Zhang Juzheng told the young emperor about the political structure of the Ming Dynasty. This political structure has been exactly the same since ancient times. Zhang Juzheng said that this was the inevitable result of the county system.
Zhu Yijun summarized the basic characteristics of the Ming Dynasty's politics as follows: the delegation of tasks at all levels of contracting, financial intervention through budgetary contracts, and result-oriented assessment and supervision. These three dimensions are the most typical and basic political characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.
This is completely opposite to the concepts of grand unification and centralization, but it is also unified.
Under the design of the Ming Dynasty's imperial system, it would be completely unable to function normally without the emperor, because the emperor had decision-making, veto, intervention, and supervisory powers, but he also had extremely terrifying discretionary power, or administrative power.
The emperor is in charge of Yuan Fu and Yuan Fu is in charge of the second assistant, the cabinet is in charge of the court officials, the court officials are in charge of the six departments of the Jingtang Yamen, the Jingtang Yamen is in charge of the governor, chief secretary, inspector and general secretary of the world, and the provincial level three envoys and the governor are in charge of each department. Each government governs each county.
This is the most typical example of the Ming Dynasty. The lower level of management can only be managed to the next level. This is the basis for assigning contract tasks at all levels.
What Jingtang has is the right to appoint and remove personnel, and it is gradually establishing result-oriented assessment and supervision.
If you complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, you will be promoted. If you fail to complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, the law will give you a low rating. You will be listed as an incompetent person on the draft list. After filling in the list, you will lose your official position. , are more likely to be traced.
The examination method is a supplement to the result-oriented assessment and supervision system. Before this, it was called the Beijing Inspection Plan, and the six books and one account were financial intervention with a budget package. Before that, the Ming Dynasty implemented a system of plugging holes where there were holes. Accounting method that leaks from all sides.
Take the Datong section of the Xuanfu Great Wall as an example. The imperial court gave a total of 1.2 million taels of silver. Any excess is yours. If there is less, you can figure it out on your own. The imperial court sent the Ministry of War to inspect the left and right ministers and supervise the construction of the Great Wall. You If it is not built or is not built well, we must be held accountable, and the responsibility lies with the people.
If you follow these basic political characteristics to pay tribute, you will find something very interesting.
Wang Chonggu submitted a petition to end the war and make peace, and the court agreed with Wang Chonggu's opinion. Wang Chonggu quoted a figure of more than one million taels. The court felt that the transaction was not a loss, so it budgeted for financial intervention and gave Wang Chonggu money. As long as this matter was resolved Once it was done, Wang Chonggu was more or less responsible.
Looking at it this way, Wang Chonggu took the imperial court's money and took the horses of the northern captives, which is very consistent with the basic administrative characteristics.
After all, Anda Khan did not disturb the border anymore, and Wang Chonggu completed the task of calming the border assigned to him by the court.
The account can indeed be calculated like this, because at that time, the Ming Dynasty really couldn't defeat Anda Khan. The generals were constantly killed in battle. Fighting in the fortress meant death. Anda Khan had the absolute advantage of attacking. So for the court, one million taels to stabilize the border. It's not unacceptable.
The accounts cannot be settled like this, because times are changing. Since Li Chengliang took Gule Village, Ming Dynasty is gradually recovering its ability to fight outside the fortress. If it wants to take money from the court again, the court will not agree.
When did Wang Chonggu stop using this money?
Ever since he was kicked out of the Wenhua Palace by Zhang Juzheng and returned to Xuanda to fill the hole, he has been working hard. As time goes by, the imperial court is recovering the ability to reward and punish. If you continue to respect the enemy, it will kill people. .
Zhang Siwei, Wu Dui, Fang Fengshi, and even Wang Chonggu's cousin Wang Chongya refused to give up the money they had obtained, and they ate it without spitting it out.
However, in the struggle with the emperor, the clan party suffered a complete defeat. This had a lot to do with the clan party completely handing over decision-making power to a fool.
Emperor Wanli began studying in the imperial court for the crown prince in the fourth year of Longqing. The evaluation of the courtiers was very low, especially Gao Gong. It was also based on this basic logic that absolute decision-making power could not be given to idiots. Zhang Juzheng believed that Emperor Wanli could be trained Not so stupid.
