Chapter 395: Disobedience to Wang Hua, naturally sinking into the sea(1/2)

Yu Qian took a deep breath. He had something to say, but he always felt that he couldn't understand, so he just sent someone to invite Hu Yi.

Shi Heng, Yu Qian, and Hu Yi, the three important officials of the Ming Dynasty gathered in the martial arts lecture hall at this time. Their discussions would affect the policy trend of the maritime trade affairs for decades later.

Hu Yi read the content they discussed and thought about it carefully for a long time.

Hu Yi said with a very serious expression: "Your Majesty, I have a word."

"Tell me, report it privately, and you will talk about everything." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

The issue that can make Hu Yi worry is definitely a very serious issue.

"Your Majesty, how did these people become abandoned overseas people? The minister said in detail." Hu Yi took a sip of tea and talked about the past.

His eyes were filled with memories, and he was the only one who could fully explain this history in the entire court.

"Your Majesty, before the fifth year of Hongwu, there was no sea ban on the Ming Dynasty, and even three-masted ships were all taboos."

"In the first year of Wu, the generals of Guanzhong recommended Li Siqi as the leader of the alliance to reject Wang Baobao. Wang Baobao's subordinate generals, Gao, occupied Weihui County to oppose Wang Baobao. Emperor Shun of Yuan ordered the abolition of Wang Baobao's military power, and Wang Baobao had to cross the Yangtze River to enter the Hetao area to cultivate."

The first year of Wu was the year name that was used for only one year before the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. That year, the world was unpredictable.

The Yuan Dynasty continued to fight, and peasant troops from all over the country seized the Lu Zhongyuan.

Hu Yi smiled and said, "In the first year of Wu, Emperor Gao of Emperor Gao destroyed Zhang Shicheng's troops. Zhang Shicheng was escorted to Yingtian Mansion. Emperor Gao asked him whether he was convinced. Zhang Shicheng did not say anything and eventually hanged himself."

"Fang Guozhen's separatist rule over Liangzhe was still unwilling to accept the will of heaven and wanted to compete with Emperor Taizu Gao for the destiny. He was beaten by the Ming Dynasty. Fang Guozhen fled to Zhoushan, and Liao Yongzhong and Tang He and others sailed to attack."

"Fang Guozhen surrendered after a long journey, and since then the two Zhejiangs have been pacified."

Fang Guozhen was still very good at fighting. In the name of Emperor Shun of Yuan, he attacked Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shicheng surrendered to Yuan, and then Zhang Shicheng's food and grass were all escorted to Yuan Dadu by Fang Guozhen.

Fang Guozhen shed the last drop of blood for the Yuan Dynasty, but was defeated and captured.

"This obviously has a lot to do with what we are talking about in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise Mr. Hu would not have said that." Zhu Qiyu was not anxious and signaled Hu Yi to continue speaking.

Hu Yi bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"In the first year of Wu, Emperor Taizu Gao met with the two Zhejiang maritime merchants, headed by Zhu Daoshan, such as Sun Tianfu, Chen Baosheng, etc., to meet together."

"After the ministers of Liangzhe were attached, Zhu Daoshan led a group of merchants to pay tribute to the court."

"The Emperor Gao praised his ability and accepted his words, saying: When he heard it overseas, he knew that the glory of tribute to the mountains was like this. At that time, the sea ships gathered in the Long River, and people from afar could look at the capital and look at the palaces. People also saw the prosperity of Chinese clothes, rituals and music, and sang to each other."

Zhu Qiyu understood the Ming Dynasty's marine policy in the early Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Daoshan, Sun Tianfu, Chen Baosheng, and the three major maritime merchants at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty were all from Zhangzhou. After Fang Guozhen was defeated, they entered the court to pay tribute to seek heaven's grace.

It allows people from all over the world to look at the palaces, let everyone see the prosperity of Chinese clothing, rituals and music, and spread the praises.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang raised the banner: to expel the Tartars and restore the Chinese clothes.

