Chapter 200: If you become the watchdog of the Ming Dynasty, won’t you be able to eat bones?
Zhang Juzheng told the young emperor about the political structure of the Ming Dynasty. This political structure has been exactly the same since ancient times. Zhang Juzheng said that this was the inevitable result of the county system.
Zhu Yijun summarized the basic characteristics of the Ming Dynasty's politics as follows: the delegation of tasks at all levels of contracting, the financial intervention of budgetary contracts, and the result-oriented assessment and supervision. These three dimensions are the most typical and basic politics of the Ming Dynasty. feature.
This is completely opposite to the concepts of unification and centralization, but it is also unified.
Under the design of the Ming Dynasty's imperial system, it could not function normally without the emperor, because the emperor had decision-making power, veto power, intervention power and supervision power, but at the same time he also had extremely terrifying discretionary power, or Said it was a matter of authority.
The emperor is in charge of Yuanfu, Yuanfu is in charge of the second assistant, the cabinet is in charge of the courtiers, the courtiers are in charge of the six departments, the Jingtang Yamen, the Jingtang Yamen is in charge of the governor, chief secretary, press secretary and governor of the world, and the third level envoy of the provincial highway The governor and governor are in charge of each prefecture, and each prefecture is in charge of each county.
This is the most typical example of the Ming Dynasty. The lower level of management can only be managed to the next level. This is the basis for assigning contract tasks at all levels.
What Jingtang has is the power of personnel appointment and removal, and it is gradually establishing a result-oriented assessment and supervision.
If you complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, you will be promoted. If you fail to complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, I will give you a low rating. You will be listed as an incompetent person on the draft list. After becoming famous, you will lose your official position and be more likely to be investigated.
The examination method is a supplement to the result-oriented assessment and supervision system. Before this, it was called the Beijing Inspection Plan, and the six books and one account were the financial intervention of the budget package. Before that, the Ming Dynasty implemented Wherever there is a hole, there is a leakage accounting method.
Take the Datong section of the Xuanfu Great Wall as an example. The imperial court gave a total of 1.2 million taels of silver. Any excess is yours. If there is less, you can figure it out on your own. The imperial court sent the Ministry of War to inspect the left and right ministers and supervise the construction of the Great Wall. You If it is not built or is not built well, we must be held accountable, and the responsibility lies with the people.
If you follow these basic political characteristics to answer tribute, you will find something very interesting.
Wang Chonggu submitted a petition to end the war and make peace. The court agreed with Wang Chonggu's opinion. Wang Chonggu quoted a sum of more than one million taels. The court felt that the transaction was not a loss, so it budgeted for financial intervention and gave Wang Chonggu money. , as long as this matter is done properly, Wang Chonggu will be more or less responsible alone.
Looking at it this way, Wang Chonggu took the court's money and took the horses of the northern captives, which is very consistent with the basic administrative characteristics.
After all, Anda Khan did not disturb the border anymore, and Wang Chonggu completed the task of calming the border assigned to him by the court.
The account can indeed be calculated like this, because at that time, the Ming Dynasty really couldn't defeat Anda Khan. The generals were constantly killed. Fighting in the fortress meant death. Anda Khan had the absolute advantage of attacking. So for the court, one hundred It is not unacceptable to stabilize the border in case of tao.
The accounts cannot be settled like this, because times are changing. Since Li Chengliang took out Gule Village, Ming Dynasty is gradually recovering its ability to fight outside the fortress. If it wants to take money from the court again, the court will not agree.
When did Wang Chonggu stop using this money?
Ever since he was kicked out of the Wenhua Palace by Zhang Juzheng and returned to Xuanda to fill the hole, he has been working hard. As time goes by, the imperial court is recovering its ability to reward, reward, and punish, and will respect itself again. , that will kill people.
Zhang Siwei, Wu Dui, Fang Fengshi, and even Wang Chonggu's cousin Wang Chongya refused to give up the money they had obtained, and they ate it without spitting it out.
However, in the struggle with the emperor, the clan party suffered a complete defeat. This had a lot to do with the clan party completely handing over decision-making power to a fool.
