There must be no mistakes in Liu Chengfeng's ascension ceremony. There is no need to have any doubts about this, because the ceremony is not only Liu Chengfeng's face, but also the basis for the founding of Chu. If there is a mistake and a chaos occurs, then let alone the world's town of Nanyang, I am afraid that it will be ridiculed by various countries.
Prestige is not a joke. Once a person loses his prestige, it will make people covet it. Chu State holds nearly 10% of the wealth in the world. If it is seen that it is just a strong man on the outside but the middle, it is like a child holding a ingot in his hand. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, he will inevitably encounter unexpected problems.
Not to mention, if there are so many imperial envoys, kings and envoys, Liu Chengfeng cannot afford to take care of them once these people are in trouble.
The ceremony of ascending the throne is not only a celebration of Liu Chengfeng's ascending to the throne, but also a manifestation of Chu's declaration of its strength to the countries in Southeast Asia. Liu Chengfeng has always hoped that his ascendance ceremony will shock all countries and enable the establishment of the Great Chu to intimidate the world. Therefore, there must be no negligence on this point.
Now four ships loaded with firearms have been robbed. According to the description, it is very likely that the Ming Cult is doing. The Ming Cult and Liu Chengfeng are in unison. Liu Chengfeng once repeatedly attacked the Ming Cult. Now the Ming Cult is in full swing in Lianzhou. Liu Chengfeng firmly believes that they will take the opportunity to cause trouble and take revenge. Or they have deeper plans, but no matter what, Liu Chengfeng must pull them out one by one and catch them all in one go.
Li Dongdong has left, and Wen Zheng, Gao Qiang and the local Jinyiwei Qiangu Yang Ting will be invited.
Wen Zheng followed Liu Chengfeng to Lianzhou. Although he had lost his job as the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei, Liu Chengfeng also relied on this father-in-law. He had appointed him as the general of the Five Military Camps. These five military camps seemed to be military positions, but they were not. Under the Five Military Camps, there were five institutions in total, namely the Office of the Stealing Office, the Governance Camp, the Yizhengfu Palace, the Prison Court, and the Imperial Palace.
The thief department will arrest the thief, and will be in charge of all the police officers in the Chu State in the future, which is no different from the Jingjian Bureau in later generations.
The Zhenfu Camp is in charge of a battalion of three thousand soldiers. These people are specifically responsible for suppressing small-scale civil unrest or rebellion, and are internal armed forces.
The Yijin Mansion is responsible for inspecting major cases. Once the problem cannot be solved by the thief department, it will be handed over to the Yijin Mansion for handling. The Yijin Mansion even assumes the responsibilities of some Jinyiwei and rebellion cases. Most of them are handled by the Yijin Mansion. If it is necessary to compare, it is somewhat similar to the National Security Bureau in later generations.
The prison court is in charge of two prisons in the state of Chu. After all, Chu was not the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty mostly exiled prisoners, but Chu was only so big, where can it be exiled? This prison naturally replaced the traditional function of exiling prisoners.
The last government office that caused the accident was used to sort out the main traffic roads in various places and arrest the left-wing bandits.
The five military camps control these five functions, which belong to the Chu State's agency to maintain internal public security. The power is quite large. General Wen Zheng is already roughly equivalent to the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the later generations. Except for the judicial and customized criminal laws, the rights to the military command were all under the control of him.
As for Gao Qiang, now he is the general of the Inner Guard and is the leader of the Inner Guard. There are a total of 3,000 people in the Inner Guard and take turns to guard the royal palace. He has great power and responsibility. All the Inner Guard are selected from the army at all levels. Except for each
In addition to the rotation on time, the rest of the time was training and training. Gao Qiang used to be just a guard in the palace. Since then, he has been following Liu Chengfeng and has never been slackened. He has been devoted to Liu Chengfeng over the years. Now he is a success. Liu Chengfeng specially arranged a mansion for him in Lianzhou and even brought his family together.
To thoroughly investigate the major case of Wynn Commercial Bank, these two people naturally have to come. As for the other Yang Ting, the Jinyiwei Qianhou Qianhou, Yang Ting, had been Liu Chengfeng's confidant before, otherwise he would not have been sent to a place with great importance to Lianzhou. Although Yang Ting no longer belongs to Liu Chengfeng, he is still loyal to Liu Chengfeng. Even if he is not loyal, don't forget that Chen Hongyu, the current commander of the Jinyiwei, is also one of Liu Chengfeng's left and right arms. It is natural that Liu Chengfeng asked him to assist the case.
The three of them actually received news before. At this time, the King of Chu summoned each other and naturally did not dare to neglect it. They rushed over and entered Liu Chengfeng's study room. Just as they were about to salute, Liu Chengfeng looked at the three of them and said seriously: "No need to be too polite. I believe you know the matter too. I suspect that this matter is not unrelated to the Ming Cult."
