Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 449 Tax Reform! Bi Ziyan's determination

Wei Zhongxian was ordered to go to Dongfan to promote the Nanyang Pioneer of the Great Navigation Strategy. This matter was classified as the highest level secret by Zhu Youxiao. Not to mention the officials from outside the court, even the inner court did not know much, even if there were many The ceremonial guards are arranged and all kinds of needs are allocated to the departments. Many people still don’t know what this is going to do.

Zhu Youxiao's understanding of human nature is very clear. There are many strategic-level deployments. If they are clearly and effectively implemented, they can achieve immeasurable results. However, due to omissions in certain links, the strategic plan cannot be fully realized. The intention was leaked, and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were wasted. Zhu Youxiao would never allow this to happen!

If Wei Zhongxian is fully responsible for the Nanyang Navigation Strategy and is the pioneer, if it can achieve corresponding results, it will not only gain time and foundation for the Ming Dynasty Navy, but also better connect the overseas migration strategy. After all, Wei Zhongxian represents the inner court and the Ming Dynasty royal family. Wei Zhongxian The ownership rights of all the lands occupied by the troops in Nanyang were controlled by the royal family.

When Wei Zhongxian returns to the Ming Dynasty, a group of sects and vassals who have passed Zhu Youxiao's assessment will move to the vassal state. Together with the Ming Dynasty navy, they will set out for this magnificent territory to complete the Nanyang strategy of the great navigation strategy. Play their respective roles and values!

As for when this strategy will end, Zhu Youxiao did not specify a time limit. When the Strait of Malacca is actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty, it will mean the end of this strategy, but at the same time, the great navigation strategy belonging to the Ming Dynasty will also begin. A whole new chapter!

Qianqing Palace.

Dong Nuan Pavilion.

"Brother Imperial, is this a little too aggressive?"

Zhu Youjian suppressed his surprise and looked away from the map of Kunyu and all the kingdoms in front of him, and looked at Zhu Youxiao who was busy at his desk, "My brother is not doubting Wei Zhongxian's ability, but Nanyang is too far away from my Ming Dynasty after all. , even the Luzon area adjacent to Dongfan is still far away, not to mention that Dongfan is an uncivilized area, probably even more desolate than Qiongzhou Prefecture."

"If Wei Zhongxian led his troops to the east and failed to achieve the strategy set by the emperor, what if the maritime powers of the European countries knew about it and changed their minds, no longer focusing on maritime trade, but on maritime trade? If the main focus is robbery, then will the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty usher in a large-scale rebellion?"

"Maybe there is such a possibility."

Zhu Youxiao did not raise his head and continued to read the memorial he held, but said: "Is there anything in this world that has only opportunities but no risks? The greater the opportunity, the higher the risk. If you want to make Ming Dynasty truly go If you go out, you have to take some risks."

"Your Majesty, should we dispatch more fleets and follow Wei Zhongxian southward?"

Zhu Yujian, who had been silent all this time, now said: "After all, Wei Zhongxian went to Dongfan to implement such an important strategy. The situation at sea is much more complicated than on land. He only relied on recruiting fleets along the coast of Fujian and from the Fujian Navy. Dispatch a fleet, this team must be weak after all."

Zhu Youxiao read the memorial and said: "It is impossible for all the naval forces in the North to be transferred to Wei Zhongxian's command. They also have important tasks. In addition to the established deployment against Jianlu, they must also reach an agreement on trade with the vassal Korea. , they also have to take care of the North Korean coast, and even set up a branch to be stationed in Jeju Port."

"Not to mention that Tianjin opened up sea trade to the outside world, and batches of Western merchants came north to dock. Perhaps maritime trade is the main theme, but the proper maritime deterrence must be there, even if it means the current strength of the northern navy , does not have the ability to fight in oceans at all, but at least it still has the ability to fight in offshore waters."

"I have considered what you are talking about before. Opportunities will never stop waiting for you. It depends on whether you dare to take the gamble. For me, Daming, I can take this big gamble."

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian had different expressions on their faces after hearing this.

"If Wei Zhongxian can really gain a foothold, then the deployment of maritime granaries in the future will provide one more stable food source." Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment, then fixed his eyes on the map again, frowning and said: "But this may be a year later. It may take longer to reach scale, but if it does reach scale, then Beizhili will be able to get rid of the food crisis in the future, and there is no need to worry about young people trying to cause trouble over food prices."

“The benefits don’t stop there.”

Zhu Yujian stepped forward, pointed at the map and said: "If Wei Zhongxian can really establish a foothold and absorb some Nanyang Han civilian fleets, he can even spy on the Indochina Peninsula, such as Beizheng and Nanruan in Annan, Lancang Kingdom, Phnom Penh, The Ayutthaya State, the Toungoo Dynasty, etc. can definitely send out hidden stakes in batches to ascertain the actual situation of each country, understand the internal factions, and prepare in advance for the reopening of the Chief Secretary of Cochin in the future in the Ming Dynasty."

"indeed."

Zhu Youjian nodded and said: "If we can really gain a foothold, then in the future, we can choose to intervene in the Indo-China Peninsula on land. After all, Yunnan has a rugged terrain, and the risk of setting off from Yunnan is too high, but if we can launch it from the sea, On the offensive."

"Let's not talk about other places for now, let's just say that the old land of Annan is almost undefeable. Not to mention the long and narrow north and south, and it is adjacent to the sea. If we can really take back this old land, the Ming Dynasty will have a foothold in the Indochina Peninsula from now on. Since then, the entire Nanyang region has been under attack from the east and west..."

"Okay, don't talk about this here."

Seeing the two of them chatting, Zhu Youxiao put down the memorial he was holding and said, "Before the eight characters were even written, you guys started talking about war on paper. It's okay to talk about these secrets in front of me, but if you dare to let me know, you guys will do it in front of outsiders." Talk about it, then I will use family methods."

"Brother Chen understands."

"I understand."

"Wei Zhongxian's matter has begun to be done. You should also work harder. Li Qi will stay in the Ming Dynasty to further his studies, and Li Jian will be sent back to North Korea. The matter of mutual exchanges has been discussed, but the opening of Jeju Island port must also be resolved. "Xia, longevity, you are under a lot of pressure."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhu Youxiao said with a serious expression: "Open source is an important deployment this year. I will seize any opportunity to make money!"

"I understand."

Zhu Yujian immediately bowed and said: "I will try to solve this matter. Li Zhu has already made a move, and now he is about to kick him in the door."

"Then it's up to you."

Zhu Youxiao's deep eyes looked at the memorandum on the imperial case, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Bi Ziyan is worthy of being the financial minister of the Ming Dynasty that I selected. In the second year of the Apocalypse, the internal tax reform belonging to the Ming Dynasty must be vigorously promoted. , and the first knife struck Caoliang and Caoyin!
