Capital.

Yanwang Mansion.

When I learned that Zhu Yunxi wanted to continue to explore overseas markets.

Even a powerful vassal king like King Yan was moved!

Zhu Di, as well as his three sons, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui, got together to discuss the matter.

"Boss, second, third, what do you think about this matter?"

"Now the imperial court's attitude towards us vassal kings has become very clear."

"Stay in Jingshi, and the greatest possibility for you in the future is to be an idle prince! Eat and drink to raise you, but if you want to achieve anything, I'm afraid it's impossible! ”

Yanwang Zhu Di saw it very clearly.

Knowing the current situation, it is actually very unfavorable for their vassal kings.

is different from Lao Zhu's attitude towards these sons.

While giving them the title of king, they also gave them military power, so that they are effectively equivalent to separatist forces in the local area!

One is more powerful than the other!

Now the attitude of the grandson Zhu Yunxi is obviously different, Zhu Yunxi has no intention of letting them go at all, not only relieved them of their military power, but also recalled them from the domain to the capital division.

What is the purpose?

Nature speaks for itself!

It's just to weaken the power of these vassal kings! So that these vassal kings don't have the ability to rebel!

For those vassal kings who were not convinced, they were also knocked one after another.

Let's see how many vassal kings have died over the years, King Qin! King Jin! King Qi! Although it seems that it has nothing to do with Zhu Yunxi, only Zhu Yunxi himself knows whether it really has anything to do with it!

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, had no intention of rebelling.

It's just that I have seen my power gradually decline over the years, and my future generations will also have power that can't stop falling.

Zhu Di couldn't help but start worrying.

He knew that his three sons were not the masters of peace, and the second Zhu Gaoxu naturally went without saying.

That ambitious look can be seen at a glance.

Although the third Zhu Gaosui has average intelligence, he is not less ambitious.

As for the boss Zhu Gaochi...... Don't look at his honest face, his mouth is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact, the calculation in his heart is no less than others!

It's just that it never shows it!

The scheming city is far deeper than the second and third children!

"Dad, what do you mean to let us go overseas?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked with a puzzled expression.

"But overseas is desolate, where is there a good place to go? I'm definitely not going! ”

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to make a good career in the territory of Daming.

But Zhu Gaochi has a different view.

"Second child, I don't understand, overseas is not desolate, this is the latest overseas market that His Royal Highness Taisun wants to open up, Tianzhu, is an extremely good place."

"It's just that His Highness doesn't seem to have the idea of turning this place into my Ming colony."

"Instead, we want to open the market for Tianzhu."

"However, I recently looked at some information from previous years, and found that the ruler of this land of Tianzhu is a foreign country."

"Daming wants to open the market in Tianzhu, I'm afraid it is very difficult."

"When the time comes, maybe I'll have to meet the sword soldiers!"

"This is also our opportunity, this Tianzhu land is very vast, relying on the navy alone, I'm afraid it's not enough, we have to send a part of the new army over."

"If only our father can win this opportunity to lead the troops."

"Great achievement!"

"At that time, if we want to go overseas to fight for a good territory, it may not be impossible!"

Zhu Yunxi's idea is that it is better not to use swords.

But Da Ming is so huge, and the composition of interests is so complex, it is naturally impossible for everyone to have the same mind as Zhu Yunxi.

For the vassal kings.

Especially for King Yan, it is in Zhu Di's interests to use swords overseas and then take down a piece of territory!

Maybe...... In the future, Yanwang Zhu Di can still break into a new world overseas!

But if the vassal king goes to sea, Zhu Yunxi can really agree?

Zhu Di thinks that this answer must be no!

"Leading the troops to fight this kind of thing, I'm afraid don't even think about it! His Royal Highness Taisun is guarding against us vassal kings everywhere, if we are allowed to lead troops to sea, His Royal Highness Taisun will also be worried, will we start another business overseas! ”

"And let the vassal king go to sea."

"What's the difference between this move and the previous separation? On the contrary, it is in the territory of Daming, which is closer and has more news. ”

"Know the vassal king's every move."

"But overseas, that's the real Tiangao Emperor Yuan."

"Who knows what's going on?"

"Judging from the prudence of His Royal Highness Taisun, it is absolutely impossible to agree to such a request."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes rolled.

"So, Dad, what do you mean?" ”

Yan King Zhu Di smiled and said, "What I mean, that is to form a caravan belonging to our Yan Wang's Mansion!" ”

"We are not allowed to take charge of the troops in the Yanwang Mansion, but it is still possible to form a sea caravan belonging to our Yanwang Mansion, right?"

