Zhu Zhi fought hard to rescue Qu Neng, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not ruthless because of him. Lan Yu was poked by the corpse by the head and commanded the world. In the next month, the case of the Lan Party was implicated. In the civil service, the Minister of Personnel Zhan Hui, Minister of Revenue Fu Youwen, Minister of Revenue Fu Baocheng He Hong and others were beheaded in half; Zhu Shou, Marquis of Chen, Bo He Rong of Dongguan, Huang Lu, Tang Quan, Ma Jun, Wang Cheng, Nie Wei, Wang Ming, Xu Liang, Xie Xiong, Wang Xin, Xiao Yong, Zhang Zheng, Zhu Zhe, Tao Wen, and Chi Ding were all executed. Among them, many of the subordinates of Yu's subordinates were partially subordinates, and the brave and powerful soldiers in the army were all.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally successfully completed the final solution to protect the crown prince, which was to slaughter the experienced generals of this country as much as possible. Zhu Zhi knew very well the result of this story, that the poor little emperor, when his uncle rebelled, the Ming Dynasty, who had once had a cloud of war, fell to the point where there was no general available. The only two remaining veterans Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying were sent to the battlefield.

Zhu Zhi felt that sometimes a person's talent was related to his personality. For example, the honest and friendly Geng Bingwen escaped Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife with caution, but this person's personality indicates that he can only be considered a medium-sized talent and cannot be compared with a general like Lan Yu. Of course, he is even more powerful than the talented and wise King of Yan Zhu Di. He finally returned with great defeat. It is certain that even if one of these founding dukes left behind, Zhu Di would not dare to rebel casually. As the saying goes, there will be a cause and effect. Zhu Yuanzhang's actions are burying his heirs, but he is still ignorant.

Since most of the people who plotted against the rebels were imposed, the air in the capital has eased. Although some officials fell into the Blue Party from time to time, they were all individual phenomena, and the bloody storm in the capital has finally disappeared. Zhu Zhi took the opportunity to protect Chu Zhi and Xiao Ma Wangyu as the commander of the Yulin Right Guard. Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed his due generosity for the reward of Xiao Ma Wang, which was equivalent to exempting the punishment that the Wang family had always been carrying. As for Zhuang De, although he was unaware of it, he had the crime of rebellion, so he could only continue to be a hundred household in the Yulin Right Guard. In this way, the Yulin Right Guard also completely became Zhu Zhi's direct team.

Nanjing City gradually regained its former vitality, and Zhu Zhi also focused his attention on the vassal state. After all, the capital was not a place to stay for a long time. It has been a king for a year. As the situation in the capital settled, it should also prepare for the vassal state.

On the first day of March, a memorial from the Shandong Commander Command made Zhu Zhi smoke and furious. Zhu Zhi threw a memorial from Liaodong on the case. On the tenth day of February, five thousand Japanese pirates landed in Jinzhou Guards. The Jianzhou Guard Commander Wang Xiong led his army to expel them. The Japanese pirates were ambushed. From Wang Xiong, three thousand soldiers were wiped out. Without any obstacles, the Japanese pirates rampaged Xinjin, Fuxian and other places, burned, killed and plundered, and robbed more than 1,000 people, with no count of cattle and sheep.

Zhu Zhi said to Tie Xuan: "It's so embarrassing. Just five thousand Japanese pirates can actually come and go freely in a thousand miles of Liaodong. My Daming Sea defense is so empty, which is really heartbreaking."

Tie Xuan said: "In the first year of Hongwu, Japanese pirates invaded Quanzhou and captured a hundred men and women. In the third year of Hongwu, Japanese pirates invaded Haizhou and killed more than 300 officers and soldiers of our army. In the twelfth year of Hongwu, Chen Youliang's remnants gathered Japanese pirates invaded Ningbo Prefecture, besieged for three days, killed people and robbed people, and destroyed countless crops and mulberry fields outside the city. The Japanese plague was getting worse and worse, and the sea border was not peaceful."

