Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 1261 Stirring a hornet’s nest

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen's so-called price was just spending some achievement points to add people. As for the achievement points consumed by the temporary group and photo taking functions, he has already bought them out. If the household registration system of the new feudal state was established, it would not cost him much.

Of course, if you just add up all the costs of the chat group, the price is really high. The achievement value of just buying out the temporary group and taking photos is an astronomical figure. However, the main reason why Emperor Chongzhen said this to King Tang was to let King Tang talk to other vassal kings and let other vassal states also use this household registration system. In this way, as long as the vassal state adopted the new household registration system, it would be under the control of Emperor Chongzhen.

At that time, he can give the factory guards permission to count the population, taxation, etc. of the vassal state in private. They can have a clear grasp of the vassal state without leaving the house.

Tang Wang is not the leader of the group, so he naturally doesn't know how high the price is. Although he knew that the emperor could definitely see the population, taxation and other contents of the vassal state, he did not pay much attention to it. The reason for this is that, first, population management has always been a management problem in ancient society, and chat groups, an instant messaging system, can be very powerful and perfectly solve this problem.

Second, the vassal kings at this time, even the ambitious King of Tang, were not ambitious for the Ming Dynasty. In other words, they have been raised as pigs since they were young. Although they have been enfeoffed and become powerful vassal kings, the things in their bones have not changed.

At this time, they never had the thought that they wanted to guard against Daming. On the contrary, at this time, they were trying every possible means to gain Ming's support and affirmation. Even if they knew that this population, tax and other information would be known to Ming Dynasty, they would not care much about it. Of course, if their descendants think the same way, they won't care at all at this time.

It is precisely because of the above two reasons that when King Tang heard Emperor Chongzhen's agreement, he was immediately overjoyed. After thanking him repeatedly, he immediately went to the vassal chat group and started his show again.

Emperor Chongzhen was diving and silently watching his performance.

I saw that the king of Tang Dynasty said that he wanted to share his experience in governing the country, and Balabala talked about a lot of management difficulties he encountered. The most basic thing in a country is population management. When he said this, King Fu and King Yi, who had already experienced it, unanimously agreed, expressing another pile of bitterness.

Then, the King of Tang told him again what he had heard from Wei Zhongliang about the new household registration system. In the meantime, I got the support of the vassal king who had not been enfeoffed. Because as long as everyone in the Ming Dynasty, including the vassal kings, has been registered. At this time, they didn't care about privacy at all. The emperor's decree was naturally carried out.

When the King of Tang heard someone echoing his words, he became even more enthusiastic. Just because he knew that the emperor might see him speaking, he did not dare to be too exaggerated. He just said that with the emperor's permission, the vassal state could also add new household registrations. The system can solve the problem of population management very well. Anyone who wanted to join us quickly got on the bus together.

The King of Tang was already considered one of the more accomplished vassal kings. He didn't care that his country's population information was mastered by the Ming Dynasty, let alone other vassal kings. As long as they can solve the problem and make their rule smoother, they won't think too much about it. Suddenly, King Fu and King Yi immediately agreed, and other vassal kings were not willing to lag behind. Even the vassal kings who had not enfeoffed were clamoring not to forget that they also wanted this new household registration management.

In this way, at the initiative of these vassal kings, the new household registration system of the Ming Dynasty covered the vassal states.

Of course, the feudal kingdom has separate folders to store information. The feudal king and the people designated by the feudal king can access these folders. As for other folders, they do not have permission. For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen is not just talking about it. He needs to add more chat group members. If they are the best in the vassal state, if not, he must send chat group members from the Ming Dynasty to act as household registration managers in the vassal state. member.

While Emperor Chongzhen and the vassal princes were busy with the new household registration management system, six sailing warships appeared on the surface of the Little Western Ocean, which was later known as the Indian Ocean. On one of the warships, the flagship, several Westerners were standing there looking at the distant coastline. One of them said to the person standing in the middle, watching with a telescope: "Captain, this should belong to Bangladesh. A few years ago, the Portuguese were defeated by the natives here and escaped from here!"

