For Zhu Qizhen, Nanjing Escort Capital could have been banned a long time ago.

The officials here are all here to support the elderly, they take a full amount of money, drink tea every day, and do not do anything, even if they live such a leisurely life, they are not satisfied, and they plan a rebellion behind their backs!

I didn't like you in the first place, but now it's okay, hit the muzzle of the gun yourself!

The most important role of Nanjing's capital is that in the event of the fall of Beijing, a second set of imperial court teams can be quickly built here, in fact, this role has not been used from beginning to end.

There are only two possibilities in history to move the capital, the first time is when the Tumubao Change, many people suggested moving south, but Yu Qian rejected, and then Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu stood up and appointed Yu Qian as the commander-in-chief, winning the battle to defend Beijing.

Another time, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng hit Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen did want to move south, but he couldn't stand the disagreement of the Manchu officials.

In their words, the king died in Sheji, you can't go, if you want to die, you will die in Beijing, and as a result, you really died in Beijing......

Then there was the short-lived and wasteful Nanming regime, a group of pig-like vassal kings who grabbed the throne and struggled to support it for eighteen years.

In the past eighteen years, I still relied on the Qing army and Li Zicheng to pinch each other, and no one paid attention to Nanjing, which was picked up for nothing.

So, looking back now, Nanjing accompanied the capital and was lonely?

Since it is a waste of money and food, and there are still a large number of idlers, it is better to ban it directly.

In this rebellion, a large number of officials were arrested, especially during the investigation of smuggling along the southeast coast, and a large number of officials in Jiangnan were found to be implicated, and if this vacancy was filled, a large number of personnel would be consumed, so it would be better to directly abolish the Nanjing Imperial Court and send the remaining officials of the six departments in Nanjing to fill the local vacancies.

What's more, today's Ming soldiers are strong and strong, with a territory of thousands of miles, and they really want to be beaten down by someone to beat down the Beijing division, and they are the emperor...... It's just a matter of self-determination.

Also move the capital, move a fart!

Yu Qian didn't think about it so much, he just felt that the emperor's decision was too incredible, after all, it was the ancestors who made the law, how could it get into your hands, and you could change it?

Change the land, change the nationality, change the army, and change the imperial examination, and now even Nanjing says that it will be banned?

Don't you worry, Taizu Taizong came to you at night to talk about life?

Rao is an enlightened person like Yu Qian, and he can't help but shake his head and sigh.

Looking at the new policy plan in his hand, it can be seen that the emperor's original intention is good, and if it can be implemented smoothly, the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds.

However, if you are in too much of a hurry, you are afraid that it will backfire and eventually cause chaos......

Zhu Qizhen also knew in his heart that even if Yu Qian was talented, he would be limited by history, he had not experienced the changes of later generations, of course he didn't know how to make changes, what he had to do was to keep instilling these ideas in him, let him know that the new policy was imperative and urgent.

Moreover, in this matter, there is no room for negotiation.

Yu Qian saw Zhu Qizhen's resolute expression, so he had to agree and leave with the new policy.

At this moment, a tall middle-aged man came in from outside, and the two looked at each other, and the man clenched his fists.

"Lord Yu, don't come unharmed!"

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "General Shi, congratulations, congratulations!" ”

Shi Heng laughed and said: "Lord Yu is polite, Shi Mou can make meritorious contributions this time, all thanks to the emperor's grace, and the soldiers are united!" ”

Yu Qian nodded, and then left.

Shi Heng came to Zhu Qizhen, bowed and saluted, and shouted long live.

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "The Qing family is flat!" ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Shi Heng stood up, and he didn't ink, so he said bluntly: "The minister brought good news to the emperor, the three-headed Jiao Shenlang was caught!" ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't hide the excitement on his face, this three-headed Jiao has been a disaster for the Ming Dynasty for many years, and has always been a confidant of the imperial court.

Now, finally caught!

"Where did you catch it?"

Shi Heng replied: "Back to the emperor, it's in the city!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly became interested and asked, "Where is the city?" ”

Shi Heng smiled mysteriously and said, "Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, Wang Gongming's mansion!" ”

"Wang Gongming?"

