Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 86 86 Who is going to create a new alliance?

The feudal princes also had the right to recruit civil and military officials for their own departments.

And they can exercise full jurisdiction over the actions of these subordinates.

Zhu Di could use harsh punishments according to the instructions to force the people to carry out their orders.

In the palace, vassal princes could sit down when meeting the emperor.

They were also allowed to attend the grand banquets of the court, and they were allowed to visit each other from time to time.

From the perspective of the traditional royal system, most of these privileges are dangerous and excessive.

A perfect precursor to the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty.

Civil servants are willing to treat the feudal king as a pig.

Of course, some ministers had to stand up and restrict the power of the vassal king, pointing their fingers at Lao Zhu's nose and saying that this was a policy that was disruptive to the country.

If the vassal king has more power, he can check and balance foreign ministers.

The ministers have less power.

After listening to Wang Buli's explanation, Zhu Di took a sip of tea and nodded.

He seemed to understand that his father was going to change the name of the Zhongshu Province and create several high-ranking officials these days.

The courtiers should have been happy, but instead they were quarreling again.

"Military advisor, what you said immediately cleared up my confusion."

Zhu Di laughed twice and pointed to Ye Boju lying on the ground:

"But for what he said, it would be considered extrajudicial for my father not to kill his three clansmen."

Wang Buli nodded.

Although it was rumored that Zhu Di killed ten clans every day, Fang Xiaoru's body was collected by his nephew.

Zhu Di is really going to kill the ten clans, and no one will collect the corpses of Fang Xiaoru's nephew, let alone Lao Fang.

"There are always people who think that everyone in the world is drunk and I am alone. I usually stay away from such people!"

"Why?"

King Wu wiped his sweat and wished he could take a bath by the river to cool off, but he felt dirty.

"Lest he be struck by lightning and implicated."

"Hahaha."

Several people laughed, but no one understood the meaning of Wang Buli's words.

Lao Zhu likes to get involved!

Ye Boju was taken away without even a cup of crude tea.

After he met Lao Zhu, he was lucky enough to save the three tribes.

If you have bad luck, then haha.

Lao Zhu is not merciless in killing people.

Wang Buli speculated that Zhu Biao did not speak for Ye Boju, and also thought that he was alienating the royal bloodline and had bad intentions!

Otherwise, Zhu Biao would still give him some face as a famous person in the late Yuan Dynasty.

After watching the prisoner go, Wang Buli put down the tea cup in his hand and said:

"Guo Si, you'd better send someone to find out if there is any news about the Japanese pirate invasion. We can still train troops to fight against the Japanese pirates."

"Japanese pirates?"

When the Ming Dynasty was established, the Japanese country was in the chaotic era of the division of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The feudal princes were separatist and attacked each other.

During the melee, many defeated generals and those who evaded conscription and lost their means of livelihood fled to the sea, gathered on islands, colluded with unscrupulous businessmen, and went to the coast of the Ming Dynasty to carry out armed smuggling, burning, killing and looting.

At the same time, during the process of being annexed by Zhu Yuanzhang, some of the remaining forces such as Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and Chen Youliang who were separatist along the coast fled overseas, colluded with Japanese pirates, and caused trouble in coastal areas.

Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places have been invaded by Japanese pirates for several years. In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to Japan. As a result, the Japanese king ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's warning. In the third year, he sent people to go with the imperial edict. Only in the following year did the Japanese king send people to declare themselves as vassals, pay tribute to horses and gifts, and return the robbed people. More than seventy famous people were plundered.

However, during this period, Japanese pirates invaded from time to time, and the Japanese king was unable to stop the people below.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty led the ships in Wengde to pursue the Japanese pirates to the Ryukyu Ocean, and escorted the prisoners back to the capital and killed them all.

The coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty started from the Yalu River in the north and bordered Vietnam in the south, with a total length of more than 1.4 miles.

In many places, it is impossible to prevent the invasion of Japanese pirates.

In the third year of Hongwu's reign, the Shipping Department of Huangdu City in Taicang was dismissed.

Seven years later, it was ordered that the three shipping departments of Quanzhou in Fujian, Mingzhou in Zhejiang, and Guangzhou in Guangdong that had existed since the Tang Dynasty and were responsible for overseas trade were abolished, and China's foreign trade was cut off.

At present, the sea ban policy that prohibits people from entering the sea has not yet been issued, but there is a policy that people in coastal areas are not allowed to go into the sea privately.

Compared with other brothers, Zhu Di is still talented in military affairs, and he pays little attention to Japanese pirates.

Because although the remaining forces of Beiyuan are far away in Mobei, the threat is still there.

Therefore, the defense of the north is the top priority of Ming Dynasty's national defense construction, which restricts Ming Dynasty's main military, material and financial resources, restricts the construction of coastal defense, and has no intention to develop its navy.

Zhu Di briefly recalled: "I remember that Cao Guogong began to set up seven guard posts in Zhejiang at the end of the third year of Hongwu. He incorporated Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng's remaining soldiers Yu Yong into the coastal guards, totaling more than 50,000 people, and built cities and beacon towers. , used to prepare for Japanese invaders.

At the end of the fourth year of Hongwu, Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai, assigned more than 100,000 people without land and food in Lanxiu Mountain to various military posts to repair castles. Each guard post was equipped with fifty boats to guard against Japanese pirates.

Not only that, in the seventh year of Hongwu, my father appointed Marquis Jinghai as the chief military officer, commanding the four naval forces of Guangyang, Jiangyin, Henghai, and Shuijun, and controlling the garrison troops in Beijing and along the coast.

Every spring, the navy is sent out to patrol the sea, divided into separate routes to guard against Japanese pirates, and each is returned to the garrison in autumn. Our Ming Dynasty has the characteristics of unified command and the combination of divided sea area defense, mobile patrol and near-shore annihilation.

If the Japanese pirates can still be encountered by us through them, Marquis Jinghai will probably be punished! "

Hearing this, Wang Buli could not deny it.

Most of those Japanese pirates were desperadoes, and they would not stop coming just because Daming Ming was prepared.

Otherwise, Lao Zhu would not have ordered the complete cancellation of overseas trade and a complete ban on going to the sea because of the news of repeated ravages of Japanese pirates.

"Would the thief definitely not come if he knew you were prepared?"

Zhu Di was silent.

"They're just going to be more careful, grab the wave and run."

Wang Buli looked up at the bright sun, put on his bamboo hat, stood up and took shelter under the shade of a nearby tree.

Zhu Di sat there and thought for a while.

Send someone to the Coastal Guard Station to inquire about it, just in case he gets hugged.

You can also train troops by killing Japanese pirates, but they are difficult to catch.

Wang Buli took a disguised "sick leave" and no one urged him to go back to work.

You can do whatever you want.

He didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang would send a former inspector to supervise a county official, because his level was not high enough!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang developed a powerful spy system to monitor all officials, Wang Buli was not an official.

Now that I can be regarded as having an affair with a feudal lord, and having more than one affair, there is no need to worry.

At a time when the prince Zhu Biao was at the height of his power, even Zhu Di himself did not have the confidence to be the emperor.

Who will support Zhu Di's ascension to the throne?

Even Zhu Yuanzhang would not have thought that Wang Buli, a small official, could have such thoughts.

Wang Buli has no intention of engaging in "Xinhe Lian Sheng" at the moment. At most, he just wants to strengthen communication with Zhu Di and prove his worth. He will give him a push when it's time to push him.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang conducting surveillance every day, how could he know how to govern the Ming Dynasty?
