Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 267
Zhu Zhanchang proposed to have a port, which is to exchange interests.

Ashikaga Yoshichi understood why Zhu Zhanzhen wanted a port, which is the same as what he did in Nanyang, controlling all important ports, the more prosperous the maritime trade, the more he made.

The Guangzhou government actually controls many ports in Jiaozhi, and the same is true for the major ports in the Southeast Asian countries. It is either actual control or joint control behind it. This is also one of the channels through which Guangzhou government's massive wealth comes from.

Ashikaga is scheming and reluctant to let Zhu Zhanchang do the same in Dongying, because once the port develops and is linked to the livelihood interests of the local people, it will be very difficult to drive it out in the future, and the resistance will be very large. .

Like the countries of the South Seas now, seeing that a large portion of the benefits of the port trade must be taken away by the Guangzhou government, but no one can do anything, the people are strong, and the people are still facing him.

With such a lesson in front of him, Ashikaga Yoshihide naturally couldn't give him the port: "His Royal Highness, there is no such thing in the conditions just now."

"You want our steamboat, this is the condition. I will give you ten steam merchant ships, but I want Daejeon Port and Daejeon City."

"Why Daejeon Port?"

"close."

Zhu Zhanchang didn't hide his thoughts, even if he did, couldn't Ashikaga Yoshichi see it?It's a compromise and a threat. Tell Ashikaga Yoshichi that if you have any changes, I can send the warship to Daejeon Port and punish you.

"His Royal Highness Zhujiang County, this is not good."

"Or, General Ashikaga can talk to my steam mothership." Zhu Zhanzhen threatened.

Ashikaga Yoshichi understands that this is Zhu Zhan's final condition. He hates threats more than Zhu Zhan's, but such negotiations between the two parties are constantly carried out in the process of mutual compromise and threats. No one wants the negotiations to break down, let alone himself. interests are damaged.

Zhu Zhanchang gave him a steam merchant ship, admitting that Dongying could own a steam merchant ship, and then Zhu Zhanchang obviously had to help him overthrow the emperor's rule, and he had to make enough concessions, just relying on Zhu Yunwen's news to want Zhu Zhanchang Paying such a price is obviously impossible.

After a long period of haggling, Ashikaga Yoshichi finally let go: "Then wait for His Royal Highness Zhujiang County to arrive at the port of Daejeon. After we receive the steam merchant ship, I will make an appointment with Emperor Komatsu to go to Daejeon."

"As soon as the word is spoken, it is difficult for the horse to chase." Zhu Zhanzhen got up and left, and Ashikaga took him out.

On the carriage back, Zhu Zhanchang punched the wall, and the Black Snake Ji hurriedly pulled Zhu Zhanchang's arm: "What is your Highness doing?"

Because of Zhu Yunwen's matter, Zhu Zhanchang felt that he was being calculated and was indignant, but he also knew that this was the normal state of politics. It only discussed the pros and cons, no matter right or wrong, there was no such thing as the upper hand every time.

"His Royal Highness, what young people are you talking about today, what is the emperor? I'm all confused." Hei Sheji looked at Zhu Zhanchang's hand with concern, and asked, he still didn't understand clearly.

"Alia, what happened today, you should pretend it never happened, and you are not allowed to tell anyone."

"It's Your Highness, don't get angry."

How can you not get angry if you don't get angry, because Zhu Yunwen's matter has to be compromised by himself. In order to protect Zhu Di's reputation, no one can tell it, and it seems that everyone here in Dongying knows about Zhu Yunwen's news.

Returning to the residence, first set off the fire, and then met Zhang Xianqi.

Zhang Xianqi said with a bitter face: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but Wei Chen's affairs are not good. Until now, I haven't found a chance to be alone with Emperor Shouguang or Kotaro Hino."

This task is indeed too difficult. Zhu Zhanchang's previous order was because he was a little confused, and it was expected that the order could not be completed.

"Don't blame yourself, just do your best."

After the anger subsided, Zhu Zhanchang put aside all the known information, and his mind became clearer.

Zhu Zhanchang thought about it for a while, and still told Zhang Xianqi what happened today. After all, this is his only trusted subordinate and strategist in Dongying. Zhu Zhanchang inevitably needs his help in this matter, and he has already Knowing the existence of Zhu Yunwen.

Although it was very dangerous for him to drag him into this matter, he had already entered into this matter from the moment he saw the divine treasure.

After listening to Zhu Zhanchang talking about today's events, Zhang Xianqi was no less shocked than Zhu Zhanchang. Zhu Yunwen is the Queen Xiaosong, the former Emperor He has been in Dongying for so many years, and he has never seen it once. It is very mysterious. .

"Your Highness, have you really agreed to his terms?"

