The problem of foot binding became bigger and bigger, and even foreign envoys paid attention to it. In order to meet the demands of the trolls, the daily royal newspaper was changed to a daily issue.

Now some people have tasted it. Where is Concubine Mu going to fight with them? It's clear that the Son of Heaven has come up with some kind of trick, and he just wants to pry a hole in this matter!

Zhengde is happy to hear these rumors!

He's got a! He wanted to measure the land of the whole country, but now is not the time, and it is not the time to start. Therefore, the of the Son of Heaven borrowing Concubine Mu's hand to explore the way is purely brain supplement.

If a man like me really wants to rectify you, will he let his mother-in-law come forward?! It's just to see that my mother-in-law is having a good time, follow her, and let her play.

Besides, I'm just looking at this thing as unpleasant? A group of birdmen don't do anything, bashing this and defending that all day long...... It was as if the sky would have fallen without them. Before opening the sea, he also cried for his father and called his mother, which made the world look like he was going to be in chaos.

But what about now? The sea is open, and it is still ready to go to the Western Ocean, is the sky falling? The sky did not fall, but it was good, and in a short period of time, the living standards of the people were significantly improved, and there were no fewer beggars on the streets, and they all went to work.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang are now recruiting workers everywhere, but I am afraid that there are not enough people, and I am not afraid of too many people. Therefore, you don't have to listen to the of this group of birdmen, just say a few words if you don't like it, don't be aggrieved. This is summed up by Zhengde.

So my mother-in-law scolded you to give you face?

Poor people could never have imagined that their monarch's brain circuit was so strange, and they slowly lost their voices just by relying on their brains. Of course, there is no shortage of those hard-nosed people, shouting that the world is going down every day, and Tang Yin is too lazy to let these people's articles be published later.

As for knocking on the door? Hehe, just blast it out!

So, the vigorous foot binding incident ended. And the result was that a group of aristocratic women openly put their feet down.

In fact, Jainning is sometimes exaggerated. Although there are also masters who will be called bow-shaped, but after all, they are a minority.

At this moment, the Ming Dynasty is strong, and has not been beaten by foreigners, so it must be stronger in terms of ideology and national self-confidence. Therefore, many people just wrap their feet slightly, and the damage to the bones is not so great, so they only suffer for a while, and slowly get better.

The parents of those powerful people did not dare to squeak. Because the Son of Heaven finally spoke. The Son of Heaven himself wrote an article and published it in the royal daily newspaper, which set the tone for the matter.

Foot binding is an act of serving people with sex, and it is not filial piety, and it cannot be used as a standard of women's morality.

This article is out, and the matter of foot binding is completely set the tone. The Son of Heaven has spoken, who dares to force his own children to bind their feet? To put it more seriously, can an unfilial person enter the court as an official? You have a character problem!

Let's put it, let it go, anyway, the women in the past didn't bind their feet, so let Concubine Mu be okay this time.

Seven years of Zhengde have passed in this lively and lively situation. In the spring of the New Year, news came from the sea.

A merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty was plundered, and after a thorough investigation by the Fujian Sea Route, it was found that a group of Xiban people had done it. As soon as this news came out, the Fujian area was fried!

Fujian has a small land and many people, and has a tradition of going to sea to make a living since ancient times. This time, the court opened the sea, and they could finally go out to make money in a bright way. When he heard that there were many curiosities and even minerals on Luzon Island, he organized a boat to go to sea.

Once or twice, the news spread. The natives were very fond of silk and exchanged large amounts of gold for it. What does this mean?! People have gold mines! These people don't care about stupid things with a lot of money, they deserve to die poor!

So, a group of merchants organized people and ships to go to Luzon, in addition to trade, to find gold mines everywhere.

How can you not be angry when you hear that this Xiban actually plundered the ship? !

In fact, since the last year of boarding Luzon, the two groups of people have become dirty. The Ming Dynasty responded to the Spanish colonization of Luzon, believing that Luzon should be a traditional subject country of the Ming Dynasty, although there were a group of monkeys, but they also paid tribute, right?

But in order to obtain the nautical chart, the imperial court also adopted an attitude of not admitting, not responding, and not resisting. And privately distributing the equipment eliminated by these civilian ships is actually self-defense, but in fact? The meaning of this is clear.

If you grab it, it will be Daming's, and you will be knighted, and you will appear as a savior, this is Daming's routine.

In this way, it undoubtedly harmed the interests of the Spaniards in Luzon. How could this group of business-oriented people agree?! It's just that it was inconvenient to do it before because the envoys were still in Daming.

Now that the envoy is back, he naturally has to teach Daming a lesson!

So a war broke out inexplicably.

By the time Zhengde received the report, before he could make concrete arrangements, the Spaniards had already been defeated.

These Spanish people may bully and bully the natives, but it is obviously not enough to bully the Ming people. This is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are still quite strong!

After Zhengde arranged the measures, the second twist came.

Looking at the word victory, a group of courtiers all felt a little dreaming. Suddenly, I felt that these Westerners were not as powerful as they thought, and looking at this battle, they were just a bunch of fools?!