These people were British, sent by Charles I in a fleet heading to the East. The leader is Captain Wedel. Their main purpose is that they have heard about the wealth in the East and want to see if there are any opportunities to make money.

In the original history, this fleet would not set off from London until the ninth year of Chongzhen. But in this dimension, due to the butterfly effect, I started a year early.

At this time, Britain was not yet the empire on which the sun never sets, but its strength was on the rise. If in the original history, this fleet arrived at the Cross Gate in the south of Macau the following year. As a result, the Portuguese in Macau, because of their own interests, directly sent ships to stop the fleet, preventing them from approaching, and trade was not allowed.

With no other choice, Captain Wedel led the fleet to Guangzhou. As a result, he clashed with the Ming Dynasty's Humen garrison, and they occupied the Humen Fort. They thought that Ming Dynasty was as weak and vulnerable as the natives in other colonies, so they wanted to force Ming Dynasty to trade with them, so they continued to advance to Guangzhou and plundered along the way. As a result, Ming Dynasty counterattacked. In desperation, Wedel quickly asked the Portuguese to be peacemakers.

In the end, Wedell settled the matter by paying compensation of 2,800 taels of silver and promising never to come to Ming Dynasty again, and returned to England in despair.

Of course, in this dimension, they have only reached the coast of Bangladesh, and they are still far away from the Ming Dynasty!

Listening to the guide's introduction, Wedel looked into the distance. Suddenly, he noticed that two ships seemed to be approaching from the direction of the coastline. He quickly adjusted the focus of the telescope and looked carefully. After half a day, he asked a little strangely: "What's going on? The sailing warship should be from Europe, right? But the flag hanging on it has never been seen before!"

When these British people heard this, they were a little curious. The guide beside Wedel had also been to the East a long time ago and was unaware of the current situation. Therefore, after looking at it with the help of a telescope, he helplessly replied to Wedel: "Captain, this flag should not be from Europe. I don't know either." Never seen that before.”

After a pause, he guessed a little: "There are no sailing battleships in the East. I guess this may belong to some colony, right? But it shouldn't be. No matter which colony it is, it should have the flag of the country to which their master belongs. That’s right!”

Guessing and guessing, no one can guess anything. When Wedel saw it, he curled his lips slightly and said with a trace of disdain: "No need to guess, the battle formation, surround them, catch them and ask them, you will know the situation!"

There are six warships on their side, and only two warships on the opposite side. Six versus two, there must be no problem. Moreover, the British Empire has no friendly forces here, so no matter who it faces, it will never go wrong.

After hearing the captain's order, everyone else couldn't help but nod, it was just such a simple thing. As a result, the flagship immediately issued an order via semaphore to prepare for war.

What they didn't expect was that the two sailing battleships with overlapping flags of red sun and yellow moon on the opposite side seemed to have noticed their intentions immediately and immediately sent a common semaphore to them.

"Captain, the other side is warning us not to show hostility, and we must act accordingly." The lookout soldier on the flagpole shouted loudly to the people below, with a hint of humor in his words.

After hearing this, Wedel found it impossible to be obedient when one's own force was stronger than the other's. He did not answer at all, which meant that his previous order was still valid.

As a result, the six sail warships continued their combat deployment, but before they were ready, the lookout on the flagpole loudly reported: "Captain, the enemy is fleeing!"

When Wedel heard this, he immediately raised his telescope and looked over. Sure enough, the two sail warships did not engage in battle, but turned a corner and fled towards the coast.

"Haha, let's see where you are running!" Wedel sneered and immediately ordered, "Follow us and stay on alert for battle!"

It is a common practice for those who go out to colonize that if they see an advantage to be taken advantage of after coming out, they should take advantage of it. If there is no advantage to be taken advantage of, then it depends on the situation. In short, they came out to bully the weak and fear the strong.

