Chapter 645
It's simply a slap!
In Zhu Guoqiang's view, the Si Shui Tucheng dared to rob and kill the people of the Ming Dynasty. What was there to be so brave that it was clearly slapped the Ming Dynasty in the face.
What year is it now!
It's the Great Ming Dynasty.
However, it seems that those natives never cared about the face of the Celestial Empire. As for them, they didn’t know what face was. The so-called “Celestial Empire” was apart from a few good sons, and they were not “far” in the eyes of others. Only when they wanted to take advantage of the Celestial Empire, they could think of the Celestial Empire. Their so-called tribute was actually to take advantage of the Daming. Later, when they were beaten, they remembered the Celestial Empire.
Many people say that robbing Chinese people is instigated by Westerners. But in fact? For those lazy natives, robbery and killing are far better than labor. If you have the chance to grab a few, and you don’t need to take responsibility, who would miss such an opportunity?
Even without the instigation of Westerners, they will be jealous of the wealth in the hands of Chinese people and look for the right opportunity to rob and kill Chinese people.
"How dare they!"
Recalling the bloody and tears of Chinese in Southeast Asia in another world, Zhu Guoqiang said furiously.
"Do they really think that I don't dare to kill anyone?"
Seeing that His Majesty was full of anger, Song Xuezhu, Gao Hongtu and others were all worried and secretly shouted that something was wrong. They hurriedly reported the report.
"Your Majesty, if the natives do not follow the etiquette and law, they will inevitably fail to follow the etiquette and law..."
With a muffled groan, Zhu Guoqiang said.
"Oh, if you don't talk about etiquette and law, then teach them etiquette and law. Don't talk about these people about any principles, laws, benevolence, righteousness and morality. For those natives, the Ming Dynasty only has one attitude, which is to fight against the teeth and blood, and that is, those who violate my great power in the future will be punished even if they are far away. And they will also punish their entire family."
None of their family can be let go of the punishment. Only in this way can they fear the power of the Ming Dynasty and never dare to offend the Ming Dynasty again.
Why do those natives dare to rob and kill Chinese and overseas Chinese again and again? To put it bluntly, isn’t it because they are fearless!
What makes them fearless is because they have never been retaliated!
But from now on, the Ming Dynasty will use his own knife to tell them what revenge is!
"Have you sent a fleet over the Nantianmen?"
"Yes, the troops have been sent over..."
After responding, Song Xuezhu said again.
"However, when the Governor's Office of the South Heaven Gate learned about this, some incidents occurred in Sishui. A ship merchant Wei Yunmei was robbed by natives when he arrived in Sishui. In order to protect his lives, he and dozens of crew members had to fight back and kill all the way to the city lord's office. Later, they fought with Ming Shang in the city to repel the local soldiers. Now Sishui has been controlled by Ming Shang, and the natives who killed Ming Shang have been killed on the spot..."
"Well killed!"
With a muffled groan, Zhu Guoqiang said again.
"Although I killed the main master, I can't forget this matter. They dare to kill me, Daming, and I will kill back thousands of times. The Lord of Sishui City is dead, but the Lord of Sishui is still there. He wants to kill the chicken to show the monkey and not take revenge on his death. It will only make the natives continue to ignore the Celestial Empire and oppress the people of the Ming Dynasty. Since Sishui is the territory of Ma Dalan, then destroy the country..."
For a moment, everyone was shocked, and Zhu Guoqiang said.
"It's just a native country. I have some confidence in our Ming soldiers. Dozens of sailors can capture a city, and it's the official army of Nantianmen? I think that just by relying on the troops and horses in Nantiantian and all over the place, it's enough to destroy horses and blue. The land in that place is fertile and rich in rice. It can be the largest granary in Nanyang. It's a pity that the natives can occupy it. Take it down!"
"His Majesty……"
When Student Song was about to refute, Zhu Guoqiang said again:
"The cabinet will use direct investigations on overseas matters in the future. The colony is different from the mainland. The colony department is responsible for the military, political and civil affairs there, and the colony is far overseas. If everything is reported and everything needs approval from Nanjing, when the decision is made here, the cucumbers and vegetables there may be cold. Since the governor of the colony is directly appointed by me, in the future, the colony will be given more initiative."
