Chapter 805
Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen raised his voice again and said: "I let you open your eyes, hoping that you will not be limited by your previous knowledge. Don't grab food from a bowl, because I will give you a pot ! The future of Daming, as it was before seeing this steam engine today, is absolutely unimaginable for Zhu Qing!"

Or felt that it was embarrassing to say so, so Emperor Chongzhen said in a gentle tone: "Of course, I am not talking about Zhuqing. I want Zhuqing to convey these words to the people below. I only need to see one, and don't fight internally. Don't think about doing things that are not allowed by the laws of the country, I will give the people of Ming Dynasty a bright future that they have never imagined!"

"I would like to obey the holy will!" Wen Tiren and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and quickly responded in unison.

After beating, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Okay, then Zhuqing, let's go home and have a good year!"

Now that the Northwest has surrendered, Hetao is in the hands of the imperial court, the problem of the victims of the Qin and Jin Dynasties has been alleviated, and Liaodong has also won a few big victories. Right now, Huang Taiji is performing a farce in the Qing palace. Everything seems to be good. This year, it should be able to live well Once it's over!

Emperor Chongzhen thought so, but in fact, often good things only exist in wishes.

When he asked the ministers to celebrate the new year, the lobby of the governor's office in Fujian, far to the south, had no intention of celebrating the new year at all. Instead, it was full of people, all with serious expressions, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

On the main seat in the lobby, the one sitting was of course Fujian Governor Sun Chuanting.After he took office, he killed decisively, and used the army he brought from Shanxi to forcefully rectify the law and order on land, which can be regarded as establishing his own prestige.

However, at this time, he also looked serious, looked down, and said loudly: "The thief leader Liu Xiang has been rampant for a long time, but I have no available sailors in my hands. Now it has become even worse, and even asked me to release the thief who was arrested a few days ago , if not, we will attack our coastal prefectures and counties, do you have a good plan to deal with it?"

The coastline of Fujian is very long, and pirates can freely move freely on the sea, and they can choose any place to attack, making it hard to guard against.When there were many pirates, one of the countermeasures in the past was to order all ships not to go to sea, so that the pirates had nothing to snatch, and they had no financial resources or soldiers to replenish. This was one of the reasons for the sea ban in the past.

Also, in the 26th year of Jiajing, Zhu Wan served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, encircling and suppressing the rampant pirates.It was also because of his intentions and ability, so in the 27th year of Jiajing, he hunted and killed the famous pirate leaders Li Guangtou and Xu Dong at that time, and killed one to make an example to others.But who knows that in the 29th year of Jiajing, Zhu Wan was falsely accused of homicide and wanted to arrest him and punish him.All the hard work has brought about such a result. In desperation, Zhu Wan committed suicide when he was about to be arrested and punished.Since then, the dismissal of inspectors by the imperial court is also a famous example of the sea ban.

But now the imperial court has just issued an order to open the sea ban, and Sun Zhongcheng obviously came here specifically to open the sea ban, so it is naturally impossible to adopt this kind of countermeasure, let alone worry that the emperor will treat Zhu Wan like him.Besides, when the sky falls, there will naturally be a tall man to support it. If there is something to do, Sun Zhongcheng must have something to do first, so other people can work seriously.Of course, this is related to their repeated conflicts with pirates.

There are more and more pirate-related cases that require justice in the yamen, and the people under the rule are often harmed by pirates. All these cases have motivated the local officials to want to eliminate the pirates and restore peace to the sea.Of course, to put it bluntly, this means that the people under the rule will not live in peace. To put it bluntly, it also affects personal political performance and personal future.

However, the best way to deal with pirates is to send naval forces to suppress them.But at this time, the most powerful naval forces in Fujian, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong have been conscripted to the north by the imperial court, and the few remaining ships are left in important ports to cooperate with the shore to guard against pirates, and they have not taken the initiative to attack pirates Power.

The existence of this objective difficulty caused all the civil and military officials in the lobby to remain silent.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting frowned slightly. He also understood the reason why these subordinates did not speak, so he added: "The Fujian navy has already gone south, and it will arrive in half a month. However, the sailor is tired, and it is impossible to immediately Then we can attack pirates."

Hearing this news, the eyes of these people in the hall suddenly lit up.You know, the current commander of the Fujian Navy is Zheng Zhilong. He was the biggest and most powerful pirate in the past. It is said that he and this Liu Xiang are still sworn brothers.If he came back to suppress Liu Xiang, he would have a chance of winning if he knew himself and the enemy!
This time, the atmosphere in the hall obviously eased a little. Many officials looked at each other and seemed to have an idea.In the end, a civil official came out and reported to Sun Chuanting: "Lord Zhongcheng, I think you can stabilize Liu Xiang first, so that he can be more stable during this period of time, so that he will not abuse the people. Wait until the navy army Once it arrives, land and water can be used simultaneously, and the pirates can be suppressed in one fell swoop!"

If the pirates make a request, the government will listen to the pirates and release those thieves. This will greatly damage the prestige of the government and the prestige of the court, and no official will do it. Courting death.

Sun Chuanting saw that the speaker was Hong Yunzheng, who participated in politics in Fujian, so he asked him, "How to stabilize it?"

Since Hong Yunzheng came out to say this, he naturally thought of a countermeasure, so he immediately replied: "The lower official thinks that he can pretend to appease him. If he agrees, his subordinates will naturally be released without charge, which is also considered satisfactory." at his request."

Speaking of this, he immediately added: "Of course, as for the conditions of recruiting, it can be discussed, and we have been talking about the arrival of the navy."

After Sun Chuanting took office, his performance was strong.For those thieves and bandits, regardless of land and sea, they will all be wiped out.Therefore, before that, no one dared to talk about appeasement.However, Hong Yunzheng's proposal was a false appeasement, and he was not afraid of making Mr. Zhongcheng unhappy.

Hong Chengchou's proposal can not only stabilize the recent situation, so that there will be no more headaches, but also let Liu Xiang relax his vigilance, so that after Zheng Zhilong returns, he can be wiped out more smoothly. It is also a good way.

Therefore, after he finished speaking, the civil servant Kang Chengzu immediately came out to second him.On the general's side, seeing that the two civil servants agreed with this matter, they were a little moved, thinking of showing it in front of Mr. Zhongcheng, lest Mr. Zhongcheng only reuse the Liu Daneng he brought.

As a result, generals Xia Zhiben, Zhang Yijie and others also joined the ranks, seconding Hong Yunzheng's proposal.

Sun Chuanting remained calm and weighed the matter in his heart.To be honest, if all the pirates could be wiped out before the Fujian Navy arrived, this would be what he would like to see the most.But now it seems that the sea is different from the land after all, facing the vast ocean, it is really difficult to exert force.
