Chapter 378: I'm going to lift the table!
Zheng Zhilong's voyage to Xinming Island this time was also very smooth, just like when he returned to Daming, there was no wind and no waves.
This made Zheng Zhilong begin to doubt his life - did God deliberately play such a dragon to absorb water, the purpose was to let his gang discover Xinming Island?
And Zheng Zhilong hurried all the way to Xinming Island, Tang King Zhu Yujian, Qing King Zhu Zhuohong and Qin King Zhu Cunji, the three of them were like teasing, and they rushed to the boat and asked him if he had anything like porcelain cloth and silk.
Zheng Zhilong was a little dazed, there are these things, but there are not many. What are these things doing on the sea belt?
Now that you three vassal kings have come to this big island to expand their territory, don't you come to enjoy the good life of the vassal king, right? ?
Zheng Zhilong, who was a little confused by the three teasers, simply asked Zhu Yujian: "I don't know what His Highness wants porcelain and cloth for?" If necessary, the lowly can bring a boat with him next time. ”
Zhu Yujian couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this. Without them, some of your plans will be hindered.
But fortunately, Zhu Yujian also knew that Zheng Zhilong couldn't be blamed for this, so he had to admonish: "Don't use a boat, Admiral Zheng must remember to go to sea in the future, and put some porcelain and cloth on each ship, preferably from different eras." ”
Zhu Yujian was scared of the dragon's water absorption.
With the unparalleled size of the Daming Fu ship and the invincible combat power of the high place, it did not resist the dragon absorbing the water, but was completely photographed into the water, and disappeared with hundreds of soldiers and sailors, and even the bones were not recovered.
If you encounter a dragon sucking water again, and the unlucky one happens to be a ship carrying cloth and porcelain, then you must not cry to death?
These cloths and porcelain are of great use.
The three teasing princes did not get off the ship, and after arranging for the people to unload the goods, Zhu Yujian pulled Zheng Zhilong to the cabin of the flagship.
After sitting separately, Zheng Zhilong asked curiously, "I don't know what the use of cloth and porcelain is for His Highness?" ”
Zhu Yujian said with a smile: "This king suddenly thought of something. If every time we go, we bury some porcelain cloth or something, then we can say that this place has been ours since ancient times. ”
After thinking about it, Zhu Yujian continued: "For example, Ryukyu, for example, Japan. Especially in Japan, if you get some things from the pre-Qin period and bury them, it is said that Xu Fu went to sea to look for immortals but ran to Japan and did not come back.
What kind of emperor of their eternal line is the descendant of Xu Fu's bastard thing, which is a rebellion, and when the time comes, they will be directly eliminated to correct the law of the country. ”
Zheng Zhilong said bitterly: "Your Highness Qiqi, your lowly subordinates are all fighting men, it's no problem for them to fight and kill, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this kind of thing?" ”
Zhu Yujian is now very curious about what Zheng Zhilong's head contains.
Is it that you have been at sea for a long time, so you have also entered the seawater to raise fish in your head?
However, Zhu Yujian still replied: "It's okay, you can tell Your Majesty when you go back, and let Your Majesty arrange for Jinyiwei's people to do this, and it won't take much effort anyway." ”
After Zheng Zhilong responded, Zhu Yujian said straight to the point: "In addition, Admiral Zheng has to work harder, and he will hurry back to Daming after a day off, and strive to send his brothers over earlier." ”
Zheng Zhilong thought that Zhu Yujian was in a hurry to demarcate land on the island to build a city, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the minister heard that the lonely yin does not last long, and the lone yang does not give birth, if there is no woman on the island, I am afraid of ......."
Zhu Yujian waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'll talk about the woman's affairs later, the families of the soldiers are not in a hurry to take it over, and for the time being, the soldiers and ordnance and firearms are still the mainstay." ”
If Zheng Zhilong thought that Zhu Yujian was in a hurry to draw the territory just now, now he has a little pressure in his heart, and immediately asked: "But the barbarians on the island appeared?" ”
Zhu Yujian nodded, and continued: "Yes, that's right. ”
Zheng Zhilong got up and said, "Otherwise, the humble post will stay with His Highness to clear the barbarians on this island first?" ”
Zhu Yujian said with a smile: "Sit, Admiral Zheng sat down first." ”
After Zheng Zhilong sat down, Zhu Yujian continued: "There are not only indigenous barbarians on this island, but also the shadow of red-haired ghosts.