All right......

At this time, the combat methods of the Western countries are really a bit cheating, and with a group of hateful indigenous leading parties, it is strange that they can win!

The news of the Ming Dynasty's defeat of Spain soon reached the ears of the Portuguese, and now they panicked!

Spain has been fighting with them for many years, and what strength is clearest is what it is. Such a powerful Spain is so vulnerable to the Ming people, if they hold the channel again, will they be retaliated?

Although the Ming Dynasty does not have big ships now, the establishment of the fleet has always been retained. In the coastal waters of the Yangtze River, they have to practice every year. The so-called ban on the sea is only for ordinary people.

If such a powerful country attaches importance to the ocean, within ten years, it will catch up with the Western countries and become the first-class hegemon in this ocean......

The Portuguese looked at the map with a map, and suddenly felt that it was good not to mention the matter of Manraka at this moment, after all, the Ming Dynasty did not order them to withdraw from Manraka, and the exchanges between the two countries were still harmonious. The most important thing is that if they join forces with the Ming Dynasty, will they be able to drive the Spanish power out of East Asia, and then rely on the great powers to create a real base here?

Daming ......

It's still necessary to get in touch again!

"These Westerners ......"

Zhengde couldn't help but laugh when he held a notebook, "Goblin, goblin." ”

"Your Majesty, don't take the enemy lightly."

Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar and secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who has been re-inaugurated, said: "The minister has been inquiring about the affairs of Western countries in his hometown these days, and after entering Beijing, he has also discussed with many colleagues in the Ministry of Rites. Now that my Ming Dynasty has opened the sea and is ready to go to the Western Ocean, then we have to learn to deal with these strong maritime enemies, they are willing to talk, and we should not refuse, after all, it is Spain that is fighting with us, and they are closer to my Ming land. ”

Zhengde was silent for a while, then looked at Li Dongyang and said, "What do you think of Mr. Xiya?" ”

Jiao Fang left, and Li Dongyang became the first assistant. Liu Jian is old, although he was also moved by the Son of Heaven and came to the capital with his old body, everyone knows that he just came to the scene, and he fulfilled the will of the monarch and the minister, so that the Son of Heaven felt better.

The 79-year-old is no longer fit to work so hard.

"What Lord Xie said is extremely true. There is still a gap between my Ming sailor and the Spanish sailor, and if you want to sail far, you need to borrow the power of Westerners to let their dogs eat dogs. ”

"Master Xie means ......"

Zhengde understood, "This Portuguese wants to cooperate with us when he comes back?" ”

"Not bad."

Xie Qian said with a smile: "All the Ming Dynasty knows about their dirty things, and when they are in the capital, they are not less active. ”

"Haha."

Liu Jian laughed, "Lao Chen heard that this road went to Concubine Mu's mother's house, don't they know that Concubine Mu is the most obedient to the law?" ”

"Liu Aiqing also knows Concubine Mu's temperament?"

Hearing people praise his wife, Zhengde is energetic, he looked at Liu Jian with blazing eyes, and said, "She is actually timid." ”

"Concubine Mu is a gentleman."

Liu Jian said with a straight face: "When she was a grass citizen, she dared to criticize Liu Jin, which shows that she is not a timid person." ”

Yang Tinghe said quietly: "Gong Liu admires Concubine Mu very much. ”

"Haha!"

Liu Jian laughed again, "The old man respects the respectable people in the world." Although Concubine Mu is a woman, she is a model of loyalty, righteousness and integrity, how can the old man not appreciate such a strange person? Speaking of which, I still have those two articles scolding Liu Jin, and I take them from time to time to take a look, it's really happy! ”

Zhengde's face was embarrassed, and several old ministers held back a smile. Liu Jian is now 79 years old, and he used to be straight, but now he is even straighter, which makes the Son of Heaven a little unbearable.

The tips of Zhengde's ears were a little red, and he said with a little weakness: "The past is all wrong, so Aiqing won't mention this matter again." ”

Liu Jian touched his beard and said with a smile: "The old minister actually wants to see His Majesty when he enters Beijing this time. Your Majesty is now old, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, and the old ministers are very pleased. The old minister is seventy-nine, and there are not many days to live, and he can see His Majesty personally set things right, and he has issued an edict to make good decisions, and he has worked hard to make the country worse, and the old minister is blind to death. In the coming day, when I saw the first emperor, I would have an explanation......"

There were tears flashing in his eyes as he spoke, he pulled his sleeve and wiped it away gently, and said with a smile: "Let Your Majesty laugh...... When people get old, they tend to be extra sad......"

Zhengde sighed, "It's okay...... Recently, I always think about my father, especially when I eat potatoes. If the father is alive and has this thing, why worry about the Ming Dynasty not being strong? Let's talk about something glad...... The past is gone, perhaps, this is fate......"

Speaking of the first emperor, several old ministers were also sad, sighed one after another, pulled their sleeves and touched the corners of their eyes, leaned over and saluted: "The ministers are willing to bow and die to assist Ming Jun to create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
