Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback for a while, and then immediately said: "Your Majesty, please listen to me carefully. This feudal overseas is not as difficult as you think."

Well, I'm still impatient, Emperor Chongzhen said to himself, and then saw that Zhong Jinwei didn't speak, and waited for him to finish speaking.

"Your Majesty, let alone the current situation of the Ming clan, the king of Tang discussed just now has to be punished because he wants to lead the army to serve the king. Is this the consensus of the ruling and opposition parties?"

Zhong Jinwei was told by Emperor Chongzhen just now that he was talking about military affairs on paper, so he put away his previous smile and started discussing with Emperor Chongzhen seriously.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded. This is necessary. It has always been the consensus of the ruling and opposition parties to guard against the possible rebellion of the vassal king.

"Except for the clan, everyone else can serve as the king. From a certain point of view, the members of the clan have a miserable life than other ordinary people, and they have a lot less rights. They even have to apply to the magistrate for going out of the city to worship. I think that they really deserve it." It's very pitiful. The only thing the Ming clan can do is to eat and wait to die. Even some middle and lower clans can't even do it, they are like beggars trying to survive in the kingdom established by their ancestors."

Zhong Jinwei's words were a bit heavy, and Emperor Chongzhen's face sank when he said it.This is a face-to-face slap, the person who wants to speak is not Zhong Jinwei, if it were someone else, Emperor Chongzhen would probably lose his temper.

When Wang Chengen saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly smoothed things over and said: "But this situation is inevitable. If we don't take strict precautions, we will give them a chance to rebel. When we fight together, people will be devastated and mourned. This is what Your Majesty does not want to see. Your Majesty This is great benevolence and righteousness, sacrificing oneself to keep the world peaceful."

Zhong Jinwei naturally wouldn't say if there were other reasons, he turned to Wang Chengen and nodded, "I know that."

Then he turned to Emperor Chongzhen in front of him, and continued: "Your Majesty, I know what Wang Gonggong said. What I want to express is that the clan of the Ming Dynasty is very unhappy, that's all. Now if the emperor gives them a chance to feudalize overseas, They may not be unwilling?"

Emperor Chongzhen was naturally not really angry, but just felt that Zhong Jinwei's words were harsh.After hearing this, he asked, "Is this just Master Zhong's guess?"

Zhong Jinwei shook his head and replied: "Your Majesty, the feudal overseas is of course not to let them go overseas alone. If they are given some corresponding rights in exchange, they will naturally go. And for the court, there are other benefits."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that it was good for the court, his face was happy, but then he thought that the clan might not be able to agree to entrust overseas, so what good would it be good for, and his face darkened again.

"May I ask Marquis Zhongxing, what kind of rights will be exchanged?" Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen hadn't spoken, Wang Chengen asked.

Zhong Jinwei turned his head and glanced at him, then looked back at Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Give the clan the power of the vassal kings at the beginning of the country, that is, have all the powers of overseas vassal states, including personnel, military and other powers. However, they are still vassals in terms of status. Your Majesty, you have to be honored as the co-lord of the world."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't speak immediately, but became meditative, thinking about the powerful relationship brought about by Zhong Jinwei's words.

Zhong Jinwei saw that Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, so he waited for a while, and then continued after guessing: "Your Majesty, the empire that the sun never sets in my hometown, almost adopts this system, but they are called the Commonwealth system, which is the same as the one I just said. The feudal overseas feudal law mentioned has the same effect. The territory is too wide, and under the current traffic conditions, direct control is unrealistic."

Emperor Chongzhen was listening to Zhong Jinwei's words, while looking up at the small island called Britain on the map, and then thinking about what Zhong Jinwei said, after thinking for a while, he asked: "So for Daming, what did Master Zhong do just now?" What are you talking about, and how do you do it?”

"The current vassal kings are basically not short of money. They can spend their own money to recruit refugees, refugees, and victims of disasters in the Ming Dynasty, and form an army. When necessary, the court can provide some help so that it can form an army as soon as possible. Then go to the North The Americas raced to enclose land and open up territories. As much territory as they can lay down and control, they have as much territory. There is only one rule, they are not allowed to fight each other. If there is any conflict, it must be reported to His Majesty for adjudication. Of course , Your Majesty can also divide their spheres of influence, and these specific matters can be discussed later."

Zhong Jinwei's words started to make Emperor Chongzhen frown a little.But when he heard that everyone respected himself in the future, he slowly relieved.

On the other hand, Wang Chengen asked: "They recruited troops in the territory of Daming, if they try to plot evil in the territory of Daming, what should they do?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and nodded slightly when he heard the words. His companion was really thoughtful.

Zhong Jinwei turned to Wang Chengen and asked him with a smile: "My lord, you said that the army formed by refugees, refugees, and victims of disasters can defeat the army of the imperial court?"

Wang Chengen was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and seemed a little unconvinced and said: "If the army of the feudal lord has no combat power, how can we expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty?"

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I have told you about the situation in North America before. There are all primitive Indian tribes there, and the vassal's army is more than enough to deal with them."

At this time, Europeans had landed in the eastern part of North America, but the number was still very small. Zhong Jinwei knew it, but he didn't want to say it, so as not to increase the difficulty of feudal overseas.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know this situation, and nodded in agreement with Zhong Jinwei's statement. If it was what Zhong Jinwei said, it would be no problem to defeat those primitive aborigines.

Wang Cheng'en didn't listen much to Zhong Jinwei's talk about the specific situation in North America, but when he saw Emperor Chongzhen nodding, he no longer had any doubts.

Zhong Jinwei continued to use his three-inch tongue to say: "The vassal king's clan can only eat and wait to die in the Ming Dynasty, and the descendants will be reduced to beggars; and if they are feudal overseas, they are equivalent to the emperor of a country. Fanzhi. With these two choices, if someone with a little bit of ambition chooses, he probably won't choose the former?"

Emperor Chongzhen himself was a very ambitious emperor who wanted to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. He listened to Zhong Jinwei's last question and secretly made a choice. Naturally, there was no doubt that he would choose feudal overseas.

So, he nodded and said, "Master Zhong has a point."

Zhong Jinwei chuckled, Emperor Chongzhen finally recognized his idea.He worked harder and continued: "Your Majesty, the process of feudal lords going overseas will also solve a big problem for the current Ming Dynasty."

"Oh, what's the big problem?" Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously.

"As far as I know, natural disasters will continue for more than ten years. Although I happened to wipe out most of the rogues in Qin, if the victims, refugees, and refugees cannot be properly resettled, there will be no guarantee that there will be no fire. If you want relief, Daming There are continuous disasters in various places, and the amount of money and food needed for disaster relief is also a sky-high amount."

After Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he followed Zhong Jinwei's words and said, "If a vassal king takes away a large part of the victims, refugees, and refugees, the imperial court will be able to provide disaster relief easily. Master Zhong, is that so?"

Zhong Jinwei smiled slightly, and then replied: "Exactly!"

Emperor Chongzhen stood in front of Zhong Jinwei, closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, opened his eyes suddenly, and said, "Master Zhong, what you said is still unreliable."