The best time to clean up the Jin Party in the Ming Dynasty was when Qi Jiguang completely drove Tuman Khan out of the Liaodong area east of the Xianbei Mountains, allowing Tuman Khan and Anda Khan to directly conflict. , so it’s not a half-cooked meal.
However, Zhang Siwei took the lead in making the decision and set off a fire to burn down the palace. If he could not burn down the emperor, he would also burn down the Sanniang's visit to the Hajj. This was a stupid decision and the final result of lack of generosity and perseverance, and also for the clan party. A pot of raw rice.
The ethnic party is not fully ready. It has not bribed most of the bureaucrats, generals, and generals, creating a common understanding that the court is harsh on the ethnic party, and we have to fight against it. Even the greedy silver, grain, grass, and horses have been returned. Didn't translate into combat effectiveness.
Wang Chonggu, his uncle, abandoned the clan party.
Because Wang Chonggu knew very well that it was very stupid to compete with the Beijing camp under the support of the emperor and commanded by Qi Jiguang to increase their combat effectiveness.
As for the ethnic party, a community of interests with the privileged economy as its core cohesion, as far as military pay is concerned, is the northwest ethnic party willing to give even a small benefit to the soldiers who are trapped in food and salary?
The result was as expected by Wang Chonggu. Zhang Siwei did nothing. It was difficult to burn the emperor to death, and the success rate was much lower than drowning. The most outrageous thing about Zhu Yijun was to let the three wives meet on the foundation.
Zhang Siwei led the Jin party into misfortune.
Wang Chonggu looked at the suspicious looks cast by Chen Xuexue and Sanniangzi, and could only relax the atmosphere by drinking tea. He took this money in the fifth and sixth years of Longqing, and in the first year of Wanli, but he stopped taking it later. , the second, third and fourth years of Wanli.
"Later, I didn't even take the money, it was all taken away by Zhang Siwei and the others!" Wang Chonggu was looked at, and after all, he became a little angry and argued for himself.
"Sister Niang, since you have entered the court to negotiate the price of horses and silver, then discuss it carefully. Your Majesty has already pardoned my crimes. It is useless even if you complain to His Majesty. Don't even think about using this as a condition for negotiation!" Wang Chonggu stated that he He has been pardoned. According to the basic rule of double punishment, His Majesty will not continue to pursue him.
Some things I fear most are reconciliations.
Wang Chonggu is essentially a businessman. He likes long-term transactions rather than one-stop transactions. Sure enough, now that the accounts have been reconciled, the secret has been exposed.
The negotiation began. As a follower, Wang Chonggu paid special attention to the negotiation part. He really did not give in at all. In the end, a result acceptable to both parties was formed. The upper-class horse was six silver and five cents, and the medium horse was four silver and seven cents. The price is to provide 50,000 horses per year, and the best horses require at least 20,000 horses.
The imperial court does not want inferior horses.
The Ming court's horse price silver expenditure was 270,000 taels of silver. For Ming Dynasty, it saved more than 700,000 taels of silver for one year. For Sanniangzi, she gained more silver by entering Beijing this time.
The more than 200,000 taels of silver that Sanniangzi mentioned includes the income from border trade. The horse-priced silver has increased Anda Khan's income.
The price of wool purchased by the Ming Dynasty was quite generous. Every year, Anda Khan could exchange horses and wool from the Ming Dynasty for goods worth more than half a million taels of silver.
"I'm curious, why doesn't Sanniang Sanniang bring back some gold, silver, jewelry, jade, silk, etc. every time she does border trade?" At the end of the negotiation, Wang Chonggu had some doubts after knowing Sanniang's cargo list.
There are no gold, silver, jewels, jade, or even silk on Sanniangzi's list. They are all pots of salt, cloth, and tea. It has been many years. The things Sanniangzi brought back from the Ming Dynasty are not for luxury enjoyment, even if they are for the emperor. Zhuang strongly recommends the national cellar, Taishi chair and other items.
The third wife only brought back a few bottles of Guojiao, which were gifts from the emperor.
