Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 206 Japanese pirates attack
  "Leave those Japanese pirates to your good grandson!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang considered it in the end, he agreed to Zhu Xuan's request.

Anyway, with the Yingtian ship here, even if it cannot be defeated, it is impossible for the Japanese warships to catch up if they want to escape, and there are also those divine cannons, which are impossible to defeat.

Since his good grandson likes to go to sea and fight so much, Zhu Yuanzhang will fulfill his little wish.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Xuan said happily: "Actually, overseas is still an opportunity for our Ming Dynasty. Those officials who may be from the coast dare to risk smuggling because they can get huge profits from overseas trade. Even if the sea ban is abandoned, the Ming Dynasty's porcelain, tea, etc. Sold overseas, it is not as expensive as it is now, but the income is still considerable, and the emperor's official business can also control part of the overseas trade."

Zhu Yuanzhang's concept of overseas affairs was nothing other than Japanese pirates. After hearing what Guaisun said, he asked: "Is overseas trade really so profitable?"

Zhu Xuan said: "When my grandson was in Annan, he saw some ships smuggled by our Ming Dynasty. They traded with merchants from other small overseas countries and made a lot of money. Porcelain, tea, silk cloth, etc. are very popular overseas. , which can be exchanged for a lot of silver and gold.”

If there were really huge profits, Zhu Yuanzhang would be moved.

The previous Ming Dynasty was so poor that it was crazy.

Today's Ming Dynasty, under the guidance of Zhu Xuan, has reformed many things and can live a prosperous life, but this is not enough. Zhu Yuanzhang also hopes that Ming Dynasty will become more and more prosperous and the people can live a better life.

However, when doing private business, he was worried that he would not be able to control the people and would not be able to keep up with the cultivation of grain. However, using official means to trade overseas and use the money earned to benefit the people seemed pretty good!
  "After hearing what my dear grandson said, our hearts are moved."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Zhu Xuan felt that under his various subtle influences, the emperor's grandfather was more and more yearning for overseas, and said: "The emperor's grandfather investigates those officials who object. If there are any problems, he will be able to see their property after ransacking their homes. How rich it is, it’s all earned through smuggling, this is the best proof.”

The fact that officials from North Korea and China dared to take risks to smuggle goods shows that Ming Dynasty products have an extremely broad overseas market.

At the same time, we can bring overseas things back to Daming and sell them.

If this continues, it will be difficult for Ming Dynasty to be poor.

"Let's think about it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said heartily.

Seeing Grandpa Huang's attitude towards overseas affairs, Zhu Xuan understood that it was almost stable and put the matter aside for the time being.

When the Japanese revenge comes, Zhu Xuan can go to sea again to attack the Japanese pirates.

The sea of ​​stars is waiting ahead.

-

More than half a month has passed.

Jin Yiwei's investigation finally came to fruition.

Zhu Yuanzhang once again proposed opening up the sea in the court. Those who opposed the most fiercely jumped out again and severely criticized the liberalization policy, saying that it was useless.

"Look at what we found out recently."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry. He looked at them and smiled coldly.

Yun Qi handed the things that Jin Yiwei had found out to them. Before the officials could finish reading them, they suddenly fell to the ground in cold sweat.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "We are still very curious as to why you are so fiercely opposed. It turns out that you are taking advantage of our sea ban to smuggle profits behind the scenes. As long as the sea ban is not lifted, the Ming Dynasty's products will become more expensive overseas, right? ?”

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

One of the officials knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.

The other officials all kowtowed and admitted their mistake, and their foreheads were bruised.

The remaining ministers in the main hall felt the murderous intention coming from Zhu Yuanzhang, and couldn't help but trembled. They understood that this time they were going to kill again. His Majesty had not killed anyone for many years.

"Drag it down, peel it off and hang it on the city gate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang added: "All the three tribes will be registered as lowly, and then their homes will be confiscated and filled into the national treasury!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me..."

They are still kowtowing.

His forehead was not only pierced but also swollen. Zhu Yuanzhang showed no reaction at all. The guards in royal robes came up and dragged them out directly.

"We haven't killed anyone for a while, so you think our blade is weak, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and the murderous intent in his eyes faded a little, and then said: "Is there anything else to report?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xu Huizu came out and said respectfully: "Some time ago, your Majesty ordered me to contact the old troops of Zeng Fang Guozhen and others. I contacted some of them. Those people are almost dead, and there are still some who are not dead. They are all very old. Their descendants Not many people expressed their willingness to come back.”

People always have the idea of ​​returning to their roots after falling leaves.

Especially the old people, who have been wandering at sea for so many years, it is normal for them to want to come back.

Just as Guaison said, they are still willing to come back.

But it’s not clear yet whether he is sincerely willing to come back.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then bring the person back and keep him under strict supervision. If he dares to cause trouble after he returns, he will be killed directly and continue to contact other people."

Xu Huizu said loudly: "Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Is there anything else? If not, just retreat from the court!"

"Your Majesty...urgent military situation!"

At this time, a Qianhu member of the Jinyi Guards hurriedly ran in from outside, panting: "Urgent military information from the Shandong Chief Secretary and the Liaodong Dusi District Guard Station!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Send it up quickly."

Jiang Wei took it and sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Looking through it, it says that there are probably a large number of Japanese pirates invading the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, especially Shandong and Liaodong, which are the closest places to the Japanese country. This time, the number of Japanese pirates intruding is even greater than before, and the scale is larger. big.

This is obvious revenge.

My dear grandson guessed it right again!
  After Zhu Yuanzhang read the military situation, he said angrily: "The Japanese pirates have come to invade our coast of the Ming Dynasty again. What do you think we should do?"

Hearing that the Japanese pirates were coming again, the officials in the main hall temporarily became quiet.

"His Majesty!"

Ru Chang, the current minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Judging from the current situation, the only way to avoid the intrusion of Japanese pirates is to move the people along the coast further inland and let the Japanese pirates escape."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "You want us to bow our heads and admit defeat to the Japanese pirates?"

"I dare not!"

Ru Chang said in fear.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Today we can move ten miles inland, but tomorrow the Japanese pirates will dare to invade another ten miles inland. If we do this several times, then our Ming Dynasty coastal area should be given directly to the Japanese pirates. Ru Shangshu, don't you think so? ?”

Ru Chang lowered his head and put on his clothes without any wind, knowing that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

Just after discussing the abandonment of the sea ban, he dared to propose relocating the people inland.

What's more, your majesty is right. Blindly giving in will only make the Japanese pirates push forward. The Japanese pirates are greedy and want to occupy the Ming Dynasty.

"Do you think our Ming Dynasty is afraid of the Japanese pirates? Can we bow our heads and admit defeat to the Japanese pirates?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them and asked again.

Those civil servants don't speak, so they are not professionals in how to fight.

Xu Huizu was the first to step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I request you to lead the Ming Navy to go to sea and destroy the Japanese pirates!"

"I request to go to war and go to sea to destroy the Japanese pirates!"

Seeing what Xu Huizu said, Chang Sheng, Li Jinglong, Fu Youde's son Fu Zhong and others said in unison.

The Huaixi nobles have not yet been liquidated, and Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others are still alive. Of course, their sons can also serve as officials in the court or as military generals.
