Chapter 366: Kaihai hot discussion, Yangming submitted a memorial

"Okay! Good fight!"

Xie Hong's comments follow the routine of combining the current novels of Romance and comics from later generations. He knows the composition of entertainment very well. It is not enough to just amazing those precious beasts. It also requires ups and downs, so that people can't stop.

What's more, Zheng He's voyage to the West was originally a military operation, and naval warfare was of course the most important part of it.

Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the offensive and defensive momentum of the Ming Dynasty and the *** has reversed. Not to mention chasing the north like Taizu and Chengzu, even passive defense has been exhausted. Especially in the past two months, the border has been in a hurry, which has made the people in the capital worry and even feel even more depressed.

So, after listening to the adventure and the naval battle scenes, most of the listeners became excited, especially the soldiers on the second floor, who promoted the prestige of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away, and could be compared with Huo Piqi's Fenglangjuxu. How could it not make people fascinated?

Wu Yongjian was the most excited one among them. Xie Hong didn't know what the naval battle in this era was like. He was more familiar with the naval battle in the era of navigation. He also knew that Zheng He's fleet was also equipped with firearms, so the naval battle in Pinghua became a battle mode mainly based on artillery battles and platoon battles.

This combat mode is easy to tell and very vivid, especially for artillery soldiers like Wu Yongjian, which has strong infectious power.

The generals of Shenji Camp used very little artillery in field battles, only more when siegeing cities. However, the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty was the Tartars, and the Tartars had no castles at all. Therefore, artillery soldiers with more consumption and less effective were purely decorations.

After the offensive and defensive battle of the Military Arts Department, most of the artillery soldiers in the Shenji Battalion were discouraged, unable to hit people, and unable to break the wall. What's the use of such artillery? Even Jiang Bin, who recognized the power of the musket, was also disdainful of the artillery.

Although Wu Yongjian was not discouraged and Xie Hong had always maintained his investment in the artillery troops, Wu Xiaoqi was still confused. Unless the power of the general's artillery was improved, he could not see the way out for the artillery.

After listening to the comments about Naval Battle, his eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, the artillery has another battlefield where it can be played, which is on the sea!

Although the Ming Dynasty is in the forbidden sea now, since Lord Xie has asked someone to say such comments here, he will always have a way. You must know that Lord is omnipotent when he descends to earth from heaven and is omnipotent. How can any of the things in the world be rare to defeat him? Wu Yongjian was full of confidence.

...

West Garden, Leopard House.

"Brother, are all the comments true?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes were shining with light, full of expectation and yearning.

"It's almost the same." Xie Hong felt a little guilty. He didn't remember whether the giraffe was from Australia or Africa. Anyway, there were these things in his memory, so he just compiled them together. These were quite reliable because he heard that Zheng He's squadron had been to America, and Xie Hong added a lot of American specialties.

Anyway, the scholars and officials have almost destroyed all the relevant information about Zheng He. Unless they go and see it with their own eyes, no one can prove Xie Hong. Even if someone has read it, at worst they can say that they have remembered it wrong. So it may be so reliable to remember it?

"That's great!" Zhengde's eyes were also red. The storytellers recited all night, but he read all night, and then he was excited from morning to night, and he didn't even bother to play baseball.

"Brother, hurry up and prepare. When the fleet is built, let's go out to sea together! I will catch a few elephants, giraffes, and kangaroos, yes, catch them all!" Zhengde counted them one by one with his fingers, and finally waved his hand, saying that he wanted to bring back all these strange beasts he had never seen before.

"Why are you catching these? You can't eat them..." Xie Hong curled his lips, very disdainful of Zhengde's ideal. No wonder he named his residence Leopard Room. Second brother, have you expected to open a zoo? If it comes to future generations, be careful of the Animal Protection Association sue you.

"Why do you want to eat? I want to raise those as mounts and change them every day!" Zhengde announced loudly.

"..." Xie Hong was speechless. Obviously, his second brother was naughty again. Brother another day made a bicycle for you, so that you could save you from riding a kangaroo... It's not that my brother said, riding a giraffe or an elephant would be fine, but riding a kangaroo is too cruel.

"Anyway, second brother, don't worry. After our fleet is built, there will always be a day when you will be asked to catch kangaroos. But it's not enough now. Let alone going to the kangaroos' hometown, we don't even have a deck now. Those things are too far away."

"That's it..." Zhengde was very disappointed. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Brother, didn't you say that the big merchants in the south have ships? Why don't I order them to hand over the ships? Well, I don't want them all. As long as each family hand over one, isn't that enough?"

"It would be strange if they could hand over it." Xie Hong shook his head, and the smile on his face became cold. "And even if they were obedient, their ship could not go so far. After all, their destination was just Nanyang or Japan. The money here was endless. How could they think of further? How could they explore those places?"

"Oh, then I have to wait for you to build a ship and a fleet, brother, you must work hard!" Zhengde sighed and once again placed his hope on Xie Hong.

"Well, don't worry, if it goes well, we can quickly open a port to build a ship in Tianjin Wei..." Xie Hong nodded, but his tone was not very certain.

"What if it doesn't go well?" Zhengde keenly discovered the unfinished meaning in Xie Hong's words.

"If it doesn't go well..." Xie Hong pondered, the wind had already been released. How big the Jiangnan people would rebound will be revealed soon. Although they are Jiangnan scholars, they actually have something to do in the capital and have a suspicion. They will not be unaware of the movements here.

