Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 196

The news from Mengzi came back to Liuqiu, and Feng Yibo immediately sent troops to the southwest of Liuqiu.

Without any effort, the whole Liuqiu will be occupied.

The eastern part of Penghu was completely blocked by the Liuqiu Fleet. The Penghu Consolation Envoy was frightened and led people back to Quanzhou overnight.

Immediately, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other southeast coasts received notifications one after another.

The Black Dragon King of the East China Sea officially declared the establishment to be the king in Liuqiu!

To the east of Penghu, to the south of Waguo, and to the north of Cebu.

Including Liuqiu, Xiaoliuqiu, Cebu, and Luzon, all belong to the Black Dragon Mansion.

Among them, many islands such as Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu in the north belong to Liuqiu Prefecture.

All the areas controlled by the Sibanians in the original sea of ​​Nanyang, including Cebu, Luzon and many other islands, were merged into Luzon State.

The Black Dragon Mansion belongs to the land of two states, and the name of the country is Donghai!

The news rushed to Nanjing and the capital in the form of secret letters, memorials, and urgent reports from eight hundred miles.

Although the folks are still unclear about this, the name of the Black Dragon Mansion in the East China Sea has already resounded through the upper echelons of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Among the government and the opposition, both civil and military hold their own opinions.

Some believe that Liuqiu is part of Penghu Xuanweisi.

Troops should be dispatched immediately.

Some people think that both Liuqiu and Luzon are overseas enclaves.

Not worth the effort.

Just when the news had just reached the capital and had not yet been formally discussed in the court meeting.

Feng Yibo had already quietly returned.

Unhurriedly, he passed on the memorial that he had already prepared.

Only half an hour later, this memorial was on the imperial case of Emperor Jingshun.

Moreover, it was Zhang Songyue who personally served it.

Because along with the memorial, there are two extremely important documents!

One is the letter of credence requested by the Black Dragon King of the East China Sea who is now in the limelight!

The other one is a picture.

It is the map of the territorial waters and land of the East China Sea!

To be honest, when they saw this letter of credence, the cabinet bosses were all in a daze.

Before that, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were still troubled by the affairs of the East China Sea, and they had even forgotten about Feng Yibo's consolation in the past.

Now that this matter has not yet come out with a regulation, Feng Yibo has already settled it.

And it's not a general appeasement, but a surrender!

Normally, the establishment of an overseas country should be granted first.

Obtaining the seal of the Great Wei Emperor represents the confirmation of the vassal relationship.

It is becoming a vassal state of the Great Wei that can carry out tribute trade.

That is the relationship between monarch and minister.

But surrender is not a vassal, but an offering of soil!

This is not the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, but directly joining the internal control of the Great Wei.

In other words, after the annexation, the East China Sea Kingdom will be gone!

Yes, it's just the new state capital of the Great Wei.

Or Jiji state.

The cabinet leaders, including Zhang Songyue, were all at a loss.

Only Liu Zheng, who was following Zhang Songyue, was secretly excited.

This dear friend of mine will make new contributions.

It seems that I have to rise up too!
Otherwise, he will be pulled down by him!
No matter how this matter is handled, it is not the cabinet's discretion.

So Zhang Song went to the palace more hurriedly, begging to see Emperor Jingshun.

I will present Feng Yibo's memoir, as well as the letter of credence and the map of the Black Dragon King.

After watching it, Emperor Jingshun first showed surprise on his face,

But then fell into doubt again.

"Teacher, this must be a good thing, but I always feel that there is something strange."

Although Wei has not yet determined whether to conquer the East China Sea, after all, it involves Liuqiu's ownership.

But in fact, overseas regime changes are not uncommon.

Including Manchuria, Luzon and other countries have changed hands, and similar incidents have been frequently staged.

Da Wei did not intervene in this.

Only after the dispute subsides, the winning party submits a letter to surrender.

Dawei will be canonized again.

Basically, unless the civil strife in the overseas kingdom is not settled.

Dawei needs to wait for a result.

The rest of the time, there are very few disapprovals.

The attributable is different.

Looking through the history books, most of them are small inland countries.

Or a foreign race brings up the family to attach.

The hasty establishment of the country like this also occupied a piece of territory that originally belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Absolutely unprecedented.

This is the reason why Emperor Jingshun is absolutely strange.

It was too coincidental and too hasty.

However, for whatever reason.

For Dawei, this is a good thing, a big thing.

It's a great thing!

Such a great thing is in front of you, as if a huge pie fell from the sky.

Emperor Jingshun was even in a daze.

The master and apprentice were silent for a long time before Zhang Songyue uttered:
"Could it be that he originally wanted to belong to the king?"

The meaning of these words is obvious, it is to say that the purpose of the Black Dragon King is impure.

First founding the country and then submitting to it is the same routine as rebellion and recruiting.

This is not uncommon in all dynasties.

Especially the Song Dynasty.

The story of the Water Margin has been passed down to this day, and various operas have been sung.

There is no better explanation than this.

