645 The Prologue to the Great Voyage
"Why?" Obviously, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong have a kind of confusion about these matters.
However, after reading the history books, Suning can be said to know a lot about these things, and he also has an almost all-round understanding of some of the things that Li Ermajesty did in history.
"Once when I chatted with His Majesty, I heard His Majesty say this, he said that he looked at the history books, and was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Heavenly Family treated the heroes poorly since ancient times, and His Majesty thought that the heroes were born and died to fight the emperor, and the emperor sat down in the country but did the cunning rabbit and death lackeys to cook, it was really undeserved, so His Majesty has always hoped to treat the heroes well and give the heroes what they deserve.
Therefore, since his ascension to the throne, His Majesty has been very generous to the heroes, and he is quite tolerant of all kinds of actions of the heroes, and a little flying and domineering can also be completely ignored, it can be said that since ancient times, among the sons of heaven, there are only a handful of people who can treat the heroes as well as His Majesty, but now, His Majesty has set up a separate naval staff headquarters, set up a naval military office, and used the navy to fight against the army, and the two uncles really don't know why? ”
Cheng Yanjin and Yu Chigong did not speak.
Suning said very seriously: "A few days ago, Uncle Wei Chi got drunk and beat a hawker who entered the house to deliver vegetables to half death, the hawker had nowhere to avenge his grievances, and he didn't dare to redress his grievances, so he could only suffer, and finally died of serious injuries, and his family cried all day long, and was finally learned by the imperial history, so he was furious after understanding what happened, and wrote a three-thousand-word blood book on the spot to seek justice for this peddler, and presented this blood book to His Majesty. I want to give a clear answer.
So the uncle was even more furious when he learned about it, and rushed to the gate of the imperial city to injure this imperial history, and the imperial history would rather die than remove this state, and Uncle Wei Chi really wanted to pull out his sword and behead this imperial history, but fortunately he was stopped by others, otherwise it would be a big mistake, although Uncle Wei Chi did not severely punish Uncle Wei Chi, does Uncle Wei Chi know how many cups and plates His Majesty smashed that day? How many servants were repulsed? The queen was helpless.
Some time ago, Uncle Cheng's family had a conflict between a subordinate who was in charge of purchasing and an old vegetable farmer, and this evil servant relied on Uncle Cheng's name to oppress the good. The old peasant couldn't bear to argue with it. The evil servant knocked the old peasant to the ground with a punch, and walked away, being hit by the imperial history, and the evil servant still did not know his mistake. In a fit of rage, Yushi played the impeachment of Uncle Cheng. Uncle Cheng was also furious. rushed to this imperial historian's house to make a fuss, and His Majesty just reprimanded Uncle Cheng, but did Uncle Cheng know that His Majesty didn't eat a grain of rice that night? ”
Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong seemed to show some panicked looks.
"Your Majesty cherishes the heroes. I don't want the heroes to encounter things that shouldn't be encountered, and I don't want to learn from Han Gaozu to kill the heroes and end up infamous through the ages, but the heroes seem to be a little too indulgent, and seem to think that His Majesty will definitely not punish the heroes, and some time ago, General Hou's affairs didn't seem to make Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi realize that the reason why Hou Junji was severely punished by His Majesty was not only because he coveted the position of prime minister, but also because he was rampant and bullying men and women who didn't know how to restrain themselves!
The uncles only think that this is Hou Junji who does not know how to advance and retreat, and he is not satisfied with becoming the chief of staff, and he still has to compete for the position of prime minister, don't you know that His Majesty is not only angry because of this, and punishes Hou Junji so severely, but also because His Majesty wants to deter the generals in the army and give the generals in the army a warning, don't go too far! However, Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi openly opposed Yu Shi, forcing His Majesty to calm down, do Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi really think this is a good thing? Really thought this was something to celebrate?
His Majesty no longer intends to continue to indulge the heroes of the flying and domineering, the experience of the previous dynasty told sù Majesty Xià, unlimited tolerance of heroes will only bring disaster, everything must have a degree, His Majesty is no longer His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but the current emperor, the emperor and the King of Qin are two completely different positions, treat the same thing, naturally can not use the same attitude.
The establishment of the Navy Staff Headquarters and the Navy this time is the ultimatum of His Majesty to your uncles, if your uncles still don't know how to rein, Your Majesty will really want to do it, get rid of the Shandong family, and overthrow the scholars who have suppressed the imperial court for many years in one fell swoop, this is a gratifying thing, the generals have contributed a lot This is also a real thing, Your Majesty is naturally happy, but after the Hou Junji incident, Your Majesty is alert to whether it is too indulgent to the heroes in the army, at this time, Uncle Wei Chi and Uncle Cheng still openly attacked Yushi without knowing how to restrain themselves.
Yushi is the messenger of His Majesty, he is the face of His Majesty, Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi openly attacked Yushi is to slap Majesty's face, how can His Majesty not be angry? How can you not be alert? Now His Majesty is still thinking of the last trace of affection and has not openly taken punitive measures against the generals, and when the day comes, it will be irreparable! Uncle Cheng, Uncle Wei Chi, don't you understand? Your Majesty's move is your last chance!
Don't get involved in anything in the navy, just as the navy never exists, just as the naval staff headquarters never exists, there is no such thing, and there is maritime trade, it is really a trade that can make people rich overnight, but all the generals in the army who are involved in the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo or the Western Regions and other places, do not get involved in maritime trade at all, unless His Majesty explicitly agrees, otherwise resolutely do not!