"Well, there is no other way for expedient measures. We have to deal with Jianwen-Jun's affairs quietly. Now I have to use Ashikaga Yoshichi's help, but after this is done, people like Ashikaga Yoshichi are too dangerous and can't Raising tigers for a long time is a problem.”

Zhang Xianqi knew that Zhu Zhanchang's silent disposal meant that Zhu Yunwen and those who knew his identity would be disposed of, and he was also a person who knew Zhu Yunwen's identity, what should he do?

To master such a secret, either continue to climb up or be abandoned. Based on his understanding of Zhu Zhanchang as a person, Zhu Zhanchang is not a vicious person. As long as he works hard, he will not do anything to himself.

After all, when Zhu Zhanchang told him yesterday that Zhu Yunwen didn't know what to do, and to get rid of him, now he must be asked for his help before discussing with him.

Putting aside all concerns, people say that there is no doubt about employing people. For Zhang Xianqi, he should have no doubts about people. Since he is following Zhu Zhanchang, there should be no hesitation.

"His Royal Highness, these are all the personal words of Ashikaga Yoshichi, although the minister also believes that Ashikaga Yoshichi will not lie about this matter, but since he said that Emperor Guangyi also intends to contact you to tell you about Jianwen-Jun The news, Wei Chen thinks that we should find an opportunity to contact Huang Guangyi and find out more from him." Zhang Xianqi gave his opinion.

Zhu Zhanchang nodded: "It should be said that Emperor Guangyi gave us the life-saving treasure, and he also wanted to make a deal with us based on the news of Jun Wenjun. Ashikaga Yoshichi wanted to overthrow the emperor's position, and he did not usually release Emperor Guangyi. In my eyes, I think the contradiction between the two is not small, and we may have the opportunity to profit from it."

"His Royal Highness, I will always try to get a chance to meet with Emperor Shimitsu or Kotaro Hino alone."

Zhu Zhanchang thought for a while: "Well, the things I go out to travel remain the same. Tomorrow I will send a ship back to Daming and stay with the steam merchant ship. You can ask your wife to go back with you first. Things are complicated, and we haven't fully sorted out the clues yet, there is danger, and it's better to let your wife go back first."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

"Also, after I go on the tour, you should stay in Osaka first, and try to meet the Emperor Chengguang alone to see what he wants to do?"

Zhang Xianqi said worriedly, "Your Highness, is it really okay for you to go by yourself?"

"No way, I can only trust you in this matter."

Zhang Xianqi saluted respectfully: "Wei Chen will live up to His Highness's trust."

Looking at the back of Zhang Xianqi leaving, Zhu Zhanchang sighed helplessly. Zhu Zhanchang really didn't want to bring Zhang Xianqi in this matter. After all, he has been an ambassador to Dongying for so many years, and it has been very hard to do his best. It was very dangerous when I came here. When I came out, I never thought that I would be able to go back safely. I have suffered a lot over the years.

As for Zhu Yunwen's matter, once it is involved, if Zhu Di finds out about this matter, he will surely silence all the officials who know about it. Zhu Zhanchang cannot let Zhang Xianqi go to this point.

So about Zhu Yunwen, now only he and Zhang Xianqi know about it, Yang Lu and others can't know, Jinyiwei Anzhuang can't know, not even Hei Snake Princess.

"Can I really solve this matter quietly?" Zhu Zhan asked himself in such a complicated situation. He was really worried that he could not handle it well.

The next day, Zhu Zhanchang arranged for a warship to bring Zhang Xianqi's wife back to Daming first, and notified the Guangzhou government to open ten merchant ships to go directly to the port in Datian City.

Zhu Zhanchang also changed the itinerary. He did not plan to travel slowly in the mountains and waters, but set off directly from Osaka to Daejeon.

Ikyu Zongchun didn't know why Zhu Zhanchang changed his mind and went directly to Daejeon, but Ashikaga Yoshihide and Ashikaga Yoshichi didn't say anything. He naturally had no opinion. He was a guide and escort.

Ashikaga Yoshihide accompanied him, while Ashikaga Yoshihide needed to go back to Kyoto, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with. He said that Emperor Guangxi was injured and could not move, so he was recuperating in Osaka.

Everyone parted ways, and Ashikaga Yoshihide asked Ashikaga Yoshihide to follow Zhu Zhansi, and he would not appear to go to Daejeon to receive it until the merchant ship reached the port of Daejeon.

It is said that the reason for the deliberate injury of Emperor Mitsuyuki is to stay in Osaka. After all, Ashikaga Yoshihide needs to deal with many things as a general. It is impossible to stay in Osaka all the time. He needs to go back to Kyoto. It must be much easier to be around Ashikaga Yoshihide.