Emperor Wanli began to study in the imperial court for the prince since the fourth year of Longqing. The evaluation of the courtiers was very low, especially Gao Gong. It was also based on this basic logic that absolute decision-making power could not be given to idiots. Zhang Juzheng He thought that Emperor Wanli could be trained to be less stupid.
The best time for the Ming Dynasty to clean up the ethnic party and clean up the Jin party should be when Qi Jiguang completely drove the Tuman Khan out of the Liaodong area east of the Daxianbei Mountain and let the Tuman Khan If there is a direct conflict with An Dahan, then it will not be a half-cooked meal.
Zhang Siwei took the lead in making the decision and started a fire to burn down the palace. If he could not burn down the emperor, he would also burn down the three wives to attend the pilgrimage. This was a stupid decision and the final result of lack of generosity and perseverance. For the clan party, it is also a pot of uncooked rice.
The ethnic party is not fully ready. It has not bribed most of the bureaucrats, generals, and generals, creating a common understanding that the court is harsh on the ethnic party and we have to fight against it. Even the corrupt people Silver, grain, grass, and horses have not yet been converted into combat effectiveness.
Wang Chonggu, his biological uncle, abandoned the clan party.
Because Wang Chonggu knew very well that it was very stupid to compete with the Beijing camp under the support of the emperor and commanded by Qi Jiguang to increase their combat effectiveness.
As for the ethnic party, a community of interests with the privileged economy as its core cohesion, regarding military pay, is the northwest ethnic party willing to give even a small benefit to the soldiers who are trapped in food and salary?
The result was as Wang Chonggu expected. Zhang Siwei did nothing. It was difficult to burn the emperor to death, and the success rate was much lower than drowning. The most outrageous thing about Zhu Yijun was to let the Sanniang see her on the foundation. .
Zhang Siwei led the Jin Party into misfortune.
Wang Chonggu looked at the suspicious looks cast by Chen Xuexue and Sanniangzi, and could only relax the atmosphere by drinking tea. He took this money in the fifth and sixth years of Longqing and the first year of Wanli, but he stopped taking it later. , the second, third and fourth years of Wanli.
"Later, I didn't even take the money, it was all taken away by Zhang Siwei and the others!" Wang Chonggu was looked at, and after all, he became a little angry and argued for himself.
"Sister, since you have come to court to discuss the price of horses and silver, then discuss it carefully. Your Majesty has already pardoned my crime. It will be useless even if you bring it to His Majesty. Don't even think of using this as a condition for negotiation. !" Wang Chonggu stated that he has been pardoned, and according to the basic rule of double punishment, His Majesty will not continue to pursue him.
The most fearful thing about some things is reconciliation.
Wang Chonggu is essentially a businessman. He likes a steady stream of business rather than a one-time deal. Sure enough, now that the accounts have been reconciled, the secret has been exposed.
The negotiation began. As a follower, Wang Chonggu paid special attention to the negotiation part. He really did not give in at all. In the end, a result acceptable to both parties was formed. The upper-grade horse was six silver and five cents, and the medium-grade horse was six silver and five cents. The price of a horse is four silver and seven cents, and 50,000 horses are provided every year. The result is that the best horses are at least 20,000.
The court does not want inferior horses.
The Ming court’s horse price silver expenditure was 270,000 taels of silver. For the Ming Dynasty, it saved more than 700,000 taels of silver for one year. For Sanniangzi, she gained more by entering Beijing this time. Lots of silver.
The more than 200,000 taels of silver that Sanniangzi mentioned includes the income from border trade. The horse-priced silver has increased Anda Khan's income.
The price of wool purchased by the Ming Dynasty was quite generous. Every year, Anda Khan could exchange horses and wool from the Ming Dynasty for goods worth more than half a million silver taels.
"I'm curious, why doesn't Sanniang Sanniang bring back some gold, silver, jewelry, jade, silk, etc. every time she does border trade?" At the end of the negotiation, Wang Chonggu had some doubts after knowing Sanniang's cargo list.
On Sanniangzi’s list, there are no gold, silver, jewels, jade, or even silk. They are all pots of salt, cloth, and tea. It has been many years. The things Sanniangzi brought back from Ming Dynasty were not luxurious. Enjoy what you use, even the national cellars, imperial chairs and other items that Huangzhuang strongly recommends.
