Tu Hai asserted that Zheng Zhilong was by no means satisfied with the southeastern corner of An, but was plotting to govern Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and even more so would not plot against Taiwan! This is like a bolt from the blue for Hongyi, who has had a sweet dream for a long time!

"Your Majesty, the slave is not talking nonsense, but has solid evidence." Tu Hai noticed Xuan Ye's surprise, but he didn't change and went directly to Xiao Baylor, so he had to ask for the emperor's honor.

"Evidence? Let's hear it. Fu Lin nodded in agreement.

"Huh. When King Tong'an returned, Shuntian was righteous at the right time, and seeking personal interests was selfish. The best of both worlds go hand in hand. Tu Hai said that the needle was reasonable, and the Manchurians nodded in approval, but a group of Han "second ministers" were flushed, and some couldn't raise their heads.

"Is man without selfish desires? As the appropriate talent Xuan Ye said, even he understands this truth: the maritime merchants are similar to the king of An, and the death of the ocean is nothing more than seeking a wealth and wealth. In my opinion, if Emperor Taizuwu was forced to be helpless and raised troops to resist the Ming, there was a great truth in it - to survive and survive! The most fundamental thing about people's selfish desires is nothing more than this. The key is to promote righteousness and educate all the people, and not to abolish the public or harm the public for the sake of selfishness. As Zhu Zi said: 'Diet, heaven is also; The delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the desire of people. husband and wife, heaven and reason; Three wives and four concubines, people want to do it'. That's why we have to preserve heavenly principles and destroy human desires. Is it right? ”

The smart, studious and intelligent young emperor discovered Han Chen's discomfort and gave a reason with his own understanding in order to resolve the embarrassment, even at the expense of ignoring many beauties in his harem!

"The emperor is really a generation of heroes, and he will definitely open up the foundation of eternity! The old minister has been taught! Hu Shi'an, who was named as a "consolation" of the Ministry of Rites, was naturally deeply grateful. Hurriedly thanked him.

"Your Majesty! The minions obey the oracle. Tu Hai seemed to realize that his upright remarks had touched the sensitive nerves of the Han people present, and he had to stop for a while and follow the flattery.

"It doesn't have to be cliché. Tuhai, you can go on. ”

"Huh. King Tong'an did have selfish desires before he returned to obedience, but he made a mistake and failed to achieve his wish. That is to be the governor of Fujian and Guangdong! ”

"The Governor of Fujian and Guangdong? The figure is cautious. Even in the former Ming Dynasty, in the end, there were only Xuanda [Henan and Shandong], Liangguang, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Jiliao governors were permanent, so why did the governors of Fujian and Guangdong come from? The two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong were respectively the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian and the governor of Guangdong, and the former was the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. The latter only governs Guangxi. There is no governor of Fujian and Guangdong! Just stimulated by the emperor's "moving gift", Hu Shi'an took the lead in refuting it.

"What Master Hu said is extremely true. However, what Tuhai said is by no means false. Tuhai politely agreed with Hu Shi'an's assertion, but insisted on his own statement. After successfully arousing everyone's expectations, this is the first time to say:

"Seventeen years after King Tong'an descended from the pirates. He has served in Fujian and Guangdong. In the years of Guangdong. He should know it all too well. Nowadays, Guangdong is already the second major province with access to the sea after Fujian, and it should gradually understand that the terrain of Fujian is unfavorable with mountains and seas. In Guangdong, it is convenient for land and sea access. In time, the foreign trade of Guangdong Province will inevitably be far better than that of Fujian and southern Fujian! ”

Hongyi really didn't expect this assertion, but the first time he heard it, he felt a little reasonable! If we talk about shipping, Guangdong's geographical advantage lies in the south of the South and the West, the east of the large and small Ryukyu, the north of Liao, Lujiang, Zhejiang, Fujian, the four places, conducive to business; Fujian, on the other hand, has unique access to Taiwan, Ryukyu transshipment and Korea-Japan trade. Comparing the two, each has its own merits. Coupled with the difference in inland transportation conditions, if judged by the international trade perspective of later generations, Guangdong's development potential seems destined to surpass Fujian's.

