What is Literati?

A literati is a literate person, a person who has knowledge and a level much higher than the average person!

And what about the officials?

Officials were among the best of these literati.

Even if it's impossible or difficult to explain, in their hands, these officials can cite scriptures to find reasons that can be refuted, and they can also convince you.

Therefore, Jiajing can only abolish the sea ban.

So, Yang Ming, who walked to Dali Temple on the front foot, was recalled to the Jinluan Hall and began to discuss shipping matters.

Because of the entanglement of interests, so soon the court decided to add a maritime department, the full name of the Ming Overseas Trade and Transportation Management Division, although the name is not very good, but the power is not small.

First of all, it is a newly established department, and because of the huge amount of exchanges, its establishment is the division, and the chief official is Yang Ming, who is Lang Zhong of the shipping department, and of course also serves as the prefect of Huizhou.

There are two kinds, and there are three principals, namely Yang Shen and Liu Yi, and the last one is Zhang Wencai, who rose to a high position with his talent and was born in Xiucai, and Zhang Fatzi.

There is no way, Yang Ming strongly recommends it, and he has experience in handling related affairs in various places, although he is not from a professional class, but the title of Zhengliupin definitely makes the old Zhang family shine on the lintel.

In addition, the two brothers of the Zhang family were also brought over by Yang Ming, and the martial arts value of the two hundred households was ordered, which can be regarded as eating a public meal.

After staying in the palace for three days in a row, Yang Ming returned to Huizhou with eighteen big ships, but Jiajing did not take the silver in it, nor did it collect it into the treasury as the funds for Yang Ming's team.

With money and official positions, things become more and more efficient.

Because when he was in the capital, he said that Yang Ming had eighty white slips for the election of officials in his hand, so he was even more hot for a while when he mastered the appointment of small officials.

As a result, Huizhou suddenly became unprecedentedly popular again, and heard that the gentry and officials from all over the country who had established the shipping department in Huizhou came to Huizhou to meet with Yang Ming, all of them were like taking advantage of this east wind to make a windfall, of course, the meaning of inquiring about some rumors was also in it.

In less than three months, Huizhou has built a huge port, and the surrounding areas have also begun to prepare for the construction of trading companies and shipbuilding workshops....

And Yang Shen, Liu Yi and Zhang Wencai are not idle, they need to go to various places to buy the necessary goods that are about to be shipped.

Almost at this time, the Japanese in Fujian and Guangzhou were also wiped out by the sailors of various places, so merchants from various countries also began to contact the shipping department.....

On April 3 of the second year of Jiajing, the preparation of the first batch of goods of the shipping department was completed, and the Guangdong Navy Division sent seventy percent of the department to visit various countries with Zhang Wencai, the director of the shipping department, and transmitted the business affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

On June 18, Zhang Wencai led the fleet to return with a narrow line, and obtained countless treasures of gold and silver, precious stones, and pearls, thus beginning the Age of Discovery.

In the same year, the number of handicraft workshops in the state capitals of Daming increased geometrically!

In the same year, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty exceeded the agricultural tax by four times!

In the same year, the Daming Water Division announced an expansion of 200,000 troops!

In October of the same year, Yang Ming, Marquis of Shuguang, married his wife Xia Shiyurou, and took concubines Miaoyun, Miaoyin, and Li Xiaocui.

......

In just one year, the small countries around the South China Sea have all been attached to the country.

In the third year of Jiajing, in February, the eldest son of the Li family of Yangmen was born, so he sent the Beijing teacher Jiajing to give the name Yang Hai and the captain of Zhaowu.

In the third year of Jiajing, in November, Princess Hongxiu of the Zhu family of Yangmen gave birth to a child, named Yang Yang, and Jiajing gave the town of Yuanhou!

.....

"Yang Ming, what do you think of the recent warat offense?" It was Liu Yi who spoke, his hair was now more than half white, and in the past two years, this Qingliu official, who was born as a loyal minister, finally found his own value, and he was painful and happy all day long.

Yang Ming walked around in the study, and finally thought for a long time before saying to Liu Yi, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea on the side: "It seems that it's time for me to go back to Beijing!" ”

"What, you're going back to Beijing?" The teacup in Liu Yi's hand was about to fall to the ground.

Now the whole Ming Dynasty has become a semi-industrial country, and seventy percent of the goods produced by you go to sea from Huizhou Port, and continue to bring back wealth from the outside, so it can be said that the value generated by Huizhou is much higher than that of any other place.

