Chapter 0396: Ming Navy
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen took over the recital, which was the recital of Yan Jizu in the engineering department.
Yan Jizu wrote: "The pirate Zheng Zhilong, who grew up in Quan, gathered tens of thousands of disciples, robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and the people were not afraid of officials but thieves. In the same year, he led the Eighteen Zhi from Taiwan to attack Quanzhou, breaking the imperial court's Fujian fleet, and Yanjing was shaken. ”
"Your Majesty, such a pirate is a heinous crime, do you really want to recruit peace?" Wang Chengen glanced at the emperor's eyes.
Wang Chengen knows the emperor's character very well, this is the oath he said, but it is possible that he will change all the hexagrams as soon as he turns around, the emperor is stingy, this is a problem that has been cultivated since childhood, and it is not a problem, this is an emperor who has lived a lot of hard days! He was afraid that the emperor would make a decision, and the emperor would listen to him, but he had the bottom in his heart, and the emperor made his own decisions, and many times, he actually did not approve.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen also glanced up at Wang Chengen, knowing what he meant, this is not an ordinary sin, if such a person is also recruited, instead of killing, then it will not become an encouragement for people to become pirates? If this is done, where is the majesty of the court? Suppression and appeasement, this is a big problem, and it is also preserved in the entire ruling career of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.
"Zhao'an! Pirates are different from land bandits, and besides, didn't this Zheng Zhilong fight against foreigners? You can reward him with this rhetoric, so that he can compensate for his merits! I guess it's not difficult to recruit Zheng Zhilong! You immediately send a letter to Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian! Let him appease Zheng Zhilong, and give him a governor to know! Let him come to Tientin at once with his entire fleet, and I will meet him personally!" Daming, there must be a navy that belongs to the central government! Fleets can no longer be formed in each place! And. This time, I need him to help me go south from the sea! Otherwise, it's too late! At best, high-priced grain is a solution to an urgent need. Can't spend the winter on millions of people in the capital! "Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate for half a minute this time!
What did Wang Chengen want to say. But he swallowed it back, he really wanted to tell the emperor not to pin his hopes on such a pirate, even if this kind of person is recruited, it is only a relationship with the imperial court to use each other, his fleet is slowly saved by himself, how can he completely obey the orders of the imperial court?
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen understood Wang Chengen's thoughts and concerns, and this time he explained, "I know what you think. You're not worried about such people, and you're more afraid of outside discussions, right? Don't worry, won't we expand his fleet when he comes? Didn't I ask Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi to build a port and wharf in Tianjin to build large sea vessels? As long as our people are incorporated into their fleet, after a long time, his people will merge with ours, but are you still afraid that he will not be charged by the imperial court? ”
Wang Chengen said in his heart, will people accept your recruitment. I said it twice, but I said it. "Holy Wisdom."
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen knew what Wang Chengen thought, but he also knew that Zheng Zhilong would definitely accept Zhao'an, after all, the imperial court was his destination, without the support of the imperial court, how could Zheng Zhilong fight with foreigners, how could he fight with pirates large and small? Moreover, later the dynasty collapsed, and the Zheng family worked with the Qing court for decades.
Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong father and son are all national heroes, this is not denied by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen! Maybe Taiwan's aborigines don't think so, but for the mainland, the Zheng family father and son are indeed national heroes! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen decided to unite with the Zheng family! For his own use, when it comes to employing people, there are really few people who are greater than him!
But he uses people, but he will not use people, this is a bit of a twist, but also a little contradictory, that is, he can find people, but also can use people, but he can't help his stingy characteristics, let people do things, and they are reluctant to reward and reward when they are done, and they have merit themselves, and they have let the people below, this is the past, after a hundred years of experience, although the current Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's personality has not changed much, but he has already learned how to be flexible, this time he is willing to take out the money to protect the people of Beijing, which is a big progress for him!
At least, compared with the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen in the past, he has improved a lot now.
After discussing with Wang Chengen, although everything has not changed, it has also strengthened the emperor's confidence in governing Jingshi! If you can't govern the whole world, you always have to govern your own capital, right? Govern your own Beizhili, right? Even Beizhili can't be governed well, so how can we talk about the whole world?
"It's so decided, hurry up and make arrangements, and when there is news, I will go to Tianjin in person, and then go to Nanzhili along the coastal road, and I will go to Yangzhou and Nanjing." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen stretched his waist, he was really tired.
Wang Chengen nodded, just thought about it, and asked nervously, "Long live Lord, do you still want to use the identity of Xunlou to go?" Do you want to be a pirate ship? ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was a little impatient, rubbed his eyes, there were already bloodshots in his eyes, his heart was not tired, but his body was mortal after all, and there were internal injuries, "Don't say it, let's do it, by the way, tomorrow morning, let Yang Yu come here to see me." ”
Wang Chengen hurriedly put on a cloak for the emperor, he didn't dare to delay any longer, seeing the emperor like this, it was really distressing, the emperor, in fact, in Wang Chengen's heart, is the same as his son, his love for the emperor has long exceeded the love between father and son, this is not only the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but also a kind of relationship between father and son.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at Wang Chengen and smiled, "Companion, you don't have to worry about me, aren't I very young?" My body, it's good. I am the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, and I am destined to return! Sometimes it has to be! Don't force it at all times! Since I am the fate of the Son of Heaven, you don't have to worry about my safety, even if I want to go to Nanzhili as the emperor, the ministers will not agree, maybe only if I go to the north, they will not worry about me running away. ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's big companion, coupled with the emperor's self-deprecating words, made Wang Chengen sad, of course he knew the emperor's difficulties, even if the conditions permitted, the emperor is not an emperor who can throw away the ancestral inheritance, can throw down the ancestral tomb, the emperor is definitely not an emperor like Empress Li, God is really unfair to the emperor! An emperor who is so diligent and diligent, why should he do this?
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen saw that Wang Chengen's eyes were red, and he coughed, "Big companion, you can't cry, didn't I issue a strict decree?" (To be continued......)
