Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head and glanced at Xu Jing appreciatively.

He found that he liked these young people more and more.

In these young people, he saw vitality.

Even if Ouyang Zhi is such a calm person, he can still find his vigorous side from him.

On the other hand, many young Hanlin look young, but with a sense of twilight.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You come and tell me about what you have seen and heard in the Golden Continent." ”

"Yes." Ouyang Zhi began to talk eloquently.

He was already eloquent, and after going to sea, he often dealt with foreign vassals.

He talked about the natives of the Golden Continent, where they have a special hobby for astronomy, but they can only rely on manpower to transport goods.

He spoke of the Golden Continent of a native kingdom, built in the midst of criss-crossing waterways, and though it was vast, it only used bronze as a weapon, and there were no horses in the country......

When the Francophiles discovered them, they were invited into the kingdom by falsely claiming to be messengers of peace, and then they attacked, and in an instant the whole kingdom collapsed like an avalanche, and then there were days of adultery and plunder, and the city was swept away by fire, and countless gold and silver, and countless jewels, were plundered, and now, all that was left there was nothing but ruins and countless bones.

Emperor Hongzhi felt more and more strange: "There are hundreds of millions of natives, why are they not as good as hundreds of Francophone people?" ”

Xu Jingzheng said: "There are many people in the locals, but like Han Xin leading the troops, the more the merrier, but what if it is not Han Xin who leads the troops?" Your Majesty, marching and fighting is not about the number of people. Rather, it is the summary of countless wars. As the minister said, the natives have no wheels, and they don't even tame horses, so they rarely have experience in large-scale battles, and their battles are more like clan fights in the countryside of our Ming Dynasty. Last time, our fleet brought hundreds of war horses, but these hundreds of war horses, but three years ago, against a group of native tribes who had ill intentions against our Ming Dynasty, hundreds of cavalry, with just one cup of tea, could defeat thousands of their men and horses. ”

Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding his head thoughtfully.

"The natives, don't worry, the real thing to worry about is only the Franco-Rang people, the Franco-Philes seem to have been in the Golden Continent, feel the threat of my Ming Dynasty, continue to send more ships, a steady stream of people, transport a large number of people to the settlements, according to the rough estimates, has been known from the mouth of the captives The fact is that they have twenty-seven strongholds in the Golden Continent, they have built castles, conquered nearby tribes, in various strongholds, sent additional soldiers, and even placed many homeless people, in the meantime, originally, The Franco-Spanish and the Franco-Portuguese swore to each other that they would not allow the Portuguese to get their hands on the Golden Continent, but now, it is not what it used to be, and Spain has even begun to open the door widely, hoping that in the Golden Continent, they can cooperate with the Portuguese to guard against the threat of our Ming Dynasty, and they have also recruited a large number of mercenary soldiers and outcasts from France, England, and Italy, using fertile land and gold as a temptation, obviously...... They felt a great threat from our Ming Dynasty and were determined to occupy this important place......"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Yiqing's family, what should I do?" ”

Xu Jing glanced at Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, this is the same principle in ancient times." Now in the long run, it is necessary to build a larger fleet, transport large numbers of people to the Golden Continent, establish market towns, fortresses, reclaim land, dig minerals, and produce weapons. Your Majesty...... The minister has a suggestion, so far, the military system is erosive, Emperor Taizu Gao, set up more than 300 guards in the world, millions of military households, and now, most of the military households, have long lost their land, life is bleak, hardship is very, these years, the imperial court has used troops abroad, most of the guards, there is no combat power, military fugitives, there are countless people, you may as well ...... His Majesty decreed that guards should be set up in the Golden Continent, Kunlun Continent, and Western Oceans, and that military households should be allowed to reclaim the land, so that they could defend the frontier for our Ming Dynasty, so that the disadvantages of military households could be solved. These military households, when they go to the Golden Continent, have land to cultivate, can eat and drink enough, and do their best to open up the territory for our Ming Dynasty. ”

Emperor Hongji kept nodding his head.

The military household system of the Ming Dynasty has come to this day, and it is really erosive.

Once upon a time, there was no silver in the imperial court, so ...... Let's just mix it up. But now, there is enough silver in the inner treasury, and Emperor Hongzhi also knows that there is no way to go on like this, except for some elite guards, which are still usable, and the others have become a burden on the imperial court. Rather than that, it is better to ...... Let's go to sea.

But......

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Qing family, who can control the Golden Continent?" ”

This is the crux of the matter, a large number of military households have migrated there, and a steady stream of people in the future will also go to this new continent, but there, who will manage it.

After all, Xu Jing is good at shipping, he can lead a fleet and can crisscross the seas, but once he goes deep into the land, it is not his talent.

Right now...... Who's going to guard the Golden Continent?