Zhu Zhi tried Tie Xuan with a heart, "How could a million soldiers in the Ming Dynasty be helpless against a small Japanese pirate?"

Tie Xuan said: "We have thousands of miles away from the coast of Ming Dynasty. The Japanese pirates are uncertain. They come and go as soon as they say they want. They are hard to defend against. Moreover, most of the Japanese pirates are desperate people, with excellent weapons and strong combat power."

Zhu Zhi shook his head. Even if he was like Tie Hyun, his thinking was still in the negative defense stage. It seemed that he should inspire him and said, "Why do we only know how to defend one after another, but not when we fight to Japan?"

Tie Xuan said: "The former Yuan Hu chief Kublai Khan raised troops across the sea to attack Japan twice, but they were blocked by strong winds. The attack on the sea of ​​Japan is a natural barrier. The cost of building a ship and crossing the sea is too high, and it is not supported by our financial resources."

Zhu Zhi said: "What the Dingshi says is bad. Although the cost of building a ship and crossing the sea is too high, as far as I know, Japan produces a lot of silver. After the battle, it can solve the problem of silver in our country."

Yang Rong interrupted, "Your Highness, this Japanese country belongs to our vassal state. He bows down to our dynasty and cannot conquer us even if he is polite."

Zhu Zhi was helpless. He was really a group of corrupt scholars. He was a country that secretly condoned the rule of pirates to burn, kill and loot in China under the guise of vassals. Some of these Japanese pirates even appeared to be envoys, and brought private goods that were ten times more than tribute to sell them in the Chinese market to make huge profits. When buying and selling goods, these people forced to buy and sell them, and did everything they could do. They all carried weapons, and when they met the Ming army, they pretended to be tribute envoys, and once no one cared about them, they would be a disaster.

Most of the weapons of the Japanese pirates were made of Japanese steel. They were indeed sharper than the weapons used by the Ming army, but this could not be a reason to be defeated. Facts proved that in the future, Qi Jiguang, the Qi army built with appropriate tactics and good training, eventually defeated the Japanese pirates. However, the Japanese pirates had been plaguing the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, and Zhu Zhi was determined to help the coastal people solve this important problem.

Zhu Zhi said: "Mianren, it is true that Japan is my vassal, but if he instigates pirates to act as Japanese pirates, he will be guilty. If we ignore the disaster of Japanese pirates and let him develop. How can we be worthy of the people along the coast? In the future, when we arrive in Liaodong, the Japanese pirates are also our disaster. If we do not eliminate them, I will not be able to sleep."

Yang Rong said seriously: "Your Highness has taught me a lesson. However, our dynasty has never attached much importance to the Japanese pirates. I am afraid that your highness will only have the ambition to pacify the Japanese, but it will not receive support from the court."

Zhu Zhi said: "The court does not do it, we do it, and the court does not support it, I still want to pacify the Japanese. The most important thing in pacifying the Japanese pirates is the sea. If we only defend on land and the Japanese pirates come to harass us, we can only passively defend. So after we arrive in Liaodong, I will change this strategy to take the initiative to attack, build ships and cannons, and one day to attack Japan. Since they don't care, we should take care of it for him."

Tie Xuan said: "That's true, there are no navy in Liaodong."

Zhu Zhi said: "If you don't have it, you can practice it. Build a ship in a year, train troops in a year, and put the Japanese in three years. This is the strategy I consider to pacify the Japanese. The most important thing is to build ships. Do Dingshi know where our dynasty has the highest shipbuilding skills?"

Tie Xuan said: "Quanzhou has been an important port in our country since the Song Dynasty, and the shipbuilding technology there is the best. In addition, I know that Fang Guozhen came to surrender in the past and brought many drawings of ships. If he could borrow some and find some shipbuilding craftsmen, he should be able to build long-distance warships. However, the construction of ships consumes a lot, and even the court will find it difficult to have such financial resources."

Zhu Zhi said: "The money is easy to deal with, the key is the ship's drawings and craftsmen. I wonder if you are willing to help me quell the Japanese pirates?"

