I am the king of the dead

When someone came in, she sat up straight and began to see the doctor.

"Wanniang, why are you here?" Ran Siniang was also taken aback when she saw the person coming.

Chen Wanniang said with a smile, "Come and see you."

"No, why did you come out of Tai'an Palace?" Ran Siniang looked at Chen Wanniang dully, logically speaking, shouldn't the servants come out of the palace?

Chen Wanniang looked around, came closer, and said in a low voice: "This is the rule in Tai'an Palace, don't tell anyone, or those scholar-bureaucrats will talk to His Majesty again."

"Your Majesty moved from the palace to live in Tai'an Palace. There are not as many rules as there are in the palace. Palace people are allowed to go out every day."

"But every time I go out, I have to follow three or four people behind me."

Chen Wanniang said with a smile, "How are you?"

"It's fine, you stretch out your hand, and I'll feel your pulse." Ran Siniang's life was really good.

She looked at Chen Wanniang's expectant eyes, and said helplessly, "Wanniang, why are you so anxious, just wait a little longer."

"Oh, it's all my stomach's disappointment!" Chen Wanniang patted her stomach. She followed His Majesty for so long, but there was no movement.

After returning to Beiya, His Majesty spent the most time in Queen Wang's room. When she was in Nanya, she ate meat alone, but now she can only drink soup.

"Not enough greed." Ran Siniang said with a soft smile, "It wasn't the time to beg for mercy all day long in Nanya. When I couldn't eat, I insisted on holding on, and when I couldn't eat, I thought about it day and night."

Chen Wanniang said triumphantly: "I can eat some soup even if I drink it, what about you, what about you?"

Ran Siniang glanced at Chen Wanniang, grabbed the medicine, and said helplessly, "Don't you know what happens when you offend a doctor?"

"Okay, you were in poor health when you were young, I grabbed some medicine for you and took it every day, did you hear me?"

"Otherwise, your stomach will always be deflated."

Chen Wanniang smiled and brought up the medicine and said, "Then I'm leaving, so I won't delay Dr. Ran's seeing a doctor."

Ran Siniang leaned on the back of the chair and was lost in thought, not knowing what the man who teased her with trembling heart was doing now.

Zhu Qiyu was in the lecture hall at this time, discussing with Shi Heng, Zhao Mei, Zhu Yong and others about the pirates in Zhoushan. Yu Qian, as Marquis of Wen'an, also attended the meeting.

The Shipping Department of Songjiang Prefecture gnashed its teeth against the Zhoushan Japanese pirates.

Because Zhoushan has two seaports, Shuangyu Port and Cen Port. These two seaports are places where Tang Xing, Tao Jin and others have always wanted to calm down.

Because these two seaports are right at the gate of Songjiang City Shipping Department, unless the Zhoushan Japanese pirates are completely suppressed, Songjiang City Shipping Department is in name only.

This discussion has come to an end, and Zhu Qiyu concluded: "From the perspective of geographical location, the two ports of Zhoushan are actually the ports of Ningbo Shipyard, and they are outside Songjiang Shipyard. They must be eliminated, otherwise There is no way to talk about the Daming Maritime Trade."

"The Shibo Department of the Ming Dynasty and the privately established Shibo Department of the Ming Dynasty have formed conflicts and contradictions in the country's system."

In fact, Zhoushan's Cen Port and Shuangyu Port have essentially formed the nature of privately-established city ships, but they are different from the Mizhou City Ship Department. Confucian mansion's industry, and Zhoushan's privately established market ship composition is extremely complicated.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "Besides, since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the pirates in Zhoushan have increasingly become a confidant of Daming's maritime trade. From the perspective of financial affairs, the suppression of the pirates in Zhoushan is undoubtedly to ensure the smooth flow of maritime trade and merchant ships."

"Even if it's more utilitarian, this group of people don't pay taxes, and they are entrenched in Zhoushan. If there is wind, they will be merchant ships, and if there is no wind, they will be pirates. After calming down, they can increase a lot of taxes."

