"Zong Zhen, these are all persuasion letters, and they were somehow sent to the Political Division."

Liu Anfeng, the political envoy of Jiangnan Zuobu, personally sent a bunch of persuasion letters.

There are not only the letters written by the officials of the Jiangnan provinces, but also a large number of letters from the scholars of the Nanjing Restoration Society. did not directly persuade Jin to ascend the throne, but asked Zhao Han to establish himself as the king, and said that the name was not right.

Zhao Han casually opened a few letters, the contents were almost the same, and he felt that he could be the king if he won Nanjing.

For Zhao Han, it doesn't matter if he is called the king sooner or later, but he must take into account the thoughts of the officials and soldiers under his rule. There were too many people who wrote persuasion letters, Liu An had a bumper harvest, and Zhao Han himself received dozens of letters.

The main question now is, what should be the king's name?

Zhao Han called his secretary group, Huang Zongxi had returned, and he also brought fellow villager Zhu Shunshui.

In addition, there is Wang Fuzhi from Hunan.

The three brothers Wang Jiezhi, Wang Shenzhi, and Wang Fuzhi, as outstanding scholars in Hunan, were sent by Jiangxi sailors with warships.

In addition to them, there are also Kuang Pengsheng, Guo Fengqi, Xia Rubi, Guan Siqiu and others.

Zhao Han personally took the test and felt a little regretful.

At this time, Wang Fuzhi did not have any profound thoughts, but he was quite famous in Hunan.

But it's already very powerful, a talent from a well-off family, but the old man is the richest man in Hengyang, how can he not have some real talent?

These Hunan scholars were all thrown to Jiangnan to assist in the division of fields, and only Wang Fuzhi stayed as a secretary.

Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Wang Fuzhi, the three major thinkers in the late Ming Dynasty, are now all recruited to Zhao Han's command.

"Many people have been persuaded to become kings, but what should be used for this 'king's name'? Feel free to say it, don't be afraid to say it wrong, just refer to your opinions. Zhao Han said with a smile.

Tao Aizhi arched his hand and said: "The general town starts from Ji'an Luling, which was called Jizhou in ancient times, and can be the 'King of Ji'." ”

Zheng Sen immediately objected: "If the country is founded in the future, will the name of the country be 'Daji'?" ”

"It's better to be called 'King of Gan'." Li Yu said.

Zheng Sen scolded back again: "The national name 'Dagan' sounds good? ”

Li Yu said unhappily: "It's not good, that's not good, you can take one!" ”

Zheng Sen was immediately blinded.

Huang Zongxi said: "Since the town has seized Jiangzuo, it can be called 'King Wu' as the capital of Nanjing. As for the name of the country, it can be discussed in the future. Ming Taizu was also called King Wu first, and then changed the name of the country to Daming. ”

"Where's Brother Chuyu?" Zhao Han looked at Zhu Shunshui.

Zhu Shunshui is an old friend of Zhao Han, and the two have a good relationship in Hanzhu Academy in Lead Mountain.

Over the years, Zhu Shunshui was completely disappointed in Daming, and refused Chongzhen's recruitment twice. Now that Zhao Han occupies Zhejiang, he sent Huang Zongxi to invite, and Zhu Shunshui immediately came to Nanjing to take refuge.

Zhu Shunshui asked: "The head town seems to have said that he was a northerner?" ”

Zhao Han replied: "Beizhi, Bazhou." ”

Zheng Sen wanted to say that it was better to be called "overlord", but he finally held back.

Zhu Shunshui said: "Bazhou was a swallow land in ancient times, and it can be called 'Yan King'. ”

These are just references, and the convention of being called king and emperor is said, as for which one to choose, it is still up to Zhao Han to decide.

From the pre-Qin to the Song Dynasty, this rule was followed, and there was only one word for the country and the king.

After the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, they had to break the rules. Because their Longxing land did not have an ancient name, and they did not hold important positions under the rule of the Song and Jin dynasties, then the country name could only be made up by themselves temporarily.

