Domineering Daming

Cao Bianjiao has always existed like a shadow behind Zhu Xu. He has been in charge of the Forbidden Army for many years. He instinctively felt that Zhu Xu's arrangement had another purpose.

Zhu Xu looked at him and said with a smile: "What about you, you have been with me in the palace for many years, and your uncle also talked to me, thinking that you can practice outside, and there is nothing good to come by my side. If you want to go, now is almost the time.”

Cao Bianjiao's always stable heart was full of turmoil. As a general, who doesn't want to be able to make contributions in the battlefield, become a generation of famous generals, the god of war, who can command the imperial army, and follow the emperor, that is also a great honor. He has a struggle in his heart.

Knowing this, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't have any regrets. When I want to go to Beijing, I can see you in the palace. You don't need to be notified, just come directly."

Cao Bianjiao's expression was fixed, he knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "I would like to listen to the emperor's arrangement, and I am willing to fight to the death for the emperor and Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xu shook his head and laughed, and said, "Get up, it's not that serious, I have a big responsibility for you."

Cao Bianjiao stood up and looked straight at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu sat there, looked at him, and said slowly: "I intend to hand over the United Navy to you. In addition to me, Ming Dynasty, there are also small neighboring countries and people from Xiyi in this United Navy. Let this navy suppress pirates around our Ming Dynasty. First: To control the foreign trade of our vassal states, without my permission, they cannot trade with Xiyi, and they need my permission to go out to sea for trade! Second, To become the main force to protect our country's caravan, not only around our Daming, but also actively go out, conduct investigations in various places, observe the environment around our Daming, record sea charts, sea routes, establish relationships with various places along the road, and even strongholds, for Some uninhabited islands and lands must be included in our Ming Dynasty! Third, we must take advantage of the joint navy and actively investigate the situation of Xiyi, and we must calmly find out their national conditions and sphere of influence. Fourth , actively preparing for war, launching wars forever, and accumulating experience in naval warfare..."

Cao Bianjiao has also followed Zhu Xu for a long time, and soon heard something different from his words. This United Navy is clearly a "forward", the main force of the forward in a predictable battle!

His eyes suddenly glowed with blazing light, and his heart was ready to move, wishing he could take over the United Navy right now!

Zhu Xu could see Cao Bianjiao's excitement, laughed, pondered for a while, and said: "The general base of the joint army is in Singapore in Malacca, and the other vassal states that joined will set up bases on their land to monitor trade. With Singapore as the base, we are expanding outwards, let me take a good look at what the surrounding area of ​​my Daming looks like, and how big is it!?"

"The minister leads the decree! Never disappoint the emperor's expectations!" Cao Bianjiao knelt down on one knee again, and said in a deep voice.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, still planning in his heart.

Now many places should not be occupied by Europe. The Ming Fleet and Caravan are still very weak and have no concept of colonization. They need to be cultivated slowly. It will be much more convenient to use this combined fleet to act.

Cao Bianjiao has always done things safely, Zhu Xu is not worried, after finishing this matter, he said to Cao Huachun: "Pass the decree to Dorgon, asking him to do things cleanly, he knows what to leave and what not to leave. Speed ​​up for me, within two months, it must be clean and tidy! Inform King Ping and order him to prepare for departure, and pass the decree to the cabinet. The immigrants who are ready can go on the road."

"Follow the order." Cao Huachun said.

Annan is the most ideal place for immigrants in the Ming Dynasty. The land is fertile, close to each other, and the culture is of the same origin. Strategically, it is also a tentacles of the Ming Dynasty extending to the southeast peninsula, which is of great significance!

Zhu Xu stood up, with his hands behind his back, and said: "Wen Tiren is the governor of North Annan, Yang Lin is the governor, and there are five prefectures and twelve counties. South Annan is divided into nine prefectures, and a place is given to the Annan people. Daishan is the governor, and Man Dahai As the governor, Dorgon is the commander-in-chief!"

Cao Huachun was slightly startled, and said, "Your Majesty, are you treating Jurchen too... favorably?"

Zhu Xu smiled brightly, his eyes were deep, and said: "If you don't give benefits, how can you make people work hard... In short, tell Daishan, Dorgon, that Nan'an and Nanzhen are handed over to him. Apart from paying taxes on time, I don't care about the rest." , By the way, order Oboi to come back, let him go to Tainingwei, and keep an eye on Lin Danhan."

Cao Huachun understood, bowed and said, "Observe the order."

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the outside again, and said to himself, "Old Cao is missing."

Spain is the last piece, and as long as an agreement is reached with Spain, he can continue his tour.

Chapter 771

For the United Fleet, according to Zhu Xu's plan, the more warships and soldiers, the better.

But in this situation right now, we can only take it slow, first gather a hundred ships and 6000 people, naturally, Da Ming will take the lead, and the control will be in Da Ming's hands.

The bases of the navy are in Taiwan, Kinmen, and Nanzhili. In this way, two protective nets have been formed with the joint navy. Within this net, Ming's business and trade will be extremely safe!

Zhu Xu drove away Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao and the two sat on chairs, drinking herbal tea, thinking silently.

Annan, within three to five years, it is not a problem to immigrate 300 million people, or even more. Liaodong has already moved more than 300 million people, and it is difficult to accommodate more in a short time. In other words, Daming moved from Shaanxi and other places, three to five The maximum within the year is 800 million.

