Chapter 404: Above the sea, I have the final say

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the end of the year.

Forty-one years of Jiajing are about to pass.

Many things happened this year. Tatar pirates in the north and Japanese pirates in the south were a disaster, Yan Ge fell, Xu Ge was in power, and the officialdom was in a big earthquake.

However... a year that should have been very difficult, it went very smoothly, very peacefully, giving people a feeling that the sea is clear and the world is rising.

Tartar was blown out by Huating Hou in the first battle, and now the flag is dead, and the atmosphere is dare not to come out. Even herders dare not approach ten miles beyond the Great Wall.

The Japanese pirates in the south were swept from north to south by Huating Hou, and they drove out of the South China Sea, not daring to go north. Since August, there has never been any Japanese invasion in the coastal states and capitals of Daming.

The "Southern Japanese and North Captives" who had harmed the Jiajing dynasty for decades, did not even exist!

For a while, the world was peaceful. This makes the officials of various ministries in the DPRK still unaccustomed!

Hai Jui's high-yield crops pilot work in Henan Province has also achieved great success.

Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat... and other high-yielding crops have received amazing harvests.

Adding up the various crops, the autumn harvest in Henan Province produced a total of 34 million shi!

Compared with previous years, the grain output is more than ten times higher!

If this data hadn't been reported by Hai Rui, no one would dare to believe it!

With so much grain, not only will Henan Province no longer worry about famine, but the autumn grain collected by the court from Henan Province has also been filled with countless warehouses.

The various health centers in Nanzhili under Lu Li's rule also received a bumper harvest. In addition to guaranteeing food rations for the soldiers and civilians under his command, countless foods were handed over to the court.

Adding up the two sides, including the autumn grain levied across the country, the Household Department Shangshu discovered that Daming's treasury was actually full of grain.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

Drought in Shaanxi Province? How much food do you want? Is one million stones enough? If it is not enough, I will give you two million stones!

Hai Rui returned to Beijing Miansheng, reported the promotion of high-yield crops in Henan Province, and told the Emperor Jiajing: Once high-yield crops are promoted across the country, the people in the world will no longer worry about famine!

Emperor Jiajing was very happy: What happened to Laozi Xiuxian? What's wrong with Laozi's ignoring the government? The country has no borders, and the people have no fear of famine. Can any of you do it?

What about the Emperor Qin and Hanwu? What about Tangzong Songzu? Can any of you do it? stand out!

I did nothing and became the emperor of the ages! This is where the fate belongs!

With a happy heart, the Emperor Jiajing decreed that Hai Rui was promoted to the minister of the household department to oversee the promotion of high-yield crops nationwide.

No one in the DPRK opposed this will. One is that Hai Rui’s character is too strong, and the other is that Hai Rui’s production of high-yield crops in Henan province is too scary. Even if someone envy and hate Hai Rui, they dare not gossip.

Hai Rui took office and made a detailed plan for the promotion of high-yield crops based on the various agricultural knowledge he learned in Lujiazhuang and his experience in promoting high-yield crops in Henan province.

Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and wheat are the main areas in the north, rice is the main area in Jiangnan water towns, and corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops are also widely planted in other hilly areas.

In the original North of Ming Dynasty, there was a total shortage of food. The south mainly relied on the transportation of food to supplement the shortage of food in the north.

Now, after the comprehensive promotion of high-yield crops, there is no shortage of food in the north. There will be no food shortage in all parts of the South.

As long as high-yield crops are widely planted across the country next year, Daming will no longer worry about famine from then on.

These high-yield crops were all made by Lu Li.

Emperor Jiajing did not forget Lu Li either. Isn’t there no more Japanese pirates in the South? Then give him another general title.

As a result, Lu Li's Hussar General's title was upgraded to a level, and he was titled "General Zhu Guo". Then... Jiajing gave away dozens of court ladies.

The title of General Zhu Guo is quite good, and he is only three ranks away from General Zhu Guo. But... what does it mean to send a girl again? What happened to Lao Tzu being single? Have you eaten your white rice?

Lu Li couldn't help rolling his eyes after receiving the imperial decree.

When the time came to the end, Lu Li did not return to Songjiang Mansion, but built a "South China Sea Governor's Yamen" in Guangzhou Mansion City, and took charge of military affairs in Nanhai.

Starting from the construction of the Keelung Port Naval Base on the Bay Island in August, in the past four months, multi-threaded operations from land to land have blossomed, and the construction of naval bases everywhere has basically taken shape.