Sanniangzi also brought back a few bottles of Guojiao, which were gifts from the emperor.
Sanniangzi did not answer immediately, holding an abacus and calculating the gains and losses of this trip to Beijing.
“I like it, but if you take it back, the grassland people will not be able to survive this winter. You people don’t harvest at night and burn the wasteland every year. The burned grassland cannot survive the winter at all! The white-haired wind outside the Great Wall is so fierce , Is this something people in the Guan Dynasty can imagine?" Sanniangzi closed her account book, Ming Dynasty made a lot of money, and the grassland didn't suffer too much.
The Northern Barbarians like to go south to plunder, and the Ming Dynasty likes to go out to burn the wilderness. The burning lasts for an entire autumn. This kind of mutual harm is very fatal.
Anda Khan won the battle, but the burning of wasteland never stopped, and the grassland suffered heavy losses. In the fifth year of Longqing, the conflict ended with Anda paying tribute, and the war entered an intermittent period.
The Northern Barbarians no longer went south, and the Ming Dynasty no longer burned wasteland, and everything was considered stable.
The third lady leaned on the back of her chair and said helplessly: "When the white-haired wind blows, the sky and the earth hang upside down, and everything is white. People and animals are under the anger of the Changsheng Heaven, and the white-haired wind blows. It’s the same. Some tribes disappear on the grasslands every year. The situation in Monan is slightly better. In the Oarahe Forest north of the desert, in winter, everyone huddles together to spend the winter.”
“The old man is the one on the outside. , then there are women, then there are children, and at the end there are adults.”
Sanniangzi was talking about spending the winter on the grassland. Her tone was not intense, but also very calm. She seemed to be stating a common thing. This is how the grassland people spend the winter. They freeze to death and starve to death first, and then freeze to death and starve to death. Women, children, and finally adults also froze to death and starved to death, and the tribe was wiped out.
On the grassland, many tribes disappear every year and become nutrients for the grassland.
Sanniangzi is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. The Ming Dynasty actually does not know much about the outside world. The reason why she said these painful things and opened the wounds to see is to win sympathy and to explain her Lord and the firm stand.
Sanniangzi’s remarks can win the sympathy of the Ming Dynasty, and this sympathy will have substantial benefits. The Ming Dynasty, or the unified dynasty of the Central Plains, has always been a disadvantage, a high moral disadvantage.
From the king to the people of the Ming Dynasty, in the current world, the moral integrity far exceeds that of any barbarians.
High morals are both a disadvantage and an advantage.
"Don't you know how to build a city? Once you build a city, the city's wind and cold resistance will be far better than felt." Chen Xuexue asked a little strangely.
The grasslands are not without suitable places for building cities. The Northern Yuan Dynasty built the city on both sides of the Daxianbei Mountains and near the Yin Mountain. In the seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han Dynasty Marquis Chen Boluo sent a letter to Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, to build a city. Yingchang was settled in the city, and later it was also common to build cities on the grasslands.
For example, during the Hongwu and Yongle years of Daning Wei, there was a saying that there were ninety cities outside the Great Ning.
But as time went by, Beilu became more and more active and went back.
"After the city was built, the Ming army came." Sanniangzi shook her head and said: "Tuman Khan likes Daning Guard very much and stays with Daning Guard all year round. Qi Jiguang didn't catch him and rushed to the whole country. Is that place Ningwei? "
What Sanniangzi said is a common fact. In the confrontation between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty, the grassland is not qualified to build a city, because once the city is built, the Ming Dynasty knows the gathering place of the grassland outside the Great Wall. It will be pulled out, just like Gule Village.
If the Ming Dynasty could catch Anda Khan's golden-domed tent where it was staying, the northwest would not have been fighting for so many years, and it would be impossible to win.
"The Immortal God has given us the ability to survive on horseback, allowing us to control the bow and string, but the Immortal God has not given us a life, leaving us short of pot, cloth, salt and tea. So I am here." Sanniangzi's The supporters are die-hard peace negotiators, and their number is definitely not a minority.
