Chapter 1152: Between Trade-offs
After that, the Mongols sent troops to attack twice, especially the Yuan Dynasty and the Hannan Army in the three provinces of Jianghuai, Jiangxi, and Huguang in the third time, as well as the Yunnan soldiers and the Li soldiers of the four overseas states, and invaded Vietnam separately. Zhang Wenhu and others followed the army to transport 700,000 stone of grain from the sea. Set up the province of Jiaozhi Xingshangshu, Oluchi for the Pingzhang affairs, Wu Ma'er, Fan Ji consul general political affairs, subject to the Zhennan King control. This time, both the troops, or the grain and grass were extremely well prepared, and they began to capture it on the second day, but as a result, the Annam Forbidden Army guarded Lingjing Pass, and the Xingde Hou Qian generals fought against the war, shooting the Yuan Dynasty army with poisoned arrows, and the Yuan Dynasty army suffered heavy casualties and retreated to Wugao Pass. On the 28th, the head of the sentence, Rende Hou Xuan, fought against the Yuan Dynasty army in Duo Mou Bay, the Yuan Dynasty army was defeated again, and the Annan army captured 40 enemy soldiers and boat weapons.
The war ended with the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty in three invasions of Vietnam, and after that, Yuan Shizu still did not want to end the war against Vietnam. The following year, Yuan Shizu still planned to send troops to Vietnam, but he could not continue due to the rush of time. After the victory of the Tran dynasty in Vietnam, it immediately sent an envoy to the Yuan to ask for tribute to the Yuan dynasty as precedented. Yuan Shizu also had no intention of fighting, and agreed to make peace, so that the two sides could restore the relationship between the clan and the vassal in the past. Although Yuan Shizu intended to use the refusal of the Vietnamese king to come to the dynasty as the pretext before his death, he raised troops to invade Vietnam again, but the plan was terminated just because ......of his death, and the Yuan Dynasty has attacked many times since then, but the gains outweigh the losses. “
"It seems that this Annan is really an ominous place, although I am unwilling, but the current situation makes me have to give up?" Zhu Zhanji silently calculated in his heart, when Chengzu was invited by Annan Chen, he had to send troops to Annan, and then he was tempted to occupy Annan, and according to Zhang Fu's strong military talent, he sent troops four times, destroyed the Hu family, and attacked the Chen family, so that Annan was included in the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.
At that time, in order to gain the support of the people of Annam, Chengzu claimed that in order to respond to the request of the local officials and elders for the "original retro county", he changed its name to "Jiaozhi", and set up "three divisions" such as the Command Envoy Division, the Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and the Punishment and Prosecution Envoy Department in accordance with the administrative division model of Ming Dynasty China. Subsequently, the Ming court set up 15 prefectures, 36 prefectures, more than 180 counties, and five prefectures directly under the political department, with 29 counties under its jurisdiction, and 11 guards, 3 institutes, and one city in important places.
In order to better govern Annam, Ming Chengzu made a lot of efforts, first handing over the address of the population, and adopting the same yellow book system as China. The government shall record the name, age and place of origin of the person who has handed over the address in the book, and according to these materials, make a certificate and let the person hold it for the government to check. If a person's documents are found to be inconsistent with those in the books, he must be arrested and sent to the army.
The booklet of the Ming government's government will register all the numbers of Ding and Tian in each li (in the countryside, the Li Jia system is set up, with 110 households as one li, and 10 households as one Jia, Li Chang, A has a head), Yifang (city) and Yixiang (suburbs) all the Ding and Tian numbers. Widows and widows with disabilities are registered in a separate book called "deformity". These books, in turn, draw maps on the frontispiece. After the compilation of the book, it was copied into four copies, one with a yellow cover and the other three with a blue cover, and handed over to the political envoy and the prefectures and counties for safekeeping. The number of fields is updated every 10 years, so as to ensure the population of Annam and facilitate the collection of taxes.
The second point is in the tax economy, because Annam is biased towards the south and has just surrendered, so at the beginning of the reign, the imperial court adopted a number of tax and service systems for Cochin. In the twelfth year of Yongle, the Ming court stipulated that five liters of millet per mu of land should be levied, one or two silk per mu of mulberry sand should be planted, and one horse of silk per catty of silk should be levied. The Ming government also set up a salt tax, and the people of Jiaozhi boiled a certain amount of salt every month, and sent it to the lifting department for collection, and only after the inspection of the political envoy department could it be sold. If you cook or sell it privately, you will be convicted. It can be said that there is still mercy on the subordinates in this regard, of course, it is not without any benefits, and they are taking Jiaozhi resources and shipping them back to China. All gold and silver minerals are mined by officials and people. In the mountains and forests, people are asked to look for ivory and rhino horns. In the coastal area, people go to the sea to collect pearls.
In addition, native products such as pepper and spices, as well as rare birds and animals such as deer, elephants, turtles, finch, apes, snakes, etc., were looted to bring back to China, these things are rare things, for the enrichment of the palace, for Zheng He to go to the West brought bad benefits, but compared to the investment of the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing.
The third point is that in terms of culture and education, from the fifth year of Yongle, the imperial court opened a school in Jiaozhi, and asked those who were talented in Confucianism, medicine, and monks to be entrusted with official positions and taught relevant talents. In terms of the learning curriculum of the Jiaozhi people, the Ming court issued books such as the "Four Books and Five Classics" and "The Great Encyclopedia of Sexual Principles" in the Chinese Confucian classics to all prefectures and counties as readers, and sent monks to spread Buddhism and Taoism.
