Chapter 199 - It's Not What It Used To Be

Emperor Bixia showed off his profound rhetorical skills, but Little Belle Ye took advantage of the situation to come to a seemingly "nonsense" "will be calculated" - since the twisted melon is not sweet, let's really give him a big melon?

"Oh? What kind of big melon? Fu Lin asked with a smile, but the courtiers were not so relaxed, and they all pricked up their ears and waited for the next step.

"King Tong'an's devotion to Fujian and Guangdong provinces is nothing more than to unify the maritime trade along the southeast coast of the Qing Dynasty. But now, it is expected that he will not covet the government affairs of the two provinces on his own. Otherwise, King Tong'an really doesn't know the times! Hongyi's grinning mouth didn't intend to close at all.

"Why?" Fu Lin really felt that what Tu Hai said was reasonable, and the younger son's judgment was arbitrary.

"Huang Ama, although the ministers thought that what Lord Tuhai said was true, there was a key point that was not discussed, so he made this correction." Hongyi is not in a hurry.

"What's the point? Hurry up. ”

The emperor is really anxious, okay, can you hurry up?

"I, the 'King of Tong'an' of the Qing Dynasty, is no longer the 'Prince of Pingguo' at the time of the Southern Ming Dynasty's puppet government. For this alone, Zheng Zhilong may have a longing in his heart, but in the end he has to obey the court and obey the orders of the Son of Heaven. ”

Hongyi put his hands behind his back and wandered well.

"Oh......"

Although Fu Lin didn't quite understand, with his son's promise, he still relaxed his mood.

"When Nanming was still breathing in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong had a huge navy division, a number of generals, and financial resources that rivaled the country, which could be described as illustrious for a while. But when he returned to the imperial court, except for most of his subordinates, they surrendered together in accordance with the will of heaven. Many of those disobedient people who did not know the current affairs left him and attached themselves to Zheng Sen one after another, plotting the so-called 'anti-Qing and restoration of sight'. Fortunately, our emperor Ama is eloquent and strategic, and decisively let King An go south to reunite with Zheng Shisen, which is really a big move! Just think about it: Today's Zheng henchmen in Fujian, facing Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Shisen, the father and son, the old and the new, will they still be monolithic? Can you still obey the orders of King Haicheng alone? Those old Zheng pirates really need to weigh it up. ”

After a year, Hongyi finally had the opportunity to say that he racked his brains to come up with a vicious plan with the "low configuration" brain capacity of a more than one-year-old child at that time. If it weren't for the fact that Tuhai brought up this topic today, such a sinister thing. Hongyi was originally prepared to keep his mouth shut and never mention it.

"I see!"

Fu Lin suddenly realized and blurted out. didn't have time to think about his son's "insidious and vicious" back then.

"In this way, the Zheng father and son are 'one city and two kings', do they also have to have a trade-off with each other? Maybe now their own family has long been in peace, but the court has not yet known about it. If the order of the opening of the sea and trade comes. Regardless of whether King Tong'an is prevaricating or not. But he must have wanted to show his skills. After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and with the three-year inspection of Shunzhi, who of the old subordinates of the year can be trusted. Whoever looks like a god, he knows best now. If with the help of the power of the imperial court, the king of Tong'an can lead the old department to travel far away, and the king of Haicheng can lead the loyal new soldiers to guard southern Fujian. ”

This analysis is not more superficial than Tuhai, and it is more in line with the "style" of the rainy and cold wind above the court, which is naturally reasonable and natural.

As for saying that King Tong'an will no longer really care about being the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, Xuan Ye thinks that first, he has become the prince of the county, and now it is not what it used to be, and there is no reason to deign to reduce the price to become a governor of Fujian and Guangdong. The imperial court can imitate the three feudal domains of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in Sichuan, Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan in Guangdong, and Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan in Guangxi, so that he can receive a false title of 'knowing the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong'. ”

"The two, this false title ......" Hongyi said in succession, but unexpectedly, someone came out to refute at a critical moment:

"Think twice! This is not appropriate. Hu Shi'an, who is the best at correcting mistakes and deviations, once again came out to remind the little guy kindly.

"Since there is already the king of Pingnan in Guangdong, how can he give the same knowledge to Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an? Fujian already has the governor Tong Guoqi, as well as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian Tuntai, who is stationed in Quzhou, Zhejiang, and is also in charge, and southern Fujian has long been the territory where his Zheng family has long been entrenched. ”

"Master Hu is high! Xuan Ye admires! ”

Hongyi hurriedly took up the topic - thank you, old comrade! What you want is your decent analysis.

"The old minister is stupid, and I ask Lord Belle to solve his doubts." Hu Shi'an really looked serious and came to pursue the answer.

"Xuan Ye actually received the 'holy message' of Huang Ama, and regarded this false title of 'Tongzhi Fujian and Guangdong Provinces' as a 'big melon', and was ready to give it to King Tong'an to masturbate. It was really broken by Master Hu's words, that is, it is a false etiquette that is not good to eat, good to listen to and not easy to use! ”

Hongyi smiled very happily, with a face full of admiration, just like the real thing.

"The Divine Oracle? Old minister......"

Hearing the word "holy oracle", Hu Shi'an immediately became a little demented. Fu Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud: This little guy really uses chicken feathers as arrows, and he can also say that he can be a holy oracle with a single word!

