Regarding the idea of ​​the Jingxuan Chi Road, Zhu Qiyu was naturally not the inventor, but the creation and invention of Zhan Tianyou, a railway engineer who was very simple. The Ming Dynasty happened to build this Chi Road, so it could be applied.

If the Jingxuan Chi Road can be successfully constructed, then the Kowloon Official Road plan of the Chi Dao Trunk Line in the Ming Dynasty can continue to be implemented.

Zhu Qiyu had high hopes for this Chi Road and even sent Yu Qian to supervise it personally, which shows that he attached great importance to it.

Zhu Qiyu picked up another memorial, put it on the table, and said quite seriously: "Songjiangfu Shipyard plans to launch thirty Ming Dynasty treasure ships next year, please order the voyage to the West."

Haining and Lujiang are battleships, while the Ming Dynasty treasure ships are ocean-going ships, so they can be built faster. The armed strength of these thirty ocean-going ships is far less than that of Haining and Lujiang, but they are still equipped with artillery, bowl-mouth blunderbuss, long and short

Guns and other firearms.

Of course, whether it is a battleship or an ocean-going ship, in the eyes of the small country of Zuoer, there is no difference. They are all heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.

Yu Qian read the memorial and asked with some confusion: "Isn't this something that was agreed upon in Songjiang Mansion before?"

Zhu Qiyu wanted Li Binyan to go see the horizon, but as the governor of Songjiang in the Ming Dynasty, Li Binyan could not leave Songjiang Mansion and the Ming Dynasty, so he had to let Li Binyan, the third prince and his grandfather Tang Xing, go to the horizon on his behalf.

look.

These thirty Ming Dynasty treasure ships were the ships that Tang Xing and Li Binyan used to sail around the world. In order to prepare for the global voyage, Songjiang Prefecture Shipyard specially customized ships for the fleet to brave the wind and waves, and Songjiang Prefecture also began to recruit sailors.

Lux Pass, etc.

All preparatory work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In addition to the main fleet, Ming Dynasty also has a fleet that will set off from Ryukyu and head east from Japan to survey the world's shipping routes. This ocean-going fleet will never come back, just like Xu Fu went to sea and was never heard from again.

, to explore.

This group was extremely small, with only thirteen ships, and the leader was Peng Sui, the Ming Dynasty naval master.

This was a grand strategic plan for the Ming Dynasty to develop both land and sea. Yu Qian could not see any problems.

Zhu Qiyu said with some sadness: "I am reminded of the treasure ships from the Yongle period. Even if they were dismantled, bought, or chopped for firewood, they would just rot on the ship's berth."

The Ming Dynasty is not short of money, nor is it short of raw materials. The timber in Luchuan and Jiaozhi is enough for the Ming Dynasty to build a century-old sail warship without any shortage of timber; and after nearly ten years of maritime development and shipyard construction, the Ming Dynasty is not short of industrial craftsmen; Maritime Hall

Beiya, Nanya, Songjiang Santang, the Ming Dynasty did not lack generals and boat masters; the Ming Dynasty also had no shortage of sailors.

What makes Zhu Qiyu sad is that the previous treasure ship was slowly rotting on the ship's berth.

This kind of decay is like a wound that cannot be healed. The dull pain from time to time reminds Zhu Qiyu how the Ming Dynasty's maritime activities were unprecedentedly prosperous. This kind of dull pain will appear from time to time. A sting is worse than a fire.

It's a pleasure to burn.

"Alas." Yu Qian's myriad emotions turned into a sigh. The monarch and his ministers were silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the entire imperial study became extremely depressing.

Yu Qian was a Jinshi in the 19th year of Yongle. He was among the first batch of Jinshi after the Ming Dynasty moved the capital. He was also the first Jinshi who dared to criticize the current policy and criticize Zhu Di to his face in important life events such as the imperial examination. Yu Qian was a personal experience of this period of history.

Speaker and witness, Your Majesty is sad that the ship is rotting quietly, why is Yu Qian not sad?

"Compared with Yongle today, it is still far behind. I and you should work hard to move forward and live up to the importance of the ancestral temple and the country." Zhu Qiyu judged what he had done in the past ten years and believed that there were still many gaps compared to Yongle years.

