Chapter 203: I wasn't an emperor before, so my words don't count

After Liu Jun left, it was Huang Fu of the Ministry of Industry who came in.

Huang Fu is very talented, is a practical talent, in the Jianwen Dynasty, for the Ministry of Works, but also by the Jianwen Emperor respect, but this guy is very good at the wind rudder, Yan Wang entered Beijing, immediately took the initiative to join.

Zhu Di originally included him in the list of traitors, but this gang was thick-skinned and said, I was listed as a traitor and I was not convinced.

Zhu Di was reluctant to kill him in the end, after all, he still had some ability.

After Huang Fu came in, he knelt down and shouted long live, and only after getting Zhu Di's approval did he get up cautiously.

This attitude is much stronger than Liu Jun's, and Zhu Di is secretly refreshed when he sees it.

After Zhu Di waited for him to get up, he suddenly asked: "I am facing the current ship, the largest geometry, can I go to sea?" ”

Huang Fu was asked by Zhu Di, and if this was to be replaced by someone else, most of them were immediately asked.

But Huang Fu is a doer, and he is indeed a talented person, so he immediately said: "The ships of my dynasty are now flat-bottomed, mainly sand boats, fortune ships, and Guangzhou ships, and the largest warship of the current naval division is eighteen zhang long, and the largest merchant ship can reach twenty-two zhang." ”

"Big ships can go to sea--"

Zhu Di asked where the largest shipyard in China is now.

Huang Fudao: "Qingjiangdu Shipyard." ”

The Qingjiangdu Shipyard was located along the canal between Yangshan (present-day Huai'an District) and Qinghe (present-day Huaiyin District) in Huai'an Prefecture. Because of its proximity to Huai'an water, it is named after the Qingjiang River. Qingjiangdu Shipyard is responsible for manufacturing inland river tankers in Nanjing, Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other southern regions.

Qingjiang Ferry Yard is composed of four factories, Jingwei, Weihe, Zhongdu and Zhili, with a total of 80 branches and a total length of 23 miles along the canal, which can be described as the world's largest shipyard at that time.

Even after a hundred years of the Yongli forbidden sea, from the third year of Hongzhi to the twenty-third year of Jiajing (1490-1544), the actual number of ships at the Qingjian Ferry Yard was generally stable, with an average of 500 ships per year.

This amount is probably not achievable for many shipyards now.

Zhu Di asked again, can the ship be built bigger?

Huang Fu said yes, but how big it can be built depends on the shipwright.

Zhu Di looked at Hou Xian at this time: "Xuan Zhenghe." ”

Hou Xian went out for a while, and Zheng He came to the palace.

Zheng He looked a lot haggard, just because in the last month or two, Zheng He, under the instruction of Zhu Di, was conducting research on important matters.

He knocked on the emperor first, and after waiting for him, Zhu Di asked: "Zheng He, tell me your opinion, in the past two months, you have also spent a lot of thought." ”

Huang Fu didn't know why, so he could only listen quietly.

Zheng He said: "If you come to the slave maid, you need to build a larger shipyard in two or three places. ”

Zheng He's meaning, first, is to expand the Longjiang shipyard, and second, to build a new shipyard in Changle, Fujian.

At this time, Zhu Di had already begun preparations for Zheng He's trip to the West three years later, of course, it would be possible that his mind was not on going to the West, he might just want Emperor Jianwen to escape by sea, so he wanted to build a ship to find Emperor Jianwen.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he thought about shipbuilding, and apart from missing Emperor Jianwen, there was nothing that made him pay so much attention.

After researching and discussing with Zheng He and Huang Fu, as in the original history, Zheng He's opinion was adopted to expand the Longjiang Shipyard and build the Changle Shipyard.

Among them, the Longjiang Shipyard was expanded to the south from the original site, crossed the Qinhuai River, and went directly to Xiabao, Zhongbao, Baobao Village and the Sanchao River area.

"Longjiang Shipyard Chronicles" recorded: "Hongwu and Yongle, from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Fujian, Nanzhili (now Jiangsu) Binjiang County residents more than 400 households, to Beijing (i.e. Nanjing) shipbuilding, subordinate to the lifting division, organized into four compartments. a wooden shuttle and a rope maker; two-box boat wood and iron cableman; sedan out of the craftsman; Four-box out of the brown canopy. ”

Because it was going to sea, another place for the construction of Zheng He's treasure ship was Changle, Fujian, the port of departure of the fleet.

According to the "Changle County Chronicle", "Taiping Port is in the west half of the county, and its old name is Majiang. …… During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Zheng He passed through the Western Ocean, built a huge ship here, and changed Taiping Port. ”

In September of the 35th year of Hongwu, the state apparatus of the Ming Empire began to operate vigorously, and Zhu Di transferred craftsmen and resources from all over the country to build a shipyard and prepare to go to sea.

Zhu Gaoxu stood outside the hall, watching the civil and military officers who were waiting for the Hou to summon him go in one by one and come out one by one.

He was ranked last, so every time I saw someone come out, I felt a little embarrassed.

As a prince, shouldn't he be the first?

After the last Zhang Fu came out, Wang Jinghong in front of him shouted with a smile: "King Gaoyang, it's your turn." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled at him and strode in.

As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw Zhu Di looking at the huge map of the Ming Dynasty with his hands behind his back.

The map is a bit rudimentary, but at least the various political secretaries and most of the mountains, rivers and seas are still drawn.

The Ming Dynasty was also reflected in the general dynastic state around it.

"Gao Xu, come here." Zhu Di exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Father." Zhu Gaoxu also shouted in a good voice.

