431th Vietnam's Great Voyage

Beyond the imagination of the Shiyan and Shiliang brothers, the Wu family attaches great importance to the 12 international students.

Wu Qihua did not arrange to wait for foreign students in the Xin'an Guozijian, which has a lower threshold. Instead, he spent a lot of political resources and sent him to the better-known and more formal Yashan Guozijian to study.

Yashan Guozijian is located in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the coastal islands were remote and impoverished, and they were all remotely controlled by Zhongshan County. Following the Wei Xia dynasty, the Viet Nam vassal state was established. While vigorously developing a sufficient treasury for maritime trade, it also accepted refugees from the Central Plains to expand its population, and the marine economy slowly developed. Before the establishment of Yashan Guozijian, this place has spontaneously formed a commercial port that cannot be ignored. The king of the Yue Kingdom considered that this place was only one sea away from Yashan, so he set up Yashan County in the name of commemorating "Zhao Song Yashan's defeat". When the demand for seafarers increased, the princes of the Yue Kingdom set up the Yashan Guozijian (Haike) in Yashan County, dedicated to cultivating usable naval personnel in batches.

In terms of prosperity alone, Yashan County is better than Jiaozhi Wangdu.

Perhaps the inefficiency of the sailing era, large and small sea ships in the port, sails like the sky and decks like the ground, the scene is extremely shocking. Not only Shiyan and other international students were amazed at this picture, but Wei Dongsheng also stunned: When the third generation experience passed through Yashan County, how could this place be so prosperous! In just eighteen years, Yashan County has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In addition to the advantages of the number of sailboats, the harbor is also full of positive spirits that the Jiaozhi domain does not possess, as if playing a passionate march. After the opening of the new route, or it can be traced back to Vietnam’s dominance of the Indian Ocean, precious metals such as gold and silver from all over the world began to flow into the two major trade black holes of Guangzhou and Quanzhou. The other vassal states of the Wei Xia Empire gradually became the logistics bases of the Yue State. The special products of the vassal states were transported to the Canton Mansion not far away, and they did their best to share some of the profits from ocean trade.

The aboriginal treasures of Penglai and Kunlun, the exotic customs of Flangji and Tianzhu, and the excellent specialties of other feudal kingdoms all appear in Xiaoxiaoyashan County.

The above is a good impression.

Yashan County also has a bad impression, first of all the shocking gap between the rich and the poor.

Luxurious marine merchants carry gold into boxes, while groups of ragged beggars are struggling to survive in Yashan County like mice. After the sea merchants became rich, they habitually purchased a large amount of land and inherited the family. The phenomenon of land mergers in Vietnam has become so serious that it is unimaginable. They are large landowners with thousands of acres and tens of thousands of acres of land. Every day, countless bankrupt farmers flock to the prosperous coastal ports to survive. .

If lucky enough to get a job, bankrupt farmers may be able to quietly transform into citizens.

Unfortunately, not every bankrupt farmer has the opportunity to find a job. Peasants who have neither land to live on nor work to support their families quickly degenerate-become "lazy poor" criticized by public opinion, or wander blindly, or beg for survival. Fortunately, Yue State has already launched a large-scale voyage, which can calmly guide unstable factors overseas and avoid the worries of peasant uprisings and righteousness.

Of course, just like Shiyan, Shiliang, Jiang Shengxing, Liu Lianggen and others are unwilling to go to sea, many Vietnamese people are unwilling to beg for living in the sea. However, the vassal state does not pay attention to human rights. The patrols and even the army regularly and harshly clean the unstable factors of coastal ports. The arrest of strong men is like barbaric arrest of young and strong laborers, forcing them to be converted into the lowest-paid seamen.

As soon as Wei Dongsheng and other overseas students arrived in Hong Kong, they saw a group of tiger-wolf old staff unscrupulously arresting those seemingly strong and bankrupt farmers.

Born in Vietnam, he didn't even have the freedom to be a beggar.

Shiyan criticized sadly: "A harsh government!"

Unfortunately, Shiyan's sympathy and pity stop at words, and he can't do anything for the bankrupt farmers. After walking to the Yashan Imperial College, Shiyan quickly forgot his compassion and turned to camp and compete, make friends with valuable classmates, and find a shortcut to prosperity.

Next is the life of a supervising student in a real world university.

In other words, regardless of real-world experience or previous three-life experience, Wei Dongsheng is not familiar with the details of the navy in the sailing era. If you want to experience the atmosphere of the great sailing age up close, Wei Dongsheng must learn the basics of sailing with a humble attitude. Wei Dongsheng studied this for four years. In 1487, Wei Dongsheng, Shiyan and other foreign students graduated from the Yashan Imperial College on time and were dispatched to the Yashan Naval Base as foreign recruits on the spot.

In 1488, Wei Dongsheng and Shiyan joined a small fleet as trainee officers and were ordered to reinforce the Penglai trading post. This small fleet consists of three warships, the flagship "Qujiang" is about 500 tons, and the other two warships "Yingde" and "Wengyuan" are small warships of about 350 tons.

Wei Dongsheng and Shiyan were directly incorporated into the flagship Qujiang due to the academic qualifications and the excellent evaluation of the completion of the Yashan Imperial College.

The Qujiang is a standard warship, equipped with 120 foreign recruits and 90 seamen. Ignoring the 120 infantry soldiers who are different from the navy system, 15 of the 90 sailors are officers. Although Wei Dongsheng and Shiyan are newcomers, they have become two of them because of the shining Yashan Guozijian scholars.

