Sun Chengzong did not know much about the matter of opening the sea, but this did not prevent him from considering this issue as a minister. After lowering his head and thinking about it, Sun Chengzong said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that opening the sea in Fuzhou is a very wise decision, which is far more advantageous than opening a new treaty port. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slowly, and his face became solemn, he had crossed over, and he thought that he had no problem grasping the general direction. But after all, this is not my own era, and if you want to grasp the pulse of this era, it is best to leave it to the people of this era.

"Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" The most trusted minister of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is none other than Sun Chengzong, a minister who can lead dozens of people in his family to serve the country to the death, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse trusts him from the heart. Such a person will never harm the country because of his selfish interests, of course, it cannot be said that he has no selfishness, but his selfishness will never be used here.

"Your Majesty, Quanzhou has always been a place of maritime trade, and it has been since the Song Dynasty. Whether it is local or official, there is no more suitable place in Daming than Quanzhou. Moreover, there are Fujian sailors in Quanzhou, although they cannot go on an expedition, it is more than enough to protect Quanzhou. These are all local advantages, and Quanzhou is not far from Penghu, these are very big advantages. Sun Chengzong has studied a lot of information and has always felt that Quanzhou is the most suitable place.

First, the foundation of the sea is good, and the second is the geographical location, which are irreplaceable! People in other places may not know about maritime trade, but this definitely does not include the people of Quanzhou. If the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to set an example city, there was no better place than Quanzhou.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also thought about it, this is indeed a very important point. However, this matter has not yet reached the time of being particularly anxious, after all, the Taiwan Strait is not calm, and there is nothing to say about the opening of the sea.

Lowering his head and thinking about it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse remembered someone, raised his head and said to Sun Chengzong: "Aiqing, Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian." Do you know this person? ”

Sun Chengzong was slightly stunned, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked this, obviously he wanted to reuse this Nanjuyi! This person Sun Chengzong really knows, but he doesn't know much about the specifics.

"Nanju Yishi lives in Weinan. It can be described as a poetic heirloom, and it is a well-known family of loyalty. Nan Juyi's great-grandfather Nan Fengji, a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Jiajing, was the director of the Ritual Department of the Ministry of Rites. Successive officials, Yanmen soldiers, and Shanxi deputy envoys. Later, he built Jiangquan Academy in Weinan, and its reputation in Shilin was very high. Nan Juyi's grandfather, Nan Xuan, was a jinshi in the thirty-second year of Jiajing, and served as the secretary of the Ministry of Literature and Literature, and the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy. [1 Later, he was promoted to the deputy envoy of Sichuan, and sent a letter to the senator of Shandong, "The Emperor of the Apocalypse does not understand these things, but as an official in the court, he is naturally very clear about these things.

Seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse staring at him. Sun Chengzong continued: "Nan Juyi's father is Nan Shizhong, the Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, but he has already become a scholar!" The Weinan clan is very famous in the court, and it can be said that it is a family of eunuchs! Nan Juyi also inherited the style of the door, and has just been promoted from the political envoy of Fujian to the governor of Fujian. The minister did not have much contact with him, but this person did not form a party. Not for personal gain, it can be described as a temporary choice. ”

Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Emperor Tianqi nodded, since ancient times, the road to the imperial examination has not been easy, and the achievements of the Nan clan are really jaw-dropping. However, for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, none of this is the most important. The most important thing is Nanjuyi's ability.

