Chapter Thirty-Three Trading the Blueprints of Daming Treasure Ships
To talk about why Zhu Houzhao wanted to chop up Liu Daxia, a famous minister of Hongzhi, and feed it to dogs, we have to start a long time ago.
Zhu Houzhao had also thought about going overseas before, thinking about colonizing overseas and plundering all the overseas wealth to the Ming Dynasty, so as to alleviate the internal conflicts in the Ming Dynasty and prevent the various power groups in the Ming Dynasty from always thinking about making money.
When enclosing territory, you must learn to go out and take a longer-term view.
The result was that Zhu Houzhao was almost angry to death. Liu Daxia destroyed all the Ming Dynasty treasure ship manufacturing blueprints left by the Yongle Dynasty, as well as various navigation materials, information about overseas countries, etc. It was said that it was for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's finances and to cut off future emperors.
The thought of going to sea.
The shipbuilding blueprints are all gone, and overseas colonization is out of the question. Even the warships used in the attack on Fusang were made by a group of old craftsmen who survived the Xuande period based on their memories. They are far less powerful.
The real Ming Dynasty treasure ship.
With all these bastard behaviors, it’s strange that Zhu Houzhao didn’t hate Liu Daxia. Zhu Houzhao hated the three people most in his life, Yang Hao, Zhu Qizhen, and the mentally ill Liu Daxia.
If Liu Daxia was really thinking about the Ming Dynasty's finances, even if the reason for destroying the Ming Dynasty treasure ship manufacturing blueprints was a bit ridiculous, Zhu Houzhao would not be unable to accept it. However, when he suppressed the coastal wealthy families, he actually found some Ming Dynasty treasure ship manufacturing blueprints from several families.
, this made Zhu Houzhao completely hate Liu Daxia, the kind of person who hated him to the core.
They verbally care about the Ming Dynasty's finances, but in fact they use the Ming Dynasty's most precious things to make profits for themselves. Such bastards cannot conquer the world without killing them.
Even in his world, Liu Daxia was dead and even his grave was dug up by Liu Jin. He still couldn't forgive his hatred and wanted to kill Liu Daxia again. For this reason, he did not hesitate to pay a sky-high price of 50 million taels for Liu Daxia's head.
Zhu Qizhen brought the Ming Dynasty from strength to gradual decline, and his actions of calling out the Ming Dynasty completely disgraced the Ming Dynasty. However, Liu Daxia ruined the opportunity for the rise of the Ming Dynasty. He did not cut the Ming Dynasty into pieces and smashed his bones into ashes. Zhu Houzhao
The breath I was holding in my heart couldn't be released.
"Zhao'er, Liu Daxia is my loyal minister after all. Even if he offends you, you can't do such a cruel thing."
Although fifty million taels of silver was very tempting and he was tempted, Emperor Hongzhi still rejected Zhu Houzhao's deal. Liu Daxia was a pillar of the imperial court, how could money be bought and sold.
At the same time, he did not forget to teach this strange son a lesson: "As a king, you must have a broad mind, and you must not separate yourself from the wise ministers because of temporary anger. It will not help the country, the country, and the country. Only when the king and ministers are of one mind can the world be stable."
"
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but secretly praise him. With such magnanimity, he was worthy of being the king of the prosperous Ming Dynasty.
However, they were also a little surprised, how could the majestic Zhu Youtang give birth to a son like Zhu Houzhao, who was so ruthless and lawless that even their ancestors didn't respect him very much.
But they didn't know that both the late Hongzhi Emperor in Zhu Houzhao's world and the Hongzhi Emperor in front of him were short-lived. They died young and passed away before they could teach Zhu Houzhao to become a qualified king.
If he could live longer and leave more trump cards to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao would not be constrained by Liu Jian, Xie Qian and other civil servant groups when he first came to the throne.
"Paying money to kill ministers is simply ridiculous."
Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded loudly, completely forgetting that he was also extremely tempted by Zhu Houzhao's fifty million taels of silver just now.