Zhu Qizhen muttered to himself, this person has some impressions, he should be an old minister of the Yongle Dynasty, it stands to reason that he can retire after two years in Nanjing, and when he returns home, his children and grandchildren are full, and he lives comfortably, why do you want to collude with the Japanese Invaders?

Moreover, there is no Wang Gongming in the list of arrests this time.

In other words, if it weren't for Shi Heng to search Shen Lang out, he would have missed a big fish!

Being able to hide from Jinyiwei shows that this person's methods are still very clever.

"Tell me, how did you find out?"

"It's a coincidence that this matter is also coincidental, originally Jinyiwei had searched Lord Wang's house and found no clues, but the minister's eyeliner accidentally found that a member of the Wang family went to the pawnshop and actually took out a good East Pearl, only then did he realize the problem, so he secretly followed up and investigated, and finally found that Shen Lang was hiding in the Wang family!"

The East Pearl is a pearl from the East China Sea, which is huge and has a round luster, and is the best among pearls.

This thing can only be produced in the deep sea, which is very rare, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have it.

"Wang Gongming's family should not be short of money, why do you want to go to a pawnshop to sell Dongzhu?"

"The emperor doesn't know, it's all because this family is good at gambling and loses too much silver to the gambling house, so in desperation, he has to steal an East Pearl from his home and plan to sell it to pay off his debts!"

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but laugh, this guy hid so deeply, just because a little family member was good at gambling, he was exposed?

Is...... Creation makes people!

"Shen Lang doesn't need to say much, this person doesn't know how many of my Ming people he killed, since he was caught today, there is no need to interrogate, just choose a day, chop it, this time you must find a skilled worker, cut three thousand knives, don't be like the previous ones, only a thousand knives will die."

Shi Heng hugged his fists and said: "The minister will arrange it, and ensure that within three thousand knives, no one can die!" ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Okay, I have one more thing to tell you!" ”

Shi Heng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please speak!" ”

Zhu Qizhen first showed him a seat, then ordered someone to make tea, and then said, "I want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Shi Heng was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let the emperor arrange it!" ”

"Don't be nervous!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

"I am a good talker, this time I have made meritorious contributions and successfully destroyed the nest of the Japanese Invaders, the previous things are not to blame, I will talk to you about my future plans, you can just say it, what position do you want?"

Shi Heng smiled bitterly: "This battle is all up to the emperor's strategy, and the minister's little credit is really not enough to worry about, as for the official position...... The minister hopes to be a general soldier and guard the border for the emperor. ”

Zhu Qizhen continued: "The north has been pacified, from Beihaiwei, Duoyan Sanwei, to Mohewei, there are people to guard, Hamiwei has the town of Junguogong, Yunnan has the town of Qianguogong, I think about it, now only the southeast coastal area defense force is not enough, but I do not plan to send troops to guard it. ”

Shi Heng was puzzled, so he said: "Weichen dares to ask, does the emperor want to continue to implement the sea ban and give up overseas?" ”

"Of course not!"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "If the country wants to be rich and strong, it must not ignore the sea, wealth is taken from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea. This is the wise saying of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, and I have always kept it in my heart. ”

"Then the emperor ...... Why ......"

"I'm talking about not defending, because the defense is always too passive, why don't you take the initiative to attack?"

"Take the initiative?"

Shi Heng was even more puzzled, who was attacking?

To the east is the Wa Kingdom, to the south is Luzon and other countries, and to the south is Annam and other countries bordering the Ming Dynasty, who are you going to fight?

Zhu Qizhen ordered someone to take the map, pointed to the direction of Ningbo, and said: "The base camp of the Japanese is on Zhoushan Island, this is a good place, now I intend to build a navy, remember, it is a navy, not a guard, and the station is on Zhoushan Island!" ”

Shi Heng had been undercover in the Zhoushan Islands for more than half a year, and he was very familiar with the situation over there, so he nodded and said: "Zhoushan Island can be used as a springboard between the Ming Dynasty and the maritime countries, the terrain is very important, and the troops are stationed here, and the minister deeply agrees!" ”

"What I'm going to say next is something else!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly smiled and said, "Have you heard of the East India Company?" ”

"East India ...... Firm? ”

Shi Heng was confused and didn't know what to do.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly realized that in this era, the East India Company did not seem to have been established.

