Chapter 159 The Beginning of Change

Zhu Zhanchang launched three latest steam warships, and the steam warships have been improved again, mainly in the weapons they are equipped with, and the tiger cannons are even more powerful.

Accompanying three hundred guards, Zhu Zhanchang's personal bodyguard captain Yang Song led the team.

One person gained the Taoist dog and ascended to heaven, and with Zhu Zhanchang being promoted to the king of the county, he also became the real leader of the house of the county king, and the others followed him.

The three steam warships were all given to Zhu Zhanchang.

In the first early dynasty after Zhu Zhanchang left, the emperor announced that Zhu Zhanchang would control the military forces in Guangdong and Guangxi, Yunnan, and Jiaozhi. In an instant, it was an uproar. In addition to the shock of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, it was almost a whole-brained objection and persuasion. .

The cabinet and several confidants had already received the news before, and they persuaded everything that should be persuaded. In the court, Xia Yuanji and Yang Rong still helped the emperor to say a few words, but Hu Guang and other members of the cabinet kept silent.

Just silence represents opposition.

Zhu Di still insisted on doing it, almost relying on his own power to pacify the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. This is the domineering of Emperor Yongle. Counting the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di have this domineering.

Of course, the discussion on this matter did not stop for a while, and the impeachment memorials of the officials and censors did not stop.

Most of them are Zhu Zhanchang's young age, and his behaviors are often unethical, and it is difficult for him to bear this heavy burden, these words.

Zhu Zhanchang, who was at sea, was not affected by this turbulent court battle. The sea breeze was blowing, someone was serving fruit, and his life was endless.

"His Royal Highness, it is expected that we will be able to go to Guangzhou Mansion early the day after tomorrow. It will take some time to rebuild the Prince's Mansion in Zhujiang County. Let's live in the original Governor's Mansion."

"Wait, how big is the Prince's Mansion in Pearl River County."

"Junwang, each builds a total of 46 houses. The front gate tower has three rooms and five frames. The middle gate tower has one and five frames. The front hall has five and seven frames. The wing rooms have ten and five frames. The back hall has five and seven frames. Ten wing rooms, five racks. Three kitchens, five racks. Three warehouses, five racks. Three rice warehouses, five racks. Three stables, five racks." A total of 46 rooms. "

Zhu Zhanchang thought for a while: "No, build it according to the specifications of the Qin Wangfu. Anyway, the court will pay for it, and the tiles will be replaced with blue ones."

Zhu Zhanchang's remarks surprised everyone present. Even Li Xiaozhu knew that the blue tile was the specification of a prince. The royal palace of North Korea used blue tile, which was later called Qingwatai. To build Zhu Zhanchang according to the palace of the Qin Dynasty is a proper arrogance, and it is still blatant.

Xiaosheng and the others were afraid that they would lose their heads after they were built, so they persuaded them earnestly.

Zhu Zhanchang had to change his method: "Then increase the scale a little bit. It shouldn't be as big as the Qin Wangfu, at least it can't be worse than the normal Wangfufu, and I want to build a tall building. How high is the Wanghai Building?"

Wanghai Tower is the later-generation Zhenhai Tower in Guangzhou.

"Your Highness, Wanghai Tower is five stories high."

"Then build me a [-]-story high-rise building in Fuzhong. I want to overlook the Pearl River. As the Prince of the Pearl River, I feel uncomfortable without looking at the Pearl River for a day." Zhu Zhanchang said a little domineeringly.

Others were a little embarrassed, but Zhu Zhanchang wanted to do it, Xiaosheng was still smarter, and figured out why Zhu Zhanchang made such a blatant arrogance.

This is to give the local officials a slap in the face. The new official takes office three fires, and the first fire is going to be arrogant and domineering. If you have nothing to do, you must find something to see the reaction of the local officials.

He can be a gentle and elegant royal grandson, and be polite to everyone, which will give him a good reputation, but a group of entrenched old men in the officialdom will only think that you are easy to bully, young and easy to fool.

