Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 699 Overseas enclaves, each has its own controversy

After reading the introduction of Malacca's local conditions and customs in the Ming Pao, Tang Datao couldn't help feeling an urge to visit immediately.

Too bad he can't.

Because next year will be the year when the imperial court holds the Qiu Wei, he is only a scholar now, and if he wants to become a Juren, he must pass the Qiu Wei Examination.

As for Chunwei, it was postponed by the court for one year and reopened in the sixth year of Zhaowu.

Therefore, if he can pass the Qiuwei examination next year and become a Juren, he will be able to participate in the Chunwei next year and have a chance of being a Jinshi.

Malacca is in Nanyang, and it takes more than two months to get there by sea boat from Nanjing. Counting the time for sightseeing, even if he leaves for Malacca at this time, he can only travel in Malacca for two or three months.

But in fact, Daming will officially acquire Malacca in February next year. Including that he has to study books when he comes back, the time is definitely not enough.

"Brother Zhu Wan!"

A cry of surprise made Tang Datao raise his head, and he saw that it was Xia Wanchun.

The talented Xia Wanchun has grown a mustache on his lips, and looks much more mature than before.

Seeing him leading a young man coming here, Tang Datao immediately stood up and cupped his hands, and asked with a smile: "Cun Gu, don't you run an iron factory in Taiping Prefecture? Why do you have time to come to the Moxiang Tower in the capital?"

Xia Wanchun approached, and first introduced the people around him, "This is my friend from the same town, Du Dengchun, with the style of Jiugao. This is the Tang Datao I mentioned, with the style of Zhuwan."

The three of them were all young people, deeply influenced by new ideas and new trends. After introducing each other, after going through the basic etiquette, they sat down and chatted without much fuss.

Xia Wanchun answered Tang Datao's question before, "The Ironworks has been completely on the right track, and the daily affairs are handled by the people below, and I'm actually not busy.

No, come to Nanjing to visit my father when I have time, and buy some books and newspapers by the way.

Now the railway runs through Taiping Mansion and has been repaired to Tongling, Chizhou Mansion. It is also convenient for me to come to Nanjing by train. It takes more than an hour to get there from Dangtu to Nanjing. "

Tang Datao nodded after hearing this, and said: "It's good for you to be free, just to review the book for next year's autumn. I'm going to avenge my shame with you."

Xia Wanchun laughed loudly and said: "Haha, that's exactly what I planned. When the time comes, I will be behind in the ranking, Brother Zhu Wan, please don't cry."

Tang Datao also laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you are behind you, as long as you can win the exam."

Du Dengchun said: "I think Zhu Wan and Qiu Wei seem to have a plan in their chests, and they will definitely be able to go to high school."

"Brother Chengjiu's auspicious words."

After chatting a few gossips, the three of them quickly chatted about the headline news report of this issue of Da Ming Pao.

"According to the introduction in the newspaper, Malacca is indeed an important sea transportation route between the East and the West, no wonder the imperial court forced the Heyi to cede it." Du Denggao said holding the newspaper, "I just don't know how the imperial court intends to manage it - this is an overseas enclave. "

"What about overseas enclaves?" Xia Wanchun disapproved, "Brother Jiu Gao, don't forget, the imperial court now has radio stations, which can send messages thousands of miles away.

Even if Malacca is thousands of miles away from Nanjing, it can get military and political orders from the imperial court in time and act according to the orders.

Franco ruled Malacca for more than a hundred years, and my Ming Dynasty can rule Malacca for at least hundreds of years! "

Du Dengchun shook his head, "Cun Gu's thinking is simple. If the imperial court wants to control a place, it is important to be able to order well, but what is more important is to be able to send troops in time to suppress the rebellion.

If there is a military turmoil in Malacca in the future, or if it is besieged by the army of other countries, it is at stake, and I, Ming, will cross the sea to support it. Even if I send troops from Guangzhou, it may take more than half a month, right? "

Xia Wanchun retorted: "Did you give up Malacca because it took a long time to send troops?"

"I misunderstood the ancients. I didn't mean it. I just said that it is more difficult to rule here. Or in the popular words nowadays, the cost of ruling by the court will be very high."

"I don't know if the cost of ruling will be high, but the benefits I get from controlling this place are obvious..."

Tang Datao saw that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, afraid of getting angry, he quickly interjected: "You two, how to govern Malacca is a matter for the ministers of the court and China, let's stop arguing.

If you have time, it is better to discuss whether there will be changes in next year's autumn - that is something that is closely related to us. "

Xia Wanchun smiled suddenly, and said: "It's just a matter between Brother Zhu Wan and me. Brother Jiu Gao was elected in the second year of Zhaowu."

Du Dengchun didn't take the argument just now to heart, and said modestly: "It's just a fluke, and now I'm worrying about the spring of the next year."

Forbidden City, Hall of Martial Arts.

Auntie Zhu is also discussing the governance of Malacca with the military ministers.

The chief assistant Yuan Jixian said: "Since Malacca is an important sea transportation route between the east and the west, it cannot be used as a feudal land. It should follow the example of the Han and Tang Dynasties, set up a capital to protect the mansion, and send an important official to sit in the town and take charge of the military and administration, so that it can be stable."

It was different from what the gentry and scholars thought, because the military ministers understood the importance of Malacca better, and even conservatives like Yuan Jixian believed that Malacca must be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the restoration of the country for Manchu, neither Zhu Yu nor the ministers thought about it.

For one thing, Manga has been destroyed for more than 100 years.

Second, the current Johor Kingdom was built by the former Prince Managa.

According to the news sent back to China by Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, after the Kingdom of Johor united with the Netherlands to defeat the Portuguese colonial government in Malacca that year, its national power has grown day by day in recent years, and it has become a small tyrant in Nanyang.

If Daming restores the country for Manchuria, wouldn’t it be sending fresh meat to the lips of the Johor Kingdom?

As for using Malacca as a feudal land and guarded by a feudal prince, someone has suggested it.

But now the military ministers are all aware of the global situation and know that there are still many unclaimed lands overseas.

That being the case, why is it necessary to confer a vassal king in an important place like Malacca to make him a hidden worry for the court?
You know, there was a precedent for the rebellion of the Daming vassal.

Now that the vassal king is sealed overseas and re-granted his military power, it would be fine if he rebelled in an insignificant place, but if there was a disturbance in an important place like Malacca, the Ming court would be uncomfortable.

Yuan Jixian thought that the proposal to set up the Protectorate in Malacca was radical enough, but he didn't think there was anything more radical than him.

When Huang Daozhou, Zhu Dadian and others nodded slightly to express their approval of Yuan Jixian's proposal, Li Yan got up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to set up a capital guard.

The general protector is also in charge of the military and administration, and after a long time, it is easy to become the emperor of one side.But if it is changed every two or three years, it will not be conducive to our Daming to forge ahead in Nanyang.

Considering that Malacca is only the beginning of our Ming Dynasty's overseas expansion, and its geographical location is extremely important, it is better to directly set up a county and place it under the jurisdiction of Nanhai Province. "

Li Yan's words caused the others to think for a while, some nodded in agreement, and some shook their heads in disapproval.

After that, the rest of the people also spoke one after another, obviously forming two factions supporting Yuan Jixian or Li Yan.

Seeing this, Aimee Zhu knew that it was up to her to make the decision.

　Second more.

　　Good night~
