Seeing that his parents had no intention of picking him up, Wenyuan crawled on the ground, while Miner and Siqi were playing beside him.? ?
For Xiyao, this is the best scene for the family to be together. She smiles lightly and looks at this warm scene. Of course, for Yunxi, his family includes Baoqin and Wenyao.
.
Yunxi played with his son for a while, then remembered something, avoided a few children and said to Xiyao: "By the way, is my uncle back for the New Year?"
Xiyao said: "My brother asked for leave and came back from Yangzhou to celebrate the New Year. I also want to ask Your Majesty to let me see my brother in a few days. My brother will go to Yangzhou on the 15th."
Yunxi said: "Of course you can. Since you want to meet your uncle, you should tell him that I will probably send him on an errand after the new year so that he can be mentally prepared and come to meet me before the fifteenth
.”
Then Yunxi added: "This errand is probably going to be a long time, so let him be mentally prepared." Yunxi still has the habit of saying it in advance when sending his relatives on errands.
Xiyao didn't ask what errand he wanted to send and agreed.
Of course, it would be better for the relatives not to be in a big position. Otherwise, why did Zhu Yuanzhang choose the princess for Zhu Biao who was the daughter of Chang Yuchun who had died at that time? But the Xue family is not to be said to be big now, it is just an ordinary hereditary second generation.
The Duke's family is much more powerful than the Xue family. Therefore, as his father-in-law's family that Yunxi still trusts, Yunxi has been working hard to cultivate the Xue family.
This is the problem of not purging the nobles on a large scale. Without purging the nobles, the forces in the army are intertwined. Small battles are okay, but big battles can only use meritorious generals as commanders. Otherwise, the armies will not be convinced and obedient.
, especially a second-generation monarch like Yunxi.
Fortunately, for the war against Majapahit, several generals carefully understood the situation of Majapahit and believed that for the war against Majapahit, it was not necessary to send out a large army. It was enough to use one guard for the Navy and two guards for the 6th Division.
Otherwise, the human relations would be a headache for Yunxi.
However, the purge of nobles will inevitably lead to a gap in the talents of generals. Although Ping An and others are still capable, they are far from good. In the end, Zhu Di and other princes became the most able to fight.
Yunxi still had nothing to do on the second day, and spent another day in the palace on the third day of the third year. Of course, Yunxi remembered that when Zhu Yuanzhang was still there, the palace was very lively every year during the New Year, so he called Yunwen and other brothers
Went into the palace and had a meal together.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Yunxi was playing with the children. There were not so many entertainment projects in this era, or in other words, many entertainment projects could not be played by Yunxi as the emperor, otherwise there would be officials who would give advice, so Yunxi stayed at home.
He felt bored without a job, so he could only play with his children, which could also enhance the parent-child relationship.
Yunxi now misses all kinds of games from his previous life very much, especially the "Three Kingdoms" series, "Hearts of Iron" series, "Call of Duty" series, and "Civilization" series that Yunxi likes to play most. These are all games that he has not played for many years.
It’s so boring. If you play any game for a month now, he will definitely not get bored.
Even if there is no game, a TV series would be great! Yunxi already wanted to make a drama. But because Zhu Yuanzhang died less than a year ago, Yunxi didn't even do a drama during the New Year in order to show his filial piety, so he didn't
It’s great to tinker with dramas. But Yunxi has decided to wait until he sets the filial piety period to one year before tinkering with dramas to relieve his boredom.
Yunxi was thinking about it, when Wang Xi hurriedly walked in and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, please report to the Shanghai Shipping Department urgently!"
Xiyao quickly hugged Wen Yuan and pulled Min'er away with Siqi.
Yunxi took the memorial and opened it. It turned out that it was a document about how to deal with Li Jiqian and his gang of pirates that had been sent to the capital.
The two leaders in Shanghai disagreed and asked Yunxi to issue an order to decide how to deal with this group of pirates.
Yunxi stood up immediately. He looked at the brochure carefully. It said that Li Jiqian was an old subordinate of Zhang Shicheng and had been wandering at sea more than thirty years ago. Of course, the person in charge at that time was not Li Jiqian but his father, but I have also been wandering since childhood.
If that's all, that's it. If that's all, Yunxi adheres to his consistent emphasis on population. Since they were caught instead of surrendering voluntarily, then they can all be exiled to inland places, such as Yunnan. Just pay attention. Just separate the boss from the ordinary members below.
But Yunxi noticed that the memorial said: "...I inquired carefully and learned that they had been to Solo State (today's Kalimantan), Luzon, Manchuria and other places as pirates, and later settled in Ryukyu. Area,...'
What attracted Yunxi's attention was that they had been to Luzon, Solo Prefecture, Manchuria and other places. It is also strange to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of the Ming Dynasty's navy was very strange. The Ming Dynasty's navy was basically only used for offshore defense and was not used at all. When traveling to distant seas, basically the farthest route is usually to escort grain-carrying ships to Shandong, Beiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other places.
There is no need to build a bunch of big ships. But Zhu Yuanzhang built a bunch of big ships, more than a thousand large battleships and transport ships that can be converted into large battleships, and more than a thousand small and medium-sized battleships. Plus auxiliary combat ships, there are a total of With more than 3,700 ships, so many ships can dominate the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It's hard to say about the Atlantic Ocean, because Yunxi didn't know the size of the European warships at this time, and he heard that the navies of Venice and Genoa were very strong at this time. , but it is basically impossible to surpass the Ming Dynasty.
So Yunxi felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was very wasteful. Normally, such a frugal person would not be so wasteful. Could it be that he thought that only so many ships could pacify the East China Sea and the South China Sea?
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't ask Yunxi what he thought, but this also allowed Yunxi to expand directly at sea without worrying about lack of ships.
However, because the navy of the Ming Dynasty basically never went out to the open sea, Yunxi was always worried that they would be lost at sea during the conquest of Majapahit. Although the navy of the Ming Dynasty could measure latitude, it was difficult to measure longitude at sea. And Even if they could measure longitude, they did not know the longitude and latitude of Majapahit and Srivijaya, and could not use this to go to Srivijaya.
In this case, a guide is very useful. However, although Shi Jinqing and his party came from Srivijaya, it is a small country. How could they know this and have no scientific understanding of navigation? The trip from Guangdong to Srivijaya was based on the experience of an old boatman. He himself didn't understand it. This time he took the boat from Songkhla, and he didn't know the sea conditions in Luzon and Solo state.