It's better to be a playboy and act more domineering. No matter what they do, at most, those people will let the imperial censor sue in Beijing behind their backs. The domineering and domineering county kings at least have to respect and obey, because they can't afford to offend them.

As for whether there are people to set traps for assassinations or anything like that.

You are nice and angry, people who want you to die will still find ways to kill you, you are more arrogant, and those who won't move you will still not move.

Zhu Zhanchang asked someone to bring the itinerary: "My affairs should have been announced in the court. Let the officials brought by the emperor's grandfather order to come together this time, and I will hold a small meeting for them."

Among the group of officials, Zhu Zhanchang only knew Chen Youshan and Ma Xiang. Of course, in addition to the officials, Zhu Zhanchang also called out Zhao Quan together.

"Ma Xiang, after you arrive at Guangzhou House, you have to start a bank again. Zhao Quan, you are the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. You have already done it once. If you think about it, it is quite handy. I will give you all the power to do this. All the resources you need will come from Pearl River. It can be withdrawn from the palace of the county king.”

But the money Zhu Zhanchang needs to be a bank may not be enough for Zhu Zhanchang's county king's salary. Seeing that the two were hesitant to say anything, Zhu Zhanchang pointed it out directly and said: "The tax and grain of the Guangzhou government are all controlled by the Zhujiang county king's residence. Lane waited to check the inventory in Guangzhou Prefecture first."

Everyone was surprised, but Zhu Zhanchang's later words surprised them even more: "Not only the tax and grains are controlled by the prince's palace in Zhujiang County, but the troops in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Jiaozhi are also controlled by the prince's palace in Zhujiang County."

Most of the officials were dumbfounded, and a few of them looked okay.

One of them is Yang Lu, the servant of the Ministry of War, who is also the only third-rank official among the officials that Zhu Di gave to Zhu Zhanqian on this trip. He holds an important position in the Ministry of War and is quite famous. At the peak, Zhu Zhanqian didn't know how Zhu Dishi persuaded him to come with him.

The other person was Ding You's family member who had just resumed this year. Wang Boyang was an upright person. Both of them had no change in their expressions. I think they already knew about Zhu Zhanchang's control of the troops in the four places.

Zhu Zhanchang said to Yang Lu, the military officer of the Ministry of War: "Yang Shilang, you are the military officer of the Ministry of War, when you arrive at Guangzhou Mansion, you have to take care of you to make a trip to arrange the selection of military attachés, military status, weapons, and military orders in the four places. The prefectures are sorted by category and listed in the book, and also to see if there are any violations of the regulations, the most important thing is to collect the tiger talismans and marching flags in the four places."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already explained, and I will do my best." Yang Lu said very straightforwardly.

Without sending a few capable and experienced veterans, can Zhu Xi really give Zhu Zhan's command of so many troops in the four places with peace of mind?

More than half of the officials who came were from the Ministry of War.

Zhu Zhanchang looked at Wang Boyang again and said, "Wang Langzhong, I will trouble you to sort out the official roster of the Guangzhou government."

"It's a matter within the court."

At this time, Yang Song trotted all the way over: "His Royal Highness, we will send a small boat ashore tomorrow to inform the officials of the Guangzhou government that His Royal Highness is coming, and let them prepare to meet them. We will go ashore in two days."

"Don't worry, wait for your Majesty's matter about my control of troops in the four places to fly for a while, let's go here and dock for a rest." Zhu Zhanchang took out a maritime map and pointed to a small island at the mouth of the Pearl River.

"What are you doing here, Your Highness?"

"This place is located at the estuary of the Pearl River. It is the most convenient place to go out. I intend to locate the port for going out to sea issued by the imperial court here."

Everyone who was shocked by Zhu Zhanchang's words went out to the sea. Is the court going to impose a sea ban?

There was so much they didn't know about this trip.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was going to be a big move.

"Don't look at it as a small place, but I am optimistic about it, and it will become my Ming Dynasty's gateway to Nanyang in the future."

Everyone doesn't know why Zhu Zhanchang has such confidence, this is obviously a small fishing village.

The location where Zhu Zhanchang pointed was written.

Xiangjiang (gang) village.