The third lady didn't answer immediately. She was holding an abacus and calculating the gains and losses of this trip to Beijing.
"I like it, but if you take it back, the grassland people won't be able to survive this winter. You people don't harvest at night and burn the wasteland every year. The burned grassland can't survive the winter at all! The white-haired wind outside the Great Wall is so fierce, how can the people inside the pass be able to survive? Imaginary?" Sanniangzi closed her account book, Ming Dynasty made a lot of money, and the grassland didn't suffer too much.
The Northerners like to go south to plunder, while the Ming Dynasty likes to go out to burn the wilderness. The burning lasts for an entire autumn. This kind of mutual harm is very fatal.
Anda Khan won the battle, but the burning of wasteland never stopped, and the grassland suffered heavy losses. In the fifth year of Longqing, the conflict ended with Anda paying tribute, and the war entered an intermittent period.
The northern barbarians no longer went south, and the Ming Dynasty no longer burned wasteland, and everything was considered stable.
Sanniangzi leaned on the back of her chair and said helplessly: "When the white-haired wind blows, the sky and the earth hang upside down, and everything is white. The anger of humans and animals in the eternal sky is the same under the white-haired wind. Every year on the grassland Some tribes have disappeared in Xanadu, and Monan is slightly better off. In the Oarahe Forest north of the desert, when winter comes, everyone huddles together to spend the winter."
"The outermost are the old people, the innermost are the women, the innermost are the children, and the innermost are the adults."
Sanniangzi was talking about spending the winter on the grassland. Her tone was not intense, but also very calm. She seemed to be stating a common thing. This is how the grassland people spend the winter. First, the old people freeze to death and then starve to death. Women, children, and finally adults also froze to death and starved to death, and the tribe was wiped out.
On the grassland, many tribes disappear every year and become nutrients for the grassland.
Sanniangzi is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. The Ming Dynasty actually does not know much about the outside world. The reason why she said these painful things and opened the wounds to see is to win sympathy and to illustrate her firm stance of peace.
Sanniangzi's remarks can win the sympathy of the Ming Dynasty, and this sympathy will have substantial benefits. The Ming Dynasty, or the unified dynasty of the Central Plains in the past, has always been a disadvantage, a high moral disadvantage.
From the king to the people of the Ming Dynasty, in the current world, the moral integrity far exceeds that of any barbarians.
High morals are both a disadvantage and an advantage.
"Don't you know how to build a city? Once you build a city, the city's wind and cold resistance will be far better than felt." Chen Xuexue asked a little strangely.
It is not that there is no place suitable for building a city on the grassland. In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the city was built on both sides of the Daxianbei Mountain and near the Yin Mountain. In the seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Boluo, the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, sent a letter to Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, to build the city of Yingchang. , and later it became common to build cities on the grasslands.
For example, during the Hongwu and Yongle years of the Daning Guards, there was a saying that there were ninety cities outside the Great Ning.
But as time went by, Beilu became more and more active and went back.
"After the city was built, the Ming army came." Sanniangzi shook her head and said: "Tuman Khan likes Daning Guard very much and stays with Daning Guard all year round. Qi Jiguang didn't catch him and rushed to the whole country. That place in Ningwei?"
What Sanniangzi said was a common fact. In the confrontation between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty, the grassland was not qualified to build a city, because once the city was built, the Ming Dynasty knew where the grasslands were gathered outside the Great Wall and would definitely pull them out, just like Gule Village.
If the Ming Dynasty could catch Anda Khan's golden-domed tent where it was staying, the northwest would not have been fighting for so many years, and it would be impossible to win.
"The Immortal God gave us the ability to survive on horseback, and allowed us to control the bow and string, but the Immortal God did not give us life, leaving us with a lack of pot, cloth, salt and tea. So I am here." Sanniangzi's supporters are die-hard peacemakers. Pies, and the number is definitely not a small number.
"Actually, we also have a more extreme voice. Some people in the tribe are envious of the guards of Xuanfu and Datong. The generals do treat the soldiers as livestock, but Xuanfu and Datong do not need 50,000 horses every year. Sixty thousand bags of wool can be exchanged for more than two million in military pay from the imperial court." Before Sanniang finished her words, her words about "watchdog" were not her own nonsense, but a common understanding.
