Chapter 405: The territory of the vassal state is the territory of Ming Dynasty

Lu Li's move to block seas and territories had a huge impact.

There are almost no officials, eunuchs and gentry in the coastal areas who do not go to sea or do overseas trade.

Originally, when Lu Li wiped out the Japanese pirates, a wave of maritime trade broke out and became more prosperous.

However... Lu Li's move to ban the seas and territories caught everyone's necks tightly, and no one could move.

Dare to rush through? The ships in Xu Ge's hometown were sunk!

The sea has been banned, the mountain of goods cannot be shipped out, and a huge amount of silver is being consumed every moment. Even if the sea merchants have a solid foundation, they cannot withstand such a toss.

The ban must be lifted as soon as possible, and Lu Li cannot continue to ban the sea and territories.

But... how can Lu Li release the ban?

Officials habitually first think of... impeachment! Squirting Lu Li! Let him throw him off the court, and even go to jail.

Under Xu Ge's instruction, the officials of the DPRK and the Chinese government were ready to launch a massive collective impeachment to ruin Lu Li and imprison him.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng quietly reminded Xu Gelao: "Aren't you afraid to force Lu Li to rebel? Once Lu Li rebels..."

Hearing this, Xu Ge's whole body shivered, and the cold sweat on his forehead came out.

For those who do not have the strength to rebel, or even will not rebel at all, the civilian officials can unscrupulously spout, and can unscrupulously slander the opponent for rebellion.

But... those who really have the ability to rebel, then absolutely can't squirt. If the other party really raises the flag high, the consequences will be disastrous.

Forcing Lu Li back, who can control the world? Maybe it's about to change the dynasty. What a fart?

Even Lu Li didn't need to be a real rebellion, as long as he came to the side of the "Princess Monarch", he could easily break into the capital and take off Xu Ge's head.

The previous routines of political struggles were completely meaningless when used on Lu Li, and they might even bring death.

"Taiyue, you write to discuss with Lu Li, everything is easy to discuss! I am also from Huating. Lu Li and I are from the same hometown. I should have watched and helped each other. There is no need to be so stale."

After recognizing the reality, Mr. Xu was shocked instantly.

This is normal. In front of swords and guns, the fastest to recognize is the scholar.

"Yes!"

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly took the order and immediately wrote a letter to Lu Li. There was no acknowledgment between the words, but they were all about friendship and ideals.

However, everyone understands the meaning.

Lu Li received Zhang Juzheng's letter, with a smile on his face, "Isn't that right? In this world, the truth is in the hands of guns. Dare to fight against Lao Tzu, can't Lao Tzu be Cao Cao?"

Afterwards, Lu Li once again presented a memorial, asking for the establishment of a city ship department.

Along with the memorial, there is also a plan for setting up the Shibo Division prepared by Lu Li, including staffing, financial accounting, tax rate standards, tax and fee distribution, etc. The plan is very detailed.

Even Lu Li set up a "Detective Division" unit in the Department of Shipbuilding, and the Nanzhili Guards mobilized 5,000 soldiers to serve as tax detective teams of the Department of Shipbuilding to combat tax evasion and smuggling.

Under the deterrence of completely banning the seas and territories and cutting off sea trade, Lu Li's arrogant and domineering act, although the North Korean and Chinese officials were very angry, they could only pinch their noses to admit.

The Emperor Jiajing received the "please set up a city ship division" memorial drafted by the cabinet, and saw the cabinet drafting "feasible", a strange smile appeared on his face.

Obviously, this was a battle between the North Korean and Chinese officials and Lu Li, and he was beaten up by Lu Li. After suffering a sorrow, he could only honestly admit it.

In fact, apart from receiving this official memorial, Emperor Jiajing also received a secret note from Lu Li.

In this secret book, Lu Li gave the Emperor Jiajing a detailed description of the grand sea trade in the southeast coast, claiming that the benefits of sea trade in one year would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

With the establishment of the Shibosi Department and strict implementation of tax payment standards, the Daming Treasury will receive tens of millions of taels of silver in tax. The Jiajing emperor's internal treasury was divided into several million, even tens of millions of taels of silver each year.

Haimao has such benefits?

Although Emperor Jiajing was clever, he had not come into contact with this information, and he couldn't believe it.

It's just that... even if you don't have that much money, you can make more than one million taels of silver each year, and the funds for cultivation will be more sufficient.

Give it a try!

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Jiajing decreed to set up the Municipal Bureau of Shipping in Songjiang Prefecture, Ningbo Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Guangzhou Prefecture to start the tax collection of sea trade.

As for the "ban on the sea" or the ancestral law of "no sailing into the sea", no one mentioned it, and no one cared.

