Chapter 129: Whether to open or not, this is a problem
But such a general Pingbo, who had great military achievements, committed suicide.
Many people say that he offended Yan's party, so he suffered. However, Chen Si didn't think so. He thought that Zhu Wan died in two words - "Sea Ban".
These two words are very distinctive in the Ming Dynasty, because no one has ever implemented them before, and even in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, there is no ban on crossing the sea.
But the Ming Dynasty banned it and turned it into a basic national policy, which remained unchanged for 200 years. The reason was silent and did not want to study it, but you only need to know that in December of the fourth year of Hongwu, "the ban on coastal people were not allowed to go out privately"; in October of the 14th year, "the ban on coastal people were not allowed to go out privately"; in October of the 14th year, "the ban on coastal people were not allowed to privately communicate with overseas countries"; in October of the 23rd year, "the Ministry of Revenue strictly prohibited foreign exchanges." In October of the 30th year, "the ban on ban on foreign trade was prohibited in a comprehensive and three-dimensional manner.
Otherwise, what do you think, Lao Zhu has three enemies, "Mongyuan, hundreds of officials and the sea".
Although Emperor Yongle later was not willing to relax him quietly, his sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren did not have the confidence that they had. Only by holding on to the "ancestor's laws" could they sleep soundly, so the maritime ban gradually strengthened.
However, in the Zhengde period, because the sea ban was imposed in the first eighty years, the price of foreign goods became expensive and smuggling became rampant. The officers and soldiers of the garrison were bribed by the sea merchants and did not go to sea to escort them personally. Even if they were very dedicated... So during that period, coastal merchants built ships and went to sea, which became the golden years of smuggling. The later power of the Fujian-Zhejiang maritime merchants was also formed during that period.
Someone is going to ask, what about the emperor? Does the emperor ignore it? The emperor is very busy and has no time to take care of it. What are you busy with? Are you busy playing?
Since the emperor didn't care, it was the ministers who had the final say. Seeing that private private outings could not be banned, they took advantage of the situation and relaxed the ban on sea, recognized their legal status, and collected taxes, which was not the case for the court and all the adults.
Therefore, at that time, several major market authorities no longer prohibited foreign businessmen from coming to China, and domestic maritime merchants also took advantage of the situation. Private overseas trade was carried out semi-publicly, and the maritime ban was basically abolished.
But when it comes to the current Jiajing Emperor, this may be the most twisted emperor after Taizu, but Lao Zhu is the emperor of the people, and the starting point is always good; today's emperor is not like that, he starts from himself... Because the throne is picked up by the roadside, he emphasizes orthodoxy and mainly uses two methods, one is to turn his prince's father into the emperor's father, and then send it to the Taimiao; the other is to hold the ancestor's laws firmly in his arms.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing forcibly declared strict sea bans, closed all ports except Guangzhou Maritime Bureau, prohibited sea residents from going to sea; destroyed large ships of illegal ships; prohibited private trade, and moved Taizu's set out again, which shows the strictness of the sea ban.
It was just that things changed. He was not the Emperor Hongwu who dared to kill all the officials in the world. The Ming Dynasty was no longer the Ming Dynasty that needed to recuperate in the early days of its founding. It was the Ming Dynasty that became extremely prosperous after two hundred years of stable development... Of course, it was only south of the Yangtze River, the two Huai Rivers, Shandong and the capital.
The prosperity of these places needs to be reflected by overseas luxury goods; the already formed Zhejiang-Fuzhou maritime merchants also need huge profits from overseas trade to maintain; those Western merchants cannot give up the Ming Dynasty, the largest market in the world, so Emperor Jiajing's arrangement is destined to be subject to a fierce rebound.
At this time, Tokyo was in a chaotic era. Many Japanese who had lost battles and could not survive in the country followed the tradition of 200 years and ran to the Ming Dynasty to be pirates. So they were like a dirty snowball rolling. Many men who had difficulty making a living due to the ban on the sea and could not return to the country due to the ban on the sea, joined the pirate team and became a huge Japanese pirate. The total scale had reached thousands of ships and 70,000 to 80,000 people.
In fact, seven or eight out of ten Japanese pirates were all "fake Japanese", and they were Ming people who joined the Japanese and communicated with Japanese. Except for some of them, they were pirates, most of them were maritime merchants who could not do business and refugees who depended on maritime merchants. On the one hand, these people plundered and killed and retaliated against the society, and on the other hand, they were closely related to the Fujian-Zhejiang maritime merchants who continued to smuggle.
The two colluded with each other and launched large-scale smuggling. The coastline is so long, and the east is attacking the west, and the inside is cooperating with the outside, so that you cannot ban it; if you are not allowed to trade, I will plunder publicly, and if you rob, I will run away. The sea is windy and waves are high and rushing. What can you do to me? The border affairs are wrong, the country's power is declining, the power is constrained, and the bribery is being carried out on public order, and the public has finally led to this serious border trouble of "Japanese/pirates riots in Jiangnan".