"Shut up!"

Emperor Jingshun exhaled a long breath, and solemnly said:
"Teacher, I don't want to care about why he did this, I just know that this is offering soil!"

How could Zhang Songyue not understand, what did Emperor Jingshun mean?
For the imperial court, rebellion and recruiting are just saving time and cost, and wasting money in war.

But the attachment of the Black Dragon King is different!
Take an inappropriate example.

Rebellion and recruiting security are equivalent to housekeeping girls, which are completely internal digestion.

And the founding and attachment of the black dragon comes with a generous dowry!
There was even a dowry that Emperor Jingshun couldn't refuse.

That is, prestige!

Rebellion and recruitment are really internal friction.

And offering soil to belong to is to open up the frontier and expand the land!
What's more, such a gift of soil belongs to him.

That is the image of the heyday of the dynasty!
Just like the prosperous Tang Dynasty, alien races continued to belong to each other.

Although this East China Sea country, to Great Wei.

Not really alien.

Part of the territory that was attached to was originally the Great Wei, and the rest were also overseas enclaves.

But to Emperor Jingshun, the meaning of the matter of surrender alone is far beyond the land he offered!
Because, from Great Wei Taizu to him.

For the first time, there is the possibility of expanding the territory!

How can you refuse such a matter of stepping away from the ancestors, the most famous Emperor Jingshun?

Even though he knew in his heart that Great Wei was far behind Tang Dynasty!

Although the national power of the Great Wei is considered strong, no matter the population or the territory, it is not a little worse than the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

However, when it comes to national power.

But it was too far away!
Although it will not cause the country to decline, it cannot be said to be prosperous in all aspects.

Officials are extremely corrupt.

Not to mention the sale of officials and nobles, there are also constant party disputes.

On the economic front, the treasury is empty.

Otherwise, there will be no opening for donations.

In terms of Wenhua, there is no achievement.

Even a great Confucianist like Li Shouzhong didn't have any academic achievements.

Externally, barely maintained.

Although the north can suppress foreign races, there are only a dozen vassals paying tribute year after year.

Compared with the Wanguo Dynasty in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is not even a fraction.

From these four aspects, let alone the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Even when Taizu first founded the country, he was stronger than now.

Of course, this is not Emperor Jingshun's fault.

It was a hidden danger left by his father Tiantai Emperor.

Just like the original vassal Luzon.

If it hadn't been for Feng Yibo to take it back, it would have already been the territory of the Haixi Banian people.

Now there is a request from an overseas country to enclose it, how can you let the most famous Emperor Jingshun refuse?
"My lord, I think it's better not to jump to conclusions lightly."

Zhang Songyue can understand Emperor Jingshun's mood, but one of his duties is to dissuade him at this time.

"It's better to meet Feng Yuan first and ask about the specific situation."

When Emperor Jingshun heard it, he remembered Feng Yibo from Shangshu, nodded immediately, and praised:
"After all, it is the teacher who is mature and prudent, and I am a little impatient."

For many years, his emotions and anger have been indistinct, but just now he lost his composure.

It was really this incident that made Emperor Jingshun ecstatic.

What he just showed is not as good as the eleven in his heart!

After sending someone to summon Feng Yibo, Emperor Jingshun still held back his disapproval and said:

"This Feng Yuan is really Yu's blessed general. If this is true, I will definitely surpass him!"

To be promoted is to be promoted by leaps and bounds.

Previously, Feng Yibo leapfrogged the rank twice in a row before reaching the current fifth rank.

Emperor Jingshun said that if he is super promoted, he must at least go one level higher.

That is to say, if there are no twists and turns, Feng Yibo can at least reach the fourth rank this time!
A 20-year-old member of the fourth rank!
Looking at history, it may not be a big deal,

After all, there is Gan Luo who is 12 years old as Shangqing, and no one can surpass him.

But the 20-year-old civil servant of the fourth grade is the first one in Wei Dynasty!
Feng Yibo knew the urgency of this matter, so he handed in the memorial without any delay,
Afterwards, he was not in a hurry to go home, but closed his eyes and rested in the ministry.

The old god is here, waiting for the call from the palace.

Within half an hour of the emergency, a palace official came over.

Feng Yibo followed him to the Linjing Hall, and immediately saluted as soon as he entered the door:

"My lord, my teacher!"

"waived!"

For the first time, Emperor Jingshun barely showed a hint of urgency to his foreign ministers, and said directly:

"Feng Aiqing quickly told me about the trip to the East China Sea. How did the Black Dragon King decide to join?"

"Qizou Shengshang, I am going to the East China Sea, just in time for this Black Dragon King to fight here and there."

Naturally, Feng Yibo had already prepared his speech, and he began to speak unhurriedly after hearing the words.

"He was originally a citizen of our Great Wei, and by chance, he started a career overseas."

He didn't go into detail about his parentage, because that didn't matter.

The important thing is...

"But he has always been devoted to Great Wei. Even though he has been a strongman, he has never been stained with the blood of the people of Great Wei."

