Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 656: The main force of the navy is ready to go. The generals decide on a surprise attack strategy.
Zhu Qiyu drew on the ideas of vassal reform in the late Ming Dynasty.When the number of clan members increased sharply in the later period and exceeded the limit of the imperial court, smart ministers came up with the method of limiting the total annual salary.

The imperial court gives a fixed amount of annual salary to the vassals. Anyway, it's just this amount of money. You can allocate it yourself.

When I arrived at Zhu Qiyu's place, I changed it slightly: A county prince's family is given [-] hectares of land, and you can plant it yourself. If the harvest is small, it will be up to you.

The annual salary is waived, and there is no need to torment the court and local officials.

And no matter how many sons you, the prince, give birth to in the future, it is up to the prince himself to decide how to distribute these five hundred hectares of land.

In short, the preferential treatment only reaches the prince level. As for the county prince, just be a pure rich man.

The canonization of county princes has also been tightened. According to the vassal reform regulations of the Jingtai Dynasty, each prince can have one front and two sides, for a total of three princesses.The sons born to the three princesses were granted the title of county king, and the sons of the remaining concubines were granted the title of general of the town.

Especially the extremely fertile clan like Zhou Fan must be restricted.

After spending more than an hour dealing with government affairs, having lunch and taking a nap, Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu and Ningxiang to Dongpo Xuetang, where he gave Zhu Wenfang a lecture.

Ruan Zhu accompanied Zhu Wenfang into the Lingyu Palace from the east gate leisurely.

Zhu Wenfang looked left and right, full of curiosity about this extremely mysterious garden.

Ruan Zhu smiled and said: "Master, please don't run around. The emperor has specially ordered that you can only go to Dongpo Xuetang, and you can't go further to the west."

Zhu Wenfang replied: "I have long heard people say that my father's behavior is ridiculous, forget about everything else. You said that my majestic eldest son can't even enter the house of his biological parents, which is really ridiculous. "

Ruan Zhu smiled and said: "In the emperor's own words, he and his ladies do many indescribable things at home. There are too many items in the emperor's bedroom that cannot be seen by outsiders, so no one is allowed in or out. Yes, it’s not directed at you, young master.”

"What indescribable thing?"

Ruan Zhu smiled awkwardly: "When I grow up, I will naturally understand. I am a eunuch. If you ask me, I don't know."

The master and the servant walked along the clear stream for a short time before arriving at the Dongpo Snow Hall.

Zhu Wenfang took a closer look at the scenery of the lake and mountains, and then praised: "My father is quite tasteful. There are mountains to the west, lakes to the south and north, and in the middle are five small stone houses made of white marble. In front of and behind the stone houses are vegetable fields and orchards. .

Do you think it looks a bit like Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"? "

Just as Ruan Zhu was about to reply, he heard a teasing voice coming from the stone house: "Huh, at such a young age, I actually know "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". This shows that I really work hard."

The two of them hurriedly entered the room to salute. Zhu Wenfang saluted Zhu Qiyu, and then paid homage to Lin Xiangyu and Ningxiang: "My son, I wish you well."

Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu slapped Zhu Wenfang: "Who is your mother? If you dare to call me my mother again, believe it or not, I will ask your father to hang you up and kill you." Whip you hard."

Zhu Wenfang was extremely aggrieved: "If you don't call me my mother, why don't you call me aunt?"

"Hmph, I hate hearing the word 'old' the most. You are old. It's even worse to call me aunt, so you should call me xiaoniang."

Zhu Wenfang asked: "Then what should I call Xiaoniang?"

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Ningxiang ranks tenth among our sisters. You can call her Shi Niang, Xiao Shi Niang, Shi Xiao Niang or Xiao Niang Niang."

Zhu Wenfang turned her head helplessly and made a face at Ruan Zhu.

Ruan Zhu read her young master's helplessness, and his innocent eyes seemed to say: Hey, I am a fifteen-year-old mother, each one is more indifferent than the other, it is really a nest of bastards, mung beans, snakes and rats.Lin Xiangyu glared at Zhu Wenfang fiercely: "Okay, the ground is cold, please get on the kang."

Zhu Wenfang took off her shoes and got on the kang, got into Ningxiang's arms, and said with a smile: "I'd better let Xiao Shiniang hold her in my arms. Okay, Father, please hurry up and tell me. After you finish speaking, you can return to your mysterious place." The world of six people lives in the palace."

Zhu Qiyu pretended to be angry and asked Ruan Zhu: "Why live in a world of six people? Who spread these bastard words, and who taught Brother Fang?"

Ruan Zhu smiled shamelessly and said, "I vaguely heard it was Mrs. He who said it."

Oh, it turns out it was Xu Wan who was saying bad things about me behind my back. That’s okay. I can’t afford to offend An Guogong’s precious daughter.

It was rare that there were no outsiders, so everyone joked and got down to business.Zhu Qiyu dug out the previous memorials and began to explain to Zhu Wenfang how to govern the country.

……

The Jiaozhou Military Port is busy, and the densely packed ships in the port are all getting ready for departure in an nervous and orderly manner.

The most conspicuous one is a huge warship.This warship is a full circle ahead of the other large ships around it, and it is obviously the flagship of the entire fleet.

In the flagship, Yue Zheng, the governor of Shandong, Lu Yu, the chief envoy to the left, Cui Gong, the chief envoy to the right, Chen Mingde, the Marquis of Xinghan, Zhang Ning, Wuzhong and others were sitting around, expressing their opinions on the map.

The great advantage of these new civil servants and generals in the Jingtai Dynasty is that no one acts arbitrarily and they are all willing to communicate with each other and listen to opinions.

The discussion was going well at first, but when it was Chen Mingde's turn to speak, the Marquis, who was deeply favored by the emperor, proposed an appalling plan:

"In fact, with our current naval strength, while transporting troops to Jeju Island and attacking Tsushima Island from the north and south with Busan, we can also launch surprise attacks and directly attack Kyoto, Japan."

Hearing this, Yue Zheng was the first to shake his head: "It's too risky, and the coast near Kyoto, Japan is well-defended. You can't just land if you say so."

Chen Mingde replied: "It's okay if we don't attack Kyoto directly. We can also land at Sakai Port, which is not far from Kyoto.

There are two main ports for trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty, one is Hakata Port and the other is Sakai Port.

Since Japanese merchant ships can sail from Sakai Port to Daming, we can naturally sail taller and stronger warships to Sakai Port.

Japan's maritime defense focus is mostly concentrated on the west coast.By making a surprise attack on Sakai Port on the east coast, we can take the enemy by surprise and establish a stronghold in one fell swoop. "

Zhang Ning asked: "What happens after the surprise attack is successful? Attack Kyoto? There are at least [-] to [-] defenders in Kyoto. Can we attack it?"

Chen Mingde smiled and said: "Of course, we will build a solid barrier with Sakai Port as the center as the permanent stronghold of the Ming army.

First use our naval warships to transport [-] troops there, and then gradually increase the number of troops.

When the Japanese army came to attack, we would hold on to the fortress and consume the Japanese army's strength.If the Japanese army does not attack, we will continuously invest our strength to make the Sakai Port stronghold impregnable and firmly nailed to the heart of the enemy.

The other route captured Tsushima Island and occupied Hakata Port, forming a trend of dividing Japan. "

Zhang Ning nodded: "Okay, I think we can give it a try. If we still use the Yuan Dynasty's strategy of attacking Japan, Japan has already had a complete response strategy, and we are afraid we won't get any benefits."

　A new volume is here. After finishing this volume, there are still three volumes left before the whole play is over.