"In fact, we also have a more extreme voice. Some people in the tribe are envious of the guards of Xuanfu and Datong. The generals do treat the soldiers as cattle, but Xuanfu and Datong do not need to do it every year. With 50,000 horses and 60,000 bags of wool, you can get more than 2 million in military pay from the court." The third lady didn't finish her words. Her words about "watchdog" were not her own nonsense, but a common phenomenon. understanding.
The concept of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom itself was given by the Ming Dynasty, so the subjects of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom naturally had doubts about their self-identity. Is the Ming Dynasty Jin Kingdom the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty? Where are the enemies?
The second half of Sanniangzi’s extreme voice is: Why not directly annex the Ming Dynasty and turn the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom into the border of the Ming Dynasty? Wouldn’t it be possible to get food and salary from the court without having to work hard to herd sheep and horses? ? This is also profitable for the Ming Dynasty. The northwest does not need Xuanda's annual 2.5 million taels of silver and 380,000 shi of grain to maintain it.
And Anda Khan refused to advance this process for the sake of the glory of the Golden Family!
Wang Chonggu knew that this topic could not be discussed any longer, so he walked away directly.
Sanniangzi asked this question very well.
The Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty had to exchange horses and wool for 500,000 silver. However, Xuanda and Da in the northwest could still get more than 2 million taels of silver after being defeated all day long. The military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty totaled 6.4 million, and Xuanda directly took it. More than two million yuan was taken away. Even if one million silver coins were cut, there would still be more than one million taels left! Just because Xuanda is a border town of the Ming Dynasty, then if the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty becomes a border town of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't the watchdog also be able to eat the bones?
Sanniangzi received an invitation. This invitation was not from Jin Party, Chu Party, or Zhejiang Party, but from Sun Jigao, one of the Nine Elders of Donglin.
Sanniangzi saw this invitation and ultimately did not attend the appointment. This Sun Jigao was the number one scholar in the second year of Wanli, but he was called to debate scriptures by the little emperor. He was ruthlessly defeated by the little emperor. The number one scholar debated with a child. , but she couldn't say that such a strange news was known to the third lady outside the Great Wall.
Sun Jigao, as the number one scholar, could not defend the child, so he was also taken to the West. Even Felipe II heard Gao Qiyu talk about this interesting incident. Gao Qiyu used this incident to defend his emperor. Mingjun makes a footnote.
Gao Qiyu traveled extensively in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and England, and he probably wanted to take this story to these places.
Sanniangzi came to the capital to negotiate peace. Every move she made was under the eyes of the court. Any random actions at this time would affect the peace talks. Moreover, Sanniangzi also knew the style of scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Be pragmatic and pragmatic. Talking to them can't produce any results, so it's better not to go.
The only pragmatic people in the Ming Dynasty were Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, and Wang Chonggu and his like were more like ministers who gathered wealth and power, and could be considered pragmatic.
Only these pragmatic people are really difficult to communicate with. Their way of thinking is too weird. For example, Wu Dui, Fang Fengshi, Zhang Siwei, Wang Chongya and others are all such people. Sanniangzi used to follow When dealing with people like this, a very simple matter can be made extremely complicated by these people.
Talking with cheap Confucianists will yield no results.
The most typical characteristic of a pragmatic and humble Confucian is that he talks for the sake of talking, but never talks about anything practical. He talks in empty words, as if he only needs one camp, and any conflict of interest is just a fool's errand.
However, money, grain, iron pots, salt, cloth, and tea are all benefits.
She then went to the official woolen factory by the Yongding River and took a tour. She was a little envious when she saw the large number of people gathered near the official factory. She knew that the imperial court's business would definitely continue. That's enough.
When Zhu Yijun met with the Third Lady, he was not on the foundation. If he had still met on the foundation, Ma Ziqiang, the new Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, would have committed suicide to apologize. The meeting place was in the side hall of Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Yijun held a long steel tube in his hand. On the long tube, there was a rear sight and a front sight.
The eyes, rear sight, and front sight can form three points and one line for aiming.
Three points and one line are also the result of degree bypass. Three points can only determine a straight line.
Coupled with the gun holder and gun machine, this is a bird gun.
