The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1365

[1365. Chapter 1297 A generous gift]

The prince praised himself…

Tang Yin blushed.

He stayed with Fang Jifan and understood the prince best.

According to His Highness the Crown Prince’s temperament, his compliment was simply a shame for Tang Yin.

Of course, Tang Yin’s face did not change and he said: “Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness.”

“I heard that you are very busy now. You have to build ships, be responsible for the Naval Academy of Xishan Academy here, and be responsible for other matters of Tianjin Guard. Military and political matters? “

Emperor Hongzhi is a person who can’t sit still, and he knows best people like Tang Yin who are busy every day.

Therefore, there was appreciation in his eyes.

Tang Yin said: “Most of the shipbuilding is arranged by people from the Steam Research Institute, and I am only responsible for some logistical matters. As for the military administration of Tianjin Wei, it is indeed done by me. Tianjin Wei is no longer the same as before. Just relying on the previous yamen, there is no way to do it.” It is impossible to deal with so many refugees, let alone the rising industries. The minister is an imperial envoy and represents the imperial court. The local government does not dare to make the decision and often consults with the minister to handle the matter. “

Emperor Hongzhi expressed satisfaction with this.

Tang Yin added: “The real trouble is the Naval Academy. The new steamship has new requirements for the quality of the crew. In terms of operation, it must also comply with strict specifications, how to fill coal, how to manage the wheel, and even How to repair… These are not easy tasks. Therefore, non-academies are not allowed to train talents for steamships. They must not only teach them to read and write, but also need to give them continuous practical operations on an existing steamship…”

Emperor Hongzhi He nodded repeatedly: “I originally thought that this steam engine would be usable once it was built. Who knew that there would be so many tricks in it? It’s hard for you. It’s too troublesome.”

Tang Yin said: “I act according to the order, how can I not use my life? Emperor Hongzhi was happy: “Then, come here, convey the decree to the scholar Tang Yin, manage the Invincible Fleet in the East, and then make him concurrently serve as Tianjin’s military and political affairs. If the name is not

correct

, the words will not be correct. Based on this It is always inappropriate for an imperial envoy to control the Tianjin Guards.”

He gave Tang Yin a deep look and said, “Do it well. Your senior brother is doing an impressive job in the Baoding Chief Envoy. This Tianjin Guards must not be allowed to do so. Falling behind the Chief Envoy of Baoding.”

Tang Yin bowed and said, “I will go through fire and water, even if I die.”

He obviously did not understand Emperor Hongzhi’s intentions.

Your Majesty’s other meaning is that the land price of Baoding Chief Envoy has increased so much. My son has bought so much land in Tianjin Wei. You, Tang Yin, must work hard and don’t let those lands ruin your hands. Inside.

Tang Yin said: “The top priority of the Tianjin Guard right now is to sort out transportation besides building ships. This place is a thoroughfare, connecting river and sea transportation. Therefore, what I have to do now is to connect these railways, roads, and canals.” , ports will be connected to each other and become a hub. By then, all the goods in the world will be distributed. Once there is any omission in these four transportation links, this distribution place will be extremely congested. “

“Good point. You got the point, you are indeed Fang Jifan’s disciple.”

Fang Jifan stood aside, very pleased.

Who can teach such an outstanding disciple? Only me, Fang Jifan, and no one else. It’s not me, Fang Jifan, bragging… but everyone here… Fang Jifan’s eyes inadvertently looked at the officials behind Emperor Hongzhi.

All the officials accompanying him were silent.

Many of them want to become patrol officers and will soon start their assignment journey. If nothing else, they should be assigned to a certain mountain ravine, or to the ends of the earth, where they will play for ten or eight years. Niba, now look at Tang Yin’s young age, only forty years old, and he is already a bachelor’s degree scholar. He is extremely valuable, entrusted with important responsibilities, and is high-spirited…

People’s fate…

Many people have a feeling of wastage in their hearts, and they feel sad in their hearts. I’m sorry, all of them lowered their heads, thoughtfully, thinking about something on their mind.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed a little tired, so he went downstairs to rest.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan started to get busy.

In order to deal with the enemy attack that may come at any time, we must be fully prepared.

Changpingwei has been assembled as a reserve team.

In the name of changing defenses, Zhu Houzhao transferred the accompanying Jinwu Guards and headed for Dagukou.

As for the Tanggu area, the Xiaoqi camp was ordered to guard the area.

………

“Your Majesty…” Xiao Jing cautiously approached Emperor Hongzhi.

When Emperor Hongzhi woke up, he took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth, and then he managed to regain some energy.

“What’s the matter?”

“His Royal Highness, in the name of the military commander-in-chief of the world, mobilized the Jinwu Guards and…”

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes flashed.

Obviously, this kid was causing trouble right under his nose.

