Chapter 622 For the great companion, the country can be destroyed [2 more]
Especially Chen Ding, the Minister of Household Affairs, as the chief financial steward of the Ming Dynasty, when Chu Yi requested the construction of ships to expand the strength of the Ming Navy, Chen Ding strongly opposed it.
It's just that Chu Yi couldn't be defeated, and the emperor intervened, so Chu Yi's original proposal was reluctantly passed.
Now Zhu Houzhao is extremely crazy and wants to allocate 20 million taels of silver to build a big ship. In Chen Ding's view, this is simply nonsense.
So after Wang Anlun finished speaking, Chen Ding couldn't help but stepped forward, blew his beard and stared at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Seeing Chen Ding speak, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frown.
Zhu Houzhao both liked and disliked Chen Ding. He liked Chen Ding's integrity and dedication to his duties, but he also disliked Chen Ding's strictness, being too strict with the past, and not understanding how to be tolerant at all.
What he just said made his attitude clear. No one among the civil and military officials present stood up, but Chen Ding stood up clearly. This is not pedantic.
However, Zhu Houzhao was not a foolish king after all. Even though he disliked Chen Ding very much, he still suppressed the displeasure in his heart and looked at Chen Ding and said: "Chen Shangshu need not say more, I have made up my mind, the Qing family should retreat!"
If Chen Ding is so easy to persuade, it is not Chen Ding. Seeing that Chen Ding did not admit it at all: "Your Majesty, please take back your order. Otherwise, unless your Majesty removes me from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely
I will not spare a tael of silver for Your Majesty to spend so much!"
Yang Yiqing on the side couldn't help but said to Chen Ding when he heard this: "Master Chen, you"
Wang Hua teased Chen Ding and persuaded Chen Ding not to go against the emperor, but Chen Ding's temperament was known to everyone in the civil and military dynasties.
The emperor couldn't help being angry. He had already given Chen Ding some face. He never thought that Chen Ding would be so stubborn. In anger, the emperor couldn't help roaring: "In that case, I will fulfill your wishes and tell you my will immediately."
Remove Chen Ding from his position as Minister of Household Affairs."
"Your Majesty, this is not possible"
Yang Yiqing couldn't help but plead to the emperor.
But Zhu Houzhao was furious at the moment, especially when he saw Chen Ding's stubborn look. He waved his sleeves and said: "Jun Wuxi, Yang Qing's family, do you have to object too?"
I can’t do it?”
With a sigh in his heart, Yang Yiqing bowed slightly and said: "I don't dare!"
With a cold snort, Zhu Houzhao ignored Chen Ding, who looked disappointed, and said with a focused look:
"Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun!"
Among the officials, Yu Dayou and Yue Buqun quickly stepped forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "I am here!"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the two of them and said slowly: "Yu Dayou, His Highness King Wu has recommended you to me more than once, saying that you are a rare general. I have specially ordered you to deploy naval troops and horses and set up ships to sail to the West.
Dig three feet into the ground for me, and I will find Chu Daban no matter what. If a god stands in his way, he will kill the god, and if he stands in the way of the Buddha, he will kill the Buddha."
Yu Dayou said in a deep voice: "The last general takes orders!"
After giving instructions to Yu Dayou, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yue Buqun and said: "Yue Buqun, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guards who was promoted by Chu Daban. I order you to recruit elite men from the Jinyi Guards to sail to the West with the fleet.
You must find Chu Daban for me."
Yue Buqun said slowly: "I will obey your Majesty's will!"
After doing this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he glanced at the civil and military figures one by one and said: "As ministers, you should share the worries of your Majesty. I do not expect your approval. I only hope that your family will not object. If you let
I know that if anyone dares to do anything in it, then don’t blame me for not caring about the friendship between king and minister!"
A surge of imperial power emerged, and all the civil and military officials looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was full of evil spirits, and seemed to suddenly realize that the emperor who was protected by Chu Yi in the past had grown up without knowing it.
The civil and military officials of the court dispersed, but Zhu Houzhao's decision to stay in the court spread throughout the capital as if it had grown wings.
For a moment, the capital was in an uproar. That was a total of 20 million taels of silver, and it was actually used to build ships.
That is to say, the policy of opening up the sea in the Ming Dynasty has been implemented for several years. I dare not say that all the people, at least a considerable part of the people, have felt the benefits brought by the policy of opening up the sea. If not, if they are told
If the imperial court spends so much gold and silver to build some kind of ship, I'm afraid the whole world will be boiling over it. If someone with a heart stirs up the situation, it might lead to a big chaos.
Even so, using 20 million taels of silver to build a ship at once still left many people stunned.
In less than three days, Yu Dayou, who had been ordered by the emperor, had already received more than a hundred new large ships mobilized from various shipyards. In addition to the matching large and small ships, there were enough ships.
A huge fleet of hundreds of ships was easily formed.
