After the decree was issued, the imperial court immediately mobilized, the household department was responsible for mobilizing money and food, and the military department and the governor's office of the five armies were responsible for recruiting and transferring sergeants.

On the same day, on the pretext of raising money and grain, Zhu Yunwen set up a city department in Songjiang (Shanghai), Guangzhou, Guangdong, Quanzhou, Fujian, Ningbo, Zhejiang, Jinzhou, Dalian, and Dengzhou, Shandong. In addition, there are a number of patrol inspections, which are responsible for investigating smuggling and preventing Japanese attacks. Finally, a naval division patrol was added near the city's Boshi Division.

For the safety of maritime trade, Zhu Yunwen improved the treatment of sailors, and ordered sailors to go out to sea to patrol to fight against the Japanese and reward them for their exploits. In order to facilitate responsibility, six major naval divisions were set up in the country, namely the Liaodong Naval Division (stationed in Dalian), the Shandong Naval Division (stationed in Dengzhou), the Yangtze River Naval Division (stationed in Beijing), the Fujian Naval Division (stationed in Fuzhou), the Zhejiang Naval Division (stationed in Dinghai), and the Guangdong Naval Division (stationed in Huangpu).

The preparation of the city is in charge of Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, and it will be completed before the end of the year, and the second year of Jianwen will be officially launched. The matter of the water division is to be divided and deployed by the governor Zhu Xin and Xuanxin, and the minimum purpose is to ensure the safety of the newly established city division, of course, to ensure the safety of the Beijing division, which will be completed within half a year, and will be severely punished if it is overdue.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen ordered to send a permanent envoy to the Ryukyus, sending 20 naval warships and 2,000 soldiers to protect the envoys, and the first envoy was Wu Zhong, the former Marquis of Jinghai. Wu Zhong's father was one of the twenty-four generals of the founding of the country, Wu Zhen was proficient in naval warfare, once supervised the shipping, led the army to the Ryukyus, exterminated the Japanese invaders, died of illness in the twelfth year of Hongwu, and was posthumously awarded the title of Haiguo Gong. At that time, Wu Zhong attacked the Marquis of Jinghai, but unfortunately in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Wu Zhen was considered to be the Hu Party, and Wu Zhong was also removed from office.

At that time, Wu Zhong was appointed as the right guard of the water division, and he was not used after his dismissal. At the beginning of the year, when Zhu Yunwen ordered the selection of the descendants of the founding heroes, Wu Zhong was appointed as the sailor Zuowei Qianhu. When considering the Ryukyu envoys, Qi Tai recommended Wu Zhong.

Zhu Yunwen summoned Wu Zhong in the Qianqing Palace, and after investigation, he found that Wu Zhong was forty years old this year, although he was older, but he knew the sea conditions very well, and what satisfied Zhu Yunwen the most was that Wu Zhong knew the sea conditions around the Ryukyus. Zhu Yunwen brought pen and paper and introduced to him his strategic concept, to control the Ryukyus, to contain the Japanese invaders from moving south, and when the time is right, to control the Japanese archipelago and completely exterminate the Japanese invaders.

Wu Zhong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the sea charts of the eastern Ming Dynasty painted by Zhu Yunwen, from the Japanese Kingdom, Korea to Southeast Asia, and thought to himself: Could it be that I have been idle for too long? How far has Daming's nautical chart survey progressed? I don't know much of what the emperor said, but since the emperor likes sailors, then there is a place for me.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen asked Wu Zhong if he was willing to be an envoy to Ryukyu, but Wu Zhong was a little hesitant, because his mother's health was not good, and it would take half a year to go back and forth from Ryukyu, and he was a little worried about his mother's health. Zhu Yunwen did not force him and let him decide for himself. However, Zhu Yunwen promised his son that he could enter the national prison or martial arts, and sent the imperial doctor to treat his mother's body. In the end, Zhu Yunwen hinted to him that if he made great contributions in the future, he could be re-named the Marquis of Jinghai, which seemed to shock Wu Zhong, but he still had to go home and discuss it with his mother.

The next day, after being scolded by his mother, Wu Zhong was appointed as an envoy to the Ryukyus, and Zhu Yunwen allowed him to choose suitable men, ships, and weapons, all in order to contain the Japanese invaders. Wu Zhong took the order and left.

In order to increase income, Zhu Yunwen reopened the market; For the safety of the city's shipping division, Zhu Yunwen reorganized the sailors; In order to fight against the Japanese invaders, Zhu Yunwen sent people to garrison the Ryukyus. These caused some opposition in the imperial court, but Zhu Yunwen ignored them.