When Silence combined the various information transferred to him and found out that "the original cause of the Japanese turmoil was the sea ban", he grasped the truth hidden behind the chaos - everything that happened on the southeast coast will not confuse him from now on.
So he dared to say with certainty that Zhu Wan was killed by his own cross policy of "leading the ferry boat, Yan Baojia, and searching for traitors", because he was banning the sea.
From this, when we go back to the original incident, we will clearly find that because Zhu Wan's ban on the sea seriously damaged the interests of Zhejiang and Fujian maritime merchants, they bribed the Beijing officials from the same hometown, and then bribed the strict party and attacked them in an organized manner. They first reported to change Zhu Wan to inspect, weaken his power, and then impeached him to "kill without killing", and the court then dismissed Wan's position.
It’s ridiculous that the imperial court sent Zhu Wan to kill someone, but turned around and took him off with this charge. It was really a big deal.
Zhu Wan was strong and committed suicide in anger, and the government sighed. However, since then, the court stopped inspecting the admiral and ministers, and the upper and lower levels dared not say that the sea ban was banned, and the sea defense was abolished, and the Japanese and pirates became even more rampant, poisoning the southeast coast for more than ten years.
From this matter alone, Emperor Jiajing was a complete loser and he was no longer able to enforce the sea ban!
Xu Wei's method of "strengthening naval defense" will obviously touch the sensitive nerves of the "coastal noble family". Which official dares to cause trouble? Who would be willing to report to the court for him?
When he told Xu Wei his experience and uncorked it, Xu Wenchang was stunned for half an hour, then tore his strategy of fighting against the Japanese, and then knelt down silently, saying, "Please teach me Brother Zhuyan."
Chen Si quickly helped him up, but saw the unruly Xu Wenchang, who was already in tears. Chen Si was also sad, and the two of them hugged their heads and cried...
The world is sobbing, and the southeast is crying.
Seven-foot dragon coiled golden soap thread, short spear and iron clothes cross sword!
The peaks on Mount Asu, the dragon flag swept through the sky.
When will the long tassel in your hand tie up the evil dragon in the East China Sea?
From that day on, the relationship between the two became extremely close. Chen Si asked Xu Wei about literature and philosophy, military strategy and Yin and Yang, and Xu Wei asked Chen Si about political power, ways of dealing with the world, and even knowledge such as arithmetic and physics. Both of them had no concealment and had all their money. Sometimes they talked for several days, Chen Si simply asked Chen An to clean up the house in Xu Wei's house and live here forever.
Xu Wei had only one dog, so he naturally wanted to have someone to accompany him, so he happily helped him settle down without asking him for the money.
The reason why silent did not go home was of course not because he was too studious, but because he could not accept some things. He also knew that it was not easy for his father to be a bachelor in recent years, and that it was normal for his father to marry a daughter as his second wife, but he also knew very well that he could not accept this fact and did not want to face it.
Well, let's separate the family, and you won't see it or feel upset.
Moreover, he found that Qingteng Bookstore was really a good place to cultivate one's own character. He read books under the flower stand every day and chatted with Xu Wei. When he was tired, he would feed Dahei. He took it out for a walk, and soon threw his worries aside.
Chen Shu thought to himself: "How great it is now. Although Xu Wei is also an old man in his thirties, he shouldn't have done anything to marry a three-year-old man."
After a few days of leisurely life, Chen Jing came to him.
Chen An was feeding the dog at that time. When he saw the boy's head and thief appear, he shouted, "Chen An, close the door!" Chen An was already very obedient by him, and he bolted the door when he heard this.
Chen Jing asked with a treacherous heart: "What are you doing when you close the door?"
"Close the door and let the dog go." Chen Si sneered, and he really untied the chain of Da Hei. The big black dog that had eaten a lot of his good things really roared and rushed towards Chen Jing.
Chen Jing was so scared that he was shocked, and ran around the yard with a strange scream. Others were clever. After running to the bottom of a tree, they climbed up with their hands and feet, and narrowly avoided the big dog's sharp teeth.
Dahei was very sorry for missing out on the prey. He stood up and lay on the trunk, scratching the bark with his front paws, while screaming fiercely.
Chen Jing begged for mercy, but was silent but unmoved. Chen Jing said again, "I have a happy event to tell you."
"I don't listen." Silently said coldly, but still let Dahei stop.
"Your father is going to ask you for a wife, Bingren is at home. Go back and let her meet." Bingren is a matchmaker. The rule of this industry is that you must first meet him before you can tell me.
"You go back and let him marry them together." Chen Si sneered repeatedly: "You traitor!"
Chen Jing got down the tree and followed carefully. Only then did he realize that Chen Mo had killed him unjustly this time, so he screamed and said, "When I knew, they had already been hired."
Silence stood firm and turned around and said, "Then you shouldn't have joined forces to tease me." It was obviously a lot of anger.
"How do I know that you react so strongly?" Chen Jing smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back."
"Don't go back." Chen Si shook his head and said, "You go back and tell my father that I am not angry with him, and I respect his choice."
"Then you still move out?" Chen Jing said strangely.