Yu Qian echoed and said: "In fact, sea trade without management is even more chaotic. Sea trade itself has natural risks, but the disorder of goods prices has led to increased risks. The reckless management methods of private market ships are not in line. For the benefit of the common people, merchants and court of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "But even the reckless management seems to be much better than the management of Japan itself."

Yu Qian agreed: "That's exactly the case, so those Japanese pirates would rather be pirates than stay in the Japanese country."

The Wa country is at the final moment of stability, and in a few years, large-scale turmoil will inevitably break out. In this regard, Yu Qian believes that it is the best time for Ming to intervene armed.

Zhu Qiyu talked about the pirates in Zhoushan, and he continued: "From a military point of view, after the pirates in Zhoushan are suppressed, a naval training ground can be set up in Zhoushan, which is of great significance. , is not difficult."

Tang Xing, Ren Li, Xu Chengzong and others are fully confident in the suppression of the Zhoushan Japanese pirates and are actively preparing.

Zhu Qiyu stopped to discuss the matter of the Zhoushan Japanese pirates. The suppression of the Zhoushan Japanese pirates was undoubtedly a turning point, a turning point for the Ming Dynasty from the inside out.

But before the turning point, Zhu Qiyu was still worried and said: "We have investigated through Mizhou Shipping Department, Jeju Island, and Zhoushan, and found that there are no Japanese pirates among these pirates."

There are as few Japanese pirates in Daming Japanese Pirates as there are potato chips in Lay’s Potato Chips.

Most of the Japanese pirates are Ming people, from top to bottom.

"Why are there Japanese pirates?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a frown.

Shi Heng said seriously: "Because there is no navy in the Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of the danger of Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period."

Yu Qian agreed very much and said: "It is caused by the weakness of the coastal defense, but the minister thought that he was chasing rent with the landlord, and the people were exhausted, so they could only sink into the sea and become bandits. It also has something to do with it."

Zhu Qiyu's edict to Ningyang Hou when he went to Fujian earlier explained this point. (118 chapters)

"The barbarians are the patients of Binhai. It is not the barbarians who dare to invade China, but China itself is the bandit."

"There are generals who are uneducated, have no way to support them, are forced by hunger and cold, and drive them into robbers, but they can't manage to disperse them and recruit them. Compared with the pain of raising them, they are successful, they join boats and build strongholds, and they capture officers and soldiers and burn Han ships. "

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said: "The scourge of the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty was caused by the Japanese's disobedience and invasion. Therefore, it is necessary to build the Zhoushan Water Division."

"The scourge of the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty was also due to the oppression of survival. The rural areas were very self-seeking, and the people suffered so much that they had to flee from the sea. This is what I have been doing all the time."

"Isn't the Ming court responsible for the scourge of the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty?"

"I think so."

"First of all, the law of the Ming Dynasty treats Japanese pirates, pirates, and maritime merchants equally, and regards them as abandoned citizens of the celestial dynasty, and does not treat them differently. I think it is inappropriate."

Yu Qian thought about it seriously, and asked suddenly: "Because of this, His Majesty doesn't care about the swords and knives on the merchant ships of various cities?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, this involves a problem, that is, whether these so-called pirates, maritime merchants, these abandoned people of the Celestial Dynasty are the subjects of Ming Dynasty."

Chapter 395 Don't accept Wang Hua, naturally sink into the sea

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

Shi Heng, Yu Qian, and Hu Wei, the three important ministers of Ming Dynasty, gathered in the martial arts hall at this time. Their discussions will affect the policy direction of Ming Dynasty's maritime trade affairs for decades to come.

After reading what they discussed, Hu Wei thought about it seriously for a long time.

Hu Wei said with a very solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I have a message."

"Talk, play it in private, and tell everything." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

The problem that can make Hu Wei worry is definitely a very serious problem.