For the scholars of Jiaozhi, the Ming court was committed to recruiting them at the beginning of the occupation. For example, in the sixth lunar month of the Yongle year, Ming Chengzu ordered Zhang Fu, the chief military officer of the address, to "cherish the talent, the mountains and forests, the Ming scriptures and the ability to write, the erudite and talented, the virtuous and square, the filial brother Litian, the wisdom and integrity, the incorruptible and capable, the practice of officials, proficient in calligraphy, the art of war, the martial arts, the appearance of the burly, the language is convenient, the strength of the brave, the number of yin yang, the medicine of the people, carefully visited, with gifts to Beijing for use." ”
Later, measures were formulated for the entry of Sui Gong students into the Guozijian: at first, it was stipulated that two students were selected every year for the prefecture school, three students were selected for the state school every two years, and one student was selected for the county school every year. Later, it was changed to: one student is selected every year, two students are selected every three years, and one person is selected every two years for county schools. The Department of Political Envoys, the Department of Procuratorial Envoys, and local officials of Fuzhou County are responsible for arranging for students to enter Beijing for Hajj on the first day of the first lunar month of the second year after they are selected. As for the conditions for being selected as a tributary student to enter the Guozijian, it is "regardless of the age of admission, choose a learner". In doing so, fundamentally, it is to let the Annan people be assimilated by the advanced culture of the Ming Dynasty, and Chengzu spent a lot of thought on this, but now it seems that the effect is not great.
In addition to the above three aspects, in order to facilitate the management of Annam, the Ming court obeyed the construction of the chief military officer Zhang Fu, and established a post station system from the Qinzhou area of Guangxi to Dongguan City (present-day Hanoi, Vietnam). As a result, the Ming government set up horse posts from Dongguan City to Gia Lam County, Tsz Son Province (now Gia Binh County, Bac Ninh Province, Vietnam); In addition, the Ming government in Zhiling County (in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam), Dong Chao County (in Haiyang Province, Vietnam) and to the Wanning Province bordering Qinzhou, set up a water station, so that the official documents can be transmitted, and it is said that the etiquette and religion have not been less thoughtful, but the effect is not necessarily good, the whole Yongle Dynasty, Annam has been rebelling continuously, all kinds of guerrilla warfare have come and gone, making people have a headache and helpless at the same time, when Ming Chengzu was there, relying on his majesty, and the Ming Dynasty was in his prime, he could also fight this war of attrition.
But in the late Yongle period, the imperial court dredged the canal, consolidated Liaodong, the treasure ship went to sea, moved the capital to Beijing, sent troops to Mongolia, and edited the "Yongle Canon", which all cost a lot of silver, if it was not for the Hongwu time, thirty years of recuperation, the Ming really couldn't help tossing, this consequence to the later Yongle period, more and more obvious, the Ming Dynasty in Annan for many years, as if falling into a bottomless abyss, the Ming soldiers are killed and injured countless times every year, because of the war, and the people's hearts have not been returned, the taxes that can really be collected are pitifulOn the contrary, it costs a lot of domestic demand every year, year after year, from the fifth year of Yongle, it has never been broken, this kind of consumption has undoubtedly increased the burden of the people of the Ming Dynasty, caused great dissatisfaction among the people, and finally broke out the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect of Tang Sai'er, which greatly weakened the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Zhanji thought about it for a while, and his heart gradually became clear, although in recent years, his father and himself have been committed to recuperation, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty has recovered, but in recent years, the strength of Mongolia in the north has increased greatly, so that he has to guard against it, and the disasters left by the vassal kings in the past few years have also greatly hindered the pace of the Ming Dynasty's progress, so to speak, the current Ming Dynasty really can't help the long-term war.
It is one thing to understand that this is one thing, and it is another thing to do what to do, what Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu said is of course very reasonable, but as a descendant of the emperor, the country laid down by the ancestors was discarded in his own hands, this fact made him feel a little ugly, this fact made him feel a little ugly, this is not a matter of reputation, but a question of keeping, whether he can keep the country laid by his ancestors, is also a big problem for testing his descendants.
Zhu Zhanji hesitated for a while, the ministers could see it clearly, no one spoke at this time, the hall was peaceful, but everyone's eyes were staring at Zhu Zhanji.
Yang Zheng was a little anxious, he had already seen that Zhu Zhanji was just tired of the endless wars for Annan, and he didn't want to give up.
Knowing this, he thought about it and felt that it was time to say the idea brewing in his heart, and with a slight groan, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to say?" “
At this time, in the palace, because Sanyang expressed his attitude, the civil and military officials were not good at saying anything, just waiting for the emperor to make a decision, so the hall was very quiet, Yang Zheng's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they raised their eyes and looked over.
Feeling the confusion of everyone's eyes, Yang Zheng didn't care, deliberately straightened up, looked at Zhu Zhanji and said: "Your Majesty, Annan can only attack, not retreat?" ”
Zhu Zhanji was a little hesitant, listening to Yang Zheng's words, his eyes were on his face, he had always known that Yang Zheng had a lot of ghost ideas, and he seemed to be confident when he heard his tone, and said in his heart: "It's okay, I'll listen to what you say?" ”
"What did Yang Aiqing say?" Zhu Zhanji glanced at him and asked lightly.
At this time, the ministers also began to discuss because of Yang Zheng's words, and the originally quiet palace immediately became lively.
