Chapter 71: Rewarding Overseas Countries

"What the national teacher said really made our monarchs and ministers embarrassed, but I didn't expect that these remnants of the demon clan have been preparing to take away my Daming country since the reign of the emperor's grandfather and uncle, and it is really dampening. Fortunately, God bless Daming, and there are immortals in the upper realm to help the national teacher, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. It's just that I don't know one thing, the subject country Japan has two boundary-breaking formations, since it is so important, why didn't the national teacher first lead the army to conquer the Japanese subject country Buchen Daimyo and occupy the two formations. ”

The reason why Emperor Wanli asked this question was because of his greedy character in his bones. At first glance, when he heard the terrifying reserve data of Jindao Yinshan, how could Emperor Wanli endure it, it was too far to become an immortal, but the gold and silver were indeed there.

Since Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, he gave Emperor Wanli 100,000 taels of gold pocket money. Emperor Wanli then had the feeling of being a real emperor, with money to reward his subordinates, eunuchs and palace maids were more diligent, they could buy what they needed with money, and they could make it as much as they wanted with money.

This is not just 100,000 taels of gold Emperor Wanli spent nearly half of it not long after, lamenting that the money is easy to use and does not spend it, the news of the existence of a large amount of gold and silver in this subject country Japan is really timely rain, and the division is famous, coupled with the rebellion of the subject country Japan, it is really heaven to take the blame.

"There are two reasons, one is that although our Daming Naval Division is unparalleled in combat power, its ships are not suitable for ocean voyages. The second is that since Liu Daxia burned Zheng He's charts, my Ming Dynasty has no ocean-going charts. And these remnants of the demon clan have them. The Galen ship used by it was the best ocean-going warship in the world, which is why I attacked the Hao River first, seized its charts, plundered its ships and imitated them, in preparation for the conquest of the Japanese kingdom. Yang Fan explained

"For more than a hundred years, my Daming Water Division has degenerated like this, where is the military department?" Wanli is unbelievable.

"See the emperor when the ministers and soldiers are still in the book! What the national teacher said was true, Liu Zhongxuan was worried that going to the West to work the people and lose money, and ruined Zheng He's charts, as well as the treasure ships, and the manufacturing drawings of the lucky ships with more than 1,000 materials, so that our naval division did not have more than 1,000 materials to go to the sea, and the current naval division can only defend near the sea. If he knew the current situation, Liu Zhong would regret not being at the beginning! ”

At the time of the war, he was an old man with a white goatee, and his forehead was so large that it didn't match his face. The contour of the face disc is also strange because most of the teeth are falling out. His eyes shone with wisdom, and he was sharp and meticulous.

The reason why Fang Sew did this was that the Fang family and the Liu family were in-laws for many generations, and his wife at the time of Fang Sewing was Liu Daxia's granddaughter, and the eldest son of Fang Sewing took Liu's daughter as his wife, and the two families broke the bones and tendons, how could he be indifferent when he sewed it.

"Fang Shangshu is really a good person, Liu Daxia has been dead for so many years, and he still speaks for him." Yang Fan suddenly interjected.

"I'm just saying something fair." A hint of panic flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Liu Daxia's Liu family is now the oldest maritime merchant in our Ming Dynasty, and has secretly funded many Ming pirates, from Lin Daoqian, Song Suqing, Wang Zhi, and now Li Dan. Fang Shangshu is really a good grandson-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, you go and tell the Liu family to hand over all Zheng He's charts, otherwise I will personally lead the troops to get them. ”

Yang Fan didn't know if Liu Daxia had taken Zheng He's chart home in hiding, but judging from the fact that Jinyiwei had investigated the Liu family and found all kinds of clues, this possibility was very high, so he came out to deceive.

"The old minister is guilty, but he is selfish, and he covers up his crime because of his in-law relationship with the Liu family. The national teacher has an artifact in his hand, he can explore the three thousand worlds, and what can he hide, the old minister is willing to make meritorious service and persuade the Liu family to return Zheng He's chart. ”

Yang Fan pulled up the skin of this immortal cultivator, and no matter how shrewd the old fox was, he was fooled. Emperor Wanli was shocked again: "Liu Zhongxuan is the third gentleman of Hongzhi, don't the history books record that he was poor in his later years and cultivated the fields for a living?" ”

Where did Yang Fan know the beginning and the end, pretending to be unfathomable, at this time Feng Bao stood up and said: "Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, the old slave remembered that there was such a record in the Dongchang archives, in order to raise border fees during the Wuzong period, Liu Yu and Jiao Fang suggested that Liu Jin copy Liu Daxia's house, saying that they could get two-tenths of the side fees. Now it seems that it is true. ”

"How can this be reasonable, he Liu Daxia is treacherous and loyal, and cut off the foundation of my Daming Water Master to enrich his own selfish interests, Mr. Zhang, how do you think this should be handled?" Emperor Wanli very cleverly kicked the ball to Zhang Juzheng, and at the same time implicitly gave advice, after all, Liu Daxia is a member of the civil official group, and it can only be their own people to deal with the civil official group.

