[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

"Watching Tanghe and inspecting the coastal cities," Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to sense the imminent breath coming from behind him, and he didn't know what his grandson was up to. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Let him take the The sailors in the lake drill also moved, and went to the sea for a walk, and next time there are thieves entering the country, they can also go to the sea to practice their hands."

Everyone's hearts moved when they heard the words. In the past, because of Emperor Hongwu's rule that "non-official ships are not allowed to enter the sea", Daming's defense was limited to land defense.

This also means that the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty can only beat people when the Japanese pirates arrive on land.Once the opponent fled to the sea, even if there was a small fishing boat nearby, the officers and soldiers could only watch the opponent flee.

What's even more exasperating is that after understanding the pain points of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, sometimes those Japanese pirates who managed to escape would deliberately stay near the ocean, holding their "harvests" in places beyond the range of bows and arrows to make various provocative actions. Hey, it's very annoying.

All the guards along the coast are annoyed by the actions of the Japanese pirates, but there is no way, the order of Emperor Hongwu is placed there, even if they are for the purpose of defense, they can't go into the water easily, if they want to go down, they have to apply. Those Japanese pirates all returned to their hometowns when the order was approved by the higher levels.

Pre-apply?

There is no such thing as anticipation in war. "Don't say that you do not predict it" is what politicians say, and soldiers are not qualified for this.

And this guard said that he thought Japanese pirates would come to attack them next year and applied to go to sea. The guard also said that he would attack. The final result was that all the guards on the eastern coast could go to sea.

Therefore, it is conceivable that when Tang He arrived at the coastal cities with the order of Emperor Hongwu, how excited the officers and soldiers of the guards who had been aggrieved for a long time were.

It's like untying the rope around the neck of a tiger that has been thirsty for blood for a long time, and saying to them: "You can eat the ones ahead, choose whatever you want."

However, Emperor Hongwu also reminded Xiatang and his subordinates not to be too rough. Japanese ships and people are not very good, but they were born in the sea and grew up in the waves. Lu's Ming army is much more familiar.

"You should know that the inner lake is calm, sailing depends on manpower, and sea manpower is limited, so you should practice the art of controlling the wind." Hongwu Emperor earnestly said: "There are many reefs along the east coast of my country, and the thieves often use the high and low tides when they land. There are different sets of scenarios to deal with the tides differently."

Tang He clapped his hands and promised, Hong Wudi glanced at him, thought for a while, then turned to ask Mu Bai: "Ying'er, how many lights are there in the warehouse?"

Mu Xiaobai, who was mourning for the missed opportunity, was taken aback when he heard the words, thought about it, and said: "There is still one in the warehouse, and now the remaining materials are added up, and we can probably make another one."

Mingdeng is the name given to the searchlight by Emperor Hongwu, which means that the sun and the moon shine brightly.

Emperor Hongwu spoke highly of Mingdeng, and he was quite supportive of its construction and improvement, but the disadvantages of insufficient materials and poor craftsmanship were not so easy to make up for.

In addition to the searchlight, there is also a "natural enemy".

In the eyes of outsiders, compared with searchlights that only have lighting functions, telescopes that can shorten the distance between the enemy and ourselves, help generals see the distance more clearly, and make more precise strikes are obviously more valuable.

Moreover, if the raw materials for making searchlights are transferred to telescopes, hundreds of them can be made, so the bright lights that were born in the era of "the telescope was born and the searchlight was born" are so pitifully ranked last in the workshop's production list, and today's finished products There are only three sets in Liujiagang and two sets at the gate of the Daming Palace.

In addition, this thing needs to use kerosene to achieve the best effect, and Daming's kerosene exploration has not yet made breakthroughs, so it is natural to use less, so the two headlights will only be turned on during major holidays. It is very aggrieved to use it purely as an atmosphere light.

"Hurry up and arrange for someone to prepare a few more for you Grandpa Tang, and the clairvoyance will also be prepared." Hong Wudi said in a very friendly tone, "Your Tang and Grandpa are grandpa's big brothers, and his ability to arrange troops can't match Grandpa's. Give him something, and he will definitely give you a beautiful victory and come back."

