After receiving the direct memorial from Li Yan, the canal was completely unblocked, and the fleet carrying maritime trade silver finally arrived in Tongzhou.

Two million taels of silver are the income from this maritime trade, which is equivalent to the income of the national treasury for half a year.

However, Zhu Youjian was a little bored because what Zheng Zhilong and Mao Liangzhe did in Japan made him a little worried about the Japanese trade next year.

"I sent Mao Liangzhe to Fujian for sea trade, but he was unauthorized to interfere in the affairs of Japan, causing chaos in Japan. The trade will be affected next year!" Zhu Youjian said to Hong Chengchou. Zhu Youjian naturally had no good feelings for Japan, so he did not have any good feelings for Japan.

He wished that the island of Japan would sink to destroy the clan, but now Japan is related to the income from the treasury, so he really doesn't want an accident in Japan.

Hong Chengchou was already aware of what happened. He also sighed. The Japanese pirate country that had ravaged the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and Japan, which had captured the entire North Korea and forced the court to send troops to aid Korea, was actually turned upside down by a mere maritime trade fleet.

Who can believe it if you say it?

"Maybe not necessarily," Hong Chengchou pondered, "If Cao Feng could persist under the attack of the Japanese shogunate army that day, it occupied two islands of Japan and had several silver mines under its jurisdiction, and its profits next year might not decrease but increase.

If Amakoto could not persist and was quickly wiped out by the shogunate army. If the matter of our fleet helping Amakoto was leaked, the Japanese shogunate would vent its anger and trade would definitely be damaged next year."

"I really shouldn't have sent Mao Liangzhe to preside over the maritime trade business!" Zhu Youjian said regretfully, but he did not mean to replace Mao Liangzhe. If it were the case before, Mao Liangzhe had such a flaw, Zhu Youjian would definitely issue an order to dismiss the official position.

Replace. Now, his patience has improved a lot.

"It is a blessing to lose his horse," Hong Chengchou comforted the emperor softly, "but through this matter, Mao Liangzhe's talent was demonstrated. His ability to seize the opportunity to cause chaos in Japan is indeed a rare talent, and he will definitely be able to stand alone in time.

”

Zhu Youjian shook his head and no longer worried about this matter.

"Next year, Japan's trade may be affected, but my wealth cannot be cut off just like this. We can try to develop trade in the South and Western countries to make up for the trade losses of Japan." Zhu Youjian pondered.

The South-Sea trade refers to Luzon, Brunei, Siam, Java and other places. However, Western trade reached India and Arabia, but with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it reached the South-Sea at most.

"I heard that the Florians occupied Luzon and the red-haired ghost occupied Malacca, Java. Li Yanzhi had just fought with the red-haired ghost. Will the trade in Southeast Asia be affected?" Hong Chengchou said.

"I am worried about these things." Zhu Youjian said, "But control the coast of Ming Dynasty first. Zhejiang, Fujian and even Guangdong, any sea boats must be approved by our Imperial Guard Navy. If you can do these things, just Western Yi will do it.

If I need my Ming Dynasty goods, I have to do business with my Royal Maritime Trade Company, and I will naturally be able to make money by then."

In terms of understanding sea trade, Zhu Youjian, who had experience in traveling souls, knew much more than Hong Chengchou. In his previous life, Zheng Zhilong controlled the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and earned millions of dollars every year by selling ships every year. As long as he could fully control the coast of the Ming Dynasty,

Of course you can make a lot of money!

Therefore, the power of the Fujian Imperial Guard must continue to be strengthened, and the sea surfaces in Zhejiang and Guangdong must be controlled as soon as possible, so that they can fully control the maritime trade!

However, such a powerful force cannot be completely controlled by Li Yanzhi alone. It is not that he is worried about Li Yanzhi. After all, with the imperial guard system, Li Yanzhi cannot do anything too outrageous. Instead, he must check and balance as much as possible, which is also a matter of time.

A kind of protection for Li Yanzhi himself.

Zhu Youjian thought about it and ordered people to send Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan.

"Meet Your Majesty."

"You two should be fifteen years old this year, right?" Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

Li Dingguo nodded: "The boy camp, who was joined by Weichen at the age of 12, just celebrated his fifteenth birthday last month."

Zhang Huangyan said: "I am half a year older than Dingguo, and I am already sixteen years old."

"Fifteen or sixteen years old is the best youth time in life." Zhu Youjian sighed. But he forgot that his body was only twenty years old.

"You two have made contributions to protecting the emperor and have made contributions to the arrest of the nobles of the assassination. I originally promised that after the Beijing camp was reorganized into a new army of imperial guards, you will each bring a battalion of imperial guards. But now, I have to make other arrangements for you.

.” Zhu Youjian said.

Zhang Huangyan and Li Dingguo looked at each other and said at the same time: "Everyone follows His Majesty's orders."

Zhu Youjian nodded with satisfaction: "Fujian General Li Yanzhi is in the southeast and is about to expand the Fujian Imperial Guards on a large scale to eliminate the straitors. I just dispatched 3,000 Liaodong Imperial Guards to Fujian a few days ago, but Li Yanzhi is now there

There is still a shortage of generals to lead troops.

You two have been in Tongzi Camp for three years, and you have learned the skills you should learn. Just when you need to experience it, go to Li Yanzhi to be a genius general. After working for a while, I will transfer you to Zhejiang and Guangdong.

Be the deputy general to manage the navy.”

"Ah!" Li Dingguo exclaimed. He thought Zhu Youjian would send him to the border army, but he was full of longing, but he was sent to Fujian.

"What, aren't you happy?" Zhu Youjian glanced at Li Dingguo and said lightly.

"Ah, no, I'm not unhappy." Li Dingguo said quickly and was stunned: "Wei Chen just thinks that Wei Chen was born in Shaanxi and has never seen anything in the sea before. He doesn't know how to fight water, and can't even swim.

, I'm afraid it won't be useful to go to Fujian?"

Zhang Huangyan opened his mouth and closed it again. He is from Ningbo, Zhejiang and grew up by the sea since he was a child, but he can't say that he doesn't understand the sea.

"Don't you know how to learn? Who is born to know everything?" Zhu Youjian said lightly, "As for not knowing how to swim, why did I hear that last summer, someone was swimming and playing in the China Sea and was sued by the military inspector.

In front of me.”

Li Dingguo said embarrassedly: "Swimming in the sea is different from that in the lake."

"If you love, don't go, just go to the Beijing camp to lead the troops!" Zhu Youjian said angrily.

"Go, I'll go!" Li Dingguo said hurriedly.

"Jiannu is no longer a problem with my Ming Dynasty. Recovering Liaodong is just around the corner. There are not many opportunities to make contributions in the border."

Zhu Youjian naturally understood what Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan thought, and explained: "In the future, the troops of my Imperial Guard will definitely move from the north to the sea, conquering the sea is what men should do.

You all know about Li Yanzhi and the Red-haired Ghost in Taiwan. The Red-haired Ghost, the Flangji, and what other English. These Westerners traveled thousands of miles to the Ming Dynasty and were domineering at the door of my Ming Dynasty. Luzon Java Zhenla

All the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty were captured by them. How could the glorious Ming Dynasty allow the Western Yi to bully the small countries? One day, I will definitely send a large army to conquer the four seas and drive away the red-haired ghost Buddha Langji, which is to attack the Western Yi Kingdom.

!You and the other two are willing to fulfill their ambitions for me?”

"I am willing!" Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan were so excited that Zhu Youjian said that he agreed in unison.