The concept of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom itself was given by the Ming Dynasty, so the subjects of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom naturally had doubts about their self-identity. Is the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, or is it the enemy of the Ming Dynasty?
The second half of Sanniangzi's extreme voice is: Why not directly annex the Ming Dynasty and turn the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom into a border of the Ming Dynasty? Wouldn't it be possible to get food and salary from the court without having to work hard to herd sheep and horses? This is also profitable for the Ming Dynasty. The northwest does not need Xuanda's annual 2.5 million taels of silver and 380,000 shi of grain to maintain it.
And Anda Khan refused to advance this process for the sake of the glory of the Golden Family!
Wang Chonggu knew that this topic could not be discussed any longer, so he walked away directly.
Sanniangzi asked this question very well.
The Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty had to exchange horses and wool for 500,000 silver. However, Xuanda and Da in the northwest could still get more than 2 million taels of silver after being defeated all day long. The military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty totaled 6.4 million, and Xuanda directly took it. More than two million yuan was taken away. Even if one million silver coins were cut, there would still be more than one million taels left!
Just because Xuanda is a border town of the Ming Dynasty, then if the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty becomes a border town of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't the watchdog also be able to eat the bones?
Sanniangzi received an invitation. This invitation was not from the Jin Party, Chu Party, or Zhejiang Party, but from Sun Jigao, one of the Nine Elders of Donglin.
The third wife saw this invitation and ultimately did not go to the appointment. This Sun Jigao was the number one scholar in the second year of Wanli. However, he was called by the young emperor to debate scriptures and was ruthlessly defeated by the little emperor. The number one scholar debated with the child, but he could not argue with such a thing. It's an anecdote that even the third lady knew outside the Great Wall.
As the number one scholar, Sun Jigao could not defend the child, so he was also taken to the West. Even Felipe II heard Gao Qiyu talk about this interesting incident. Gao Qiyu used this incident to illustrate that his emperor was a wise king.
Gao Qiyu traveled extensively in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and England, and he probably wanted to take this story to these places.
The Sanniangzi came to the capital to negotiate peace, and her every move was under the eyes of the court. Any random actions at this time would affect the peace negotiation plan. Moreover, the Sanniangzi also knew that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not pragmatic, only pragmatic, and peaceful. They talked but couldn't come up with any results, so it was better not to go.
The only pragmatic people in the Ming Dynasty were the chief minister Zhang Juzheng. Wang Chonggu and his like were more like ministers who gathered wealth and profit, and could be considered pragmatic.
Only these pragmatic people are really difficult to communicate with because their way of thinking is too weird. For example, Wu Dui, Fang Fengshi, Zhang Siwei, Wang Chongya and others are all like this. Sanniangzi has dealt with this kind of people before, and she always A very simple thing can be made extremely complicated by these people.
Talking with cheap Confucians will not lead to any results.
The most typical characteristic of a pragmatic and humble Confucian is that he talks for the sake of talking, but never talks about anything practical. He talks in empty words, as if he only needs one camp, and any conflict of interest is just a fool's errand.
However, money, grain, iron pots, salt, cloth, and tea are all benefits.
She then went to the official woolen factory by the Yongding River and took a tour. She was a little envious when she saw the large number of people gathered near the official factory. She knew that the business of the imperial court would definitely continue, and that was enough.
When Zhu Yijun received Sanniangzi, he was not on the foundation. If he had still received her on the foundation, Ma Ziqiang, the new Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, would have committed suicide to apologize. The meeting place was in the side hall of Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Yijun held a long steel tube in his hand. On the long tube, there was a rear sight and a front sight.
The eyes, rear sight, and front sight can form three points and one line for aiming.
Three points and a line are also the result of degree bypass. Three points can only determine a straight line.
Together with the gun holder and gun machine, this is a bird gun.
