Chapter 84: The Ming Naval Governor's Mansion
After seeing Biao'er come in, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger disappeared by half.
Jiajing is not a descendant of Biao'er, he was born from the turtle of the fourth child!
"Come and see."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to Ji Xiaoxin's book on the table.
A little eunuch had already brought the prince's chair over, and after Zhu Biao picked up the book, he sat opposite his father and opened the book to read it carefully.
After only looking at the frontispiece, he couldn't help the surprise in his heart and looked at his father.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was dark.
Zhu Biao looked down again, and finally asked: "Father, Jiajing is thirty-five years old...... It's the emperor of my Ming Dynasty?! ”
"Yes."
"Son's plea!"
Zhu Biao hurriedly knelt down.
"It's none of your business, get up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang held back the fire and scolded: "Why hasn't the fourth child been yet?!" ”
He couldn't beat Jiajing, so he could only beat the fourth.
"Back to my father, the fourth brother will take more than ten days to reach Yingtianfu."
After replying, Zhu Biao stood up, took Ji Xiaoxin's book, and said ashamedly: "The descendants of later generations are incompetent, so that the father and the emperor are angry, and the sons and ministers are also at fault." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"
In this case, he couldn't tell his sister and Biao'er, he could only grieve Biao'er.
"Tell me what you read in this book."
Zhu Yuanzhang instructed his son.
There is no need to explain where this book came from, Zhu Biao is known to be from Chu Zhenren.
He took the book, and after a long silence, said:
"The sea can't stop the Japanese invaders, but it is getting more and more intense."
He looked at his father and saw him sitting in his chair in silence.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked depressed and said: "I originally thought that most of the Japanese were the remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, but now that I look at what is written in this book, the Japanese are indeed from the Japanese country, and they have been harassing my Daming seaside for two or three hundred years. ”
Zhu Biao said: "It's a pity that there is no land route between the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, otherwise we can send troops to pacify it." Now this situation is that the Japanese country is constantly coming from the sea, constantly harassing on the extremely long seashore, and the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty can only be tired of coping. ”
"Still have to build a ship! Build a big ship! Destroyed the old home of the Japanese Invaders. ”
After reading this book, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind to attack the Japanese state, but unfortunately the time had not come, there were not enough ships, and the soldiers who could go to sea to fight were not trained enough.
Zhu Biao didn't know what a "big ship" was, he thought about it carefully, "My father is now going to open the sea ban on the spring equinox, and I am afraid that the people along the coast will set up a boat to go to sea again and have illicit trade with Fang Guozhen and the rest of the party." ”
"I'm thinking about it, too."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then asked his son: "Who do you think should be sent to pacify the Japanese Kou?" ”
Zhu Biao knew that this was his father's question, so he thought about it carefully before replying: "The Japanese invaded Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang, and the sons thought that they could order Wen, Taiwan, Fu, Xing, Zhang, Quan, Chaozhou and other guards to supervise the construction of sea ships, supervise the construction of anti-Japanese sea ships, and strengthen defense. ”
"It's just a previous strategy, but now it's not enough."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I want to rectify the Daming Naval Division, concentrate the craftsmen of the shipbuilding in various guards, unify the coastal defense, and build the navy. ”
Zhu Biao was surprised to hear this.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Who do you think can be the first general of the Ming Navy?" ”
Ming Navy?
Zhu Biao couldn't figure out for a while how "big" the Ming Navy was, and whether it was subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
But judging from his father's integration of multiple guards to supervise the construction of sea ships, the future Ming Navy is estimated to be in charge of all ship manufacturing, coastal defense, and coastal guards.
Parallel with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
The left and right governors of the Governor's Mansion are all positive products, and the Governors know that they are from the first product, but no one has yet served as the Governor.
"Zhang He and Zhu Shou can be the governors of the Ming Navy!"
Zhu Biao's answer was very confident, "Zhang He was in charge of the command of Fuzhou Weidu in the first year of Hongwu because of his meritorious service in suppressing Haikou, and now he is the governor of the Right Army. Zhu Shou supervised Caoyun, also served as the governor of the rear army, and also went to the sea to patrol the Japanese invaders, both of whom were familiar with ships and coastal defense. ”
"Zhang He, Zhu Shou ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back in his chair, thought about it and said: "Both of them have merit, and it is reasonable to be appointed as the governor of the navy, but you have to add a governor to the navy, so as not to disobey the guards below." ”
"The Duke of Korea can be the Governor of the Navy."
