Xinshun 1730

Chapter 494 Inappropriate Jinghai Hou

This is exactly the top priority of Ruo Mi Ziming when he is appointed as the governor of the coastal defense of Fujian and Guangdong. On the contrary, the investigation of the Nanyang terrain is secondary.

The difficulty in managing Southeast Asia is no longer fighting. The Dutch can't get many people in Southeast Asia.The difficulty lies in the governance after the defeat, and the rampant pirates after Dashun officials intervened in the spice trade.

There are many romantic legends about pirates; Liu Yu also believes that there are definitely many pirates who were bullied and forced by the government to go to sea as bandits; The Dutch" is a hero who killed and rebelled against the background of cutting sugar cane for a lower wage than the local Javanese in order to threaten and coerce his compatriots.

These are all.

But Liu Yu was unable to solve various problems in Dashun, and he did not have a strong organization to rely on, so he had to sit on the side of the Dashun court and wipe them out.

But this matter was handed over to Mi Ziming, it is expected that he is also a compassionate person, knowing the helplessness of the poor, he will kill those who should be killed, and will not kill those who should not be killed.

"At that time, I will talk to the Fujian Jiedu envoy, and set up a few places in Taiwan. Either for reclamation, or for planting sugar cane, or for building a seaport. It is always for those who have no choice but to go to sea to become thieves. , find a way out."

"But the pirates must be wiped out within a few years. Now that the Dutch have started direct trade, they don't like pirates. This is an opportunity. Don't do it now. When the Dutch are driven out, say Maybe you will find a lot of pirates popping up."

"In the name of exterminating pirates, you are also familiarizing yourself with the water conditions and sea charts in Nanyang. Another thing is to distinguish clearly which ones are notorious pirates and which ones are the Han people who went to Nanyang to establish their own country and mainly cultivate and mine trade. If it was someone else, I really don't feel at ease, most of them will kill things without asking indiscriminately, with sharp knives in their hands, and the desire to kill is self-inflicted."

"If those who have established a country overseas, try to persuade them. I also try to bury people in the court as much as possible, and then I will be a vassal. Let the court confer a false title. I want to come to your fleet to take a tour , They also know that apart from the Dutch and the Portuguese, there are still people they can rely on."

Mantou responded one by one, keeping these instructions firmly in his heart.

The arrangements for the confidantes on both sides have been arranged, and Liu Yu has relaxed a lot. He smiled and said: "There is no way, there are many things to do when I return to Beijing this time. After all the troubles, I probably have to go to Nanyang to express my comfort. The two of you I care about things most, and the rest are small things.”

Two days later, the thick books and accounts were loaded into a carriage, which were the statistics of the navy's real expenses in recent years.

Li Yan looked at the large cart full of accounts, and said with a smile: "I also know these days, there is such a saying as yin and yang accounts in the world. It's just that I have never seen anyone posting money in it, but they all make fake accounts. I got the money out of my own hands."

After laughing, he asked in a low voice: "Ying Suobo can tell you the truth, the court won't be too shocked, right?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. You may be shocked, but it's not enough to be too shocked. Since the imperial court will transfer the government's money and His Majesty's internal funds to the public account in the future, I will sort it out. It's not bad. But it's not enough to scare The imperial court dare not buy any more warships. You can rest assured."

"That's good. That's good." Li Yan was frightened by such a large amount of accounts, and he was really worried that the court would not allocate funds if he thought it was too expensive. His future is closely related to the navy.

"Eagle Sobo knows the rumors that the imperial court will set up a navy department. In the future, whether the expenditure will be spent on the navy or the Privy Council will go to the navy department. But in the final analysis, it still depends on the face of the household government secretary, the candidate for the navy department secretary , I still don’t know who it will fall on. If you can’t stand in the middle of the court, then the life of the navy will be difficult.”

Li Yan also knew that the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of the Navy would definitely not fall to Liu Yu.

Otherwise, it would really be the world of the Li family and Liu Jiahai.

And don't even think about it, most of them won't pick from Xungui.Either they are selected from the top three from the Wude Palace, or they are selected from the people who were born in the imperial examination. I am afraid that if someone who feels that the navy is actually useless becomes the secretary of the Ministry of the Navy, it will be miserable.

Because one thing is certain, they will not be selected from those who were born in Jinghai Palace.When the Jinghai Palace was first built, the emperor promised that this was not another Wude Palace, and would not compete with people from the imperial examination and Wude Palace for the number of courtiers.

Li Yan has also been trained in the navy for a period of time, so he dare not say that he has understood the operation of the navy, let alone those who have never been in the navy for a day to be the secretary of the navy, no matter how they think about it, they feel dangerous.

The current situation in the court is unpredictable, and no one can see the future direction of the court. They can only plan for the worst, but they also formulate the best possible plan.

Seeing Li Yan's uneasy expression, Liu Yu said in relief, "Your Highness, don't worry. The minister of the Ministry of the Navy doesn't necessarily have to understand the navy. It's like the rumors in the capital for many years, how did the minister of the household government understand money? Which minister of the military government knows how to fight? Only the Minister of the Official Government can be sure that he will become an official."

Li Yan looked at the cart of ledgers with lingering fear, and said bitterly: "I'm afraid that there will be a minister of the Ministry of the Navy, and the new official will take office three times. He thinks that the navy costs too much money. The fee will be cut off. Although I don’t know the exact amount, I also know in the past few months that the navy really spends a lot of money, and some money has to be spent.”