Anyone who arbitrarily mobilizes the troops around the emperor will be punished by death, even the prince. This is a lesson learned in history. Many princes have died because of this.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: “What happens next?”

Xiao Jing said: “Your Majesty went to bed. Jinwu Guards and Xiaoqiying sent people to inquire, but they did not dare to disobey His Highness the Crown Prince’s order. Finally… finally…”

Emperor Hongzhi He sighed: “If something goes wrong, he is a monster. I really have nothing to do with Houzhao. I have scolded him and beaten him. What else can I do? He is a bold man who dares to do anything. This It’s his mother who dotes on him too much.”

After saying this, Emperor Hongzhi took a wary look at the dormitory. Seeing that he and Xiao Jing were the only ones here, he breathed a sigh of relief and then took another sip of tea: “Let him go. The princes of all dynasties have dared to be so wanton. Those who act recklessly will die without burial, but I am not the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I am not the Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Zhao is not the violent prince Liu Zhi, I am not Li Shimin, that’s all, I don’t care about these things.”

Xiao Jing nodded, and he felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to turn a blind eye to such a big thing, but he didn’t dare not to retaliate. When the time came to investigate later, the prince might not be guilty, and he would die without a burial place.

But after reporting the matter, he was afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would have to deal with him afterwards.

It’s difficult to be left or right without being a human being.

Xiao Jing thought to himself, in this world, every emperor and every prince are different. Of course, we cannot use common sense to guess the current affairs. The current emperor, not to mention that there is only one prince, His Majesty’s character is that he loves himself very much. For the sake of the prince and the emperor’s grandson, he would not hesitate even if he was told to open his heart.

And how many of the emperors of the past dynasties came after my death? They didn’t care about the raging floods. No matter at any time, even if the country was gone, they would still hold on to their power and refuse to give it up. If they had any doubts, they would Even if he kills his son or grandson, he will not hesitate to do so.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly knocked on the document: “What on earth does this kid want to do?”

Xiao Jing looked speechless.

“You can’t answer it?”

Xiao Jing said bitterly, “Slave…”

“Hey, factory guard… factory guard…” Emperor Hongzhi mentioned two factory guards in succession, but shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Jing: “…”

…

A mighty ship appeared on the ocean.

On board the ship Philip I.

Sir Francisco picked up his telescope and looked at the nearby sea.

Along the way, they discovered scattered Han merchant ships, but soon disarmed them.

This is enough to prove that the route provided by Wang Xizuo is correct.

According to their interrogation, this was indeed the route to Tianjin.

This made Sir Francisco extremely excited.

The Spaniards were unfamiliar with the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, from the eastern end of the continent to the western end, both sides have limited understanding of each other.

The official relationship between the entire Franconian government and history is that when Emperor Zhengde was still here, Emperor Zhengde summoned the Portuguese envoy, and Emperor Zhengde was very interested in the Portuguese.

Of course, history has changed now.

The Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao became the prince of the old man.

Among the people, although there have been sporadic contacts between the East and the West, such contacts are not sufficient.

Even in the West, on the Franconian continent, many legends about the Ming Empire appeared, but most of them were suspected of exaggeration.

At this time, the Spaniards were invading everywhere and had begun to expand.

They have even begun to encroach on the hegemony of the entire Franco machine.

Of course… the most important thing is that for them, America is a forbidden area that no one can touch. The Ming Empire has become a serious problem for the Kingdom of Spain.

The appearance of Wang Xizuo instantly gave the entire Spanish decision-makers a new understanding of the Ming Empire.

This is a decaying empire.

They used to be indifferent to the affairs of the sea, so that many people who were excluded from the elite class were exiled and had to go to the sea.

Their army, although unprecedented in size, resembled a frail giant.

When Wang Xizuo talked about the military system of the Ming Empire, he aroused wanton ridicule from the dignitaries of the entire Spanish Kingdom.

It turned out that their soldiers were actually inherited, but they were just a group of civilians working in the fields.

From the Portuguese, the Spanish also confirmed this point of Wang Xizuo.

There are many Han people in the West, and they are scattered throughout the West. The Ming Empire is obviously indifferent to them.

Wang Xizuo’s eloquent tongue made the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Spain realize that this gentleman was an honest man.

Of course…honesty is unreliable.

His Royal Highness the King also gave him a generous reward, enough for Wang Xi to devote his life to the Kingdom of Spain.

An expeditionary force was organized like this. There were more than two thousand people, using the latest weapons and sufficient supplies. There were also Portuguese trading points along the way as their logistics supply base.

Sir Francisco, who was good at fighting, served as the leader of this expeditionary force.

The whole of Spain has fallen into a frenzy. The Kingdom of Spain is eager for adventure. They have always gained considerable benefits from adventurous actions. This time, when they made a great geographical discovery, they used hundreds of soldiers to go As they conquered ancient empires and kingdoms, they were determined to make a desperate move.