Boarding is a trainee officer, which is the privilege of Yashan Imperial College graduates.

On the other hand, the most numerous sailors and handymen, they may have risked their lives on the ocean for many years, but unfortunately because they have no contacts, no fame, no opportunities, etc., they can only be sailors all their lives. Perhaps due to the reversal of the history of the enfeoffment system, the Wei Xia Empire's hierarchical concept has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The officer looked down on the sailors from a condescending position and managed the sailors with the most demanding military discipline, especially some bankrupt farmers who were forced to conscript. They were given a whip every day when they first boarded the ship.

The invisible treatment of officers and sailors is also worlds apart.

Before going to sea, the captain specially summoned Wei Dongsheng and Shiyan, and euphemistically told them how much marine cargo they could carry. Carrying sea cargo is smuggling. Treating the warship belonging to the country as a merchant ship with limited capacity, reselling the special products of the ports along the way to other ports for profit. In terms of national interest, the Yue State has already banned this kind of behavior, but the difficulty of execution and other factors have caused smuggling of warships to still prevail. In terms of current public opinion, the reason why seafarers are willing to wander in the ocean is because they are eager to make a fortune through smuggling.

After decades of development, smuggling-smuggling has even gradually formed industry rules. There are clear unspoken rules for how many marine products a sailor can smuggle, how many marine products a gunner can smuggle, and how many marine products an officer can smuggle. Especially at the officer level, the officer has the privilege to occupy a large number of unused cargo holds for smuggling. At this time, how to allocate the proportion of cargo holds deeply requires an officer’s management wisdom.

When Wei Dongsheng was in his first life, he also heard about navy smuggling and repeatedly issued regulations to restrict it. However, looking at naval smuggling and smuggling from the emperor's perspective, and navy smuggling and smuggling as a trainee officer, feel completely different. The rampant smuggling-smuggling and smuggling-smuggling tactics of the Vietnamese Navy made Wei Dongsheng dumbfounded. Witnessing and participating in the smuggling and smuggling of warships in the sailing age is far more insightful for Wei Dongsheng than reading those nautical diaries.

Wei Dongsheng tried to integrate into the Vietnam Navy and said with emotion, "It's really corrupt."

Shiyan was also very distressed: "My father often said that the officials are cunning and must not be guarded. In the past, I only said that the villain was greedy for gain and forgotten righteousness. Now that I joined the army as a pawn, I know that the world is so desperate. Can students who have grown up in such a harsh environment be able to uphold justice without advocating the ban on academic examinations?"

Shiyan is considered half Confucian.

Mechanisms such as the division of the lord and the study of the Imperial College have greatly weakened the influence of Confucianism. In particular, the previous northern vassal states competed fiercely with each other. Whoever dares to reuse pure Confucianism and ignore military construction will definitely be humiliated by the smashed teeth of the neighboring vassal states. However, Confucianism has been passed down for a long time, and its ideas and thoughts are still widely circulated among the scholar-official community. Take Shiyan as an example. Although he conformed to the trend and adapted to the political pattern of the twenty vassal states of the Wei Xia Empire, he also inherited the classics of Confucianism, which seemed quite schizophrenic.

Shiyan hates the injustice of being born noble, but actively flatters the Viscount Wu family.

Shiyan felt sorry for the misery of the bankrupt farmers, but was unwilling to share the joys and sorrows of the bankrupt farmers.

Shiyan was saddened by the corruption of the Vietnamese Navy, but in order to protect himself and its future, he corrupted with them along with the tide.

After going out to sea, the fleet headed north and successfully arrived at a port in the country.

After the Wei Xia revolution, the imperial family fought against the northern vassal states, and Zhu Chongba, the prince of Lelang, made peace with the Japanese. Therefore, the Wei Xia Empire had a relatively small influence on the history of the Japanese. When the Yue Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom rise, they will attach importance to maritime trade profits, and their expansion in Tianzhu and Wa will stop at a stable trading point similar to that of the Zhu Ming Dynasty in Macau in the real world, and they have no ambition to conquer foreign countries. However, due to internal contradictions and other factors, the Japanese country still hobbled into the Warring States era of separatist rule decades ago. After the great turmoil in the Japanese nation, Vietnam and Weiguo took advantage of the trend to choose cooperative allies and established many supply ports along the coast.

At the port of Waguo, seamen and infantry carried by three warships swarmed out.

The seafarers first cash in the merchandise they carry. The navy is relatively well-informed. They probably know which ports are best to sell, and they deliberately selected light-weight and small-sized lucrative products before they came. Unless it is particularly unlucky to encounter the periodic decline of certain commodities, there is generally a high profit of 30% to 150%. This time we stopped at the country, everyone was lucky. The gross profit of many products was as much as 60%, that is, goods with a cost of 10 taels of silver could be sold for 16 taels of silver.

After cashing out, the seafarers proceeded with crazy consumption. I also don't know how the seafarers formed their concept of consumption. The lower the status of the sailor, the better at spending money. The grassroots seafarers had just smuggled goods to make a small amount of money, and they spent nothing in a blink of an eye. According to Wei Dongsheng’s statistics, the majority of grass-roots seafarers’ consumption expenditure is looking for women and drinking wine: perhaps the sailing time is too long, and the seafarers have just called at the port, and the seafarers visit the local area in groups to promote excellence; some seafarers with some spare money and sweet mouths, or even Seeing needles to hook up the good women