Although this is an exaggeration, the reputation of the Black Dragon Mansion is true.

If it is said to be stained with blood, then there must be people from the Great Wei Dynasty.

Otherwise, the Zhen family and others who have connections with Japanese pirates will definitely not accept it.

"The minister also inquired locally, and they all said that he made his fortune by fighting Japanese pirates, and led the people of the Great Wei Dynasty to seek a career in exile."

This can be regarded as paving the way for a birth.

He started out fighting Japanese pirates, and then became an immigrant living overseas.

It's definitely not clean, but it's also innocent.

"The attack on Little Liuqiu and Luzon is also for the sake of the people of Great Wei."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Songyue frowned a little and asked:
"How can Little Liuqiu be considered a citizen of Great Wei?"

Xiaoliuqiu is a vassal of the Great Wei, but it is not considered the territory of the Great Wei.

Of course Feng Yibo knew about this, but he was naturally prepared.

"There are 36 surnames of the Han family in Xiaoliuqiu, all of whom are descendants of our Zhongyuan people. This time, tens of thousands were slaughtered by the Japanese kingdom, and only 24 surnames remain."

Although he is not from the Great Wei, he is of the same origin and race as the Great Wei, and even has the same surname.

This is the teacher who is famous, and he also echoed what he said about fighting against injustice.

"Not to mention Luzon, the original local kingdom has long been lost in the hands of Saipan."

Without Zhang Songyue asking again, Feng Yibo just buy one and get one free.

Talk about Luzon again.

"Later, this group of Western Fans united with the local natives and slaughtered tens of thousands of immigrants from the Great Wei Dynasty."

The two monarchs and ministers who heard this were all "thumped" in their hearts.

Without him, guilty conscience!
Although it is said that noble people often forget things.

But Emperor Jingshun still has some impressions of some things at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.

The tens of thousands of lives of immigrants from Fujian and Vietnam contained too much helplessness of the monarch and his ministers.

They also want to make a name for themselves overseas, but the situation does not allow it.

But how can I forget?

"So after hearing this, the Black Dragon King has accumulated strength for several years, until now the time is right, and he finally calmed down Luzon in one fell swoop."

Both the monarch and his ministers blushed a little when they said this.

I can't help but feel that this Black Dragon King has the ambition to endure hardships.

Although their monarchs and ministers did not forget it, they never mentioned it again.

After listening to it, I will inevitably feel ashamed.

of course.

With the city of the monarch and his ministers, this bit of shame is fleeting.

After hearing this explanation, Zhang Songyue nodded slightly and said:

"In other words, this Black Dragon King is upholding justice for Great Wei Zimin?"

This is to say that the master of the Black Dragon King is famous.

The orthodoxy of the Central Plains pays most attention to these things.

Although the war of destroying the country, there must be a name.

Only in this way can there be an explanation to other vassals.

Not to mention far away, the Lord Shang of Xiaoliuqiu is still in Wa Kingdom.

If it is released by the Wa Kingdom, Xiaoliuqiu will already belong to the Great Wei.

Definitely have to go to Dawei to ask for clarification.

At that time, it can be said that Xiaoliuqiu has already destroyed the country, and it is the East China Sea country that avenged you.

Later, under the inspiration of Dawei, he joined.

You have destroyed the country, so you can't blame others for your revenge, right?

And what our Great Wei received was the East China Sea country, not the Little Liuqiu country.

That way there is no beginning and end.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the Wa country.

Whoever makes the three parties, they are the ones who will destroy the country for you.

"That's right. Although this person is reckless, he has a heart to serve the country with all his might."

Feng Yibo nodded first, and then began to pave the way for the character image of the Black Dragon King.

This one sentence sets the tone.

Patriotic rivers and lakes.

"When I arrived in Liuqiu, I was immediately warmly received by them."

"Under the persuasion of the minister, the Black Dragon King decided to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and brought his subordinates and the country to join our Great Wei."

"Continue to be a subject of my Great Wei, and guard the East China Sea for my Great Wei!"

This is to say again, although he is attached, he will not hand over power.

Emperor Jingshun frowned when he heard the words, and then relaxed them again.

This is also normal.

Even if you offer soil and surrender, it doesn't mean you have to let go of everything.

But no matter what, in name it belongs to Da Wei.

But Emperor Jingshun immediately thought of another question.

"That being the case, why did he found the country?"

Attachment is direct attachment, and after the establishment of a country, it is somewhat superfluous.

This is what Zhang Songyue has been wondering about.

When Feng Yibo heard this question, he immediately saluted and said:
"Please forgive me for this matter, this is my idea."

"What? Your idea?"

Emperor Jingshun and Zhang Songyue looked at each other, and they both saw the puzzlement in each other's eyes.

"Not bad!"

Feng Yibo nodded, and then said righteously:
"Your Majesty, I don't have any other intentions, but for the sake of my great Wei, I strongly persuade the Black Dragon King to establish a country first, and then submit!"
