Chapter 121: Where (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Where is the holy car welcomed?

When the decision was made for the first time to welcome back the holy car, Zhu Mingzhong made the decision from the perspective of a loyal minister, and of course it was also due to interests. And now he is making every effort to prepare for this matter, but he is basically completely driven by interests, after all, for Zhu Mingzhong, the benefits brought by leaving Zheng and becoming self-reliant are almost unlimited.

And now, when he asks, "Where is the holy car?" At the time of this sentence, he was standing on another position, and even he didn't notice that at this time, his position inadvertently changed, not just standing in Mingchen's position, but standing in a higher position to consider the matter.

In other words, inadvertently, Qian Lei successfully pulled the lord to what he thought was "on the right track" - everything is in the interests of the lord!

"Jingluo, since Nanjing and Qinghe are not suitable for driving, why not choose another place?"

Somewhere else?

Looking at Qian Lei puzzled, Zhu Mingzhong motioned for him to continue.

"Didn't Jinglu intend to expand to Taiwan before, although this Taiwan is located on the other side of Fujian Province, but it is not under the leadership of the Zheng family, nor is it led by Jingluo, if Jinglu is in the expansion of Taiwan, the palace is built here, so it is not just right to be able to drive?"

Place the imperial court in Taiwan!

Qian Lei's suggestion was completely unexpected by Zhu Mingzhong, and it can even be said that such a placement can even be said to be beyond the vision of the times.

"After a strategy, at present, the Qing Dynasty has repeatedly transferred heavy troops to the south, intending to recapture the heavy tax land in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is inappropriate to place the imperial court in Nanjing and Qinghe, or Taiwan and the mainland are separated by a large ocean, and the Qing Dynasty has no water division, so naturally it cannot enter Taiwan, and the sea can be a natural screen for the imperial court, which can save the court from the suffering of exile from now on, and as for contacting the mainland ministers, they can send people to send holy envoys by sea ships......"

Almost every word, Qian Lei will only say it after careful consideration, after all, there is some "unsubservient heart" in these words, knowing that the lord is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, he will naturally not let the lord be aware of his thoughts at this critical time to lead the lord back to the "right path". That's why he seemed very cautious, but even if he was so cautious, Zhu Mingzhong still heard the meaning of his words.

"Sent by a ship to ...... holy envoy"

There is no need for Qian Lei to explain further, Zhu Mingzhong can also guess the meaning of his words, this Taiwan is colonized by himself, and the city will be built by the loyal and righteous army at that time, and the port will be the same, so does it mean that the imperial court is under its own control, and there are no sea ships, even if Yongli wants to give the edict to whom?

Is it Zheng Chenggong?

Or Zhang Huangyan?

If Yongli and the imperial court are welcomed to Taiwan, when the time comes, not only will they be able to meet the merits, so that they can go out of the house and stand on their own, but they will even be able to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate".

As far as Yanping is concerned, the imperial court and Taiwan, so that they will not interfere in the politics of Yanping, and Jingluo can also go out of the palace to stand on his own, and there is no need to worry about the constraints of the imperial court, but if it is to welcome Nanjing or Qinghe, it is to go out of the palace and stand on its own, but it also adds the constraints of the imperial court. Wouldn't that make you sleepy? Lost all the original intention? ”

Although he is only thirty-six years old, but for Qian Lei, who has been a master for 14 years, he is an extremely smart person. Naturally, he knows how to safeguard the interests of the lord and maximize the interests of the lord.

Perhaps, for the people in the Economic Strategy Envoy's Office, all they considered was "leaving the house and standing on their own", but what Qian Lei was thinking about was how to make the strategy like Zheng Chenggong to obtain the "power of a small court", which was the original intention of "leaving the house and standing on his own".

"Bingqi ......"

Looking at Qian Lei, Zhu Mingzhong smiled slightly, and did not object or agree with his words, but just nodded and said.

"Well, this dispatch of the navy to welcome back the holy car by sea needs to send no less than dozens of large and small sea ships, there are vacancies on the ships when they go, and Taiwan is a must pass through, when the time comes, it is natural to send the servant to Taiwan, in Taiwan to colonize and reclaim the wasteland, build a city and build houses, and Taiwan is rich in sulfur, at present, our loyal army is willing to use firearms, the cost of sulfur is quite high, and Taiwan can open mines to solve the sulfur needs......"

Zhu Mingzhong's words did not mention the slightest word of "welcoming the car to Taiwan", but only turned the colonization of Taiwan into a "trivial matter" that was taken by the way, but he was as smart as Qian Lei, and he didn't hear what he meant, but just nodded in agreement again and again.

"What Jinglu said is extremely true, so that it can not only colonize Taiwan, but also meet the major events without mistake, and the two can be paralleled at the same time, so as not to miss the Northern Expedition plan......"

Saying this, Qian Lei's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least through these words today, he has found out the meaning of Jinglu, he is not against being a "lord", nor is he against "coercing the Son of Heaven to order not to obey", which means that Jinglu may go further in the future.

After all, Taiwan's grain can be used for the army, and Taiwan's sulfur can be used for the army, so the strategy might as well appoint a capable official to take charge of Taiwan, and only in this way can Taiwan be protected from losing its ......."

Name!

The lord did not mention the matter of "welcoming the driver" again, and Qian Lei naturally did not mention it, but it did not prevent him from arranging this matter in the name of "colonizing Taiwan".

"And this capable official must be loyal to the scriptures, otherwise he will be biased overseas, and he will only change after a long time......"

Qian Lei's reminder made Zhu Mingzhong nod thoughtfully, he knew very well why Qian Lei said this, because when the time comes, the imperial court will be by his side, if that person is blindly loyal to Yu Daming, wouldn't it be against the original intention of welcoming him to Taiwan?

Who is more suitable to go to Taiwan?

For a while, Zhu Mingzhong had no answer in his heart, he was silent for a moment, and then said to Qian Lei.

"Bingqi, this matter will be handed over to you to handle, this person must be cautious in the matter of selection, after all, Taiwan is a very important matter, and one of them must be a capable official! Do you understand? ”

The words don't need to be said clearly, as the proposer of the suggestion, Qian Lei certainly understands the meaning of Jing Liu's mouth, and even before that, he has already set a few candidates in his heart, but in order to avoid making Jing Luo feel that he is scheming, he did not say a few candidates in his mind for the first time, and after talking about this matter, he reported some other things, and when he was about to leave, Qian Lei tried to ask again.

"Jingluo, the lower officials heard that Zheng Wangye has recovered Hangzhou, I don't know if Jingluo has sent someone to congratulate him?"
