"The guilty will be punished, and the meritorious will be rewarded. During the Zhu Chenhao Rebellion, Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Jiangxi, and Zhang Yin, the commander of the Zhenwei Camp and the Shibo Navy, played the most important role. Wang Shouren was given the order to reverse the crisis with appropriate strategies.
Moreover, I had noticed the rebels' attempt to rebel beforehand, and cut off their support of bandits in advance, greatly weakening the rebels' strength. How can this loyal and good minister be unimportant? I decided to make Wang Shouren a new uncle, and appointed Wang Shouren as the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, plus the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Wang Shouren led his army to stay in the south, and is clearing out the remnants of Zhu Chenhao's rebellion and capturing the rebel bandits. I will send someone to pass on the decree and commend him. Do you have any different opinions?" Zhu Houzhao said solemnly.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I will obey your decree." All the ministers said one after another.
Wang Shouren was a civil servant and was granted a title as a civil servant, which was rare in the Ming Dynasty. There were only two before this, and coincidentally both were surnamed Wang. One was named Wang Ji. During the Zhengtong period, he defeated the Oara Army and conquered Luchuan three times. His military exploits were so great that he was
He was granted the title of Uncle Jingyuan. There was also a man named Wang Yue, who was granted the title of Uncle Wei Ning. He once attacked the Hetao and attacked the Tatar royal court. He fought thirteen battles in his life and never lost. Wang Yue was Wang Yangming's childhood idol, and Wang Yangming became
Because I admired him, I traveled to the border when I was young, hoping to fight the Tatars.
"Zhang Yin is the commander of the Shibo Navy. The Protector is thousands of miles away fighting against the Folangji people. When he learned that the rebels were causing a rebellion, he still sent Zhang Yin to lead the warships back to the Ming Dynasty to participate in quelling the rebellion even though he lacked troops.
Yin lived up to his expectations and tried his best to stop the rebel navy in Nanjing and protect Nanjing, which bought a lot of time for the follow-up to reverse the war situation. This good general should be rewarded. He was specially promoted to Zhang Yin, the third class Weiyuan Marquis, and protected the country by Zhang Yanling.
According to the report, Zhang Yin was appointed as the governor of Manchuria in Nanyang to guard the seaport of Manchuria Strait. Special envoys of the Nanyang countries were appointed to handle the affairs of the Nanyang countries." Zhu Houzhao continued.
Zhang Yin bowed out, knelt down and shouted long live, kowtowed to express his gratitude, and his eyes filled with excitement.
He Zhang Yin had no backing and no fame. He had spent more than 20 years in the army. He relied on his military achievements in Bian Town to enter the Jinyi Guards, but he entered the Fusi in Nan Town. He thought that this life was over. Who could
It can be imagined that after following the Lord Protector, he entered the regiment camp from a small family in a thousand years in eight years. Then he followed the Lord Protector in the north and south, and rose all the way up. After eight years, he became a marquis and honored his ancestors. This was something I had never dared to think of before.
How can you not be moved to tears by such things?
One month later, Zhang Yin led his navy to sea. For more than 20 years, he worked diligently to guard Nanyang. During this period, he and Wang Hong repelled the attacks of the Franco-German and European fleets, and marched into Lisbon, which shocked the world.
In the spring of the eighteenth year of Jinxiu's reign, Zhang Yin was on his way back to China by boat to attend Zhang Yanling's birthday party. He fell asleep on the boat and never woke up. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Governor of Nanyang and the first-class Marquis of Weiyuan. He was given the posthumous title of Zhong.
Jing.
"As for the rewards, promotions and awards for counter-rebellion soldiers, and the pensions for fallen soldiers, we just have to follow the rules. This matter has been agreed for the time being, and then comes the second major matter, which is about the establishment of a sea ban in the Ming Dynasty and the opening of sea trade.
thing."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhang Yanling and continued: "As you all know, in the past year or so, the Protector of the State has led the Invincible Fleet of the City Navy to go to sea to open up sea trade routes. With the Eastern Kingdom of Folangji,
The fleet consisted of hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fought many fierce battles. They advanced with great success, captured many Nanyang ports, and annihilated the Folangji people at sea. They signed many treaties with the Nanyang countries, and the Folangji country also had to make peace with them.
I called for a truce. More than ten countries in Southeast Asia sent envoys to come and express their allegiance and submission. The name of our great Ming Dynasty spreads all over the world, and everyone in the world admires it. The great cause of the protector of the country is a great achievement. I am here to express my loyalty to the protector of the country.
I would like to express my respect to the Duke and all the soldiers who fought bloody battles."
