The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Because Ryukyu is located overseas and has not established a province here, and the imperial court has been weak in the southeast coast over the years, and except for the opening of the Guangzhou City Shipping Department, other places have implemented a policy of banning seas, so there is no control over Ryukyu. Now Ryukyu It was occupied by the Dutch, because the Dutch were only doing business and did not come to harass the inland, so the imperial court turned a blind eye to the Dutch occupation of Ryukyu Island. This is only because the court has not had the power to drive the Dutch out of Ryukyu before.

Now that Wang You came to ask for Ryukyu as a fiefdom for his uncle, Ji Heng sneered in his heart, thinking that a pirate would also want to be a marquis after surrendering. Soldiers and horses can all ask for the title of Marquis.

If this is the case, how can the court deter the people so that they will not become thieves or bandits.

Besides, Ryukyu will naturally be returned to the imperial court in the future, and it is determined not to let the Dutch people continue to be arrogant.

Ji Heng didn't answer Wang You for a while, and Wang You continued, "Since the founding of Dayong, there has been no jurisdiction over Ryukyu, and now Ryukyu is in the hands of the Dutch. This island is of no use to the imperial court. If you want to govern, you feel that you are incapable of governing overseas. If you don’t govern, you just let the Dutch people be arrogant. Uncle is willing to surrender to the imperial court, capture Ryukyu Island, and then submit to the imperial court and pay tribute every year. It is also a good thing for the imperial court. .”

If other ministers heard Wang You's words, they would naturally agree in their hearts, but Ji Heng believed that Liuqiu would naturally return to the embrace of the imperial court in the near future, and there was no need for Wang Qi to attack. The imperial court would naturally send troops to solve this problem, and Wang Qi If you want Ryukyu, don’t you want to be the Emperor of the Earth in the future? Besides, his move is completely to buy more time for himself, to paralyze the court first, and when he goes to attack Ryukyu, the court will not take the opportunity to attack him. When he grows stronger, I am afraid he will turn to attack the interior again.

Ji Heng said to Wang You, "I am also a subject, I can't decide this matter, I need to ask the emperor for instructions."

Wang You thought that Ji Heng's heart was moved, so he relaxed his mood. Although he was still kneeling on the ground, his legs were almost numb, so he said to Ji Heng, "In this way, I will help Mr. Taiwan."

He also said, "Caomin has one more matter, which needs to be discussed in detail with adults." Then he stood up by himself, and walked to one side of the chair to sit down.

Ji Heng looked at him sideways, then got up, and walked to the door to ask someone to bring tea in.

Wang You looked at Ji Heng's tall and slender figure, like a green pine, proud and strong, but also weak and coquettish, contradictory and provocative, he couldn't help but think that the emperor is a good fortune.

Ji Heng didn't know what he was thinking about, he just walked slowly in the study a few more steps, waited for the servant to bring in the tea, Wang You slowly drank the tea from the cup, and said to Ji Heng, "Uncle knows what happened last time. The Japanese Da Nei Jinglong robbed dozens of people from Jijia Village. Jijia Village is the ancestral home of the adults, and the people who were robbed were considered to be members of the adults. Therefore, in order to show sincerity, the uncle exchanged the adults from Da Nei Jinglong. Come back now. I hope that your lord can speak kindly in front of the emperor, forgive my uncle's previous mistakes, and understand his sincerity in surrender. My uncle will definitely send all of your clan back to Jijia Village intact."

Ji Heng smiled at him at this moment, and said, "I don't know where my people are now?"

Wang Youdao, "This is arranged by my uncle, but the grassroots don't know about it. But it must be provided with good clothes and food, and I will definitely not let the adults be wronged."

Ji Heng said, "I will write a letter to the emperor as soon as possible. Wang Qi's surrender is a blessing to Dayong and the court. You also go back and tell your uncle that I will keep in mind that he saved my people."

Ji Heng asked someone to send Wang You out. After Wang You left, he came in holding the piano and asked Ji Heng, "My lord, don't you send someone to follow him?"

Ji Heng shook his head, "No need to follow."

Bian Wu didn't know Wang You's identity, seeing Ji Heng received him, he couldn't help being curious, but he knew that he was asking about everything around Ji Heng, and he was going to make Ji Heng very unhappy, so he didn't ask.

Ji Heng really wrote down what Wang You said in a memorial to the emperor, but the memorial was naturally not as good as what Wang You thought, it was a good word to help.

Ji Heng first talked about Wang You's request, and then wrote about the importance of Ryukyu as an outer island of Dayong from several aspects. Wang Qi's request is naturally not satisfied, but this does not prevent the court from making a gesture first, expressing that it must think carefully, Ji Heng asked the court to delay the matter, and he will organize the navy to prepare to deal with Wang Qi On.

At the end of March, Wang You visited Ji Heng again.

Ji Heng welcomed his arrival, this time he did not embarrass Wang You as much as the first time, and even specially entertained him in the garden.

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the green trees in the garden were flourishing. Ji Heng was dressed in casual clothes, a moon-white Confucian shirt, and a purple gold crown on his head.

Wang You came here alone this time. When he was led into the garden, Ji Heng was standing beside the Xifu crabapple tree in full bloom, looking up at the flowers with his head slightly up, and several bees were flying around him. Also feel nothing.

Wang You is fascinated by his demeanor, but he also knows that he is definitely not a vase pedophile. In the southeastern provinces, most of the military power is actually in his hands. Not only is he a powerful faction, but he also uses thunder. Now In the southeast area, who refuses to accept him.

