Chapter 197 The old man is back(1/2)
The court has always been generous to the royal family.
It can be said that the Ming Dynasty royal family is the happiest group of people in the world...
There was no system of grace in the former Han Dynasty, nor did it use the policy of automatically becoming commoners after the Five Dynasties of the former Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Taizu Gao is a person who is used to hard life.
From the time when raising cattle and becoming the king of the Central Plains, Emperor Taizu Gao's nature is still the small peasant thought in Fengyang County.
He firmly pursues and believes in it. If he is poor, he will be safe and he will return home in glory.
The emperor cannot stay in his hometown all the time, but it is necessary to do what the hell is to ascend to heaven.
Perhaps, Emperor Taizu Gao didn't want to be cursed by the people in his hometown behind his back, but he forgot that he was already the king, and no one dared to provoke him, let alone scold him.
My hometown became Zhongdu, and I had a political status that was not inferior to Yingtian.
People from my hometown became royal family members and obtained a large amount of land.
Land was the most precious gift that the cow-raising kid thought back then.
Therefore, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty has always been a place where the earth divides the king and eats the wealth.
Emperor Taizu Gao wanted the relatives and relatives in his hometown and his descendants to have endless farming fields. But he also forgot that the total amount of things is limited, but the descendants are endless.
Human greed is also infinite.
A royal family with a county or a county will think about seeking a state or a state.
If you have a fief in a mansion, you will think of a mountain of gold.
...
Nowadays, in addition to giving the royal family fiefs, the imperial court must also receive a reward of money and food during festivals.
Very many.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Xia Yuanji who was drinking tea silently and thought about it. At the end of last year, he seemed to have received tens of thousands of taels of reward belonging to the royal family.
Xia Yuanji's words made him feel a little moved.
After all, consuming the money from his own Han Wang Mansion may make the old man think that his Han Wang Mansion is particularly rich and will inevitably have other thoughts.
If they refuse this year's rewards in the name of the royal family, they will use them for the Double Ninth Festival banquet that the emperor wants to hold. Maybe the old man will make up for this year's members next year when he sees the royal family so sensible.
However, Zhu Gaoxu's face was not revealed. He quietly looked at Xia Yuanji next to him: "Master Xia, guarding against Japanese pirates along the coast is a major event in the country, and I dare not delay and neglect. Although the royal family is difficult, I think it is always better than the people on the coast. Otherwise..."
Xia Yuanji raised his eyebrows: "What does your Highness want?"
Zhu Gaoxu coughed: "This year, the Ministry of Revenue submitted a memorial, proposing to erase some of the rewards given to the royal family? I went to share with the royal family. I think everyone would not have any opinions for His Majesty's Double Ninth Festival banquet..."
Zhu Gaoxu is taking the best plan, which requires both benefits and practical benefits.
Xia Yuanji chuckled: "Your Highness, the old minister would never dare to do such an offensive job..."
The Minister of Revenue was very bachelor and said nothing but a refusal, and pointed out Zhu Gaoxu's intentions.
Xia Yuanji said, I, Xia Weizhe, will not take the blame!
Zhu Gaoxu was helpless, and he was not sure at all, so he said, "What if I persuade the royal family first, and the royal family will give memorials? Lord Xia, please cooperate more at that time."
Xia Yuanji smiled: "Your Highness's filial heart will definitely move the world. If the royal family had no objection, the old minister would definitely not be a villain."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction.
He stood up, walked to Xia Yuanji's desk, and looked at the Shu Daonan on the table: "I must hang this character in the royal palace in the most conspicuous position!"
...
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han led the Shu Road to Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Revenue, to leave Xia Mansion.
Then, he went to the clan mansion.
Soon, Zhu Gaoxu left the clan mansion with joy again, and waved his hand and asked people to return to the Han Palace quickly, asking people to make wine and meat quickly for him to enjoy.
...
The Governor's Office of the Five Army.
As the governors took turns to the cabinet, the governor's office of the Five Army became more and more prosperous.
In the past, the memorials sent to the Ministry of War will now be copied several times and sent to the Governor's Office of the Five Army.
In the past ten years, Xu Jingchang, the left governor of the former army, was in the cabinet.
In the former army governor's office.
Zhu Zhanji's regular clothes look heroic and extraordinary.
