Chapter 1 Letter To Open The Sea
Twenty-three years after Hongwu, it has now been twenty-three years since Daming ruled the world.
In the past 23 years, Daming not only expelled Mongolian Yuan, but restored China, the whole Daming also began to flourish. Although there are still many problems to be solved, there are also signs of prosperity.
It can even be predicted that as long as the crown prince Zhu Biao ascends the throne, then Daming will surely be able to prosper.
It was only in this peace, and only Zhu Bo knew that in this peace, turmoil would soon happen.
In the twenty-five years of Hongwu, that is, two years later, after the Prince Zhu Biao returned from his inspection in Shaanxi, he died of a cold and sickness.
Later, because of the turmoil in the country, Zhu Yuanzhang, his cheap father, was afraid that Zhu Yunwen would not be able to control the situation, and started the massacre sequence.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhu Bo.
If he didn’t think about his future situation, Zhu Bo at this time didn’t want to care at all.
Thinking about the tragic death in his own records, Zhu Bo felt that he still had to find a way out for himself.
And now there is no doubt that there is no way out.
“From now on, merchants and civilians will not be allowed to go to sea to trade, and coastal residents will move within 50 miles. Violators or those who cross the border will be executed, both officials and civilians, the goods will be confiscated, and the property of the prisoner will be paid to the informant.”
The eunuch’s sharp voice gradually entered his ears.
In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Daddy Cheap has issued a new order on the basis of the previous strict prohibition on exchanges between domestic and foreign personnel, prohibiting foreigners from entering the country.
And this was his chance when the eunuch’s voice fell.
Zhu Bo’s voice sounded immediately.
“Father, my son has something to play!”
The words spoke loudly, and his voice instantly attracted the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn’t care, couldn’t help but cast his gaze over at this moment and looked at his son.
“Say!”
The strong voice came, and it seemed a little suspicious.
“Father, my son thinks it is inappropriate to ban the sea.”
“Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the wealth and goods given by the sea cannot be given by the land. If the sea is prohibited, the people on the seashore will not be able to survive, the country will reduce its income, the Mengyuan will sweep the Central Plains and plunder the goods. For this benefit, please think twice.”
The words opened, Zhu Bo’s voice was serious.
Only as a traverser would he know how much damage the forbidden sea had done to Daming.
Banning the sea may indeed solve many problems, such as Japanese pirates.
Today’s Japanese pirates are not the group of people who had a good life, but the group of losers of the Mengyuan Uprising. They failed to compete for the world on land, and most of them have fled overseas, forming a huge group of pirates. , often looting the coast, a large part of the reason why the cheap dad banned the sea.
“His Royal Highness Xiang’s words are not good enough. The so-called power of sea trade is nothing more than petty profits, but the danger of Japanese pirates is imminent, and His Majesty’s ban on the sea is only for the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Bo’s voice fell, and then a figure in the front row quickly stepped forward to speak.
And that one is none other than Li Shanchang.
“Father, what Hu Xiang said is surprising. The benefits of the two Song Dynasties are petty benefits.”
Zhu Bo spoke quickly.
It’s just that his words have not continued, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who is above the head, speaks.
“King Xiang, the ban on the sea has been decided, so don’t discuss this matter again.”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang’s words that he couldn’t refuse, Zhu Bo couldn’t help but his heart skipped a beat, but when he reached this point, he didn’t want to retreat, he gritted his teeth and spoke again.
“Father, my son, please divide Qiongzhou, please allow your majesty.”
The words spoke again.
And this time, the entire court was completely silent.
Many people frowned, and many people shook their hearts.
“Father, the twelfth brother is ignorant, this is just nonsense, please forgive me!”
A figure hurried forward, Zhu Di’s words were the first to speak, and his eyes were frantically winking at Zhu Bo.
“Humph!”
“It seems that King Xiang has been a little busy recently. If so, let’s go to seal the country as soon as possible!”
Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice was cold.
An aura was pressing down on the entire court and everyone did not dare to lift their heads.
Even Zhu Di, for the coming Emperor Yongle, Zhu Bo saw cold sweat seep out of his face.
As the founding king, but also a real emperor through the ages, Zhu Yuanzhang’s aura is no joke.
It’s just that Zhu Bo at this moment continued to speak even though he felt infinite pressure.
“Father, my son, please seal Qiongzhou!”
The words were sonorous, but there was still no change.
And his words suddenly made the officials pale, even Zhu Di’s complexion changed drastically at this moment.
“King Yan, don’t speak. It seems that King Xiang likes Qiongzhou very much. Then I will satisfy him. From now on, I will change King Xiang to King Qiong and seal Qiongzhou. It will be sealed within three days. There must be no mistake.”
“Retreat!”
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth with anger, waved his hand and left the hall directly.
Obviously this one is already angry, and the original “we” that he likes to use has also been directly changed to the official term “zhen”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Zhu Bo spoke loudly, and his words made Zhu Yuanzhang’s body pause for a while, and then a cold snort rang out.
“Long live my emperor, long live!”
The ministers bowed down.
Zhu Yuanzhang left angrily.
Until the figure disappeared completely, everyone present couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s just that every one of them looked at Zhu Bo with a strange look.
“Your Highness King Xiang, you shouldn’t call His Highness King Qiong now, you are so brave!”
Li Shanchang opened his mouth with a smile, then turned around and left the hall.
And looking at that look, either puzzled, sympathetic, or stunned, Zhu Bo didn’t care too much, and the figure also turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, his hand was caught.
It was Zhu Di who looked up anxiously.
“Fourth Brother!”
He spoke with a grateful expression on his face.
