Chapter 86 - Shipping Planning

Hongyi had a false alarm, and finally saved the day, but he didn't forget to turn back to find Su Mala. Where to think, Su Mala was also sweating profusely at the moment, kneeling there and trembling slightly, and he was frightened at first glance.

"Su Ma, what Xuan Ye said today, if half a word is passed out, none of these minions outside the house will be left!" After the queen mother got up, she was the first to look for Su Mala, but she didn't expect it to be such a sentence.

"Slave obeys!" Su Mala then got up, and when he raised his head, he was already calm and calm, and he couldn't see the trace of fear just now.

"Emperor, since Emperor Taizu Gao has dreamed of the Hadith, Xuan Ye has also relayed it clearly, how do you manipulate the sentence 'If you don't get rid of the widows, my heart is uneasy'?" The Empress Dowager looked at the emperor with anticipation.

"The retainer is willing to listen to the Emperor's Hadith!" Fu Lin is not stupid, the previous oath of the ancestors just now, at this moment, he needs to immediately show the appearance of mother and son. It's just that the nightmare that Dorgon left him since he was a child is not a dream that can be relieved. Now being deferential and abnormal in front of the Queen Mother, at best, it can only be regarded as a detached appearance.

Hongyi also has his own plans. Just now I heard that Nu ~ Erhachi and Little Japan still have such a historical relationship, I was excited for a while, and I didn't care about the consequences, so I began to come up with the lie of Taizu Tuomeng, just two very simple motivations:

The first, and most important, is to make vigilance, vigilance, and even suppression of Japan a "basic national policy" in the early Qing Dynasty from the height of the ancestors' hadiths. After all, it was rare for the Empress Dowager to speak out about the past grievances between Emperor Taizu and Japan, and coincidentally, Emperor Fulin also touched on the issue of the island's inhabitants in his casual conversation, which could be exploited.

Second, if you want to put this kind of ancient royal drama on your head, you must solve the most difficult problem that will lose your head if you don't get it right: weishenme is you! You are not the emperor, you are not the queen mother, if you are, it doesn't matter how you dream or dream of anyone, as long as you have this spare time, explain it well and make good use of it. But the current Hongyi, or Xiao Xuanye, although the scenery is infinite and everyone knows it, is not the emperor after all, and he can't rob others of the credit.

Coincidentally, for two years, Hongyi has been caught between the queen mother and the emperor, and he is also in a dilemma. If it is said that in the first year after crossing and being born, the main thing was to win over the queen mother to gain a firm foothold and subtly distance herself from the emperor Fulin, then, since the second year, especially in the last few months, Hongyi has quickly entered the political life of Fulin, and several major events have been well worn, ideas have come out well, and work results are better! Starting from the July of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, he also led the Minister of the Presidential Wing of the Firearms Battalion in August (the official is from the second grade, and the palm print of the second rank of the presidential minister is the first brand, but it has not been appointed so far), and in September he led the prime minister of the Five Banners Clan, and he entered the palace to participate in the imperial gate in three months, and he was very close to the reformers of the early Qing Dynasty like Yue Le, all of which, although he was appreciated by Fulin, it inevitably caused the worry of the Queen Mother. If the father and son are both single-mindedly sinicized, Bumu Butai, as the general agent of the conservative shili, will never let it go.

The fact that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are not on good terms has been an indisputable fact since the time of the Blessing Prince. And this fact happens to become the realistic basis for Hongyi's dream.

With such a dream, Hongyi actually wants to use Nu ~ Erhachi's words to resolve the knot between the mother and son, at least to be able to improve it slightly. After all, since Hongyi crossed, the estrangement between the emperor and queen has really made him very restrained, and he can't let go.

Fortunately, a good show ended smoothly, and the intention of resolving the contradiction between the two was realized formally, at least the emperor and queen made an oath in front of their ancestors, so no matter how they said it, they had to get by on their faces. In fact, Hongyi sincerely hopes that the two of them can be more intimate and less fearful. But when you consider the political struggles behind it, this aspiration becomes elusive......

"Dongying is a small country, isolated overseas, and what is obtained is not enough to supplement the soldiers' salaries; If it is left unchecked, it is difficult to prevent the troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and it is indeed necessary to take a long-term view. The Queen Mother followed Fulin's question and began to discuss politics openly.

"Yes, the emperor is right!" Hearing Fulin's statement, Hongyi suddenly thought of the official history for some reason, after Kangxi ascended the throne, Bumu Butai did not listen to the government, but what the four auxiliary ministers did, which one of them would involve the figure of the empress dowager! To take the name, take the fact, he is definitely a political master!

"Then what is the emperor's plan?" The queen mother was a little dissatisfied, and Fulin's passive and submissive attitude was actually a mutation of picking.

