I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 182: A World of Great Conflict (Please subscribe)

"What, a government official? His father was an imperial convict and plotted against the leader of the bandits, but his son actually lives in peace and quiet? How he can still be an official? It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

Luo Sigong's words really made Zhu Youxiao feel angry and want to laugh. How could such a strange thing happen?

Are all the people in Wuqiao County followers of evil sects like the Eastern Mahayana Sect?That's why he is so unscrupulous.

Luo Sigong originally wondered why this was the case, but after careful investigation, he found that there was a reason.

"Your Majesty, Wuqiao County is a well-known poor county in Hejian Prefecture. From the 42nd year of Wanli to the first year of Taichang, there has been no county magistrate, only the county magistrate.

In addition, this place is located at the junction of Shandong and Hebei, so that Wang Haoxian can be unscrupulous here. In addition, there are many believers, buying land in the county, and using money to open roads, it is considered a powerful party, and no one dares to control it. "

Zhu Youxiao didn't know much about this, but when he heard that it was located at the junction of Shandong and Hebei, he immediately became wary.

"You just said that Wuqiao County is at the junction of Shandong and Hebei? And Xu Hongru, another branch of the Eastern Mahayana Sect, is also active in Caozhou Prefecture, Shandong. I remember that the two places are separated by Linqing Prefecture. This place is a water transportation hub. If the two rebel, they will definitely It threatens water transportation."

"Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed the case, and I am worried about this. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to send troops quickly, take advantage of the thief leader's slack, send troops to exterminate, uproot the weeds, and eliminate future troubles."

The leader of the thief is so blatant that it is actually easy to catch him, so Luo Sigong wants to make a quick decision and solve it as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles forever.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao also began to think about it, because he only had Xu Hongru's rebellion in his memory, and no impression of Wang Haoxian. Didn't he rebel before? Or did he not lead the rebellion, but relied on Xu Hongru to rebel?

If the idea behind is true, then if he mobilizes his whole body and arrests him rashly, Xu Hongru will be disturbed, and it will be difficult to arrest him again.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while, but still felt that he could not arrest people at will, so he immediately gave Luo Sigong instructions.

"This matter is not urgent. Since this Wang Haoxian is so blatant, he must have something to rely on. There is no sign of the other thief leader Xu Hongru. Arresting him rashly will easily scare the snake. We need to think about it in the long run."

After all, Luo Sigong had no memory of future generations. Hearing this, he didn't understand what the emperor was hesitating about, although he didn't quite understand it in his heart and didn't show it.

"According to the order, I will continue to send people to keep an eye on Wang Haoxian. I will also send people to the Linqing and Shuntian Mansion areas to investigate secretly to see if they can find any signs of the thief's leader, and then catch them all."

"Well, now that Wang Haoxian knows about it, let's focus on this Xu Hongru. According to Wang Sen's confession, this person has great ambitions and is hiding it so deeply. He must be planning to commit rebellion. He must not If you don't notice, once you have news, report it as soon as possible, and the court will take action early to eliminate future troubles forever."

Zhu Youxiao is not in a hurry now, not to mention whether the Beijing camp's combat power has not been formed and whether it can be suppressed in time, but to rashly alert the snake and let Xu Hongru revolt in a hurry. Although there is no problem in deploying border troops to suppress it as in history, but if It would be bad if it took as long as it did in the previous life, blocked water transportation, and shocked the world.

So there is no harm in waiting for a month or two. Anyway, we have the basic whereabouts now. When the information is more accurate, we can mobilize the elite soldiers of Xuanda and Beijing Camp, and the Jin Yiwei will strangle them with thunderous force. Only in this way can the damage be minimized.

"Well, then I'll do as you say, and be careful not to leak the information. If it arouses alarm, it would be bad if the success falls short. By the way, I asked the Jin Yiwei to be sent to North Korea before. How are the people over there in Nanyang prepared? "

Now that the Jinyiwei are getting more and more used, Zhu Youxiao wants to let them take on more responsibilities. Since Xiong Tingbi asked to support the coup of North Korea's Lingyang Lord Li Zhu, the people who went to contact him were naturally the top priority.

Luo Sigong is a suitable person. As early as the Wanli Dynasty's Battle of North Korea, he went deep into North Korea to spy on intelligence and was very familiar with North Korea. It was just right for him to send Jin Yiwei to contact him.

"Your Majesty, everyone is ready. We plan to set off in February. However, North Korea is not bad. I have been there before, and I have an acquaintance with the current leader Gwanghae Jun. I am very familiar with the mountains and geography, and the honors of the two ministers. Familiar, it won’t take much effort to come here. Come to think of it..."

When Zhu Youxiao saw Luo Sigong's sudden sputtering, he knew that he must be in trouble.

"But what? Just tell me if you have any difficulties."

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's urging, Luo Sigong did not hesitate and immediately stated the difficulty.

"Your Majesty, before I went to Liaodong, Southwest, and even Korean officials, I could understand and overcome them. But now that Nanyang is remote, the court's understanding of them is only limited to the merchants and passenger ships of the Ming Dynasty, Western monks, and foreigners in Macau..."

