I only heard him say to Zhang Mingwei: "Liaodongbo also said in the good news that the land battle is insufficient, so although the naval battle is won, if the Dongjiang soldiers want to go ashore, it will still be difficult if they are prepared to build a captive. Now we have to bring troops over, which is a good thing. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then changed his words and said: "However, the military salary is easy to say, the matter of grain and grass, Shanhaiguan is also okay, but it is difficult to do in Dongjiang Town!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he also nodded, and said to Zhang Mingwei: "In the past, Dongjiang Town still paid some tribute to North Korea, but now North Korea has obeyed the orders of Jianlu, and the Phi Island, where Dongjiang Town is located, does not produce grain. This grain and grass limited the strength of Dongjiang Town. What do you think, sir, is it better to solve it? ”

He didn't ask if he could solve it, but directly asked how it would be better.

It can be seen that in his heart, he feels that Zhang Mingwei must have a way, and the only difference is the quality of the method!

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he said without hesitation: "Isn't there a way to open the Chinese law?" If there is not enough grain in Shandong, it is better to let the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River transport the grain over. ”

Speaking of this, he remembered something, so he pondered for a moment and then added: "It stands to reason that if the grain of a province in Shandong is to be supplied to the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, there is absolutely no problem. Now that this question is asked, it should also be a serious problem of land annexation in Shandong, right? ”

"Exactly!" When Tobe Shangshu heard this, he nodded hurriedly.

In fact, by this time in the late Ming Dynasty, not to mention Shandong, land annexation across the country was very serious.

In many cases, the so-called law that the dynastic cycle does not exceed 300 years is, to a large extent, that the land annexation of a dynasty is too serious, and it will not take 300 years to have problems, which will lead to the demise of the dynasty.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately asked: "Have you found out that the land in Shandong is now concentrated in the hands of those people?" ”

When Hubu Shangshu heard this, he glanced at Emperor Chongzhen? He immediately replied, "Mainly under the names of the three vassal kings?" And also...... And ......"

The Ming Dynasty has crowned a total of six vassal kings in Shandong, and three of them have been finished? Three left? It's still there today. They are the King of Lu, the King of De and the King of Heng.

In the original history? Among the three vassal kings, King Lu is the vassal king supported by Zhang Huangyan? died of asthma during the anti-Qing process; Two other vassal kings? It surrendered to the Manchus, and was finally clicked by the Manchus in 1646.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen listened to the stammering of the Hubu Shangshu above, and the corners of his mouth twitched? Immediately said for him: "There is another one?" It's Yan Shenggong! He has more fields in the name of the Confucian family than any vassal king in Shandong! ”

After finishing speaking, he concluded: "The fields in Shandong, with the four of them, have the most fields, and the others wait? Of course, there are, but they are not particularly prominent. Have I discussed with Zhu Qing before? It hasn't been decided yet, what do you think, sir? ”

How else can you see it!

Zhang Mingwei knew it when he heard it? The fields of the three feudal kings, because there is already a precedent? Actually, it's not that hard to deal with. The main thing? In fact, it is Yan Shenggong's.

For readers? This Yan Sheng Gong is sacred, and it respects the face of Confucianism. There is too much land under his name, and if he wants to be moved, these scholars are a little unable to do it.

Since it has not been determined, it is obvious that the problem lies with Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhang Mingwei felt that he would not guess wrong, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, all the vassal kings had a lot of land under their names because of hereditary reasons, which had affected local stability. Therefore, there is no need to seal out all the vassal kings.

In this case, the land under the name of this Yan Sheng Gong is more than the land of the vassal king, so should it be dealt with?

And the princes of the court, who were born as scholars, were in awe of the Confucian family, and did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to move the Confucian family.

Therefore, it has not been determined.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei asked: "If I say it casually, I believe some people will not agree." However, the amount of land of the Kong family is indeed a bit shocking, which will affect the peace and contentment of the people of Shandong. So I'll talk about it until I think about it. There should be no doubt that the affairs of the vassal king can be done first! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen stared at him, and suddenly understood something from his eyes, so he didn't ask, but just clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then let's do what Mr. said first." ”

When Du Yinxi and the others heard this, they were also relieved, but fortunately, they were not embarrassed.

Subsequently, I heard Emperor Chongzhen ask Zhang Mingwei again: "Liaodong is a great victory, how do you think you should reward it?" ”

Is there anything else going on?

Zhang Mingwei thought in his heart, but he still thought for a while and said: "It must be in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, but I can make a suggestion." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought to himself that this is not nonsense, he just wants to hear your advice.

