Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 751 Ambition
For Chen Zuyi, the great pirate who ran across the South Seas, the catastrophe came so suddenly.It was only because the fleet of the Ming Dynasty came to Nanyang, and it was only because he did not do something according to the will of the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

Now he was imprisoned in a cage, and his men fled in all directions, or lost their lives.And many more people were caught, some were executed, and some were imprisoned just like him.

Those small countries in Southeast Asia that didn't dare to stroke their beards in the past seem to be fierce and strict at this time, and they will show no mercy to those fleeing pirates.It can even be said to be even more cruel, because they all know that Chen Zuyi has been destroyed.

For Ma Sanbao, exterminating Chen Zuyi is one of his responsibilities.He led a huge fleet to sea, and promoting the country's prestige was the most important task.As for some means of promoting national prestige, the best way is to use a war to show the strength of the Ming army.

Although Chen Zuyi was a pirate, these pirates were indeed a tyrant in Nanyang, leaving countless Nanyang countries helpless.But so what, in front of Da Ming, these seemingly powerful pirates were still just ants, and they were still wiped out by Da Ming with a snap of their fingers.

This is the best way to promote the country's prestige, and let the countries in Southeast Asia feel the strength of Ming Dynasty intuitively.

Furthermore, the extermination of these powerful pirates would not allow the caravans of the Ming Dynasty to travel unimpeded, but it was indeed an extra guarantee.Small groups of pirates dare not easily attack Daming's caravan, and large groups of pirates have to weigh whether they are comparable to Chen Zuyi.

This can be regarded as an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and these things are also things that Ma Sanbao should do.

When the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty arrived at the old port, Shi Jinqing and others immediately stepped forward to greet them.And the new Sanfo Qi King Liang Daoming also hurriedly brought his courtier Zheng Bo and the Chinese living in Nanyang to visit.

There are many Chinese in Nanyang. They sail, do business, and cultivate land here. The number of them is not small.

The current New Sanfoqi Chinese newspaper group is keeping warm and is resisting the invasion of Majapahit. Now they also need to establish more contacts with the powerful Ming Dynasty, so this may be regarded as an extra guarantee.

As for paying tribute, or proclaiming ministers like the Ming Dynasty, it seems that there is no psychological obstacle at all for some people.For example, Liang Daoming, he went to Nanyang to make a living in the early years, and he was also thinking about returning to his roots.

If he could get Daming's official position by relying on such a small amount of achievements in Sanfo Qi, there would be no problem.At that time, it will be beautiful, and in the end it is to make a living. If you can get an official position, then you will be proud and honor your family.

As for some sites in Nanyang, Liang Daoming is also very clear that this is just a small fight.Although there are more and more Chinese defecting now, there is no way to fight against Majapahit.

Daming is still more stable. If he can have an official status and receive the imperial salary, Liang Daoming really won't have any hesitation.Going home to be a rich man and a dignitary with an official status is better than leading a group of people in Nanyang to resist the intrusion of barbarians.

The so-called new King Srivijaya has nothing to miss for him, the main reason is that he is like occupying the mountain as king.

These can probably be regarded as everyone has their own ambitions, and some people think about their own foundation.Even if it is some remote places, it can be regarded as the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix, leading some natives, that is a 'superior man' after all.

However, some people think that if they can return to their hometown in a good way, that is the biggest pursuit.Isn't it just to be able to return to the hometown in a better way after working hard outside? Isn't it just to comfort the ancestors?
Returning the fallen leaves to their roots is also the pursuit of many people who live abroad. They have been wandering for half their lives, and they also think about returning to their hometown after death.

Ma Sanbao is now considered to be in the limelight. I believe that at this time, not only Liang Daoming and others are full of awe of him, but also other countries in Nanyang will soon get the news, and they must also be afraid of the power of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, through this war, it can be regarded as a job with His Majesty to prove his ability to handle affairs.On the side of the fleet, to some extent, those arrogant soldiers and warriors can respect him, instead of just obeying the imperial court's order as in the beginning.

