Chapter 110 Killing (2)
The Ming Dynasty fleet arrived at the sphere of influence of famous masters from the Mount of Zhuhou in the East in the early morning. The Jinyiwei guards and the relevant officials also had their hands off the ship and came ashore to inform the mountain masters of the Ming Dynasty to arrive here.
I don’t know if it was because I vomited enough, or because I became energetic after washing and dressing up, Zhu Gaochi’s surging feeling was like a surging between his chest and abdomen disappeared.
He leaned leisurely on the soft collapse, looked out the window and smiled teasingly, "Look at this poor place, where is the best?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng He also looked out the window. Since the Ming fleet arrived here, the local indigenous residents by the sea were completely in panic, hiding in the low thatched cottage, looking at it with fear and caution.
Not to mention that the city walls are completely inferior to the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the people of the Ming Dynasty, these people are shorter in size and have no calmness on their faces. Instead, their temperament is similar to those slaves Zheng He usually sees.
Standing bent, looking up, and smiling flatteringly and hypocritically.
The wind blew the dragon energy on the bow of the Ming Dynasty warship and the golden five-clawed golden dragon on it seemed to be alive, with its teeth and claws disdaining all directions.
Not to mention those Japanese natives, even those Japanese warriors who came after hearing the news and were all alert on the dock, their eyes were full of awe at the Ming warship.
"In the overseas island countries, tsunamis and earthquakes are constantly coming." Zhu Gaochi continued, "historical records record that volcanoes erupt in Japan every year are completely different from the fertile fields in the Central Plains. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu of Han, he was the first time he paid tribute to our Chinese tribute." Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes and patted his belly, "The first time in his life, Emperor Guangwu, he saw a man who was not as tall as a war horse. Long Yan was very happy to give the seal of the King of the Japanese."
"After the prosperous Tang Dynasty, people were sent to the Celestial Empire to learn about the country's articles and govern the country, and claimed to be a country. In such a place, even Goryeo was not as good as Goryeo, at least the Goryeo in the past was next to our Liaodong."
"Through the vast sea, the emperor actually got in mind about them."
Speaking of this, Zhu Gaochi stood up and walked to the window, "The emperor's hand is so silly! The Japanese finally stopped fighting in the north and south. He secretly carried the other party to take action again. Moreover, he would help whoever is weak, so that they could continue to fight."
"I just can't figure out why? Even if I give this poor place to Daming, what can Daming do? Japan has no peace all day long. What benefits can our Daming get? After all, selling equipment is a path!"
Although he was a wise ruler in history, he was a prince taught by traditional Confucian scholars. He knew that the world was China and he had no interest in overseas affairs at all. Besides, he had a bit of a naughty remark about Zhu Yunyu's behavior.
After all, he does not have the knowledge of Zhu Yunxiu, but then again, who would care about foreign countries who lived in the Ming Dynasty in this era?
"To fight Goryeo and recover the old land of China. We must use troops in Yunnan, in order to collect the power of the chieftain to the central government and implement the transformation of the county and the land to return to the current. Furthermore, outside the border of Yunnan, the Myanmar area should not be expanded. Otherwise, the empire and the southwest will have more enemies!"
These words show Zhu Gaochi's superb political gaze, especially the upcoming battle to wipe out the chieftains in Yunnan.
In fact, it is not necessary to fight the chieftains in Yunnan, so the empire really wanted to deal with Myanmar. During the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, the Burmese king dared to kill the envoys of the Great Yuan and use troops to fight against Yunnan. Although the Mongol Yuan finally launched a large army, forcing the Burmese king to bow down and surrender, after all, outside of the southwest of China, there is such a barbarian country that can eat up the land in the southwest of the empire, after all, it is a confidant.
It is a despicable name for a barbarian country, but the elites of this era have a clear understanding of Myanmar's national strength. Myanmar has swallowed Siam and other places several times, which shows its ambitions.
The empire set up six Xuanwei corps in the southwestern border of Yunnan to lead them, but after all, it was beyond reach.
Now that the Ming Dynasty's troops are winning strongly, they dare not act rashly. What about the future?
Zhu Gaochi's judgment on the southwest was correct, and the direction of history was exactly what he was worried about. It was not until more than two hundred years later that the Qing-Myanmar War launched by Qianlong completely eliminated this hidden danger, making it impossible for China at that time that there was no force around China that could threaten the Central Plains territory, and completely cut off the other side's path to a great power.
"I can't figure it out with such a big thought in Japan." Zhu Gaochi continued to smile, "But our long lively master, the inner saint and outer king are becoming more and more capable!"
The sage cultivates virtue and politics to the outside world, and the king of hell takes action.
"Can you understand what I said?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zheng He again and asked.
"The villain doesn't understand!" Zheng He smiled, "But the villain always feels strange in this place. You see, those people outside look so respectful, but the Japanese pirates in Japan are so cruel, as if they are not beasts raised in life."
These words made Zhu Gaochi stunned at first, and then his face became extremely serious.
"The villain also caught Japanese pirates back then. The things they did were more beasts than beasts, but you see, how respectful to us now?" Zheng He continued.
"These barbarians and lowly people can only be hard-working but not gentle!" Zhu Gaochi spoke slowly.
"Actually, along the way, the villain discovered that although Japan is poor, there are also good places, such as our current harbor!" Zheng He said, "A little broadening is the best harbor. Now the Ming Dynasty's sea trade is booming, and this place can be used as a transit place for the ocean."
"It can be used as a harbor for merchant ships to moor, and a warship can be stationed to defend the route and eliminate pirates. The villain remembers that when the prince talked about the trouble of Japanese pirates, it is not advisable to ban the sea. Forbidden sea is equivalent to letting people come. Only when we have soldiers on the sea, will the Japanese pirates dare not come."
"The East Japan can be used as a springboard for the Ming Dynasty to go to sea. It is the seaside of the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless island countries. How are the scenery and what specialties are there? The Ming Dynasty knows nothing about it." Zheng He continued, "Now the Ming Dynasty is promoting sea trade and establishing customs, so it can no longer be used overseas..."
(In the second year of Yongle (1404), Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty sent Zheng He to Japan. Zheng He governed 100,000 naval troops to Japan and announced an edict to Ashikaga Yoshimi, the third general of the Muromachi shogunate: "Let him suppress the enemy on his own and govern his own country's laws.")
He was happy, but Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Maritime Trade? After all, it is not the foundation of the country!"
(Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, stopped voyage to the West, and Emperor Xuanzong resurrected).
Upon hearing this, Zheng He immediately lowered his head and said nothing, but his eyes looked at the sea, but his eyes were full of heat.
He still remembered the stories he had mentioned when he was a child that the silk produced in China could be exchanged for equal amounts of gold when he went to Dashi and other countries. If it were farther apart, it would be hard to find a thousand gold.
At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cabin, and then a voice came, "There are thousands of households in the guards of the Japanese in the Jinyiwei, and see His Highness the Prince!"
Zheng He said in the cabin, "What's the matter?"
"All the children of the famous clans of Damingshan, the Japanese princes, and their subordinate ministers, will greet His Highness outside the port!"
Zhu Gaochi's weak face showed a proud smile, "Come on, change my clothes for me!"
