Chapter 0648 Taiwan Island Affairs
Everything is fine in the harem, and the previous dynasty is also smooth.
The drawings that the eighth master and others got back were sent to the Ministry of Industry, combined with the previous ones, and after redrawing and transcribing, several shipbuilders recruited by the emperor worked hard for days, and finally sent the formed drawings and shipbuilders to Fujian.
Together with the previous ones, there are already more than a dozen experienced shipbuilders.
The fourth master stepped up his efforts to supervise the household department and the ministry of industry to provide what was needed.
The people along the coast of Fujian are very cooperative, but there are quite a few laborers who work for free.
After all, after the Forbidden Sea is opened, their lives will be better than they are now, and maybe even better than before.
The fourth master ordered that in the end, he should still give some silver every month, and he could not let the people work in vain.
With this will, the enthusiasm of the people was high, and they worked even harder.
Today's coastal areas of Fujian are all prosperous.
Although the sea has not yet been officially opened, many fishermen's fishing boats have already started to fish in the nearby waters.
Of course, for their own safety, they will not go far.
However, in just over half a year, the life of the people along the coast of Fujian has been much better than before.
After all, after you've eaten enough, you can't have other ideas, right?
And the young men who know how to be water also volunteered to join the water division.
In just a few months, the sailors have been full, and there are still many people who can be replenished in the future.
Generally speaking, Fujian is now poised to go, and it is foreseeable that as long as the emperor's will remains unchanged, it will be another prosperous scene in three or five years.
Relatively speaking, the coastal areas of Guangdong are a little weaker, but Fujian is now the focus.
As long as Fujian does a good job, whether it is Guangdong or Zhejiang, it will all get better.
On Taiwan Island, across the sea, the Zheng family father and son are discussing.
"Father, this little emperor is training sailors and wants to beat us. We might as well send troops first, and take them by surprise before they have trained the sailors! "Zheng Kezhang is very imposing.
"Sit down first." Zheng Jing frowned: "The Qing Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient. Even if it is a war, if you are not sure, you cannot rush to send troops. ”
Otherwise, although Taiwan Island is far away, it is a small place after all. For the Qing Dynasty, if you want to take it bent on it, it will be effortless.
"It's better to ...... Son going on a trip to Mongolia? The second son, Zheng Keshuang, groaned.
"Well, that's a way to do that, too. However, if you don't talk about it for a long time, it is also risky. You don't have to go there yourself. Zheng Jing's beard: "Find a reliable person and go to Horqin!" ”
Zheng Kezhang sneered: "Mongolia is so far away, what's the use of looking for it?" ”
The two brothers have always been at odds, and Zheng Jing has always favored the eldest son Zheng Kezang, so even if the eldest son satirizes the younger son, Zheng Jing can only be invisible.
This Zheng Kezang's biological mother was originally to serve the old Yanping Wang Zheng Chenggong.
Back then, because of this incident, the world was turned upside down, and Zheng Jing was also killed on the throne.
But because of this, he was especially fond of this woman and the sons and daughters she gave birth to.
is Zheng Keshuang, the son-in-law of his wife, who is not valued by him.
Therefore, the fight between the two brothers is also extremely fierce.
One is a sister-in-law, and the other is a favored eldest son.
Everything on Taiwan Island follows the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Chenggong regards himself as the king of Yanping, although the Ming Dynasty is no more.
However, they still called themselves Ming courtiers.
They are all Han people here, and their tradition is to respect their sons-in-law.
But this Zheng Kezhang is not an idle person.
And because Zheng Jing was also killed back then, there was naturally a group of courtiers to support the eldest son Zheng Kezang.
Of course, it's a fight, and you're alive and dead.
After the discussion, Zheng Keshuang met with his staff.
This Mr. Du came to Taiwan from the mainland in his early years, and he was full of talent, but he was never allowed to reuse.
It has been seven or eight years since I followed Zheng Keshuang.
"What do you think, sir, right now?" Zheng Keshuang did not approve of the fight immediately.
"What does the second son think, what will happen to Taiwan Island in the future?" Mr. Du smiled and did not answer the rhetorical question.
Zheng Keshuang pondered for a while, then sighed: "If Mr. has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"Then I'll be straight to the point." Mr. Du put down the tea bowl with a smile: "When the prince came to power, he killed a lot of people. Drove a lot of people away. Some of them were originally the pillars of the Yanping Palace. ”
"Sir is very right." Zheng Keshuang nodded, his father inherited the throne back then, and it was from the blood.
Just because of the eldest brother's mother and eldest brother, his grandfather refused to ask his father to succeed him.
"What is left now is all in favor of the prince and the eldest prince. If the second son wants to inherit the throne smoothly, he almost can't. "That's a polite one.
In fact, most of the courtiers who stayed behind were diehard loyalists of Zheng Jing. They only listen to Zheng Jing.
"Don't hide it from Mr., the mother concubine can't speak." Although the mother concubine and the eldest brother's mother, Chen, are not young.
Pity...... Chen is still the most favored.
"So, let's get back to the topic. The second son thinks, what will happen to Taiwan Island in the future? This time, Mr. Du didn't wait for him to answer: "The soldiers on Taiwan Island are strong and strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient. The people are rich, and they are good to look at everything. ”
"But Taiwan Island is so big, there are so many people, and there are so many more, where do you live?"
"At the beginning, when the Qing Dynasty was still Emperor Kangxi, my Taiwan Island was very stable. A country of its own. But right now, the Yongzheng Ye who came up obviously doesn't want to let Taiwan Island continue to be stable. ”
"He is not in a hurry, he has already said that he will open the forbidden sea, but he will only open it when everything is ready. The sailor has been training for more than half a year. The ship was built for more than half a year. It can be said that I came prepared. And, even if Taiwan Island has enough grain and grass, how can it be compared to the Qing Dynasty? ”
The floor area can't be compared.
"What does Mr. mean......" Zheng Keshuang was a little unsteady by what he said.
"I don't mean anything, I'm the second son's staff, and my wife and children are all from Taiwan. I hope that Taiwan Island is good. But it's been a long time since the change of dynasty. If Taiwan Island can't be independent, it can't be overturned! Mr. Du sighed.
"Is it possible...... It was ...... by the Qing Dynasty" Zheng Keshuang sat down, very decadent.
In the long run, you will definitely lose.
Even if Mongolia is brought in for support.
"The Zheng family can be loyal to Ming, why can't they be loyal to Qing?" Mr. Du got up and knelt down: "I have no resentment towards Qing." Although I was born and Ming, Ran Ming has no kindness to me. After that, the family was ruined. So, I'm loyal to the Zheng family. It's all for the Zheng family. ”
"The second son appreciates me, and I am loyal to the second son. Today, I said this against the truth, but please think about it carefully. ”
After that, he kowtowed and went out.
Compared with his brother, Zheng Keshuang is still a person who can listen to what he says, and he is neither angry nor suspicious.
Just a long sigh, worried about the future.
