He once thought of doing it according to the democracy of later generations, but now it is the great Ming Dynasty. The people who have been ruled by feudal society for many years are afraid that they will not adapt to accepting democracy. Of course, he can also use his supreme authority to force it. But if that's the case, let alone any new internal problems, just say that once democracy is true, will the people agree to his continued expansion of power?
The people are peace loving. As long as they live well, they will be satisfied. Where will you support expansion? If you don't do well at that time, you will really lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot.
In order to achieve the unprecedented ideal in his heart, Yang Chendong must centralize power in the central government, or even in himself. For this reason, even if he took the blame of being a belligerent and butcher, he also admitted it. But in this way, how to manage their own internal and make them impeccable has become the top priority and even the problem that must be solved.
"Sixth young master, the dismissed company commander was also coerced. I heard that the company commander had a very beautiful wife, which was favored by assistant Xie Kun. He wanted to persuade them to join him first. The company commander disagreed with him, so he had this experience."
Long Yuntian was still there, and Yang Chendong shook his head. "Well, the young master already knows what happened. I'll send someone to check it. If it's true as you said, you'll be innocent, but what should we do before the matter comes to an end? Don't scare the snake. Understand?"
It's just the words of a family. Yang Chendong can't completely believe it. He just takes it as a reference view. But being able to say this shows that he has doubts about this matter. Long Yuntian, who knelt on the ground, was overjoyed. After knocking his head to the ground for several times, he withdrew under the sign of Yang er's eyes.
"Young master." there was no one else in the room. Yang Er carefully asked for instructions.
"Well, long Yuntian's words can't be ignored, but if you don't investigate, you have no right to speak. In this way, after you arrive at the chixian City, you can go down to investigate privately to see if things are as long Yuntian said. Remember, don't make trouble. We can't let a bad man go, but we can't wrong a good man." Yang Chendong still doesn't mean to investigate openly. How to say, the former Wu is also the candidate recommended by Luan Xiaoyu. He can't make a decision without conclusive evidence.
"OK." Yang Er nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
Long Yuntian's secret meeting with Yang Chendong was unknown except for Yang ER and several core guards. It was like it didn't happen. Another day passed. On this morning, Long Yun came to report a few days ago and said that if everything went well, he could arrive at chixian city tomorrow. Yang Chendong took his three wives out to blow the sea breeze. Coincidentally, just as they appeared, several merchant ships with obviously larger shelves appeared on their side not far away.
Suddenly, an unknown ship approached. Instinctively, Yang Er ordered the guard to be ready for battle. At the same time, report to Yang Chendong and ask the young master and several ladies to enter the cabin to have a rest.
"No harm." Yang Chendong stood on the deck and shook his head. He had seen those ships with bright five-star flags. With this, even if the other party was not his own, he should be friends. Moreover, he has already asked that this is the open sea area of chixian City, which is only about 500 nautical miles away from the city. If it is not safe here, the first army on the sea will really eat dry food.
Of course, there is another main reason why Yang Chendong made this judgment, that is, he didn't see the panic of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of the first division. Presumably, they should know the caravan, or know and be familiar with what they are.
Facts confirmed Yang Chendong's idea. When the distance between the two sides was less than ten nautical miles, a small boat was sent from the other side's big ship and began to approach them. At this time, with the help of a telescope, Yang Chendong saw that the small people were all blonde Western foreigners.
"How the fuck did you grow like this?" Yang Er looked at the foreigners in the telescope. He was very curious. While scolding, he called the acting head long Yuntian and asked, "who are they? What are they going to do? Don't you know who is on the ship? Inform them and keep them away."
"Yes." long Yuntian nodded again and again, then went to the bow of the ship, personally commanded the flagman to make a sign, informed the other party that the ship was not allowed to approach, and fired a shot after asking Yang Chendong for instructions. The shell was falling directly in front of the boat, causing a huge wave.