"Hmmm! I have to go back! In the first half of the year, the Wa Kingdom went through our allocation to fight everywhere, and when they finished fighting, I estimate that there will not be many people left, and when the time comes, you let General Tong Tietong lead his troops to directly kill the winner, and then transport my Ming people and officials from all over the country, just do it! As for whether I'm there or not, it doesn't matter if I'm there or not, now what I want most is to go to Warat, I don't think the northern country should just be guarded, now we have grenades, cannons, and muskets, I think it's time to settle it once and for all, and the barbarians over there in Turpan are not honest when I hear it, so I decided to go over and solve them! Speaking of this, Yang Ming's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said lightly: "Forever solved?" ”

"You..... You're going to kill them all? Liu Yi's hands began to tremble, Wara is not small, and most of the barbarians who survive in the bad waters of Black Mountain are very good at fighting.

Although he thinks that Yang Ming wants to defeat Warat, it is estimated that it is no problem, but it is difficult to kill them all, the most important thing is that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Warat, if all of them are killed, then Yang Ming will certainly have merit, but the name of a killing god will make him spurned by future generations.

"Well, kill all! Not a single one to stay! Yang Ming explained: "I still have the old saying, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" Our ancestors are because of their kindness, and every time they defeat those alien races, they will hold the mercy of the Heavenly Heart of the Upper Body and let them continue to multiply, but when they survive, our Han people will experience tragedy after tragedy, so I would rather be this evil person! ”

"But don't we already have a labor reform policy?" Liu Yi also wanted to persuade Yang Ming that if Yang Ming killed all the Warat people, Yang Ming's best result would be to go back to Shu to retire, which was something he didn't want to see.

After all, such a thing is just too big, and it is not in harmony with the philosophy of science.

"Da Ming doesn't need more slaves anymore!" After speaking, Yang Ming walked out of the study, leaving Liu Yi in a daze in the room.

Immediately, Yang Ming went to Beijing to ask for battle.

In fact, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have long been sharpened.

It's just that the generals who will go out have not yet been decided.

After the cabinet discussed, under the pressure of the Coal Group Memory Business Association, Yang Ming was still agreed to go on the expedition.

In the fourth year of Jiajing, in March, Yang Ming led 200,000 troops to meet Warat.

In just one battle, the 100,000-strong army of Warat was wiped out.

On March 18 of the same year, Yang Ming issued a reward order for the Western Regions, and a Wa Ren head was exchanged for ten taels of silver, and those who killed ten people were given 100 acres of fertile land in the Wa Kingdom!

For a time, the whole north was in a sensation, the Ming Dynasty was in a sensation, and the imperial court was in shock.

No one doubted Yang Ming's ability to pay the reward order, no one doubted Yang Ming's determination, and the imperial court was speechless on the question of Yang Ming's class returning to the court.

Countless heroes in the rivers and lakes, countless rogue bee pupae towards the north bee chrysalis!

And so, the real slaughter began.

In the whole north, from the officers and soldiers to the common people, for the silver, for the hundred acres of land of the Japanese country, countless people rushed to the Warat people.

Even if the Warats are hiding everywhere, they will be caught and beheaded by those who have already been carried away by profits.

March in the Western Regions!

Shock the Ming Dynasty, shock the nations!

As a result, more countries have launched a wave of internal attachment again.

April!

Yang Ming conquered Turpan and was wiped out in three days!

Yang Ming once again offered a reward order in his personal name!

.....

This northern expedition took less than three months, including the rush, the destruction of the Wara, and the extermination of the Turpan tribe!

I thought that I would be deprived of my official position and return to Shu to farm.

However, what Yang Ming never expected was that the decision of the court was once again beyond his expectations.

Although Yang Ming killed people more ruthlessly in this northern expedition, some people think that Yang Ming has made an immortal achievement, and the most important thing is that Yang Ming's so-called benevolent theory has already had a market, and almost all civil officials feel that it is right to treat the people of the Ming Dynasty with kindness, but if you continue to treat those alien races, you will slaughter your own compatriots.

Therefore, after Yang Ming returned to the capital, he received a reply that he would continue to return to Huizhou to serve as a shipping director.

However, because of this massacre, there is no hope for Yang Ming to enter the cabinet.

It's just that Yang Ming is an idle master, and as soon as he returned to Huizhou Mansion, Yang Ming bewitched the Guangdong Navy to use Ryukyu as a supply point and move closer to the west.

Because in June, Yang Ming's old friend Zhao Changsheng, the Southwest Dharma King of the White Lotus Sect, brought him a letter.

It's just that Yang Wanli, who is the chief soldier of the Guangdong Navy Division, did not have the courage, and discussed with Yang Ming for three days and three nights, and finally did not send troops.

However, in the next half a month, countless retired sailors spontaneously prepared to build 80 seagoing ships and went to sea with countless brave men of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, a group of pirate organizations called Dragon God Warriors appeared on the waters leading to Europe from the Ming Dynasty!

