Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 658
To be honest, Zhu Youjian is still very satisfied with the prince Zhu Cihong.

After experiencing severe pain, this child has become very mature now, no matter in every aspect, he is better than those emperors of Nanming.

Not only is he illiterate, he is also good at communication and loves military affairs even more. As the prince of Ming Dynasty, he can even think of entering the imperial military study.

The training in the Royal Military Academy is very hard, and most people can't persist.

Now that the world is peaceful, as the prince of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong doesn't need to go through this hardship at all, but he still chooses to enter the Royal Military Academy to temper himself.

Looking at the back of the prince Zhu Cihong leaving, Zhu Youjian fell into deep thought for a moment, Cao Zhengchun glanced at Ah Qing out of the corner of his eye, and he quietly left the imperial study room, only Ah Qing and Zhu Youjian were left in the room.

Ah Qing knew that the emperor might think of Empress Zhou, so she moved two steps to come behind Zhu Youjian, put a pair of jade hands on Zhu Youjian's shoulders, and gently massaged him:

"Your Majesty, the prince has already grown up, so you don't need to worry about him. I feel that Your Majesty should have a queen."

Zhu Youjian reached out and grabbed A Qingyu's hand, pulled her to sit on his lap, and then held her slender waist:
"Ah Qing, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I don't want to have a queen! But look at the concubines around me, which one of them has the potential to be a queen.

Not everyone can be the Empress of Ming Dynasty. Looking at so many dynasties in the history of China, only I, Empress Daming, is the most virtuous, who has not usurped the throne or power, and managed the harem in an orderly manner.

I don't expect to find a virtuous empress through the ages like Empress Hongwuma, but at least I want to find a virtuous empress who is similar to Empress Zhou. "

Ah Qing silently nodded:
"Your Majesty, Ruyan has a very good personality, but she can't be a queen. It's really a pity."

Speaking of Ruyan, Ruyan's peerless face appeared in front of Zhu Youjian's eyes:

"That's right! Ruyan has a gentle temperament and is indifferent to the world, and she is also very virtuous, but she is always worried about her birth. Even if I make her queen, she will not be willing. Such a big Bailian taught her If it can be managed well, there will definitely be no problem in managing the harem."

Ruyan is the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus. She knows that her identity will bring great controversy to the emperor, and she has to live outside the palace. If the emperor misses her, she can send her to sleep at any time, but Zhu Youjian refuses.

Don't look at Zhu Youjian's golden words, no one dares to publicly criticize him when he speaks and does things. Although he knows that Ruyan has completely transformed, Zhu Youjian dare not gamble if he is asked to appoint a former saint of the White Lotus Sect as queen.

Ah Qing thought that all the other emperors had thousands of beauties from the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards, while her host emperor had only five concubines so far, which is obviously too few, so she said:
"Your Majesty, there are too few concubines in your harem, so you have no choice at all. You can ask Wang Daban to pick out girls for you. After you have more girls, the queen will have more choices."

Zhu Youjian shook his head slightly:

"Not for now, let's talk about it in two years!"

When Zhu Youjian said this, he put his hand into Ah Qing's dress:
"Ah Qing, stay with me tonight, and go to the disaster area with me tomorrow."

Ah Qing's pretty face suddenly turned red, she nodded shyly and nestled in Zhu Youjian's arms...

The next day

Zhu Youjian ate too early, so Qinglong Cao Zhengchun came in to report:
"Your Majesty, you can start at any time, and the army is ready."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:

"Oh, how many people are there?"

Cao Zhengchun hastily bowed and replied:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are five hundred Jinyi Guards, two hundred Dongchang Fanzi, and a dozen members of the Royal Guard. The army is escorted by the Shenji Battalion, about 3000 people."

Hearing so many soldiers and guards, Zhu Youjian's expression sank:
"I went to the northwest to inspect, and I didn't lead troops to fight. Do we need so many troops to escort us in Daming? The water supply in the disaster-stricken areas is already difficult, so it is too wasteful for so many people to go.

