Chapter 833: Xinjun
Most of the Westerners who came out to colonize the world were pirates, criminals, bankrupt merchants, in short, they couldn't survive, as long as there was a way to live, no one wanted to fight for their lives with their heads!
Although Spain was the first to establish a colonial empire, it was also the most unenterprising, their main energy was to dig gold and silver mines in the Americas to make quick money, Luzon was just their trade transit point, because of its proximity to the Ming Dynasty, they could exchange silk, tea, porcelain and other scarce materials, which attracted a large number of people to come.

It is said that it is a large number, but it will not exceed 10,000 people, and the soldiers are only a few thousand, ironically, in the early days, Western countries were all over the world, and many colonial strongholds only had a few hundred people, and they occupied a territory as big as a province in the Ming Dynasty.
It makes people's hearts bleed just thinking about it!
Xi Muyun reported that he won the first battle, and he wrote on it that he fought bravely and was not afraid of death. Tang Yi didn't even believe a word, Xi Muyun abandoned his good Jinshi future and ran overseas to operate, and there were seven or eight years before and after, how much strength he hid and how many means he ambushed, Tang Yi didn't know very well. The fight will certainly not be as simple as he says.
However, Tang Yi is very sure of one thing, the opening is good and the Spaniards are inflicted, and the next battle will be easy. It can be said that half of Luzon has been put in his pocket, and there is no need to worry that the bonds issued before will become waste paper, on the contrary, those merchants of the family have tasted the sweetness of overseas expansion, and they will definitely invest even more frantically.
Tang Yi estimates that the ten years of opening the sea, the net inflow of gold and silver is almost as much as 100 million taels, in the past few years, businessmen desperately invested in workshops, expanded workshops, these two years the demand is saturated, everyone is unwilling to invest, capital flow slows down, there are fewer opportunities, which is also one of the important reasons for the crisis in the southeast.
After taking Luzon, the situation is completely different, Luzon is the same size as Zhejiang, and if you count the nearby islands, especially Mindanao, it is about three times the size of Zhejiang.
The climatic conditions are superior, the soil is fertile, the resources are abundant, and it is at the node of maritime trade.
How fat is this piece of meat, and how much oil and water can be squeezed out?
Even Tang Yi didn't dare to imagine that he should really celebrate and gather people from all walks of life in the southeast to drink happily and have a lot of fun.
The idea is very good, but Jiajing died at this juncture!
The first time he heard it, Tang Yi didn't feel the slightest sadness, but felt a sense of relief, the big stone on his chest shattered, and the dark clouds above his head dispersed.
That feeling, like a small animal in the mountains, suddenly heard that the tiger was dead, relaxed, comfortable, a clear stream in the body flowing rapidly, limbs, strange meridians and eight veins, all of a sudden all opened, there is really a fluttering impulse.
Although it is very contradictory, Tang Yi thinks so.
It stands to reason that Jiajing is really good to Tang Yi, a high-ranking official and a good man, once he was commensurate with his master and apprentice, and he was a gentleman and a minister, even if he was driven to a small station later, Jiajing didn't treat Tang Yi well. It's just that if a person drinks water and knows that he is warm and cold, being a courtier for Jiajing is too tiring and undignified.
Always figure out the emperor's thoughts, always cater to his absurd ideas, no matter how correct it is, he can't do it if he's not happy, no matter how fucked up he is, if he likes it, he has to do it like a pug, every time he is like constipation, when he mutters words, Tang Yi wants to scold his mother!
It's really embarrassing to want Tang Yi to feel any pity for him. However, as an official of the imperial court and a favorite minister in everyone's eyes, Tang Yi still has to pretend.
After he heard it, he was entangled for a moment, and the next second he fell to the ground and cried, tears like rain.
Jin Dan and Jiang Zhou helped Tang Yi to go out, and when they went out, they also grabbed a piece of white cloth on the table and covered the big red robe on their bodies.
Zhou Qinyun had an exaggerated expression on his face, obediently, this official is really not an ordinary person, he was unfilial during his lifetime, and he was fooling around after death, he was talking about them!
When the guests are gone, the prepared food and drinks can't be wasted!
Zhou Qinyun swaggered and sat down, beckoned, let the music up, be alone, taste food and wine, it turned out that it was a blessing not to be an official!
……
Tang Yi, who is far away in Suzhou, means that there is no sloppiness in the capital.
Jiajing died in the Qianqing Palace on November 15, a month earlier than in history, and in the last two months, due to the paralysis of the vocal cords, Jiajing could hardly speak, and his limbs had no strength.
Maybe this is also a punishment for him, Xiu Changsheng, who cultivated to the end, turned out to be such an end.
The day before he died, Jiajing felt the call of heaven, and there was a place to live and a place to die. Zhengde died in the leopard room and became the laughing stock of the world, and Jiajing couldn't learn from his brother.
He barely managed to squeeze out two words, "Obey!" ”
Huang Jin helped him take off his robe and put on a bright yellow dragon robe, which was so gorgeous and dazzling!
It's so beautiful, why didn't you notice it before?
If only I could wear it for a few more years, even if it's just for a few months!
In more than a month, it will be the forty-sixth year of Jiajing, and I will be sixty-one years old.
Jiajing was reluctant to give up, and kept staring at the dragon robe, reluctant to blink his eyes.
However, the will of heaven is like a knife, and it will not change in the slightest because of the emperor in the world.
