106: Zhu Yuanzhang: Lao Jiu, how are you going to deal with the brothers of the clan king?

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, the Ming Dynasty had just been established, and it was also in ruins, and the people also needed to rest and recuperate!

For the north, Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy was to build the Great Wall to defend against the Tatar Iron Horse in the north of the desert!

And for the threat at sea, Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to choose a one-size-fits-all approach, simply forbidding anyone to go to sea, and issued ~ the strictest sea ban in the history of the feudal dynasty!

It can be said that a board going into the sea may be convicted of a felony, and in such a situation, such as the coastal areas around Fujian and Lingnan, it will be miserable at first!

Because the southern coastal areas are home to a large number of fishermen who have been fishing for generations, after the ban on the sea, even the survival of these fishermen is difficult to maintain!

And coastal areas such as Fujian and Lingnan have also become the poorest areas in Daming, and even comparable to the people of northern Xinjiang who are often plundered by Mobei Tatars.

Therefore, such as Fujian and Lingnan, it has also become a place that is equivalent to the northern border, so the people who are assigned will go!

For example, if an official of the imperial court is arranged to become an official in Fujian or Lingnan, it is equivalent to being degraded, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a distribution!

All the officials are like this, not to mention the common people living there!

This is the status quo after the Daming Dynasty's ban on the sea was issued!

In fact, this is also a historical problem!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang defeated several big warlords such as Chen Youcheng and Zhang Shicheng, the old departments and remnants of these warlords were not completely eliminated, but entrenched on the East China Sea!

In addition, Dongying was still in the Civil War period, a large number of ronin warriors had no living space in Dongying, and were forced to live at sea, and finally the two parties began to collude and run amok on the sea, often plundering towns along the coast of Daming!

The Hongwu Dynasty alone recorded more than forty times, countless people's villages were ransacked by the Wokou, and the people were brutally slaughtered!

However, for Daming at that time, the imperial court could not solve the problem of plague at all, and could only symbolically send troops to deal with it after the problem occurred!

By the time the imperial army arrived, those wokou would have already returned to the sea and ran away!

"You mean, open the sea route?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly frowned, this question is too sensitive, even if he knows Zhu Li's ability, but in the face of the problem of opening the sea ban, he has to be cautious!

"That's right!"

"It is also imperative to lift the sea ban!"

"The sons and daughters also know the concerns of the father emperor, but Daming can't completely cut off maritime trade just because he is entrenched in the East China Sea!"

"In the near future, the Age of Exploration will come, and maritime trade will also rise, which will bring a steady stream of wealth and development opportunities to the Ming Dynasty!"

"If it continues to close itself off, for Daming, it will undoubtedly be standing still, and Western countries, such as here and some small countries here, will rise rapidly!"

"Since you have dreamed of the future life of Daming, you should know that not only was the middle and late Daming troubles serious, but even the fleets from these Western countries had also fought with Daming!"

"Therefore, Daming cannot be passively beaten, and must take the lead in becoming the hegemon of the sea, and at the same time, it is necessary to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the Wokou!"

Zhu Li nodded and said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and groan.

Indeed, in the process of deducing the line of the fourth old, he also saw some Western countries driving ships to invade Daming!

I also saw the increasingly rampant plague on the southeast coast in the middle and late Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought about how to solve this hidden danger, he didn't know it, since he already knew, he naturally wanted to solve this problem completely.

Zhu Li's words actually spoke to his heart.

But the difficulty of this is a problem that Zhu Yuanzhang needs to consider!

After all, the sea is not better than land, even if it is as strong as Dayuan, when he went to sea to attack Dongying, he was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of people died at sea!

It is okay to attack the Western Regions, it is no problem to attack Mobei, and the resistance of civil and military officials will be much less!

But for going to sea to attack Dongying, you don't need to think about knowing that there will be a large number of officials who will stand up against it!

"What are you going to do?"

For a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and stared at Zhu Li and asked.

"Naturally, we won't rush to sea now, but the preparations must be done!"

"The father should also know that the sons and daughters are planting rubber and also know some uses of rubber. In fact, rubber is also a necessity for going to sea, and the sons and daughters also have to build ships and steam engines!"

"And to build a steam engine ship, you must use rubber, and other materials are better to say!"

