Chapter 214 The Foundation of the Founding of the State
Jiangsu, Taicang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hundreds of ships covered the entire river outside the port of Taicang, and countless pirates in disorganized clothes carried swords, constantly driving a large number of people to carry things. Farther away, there was also the sky-high firelight, and countless people fighting the fire, the sound was huge and chaotic.
Standing on the bow of the largest fortune ship, the third son of the Wang family, Wang Siyuan was looking at the scene in front of him with a calm expression, fleeing across the sea, plotting to seize pirates, plundering the southeast, attacking the state and breaking the county, since last year, a series of things have been tempered, so that he can face these calmly at the moment.
Behind him were Yan Siqi, Xu Xinsu, and Zheng Zhilong, all three of whom were of different ages, but they all looked at everything that happened in Taicang Port at this moment with shocked faces.
"Dragon....dragon head, this ......" Zheng Zhilong, the youngest swallowed hard, and asked in a trembling tone, "This is grain, let's get it so easily?" ”
Even if the facts are right in front of him, Zheng Zhilong still can't believe what he sees with his eyes, this is Cao Liang, it is Cao Liang for the emperor to eat, so he has it?
"Or else?" Wan Siyuan had a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was young after all, and the city was not so deep, Zheng Zhilong's expression was the best flattery, which made him have a big intestine.
"I told you a long time ago that my Wang family has a wide network of contacts here and a deep foundation, even though he is now in exile overseas, he has not lost much of this connection."
"But this is grain, those who are officials are not afraid of the emperor's blame, and they can't eat and walk around?" Zheng Zhilong still looked incredulous, in his impression, how could the government dare to collude with the bandits in such a falling matter!!
"Blame from above?" Wang Siyuan sneered, "It is precisely because we want to avoid this, so just now we are going to attack Taicang County, set fire to make the momentum out, let everyone know that we have been here, and we have set fire here, and when the time comes, or spread, this warehouse will naturally be burned, who knows, these grains were moved away by us?" ”
"The grain is from the public, the gold and silver we give are their own, the black eyes can't see the silver, there are benefits to start, they don't do it, as long as the traces are covered afterwards, they are just reporting a letter of Japanese invaders, burning down the granary, how big can it be."
"The entire southeast can't stop us, and it's normal that the small Taicang County can't keep the grain, they will be reprimanded by the peak at most, and the officials don't expect it to fall, so good, how could they not agree." Hearing this explanation, the young Zheng Zhilong was dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
He never thought that the officialdom would be so dark, and those well-dressed old men would be so skillful in doing things that harm the imperial court.
"This batch of grain was exchanged for our 200,000 taels of silver, and that is half of the harvest we have harvested from this plundering of the southeast. Zheng Yiguan, you didn't agree to live or die at the beginning, saying that it was a meat bun beating a dog, but now you can see the effect. Xu Xinsu, who knows a lot about officialdom, also said.
The continuous explanations made Zheng Zhilong completely accept the facts in front of him, and also made him realize the darkness and corruption of the Ming officialdom.
"With this batch of grain, we can gain a foothold in the Ryukyus." Yan Siqi looked at the big bags of grain in front of him, and his face couldn't help but smile, "It's still the leader who has a way to solve this problem easily." ”
"Indeed, the wisdom of the dragon head is profound, and we can also achieve something great if we attach it to the tail." Xu Xinsu said eagerly, and in his heart, he couldn't help but think of the idea that Wang Siyuan talked to them freely in Pingdo.
The eagerness and anticipation in his heart completely diluted the fear in his heart, thinking about it at the moment, he despised his previous self a little, wasn't he the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, I, a thief who was at large, even if he burned some timber shipyards, he could still go to the sea to chase me in person.
Xu Xinsu's flattery made Wang Siyuan smile brightly again, in order to cover it up and maintain his image, he changed the topic and said, "This batch of grain can feed fifty or sixty thousand people until next year, and now the fleet we are waiting for has a total of more than 20,000 sailors, that is to say, we can also recruit 40,000 people." ”
"Now that the Ming Kingdom has lost Liaodong, it is all territory one after another, and the emperor's attention is estimated to be over there, and he has no time to pay attention to us, and the sailors of the entire southern country have been mostly wiped out by it, and the sea is at our mercy at this time. We must not let go of such a great opportunity, and we must consolidate our foundation and completely occupy Ryukyu Island. ”
"When the time comes......" Wang Siyuan turned around and looked at them with burning eyes, "We can open the foundation and establish a country and divide one side!" ”
The eight words of opening the foundation and establishing a country and separating one party completely made the hearts of the three of them boil with blood, and their eyes were also flashing with infinite ambition. The bright future described by Wang Siyuan completely attracted the three pirates whose ancestors had never been an official for eighteen generations.
It was precisely because of this blueprint drawn by Wang Siyuan that they turned down and completely surrendered to him.
Forbidden city.
With a warm smile on the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth, he returned to the Qianqing Palace, and the joy of getting along with Zhu Youzhen and several other sisters made him completely relax and find a trace of home that he hadn't felt for a long time. What made him even happier was that Zhu Huiyuan, who had been extremely hostile to him in the past, was not indifferent and got a lot closer to him.
She is his sister after all, and he is very happy that the relationship between the two can improve.
"Your Majesty, this is the excerpt that Luo Yangxing just sent." Just when he wanted to go back and have a good rest, Liu Ruoyu suddenly appeared with a letter in his hand.
"Luo Yang! Good guy, I only heard his name two days ago, and I handed him over today, so I didn't come to ask for credit. Zhu Youxiao joked, but the movements in his hands were not slow, he turned over the fold and looked at it carefully.
This look made Zhu Youxiao slightly surprised in his heart. Luo's excerpt is not an invitation to merit, nor is it an impeachment, but a book that raises some profound questions.
What Luo Yangxing said was not complicated, that is, he listed some things that he encountered that could not be handled according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, asked for countermeasures, and put forward some of his own opinions and ideas.
From the words between the lines, as well as the countermeasures faintly proposed at the end, Zhu Youxiao understood that he had been thinking about this problem for more than a day or two.
If someone in the cabinet comes to see this book, maybe he just thinks that he is making a big fuss, and these things, don't you just get them after you handle them fairly, and you still have to have some legal basis, it's really nothing to look for. Wouldn't it be better to have no legal basis, and the degree of freedom to deal with it is greater, and it is all in your own control.
But Zhu Youxiao's vision is not comparable to people in this era after all, and he saw a problem from Luo Yangxing's twists and turns, the legislative problem.
His countermeasures have already involved the legislative aspect.
"What a underestimate of him!" Zhu Youxiao sighed, threw away the recital, and went back to the house to sleep, this problem is not something that can be touched now.
Behind. Liu Ruoyu put the fold away inexplicably, and looked at His Majesty the Emperor in puzzlement, not knowing what his reaction was, but the only thing he could be sure of was that Luo was very good, and his ability made the emperor marvel, the future was bright, the future was bright.