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen will explain in detail how these people became abandoned overseas in the first place." Hu Yan took a sip of tea and talked about the past.

His eyes are full of memories. In the entire court, he is the only one who can fully explain this period of history.

"Your Majesty, five years before Hongwu, there was no sea ban in Ming Dynasty, even three-masted ships were not banned."

"In the first year of Wu, when the generals in Guanzhong promoted Li Siqi as the leader of the alliance, they rejected Wang Baobao. Wang Baobao's subordinates, Gao Gao, occupied Weihui County and opposed Wang Baobao. Emperor Yuan Shun ordered Wang Baobao's military power to be abolished. "

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

In the Yuan Dynasty, the internal struggle continued, and peasant armies from all over the country competed in the Central Plains.

Hu Yan said with a smile: "Taizu Emperor Gao Shenwu wiped out Zhang Shicheng's followers in the first year of Wu. Zhang Shicheng was escorted to Yingtian Mansion. Emperor Gao asked him if he would accept it. Zhang Shicheng didn't say a word, and finally hanged himself to death."

"Fang Guozhen separated the two Zhejiang provinces and still refused to obey the destiny. He wanted to compete with Emperor Taizu Gao for the destiny. He was beaten to pieces by Daming. Fang Guozhen fled into the sea and fled to Zhoushan. Liao Yongzhong and Tang He went on a boat attack."

"Fang Guozhen surrendered in desperation, and since then the two Zhejiang provinces have been pacified."

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

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 the abandoned people of the Ming Dynasty we talked about, otherwise Hu Shangshu wouldn't have said that." Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry, and motioned Hu Wei to continue talking.

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

"In the first year of Wu, Emperor Taizu Gao received merchants from the two Zhejiang provinces, headed by Zhu Daoshan, Sun Tianfu, Chen Baosheng and others, to meet together."

"Since the two Zhejiang provinces were attached to each other, Zhu Daoshan was the first to lead a group of merchants to pay tribute to the court."

"Emperor Gao praised his ability, praised his words, and said: Hearing about it from overseas, everyone knows that the glory of paying tribute to mountains is like this. Even the sea ships gather in the Dragon River, and people from afar can look at the capital city and see the palace. And people see the prosperity of Chinese clothes, ceremonies and music, and meet those who sing and sing."

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

Zhu Daoshan, Sun Tianfu, and Chen Baosheng, the three great merchants in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, were all from Zhangzhou. After Fang Guozhen's defeat, they went to the court to pay tribute in order to ask for God's grace.

People from outside the sky can look up at the palace, let everyone see the prosperity of Chinese clothing, rituals and music, and spread the praises.

At that time, the banner played by Zhu Yuanzhang was: to drive out the Tartars and restore the Chinese clothes.

So the flattery of Zhu Daoshan and his group was indeed well captured.

Seeing that His Majesty understood the ocean policy at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Wei said, "In the first year of Wu, there was a method of drawing points. Contacts, today’s method of deducting points.”

"The original method of drawing points was three out of ten. The common people complained, but Emperor Gao loved the people, so he reduced the ten out of three to six."

From a 30% cut-in-kind tax, it was reduced to a 6% tax.

The main reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did this was that the fishing boats at that time were also taxed in the same way, three out of ten, which was too heavy for fishermen, so it was set at six points.

"In the third year of Hongwu, Li Xing and Li Chun, commanders of the Xinghua Guard, sent people out to do business without permission, and Emperor Gao never committed any crime."

"In the first year of Hongwu, the rebels from Lanxiu Mountain in Changguo Prefecture (that is, Zhoushan) got a seal from the Privy Council of the Yuan Dynasty. They used this seal to gather people to revolt and attack the officers and soldiers. They crossed the sea from Changguo Prefecture and invaded Xiangshan County. Ming Tai The ancestors sent officers and soldiers to defeat him."

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

"It was only then that the Ming Dynasty incorporated the maritime ban into the national law, and since then the fake Japanese pirates, maritime merchants and other talents have become abandoned citizens of the Celestial Dynasty."

