Chapter 249: Where are the warriors of the Ming Dynasty
No boats?
"Wang Qing, aren't there so many boats in the imperial court?"
Wang Qiong smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, those boats can sail on the calm canal, but if they reach the sea, they can't withstand the wind and waves, and they can't reach the Japanese country, they will be crushed." ”
"Then, what about the Yangtze River Water Division? They also don't have ships? And Guangdong, don't you also have ships? ”
"Yes, but these ships, either too small, or can only sail along the coast, and cannot reach the Wa Kingdom. If he was forced to go, he was afraid that he would repeat the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty. ”
At this time, Zhu Houxi was dumbfounded, the Yuan Dynasty sent a large army twice before and after to attack the Wa Kingdom, but they all encountered typhoons. In fact, it is not accurate to say this, if the shipbuilding technology is excellent, the ship can withstand the waves, and the whole army will not be wiped out.
But the problem was that the Mongols did not believe in the Han people in the south, so they had to set up a province in Korea to conquer the east and let the Koreans build ships for the army...... Needless to say, hundreds of thousands of troops made dumplings twice.
However, the fiasco of the Yuan Dynasty also sounded the alarm for Lao Zhu, the Wa Kingdom was far away and poor, and it was difficult to fight, so he simply did not want to ask for it.
This is the origin of the country of non-conquest. But the question is how can you bear it now that the country is kicking its nose and face?
"Wang Qing, Emperor Taizong went to the Western Ocean seven times back then, and there were so many ships, but now the imperial court is gone?"
"It's gone! It's all gone! Wang Qiong's old face is like bitter gourd juice soaked out, which is a dilemma. Wang Qiong is quite familiar with the people who destroyed the charts back then, the charts are gone, the shipbuilding technology is gone, the shipyard is stopped, and the craftsmen are dismissed. The most terrible thing is that even tens of thousands of sailors have withered away.
Zhu Houxi was really angry, "That's it, I will pay the money, and your military department will immediately choose a site, build a shipyard, build a shipyard, recruit craftsmen, recruit sailors, and train soldiers...... You say, how much does it cost? I've got you covered! ”
It is rare that Zhu Houxi did not hesitate to spend money in order to vent his anger.
But Wang Qiong still spread her hands.
"Your Majesty, at the beginning of the country, there was actually the basis of overseas trade in the Yuan Dynasty, fleets, sailors, these are not lacking. Emperor Taizong made great efforts and was naturally able to form a fleet. If everything starts from scratch, Lao Chen estimates that there will be no ten years of work, and there will be no investment of one million taels per year, but I am afraid that I will not be able to see the results! ”
Wang Qiong is in her seventies, and he is sure that he will not see that day.
Zhu Houxi is young, but the problem is that he can't bear it for such a long time and such a big investment!
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was deep in thought, some people's faces showed a smile of relief.
Children, after all, need to be beaten by society.
No, Zhu Houxi is honest.
"Your Majesty!" Luo Qinshun said loudly: "The minister thinks that the Wa Kingdom is a barbarian, as a superior country, there is no need to have the same knowledge as them, Your Majesty only needs to prohibit the trade of the Wa Kingdom!" Entangled with them is really hurtful to the country's temperament. ”
"Yes, Luo Shangshu's words are indeed reasonable, please think twice, Your Majesty!"
The courtiers stood up one after another, and there were dozens of them.
Zhu Houxi roared angrily just now, but he was speechless at the moment.
"Scatter!"
His Majesty the Emperor announced irritably, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dispersed one after another.
Coming out of the Fengtian Palace, Luo Qinshun, Zhao Jian, and some old ministers and officials actually showed a smile of relief.
His Majesty the Emperor bowed his head!
What a delightful result!
If it weren't for Zhu Houxi's emotions, and he was afraid that Jin Yiwei would find out, he should really have a good drink and celebrate. The emperor must make him realize that his power is limited, and he can't expand indefinitely.
In the past, Yang Tinghe once wanted to bind the Son of Heaven in a very small cage, but was brutally bumped by Zhu Houxi and torn apart. Then there is the matter of Wang Gongchang, and the matter of Xishan...... The gods and Buddhas couldn't restrain Zhu Houxi, seeing that this little emperor was about to turn over the river and the sea, and do whatever he wanted.
Finally, there is a tribute dispute, what else do you have to do in the face of overseas Japanese countries?
You can't just let the Japanese kingdom bow down with a holy decree, right? You also can't fill the sea.
So, no matter what you think, the little emperor has no choice but to bow his head this time. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor cannot do nothing, and it seems that there is hope for the abolition of the City Division.
Those people in the southeast are ruthless enough!
