Zhu Youzhen was in Tianjin, and within two days, Tianjin's Jinyi Wei arrested all the officials involved in smuggling in Tianjin.

Yuan Keli didn't know when Zhu Youzhen began to let Jinyiwei thoroughly investigate the Tianjin Wei smuggling case, but seeing the speed of Jinyiwei's actions, time should be constant.

When did His Majesty start to pay attention to maritime affairs, did it start with Fujian Xiong Wencan's letter to appease Zheng Zhilong?

No, Your Majesty wouldn't have agreed to appease Zheng Zhilong because he wanted to open the sea, right? If this is the case, then His Majesty's plan is not far away.

First appease Zheng Zhilong and other coastal thieves, eliminate the worries of head-on conflict with the pirates after opening the sea, and then open the sea ban in the north, not to compete with the South China Sea bandits, and then rebuild the sailors, Your Majesty's plan is not as simple as opening the sea.

Thinking of this, Yuan Keli shook his head unconsciously, now that this young man is thinking, he is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Yuan Keli followed and inspected the Tianjin Navy Division this time, thinking that Zhu Youzhen wanted to revitalize the Navy Division, but he didn't think about it, but Zhu Youzhen brought back a string of corrupt officials who undermined the forbidden sea government.

The court is about to set off a bloody storm again.

Yuan Keli lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage in front, then turned his head to look at the string of Tianjin military and political officials who were escorted by the brocade guards in the back, sighed, and put the curtain down.

Although Zhu Youzhen is a young man, his ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain and his style of playing cards without common sense are no longer something that a feudal doctor like him can speculate.

For example, now, Yuan Keli thought that Zhu Youzhen was thinking about how to smoothly implement the opening of the sea in the court, but as everyone knows, Zhu Youzhen is complaining about the carriage he is riding in at the moment.

This broken car is really broken, it is not as good as the tractor I rode in when I was a child, even if the tractor lacks shock absorbers and bumps a little, but the wheels are also rubber, which is like this wooden wheel carriage, if it is pressed into the pit, it is a real ass squat. ’

Zhu Youzhen had a thick cushion under his buttocks, but he was still uncomfortable.

Afraid of something, Zhu Youzhen was slandering in his heart, and with a bang, the carriage really pressed into the pit, and Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that his ass no longer belonged to him.

After a bumpy ride, five days later, Zhu Youzhen finally sat back behind the imperial case of the Qianqing Palace, and several members of the cabinet naturally knew about Zhu Youzhen's arrest of officials in Tianjin in the name of participating in smuggling.

But to Zhu Youzhen's surprise, everyone was silent about this matter.

After Zhu Youzhen arrived in Beijing, the twenty or thirty prisoners who accompanied him really frightened the Beijing officials.

Since the eunuch case, it has been a long time since so many officials have been arrested in the capital at one time.

The officialdom in the capital suddenly fell silent, there was a will to appease Zheng Zhilong first, and there was a punishment for smuggling later, and everyone thought that Zhu Youzhen would strengthen the sea ban.

Among them, Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi, who knew the inside story, were also secretive about this matter, and they didn't know anything about it.

So, everyone fell silent.

It wasn't until 10 days later, after the trial of the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Three Law Divisions of the Criminal Department, that the killing, detaching, and exile of these 20 officials cut through the chaos with a quick knife, and the ripples that had not yet been set off were quickly smoothed out.

The court returned to calm, and Zhu Youzhen acted as if nothing had happened, except for the daily handling of the court, he focused all his energy on the creation of several factories in Xishan.

The research and development of glass and Jenny textile machines has reached a critical stage, and every five days, Zhu Youjian has to go to Xishan to give certain guidance at the bottleneck of tackling tough problems.

For the research and development of glass, sugar and textile machines, Zhu Youjian only knows some fragmentary principles, and he is not very clear about how to produce.

But it is these fragmentary principles that can often play a crucial role in the bottleneck period of R&D.

As a result, with the support of two scientists and top craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, the Generalissimo Mansion of Xishan gradually began to restore various objects in Zhu Youzhen's memory.

At the same time, at the behest of Zhu Youzhen, Xu Guangqi entrusted his friend Matteo Ricci to make a trip to Haojing Ao, and also recruited some shipbuilders in Suzhou, Fujian.

Everything is going according to plan, and Zhu Youzhen is still waiting for news.

Finally, at the end of August of the first year of Chongzhen, a letter from Fujian made Zhu Youzhen completely relieved.

Zheng Zhilong agreed to return to the imperial court, and the relevant appeasement matters have been discussed, so Zhu Youzhen can only make a final decision.

"Feng Zheng Zhilong is a guerrilla general of the Five Tigers, stationed in Quanzhou Zhongzuo, his younger brothers Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Zhihu, and Zheng Zhibao are guerrillas, and there are more than 30,000 soldiers under him, and each of them will be rewarded with three taels of silver."

Zhu Youzhen read Xiong Wencan's recital, and then laughed.

This old bear is really a talent, and it cost less than 100,000 taels of silver and a few false titles to appease the biggest pirate on the southeast coast, and the golden sign of Daming is really attractive. ’

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong's appeasement conditions were similar to those in the original history, Zhu Youzhen wrote a big 'quasi' on the song without thinking.

Later, he ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War to send people to Fujian to assist Xiong Wencan in handling relevant matters of appeasement.

A month later, everything was settled, and Zhu Youzhen could finally release the long-planned edict

In the first year of Chongzhen, on September 30, the General Administration Department suddenly issued an edict.

Tianjin Zuowei was promoted to a coastal special zone, opened the sea ban, set up a city shipping department, approved taxes, and traded the world's things.

In just a few words, it officially opened the prelude to the great voyage of the Ming Dynasty.

After the edict was issued, Zhu Youzhen sat quietly in the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the counterattack of the feudal stubborn forces.

Sure enough, an hour later, Li Guopu, a cabinet scholar, was the first to kneel outside the Huangji Gate.

After that, Liu Zongzhou, Xue Fengxiang, Guo Yunhou, Xue Zhen, Han Jisi, Ruan Dacheng and others came to the Huangji Gate one after another and knelt behind Li Guopu.

Compared with last year's knocking incident, this time the movement seems to be a bit bigger.

"Recruit in!"

After listening to Wang Chengen's recital, Zhu Youzhen did not have any waves in his heart, this scene was originally expected.

The group of court diehards led by Li Guopu didn't come to make trouble, and Zhu Youzhen would feel strange.

Knowing that the Son of Heaven summoned him, the gloomy faces of Li Guopu and the others eased a little, and His Majesty made a decision on such a major event as opening the sea, and he did not leak the slightest tone before.

Rao is the emperor's ninety-five honor, but it is unreasonable to act like this.

And not only that, but more importantly, Li Guopu and others were originally opposed to the opening of the sea.

Everyone walked along the corridor from the Huangji Gate to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, each thinking about the wording of the meeting His Majesty, but they were silent.

Before coming to the Qianqing Palace, he was about to go up the jade stairs, but was stopped by two imperial horse eunuchs standing in front of the steps.

Wang Chengen, who was walking in front of him, coughed when he saw this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has summoned you in the side hall."

When everyone heard this, they glanced at each other, and there was a look of surprise between their eyebrows: "Your Majesty summoned the minister, when did you change it to the side hall." ’