Then both father and son looked at the map.

Zhu Di didn't say anything, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what to say, so the two of them looked at the map blankly.

After a long time, Zhu Di sighed: "This splendid country, look at it, outside of my Ming Dynasty, there are so many places, I heard that overseas, there are countless national dynasties, it is really fascinatingβ€”β€”"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "I will be the lord of the Central Plains tomorrow, and all overseas countries will come to pay tribute to my father's demeanor in the future." ”

Zhu Di said again: "In the past, I just wanted to enter the Beijing Division as soon as possible, but now I really sit in this position, and I find that the world is so big that it is incredible, and I am eager for the great achievements of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhu Gaoxu remained silent, silently guessing the meaning of Zhu Di's words.

At this moment, Zhu Di's face suddenly turned straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Gao Xu, I want to crown you as the king of Han and let you go to Yunnan." ”

brushed, Zhu Gaoxu's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes became incredible.

Zhu Di didn't seem to see his expression, and continued: "Zhu Yunwen disappeared suddenly, and I really don't feel at ease if I don't find Zhu Yunwen." ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚β€ Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Di's teleportation kung fu is very powerful, the last sentence is still talking about Zhu Gaoxu, and the next sentence suddenly becomes Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Di continued: "I received news that Zhu Yunwen may have fled to the southwest, either to the sea or to Yunnan.

In Yunnan, the Mu family has been in business for many years, and Mu Sheng has more than 100,000 troops in the local area.

In this battle of Jingyan, Mu Sheng successively sent two Yunnan soldiers to the southern army, the number of which was just over 10,000, and I thought that I could not pursue him. ”

Mu Sheng was not strong in supporting the imperial court in the Jingjing, and successively sent two troops of Yunnan Guard's soldiers and horses, adding up to more than 10,000 just now.

And after Zhu Di entered Beijing, Mu Sheng also quickly submitted a letter to express his surrender.

So Zhu Di thought about it, and he didn't plan to get along with Mu Sheng, of course, the main reason was that it was not easy to fight in Yunnan, and there were still a lot of toasts, and when Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Yunnan, he knew why Zhu Di was reluctant to work with Mu Sheng.

"But." Zhu Di said again: "Mu Sheng's father Mu Ying had a good relationship with my eldest brother back then, my eldest brother died, Mu Ying is said to have died of sadness and anger, it can be seen that the relationship is deep, Mu Sheng was in Beijing when he was a child, and he played with Zhu Yunwen since he was a child, Gao Xu, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Zhu Di's meaning was to send Zhu Gaoxu over to secretly investigate Zhu Yunwen in the name of being a vassal domain.

In this matter, he doesn't worry about others, only his son Zhu Gaoxu.

"Gao Xu, don't worry, you will work in Yunnan first, and after a few years, Zhu Yunwen's affairs will be clarified, and I will let you come back, and then you can be wherever you want."

Zhu Gaoxu blushed and didn't say anything, even if Mu Sheng and Zhu Yunwen have a very strong relationship, why did Jing Nan only send two guards and horses to support, even if you don't plan to pursue Mu Sheng, why do you want to investigate secretly?

Zhu Di fooled him again and again, treating him as if he was a stupid son of a landlord.

He was very unwilling, how much credit did he make for Zhu Di in the entire Battle of Jingjing, and now it is like a urinal, thrown far away in the corner when it is used up?

Daming is so big, why can't it be sealed? It's still sealed to Yunnan?

Fortunately, he already knew Zhu Di's virtue, and Jing Nan had also arranged it early in the past few years, not only letting Yang Lishan run a business in the south, but also laying out in Yunnan in advance, and he was waiting for this moment.

But he definitely can't answer so easily, if he is too happy, Zhu Di may suddenly change his attention.

He blushed and said nothing, looking angry.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak, Zhu Di didn't say anything more, but the expression on his face was extremely cold, and it was an unquestionable look.

In other words, there is no negotiation, you have to go if you go, and you have to go if you don't go.

In the original history, Zhu Gaoxu was still grinding and grinding, making him petty, and Zhu Di also endured it for several years.

But this will be very different from the original history.

Zhu Gaochu is more brilliant than the original history, and has the support of many generals in the army, and Zhu Di has clearly felt the pressure brought to him by Zhu Gaoxu.

Of course he didn't want to be Li Yuan, so Zhu Gaoxu had to leave quickly.

The father and son were silent for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were full of tears, but Zhu Di had an unmoved look.

Zhu Gaoxu knew at this time that Zhu Di had already made up his mind to do this.

It's also very hard to pretend to be yourself, and the only thing I can do now is to benefit.

He thought about it calmly, pretended to be very reluctant, and then said: "Everything the son-in-law gave was given by the father, and the son-in-law naturally had to listen to the father's everything." ”

It's good that you understand, Zhu Di smiled quietly.

"Is it that Erchen will work for a few years and come back later?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Zhu Di said: "I am now the emperor, of course, Chrysostom Yuyan, Gao Xu rest assured, as long as you find out about Zhu Yunwen, you can go wherever you want." ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he really wanted to slap him on the spot.

Zhu Di's shameless saying this has two meanings, first, I was not an emperor before, so my words can not count.

Second, if you don't know about Zhu Yunwen, that's not good.

Zhu Gaoxu was almost laughed at angrily, Zhu Di's thickness of face is not comparable to ordinary people, people are invincible, Lao Tzu obeyed you.

He also obeyed Zhu Di, and could only say: "Erchen still wants to ask his father to ask for something." ”