In front of him was a huge sand table, half dark blue and half green.
This is the Daming maritime geostationary sand table along the southeast coast, from Shandong to Guangdong to the north.
Around the sand table, a group of governors of the five armies, the generals, the assistants, etc. were listed on the left and right.
Zhu Zhanji had just arrived and before he could use tea, people arrived in front of the sand table.
Zhu Yong, Duke Chengguo, stood aside, and looked at the generals standing upright, and was very satisfied. He spoke first: "You know that the Japanese pirates are now invading the coast of our Ming Dynasty again, which is abominable! As a Ming warrior, we are in charge of the army, so we should make suggestions and eliminate the Japanese pirates!"
Zhu Yong played a role in pointing out the topic.
However, Zhu Zhanji seemed a little dissatisfied, and he immediately added: "Those who offend my Ming Dynasty will only beheaded and repay you!"
The position is far more intense than Zhu Yong's elimination of Japanese pirates.
But the effect is even more obvious.
As the beheading came out of Zhu Zhanji's mouth, the generals present concentrated their minds, and a wisp of murderous aura flashed through their eyes.
On the side, Li Bin, the admiral of the Shenji Camp who was called, seemed a little depressed.
It is impossible for the Shenji Camp to have a chance to fight against Japanese pirates.
Although the cannon weighing ten thousand pounds is powerful, it is not conducive to transportation.
And the tactics of Japanese pirates have always been leaking.
With a few sampans, he rushed to the unmanned coast and invaded the mainland.
Mobility is far from comparable to Shenjiying.
Zhu Yong was already holding a long pole in his hand. He held the pole and gently tapped the Qiantang River on the sand table.
"This time the Japanese pirates invaded the border, and more than half of the damage was lost in the Ningbo Prefecture Dinghaiqian, the court must send support to Qiantang. But I think this is the thief's plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain!"
Qiantang is rich, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely not let something happen to Qiantang.
Now that Qiantang is invaded by Japanese pirates, the court must send troops to Qiantang to guard the five armies.
All the people present were all generals who had experienced many battles in the Ming Dynasty. Such simple strategies could be seen through at a glance.
"But, where will the Japanese pirates choose to start?"
Someone asked a question.
This is the most critical at present.
Only by knowing yourself and others can you win every battle!
The southeast coast, the long coastline, is enough to discourage any man who commands the army.
If we cannot guess the real purpose of the Japanese pirates, it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to gather millions of troops to prepare for the entire coast.
In fact, there has always been a way to force the Japanese pirates to expose their goals.
That is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.
Move the coastal people along the Ming Dynasty to cities in the mainland.
In this way, the Ming Dynasty could arrange a large number of military officers and soldiers in each city to fight against the Japanese pirates.
But now, it is just a place that has been attacked by Japanese pirates. If the entire coastal area is moved inward, the taxes on the Ming Dynasty will be a heavy blow.
"I have already sent a letter to Zheng He and asked him to draw the warship back." Zhu Zhanji was also having a headache and said in a deep voice the arrangement he had made.
Hearing the sound, everyone calmed down and looked at the young crown prince.
Zhu Zhanji smiled helplessly: "If there were no internal spies in the Ningbo Prefecture, there would definitely be no such great casualties in the Dinghai area. These days, I have been thinking about it. If I want to eliminate the troubles of Japanese pirates for many years for the Ming Dynasty, I can only attack Huanglong and strangle the Japanese pirates from the root."
If it weren't for this, Zhu Zhanji wouldn't have asked Zheng He to draw the warships from the treasure fleet back.
Originally, Zhu Yong and others were still thinking about how to prevent Japanese pirates from invading.
I never thought that what the crown prince was thinking about was how to fundamentally kill all the Japanese pirates and solve this problem once and for all.
Everyone couldn't help but feel silent, thinking about what happened.
Finally, Xu Jingchang, the rotating cabinet of this Xun, spoke: "In this way, the Ming Dynasty must launch a large-scale military service. I am afraid that this matter can only be decided by His Majesty after the Double Ninth Festival."
Zhu Zhanji breathed out.
He looked at everyone.
"The army needs to train. Draw officers and soldiers to enrich the navy. No matter what, it is impossible to deal with Japanese pirates without water."