"I have also been asking around during this time. I heard that the climate there is very hot and miasma is prevalent. People from Guangdong and Fujian, who are quite foreigners, often go there to seek food. However, they are easily infected with malaria when they go there. , I am a huge country in heaven, and I am all-encompassing. I don’t know what the details are. I am so ignorant. How can I ask Your Majesty to clarify my doubts?" Luo Sigong’s doubts actually represent the views of most people in the Ming Dynasty. I, China, are all-encompassing. Bao, they have everything. They are surrounded by barbarian countries, and the people living there are all foreigners. They usually kneel down and beg to pay tribute, do some business and make money. Ming Dynasty is happy to give them the opportunity to come to the capital to pay tribute, but they are not happy. Instead of simply not letting them come, you can also issue an edict to reprimand them.

But now the emperor is actually interested in Nanyang, which makes them very puzzled as to why.

Zhu Youxiao was both understanding and embarrassed after hearing this. He couldn't say that the Ming Dynasty was about to face a catastrophe unprecedented in a thousand years. While it was still a stable life, he could open up the sea ban and see if he could open up some colonies and immigrate to reduce the Ming Dynasty's troubles. Population pressure!
Or purchase food from South Asian countries at this time to alleviate the disaster. When the Ming Dynasty survives, it can explore Southeast Asia, even Australia, America and other places, participate in this vast colonial era, and let the Ming Dynasty also have a share of the pie. Let China not fall behind this great change.

If you tell them this now, they will think they are crazy, but they will not be able to change their minds. If you do things without a goal, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

So seeing Luo Sigong asking this, he thought about it and came up with a very practical reason.

"I am all-encompassing in China. Even if Dongfan is so close to Fujian, few people go there, let alone establish prefectures and counties. This is true for Dongfan, and even more so for Nanyang."

"But the problem is that if the court doesn't go, someone else will."

Zhu Youxiao stood up as he spoke, and took Luo Sigong to the inner wall of Dongnuang Pavilion. This wall was blocked by a curtain and surrounded by bookshelves with some traces of reading on them. Then he asked Zhang Chang to The curtain opens.

As Zhang Chang slowly pulled the curtain rope, the curtain slowly opened from the middle to both sides, revealing a huge map. Luo Sigong looked at it carefully and found that there were five huge words on the map, "Kun Yu Wan Guo Complete Map".

"Your Majesty, here is the "Comprehensive Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms" presented to Emperor Shenzong by the Western monk Matteo Ricci?"

Luo Sigong had heard about this painting for a long time. He also heard that the emperor made dozens of copies of this painting and gave them to the cabinet ministers. He had always wanted to see it before, but never had the chance. Unexpectedly, he was now lucky enough to see the original painting with his own eyes. .

"Strictly speaking, no. The map sent by Matteo Ricci was actually not very detailed. However, I also discovered that Li Zhizao, the Minister of Taipu Temple in Nanjing at that time, used Matteo Ricci's "The Complete Map of All Nations" as a model, and he and Matteo Ricci also I redrawn a more detailed version of the map and presented it to Grandpa Huang. I also discovered it by chance. Fortunately, I replaced the original map and hung it here."

Zhu Youxiao hung this map in the Dongnuan Pavilion. He would come and look at it when he had nothing to do. Firstly, it was to kill time, and secondly, it was to motivate himself.

Looking at the Americas, India, Africa and other territories outside the Ming Dynasty, he felt a lot of unwillingness in his heart.

Now is a time of great strife. China, a great country, had the opportunity to continue to lead the world. However, the combination of natural and man-made disasters made this process abruptly interrupted by the Tatars.Now that he is here, he will definitely not let this happen again.

"Look at this map. The Ming Dynasty is in the center. The Western monks and merchants are far away from the Ming Dynasty in Europe. There are many countries there and there are endless wars. The people value violence but ignore morality. They are very profit-seeking and travel thousands of miles for the sake of profit. Come to the Ming Dynasty to trade, our Ming Dynasty is the superior country, so they naturally dare not make any mistakes, but I heard that the countries in the South China Sea have been humiliated by it."

"Manalajia (Malacca) was destroyed by the Folangji people. The king repeatedly asked me for help from the Ming Dynasty, but they all turned a deaf ear. Now the Folangji people have established a capital in Luzon. Most of them heard that the Ming Dynasty went there, but they He was massacred and humiliated.

Although they are already foreigners, I feel sad every time I think about these Westerners' wild ambitions. They went to Manchuria, then to Luzon, and now they are trading in Macau. I also heard that the Red Mao Yi troops were preparing to invade Penghu and other places. land. "

"The imperial court now has Jianlu in front and Southwest in the back. If the Westerners continue to provoke provocations, the imperial court will not sit idly by and ignore them, but it will also consume energy and be very cumbersome.

Therefore, I want Jinyiwei to go to Nanyang to understand the distribution of these Westerners, see if there are any disputes among them, and whether the people outside Nanyang admire Wanghua and can join them. When trouble arises, they can also take advantage of it. "

Luo Sigong was greatly surprised by Zhu Youxiao's words, even though he had seen the emperor's tactics and layout during this period.

But I never expected that the emperor would think so long-term. This Westerner had offended Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places several times. This was not a secret, but they felt it was a little disturbing and not a big deal.

But the emperor wanted to take precautions and prepare in advance when he saw the coming danger. Thinking of this, Luo Sigong couldn't help but feel ashamed. He felt that his thinking was too simple. It was the emperor's far-sightedness that could have thought of this.
