Ming Guogong made such a fuss in front of everyone, and it would naturally be delivered to Yidu by Xiao Jiasui as soon as possible. But Xiao Jiasui himself didn't think the matter was serious.

"Why should the prince worry? How can such a trivial trick be concealed from His Majesty's discerning eyes? ”

Fang La didn't pay attention to it at all, "The crown of the sky is on his head, and in a few days, grandpa will still be wearing a dragon robe." "It is the posture of the dragon and the tiger, the watch of the sky, and the holy fathers of other sides are also used. The Imperial City Division didn't understand Emperor Lu's calculations, so he designed a play in front of him, and they deserved their efforts in vain.

The man died and died in vain.

And what about in Yidu City?

When the news came, Emperor Lu was really grateful to the Imperial City Division in his heart, and it would be good to have these people to muddy the water. Otherwise, how can he pry into people's corners?

Only when the water is muddy, Li Zhu, Li Yi's uncle and nephew, and Yang Mi can also act more easily in Wang Qing and Zhong Xiangjun.

Of course, he also saw some hidden dangers from this matter. Fang La, Wang Qing, Zhong Xiang and Tian Hu in the northwest, no matter what Emperor Lu thought of it, at least in the eyes of the world, it was the four major feudal towns under the Great Qi court. Moreover, the four countries have long held heavy troops, and the momentum is big, which is not the benefit of the country, and in the eyes of the world, it is a major hidden danger related to the safety of the world.

- Because the military strength of Fang La, Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang was too strong, their strength in Guangnan had far surpassed that of the Qi army.

But the matter of the four feudatories cannot be solved in the short term. Emperor Lu wanted great feudalism, but great feudalism had a premise that even half an inch of China's territory in the previous life could not be divided.

China is very big, but not an inch of land is superfluous.

He still has this insistence.

Therefore, Emperor Lu wanted to destroy Dali and take the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou in later generations. And doing so will inevitably lead to a backlash from the tribes in the southwest, which is more worrying about Emperor Lu than the destruction of Dali.

In line with the principle of making the best use of people and making the best use of things, Emperor Lu was ready to reuse Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang's armies in the process of pacifying and suppressing Dali.

In order to break and completely suppress the backlash of the southwestern tribal forces, it is needless to say that some political measures are necessary, and military means are also indispensable. The soldiers and horses to which the Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers belonged were accustomed to mountain warfare, and they were always expanding, and their number had already exceeded 10,000 people; The positive white flag led by Yang Zaili was even more early to be fully formed, which can be said to be the latecomer, compared to the positive yellow flag that has not yet seen the full strength of the troops. Moreover, it is Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang, who were fooled by Emperor Lu earlier.

Because of the previous promise of Emperor Lu, Dali became a carrot hanging in front of Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang. In order to seize the ruling power of Dali, Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing will also fight hard. Because Dali called the king for 200 years, there was the Nanzhao Kingdom earlier, which can be said to be the king of Jiumu, and compared with other barbarian places, it is more valued by others.

But no one knew that Emperor Lu had no intention of keeping his word and dividing Dali to Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang's rival winners.

The carrot is just a temptation to hang two donkeys, but it is not a ration for them to eat when they fall into their mouths.

Therefore, the matter of the four feudatories is far from the time when the dust has settled. Because Emperor Lu had already made up his mind that he would provoke a conflict between Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing when necessary, which was a larger and more fierce conflict than the conflict that had broken out between the two in South Vietnam, he used this as an excuse to reprimand them and drive them further south.

This is also the biggest role of Li's uncle and nephew and Yang Mi.

The incubation period of the three of them is far from the end, and the power of the feudal town is naturally far from the end. In the eyes of the people, the days when the four kingdoms were a hidden danger for the new dynasty will continue for some time.

Because even Fang La, who was going to go overseas at the earliest, needed a long time to prepare.

Maybe it's next year, maybe it's the year after next, but there may not be one who will send troops to Nanyang this year. That's a massive migration of hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

Therefore, Emperor Lu decided to take Fang Jinzhi to the south of the Yangtze River.

