"Okay. Investigate yes, I'll wait. After a brief pleasantry, he took his leave.

As he walked, he took a big stride, and the corner of his robe was carried up by the wind.

"Anxiety, restlessness. This guy's expression is all written on his face. Waiting for Zheng Shiming to open the door, Zhu Xianene leaned back and leaned on the back of his chair, "What do you think?" I think he's on top. ”

"Ahh I see that you have a good relationship, so I won't talk about it. ”

"yes, the relationship is really good." Zhu Xianene shook his head, "I didn't know at the beginning, he approached me because I was the crown prince." But after a long time, I can see that he is a good friend, and he is a really good person. But at our age, we can't just live for ourselves. ”

Looking at the direction Zheng Shijie left, he muttered, "It's a good thing that I didn't continue to ask here." He also remembered that I was his friend. If he insists on messing with me face to face and uses personal relationships to force me to decide, then it will be really difficult for me to do it, but fortunately, he, like me, doesn't want this hard-won friend to become a bargaining chip. ”

"Senior brother, how long have you known Guo's surname?"

"It's been almost 10 years, a lot of years. Although they have known each other's existence for a long time and have met each other when they were children, it was a routine at that time. When he was in college, he suddenly came up, and the two of us slowly began to become friends. Of course, as I said earlier, his motives were really not pure at first, but we did have a good relationship. Because friends also depend on time to run in. And"

He touched his head: "At that time, I was actually not the emperor, but he was already the Marquis of Yanping." As a prince who is already in office, he is also an investment in me, rather than simply becoming inflammatory. Because of Yanping Hou, to some extent, it can be regarded as 'Fang Hou', or Bohou. Because he was the chief of the princes of Nanyang. ”

East Bohou Jiang Huan Chu, North Bohou Chonghou Hu, West Bohou Ji Chang, South Bohou E Chongyu. These mythical "Bohou" who appeared in ancient tales are indeed here now. The Nanyang led by the Marquis of Yanping, including hundreds of millions of people and thousands of miles of sea territory, is the largest internal domain in the world.

Shang Luo also met Lan Fang's Grand Fleet, when they were cooperating with rocket launches in the South Seas, patrolling and guarding the predetermined area.

"By the way, what is the tax police corps that the surname of the country said just now?" Shang Luo asked.

"That is similar to when the country was founded, Emperor Taizu Gao enshrined the king, in addition to the army under the command of the king of Sai, there were also guards in the palace. However, the king of Sai is only a command, he can only command but cannot transfer troops, and the only thing that the king can really mobilize at will is the guards of his own palace. King Ning's subordinates '80,000 with armor and 6,000 leather carts', this is an exaggerated number, but it is not exaggerated too much, at least 40,000 or 50,000. Plus the local garrison will only be more.

"At that time, this dual system of the king and the border army was set up so that the two sides could supervise each other, and at the same time, the two armies could also fight side by side, and after one collapsed, the two sides would not collapse in a chain. Lan Fang's situation is also broadly within this framework, but it is also different. Lan Fang's fleet, Lan Fang's army, can only act when it is ordered by the imperial court - this is a rule, and trespassing is a rebellion. But at the same time, Lan Fang's tax police corps can move on its own. ”

"That is, there are some subtle differences between the two sides?"

"Hmm. For the Bisai King and the border army, Lan Fang's control over the Lan Fang army is much stronger than the control of the Sai king's control over the border army, unlike the border army and the Sai king, who are just stationed in a defense area. Specifically, there are two differences - first, although it was the unification of the Sai king, the imperial court would send the duke to assist and fight side by side with the Sai king. But here, the imperial court will not send people to command the Lan Fang army, and it will all be handled by the national surname himself. Second, the border army was formed by the imperial court, but the Lanfang army was formed by Lanfang itself, and the imperial court did not spend money. ”

"Then this is." Shang Luo thought for a moment, "Isn't this closer to the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty?" ”

"Correct understanding. Although the system was built according to the system of our dynasty, the relationship between the imperial court and Lanfang was closer to the relationship between the emperor and the princes in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The princes themselves also had large armies, and the princes were limited by etiquette and could not transfer troops at will. But in any case, that army is the princes' own, and it is not something that we can change with a single decree or a few seals. Because, the imperial court did not pay for it, and the person who gave Lan Fangjun a meal was a national surname. and."

He paused: "Then it's the tax police corps." This is the result of a series of run-ins and games between clans and clans. In short, the Tax Police Corps is Lan Fang's unofficial force. They could not be equipped with equipment that threatened the regular army, but the Marquis of Yanping could mobilize them at will. ”

"Those military operations in the South Seas before that"

"Almost all of them are run by the Tax Police Corps. If he wants to mobilize Lan Fangjun, he needs to make a long report, and he has to make a break, which is very troublesome. Therefore, he generally directly mobilizes the tax police corps to come to the door - there is only one rule that restricts the tax police corps: it must be legal. Only if the other party violates the laws of the imperial court, the tax police corps can be dispatched. The army relied on the rites of the clan to restrain it, which was very cumbersome. But the tax police who enforce the law are much freer, because there are few of those Nanyang states who do not owe money. ”

"And what about this time?" Shang Luo asked, "Why is there a big fuss this time?" The national surname can be dealt with according to the previous practice, why did they all make trouble in front of them this time? ”

"Because Bo Ni Country is an exception - take the subway Yuhuatai Line to Andemenxia Station, there is a turtle mountain not far from the station, and there is a tomb of King Bo Ni 'Mana Jagana' on Turtle Mountain. Although the country of Boni is a chiefdom, they have merit. When Emperor Taizu Gao was in the past, they were the first to enter the court to celebrate. When Zheng He went to the West in the year of Yongle, King Bo Ni himself followed the fleet to the West back to the capital, and then died of illness in the capital. At that time, Emperor Chengzu understood them and gave them a cemetery in the capital for burial. ”

"They are here to cry about the ancestral grave?"

Zhu Xianene nodded: "Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for those chieftains in Nanyang to make trouble. But the country of Bo Ni is a special case, they can come to the capital to cry the ancestral grave. You don't know, they came before the national surname. I cried at the ancestral grave a few days earlier, and I also went to the door of the military headquarters in Yuhuatai to cry. The news didn't get out for the time being, because I pressed it. But now Bo Niguo is going to cry at the gate of the Ministry of Rites, and the gate of the Ministry of Rites is in the downtown area! At this time, it was nearly a year old, and there were tributary countries crying on the streets of the capital, what kind of words did this look like? ”