, so we need to move on.

"Your Majesty is wise." Yu Qian's words were filled with certainty.

Your Majesty is extremely wise. How did Your Majesty ascend to the throne?

King Jili was captured and stayed in Yibei. The Ming Dynasty was leaderless. From King Yin to the emperor, he finally killed his brother King Jili with his own hands and secured the throne.

In this case, Your Majesty can completely exaggerate all the events of King Jizhu's fourteen years in power, such as the reduction of 70% of the official salary in the Prince's Palace, which is worthy of portraying King Jizhu's dissatisfaction.

As long as His Majesty opens this mouth, countless people will follow to criticize King Jili's faults. In this way, His Majesty's throne will become more stable.

But His Majesty did not do that.

After the death of King Jili, His Majesty rarely mentioned it, and did not use his mouthpiece. Hu Hui, the Minister of Rites, the eunuch of the Three Classics Factory, Di Bao, etc., criticized King Jili verbally and in writing, and did not criticize the sins of the past.

liquidation.

Your Majesty was obviously so distressed, but still did not do that, because if he did, more people would fish in troubled waters, and the consequences would be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is fully aware of the consequences.

If King Jili returned to Beijing for restoration, would he be so merciful and soft-hearted?

People will correct their mistakes when they realize it, but King Jili will not. Yu Qian understands this very well.

Therefore, Your Majesty is wise, but King Jili is foolish.

Yu Qian is a direct minister, and when he says that His Majesty is wise, his words are clear and meaningful.

After Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian discussed state affairs for a long time, they ended today's memorial.

"Has Yuan Bin's memorial arrived this month?" Zhu Qiyu asked about Yuan Bin. He calculated the time and found that it was time for Yuan Bin to submit his memorial. He received a memorial every month, even if it was nothing important, and he also reported the memorial to greet him.

The situation of the Japanese Kingdom.

As the largest Warring States daimyo in Japan, Yamano Yuan Gongfang is now extremely powerful. Yuan Bin, who holds Yamano Ginzan and Aki Ginzan, seems not satisfied, because the largest Iwami Ginzan in Japan is still not under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Recently, Yuan Bin is seeking to eliminate the Yamana clan entrenched in Iwami Ginzan.

Xing'an rummaged through the memorials, handed Yuan Bin's memorials to His Majesty and said: "It has just been delivered. The sea is not as good as the land. Sometimes it is two days late, and it is common to be two days early."

Zhu Qiyu finished reading the memorial and said with bright eyes: "Yuan Gong wanted to eliminate the Yamana clan entrenched in Ishimi Yinshan, but he didn't do it himself, but borrowed the hands of others. Yuan Bin is so smart."

It was not Yuan Gongfang's forces who were responsible for eliminating the entrenched forces of Iwami Ginzan, but Ouchi Kyouhiro of the Ouchi clan and Nizi Qingding of the Nizi clan.

The cleverness of this decision is that Yuan Bin's power in the Japanese country is too strong. If he forcibly annexes Iwami Ginzan at this time, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who has no ability but some strange hobbies, may have to call on all the daimyo of the Japanese country.

, resist Yuan Bin together.

Methods such as jointly defeating Dong Zhuo should not be used too easily.

However, Yuan Bin did not use force this time, but used borrowed swords to kill people, and used the other two daimyo to annex it instead of directly controlling it. This would not cause concern to all the daimyo, but could also keep Iwami Ginzan under his control.

"It was the idea of ​​the envoy Li Bing." Xing'an explained with a smile. As a poisonous man, Li Bing's strategies are naturally very vicious, but it does not mean that Li Bing can only use force to pressure people and cannot judge the situation.

The situation in Japan and the power in Yuan Bin's hands were not strong enough to sweep away all the great names in Japan.

"Li Bing's daughter is determined to marry into the palace. Li Bing also loves his daughter very much. In order for his daughter to marry into the palace, he even traveled all the way to the Japanese country. But how can it be so easy to enter Tai'an Palace?

"?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Xing'an and asked, "Then Li Bing's daughter is married, right?"

"No, she has become a nun." Xing'an said helplessly: "Li Bing's daughter is still at home, and there are many people who have talked about getting married. Later, she announced that she has become a nun and will not marry."