"On the one hand, the shipbuilding industry must establish a mature industrial chain, on the other hand, the upgrading of firearms, weapons and equipment are the key to whether the future can dominate the sea!"

Zhu Li explained squarely.

"It's okay, you write a detailed charter out, let's send it to Biao'er, and then let the Ministry of Works cooperate with you, and the existing shipyards in Daming can all be handed over to you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed directly.

But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang blushed a little, mainly because the sea ban has been so long, and these shipyards in Daming have long been abandoned and no longer have their previous glory!

"Son-in-law, thank you Father Emperor!"

Zhu Li didn't care about the old and dilapidated shipyards of the imperial court!

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang can support himself to establish a complete set of shipbuilding industry system, Zhu Li has the ability to quickly develop Daming's shipbuilding industry in a short period of time by himself!

He himself can get a lot of this technology and form an industrial scale, that is just a matter of time!

"If you kid has any ideas in the future, you don't have to hide them, you can tell us." We know that you have big ambitions, we may not be able to give you any advice, but we can at least get the whole Daming to support you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Li with a serious look at this time.

"The children understand!"

Zhu Li nodded, he naturally wouldn't be more polite to Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much to him today!

For Zhu Li, whether it was to move troops to the Western Regions, Mobei or Dongying, it was only a matter of time, but in the previous plan, it would not be implemented until he became the emperor in the future and controlled the entire Daming!

However, at this moment, there is no need to wait until that time, as long as the old man can support him, then he can carry out all these plans in advance!

And it is naturally much better to do it in advance than to do it after more than a dozen years!

Development takes the most time!

"By the way, what do you think should be arranged on the fourth side?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked at this time.

In fact, what worries Zhu Yuanzhang the most now is the fateful battle between the fourth and the ninth old!

In the original history, the fourth was the one who became the emperor!

As a result, the existence of Lao Jiu made the throne of Lao Jiu fall short!

The last thing Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see is such a thing as fratricide!

"Father is worried that the fourth brother will have a disobedient heart and will set his sights on the throne?"

When Zhu Li heard this, he asked straight to the point.

"You also know that Old Fourth is an ambitious person, we have seen his life, and naturally recognize him as a good emperor with great talent!

"You and him are both our own sons, we also want to hear your opinion, if you become the emperor, how are you going to deal with the problem of the fourth elder?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a serious look.

"Father Emperor is right, we are all your sons, and the sons and daughters also know what Father Emperor is worried about. "

"In fact, the problem of the fourth brother can be solved, as long as it can divert his attention, it is not a problem at all!"

Zhu Li smiled and expressed his opinion.

"Distracted?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, his face full of puzzlement.

"You see, Daming is only such a big place now, there will be a vast land in the future, there will be many countries, and there will be many island continents waiting for us to conquer!"

"What is the skill of the nest?"

"Your own people are fighting around, it's better to set your eyes directly on places outside Daming!"

"With the ability of the fourth brother, he is completely able to rely on his own strength to create a large fiefdom of his own!"

"Just as the father said, the fourth brother is an ambitious person, and the fourth brother should also be a smart person!"

"When he clearly knows that he has no chance with that position, as long as you show him a clear way, so that his skills can be used and let him prove his value, then he will naturally not only focus on this position!"

Zhu Li pointed to Ruoda's world map and explained to Zhu Yuanzhang. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

"You mean, let the clan king expand overseas?"

"Let our sons open up territory for us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up!

Isn't it good? Turn internal contradictions directly into external contradictions!"

"Actually, there is no difference between the problems of the clan king and the martial general Xungui!"

"Take the people of Huaixi Xungui, who has the biggest headache for the father and emperor, if they have a war to fight, then what are they thinking about how to accumulate wealth and how to harm the people?"

"The clan king is actually a truth!"

Zhu Li smiled and nodded.

Even if he became the emperor, Zhu Li did not have the idea of cutting the domain, and he was more willing to seal all of these clan kings overseas than to cut the domain!

Let them help the Ming Dynasty expand its territory and defend one side!

And Zhu Li is also very clear that even if his strength is strong, he is still a person after all, and in the future, the territory of Daming will expand infinitely, and a large number of clan kings need to be stationed everywhere to guard it!

"But if your third brother, fourth brother, and old seventeen are all good to say, these are all relatively capable of fighting!"

