Chapter 377: Strange Monarch

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng is full of infinite expectations for the future Daming, and the development of Daming has given Zhang Juzheng a kind of extravagant hope, that is, Daming can wake up from his slumber in the hands of His Majesty.

This kind of expectation comes from all aspects of life, such as the map in front of you, which has become more and more refined, and the fineness of the map has an impact on all aspects.

For example, from the military level, a very detailed map can better plan campaigns and logistics according to the terrain, hydrology and other environments, build fortifications, build forts and passes, and better carry out operations in foreign operations.

Qi Jiguang once commented on the more sophisticated map of the Northern Parallel Capital of the Ming Dynasty: an army without a reliable map, all actions are blind, and it is often limited to the narrow information of military intelligence, unable to make correct decisions. Lack of understanding of terrain details often negatively affects decision-making. If he had such a precise map, Tuman Khan would have stayed at the eastern foot of Daxianbei Mountain forever.

For example, from the economic level, a more accurate map, represents a more reasonable road planning, more reasonable resource allocation, more water conservancy construction, so that there is more food, more population, more possibilities, the map of the hinterland, is also extremely distorted, Kowloon Post Road, there are many places, can be changed, so that the circulation of goods and information is more convenient.

All of this is the result of the precise Kanyu map, which is also the credit of the doctors of the Gewu Academy who knocked out the abacus all day long, and the data collected by the horsemen and postmen is very primitive, and it takes a lot of calculations to make up for the huge Kanyu map in front of them little by little.

When Emperor Daming said that he would send Dr. Gewu to go, Zhang Juzheng immediately said that he would fully cooperate.

"This has to mention the new ship just sent by Guo Rulin and Zhao Shizhen, the general office of Songjiang Shipyard, I named it, the stargazing ship, the main purpose is to use it for Daming's Dr. Gewu for stargazing." Zhu Yijun asked Feng Bao to carry a model, this new ship was changed from the three-masted plywood ship after Zhu Yijun issued a holy decree to explain the needs of the Royal Gewuyuan.

The most important feature of this ship is that there are many observation instruments, such as wind speed and hydrographs located in the bow of the ship, as well as two downward water dispensers for measuring the salinity of the seawater, and the middle of the ship is embedded in the deck, and people can sit in it to look at the stars, as well as other stargazers.

On the side of the ship, there are guns, guns, bowls and other firearms, and the cabin cannot carry cargo, but is filled with oil and gunpowder.

A stargazing ship, his artillery, firecrackers, and bowls are all used to prevent Haikou, the design of the Ming ship is somewhat a phobia of insufficient firepower, even if the stargazing ship never goes out alone, there is also a firepower configuration, this is a disease, but Zhu Yijun can't cure this disease, after 23 years of Jiajing, how fierce the woes are, this disease is heavy, and it can't be cured at all.

And what Zhu Yijun cares about most about this boat is the matching glass dial theodolite, this thing is extremely precise, one is worth a lot of money, just the above lens, because it is made of crystal, a piece costs twenty-four taels of silver, and a theodolite, the cost is more than two hundred taels.

"With this kind of ship, the Ming Dynasty will not open the sea without a head." Zhu Yijun looked at the model, in a very good mood, and introduced all kinds of things on the ship with Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang one by one.

"What is this bottom that says it is a rudder and is not like a rudder?" Qi Jiguang asked curiously.

Zhu Yijun bent down and looked at the position of Qi Jiguang, who was squatting on the ground, and said with a smile: "Ocean current meter, measuring ocean currents, direction and depth, Qi Shuai, there are rivers in the sea, and the sailing ship of Hongmaofan can come to Luzon from Peru, especially in the equatorial windless zone, relying on the river in this sea." ”

Feng Bao and Zhang Hong looked at each other, the three most powerful people in the Ming Empire, the emperor, the prime minister, and the general, together were more than a hundred years old, squatting on the ground without caring about the image, almost no different from the old woman under the big locust tree at the head of the village.

