Chapter 385: The Emperor's Arrival in the South China Sea (Part II)

ps: Thank you for the support of the monthly pass on the vegetable garden of the book friend!

"Li Changxi and Guo Xusheng are doing things quickly this time. www.biquge.info"Ye Yingwu looked at the music on the table and sighed with emotion, "Yixuan, you guys discussed, how should I send this Quanzhou Pu family?" In the final analysis, it is also the first family in Quanzhou, whether it is raiding the house or being grounded, it should always give a reasonable explanation to the people of Quanzhou. ”

Ye Yingwu went to Nanyang this time and also took out a few young people who had just entered Beijing from the academy to serve as his staff, first, "three stinkers, race Zhuge Liang", in the final analysis, there are still many people and great strength, Ye Yingwu is not short of these rations, and secondly, it is also to experience newcomers, after all, the Ming Dynasty will still flourish in the future, and it cannot stop abruptly in the hands of this generation.

Of course, there is also a purpose that Ye Yingwu wants to truly establish such an emperor's staff organization similar to the staff of later generations, so as to alleviate the fatigue and difficult choice of the emperor to finally judge the world's major affairs, after all, for the emperor, these staff members have no real power in their hands, and they belong to the noble people, and they are more trustworthy than those ministers who will inevitably have opponents and henchmen in the court.

As for Liang Yanwu, the important thing is not that there are a few more helpers or competitors around him, but that he finally got rid of his previous identity similar to that of the chief of the palace attendants, after all, there are no eunuchs in the entire palace now, and they are all guarded by the hundred battles outside the palace and the female officials of the inner court are responsible for various affairs inside and outside the palace.

For the Ming Dynasty, who has been fighting for many years and has a serious shortage of young strong men, such a decision is undoubtedly very close to the people, and it has also won Ye Yingwu a lot of praise, but Liang Yanwu is always ridiculed behind his back. Now that there are so many people by his side, Liang Yanwu is finally relieved.

passed the music to each other, and Liang Yanwu already understood.

Since Ye Yingwu gave the order in Quanzhou, Li Si and Guo Chang, who had already been pacified, turned their faces and did not recognize people, and the six doors began to search for jewelry, money and food with the local Xiang army from door to door, and the Quanzhou sailors also opened positions inside and outside the port, as long as they had the courage to resist, the sailors and warships did not mind using flying thunder cannons and trebuchets to teach them how to behave.

And the Pu family in Quanzhou, as the largest merchant family in Quanzhou, was originally the target that Ye Yingwu emphasized before, and the six doors collected all kinds of criminal evidence from the Pu family, and this time it finally came in handy. For the Pu family, who had already been named by His Royal Highness, Li Si didn't even bother to conduct a search, and directly ordered a raid.

When Huo Ran, a soldier of the Ming army, opened the warehouse of the Pu family, he realized how rich this rich family, known as "the first in Quanzhou", was so rich. The wealth of the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue for half a year was piled up in the warehouse, and even some gold, silver and jewelry were covered with a thick layer of dust, and I don't know how long no one cared about it.

The Pu family was copied, and hundreds of families below the patriarch of the Pu family, Pu Yuanjia, were all escorted to the prison, and many incriminating evidence of the Pu family were also posted at the city gate and wharf, announcing to the world.

Immediately, discerning people have already seen the problem of the Pu family. In the former Song Dynasty, the Pu family was arrogant as the first big family in Quanzhou, and sometimes even the government did not pay attention to it, and when the Ming Dynasty replaced it, the Pu family knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty and had some restraint, but in the last Wanmin fundraising, the Pu family, which could even be called the richest man in the world, was indifferent.

This has naturally aroused Ye Yingwu's disgust, but the most important thing is that the Pu family does not cooperate with Daming, does not provoke, and just buries himself in business, which is enough for Ye Yingwu to kill the Pu family, because let such a rich businessman stay on his own territory and absorb the blood of Daming, no one knows that there will be a day when the Pu family will come out and be bold and reckless, and they will have the courage to covet the artifact.

