Shortly after Zhu Cixuan summoned Wen'an, he received urgent information from the Military Information Department of the Inner Factory.

This information was sent from Shandong and belongs to the most urgent category.

Zhu Cilang did not dare to delay, so he immediately opened and looked at it.

The information was about the recent movements of the rebels under Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing. What surprised Zhu Cixuan was that the rebels did not continue to go north, but rushed to Dengzhou.

Dengzhou is located in Jiaodong Peninsula and has countless good ports.

Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's purpose of killing Dengzhou was obvious, that was to escape through the sea.

Zhu Cixuan immediately ordered people to copy the information in the Ministry of War Tang newspaper and sent people to rush to Shandong. He ordered the Shence Army and Huang Degong's troops to go to Dengzhou immediately, and must intercept and kill the rebels of the second Liu before they fled in the sea.

What made Zhu Cilang feel a little relieved was that the report stated that the governor of Dengzhou Yuan Weitai had responded immediately and organized people to burn the Dengzhou generation's fishing boats. Without these fishing boats, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo could only sigh and wait for the encirclement of Huang Degong's troops and Shence troops.

Logically speaking, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's troops were all mobs and their combat power was very limited. Even if they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they would not add too much to their strength. However, Zhu Cilang could not allow Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing made this bad news.

Why is it not a happy thing to be betrayed by the generals? However, it is a blessing to have a loss of power. Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's rebellion gave the Shence Army a chance to fight.

At present, it is still a bit difficult for the Shence Army to fight the main force of the Eight Banners, but when they fight with Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's troops, Zhu Cixuan believes that they will even gain a slight advantage.

What's more, Huang Degong's troops cooperated with the attack, Zhu Cixuan believed that this encirclement and suppression was a foolproof one.

However, this incident also reminded Zhu Cilang that he must have a navy master of his own.

Since Zhu Cixuan decided to push the front to Shandong instead of retreating to the Jianghuai River, there is no need to build the Yangtze River Navy, but to look at it a little longer. Dengzhou has a natural port and a water city, so it is most appropriate to rebuild the Navy here.

Starting from Dengzhou, the navy could radiate to large areas in Tianjin and even Liaodong, which was of great significance to the strategic restraint of the Qing Dynasty.

Now Longjiang Shipyard has gradually improved its shipbuilding speed, and its shipbuilding speed is getting faster and faster.

Zhu Cixuan estimated that if he devoted all his efforts to build a sea ship, he would be able to form a navy ship in at most three months.

Of course, the fastest way is to go to Fujian and Guangdong to buy it.

The shipbuilding industry there is very mature, and it can be purchased for both Guangzhou and lucky ships. The only problem is that the price is expensive. If those unscrupulous merchants know that it was purchased by the imperial court, they will definitely kill them.

Besides, buying from elsewhere is not a long-term solution.

Zhu Cilang's soul comes from later generations and understands the principle that only by mastering core competitiveness can one survive.

It would be extremely sad if an imperial court did not have its own shipbuilding skills.

So Zhu Cixuan decided that all the ships would be built by the Longjiang Shipyard. At worst, he could just wait for one or two more months. He could still afford to wait for this time.

During this period, Zhu Cilang was very concerned about the prices in Nanjing. Not long ago, the imperial court punished the unscrupulous merchants to stabilize the prices of grain. However, the food prices have risen again these days. Although it is within a reasonable range, it still makes Zhu Cilang a little worried.

If the problem in Huguang is not solved for a day, the grain prices in Nanzhili cannot really drop in one day.

As long as Zuo Liangyu does not die for a day, the problem in Huguang will always be there...

This is a dead knot.

Sending assassins to assassinate is too risky. If it fails, it will completely force the fight against Zuo Liangyu.

Zhu Cilang has already made a secret arrangement in Huguang to win over generals such as Jin Shenghuan, Ma Jinzhong, etc., and there is no need to be in danger at this juncture.

He just hopes that God will take Zuo Liangyu soon. After careful calculation, this guy's life will be over soon, right?

Zhu Cilang's worries are not just these.

Recently, the vassal kings who were taking refuge in Nanzhili submitted memorials and requested to go to the vassal as if they had agreed.

These requests sound reasonable at first glance. After all, the original vassal areas of these vassal kings had been captured and now they are homeless. According to the Ming Dynasty, adult vassal kings could not stay near the capital for a long time and had to go to other places to get into vassals.

But the thing about Zushi is really a scam sometimes.

Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that his descendants would suffer, so he set it very high when formulating the treatment he enjoyed by the vassal kings. Later, Zhu Di failed to reduce the vassal kings, and the military power of the vassal kings was greatly reduced, but the financial power was not cut down much.

The vassal kings all have farmlands, and these farmlands are tax-free and are sufficient for use by the royal palace.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the vassal kings could not do business, the actual situation was that the vassal kings found an agent to stand up, relying on the background of the royal palace to expand their business, or even monopolize them.

In this case, the blood from the vassal areas was basically sucked dry by the vassal kings.

What’s even more terrifying is that not only princes, princes, but also royal families at all levels can receive annual salaries.

According to the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son of the prince was granted the crown prince and hereditary prince; the rest of the prince were demoted to the first-class prince.

The eldest son of the county prince inherited the prince, and the other sons were surrendered to the first class and the generals of Zhenguo.

The generals of Zhenguo were demoted to the first class and were granted the title of General of the Suiguo.

The generals of the state of the state were surrendered to the first class and granted the title of General of the State of the State of the State.

The sons of the General of Fengguo were demoted to the first class and were granted the title of Lieutenant of Zhenguo.

The lieutenants of the Zhenguo were demoted to the first-class lieutenants of the auxiliary state.

The lieutenants of the auxiliary country were demoted to the first rank and granted the title of lieutenant of the Feng Kingdom.

Since the lieutenant of Fengguo, he has no longer surrendered, and his descendants have been lieutenant of Fengguo for generations.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the number of royal families was too large, and the government and local financial burdens were increased and the government was unable to provide relief to the victims was also a reason for the frequent occurrence of rebellion.

This problem is the most difficult to solve.

Zhu Ciyang can't kill all these vassal kings who are raised as pigs, right?

Although he really wants to do this...

Therefore, he had no choice but to delay, and not allow the vassal kings to join the vassal on the grounds of being powered during the war. This large amount of money saved can be used to build the navy, which is not much worth more than to build the royal palace for the vassal kings?

Of course this is just a temporary solution, and in the end it is necessary to find a solution.

Zhu Cilang had a preliminary idea, which was to enfeoff the vassal kings overseas through overseas expansion.

America, Australia, Southeast Asia, anywhere.

As long as they do not suck blood in the Ming Dynasty, they will not cause any burden on the finances of the Ming Dynasty court, nor will they accumulate social conflicts in disguise.

However, the premise of doing this is that Zhu Cilang has completely restored China.

At least from the moment, it will take a lot of time to achieve this.

It is understandable that the royal family enjoyed privileges in feudal society. But the problem is that rights and obligations are equal, while the royal family of the Ming Dynasty only enjoyed power but did not assume the obligations.

What Zhu Cilang wanted to do was to make the power and obligations of the vassal kings as equal as possible.