However, if you want to manage Taiwan as soon as possible, stabilize the Ryukyus, and balance Japan, Fujian's unique geographical advantages are irreplaceable!

It's a pity that people in the Ming and Qing dynasties, even including the "sea merchant" Zheng Zhilong, generally did not have a deep understanding of the importance of Fujian to Taiwan and Ryukyu beyond the times. After all, at that time, the whole territory of Taiwan Island was barren, there were not many people, and the Dutch controlled a small part of southern Taiwan, and their influence spread throughout Taiwan. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, some local officials in Fujian regarded the large and small outlying islands around Taiwan by default as the territory of the Dutch, rather than the territory of China! [e.g. the "big guy" mentioned above]

However, there is no need to jump out of the grand view that "Taiwan and its affiliated islands have been China's inherent territory since ancient times".

Sure enough, Tuhai's argument that Fujian's shipping advantages are not as good as Guangdong's did not arouse much interest. Everyone generally thinks that Zheng Zhilong has such an idea because he covets Fujian and Guangdong provinces!

"Moreover, before our dynasty entered the customs, in the Chaozhou area of Guangdong, the pirates Liu Xiang and others were still fighting against King An, and from time to time they attacked the sea fleet of King Tong'an at that time. In this regard, King Tong'an has always been obsessed with it, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly. He wanted to be the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, but in fact, it was just to sweep away dissidents at sea and unify the ocean. ”

Tuhai said this second reason, which is more in line with the fixed thinking mode of "dog eats dog" thief in the eyes of everyone, so he finally won the nod of the majority of the people.

In fact, this is also the truth, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, although Zheng Zhilong was powerful, he was just on the coast of Guangdong, and he had been active against the Zheng family's ocean shili, among them, this Liu Xiang was the main representative.

Liu Xiang, also known as Liu Xianglao, a native of Lamma Island near Hong Kong, Guangdong, was once one of the "Eighteen Zhi" organized by Zheng Zhilong. Later, because he refused to follow Zheng Zhilong to the Ming Dynasty, he broke with his former brother Yu Ming Chongzhen in the second year (1629). Liu Xiang is also a figure, and the Ming Dynasty and Dutch comprador representatives represented by Zheng Zhilong are opposed, and he chooses to be the comprador representative of Francois (Spain, Portugal), and the two are finally incompatible. In the eighth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1635), Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhihu caught Zhihu with fishing nets when fighting on the sea in Guangdong, and threw them into the sea in front of Zheng Zhilong.

"The time of the dawn. King Tong'an was the commander-in-chief of Guangdong and was able to get involved in Guangdong Province. But what is particularly ridiculous is that after King Tong'an served as the puppet government of Longwu in the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was still resisted by Guangdong officials. There was a book among the remnants of the south that said: 'The Fujian salary is insufficient, and Zhilong sent Liang Yingqi to Guangdong to supervise the salary. In response to the strange past, dozens of people were delayed. If you ask questions, you can't answer them. Yang Qiu, the prefect of Chaozhou, stopped crossing the border. It can be seen that King Tong'an's plot to steal Guangdong has become Sima Zhao's heart! ”

Tuhai's comment caused a slight atmosphere of ridicule and disdain.

