connection: close
Paving the land is a basic responsibility of the emperor. Most of the emperors in China will be inspected on their own land. On the one hand, it will show off the authority of the emperor and solve major local events.
The local forces, the public opinion of the local people, and the embodiment of the emperor's love of the people. Of course, there are also a lot of emperor who have inspected inspections.
Qianlong seven under Jiangnan.
Although the Chinese Empire did not take the heirs of the Ming Dynasty, after all, they were all countries established by the Han nationality. Therefore, the empire still had the right and obligations of the Empires that left left by the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, of course, at this time, Shang Yi decided to inspect Beijing, which is also necessary, because Beijing is the capital of the Ting Ting's entrance, and the original capital of the dynasty is a place with great political influence.
After Beijing, Shang Yi also visited the Beijing area as the emperor of the Chinese Empire. It also had the greatest political significance. Not only can it soothe the people in Beijing, but also this northern tour to declare the rule of the empire in the north. The emperor
The authority, strengthening the dominance of the empire in these regions, and deterring a small number of unstable people. In addition, in response to the situation where Méng is fighting against China, it can also be arranged nearby, and it can also encourage the morale of the soldiers in front.
Regardless of the Empire's ultimately denied capital, when the capital moved to Beijing, this time the trip to Beijing was also very necessary. The members of the cabinet did not oppose it. They agreed with Shang Yi's trip to Beijing.
However, the emperor's travel is not a simple thing. You need to do a lot of preparations, schedule, and how to determine the accompanying personnel. Not only are you preparing in Nanjing, you also have to do a lot of preparations in Beijing.
Sending people in advance can not be completed in a short period of time. In addition, the envoys of various countries are also conducting various visits and exchanges in Nanjing. There are many occasions that need to attend.
Only the month of the north tour can only be achieved.
But anyway, the schedule of the North Tour this time is determined, and all tasks have begun.
At this moment, someone came to inform, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong's father and son entered Beijing Qin, and now Zheng Chenggong is waiting outside the temple. Shang Yi listened and nodded, and said, "Prove him to come in." Seeing several cabinet ministers saw himself.
It's okay, and they all resigned and left.
Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong's father and son also made a special trip to visit the exhibition of this European country. After the surrender of the Nanming Shaowu court in Fujian, Shang Yi temporarily handed Fujian to Zheng Chenggong to take charge. On October 18 last year, Shang Yi officially called it.
Emperor Jiangsu, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong's father and son also came to Nanjing Chaogong. Zheng Chenggong asked Shang Yi to transfer Fujian to the empire management, and sent local officials to pay the administrative work of Fujian Province. Shang Yi also agreed to Zheng Chenggong's request, and at the same time wanted
He compiled Zheng Chenggong into the Nanyang Fleet as commander of a branch fleet, but was declined by Zheng Chenggong. At that time, Shang Yi did not want to set up Zheng Chenggong, so he had to leave Quanzhou to Zheng Chenggong to let him settle the old ministry.
After I heard that after visiting the European envoy returned, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong's father and son were also quite interested, because in this era, Zheng's father and son were relatively few people with marine consciousness and overseas strategic attention. At the time, for a considerable period of time, they traveled through the Nanyang countries, and the people such as the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and other peoples were dealt with, and they also had a considerable understanding of the overseas world.
In addition, the father and son also discussed both. They did not plan to be an official in the empire government. Instead, they re -fired Zheng Zhilong’s old business and became a maritime merchant. People, and people who have a long time with their father and son. Father and son also intend to find the opportunity to mention Shang Yi in the near future, but after the New Year, the Chinese army began to launch the final attack on the Qing court. When she disturbed Shang Yi, I dragged it down.
Now that the Qing court has perished, the Chinese Army has also unified the country. Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong's father and son also wanted to see Shang Yi in Beijing in the near future. Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong's father and son also thought that he would resign from Shang Yi in Nanjing. On the one hand, you can also learn about the situation of European countries and see what business opportunities. So Zheng Chenggong also immediately went to Nanjing to explain his intention.
After receiving Zheng Chenggong's Shang Shu, Shang Yi also immediately ordered, and his father entered Beijing.
