Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 366 Selling Ranch Shares

The Qingpao officials obviously did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang was not only not affected by the brutal behavior of the Japanese pirates, but was so angry that he lost his mind.

Instead, he became concerned about the details of my attack.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the guardsmen who went to collect the corpses in two villages found broken Japanese knives in the villages, the folding fans carried by the Japanese pirates, and..."

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted the armrest of the dragon chair again.

Even a fool could tell that the Qingpao officials were blaming the Japanese pirates for the deaths of hundreds of people.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that this man had been deceived. Now he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had to tell the truth about the Japanese pirates' murder.

Or is it simply the same as those who oppose the opening of the sea?

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately summoned a naval force to sweep away the Japanese pirates who were now rampant along the coast.

But now the Ming Navy is just an empty shell.

All the people who can fight in the water have been taken out.

If he raises troops out of anger at this time, Cuncui will be giving heads to this group of Japanese pirates who don't know whether they are real or fake.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with cold light several times.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "According to my decree, all coastal guard posts will strengthen the defense of coastal areas starting from today."

"The Ministry of War will speed up the replacement of wolf guns for Coast Guard troops and strive to complete the replacement of new weapons within half a month."

"After this, if I hear of another common people being harmed by Japanese pirates, all the thousands of households from the guard station here will be sent to Xiaoqi to be imprisoned for questioning."

Without being able to patrol the coastline.

Moreover, when encountering an enemy and being able to defeat the navy, the armaments and defenses of the coastal guard posts should be strengthened.

This was already the best decision Zhu Yuanzhang could make.

And he knew in his heart that even if this group of Japanese pirates were real.

I'm afraid it has something to do with those who oppose the sea ban.

Even if this group of Japanese pirates is annihilated, if the problem of this group of traitors is not solved, the next wave of Japanese pirates will emerge.

However, Hu Yunqiang has not yet explored the specific location of the Japanese Golden Mountain and Silver Island.

It's really not a good time to attack these people.

The officials at the invitation were very surprised by Zhu Yuanzhang's order to passively defend.

However, he and other colleagues from the Ministry of War who remained silent knelt down to accept the order.

After the Japanese pirate attack, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the mood to go around in circles anymore.

He went straight to the point: "Someone suggested to me the day before yesterday that there is a strategy that can permanently eliminate the grassland disaster."

"That is, after the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are eliminated, several large pastures will be rewarded on the grassland, and cattle, sheep, and horses will be regularly transported to the court every year."

"While strengthening the military equipment of the imperial court, it can also provide a way for the grassland people to survive. I wonder what you, my beloved, think?"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were speechless by Zhu Yuanzhang's leaping thinking.

I was still talking about the Japanese pirates just now, but in the blink of an eye I was looking forward to the problems after Bei Yuan was eliminated.

Yushi Tujie, who has been serving his grandson for a long time in the court.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that there was nothing dangerous about this topic.

Then he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the pasture you mentioned is indeed good for my Ming Dynasty."

"But your previous expeditions still broke the courage of Beiyuan. Now they don't fight with our Ming border troops at all."

"With the vastness of the grassland, how difficult is it for our Ming army to find the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who are hiding? If they cannot be eliminated in one fell swoop, the matter of the ranch will be nothing more than empty talk."

"I would also like to ask Your Majesty not to think about such lofty goals, but to focus on solving the Japanese pirates causing trouble along the coast, right?"

Tu Jie advised Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with the Japanese pirates first, which immediately attracted many courtiers to nod in response.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, but waited until the ministers calmed down. , coughed slightly and said: "What Tu Jie said makes sense. It is not easy to find the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who are hiding like mice in the vast grassland."

"However, I happen to have a good plan that can not only solve the problem of finding Bei Yuan, but also bring benefits to the gentry of the world."

The courtiers have always heard Zhu Yuanzhang say the words "both" and "you".

There are always some requests that can be called rude.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty solved the problem himself for the first time and planned to provide benefits to the gentry.

Tu Jie immediately asked: "I wonder what good strategy your Majesty has come up with. Can you tell me?"

"Why not?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and told Lin Che's plan.

"I have decided to sell the shares of the future ranch to the gentry of the world and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were extremely shocked.

Could it be that His Majesty is addicted to doing business?

In the past, it was just a matter of buying and selling shares of the White Sugar Factory with courtiers.

Today, he actually took the invisible pasture and prepared to rob the gentry of their money.

Even the people from the Northern Yuan court were not going to let him go.

Tu Jie felt that he had an opportunity to rebuke him, so he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I ask you to think twice. Bei Yuan is so ambitious that Ming Dynasty and I are sworn enemies."

"How could your Majesty forget the humiliation of the Han people for nearly a hundred years and do business with them because of petty profits?"

This statement won the approval of many courtiers.

Because nowadays, southern ministers account for the majority in the court.

Under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the southerners belonged to the extreme end of the four-class system.

It can be said that the people in the south have suffered all kinds of humiliation.

Many people and the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty hated him to the core.

It is completely unacceptable that the imperial court has any dealings with him other than fighting.

"Hahaha, dear ladies, you have misunderstood."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Tu Jie, and still smiled calmly and explained:

"What I call doing business with Bei Yuan is just to see if there are any righteous people who are Xiang Daming in the Bei Yuan court."

"If they are willing, at the critical moment, they can reveal the location of the Northern Yuan Palace to the court."

"After conquering the grassland, I can leave a pasture for this person. This is the only way they can become a shareholder."

Faced with such a straightforward explanation, the courtiers all understood.

Your Majesty is planning to use scheming to bribe the weaklings in the Northern Yuan court.

To avoid encountering Beiyuan during the Northern Expedition again.

Hundreds of thousands of troops could only stay on the grassland until they ran out of food and grass and retreated without success.

Rather than forgetting the feud between the two parties for the sake of money.

Tu Jie did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always liked to use a majestic formation to crush the Beiyuan army, suddenly started to play tricks on bribery.

He could only lower his head helplessly and said: "I am short-sighted, please don't blame me."

"But I would like to ask Your Majesty, are there any conditions for me, a gentleman of the Ming Dynasty, to purchase shares in the ranch?"

In the past, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty resisted Zhu Yuanzhang's expeditions time and time again.

Even if they are defeated and defeated, they will gather together again after the Ming army leaves.

The biggest reason was that Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of surrendering.
