Domineering Daming

Standing on the pier, the wind was cold and chilling.

Cao Wenzhao said: "Your Majesty, the food and grass rewarded to Jiangsu have not been used up, and the rest will be used in Ryukyu and Satsuma. There should be no need to worry about it for a year or so. The 3 soldiers were transferred from Shandong and Zhejiang. Quite a lot, and also brought some money and food, there is no need to alarm the court for the time being..."

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it. The memorials I received are one after another. The two assistant ministers of the cabinet, the minister of the six ministers, and even Qin Liangyu from Sichuan wrote to me to persuade me. I'm 'prioritizing things, I'm looking sideways', tell me how much pressure I'm under..."

Cao Wenzhao defended Ryukyu and conquered Satsuma, and he stayed here for more than half a month. Anyone with a discerning eye knew what he was going to do. When the country was in trouble, it was normal to repeatedly mobilize troops and provoke criticism. Zhu Xu couldn't blame him Who can only "fuzzy" processing.

Cao Wenzhao didn't get entangled in this, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, overseas, do you need a prince to sit in charge?"

Zhu Xu frowned immediately, but couldn't answer for a while.

Cao Wenzhao's idea was beyond his expectation, but within reason, he was the one who revealed this link.

Overseas is vast, and the generals outside can't be allowed to mess around without restraint. If they are not careful, they will really become "fan towns", and they need to be restrained.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, wandered around in his mind, and said, "Well, who do you think is suitable?"

"I don't know." Cao Wenzhao replied very decisively.The level involving the prince is quite sensitive, and even he can't get involved.

Zhu Xu just asked casually, still thinking about the candidate, and couldn't help sighing after a while.Zhu Di's captive breeding policy made it difficult for him to find a suitable candidate because there were not many talents in the clan.

Luzon and Batavia are the two cores. The rulers of the Philippines and the Malay Archipelago need at least two clan princes.The ones in his hands are either ambitious and harbor dissatisfaction, or are mediocre and incompetent, only know how to enjoy themselves and can't do anything.

Cao Wenzhao also noticed it, and murmured: "Your Majesty, you can also send the inner eunuch to go to sea to be in charge of supervision."

Zhu Xu took a look at Cao Wenzhao, nodded and said, "Well, I know what to choose, and I will decide who to choose. You go, and I must pay attention to what I have to tell you."

"Yes!"

Cao Wenzhao responded, and then strode towards the port not far away.

There Yu Anxing was busy arranging manpower and manning the boats, they were going to go to sea overnight.

"Let's go!"

After a long time, Cao Wenzhao raised his long knife and shouted loudly.

"Long live my emperor! Long live Daming!"

Five thousand soldiers shouted loudly, holding up their weapons, their murderous aura was like a cloud and surging like a tide.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and watched from afar, his heart was agitated, and there was a touch of pride in his eyes.

Watching the fleet drift away, Zhu Xu couldn't help saying to himself: "I really want to go with them..."

Cao Huachun stood beside Zhu Xu, listened to his words, and looked at the fleet, sailing in the dark, looking like a monster from a distance, very attractive.

After a long while, Zhu Xu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Tomorrow's Dutch captives should be escorted back. At that time, they will be separated and interrogated strictly. Some talents will be kept. They can be handed over to the Royal Council or Flooded everywhere, in short, people must make the best use of their talents and things.”

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, until he could no longer see it, then turned and returned.

Next, there will be too many things to do, Zhu Xu said as he walked: "I remember that there is a 'Fanyuan' over the Royal Political Council, which specializes in learning foreign languages ​​and dealing with foreign affairs. How is it now?"

Speaking of which, Cao Huachun worked harder than Zhu Xu, and if Zhu Xu couldn't remember or forgot things, he had to make up for them.

Cao Huachun recalled it, and said: "Your Majesty, it used to belong to Honglu Temple, but now it belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and there is a Du Fan under it."