However, the red-haired ghost has been cleaned up, and now there are only my Ming soldiers left, as well as the local barbarians. ”
The red-haired ghost, Zheng Zhilong has definitely not been in contact with it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a grudge.
Of course, it's basically the kind of revenge that Zheng Zhilong disposed of with the red-haired ghost.
However, this can also explain why Zhu Yujian asked him to send more Ming soldiers over as soon as possible - His Royal Highness King Tang was cool for a while, and he cooked all the red-haired ghosts, which was to prevent the red-haired ghosts from coming back in the future.
After all, as long as there is a wave of red-haired ghosts on the island, there may be a second wave or a third wave in the future.
We had to take precautions early.
After Zheng Zhilong responded, he continued to ask, "Your Highness, a local barbarian?" ”
Zhu Yujian said: "The barbarians are easy to do. It looks like the people of my Ming Dynasty are actually about the same, it's just that it's darker, shorter, thinner, and the nose is a little lower. ”
Hemp sells batches, let you say this, do these barbarians still look like people? It's about the same as my Ming people?
Zheng Zhilong, who complained infinitely in his heart, said curiously: "Is Your Highness preparing to turn it into summer?" ”
Zhu Yujian nodded, feeling a little relieved in his heart.
Look, the admiral of the Ming Dynasty still has some ability, not like Zhu Zhuohong's bastard, and he hardly has a brain.
Zhu Yujian said: "After Admiral Zheng returns, he will send someone to send the king's seal to the Beijing division and present it to His Majesty. ”
Zheng Zhilong responded, and did what he had to do - just rested for one night, replenished some food and fresh water, and then returned to Daming.
Zhu Yujian and the others, who stayed on the big island, began to build the city after eating their first decent meal in a few months.
There is no cement, it is easy to do, make stones to build the city directly, anyway, there are local people to help, and you don't feel sorry for the cost of getting Sanhe soil or something.
The only fucking thing is that the glutinous rice juice is always insufficient, if it weren't for the glutinous rice brought by Zheng Zhilong, it is estimated that there would be no way to get out the Sanhe soil.
After receiving the joint recital of Zhu Yujian, Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunji, Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly found that the Ming Dynasty was not full of pigs.
There are always a few that are pretty good - probably evolved into wild boars?
For example, Zhu Yujian, how did he come up with this kind of damage trick of burying things in the soil?
Now in the age when you want to identify something, in addition to the naked eye, the rest is basically based on experience - or the naked eye.
After all, there are no detection methods such as carbon 14 in this era, and reliable identification masters are basically only available in the Ming Dynasty.
The rest of the barbarians don't even have a history, so what kind of eggs are they talking about cultural relics?
As for the reliable masters, there are not many even the Ming Dynasty, and most of them serve the royal family in the palace.
What cultural relics does Emperor Chongzhen want to fake, or directly say what age a certain cultural relics are, and who dares not admit it?
Of course, there is little point in playing this set in Daming, anyway, no matter how the dynasty changes, the people who have lived there since ancient times have only been passed down from generation to generation, and there is no need for Emperor Chongzhen to do anything since ancient times.
But this has been useful overseas since ancient times.
At least Emperor Chongzhen can at least come up with a variety of uses.
For example, bury some in England or France, and say that the kings of these countries were canonized by the emperor of the Central Plains - anyway, Zheng He has been there, and it has been almost three hundred years, and those barbarians still remember a fart?
Isn't it shameless, Emperor Chongzhen has already thrown his face far away, and his conscience has been fed to the dogs.
And the other two requirements put forward by Zhu Yujian made Emperor Chongzhen even more happy.
First of all, this guy wants a lot of books, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, such as the Three Character Classics, and the Disciple Gui - to educate those barbarians on Xinming Island.
This involves the second request put forward by Zhu Yujian.
Let Zhang Tianshi and the great monk Kuanhai on the other side of Shaolin Temple, and add some stories about Xinming Island to the mythological stories they are compiling.
For example, they are all descendants of Yin Shang, and how Xinming Island drifted from the Ming Dynasty to its current location.
Anyway, it is to make those Australian aborigines who are not much different from the people of the Ming Dynasty into people of the same race who have the same roots but have lost their roots.
Slow assimilation is.
Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was nothing wrong with this, after a hundred years, under the incomparably powerful assimilation ability of Confucian culture, if these barbarians did not think that their ancestors were the two emperors of Yan and Huang, it would be a hell.
With a wave of his hand, Zhu Yujian's second request for the revision of the mythical story was thrown by Emperor Chongzhen to the people of Short Xiaorong.
Anyway, they are all written by blind chickens, and the reference materials are also countless textbooks from the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen in the later generations of the traverser training base, and there seems to be no big problem in revising and modifying them.
As for the actual compiler, Xiao Xiaorong and Zhang Tianshi, how can the monk on the other side of the sea have a headache, that is their business, Emperor Chongzhen said that he does not care - anyway, it is good food, good drink and good hospitality, even if you want a sister, I will also order someone to get it for you.
Before that, it is still proper to write well in the edict.
Especially Chen Mo and Chen Dayushi have been promoted to the position of editor-in-chief in the edict, and they can communicate more on weekdays.
There is always something to say among literati, isn't it? If you get a masterpiece like "Iron Futon" again, wouldn't you be very happy to see it?
Emperor Chongzhen, who quickly pulled his thoughts back, began to ponder another matter.
Originally, I planned to keep Jiannu as a reason or something, or wait until the country was completely pacified to deal with Jiannu's.
But the plan always can't keep up with the rapid change, and now my plan has to be revised and modified.
How big is Xinming Island, Emperor Chongzhen actually doesn't have a practical concept, he only knows that it is quite large, probably about the same area as the later Celestial Empire?
So here's the problem.
The area of this island is large enough, and there are enough people to feed it, at least one-tenth or even one-quarter of the existing population of the Ming Dynasty can be enough to feed it.
And what is the real reason why Daming did not resist the past Xiaoice River?
Land annexation is one thing, and the other is a series of factors such as low yield per mu, large population, uneven distribution of wealth, and blocked upward channels, which finally cheapened the Jiannu outside the Guan.
Once the Ming Dynasty began to immigrate to Xinming Island in large numbers, the local people would not be enough to avoid a decrease.
When there are fewer people, there will be more vacant land.
In this case, as long as the Xiaoice River does not become a big glacier, no problem is any longer a problem.
In the Ming Dynasty, when the population was the primary productive force, whoever had the largest population under his command had the largest basic plate.
Especially for an emperor.
Not to mention what kind of family planning, now someone runs to Emperor Chongzhen and tells him that he can't afford to give birth to too much, and Emperor Chongzhen will listen to it as a joke - the people can't afford it?
It's okay, the treasury will help you raise it!
There is great strength in the number of people, there are more eugenics, there are rewards for the more births, and there are punishments for the fewer births!
And Emperor Chongzhen didn't plan to play with Jiannu anymore.
One of the most important things now is immigration, and the other is to stabilize the country.
As for Jiannu, Lao Tzu is going to flip the table, you better die as soon as possible!
Emperor Chongzhen, who made up his mind to lift the table, summoned Wen Tiren, Zhang Weixian, Cui Chengxiu and Guo Yunhou into the palace according to the usual practice.
Among these four people, Wen Tiren is a role in charge of coordinating the civilian system, and Zhang Weixian is in charge of the role of the Ming Dynasty's military operations.
Cui Chengxiu is nominally in charge of the military, although the military part he is in charge of now is only a small mess.
Guo Yunhou is in charge of the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to bypass Guo Yunhou and send troops directly, unless Emperor Chongzhen takes out his own internal money, otherwise this involves the requisition of the people and other places that need to spend money, and it will not be able to get around.
After a few people entered the palace, Emperor Chongzhen said straight to the point: "I don't plan to delay the affairs of Liaodong, before the end of the year, I want to completely pacify Liaodong." ”
Zhang Weixian is naturally indispensable.
According to the comparison between the strength of the Ming Dynasty and the strength of Jiannu, in fact, Jiannu could have been killed a long time ago, but I don't know why Emperor Chongzhen has been delaying until now before making up his mind.
Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou were in pain.
Do the math, since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was first the Beijing Division, then the grassland, then Shaanxi, and then the navy.
This pile one by one, which one is not like spending money?
There are no rats in the treasury right now - rats don't want to wander around the treasury with little money.
Guo Yunhou immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury has no money." ”
The simple four words directly choked Emperor Chongzhen half to death.
Hemp sells batches, how can you learn so shamelessly!
You might as well just say that you want my money to pay!
