Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Zheng Zhilong was in a particularly good mood, and he was full of expectations for this trip to Nanjing.

At first, after learning that Chongzhen was leading people south, Li Zicheng captured Beiping City and occupied many places in the north.

Although he was surprised, he soon became happy after the surprise.

There is no other reason, it is because he knows that only when Daming is beaten very hard, a person like him who has power in his hands can further win over Daming.

Thus it can be reused and gain great benefits.

The situation in Ming Dynasty is even more favorable for him.

Only at this time will the noble people of Ming Dynasty be willing to offer a price that they were reluctant to offer before.

He is a super sea businessman and naturally knows how to do business.

The rarer things are, the more money they make.

The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish is!
Zheng Zhilong knows very well that despite the fact that he has relied on some means and the wealth and power in his hands over the years.

He has gained a lot of benefits and positions in Ming Dynasty.

Looks like it will work too.

But in fact, his own family knew about his own affairs, and he knew very well that to those who were really in power in the Ming Dynasty, he, Zheng Zhilong, was actually just a lowly and small role.

Can't get on the table.

Although he already has a lot of wealth in his hands.

The strength is also very strong.

But for those people, it is still not popular.

The status of a businessman is not high to begin with.

And for a maritime merchant like him, who is in a semi-smuggling state, his status is even less impressive.

It's simply outrageously low.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty in which the civilized and the military were eclipsed has long been formed.

He can be said to do both.

Under such circumstances, in the eyes of those who are truly in power, it is normal for him to be considered unpopular.

It is precisely because of this that after knowing what kind of chaos Daming suffered, I felt excited and full of expectations.

He knew that this time, the opportunity for his Zheng family had come!

So, in fact, after he got the news, he had deep expectations for what would happen next.

He has been waiting for someone from the court to talk to him and do something.

Zheng Zhilong knew that this would definitely happen.

The court will definitely not forget him.

Before this, Zheng Zhilong's status might have been relatively low, and he could not get into the eyes of many so-called big shots.

But now, everything is different!
As the imperial court moved south, half of the country was lost.

People like him who gain power in their hands will inevitably become the targets of their wooing.

Moreover, he not only has men in his hands, but also has astonishing wealth.

In this case, the court will definitely pay enough attention to itself!
I will definitely not forget myself.

The facts also proved that Zheng Zhilong's guess was correct.

Just as he thought, after the emperor moved south, he quickly sent someone to contact him.

However, Zheng Zhilong did not meet with the imperial envoy.

It's not that they didn't meet each other blatantly, but that they made excuses in advance and went out to do something.

A long way off.

It's been dragging.

Deliberately avoiding the imperial envoys and not meeting them.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, I naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity to delay it for a while.

So that we can better see the situation in all aspects.

On the other hand, they want to use this method to increase prices and protect their status.

It makes one's position more stable and highlights one's importance.

The more critical the situation on Daming's side is, the more advantageous it will be for him to contact Daming's side next.

The more you get.

After all, the icing on the cake can never be as good as providing help in times of need.

And the situation behind it was indeed what he thought.

Not long after, Li Zicheng was very embarrassed and retreated.

Many places, such as Peiping City, were handed over to the Tatars.

If Li Zicheng really fought to the death and fought hard, without the strength to fight, he would still be able to escape and people would look up to him.

But when this guy escaped, he still had plenty of power in his hands.

Fighting to the death with the Tatars is still possible...

The Tatars entered the customs and captured Beizhili, and the situation became even more critical.

Zheng Zhilong knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come!

So before that, Zheng Zhilong, who had gone to Nanyang by boat to do some work, came back just in time.

Begin to contact the imperial envoys.

Then I received a shocking news from the imperial envoy.

That was the appearance of Emperor Taizu Gao!
Zhu Yuanzhang came to the end of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to lead his people to drive out the Tartars again and guard the rivers and mountains!

When he got the news, Zheng Zhilong was somewhat confused.

At the same time, I was somewhat fearful and had some fear.

Who is Emperor Taizu Gao?
That is Zhu Yuanzhang!

The maritime ban of the Ming Dynasty was set by him, the founding emperor.

His identity is a maritime merchant, and he is also a smuggling merchant.

