Chapter 1192 Still this operation?
I kept talking until the mouth of the three vassal kings was dry, and I really didn't want to talk about it.This is the first time in my life that I have encountered this situation, and it is really welcome!
Emperor Chongzhen had been listening, and felt that the three vassal kings had said almost the same thing, so he stopped the free questioning.Then, he looked at so many vassal kings of various ages and said: "The distribution of vassal kings overseas is beneficial to Ming Dynasty and also beneficial to the vassal kings. It can be called a win-win situation! Therefore, I plan to put All the vassal princes of Ming Dynasty were sealed off. Of course, including my son."

Looking at the eyes staring at him, he knew what these vassals were most concerned about, so he continued: "As for where the vassals will be entrusted, it is hard to say for the time being. After all, as far as the vassals are concerned, there is no Therefore, I decided to follow the model of Tang Wang, Fu Wang and others. Do you have any objection to this?"

The emperor was right. The vassals looked at each other and responded in unison: "I have no objection!"

After finishing speaking, these vassal kings hesitated to speak, and looked at other vassal kings, as if they wanted others to mention it first.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew what they wanted to ask, but he didn't say it right away, he just nodded, and then two servants pushed a screen and unfolded it in front of the vassal lords. "The Complete Map of Kun Yu Wan Guo" drawn by Li Zhizao, the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple.

When all the vassal kings saw it, they immediately set their eyes on this map.Their eyeballs rolled, looking here and there, looking at them, as if what they saw was a cake, and these vassal kings were thinking about which piece to eat!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought of something in the textbooks of later generations.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the great powers of various countries stared at China's map to divide their spheres of influence, and later published a cartoon called "Current Situation Map", which was used to satirize this matter.

Ah, what a careless one, and now it has become Daming's division of others' territory, sin, sin!

Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, but his expression didn't change. Obviously, he didn't care.In other words, instead of allowing others to carve up one's own territory like in the original history, it is better to be stronger now and to carve up other people's territory!

At least, today's Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country on Earth no matter what aspect it is!But now, there are still many places on the earth where primitive and backward tribes live. They need Ming to liberate them!

Hey, it seems that for this reason, it seems that those great powers from another plane will also use it?

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think of anything, so he stopped thinking about it.No matter what, I am the emperor of Ming Dynasty, so I have to be responsible for the people of Ming Dynasty, that's all!

After those feudal kings looked at it for a while, he stood up and walked down, came to the front of the screen, then looked at the feudal king who had stepped back a few steps and said: "This world map is probably accurate. Now... "

As he spoke, he began to point out to the prince.

"This is the country of Tang, this is the country of Fu, and this is the country of Yi!" Having said this, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to Laos and said, "As far as the present is concerned, I have received requests from the people of Nanzhang to entrust Daming to the vassal. Therefore, I have decided that the next place to enfeoff the feudal lord will be Nanzhang."

Hearing this, King Fu was obviously a little disappointed.Before that, he had been thinking about whether this place could be merged into Fuguo.When he came to the capital this time, it was with this purpose that he wanted to see the emperor alone and talk about it.But unexpectedly, the emperor had already said it in public, and there was nothing to discuss about Nanzhang's plan.

But he didn't know that, in principle, the land and territory of the feudal states adjacent to Daming should not be too large!

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he saw that the eyes of many vassals started to glow green, and he said again: "But in the final analysis, the Nanzhang was defeated by the imperial court. to pay."

After finishing speaking, he guided Yang again: "Next, in order to solve the risks of benefiting and benefiting the country, the imperial court is likely to have a decisive battle with Xiyi in Nanyang. In this way, there should be a few entrustments in Nanyang. Prince. As for how many, I haven't figured it out yet. And then here..."

Having said this, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to Africa, North and South America and said: "These places are a bit far from Daming. But they are all good places. Xiyi sent people to conquer the local indigenous tribes decades ago. .”