Do you really think that scholars care about the ancestral law? What about Emperor Hongwu's ancestral method of embezzling fifty taels of silver? Why didn't you see scholars defending this ancestral law?

Everything is nothing but profit.

The imperial decree was issued, and the municipal bureaus were quickly formed.

With the five thousand "detective team" dispatched by Lu Li, the establishment of the Shibosi Division was not hindered at all.

Those who wanted to stumbling on the Shibosi Division, facing the cold knife and spear, instantly died down.

The idea of ​​"burning the Shibosi Division on fire" did not dare to come out.

Don't be surprised that the civil servants and scholars of the Ming Dynasty couldn't do anything?

The eunuchs sent by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to collect taxes do not know how many of them were killed. Various warehouses, government treasury, and even Shibosi, "fire" incidents are endless.

Why did Emperor Daming reuse eunuchs? Why set up guards and guards, east factory and west factory? Isn't it just to fight civil officials?

Don't think that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were all "sores on their heads and pus on the soles of their feet". They were so bad that they were all blacked out by civilian officials.

Don't think that the emperors of the late Ming Dynasty were all born with mental retardation, and they were all deliberately tossed out by civilian officials. The emperor Daming died strangely, their cause of death... Ha ha.

Lu Li never believed in most of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty. Only under the deterrence of force can they be honest.

The Department of Shibo is composed of eunuchs in the palace, officials from the central government, and Lu Li’s detective team. Under the control of the three parties, coupled with the use of force, can the Department of Shibo ensure smooth tax collection, otherwise... I don’t know which day it will change. It has become a channel for civil officials to make money.

Overseas fleets are still patrolling the seas and territories. Ships that do not have a tax payment certificate from the Municipal Bureau of Shipping will be punished as smuggling and confiscated all their property.

There are destroyers on the sea and detective teams on the shore. Who dares to refuse?

The Department of Shipbuilding was formally established, and countless maritime merchants who were blocked by Lu Li on the coast, after paying taxes honestly, went out to sea.

Just this wave of tax payment has caused the municipal bureaus to collect more than five million taels of tax.

The Ministry of Household received four million taels of silver, and finally there was silver in the empty treasury.

Emperor Jiajing also received one million taels of silver.

I go! Really make money like this? Emperor Jiajing smiled openly. Not bad. It is a good idea to open the market. My funds for cultivation are more sufficient.

Having settled the affairs of Shibosi, Lu Li focused on overseas.

...

February forty-two years in Jiajing.

The north is still icy and snowy, but the South China Sea is sunny.

On this day, Lu Li assembled his fleet, set off from the Sanya base on Qiongzhou Island, and headed south formidable.

In addition to the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet patrolling the sea and territories, Lu Li assembled 30 destroyers and brought hundreds of transport ships, heading towards Annan Da Nang.

Since Lu Li drove the Japanese pirates into the South China Sea, Lu Li's army was stationed on Qiongzhou Island and did not continue to chase and suppress them.

The Japanese pirates were driven by Lu Li, and naturally they did not carry enough supplies on board. To survive, you have to grab it.

So... after August last year, Japanese pirates looted everywhere in Nanyang. The areas around Jiaozhi, Annan, and Champa were naturally badly harmed by Japanese pirates.

On this day, a group of Japanese pirates burned, looted and looted near Da Nang, looting a large amount of supplies, and was preparing to board the ship and return.

At this time... a huge black smoke rose up in the distance.

A huge fleet, braving the wind and waves, roaring.

"Huating Hou is here!"

"The Black Army is here!"

"Run!"

The Japanese pirates were so horrified that they couldn't even take care of the looted materials and the women who came over, so they turned around and ran.

Some fled inland, some fled to the Shanghai ship and fled in a hurry.

"Master Hou, do you want to sink them?"

The admiral Zhang Wei pointed to the Japanese pirate ship that fled in embarrassment and asked Lu Li.

"Fire a few shots, hit a few shots, and sink a few ships symbolically."

Lu Li smiled and waved his hand, "I'm still waiting for them to clear the way for me!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Wei quickly took the order.

Amid the roar of gunfire, several Japanese warships running behind were sunk, and other Japanese warships scattered and fled.

Lu Li didn't bother to chase after him, gathered the fleet and landed in Danang.

An army of tens of thousands of people rushed directly into Da Nang and occupied it.

Immediately, various materials were unloaded, laborers entered the field, and vigorous base construction began.

A large sun and moon flag was erected high on a hill outside Da Nang, and bright flags were fluttering in the wind.

The countless Annan people inside and outside Da Nang looked at this sun and moon flag waving in the wind, with complex expressions on their faces.

