Section 129 To open or not to open, this is the question

But such a successful general Pingbo committed suicide.

Many people said that he offended the Yan Party, so he suffered. However, Shen Mo didn't see it that way, he thought that Zhu Kun died on two words - 'sea ban'.

These two words are very characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, because no one has ever implemented them before, and even if Meng Yuan was in power, he did not ban the sea.

But the Ming Dynasty banned it, and turned it into a basic national policy, which remained unchanged for two hundred years. The reason is silent and I don't want to study it, but I only need to know that in December of the fourth year of Hongwu, 'the people living in the coastal sea were forbidden to go to sea privately', in October of the 14th year, 'the people living in the coastal sea were forbidden to go to overseas countries privately', and in October of the 23rd year, 'the Ministry of Household Affairs strictly prohibited foreign traffic. October 30: 'The ban on overseas trading with foreign countries' was banned in an all-round and three-dimensional way.

Otherwise, how can people say that Lao Zhu has three major enemies, 'Meng Yuan, Baiguan and the sea'.

Although the later Yongle Emperor was reluctant to quietly relax it. But his sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren did not have the confidence of him, and only by holding on to the 'ancestral law' could he sleep soundly, so the sea ban was slowly strengthened.

However, in the Zhengde period, because the sea ban was implemented for the first 80 years, the price of goods became expensive, and smuggling became rampant. And the officers and soldiers of the guard station were bribed by the sea merchants, and if they did not personally go to the sea to escort them, they would be considered very dedicated...... So in that period, the coastal merchants and eunuchs built ships and went to sea, which became the golden age of smuggling. The later power of Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants was also formed during that time.

Someone has to ask, what about the emperor? Does the emperor just care? The emperor was too busy to take care of it. What are you busy with? I'm busy playing.

Since the emperor doesn't care, it's the ministers who have the final say. When they saw that private people could not be forbidden to go to sea, they took advantage of the situation, relaxed the ban on the sea, recognized its legal status, and collected taxes to generate income for the court and the lords.

As a result, at that time, several major cities no longer prohibited foreign businessmen from coming to China, and domestic maritime merchants also fished in troubled waters, and private overseas trade was carried out semi-openly, and the maritime ban was basically abolished.

But when it comes to today's Jiajing Emperor, this may be the most screwed emperor after Taizu, but Lao Zhu is the emperor of the people, and his starting point has always been good; This is not the case with the Holy One today, who starts everything from himself...... Because this throne belongs to the roadside, he emphasizes orthodoxy very much, and mainly adopts two methods, one is to turn his own prince father into the emperor's father, and then send it to the temple; The other is to hold the ancestral law firmly in his arms.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing forcibly declared a strict sea ban, closed all ports except for Guangzhou City, and forbade the sea people to go to sea; destruction of prohibited large ships; It is forbidden to trade privately, and Taizu's set has been moved out again, which shows the severity of the sea ban.

It's just that things change over time, he is not the Hongwu Emperor who dares to kill all the officials in the world, and the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty in the early days of the founding of the country, which needs to recuperate, but the Ming Dynasty that has become extremely rich after two hundred years of relatively stable development...... Of course, it is only south of the Yangtze River, Lianghuai, Shandong and Jingshi.

The wealth of these places needs to be reflected by overseas luxury; The Zhejiang-Fujian maritime business group that has been formed also needs huge profits from overseas trade to maintain; It is impossible for those Western merchants to give up the Ming Dynasty, the largest market in the world, so Emperor Jiajing's set is destined to be violently counterattacked.

At this time, it was said that it was in the era of chaos, and many devils who had lost the war and couldn't get along in the country ran to the Ming Dynasty to be pirates according to the tradition of 200 years. As a result, like a dirty snowball, many Ming maritime merchants who had difficulty making a living because of the forbidden sea, and who were unable to return to the country because of the forbidden sea, joined the pirate team one after another, and became a huge Japanese pirate -- the total size of which has reached more than 1,000 ships and as many as 780,000 people.

In fact, seven or eight out of ten of the Japanese are 'fake Japanese people', and they are Ming people who have surrendered to the Japanese and communicated with the Japanese. Except for some who were originally pirates, most of them were maritime merchants who were unable to do business and outcasts who depended on maritime merchants. On the one hand, these people are frantically plundering and killing to take revenge on society, and on the other hand, they are inextricably linked with the maritime merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang who continue to smuggle.

The two colluded with each other to carry out large-scale smuggling. The coastline is so long, the sound of the east and the west, the inside and the outside should be combined, so that you can't ban it; If you are not allowed to trade, I will openly plunder, and if you rob, you will run, and the sea will be high and the waves are fierce, what can you do to me? Mistakes in border affairs, the decline of the country's strength, the oblivion of power, and bribery of public banks finally caused a serious border trouble of 'the Japanese invaders in the south of the Yangtze River'.

When Shen Mo synthesized all the information that Shen Lian had forwarded to him, and came to the conclusion that 'the original cause of the unrest was the sea ban', he grasped the truth hidden behind the chaos -- from now on, everything that happened on the southeast coast would not confuse him.