Although at this time, he already had an official status, but in essence, he was still a maritime businessman.

Going to meet Emperor Taizu Gao in this capacity was a bit too exciting for him, and he felt like a mouse going to meet a cat.

So Zheng Zhilong made some arrangements.

Make excuses to procrastinate.

Didn't come to Nanjing immediately to see the apparition of Taizu Emperor Gao.

Of course, during this time, he also used all his strength to find out whether Emperor Taizu Gao had appeared.

Is this nonsense true?

As a result, the news coming from all sides, when summed up, turned out to be extremely shocking.

All these things were telling him one thing.

That's the news that sounds so ridiculous, but it's actually true!

It was really Zhu Yuanzhang who appeared.

This made Zheng Zhilong not sure how to describe his mood for a moment.

Previously, when Zheng Zhilong faced Chongzhen and others, he didn't feel much pressure in his heart.

I feel that with his identity, he still has power.

By this time, I had the qualifications to take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate some price with the emperor and seek more benefits.

But now, after the news came, it made him have a lot of worries.

Just when he was hesitant and undecided, new news came.

It was actually Emperor Chongzhen who abdicated and allowed Crown Prince Zhu Cixiang to succeed him as the new king of the Ming Dynasty.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that as soon as the new emperor came to the throne, he actually implemented the three policies of sharing the land with the peasants, returning the fire to the public, and the gentry and the gentry all working as errands and paying for the food.

When he learned that the imperial court announced and started to implement these three strategies, Zheng Zhilong knew that the world was going to be in chaos.

There must be wars everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River!

There will be countless people who will oppose the emperor through various methods.

He had a lot of dealings with these gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and knew that the newly promulgated policies of the imperial court were simply for their lives.

Sure enough, what happened next was just as he thought.

Once again he was right.

Jiangnan is really full of war!
Then, Zheng Zhilong suddenly became happy.

There was some fear in my heart because of the appearance of Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang.

It disappeared all of a sudden and became full of confidence again.

Under the current situation, let alone whether Emperor Taizu Gao appeared or not.

Even if Emperor Taizu Gao appears together with Emperor Yongle, that's no problem!

None of them dare to do anything to themselves!

At this critical moment, one's own home once again becomes important.

Come to see Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang will never dare to do anything wrong.

You will be respectful to yourself and offer yourself a sufficient price!
Zheng Zhilong no longer hesitated, and immediately took this opportunity to rush towards Nanjing City with the imperial envoy to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

While walking, I saw a lot of chaos.

Zheng Zhilong became even more cheerful in his heart.

He knew that this time, he was right to wait.

Sure enough, I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Now, my Zheng family will gain a lot of wealth and play a big game!

Especially after knowing what Kong Yinzhi, as Yan Shenggong, did during these critical moments.

And saw the extremely sharp article written by Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi.

Zheng Zhilong was determined.

Things turned out to be better than the best-case scenario I imagined.

This Duke Yan Sheng is such a good person!

Once again, he felt that he was doing the right thing by waiting a little longer and depending on the situation.

Wait for the party, you will never lose!

But this good mood had completely disappeared by the time we arrived in Nanjing.

Kong Yinzhi's powerful and unsolvable move was actually defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang in an extremely arrogant way and with overwhelming force!
Many rebellions in Jiangnan were also quickly eliminated.

In his opinion, the situation that was going to be earth-shaking was gradually stabilized miraculously.

And as time goes by, it becomes more and more stable.

This made Zheng Zhilong, who had always believed that the party would never lose money if he waited.

I felt a little regretful in my heart.

If I had known earlier, I would have just listened to my son, stopped thinking so much, and come to see the emperor from the beginning.

Those who surrendered to the emperor from the beginning and were willing to do things for the emperor were reused...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt at a loss.

This time, before I officially met Zhu Yuanzhang, I had already suffered a loss.

This feeling is really bad for him...

"My minister Zheng Zhilong and his son paid homage to Taizu Emperor Gao, to pay homage to His Majesty, and to pay homage to Gao's consort..."

In the Wuying Hall, Zheng Zhilong saluted respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Cixiang, and Han Cheng.

The courtesy to Han Chengxing was also a great gift.