"800 million..."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and whispered.The six southwestern provinces have a population of about 3000 million, and moving out 800 million will greatly relieve the pressure, and he can breathe a sigh of relief. In another five years or so, Annan and Liaodong are almost digested, and they should be able to accommodate some more.No matter how severe the disaster is, there will be less than 2000 million people in the Southwest, and most of them will go out. Whether it is disaster relief or civil unrest, Zhu Xu will be able to deal with it calmly.

Thoughts were wandering, Zhu Xu thought of the "farms" being implemented in the southwestern provinces for a while, and said involuntarily, "I don't know what their farms look like..."

This "farm" is a concept he proposed. Li Banghua and others agree very much, and they are actively promoting it. They also write notes to Zhu Xu from time to time, thinking that this is the "unique method" to deal with the disaster.

It is naturally best to concentrate our efforts to deal with the disaster, but this kind of "farm" was implemented in the feudal era, and Zhu Xu couldn't predict what the consequences would be, and what the process would look like-even though it was the road map he gave.

Compared with the southwest, the central provinces like Jiang, Xi, He, Nan, and Shanxi are better. Zhu Xu wants to visit Shaanxi more.

Shaanxi should be the worst disaster-stricken place in the Southwest. After reading this, other places can probably know it well, and it will be more helpful for Zhu Xu's next administration.

Because he had to wait for news from Cao Wenzhao, Zhu Xu stayed quietly at the naval base, while processing the notes that were constantly being sent over, he also quietly reflected on a series of his past policies and deliberated on the gains and losses.

After a big battle, the navy has gained a lot of experience. Tang Wang, Xiong Wencan and others are studying and practicing, and the sound of artillery fire can be heard from time to time outside the base.

The Ming Dynasty flattened Annan in less than ten days, which caused a huge shock in the southeast peninsula. In addition to the previous performance of martial arts, there was still a fluke. Those vassal states and envoys who ignored Ming Dynasty sent out A higher-level envoy group came to Fujian with generous tributes to ask to see His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu didn't bother to pay attention to it. This group of people is now a shock.

Xiong Wencan took a lot of anger last time, but this time he put on airs, which made all the envoys feel uneasy.

Daming pushed Annan horizontally in ten days, will they be next?Especially Burma is the most nervous. They are now in chaos and weak. It has not been long since the decades of war with Ming Dynasty. If Da Ming turns around and retaliates, the military power displayed by Da Ming is enough to easily defeat them!

The thick gift list, as well as the conditions such as tribute, are much higher than before.

Xiong Wencan knew that Daming had an absolute advantage, and he understood the principle of exorbitant prices. Coupled with Zhu Xu's advice from behind, these envoys were taken aback by just one word!

Daming wanted to restart the "Eight Great Propaganda Departments" and sent troops to "reshape legal order", which shocked these envoys a lot. The monarchs of the southeast peninsula had changed countless times. What I care more about is Daming's "sending troops"!

Once the Ming Dynasty sends troops, it is not reshaping the legal system, it is destroying the country!

None of them have the courage to start a war with Daming now, Annan's end is in sight!

After many days of bargaining, negotiations between Nanzhang, Myanmar and Siam finally reached an agreement.

The main contents of the agreement are: [-]: The Three Kingdoms surrendered to Ming Dynasty, paid tribute as scheduled, the king was re-canonized by Ming Dynasty, and the border between the Three Kingdoms and Ming Dynasty was re-inspected.Second, establish a joint navy and a joint army, regularly take turns to train in various countries, and perform tasks requested by the three countries.[-]. Mutual markets. The three countries are on the shore and three cities are open on the sea. Free trade and mutual exchange.Fourth, allow the Three Kingdoms to send students to Daming, and at the same time, Daming will establish an academy in the Three Kingdoms to promote the learning of sages.

It is very simple to generalize, but it involves many hidden intentions of Zhu Xu. For example, the map of Ming Dynasty can now include the three countries and declare it to the outside world; the joint navy and army will have the right to interfere in the internal affairs of various countries; , It will also allow the Ming currency to enter the Three Kingdoms and become a widely recognized currency in circulation in Asia.

These Xiong Wencan or those envoys may not be able to see it, Xiong Wencan is happy that the Three Kingdoms finally bowed their heads, and Ming once again subdued the Three Kingdoms, with the great vanity of the Heavenly Kingdom!

Of course, Xiong Wencan was very happy with the generous tributes from the Three Kingdoms.

Nanzhang's annual tribute is 100 million shi of grain, 80 liang of silver, 5000 liang of gold, and others are not counted.Siam's tribute was 150 million grain, 100 million silver, and 200 gold.For Myanmar, there are 150 million grains, 1 million silver, and [-] taels of gold, excluding others.

In his opinion, it is already a big deal for the Ming Dynasty to gain so much extra money and grain for no reason!

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard it.

If one day, the tribute cannot be delivered, it is indeed a good reason to start a war.

Afterwards, Zhu Xu appointed King Tang as an imperial envoy to redefine the border with the Three Kingdoms. Naturally, the Ming Dynasty will have a large area of ​​territory!

The Three Kingdoms are not without demands. They hope that Ming Dynasty can guarantee that their ruler is "Zhengshuo", and that they can send troops to support them when necessary. They also hope to buy Ming Dynasty firearms.

Zhu Xu was naturally willing to sell arms, and ordered the Three Kingdoms to go to Nanzhili, where there was a specialized firm selling them.

In this way, Bumbutai's International Chamber of Commerce is going to be completed further.