This is Mu Zong's father who taught Grandpa Sejong, and when Mu Zong's father was dying, he told him that the civil official group was too powerful, and he could only use his strength to fight, and he could not end up in person, otherwise he would follow in the footsteps of Wu Zong.

The death of Wuzong has been a mystery, and the history books record that "on the 14th day of the first month of the 16th year of Zhengde, the emperor was in the southern suburbs to worship the main ceremony, and when he worshipped heaven and earth, he suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, and the ceremony stopped." In March, the emperor drove in the leopard room at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the first month of the fourteenth year of Zhengde, Ming Wuzong returned to Xuanfu from Taiyuan, and there are historical records that say, "The emperor traveled to the east and west, traveled thousands of miles, rode horses, waist bows and arrows, waded into dangers and obstacles, braved the wind and snow, and the servants were sick, and the emperor was tired." ”

Wu Zong braved the wind and snow to travel for a long time, and many of his followers fell ill because of this, but Wu Zong was not tired and had such a strong physique, how could he die young at the age of thirty-one?

However, Grandpa Sejong deduced that it was likely to be the work of the civilian clique. Wu Zong is an emperor with a lot of ideas and deeds, he is not only good at military affairs, and has achieved a great victory in Yingzhou, but also good at scheming, using the military general system and the eunuch system to suppress the dominance of the civil system. The civil service system represented by Yang Yanhe is very afraid that after a long time, the civil service system will continue to be suppressed and replaced.

The character of Emperor Wanli is a typical loss hexagram, the upper hexagram of the loss hexagram is weak, acting in the first place for his own safety, timid and afraid of things, so he does not invite trouble or cause trouble, and often sets up a lot of barriers around himself, draws a circle, and does it for prevention.

The lower hexagram of the loss hexagram is sensual. In the bones, in nature, the basis of decision-making is very emotional, with their own likes and dislikes, do what they like, don't do what they don't like, they will escape when they encounter trouble, they will retreat, they will divert their attention, and they will be irresponsible, but they belong to the temperament and live very comfortably.

What he pursues is to enjoy life in his own circle, so he will lose, rather than lose his rights, interests, money, and reputation, but also let himself live more comfortably, which is the cause of the loss of hexagram values.

This is also Emperor Wanli did not act when Zhang Juzheng was alive like Emperor Kangxi, but waited for Zhang Juzheng to do it after his death, all stemming from his character of damaging the hexagram, including the behavior of throwing the pot to Zhang Juzheng just now.

"Your Majesty, although Liu Zhongxuan abolished the public because of his private affairs, although he was at fault, he had no evil intentions, and his life was meritorious to the Ming Dynasty, and his flaws were not concealed. Lao Chen felt that it was better for Fang Shangshu to deal with it, and at the time of this catastrophe, it was the time to employ people. It can make the Liu family make meritorious service for the crime, and at the same time hand over the sea charts, Zhao'an pirate Li Dan will increase my Ming maritime strength. Zhang Juzheng suggested.

"What Zhang Ge said is really what Lao Cheng said for the country, and the old minister reconsidered." The second assistant Wang Zhiyu stood up and echoed.

"The minister also reconsiders!" Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Shen Shi Xingdao.

Zeng Xingwu, Li Youzi, Liu Shouyou, Wang Zongyi, Lu Tiaoyang, Ma Ziqiang and a group of Zhang Juzheng stood up for reconsideration at the end of work.

This is the first time Yang Fan has seen Zhang Juzheng's majesty in the court, and he is in the limelight for a while, comparable to Cao Cao of the Ming Dynasty. The young Wanli Emperor looked a little embarrassed, because his suggestion Lao Zhang did not take, it can be seen that although Liu Daxia died, his Liu family was deeply rooted in the court, and even his own father Zhang Juzheng stood up to speak for Liu Daxia.

Wanli turned around again and looked at Yang Fan, who was sitting next to him, and said, "National Teacher, just do what Mr. Zhang wants?" ”

Yang Fan is of course consistent with Emperor Wanli's will to let him exterminate his family. But as a member of the civil official group, it is really not appropriate for his father to go against his father at this time. The Shen Dynasty army has just started, and the country is temporarily stable, and it will settle accounts after the autumn when its own power is strong enough to make a decision.

"Naturally it's good!" Yang Fan said with a faint smile.

Although Wanli was unhappy, he said coldly: "Quasi-play!" ”

"Ministers are grateful, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Zhang Juzheng led all the ministers to bow down and thank him, and Emperor Wanli found some comfort in his heart.

