Your Majesty, something is wrong! ”

"What's the alarm?"

Shang Shu ordered Cui Hao to hurriedly enter the Evergreen Palace, looked at Ran Min, who was dealing with government affairs, and said: "The song that the minister just got was played by Geng Ji, the protector of the Yidao Metropolitan Protectorate. In his recital, he spoke of the Tokugawa Rebellion. Geng Ji led his army to defeat the rebels at Hiraharatsu, but Tokugawa Noshinobu fled into Namba Castle with the remnants, and slaughtered all the people from the Japanese royal family, including the Wa King Owren, and even the ministers were not spared! ”

"And the rebels took advantage of the chaos to slaughter Namba City. All 50,000 people of Namba are dead! ”

"What?!"

Ran Min was also shocked by this incident.

After a long while, Ran Min came back to his senses. This thing is too weird, and it is a slot before and after, Geng Ji must not report it.

"How's it going?"

Geng Ji had already led his army to capture and kill Tokugawa Noshin and put down the rebellion. But he felt guilty that he couldn't save Namba City in time, so he asked His Majesty for his guilt! ”

Hearing this, Ran Min couldn't help but gasp, this Geng Ji is really ruthless enough, not to mention killing all the royal family of the Wa Kingdom in one go, all the 50,000 people in Namba are dead. Who did this?

Ran Min knows it with her ass.

"That's right. Your Majesty, Geng Ji also implored the imperial court to send more troops to suppress rebellions in various parts of the Wa Kingdom. He said that at present, there is no owner of the Wa Kingdom, and there is no successor, and the tribes in various places are fighting one after another, and it is impossible to suppress it by relying on the strength of the servant army, and completely eliminate the rebellious forces of the Wa State. ”

Ran Min pondered in his heart for a moment and said, "I guess that Wang Ping and Ran Ke's 50,000 land and water army is about to land on Wa Island, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Let Wang Ping and Ran Ke be responsible for suppressing the rebellion of the Wa Kingdom. Geng Ji, who was unable to effectively manage the affairs of the Yidao Metropolitan Protectorate, ordered him to return to China and assumed the post of General Zuo Wuwei. This errand of protecting the capital of Yidao will be taken over by Wang Ping for the time being. ”

After saying this, Ran Min paused again, and then asked: "Cui Hao, this royal family has really been killed from top to bottom, and there is no successor?" ”

"This ...... Geng Ji said so in the song. If there is a successor to the Wa Kingdom, I believe that the various tribes of the Wa Kingdom will not rebel one after another and attack each other. ”

These are all Geng Ji's words!

Ran Min did not expose Geng Ji's lies, and said lightly: "If this is the case, where will the Japanese Kingdom go in the future?" Is it to find a random leader of the Wa tribe and support him to become the Wa King and continue to rule the Wa Kingdom, or directly put the Wa land as a state and county and include it in the territory of the empire? ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, with all due respect. ”

Cui Hao sighed and said: "Whether it is to support others to be the king of the Japanese, or to abolish the Japanese kingdom and set up prefectures and counties, it is worth the loss for the empire." All the original royal children of the Wa Kingdom are dead, and if you support others to be the Wa kings, I'm afraid that other Wa tribes will not be convinced, and my Great Wei spent so much money, food, soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion, can't you end up cheapening others, right? ”

"As for the abolition of the Japanese state, it will be governed by the state and county. This is in line with the interests of my Great Wei, but in a hurry, it is impossible for the Japanese people to accept the governance of the empire, so that the rebellions of the Japanese will rise one after another, and when the time comes, it will be out of control, and it is estimated that my Great Wei will not know how much money, food, and people will be consumed in the Japanese land. ”

"Cui Hao, if you have any countermeasures, you might as well say it directly."