Hu Yan said with trembling hands, "Hongwu five years."

In the fifth year of Hongwu, the Battle of Daming Lingbei was dismal. After the military adventure failed, it was necessary to pay a very heavy price.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, the rest of Fang Guozhen's tribe migrated, 11 people went to Shaanxi, and the sea ban was implemented.

The shame of Lingbei was not washed away until after the battle of Yuerhai, and after that, there were too many things in the Ming Dynasty, such as the death of the prince Zhu Biao, the Lanyu case and other major cases.

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

"Your Majesty, since Hongwu five years since the emigration, the overseas abandoned citizens are above the national law, and they are no longer Ming people." Hu Wei explained why there were overseas abandoned citizens in the first place.

Classifying all the fake Japanese pirates, pirates, and maritime merchants as overseas abandoned citizens is the bitter fruit brought about by the original military adventure, and it is also a 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, Soviet Russia, which had won a big victory, started a military adventure after winning a huge victory.

The first stage of the Soviet-Polish War was an anti-invasion operation, with high morale, and the second stage changed from anti-invasion to "liberation" of Poland, with low morale.

In the end, outside Warsaw, the Soviet army suffered casualties and captured as many as 15 people. In the Battle of Minsk, the Soviet army captured another 10 people.

In the end, Su Taizu could only change from the wartime economic policy to the new economic policy.

The same is true for Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. After the news of the defeat in Lingbei, people panicked. Emperor Gao, who was active, open and tolerant towards Haiyang, could only turn conservative, closed and strict.

Zhu Qiyu understood what Hu Mu meant. Are the abandoned people overseas the subjects of Ming Dynasty?This is a question left over from history.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the overseas abandoned people were also the servants of the Ming Dynasty. After five years of Hongwu, the overseas abandoned people were no longer.

"Is there any difficulty?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Hu Yan smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it?"

What Zhu Qiyu asked was whether these people had any difficulties in terms of etiquette and law, and if so, how to overcome them if they were brought into the management scope of the Ming Dynasty and the power of enforcing the laws of the Ming Dynasty was extended to the abandoned people overseas.

After all, it violated the ancestral system.

But Hu said, is there any difficulty?

Since the first year of Taizu Gao Emperor Wu, there are so many cases of encouraging maritime trade and making decisions for the people of Ming Dynasty, only a few cases need to be mentioned.

Taizu Gaohuang's sea ban is the law of the ancestors. Encouraging maritime trade in the early stage, and even meeting the sea merchants in person, isn't it the law of the ancestors?

When it is used, Emperor Taizu Gao is the ancestor, but when it is not used, is Emperor Taizu Gao not the ancestor?

Is Emperor Taizu Gao an ancestor?

Of course, Hu Wei is fine. For Hu Wei, as long as His Majesty doesn't kill the Queen Mother in open fire, it's fine.

Hu Wei knew very well that his majesty was on a journey of the great way, that is, to be aboveboard, if he wanted to kill Empress Dowager Sun, it would be a fight with open flames.

It's like His Majesty killing King Jili, telling the world clearly that I did this!

If His Majesty really wanted to kill the Empress Dowager Sun with open fire, it would be difficult for Hu Yi to clear the ground. At most, he would use the excuse of being rebellious, but it is impossible to completely stop the mouth of the world.

But it is obvious that Queen Mother Sun is not stupid. She handed over her power early, ate fast and recited Buddha, prayed for the afterlife of King Jili and Uncle Sunzhong of Huichang, and prayed for the children of her own Jiwangfu.

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

Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time and said: "So the Zhoushan naval battle, in addition to being a turning point for the rejuvenation of the Daming Navy, will also be a turning point for the Ming Dynasty's maritime policy. The overseas abandoned people will be brought under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty."

Yu Qian said with some doubts: "What about those who refuse to accept Wang Hua?"