This Li Bing's daughter is also a bit angry. If your emperor doesn't marry her, I won't marry her either.

Tai'an Palace has the rules of Tai'an Palace. His Majesty has decided not to accept the daughters of civil servants, so he won't accept them, even if it means breaking the rules. Rules are rules. Your Majesty wants to be extra merciful, so Xing'an also needs to explain it.

It's okay for Li Bing's daughter to be fine, but what about the maid?

Guard against day and night, it is difficult to guard against house thieves.

Zhu Qiyu did not intend to break the rules. Tai'an Palace is his home and it is Zhu Qiyu's private matter. He will not mix public and private matters.

"I hope this Li Bing will not hold a grudge against me and delay official business." Zhu Qiyu approved Yuan Bin's memorial and ended the topic.

Will Li Bing be resentful because his daughter cannot get married, which will affect his official duties?

Definitely not.

At this time, Yuan Bin was discussing with Ji Duo, Yue Qian, Chen Fuyin, Li Bing and others in the guard pavilion of the Honmaru Palace in the Seto Inland Sea Kaijo Castle of Japan. They were discussing how to gradually encroach on the Yamana clan of Iwami Ginzan.

"The warriors of the Ouchi clan and Nizi clan are no match for the Yamana clan." Yuan Bin looked at the Tang newspaper in his hand and said to the other four people.

The attack of the Ouchi clan and the Nizi clan against the Yamana clan has begun. Even the Yamana clan, whose strength has been greatly reduced in the melee in Kyoto, the Ouchi clan and the Nizi clan are still no match for the Yamana clan. They were beaten back and forth.

Discard the armor.

Li Bing said indifferently: "Let the Ouchi clan and the Nizi clan consume the strength of the Yamana clan, and then send Yuan Gongfang's warriors there, just to change their clothes."

Yuan Bin was silent for a while. Li Bing was a poisonous person after all, and he said such words so plainly.

"That's okay. It's just a fight between trapped beasts. Let the Ouchi clan and the Nizi clan consume it." Yuan Bin put down the newspaper and said with some hesitation: "I heard that Li Yushi's daughter became a nun. Li Yushi

, this twisted melon is not sweet."

"Mr. Yuan..." Li Bingshan smiled and said, "It's not me who said that if Mr. Yuan returns to Beijing in the future, he will do whatever His Majesty tells him to do. If His Majesty doesn't say it, don't do it. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no bones left."

Already."

"Huh?" Yuan Bin looked at Li Bing with some confusion.

"Do you know who those civil servants standing on the Fengtian Palace are?" Li Bing said calmly: "They are all a group of monsters who eat people without spitting out their bones."

"Political monsters who have no love for their children and no emotions. They hold the world's interests in their hands and play games in the court. How can they care about personal affairs without caring about the people of the world?"

Li Bing laughed at himself and said: "I am also the censor of Qiandu standing in the court, and someone who has a seat at the banquet, so I am the same as them."

"Today, in order to make great achievements, I can assist Mr. Yuan in his rampage in the Japanese country. Tomorrow, for the sake of profit, I can also betray Mr. Yuan, who is the most ruthless scholar."

"Yuan Gongfang, Commander Ji and Commander Chen must not talk openly and openly with scholars."

Li Bing's was a completely well-intentioned reminder. He came to Japan with the intention of marrying his daughter into the Tai'an Palace, but if he couldn't do it, he could also get a miraculous merit card for himself, and then use it as capital to go further.

It is true that you dote on your daughter, and it is also true that you want to build a successful career.

Yuan Bin was silent for a long time and said: "Yu Shaobao is also a scholar. What you said is not comprehensive and biased."

As the most dangerous and brave general in the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Bin rarely said something for scholars. Not all scholars in the world are what Li Bing said. For example, Yu Shaobao has love and justice.

Li Bing immediately shook his head and said: "Yu Shaobao's situation is special. Although he is the head of a hundred officials, he is now the Marquis of Wen'an with hereditary military honors, and is no longer a civil servant."

Hereditary inheritance is the end point of official selection. Yu Qian has already reached the end point. Of course he can stand on the dry bank and watch the show.
