Chapter 255 Zhu Gaochi is back(2/3)
As for Angkor and Champo, they are just two small countries. The entire area of Angkor is not as large as that of the region under the jurisdiction of Beijing.
You should know that east of Nei Sanguan, south of Yongguan, west of Shanhaiguan, north of the Yellow River, Baoding and Hejian are all within Zhili and belong to the Zhili area.
"Your Highness, should you give them a peace agreement as a treaty first?" Xia Yuanji said indifferently. In his heart, he actually wanted to promote this matter very much.
As long as the court really gives them a peace agreement, if the court wants to send troops, their civil servants will have reason to resolve the issue.
Fang Shiyu said: "Well, this thing, I suddenly had an idea. Do you want to listen?"
Yang Yu, Xia Yuanji, Chen Di bowed and said, "I'm sorry to listen."
Nodding slightly, Fang Shiyu said: "It's very simple. It's just to change this thing, completely change it, let the four countries on the Southeast Island merge, let them merge, the four royal families form a cabinet, and handle all government affairs in the territory." "If they want to ensure their own power and status, give up military confrontation, send troops to the court, take over, defend, prepare for war, and suppress rule."
"I have thought of their names. Little China Federation, look, that's it?" Fang Shiyu sneered and looked at Yang Yu and the other two said.
Xia Yuanji was slightly stunned. Chen Di had dealt with the Gentiles a lot and said directly: "Your Highness, no one will agree to this matter."
"Don't agree? If you don't agree, you don't agree. I didn't ask their consent. Zheng He had already returned from Australia and brought back 20 million stones of food. At the latest, he would land in Guangzhou Port on more than April 10th."
"Isn't it solved the problem if the grain is sent directly to Yunnan and Guizhou? What are you afraid of?"
Fang Shiyu shook his head and wanted him to ensure that he would not invade and not give up some sufficient benefits. Isn’t it just a whimsical and crazy dream?
Fang Shiyu is not a charity person. He has to take charge of the operation of the entire empire and the countless people in the world who are full and not fighting? The population is not consumed, and the land is used up sooner or later.
For other countries, fighting is a terrifying thing and may exterminate the clan, but the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of starting a war. While the population is consumed, it can acquire new land, so that more people can be raised and a larger scale of war can be started.
Consume more people and obtain larger and better land.
"I'm here today, and I'm not talking about this. They sell it if they want to sell it. If they don't want to sell it, we can also go to the vassal kingdom to sell it. The vassal kingdom has a small population, a large number of sales, and a low price. Isn't this money sent to our family better than to others?"
"By the way, since they are asking to sell food, starting this year, the court is preparing to restrict tribute and trade in the four Southeast countries."
"Let the Xiping Hou find out clearly that the border does not allow east-west transportation from land to southeast island."
Fang Shiyu chuckled, "They asked themselves to have problems, so I won't solve this problem. Isn't it good for those who solve the problems directly?"
It was really because the court had the will but lacked strength. Otherwise, how could the four Southeast countries make such requests with the Ming Dynasty at the negotiating table?
"Your Highness, you won't be..." Xia Yuanji looked at Fang Shiyu in shock. Fang Shiyu did not allow trade. Didn't that characterize the four Southeast countries as enemy countries?
If this is true, even if it won't take long, the court will really send troops to start the process of conscripting the four Southeast countries.
"Hey, I just established four Protectorate Mansions, and the Wuying Palace is still discussing who will serve as the first left governor. It is obvious that the three Protectorate Mansions give them a share, which is not enough."
"Soon and evening, I will establish the Annan Protectorate in the southeast, Dingnan Protectorate, and add a piece of meat to it. Now, let's not talk about this, what will the cabinet plan to do if Luchuan requests surrender?"
Fang Shiyu shrugged. On the southeast island, a Protectorate was really too big. The court arranged a huge Annan Protectorate next to him, which was really life-threatening.
The Southeast Island was divided into three parts, the Jiaozhi Administrator ruled the entire East Coast, guarded the South China Sea area, and expanded the influence and military strength of the Ming Empire in the South China Sea.
The west coast is handed over to the governor who the emperor can trust, and the middle area is left to the governor's office of the seven armies. While surrounding the Annan Protectorate on both sides, there are also large troops from the court in the north Yunnan and Guizhou areas. Only in this way can we ensure that the southern Protectorate will not threaten the rule of the court.