It's really a strange monarch.

"When the time comes, Felipe II will come to pick up the ship again, and he will definitely hire some of our Ming boatmen and sailors, and let this ship that does not do business accompany him when the time comes, hehehe." Zhu Yijun's smile is a bit bad for stealing chickens, Antonio has experience, but Daming has science, no matter how experienced you are, when Daming studies this sea route to understand, whose new world is the new world, it's hard to say!

"Oh roar! Your Majesty's idea is good! Qi Jiguang looked clear, and nodded in agreement, very much in agreement.

They are all fellow believers, and His Majesty's thoughts, Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang could not understand it better.

"How much does this ship cost? How many people can you bring..."Zhang Juzheng began to ask about the detailed parameters of the stargazing ship, and he had to ask about the configuration before he could arrange people to start and observe.

Zhu Yijun communicated with Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang for a long time, and Zhu Yijun turned left three times around the stargazer and three times to the right, obviously very fond of it, but Zhu Yijun knew that this thing was the important weapon of the country, and he was greedy when he looked at it, but he didn't touch it.

"Okay, if you like it, take one with you, the shipyard sent four models, just to let me know what the shipyard is busy with." Zhu Yijun generously gave Zhu Yijun one.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Yiyi let the two little yellow doors lift up, and slipped away with the model, he wanted to put the model in the Luwang Mansion, in addition to the beauties of all countries, Zhu Yiyi also likes figurines, and it is also one of the few brothers who have the same hobby.

Emperor Daming is a bit unprofessional, and it is no secret that Zhu Yijun likes to do this kind of thing.

"Brother, I'll go first!" Zhu Yiyi told Xiao Huangmen to slow down and not to fall, he greeted the imperial brother as he walked.

Zhu Yijun sneered, shook his head and said, "This kid, when he rewards him with what he likes, he will call me Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhu Yiyi's back, his eyes were a little complicated, he hoped that Zhu Yiyi would become a talent, in case the emperor had three disasters and six diseases, Zhu Yiyi, the current de facto prince, would sit on the dragon chair, on the other hand, he didn't want Zhu Yiyi to really become a talent, so Zhu Yiyi's banquet was the responsibility of the emperor and scholars, if King Lu was virtuous, then King Lu would probably become a mountain in the court.

Zhang Juzheng said that if the connection between things is universal, then the contradiction is universal.

"I want to secondment the six five-masted ships deployed in Dianbai Port in Guangzhou and Yuegang in Fujian to Luzon, which can be used to attack the maritime affairs of the Strait of Malacca. Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

The Luzon Governor's Palace, after all, is an overseas Governor's Palace, once six five-masted ships are deployed to Luzon, if there is a war in Ryukyu and Nagasaki, and the ten five-masted ships of the Songjiang Prefecture Navy Division are dispatched more than four, the maritime military power will be unbalanced, and Luzon will be stronger than the Ming Dynasty, and since ancient times, the princes will be stronger than the imperial court, and there will be problems.

said that he would kill people cleanly, Zhu Yijun promised Lu Yi, the Son of Heaven Chrysostom Yuyan, and he naturally had to speak for words.

"Your Majesty, the surname of the country is trustworthy, but the minister doesn't think it's a good thing to do this, and people's hearts can't stand the test." Zhang Juzheng's attitude is relatively clear, he does not agree, and he clearly expresses his opposition on the grounds that people's hearts cannot stand the test.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Mr. said is reasonable, the battle for Malacca must be a long-term and difficult matter, and the secondment of six five-masted ships over the ocean is just the icing on the cake, or you have to rely on the work of water milling to uproot the camp forts established by Hongmaofan one by one." Qi Jiguang explained from a military perspective that this kind of secondment actually did not change much of the war situation.

