Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Daheng Zhaowu two years on April 28th.

On April 28, the second year of Jingwu, Daming.

When the big day, Emperor Jingwu came to Quanzhou, the news came out that for a while, the anti-Evergrande trend that had been overshadowed by the changes in the northern border war situation, under this news, also suddenly rose like a shining light.

Countless people with lofty ideals rejoiced for it. It seems that the arrival of the bright future will make the situation of anti-constant bright.

In the midst of the jubilation, Emperor Jingwu and all the officials in the capital who had been drifting at sea for several months, after experiencing the joy of the arrival of the imperial car to welcome them, the jubilation dissipated under the news one by one!

In Quanzhou Prefecture, Emperor Jingwu and hundreds of officials gathered together to discuss and formulate rewards, reshape the Ming Dynasty, and bring the rebels of Jiangnan under the imperial court's majestic rule. The changing situation in Xinjiang and the atmosphere in the hall were instantly suppressed to the extreme.

Being isolated from the world at sea for so long, according to the expectations of the courtiers, even if Liaozhen and Shanhaiguan were defeated, the main force of the Mongolian Houjin still had an absolute advantage.

But... after being isolated from the world for several months at sea, and then entering the WTO, it seems that everything has changed!

Mongolia withdrew, Houjin was encircled, and it was almost over!

If it goes on like this, even if they reshape the Chao Gang, it won't be long before the Daheng Iron Cavalry will go south. At that time, who can stop it?

The Southern Song Dynasty has persisted for several generations of monarchs, and their Nanming...

At this moment, the encouragement of the people outside, and the depression of this court, seems to have formed a sharp contrast.

"Li thief usurped the country, and the treasury of the capital is empty. Now that most of Jiangnan has returned to Wanghua, and the water transport has been cut off, it will be difficult to maintain with Li thief's money and food."

"The outcome of this battle is also unknown."

After a moment of silence, in the end, Shi Bangyao stood up and broke the silence.

"Furthermore, no matter how the North is, it will be difficult to influence Jiangnan in a short period of time. The most urgent task is to reshape the dynastic system, establish the legal system, and declare it to the world, so as to reassure the hearts of the people and the military!"

As soon as this statement came out, the ministers immediately understood that those who can stand here are naturally those who are loyal to Daming. Otherwise, whether it is Nanjing or Beijing, they are now under the control of Daheng, and Daheng is not harsh. These former Ming and old ministers, why should they take the risk of dying and be involved in this turmoil?

What does Shi Bangyao mean? They are naturally Qingmen.

In Jiangnan today, although it looks like the masters of the king are everywhere, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called masters of kings are everywhere, and it is not a group of heroes.

If you don't quickly gather power and revive the majesty of the dynasty, the Ming dynasty will probably only have a false name and become a plaything in the hands of the ambitious.

The ministers remonstrated and negotiated, and this was the first time the Ming Dynasty court showed its unique efficiency at this time of crisis.

Rewards and honors, consolidating military power, and training the Beijing army were all decisions made very quickly.

At this time, the young Emperor Jingwu obviously still had no right to speak. Just like when he was in the capital, he advised, allowed, and decreed...

Perhaps the only difference is that now, the Queen Mother Zhou, who used to be under the curtain, is already living in the backyard and is restricted by the ministers who still have lingering fears.

The young Emperor Jingwu sat high on the dragon chair and put on the dragon robe again, but his fate still seemed to be out of his own control.

This seems to be the Ming Dynasty reborn from ashes, and the future seems to be still unknown...

…

"If the troubles of the sea and the border are not eradicated, the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River will never be eradicated!"

Above the sea, the warships were swaying, and Li Dingguo was on the deck of the warship, overlooking the scene of the warships in Quanzhou Port. Such an idea came to mind once again.

In the past, his impression of the situation in Jiangnan's sea and border was still at the time of Denglai, thinking that maybe when he arrived, he would be able to capture and pacify the sea and border.

But when he arrived in Jiangnan, he understood why His Majesty attached so much importance to Jiangnan and the situation of the sea.

Who can imagine that a sea merchant, a pirate, and a warship sitting on a warship can be compared to a navy in the imperial court.

Who would have imagined that a large-scale ocean-going trade by a caravan would make a profit equal to, or even far greater than, the gold and silver income that was taxed in the Ming Dynasty!

Why is it so difficult to end the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River?

The reason is ultimately the word money and food!

Daheng is short of money and food, and has only a small amount of money and food, and has to provide for the war in the northern Xinjiang. In Jiangnan, he has to attack on a small scale and defend on a large scale.

And the rebels, entrenched in the sea and borders, in the turbulent times, without any restrictions in the past, the daily tax revenue of Quanzhou Port is an astronomical figure, and there is no shortage of money and food!

