Chapter 0935: Da Ming is going to gamble
The most important thing is that even if most of them are remotely commanded in the palace, the absolute power brought by Tian Guifei's identity will also make many things progress faster, in addition to Tian Guifei's brother, there is also her mother's family, and the power of the Shanshan Shang Gang, Tian Guifei's leading role cannot be ignored.
Zhang Huiyi still doesn't know the identity of the emperor, and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen rarely compensates her, just like Tai Songge and Su Mo'er, he has no time to put on women, and now, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's time record with women must be controlled by Zheng Yuelin.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen even developed a habit of not going to Zheng Yuelin every day to tell her about the progress of what he did every day, and he felt uncomfortable, as if he didn't tell Zheng Yuelin what he did every day.
The concubines supported the emperor in doing so. Only by reviving the economy of the south of the Yangtze River, thereby driving the economic development of the entire Ming Dynasty, can we fundamentally reverse the situation of more and more anti-people, relying only on the relief of the victims of the imperial court, it is far from enough, so many people do nothing all day long, just waiting for relief, it can only let more and more victims drag down the economy of the imperial court, and it will also make them develop the habit of getting something for nothing. The key is that after the relief of the victims, those lands are still dry, and they are still unwilling to go to the south to live, let them go to the south to loot, but it is possible, this is the difference in culture and habits between the north and the south, no one can change it, it is impossible for southerners to migrate to the north on a large scale, and northerners will not migrate to the south on a large scale. One side of the water and soil supports the other side, and people everywhere are unwilling to leave their hometown too far, which is why the Central Plains anti-people turn around. They are all just active in the five provinces of the Central Plains. Zheng Yuelin leaned on the arms of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, and Wu Nong spoke softly.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's heart was sweet, just like eating honey, "It's just because these words can't be said on the table, otherwise I can't wait for you to write down what you just said and send it to Daming Daily." Let everyone in the world know what I want to do, and in this world, you alone will know what I think. ”
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was a man who didn't have much patience. His thoughts, Zheng Yuelin knows best, and it is impossible for him to find time to discuss with other women, including his Empress Zhou. Zheng Yuelin and Tian Guifei. is gradually taking the place of Empress Zhou. It's not the status of Empress Zhou, but the status of Empress Zhou in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, in the period of Xinwangfu, he had to discuss big and small things with Empress Zhou, and now he goes to Empress Zhou, most of them just for the friendship of husband and wife, just to feel the warmth of the family.
"But if the emperor does this, the risk is too great. The concubine can't help but worry, if the concubine comes to decide. The concubine would never dare to take this step, and the concubine might say the same thing as Wang Chengen. Zheng Yuelin sighed slightly, and gently held the emperor's hand, her little hand was a little cold.
"I know." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't bear to show it to Zheng Yuelin, gambling was not his favorite way, and rashly intervening in the hegemony struggle in the Jiangnan Sea when the national strength was not supported and the military strength was unknown, which was a gamble in itself.
But he has to gamble, and in life, he can't wait until he is sure of everything to do.
"Don't worry, the emperor, it will definitely work, and the foreigners will be sent away, the emperor will definitely do it, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely do it." Zheng Yuelin showed a sweet smile.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's mood was not very good, whoever was under such huge pressure would inevitably be the same as him, he didn't want to infect his nervousness to anyone, including Zheng Yuelin, but his feelings had to be transferred to her, because she participated in every thought of the emperor.
Although neither of them wants to let the other party know that they are nervous, this feeling cannot be deceived, and the consequences of failing in the royal driving campaign are unimaginable!
Can Yu Zhigao's 8,000 sailors really help the emperor turn the crisis around in one fell swoop? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself was not clear.
When Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen boarded the huge flagship, he still had this idea.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest ironclad ship developed by the Ming Dynasty, although it has not yet been completed, the old minister thinks that this time it is a big deal, so he still lets people seal the bottom first, and they can sail away." Xu Guangqi said to Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed slightly, he had discussed this matter with Xu Guangqi, but Xu Guangqi disagreed last time, feeling that this new warship had not been in actual combat, and it was not all closed with iron plates, and it was also ugly, and he was worried that going out like this would make people laugh.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at Xu Guangqi's gray hair, and was moved, Xu Guangqi has aged like this, he knows how Xu Guangqi lives every day, Xu Guangqi must be working harder than himself, he is shouldering the scientific and technological progress of the entire Ming Dynasty, and he is too bold, "Teacher, in this way, I am already very satisfied, you still don't know, as long as this actual combat is successful, when there is a complete ironclad fleet, what will Daming look like?" ”
Xu Guangqi's eyes shone brightly, and he nodded slightly, "Lao Chen thought of it, Lao Chen can imagine that momentum, the emperor, the ironclad ship used twenty-eight cannons, including three thousand pound heavy guns, two in the bow and one in the stern, all of which were designed in strict accordance with the drawings given by the emperor to the ministers, and the old ministers have tested the sailing quality of the ship, just because of the half-steel wooden structure, it will be slower than the complete wooden ship loaded with a steam engine, but compared with the previous full manual sailing ship, The speed of the 128 warships of the Daming Central Naval Division was more than four times faster than the original. ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, he had participated in the sailor, he had gone to sea with Zheng Zhilong, of course he knew very well how the sailor fought the war! Speed is life, no matter how powerful the cannon is in actual combat, he believes that with the advantage of speed, the Daming Sailor is still not afraid when facing an opponent four to five times larger!
Tens of thousands of high-grade officials in the Jinggi region of the Ming Dynasty knelt down to send the emperor to the expedition, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not say anything grandiose, and said a few words to the people below gently, there is no shortage of civil officials, and the military generals are full of talents, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen believes that even if Jiannu dares to come to a thousand miles at this time, he will definitely not be able to get any cheapness, many times, he is not there, there is no big difference, and Sun Chengzong personally assisted the prince to supervise the country, and he was relieved of a lot of worries.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen and Sun Chengzong also didn't say much, of course he knew that Sun Chengzong and Wang Chengen had the same thoughts, and even everyone kneeling here had the same thoughts, maybe this was a journey that no one was optimistic about.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen took one last look at Zheng Yuelin and Zhang Huiyi in the crowd, and after saying goodbye to the palace queen and concubines who were sent to the dock, he didn't see Zhang Yan, and of course he didn't ask, he was tired and didn't want to ask anymore. If Zhang Yan has anything bad, someone will definitely come to sue him, since there is no news of Zhang Yan, it proves that she is living her life plainly, but she just doesn't want to come to see me.
"Let's go." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gently patted the back of Empress Zhou's hand and resolutely embarked on the journey.
Hundreds of trombones were played at the same time, and tens of thousands of Tianjin people waved goodbye. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's heart was not steady.
One hundred and twenty-eight warships sailed on the sea, this scene was too majestic, and Emperor Zhu Youzhen believed that his Daming Sailor, even if he did not have the combat power of Zheng Zhilong's more than 2,000 warships, would never lose much to him. But it's one thing to have the strength in place, and no one knows exactly what it will be like.
Never stop along the way, just a little supply in Yangzhou.
The Jiangnan officials, led by Qian Qianyi, were all present to greet them, they had been waiting here for several days, and the emperor's fleet was not late. (To be continued......)