"And overseas, it's hard to say anything."

"Let His Royal Highness Taisun send some guns, and he can be regarded as having his own power overseas."

"Wait until later, if something happens."

"At least there's a way out!"

Zhu Di thinks about things very long-term, and now that Zhu Yunxi is on the throne, although the rights of these vassal kings are particularly restricted, Zhu Yunxi is also very gentle with them and these vassal kings.

As long as you don't make a big mistake, there is basically no problem.

King Qi made such a big mistake before, didn't he kill him in the end?

There are also King Zhou, King Chu and others.

One by one, they were also reused, and they were not left idle.

But what about when Zhu Yunxi is gone?

What about when Zhu Yunxi's descendants ascend the throne as emperor? Things could change dramatically!

A group of princes are crowded in Beijing.

It is inevitable that he will be brave and ruthless, and he will hold his own noble status.

When the time comes, it is entirely possible to be uprooted by the emperor!

It's definitely possible!

Therefore, Yanwang Zhu Di is not only thinking about his present, but also thinking about the future! With such a caravan at sea, Zhu Di can completely send the ambitious Zhu Gaoxu out!

Let him go to sea!

And don't worry, what kind of disaster did he cause to himself in the Daming Jingshi!

Zhu Gaochi also has a hand in financial management.

When the time comes, Zhu Gaochu will lead the caravan, and Zhu Gaochi will be responsible for the overall planning, and he will be able to keep the glory and wealth of this Yan Wangfu for generations!

Come to mind.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, got up directly and went to the palace, wanting to find Zhu Yunxi and talk about it.

However, when he first arrived at the palace, he met many other vassal kings.

Upon inquiry.

Most of these vassal kings actually want Zhu Yunxi to seal a territory for them overseas! And give them military power!

Zhu Di couldn't help but secretly speak.

These guys are really whimsical! Zhu Yunxi may give you overseas territory and military power?

I'm afraid that if it doesn't change hands, it won't be under the jurisdiction of Daming!

After more than ten years, maybe you will have to turn around, and maybe you will counterattack the Ming Dynasty!

It's just that Zhu Di didn't persuade them.

With these guys going to the thunder for him, when His Royal Highness Taisun hears that he just wants to set up a sea caravan, he will be happier than him.

You won't feel embarrassed.

On the contrary, I will feel that he Zhu Di knows the general!

Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Yunxi met with these vassal kings.

Looking at his uncles below, Zhu Yunxi also had a big head.

After knowing the intention of these vassal kings, Zhu Yunxi understood that he must not offend some people today, I am afraid that there is no way!

It is absolutely impossible for these people to go overseas to do such a thing!

Not to mention, Zhu Yunxi did not plan to let the Ming Dynasty lay down a large number of colonies, but planned to use a gentle way to constantly open the markets of other countries to develop the Ming Dynasty.

The real focus is still on the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Ming Dynasty has a vast colony overseas in the future, it will be absolutely impossible for Zhu Yunxi to let the vassal king go out and become a vassal king!

Even if it's Lao Zhu's intercession.

Absolutely not!

After all, in this kind of thing, Zhu Yunxi has experience and lessons from history!

Eagle Sauce, the largest hegemonic country in later generations, was originally a colony of Western countries, and it can be said that it was completely the son of the former empire on which the sun never sets!

But this own son, in the end, surpassed the empire on which the sun never sets.

Became a new round of world hegemon!

This is a lesson from the past! As long as these vassal kings are given overseas territory and military power, it won't be long before the hearts of these vassal kings will become wild!

When the time comes, it will only be a matter of time before he rebels against the Ming Dynasty!

There cannot be two kings in a country!

Zhu Yunxi will never allow the emergence of a second Ming in this world! There can only be one Ming in this world! And it must also be the overlord of the world!

So in the face of the request of these vassal kings.

Zhu Yunxi unceremoniously dismissed.

Angry, these vassal kings jumped to their feet one by one, pointed at Zhu Yunxi's nose and scolded: "Okay, you Zhu Yunxi!" ”

"Do you think that if you become a prince and become an emperor in the future, you can ignore our uncles?"

"We just want back what belongs to us!"

"I want to be the beginning, but the old man personally gave us the king! Give us the territory and the power of the army! ”

"You Zhu Yunxi took it back with a word!"