Yang Rong and Tie Xuan both bowed together and said, "I hope to follow Your Highness to pacify the Japanese."

Zhu Zhi said: "Okay, Dingshi, you go to the Ministry of War to borrow these ship drawings first. I will go to court tomorrow and ask my father Bingming for his support."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to care about the Japanese pirates, but he had no energy at all. He was very helpless in facing Zhu Zhi's comments. What he lacked in to quell the Japanese pirates was silver, building ships and cannons, which did not require money. Since the year of Hongwu, the country has earned about 30 million stones per year, and has been fighting for many years. The treasury has not had any extra silver to build ships.

Zhu Zhi boasted to Zhu Yuanzhang that as long as he delegated power to establish a fleet for him, the Japanese pirate rebellion could be suppressed within five years. Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested in his proposal and asked him what he could do to make money. Zhu Zhi proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang for the third time to trade in Liaodong.

Zhu Zhi said: "Businessmen compete for fame and profit, but they actually bring a lot of income to the country. In the Song Dynasty, business prosperity brought the country 20 million taxes every year, which could almost be equivalent to the annual income of the Ming Dynasty. Furthermore, the rise of business in Liaodong has another meaning, using goods to dump the Hu people and implement the strategy of pacifying Hu. Father, can the emperor first be piloted in Liaodong, and then improve it depending on the situation. If done well, not only does Liaodong not need to spend a son, but perhaps he can pay taxes to the court in a few years." Zhu Zhi proposed the special zone strategy of designer Deng in the future. Starting from one place, success or failure is piloted in Liaodong.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and it might not be a solution. Liaodong is far away from the Central Plains, and even if there are disadvantages, it may not affect the foundation of the Central Plains. As for whether it is money or not, it doesn't matter. Can you, Liaodong alone, support a country? After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to let Zhu Zhi first experiment in developing commerce and unleash the maritime ban. In addition, maybe he built a navy, but the condition was that he could not ask the court for a penny.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's nod, Zhu Zhi finally felt relieved. He knew very well that his development after he arrived in Liaodong would easily arouse suspicion from the court. If he did not set some foreshadowing early and came to work in the future, it would be much more troublesome.

After Zhu Zhi had the "Shangfang Sword", he immediately ran to his father-in-law Guo Ying's house to borrow 3,000 taels of silver. Guo Ying saw that Zhu Zhi didn't say anything, so he didn't want to ask. Since the prince and son-in-law spoke, 3,000 taels were a little stingy, so he simply borrowed 5,000 taels at a time. Zhu Zhi squeezed out two thousand taels from his own expenses and handed them over to Guo Ming, and ordered him to hire shipbuilding craftsmen in Wenzhou, Taizhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places in Zhejiang Province. It is stipulated that each person and each household should pay 20 taels of silver, and the annual salary is tentatively set at 10 taels of silver a year, and the salary is prepaid for two years. Zhu Zhi instructed Guo Ming to recruit craftsmen with real materials, and the number of people is better.

Tie Xuan also borrowed ship drawings from the Ministry of War, which opened Zhu Zhi's eyes. It turns out that our ancestors could have built such huge ships in such an early era. It seems that Zheng He drove such a ship to the West, and those small countries were not like alien visitors when they met. It turned out that by the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, our country's ships were mainly blessed ships, broad ships and sand ships.

The most important level is Fu Ship. This ship named after its origin is as tall as a building, with a sharp bottom and wide top, high head and tail, and guard plates on both sides. The entire ship is divided into four layers, with earth and stone basins installed on the lower floor, soldiers on the second floor, the third floor is the main operating place, and the upper floor is the combat place. Generally, weapons such as artillery, beds, crossbows and other weapons are placed on the upper floor, and bows, arrows and artillery are launched at the same time, which can often defeat the enemy. The Fu Ship is high in the head and has a strong impact device. It can plow and sink the enemy ship by wind and pressure, and it is often used to win. The Fu Ship draws four meters and is an excellent warship in the deep sea. The Fu Ship has four or five thousand materials (stones), which is equal to four or five hundred tons, and can carry more than two hundred people; the smallest is two or three thousand materials can carry hundreds of people.

