Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Latest website:

In the spring of the twelfth year of Yongle.

The holiday has not yet passed, and the entire imperial capital is still immersed in the joy of the Spring Festival.

It's just that there are two people who have been very unhappy since years ago.

One of them was named Yang Shiqi, the first of the three future virtuous ministers of the Ming Dynasty; the other was named Huang Huai, the first chief minister of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, both of them were sitting in the lobby of the Han Dynasty with trepidation, waiting for the Han Dynasty King Zhu Gaoxu to come and lecture.

These two important ministers of the early Ming Dynasty, who have been famous for centuries, have all had their prominent official positions wiped out by the Prince of the Han Dynasty, and will soon be sent to Jiugang Xuanweisi and other overseas barbarian places.

Although being an official is still an official, and the two of them are respectively appointed as the left and right envoys, they are from the second rank of the feudal officials. If we really talk about it, this official will not be demoted but promoted.

But this damn thing is not in the Ming Dynasty, but in the overseas barbarian land of Jiugang Xuanweisi!

Where is the Xuanwei Department in Jiugang?

This ghost place is located in Palembang in the south of Sumatra Island, south of Champa, five days away, also known as Srivijaya.

Originally, there was a country called Srivijaya on the island of Sumatra. However, before Zheng He's first voyage to the West, the Kingdom of Java sent troops to destroy the ancient kingdom of Srivijaya, which directly caused local chaos.

And because the land in Sumatra is fertile, many Han people who went to Southeast Asia settled there and engaged in rice production, resulting in a large number of Han people here.

When Zheng He made his first voyage to the West, overseas Chinese businessman Shi Jinqing assisted Zheng He's fleet in sailing here.

During this period, Zheng He used a trick to get rid of the pirate leader Chen Zuyi. Shi Jinqing also participated in pacifying Chen Zuyi's pirate army. After that, Shi Jinqing sent his son-in-law to the Ming Dynasty to meet the emperor.

The emperor was so happy that he conferred the title of Shi Jinqing on Jiugang to announce the history. From then on, Jiugang became the first overseas enclave far away in Southeast Asia in the history of the Central Plains Dynasty.

When he thought of the Xuanwei Department in Old Port, Yang Shiqi felt very sad and felt regret for the first time in his life.

If he had not spoken out against the King of Han that day, he might not have suffered this unreasonable disaster.

He has obviously entered the cabinet and holds an important position. He only needs to wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Then Yang Shiqi can realize his political ambitions and reshape the power of the prime minister through the cabinet!

The result was good now. Not only was he expelled from the center of the court, but he was also exiled overseas.

God knows if Yang Shiqi will ever have the chance to return to the Ming Dynasty and rejoin the court in his lifetime!

Huang Huai on the side was also a little restless, sighing at his ill-fated official career.

Before Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han Dynasty, gained power, he was so proud that he was the first minister in the cabinet and was deeply favored and respected by the emperor.

As a result, the thief Prince Han targeted him many times after he took charge of the country. Until now, he had wiped him clean and exiled him to a barbarian land overseas to govern!

A place like Old Port, far away overseas, is a barbarian land. Why should he and Yang Shiqi set up a hammer government?

Besides, the Xuanwei Department is a kind of military-focused supervision agency between provinces and states. It is generally used in border areas to establish military and civilian Xuanwei Departments and other institutions for supervision and rule.

In other words, in such places, the policy of using barbarians to control barbarians and governing according to their customs is adopted, allowing the natives to manage the natives themselves, and the court is just in name.

Huang Huai and Yang Shiqi, two scholars, suddenly went to a place like that to govern. Only the devil would give them face. They might be chopped into pieces by the native barbarians one day!

Thinking about it, Huang Huai couldn't help but feel sad, and he was about to start sobbing again.

Just at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu strode in with a spring breeze-like smile on his face.

I'm sorry, you two. There is a new little princess in the palace, and she just pissed on me, so I'm a little late.

Seeing that Prince Han was in a good mood, Huang Huai and Yang Shiqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least the Prince of Han called them here today, and they were not here to be scolded and angered.