This is a new fire gun tube made in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun is very satisfied with this pipe material. This is not a seamless steel pipe. It just applies the internal cooling technology of cannon making to a cast pipe. It is a semi-finished product. It will be made of iron later. A piece as big as a chopstick is used as a cold bone. Carburizing and forging begins. After the forging is completed, a four-sided steel cone as big as a chopstick is turned through it to make the aurora pure and there is no blockage in the discharge of the medicine. Then the steel cone is used for boring. The rifling is shaved to allow the lead to rotate more accurately.
Qi Jiguang said very clearly that the rifling was mainly designed to facilitate cleaning the inner wall of the gun. Later, he discovered the wonderful use of this thing.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty pays you your respects." The Third Lady saluted and frowned as she looked at the various objects placed in the subdivisions of the Wenhua Hall, especially the piles of books placed in the seven display windows.
Many of the objects here have traces of use. Obviously, these are not displayed for people to see, but are actually used by the little emperor.
"No gift." Zhu Yijun signaled Zhang Hong to hand a fire gun tube to Sanniangzi and said: "The good thing Qi Shuai just made. In the past, the Ming Dynasty could only forge 10,000 fire gun tubes a year. Now the Ming Dynasty We can make 50,000 guns a year.”
Sanniang got the firegun tube and knew exactly what it was!
She also has a fire gun, a very beautiful fire gun that she took away from Wu Dui's private residence. This thing is crudely made, but it is an embryo. It only needs to be forged to become a powerful fire gun.
"Your Majesty, a king who loves benevolence will surely rule the world. If you want to be a king, you can only be strong in benevolence! Today, I see that your majesty is surrounded by people who gather together and are fond of soldiers. Mencius said: You can't be determined to be benevolent. , live in sorrow and humiliation, and fall into death!"
"God has the virtue of good life! Ji Jiran carries out benevolent policies to nourish the people, and then the hearts of the people will be restored, and the king's career will be achieved!" The third lady looked at the fire in her hand! Gunslinger, I advise the little emperor to practice benevolent government and not to go astray. If you go further and further on the wrong path, you will have to turn back and find a safe place!
"No...if Yan Guan told me so, that's all. Mrs. Zhongshun is an outsider, so don't talk about it." Zhu Yijun was immediately amused.
Sanniangzi said that the emperor was surrounded by people who gathered and were good at fighting. This was not practicing benevolent government. He should hold high the banner of benevolent government, rest and recuperate, win people's hearts, and maintain his rule.
Sanniang Zi also knew that the taste was wrong, but she really had no other choice, so she had to resort to retreat, but the emperor didn't accept it at all.
She thought for a while and frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty relies on the power of firearms, but they don't know that these firearms cannot be used on rainy days."
Zhu Yijun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I practice martial arts, and my bow and arrows are useless on rainy days. It doesn't work either. You northern invaders invade in summer and autumn, and we attack in winter and spring during the Ming Dynasty. We will choose the right time for ourselves."
Sanniangzi discovered that this little emperor is not easy to fool.
"Mrs. Zhongshun, I let you see this fire blunderbuss, just to tell you, and also let you tell the people outside the border, that the Ming Dynasty was determined to promote martial arts. These are not Mr. Qi and Shuai. I am supporting them. , I practice martial arts myself, this is also a kind of support, don’t make a mistake." Zhu Yijun’s tone was calm, but there was a threat inside and outside.
For Anda Khan, the disputes in Daningwei can be just a sit-in-the-mountain watch, but in the coming war, Anda Khan will be on pins and needles.
The Ming Dynasty aimed to completely drive the Tuman Khan away from Liaodong in the past few years. Whether the left wing merged with the right wing or took the opportunity to go south to intimidate the court, that was not what Zhu Yijun wanted to see.
Zhu Yijun hoped that the conflict between Ming Dynasty and Ada Khan would intensify and be ignited when the court regains control.
However, he had already eaten a bowl of rice with raw rice. If An Dahan insisted on letting the little emperor eat a second bowl of rice with raw food, Zhu Yijun wouldn't mind.
The expansion of the Beijing camp to 120,000 troops is to prevent the inability to eat raw food.
"My wife obeys the decree." The third lady no longer used her rhetoric and said with a solemn face.
