Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Nanjing!

The day of moving the capital is coming.

Zhu Gaoxu hurried back after receiving the news.

Unsurprisingly, when Zhu Di saw him, he burst into curses.

But after scolding, the father and son sat down calmly.

Have you arranged everything in the south?

It's almost done. Let's go to Huating Shanghai Town and prepare to build a customs there.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly tiredly, After the Shanghai Customs is completed, the customs in Tianjin, Quanzhou and other places will have templates. There is no need for me to go there personally to urge and guide.

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded happily.

Finally done something serious!

As overseas countries consolidated their territory and the Ming Dynasty's maritime territory grew, it was imperative to build customs.

When Zhu Gaoxu first proposed this idea, Zhu Di understood what he meant.

The customs is not only to collect horrific taxes on maritime trade, but more importantly, to establish the Ming Dynasty's maritime defense line!

Zhu Di also understood this.

Emperor Taizu Gao implemented a strict maritime ban policy during the Hongwu period and ordered Tanghe to inspect coastal defenses, which achieved good results.

However, the core idea of ​​Taizu's coastal defense was to resist Japanese pirates and bandits, and to comply with the strict maritime ban policy of not entering the sea.

This policy was naturally outdated in the Yongle Dynasty!

Seeing that Zhu Di was deep in thought, Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth to explain a few words.

The five customs offices in Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangzhou are very important and the court should pay enough attention to them.

The basic idea of ​​Grand Ancestor Taizu is to establish a maritime defense system with land-based infantry and water warships at strategic locations along the coast, and to build a powerful naval fleet under the strategic guidance of an ocean-going defensive navy capable of both offense and defense. and a complete naval base, but it’s a pity that he didn’t do it!”

In the final analysis, it is still affected by the sea ban policy. All coastal defenses serve the sea ban policy, and even force coastal people to move inland. This is a wrong choice in itself!

Now that the Ming Dynasty has officially opened the sea ban and officially entered the sea, the overseas kings are also cultivating their own naval fleets. As the sovereign state, the Ming Dynasty will naturally devote enough resources to the development and construction of the Ming Dynasty navy. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will lose control of the sea areas in the future. Quan, this is very fatal!

Zhu Di was surprised when he heard this and nodded subconsciously.

Losing control of the sea area would be a disaster for Ming Dynasty!

The former vassal states will not only lose their respect for the suzerain state, but may even counter-attack China.

Ning Wang Zhu Quan is the best example!

Zhu Di has deprived him of his throne, demoted him to a commoner, and imprisoned him in Fengyang, the central capital!

But with one Ning Wang Zhu Quan, no one can guarantee whether there will be a second one in the future, especially when the Ming Dynasty declines!

Then it is extremely important to develop the Ming Navy and carry out force deterrence!

When he thought of this, Zhu Di laughed and cursed.

So what kind of naval academy are you going to open in Shanghai?

This matter has caused a lot of turmoil. Some people can no longer sit still and have begun to impeach you!

Zhu Gaoxu shrugged indifferently. They were just some clowns and he didn't care at all.

There is nothing we can do about it. If we want the Ming Dynasty Navy to always maintain a level that far exceeds that of the navies of other countries, in addition to having a large amount of video resources, we must also open an academy to cultivate professional talents.

The navy of the imperial court seems to be extremely powerful across the sea, but it is nothing more than a strong external force. It does not even understand the most basic knowledge of marine ships. It relies solely on the previous experience of the old men in the navy. Sooner or later, if this continues, it will be overthrown. The National Navy surpassed it.

Dad, please don't forget that the seven countries in Nanyang are already close to the sea. Most of them are skilled craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding, and most of them are naval officers who are familiar with the sea. They have already occupied a geographical advantage. If the Ming Dynasty does not catch up, sooner or later there will be A day of backlash!”

Zhu Di's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu with suspicion.

Second brother, please speak your mind.

When you reformed the vassal system and allowed the kings to go to sea, was this your intention?

In order to suppress the kings, the Ming Dynasty has to follow your plan to lift the sea ban and develop its navy with all its strength!

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and did not admit or refute.

He had planned this when he first conceived the policy of letting the kings go abroad.

The first is that you can throw the kings out to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty. The sea is also a territory. This is your outstanding achievement. It will be written down in the history books when you go west!

The second is that these kings and vassals will also become the first line of defense for the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is a foreign enemy attacking in the future, they will be the first to suffer, and the Ming Dynasty can respond in time.

Thirdly, by throwing the kings out, the court can save a lot of royal family expenses and avoid letting these guys lie on the shoulders of the common people to suck blood like in history!

The fourth is that once the kings are released, the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy will have to be opened. After all, it is a sect-vassal relationship. The relationship between Lao Zhu's own people must be closer than before. You can't stop them from coming back to see you, right? ?”

Fifth, when the overseas kings secure their territory, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, they will also pose a reverse threat to the Ming Dynasty, prompting the Ming Dynasty to start an arms race with them and fully develop the Ming Dynasty navy.

After all, these overseas vassals are no longer barbarians, but vassal princes of the old Zhu family!

No matter how stupid or stupid our unworthy descendants are, they will always be afraid of these sect princes, lest they counterattack the Ming Dynasty!

And the only effective method is to develop the Ming Navy with all our strength so that the Ming Navy will always be ahead of the navies of other countries. Only under the shock of force will all countries dare not have any thoughts that they shouldn't have!

Zhu Di was stunned after hearing this. He only guessed the first floor, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to be on the fifth floor!

All this has been calculated from the beginning, preparing for the future generations of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for Zhu Di to fall into the trap!

This damn place is really a bastard!

For the emperor, it is a good thing that the prince is wise and outstanding.

But the prince is too outstanding and has outstanding abilities, which makes people a little embarrassed.

Thanks to the close father-son relationship between Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, otherwise any other emperor would have deposed and imprisoned Zhu Gaoxu long ago!

For a moment, Zhu Di had the idea of ​​abdicating his throne and giving way to someone worthy of his post.

How about I give him the Zen position and let him do whatever he wants, and I can live a peaceful life for a few years?

As soon as this idea came up, it grew like a weed!

Zhu Di now understands that the second brother used to compare himself to Li Tang Taizong, and they really have some similarities!

After all, most of Zhu Di's current martial arts skills were created by his second brother.

Without his second-in-command Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di would have struggled to defeat Beiyuan, and he might still be on his way to the Northern Expedition!

Not to mention fighting in the south and north, swallowing up all the barbarians, and opening up the sea frontier!

Mom, I’m a little tired!

Forget about the Zen position!