Fang La must have been the first to seal the overseas domain, in order to be an example of a common person, so that Lu Qian's civil and military ministers could see it, and also let Wang Qing, Tian Hu and Zhong Xiang build up their confidence, don't think that Emperor Lu is simply fooling them.

But there is still a time lag in this, before Fang La officially went to Nanyang to 'take up the domain', Emperor Lu's 'great feudal' plan was to be kept secret. In this case, after the Taibailou incident spread to Jiangnan, it has made people's hearts fluctuate elsewhere.

The reason is very simple, Fang La's department has too deep and too many ties with Jiangnan. It's broken, and it can't be clean. Now that Fang La has stabbed Lou Zi again, how can the soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan not worry about Emperor Lu slashing people? In the face of the interests of imperial power, not to mention Weng's son-in-law, even fathers and sons, cannibalism abounds. The Imperial City Division is afraid that the common people will not understand the truth inside, and when they spread rumors and headless posts, they are eager to break this truth so that the people can understand.

But many in the court were opposed to Emperor Lu's southern tour.

In ancient times, going far away was to take risks, and contracting a disease on the road was a major event. Emperor Lu's son is not yet an adult, and he is concerned with the safety of the world. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, it is best for Emperor Lu not to go anywhere.

Far away, think of Qin Shi Huang; Close, think about that Zhou Shizong.

Who dares to say that their food, clothing, shelter and medical treatment are not good on the journey and outing?

Or is Chai Rong's body weak or old? But Emperor Lu didn't listen. He has a bug, what is he afraid of?

Next, Xiao Jiasui's note was sent to Emperor Lu, but it was Xiao Jiasui and San Ruan who jointly bowed to Emperor Lu, stated the details of the problem of the imbalance of Guangnan's military strength, sent it to Yidu in an urgent 600-mile manner, and reported the follow-up development and impact of the Taibailou incident to Emperor Lu with a folded piece.

When the recital arrived, Emperor Lu was discussing the matter of the southern tour with some close ministers in the Xuande Pavilion.

Yes, Emperor Lu forced the clapper to go to Jiangnan. No one can oppose it.

At the same time, Chen Wenzhao, the governor of Jiangnan, and the Security Bureau all had secret messages, saying that after the Taibailou incident reached Jiangnan, the people's hearts were unstable.

It can be regarded as providing a basis for Emperor Lu.

If so, Emperor Lu decided to go to Jiangnan to see it in person, and it was right. Calming people's hearts is one thing, and the other is to inspect the river workers.

The north and south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the south, the north is the waterway, but because there is no Yellow River to seize the Huai into the sea, it is still peaceful and peaceful now. It cannot be said that there is no harm from floods, which can be compared with the Jianghuai floods during the Song and Jin exchanges in the official history, and compared with the floods in northern Jiangsu in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it can be said that there is almost none.

In the official history, the Southern Song Dynasty Tokyo stayed behind Du Chong to dig the Yellow River embankment, opening the history of the Yellow River for more than six or seven hundred years. The Yellow River carries a large amount of sediment and pours on the northern Jiangsu Plain, so that the lower reaches of the Huai River after the confluence of the Yellow River and the Huai River are gradually lifted, and the Huai River is not smooth to the sea, resulting in the backflow of the Huai River, such as the rich Huainan land flooded all year round. On both sides of the lower reaches of the Huai River, large and small lakes and marshes such as Fuling Lake and Po Pu Pond are connected together, and gradually converge into Hongze Lake in later generations. With the emergence, expansion and flooding of Hongze Lake, many ancient towns in the lower reaches of the Huai River were wiped out, the Linhuai County City and Fuling County Town built in the Han Dynasty, the Sizhou City that arose in the Tang Dynasty, and the ancient town of Hongze that was prosperous for thousands of years all sank into the lake, and the Ganluo City, the Huaiyin Ancient City, and the Qinghe County at the intersection of the Huang, Huai and Canal were also abandoned because of the flood.

