Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Old Port Shi Family

Jiang Gui left Jingshi in a rather hurry.

Because things in the northwest are getting more and more urgent, and the intelligence is getting clearer and clearer.

Adai Khan and his heavy generals, Duoer only broke through the new city camp, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Jiang Gui couldn't stay in Beijing for long at all, and under the arrangement of the British Gong Zhang Fu, he hurriedly went west with thousands of soldiers and horses from the Beijing battalion.

These thousands of Beijing camps are naturally elite. This is for Jiang Gui to be the team.

As for the other soldiers and horses, they are going to be requisitioned to the Northwest Guard.

As for what the Northwest Guard Institute has become, even Zhang Fu doesn't dare to pack a ticket now. What Jiang Gui can do when he goes here depends on his own ability.

However, Zhu Qizhen's desire to leave the palace was also stumped by other things.

for the envoys of the nations are coming.

Especially on the South Sea side.

Now the Ming Dynasty is still in the South Seas countries, and the last time the Ming Dynasty went to the Western Ocean was only a few years ago. The countries of the South Seas have not forgotten it.

It's just that for many countries, it takes a lot of time to travel to and from China, and it often takes a year, such as Zhancheng, which was occupied several times in the history of the Ming Dynasty, because of the bad relationship with Annan, and it was not possible to turn to Annan to go north. Several times on the boat, I encountered a storm and almost died.

There are also government dispatches to send them back.

So, of course, Zhu Qizhen has been on the throne for a year.

However, with the exception of Annam, the reaction of the Nanyang countries was relatively slow.

However, Zhu Qizhen didn't care too much about the situation in the Nanyang countries. But this time, Zhu Qizhen took a fancy to it, because the Shi family of the old port propaganda consolation department came.

Zhu Qizhen knew through Dongchang that the seemingly normal tribute of the Shi family was actually behind Wang Jinghong's efforts.

Wang Jinghong sent someone to contact the Shi family, but the Shi family's situation in the old port was not good.

Outside the Shi family, there are Javanese Manjapahit Boyi aggressive, and inside there are the old nobles of the Three Buddhas, who do not want the Han people to ride on their heads.

With the ability of the Shi family, paying tribute to Beijing is something beyond their ability.

Even the Shi family may not have subjective intentions to come to Beijing.

This is also reported by Wang Jinghong, and Zhu Qizhen only then knows that there are actually contradictions within the Shi family.

First of all, the founder of the Shi family, Shi Jinqing is also a generation of heroes, he feels two points sensitively, the first point is that the imperial court's action against Nanyang may not be sustainable. Second, even if it can be sustained, his son Shi Jisun is not the right to harvest.

So he passed on the Shi family to his daughter, Second Sister Shi.

Of course, this is because Second Sister Shi's ability is better than her son, and I am afraid it is also because Second Sister Shi married a local to bridge the contradiction between the two parties.

It is even said that the attitude of the Shi family is very problematic now, or the attitude of the second sister Shi is very problematic.

Zhu Qizhen regarded the Shi family as a lonely minister in the South China Sea in his heart, and I am afraid that the Shi family may not have the reason to bear this name.

Shi Jisun himself has actually been dissatisfied with this status quo. Even this incident at that time caused a storm. Emperor Taizong himself sealed the old port Xuanwei Division is Shi Jisun. When Zheng He announced the decree, he found Shi Jinqing's will. But it was passed on to his daughter and son-in-law.

At that time, after Zheng He weighed the pros and cons, he decided to change the second sister Shi as the consolation envoy.

Thinking about what Zheng He thought at that time, he can also figure out a thing or two. As Wang Zhen analyzed that day, although Zhang Zhong's words were conclusive, in fact, Emperor Taizong's subjective intention to run Nanyang was not too strong.

Zheng He also understands this, and naturally does not want to regenerate incidents in Nanyang. If you dig deeper. Zheng He is back, and Zheng Erjie's husband is also back.

This is not necessarily the reason why Zheng He is reluctant to use force.

Otherwise, how can a place where Chinese gather tolerate fathers passing on their daughters instead of passing on their sons?

After all, in a foreign country, the Han people are a minority. Assimilation with the locals quite a bit.

The strategic vacuum of the Ming Dynasty's withdrawal from the South Seas was soon occupied by another country, which was Majapahit. And this country is precisely the return, and it is the vanguard of the mission.

Wang Jinghong even made it clear that Second Sister Shi is unreliable.

