The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 157: Masterpiece for Mazu

During the voyage, four cruise ships were dispatched to escort, escorting two cargo ships and a Foget Clipper. They were all Western plywood ships with bulging sails and fast speeds.

  Folgate’s express boat is specially used for transportation and delivery of dignitaries. The speed is very fast, and after special design, there is a bed in the box and a separate bathroom, and the conditions are comfortable.

   Yan Changwu was on the deck of the Clippers, watching the water and the sky, the waves were rolling, and his heart was fluctuating.

   You don’t need to be a captain this time, you can quietly think about some things, such as the future road of the Southeast Mansion, how should you cut into the mainland hegemony?

   Southeast Mansion is inevitable, and occupying Southeast Asia is the only way to the next step. In Yan Changwu's view, when the fifth-tier cruise ship enters service, you can do it, or if you do it after the third-tier battleship is built, the chance of victory is even greater.

Currently in Southeast Asia, the rambutans are mainly the Spaniards who occupy the Philippines and the Dutch who occupy Batavia (Indonesia). As the two great powers in the sea, their power is undoubted, but they are too far away from the mainland. There are almost no professional warships, and they are all gunboats transformed by merchant ships, while the warships in the Southeast Mansion are warships.

When    fights, Yan Changwu thinks he is not afraid at all.

   But continental hegemony?

   Yan Changwu has a sense of powerlessness. He has a bit of money, but not much. Investing in the mainland is like a bottomless pit. He can't afford a big battle at the moment.

  He has warships, and there will be many more in the future, but warships cannot go ashore.

   He has a large number of musketeers to deal with the Qing army in its heyday, which is not enough!

   The musketeer was still too backward. Although he used the best flintlock musketeer, the front chamber was loaded with ammunition to deal with the roaring cavalry. It was a headache to think about it.

   The key is that the opponent's war fighters are like clouds. They are rich in combat experience. Yan Changwu's musketeers did not go through a big battle, and they all fought on ships. If they fight on land, that is another category.

   As for the influence of mainland officialdom?

   Yan Changwu shook his head with a wry smile. He is a pirate thief. People are polite to him, but he is polite to his money, and he doesn't look down on him in his heart.

  He made up his mind:

  In the case of the mainland, we should intervene appropriately to achieve a balance of revenue and expenditure.

   Fully manage the maritime business, break through Southeast Asia as soon as possible, try to get it done in three to five years, and capture Australia within ten years!

   The Ming Dynasty can last for more than ten years. When Australia is settled, the strength of the Southeast Mansion will leap to a new level, and it may be possible for the mainland to compete for hegemony.

   He cried: "Zhang Shouyun!"

   "Master, what's the order?" asked Zhang Shouyun, the minister in charge of the guard.

   "Take it down, and when you come back, immediately set up a'nursery' and all newborn expenses will be paid by the government and the hospital will be increased to achieve medical insurance! Also, the North must be prepared to pay more!"

"Yes!"

   What is needed is population, population!

  Although the Southeast Mansion keeps hiring people in, Yan Changwu still hates that the population is not large enough. The more the better, all the people from the mainland should be moved over. Anyway, the war in the north will kill you in vain.

  ……

   The sailing ship sailed quickly along the coast, and within a few days, the fleet arrived at Tianjin Wei.

None of the cruise ships opened their muzzles, and the open deck guns were all wrapped up. All the guns were not exposed. The seven splint ships should have been eye-catching, but the small officers of the Tianjin guard ship who came to inspect them all saw it. Without looking at it, I heard that it was a ship from Taiwan Satellite, which was released immediately!

   It's all set up, just kidding, how can the manpower and money of the Southeast Mansion be useless? A big leader must do everything, and what other people do!

  Tianjin Weiji is prosperous, the port masts are like forests, the ships are like crucian carp, and the wharf is a cargo distribution center. Scenes of cargo loading and unloading can be seen everywhere. There are many footmen and boats coming and going.

  Yan Changwu has a kind of sadness. Once the Qing army enters the customs and the nest is covered, there will be no eggs, and maybe it is his Yan Dashao who came over to make trouble and destroy the port!

   The two merchant ships brought some silk, tea, rum, and milk candy, so they asked the porter to load some to the capital.

   A few trivial matters, don't need Yan Changwu to pay attention to it, he took the men and horses and went to the Sea God Temple to burn incense.

   There are many risks on the way north. The sailors of the night sailing have encountered squally winds and waves many times, and each time they survived thanks to the help of the sea god, and the sea **** is the mother of Mazu.