Yang Ting wanted to comfort Liu Chengfeng and smiled dryly: "Your Highness, maybe this is just a work done by ordinary thieves."
Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly: "Roast the four lucky ships, but don't forget that there are more than 300 people in these four lucky ships. It is impossible to rob these ships without 500 warriors. Can they gather more than 500 warriors? Are they just small thieves? Moreover, the ships transporting firearms are often more strictly prevented than other ships. If these people just want to make money, how could they make the idea of ​​Wynn Trading? As far as the Lone King knows, everything went smoothly this time, which shows that this was the other party's premeditation."
Yang Ting was speechless. In fact, he had already expected that this was probably a big case, and it was not a small matter. His words just now were nothing more than comforting Liu Chengfeng so that he didn't have to worry. Liu Chengfeng was also from the Jinyiwei and was so wise. As a result, Yang Ting became passive all of a sudden. Yang Ting had to smile dryly: "Your Highness is wise, and he can organize so many warriors and make such a deployment, it must be quite a bit."
Wen Zheng was the most steady. At this time, he couldn't help but say: "Yes, these people not only robbed the firearms in the ship, but even took away four big lucky ships. This means that behind these people, there must be people who are planning for them. I have already asked about the port that four such large lucky ships can only be parked in deep water ports, and there are only 17 or 18 ports available for mooring in the South Ocean. If they want to replenish supplies, they must let the ships enter the port. This means that behind them, there are even bigger people who protect them."
Liu Chengfeng nodded. The four stolen ships were so obvious that once they entered the port, people would definitely see the clues. Most of the ports were under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Who had such great ability to protect these four stolen ships from entering the port?
From beginning to end, Gao Qiang didn't say anything. He wanted to say something, but he was a guard and knew nothing about Xingming, so he could only listen blankly.
Liu Chengfeng said: "What deep water ports are there for blessed ships to moor? In addition to ports controlled by the merchants."
"There are two ports controlled by Franji people, one of which is located in Java and the other is in Luzon." Yang Ting replied without hesitation. He had been in Lianzhou for so long and had long been a local snake in the South China Sea. The Jinyiwei had set up Jinyiwei Hundred Houses in various parts of Nanyang, and no news could escape his eyes.
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "So, this case may also be related to Franchise Man?"
Yang Tingzheng said: "Although the Ming Cult is suspicious, the humble ones think that there are many suspicions of Franchise people. In recent years, Franchise people flocked in, especially after the Ming Dynasty started the maritime trade, Franchise people saw that it was profitable, and even migrated to the South Ocean, conquered cities and occupied ports of various countries as territory. Some Franchise people even landed on the excuse that the ships were stranded and wanted to temporarily wait for the rescue of accomplices. However, after they settled, they built forts and ports in large numbers. Among them, Franchise people in Java were the most rampant, with nearly 100,000 people entrenched, including Spanish and Portuguese people, the most said to be the Dutch. In addition, there were also many Franchise people in Aceh, Luzon and other places. These people are not small in strength, and it is easy to rob four blessed ships."
Liu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment. If this was done by Franchise, then things might be much simpler. However, a new question arises. Franchise is not unable to make muskets, and he is already skilled in the process of making gunpowder. If these people are greedy for money and are obsessed with profits, why don’t they rob ships filled with porcelain or silk? Why do they only value the four arms ships of Wynn Trading Company? Taking risks for these four arms ships may even lead to revenge. Are they so eager for quick success?
But if it were the Ming Cult, in theory, the Ming Cult is just an underground organization and does not completely control a certain port, why did they not only hijack the cargo on the four ships, but also hijack the ships together? What do they want these four blessed ships to do? What are the uses of these four blessed ships to them? Even if they are useful, where will these four ships hide?
The matter seemed to be increasingly unexplained. Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment and said, "This case is too big. I plan to investigate it myself, from now on
i, Gao Qiang..." Liu Chengfeng's eyes fell on Gao Qiang and said, "The Imperial Guard Camp must step up the garrison in the palace, as well as the envoys and vassal kings who arrived in Lianzhou, must be properly handled, and there must be no mistakes. Do you understand?"
It’s okay to find Gao Qiang about garrison protection. Gao Qiang knew nothing about things like Xingming just now and couldn’t speak up. Now it involves something that he has a place to use his skills. Naturally, he was excited and said, “I’m humble and take the order!”

I recommend a book with a good friend of Tiger - "The Hypocrite of the Ming Dynasty". Well, the title of the book is similar to that of Tiger's book. You can already guess the content of this book. This book is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei, and the story of the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods. The writing style of the mouse is very humorous and the plot of the story is also very compact. If you are interested, you can go and take a look.