These are very realistic things, and everything needs to rely on fists to speak, or rely on ability and ability to gain the respect of others.Others, it may not be so easy.

Ma Sanbao can be considered to have initially won the trust of some people. After all, he is the commander in name in this battle.It seems that he is no longer just a eunuch trusted by His Majesty, but a eunuch with some skills.

These things can also be said to be very realistic, but they are indeed very useful.Especially for Ma Sanbao who is physically handicapped, he cares more about everyone's respect and His Majesty's trust.If you can make some achievements, you will not live up to this life.

Whether Ma Sanbao is high-spirited or not, Zhu Yunying naturally doesn't know these things, he just wants to govern the Ming Dynasty well, these are his own jobs, this is the responsibility of an emperor.

There are still many things waiting for him to deal with. As an emperor, he must not be idle.Even though the cabinet is helping him deal with some things now, in such a beautiful country, some things happen every day, and these also need to be dealt with by the emperor.

Some things may be trivial, but it is very easy to deal with, and it is not difficult to make a decision.And some major events are not so easy, and they all need to be discussed with the princes in the court.

For example, Fu Youde, this guy seems to have realized something belatedly.In other words, some previous calculations have not been realized, and he is now planning to find another way, thinking about finding a new way to break the situation.

"Your Majesty, this time I went to Koryo, I felt that the military system of the imperial court was not enough." Fu Youde also said very bluntly, "This time, Your Majesty's major revision of the yellow book has made many military households unsustainable."

When mentioning this point, Zhu Yunying also became serious, because he knew that what Fu Youde said was very reasonable.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was the Weisuo system, which was conceived from the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.In essence, the implementation of the guard system must be coordinated with a household registration system that can guarantee the number of troops to maintain the operation of the guard system.

The source of the military households in the Ming Dynasty now is the original military households in the Yuan Dynasty, and the second is the households of active soldiers.Moreover, military households are hereditary, and the management is quite strict. It is very difficult to remove the military registration.

Now Zhu Yunying is planning to change some policies, and the income will be distributed to the mother, which also means that some ordinary people can get rid of a lot of pressure.And for those military households, they must also be moved.

Although the management of military households has always been relatively strict, even during the period when the Ming Dynasty was founded, there were actually some escapees.Some people can't bear the hereditary military household status.

Furthermore, even after these years, some general trends of peace in the world seem to be very obvious.Therefore, some officers of the guards also began to take bribes and break the law, and some general households were treated as their own servants.

Although the imperial court did severely punish this phenomenon, some generals were unlucky because of it.However, I have to say that although such a phenomenon is not common, it is indeed becoming more and more obvious. After all, peace has come down, and many people's pursuits are different.

In the past, the chiefs of the guards, in addition to the guards who garrisoned the fields, needed to farm, and many guards still had to train soldiers.

But now it's different, these guard chiefs are thinking about more land and more income.Things like military training and preparation for war seem to be getting farther and farther away from them, and they don't seem to have much to do with it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve fought a war, and I don’t need to go out for a long time. This is not at the border, and frequent military training is meaningless. It’s better to live comfortably. This seems to be the most practical and beautiful thing.

Zhu Yunying also knew about this phenomenon, and the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion actually had some information like this.

But it seems that there are really not many ways to do it. After all, there is no place to use troops in some inland places for the time being.

At this time, Zhu Yunying became serious and listened carefully to some situations reported by Fu Youde.For the guards, of course, more attention is needed. Even if it seems that there is not much military action now, but in any case, it should not be forgotten to prepare for war. There must be no such thing as putting weapons into storage.

What should be supervised must be supervised, and what should be improved also needs to be improved. The emergence of some new policies will inevitably change some of the original pattern.What's more, it seems that there are some constraints on restricting land mergers, and it will liberate part of the productivity.

It's just that such a policy has greatly damaged the original yellow book system of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible not to admit it.

Zhu Yunying didn't intend to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and didn't feel that she had to wait until the situation was corrupt before paying attention to these things.