Even if Yang Tinghe compares to them, he is insignificant.
Shousuke doesn't have military power, but those people do!
They had a fleet of ships, all the sailors on them were outlaws, and in front of them were a herd of pigs and sheep to be killed.
To put it mildly, even if Zhu Houxi forced the sailor to go to sea, the people in the southeast could destroy the sailor of the Ming Dynasty.
……
Do you really want to admit defeat?
In the palace, Zhu Houxi's face was full of grievances.
He had already killed the first assistant of the two dynasties, successfully defended the bloodline, and he set foot on the western mountain, turning tens of thousands of monks into slaves...... In the past two years, he has done as he pleases, promoted his cronies, implemented the Qingzhang, and collected commercial taxes, although there were some setbacks, but on the whole, he was successful and unstoppable.
Zhu Houxi was like a big wild boar on a rampage, looking at the vegetable field, but a chasm suddenly appeared in front of him, and it didn't work to rely on savage collisions.
Could it be that I also have to taste the bitterness of failure?
Zhu Houxi thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Go and call Wang Yue." ”
There is no way, at this time, you can only rely on the intelligence of Xiaofugui.
"Tell me, what's the solution?"
Wang Yue was very embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the best way at the moment is to rebuild the shipyard, restore the fleet, and go to the ocean like Emperor Taizong...... By the way, you can also hold the profits of the sea trade in your hands, which is a huge profit, enough to support any action of His Majesty. ”
Zhu Houxi groaned slightly and nodded helplessly.
"I'll do it. I'm not going to let those people see the jokes! Zhu Houxi clenched his fists, "Wang Yue, just in the Fengtian Palace, those people persuaded me not to give barbarian general knowledge, and to have the bearing of a country." That's! It's nothing more than taking others helplessly and comforting yourself! What is the kingdom? How can there be a kingdom that is bullied by barbarians? ”
"Shipyards need to be built, ships need to be built, and sailors need to be restored...... I'm not a fool, that set of self-deceptive rhetoric can't fool me, I'm not a child! ”
Zhu Houxi's statement almost set the tone for the future, and it is inevitable to go to the ocean. It's just that everything started from nothing, and it was too slow.
"Wang Yue, I asked you to come over and ask for a plan, I want the fastest and most effective way to punish the Japanese country and deter those people in the southeast, I want to tell them who has the final say in this world!"
Zhu Houxi's eyes were firm, and he looked directly at Wang Yue, "You must have a way, right?" ”
Wang Yue's eyes blinked, and he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if you want to say a way, the minister really has it, but it's a little too risky." ”
"That's better than no way, say it!"
"Your Majesty, when it comes to the fleet, my father actually has some of them, and they can sail on the open sea."
Zhu Houxi frowned, "Do you have a sea boat at home?" Then how did Wang Qiong say no? ”
"It's true that the imperial court doesn't have it, but the big families in the southeast do...... Strictly speaking, the minister's family is not his own, but cooperates with some maritime merchants in the southeast. Also, those leaders in charge of the fleet are not from our family, and they will not obey our commands, at least not to go to the Wa Kingdom. ”
Zhu Houxi's face became darker and darker the more he listened, these maritime merchants, no wonder they wanted to stop the imperial court! Dare to love them, they are all eaten and wiped clean.
"So what to do? Raiding the house? ”
"Your Majesty, do we have a reliable force in the southeast? If there is a large-scale transfer of troops, will it alarm them? Moreover, these people have a fleet and sailors in their hands, and it is not difficult to pull up thousands or tens of thousands of people at will, and to bring disaster to the sea! ”
The more Zhu Houxi listened, the more angry he became!
"After all, I have no soldiers and no generals, otherwise how could I be bullied by them? But Wang Yangming, who knows the most about soldiers, is guarding the system at home again, which is really infuriating! ”
"Your Majesty, if you want to say that there is a candidate to lead the fleet and go to the Wa Kingdom, there are really people here." Wang Yue suddenly said quietly.
"Who?"
"Those Xiyi!"
Zhu Houxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and danced with his hands, "That's right! They can all sail around the world, how can they not reach the Japanese country? Little rich, you are really a treasure! ”
Wang Yue snorted lightly, don't be happy too early!
"Your Majesty, although the Japanese people do not have the ability to treat one as ten in the war report, they are not a waste of dim sum. Even if the fleet can pass, if we can't defeat the Japanese Kou, not only will we not be able to get angry, but we will also embarrass Daming! ”
Zhu Houxi sat on the dragon chair again, his face full of confusion and helplessness...... Could it be that in the great Ming Dynasty, there is no one who can be used?
