Chapter 1272: Generous Gifts
The prince praised himself......
Tang Yin's face flushed.
He followed Fang Jifan's side and knew the prince best.
According to the temperament of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his praise is for Tang Yin...... It's a shame.
Of course, Tang Yin's face did not change, and said: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your kind words." β
"I heard that you are very busy now, not only building ships, but also being in charge of the Naval Academy of Xishan Academy here, and also responsible for other military and political affairs of Tianjin Wei?"
Emperor Hongzhi is a person who can't be idle, and what he knows best is also a person like Tang Yin who is busy every day without touching the ground.
Therefore, in the eyes, the color of appreciation is revealed.
Tang Yin said: "Most of the shipbuilding is arranged by the people of the Steam Research Institute, and his subordinates are only responsible for some logistics matters. As for the military administration of Tianjin Wei, it is indeed the work of the ministers, Tianjin Wei is different from before, and the previous yamen alone cannot deal with so many displaced people, not to mention, there are all kinds of industries that have risen. The minister is the Qincha, representing the imperial court, and the local officials do not dare to make decisions, and often discuss with the ministers to do it. β
Emperor Hongzhi was satisfied with this.
Tang Yin said: "The real trouble is the Naval Academy, the new steam ship, has new requirements for the quality of the crew, and in terms of operation, it must also meet strict specifications, how to fill coal, how to pipe the wheel, and even how to maintain...... None of this is easy, therefore, non-academies are not allowed to train steamship talents, not only to teach them to read and write, but also to give them the existing steam engine ship, but also to give them continuous practical ......"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded again and again: "I originally thought that this steam engine would be ready for use, but who knew that there were so many famous halls in it, but it was difficult for you, it was too troublesome." β
Tang Yin said: "If a minister acts according to orders, how can there be no reason not to use his life. β
Emperor Hongzhi was happy: "Then, come here, pass on the will, serve the bachelor Tang Yin, pass through the undefeated fleet in the East, and then let him concurrently serve as the military and political affairs of Tianjin. β
He glanced at Tang Yin deeply: "Do a good job, your senior brother is in Baoding, but he is doing a good job, this Tianjin Wei must not lag behind the Baoding Political Envoy." β
Tang Yin bowed: "The minister went to the soup to fight the fire, and he never gave up." β
He obviously didn't understand Emperor Hongji's intentions.
In another meaning of His Majesty, the land price of the Baoding Political Envoy has risen so much, and my son has bought so much land in Tianjin Wei, you Tang Yin have to work hard, don't let those lands smash your hands.
Tang Yin said: "At present, the top priority of Tianjin Wei, in addition to building ships, will sort out the traffic, this place, is a thoroughfare, connecting the river transport, shipping, therefore, what the minister has to do now is to connect the railway, roads, canals, and ports to each other, making it a hub, when the time comes, the world's commercial goods, all from this will be distributed, once these four traffic links are missing, this distribution place, will be congested." β
"Well said. grasped the key point, and sure enough, he was worthy of being Fang Jifan's protΓ©gΓ©. β
Fang Jifan stood aside, very pleased.
Such an outstanding disciple, who can teach it, only our successor, there is no one else, not our successor to brag about it...... It's all of you...... Fang Jifan's eyes inadvertently looked at the hundred officials behind Emperor Hongzhi.
The hundreds of officials accompanying him were silent.
There are many of them, to become inspectors, soon to start their distribution journey, not surprisingly, they should be assigned to a ravine, or the ends of the earth, play in the mud for ten or eight years, now look at Tang Yin's young age, not more than forty years, he is already a bachelor, unspeakably expensive, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, high-spirited......
What happens to people......
Many people have a sense of stumbling in their hearts, sad and sad in their hearts, and one by one they bow their heads, thoughtful, thinking about their hearts.
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be a little tired, went downstairs, and went to rest.
Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan began to get busy.
In order to deal with an enemy attack that may come at any time, it is necessary to be fully prepared.
Changpingwei has been assembled as a reserve.
In the name of changing guards, Zhu Houzhao transferred the accompanying Jin Wuwei to Dagukou.
As for the area around Tanggu, he ordered the cavalry battalion to garrison.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Your Majesty......" Xiao Jing cautiously approached Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi woke up and took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth, and then he barely recovered a little of his spirit.
"What?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in the name of the military chief officer of the Governor of the World, mobilized Jin Wuwei and ......"
Emperor Hongji's eyes fluttered.
Obviously, this kid is doing things right under his nose.
Anyone who mobilizes the soldiers and horses around the emperor without authorization is a crime of death, even the crown prince, which is a lesson from the past in history, how many princes died on this.