But now, it is impossible for the Yellow River to regain access to the sea, and the political and economic impact on the whole of China is extremely huge.

You must know that in addition to political and military reasons, the fall of the Central Plains in the official history has a major contribution to the Yellow River's capture of the Huai into the sea. Because of the diversion of the Yellow River, eastern Henan, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, and southwestern Shandong have become areas where the Yellow River often floods. The rivers and rivers in these plains were all disturbed and damaged by the floods of the Yellow River, resulting in poor drainage and no way out. Among them, the Huai River has the greatest change.

And then to the contribution of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in water conservancy, not to mention anything else, the reason why the Mengyuan Dynasty perished, who dares to say that there is no credit for "Mo Dao Shiren has one eye and provokes the Yellow River to rebel in the world"?

Many people in later generations knew this sentence, but they didn't understand that the background of this sentence was that Meng Yuan gathered hundreds of thousands of laborers to repair the Yellow River embankment.

First of all, the emperor's salary for river repair work can be deducted, and the rations of migrant workers can be deducted. This is a large amount of income, and the cost of the project can also be deducted, and the flooding of the Yellow River will not drown those who are officials.

So, the old trick came out, when the migrant workers dug out a one-eyed stone man from under the river, and the back was engraved with "Mo Dao stone man with one eye, provoking the Yellow River to rebel in the world", the laborers were moved.

This stone statue is obviously fake, and the means are also inferior, compared to the means of putting the Dan book written "Chen Shengwang" into the belly of the fish, it is not very clever. But no matter how old the means are, just work.

If so, the great uprising that came to open the prelude to the anti-Yuan was staged.

This is the heavy price paid by Meng Yuan in the river defense and river work. And what about Zhu Ming? According to later statistics, the Yellow River broke 301 times, overflowed 138 times, migrated 15 times, and killed and injured tens of millions of victims.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the average annual expenditure of river workers in the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian was about 4 million taels, accounting for as much as 10% of the entire national fiscal revenue, and the expenditure during the Jiadao period was as high as 8 million taels.

It can be said that Du Chong's thief was really cut by a thousand knives and did not understand his hatred.

The previous wars did not cause much damage to water conservancy facilities in Huainan and Jiangnan, but they did have an impact to some extent. Now Huainan Province has reported that all the vandals have been repaired and repaired, that is, the canal to the north and the Bianhe channel to the northwest have been dredged and repaired. Emperor Lu naturally wanted to go and see it with his own eyes. And the most important thing is Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Naturally, it is still a big construction site, but last year, a large construction site of more than 5 million yuan was invested, and it was also qualified to affect Emperor Lu's heart.

In particular, Wusong Port has been renovated.

Finally, there is another point, which is to enhance the influence of the new dynasty in the land south of the Yangtze River. During this southern tour, he would declare Jinling as the southern capital, and at the same time serve as the navy and army of Nanjing's major colonels in Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Huainan and other provinces.

At this time, after reading the recital handed over by Xiao Jiasui, Emperor Lu suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Since Lingnan has such a request, then five Haijiao ships will be transferred to the south to deploy the Nanyang Naval Division." ”

The so-called Nanyang Naval Division refers to the Outer Sea Boat Division of the Sanruan Division, and the Beiyang Naval Division led by Li Juntong is the main force of the Daqi Offshore Naval Division. And the Haijiao ship is a 2,000-material ship with guns. The latter has become the main battleship of the current Qi Army's offshore boat division. Although it has many shortcomings compared to the Western-style sailing ships in history, it is the most suitable and economical capital ship for the current Qi army's offshore boat division.

First of all, it has mature manufacturing technology. It has become a common practice to have three or five hundred materials for small and five thousand materials for large.

Second, comparing the performance of the Celestial Dhow and the Mediterranean paddle sailing ship at the moment, today's lucky ship is enough to have an advantage.

It is as tall as a building, its bottom is sharp, its top is wide, and its head is raised and its mouth is high. Therefore, the soldiers on the ship can be high and low, and it is difficult for the enemy to attack from the back. Arrows and artillery can be fired from a bird's eye. When the enemy boat meets, the plough sinks.