"The sons and daughters strictly follow the holy precepts of the Queen Mother, and there is no second word!" Fu Lin played a child's temper. After all, Xuan Ye dreamed, Emperor Taizu Gao only said that he wanted the two of us to turn the two of us into jade silks, but he didn't say that he wanted me, the emperor, to really become a "child emperor", and he would listen to the old lady for everything, so if this emperor doesn't do it!

"You ......" Bu Mu Butai was angry for a while, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand the emperor for "only making promises and not thinking of making progress" or something, but suddenly remembered the oath of the so-called "mother's love and filial piety" just now, so he had to show a gloomy face and swallow his anger.

"Huang Ama, the son has a way, I don't know if I can report it?" Hongyi saw that the dream effect, which took a long time to complete the lie, could not last for a few minutes, and hurriedly came out of the circle.

"That's right, Xuan Ye said just now that after hearing about Taizu's holy teachings, he pondered for a few days and had a feasible method, and he wanted to tell Huang Eniang!" Fu Lin was like a treasure, and hurriedly pushed the boat down the river.

"Okay, Xuan Ye has come to the sky auspiciously, and he has come up with many strange strategies this year, which has helped your emperor Ama a lot. But if it goes on like this, the emperor will have a lot less to bear, and he will be a peaceful prince...... "Although the queen mother agreed, she still did not give up, and carried a gun and a stick.

"Huang Mama, where is the grandson's strange strategy? Every piece and everything was carefully thought out and planned by Huang Ama with Xuan Ye, the grandson didn't dare to be greedy for merit, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven was damaged, and the grandson couldn't afford it! Huang Ma Ma, Huang Ma is your son, if you don't feel sorry for your son, how can Xuan Ye get the love of my Huang Ama? Isn't it, Huang Ma Ma ...... "Hongyi really feels defeated.,Left and right maintenance.,There's a kind of kindergarten aunt's jiashi.。

"What the emperor instructed is that the ministers must listen to Xuan Ye's strategy, and then screen it in detail and come up with a solution!" Fu Lin was stimulated, and finally cheered up, and replied.

"Okay, this is the good emperor of the Aixin Jueluo family! E-Niang believes in you! Come, Xuan Ye tell me your method! The Queen Mother finally let go of her worries for the time being, and gave a little kindness.

"Xuan Ye's method is to refuse to leave the country from the country!" Hony is ready to step by step towards his goal.

"Outside the country? Haha, Xuan Ye, the country of the Japanese people is far away, and it is already outside the country! The Queen Mother smiled, not mockingly, but also genuinely.

"Huang Mama, the territory of the country, naturally the first land, but this vast sea, is it an ownerless place?" Faced with a middle-aged woman more than 300 years ago, Hongyi really didn't know where to start to popularize the concept of marine land!

"The ocean is so big, you just say it's your family, and you can manage it? Can you manage it? Only when the people take food as their heaven can they dig out food on the land, but how can they engage in farming on the sea? Xuan Ye, you're really a child! The Queen Mother said a seemingly unbreakable truth, and waited for Xiao Xuanye in front of her to bow down.

"Yes, Xuan Ye, there is a saying in "The Mean", Zi said: Shun Qi's great filial piety is also with! Virtue is a saint, respected as the Son of Heaven, rich in the four seas, the temple feasts, and the descendants protect it. The Son of Heaven is also rich in the four seas, but he has never said that he wants to be rich in the four seas! You still have to read more of the sages! Fulin also came to join in the fun, and he also quoted this passage from "The Mean"! Emperor Shun's great filial piety was also said to the Queen Mother.

"Yes, the Emperor is right! Filial piety is great, even the Son of Heaven should be so. The Empress Dowager is not illiterate, and the Han family knowledge of these scenic spots in the Way of Nature immediately expressed her great appreciation and gratification, and echoed it, and then continued:

"Xuan Ye, greed is not enough to swallow elephants! Since ancient times, the vast sea, I have never heard of anyone who can classify it as their own door! Besides, if you are paddling, there are no mountains and rivers and ravines, how can you tell people that this is the sea of your own home? haha……”

Hongyi was a little anxious, but he didn't expect that the two of them would cooperate seamlessly at this time!

"Huang Ma Ma, Huang Ama, Xuan Ye has a question: If there is no food at sea, is it useless?" Hony decided to give it another try.

"It can't be said that it's useless, offshore, you can build shipping, and most of the grain in the south of the Yangtze River in the Yuan Dynasty went north to Gyeonggi by sea." The young son of heaven Fulin really studied hard, and he also had some involvement in Yuan history.