Zhu Yunying was listening patiently, but gradually felt that something was wrong. The veteran Fu Youde's meaning was actually very simple.

He didn't really doubt that there was anything wrong with the guard station system, he just wanted to give the Five Armies Dudu's Office more power at this time.Speaking of the five-army governor's office, it was also restricted by the Ministry of War to a certain extent. After all, the Ministry of War was in charge of military guards, native officials, selected and taught courses, and military administration such as military system, training, recruitment, garrison, and border defense.

And when going out, the hall officials often supervise the army going out, which is also a restriction on the five armies' governor's mansion.Even if the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion does not take the Ministry of War seriously in many cases, the Ministry of War seems to be doing chores for the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, but it is still a restriction.

Fu Youde just wanted to completely kick the Ministry of War away and let the Five Armies Commander's Office take full control of the military.What he was looking forward to was the period of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the early years, when the military power was more important.

Zhu Yunying almost laughed. Old Zhu was worried that the power of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion would be too heavy, so he split up the Five Armies Governor's Mansion.Lao Zhu was worried that the military honors would not be lost, so in the early years, he took the reputation of widowhood and punished some martial arts, and also used the Ministry of War to restrict the five armies.

But it's good now, Fu Youde almost wants Zhu Yunying to reverse the car, and even makes Wu Xun more powerful.

Zhu Yunying will definitely not allow this kind of thing, and this kind of thing is Fu Youde's daydream.This guy may have some political wisdom, but it seems that his political wisdom is relatively limited.

Or maybe Fu Youde just pretended to be upright and put forward a suggestion that would never be adopted by the emperor.If it is rejected at that time, it will be the next best thing, so as to have a greater chance of being adopted by the emperor.

These are really very possible. Fu Youde still seems to have his own tricks.

Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing, looked at Fu Youde and suddenly asked, "Ying Guogong, I remember that Fu Rang was also a noble guard in the palace in the early years, and he was also a tall and burly person. I also said a few years ago that the emperor's aunt passed away. , the son-in-law should marry another."

Fu Youde had an idea. His eldest son, Fu Zhong, was the son-in-law, and his grandson, Fu Yan, was also the son of Princess Shouchun.

Fu Youde immediately said, "Return to Your Majesty, the dog has no intention of marrying another."

"It's fine for him to marry a concubine." Zhu Yunying said gently, "It's just that Fu Yan is the son of the emperor's aunt after all, and my uncle is also the son of the Duke of the state. Is that the reason?"

Fu Youde naturally understood what the emperor meant, that Duke Ying's title could only be passed on to Fu Zhong, or in other words, only to Fu Yan.So these years, there are people in Fu Zhong's house who are not well-known, and even dare not get pregnant.Now that he can have a concubine, it means that Fu Zhong can continue to have children.

But in any case, Fu Yan's status cannot be shaken, this is the emperor's bottom line.

This is a few casual chatter, and it seems to be a kind of kindness to Fu Youde, which can be regarded as the treatment that Fu Youde should have.After all, Fu Youde has made great contributions, and this is something that no one can deny.

But after leaving the Hall of Martial Heroes, Fu Youde smiled helplessly.The emperor sent him away, but he didn't give an accurate word at all.

But think about it, his eldest son can justifiably marry a concubine, this is also a kind of grace.Seeing his many children and grandchildren and seeing the flourishing branches of Fu's family, this can be regarded as one of Fu Youde's expectations.

It's just that the more Fu Youde thinks about it, the more he feels something is wrong. It's enough to mention Fu Zhong in these things, and it's enough to even mention Fu Yan.His Majesty also specifically mentioned the 'young son' Fu Rang before, is there any other reason for this?

For today's scheming, Fu Youde did not dare to underestimate him, he knew that today's scheming was deep when he was young.

I have to go back to the mansion and ask quickly, His Majesty will definitely not mention Fu Rang for no reason.After all, Fu Rang is the third son of Duke Ying's mansion outside, so he seems to have some status.

It's just that such an identity is not even worth remembering in front of the emperor.