At that time, it will still be an absolute headache for Daming, so it is better to nip it in the bud now.

As for why he did it after Ye Yingwu left, he undoubtedly wanted to tell Quanzhou and other wealthy businessmen in the world that he didn't think that His Royal Highness King Ming could do whatever he wanted if he wasn't here. The sky above their heads is still the sky of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, what is really frightening is that after the Pu family and many of the wealthy and noble families in Quanzhou who were ostentatious on weekdays fell, their ships were soon swallowed up by hundreds of small families that sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the Pujia flag, which once occupied half of Quanzhou Port, was also replaced by various flags, which made people sigh and become more and more aware of Ye Yingwu's wrists.

The world is so big, and there are countless businessmen who come for profit. Don't think that you can be lawless with some spare money at home, after all, in the face of absolute ********, wealth is like floating clouds.

And if you look closely, this time the Pu family fell, and the ones who ate the most were not the ones who were most enthusiastic in fundraising before.

Stretching out his hand and tapping lightly on the table, Ye Yingwu looked at Liang Yanwu and those staff.

Quanzhou Pu's treatment of Ye Yingwu is actually equivalent to Shen Wansan, the richest man in the early Ming Dynasty, to Zhu Yuanzhang, although Shen Wansan has no ill intentions, and he talked and laughed with Zhu Yuanzhang and saved the day several times, but after all, it couldn't change Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to kill him.

The wealth in your hands may not be a threat to me in this generation, but in the next generation, no one can say for sure, so it is better to prevent trouble before it happens.

After a few people discussed in a low voice, Liang Yanwu stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Qiqi, the ministers think that this Pu family has committed nine major crimes, and it is enough to put them to death, but the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and the end of this troubled era should show the benevolence and righteousness of His Highness, so it is better to just exile the Pu family, which can save hundreds of lives, I don't know what His Highness thinks." ”

Ye Yingwu rubbed his chin with interest: "Exile, but let's talk about it, where is the best place to be exiled?" ”

"This Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Liang Yanwu was stunned.

In the pre-Song Dynasty, Lingnan and Yazhou were still barbaric places, so exiles often chose these two places, including the famous Su Shi Su Dongpo, who once traveled between Huizhou and Yazhou, which can be called a displacement. However, after Jianyan crossed to the south, the center of the imperial court fell in Lin'an and gradually moved south, and Lingnan, which was originally regarded as a place of smoke and rain, was gradually densely populated.

And since the Southern Song Dynasty, the court is above the ministers, it is difficult to see the situation of the two parties fighting each other like the Northern Song Dynasty, regardless of each other, and the court dispute has become more cruel, Qin Hui, Han Wabi, Ding Daquan, Jia Yidao, whether loyal and traitorous, after the fall, they were all killed directly, let alone exiled.

So now Liang Yanwu proposed to be exiled, but he forgot the entire Ming Dynasty and couldn't find a place of exile.

"What does Your Highness think of Dali?" Huo Ran, a young staff member, stood up and said with some excitement, "Dali is a territory that the Ming Dynasty has just recovered, and it is still wild and remote, so it is better to send these people to Dali to reclaim the wilderness, which can be regarded as consolidating the land for my Ming Dynasty." ”

Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "What I want is the labor of these hundreds of people, Dali is certainly a good choice, but from Dali to Quanzhou, there are thousands of miles away, people are exiled to Dali, how many are left?" How can we talk about consolidating the country? ”

Several staff members were silent for a moment, the state capitals of the Ming Dynasty could not be placed, and they could not be exiled from afar, isn't it embarrassing, can't they really kill the Pu Yuanjia Nine Clans.

And Liang Yanwu seemed to understand, and looked at Ye Yingwu: "What does His Highness meanΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Exile the Pu family to the South Seas? ”

Ye Yingwu chuckled: "Not only the Pu family, but also all the people who should be exiled in the Ming Dynasty in the future, the most suitable place for exile is this Nanyang!" ”

The young staff members all showed a look of surprise and chagrin on their faces, Nanyang, a huge Nanyang, why didn't they think of it?! Although Nanyang is not the land of the Ming Dynasty now, but under the siege of the Ming sailors, there is not much difference from the things in the bag of the Ming Dynasty, but everyone's eyes are so limited to the country, forgetting that this land is about to arrive.