The DPRK and China have already received Nan Juyi's recital, and the matter of the last recital is also about the Dutch invasion of Penghu. In Nan Juyi's view, the Penghu Inspection Department is the seat of the Ming Dynasty, and Penghu is the land of the Ming Dynasty. If it was occupied by the Dutch, the coastal harassment was great, and he asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to punish him.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse has long since paid attention to this. Now it is naturally time to employ people, since Nan Juyi has this certainty, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will naturally not let him down. Glancing at Sun Chengzong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "The Military Aircraft Department has drafted an order to seal the right attendant of the Nanju Yi Military Department." Led the Fujian military and presided over the affairs of the Netherlands. In addition, the Military Aircraft Department issued a document and told Nan Juyi that I would send someone to contact him. The Military Aircraft Department sent a capable man to unite with the Spaniards against the Dutch. Remember, though, let the Spaniards rush ahead. In addition, he urged Yu Zhigao and Qi Jin to rush to Fuzhou as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The ministers will keep an eye on this matter, and they will definitely do it well before the end of the year, and after the beginning of spring, they can have a battle" Sun Chengzong knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was determined to fight this battle, so he naturally wouldn't be saying that it was useless, and being ready was the key.

As if he remembered something again, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Sun Chengzong and said, "Aiqing, what do you think about the affairs of Liaodong?" Is it time for the best time to use troops? "This is also a problem that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been worrying about recently.

"Your Majesty, now that the reform of the military system has been completed, after all, the time is short, and it is not suitable for large-scale use of foreign troops. Moreover, the emperor intends to start a war in the Taiwan Strait, and it is even more unfavorable to start a war in Liaodong at this time. However, in Liaodong, it cannot be just unguarded, it should be properly harassed and promoted, and Jiannu should not be given time to recuperate. With Liaodong's military strength, there is no problem in doing these things. Moreover, it can also train soldiers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Sun Chengzong thought about it and said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "This matter has also been handed over to the Military Aircraft Department, and you give me Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Liaodong." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do. The minister retired first! Sun Chengzong saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had finished speaking, and he was ready to leave. After getting permission from the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he turned around and left.

Fujian Governor Yamen, Nan Juyi, who was hung up by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, was drinking tea at this time, looking intoxicated. The afternoon sun shines in the lobby, which is a rare leisure time for Nan Juyi, and it is also one of his few hobbies.

For Nan Juyi, the road to career has come to this point, which is already the end. I am not from Hanlin background, and if I want to go further, there is basically no hope for the cabinet. To be the governor of a province, and then to the governor, if it is so hard, I am afraid that the governor will not have his own share. Moreover, not being able to reach the peak of Wenchen has always been a regret of the entire Nan family.

In the eyes of others, the Nan family is a scholarly family, and many people have been admitted to the Jinshi for generations, which is already unattainable. But people look at the high places and walk, and the water flows everywhere, in the eyes of the Nan family, this is not enough. Originally, his grandfather was a member of the Hanlin Academy, and he was very hopeful. Reach the pinnacle of Wenchen.

However, it has to be said that it is a great pity that he later fell into the post of participating in politics in Shandong. Thinking of his grandfather's face when he died, Nan Juyi still feels heartache. Naturally, I made up my mind that I must fulfill my grandfather's last wish. However, he failed the imperial examination. He failed to enter the Hanlin Academy, which made Nan Juyi heartbroken.

But now Nan Juyi's heart has once again ignited hope, since the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, he has reformed the rule of officials and attached importance to military affairs, so Nan Juyi seems to be the work of the Ming Monarch and the Holy Lord. Especially after hearing about the incident of the Military Aircraft Department, the fighting spirit in Nan Juyi's heart burned again.

You may not be able to be like the Cabinet, but the Military Aircraft Department can! The Emperor of the Apocalypse placed the Military Aircraft Department on the same level as the Cabinet, and in terms of actual power, the Military Aircraft Department became more and more important.

It was at this time. The Dutchman crashed into it, much to the delight of Nanjuyi, who knew his chance had come. If you can handle this matter properly, it will be your own political achievement. After meeting the Emperor of the Apocalypse in Nanjing, Nan Juyi even wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. Once the Emperor of the Apocalypse announces the opening of the sea, then he will definitely become a great hero. When the time comes, it is absolutely possible to transfer back to the capital and enter the military aircraft department.

If it was placed in the past, Nan Juyi would not have much hope, but it was different for the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Although this emperor is young, he is definitely able to know people well.

