Chapter 162: Why isn't King Qi crazy?
Zhu Di thought about it in his heart, and it was really as King Qi said!
The Yongle Dynasty went on an expedition, thinking that Zhu Di was pushing it alone, and everyone behind him was pulling his hind legs, as if they were afraid that the Ming Empire would be able to conquer the vast territory and win in foreign wars.
In fact, it is not the case, the small abacus in the hearts of the ministers crackled.
They are not stupid, they are all monkey spirits and monkey spirits who can sit in this position. What is the purpose of the war, Zhu Di is trying to defeat all foreign enemies and eradicate troubles for future generations, in fact, he really did it. The northern enemy, who had frequently harassed the Central Plains for hundreds of years, suppressed the threat to a minimum in the Yongle dynasty, and the Mongols were almost out of breath when they were beaten up.
But he never thought that after he killed the elite of the Mongols, it would not affect the defeat of the foreign student emperor in the future!
Seeing the immediate benefits, can the ministers be happy, unwilling to do this thankless task, and do everything possible to obstruct the dispatch of troops. But now Zhu Gaoxian's fruitful achievements in Jianzhou Province prove that the benefits of this system will not only not waste national strength, but will make Daming more and more prosperous!
Now and in the future, I want it all!
"Good, good, good!"
As soon as Zhu Di thought of this, his eyes became more and more fiery when he looked at King Qi, the more this old man looked at it, the more pleasing it became, he could govern the country, he could fight, and he was both civil and military!
It has to be me Zhu Di who will give birth to a son!
"Father, you can restrain yourself, I'm a little scared......" Zhu Gaoxian was a little uncomfortable stared at by the old man.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxian's eyes, as if he was a hungry and thirsty prostitute looking greedily at the Qinglou Oiran who was stripped naked!
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, patted the back of Zhu Gaoxian's head, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, even I dare to ridicule, I think you are really bold!" ”
"You little cub gave Lao Tzu a letter of approval, when do you plan to continue to send troops?" Zhu Di asked.
In his eyes, Korea and the Wa Kingdom are no longer independent countries, but fat meat on the board, lambs to be slaughtered, and fat mountains of gold and silver.
All of this was brought by King Qi, and Zhu Di's eyes looked at Zhu Gaoxian more and more hot.
Look, King Qi, this child, must have good looks, be knowledgeable, have brains, be heroic, and have no character......
Ahem, it looks like something got in, but it doesn't matter.
Zhu Gaoxian did not answer directly, but knocked on the side: "When will Zheng He return to China?" ”
"Zheng He?" Zhu Di frowned slightly, "Zheng He should return to China in the second half of this year, and it is estimated that it will only be a few months, why do you ask this?" ”
Zheng He, formerly known as "Ma Sanbao", at the beginning of the Jingjing, gave advice in the battle of Zhengba Village, helped Zhu Di break through Li Jinglong, the commander of the Southern Army, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and gave him the surname "Zheng". Therefore, Zheng He is also known as the "national surname".
Although he is a eunuch, Zheng He is resourceful, brave, and good at diplomacy, can lead the water division, is humble and loyal, and can be called the "hexagonal warrior" of the Ming Dynasty, the only drawback is the physical defect, and there is no other shortcoming, God of God!
This hexagonal warrior is still on the ocean with his fleet and has not yet returned home.
"Your Majesty, Korea and the Wa Kingdom are different from Jianzhou, and to fight these two countries, you have to have a sailor." Zhu Gaoxian smiled bitterly, "You can't let me bring out a new sailor, how much silver will it cost to build a fleet?" ”
It's easy to build a fleet, but if you want to build a fleet that destroys the country, even if the country is as strong as the Ming Dynasty, it's a bit unbearable.
Once the national strength is seriously consumed, it will inevitably cause a huge backlash, and neither Zhu Di nor Zhu Gaoxian is willing to see that kind of situation. What's more, if you want to build a fleet of the country destroying the country, how can you build it in a year and a half?
However, this does not mean that Daming's maritime strength is weak, on the contrary, Daming's maritime strength is unprecedentedly strong!
A rogue power in later generations also admitted: "The Chinese navy in the 15th century was undoubtedly the most powerful navy in the world at that time." Under the leadership of Zheng He, a major minister of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese navy went to the West seven times. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, a policy of outward development was enacted, hoping to protect trade routes and import luxury goods and raw materials for a growing China. At that time, the technology of the Chinese Navy was most likely the most advanced in the world, and its shipbuilding technology was 100 years ahead of Europe. ”
Zheng He's fleet. This is one of the most powerful sailors in the world today, there is no one!
With a length of more than 100 meters and a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, the Damingbao was the largest wooden sailing ship in the world at that time. The Columbus fleet, which appeared in the Atlantic Ocean only 87 years later, consisted of only three sailing ships, the largest of which was only 100 tons and only one percent of the tonnage of Zheng He's treasure ship.
With such a powerful sailor, why bother to rebuild the fleet at the expense of national strength?
"You want Zheng He's sailor?" Zhu Di's smile is intriguing.
