    Sun Chengzong did not know much about the matter of opening up the sea, but this did not prevent him from considering this issue as a minister.  After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Sun Chengzong said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I think opening the sea in Fuzhou is a very wise decision, which is far more beneficial than opening a new treaty port." Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, his expression  He also became serious. He had traveled through time and felt that he had no problem grasping the general direction.  But this is not our own era after all. If you want to grasp the pulse of this era, it is best to leave it to the people of this era.  ¡°If you have anything to say, dear, it¡¯s okay to say it!¡± The most trusted minister of Emperor Tianqi was Sun Chengzong, a minister who could lead dozens of members of his family to serve the country to the death. Emperor Tianqi trusted him from the bottom of his heart.  Such a person will never harm the country because of selfish interests. Of course, it cannot be said that he has no selfish motives, but his selfishness will never be used here.  "Your Majesty, Quanzhou has always been a place of sea trade, and it has been since the Song Dynasty. Roadlessness is not a local or official place. There is no more suitable place than Quanzhou in the Ming Dynasty. Besides, there is a Fujian Navy in Quanzhou, although  It is not possible to conduct an expedition, but it is more than enough to protect Quanzhou. These are local advantages, and Quanzhou is not far from Penghu. These are very big advantages." Sun Chengzong studied a lot of information and always felt that Quanzhou was the most suitable place.  Firstly, it has a good foundation for opening up the sea, and secondly, it has a good geographical location. These are irreplaceable!  People in other places may not know much about sea trade, but this definitely does not include Quanzhou people.  If Emperor Tianqi wanted to set up a model city, there was no more suitable place than Quanzhou.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi also thought about it. This is indeed a very important point.  However, this matter has not reached the point of being particularly anxious. After all, the Taiwan Strait is not peaceful, and there is nothing to say about opening the sea.  He lowered his head and thought for a while.  Emperor Tianqi thought of a person, raised his head and said to Sun Chengzong: "My dear, Nan Juyi, governor of Fujian, do you know this person?" Sun Chengzong was slightly stunned. Emperor Tianqi asked this, obviously he wanted to reuse this Nan Juyi!  Sun Chengzong really knows this person.  But I don¡¯t know much about the details.  "Nan Juyi has lived in Weinan for a long time. He can be said to be the heirloom of poetry and etiquette, and is a famous family of loyalty. Nan Juyi's great-grandfather Nan Fengji was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing, and was awarded the title of head of the Rituals Department of the Ministry of Rites. He was a senior official in Yanmen Military Preparation  He was the deputy envoy of the Imperial Envoy Department of Dao and Shanxi. He later established Jiangquan Academy in Weinan, and his reputation among scholars was very high. Nan Xuan, the grandfather of Nan Juyi, was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing and served as a doctor in the Department of Civil Affairs.  He was a concubine in the Hanlin Academy. [1 Later, he was promoted to deputy envoy to Sichuan and served as a counselor in Shandong." Emperor Tianqi didn't understand this.  But those who are officials in the government are naturally very clear about these things.  Seeing Emperor Tianqi staring at him, Sun Chengzong continued: "Nan Juyi's father is Nan Shizhong, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing, but he has already become a scholar! The Nan family of Weinan is very famous in the court, and can be said to be a family of officials.  ! Nan Juyi has also inherited the family tradition and has just been promoted from Fujian Chief Envoy to Fujian Governor. I have not had much contact with him, but he is not a clique and is not selfish. " After hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Emperor Tianqi agreed.  nodded.  The road to the imperial examination has been difficult since ancient times, and the results of the Nan family are really jaw-dropping.  But for Emperor Tianqi, these are not the most important. The most important thing is Nan Juyi's ability.  The DPRK has received a memorial from Nan Juyi, and the report is also about the Dutch occupation of Penghu.  