Early the next morning, before Zhu Xu went to the cabinet, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong came together and blocked Zhu Xu in the imperial study.
Zhu Xu was drinking porridge and looked at the two of them with some surprise.
It was the first time that these two had come so early in the morning.
He put down the spoon and subconsciously said, "What's wrong?"
” Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu's porridge, he was very anxious, but his mouth was quite gentle, and said: "Your Majesty, Gansu, Sichuan, and Shaanxi have sent urgent reports at the same time, and major earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above have occurred in the three provinces, and the aftershocks are continuous, and the losses are difficult to estimate.
In addition, Qin Tianjian is monitoring that the ground in the south of Beizhili has been unstable recently, which seems to be a precursor to an earthquake. ” Zhu Xu frowned, wiped his mouth with a towel, and his expression was slightly condensed.
He remembered that there were also many earthquake zones in the north, and there seemed to have been many earthquakes in history.
There seems to be no good way to solve the earthquake except to prepare in advance and evacuate.
But how accurate is this prediction?
The time, the place, the scope, it's hard to say, and there's no evidence to convince anyone.
"What is the Cabinet going to do?"
Zhu Xu thought for a moment and looked at Bi Ziyandao.
Bi Ziyan was also aware of the uncertainty of this prediction, and even more aware of the terrible destructiveness of the earthquake, and raised his hand solemnly and said: "The minister intends to order all localities to prepare as early as possible to reduce losses as much as possible. ” Bi Ziyan's simple sentence conceals the incalculable gravity behind this plan.
Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "Don't say too much, let Qin Tianjian keep it strictly secret."
In this way, taking advantage of the earthquake in the land of Shaanxi, I made a pamphlet and asked people from all over the country to go to each house and explain how to avoid the earthquake, and be careful not to mention the possibility of an earthquake in Beizhili......"
Bi Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The minister understands." ” If you tell everyone that there may be an earthquake in Beizhili, I am afraid that it will be a big chaos, and the imperial court will not be spared.
Holding down this matter, Zhu Xu said again, "The earthquake in the land of Shaanxi, let Fu Ge Lao take a trip, do a good job of the aftermath, and appease ......
What else?
” Bi Ziyan came for this matter, listening to Zhu Xu's words, he pondered and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Tianjin Wei have reported that there are more than 1,800 ships going to sea this year, with more than 5,000 people, and the number continues to expand, and the minister intends to do something to control this......
For the 'sea ban', sometimes there are not so many complicated excuses and reasons, that is, overseas is not within the power of the imperial court, and the eyes are black, since this is the case, then it will be banned, and it will be a hundred.
Bi Ziyan's worries are basically the same.
The examination and approval power of maritime trade, that is, the right to ship to sea, is in the hands of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, which is divided into two parts: politics and commerce, and a part of the "government" is in the capital, and Gong Yonggu is the main affair and is subordinate to the cabinet.
Part of the 'Shang' is mainly involved in shipping, maritime trade, foreign trade, etc., and the location is in Shenlong Mansion, which is in charge of the Guogong Zhang Guoji, and in fact the power is in the hands of Bumu Butai.
Although Bu Mu Butai has no name, everyone knows that the three princes in the palace are from her, and the Shenlong Mansion is ostensibly in charge of Bu Mu Butai, and the real person behind it is Zhu Xu.
Therefore, Bi Ziyan did not act without permission, and came to ask for instructions.
Zhu Xu listened, picked up the porridge again, and ate it slowly.
The sea ban has actually been lifted, and the people along the coast are going out to sea for fishing, shipping, and trade.
When Bi Ziyan speaks of ships, he refers to 'ocean-going ships' that go to Ryukyu, Annam, Luzon, the Old Port, and even beyond.
These ships are all approved by the Shenlong Mansion, and they can be equipped with weapons, including firearms, according to the situation, and many of the crew members on them are retired soldiers, 5,000 people, which is already a large scale.
Zhu Xu could understand Bi Ziyan's worries, and he didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Well, I will consider this matter, Bumu Butai will enter Beijing in June, and I will listen to what she has to say." ” Seeing this, Bi Ziyan did not speak again.
He wanted to mention the matter of Jiangxi, but King Jing had already left Beijing, so he didn't say more.
Zhu Xu looked at it, then looked at Sun Chengzong, and said, "Old Sun Ge?
” Sun Chengzong raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, something has happened in the southeast."
The military intelligence department flew pigeons to pass the book, Siam suddenly sent troops, broke through Nanzhang and other countries, annexed a lot of places, the army went straight to Annam, Dolgon has urgently sent a book, although the book is on the way, but it means that he hopes to get full authority to deal with the invasion that may occur at any time.
In addition, the situation in Myanmar is also changing abruptly, and the situation of division has changed dramatically, and it seems that reunification is not far away.
In this way, there will be only three forces left in the southeast peninsula, I Daming, Siam, Burma, the situation is not optimistic, the war between Myanmar and Daming has not ended, and the border is still not calm......"
Zhu Xu thought it was a matter of the Wa Kingdom, but he didn't expect that it was actually the Southeast Peninsula.
This change surprised him a little.
I thought that the surroundings were stable and I could concentrate on internal affairs, but there were moths in the southeast peninsula.
Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu's expression, and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have made a deduction, although Siam annexed Nanzhang and other countries, but they are unable to continue to expand in a short period of time, they are full of domestic contradictions, and there is a possibility of falling apart."
Although Burma has a tendency to accelerate reunification, natural disasters are continuous, and the forces are complex, and the minister expects that within ten years, they will not be able to invade the outside world. ” Zhu Xu's fingers tapped slowly on the tabletop, then raised his eyebrows, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "There is no need to worry about anything.
Dolgon......
I had intended to make him more steady, but now I was going to make a move. ” Sun Chengzong knew that this Dolgon was a knife that Zhu Xu had buried in the southeast peninsula a long time ago, and now that there was an accident in the southeast, it was time to take it out.
"Dolgon has not stopped in the past few years, in addition to the Jurchen 20,000 cavalry, there are other miscellaneous soldiers, a total of more than 50,000 people, the land in Nan Annan is fertile, densely populated, I am afraid that there are still a lot of people, money and food."
Sun Chengzong directly broke the way.

Zhu Xu nodded, no surprise, and said with a smile: "Didn't he want full power?"
Give it to him!
The quality of the cannons he had cast privately was too poor, so he gave him another fifty cannons and gunpowder, and some of the more powerful.
This wolf has been raised for so long, it's time to look at his fangs. ” Sun Chengzong is exactly what he meant, it is naturally best not to affect the country and contain potential threats, and he said, "Yes, the minister will arrange it."
In addition, the Japanese delegation asked to leave Beijing today, and they wanted to take Tokugawa Akihide, Tanaka Ichiro and others with them. ” Zhu Xu put down the porridge in his hand and said, "Give them all, it's useless for me to keep them."
Didn't Tokugawa Iemitsu want to keep his eyes open?
I gave him this time, how is the preparation on the island of Kyukoku?
” Sun Chengzong said, "The minister has ordered the Satsuma Domain to send a lot of firearms to the original city, and Kayama Hidaka has quietly sent the two thousand people they trained in, so it should be worry-free."
Zuo Liangyu is still constantly recruiting samurai from all over the country and expanding the army, and it should not be a problem to expand to 20,000 or 30,000 people in three or five years......"
"Okay, as long as Tokugawa Iemitsu admits instigation, the Kanmon Strait will be returned to him, and the construction on the Tsushima side will be the main focus, so don't station many troops first.
First press the contradictions on Jiuguo Island, let's accompany them and wait for ......," Zhu Xu said.
Sun Chengzong said: "Yes."
Nachen asked the Japanese delegation to go back and authorized Cao Bianjiao to conduct final negotiations with the Japanese on Tsushima Island, and once they confirmed the signing, they would report to the emperor as soon as possible. ” Zhu Xu said 'um' and said: "The pace of the cabinet's 'new policy' must be accelerated, and the 'military reform' of the marshal's mansion must continue to deepen, now is a rare peaceful time, we concentrate our energy and go all out to deal with internal affairs, and we can no longer be distracted......
"Yes!"
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong raised their hands together.
Zhu Xu's statement made them happy.
Whether it is Sun Chengzong or Bi Ziyan, they have always wanted to focus on internal affairs, but Zhu Xu has been sweeping away external threats in a planned way, and after nine years, now the surrounding threats are basically swept away, and he can concentrate on internal affairs.
Soon after, Tadashi Aoyama, Nobutsuna Matsudaira and others left the capital, which was still prosperous in the face of the disaster, and the two were expressionless and full of worries.
Sitting in the carriage, feeling the flatness of the ground, Tadashi Aoyama, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke, "Izu Mamoru, you say, what does the public want to do?"
” Matsudaira Nobutsuna was stunned, this was not obvious, and he looked at Tadashi Aoyama for some unknown reasons.
This time the Ming Dynasty stuck its neck at the right time, so that the Tokugawa family could not go up and down, so they could only humiliate and sue for peace.
But immediately, Matsudaira Nobutsuna realized something and said, "Zhongjun Palace, you mean that the public side has other purposes?"
” Tadashi Aoyama nodded silently and didn't say anything more.
Tokugawa Iemitsu is different from his father, and even more different from his grandfather, Tokugawa Ieyasu, this person does not have the slightest legacy of the Sengoku period, and his ability, means, and character are impeccable.
He was merciless to the daimyo in various places, and with the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate, he was constantly reforming the Wa Kingdom, the most important of which was to weaken the local area, and the strong shogunate was already very effective, and in the Wa Kingdom, although the various feudal clans complained about the shogunate, no one had the ability to rebel.
How could such a person bow his head so easily?
Matsudaira Nobutsuna was shocked in his heart, although he did not have a clear understanding of the military situation of the Ming Dynasty, but the scale of 7,000 people was definitely not all of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Wa Kingdom was an island country, and it could not be fortified everywhere.
"Navy?"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna muttered to himself.
But he didn't think it was right, Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Tokugawa Iemitsu had known each other for decades, and he didn't think Tokugawa Iemitsu was the kind of ambitious person with the ambition of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
'What's that?'
Matsudaira Nobutsuna was puzzled and planned to go back to Tokugawa Iemitsu to have a good discussion.
The Wa Kingdom is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, the surface is not alarmed, and no one can see the situation inside.
Even Jiuguo Island and the Guanmen Strait are silent, quiet and terrifying.