Zhu Houzhao likes to watch him teach Zhu Di, Zhu Yunwen, his uncle and nephew, and he also wants to see Zhu Houzhao being reprimanded. You are an unscrupulous descendant. You have a lot of money, and you also got benefits from other worlds. You don't even know how to share it with your ancestors. You deserve it.
Your boy is being trained.
"That's right, if you are so cruel and unkind, how can I, Zhu Di, have descendants like you?"
Zhu Di followed Zhu Yuanzhang closely, without blushing when he spoke. Who could compare to him in terms of cruelty and ruthlessness? Didn't he destroy the ten tribes of Fang Xiaoru?
Different words, the same thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are indeed the most similar father and son. They even have the same sinister mentality and want to see Zhu Houzhao's jokes.
"Zhu Houzhao..."
Zhu Qizhen hated Zhu Houzhao for beating him violently before, and wanted to teach him a lesson to satisfy him, but it was obvious that he was not Zhu Yuanzhang, nor Zhu Di, and could not restrain Zhu Houzhao at all. He was frightened by Zhu Houzhao's look and said what he said.
I forced myself to hold it back.
Even his great-grandson was afraid. Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but blush for himself. Then he vented his anger on Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen: "Look at your good grandson."
If Zhu Houzhao, the fierce and decisive great-grandson, could not be suppressed, then Zhu Jianshen, the son, could not be suppressed. Zhu Qizhen did not believe in that evil. His name had the word "zhen" in it!
Zhu Jianshen was speechless, this could all be related to him.
Facing the lessons of Zhu Zhu Youtang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Di, Zhu Houzhao was a little speechless. Zhu Youxian just taught him a lesson. After all, Zhu Youxian was the most benevolent emperor in the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Gaochi, and he never liked killing.
But Zhu Yuanzhang, why did Zhu Di teach him a lesson, and had the nerve to say that he was cruel and unkind, but he didn't even want to lose his face. Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong, Fang Xiaoru and others didn't know who killed him.
He didn't bother to explain more. Since Emperor Hongzhi is here, it means that Liu Daxia is still alive. As long as he is still alive, there is no way he can escape from his grasp. Sooner or later, he will be cut into thousands of pieces, his bones crushed and ashes thrown away to vent his anger.
The hatred in my heart.
In short, he was sure to kill Liu Daxia, even if the Jade Emperor came, it would be useless. Zhu Houzhao said it himself.
"Grandpa Taizu, Master Yongle, you can save yourself the trouble. I guess you don't care about Liu Daxia's life or death. We can negotiate a deal."
Zhu Houzhao said calmly, although it was a pity that he could not kill Liu Daxia, it also reminded him that Zhu Di had the blueprints for the Ming Dynasty treasure ship that Liu Daxia destroyed.
It's nothing more than spending money to buy it. What he lacks most now is money. The silver mined from Iwami Silver Mountain and the gold and silver treasures looted from suppressing all the forces are still in the Leopard Room's treasure house!
"trade?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di looked at each other, both of them were confused. What kind of deal could they have with Zhu Houzhao? What they had, Zhu Houzhao had, and what they didn't, Zhu Houzhao also had.
"I can pay 100 million taels of silver to buy the Ming Dynasty treasure ship manufacturing blueprints from Lord Yongle, as well as various navigation materials and information about overseas countries."
"I can give you 50 million taels of silver for the warship manufacturing blueprints in Grandmaster Taizu's hands and for training the naval forces on military tactics."
Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake, and Zhu Di made seven voyages to the Western Ocean with Ming treasure ships. Their manufacturing technology was very good. With the blueprints for warships manufactured by the two dynasties, Zhu Houzhao was confident that he could develop his own Zhengde warships and use his huge fleet to dominate the world.
Capture endless wealth.
Although 150 million taels of silver sounds a bit too much, Zhu Houzhao doesn't care. Money is meant to be spent. If you can get the warship manufacturing technology of the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties, no matter how much money you pay, it will be worth it.
He can use those warships to take back ten times, a hundred times or even more wealth from overseas.
Knowledge is priceless, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Houzhao hated Liu Daxia deeply for destroying the blueprints for making the Ming Dynasty treasure ship, and he always held a grudge against him.