Wang You stepped forward and bowed in salute, "Cao Min Wang You pays homage to Lord Futai."

Only then did Ji Heng look back at him, and said with a smile, "The crabapple flowers in this garden bloomed late this year, and they are still blooming so well now."

Wang You echoed, "This flower really blooms well."

Ji Heng turned around and went to one side of the pavilion, and he quickly followed.

Sitting down in the pavilion, Ji Heng personally poured tea for Wang You, Wang You was overwhelmed, and then started talking, Ji Heng said, "Wang Qi wants to surrender to the court, I have already written a memorial to the emperor, just this The matter is no small matter, and I am afraid that it will take a while for the court to come to fruition. I have also discussed it with Governor Wang, and Wang does not approve of it."

Wang You got up and said very respectfully, "Everything depends on the adults."

Ji Heng said, "Don't say that Wang Qi's surrender is indeed beneficial to the people of the court, just say that it is out of selfishness, my people are in your hands, and I will do my best. But, I did try my best, I don't know Can you express something too?"

Wang You was stunned by Ji Heng's words, thinking that Ji Heng was asking for bribes openly, and that if he wanted to ask Ji Heng for help, he should give a gift, but Wang You had checked clearly, Ji Heng never accepted anything, so he He didn't dare to bring things over here. Hearing what Ji Heng said, he said, "It's true that the grassroots are rude, and they will send a gift to the mansion in two days."

Ji Heng frowned, stared at him and said, "What do you mean by that? I don't mean to want your property, otherwise, if the officials join me in accepting bribes, it will be enough to ruin my reputation."

Since Wang You was sent by Wang Qi to approach Ji Heng, he was naturally not stupid, so he immediately realized, and said, "My lord, you want my uncle to be sent back to the Ji clan first? However, my lord also knows that Uncle Caomin I have always been suspicious, even if the grassroots go back to persuade, my uncle may not listen."

Ji Heng sneered, and said, "It would be a waste of time for me to do things like this."

Wang You had no choice but to say, "It's just that grassroots people can't decide on this matter."

Ji Heng said quickly, "I know Wang Qi is an old fox, but I don't want him to release all my clansmen back. I just need to release all the female family members first. The female family members have been robbed and their reputation has been destroyed. If it takes a long time In the Den of Thieves, I'm afraid they won't want to live. The female family members are of no use to you, so what if you put them back first."

Wang You laughed dryly, and then had no choice but to agree to go back and discuss with Wang Qi, and then give Ji Heng an answer.

Since there are no Japanese pirates looting on the southeast coast recently, Zhao Zhili has a little leisure time.

He also has a natural love for firearms, so he volunteered in front of Ji Heng and often inspected the firearms factory for him. Whenever new firearms were produced, he would take some of them to equip his own army.

The manufacture of artillery is much slower than that of firecrackers, but so far dozens of Franco cannons have been imitated, and the construction of warships is also very fast. Ships and artillery, so even if there are small groups of pirates these days, they are often defeated by the navy without landing, because the emperor ordered that every pirate should be wiped out, otherwise it is not a good news, because of this fierce force, it will be deterred There are many small pirates in the southeast area.

Ji Heng went down to Taizhou for inspection in April, and was escorted by Fu Yang with two hundred Phoenix Feather Guards, and Jiang Shize received him.

The fact that Wang Qi wants to surrender to the imperial court is now known to everyone. In the study of Jiang Size's General Army Mansion, Jiang Size said to Ji Heng, "Wang Qi is a treacherous man. I don't believe this surrender."

Jiang Shize is in his forties, with a dark face, but he is energetic and powerful. Although he is a Jinshi in liberal arts, he is also a master of martial arts.

Because he has always advocated increasing the investment of the navy, training the navy, adding warship artillery, ensuring maritime patrols, and resisting Japanese pirates in the ocean. In this regard, he agrees with Ji Heng's views, so the two Therefore, there is a sense of sympathy.

Although Ji Heng is only young, the two of them have never known each other.

Ji Heng said, "Master Jiang doesn't believe it, and I don't believe it either. Now that Ryukyu Island is occupied by the Dutch, Wang Qi wants to capture Ryukyu Island as his base camp, but he is afraid that the imperial court will attack when he captures Ryukyu Island." He, so he has to surrender to the imperial court first, and after the capture of Ryukyu Island, he will develop his power for a while, who knows if he will immediately defect and continue to harass the inland."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Shize said, "Then why is your lord still speaking for Wang Qi at the court?"

Ji Heng said, "Since he Wang Qi wants to paralyze the court to buy time, we just need time to train the navy to prepare warships, don't we?"

Having said that, he looked at Jiang Shize earnestly and said, "Master Jiang, I don't know how your sailor training is going."

Jiang Shize said, "The time is short, so I don't dare to say that I am a master of tigers and wolves. However, if I meet Wang Qi and Xu Tiehu again, I will dare to fight."

Hearing what Jiang Shize said, Ji Heng knew that he hadn't fully practiced yet, so he said, "I'm just waiting for the day when Master Jiang's navy becomes the master of tigers and wolves. The court used the discussion as an excuse to delay the time. We We must also be prepared to go straight to Wang Qi's lair."

Jiang Shize said at this time, "It is indeed good to capture Wang Qizhi's lair. However, wouldn't it be better if the imperial court agreed to Wang Qizhi's request and attacked him by surprise when he captured Ryukyu Island?"

Ji Heng sighed lightly, "The imperial court is not a bandit, so it cannot be dishonest, otherwise how will we win the trust of the people in the future."
