When Zhu Jianshen proposed to send troops to rescue the Ryukyu Kingdom, no one except Han Yong, Minister of War, objected.
The reason for Han Yong's objection is also very simple.
Military and national affairs need to be treated with caution. The Ningbo Navy was founded with little combat effectiveness and little experience. It was created to protect merchant ships on voyages and protect the southeastern coast.
If the expedition to Ryukyu causes damage to the Ningbo navy, then the implementation of the imperial high policy will be postponed indefinitely, and it may even cause the Japanese pirates to have ideas about the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.
Han Yong's objections were like a sharp blade that penetrated into the heart of Ningbo Navy Admiral Zhu Yi. He instantly became unhappy and retorted, "After so many years of training, we have poached so many naval warfare veterans from Fujian and Shandong." , how could it not have combat effectiveness? Without combat effectiveness, who recovered those small islands in Zhejiang waters?
Then, when the situation was one-sided, Han Yong had no choice but to acquiesce. Of course, just acquiescence was enough to prove that Han Yong had grown a lot now than he did back then.
From beginning to end, Li Xian firmly supported His Majesty the Emperor's decision. He knew his situation and understood Zhu Jianshen's character. Any more meaningful words would be questioning His Majesty.
Ning Guogong Chen Ying was more traditional and did not understand naval warfare. However, his eldest nephew Zhu Yi patted his chest and promised the Emperor that he would handle it by himself. It would not take half a year to solve the siege of Ryukyu. He said so. , Chen Ying believed it, and did not say anything about military affairs or life and death.
The most important thing is that Chen Ying and Zhu Yi have a special relationship. The current Chengguo Duke Zhu Fu is too young to bear the family status. Although Zhu Yi has a posthumous title from the Yuanhai County Prince, it is all false. , and it cannot change the current embarrassing situation of the Chengguo Palace.
If Zhu Yi can perform meritorious service this time, it can be regarded as bringing the Chengguo Palace back to its glory and comforting his brother's spirit in heaven.
Zhu Jianshen never thought about handling this matter at the court meeting from the beginning. He gave Zhu Yi and Yang Zheng half a month to prepare for the war, and also to explain to himself the naval battle to save Ryukyu. , how to fight...
Of course, pretending to be bandits and pirates to plunder the Japanese country was not a publicity matter, so only Yang Zheng and Zhu Yi knew about it.
After Yang Zheng and Zhu Yi received the decree, they left Nanjing City and prepared to return to the Navy Yamen respectively. They summoned the Navy generals to make arrangements, discuss, and come up with a definite plan.
It was also when Yang Zheng and Zhu Yi left Nanjing.
Xu Youzhen, who worshiped Yu Qian from Qiantang, also returned to Nanjing.
The emperor's time in Nanjing is now uncertain. Official documents from the upper levels to loosen the restrictions on the people's market have been issued, and Nanjing has returned to its former prosperity. However, the only thing that dare not open is the flower boat on the Qinhuai River. Flower buildings on both sides.
The imperial edict said it would return to normal, but it did not say that brothels could also be opened, and the officials above did not dare to tell the truth. If someone thought that they wanted to have fun and became a point of attack by opponents, the gain would outweigh the loss.
That is to say, the opening date of the flower building that Zhu Qizhen has been thinking about is still undecided.
When Xu Youzhen returned to Nanjing, she first went to the palace to see the emperor to report his duties, and then asked the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture to open all the flower boats and flower buildings.
After two days, the Qinhuai River began to become lively.
As night falls, lanterns are hung high in the flower houses on both sides of the river. Due to the emperor's southern tour, these flower houses have not been open for half a year.
This time it reopened, there were surprisingly many people. It could be said that it was a gathering of literati and businessmen, and the bustling market was very lively.
And the flower boats on the Qinhuai River also reappeared, gently swaying the oars, lingering in the sight of the painted boats on the waves, and couldn't bear to get closer to the shore.
It’s really the sound of oars and oars in the beautiful scenery, and there are so many surprises in sight... Ten miles away from Qinhuai, powdered noodles from the Six Dynasties, beauties hidden in painted pavilions, entering Wuyi Lane, and then visiting Wang Xie’s Mansion...
A young man in gorgeous clothes and holding a folding fan also appeared by the bustling Qinhuai River...
Behind the young man were two fat men, one tall and thin.
The young man was walking along the Qinhuai River, very curious. From time to time he looked at the boats on the Qinhuai River, and from time to time he looked at the girl soliciting customers next to him.
This young man is not handsome, but his face has a sophisticated and steady look that should not appear at this age, and he has a distinguished temperament and is quite majestic.
Although the three people following him were all wearing fine silk and satin, they were all vaguely dominated by him. At first glance, there was a huge gap in status.
Especially the slightly older fat man. He grinned from time to time and whispered something to the young man. His face was flattering and excited, just like the eunuch beside the emperor. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Of course, if you are careful, it is not difficult to find that the dozen or so men beside this group of four people seem to have not changed.
They pretended to be prostitutes, but they didn't look at the women, only the men. No one could get close to the four young men.
That's right.
The young man was His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the fat man who looked like an eunuch was Xu Youzhen, the other fat man was Gao Yi, and the tall and thin man was Zhao Huanong.
At this time, there were a lot of people playing on the Qinhuai River, and one-third of them were guards. However, in order to not attract attention, there were only fifteen people closest to them.
Xu Youzhen was so excited.
This kind of thing of accompanying the emperor to the flower street can only be reserved for those eunuchs. Look at yourself, even though you are an official, you can still accompany the emperor to play without being stabbed. What does that mean? It represents the emperor. Your Majesty truly regards you as one of his own, what an honor it is.
So Xu Youzhen was very excited...
Of course Zhu Jianshen didn't come here to play, he just wanted to experience it.
.The ancient shape of the mausoleum is magnificent, and when I look at it at night, I think of how far away it is. In the daytime, there is a solitary pagoda, and the six dynasties can be seen on the green hills. The swallows are lost in the Huadi Lane, and the crows are scattered across the Liuyin Bridge. Below the city, the Qinhuai River flows smoothly. As an emperor, if you don't go for a swim on the Qinhuai River when you come to Nanjing, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the travelers to tell you about it?
However, he really had no idea of playing.
The maids who serve him personally in the palace are all as beautiful as flowers. They can serve him how he wants others to be served, and they can use whatever posture they want to use...
Xu Youzhen kept chattering with a smile on her face, but when he passed by a small pier, he saw a familiar person in his peripheral vision, and he stopped talking immediately...
This slight change made Zhu Jianshen suspicious. Before he could react, Zhao Huanong had already whispered: "Sir, look, does that person look familiar..."
Zhu Jianshen heard the words and looked in the direction Zhao Huanong pointed.
It looks so familiar.
Wang coffin.
Wang Cun, who was following the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, was actually standing in the noisy crowd, observing the surroundings vigilantly...
After seeing Wang Coffin, Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly. He was here, which meant that his father was also here...