Therefore, he dared to say with certainty that Zhu Kun was killed by his own cross-cutting policy of 'leading the ferry, strictly guarding the armor, and searching for and destroying the people', because he was in the forbidden sea.

Returning to the original incident, it will be clearly found that because Zhu Kun banned the sea, which seriously damaged the interests of Zhejiang, Fujian and maritime merchants, they bribed fellow villagers and Beijing officials with a lot of money, and then bribed the strict party, and organized a group to attack him.

It's ridiculous that the imperial court sent Zhu Kun to kill people, but he turned around and took him down with this crime, which is really ridiculous.

Zhu Kun's surname was strong, and he committed suicide in anger, and the government and the opposition sighed. However, since then, the imperial court has not set up inspectors and ministers, and the upper and lower levels have not dared to say anything about the prohibition of the sea, the coastal defense has been abolished, and the Japanese have become more rampant, poisoning the southeast coast for more than ten years.

From this matter alone, Emperor Jiajing is a complete loser, and he is no longer able to enforce the sea ban!

And Xu Wei's method of 'strengthening the navy's coastal defense' will obviously touch the sensitive nerves of the 'coastal nobles', which official dares to set himself on fire, and who is willing to report to the imperial court for him?

When he told Xu Wei about his experience. Xu Wenchang was stunned for half an hour, and then he tore his peaceful strategy to pieces, and then he actually knelt down to Shen Mo and hissed: "Please teach me Brother Humble Yan." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly helped him up, but when he saw the unruly Xu Wenchang, he was already in tears. The silence also came from sadness, and the two hugged their heads and cried...... The four seas whimper, and the southeast devil cries the sky.

Seven-foot dragon pan gold soap line, short gun iron clothes horizontal sword!

On the peak of Aso Mountain, the dragon flag is swept in the wind.

He said that the long tassel is in his hand, binding the evil dragon of the East China Sea?

Since that day, the relationship between the two has become extremely close, Shen Mo asked Xu Wei for philosophy, the art of war, yin and yang, and Xu Wei asked Shen Mo for political strategy, the way of life, and even arithmetic, physics and other knowledge. The two of them did not hide anything, they taught each other, sometimes they talked for several days, and Shen Mo simply asked Shen An to clean up the Xu Wei family and come out of the house and live here permanently.

Xu Wei only has one dog, so he is naturally willing to have someone to be his companion, so he happily helps him settle down and does not ask him for room money.

The reason why Shen Mo didn't go home was, of course, not because he was too studious, but because he couldn't accept some things. He also knows that it is not easy for his father to be a bachelor in the past few years, and he also knows that it is normal for his father to marry a yellow flower girl as a steproom, but he also knows very well that he can't accept this fact and doesn't want to face it.

Well, then split up, out of sight and out of mind.

And he found that this Qingteng Book House is really a good place to cultivate oneself and cultivate one's surname, every time he reads a book under the flower stand, chats with Xu Wei, feeds Da Hei when he is tired, takes it out to slip around, and quickly throws his troubles aside.

Shen Mo thought to himself: "How good it is now, although Xu Wei is also an old man in his thirties, but people just marry a three-year-old and come back, and it shouldn't be his business." ’

After a few days of such leisure, Shen Jing came to find it.

At that time, Shen Mo was feeding the dog, and when he saw the appearance of this kid's thief and thief's brain, he shouted: "Shen An, close the door!" Shen An had been trained by him to be very obedient, and when he heard this, he latched the door on.

Shen Jing asked in a tiger's head, "What are you doing when the door is closed?" ”

"Close the door and let the dogs go." Shen Mo sneered, and really untied the chain of the big black, and the big black dog that had eaten a lot of his good things really roared and rushed towards Shen Jing.

Shen Jing was so frightened that he ran around the yard with a strange scream, but he was clever, and after running for a while, he came to the bottom of a tree, and climbed up with his hands and feet, narrowly avoiding the big dog's sharp teeth.

Dahei was very sorry for missing out on his prey, and he stood up, lying on the trunk of the tree, scratching the bark with his front paws, and calling fiercely.

Shen Jing begged for mercy, but he was silent but unmoved, and Shen Jing said, 'I have something happy to tell you.' ’

"I don't listen." Shen said coldly, but he still made Da Hei stop.

"Your father is going to give you Zhang Luo's daughter-in-law, and the iceman is at home, go back and let her meet her." The iceman is the matchmaker, and the rule in this line is that he is willing to make peace only when he meets himself.

"Go back and let him marry him." Shen Mo sneered and said, "You dead traitor!" ”

Shen Jing got off the tree and cautiously followed behind, he knew that Shen Mo had wronged himself this time, so he called out to the sky and said, "When I knew, they had already been hired." ”

Shen Mo stood still, turned around and said, "Then you shouldn't join forces to trick me." "Obviously a lot of degassing.

"How do I know you're reacting so strongly?" Shen Jing smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"Not going back." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "You go back and tell my father, I am not angry with him, and I respect his choice." ”

"And you're moving out?" Shen Jing said strangely.

"It's a separation, a separation." Shen Mo scratched his head and said, "Anyway, sooner or later, it's better to split up now." ”
