At the end of October, a northwest wind blew on the sea, and a sea boat, waddling to the mouth of the Yangtze River, was about to dock in Shanghai.On the sea ship Wangdou, a sailor saw a Ming Dynasty warship coming through the waves, and shouted excitedly: "Long envoy, it's the official ship of the Ming Dynasty!"
”On the deck, a man in a strange costume appeared on the deck when he heard the words, looked at the sailing ship, and said, "It's the ship of the Daming Maritime Inspection Division." ”In order to avoid the Spanish and Dutch merchant ships in the South Pacific, this sea ship came from Dongzhou, and ventured through the North Pacific, first reaching Japan, and then sailing to Shanghai by taking advantage of the monsoon.When they set off, there were originally three sea boats, loaded with gold, but because they didn't know much about the waters, one ran aground and gave up, one ran aground, and finally only one successfully returned to Daming.A few years ago, Zhao Ming asked Zhang Yida to lead a fleet to Dongzhou, and then exiled some political prisoners who disagreed with him politically, and went to the east coast of Dongzhou, making the Han people in Dongzhou gradually reach nearly 10,000.However, due to difficult conditions, disease, and battles with the natives, as well as the Spaniards to the south, nearly half of the population has been lost.More than two years ago, Zhang Yida found gold near a bay on the west coast according to Zhao Ming's prompt and mined it, but this move did not change Zhang Yida's situation, but led to a fatal disaster.In Dongzhou, the indigenous people were still in the era of primitive tribes, and materials were extremely scarce, and after Zhang Yida and others mined gold mines, it was difficult to exchange gold for materials, so they could only trade with the Spaniards who occupied Moxi Ge in the south.Unexpectedly, this attracted the prying eyes of the Spaniards, who united with the indigenous tribes to attack Zhang Yida, causing Zhang Yida to suffer heavy losses.In the face of the attack of the Spaniards, Zhang Yida, with the help of Zhang Huangyan, Ruan Jin and others, trained the army on the one hand, and united the indigenous tribes who had enmity with the Spaniards to resist the Spanish attack, but after all, the strength was huge, and the Spaniards took away the gold mines and drove them to the north and the mountains.But even so, the Spaniards did not intend to let Zhang Yida and others go.Zhao Ming seized the Spanish colony in Luzon in Nanyang, drove the Spaniards out of Nanyang, Zhang Yida and other Ming Dynasty people, landed in Dongzhou, and was immediately regarded as a threat by the Spaniards, who wanted to get rid of it quickly.Faced with the threat of the Spaniards, Zhang Yida could only send three sea ships, loaded with this gold, to Daming for help.At this time, the ship of the Inspection Division saw that the sea ship did not plant the flag of the Ming Dynasty, but carried the exemption flag issued by the Han State a few years ago, and immediately leaned up.After a while, the two ships leaned together, boarded the boat, and the officials of the inspection department led a few soldiers onto the boat, looking at the people wearing clothes with a hint of the Central Plains atmosphere, but not like the things of the Central Plains, they couldn't help but wonder and asked: "Where are you from, why do you still use the previous flag!"
”On the boat, the envoy of Xinchengguo saluted and said: "Yu is the envoy of Xinchengguo of the Dongzhou Domain of the Ming Dynasty, who came from thousands of miles away to pay tribute and ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. ”After the fleet arrived in Japan, everyone was already in Nagasaki, inquiring about some news about the situation in the Ming Dynasty, knowing that the Ming Dynasty would fight a civil war again, so they only said that they would pay tribute, but they did not say which side to pay tribute and ask for help."
Dongzhou Xinguo?"
The inspector couldn't help frowning, turned his head and asked, "Is there this place?"
”The scribe behind him flipped through the booklet and shook his head, but said, "In recent years, many great clans have gone overseas, and they may be a new country. ”Seven or eight years ago, after the discovery of Xinmingzhou in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Ming issued a will to encourage the people to explore the South Seas in order to encourage overseas colonization.The folk gentry, or the merchants, as long as the land developed overseas and the taxes paid reach a certain scale, they can build cities and establish states, but the level of these countries is very low, according to the king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, except for the Han Kingdom and Yanping are kingdoms, the rest are the lowest male countries.In recent years, the commercial development of Jiangnan, the land annexation was serious, and the Ming Dynasty fought frequently, Zhao Ming also focused on dominating the world, but the internal contradictions of the Ming Dynasty were not intense, that is, some of the rich and landless Haoqiang, with a large number of landless people, went to Nanyang, established many cities, and new countries.There are a few such vassals popping up every year, so much so that many governments have not had time to record them.After listening to the words of his subordinates, the inspector immediately opened a document and handed it to the new envoy, and said in a deep voice: "After docking at the dock, take this and report it to the Division." ”Nanjing City, the residence of the regent.Zhao Ming summoned his subordinates and was busy dealing with the aftermath and dispatched troops to launch a counterattack against the Zhou army."
Xuzhou is not far from Nanjing, presumably Wu Sangui has also arranged a detailed work to monitor the situation in Nanjing."
Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Now, Gu has settled Nanjing, and Wu Sangui will get the news soon." ”Chen Mingyu, a scholar, nodded, "Your Highness wants to immediately lead your troops north and go straight to Xuzhou?"
”Zhao Ming shook his head, "If Gu Ruo rushed straight to Xuzhou, Wu Sangui would definitely flee directly when he got the news." ”"Then how is Your Highness going to arrange it?"
Chen Mingyu asked.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "First dispatch a few elites to attack Henan, wait for Wu Sangui to withdraw the army, and then lead the army to cover and kill, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”"If Wu Sangui has self-knowledge and learns that His Royal Highness has pacified Nanjing, he should withdraw his troops immediately.If he still has illusions, once the army is inserted into Henan, Wu Sangui should cry!
”Gu Yanwu smiled.Zhao Ming changed the topic and said: "How is the cabinet going to deal with the matter of resettling the prisoners?"
”More than 200,000 prisoners, if they are not properly handled, Zhao Ming's army will not be able to go north to deal with Wu Sangui with peace of mind.Chen Mingyu said: "After the ministers and others discussed, they felt that the first thing was to disperse and resettle, those who committed less serious crimes could be placed in Liaodong, and those who were heavier could be placed in Nanyang, as for Zhu Linyuan and other clans, they should be exiled to Xinmingzhou." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, Xinmingzhou is already the farthest distance at the moment, and it is expected that these remnants of the Zhu family will not be able to set off any waves.However, tens of thousands of clans are all located in Xinmingzhou, which seems to be a hidden danger.At this time, Gu Yanwu suddenly said: "Your Highness, the minister recently received a report from the Li Fan Yuan, the end of the year is approaching, and overseas vassals have come to pay tribute, among which there is a feudal domain, claiming to be a new city state, from Dongzhou, and has come all the way to pay tribute, and at the same time I want to ask His Royal Highness to send reinforcements to help them resist Xiyi!"
”"Dongzhou, Xinchengguo?"
Zhao Ming frowned slightly, and then raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that he would take root in North America with one idle move.Zhao Ming stroked his beard, feeling that the descendants of the Zhu family, as well as Li Chengdong, had a place to go, and couldn't help but say: "Where is the messenger, Xuan comes to see Lonely!"
