Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

But Chen Zuyi was an extremely cunning person. Once his father-in-law offered the price, he could not be found.

This guy was found later when Zheng He's fleet sailed to the West.

He had originally planned to feign surrender and then launch a surprise attack.

But everyone was on shore.

When Zheng He went on a diplomatic mission, he brought an entire battalion of firearms with him to promote my country's prestige.

These people who normally couldn't find an opportunity to take action were all very excited when they saw someone seeking his own death.

Half of the pirate army was killed, and Chen Zuyi himself was captured alive by Zheng He.

After being brought back, he was beheaded by his angry father-in-law.

Let’s not talk about Chen Zuyi’s Sanguang massacre.

Zhang Xin thinks this person can still be used for the time being.

This Jingnan Rebellion ended early, and my father-in-law ascended the throne early, so this Chen Zuyi must not have become the king of Bolin State yet.

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to use this pirate who is very familiar with Japan, Greater Ryukyu and Lesser Ryukyu to expand the territory?

You can always kill people legally and reasonably outside.

Li Jinglong has returned.

His ship had entered Ming Dynasty waters some time ago and returned with a tribute delegation from the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The fleet planned to land at Zhigu (Tianjin).

It just so happens that my father-in-law should be arriving in the capital soon.

I don’t know what kind of good news he can bring back.

If Chen Zuyi's 10,000 men could cooperate with Li Jinglong, it is estimated that the entire Malacca waters would be under their control soon.

Ming Dynasty, the third year of Yongle, June.

With the end of the Annan war, Zhu Di had more time to care about national affairs even while on the road.

One imperial edict after another was issued through Zhu Gaochi.

【The emperor ordered Tianjin Wei to station troops at Zhigu. He also set up 1,400 open-air garrisons in Tianjin for storage.】

【Extremely strict inspection of officials: Instruct the Minister of Personnel Jian Yi that from now on, when the censors and the provincial procuratorates inspect the merits and demerits of officials, they must report their achievements and conduct strict inspections, and not just rely on verbal inquiries.】

【Order to cut redundant staff in various departments: For officials in Beijing, extra positions will be sent to other ministries for employment, and for those outside the capital, the government offices under their jurisdiction will be strictly evaluated. Seventy of the second and third-class Jinshi selected this year will be retained and assigned to various departments to observe politics. For vacancies in professors and tutors in the royal palaces, the third-class Jinshi will be selected, and the rest will all be sent back to study.】

[Move Shanxi people to Beijing: Order to move 10,000 households of Shanxi Taiyuan, Pingyang, Zezhou, Luzhou, Qinzhou, and Fenzhou people to Beijing.]

【Communication with Yu Chu Si and Chu Wei: Now the censor impeached Song Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Gansu, for usurping power, which I am not happy about. If you appoint people who are not comfortable, you will not succeed. Moreover, ministers are ordered to guard the frontier, how can they be bound by grammar?】

【Revised the ratio of garrison soldiers: according to the location of the place, the number of garrison soldiers should be determined. In a place that is close to the border and is dangerous, there are more garrisons than garrisons; in a place that is inland and is remote, there are more garrisons than garrisons; in a place that is dangerous but difficult to transport, there are more garrisons than garrisons.】

【edict--】

"Why does Zhigu need to build so many open-air warehouses? Isn't it free?"

Zhang Xin was not surprised to see the long imperial edict, but was shocked by the number of open-air warehouses in the first one.

"Because Zhigu is a key point for merchant ships, the only way to get there is by sea is to get there, and then use small boats to get to the capital."

Zhu Gaochi had just left court.

He came back with a pile of memorials, and answered Zhang Xin while marking them.

"Cousin Jinglong brought back a lot of things?"

Zhang Xin understood.

There is no time to repair the warehouse first, so we have to set up a temporary storage point.

"Not only that, my eldest cousin brought the King of Shannan, who had never paid tribute before. Representatives of the 36 clans of Fujian people who migrated there in the 25th year of Hongwu are also here."

Zhu Gaochi expressed his joy!

"Wow, so he found a silver mine?"

Zhang Xin felt that whatever was not mentioned in the letter would definitely be done.

Only when it is accomplished should you report directly to your father-in-law.

"I guess it's about the same. Although the form says that we are going to Japan with your caravan, my cousin also received a salary from the court."

Zhu Gaochi explained to Zhang Xin.

The caravan belonged to Zhang Xin, but in the end the money went into his father's pocket, and he was afraid that Zhang Xin would be depressed.

"It's okay, it's fine. Father-in-law can use it if he wants, but I can use some money!"

Zhang Xin is looking forward to it!

Isn't the reason she wants to make money because the Ming Dynasty is short of money?

Having died once, I know all too well that money is the thing that you cannot bring with you when you are born and cannot take with you when you die.

For her personally, having enough food and drink is enough.

New clothes, new jewelry, and other jewels, once you put them on, you feel like you have to walk more carefully.

Don't let your clothes get caught or your jewelry lose beads or anything like that.

Feeling very restrained.

Xu is just like her, doing whatever makes her feel comfortable.

Now that she doesn't have to go out, she wanders around the palace every day in her faded clothes, feeling very comfortable.

"My wife is so generous!"

Zhu Gaochi praised angrily.

"Is there any news about the man named Chen that the people in East Zhejiang mentioned?"

Li Jinglong returned and went straight to the capital. Zhang Xin no longer needed to worry about him. Her mother-in-law could take care of the rest.

The group of pirates from eastern Zhejiang that Zhu Gaochi met a while ago did mention Chen Zuyi to him.

Zhu Gaochi told her about it when he came back, and the couple thought alike again.

It would be best if we could use this guy.

"It should be in Malacca. When my father arrives in the capital, Zheng He's second diplomatic mission will be scheduled. Then let Zheng He go over there for a stroll."

There was news, but it was news that had been passed around several times, and Zhu Gaochi didn't know whether it was true or not.

It would be a bit of an overkill to go there specifically to verify it, so it would be just right for Zheng He to go.

"Oh, that's right. Is there enough money in the treasury?"

Before Xu left, she gave the inner treasury to Zhang Xin, fearing that it would be needed in case of emergency. Zhang Xin had never used it. If Zheng He went to sea, the treasury would probably be emptied for a while.

"No need. The ships are still the ones that Prince Ning had. The shipping company only made a bigger one, and that's all. Zheng He is not going there to sell anything."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

"It doesn't hurt to do it while we're at it. Otherwise, such a big ship would be wasted."

Zhang Xin felt secretly sorry.

The ships that went out in the name of the imperial court were large and spacious. A fleet was dozens or hundreds of times larger than an ordinary merchant caravan, but due to the sake of face, the transactions were very restrained.

"There are always some matters of face that cannot be mixed together."

It's a pity for Zhu Gaochi, but it's understandable.

"Alright. I just have one complaint. What are Dad's ideas for the following two points? Inspecting officials and cutting redundant staff."

Zhang Xin felt that it looked like the work of her mother-in-law.

"See through it, don't say it."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he sent a group of imperial censors to inspect various parts of the country.

The main purpose is to see whether officials from various places are needed and whether they are suitable for that position.

As a result, when these censors arrived at the local area, they did not conduct open or secret investigations, but went directly to the government office and recruited local scholars, common people, runners, and people from the government office to inquire whether the local official was competent.

This is just hilarious!!!