In this way, six sail warships chased two sail warships with red sun and yellow moon overlapping flags, all the way to the coast.

After traveling for a period of time and getting closer to the coastline, Wedel suddenly discovered through the telescope that there were many ships offshore. They looked like civilian ships or cargo ships, but they were not armed ships anyway. Most of them are Eastern ships, few Western sailing ships.

"Is there a bustling port here?" Wedel was a little confused and turned to ask the guide.

The guide was also confused. When he came here a few years ago, there was no bustling port here. But now he could also see with his naked eyes that there were many ships coming and going in the distance on the sea near the coast.

I don’t understand! In desperation, the guide shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

Soon, either the two escaping sailboats in front gave a warning, or they saw it themselves, those cargo ships began to flee in the same direction, speeding up.

Seeing this situation, Wedel showed a proud smile on his face. They had seen situations like this many times since setting off from London. Things like this often happened on the indigenous coastlines. He led the fleet to attack and basically plundered them. If there were no supplies along the way, we wouldn't be able to go this far.

Not only Wedel thought so, but also the other British guys on the six sailing battleships all showed cat-and-mouse smiles. Everyone seemed very relaxed.

The coastline is getting closer and closer, and Wedel and others can see it more and more clearly. They were also discerning people and immediately saw that this place seemed to be really prosperous.

Then, a flag was sent from a sail warship, and the flag soldier immediately reported to Wedel: "Other warships ask for instructions. If the attack on the port goes well later, can they attack the shore directly?"

After all, they only have six warships. If there is a large indigenous city on the shore, there may be too many people on the other side. After the indigenous people react, they may be outnumbered. However, if the natives could go ashore and rob them before they could react, the harvest would be huge.

After hearing this, Wedel pondered for a moment and then replied: "Everything is business as usual!"

Finally, these British warships came into sight of the harbor on the coast. I saw row upon row of houses on the shore, covering a large area. It was obvious that it was indeed a very prosperous place. As a result, these British guys who had sailed from a long distance screamed excitedly. In their eyes, the more prosperous the place, the greater the harvest!

However, just as they were gearing up to fight around the indigenous port, they saw a ship coming out of the port in the distance.

At first, Wedel didn't care. No matter how stupid the natives were, they couldn't just be captured and they would definitely fight back. But after he kills the indigenous resistance force, everything will be fine.

He was thinking this, and when he was about to take a look with the telescope, suddenly, the lookout soldier on the flagpole lowered his head and shouted, with fear in his voice: "Captain, retreat quickly, we've stung a hornet's nest, they are all sailing warships! Captain, Escape quickly..."

When Wedel heard this, he was immediately startled and quickly looked over with the help of a telescope.

The lookout soldiers were indeed right. The ships that came out of the port were the same as the two sail warships they encountered before. They all carried red sun and yellow moon overlapping flags. It could be seen from the sides of the ship that the cannons Lots of seats. The most important thing is that these sailing warships are placed one after another. No one knows how many there are in the port. Anyway, there is no need to count. The number of the opponent's sailing warships is far more than the six of our own.

Damn, I really stoked a hornet's nest. How come there are so many sailing warships here?

Wedel was confused and cursed at the same time, and then quickly ordered: "Retreat, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

It has to be said that the ability of these British guys to escape is first-rate. With the cooperation of the entire crew, these six sailing warships immediately turned around and escaped, and the speed became faster and faster. Slowly, they finally lost the chasing warships. .

After they escaped to the safety of the sea, other warships flagged and asked what to do next.

Wedel thought for a moment. Although he didn't understand why there were so many strange sail warships here, he thought about his mission and finally decided to continue sailing to the east.

However, he did not know that the person chasing his fleet was Liang Xiaozhen, the commander of the Ming Navy Navy. After all, his men were not as familiar with sailing ships as Xi Yi. After being escaped, he looked at the direction in which Xi Yi escaped and entered the chat group.