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "Peel off, put it under the cabinet, and set up the Department of Foreign Affairs, which is divided into two types: business affairs and government affairs. Business affairs are placed in Jinyin Village, and government affairs are in the capital. The Commerce Department is responsible for the approval, management, and negotiation of economic and trade exchanges. etc.; the Secretary of Government Affairs is responsible for the examination, communication, reception, and visits of foreign people, and will send special envoys to other countries to facilitate exchanges..."

Cao Huachun wrote it down verbatim, and said, "Yes."

Doomed to be a lot of things tonight, Zhu Xu dismissed everyone, calmed down, and picked up a pen at the desk.

On the title, forcefully write four characters: United Fleet.

Then he began to write about its functions, functions, and the meaning of existence. He focused on it and wrote down eloquently.

In short, it is to use Ming Dynasty as the core, contact neighboring countries, and potentially include the Netherlands, Spain, etc., to form an open and large international navy. The Internet can be used to maintain order in various countries, as a powerful strategic weapon, to deter all countries!

For Japan, especially Southeast Asian countries, which are deeply threatened by European colonists, they must need the protection of the Ming Navy, and naturally they will not refuse to participate.

The Dutch and Spain will no longer be willing to fight against Ming. They also need to deal with the threat of pirates and protect merchant ships. There will be needs, and they will be more determined to maintain influence in the Far East after the defeat.

It is even more necessary for Ming Dynasty. Someone contributes money and effort to help Ming Dynasty build a navy, and it can also bind other countries. Tactics and strategies are very important.

These are all drafts, and Zhu Xu still needs to think about them and discuss them with others.

Write it aside, then pick up the pen, and the title is: Rules of Passage at Sea.

I couldn't stop once I wrote it, and I wrote a lot of detailed rules such as the rules of sea passage, risk avoidance, humanitarian assistance, parking, supply, and friendly cooperation.

After writing it, I blew it, put it aside, and continued to write: Free Trade Law.

This is to require the signatory countries to open up trade with each other and exchange what they need, which will have a great impact on those closed and backward countries. Naturally, the benefits will be the Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands and other big countries or countries that are established by trade.

This is a lot of writing, even when Zhu Xu finished writing, he still has more ideas, and always feels that the writing is not detailed enough.

Then there are the arms export rules, which strictly stipulate that firearms cannot be exported to the Far East and the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, etc., and no damages should be done in the areas of their respective interests.

Zhu Xu wrote a lot on this page, and it has been echoed in his mind for countless times.

Finally, when the sky was about to dawn, the titles of the two pieces of paper in front of Zhu Xu were: Treaty of Friendship between the Ming Empire and the Kingdom of Spain, and Treaty of Friendship between the Ming Empire and the Republic of the Netherlands.

There are a lot of things written in it, but in fact it is the treaty that Ming swallowed the colonies of the two countries and forced the two countries to surrender. It repositions the relationship between Ming and the two countries, divides the sphere of influence, establishes the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty in the Far East, and then there are various cooperation treaties , the most important thing is Haimao!

Facing Ming Dynasty, a powerful country in the east, the two countries have no other choice but to cooperate!

Zhu Xu wrote all night, his head was empty, and he didn't know what to write after looking at these for a while.

Turning his head to look out the window, the sky was white in the distance, and there were still a lot of things to do during the day, Zhu Xu rubbed his face, after tidying up, he turned and went to bed, pulled the quilt to sleep.

The white belly of the fish gradually turned red, and waves slowly rose on the sea, beating against the coast.

Cao Huachun went out of the base and picked him up personally—Ping Wang had arrived.

King Ping, with a big belly and swinging his arms, listened to the report of yesterday's naval victory, his eyes widened, and he said to Cao Huachun in surprise, "Your majesty has a far-sighted vision. From now on, my Ming Dynasty will no longer be in danger of the sea. It's really gratifying to congratulate." ..."

Cao Huachun smiled, and accompanied King Ping to the base.

King Ping's face was happy, he swung his arms more vigorously, blinked his small eyes, and said with a smile: "Elder-in-law, what did the emperor say recently?"

Cao Huachun bowed slightly and said, "Who is the prince referring to?"

King Ping moved closer and said, "It's about Annan."

Zhu Xu had revealed to him before that he wanted him to become a feudal clan in Annan.