This is Daming!

It has been more than a hundred years since Emperor Yongle conquered Jiaozhi, and Daming is back!

In the city of Hue, north of Da Nang.

Chen Wenli, the king of Annan Hue, received a military report and shuddered at the sight of the Ming army landing in Da Nang.

"The Heavenly Dynasty sent troops into Da Nang, how can this be good!"

King Hue's face was pale, sitting on the dragon chair at a loss.

It's just that after a few years of paying tribute, Daming actually sent troops to attack? Do you want to be so cruel!

It was the Jiaozhi Li Chao in the north that once attacked the Daming border. It has nothing to do with me!

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Don't call me your majesty, call me the great king. I am the king of Hue, how can I be the emperor?"

The king of Hue was already shocked, "Hurry! Hurry up and tear down all the over-ruled things in Hue. This king will make a list and ask for tribute to the Ming Dynasty."

Next, Hue began to demolish illegal buildings everywhere.

A mission also set off towards Da Nang, ready to inquire about the coming of the soldiers.

A few days later, the mission sent by the king of Hue arrived in Da Nang in a hurry.

When he came to Da Nang, this official from the Ministry of Rites called Ruan Yuzhang saw that Da Nang had become a large construction site in front of him, and he did not return for a long time.

"Stop! Who are you?"

The patrol soldier stopped the mission and asked with guns.

"Xiaguan, under the command of King Annan of Hue, and Ruan Yuzhang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Ruan Yuzhang bowed his hands and saluted the soldiers on the outpost, "Please pass the message from the generals of the heavenly dynasty, and come to visit your chief general."

"Left servant of the Ministry of Rites? Still an official?"

The patrol squad leader glanced at Ruan Yuzhang, smiled and nodded, "Do you want to see my Master Hou? Okay, I'll take you there!"

With that, the inspector squad leader led Ruan Yuzhang and his party into Danang.

Ruan Yuzhang met Lu Li in a house outside Danang.

"Xiaguan, under the command of King Annan of Hue, the Minister of Rites Zuo Shilang, pay homage to the general of the heaven!"

Ruan Yuzhang bowed deeply to Lu Li, with a respectful gesture.

"I am not a general."

Lu Li smiled, and said, "The official Lu Li, Huating Hou, General Zhu Guo, Governor of Nanzhili, and Governor of Nanhai are three levels short of the general!"

"It turned out that Huating Hou came here to forgive sins!"

Ruan Yuzhang bowed deeply, and then asked Lu Li: "I don't know if Lord Hou is here, can I have a place to serve the country?"

"You mean to ask me why you are here?"

Lu Li took a look at Ruan Yuzhang and said with a smile: "Annan is a vassal of Daming, and I am obliged to protect the vassal. Benhou learned that the Japanese pirates looted Annan, burned, killed and plundered, and the people were not living, so I hereby lead the army to fight the Japanese."

"Uh...this..."

Hearing this, Ruan Yuzhang's face became stiff.

The vassal or something is just a name. Even the symbolic tribute "Peacock Ling" has not been given to Daming by King Annan of Hue for several years. Who really considers himself a vassal state?

Now, Daming Huating Hou led an army to garrison Da Nang in the name of protecting the vassal state. What...how can this be good?

"Master Hou, although there are pirates and bandits in Annan, it is not a cause for concern. You don't have to bother with the army of the heavens coming to quell the Japanese."

Ruan Yuzhang quickly declined, not wanting Lu Li to occupy Da Nang.

"It's not a question of whether you are tired or not!"

Lu Li stood up ~www.ltnovel.com~ and stood with his hands in his hands. He glanced at Ruan Yuzhang and said with a smile: "The land of the Daming domain is the territory of Daming. As the governor of the South China Sea, Benhou has the responsibility to guard the land and protect the people The sacred mission of the Ming soldiers to protect the territory cannot be questioned!"

From a legal point of view, the king of the vassal kingdom belongs to the vassal prince entrusted by Da Mingzi, and the territory of the vassal kingdom is nominally the territory of Ming Dynasty.

It's just...no one takes it seriously.

Now, Lu Li led his army to occupy Da Nang in the name of protecting the Daming vassal state and the Daming territory. It was completely upright and justifiable, and no one could refute it.

King Annan Hue disagrees? Don't you admit that this is the Daming domain, or that this is the territory of Daming? Do you want to rebel?

It just so happens that the ten thousand troops stationed in Da Nang are still doing nothing! Do you want to try whether Daming's guns are sharp?

Da Nang is only the first step. Cam Ranh Bay in the north and Champa (Mekong Delta) in the south must open up bases, station troops, and protect Daming territory!