In order to promote private trade, Zhu Yunwen issued an order to allow private shipbuilding, but the specifications were restricted; At the same time, the restriction of four-wheeled carriages was opened, and there was no limit on the number of wagons and horses, and the common people could ride up to four-horse carts; He also ordered the state and county of the country to build cement roads, and called on wealthy businessmen to donate, and they could engrave monuments on the roadside to leave their names; It also opened up restrictions on private mining, ironmaking, steelmaking, and so on.

After the establishment of the city, due to the large scale of the transaction, involving a large number of silver taels, and carrying a large number of silver taels is not convenient or safe, so the Bank of Communications has achieved great development, merchants often set off, in the local Bank of Communications to deposit silver, carry the silver ticket to the destination, and take out the silver for trading after arrival; Over time, the city gradually became accustomed to trading with silver tickets, and the use of silver tickets spread to various places with the prosperity of the city shipping company. Later these small banks found that they did not need to issue their own silver bills, and they could be a middleman to make the difference, and the method was to receive the silver, pay the customer the bank of Communications, and then deposit the silver into the Bank of Communications in exchange for the silver bills. Since then, the use of Bank of Communications' bank bills has become more and more extensive.

After promulgating these decrees, Zhu Yunwen could only wait for these measures to slowly sprout, and he had slowly become accustomed to the way that it took months or even years for a response to a thing, and the information society of later generations gradually faded away from his mind.

On this day, Zhu Yunwen summoned Wang Du, handed over a notebook, and said: "Zizhong, the acting king is about to enter Beijing, what should I do?" ”

Wang Du took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing, the acting king is the first vassal king to take the initiative to ask for internal relocation, and it has an exemplary role, the emperor must deal with it carefully, so that it is also convenient to appease other vassal kings." ”

Zhu Yunwen leaned back in the chair, rubbed his forehead, thought for a while, and said: "But I always feel that something is wrong, how could the acting king suddenly ask to move inward, and he also entered Beijing in the name of fear of Yan Rei, and now it is impossible for Yan Rei to attack Shanxi, so what is he afraid of?" ”

"And this, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, is also in favor of moving inward on behalf of the king, what are they doing, is it Xu Huizu who threatens them?"

Wang Du lowered his head and thought about it, and when he looked up again, he stopped talking a little and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter can be done according to the will of Wei Guogong." ”

"You mean ......" Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized, and said after a long time: "I understand, I understand, even Xu Huizu has played scheming with me." ”

"Your Majesty, when the water is clear, there is no fish, and if people are observed, there are no disciples, and now Yan rebels, and the fate can be imagined, the princess is the eldest sister of Wei Guogong, and the contradiction in his heart is human nature, and he cannot be forced; And the acting princess is the second sister of the Duke of Wei, although the acting king has objections, it has not caused any harm, and the relocation fief is enough. ”

"Moreover, the emperor respects Tang Law, Tang Law will execute the first offender for those who do not harm the rebellion, and the wife and concubine, father and son will be exiled for 3,000 miles, and the acting king will be a clan relative, and the crime will be reduced by one degree, and it will be resealed, which can also reflect the emperor's benevolence."

"In the end, if the acting king is disposed of, the Duke of Wei will also be uncomfortable, I am afraid that something will happen, and the gains will outweigh the losses. The minister thought that the Duke of Wei was extremely rich, and he could only reward him with wealth, and it was not impossible to extrajudicial grace on behalf of the king. ”

Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he actually had murderous intentions towards the acting king and Xu Huizu, this is not a good phenomenon, is it because he has been the emperor for a long time? Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "Zizhong, what you said is very right, I know how to do it." ”

The guards sent by the acting king did not catch up with Wang Botao and Han Fengping, and soon after the two of them left Datong, they left the team and went to Huailai to join Chen Xuan. And Chen Xuan knew that after Xu Huizu entered Datong, he also strengthened his determination to capture Badaling, so with the cooperation of the Daning rebels, he captured Badaling Pass overnight and dealt a fatal blow to Feng Sheng.

The acting king and his wife were very frightened, and finally, at the suggestion of Xu Huizu, decided to leave Datong and return to Beijing to show their innocence, but they were sincerely afraid along the way, and they didn't know how the emperor would treat them......

Wang Du returned home, went directly into the study, and after retreating from the people, he took out an envelope from the bottom of the shelf, and there was no mark or text on the envelope, Wang Du took out the letter and looked at it, smiled bitterly, put the letter into the envelope, and threw it into the brazier. Watching the envelope turn to ashes in the brazier and the smoke curling up to the roof, Wang Du stood up and arched his hand in the direction of the palace, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister is not disloyal, but this matter is the best plan!" "The sound grew lower and lower, and it became inaudible......
