Chapter 699 Overseas enclaves, each with a debate

After reading the introduction of the customs and customs of Malacca in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Datao couldn't help but feel the urge to go and visit immediately.

Unfortunately, he can't.

Because next year is the year when the imperial court holds the autumn examination, he is now just a scholar. If he wants to become a juren, he must pass the autumn examination.

As for the Spring Examination, it was postponed by the court for one year and was reopened in the sixth year of Zhaowu.

Therefore, if he can pass next year's autumn examination and become a juren, he will be able to participate in the spring examination the next year and have the opportunity to pass the Jinshi.

Malacca is in Nanyang, and it takes more than two months to take a sea boat from Nanjing. Including the time of travel, even if he set out to Malacca at this time, he could only travel in Malacca for two or three months.

But in fact, the Ming Dynasty officially won Malacca in February next year. Including that he still has to review the books when he comes back, it is absolutely not enough time.

"Brother Zhuwan!"

A surprise shout made Tang Datao raise his head, but when he saw that it was Xia Wanchun.

Tang Datao nodded after hearing this and said, "It's good that you're free, just in time for Wenshu to deal with next year's autumn examination. I'm going to take advantage of my previous shame with you."

In this case, why do you need to appoint a vassal king in an important place like Malacca and make him a hidden worry for the court?

You know, there were precedents in rebellion by the Ming vassal kings.

Seeing that the two of them were becoming more and more fierce, Tang Datao was afraid of getting angry, so he quickly interrupted and said, "Two, how to manage Malacca is the affairs of the ministers in the court, so let's not argue.

Yuan Jixian believed that the proposal to set up a Protectorate in Malacca was already radical enough, but he did not expect that there were more radical than him.

Xia Wanchun answered Tang Datao's previous question, "The iron factory has been completely on the right track, and the daily affairs are handled by the people below. I am not actually busy.

Zhu Ma was also discussing with the military ministers about governing Malacca.

"So what about overseas enclaves?" Xia Wanchun disagreed, "Brother Jiugao, don't forget that the court now has radio stations, which can be transmitted to thousands of miles.

"Reading the newspaper introduction, Malacca is indeed a major maritime transportation route between the East and the West. No wonder the court forced the Du Yi to cede." Du Denggao said with the newspaper, "I just don't know how the court is preparing to govern it - this is an overseas enclave.

”

Second, the current Johor Kingdom was built by the former Prince of Malacca.

Xia Wanchun approached and first introduced the people around him, "This is my fellow villager, Du Dengchun, whose courtesy name is Jiugao. This is the Tang Datao I mentioned, whose courtesy name is Zhuwan."

As for the use of Malacca as the fief of the vassal kings and to guard the vassal kings, some people have suggested that.

"I don't know whether the cost of ruling will be high, but the benefits of my Ming Dynasty controlling this place are obvious..."

Du Dengchun shook his head, "Cungu thought it simple. The court must control a place. It is important to be able to command and understand the orders, but more importantly, it is able to send troops to suppress the rebellion in time.

"I misunderstood the ancients. I don't mean that, I just say that it is difficult to rule here. Or in the popular words, the cost of ruling the court will be very high."

Forbidden City, Wuying Hall.

After chatting for a few gossips, the three of them quickly talked about the headline news reports of the Ming Dynasty.

Considering that Malacca is just the beginning of my Ming Dynasty's entry into overseas places, and its geographical location is extremely important, it is better to set up a prefecture and county directly and put it under the jurisdiction of the Nanhai Province."

Seeing him leading a young man to come here, Tang Datao immediately stood up and bowed, and asked with a smile: "Cungu, aren't you running an iron factory in Taiping Prefecture? Why do you have the time to come to Moxianglou in this capital?"

Chief Minister Yuan Jixian said: "Since Malacca is an important sea transportation route between the east and west, it cannot be used as a fief of the vassal kings. We should follow the story of the Han and Tang dynasties, set up a protective palace, send an important official to take charge, and manage military and political affairs, so that we can be stable."

In one case, the Malacca has been destroyed for more than a hundred years.

Du Dengchun said: "I think Zhuwan's pair of autumn exams seems to be in their hearts, and they must be able to go to high school."

Du Dengchun didn't take the argument just now and said modestly: "I'm just lucky, but now I'm worried about the spring exam in the next year."

Unlike the folk gentry, the scholars thought differently, because the military ministers knew better the importance of Malacca. Even conservatives like Yuan Jixian believed that Malacca must be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Malacca is thousands of miles away from Nanjing, you can get military and political orders from the court in time and act according to the orders.

Tang Datao also smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the ranking falls behind you, as long as you can win the imperial examination."

Xia Wanchun retorted: "Did you give up Malacca because it takes a long time to send troops?"

"Brother Chengjiugao's good words."

But now the military ministers are familiar with the global situation and know that there are many borderless places overseas.

The arch-protector and the military and political affairs will easily become a local emperor over time. However, if it changes every two or three years, it will be detrimental to our Ming Dynasty's pioneering and enterprising efforts in Southeast Asia.

Fran Function has ruled Malacca for more than a hundred years, and I can rule Malacca for at least hundreds of years!"

Now the railway runs through Taiping Prefecture and is built to Tongling, Chizhou Prefecture. It is convenient for me to take the train to Nanjing. From Dangtu to Nanjing, it will take more than an hour to arrive."

Xia Wanchun laughed and said, "Haha, that's what I plan. Then the ranking is behind me, Brother Zhuwan, don't cry."

Now that the vassal kings are enfeoffed overseas and re-grant their military power, it would be fine if they rebel in irrelevant places, but if there is a disturbance in an important place like Malacca, the Ming Dynasty would be uncomfortable.

Now, if you have time, come to Nanjing to see my father and buy some books and newspapers.

If you have time, it’s better to discuss whether there will be changes in the autumn examination next year – that’s something that is closely related to us.”

Xia Wanchun, who is only eighteen years old, has a mustache on her lips, and she looks much more mature than before.

In Huangdaozhou, Zhu Dadian and others nodded slightly and agreed to Yuan Jixian's proposal, Li Yan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's not appropriate to set up a Protectorate Palace.

As for the restoration of the country for the Malaga, Zhu Ma and his ministers had never thought about it.

According to the news that the Jinyiwei Beizhenfushi returned to China, after joining forces with the Netherlands to defeat the Portuguese colonial government in Malacca, the country's national strength has increased day by day in recent years and has become a small bully in the Southeast Asian country.

If there will be military chaos in Malacca in the future or besieged by the army of other countries, it will be in danger. My Ming Dynasty wants to cross the sea to support it. Even if we send troops from Guangzhou, it will probably take more than half a month?"

The three of them were all young people, deeply influenced by new ideas and new trends, introduced each other, and after practicing basic etiquette, they did not bother to sit down and chat.

If the Ming Dynasty restored the country for the Malacca, wouldn’t it have sent fresh meat to the mouth of the Johor Kingdom?

Xia Wanchun suddenly smiled and said, "It's just a matter between Brother Zhuwan and me. Brother Jiugao was awarded the imperial examination in the second year of Zhaowu."

Li Yan's words caused the rest of the people to think for a while, and there were nods in agreement, and there were also those who shook their heads and disagreed.

Afterwards, the rest of the people also spoke, clearly forming two factions that supported Yuan Jixian or Li Yan.

Seeing this, Zhu Ma knew that it was up to her to make the decision.

Second update.

Good night ~