So Zhu Daoshan's flattery was indeed done.

Seeing that His Majesty understood the maritime policy of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Yi spoke and said, "In the first year of Wu, there was a method of drawing points. In the second year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao ordered Cai Zheyun to participate in politics: Fujian is lying on the sea, and people are rich, and foreign ships are in exchanges, and now the method of drawing points is reduced."

"The initial method of drawing three points was to draw ten points, and the people complained, and the emperor loved the people, and reduced the ten points to six points."

The tax on physical tax was reduced from 30% to 6% of tax.

The main reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did this was that the fishing boats were taxed in this way at that time, and they were too heavy for fishermen, so they were determined to be six points.

"In the third year of Hongwu, Li Xing, commander of Xinghua Guard, Li Chun, secretly sent someone out to do business, and Emperor Gao never punished him."

"In the first year of Hongwu, Lanxiushan traitors in Changguozhou (i.e. Zhoushan) obtained a seal from the Yuan Dynasty, and used this seal to gather people to uprising, attack the official army, and crossed the sea from Changguozhou, and attacked Xiangshan County. The Ming Taizu sent officers and soldiers to defeat him."

"In the fifth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao issued an edict to form the remaining troops of Fang Guozhen and the residents of Lanxiu Mountain on the Zhoushan Islands into an army, and a total of 11,100 people were moved to Shaanxi."

"Since then, the Ming Dynasty included the maritime ban in national laws, and since then, the fake Japanese pirates, maritime merchants and other talents have become abandoned people of the Celestial Empire."

Hu Yi said with a trembling hand: "It's been five years of Hongwu."

In the fifth year of Hongwu, the Battle of Damingling North returned in disgrace. After the failure of the military adventure, it was a very heavy price. This price was a lot, and the same was true for the maritime ban.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Fang Guozhen's remaining troops were migrated, and 110,000 people went to Shaanxi to implement a maritime ban.

The shame of Lingbei was not washed away until the Battle of Fisher Sea. After that, there were too many things in the Ming Dynasty, including the death of Prince Zhu Biao, the Lan Yu case and other major cases.

The matter of ban on the sea has become a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, since the relocation of people in Hongwu in the fifth year of Hongwu, he has been no longer a Ming Dynasty person in the country's laws." Hu Yi explained why there was a case of abandoning people overseas.

The fact that all fake Japanese pirates, pirates and maritime merchants were classified as abandoned overseas was the bitter fruit brought by military adventures and the bitter fruit that must be borne.

This is very similar to Su Taizong's new economic policy.

In the Soviet-Polish War from 1919 to 1921, the Soviet Union, which had already won a great victory, began a military adventure after achieving a huge victory.

The first phase of the Soviet-Polish war was anti-invasion operations, with high morale, while the second phase changed from anti-invasion to "liberation" of Poland, with low morale.

In the end, outside Warsaw, the Soviet army suffered casualties and was captured by as many as 150,000 people. In the Battle of Minsk, about 100,000 Soviet army were captured.

In the end, Su Taizu had to transform from wartime economic policies to new economic policies.

The same was true for the Ming Taizu. After the news of the defeat in Lingbei came, people were in panic. The Gao Emperor, who was positive, open and tolerant to the ocean, could only turn to conservative, banned and strict.

Zhu Qiyu understood what Hu Yi meant, were the abandoned people overseas subjects of the Ming Dynasty? This is a historical issue.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the abandoned people overseas were also ministers and workers of the Ming Dynasty. After the five years of Hongwu, the abandoned people overseas were not the same.

"Are there any difficulties?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Hu Yi smiled and said, "What's the difficulty?"

Zhu Qiyu asked these people, who were included in the scope of the Ming Dynasty's management and expanded the law enforcement power of the Ming Dynasty's laws to the abandoned people overseas, whether there were any difficulties in etiquette and law, and if so, how should they be overcome.

After all, it violates the ancestral system.

But Hu Yi said, is there any difficulty?