The battle for the Strait of Malacca must be a meat grinder, since it is a meat grinder, it is natural to eat people, the red hair fan refuses to let it, the Ming Dynasty forcibly asks, since it wants to eat people, it can only be filled in with the lives of the natives.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "What the two of you said is reasonable, then each of them will be seconded to the past, so that there will be five five-masted ships in Luzon, let the country surname Ye do things, you can't not give nothing nothing, let the country surname Ye Guang take a holy decree to do the errand." ”

"I want the horses to run, and I don't want the horses to graze, it doesn't make sense."

"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng expressed his approval, the Luzon Governor's Office had five five-masted ships, and the Ming Songjiang, Ningbo, Fujian, and Guangzhou had a total of eighteen five-masted ships, and on the big ships, the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty was in absolute military superiority.

"Marquis Ning Yuan is going back to Beijing." Zhu Yijun talked about another thing, Li Chengliang.

Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and said with great conviction: "Qi Shuai wants to entertain Ning Yuanhou, don't be angry, make something awkward." ”

"Your Majesty is relieved." Qi Jiguang made a promise to His Majesty, Li Chengliang has always been loyal to the monarch and the country, so naturally it is hello, I am good, hello everyone, if Li Chengliang really plots rebellion, Qi Jiguang will also let Li Chengliang know that he is powerful.

Li Rusong was extremely excited, it has been three years since he said goodbye to his father last time, he has been away from Liaodong for seven years, the original bastard, now he has grown up, he took twenty horses, quickly drove Jizhou, arrived in Jizhou, but did not see Li Chengliang, because Li Chengliang took thirty followers, went to the mountains to hunt.

Li Chengliang thought that when he entered Beijing, the court would quarrel for a few days, so he went for fun.

At dusk, Li Chengliang returned with a full load, on the board car, there were two wild boars, one was shot in the eye and was killed directly, and the other was shot into a hedgehog, this wild boar is the overlord of the mountains, especially near Gyeonggi, there is no tiger such a fierce beast.

There are many birds hanging on the body, as well as some small beasts, rabbits, roe deer and other prey.

"Daddy! You're back. Li Rusong saw Li Chengliang's figure, and immediately greeted him, twenty-year-old Li Rusong, not afraid of heaven and earth, thirty-year-old Li Rusong already has a few traces of handsome demeanor, Li Chengliang from Li Rusong's eyebrows, did not see unruly, did not see arrogance, the first day of the world, the second of the earth, my third Li Rusong, obviously completed.

"How many times have I said it! When you do office work, you have to call it a position! There are no fathers and sons in the barracks. Li Chengliang looked at the group of people behind Li Rusong, as well as the two eunuchs, and subconsciously admonished.

"Got it, Dad!" Li Rusong agreed, but he just didn't change.

"Bastard boy, my father can't beat you now, kicking your nose in the face, right?" Li Chengliang scolded with a smile, this bastard son is with him.

"Ning Yuanhou took the order." The two eunuchs stepped forward to announce the decree, both of which were reeling words, mainly commending Li Chengliang's contribution to the inch-making in Liaodong, and at the same time praising Li Chengliang's loyalty to the monarch and the country, Li Chengliang seemed to have become a model of courageous loyalty.

Who has nothing to do and pin the family's head to the waistband of their trousers to rebel?

Li Chengliang entered Beijing to thank him when he was a prince, His Majesty treated him with courtesy, and now he is in Beijing to take up his post, and His Majesty also specially asked his son to come over, this is to carry the princes, face is given to each other, the court gives face, Li Chengliang has to catch it, otherwise the court is not decent, and Li Chengliang is not decent.

"Two angels, I have a share here, and I hope that the two angels will present them to the royal front." Li Chengliang took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to the two angels, and by the way, he also handed over a silver ticket worth two hundred taels of silver issued by the Treasure Banknote Bureau.

The two eunuchs took away the music, did not take the silver, and left directly, the silver was taken, tomorrow these two, they can only sink into the well, Feng Bao's restraints on the subordinates are extremely strict, especially when dealing with the internal officials and the outer court, the silver must not be taken, but the problem of internal corruption, Feng Bao's disposal is not intense.