The expansion of the colony must not be subject to the cabinet, nor can it be influenced by traditional principles and laws. If the colony pays attention to the existence of religion and the love for the people, is it called a colony? Is it called a colony when the people from the sect leader do not enslave the local natives there? Is that called colony?
For Zhu Guoqiang, his most concerned thing was the expansion of the colony. As for the life and death of the natives, which colonist had considered it?
"His Majesty……"
Just when Song Xuezhu and others were about to object, Wang Xi reported.
"The Emperor, the Minister of Internal Affairs Chen Changgeng was looking for a meeting outside the hall."
"Let him in."
Then Zhu Guoqiang said again.
"The Colonial Division itself is independent of the six ministries and is a subordinate of the department I personally set up. In the future, the memorials of the Colonial Division will be submitted directly to the Prime Minister's Office."
It is more stable to hold power in one's own hands. If it is placed in the hands of these traditional civil servants, the Ming Dynasty's colonial cause would probably be destroyed. For the traditional civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, their desire to expand is simply low to the point of being extinct.
Even if the cost of overseas expansion is very low, they will have various concerns. They will always find reasons not to expand. Even now, with Taiwan, Hekou and Nantianmen, they feel that the most urgent task is to enrich the immigration of these places. As for other places, what is the purpose?
It’s better to master it yourself!
Chen Changgeng's interview interrupted the cabinet's discussion.
After the ceremony, Chen Changgeng took out a memorial to report.
"Your Majesty, I went to the palace to ask for my visit because I received a memorial from King Ping."
The memorial of King Ping!
In an instant, everyone was shocked.
King Ping!
It’s Zhu Cilang!
He was the eldest son of the late emperor and the former foundation of the Ming Dynasty. He handed over the memorial. For a moment, everyone turned their attention to that memorial.
What is written in the memorial of King Ping?
Unlike the past memorials of the vassal kings who were submitted to the Ministry of Rites and then presented to the cabinet, now the royal and royal family affairs are all under the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After all, this is a royal family chore.
Where is Ping Wang now?
King Ping is in Peiping!
What did he do in Peking? Of course, he was in Siling to guard the system for the late emperor. After all, he was no longer the foundation of the country and did not need to inherit the throne, so he needed to control the system for three years according to the prince's etiquette system. This also made King Ping and the others fade out of everyone's sight.
But now he took the initiative to submit a memorial.
There will be evil things if things are abnormal!
King Ping wouldn't do anything confusing!
"Pingwang..."
Zhu Guoqiang asked with a brow jump.
"King Ping?"
"yes."
Chen Changgeng lowered his head and reported.
"This is a memorial from King Ping..."
“Support it!”
After taking the memorial handed over by Wang Xi and unfolding it, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the contents above and didn't say anything for a long time. Everyone looked at His Majesty's unpredictable expression and couldn't help but "splitting" in their hearts.
Isn’t it that King Ping did anything confusing?
Li Jiantai, Lu Zhenfei and the others muttered in their hearts, King Ping must not do stupid things! After all, His Majesty is indeed quite kind to their brothers and third brothers.
At least that's the case now.
If you anger your Majesty, your brother San will be dead and will never be buried!
In fact, the attitudes of the three vassal kings, Ping, Ding and Yong, can be said to be extremely complicated. On the one hand, they were thinking about the kindness of the late emperor and believed that Your Majesty should treat them well. After all, Your Majesty was favored by the late emperor to pass on the throne. But on the other hand, they also knew that for the Gan Sheng Dynasty, these three vassal kings were also the biggest unstable factor.
No matter what they are in the future, there will inevitably be people who are dissatisfied with Your Majesty to use the three of them as their banner. What should Your Majesty do then?
Should I kill, or not?
This is really hard to say!
In the past two years, the reason why everyone has not mentioned their brothers again is because they are observing the system for the late emperor, but what three years later? Will anyone use the three of them as a banner? After all, Your Majesty has indeed offended many people in the past two years.
King Ping wouldn't be pushed out to be a gun!
Just as they were speculating on the contents of King Ping’s memorial, they only heard His Majesty say.
"Show them the memorial of King Ping!"
Although Your Majesty's tone was plain, everyone could hear that Your Majesty's tone seemed a little strange.
Chapter completed!