These dragon warriors have yellow skin and black eyes, and they pick and loot goods wherever they go......

With the slow passage of time, finally in the eighth year of Jiajing, Jiajing's first son was born, named Hongguang, and crowned the king of Qin!

In the fifteenth year of Jiajing, Jiajing's second son was born, named Hongdao, and was named the King of Han!

At the same time, Yang Ming was promoted to the governor of the South China Sea, and all matters in the South China Sea were sealed by the General Administration! His eldest son, Yang Hai, was sent back to the South China Sea to assist Yang Ming in handling related affairs.

Because now, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has nearly doubled silently!

The so-called South China Sea actually includes various small countries and sea areas in the South China Sea, and its fiefdom of Yang Ming is Ryukyu Island.

In the twenty-third year of Jiajing, Jiajing canonized Zhu Hongguang as the crown prince and sent him to the South China Sea to study shipping with Yang Ming.

At this time, Yang Ming was over fifty years old.

In these years, Daming's science and technology, culture, industry, agriculture, animal husbandry have been unprecedentedly developed, especially industry has occupied a considerable proportion, with the continuous development of science and technology, and with the support of the coal group, it has developed rapidly, there has been electricity and electric lights..... And agriculture began to mechanize.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing, Jiajing was critically ill, and Yang Ming entered Beijing to face the saint.

"Yang Ming!" Jiajing was lying on the hospital bed, and when he saw Yang Ming coming over, his eyes gradually continued to color.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Yang Ming knelt in front of Jiajing's bed.

Jiajing was reluctant to lie on the bed, and then slowly sat up under Huang Jin's service, and then let Yang Ming flatten his body and said, "It seems that I can't do it this time!" Do you know why I let you go to Beijing? ”

Jiajing's face was very pale, but now it may have returned to the light and become a little ruddy.

"I know! You want me to secure the crown prince's accession to the throne! Yang Ming looked at Jiajing on the bed and said word by word.

"Hmmm! That's what it means! I guess it's only been a few days! Jiajing spoke very slowly, intermittently, and said after a pause: "Actually, since I first met you at the inn, I felt that you were a very important person in my life, and sure enough.... I read that right! Did you already have the intention of retreating when you destroyed Warat? If it weren't for the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military intercession, would you plan to retire in Shuzhong? ”

"The minister is actually not like an official, he was not afraid of your jokes when he was studying, he just wanted to eat meat!" Yang Ming smiled helplessly, and said the reason why he joined the company in the first place.

couldn't help but be him, Jiajing was also laughing: "It's that simple? Just for meat? ”

Jiajing laughed and almost lost his breath, rested for a while, and suddenly turned his face away from everyone except Yang Ming, including Huang Jin.

Jiajing asked: "We are not outsiders, you are Hongxiu's concubine or my brother-in-law, in fact, I have been in power for twenty-five years for so many years, and I really owe it to you!" You are now a member of the guard, and I plan to give you Hainan and let you help me guard the southern gate! ”

"You know I won't agree!" Yang Ming's face turned casually, looked at Jiajing and said: "You don't have to test me, in fact, you know very well in your heart, if I really have the intention of rebellion, I won't come to the capital, the reason why I came to the capital is to tell you a secret, so that you can leave with peace of mind!" ”

Hearing Yang Ming say Mimi, Jiajing suddenly came to his senses again, and looked at Yang Ming with two eyes and spit out two words: "You say!" ”

"Actually, I'm from hundreds of years later, can you believe it?" Yang Ming looked at Jiajing with a smile and said: "The reason why I hate foreign races so much is because those people should be killed, and not only those people from the Wa Kingdom and the Jurchens, but also some other countries, why do you think I have cultivated so many people to go to the West for so many years, in fact, it is to do this thing, including Zhao Changsheng was deceived by me to go to Europe to harm the natives of the country." And there is actually only one reason why I am willing to be your courtier, that is, I don't want the Miao descendants of the Han family to be killed by that group of barbarians in a few decades, and they will be brutally filled with servility! ”

"You...."Jiajing was startled and muttered, "Are you really an immortal?" ”

"It's not! ....”

.....

No one knows what the two talked about in the palace, but the second time Yang Ming accepted the defense of the Beijing Division, the forbidden army, and the firearms battalion.....

On May 13 of the same year, Jiajing died, and the crown prince Zhu Hongguang ascended the throne, and the country name was Shunqing!

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has entered a great era...."The whole book is over! 》

It's finally over! Thanks to the readers who have been supporting cigarette butts, it took half a year to finally finish the book, this book was not written, but because of your perseverance, I finally said goodbye to you today!
