Chapter 2518
Although the vassal kings entrusted to the localities in the Ming Dynasty could enjoy the glory and wealth, they basically had no chance of inheriting the throne. Therefore, these vassal kings' views on dynastic change were still very different from those of Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City.
For Chongzhen, the change of dynasty meant that the Zhu family lost the world, and he was no longer the king who ruled the world. It is not an exaggeration to describe this as the sky falling.But for the vassal who has no real power and can only stay in the fief all his life, it is tantamount to breaking the cage that imprisoned him.From then on, they no longer have to be bound by the royal family rules, and no longer have to salute ridiculous imperial edicts. They can leave their fiefdoms, choose a different life, and achieve many things that they dared not think about before.
Of course, before that, the feudal lords had to deal with one thing first, and that was the relationship with Hai Han.If they don't get Haihan's support, or even become Haihan's enemies, then their life in the future may not be as easy as when they were vassal kings.
Whether to become a supporter of Haihan wisely, or to support his own self-respect and confront Haihan, the vassal kings of course have the freedom to choose.And the really smart people had already started secretly communicating with Haihan when the situation in Daming was not good.And at that time, the vassal king had more negotiating capital, so the representatives sent to Sanya were even received by Tao Donglai in person, which is why Tao Hongfang knew the inside story.
Although Tao Hongfang, who was still studying at the time, didn't quite understand the purpose of King Zhu Jiafan's sending people to Sanya, but as he gained more knowledge, he could gradually understand what these people were planning.
Some people want to replace Chongzhen and take the initiative to act as puppets for Haihan to take over the Great Tomorrow.Some people want to attach themselves to Haihan, even if they can't keep the title of vassal king, they still want to keep their family's wealth and special status in the place.
Of course, there will also be careerists with high self-esteem, hoping to take advantage of the changing situation in the world to cooperate with Haihan and win better treatment for themselves than the vassal king, such as becoming the hero of Haihan to calm the world.The reason why these people think they have such qualifications is because before that, Daming had already had a successful example that was not a vassal king but was better than a vassal king.
Tao Hongfang clearly remembered that his father once said to himself in private that many people in Daming hated Xu Xinsu, but the reason was not entirely because Xu Xinsu betrayed Daming's interests, but because these people could not make themselves become Xu Xinsu .
In other words, if he could gain power in the local area like Xu Xinsu, and even ignore the imperial decree, many people would rush to cooperate with Haihan.Even if some of them are pure descendants of the Zhu family, they still have uncontrollable ambitions to realize.
But at that time, Haihan's influence was limited to the southern coastal areas, and he was powerless in the northern areas where the Ming vassals were located, and it was unlikely to support a local separatist force like Xu Xinsu in these places.However, through these secret exchanges, Haihan also mastered some special resources, which will help in receiving the formerly ruled area of Ming Dynasty in the future.
Tao Hongfang said: "Nowadays, only the area around Gyeonggi is left in the Ming Dynasty and still has a symbolic right to rule. If these vassal princes do not want to be driven back to live under the same roof as Chongzhen, they have to find a way to live independently. They have found a way out. But there are really not many choices left for them. If they don’t take the initiative to seek cooperation with our country, they can only wait to slowly become rural rich people.”
Bai Letong said: "When it comes to this topic, we must also praise our country's propaganda methods. As far as I know, the sales scope of official newspapers like Haihan Times has not been limited to our country's rule for a long time. There are a considerable number of subscribers in Daming, and most of them are powerful figures in the upper class of society. The various news published in the newspaper can also be seen by many feudal lords. The two relatives In contrast, you will naturally gradually understand the strength of our country, and you will inevitably have various thoughts over time."
What Haihan can give, Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City can't.People's hearts are complicated, but the truth is as simple as that.The lords of the Zhu family took the initiative to come to seek cooperation, which can be regarded as the trend of the times, what people want, and a matter of course.
However, which member of the Zhu family were escorted south by the two officers, and the young people did not have more information, so of course they couldn't guess.And considering their own identities, it is impossible for them to pursue and investigate this matter, so they can only chat about it as a topic after dinner.
Nothing to say that night.In the early morning of the next day, everyone didn't even eat breakfast. After a simple wash, they left the guest house and went east.
They have long heard about the prosperity of Dinghai Port in Zhoushan in various reports, and now they are fortunate enough to stay here for a short time, so they must seize the time to see it.
When we arrived near Xiaozhu Mountain, there were indeed many carriages and rickshaws waiting to attract customers.This place is right in the middle of Dinghai Port, which divides the entire harbor into two, which happens to be the dividing line between the military base and the commercial port.These civilian vehicles cannot enter the military base, so they are waiting for customers here in Xiaozhushan.Most of the soldiers who go out from the military base go to the commercial area for consumption, so there are quite a few people who will call a car here.
Of course, Tao Hongfang and the others did not need to do such a thing as hiring a car. Their own entourage rushed ahead to make arrangements quickly, and then the group of people took four carriages to the business district of Dinghai Port.
If we make a horizontal comparison from the perspective of terrain, the length of the coastline of Dinghai Port Business District is actually almost the same as that of Sanya Shengli Port, but the depth of space is slightly better than that of Dinghai Port, so the area available for development is actually larger than that of Shengli Port City Some.
And Shi Diwen did not waste this geomantic treasure land. More than 20 years of continuous operation and construction have successfully promoted this place to the most prosperous port in the entire East China Sea.
The young officials let the hired horse-drawn carriage run along the docks of the port area first, and it was not surprising to find that the scale of the port construction here was indeed comparable to that of Victory Port.Moreover, there are many warehouses and shops near the pier, and giant advertising signs with Haihan characteristics can be seen everywhere on the roof, so that ships entering and leaving the port can notice the content on the sea far away.
There are also all kinds of ships entering and leaving the port. They took a casual look on the carriage and recognized ships from many countries, including galleons and flute sailing ships from Europe.The sharp-eyed Ning Zijing even found a trading post with the VOC flag of the Dutch East India Company. It seems that Western businessmen also attach great importance to the influence of this regional trade center.