Although there are some inconveniences, such as being able to fly back with the wind and tide, it is not driven by human power, and it depends on the wind, and it cannot be made without wind. The draft is deep, and it is inconvenient to force the shore to berth, so it is necessary to take a fake sentinel boat to pick it up.

However, for the offshore boat division, the negative effects of these shortcomings are compressed to a minimum, and they are all sharp weapons of naval warfare horizontally and vertically.

And Emperor Lu from later generations also knew that the stability of the Fu ship disappeared at a very large angle, twice that of the sand boat, indicating that it could withstand a great roll angle, had good movement at sea, and would not easily capsize in case of strong winds and waves, which was suitable for ocean navigation. From the perspective of the performance of the stability safety domain, the stability and safety of the Fuchuan ship is good, and when encountering large waves, the Fuchuan ship has a greater chance of survival.

In this way, Emperor Lu couldn't refuse this type of ship at all. At least for now, when the new warship has not yet been invented, the Fuchuan is his first choice.

It is the most suitable type of ship for ocean-going trade and development, and it is the most suitable type for gunboats.

And the sea dragon ship on the sea Jiao ship and the sea shark ship under it, this is the third-class specification of the artillery ship of the outer sea division of the current Emperor Lu Emperor.

Not to mention the sea shark ship, the sea Jiao ship is a gunboat equipped with ten regular guns, plus eight to twelve tiger squat guns.

Judging from the current naval battle mode, five Haijiao ships with such firepower are an extremely strong force.

Emperor Lu looked at the ministers: "Speaking of cannons, they are really hot goods. The navy and the army are all scrambling. In the long run, the army will only need more and more in the future. ”

"Whether it is in the southwest, or in the east of Liaoning, it is of great use, and it is of great use." Therefore, this cannon building site will be expanded in the future.

"But I heard that the manufacturing bureau on Liangshan Bo is about to stop manufacturing, but there is a shortage of materials, which is not possible! Xue Yong, you should remember this matter, and ask the Ministry of War to gather with the Ministry of Industry, pay more attention, and explore good mines. I'm going to see it for myself! ”

There are many reasons why there is a shortage of materials. First, there is indeed a shortage of good iron quality in China, and now the main source is Hengshan in the northwest; secondly, because there has been a lot of progress in the manufacture of muskets, and some of the fine iron has been left for muskets by the manufacturing bureau; third, because the knife and gun manufacturing department also had to take away some fine iron, which caused a shortage of supply for a while; Fourth, because the manufacturing bureau only uses fine iron to make cannons, and has not yet lit up the "bronze cannons". Of course, there is also the last and most important point, the military department or the Emperor Lu has never urged the manufacturing bureau.

Xue Yong hurriedly bowed and said "yes", and said with a smile: "Your Majesty rest assured." The gunboats of the sea boat division were used, and the ministers saw that there was enough supply. "The training of sea ships and gunners required for that gunboat is not something that can be matched casually. There are two unrelated parallel lines between the two, and if you keep an eye on them a little, you will definitely be able to supply them.

"The cannon made now, in the opinion of the minister, may as well be used on the Yangtze River Boat Division."

Zong Ze sat next to Xue Yong, but he did not approve of continuing to strengthen Nanyang, just as he did not approve of Emperor Lu's southern tour. It's just that before he could speak, Emperor Lu opened his mouth first, telling him that it was not good to admonish him again. There's no need to be serious about these little things, is there?

Yin said with a smile: "The Yangtze River Boat Division has no internal and external urgency, and in the opinion of the ministers, the artillery in stock is enough to deal with it." Similarly, the naval gunboats were not in order, and there was no urgent need for naval guns. If you ask the Manufacturing Bureau to specialize in making tiger squat cannons...... it is also just for the soldiers stationed in the north to use."

This kind of small cannon is simple to operate and simple to manufacture, but it is deeply loved by the majority of infantry troops. Whether it is to fight in a formation or to defend the city, the tiger squat cannon can play a huge role.
