Is the sea ban good or bad?

If you look at this problem from the perspective of modern people, you don't have to think about it, it is naturally bad, and the impact is extremely bad!

What are you kidding, don't let people go to sea.

Isn't the business done?

Is it self-produced and self-sold?

Does the seclusion leave the family far behind?

But people here don't think so, at least, the ruling class doesn't.

For example, when they were emperors, they didn't do business, and they didn't know how much income sea trade could bring, so the emperors of the Ming Dynasty supported the sea ban, and once the pirates and the pirates got into trouble, they implemented a strict sea ban.

They didn't want to do anything else, they just wanted to save trouble, ban the sea, and keep all the pirates and pirates and pirates out of the way.

As for the officials, a large part of them are heavy on agriculture and light on business, and they don't look down on business at all, so if the sea is banned, it will be banned, and they also want to save trouble simply.

There are also some who have a certain relationship with the merchants, or are themselves merchants, and they also support the sea ban!

Why?

It's very simple, the sea is banned, no one else is allowed to go to the sea to do business, and only the merchants they control can go overseas to make money, so they will send it!

This is the case for the maritime giants, and the same is true for Yan Song and his party, they are all interested in the profits of maritime trade and want to do their own business, so they strongly support the sea ban!

Zhang Juzheng doesn't know this, at least he doesn't know it very well at this time, he is just an ordinary reader, and he is also an inland reader, and the sea ban has nothing to do with him at all.

He thought about it carefully, and then estimated: "This sea ban may be right, after all, the sea is so vast, the imperial court can't control it at all, if some people go to sea to collude with pirates and pirates, won't the Ming coast be chaotic again." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, Zhang Juzheng's thoughts are probably the thoughts of most court officials, the sea ban is actually not directly related to them, but they all think that it is better to ban it than to ban it, because it saves trouble!

How to explain this problem?

He thought about it, but he still didn't explain, because it was too troublesome to explain, and people who hadn't been in contact with it might not be able to understand it, so it was better to let Zhang Juzheng and them look at the facts, see the facts, and believe that they would understand.

While the two were talking, the fleet had already entered Denglai Water City.

This water city was originally set up to defend against Japanese troubles, its scale is not very large, the surrounding city walls are less than a mile long, but the city walls are very high, even higher than the general palace city, more than three zhang high.

As for why it was built so high, of course, it was to prevent the Japanese from borrowing a big ship to seize the city wall, you must know that the height of the general sea ship plus the height of the cabin on the deck is about one zhang, and the cabin of the Daifuku ship is more than two zhang above the water, if the city wall is built too low, people will jump directly from the cabin, so the city wall of Denglai Water City is very high, and the fortune ship must be a lot shorter in front of it.

Another feature of this Denglai Water City is that there is a harbor in the city, and the entrance has been blocked by a large wooden gate similar to the city gate.

In other words, the fleet can enter the city directly through the sluices, and boarding the dock is considered to be in the city.

At this time, the commander of Dengzhou Wei was already waiting on the dock with all the officials of the guard, because this time it was not only Yang Cong and his seven disciples who came, but also Guo Jiang, the grandson of Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding.

This Shandong Metropolitan Division and Liaodong Xingdu Division happen to be under the jurisdiction of the Left Army Governor's Office, and Wuding Marquis Guo Xun is the Left Governor of the Left Army Governor's Office, and Dengzhou Wei is under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Metropolitan Division.

Of course, even if Guo Jiang didn't come, the commander of Dengzhou Wei didn't dare to slack off, because Yang Cong, who came this time, was the governor of the five provinces at the beginning, and his power was much greater than that of Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding.

At this time, although Yang Cong has already "paid tribute", but the influence of others is still there, in a casual word, it is still very simple to clean up his little military attaché.

In short, Yang Cong and his entourage were greeted and warmly entertained by all the officials of Dengzhou Wei, that guy, the commander of Dengzhou Wei called him humble, and he almost called grandpa in front of them.

As for Qi Jiguang, he seemed to have become the boss of Dengzhou Wei, and the commanders nodded in front of him.

There's no way, the Qi family is a cow, originally the Qi family is one of the few big families in Dengzhou, and it is even more terrible at this time, not only Qi Jingtong is the governor of the navy, in charge of all the warships along the entire coast, Qi Jiguang has also become Yang Cong's closed disciple, this guy, the future is simply limitless!

The group rested for a day in the Dengzhou Acropolis, and early the next morning, Yang Cong politely declined the old man of the Qi family to take the rest of the disciples and Guo Jiang to get on the warship together, and continued to the south, going straight to Jinling City.

Along the way, Yang Cong introduced the knowledge of naval warfare to the disciples, and ordered the fleet to take the opportunity of supplies to enter the coastal David stations to inspect them, and Zhang Juzheng and others' impression of the Ming army suddenly changed dramatically.

For a long time, although the scholars have said that the Ming Dynasty is invincible, they are skeptical about the combat power of the Ming army, because since the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been bullied almost everywhere, and even the little Dongying and Annan do not take the Ming Dynasty in their eyes, what prestige does the Ming army have?

Even if Yang Cong brought the Ming army to exterminate the pirates and pirates and the Japanese pirates, and subdued the Annan Mo clan, they probably thought that this was Yang Cong's magic, not that the Ming army suddenly became different.

However, after they saw the rigor of these guards along the coast, they finally realized that the current Ming army seemed to be very different from the previous Ming army.

After bidding farewell to the coast and entering the river, Yang Cong called Tan Lun, who was very likely to become the commander, to him, and asked cordially: "Zili, how is it, how do you feel after seeing so many guards?" ”

When Tan Lun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The students originally thought that these guards either lacked discipline and had no energy, or they didn't have three meals, and they were hungry and yellow-skinned, but they never thought that they were so well-trained and so mighty. ”

Yang Cong smiled and said: "Well, before the division came to the southeast to be the governor, they were indeed similar to what you said, do you know, how did they become like this in a short period of time?" ”

When Tan Lun heard this, he couldn't help but be full of admiration: "The teacher is really a god, and he can train them like this in just two or three years." ”

Yang Cong was slapped by this sycophant, and he wanted to roll his eyes, what is this?

He said angrily: "So many places, so many guards, how to practice one by one for the teacher, if the teacher can really run through so many places in just two or three years, and can also practice so many guards, it is really a fairy." Obviously, teachers are not immortals, and teachers don't have so much time to train them. ”

When Tan Lun heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Then what's going on, why did they suddenly become so powerful?" ”

Yang Cong looked into the distance and said wisely: "It's very simple, rely on the system, or military regulations." Although the commander has to lead by example, he does not have to do everything himself, and many things, you just need to set the rules and then send the generals to supervise it. For example, these coastal guards have set the rules for the division, and then each province will send a general soldier to inspect from time to time. ”