According to my oral order, the Shenji camp will not move, just choose 50 people to accompany you, I have enough royal guards, if you don't worry about it, bring ten Dongchang fans. "

"According to the purpose"

Cao Zhengchun came out at the time when he was on the top of his head. All this was his idea. Seeing that the emperor didn't like it, he hurriedly took orders to arrange it.

In this way, Zhu Youjian got up and rushed to the disaster area with 100 people. Not all of these people were guards, and more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs accompanied him.

Regardless of emigration or disaster relief, the Ministry of Households must send people there. Now that the emperor has gone to the disaster area, the officials accompanying the Ministry of Households are of higher rank, and Shangshu Ni Yuanlu personally went to the battle.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian had too many capable people under his command. Whether it was the chief assistant Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong, Ni Yuanlu, etc., he could send any one to inspect at will, and there was no need for the emperor to go there in person.

But Zhu Youjian also has his own difficulties. There are still ten well-drilling equipment in the system warehouse, and no one in Daming knows how to use them except him.

There is another reason. There is still a lot of food in the system warehouse. If it is transported by horse-drawn cart or small train, it will waste a lot of manpower and material resources.

If he goes there in person, he can save a huge amount of money, which is equivalent to another income for the treasury.

There are about 100 people, no need to bring anything, a small train can just carry them, it will take more than a day on the road, and the system has everything to eat and drink.

Time passed quickly, and four days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the seventh day of October in the 19th year of Chongzhen, on the sea about [-] nautical miles away from the Ryukyu Islands, a fleet flying the Ming flag was heading towards Naha, Ryukyu.

This fleet is the [-] Ming Navy led by Haijiao and the [-] Army led by Tang Wang Zhu Yujian. The fleet is composed of two iron-clad ships, the Wendi and Zhengde, and ten sail transport ships.

The fleet is not large, but it still has no problem dealing with the Satsuma domain on the Ryukyu Islands. If difficulties are encountered, the Taiwan garrison will come to support.

The Ryukyu Kingdom, the name of the feudal regime that once existed in the Ryukyu Islands, originally referred to the three countries of Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei established in the Ryukyu Islands. In 1429, the Three Kingdoms were unified into the Kingdom of Ryukyu.

The Kingdom of Ryukyu is located between Taiwan Island of China and Kyushu Island of Japan, winding 1000 kilometers, with a total area of ​​3600 square kilometers.

Because of its special geographical location, it is known as a transit point for trade in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and its trade is developed, so it is known as "Tianjin Liang of All Nations".

In 1372, the Ryukyu countries became the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty of China.

In 1429, the unified Ryukyu Kingdom still maintained suzerain-vassal relations with China.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu continued to pay tribute to the Qing government.

In 1663, Ryukyu was officially canonized by the Qing Dynasty. Since then, Ryukyu has used the title of the Qing Dynasty and paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty. The Ryukyu kings of all dynasties have always asked the Chinese emperor for canonization, and it has never stopped.

In 1609, the Japanese Satsuma clan led troops to invade and occupy Ryukyu, forcing Ryukyu to pay tribute to Japan.

The Ryukyu Kingdom formed a state of "two vassalities", and was gradually controlled by the Satsuma clan and became a vassal of the Satsuma clan.

In 1872, the Japanese government took advantage of Emperor Meiji's personal administration to cut the name of the Ryukyu country and set it as the "Ryukyu Fan".

In July 1875, Japan forced the Kingdom of Ryukyu to stop paying tribute to the Qing government and use the Japanese era name instead.

In 1879, Japan announced that Ryukyu was abolished and established as a prefecture, completing the so-called "Ryukyu Disposition", forcibly incorporating Ryukyu into Japan, establishing "Okinawa" county, and the Kingdom of Ryukyu fell.