Cui Hao lowered his hand and said: "The empire and the Wa have a relationship of marriage, and the second concubine of the grass and the two concubines of Kaguya Ji was once the princess of the Wa Kingdom and the daughter of the big wren. Speaking of which, His Majesty, as the son-in-law of the Great Wren, can serve as the Wa King when there is no successor to the Wa Kingdom, or Kusaka Ha Sohime and Kaguya Hime can also rule the Wa Kingdom as the queen of the Wa Kingdom. Whether His Majesty is also the king of the Japanese king, or either of the two concubines of Kusakahata Sohime and Kaguya Ji is the queen of the Japanese kingdom, it can make the Japanese people happy and convinced, and it can also make the empire govern the Japanese land more effectively! ”

Ran Min stroked his black thick beard, nodded and said, "That's a good idea." I can concurrently serve as the king of the Japanese, and with my honor, I can also serve as the king of a small country, I believe that the Japanese people on the island will not dare to give birth to any gossip, right? ”

Ran Min originally wanted to push out the sub-sealing system, but the situation did not allow it. Not to mention whether the Japanese can accept a foreign prince as their king and get out the feudal system, it is estimated that most of the ministers will jump out against it.

……

"Woo woo woo-" The loud and solemn sound of the horn sounded, and the aftermath lingered for a long time.

At the Zhanghe ferry outside the city of Daliang, at this moment, there are crowds of people, gongs and drums are noisy, and thousands of people are watching the excitement there, so that many soldiers have set up a cordon, and are firmly responsible for maintaining order, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, for fear that something will happen.

At this moment, Ran Min led hundreds of civil and military officials to the ferry to meet the specifications of the triumphant division and welcome the sea athletes returning from the eastward crossing.

Two years ago, Wang Ling led a crew of 24,000 and took 351 seagoing ships to set off from Langyatai, and only now did he return to Daliang safely.

However, Ran Min had already made a will, and a year later, no matter whether Wang Ling had discovered the New World or not, whether he had found the three crops of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, they would all have to return to the sea.

Ran Min's mood is very complicated, sometimes excited, sometimes empty, and suffering from gains and losses.

Wang Ling's fleet finally appeared, but there were only twenty-five dilapidated and dilapidated sea ships!

Ran Min's heart chuckled, could it be that they had some accident at sea?

When Wang Ling stepped off the boat, Ran Min personally greeted him.

"Minister Wang Ling, knock to see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

As soon as he saw Ran Min put on this posture to greet him, Wang Ling was so grateful that he cried bitterly, and knelt down directly for Ran Min.

Ran Min helped Wang Ling up and sighed, "Wang Ling, you have worked hard. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is not hard. It is the honor of the minister to be able to open up overseas for His Majesty, to open up overseas for the empire, and to open up overseas for China. ”

Ran Min bowed slightly: "What have you gained from crossing the sea this time?" Why did the fleet that sailed with you come back with so many people? ”

When Wang Ling heard this, he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the fleet has encountered tsunamis, hurricanes, storms, and sea beasts at sea, all of which have damaged a lot of people and ships. He also fought against the natives on the New World, and some soldiers died. The reason why only so many people came back was because the minister ordered some soldiers to temporarily settle down on the New World and build a port and a lighthouse in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions. ”

"Oh? Have you really discovered the New World? Ran Min was suddenly overjoyed.

"Yes. And the new continent discovered by the minister is not one, but two! Just as Your Majesty said to your minister two years ago, to the east of the sea, there is a new continent called Australia, and a continent called the Americas! The minister's fleet has arrived there! ”

Ran Min was suddenly overjoyed, grabbed Wang Ling's hand and said, "Did you bring back all the corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes?" ”

"Yes. The minister also brought back the seeds of these three crops, and cultivated some of them himself! ”

Wang Ling then asked people to carry down one basket after another, and what was placed on the basket was indeed corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes!

Ran Min grabbed a corn cob and said with a smile: "Great! Now my Great Wei will no longer have to worry about disasters and famines! ”

Ran Min himself knows very well that the importance of these three crops is self-evident.

In ancient times, it was actually very simple, that is, everyone could fill their stomachs and not starve to death!

The so-called "prosperous era of Kangqian" in later generations was nothing more than the boasting of the Qing court's imperial literati and the Manchu Qing relics. The 12 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the people's struggle against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty has never stopped, why can't the rule of the Qing Dynasty be overthrown?

It's nothing more than that many people haven't starved to death, and they can still eat!

And the key role played in this is the introduction of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, which can be eaten and easy to grow.

So Ran Min immediately decided to find a few villages near Daliang to experiment, if the effect is very good, he will directly implement the three crops of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes all over the country.

Ran Min rewarded Wang Ling and the others again, and began to prepare for the second eastward crossing of the sea.