In Nan Juyi's view.  The Penghu Inspection Department was the administrative seat of the Ming Dynasty, and Penghu was the territory of the Ming Dynasty.  If it was occupied by the Dutch, it would cause great harassment to the coast. He asked Emperor Tianqi to punish him.  Emperor Tianqi has paid attention to this a long time ago, and now it is naturally time to employ people.  Since Nan Juyi has this confidence, Emperor Tianqi will naturally not let him down.  After glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "The Military Aircraft Department drafted a decree and appointed Nan Juyi as the right minister of the Ministry of War to lead the Fujian military and take charge of matters against the Netherlands. In addition, the Military Aircraft Department issued a document and told Nan Juyi that I would send someone to  Contact him. Send a capable person from the Military Aircraft Department to join forces with the Spanish to deal with the Dutch. But remember to let the Spanish rush in front and urge Yu Zigao and Qi Jin to get to Fuzhou as soon as possible. "  "Yes, Your Majesty! I will keep an eye on this matter and will definitely get it done before the end of the year. After the spring begins, the battle can begin." Sun Chengzong knew that Emperor Tianqi was determined to fight this battle, so naturally he would not  There¡¯s no point in saying it, being prepared is the key.  Seemingly remembering something again, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Sun Chengzong and said, "Ai Qing, what do you think of the Liaodong incident? Is now the best time to use troops?" This is also a question that Emperor Tianqi has been worrying about recently.  "Your Majesty, the reform of the military system has been completed now, but after all, the time is short and it is not suitable to use troops on a large scale. Besides, Your Majesty hasIt is intended to start a war in the Taiwan Strait, but it is even more unfavorable to start a war in Liaodong at this time.  However, we cannot just defend in Liaodong. We should harass and advance appropriately, and we should not give the slaves time to recuperate.  With Liaodong's military strength, there is no problem in doing these things.  Moreover, it can also train troops, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.  "Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said respectfully. Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "This matter has also been handed over to the Military Aircraft Department. You can give me Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Liaodong.  " "Yes, Your Majesty, if there is nothing else.  I have to resign first!  "When Sun Chengzong saw that Emperor Tianqi had finished speaking, he was about to leave. After getting Emperor Tianqi's permission, he turned around and left. " Nan Juyi, the Governor of Fujian's Yamen, who was talked about by Emperor Tianqi, was drinking tea at this time, looking intoxicated.  The afternoon sun shines in the lobby. This is Nan Juyi's rare leisure time and one of his few hobbies. For Nan Juyi, his career has reached this point.  He was born in Hanlin, and if he wanted to go further, there was basically no hope of becoming a governor of a province, and then he would be a governor. If he endured so much, I am afraid that the governor would not be able to reach the peak of civil servants.  This is a pity for the entire Nan family. In the eyes of others, the Nan family is a scholarly family, and it is already out of reach for many people to pass the imperial examination.  In the eyes of the Nan family, this was not enough. Originally, his grandfather was a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and he had great hope of reaching the top of the cabinet, but later he fell into the position of participating in politics in Shandong. It has to be said.  It was a great pity. Thinking about his grandfather's face when he passed away, Nan Juyi still felt heartbroken.  Ju Yi was heartbroken. But now Nan Ju Yi's heart was once again filled with hope. Since Emperor Tianqi came to the throne, he has reformed the government and paid more attention to military affairs. This is what Nan Ju Yi seems to have done, especially in this era.  After hearing about the Military Aircraft Department, the fighting spirit in Nan Juyi's heart burned again. He may not be able to serve as the Cabinet, but the Military Aircraft Department can! Emperor Tianqi placed the Military Aircraft Department on the same level as the Cabinet.  