"That's okay. I have other means. I may be a little troublesome and slower. However, if they really bully people too much, they can't say it. Humph, we will definitely not regret it when the time comes!" Xie Hong looked at the south and said coldly, with endless murderous aura in his tone.

...

Xie Hong's move to let go was very successful. In just a few days, overseas scenery and the eunuchs who went to the West had become hot topics in the capital. Countless people were talking about it in the streets and alleys, and people's concerns were different, but they quickly unified their opinions: there are rare treasures overseas and wealth overseas, so Grandpa Chengzu sent people to sea.

Compared to the so-called "Zhu Di sent people to the West to show off his national prestige, reward everywhere, or hunt down Emperor Jianwen, who was unknown whereabouts, although Hou Defang's comments did not clearly state, he clearly put the answer in front of all the people of the world.

This answer is more direct, more reasonable, and therefore more convincing than the original ones. Although the saints taught their disciples not to speak of profit, they never saw any great scholar really treating gold and silver as dirt and throwing the silver from his family onto the street every day.

The reason why Grandpa Chengzu formed a fleet and sent the Sanbao eunuch to sea seven times was obviously exploring overseas wealth and bringing the wealth back to the Ming Dynasty. I don’t know anything else, whether it is a long-nosed elephant or a long-necked kirin, or a strange beast, is very consistent with the anecdotes that many old people say.

As the heated discussion rose, someone soon raised a question, that is, the court has banned the sea now, but the Ming Dynasty is so big, is there anyone going to sea? Who is seizing those wealth? Has the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban strategy been implemented to the end? If not, who will get the advantage in the end?

People couldn't find the answer for a while. Even if a few discerning people thought about it, they didn't dare to say it casually, but their doubtful eyes looked to the south.

Although Jiangnan has the benefits of water towns, the true wealth of Jiangnan people began in the former Song Dynasty, and the former Song Dynasty was clearly the era when China's navigation industry was the most developed! Ordinary people do not know this information, but the newspapers from the roadside club quickly gave them the answer.

The first issue of the Royal Daily in the Roadside Society was a column of the previous dynasty. Of course, the Mongolian Yuan was not regarded as the previous dynasty by Xie Hong. Therefore, the main content of this column was about the Song Dynasty. The detailed information included technology and humanities, especially according to the needs of readers, detailed the history of navigation of the Song Dynasty, which greatly broadened people's horizons.

Open the sea! Go explore and seize overseas wealth! Although there is no shouting, this idea is thrilling in many people's hearts. It is not that the people of the Ming Dynasty are easy to deceive, but that there are allusions of the Three Treasures eunuchs and Xie Hong's comments as footnotes. You must know that Hou Defang is named the royal family, and the emperor's golden words, how can he deceive people?

Everyone has a yearning for wealth. It is indeed more exciting to explore overseas than to farm for wealthy families as a tenant or to be exploited and done small business.

Of course, being moved does not mean action. The people in the Ming Dynasty had a strong rural concept. It was okay for young people. Some people who were older just used these as topics of conversation, or just thought about it in their minds. Just be happy and happy. If they really wanted them to go out to sea, they would definitely respect Xie Bumin. Although they had a lot of wealth, who knows if they could bring them back alive?

What's more, the sea ban is the Ming Dynasty's ancestor system. Now there are some chaos in the court. How could the emperor make such a mysterious thing at this time? He violates the ancestor system? Are you not afraid of chaos in the world?

Whether they really want to go out to sea to fight for wealth or join in the fun, no one dares to say the word "opening the sea". The sky and earth are great, but who can be more powerful than the ancestral system?

However, everyone also had a question in their hearts that since the sea ban was a ancestral system, how should Grandpa Chengzu calculate the behavior of that year? Is Yonglenian's system even bigger than Hong Xinian's? This is indeed a bit strange.

However, if we included the ban on seas in Hongwu year, it would be barely reasonable. The two emperors were always bigger than one. What's more, the Ming Dynasty was the country captured by Grandpa Hongwu, which was one level older than Emperor Chengzu.

However, no one can tell the reason about the algorithm of this ancestral system. The so-called distant and unfamiliar relationship, how to resolve conflicts between ancestors, others really can't interrupt. This is a topic that saints avoid.

Xie Hongben did not intend to rely on public opinion. At most, the public opinion is a thing that can create momentum. It is impossible to solve political problems by relying on this. Even in later China, this thing is useless, let alone in the Ming Dynasty. He just wanted to let go of the news first, see the enemy's reaction, and then decide what strategy to use in the end.

However, Xie Hong was not a god after all. Soon, something he had not calculated in advance happened.

The accident came from the Ministry of War. Amid the hustle and bustle of border urgency, a memorial of nearly 10,000 words was handed over to the palace, passed through Wenyuan Pavilion, and sent to the Sili Supervisory Office. Gu Dayong finally informed Zhengde and Xie Hong. There was only one theme of the memorial, that is:

Please lift the maritime ban!

When Xie Hong was anxious to see the signature of the memorialist, he was shocked to find that the man was just the head of the Ministry of War, but his name made him very familiar.

Wang Shouren!?

Damn, isn’t this the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming, besides Zhengde? How could this great person submit such a memorial? Is there such a thing in history? Or is it that my brother’s domineering aura is leaked again?

Xie Hongru fell into a dream and felt for the first time that things might be out of his control and develop in an unpredictable direction.
Chapter completed!