Regarding Zhang Yanling's war in the South China Sea, the entire imperial court had known about it for a long time. In fact, after every battle, news spread to the country. Zhang Yanling was able to achieve such a major victory in one and a half years despite the huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, which can be called

Regardless of whether you like Zhang Yanling or not, no matter where you stand, you have to admire Zhang Yanling's series of victories in this overseas campaign.
All the ministers nodded and pointed fingers at Zhang Yanling in praise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you all. This is my equal responsibility and is not worth mentioning." Zhang Yanling said humbly.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "You don't have to be too modest, Lord Protector. You should be praised for your contribution. Can you tell me, what should we do next?"
Zhang Yanling bowed his hands in salute and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, opening up sea trade is the first step, and the next step is the most important. That is to vigorously develop sea trade, encourage commerce and navigation, and promote trade prosperity. The imperial court must promulgate corresponding measures.
, in order to encourage the development of trade circulation and handicraft industry. In addition, we will carry out corresponding promotion according to the agreements with the Southeast Asian countries. Regarding specific matters, I have formulated some suggestions here, and I also ask the emperor and colleagues to discuss and promulgate them."
After Zhang Yanling finished speaking, he turned around and shouted outside the hall: "Bring the things up."
A chamberlain outside the hall came in holding a tall stack of memorials. Those memorials were in a thick stack, stacked up one by one and already exceeded the chamberlain's head.
When everyone was stunned, Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have drafted relevant laws and policy suggestions, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to review them."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, Zhang Yong came forward with two young eunuchs, took the memorial in a hurry, and placed it on Zhu Houzhao's dragon case.
Zhu Houzhao slowly flipped through the pages and said: "The Five-Year Plan for the Development of Maritime Trade and Commerce in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Suggestions on the Imperial Court Encouraging the Development of Barren Mountains to Vigorously Develop Sericulture"... Well...this is "On Vigorously Developing Porcelain, Textile, Lacquerware and Other Handicrafts"

All the ministers in the palace were quiet. They were surprised that Zhang Yanling had actually drawn up such a detailed development plan and a large number of relevant details. How much time it would take to do it. Some people secretly admired in their hearts, this is the Protector Zhang Yanling, this is the real
People who do things.
However, with so many petitions, how long will it last?
"Duke Protector, did you think and write these memorials alone?" Zhu Houzhao was also surprised.
The uncle is really doing something, and he really wants to do it well. He also really thinks that this matter will change the current situation of Ming Dynasty. Although he still has some doubts, because of his uncle's passion, he also wants to do it.
Strong support.
"These are my thoughts over the past two years. I am doing this, so I naturally have to do everything myself, down to the smallest detail," Zhang Yanling said.
Zhu Houzhao nodded, closed the memorial in his hand, glanced at the ministers and said: "My lords, you can ask yourselves, how many of you are as diligent and as diligent as the Protector of the Country? Are you thinking of everything for the important affairs of the court? Don't talk about anything else.
This attitude is already admirable."
All the ministers said one after another: "Yes, yes, I admire you very much."
Zhu Houzhao said: "So, what do you think about these memorials?"
The ministers were silent and looked at each other.
Yang Tinghe coughed and came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, I admire the Lord Protector's diligent attitude towards serving the country. However, with so many proposals, it may be difficult to make a hasty decision today. I don't know yet whether the content is appropriate. Everyone has to spend some time.
Let's discuss it. I suggest you write it down and distribute it to all the yamen, and then make a decision after studying it in detail."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling said solemnly: "Your Majesty, these matters cannot be delayed. I suggest that we read them all in court to discuss and make decisions. Silkworm cultivation and planting will wait for no one. After a few months of discussion, the weather will pass and this year will be missed. The imperial court
Without a clear attitude, merchants and people will wait and see. Now we cannot delay, we must seize the day. I am willing to read all the memorials, explain each one, and pass each one."
Yang Tinghe frowned and said: "Duke Protector, there must be procedures for doing things. You can't just do whatever you want. There are so many memorials, which involve the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty and have a great impact. Each of them needs to be discussed in detail.
Improper measures will have serious consequences. It’s useless to be anxious. We can’t just do nothing and discuss these things here. This matter is important, but other government affairs are also very important.
important."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Yang Chief Fu, no government affairs are more important than this. I think Yang Chief Fu and everyone should be patient and discuss these matters before doing anything else."
Yang Tinghe sneered: "That's unreasonable."
Other officials also echoed: "That's right, what are you talking about? I don't think this matter is that urgent. We still have a lot of things in the yamen."
Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly said: "Duke Protector, I don't think there is any need to discuss this matter here."