The footsteps of death are constantly approaching, Jiajing's frame from Xiyuan, back to the interior, placed in the Qianqing Palace, that night, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi died, the dragon returned to the sea, scattered ninefold, is sixty years old!
Since Jiajing did not have a queen, and the old queen mother died early, there was no one in the palace who could be in charge, and all the burdens fell on the first assistant Xu Jie.
He immediately asked people to arrange the Qianqing Palace into a mourning hall, everything turned white, and he chose an auspicious time to be buried, and at this time he needed his son to go out.
In fact, when Jiajing returned to Da Nei yesterday, he summoned King Yu to bring his son into the palace to serve. Unfortunately, before King Yu entered the palace, Jiajing passed out, and between father and son, he didn't even say a word.
King Yu personally held Jiajing's head and put his father into the Zi Palace. For the first time in his life, he could look at Jiajing's face so closely and unscrupulously.
Jiajing is not ugly, but after taking the pill for a long time, the bags under his eyes are purple, his lips are sallow, and the hair on his head has fallen out a lot, which is sparse and sparse, and he can see the red scalp.
There is no difference from ordinary old people, this is his father!
I don't know where the cold wind came from, King Yu hit a spirit, and quickly put Jiajing into Zi Palace, he secretly sighed.
But when I thought about it, I felt that I was too timid.
He's all dead, what's so terrible, I, uh no, it's me, I'm the emperor! He is the lord of the world!
Thinking of this, Zhu Zaiyuan's waist pole straightened out.
If Tang Yi sees the appearance of Yuwang's villain, he promises to vomit blood, please, it's your father who dies, is it good or not, be dedicated, and you won't succeed! It's good that Lao Tzu is still crying so badly, you should have a few tears!
Yuwang is also full of grievances, who can cry when he has such a father?
He was born to Concubine Du Kang, and soon after he was born, his mother was left out in the cold, neither the eldest nor the virtuous, and Jiajing did not want to see him, no matter from which point of view, Zhu Zaiyuan was at most a Taiping prince who ate and waited for death.
But providence made people, the two brothers in front of him died one after another, he became the eldest son of the emperor, I thought that the identity was different, and he would get a trace of love from his father, but who knows, Jiajing believed in the proverb of "two dragons do not meet", and drove him directly out of the palace, he was only sixteen years old that year, two years later, Concubine Du Kang died, Zhu Zaiyuan prayed for his mother's filial piety, and the most ordinary thing actually provoked Jiajing's anger.
thinks that he is not dead, his son wears heavy filial piety, which is very unlucky, just like this, King Yu can only bury his thoughts about his mother in his heart, silent, and submissive.
Fortunately, at this time, a bold man from the Central Plains, Gao Gong Gao Suqing, entered the submarine mansion and became Zhu Zaiyuan's teacher, and the gloomy days finally showed a glimmer of light.
But Gao Gong is empty and talented, but there is nowhere to show it, so he can only mentally comfort the poor Zhu Zaiyuan, but this is already precious.
After a few years, another strong man stood up for him, and even did not hesitate to make trouble in the Jinluan Palace, and fought against the arrogant Xiaoge Lao!
It was really moving, and since then, Zhu Zaiyuan has remembered a name: Tang Yi!
In the following ten years, this name kept appearing, and his various deeds made Zhu Zaiyuan fascinated and envious. Although you are a royal family, you are not as chic as a courtier.
God helped, Tang Yi actually entered the palace and became his teacher, it felt like a fan met an idol.
Sure enough, Tang Yi did not disappoint him, although he did not spend a long time in King Yu's palace, but he was vertical and horizontal, and his skills were clever, although there was no direct evidence, but he forced Concubine Lu Jing to die in the fire, and forced King Jing to settle in the land, and he couldn't do without Tang Yi's strategy.
King Yu can sit firmly in the position of the prince, Tang Yi is a great man, and no one can beat him.
The only competitor is gone, in addition to not getting his father's love, Zhu Zaiyuan's situation is getting better and better day by day, Concubine Li gave birth to another son for him, and has two big fat boys, and his status is as stable as Mount Tai.
In his spare time, Zhu Zaiyuan would ask several teachers for teaching questions to understand the people's suffering, and after the publication of the three books of Tang Xue, it aroused Zhu Zaiyuan's interest, he studied hard, and wrote to the teacher from time to time to ask for advice. Tang Yi had no reservations, and he also summarized the actual situation of the people and various statistical data surveyed over the years and gave them to Zhu Zaiyuan in one go.
After studying hard, although he didn't fully understand the economy, Zhu Zaiyuan figured out two things, the first is that Daming is really dangerous, and the second is that Master Tang has a splendid mind and can solve the crisis.
After crying for most of the night, the ministers and eunuchs sent Zhu Zaiyuan to the side hall with the news, and the ministers wanted to withdraw, so he grabbed the high arch, "Mr. stay." ”
Gao Gong was also happy to show his extraordinary relationship with Xinjun, and after giving the salute, he sat on the embroidered dragon pier.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if your name is Lao Chen, what's the matter?"
"Master Gao, I have been able to get to this day, all thanks to the support of you and Master Tang, right now Master Tang is still in the southeast, if he can be by my side and watch me ascend the throne, how happy he would be!" said that Zhu Zaiyuan was stained with tears, but this time the tears were real!
