Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile, unconsciously his decision could already influence the situation in the court, since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, his prestige foundation has been constantly consolidated, and his influence far exceeds that of the historical prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao picked up the last letter sent by Yang Xian, the words in it were already a little desperate, and the words written were also very explicit, completely losing the style of the banquet.

Zhu Biao shook his head in disappointment, this is also a reason why he did not return to Beijing immediately after dealing with the relocation, Yang Xian is a vassal of the East Palace no matter what, and he usually gets along with him well, and Zhu Biao also went to his birthday banquet in person.

If Zhu Biao is in Beijing, Yang Xian comes to the door crying and asks for help, and Zhu Biao can't refuse directly, after all, Hu Weiyong's side has not launched a general attack, and Yang Xian's incriminating evidence has not yet been brought to the table, so it is reasonable that Zhu Biao should take care of one or two.

Otherwise, what do other Eastern Palace vassals think, simply take the opportunity to inspect the coastal area, and after the inspection, it is estimated that this matter will be over, after all, Yang Xian is not dead, and the future chess game will not be able to play.

Zhu Biao got up and walked out, and when he stood up, he could clearly feel the obvious shaking, after all, it was at sea, and Liu Jin, who heard the voice, followed with a pale face, and the whole person was very unenergetic.

Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jin and said, "Let's go into the house and rest." ”

Liu Jin squeezed out a reluctant smile and said, "It's windy outside, the slave maid will put on your clothes." ”

Zhu Biao shook his head, Liu Jin was seasick, this guy has eased a lot, he just vomited in the dark, and he slept for a long time before he recovered, but it seems that he still can't get used to it.

After walking outside, there were more people around Zhu Biao, all of whom were specially arranged by Jinghaihou, these people all grew up by the sea, and it was a trivial matter to go into the sea to fish alone, and their existence was to prevent Zhu Biao from falling into the water and being rescued quickly.

Walking to the fence, the color of the sea water is much deeper than expected, it looks inexplicably a little scary, and the salty sea breeze is also very uncomfortable on the face, which makes people feel very insecure, and no one wants to go to sea since ancient times.

Along the way, the fleet also passed through many guards, all of which were built by the imperial court to protect the coastal people due to the disturbance of the Japanese invaders, and they lived much better than other places by eating the sea.

After passing through Lingshanwei, he headed towards Weihaiwei, although he is not called this name now, but it doesn't matter, just change his name when he returns to the court.

After approaching the coast, Zhu Biao felt that the name of the Yellow Sea was really not called in vain, probably because the Yellow River had been flowing into the Yellow Sea for more than seven or eight hundred years, so that some of the small amount of sediment carried by the river water dyed the water near the Yellow Sea from blue to yellow.

This Zhu Biao eats seafood for a meal, and the food is a little like those lovely cows in Fengyang Mansion, I already knew that I would bring two heads before departure, and the seafood is not not delicious, but who can stand it if I eat it every day.

The fleet docked in Weihaiwei, and the officials of the nearby Laizhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion came early to greet them, Zhu Biao did not refuse this time, and had a good meal after getting off the ship, although it was still mainly seafood, but after all, it was on land, no one dared to eat beef, and mutton was still available.

The next day, Zhu Biao began to inspect, whether it is the health center or the state capital, the situation here is not very good, the people are also very poor, after all, this is not around the capital, and the imperial court does not have enough resources to supply development, plus every year the Japanese invaders come back to intrude, everything is in tatters.

At first, Zhu Biao wondered if the local officials were not fulfilling their responsibilities and even had corrupt and colluding behavior, after all, there was a lot to be done here whether it was selling materials to Goryeo or Japan.

But after investigation, it was found that the situation was okay, Zhu Biao knew the truth that when the water was clear, there would be no fish, and he would not be overly investigated for some situations, after all, the court was indeed very low.

In the next few days, the Marquis of Jinghai stayed in the guard post to arrange military affairs, while Zhu Biao went down to many villages and towns, and these people suffered greatly from the decades of the Japanese Rebellion, and there were basically examples of women being taken away in every household, and their hatred and fear of the Japanese were indescribable.

Zhu Biao's first reaction was not to move them inward, at least temporarily before the Ming Dynasty accumulated the strength to completely exterminate the Japanese invaders, so that the Japanese could not loot supplies along the coast, coupled with the deterrence of the Ming Naval Division, it should allow them to divert their energy to Goryeo next door.

But this matter is not very realistic, they are different from the people of Shanxi, relying on the sea to eat the sea has been their survival habit for thousands of years, they are definitely unwilling, the imperial court did not have a policy of allowing the coastal people to move inward in the early years, but the response is very bad, most of the people are unwilling to leave the seaside where they depend.

What's more, it is good to say that the rebellion of the Japanese on the southern coast is not only because of the Japanese pirates, but also because of the coastal people who collude with the Japanese pirates themselves, after all, the south is rich, and silk, tea, iron, etc. cannot be sold in China now, and if they can be sold overseas, they can make a lot of money.

The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulated severe punishment methods: "If the traitors and heroes and the military and civilians build illegal ships with more than three masts, they will take the prohibited goods to the sea, go to Fanguo to buy and sell, sneak into the pirates, conspire to gather, and plunder the good people as a guide, and the offender will be punished according to his own law, and the head will still be shown to the public, and the whole family will send border guards to fill the army."

However, since the direct target of the implementation of the maritime ban policy was the subjects and not the anti-Ming forces at sea, it not only failed to become an effective means of coastal defense, but even intensified some contradictions in the coastal areas.

The people of the coastal areas depend on the sea for their livelihood and life, or engage in fishery production or maritime trade. The strict ban on transportation to foreign vassals has blocked the normal livelihood of the people in the coastal areas.

The people on the seashore often go into the sea to be thieves, and they gather for their lives, and the sea is strictly forbidden, and if they have no food, they turn to the seashore.

Zhu Biao naturally knew this, and the reason why he didn't object was because the time was not ripe, and it was useless to kill as many as he wanted, and they would make a comeback in Japan if they breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the three parties of Daming, Goryeo and Japan worked together to encircle and suppress them, completely cut off the land where they could recuperate and live, so that they could only drift alone on the sea, which could be completely solved in a few years.

But now the Ming Dynasty can at most let Goryeo cooperate, the Japanese side of the war is endless, they don't even have a person who can be in charge, the third generation of the Ashikaga shogunate in history to unify Japan, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, hopes to purge the remnants of the Southern Dynasty, fight against sea pirates, but also want to develop trade with the Ming Dynasty, obtain rich benefits.

As a result, relations between the two countries were restored, and during the Yongle period, the two sides established a trade relationship with the Ashikaga shogunate, and the Ming Dynasty gave the Ashikaga shogunate a trade certificate, that is, the Kanhe, and the Japanese side came to China to pay tribute and trade with the Kanga.

The Ming Dynasty developed relations with Japan, mainly in order to eliminate the invasion of the Japanese in the coastal areas of China, and the Ashikaga shogunate also actively suppressed the Japanese and achieved great results.