As a result, in Chinese history, the first two-character country name appeared: Dayuan.

Taken from the Book of Changes: "The great Qianyuan, the beginning of all materials, is the unification of the sky." ”

Dayuan, Daming, and Daqing are all two-character country names.

Song is Song, a single word.

Da Ming is Da Ming, double word.

The Ming Dynasty is just an abbreviation, the full name should be called the Ming Dynasty, and the official writing is the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Fuzhi suddenly said: "In the future, when the country is founded, the name of the country can be 'Yamato'." ”

Zhao Han finally couldn't hold back, and the country name "Yamato" made his expression extremely exciting.

Wang Fuzhi explained: "Dazai Qianyuan, the beginning of ten thousand materials, is the domination of the sky. The origin of this great yuan. The Ming Dynasty has always been, and the six times are completed, and the six dragons are taken to the sky. The origin of this Ming Dynasty. Baohe Yamato, Nai Lizhen. The first out of the house, Xianning of all countries. Looking for the old example of the two dynasties, the new dynasty can be 'Yamato'. ”

These three sentences are all from the Book of Changes.

If the country name is Yamato, it will be in the same vein as Dayuan and Daming.

It's just that in Zhao Han's ears, he feels awkward, which reminds him of the island country in the east.

Seeing that Zhao Han didn't seem to like Dahe, Wang Fuzhi said again: "It's better to call it Datong, which has the meaning of Datong in the world and the meaning of protecting Dahe." ”

"No," Zheng Eryang immediately retorted, "If the country name is Datong, it will collide with Shanxi Datong, how can the country name be the same as the place name?" Even if you bump into the name, you should also bump into the single-word place names such as Yan, Zhao, Gan, and Ji. ”

Everyone argued for no reason, and Zhao Han was not in a hurry, but said with a smile: "Think slowly in the future, and don't be in a hurry." ”

Retreat from the crowd.

Zhao Han left Zheng Sen alone: "Ming Yan, I'll give you a task." ”

"Commander, please command." Zheng Sen hugged his fists.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Go to Fujian and ask your father to borrow a batch of boats." These ships can sail directly to Zhenjiang to buy goods without any customs duties, but they must be shipped to North Korea for sale. By the way, help me transport some troops to Jeju Island in North Korea. ”

Zheng Sen was a little confused: "Where is Jeju Island?" ”

Zhao Han took out the chart, pointed to Jeju Island and said: "This island was originally called Tamna, but now it has been renamed Jeju by North Korea. ”

"The head town wants to take this island?" Zheng Sen still couldn't understand why Zhao Han wanted to build an enclave.

"This island can raise war horses." Zhao Han explained.

Zheng Sen finally understood, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, the head town promises to take this island." ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "The fleet will go to North Korea for trade first, and by the way, inquire about the situation on Jeju Island, and then consider whether to attack as appropriate when returning." If Jeju has a strong army, then directly transport the troops back, and I can only send 1,000 soldiers this time. ”

"Yes!" Zheng Sen gave up.

Jiangnan and Zhejiang are on the right track, and it is time for Zhao Han to return to Jiangxi.

The big landlords couldn't jump up at all.

Divide the land, reduce taxes, cancel the additional distribution, and all the people will be attached, and the gentry and gentry will not even be able to recruit the villagers.

Since they can't resist, they can only cooperate, because it is beneficial for them to cooperate with the division of fields.

Large landlords can take advantage of their financial resources and connections to purchase cotton grown by farmers. Some of the landlords were also industrial and commercial owners, and they used cotton to spin a lot, and in the future, they specialized in industry and commerce for a living.

Cotton, cotton, all need social stability.

Under the heavy endowment and additional assignment of the Ming court, there were droughts one after another, and many cotton fields in the south of the Yangtze River were abandoned, and the big landlords and big businessmen had already suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, high-quality cotton is mostly produced in Shandong. Last year, the Tatars ravaged Shandong, followed by drought and military disasters, Shandong's cotton output this year plummeted, and the owners of textile factories in Jiangnan suffered heavy losses.