At the same time, Yue Buqun, who had been ordered by the emperor, also selected a group of capable people from the Jinyi Guards.
On this day, Emperor Zhu Houzhao personally saw off Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others.
Yu Dayou and Yue Buqun respectfully took the water and wine from the Emperor's hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhu Hou looked at the two of them and said: "Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun, you are here just to find a great companion. I grant you exclusive rights. If you do anything that hinders the search for a great companion, you will act accordingly. I say
However, gods will kill gods if they stand in their way, and Buddhas will kill if they stand in the way of Buddha. Even if we set sail across the Western Sea, we must still find a great companion."
Just from Zhu Houzhao's words, Yu Dayou and Yue Buqun can feel the determination not to give up until Chu Yi is found.
If there was really someone or a country that was hindering the search for Chu Yi's whereabouts, I believe Zhu Houzhao would never frown and order that person or country to be destroyed.
Watching Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others go away, Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed with hope.
Although his reason told Zhu Houzhao that it was not that easy to find Chu Yi, under his sensibility, Zhu Houzhao still held some hopes.
In the ninth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, Yu Dayou and Yue Buqun led hundreds of fleets to the Western Ocean. After sailing for several months, they finally reunited with Jiao Yuan, Lin Pingzhi and others.
The two sides merged, and a huge fleet with more than a thousand ships appeared. The entire Western Ocean was shaken. Countries large and small were like ants in front of the Ming Dynasty's huge fleet.
Although they have realized that the crime of Chu Yi's disappearance is not between Jiao Yuan and Lin Pingzhi, they still have to be punished, so Yu Dayou and Yue Buqun brought the emperor's imperial edict and exempted Jiao Yuan and Lin Pingzhi.
Although they held official positions, they were ordered to assist Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others to continue searching for Chu Yi's whereabouts.
Although they were dismissed from their official positions, both Jiao Yuan and Lin Pingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor did not hold them responsible. In the final analysis, the reason for their dismissal was obviously the emperor's attitude.
If Chu Yi can be found, it goes without saying that it won't be a problem for the two of them to be promoted to the third level.
Even though the Ming Dynasty fleet has thousands of ships, the Western Ocean is so huge that it is really inconspicuous if only a few people are spread out.
Therefore, under the suggestions of Jiao Yuan and Lin Pingzhi, Yu Dayou and Yue Buqun decisively adopted their suggestions.
Recruit ships and manpower from some Western countries, and then follow the map to find Chu Yi's whereabouts.
For a time, the West was in chaos. Some small countries were frightened and naturally did not dare to resist. However, with so many countries, it is impossible for all countries to be obedient. There is no shortage of bold people at any time.
.
The same is true for countries. Several countries were not willing to become vassals of the Ming Dynasty at all, and even secretly united to try to resist the oppression of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, one can imagine how the troops gathered from these countries could be the opponents of the Ming Dynasty fleet. They were easily wiped out.
The fate of several countries can be imagined. After arriving in the Western Land for more than half a year, Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others, who had not found a single clue, all had evil fire in their hearts, but this happened.
Several countries collided with each other.
Yu Dayou decisively led his army to conquer these countries, and then plundered these countries like locusts crossing the border.
It was worthy of emptying out the treasury of several countries. The gold and silver seized alone amounted to tens of millions of taels. As for priceless treasures such as jewelry, jades, spices, etc., Yu Dayou and others even lost their money in a short while.
It is difficult to calculate it completely.
However, looking at the seizures, no one showed joy on their faces, whether it was Yu Dayou or Lin Pingzhi.
They knew very well that the emperor sent them to the Western Seas to find the whereabouts of Chu Yi. As for how many countries he had destroyed and how much territory he had occupied during this period, to be honest, his majesty really would not let him go.
In the heart.
With a sigh, Jiao Yuan glanced at Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others said with a glance: "Guys, as usual, we will send people to deliver the captured trophies to the capital, and then report to His Majesty the progress of finding His Highness King Wu."
Yu Dayou grinned and said: "I really don't know where the General Manager has gone? In order to find the General Manager, we have destroyed more than a dozen countries. If this were put in the past, our achievements in destroying the country would be enough.
The dukes and princes have lived for generations, and their names will remain in history.”
Jiao Yuan glanced at Yu Dayou indifferently and said, "If we can't find the general manager, it will matter no matter how many kingdoms we destroy."
Yue Buqun said with a gloomy look on his face: "It must be that those indigenous aliens are not careful enough, otherwise how could they not have any clues at all? Wait until I force those kings!"
A fleet loaded with tens of millions of taels of silver, countless jewels, jades, and spices arrived in the capital.
Above the court, a group of civil and military officials looked at Jiao Yuan. The officials sent back by Yu Dayou and others reported to the emperor how they searched for Chu Yi. When these officials heard that Yu Dayou and others were searching for Chu Yi in the Western Land,
When he actually wiped out more than a dozen countries and confiscated tens of millions of taels of wealth, everyone's eyes almost dropped.