Then, he also briefly introduced the Western Yi, that is, the situation in Europe, as well as the situation of the Mughal Dynasty, the Persian Dynasty, etc., almost all the global situations.Then he turned around and went back to the throne to sit down, looked at the feudal lords below and said: "It's too far away, don't think about it for now, we'll talk about it when the time is right. For now, it's mainly the Nanyang side, which can be divided. I have just said that the first one is Nanzhang, which is close to Daming and backed by the mother country, so it can get strong support from the imperial court."

In this case, Emperor Chongzhen didn't need to talk about it. These vassal kings also have eyes.For them, the sooner they are entrusted, the sooner they can enjoy the power of a real vassal.

In addition, there are many advantages.For example, if they are enfeoffed earlier, more people can be recruited in the country, otherwise they will be picked up by other feudal states, and the cost will definitely be much higher.In addition, the sooner the enfeoffment comes out, the earlier the domestic resources can be utilized, such as exchanging what is needed, the feudal state can become prosperous as soon as possible.

The most important point is that there are only a few places close to Daming, if it is too late, they will have to go far away.For example, things like North and South America, and Africa, these vassal kings are actually not happy, it feels like they have gone to the end of the world.

Therefore, these vassal kings all looked at Emperor Chongzhen eagerly, and hoped that Emperor Chongzhen would make the next sentence, that is, let him be entrusted to Nanzhang.

However, the reason why Emperor Chongzhen wanted to convene this clan meeting was without purpose.He just heard him say at the top: "However, Qing and others are all vassals of Ming Dynasty, so I don't want to treat one more favorably than the other. It's unfair to directly designate who comes first, isn't it?"

Hearing this, many feudal lords felt a little disappointed, but at the same time had to admit that it seemed to be the case.In the public court, the emperor must not be too partial!The royal family also needs face.

In this way, with so many vassal kings, there must be one who will go to the vassal. Who will you choose?

Is it a lottery?This is the unanimous guess in the hearts of these vassal kings.

However, they guessed wrong again, so they heard Emperor Chongzhen go on to say: "I don't hide from you, there are some things, one says one, and another says two. The people in Nanzhang asked Daming to entrust the vassal king to the past, but in fact it is still The imperial army went to fight it down. This point should be well known to all the ministers!"

The people of Nanzhang asked Daming to entrust the vassal kings, these are actually just excuses on the surface.These people in the Wenhua Palace are not stupid enough to really believe this excuse.When will ordinary people be able to be such masters?

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen said this, in order to show his maturity, or not so naive, all the vassal kings nodded in unison.

Wen Tiren, Cao Huachun and the others who had been watching the situation in the palace glanced at each other and knew that these vassal kings had fallen into the emperor's trap.

Sure enough, seeing that the vassal kings had confirmed it, Emperor Chongzhen became a little more serious and said, "Don't you think that the treasury has more money now. In fact, the opposite is true. Nowadays, there are still many natural disasters due to floods in the south and drought in the north. I just fought with the Mongols, and the south is still fighting, including the Tang Dynasty. I sent troops to the Bengal province that Tang had conquered. Also, I still want to implement free compulsory education throughout the country for three years, so that All the children in Daming can have Shunian. But all these things need money, and I am short of money!"

Hearing this, many vassal kings had a clear understanding in their hearts. If the predictions were good, the emperor might want to make money.

They were not wrong. Emperor Chongzhen immediately changed the subject and said: "Therefore, the military expenses for taking down Nanzhang, the pensions for sacrificing soldiers, etc., still need to be paid by the vassal princes. This point, the other ones that have already been divided The same is true for the three vassal states."

When he said this, his voice raised a bit and said: "Therefore, I have decided that whichever vassal king pays the most money will be the first to take charge of Fan Nan. By doing this, I can be considered worthy of being on the front line Fighting, fighting for the soldiers of the country, it is also a fair move for the ministers!"

Hearing this, many feudal lords couldn't help but looked at each other in blank dismay.Many people shouted in their hearts: "Your Majesty, we want to draw lots, we would rather draw lots, this is only fair! Your Majesty, we want to draw lots..."