"Sir. There's a guest coming outside! "It was not the old housekeeper who followed Nan Juyi, but the concubine Liu who he accepted here. has been with him for a few years, and also gave birth to a son for him, Nanju Yi Fujian also enjoys the joy of family.

Hearing Liu's words, Nan Juyi frowned slightly, what are the guests at this time? However, he didn't ask Liu. Because the Liu family definitely didn't know, this should have been told by his master. His master has been by his side for many years, and it is impossible not to know his habit of resting in the afternoon, so there is only one possibility, this guest has his own reason to see.

Slowly stood up. After tidying up his appearance and glancing at Liu, Nan Juyi said with a smile: "Make a few more dishes in the evening, I want to drink a few cups, don't let the cook get it." ”

"Don't worry, sir! The concubine will go to get it after a while, and the concubine will cook it herself. Liu smiled gently. Liu has always been very proud of Nan Juyi's ability to like the dishes he cooks.

Walking into the living room, Nan Juyi saw the person sitting there, slightly surprised and a little happy in his heart, but his face did not show a little.

Looking at Nan Juyi who walked in, Xu Xinsu felt a bitterness in his mouth, and he was afraid of this old man from the bottom of his heart. Although Nan Juyi looks very elegant, and even a little nerdy, Xu Xinsu knows that this Nanda is definitely not one of those officials who eat vegetarian meals. It's really not easy to fool him.

"You're back? The official thought that you were gone forever, so how did this trip go well, right? Nanju glanced at Xu Xinsu and asked with a smile, his tone was also very concerned.

Although Nan Juyi gives people a feeling like a spring breeze, Xu Xinsu doesn't think so. The governor did not have the rigidity of the scholars, nor the integrity of the scholars, and he also had this smile on his face when he threatened himself with his own family.

Not daring to slack off in the slightest, Xu Xinsu said respectfully: "The little one knows that he is guilty of great sins, and it is a small honor to be able to do things for adults." Not to mention the reinvention of the small kindness of the adults, the small ones are not ungrateful people, how can they not say goodbye! ”

Nan Juyi smiled and nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Xu Xinsu's answer, as for whether Xu Xinsu was scolding himself in his heart, Nan Juyi didn't seem to care at all. Glancing at Xu Xinsu, Nan Juyi said with a smile: "Let's tell me about your trip!"

"Yes, sir!" If it was before, Xu Xinsu might have scolded Nan Juyi in his heart, but now he will definitely not. In the past, he was forced by Nan Juyi to work for the court, but at this time he really wanted to work for the court. Since Li Dan's death, Li Dan's power has fallen into the hands of Zheng Zhilong, which makes Xu Xinsu very worried.

After all, unlike Li Dan, Xu Xinsu is a simple businessman, not a bandit who crisscrosses the sea. He and Li Dan have gotten along very well over the years, but unlike Zheng Zhilong, the relationship between the two is very bad. Without Li Dan's protection, it would be difficult for him to move an inch on the sea. Before coming back this time, the Dutch were already talking to themselves about the issue of protection money, which made Xu Xin angry enough.

However, thanks to Xu Xinsu's own strength, it is absolutely impossible to refuse. On the way, Xu Xinsu thought a lot. He lifted himself to need a bigger backer. This backer is undoubtedly the imperial court, backed by the imperial court, who would dare to bully me? But from my heart, there is no way to do it.

As a person like Xu Xinsu. was born unwilling to deal with the imperial court, which has penetrated into his bones. But for the sake of his future, Xu Xinsu had to think about this matter, of course, this is a very long process.

didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, Xu Xinsu told all his experiences along the way, and even said that the Dutch collected their own tolls. After speaking, he waited quietly to the side, waiting for Nan Juyi to speak.