This kind of ship suitable for oceans has achieved the performance of a sailing ship in Europe to some extent. According to records, Columbus's flagship "Saint-Maria" is only more than 80 feet long and has a displacement of about 233 tons, Magellan's flagship "Trinida" has a displacement of only 110 tons, and Da Gama's flagship "Saint-Gabriel" is only 400 tons. This has happened at least a hundred years later.

The coolest thing is the Guangbo ship. This thing is simply the iron-clad ship of the Ming Dynasty. The Guangbo ship is actually a Guangdong ship. According to the drawings, it is "used with iron chestnut wood, and the lucky ship is particularly huge and strong. The two users can use the Bolang machine and throw fireballs. It can accommodate hundreds of people, with a sharp bottom, a wide head and a high tail, three levels of trunk towers, three masts, and a wooden female wall and a cannon bed. The middle is four layers: the bottom solid earth and stone; the next is the sleeping place; the next is the left and right, there are six doors, and the middle is the water cabinet, and the sails are all on the same side. The top is like a terrace, a ladder is climbing, and a wing board can be used to fight. The arrows, stones and fireworks are all over the wind."

Why was a country that could build such ships 600 years ago left behind by the world in the Age of Discovery? And the same was true for muskets. Since modern times, firearms ended the barbarian cavalry, but in the late Ming Dynasty, the army with the world's most advanced firearms was defeated by Manchu cavalry.

These drawings eloquently show that a country's backwardness is definitely not just a technological backwardness, but the real root of the disease lies in its body. If a person's brain is sick, even if he has strong limbs, he will eventually end up being bullied and destroyed.

Zhu Zhi's hands were trembling, his heart was trembling, and cold sweat was falling down his back. Why has this nation been left behind by the world since the 17th century? Does it have nothing to do with its ability to have such powerful ship technology, and blindly banned seas and retreat? Since it has come to this great era, it must change this history.

The Chinese nation, why are you so many destiny? Why do your body always suffer a lot of suffering? As your son, in order to make you stand up again, you have the responsibility and the responsibility to dedicate everything you have, even if you include life.

Zhu Zhi ordered the master of the mansion to reprint the set of drawings twice and return the original drawing to the Ministry of Revenue. He pondered the drawings every day. Zhu Zhi only gained some impressions from the online game of the Age of Discovery. He took the chicken pen he "invented" and wrote and painted on paper, creating a great ship design.

A ship building was added in front of the lucky ship, which seemed to be called a forecastle. He was not very clear about what it did. However, Western sailing ships seemed to be like this, and there was always a reason for it. He also drew a front mast on the bow. He understood this principle, in order to hang spinnakers. Of course, he didn't understand what the use of spinnakers was. It seemed that those masts were very high, and for three masts, there were sails and spinnakers, which was probably like this. Yes, you have to note that you can't use wooden sails, but cloth sails. Zhu Zhi looked at his design with satisfaction, which was already very imagining with Western sailing ships.

Zhu Zhi's wishful thinking was very loud. Why is it like this? It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it. Didn't he hire a shipbuilder? He only used creativity and digestive techniques to figure out the principles, but he still had to do it. It is estimated that the principles of shipbuilding are the same in the world. Those craftsmen can naturally find the trick after studying it. Just like Jiao Zilong, professional is professional. After reminding him, he even had the essential products for home travel, such as a high-difficulty, to kill people and rob people, and he immediately understood it.

Speaking of Jiao Zilong, Zhu Zhi couldn't help but miss him a little. He has been busy with major issues recently and has forgotten him completely. It is time to go and see him. Zhu Zhi has "used his power for personal gain" to transfer Jiao Zilong into the front camp and tied up his own chariot.

On that day, Zhu Zhi wandered around the Governor's Office in the Five Army for an hour, then hurriedly withdrew his troops back to the camp, taking Xiao Ma Wang, Chu Zhi, Qu brothers, and Zhuang De and other trusted generals to the Shenji Camp.