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "And then? β
Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty is in bed, Jin Wuwei and the Xiaocai Battalion sent people to inquire, but they didn't dare to disobey His Royal Highness the Prince's orders, and finally ...... Finally ......"
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "If something is abnormal, it is a demon, I really have no way to take a good photo, I scolded and scolded, and I beat and beaten, what else?" He is a bold man, he dares to do anything, this is his mother, who spoiled him too much. β
After saying this, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the bedroom vigilantly, and saw that there were only himself and Xiao Jing here, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then took another sip of tea: "Let him go, the princes of all dynasties, those who dare to act so arbitrarily and recklessly, are all dead without a place to be buried, but I am not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, not Tang Gaozu, Houzhao is not the prince Liu Ju, not Li Shimin, it's just that, I don't care about these things." β
Xiao Jing nodded, he was also relieved in his heart, such a big matter, he wanted to turn a blind eye, but he didn't dare not report it, when the time came, the prince may not be guilty, and he will die without a place to be buried.
But it was reported, and he was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be liquidated afterwards.
Left and right are not people, difficult.
Xiao Jing thought in his heart, in this world, every emperor and every prince are different, of course, you can't use common sense to guess the things of today, the current emperor, not to mention that there is only one prince, His Majesty's heart is very much in love with his children and grandchildren, for the sake of the prince and the emperor's grandson, it is to teach him to take out his heart, and he will not hesitate.
And the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, how many of them are after my death, no matter how much of the flood is monstrous, no matter at any time, even if the country is gone, I must seize the authority to the death, and refuse to give up a single cent, and give birth to a little doubt, that is, to kill my son and kill my grandson, that is not hesitation.
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly knocked on the case: "What does this kid want to do?" β
Xiao Jing was speechless.
"You can't answer again?"
Xiao Jing's bitter gourd face: "Slave ......"
"Hey, factory guard...... Factory guards ......" Emperor Hongzhi said two factory guards in a row, but just shook his head and sighed.
Xiao Jing: "......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Mighty ships appeared on the surface of the ocean.
On the ship Philip I.
Sir Francisco picked up his telescope and surveyed the nearby sea.
Along the way, they spotted sporadic Han Chinese merchant ships, but they were quickly disarmed.
This is enough to prove that the route provided by Wang Xizuo is correct.
According to their interrogation, this was indeed the route to Tianjin.
This made Sir Francisco very excited.
For the Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards were strangers.
In fact, from the eastern end of the continent to the western end of the continent, the two sides have limited understanding of each other.
The whole Franco, in the official interconnection, in history, when Emperor Zhengde was there, Emperor Zhengde summoned the envoy of Portugal, and Emperor Zhengde was very interested in the Portuguese.
Now, of course, history has changed.
Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao became the prince of the old fritters.
In the people, although there have been sporadic contacts between the East and the West, such contacts are not sufficient.
Even in the West, on the continent of Franco, there are many legends about the Ming Empire, but most of them are suspected of exaggeration.
At this time, the Spaniards, encroaching everywhere, had begun to swell up a little.
They have even begun to wield the hegemony of the entire Franco.
Of course...... The most important thing is that the Americas are forbidden to anyone for them, and the Ming Empire has become a big problem for the Kingdom of Spain.
The appearance of Wang Xizuo made the decision-makers of the entire Spain instantly begin to have a new understanding of the Ming Empire.
It's a decaying empire.
They had been so indifferent to the affairs of the sea that many of those excluded from the elite were exiled and forced to go to the sea.
Their army, though unprecedented, resembles a weak giant.
When Wang Xizuo talked about the military system of the Ming Empire, it triggered wanton ridicule from the magnates of the entire Spanish Kingdom.
It turned out that their soldiers were inherited, but they were just a group of people from Tuntian.
And from the Portuguese, the Spaniards also confirmed this point.
In the West, there are many Han people, and they are scattered in the West, and the Ming Empire is obviously indifferent to them.
The king's skillful speech made the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Spain realize that this gentleman was an honest man.
Of course...... Honesty is unreliable.
His Royal Highness also gave him a rich reward that would allow him to dedicate his life to the Kingdom of Spain.
An expeditionary force began to be organized, with more than 2,000 men, using the latest weapons, well supplied, and Portuguese trading points along the way as their logistical supply bases.
Sir Francisco, who was able to fight well, was the commander of the expeditionary force.
The whole of Spain was in a frenzy, and the kingdom of Spain, eager for adventure, had always reaped considerable benefits from its adventures, and this time, as they had made great discoveries, and had conquered ancient empires and kingdoms with hundreds of soldiers, they were determined to take a desperate gamble.