This is a new gun tube made by the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun is very satisfied with this pipe material. It is not a seamless steel pipe. It is just a semi-finished product that uses the internal cooling technology of cannon making to a cast pipe. It is then made of iron to support a piece as big as a chopstick. For cold bones, carburizing and forging are started. After the forging is completed, a four-sided steel cone as big as a chopstick is used to pass through it to make the aurora clear, so that there is no blockage in the discharge of the powder. The steel cone is then used to boring the rifling. The lead rotates and becomes more precise.
Qi Jiguang made it very clear that the rifling was mainly designed to facilitate cleaning the inner wall of the gun. Later, he discovered the wonderful use of this thing.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty pays you your respects." The Third Lady saluted and frowned as she looked at the various objects placed in the subdivisions of the Wenhua Hall, especially the piles of books placed in the seven display windows.
Many objects here have traces of use. Obviously, these are not displayed for people to see, but are actually used by the little emperor.
"No gift." Zhu Yijun signaled Zhang Hong to hand a fire gun tube to Sanniangzi and said: "The good thing Qi Shuai just made. In the past, the Ming Dynasty could only forge 10,000 fire gun tubes a year, but now the Ming Dynasty can make 50,000 fire guns a year." Got it."
The third lady got the gun tube and knew exactly what it was!
She also has a firecracker, a very exquisite firecracker that she took away from Wu Dui's private residence. This thing is crudely made, but it is an embryo. It only needs to be forged to become a powerful firecracker.
"Your Majesty, a benevolent king will surely rule the world. If you want to be a king, you can only be strong in benevolence! Today, your majesty is surrounded by people who gather and love soldiers. Mencius said: If you are not determined to be benevolent, you will be worried about humiliation all your life. Trapped in death!”
"God has the virtue of a good life! Carry out benevolent government to love and nourish the people, and then people's hearts will be restored, and the king's career will be achieved!" The third lady looked at the fire tube in her hand, and advised the little emperor to implement benevolent government and not to go astray. We are getting farther and farther up there, and we will reach the shore when we turn back!
"No...if Yan Guan told me so, that's all. Mrs. Zhongshun is an outsider, so don't talk about it." Zhu Yijun was immediately amused.
Sanniangzi said that the emperor was surrounded by people who gathered together and were good at fighting. This was not practicing benevolent government. He should hold high the banner of benevolent government, rest and recuperate, win people's hearts, and maintain his rule.
The third lady also knew that it was not right, but she had no choice but to resort to the retreat method. As a result, the emperor did not accept this method at all.
She thought for a while and frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty relies on the power of firearms, but little did you know that these firearms cannot be used on rainy days."
Zhu Yijun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I practice martial arts, and bows and arrows cannot be used on rainy days. You northern captives invaded in summer and autumn, and we attack in the winter and spring of the Ming Dynasty. Each other will choose the right time for us."
The third lady discovered that this little emperor was not easy to fool.
"Mrs. Zhongshun, I let you see this fire blunderbuss to tell you and the people outside the country that the Ming Dynasty was determined to promote martial arts. This is not Mr. Qi Shuai. I am supporting them. I myself practice martial arts." , this is also a kind of support, don't make a mistake." Zhu Yijun's tone was calm, but his words were full of threats.
For Anda Khan, the disputes in Daningwei were a matter of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, but in the coming war, Anda Khan would be on pins and needles.
The Ming Dynasty aimed to completely drive the Tuman Khan away from Liaodong within a few years. Whether the left wing merged with the right wing or took the opportunity to go south to intimidate the court, that was not what Zhu Yijun wanted to see.
Zhu Yijun hoped that the conflict between Ming Dynasty and Ada Khan would intensify and be ignited when the court regains control.
However, he had already eaten a bowl of rice with uncooked rice. If An Dahan insisted on letting the little emperor eat a second bowl of rice with uncooked rice, Zhu Yijun wouldn't mind.
The Beijing camp expanded its troops by 120,000 to prevent the enemy from having enough food to eat.
"My wife obeys the decree." The third lady no longer used her rhetoric and said with a solemn face.
"Mrs. Zhongshun has been running around many times, and the provocations have gradually stopped. The Holy Mother is kind and said that it is not easy for Mrs. Zhongshun. Today I will give you a pair of Ruyi and a big cloak. I will give you a fire gun so that you can do it yourself." Zhu Yijun motioned to Feng Baoen to reward him. The people below have already talked about it. After that, Zhu Yijun just went through the process and gave the reward as a routine.