As Lord Hu said, Guangdong has its own Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi to control military affairs, and government affairs are also divided by officials at all levels of the government, province and Taiwan. If King Tong'an really wants to 'know the same thing', I'm afraid Shang Kexi will be the first to come out and restrain him, right? ”

"Oh......" everyone suddenly came to their senses. All the smart people think that our little Belle Lord is using his strength to fight and sow discord, and use the "Han King" to fight the "Han King"; The five Hanchen were all secretly in their hearts, and they also thought that the little guy was making a vicious move!

"As for Fujian, Huang Ama has allowed King Tong'an and King Haicheng to refer to the other three kings, and they are only in charge of military affairs and do not involve localities. In this case, those who know the same and don't know, I think Tong Guoqi and Tuntai will naturally be measured. ”

"Oh......" The ministers were all like stupid at this time, but in fact, they were silently making up their minds in their hearts - in the future, they must not fall into the hands of this little Belle Ye, who is a big ghost and has too many eyes, and he can't afford to offend!

In fact, if Hongyi knew that everyone was slandering him now, he would definitely be wronged! He really didn't expect that his strategy would have such a "poisonous and dark" "by-product". However, his real thoughts are exactly the opposite of what everyone "thinks" - let the four Han people "kings with different surnames" establish some kind of connection earlier, okay?

"Haha, melons are not small. However, how could this undesirable melon fulfill the wishes of King Tong'an, wouldn't he still be unwilling to be the boss? The conscientious and responsible Emperor Fulin asked the point again.

"Huang Ama, the false title must be given, and the benefits must be given a little. Don't let him eat this big melon, but let him smell the aroma is always wanted. ”

"What does Xuan Ye mean?"

"It's true that the talented minister is not thoughtful. Today's plan can be slightly fine-tuned to set up customs and trade between the five ports. It is the overseas trade of Guangdong and Macao [near Guangzhou], following the example of Xiamen, Fujian, so that Tong'an Wang can enter the ship and trade. In this way, it is just a matter of turning one place in Xiamen into two places in Macao and Xiamen. As for the Daqing Sea ship led by King Tong'an, which of these two places he wants to anchor depends on King Tong'an. ”

"Change one to two? Then you're not afraid that you won't be able to prevent Xiazhangquan? Fu Lin raised the corner of his eyes and hurriedly asked. He knew that the aroma of this big melon was actually really strong, and he was not afraid that Zheng Zhilong would not be willing to "plan what he wanted". I'm afraid that I'm afraid that my side will suffer a loss.

"Erchen is not afraid." Since the second half of the Imperial Council, Hongyi has rarely been so confident.

"If the king of Tong'an is short-sighted and sticks to Xiamen Zhangquan, he will sit back and watch the rise of maritime merchants in Guangzhou and Macao in Guangdong, and the beneficiary is the imperial court; If he prospered the trade in Guangzhou, Xiazhangquan would inevitably fall as before, and in the end he could only cut off his arm. ”

Hongyi raised his head and stared at the emperor. The zuihou sentence in his heart, it is not time to say it yet: Xiamen Zhangquan has fallen out of favor, and the Zheng family will inevitably seek a base to go east, so it must be Taiwan!

"Good! I see, this is the real ambush on all sides! haha! This melon plan is feasible! Fulin was overjoyed and decisively made a decision.

"As for Taiwan, if it does not use the sea but guards the land, its status is not obvious. Once the sea route is developed, without the urging of the imperial court, the Zheng father and son themselves will definitely want to drive the Dutch red hair down the ocean and replace them themselves! Lord Tuhai's concerns are reasonable, but he is less biased. ”

Hongyi mentioned Taiwan at this time, although everyone does not pay much attention to the current Shunzhi Dynasty, but it is still necessary to talk about it.

"Xuan Ye said just now that although the two kings of Tong'an and Haicheng are in the same city, they should have already looked like they were separated. Not only the two of them, but as soon as King An went back, the generals of Fujian would inevitably face the situation of choosing wood and resting. As soon as the decree of the great maritime merchant came out, the two kings naturally reacted differently. King Tong'an should take the opportunity to go to sea and re-recruit his old department. King Haicheng will lose his strength in this way, and he will definitely not sit idly by. He wants to strengthen himself, and Fujian is not enough. After all, the fief that Huang Ama gave to his father and son was in Taiwan. ”

"Taiwan is very important here, guarding the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang in the west, connecting the Ryukyu Kingdom in the north, reaching the countries of the South Seas in the south, and in the east, there is a vast ocean and an infinite continent! It is really a place where soldiers must fight, and the Holy Lord must take it! ”

Speaking of which, Hongyi paid special attention to the two of Fu Lin and Tang Ruowang - Fu Lin was obviously excited by the word "Holy Lord", and Tang Ruowang was really shocked by the eastern ocean and the continent that Xuan Ye said! After all, the Qing Dynasty people who really accepted Matteo Ricci's Shijie map were really few and few, and it can be said that there were few of them. But apparently, this little prince was born to know!

Hongyi looked at the expressions of the two and concluded with satisfaction:

"King Yu Tong'an, if he wants to be a big maritime businessman, he will inevitably have a lot of friction with the Dutch red hair, and in the long run, there will be many inconveniences. Therefore, Xuan Ye predicted that it would not be long before the Zheng father and son would work together to deal with the Dutch who stole our island of Taiwan. If the imperial court helps, it will definitely be able to spread the prestige of the Qing Dynasty far and wide! ”

Everyone, Taiwan's status, the people of the United States say that it is an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean! - Oh, by the way, at this time, there is still a country of rice, and there is an aircraft carrier! But with my 21st century view of maritime rights and interests and geopolitics, it will be enough for a while! (To be continued......)