Taking the money from the outer court is collusion between the inside and outside, and taking the silver from the inner court is a moth, and the punishment is naturally different if the crime is different.

"What did you write?" Li Rusong asked curiously.

Li Chengliang said angrily: "Adult's business, you don't inquire!" ”

"I'm a cavalry general now! It's not a child! "Li Rusong is angry, he has repeatedly made military exploits, his father's Ningyuan Marquis, but he has a share of the credit, in Daning Wei, Quan Ningwei and Ying Chang as pioneers who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, plus Li Chengliang's strategy and stability in the rear, Li Chengliang was awarded the title of Marquis.

"Yes, I've grown up." Li Chengliang looked at Li Rusong's appearance, Qi Jiguang really gave his money, Li Rusong himself has a strong military talent, Li Chengliang looked left and right, retreated left and right, and then said carefully: "Do you know what Jizhou is called?" ”

"What?" Li Rusong frowned.

"Jimen, the gateway of the Jingshi, you see there are three roads here, one to the four passes of Xifengkou, one to Shanhaiguan, and one to Beigukou, as long as there is a strong army here, the Beiyu can't break through here, and they can't loot Jinggi." Li Chengliang went hunting, and it was not for nothing, he found out the reason why Jizhou is called Jimen, and wrote it in Songshuli.

Li Chengliang explained to Kanyutu and Li Rusong, the geographical location here is extremely important, and Jizhou is in Beijing.

"That's why Qi Shuai wanted to guard Jizhou back then." Li Rusong once again affirmed the key to this place, this is the last line of defense of the Beijing Division, and it is also the place where Qi Jiguang guarded after the second year of Longqing.

Li Chengliang put away the Kanyu map, put it away carefully, and looked left and right like a thief, this Kanyu map was given to him by His Majesty, including the precise map of the Northern Parallel Capital Division and Gyeonggi Shuntianfu, he carried it closely, if Dongyi's gang got it, Daming would be in big trouble.

Zhu Yijun met Li Chengliang in the Wuying Building of Beidaying on the third day of Li Chengliang's entry into Beidaying, and the meeting was a business exchange, Zhu Yijun praised Li Chengliang for doing a good job in Liaodong, and Li Chengliang praised the emperor for being more heroic and extraordinary, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very harmonious.

Li Chengliang stayed in Beijing for half a month, and after meeting Zhang Juzheng, Tan Lun, Shen Shixing and others, he left Beijing for a long time.

The third lady left early in the morning, and the process of Rui's departure was not very smooth.

Emperor Daming forgave Lu Yi's offense very generously, but when he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were not so polite, and he threw Lu Yi out of the Siyi Pavilion on the same day.

Rui's departure was very unsmooth, he didn't have much silver on him, he went to Li Yashi to borrow money, Li Yashi simply closed the door and disappeared, Rui de and Diego de are relatives, or Diego de saw Rui's embarrassment, and received thirty taels of silver from Rui, no more, Diego de also took the silver in Li Yashi's hand and lived a life under the fence.

Rui hopes that Diego can help him introduce the luxury households in Xitu City, this idea, he has had it from the beginning, Daming is so big, the interests will definitely not converge, these rich people in Xitu City are the objects that Rui planned to contact at the beginning, but he has no way.

Originally, Rui thought that someone would come to the door to look for him, this kind of thing is not unusual, the nobles of the Mughal Kingdom have also found the Governor's Mansion of Goa, the luxury households in the Western Tucheng of the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone is a maritime merchant, and they go to the West to smuggle something, isn't that a matter of course?

But Rui waited left and right, and did not wait for anyone.