Zhu Gaoxian didn't have to think about it to know that the old man's words were prickly, and explained: "Erchen didn't mean this, but it is undeniable that if there is a fleet led by Zheng He, it will be easy to take Korea and the Japanese Kingdom. ”
Zheng He's fleet, Zhu Gaoxian didn't think about getting involved at all.
This is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty on the sea, and if you want to hold Zheng He's fleet in your hands, it is no less than pinching the Twelve Guards in your hands, which is not at the same level as Jianzhou Province, and Zhu Di cannot let it go to him.
What Zhu Gaoxian wanted was only to temporarily use the strength of Zheng He's fleet, which was enough, and it took Zheng He more than three months to destroy Korea and the Wa Kingdom, which was an insult to Zheng He!
If Zhu Di really dared to give him Zheng He's fleet, Zhu Gaoxian would be the king of Qi, and he would directly take Zheng He to Europe to establish the empire on which the sun never sets and crown him as the world hegemon!
It's so confident, there's no way, the strength is here!
Zhu Di's eyes stared at Zhu Gaoxian's face, this face was angular, and the peach blossom eyes looked affectionate and gentle if they were placed on others, but they were so high-spirited in him, and his eyebrows were heroic.
In terms of appearance, Zhu Gaoxian has seven images of his biological mother, Queen Xu, who is handsome and bright, and he doesn't have to pay silver to go to the Qinglou.
But in terms of temperament, Zhu Gaoxian is almost the same as Zhu Di when he was young, unruly and arrogant.
Also, why isn't he crazy?
At the age of more than 20 years, he destroyed Annan, captured King Anle alive, killed King Shunning, recovered Jianzhou Province, expanded the territory, and made meritorious contributions.
Zhu Di suddenly couldn't help but stretch out his big hand, put it on Zhu Gaoxian's cheek, and pinched his son's face.
Zhu Gaoxian: "? ”
He almost blurted out a sentence of "You two arms, what are you doing pinching my face", but fortunately he endured it in the end.
Zhu Di's eyes were complicated: "Fourth, let's do well in the future, will it be successful?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile: "What does my father mean by this, my son doesn't understand?" ”
"You'll understand."
Zhu Di took a step forward, put his forehead against the young man's forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Dad is old, he can't move, the years are unforgiving, this Daming, what is missing is a young knife-wielding man." ”
His Majesty the Emperor's fiery breath exhaled on the side of Zhu Gaoxian's face, making the young prince a little uncomfortable, and his face was slightly red.
Why is the old man convulsive again!
Zhu Gaoxian suddenly took two steps back, and said in a bit of a panic: "Father and Emperor atone, the son suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter at home, so he said goodbye first!" ”
After speaking, Zhu Gaoxian ran away, and his figure was slightly embarrassed.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the back of King Qi's "escape", with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "Stinky boy, it's really similar to when I was young." ”
……
The flower pond of King Qi's mansion is in full bloom, the purple and red are competing to offer flattery, the rich fragrance of flowers is blowing in the face, the butterfly beats its wings, and it is reluctant to give up, and it is intoxicated.
The princess's delicate jade fingers are like unflowered green onions, lightly dotted on the stamens, the branches and leaves tremble slightly, you can see such delicate flowers, and you can't bear to pick them.
The slight spring breeze swept through the sea of flowers, rolled up countless gorgeous petals, and fell on the tips of the beauty's hair, compared with this amazing princess, the countless precious flowers and plants in the sea of flowers were all eclipsed.
Suddenly, a big hand appeared, placed on Zhang Yingzhen's soft long black hair, and gently swept off the petals between the hair.
"Lord Wang?"
Zhang Yingzhen was taken aback, and when she looked back, it was the young King Qi, who couldn't help but be surprised and happy, covering her red lips with her hands, and tears in her eyes.
"What are you crying about, it's not good to look good when you cry, you are the most beautiful when you smile."
Zhu Gaoxian put his hands on Princess Qi's soft cheeks and smiled, and he smiled, "This is the princess of this king, I can say in advance, this king only likes the most beautiful women, you have to smile in the future to let this king always accompany you." ”
Zhang Yingzhen couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, this smile was like a fairy palace goddess descending to earth, the beauty of the years stopped flowing, and the charm of the city.
"Then you are amorous, Lord Qi."
Zhang Yingzhen said softly, "You have grabbed the heartstrings of the little woman, pity me for being a little old, and I was dazzled by a wicked person, what should I do?" ”
"How? Then you will knock me well, how evil I am! ”
Zhu Gaoxian suddenly bent down and hugged Zhang Yingzhen's white legs under her skirt, and actually put this Princess Qi on her shoulders, striding across the flowers.
Zhang Yingzhen was frightened, anxious and ashamed, and hit Zhu Gaoxian's back with both fists, but this weak little pink fist was more like a tickle for the "big villain" King Qi, Zhu Gaoxian's laughter was even more presumptuous, and he joked:
"The king of the mountain is taking the lady of the village away~"