Tang He, who was praised so much, bowed immediately, not even daring to say: "I am dull and timid, that is to say, I am more careful than others, so I am better at defense, but if I line up troops, I can't compare with Your Majesty."

The monarchs and ministers immediately started the business mutual bragging mode, and the corners of Mu Bai's mouth twitched. When he turned his head again, his father showed a moved expression at the right time, so Mu Bai was even more speechless.

Okay, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, he adjusted his micro-expressions, and also showed two points touched, four points expecting and three points excited, Fengtian Hall was filled with joy for a while.

The bad news came one after another. The 17th year of Hongwu was not a peaceful year. This year’s rainy season was extremely long. The prolonged rain caused the Yellow River to burst its banks in many places one after another, especially in Kaifeng, which has been plagued by disasters since the Southern Song Dynasty. Flooded once.

In later generations, archaeological excavations in Kaifeng have a very vivid name called "thousand-layer cake", which refers to the situation of Kaifeng City.

Kaifeng, which is adjacent to the Yellow River, has to bear the risk of flooding the Yellow River while obtaining abundant irrigation resources.

With the warming of the climate, the rain belt is gradually moving southward, and the amount of sand and soil carried by the Yellow River is increasing day by day. After the flood recedes, Kaifeng City no longer has no traces like when the Yellow River was still clear. It can be reused after washing, but has to be frequently used After cleaning up the silt, the people of Kaifeng didn't clean it up at all, and directly leveled the ground and rebuilt the city on it, so there was an archaeological wonder of Kaifeng's Fucheng city in later generations.

According to archaeological findings, the modern city of Kaifeng is stacked with major buildings from several eras, the Qing and Ming, the Ming and Yuan, the Yuan and Jin, the Jin and Song, and the Song and Five Dynasties, all the way to the Warring States period.

If you make a cross-section of the ground, the underground of Kaifeng Mansion is simply a history of dynasty changes.From this point, we can also see how frequently floods have occurred in Kaifeng, and how superior its geographical location is, so superior that people would rather take the risk of possible floods and continue to build the city here.

After all, it is a rare fertile field in the north. Unless some emperor is out of his mind, it is impossible to give up here.

For the sake of the agricultural products here, even if it is a big hidden danger, the emperors of all dynasties had to pay for it by their noses, and it took three years to mend it.

The Yellow River has to be flooded once or twice a year, and he still wonders which summer no one reports disasters. Ever since he became emperor, Emperor Hongwu has been used to a wave of "surprises" every summer, but this year's situation is more serious .

After the Yellow River broke its embankment in Kaifeng, most of Henan was flooded, and the victims of the disaster almost spread to many neighboring provinces. Emperor Hongwu's reaction was not unpleasant. He immediately ordered the exemption of taxes and grains for the whole of Henan, and sent officials to open warehouses for disaster relief and control The victims stayed where they were and waited for support, and a series of operations were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.

However, the post-disaster construction in Henan has not yet been completed. After the autumn rain in October, floods broke out in both Henan and Beiping.

Beiping is the fiefdom of King Yan. As the prince, King Yan's response is naturally faster than that of ordinary provinces that need to report to the court for approval, but the problem is that Beiping is not a rich land and lacks self-help ability.

Don't look at the name of Yuan Dadu here before, but the Yuan Dynasty basically didn't bother to take care of it after it established its capital here. The prosperity of Dadu is entirely connected by merchants. It's still the small town in the north that doesn't shit.

The northern land is bitterly cold, and the only food that can be grown is wheat, millet, and bean that are not afraid of cold and drought. In addition, Beiping is still an important border defense area. Most of the people here are soldiers and civilians. When they are always on guard against the north to thresh grain and grass, they have to spare time. Training, it is naturally impossible to farm wholeheartedly, and the harvest is even more ordinary.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the financial revenue and food reserves of the entire Beiping may be a little more than the salary received by the King Yan's family, or even less.When he realized this, King Yan decided to take out his salary to distribute food to the people affected by the disaster. At the same time, he also hurriedly wrote a letter to his father, saying that his son's private money would definitely not be able to hold him, so his father came to help. !