So, he immediately said, "Sir, please speak!" ”

Zhang Mingwei saw that everyone in the hall was looking at him, so he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "The victory on Phi Island is a naval battle. Since then, the sea control has been in the hands of our Ming Dynasty, and the Jianyu can only stare dryly on the shore. In other words, in the future, the Denglai Naval Division will actually be a transport fleet, which is a bit of a waste! ”

His statement made no one in the hall expect it, and unexpectedly, one by one listened attentively.

"In the future, the opponent of the Daming Navy Division is a real enemy at sea!" Zhang Mingwei said, seeing that they showed a hint of doubt, he gave them an example and said, "The sailors of Xiyi countries are the strongest sailors today. As long as there is wealth wherever there is, even if it is thousands of miles away, it will pass. If the local force is not strong enough, it will end up being enslaved by them. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Maodi couldn't help it, so he asked Zhang Mingwei: "Guogong, does this have anything to do with us?" ”

"Yes, they are now under the jurisdiction of the local government in Ho Jing O, and they can be regarded as keeping to themselves." When Du Yinxi heard this, he also echoed Zuo Maodi's words, "If the court pays money, they will even come to help the court fight." ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately looked at them and asked, "What about the beginning?" Are the Francophiles of Ho Jing O honest in business? It's not like this if I'm convinced! Also, the same is true of Hongyi, but he was defeated by the Fujian Navy. These Xiyi, those are all from wolves! ”

When Zuo Maodi heard this, he was still a little puzzled and said, "Isn't it okay now?" We're strong enough that they can only listen to us! ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately looked at it and asked, "When the vassal king divides overseas, will there be a conflict?" I can tell you that many places overseas have been colonized and enslaved by them! If you want the vassal kings to be divided, you must take it from them. ”

When he said this, his voice was cold: "And over there in Luzon, how many times have my Ming people been slaughtered by those Xiyi?" Not to mention the Wanli period, it was in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, there was one. Even if there is no plan for King Zhou to divide Luzon, should this blood debt be recovered? ”

Hearing this, Zuo Maodi stopped talking, and the others stopped talking.

At this time, even if they were the most strategically far-sighted Du Yinxi in the late Ming Dynasty, most of their vision was only limited to their own one-third of an acre.

Compared to them, Emperor Chongzhen, who has been brainwashed by Zhang Mingwei, now has a higher vision than them.

Therefore, when he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said to Zhang Mingwei: "What does that gentleman mean, how to reward Denglai Sailor?" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately replied: "Set up the Sailor Martial Arts Hall to reward the meritorious soldiers of the Sailor Division, so that they can enter the Sailor Martial Arts Hall to further learn the ability of the Xiyi Naval Division to fight; For Zheng Fusong, Fu and his parents, let them come to Beijing to be rewarded. And keep Zheng Zhilong in Jingshi, so that he can be appointed as a doctor in the Wubei Hall of the Water Division. As for the Fujian Sailor, Zheng Fusong can be asked to take over. Denglai Sailor let Zheng Hongkui take over. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mingwei added: "It's probably this idea, after the country is stable, it will be the time for the Ming Dynasty to divide the vassal king, at that time, the water master is the top priority, and you have to take precautions!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately applauded: "This is so in line with my intentions, then it is so decided!" ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly asked Zhang Mingwei again: "Can the money from the southeast coast be returned to the imperial court?" ”

Gu Yinxi and the others were a little inexplicable when they heard it, but Zhang Mingwei knew that Emperor Chongzhen was referring to Zheng Zhilong's protection money at sea.

Tens of millions of taels a year, no wonder Emperor Chongzhen is worried!

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, sooner or later all the money will belong to the imperial court!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen was happy. When he looked up, he saw that it was already dark, and said with a smile: "So, let's stop here for today!" Mr. has just returned to Beijing, and he must be tired. ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he was happy in his heart, or his "quasi-father-in-law" understood his heart, so he nodded and said: "I'm tired of traveling, I'm really a little tired!" ”

When Du Yinxi and the others saw it, they naturally didn't say anything more, so they said goodbye one after another and dispersed.

When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he was ready to follow.

It's been more than a year, and I'm going home!

But who knows, before he had time to turn around and leave, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen had already come, held his hand and said: "Mr. has worked hard, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I miss it very much." Why don't I sleep with my husband tonight and talk all night! ”

"......" Zhang Mingwei was speechless when he heard it, and he wanted to scold a little! Am I normal, okay?

"Your Majesty, I'm tired and need to rest!"

Hearing Zhang Mingwei's words, Emperor Chongzhen retreated and said, "Also, it's because I'm not thoughtful." That's good, eat in the palace and then leave, I have already informed the queen before, and the family has not eaten together! How is it? ”