   Therefore, the fishermen and boatmen who traveled from the north to the south built temples on both sides of the Haihe River in Tianjin, called the "Tianfei Palace", which is highly respected by the Southeast Government, so Yan Changwu had to be incense.

He has materialistic thoughts. However, over the years, he has been very pious in his belief in the concubine of heaven, and has completely broken away from the thinking of pseudo-believers. Believe it or not is one thing, he regards her old man as a kind of spiritual sustenance, or He is a listener of thoughts, telling her the good ones, and telling her the bad ones.

   The Tianfei Palace in Dazhigu, built in 1316, is called "East Temple", and the Tianfei Palace in Xiaozhigu, built in 1326, is called "West Temple", as evidenced by Zhuzhi Ci:

   Temple appearance, right, and Tai Dingzhong, this year, Bo got a smooth sail;

   The mouth of the Sancha River is like a cloud ship, and all pray to the Lingci Tianfei Palace.

   Yan Changwu went to the two temples one after another, and finally arrived at the West Temple. In the main hall, the heavenly concubine's empress has kind eyebrows and good-looking eyes, her demeanor is graceful, and the phoenix crown is beautiful.

  A clever temple wish, seeing them are very popular in this line, and the youth among them have a huge aura, why don't they come forward with the merit book and ask him for alms!

   "Taiwan Yan Changwu, donate 100 taels of silver!" Zhang Shouyun said, and his subordinates immediately sent the silver taels that had been prepared.

   "Taiwan Yan Changwu!" The temple muttered, suddenly exclaimed: "Golden bronze boy?! A well-deserved reputation!"

   It turns out that Yan Changwu's reputation has spread to the north, and not everyone in the north knows him, but the temple blessing of the Tianfei Palace is still clear, and Gein's "dividing spirit" ceremony.

   The beliefs of Mazu include ancestral temples and deities. The ancestral temple is located in Meizhou, Quanzhou. All the mazu gods under this world are divided from the ancestral temple, so they have some understanding of the changes in the gods of the ancestral temple.

   Over the years, with Yan Changwu's strong rise, and he fed the ancestral temple with money, he forced himself to become a demigod and a half-human faith.

   The temple wished well-informed and clever people. He accepted the silver and asked Yan Changwu to leave the calligraphy as a memory.

Think about it, Yan Changwu. He used to be a map editor, and he ran around the world. He really came to this West Temple~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is something interesting in this West Temple, so let’s treat it as the original owner. , Otherwise there should be no historical changes.

   "Pen and ink wait!"

Everyone watched him write together. Over the years, under the pressure of Chen Zhongji (you should be decent if you are the boss), Yan Changwu's calligraphy has improved, and the characters he wrote are no better than the old Tokugawa of the Edo Shogunate. (You are not even as good as the Japanese), but at least you can get the eye.

   "Bu Tianwa, goddess of walking earth, great work, to the kun, two goddess through the ages; the sage of water management, the sage of Jichuan, the clearness of the river, the sage of the sea, and the same sacred power in Kyushu"

This work was supposed to be made by Zheng Ruiqi. Zheng Ruiqi was written by Renguo, a native of Minxian (now Fuzhou), Fujian Province. He was a scholar in the 20th year of Jiaqing (1819). Nandao and Jiujiang Pass supervised, changed the Qingyuan prefect, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a Taoist narrator who insisted on adhering to Qingyuan and used to break the enemy's merits.

   In the sentence, she used Nuwa to repair the sky and Tianfei Sihai as a comparison, thinking that Nuwa has virtue to the sky, and Tianfei has a virtue to the earth. Tianfei and Nuwa are two goddesses in the ages. In the dialogue, the author also called Dayu of the Xia Dynasty a saint, and Mazu escorted the good luck as a saint, so that the river was clarified and the sea did not raise waves. Therefore, Mazu's merits can also be called saints just like the water management hero Dayu.

   Zheng Ruiqi once went to the West Temple and left his masterpiece. Now, the honor belongs to my Yan Daxiao!

   The masterpiece came out, and it shocked many people at once, and they all praised it. The temple's blessings were resolute and vigorous. They immediately called for a craftsman to make couplets immediately and hung them on the main hall.

  Since then, Tianjin Tianfei Palace West Temple has overshadowed the East Temple because of Yan Changwu’s masterpiece, and the East Temple is so angry that he sighs that I don’t know Mount Tai! (In fact, Yan Changwu also donated a hundred taels in Dongmiao, but the temple blessings there were not clever enough)