So this time, on behalf of the Shi family, it was not the person of the second sister Shi, but the eldest son of Shi Jisun, Shi Chang hated.

For the position of the ambassador of the old port, Shi Jisun and Second Sister Shi had a complete falling out. That's why he chose such a name for his son.

It was also Wang Jinghong who went out and sent people to find this key manpower.

I want to make the old port a nail for the Ming Dynasty in the South Seas. It was necessary to carry out a blood exchange of the old port.

Shi Erjie's policy of following the customs of the countryside cannot be said to be wrong, at least for the Shi family and the Han people who follow the Shi family a good future, do not place hope on domestic support, and integrate with the local aborigines, after a few generations, it is the local noble surname, as for whether you remember that you are Han, it doesn't matter.

But let the Shi family become the nail that Daming inserted in the South Seas.

Not to mention anything else, just like the interruption of going to the West in history, what should the Shi family do? What should I do with the tens of thousands of Han people who follow the Shi family? Even now, Zhu Qizhen intends to reopen Nanyang. But this is not necessarily a good thing for the old port.

As the enclave of the Ming Dynasty in the South Seas. I'm afraid it's going to be the focus.

Even if the Ming Dynasty can really incorporate Nanyang into the territory in the future, I don't know what will happen after the war. However, the Shi family still exists, and it is still between the two.

After Zhu Qizhen got the news, it took a while to hold back his thoughts. Naturally, he wanted to see it, and this Shi Chang hated to do it.

If it really doesn't work, the situation in the old port will be irreparable, so we can only give up.

More on that later.

Although after this, it is likely to be decades later.

Such a thing as receiving foreign envoys has its own Ministry of Rites to do it, but after Shi Chang was settled down by the Ministry of Rites, he was admitted to the palace by the Jinyi Guard on the same day.

Zhu Qizhen soon saw Shi Chang's hatred.

He originally thought that this Shi Chang hated, and his family background could not be wrong, after all, the Shi family was the emperor of the old port. But this Shi Chang Hate can also be regarded as being born with a golden key.

No matter how you look at it, it should be fine skin and tender meat.

But now it looks very different.

Shi Changhe is a short man. Although he was wearing a brocade dress, he did not have a bit of rich temperament, but he had a reckless feeling. There is also a scar in the corner of his eye.

Even when Shi Chang hated to enter the hall, Zhu Qizhen felt Li Dachuan's body beside him move slightly, but he was a little nervous.

He immediately realized that this Shi Chang hated probably not good stubble. At least three or five lives on the hand.

Zhu Qizhen said: "From Shi Qing's point of view, he has not been in the old port for a long time. ”

Shi Chang hated that his voice had a little Fujian accent, but fortunately, the official dialect was not bad, just a little accent, he said: "The minister's father is here, and the second aunt became the consolation envoy of the old port, and she died of depression." In the old port, the minister was deceived by the Srivijaya people, killed people and seized ships, and took 300 people from his father's old department to crisscross the sea and do business without capital. ”

As soon as this remark came out, not only Li Dachuan was nervous, but even Wang Zhen secretly complained that Wang Jinghong had done something to let a pirate come to see His Majesty.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen secretly applauded, Wang Jinghong understood his thoughts too well.

In the position of the old port, even if a champion is sent over, he may not be able to defend it, but the characters who are beaten by Shi Chang hate among the pirates may not have any loyalty, but they have the ability to gain a firm foothold in the environment of the South Seas.

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Qing is very honest. ”

Shi Chang said hatefully: "The prince sent someone to tell me, if I want to be at sea for the rest of my life, I don't need to say anything, but if I want to regain the old Hong Kong family business, come to see Your Majesty." ”

"Shengming has no fault with Your Majesty, and the ministers naturally dare not hide it."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Do you know anything about the old port? ”

Shi Chang said hatefully: "Chen grew up in the old port, and now there are many relatives and friends in the old port. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "So how is the old port doing? ”

Speaking of other things, Shi Chang may not know, but he understands the old port too well, and said: "Although the old port is good, unless the imperial court goes to the West again, it will not be the land of the imperial court in four or five years." ”

Zhu Qizhen naturally knows this. But he still asked, "What do you mean by that?" He thought that Shi Chang hated to say how Second Sister Shi was, but he never expected that Shi Chang hated to say a big article, directly talking about the root of why the old port was like this. made Zhu Qizhen impressed. It was also not mentioned in Wang Jinghong's recital before.
