Chapter 427: Open the Sea

On the way to the warehouse of the Ministry of War, Zhu Zhanji had been thinking about it in his heart.

Just now, Zhang Xin was respectful to himself, which also showed to a certain extent that he had infiltrated the military generals and the Xungui group.

Next, it only needs to be infiltrated slowly, or the support forces of the Han King in the court can be turned into their own little by little.

This trick can also be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle.

Let the King of Han be in the court, and there will be no more forces to help him secretly.

As a result, no one secretly reported the news, and no one spoke for the king of Han in the court, and the situation of the king of Han will be difficult.

But that's not enough!

It is also necessary to continue to weaken the Han king.

Zhu Zhanji didn't want the hidden danger of King Han to always exist, but if there was a war, the two sides would definitely lose both, and the most important thing was that the people of the states would be devastated.

This is also the reason why at present, the entire imperial court has not yet chosen to wage a full-scale war with the Han king.

If there is an all-out war, the flames of war will spread, and countless innocent people will die tragically.

Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi and others all thought about slowly trying to do it, as long as the King of Han did not continue to attack the city, then the imperial court would first disintegrate his power little by little, and then defeat it in one fell swoop.

As a result, there are fewer casualties.

In that year, Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingjing, all the way from Beiping to Yingtianfu, which lasted more than two years and killed millions of innocent people.

This huge number will turn into the sins of the imperial court.

And right now, the princes of the court obviously don't want the people to suffer, and they don't want to carry this black cauldron.

Zhu Di fought for two years, and now the power of the Han King is not weak, even if there is a full-scale war, it will have to fight for several years before it can be calmed down.

But if you want to weaken the Han King, you have to start from many aspects.

Zhu Zhanji thought of the strategy of opening the sea mentioned earlier.

Previously, together with the commercial tax reform, there was also a policy of opening up the sea.

However, the policy of opening the sea has not been implemented, and the old man has not relented, but this time, it may be necessary to open the sea.

Opening the sea, while benefiting the country and the people, can also allow the Ming Dynasty to quickly develop commerce, accelerate into capitalism, and lead the world by 200 years.

Zhu Zhanji has seen too much of the consequences of not opening the sea ban.

The Qing Dynasty did not open the sea ban and closed the country, which led to the collapse of the country and no progress.

Until finally, the eight countries united......

The so-called Eight-Nation Alliance actually had less than 50,000 troops, but the Qing Dynasty sent 400,000 volunteers, but they were still beaten into the capital.

Because the Qing Dynasty is too backward!

The 400,000 volunteers were still holding broadswords, and the opposite side was already sweeping with guns.

It was almost a crushing war.

Closed off from the country, he didn't learn anything new, and he was beaten everywhere.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was the world's first power, but by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was constantly weakening, and the production of flintlock pistols was also a step ahead of other countries.

If the sea is opened and the commerce of other countries is absorbed, it can make the economy of the Ming Dynasty more prosperous.

Thinking like this, Zhu Zhanji's heart became more and more urgent.

I want to change the future of the Ming Dynasty.

The failure to open the sea ban has caused the closure of the Ming Dynasty, the strangulation of commerce, the failure to absorb new knowledge, and the backwardness of others.

Therefore, it is necessary to open the sea ban!

Moreover, only by opening the sea ban can trade and improve the development of handicrafts, and at the same time, the Japanese will definitely infest the customs of all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

However, compared with the threat of the Japanese invaders, the benefits of opening the sea are greater.

Moreover, if the Japanese are driven to the area of the Shandong wharf, will the King of Han be anxious?

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhu Zhanji's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

When the king of Han occupied Shandong, he had to guard the customs, and if the Japanese invaded, the king of Han had to resist.

In this way, the strength of the Han King was weakened.

And it can also allow the Japanese to drag the king of Han and make the king of Han exhausted.

Good idea!

Zhu Zhanji had a smile on his face.

Walking on the street, Zhu Zhanji suddenly stopped.

"Today, I won't go to the warehouse of the military department."

"Regarding the idea of opening the sea ban, I have to talk to the great Confucians of the Hanlin Academy."

Zhu Zhanji muttered, changed his walking route, and walked in the direction of the Hanlin Academy.

Nowadays, there are no more scholars in the Academy.

The new scholar has not yet been elected, and the prince is also hesitant, because every scholar always dies heroically, so the prince is not in a hurry to choose.

Moreover, there is a lack of people with high moral integrity.

Nowadays, the prestige of the Hanlin Academy is relatively strong, that is, Zhang Shanzhong, Fang Chengyuan, and Fan Qiu.

When Zhu Zhanji came to the Hanlin Academy, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy saw Zhu Zhanji and hurriedly saluted Zhu Zhanji.

"Meet His Royal Highness."

"Meet His Royal Highness."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, indicating that he was not polite, and then walked into the Hanlin Academy.

The compilation of the Hanlin Academy, the scholars heard that His Royal Highness Taisun had come down, and they also came out to pay their respects.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Fan Qiu, Fang Chengyuan, and Zhang Shanzhong, and said with a smile: "Please find a secluded place for the three great Confucians, and we will talk about it." ”

Fan Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, His Royal Highness Taisun, please come with me." ”

Soon, the three Confucians led Zhu Zhanji to a room.

"This is the study room of the scholars of the past dynasties, and there is no one around, His Royal Highness Taisun can just say it." Fan Qiu said with a smile.

Zhu Zhanji bowed.

Sit down at the table.

The three great Confucians also sat down in turn, waiting for the grandson to speak.

Zhu Zhanji looked around at this old room, surrounded by all kinds of books, Zhu Zhanji sighed: "At the beginning, Mr. Xu and Mr. Yu worked here, right?" ”

Speaking of these two, the eyes of the three Confucians were a little sad.

"Yes, all generations of scholars have gone out from here." Fan Qiu bowed.

Zhu Zhanji grinned: "Originally, I should have asked a scholar for help in this matter, but now there are no scholars in the Hanlin Academy, so I can only find three great Confucians." ”

"You are all respected seniors in the Hanlin Academy, and I would like to ask you to propose a new policy when you meet tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, the three great Confucians immediately concentrated.

They knew the talent of the grandson, so when they heard that there was a new policy, the three great Confucians also looked dignified and solemn.

Zhu Zhanji continued: "Open the sea! ”

"Together with the commercial tax reform, there is also the policy of opening the sea, but the policy of opening the sea has not been implemented, so we must promote it!"

Regarding the pros and cons of opening the sea, it has long been discussed within the Hanlin Academy.

Moreover, after the Taisun and Xu Lao fought the law, they had also heard the benefits of opening the sea.

Therefore, when they heard the word Kaihai at this time, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the three great Confucians.

"After Mr. Xu left, after Master Yu left, the Hanlin Academy seemed to lose its vitality and fell silent."

"We've forgotten all about opening the sea."

"It's really a will to consume people's hearts, this is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, since the grandson mentioned it today, we will definitely go all out!"

The three great Confucians, with solemn eyes and solemn expressions, did not mean to joke at all.