After thinking about this, the two of them also congratulated Zhu Gaoxu knowingly, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely harmonious.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Gaoxu asked with a smile: It has been so long since the last political discussion, you two should also want to understand why I asked you to go to Old Port, right?

Upon hearing this, the two of them were stunned and did not react.

Why let's go to the Old Port?

Because you are a dog!

If you get the chance, exile us two to death!

Do we need any more reason to unite the party and eradicate dissidents?

The dog thief Zhu Gaoxu is just adding salt to the wounds of the two of them!

Yang Shiqi sighed and asked bravely: May I ask His Highness the King of Han, what do you mean by this?

Zhu Gaoxu was immediately disappointed when he heard this. He thought that Husky should have some knowledge about what to do and not be as stupid as Huang Huai.

However, it turns out that he still thinks highly of Yang Shiqi.

A literati is a literati, and Cheng Zhu is still the same Cheng Zhu. Even if Yang Shiqi is an outstanding figure in the world, he cannot break away from Cheng Zhu's shackles!

That's all, I'll just keep it simple.

In your eyes, the Old Port Xuanwei Division may be some kind of overseas barbarian land, but have you really understood it?

Crops in Nanyang, especially rice, have unique advantages. The land there is fertile and there are no four seasons. Rice can be harvested three times a year!

Rice crops three times a year. You two should understand what this means, right?

Two people: !!!

Three crops a year!

How can this be?

You must know that the fundamental reason for the heavy taxes in Jiangnan is because the land in Jiangnan is fertile and rice is harvested twice a year. It is known as the land of fish and rice!

Damn it, Nanyang rice can be harvested three times a year!

If the imperial court controls the entire Nanyang land, wouldn't it create a super large granary that is even richer than Jiangnan out of thin air? !

Yang Shiqi was shocked and his eyes turned blood red.

Because he saw an opportunity, an opportunity for him to return to the court, enter the center, and display his political ambitions!

As long as he does a good job in Old Port and builds it into another land of plenty, then Yang Shiqi can definitely rely on his outstanding achievements to return to the court and step into the center!

However, the only hidden danger is that Han and Yi people live together in the old port area, and those Han people have no sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty at all.

He and Huang Huai, two scholars, went there, but they were afraid that they were weak-minded. It would be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!

Thinking about it, Yang Shiqi immediately raised this hidden danger, but unexpectedly provoked a burst of laughter from Prince Han.

Yang Shiqi, Yang Shiqi, you are so smart and confused for a while!

Who told you that only the two of you are going? I asked you two to go to Jiugang to comfort the Secretary-General. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net didn't ask you two to die!

In addition to you two chief envoys, you can choose a group of like-minded students, supervisors, and officials to go with you. As long as they are willing, there is no limit to the number, the more the better!

And for the sake of your safety, I will also deploy troops from three guard posts to accompany you and protect your administration in Old Port!

Hearing this, Yang Shiqi and Huang Huai were as happy as if they had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.

If it is true as His Highness the King of Han said, then not only are they not alone, but they are frontier officials with real power!

The three guards have a total of more than 16,000 people. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are at least 10,000 soldiers who can go into battle to kill the enemy!

The Ming Dynasty had 10,000 soldiers. Not to mention the small area of ​​​​Jiugang, if we work hard, we might be able to conquer the entire Nanyang!

And there is no limit to the number of other civil servants. As long as they can recruit them, they can take away a large number of people!

When they thought of this, the two of them looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

This is really a loss, but a gain in the east!

Yang Shiqi then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, His Royal Highness, King of Han, is this true? As long as they are willing to accompany me and the two of them to the old port to govern, as many as they can go, and there is no limit to the number of people?

Yes, that's it. A strange smile appeared on Zhu Gaoxu's face, As long as you have the ability, even if Yang Rong and other court officials are willing to follow you, I will never stop you!

Damn it, I wish you could take all those Cheng and Zhu scholars away, so that I won’t be upset after the new learning is implemented!

Yang Shiqi was in great ecstasy and didn't even notice the weird smile on Prince Han's face.

All he knew was that His Highness the King of Han had pointed out a clear path for the two of them today!