Because the Age of Discovery in the West has not yet come, or rather, it is still in the making.

If we don't seize the right to control the sea, and wait for others to develop strong ships and artillery, there will be no chance.

The East India Company is the most intuitive manifestation of these maritime supremacy, overseas expansion!

Around the beginning of the 16th century, 50 years later, Queen Elizabeth I of England granted the company a royal warrant, granting it privileges to trade in India.

To put it bluntly, this is a group of pirates under the banner of the government.

Their tasks are: expansion, plunder, colonization.

And the reason why the Kingdom of England granted them royal warrants was that if they plundered in the name of the royal family, they would have to hand over a part of the wealth they had obtained.

For the royal family of England, all you need to do is give a flag and you can sit back and enjoy it at home, so why not?

At the beginning of the establishment of the East India Company, it did live a lot of money, and then the Netherlands and other kingdoms began to follow suit and set up the East India Company one after another to get a piece of the pie.

Their approach was even more exaggerated, such as the Dutch East India Company, which was the first company to organize its own mercenaries and issue currency, and was the first company limited by shares, and was allowed to enter into formal treaties with other countries and exercise the power to colonize and rule the land.

In other words, this so-called company has actually become a regime.

Driven by profits, they will expand like crazy, go crazy to expand their routes, and build colonies.

This is what Zheng He said, if a country wants to be rich and strong, it cannot ignore the sea, wealth is taken from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty took into account various reasons, imposed a sea ban, and ignored Zheng He's warnings, so that the European powers developed.

How could Zhu Qizhen let go of such an opportunity, he must dare to hold the sea control in his hands before the group of pirates in Europe.

Even if I don't invade you, I can't let you invade me.

Of course, Shi Heng didn't know what the East India Company was, so he was confused by the emperor's question.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then explained: "I established a navy to expand shipping routes, protect the maritime trade of the imperial court or the people, and I plan to cultivate a private trading house in addition to this navy, which is temporarily called the Four Seas Trading Company, which can freely trade with other countries, and can train its own guards, and even, the imperial court allows it to make formal treaties with other countries in the name of the trading house, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the trading house cultivated overseas." ”

Shi Heng was stunned, such an idea was simply incredible.

Da Ming has always been extremely cautious about military power, not to mention a non-governmental organization, which goes to other countries and signs agreements with others, which is not ...... Rebellion?

Zhu Qizhen wants to make something big now, the great voyage of the West is coming, and there is not much time left for the Ming Dynasty, only by breaking the rules and breaking the world can he be invincible in the upcoming era of great navigation.

"I'm going to leave these things to you, how about it, do you have faith?"

Shi Heng thought about it, is this a rebellion by order?

Could it be that they are trying to kill me, but they can't find an excuse......

He glanced at Zhu Qizhen suspiciously, and said, "It's the first time the emperor has heard of these ideas, this ...... It's quite shocking, and besides, the minister is worried about the civil and military ...... of the Manchu Dynasty Will it be ......"

"You don't have to worry about others, I just ask you, do you have faith?"

Shi Heng nodded and said: "As long as it is ordered by the emperor, don't say anything about the business, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, the minister still dares to go!" ”

"Very good, this matter is decided for the time being, I will give you a detailed plan later, and now, I have a task for you."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Zhu Qizhen first asked, "How much do you know about the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"The words of the Wakoku ......"

Shi Heng thought for a while and said: "As far as the minister knows, many of the Japanese are from the Japanese country, claiming to be samurai under the daimyo, and the current power of the Japanese country seems to be not very stable, and there are many people fighting for power, so I roughly know so much." ”

"I only ask you, what is the relationship between the Japanese and the Japanese Kingdom?"

"The Japanese robbed their property and had to be brought back to the Japanese country to sell the stolen goods, that is to say, the flood of the Japanese was actually supported by the Japanese state, and they gained an unknown amount of benefits by smuggling and plundering the people at sea!"

"The envoys of the Wa Kingdom have repeatedly emphasized that the Wa Kou have nothing to do with the Wa State, what should I do?"

Shi Heng scratched his head and said, "Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open, this person should be arrested and punished for harboring the Japanese robbers!" ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Catch the thief and scratch the dirty, I have no evidence, how can I punish him?" ”