"But those other brothers of yours, just like the old five Zhu Xuan, let him be a literati, if he is a general to expand the territory, I am afraid it will be difficult for him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also raised some questions at this time.

"Then arrange for them to go to the right area!"

"The clan kings who open up the territory and expand their territory are needed, and the clan kings who can govern the local area also need it!"

"In fact, many times, the clan kings defend one side, not how capable they are, but Daming's control over the place, so that the local people have a sense of identity and belonging!"

"As long as the clan king has been stationed in the local area for a long time, over time, the local people will become accustomed to the governance of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Of course, there will be many problems in this, which can only be solved by summing up experience in practice and solving them one by one!"

"But for now, this method is the best way for the children to think of to solve the problem that the lord of the clan is not lost!"

Zhu Li said his thoughts.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also nodded his head again and again with deep understanding.

Not to mention, the idea proposed by Zhu Li really solved Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest heart disease at this time!

This is also the most feasible!

"Well, then follow your thinking, and after a while you knock down the Western Regions, let's use this name to say that the Western Regions will be handed over to you to govern!"

"If the old four are also red-eyed, let's tell them what you just said!"

"If you want to get more fiefs, you can also fight it, then you have to fight it down yourself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and immediately made a decision!

"Father Emperor is wise!"

When Zhu Li heard this, he also laughed.

......

A few days later, the Yanwangfu of Beiping Province.

"What, King Zhu Li of Han is not dead, and the fraudulent death was also ordered by the emperor of his father?"

Suddenly hearing this news, Zhu Di's face was also full of shock!

What shocked him was not that Zhu Li was not dead, but that the old man actually said that the matter of Lao Jiu's fraudulent death was ordered by him!

Since the last time he saw Zhu Li in the palace, Zhu Di was sure that Lao Jiu was still alive!

But he never expected such a result!

Fortunately, he still wanted to find Lao Jiu at that time, and directly took him to the old man to explain clearly!

He didn't need to co-author, the old man helped him explain it!

"Your Highness, didn't you already know this result?"

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di's surprised appearance and slowly spoke.

There will be this day, and Yao Guangxiao expected it, he actually realized that he followed Zhu Di, and it seemed that he had no chance to help Zhu Di get that position!

and other princes can still fight, even Zhu Biao, the prince, is not invincible!

But when facing Han King Zhu Li, even Yao Guangxiao could only shake his head and smile bitterly!

He knew that he had a few pounds and taels, and he didn't dare to expect that he and Zhu Di would be able to snatch that position from King Han's hands by himself!

"King Ben does know that Lao Jiu is still alive, but King Ben doesn't know that even his father is so partial to Lao Jiu!"

"Why, Father Emperor is also too partial, right?"

"Lao Jiu's crime is a crime of cheating, and the father emperor actually helped him exonerate, so this is the end of the circle?"

Zhu Di's face was difficult to see.

It's not that he can't see Zhu Li well, but the old man's attitude makes him a little chilled!

And he had thought about a question before, that is, if the boss Zhu Biao was really gone, and Zhu Yunjiang and his brothers were also crowned kings, would he have a chance to compete for that position?

But now it seems that even if Zhu Biao is really gone, the old man in that position will most likely be handed over to Lao Jiu!

How does this make Zhu Di, who has always regarded himself very highly, accept it?

"Your Highness, in fact, what you should be most concerned about now is the matter of King Han's use of troops against the Western Regions!"

"It's been so many days, and the army of the Hanzhong Western Expedition is already halfway through!"

"King Han can say that he will take the Western Regions within three months, and it is still in the winter, how many percent can His Highness think he can have?"

Yao Guangxiao sighed helplessly in his heart and had to change the topic directly.

"Three months? Or in the middle of winter? How is this possible?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Lao Jiu can't do it!"

Zhu Di shook his head desperately.

Anyway, if it was his Yan King Zhu Di, he would definitely be able to conquer the Western Regions in less than three months!

"So what if he does?"

"Your Highness, you always underestimate King Han!"

"Perhaps His Royal Highness King Yan's gaze should also be placed outside Daming!"

Yao Guangxiao reminded Zhu Di with a straight face at this time.

"What do you mean by that?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he stared at Yao Guangxiao with a surprised look and asked.