Since the first year of Emperor Gao of Taizu, there are only a few cases that encourage maritime trade and make decisions for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Taizu Gaozhao’s maritime ban was the law of ancestors. Isn’t it the law of ancestors that encouraged maritime trade in the early stage or even personally met with maritime merchants?

When used, Emperor Taizu Gao was the ancestor. When not used, Emperor Taizu Gao was not the ancestor?

Then is Emperor Taizu Gao an ancestor?

Hu Yi naturally had no problem. For Hu Yi, as long as His Majesty was not an open fire and killed the Empress Dowager, it would be fine.

Hu Yi knew very well that His Majesty was on a journey of great power, and that he was open and upright. If he wanted to kill Empress Dowager Sun, it would be a fire-like battle.

Just like His Majesty kills King Ji Li, he clearly told the world that I did this!

If Your Majesty really killed Empress Dowager Sun openly, Hu Yi would be really not easy to cleanse. At most, it would be a reason to be against the enemy, but it would not be able to completely block the world's long mouth.

But obviously Empress Dowager Sun was not stupid. She handed over the authority early on, ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name, prayed for the next life of King Jili and the Huichang Bo Sun Zhong, and prayed for the children of the King Ji's palace.

There is no big benefit, why did Your Majesty kill Queen Mother Sun?

Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time and said, "So the Battle of Zhoushan is not only a turning point for the resurgence of the Ming Navy, but also a turning point for the Ming Dynasty's maritime policy, which will include abandoned people overseas and under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty."

Yu Qian said with some confusion: "What about those who do not accept the king's transformation?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "The sea is so wide, isn't there any place where they are sinking into the sea?"

Of course there is.

It is a custom to be buried in the water. If it is sunk into the sea, even the soul will be in the sea forever in the current Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian sighed relieved. There was only one word difference between generous and lenient.

Obviously Your Majesty will forgive you. The sins that were previously unaware of the Ming Dynasty’s hands and feet, but the traitors and evil people still cannot escape the fate of the sinking sea.

Shi Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take Wu Fenying to the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse to cooperate with the Songjiang Maritime Warehouse?"

"Just don't go, let Shi Biao go there, Zhu Yong is also very good at fighting."

Shi Heng certainly knew the consequences of military failure. In the current Ming Dynasty, military failure only means death.

If he was defeated, His Majesty would have to bear a considerable price. This was not what Shi Heng wanted to see, so he was going to go in person.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "No need. Tang Xing, Tao Jin, Ren Li and others are not fools. Since they dare to do it, they naturally have a decision and let them do it themselves."

Shi Heng brought the Four Martial Arts Battalion and had just returned from the Southern Yai. He should have a full rest. The tired army fought again. This is the characteristic of Shi Heng, but he wasting his troops was not what Zhu Qiyu wanted to see.

Yu Qian smiled and said, "There is no possibility of victory in Zhoushan. Even if it is a short-term victory, it will be fine if it temporarily retreats to the Ming army. If it doesn't work once, it will be ten times, and if it doesn't work ten times, it will be twenty times."

“Zhoushan is so close.”

Shi Heng nodded, there was indeed this reason. He smiled and said, "That minister also takes a break."

Zhu Qiyu thought of the content of Li Xian’s memorial and said: “In the fifth year of Jingtai, a new student will be selected, and fifty people will be added. These fifty people will be added. Li Xian’s memorial will be set as an Enko in the future.”

"Shangshu Hu?"

The Ministry of Rites was in charge of the imperial examination affairs, Hu Yi shook his head and said, "Governor Li is really not afraid at all."

Li Xian’s tricks in Nanzhili were really detrimental.

Hu Yi is the one who cleanses his throne. Li Xian has fully utilized his subjective initiative and actively promoted the process of the Ming Dynasty. Li Xian's reputation must be worse than Hu Yi.

But Li Xian himself said, what reputation does he have?

"It's okay, it's just two peaches killing three soldiers." Hu Yi didn't think this matter was difficult to clean.