"Good! No problem! We put up with it! After all, it's all for Daming! ”

"But now?"

"We don't plan to stay in Daming, go to sea! There is no threat to you! You can be your emperor in peace! ”

"Isn't that good?"

"You have to force us vassal kings to death to be satisfied?!"

"If only the old man had known about it."

"I see how you explain it to the old man!"

The vassal kings present finally moved out of Lao Zhu's big killer, according to Lao Zhu's character, I am afraid that they will not really support these vassal kings.

After all, it was Lao Zhu who personally crowned these vassal kings at the beginning.

Although Lao Zhu is a monarch who is eloquent and sympathetic to the people, he also has his own faults.

The biggest point.

It is on this to crown his son as king!

Not only directly led to the future Fengtian Jingjing, but also one of the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty two hundred years later!

The imperial court raised these vassal kings to be fat for nothing!

But the problem is that the court itself has no money! We can only continue to levy harsh taxes on the people!

In the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the problem of vassal kings has not been fundamentally solved from beginning to end!

It took a lot of effort for Zhu Yunxi to make sense of Lao Zhu.

Now, if these vassal kings are allowed to go overseas to serve as vassals, won't all the efforts made by Zhu Yunxi be in vain?

But at this time.

Zhu Di stood up and said, "Your Royal Highness, the minister doesn't want to go overseas to become a vassal. ”

"I only wish Your Highness permission for the Yan Wangfu to have the power to form its own sea caravan."

"Go down and open the market of Tianzhu for His Highness!"

"Moreover, the money earned back, Yan Wangfu does not ask for any privileges, and he will pay as much tax as he should pay!"

"Please allow Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi heard it, Zhu Di's idea is okay! Saved Zhu Yunxi a lot of troubles!

Merely.

Zhu Yunxi would not agree to Zhu Di so simply.

Instead, after pondering for a moment, he said, "Fourth Uncle, if you want to form your own caravan in Yanwang Mansion, it's no problem. ”

"But Lone must tell you that the price of forming a caravan is to completely cancel the Yan Wangfu's Yulu!"

"Prepare a sea caravan for you, as well as goods, and a sum of money."

"In the future, you Yan Wangfu will be responsible for your own profits and losses!"

"You must not take any more taels of silver from the treasury of the Imperial Court! Fourth uncle, are you willing? ”

Zhu Yunxi is taking this opportunity.

I want to completely shake off the huge cancer of the vassal king! For the treasury of the imperial court, these vassal kings are all moths lying in the treasury and constantly sucking blood!

If only I could get rid of all these vassal kings.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to let them earn their own money and pay taxes to Daming?!

Zhu Di's heart sank.

I thought I had made a good calculation.

Unexpected!

Zhu Yunxi's calculation is even deeper than him! I even want to take this opportunity to get rid of these vassal kings directly! Reduce the financial burden on the imperial court!

But Zhu Di did the math again......

Compared with the imperial court's Yulu, the profit from maritime trade is much more than this Yulu!

Let them form caravans to trade overseas.

It's a win-win situation for both the court and the vassal king!

Zhu Di had to sigh, Zhu Yunxi's intelligence is really outstanding!

He immediately agreed: "Your Highness, there is nothing you can do!" ”

"It's just that the minister hopes that the sea caravan of the Yan Wangfu can use larger ships and be equipped with guns."

"You can have some defense capability at sea."

Zhu Yunxi has nothing to do.

With a wave of his hand, he said directly: "What if Lone gives you a Daming treasure ship?!" ”

"Guns, in the number of a thousand! Tomorrow you can go to Jinling Eighteen Fangs to pick it up! ”

Subsequently.

Zhu Yunxi turned to look at the other vassal kings again.

"Uncles," he asked. ”

"Do you want to go overseas?"

This moment.

The other vassal kings can be said to hate Zhu Di, the king of Yan!

At such a critical time, he actually backstabbed them! Accepted such harsh conditions for this kid Zhu Yunxi!

But how do they know?

Zhu Di can read and understand the situation, but they don't know that the current Ming Dynasty is already Zhu Yunxi alone!

and Zhu Yunxi.

It's going to end badly!

"In this way, let's follow the idea of the fourth uncle and form a caravan for each of you."

"From now on, you will be responsible for your own profits and losses."

"It's just that you don't have such a good treatment as the fourth uncle."

"There are no more Daming treasure ships, they are all ordinary merchant ships, and the number of guns and cannons is only two hundred."

"Do you want it or not?"
