want to do, how could there be a detailed plan for the sailing mission that was just mentioned today.

After half a stick of incense, Wei Shouzheng and Du Dongting held the box and entered Fengtian Hall and said, "My minister, Wei Shouzheng, has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Chen Du Dongting has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The things are brought!" Zhu Biao asked.

Wei Shouzheng and Du Dongting unfolded the scrolls one by one, facing the officials horizontally.

Zhu Biao pointed: "Look, gentlemen, this is the lonely Princess Xu who spent several months to clearly draw all the ship types in the shipyard, as well as the treasure ship formation, including the queue and all the plans."

I can't remember the historical nautical charts, but Zhu Biao drafted a lot of regulations, and asked Xu Miaowei to draw the treasure ships and the ship types used when he embroidered the Sheji map last time.lifelike. "

Seeing this drawing several feet long, Zhu Di was the most surprised and shocked.But he's also proud.

This was completed after several months of painting by my wife and sister-in-law.

Zhu Biao asked Sanbao to explain to them.

"The treasure ship is 44 feet long and 28 feet wide. It can accommodate thousands of officers and soldiers, and horses can gallop on the deck...The treasure ship is surrounded by horse ships, water ships...grain ships. And the grain ships have seven masts. It is [-] feet long and [-] feet wide. It is mainly used to transport food."

"On the outermost periphery, there are dozens of warships escorting. The warships are distributed into the front row, the rear row, the left row, and the right row...the ships are equipped with firearms, cannons, and mines, which can be attacked and defended. go down."

"If you encounter pirates, you will use the flag as a signal. Surround and destroy them as quickly as possible. The Ming artillery is now powerful, and the mistakes are minimal. Pirates in the area are not afraid. As for tsunamis and storms, the Maritime Affairs Bureau increased last year. The required personnel have the awareness of risk assessment and avoidance, and have the skills to save lives..."

The officials were in an uproar, dumbfounded by the plan.

Zhu Biao heaved a sigh of relief seeing that the group of officials with cerebral thrombosis had finally recovered.

The most surprised one was Emperor Zhu who was hiding in a corner and engaged in underground work. He did not expect the plan to be so thorough.

After all the officials calmed down, Zhu Biao explained the meaning of sailing, the most important thing is not to promote the might of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is to introduce new crops, open up new business routes for the people to resist natural and man-made disasters, and earn more money.Lay the foundation for opening up the territory.

Zhu Biao cleared his throat: "From now on, this Ma He is not a servant. I have given him a surname before, Zheng Sanbao. Afterwards, I will ask my father to make him the chief of the sea affairs, and continue to supervise the construction of treasure ships. There must be no mistakes. "

"Sir, obey the order."

"Liang Guogong, I hope that I will entrust you with the heavy responsibility of escorting the convoy, defending the Ming fleet, and forming a navy. You are willing."

All officials know that sailing out to sea.There is not a few years that can't be over, this Lan Yu has just become Liang Guogong for a few days, how could he agree.

Lan Yu thought of what her niece said when she entered Fengtian Palace today, and her eager eyes.

Zhu Biao looked at Lan Yu: "Mr. Liang, seeing that you haven't answered for a long time, don't you want to?"

Historically, Lan Yu was impatient and very proud. Staying in the capital would only cause trouble. Since she knew the direction of history, she would change history from here.

Instead of watching the generals go the old way, let Lao Zhu kill less people in this life, and spend the rest of his life with these generals brothers.

Going to the west, using Yongle's voyage time as a reference, it will take at least two years to come back.

This is also to make a living for Lan Yu and let him grind his temper at sea.

"Chen Lanyu, I am willing to form a navy for the Daming Fleet, to escort it, without any complaints or regrets."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Then you will be with the Three Treasures and prepare well for several months."

"That's the deal with the voyage. Does anyone have anything to say? Submit them all together." Zhu Biao looked at the memorial in front of him and asked.

Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said: "Your Majesty ordered the minister to prepare for the little prince to catch Zhou's affairs. I will write the details in it one by one. Please look over it to His Royal Highness."

"No, Chen Shangshu must have arranged this matter very well, I trust you, just go ahead and do it."

Chen Di nodded, handed the memorial to Yu Yi who came to fetch it from the lower imperial steps, and returned to the queue.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Zhu Biao planned to let Yu Yi announce the end of the dynasty.

Kaiji, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, stood up: "I have written in the memorandum about the renovation of the prison in the capital."

"Okay, I will remind my father of this matter."

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Kaiji was the secretary of Chahan Timur.In the early years of Hongwu, he was taught by the Henan government based on the classics of the Ming Dynasty, and became an assistant teacher of the son of the state.Kaiji had a good relationship with Hu Weiyong, the former prime minister. Later, it was unknown because he was implicated by Hu Weiyong.

But this Kaiji had the ability to manage officials, so Zhu Biao asked Lao Zhu to promote him from the assistant teacher of the son of the country to the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and manage the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

Today's confrontation between the monarch and his ministers is also a confrontation between Zhu Biao and his courtiers.

The ministers also gained a little more understanding of the prince's temperament, preferences and bottom line through today's sailing incident.

They also need to constantly test the crown prince with things. As for what things, how long or short the test should be depends on the situation.

But one thing is certain, they got along well in the morning court today, at least what the crown prince did convinced them.

In the future, there will be endless temptations, confrontations, and frictions between the monarch and his ministers. It may be the prince or the emperor testing the courtiers, or the courtiers are testing the bottom line of the incumbent's temper.

Only in this way can we cooperate better.

If Zhu Biao changes his opinion on sailing due to various reasons today, the courtiers will feel that they can control the prince's character.

And if he doesn't care about the courtiers, force it.That means he doesn't care about his reputation.

But today Zhu Biao didn't have any, he just saw his tricks, and he didn't blame anyone for it. Every problem was solved, and they were convinced. He was a benevolent and fair king.

This morning, everyone is very satisfied.The courtier got the answer he wanted.Zhu Biao completed his plan.

After the dynasty was over, everyone left Fengtian Hall in twos and threes, and they couldn't fault today's events.

Lao Zhu and Empress Ma in the corner also returned to the bedroom, Lao Zhu was very satisfied.

Zhu Biao got up and walked outside Fengtian Hall to take a few breaths of air.Wei Shouzheng and Du Dongting sent the scrolls over.

"That's right, Princess Xu is capable and a good fish." After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Sambo and the others were a little puzzled.

Does being able have anything to do with being a good fish?
