[260] The target is the ocean

Song Youliang is not a legal expert, so Song Youliang himself thinks that the "Daming Law Domain" is not perfect, and can only be left to future generations to supplement and improve.

The identity of the vassal state of the Ming Empire in the first paragraph of the "Ming Law Vassal" is determined according to the express treaty signed between the Ming Empire and the vassal state.

The second paragraph of the law enacted by the vassal state shall not contradict the "Great Ming Law" of the Ming Empire.

The king, chieftain and other heads of state of the vassal countries in the third paragraph must petition the emperor of the Ming Empire and obtain a written certificate from the Ming Empire to be legal, otherwise it is illegal. His subjects could overthrow him, and such an act would be supported by the armed forces of the Ming Empire, and the vassal states in paragraph 4 imposed the same tariffs on other countries and the Ming Empire. Tariffs were not levied between the Ming Empire and vassal states, or between vassal states.

Paragraph 5: Between the Ming Empire and the vassal states, or between the vassal states, the migration or entry and exit of the vassal states shall not be prohibited by the vassal states.

Subjects of vassal states who have settled in the Ming Empire for 10 years, subjects of the Ming Empire who have settled in vassal countries for 5 years, and people who have migrated and settled in vassal states for 5 years shall be regarded as subjects born in the country and have never left the country, and enjoy all the benefits and rights of the subjects of the country.

Section 6: The Ming Empire guaranteed that the vassal states would not be invaded; and at the request of the lord of the country, he put down the civil strife. If the Ming Empire felt it necessary to exercise its suzerainty, it could also intervene without a request from the vassal state.

When the Ming Empire attacked other countries, the vassal states had to provide convenience for the Ming Empire in various forms. For example, the army crosses the border, provides baggage, personnel, money, and even directly sends troops to help in the war.

If it is to send troops to help the war, without the permission of the Ming Empire, it is not allowed to negotiate peace with the enemy country alone.

Paragraph 7: No vassal state may conclude any treaty of the nature of a military alliance with a country other than the Ming Empire (including other vassal states).

No vassal state shall not mint and issue the currency of the Ming Empire without the permission of the Ming Empire, and no vassal state shall expand the number of troops in non-war periods without the consent of the Ming Empire, except in the event of an actual invasion or imminent danger that cannot be delayed.

Any contradiction between vassal states must be submitted to the Ming Empire for arbitration, and no war is allowed at will.

Article 8 The ruler of all vassal states is not allowed to be called emperor or use the name of the era. At most, the lord of the country is called the king, and the name of the Ming Emperor must be used.

In order to prevent future generations from recklessly using military force, Song Youliang also added some provisions to the "Da Ming Law", such as the reasons for declaring war are: the invasion of the territory and sea of the Ming Dynasty; encroachment on the subject state of the Ming Dynasty; aggression against the Ming allies; encroachment on the envoys of the Great Ming; the innocent deprivation of the lives and property of the people of the Ming Dynasty; violated the treaty signed with the Ming Dynasty; support the enemy countries of the Ming Dynasty in the war; There are also legal rules for inciting riots, rebellions, etc., against the Ming Dynasty to end the war: the two sides conclude a peace treaty to end the war; The enemy surrendered to end the war. In this case, the life and property of the enemy can be partially preserved; Conquer enemy countries and end wars. In this case, the life and property of the enemy can be freely disposed of.

After a few rough drafts of the law, it was past noon, and the servant came to report it, saying, "Sir, lunch is ready." The two ladies said to eat in the backyard and let the little one invite the master! ”

"I'm coming!" Song Youliang closed the book in front of him, put down the brush and got up and went to the back hall. In the last month, Zhu Huanting gave birth to a healthy and white son for Song Youliang, Song Youliang gave them a ru Song Shouli At this time in the backyard, a group of female relatives were crowded in Zhu Huanting's room, taking turns to look at Song Youliang's baby son Song Shouli. There is a cradle next to the bed, and the two maidservants of Haruka and Xia He are gently shaking it next to the cradle. Song Shouli, who was whirring with meat, was lying on the rocking blue, with wide eyes and looking at everyone curiously. Zhu Huanting was still a little weak soon after giving birth, so she just rested on the side of the bed, but looking at her son, she had a satisfied smile on her face.

"Ah, old man, look at this child, this eyebrows and eyes, isn't it very similar to Liang'er!" Song Xia looked at his grandson and said to Song Qianjin happily.

Song Qianjin just looked at his little grandson with loving eyes and smirked innocently, Song Qianjin was very satisfied with the current state of life. The Song family can be like this, and the son has offspring, and the old man has nothing else to ask for.

"I feel like a mother." Aunt Xia smiled: "Yes, yes?" Immediately, many aunts and uncles in the room expressed their opinions on the appearance of the Song family's grandchildren, and started a heated discussion.

Song Xia hurriedly said: "The child is going to feed, let's go out." So everyone went out in amusement. Song Youliang and Zhu Huanting were left in the house, and there were two maids who were responsible for taking care of Zhu Huanting, "Good ~ good son, don't cry, my mother will feed you!" ”

Zhu Huanting unbuttoned her clothes, revealing shuangfeng who was bulging because of her milk, she subconsciously glanced at Song Youliang, and saw that Song Youliang was staring at her shuangfeng, so she turned to Song Youliang, picked up her son and said: "A dead ghost, a cheap son is not cheap to you!" ”

Song Youliang shouted that he was wronged, and the two maidservants who were waiting for him also covered their mouths and chuckled.