The Qiongzhou base, Wandao base, Ryukyu base, Jeju Island base, Hokkaido base, and the headquarters Jinshan Port base have all been completed.

Except for the key development of the Bay Island base, where 50,000 Japanese captives and 10,000 garrisons were arranged, only 5,000 garrisons were stationed in other bases, and more than 10,000 refugees collected by coastal states were settled.

Captives and refugees are responsible for industrial and agricultural production, and garrisons maintain order. In the future, we will continue to emigrate, carry out overseas colonization, and strengthen base construction.

At this moment, large amounts of coal, ammunition, and various supplies are stockpiled in various bases. This allowed Lu Li's fleet to obtain supplies at various bases, greatly increasing its range.

By the end of the year, Lu Li's fleet further expanded.

The third batch of destroyers led by Zheng Yuan has been completed. The number of destroyers in this batch reached thirty.

Today, Lu Li's destroyers have exploded to the size of 53 warships.

Therefore, Lu Li divided his fleet into three parts: the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet.

The North Sea Fleet has ten destroyers, five destroyers stationed at the Hokkaido base, and five destroyers stationed on Jeju Island. They are responsible for patrolling and protecting the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the borders around the North Sea.

The 13 destroyers of the East China Sea Fleet are stationed at Jinshan Port Base, Ryukyu Base and Wandao Base respectively, and are responsible for maintaining maritime order around the East China Sea.

Lu Li took all the remaining 30 destroyers to the South China Sea and assembled on Qiongzhou Island base.

In front of this overwhelmingly powerful fleet, the coastal surroundings of Daming were peaceful and peaceful, and there was no more threat on the sea.

As a result, Daming's overseas trade exploded.

Merchant ships heading for Wa State and Goryeo, one after another, are endless.

Prosperous overseas trade is a good thing, but... the Ming court cannot receive a penny of tax, which is not a good thing.

Laozi worked so hard to calm the sea and territories, but let you Daming worms make a fortune. How can there be such a good thing?

Therefore, Lu Li played to the Emperor Jiajing and asked to set up a city ship division. In Songjiang Prefecture, Ningbo Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Guangzhou Prefecture, the Shibo Division was established to oversee overseas trade.

All in all, "collect taxes" in one sentence!

This memorial was passed to the court, and a stone was immediately stirred up, and the officials in the court were in an uproar.

In this age, officials, eunuchs, and gentry of the Ming Dynasty may only have individual officials like Hai Rui who do not engage in sea trade.

How dare Lu Li propose to "collect taxes"? Isn't this robbing meat in our rice bowl?

This is really outrageous!

Suddenly, Lu Li was like a mouse crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating. The memorials of playing Lu Li are countless like snow flakes.

Sea prohibition is the ancestor's law, and Lu Li's false remarks to open the sea is a big rebellion.

This kind of statement is not bad. More officials, like mad dogs, caught and spit out.

What "supports soldiers and respects themselves", what is "naturally rebellious", and what "rebellious mind is known to everyone". There was even the impeachment of Lu Li, "calling hundreds of prostitutes and declaring adultery with his subordinates in the barracks. The scenes are unsightly and unsightly."

Rumor has it! Do you just spray as you want?

The Emperor Jiajing is not stupid, but a rare intelligent man with high IQ. How can I not know what is going on?

Lu Li set up the memorial of the Shibosi Division and stabbed the hornet's nest, making these officials frantically counterattack and bite.

It's just...what is the most important thing for Emperor Jiajing? Xiuxian is the most important thing.

I'm so noisy that I'm not quiet for cultivating immortals, and I'm a fart!

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing decreed to reprimand Lu Li, and the proposal of setting up Shibo Division was naturally invalidated.

In this way, the court immediately became quiet.

Lu Li frowned slightly after receiving the imperial decree, and a coldness appeared in his eyes.

Dare to fight against Lao Tzu? Are you afraid that you don’t know who has the final say on the sea?

Lu Li immediately ordered that the North Sea Fleet, East China Sea Fleet, and South China Sea Fleet, the entire army set off to patrol the seas and territories, and any sea-going ships would intercept them, and those who dare to resist would immediately sink them!

Didn't you tell Lao Tzu about the "ancestral law"?

Well, the ancestor's method is "Pianfan can not get out of the sea." This decree must be strictly enforced thoroughly.

The ban on seas was issued, and the three major fleets attacked across the board to intercept any ships that dared to go to sea.

From the North Sea to the South China Sea, the countless maritime merchants and thousands of ships in the Daming coastal area were all blocked by land-based ships and guns.

It's not that nobody resists.