They hope that Jiangnan can be stable and produce more cotton.

I also hope that Zhao Han will quickly take Shandong, so that he can buy a large number of high-quality and cheap cotton from Shandong.

At the same time, Zhao Han ordered the opening of a port in Shanghai, which also made Jiangnan businessmen very excited. In the future, all kinds of goods from Jiangnan can be shipped directly to North Korea and Japan from Shanghai, and there is no need to quietly smuggle them around the south.

Zhao Han took a boat to Jiangxi, and the Eastern Yuan Army stayed behind to continue to exterminate the remnants, with the main goal of clearing out bandits.

Half of the army was transferred back to Jiangxi, and the remaining half of the troops were used to exterminate the bandits in the mountains in southwest Zhejiang.

Zheng Sen took a boat from Zhejiang to Fujian, where he soon met his father.

"I heard that Jiangnan was taken?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

Zheng Sen said with a smile: "The soldiers of the headquarters town have passed, and the officers and soldiers from all over the country have descended from the wind. Today, in addition to Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, the south of the Yangtze River has been owned by the town! ”

Zheng Zhilong sighed: "This is to sit in the world, faster than I thought." ”

"Father, the child has something to ask for this time." Zheng Sen said.

Zheng Zhilong said: "Let's talk about it." ”

Zheng Sen explained the mission in detail.

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said: "This transaction is not a loss, the Fujian merchant goods are sold in Zhenjiang, and then the goods are imported from Zhenjiang to North Korea for sale, and the exchange is bound to be profitable without tariffs, and you can also buy copper and medicinal materials in North Korea when you return to the ship." ”

Zheng Sen suggested: "Father, the headquarters town should build a harbor and a city ship division in Shanghai, and the navy in Shanghai must also be built, so it is better for father to send a few warships to the headquarters." ”

"You can't send it," Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said, "It's okay to sell it to Shanghai at a low price, it's taboo to send the battleship directly, I don't want to be Shen Wansan." ”

Zheng Zhilong threw six warships to his son, which were led by the general Hong Xu.

Ten merchant ships were also sent to transport goods from Fujian to Zhenjiang. After it was sold, it loaded the goods and the Datong soldiers, and went straight to North Korea.

The 1,000 soldiers on the expedition to Jeju Island were led by Hu Dinggui.

Last time, Fei Ruhe built a new Eastern Courtyard Army, and Hu Dinggui was transferred over, and by the way, he was promoted and raised. This kid is also married, and his wife is a famous prostitute Pan Saisai, who is remembered by Datong writer Wu Bingnian.

Hu Dinggui has been proficient in water since he was a child, and after joining the army, he often took boats, but ......

"Gross!"

The stomach turned over and vomited.

Hu Dinggui's legs weakened and said, "How is this sea ship different from sitting down?" ”

Zheng Sen said with a smile: "The sea is rough, naturally different from the river, and I will get used to it in two days." ”

In the last years of Chongzhen, North Korea and Japan were in a state of seclusion, and the two countries did not sail with each other.

But they all opened their ports to Chinese private maritime merchants.

Sino-North Korean trade, mainly the Shandong-North Korea route.

Sino-Japanese trade, mainly the Fujian-Japan route.

Europeans were not allowed to do business, especially after Japan closed the country, and demolished all the churches of the Portuguese and Dutch.

North Korea is even more interesting, the king has a "foreign legion", which is only a few hundred people. The commander was a naturalized white man, and the soldiers were Liaodong Han people and Japanese ronin, and this was still a firearms unit.

Hu Dinggui vomited for two days and arrived at the North Korean port in a few days.

This fleet of unknown origin scared the North Koreans enough, because Zheng Zhilong hardly did Sino-North Korean trade.
