Chapter Fifty-Six: The Prohibition of the Sea, the Cause of the Rebellion of the Japanese Invaders

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Bing walked in and saluted directly and respectfully.

Lu Bing's grandfather, Lu Qi, was affiliated with Jinyiwei with military status, his father Lu Song took office, and his mother was Ming Shizong's nurse.

In the seventeenth year of Jiajing, Sejong paid homage to the emperor's mausoleum and ordered Lu Bing to manage the affairs of Jinyiwei and obey him. In the winter of the same year, he was awarded the post of commander of the Jinyi Guard.

In the twenty-first year of Jiajing, Renyin Palace changed. When Lu Bing heard the news, he rushed to the rescue and made the rebels fall under the law, so that Jiajing trusted his subordinates more and more.

At this moment, when he heard Jiang Chen's description from Jiang Chen, Jiajing immediately thought of Lu Bing.

"Lu Bing, I have something for you to do!"

Jiajing groaned slightly, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Lu Bing's expression was upright, and he spoke respectfully.

For Lu Bing, Jiajing is the sky, he knows very well who gave him his wealth, and it can be said that there is no one in the entire Jiajing Dynasty who is more loyal than him.

"I have heard a secret report this time, saying that the wreaking havoc along the coast is my people of the Ming Dynasty, I want you to investigate and confirm this matter!"

Zhu Houxi nodded, and then spoke.

"Wako?"

"The people of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, the minister will do it immediately!"

Lu Bing was a little puzzled and a little shocked, but he still responded quickly.

"Go ahead, I'll give you half a year, be sure to find out about it!"

Zhu Houxi nodded, and then waved his hand.

And Lu Bing quickly bowed down and retreated.

As soon as he left the palace, Lu Bing walked towards Jiangnan non-stop.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Bing's movement instantly attracted the attention of the entire court.

Even the ministers couldn't help but panic in their hearts.

Even began to talk urgently.

But obviously, Jiajing didn't care about these at all, he was waiting for information from Lu Bing's side on the one hand.

On the other hand, in the group chat, listening to Jiang Chen's narration, as well as his own grandfather, not too grandmaster's words.

Just like at this moment, the group is still chatting hotly.

Didn't stop to communicate because he was temporarily offline.

"Sir, how could the people of the Ming Dynasty become widows?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but ask.

He looked a little dazed.

In the Yongle period, the Japanese invaders no longer existed, but there were still Japanese in the Hongwu period, and Zhu Di also knew about this.

It was indeed a widow, all of them were extremely short, and they looked like dwarves.

But now Jiang Chen actually told him that in his later life, the Ming Wokou had actually become a Ming person.

Group leader Chen: "Hehe, I have to ask you Da Ming." ”

"What's more, a sea ban has made the people miserable, and the officials have forced the people to rebel!"

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di: "How come?" ”

Group Master Chen: "How not, the Ming Dynasty is forbidden to the sea, the board can not go to the sea, consider how the coastal people survive, fortunately the population in the early Ming Dynasty is only tens of millions, the huge land is enough for the people to cultivate, even if it is a little, it will not starve to death, but in the Jiajing era, do you know how much the population of the Ming Dynasty is, 160 million, or even more, almost doubled or more, how can such a huge population survive, in order to survive, you can only go to the sea, and if you go to the sea, you will be a criminal of the imperial court, so it is better to be a widow." ”

Ming Chengzu "This, this!" ”

Group leader Chen: "Hehe, not only are the Japanese people from the Ming Dynasty, but the leaders of the Japanese are also from the Ming Dynasty, if I remember correctly, the famous leaders of the Japanese Kou, such as Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Wu Ping, Deng Wenjun, Zeng Yiyi and others, are all from the Ming Dynasty, and their subordinates are also from the Ming Dynasty, even if there are a few island people, most of them are just workers."

"Oh, forget, the Jiajing Dynasty felt that the pirate Wang Zhi had done a lot of bad things, so he took the initiative to expel his nationality, saying that he was assimilated by the people of the island country."

Ming Chengzu ".......! ”

In the short period of time when Zhu Houxi ordered to summon Lu Bing, there was undoubtedly a large amount of information in the chat group.

And when Zhu Houxi saw this information, his face couldn't help but darken slightly.

There is no way, the meaning of Jiang Chen's ridicule is too obvious.

"Sir, I have already sent someone to investigate, but the forbidden sea is not unique to my Jiajing Dynasty, this is the ancestral system set by the ancestors."

Jiajing hurriedly typed a line of text.

Instead, just one word, don't stare at me and taunt me, I didn't make this thing.

As soon as Jiajing's message was sent, it was issued.

Taihedian Zhu Di's face couldn't help but darken.

Although the forbidden sea was not formulated by him, it was also his father, and the key was that he further strengthened it.

After thinking about it, Zhu Di still explained it to his father.

"Sir, my father's ban on the sea is not to ignore the suffering of the people, at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the coastal people were often harassed by pirates, and the power of the Ming Dynasty could not be prevented, it is better to stabilize the people with the ban on the sea."

Zhu Di's message was sent.

Jiang Chen quickly noticed it as well.

For Zhu Di's information, Jiang Chen still approves of it.

The forbidden sea at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was indeed necessary.

First of all, due to the collapse of Meng Yuan, and a large number of princes who competed with Lao Zhu in the world, they fled overseas.

The hearts of the entire Ming people are moving.

In this case, the Ming must stabilize the interior.

Only by immobilizing the people by banning the sea can there be peaceful development.

No one can fault that.

But the problem is that this forbidden sea is almost at the end of the Zhu Di Dynasty, and there is no need to go on at all.

I can't sustain it anymore.

In fact, Zhu Di also discovered this problem.

But Zhu Di did not solve this problem, and even maintained his huge expenses for the sake of the royal finances, and further strengthened the sea ban.

For the Zhu Di period, such an approach cannot be said to be right or wrong.

After all, it is precisely because Zhu Di has mastered the sea trade that he can have the funds to do such a huge thing.

Whether it is seven trips to the West, or the cultivation of the Yongle Grand Canon, or the five expeditions to Mongolia, this makes any era, any emperor make a few things enough to make the people miserable, just look at Yang Guang, Zhu Di did several, but the Ming Dynasty became stronger and stronger.

So it's hard to evaluate.

But the key is that after Zhu Di, the sea ban should also be relaxed, even if it is not relaxed, the state can continue to control it, but on the one hand, the imperial power has not fought the civil officials, the official sea trade has disappeared, and the sea ban has become more and more strict.

This time not only enriched the smugglers, but also made the entire coastal people miserable.

The coast is a large area of saline-alkali land, and it is basically impossible to survive by farming, but if you go to the sea, it will be a capital crime, and it is better to be a thief.

Under this vicious circle, the entire Ming Dynasty's rebellion is naturally getting more and more serious.

If you want to clear up any jokes, you can't finish it.

It is impossible to clean it up.

After all, there is no problem at the root, even if the surface is cleaned, it will still sprout.

In fact, it is true, there was a Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese Kou never ended.