And because of the existence of Zhu Zhan, a large part of Ashikaga Yoshihide's energy will be allocated to Zhu Zhan, which also gives him more freedom in disguise.

Early in the morning on the third day, Zhu Zhanchang stretched out at the door of the place where he was staying, with a lazy posture, he said to Zongchun Yixiu who had been waiting at the door: "Master Yixiu is leaving today, the scenery food in Osaka. It's all good, I'll stay for two more days next time I come."

The three Dongying geisha came out from the back of the conversation, which was accepted last night in order to confuse Ashikaga Yoshichi. After playing the guessing game for half the night, Zhu Zhanchang always had a very selfless spirit of devoting himself to the country.

Yixiu Zongchun looked at the geisha who left with envy. These geishas usually spend a lot of money on their own, but Zhu Zhanchang didn't spend money for three nights this night, so how could he not be envious?
Ashikaga Yoshio came a little late, and went to prepare horses and carriages for Zhu Zhanqi. Dongying was smaller in everything, even the carriage. Zhu Zhanqi was not used to sitting.

Zhu Zhanchang got into the carriage and set off.

After Zhu Zhanzhen set off, Ashikaga Yoshichi explained some things to the person in charge of Osaka, and then set off and returned to Kyoto.

After these people left, Osaka Castle seemed to return to its former tranquility.

In Huang Huang's residence, Zhang Xianqi came again.

He came in the name of condolences to Emperor Yu, but when he was talking to Emperor Shiguang, there were already people watching. These are people of Ashikaga Yoshichi, so I can only say a few words, but this time The main purpose of coming here is not to think about being able to achieve solitude, and what is the ultimate purpose of obtaining Zhu Zhanchang, who is called the Emperor Guangyi, who will give Zhu Zhanchang the treasure of congealing life.

Instead, he told Emperor Shiguangyi and Kotaro Hino that Zhu Zhanchang let himself stay in Osaka Castle, no matter what, even if they said they were most worried and taboo, they could tell him that he was Zhu Zhanchang's spokesperson, let him know. They don't have any scruples.

He believes that since Emperor Guangyi will hand over the Ningming Divine Treasure, there must be other plans. Since I can't think of a way, let them find a way to see me.

……

The things Zhu Zhanchang encountered in Dongying were extremely headaches. Zhu Zhanji in Daming was not idle during this time, and the heavy troops were placed in Shandong. How could Zhu Gaojiao not understand what it meant? For the memorial, let officials from Zhejiang and Fujian submit the memorial together. The one who participates in the memorial is that the prince is addicted to pleasure and pleasure, and the prince is not good at managing the Western Regions and the North Desert.

The Western Regions and the Northern Desert were just conquered. In order to develop well, the imperial court allocated a lot of money. The Western Regions were a little better. King Jinhan still tried his best, but the Northern Desert has many forces and complex human figures. , there are many local people who are obsessed with yin and yin, and all these things are on Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Di is now a hands-off shopkeeper, and handing over everything to Zhu Gaochi is also to see if he can handle such a large territory and various complicated matters.

Of course, these things can't be handled very well in a short time, so Zhu Gaojiu seized on this point and continued to play, and gave Zhu Xi a blow.

Zhu Gaojiu has changed his temper, and it is really useful to use Chaotang all the time. The biggest effect is to make Zhu Gaochi extremely upset. When he is overwhelmed by those political affairs, he has to face Zhu Gaojiu's constant attack. Eat a bowl less, no appetite.

Zhu Zhanji was dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoji. Although Zhu Gaochi persuaded him many times not to have common knowledge with Zhu Gaoji, their family must keep a low profile now, but where Zhu Gaochi's character could persuade Zhu Gaochi, he began to constantly confront Zhu Gaoji.

Zhu Gaojiu captured Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji launched his power to give Zhu Gaojiu a book.

In this way, there is nothing else going on in the nearest court, that is, the two sides continue to attack each other, intensifying and fiery, and those who have a clear mind to protect themselves will not say anything.

For a time, there was a smog in the hall, and there was no time to discuss business affairs. This made Zhu Gaochi want to deal with those political affairs and no one paid attention. Everyone's mind was on the dispute between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaojiu.

After all, no one can give in in the national dispute.

Zhu Gaochi was helpless, so he didn't care about Zhu Gaoji. He was not afraid of shadows. Zhu Gaoji had nothing to do with his private life. Once he was disturbed by Zhu Zhanji, he couldn't control it now.

Zhu Zhanji's character can't be so angry, and he also wants to see those people who are standing on Zhu Gaojiu's side and distinguish the enemy from me.

Daming is also a time of ups and downs, and it is indeed right for Zhu Zhanchang to hide Jianwen's matter and not report it. If there is another Jianwen matter at this time, Daming's court will be a mess.