And the sea pirates, in this sea frontier, are almost intertwined and deeply rooted!

There are countless islands and reefs along the coast, almost all have the footholds of sea merchants and pirates, and even navy bases!

Once the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty still existed, and under the influence of various interests, the Jiangnan Navy could still use the power of a division to deter the coastal merchants and pirates, but now, the legal principles have changed, and everything that once bound these coastal merchants and pirates is gone. exist.

The entire coastal and sea frontiers can be described as a real dance of demons!

He is in command of the Jiangnan Navy, and every time he fights, it's like traveling through a big net. If he hadn't recruited some sea merchants to help him, and kept in touch with some sea bandits, otherwise, in this coastal waters, his team Sailor, I am afraid it is impossible to move.

Of course, the most fundamental problem is that there is still no money. If you have money, just like in Denglai, the warships are like dumplings, and then the warships are controlled by elite soldiers.

All kinds of thoughts circulated in Li Dingguo's mind, and in the end he could only sigh.

The navy's strength is not enough, everything is false!

Just like now, when King Shou and all the traitors arrived in Quanzhou, he got the news relatively late, but if the navy master was strong, even if he was outside Quanzhou Port, he could be surrounded and destroyed.

Where is it like now, I can only watch it, and I can't even get close.

"When will the Denglai Navy arrive?"

After a long silence, Li Dingguo suddenly asked.

"If the journey is smooth, it will take at least half a month."

Ministry will speak out immediately.

"Um…"

Li Dingguo nodded, his eyes flickered, and then said: "The order goes on, each battalion repairs the warships as soon as possible, and prepares for the war. When the Denglai Navy arrives, together with the strength of the two armies, let's fight again!"

Hearing this order, the general was stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly said: "General, Your Majesty's order, Denglai Navy came to Jiangnan, is responsible for transporting food and grass, and now there is a shortage of food and grass in northern Xinjiang..."

"It's not too late to transfer after a battle!"

Li Dingguo shook his head:

"This battle must be fought!"

"Quanzhou Port is a big commercial and trade port. Ningbo Port is not much worse than Quanzhou Port. Why can't it also become a big commercial and trade port!"

"I asked the stewards of the bank, and they calculated that if Ningbo Port returns to its previous state and taxes are collected normally, it will earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every month!"

"If we can go further, the monthly income of several hundred thousand taels of silver will not be a problem."

"If you don't fight this battle, there will be no peace along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Ningbo Port will always be half-dead..."

Hearing this explanation, the subordinates did not say any more, they naturally knew that their commander-in-chief had a terrifying background.

It is enough for them to do their duty of exhortation. For the rest, this adult thinks there is no problem, so they will not say more. Anyway, the sky is falling, and there is a tall man on the top...

At this time, at the Fort in Quanzhou Port, there were two figures standing, and their eyes were also looking through the telescopic mirror, looking at the Daheng Jiangnan Naval Warship floating on the sea.

"Jiangnan navy, is Brother Lu your old department?"

Shi Bangyao, dressed in a red official robe, stared at him for a long time before slowly putting down the telescopic mirror in his hand and looking at Lu Xiangsheng, who was in commoner clothes beside him.

"What if it is? What if it isn't?"

Lu Xiangsheng was indifferent, but it was hard to hide his recollection in the eyes of the navy warship.

The Jiangnan navy that Denglai evolved into in front of him, but he forged it with his own hands. He is familiar with every warship, every cannon, and every soldier.

Back then, it was he who led this navy team to gallop across the Bohai Sea. At that time, it was the most enjoyable time in his life.

There is no worry, no burden, and no intrigue. Some, only thinking about how to fight the enemy and how to win every war...

"I hope that, Brother Lu, you can win over the old department and serve the court."

Shi Bangyao's words immediately pulled Lu Xiangsheng out of his memory.

"Lu Mou is a sinner, how can he have this ability, Master Shi, you look down on Lu Mou too highly!"

"Where did the sinner come from?"

Shi Bangyao retorted: "Brother Lu, you are a hero~www.wuxiaspot.com~ a great hero!"

"Your Majesty has decreed that Brother Lu, you are the Duke of Chu, the Governor-General of Jingying Rongzheng, and has full authority over the Jingjun, and organizes the reconstruction of the Jingjun!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng's expression was stagnant. After a while, he regained his composure: "Your Majesty's love, Lu has received it."

"Lu Mou can't afford such an important task, so please choose another virtuous person..."

Shi Bangyao looked cold:

"Are you really determined to be loyal to Li Thief? Do you have to disobey Jun's grace?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said nothing.

"Dead wood can't be carved!"

Shi Bangyao snorted coldly and walked away!

Lu Xiangsheng stood alone, speechless.