After listening to Xu Xinsu's report, Nan Juyi nodded and said, "The big Franky people have come, do you know about this matter?" ”

"Back to my lord. The small ones heard some rumors, and although there are no major incidents happening in the Taiwan Strait now, there are still small wars. Zheng Zhilong is constantly purging and collecting small pirates, and the Spaniards are building fortresses and establishing their own bases. The Dutch were also actively preparing for war, and at the same time sending people back to ask for reinforcements, and the little one felt that a big war was inevitable. He just said what he knew, and as for what to do, Xu Xinsu didn't mention it.

As a businessman, Xu Xinsu understands his status very well and what to say. What not to say is very important.

Nan Juyi's expression was already very serious at this time, and he instinctively felt that this was not a good thing. Da Ming should find a way to intervene and bring things under Da Ming's control. Once things get out of hand, it will be difficult to clean up in the future.

As a governor, Nan Juyi has a very long-term vision. In real history, it was this naval battle that completely determined Zheng Zhilong's position in the Taiwan Strait. Later, he defeated the Fujian naval division of the Ming Dynasty and plundered the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the local situation became very erosive.

His brow furrowed tightly. Now Nan Juyi can only be anxious, he is the governor, not the governor! It is impossible to mobilize local people on a large scale. Although the governor also has the power to command the military and political power of a province, he is also the commander.

If it is to mobilize people to quell the rebellion, or to suppress bandits, these are not a problem. But to start a war with the outside world, the governor does not have this power. Now I can only wait for the Holy Decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the Holy Decree I hope to get is what I want!

After coming back to his senses, Nan Juyi saw that Xu Xinsu was still sitting there, waved his hand and said, "This time the matter is done well, the official has written it down!" Go back and look at your family, this official is not such an unsympathetic person. If you do a good job, the official will never treat you badly afterwards. ”

Although coercion can achieve the goal, Nan Juyi knows that only by predicting the benefits can he better work for himself. Xu Xinsu's tentative words just now, how could Nan Juyi not hear it, and it was naturally indispensable to give him a reassuring pill at this time.

"Yes, sir!" Xu Xinsu stood up, respectfully saluted Nan Juyi, and bowed out.

Nan Juyi also stood up, his stomach was empty, Liu's dish was almost ready, it was time to go and have a drink!

In the vast sea, two people were drinking. Although the waves continued to crash against the hull, not a single drop of wine was spilled on the table. The fleet is very large because each ship is huge.

In the middle of the fleet, more than a dozen big-bellied ships were protected, and this kind of pot-bellied ships that specialized in transporting things were two circles larger than the frigates on one side. On the outermost part of the fleet were two dozen small ships, of course, small ships relative to large ships.

The entire fleet consisted of more than 70 warships, sailing on the sea, riding the wind and waves.

Drinking the wine in the cup in one gulp, Qi Jin glanced at Yu Zhigao and said with a smile: "After so many days of training, I am only allowed to drink wine once today, and Uncle Shi is really strict enough." ”

"Of course, this uncle is not a mortal, since Uncle Shi took over the training, the changes in these soldiers are very obvious, and we are all obvious to all. Since we invited Uncle Shi here, it is naturally better to listen to him. Yu Zhigao shook his head and picked up the wine glass, took a sip gently, and suddenly showed an expression of enjoyment on his face, and glanced at Qi Jin on the side with disdain by the way.

"This time we are about to fight, and this is the last chance for Uncle Shi to relax. I can't wait any longer, it's a pity that such a good warship can't do it on the sea. Ignoring Yu Zhigao, Qi Jindi poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile.

Waving his hand, Yu Zhigao's face was a little flushed, and he said, "Don't worry!" You have fought the war, I heard that the emperor is going to open the sea, and the opportunity for us to make a fortune will come in the future. A lot of silver, it's a handful of oil when you grab it! ”

Frowning, Qi Jin's face suddenly became serious, and said, "Why hasn't your money-loving problem been changed?" This can't be done, something will happen sooner or later! Have you forgotten your uncle's teachings? Don't lose your uncle's name! ”