Liu Yu thought that it might not be impossible, but in the end it still depends on the emperor's attitude.If the emperor thinks that being the emperor now is very cool, and thinks that the Japanese tribute will be far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, then it is useless to say anything.If you think it is still necessary to go to Nanyang, even if the navy is a toilet paper and throw it away, you have to wait until Nanyang is finished.

The direction of the world depends on the monarch's thought.Although I don't like it, I have to accept this reality.

…………

The direction of the general trend of the world is indeed determined by the emperor.It's just too vague and unrepeatable. No one knows what would have happened if it hadn't been done this way, or what would have happened if it had happened in the first place.

But for Liu Yu's title, the emperor can decide what kind of title Liu Yu will put on his head in the future. If the emperor is not satisfied, he can change it.

Li Gan was very displeased after reading the memorials handed over by the Tianyou Palace and the Li government.

It was inevitable to be named a marquis, and the agreement on the title was naturally a joint discussion between the Tianyou Palace and the Li government. As a result, they discussed for a long time and came up with the title of "Jinghaihou".

Of course the emperor didn't know that if he really gave Liu Yu this title, Liu Yu would also write a letter to resign, and he would definitely not accept this title.

The reason, of course, is impossible for the emperor to know the real situation.

But even if the emperor didn't know this title and Liu Yu was disgusted, the emperor himself didn't like it.

Ordinarily, this title is the most suitable, and the word Jinghai also corresponds to Liu Yu's credit.

But the emperor felt that this title was unlucky, and the Japanese side used the obvious alienation scheme before, and now Liu Yu was given this title, I am afraid that Liu Yu would mutter the deep meaning in his heart.

This is the title of Wu Zhen in the previous dynasty after the founding of the country, but Wu Zhen's fate was very miserable. After his death, he was chased as the Hu Party, except for the title.

At this juncture, the people in the court are all well-read poems and books, how could they not know such an allusion?From Li Gan's point of view, it was obviously intentional to mention such a title on purpose.

The reasons that can be mentioned seem to be unassailable.

The Dashun Jue has a land name and a beautiful title.It is probably the difference between Yi Guogong and Qi Guogong, and although there is no clear written document, in fact, the tacit agreement is that the US title is higher than the local title.If it is a Marquis, the word Jinghai is already the top character.

And what did the Marquis of Jinghai do in the previous dynasty?
Supervise shipping, go out of Wendeng, lead the navy, and wipe out Japanese pirates...

What Liu Yu did was almost the same as that of Wu Zhen. He also advocated the transportation of rice by sea, went out of the town of Wendeng, led the navy, conquered the Japanese, and pursued to Ryukyu.

That being the case, wouldn't it be appropriate to entitle Liu Yujue as Jinghai following the story of the previous dynasty?
Moreover, the name of the naval officer school supervised by the imperial court is Jinghai Palace, isn't this exactly corresponding?

Even posthumous titles can be used directly: Duke Hai.

If this was many years ago, the emperor would not feel that there was any problem, that it was indeed appropriate, and would not think about Wu Zhen's final fate.

But it's different now.

In the past, Liu Yu could be said to be a vigorous and enterprising young man, but now?Before conquering the Japanese, he directly threw away his military power.He said it with a high-sounding sound, saying that he wanted to fulfill the promise of the "army under control" at the beginning. The emperor believed half of it, and murmured in his heart that Liu Yu had also learned to retreat bravely.

At the end of the conquest of Japanese, the shogunate wrote clumsy letters to separate them.Li Gan himself knew that the shogunate did not even believe that this letter would be useful.

But this is where the nausea of ​​this letter lies.The letter always said that the bird is exhausted and the emperor trusts him. What if the emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne?

Here comes suspicion.

Li Gan wondered, would Liu Yu care about what was said in the letter?Does Liu Yu think that I, the emperor, care about the rhetoric in the letter?Could it be that Liu Yu didn't care at first but felt that I, the emperor, cared so he had to care?I said I don't believe it, does Liu Yu believe it?Or don't you really believe it?I didn't think it was a problem at first, but after I, the emperor, deliberately said that I didn't believe it, I started to care about it instead?

There is no way to ask this question, Li Gan can't ask Liu Yu directly, do you believe what is said above?Besides, it's useless to ask, whether Liu Yu believes it or not, he will say whether he believes it or not, and he will also say that he doesn't believe the Holy Son of Heaven will believe it; but in fact, no one knows whether he believes it or thinks the Son of Heaven believes it.

At this time, I will give Liu Yu the title of "Marquis of Jinghai", and turn over the book when I go home: Oh, it turns out that Marquis Jinghai is a remnant of the former Hu party, and finally got rid of the title?Is this implying something?Besides, his father, Yi Guogong, also supervised the history of the previous dynasty... It would be better to just give him the title of Marquis of Huaiyin.

Looking at the memorials drawn up by the ministers, after thinking for a while, he took up a pen and erased the word Jing from Jinghai and changed it to Jing from Jinghai.

"The first contribution is the inscription on Yongning Temple in Jinghai. If it weren't for this matter, how could it stand out? Jinghai is its blessed place, and this is one of them."

"The population is growing, but the land does not increase. The policy of Jinghai emigration is a national policy. How can I forget Liu Yu's advice? Jinghai is not just a frontier matter, but a long-term benefit."

"So change Jing to Jing, no reconsideration!"
