After the dispersal of the dynasty, it was already noon, and Song Xuan summoned Tang He in the imperial study.

Tang and this person, in terms of military ability, is not as good as Xu Da, Lan Yu and others, but this person is steady, never does things that are not sure, in short, this person gives people a sense of reliability in life and work.

In the imperial study, Song Xuan ordered the eunuchs to prepare some food, and then the two of them chatted while eating.

"I called Aiqing today, mainly because I want to talk to you about something."

"Your Majesty, please say, but whatever Your Majesty orders, the minister will not dare to refuse." Tang He was a little restrained, and he didn't finish a bowl of rice for a long time.

"Don't be nervous!"

Song Xuan smiled: "I wonder what you think of the ocean?" ”

"Ocean?"

Tang He was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty wants to open the sea?" ”

Song Xuanzhen said: "Since the fall of the Yuan Court, the ocean has been deserted, but in my eyes, it is a continuous cornucopia, and naturally I can't let it go." ”

In the future, it is the Age of Discovery, and Song Xuan wants to build the great empire of the Wu Dynasty into the first to become the overlord of the ocean.

Tang He was also sincere, and after learning that His Majesty the Emperor intended to open the sea, he immediately got up and said, "I don't know what Weichen can do for His Majesty?" ”

Song Xuan didn't speak, but finished the rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's very simple, I want to build an imperial shipyard in the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, and build the first navy of the Wu Dynasty."

And you, in the future, will be the first commander of my Wu Dynasty Navy, are you willing to take this burden? ”

Tang He's lips trembled slightly, "Your Majesty, the minister is not very brilliant among the military attaches of the Wu Dynasty, and the minister is afraid that he will not be able to shoulder such an important responsibility as the commander of the navy and embarrass His Majesty." ”

Song Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you talk about land warfare, you are naturally a little behind Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, but when it comes to naval warfare, I think you are more talented."

Besides, supervising the construction of sea ships and building a naval division requires people with a calm heart and can endure loneliness, and in this regard, you have an advantage over them.

You do things, I am more assured! ”

This was said with a lot of joy and joy, and he had always felt that his position was a little embarrassing.

The brothers who came out of Fengyang at the beginning had the least credit for him, and his ability to fight was also the weakest, but at this moment, he realized that in His Majesty's heart, he was so important, and even more reassuring His Majesty by doing things than Xu Da.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, minister, swear to the death to create an invincible ocean division for Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Tang He was about to kneel again, Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't kneel and bow at every turn, I look at it as an eyesore." Over the next few years, there are a few things you need to focus on! ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

"First of all, supervising the construction of sea ships and training the navy, must be done as a matter of first priority. If you need anything, you can directly hand over the note to Li Shanchang and ask him to find a way to reconcile.

If you can't reconcile, you come directly to me, and I will support you! ”

As he spoke, he said with deep meaning: "You are a smart person, and you should also know that opening the sea will inevitably affect the interests of many gentry in Jiangnan, and all kinds of overt and secret troubles will roll up on you."

Are you afraid? ”

Tang He laughed and said: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the ministers, how ferocious the Mongolian Tartars were back then, the ministers were not afraid of life and death and dared to join the rebel army, and now they are in a high position, and with the support of Your Majesty, what else is there to be afraid of?" ”

Song Xuan was relieved: "Don't worry, I won't let you fight alone."

The pressure from the officialdom on the surface, I will suppress it for you, as for the trouble in the secret......"

Speaking of this, Song Xuan's voice turned cold, and said: "I will allocate 10,000 Tsing Yi guards to you, and you will have full authority to dispatch them.

In this world, I took it too quickly, and the Jiangnan gentry did not clean up enough. Holding the Tsing Yi Guard, you should clean the clean, the extermination of the race, you can grasp the proportions yourself! ”

Tang He subconsciously shuddered, and said that His Majesty was kind and kind, but that was only when His Majesty did not have the intention to kill.

You must know that His Majesty started his family back then, but it started with the wanton killing of the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At this moment, Song Xuan handed a pair of charts to Tang He.

"This chart was obtained by Tsing Yi Wei from many people who went to sea for several years, although it is not complete, but the general outline is available.

After the formation of the follow-up navy, you set out from the East China Sea, all the way to the coast and south, and visit all the countries in the South China Sea.

Although those small countries cannot be compared with China, there are many things that we need. ”

As he spoke, Song Xuan pointed to the Wa Kingdom on the map and said, "Although this Wa State is a small country, they have frequent volcanic eruptions there, rich in sulfur, gold, silver, etc., all of which are the raw materials that our Wu Dynasty needs.

Here's another example....."

Song Xuan pointed to the small countries in Southeast Asia and said, "They have some crops there that are extremely easy to grow, and they can even be grown in arid lands, and the yield is extremely high.

If it can be planted in a large area in our Wu Dynasty, the situation of people starving to death and freezing to death in the past few years will be greatly reduced, or even completely eliminated! ”

Crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes must be introduced by Song Xuan.

In later generations, the so-called Kangqian prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty actually exploited the people far more than the Ming Dynasty, but the rebellion of the common people was not high, the main reason was the introduction of these high-yield crops, so that although the people did not dare to say that they could eat enough, at least they would not starve to death.

As for the Chinese people, as long as they do not starve to death, they can continue to endure it, and no one wants to risk the death of the whole family to do the work of rebellion.

......

In the afternoon, when Tang He left with the holy decree of forming a navy, his face was full of enthusiasm and excitement, and there was even a look of determination that was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"The First Evolution"

His Majesty really attaches too much importance to him, especially the future maritime strategy described by His Majesty, which is simply related to the final life and death direction of the Wu Dynasty.

Your Majesty has entrusted such a heavy responsibility to him, and he can only live up to the king's grace if he protects the future of the ocean for His Majesty!

After drawing a sea cake for Tang He that took a lifetime of struggle to complete, Song Xuan stretched his waist, enjoying the soft afternoon sunshine, and couldn't help but think of the three girls in the harem again.

After holding back for so many years, he can finally let go of Song Xuan, who is no longer restrained, and it is the time to eat the marrow and know the taste and enjoy it.

When he got up in the morning, he was still feeling that his waist couldn't support him, but after relieving himself at this moment, his heart couldn't help but start itching again.

Just as he was thinking about which sister Lin Xing had, a eunuch came in outside the imperial study to spread the word, and a person that Song Xuan had to see was about to arrive at the door.

Song Xuan got up, and saw the door being pushed open, and Song Yuanqiao, a gentle and elegant father, walked in.