"Mrs. Zhongshun has been running around many times, and the provocations have gradually stopped. The Holy Mother is kind and said that it is not easy for Mrs. Zhongshun. Today I will give you a pair of Ruyi and a big cloak. I will give you a fire gun so that you can do it yourself." Zhu Yijun motioned to Feng Baoen to reward him. The people below have already talked about it. After that, Zhu Yijun just went through the process and gave the reward as a routine.
"Your Majesty, if King Shunyi is willing to annex the Ming Dynasty, maybe the people outside the border will be stable?" The third lady suddenly asked after thanking her.
"I heard Qi Shuai say, Mrs. Zhongshun read the theory of contradiction?" Zhu Yijun did not answer the question directly, but asked a rhetorical question.
"Read it." Sanniangzi nodded and said.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "We haven't fought enough yet. Let's fight a few more times until one party completely admits defeat before we can reach a state of peace."
"Your Majesty is wise." Sanniangzi sighed. , the imperial court is expanding its army and fighting, and wars will still happen.
Zhu Yijun also rewarded Sanniangzi with a Nuremberg egg watch. This watch can accurately measure time, which is an extra bonus.
Yin Zhengmao, the uncle of Surabaya of the Ming Dynasty, appeared in the port of Manila with a five-masted transoceanic ship deployed to the Luzon Governor's Palace.
When the big ship arrived at the port, it attracted everyone's attention and rushed to tell everyone. Everyone in Manila gathered at the port. When they saw the big ship moored and Yin Zhengmao standing on the bow, everyone There was a huge cheer and the crowd was buzzing.
Yin Zhengmao left Manila. Everyone knew that Yin Zhengmao went to get the ship. Everyone was worried about whether he could get it.
Got it.
Zhang Yuanxun was moved to serve as a reinforcement by Ling Yunyi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so it was Deng Zilong who picked up the ship.
After reading the imperial edict, Deng Zilong wondered for a long time before saying: "Sure enough, it is the same as our guess. Yin Butang is indeed the Zhu family member of the royal family who is living abroad. These are all national surnames. It’s gone!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Yin Zhengmao raised his eyebrows, this joke is completely unbearable.
"Has the Hongmao Fan's big ship arrived at the port?" Yin Zhengmao was more concerned about this issue. This year's big ship was later than in previous years.
"Here he is, he's not here either. Antonio has already arrived. Let's talk about it when we meet." Deng Zilong glanced at Luo Lian and sighed.
Antonio looked lonely and smelled of alcohol. After Deng Zilong's retelling, Yin Zhengmao knew what happened.
Antonio has five large sailing ships. Last year, three came, and two almost got lost. But this time, three came, and two completely disappeared in the boundless sea.
One ship was directly cut in half by a huge wave that suddenly rose out of the water, and some sailors were rescued, while the other ship got lost. A ship that lacks a captain and gets lost at sea is equivalent to being declared dead. .
Weird waves, in Thai and Western culture, are water jets ejected by sea monsters. They are a strange giant wave ten feet high that appears suddenly and for no reason in calm conditions. It comes very quickly. , go quickly.
Antonio's mood has not been very high. When he saw the Ming Dynasty's five-masted and twenty-one-sail ship, Antonio finally regained consciousness.
"This ship was still in the dock of Songjiang Prefecture last year. Will it be in the hands of Governor Yin this year?" Antonio looked at the five-masted ocean-going ship in horror. He remembered that he donated money to the ship last year. The Ming Emperor was very happy and finally agreed to invest and support Antonio.
The Ming Emperor promised to sell this boat to Antonio.
Yin Zhengmao stood on the pier, looked at the five-masted ship, and said with a smile: "Yes, if you want to buy it, you have to go to the capital and ask for His Majesty's edict, Daming Shipyard Twelve five-masted transoceanic ships are being built.”
“Really? It really solves my urgent problem. How do you put it?” Antonio was so lucky. I went to Beijing last year to donate my treasures. It was a lucky thing to be able to buy a ship from Ming Dynasty.
Ocean-going ships must have multiple ships to share risks. The most important silver is placed on his flagship. He has money but no ships. This is what troubles him the most.
When he saw the five-masted ocean crossing ship, Antonio became extremely happy.
An ocean-going ship that is more advanced than a large sailing ship.
Yesterday I posted a screenshot in the group. It was about merchants from the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, who called themselves the watchdogs of the Ming Dynasty. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