In terms of actual rights, the Military Aircraft Department became increasingly serious. It was at this time that the Dutch crashed here, which made Nan Juyi overjoyed. He knew that if he could handle this matter properly, it would be him.  After meeting Emperor Tianqi in Nanjing, Nan Juyi even wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. Once Emperor Tianqi announced the opening of the sea, it would definitely be possible for him to be transferred back to the capital and join the military aircraft department.  . In the past, Nan Juyi would not have had much hope, but it was different for Emperor Tianqi. Although this emperor was young, he was definitely able to know people well. "Sir, there are guests outside!  "The person following Nan Juyi is not the old housekeeper, but the concubine Liu who he took here. She has been with him for several years. He also gave birth to a son for him. Nan Juyi also enjoys the family relationship in Fujian.  Happy. Hearing Liu's words, Nan Juyi frowned slightly. What guests were there at this time? But he didn't ask Liu, because Liu must have reported this to his master.  Having been with him for many years, it is impossible not to know about his habit of taking a rest in the afternoon. There is only one possibility. This guest has a reason that he must see. He slowly stood up, adjusted his disguise, and glanced at Liu.  Nan Juyi said with a smile: "Cook some more dishes tonight, I want to have a few drinks, don't let the cook do it.  " "Don't worry, Master!  I will go and do it soon, and I will cook it myself.  " Mrs. Liu smiled gently. Mrs. Liu has always been very proud that Nan Juyi likes the dishes she cooks. Stepping into the living room, Nan Juyi saw the person sitting there, and was slightly surprised.  , there was still some joy, but there was no expression on his face. Seeing Nan Juyi walking in, Xu Xinsu felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Although Nan Juyi was afraid of this old man from the bottom of his heart.  He looks very elegant, even a bit nerdy, but Xu Xinsu knows that this Mr. Nan is definitely not one of those ungrateful officials. It is really not easy to fool him. "You are back?"  I thought you were gone forever, so how about this trip went smoothly?  "Nan Juren glanced at Xu Xinsu and asked with a smile, and his tone was very concerned. Although Nan Juyi gave people a feeling of spring breeze, Xu Xinsu didn't think so. The governor didn't have the rigidity of a scholar at all, and he didn't think so.  Without the integrity of those scholars, when threatening themselves with their own families, they have a look on their faces.?The same smile.  Not daring to show any slightness, Xu Xinsu said respectfully: "I know that I have sinned deeply, so it is my honor to be able to do things for you. What's more, I am not an ungrateful person if you show your kindness to me again. Why?  I'll leave without saying goodbye!" Nan Juyi smiled and nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with Xu Xinsu's answer. As for whether Xu Xinsu was scolding himself in his heart, Nan Juyi didn't seem to care at all.  After taking a look at Xu Xinsu, Nan Juyi said with a smile: "Tell me about your trip! " "Yes, sir!"  "In the past, Xu Xinsu might have cursed Nan Juyi in his heart, but now he will never do it. In the past, he was forced by Nan Juyi to work for the court, but now he really wants to work for the court. Since then  After Li Dan's death, Li Dan's power fell into the hands of Zheng Zhilong, which made Xu Xinsu very worried. After all, unlike Li Dan, Xu Xinsu was a simple businessman, not a pirate who had been roaming the seas for many years.  He was very good, but unlike Zheng Zhilong, the relationship between the two was very bad. Without Li Dan's blessing, he would be unable to move at sea. Before returning this time, the Dutch were already discussing the issue of protection fees with him.  This made Xu Xinsu so angry that it was absolutely impossible for Xu Xinsu to refuse. On the way, Xu Xinsu thought a lot. This supporter was undoubtedly the imperial court.  , Who dares to bully me? But from his own heart. There is nothing he can do about it. As a person like Xu Xinsu, he is naturally unwilling to deal with the court. This has penetrated into his bones, but for the sake of his future, Xu Xinsu cannot do it.  Regardless of this matter, of course it was a very long process. Without any concealment, Xu Xinsu told all about her experiences along the way, even the matter of the Dutch collecting their own tolls.  Waiting quietly, waiting for Nan Juyi to speak. After listening to Xu Xinsu's report, Nan Juyi nodded and said, "The big Frankie is here, do you know about this?  " " Sir, I heard some rumors. Although there are no big things happening in the Taiwan Strait now, there are constant small wars.  Zheng Zhilong is constantly purging and gathering small pirates, the Spanish are building fortresses and establishing their own bases, and the Dutch are also actively preparing for war.  At the same time, people were sent back to ask for support. Xiao Xiao felt that a war was inevitable.  "He just said what he knew. As for what to do, Xu Xinsu didn't even mention it. As a businessman, Xu Xinsu understands his position very well. What should be said and what should not be said is very important. Nan  Ju Yi's expression was very serious at this time. He instinctively felt that this was not a good thing. Daming should find a way to intervene and bring the matter under Daming's control. It would be difficult to deal with it in the future.  Governor Nan Juyi had a very long-term vision. In real history, it was this naval battle that completely determined Zheng Zhilong's position in the Taiwan Strait. Later, he defeated the Ming Dynasty's Fujian Navy and launched an attack on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty.  The looting has made the local situation very corrupt. Now Nan Juyi can only be anxious. He is the governor, not the governor! Is this wrong if he wants to mobilize local people on a large scale?  It's possible. Although the governor also has the power to command the military and political power of a province, he is also the commander. If it is to mobilize troops to put down rebellions or suppress bandits, these are not a problem, but when it comes to starting an external war, the governor does not have this.  Power. Now he can only wait for Emperor Tianqi's imperial edict, hoping that the imperial edict he will get is what he wants! After returning to his senses, Nan Juyi waved his hand and said, "This time it can be done.  Yes, I took note of it!  Go back and see your family. I am not such an unsympathetic person.  If you do your job well, I will never treat you badly afterwards.  "Although coercion can achieve the goal, Nan Juyi knows that forewarning is beneficial, so that he can work better for himself. How could Nan Juyi not hear Xu Xinsu's probing words just now? Give him one now  Reassurance is absolutely necessary. ¡°Yes, sir!  "Xu Xinsu stood up, bowed respectfully to Nan Juyi, and bowed before retreating. Nan Juyi also stood up. He was empty in his stomach. Liu's dishes were almost ready. It was time to have a drink.  ! On the vast sea, two people were drinking. Although the waves kept hitting the boat, not a drop of wine was spilled on the table, because every ship was very big.  In the middle of the fleet, more than a dozen big-bellied fortune ships were protected. This kind of big-bellied ships that specialize in transporting things are two times larger than the frigates on one side.The outermost part of the fleet is a dozen or so small boats, which are of course small boats compared to big ships.  The entire fleet consists of more than seventy warships, sailing on the sea, riding the wind and waves.  After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, Qi Jin glanced at Yu Zigao and said with a smile: "After so many days of training, I am only allowed to drink once today. Uncle Master is really strict." "Of course, this  "Uncle Master is not a mortal. Since Uncle Master took over the training, the changes in these soldiers have been obvious to all. Since we have invited Uncle Master here, it is naturally better to listen to him." Yu Zigao shook his head.  He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. His face suddenly showed an expression of enjoyment, and he glanced at Qi Jin on the side with contempt.  "We are about to go to war this time. This is the last chance to relax given by my uncle. I actually can't wait any longer. It would be a pity if such a good warship cannot show off its power on the sea."  Ignoring Yu Zigao, Qi Jin poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile.  Waving his hand, Yu Zigao said with a bit of flushing on his face: "Don't worry! You will fight the battle. I heard that the emperor is going to open the sea, and we will have an opportunity to make a fortune in the future. A lot of money,  Everything you grab is oily!" Qi Jin frowned, his face suddenly became serious, and said: "Why haven't you gotten rid of your love for money? This won't work, something will happen to your uncle sooner or later!  Have you forgotten what I taught you? Don¡¯t lose your uncle¡¯s reputation!¡± (To be continued)