Because Zheng Zhilong had no actual official position, after the father and son arrived in Nanjing, Zheng Chenggong entered the palace and saw Shang Yi. After Zheng Chenggong entered the palace, Shang Yi also gave him a seat, and then said: "Mingzheng, European countries, in Europe, Exhibition, have you ever seen it? "
Zheng Chenggong said: "When he returned to the emperor, when he was leaning, the minister looked at it with two eyes, and saw that the figure was very lively. It was not because he had to see the emperor first, so he did not dare to stop watching. I have already seen it. "
Shang Yi laughed, and said, "So wait for a while, you must take a look. This is a major event. If you don't take a look, you may not have such a chance in the future."
Zheng Chenggong said: "There are emperors and male materials, far -reaching knowledge, and the creation of the Chinese prosperous world also refers to it, so there will be such a event in the future. Now it is not just a country. Guowei must also be far away from Wanli BO Tao. "
Shang Yi shook his head and laughed: "You can wear a high hat for me, and all the country comes to the dynasty. Although the world is big, it is already good to have more than a hundred countries, and the overseas countries, you should be It is clear that although they may not have the big Chinese China, they are also long history. Turnive tribute is just equal communication. If we are self -esteem and cover the eyes with one leaf, we cannot take the long and make up for the shortness, and we will have long behind its country. "
Zheng Chenggong was busy and said: "The emperor is far away, and the non -minister can."
Shang Yi smiled again, and said, "Okay, let's say something, you have seen it, it seems that you don't want to help me create a Chinese prosperous world."
Zheng Chenggong: "Do you dare to dare, the shore of the soil, the king of the earth, the people of the soil, the king of the earth, if the emperor is useful, the minister will do his best, although he is dead without regrets, but the emperor is around, but the emperor's side, but the emperor's side, but the emperor's side.
It is a man of the world who can help the world, which can recruit good and war. The minister is a mediocre, and the text is not enough to settle the country.
Township, business and trade, be a Zhu Taogong, enough. "A pause, and said," The emperor is often said, the merchants are easy to settle, or if there is no through the north and the south.
You can only do your best for the country. "
Shang Yi listened, and couldn't help laughing. After a while, she said: "Ming Yan, you need not say these words. As long as a person is diligent, farmers pay for rent, and the businessman tax is of course made for the country.
The contribution is just large or small, high, or low. With your talents, only one introduced businessman, it is really large and small. "
Zheng Chenggong was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Shang Yi, saying: "But your concerns, you are also clear, so I want to arrange a thing for you. After doing it, let you do anything.
"
Zheng Chenggong listened, and said busy: "Please ask the emperor to show it."
Shang Yi took the map and said: "You see, from China to Europe, there are more than 100,000 miles away from China.
Repairing the good ships, replenishing water and food, otherwise they cannot reach Europe. Now the European countries have two response locations on the way, one is India, that is, the ancient country of Tianzhu, and the other is a non -prestigious corner of the state. "
As Shang Yi said, he pointed out these two places on the map. And Zheng Chenggong saw that these two places were indeed in the middle of China to Europe.
Own, our fleet stopped in these two places, but the British where the British borrowed. It is the East India Company from India, the United Kingdom, and Portugal, but if I want to trade with Europe in Europe, I want to communicate with European trade with Europe.
, You can't always rely on the stronghold of other countries, and you must establish your own place in these two places. Since the Europeans can establish the stronghold in these two places, then we should also be in China.
After talking with the British, they will help us establish a stronghold in India and set up a Chinese Western India company, but start next year, so I want to give you this matter. Now
At the end of the year or at the beginning of next year, do you see if you want to do it? "
After signing a column of the British, Shang Yi also began to prepare to arrange for the candidates for the Chinese ambassador to the UK, and the candidates and teams of colonial India. Relatively speaking, the candidates of the Ambassador to the UK are okay.
For those who are familiar with overseas affairs, they still find it. It is difficult for candidates and teams in colonial India, because this is plainly to choose the Governor of India, and it is the first one. Many things have to start from scratch.
This not only requires overseas affairs and is proficient in commercial trade, but also comprehensive human materials with strong administrative command and military capabilities.
This is not easy to find. People in the navy can fight, and have certain administrative organization command, but they are not familiar with overseas affairs and business.
It also made Shang Yi feel very difficult, and could only choose two people to complement each other.
