Chapter 316 Zheng He's Fleet, On the Ming Dynasty

Su Su said again: "Brother Qiang, there is another most critical thing in Nanjing. I haven't said it yet, that is the Zheng He fleet developed by Zhu Di!"

Wang Qiang was excited. If he talked about anything else, Wang Qiang would be a part of being a primary school student with humility. But when he talked about the Great Sail and the Zheng He fleet, he really had to know.

Wang Qiang couldn't help but feel awe: "If you can develop, you really admit that he is the emperor of the ages! The Zheng He flagship treasure ship in the game is so big, nearly 150 meters long and 60 meters wide. It is simply a moving maritime football field. A modern aircraft carrier is nothing more than 300 meters long. Is this true? The Western navigator powers say that the wood structure cannot support such a huge wooden ship sailing on the sea, and China is even more impossible to build a large ship that they cannot build after one hundred years of advancement."

Su Su sighed: "We must believe in the rigor of our historical records. Even the Tengwang Pavilion has been rebuilt 29 times. How can the size of the ship be remembered incorrectly? The biggest controversy is nothing more than how many meters the Ming Dynasty was equal to today. But no matter how different it is, the treasure ship must be more than 100 meters, which is still incomparable to them."

Zhou Tai also sighed: "I also want to know that I only know the ships of the Han Dynasty. If Wang Qiang wants to upgrade the artifact ship, it is useful for me to help, I will definitely help."

Su Su smiled and said, "About the explanation, if we really want to calculate our Chinese navigation technology, we probably have to count the three thousand boys and girls who Qin Shihuang invited Xu Fu to seek immortal medicine overseas. The navigation technology accumulated over thousands of years is probably not comparable to those powerful sailing powers forced by Ottoman Turkey to jump into the sea. Not to mention that the current Song Dynasty should be relied on trade with Southeast Asia, and the Song Dynasty's sailing should also be very developed."

Zhou Tai laughed and said, "I don't understand the Qin Dynasty. It was when my lord Gongsun Quan was here that he developed a route to Southeast Asia, Ryukyu, Taiwan and Japan."

Speaking of this, Zhou Tai sighed: "At that time, the lord wanted to capture natives from Taiwan and Japan to enrich the labor force, so he sent Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen to mobilize tens of thousands of people to Taiwan. Lu Xun opposed it at that time, because the climate was different there and the local environment was not suitable for the local environment, but the lord still went out. Then Zhuge Zhi stationed troops in Taiwan for a year, and the soldiers died of illness. In the end, only a few thousand natives came back. The lord remembered Lu Xun's original opposition that he could not hold back, so he killed Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen, alas..."

Wang Qiang also sighed: "Hey, sailing, we have to make some sacrifices."

Su Su smiled and said, "But at that time, the Wu Kingdom was only in a partial place, so how could it be sacrificed? So this kind of thing can only be implemented by a unified and powerful empire, so the Ming Dynasty just implemented this great cause."

Wang Qiang said sadly: "But Zheng He's fleet was destroyed after only seven times of going out to sea. Not to mention the loss of technology, even the drawings were burned, and he was still banned from the sea. It's true that this is wise for only three generations, and he is stupid like a pig!"

Su Su laughed and said, "Does Brother Qiang think he is a descendant emperor? He has no vision at all?"

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "Isn't it? All kinds of strange carpenters and emperors in the Ming Dynasty?"

Su Su sighed: "It's not that simple. The history of the Ming Dynasty was compiled by the Qing Dynasty. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were also the most miserable. Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the most miserable, were Zhu Yuanzhang, who only knew how to kill people, etc. If you really want to say it, start with the Yuan Dynasty not understanding economic and taxation. As a result, it caused a very serious landlord merger in the Jiangnan region in the chaos, and then the germination of capitalism emerged. I will mention a person named Qiang Ge, must know - Shen Wansan, a wealthy rich man at the end of the Yuan Dynasty! He is also a celebrity in Nanjing."

Wang Qiang browed: "Yes, yes, yes, I know! Zhang Weijian's man had specialized in acting at that time. Chen Wansan started to help Zhang Shicheng. Later, Zhang Shicheng was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang. When Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he held a grudge against him and was jealous of his wealthy family. When Chen Wansan saw that the limelight was wrong, he proposed to pay for the construction of the Nanjing city wall, and then said to reward the soldiers. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang moved to kill the chicken, and then raided his house many times and exiled him to Yunnan."

Su Su sighed: "There are too few historical materials about Chen Wansan, and there are too many legends. There are also legends that the wealth he made through overseas trade is converted into the current RMB of RMB of 10 billion. This is a famous big shot in the modern world. It was simply unimaginable in that era. If this is the case, Rothschild would not be worthy of carrying his shoes. In short, I won't mention it here. Anyway, with this person's appearance, you will know that the capital consortium has been born in the south. What we are talking about here is the bureaucratic consortium headed by Prime Minister Hu Weiyong. They were against Zhu Yuanzhang."

Wang Qiang nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I've watched a movie called "The Big Foot Horse", which contains Hu Weiyong looked down on Zhu Yuanzhang and plotted to rebel."

Su Su sighed: "Because Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a peasant, what he hated the most was the exploitation of peasants by bureaucratic landlords. So after becoming the emperor, he did not forget his original intention and introduced a series of policies to benefit farmers and lowered the salaries of officials. His killing of corrupt officials and skinning was even more famous all over the world, which greatly damaged the interests of bureaucratic capital consortiums, so they were about to rebel."