"I really want to attack the Southeast Island?" Xia Yuanji sighed. He had no choice but to face Fang Shiyu. The imperial court sent troops, and the emperor had to discuss with the Governor's Office of the Seventh Army.
The aftermath is the problem that the six cabinet ministries need to solve.
"According to Your Highness's order, Luchuan has been merged into Uszangdus, Ladakh requested to be attached, and Bhutan requested to be attached."
"The court approved it. After Ladakh neighbouring, the court negotiated with the Mughal dynasty in the subcontinent for the first time. Their country was large and had a large population, but its development was very slow."
"And according to the news received by the Ministry of Rites, the Mughal dynasty had solidified the upper and lower systems and the existence of the caste system, which left the lower-level people with no room for growth."
Yang Yu and Chen Di spoke.
But at this time, Fang Shiyu crossed his hands and said in a deep voice: "Uszang is too big. I haven't figured out how to divide it yet. But now the court is stable, and there will be no big problem in dividing Uszang."
"I mean, divide Uszang into five governors, Luchuan governors, East-West-Tibet governors, Yushu governors, and Qinghai governors."
"Dissolve Uszang into five governors, and five local officials were freed to have the positions of bans. This is the civil servant, the local army, the punishment and arresting room, and this is the Governor's Office of the Seventh Army."
"In addition, the population is too small, and the court should vigorously immigrate to guard the border. By the way, the Ministry of Revenue has set a policy to give birth to families with five children a reward of 70,000 guan of treasure money. For each additional one, 50,000 guan of treasure money will be given."
"There is no cap on the top."
"Only for civil and civil, business, literati and officials do not enjoy this policy." Fang Shiyu's heart moved, and Uszang dismembered the people of the court. The population of the court must be mobilized.
Taking Uszang, the Qinghai Provincial Administration Office can also raise horses and sheep. East-West Tibet requires a large number of officers and soldiers to manage and reclaim. As long as he can handle the Southeast Island and seven Protectorate Palaces in his lifetime, the Ming Dynasty will be enough.
Just as Fang Shiyu, Yang Yu and others were exploring the conversation, Wei Hongcai ran in with a smile on his face and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are back. You are back!"
"Who is back?" Fang Shiyu was slightly stunned and looked at Wei Hongcai and said.
With a smile on his face, Wei Hongcai said: "Duke Zhenhai, Feng Cheng is back, and Zhu Gaochi, the former prince of the Yan King."
Suddenly, Fang Shiyu sat up and said, "The little fat man is back." He quickly walked out the door. Fang Shiyu had just walked two steps away and looked back at Yang Yu and said, "You can discuss where to cut it and cut Uszang into five governors."
Before he could finish his words, Fang Shiyu had already left Wenhua Palace.
Qianqing Palace.
Fang Shiyu looked at Zhu Gaochi, who looked a little thin, but didn't recognize him for a while. She stepped forward and patted Zhu Gaochi's arms, and said in surprise: "The fat man has become a thin man!"
"It's not easy to live in Ziyin City." Fang Shiyu pulled Zhu Gaochi and sat down, and hurriedly asked.
Zhu Gaochi smiled and nodded, "The ancestor was concerned about it, Gaochi was reluctant to do it in Ziyin City, and did not disappoint the ancestor's trust. When he came back this time, he also responded to the ancestor's will and brought back seven million taels of gold, fourteen million taels of silver, and countless other things."
Fang Shiyu nodded and said, "When people are back, what are these things? Gao Chi, I can't let you go back this time. What are you planning to do in the capital?"
Since Zhu Gaochi returned to the Ming Dynasty, he definitely could not allow him to leave the Ming Dynasty. After all, he really used his own abilities to deal with all the government affairs of the Ziyin Clever.
The Ziyin Cang Mansion was well organized.
"I want to find my father, but I heard that my second brother has become the father's prince. I, the prince of the Yan king, was also named by my grandfather."
"If I go where my father is now, it will make it difficult for him to do it. At present, I have not thought about what to do."
"Do some small business in the capital, make some money, get a wife, and have a child, that's it." Zhu Gaochi had a smile on his face.
With a slight smile, Fang Shiyu said, "No, this doesn't work, how can you do business?"
Zhu Gaochi hesitated and said, "Master, I have heard of it. Yun Xi, Yun Xi, Yun Yan, and the fifteenth uncle, all have shops in the capital. Why can't I do business yet when I get to my place?"
"Can they compare with you? I have a better place for you. How about it? Should I go? A very important thing."