Li Shanchang ...... Did he return to Yingtianfu? ”
"Just arrived yesterday."
"Let him come and see him at once, no, tomorrow...... That's it, this old boy, hmph, let him and Zhang He and Zhu Shou another day, plus the new Jiangkou sailors all command to bring ten craftsmen who are good at building big ships to meet me! ”
"Yes!"
Zhu Biao smiled, after all, his father still remembered some old feelings and did not let the Korean princess come.
The Korean prince is more than ten years older than his father, and he resigned due to illness ten years ago.
His father revoked the Imperial Imperial Court and changed it to the Imperial Palace, summoned him back, and appointed him as a scholar of Wuyingdian University.
"Do you see anything else in the book?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked his son again.
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment before he said vaguely: "After two hundred years, the soldiers of the seaside guard station seem to be useless. ”
"Let's just say that the guard is the same as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the future generations are all rotten!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea, so as not to feel aggrieved because he remembered the words of Ying Tian to protect the true monarch of the country.
Zhu Biao had already guessed it, and couldn't help but say:
"If my Daming Wei is rotten and abandoned, but the military system of the Tang Dynasty is not much better, can Chu Zhenren mention the military system to Li Shimin?"
Chu Zhenren can't just scold Daming if he wants to scold the guard, shouldn't Datang also scold?
"Li Shimin is now the king of Qin, and he is leading his troops to Luoyang."
"Ugh."
Zhu Biao looked embarrassed, he really couldn't mention King Qin, King Qin is now fighting the world, where to govern the country.
glanced at his father and saw his sullen appearance, Zhu Biao knew why.
Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the internal and external military and political affairs have been grasped by his father.
But since his father met the real people of Chu in the later generations in the way of soul wandering, his father and emperor issued holy decrees one after another, changing the previous policy.
From binding feet, to avoiding dead ends, to implement the three policies of governing the country, to opening the sea ban, and building a navy.
That's all.
However, the guard system is the foundation of the Ming army, once it is changed, the implication is too great, and even shakes the country's foundation.
"Father!"
Zhu Biao persuaded: "The system of the guard is still very useful today, and it cannot be easily changed. If you want to change, you need to measure the acres of land, change the tax system, change the household registration, and recruit troops to make overall plans before you can abolish the military households of the guards. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him: "Do you also see that the military household system is not good?" ”
"Erchen didn't dare to question his father, but he just had some opinions of his own."
"Write your opinion!"
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him, and said: "According to Hu Weiyong's way of writing." ”
"Yes, Father."
Zhu Biao received the order and knew that his father was going to show it to Chu Zhenren, so he wrote it from left to right in plain hundred words.
After leaving the canopy hall, he was still curious:
Who is Chu Zhenren?
He is the true monarch of the country, but he can't even read the written words, but he can come up with many magical things.
……
After the prince left, a eunuch immediately came in to announce that Xue Xiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Li Yong, the waiter, and Zhou Yi, the waiter, had arrived.
Zhu Yuanzhang summoned them in, and without saying a word, he ordered the eunuch to show them a few books obtained from Chu Zhen.
"Brigs, sail battleships, double-deck gunboats, rapid-fire guns, breech-loading guns, breech-loading guns......"
Xue Xiang and the others looked at the cannons and warships of the various maps in the book, their eyes widened in shock for a while, and finally, they looked at His Majesty in disbelief.
"These are all new weapon manufacturing drawings that Chu Zhenren gave to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was majestic: "I want you to take it back, immediately convene the craftsmen to discuss and discuss, and judge how long it will take for me to make these warships and artillery, and come back to see me the day after tomorrow." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The three of them received the order and were about to retire, when Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something and stopped them: "Don't leak these books, copy a copy and return them to the original of me. ”
There was no need to tell him these words, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu knew how to do it, but Zhu Yuanzhang thought of someone.
When they were gone, he ordered:
"Spread the Tao of Ten Thousand Households!"