But King Tong'an is not giving up, and is always seeking to occupy Guangdong. Nanming Longwu once 'edicted to accept Beijing Shiqing, Huang Xiyin, Huang Zhixuan, Huang Wenhuan, Zhang Mingjun, Deng Zhenghuai, Wu Zhiqi, Chen Beiqi and other family members. Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Pingyu, persuaded him. The reason for King Tong'an was nothing more than that he wanted to recruit him again through his family. But in fact, it's just to get in touch with me. Subsequently, the emperor also ordered Huang Xiyin to appease Fujian. According to the "Huang Xiyun's Title of Recruiting Zheng Zhilong" archived by the Institute of Internal History, Huang Xiyin once went to the imperial court and said: "The minister is from Fujian. Come to Fujian to appease. However, the road is impassable. Therefore, Su Zhonggui went from the path. According to Su Zhonggui's reply: I arrived in Fujian in March, met Zheng Zhilong, and saw that he was sincere in his return. Say it to me. The king of Tang had a violent temperament, and Su Guansheng of Guangdong sent troops to meet me, but I did not go. He also said that the two of us can be the head town when they go to Guangdong, and after I take Guangdong, they can be attached. Before and after the report. In June, he crossed the river with the army and reported to Baylor. Baylor summoned Su Zhonggui to inquire about the situation, and the next day, he rewarded him with fifty taels of silver, and sent Zheng Zhilong with an edict in his hand. ’”

In the "textual materials" of the Qing court cited by Tu Hai, Zheng Zhilong's remarks that "to Guangdong can be the general town, and after I take Guangdong, I can attach it", which is an unquestionable argument. Regardless of whether it is Manchu or Han, it is happy and convinced. Only Hongyi paid special attention to the content of "Baylor" "inquiring about this situation" and "sending Zheng Zhilong with an edict in his hand".

"What King Tong'an once said to Su Zhonggui is indeed in his heart: 'After I take Guangdong, I can annex it.'" It can be seen from this that regardless of the righteousness of King Tong'an's surrender to my Qing Dynasty, if it is his selfishness, he wants to take Guangdong through our dynasty. Its smug calculation is nothing more than 'Liangguang is subordinate to his subordinates, if he recruits Liangguang to self-efficacy, the governor of Fujian and Guang can get it, and the king of southern Judah is also.'" Tuhai summed up the main points and achieved the desired effect, and everyone nodded yes.

"In this case, the slave is only afraid of the three defenses, and the king of Tong'an not only can't fulfill his long-cherished wish, but is controlled everywhere, how can he be willing to be at my mercy? Moreover, why did he ignore the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, but he wanted to go to Taiwan to fight with the Dutch red hair? The minion is stupid, please Belle Ye to solve the puzzle. Tuhai wisely kicked the ball to little Bellor.

Tu Hai knows very well that although it is the edict and promise of the emperor Fulin to let the Zheng father and son "Yongzhen Taiwan", behind it is one of the first policies after the little guy opened his mouth to discuss politics last year, and now the effect is also good, at least Zheng Sen of Fujian has surrendered and rebelled. But whether it can really become a reality, Tuhai is not sure.

Fu Lin was also moved by Tu Hai's in-depth analysis, although he did not completely deny his youngest son's Jihua, he also had doubts, so he hurriedly asked:

"Xuan Ye, how do you answer Tu Haizhi's question?"

Tu Hai's analysis is really exquisite, from the prospect prediction of maritime trade between Fujian and Guangdong provinces, the monopoly of the industry to Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, it is appropriate, which makes Hongyi's blind spots and biased judgments disappear suddenly.

After a little consideration, Hongyi spoke decisively, but in solidarity with Tuhai:

"Huang Ama, Lord Tu is reasonable."

"In other words, King Tong'an is still thinking about Guangdong? Want to be his unheard of 'Governor of Fujian and Guangdong'? Fulin accurately extended Hongyi's judgment.

"Emperor Ama Shengming! Now it seems that once the imperial court issues an edict to King Tong'an, eighty percent of him will pass the buck, the reason is just that he is old and tired, and it is inconvenient to travel to the sea. ”

"What about me? It must not be allowed, but he can't excuse himself, and I can't always coerce him, after all, Liu Xiaozu, a former Ming poet, said, 'It's hard to twist melons in the end'. ”

The emperor's sentence of "Bodhisattva barbarian" made the Hanchen grin and smile knowingly.

"Huang Ama, then give him a big melon and let him like it, okay?"

Hongyi is really not afraid that things will be big! (To be continued......)