Then Zhu Huanting was breastfeeding, and Song Youliang was watching. Looking at his wife and son, he also sighed in his heart that he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention becoming a family, I also have children, and I am more deeply integrated into the Ming Dynasty. And looking at his son and nursing wife, he also had a warm feeling in his heart, feeling that he was really a Ming Dynasty person.

After lunch, Zheng Zhilong came, "It's a shame to ask Brother Zheng to come all the way from Fujian!" Song Youliang said politely, and Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Grandpa has an order, I, Zheng, will fly over even at the ends of the earth!" ”

"I just like Brother Zheng's heroic spirit!" Song Youliang said: "Your Majesty is very happy with the prisoner you presented this time, so I informed you in advance that Brother Zheng has been promoted this time." ”

Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed and thanked him: "It's all up to my grandfather!" ”

"Don't say that, if Brother Zheng doesn't have real skills, then it's useless for me to carry it!" Song Youliang asked with a smile: "I heard that Brother Zheng used to be an errand boy under the Dutch?" ”

"This~" Zheng Zhilong was a little embarrassed to ask this question, and Song Youliang hurriedly explained: "Brother Zheng, don't get me wrong, I don't ask this to turn over old accounts, but there is a heavy task to be handed over to Brother Zheng, I look at Daming, and only Brother Zheng can take on this great responsibility!" ”

Zheng Zhilong felt that this sounded very pleasant, and asked with a smile: "What is the important task?" "When Brother Zheng was working under the Dutch, did he hear that the Dutch had a chamber of commerce called the East India Company?" Song Youliang asked, Zheng Zhilong thought about it, and said: "There is indeed such a chamber of commerce, but if it is not called by this name, Weichen can't say it!" Song Youliang said with a smile: "Now that Nanyang has almost fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, I plan to establish a chamber of commerce similar to the Dutch East India Company, called the Nanyang Chinese Entrepreneurs Association." Zheng Zhilong asked: "This Chamber of Commerce~"

Song Youliang replied: "The purpose of this chamber of commerce is to monopolize the trade of Japan, Korea, and Nanyang for the Ming Dynasty, and will even monopolize the trade of more and more regions in the future!" When it comes to overseas trading, is there anyone in the Ming Dynasty who is more competent than Brother Zheng? ”

"That's nature!" Zheng Zhilong said proudly: "Speaking of buying and selling at sea, I, Zheng someone, consider myself second, and no one in the Ming Dynasty can consider myself first!" ”

"However, there is something to discuss with Brother Zheng~" Song Youliang said with a straight face, "What's the matter?" Zheng Zhilong asked in surprise, "It's that after Brother Zheng becomes the president of this chamber of commerce, he can no longer serve as an official in the imperial court!" ”

"That's it~" Zheng Zhilong hesitated, Song Youliang smiled and said: "However, as compensation, Brother Zheng will be canonized as the king of Yanping County, hereditary replacement!" ”

"Crowned king?" Zheng Zhilong never thought that he would be crowned king one day, "Yes, king!" Song Youliang said: "And this Nanyang Chinese Entrepreneurs Association will be awarded the training of soldiers, war, peace and so on, in addition to paying money to the Ming court every year, and obeying the orders of the court, there is no doubt about the independent kingdom!" I know that Brother Zheng prefers a free and easy maritime life, that's why I think of you, Brother Zheng! ”

"Grandpa, can you allow Weichen to think about it?" Zheng Zhilong asked Song Youliang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's too late, our army is about to go to Japan, I know that Brother Zheng is familiar with Japan, so if you want to continue to stay in the imperial court, then you have to take the lead in attacking Japan." If Brother Zheng is willing to accept the title of King of Yanping County and the position of President of the General Chamber of Commerce, then it is time to start preparing for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

After some hesitation, Zheng Zhilong finally decided to take the position of president of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, firstly, the temptation of being the king was too great for Zheng Zhilong, and according to Song Youliang, his appointment as the president was basically equivalent to being a free and easy sea merchant back then. That kind of free and easy, eating meat in large pieces, and drinking in large bowls, Zheng Zhilong still yearns for it.

"Grandpa and His Majesty look up to me Zheng so much, I Zheng Zhilong don't know what to do if I refuse." Zheng Zhilong said: "I am willing to accept the position of president of the Nanyang Chinese Entrepreneurs Association!" ”

"Great~~ I will also issue privateer permits to the shipowners in the Chamber of Commerce!" Song Youliang said happily: "What is a privateer warrant? Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment, "To put it simply, the owner of the ship who has taken this license can rob the ships of the enemy country at will!" Song Youliang said: "For example, if my country is now at war with the Netherlands and Franco, the owner of the ship with this license can rob the ships of these countries without being regarded as a pirate by the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed and said: "I can't imagine that I, Zheng Zhilong, have been a pirate for half my life, and this is the first time I have met the imperial court to encourage us to kill people and sell goods!" ”

"But we have something to say first~" Song Youliang said with a smile: "First, we are not allowed to rob the ships of the allies and subjects of the Ming Dynasty, of course, we can't rob the ships of the Ming Dynasty's own ships." Second, what you have grabbed! ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded and smiled: "This Weichen understands that he must let those ship owners take out half of it to honor his grandfather!" ”

Song Youliang laughed and said: "You don't need half of it, it's okay to be thirty percent, and it's not to honor me, it's to honor the Ming treasury!" ”