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but stroke his forehead: "British duke? ”

Xu Jing didn't say anything.

The British Duke is a very good candidate, but the last time, Emperor Hongzhi asked him to go to Xiaoling, he said that he had broken his foot on horseback, and the old disease had recurred, and Emperor Hongzhi had to give up.

Now, this British duke is indeed old, and he has an old illness, so it is indeed inappropriate to let him go.

That's hundreds of thousands of military households, and millions of family members.

This person who guards the town is indeed a headache, on the one hand, how many people can be trusted by the imperial court and may be absolutely trusted?

Furthermore, there needs to be sufficient prestige.

The Ming Dynasty's guard system has been in practice for many years, and in the past hundred years, it has already become a system of its own, if the imperial court appoints other people to go, are these people willing to be convinced?

Therefore, it is only possible to let people with prestige go, such as the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Dingguo, and the Duke of England.

There is no other reason, because the essence of the guard is hereditary, those hereditary officials of thousands and hundreds of households, they don't recognize other people, they only trust their own people, what is their own people, you have to beat with eight poles.

For example, my grandfather once listened to orders under the account of the British public, you see, this is his own person, in the future overseas, if there is anything good, I naturally know, my grandfather and the grandfather of the British public have had this friendship, I have an accident, you have to pull me.

Or, my father once carried your grandfather out during the Tumubao Change, which is also his own person.

Or, my father used to be a personal soldier under the account of a certain father, and a certain father personally whipped my father with a whip, which ...... In fact, it is also a kind of friendship.

Even if the other party may have forgotten this layer of friendship for a long time, and even can't remember which onion you are at all, but having this layer of relationship can make people down-to-earth.

And the people who can make the military horses of each guard give birth to such down-to-earth emotions are only a handful of people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

That's fine, but the most terrifying thing is that this person must not only have prestige and good health, but also have ability.

If you don't have enough skills, you can't get on the horse and lead the troops, you can't clean yourself, and you can't make these unruly guys all beyond.

Don't say that it is a Franco, even if you encounter a native, you may not be able to parry.

Emperor Hongzhi rubbed his temples, headache, the British Duke is not in good health, the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Wei are old, others such as Chengguo Gong and others, Emperor Hongzhi really can't look down on them, these guys, honestly, eat and wait for death.

Pick and choose......

Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused.

I knew that even Fang Jifan called him together, this guy has a lot of ghost ideas.

Wrong......

Emperor Hongji suddenly remembered someone.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Pingxi Hou Fang Jinglong, loyal, do things also have a clear eye, for my Ming Dynasty, set up a lot of military achievements, he guards Jiaozhi and Guizhou, has a lot of experience in governance, and his body is also quite hearty, his wife ...... and the southwestern feudal clans, deep friendship, what if Pingxi waits to guard the Golden Continent? By the way, the natives of the southwest will also migrate there......"

Xu Jing: "......"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xu Jing and said, "Xu Qing's family, what do you think?" ”

Xu Jing felt that his neck was cold.

This is his own master, a lot of age, and he has to cross the ocean, if this master goes to the Golden Continent, the teacher and the master may not be able to see each other for the rest of their lives, with this father, and without this father, what is the difference.

What if, in the midst of this vast ocean, something else happens......

Puff ...... Xu Jing knelt down: "Minister...... The minister did not dare to call the shots. ”

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back: "What are you panicking about, will Fang Jifan still beat you to death?" ”

Xu Jing's face was miserable.

It's like saying, yes, maybe you'll really be killed!

Emperor Hongzhi can be regarded as convinced, what kind of person Xu Jing is, he has seen the wind and waves, licking the blood with the knife, nine deaths, in the face of countless dangers in the vast sea, he is not afraid, such a resolute and resolute person, he actually ......... Fear of teachers like tigers.

"This is my idea, it has nothing to do with Qing, if he dares to beat you, you take out the scepter, see if he dares to hurt you a hair, this is a national matter, not a child's play."

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and cheered Xu Jing up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request." Xu Jing said tremblingly.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "It doesn't hurt you to say it. ”

Xu Jing said: "The minister heard that ...... His Majesty's treasury has innumerable gold and silver ......"

Emperor Hongzhi's face was pulled down in an instant.

"I'm afraid that there is silver, and it will be more than 40 million."

"Nonsense, who told you this, there are no 40 million taels, this is a false rumor, obviously there is only ......"

Emperor Hongzhi felt that he was a little confused, and quickly silenced, how much silver do I have, why did I tell you?

"What the minister means is that Your Majesty's silver, left in the inner treasury, is useless if you think about it, why don't you let it be entrusted by Xishan Qianzhuang, the interest of this Xishan Qianzhuang is amazing......"