Lu Yi didn't know that in the opening of the sea, the interests of the luxury households in Xitucheng and His Majesty converged, and because the ship tickets of the Yanxinglou trading house were even tied together, the luxury households in Xitucheng attached great importance to the interests of opening the sea, and they risked a lot of risk by contacting Rui, and they also lost their own interests, and the luxury households did not intend to take the initiative, and they did not even intend to have any contact with Rui.

Your Majesty's dividends are really fragrant.

When Diego heard of Rui's plan, he fled and left, not daring to stay at all.

Rui soon found the first problem, that is, the language barrier, he wanted to leave the Ming Dynasty with the rubbing documents given to him by the emperor, but out of the Siyi Pavilion, he didn't even know the road, he didn't kneel in the palace, he was simply ready to go and have no return, but the supreme Emperor Ming forgave him for his offense and did not kill him.

After he arrived at the Goa Governor's Palace, he had not taken a bath for more than 20 years, he was a devout believer, or a fanatical believer, not kneeling in the temple, it was Rui's plan, he wanted His Majesty to see the courage of the Goa Governor's Palace, and fanatical believers do things illogically.

Rui stumbled away, and the two horsemen dressed up in disguise, followed Rui to watch the play, and then wrote the daily excitement into a song, sharing the happiness with His Majesty.

Rui will not starve to death, when he is dizzy with hunger, there will always be some food in front of him, this is of course not a gift from the Lord, nor is it a gift from nature, it is the food that the two Tiqi gave to Rui, most of it is chaff, it is difficult to swallow at the same time, and he is not full, but Rui only thanks his lord every time, not the Tiqi who does not let him starve to death.

Rui stayed in Daming Jingshi for seven days, but he couldn't find his way out of the city, and he found that he was lost, and he didn't know how to get out of the way when he came.

The officials of the Honglu Temple appeared in front of Rui again, because the time limit for Ruyi's stay had expired, and the officials of the Honglu Temple took Rui out of the city and to Tianjinwei, and when they arrived at the dock, the officials of the Honglu Temple left.

To be precise, because of the impact of the war, the Ming Dynasty now has no ship to Malacca City, except for the official ship of the Ming Dynasty to go to the official trade of the Mughal Kingdom, there is no ship to the city of Malacca.

When Rui was almost starving to death at the dock of Tianjin Wei, he paid twenty taels of silver, got on a painting boat, and went to Songjiang Mansion.

When he arrived in Songjiang Prefecture, Rui's language barrier was finally restored, because there was a messenger in Songjiang Prefecture, and he spent five taels of silver to hire a messenger and asked him to help find a ship to Malacca, but he found nothing.

The official ships of the Ming Dynasty were not so good, the bad relationship between the Mughal Kingdom and the Goa Governor's Palace, and the five five-masted ships that returned from the Mughal Kingdom, without any red hair, the unkempt Rui, completely fell into despair.

The last three taels of silver on his body were deceived and said that he could take him back to the Strait of Malacca, but after the man took the silver, he disappeared without a trace.

There was a war in the Strait of Malacca, and the shipping of the merchant ships was quite normal, but Meneses detained the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and things became complicated all of a sudden, and the war had spread to the heads of the merchant ships, and the Strait of Malacca at this time had become an extremely dangerous place, and the merchants were trying to bypass the Strait of Malacca, but with little success.

Rui was really desperate, his lord seemed to have forgotten him, and he didn't even have food.

In the midst of hunger and cold, Rui seemed to see his lord, yes, in the same dress as the one who brought him the meal, except that this time his lord did not leave after the delivery, but waited for Rui to finish eating.

Naturally, it was the commander of Nanya, the head of the tax court, and Luo Sigong's father Luo Bingliang.

"Emperor Ming let you die, you won't live the next day, Emperor Ming won't let you die, you can't die in the territory of Daming." Luo Bingliang waited for Lu Yi to gobble up his meal, and then left a sentence coldly.

