Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

The vassal kings of Ming Dynasty are these pigs that have been raised for 300 years.

For Emperor Chongzhen, he summoned ten vassal kings at one time, Dai Wang, Qi Wang, Min Wang, and Su Wang. , and formed a powerful team of ten princes.

Or, ten fat pigs.

After these vassal kings finished their normal interview process, Emperor Chongzhen directly ordered Wang Chengen to prepare a huge map, spread it out on the table, and said with a smile: "Come on, we are all one family, everyone, uncles, brothers , look at the pick!"

The acting king Zhu Yi quietly looked at Zhu Yatong who had just been restored to Duke Qi and several other vassal princes, and immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I'm stupid, I just hope that your majesty can choose a place for me to confer on him. "

When the other vassal kings saw the acting king Zhu Yi? They all bowed and said: "I hope that your Majesty will make the decision for the ministers!"

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled, and no longer refused, but went directly to the map and looked at it.

Dai Wang Zhu Yi? This guy is a smart guy. He pushed this issue to my head. It’s fine if I choose well. If I assign a fief to him randomly, people in the world might think of me.

However, no matter how smart you are, you missed a problem, right?

Emperor Chongzhen, who looked at the map for a long time, pointed to a place west of Batavia near the sea and said: "Look here on behalf of the king, the west of Batavia's governor's mansion, Linhai, is it really a rare and good place?"

Zhu Yi? felt bitter in his heart, knowing that he had offended the narrow-minded Emperor Chongzhen, so he had no choice but to bow down and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled, pointed to the map and said to the other vassals: "Here, south of Batavia, is also a good place near the sea, and belongs to King Qi; here, southwest of Batavia, belongs to Min King, the southeast land belongs to King Su."

In just a few words, the places of ten vassal kings were all assigned by Emperor Chongzhen.

Except for Dai Wang, the fiefdoms of the other nine vassal kings all have a common feature - Linhai.

Regardless of size, the other nine vassal kings all hated the acting king Zhu Yi? ——Let you do it, you fucking dump the blame on the emperor, what will happen now?

Theoretically speaking, a fief near the sea is definitely a good place, especially if this area is replaced by Ming Dynasty.

Even North Korea, Ryukyu, and even Taiwan are the same. Fiefdoms near the sea are more beneficial than inland fiefdoms.

At the very least, the maritime taxation alone and the countless fishery resources are by no means comparable to inland fiefdoms.

But where is the fief this time?

Java, Luzon, Batavia, Majapahit, etc., but all the places near the sea are all treated as fiefdoms, and they are taken out and distributed to the big guys.

Leaving aside these places, none of them are normal port locations. Just worrying about those Francine savages coming back for revenge in the future is disgusting enough.

That is to say, the first thing you need to do after arriving in a new fiefdom is to get the coastal defenses done right away, and everything else is secondary.

If it wasn't for Zhu Yi? This bastard just pretended to be smart and wanted Emperor Chongzhen to point out a good place, and the big guy could still choose a similar one. Now it's all right, all of them are like this.

The vassal kings present scolded Zhu Yi in their hearts, and at the same time, they thought that the emperor was indeed good enough—the purpose of asking him to help assign fiefdoms was to get a good piece of land. pointed to himself.

Ignoring the endless resentment in the eyes of these ten feudal lords, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Don't say that I didn't give you a chance, you gave up and asked me to appoint you, you can't blame me for this.

And the vassal kings, according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the role of the vassal kings is to defend the court. If these sea areas are not entrusted to you, do you want me to spend money on coastal defense?

My money did not come from the wind!

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Several uncles and brothers want to go to sea and become a vassal. I will keep the fiefdom in this country, and the proceeds will be sent to the hands of the uncles and brothers, but good?"

Zhu Yi? Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have become a vassal when I go out to sea. I really have no power over the fiefdoms in the country. Please take them back, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said, "Brother Dai Wang, what did you say? It's just a piece of fiefdom, how can I be reluctant?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yi simply knelt down and said, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I really have no intention of managing the domestic fiefdoms. I would like to defend our Ming Dynasty according to the system of Emperor Taizu Gao, and I will be a domain overseas. Your Majesty, please take back the domestic fiefdoms!"