"Your Majesty, if King Shunyi is willing to annex the Ming Dynasty, maybe the people outside the border will be stable?" The third lady suddenly asked after thanking her.
"I heard from Qi Shuai, Mrs. Zhongshun read the theory of contradiction?" Zhu Yijun did not answer the question directly, but asked rhetorically.
"I've read it." Sanniangzi nodded and said.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "We haven't fought enough yet. Let's fight a few more times until one party completely admits defeat before we can reach a state of peace."
"Your Majesty is wise." Sanniangzi sighed. The imperial court was expanding its army and fighting, and wars would still happen.
Zhu Yijun also gave Sanniangzi a Nuremberg egg-cent watch. This watch can accurately measure time, which is an extra bonus.
Yin Zhengmao, the uncle of Surabaya of the Ming Dynasty, appeared in the port of Manila with a five-masted transoceanic ship deployed to the Luzon Governor's Palace.
When the big ship arrived at the port, it attracted everyone's attention and rushed to tell everyone. Everyone in Manila gathered at the port. When they saw the big ship moored and Yin Zhengmao stood on the bow, everyone burst into loud cheers. The sound was loud and loud.
Yin Zhengmao left Manila. Everyone knew that Yin Zhengmao had gone to get the ship. Everyone was worried about whether he could get it.
Got it.
Zhang Yuanxun was moved to serve as a reinforcement by Ling Yunyi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so it was Deng Zilong who took over the ship.
After reading the imperial edict, Deng Zilong wondered for a long time before saying: "Sure enough, it is the same as our guess. Yin Butang is indeed a member of the Zhu family of the royal family who is living abroad. They all have the national surname!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yin Zhengmao held his forehead, this joke was completely unbearable.
"Has Hong Mao Fan's big ship arrived at the port?" Yin Zhengmao was more concerned about this issue. This year's big ship was later than in previous years.
"Here he is, he's not here either. Antonio has already arrived. Let's talk about it when we meet." Deng Zilong glanced at Luo Lian and sighed.
Antonio looked lonely and smelled of alcohol. After Deng Zilong's retelling, Yin Zhengmao knew what happened.
Antonio has five large sailing ships. Last year, three came and two almost got lost. But this time, three came and two completely disappeared in the boundless sea.
One ship was directly cut in half by a huge wave that suddenly rose out of the water, and some sailors were rescued, while the other ship got lost. A ship without a captain who got lost at sea is equivalent to being declared dead.
In Thai and Western culture, a treacherous wave is a water column ejected by a sea monster. It is a strange giant wave ten feet high that appears suddenly and for no reason under calm conditions. It comes and goes as fast as it comes.
Antonio's mood has not been very high. When he saw the Ming Dynasty's five-masted and twenty-one-sail ship, Antonio finally regained consciousness.
"This ship was still in the dock of Songjiang Prefecture last year. Will it be in the hands of Governor Yin this year?" Antonio looked at the five-masted ocean-going ship in horror. He remembered that he donated a lot of crops last year. , Emperor Ming was very happy and finally agreed to invest and support Antonio.
And this boat, the Ming Emperor promised to sell it to Antonio.
Yin Zhengmao stood on the pier, looked at the five-masted ocean-going ship, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, if you want to buy it, you have to go to the capital and ask for His Majesty's edict. The Daming Shipyard is building twelve five-masted ships. The mast crosses the ocean ship."
"Really? It really solved the urgent matter that burned my eyebrows. How do you say that word? Oh, urgent." Antonio was so lucky to go to Beijing last year to donate treasures. It was a blessing to be able to buy a ship from the Ming Dynasty. thing.
Ocean-going ships must have multiple ships to share risks. The most important silver is placed on his flagship. He has money but no ships. This is what troubles him the most.
When he saw the five-masted ocean ship, Antonio became extremely happy.
An ocean-going ship more advanced than a large sailing ship.
Yesterday I posted a screenshot in the group. It was about merchants from the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, who called themselves the watchdogs of the Ming Dynasty. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