One shot went out. Sure enough, the other party's boat stopped. After seeing the contents of the flag played by long Yuntian, he replied that they didn't mean any harm. He just wanted to ask long Yuntian if they had anything to sell. They were willing to charge a high price. "
"Tell them no, let them stay away, otherwise they will all sink and throw them into the sea to feed the fish." Yang er said unhappily, and then went to Yang Chendong to report what happened.
"Call long Yuntian over." Yang Chendong was interested in this sudden merchant ship. He believed that the other party did not know the importance of himself on the ship and his people. The reason why they did this must not be the first time. Trying to lean over is just a habit and want to hit luck.
Long Yuntian was soon called in front of Yang Chendong. The matter about the merchant ship soon came to an end.
This is indeed a merchant shipping team. They belong to a force called the kingdom of Portugal. They really wanted to trade with them just now. Countless facts have proved that mercenary fleets often have good things that can't be bought or seen outside.
Businessmen pursue profits. They just want to complete a transaction. After receiving the serious warning from long Yuntian, he has returned.
"Portugal." Yang Chendong smiled. In this era, the kingdom of Portugal is still very powerful. Together with Spain, they were brilliant in this era. In history, after more than 20 years, the northern Moroccan city of tangia, which has long been competing with Spain, is finally occupied by the Portuguese, they will develop stronger.
Similarly, in history, the Portuguese fleet should not have found Daming. It was through the efforts of generations of sailors that it really opened the East and west world. Among them are Magellan and Galileo. Only in this life, because Kaohsiung and others got the map given by Yang Chendong and went to the West first, they accelerated their contact with the western world, and only then did they appear in this sea area so early.
"Do they usually do the same? Do they also cut off ships on the way to buy things?" Yang Chendong looked at long Yuntian and asked a key question.
"Yes, they often do this. But we won't deal with them. The navy has Navy regulations and can't stop the ship without an order, so their actions are meaningless. But although they didn't succeed once, they still did it. This perseverance really doesn't know what to say." long Yuntian faced this problem, The answer was soon given.
"OK, I know." Yang Chendong nodded. He was relieved of the Navy's style. It's not a good thing for them to be so close to the red inlaid city. It seems necessary to arrange Kaohsiung to talk to them. You can sell them some things at a high price. At the same time, it's just to explore their tone and learn more about the situation in the west, which will play a very important role in expediting there in the future.
The emergence of Portuguese merchant ships has made Yang Chendong eager to send troops and conquer the West. There are still good resources in some places, which can be occupied early and owned by himself, which is part of his grand plan in the future.
Under the threat of gunfire, Portuguese merchant ships gradually moved away. The next morning, the first regiment successfully entered the offshore area of chiembedded city. In the morning, the fleet finally appeared in front of the new wharf. From a distance, we can see the welcoming trend of crowds.
It was a long distance before, and I couldn't see anything. But now it's near, and the majestic style of the red inlaid city is really in everyone's sight. The three ladies could not help but marvel. Even Qiao Yin, the first two ladies who came to Li, had to sigh at this moment. A few years later, today's chixian city has become more magnificent.
"Back again!" after a sigh, Yang Chendong stepped off the ship and set foot on the land of chixian city again.
The sixth young master returned to chixian city. The second lady was pregnant, which made the whole palace lively. On that night, when Yang Chendong was alone with Hu Yan, he raised the issue of children and said his concerns.
Hu Yan is a very kind woman. She has always had a very good relationship with qiaoyin and other sisters. Knowing this, Yang Chendong confidently told her ideas, including some new rules that need to be established, and so on.
Hu Yan agreed to Yang Chendong's request. She lay in Yang Chendong's arms with a happy look on her face. "Dongshuai, you are very considerate. This should form rules. In the future, if any sister is pregnant, you should do so. I will also do it by example. Unless my second sister allows me to pass, I will never casually step into her yard."
"Wronged you." Yang Chendong felt Hu Yan's kindness and stroked her arm.