The other vassal kings met the generation king Zhu Yi? With such an attitude, it was just a simple thought to understand what was going on.

If it wasn't for the dog emperor's eye on the big guy's fiefdom, he still expects him to replace everyone overseas?

Even if it is a replacement, if the domestic fiefdoms are not handed over, will everyone be well off?How many shoes will I have to wear in the future?

Opposite to the ten vassal kings who knelt down together on the ground, Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "What are you uncles and brothers doing? It's just a few fiefdoms, why is it so?"

The more Emperor Chongzhen did not take back his domestic fiefs, the more uneasy Zhu Yi and others felt.

Thinking of the rumors about Zhu Yujian and others that the vassal kings had circulated privately before, Zhu Yichen simply gritted his teeth, took out a stack of Chongzhen treasure banknotes from his bosom, and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, before the Ming Dynasty East China Sea Fleet and I The South China Sea has pacified Java and Luzon, and I would like to offer 500 million taels of silver to the army!"

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said, "Brother Dai Wang has such a deep heart, how can I refuse? I thanked Brother Dai Wang first on behalf of the soldiers of the fleet."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Cheng'en to say: "Cheng'en, write it down, and send out all the silver rewards brought in by the uncles and kings, and let the Jinyiwei and Dongchang people handle this matter in person. No one is allowed to step up or down in the middle, remember?"

Emperor Chongzhen collected the money very happily, but the ten vassal kings below were bleeding from their hearts.

The four vassal kings headed by Dai Wang who had already been canonized at the founding of the country were 500 million taels each, and the remaining six miscellaneous fish vassals each had 100 million taels, for a total of 600 million taels of silver.

It's just such a short time of effort, it's gone, and I have to thank Emperor Chongzhen who robbed me and others.

Where to go to reason!

After the ten vassal kings retreated, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Go to the queen."

Empress Zhou, who was chatting with several other concubines, saw Emperor Chongzhen's radiant face, and said with a smile, "What's the fun today?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Of course, Brother Dai and the others feel that the fleet officers and soldiers have gone overseas, and specially donated 600 million taels of silver to serve the army. I am very happy."

After waving his hand and letting the queen and the other concubines sit down, Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "Cheng En, tell the imperial dining room that I will have lunch at the queen's place today, and ask the imperial dining room to add a few more dishes." .”

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Depending on the location of the mother's family, let's add a local dish."

After Wang Chengen took the order to retreat, Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the couch and said with a smile, "I feel comfortable in my heart."

Empress Zhou covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty feels at ease, but the uncles and brothers may not feel at ease?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Let them go. As the vassal of Daming, if you don't do your best for Daming, why should you enjoy the benefits that Ming gave them?"

Speaking of this, it is already the end, and there is no way to talk about the next topic-the ancestral system of the harem not being able to interfere in politics is there. It is okay for Queen Zhou to care about her uncles and brothers, no matter how much There is suspicion of meddling in politics.

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that Empress Zhou and the others had an embroidery frame behind them, he said with a smile, "What are you embroidering on? Let me show you?"

Empress Zhou poohed and said, "They are all belongings of my daughter's house. Since when did His Majesty become interested in these things?"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "I'm also curious, and want to see what kind of patterns the empress and the concubines can embroider."

Empress Zhou had no choice but to wink and handed several embroidered stretchers to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Okay, the mandarin duck embroidery on it is so beautiful, it must be the empress's handwriting. Well, the two little tigers on it, with their heads and brains, must be the handwriting of Concubine Tian?"

Emperor Chongzhen picked up and commented on the two embroidery frames in front of him, and then he took out the embroidery frames so that Emperor Chongzhen almost laughed out of his belly and said, "The two cats embroidered by Concubine Wan are quite cute." !"

Two strange creatures with grinning teeth said that tigers are not like tigers, and that cats are also a bit reluctant. Emperor Chongzhen had to judge these two creatures as cats.