Because in the few days in Nanjing, he had heard a lot about this magical Korean prince-consort who came from the Hongwu period.

Know that this is no ordinary person.

In many ways, he is like a god.

Even Emperor Taizu Gao and others were able to appear here because of the Han consort.

Without Han Consort, there would never be such a thing.

This Han consort is simply an immortal. Only an immortal would have such means.

For this reason, when facing Han Cheng, Zheng Zhilong, including Zheng Chenggong, respected Han Cheng even more than they did Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Zhu Cihong.

After all, in their opinion, this Han consort has surpassed the existence of a human emperor.

Belongs to the category of immortals.

In this case, how could Zheng Zhilong disrespect him?

"Get up and give me a seat."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong were exempted from the courtesy.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong at this time was not called Zheng Chenggong, but Zheng Sen.

Zhu Yuanzhang's actions made Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen feel flattered.
He really didn't expect that he would get such treatment when he came here.

Sitting on the golden pier that was moved by eunuchs, I still feel like I am in the clouds.

But if I think about it more carefully, I feel that it is reasonable for such a thing to happen.

After all, what Zhu Yuanzhang did was beyond expectations.

And it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang's power here is far stronger than he thought before.

No matter what you say, the power you control is still very strong.

The most important thing is that the power he controls is the power of the sea.

It's unique.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang must be polite when facing himself and dare not do anything else.

This gave Zheng Zhilong more confidence in finding what he needed here.

Knowing that next, I will definitely get a good result here.

"I heard that your family is quite powerful at sea?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zheng Zhilong and asked lightly.

"Reporting to Emperor Taizu Gao, there is indeed some power in the Chen family.

You can also talk a lot at sea, but Chen's family doesn't do maritime business.

I just hired some servants with experience at sea to guard the hospital.

The purpose is to prevent Japanese pirates from invading coastal people, nothing more.

In the Chen family, rules have always been observed.

Never dare to act recklessly. "

Zheng Zhilong was quite nervous when facing Zhu Yuanzhang.

Especially when Zhu Yuanzhang came up, he asked such a fatal question.

Naturally, I dare not answer truthfully.

The man in front of him was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the person who implemented the maritime ban.

There are some things that everyone knows and I just need to understand tacitly.

But it must not be revealed.

Once it is revealed, it will be bad!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at Zheng Zhilong and said: "You don't have to be so careful, I know what you are thinking in your heart.

It's just that at this time in the Ming Dynasty, the sea ban was still implemented.

But the maritime ban policy was set by us, so you don’t dare to say anything.

Even though I have done many things, I still dare not admit it.

Now let me tell you that we will immediately issue an order to abolish the maritime ban.

From now on, my Ming Dynasty will never have a sea ban again! "

Emperor Taizu Gao actually wanted to abolish the maritime ban? !
Zheng Zhilong was in a nervous mood and always felt a little stressed when talking about various matters such as the sea ban in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said at this time, he instantly became extremely shocked.

No... Is this what people like Zhu Yuanzhang can say?
I...couldn't I have heard wrong?

In other words, the policy of banning seas was decided by Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

It has always been like a shackle on many people's heads.

Although in many cases, this sea ban does not affect their business at all.

Many people have made a fortune from the sea.

In fact, it is precisely because of the sea ban that many of them can make better money.

But it is precisely because of this ban.

No matter how blatant they are on weekdays, if you really count, many things are hidden from the light.

If the court doesn't want to pay attention to you, that's fine.

If I want to pay attention to you, I can explain this article in Huang Ming's ancestral precepts in a minute.

He has long been accustomed to the existence of the sea ban, and he never thought that the sea ban would be abolished.

Especially after learning that Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, had appeared, he immediately gave up this idea completely.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!
This was decided by Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor.

It was even written into the ancestral precepts of Emperor Ming Dynasty.

No one is allowed to make changes.

From here, we can see how determined and persistent Zhu Yuanzhang is on this matter.

As a result, Emperor Taizu Gao actually said that he wanted to abolish the sea ban.

This is really too surprising.

Is this really what Zhu Yuanzhang can say?

Is this... the fake Zhu Yuanzhang? !
"This moment is the same as that moment.

We implemented the maritime ban in the first place because there were always pirates harassing the coast, like flies, which was extremely annoying.