After all, Liang Yanwu is a person who has experienced storms and waves, and he can't help but secretly sigh in his heart, His Highness is far-sighted, this is not so much discussing the place of exile, but training the appetite and ambition of these young people, so that they will not limit their eyes to the country, but to cast their eyes on further places.

The world is so big, and there are great mountains and rivers, not to mention that behind it is the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are ambitious, where to capture is not to explore the bag? It's just Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Liang Yanwu realized something, and took a breath lightly: "Your Highness, there are still many people in the Nanyang Kingdoms, and they are not really desertedΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

"People?" Ye Yingwu was stunned, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth made the young staff members shudder, "If you are obedient, you can be called a person, and if you are disobedient, it is estimated that you will not be able to see them in this world." ”

Obviously, realizing that Ye Yingwu was answering this, Liang Yanwu didn't say anything. Although for most Chinese people, the Celestial Empire and the State of Etiquette are the definitions of the orthodox dynasties of the Central Plains handed down by the ancestors, it does not mean that China will treat some countries equally, especially for the Ming Dynasty, once you have the courage to confront the Ming Dynasty, there is only a dead end!

Ye Yingwu obviously didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, so he just said in a deep voice: "You have also read the battle report of Zhenla in the past few days?" ”

Liang Yanwu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since the Xuanwu Army broke through Hengshan Pass, it has progressed smoothly, but because of the withdrawal of the naval division, the flanks were exposed in front of the Zhenla people, and they had to be tested along the original national border of Zhenla and Zhancheng, and they did not advance. The Divine Guard Army also made unfavorable progress, and after bypassing Hengshan, because the miasma was too heavy, although no soldiers were damaged, they had to stop and repair. ”

Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, it was expected that Zhenla would be difficult to deal with, but the Shenwei Army and the Xuanwu Army were among the strongest armies among the Ming armies, and they didn't expect it to be difficult to break through, but fortunately, they didn't support it at the beginning:

"Six doors and the brocade guard haven't been in front of you and haven't heard any news?"

Liang Yanwu was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "Jinyiwei is also cautious this time, Commander Yang has already gone south, it is said that it is because Jinyiwei is faintly on Zhenla's side, smelling the smell of Mongolian tartars, and he does not dare to act rashly for a while. ”

"Mongolian Tartar?" Ye Yingwu frowned, "No wonder someone said why this Kublai Khan was able to hold it all the time, it turned out that the cat was tired here." Although it is difficult to communicate directly between the Mongol Tatars and Zhenla, behind the Zhenla is the Ilkhanate, which is from the same source as Kublai Khan's Mongol Khanate, and is even similar to a vassal relationship. In this way, the lord of Zhenla turned a deaf ear to Daming's summons, also because he had a backer behind him. Everything is explained in this way, but it also becomes reasonable. ”

Liang Yanwu responded: "The last time the trade route from the Ming Dynasty to the West was blocked, there was the shadow of the Ilkhanate behind it, and this time it is not bad to think about it, once the Ilkhanate stands behind Zhenla's support, then this battle will not be as easy as imagined." ”

Picking up the teacup and gently blowing away the tea leaves on the water, Ye Yingwu said lightly: "It's not so easy, it's not so easy, but this real wax still has to be beaten." As for whether or not the Ilkhanate is involved, it is only a question of whether we will fight with our future opponents sooner or later. ”

Seeing that Liang Yanwu and those staff members were a little surprised, Ye Yingwu took a leisurely sip of tea: "I originally thought that I could meet the Mongolian Tatars only when I got the beginning of spring, but now I understand that I underestimated this Kublai Khan, the southern expedition to Zhenla, the pacification of Nanyang, and a new war between the Mongolian Tatars has begun." ”

Liang Yanwu and the others all subconsciously clenched their fists, glanced at each other, and saw the nervous and excited look in each other's eyes. Originally, they thought that what they could deal with in the South Seas this time was just some uncivilized small fish and shrimp, but now they found out what kind of opponent they were in front of them and what kind of challenge they were.