His Majesty forgave Rui's offense in the Imperial Palace, then Rui would not die in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, in the Beiya, it was the cavalry of the Beiya, and in the Nanya, it was the Ti Shuai of the Fusi of the Nanzhen, Luo Bingliang threw a letter card on Lu Yi's body, and then continued: "Tomorrow morning, go to the port to take a boat, the official ship of the Ming Dynasty to the Mughal Kingdom will set sail tomorrow, and if you miss the hour, swim back!" ”

Luo Bingliang knew that Lu Yi couldn't understand Chinese, and he said this in Latin, this is a plague god, so send him away quickly.

Lu Yi finished eating the meal sent by Luo Bingliang with tears, it was not rich, but there was oil in the dish, and the reason for Lu Yi's tears was not how delicious the meal was, but the Lord in his heart, not the Lord, but the Ming Emperor's walk in the world.

It has always been Tiqi delivering food, and no miracles have happened.

Faith is a deep rift when doubts arise.

Rui's experience of being kicked out of the Siyi Pavilion made him have some doubts at this moment, not doubts about the Lord, but doubts about his own life, and his persistence and stubbornness seemed to be just a joke.

Luo Bingliang looked at Lu Yi's distracted appearance, showed some smiles and looked at the north, shook his head and said: "You are as stubborn and brave as my unfilial son, I only hope that the people you are dedicated and loyal to can also be worthy of your bravery." ”

This made Rui's tears unstoppable, Rui didn't know who the son of the Tiqi in front of him was, but Rui also knew more or less that the person he gave to was sorry for his bravery and persistence.

Rui is gone, taking the Ming horse's boat, the Ming merchant ship went to the Mughal country again, this route has been opened, the goods of the Ming Dynasty can reach the Mughal country smoothly, and the cloth, tea, porcelain and other things of the Ming Dynasty are exchanged for livestock, cotton cloth and grain of the Mughal country.

This time, the size of the fleet increased from 50 three-masted ships to 70 official ships, and the size of the entire fleet increased to 300, of which 150 ships belonged to the Songjiang Ocean Trading Company, and the remaining ships belonged to the major trading houses.

Hundreds of boats compete for the current, and thousands of sails compete.

This huge fleet began to move south, they arrived at Yuegang and then to the Penghu Inspection Division, then to Miyan Harbor, and after a short stay, arrived in Manila.

Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Yuanxun, Deng Zilong, Lin Afeng and others are waiting for the arrival of the fleet in the tide viewing tower in the port, they are waiting in the tide viewing building, waiting for not merchant ships, but four five-masted ships deployed in Luzon, plus the original Type A five-masted ships, the Luzon Governor's Palace will have five five-masted ships, and will become the strongest sailor in Wanli Haitang.

Once the Governor's Office of Luzon and the Ming Dynasty were separated from Germany, how much price would the Ming court have to pay to extinguish the rebellion in Luzon? The Ming Emperor's holy family and the strategy of opening the sea will be greatly affected.

Lin Afeng was a little restless, he was a pirate, there was no place for him to sit in the tide tower, but in the past seven years, the officials of the governor's palace have been quite gentle towards him, and the one who is responsible for catching the natives on the island is Lin Afeng's pirate back then, but now they have become part of the Luzon Guard.

"Yin Butang, isn't it really the Zhu family?" Zhang Yuanxun looked at the boat on the sea and asked in a daze.

Four five-masted ships are slowly sailing into the berths of Manila port, like sea monsters like C-type ships, full of oppression, such a sharp weapon, His Majesty so easily delivered to the hands of the Governor's Palace of Luzon.

Yin Zhengmao looked at the sea and said in the same distraction: "It shouldn't be... bar. ”

Could it be that he is really a clan in exile? At this time, Yin Zhengmao was also a little suspicious, this is four C-type five-masted ships, any one can be pulled at will, and it can be used in the local battlefield to press the important weapon of the country that can't raise its head on the other side.

Emperor Wuzong was dissolute and uninhibited, and there were a lot of romantic stories about Emperor Wuzong's mercy everywhere.

Ask for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!!!!!!!