There are always some guys who think they have a big background, who dare not provoke them, want to challenge Lu Li's maritime hegemony.

For example... Songjiang Xujia.

As the leader of Qingliu, Xu Gelao was the first assistant of the dynasty, but his family was not clean at all.

The Xu family owns 240,000 acres of fertile land, planted silk and hemp, and opened countless silk workshops. It is now the largest maritime merchant in the southeast region.

After Lu Li's ban on seas was issued, countless maritime merchants were driven back by strong boats and guns, but... the Xu family was not afraid of Lu Li.

When the first assistant, find out.

You are a military commander in the same area, what are you doing against the current chief assistant? I don't dare to borrow you!

As a result, the Xu family organized a large fleet and sailed out of Songjiang Mansion in a mighty manner and set sail in the direction of the country of Japan.

In the Ming Dynasty, the main target of overseas trade in the East China Sea is the Japanese Kingdom.

The overseas trade in the direction of Nanyang includes the grape duck people and the Sipan duck people of Annan, Siam, and even Malacca.

The Xu family's fleet went out to sea, which also led to countless maritime merchants from the two residences of Su Song to follow.

Suddenly, a huge fleet of hundreds of sea-going ships sailed into the ocean formidable.

Then... the North Sea Fleet, which was driven out in the direction of Jeju Island, was blocked in the East China Sea.

"Please pay attention to the fleet ahead. This is the Daming North Sea Fleet."

The destroyer was blocked in front of the fleet, and the fleet officer shouted to the fleet through a huge bronze megaphone: "According to the ban on seas, it is illegal for your fleet to go to sea. Please drop the sails and stop the ship immediately!"

The five destroyers lined up, and the voices in the megaphone kept ringing.

However... the Xu family's head is very iron, and it doesn't take this fleet into consideration at all.

In the Ming Dynasty, my old Xu Ge had the final say, you Qiu Ba counted as a fart!

"Hang up the Xu character flag to show your identity."

A Xu family manager snorted disdainfully, "Just hit it over and see which one of them dares to stop!"

The Xu character flag was raised high, and the Xu family's fleet rushed towards the destroyer intercepted in front with the sea ships that followed, without any scruples, and extremely arrogant.

"Fire warning!"

With an order from the general, the five destroyers fired a salvo at the front of the fleet.

Dense shells bombarded the sea, blowing up huge water columns. The splashing water even fell on the leading Xujiahai boat.

"They fired, what should I do?"

On the lead Xujiahai ship, the sailing crew trembled a little.

"Just behave, they dare not really do it!"

Xu Jiaguan was full of disdain, "In the Ming Dynasty, who dares to offend our Xu family? Keep going!"

The artillery fire warning was invalid, and the fleet rushed up arrogantly.

On the destroyer, the squadron commander, holding his binoculars, saw this scene with a cold face.

"These moths are really arrogant and domineering!"

The squadron commander let out a cold snort, waved his hand and ordered: "Set the fire and sink the first ship of the fleet!"

With an order, the five destroyers formed a battle formation, and the side artillery aimed at the first ship of the fleet.

"Boom!"

There was a shocking sound, and the dense shells blasted heavily on the first ship of the fleet, instantly blasting the ship to pieces!

"Ah... how dare you? How dare you?"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Xu family fleet, as well as other maritime merchants who followed, screamed in shock.

"Lower the sails and stop the ship. Otherwise, sink them all!"

In the megaphone on the destroyer, another icy warning sounded.

This time, no one is fighting back.

If you have sunk a ship and you still dare to resist, it will only be a matter of firing a few more shots.

Under this circumstance, the Xu family fleet and the maritime merchants who followed could only return honestly under the **** of the destroyer.

After this battle, no sea urchin on the Daming Sea dared to go to sea.

A direct conflict broke out between Huating Hou and Xu Ge, everyone was waiting for the final result.

Lu Li received the report ~www.ltnovel.com~ and saw that the North Sea Fleet sank a Xu's ship, but he turned his lips and didn't take it seriously.

At sea, I have the final say! This is maritime hegemony!

...

Capital.

Xu Gelao received the letter from the Xu family, learned about Lu Li's fleet, sank a Xujiahai ship, and blocked all the ships back to the port.

Xu Ge's face was pale with anger, but he was helpless!

Because... Lu Li triumphantly presented a memorial, and submitted a work summary to the court that "strictly enforce the ancestral law, clean up the sea, and ensure that sails cannot go to the sea".

This is an upright teacher, this is absolute strength.

This is to tell everyone that if anyone does not pay taxes, then don't think about doing business.