At the same time, restrain the family and the servants not to bully others, not to bully the good, not to act recklessly, all uncles must remember to be vigilant, remember not to fly high, offend Your Majesty! I believe that all of you uncles are understanding people, and you should know what is important to the emperor and what is inviolable. Someone, send off! ”
Suning turned around and left the study, did not make more stops, and at the same time opened the era of navigation, Suning's move was precisely to delay and even offset the idea of Li Erma's idea of setting up his own spy agency, Baiqi Division, once the Baiqi Division was established, the ministers were frightened, the relaxed political scope would be gone, and the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty would be overshadowed, once this kind of spy agency was established, it would be a situation where everyone was in danger.
As a famous nobleman, Suning will naturally be worried about this. In the final analysis, he was born in the army, a member of the military, and has a chaotic connection with the army, and it is absolutely impossible for him to hold any official position in the court, even if he is twenty years old and after the crown, it is the same, and the influence on the government in the future is also the private performance of Tong Guò and Li Erma, and what to do and what not to do is only a general idea, and the specific measures will no longer be cared about.
It is still to follow the army line, never leave the army, and not to go to any position in the navy unless absolutely necessary. The navy has been regarded by Li Erxi as a great weapon to restrain the army. With one more army, the country's resources will be tilted from the army to the navy, and the establishment of the navy has a very strong political significance, and the navy seems to have been the enemy of the army since its birth.
Abandon the car to protect the handsome. This is a decision made by Suning in desperation. He didn't know that the generals in the army had reached such a point. Almost regarded the laws and regulations set by Li Er's Majesty as nothing, in his opinion, he was the only one in this world who could violate laws and regulations. Because the laws and regulations were set by him, for him, they were his private belongings, and he could violate them as much as he wanted, but only he was alone, and the rest of the people did not have such qualifications.
Therefore, in order to prevent the establishment of the Hundred Cavalry Division, Suning can only go around in a big circle and use the Navy to replace the Hundred Cavalry Division against the Army, so that Li Er Majesty can feel balanced and feel at ease, so that everyone's good life can continue, instead of being monitored, and even the color of the underwear can be known.
Hopefully they will understand.
However, the other actions brought about by this incident also surprised Suning, because the people were shocked and inexplicable about the Seven Kings going to sea this time, and they were also keenly aware that there must be a big secret hidden behind the Seven Kings going to sea, and then under the false rumors, the matter that anything in the Tang Dynasty could be exchanged for huàn and other heavy gold on the other side of the sea was spread.
Marx is right, at least this is good, for the sake of profit, people can trample on the laws of the world, as long as this profit can make them crazy, the people of the Tang Dynasty are also crazy about it, they are crazy for the prince, why aren't they crazy? The imperial court didn't let us go north to do business, so we went to sea! How big is the sea, there is no end in sight, the imperial court can't ban it, right?
The imperial court did not prohibit it, and indeed did not prohibit it, but issued several necessary conditions for going to sea, first, the government soldiers were not allowed to go to sea, second, those who did not have surplus labor at home or those who had only children in the family were not allowed to go to sea, and third, those who did not have a team of more than 100 people and a fleet of more than three ships were not allowed to go to sea.
The three prohibitions are also to stop the crazy people from doing crazy things to the greatest extent, such as the madman who is about to cross the Pacific Ocean on a small broken boat, this kind of death behavior must not be recognized, and just one person, even if you are lucky, you will arrive in the Americas in a flat boat like Sun Wukong, what do you do to fight the Indians? Sun, not to think that one person and one ship can cross the Pacific Ocean, even in modern times.
For this reason, Li Erma Xià specially set up a new department in the three major ports of Jinling, Beiping, and Guangzhou, where the fleet gathered, to manage the fleet to go to sea, issue sea permits and return to the port to return to the country, and collect taxes on the wealth of maritime trade, and the specific amount can only be determined when the first fleet returns with a big fortune.
For a time, there was a large flow of people in the unfinished place of Jinling Port, going back and forth between the port and the city, constantly dealing with people coming and going, and no matter what the purpose, this Jinling port has a huge fleet of three princes, plus three in Guangzhou and one in Beiping, each of the princes' huge fleet is followed by a lot of followers, because the city of the port division clearly stated that if you want to go to sea, you can, but it is best to be in a group, the storm at sea is extremely terrible, it will kill you, and you are lucky to arrive on the opposite side of the seaIf there are not enough people, there is a good chance that they will be killed by the local barbarians!
Even under the coaxing and deception, people are sober up a lot, and they are very cautious about going to sea, generally speaking, there is no small fleet that does not dare to go to sea, and the leader of the large fleet constantly shouts that the newly arrived adventurers join their team, and the ones with the ship become fragrant and sweet, and are scrambling everywhere, as the date of the Seven Kings going to sea approaches, this kind of competition is more intense, if it is not for the army to supervise here, it is estimated that they can stage a weapon fight.
The enthusiasm of the people of the Tang Dynasty to go to sea has been fully mobilized, and the first super-large voyage to sea in human history is about to begin, this is a great adventure, no one knows what the result will be, and no one knows whether these people can come back after leaving, the unpredictable weather on the sea and whether it will meet how many people will be swallowed by the sea killers, no one can say, and the direct promoter of this movement, Suning, is even more unclear.
How will the Europeans shed a lot of blood for the Great Voyage, the Africans and Native Americans shed more blood, and now that they have been replaced by a group of Asian pioneers almost a thousand years earlier?
No one knows. (To be continued......)