"Exactly! If there had been no sea transportation, how could the Yuan Dynasty have transported more than 3 million stone of grain north a year with only the increasingly silted ditch[1][hángōu], Tongji Canal, and Jiangnan Canal left over from the Sui Dynasty[2]? The Ming Dynasty was not in order, my Qing Dynasty assessed the southeast is just around the corner, if the south is stable, the annual grain into Beijing will inevitably be the first choice of river transportation, but now from the Tonghui River to the south, through the North Canal, the South Canal, the Lu Canal, the Middle Canal, the Li Canal, the extreme to the Jiangnan Canal, the river is shrinking day by day, and the capacity is declining day by day. And the rectification of Cao Yun is by no means an overnight thing! Since Mengyuan can pay equal attention to sea transportation and river transportation, why can't I be in the Qing Dynasty? Why not? Hongyi grasped one point, but whenever the minority entered the Central Plains, their extremely strong self-esteem was extremely vulnerable, and it was easier to get the acquiescence of the two superiors by comparing it with the Mongols who had long since surrendered.

Sure enough, Fu Lin stopped talking.

After Zhang Xianzhong died in the third year of Shunzhi, the remnants of the Great Western Army, which were dominated by his righteous sons Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and others, entered and occupied Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in the following year. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, the Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty accepted the proposal of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo to jointly resist the Qing Dynasty and set the capital of Anlongsuo. Soon, the Southern Ming Army, with the remnants of the Great Western Army as the main body, launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Qing army. Li Dingguo led an army of 80,000 east out of Hunan, won a great victory in Jingzhou, and recovered most of Hunan; Later, he went south to Guangxi, won a great victory in Guilin, killed Kong Youde, the king of the south of Qingding, and recovered the whole province of Guangxi; Then he went north to Hunan to achieve a great victory in Hengyang, killing the prince Nikan of Qing Jingjin, and the world was shaken. At the same time, Liu Wenxiu also attacked Sichuan, won the victory of Xuzhou, the victory of stopping the river, and recovered the south of Sichuan and the east of Sichuan. Sun Kewang also personally led the army to win a great victory in Chenzhou in Hunan. The anti-Qing troops of Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong on the southeast coast also took the opportunity to launch an offensive, and successively won a series of victories in the great victory of Cizao, Qianshan, Xiaoyingling, Jiangdongqiao, Chongwu, and Haicheng, and accepted the title of Yongli. For a time, the area nominally controlled by the Yongli regime was restored to all of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, most of the two provinces of Hunan and Sichuan, and one of the four provinces of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Hubei.

After that, Liu Wenxiu lost his troops in Sichuan and was lucky to win by Wu Sangui in the Battle of Baoning. However, Sun Kewang was jealous of Li Dingguo's great victories in Guilin and Hengzhou, and forced Li Dingguo away, but his own army was defeated in the Battle of Baoqing. Zheng Chenggong on the southeast coast was also defeated in the Battle of Zhangzhou. Therefore, the Ming army failed to expand its gains in the three battlefields of Sichuan, Hunan, and Fujian, and fell into a situation of holding off the Qing army. After Li Dingguo contacted Zheng Chenggong, he led the army to march into Guangdong twice in the tenth and eleventh years of Shunzhi, and agreed to join Zheng in Guangzhou to recover Guangdong in one fell swoop, but Zheng's army had been recovered by Hongyi's strategy at that time, and the plague epidemic led to the failure of the Zhaoqing Campaign and the Xinhui Campaign. Despite this, the border south of the Yangtze River, China's granary, has been in turmoil, and there has been no large-scale grain delivery to the north. Therefore, the issue of shipping New Year's grain by sea has indeed not been put on the agenda.

Through Xuan Ye's question, Fu Lin had nothing to do, so he had to fall into deep thought.

As the queen mother of the Mongols, when she heard that the Yuan Dynasty of her ancestors had started shipping, she was a little proud and proud, and she didn't think of refuting Hongyi on this issue for a while.

Seizing the opportunity, Hony continued to lobby:

"Once maritime transport is on the rise, the key is whether the sea is peaceful or not. The small island of Wakoku, surrounded by the sea, is all dependent on sea ships to enter and exit. If we don't take precautions now, we may become a serious problem in the future. The sea of death must not be overlooked! ”

[1] Hangou is an ancient canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and is the earliest canal in China that has been clearly recorded. It is also known as canal water, Hanjiang River, Zhongdushui, Shanyang canal, Huaiyang canal, and Li canal. Hangou starts from the Yangtze River south of Yangzhou in the south and reaches the Huai River north of Huai'an in the north.

[2] In the Yuan Dynasty, the number of sea fortunes was more than 100,000 stones, and later increased to more than 300,000 stones. The highest amount of fortune in the Yuan Dynasty was more than 3.5 million stones in the second year of the Tianli calendar (1329).