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "But the rebellion failed, and Zhu Yuanzhang killed tens of thousands of people!"

Su Su nodded: "Yes, kill tens of thousands of people. This is a civil war. Moreover, the result of the first battle between imperial power and capital was Zhu Yuanzhang's victory. Then Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the position of prime minister and established the Jinyiwei, which specifically closely monitored officials. Zhu Di further formed a cabinet and suppressed the consortium with a ruthless move."

Wang Qiang was a little confused after hearing this for a while: "But what's the matter with Zheng He's fleet?"

Su Su smiled and said, "The suppressed bureaucrats are crazy about money, and the court cannot collect taxes and want to make a fortune, so both sides are focused on overseas trade. The imperial court's idea of ​​controlling global trade is to establish a maritime ban to crack down on smuggling, establish a super fleet's maritime hegemony, and monopolize maritime trade. Therefore, the large state-owned enterprise, Zheng He fleet, was born. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban means that private individuals are not allowed to go to sea, only state-owned enterprises are allowed to go to sea."

Only then did Wang Qiang understand something: "What does the bureaucratic consortium mean?"

Su Su smiled coldly: "Collaborate with Japanese barbarians, collude with pirates, domestic capitalists, use smuggling as the form, without taxes, and fight against the court. It is necessary to show how powerful the pirates in the dynasty are. For example, Wang Zhi was a businessman from the Ming Dynasty to become the leader of the Japanese pirates. The Japanese were afraid of him when they saw him. The most powerful one was Chen Zuyi, who ran rampant in Malacca, Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, and even established the strongest pirate in Southeast Asia, who was then captured by Zheng He and was beheaded and established as a king. "

Wang Qiang said in shock: "There is such a thing? Zheng He is so capable of fighting?"

Su Su smiled and said, "Yes, when these two people were rampant, Brother Qiang knew something about Haileding's red beard and blue beard had not yet been born. In fact, Chen Zuyi also looked down on Zheng He as a eunuch, and even more so on Zheng He's fleet was the 'Hetang Navy', so he wanted to grab the treasure ship fleet, but the result was what he said just now. Now Brother Qiang should understand the attitude of the capital consortium towards Zheng He's fleet, right?"

Wang Qiang finally understood: "Severe people's wealth path is a thorn in their eyes!"

Su Su said seriously: "That's right! The capital consortium must destroy the large state-owned enterprise of Zheng He's fleet by any means, and then wait for the opportunity. Emperor Yingzong of Ming, who was young and unable to manage the government, ascended the throne. The capital consortium bribed the eunuchs of the government and dismantled the fleet on the grounds of various troubles and losses. Even the drawings, navigation and technical information were destroyed or sold to Westerners by Liu Daxia. At this point, Zheng He's fleet collapsed, and this is the biggest victory of the capital consortium!"

Wang Qiang suddenly realized: "The traitor has come out!"

Su Su sneered: "A capital consortium, as long as it can make money, it does anything. The Shanxi merchants kept selling the imperially banned salt and iron for Mongolia outside the Great Wall Pass. In short, the maritime hegemony of the Ming Dynasty was dismantled, and the next step was to dismantle the land hegemony of the Ming Dynasty, which led to the Tumubao Battle, which was completely declining in history. This battle was caused by the Emperor Yingzong of Ming who was personally captured when he grew up, and the emperor's main army was wiped out."

Although Wang Qiang was not very clear about Tumu Fort, he immediately realized: "Has the emperor been cheated?"

Su Su nodded: "Yes, the various tactics discussed in later generations are inappropriate, and the emperor is foolish and trusting eunuchs, and all the things are all irrelevant. There is only one reason for this battle. The bureaucratic consortium betrayed and killed the emperor's main force, and all the information was leaked to the enemy. Logistics deliberately delayed the back. At this point, the capital consortium achieved a comprehensive victory and the imperial power was undermined! Therefore, various strange emperors appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, and the emperor did not attend the court for thirty years."

Wang Qiang sighed with emotion: "I'm specifically trying to fight Ming Yingzong's trick! I've been tricking from childhood to old age!"

Su Su sighed: "But Emperor Yingzong of Ming still woke up. After he was released and re-taken the throne, he killed some people, but the situation was over. Capital also bribed the public opinion of the Donglin Party to create momentum to deceive the people and further resist taxes. After Emperor Wanli, the emperor began to reuse a famous prime minister Zhang Juzheng to launch a final counterattack. Then the border of the Ming Dynasty was in a hurry, and all kinds of Japanese pirates, Vietnam, and Nurhaci were all here. These were collusions between the consortium. By the time of Emperor Chongzhen, there was no solution."

Wang Qiang said sadly: "The capital has perished, what's the use of these capitalists making so much money?"

Su Su sighed: "Yes, if you play, who would have thought that the Qing soldiers would actually enter the pass and snatch all their hard work for many years? This is the Ming Dynasty, with two kings in a country, one is the emperor of the court, and the other is the king of capital. If you can't see the role of the king of capital, you can't understand the Ming Dynasty. But how amazing is the United States and the Ming Dynasty today? You know where the problem is, but there is no solution."

Wang Qiang suddenly realized: "I understand! After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about the farmers and was not on the same path as capital from the beginning."

Su Su smiled and said, "So the capital that controlled public opinion in later generations was the worst. Then there was another person who was surprisingly similar to Zhu Yuanzhang. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements were far from comparable to him."