Fang Shiyu patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder and said.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Gaochi said, "If the ancestor is sent, I should go through fire and water."
"Rendongfan Island, opposite the Penghu Islands, on that deserted island, I can't give you much, ten thousand officers and soldiers, and 30 thousand people are strong. The rest depends on your own development."
"I will not only give you Dongfan Island, but also this. King Yanping, you can build your own home in Dongfan." Fang Shiyu smiled.
He didn't move in Dongfan, just waiting for Zhu Gaochi. Now that Zhu Gaochi is back, this colonist can colonize Dongfan.
When the Eastern Federation colonization is completed, the imperial court wants to come back to the Eastern Federation, that is not...
Zhu Gaochi paused and looked at Fang Shiyu and said, "Master, isn't this good?"
"Not good? What's wrong with it? Don't panic! I'll give you this, it's been thoughtful. Think about it, who knows better how to deal with colonial matters in this world than you?"
"I'm afraid it's hard for me. Moreover, there are terrifying cannibals in the East Fan, which are similar to Dongsheng Shenzhou. When you get married, you will be in the vassal state. You must be careful!"
Fang Shiyu did not give Zhu Gaochi any chance to speak. Feng Cheng, who was beside him, was in doubt, but when he saw Fang Shiyu's appearance, he also spoke: "If the prince doesn't accept it, wouldn't he let down His Highness's good intentions!"
Zhu Gaochi looked at Fang Shiyu with deep eyes and said, "Master, this is really not good..."
"The vassal kings from all over the country are far away from China. What kind of virtue can I live in the Eastern Front?" Zhu Gaochi is not a fool, so he can't tell Fang Shiyu's little thoughts.
If it were just to help the court develop the Eastern Expo, and the court would directly send someone to take over, it would be like that. What Zhu Gaochi was afraid of was not the loss of power.
He was just afraid that when he was alive, the court or Fang Shiyu forgot the East Fan. When the court wanted to take it back, it would have to go through war again. Of course, the court would not be defeated. In other words, the mainland of China could fail a hundred times, but as long as the East Fan failed once, there would be nothing left.
Zhu Gaochi naturally had to think about his descendants. As the Ming Dynasty's maritime career became stronger and stronger, the naval warships developed rapidly, and the closer the overseas vassal kings were to the central court, the greater the danger.
Fang Shiyu pursed her lips and looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Isn't there any way to do this? Otherwise, you can stay for five years and build the Eastern Fan. Five years later, the court will send someone to take over the Eastern Fan."
"When you go back to Beijing, I will give you a map. Where do you want, I will draw you where you want, how about it?" Fang Shiyu changed his suggestion.
Although the officials from the court were asked to go to the East Fen, it was not that they couldn’t handle the situation, but the central court was powerless and the mainland didn’t understand it, so they still went to go to the East Fen?
When the imperial court moved to Beijing, Liaodong was still very deserted. Otherwise, Fang Shiyu would not have set up the Liaobei Protectorate in Liaohebei.
The purpose is to develop regions faster.
Zhu Gaochi has more than ten years of experience in Ziyin Cangfu and can be said to be easy to govern the colonies. The entire court cannot find a second one. The most important thing is that Fang Shiyu still has relatively trust in Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "If the ancestor said this, then I will know. Your order is hard to violate, but I just don't know when the ancestor is going to let me set off?"
"No hurry, stay in the capital first, get married quickly, get married, get married, have a wife, have a baby, and go to Dongfan, but don't say that in order to squeeze Fatten dry, I'll delay Fatten's marriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shiyu spoke, "You are twenty-five years old this year?"
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "Yes, the first half of his life has been completed. I don't know what will happen in the middle of his life."
Nodded slightly, Fang Shiyu said: "It's really fast, back then; Lao Zhu joined Guo Zixing's uprising army at your age, and at my age, he had already captured Yingtian and became a prince in Jiangnan."
"It took only ten years before and after. The forty-year-old man had already wiped out the princes of Jiangnan and vowed to the Northern Expedition. When we were forty, we didn't have much to do."
Fang Shiyu said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang's age from 30 to 39 years old was a ten-year spell of the wild growth of Zhu Yuanzhang, or the Zhu Yuanzhang group. From a entrenched in Yingtian, a magistrate of the rebel army, to annexing Chen Youliang, destroying Zhang Shicheng, claiming to be the King of Wu, and going south to conquer Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding.
In just a few years, the great cause of a generation of emperors was laid, and the foundation that countless people had not laid for decades.