Emperor Hongwu had no choice but to send his son-in-law captain Li Qi to rescue the disaster. Li Qi came back with a strange expression on his face. He brought back a "gift of thanks" from Beiping to Emperor Hongwu - a merchant team composed of merchants from various tribes.

What these people carried was exactly the product that Emperor Hongwu needed for the grassland, that is, a large number of coal mines.

And the reason why these people will be sent to Yingtian Mansion instead of being digested directly in Beiping according to what was agreed before is because these people found that the flood in Beiping had no time for others after arriving in Beiping, so they used their brains to return to their old roots. OK.

Fortunately, Zhu Di, who had dealt with the neighbors on the grassland for many years, did not relax his guard against these neighbors even though he was busy with water control, and these people were caught before they took any action.

As a result, the identity of these people has changed from businessmen who came here after all the hardships to criminals who have attempted to rob, and how to deal with it is more troublesome.I'm sorry for myself if I act lightly, but it's hard to explain when I act hard. Zhu Di, who is so busy that his mouth has a burst of bubbling, simply doesn't think about how to balance the relationship between the two, and directly packs him to the capital, leaving his old father to worry.

The old father will not be distressed, he forwarded the situation to his son and grandson with one click, calling it a test for you by the father, Mu Xiaobai's eyes are rolled to the sky, but it is really hard to be a grandson these days There is no human rights, so I can only pinch my nose and think about how to deal with it.

First of all, the more troublesome point is that his uncle acted a little earlier. According to the Ming Dynasty's decree, there is really no such thing as "attempted crime". They said they were wronged, they did nothing, they came to Daming with great goodwill, in short, they are good people!

It's okay to lie to anyone, but who told them that the person who interrogated them is a child?

It is said that this child is still a little grandson, ouch!Seeing the child's stunned look when he heard them flickering, the businessmen all showed a sense of accomplishment.

Why did they appear there? Isn’t that an accident? They just went out to see if there was anyone in need of help. Why did they send someone to contact the tribe? Go to the tribe to help.

In short, they really came here with friendship, really!

Mu Bai nodded, closed the pamphlet that he wrote and drew, and stood up, "So that's it, it turns out that you are kind and friendly nations who care about Daming, my uncle misunderstood you."

The merchants nodded their heads one after another, but then their complexions turned green, because the little emperor and grandson handed out a piece of paper all by himself, and said with a cute smile: "Since it is the kindness of everyone, we are really reluctant to let it down. It’s just that it’s so far away from the grassland, it’s too unbearable for you to go there, why don’t you write a letter, and we can get it ourselves.”

Of course, before the things are brought back, you "friends" should stay in Yingtian Mansion first, and let us show our friendship as landlords.

Kidnap?Hey, how do you say that, China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. According to our culture, the grace of dripping water has always been repaid by the spring, and now I want to repay you with the spring.

Mu Bai pushed the pen and signaled everyone to write with confidence and write boldly. If you don’t like Daming’s paper, we can also get some parchment. You just said that, your family has a lot of sheep, your family has a lot of cows, and your family has a lot of sheep. Both are too much, anyway, 100 or [-] is a wish, and three hundred and five hundred is not too much, just write it, don't worry that Daming people won't get it back.

After getting it back, I will be the master alone, and I will send you a big red certificate, thank you for your selfless dedication to the disaster victims of Daming!

Mu Bai looked at the people whose faces were turning purple and smiled very kindly, and reached out to touch the big dog with its tongue sticking out and staring at these people, it looked extremely harmless.

That's what it is!The grandson of the emperor is still a child, so what bad thoughts can a child have?

The author has something to say: Grassland merchant: Robbery, this is naked robbery!The Han people are really cunning, and the little bastards are also thieves and thieves, right?

Mu Xiaobai: =w=