Zhang Juzheng got up and asked Yang Fan: "National Teacher, you have decided to conquer the remnants of the Demon Clan Portuguese entrenched on Haojiang Island next year, do you have a specific plan?" ”

"Naturally, there is, that is, the implementation of assassination tactics, although the remnants of the demon clan are leased by the Portuguese on Haojiang Island, they are still under the rule of my Daming, and there are still my people of the Ming Dynasty on Haojiang Island. This is convenient for a large number of martial arts masters to infiltrate and target their armed forces to carry out targeted killings, and when I was in Henan, I sent a large number of martial arts masters who are good at light skills to spy on the accurate situation of Haojiang Island.

When these people return and get specific information, I will personally lead the people in the martial arts to carry out this situation together, between the local government and the remnants of the demon clan, the Portuguese forces are intertwined, so I hope that Admiral Qi will secretly take over the Fujian Navy Division, and cooperate with my martial arts master to capture the remnants of the demon clan The Portuguese warship docked in the port of Haojiang.

I hope that everyone will keep their mouths shut about the content of this meeting, be cautious in their words and deeds, and don't negligently pass on the content of today's meeting to the ears of the remnants of the demon clan.

Otherwise, don't worry about me waiting for the true spirit to be destroyed, you may not know what the true spirit is, today I will tell you that after death, there is a little true spirit that can be reincarnated and reincarnated.

Now you can know the fate of the true soul annihilation, don't think that I, Zhang Jianxiu, am ruthless, this is a life-and-death race battle, and there is no room for negligence, and the loser will lose the country and destroy the species. Here I would like to remind you, wait for a trace of the primordial god in my Divine Machine Hall, and anyone who does anything to damage the interests of my Ming Dynasty in the sake of the demon calamity, I will immediately activate the artifact to destroy the primordial gods such as Er.

Of course, there are penalties and rewards, and those who have made great contributions to the demon disaster can not only obtain a large amount of merit to exchange for the heavenly and earthly treasures of the spiritual world, but also have their own fiefdom overseas and establish a feudal country. ”

The young Wanli's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Yang Fan promised a reward without his consent at all, and even broke the ancestral system, which did not take the majesty of their Zhu family royal family in his eyes at all, but Wanli, who was worried about his character, still did not stand up to refute, but watched silently, he knew that someone would definitely raise objections.

Sure enough, not long after Yang Fan finished speaking, a minister stood up and raised an objection: "National teacher, since ancient times, the sealing of the country has been the source of chaos, why do you propose such a reward?" ”

The minister who stood up was none other than his original father, Zhang Juzheng. Yang Fan took out the Ming version of the world map that he had drawn long ago from his empty belt.

"I know that the feudal country is the source of trouble, so I said that the fiefdom and the feudal country are all overseas, and there will be no fiefs in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and those vassal kings in the country are noble. I suggest that the fiefdom be replaced and go overseas. Don't think I'm in exile, for there are vastly vast lands, and some places are far richer and more fertile than you think.

This is the Americas of Yin Shang and Yimin, where there are not only a large number of gold and silver minerals, but also high-yield grains such as sweet potatoes with a yield of 30 stone per mu and potatoes with a yield of 20 stone per mu. Especially sweet potatoes, as big as a fist, the skin color is vermilion, the heart is crisp and juicy, both raw and cooked can be eaten, the yield is high, and the wide variety is barren. If this kind of high-yield grain is introduced, our Ming Dynasty will be free from famine.

Because of this, the remnants of the Yin Shang people did not need to work hard to survive, and together with the herds of wild animals in the American wilderness, the Yin Shang Yi people have been living a life of gathering and hunting during the primitive tribal period.

These remnants of Yin Shang are also my descendants of Yan and Huang, and they urgently need my wise and insightful people to guide and educate. The territory of the Americas is about the size of two Ming Dynasty, 30,000 miles away from the East China Sea, and it takes more than a year to go back and forth smoothly by boat.

I'm afraid that once there is a change, waiting for the imperial court to make a decision, the daylily will be cold. ”

"That's true, the national teacher is far-sighted. Overseas lands are far from Middle-earth, and they are indeed suitable for feudal states. Are there really high-yielding plants such as sweet potatoes and potatoes in the Americas? ”

Shoufu Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and agreed with Yang Fan's opinion, because this move is not only conducive to the centralization of power in the Ming Dynasty, but also allows the Ming Dynasty to obtain huge benefits, and his various contradictions in the domestic reform will be wiped out because of this, at this time he is more concerned about high-yield crops.

With this kind of high-yield crop, the people of the Ming Dynasty will not have the worry of famine, the problem of displaced people will be fundamentally solved, and the Ming Dynasty will become the first dynasty in Chinese history to get rid of the famine, and their courtiers will be famous for this grand event.

"Naturally, there is." Yang Fan opened the introduction of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops stored in the Lenovo computer, and there were clear pictures on it.
