The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 432: Farewell Instructions

Chapter 432: Farewell Instructions
It is indeed feasible to cross the Pacific Ocean from Japan to America.

However, the difficulties and obstacles that need to be overcome cannot be explained in just a few words!
There is no route, no nautical chart, no clear idea of ​​the conditions along the way, and no idea where the magical continent is. Any detail, big or small, could destroy the entire fleet and cause everyone to be buried in the belly of the fish!
This is where the real danger lies!
Of course, Tang Hao knew all these principles.

But since we have come to the Ming Dynasty, we must do something for the people.

"Now that the Mongolian forces have been defeated, the Mongolian prince has been beheaded and displayed to the public. The Ming army and the people are united and no longer fear the Mongolian barbarians."

"Next, Your Majesty, you only need to be responsible for doing the things I mentioned earlier. Because I will not take the combat troops with me, I will only take some of the elite troops and the Shandong Navy. Xu Tianci will take over my temporary command of the troops!"

"But what if you never come back?" Zhu Houzhao asked subconsciously.

You know, these days, traveling to sea is actually extremely dangerous.

For example, when traveling to the sea, there are water channels, sand lines, sunken reefs, mud bottoms, stone bottoms, deep and shallow water, etc. This is a very complicated and detailed account. If you cannot master it, you will not be able to navigate in the sea. You don’t know how you will die while sailing, you will only be buried in the belly of the fish!
There were more than 27,800 people in total when the Sanbao eunuchs sailed to the West. Every time the fleet went to sea, it would be good to have more than half of them back. Most of them died on the ship and encountered all kinds of things. Crisis and danger.

When encountering a storm at sea, how can the sea route, the sealed ship, and the passengers achieve highly consistent coordination to get rid of danger, escape from the predicament, and avoid the tragedy of shipwreck and death? Does Tang Hao know this?

"Savage, anyone can go, but you can't go!"

His Majesty the Emperor said decisively: "The situation in the Ming Dynasty is very good now. It can be said that everything has been revived and recovered, but this is all due to your military suppression!"

"Once you leave the Ming Dynasty, these gentry will show up again. Can Xu Tianci, your arrogant and brave generals, suppress them?"

This is the simplest question.

Xu Tianci really couldn't suppress the other generals of the Beijing Army!
In the entire Ming Dynasty court, only Tang Hao could do this.

But the problem is that in the entire Ming Dynasty, only Tang Hao knew the details of America, and he was the only one who had seen what potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and peppers looked like!
Therefore, he had to lead the navy personally.

"Your Majesty, these grains are very important to our Ming Dynasty."

"If we bring it back one day earlier, we can save thousands of more people!"

"Besides, I will be at sea for two to three years at the fastest, or four to five years at the slowest. It's not like I will never come back. Your Majesty, can't you suppress those arrogant soldiers and generals in such a short time?"

Tang Hao asked back with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly in excitement.

"What if you never come back?"

"What will you do if you leave me alone?"

"How do we face this court of civil and military officials?"

Tang Hao was startled when he heard this, then he smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are now the most powerful person in the world, and your words are followed by laws. Your imperial prestige is comparable to that of Emperor Taizong Wen, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Even if the civil officials and gentry show up again, they will behave themselves if we kill some and dismiss some."

"These scholars are mean at heart. If you hurt them, they will be obedient and lick their wounds quietly, waiting for the next Ming emperor to appear, and then they will make a comeback. This was the case during the reign of Emperor Xianzong."

After a pause, Tang Hao mentioned military honors.

"As for the Honor of Arms, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much."

"Generals Tang Mu, An Guo, Xu Tianci, Deng Boyan and others are all loyal to Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. If Your Majesty is worried, you can place Jinyiwei beside them. If there is any unusual movement, you can kill them or abolish them. Don't worry about the old friendship!"

In this era, ambitious military officials are more terrifying than civil officials.

Because An Guo, Tang Mu and other military heroes hold the power of the army. Not to mention starting a rebellion, they have their own army and turned the nine frontier military towns into their own exclusive vassal towns, just like the Mu family's dominance of Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty, and Li Chengliang's exclusive control of Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty. They have become a tail that cannot be eliminated by the court!

Therefore, no emperor would take military honors lightly.

"In addition, the reason I am going to sea this time is not to explore some mysterious continent. I am just leading the army to Jeju Island and Japan as usual. If the news doesn't leak out, they will naturally not dare to rebel!"

This is a problem of information asymmetry.

After all, Japan has now become a slave state of the Ming Dynasty, and the exchanges between the two countries are closer than before.

Even if Duke Xin Tang Hao went to Japan to garrison the country, he would only be back in a few months. Do they still dare to rebel?

Even though Tang Hao left the Ming Dynasty, his influence still remains!
No one dared to look down on him, the most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty!

"So, under the pretext of a rebellion in Japan, the imperial court sent Duke Xin to lead troops to quell the rebellion. Japan was under full martial law, and the war lasted for two or three years. This is also normal, isn't it?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Tang Hao in a daze.

This damn savage has planned and calculated everything!
He had long been thinking about leaving and exploring that magical continent!
"Why do you have to go?" Zhu Houzhao roared angrily.

"Can't you see that I am worried about your safety? I don't want you to take risks for the Ming Dynasty anymore?"

"Savage, you have done enough for our Ming Dynasty. There is no need for you to risk your life to explore that magical continent..."

Tang Hao looked at the emotionally agitated Emperor, and for the first time ever, he stood up and walked forward, hugging him.

Zhu Houzhao was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

"You know, those crops are very important to our Ming Dynasty, so I have to go!"

"Only if I go can I hope to bring these crops back to Ming!"

After a pause, Tang Hao smiled and patted Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder.

"Be a good emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not for anything else, only for the Ming Dynasty and the people!"

"I hope that after I come back, I can see a prosperous Ming Dynasty. That way my life will not be in vain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao turned around and left.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him.

"Savage, listen to me, you must come back safely!"

"If not, I will abolish your title and beat your son!"

Tang Hao paused when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.

"Just try it if you dare!"

After Tang Hao walked away, Zhu Houzhao slumped down on the dragon throne.

"Savage, savage, how can I repay you for what you have done to me?"

"Zhang Yong, pass on the decree. Japan is in rebellion. Duke Xin is ordered to lead the troops to Japan to quell the rebellion. I will lead all the civil and military officials to cheer Duke Xin on...!"
