"You, the commander of the Royal Guards, stop doing this!"
Zhu Houzhao's expressionless words made Qian Wuyou's body, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly stiffen. Wang Yue, who had just stood up beside him, also turned pale.
"Be your consolation envoy and run the four-sea fleet for my Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Houzhao said the next sentence, but a narrow smile appeared on his face: "My vision is much bigger than yours. It's just a fresh water projectile."
How can I let my subordinates be restrained here!"
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Zhu Houzhao did not want to raise an army to hold him accountable, but had another important purpose. Wang Yue glanced at Qian Wubing, and the color on his face slowly returned.
"But, Your Majesty, I have been working as a guard since I was young. I have been working for so many years, and I plan to keep doing this to protect Your Majesty and the country of Ming Dynasty..." Qian Wubing's face is unswerving, the emperor is
Don't you trust yourself? Without Jin Yiwei's errand, you are just a tiger without claws, just showing off.
"Stupid!" Zhu Houzhao glared at him angrily: "I didn't realize that you are still a fan of officials. You said you wouldn't do it as the commander of the Jinyiwei in Beijing, but you actually still did it as the overseas commander of the Jinyiwei.
When discussing the price with me, you can recommend Mu Tianqiu to me, but you cannot recommend Wang Tianqiu or Ma Tianqiu to me!"
"Wuyi, Your Majesty asked you to take off this job. Of course, His Majesty has his plans. Why don't you kneel down to thank me?" Wang Yue said softly from the side: "Your Majesty is a talented person with a lot of troubles in his heart. He must have other plans for you.
, do you still want to resist the decree?"
"Wang Banban still understands what I am thinking!" Zhu Houzhao glanced at Wang Yue: "Wang Banban knows what I am thinking, why are you so ignorant?"
"I suddenly saw Your Majesty, and I was so happy that I panicked. Your Majesty is my heaven, so naturally I will do whatever Your Majesty says!" Qian Wubing said.
"That's incredible!" Zhu Houzhao sat down carelessly, "When I asked you to move and write about the coming of the Li people, the cabinet agreed, and I knew about it, but I didn't take it seriously at that time. When I came to Dongfan today, I saw that you could
I am very pleased that this situation has been brought about, Ah Li. I have never misjudged you, you are a capable person!"
"Your Majesty, thank you!"
"No prize!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "Mu Siniang has said a lot along the way. All in all, I am still satisfied, especially since you competed with Westerners and did not give in a single cent. You have greatly improved my Ming Dynasty.
His majesty is exactly what I want!"
Qian Wubing and Wang Yue had a hint of joy on their faces.
But..." Zhu Houzhao changed his tone: "I allow you to overseas Jinyi Guard Qianhu Station to recruit volunteers to protect our Ming Dynasty fleet. Do you know what a great grace this is? Looking at the Ming Dynasty, who is this minister?
, with such an honor, you are too conservative!"
"keep?"
Qian Wubing and Wang Yue were both shocked. They thought that the emperor was dissatisfied when his power expanded like this, so he was on guard against himself. Who knew that the reason why the emperor was dissatisfied was because he was too conservative. If we say, his
If such an action is considered conservative, then what does it mean to let it go? You, Zhu Houzhao, are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Are you planning to personally support the creation of a vassal town that the Ming Dynasty cannot control?
Even if you dare, these ministers wouldn’t dare!
"For more than a year, you have only more than 5,000 soldiers in your overseas base. Don't tell me that you don't have money to support your troops. The money in the Quanzhou and Nanjing shipyards is all money sent from all over the world. These accounts, Feng
It’s just a passing purpose, you can’t hide it from me!”
"but……"
"Don't make any buts. I know that this is a taboo matter. However, Qian Qing, you are my emperor's personal soldier and my close minister, and you have my promise, but you are still so timid when you do something.
Do you know that you are so embarrassed? You are not only embarrassing your own people, you are also embarrassing my people. I have taken away your post as an overseas commander. In addition to my other plans, I also have some tricks.
It means punishment!”
"I understand! Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
"The envoy to appease the city and report to the cabinet, I immediately agreed. Those scholars looked after the country and the country for me. It is good to maintain the status quo, but when it comes to this enterprising and pioneering, how can they have such ambitions? You
Overseas Thousand Households has its own style, and now it has been promoted to the town and Fusi. Many of the ideas I had wanted to have in the past, Yang Ting and that group of people definitely did not like to see them. They were afraid that my enthusiasm would destroy the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
However, if I were to sharpen your Zhenfu Si into a sharp sword that I can use very easily, they would probably not be able to say anything about how to practice it in this overseas place. Money, food, soldiers and horses would not be touched by the imperial court.
, but it brings income, territory, population, and taxes to the imperial court time after time. Once they taste the sweetness, as long as they are truly loyal to the country, I am afraid they will not support me!"
"A mere propaganda envoy to occupy the city, this is just a springboard. By the way, I heard that you have also put a lot of thought into Siam. The prince who is expected to inherit the throne is also supported by you, right? I like him very much and am close to him.
I like all the countries of the Ming Dynasty, especially because they can do this without using weapons. However, this is just Siam. The country of Vietnam has always had little friction with me, the Ming Dynasty. You can also use it in this regard.
Let's put some thought into driving the Westerners out. Next, we have to take care of things in our own back garden. Qian Qing, are you willing to help me!"
"Your Majesty is willing!" Qian Wubing bent down. He finally understood what Zhu Houzhao meant. Moreover, the accusation of "supporting soldiers and self-respect" that he had been vaguely worried about finally disappeared after Zhu Houzhao's words.
"Build me a palace in Danshui!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded: "My body has been injured a bit. Every year, I always take some time to come to your Danshui for a visit! One is self-cultivation.
The other thing is to urge you, we monarchs and ministers, to do a good job here!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Get up, Wang Banban, get up too. Your Nanjing garrison eunuch has been working for several years and has done a good job. However, don't think about just being lazy and quitting. There is also a shortage of garrison eunuchs here in Tamsui. You can continue.
Do it for me!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Do it until you die, are you willing?"
"I am willing...I am willing!"
Wang Yue cried with joy. With Zhu Houzhao's words, he no longer had to worry before his death.
"Your Majesty!" Qian Wubing stood up.
Zhu Houzhao looked at him, took his hand and stood up, pointing out the window: "Qian Qing, this is not an easy task, but I am still young and you are still young. We still have a lot of time in this life.
For a long time, in the northern Xinjiang, the South China Sea, and in my lifetime, I want to see the dragon flag of our Ming Dynasty flying high in these places. In my lifetime, I want to see our Ming Dynasty have a strong military and strong country, surrender from all over the world, and be mighty in the world!
Qian Wubing looked at the direction that Zhu Houzhao pointed. It was a vast river and mountains. He suppressed the excitement in his heart: "This is also my wish!"
Zhu Houzhao turned his head and looked at him, smiling at him. The sunlight outside shone on him, as if he were a god.
The first part of "The Wings of Ming Dynasty" is completed.