"Since Kublai Khan buried a nail for me and wanted me to feel uncomfortable, then I don't have to be polite." Ye Yingwu chuckled, "Did Kublai Khan really think that Mongolia's own courtyard was also calm, I think it's time for him to take a look at where Da Ming's wrist is." Yixuan! ”

"The minister is here!" Liang Yanwu hurriedly stood up.

Stretching out his hand and patting it on the map, Ye Yingwu said coldly: "Summoning the Jinyi Guard, the six doors, the time for Goryeo to be calm is too long!" ”

"Goryeo?" Liang Yanwu was stunned for a moment, muttered and repeated, and then solemnly arched his hand, "The minister understands." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded, his eyes blazing, and fell on the map. The world is like chess, all countries are like chess pieces, Kublai Khan, you are very secretive in this step, out of a certain expectation, if it is not for Li Fu and Yang Bao to perceive something, move forward cautiously, I am afraid that now the Xuanwu Army or the Divine Guard Army has been damaged.

Etiquette is still exchanged, since you have taken the step of Zhenla, then I will give you a step of chess! Let's see how you react.

As for the Nanyang in front of him, he still has the confidence to firmly control it in the palm of his hand.

If Nanyang can't become the back garden of the Ming Dynasty and the swimming pool of the water master, then there is really nothing Huaxia can do if it wants to go further in the future.

So this Nanyang, a certain desperately wants to take it!

"Why haven't you seen the fleet of Bo Ni and Java?" Standing on the wide tower of the sea ship, Bai Nutao couldn't help frowning.

As a recognized fierce general of the Yizhou Naval Division, the heavy responsibility of leading the forward fleet to explore the path is naturally entrusted to him, especially now that the main force of the Naval Division has returned to Yazhou to meet His Royal Highness King Ming, only the twenty sea ships around Bai Nutao can take out the forward drive to explore the way.

The reason why the forward fleet was sent out first was that Zhang Gui and Wang Da wanted to make Ye Yingwu's southern tour smoother, after all, they were busy fighting in front of His Royal Highness King Ming, so they would inevitably seem too incompetent. What's more, the fleet of sailors of Bo Ni and Japo can be called a fleet, which is already very reluctant, and sending twenty large sea ships is enough to raze everything.

Bai Nutao didn't have any doubts about this, the fleet he led had been on guard on the periphery before, covering the flanks and back roads of the sailors, which led to the main force of the sailors in the first battle of the estuary fighting briskly, and the soldiers under his command could only stare dryly, and they were already impatient to wait.

But who would have thought that after the fleet broke into this sea area, let alone the ship, not even a single figure was seen, and the surrounding islands were all deserted, as if these two countries had evaporated from the world, which made Bai Futao, who had always been nervous and grinning, a little surprised.

Years of experience in the sea tell this pirate-turned-general that this is absolutely not normal. The sparkling sea and the green islands under the clear sky hide murderous opportunities.

"Boss, we've been patrolling back and forth in this area for two days, why don't we move forward?" A capital head looked at Bai Nutao in surprise, he was the pirate leader who followed Bai Nutao on the sea, although he has changed his ways, but from the way he dressed, he was still a little hanging, "We were a step late in the last estuary battle, if we can't make any achievements this time, I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Ming will really not look at us squarely." ”

Bai Nutao sneered: "Of course I know, but you look at the two islands in front of you." ”

The head turned his head in surprise and saw that there were two big islands at the end of the sea and sky, one on the left and one on the right, just sandwiching the narrow sea water in the middle: "We seem to return from here every day, could it be that the boss thinks Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Bai Nutao slowly clenched the hilt of the knife: "On these two islands, there must be a problem. ”

Not only the capital, but the surrounding soldiers also looked at Bai Nutao. (To be continued.) )