However, this voice from the bottom of their hearts, they finally just think about it in their hearts.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he did not stay in Wenhua Palace.How can the emperor personally preside over such a price drop in the auction.The chief assistant and the eunuch who is in charge of the ceremony are all there, and they can watch the vassal king bid for it.

In the future, this matter will form a customization.

The imperial court sent troops to capture a certain place, and if they wanted to enfeoff feudal princes, they would be auctioned by the feudal princes.

This training includes governing the vassal state, dealing with the relationship between the Ming people and the natives, as well as developing the vassal state economy (of course, this has to be instructed by the court according to the actual situation), how to communicate with the mother country, and how to deal with the relationship with the mother country etc.

At least during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen, the enfeoffed vassal states were to be under the unified control of Daming, no matter what aspects, tangible or intangible, were firmly in the hands of Daming.As for what to do after death, anyway, the foundation is laid here like this, and the descendants are incompetent, so there is no way.

As a person who has traveled from later generations, he will not be so naive as to think that a certain system can last tens of thousands of years!
It lasted for about two hours before Cao Huachun returned to the palace to report to Emperor Chongzhen that the auction had come to fruition, and the highest bidder was King Zhou who was sealed in Kaifeng.

Among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, King Zhou is a veteran vassal king.The first king of Zhou was the fifth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. After so many generations of accumulation, his wealth is naturally one of the most powerful among all the vassal kings.

Of course, the old vassal king is not the only Zhou Wang.However, the current king of Zhou, Zhu Gongyun, is not a stingy person.

In the original history, Kaifeng was attacked several times by King Chuang.It was Zhu Gongyun who took out his own silver as military pay.According to historical records, Zhu Gongyou personally took out 50 gold from the treasury, and offered a reward of [-] gold for killing a thief.He also contributed his own funds to build Kaifeng City to defend against thieves.This is also the case, King Chuang was unable to defeat Kaifeng several times, and in the end, in a frenzy, he dug up the Yellow River and flooded the city of Kaifeng, which was considered "beating" down.

Of course, this is a matter of another dimension.On this plane, Li Zicheng did not become Chuang Wang.He surrendered to the imperial court when he was still a general, and he also volunteered to go to the extreme north to declare his prestige and great power, killing and beating many Tsarist Russians away.Now, with the United States, they are escorting the spoils of Mobei back to Huacheng.

For the vassal kings, although they could still mortgage the valuables of the vassal state to the Daming Construction Bank for loans when they were in the vassal state, they had to pay interest after all.Therefore, some of their money should be reserved for the start-up capital of the vassal state, and it will be spent when it is impossible to bid.

But no matter what, this way of bidding can still get the most money.

As Emperor Chongzhen said, he was indeed short of money.Compulsory education alone is now only opened up for compulsory education because of illegal funds, and it only benefits a small number of people.In order to truly realize compulsory education for children across the country, the money needed is also gone, far from too much.

If there is a three-year compulsory education, then there will be four, five, six years... Anyway, Daming's literacy and scientific and technological knowledge must be as much as possible!

The next day, the king of Tang hurriedly issued his resignation, and he wanted to rush back to Tang.Before leaving, he even specifically asked for an audience.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire?" King Tang was uncertain, and confirmed to Emperor Chongzhen when he was giving his speech.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen didn't take it seriously, and immediately replied: "Then Shah Jahan must not be able to send troops to take back Bangladesh, at least not for the time being. Therefore, you can rest assured."

Speaking of this, he pondered for a while and continued: "The matter of sending troops to the Tang Kingdom is just an excuse that he wanted to expose it because he was bewitched by King Long. That would be too cheap for him. You can reply and ask Shah Jahan for compensation. As for Even if you ask for a large amount of money, you can find your own reasons, such as casualties of soldiers, damage to farmland, whatever, it’s just an excuse, just remember that the amount is so large that Shah Jahan can’t come up with the money. That’s it. First, if he doesn't pay compensation first, why should he let Daming retreat?"

Hearing this, Tang Wang opened his mouth slightly, it turned out that he could still operate like this!
Just as he was thinking, Emperor Chongzhen explained again.
