Chapter 970: Asking for Benefits
"Let the Ming send a governor to manage Luzon?"
When Sun Chengzong heard this, his brows furrowed.
"What are the duties and powers of this governor, and how does the imperial court have jurisdiction over this governor?"
Yang Feng smiled and said frankly: "Ben Hou thinks so, this governor has jurisdiction and disposal over all military and political affairs in Luzon. The imperial court had the responsibility of supervising Luzon, and every year the governor handed over 30% of all Luzon's income to the imperial court, and the governor in Luzon had the obligation to protect the merchants and Ming people who did business in Luzon. ”
"Hiss......"
Everyone gasped, and they had jurisdiction over and disposal of all military and political affairs in Luzon, and this alone showed that the power of this governor stationed in Luzon was simply boundless, just like the emperor of the soil.
On the other hand, the Ming court only had the right to supervise Luzon.
What is the right to supervise? In fact, this right is just a formality, if people are willing to take care of you, let you say a few words, if people are not willing to take care of you, you are a fart.
"I'm afraid this candidate for governor of Luzon was set up by the Marquis of Jiang Ning for himself, right?" Han Yi on the side said gloomily: "The affairs of Luzon are all in the hands of this governor, and the imperial court can't interfere at all, could it be that the Marquis of Jiang Ning wants to establish himself as the king overseas?" ”
Sun Chengzong and Zhu Guozhen's faces are not good-looking, and this Yang Feng's appearance is too ugly, what is he trying to do? Want to start an independent kingdom in Luzon? If you're doing something like this, you'd just call it lonely.
Yang Feng naturally saw the faces of these people, but he didn't pay attention to them, but looked at Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”
Zhu Youxiao was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Yang Aiqing, does this governor of Luzon need a hereditary replacement?" ”
"What...... Do you want to be hereditary? Sun Chengzong's eyes were bigger than copper bells, did Your Majesty lose his mind and go crazy today, thinking that this guy's rights are not enough, and he actually wants to make him hereditary?
"If Your Majesty agrees, then it is not unnecessary." Yang Feng was not polite at all.
"Presumptuous!"
Han Yi couldn't hold back any longer, pointed at Yang Feng and said sharply: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." The whole world belongs to His Majesty, what is the difference between Jiang Ninghou's move and establishing himself as a king, do you know that this is a crime and disobedience! According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the nine clans will be punished! ”
"Guilty? Disobedience? ”
Yang Feng looked at Han Yi as if he was mentally retarded, "Elder Han Ge, since this is the case, then Benhou can not be the governor, and the imperial court can send someone else." When the time comes, the imperial court can send officials to the local area as much as it wants, do you think it's okay? ”
"This ......"
Han Yi was dumb for a while, and then he remembered that Luzon is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty now, it is an independent country, and there are millions of Luzon people living in that land, and they also have Luzon kings, and they have even been canonized by the Ming court
Send officials to Luzon, besides, you have to have that strength too.
Seeing Han Yi, who was speechless, Yang Feng didn't plan to hide it, and simply said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's just say it." Luzon was led by Ben Hou Jiangning Army and Fujian Naval Division, whether it was Jiangning Army or Fujian Naval Division, Ben Hou pulled it up single-handedly, the reason why Ben Hou brazenly asked His Majesty for the position of Governor of Luzon is also to find a home for those soldiers who fought for the Ming Dynasty, and I hope that Your Majesty and several adults can be fulfilled. ”
Seeing Yang Feng spread everything out, the people present didn't know how to scold him.
After a long time, Sun Chengzong frowned and said: "Marquis Jiangning, you are the dignified Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty treats you well, why do you have such a bad heart?" ”
"Misdeeds?" Yang Feng chuckled: "Elder Sun Ge, you can't afford this responsibility, why does this Hou have bad intentions?" Benhou occupies the territory of Nanyang, and resettles the people of the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, Luzon will also become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty that is honored.
The reason why Benhou asked His Majesty for the post of Governor is only for the sake of future generations, and if His Majesty and your lords do not agree, Benhou will not be reluctant. Look, the world is so big, there is a vast expanse of land besides Luzon, and there are other places in Luzon, such as Europe, where the Spaniards are, and this big continent......"
Yang Feng pointed to Australia, America and many other places in the future.
"Ben Hou can say unceremoniously, as long as Ben Hou wants these places, he can hold them in his hands at any time, Luzon is not a place where you have to do it, Ben Hou said this, do you understand?"
Got it...... Of course I understand, Yang Feng has already talked about this, and it would be a fool if they didn't understand it anymore, Yang Feng was asking them for benefits.
In fact, since Yang Feng stepped into the officialdom of Daming, his contribution to Daming was obvious to all at that time, it can be said that if it weren't for Yang Feng, Zhu Youxiao would have burped a long time ago, not to mention having a son.
In addition, the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the acquisition of high-yield seeds, the establishment of the Ming Imperial Commercial Bank, the Fujian Navy, the extermination of Zheng Zhilong and other pirates, the recovery of Taiwan, etc., and now he has led the army to Luzon, it can be said that his credit is so great that it is impossible to say.
His credit is so great, but the court's praise for him is very small, and there is only one title of Marquis of Jiangning, whether it is Zhu Youxiao or the important ministers of the court, they all know that Yang Feng has received far less than his efforts, but Yang Feng has never complained, and still does his best to contribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Now he finally made his request, which was to canonize him as governor of Luzon, and he had to be hereditary.
To be honest, when Zhu Youxiao heard Yang Feng's request to be the governor of Luzon, his first reaction was not to be angry and angry, but to breathe a long sigh of relief.
A person who is not your parent gives you everything in return, but does not ask for anything in return, no matter who feels uncomfortable.
Over the years, Zhu Youxiao has received too much favor and help from Yang Feng, and it has been so much that Zhu Youxiao can't bear it, and now that the other party finally has an opportunity to give back to the other party, Zhu Youxiao will naturally not be stingy.
It's just a Luzon, this place was not originally from the Ming Dynasty, so what about canonizing him to Yang Feng? At least after being canonized to Yang Feng, Luzon nominally became the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty did not have to spend a soldier on it, and he could get a lot of money every year, Zhu Youxiao couldn't think of any reason for him to refuse.
"I can grant you this request."
Without waiting for the three pavilion elders to speak, Zhu Youxiao had already taken the lead in agreeing.