So we thought of directly implementing a sea ban to isolate these flies.

At that time, we felt that overseas was barren and there was not much profit to be made.

But now we don’t see it that way.

It is not feasible to prevent pirates through sea bans.

For these pirates, the best option is to kill them all.

Implementing a maritime ban and strictly guarding it will only make them more arrogant.

Let them gather their strength even more to harm the people of Ming Dynasty.

And the wealth overseas is also much beyond our imagination.

In this case, what else do we need him to do with this maritime ban?
Naturally, it must be abolished. "

After hearing these words spoken by Zhu Yuanzhang, many turmoils arose in Zheng Zhilong's heart.

It became anything but peaceful.

Coming to see Zhu Yuanzhang this time really surprised him.

You should have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would give him a hard time here, or do something else.

But how could I have imagined that he would actually talk to me about abolishing the maritime ban policy.

"Taizu Emperor Gao, you... have your best wishes.

These words are profound and thought-provoking.

However, this sea ban did play some role at the beginning...

Emperor Taizu Gao, you are right. Many places overseas seem to be barren and barren places.

But in fact, it also has great value..."

Zheng Zhilong considered his words and told Zhu Yuanzhang.

Fearing that something he said was not quite right, Emperor Gao, the emperor's great ancestor, became furious and hacked himself to death...

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looked at Zheng Zhilong and said: "You didn't go to Nanyang to do business before, right?
He just walked around in a circle, waiting for many messages to be delivered.

So I want to look at the situation and make a choice.

I want to take advantage of this critical moment to make us anxious, so that you can show up again to negotiate terms with me.

So you can get more benefits, right? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden words made Zheng Zhilong feel that his heart was about to stop beating!
The body stiffened.

The blood pressure has stopped flowing!

The whole person was so confused that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

What the hell is going on?
Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor and emperor, was still here talking to him about the sea ban.

Why...before he finished speaking, he suddenly brought the topic to such a thing?
The words are so sharp and straightforward.

Don't make any detours.

The atmosphere in Wuying Hall suddenly became tense.

Zheng Zhilong felt like he was covered in white sweat!
As for Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, who was sitting a little behind Zheng Zhilong, he was even more surprised.

His face was pale.

My heart felt as if someone had grabbed it hard.

He almost jumped up from the Jindun in shock.

Emperor Taizu Gao, who had just had a nice talk with them and gave them a golden pier to sit on, fell out of favor as soon as he said so...

Did he know that what Taizu Emperor Gao said was true.

This is what my father planned and did.

"How dare I have such an idea?

I went to Nanyang to do business before..."

Zheng Zhilong endured the horror in his heart and forced himself to watch Zhu Yuanzhang say such words.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Zheng Zhilong. This look that seemed to contain no emotion made Zheng Zhilong feel on pins and needles!

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice continued: "You don't need to explain it like this.

The thing is very clear. We can guess right at a glance what else you are thinking about when you do these things.

You are indeed a businessman and you know what it means to raise your price from the ground up.

You want to take advantage of this opportunity to sell yourself a good price.

It's just...do you have other plans?

That is to see whether the Ming Dynasty can win or the Tatars can win?
Then we look at the situation, which side Tohru chooses to take, right or wrong? "

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zheng Zhilong's face turned pale instantly!

The whole person was particularly horrified and confused.

He was naturally confused, because he had met many big shots before and dealt with those big shots in the Ming Dynasty.

When these big shots speak, they usually don't speak directly.

When a word is said, there are eight hundred thoughts and seven or eight twists and turns. It is called euphemism, and it is full of hints.

He felt that people like Taizu Emperor Gao must be more familiar with things than those people.

But who would have thought that Emperor Taizu Gao would speak so straightforwardly.

It feels oppressive!

There are no twists and turns or temptations at all.

It's just like using a knife, and when you are unprepared, a sudden attack will happen!

Make it as uncomfortable as you want.

How could he talk and act like this? !
After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he said no more.

He just sat there and looked at Zheng Zhilong expressionlessly.

The aura on his body was astonishing, like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Next, we will see how Zheng Zhilong behaves and whether he can satisfy himself...

Most of Han Cheng's attention fell on Zheng Chenggong... (End of this chapter)
